#Maybe trying to befriend more

[kawarikisaki]

A little more from the Hakuba Timeloop because he’s on my mind and people seemed amused by the last one.

Most of this is all happening in different loops. Trying different eye colors for whole loops at at time and seeing how it effects how people think of him. He separately does the same with hair color, ranging mostly between blond and brown.

Also very amused imaging his parents in the background thinking he's going through some kind of phase as he appears to have suddenly decided to wear red contacts whenever he goes out.

March & Ryis thinking

Making this it's own post instead of hiding it in the tags on a shitpost: Part of why March seems to dislike us is because we're "new in town" & stealing his thunder - he has some lines implying that he thinks we're going to cut & run when things get too difficult, but other lines which imply that he's also jealous how much attention we get from the townspeople.

However, he also seems to be close friends with Ryis, who IIRC is also stated to be relatively new in town. I'm curious if the developers have a story in mind there, or if there's already something in the game suggesting why they get along so well. Did something happen between them? Does Ryis just pass his vibe check? I'm curious to hear if anyone else has any speculation/headcanons. Also please correct me if I'm off on any details, I haven't been able to play for a few months & also every time I try to read March's dialogue my vision clouds with red and rage overwhelms my soul

steve likes riding his motorbike to the beach at night. the roads are quiet, and the cool air brushes his cheeks as gentle as a lover's hand.

the ocean scares him a little, if he’s being honest. the way the waves crash onto the sand and break against the rocks—the loud sound sometimes catches him off guard. it reminds him of that time he fell from the sky, diving the plane into the ocean with nothing but stillnes and darkness waiting for him at the bottom. it reminds him of those men he once read in history books—of young japanese pilots who plunged their planes into their targets and vanished into the ocean. kamikaze, he recalls the word. the almost-similarity seems haunting to him.

but still, he keeps coming back.

each night, he parks his motorbike and walks toward the shoreline. he takes off his shoes and socks, rolls up his pants, and lets the cold sea foam kiss his ankles.

he doesn’t step in too deep, but it's enough for him to introduce himself like a shy new kid standing at the front of the class. enough to befriend the ocean all over again and whisper: hey, beautiful.

and when the waves turn a little bit calmer, steve thinks the ocean seems to remember him.🤍

before everyone gets sent to the middle of the galaxy*, we don’t see chibichibi do that much that could be described as interference with the past timeline but one thing she does do- the first thing she does at all- is rescue kakyuu. it's at least implied that kakyuu would have died otherwise- she even tells the starlights "Several times I tried to go to you. But my body's recovery took longer than expected... ChibiChibi was the one who helped me a lot." ultimately kakyuu helps usagi get to the galaxy cauldron, meaning her presence isn't inconsequential.

chibichibi also attempts to prevent the starlights from meeting kakyuu. she refuses when they ask and also did not at any point bring kakyuu's incense jail to them. now she obviously didn't feel that strongly about preventing it, she could blow up the starlights if she wanted, but i don't think she would've initially been against it for zero reason. and there is no way she doesn't already know their relationship even if you ignore that chibichibi is sailor moon from the future because she's been regularly talking with kakyuu about the starlights over the past few weeks or so.

this leaves me with some questions:

-what happens in the ‘first’ timeline that chibichibi/sailor cosmos originated from? mainly, does kakyuu live or die in that timeline? we don't actually know for sure despite the implication. does she live, but in a worse/damaged state? if she did die, how does chibichibi know her at all- hearing about her from the 'first' timeline starlights?

-why try to keep kakyuu from the starlights? attempted damage control to prevent the timeline from getting too different?

-if chibichibi’s interference caused kakyuu to live when she originally died, why do this? did she want someone to temporarily keep usagi company after all her friends died? did she just feel bad for kakyuu? did she know having kakyuu alive would get them to the galaxy cauldron more efficiently? clearly sailor moon got there one way or another in the ‘first’ timeline, and kakyuu implies that her star system (and by extension herself, as a princess) is just one of many that are all less powerful than our solar system, meaning she likely doesn’t possess the unique ability to travel there. it seems she just CAN help usagi get there because she knows where it is. but chibichibi herself could fulfill that role. so kakyuu is not necessary to get to the galaxy cauldron. therefore...?

i don't have answers. maybe to her it's like a videogame she's playing for the second time and she's like Ok This time i will see what happens if kakyuu lives. maybe she genuinely didn't know/forgot who kakyuu was and found her on the side of the road and was like 'well i might as well help this random passed out cosplayer while i'm here' and then it was thee alien princess and she was like I can't kill her now it'd be awkwarddddd. intergalactic toddler of mystery

I need more fics of Zuko working at a teashop with Iroh (be it Pao's (iirc) or the Jasmine Dragon) but he's just really fucking short. Because can you imagine, be it Jet, Katara, anyone who's met Zuko (either as Zuko or as Li) stumbles into the teashop, makes a scene and comes off as a bad guy because they bullied this little boy?

