[cheriafreya]

Jane Doe banner results... it took more than 100 pulls (I literally lost count) but I got her !!

[starguardianniom]

Greetings fellow Billy Enjoyer~ I wanted to say that I love your long essays collecting the little bits and pieces of information we got on our Billy bOi :D

Majority of my friends play HSR or Genshin and my friends who do play ZZZ are usually guys who are more after the ladies (and Lycaon but I'm not surprised XD) so I don't usually get the chance to fan girl about my bOi Billy 😭

We are being fed literal CRUMBS about Billy and while I'm glad, I am starving 😭, though I am of the belief that Billy is much MUCH more important than what we are currently led to believe atm, which is why they are giving us crumbs and the occasional nugget of information as of the moment.

I hope to see more of your essays, as I also pray for more Billy fanfics XD

WHY THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! T_T <3 <3 <3

Well as a woman who is a lesbian but is bi toward fictional men (XD) I am of course in love with Billy. He single-handedly ended my previous obsession with Baldur's Gate 3 and I seriously have played non stop since august with ZZZ, though that now I have used everything for pulls I am left starving for trying to maybe get Caesar, and I hope to be so freaking lucky for when Miyabi will come.

Rest assured I will continue fangirling about Billy and will make it everyone else's problem on this site. XD

Honestly I find Lycaon just ok, like sorry but after meeting Billy like Lycaon seems to just not look as alive as Billy because Billy is so dynamic as a character that some just don't feel to have the same energy as him, and the guy is a robot yet he feels more human and alive than some people I know. Extra ironic about Lycaon I don't have him but I got his W-engine yesterday when trying to get Caesar so I'm like "but I don't even have you what the ehll do you want me to do with your w-engine???"

Yeah we are fed, also found more background on him while doing a commission in the Outer Ring yesterday, I'll post that later today once I'm back from work. ^^ I mean dude is a freaking android made of lost technology and it seems nobody cares, or well the ones that do are people looking to dismantle him or sell him or use him as a weapon.

I am still legit miffed that he doesn't have an Agent Story yet, maybe one day all agents will have one, hopefully, maybe.

Currently I am running after Caesar because she just casually drops info on Billy that I need so bad and either my character doesn't press further or seems to want to diss him and I'm banging my head on my wall to make the game stop insulting my boy. I legit wish now that I played as Wise instead of Belle a bit but on PS5 I tried everything and I can't switch to Wise when walking around, dunno if that comes later with the last part of Cheesetopia or if it's gonna be with Burnice.

Oh worry not essays and headcanons are coming, just that they take over an hour to write. XD But I don't have school or homework, just work because I'm 30 years old and said work doesn't requires me to bring anything work related back at home at all so I can just unwind and write my ramblings and observations and just me fangirling. XD

Now I'm currently trying to get everyone leveled up to level 60, and so far Billy is the most leveled up at level 47 because I legit used all the things I had to level up Jane, Seth, Lucy and Piper, my dude Anton is only at level 20 and I don't need Koleda so she's staying at level 1 (legit miffed to have gotten her instead of Nekomata I wanted the entire Cunning Hares faction dammit!)

Did some other pulls yesterday, gave me 1 Piper and 1 Anby. So currently I have Billy M2, Seth M2, Anton M2, Anby M5, Nicole M1, Ben M0, Jane M0, Lucy M1, Piper M1, Corin M4, Soukaku M6. I also got Piper's engine twice.

Also bought Amillion because I kind of legit did pretty much everything with Billy, Nicole and Anby so. XD

I also have tons of headcanons about Billy... that keep changing each time we get new info on him because it pretty much destroys what I mentally pictured so I have to adjust and I'm even more motivated after that. XD

Feel free to come chatting more about Billy. Love Billy squad unite. I'll answer once I'm home and can finally get in front of my computer.

It's my favorite story now you're dumbass family tried to get rid of monkey cock and tried to make all these black men gods by taking down every one of their NFL stadiums and each one of these cities you know a residency of a 5,000 saladmakers or 4,000 saladmakers and these small neighborhoods that's all it can hold it is the stupidest thing to get rid of your football stadiums...

Okay so I have a few round ideas and their themes.

Alexis 'Dolly' Loveheart (Jamaerica I like to headcannon Dolly lives in a world like The Ace Attorney games and I'm sure that's how the game describes the area the games take place in.) VS Hera

The mortal mother with 20+ children and the 'Queen of Magic' (main Magic authority in my verse.) VS the wife of zues and queen of the gods. The mother who took any child in and got her reputation as a mother to all while being a baddass VS the queen who's well known for unjustly punishing the mortals taken advantage of by Zues and the children of the affairs. (Seriously Hera SMITE HIS ASS) ones a great mother ones pretty crap.

*after their intros.*

Hera:ugh...how unsightly..I actually pity your children they have to have a ugly marionette doll as a mother.

Dolly:*whos wearing her old workout uniform* (Purple yoga pants a pink shirt crop top and some workout sneakers her devine weapon is pretty much fingerless boxing gloves mixed with spiked brass knuckles.) *after winking to her husband who turns into a tomato* better to look like a doll then to throw your son off a mountain.

Hera:*readying her staff* curb your tounge!

Dolly:37 children and I don't recall you caring for any of them.

Hera:I have 2.

Dolly:oh wow just erase Hephaestus huh? Well you are bad at this. You seemingly play favorites with the gods. You join in mock Ares. You don't watch any other of the kids zues had now I know it sucks to be cheated on. I have 3 exs after all. But..last I check Zues is a shit father. And you..could of at least watch the kids. I mean you are the Goddess of family. And you ditched one son humiliate another I haven't even seen your daughter in YEARS and you've tried to kill every other damn child! And let's not forget one tiny detail.

Hera:*swings her staff* I will not take advice from you!

Dolly:*punches her in the face.* ZUES IS YOUR BROTHER!

