Tsurugi is talking with touma over the phone here and we only hear tsurugi's side of the conversation. I know yoshimasa was the closest thing touma had to a good father figure so I can see him trying to be nice to his kids, but the image of touma picking up shuhei and his little sister from school is still funny.

#servamp #taishi touma #kamiya tsurugi #one cool thing about the different generations of C3 is that they all have known each other for so long #that they still remember some now adult characters from when they were still children/teenagers #Shirayuki and mikado still see their children as kids sometimes and letting them go to make their own choices seems hard to them #Yoshimasa was somewhat of a father figure to teenage touma and kid/teenage tsurugi #shamrock knew shuhei since he was a baby and in final servamp quest he comments on how tall touma has gotten #touma and tooru know each since elementary school and iori at least since their high school years I assume #jun tsurugi and yumi all know each other since elementary school and grew up together #and with mahiru you have him being the biological son of the vice manager #nephew/basically son of the executive manager #and considering how iori died to protect him and asked him to call him uncle iori in parallel summer honorary nephew of the branch manager

#so first of all i'm not jewish.#but i feel like i occupy a relatively weird position with respect to judaism.#because the neighbourhood in which i grew up was like...30-50% jewish?#it was jewish enough that the local families requested and got a hebrew immersion programme at the local elementary school #that operated in parallel to the english programme that i attended #and about half of my friends growing up were jewish.#and so i absorbed a lot of the surface-level details of the religion by a sort of osmosis #like...i knew the dates and significance of the various jewish holy days #and i knew a smattering of phrases in hebrew (phonetically); most of them apparently quite rude #and we occasionally did jewish religious songs in choir (some of them admittedly lifted from the 'Prince of Egypt' soundtrack)#and once when i was in high school i was on a trivia team; and we asked a run of questions about judaism;#and i was the only one who knew them even though (i swear to god) i was the non-Jewish player on either team #(and then when i was much older i almost married a jewish enby and i would even have tried to convert for them #but our relationship fell apart for unrelated reasons)#but one of the things that was drilled into me when i was growing up (by my dad who grew up under similar circumstances)#was that you don't criticise Israel; it's antisemitic to criticise Israel #(which made for a lot of fraught moments as a teenager given that i was watching the second Intifada on the news)#and the thing is even now in the face of what seems pretty unambiguously to be a genocide against the Palestinians #i find that i'm more circumspect about criticizing israel than i would be just about any other country under the same circumstances #like i was writing things like 'fuck saudi arabia' when they were murdering houthis in yemen #but 'fuck israel'?#even though a little harsh language is least of what that regime deserves #ugh #i feel like i'm privy to the death of a dream that was never even mine.#personal #religion

Finally got around to scanning my little phone strap collection... Ft these two who were very uncooperative with the scanner

#my favorites are the pair of tokidoki milk cartons... i've had them for like over ten years #i think i bought them back in elementary school #🗨️#the three cat bell ones were presents #the piplup and cyndaquil ones were also old as hell from a capsule machine we had at the mall in like 2010.#the various gotochi kitty ones are secondhand #and the pokemon silicone charms are from some random capsule machine i ran into in greece on my class' end of high school trip #i also had a pichu and a gliscor phone charms but the charm part broke so i just have the little creature figure by itself #which is like yeah Technically they used to be phone strap but now they're . strapless .

genuinely can’t believe i made it through the texas public school system. that shit was ridiculous

#i also definitely didn’t have nearly as bad a time as a lot of my peers did #i was bullied in elementary school but it didn’t affect me enough for me to remember much now #high school was godawful but i had a lot of friends and good teachers and good memories #but the whole concept of texas public schools are fucking ridiculous #texas in general is ridiculous i feel like a clown whenever i’m out of state and tell someone i’m from texas #goofy ass state #yeehaws

about to project all my beef with hyper christian southern small towns onto cowboy anakin

