Miracles are the friend group that's only still friends because they all equally suck and they know they're all on equal levels

They all also share the same trauma of middle school, they've seen the worst of each other like no one else will

There's just this authenticity to the group, where they can just truly be themselves, and let's be honest they're not very pleasant people 💀

When I showed my friend this show he said "yeah I really like the miracles, I like how they're all really just losers" lmao

I'm not saying the miracles are bad people they're just well written characters, they're very flawed especially at the start and I really like that

I also love how their friendship with each other got alot stronger when they left middle school, they all left the toxic little bubble they where all in and where able to hang out with each other again in a much more healthy way

Relationship with Social Networks, pt. 1. Kuroko Tetsuya: - He has all the main social networks, but he only uses them to lurk. Occasionally, he leaves comments on other people’s posts, but he has no posts of his own, anywhere. - Only the Generation of Miracles and Seirin follow him. - He follows Seirin, the Generation of Miracles, and the new teammates of MiraGen. - He is extremely polite even on social media. - Hahahahaha, sure, of course. - He has a fake account on Instagram, and no one knows it’s his. - This account is extremely popular and is practically followed by anyone who plays high school basketball. - On this account, Kuroko says whatever comes to mind about anyone, without giving a damn. - “Akashi IAmAbSolUtE Seijurou is indeed absolute. An absolute asshole. ” - “Someone do humanity a favor and bitch-slap Aomine Daiki, then take him to therapy.” - “It seems that today’s lucky item for Cancer is some fucking realism.” - “If you need a picture of Himuro Tatsuya, open any dictionary and go to the entry for ‘Envy’.” - The guy needs to vent a bit.

I always found the whole "Koji is sexist because it was a different time back then" silly a bit. Like I get it, I'm glad things have progressed, but Duke was in the same time as Koji and has never been sexist or misogynistic..I think Kouji was just a projection of the writers/or he's just an asshole. I read the reason why people loved Grendizer but it wasn't that big was not because Mazinger was the first, but because it was "progressive for its time", that's what I remember from one person's blog who did a deep analysis on the show.

Duke is so much mature than Kouji, Tetsuya, and Ryoma, he never makes sex jokes and doesn't belittle anyone and is strongly against violence at times. He gets confused a lot but he is more human than anyone, and he's an alien. Love you Dookie /lovingly

Trigun Manga Reaction

Now back with Volume 1 - Chapter 3

I like this. Simple pose but very interesting with the "imbalance" I guess with the tilted head, shadowed face, and slightly lower slope of one shoulder. It's not "stiff" and it's easy to imagine the wind blowing through Vash's coat and hair.

A thought occurs tho, Did Trigun predate Tetsuya Nomura's obsessive belts, belts, and more belts design quirk? Did Nightow and Vash started that anime fashion trend?

Uhuh. Says the people who tried to shoot a GRENADE at that same one guy.

I kinda put these three panels in a sequence because... we know Vash is a good guy. Of course, he's going to save the women but the emphasis on the Nebraskas reaction to his rescue is really interesting.

Vash gives them a side-eye. He's either gauging their capacity for mercy or already clocked in that they are capable of mercy and silently hints for them to wait just a moment.

Father Nebraska understanding and just waits as he smokes. Then confirms first if Vash is ready to rumble again.

Idk. It's a moment of humanity not only for Vash but for the Nebraskas too imo.

AND IT'S WEIRD! In '98, Father Nebraska tried to get a cheap shot on Vash while he was still carrying someone to safety.

Yeah, assholes. Vash is doing his best to keep the women in the clear while you guys just throws grenades willy-nilly into buildings who have people in them. Smh.

Ngl. This sequence confuses me a bit. But, going with what happened earlier, the Nebraskas were not targeting the women. The punch was intended for Vash - which he dodged easily. However, instead of running further away, he shielded the women from the flying debris that the punch caused.

WHICH AGAIN, I REITERATE, IS REALLY WEIRD FOR '98 TO DEVIATE FROM!

In the '98, they are bonafide bad guys but in the manga they're still bad but not "Muwahahaha I'll shoot the injured women Hahahaha!" bad . The Nebraskas have some semblance of honor here.

I guess this is why TriStamp has a much more nuanced presentation of these characters. It's closer to the manga.

Oof... Owww... Vash... 😢

Another gorgeous art. I like how Nightow's way of using perspective here!

Junior is established to be huge - a giant. He always take up so much space in the panels/pages like below:

However, when Vash finally "duelled" them seriously. Doesn't Junior suddenly "feels" smaller and Vash really big?

It's really cool how it instantly shows that Vash isn't goofing off anymore and the Nebraskas stand no chance in winning this.

Ragey Baby Girl no longer smiling.

Sigh. Gotta admire their one track mind.

Ngl. The line work here gave me Junji Ito vides for some reason. Vash's eye look haunting, cold, and really old.

Linework carrying hard on this page. Vash is obviously quicker with how much lines are there in his entire arm - convincingly too fast of a blur. Meanwhile Junior has less lines which makes his fist less blurry and, therefore, slower.

Clever use of the sound effects in the first panel.

I don't know what the fuck is going on in the second panel. I've been staring at it too long already and I still can't understand except it has something to do with Junior's arm?

Third panel is the crazy detail on Vash's eye. His glasses seem like he is looking at the side. However, on closer inspection, Vash is actually not looking away from the incoming attack.

The following pages is really great at building the tension on how would this duel end. The '98 anime captured it very well!

Looking cool, Vash!

Also, is it just me or does he always look for opportunities to show off his flexibility and long long legs. Must he really split here?

