Jan WBMC: No One Smiled by Jenny Nova, compiled by Nel Gosh

Happy New Year y'all! I'm so thrilled to welcome back Nel Gosh!!! WBMC alumni, ESPer-priestess, and founder of the "Movement to Kill Everyone." Nel's work is delirious, pointed, and achingly beautiful. No One Smiled is a 16 pg collection of poetry and collage by Jenny Nova, edited and compiled by Nel Gosh.

I met Jennifer the summer of 2021, while working on a small farm in rural pennsylvania. At the time she lived alone with her father and spent her free time preoccupied with understanding the conspiracy theories of the old order— jfk, alien invasion, cloned politicians, Bigfoot breeding programs, mkultra conditioning in cereal commercials— a welcome departure from modern conspiratorial concerns which have shifted further to the extreme rightwing, beliefs held by her father. That summer was also the last time I saw her in person, since she has moved to Eugene and lives in the care of several older women who sexually dominate her and have her sleep in a dog crate. With her permission I have gathered some odds and ends of the artistic work— poetry and visual art, mostly collage— that she was producing at the time. These works, she told me, will speak for themselves. I agree. ~Nel

No One Smiled is a 16pg zine being published in a limited physical run, available during January 2024 only!

“Well, I’m the oldest in our group, I love animals, I have a nut allergy, I can fit my whole fist in my mouth, and,” Raph continued the deluge of facts as Nel listened and commentated as she saw fit. It soon evolved into telling her all about their misadventures, their meeting with Draxum, their struggle with the Foot Clan and Shredder, and ending on Draxum becoming part of their family as Nel finished the first hand. “There you are; three out of six nails complete with Mayhem ears decals.” “Oh-mi-gosh!” Raph held up his fingers, completely taken by the designs as Nel took his other hand. “Lookit the wittle ears! You’re so good at this!”

THE FIC THE CHAPTER

[merbear25]

I have a request for some Nelliel x male reader smut.

Content: Kissing. Biting. Hickeys. Oral sex (Nel receiving.) Large breasts. Breast worship. Paizuri. Cum on tits. Thick thighs. Thigh worship. Thighjob. Rough sex. Aftercare.

Hello! Oh my gosh, I didn’t expect this to even be half as long as it turned out! This was actually my first time writing anything for Bleach, so I hope I did your request justice! 💜💜

You’ve been quietly admiring her since the day she took you under her wing. She was a marvel worthy of adoration, something that you’d like to remind her of.

CW: NSFW, MDNI, m!reader, reader is an Arrancar, everything in the ask applies, fingering

Setting time aside for self-indulgence (Nelliel)

Wandering the deserts of Hueco Mundo, the moon reflecting off the white sand illuminated the world around you. Crawling, diving, hiding from those larger than you brought on a fear you couldn’t out run. Looking over your shoulder was a constant, for failing to do so would end in your demise.

Easing your way out of the sand after barely overpowering and consuming those who’d attacked you, you popped up in the middle of Nel’s Fracción. Panic coursed through you as the reality of the situation set in; your chances of survival plummeted, which made the high from your success just moments prior meaningless.

“What should we do with him, Nel?”

As the Espada member came towards you, head held high and peering down at you, her mere presence shook you to your core. With such few exchanges between you, the shock of her accepting you as one of her Fracción nearly rattled you—unsure as to why she would take you in quickly became of no interest. After all, you were in no position to refuse.

With time passing and you gaining a significant amount of strength, you could say you were proud to serve her with confidence.

After having spent as much time as you had fighting alongside Nelliel, the pull of her charms were bound to captivate you. Though she fought with poise and composure, those who were closest to her saw a side that would melt the coldest of hearts.

Those moments when you were alone brought out her softer side. Such a caring individual who kept her bleeding heart behind closed doors in order to maintain her stern image. 

Seeing the beaming smile from her unearthed feelings which had remained dormant within the human soul you had many eons ago. As you placed a hand on her shoulder, the weight it held touched a sore spot. Tears beaded up in her eyes as your face expressed the compassion this world was barren of. 

Unable to bear watching the one who’d given you a chance at survival in the cruelty running rampant here, you pulled her into a tight embrace. Hushing her sobs in a soothing tone, she pressed firmly against you as if never feeling close enough.

Placing your cheek on the top of her head, you gently rubbed her back. When she pulled away slightly to look at you, her freshly tear-stained face tore away at your being.

Cupping her face, you stroked her cheek. “You are worth more than this world could ever appreciate.”

The flush that graced her cheeks made her sorrow-stricken face alluring. You leaned in to place a kiss on her inviting lips, deepening it with slight additions of your tongue timidly tracing the outline of her bottom lip. Without even thinking, you nipped at it. As her breath hitched and her body arched against yours, the humanity you both once had came alive in that moment.

Each kiss you trailed down her neck had her gasping, and when you bit and sucked at her delicate skin, her fingers dug into your shoulders. The sight of her lovely neck already bruising from your newfound fervor, fanned the flames to the carnal urges blazing with you.

“You deserve so much more than what this world has to offer.”

She pressed her face into the crook of your neck, muffling her whimper as your kindness pierced her core. With your hands gliding up her backside to her breasts, your thumbs found their way to her erect nipples, which were begging for attention. Circling them with the pads of your thumbs, you watched her expression intently in hopes of what you were doing would bring her some form of pleasure.

The gasp she let out was dripping with euphoria, and as she bit her lower lips in an attempt at stifling it, you drank in the beauty of her display.

“Let me finally show you just how much I appreciate you, Nel.”

She nodded, albeit apprehensively, she yearned to explore the avenues you two had just discovered. “I’d like that…”

Taking her to the bed, your hungry gaze wouldn’t break from the sways and bounces of her breasts. You dove back into kissing her neck, lapping up the sting your bites left behind while your hands groped and squeezed her breasts together. Feeling her tremble as you focused your attention on her nipples again, you got experimental—pinching and pulling at them.

With her thighs rubbing together on instinct, you buried your face in her bosom pressing them against your cheeks as you continued the relentless pressure on her nipples.

“It’s getting kinda…uncomfortable…”

You looked up at her with slight worry thinking you’d done something wrong, but when she threw off her top and grinned at you, you couldn’t suppress the groan passing your lips even if you tried.

Greedily taking one of her breasts in your mouth, you swirled your slick tongue around it before taking it between your teeth. As you alternated between them, you kept your hand on the other, twisting and plucking at the wet and reddened tip.

