Mihawk trying to teach Zoro his cardinal directions:

Mihawk: *standing outside one morning* Okay, Zoro, in what direction is the sun rising?

Zoro: *pointing, and staring directly into the sun* That one.

Mihawk: ....Zoro, stop doing that.

Zoro: *retinas smoking*

Mihawk: *sighs* Okay, the sun rises in the east. It moves in a straight line across the sky, setting on the opposite side. So if it rises in the east, it sets in the.....?

Zoro: ....Weest?

Mihawk: *utterly defeated* I'm going to have a drink...

Perona: It's 7:30am?

Mihawk: *indecipherable muttering*

2026 NHL GLOBAL SERIES™️ JAPAN - Presented by YPPI

November 13 & 14, 2026: Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, Seattle Kraken, Vancouver Canucks

Saitama Super Arena, Saitama, Japan

It’s a pitiful excuse of a consolation prize for not being able to go to the Olympics, but Kailer’s not going to look a vacation horse in the mouth. The arena’s cool. It’s huge. The people are cool. There’s so many more of them than he thought there’d be with jerseys that have his name on the back, and a lot more that have the familiar orange and blue. He takes a picture of the fifth Oilers Yamamoto jersey he signs—this one’s the good Reverse Retro—and texts it to Connor, says,

no one here has even heard of mcjesus

and gets a moon face emoji in response. Leon’s influence. Kailer’s still never really deciphered what that one means, and he doesn’t think Connor knows either.

They don’t have a lot of time off between games, but Kailer’s trying to be a good tourist. His dad had been so happy when Kailer had told him about the series that Kailer’d had to stop him from trying to book a flight a year in advance, and his mom’s been just as bad, sending him every article she sees about Best New Spot in Tokyo! Cool Restaurant! Have You Seen This Japanese Cat Café? that she scrolls across on Facebook since June. Suzy’s in the same boat, so they’ve been crossing off their compiled travel-guide list together, looping in as many guys as they can. Everyone’s been pretty game. All the teams are crammed into close quarters at the same hotel, which means everyone wants to spend as much time as possible outside of it, and it helps that Kailer’s gotten pretty close with all the other guys that the NHL picked up as Global Series figureheads. Robo’s memes? Absolutely fire. The groupchat loves them.

For every item he crosses off the list, Kailer takes a picture and keeps it tucked in his phone notes. It’s like speed-running a scavenger hunt—they’re only here for four days—but he’s doing a pretty good job. His favorite so far has been all the gardens. They’re stunning, trees shining bright red and yellow, and every vendor has been selling maple candies, maple cakes, and even fried maple, though the official maple festival doesn’t start until next week. The second garden he visits, he does it on his own after practice, buying two cakes from a cart near the gate and walking until he loses the bustle outside. It’s easy to get lost in the winding pathways, heading deeper into the quiet, and there’s dozens of benches underneath the burnished leaves where young couples are tucked away on dates, or old friends are laughing and catching up. In some of the little clearings, there’s small shrines where people leave offerings, a prayer for good luck or good fortune.

Kailer stops at one without any people and sets the second maple cake on top of it, then sits and scrolls through all the texts that he’s missed. His mom gets replied to with a picture of him outside the garden gate, grinning and surrounded by other travelers. He sends his brother a picture of a trashy graphic I Love Japan t-shirt with the threat that he’ll buy one for him, and Kailer’s dad gets a picture of the meticulously arranged and cut bonsai that are across from the bench where he’s sitting. The Seattle groupchat gets a recycled meme from Robo, and he gets two thumbs up and an “LMAO” before he can even exit the thread. Finally, Kailer takes a picture of the half-eaten maple cake in his hand, holding it next to a fallen maple leaf on the bench, and gets halfway through typing another message before he thinks better of it.

(On the plane over, Drieds was reading them a story about how when they first introduced the high-speed railway, people were afraid to use it because they thought it would be too fast for their souls to keep up.

