#but he was pretty cruel here

Continued from [x] with @holidayhost

A small furrow of her brows and a small pout. That is the only way Nunnally is ready to show her irritation with that man's reply. Is it out of fear? Out of respect? Or is the cause yet different?

“I am asking who I want to ask…” – she says stubbornly; though now she isn’t sure if she’d like that man to kiss her. Perhaps. Perhaps that could actually be fun. After all it is just a tradition. This man, Goro, is definitely not in love in her. (Is he at all capable of love? Could he be in love with her?) But she isn’t going to ask. Neither about his feelings nor for the kiss.

A gentle shrug of shoulders. Another gentle sign of rebellion? Disobedience?

 “Why should I ask him?” – she inquires  -- “Why should I ask Ji-Hun? I already know the answer.” – it would have much more sense to ask the third one, if she truly wanted a kiss – “I nothing more than a duty…than an annoying obligation for him.” – he was more than clear about it; but she’s going to make sure he’ll have plenty of work with her. She is stubborn. At least Ji-Hun was right about that. But she'll make him seeing something else in her. But she knows she won't. Things don't work this way.

Eileithyia (still little) goddess of childbirth & midwifery: *retelling in great details the most horrible, bloody childbirth she assisted, when Ares was away from home* Ares (still little) god of war: SO COOL!

Concerned Zeus and pregnant Hera: ...

Zeus (to still unborn Hebe): Hebe? It's me, Zeus, your father - please, don't be like your siblings! You hear me? BE NORMAL! Hera (to still unborn Hebe): Yes baby, listen to your father!

i really do not talk enough abt how hilde's hair going white (which he can glamour but not dye. his hair no longer takes dye. important distinction. to him) wasn't only the like, constant visual reminder of his "monstrosity" (= sin eater shit, he never fully turned & his aether is no longer corrupted of course but the white hair is part of the things that like. mark him as having been irreversibly affected by the light, like the gilded/whitened scales, the blank white eyes & his legs now being digitigrade bc he did partially turn into a creature during the dying gasp) but also like. he arrived in eorzea with his hair bleached white. his garlean family had been forcing their own physical traits upon him & white hair was among them. you know? it all ties him back to garlemald. he can never escape garlemald.

i realized that in my head I’ve been unconsciously headcanoning Jin-Chul as half Russian descent.

gimme a second to explain okay wheeze

the more i look at Jin-Chul (especially his manhwa counterpart portrayal) i remember that one boy who lived in next apartment to mine when I was little.

/side note I was born and lived near Baikal lake so there were many Yakut and Buryat people as well as Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Mongolian people/

and so that boy was actually of russian-korean descent and surprisingly enough had almost blond hair and was really nice (like yeah whole idea is based on fact Jin-Chul has non classy natural hair color for Korea so—)

anyway just think about jin-chul being half russian descent and then he pretty much doesn’t even know it because he was taken to Korea back when he was really young and then ended up in orphanage for one reason or another and was an outcast because he looked differently from others—

I was about to make a post about how much I love the ending where Undyne overthrows Toriel but specifically the version where Papyrus is still alive because I find the dynamic between Undyne hating humans and planning to enact another war and Papyrus staying behind in the Ruins when Toriel goes out to watch for humans and it being something he is genuinely very happy to do it VERY interesting because something something parallels between Toriel and Asgore and Papyrus and Undyne and continuing that cycle and all that but then I realized I was misreading the ending this entire time and Sans and Papyrus don't live with her they just visit her frequently 😭

[softquietsteadylove]

Hiii, how are you?

I had this little idea in my mind, that i wanted to share with you.

Thenamesh 10 things i hate about you AU.

Dane the new guy at school, wants to go out with his beautiful classmate Sersi, but there's a little problem with that. Sersi can't go out unless her cold and scary older sister Thena does. So Dane does the most sensible thing, and hiers Gilgamesh a mysterious boy with a bad reputation, to date Thena.