...

...

YES. YES HE MUST.

Oh. Ooooh! So that's what happened!

In '98, this conclusion was given to the bandit in Episode 1. His own enhancements crunching his body until he passed out and lost to Vash. However, they can't exactly rehash this in Episode 5. So, we have the "LOVE AND PEACE!" scene instead.

Admittedly, I prefer the "LOVE AND PEACE" conclusion more.

I like how, so far imo, Nightow just gives no fucks about anatomy in his art. I mean... Look at this! Even if we reason that it's because his coat is dramatically billowing with the wind, Vash's body is not proportionate. However, it doesn't matter! It looks cool and it evokes the right emotions just fine: fear and awe.

OMFG?!!! The trials these two are going through! These poor insurance ladies! Milly hanging on for dear life to that pillar. Meryl just screaming her lungs out EVEN WITH A MEGAPHONE!

AND IT WAS FOR NOTHING!!!! OML

Being considered as someone equivalent to a natural disaster shouldn't bring joy, but damn it... LOOK AT HOW HAPPY VASH IS!!! AWWW BABY GIRL!!!

Wow. They blame HER!!! How dare- Meryl beat them up! No, Milly. LET MERYL HAVE THEM!!! THEY DESERVE TO BE CRUMPLED LIKE TISSUE PAPER AFTER THROWING OFF GRENADES LIKE CONFETTI EARLIER AT VASH!!!

Awww. Their first interaction is SO CUTE!!!

In '98, it's funny and amusing. Ditto on TriStamp. But this one is sweet since Meryl and Milly kinda saved Vash in here.

I mean. Yeah, the townspeople are scared because Vash just beat the Nebraskas, but they are desperate for money. Desperation can override fear given enough time. Vash would've been hunted all over again.

I take it back. The insurance ladies climbing up to that bell tower was not for nothing. It was enough to allow Vash a moment to breathe and, as he rejoices, be free (even just for a while).

Wonder what exactly went through Vash's head here. Confusion? Fear? Dread?

HELL YEAH!!! BADASS LADIES IN LONG COATS! STRIKE FEAR TO THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE!!!

Oh. Some responses to the a couple of tags:

@alena-reblobs

Thanks! Glad you're having fun too because I sure am. I appreciate the warning and I'm kinda nervous because the action this chapter was kinda confusing to understand. Hopefully, it won't get worse (will it?) I agree that they are very cool nonetheless!

@eldritchneuro

Thanks for explaining! Paneling is always fun to study in mangas because they usually follow a 3 or 4 panels which mangakas creatively breakdown to evoke a feeling among readers.

Trigun is interesting because its from the 90's! So, some of the paneling are probably "prototypes" of the crazy ones we'd see in modern mangas.

I guess, Nightow's aiming to make the page very "cinematic" with slo-mo (sparse panels) and hyper focus on details (graphic weight). It draws us readers in to the story more effectively as if we are there too with the townspeople looking at the Humanoid Typhoon.

[maukiki1]

So, for MFB dub or sub? Which do you watch? Just a bit curious.

(Ik this is my art blog but fuck it, block of text jumpscare)

Well with mfb you dont really have a choice unless if you know japanese well enough do you? The sub doesn’t exist besides the first 30 episodes… yet😭 what i guess youre reffering to is the regular ass japanese version😭 i mean if there WAS a sub id naturally watch that of course because im all for sub i dont like dubs but like when you dont have a choice… its the dub😭 i of course watch the japanese version (without sub cauze it doesnt exist) sometimes on certain episodes where im like “i GOTTA see how this was in the original) . also the dub isnt bad by any means LMFAO people shit on it but like? Im sorry the joke delivery is a thousand times funnier LMFAO theres just so much like random ass funny shit they say that you know wasnt there in the original version?? Like i just know😭😭i dont know japanese well enough to understand it fully but like theres certain jokes in there that were just added with the dub and you know it.

Fusion ryūga is funny as FUCK. Like one of the major reasons why i dont hate his ass is because Hes literally so fucking funny wdym your father couldnt cut it. I feel like the va started taking him more seriously towards masters LMFAO and from what ive heard from japenese ryūga he has the same seriousness throughout. Tetsuya is also funny in both in both versions…jumbo crab…….crabba whaaaat⁉️⁉️ plus coach steel plus masamunee😭😭😭 Daxiang’s voice difference is also so funny theres something so funny abt his. English dub like. He sounds like hes trying too hard like 99% of the time but hes also silly. He sounds like an angry mother grounding his son when talking to Chao xin in that one episode😭😭 If that makes sense idk i fucking love daxiang… i compared the a scene once where hes like kinda shouting? Screaming? While fighting Julian and Japense va sounds so serious while the eng. the😭the english version😭😭hoAAAAAAAAA😭😭😭HE SOUNDS SO FUNNY HES SO STUPID💔💔💔

one voice i dont like from the japenese version is🤔julian…. Idk what it is but…i dont like it😭😔 a one i dont like from the ENGLISH dub is uh😭im sorry guys but king’s english voice irritates me I KNOW GINGA IS RIGHT THERE BUT THERES SOMETHING ABOUT IT….it just… idk its just irritating 😭😭😭Kyouya is also funny as SHIT in English fuckin. Alpha male wolf no one understands me i feel it deep within its just beneath the skin i must confess that i feel like a monster ass……but his japenese voice??? He sounds like a grown ass man….???? I know teenagers can sound like a grown ass man n have deep voices n shii but like that shit caught be off guard when i first heard it……… damians voice is sooooooo cute in the japenese version it makes me sadd😢 also aint his japanese va romi park🤔that woman who has voiced like every anime character ever LOL including lui from beyblade burst….his cute voice though like😭hes like supposed to be this fuckin. Evil Antagonist n shit and how am i supposed to be intimidated or take him seriously to any level when he sounds like… just a little guy….

