My Angel (The Series) Rewatch

I'll start by saying this:

This is the first time I have seen these episodes since they originally aired.

I rewatched all of seasons 1-3. Because season 4 is….season 4, I rewatched 4x1 - 4x6, 4x10, 4x17, & 4x22. I’m skipping season 5 except "You're Welcome". I read the gist of season 5 for my memory and I remember snippets of it when it aired.

Angel & Cordelia were my OTP back then & that remains (probably even more so now that I have finished the rewatch and I am an adult now lol)

NOW (This may be lengthy, but I have alot to say)

We all know now (as much as we can know as outsiders) what really went down between Charisma & Joss. I think David Greenwalt's departure didn't help things. Lots to be said about the season 4 storyline for Cordelia (& Angel) vs its original rumored intent. LOTS. But that's neither here nor there. I'd like to shine a light on the following from what was actually aired.

Seasons 1-3 built up an incredible story for Angel & Cordelia that turned from acquaintances/semi-friends (on BTVS) to coworkers to friends to falling in love with each other.

Angel identifies Cordelia as his home. Almost the second he returned in 4x01, he told Connor "What you deserve rests on one answer. Did you do something to Cordelia?" This man, who holds his son above everyone. He tells Fred & Gunn he kept telling himself "I gotta get home to Cordelia."

He returns and he does everything to find her. In "Awakening", he dreams of being with her, together, and being okay with Connor and you realize that, underneath the terrible circumstances of season 4, there is a theme here. Home, for Angel, is with Cordelia & Connor.

He was a second too late in killing "Evil Cordelia" before she could give birth. And I wonder if that's something he really would have been able to do. Because he didn't do it, did he?

In 4x22, Wolfram & Hart offer the deal. He's not buying it. Lilah mentions the first assignment would be visiting Sunnydale and providing the amulet. He says "Buffy can take care of herself" and that he's not taking the deal. As soon as Lilah mentions they can find Cordelia & Connor, Angel stops. Now Connor endangers himself and Cordelia (Angel's' face when he sees Cordelia is strapped is heartbreaking). Angel & Connor fight. He takes the deal to give Connor a new life and to save Cordelia.

Season 5, he loses his way. He's lost without Cordelia. A shell. Unhappy. Guess who comes back to him? Connor & Cordelia, even for flitting moments. And who brings him back on his path? Cordelia. With a kiss. Because she loves him. "She set me on the path."

With the absurdity of season 4, I am so grateful we got Charisma/Cordelia back to fix it, even for one episode. Of course, I would have loved more and I probably would have watched all of season 5 if she was in it but, alas, can't change the past.

All this to say, Angel loved Cordelia and he loved Connor as he would love his wife & son ( Well, Connor is his son but you know what I mean).

He holds Connor & Cordelia as his most dear & don't you ever forget it.

And I choose to believe Angel & Cordelia got their life after the finale, with Connor involved a teensy bit maybe, we just didn't get to see it.

Ryu for the ask game?

Omg thank you all for asking this character I totally didn't specifically ask to be asked about and who I love a perfectly normal amount giggles and twirls hair

Favorite thing about them: He really strives to be good. Good at something, anything, but just good. He constantly fights against his own narrative and I find it very admirable. He was doomed from the start to fail and I feel like he knows that, and I don't know how he finds the strength to keep trying anyway but he does and it's really neat. Maybe his skull really is too thick to listen to the words of a predetermined fate. Just the whole thing about being the tragic character of all time is very compelling to me. Also, his inherently meaningless seeking a validation to live he shares with Atsushi makes me like him for reasons similar to Atsushi.

Least favorite thing about them: MMMHHHH,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Like I really like his flaws, I'm happy he has them, I wouldn't like him the same if he didn't? But at least I can safely say it's someone I wouldn't like to deal with irl lol.

Favorite line:

<3

brOTP: GIN AND RYUUNOSUKE!!!!! They make me go insane. Holding hands while working in the darkness fr. Being lonely together. Someone who's seen you at your worst FOR REAL but still hasn't abandoned you for some unfathomable reason. I don't know what goes through your mind but I see your eyes and they're the same as mine. Also mmmmhhhh sskk. Chuuaku. Kyouka and Akutagawa though I'm not sure that can count as brotp. Lucy and Akutagawa.

OTP: Sskk is like, pretty cool if you ask me <3 Imagine a fully rotten individual who was never meant for anything but killing and making people suffer since they were born, loving someone. Imagine the “I will kill you” being replaced by “I will love you”. But also imagine being so deeply interlaced with another person, your existence just can't escape the other. Destined to be together and destined to fall apart at the same time. I'll never be able to move forward until I've denied your very being but if you die my existence will stop having a meaning. Don't tell me what to do. I will follow you to the end of the world. I will kill you. I will die for you. I just think them <333 Chuuaku too, have already spent countless words on them but. Finally a ship that's real and relatable. Finally something that doesn't feel ethereal and idealized and distant and untouchable, but real and stained and messy and human. What if I didn't understand you but I wanted to. What if we walked together home. They're neat <333 Other Akutagawa ships I vibe with would be Akutagawa × Beast Atsushi, Akutagawa × Tachihara, Akutagawa × Kajii, akuatsulucy...

nOTP: 🤨🤔🧐

Random headcanon: I think he's numb to pain. And I don't mean it in the “oh no he suffered so much he's used to it at this point :((( ” pitying way, I mean it in the “he's felt such very strong spikes of pain in multiple occasions, his pain detectors just gave out” way. The “he won't notice a wound because he just can't feel it” way.

Unpopular opinion: In the last period, it's been bugging me a little how Akutagawa and Dazai's relationship is portrayed in fancontent. It's just always so black and white, while actually I feel like there's so much nuisance to it that just gets lost in fandom. Yes, the way Dazai treated Akutagawa was horrible and inhuman. Yes, to an extent Dazai thought highly of Akutagawa's abilities and cared for him. Yes, Akutagawa was victim of Dazai's heavy abuse. No, Akutagawa isn't entirely subject to Dazai, he explicitly gave his consent to an hard training (which, I reiterate, doesn't justify it at all; but does give more nuisance to the whole situation) and did oppose him in multiple occasions. I just think sometimes Akutagawa is framed as this helpless damsel in distress and Dazai as this inhuman monster whereas their relationship is indeed unhealthy, but still so much more complex than that. And just, really, I feel like portraying Akutagawa so helpless in Dazai's hands makes him a disservice? Even though in canon he said to be willing to kill Dazai on multiple occasions, has punched him more than once, has told straight “no”s to his face. I just think... People tend to make Akutagawa a lot less aware than he actually is. Here, there it is, that's what really troubles me. Akutagawa does know Dazai hurt him. He does know Dazai's treatment of him was cruel, and unfair. He is aware of what Dazai did to him. That just can't stop him from seeking his approval, even against his will. But to think that Akutagawa is blind to everything Dazai did to him does him a disservice, because he really is not that stupid or with completely null self-awareness. The fact that he tends to run after Dazai despite knowing how much he's hurt him is just further proof of how complex and human-like Akutagawa's psyche is. Also, he does NOT like reading. All my homies hate booknerd Akutagawa.