- Btw thank you sooo much for your works, they are so cute and perfect, and always make my days better. 🩷🤍

"Hi Dane!"

"Sersi!"

The two bounded over to each other like puppies, or fawns with a little kick in their step. Thena did smile faintly as she watched her sister excitedly greet this equally sweet, equally nerdy boy she had found to her tastes.

It was the only reason Thena had agreed to this charade of a 'date'.

It was the only reason her 'date' had agreed as well, as far as she could gather. Dane had heard that she and Sersi could not go anywhere unless it was together, their father taking advantage of Thena's naturally repellent presence to keep people away from his more sociable daughter.

Gilgamesh was - according to reputation and rumour - a juvenile delinquent allowed to attend school for a last attempt at graduating before he joined a mob or gang for the rest of his life. He was quiet, certainly looked tall and big enough for it to be believable that he had been in some trouble with authority. He wore only dark t-shirts and jeans with unintentional tears in the knees and heavy boots. And he smoked.

"Ready for this, or what?"

Thena let some bemusement show on her face as Sersi and Dane galloped up to the snack counter, arm in arm. She drifted vaguely in Gilgamesh's direction. "You seem even more displeased by this arrangement than I could have anticipated."

He gave her an equally shrewish look, both of them in a standoff in the theatre lobby. He made the grand effort of pulling his hands out of his pockets and relaxing his posture. He really was big. "Is that how I seem?"

Thena crossed her arms at him, "you need not pretend for my sake, Gilgamesh. What did you get paid?"

He blinked.

"No one does anything with me willingly," Thena said lightly, looking towards her options for food while Dane counted out his pennies to pay for a combo to share with Sersi.

He slid a little closer to her, both of them hovering just outside the bounds of being in line. "Is that what this school is like? Guys bidding for the privilege to go out with your ladyship?"

"They have attempted it before."

"Well, that's disgusting."

Thena blinked at him, this time.

He looked over at her with his arms crossed, "you don't seem like the type who would tolerate that. For you or your sister."

"I don't," she scowled, happy to resume her previous frostiness. "But it is not that original a tactic, is all I'm saying."

"You mean this?" he pulled a few bills out of his pocket, crisp and brand new.

Thena shrank somewhat.

"Dane told me he was trying to ask out Sersi but she wasn't allowed to go anywhere without you. I told him I don't exactly have the spare cash to be taking out anyone," he raised a cool brow at her with that stupid smirk on his face, "her ladyship or otherwise."

Thena's shoulders rose, "so Dane paid you off."

"He lent me the cash to actually buy the tickets and some popcorn, Princess, so put your axe and noose away."

"Prin-"

"So, you wanna see a movie or what?" Gilgamesh stepped in even closer, leaning his head down when the thickness of his arms stopped him from encroaching more.

She eyed him. "Do you?"

He chuckled, "y'know, I really am strapped for cash. I could have just taken this and fucked right off."

Thena continued to regard the cash in his hand with disgust. She must have been feeling generous when she looked at him again, "why didn't you?"

His eyes were very brown, but warm, in a way. "Maybe I wanted the chance to figure out why everyone calls you the shrew."

"Ah," Thena scoffed, finally moving into the snack line for herself, "so you have heard."

"You seem to have heard about me."

"Everyone has heard about you," she both argued and defended, lest he think she had asked about him at any point.

"And what you think?"

It came out soft, hard to hear over the popcorn and the pretzels and the teenagers screaming at each other behind the counter. She looked over at him, but his face didn't match the almost vulnerable tone of the question.

She straightened her posture again and held her chin high, "you are not as frightening as you think you are."

His eyes slid over to her again, a grin on his face, "you're not as mean as you think you are either."

The two stared at each other, digging as deep as they could without exposing too much of themselves, either.

"Uhm, would you like-"

Gilgamesh slapped the cash on the counter and glared at the kid, "whatever the lady wants."

Thena rolled her eyes, but it couldn't be said that she wasn't laughing just a little. She sighed, looking at the LED screen menus again. "Pretzel bites and a medium iced tea, please."