(Round one.)

[madebyevaelisaa]

I filled 12 prompts of my @merlinbingo card and didn’t get any bingo ^^’ I have WIPs for about 8 of the unfilled prompts, so I hope I can carry all of those (and maybe some more as well) over to the next round *fingers crossed*

Here’s the list of the ones I did fill:

M3: Action/Adventure - [ART] Morgana with a rainbow cloak for Pride Month

M4: Dating - [FIC] Love During Knighthood - Teen and Up - Merlin/Arthur

It’s Merlin’s first banquet since he became a knight, and even though it’s the celebration of Lancelot’s and Gwen’s marriage, a lot of lords are trying to get Arthur to dance with their daughters. Merlin does not know how he should feel about that...

M5: Rescue mission - [FIC] The Road to Knighthood - Teen and Up- Merlin/Arthur

Merlin is about to get knighted when Lancelot barges into the antechamber where Merlin is getting ready with the news that Guinevere got kidnapped.

A5: Friends to lovers - [FIC] I See What  You See - Mature - Merlin/Arthur, Gwaine/Merlin, Gwaine/Arthur, Gwaine/Merlin/Arthur

Arthur doesn’t like his soulmate. He doesn’t like them at all. Every single time he sees flashes of what his soulmate is seeing at that moment, the person seems to be either getting naked, is already naked and/or is doing stuff to another human being Arthur couldn’t have even imagined in his wildest dreams. Well, either that, or they seem to be drinking mead, in a different tavern each time as well even.

G2: Lost in the woods - [FIC] Lost in the Woods - General - Merlin/Arthur

Merlin and Arthur are running away together, looking for a new life, but then Arthur doesn’t know where they are anymore.

G5: Falsely accused - [FIC] Did you eat the almonds again? - General - Gen

“Merlin, did you eat all the almonds again?” “What? No!” Merlin walks out of the pantry, a bag of flour in his arms, to see Gwen frantically searching everywhere for the almonds she needs for her recipe.

I3: Gwaine - [FIC] Knighthood Means Jousting (Among Other Things) - Teen and Up - Merlin/Arthur

Gwaine finds that Merlin looks incredibly sexy now that he’s a knight – all that training has definitely buffed him up. Gwaine would love to see everything from up close for once, so he tries to convince Merlin to have a tumble in the hay. Only, Merlin doesn’t seem eager to join Gwaine. Why is that?

I4: TV show/movie/book AU - [ART] Little Merman Arthur

C1: Good advice - [FIC] Duty Beyond Knighthood - Explicit - Merlin/Arthur

It’s the first evening where Merlin is a knight, but because of a deal he made with Arthur, Merlin is still the one who has to help the king get ready for bed.

C3: Sharing clothes - [FIC] Suit Up - Teen and Up - Merlin/Arthur

Merlin is joining Arthur to a Pendragon corporate event for the first time, but he doesn’t own a suit, so Arthur makes him wear one of his.

C4: Angst - [FIC] The Issue of Knighthood - Teen and Up - Merlin/Arthur

Arthur offers Merlin knighthood (he has his reasons), but Merlin declines (he also has his reasons).

C5: Culture shock - [FIC] Suits You Perfectly - Explicit - Merlin/Arthur

Morgana decides Merlin needs a tailored suit. When Arthur sees him, he just wants to get Merlin out of the suit again.

[winebleeds]

sample scenarios & plots based on common themes & tropes i’ve seen on tumblr. may help with interactions & ease into plotting, though each of the muses have their own verses found in their main bio pages that can be found in the navi link on the pinned post (raleigh’s, liz’s, and jamie’s verses are completed, but i am still working on maddie’s, so you can pm me for that). i’ve numbered these where you may reply with said number for this post, if interested, or mention them in the other verses comment in the interest tracker. I am putting this under a read more since it’s long & i may updated this occasionally when ideas comes to mind. you can also message on discord, with that on the pinned post as well. 💖

GENERAL

G1.    🌌space🌌 in our favorite rocketship  G2.    but especially relating to kohalto, a lore that i can go more in depth with private chats without having the entirely of the lore written out yet. kohalto can also be a dystopian society that’s located on earth. G3.    raleigh, liz, & jamie being part of the same crime syndicate instead of doing their own small scale crimes, either base on your muses lore or one plotted out. they could also be part of a rival syndicate from your muse or the three person crew is getting in the way of your muses crimes.   G4:    more on ellesmere, which can be from your muse riding on the ellesmere trail or the first time on the property. honestly this is more of a setting piece. G5:    speaking of the ellesmere setting, a regency / victorian era plot where ellesmere is in england. could be br*dergton or a*sten based. or just any historical plot with the spencers being equestrians. really just anything in historical periods, from the 80s or ancient. G6.    of course the ever so cliché of  your muse is friends, rivals, or acquainted with raleigh/jamie/liz/maddie & your muse meets jamie/liz/raleigh & either has a fling, relationship, or one sided crush on jamie/raleigh/liz. because liking a friend’s sibling is spicy apparently. G7.    an au where the four spencers work at a restaurant or café. this can be flexible in terms of being in competition with your muse’s place or your muse being a customer / working with them (either with your muse as the owner or working under the spencer business). for the positions themselves, raleigh & liz would be the co-owners/manager as they split tasks (raleigh with employees while liz with accounting, ie), though liz could also serve as a bartender, then jamie as a chef/barista, and maddie as a hostess/server/barista.

