#however i actually reached pictures limit in my post (and the magic number is 30)

[akai-anna]

So I just recently read your post about decto relationships with the bingo card thing, and I enjoyed it a lot and wanted to hear more of your opinions on other relationships. I would like to see which other relationships you choose and how you view them.

Firstly, I would like you to know: I cannot even put into words how happy this ask made me (the fact someone was curious enough to ask something from me unprompted! the fact that SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME TO APPROACH ME TO ASK!! AND ABOUT DETCO!!!), so thank you very much for making my day with this and giving me that dopamine rush. (Also, thank you for your patience, I got too busy and took me much longer to answer than expected!)

Secondly, notes still apply:

as in the previous ask about relating to this topic, i interpret relationships in the broadest possible sense

i check everything that makes sense to me, even if they seem contradictory; i view them applied to different situations/universes/possibilities

ship opinion bingo in question

*cracks fingers and rolls up sleeves* Now, let's get down to business.

I. Kudou Shinichi/Edogawa Conan - Miyano Shiho/Haibara Ai - Detective Boys Trio

The Elementary Squad

I have A LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM SO GET READY.

In general, the friendship (friendship is a canon relationship!) these 4 (then eventually 5) little menaces of my heart share, is so very precious. The way these 3 latched onto him, and integrated him into their little group, how Shinichi LITERALLY ACTS LIKE HIMSELF AROUND THEM DESPITE THE KIDS HAVING NO IDEA ABOUT HIS TRUE IDENTITY. HE IS AUTHENTIC AROUND THEM. Also I forgot the number of times the kids called Shinichi out on his BS (like him switching between his adult and child speech patterns when interacting with adults/the police and disappearing acts) and how many times they all get in soooo much trouble because they are lil troublemakers, so curious, never saying no to adventure.

Shinichi is a mentor to them, teaching them about stuff but also their friend. Shinichi is Big Brother material, and the kids know that they can count on him, turn to him in need, and Shinichi cannot help but indulge them, involving them in stuff to an extent, while also trying his damnedest to keep them safe and protect them (even at his own risk and safety, bodily protecting them).

And then you add Ai to the mix, and she gets integrated into their tight-knit little group. Not only Shinichi finally has a connection to the BO with her, but also someone who is in the same situation as himself and someone who needs his protection. (AND SOMEONE WHO TEASES HIM LIKE HE DESERVES IT! AI-SHINICHI BANTER IS SO GOOD! LOVE THEM!) And Ai finds herself not only friends but a family. (Sometimes a family is one middled aged man, 2 fake and 3 real elementary students.)

She encounters unconditional kindness, which melts her cool exterior and as time passes she not only comes to care about these people, but also learns to lower her barriers. And ultimately makes the choice to be with them despite the risks.

You can give me these 5 kids in almost any combination and I would be so happy to see them (and could talk about them for hours without stopping, almost did them in different combinations separately, God, save my soul). Special mention: Mitsuhiko-Shinichi/Conan dynamic gets to me so bad because Mitsuhiko is the most curious of the 3, when it comes to knowledge. He LOVES learning, and applying what he knows (just like a certain someone we know). And Mitsuhiko learns well; he absorbs what Shinichi tells and shows him. (And I love how complex his feelings are about that.) Also the parallel between Heiji and Mitsuhiko, my HEART-

I could go on forever about these children of mine (AYUMI AND MITSUHIKO'S PUPPY CRUSHES ON SHINICHI AND AI RESPECTIVELY, HOW THEY ALL PLAY SOCCER AND HIDE AND SEEK TOGETHER, THEIR LIL ANTICS, HOW THE KIDS LEARN TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES- *GETS SMACKED WITH A PILLOW IN THE FACE*), so have this utterly adorable lil thing to close this section.

⊱✿⊰

II. Vermouth/Chris Vineyard/Sharon Vineyard -Kudou Shinichi/Edogawa Conan (- Mouri Ran)

This is such a delightfully precious and weird dynamic. I don't even know how to describe it, really because 1) there is so little content of this (WHERE IS MY VERMOUTH BACKSTORY/ARC!!! WHERE!!! WHERE IS MORE OF THEM!!! WHERE!!!) relationship in particular and 2) how do you even label something so unusual? Vermouth having such a solid opinion of Shinichi and Ran while the other two are so unsure what is exactly going on. (Shinichi is definitely suspicious of her with GOOD REASOn but also Weirded out I feel while Ran knows even less.) SO BEAUTIFULLY IMBALANCED AND WEIRD.

