(WIP) I love when I accidentally draw a good composition.... needs fixing but... I slayed I fear

#carols.txt #old people bring out the best of me #idk what the context of this art is btw i was just being insane yesterday night #what needs fixing is his fucking hat and head position #the day i learn to draw thin man's hat is the day i can finally fucking rest in fucking peace fuck #anyway . i recently noticed the very rare times i draw the lady being playful is when i draw her with tm #now i wonder. is it because hes her special chum chum buddy or is it because i myself am insane #(looks into the mirror) what are you doing

idk how to explain it really but the difference in stage confidence from soul punk to stardust era of patrick feels so. different. like for soul punk it felt like a front for someone who wasn't doing well behind the scenes. the flashy suits and tight gloves and a literal costume. the extra vocalizations and dancing and movement. and dont get me wrong!!! I love that!!! I love soul punk patrick with my entire heart!!!!! but looking at how he is now on stage, his confidence feels so much more natural. he feels so much more relaxed and comfortable doing things like moving around the stage during heaven iowa and last of the real ones and just. being SO SMILEY all the time. I genuinely don't think I've seen a photo of Patrick not smiling or laughing during tourdust.

something something tour of healing and love something something "oh nostalgia I don't need you anymore"

#idk how to really explain what i mean other than #soul punk confidence felt like a mask while tourdusy confidence feels so real and genuine #the sp confidence was REAL. it wasnt faked or anything.#but i feel like patrick used that confidence to shy away from how he felt washed up at 29 years old and how #-he was feeling suicidal for a bit (genuinely i cannot read that blog post of his it makes me feel so sick. )#but tourdust feels like he really has healed and moved on and now hes just up there. with his best friends in the whole world. playing music #for the people he loves (his fans)#and hes bringing his other best friends along with him #fall out boy #fob #patrick stump #soul punk #tourdust #so much for (tour) dust

I mean I’ll still be nice to them #but I just don’t think I can bring myself to like them anymore sorryyy . not really . but kind of #idk if I’m overreacting . in elementary school though people would make jokes actually about me eating dog and it always made me really sad #but I never held it against them cause we were children #but now I feel like you’re old enough to know what you’re laughing at..#wow ok this really derived away from me being on tumblr and having just ate the worlds best ramen #well . not really I mean it was good but I’m allergic to normal noodles and I need to eat rice noodles and they’re not bad I just don’t lik #them as much Lol #I feel like my actual posts say nothing but if anyone ever reads the tags they probably know everything about me..#I use tumblr to complain half the time loll and I used to post my drawings more but I haven’t made any good drawings recently😭😭😭BUT WAIT!#i have a comic I’ll post in October we’ll see how far I am in it by then…#im like . halfway done with chapter oneeeee so maybe like I’ll post all of chapter one on hallowern.. how does that sound… cause actually #for those of you who don’t know my story has ghosts in it #im like trying to keep it a little silly right now but the tone might shifftttt idk!!!!! we’ll seeeeeeee cause actually I have NOT worked #out the entire plot.. just like. most of it.#but I keep having ideas like midway through ughhh it’s an endless cycle!!!!!#like Francis . she used to be a random character who shows up once but then I was like . wait no! anjali should have ghost friends! and tha #that’s how Francis came to be #and actually today I kind of finalized her design^_^ albeit in my math notebook lol

I AGREE its so crazy how zap gags weren't a thing.... like TTCC really popped off with that one! i understand TTR is moreso sticking closer to the way TTO was but WOW zap just feels so natural with a REALLY good mechanic that uses strategy in using squirt and its just so good.... also my favorite track

YEEEPP!! That's how I feel about it. Squirt and zap just mix well together. I also think the addition of an 8th gag track was also a good move, allowing for a nice rotation of combinations (like how lure-trap and throw-drop are together as a combo). And also its a nice even number. I also think it helps utilize squirt, idk just feels good to do in general. Of course, I don't really have anything to compare this to and it's just me speaking as a player of (currently) one server, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

It's my favorite too, zap warriors UNITE!!

