#ARE THE OTHERS

[aroace-poly-show]

Some wild ass plot points from enstars I can think of off the top of my head:

The shinkai cult (kanata was the figurehead that was worshipped by his family and the rest of the cult including the characters souma kanzaki and madara mikejima. He is in a power ranger themed idol unit)

The kurone siblings (hitsugi is a new producer that enrolls alongside anzu at yumenosaki and he has DID and his alter is named NEGI and she’s his dead older sister. The real negi is dead because she was murdered in a fire while they were kids and Hitsugi has hella brain damage. He believes negi is not the product of did and is actually her ghost sharing his body. They are necromancers?? There is also another alter named shaka but I don’t know anything about them)

Related, apparently nagisa ran is a test tube baby (created by combining the genetics of some of the most talented and smartest people in the world to create the perfect idol for some nefarious purpose. The kurones (at least shaka and/or negi) are failed attempts at this)

Double face (a temporary unit made up of kohaku oukawa and Madara mikejima from crazy:b and mam respectively. The unit is a cover for them as they are literally assassins. I need to read their stories tbh.)

Both mika kagehira and nazuna nito believed they were dolls for a hot minute (especially mika) due to the intense abuse shu itsuki put them through

The Amagi brothers are indigenous royalty and rinne is supposed to be the monarch but ran away and hiiro followed him?? Rinne is also an alcoholic with a gambling addiction?? Idk man

And this is just stuff OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. ENSTARS IS SO FUCKING CRAZY

HELLO??????????

Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:

The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition

The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man

[apollos-boyfriend]

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.

My work boots are the most expensive shoes I’ve ever owned.

Also the most comfortable. I chose them after trying on several different brands and comparing lifespan vs usage vs comfort - I needed them for a physically demanding job, not the weekend hiking trails. I could have easily chosen cheaper boots that would have lasted long enough to be worth their low price, but I know the Sam Vimes Boot Theory and knew weaker, less comfortable boots would make my life harder in the long run.

So when the outside edge of the heel started wearing down after three years of heavy use I went to the shop I got them from and said “hey this is a common problem for me with how I walk but now it’s affecting my ankles and knees and I don’t wanna have to buy a new pair, is there a way to fix this?”

The salesman at this very fancy upscale boot store said “oh yeah, there’s a shoe repair place that can give you some heel guards - it’ll keep the rubber from wearing out.”

So at 8am this morning right after my 9hr shift ends I went to the shoe repair shop and it is the most hole-in-the-wall, is-this-a-real-business-or-a-mafia-front, am-I-gonna-get-shot tiny cinder block cube I’ve ever seen in my life. I grew up plenty poor and love me a good hole-in-the-wall business, but going from upscale store to this cash-only repair shop gave me whiplash. Wasn’t expecting this when a guy who wears three piece suits to sell boots said it’s the best place to go.

The skinny kid behind the counter looks somehow 16 and 25 at the same time, but when I tell him this place was recommended he smiles and says to hand over my boots. I hand him the vaguely warm foot-smelling boots, and stand in my socks in the 3’ square entryway surrounded by every color leather polish you could buy and watch as he turns my boots around in his hands, sizes up a crescent moon bits of plastic, and unceremoniously hammers tiny nails through them before handing them back.

The heels are perfectly level again. I can walk without almost rolling my ankles. They don’t clack loudly on the pavement or feel different. This is gonna fix my knee pain. It cost $10.

This kid had every tool he needed within arms reach, worked fast and smoothly, I was in and out the door in less than 8 minutes, and it only cost $10.

I didn’t think anything could cost only $10 anymore. I’m so used to hyperinflation prices I was spiritually thrown back to the 1400’s visiting the cobbler in town square. This kid might have been that cobbler and just decided to never die.

I’m still reeling from the whiplash, and gobsmacked at the price, and thrilled I didn’t have to go buy new, worse work boots (cuz I don’t have that kind of money for a second pair, I’m expecting these ones to last a decade) and it feels like I just experienced one of the rare little chunks of magic that floats around our world.