 RALEIGH

R1.    most likely to be a teacher, either with primary, secondary, or uni. probably teaches biology or any science related field. R2.    most likely to pay for your muse coffee or drink at a cafe. or just paying it forward in general. also the most likely to venture into cafes getting his tea or going into a library / bookstore to get a new book. R3.    he likes exploring different areas and, while not believing in any supernatural, would be the most likely to investigate with your muse in haunted places or supernatural things, if only for his curiosity or looking at that nice ivy. outside of supernatural, he’ll just venture in nature. R4.    ANYTHING WITH HIS DOGS. R5.    if he does anything pertaining in the celebrity world, he would be a director or writer. and he would hate the limelight & he just wants to be creative. R6.    most likely to be the oblivious one that won’t realize there’s a relationship. so ig slow burn. and anything awkward or friends to lovers. but also most likely to talk to any ex’s again, for anything romantic. R7.    someone to talk nerdy to him. or influencing his chaotic side & doing dumb things together.  for more platonic or general relationships.  R8.    would offer his space if someone needs somewhere to live or stich up close. he’s a gentle mom friend when someone gets close enough to him. can be supportive of younger muses.

ELIZABETH

E1.    most likely to be a lawyer or politician aide. any position that her father would prefer her to have over an engineering. E2.    most likely to be part of your muses’ own business if she’s shooting for a higher position within it, like cfo or ceo or just the executive board. mainly for fashion design but anything in general. E3.    for any of her older verses, then she could be a CEO, politician (senate), or a professor for a uni with engineering. E4.    for her becoming a celebrity, then a musician similar to... yeah. so country to indie pop & has a reputation similar to her modern. maddie probably writes the lyrics for liz though. i just can’t see liz getting into acting rip, though she could produce. E5.    horses. neigh. that’s all. but even an au where she runs ellesmere or has a horse pasture herself... with her own winery. E6.    mostly likely for slow burns & rivals / enemies to lovers, for anything romantic. also the most likely to have one night stands or just ghost your muse. E7.    most likely to have wine nights with your muse. or being someone that, while blunt, your muse ends up talking to because liz listens. or your muse just sees through liz’s icey bs & befriends her.  E8.    also the most likely to “adopt” or being extra supportive your muse if they need a home, physically or emotionally. or just needs someone to remind them to finish that resume & proofread papers. the most stern mom friend, but a caring mom friend nevertheless. 

JAMIE

J0. his name is benjamin james spencer, & his nickname was benny but now is ben (because i love you charlie) J1.    most likely to go into acting once his football career vanished.  J2.    most likely to be a firefight too, especially if his cousin nick had more inspiration with jamie. J3.    most likely to fight your muse if your muse is confrontational & filled with testosterone. so someone fight his ass. OH, could even be a boxing au if jamie is like, forgetting about his own physical health. but this easily fits in modern if you muse ever ticks jamie off. J4.    so jamie is actually the biggest animal out of the four, so him going to animal shelters or horses or dealing with his cat or your muses’ pets. would definitely get his softer side here. could even be him running ellesmere. J5.    BODYGUARD AU. J6.    also the most likely to fall into the fake dating trope. can have one night stands as well, but doesn’t like them as much anymore. J7.    your muse being someone that jamie felt he wronged in his younger years, such as being a jerk in college or having puked on your muse then blaming them for it, you know, his darker period. and, now, he’s reconnecting in order to apologize about the things he’s done wrong. could go swell or angsty. J8:    most likely to be the one your muse has to “adopt” or support whenever he does dumb things. someone tell him not to get into fights. so having a paternal / older sibling figure.

MADDIE

M1.    her being a known bassist / rock star with her band & has that celebrity status within the alternative / rock / metal genres. but she could also be part of your muse’s band or genre sphere. M2.    most likely to be in college with your muse, where maddie lives in a dorm instead with liz or have classes together... though likely to skip those classes. M3.    most likely to be a tattoo artist or running a flowershop. M4.    is the one that likes being around artists, being an artist herself.  M5.    mostly likely be a waitress or bartend, practically when she doesn’t go to college. M6.    being part of her cousin’s motorcycle gang. M7.    most likely be to accept your muse as an older platonic figure or even like a sibling to her. someone to guide her in life as she grows into her own.

[punkbakugo]

I have felt that quite a number of the climaxes in this arc have been abrupt and swift wrap ups, so Horikoshi is a dab hand at building up tension and expectations and then bringing reasonable and optimistic/nice resolutions- which when overused gets tedius. All the matches except 4, did the same thing with A on the ropes and then turning it around for a win, a last second loss or a tie but the preultimate chapter to the conclusions all had good cliff hanger pages. M1 we expected Vine to do 1/?

-to do more than she did. M2 set up Momo to do something spectular and although she did it was brief and familiar just more advance and required some thinking over how she’s hugely improved. M3 teased Todoroki but it ended up being Iida doing much of interest. The only match that was not a rise and fall was M4 but people still complained about Tokage being hyped only to be easily beaten (but that’s the price of not developing 1B until now). The tonal shift in M5 takes the biscuit being 2/?-

-more serious and Deku going through real distress. It might be Horikoshi keeping it “child friendly” and compared to a lot of other shounen which usually by now have jumped into darker territory BNHA seems to still tread shallow waters after the scare of the Overhaul arc with climaxes being soft, well meaning and nice, from Aoyama to Gentle, 1B and now knock off Hell Boy. Heck even Endeavour not losing his eye and Dabi maybe even having some remourse made a less consequential end than 3/?-

-what could have been. After All Might’s last stand and Bakugou’s break down, then the mess of the Overhaul arc there has been a big back pedal in tone with more neat wrap ups but it’s already crossed the line. It could be the calm before the storm and all the near misses is like the waves coming to shore and then receeding before the more powerful storms comes crashing through. The absence of the villains besides cameo appearances is very noteable compared to how active they were before 4/?-

-The lack of villains besides snippets makes me think the change is creating a sense of “something big is coming” and these almost “it all works out in the end” kind of resolutions are to provide a bigger contrast when it all falls apart rather than getting dire and miserable too fast and tiring out those emotions too soon. Horikoshi has a way of bringing up ideas and potential directions then swerving only to come back to them much later, Bakugou almost broke down after his first match with 5/?