#im talking meth heads im talking as many booze stores as there are churches im talking falling asleep to the sounds of coyotes #he is me i am him #<-#dont ask me about that when you read it #my period’s over now so i feel alive again #im talking falling asleep in church and never rlly feeling like you woke up #im talking being torn between giving into a fake version of you and leaving to start fresh #because its what you know and if everyone believes the same thing maybe youll feel like you fit in if you do too #every day being the same the trees get swept up by tornados and then they grow back #im talking being stuck but maybe its better to say god gave you a purpose so you follow that #despite the growing resentment #grasshoppers and washed up high school football players #this probably wont translate in the fic but itll be there #sweat and always feeling like its sunset HUMID AS HELL #there used to be an active crackhouse right across the street from the elementary school #i dont think its active anymore but #also a gun store across from a walmart #(in the town 40 minutes away)#📜.scrolls

one day you're meeting a cool transfem who used to work for the green party at a group job interview, the next they're fucking your boyfriend in an emotionally but not sexually fulfilling way

#cowering in the basement of doom thinking about how ~everyone is interconnected~#it appears this girl from my elementary school is now dating the predator who I had a crush on in 7th grade #and like!#it is very cool that everyone I know knows each other!#but also! much pressure! in that. what if they don't like me and think I'm weird #seeing my high school ex's roommate literally everywhere at victoria college type beat #/also seeing v*ctor on grindr #have we fucked the same twinks??

hm, out of all of the things I was expecting when I slowly started putting myself back in fandom spaces, “unresolved trauma from being an autistic kid/teen who was always perceived as Too Much” wasn’t on the list, to be quite honest.

#ooc !#maybe I’ll unpack this more on my personal blog later. Who’s to say. not me certainly.#but yeah the amount of friendships/relationships I had from like. elementary school to high school(to even some of college)#where like. it’s suddenly revealed to me incredibly late that I’m being seen as overbearing / overwhelming / needing or being Too Much #and by then there is no fixing it yknow. by then they’re just telling you to get you to fuck off (or telling other people and not you lol)#(that happened way more often in online fandom spaces)(but tbh my hang-ups in online fandom spaces)#(come WAY MORE from like. interactions with Very Particular People)#(who self-admitted to like. actively trying to dig up dirt that didn’t exist on people ‘just in case’.)(or if they just didn’t like someone #(they aren’t around here anymore but nevertheless the few times we interacted and they tried that w me made me paranoid for ages </3333)#ANYWAYS if you read this far: hiiiiiiiii #i’m doing fine but oh god the weird nostalgic loneliness of being That Kid really hit me all at once #I’m still so bad at making friends now because of all of this naksdak #like I have to put effort into keeping up with people or else I’ll accidentally hold myself back / kind of isolate #under the assumption of like ‘oh you don’t want to scare this person away do you? you don’t want to be overbearing right?’#and it’s like. hey. hey brain. hey bitch. we gotta talk to people to actually form relationships with them. that’s how this works.#vent #anyways I gotta go build a closet now ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ...

I have so many fun facts about myself that aren’t really fun. They’re just like… mediocre. So I’d never bring them up when someone asks me for a fun fact, and they are too short to really be entertaining stories, so I just have a books worth of little events in my life that are only somewhat intriguing but they compose who I am. And I think everyone is like that to a degree. We’re all little stories that we don’t think are worth telling. Not because we don’t want to, but because we don’t think don’t think they’re worthy of being heard.

#no clue what to tag this #random thoughts with rowan #existentialism #random thoughts #so anyway have a few of these little tid bits about me #a stranger #as a child I cursed when I cut the tip of my finger off and my first priority was apologizing for cursing #I once pretended to be interested in the Navy and made an appointment with a recruitment officer just so I could take his mug ☕️#I’ve had to pull tarantula fangs out of one of my coworkers #I once told a teacher that they couldn’t call my mom on me because she was in prison #I learned how to juggle because I thought it was imprsssive and then stopped practicing once I leaned that people thought it was lame #I had a bird named Devil who I only owned for two days before returning to the pet store after he attacked my mom #I set a bag of popcorn on fire by accident and the first thing I did was grab it with my hands #during my freshman year of high school I collected chapstick because I thought my future girlfriend would want to have options…#cont. and I never once wore any of the 60+ chapsticks of mine while kissing someone #instead of selling lemonade I used to sell painted rocks on a street corner #during a group project I forgot how to pronounce Ohio #In elementary school I told the lunch ladies I was allergic to wheat because I hated whole wheat and now I actually am #I know most of the lyrics to the songs from The Greatest Showman but have never seen it #as a child I thought plums were a made up fruit #I planned on joining the military out of spite against people telling me I would not have enjoyed it #I flooded a classroom and got doused by a chem shower on my second day as a lab assistant #and uhhh there’s more but have this for now #fun facts

Literally nothing in my life makes sense and there’s no escape from it. Even when I try to put my head down and ignore everything.

