ITALEEAN CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 200 FOLLOWERS!! You deserve more!! (Tbh I wanted to send request since then, but I realised that you'll be hosting an event, and scared that my request will postponed the event further). Anyway, I was wondering if you would write a fic with the chasm squad, with lee itto (hehe)....with yelan, yanfei, shinobu, xiao, and aether as the lers? (Based on the lee I think you know who I am lol). I think the sentence "Please… anything but that..!" would be perfect! You can consider this a fic request, or you can put it in the drabble event, anything comfortable for you (I personally prefer longer fics since I love the way you describe a story with the ambience and stuff). Have a nice day talented writer and please stay healthy!!~

A/N: Hi anon!! (Although yeah, I think I know who this is hahaha) Sorry for making you wait a day more, but yesterday I really couldn't bring myself to write anything decent. Today I'm feeling a bit better and I slowly worked on this drabble throughout the day 😸 I hope you enjoy it!! E grazie per i complimenti, sono molto lusingata (And thanks for the compliments, I'm really flattered) 💚🤍❤️ Feel free to make a request whenever you want ^_^

Drabble Event Day 5

(The story is set in the Chasm, while the characters are stuck there)

"Please... anything but that!" Itto begger while backing away from a group of five people with a mischievous look in their eyes. Maybe bragging with about being invincible hadn't been his smartest choice.

He blinked for a second, and the people approaching him were suddenly four. Then, before he could even process his thoughts, Xiao plunged on him and took him down, pinning his legs under his knees in the process. Maybe calling Xiao 'little guy' right in front of him hadn't been his smartest move either.

"Come on guys, that's not cool... you can't do this!!" He whined, only earning a chuckle in response. "Well, it wouldn't be nice in most cases," said Yanfei seriously "but since you claim to be invincible I don't see a problem with this." She concluded with a smile, although she shivered at the thought of how many times she had been on the receiving end, trying desperately to get away from Hu Tao's clutches.

"I swear on the Archons... don't you daaaaahahahaha nohohohoho thahahat's meheheahahahan!!" Itto didn't even try to hold in his boisterous laughter when all his friends targeted him, going for all his weak spots. "What happened to your invincibility, huh?" Yelan asked with a smirk while dragging her nails under the Oni's arms, switching between going painfully slow to scribbling faster to keep him on his toes.

Aether and Shinobu weren't saying anything, they were just smiling and poking and squeezing their friend's tummy and sides, dipping a finger in his belly button every once in a while just to make him jump a bit. "Ihihihi knohohohow Ihihi sahahahahaihid thahahat buhuhut-" the red-eyed guy didn't manage to say anything more, being too busy laughing from all those sneaky hands attacking him at once.

Yanfei was laughing along with the Oni, while sitting on his thighs and squeezing his knees, going from the left to the right one and sometimes getting both at the same time to see his legs twitch and kick the air reflexively. "Oh Archons, you're so ticklish... I'm sorry but I don't think you're that invincible. Your statement will be considered false due to lack of evidence." She teased, making him blush, although she couldn't see it since she wasn't facing him.

"Tch, serves you right..." Xiao scoffed while dragging his fingers all over the Oni's ears, neck and even collarbone and shoulders, noticing how every spot made him laugh. Although he was keeping his grumpy demeanor, both he and Itto knew he was enjoying himself just as much as the others, because first, he was smirking, subtly but still smirking, and his face was slightly red, indicating that he was a bit flustered.

The Yaksha noticed Shinobu calling him, and then pointing at the top of her head while glancing at Itto. He understood the message and started scratching softly and massaging the base of Itto's horns. The roaring laughing that the simple gesture elicited was so loud that everyone thought that it would cause a collapse.

"SHIHIHINOHOBUHUHU YOHOHOU TRAHAHAIHITOHOR" The white-haired guy yelled at top of his lungs. She was the only one among the group who knew about his ultimate weakness, so he knew she had told Xiao about it somehow. "I don't know what you're talking about, boss... and you don't seem in the position to make false accusations, or accusations at all." She said while looking at him knowingly, letting him understand that she was indeed behind that.

They went on for ten minutes, everyone amazed by Itto's stamina, but eventually the Oni reached his limit and tapped out. "OHOHOKAHAH OHOKAHAHAHAHAY PLEHEHEAHASE NOHOHO MOHOHOHOREHEHEHE" He pleaded while his laughter was getting hiccupy, and everyone stopped right after.

The tall guy remained down panting and recovering from the brutal attack. "Cohompadrehe..." He said looking at the Traveler "How could yohou betray mehehe like that..? Tehelling everyone my weahahakness..?"

"Don't act like you didn't enjoy it!" Aether exclaimed adding another poke to his abs, but he was blushing like crazy because he knew how much Itto liked getting revenge from a tickle attack.

After finding a corner to light up a fire, the Oni sat down and yawned, drained from all those shenanigans, and the others realized how tired they were as well. They all lied down and fell asleep, one after the other, and strangely enough, the white-haired guy was the last to close his eyes.

He looked around himself, observing everyone sleeping peacefully, knowing that the day after they'd wake up well rested and with a positive attitude, that was going to get them out of there.

Maybe provoking his friends into a tickle fight to distract them from that gloomy place for at least a couple of hours had been his smartest move.

Hi, can you please help me with the translation of "In realtà sono schifoso anch'io". Michele Bravi said this in an interview with zia Mara. She was quiet shocked by the words and even though I understand them all, I think they have another meaning. Thank you.

Ciao! I haven't seen the interview but I watched the video cause the actual meaning of the sentence can change according on the context in which he said it. So the two (Michele and Mara Venier) were talking about love, how they both were going to be alone on Valentine's day and should have met just to do something together (chat and similar: the whole time Mara kept saying she feels a strong bond with Michele that goes beyond what one can see with the eyes, she almost feels like he's one of her unborn sons/nephews, someone she may have met in another life, and believes there're a lot of connections between themtwo - i.e., Michele's grandparents who were totally in awe with her and that he loved deeply).