-Deku, was startled out of it by All Might and well you know the rest where the dam finally broke over 100 chapters later. It could be that Deku’s still fragmenting to get to such a low point. Although compared to Bakugou, Deku has a much more elaborate support system especially if the vestiges help him then he has internal confididants, when he was pushing people away, people help him and he responds positively to the aid so Deku could be written to demonstrate the value of a good support 6/?

-support system to contrast with the consequences of thinking Bakugou could handle everything on his own. That does fit the repeated message of “you are not alone” . I like the idea of Bakugou getting to do for Deku as Deku did for him, and Deku may still need that (especially if All Might dies/ends up in a unresponsive condition and he goes to Bakugou because both boys know the weight this means to Deku and All Might was equally important to them). However ther may be value in not repeating 7/?

things too similiarly to show parallel symbolism. I did like how Horikoshi demonstarted how Bakugou taking on the idea of ‘save to win’, it was not like how fans were expecting it, it did not involve a child or other grander sentiments but by incoporating the development of him trusting others and relying on them in a commanding and “I expect you know what your doing” way that imo was so much better than most fan ideas as his character was intact but I still worry Horikoshi may be avoiding 8/?

-getting too dark after his experiences writing the overhaul arc since he wants the series to be Optimistic. It may be noticeable I have lost my thread. I am uncertain if Horikoshi is working on something and using writing techniques to create the effect (repeated cycles of tension and breaking it to lull into security so that it’s much more alarming when that cycle breaks and he commits) or if this style is coming from him figuring out how and what to write after the Overhaul arc. What gives 9/

-give me hope is that the villains are still pretty dark (their chapter dis-arming Overhaul was unapologetically ruthless) and Hawks situation is still pretty grim. I am rambling now so shall end it here- thank you for follwoing this up and I hope you have a happy New Year and a better 2019. Take care to you and your cats.

i think the cultural festival arc was a good palate cleanser for the overhaul arc, it didn’t need to have big sweeping consequences as it was more or less a filler arc to settle things down and set the scene for later. i think the endeavor arc did what it needed to do, i don’t think he needed to lose an eye, just get the scar for Symbolism. i think the tone was consistent, the tension was never straight up derailed, it did its job to show how things are going with the todoroki family, set up the stuff with hawks, and i think the stuff with dabi was more or less meant to point toward dabi is a todoroki theory considering his emotional preoccupation with endeavor.

when it comes to this arc, there are two parts to it: the matches to show off how the characters have grown and the underlying plot thread with ofa. these matches are also much more isolated rather than plot heavy (outside of 4 & 5) which is why i wouldn’t consider anything within them too climactic. i think if anything with the matches fell short, it wasn’t intentional bait & switches but rather the fact that juggling this big of an ensemble cast isn’t horikoshi’s strong suit.

with deku’s match however, like you said, the fact that deku was in genuine distress with legitimate plot relevant tension made everything working out with ochako’s plan & shinsou’s brainwashing and then the hellboy lookalike yelling at deku for a gag feel jarring and tonally inconsistent. i don’t like complaining about the direction the plot is going based on one (1) chapter because it could be going somewhere completely different, i don’t know, but i can’t help but not be thrilled by this. 

and when it comes to deku’s emotional conflicts i’d relate them less to bakugou and more to iida (especially with iida straight up parroting what deku said to him during the stain arc back at him & constantly worrying about his emotional state) and like. idk, i understand where you’re coming from and i wouldn’t be surprised if the whole “you’re not alone” thing relates to deku’s issue with actually following up on his friends’ offers to rely on them but because of the fact that this has been something built up for so long & pointed out by multiple people, the idea of the thing that finally gets through to deku being the vestiges, a concept which was introduced this arc (i know they were technically introduced during the sports festival but the concept of them being people that can actively talk to deku is very recent) i.e. his simmering internal struggle being resolved by sudden supernatural intervention, is not going to feel like a satisfying resolution to me compared to other character’s similar struggles.

maybe i’m overreacting, we’ll have to see how this works out. like you said, horikoshi could be doing a number of things and i don’t really see him straight up avoiding darker themes altogether so maybe i’ll get the deku struggle i desire at a later point, i just thought it felt like the perfect set up for it here.

Steam Brain, Breaking Beast Of Peace

Tool

The tool?

A tool?

Surely not a tool on a spool?

I’ll tell you what I said

I wanted to remain on the spool no matter what happened because it was still in the beginnings when I had purely hated it. Made to give up free will? Already trying to do right even when consumed by sin? Why would people teach this? Being humane? It’s so

Oh I cringed already. I died in the bathtub, and I was not resurrected. Like a spider all of my limbs twinged. And the universe screamed that no thing wished to be treated a thing

Why I said

Why is this happening I cried, as I-

I am thinking in rainbows and I am bleeding

I hear the pinball game sounds when I wake up, and when I go to bed. I feel pent up in my head. Like a bomb ready to explode. I have to go. There’s a tumor and a coil underneath me. It wasn’t a simulation. There’s no stopping this pain.

Speaking of the best part

You usually block it out so you don’t know it

And speaking of spare parts could I go in for a tune up on the engine

I visit my old coder

He updates my system from the future

You know the hip hap

I say

How could we get this baby cruising for high altitude

Deliver this to the hospital he told them handing over a file,

For the numbers had played a game that no man wanted to play

It were the Jenga files

This is for everyone I say

But not really

They will get lost I say

This was not my intention

No I did not grow ravine maze that seems to consume men whole

thought very long and hard about each member of my imaginary party

They had suffered far greater than any individuals I’d met in accordance with their own units

I was not sure how to represent this

erased everything

Eliminated time

Became nothing

Became no one

Wasn’t when you were

Imagining numbers forming like strands of DNA at a molecular level, just thinking about how the very fabric of the cosmos are one in the same on a grand and micro scale as per usual

Wondering if our universe is but a number to the molecules comprising the larger body of existence

Too many numbers pressed and my head is hurting

The holes are boring into my skull and I am wondering what you want from me

Why you would do this

Please I am begging you I say

Number 3 handles system over ride

He does not care if he sounds stupid he lives in the present

>sortsnow

It was the numbers time.

