past:

the eldest out of the five children of augustus and theresa nott, theo was born with lots of responsibility and expectations. his mum was.. distant. she’d always rather be elsewhere; and when she was home, she’d spend most of her time in her room. his dad was obsessed with his work, with keeping up the family name. public image meant everything to him, so augustus nott made sure everybody else knew what a perfect little family they were, when the reality was quite the opposite.

while theresa was distant, augustus was more so.. dismissive. very much a ‘my way or the highway’ type of person. no fucking around. never satisfied. you got a good grade? oh, well, too bad because it could be better. you wanna talk about your feelings? fuck off and grow a pair. very much logan roy tbh. at first theo did try to please his father - he’d go on social events and business meetings, smile and laugh and joke here and there, speak like he’s supposed to speak; he’d try to bring in good grades; he’d learn a spell to repair the very expensive vase he broke.. but none of it mattered because none of it was enough. so theo opted out for doing whatever he wanted. in fact, he’d do his best to defy his father in almost every way, to spite him.

when his siblings came along, theo would do his best to provide for them the love and emotional connection they would never get from their parents ( but shhhhhh, no one is supposed to know theo nott cares about something ), especially after their mum left. thinking back on it, theo should’ve known sooner. he shouldn’t have been surprised to come home on the winter holidays just to see his mum had packed all her stuff and left for good. marti, his youngest sister, was 1 at the time. theo wanted to blame and to hate his mother, he did, but he understands why she left. he’s still mad at her, though. he’s visited her a few times at the states. he saw her get remarried, settle in with her new family. eventually, she stopped writing and he decided to let her go.

theo was.. quite the nightmare at thiudreiks. spent more time in detention than the classroom. fights were something frequent; at some point augustus stopped sending howlers because there was no point. theo’s behaviour and his relationship with his father got only worse when theresa left. while not admitting it, augustus was quite affected too. at some point, he blamed theo for his own mum leaving. their relationship had its ups as well, though, as theodore grew up. augustus would confide in him sometimes, his way of bonding being sharing a scotch as he shares some insane story from his youth. theo does love him, despite it all. though he still would love to punch his dad in the face one day.

personality & headcanons:

it’s a well known fact that augustus is a blood purist ( ‘tis our ancestor who came up with the pureblood directory!!!!!1 ) and tries to instill those beliefs into his children, but theo truly couldn’t care less. yes, he does believe he’s better than everybody else, but not because of his blood status, but because of his own abilities and personal qualities. humble king

one word to describe theo would be chaotic. he's very unpredictable, you never know what he'll come up with next. he doesn't think how his actions will affect those around him, he doesn't think of the consequences because that makes it more fun. not only does he love getting into a mess, but he loves figuring out how to get out of it.

authority figures do adore him, though. theo knows how to play up his charm. it's part of why he gets away with almost anything. 

he's a punch first, ask questions later type of person. known for having a short temper sometimes, but he's just as quick to forgive and get over it. 

has decent grades; would be better if he actually put in effort, but quidditch is all theo cares about.

values his freedom a lot, so can be a rebel without a cause and defy others just for the sake of it.

not as much of a bad person as he seems; but he'd rather break a leg than show people he's got a heart. 

a bit of an eldest daughter ™ and he doesn’t even realize it. wants to be the one in charge, always. he just knows whats best!! will take care of you but in a way you don’t realize it. but also very picky with the people he’ll care about.

there is so much hatred and disgust but mostly contempt i've been seeing in my sister's eyes for a few months now; i used to hope that at least she would keep my side or at least remain neutral about me in our family. as much as my parents commentary on my life hurts i got used to it as in it is not surprising to me anymore even if sudden.

it's like she stepped onto being a mean girl once again, like she was back as a teen in school bc of her friend's influence. to me it seems like all that hatred or at least most of it is happening on a projection basis - she's seeing things in me that she can't allow herself for. it hurts, especially when there was this one point since the pandemic where it seems like we've started bonding on an adult level but then something happened and it was never the same. alongside that she'd been getting into fights with our parents and tasted more of the abuse i've had to deal with, witch of course was unpleasant to say the least. it seems like she has chosen the "easy" way out - to submerge her true intenities she's started to discover and fall into behaviour and "solutions" of my parents, our mother, namely. all of that makes me even more alone in the world but if it was just about loneliness it wouldn't hurt as much as it does now.

it was mostly i who used to confront her about our issues even if she was the one who started them and i was okay with that as long as it worked but it doesn't now. and i feel so guilty but i haven't done anything out of ordinary wrong; i always apologize and tried to make things work. i absolutely hate the person she seems to pretend to be, the one that's unbothered but that's only bc of overlooking issues and feeling like she cannot do any wrong with me. tbh, at time she reminds me of my self from early months/years of the pandemic when i was mad at my father (and rightfully so, bc of years of abuse) that even if he did something good i was just remotely happy about it and kept that barrier between us. but the thing with that is that i did that bc i knew he did it mostly to manipulate and bribe me and with my sister i never do that and i never abused her - the only thing was childhood fights which i apologized for, for which she never apologized for. the story i tell myself is that when those tiktoks about older sister trauma started emerging she suddenly saw an opportunity to blame her hurt onto me, a person that is open to hearing another person out, apologize and give reparations. it makes a lot of sense since both of our parents don't care about that, and since she couldn't deal with that herself, this parentificated version of me would have to do. this is so unhealthy; and it all started happening after finishing family therapy on a bad note - i feel like it's been dragging after us ever since then, that even if something nice happens and it's good the default is that i'm the one to blame things onto, i'm the official black sheep and the scapegoat of the family.

seeing how much i've already written here about all of that family shit i've been dealing with for half of my life now scares me, bc of how much space and time it occupies in my mind. i wish i could be liberated. i wish i can do things i've dreamt of ever since i was a child and a teen. i want to be that person for myself. it is hard. it is hard to leave. it feels guilting to even think about that because i know how precious life is and how each moment can be the last with those closest to us. it seems like they don't look at life like that ever since my brother died. for me it was life changing in that way that i've seriously started caring more about people and human connections. i hate this capitalistic idea of individualism and i'm saying that as an introvert and a person who likes to be by themselves; bc even with those traits we need each other, we need community, we need community love and care. and i want that in my life, and it feels like i seriously have to let go of some people but that is so scary, that's my whole life that i've been with them. why can't it at least happen on a good note...

i feel angry about having to write those entries but that seems to be the only way to deal with it now... so much time wasted? but at least now i have a clearer view on it... i guess... wish i could just be... maybe i will soon be like that, like i felt on that solo trip abroad, that suddenly with more space in my mind i had space for ideas concerning me and creativity. i'm rooting for myself. i'd like to change some things about my life but i don't want to be doing those things just so these people get the satisfaction of being "right"... what i mean is... i too know certain things suck and want to change them ((like - hellooo?? i'm the one who suffers the most bc of them??)) but the issue is that i would want people to treat me nicely, care about me and love me even when i'm struggling, even when i'm not at my best; i know i would do those things for them... so ig what i'm trying to say is, if i got better, got my life more in order and they would start being nice to me it would feel like i only deserve love in that shape.... i seriously need to go to a therapist, i need an adult to talk about those issues with....

it hurts,, why despite trying so hurt some people always hurt me on purpose?

and the worst part is that i can't even talk things out with her bc she just goes silent or start screaming more awful things at me. there is no conversation pit, just corners.

[hyunverse]

ur so right that totally makes sense. i am such a hopeless romantic and i swear that’s one of the things that makes me so attracted to hyunjin. like he’s just so emotionally intelligent yk ?? he just gets it. and i love that he shows his love for things (love itself specifically) through his artwork. i’ve always done the same so it’s so nice to have an idol that i feel like is so similar to me yk? he’s 100% a man written by a woman

AND STRAWBERRY BLONDE MINHO PLS BRING IT HERE. and yes seungmin at mama awards was so good like we need to see more forehead from him. it always makes him look older i feel like, which is such a good thing bc i can find him sexy instead of just absolutely adorable. in the recent racha vlog w the maknaes, i was actually baffled at how effortlessly perfect seungs hair is. like he just flicks it back and it looks like it took 45 mins to style it ??? how ??? and why not me ??? blue hyune and seungmin would kill me. but i will say, if we got blue han again…. i don’t think i’d survive. like genuinely i would pass out. and yes let’s pls go on a little expedition and raid all their shampoo so we can get what we want 😇😇😇

JHDNJHBD AND it's so funny that ure mentioning seungmin's forehead too cs like, jokingly (maybe not really jokingly) i put "i want to see more of seungmin's forehead" as my new years resolution ^__^ it's a valid resolution ok. i gotta do what i gotta do 🤓 the racha log was so heart-warming 🥹 just our boys being boys. playing games together. super duper wholesome, i melted at the sight, especially jeongin 🥹 baby bread just eating some fries while playing. so so endearing. ure right, seungmin's hair is effortlessly beautiful. wonder how it would be like to run my fingers through his hair. . . 💭 lets go im driving to da cuties dorm and we are gonna blast skz the whole time, baby!

Lucky One

[kol mikaelson × reader]

summary: reader is troubled about her future and disappears for a while to think.

pairing: kol mikaelson × fem!vampire!reader

word count: 2.6K

warnings/content: steroline is happy; temporary loss of an engagement ring; siblings counseling ™; caroline is the best friend anyone could ask for; hints of a break up; happy ending!!; a tiny hint at klaroline but you blink & you miss it.

A/N: another one of my WIPS. thinking about making this one a series tbh.

➶ ➷

They haven't been on heated arguments, nor had they've been ignoring each other. They talked normally, but the problem was— why couldn't she hold a conversation with him for more than ten minutes without averting her eyes? Almost as if she couldn't face him.

Kol Mikaelson searched literally and figuratively for what he had done wrong. Yet, nothing came to mind. But by Y/N's reactions he must have. Why couldn't she just say it? Yell at his face, scream, curse, anything but this mad driven silence.

“Why are you moping around, brother? This energy isn't good for a man that is about to get married in two months, is it?” Rebekah strode in the room as if she owned it, a smirk dancing on her lips before it disappeared as she saw Kol's amiss gaze. “Alright, what is it?”

In Kol's hands laid a sparkling ring. Y/N's engagement ring. He stared at it as if the answers were inside the diamond.

“What's that?” Rebekah asked, getting closer to inspect the jewelry.

The corner of his lips tugged downwards. It had been the first sign of emotion he had shown after fifteen minutes. “That, my dear sister,” He began, twirling the ring between his fingers slowly. “... is my fiancé's ring. Which is supposed to be on her fourth finger of her left beautiful hand... and it is right here.”

Rebekah frowned, crossing her arms. She hadn't seen her friend—one that she already considered a sister-in-law—around the compound when she arrived. And by her brother's behaviour she supposed they had an argument so that was the reason.

“Perhaps she needed to cool off. I'd ask what you said to make her do that but I don't wanna get in the middle of a lover's quarrel—”

“I didn't say anything.” Kol interjects, closing his palm around the ring and burying it in his pocket as he got up, “We didn't fight at all these days, Bekah.”

Her eyes softened, “I'm sure it is nothing then, Kol. She might have need some space. Who knows?” She squeezed his shoulder. “Don't fret, Y/N will come back.”

But why, why had she taken off the ring? Was this her way of leaving him? Not a letter, not a goodbye kiss, not even a warning?

Don't fret, Rebekah said. Y/N will come back.

He just hoped his sister was right.

When Y/N turned off the engine, a breath she didn't even know she was holding was let out. Her heart had been on her throat the whole drive from New Orleans to Mystic Falls. She had never felt more anxious in her entire life and the vacancy spot of her fourth finger seemed heavier than ever.

“I'm here.” She sent the message. Desperate for a reply in the form of a hug from the person. She needed them more than anyone else at that moment.

Y/N was almost at the verge of falling apart before the door flew open.

“Y/N?” Stefan Salvatore tilted his head, confused. “Come in. Is everything okay?” He noticed her distraught look as she walked in. He hadn't been told Y/N was visiting, Caroline didn't mention anything, so it was a surprise.

“Yeah, I—”

“You're here!”

Y/N was then engulfed in two arms as blond strands blinded her vision. Her smile was instant, and she hugged her back. Caroline Forbes, her heavenly medicine.

“Hi.”