To actually come to your question: Mara asked Michele what he was going to do on Valentine's day and he said "caressing my dog... nothign much". So she started asking Michele why he's alone and he said "you have to ask others... find me a bf!" she replied "you can have whoever you want" and asked how this person is supposed to be like, and Michele said he has to be grounded/determined, most of all. Michele asked her when she found love and she said "I found my true love at 49 y.o." and Michele went "Oh, I still have a lot of time for that then!" and Mara "Yeah but I haven't been caressing my dog all my life... I used to go out before meeting him" (and see other men - she got married before, and so on. She didn't say explicity everything, but this is the meaning). Michele explained: "You know I portray this perfect, set up, serious artist through my look and songs but tbh... *sono uno schifoso anche io*" and Mara finally laughed of joy for he said this out loud lol. With that sentence he means he actually *does things* (meet other people/men, goes out, clubs.... whatever he may like Idk, but he's not a 'saint' -pass me the word- as he might portray on stage and publicy. Schifoso here is used in the acception "I'm a dirty person too in my private life". In fact he also adds "Mara I'm 30 y.o. I know things" or something on that note.)

Hope this helps you :)

3, 6, 8, 20? :3

HI HELLO THANKS I LOVE YOU:

 Referencing This Post:

 3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)

For the amount of time the “Feathers Son Forcibly Lion-Naps Jorge Before Oasis Puts Him Down And The Kazans Adopt Him As Lion!Grandpa, And He Lives Out His Days Gardening And Napping In Sunbeams And Enjoying Birdkid Company” idea(s) have been kicking around in my brainpan, it’s criminal that I haven’t actually written them down?? I want it to be in Jorge’s POV, which would be exciting and uncharted territory for me, and I’ve muttered bits of the dialogue to myself on so many walks, and I just…haven’t….written it yet. (This comes after the Alces-Napping bits in Alces’ POV that I HAVE written—Alces becomes the First Honorary Birdkid, Alces acquires a Fambly™ and is Safe, Alces learns to knit, Alces knits Jorge So Many Sweater Vests, Alces and Jorge become Best Bros Also, it’s so fluffy and fucking adorable. I have not written anything beyond “Alces wants to learn to knit”—more criminal charges for my writer life.)

In completely unrelated news: I would also like to write a short story about a very polite nonbinary assassin beekeeper. I don’t know anything about writing short stories, but I think it’ll be fun!!

 6. What character do you have the most fun writing?

OH NO HELP I HAVE SO MANY!!!

Lucius is obviously a fave (I think it’s because I can get such a Broad Spectrum of Options with him—it has all the fluff potential, and all the action potential, and all the funny potential, and also all the Suffering potential, in so many different ways, and he’s gone through so many canons since his inception that it doesn’t bug me to write him into AUs of himself, and he handles the AUs well even when he knows they're happening—he just sighs and rolls with it. Also, y’know: Bewinged, and he’s a little shit, and I love that for both of us).

I have very been enjoying writing Rell, recently, because she’s awful and hilarious. Other honorable mentions: I miss Hazard? And Sonos. (Hazard and Sonos are fun to write from an Outside POV, because they’re very competent.) I also adore Alicia and Carissa specifically in conversation/conflict, because it’s like jousting (with frenemyship love).

My problem is actually Too Many Faves, Not Enough Time, apparently—this is what I get for making my guiding writing philosophy “What’s Most Fun?” XD

 8. Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?

Honestly…yes? Apparently? I’m big into sci-fi and weird speculative stuff that blurs genre lines, and I read a lot of heavy/dark/violent shit but I need it to also be Hilarious—the balance of intensity and humor is a must for me (I don’t want to catch any feelings if I’m not gonna laugh a few pages later). The Locked Tomb and the Murderbot Diaries are prime examples.

In my writing, I definitely list toward sci-fi and weird speculative stuff, and a bunch of it gets, um. Dark, or Heavy, or Violent (lol oops? I swear I don’t set out to write these things, it just Happens), and I’m not saying everything I write is hilarious, but I have more fun with MCs who have a sense of humor. I’ve also recently been on this kick of playing with Form and Structure (Driscoll hopefully will read like a nightmare loop, and Rell is….a shipwreck….of iterative tellings), and I enjoy books that do that too! Harrow the Ninth blew my mind, and This is How You Lose the Time War was a delight.

(Oh, also: Body horror is always nice. I blame Animorphs, but…will seek out other body horror also, and write a bit of it, too *sweats in nonbinary*.)

Basically, I think: I like the things that I like, both in reading and in writing! Can’t get enough of that shit anywhere, apparently XD

 20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

Ooooh I could go on about all these Forever!! I shall limit myself to two (2), and they shall be restricted mostly to Rell-evant things (because I’m sposed to be inputting edits rn XD):

First: Recurring hidden reference/Easter egg is Welcome Corbitt, My Favorite Asshole!! (This answer brought to you by: I just worked through his appearance in Rell’s story lol.) If you see a shady dude in a colorful suit being an arrogant prick, either as a background presence or (poor Driscoll) as a minor character doing ~Something~ in the story, it’s Welcome, and he’s probably up to no good XD He’s been in everything I’ve written since Average! And I intend to keep putting him in everything, for crossover purposes, should I want that to be a Canon Thing (instead of just a headcanon/side canon thing, which is where all the Welcome stuff currently resides. (I wrote a whole-ass book of Welcome stuff, crossing over my oldest faves!) I do not yet know his Larger Nefarious Purpose, but dammit he has one)!!

Second: I’m delighted by the conch shell idea/symbolism in Rell, right now? It’s not threaded as seamlessly as I want it to be yet, but, hey: it’s only a second draft lol. It’s a fucking perfect metaphor for, one, how she’s telling this story (spiraling iterations, echoing each other and retold on slightly different scales every time) and, two, her fucking armor (metaphorical also)(…maybe I should give Rell real armor, as a Treat). I really want to put conch shell in the title somewhere, but I also really want to put Tide Locked in the title, and I suck at titles and can’t figure out how to put them together (can’t just be Locked Tides and Conch Shells, I don’t think, because we’re mostly talking about a singular Tide and Tide locking is the specific name of the magic, and Tide Locked in a Conch Shell sounded stupid to me, and titles are the bane of my existence. I am taking Suggestions™). Anyway: CONCH SHELL IS THE BEST METAPHOR I’VE HAD FOR A BOOK SO FAR AND I’M STOKED ABOUT IT.

“4 blueberry muffins and 1 hot chocolate to go please.” I smiled at Sinthia. Her eyes crinkled as she grinned and started shuffling behind the counter.

“No chocolate chip cookies today?” She asked as she bent down behind the shelf.

“Nope, he’s not in a good mood today. Blueberry muffins are for turning the sour mood into sweet, they somehow always work.”

“I think we both know why they work sweetheart.” Sinthia said as she came up from behind the counter with a paper bag in her hand. I tilted my head to the side and looked at her with a puzzled face, silently asking her what she meant.