Song i associate with them: Well, I associate with him songs I definitely shouldn't associate with him alcfjyalfiygaslfiya. One song I always listen to that infallibly makes me think of Akutagawa although it really DOES NOT fit Akutagawa is Patchwork Staccato by toa, with its delicious sewing symbolism and words of toxic codependent relationships and the line you, I'd really rather you just stop existing I just can't help but link to him. Or Vampire by DECO*27, which. self-explanatory. but really shouldn't be associated with Akutagawa. On the side of songs that do fit Akutagawa, Tokyo Teddy Bear (AKUTAGAWA SEWING SYMBOLISM MY ULTIMATE BELOVED) and Lost One's Weeping (“Who stained that heart black? Who was it? Who was it!?” “Can you untie the rope around his neck? Can we keep going like this? What're you gonna do? I don't care anymore!” “But why does this lump in our hearts // Say we want to disappear? Say we want to die?” “Can you remember the dreams of your childhood? Who threw those dreams in a ditch? Who was it!? You know who it was! When are you going to grow up!? What is a grown-up anyway? Who has the answers? What're you gonna do? I don't care anymore!”) and basically everything from Neru. And Rolling Girl by wowaka, obviously.

Favorite picture of them:

Favourite panel from the manga: The one above LMAO. I. Really like that scene and think it's the most beautiful climax Akutagawa's character arc could have ever had. Here's my second favourite though:

Favourite illustration: There's a lot of beautiful ones...

Favourite illustration in the anime art style:

BUT ALSO this please don't make me choose. And various anime screencaps. I feel like I'm cheating but maybe it's unethical to ask from me to pick a favourite Akutagawa picture in the first place.

Favourite Mayoi card:

Send me a character?

[vaporwaveanxietywitch]

So I was trying to explain my otp to my friend and thought I'd share

KawoShin is "I only just met you but I already know you" I know you like we were supposed to be together from the beginning but it went wrong somewhere and now I have you but it's at the end of the story and there's no time left. It's "I know you because you're just like me and see you see and think and feel the way I do, and at the same time you're different from me". You're different but you see and feel and understand the way I see and feel and understand or at least are trying to understand me. This is the first time connection hasn't felt like an unbalanced fight.

It's "I only just met you and I already love you" I know it's too fast and we're too young and that this should have years to unfold slowly and beautifully and natrually but we're out of time and we only have today and I love you and I'm telling you that now because there is no more time and I need you to hear it and know it because I'm the first to give you that love and you're the first person to love me. And that's awful and not fair and not how it should be but that's how it is. And somehow it's still unfolding naturally even if it should feel rushed it doesn't. If we only have time for the most important things then I need to make sure I tell you that I love you because you deserve to be loved and I'm sorry no one has ever thought so before they were wrong for that. And I'm sorry that all of the people who actually wanted to love you were too hurt and in their own heads to actually do it but I'm here and I love you and that's enough even if it really isn't at least for today it can be.

It's "Every second of this day is making up for a year we don't get to have". It's "all of forever in one day". It's spilling my guts to you because you're the only person who has ever cared enough to listen.

It's "I know you and I love you because I never wanted to be here and you never wanted to be here and up until now life has been nothing but pain. But I'm here with you right now and for the first time I can finally see this beautiful thing that living is supposed to be and I want you to keep having that. I want you to live and keep living and be happy for the both of us because I can't be there with you." It's "my whole life I have had no choices and no point but now I feel like even if the whole point was this day here with you that's enough and I'm content with that. If I get to choose the meaning my life has I am choosing you. I'm choosing you and you're choosing me and we are choosing this day and all the happiness we can make in it."

It's "our story is already over but I am going to love you so hard that it echoes backwards and rewrites the narrative because 24 minutes is still enough time to undo everything that has happened up until now and open up a path to something better." "Because we deserve better, because you deserve better with or without me."

And it's "I will tear out the throat of fate and crack the spine of time as I bend it around backwards to give us another chance, a better chance, a chance at what we deserved to have at the beginning. Because trying is the hardest and most painful thing I have ever done but you give me the strength to try, you make me want to try again."

001 for sfkr and clerith!

oomf u know me so well. thank you for letting me yap >:-)

001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

sefikura 🐍♡☁️

when I started shipping it if I did:

there's actually a funny story to this one. > be me. > guilelessly playing kingdom hearts 2 in 2019. > "what the hell is these dudes' deal. i wonder if people ship them at all" > open ao3 thinking there might be a handful of fics > "oh there's a couple more than a few, huh" > life ruined.

my thoughts:

my favorite little guys in anything ever. they surgically removed my personality to make room for more sefikura. truly i have never loved a ship as much as this one. literal otp of all time.

What makes me happy about them:

everything? they're so funny and silly to me. extremely pathetic creatures. two absolute losers. i think of them and i always smile. i love the fact that each of them have independently made their personality revolve around each other at different points in time, it's so funny.