#clemask #clemramble #this is also not me hating on tt r either #actually i probably dont have to space that out because this is going to appear in word search anyways but still #i know sometimes there's a little bit of competition (is that what youd call it)? between the two servers. i want it to be stated that #i do not care about server comp. play what you want. who cares. i think both servers have their pros and cons and finding value in what YOU #like is more important than which one is the “”best“”. I think TR does an amazing job of taking TTO and transforming it into something more #while also staying true to the original game. i love the fact it brings some of the old concepts that were originally scrapped or lost #i also like the toon events that they have. like there was the halloween one and if i believe correctly it had a parade in it?#SUPPPERR COOL. i shouldve atleast played a little during that time just to experience it. but to be fair during the school year my #playing in general is toned down a lot. im sure everyone reading this knows how it is #and obviously i like ttcc. it has mac and winn. i mean what who said that.theres a ghost in here....#and i can understand why people like or dont like each server. they all have pros and cons. but to me its like the two cakes image #sorry i felt the need to clarify bc i know im kindof exclusively a ttcc guy and me going 'ummmm well tt r doesnt have zap' might sound #like im hashtag hating but im not. tt r is awesome ok. i need to try it out one day.#i just really like zap as a gag. like anon stated i think it just really feels natural to the game #that water electric combo does wonders

I'm at the painful "confession" scene during the kage summit arc. It really is so emotional, but also... hm.

When I was younger, like 13 or so, I was a big Sakura and Naruto shipper. They were the first pairing I read fanfic for even. And in a way, I do still enjoy the two of them together... but it's moments like these that really drive home the fact that it Doesn't really work in canon. Not the way that it's set up.

As Sakura puts it, "Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke! That's all you think about!"

She's told that Naruto has feelings for her and decides to use it to convince him to stop going after Sasuke. She does love him, but not in the way she's trying to confess. The love they share is one of comradery, not necessarily romantic. The love of two people who have gone through such pain together, and who have leaned on each other throughout it all. And the fact that she's turning around and saying she loves him "simply like everyone else", now... it's trivializing. And the fact that she's trying to convince him of this, the fact that she thinks she Can convince him of this, is pretty hurtful. They've come a long way from when they were kids, Naruto the goofball vying for her attention while she yelled at him for being stupid. Sakura respects Naruto so much more than before, and Naruto respects her too. So the fact that she's still doing this... She's desperate, really. She thinks the promise he made to her to bring Sasuke home is what's driving him to let himself be hurt over and over and over again in the pursuit and protection of Sasuke.

But she's wrong.

That may be part of it, but it's only part. Naruto wants Sasuke back for himself, too. He let himself be beat up to avoid selling him out. He chases after him with single minded determination. Sasuke is his entire drive to get stronger, to catch up, to bring him home. Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke indeed.

As it is, Naruto knows she's lying to herself. And no matter what she says, he will keep going after Sasuke. Because that's just the person that Naruto is.

#speculation nation #fanny watches naruto #i think. naruto and sakura could potentially work out... but probably in a poly kind of situation.#because naruto will never forget about sasuke. and tbh neither will sakura. at least in canon.#of course i think sakura would do well to end up with someone more level headed. like ino.#someone without all the Complications that those two have...#but at the same time. i still do really love the idea of two people supporting one another through thick and thin.#i like naruto and sakura as a pairing of mutual respect. which is why it doesnt truly work as it is in canon.#especially when it comes to things like the 'joke' punches. but that's Everywhere in this anime.#female characters' anger being turned into jokes. theyre 'scary' but its not Actually scary.#naruto taking punch after punch from her for being foolish. yet it's all just a joke.#tbh id want to do away with that trope entirely. sakura has a temper but she's a good person. a kind soul.#i dont like that kishimoto has her being casually abusive with one of her best friends.#yet another part of the misogynistic writing that i hate.#sure enough. as it is in canon it just doesnt work. but ykno what. 13 year old me is still here. and wants to think of a way that it Could.#all things to think about. i wonder if there is any poly fic with the 3 of them. theres Gotta be.#though that brings the question of whether it'd even fit my ideal concept of the 3 of them.#it's certainly not the popular kind of thing lol. most people pick one of the three pairings between them.#but ya kno what. ive always been a multishipper. and poly ships really enable that truth of mine.#maybe i'll look for some poly fic sometime. just to see if theres anyone doing it like id wanna see.#if it's just two guys fighting over one girl or something tho im Outta there.#and ALSO theres something to be said for sasuke and sakura's relationship when they were kids.#there was trust there. confiding. he respected her. & in the end. he thanked her for her care.#cant be Just the two of them tho. for me. bc that erases naruto's significance to them both.#it is perhaps another thing i'll want to write someday. just maybe.

fuck akuroku as a ship btw not only because its pedophilic because thats obviously a huge issue. but also i think we should be able to have platonic relationships with the same amount of devotion as any romance. not everyone who loves each other is in love DEREK.