“Don’t you remember the first time you both met in this very cafe?”

I smiled as the fond memory replayed in my head.

“The usual Sinthia, thank you.” I smiled at the little woman behind the counter and moved to the side.

My phone vibrated in the back pocket of my jeans. Pulling it out I saw that it was my mom calling, my fingers immediately swiped across the screen.

“Mama!”

“Come stai mio caro? (How are you my darling?)

“Sto bene mama, come stai?" (I’m doing well mom, how are you?)

“Sono grande dolcezza, come vanno le lezioni? Com'è Y/f/n?” (I’m great my sweetness, how are classes? How’s y/f/n?)

“Le lezioni sono frenetiche mama.”(The classes are hectic mom) A sigh escaped past my lips, “Ma per fortuna ho Y/f/n per superare tutta la merda.” (But luckily I have Y/f/n to get through all the shit.)

“linguaggio!” (Language!) I chuckled as she laughed in return. I could imagine her shaking her head, eyes rolling at my behavior.

“I-”

“Excuse me sweetheart.” I whipped my head around to see Sinthia looking at me.

“Yes Sinthia?” I asked my mom to wait for a second and muted the call.

“That young man over there” She pointed to a man behind me. I turned around to see a man with blond hair sitting in the corner booth, his chin perched on his palm as he stared out at the street.

I turned back to look at Sinthia, “What about him?

“He has ordered a blueberry muffin too. But the problem is that I only have one of those sweet treats left and he looked really upset. Do you mind if I give it to him? I can pack your favorite chocolate scones instead.”

I smiled, “Of course, it’s no big deal.”

Sinthia grinned and patted my shoulder, “You really are a gem, tesoro.(Darling)”

“Y/n? la mia bambina? (My baby girl?)”

“Shit” I muttered as I realized my mom was still on hold.

“Mama, posso richiamarti prima o poi? (Mom, Can I call you back in sometime?)

“Certo baby” (Sure baby)

“Va bene, ciao mama, ti amo!” (Okay, bye mom, I love you!)  

“Ti amo troppo cara!” (Love you too dear!)

Cutting the call, I saw Sinthia circling around the counter, probably going to give the stranger his order.

“Hey Sinthia, wait up!” She spun around to look at me.

“Do you mind if I give it to him?”

“Do you mind if I ask why?”

“Just wanted to see the man who was stealing my favorite food.” A sly smile took over my face and Sinthia giggled, handing the tray to me.

“He’s all yours.”

I looked down at the tray to see a cup of black coffee and the blueberry muffin I had been craving since yesterday. Shaking my head, I made my way to the corner booth.

“Hey, um, excuse me”

He turned around to look at me, “Yes?”

Suddenly, I couldn’t speak. He was gorgeous, absolutely breathtaking. His blond locks were messy on top of his head, mask pulled down to his chin, lips full and red. His eyes bore into mine as I stood there frozen, unable to do anything in front of the Greek-God like human.He also looked awfully familiar.

“Um?” His voice snapped me out my stance as I cleared my throat and let out a breath I’d been holding since the minute my eyes landed on his beautiful face.

“I, uh, I have your order.” I said, placing the tray on the table.

“Oh, thank you, I didn’t see any waitress when I had walked in?”

“Oh no, I’m not a waitress.”

Now I had begun to question my decision of serving him, why did I ask to do this again? This was probably the stupidest decision of my life.

“Oh okay?” He frowned as he looked up at me.

Without thinking, I quickly slid into the seat in front him and began talking.

“I’ve been coming to this cafe for almost 3 years now. I moved here when I got into Seoul National University. This has kind of been my safe place since then, not to mention Sinthia has been a mother like figure for me. She also helps me learn Korean and sometimes gives me yummy treats for free. Anyways, so today we were partnered up for a literature project and I was paired up with this cocky jock who’s so fucking full of myself. Then someone spilled their coffee on my favorite white top. It’s just been a shit day and I really wanted one of Sinthia’s blueberry muffins with the delicious dark roast she makes. But then it turns out you looked upset too so I let you have the last blueberry muffin.”

At the end of my mini rant, I squeezed my eyes shut, face turning red from embarrassment. I had literally just said random shit to a complete stranger who already looked like he wanted to be left alone.

“Here.” His voice made me snap open my eyes.

He was wiping his mouth with a tissue as he passed me the remaining half of the muffin.

“It looks like we both need something to lighten up.” He smiled and I swear I felt my heart skip a beat.

And then suddenly, it clicked.

“Holy shit” I mumbled.

“Is everything okay?”

I looked him dead in the eye, “You’re RM! Oh my god I just said complete nonsense to one of the biggest stars in the world.” I leaned back against the seat and mentally smacked myself for making a fool out of myself in front of one of  the world’s biggest idols.

“Cosa c'è che non va nella tua ragazza!” (What is wrong with you girl!) I muttered to myself.

“Ahh you recognized me, but for now I’m Namjoon.” He took out his hand for me to shake, a small smile still tugged on his lips.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down and took his extended hand in mine.

“Hi Namjoon, I’m Y/n.”

“You’re Italian Y/n? I heard you speak on the phone earlier.”

“You heard me?” I squealed.

He laughed, “Yeah, it’s 1am in the morning and we’re the only ones here.”

“Wait, you know Italian?”

“A little bit, I could catch a few words you spoke.”

“Half Italian, half Spanish actually.”

“That’s interesting.”

“You bet.”

“Oh by the way, I have no clue why I just came and dumped all of my problems on you, I’m really sorry for that.” I sighed and inwardly cringed at my actions.

“Aigo, stop worrying. Tell me more about your literature project and this jock you’re paired up with.”

“Y/n! Earth to Y/n?” Sinthia waved her hands in front of my face. I jumped slightly and laughed, “Sorry, took a little trip down the memory lane.”

Her face beamed at my words as she passed me the bag of muffins and the cup of hot chocolate.I took out my wallet to pay but was stopped by little hands clutching my fingers.

“Don’t, it’s on me tonight.” Sinthia grinned.

“But I-”

“No buts Y/n, go make your superstar boyfriend’s day.”

“You spoil us too much I swear.”

****

“Noona!”

“Jungkookie!”

Our laughter died in the air as we embraced each other. I pulled back and ruffled his black hair as he gave me his famous bunny smile.

“How are you noona?”

“I’m great Kook, is he still in the studio?”

“Yeah, he’s working on some new tracks with Yoongi hyung.”