I guess, in short: Vermouth having a life-altering meeting with these two, only for Shinichi and Ran for it to be The Most Natural Thing?

I JUST LOVE HOW VERMOUTH IS SO FOND OF THESE TWO. (SHE LITERALLY HAS PHOTOS OF THEM!!!) HOW MUCH SHE WANTS THEM TO BE SAFE. SO MUCH SHE EVEN RISKS HER OWN LIFE AND SAFETY.

SO MUCH SHE WOULD SCHEME AND LIE TO KEEP THESE TWO SAFE. (SHE FCKIN!!!! DRAPED HER OWN COAT OVER HIM I'M!!! KDSNVKJSDVNKJSD *SCREAMS AT TOP LUNG CAPACITY* SHE FREAKING MADE AMURO PROMISED NOT TO HARM RAN AND SHINICHI, I'M GOING BONKERS!!!)

SO MUCH SHE WOULD EVEN TURN A GUN AGAINST ANOTHER BO MEMBER, WOULDN'T LET ANYONE ENDANGER THEM NOT EVEN HERSELF.

I'M! SCREAMING!! Love me a morally grey woman with her own agenda.

NOT ONLY THAT BUT SHE WOULD ALSO HELP THEM OUT? HER COVERING FOR THIS GReMLIn i'M DEAD, The WInK-

BUT SHE ALSO WOULD DO THIS:

(THE FREAKING GIRLY RUN SHE DOES AND THE LITTLE HEART, SHE KNOWS SHE'S OPENLY BEING A LIL SHIT TO SHINICHI AND I'M THRIVING-)

THEY ARE HER TREASURES YOUR HONOUR!!!

Each and every interaction with them has me IN ABSOLUTE HYSTERICS, MAKING ME GO CRAZY. For closing this section, I leave you with a (bad quality) gif I made (in a rush) because this part in the anime MAKES ME LOSE IT EVERY TIME. THE SLOW MOTION, THE WAY HE HOLDS HIM BY THE HANDS AND GENTLE WAY SHE SETS SHINICHI DOWN, I CANNOT.

⊱✿⊰

III. Hattori Heiji - Tooyama Kazuha - Mouri Ran - Kudou Shinichi/Edogawa Conan

THE OSAKA DUO (AKA FIRECRACKER PAIR) and the Tokyoites (AKA THE BIGGEST HEIZUHA SUPPORTERS OUT THERE)

I'll be honest, at first I planned to include only Kazuha & Heiji in this but then I started looking for scenes in the manga and got obliterated by my love for the 4 of them. (And yes, I know I already did Heiji & Shinichi in the previous ask, I love them, sue me. Also, i wanted to count "Not dating but married nonetheless" for Heizuha BC THEY ARE, but this ended up as a 4 character thing so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

To make it short: I FREAKING ADORE THEM.

In more detail: Heiji-Kazuha AND Shinichi-Ran both come in sets, DO NOT SEPARATE THEM. Then you put them all together THEY MAKE A WHOLE SET, A UNIT, A SQUAD.

But also there are different combinations: The Detectives And Cursed Bad Luck Duo, The Superstitious Girl Duo, The Not Dating But Married Couple, THE DATING HUSBAND AND WIFE DUO, THE SEPARATE TRIO COMBOS. *RIPS OF CLOTHES AND ROARS* ALL SO VERY GOOD.

THEY ARE JUST SO PRECIOUS TO ME, and they are just So- *CLENCHES FIST* THE BACK AND FORTH TEASING IN ALL KINDS OF COMBINATIONS, THE RUNNING INSIDE JOKE MOMENTS OF KAZUHA SAYING SHINICHI SOLVES CASES FASTER THAN HEIJI (TO HEIJI'S ETERNAL ANNOYANCE), OR HOW THE GIRLS THINK HEIJI AND SHINICHI/CONAN ARE LIKE BROTHERS-

BUT ALSO BEING A WITNESS TO ALL THE WEIRD CONAN-THINGS, OR HOW THE BOYS BOND OVER THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR GIRLS AND THE GIRLS BONDING OVER THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR BOYS, AND BEING THE BIGGEST SUPPORTERS OF EACH OTHER'S HAPPINESS (CONFESSING FEELINGS TO THEIR BELOVEDS).

MY BI ICON KAZUHA, NOT TO MENTION RAN'S CONFESSION IN KANSAI-BEN I'M FERAL, THESE GIRLS LOVE AND CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER (and the boys too, but more on that later) SO DEEPLY, IT'S ENDEARING.