“Bro, if that were true, you just left your soul in the middle of the Pacific,” Ebs had laughed. “Planes are faster than trains.”

“Are they?” Matty asked. “Isn’t the train in Japan the fastest in the world?”

Drieds couldn’t make it through the rest of the story over the sound of everyone ripping Matty to shreds, so Kailer didn’t get to ask whether or not they found out anything about planes. Kailer’s not worried about his soul, but the logic makes a strange kind of sense; after all, he traveled 429 miles in five and a half hours once, and that was a little too fast for his heart to keep up.)

Fuck it. Kailer’s been trying to write a response for the past ten days, and he’s sick of swiping in and out of the message, staring at the keyboard so long he starts to see swirls in his vision.

Kailer drafts the text again and sends it, no context, no caption. A text travels faster than a high-speed train or a jet. Maybe it’ll pick his heart back up on the way.

TW for the peeps who have a phobia of bugs!

If it not too much (and if your able/up to it), can you make an audio of Frank maybe kinda ranting to Y/N (or another neighbor, like Eddie) about butterflies, or insects in general?

The silly lil man has grabbed my heart, and he and Wally are fighting for control over my brainworms

Aww of course!! I totally didn't have to Google "top 10 facts about butterflies" to do this ahahaa..-

‼️please go support Frank's (and wally's!) ACTUAL voice actor, @DaFrankiestein!🩷🩷🩷‼️

The art & characters used are by clown/party coffin!🩷Go support them and donate to their Kofi of you can!

Subtitles, Frank speaking: Oh! Hello neighbor, I'm.. Surprised you're coming to talk to me! What's up?? [pause] You want to hear me.. Talk about butterflies?! Wait.. Really?! Oh thank you!! Thank you thank you thank you! Alright, uhm, yes! Oh! Okay so first of all! One of my favorites, monarch butterflies! They are so so gorgeous, that amazing design on them! oh!! Did you know, out there in the world there are over 20,000 species of butterflies!! I know! It is just so fascinating! Oh, not only that! But they have these tiny little hands to just- I know, right?! Oh They are so beautiful! So graceful too! Up close they can look rather scary, but they are gorgeous creatures of nature! Wouldn't you agree?? Oh that is wonderful!! [chuckle] I can't wait to tell you all about butterflies! And other insects if you'll allow me?? Thank you neighbor!!

[mirakurutaimu]

I know it's a little silly but you having merch makes me real giddy. Like damn I remember the early day streams and look at this imp now!! She got merch! Imp become big!! It's super fun to see. I hope the Mimi plushies come back in the future, bank account was too desolate to snag one now.

hell yeah homie 💜 thanks for all the support over the years!!!

actually, my third anniversary of streaming was THIS WEEK!!! i just forgot about it lmao!!!

some brief thoughts and words on that below the cut

(and maybe someday i'll be able to release a plushie again... maybe cooler stuff... we'll see!!!)

damn remember read mores? i can't believe this site is still around

anyways.

this week marks my third anniversary as a full-time streamer! well, I say "full-time streamer" but honestly I'm not very consistent (or good) at it lmao. don't get me wrong, I love streaming, love hanging out with the chatroom stoners and shooting the shit while playing games or whatever and I'm eternally thankful that I get to pay my bills thanks to the generosity of kindly stoners online. you guys are the best!!! (for the record, none of this is intended to come across as self-deprecating or baiting engagement or anything, I am simply speaking objectively and truthfully)

I feel like my lifestyle (and combination of rotating hyperfixations + debilitating attention problems lmfao) doesn't conduct itself well to being a ""Good"" streamer y'know? can't rightly schedule streams because I never know what kinda vibe a future day is going to have, can never decide what I'd even stream ahead of time, can't stream at a consistent time of day due to tumultuous changes in sleep schedule, can't plan or organize Big Fancy Event streams due to attention problems (tabletop stream coming Soon™️™️™️™️™️), all I ever stream is Defense of the Ancients 2 (I'm sorry my brainworms from my teenage years came back I prommy I'll stream something else. at some point. eventually. maybe. probably. definitely)

despite all that dumb shit, you guys have stuck with me! you're the best!