“Hi. How was the drive? I'm sure you're exhausted.” The blonde gave her a sympathetic expression as she took her hands. “I prepared the spare bedroom just for you—”

“No, Carol—” Y/N held her friend back from leading her to the said room, “I'm not staying the night, I just-- I needed to talk to you.”

Looking around the living room, Y/N realised Stefan was nowhere to be seen. He must've sensed this didn't concerned him so he didn't want to intrude.

“Okay.” Caroline replied softly, “Do you want to go for a walk or stay here?”

Y/N thought it over.

“A walk would be great.”

Caroline grinned, “I know just the place, then. Come.”

A few years back, in their high school days, Y/N often searched for a place where she could be alone and in silence. So she could run away from all the crazy stuff happening in the town.

Inside the cemetery, within trees and a little bungled up for being there too long; there was a small shed. She'd spend her afternoons there, reading books, studying for finals or looking for something in the new plan being executed against the new threat by her group of friends. A group that she had lost contact with, except for Caroline. The girl had always been her shoulder to cry on, her best friend, her sister throughout everything.

Caroline knew about the safe spot Y/N had. Sometimes she'd go make her some company even if she thought it was quite creepy.

“I can't believe you still remember this place.” Y/N mumbled, holding onto a nearby tree so she could pass above a high branch.

Caroline hummed, following her steps, “I remember everything. You just don't give me enough credit for it.”

Y/N rolled her eyes.

Finally entering the shed, Y/N smiled a little. “Half of the time I had in a week was spend here...”

“Books and pens all around you.” Her best friend completed, admitting a soft expression.

Caroline sat down with a sigh, cringing at the old wood creaking under her. “So, let's talk. What's bugging this little head of yours?”

Caroline Forbes was an observant person. She wasn't stupid. She could see the empty finger on Y/N's left hand since the girl had stepped on her doorstep. Besides, her tone in the phone call was unnerving and Caroline knew her best friend. She was struggling, probably because of her relationship.

A bitter smile creaked her lips open and she let out a sigh, “I don't know, Carol... It's just-- I should be happy, shouldn't I?” The exchanged a look, “Why aren't I?”

“Is this about the wedding?”

The silence responded for her.

“Are you having doubts—”

“No.” Y/N cuts her off quickly, “Absolutely not. I love him; I am in love with him. Or else I wouldn't have said yes.”

“Then, what is it, honey?”

Y/N's shoulders fell as she shook her head, a hopeless expression of agony took over her features.

“What if- What if I don't like it? What if I'm just not cut out for all of this? Falling in love... Getting married. What if I screw it up, Caroline? And make him hate me and regret everything we ever had?”

“Tell me you are joking, Y/N.” Caroline gave her a appalled look. Y/N didn't say anything. “Look, if anything this should be the other way around because—”

Y/N groaned, hiding her face between her hands, “Don't even start, Caroline.”

“—he's a Mikaelson.” She carried on, “But we're not here to talk about that. How could you even think he'd regret being with you? How could anyone think that, Y/N?” Caroline reached for her hand and she looked up eyes glistening with the tears she had been holding. “You're amazing. You're so much more than what you think you are. And the way he looks at you?” The blonde vampire shook her head, pretending disbelief. “It's like you're the only one in the room even with a thousand others around. That man is head over heels for you and I'm sure he will always be. Isn't that their memo? Always and Forever or something?”

That made Y/N smile, drying her cheeks. “Yes. And I know how you figured that out.”

Caroline raised her eyebrows, and Y/N smile instantly died. She cleaned her throat.

“The point is: he loves you. He is in love with you. I'm certain there's nothing you could possibly do to make him hate you or anything like that, honey.”

Y/N breathed out, a weight seemed to have been lifted off of her shoulders. That's what she needed. Her best friend's words. Maybe, deep down, Y/N was just homesick.

“What about you? I get what cold feet is, Y/N. I've had it. But do you want to get married?”

A crease formed on Y/N's forehead; she was thinking. It wasn't a bad question that her friend had asked, in fact, that's precisely why she needed Caroline: she was always sincere.

Y/N had been there to talk down Caroline of the crazy thoughts she had at her wedding with Stefan, right before she walked down the aisle. It was only fair Caroline was there for her now.

She left that night with a made up mind, assured that her doubts would be gone as soon as she reached her final destination.

Y/N felt her heart up in her throat when she didn't find the ring inside her bedside table. She was one hundred percent certain that she had left it there right before she decided to leave for Mystic Falls. Now, where the hell was it—

“You're back.”

Her neck cracked when she turned around quickly to see who it was. Nevermind, that voice she'd recognise even hearing it through fifty thousand hard walls. “Kol,” She smiled softly, walking towards her fiancé and pressing her lips to his as if they had been away from each other for a century.

He grinned through her mouth, leaning back a bit to stare at her with a contemplating gaze, “Hi, darling. Everything okay?”

Suddenly her shoulders tensed up as the question brought the ring back to her mind instantly. She caressed the empty spot in her finger subconsciously.

“Love.” Kol traveled his hands from her neck till her cheeks, lifting her face so she could meet his eyes. There was something thumping painfully inside his ribcage. “Is there something you want to talk about?”

Y/N wrapped her arms around his neck so he wouldn't notice the missing jewelry, “What?”

Kol analysed her eyes for a long second before he stepped back, eyes drifting to his shoes as he sighed. Y/N frowned, “What is it?” He couldn't have noticed... right?

Every thought disappeared as quickly as it came when the diamond appeared right in front of her. On his outreached hand. That was when Y/N truly realised how much of a fool she actually had been in thinking she could've hidden it from Kol Mikaelson. Her doubts. Her assurances. Most of it came from him. How could he not see anything? Something that was happening right under his nose?

“Is that what you were looking for?”

As she stared at the wedding band in his open palm an unknown feeling begin to creep up from bellow her neck.

“Kol, I can explain.” Y/N begin to reason but he shook his head with a soft gaze in her direction. She stopped talking when he approached, pulling a strand of her hair behind her ear. Staring into his eyes she could see he carried a whirlwind of emotions.

“You don't have to,”

Her forehead creased.

“Y/N... I love you.” He whispered after leaving a lingering kiss on her cheek. And when his hands left her face she felt the spot turn cold immediately. “You know that, don't you, darling?”

“Of course,” Her voice was shaky and she couldn't stop thinking this conversation wouldn't end well. “Look, the only reason I took it off was because—”

“Just, listen to me for a second, alright?” He cut her off and she frowned frustrated. “You're it for me, darling. I have no doubt in that. But, if you are regretting something, then know that I won't hold a grudge if you don't wanna do this anymore.”

Y/N studied his eyes for a long second before a disbelief look took charge of her expression.

“You doubt that I love you?” She stepped back and he lowered his hands, holding the ring firmly. “Why do you think I said yes in the first place, Kol?”

“That's all that you heard, Y/N?”

Her defensive demeanour switched to a guilty one quickly. If she were in his place and her significant other had left like she did... she would've thought the same.

“I'm sorry, my love.” Y/N apologized. Kol stood with a contained expression. “I didn't mean to leave I just-- Kol. I was scared. But that does not mean I don't love you. You're it for me, too.”

“Then, why...”

She inhaled deeply, her cheek might bleed any minute now cause she was biting it down from anxiety.

“I was scared you'd regret marrying me.”

Kol lost the focus for a while and when he came back, he thought he heard voices and must've mistaken what his girlfriend just said.

“You already are regretting it, aren't you?”

That got the Original Vampire on the move. He opened his mouth like a fish many times before something actually came out. Tipping her chin up with his pointing finger, he felt his ribcage contract at the sight of tears falling like a waterfall on her cheeks.

“Who put these foolish ideas in your head, darling?” Kol dried her tears softly. Her breathing faultering and she latched onto his arms as he would somehow make her breath better. He did. He always did. “How could I ever regret marrying you? The love of my life? The reason of my desire to be a better person every day?” His played with her hair as she cried on his chest. “Believe me,” He pulled away a bit so he could stare at her eyes as he assured her, “This could never happen.”

“Yeah?” She sniffled, breathing properly again. Kol smiled fondly, nodding in afirmation. “You'll handle my bad mood on Mondays and insomniac nights? Cause, that's a thing. You need to know—”

Rolling his eyes, Kol pulled her up in his arms by her waist and she cried out his name.

“I know all of this, darling.” Kol says, putting her down after spinning her around. “Insomniac nights, terrible Mondays, those missing Caroline Forbs' days...”

Y/N blushed, burying her face on his neck. He chuckled.

“I love you. I love all of you, Y/N. Not despite, not except, but because.”

She huffed, shaking her head as she analysed the man in front of her. He tilted his head to the side in curiosity. She thought he looked like a puppy.

“I can't believe I got to have you all to myself. It's insane how incredibly lucky I got...” Y/N mumbles to herself as she travel her fingers through his sharp jawline. Kol smirks. And as he is one for the dramatics—Klaus' words—he pulls her down by her neck, holding her in place as if in a dance move. Y/N yelps, widened eyes in surprise.

“I'm the lucky one, my love. Trust me.”

After a long and meaningful kiss that left them both breathless, Y/N mumbled against his mouth.

“Give me... my ring... back.”

“If you ask nicely,”

Pushing him to the wall, almost causing a hole, she locked his wrists on top of his head with both of her hands. A mischievous grin grew on her lips when she saw his eyes darken.

“Is that nice enough for you?”

It was no news that an Original had ten times the power of a regular vampire; but Kol didn't move an inch. He let her have control. He quite enjoyed when she did it actually.

“It will be when you come closer...”

There is no need to say that the night was quite eventful, is there?

[radkindoffeminist]

I'm still somewhat new to radical feminism, so excuse me if the question doesn't sound right but I tried articulating it to the best of my ability.

How do I approach the issues with the patriarchy without becoming a misandrist? I want to be able to recognize the issues without harshly judging the first man I see. I want to be careful but not prejudiced. I think anger is justified but I'm worried that I'll become paranoid, hateful and think that all men are out to get me, it wouldn't be good for my mental health. How do you balance it?

You can't be prejudice towards men. The word means ‘preconcieved opinion that is not based on reason or actual expereince’. Men’s hatred of women is based on their twisted idea of what women do and like a dozen bad stories between them. Their prejudice is based on their hate and dehumanisation of women such that they will always see us as lesser -not as smart or as funny or as amazing. Women’s hatred of men? That's based on statistics showing us just how awful men are and hundreds of awful experiences with men from catcalling to abuse to being insult to other men defending all of these actions. Hating your oppressor because they oppress you is not on the same level as hating an oppressed class because you think they're just lesser.

So tbh, there’s no way around it. Men are the problem. All men. Every single one. Because for every man who’s a rapist, there’s ten men who’ll defend him. For every man who’s an abuser, there’s a dozen who’ll defend him and a dozen more who won’t defend him but are still a shitty partner (eg: using weaponised incompetence, invalidating feelings, ignoring their partner, and a bunch of other things which are abusive but just make for an awful partner). And then there’s catcallers and men who get nasty after rejection and men who lie and manipulate to get what they want and men who disrespect women’s boundaries.

And also every single man benefits even if he doesn't see it. I had an argument with someone the other day over a TikTok where a woman said she was proud of her son comforting the mother of his kid after she stayed up all night to look after the kid. Providing emotional and physical support for your partner should be the bare minimum in a relationship but other people didn't see it that way. This person was insisting that the bare minimum wasn't being celebrated (because boasting about this on the internet for everyone to see and saying that this makes you proud of him isn't a celebration of his actions???) and that at least he wasn't a deadbeat. That's the way we judge men: yeah, he’s not the best but he’s better than those other men. That's why every man can be lazy in a relationship: women will always view it as better than being single, even if the men suck and are awful to them, women are told to stay and deal with it because at least he’s not abusive/a deadbeat dad/an even worse person.

So to answer your question: I don't balance it. I just hate men and see misogyny in every one of their actions. I loved my dad growing up and now I just see the weaponised incompetence that my mother is blind to and his lack of housework, especially for the mental load. I used to love my brother but now I see the beginnings of an incel if he’s not too careful and I also see a boy who benefited from the ‘boys mature more slowly’ and ‘men are allowed to be angry and agressive’ rhetoric and I see someone who continues to disrespect boundaries. I remember saying something to my sister when I was younger that I would never be surprised if he got an assult or domestic violence charge based on his behaviour (which, granted, did improve as I got older but he still has a violent/angry/aggressive streak which went almost completely unpunished) and the same is still true now. I didn't see these men who I love and trusted in the same or better light despite my growing feminist beliefs; I began to see them, much like every man, in a worse light. You cannot shut it off for a handful of men. It doesn't go away.