I also prefer ziggurat’s english voice over the japenese tbh idk he sounds more evil i think it fits him more😔i dont hate ginga’s english voice (even though my friends say its so irritating they cant bear to listen to it for more than a second lmfao) i prefer the japense version over it yeah…..daidouji is also funny as shitballs omg..he needa stfu but also dont because youre ridiculous yknow. ?

(Talking abt damian again) I mean he is a little guy but his english va sounded so much more like the fucking asshole he was LMFAO…. Also ig his english voice would make more sense hes american idk🤔i dont hate his japanese voice by any means its so cute i love it sm but i just cant take it srsly😭😭😭ive heard fury in japanese the least but one time i specifically watched an episode where almost everyone was there so that i could see how their voices sounded like in the original and?? None of them stood out to me idk😭(well thats fury characters for ya LMFAOO)like they weren’t memorable to me im not saying theyre bad💥💥💥💥english though😭

Theres a way that. Dynamis sounds in the english version thats like. He. Sounds like kinda like a robot like a guy with no inside voice its kinda funny. The robot thing might be bcs hes constantly spewing out exposition and being a plot device but still its like the way he tones his voice sounds like its his first time talking ever ITS NOT BAD ITS FUNNY😭😭maybe it makes sense cauze that mofo lives in that isolated temple or whateva. Also credit to the english ver. Of the scene where Aguma and Kyouya were battling and the argument was literally fucking “youre not a lion youre a house cat in the backyard” (great thing to say when youre on johnnes’s side aguma😬) “GRR what did you just call me” THIS IS A MIDDLE ARGUMENT. THEYRE TALKING LIKE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ROLEPLAYING IN THE SCHOOLS GARDEN. WHAT IS THIS😭😭its funny i hate them both i hope they die (affectionate)

So uhh which do i prefer? I like both but English dub is more entertaining imo and also i have to watch that one most of the time bcs i literally have no other choice if i wanna understand what theyre saying

Ikemen Genjiden Character Talk #12

"Noble Blood x Dangerous Temptation"

"The Cursed Emperor" Sutokuin/Akihito VA. Tetsuya Iwanaga

Name: Sutokuin/Akihito

Age: Who knows? He looks like he is in his late twenties but could probably be a grandpa based on the real timeline of the game.

Birthday: Jul 7th

Profession: Emperor

Affiliation: Imperial Court.

Hobbies: Waka poems, playing drums when Ibuki wants to dance, bullying Yoshino.

Likes: Yasuchika, Ibuki, Yoshino.

Dislike: His asshole dad (I guess, everyone hates Toba!)

Personality Traits: Kind-hearted, mischievous, cunning, intelligent, evil.

FACTS FROM ROUTES AND EVENTS:

Akihito is the love rival in Kagetoki's route and his scenes with Yoshino are ABSOLUTELY CUTE!!!! Also, this was also the point of time when Cybird also gave more spotlight to the 'love rivals' (Although, the routes before Kagetoki did have love rivals, they didn't get separate story previews or anything)

Apart from using Kotodama, Akihito can also use Ibuki's thunder abilities.

The only time Akihito's curse was actually lifted is in his main route.

Sometimes Akihito finds his beautiful elegant kimono a hindrance to his walking because the hems get dirty easily because of the dirt on the floor and he sometimes also trips and falls when accidentally stepping on the hem.

Akihito also falls in the category of men that never gets drunk no matter how many glasses of alcohol they drink.

He has a matching bracelet with Ibuki. The main purpose of this bracelet is to keep Akihito's curse in control. Although Akihito can still control his curse without it, he still wears it for safety purposes and it's also made by Yasuchika.

Akihito absolutely LOVES Yasuchika! More than you think. Even while he's with Yoshino, he would think about Yasuchika. For example, when he and Yoshino go on a date, he would think, about what gifts he should buy for Yasuchika. I can say this because I have noticed this in several story events.

Akihito was the one who actually raised Yasuchika and taught him various things about the outside world. They also promised that they would go see beautiful scenery together once Akihito regains his actual body. But that promise is yet to be fulfilled.

Despite loving each other to the point that they are ready to die for each other, both Yasuchika and Akihito are awkward in expressing their love. Like they don't know if they want to hold hands or hug each other in a happy moment.

Akihito loves hearing when someone calls him 'Akihito' or 'Akihito-san' because he feels like they are closer to him. He even wants Yasuchika to call him 'Akihito-san' like he did when he was a little boy. But Yasuchika just doesn't. He also wants Yoshino to call him 'Akihito-san'. She does call in the beginning of his route when she didn't know who he actually was and also in the marriage story event.

When Yasuchika was a kid, Akihito would hold his hands and guide him to his room when he feels scared.

Akihito also once cooked food for Yasuchika, and Yasuchika gobbled up everything because he didn't want anyone else to eat the food Akihito prepared.

When Yasuchika was once suffering a life-threatening injury (What if I were a demon? Story event) Akihito was ready to give his vitality to save Yasuchika without any hesitation even at the cost of his life. Even when Yasuchika was sick (in Ibuki's route), Akihito was about to emotionally break down. He was sent to his room by Ibuki because he didn't want Akihito's curse to leak. But Akihito doesn't sleep or eat until Yasuchika woke up and he kept sending maids over and over again to check if Yasuchika was doing fine or not.