RAN LITERALLY, ON HER SECOND MEETING WITH KAZUHA, NOT ONLY SEEING SHE IS UPSET, BUT ALSO GOING OUT OF HER WAY TO CHEER HER UP I'M!!! BEST GIRL!!! TRULY AN ANGEL!!! (Ya really are a nice girl, Ran, I CONCUR.)

THEN OF COURSE WE CANNOT NOT MENTION THE OSAKAN DUO. THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE AROUND EACH OTHER, it's one of my favourite things, so UNABASHED WITH EACH OTHER IN WAY. They are (not dating BUT) MARRIED YOUR HONOUR, they really are like an old married couple.

Honestly, I Just keep THINKING of them all BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DEAR, I'M SCREAMING-

Also, it's so rarely mentioned but (because there is just so little of it in canon WHICH IS A CRIME, GET ON THE CASE BOYS) SHINICHI/CONAN-KAZUHA IS ESPECIALLY PRECIOUS TO ME, they have such great potential. Every time I SEE THEM INTERACT EVEN FOR A SECOND I GO APESHIT, ABSOLUTELY BONKERS. There is just something about Shinichi calling her "Kazuha" and "Kazuha-chan", the possibility of them BONDING OVER THEIR BELOVEDS AND YEARS OF PINING (because both Heiji and Ran can so oblivious it's endearing) but also bonding over HOW STUPID HEIJI IS AT TIMES, but also how much they both care for him and Ran. My dream is to see Kazuha make/get Shinichi a protective charm (let's be honest, hE NEEDS IT, and Heiji's seems to be sorta effective). There is a parallel there (now only if I could find the post for it). Also Shinichi not only being OK with Kazuha picking him up (LETTING HER!!!) BUT ALSO BEING FINE WITH KAZUHA HOLDING HIM!!! (FOR A WHOLE CONVERSATION!!!)

Also, ShinRan sharing that braincell.

I hope you enjoyed this wild rambling ride, dear Anon, and thank you for asking, I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! May you have a blessed day, darling!

Hiking in New Zealand – an overview of the best Mt Cook hikes

Welcome to my atricle about one of my favorite places in New Zealand: Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. As an avid hiker I went to Mt Cook National Park no less than three times over the past couple of years and despite the number of tourists increasing and the glaciers receding, to me this will always be a magical place. In this article I’ll first share the best Mt Cook hikes with you, followed by my favorite Mt Cook camping sites, other places to stay in Mount Cook Village and basically anything else you need to know before you go. So sit down, relax and enjoy this read about magical Mount Cook New Zealand.    

Hooker Valley Track

My favorite Mount Cook hike is definitely the Hooker Valley Track. I’ve done this hike all three times and I just can’t believe how gorgeous it is. Don’t let the crowds disturb you by the way as even though it may seem busy, I found a way to avoid the crowds – how to do this you can read in my Hooker Valley track blog. The Hooker Valley hike starts at the White Horse Hill Campsite so if you want to make an early start, make sure to pitch your tent up right over there, just like I did!   The Hooker Valley Track is a wide gravel trail, leading you through an alpine valley and across swing bridges. Your final destination is Hooker Lake at the bottom of Mount Cook – the highest mountain in New Zealand. By foot you cannot get any closer than this if you don’t plan on climbing Mount Cook. The return trip will take some 3-4 hours, depending on how fast you walk and how many photos you take. I sure took my time and spent several hours on the trail every single time I hiked it.  

  Kea Point Track

If you have little time but still would like a taste of what to do in Mount Cook, then you will definitely enjoy the Kea Point Track. This short hike is on a well maintained trail and you can either walk it from White Horse Hill camp site (1 hr return) or Mount Cook Village (2 hrs return). Eventually you will arrive to a viewing deck which was made for your convenience, looking out over Mount Sefton, The Footstool, Hooker Valley, Mueller Glacier Lake and Aoraki / Mount Cook.  

  Sealy Tarns

The Sealy Tarns track is also called the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ as it has numerous steps and will make your calves burn without a doubt. You can hike this trail as a part of the hike to Mueller Hut (more on that one below) or as a half day tramp up into the mountains.   The trail leaves from White Horse Hill Camp site and at first you’ll follow the Kea Point Track, when you will eventually find a sign towards Sealy Tarns and Mueller Hut. As mentioned, the majority of the trail is made of stairs, sometimes even and sometimes uneven. Those who easily have painful knees may definitely need a pair of trekking poles!   You gain some 600 meters in altitude and the way up will take you about two hours. Just when you are wondering if the effort is worth it, do continue and walk up, up and even more up! Eventually you’ll reach the beautiful Sealy Tarns and with a bit of luck you can see the glaciers in the back ground reflecting in them. If you’ll look behind you, you’ll see the Hooker Valley and Mount Cook in the distance.  