Trouble In Paradise

(This is a Yandere Kyoutani x Cute Fem Reader x Yandere (Platonic) Older Bro Iwa-chan  fic :)) This takes place after high school, in a universe where everyone still plays volleyball. 

TW; Jealousy!, turns into dubcon/noncon!!!!, !unwanted choking!, As I’ve said in the past-every character I write for (in my head) are like two feet taller than you!, Possessive behaviour!, he’s highkey soft for u but is still a bastard lol (love him), marking kink!, creampie!, daddy kink!, mentions of Oikawa lowkey being a Yandere too, etc.. 

Kyoutan deserves the world ;)) I love him ajadskhafkah also, sorry if my use of ‘chan’ is cringey, I think it’s funny af tbh, and since I’m Japanese, I’ll do what I want lmao. Anyways, sorry if this sucks, I tried like 5 different ways to write this, and this was the only one that ended up being somewhat decent. ) 

Skipping to the loud gym, your skirt swishes against the fat of your thighs. Your cute ass can be seen peeking out from under the pleated fabric, leaving those around you to coo at your pretty self. Without meaning to, you catch the eye of those around you. 

Seeing the gym’s doors, you push them open with an excited vigour, happy to finally be with your big brother and boyfriend. 

Immediately when you enter, you see Oikawa being swarmed with his fanclub, leaving a straight shot to the rest of the team. Spotting your bad-boy bf, you squeal in delight, gunning at him at top speed. He’s currently sitting on the bleachers, your brother seemingly scolding him for his RBF and bad attitude, but his eyes snap up in an instant, recognising your voice from anywhere. 

An uncharacteristic smile is present on his pierced face, standing to his feet, he readies himself to catch you and twirl you around. That’s a plus of being in shape; picking up your supes cute gf whenever you please! 

That is, until a certain pretty boy steps in the way. 

Tooru has his arms out, in a stance that will allow him to catch you with ease. Before you could slow down and avoid him, he yoinks you up and off of the floor, holding you in a tight embrace, “(Your Name)-chan! I knew you’d come visit me! I’ve been waiting all day for you, Cutie!” The glares from your boyfriend and brother are instantaneous. 

Iwa looks ready to scalp the brunet, whilst Ken looks ready to scrap-possibly even catch a body. Oikawa’s fans look absolutely bloodthirsty, jealous of your cute self being in the arms of the equally cute male. 

Pouting, you push at the pretty boy’s chest, “Put me down! I’m not here for you!” He coos at you, moving in to kiss you on the cheek, only for you to push him away by his face, “Stop it, you’re being weird! Put me down, I wanna see Ken-Chan!” 

By this point, your boyfriend and brother have made their way to you, ready to rip him to shreds, “Put my sister down, Shittykawa! Don’t be a perv!” He karate chops the starlet on the head, causing him to drop you in surprise. 

“Iwa-Chan! You’re so mean to me! Now look what you did, (Your Name)-Chan is hurt-” Kentarou catches you in an instant, cradling you in his scarred arms. Oikawa’s mouth gapes in shock, brain not computing the fact that the dyed haired male moved at lightning speed. 

“No, she ain’t,” He gruffs out, smooching you on the cheek. You giggle, hugging the tatted male tightly. Your (size) breasts smoosh against his buff chest, as you start to pepper kisses all over his face, “She ain’t ever gettin’ hurt if I’m here,” He places a kiss on your lips, relishing how you immediately kiss back. 

“Ken-Chan! I missed you so much!” He rolls his eyes, the tips of his ears turning red. Readjusting his hold on you, he cradles your ass instead of your thighs, causing you to gasp, “Kyoutan, don’t be a perv!” 

He smirks, readying himself to respond, only for your brother to beat you to it, “Yeah, ‘Kyoutan,’ don’t be perving on my little sister!” Redirecting his smug look, he sticks his tongue out at your fuming sibling. 

“Bite me.”

The look on Hajime’s face is priceless, “Biting you isn’t the only thing you need to worry about-” 

“Haji,” His attention immediately snaps to your sweet face, which is currently pouting, “Don’t threaten him! He’s precious to me!” Before Kyoutani can say something smart, you rest your head against his neck, practically nuzzling him, which also shuts him up. 

The spikey haired ace is immediately offended, “I-wha-(Nickname), aren’t I precious to you? Aren’t I your most wonderful older brother?” You giggle, nodding your head. 

“Yes! But Ken-Chan is baby-”

“(Nickname)-Chan, aren’t I baby?! I feel so left out!” Oikawa and his fangirls are off to the side, watching the interaction. Whilst Oinks looks positively offended and left out, the girls are angry that you’ve stolen the captain’s attention. 

“No, you’re the ugly side character,” Hajime states nonchalantly. 

“Yea, yer uglier than the dirt under (Your Name)’s shoe,” Offended noises and indignant hand movements follow their words, as his fans start to shout in anger and shock. 

You lightly whack Kyoutani on the shoulder, scolding him with your eyes, “Haji, Kyoutan, don’t be mean! Tooru is pretty,” The setter preens in delight, “But, he’s dumb. So, he’s the dumb, but pretty, character!” 

His hands grasp his chest as if you’d stabbed him, “(Nickname)-Chan, my heart, it’s breaking-” He fake gags, causing your brother and boyfriend to roll their eyes, “The only way to fix it…. Is to get a kiss!” He bolts towards you, causing you to shriek in surprise. Placing you on your feet, you’re quickly placed behind the dyed haired man, ‘Mad Dog’ making an appearance. 

Practically frothing at the mouth, he snarls at Oikawa, whilst Hajime sticks out his foot, effectively tripping him. Once falling, the pierced male yanks him up by his shirt collar, and hauls him up to his feet. Now face to face with the scary male, Oikawa gulps in fear, “I’ll kill ya, put ya in the ground, Pretty Boy. Once yer dead, Iwaizumi’ll dance over yer corpse.”

“Yes, I think I will,” Hearing his bestie agree with the sentiment, Oinks finally realises that he messed around too much. 

“Now, yer gonna apologise to (Your Name), or I’ll shave yer head,” Now fully standing, Kyoutani moves out of the way, allowing the setter to apologise face-to-face. 

Dropping to his hands and knees, he starts to bow at you as if you’re royalty, “I’m sorry, (Your Name)-Chan! I promise I didn’t mean to offend you! Please don’t let Mad Dog-Chan and Iwa-Chan kill me!” Giggling at his over the top words, you nod your head. 

“It’s okay, Tooru-Chan,” You pat his head reassuringly, “I know you love your fangirls more than me,” This causes the gym to erupt into cheers, as the other girls start to swarm the male. You can hear him scream in fear, but are quickly pulled away from the crime scene, and taken out to the car park. 

Your brother holds you close to him, glaring at your boyfriend who looks equally as angry. There’s a heavy silence between the three of you, as you’re squished into a hug by your brother. 

“Haji, why’re you holding me so tight? Don’t you have to get back to practice?” He doesn’t answer, instead speaking to your boyfriend. 

“Take her home, Kyoutani. I’ll deal with him now, you can deal with him later,” He nods, taking you from your older brother’s arms, and practically carrying you to his motorcycle. Setting you on the back of the bike, he opens the back hatch of the bike, and pulls out your pastel pink helmet. Placing it onto your head tenderly, he flips the eye cover up, allowing you to see him clearly for a moment. 

Smiling up at him (he can only see your eyes crinkle), you speak, “Hi!” His pissed off face immediately dissolves, causing him to smile at your cute self. 

“Hi, Baby,” Grabbing his rough hands, you interlace your fingers between his. 

“Aren’t you going to practice, Kyo-Ken?” He rolls his eyes, but gives your hands a squeeze. 

“Nah, I gotta take my Baby Girl home, so I can show her who she belongs to,” He gives you a wink, leaving you to splutter in surprise. 

“You-you can’t say that in public!” Chuckling, he releases your hands and flips your eye cover down, before chucking on his own helmet, and settling on the front of the bike. 

Pulling Your arms around his waist, he waits for you to settle against him. He relishes your tight hold, as you practically cling onto him for dear life. 

Starting up the engine, he kicks up the kick stand, and speeds off to your shared apartment. 

-

Your body bounces off of the mattress, as you let out a small scream. A giggle escapes your lips, as you smile up at Kyoutani, “Ken-Ken, are you still mad?” He nods, his hands pulling off your cropped sweater, and pushing up your skirt to expose your pastel yellow panties. 

“That ugly bastard should’a know better than t’a put his disgusting hands on ya,” He practically growls, undoing your bra and letting your pretty tits flop out. Kissing up your neck, he sucks hickies onto the previously unblemished skin. A small moan leaves your lips at the feeling, as he starts to pinch and twist your nipples. 

“Daddy!” He releases your neck with a ‘pop,’ smirking down at you. 

“Yes, Princess? Do ya need something?” He rubs the skin on the inside of your thighs, purposefully missing your dampening cunny, “Do ya need yer Daddy to touch yer Princess parts?” 

Nodding, you plead with him, “Yes! Please touch me!” 

Chuckling, he pulls your panties off of you, letting the cool air of your shared room caress your cunny. Running a single finger up your slit, he barely taps your clit, causing your hips to jerk up and off of the mattress, “Yer such a sensitive baby, I love ya so much.”

“I love you too, Daddy! Please fuck me!” He hums, mulling over your words. 

“Want me to show everyone who ya belong to?” You nod your head rapidly. 

“Yes! Yes, please!” Kissing you on the lips sloppily, he reaches down to pull out his cock from his Adidas sport shorts. His tip is pierced, and when he rubs it against your clit, you practically see stars. 

“My good, cute, polite girl,” He gathers your slick on his tip, before he pushes in. Your walls burn as you try to accommodate to his thick size, practically sucking the air from your lungs. A wanton moan is heard from you, as he waits for you to accept him comfortably, “Relax, Princess. Let me int’a yer pretty cunny.” 

“Da-Daddy,” Your arms wrap around him, clawing at his shirt covered back, “You’re too big!” He shushes you softly, rubbing your clit with two fingers. Your juices slowly drip out of you and onto his cock. After a moment, he begins to move, practically rearranging your guts. 

“You’ve taken me before, Princess. I know ya can do it, just let me in,” He starts to thrust into you at a medium speed, rubbing your clit at the same pace. Your eyes glaze over, practically rolling into the back of your head. 

His cock is heavy and girthy inside of your slick walls, spearing you open with each thrust. Moans and keens leave your throat, as you grip onto him. Your hips meet his, your juices spraying onto the both of you. 

“Look at my pretty baby, so fucked out already,” He uses the hand that’s not on your clit to grasp your throat, causing your body to go rigid and eyes to go wide. 

“Ken-” He shuts you up with a kiss, swallowing your words. You try to push his hand off, but it’s to no avail. He continues to fuck into you, your cunny still sucking him in, even as you’re scared of his actions. 

“Fuck, yer practically milking me for all I’ve got,” He removes his lips from yours, his grip becoming a bit tighter, “Ya want yer Daddy to cum in ya? Yea ya do.”

Now, you’re really pushing against him. You’re not on the pill, “Ken, pull out!” He shushes you, rubbing on your clit even harder than before, trying to make you cum before him. Kentarou relishes the small tears at the corner of your eyes, loving how cute you look. 

Without you wanting to, you cum with a small gush of liquid, a whine echoing through your chest. He follows not long after you, filling you to the brim with his virile cum. 

With a grunt and a huff, he pulls out of you, loving how his cum looks leaking out of you. Removing his hand from your throat, he looks down once more, realising that you don’t look very happy. 

“You didn’t listen to me,” You rub the hand mark around your neck, as you sit up, moving away from him. 

“Awe, don’t be like that, Baby,” He reaches out for you, but you move away from him. 

“I don’t want to be near you right now, Kyoutani. You didn’t stop…” Moving off of the bed, you stand to your feet. Going to your dresser, you grab a week’s worth of clothes, including your work uniform. Pulling on a new shirt, you fix your previous outfit, as you start to cry. 

