I’m the anon that sent in all the Ruby stuff! It makes me so happy that you love her so much. I didn’t expect her to be such a beloved character to you and I was kind of nervous that you would have hated her tbh. ^^;

Something Ruby related — I had a fic about Twig and co. confronting the siblings before I ultimately scrapped it because I could not write villainous characters without making them feel cliché. I do remember this one line said by Ruby’s sister when she lashes out towards Twig:

“You wouldn’t get it. You have a cushy life style and you baby your daughter instead of actually raising her. We’re doing that ungrateful, spoiled brat a favor — we’re teaching her how to survive. You wouldn’t know the meaning of that with that silver spoon in your mouth.”

I don’t blame you for struggling with not making the siblings feel cliché— writing villainous characters gets 900x more difficult the second you don’t want to make them sympathetic. Ark was fairly simple for me to write, even in scrapped scenes where he was all-in with his villainous role during the events of the post-game. Twig’s aunt, meanwhile, gave me a heck of a hard time while I was developing her backstory.

Nuts are in the baking aisle at my grocery store. It’s correct. But also the last ask just reminded me that when you last referred to canned beans, you called them “wet canned beans” and that upset me greatly. 1) You do not need to specify, there is no such thing as dry canned beans, all canned beans are wet. 2) please don’t call your beans wet.

of course the phrase wet beans is a full on nightmare. of COURSE it’s awful. and yet, is it not addictive? does it not thrill you? do you not immediately want to say it out loud and shiver? wet beans aisle….horrible. yet? beautiful

I miss hanging out with my friends I know they’re all busy with grad school so they have barely any free time but I miss them and i always feel slightly like the odd one out because I’m the only one not in their program and don’t know a lot of the stuff they gossip about but they always make me feel included which is really nice… mentioned how I used to be unable to cook meat because of my ocd and that I still struggle with it but I’ve made a lot of progress cooking my meat at the jbbq we were at and they were all congratulating me and cheering and suggested some things that they thought would help ease my anxiety and I 🥹🥹🥹

Ubuyashiki Family (Magical Slayers ✨)

It’s mostly Kagaya but I mention Amane too.

Ok long story short Kagaya is mansplain manipulate manslaughter. I made him similar to Kyubey from Magica Madoka. In the sense he has good intentions, but very underhanded ways of getting people to join the Corps.

He is Entirely fed up with the (lack of) progress of the Corps. He wouldn’t call all the efforts pointless, however losing several dozen (or hundred?) Hashira and hardly killing any Upper Moons (and no signs of Muzan since Yoriichi’s era) is very much a Net Loss.

He’s tired and ready to end this war by any means necessary, even if it means forcing people into becoming slayers. (The fact this man has foresight just makes his goal a little easier and a little scarier.)

I can make an excellent example of the lengths he’s willing to go with the Tokito twins.

Kagaya did not take kindly when Amane reported that Yuichiro shut down the offer every time. He is not above lighting a fire under them to get them moving, and by fire I mean a demon sent to their house as an “incentive” to join. By showing them what they’re at risk of if they don’t join first.

We all know how it happens in canon: Yuichiro repeatedly denies Amane, weeks later the demon attacks, suddenly Amane returns days(?) later and Muichiro decides “why not” to join the Corps.

This lines up perfectly for my au :D

After the repeated rejections, Kagaya pulls some strings to stage a demon attack. It’s not really staged/fake since the demon does try to take out the twins, but it was planned by Kagaya. As an extra part of the plan, there was supposed to be another slayer to deal with that demon to ensure the twins survived. They’d be scarred, but alive and (hopefully) open to becoming Slayers.

Things didn't go as planned and the assigned Slayer doesn’t make it on time, leaving Muichiro to take things in his own hands after Yuichiro gets attacked. Yuichiro only loses a chunk of his arm, it’s still a lot but not half his arm like canon. He’s able to wrap the wound (and pass out) while Muichiro deals with the demon all night.

Kagaya and Amane actually visit them around noon the next day and happen upon them barely alive. Yuichiro is worse off than his brother and praying for Muichiro to live. Kagaya tells the boys they don’t need the aid of the gods who struck them, he himself will help, and in return they’ll do something (become slayers) for him.

(Kagaya was relieved when this worked. He may be cruel enough to do it but he doesn’t want to kill them. They wouldn’t be useful to him if that happened)

This also means Yuichiro lives.

The bright side is he doesn’t do this with every slayer I guess? He does have an interesting habit of showing up soon after demon attacks to offer the survivor a new life within the Corps. In their freshly traumatized minds all they see is a hand reaching out to help, and not knowing any better they accept.

This is a good time to mention, he is still cursed so he eventually has Amane visit the possible-slayers in his stead, bring them to the estate should they agree to join and uhhh..

Rip their soul out of their body, infuse it into a special brooch, give it back to them & point them in the direction of a cultivator.

anyway don’t worry about that part. Kagaya certainly doesn’t, and he tells the newly-made Magical Slayer not to worry either.

Who cares if you’re basically a zombie now? If your body is injured it’s fine, it’ll just take extra time and magic to regenerate. (Like,,some hours with lots of focus. Maybe just an hour or so for Hashira. Their healing abilities may be good, but they’re not ‘instant regeneration’ good like the 12 kizuki)

He actually doesn’t even tell them they’ve become a zombie. Normally the head of the Corps is supposed to lay down everything that becoming a slayer means, and then the person can make the choice to join or not. Obviously learning you’ll become a zombie is a bit of a turn-off, so Kagaya has just stopped telling his slayers the awful details.