She wrapped her arms around you as she called out in ecstasy. While she forced you closer, you pried her legs open and gripped her hips to yank her against your own need for release. The way she arched her back drove you further into madness; the overwhelming urge to allow her to suffocate you with her affection was nearly enough to bring you over the edge.

Your hands explored the lower half of her body, squeezing at the soft fat on her inner thighs before moving upwards. Her thinly laced panties left little to the imagination; the slick of her arousal coated your fingers as you grazed her throbbing lips and found your way to her sensitive clit.

Throwing herself back on the bed, she begged you not to stop. She straddled you between her thighs, making it impossible to escape even if you wanted to. But who in their right mind could resist such temptation being sprawled out in front of them?

Her plump thighs clung around your waist while you applied pressure to her clit—rubbing and flicking it to earn more of the reactions you wanted. Your other hand massaged her thigh, making the lust within you more difficult to ignore.

You tickled the back of her knees to help release you from the hold she had and promptly pinned them against her chest. Taking a moment to admire the view - her breasts being flattened against the weight of her legs and her wetness coating her inner thighs - you then kissed and bit at the flavored flesh.

Her twitching pussy demanded the same attention, which you gave willingly. While you drove your tongue deep inside her spasming walls, the way she clamped around you earned her a satisfying moan from you.

The vibrations caused her legs to shake, leading your tongue upwards through her folds. Swirling your tongue around her clit, you rolled your eyes back as you sucked on it. The gentle nibbles you gave it had Nel sobbing your name in pure gratification. With a firm smack against her devoured cunt, you took satisfaction in watching her thighs jiggle from the force.

As her sweet moans grew more shrill, you saw no reason for withholding your own release any longer. With her slick already having lubed her thick thighs, you pushed your cock between them with ease.

Each thrust was testing your self-control. The pressure of your weight when coupled with your balls brushing against her needy clit had her unraveling underneath you. Her cries for you were like a siren’s song—pushing you to your limit.

With her shaking and gasping, you took that as permission to surrender to your own desperation. Forcing her legs open, you leaned over her and coated her breasts with ropes of hot cum.

You both struggled to catch your breath for a few moments. Gazing down at her, your fondness was mirrored back at you. When she gave you a tender smile, you leaned down to kiss her, allowing your arms to wrap around each other. Brushing her bangs off her forehead, you placed another heart-felt kiss before handing her a towel.

HELLO HELLO THEORY NATION, IT IS I, THATCHEESEYCANDLE (Or Cheese/Nixon for short)

And basically I am here to deliver (most likely) some good news me and the bsf Nel have to deliver upon the readers of YIAU:

For context, basically as usual the YIAU ask blog has posted it's daily memes (todays post being this) and as per-usual I reacted normal as ever aka all the oxygen in my lungs nearly exited my body and then something clicked in my mind being a theory

So what did I do? Well I usually pull up a google doc and write it down then end it ther- NO I DID THIS

TELLING A FELLOW THEORIST OF COURSE.

(THE ROOSTER BIT IS A TOPIC FOR ANOTHER POST-)

So then a conversation began from there then I dropped THIS:

THEN NEL DROPPED THIS

So of course I acted as normal as ever (spoiler: I didnt.)

THEN THEN I DROPPED THIS BACK

So then the conversation continued as we expressed our sorrows about the unfortunate events that unravelled (aka we talked about dead- I MEAN SPIRIT CHARACTERS)

BUT OF COURSE THAT WASN'T THE END OF IT NO I COOKED UP THIS

BASICALLY STARTING THE THIRD STAGE OF THEORY CONVERSATIONS: THE THEORIES THEMSELVES

AS USUAL I THOUGHT I'D CONTINUE IT ON BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED AND THINGS GOT A BIT RECAP-PY

(My unfortunate self having memory lose yet again)

AND SO DOWN MEMORY LANE THE BOTH OF US WENT

(insert all the bits and quotes from chapters that support Nel's theory):

AND THEN CONTINUING ON I GATHERED IT ALL UP AND CAME TO THIS

AND THEN YET AGAIN WHILE I WAS RAMBLING ABOUT THAT

NEL COOKED UP A BANGER THEORY AND DROPPED THIS:

Of course THIS IS A GENIUS THEORY AAAGJAHAJFHSH I WAS NOT NORMAL ABOUT THIS TRUTH BE TOLD BUT GOOD GOSH AAAJGKAKJWLSJFFH AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS THAT NEL IS

Now now as theorists we had to check our evidence and so Nel searched around a bit to see if there was enough support for her theory. AND GUESS WHAT:

ANOTHER BANGER HAD BEEN DROPPED AND KAPVHAKSHHFHSHSJSSS OHFKAUAPASJCJCJCBC OHFKAOAOAODHDJDH GOOD GOSH I MAY OF HAD RAN OUT OF SPACE TO SHARE THE LAST SS ONTO HERE BUT AAAOFHQOSJDOJCDJHC

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE JUST MAYBE MERLINS COMING BACK???????? MAYBE THROUGH FLASHBACKS MAYBE THROUGH NEW FORMS MAYBE THROUGH SPIRITUAL MEANS WHO KNOWS AAJGUWJDHJFHFHFHF

BUT IF THIS IS CONFIRMED GOODNGOSH SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME SPACE I GOTTA BACK UP AND BREATH CAUSE THIS IS BIG. A BIG BIG THING. A BIGGER THING. ONE OF OUR BIGGER THEORIES EVER THEORISED

[pistatsia]

i really really want to see barou's reaction to the loss. will he be as accepting as lorenzo? or will he be angry about it? what do you think?

Oh, gosh, I have no idea but I totally want to see it! I think he'd be mad (especially since it's Isagi who defeated him), but I believe that Ubers really taught him a lot. So I think he'd be more respectful than he could have been before NEL start. Plus others in his team are quite sad but chill, and I think Barou is a really good leader for them. So I think he'd be more focused on encouraging them (in Barou rough style haha) than on getting lost in emotions (like Mr. Worst Haircut 2018-?). And I think the whole story with Snuffy and Mick really taught him a lot. Like, not a win in game but a win over himself and in becoming a better professional and human. That would be a really satisfying end for this game because of the whole "Sometimes you are the worse enemy for yourself" narrative (Mick, Snuffy, Barou, Kaiser's loss and Hiori and his self-restraint due to fear of being alone).