What makes me sad about them:

EVERYTHING. the fact they will never have a happy ending. the fact they will be enemies in every (canon) universe. the fact they are two extremely broken people who are uniquely equipped to understand each other and that won't be enough to save them.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

tbh i'm so picky with what i like and don't like about how both these guys often end up characterized, but i also think all interpretations are valuable in their own way. i can't think of any huge annoyances, except that i have very Specific feelings/headcanons about sephiroth in crisis core era, and usually won't read things that veer too far away from that.

things I look for in fanfic:

i love any and all fics where the author makes it obvious that sephiroth is just. completely besotted. and i think cloud feeds off of that, even if he won't admit it. i'll read just about anything with these two, but i especially love stories where authors can articulate the crux of their dysfunction really well. yes, these two have have immense amounts of hate, and blood, and pain between them, but (especially on sephiroth's end) there is also an Intense desire for intimacy, of any kind. these two things juxtaposed well is just magical to me.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: 

no one. i say that as a joke but it's pretty much true. for cloud i do also ship him hardcore with aerith (somewhat against my own will XD), but outside of that i don't really multiship these two anymore. i used to be a Hardcore multishipper, and while i still appreciate things like some polyshipping (other cleriseph enjoyers where are you, i need food of that ot3 so bad), i honestly can't enjoy the thought of them being with anyone else. i miss being a multishipper, because these days pretty much every single other ship with them (outside of clerith) has become a notp for me. ;w;

My happily ever after for them:

in canon? haha. the closest i could see them in canon ffvii (and the closest i think part 3 of remake would get to giving them a 'happy' ending) is having a moment of resolution similar to what kuja and zidane get in ffix. i would be satisfied with that for canon. BUT if we're taking all the stops off, i want to see the dramatic epic pining slowburn post-AC where they eventually figure out how to lead semi-normal lives alongside each other. this is making me want to write that now....maybe that will be my next fic project.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

there's an obvious answer here with consideration to builds and hair lengths, i think. i like to think cloud has accepted his fate to have this 7 foot tall piece of brick clinging to him like an octopus.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

this is another obvious one, and i'm tempted to say 'fighting', but i'm not sure that clears the bar of non-sexual for them. my second choice is that i think they would just genuinely enjoy being around each other in silence. they're both such introverts, and i like to think of them just recharging quietly with each other.

clerith ☁️♡🌎

when I started shipping it if I did:

let me preface this by saying that when remake came out in 2020, i had less than zero interest in vii's infamous love triangle. i wanted no piece of it in my heart or my home. then the game came out and cloud and aerith gripped me by the throat and violently dragged me into falling in love with them by being so damn charming and heartfelt and perfect for each other.

my thoughts:

i love these two so damn much. i really Really loved them in remake, and rebirth intensified this to a level i could Not have anticipated and is currently ruining my life. i love them. i love that they are soulmates, romantic, platonic, or something in-between. i love that their bond and chemistry is near-instantaneous, i love that cloud blooms into letting himself experience softness around her, i love that aerith finally has someone who cares about making her happy and standing by her so damn much.

What makes me happy about them:

so much. their love is so pure and tentative. their vibes to me run parallel to how i see and experience the early 20s as a queer person, essentially the second teenage-hood where you're still feeling yourself out as a person, and you have no idea what you're doing. you feel like you're missing out on a lot of the fundamental experiences that 'normal' people have already had, and i feel like both cloud and aerith mirror that emotion, thanks to the fucked up circumstances of both their lives. aerith is cloud's first real friend after nibelheim (and potentially ever, depending on how close you think he was with zack. to me, i hc cloud and zack were pretty friendly, but not especially close prior to the nibelheim incident.) and cloud is also one of aerith's first friends. they've both suffered such acute loneliness and isolation in their lives, and the fact they find healing for that in each other is so so special to me. the fact that aerith is the person most able to reach through to the person cloud Really is, even under everything he's got going on, makes me so deranged.

What makes me sad about them:

well. there is a very obvious answer. so there is definitely That. that's kind of a big deal.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

honestly i feel like i don't have many specific fanfic annoyances in general, because if a fic annoys me i just stop reading it, and then my adhd makes me forget i read it to begin with.

things I look for in fanfic:

i really love everything with these two, i love all the cute fluff happy ever afters they don't get to have in canon, but i also love the angst and the drama and the trauma. usually i just gravitate towards any fics that i feel understands the characters well or has interesting ideas, the exact plot or type of scenario is less important to me.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: 

in my heart, cloud's endgame ship is always sephiroth. as for aerith, i'm also a Huge zerith shipper (yes i am in constant emotional pain, how did you know), but aeriseph also firmly has a place in my heart.

My happily ever after for them:

any. any of them. i want the most tooth-rotting fluffy ending for these two. (admittedly, their iconic tragedy is a part of why i love them so bad. without it, my emotional investment would be Nowhere near as high.) i've been reading a lot of wedding/alternate future fics with these two lately and they all make me ;w;

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

i genuinely think it goes both ways, but if i had to say i think cloud is doomed to be a little spoon in any lifetime.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

oooh tough one!! i think aerith would love teaching cloud to garden....though i'm not sure he would be any good at it. but i have faith in him to learn.

[wifiwuxians]

What about an au where XXC and SL are siblings? Silly idea, I know, they've just always had twin-vibes to me so I thought it'd be cool to hear about an au where they are. Love all of your AU ideas!

game of thrones

nah lol i just am not sure i can convincingly sibling code my otp, since i've pegged them as romantic since before i really cared about them.. just how like i can't super envision xy and aq as anything other than siblings? so i am not sure i can come up with anything too spectacular hmmmm... but i will try. for you!

SL is the older one by a few hours and he takes it very seriously. he is very protective of XXC and is always trying to steer him down a good, righteous path. XXC is appreciative of this, but feels SL can be a little too rigid at times. he likes straying from the path and exploring, more enamored with nature and adventure than his twin, who, despite still having wanderlust, is not as willing to go off script.

their bond is, understandably, as unbreakable as it is in canon. perhaps even more so as they are bound by blood! even if they end up having some massive blow-up of a fight, they can't entirely turn their backs on one another, even if some little shit orchestrates some whole thing. even if their paths are to separate, as they do sometimes to take on different jobs, they always find each other again, as if connected by a thread.

there is something supernatural about them. whether it be a blessing or a curse, their life forces are intertwined. if one is healthy, so is the other. if one is injured, the other feels it. you can imagine this could lead to disaster, but they are able to flourish twice as well on the flipside.

they could be known as the twins of winter and still have their sect (: perhaps they were born to superstitious mountain folk who left them to their fate after discovering their linked souls and icy powers or... something... maybe that's straying too far from the canon blueprint though i just love me some iceboys

...one cool aspect of their blurse (LOL) is that if you try to fully blind one, they will both end up half blind. no matter how many times you try to repeat this process. tongue removal unfortunately does render them both mute, however. but it probably enables them to communicate telepathically. just food for thought

[katyspersonal]

You expected an ask about Gehrman... but it was me, an ask about Maria, 002!

Not everyday I get to talk about her in length, yeah x)

(Asks from this ( x ) meme)

002 | Give me a character & I will tell you

How I feel about this character:

I really like her, she is the kind of strong female characters that I appreciate; who can and will kick the ass of the scariest motherfucker in the setting (or at least try to) and shows stoicism and is so strong and noble, but have not lost touch with their gentle, emotional, compassionate and vulnerable side. I dislike the idea that strong = suppressing and weeding out the more tender side of herself.