“Wait-I-ya-ya aren’t leaving me, are ya?” For once, the spitfire male is at a loss for words. 

“No, I just need time away from you. You say that Tooru is bad, but you hurt me a lot just now. I’m calling Haji, and I’m going to stay with him for a little while,” Your brother has your daily items there, just because you’d sleep over sometimes, so you aren’t too worried about not having soap and such. 

Grabbing your phone from your purse by your bedroom door, you call him, Ken watching you with wide eyes, “Haji, please pick me up. Kyoutani and I got into a fight.”

-

Hajime helps you into his car, before turning to the still shocked male you call your boyfriend. He hasn’t said a word, if anything, he looks shocked beyond anything else. 

Shutting the car door, your brother finally speaks, “I knew you were no good for her. Your jealousy got the better of you.”

“I didn’t mean to, it-it just-”

“Got out of control?” Your brother raises an eyebrow, arms crossing over his chest, “Yeah, I’ve noticed. You hurt my little sister,” He moves closer to the dyed haired man, eyes flashing with anger, “You choked her out. Why? Because Oikawa made you jealous? Despicable.”

“It isn’t like that! We-we were having se-” He holds up a hand, stopping your boyfriend from continuing. 

“I don’t want to hear it. Just know that if you come near her without her allowing you to be in her presence, I’ll kill you. I never wanted you to be with her, and you just proved my fears correct.”

Realisation dawns on Kyoutani, “Wait- is this why ya wanted me to come home with her? So I could fuck up?” 

Hajime smirks, “Of course. My little sister is too good for you. Now, fuck off, before I do something you won’t like.” 

Ken watches as you go, tears brimming his eyes. He should’ve known your brother would find you too precious to be with him. He most likely asked Oikawa to help him, seeing as the pretty boy was in the car with you, looking as perfect as ever. 

He fucked up, and now Hajime has won their rivalry. 

[mycptsdstory]

So since I was so sheltered in my childhood and I was mostly living in a different country, I never heard of Jimmy Savile. Well, until the truth came out about him.

When everything came out about Savile (I was permanently living in England 🇬🇧 at that point), my family were deeply threatened. Like, they hated the fact people came out with their story, I felt like I couldn't come out with mine because my family were so deeply offended. Tbh, I never understood why they were so scared and threatened. I know my mother absolutely loved Savile and she still kept all of her merch from him because she believed him over the countless of women.

Anytime a celebrity came out that they were a peadophile and people were angry at that celebrity... My family HATED that. I would hear "how dare they ruin a man's reputation. How dare they! He has been a tremendous man, helping people and they are ruining his reputation. How despicable! How very dare they".

My family LOVED saying "hOw dArE yOu" fucking bs.

All the time, you would hear it in every sentence. It's so stupid.

I remember my sister's husband reaction to Savile was "they shouldn't come out with their stories. They should be grateful to be touched by an honoured man who did good in the world". How fucking fucked up is that? You don't say shit like that. It wouldn't surprise me IF my sister's husband is a peadophile. Another reason why left, I was surrounded by them.

My family always supported peadophiles and thinking their behaviour is "okay". Like... How messed up can you fucking be? Yet people wonder why I don't like my family, I don't love my family and I want nothing to do with them. Come on, it's not that hard to figure out. Good lord 🙄

[atypicalacademic]

👀👀👀👀 hello I am back for more because I also need to know these things about Leonard Cousland please and thank you?? 8D 8D 🍎: Do they share any features or traits with any family members? 🎂: Has your OC have any contradictory interests or traits to the first preception people have of the? How do they surprise people? 🍹: Does your OC have any funny anecdotes told about them? I am a creature of habit with my asks, apologies :) :) hope you're having a great day!

AAAA I love you 🥺🥺 Thank you for asking me about my Boy; Leo is the youngest of three Cousland siblings, Fergus being the eldest, then Aurelia, and then finally him (you can imagine the amount of hangups that would've caused)

🍎 Other than like, yknow, family resemblance, Leo and Aurelia share a taste in fine things. They've both travelled more than is customary for Ferelden nobility, and both their tastes are more...cosmopolitan, if you will, than say, Fergus'. Other than that, they're both very ambitious, as evidenced by the fact that whichever Cousland becomes the warden gets the Crown in their respective worldstates. All three of them are also excellent dancers. 😌

🎂 Two things; one is his loyalty. Leo's known often as a kind of trickster, and also slated as irreverent to the point of callousness. In truth he's extremely loyal, to the point where his life is governed by his loyalties. He would do anything for his family or someone he's sworn himself to. The thing is, that loyalty is hard-earned, and only very few people outside of his family has it. During the Blight, Zevran and Wynne managed to secure it, as well as Anora whom he literally married. That's it.

The other thing people don't catch about him is his deep, abiding melancholy. He appears vivacious and even arrogant, so his pain always slips under the radar. Despite having a very loved childhood, he's always struggled with feelings of loneliness and an inability to relate to most others, of being constantly misunderstood. He's constantly felt haunted by emptiness, and this is a feeling that followed him through adulthood.

🍹Has remarked, out loud, "I think he's an idiot" about Cailan, then-King of Ferelden at the first Landsmeet he's attended with his father after his entry into Society. It's only the Cousland name that kept him from being accused of outright treason tbh. As prince-consort, Leo is very loved by the people but the Landsmeet has....objections to some of his past behaviour among "peers". In his defence he's almost always right and they're almost always wrong. But his sister never misses an opportunity to tell everyone of his grand debut.

another unsolicited relationship advice post:

okay. i know that there’s probably thousands of relationship advice posts on here. but anyway. to my younger followers, if i have any:

if anyone that you’ve just met declares that you’re “girlfriend material” or “boyfriend material” and that you must simply meet their parents NOW! or some other ridiculously short interval (like a week say), instead of, idek, like a month or two into your relationship, know that that is a possible red flag for trying to push the relationship too fast.

i say this as again, bc on some buzzfeed fb post about supposed “nice guys” i commented about my high school stalker/creeper from 2012/2013. who, when i first met him in 2012 at public school, he insisted that after two days of knowing him that i simply “have to meet my (his) mum and my sisters right now! bc you’re girlfriend material and i LOVE you!”

like woah! dude! i’ve known you for a grand total of two fucking days! i absolutely don’t have to meet your family RIGHT NOW (although if i’d ever been stupid enough to actually date my stalker back then, i would’ve had to meet his mum or one of his 4 sisters/all of them at once; at some point anyway…. bc they would’ve had to drive us to dates etc bc neither of us had our Ps (provisional drivers licence here in aus) yet at the time)). because i’m pretty sure the normal window is about 1-2 months? maybe 3-4 months? why the fuck are you so obsessed with the term “girlfriend material”??? what the actual FUCK does that EVEN mean?? get away from me. bc this isn’t love. it’s something else, that i can’t put my finger on.

compare this to clear braces boy from catholic school, who literally took almost 3 years to ask me out; and to even ask for my number. when he’d finally asked for my number right before one set of the winter holidays at the end of term 2/before the start of term 3 in 2010, i was so oblivious as to why he wanted my number…. when he’d never wanted it/asked for it before.

so when he called me, while i was still on the bus home from school, i was panicking like “OH FUCK THATS WHY HE WANTED MY NUMBER!!! HE WANTS TO ASK ME OUT!!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!! WHY THE FUCK AM I SO SLOW AND FUCKING DUMB???!!!” he never pressured me to meet his parents (although at 14/15 it was very obvious that that was a standard practice since we couldn’t drive ourselves anywhere lmao). we were basically on equal footing, except for my slowness with cottoning onto him asking me out and why he asked for my number lol.

CBB had never pressured and harassed me about my virginity. he had NEVER harassed me with porn, most especially while at school, unlike mr creeper who LOVED pulling out his porn filled phone and school laptop to show me his overly violent, degrading and aggressive porn. CBB’s flirting method was showing me norwegian black metal bands (or normal metal bands like parkway drive) and making me watch repeats of family guy on his ipod at lunch bc he loved family guy. he never brought up the term “girlfriend material” ever. he treated me like an actual person. and not his own personal fuck doll, that had holes that were conveniently for sticking his useless and clueless ass teenage dick in, again unlike creeper who was hellbent on wanting to act out his favourite violent etc porn on me to let him “take your virginity in a wonderful weekend of sex down the coast and you have to do all things that I LIKE BC THAT’S THAT AND I SAID SO!!!” 🤮🤮. although if i had progressed further than those few weeks with cbb, and my constant *karen from mean girls voice* *fake cough, fake cough* i’m sick *regina george voice* boo, you whore!” act every time i didn’t turn up on date that he’d asked me on…. maybe he could’ve treated me like that. but i’ll never know lol.

so cbb was unlike mr stalker; who was obsessed with my supposed “girlfriend material” status. mr stalker was obsessed with the fact that i had the ability and audacity to basically tell him “no”, by coyly letting him down with “my dad says i can’t date bc it distracts me from school and getting good marks 🙄😑” (which probably wasn’t true, looking back lmao)….. where he then whined PUBLICLY on facebook about it, with a status like “today sucks”… and then naming and shaming me in the comments when someone asked in the post comments what was wrong like: “*insert my name here* said no! she’s being a bitch!”. that at the time, made me roll my eyes and still does today when i think about it. because bro. i had literally only known you for two fucking days at that point. of course i’m going to say no. what the hell??? two days is nowhere near enough time to know a person well enough (although the conversation we had together on misguided trip to his house one day while we were wagging (skipping class/playing hooky for americans) aboriginal studies told me MORE THAN ENOUGH about his piece of shitness tbh) to “date” them imo.

because to me, the title “girlfriend material” doesn’t mean any fucking thing. but when it comes from a creep like mr stalker; it means “you’ll be my girlfriend forever and have my kids bc you’re such a nice girl and you’ll fix me bc that’s what nice girls like you do; bc you’re SO LOYAL AND NICE!” which i also saw as a MASSIVE RED FLAG back then, because we were literally 16yo kids (he literally told me this when we were on his bed in his bedroom in the aforementioned misguided trip to his house). and i also saw it as a red flag bc…. just because i’m “loyal” and “nice” doesn’t mean that i’ll spend LITERAL Y E A R S trying to “fix you” while you fuck around and never bother to change your behaviour all bc you think it’s “girly” to do just that. it definitely DOES NOT MEAN that i’ll have KIDS with you, what the actual fuck. like i’m a hopeless romantic, to an extent, mr creeper. but not to the extent where i’ll give myself up to someone like you, all because i’m “nice and caring” and it’s apparently what “nice girls do!!!” or whatever else fucked up guilt trip views you’ve got on why girls/women supposedly have to waste their time with and on you.

and also, on another front. CBB never FOLLOWED me home (considering he lived in a suburb 20mins away from mine lmao and we both lived at least 15mins away from the catholic school we attended) despite me telling him REPEATEDLY to “fuck off and walk home your way”….. whereas unfortunately, mr creeper lived just over the other side of my suburb.

so one day mr creeper decided to stalk me home (despite me saying the above “fuck off and walk home your way” comment constantly to him in the 10min walk home). and then when we got to my street and in front of my house he decided to joke that “oh now i know where your house and bedroom are, i’ll come to hide under your bed naked one day!!!! and when you get home (bc i’ll obvs do it when you’re out doing something), you’ll just have to FUCK ME because you’ll be so surprised that im there and ready to fuck you!” as if i’d be so overcome with supposed lust & love for him, after knowing that he’d broken into my room against my will and messed with my shit….. all for some cutesy love prank…. like in, idk, love actually (???) or himym (specifically the “naked man!” episode from season 4) or some other shitty romcom. bc no. you’re overstepping SO MANY fucking boundaries that i’d literally call the police on your stupid fucking stalker ass. what the actual fuck.

finally, cbb never forced me to try to kiss him, unlike mr stalker…. who whenever he got the chance, he’d grab my head and force me to kiss him…. and then gave me back the utterly disgusting & controlling GALL to tell me that i was “kissing wrong” and whinge/bitch that i “wasn’t into it”. and then he’d force me to kiss him again with a “im so sorry does this fix it 🥰🥺???” like NO???!!! forcefully kissing me DOES NOT FUCKING FIX ANYTHING YOU STUPID CUNT! please just get the FUCK away from me. like if you force me into anything, of course i’m not going to enthusiastically enjoy it??? and moreover, don’t you think it’s YOU who is “kissing wrong” (whatever the FUCK that bullshit actually means) and not me???? why do you think GRABBING MY HEAD and FORCING me to kiss you is appropriate in ANY of these situations????

just. to end this. to anyone and everyone, regardless of their gender/sexuality/age etc. NEVER trust anyone who uses the term “girlfriend material”/“boyfriend material”, to describe you, most especially when you’ve JUST MET them.

they’re using it as a means to control you and possibly trap you into an unhealthy (or potentially abusive) relationship like i would’ve had with my stalker/creeper. but most especially, this goes out to my younger followers, if i have any. be aware of this. watch out for the small red flags and run at the earliest time.

