#he needs a boost of self confidence!! 💔

[so-called-quail]

'Are we riding far tonight, Gandalf?' asked Merry after a while. 'I don't know how you feel with small rag-tag dangling behind you; but the rag-tag is tired and will be glad to stop dangling and lie down.' 'So you heard that?' said Gandalf. 'Don't let it rankle! Be thankful no longer words were aimed at you.

Sorry, Gandalf...

Merry felt more like unneeded baggage than ever, and he wondered, if there was a fight, what he should do.

Merry got up and yawned. His few hours' sleep had not been nearly enough; he was tired and rather dismal. He missed Pippin, and felt that he was only a burden, while everybody was making plans for speed in a business that he did not fully understand.

'I am afraid I am only in everybody's way,' he stammered; 'but I should like to do anything I could, you know.'

...Merry absolutely let it rankle.

Some Random Narancia Headcanons!

HE HAS FRECKLES E V E R Y W H E R E-

Definitely follows his s/o everywhere like a lost puppy

If his s/o goes somewhere where he's not allowed in, he waits outside staring directly in front of whatever's separating him from his s/o

Has to be updated everywhere his s/o goes, even if we're in the same area/in the same building (rip his abandonment issues 💔-)

Surprise Hugs💖 Man's will jump out of nowhere and lock ppls he loves in the tightest hug ever

LOVES WHEN PPL MESS HIM HIS HAIR/HEAD- HEAD PATS, RUNNING THEUR HAND THROUGH HIS HAIR/PLAYING WITH HIS HAIR, HELL, EVEN NUGGIES- he just craves physical attention-

Speaking of physical attention. Cuddles are mandatory. Friend or more, he demands constant cuddle sessions-

He has frequent nightmares about his time living in the streets and about his mom's death:(

Loves to play games- Like, anything- Video games, board games, card games, or childhood games like tag or red rover.

Hates hide and seek tho. He's afraid someone will genuinely just leave in the middle of the game and he'll never find them again 💔

Likes to borrow clothes from the others even if it doesn't fit lmao

MMMMM LOVES HOLDING/HUGGING HIS S/O FROM BEHIND ALL THE TIME- He constantly needs to be having physical contact so he either does that or holds his s/o's hand : )

Obviously he's a big fan of PDA

And, obviously, he's clingy and not afraid to show it 😭

Gets jealous hella easily. But his mistrust is not in his s/o but rather other people- and y e a h this jealousy can also cause him to become violently easily- (but it's never directed towards his s/o)

He for sure sleeps with a stuffy💀 But he hides it when he's not sleeping bc he doesn't want the others to know about it and call him childish for it.

Speaking off, he absolutely H A T E S being called childish/to be treated like a child. Like, yes, okay, he c a n be childish but he finds it extremely rude and unnecessary for people to point it out.

Wore mint lip plumper gloss once and never again. (He shed a tear after the affect kicked in after a few seconds- It wasn't so much that it stung but rather how caught off guard he was by it💀)

He definitely has ADHD (tho it's undiagnosed so like, he has it, he just doesn't know he has it-)

Very over protective of his food he NEVER likes to share. The only one he'd share with is his s/o but even then it's only if his s/o begs for it or if he thinks they're really hungry and need to eat something.

Will eat literally anything and everything you place in front of him. Even if he hates it/ends up hating it. Man's ain't wasting food.

Mf probably purrs when his s/o plays with/pets his hair 💀

P L E A S E PRAISE HIM- IT GIVES HIM S U C H A CONFIDENCE BOOST. WHETHER ITS PRAISING HIS LOOKS, PERSONALITY, ABILITIES, OR SOMETHING HE JUST DID AT THE MOMENT- His self-esteem sky rockets

Absolutely becomes smug when someone compliments his intelligence-

Loves to fall asleep on people-

Little spoon, for sure- He doesn't mind being big spoon every now and then. But he definitely prefers being held though he tries to deny it-

Mf probably sleeps in like a hoodie/an old baggy band shirt, shorts and socks or a onesie 💀

Mf the type to stare with heart eyes- He definitely stares lovingly for waaaaaay too long. But if it were up to him, he'd do it all day-

He loves to tuck his head between his s/o's neck and shoulder and just place small romantic kisses on it<3