"Iced tea?"

She glared at his loud and amused scoff. "What of it?"

"Even your drinks are uptight," he snickered at her, although he wasn't arguing against the choice as the employee filled up the soda fountain cup in front of them.

Her eyes narrowed, "I like iced tea."

Gilgamesh held up his hands and leaned off the counter, "I did say whatever the lady wants--the old lady, apparently."

Thena met his sardonic chuckling with her own, "if I am an old bitty then perhaps I should not be dating such a young specimen, then."

"Oh, so we are dating!"

She whipped around, ready to glower and snipe and insult him into leaving. But he reached over her shoulder to accept the drink from the kid and take a sip for himself--the first sip! "Hey!"

Gilgamesh made a display of licking and smacking his lips before slipping the cup into her hand from above and behind her, "I guess it's not vile."

Thena huffed, holding the cup protectively, soiled straw and all. "This better not taste of smoke now."

"Relax, I haven't had any today," he assuaged her, also reaching around her - rude - again for the paper cup of pretzel nuggets. He offered her one, "heard you're pretty repelled by the stuff."

"Oh." Thena accepted a pretzel bite (although, really, weren't they hers?). She turned, still somewhat pinned between him and the front counter, "well...yes."

"I do brush my teeth too, y'know," he gave her another devilish look and leaned closer again, "care to test?"

"Hm," she mused, eyeing him again. She let him drift closer until she could jam a pretzel bite between them, "no."

Gil caught the pretzel bite in his hand as she slipped away from him, rejoining her sister as Dane claimed his and Sersi's seats. The sisters traded a few, quiet words, glancing in both directions as they did. Sersi was visibly charmed by Dane.

Thena glanced briefly in Gil's direction, but that was definitely a smile on her face, "perhaps."

He took that as a good thing, walking over with the pretzel bites to her iced tea. "Well?"

Thena merely held her hand out for him to approach the counter himself.

He smirked again, dragging her with him by the wrist and then throwing his arm around her much smaller shoulder when he got up front. "Two for the same movie as them."

The young man eyed them, nothing short of confused at the display Gilgamesh was putting on. He scanned the tickets, "enjoy the movie."

Gil angled Thena to look at her again. She glared at him for man-handling her. He grinned, "I think I will."

Took some pictures of this big momma spider with babies all over her back, but I made the mistake of zooming in and seeing all those little legs, so instead of having to look at that again, here’s my cat Oreo:

me vs integration

[todayisafridaynight]

I may just be delirious but I kind of feel like there's something there about some of the most traumatic events in Arakawa's life arguably stemming from/being made worse by being loved too much.

Like, Toshio's death, right. The death of a parent is always always going to be traumatic, particularly when your other parent is abusive, but I feel like being there, being the first to the scene, made it so much worse. Especially when it should've been a good memory.

Non-zero chance I'm just projecting because I was there for my own father's death and I was around Arakawa's age at the time, but it's like... it did have very specific life-long effects, didn't it... the way he keeps coming back to Peking duck and talks about it like he's had it before when he can't even bring himself to eat it unless he's with family (and indeed, never did, up until right before he died)...

And then there's his former patriarch. Of course, he seemed to see Arakawa as more of an object--fully under his control and something to be thrown away at the first sign of autonomy. But I feel like, before then, Arakawa must've been his "favorite," if he was willing to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Arakawa. Which I expect is what made his reaction when Arakawa told him he was (technically) having an affair with Akane and wanted out of the family that extreme in going as far as to send men after Akane and Ichiban.

The last one I can immediately think of is not exactly traumatic for him, though it is traumatic For Me so I'm counting it, but it's of course what we were talking about with Jo hesitating so much at the thought of killing Arakawa that he passed up the chance to save him.

I Dunno I Am Delirious but... there's a pattern somewhere in there... Anyway. Uh. "Happy" Father's Day am I right

happy fathers day :]]]]