Random She-Ra Season 5 Thoughts: THE FINAL RAMBLING

Yep. I finally got all my crazy absurd thoughts about this gay adventure-romance-drama cartoon summarized into one incoherent yet fun to read computer document/article! ...four months after the show itself ended. Oh well, no one’s perfect. Anyways, there are a whole lot more insane observations than ever before, so I had to put it below a link so this thing didn’t back up my blog or any of yours. Hope you enjoy reading through these as much I enjoyed spouting them for no discernible reason other than I felt like it!

-I feel that since is the last season, I ought to talk about an important part of the show that I’ve been putting off: the animation. It’s… okay. It’s definitely smoother than what the original 80’s show and it’s brother series (heheh) looked like, but at the same time it still seems to suffer from similar limitations which causes some distracting moments of stiffness. But other than that, it’s pretty good. It’s no Titmouse or Studio Mir but it looks good and it gets the job done.

         -After all, let’s not forget: “Imperfection is beautiful!”

-Even when things are at their lowest, Adora is a jock with a heart of gold.

-Horde Prime and the Galactic Horde’s aesthetic feels like a mixture of Catholicism, Scientology, Heaven’s Gate, and modern Microsoft, and honestly, that just makes him creepier.

-Speaking of Horde Prime, he didn’t waste any time with destroying Bright Moon. …apparently.

-Furthermore, on the topic of his giant holographic messages, WAS THAT A FREAKING MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE MOVIE REFERENCE?!

-Boy, Glimmer and Catra sure got along quickly! It’s almost like they magically understand each other because they both assumed leadership roles and screwed up big time! …I guess.

         -Either that or this season is going to be a speedrun.

-Wow, the Rebellion sure got used to having a once-thought-dead king as well as a known enemy general/abuser running around their camp awful fast, didn’t they?

-Mara’s got a spaceship, a cyber girlfriend, a magic grandma, a dragon, a tragic backstory, AND a force ghost?! Dang, even in death, the girl’s got it all. No wonder everyone likes her!

-(*me looking at the TV rating at the start of episode*) “Why is language in there? Is there surprise cuss words or something in this season?” (*sees Horde Prime seize control of a clone for the first time*) “HOLY FREAKING SH—oh that’s why.”

-Applause to the crew for making the “dinner with Prime” scene for making a meal between a sparkly princess, a catgirl, and alien cult leader feel even more uncomfortable than it had a right to.

-(*me throughout the season whenever a clone was onscreen*) Is that Hordak? Is that him? Is that him? Is that him right there? Oh it is—oh no wait. … Is that h—

-Extra applause for having Glimmer learn from her grey-area wetwipe phase and refusing to sell out her friends again whilst telling the imperialist cult leader where to stick it.

-I would pay a sizeable portion of my life savings to hear what a Scorpia and Swift Wind duet would sound like.

         -In fact, I’d double it if it was just Scorpia singing.

         -Ah what the heck. I would triple it for an entire She-Ra musical!

-As happy as I am to see to see Entrapta interacting with the other princesses again, I have to say that their big reunion left me with some mixed feelings. Here’s a quick rundown:

         -Entrapta, a grown autistic woman, being led around on a leash by non-neurodivergent teenagers—again: that’s bad.

         -The Princesses confronting Entrapta about joining the Horde: that’s good!

         -The Princesses blaming all their problems with the Horde bots on Entrapta’s actions and her hyper fixations alone: that’s bad.

         -Entrapta explaining herself, admitting that she regrets her mistakes, and getting the Princesses to understand that she thinks and communicates differently, but in spite of that, she really does want help find Glimmer: that’s good!

         -Entrapta never gets to call out the Princesses for how poorly they treated her: that’s bad.

         -Entrapta saves the day and goes to space: that’s good!

         -Scorpia and Entrapta still haven’t interacted even though the former is with the Rebellion in the first place because she went to look for her because she is her best friend: …can I go home now?

-How nice! Michah finally got to shapeshift!

         -And he’s rocking that She-Ra outfit to boot!

-So is Darla a back up of Light Hope or do they just run on the same operating system and have the same voice?

-I could watch an entire season of Adora, Bow, and Entrapta going on space adventure in a rundown ship with their custom-made spacesuits, tbh.

-Is anyone else weirded out that Catra’s younger self looked at her in her flashback(?).

         -Actually what WAS happening there, anyhow?

-(*watching Bow’s spacewalk to save Glimmer*) “Is that a Gravity reference?” asked the man who never saw Gravity.

-Speaking of spacewalks, how did Glimmer survive those precious few seconds in space? Does the teleporter teleport a breathable atmosphere too?

         -Also, Catra, WHY did you think it would be a good idea to teleport Glimmer into space? I know you had a plan and the ship was right there but… Ah, never mind.

-Not that I’m complaining but Glimmer’s apology to the rest of the friend squad for her HORRIBLE plan last season went… surprisingly quickly.

-You know as cool as The Star Siblings are, being a quirky band of space-travelling siblings with cool powers and some trans rep to boot, I only have one small problem with them: weren’t there already Star Sisters on Etheria back in season 1?

         -That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about Masters of the Universe characters to dispute it.

-Entrapta confirmed pan, objectum, AND horny on main. Dang girl, you’re gonna have fun whether you got Hordak back or not…

-“The Velvet Glove” is both a menacing and stupid name for a decadent overlord’s mothership.

         -Wait, it’s from the 80’s canon? Oh. That kind of explains it, actually.

-Goshdangit, I wanted Catra to face punishment for her crimes, but I didn’t think that would involve going to evil alien conversion therapy!

         -Nor did I want her to die! For a second. Actually, since it obviously wasn’t going to last I was… weirdly okay with that part???

-Horde Prime seems awfully okay with Catradora. I mean he’s still super creepy and manipulative about it, but also oddly progressive for an evil brainwashing cult leader.

-(*Adora transforms into a She-Ra through seer will*) First of all, called it. Second of all, WOAH MAMA now that’s a glow up!

-Wrong Hordak did not have to be a thing, and yet, I’m glad that he is.

-Hordak remembers the LUVD crystal and Entrapta… Hordak remembers Entrap—! It’s happening! Oh my gosh, it’s happening! Everybody stay calm!

-Wow, Entrapta didn’t have to be so forgiving of Catra for everything she’s done to her but she did. Only I’m not sure if that was Entrapta taking the high road or the low road.

         -Or which road the crew took for that matter.

-I remember when I thought those “Chipped AUs” floating around here on tumblr were just something the fans came up with and that chipping people was not an actual despicable thing Prime does in canon. I miss those days.

-I know it’s not the same as before or the original design, but True She-Ra’s designs and powers? I think they slappin’.

-Hooray, Adora and Catra are finally making up! And it only took four and half seasons worth of communication failures, toxic villainous behaviour, and physical violence for Catra to snap out of it!

         -…We can go back to Entrapdak now, right?

-Poor Elberon. First they unknowingly adopt a double agent then get invaded by the Horde and now they’re getting brainwashed and chipped by the Galactic Horde. They might be a cute village, but they got some pretty lousy security.

-You know it’s cute that Micah is doing his best to be friends with Frosta and get back in touch with his dad-side, but look I can’t be the only one worried about how the local King is a less proactive leader than the princesses or the known war criminal/abuser, right?

-“The Perils of Peekablue” or as I like to call it, “You Thought ‘Boys Night Out’ Caught You Emotionally Off-guard? Hah! Watch This.”

-You know I didn’t think Scorpfuma would be a thing aside that one moment of flirting near the end of season 4, but they really pushed for it to be a thing! This is… actually pretty great! Perfuma’s not perfect, and I would have appreciated giving them a little more time to bond and form some real chemistry, but at least she reciprocates Scorpia’s sweetness instead of rebuffing it in increasingly aggressive fashion.

-I’m not sure what’s more concerning: that Mermista set a boat on fire, that it’s worded like she had a fling as part of some experimental phase, or that Sea Hawk is turned on by this.

-Peekablue might not be real, (I think?) but he is one dapper dude! Female-to-male redesigns could learn a thing or two from him.

-It involved them getting stung and seizuring, but that was a heck of a way to reintroduce Double Trouble! I swear I got watching them cycle through their transformations in some sort of physical reaction.

         -Or maybe that was just me worrying about their wellbeing…

-Okay, I get the Chips are huge, and actually rather clever threat, but how do these characters get chipped in the first place? I get there are chipped people who spread the chips throught the population but where do they get those from???

         -Do one of those Horde Prime drones just sneak behind someone, slap a chip on their nape then hand them a whole bagfull and say, “Beep boop beep, Horde Prime’s Light, blah blah blah. Alright have fun, kiddo”?

         -Or is it some sort of Alien: Covenant deal where they’re just floating around and Lord help you if one sticks to you?

-HOLY CRAP THEY ACTUALLY GOT SCORPIA TO SING! AND SHE WAS GREAT!

         -Oh shoot. Guess I owe the crew twice my life savings now…

-Entrapdak might be what got me into this show, but it’s Double Trouble that kept me around, so you can imagine how happy I was to see them make their grand reappearance!

-Conversly, you can imagine my disappointment when they just disappeared until the finale.

         -And on that note: HOW DID YOU GUYS LOSE DOUBLE TROUBLE?!

                  -You forgot to cherish them, didn’t you?

-So, Scorpia sacrifices herself just after finding a new girlfriend and gaining some newfound confidence, Mermista and Sea Hawk are split up,and Double Trouble didn’t join the main cast. Why can’t you just have fun like a normal cartoon, show?

-Gosh, I love me some shifting title cards!

-Is it just me or did they sneak in some more Annihilation references on Krytis?

         (-Said the guy who was too chicken to watch the movie and just read about it and watched a few clips online.)

-(*audibly sighs*) FINE. I guess I like Catradora now. Are you happy now, SPOP Crew? ARE YOU?!

-Hooray, Catra’s got a emotional support animal! And they’re a shapeshifting magic alien cat. Those are the best kind!

-Is it weird that I knew that weird glowing stuff on Krytis was just magic all along, or was it just not hidden very well. Anyways, I like Krytis. I like that we got to see a truly alien world with its own form of magic.

-Plus, we got a logical advancement of the magic versus science subtheme with magic being Horde Prime’s weakness! Neato!

-Getting back on the “which is worse?” wagon for a second, I don’t know what feels less right: that Wrong Hordak’s big revelation and his resolution to free himself and his brothers and friends from Horde Prime’s control is played humorously, or that Real Hordak should be the one having this moment.

-That bit with Castaspella and Shadow Weaver where she tells Casta about Etheria being a living thing with inherent magical property, or whatever, while we got a peaceful shot of some boar creatures sleeping was actually kind of nice. It would have been nicer though if it wasn’t part of a power hungry abuser’s obvious scheme. If only there was a kindly old witch lady character who was in touch with nature and knew just what to say when someone was feeling downOH WAIT.

-Furthermore… Why did Shadow Weaver and Castaspella need to have romantic tension?

-Seriously though, where’s our Madame Razz quota this season? Where’s my supportive magic grandma timelord at, yo?

-Yup, they speedran this season.

-I’m actually really disappointed we didn’t see more of an intergalactic new rebellion rising up to fight Horde Prime’s forces across the universe. Especially if it meant we got to see more Star Sibling action!

-Again, I adore Wrong Hordak but I keep wondering what was keeping the crew from just bringing in Original Flavour Hordak. (You know, aside from teasing us Entrapdak fans and trying to distract us with a loveable new character in the meantime.) I mean he could have done the whole infiltrating the clone squads and tricking them bit, too.

         -Heck, he could have done the wink, too!