Yasuchika also wants Akihito to have 48 children with Yoshino. But that's never gonna happen, because it's impossible and Akihito doesn't want Yoshino to suffer. But he does want to have kids with her in the future.

In Yasuchika's route, when Yasuchika was living in the Shogunate temporarily, both Akihito and Yasuchika exchanged letters asking if they were doing well. But at the same time, Akihito grills Yoritomo asking whether Yasuchika would turn from a sweet little angel to a barbarian like a samurai after living with them.

Out of all the male leads, only Akihito and Ibuki think that Yasuchika is cute. Akihito also calls Yasuchika a sweet angel or sweet little boy.

Akihito and Ibuki don't call themselves 'friends' but they still get along with each other very well.

Yasuchika used to say Akihito is very kind, but after meeting Ibuki, he made Akihito evil and cunning. Ibuki used to take Akihito to gambling houses and brothels in the guise of 'social learning' until Yasuchika threatened to kill him.

Whenever Yasuchika decides to kill Ibuki, Akihito would jump in and protect Ibuki. Most of the time, Akihito would be beside Ibuki when does something wrong and would defend him.

Akihito also really cares about Ibuki, that he ordered Yasuchika to go and save Ibuki when Ibuki's powers where going out of control (Ibuki's route).

Without Yasuchika and Ibuki, Akihito will be all alone. The three of them are like family, tied to each other and they cannot live happily if any one of them dies.

According to Ibuki, Akihito likes to order people around and won't pick up anything apart from chopsticks on his own. This is false by the way, the only other thing Akihito picks up besides chopsticks......is Yoshino. lol.

Akihito temporarily owned a blue bird named Ruri which he bought along with Yoshino.

The first time he has eaten street food was with Yoshino in his main story and he didn't know how to eat them. He asked if there is a certain etiquette in eating them. Yoshino also wants to take Akihito to different kinds of commoner's restaurants for fun, just to see his reaction.

Akihito has shown to have been interested in Yoshino from the very beginning, even before his route. In certain events, it can be seen that Akihito simply comes to visit her just to see her face, whenever she comes to Kyoto.

Akihito used to love writing songs about love even before falling in love with Yoshino. But now, after actually falling in love, he wants to write a song about her.

He also loves bullying (like every male lead in this game!) and giving her mean orders, for example, his whole route! Of course, our masochist Yoshino loves being bullied around.

He once got jealous when he saw Yoshino talking to her friend about a man. Of course, he starts making out with her out of jealousy and when he later asks about the man, Yoshino tells him that she and her friend were talking about a man from a certain painting. Of course, Akihito was slightly embarrassed to find out that he was jealous of a fictional man.

One time, after losing a game of chess to Ibuki, Yoshino was ordered to give Akihito a hickey as punishment. Of course, she does so, despite being SUPER EMBARRASSED that she had to hide her face the entire time. Akihito knows that Ibuki won't ask them to show the hickey as evidence and he could have told her that, but he still decided to keep quiet because Yoshino was being too cute.

Akihito and Yoshino's secret place is the King's throne. It's usually covered so no one will know they are in there unless they hear Yoshino's cries. Who knows what unholy things they do in there. It's true. If Akihito realizes that they are alone, he wouldn't let go of any chances of cuddling her or kissing her. Who needs a bedroom when you have a fully protected and covered King's throne, right?

Yoshino once bought lipstick, which was reviewed to give anyone wearing them kissable lips, so that Akihito would kiss her. But he didn't because she didn't ask for a kiss in words. I'm talking about the Do-S story event.

Most of the time, Akihito loves fingering Yoshino and watching her cumming just from his fingers........yup!

Shouta's thoughts on Kagoshima Division

Tetsuya Yashiro

"So.. he' s the leader of Sour Bomb. Yashiro Tetsuya… that fucking thief. He really is a pain in the ass. First, he steals a precious item from me and when I try to make passes, he yells at me and acts like an asshole. I know it's important to maintain good relationships with other division leaders (according to Issey) but this guy…. eugh.

Plus he always looks like he wants to punch everyone else. Is that normal? Like really... Maybe he should work on his temper a bit, no jk. Maybe if he was a little nicer and less of a jerk, we could smoke together someday."

Min Jinwoo

"The brains of the outfit, no doubt about it. He seems to be the only member with common sense. Well, the other little guy seems smart too, but with such a leader they have... anyone looks smarter next to him.

I like Mr. Jinwoo's style. Very fancy. I hear he's a hairdresser. Maybe I should ask him for a session to revamp my look. I wouldn't know how to pay him though, he must charge a lot..."

Minato Kanzaki

"Little guy! He must be Issey and Eiji's age, right? So young... He looks like a stray kitten, quite shy and quiet.

I bet you anything he must have a great GREAT talent. I've always thought the quiet ones hide a lot of things. I just hope he isn't badly influenced by Tetsuya. I also like his outfit. Very emo… is that the name of that style? Geez, I'm too old..."

Kagoshima Division

They seem to be a pretty strong division, I can't deny that. But they should do something with Tetsuya, maybe send him to therapy to calm his anger or idk. Although I doubt I can get along with the leader, I think it's possible to be able to maintain a good relationship with them, you know… friendly-enemies or whatever.