  Mueller Hut Track

My oh my – it’s a hard choice between the Mueller Hut hike and the Tongariro Crossing which is the most beautiful in the country and I honestly cannot pick one. My Mueller Hut adventure went a little different than planned because for this hike, you are quite dependent on the weather. In poor weather don’t even attempt this hike as it will be dangerous and foolish to head into the alpine part of this hike in foul weather. The Mount Cook weather can be horrendous (trust me!) and so always check with DOC before setting off. In winter you’ll need an ice axe and crampons in order to make this hike!   Having said that, I planned on staying overnight (must book ahead!) but the weather was about to change and so I decided to head out one day early and make it a day hike – a FULL day hike that is. The Mueller Hut Track is a long way up through alpine terrain and is not for those with a fear of heights nor for untrained ones. You’ll need to scramble in some points, will cross various steep scree slopes and need to be extremely careful.   Do you still want to do this now? If yes, then you will be rewarded. A full blog on the Mueller Hut Route is still in the making but as you can see below from my pictures, it’s gorgeous and a must-do if you have enough time (a full day) and the courage to do it.  

  Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier View

The Tasman walks depart from the parking lot at the end of the road into Tasman Valley – another scenic valley a bit further away from Mount Cook Village. Before you get very excited about the name Blue Lakes – don’t be! The Blue Lakes are anything but blue, they used to be in the past though and the name remained even though they are far from blue at this time.   There are various small lakes to check out and eventually you’ll climb up to a moraine wall from where you’ll have stunning views of Tasman Glacier in the distance. Tasman Glacier is the longest glacier in New Zealand but is receding fast, it already seemed a whole lot shorter than my last visit in 2011. The way back is on the same trail.  

  Tasman Glacier Lake

If you want to see icebergs then make this hike a priority. It’s not guaranteed you can see icebergs from nearby however there is a fair chance. The track veers off the Tasman Glacier View at some point and will add about an hour to your hike. If you want to hike the whole bit here at Tasman Glacier and Tasman Lake, plan some 2-3 hours including time for pictures.  

  Mount Cook Village walks

As I haven’t stayed in Mt Cook Village personally, I haven’t done all the village walks since most of them are quite short. I’ve done the Kea Point Track from here though which connects Mt Cook Village with White Horse Hill Camp Ground (30 minutes one way) and the short 10 minute Bowen Bush Walk. Alternatively, there are the Red Tarns Track, the Governors Bush Track and the Glen Coe walk that can be done from the village.    

Where to stay in Mount Cook

If you want to camp in the national park, then the best option is White Horse Hill Camp Ground. I camped here and it’s a first come, first serve campground maintained by DOC. The fee per night is NZD 13 and there are spaces for campervans as well as grassy spots for tents. Other than a shelter with running water and toilets, there are no facilities at this camp site.   If you’d like to stay in a bit more civilized camp site then I can recommend staying at Glentanner. I also stayed here a couple of times and this camp site has amazing views of Mount Cook. It offers all facilities you will need, from hot showers to a cooking area and very slow wifi. Make sure to book ahead as it’s usually quite full in summer season, we got the last spot upon arrival. We actually wanted to stay in nearby Twizel but all campsites were fully booked. You can check rates and book your spot online here.   If you are not camping, you can stay in a hotel or motel in Mt Cook Village but prices can be quite high as accommodation is limited. Alternatively, you’ll find cheaper options in nearby Twizel or Lake Tekapo. Note that these are quite popular spots too and when I stayed here (March) everything was fully booked well in advance, so make sure to book well ahead!    

Other things to know about Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park

Mount Cook is quite isolated so it’s smart to bring all you need before you drive off to Mount Cook Village and beyond. This includes gas, groceries and cash. The White Horse Hill Campsite does not have electricity but you can leave your electronics at the DOC office and charge them there for a small fee. The DOC office can provide you with all necessary information regarding the hikes, campsites and more. Their visitors center is one of the best in New Zealand and on a rainy day you can easily spend a few hours there looking around. Looking for a hiking map of Mount Cook? You can download the online Mount Cook hikes brochure here.

Practice (Sparky)

In response to Gina’s most recent post, yes, this positivity thing is a practice. That fact is a pain in the ass. Who wants to practice when it’s so much easier to feel shitty and hate people? But as your brain forms new neural pathways, it will be easier. I can’t believe I’m saying that. But that’s also a fact. Anyway.