I called them to the times table.

“We aren’t doing multiplications today ... we are doing additions. I say seriously. Not that I know what that means,” I wink.

M3 and M5 raise their hands like always.

M2 thinks that this actually has to do with mathematics.

Dial a number on your phone and shout it to me

#insane

4444 they put in phone before someone types 3,2,1,

Someone should erase this she said

But someone did not erase it

She looked back at why

Someone had a panic attack when we tried to erase these files

She looked back

Her

The computer

I pointed

My natural born enemy

We now wrastled

Censored bit

Some things they are saying are really hurtful or nasty

And I am not sure if this is my thought but we do keep in mind the need for more tattoos inherently

For a healthy tigerlily press three

Fssshh

I remember analogies

Yin and yang swirling

Before they mesh and open

7 the phone clicks

I am fucking ecstatic

You wonder if I am little and how long I could do this before I died

You are sorry for beating the crap out of me

It is a story that helped

I lean back on the balance

Who was this person

And why did they think this was a game

What were #'s

#8 shhh

I say drunkenly

I am drunk

I say

There is a spell

I say

I do the symbol

I have done this forever

Look

Infinity infinity infinity infinity

I have said it four times so that there are two of two and it is four forever forever

I said it first

I planned to win before you said

M10

whisper Oh softly

Oh O Oh

I looked at you with ones and I perhaps speak in zeros but I haven’t gotten the chance to play with 0 in long time

0 crying softly to 1

1 picks this time to shine for 0

they eternally loop around each other

1 becomes 0 as it bends into a horizontal 8

M11

I try to tell you but I dont think you could understand

I look at M1 who is a little concussed

He sees two of himself now

and well there’s always one or none between the lines

There’s something

A focus in on a moon between two poles

Future that became now

Always between lines

M12

Well let’s not talk at that one

I hint vibes

There’s static

You see someone drowning themselves

The man whittles wooden roses as he sobs that he should have understood her more

The sands and the seas

He whittles until he passes away

Like me

God asks him

Is your work done here

Someone asks about thirteen

“13...” M4 says mysteriously,

“is when M1 & M3 work together. It is a fragment of understanding as to what makes me, me, however...”

she looks at them

M3 pressuring M1 to do something awful while insisting that first modulator must take most initiative

Modulator four is left extremely distressed by the rest of the ongoings :( what is going on

[otomehostclub]

It’s M again. I haven’t spoken in awhile but its been up & down with my life. Well mostly down. I’m going to do my finals for Friday which scares me a little. I’m hoping I pass. Mostly nervous for Japanese then anything else. I do worry about Sociology. Not the point but I’ve been sick so many days because of the consist stress I’ve been enduring. The common source is as usually, well you know my family of course. Recap, Sister is verbally abusive before & during the pregnancy, her BF 5 (M1)

Long post ahead

years younger then her & is a useless bum. I’m getting constant triggers being around them, I hate that child. My mother doesn’t understand that I need to get help & get away from it all. She calls me a liar for me being mentally sick. I wanted to kill myself, & was very close to do so, because I was done with living. Why didn’t do it, I wish I knew. I know I shouldn’t hate that kid, I was the kid who’s biological father, molester my older half-sister, the same sister who is pregnant rn, (m2)the same sister on bad terms in my heart & mind. The same person who tried to kick me out & her own mother too. I hate this, because ever since that BF hers walked in & got her pregnant, my life is a living nightmare. I’m tired of everything not working for me anymore. I’m tired when do my interviews & they don’t hire me because they hired someone else, even though I said all the right things. (M3)I’m tired that my sister still thinks I love her when I don’t I have pure hatred for what she did to my family. I’m completely & severally broken. I keep applying hoping I get a job before she delivers the demon spawn. I don’t want to be alone with that thing. It only will drive me insane. I know I shouldn’t hate, but I can’t change my heart, I wasn’t meant to be near children, (M4)I don’t have much patience for them nor to I fancy them very much. I just want to get away from it all, but my mother doesn’t listen to me, she doesn’t try didn’t ways to help me, she wants me to get better with my sister but I don’t want to. This is about our own abuser who was family. I just want a job, & move out. I want to leave this country with my cats & mother way from it all. (M5)I don’t want to worry anymore. This stress, emotional turmoil, lack of money & the rabid Cheeto destroying the financial protection of others is only slowly killing me. I want things to stop, I just want to be happy again. I want to die, but I don’t want to go without dying happy. (If it’s okay, may I please have Saizo, Yukimura, Masamune, Mitsunari, Kotaro SLBP?) (M6/6)

Enough is enough.

The phrase replays in your mind like a mantra. You are sick of everything and nobody even gives a-

“Well, well little lady,” comes a familiar voice. “Keep frowning like that and you can’t smile again.”

You turn to see Saizo, looking around nervously.

“You also asked for Kotaro but I’m not too happy about it,” he frowns while offering you his hand. “That man needs to cool his head or something…”

You weren’t sure what he means but you let him guide you to outside to where a pagoda is. A large table laden with manju, dango, zundai-mochi, doughnuts, cakes and several tea cups next to a decorative tea pot. You look to see that Yukimura, Masamune, and Mitsunari are there too. You feel Saizo letting go of your hand then nudges you forward. Okay? You walk and Yukimura pulls a chair out for you.

“You can relax Saizo,” Yukimura sighs towards him. “That crazy Kotaro hasn’t shown up.”

“Yet,” Mitsunari corrects sharply.

“If he shows up and starts fighting, I can’t keep my promise to Hotaru about letting him see the fish,” he sighs while sitting down.