Shouta's first impressions of @kagoshima-division

He sounds like a friking geezer, omg XDD He is only 28 XD

[andro-dino]

firing a machine gun filled with questions at u 🫵

which canon character(s) do your ocs not respect at all with the de la cruz siblings 😳

WOO THIS IS A FUN ONE

My first thought with essi was kyoya bc she hates him bc he’s an asshole, but that wouldn’t be entirely true bc even then, I still think she has some semblance of respect for him as a blader, even if she doesn’t like him personally. If I really think about it, I can imagine she would not respect Tetsuya at all. idk if she’d ever interact with him but since her character arc mostly centers around fusion, there’s a nonzero chance of it I think. She absolutely would not care for his schemes and hijinks at all she would put him in a dumpster in an alleyway and slam the lid shut.

For axyl, my silly answer is the sodo twins. admittedly, axyl is kinda a woobified little dweeb with no backbone, but Gemios trio is so fun bc the sodos definitely bring out the snarkier side of their personality and it just so often looks at these two and is like “god. you guys. are such losers. I hate you (affectionate).” Besides that though, I don’t really know. Axyl doesn’t tend to think really highly of themself and tends to find something to respect about most people, even if ae doesn’t like them, so I don’t think I can really see them 100% not respecting someone. I guess the closest would be Ryuga maybe? like he can respect his strength obviously but like, as a person and just in general, axyl does not care for Ryuga at all. If he wasn’t a weak little spaghetti noodle I think he’d probably call Ryuga a bitch to his face. They just think his whole routine and attitude is so tired and lame and just like. does not gaf about him

[hiriawrites]

disharmony. 4/??

Daichi is hard to surprise. He has to be, to lead a clan filled with headstrong, bloodthirsty assholes. But the Sawada kids have come the closest to surprising him since Kyōya discovered tonfā. He knows who they are and whose kids they are. Daichi makes sure to keep tabs on the people with connections to the Underworld. They’re under his protection, after all.

READ ON AO3 OR READ UNDER THE CUT

The Hibari Clan Head might not be Underworld unlike some members of his clan, but they do keep him up to date on the current intel. Sawada Iemitsu hasn’t been to Namimori in over a year, causing a rise in the amount of Mafia scum he has to clear out of his Territory since the Young Lion can’t keep his damn mouth shut. He knows that Nana Sawada gave birth a few months ago and seemed even more airheaded than possible soon afterward.

Something’s not right.

He watches as the kids settle on the mats in front of him. The eldest, Tsunayoshi, nervously rubs his pants while his twin, Chiyohime, watches him with suspicious eyes. The youngest is asleep in Chiyohime’s arms. 

“You’ve come to the Hibari for help, why?” he asks.

Tsunayoshi clears his throat nervously, eyes darting around the room before landing on his siblings and steeling his spine. “Something’s wrong with Okaa-san Hibari-san and I don’t know how to contact Otou-san for help.”

“What’s wrong with your Okaa-san?”

“She won’t touch Matsu-chan,” the boy answers quietly, “and she drifts around the house like a ghost.”

Postpartum Depression, possibly? Shinsuke’s wife suffered from it after Tetsuya was born. It probably doesn’t help that Sawada had fucked off back to Italy soon after getting her pregnant.

“Is there anything else?”

He shakes his head, some of that nervous energy returning. The twin hasn’t stopped watching him suspiciously, but he doesn’t begrudge her for it. With how much their parents have failed them already, he’d be suspicious of other people too.

Daichi hums thoughtfully as he weighs the pros and cons. He really doesn’t want to put the Hibari on the Vongola’s radar, but these kids are under his protection.

“I’ll help you,” he says.

Tsunayoshi lights up, slumping a little in relief.

“What do you want in return?” Chiyohime demands, speaking up for the first time.

“My son needs to socialize with people other than his cousin,” he answers dryly.

Tsunayoshi pales while Chiyohime presses her lips together. Daichi doesn’t let his humor show, Kyōya's reputation precedes him after all. 

“You want us to be friends with your son?” she clarifies.

“Yes.”

Tsunayoshi trembles briefly then firms his resolve, his brown eyes almost gleaming with a hint of orange.

“We’ll do it.”

TETSUYA PLEASE COME AND FIGHT ALONGSIDE GRENDIZER NOWWWWWW

[ukigumos]

« ooc / meluna -

I need to get this brainrot off my chest so today's 1880 thoughts, with rambles and no sense of direction:

There's no heterosexual explanation for Kyouya's rage whenever he sees Takeshi almost dead. I think in some ways, he is effected by that roof incident at the start of KHR. And man. When Takeshi got stabbed and almost actually died in the Shimon arc? I bet you 100% Kyouya visited him then chose violence.

And don't get me started on whatever was going on with that Genkishi battle. One glance at Takeshi and Kyouya was like 'and I took that personally'.

What's interesting is that Kyouya is extremely anal about owing people and people owing him. But he never holds it against Takeshi when he saves him. Usually he'd register a fallen man like that as a weakling, but he still holds Takeshi with high regards. He always says his full name while calling others runts, monkeys, herbivores, etc.

I think the mutual respect for each other's strength is what makes the pair so appealing. The fact that Takeshi, the biggest support pillar of the family, has someone who he can fall back onto, that he doesn't have to pretend to be okay around. Impeccable.

Recently, I was analyzing that anime-only 1880 episode ever for my powerpoint/masterpost and that thing served. Their interactions are limited, but the chemistry is off the walls. 1880 is the sort of ship where when you compare/contrast their interactions with the rest of the cast, their relationship between each other shines so bright.

