Bastard Baby
Cars cling to the cement sometimes if you listen close.
They screech and sneer at eachother. Scream against the echoes
of their own tires racing into infinity.
I'd run out of gas if you drove me, you'd forget to fill me up.
Mommy won't pay for your gas anymore after this.
I'll make sure you can never tell me another lie.
I'm more than a man you could ever be, I've built whole kingdoms
without your help. To spite your sloth, and that soft pink pout.

have you seen the new nightwear groovy? alas, the dream of the animal onesies or the pillow fight groovy are dashed 😞 - i have yet to see the card's story but i assume that yuu is interviewing the boys again this year like the birthday boy cards cause there's no other characters in the card (?)
I too am disappointed that we didn't get a big full-on pillow fight. 😔 but he DOES battle by throwing his pillow, so at least we get some cushion action in there!
it looks like this round of birthday cards aren't going to be interviews/conversations, at least not for most of it -- the first part was Jamil talking to Ortho (who he duos with) about what his dormmates are doing for his birthday (they're setting up a surprise party/parade (because Kalim) but they're doing an extremely bad job of it and he's having to go around making sure that they don't screw it up) (being Jamil is suffering). second part was Jamil talking to his (unvoiced mob) roommate and answering Crowley's School Improvement Survey (he wants bigger bathrooms) (also a fridge in his room) (actually, make that a whole kitchen) (but mostly bigger bathrooms). then third part was his ~morning routine~, aka talking to himself about his hair and makeup, as one does in a visual novel. it's less cohesive than the previous birthday stories, but it's all pretty chill and there's some fun stuff in there! (Najma sent him hair stuff for his birthday that's way too fancy and he can't decide if she did it to annoy him or not. truly, being Jamil is indeed suffering.)
if all the cards are going to be about nightly/morning routine though, we're going to absolutely melt when we get to Vil, brace yourselves

Part 2
:] I do enjoy the pain
ID start: A doodle of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. It's a close-up of their hands. The Pale King holds his trembling hand along his body when the Pure Vessel gently grabs his wrist and hand. He flinches and almost pulls away from them, but he doesn't. End ID.
ID start: A doodle of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. The Pure Vessel leans against their father's arm, holding it tightly. Their brows furrowed as they look down, looking troubled or even sad. End ID.
ID start: A doodle of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. A side view shot of the Pale King, with only the horns and the top of the head of the Pure Vessel visible as they lean against him. They say, "...I love you too, papa..." The Pale King looks shocked, tears pressing into his eyes. End ID.
ID start: A doodle of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. The Pale King lifts his head up, his nose scrunching up as he closes his eyes tightly. He trembles as he tries to bite back his tears. One tear slowly falls down his cheek. End ID.

i think it’s really beautiful how mha slowly makes you realize that “this is the story of how i became the greatest hero” won’t mean what you thought it would. you’re rooting for izuku, thinking he’ll be number one after all might, that’s so cool, that’s a dream come true, and then, oh, wait, maybe the chart does more harm than good. it affected the todoroki family, it’s part of the villains’ social critique and oh, maybe it’s also a bit fucked up, because it creates pressure when you’re at the top, leading you (toshi) to self sacrifice, and maybe it’s also a bit empty, because when endeavor was finally at the top he thought he had a role to play instead of working with sincerity and oh, maybe it’s a bit meaningless at this point because the number two is a kid who was brainwashed to become a weapon and killed a man in cold blood and there’s absolutely nothing heroic about that so is it even a good thing at all? is it even a list that we should or want to strive to be on? the whole system doesn’t work, the old generation wants to kill and sweep the core of the problem under the rug meanwhile the mc wants to actually listen, to give villains the time of day, to reach out his hand, to save them or at least to keep trying, which is the actual effort the hero makes. and so you slowly realize that greatest hero doesn’t mean number one hero at all – but something more true and much, much more meaningful.

omfg chara is the funniest mother fucker in the whole room. i never realized just how badly i need chara and asriel on good terms content where they just joke around. like, oh my god, they're besties!
like we do get snippits of it in the comic but the plot is always barreling down at full speed so we just don't have time for them to be silly. happy to say the redraw absolutely fixes this.