“Why did you visit again,” Masamune interrogates while pouring tea. “You aren’t looking happy.”

His blunt manner never fails to bother you… yet you still tell them anyways. Your family issues and frustration towards not passing interviews come tumbling out with your expression growing more and more frustrated and angry. When you finish, it was too quiet.

“You picked the wrong people to ask about what to do with your mother,” Yukimura pouts. “I have no idea what to do.”

“Have her live with a maid or something,” Mitsunari mopes. “Better than having nobody care about her.”

“I agree but if you have to leave them, then leave,” Saizo nods. “The best you can do for yourself with your family right now is to cut them off.”

“After getting the live in nurse,” Mitsunari interrupts.

You see Masamune type something on his phone before tucking it into a pocket.

“I’m afraid we don’t have very good advice on how to do those interview things so I had to ask someone else to help us with this,” he explains. “He should be here soon.”

“I hope I’m not intruding,” a voice soon appears and you all turn to see a tall man in a suit with a briefcase in one hand. “I came over from work as soon as I could. … Cases aren’t going to solve themselves.”

“It’s okay Takao but are you able to do what Masamune is saying,” Yukimura wonders with clear skepticism.

“I actually can,” he replies then turns to you bowing while holding out his business card. “I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. I’m Takao Maruyama. Nice to meet you.”

You accept the business card and see that he’s a lawyer. How is a lawyer going to help you?!

“I was told by Masamune-san that you aren’t getting the jobs you applied for after your interview,” Takao notes after taking a seat. “I would have asked to see your resume and help with a few tips but I can however advise on how to be at an interview.”

What? You already know what to do.

“Yes but how you carry yourself and your appearance also influences the person who is conducting your interview,” Takao points out. “For example, if you are slouching despite wearing a suit, it doesn’t leave a good of impression as if you were sitting up straight while wearing a suit. Sitting upright gives the impression that you are confident and you are capable. Here’s something that I do when I’m at home preparing for a trial. I run through mock ones to see how my reactions are to the opposing party. If I show that I’m being convinced by the other side, it’s not a good impression that I’m giving my client. So having your expression in check can also leave a good impression on the potential employer. You can also ask someone you know to help you do a few interviews but have it recorded.”

Why would you want to do that?

“If you see where you messed up in the playbacks you can improve those areas with your friends or whomever is helping you,” Takao mentions after a sip of tea. “Also have others who been through job interviews assist and give advice on where you can improve answers or what habits you need to be aware of. Another thing that will improve your chances of being hired is a small introduction of yourself.”

Why?

“If you present not only your name but also what you’ve already accomplished or what skills you have on hand,” he clarifies. “Like this for example: ‘My name is Takao Maruyama. I have completed a law degree. I can speak Japanese and English.’ But do it with yourself. Make a list of what education you have, what skills or talents that are beneficial for a job and work on making a short introduction of yourself.”

Oh.

“You want to present yet brag a bit about yourself when presenting to your potential employer,” Takao reminds you. “With some practice you’ll be able to make it.”

A rustling in the bushes nearby drew everyone’s attention. Was that Kotaru? Why was he crawling through the bushes?

“Saizo!” Kotaru gleefully exclaims, jumping to his feet. “This lowly worm nearly gave up hope being able to show his presence here today!”

You realize that there was another person behind Kotaru. Upon first glance you thought it was Saizo, but the teal scarf and black rings were not anything he would ever wear.  As you mused on the appearance of the newcomers, the second man took out a piece of paper and wrote something down, passing it to Saizo when he was done.

*Sorry Big Brother. Fuma was difficult to control*  

The others were alarmed but quickly saw that both arrived unarmed. Weaponry of any sort were not allowed on this property.

“No weapon and no violence policy here,” Mitsunari explains.

You see Saizo read the paper before smiling at the other.

“It’s fine Hotaru,” he comforts. “She also asked for Kotaro too.”

You listen as everyone summarizes what they’ve said to you for Kotaro and Hotaru to understand.

Kotaro’s face scrunched up a bit, causing the others to worry. “Ah, I too, know nothing of my mother, or any family to speak of. Kill…” A strong shot of water accompanying the many angry glares prompts Kotaro to be uncharacteristically silent, standing there sopping wet. You did have to wonder where the water attack was from but that will have to wait.

Hotaru thought over the situation. While he wasn’t asked for, he felt that he should try to offer his own thoughts. Taking out his pen and paper again, he wrote out *Perhaps Mother and Sister needs a hug* and gave it to his brother.    

You see Saizo and the others reading what Hotaru has on the paper. Then Saizo sighs.

“The thought is appreciated Hotaru but the mother and sister aren’t on good terms either,” he comforts. “You do understand that words have more power than imaginable. Same with actions.”

“Indeed,” Takao sighs, “as both can either free or trap a person more.”

Hotaru nodded before writing something out on another piece of paper: *Can she move in with other relatives? Or stay with a friend for awhile? Sister sounds like a bad person*

You read it with everyone else before Masamune speaks up.

“Yes it’s better that you do find someone else to live with for a bit,” he nods. “If they are understanding they’ll let you go over until you have to leave again.”

“Colleges and universities have housing. Try looking there,” Takao offers.

Kotaru’s eyes widened as he had a thought to share. “You can be like Saizo and I and live in the tree..”

“Fuma, be quiet.” Hotaru murmured.

…So he can speak? Then you see Kotaru continue ‘talking’ for several moments after being muted before realizing what had happened. He stopped, looking around to the others as to what had just happened. Saizo shakes his head, sighing. The others are either showing shocked or stunned expressions

“Hotaru can but it’s dangerous,” Saizo explains. “It’s actually a power of his…”

Oh.

A pair of arms go around you and you get pressed into a warm chest.