These are LAYERS of the character, some even contradictory at the first glance. She can't be described with one sentence unless you make that sentence really darn long and fractured, because if you focus on one side of her you'll miss another that is just as crucial. She also rejected the cursed, questionable blood antics of her ancestry and turned onto being more regular hunter of Gehrman's type... and then rejected that too, seeing what she's became, and discarded her weapon! She strikes me as a person that really doesn't want to fight and kill deep down, but whose morals are just too strong to NOT stand up and fight for humanity; that was her initial intention, and that's what so hurtful about her fate.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Adeline or Rom - they both happen to be her 'type' of a woman, and ironically both tragically yeet into the next plane because they consider that sweet Insight better than whatever worth they have as humans ;-; I just imagine dynamic being a bit similar, only Rom is kind of bad with subordination and doesn't see Maria as someone 'above' (in status or self-esteem vice); meanwhile, Adeline has more shared interests with Maria and in the contrast of Rom being too deep in her thoughts would be more attentive (like bringing her tea, helping her to carry things despite Maria not needing any help, all that).

Brador - somewhere on the outskirts because it seems like they only have true chance in the Nightmare, but they're their worst selves in there (Maria is back to being a hunter, for one)... so yeah, it is either be bi do crimes together, OR better reserved for an AU!

Gehrman - I don't know about this one because even though within my interpretations they're basically Valtr x Yamamura but straight, this ship is just really hard to communicate because people will assume too many things about the characters. With everything I know, the Doll's appear means either that 1) Gehrman knew Maria better than anyone else in the whole setting, including the side of her that no one else saw or 2) Gehrman didn't understand her at all but is aware he might have RUINED her innocent side by training her to be ruthless killer too much. I lean towards 2 more, so it is a one-sided "ship", but 1 is basically a goldmine of emotions and ideas and I support that too!

Ludwig - they're both noble, knightly warriors with good intentions and eager to fight for humanity that did lead to their downfall in the end... Ludwig, however, falls for the same issue as Adeline and Rom; he is just too attached to something otherworldly to find a deep connection with a fellow human being, unless they worship the same god I guess? And that's Laurence -_- And the two don't even have a chance to find connection within Nightmare, because Ludwig is quite further from humanity there than Maria, Brador or Adeline!

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

hhhh Again, all of the above could qualify for this one too! But to not self-repeat, I'd say Crow of Cainhurst and Maria! Not to say I can't see the potential of a ship between them, but I am personally way more enthusiastic about them being basically like siblings since childhood! Just, being rather close, even though they'd have banters often and Maria would have to pull his hair for being a lil' dickhead to their more easily-scared and sensitive friends! Crow always been a little shit xD I think he also was very jealous and pouted for weeks after Maria left Cainhurst.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I believe that Maria [REDACTED] herself rather than was killed by Simon or something, but regardless, what we know before that was that she abandoned the hunt (discarded her weapon) upon guilt and regrets from participating in Fishing Hamlet's massacre, and resigned to being a caretaker for the patients. So, for that reason I feel like identifying her character with being super mean murderous super dangerous killing machine that likes blood and shredding and stabbing and killing and blood and killing and murdering and....... you get the point. I feel like it is tone-deaf to connect her character to THE thing she renounced in her character arc and that she regrets becoming. Acknowledging she is very strong and dangerous warrior =/= identifying her character as just that.

I try to shrug it off though because again, that character arc happened behind the scenes, and what we MEET in the game is a snapshot of Maria at her prime as a hunter. Not only most fans do not loredig far and interact on more casual level, but also duckling effect can be quite strong. Like, who will win: the arguably coolest battle in the whole game or a description of a weapon many players can't even get because of the stupid Shark Giants? You see what I mean!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I wish we got to see something of her in Cainhurst, like portrait, or finding an item that belonged to her... Something to help to resolve the timeline confusions of how long ago she left, what was her drip before Knights, just... just one little bit. But we won't get shit because that's infamous nebulous storytelling of FromSoft for ya. x)

my OTP:

I don't think I physically can choose between Mariadeline and Gehrmaria, I am skipping the move, sorry hsdfhds

my cross over ship:

I do not have a ship, but back when I discussed crossover between FMA (03 version) and BB, she did kick Tucker's ass, hope this helps

a headcanon fact:

I do not quite see Maria and Doll as separate characters! Maybe after you release soul of Maria from Hell, Doll has a chance to develop and regain her humanity, but my default status for the two is 'when one of them is asleep - another is awake, and vice-versa'. Both of them are basically effected version of the same person with missing memories except for very selective thing (with Doll it is to care about people, with Maria it is to no longer let the hunters torment the corpse of a dead sea mom). Both things that were Maria's strongest emotional anchors before death. But yeah, I think they do share the soul.

[ad-hawkeye]

Man after reading the previous ask i just wanted to commiserate a bit.

Even though lukerosa is my otp since launch, i’ve always been most charmed by artem, who was so awkward and sincere and sweet. I adore how supportive artem and rosa have been of each other from the very beginning and in any version of events i like to imagine that they grow to become close friends and partners-in-crime-fighting. Their immense mutual respect and admiration is just a great foundation for a relationship.

Now, I have more of an attachment to the pre-1st anniv cards because i’m a sucker for mutual pining, but i’ve enjoyed the post-anniv cards too because it felt like a natural progression of their relationship. To find out that the writing quality for artem’s stories eventually gets worse and worse is very disheartening. When the writing starts out amazing but becomes terrible later on, it is always worse because it feels like a betrayal.

I’m going to keep playing ToT especially since he’s not my only fave, but I really hope the writing gets better again, artem deserves only the best, most tightly-written, and consistent characterisation. And I hope even more that his soon-to-be-announced 3rd anniv card is good — if it can redeem the previous bad cards… well that’s the dream.