“And that of course means he must have not eaten for hours.” I sighed, his habits always worried me.

“You got that right.”

“Good thing I come bearing treats.” I said, raising the paper bag in my hand and shaking it with a cheeky smile on my face.

A big smile stretched across his face as he made grabby hands towards me.

“Gimme Gimme Gimme”

I giggled,”Take one Jungkookie, we have to save some for Yoongi and Namjoon hyung.” Jungkook happily retreated one muffin from the bag and released a content ‘hmm’ after taking the first bite.

“I’m gonna go and see him now Kookie.”

He nodded. “He’ll be happy to see you.”

“알아,준비 됐어 “ (I know, I’m prepared)

His eyes widened as his choked on the muffin. I laughed loudly and made my down the hall to the Rkive.

Knocking twice I heard Yoongi shout, “뭐?” (What?)

Without replying, I opened the door, revealing Namjoon and Yoongi hunched over the studio board. Namjoon’s eyes met mine and a big grin stretched across his face.

“Hi Y/n” Yoongi said smiling while getting up.

“Hey” I said and pulled him in for a side hug.

“What’s that?” He asked, looking at the paper bag in my hand. I opened it and tilted it towards him, “Have one”

He looked down and pushed his hand inside it, pulling out a muffin. A gummy smile appeared on his face as he turned around and pointed at Namjoon,”당신은 자신에게 맞는 여자를 얻었다” (You got yourself the right girl.)

Namjoon chuckled and flipped him off. Yoongi stuck his tongue out at him, gave me one last toothy grin and made his way out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

“Hey” He said as I walked towards him, placing the muffins on the side table. Swinging my leg across his thighs, I straddled him, my arms locking behind his shoulders. His hands take a hold of my waist, face nuzzling in my neck. His deep breath hits my skin, making a shiver run down my spine. I took my right hand and massaged his scalp earning a little whine from him. I giggled, the soft boy in my arms making my heart turn to mush.

“You’re too cute.” My soft voice broke the comfortable silence.

He looked up at me and snorted, “I’m sorry, have you looked at yourself in the mirror jagi? You’re literally the definition of cute.”

Now it was my turn to snort, my hands cupped his rosy cheeks as he leaned in my palm, “Stop being cheesy Joonie.”

“Can’t help it when it comes to you.” He placed a very soft kiss on my lips, letting it linger for a few seconds. My heart combusted at the action, senses fogging as I lost myself in the feeling of his soft lips on mine.

“I got you something to eat.” I said pulling away and getting up. Picking up the bag of muffins, I threw them in his lap and sprawled across the small couch.

He opened the bag and whistled,”You know me too well.”

He immediately started munching on the muffins, now looking much more relaxed under the dim lights of his studio.

“You can’t keep doing this you know.”

“Doing what?” His voice came out muffled as he chewed on the delicious muffin.

“Neglecting your health, overworking, stressing too damn much.”

“I don’t do it purposefully.” He grumbled, brows furrowing.

“I know baby.” I turn to my side and fold my arm, plopping my head on my palm.”But you have to take care of yourself Joon, your heath should be the priority.”

He wiped his hands against the back of his sweats and came towards me. In the next second, I was squeezed below Namjoon’s body.

I squealed, “What the fuck are you doing?! Namjoon!”

“Hmm” He mumbled as his arms circled around my figure and pulled me closer to him, if that was even possible.

“Get up Joonie.” I whined from under him.

“No” He grumbled, placing his head on my chest, his long legs draped over mine.

“We’re too big for this couch Namjoon.”

“Doesn’t matter, just wanna be close to you.”

My breath hitched in my throat as I repeated his words in my head. He was too good to me, I didn’t deserve an angel like him. I shifted underneath him and he whined in return.

“닥쳐 (shut up), I’m trying to get comfortable.”

He hummed.

I smiled to myself.

share the love con panels

thought i’d write down some interesting answers from the cast (there were many more, but i have a bad memory and i took only a few notes)

first of all, before the panels even started the staff told us not to ask questions about season four, we know they are filming it, but they can’t talk about it. so yeah, our hopes and dreams of an announcement or besse making a surprise appearance (🤡) didn’t come true. they never talked about it, when you mentioned it to them they raised their hands or zipped their mouths or were like “idk what u’re talking about 👀😇😬” so obviously they contractually have to keep their mouths shut. but it’s happening y’all!

the only one who slipped, at the very last panel, was rocco and i was the culprit lol. i asked them if they’d imagined the fandom would support them and fight so hard during the cancellation months and bea said no, seeing our hashtags trending almost every day and receiving so much love was touching and incredible. she made rocco talk (mentioned how “he became saint rocco”) and rocco also said he couldn’t imagine the amount of support, and that “the power is all in your hands, and it was worth it-“ and then realized he spoke too much dhshdhfvk the others side-eyed him and he was like “ops” but we all laughed and moved on.

pietro had a lgbtq+ themed panel with an italian youtuber called shanti. they talked a lot about representation, how it changed for the better in the last 20 years or so, how for example right now there’s attention being given to trans* storylines too, and pietro made some really good points about how a show like skam italia should give hope and a positive representation to a young audience, without unnecessary violence or struggles inserted just for tragedy’s sake. how it may seem that martino lives an “easy” and relatively painless experience coming out and being gay, at least in his season, but young queer people should hope and know that that’s possible for them too. he said that he and filippo are different, and it’s good and precious that they are. we don’t know if filippo is an activist, like pietro is, but sometimes sharing one’s personal experience is enough to help. even if filo is not shown as an activist, he is so aware of his identity, he shares his own experience and point of view with marti and it gives marti courage. and that’s enough. finally, i asked what his favorite lgbtq+ tv shows are and he said queer as folk (he realized he was gay thanks to qaf), he absolutely loved euphoria, and thinks sense8 is a masterpiece (but he didn’t finish it smh). he said elite is just cute (😤) and he also told another fan he finished and loved fleabag!!

i also asked pietro what he, besse, rocco and fede were doing in the carrefour parking lot that night in august and he said that supermarket is open 24h and close to his house and he had to go buy groceries so he caught two birds with one stone, called them up and they drank and ate tramezzini (cold sandwiches, besse got a burrito he said) in the parking lot... and yes, they were organizing the revolution.

fede said what he likes the most about martino is his devotion to the people he loves. what he doesn’t like is how sometimes he shuts out the rest of the world, but it’s a problem he has learned to solve.