Btw I'm more interested in seeing Snuffy's reaction at this haha Barou will surely suffer a lot - Snuffy was mocking him so much with that 'unruly brat' in the last chapters. And scoffed him that Barou will be the one holding responsibility for the loss. He'll surely bully him about that loss till the end of Barou's career and even after 😭 And with Aiku, Aryu, Niko and Lorenzo as well (they definitely won't stand aside) Poor Barou lol

[quodekash]

I HAVE ICE TEA, TIME FOR EPISODE 2 im so scared

iMMEDIATE winnysatang. i love them but i genuinely dont understand why it couldnt be seanmaitee.

im gonna rewatch simm after this and write an essay about why seanmaitee should be together, just in case theres anyone who doesnt believe me

i have so many mixed emotions rn

i love them both so much

and there's no hatred towards them at all because theyre just the actors, not the ones in charge

and i do love winnysatang and i love the chemistry they have with each other

and theyre both so pretty

and bc theyre the same actors they make me think of soundwin and soundwin make me infinitely happy

but theyre not soundwin, theyre sean and nay

and sean is desperately in love with maithee, he has been for the entire series

and, as far as we know, in canon, sean and nay have literally never interacted so why are they suddenly sticking to each others sides??? why isnt sean sticking to maitee's side?? he's always at maitee's side, always has his arm around him, always looking at him. why did his character suddenly have to change once msp came out, just for winnysatang fanservice??

is this neurodivergent backpack-holding i see here?

"i told you to wear warm clothes" "well i wanted you to hug me more" NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, THATS SO STINKING CUTE

bro theyre so in love

theyre so in love

how are they so in love

i love them

wait a sec (lmao win/nay in that screenshot looks great)

dont tell me naysean are gonna share a tent

that doesnt make sense even without considering the ships

sean and maitee are clearly the bestest of friends

even if you were to argue that the constant arms around each other is entirely platonic, it feels a lot like a close-friends-been-close-forever-dont-want-to-let-go-and-lose-you kinda thing, so wouldnt you expect them to share a tent?????

idk man

sean captaincy reigns supreme

dang it

GOSH DARNNIT PART OF ME KINDA LIKES THE NAYSEAN

going from two people who barely know each other because of a mutual friend and then they meet for the first time and theres like immediate attraction and yadda yadda storyline

i still think i prefer seanmaithee tho

hmm

perhaps nayseanmaitee

then everyone's happy

how is he so pretty

and gender

gimme the gender pls

i want it

seriously, the GENDER ON THIS MAN

THE WAY HE DOES THE GENDER

...okay im starting to believe the naysean storyline

but i still want seanmaitheeeeeee

nayseanmaitee is still a strong contender tho

sean, honey, you're not subtle

"i love him even more, every day" kluen, i love you so much. he's so whipped. hes so in love. it makes me the happy

I CANT EXPLAIN IT, BUT KLUEN'S OBNOXIOUS (not in a bad way) AND UNAPOLOGETIC LOVE FOR NUEA IS SO FREAKING SWEET AND WONDERFUL AND INCREDIBLE AND I LOVE HIM SO SO SO SO SO MUCH

"or i might have been with someone new already" "then id be happy for you that you found good love" "that means you must be happy for me now" "why?" "because i found my very good love already" GI3U4EJRBGJKREBDGKHRE

LITLE KISSE

"THERES A SUNFLOWER AND A STAR" I CANT WITH THEM

BROOOOOOO

"what are you talking about" nuea, it was pretty clear. i think he just proposed to you. or like some kind of statement like 'we're absolutely getting married, that's happening'

i think theyve had a conversation about this in the past. idk if it happened in canon (i dont think it did?????) but it feels like theyve had The Marriage Conversation before

same

LITLE KISSE

lift and walk back into their room lmao

captain is disappointed in his crew

"nuea, ive been rooting for you since high school" nay was the one tending at the docks or whatever and then the ship started sailing and the only one on the boat was sean and he was like 'ah shoot i better figure out how to make a ship not sink now'

i think im getting lost in the metaphor

what im tryna say is even tho nay's been there since high school, sean is still the captain

"should we jsut go to their room?" "let's go" GUYS WAIT NO-

THIS IS MAKING ME HAPPIER THAN I CAN POSSIBLY EXPRESS

MY BOYS

[freedomfireflies]

Hey girlypop! Sooo I’m gonna put my ego aside here for a sec… 🫣

My writing has taken a nosedive recently, I published a new little one shot yesterday and it’s flopped, like it’s giving floppiana for real 😅

Just wondered if you could maybe give it a read and pass on any feedback you may have for how I could get better? Would be so cool to get some notes from such a great storyteller!

P.s it could be to do with my writing a named character, meaning people find it hard to relate to – but it’s definitely a creative boundary I have to not use ‘y/n’, just not something I personally like to feature.

Thanks for listening 💗💗 sending you a big virtual hug

Oh my gosh hi Nel!!! Stop you're so cute and SO talented, I'm so sorry you're feeling a bit unsure about your writing!!

I will absolutely reblog it right now and read it in a bit when I have more time!! I know there is a preference here for OC versus reader but I absolutely agree that you should write in the style that you want to! Would you also maybe consider publishing (if you don't already) on websites like Wattpad or Ao3 where people prefer OC a little more?? IF NOT that is totally okay! I just figured everyone deserves to reach such beautiful writing!

I also honestly think Tumblr has been kind of dead this week, so it's definitely not you or your skills!! Maybe we're all in a post Valentine's slump?? HAHAH BUT I'M EXCITED TO READ IT AND SO SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 😭💞💞💞

[faceglitchsworld]

Here's a report of me reacting at Oneus' participation at Gayo Daechukjae and losing my mind while doing it (｡･ω･｡)

Author's note: While writing this I've switched from English to Italian (my native language) here and there. Because I've gone feral and I needed to calm down. Sorry, my dear moots :(

If you want I'll give you a translation in the replies of what I wrote. Or just use Google Translate...

TW: delusional fan over here, don't interact

The red carpet and their outfits: I admit it, I cheated here. I already saw their outfits before the entire show started. And they are so pretty! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o I want to know the stylist who's obsessed with giving a chocker or a necktie to Leedo every time. They're doing the gods' job. Did you see Keonhee and Xion in white?! Men in white are my biggest weak point (❁´◡`❁) Not to mention that pearl necklace on Xion...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH è così bello aiuto, salvatemi.