Thank you for reading! I hope you’re having fun despite all this :)

so i was going to answer my asks in the morning (it's been a long day for me!) but this ask was literally the sweetest thing i have ever read, i had to respond asap ;_;

as a fellow lukerosa enjoyer (their interactions are always such a treat!!! they're the best genre of childhood friends to lovers due to that eight year time skip and the draaaama that comes with it. i still think about luke's personal story 4 to this day i SWEARRRR), genuinely thank you for the kind words, it really means a lot!! 😭😭

i totally agree with your thoughts on artem's earlier cards, you took the words right out of my mouth :,,) we're also on the exact same wavelength of the pre-1st anniversary cards - they're my absolute most cherished favorites. entwined fate, lost gold, sickness and in health, skadi, railroad, first birthday, aaaa..... some of my absolute favorites.. the original personal stories 1-4 are my favorites across the board too (my favorites definitely being artem's and luke's !!)

gosh yeah i think that's why i'm so upset! i genuinely and truly adore artem as a character, and i adore his older cards. this is to the point where i used all of my saved s-chips on the previous select-an-ssr banner to get his railroad card instead of his second anniversary card!!

to make it even more baffling, i haven't noticed a quality drop like this in the other boys?! if anyone reading is a fan of the other three, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but luke, marius, and vyn's cards all stay very consistent personality and plot wise imo. i can't help but wonder if something happened to artem's writing team?? the writing literally feels so different, i can't explain it. it's like. a lack of understanding of his charm. they dont understand why people liked him, or any of the more nuanced aspects to his character and his dynamic with rosa.

i miss them being Best Partners with artem's dry sense of humor and rosa cheering him on over the most mundane of a shit (like posing against a wall HAHA) and them taking their time and artem opening up and becomimg genuine friends who make jokes and tease each other and the strong mutual respect and consent and ;-;;; sniff

and aw thank you for the kind words!!!! i hope you're having fun too!! wishing for an absolutely touching card for lukerosa as well :) <3 year three has fantastic potential for some prime hurt/comfort angst and fluff for those two!!

[shifuto]

I'm sorry to bother you. I saw your ZEXAL ship flow chart and saw III/Trey and Yuma as OTP. Would you be able to talk about it more or explain more why you like them and see them as an OTP? If I read it wrong or are bothering you, I apologize. :(

not a bother at all! I love talking to people even more about my ships! Thank you for sending this (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧ (sorry this got SO lengthy ╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I love III, and Yuma, and I love how they look together to be honest hahaha. III has something so terribly lovesick and lonely about him, which makes a wonderful contrast to Yuma's friendly and popular demeanor - as was shown in canon, that was a huge point of conflict for III: seeing Yuma's close-knit family and how he, so effortlessly, got people to side with him, being with him, etc.. while III had to deal with the trainwreck in his family (and to make matters worse, having Yuma's dad involved too)

despite it all, III liked Yuma and never truly held those things against him, and ended up trusting Yuma with helping his family after he's defeated

then, I feel like III has such an important role behind the scenes.. until he actually has to come forward and help Yuma (after Astral was gone), but he didn't simply hold Yuma's hand or protected him, he would fight besides him

that bittersweetness really does it for me: III knew he would never be able to replace Astral, and he probably also knew that Yuma would not have eyes for anyone else, really.. he still chose to stay besides him

I really, really love the idea of III stirring "confusion" into Yuma's heart, by being upfront about his feelings - this is mostly how I imagine their relationship would develop: III makes it pretty damn obvious that he is in love with Yuma and wish to pursue a relationship with him, putting Yuma on a tight spot, on purpose

from Yuma's point of view, it's less about him falling out of love for Astral (he never really does) and more like.. he can love someone else too..!

so III imposes his feelings on Yuma, because he didn't have much to lose, they would remain friends regardless

and Yuma "accepts" him, but it's not like anyone would do (if that was the case, he'd stayed with Kotori, or Alito, or even Vector), and it probably had to do with III seeing them both as equals, I dare to say it's probably because his connection to III resembled his connection to Astral, among other things

Yuma's love for III is born from (and builds up with) so much conflict, guilt, shame and confusion, a sense of betrayal, and hopelessness about being bound to his "other half" - he can't possibly love another, he can't possibly be free from fate, he can't possibly choose for himself.... well, III makes him do it anyway!

out of all other of my Yuma ships, this is the only one I can see Yuma and his partner as "equals". This is important to me because the weight of the connection between them feels much more balanced - it doesn't mean they're the same as each other (they're pretty opposites actually!) or that the relationship will be conflict-free (I believe they would argue quite a lot). They're not bound by fate, or destiny, or childhood, but by standing on the same ground and fighting besides each other

I also love how their personalities complement each other so wonderfully!

hmmm yeah, I don't know if that answered your question but this is one of my favorite ships so it's hard to have coherent thoughts X3

[noa-ciharu]

Hmmm....

Yuzuriha, Arashi, Hinoto and Villain Hinoto, Kanoe, Karen, and Kotori!

(lots of work for you, huh?)

Ah lots of work for me. Luckily for me I like them all <3 I'll do Hinoto only once since I don't think her usual self and her evil self have no interactions at all, I bet they're two sides of the same coin, light and shadow self

Sexuality headcanon:

Yuzuriha, Karen, Arashi, Kotori - probably all straight. Kanoe - bi af and Hinoto stikes me as someone who has no sexual attraction but does have romantic one so heteroromantic ace. Karen is so 🔥 damn she'd be too powerful as bi or lesbian

Her makeup and dress for ruined and she still is pulling them looks. Plus she's fighting in high heels and managed to win. Trully a queen ❤🔥👑

Gender headcanon:

I guess they're all cis girls

OTP:

Out of all their ships I like Sorata/Arashi the most. Tbf when we're talking about X couples 90% of time we latch onto gays, aka subkam, fuukam or seisub and we sleep on one of honestly amazingly developed couples that's Sorata/Arashi. I wish we'd get to see ending clamp planed for them one day, somehow I think there night be some diversion from Sorata's fate path of dying for woman he loves (like maybe dying by the hand of woman he loves, which can happen if Arashi ends up brainwashed by Hinoto...)

BROTP:

For Yuzuriha it's defo her relationship with Kamui

Cuties ❤

For Arashi I guess her bond with rest of Seals. Tbf she mostly interacted with Sorata during X. Karen and her parental relationship with Nataku, it had no right hitting so hard 💔 for Hinoto and Kanoe I have none really and for Kotori I guess her dynamic with Fuuma and Kamui but that one is bond to get awkward eventually, for very evident reasons

As for non-canon ones, I'd so want Kotori and Hokuto to meet in some AU 🥺🙏 clamp plz. Beside that it'll be hilarious af if Arashi and X!Subaru were to hang out (like waiting for Kamui, Sorata and Yuzu to return to dorm). They'd drink tea in complete silence for like... 30 mins

NOTP:

I'm not the biggest fan of Kusanagi/Yuzuriha part. I like how when she confessed to him he was basically 'you're a kid' and despite Yuzuriha harboring feelings for far older man and him clearly caring about her, nothing romantic ever happened between them. In summary, I like their platonic bond very much but not romantic one

Random headcanon:

Girl sleepovers are very much needed. Girls' night ❤ although poor Kotori, she's too pure to be let around Kanoe. Also I can't believe our sexy girls Karen and Kanoe never met, that's basically a crime. Satsuki and Hokuto must be invited for girls sleepover too.