rocco said he’s thankful that skam italia has given him more awareness on some topics he used to treat superficially. he also talked about how much he relied on ludo and his research to portray bpd respectfully, and he’s glad that people found themselves represented in nico and that he could help them. it’s the greatest compliment. his eyes shine when he talks about nico, he loves his character so much.

a fan asked what was their favorite line to say. rocco’s is “non è figo il mio tipo?”, greta’s is “gli dei sono immortali”, nicholas’s is “sei frocio?”, pietro’s is “l’acqua solo se mi prende fuoco camera” from season 3, fede said “does it have to be my line? cause i like no zì sbagliato” but for his own it’s “minuto per minuto”. i can’t remember bea’s 😭

greta said the girls tend to stick to the script a lot more than the boys, she said ludovico tersigni literally never says a line how it’s written. nicholas confirmed that the boys (contrabbandieri) tend to improvise more and use the script sort of as a base, and that they piss besse off because he says it looks like they go on set just to goof around and gossip and not to do their jobs lol

i asked nicholas if they ate luchino’s pizza crusts. he said he had like 7 kilos of them because they had to retake that scene many many times, cause they wouldn’t stop laughing, as we can see in the bloopers (he also said it was the most fun scene to shoot) and bessegato would just keep adding mustard, ketchup and mayo on them. he felt sick the day after and “tasted mustard for a week”. fyi, nicholas and luchino are literally the same person. there’s no line between the character and the person, i love him so much. he also said he was having the time of his life in bracciano, with the light summer breeze, while the others were dying in their clothes and blankets.

marti’s spirit animal is the fox, fede’s is a golden retriever (debatable but okay). i think rocco said a cat, greta said besse once told her silvia is a goldfish, bea feels like a tiger but thinks sana is an eagle and i didn’t get the rest cause it was all very confusing lol

federico’s panel on sunday was actually very interesting, he is actually quite eloquent and deep when he wants to. he talked about how he really took the “minuto per minuto” philosophy to heart. how he doesn’t set long-term goals for himself, because he wants the freedom to change. how he chose to study medicine because after high school he knew he wanted to keep studying, and a bit like acting, there’s a fundamental human aspect to it that he’s always been interested in.

a fan reminded him it was marti and nico’s anniversary and he said “how are they celebrating? patatine e marmellata or sushi? in nicco’s new house? have our heroes moved there?” and we were all like Bitch u tell us... ofc he didn’t. but he said he imagines marti and nico celebrating their anniversary at a sushi restaurant in porto fluviale, in ostiense (rome). also, fede says their anniversary is bracciano (dec 1st) and rocco says it’s nel mio letto (nov 1st), i’m afraid we have to go with fede on this one.

i think the best question out of every panel was about marti’s interest in gio: was it real, or was it just a fixation? he said it was real interest, that stayed over the summer too. he and ludo had to find a way to show the shift in martino, and it was hard because they switched seasons and so there was no time for it to be gradually shown. however, where they imagined that shift to happen, is in ep1 when gio sleeps in marti’s bed. marti feels uneasy because of his feelings for him, but at the same time, he is uneasy because of the guilt. when he talks with eva on the phone and sees how giovanni reacts to that, how he’s still so clearly into her, he decides he has to move on from him, and gives up any hope or idea to have a relationship with him.

at rocco and fede’s sunday panel, rocco said he admires federico’s dedication to his work and his professionalism. fede and him bantered and bickered a lot, it was adorable, especially when rocco said some nonsense metaphor and fede was like “basta!” and fede kept asking for more compliments. but the question was about what marti and nico liked the most about each other, and federico said “it’s the kind of love where you like someone so much and you don’t even know why” as in, because you like everything about them, so that was beautiful.

a fan asked if there was any embarrassment between them, they said of course initially there was a lil bit of awkwardness, but they warmed up to each other immediately. one of the very first scenes they shot was an intimate one, rocco said the first kiss they shot was nel mio letto and they’d never rehearsed kissing before. amazing.

fede’s favorite color is blue (nicholas’ too).

rocco and nicholas sat in the crowd at the end of fede’s panel and rocco was like “tell us the story of bambi” and fede called him “er lucertola” and said it all started because of a tossico (junkie/drunk), i love them. nicholas made fun of him for his role in “i cesaroni” but fede said he’s only jealous cause they auditioned for the same role but fede got it, and nicholas has him saved as “andy dei cesaroni” in his phone. 

some anecdotes from other moments (m&g, dinners) i found on twitter: federico said when they shot la grotta, there was this whole solemn atmosphere, and then he broke it cause when they finished shooting he realized he had rocco’s snot on his face and he was like “MA CHE CAZZO È, CHE SCHIFO (what the fuck, gross)” and said rocco was always crying on him (i guess referring to the martino e niccolò clip) and rocco was like yes there was a significant exchange of bodily fluids. okay rocchì.

apparently fede likes his beard so much he said he doesn’t recognize himself without it. 

some fans adopted two giraffes in the bioparco di roma in their name as a gift!

rocco cried on the phone with bessegato when skam italia was cancelled. we been knew but it hurts to get the confirmation.

maxence and lukas are two rays of sunshine. not an anecdote, but i felt like saying it.

last but not least, rocco, nicholas and fede went absolutely batshit over @crazybee‘s “alt er besse” shirt. their reactions were priceless. rocco and nicholas took pics of them, nicholas was the one who sent them to besse and he reposted it on ig. forever blessed.

[siyeonjisoo]

Oookay.  Long post in-coming.  TL:DR is I saw the GazettE yesterday and while it was a really fucking long day, IT WAS AMAZING AND ALL WORTH IT AND I LOVE THEM AND MY FRIENDS <3 <3 <3

SO my day started at 3:50am when I woke up.  got on a train at 5:17 in the morning to get to NYC by 7.  I ended up being the 34th person in line.  The folks at the front of the line had come straight from Dallas and started lining up at 4am which is both insane but awesome.  I was waiting for the discord friends to show up and was the second one to show up.  the line was originally along the front entrance of the building and all mixed.  The business on the corner, however, really hates the lines being in front of their entrance so we actually got split from VIP and GA really early.  I think it was like 9am when that happened and all of us who are familiar with how shit Playstation staff’s organization usually is were shook.

My friends and I had a great time hanging out all day long so I got no complaints, even though I sat my ass on a sidewalk in Times Square for 10 hours yesterday.  We had ourselves organized and knew we were gonna be fine but Playstation staff showed their true identities by trying to fuck with it all day long.  We all got in several shouting matches of them just going on power trips and us trying to explain that they don’t have to worry about us.