Why do that when it’ll scare them off? It’s more beneficial for him to not say anything and keep them in the dark.

Also I’d like to mention, In canon Kagaya gives respect and gets it in return.

Here though? The Hashiras respect for him is built from fear. Everyone else is able to see, “ohh there’s something wrong with this guy. Better not piss him off.” And try their damn best not to.

Except Sanemi at his first Pillar meeting. 🪦

I don’t think we as a society talk enough about Hozier’s Work Song in relation to Captain Swan in season 5, so I have taken it upon myself to think about it at least five times a day. Thank you for your attention.

I’ve been having a lot of struggles with my energy, sleeping, and mood swings. Ive been struggling with my mental healt for a while, but it’s finally to a point where I’m just frustrated that I can’t seem to have the energy to do things. I keep saying I think I should see a physician, but I think my mom really struggled with my brother and getting him on the right medication, so now she’s wary of pills. She’s also super into the organic/natural side of Instagram.

Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I do agree with her on some of things, and I don’t think it hurts to drink dandelion tea to detox and eat sourcroute on my salads to help my liver. However sometimes I trust my mom a little tooo much (one of her favorite Instagram accounts started posting about moon meditation and like. Bruh. Meditation is great, but I’m sorry the moon isn’t charging u.

Anyways she signed me up for this foot zoning account and talked about how she knew people who had it done and who were raving about it and so I was down. And then I got a confirmation text for the appointment and.

Ooo? What’s sun water? I love drinking beverages!

Oh it’s. It’s water that’s sat in the—it’s. What? Lukewarm water? That sat outside?

So then I’m like “well shoot, if this chick is offering me sun water, what am I paying for? Is it even legit?”

So I check the website and.

Uh oh!! There’s a lot I’m not crazy about in the picture, mainly what it seems to imply about the foot zoning…community?? Idk. What even is foot zoning?? It’s like a foot massage, and according to every wellness site and half rate foot zoner, it’s gonna fix all your problems (RED FLAG) so then I try searching “is foot zoning legit” and. Well.

No it’s not. Listen I’m all for alternate treatments and natural things, I use super granola deodorant and I drink lemon ginger water. And I don’t think that being witchy is bad. I think a lot of things that can help you meditate and focus your mind are inherently good, and even if I don’t think your crystals are charged by the moon, I think that having a little ritual and something to uplift you is great!

But I’m not spending $200 on a foot massage? Like at that point just give me a full body massage—an actual massage, not focused on whatever spots supposedly effect my organs.

ANYWAYS I love my mother but this has been a lesson on the importance of doing my own research. I’m going to go home and give myself a foot massage and drink COLD WATER and burn a candle and pretend I think that it will heal me.

Man, I haven't read the third beartown book yet cause I know it'll rip out my heart and I need to be prepared for that but just reading those posts is making me feel some sort of way.

Every single Frederik Backman book is so good, and the way he humanizes his characters, his prose, just seem designed to people feel and cry. A man called ove is my personal favourite.

im so excited for you to read the winners! it made me cry to the point where i had to put the book down because i couldnt see through my tears anymore LOL

i hope you love love love it. beartown is truly the only series i can think of where every book was a 5/5, i was just as invested at the end of the last book as i was at the start of the first book.

backman has such a beautiful way of writing people because they feel so utterly human. i appreciate that across all his writing there isn’t a single ‘flawless’ character. you see characters at their strongest and at their weakest, you see them for the way they are and the way they want to be, you see them at their lowest. you see every single characters dreams and regrets and most intimate moments and it makes them feel so much more realistic and there’s something so raw about it.

please please please feel free to talk to me and to keep me updated whenever you read the third book! i love beartown so much and no one ik irl has read any of them lol i dont think i’ll ever get over this series

i might get to restart piano lessons this summer. i have to think about it

A blonde walks in a bank to get a loan. “I need to borrow $100 for a month,” she says. 

The banker frowns, but takes her information anyway. He runs her credit but can’t find a report. “I’m sorry,” he says, “but in the absence of a credit record, we’ll have to charge 20% interest on the loan, and you’ll need to put up collateral.

“What does that mean?” the blonde says.

“It means,” the banker says, “you’ll have to repay us $120, and you’ll need to give us something more valuable to hold onto until you pay us back.”

“Something more valuable?” The blonde says. “How about my Ferrari?”

The banker nearly snorts his coffee all over his desk, but he prides himself on customer service so he soldiers on. He runs the title on the Ferrari and what do you know, the blonde owns it free and clear. “Okay, he says, “I’ll print out the papers.”

“Just so I understand,” the blonde says, “I give you my Ferrari and you give me a hundred dollars, right? And then in a month, I give you $120 and you give me my Ferrari back?”

“Yes,” the banker says, “that’s the deal.”

She signs the paperwork and hands him the keys. He counts out $100 for her and watches her saunter out the door.

A month to the day later, he’s sitting at his desk when the blonde saunters back in. She hands him $120 and says “I get my car back, right?”

“Yep, he says as he hands her the keys. She turns to go but he stops her. “Miss, I really have to ask, why did you use a $140,000 car as collateral on a $100 loan?”

“Oh!” The blonde says. “I got called out of town unexpectedly on business. How else can I park a Ferrari for a month in Manhattan for only $20?”