over the years, my community has helped me pay my bills, helped me move across the planet, helped me better come to terms with long-ruminated thoughts on my gender identity, helped me with hella inspiring art and fan works, inspired me to focus on and improve my own creative endeavors, etc. etc. etc. etc. I truly can't thank you guys enough for the joy you all bring to my life every day!!!!!!

my job title is "Streamer" but in truth, the most important part of this job to me has always been building and maintaining a stable, comfortable community where folks of marginalized identities and the like can come together in a judgement-free chill zone to hang out and inspire each other in. my Discord server is my pride and joy! I love hosting random, unannounced watch parties of the same 5 cartoons at 4:20 AM with you guys, I love hanging out and working on art with you guys, love seeing your art of your characters, etc. etc. it makes me happy that I've been able to provide a cool lil corner of the internet for folks to have a good time in.

so uhhh anyways rambling aside. you folks rule and I'm glad I get to maintain such a cool spot online. dunno where I was going with this other than that. here's to many more years of hanging out and ripping the bong my dudes 🤘👽⚗️

to quote my man chipp zanuff's theme,

BE FREE 'TIL YOU DIE

[bucketofbugz]

Alright guys I'm sorry, none of you probably care about Grounded at all becuase it's just the stupid little bug game but the brainworms have got to me like they do every couple of weeks and it's gonna be something I post about for a while.

I like to put my silly lil guys through the horrors and shrinking them and putting them into a backyard filled with bugs that wanna kill them is a great way to do that!!

[celestialwhoree]

Not a request but I just wanted to tell you that I love every time you post and everything you write about.

I’ve recently entered the COD fandom and the x reader is even newer for me, usually I relax after my long day at work with them to escape a lot. Your blood is my top 3 to frequent and always look forward to your little drabbles, thoughts, and fics

Thank you for them! I love your lil wrinkly brain and hope you have days where you feel well and continue to have those days! <3

-Mimi 💛

Hello darling!!! This is so so very sweet mwah! Welcome to the fandom! I'm not sure if this was meant for me or someone else as I've never written Your Blood🥴 If it is though thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm glad you enjoy my little silly brainworms 💕🎀🫶

[incorrectronancequotes]

Snippet -

It’s been a while since he’s been caught off guard like this, he’s been getting good at somewhat sensing when he was nearby. When he was caught up in the heat of battle, it was hard to get out of it, so he was good at staying alert for his unofficial trainer. He knows better than to run, at least this time. He could handle a fight, even one with Majima. Kiryu comes to a stop, taking a deep breath to prepare for whatever was going to come his way.

What he hadn’t expected was for his mentor to fly past him instead. Shiny fabric caught his eye, as did the way Majima caught up to him so fast and so smoothly. It’s hard to see why though when silver and pink flood his vision, and it clicks that he’s looking at a skirt, not pants. A glance up shows not black hair, but a blonde ponytail held up by a large pink bow. Even from behind, he knows Goromi when he sees her. It’s already making his heart race. Goromi didn’t come out in public often, and certainly not like this.

bwwaaAAAAHH first time doing this in a while, i wanted to actually post this one to ao3 instead of it just being a silly drabble. those will be kept here, like the streamer au one. please leave a comment and kudos if you enjoy, this one is a lil spicy but kept sfw. i don't think i'll make an nsfw sequel, but who knows. maybe! these guys give me brainworms, many horni brainworms. goromi especially, ugh my queen... had to stop myself from digging into her gender stuff, but i do hc her as very genderfluid and refer to her only as she/her in this. my wife, the heel on my neck, the baseball bat to my face. enjoy!!