#not trying to downplay the issues with it being pedophilic because thats actually a huge issue #context for my non kh moots #as of kh3 lea/axel is roughly late 20s #maybe early 30s depending on how old he was in bbs #and roxas is (physically) 14-16 (hes only been alive for a bit over a year #but also what i want to say #axel and roxas have an amazingly written relationship #theyre two of the strongest characters in the series in terms of writing honestly #their dynamic in canon is two best friends who at the end of the day just want to stay together #but due to circumstances and also a bit of axel keeping secrets shit falls apart #when you get to kh2 roxas is gone and axel will do literally ANYTHINNG to bring him back #he doesnt care about his own life or soras or anyone else who stands in his way because he is going to get his friend back #axels role as an antagonist later in kh2 comes from his devotion #he wants roxas back. he says himself he wanted to see roxas again because he made him feel as though he had a heart #in the end he gives up and dies to protect sora #and i think a lot of people take 'he made me feel like i had a heart' out of context to say its romantic #at face value its easy to interpret it that way but in context he goes on to say 'its funny... you make me feel the same' to sora #the way i interpreted it at least wasnt that he was in love but that both roxas and sora's love for others radiated onto him #if we look at days (i know. sacrelige for a kh2 discussion. fuck you) axel is constantly questioning why roxas acts like he has a heart #he straight up asks him why he does that and roxas is confused. thats just how he is #<- context for that conversation is that roxas is upset on xions behalf because saïx called her a mistake #what he means by 'having a heart' is feeling things and caring about things and there is no inherent romantic connotation #he means in the most literal sense that roxas made him care about things. we dont know what exactly that was referencing in kh2 #but we can take a pretty good fucking guess #but lets look at com for a second because theres a scene talking about the other half of that line #axel goes behind everyones back to do something to help sora and naminé and after he does he is SHOCKED to realize hes enjoying it #and then he says 'you really ARE something!' about sora #at least as of kh2 what they meant was feeling emotions. roxas made axel feel as though he had emotions. he made him feel like he could feel #anyways. what im saying is axels line could be taken as something romantic but i think its more interesting than that #i dont have enough tags left to continue word vomiting sorry </3

uhh. uhhhhh

#realistically i knw that if i went thru with making animatics for all of these songs I think my hand would fall off BUT. i have brainrot #half of these songs are either here bc of the vibe or because i listened to the lyrics and read analyses and put 2 much effort than i had t #ALSO LISTEN. LISTEN BODYBAG IS EXACTLY EVERYTHING I IMAGINE WHENEVER I THINK OF WUKONG AND MACAQUES RELATIONSHIP OK #two birds and baby hotline is also kind of self explanatory. although most of the jack stauber songs are mostly for vibe #bitter water is a very specific flavor of pining / unhealthy outlook. kind of has like an insatiable vibe to it but idk how to name it #i want soap to be a healing song but maybe im just being optimistic. im here for the vibes although i feel like if swk and macaque were #actually to make up i think they would go into it kicking and screaming. and im frustrated because i cant find a song to match that #except maybe bodybag which AGAIN. THEY ARE SO FUCKING STUPID THATS HOW THEYRE GONNA HEALL FLYING BARK PLS #what if it doesnt end well also feels like a doomed narrative to me. like if you think about it from how their relationship might have st #started (and im probably taking from how everyone romanticizes their relationship as something really innocent or sweet at the start which #i am also not immune to that). but knowing them it is also a very good possibility thats not the case at all. what it is i dont know #primadonna also strikes me as a swk song but like msotly because he serves cunt. on that note I like to imagine rose colored boy as swk to #MK.BECAUSEEE i love how MK brings out the best in people AND AND AND!! 5000 year old immortal who has seen some shit come on people 'and i #have taken my glasses off' COME ON LOOK ATIT. you could also argue that could be macaque to MK and it would make sense #Spotify #Lego Monkie kid #lmk #yapping #playlist #monkie kid

Just found out my two siblings are in my mom's will, but not me. Also my grandpa has told the entire family about his engagement. Except for me. Also my dad told my siblings that he and my mom bought a plot of land. Can you guess who they haven't told?