#my mom just told me to start going by a different last name to get a job #like it’s easy for her she’s never had a multipart religiously Muslim Arabic last name #but decided to make #all her kids have solidly Muslim Arabic names #and now because I guess she feels the effects I can just change it #????? what #she heard how horribly I was bullied daily thoughout elementary middle and high school and forced me in hijab through it all #I’m so angry at her I’m so done with all of this #she knows I plan on changing my name anyway but like.#am I just supposed to ignore the culture I was raised in???? BY HER nonetheless #i get it. i get it she never knew what she wanted to be but all she knew is she wanted to be special or stand out SLIGHTLY #she was fine with all her kids being violently harassed #and just didn’t give a singular fuck #but now this and some other things….it’s hard to deal with #my identity issues come from her just doing whatever it takes to stand out a bit while being a tyrant #while me/my brother/my sister actually tried being good Muslims.

Christians in the southern US are so weird, like dude why are you proselytizing to me we live in the bible belt. I promise I've heard of jesus before

#they always seem SO certain that this will be new information to someone #like theyre gonna walk up to someone door and the person will be like 'church? what is this church you speak of please tell me more'#or like the copy of the new testament theyre handing out will be the first one someone has ever seen #'oh wow a bible? papá doesnt let us have these on the atheism farm'#like dude once again. we are literally in the bible belt. i was raised christian. we basically all were #my mom and grandparents took me to church semi-consistently all the way through elementary school #and then my mom sent me to a christian private school in sixth grade #7th-9th grade i was back in public school but i spent every single sunday morning wednesday evening AND school lunch period in church #all of my own free will in fact #and i know this is how proselytizers think bc my youth group fucking took us proselytizing #in our small town where everyone but like two (2) people in my high school attended the christian lunch group #and there were two churches on every corner #they still sent us out to spread the word of jesus and tell people about church #which. looking back on it now. why? what was the point?#rambling #anyways. there was a dude handing out copies of the new testament at my college today and getting angry if people said no thank you #if i had more free time i would be tempted to go stand on the opposite side of the street from him #and hand out 'agnostic bibles' that are just blank notebooks

Oddly specific feelings:

How it feels when you find out that people you knew distantly in elementary/middle/high school but were never friends with because they were more popular than you have come out as queer / discovered their queerness during or after college. They (generally) get love and affection for it from the people you thought were your friends once upon a time, but who left you to be in those more popular cliques because you were just a little bit too weird for them to associate with, for fear of it affecting their social image.

It’s a strange sort of awkward relationship, in which you know that even though you are members of the same family of minorities, they will never have struggled to fit in in the same way that you do, and thus will never quite understand you, no matter how much you now appear to have in common.

#lgbtq+#lgbtqia #queerness #being queer #asd #autism #actually autistic #autistic #autistic adult #audhd #adhd #i was always the kid who was just slightly too weird for the popular groups and never fit in with any of the others #i was even too socially off to hang with the other social rejects for too long growing up #just socially acceptable enough to be acquaintances with many but friends with one or two people at a time #when you appear normal at face value people tell you your struggles are all in your head #but tell twelve year old me why none of his friends wanted to be seen with him after elementary school was over #tell me why people from high school smile and act friendly years later when you were too inept to realize when they teased you to your face #now x and y can post their pride pictures and get love from your family friends but those same friends joked about you being gay growing up #oops im rambling

i was cleaning out my camera roll and found photos of my 3rd grade report card specifically my teacher's notes and they're so cute 😭 sylvie was such a sweetheart and so encouraging genuinely my favourite teacher of all time even now, and you can tell she put so much thought into writing a really beautiful personalized message why am i actually going to cry over an elementary school report card. sylvie i love you

#i wish i kept in touch with her #i remember i ran into her when i was almost done high school bc our weekend german school rented space from my elementary school #and she was there grading #and she was so sweet and asked me if i had written a book yet (bc my dream used to be tk become an author)#and when i was like 'haha not yet' she was like 'i expect you to send me a copy when you do'#anyways i think she's retired now or i would totally swing by the school to visit #honestly sad that ill probably never see her again 😭#p.s.