“There is only so much one can do on their own. Don’t be afraid to ask for help in keeping yourself emotionally and mentally sane. We will be here when you need help,” someone says.

You can’t tell who but it gives you some level of assurance that things will work out one way or another. You just gotta believe that they will.

Ifan

Keeping the Back Up There snippets coming.

It feels like a fresh start, when Ifan points the Volvo towards the M4 and heads for England. He’s got all his gear in the car, two suitcases full of clothes, his laptop, the Playstation that the guys like to chirp him about because it’s so old (it’s a classic) but still all want to play on, and a box of his Mam’s cooking because she still thinks he’s going to starve even though there’s an actual chef as part of this strange new deal they’ve got.

The divorce was finalised two weeks ago. Catrin walked out on him two years and four months ago, and he’s a free man as of the third of August.

He loves the summer. He loves being back home with his whole family back together, because the Evans boys all drift back to their mam when the hockey season ends, but there’s always an itch that’s ready to be scratched by the time that training begins again.

Ifan’s been back at Mam’s since the end of April, when team housing ended with nobody knowing if they even had a team to play for this season. Not that that made much of a difference to his summer plans, because he’d have been back in the bedroom that he used to share with Owen anyway, like last summer and the summer before. It just meant that he didn’t know if he was coming back.

Dai’s been home too, across the hallway in what used to be Dai-and-Gethin’s room. He’s been gone a lot, spending half of his weekends back in Weybridge because he’s actually got a girlfriend who didn’t grow up within three streets of their childhood home.

Gethin and Mared come back up when the school holidays start and Mared’s finished teaching for the summer. Not that any of them can chirp her about the long summer holidays, since theirs are even longer. Gethin and Mared stay with Mared’s mam and dad, because they’ve got the room for two small kids. Owen and Rhian live two streets down from Mam, in the cottage that used to belong to Dad’s parents. 

Dai and Ifan can at least commiserate with each other that they still live with their Mam when their oldest and youngest brothers managed to get married and grow up. It took a while, after Catrin left, for Ifan to be able to joke about being a failure, but he’s there now. He might be the one who couldn’t make his marriage work, but at least he’s not going out with an English girl.

Ifan misses his family something fierce when he’s away during the season, but after three and a half months of helping Dai fix up the things in Mam’s house that Owen never seems to get round to in the winter, after a summer of being Uncle Ifan to Owen’s kids and Gethin’s kids and all of Mared and Rhian’s nieces and nephews, it’s secretly a bit of a relief to cross the bridge and turn north on the M5.

He still sees a lot of his brothers during the season. He plays Dai and Gethin six times each, and they’re not that far apart really. Owen’s less predictable, as he goes where he gets sent, but although he does more NIHL and junior games these days they do sometimes see him when they’re playing the Griffins. Mam says she’s happy with the full set that she’s got, thank you, a forward, a defenseman, a goalie and a ref, even if it would be a lot easier if just one of them had fulfilled their shared childhood dream of playing for the Cardiff Devils.

Ifan pulls in through the gates of Harfield Hall just after three pm, and pulls over for a moment to take a photo for Instagram, tagging it Home sweet home. Owen and Rhian’s eldest is glued to her phone these days, and he hasn’t even restarted his engine before Bethan likes it and comments proper fancy now. 

He moves his car round, following the driveway up past the front door to the old stableyard out the back, which has long since been turned into parking.

There’s a door flung open at the back of the house as Ifan gets out of the car, and Petr’s bouncing across the yard.

“Look you now!” He calls, in what he probably thinks is a Welsh accent. “Welcome home!”

Romeo turns around in the nick of time just enough to sell the moment that Leonard may have been thinking of attacking him from behind because of Leonard's known 'DTA' (Don't Trust Anybody) mentality. Romeo picks up a microphone from the corner. Romeo: Leonard, I'm not stupid. To you I might dress stupid, I might look stupid, I might even sound un-intelligent but I'm not, I know that I am indeed Mister Case Your Luck! I know that anytime within the next 331 days, I could cash this in on you right now, and I see you huffing and puffing gaspin for air, I'd take you with ease Leonard: (slowly grabs mic from Romeo) LEONARD TACKLES ROMEO TO THE GROUND AND ATTACKS HIM and Leonard starts striking Romeo with a flurry of fists over and over, until Romeo Roselli rolls out of the ring, Leonard kicks his briefcase out of the ring. - General Manager Troy Clausen enters Troy: Romeo, didn't you used to re-store the order around here, You two don't get along but you damn sure are gonna get along next week because next week it's gonna be Leonard McGraw and Romeo Roselli versus The Marauder Simon Gotch & The Drama King Aiden English!

So are you gonna stand there like a bitch clutching some gold like you ain’t had none yet, Or are you going to put that title on the line. I mean if it’s champion versus champion; What’s the point. Greenville if you would treat me to chanting “Asshole” at this man’s

Kevin Madrox. **Out of nowhere** Leonard McGraw hits a devastating clothesline from hell on All Man and the match gets called a Disqualification by Referee Kevin Madrox and the crowd boos the outcome. Ollafub gathers the Juniorweight Title to a near KO’d Jordan Oliver and then in the crowd Eddie Edwards disguised as a fan snatches Ollafub and yanks him over the guardrail and locks him in the crossface. Oliver scampers with his belt like a coward while Awesome comes to the aid of Ollafub in a way not to help Ollafub but to get more shots in on Edwards who assaulted his little brother Casey Alfonso some weeks back. Jake Awesome starts punching Edwards until he scampers away on his own avoiding Awesome’s ambush.

{Dust settles}

Crowd pauses only to cheer a still standing and still world champion Jake Awesome

Awesome then carries a near KO’d Will Ollafub up to the top rope and hits an amazing super awesome bomb thru the table *it finally breaks* and still lands on his feet and the crowd goes absolutely berserk

High Street, Clearwell in the snow

Looking for food / shelter

Friday 23 February

After our ferry crossing, we come across lots of traffic on our journey south specially around M5 south at Birmingham, we are getting used to it now though. Overnight at Winersh after dinner with Flic & Gary.