I also painted my nails at some point in line haha

Because we were so damn close to the doors, we could hear soundcheck from outside.  They played Zetsu, Shadow VI II I, Sumire, and Bathroom and I was fucking crying so much then.  Those were the first tears of the day, I think, but nowhere near the last.  We were all freaking out over it.

A little bit after that, I went on a trip to use the bathroom (which was the last time I think I went before I got home at 2am lol.  Held anything from like 3pm till then).  We were going to the Hardrock Cafe for that so we had to walk from the alley tunnel where the VIP lines were around the block past the main entrance of Playstation.  A staff member came walking out just as a car was pulling up with 3 men in the backseat.  They all had light blonde hair and masks on.  Staff hurriedly ushered them inside.  I saw the eyes of one of the guys and I swear to god that it may have been Kai.  It was after the soundcheck so unless staff did the soundcheck for them, they went out for lunch after and I saw them when they came back.  Which is possible.  So yeah, that may have happened.

We were allowed to go inside starting around 6:30 so we started organizing ourselves into the number order we had around 5 just so we could be ready when staff started letting us in.  I was standing from 5pm then until like 9:45, after the concert ended.  At 6:10, they started organizing us by letting us snake through to get our VIP bands and (if you were Heresy) other bracelets.  We got like 25 people through that way and it was taking REALLY long so they gave up on that and sent the first bunch through.  Because a lot of people weren’t there (either were GA given a # by accident or just not there) I ended up being within the first 20 to get inside.

I hit up the merch table to get a Reita bear and because of that, lost the chance to get the barricade but I still was in the 3rd row on the side that I wanted to be on.  It was around 7 by then and we were all just waiting for everyone to get in.  I talked with all the people around me and we all had a great time.  At 8:02, the concert started.

Here is the setlist:

99.999

Falling

NINTH ODD SMELL

GUSH

Vortex

Venomous Spider's Web

THE MORTAL

SONO KOE WA MOROKU

DOGMA

The Suicide Circus

INCUBUS

UGLY

ABHOR GOD

Filth in the Beauty

encore

INSIDE BEAST

Cockroach

Tomorrow Never Dies

I managed to keep my spot in front of Reita in the 3rd row for the entire show, only moving like an inch or two away from center, toward Aoi.  By the time Vortex happened, I definitely was not standing on my own feet but was being held up by the crowd and swaying all around with them.  I had one foot on the ground to keep me, well, grounded, and was just being pushed back and forth with the crowd from then on.  I don’t think I have been that covered in sweat in my entire life.  My shirt was fucking drenched, thank goodness it was a thick material so the white didn’t become transparent at least haha.

The folks directly behind me were holding onto my shoulders and back to balance while headbanging and that pushed me forward and backward so I was headbanging better so thanks fam!

I also got a punch in the eye at one point and this was the thought process of my reaction (over the span of like 2 seconds):  "oh no, i'm a daycare teacher! I can't have a black eye!" then "fuck it, I'm at a concert I don't care" then "wait it didn't even hurt that much why was I so dramatic".  There was no damage and I was just being dramatic so enjoy laughing at me.

I was right in front of Reita so I got lots of him.  He stuck his tongue out while making eye contact with me at one point.  I saw heaven in that moment.  He also kept doing this weird little waving thing with his hand throughout and it was really fucking cute and made me laugh while doing it back at him.

Ruki would also hop up in the area right in front of us, right on the edge of the stage, and after the first time he came there, I was on that one foot until the main set ended.  Seeing Ruki’s dorky dancing in person, that close, is so funny.  I laughed so hard every single time he did his little chicken neck dance thing.  Can’t take him seriously when he does that.

Aoi was teasing all of us and being a handsome man.  He also attempted to turn Sono Koe wo Moroku into a sexy song with how he was dancing there.

Kai and Uruha were on their side of the stage the entire time and I couldn’t see either of them very well but every time I did, they were breathtakingly beautiful and seemed to be having so much fun.

Main set ended around 9:08.  We chanted back and forth between encore and gazetto for like 11 or 12 minutes before they came back on.

Aoi and Reita stayed in their costumes while Kai and Uruha had changed into tour shirts.  URUHA LOOKED SO FUCKING SEXY IN HIS BECAUSE he had cut the sleeves off and the collar so it was a low v-neck style.  Made his choker necklace stand out even more and HOLY FUCK IS THAT MAN SEXY.  Kai took his microphone and yelled at us in English about how fucking awesome we were and it was so nice hearing him curse for some reason.  I can’t explain why it was so nice to hear but it was.  After that, they started a slightly elongated instrumental intro to Inside Beast before Ruki came out on stage and he also had not changed out of his costume.

The only time that Uruha came past the center onto my side was during Inside Beast I think.  The only words I could think at that moment were “oh my god, that man is so beautiful”.

I knew that Tomorrow Never Dies was going to be the last song they played so as soon as Ruki started saying “last”, I started feeling like I was going to cry.  But the problem with that was the fact that I had sweated out so much liquid that I had no tears.  So I sobbed but without tears throughout that entire song.  After that song, Aoi, Uruha, and Reita threw their pics into the crowd.  One of Aoi’s landed like a foot or two to my left but either someone caught it and didn’t tell anyone or it got lost cause no one claimed to have caught it after.

Kai had his phone and took a picture from behind his drumset.  I think it was a selfie with us in the background.  Then he came down to the front, smiley as ever, and took some more pics of just us.  I found myself.  I’m in the purple circle here

We then all went up to the chairs in the back to wait for it to be M&G time.  I would have been fine if my day had ended there, honestly, because it had already been amazing.  But no, there was still more.  It was like 9:30/9:40 when they started clearing the rows to go through.  I was surprisingly calm about it because I was concentrating on my promise to a friend.  She was behind me in line and I had promised to get Aoi to wish her a happy birthday since it is today, the day after the concert.  So I focused on that and making sure I could say that to him instead of freaking out over anything else.

so the order was Aoi, Reita, Ruki, Kai, Uruha.  one by one, here is what happened.

Aoi: he takes my hands and thanks me in English.  I thank him in Japanese while marveling in how SOFT his hands are.  Then I tell him, again in Japanese, about it being my friends bday tomorrow and asking him to say something.  He looks at her and grins and nods to me.  Reita is staring at me now and I almost froze having both of them looking straight at me at the same time.