Boys can't have sleepover of their own for very obvious homoertoic reasons

General opinion:

They're all so beautiful and deserve happy lives and love and therapy and not whatever this *points at X where characters had 0 happiness for 18.5 vols* is. Yuzuriha and Kotori are so pure we should put them in ccs.

Okay maybe just Kotori bc I'm still sure Yuzuriha hooked Kamui onto yaoi and-

You can’t get married on your own

Word count: 1549

A/N: This post with Jo’s tags is at fault. Much fluff, very silly.

Summary: 

“But we need to find the very important people,” he said, ignoring Sky was still running after the last wagon. “Like, not Blackbridge mayor level. Higher. Much higher. Solarian elite only. Billionaires of the Otherworld.”

Riven was typing furiously on his phone, when a hand pushed his head down.

“Stop.” Sky said, tapping his neck. “You can’t get married on your own, Riv. That’s not how it works.”

A Blade’s Glint

Word count: 6882

A/N: Wrote this for a FTWS Challenge with the prompt “And, as I love you piercingly, I’ll stain your stainless skin”. 

Summary:

She didn’t want him to see her like this. She didn’t want to scare him and she couldn’t explain to him what she needed because she couldn’t even breathe.

Her hands trembled in the space between their bodies, unsure.

Her chest was compressing, her sternum pulsing with every attempt at drawing a breath.

She was drowning.

Desperately, her eyes hung on the glint of the knife’s handle at Riven’s back as if it were a lighthouse.  

Before her hands reached for it.

The Names of Power

It is said that there’s power in a name. Maybe because it carries context, maybe because it can be used as a leash to drag one around. Once a name is created, there’s no easy way of changing what comes with it. Nor cleaning it, if necessary.

Thinking about The Rings of Power dancing around Sauron’s identity, the characters spit his name with hatred or mutter it with fear and it is tossed around so much across all Middle-Earth.

But I find there’s a special treatment when it comes to Sauron’s character himself and his own name. And I like to think about it as my argument of how Sauron didn’t want to be Sauron again.

So based on the words of canon, I’m choosing to believe S1 happens in the era in which Sauron thought of redemption. And I think the name Sauron was a dead weight for him at that time.

I don't think he had planned any future for that name. I don't think he ever wanted to put back on the cape of Sauron, the one who failed even after Morgoth was gone, the one who was betrayed and killed by a creature beneath.

In the series, he repeatedly states his name as Halbrand: to Galadriel and to everyone in Númenor. But then he has that fight with the guild’s men and he becomes violent and vicious. And even in this state of overpowering four on one, of superiority, of his power being displayed, he says:

“Call me Halbrand.”

As if the name Halbrand should mean anything to them. He’s building another name the same way he has done with all the previous ones. So the next time those men hear the name Halbrand they’ll remember the taste of blood in their mouths.

You only build a name you intent to keep.

I don’t think Sauron can live without a name. With this, I mean I don’t think he can tolerate being spoken to as someone without respectable naming. Which is exactly what we see in all his interactions with the guild’s men. He can be a nobody, as he is arriving at Númenor, and play along under the crowns of other people (at least for a while), just as long as you respect his name.

If people won’t have respect for his name, they’ll learn to fear it. Which is what he’s crafting with his actions in this scene.

As opposed to this, when Adar asks him, he remains silent.

Is My Own K-Drama Romance Coming? A Fangirl's Fantasies…🥹

Girls, I don't know about you but I am totally obsessed with K-dramas! There is not a single series that I haven't binged yet. From Boys Over Flowers to Crash Landing on You, I live for the intricate plotlines, swoon-worthy love stories, and of course - the handsome leading men. I have lost count of how many actors' posters are hanging in my room (sorry not sorry neighbors). 

But if I'm being honest, watching all these romantic dramas has gotten me dreaming - when is it going to be MY turn to find my own K-drama-esque romance? Don't get me wrong, I love living vicariously through the characters. But a girl can't help fantasizing about what it would be like to star in her very own show! 

I like to imagine myself as a spunky, independent career woman going about my day in Seoul. Of course, fate (and the drama gods) would intervene when I literally crash into Korea’s most eligible billionaire chaebol heir on the subway. Our eyes meet as our files and coffee go flying, and from that moment I just know - this is the beginning of my love story.

What would follow is 12 rollercoaster episodes of will-they-won't-they tension as we fight our growing feelings due to our different worlds. But of course, true love conquers all. After many tear-jerking almost-goodbyes and heartwarming moments alone watching the sunrise, we finally confess our love for each other. The screen would no doubt fog up as our lips met in a kiss to end all kisses. Fade out to credits as we ride off into the sunset together! 

A girl can dream right? In the meantime, I'll keep hitting replay on my favorite drama OTPs and living out my fantasies one episode at a time. Who knows, maybe one day my own leading man will slide into my DMs...

♟ (a desperate kiss) for Thenry and Delaware

Happy (late) birthday @galacticbois! This is for all the times I tell you you’re not valid and also, objectively, Bad. I never really mean it. I bicker with you the way I bicker with my sister because to me, you’re family. It’s been so long and I am so lucky. 

Little metal and wire bots zipped and zapped around the place, about the same height of her shins and about the same manic energy as her mind. Delaware didn’t take any notice of them, though, ferrying parts to buyers across the universe. She was preoccupied with the blue hologram in front of her, flickering pitilessly because the projector it originated from was almost a century out of date. 

“Little girl,” The alien behind the counter said, his antenna moving slowly back and forth, like a scanner searching for any ounce of patience, “There ain’t nothing here you can afford.” 

Bastard. But of course the old scrapper was. He dealt with people wasting his time all day long. Again, Delaware looked at her little projector. If she had any sense she’d trade it in, but she’d never claimed to have any sense. All heart, no head. And the dusty old knick knack was the first thing she’d ever repaired herself. She was keeping it. 