I noticed something VERY interesting when watching how Takeshi behaved around his friends vs Kyouya when he was in pain about letting go of baseball. He makes no effort to hide himself at all. No laughter. No lies. He gets straight to the point and Kyouya listens. He actually listens to Takeshi a lot, surprisingly. (look at when Kyouya made a beeline to Takeshi in the Sky Battle and actually RESTED and entrusted Takeshi with his ring-- like, actually wtf was that)

Anyways. I think my favourite part about the 1880 episode ever was that Kyouya watches from afar. I think that's his way of supporting Takeshi. He quietly watches over him, and he only intervenes when Takeshi almost dies.

There was something just really sweet about the way Kyouya noticed how much baseball meant to Takeshi when he was cleaning the clubroom, giving him space. The storyboarding there actually hits so hard. He watches over Takeshi teaching the juniors from the roof then turns up to the match the very next day completely unprompted (also note how Tetsuya kept up with Namimori Middle School's baseball activities years later, hm, sus).

Meanwhile, Hayato is being a (saying this in the nicest way possible) fucking asshole the entire time, downplaying Takeshi's pain, telling him that he's not working hard enough, calling baseball a waste of time etc.

The episode is so sad to me. Takeshi letting baseball go. I think Kyouya knew the gravity of the decision. When I first watched that episode as a 12 year old, it didn't really click at first. But I've been thinking about Kyouya's response to Tetsuya when Tetsuya says 'it's a loss which leads to a brighter future'.

'Losing's useless. you have to win'.

On the surface, not only is this a very Kyouya thing to say, but most would interpret it as him not caring or-not having faith. But I think, there's a bit of symolism in here. Because the whole point of Takeshi's arc is about sacrifices SO, here's my hot take:

Kyouya isn't saying that 'if you loss, it's pointless.' literally. Because almost every single time Takeshi 'loses', he still turns up for him, doesn't he? It's not about that. If anything, I think that Kyouya is saying that Tetsuya's words when applied to Takeshi, is wrong. So if we read it as: 'Takeshi's loss of baseball leads to a brighter future', then we can interpret Kyouya's words as him saying that 'Takeshi shouldn't have to lose baseball'

Now circling back to the first thought, I think this particular incident would've been that extra catalyst for Kyouya's rage when Takeshi almost dies. Because he was out there embracing his love for baseball again. Then he almost loses his life. The audacity.

more love language headcannons!!! Those were so sweet, it made me squeal. The kyoya one was too real, i felt it in my soul. What does that asshole ryuga do and respond best to?!?

eeheeheeheeheeeee more languages of love

Ryuga- If he knew that love languages were a thing and that so many things can be considered one, he'd never interact with anyone ever again so they wouldn't "misinterpret" anything he does as loving. I think his is gift giving, in the way that he'd share his resources with someone he cared about. The only love language that he wouldn't immediately recognise as other people showing him love is quality time, so if you wanted to show him that you care, you can get away with doing that one.

Ryo- He tries to give quality time, but he is so, so very bad at it. Would be better off giving words of affirmation, but that's just not how he works, unfortunately. Will only understand being given words of affirmation because he's completely oblivious to anything else.

Tetsuya- If you consider committing elaborate, highly illegal schemes for you to be acts of service, then sure, that's what his love language is. Would accept quality time the best, on account of the abandonment issues.

Tobio- I think he'd give physical affection. Idk why, he just gives that vibe (but don't fucking touch his hair or he'll shoot you). Probably receives words of affirmation the best.

Ryutaro- Gift giving, as in he'll find gems to align the chakras he thinks are off in you, incense to ease your specific stress, oils to help with whatever is ailing you, etc. Would respond best to quality time, since he's so used to spending so much time on his own while on the road.

Doji- I think he'd like giving and receiving physical touch. Idk, something about him being so intrigued with a plant you can't touch feels a little 🤨. Absolutely WON'T understand acts of service because he expects everyone to do everything for him anyway.

No Vacant Allowed

Fandoms: Zatch Bell and Professor Layton Rating: T Summary: A 18 year old Japanese girl just want to be a miss independent and a 14 year old British boy just want to help her like a gentlemen he is. Disclaimer: I do not own Zatch Bell and Professor Layton. Verse: Vacantverse Ship: Luke (Professor Layton) / Suzume (Zatch Bell) Crossover Ships Week 2023: Day I (First Meeting) Note: LOL I know crossover week 2023 ended already and late submissions are accepted until August so here is my shitty writing for day 1. @crossover-ships-brainrot. Also, this crossAU takes place in the new Professor Layton game setting (I know NWOS isn't out yet but I don't give a fuck lmao)

Visiting Steam Bison, America wasn't no summer vacation for 18-year-old Suzume Mizuno. She decided not to invite her best friend, Mariko Nakamura, and her high school classmates to fool around in America, which most likely they would if she did request their presence. Suzume has no plans to relax in a foreign country. She was only here for one purpose; to search for her missing father.

Tetsuya Mizuno, the father of Suzume, was last heard from Steam Bison, according to the address on his postcard that Suzume received from him four months ago. When Suzume didn't get a response from her father, she assured herself that he was just too busy. However, Suzume knew her father better. Tetsuya would never take too long to write back to his daughter.

'Why did I bother to come here?' Suzume sighed in grief. 'The moment I arrived on American soil, a group of thugs forced me into this alley and robbed me. The jerks stole my passport, visa, and money.' When Suzume realized her suitcase was also stolen, she scowled in anger. 'Those assholes also took my clothes!'

14-year-old Suzume would cry and beg for help, but 18-year-old Suzume would swear and refuse assistance. She stomped out of the alley, ignoring curious, dirty, and apathetic looks from the bystanders. She's going to search for the thieves on her own.

14-year-old Luke Triton was on his way home from the city hall when he noticed a foreign girl standing on a barrel. She was peeking into an abandoned building's window, and she had an angry expression. Luke approached the girl quietly.