He's totally a visual learner

Will melt if his s/o wears his clothes

Cries with his s/o without even knowing why they're crying-

He loves to hand make gifts and absolutely pours his heart into them while making them

Must be kept out the kitchen-

He most definitely sleeps sprawled out across his bed with half of his body hanging off it

Needs to sleep with like 3 blankets (even if he ends up kicking off most of them-)

Has the ability to fall asleep literally instantly-

Takes naps on the others. They literally become his mattress-

DEFINITELY A SUCKER FOR MATCHING HALLOWEEN COSTUMES. WHETHER ITS WITH HIS S/O OR HIS FRIENDS

Loves wood carving

Definitely has a collection of switchbaldes

Collects model airplanes

Always carries snacks on him

He loves Cheetos and Hawaiian Punch- (idk seems fitting💀)

Has socks with orange slices to match with Fugo's strawberry socks

Has hella bad anger issues. Will literally throw "tantrums" where he breaks and hits things

When wearing casual clothes, Nara likes to wear his converse as loose as possible and with the shoe laces untied (he likes how heavy and lose the shoes feel on him wbsjsjs)

Also a Hopeless romantic- When he falls he doesn't just fall, he d r o p s d e a d-

Unfortunately though, he has the habit of thinking he's in love when really it's just a crush or temporary thing he has going on💔

Definitely listens to happy/romantic music and makes up scenarios (both fictional ones and and ones that he could possibly make real-)

Definitely has gone to Fugo for dating advice thinking he knew everything (Spoiler alert; He doesn't. Fugo doesn't know shit about dating-)

His giggles, laughs, and smiles are hella infectious to most people

He bites people. Both as a way to show love and a way to show dominance-

Aaaaa I’m so nervous to post this kind of content. But hey I gotta get over my fears at some point. 😭💔

(Also yes I take art requests and art trades. Art trades are preferable. Seriously hit me up! It’s been forever since I last did this! No to commissions, I’m not that good lmao. )

Howdy pals, I’m new on tumblr, I just joined it recently because I like the content on this site. And I was hoping to maybe meet some new friends with the same interests as me…?

Anways! Here is some art I recently made! I’m a super big Yakuza fan, especially of their latest game “Like a dragon”. I “fell in love” with the games new protagonist, Ichiban, and got really tempted to draw some oc x canon. 😭💕One thing you should know about me is I’m super big on the oc x canon community. I’m really supportive of other peoples ships and they make me feel more comfortable about having my own. So be prepared to get a lot of support from me if you have an oc you ship with a canon character too! We oc x canoners stick together!>:) 💕(especially Yakuza ones because I’m OBSESSED *screams*)

Anyways…. ( I need to stop saying Anways so much and expand my vocabulary!! GRRRR. ) Here’s some information about the random “girl” I just had to ship with our beloved Ichiban Kasuga. (But to be fair can you really blame me? Ichiban is super cute. I want to steal him and lock him in my basement. I’d provide him with food and water Ofc. )

╰┈➤

𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪 Yume Nakagawa 𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪

Age: 29

Height: 5’10 (no she won’t step on you.)

Patriarch of the Nakagawa Family. (Formally Tojo. Can’t decide if I want her family to convert to The Omi Alliance or Seiryu clan after the Tojo clan was banished.)

Yume is the type of girl who… idk how to explain it.. the type of girl who doesn’t have a type. She’s unexplainable. There I said it. She’s unpredictable, Erratic, pretty horny, Violent, Cocky. She’s a HUGE flirt… a horrible one too. She makes everyone uncomfortable with her over the top sexual comments. She grew up with a ton of men and they insisted on teaching her their roots, so hence the reason she kinda flirts like a F Boy. (I mean half the time it works but on the other hand…… nah. The men she hits on are concerned. ) If I had to compare her personality to anyone in the Yakuza game series she would probably be the most similar to Nishitani.

୨⎯ "Some Facts " ⎯୨

- Yume usually fights with machetes, her go to weapon. She usually uses them for her more… “extreme fights”. When she just wants to give some one a good beating she’ll just pull out her brass knuckles and go crazy.

- She has a soft spot for children. She hates teenagers tho. Thinks they are the scum of the earth.

- Has a pet possum named Lulu at home. Literally she found the possum in her back yard digging through her trash and was like… “ Yep, you’re mine now.” and just took her in like that.