-I’d gleefully point out Loo-Kee’s cameo this season but apparently, they already made some several seasons ago. That’s what I get for not rewatching the 80’s show and training my eyes first.

-(*sees Erelandians*) Are those freaking Toads and Toadettes?

-So, what’s keeping them from just hitting Spinerella’s chip again? Besides emotional baggage and gale force winds, I mean.

-Perfuma coming out of a cave scared out of her wits, demanding to know who’s there, clinging to her friends as soon as they come back, and balling her eyes out is a big, BIG mood.

-Frosta absolutely decking Catra in the face was nestled somewhere between cathartic and excessive.

         -Netossa spraying her with a bottle of water on the other hand…

-Oh, so Greyskull was the name of a Rebel Squad! I think. Meh, the important thing is we got an explanation and it still sounds cool.

-Leave it to a couple of dads to make a secret message out of a dad joke.

-You know I made fun of Light Hope for being creepy, but I swear that avatar from the Spire is even creepier. I don’t know if it’s her face—those dang blank eyes, man—or just that it she’s less animated than the real thing, but it just felt… off.

-Aww, Noelle made Netossa’s princess weakness illustrations! So cute!

-Forget episodes that deserves Emmys, Keston John deserves one for voicing Hordak, Horde Prime, all the clones, and several minor villains and giving each and every single one a distinct voice! Where my king’s respect, eh?

-Yes, Catra you had a small disagreement with Hordak. …Over sending his girlfriend and your “friend” to DIE IN A LITERAL LIVING HELL.

         -Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system.

-Why does Perfuma get pressured to get angry and go wild when Entrapta’s the one who’s had it the worst out of all them? Why can’t my gamer girl go berserk, dammit!?

-Okay, but really, how do these fricking chips work??? Are they parasite devices who store Horde Prime’s Baptizing Dew then slowly pump it into their host’s bodies? Do they have their own nervous systems? Are they technorganic? Also, how and why do we need to make these chips are bigger threat then they need to be?

-Horde Prime showing up on Hordak’s throne in grand Killing Joke style and casually throwing shades at his brother’s overblown attempts to impress him is pretty awesome, but it feels strangely underdeveloped. Hordak’s not there to have his hard work insulted and we never got to see Adora have any similar encounter with Hordak here before, so unless you look at it from the perspective of someone who has been here before in the Horde story like Catra it lacks the dramatic weight it should have had.

-Scorpia resisting the chip to save her new friends was pretty great, though.

-I swear, when they got to the scene where Adora and the others figured out that Shadow Weaver was grooming her so she could use her to get to the Heart of Etheria, I was mouthing “You B***H” through the whole thing.

-They really brought back Etherian deep magic just so they had something to make Micah threatening. …okay.

-Okay, the rest of “Failsafe” messed me up, so here’s a rundown on all the other messy thoughts I had while the show ripped my heart and ground it to dog food:

         -Entrapta and Hordak reuniting: Yay!

         -Swift Wind yanking her away before she can get through to him: Boo.

         -Catra encouraging Adora to try and take care of herself for a change: Yay!

         -Adora hurts Catra and she runs away: Boo.

         -Adora finally calling out Shadow Weaver on what an utterly horrible person she is: Yay!

         -Adora resolves to risk sacrificing herself to save the world: Bo—okay, seriously, was all this suffering really necessary, show?

-I know I mentioned in my previous She-Ra random thoughts that I supported Glimmadora, but I am okay with Catradora and Glimbow ending up canon. The only problem I have is how rushed they feel—moreso with Glimbow. With Catradora, the crew had an entire season to make it work again and they took it. Glimbow it feels like they were down to the last few episodes and went, “Oh right, we were gonna do something with these two!” then did their darndest to fit in some chemistry in between all the other stuff going down.

-As ominous as it was, the music where Horde Prime starts hacking Etheria honestly SLAPS.

-Okay, I know everyone is magic or something, but I am legit surprised getting electrocuted in water didn’t kill the heroes right then and there.

-Sea Hawk tries to flirt with his girl even as she’s trying to kill him. Truly, he is a man of taste.

-What do you know, Shadow Weaver can only do good when she’s (canonically!) punch drunk.

-You know a whole lot of this could have been avoided if Holo-Mara was Adora’s mentor instead of Light Hope.

-When I think about it, it was actually really clever to make Horde Prime the final villain for Adora to face: a domineering decadent man who’s been in power forever against a humble emotionally vulnerable compassionate young woman.

         -Not to mention the divide between cult-like oppression and progressive freedom. Or something.

-Holy crap, did the First Ones get a great freaking a Great Old One for a guard dog?!

-So, you guys seriously didn’t bring Angella back to reunite with her family OR mention her all season after the impact her death had on everyone all last season until Glimmer needs a power-up at the last possible minute and then you never bring her up again. That is absolutely a dick move in bird culture.

-Entrapta’s hacker sticker gives me life. Gamer girl gremlin princess forever!

-On the one hand, I’m disappointed that Adora and Catra don’t get to have an awesome couple battle against the security monster and win. On the other hand, Shadow Weaver is finally dead. YAY!

         -With apologies to the writers and especially Lorraine Toussaint. She did splendidly bringing this character to life and even if I hated Shadow Weaver, I adored the effort she put into making her one of the most emotionally complex villains I’ve ever seen.

-Words cannot, will not, and will never describe the pure joy that I experienced when I first saw Hordak’s big scene: standing up to and disowning his tyrant brother, saving Entrapta, declaring his love to her (albeit in a nicely lowkey fashion), and then throwing Horde Prime to his apparent doom Disney style with Entrapta cheering him with sheer glee. GOSH, it was everything I could have hoped for from this season!

         -Now if only they kept the deleted scene where they got a moment to themselves before Prime body-jacked him again like the creepy sonuvabich he is.

-Horde Prime just wouldn’t be a religious villain if he didn’t tell everyone to burn.

         -Bonus points for actually trying to burn the frigging planet.

-Aside from the idea of Adora switching to wearing a She-Ra themed dress everywhere in the future, the future vision was really quite sweet, and seeing Prime step in to ruin it made it all the more impactful.

-Can I just say that it’s absolutely wonderful that the show, for all it’s flaws, said  “**** senseless heroic sacrifices”?

-BREAKING: Lesbian cat finally makes up with her jock ex, has a canon kiss so pure it saves the world!

         -In other news, Catradora fans are still spoiled rotten.

-Wow, look at all those character comebacks they skipped through! Look, there’s the chefs from Dryl, Double Trouble, Huntara, the Horde Trio, Imp, Madame Razz—are you kidding me?!

-Grumbling aside, I actually find the idea of the Horde Trio and Imp getting involved in a G-rated science-fantasy version of the first Hangover movie quite amusing.

-Oh dang, they pulled a Castle in the Sky with the Velvet Glove!

-As nice as it was to see Aodra save Hordak from Horde Prime and destroy the latter through exorcism via sheer compassion, I’m rather disappointed we never got to see She-Ra go full Metal Gear Solid Rising: Revengence on any creepy old cult leaders.

         -Yeah, it would have gone against the “love conquers all” set up, but love takes on many forms, does it not? So, why can it not manifest as cleaving your mortal enemies with extreme prejudice to save your loved ones?

-Furthermore, in addition to Holo-Mara being a better mentor, Hordak raising Adora instead Shadow Weaver could have prevented a lot of similar problems. Maybe. Possibly.

         -Eh whatever, he has a lifetime’s worth of fanfiction to make up for it.

-ENTRAPDAK IS CANON, ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD.

-And so is Catradora and Glimbow! That’s nice, too.

-Aww, how sweet of them to skip through Catra and Scorpia, and Glimmer and Micah’s big reunions! It’s not like we’ve been waiting forever for this stuff or anything. HahahahAHAHAHDHAHAHFHAFHKSADJHFKAJHDfine.

-And so it all ends with everyone either friends, in love, or both, as heroes decide to make up for it all with a grandiose sequel promising more exciting space adventures we probably won’t see! HOORAY!

-All snarky ranting aside, I actually really enjoyed the finale. It was exciting, heartwarming, and above all it ended on happy, hopeful note without leaving too many frustrating questions unanswered. (*glares with utmost contempt at Voltron and Star vs. The Forces of Evil*)

-You know, this wasn’t bad for a final season, but I think this might have worked better as two seasons. Not in Netflix’s cheap “split a regular 13-episode season in two 6-7 episode long seasons” strategy, but I mean two full seasons with their own storylines leading up to the grand finale:

         -First, one that starts out with Horde Prime’s arrival the downfall of Etheria, focuses on the space adventures, ends with their return to Etheria and gives the characters time to recuperate from season 4.

         -Then, we have one final season that focuses on the Best Friend Squad’s Return to Etheria, Horde Prime’s plan, gives everyone more time to properly reconcile before ¾ of the entire cast gets chipped, sets up a new Rebellion made up of Princess Alliance and former Etherian Horde members, maybe even set up a proper Hordak redemption arc or something, and then our big happy ending.

-On a mostly unrelated note, I also feel that the whole show could have turned out even better if it had been either a dedicated science-fantasy war drama with some levity (like the good Star Wars shows or Avatar: The Last Airbender) or a lighthearted yet empowering slice-of-life action-adventure romcom (i.e. basically a well-made remake of the original show in the style of Adventure Time and Parks and Rec or something).

-My final random thought for this whole thing: we really could have used a triumphant end credits song or something. Aside from obviously recommending Fabulous Secret Powers, I would have also recommended the original 4 Non Blondes “What’s Going On,” a reprise of “Warriors,” Gorillaz’s “We Got the Power,” or (my favourite) Talking Head’s “(Nothing But) Flowers” since the ending scenes remind me of it.

Thanks again to the crew for giving me something to live for and/or complain about!

Now, let’s hope the He-Man reboots do as well...

needs,,, validation,,,

he’ll tell you out loud that he has no favourite aunts or uncles, but he secretly really likes spending time with his Uncle Ron

they had a talk, once, in like the middle of the night at a sleepover with Rosie and Al, about feeling insecure in comparison to others, and learning to be proud of yourself for your achievements

there were a few tears, but it was nice

Ron was actually the third person he told, besides his dad and Rosie, about having a crush on Al

openly a disaster romantic. trash taste in romance novels.

always welcome in the Potter-Weasley households

[shhhlikeme]

hi babes ! i hope you’ve had a good day~ your bio said you’re accepting matchup so could i please get a haikyuu one? my names lily, i’m 6’0 (tall girls rise !) i’m south sudanese but i was born and raised in australia, i have fairly dark skin and dark brown eyes, my hair is either in its natural state or box braids i love volleyball and baking. my friends say i tend to trust people to much. it’s fine if you can’t write this, have a good day/night 💕

A/N: SIS YOU’RE SUDANESE-AUSTRALIAN?!?! SO YOUR SKIN MUST BE BEAUUUUUTIFULLLLLLLLLL AND YOUR ACCENT MUST BE AMAZING. PLUS YOU’RE THE HEIGHT OF OUR ANCESTRAL AMAZONIAN QUEENS?! Nice to meet you Gods Favourite, what’s up?

B I wish you gave me a tiny bit more information about your personality ☹️ Nonetheless I believe my choice would be the same:

————————————. ISSA MATCHUP WITH:

KAGEYAMA TOBIO

I’ve said this HUNDREDS OF TIMES:

Kageyama Tobio is a SIMP for tall girls

I’ve also said that he is a simp for PRETTY GIRLS

And I’ve said he is a simp for VOLLEYBALL GIRLS

Soooo....... check! Check! and motherf*cking CHECK!

☑️☑️☑️

When he meets you for the first time at the mall when he’s shopping with his sister....

he just stares

Like legit it looks like he’s angry and grilling you like you killed his pet when really he just wants to know what your name is and how soon you can you marry him.

bruh

Kags’ older sister has to throw a pair of leggings she was going to try on over his head so he would stop staring

But then.....

You turned your back to him and Kageyama saw that you were wearing your volleyball team athletic sweater. MAN OH MAN OH MAN—

He didn’t even care about the position you played he was like CHECK☑️

Blue eyed baby is tripping over himself to ask you out

He awkwardly yells it across the store tbh. Because in his mind his feet actually moved before he spoke but in actuality they didn’t 🙃

You were SO his type and he malfunctioned because of it

He really kind of frightened you.... and you were blushing like crazy ....

why was this man yelling and staring at you wtf .... should you call the cops?