Can I suggest RBW bring the boys here in Italy during Festival di Sanremo? With these outfits? Oh no, I can't? Oh...ok ╯︿╰ They were so cute during that little red carpet bit but there's a little thing that annoyed me the most: WHO HAD THE AMAZING IDEA TO PUT HWANWOONG AT THE CENTER? BETWEEN SEOHO AND KEONHEE?! Seriously I was laughing hysterically. Did the organizers know that by doing this they made him even shorter than he actually is? Gosh, I hate this, it's my biggest pet peeve. But I rewatched the bit twice so it's a win for them.

The opening sequence: Please, did you see how adorable they were? Just vibing and having fun

Keonhee amorino come devo fare con te, too much adorable for this world,

The Same Scent performance: I...I cried. NOT THEM REARRANGING THE SONG WITH THE TRADITIONAL SOUND! ಥ_ಥ NOT THEM BRINGING BACK THE LUNA (aka the reason why I love them so much) VIBES. Also, long hair Xion, my beloved, my LOML, you're back (but they were exte-I know that random user, just let me vibe and fall in love once again with him)!

Vorrei scrivere un intero discorso su tutta la parte di Keonhee e Seoho o tutto il suo bance break in generale ma massacrerei la tastiera nel farlo, ergo 'sto zitta.

The Sexy Back dance: ah yeah, the elephant in the room. I admit that the first time I watched it, my reaction was just like this

Then I noticed that I'd watched the performance in terrible video quality (thanks Youtube, you're always the best...) and I rewatched again.

And my reaction was:

SOHFSUFHSOUFHSfasiosIFHSDIVHASIUGYSEIDAJPSODKPSFUSEPT

LE SPALLE

LE SCHIENE

MANNAGGIA TUTTO

Then I discovered the fan cams. And I'd decided to watch them. Because of course, I would do that.

Hwanwoong: I've started with the safest one because yes, I need to start with the safest one. Oh well, help me call it "safest", he was flirting the entire time with the camera. BTW thanks again Youtube for the shittiest quality video ever, I needed to watch the fan cam twice. Not complaining though.

Seoho: again, watched the fan cam twice because thank you Youtube...

No sì, ok, se pensavi di toglierti la camicia con nonchalance e andartene ti sbagliavi di grosso frate. Cioè, te fai quella cosa e dovrei stare calma...seeeeeee come no, hai sbagliato persona. TU. NON PUOI. WRECKARMI IN QUESTO MODO!

I need to update the get to know me post now and put him in the bias wrecker list now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Leedo: I've looked myself in the mirror and cried. Of joy. I got pure bless...

EFSKEOIDFJALFJASLKFJALEKGADKFNSKDAKLSFJADLKFAVNAKLVNUU

Slamming the keyboard was the best thing to do, now I'm ok, maybe

And this is it, I'm emotionally devastated and my throat hurts because I've screamed too much. I'll just leave the last message for them before leaving and reblogging content here on this hellsite.

Vi voglio bene ragazzi, sapessi disegnare vi avrei dedicato una galleria d'arte ಥ_ಥ

Side note: today we also got a special video made by Yonghoon. Today was basically a WeUs family Day. I got blessed ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Another side note: I swear, if I discover that Dongmyeong was there I'm gonna lose my mind and becoming emotional ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

Thanks anon, this one just as fun to do as the last! Although for a few of these it was harder to find gifs that matched how I see them dancing XD Hope you enjoy it!

Looking Back: Analysis and Thoughts on Hitsugaya and Hinamori's Recovery

This was all originally going to be part of my headcanon post about how Hitsugaya and Hinamori reconciled after Aizen's defeat(which I will hopefully be posting sometime this weekend), but it became so long and unwieldy that in the end I decided this needed to be a separate post. Here I'll be analysing and giving my thoughts on:

If Hitsugaya and Hinamori reconciled in canon

Why Aizen hated Hitsugaya and Hinamori (looking at what he did to them, who he is, and why I think he treated them the way he did)

Hinamori's injuries and why it took her so long to recover

Hinamori's view of Aizen and how it's changed

Daiguren Hyourinmaru's Completed Form (the result of his training after Aizen's defeat) and how it relates to Hitsugaya's goal of protecting Hinamori

Why am I doing all this analysis in the first place? Well, aside from being for a bit of fun, these were the topics that just came up while I was thinking about how Hitsugaya and Hinamori reconciled. I feel like these all feed into how and when they would reconcile and where their character arcs go from after everything that happened in the Fake Karakura Town arc.

Also, I would like to thank@troius, who's insights have not only made me rethink my view on several characters but also was an inspiration for some of the analysis in this post. I will be mentioning this blog a few times in this post and including insights they have made, but please check out their content if you haven't already; their rereading of BLEACH is so enjoyable to have on the dashboard.

Final note before we get to it: I know I can absolutely go overboard with these kinds of posts, so if you're looking for short and sweet versions my analysis and throughts on the topics I'm covering here, skip to the end for the tl;dr versions.

So, with all of that out of the way, let's get started!

How do we know they’ve reconciled in the first place?

I’ve seen a few fans speculate that maybe Hitsugaya and Hinamori had yet to reconcile by the time the TYBW arc started, mostly based on the fact we don’t see them interacting at all in the last arc. However, the TYBW arc plot being what is was, there really weren't many opportunities for them to interact. With that said, for me there’s proof they have reconciled by then:

13 Blades: coming out in 2015, the databook has sections in the character profiles where a few other Shinigami characters make comments on each other’s profiles. On Hitsugaya’s, Hinamori says her and Hitsugaya have been close friends since they were young and even calls him by his nickname before correcting herself and calling him by his title; as far as I can tell, there’s no past tense used here, so it's not 'we used to be close' or something to that effect. On Hinamori’s, Hitsugaya acknowledges the impact Aizen’s action had on her, but says she’s much better now and asks the interviewer to tell her to refer to him as ‘Captain Hitsugaya’, indicating she still slips up with his name. For me, this means they’re interacting at least, with Hinamori feeling comfortable enough around him that she slips up and calls him by his nickname.

Maybe it's a stretch, but let’s also not forget that in chapter 659 she calls him ‘Shiro-chan’ and shows a great level of concern for him, and in return he gives her a softened look (I know there’s some debate about whether or not he really is looking at her, I must admit on my first reading I didn’t see it that way but on my second read it hit me).

Also, let's not forget she used this nickname during a traumatic moment for both of them, but for me the fact she continues to use it shows it doesn't hold any negative connotations for her.