#these tags are about to be a massive trauma dump tbh so avoid if you want #when i was fifteen i came out as trans. and my mom was terrible about it. and my dad was up for a promotion so we were considering moving #and i found a list of my moms pros and cons for moving. on the pros was 'people there dont know about (deadname)'#so that was ideal for a suicidal fifteen year old to find. and tonight i just learned that im not in her will #both of my siblings are. but im not. and its just always been like this #im treated like im not part of the family anymore. and it's been that way since i was fifteen #i heard from my brother that my grandpa is engaged. and he told both my siblings about it directly. he never told me #i reach out to my parents. i never hear back. my aprents text my sibling to check on me (sib and i live together)#everything is kind of shit rn. one of my rats is dying. my family doesnt love me. im broke. my best friend and i arent really talking #because he fucked my ex gf and now things arent really the same anymore. strangely enough. he doesnt reach out anymore #so i have no one to talk to about any of this shit #last night i was crying about my rat and i guess my roommate heard it cuz this morning they said #'are you okay? if you ever need someone to talk to who will never bring it up again you can talk to me'#and thats the most loving thing ive heard from someone in months. from a woman ive known since august #im. just. at a loss. since i found out tonight. that im not in my mom's will #its not about money. or assets. its about the fact that im her fucking child and both of her other children are in it but im not #after she dies shes willing to help them out but i can get fucked ig #i wonder if im gonna be invited to my grandpas wedding. i wonder if any of them would want me at their funeral #i wonder if any of them would come to mine

Me: "I don't like people, I prefer being on my own and not talking"

People: "oh okay we'll leave you be then"

Me: "wait no PLEASE COME BACK I WANT LOVE-"

#its not that i dont like people. its just that i have resorted to avoiding people out of habit and a sense that i make things worse #like its not that i DON'T want to message my friend. its just that I cant bring myself to since i usually dont #ha ha ha. god i am desperate to just speak to people but I want to be left alone and im scared of people turning out to be mean #i kinda feel like crying when i see people say how they love their friends and cuddle up with them and have fun #lol one of my old best friends caused me to have awful anxiety about myself because he judged and made fun of ke constantly #oh yeah and that other time after i broke up with a friend because we stupidly decided to try and date and it didnt go well #the bastard asked the person out that night. they said no because they aren't an ass or dumb. god i should have left him when he said that #oh yeah he also made fun of my sunny cosplay i did and then left me alone in the comic con crowd for half an hour #as someone with anxiety that fucked me up just a little #so yeah bad past friendships and terrible social skills have left me to just go lol cant get hurt if i dont have friends!#ha ha. this is agony.#i have like one actaul friend i talk to and she's going through some stuff and wants to be left alone #which is understandable but now I'm talking to absolutely no one #also even if i were to talk to people i just feel i make things worse #i feel like im obnoxious and weird constantly and I'm sobscsred that people are going to think I'm creepy #its not that im doing anything super weird its just that with my autism I can get overly excited and start rambling and not thinking #yet another reason why I've chosen to stop speaking as much #im also just really snappy sometimes #I remember a while ago someone i was kinda friends with asked me if i was okay and i said i was fine #they kept pushing because they were concerned and no ones ever really done that so i kind of panicked and raised my voice at them #i wasn't angry i just never had someone try and actually pry that deep before other than maybe my parents #they seem like a lovely person but i still feel so horrible for doing that to them #sure i apologises later and they understood but i felt like it was one of the most awful things ive done to someone #i hate even the thought of being cruel or mean and all they were trying to do was help and i snapped at them for it #sorry for being ranty but I'm starting to think im really not okay #I've pondered the idea of possibly having deppression but thats a conversation for my counselor #again sorry for sumoing and ill probably delete this soon #if anyone has read all of this im honestly impressed #personal rambles #vent tag

actually ngl, i have been playing with the idea of byan, at some point in their fledgling verse, probably years down the line, eventually coming to work at some shitty little 24 hour tattoo shop

#you know... one of those places that's not the best quality or anything & kinda targeted at people who're drunk and/or spontaneous #where u can walk in and get a tattoo started in under 5 mins bc ur just picking smth kinda generic #or even bringing in a pinterest tattoo to have them copy completely #and byan's like. probably one of the few there who at least makes it their own interpretation bc they hate just copying #and their work is a lot more colourful & fun bc everyone else there sees it as more of 'just a job' than smth their passionate about or w/e #they're* passionate about smh what is spelling #but like. come on. vampire tattoo artist? pretty cool. u can't tell me otherwise #but also they'd be scrambling for smth to make their undeath worth living u know #doing smth they're passionate about and maybe making a bit of money out of it would help a little #god but imagine walking in half drunk to get a tattoo and seeing what looks like this 18 y/o kid working there adhgjsg #just fully babyfaced... lookin like they should be going to school in the morning and everything #like they don't even look old enough to be able to get a tattoo without a parent's permission but here they are givin em to other people #just an idea I'm considering u know how it goes #anyway kinda exhausted after not the best day so I thinkkkkkk I'm skipping drafts again tonight sorry :x #gonna try this whole crochet thing again lmao adhgjsg #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me.#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ verse: fledgling.

