how could you possibly not instantly adore fifteen? when he is ncuti gatwa especially??? he is gorgeous and darling and marvelous and fresh and i've had him for like fifteen minutes and he already feels so much more even. he left a lot of the jagged edges in fourteen/ten, who desperately Needs to actively smooth them out, and as a result he gets to be... more wisely, knowingly empathetic, i think. steadier and readier to move forward by true choice.
he's seen shit and felt it and lost it and he's changed and changed and changed and left all and none of it behind and now it's just... he's embraced it. fifteen feels like a doctor who has looked himself frankly in the mirror and accepted the whole thing with a firm and resolute nod with a followup of a vivid, excited grin. at last a doctor not running running running forever away, but striding and sprinting and strolling toward.
and perhaps he could do it only because the last him finally made the bargain of stop and stay. he's the catalyst and the healing all in one. they both are. the mutual point from which they diverge in dually needed directions.
i haven't watched doctor who in years and years, frankly, but for him? i'm so delighted to see where he goes and the revived, more solid joy he goes there with.

One thing I fucking love about komahina that I don’t see talked about a lot is that both Nagito and Hajime are basically both completely different and yet the same person. Like yes, on the surface Nagito is this depressed, batshit crazy person and Hajime is just some guy. But when you get down into their characters, both of them are two individuals who are both depressed and really fucking lonely and feel inferior to everyone around them. Both of them admire ultimates so much and feel so inadequate by comparison to them, Nagito to the point he’s willing to die for them and Hajime to the point of giving up his entire being just to be one of them. And they’re both two people who, despite deeply hating themselves, just have to have faith that things will get better. I honestly think the reason Nagito is so hostile to Hajime after finding out he’s a reserve course student is because Hajime just reminds him of the parts of himself he hates.
I just think there’s something so genuinely moving and beautiful about these two characters who deeply hate themselves learning to love each other and in the process learning to hate themselves a little less. They both feel so lonely and yet, against all odds, they find that the last person they ever expected to get it, understands completely how they feel.

Lot of monster/supernatural creature x female reading w/breeding k^nk on my feed.
But hear me out.
How about monster/supernatural creature wanting to breed/rut a character/reader who does not have the ability to be bred but creature still goes feral enough to think they could?
Like desperate enough to make it feel like it could happen with both of them but none of the actual... yanno- yea? LOL
or hey, even vice versa of monster not having the ability but still wanting to. could be fun?

How did you decide what species Kip and Twig were going to be? Did you play the game as a Charmander or a Mudkip, or did you decide some other way?
So, fun fact about Twig: she's a reinterpretation of my first ever PMD2 Hero OC, Kitsune! (I pronounced her name as “Kit-soon” as a child, you can burn me at the stake for my idiocy)
Kitsune was, as you might notice, a skitty and not a charmander. Her partner, Deu (pronounced “Day-oo”), however, was a mudkip. I originally thought about keeping them both their initial species, but Kitsune was so vastly different from her first iteration that it felt strange to keep her as a pink kitten, even if it killed me a little to change her.
To come up with a new species, I decided to take the PMD2 personality quiz and answer as if I was Twig. My result was a brave female charmander. I was tempted to fudge my results a bit and go with a hardy female treecko, but I felt a bit guilty doing so— and besides, I never could understand how to draw a treecko’s tail and make it look nice. When I realized the fun contrasting parallel that could be drawn if Grovyle, local grass lizard, had his partner turn into a fire lizard, I knew I had to stick with the quiz result.
(Twig’s tail flame was originally rendered to look like a maple leaf in autumn as an additional nod to her connection with Grovyle, though this was later changed in favor of more expressive fire shapes.)
Kip, meanwhile, is a mudkip because Deu corrupted me into thinking a mudkip partner is the perfect partner in PMD2. His talk sprites made him look like a Muppet sometimes, which I adored, and I feel like their art really captured the enthusiastic-but-anxious partner personality. I love PMD2 mudkip partner so much and I can't see that poor baby being anything else.
Golly, I rambled for a while there. TL;DR— I played the games as a skitty with a mudkip partner the first time. The partner stayed the same species, but I took the pmd2 personality quiz as if I was Twig and received a charmander assignment as a result.
... Okay, one last bonus piece of prehistoric Twig lore: her name is a reference to a stick Kitsune would beat people up with.