For me these are indications that they’ve reconciled on some level. They’re interacting with each other, with Hinamori acknowledging they’re close friends and still falling back on old habits regarding how she refers to Hitsugaya. One could argue it might just be out of habit not an indication they've reconciled though, but as she still considers him a close friend, for me it indicates it's probably combination of habit and feeling okay with interacting with him.

It doesn’t indicate to what extent; they might just be good with talking about work-related matters but get uncomfortable when something about what happened in the Fake Karakura Town arises or one of them just can’t get the image of something they did against the other when they’re with them for too long. If this were the case, then it feels realistic. Recovery and reconciliation can take a really long time, and as I’ll be discussing later in the post, Hinamori’s recovery has taken and is still taking a long time, and I imagine on some level it was the same for Hitsugaya.

However, the main point here they have reconciled, and even it's only to a certain extent, it is a step forward to moving on from what they went through.

The Reconciliation of Hitsugaya and Hinamori: Headcanons

Okay, it’s time. I decided to finally sit down and write all the headcanons and ideas I have around how Toshiro and Momo reconciled after Aizen’s defeat. I’ve scattered a lot of these ideas across my fanfics, with some having come up more than once in different or similar forms.

You can read this as either as platonic Hitsuhina or a shipping post, I really don’t mind either way. There’s also some brotp moments here (Momo and Shinji, Rangiku and Toshiro, and a smattering of others).

However, what started as wanting to make a simple list of headcanons quickly turned into a mega post. Firstly, it turns out I had a lot more headcanons then I thought, and I think it's becomes more of an outline of the events that I headcanon took place in between the end of Fake Karakura Town arc and the Full Bringer arc.

And second, while this post is specifically for headcanons and my ideas based on my interpretation of the source material (mainly the manga), I’ve also done some analysis over in this post (I couldn’t help myself!). The analysis was originally going to be part of this post before it got too long. You don't have to go read that post to know what's going on with the headcanons, but if you're interested and have some time, I would appreciate it if you could check it out!

With that said, let’s get to it!

CONTEXT

Before we go into how I think Toshiro and Momo reconciled, we need to cover a few things that will help with context for some of the headcanons and ideas. These will be short and sweet versions of the analysis I've done in the post I mentioned above, so for the full version you can go look at them over there. However, feel free to skip over this section if you feel like you don't need it:

When did Aizen switch places with Momo?: I’ve talked more about this over in this other post, but in short, I came to the conclusion that Aizen switched places with Momo when Soi Fon went to attack him a second time to activate her shikai ability. However, there’s also the possibility he actually switched places after Soi Fon made her second attack, and while she was shocked and confused by her shikai not working, Aizen put Momo in his illusion’s place on the ice for her to create a shadow and get injured by Kyoraku. This bring me to…

Momo’s injuries and recovery time: during the Fake Karakura Town arc, Momo sustained injuries from Ayon, [potentially] Soi Fon, Kyoraku, and Toshiro. According to Death Save the Strawberry, it took her 4 months after Aizen's defeat to recover in the Fourth Division. Her recovery is the longest amongst the BLEACH cast, with most of the characters who were at the fight against the Espada and Aizen having recovered and returned to their daily lives ten days after Aizen's defeat; at that time Momo was still in the Twelfth Division receiving treatment to repair her internal organs.

Despite what some summaries of Death Save the Strawberry say, I suspect what kept her in Fourth Division was not her physical injuries but the mental trauma she went through during Soul Society and the Fake Karakura Town arcs. I also imagine, certain facets of her personality would make her be hard on herself, like the part of her that's a hard worker and is generally organised and responsible. I can see her feeling pressured to recover, and she wonders why she just can't shake off the melancholy consuming her. There is no captain now, she is the only leadership Fifth Division has, but if she's like this, how can she lead her division to prosper again? Who will be their captain now that Aizen is not only gone but not who she thought he was? Is everyone moving on without her? Why cant she catch up to them?

Then exactly four months after Aizen's defeat, in comes Shinji who tells her what she needs to hear. He essentially says ‘You’re not useless, you’re still a good lieutenant and I think you can help the division prosper again. Your friends aren’t leaving you behind, and I’m not going to either, let’s work together.’ The future is suddenly a bit clearer, enough for her to want to return to her duties and forge a way forward to move on with everyone only a few days after speaking with Shinji. he gives her a goal, guidance if you will, and this sets her on the path to recovery. However, let's not forget that in 13 Blades she not only credit Shinji for her recovery, but also Rangiku, who I imagine had visited her often and helped her return to her lieutenant duties.

Why am I doing all of this?: mainly because over the years I’ve been reading/watching BLEACH, this is the one thing that I have never been able to shake off. I have always wanted to know how these two made up after everything they went through.

On one hand, Kubo not showing us allows fans to imagine whatever they like, creating their own scenarios and headcanons about how it happened (or in some cases, if it even happened at all). On the other, it almost feels like something is missing. Of course, BLEACH is not Momo or Toshiro’s story, they’re side characters who ‘compete’ with other characters for panel/screen time in most chapters/episodes; but as someone who loves both of these characters, seeing these two reconcile and move forward from what happened feels like a vital part of their character development. It’s such a shame we didn’t get to see it in canon.

Also, it’s just fun to write this sort of stuff, it’s what being in fandom is all about, right? :D Now, finally, on to the headcanons!

Side note: if you're someone who likes to listen to music while reading, I would recommend listen to this fantastic playlist of BLEACH songs that I listened to while writing this whole post. Otherwise, find something that's either calming, sad, or both to listen to.

Yhelm p8 - readmore for full

It was an especially busy day! It was an especially coffee-hungry day.

See, whenever it rained you could say Drizzle was visiting, because that was the god that was made of rain, it was a fair turn-of-phrase. Sometimes Drizzle actually was visiting, though. Especially here in Flyhhnemonia, where at least two gods lived full-time already, you sometimes had other gods stop in. Was good for business. Lots of people coming around to see who'd show up! But Drizzle, she was on day-3 of her visit. Meadoe knew what she and Flyhh were doing to enjoy one another's company so long but it had been raining the entire time.

But that cool dreary gray weather on an otherwise hot summer week? You know what was a good pick-me-up from that? Coffee. To be fair, Afternoon Sale thought coffee was the solution to nearly everything, which was a luxury of perspective afforded to her by being the unannounced god of coffees. So to be fair, there were three gods living in Flyhhnemonia at all times, and she was one of them, and she was a god of coffee, but she was not a god of customer service, and so she had done the unthinkable and hired on a little victim waitress for the duration of the rains.