-Yume was a noncommittal person before she met Ichiban. She quickly fell in love with his bright and heroic personality and realized how attracted she was to him. Eventually she made the first move… by asking him to… “slay her dragon.” Obviously he didn’t get what she meant so she asked him on a movie date instead. Ichiban fell asleep on her shoulder. 😔👌💕

Thats all I’ll reveal about Yume so far! If you want to know more about her check out my future posts! I’m probably gonna be drawing her more often.

All drawings are made by @certifieddoofus1

Have a nice day!!!

Also shout out to @kiryu-kazuma-wife

You inspired me to post about my Yakuza oc x canon! Thanks for giving me a little self confidence boost! I hope you’re having a great day/night! :)💕💖

2024 maxchael van horsey yapping

the ENTIRE Plot out of the way, there’s something so AGHFHAHGSJWHDJWJJ🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️❤️❤️ about an intelligent arrogant actor who’s a perfectionist with very high morals about acting, and a nice dumb superficial reality tv star who was stunt cast as a lead having any sort of positive relationship through the dorothy filter

but it makes sense for michael’s character, not just because he’s a hypocrite, he values the person’s commitment and risk taking and focus !!! that’s what sandy had, that’s what max had!!!! even if the two aren’t necessarily good actors or anything like michael, sandy is literally one of Michael’s closest friends and michael (as dorothy) was able to form a friendship with someone you’d assume would be his biggest enemy I MEAN. evil man director, freeloader famous man RON CARLISLE AND MAX FALL UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY!! also on tour dorothy brushed off her annoyance towards max the second he mentioned reading shakespeare and got so excited so I think she’s just autism with it

( michaels a dick sure but people mischaracterize him so bad as this evil monster who spends the entire show treating his friends horribly 😢 )

but anyways john ((shout out to him for being the cast member who talked the most about his character, it saved 2019 and 2020 and 2022 and 2023 and um 2024 me cuz I just re listened to the laura heywood podcast I cant believe bi max has been canon for 5 years this year.)) BUT ANYWAYS BASED ON WHAT JOHN HAS SHARED ABOUT MAX he is presumably the only character that actually ends up forgiving michael ((chz julie is kinda up to interpretation)) which makes sense and NOT BECAUSE HES AN IDIOT but because

max didnt have to deal with as much burdens and lies michael left as julie and rita, whos relationships with dorothy were founded on womanhood. I mean after getting heartbroken and finding out the woman he was in love with and also had an infected tattoo of her face on his chest didn’t exist, Max continues Juliets Nurse with the new actress and then tries to do more acting with his newfound confidence that he gained FROM dorothy, AND realizes he still loves dorothy as michael :( the whole thing is awesome because hooray no longer dependent on your looks and body being the only worthy part of yourself ! hooray self esteem boosted ! hooray self discovery ! oh did I mention he hosts tv show after tootsie as well :D I wanna be a tv show host on day BUT as for his feelings for michael…..Painfully One Sided💔💔💔RIPMAX VAN HORN🙏

It’s hard to imagine they could maintain a friendship after tootsie in the sense that its kinda hard for me to figure out that the various scenarios I’ve thought of over the years would even be accurate considering how loud and delusional max is about his feelings, and if michael would even feel the same and how would that affect their chances at a friendship and AND. if Julie and Michael were to end up together that’d be the end of it 😭 Max seems to end up fine anyway so even if it’s a bittersweet ending, like sandys arc, michaelmaxxing ended, self respectmaxxing was achieved🙏 I need to make a separate post for the sandy/max parallels and their relationships with michael/dorothy BECAUSE THEYRE SO!!!! GOOD!!! I COULD WRITE ESSAYS

John mentioned that he tried to push for a line that would wrap up Maxs story in the end but it never found its way in and I feel like that would’ve changed the game…..Johnny Boy..Ty for ur service :3

but WUTEVER in my head dorothy and max shakespeare infodump and make out wrapped the ninja turtles blanket and my name is max and im wrapped in the same ninja turtles blanket and my dorothy isnt infodumpimg tootsie and making out w me so ima file a complaint real quick not cool bro. here is my favorite max and dorothy interaction frm the newer/and now unfortunately cut forever lines

max: you know, we should rehearse together sometime!

dorothy: sure! lets exchange numbers.

max: ….wont that confuse people trying to call us?

hi

Edit: Ok technically he does spend the entire show treating his friends horribly