Reita: I hand to him the card I wrote for all of them and he takes it while saying, in English, “For me?” and he sounded so cute.  I corrected him and said it was for all of them and he nodded and thanked me, in Japanese, and I thanked him too.  I kinda didn’t even notice that he wasn’t looking at me with two eyes because I was in so much shock.

Ruki: He gave me the softest smile as he took my hand in both of his.  I thanked him and almost couldn’t let go of his hands.  Not because of me, but because of him not wanting to let go.  I think he saw my tattoo when we shook hands which makes me happy.

Kai: THIS MAN IS SO SWEET.  I thanked him while we shook hands and this is kinda when I started losing my mind.  I let go of his hands kinda fast but I told him, in Japanese, that he has an amazing smile and he tilted his head and smiled at me.  Like just at me and my legs almost gave out under me.

Uruha: His hands.  They are so big.  And so soft.  AND HE IS SO FUCKING HOT.  I had completely lost my mind by then so he said thank you in English and I just couldn’t say anything else but thank you in English.  My brain was goop.

I walked away from Uruha on shaky legs, got my VIP little towel, and then collapsed against a wall and started sobbing.  11 and a half years waiting for an opportunity to thank them, face-to-face, finally brought to an end last night and it all just crashed down on me in that moment.

My friend who was behind me came out crying and came straight to give me a hug and we just hugged and cried for almost a minute, just standing there.  Aoi had wished her a happy birthday, as expected, but Reita did too.  That’s why he had been staring at me while I spoke to Aoi lol.

I just wandered around with my friends inside the venue, trying to keep from sobbing completely because ain’t nobody need that kind of attention from a venue’s staff.

My friends all parted ways to go back to their respective Airbnbs or hotels while I started my lonely walk back to Penn station.  But I was still kinda crying so I scanned the crowd of people also walking in that direction until I found people I recognized to be from this concert.  Caught up with them and asked if I could walk with them for a little bit so I wouldn’t be a girl walking through the city, alone, crying, at night.  We ended up stopping to get food together and chatting for like an hour before I had to head off to catch my train.

I cried literally off and on the entire way home.  On the train, walking from train to car, driving home, every step of the way.  I ended up being awake for a solid 22, almost 23, hours yesterday.  My throat is still sore today.  My neck hurts so much.  My heart is so full of emotions that I am still so close to crying at any moment.  All of the stress about the semester up until now? Worth it.  All of my worries about finals? Gone.  I met and spoke with (in Japanese) the human beings who inspired me to start learning Japanese in the first place.  I will be graduating from college in 13 days as both a member of Sigma Tau Delta and cum laude.  Not to be overdramatic or cringey or anything but I know for a fact that I would not be at this point in my life if I hadn’t found this band when I was 11.5 years old.  11.5 years later, this is what my life is like.  I have the money to afford to MEET them.  And the opportunity for it.  Life can change so much.  Like, if anyone ever needs a reminder that “it get’s better” this is it!

The first goal was just to see them in concert.  That was ticked off the list in 2016 at their first world tour.  The second was to meet them and be able to say “thank you” to them in person.  That was ticked off the list last night.  The new goal? get them all to autograph my arm, under where I have their logo, so I can get that tattooed as well.  My entire left arm is going to be dedicated to bands that have shaped who I am so there will also be Miyavi tattoos and maybe even some Berryz Koubou tattoos there one day but for now, the goal is their autographs.  So look out for that.

Also, check out all of my beautiful and lovely friends.  I love them all so much and miss you all already!! (I’m the blondie grinning like a dork because I was so happy!)

The best cure for an emo mode

Based on this masterpiece by @skribblz​

During a volleyball match Bokuto gets into another emo mode and there's only one thing that can bring the optimistic ace back

NOTE: Ciao, scusate se questi giorni sono un po' sparita... (Hi, sorry if I kinda disappeared these days) unfortunately I got covid and yesterday I wasn't in my best mood. Now I have some symptoms, but I've been through worse experiences, so I should be back on track, also because I've got a lot of free time in isolation lol. I hope you enjoy the fic!! Support and/or suggestions are always appreciated 💚🤍❤️

DISCLAIMER: This is a tickle fic, if it's not to your taste I don't suggest you read it

Set

SPIKE

whistle

OUT!!

This was the fifth time that Bokuto missed his line shot, he'd been nailing them the whole week, so why now nothing went as he wanted?

When his hair began to lower, his temmates predicted what he was about to say. 'Guys...' he began 'DON'T TOSS TO ME ANYMORE!!' he declared dramatically. Hearing that, the Fukurodani players sighed and resumed the game as always. However the ace showed no sign of optimism during the whole set, which they lost.

The ace used the break to go to the restroom and Akaashi, being the kind and generous friend and boyfriend he was, followed him straight away. He found him moping on a toilet (he didn't even bother to close the door). 'Are you okay?' asked the second year. 'AGASHIII!! I NEED IT!!!' whined Bokuto. 'R-right now, Bokuto-san?' the setter couldn't believe that his boyfriend chose that moment to ask for that. They only had few minutes before the game restarted!

Bokuto, however, knew how to persuade him 'Pleaseee' he said with the cutest tone of voice. 'Fine... but only two minutehehehes nohoho waihit' the ace didn't waste even a second and got to work, digging softly in his lover's sides. One may think that he needed to be made laugh, but in reality, the thing that always got him out of his emo mode was Akaashi's laughter.

'Hehehehehehe are you hahahahahappy nohohow?' the setter tried to ask 'Not even close' Bokuto answered, then he went to his ribs ad underarms, going back and forth between the two spots. Those weren't as ticklish as other parts, but the ace couldn't wear Fukurodani's brain out, so he kept it soft.

Despite his non-aggressive approach, Akaashi was quickly reduced to a puddle of giggles, which were the most endearing sound in the world for the third year.

'Timehehehe's up! Wehehe gottahaha gohohoho' Bokuto stopped right after hearing those words, feeling better than ever. 'You are great, Bokuto-san. Let's prove it to the other team, too.'

The second year knew exactly what his boyfriend needed to hear, in fact, the taller guy had the biggest smile ever and exclaimed 'YESS!! LET'S WIN THIS MATCH!!' and then he went back to the court, announcing himself with his typical 'HEY HEY HEEEEY!!' to let everyone know that the ace was back. Akaashi was right behind him, smiling fondly at the sight of his lover being cheerful and back in shape.