Possibly longer. She was coffee colored and flavored and had the right head about her. Afternoon Sale's first Servant, in the prehistoric sense of a subordinate identity of a god formed back before time began. Still needed to be trained though. Still needed to be taught The Secret Arts. Like how to tell from a glance exactly what was going on with every party they were entertaining, how to tell what they all needed to drink (not what they wanted, irrelevant, useless factoids that). How to tell, with a mere look of her expert button eye, ah, how you could read the mood like a rabbit on the walk!

"See that group there," Afternoon Sale whispered down to Nel, "that's trouble."

"Oh!" Nel said, in her smart little voice. "How can you tell, Prim'ent?"

Afternoon Sale crossed her lace-drenched arms and lifted her mouthless face so the light played a smile across its fabric. "You see, Nel, you must always Know with a Glance-like surety why everyone has come in. Mostly everyone here today is looking for an excuse out of the rain. Those four! Look at the strong resemblance between the two freepeople, and how they sit on just one side, together. Note closely how the adversary looks just similar enough to the freepeople, but oh, oh you can see it can't you? Half. Siblings! And what's that? A phanteasel at her side? A stiffness to everyone's posture? This, Nel! This. This is a family reunion. And a rocky one at that. So we'll need to provide the best service possible. If their lives are ruined it's our fault, Nel! Entirely on us! The Rose Knights will come to take us away and by Attic Door I will fight my best but we mustn't let it come to that."

This was a family reunion. Seated as far from the asylum-seeking coffee-drinkers as possible, Yhelm was, for the first time in several years, seeing her younger brother. Family. It was Latti's insistance they do it. She and Yhelm had been meeting on the regular since summer'd started and she'd finally convinced Yhelm it was time to make amends with the family. To rebuild bridges.

So yeah okay. Here Yhelm was. She was in her leather jacket, because she needed to feel some kind of protection between her and everything else around her? And Madrigal was here, wearing very a respectable phanteasel-style mantle-and-skirt combo, patterned and adorned. And across from them, Latti, ever clean and pretty, wearing a heavier dust-blue mantle for the rain this time.

And Bodo.

The youngest sibling. The little brother.

The child Yhelm's parents had brought into the world as a do-over, because Yhelm was the consequence of mom being raped, and gosh, they sure couldn't let their last child be a rape-baby, could they? And an adversary at that. No, no. Better to have another freeperson child. Better to have another baby that was both of theirs. That was like them. Better to invent a reason to ignore Yhelm except also maybe Yhelm could go be super successful to justify her own existence? But we still get to ignore her because we have Bodo now? Both? Yes, both.

Yhelm sighed. They'd been sitting here for less than the count of an entire minute and she was already in a bad mood. That was the problem with families, the problem with family reunions. You could never have them alone. Your parents were always in the room even if they weren't. And their problems, their, massive, heavy palanquin of problems, all three siblings had borne their own corner of the weight and now by their struggles combined a lifetime of context had joined them for coffee and just, Flyhh preserve it had real shitty table manners.

Bodo was the same light color fur as Latti. The same blue eyes. The same fluffy leaf-ears. But he had changed too, in the years since Yhelm had seen him. He was taller now. He was, what? 16? Ten years younger than her? He had been a child last she'd seen him. He was an adult now. He was tall. He was still somewhat pudgy, but in that way dad--the dad that wasn't actually Yhelm's dad, but was Latti and Bodo's dad--in the way their dad wore it respectfully. Bodo had been a little goof. He'd been the baby.

He looked so serious. In a proper suit. A red bowtie. The little nubs of his antlers. The, the absolute displeasure he was looking at Madrigal and Yhelm with.

"So wow!" Latti said chipperly. "Isn't this amazing? The three of us in the same room? Almost four years?"

Bodo spoke, and his voice was so much deeper than Yhelm felt it should be. This was so bizarre. "It could have been less if Yhelm hadn't thrown us out of her life."

Latti grimaced. Yhelm kept her card face. Straight, angular, red eyes narrowed, relaxed. She wasn't sure if Latti had confirmed for Bodo the rumors that she was a professional criminal or not. He’d probably heard. He would probably assume it if he hadn’t. That was fine. She actually was a Guild enforcer. She dealt with actually dangerous people daily. She wasn't going to show a single crack in her armor to a 16 year old brat.

Fuck this was off to a bad start.

♥This is off to a real bad start,♥ Yhelm sent Madrigal across their shared Love connection.

♥Are you joking? No one's even yelling yet. This is going great.♥ Their wordless voice was a comfort.

♥Haha.♥

Afternoon Sale appeared at the table. She arrived like a late train, instantly becoming the center of attention, the center of frustration. She was not a god of customer service but she prided herself an expert at it all the same, even if, especially if, it meant interrupting tense moments and making them about her instead. "Helllooooo! Lattiiii, Yhelmmm, Maddie, so good to see you three again! Drizzle didn't give you too wet of a time out there? And you little mister, you're new! Let! Me guess. Little brother. And by your dress… law… clerk. Am I right? You must tell me!"

Law clerk? What? Afternoon Sale was on the nose almost always but what? Since when was he into Law?

Bodo looked up at the lace-soaked knicknack with the same annoyed face he'd been giving Yhelm and Madrigal. Maybe that was just how his face was now? "I am a junior law clerk of the out-city court Cabdrydal," he said, as if he were correcting her. Law? Since when was Bodo into Law!?

"Well hey isn't that fun!" Afternoon Sale said! "You have a lawizard, an acadamage, and a mathemagician all in the same family! Preeeeetty magical!" She had leaned in over the table, right in the way. Yhelm couldn't see Bodo now. This was the best cafe. "So I think for my usuals it's their usuals, although Yhelm needs hers a tad more bitter than normal, and Latti a tad more sweet, and Maddie, oh, honestly, raspberry in with the honey, what an ailment for you to need such a prescription! But you! My little law clerklet!"

Yhelm couldn't see through Afternoon Sale but Bodo made an annoyed noise. Yhelm could imagine his face, but she'd already forgotten what he looked like as an adult. He was still 12 years old in her head. She couldn't shake it. "It's not clerklet--" he tried.

