Ellie giving her gf flowers is so cuteee, how would Ellie react if it was the other way around and it was Ellie’s girl giving her flowers

sjqkxuwnsnxiyawjduw ed8 im in love with her its embarrassing

☆

"wait, wait, wait" you say as you grab ellie's arms, stopping her

"what?" she says, her voice muffled by your skin as she kiss your stomach "i don't care if you haven't shave"

ellie licks a portion of your skin, playing with the elastic of your shorts.

"it's not that" you replie, sitting in the bed and looking at the confused face that ellie makes. her eyes are looking just the way they look when she is horny; a bit sleepy, heavy and dark.

"i got you something" you say, getting up from the bed and heading for the door. ellie tries to stop you from getting up from her side by intertwining her fingers with yours, failing in the attempt.

"what?" she murmurs, the warmth still inhabiting her body, a sign you can easily recognize from her rosy cheeks "you can show me later"

you laugh and shake your head, leaning against the back of the door, "wait here"

so ellie listens to you. she takes the opportunity to adjust her shirt and comb her hair with her fingers, a couple of knots hinder the process but she manages it.

a few seconds later she hears your footsteps on the stairs. ellie makes a mental note to buy something for you too on her way home.

"can you close your eyes?" you say from the hallway, ellie hears you but doesn't see you.

"sure" ellie swallows, nervousness and excitement taking hold of her. she loves gifts "they're closed"

you enter the room to find ellie sitting on the edge of your bed, her eyes are closed and her fingers play between them. when she feels you close, her hands move to your waist, an almost involuntary movement that ellie's muscles memorized at your presence. you feel her thumb lightly caress the exposed patch of skin where your t-shirt was lifted.

"okay" you murmur "you can open them".

and she does. when she opens her eyes, she finds a small arrangement of flowers in your hands, a shiny paper wrapping around the flower bodies.

ellie loves them. they are pink, orange and white orchids, with vibrant, eye-catching colors. ellie doesn't consider herself an expert on flowers, or at least not the ones she can't smoke, but she can become one for you.

"do you like them?" you murmur.

her hands leave your waist to grasp the bouquet, her bruised fingers contrasting against the delicacy of the orchids. you watch as her cheeks redden even more and her body language goes from carefree to a more timid one.

you loved seeing that side of ellie. more shy, more intimate.

"come here" she says, and when you do she grabs your hand and pulls you close to place a kiss on your lips, the bouquet resting in her other hand "they're lovely, thank you" she murmurs against your lips.

you just smile and reciprocate the kiss, which ellie wastes no time in intensifying. she opens her mouth, inviting you to do the same, and when she does you feel her tongue caress your lips and her hand move to your neck. somehow, ellie manipulates your body so that you end up sitting on her lap and her kisses get wetter, the sound of saliva and shaky breaths echoing in the room.

in between kisses, ellie grabs one of the flowers from the bouquet and places it behind your ear, admiring you. you smile and act like those accessory models on TV, shaking your head and posing "how do i look?"

ellie pretends to analyze the look, her index finger tapping her lips in a thoughtful gesture "mmm" she murmurs "worthy of being eaten out"

"ellie!" you say, tapping her shoulder. ellie laughs and sets the bouquet down on the mattress.

"what?" she says, resuming her kisses but this time on your neck "i didn't lie"

and ellie takes your silence to resume what she was interrupted from a few minutes ago by laying your body on the sheets.

Yuuki Kamiya, Jujutsu Kaisen, and The Tragedy of Ao No Sumika x Specialz

Now, this isn't to say that Specialz is a terrible opening by any means, just that compared to the electric nature of OP3, it ends up feeling incredibly lackluster from a manga reader's perspective. Because of that, a major blow is dealt to the incredibly ambitious creative effort Kamiya, the director and storyboarder for both OPs, had put into each to personify his visual style. So, let me walk you all along the path explaining the pain in this failed conversion on the success of Ao No Sumika.

⚠️Warning: Manga spoilers for Shibuya will be discussed⚠️

I think it can be no clearer than the two images I've chosen to represent each opening what it was that Kamiya was going for here.

Gojo and Geto, the pair that once formed the strongest are now being pitted against one another. The two halves that constituted a whole now separated.

But let's rewind a little bit to take in the incredible nature of OP3 here. I didn't really speak on it during the arc, but the more I replay it, the more I discover more and more to truly appreciate within it. What makes OP3 so good? Well, I think a great example is Chainsaw Man ending 8.

What does it do? How does it do it? Despite appearances, this ending (as well as both of Kamiya's JJK openings) share very strong design principles with one another, and maybe even just a bit of Shingo Natsume inspiration. Anyways, the things that tie these openings together. Walk cycles, particularly ED8 here and Specialz, they share Kamiya's passion for slow motion walking animations. Character and group isolations also remain important to his creative vision. Singling out characters or groups to convey a feeling or an overall sense of purpose appears frequently, but once more is felt more strongly in Specialz than Ao No Sumika.