[miks-fantrolls]

hi :3 soooooo which character(s) do you have the most muse/thoughts for and what do you like writing abt them the most?

THATS A GOOD QUESTION! i havent had a lot of time to think abt my characters in a while (´ー｀)

HOWEVER.

i think i end up having a muse for brusli, antemh, or dadevu most of the time. brusli and dadevu more for actual writing, whereas antemh has always just kind of been. a brainworm. hes just kind of always there.

i can see a lot of myself in brusli, antemh, and dadevu. there's a lot of coping mechanisms that have gone into them.

in hindsight, writing antemh was a huge coping mechanism for me growing up (made him ~2013? maybe even 2012), but as ive gotten older and left the environment i was in, hes kind of just turned into a silly lil guy for me. i guess maybe he's still somewhat a reflection of me even now--a guy who, despite having every reason to be bitter and miserable, still persists and stays silly.

to answer the second question, that's what my favorite part of writing him is. i think most people would assume he's pretty much a comic relief character, which wouldnt be wrong, but its easy to see happy-go-lucky characters and assume theyre more two-dimensional than characters who wear their troubles on their sleeve.

this also kind of (realizing as i write) reflects my own experience with being autistic. theres an unintentional assumption on others' parts where they assume, because i'm playful and choose to put on a happy face, that those are my only qualities. it's kind of hard to articulate to non-autistic people, so it's more IYKYK. a common complaint from adult autistic ppl though is we have a hard time getting people to take/treat us seriously like the adults we are, or at least treat us like our age.

brusli has a little bit of my middle school self in her. she's a bit more of a tomboy and she likes girls (which is more of a defining trait in an AU human brusli than troll brusli). a large amount of my brain power is dedicated to brusli/sarlla (sarlla belonging to @beantrolls) ship content because im obsessed w/ their relationship. i'm not sure why, but if i generally had to describe the nature of their relationship (again, this is moreso human au-specific, but there's elements of it in their troll relationship), it's sort of a trans&lesbian inversion of the manic pixie dream girl trope.

what i like about writing brusli is the emotions. when i'm emotionally struggling, she and antemh are usually the characters i turn to, depending on the mood. brusli is a little more visibly Sadgirl on this blog than she is in the comic, mostly because i kind of have her on that Tumblr Truth Serum here, where its assumed that an asker already has a somewhat established relationship with her. otherwise, she would kind of be boring to roleplay here, because canonly, she's alienated herself from most people and doesnt socialize much

*I ANSWERED THIS FOREVER AGO THEN TRIED TO SAVE IT AS A DRAFT AND TUMBLR ATE IT. BUT NOW ITS BACK. GOD DAMN. i think i was gonna say something about dadevu but its been forever so idk anyumore.

[sw4tch]

Today the brainworm impulses won. I went out to the mall and snooped around the toy sections bcus I was hoping to find tf figures (bcus well Yeah. Yeah I do want me a lil robot figurine). And mostly what they had in stock were the rise of the beasts line (which hm. I’ll say it, the designs are WACK and mostly cheap looking.) [also they only ever have bee, megs and optimus. Like cmon they don’t even have my boy mirage. MEGS WASNT EVEN IN THE MOVIE]

Anyway- I was surprised to find that one store had the ES line and I went “oh?” What’s my girly Twitch doing over here” and so I searched around the boxes and I Found Him. My Beloved. My Evil Wife. In Perfectly Cute Plastic Form. Actually I was surprised just how good the quality was. And how cute he was. So I Knew. I Knew He Had To Be Mine.

But also he was Pricey so first I went through the entire mall and bought the things I was there for in the first place and I was like “ok if, AND ONLY IF, you end the day with enough budget left, we will go back and Get It”

and GUESS WHAT! they had a bunch of discounts on the clothes I was supposed to buy so I spent less money than expected. SO AFTER a very nice shopping time- I went back to that store and got… Him.

Behold… MY SILLY (and first tf figure…!)