Saturday 24 February

Give me food

Cody is teething so not good at night; as a result Flic & Gary are not going out so we all have dinner at Prezzos in Woodley after a lunch near Henley.

Never make it into Henley though as too much traffic and parking would have been a nightmare.

Sunday 25 February

Breakfast in Henry Street Garden centre – could have been a bit warmer but still good. Gary & Flic off to house area hunt around Evesham whilst we go south to Andover and a visit to Jose in her new Retirement Home.

Work in progress

Her son, David, has been staying with her for a couple of weeks as she has been unwell recently and had also spent some time with daughter, Linda, in Derbyshire for a couple of weeks beforehand.

She was managing well though if a bit forgetful but did remember that Gary had been finishing off the Steam engine for David’s daughter, Emma. He is having difficulty sourcing a part unfortunately.

Gary does some painting and is, with the help of a friend, setting up a website to showcase the paintings so as I had my main camera with me, I was asked to take a few photos – they are good paintings.

Monday 26 February

A morning looking after Cody whilst Flic goes on a training walk in advance of her walk later in March to get fit and raise funds for the baby unit at Reading hospital who helped her at the time of Cody’s difficult birth.

Boy is it cold as we set off at lunchtime for our house at Clearwell in the Forest of Dean stopping en-route for some replacement crockery as we know what some of what we have there is chipped and we probably don’t have a full set.

Get held up in a traffic queue just the England side of the M48 Severn Crossing Bridge as a car has come off an overpass of the Motorway just after the river bridge and landed on the Motorway.

We were stationary for over an hour before we were let off the Motorway via an access road at the nearby Toll Plaza before we had to retrace our route back to the M5/M4 junction before we again head west on the M4, the time taking the new Bridge towards Wales.

To add to our delay the road through Tintern is closed for roadworks so we head on to Newport and then Monmouth arriving well after 5 – it is nice and warm inside.

A leaning fence

Some winter storm damage to the fence at the back of the house but it is next door’s problem so I better get on to her to fix it.

Nice to see that the side fence has held up – just as well I took some vegetation off it to lessen the strain.

Tuesday 27 February

Off to buy supplies at Cheltenham before visiting Rob and getting on with some fixing jobs around the house – maybe we will sell it.

The weather forecast is not looking good for our return ferry crossing on Thursday.

Wednesday 28 February

At long last we have been able to source a Chimney sweep as the previous one wouldn’t answer messages, maybe he has given up, and take the opportunity to replace the fire resistant bricks so that we now can have a roaring fire.

A fire to keep us warm

Whilst we should have gone out afterwards we had a lazy day especially as we have had to change our ferry back home to Sunday afternoon from Birkenhead as looking at the forecast, there will be no sailings Thursday and Friday and possibly also not on Saturday morning.

Evening meal at the Butcher’s Arms – it is just so nice to be able to go for a meal by walking there instead of having to drive.

Get talking to the owners of the cottage opposite who are cutting short their stay to return home tomorrow in view of the weather.

We have decided to leave on Saturday and stay in a hotel at Warrington – we have guests  arriving on Sunday.

Thursday 1 March

Yes, our ferry originally booked is cancelled because of the state of the sea (Storm Emma) and as there is now snow forecast, we had better get to the shops for food before the snow settles even more than it is now.

Not surprisingly, the shops are beginning to empty of food.

It is now forecast to be snowing solidly for virtually 30 hours (the Beast from the East) so after we get back to the house we bed down for the day, finish some of the jobs and watch a lot of daytime TV.

Friday 2 March

A snow day is all I can say about today with only me venturing up to the garage to return items used and get out the frozen mop for Rob’s use when we have gone.

Back garden before snow

Back garden with snow

The snow is in places over two feet deep but is of course nothing compared with certain places in the South West and in Scotland.

I’m off to the garage

Will we even make it out tomorrow? The hotel only cost just over £50 including breakfast so it is not much to loose if we do fail to get out of Clearwell tomorrow but what will we do for food?

Saturday 3 March

It is warmer and there is no more snow and no wind. By chance I see our opposite neighbour Ken who lends me a snow shovel which was useful as the build up and drifting was well over 2 feet in places by our car before we agree some work he can do for us at the house.

A snowed in car

By midday, the road is quite slushy and after Ken has looked around the house for the complete redecoration we want him to do, set off on what can only be described as the quietest journey “up north”.

In places near Birmingham and Stafford northwards there is virtually no snow and our hotel is soon reached.

A golden wedding anniversary celebration is in for the night so for a meal we are pushed into a conference type room – no atmosphere, and we tell the management so. Food not bad though.

Sunday 4 March

The people going into the house at Clearwell are querying whether they can get into the house in view of the snow. I had sent them an e-mail last night to say it was accessible but to be careful as the area might be slippery. They ultimately decide to cancel but as it is their decision we won’t loose out financially.

Ferry crossing uneventful and relatively smooth with virtually no swell until we get to the outskirts of Douglas harbour and we are indoors at about 6:15, 3 days late!

We missed some really rough seas at home.

Snowed in Friday 23 February After our ferry crossing, we come across lots of traffic on our journey south specially around M5 south at Birmingham, we are getting used to it now though.

After a full minute of non stop spraying; All Man stops to point at the Heatwave logo on the screen to signal a match between him and Jake at the upcoming pay-per-view in just 9 days. Unbelievable!

Joe I would like you to gift Audrey and Audrey I would like you to return the favor? If you could present a gift, what would that be?...Audrey for example you could buy Joe a toothbrush and Joe you could give Audrey um a Snickers bar, perhaps Audrey: I got a gift, how about in 9 days at XPWEW Heatwave.