“What I can’t afford is to have a broken down ship.” Delaware finally looked up at the alien through the grimy yellow air of the pit-slash-market. It was something like thirty feet underground, the atmosphere of this planet too toxic for half of the species that lived here. Days like this, she hated being human. She wished she was something more hardy. Maybe a spliced cockroach of some kind. 

At the end of the universe, there would be cockroaches and Delaware.

“Malyshka, if you don’t got anything to give me, I don’t got any way to help you.” 

“It says right here on this stupid form --” She jammed her finger toward the flickering hologram in front of her. “-- that you accept credit. So why would you say that if you don’t mean it?” 

His inky black eyes blinked at her, left and right like sliding doors. His little purple mouth was screwed up like the bottom of a balloon. Delaware was pretty sure he wasn’t just about to let out air. 

“Fine. Fine.” She snatched her rectangular projector, cutting her finger on the jagged edges and pretending she hadn’t out of grim pride. “I’ll get stranded here and die.” 

“Yeah, yeah.” 

“Do you have a family?” The scrapper was already turning to the next customer. “I’m sure they’d be really proud.” 

“Dosvedanya.”

Delaware kicked dirt and trash all the way out of the market, back to the field of abandoned spacecrafts she called a home. In amongst them was her crashed Receptaculum Purgamentorum, red and rusty and magnificent and proud and a little sad right now but perfect and hers and redeemable. 

The big suicide door opened for her with a soft woosh after she pressed her hand up to it’s scanner. It sounded like welcome home. She tossed her projector to the side, not resentful that it had hurt her, but treating it to a little timeout while she recovered. She went about kicking a stool into place so she could rifle through the cabinets above her head, blowing strands of hair out of her face. She pushed and prodded at junk and found a pile of bandaids, three of which she applied haphazardly to her hand in a starburst formation. Once that was done, she slammed the doors shut. Stepped off her stool. Looked out the little pigeonhole window to the junkyard.

“You and me, Machine. And the rest of this useless planet.” 

“Well.” A deep rumble. Delaware froze, hand on the back of her neck, half way to tying back her filthy hair back from her filthy face. “I wouldn’t say useless. I got you this, didn’t I?” 

Something cool and solid touched her back. Finally, she turned. Looked up, up. A smile that made her chest feel like collapsing. 

“You don’t even wanna look at it?” Thenry offered her the contraption again, this time stopping just before her chest. Delaware grabbed his wrist to hold him in place.

“Have you just been hanging around my ship?” Shit. Her tone was way off. Breathy like she was hopeful. Like he’d sucked all the air out of the shuttle and he was the only source of oxygen. “Creepy bastard.” 

Thenry only grinned at her, hearing her words but knowing her too well not to find the truth beneath them. 

Delaware looked down at the device in the palm of his hand. His quiet laugh said he knew it was because she couldn’t look him in the face anymore. 

“What is it?” 

“You don’t know?” He teased, and she wanted to punch him, directly between his pretty eyes, because she would have if she could concentrate. She squeezed his wrist hard, nails almost digging in. He laughed a little. “Ow.” 

“It’s...” Delaware’s brow lowered. She arched forward, inspecting. “Is this a compression chamber?” 

“Could be.” 

“Right model?” 

“Might work.” 

He was being coy. Now she didn’t want to punch him at all, so she did. Right in his chest. Thenry took a half step back, absorbing the force easily because she hadn’t hit hard; she was too busy grinning up at him, feeling pleased to the point of near nausea. 

“Where did you get this? How did you get this? Damn!” She laughed, disbelieving as she looked down at the big shining metal, twice the size of her fist. It was rare to come across parts that fit her old craft; they’d gone out of manufacture more than a decade ago. “I was down in the pit all day and didn’t even come close!” 

Thenry shrugged. She followed the motion back up to his pretty face. Her heart was beating absurdly fast, trying to escape her chest to smash into his smile. Disgusting. He made her abjectly disgusting. 

This threw her forward at least a month, maybe two in her ship repairs. A couple more parts -- easy parts, too, ones that could be welded down to fit her needs or adapted together -- and there’d be take off. Her little craft, all ready for flying again. God, Delaware had missed it. Her heart ached. She looked around the shuttle, the wires that hung loose from the ceiling and the torn up upholstery and she was so absurdly fond. Her bright eyes found Thenry’s face again. 

It was a two person job, their mouths meeting. He bent down and she listed up on her toes, securing her arms around his neck. She kissed him for a second with her hands in his hair and then broke away to watch him carefully, carefully find a counter to place the compression chamber onto and then went back in, dizzy with wanting. Wanting for so many things. Her breath mingled with his own and she was suddenly choked up. Thenry let her stay not two inches from his face because he understood what this was, too. 

Less than a month it’d take her to fix up her craft. Less than a month before she could set off on her way back to her own dimension. The one where Thenry didn’t breathe at all. 

Delaware felt a gentle tug on her hair, and opened her eyes to see Thenry was smiling at her. Not like before. Smaller. A lie of a smile, because it was sad. “You’re gonna go home.”

I am home, she didn’t say. Because her home just looked like this. Because her home just had these eyes and this smile and that infuriating knack for saying just the things that made her angry but was not this. Because her home was gone. Dead. Because this Thenry wasn’t hers, and they both knew it. 

Delaware kissed him again. Softly, now. Breathing him in. He kissed her back, his fingers threading near the base of her scalp. To think, this would be one of the last times she felt this. This Thenry, not her Thenry, and the only Thenry she would ever have again. 

He pulled away, running a thumb over her cheek because he’d noticed her tears before she did. The pads of his fingers came away darker, the dust of the day on his thumbprint.

“It’s a dirty world out there.” He murmured, and Delaware had forgotten it existed at all.

Okay but I have thoughts on superhero community betting pools, okay? Okay. I know this is the kind of stuff everyone has a headcanon for, so this is my time to spill some of the DC Alpacanon.

So what I'm thinking is basically betting pools had to be regulated after "The Incident."

(I'm gonna stay adaptable to anybody here, personnally I have my own OTPs so my hc Incident is SuperBat getting together, but ymmv, so this event can be anything that would have most of the superhero community betting, like legit they would get Diana, J'onn fucking Jonzz betting, MERA BET ON IT, villains got in on it on the downlow, etc.)

Anyway The Incident led to WAY too much money changing hands. Remember that there are some billionaires in there, and Arthur decided to bet using Gold Bullions. There were also som many incidents cropping up as the bet got "settled": the betting sheet got stolen and accusations of mind reading, and cheating got thrown around. Fights broke out between teams, Dolphin had to sleep on Wally West's couch for some reason, Oracle stopped helping on comms out of spite, the Tean Titans had bet their fucking Headquarters with the Doom Patrol so there was this moving out thing...