#just reread all of our texts from when everything went down bc I felt like being in a bad mood evidently but #god it pisses me off to no end how she fucking handled everything. like I know it’s obvious she was going through something and just #using me as an outlet or something and projecting things onto me but still. fucking DAMN dude what WAS that #looking back I do actually think I handled it literally as best as I could’ve. but shit still sucks dude! I hate that this is how it went!!#reading my pleas to talk to her in person followed up a week later with .I’m going to rip the bandaid off since u brushed over everything #MOTHER FUCKER YOU DIDNT EVEN GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO BRUSH IT OFF YOU WOUDKNT SPEAK TO ME!!! FUCK!!#had talked to my therapist at the time about it a tad but the fact that this event has happened multiple times has majorly fucked with me #had asked her what I’m doing that people consistently refuse to talk to me about things until it boils over and our relationship ends #abruptly and violently every time. I mean EVERY time!! this is the third time it’s happened!! obviously I’m doing something!!#and I’m so scared of it ever happening again. this was definitely the worst it’s ever been but I can’t go through that again I can’t I cant #I love the friends I have now so so so dearly they are such amazing people and I don’t think they would do something like that to me #and it would be cruel of me to think they would even be capable of it either #but it really seems like there is some part of me that is so overwhelmingly unbearable that given enough time I have the capability to just #push people over the edge. and I don’t know what to change about myself to ensure it doesn’t happen bc I don’t know why it happens #and I’m constantly terrified of losing them but I don’t want to be overbearing or like? manipulative or some shit and constantly ask for #reassurance bc that seems like it would get old fast #but also there are things I want/need to talk to like. someone about and idk if I need to just save it for a therapist and not bring it up #otherwise bc it’s. like heavy stuff I guess. and it had felt good to be able to talk about things with just a friend previously but I know #the fact that I did that played a part in what happened. but I really need to talk to someone about any of it #and I don’t know how to do so without just spewing everything out at once and just completely overstepping boundaries I guess #and I hate that she’s the only one who knows everything. there are so many things that took me so long to open up to people about and she’s #the only person who knows EVERYTHING. and it’s unbearable. it actually is. I don’t know how to start over. in a way that’s healthy for #eveyone involved. but I know it’s also bad to keep everything from people #idk when reading her texts she kept bringing up that it felt like I never trusted her or let her do anything for me. and I see where she #was coming from. but at the same time I thought I leaned on her so much. I guess I’m realizing I’ve never actually had a healthy #friendship/relationship that’s lasted before. that’s really fucking sad lmao. I’m genuinely a shitty person a bit I think #euuugghhhh okay enough is enough I guess

Not dog-related, but I wanted to slide into your ask box to thank you so much for your work during/related to voting and elections - its so important and needed, always (but I feel especially now). AND in the middle of a pandemic too, among everything else! I & so many others appreciate what you and so many other poll workers & election officials do to ensure voting access. Wish there was any other way I could support than a virtual hug <3 (also when did Slash become a whole adult!!)

Aww this is such a sweet message! The pandemic certainly threw things through a loop for us, but overall I feel the fact it has increased the number of elections where we mail absentee ballots to all active registered voters is a huge win for accessibility at the polls (VT is already a state where you can request an absentee for literally any reason, but voter turnout massively increases when ballots are mailed to everybody).

The biggest hurdle election workers and clerks face right now is a certain demographic of people being increasingly toxic and antagonistic to our faces, to the point of being threatening. Like I should not have to think about how i can probably lock myself in my vault if things go in a dangerous direction, yet I do. Also when people of any demographic get upset that double checking or recounts are taking a long time and blame election workers for this or imply there's something nefarious happening because it's taking time. It's really important that things are done correctly and surprise surprise that takes time!