"A very serious black coffee for a very serious little man, then. Oh, don't worry. I will not tell your sisters, not the oldest you're trying to impress nor the middle child you're here to get angry at, oh! Doctor-patient confidentiality, I will not tell them you want cinnamon and sugar in it because you can't handle the bitter! Which is the same as your sister Yhelm here, who also needs it bitter even though she'd much rather have it sweet. Well! That's settled, I'll be out of your way."

And with that, she was, and Bodo and Yhelm could see one another again. It had worked. Bodo looked like he was more confused and annoyed at Afternoon Sale than at Yhelm now. Yhelm wondered if he understood what the knicknack had said. Yhelm had.

Latti tried to excuse the coffee god. "Afternoon Sale has her own unique way of doing things, but she's always exactly on the mark for her orders! I don't think I've ever heard a single customer want to send a cup back. Oh, she does the most amazing blends. I hear she gets some of her coffee from as far out as the Sclera."

Yhelm needed to say something. Other than her hellos when they had come in she hadn't, she hadn't even said anything yet. She had to at least try, right? "Her coffee is unreasonably good. I didn't even especially like coffee before Latti showed me this place."

"Mmm," Bodo said helpfully.

Madrigal's thoughts vibrated at the edge of Yhelm. ♥I'm going to try to talk to Bodo.♥

♥Okay,♥ she answered. ♥Good luck.♥

"Law clerk, though, that's really good work," they said.

Bodo glared at them. Just, wow, that was a full on glare. That was the kind of look that'd start a bite-fight in less polite company. Yhelm had seen a guy get stabbed for making that face before. "Unfortunately for you, I'm not for sale."

Holy shit. Yhelm leaned forward just a little bit. "What does that mean?" She hadn't meant for her voice to be somewhat growly but here it was anyway.

Bodo gave her the same look. "I'm not stupid, Yhelm. Mother and father aren't stupid, either. We know what you do. We know where your money comes from."

"And where," Yhelm asked, "is that?"

"Crime." Bodo said the word with a grevious weight, as if it was a legal pronouncement that would draw Aiax down from the stars to pass judgement himself. "Maybe Latti can pretend to ignore it because you're ostensibly family, but you and your weasel are criminals. Or did you really think I wouldn't know? Do you really think you're that clever?" There was a mocking, triumphant little giggle to his words. It was a child winning an argument. He was still 12.

"Bodo!" Latti said. Scandalized. "They aren't trying to bribe you! We're family, Flyhh's love we can't be fighting like this!"

Bodo looked sideways, slyly, at Latti, like he was an actor broadcasting his actions so the people in the back could see them. "Is she our sister? Or is she just our half-sister?"

Madrigal pinged again. ♥Hey uh. Does Bodo know why you're an adversary and no one else in the family is?♥

♥I have no clue,♥ she sent back.

"Bodo!" Latti was actually looking fairly pissed off now. At least, Yhelm thought, she was on their side? That was neat? To have family defending her for once? "I honestly did not expect this from you--"

"Why?" Bodo said, and now he was done with the cool act and his ears were folded back and, honestly, he just looked like he was 12. "Do you think I'm stupid?" he laughed. "That only you two can be the smart ones? I figured it out years ago. I figured out why they never want to talk about where Yhelm came from. Go ahead and tell me it was just an affair! You know it, I know it, and I bet damn well she knows it! She's the issue of a crime. How fitting that she turns back to her birthright."

♥Welp,♥ Yhelm and Madrigal simultaneously sent to one another.

Bodo drew himself up all proud and delighted. Latti's face--well that was sure a mixture of devastated and frustrated all at once. She was half-standing up. She sat back down. She looked at the table and not at anyone else at all. She was muttering something Yhelm couldn't hear. Bodo, though, he smiled with just this, this look of supreme victory at Yhelm and Madrigal. Like he'd won. Oh no. Of course.

"Oh no," Yhelm said, and her voice was soft and not a growl now. "Oh no Bodo you're the same. That's what Afternoon Sale meant."

"You and I are nothing--"

"You have to showboat and show me up and humiliate and threaten me so you can justify to mom and dad that you're better than me so they can feel better about themselves. So they can feel like you were worth it. You want to be able to go back to them today and say, you saw Yhelm, and you really let her have it for being a disappointment. With the unspoken coda of, please love and respect me and tell me I deserve to exist. Yeah. No. Sorry, Bo. They're putting you through everything they put me through. It's your turn. They sent you to law school didn't they? That was their idea? Their plan for you?"

Bodo didn't answer verbally. Every individual fur on his body shouted yes though.

♥Good job mom and dad,♥ Yhelm sent to Madrigal. ♥That's two lives they basically fucked up in their mad dash to deal with their trauma.♥

♥This is real shitty,♥ Maddie agreed. ♥I'm also worried he's too young to really get the--♥

"They paid for my law apprenticeship," Bodo said, and Madrigal stopped messaging. He leaned over the table without any kind of proper lawizard dignity. 12 years old. "Do you know what I didn't do? I didn't throw all of it away so I could go waste my life on something," he gestured an angry paw at Madrigal, "trivial!"

Wow.

"Bodo--" Latti started,

and Yhelm finished, "--this is the City of Love. Our princess is literally made of Love, Bodo. Love is one of the twelve original elements that the world grew out of, Bodo. Don't act like you don't know this, I helped you walk the Wall when you were a child, Bodo. Nothing done for Love is trivial. You can talk whatever shit you want about me but you can leave my partner of eleven years out of it. Thanks."

"Honestly," Madrigal said, their voice soft and little, "I think you're just jealous Yhelm got away and is living how she wants."

At that exact moment Afternoon Sale arrived with everyone's drinks. Bodo tried to explode but oh, Afternoon Sale had so very much to say about the quality of her coffee and the specific location of the beans and by the time she was done everyone was quiet again.

Yhelm's was really bitter. Bodo's clearly was, too. He drank it angrily, like getting it all down would show them a thing or two, threw far too much money on the table, dropped out the chair onto his fours, and just like that he was pushing his way out the door and into the rain.

"Well fuck me," Yhelm said quietly.

"I am--so sorry, Yhelm!" Latti apologized superfluously. "I can't believe he would come just for a chance to yell you out."

"Mom and dad aren't great people, huh."