1. The SF Public Library has a late fee forgiveness program that goes on until February. This came just in time as I racked up $11.70 in late fines and couldn’t renew my books anymore because I exceeded the $10 limit. I am usually very good at avoiding late fines, but back when I was super duper depressed I didn’t have the energy to log in to renew my borrowed items. I didn’t even care, to be honest. While I know the public libraries need as much money as they can get, I am grateful for this forgiveness program. 

Lesson: Either they really want their overdue items back, or they just want people to have access to all these awesome books again. I’d like to believe it’s the latter, that mankind generally wants to disperse knowledge and share in the joys of reading and learning. 

2. I had lunch with Fiddlesticks today (Rocky had work). I was worried she would frown upon my newfound (or perhaps rediscovered) desire for adventure and the belief that I was meant to find my purpose through doing crazy things. She’s a practical person, was never into the whole “the Universe has your back” thing (but neither was I), and personally isn’t a fan of doing crazy shit. When we were dating, we had dreams, and they were sometimes crazy, but we dreamed together and believed our future would be glorious. One of those dreams was to move to Europe, which actually happened. Since we split up and she began dating Rocky, my imagination has continued to run rampant while she focused on more grounded, conventional goals like home ownership, car maintenance, and 401ks. 

After she gave her updates, I sat there spewing about my upcoming travel plans, this “calling” I have to leave the country and explore, the book I’m writing, all the self-help shit I’ve been absorbing, and what the Universe has been telling me (which includes the notion that The One is out there, like, somewhere far away, and we are only awaiting the right circumstances to bring us together. Like Switzerland or Sweden). Then I braced myself for some pragmatism, but instead she said, “Nothing’s stopping you so go for it.” I was surprised.

Lesson: It’s very easy to make assumptions about how people are going to react. I mean, some people never surprise you, which can be both a good and bad thing. But just because someone doesn’t personally agree with your choices doesn’t mean they won’t support you. Taking that risk by revealing your dreams is scary. And having someone tell you your dreams are unrealistic is even worse. But those people just don’t know what they’re talking about.

3. Guys, I need to brag about something. I have officially beaten last year’s numbers for films watched. Last year I watched 31 movies in theaters, a rather sad number considering that I usually reach the high 30s. I still haven’t beaten my record, made in 2006 when I watched 44 movies in theaters. Anyway, yesterday I watched the 32nd one, and it’s not over yet!

There is a point to all this, and here it is: movies are one of the most important things in my life. They help me relate to the real world and to myself. Some studios are simply out to make the big bucks, but I know for a fact that many filmmakers actually have stories to tell and messages to convey.

Lesson: Some filmmakers know that movies are not only supposed to be for entertainment. After all, nobody is exactly entertained when watching a depressing film, but we watch them nevertheless. It’s great we have creative people out there who aren’t afraid to tell those stories. It’s also great when positive, empowering themes and messages are inserted in huge blockbusters. Sometimes that’s just what we need as a reminder that not everything is going to be horrible, that there is still hope. 

4. My Uber driver last night did not try to talk to me. Thank God. I’ve had drivers who kept talking and talking when I clearly was not interested in engaging in conversation.

Lesson: Some people just get it. Yay to those people who know when to give others space.

5. Penelope thought it was fucked up that “Laura” didn’t want a Harry Potter-themed wedding. Penelope thought it was a brilliant idea. Another friend, Beemus, had a friend who had a Dr. Who wedding. I’ve seen pictures for weddings with themes such as: Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones (does anything good happen in GoT??), Hunger Games (but why?!), Alice in Wonderland, Star Wars, Disney, travel, seasons, camp, etc. But no, Laura did not like any of those. No themed weddings, she said. Too cheesy and not unique, she said. 

Guys, I’ll have you know that my Harry Potter ideas were NOT cheesy, and they were goddamn unique. Everyone would be sorted into Houses and seated accordingly. They would all get robes corresponding to their Houses. There would be (electric) candles hanging from the ceiling. I thought about having live owls flying overhead but that’s not very safe or sanitary. I was going to rent a fucking castle in Scotland or England. Actually, I had wanted the Natural History Museum in London. All utensils will be designed by me. They’ll be wooden and the handles carved to look like wand handles. Anyway, Penelope liked this. And I’m sure a billion other people would too.

Lesson: There are full-grown adults who do not think these things dumb. Laura clearly did, and I hate her. Yes, I hate her even though this is a blog about not hating people. However, I do not hate the ones out there who have a child-like wonder about them, who still believe in magic, and who can appreciate themed celebrations. Apparently, such people exist. They’re just not Laura.