Luckily Kageyama’s big sis just walked over to you: apologized for his awkward behaviour and in her chill manner.... & she explained that he just wants to date you

Still blushing like crazy you told his sister yes because he’s cute, gave your number to her and then you rushed out of the store

Kageyama texted you later that night after pacing around his room for hours trying to find out something to say that would make you think he was fit to be your pursuer

You were about to go to sleep when you received the text Kageyama used all his brain power to come up with:

Hello: You gave your number to my sister....... for me. I’m Kageyama Tobio, and I think you’re stunning.

LMAOOOOOOOOO this awks Baby boy

You laughed, and being the trusting person you are you introduced yourself in a paragraph listing things you liked and telling him you thought he was cute too

This put a smile on Kags’ face knowing that you didn’t think he was creepy and he was able to be chill for the rest of your text conversation

When you agree to a date; Kags wants to do it right

He goes INSIDE your house so he can formally introduce himself to your parents and family

You try to get him not to because AWKS wtf but he insists ...

anyway—

Your family LOOOOOOOOOVES HIM.

Like what ?! He’s so respectful and they can tell he has good intentions for their daughter. They also know him as a big volleyball star who is never on dates or seeing multiple women. A one woman kind of guy.

Sometimes your fam asks when he will be coming around again because they enjoy him so much

It shocks you but anyone that can win over your parents is good in your book

Mans got major brownie points!!!

Your relationship is very sweet and classy

You two spend a lot of time volleyball training together and you two are the cutest volleyball couple

Yall are even are asked to do a romantic sports photoshoot together and y’all get on the front page of that vball magazine 📸 (p.s; Kags is 6’2 in timeskip, just sayin)

Kags always demonstrates how serious he is about you and tells you how utterly stunning you are daily.

When you get into his car with a new your natural hair style or newly done braids he is stuttering over his words to compliment you:

“L-l-Lily faced yes, hair beauty.”

like ?????????

You understand what he meant to say though.

Can I tell you the story of how y’all said you I Love You for the first time ⁉️⁉️⁉️

It’s cute AF

So,

On Kageyama’s birthday he actually asked if he could gift YOU with something.

You were at his house and he shyly asked if you’d wear this stunning silver volleyball necklace with his name on it that he bought.

He wanted people to know you were his:

When you said yes and he put it on you, he also had something to show you

Blushing, this blue eyed baby surprised you again by showing you that he also wore the matching gold necklace with your name on it.

He admitted that he had it for a month and thought it was embarrassing so he just never showed you

That’s why he got you one with his name for his birthday because maybe you’d like it as much as he did

How did it happen, you ask?? Kags was at the mall with his sister at the Engraved Jewelry store and......he......liked........the......men’s volleyball themed necklace.

When the worker asked what name he’d like on it he was taken back cause he didn’t know he needed one???? But again he spoke before he thought—and said your name.

He’d never admit it out loud but he wanted your name close to his heart

He was embarrassed for liking you so much already

So he’d always hide that necklace from you or anyone but he’d hold it in his hand before every game for good luck

Now, on his birthday, he gifted you with one of your own

He was blushing like crazy when he showed it to you hidden under his shirt.

😳😳🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

Then he told you he was in love with you.

This boy that seems the least romantic person in the world did this???????

Yep! For you!

Damn 🥺

Ofc you said it back and hugged him!

His romantic side was strong.... but you promised your baby that it would remain your little secret ❤️

get to know the simmer: s2 edition! 

I was tagged by @episims​. Yes. Yes I was. 

Your name: Noora. 

Languages you speak: Finnish, English. And some Japanese. Like I can understand and speak and write simple sentences and could probably hold a simple conversation.

Are you a mermaid?: I’ve loved mermaids ever since I was a kid. Like, no lie, I’ve always wanted to be one. I’m planning on having the 1975 Reader’s Digest version of the little mermaid tattooed at some point, it’s the one mermaid movie I have always loved. (Surprisingly, I have never been too into the Disney one. I love Part of Your World but that’s about it.) My first long story plans were mermaid stories.

Your play style: The best hoods and families I’ve had have always started in a spur of a moment. And I keep changing everything all the time, deleting lots and switching from subhood to subhood, but my sims stay! I grow ridiculously attached to my babies and play them with love. I love all the general gameplay aspects of the game: building and decorating and the gameplay itself. All of it. I play in weekly cycles. ALSO for someone who claims to love the game I play extremely rarely. But when I do, I play for several days straight. 

Your Simself picture: It’s my user pic and the mobile header but here’s one from that shoot:

Stories or gameplay, builds, look books, edits or CC: Gameplay, builds, edits, I guess. 

Your favorite age state: Adults.

Your favorite season: In sims, spring and summer. In real life, fall and summer. 

Your favorite holiday: It’s a cliché, but out of all the holidays I do like christmas. The christmas eve is one of my favorite days in a year. 

How was your day?: Very good, actually! I woke up around 8 am after sleeping a little badly, but then I started the day by baking bread buns and continued on to do some school stuff that have been waiting for me to do them (university has been kinda overwhelming lately). In the evening we made pizza, I played some Fallout 4 and now I’m here. A good day, all in all! 

Your favorite career: I love so many! Criminal, definitely. Also Military and Law Enforcement. And Adventure!! And Paranormal. I can’t choose one. 

Your favorite aspiration: Knowledge and family. 

Your favorite EP, GP and SP: I think my favorite expansion is Nightlife. It was the first expansion I got. Out of stuff packs I’m gonna say the glamour one. The stuff packs aren’t anything special imo, though. 

How old is your simblr?: Oh, wow. I’ve made my first post in October 2015. It’s my 5 year anniversary this year! 

Have you WooHooed?: Sure.

Your favorite skill: To be honest, I like all of them equally. But I’m gonna say.... Fitness (Body?).

The size of your mods folder: 8,57 G! I was expecting it to be bigger!

Your 3 favorite mods: Most mods I have are fixes and stuff that remove annoying behaviour. Visitor Controller is new to me but it’s a life saver! Also I’ve really liked how the Romance mod is working in my game, but I have also been thinking about getting ACR. Other than that it’s hard to say. 

Your interests (other than Sims): Writing, drawing, video games. 

Your favorite Sim (picture if possible): GUESS WHO!

IT’S GRETA ♥

(Crowd pretends to be surprised)

But to be honest, I kinda wish to gain a new favorite sim some time soon, since Greta has now passed on from my game! Rayna Limestone is very close to being my favorite, and I have high hopes for Ruby Limestone once she grows up!

Which Sims games have you played (including mobile games)?: Games 1-4 on PC, however I gotta add I only used to play TS3 on my sister’s computer (even though I do own it and multiple expansions), and I never really got into TS4 (I only play it to recreate Greta for the millionth time lol). I LOVE the PS2 version of TS2 as well as The Urbz! I have the PSP version of TS2 as well, but I haven’t played it much. I’ve tried all the mobile games but tbh I hate them. Oh, and I bought Life Stories but I haven’t played it yet. 

Propose a crazy scheme: OMG I’m going to second epi’s idea: let’s break into the EA headquarters and steal TS2 source code. Just imagine what people could do with it. 

Best part of simblr: My experience has only been good, and I like the uplifting mood of the community. 

Worst part of simblr: To be honest, it’s the fact that Tumblr is not the ideal way to follow a lot of blogs, and I think it sucks that I don’t see all the content I want since I follow so many blogs. 

What other games you play?: Far Cry 5 has been my major obsession lately, but to name a few all time favorites: Saints Row 1-2, The Long Dark, Mass Effect, The Batman Arkham games, Dishonored, Skyrim. Lately I’ve been playing Fallout 4 and I’m still new to Bioshock (Infinite) and The Outer Worlds. I think there’s a theme here......... I like 1st/3rd person action/role playing games. To be honest I’m kinda picky with my games. It’s either love a game with all my heart or forget about it after first play. 

Other websites or accounts (Origin, Twitter, etc.): I guess only one worth mentioning is my Dreamwidth and I don’t even use it, lol. Whenever I get those simstories up and running they will be posted on Dreamwidth though! Also check out my personal blog @notsometownie​.

Are you single?: You know, I have never been an adult and single at the same time. And I’m 28. (Means me and gf have 10 year anniversary this year.)

Okay since I wasn’t really tagged to this, I’m not gonna tag anyone. But if you want me to tag you then just let me know and I will!

[pendulum-sonata]

You know that ultimate ship meme you did a while back, could you do one for either yoko/yusho or leo/himika. Which ever ýou think would be more interesting.

I think they’re both interesting, so I’ll do both (boy this post is gonna be long :P) 

(sorry for taking long to answer) 

Instituteshipping (Leo/Himika) 

General:

Rate the Ship -  Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - They’re canonically separated, but if we work in more normal AU setting I still think they’d eventually separate after years of slowly distancing from each other, harsh I know, but I feel they’re not too emotionally invested in their relationship as much as their personal goals, ironically they would still work together, because they’re THAT pragmatic too (also Tima and I like to think they ocasionally still get laid, to the horror of their children :’D)

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - I feel like they fall in love pretty quickly, BUT because of the type of person they are, they take long to act on it until they’re 100% certain of it,

How was their first kiss? - Um… I feel like it would be awkward at first, but then firm and confident, I don’t think it was passionate until later.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - I kinda wanna say Leo, but I think it would be Himika the one who brought it up first, because she’s that type of person,

Who is the best man/men? - Yusho, literally Leo’s only friend :P

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - I like to think Yoko offered herself to be one, but I like Mandy’s take that Himika has a sister, so she was there too

Who did the most planning? - Himika is always the planner of the relationship, that it’s well established,

Who stressed the most? - Probably both, since they’re the type of going through the worst case scenarios in their heads.

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big. It’s my hc that they were married before the Leo Corp got to be really big, so I’m guessing they didn’t have lots of money for a big and fancy ceremony, in fact my guess is that Himika’s family covered most of the expenses.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - I can’t think of anyone tbh

Sex:

Who is on top? - i think they’re the type to switch depending on the mood, but Himika ends on top most of the times.

Who is the one to instigate things? - Himika again

How healthy is their sex life? -Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now - Ironically they probably have sex more often after divorcing than they did while married >.>

How kinky are they? -Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head - I can’t see them as very adventurous in bed, they don’t probably go beyond trying out new positions.

How long do they normally last? - probably the normal amount? I keep thinkin of the Friends quote of “Now if you excuse me, I’m gonna have the most organized sex” 

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - I don’t see as something they keep track of, sorry.

How rough are they in bed? -Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.  - I think it also depends on the mood, but I doubt they get too far in it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? -No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - If we go by canon, only Reiji, but in my AU I headcanon they have both Ray and Reiji… but Ray is from a previous relationship of Leo… so…. I don’t know where she fits lol

How many children will they adopt? - One, Reira

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Leo has more experience with this, so he does it the first times, and then Himika not to be deterred, learns from him.

Who is the stricter parent? - Himika, hands down.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - They both do, they don’t understand why anyone would do something so foolish.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Leo again, Himika is so busy that she herself forgets to eat sometimes.

Who is the more loved parent? - I think each kid has their favorite, Ray with Leo and Reiji with Himika, and Reira… with Reiji lol.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? Himika, because Leo sucks at handling public speaking and social behaviour in general.

Who cried the most at graduation? - None, they were both proud.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - None? I think they would let them stay there to learn their lesson? 

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - None are very good at cooking lol, so they take turns.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Himika, she has a full list of things she won’t eat.

Who does the grocery shopping? - Leo, again, due to more experience with buying with kids in mind.

How often do they bake desserts? - I don’t think they do it often, if at all, I think the whole family has an aversion to sweet things.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Meat lovers lol, they only do salads in important meetings, because meat is messy.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - They don’t like surprises, so none.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Himika, Leo is a bit of a recluse, especially when working on something.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Dunno, maybe Leo by wanting to do the classic mistake of “if cooking at x temperature take x minutes, then cooking at 5 times the temperature will cook five times faster” we all know how that goes :’D

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Himika gives off the vibe of being a neat freak.

Who is really against chores? - Not so much against it, as forget doing them, but Leo does.

Who cleans up after the pets? - No pets lol

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - None, in fact they don’t even have rugs, because “they’re dirty”

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Himika is always worried about making a good impression, Leo not so much.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - No one, they don’t handle cash.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - None, they’re very efficient about them

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Again, no pets.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Not often, if at all, until they have children.