Transformers (vol. 1) #30: The Cure

Read Date: July 12, 2023 Cover Date: July 1987 ● Writer: Bob Budiansky ● Penciler: Don Perlin ● Inker: Ian Akin ◦ Brian Garvey ● Colorist: Nel Yomtov ● Letterer: Janice Chiang ● Editor: Don Daley ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● biiiiig Decepticons ● oh interesting…Ratbat is sending a team of Autobots to, um, euthanize those infected with Scraplets ● poor Bumblebee Goldbug

● oh… my gosh. is this gonna be a Signs thing where water is the secret weapon? ● the Scraplets are kinda cute in a gremlin-y way ● Autobots and Decepticons working together ● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: A group of Autobot juice-boosters known as the Throttlebots are led into a trap laid out by Decepticon fuel auditor Ratbat. Having captured the group, Ratbat then shows them the situation on Earth: While attempting to deliver a special cargo and place device on an appropriate human, the Decepticon Triple Changers have been infected with Scraplets, metal eating robots from outer space. They also report that they have taken the Autobot, Blaster (also infected) as their prisoner. Ratbat then forces the Throttlebots to go to Earth and eliminated all the Transformers that have been infected by the Scraplets by spraying them with acid to ensure an outbreak doesn't return back to Cybertron or foil the Decepticons plans for dominating the Earth. He gives the Throttlebots 10 hours to complete the job or he will destroy the entire Earth.

Meanwhile in Arizona, Goldbug (who has also been infected with Scraplets) and Charlie Fong are running out of time. Goldbug is so weak from the Scraplets that he cannot drive and Charlie pushes him out of the desert to a nearby Blackrock gas station. When the attendants give Charlie some water, he accidentally spills some on Goldbug. To his surprise, the Scraplets exposed to the water suddenly die. Realizing that water is the cure, Charlie attempts to grab the water hose to spray Goldbug, but the attendants -- not knowing what he's doing -- attempt to stop him because there is a water shortage.

While at the crater, the Space Bridge returns and the Throttlebots cross over and are preparing to hose down the area with acid when they notice that there are tire tracks leading out of the crater and into the desert. Rollbar orders the other Throttlebots not to act until he gets back and leaves with Wide Load to find the Transformer who escaped. They track Goldbug to the gas station where they attempt to spray him with the acid, however, Charlie purposely infects Wide Load with the Scraplets to show him that he's found the cure. Convinced, the allow Charlie to hose down Goldbug curing him of the Scraplets. Goldbug then places in a call to G.B. Blackrock calling in a favor and gets him to ship in two tanker trucks full of water to the crater area.

Returning to the carter, Goldbug tells Blaster that they found the cure, however in curing Blaster they would also cure the Decepticon Triple Changers. Blaster orders Goldbug to use the acid instead, however while they are arguing thousands of Scraplets merge together into a gigantic form and attack the Throttlebots. Overpowered, Goldbug has no choice but to cure all the infected in the crater in order to save the Throttlebots from the giant mass of Scraplets. Within moments, the Decepticon Triple Changers brutally cripple the giant Scraplet mass giving Blaster a moment to toss a barrel of acid on it destroying it for good.

While everyone is distracted, Astrotrain fires the device he brought with him to Cybertron unseen onto the forehead of G.B. Blackrock. Blackrock is suddenly bombarded by a hypnotic flash of light however, this goes unnoticed. In the aftermath of everything, the three Decepticons manage to escape with the whatever cargo was in the alien ship. Despite this setback, Blaster and Goldbug reconcile with each other and Blaster is glad that Goldbug ran off and found the cure and knows that his partner is not a coward.

fayt's just so wishy-washy. "oh i can't help bc of the up3", "i'll help you bc i don't want to die", "actually, no, i don't want to help contribute to even more death", it just.

honestly, good for nel for blackmailing and coercing fayt and cliff. tbh, cliff's a lil more amoral, he's willing to lie and leave the hypocrisy alone, he's not actually got scruples the same way fayt does. nel is a spy, and wants to end the war and minimize death, but there will be death regardless. this is her planet, and she will do her duty.

but fayt and his idealism. it's just headache inducing. wants it both ways, and then fails to commit to either, so he just comes across as spoilt.

fayt will nearly faint bc of a "headache", and when nel and cliff are worried about him (bc they did just escape from an ice cold prison), he lashes out at them and be like stop treating me like a baby. just. ffffffffffuck off. they were right to be worried and care about you, they don't need you acting out at the thought of being babied.

like i'm not going to say edge maverick in so4 was perfect either. he was idealistic as hell too. but when he asks the clearly very evil lady "hey if i give you the information you want, will you use it for good and the betterment of mankind", and she replies "well from my perspective, i am doing good, so yes?" and she instantly tries to blow up the planet

like i know that was v. obvious a bad decision and edge was being too naive, however!!!! didn't feel quite so judgmental and tiresome, bc it actually suited edge's character. and he did beat himself up about this afterwards.

but so3, is just. oh christ, nothing is good enough for fayt leingod. doesn't want to help bc that means breaking the up3. doesn't like nel doing her fucking job as a spy, or the fact that farleen and tyrese are willing to sacrifice themselves for their country. oh but does fayt have a solution for this? no!!!! he'll just complain and act outraged bc how dare anyone do anything, fayt is here to shut people down.

at what point does he actually become likeable? gosh, i wish i knew. i know it happens at some point, but thus far it's just... resisting the urge to throttle him.

thank god for cliff, and nel tbh.

I'm crying while taking a stroll at night because I just found out the Hans Zimmer concert I was supposed to go to next week has been rescheduled, but there's no new date yet.

Thing is, the show in Milan is confirmed, so I am thoroughly confused as to why the one in Bologna is not. Typical Italian mess, I guess.

Gosh, I know there are people in the world who have it worse, and I kind of feel a little pathetic being so upset, but I've been waiting for this concert for two years.

I've missed traveling so much, you have no idea how excited I am.

My Redbubble order came in and I couldn't be happier.

I'm so in love with @enstatia 's art, each portrait is beautiful and I'm sure I'll be buying more.

As you surely noticed, I've read all your modern au Adoribull and gosh, I'm in love. First of all, huge compliments for drawing such a big project, I'm impressed. Also, you connected all the events perfectly, without plot holes or something and I find it brilliant. I loved the story and the drawings, I just wanted to show my appreciation (I fear I'm not able to do more than that) for your work. Have a nice day 🙈💕

P.S.: ho letto nella bio che sei italianə ma mi vergognavo a scrivere tutto in italiano quindi lo scrivo solo nel post scriptum lol

I noticed! And it makes me so happy holy cow ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for reading, e non c'è nessun motivo di vergognarsi :P ❤️