ES shockwav3 is so adorable and i loveeee his legsies and how poseable he is!! He has a little blaster!! He’s ready to commit war crimes!! YOU CAN MOVE HIS FINEALS so he can go from Neutral Kitty to Attack Kitty.

Overall, I’m super extremely happy with my purchase. In fact I am so happy that now my goal is to get all of the deceptic0n high command from this particular line (but I gotta check if they even made st4rscream and s0undwave for this line yet)

Anyway. Had a good day today \(^w^)b \< o >/

[starrystevie]

Hello, I have read 2 of your steddie ficlets in a row and I just want to say you have made my brainworms worse and I thank you kindly for it!

You have a true talent and I appreciate you sharing it with us here in Steddie Nation 🫡

(this was sent a while ago and i never got around to answering it i am SO sorry!!)

this is so so so sweet to hear and i appreciate it more than you know! nothing like a little bit of steddie brainworms to get you through the day. thank you so much for reading my silly lil things <3 i'm glad you've enjoyed them

[projecttirnanog]

I HAVE POLLS EHEE

u’d be more than welcome to invite ppl ofc and i was just hoping it could be a chill lil casual space which hopefully won’t be as intimidating as some other gg servers out there (i promise i am a very pathetic guy) but um !!! idk . maybe i will maybe i wont i just like talking to ppl w similar brainworms to me ! lmk :)

[fstbmp-a]

More intimidated people than I expected.. but I'm glad some of ny'all get I'm just a silly-billy, haha...

But no, I'm not scary, I promise! I'm just a lil' gal with the brainworms and an intense desire to come up with character concepts, y'know? I'm glad I'm not that intimidating, though.

[russilton]

auughghhh i got so many brainworms from your rb!george au. i might need to reread ur au summary for it multiple times bc it's just. so good. the way that man's a BRAT but he's gone through a lot + is still treated disrespectfully by his team and the way he'll get a whole character arc where he shifts to merc like HELLOOOO.

++ are you shadowbanned? :0 ik a lot of f1blr peeps gets shadowbanned at some point, i even did around the spanish gp, but if u need help un-shadowbanning urself there's this post to help!! - @ruszhou

HELL YEAH IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT. RB George is an utter brat and it’s not ENTIRELY his fault, RB breeds toxic emotions like rabbits invading Australia. They actively culture george to think of himself as the next big thing, even alongside max, their “golden boy” who they’d throw to the curb the second he stopped performing. Junior RB George learns being kind will get him screwed, and his family had to go through a lot to get him into serious karting, so he’s both determined bc he thinks he’s genuinely that good, and because he can’t stop now or what was the point?

So far the fic has been split into quarters in which George goes through bitchy character development. Part one? Slutty little asshole, terror, bane of Lewis’ life even if he’s a fantastic fuck. He exists to tease Lewis till Lewis fucks him into a wall and slutshames him a lil, what a whore. But he’s at least happy, till part two where George gets slapped with the reminder he’s the teams second driver and he needs to get in line, so he’s an angry fuck who’s seeking Lewis out more for his own stress release than to tease Lewis. Part three… well Red bull don’t take kindly to cocky little twinks outshining their overpaid number one… GEORGE HAS A BAD TIME and I’m so ready to both write George pain AND cathartically make RB evil. Plus Lewis has begun realising he misses fighting George and yeah he’s a bitch but he’s lewis’ bitch and seeing him so despondent makes Lewis angry and possessive in a WHOLE new way

++ YUP, right after my silly season post went up I suddenly couldn’t respond to anything, send posts, or anything. It confused the shit outta me till my gf made a side blog and just, COULDN’T see any of my interactions with her posts.

I submitted 2 different support tickets on Sunday and now I have to just spin in circles and twiddle my thumbs. I HATE it hahah, it gets directly in the way of my ability to bother people. I’ll give them till tomorrow before I send another, I just hate that I don’t even get a “hey to confirm we have ur ticket” email.