What are their goals for the relationship? - They probably looked more at what they could accomplish together than their feelings, which is why they end up divorcing but amicable.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - None, they’re both morning people.

Who plays the most pranks? - Pfft, no one.

————————————————–

Smileshipping (Yoko/Yusho)

General:

Rate the Ship -  Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - They last forever because they wanna make sure they become a cheesy old couple who embarrases both their child (Yuya) and their future grandkids with how in love their still are.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Pretty sure it’s canon they fell for each other at first sight, or since this is YGO at first duel, I like to think they’re both hopeless romantics 

How was their first kiss? - 

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Accoring to Yoko she moved in with Yusho, so my guess is that she did it.

Who is the best man/men? - Reluctantly Leo

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - Probably her former gang members.

Who did the most planning? - Yusho is very good at organizing events, so he probably did it.

Who stressed the most? - Stress? They don’t know about it lol

How fancy was the ceremony? -Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.- Assuming they eventually got married like officially I like to think they made the biggest deal out of it, with fireworkd and an audience an all.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - again, can’t think of anyone

Sex:

Who is on top? - Top or bottom are not concepts they use, they just do what the moods tells them to do lol

Who is the one to instigate things? - I think they’re both always equally enthusiastic to iniitiate things, but for the sake of the questions let’s say it’s Yoko.

How healthy is their sex life? -Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now - There’s nothing in this world that convices me that they weren’t always going at it like newlyweds, the only reason I didn’t put it higher it’s because they probably had to more cautious after having Yuya, but previous to that... well :’D

How kinky are they? -Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head - I feel like they would definitely experiment a lot, like in positions and toys and costumes and shit, but I don’t think they would go into the extremes with it either.

How long do they normally last? - Not sure if marathons count lol, in all seriousness I think they last a long time, cuz Yusho strikes me as someones who’s very attentive.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - I don’t think they keep count, but Yusho does live by the rule of “Ladies first” :P

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it. - Lol they don’t rank higher for the reason I put on the amount of times question.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? -No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory. - I mean, is this even a question?

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - They only adopt lol

How many children will they adopt? - one if we go by canon, and maybe if we go into headcanon, Yoko would probably open an orphanage to cuddle all the neglected children from the interdimensional war.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - They were firstime parents so whoever was nearer and less tired.

Who is the stricter parent? - They have both shown to be able to be strict when Yuya needs it, so it’s a tie.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - No one, they’re the type to encourage them as long as proper safet measures are taken 

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Yoko.

Who is the more loved parent? - Love is not a competition with those 2

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Assuming they’re not banned from temper of flashiness related problems, they probably go together.

Who cried the most at graduation? - Yoko.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Yusho, since Yoko is more prone to tough love than him.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Yoko, to everyone’s dismay.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - I don’t think they can afford to be picky with someone like Yoko in the kitchen.

Who does the grocery shopping? - Yoko because Yusho doesn’t bring her ‘wonderful’ ingredients.

How often do they bake desserts? - Yoko does them all the time, whether they’re good or not, it’s for the digestion to judge xD

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - I think they’re more of a carb family, with the amount of physical activity, they need the energy.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Yusho loves to surprise Yoko, because it reminds him of their meeting.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Yusho again.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Yoko, they probably have the fireman’s number on speed dial.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - They take turns I think? 

Who is really against chores? - no one, because they always make a game out of it.

Who cleans up after the pets? - Yoko, since she’s the one who brings them.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Yoko may get lazy at times.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Them? Stress? they don’t know of it.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - I think this couple would have a real problem with loose cash everywhere i the house, not just the couch.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Yoko likes taking long baths.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Yusho does it because it’s a great way of excersising.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - They’re house would probably be visible from the space lol

What are their goals for the relationship? - Long term as stated above.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - On days off, Yusho.

Who plays the most pranks? - Yusho may do this, but light pranks, nothing mean.

The reason why Kimetsu no Yaiba (KnY) is so well received by the Japanese (as such a remarkable phenomenon)

Written by Vũ trụ 一１９九

Translated by Meownie

Proofread by Alice

Everyone knows that just in a short time, KnY has almost occupied the spotlight in all fields, everyone talks about it, the number of sale in goods and comics is enormous, both of them are sold out, etc.

Following my own curiosity with this phenomenon, as well as my existent love for the original work of Kimetsu no Yaiba (the manga), I dug into this issue because, in Japan, every trend has its own root.

Taking aside all the numbers of sale or whatever, which have been analyzed by a lot of people, as I’m not a data person, I will look into the content, the storyline and the core of this phenomenon in reference to many sources and comments about KnY coming from people in this country.

Many of you say that KnY is only at an average level compared to the manga/anime general standard. Then let me tell you what the extraordinariness that an ordinary series can do.

Apparently, there are always conflicting opinions, the Japanese community is no exception. However, the pro-KnY still grows bigger and there is no sign of softening. And here are some positive comments for the success of this series.

1. The anime is excellent in graphics, sound effects, the plot details are neatly arranged, easy to understand and heart touching

Cannot ignore the fact that the anime has built up the KnY’s success. Ufotable made the anime so excellent, especially in terms of visual and sound. It makes the story more approachable and the audience more empathetic to it.

The anime is a contribution to KnY’s greatest success. But many seem to be mistaken that only thanks to the anime did KnY succeed like that?

If the anime succeeds, viewers will be more interested and curious about the main storyline, so they will try to read the original manga. But if the manga was a trashy series, they could stop buying/reading it and just wait for the anime, right? So what is the reason behind the boom in the KnY manga sales until the beginning of this year, and its rankings which are always in the top 3 of WSJ magazine?

Sometimes ago, I did a research and presentation about the anime/manga industry along with the cultural reforms that contributed to the revival of the Japanese economy after the war. In that research, there was a detailed analysis of the connection between the original manga and the anime adaptation as a yin-yang relationship. They are all for the sake of the original publisher and the animation studio, so one will complement the other.

Manga is a product which only attracts a certain group of people, it is not so popular since there are homemakers, young children, the elderly, and people who are not fond of reading, those who do not find manga interesting. But anime is more universal and extensive, as you know, Japanese families often buy a TV to watch the news or to entertain on weekends. The anime is only about hearing and watching, so anyone can access it. When a manga is adapted to an anime, it brings the original closer to the people, and furthermore, hopefully, make it to the big screen.

On the other hand, the original manga is the base, the soul of the work, so readers feel more excited when waiting for each chapter be published in the magazine, waiting for the changes to be re-compiled each time for a new volume. So the manga contributes to increasing a large number of consumers. Of course, buying DVD-BD is definitely more expensive than buying the volume.

As a result, success is mutual support between manga and anime. And making an anime warmly-received is not that easy, the good base of the manga should be credited and vice versa.

I will talk more about the content of the original in the second reason. But initially, it is necessary to distinguish: not all good originals are well-received and vice versa. Everything’s got its relative value, in which context and timing play a role.

2. The charisma of the protagonist, Tanjirou, a young boy trying to save his sister; With a warm-hearted characteristic, his story is not about “revenge” but “restoration”

11 over 10 people being asked, answered that KnY’s success comes from the main character. This is yet another compliment to the editor who directed the way for KnY, Katayama-san, for orienting to make a more gentle, kind Tanjirou, eliminating the brute in the original portray.

Firstly, it is appropriate in this day and age to have a main character who is kind and gentle, which replaces for the old MC portray, who was noisy, hot-tempered and “brainless”. Secondly, it suits the plot that Croc-sensei wants to shape, a story about a boy finding a way to help his sister to be human back, about family love and values. A character who is kind-hearted, with a loving and protective care towards his sister, is more suitable for the readers. On the other hand, the story which does not turn to revenge, but to the path of helping the younger sister to be back to normal and the main character with his sympathy for the tragic fate of the demons makes the readers/audience impressed and pleased and feel like they’re saved and soothed as well.

Tanjirou takes the crown not only because of his kindness but also the determination and strong will, as he does not forgive the crimes committed by the demons. Yes, he is surely sympathetic to them but they all have to pay for their guilt. Therefore, our main character is always consistent from the beginning to the latest chapter and that personality has never wavered.

Not to mention, there is an indispensable point in the MC of WSJ, that they all constantly try their best and do not deny what they are given.

Tanjirou carries all of those points of a MC of WSJ but still reaches many different types of audiences. Lots of mothers want their children to watch KnY so they can show more love towards their families and younger sisters like Tanjirou does.

That is the greatest success of the series. And that’s the reason why the media team take the slogan “Japan’s softest slaying demon story” to PR KnY successfully everywhere.

3. The next detail making the manga a big hit is the consistency in story theme, which is “family”

As everyone knows, the shounen mangas in general and ones in the WSJ, in particular, all discuss the solidarity. But there is a theme in KnY which reaches the audience more easily and widely: “family”. This is the affection that almost everyone can receive and understand.

The modern social situation of Japan, an Asian country, where even though family love is appreciated, the family warmth have gradually disappeared. Children who reach the age of independence and are out of a parent’s guardianship are able to easily leave the country, live independently and rarely return to visit their family. Here in Japan, the proportion of the elderly, late marriage and single people is increasing sharply. The rate of living alone now in Japan is very high and alarming. So a series about love for parents and siblings in the family is like warmth for this cold society.

From an old man’s POV who are living here: “I feel wholesome and nostalgic of the days I spent with my family, feel warm when watching KnY, and how Kamado siblings protect each other.”

The elderly do not pay attention to whatever trend is, they just watch TV basically to enjoy good work and support it.

The family theme is easy to empathize and to be delivered, so even the kids can watch and enjoy it with their mom. There are some POVs from some mothers, telling that their little kids love KnY and hoping they love their family just like the characters in the story do.

Although the context in the story is dark, the path of the story, the way expressing the theme of Croc-sensei is easy to understand, which brings in the light in the darkness and makes the number of readers become more diverse, makes the work more popular and universal.

Tbh, KnY is still very “bright” compared to many series in Japan, so a lot of children can approach this manga. Moreover, there are many cute characters and details in the story.

4. The gap between characters makes a unique way in Gotouge-sensei’s character creation

The Japanese love the interesting dynamic, and they define it as “the gap”. The more surprising gap a character has, the more popular that character is. Briefly, it is, “not judging the book by its cover”.

The first example is the character has the same or sometimes, more popularity over the MC in Japan, Zenitsu. They don’t usually like noisy guys, but because Zenitsu is a cool character and has an interesting gap, which attracts readers. Apart from his noisy, cheerful behaviour,  he is a serious, thoughtful and experienced person who accepts pain and loss just like an adult.

Then there are countless characters with interesting gaps like Inosuke, Giyuu, and the Pillars. Crocs-sensei’s characters are not many, compared to a shounen series. But this is the mangaka’s intelligence to choose the strengths outshining the weakness. Although sensei does not create many characters, sensei has built the base for the character very well, for the impressive appearance of each one and makes the readers/audiences remember them deeply.

The proof of this success is that KnY goods are sold out with every character, from the most to least favourite.

5. The story is clearly set in the Taisho era, coming with its proportional design and architecture that makes the reader accessible

Taisho era is neither old nor new. The people witnessing the change in that era are still alive. But Taisho was the period of transition with the insecurities in the society. So the creation of a fantasy battle with the chaos between demons and people is extremely suitable for the Taisho era.

There are billions of reasons, like the previous parts, here would mention only main points. KnY is simply a normal series, but it is the ORDINARINESS that pulls out the EXTRAORDINARINESS and delivers those CLOSER to the readers. And this “extraordinariness” is not something that a so-normal series can do.

I love the welcoming spirit of the Japanese, they always appreciate new things, yet never forget to maintain and preserve the old ones.

Because it is a constant rule in development.

The same thing applies for the WSJ: increasing sales for the currently published series, at the same time discovering and boosting new titles. And the latter is more important than the former. But they still welcome new series that inherit such values in shounen genre, the magazine would develop the series open-heartedly if it is deserved.

I am also a fan of shounen and WSJ, I think KnY totally deserves the success it has achieved now.

I also hope it is kindly well-received because Kimetsu no Yaiba was made not to be a replacement, not to take any seats from any series. It is simply a shounen legacy in WSJ magazine. You would know that the spirit in shounen manga highly values this “inheritance” characteristic.