I know it probably sounds like the bare minimum, but the best thing you can do for election workers is be polite, read the directions on your ballot (both mail in and in person) carefully, do not wear political clothing or pins to the polls, do not take a picture of your ballot, get your "I VOTED" sticker (and maybe a 'future voter' one for any kiddos in your life), and do not needlessly stick around the polling place chatting with people (not that we don't want to chat, we're just busy and we're required to be politically neutral at the polls.)

#not dogs #not gonna lie giving out stickers is the best part #but working elections is one of my favorite parts of my job #also you can bring your dogs into the polls i won't mind lol #seriously tho there is one demographic of people that really pushback on political clothing not being allowed at the polls #and like. bruh its law that you can't wear political clothing at the polls here bring a plain sweatshirt #or flip your shirt inside out before entering i don't care #but especially when certain political parties are actively working to take away the rights of minorities #allowing these people to wear said items just bc you dont' want to deal with the interacting is unexcusable #bc it then makes the polling place an unsafe space for minorities.#clerk previous to me would often let these things go and i refuse to let them.#everybody has the right to feel comfortable at the polls and to vote #and my discomfort at confronting these people is worth it #if it makes even 1 person feel more comfortable #remember in the primary and some qanon lady thought we were comitting voter fraud bc our pens had changed at the polls #as if the state didn't specifically send us new fucking markers bc our old ones were like ten years old...

and what if nero thinks of himself as a tool for the three magicians he knew for a decade. what if he only limits as himself as a pawn, what if that's why he so easily threw himself as a sacrifice to protect his friends.

#im giving myself pain because i just know maydare would diverse from this #nero knew his worth but as a prince rather than as himself. he have SO MUCH trust on his familiar that it will bring rescue to his team #kanon told nero why he saved him and told him about the future war just when he was 6 years old. he kept that in mind and what his life is #for. kanon literally told nero that he's gonna be a necessary pawn in the future lmao?? kanon who had gone through so much could not care #less for some ordinary people ig since he was so detached from emotions... he's straightforward to nero and nero took it pretty well?????#ANYWAY rereading nero.... nero didn't seem to mind dying??????? like what the hell boy????????? he's not freaking out about himself #dying at all. rather he's concerned for the things happening around him and the people worrying about him????#'beatrice saw me and let out a small cry. did i look that bad?' YOU'RE IN A STATE OF DYING. NERO YOU WERE STABBED.#IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR BODY. A CURSE IS SPREADING IN YOUR BODY. NERO???#'What was i doing/ thinking about things so detachedly when it hurt so much that it felt like i was going to die' YOU😭#he knows he can't die here. he know he have so many things left to do.#this entire time he's fighting through the curse he did not say anything. the only words he uttered was makia's name. his concern for her.#he felt like he can't die without confirming if she's okay. once he knew that she's already he felt relieved that his vision is turning #white. nero what the fuck omg. i know he's been fighting off the curse the best he can and he's getting tired but nero oh my god #be concerned for yourself boy #for ten years he don't value himself as himself but rather someone who is a pawn for this world and the three magicians.#he's well aware of the purpose of his life. he's already set to serve those three magicians specially kanon for saving him and teaching him #various of things. also what was shatoma saying what did she mean #'What? I merely did what i could do for you wou didn't need any help.' what do you mean #first off i wanna point out the way she replied to nero's apology and thanks 'i merely did what i could do for you' i don't know how to #describe it but it feels like she was familiar with him in a fond way?? that added with 'who didn't need any help' she knows what he's #capable of and i think shatoma knows he can overcome it by himself? but my boy is like. gonna pass out. i think she's genuinely worried lol #each magician had something to do this volume- eska had to go find makia and thor and bring them to ulysses #ulysses makia and thor had to release pan faunus while eska puts up the defense. shatoma could've gone with eska or with kanon but no #she went to where the rest were- it's probably to check on the people in the labyrinth.. i want to know if she knew about nero's injuries..#oh that reminds me- shatoma is in lune ruschia's uniform so she's probably in the labyrinth before nero frey and lapis came back #she and eska probably arrived *after* nero makia and frey went out to find lapis #eska goes to find makia and thor while shatoma went in the labyrinth before gt9 came back #🦋'...Kanon? He's going where he needs to go.' in which nero thought 'So Brother's on the move.'........... he knows he knows..#shatoma trust nero enough to know how capable he is.. maybe she even trust him enough to let him know about their plans since he's