... I think most can read into where I'm going with this point. Specialz is closer to Chainsaw Man ED8 than it is to Ao No Sumika's opening. While the former opening still conveys Kamiya's visual style, it's a far greater breakout in terms of framing than Specialz is. We've seen Specialz before with First Death on Chainsaw Man. Not that it's not good, but it's something that leans on what Kamiya has already established.

Ao No Sumika on the other hand? It's light hearted, it's energetic. It's free. The very first scene we get in the opening is of an isolated Gojo using the fade in/out transitions that Kamiya enjoys, so we're very much aware of his style. But you follow it, and what do you happen upon?

Not an orchestrated and slow walking cycle, no. Rather, it's an energetic and full chase as we follow our Jujutsu High students to the train station. Immediately we break free of Kamiya's typical foundation to provide something outside of the box.

And you can find many examples of that within. Kamiya tends to lean towards a more methodic and "heavy" style before the action breakdown happens in an opening. Which, much like his penchant for walk cycles isn't a bad thing, it doesn't make the opening bad. It simply makes it a one-note affair that can prove to be disinteresting, especially when it can feel incredibly similar to JJK OP2 (Vivid Vice).

And that's not a baseless accusation, let me break it down. The walk cycles that appear from Natsume's OP2 in season one, featuring it's slow-motion and whatnot, also appear in OP4. The idea of groupings and the display of them appear in both as well. So on and so forth, you can find a lot of extraneous pieces that bear similarity to one another.

Once more, I believe you can see where I'm going. Whether or not intentional, it is a rather clear fact that Vivid Vice and Specialz share a lot of creative similarities. And, just to keep driving the point home, it's not a bad thing by any means. It's just not something great.

What I do think may be a little bad though is Kamiya's reliance on moments that will appear in the anime.

⚠️Once more, spoiler warning for Shibuya past this point⚠️

So, the front bits of Specialz certainly isn't bad, and a few pieces in between are solid, and the hand sign ending is arguably the best possible sequence to appear in this opening. But there's a lot of muddy bits in the middle that are just manga panels brought to the opening.

From about 44 seconds into the opening, it relies nearly entirely on manga panels for its visuals. There's a few exceptions like the Itadori-Sukuna changeover, but past that it's strictly manga panels.

Frankly speaking, I'm not fan. It's incredibly hype worthy, but it's not what I want to see in an opening. Considering how I've talked about Natsume here I'll use Vivid Vice as an example.

Dance around the story, feature your own take on it, your own inspired vision on how you would approach it. Play it with, shape it to your liking and allude to things that are much farther into the future than the literal present. Ao No Sumika understands this incredibly well, but it seems to elude Specialz.

I've kinda lost the plot, haven't I? The tragedy that befell this pair of openings is what I'm here to discuss, so let me tie a bow on it.

Ao No Sumika and Specialz are meant to be ying and yang. The happy and inspiring OP that tells the story of the nigh-unstoppable duo as they enjoy their blue youth, versus the dark and crimson life that awaits our sorcerers on Halloween.

Yuuki Kamiya loves blue and red highlights in their openings and endings, and they tend to contain both. But neither Ao No Sumika nor Specialz are complete in that regard. His visual style has been fractured to represent the two stories as they become one to show how intricately tied together Gojo's Past and Shibuya are.

And it's a shame. The electric opening that is Ao No Sumika ends up falling flat on its follow up with Specialz. Arguably the greatest potential in openings in a very long time hasn't quite been squandered, but it very unfortunately missed the mark.

My Top 10 Anime EDs of 2022

1. CHAINSAW BLOOD by Vaundy (Chainsaw Man ED1)

2. In the Backroom by Syudou (Chainsaw Man ED5)

3. Maid no Komoriuta by Ranko Mannen (Akiba Maid War)

4. Hawatari 2-oku Centi by Maximum the Hormone (Chainsaw Man ED3)

5. first death by TK from Ling tosite sigure (Chainsaw Man ED8)

6. Exist by MOB CHOIR (Mob Psycho 100 III) 

7. Hana by Rie Takahashi (Teasing Master Takagi-san 3 ED8)

8. Romantic Love: Ren`ai Shimasenka? by Mikako Komatsu (Romantic Killer)

9. Gedou Sanka by FantasticYouth (Arifureta S2) 

10. Hakuu by Little Black Dress (Parallel World Pharmacy) 

I think this is the first time I’ve had the same artist win both the OP and ED category. The Top 10 ED list might be even stronger than the OP list. I probably could have included a few more Chainsaw Man EDs but I had to narrow it down to 10 somehow and I’m pretty satisfied with the songs I picked.