"Miss, that's dangerous."

"I know, it is dangerous. I'm not dumb. Those bastards robbed me."

"How could they do such a thing to a pretty young lady?"

"Pretty?!" The startled girl turned her head towards him, giving him a gape. "You need to get your eyes checked, kid!"

"I didn't mean to offend-"

And because the girl was so flustered with his compliment, she lost her balance and was about to fall on her butt, but Luke caught her in time.

"Are you all right?"

"….I'm fine. Wait a second" The girl glared back at the window. "They were counting money. THEY WERE COUNTING THE MONEY THEY STOLE FROM ME!"

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" An angry voice bellowed from the inside.

"Boss, I swore I heard Triton's and a lass's voices." A second voice spoke, clearly frightened.

"That fucking kid and his Lovelady! Get them!"

And Luke didn't waste no time. He held the girl's hand and led her to safety.

Suzume was a foolish young woman. She had exposed herself and the young boy by screaming her head off. Well, she did have the right to get angry. Those thugs still have her savings for her trip. She can't shower and change clothes in a hotel. Not until her belongings and money were returned to her.

Gurgled. Suzume's stomach gurgled. She blushed, feeling embarrassed.

"Are you hungry, Miss?"

Damn. The boy must have heard the gurgle. Suzume turned her eyes away from him in shame.

"Yes. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm starving for a while." She added a nervous giggle. "Can't buy food without the money, after all."

"Oh, there's no need to worry, Miss. You can stay with me for a while."

"Huh?" Suzume froze for a second. "No way. I mustn't," She shook her head in disapproval. "I'm a young adult here. I should be taking care of myself."

"My family wouldn't mind."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Do I need a reason to help someone? It's just common decency.'

"…Hold on. I forgot I am in America and speak English fluently. Can you understand my English?"

"I can understand your English pretty well."

Finally! Suzume's two years of learning the English language paid off.

"Oh. That's good! I was afraid that I may be butchering the English language."

"Triton," A policeman caught up with the two. "You're needed back at the city hall."

"Are you being arrested?" Suzume questioned the boy, confused about why a policeman was there.

"Pardon me, Miss?!!" The Policemen responded to her question in disbelief. "Now, why would I arrest Detective Luke, who had helped the police to solve the toughest mysteries in this wonderful city?"

"Wait," Suzume gawked at the boy. "you're a detective?"

"Yes, it looks like the cat's out of the bag, huh? I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Luke Triton. It's nice to meet you, Miss."

"…Suzume.Mizuno," Suzume responded in an awkward tone. "Well, I guess I'll see you around…"

"What are you talking about, Miss Mizuno? You're coming with me. It's too dangerous for a young lady to be alone on these streets."

"How old are you?" Suzume narrowed her eyes at Luke in doubt.

"I'm fourteen."

"Aren't you too young for detective work?"

"Age doesn't matter when it comes to detective work."

"It sure as hell does."

"Miss, you shouldn't use such language."

"I'm 18 years old. I can use whichever language I want, and I'm quite moody right now."

"Umm, we should head over to the city hall now…" The police officer reminded the two awkwardly.

"There's better be food and drinks at the city hall," Suzume grumbled.

"I'm sure they will have refreshments, Miss Mizuno." Luke smiled gently.

A few hours later, Suzume and Luke arrived at a manor. A butler named Doland Noble greeted them at the front door.

"Welcome back, Master Luke. Oh, you brought a guest?"

"Oh, yes. Miss Mizuno will be staying with us for a while."

"That is indeed kind of you, Master Luke. Please do accept the Master's hospitality, Miss Mizuno."

Suzume didn't respond. Her mind was racing. She didn't feel comfortable with this hospitality. It felt wrong to freeload off a 14-year-old boy and his family. Where were Luke's parents anyway? Should he be getting their approval first?

"Are you coming in, Miss Mizuno?" Luke asked, smiling at her.

Suzume stepped away from the front door. She clasped her hands and shook her head nervously.

"Ah, Miss Mizuno doesn't speak English?" Doland wondered.

"She does, Mr. Doland. She's just nervous. Please prepare a bedroom for Miss Mizuno."

"Very well. I shall leave you two be." Doland bowed politely and went back inside.

"…All I need is a shower and a change of clothes, but those thugs also stole my suitcase." Suzume pouted, still quite upset.

"You can borrow one of my mother's dresses. Beth can wash your dress for you."

"No, no. It's fine!" She sighed in frustration. "I have no idea why I'm even here in America. All I wanted to search for my missing father in peace."

"Huh?" Luke's eyes went widened in surprise. "So, you aren't here for a vacation?"

"No. I'm not."

"What is your father's name?"

"Tetsuya Mizuno."

And Luke just took out his notebook and wrote Suzume's father's name.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to help you search for your father, Miss Mizuno." Luke grinned at her. "I will also help you to retrieve your belongings from the thieves. After all, a gentleman must help a lady in distress."

"How cute, Triton," Suzume giggled. "You want to help an old hag like me."

"You aren't an old hag…"

"I know, Triton. It was only a joke. Forgive me for trying to be so mature."

"Well," Luke smiled delightfully. "There is a greenhouse and a garden in the backyard. You can enjoy your time there until you're ready to walk into my house."

Suzume gasped. Her eyes glittered. She felt a little better. This Triton boy knew how to comfort someone well. She smiled brightly at him.

"Okay, Triton! You can tell me about the mysteries you solve!"

Two hours later, Suzume finally tracked down the thieves in a hideout and crashed their meeting.