I think I've read just one fanfic where this was a thing and I need more people to adopt the idea.

I just think it'd be funny if Katara tried to do what Jet did (let's say this happened a few days prior to Azula capturing Ba Sing Se), left because she realized no one believed her, returned later with the rest of the Gaang, Sokka tried backing her claim, he ALSO gets reprimanded for making stuff up about a little boy, and meanwhile this is all happening Aang and Toph are having a delightful time with their new friend "Li." Should they do something? Maybe. Will they? Nah, anyways Li what tea would you recommend?

11 year old me would be so concerned about how much I care about what people think of my interests now a days. That little hell spawn did not use sneak around on "archer missions" and use her online name on tests for me to be cutting my serotonin production because of some random dranti in my college. LOCK THE FUCK IN, WE ARE ALREADY BAD AT MAKING SEROTONIN NATURALLY, DON'T PUT EXTRA SHIT ON TOP OF THAT

Apparently, I bring a 'let's befriend and laugh with all the staff' kind of vibe to the Mental Health Clinic, that other patients do not appreciate.

i'm so bad at making friends. never know what to do or say. wish other people would take the lead instead for once and do the hard part for me, but they never do!!!!! they expect and make me lead the conversation and make plans and all that. while they get so sit back and judge me while responding with 1-5 words, not giving me any info when I ask questions, and failing to contribute to any plans I try to make. then the friendship never happens or falls apart and fails very quickly because I suck at it, they don't do any of the work, they judge me, decide they don't like me, and they don't even try to help it 😭😭😭😭

I know "you don't want/need friends like that anyway" or whatever people tell me. but when you spend 15+ years trying to get even ONE person to do something with and never get to do that thing because every person is like this, how are you supposed to believe there's people out there NOT like this?! every year I try to talk to 50-100 different people at least. they're all like this!!!!!! so I dont seem to have another choice? lmao

everyone does this. cant escape it. cant find a single person that feels like puts in as much or more effort than me and helps me out down the supposed two-way street. feels like I must perform for everyone to win their approval. need to read their minds to know what play to put on. guess wrong and act the wrong way and they obly respond with a single clap or get up and leave. if I don't entertain them and win their approval, they don't even consider friendship. they never perform for me. i'm the monkey on the stage and don't ask them to dance for me. they won't anyway. if I ask anything in return, they run away. they're the audience I must entertain and be judged by them and if I don't get a perfect score, they leave and turn the lights off on my stage.

Dp x DC prompt #13 (yay lucky number!)

What if Danny is introduced to the family not as a gremlin, but as his friend from community College and he is so freaking normal that it makes the entire family suspicious. The only reason Jason decided to bring him along is that he knows Danny seems too normal for their cohort and it will utterly freak out Bruce and Tim, confuse Grayson and set off Damian. Jason though, he knows Danny is only normal for the first few times of interaction, then he starts getting weird even by Bat Family standards.

Jason: Hey. I brought my friend from campus tonight.

Danny: Hi! Nice to meet you!

Bat family: *suspicious eyes* Nice to meet you.

Danny: I totally didn't believe Jason when he said he was one of 5 kids but he proved me wrong. Lol.

Bat family: How'd you meet Jason?

Danny: OH! He's been tutoring me in English class and I've been helping him with Calculus. We met at the library when I was trying but failing to type a paper and ended up irritating him with my groaning. He walked right over asked me to shut up and I apologized and said I was having difficulty *insert English homework here* and he had a look utter disgust and surprise and said "how the fuck are you having problems with that?"

Jason: I was disgusted. That was such an easy topic.

Danny: For you maybe! Anyways I said "Well if it's so fucking easy, explain it to me. And he did! With way better clarity then my professor. So I thanked him and asked what I could do in exchange for help. He then told to stay fucking quiet o he can work on his stuff. And we went on about our business. A week later we were both back in the library again and he was banging his head, so I went over and asked if he was okay and he yelled to leave him alone and he just as I was about to leave I noticed he was working on calculus and told Jim I could help if he wanted. He looked at me like I was insane.

Jason: I was cause you are. Most people don't ask to help after being yelled and cursed at.

Danny: But you had helped me on my english paper! I wanted to return the favor! This happened a few more times before it became normal to meet at the library and work together!

The batfamily is reeling at this strangely normal and meet cute type story and the fact that Jason was going to college and nobody knew somehow (Alfred knew).

After meeting Danny, they stalk him to see if he was acting normal or trying to mess with Jason or Jason manipulated someone normal to mess with them. The first while Danny seems perfectly normal and innocent but after a while they start getting a feeling of something off about Danny like he was both him and not. They also notice that Jason tends to stay calmer when he is around Danny. As they realize he is weird and they slowly figure it out, they actually get less anxious about Danny. As someone not quite normal or human in Danny's case was far more comforting for them then anyone of them managing to befriend an actual normal civilian with no apparent baggage or extreme homelife. A