It was a mess, the superhero community came this 🤏 close to calling in like… some Oa peacekeeper. A UN representative. Asking idk, fucking Lex Luthor to actually settle the bet (and that's how the superhero community knew it was too much because the villain community had also the same fucking bet running).

So after all this was said and done, rules were put in place:

Betting pools are limited to Team sized. Inter-team betting pools are made common (you win as a team you lose as a team) No involving villains. Betting sheets are held by one individual and the rota must be made official (for example by sticking it on the JLA fridge for the JLA, the game room TV ofr the TT) Intra-"family" betting pools should not spill over into Team betting pools. Magic users cannot "go on a quick trip" during a running long term bet (this after Zatanna used divination shenanigans to find out if 3 years down the road, Hal had finally had a threesome with Barry and Iris) If the bet runs on people's relationships, Telepaths are the bet sheet holders and can't participate

People forbidden from betting ever:

Bart Allen (too chaotic, tried to make his speed clones bet) Bruce Wayne and Olliver Queen cannot bet at the same time Diana's mother (stop bothering her) Hawkwoman (she was mean one time and Clark cried) Jor-El (he's an AI please stop asking him) Only one Conner can bet don't ask his clones Dr Fate (he trolled the last bet one time too many)

[artekai]

Chey, for the character ask! >:D GIMME YOUR HONEST THOUGHTS BRO

I'M SO SORRY I KEPT YOU WAITING I AM BACK FRIEND :D

And yay, it's the girl!!!! :D

What I like about them

What's not to like!!! Herbo! :D Lovable dumbass! :D Mookie defender, just like me ^^ Kai's beloved sister! She's funny and friend-shaped and angsty and traumatized but she's being so brave about it :') And she's not afraid for fight for what she believes in! I like how I added Kai to feel better about rejecting Takuto's reality and then you told me about Chey and tipped the scales back in Mookie's favor :| Now if I were to made the same choice again I'd know that the fate of these two kids is resting in my hands and no matter which reality I choose one of them is gonna inevitably end up losing and aaaaaaaaaa *shakes you*

So, what do you do? Do you subject Kai to identity death, in exchange for the happiness of millions of people? Or do you subject Chey to literal death, in exchange for free will? Dammit, Takuto, pls look what you're doing to your children, you're tearing your family apart 😭😭😭

What I dislike about them

Nothing :) To be clear I think her attitude towards Akechi, Makoto, and Akiren is funny lmao. If I were Akiren I'd be too scared to go anywhere near Kai but too scared to leave him too like

It's perfect lmao.

But please someone tell her that mirroring is natural and we all do it to some degree girl pls sadfdgfhgjhk

She does need to take better care of herself tho!! That I can say haha :')

Favourite moment

I liked when she sided with Takuto in his reality, you go queen!! :3

I also liked the Black Mask AU when she started killing transphobes, absolute queen shit <3

I once joked to myself that if Kai got a Death Note he'd just start killing transphobes and then it'd kill him on the inside because he'd want to reveal himself and be recognized as a hero but he'd know he can't let the secret get out so :') idk. Imagine them working together ^^

She's just so based in general and I love her lol

I also like how ruthless yet so angsty she is in the angel!Chey AU??? Like holy shit O.O

Least favourite moment

Can't think of anything lol

A situation with this character that I want to see explored more

Sorry for always bringing Kai into everything lol but I'm still SO hung up on that "you were always the greater of us" line like ;;;-;;; Does she really see herself as inferior to Kai...? And it's so tragic because she's getting all of the parental approval that's making Kai feel inferior even if he won't admit it to himself and she still feels inferior and he doesn't know that and *EXPLODES*

TAKUTO YOU ARE TEARING YOUR FAMILY APART

But other than that!! I do wanna know more about her family situation before she came to Japan :3 Does she feel homesick? Even if her situation is better now, it's not easy to let go of what you've always known :(

Oh! Also her situation post-canon as an android! :D

An interesting AU for this character

I quite like the selkie AU :3 As for anything new, I can't come up with anything rn lol.

A crossover

The Horizon AU!!! :D We talked a little about her and Artekai last time but I wonder what she would think of the canon characters and the other AIs and their relationships with Kai and all ^^

OTP (or OT3+ etc…. just… favourite ship)

Hmm, I haven't really thought about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Other ships?

Yeah, haven't thought about it lol. I also don't know what kind of people she'd be into, or if she'd be into anyone at all, so I don't wanna assign her someone blindly haha :')

BROTP

Kai and Chey best siblings forever!!!!!! :D It's so good to compare and contrast them. And their dynamic too, lol, I'm sure the teasing is great. You may also include Sumi or Ryuji or Ann or Yusuke if you'd like, lol, that would be a sweet friend group :3

I also like the father-daughter thing she's got going on with Takuto hehe, it's cute ^^

NOTP

...... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

An assortment of headcanons! 

Idk. Imagine Kai addressing her as bootlicker bc of Takuto lol. Imagine them having a sleepover with Sumi and they have the most ruthless pillow fight ever with poor Sumi stuck in the middle lol. Takuto tries to check on them but a pillow almost topples him over as soon as he walks in lol. Imagine playing harmless pranks on their dad like drawing on his face while he sleeps on the couch and stuff like that :3 Them just challenging each other to do increasingly stupid stuff and Takuto losing his mind trying to stop them lol.

OTP PLAYLIST TAG

I was tagged by the amazing @mer-writes !

I’m doing this for my new grishaverse otp, the Denlovs ( more on them is soon to come 👀 ).

How Stef feels about Lev:

White Roses by Charli XCX

“ All I need is you and me alone

Love is like a rose

And baby, let it grow

No one knows the secrets that you know

Come on, pull me close, lay me in the snow

I know you can feel it “

How Lev feels about Stef:

Infinity by Jaymes Young

“ Oh, darling, my soul

You know it aches for yours

And you've been filling this hole, since you were born, oh

'Cause you're the reason I believe in fate

You're my paradise

And I'll do anything to be your love, or be your sacrifice

'Cause I love you for infinity “

Their song:

I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

“ If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied

Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark “

Their angst / breakup song:

Beautiful Crime by Tamer

“ We fight every night for something

When the sun sets, we're both the same

Half in the shadows

Half burned in flames

We can't look back for nothin'

Take what you need, say your goodbyes