"GIVE ME BACK MY BELONGINGS AND MONEY, YOU SHITLOGS!"

The thieves froze in fear, gawking at a young Japanese woman in a long pleated dress carrying a baseball bat. Luke was facepalming outside of the house alongside the officers.

"So much for protecting Miss Mizuno…"

"Triton, should we go in and arrest the thieves?"

"I'm not the Chief of Police, sir, but sure."

"Luke, my boy." Luke's mentor, Professor Hershel Layton, stood next to him. "Do you know the young lady?"

"Yes, professor. I just barely met Miss Mizuno hours ago."

30 minutes later, back at the Triton household…

"Are you actually British, Triton?" Suzume asked in curiosity.

"Yes. I'm just living in America because of family reasons." Luke answered. "How did you know?"

"I can tell by your accent."

"Oh, so you are pretty smart."

"Not really…

"Miss Mizuno, would you like to try this puzzle?" Layton offered, giving her a kind smile.

"Sure…" Suzume accepted. She needed to test her brain anyway.

And Suzume indeed did get her passport, visa, money, and clothes back.

"Why I'm still freeloading here, Triton?"

"Because I invited you, silly. That's why."

"Tritoooon," Suzume whined.

And it wouldn't be the first time Luke would hear his surname being called like that. And Layton has a flashback of Anton, Don Paolo, and Descole calling him Laaaayton. The professor smiled and sipped his tea while observing Suzume and Luke interact friendly.

And the adventures of an 18-year-old Japanese girl, a 14-year-old British detective boy, and his unknown mentor began in AMERICA.

Well, maybe they'd meet more new friends in the future.

Who are your top 5 babygirls I need to know

this is the funniest pity icebreaker you could have sent thank you yasmin. i will take the bait

when i was thinking about it, i realized i'm not actually sure i know what babygirl means nowadays... is it just pathetic men? does there need to be an element of "...and he's my little boyfriend <3" to it? honestly it's very rare for me to consider any male characters my "boyfriend" or "husband" so i will focus instead on which of them are most moe

1. fate's oberon of course... he IS my designated anime husband. i won't go too into spoiler territory for him, but he's quite literally a disgusting little freak enamored with the idea of having a wife who actually likes him. i think that's a universal sort of appeal. he has awesome voice acting! his design rules! he's a huge asshole BUT he is really kind in his own way! he can't be honest! his valentine's event takes you to a shitty apartment that looks like a fucking landfill! he's perfect!!! his swagless looks and cringefail personality captivated me from the moment i first saw him. he wins the category of "the lesbian's husband"

2. i'm in the middle of a big enstars phase rn so i HAVE to say eichi. the grip he's had on me since 2016-2017 is crazy... he literally redefined my taste in anime boys. there's no other character in this world that allows me to rocket back and forth between laughing about how nasty he is and fervently wanting to defend him from people who hate him for being nasty. kind of a "nobody's allowed to dunk on him except for people who love him!!!" situation... every time i ever stepped away from enstars it was because i get really down about how weird people are about him!! read fine events!!! he committed war crimes but he was soooo cute while he did it so you have to be nice to him or i'll cry. he wins the category of "the first hill i'd ever die on, the only man i'd ever die for"

3. KUJA FINAL FANTASY!!!! I COULD FIX HIM!!!!!!!!!!! that's all. he wins the category of "i could fix him"

4. jin kisaragi from blazblue. i have said truly truly wretched things about this man that i am too ashamed to ever repeat. but a tetsuya kakihara guy with a terrible personality, a pretty face, and a skintight black bodysuit is undeniable. he has a beautiful girlfriend and yet spends his games looking like an idiot with his fucked up siblings. he wins the category of "i wanna put this man in predicaments"

5. did you know that i apparently don't have a single fire emblem man i'm able to confidently call my babygirl? it's crazy... my fire emblem favs are firmly in the son category. like i thought maybe reyson from fe9-10 or arvis from fe4? but it just doesn't feel right... so instead i'm going with caim drakengard for no deep reason. i just think he's the funniest ever. i hope he's happy with his dragon spouse. he wins the category of "(jessica rabbit voice) he makes me laugh"

Marluxia great uncle: Where did that Leon Belmont Castlevania asshole or AntiJustrBelmont come from?? Tell me… Isn’t that a possessor, Koji Igarashi summoned possesser to victimize the hosts? If they can’t find the Castlevania haters and behind those who hate Castlevania, that was before… CV haters had hidden something because CV lovers had despised the thing that protected for. CV have said they rocked, the CV fan called Christian something called These guys are boring. That Christian and Maria Cristina Nuñez the admin of Maria Renard must face Organization xiii themselves until Org xiii’s voiceovers and Tetsuya Nomura. I remember some fake KH fans kept saying I Hate Kingdom Hearts so many times. Saying CV and KH are both great, I mean they spin the weapon about Vampire Killer, I mean Hello.

Gee, the truth CV can turn people into a retarded and turned kids like BamBam and ChumChum, Aunt Iza’s favorite kids pay attention, to crazy psychopaths who took everything from Rosella Basco Macapinlac. Rosella wants to punch them, their mouths annoy her but the attentions is all for them only, especially in family bonding, Oh My God. The reason why Rosella doesn't want to talk to Bam Bam and Chum Chum as cousins is because Aunt Iza only pays attention only for the Salaya Sisters. Aunt Iza is very strict ordering Rosella must talk to Sebastian who is obsessed with Ghosts, the same tyrant kid who stole cookies from Rosella, Sebastian was born from Castlevania while Collin was born from FEXL.