TIMESKIP

'HEY HEY HEEEEY!! WE WOOON!!' Bokuto yelled nothing but that the whole way home, followed by a quiet setter. After the overwhelming victory, the ace invited the second year at his place to celebrate. Obviously ordering take-out to avoid a dramatic turn of events involving Bokuto and the kitchen.

After coming back home, the couple waited for their dinner to arrive and chatted a bit to kill some time. Surprisingly enough, the match was the main topic. Akaashi didn't really mind, on the contrary, he was glad to see his lover so passionate about what he did. What they both did. What brought them together.

'...and have you seen my last spike? I think it was the best ever and it made us win the match!!' well, clearly the shorter one had seen it, since he was the one who tossed the ball, but he didn't give it much thought and answered 'Yes, it was perfect'. 'And it's all thanks to you the ace concluded. Feeling a bit romantic, he lifted Akaashi's sleeve and placed a tender kiss on his shoulder. What neither of them expected was the squeak that followed the sweet gesture.

'What was that?' Bokuto asked genuinely curious. 'U-ummmm... nothing...' the setter was already blushing. He himself didn't know his shoulders were ticklish.

'I KNOW, I KNOW!' uh oh... the third year had a smug look in his eyes and he was way too excited for Akaashi to feel safe, which is why he tried to dart straight to the bedroom and lock himself in, but unfortunately his lover was faster and hugged him tightly and started lightly kissing the newly found spot, eliciting giggles and little squeaks, tha grew in intensity when he dared to give some nibbles.

The surprises didn't end there, though. When Bokuto's fingers accidentally grazed his lover's elbow, he jumped, giving away another ticklish spot.

'WAAAAHH AGASHIII!! YOU'RE TOO CUTE!!' the taller guy yelled, tickling him gently. 'EEP! I'm nahahahahat hahahahahaha' hearing that, the ace gasped and exclaimed 'What nonsense are you saying? You're the sweetest cutest boyfriend ever!! Here, I'll prove it to you'

The third year stopped the gentle tickled and picked his lover up bridal style. Then he proceeded to throw him on the couch and started squeezing his thighs.

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAHAT THEHEHEREHEHEH' it was surprising seeing a guy like Akaashi, who was usually composed, go ballistic like that, but his thighs were his death spot, so it couldn't be helped.

'Tickle tickle tickle...' when it came to making his lover realize how adorable he was, the ace knew no mercy. He squeezed, poked and scribbled every inch of the second year's thighs, enjoying every single moment and every single reaction.

'Are you ready to admit that you're the cutest guy who ever existed?' Bokuto asked teasingly. By that time, the setter's face was beet red and tears were forming in the corner of his eyes. However, he'd be lying if he said that he didn't like it at least a bit. 'IHIHIHIHI'M NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT CUHUHUHUHUTEHEHEHEH STAHAHAHAHAHAP'

His reply wasn't really appreciated by his boyfriend, who decided it was time to go for the kill. He manhandled his lover to make him sit on his lap and, without stopping the tickles on his thighs, he began smooching his neck, adding a few well deserved (according to him) raspberries and nibbles.

'NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STAHAHAHAHAHAP IHIHI GIHIHIVEHEHEHEHE HAHAHAHHA' the setter's reaction was instantaneous. 'You know what I want to hear...' Bokuto whispered too close to his neck, making him let out a girlish squeal.

'IHIHIHI AHAHAHAM THEHEHEH CUHUHUTEHEHEST BOHOHOYEHEHE EHEHEVEHEHER' Akaashi didn't want to take any risks and repeated exactly his lover's words.

Finally, the merciless tickling stopped and the shorter guy was wrapped in a warm hug. However, the moment was interrupted by a knock and a voice from outside.

'Ehmmm... excuse me? I heard yelling, it's everything alright?' oh no, Akaashi thought. It was the food delivery! How much did hear?

He didn't have time to answer his questions because Bokuto was already at the door to take the order and clarify any doubt. 'Thanks for the food' he began 'and don't worry about the screaming, my boyfriend is just too ticklish for his own good'

The way too honest answer left the delivery guy speechless and kind of embarrassed, so he left quickly to avoid the situation. Inside, Akaashi was just as flustered, if not even more. 'You really had to say that, didn't you?' he asked blushing. 'I didn't lie, though' was the ace's answer. 'Now let's eat, I'm starving!!' he added.

The two of them began to eat, but Bokuto didn't know that someone was already plotting revenge.

Luckily for him, said plans went south the moment Akaashi's head touched the pillow when they decided to go to bed and watch a movie. In fact, the setter was hit by all the tiredness of that day and his eyes started to close.

Maybe tomorrow... he thought, referring to his revenge.

Seeing him falling asleep so peacefully, his lover couldn't resist the temptation to place a sweet kiss on his forehead and whisper lovingly 'Sweet dreams Akaashi, I love you so much... even more than volleyball'

Maybe I'll let it slide just this once... was the last thought that crossed the setter's mind before drifting off to dreamland.

「ねてないピエロ」 [Netenai Piero] “Unsleeping Clown”

KANJI: 

端くれに咲いた雑草になんて なりたくないのに

僕は　出遅れちゃったなぁ

本気出せば　ゴボウ抜きできるとか

過剰な自信に　騙されてきたんだよ

  振り向かせたいや　こんな僕だってさ

相も変わらず　その日暮らしでも

  あくびしたんだ　泣いちゃいないから　気づいてよ

アナタに似合わない　凡才だけど

人混みで　ひとり躍起の道化師になって

誰よりも　笑われてみせるから

  頼まれてもいないのに　つつい出しゃばっちゃって

かえって　迷惑かけてきたっけなぁ

そんでもって　誰かに頼るのはニガテなんだ

重たい荷物を引きずってもOh

  すっ転んでばっかりで　ブレイクダンサーみたいかも

ステップ磨いて　自慢できるかな？

  ぐったりしているけど　遊び疲れだから

アナタに心配なぞ　かけないよ

朝が来たら　ぜんぶ夜のせいにできるんだ

毎日が　ステージの幕開けさ

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

  Singin’

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

  罵倒されたって　落ちてもしょうがない

ヒール役だって　買ってみせんだよ

僕の背中見て　笑ってくれて　結婚

それも　一個の栄養に変えてゆく

  ファッション改めてリスタート

分かんない駅を開拓

好奇心　むき出しの目線

西 --> 東 --> 北 --> 南

  全力で　道に迷って

ヤマカンで　失った時間もさ

楽しんでいこ～！？

  あくびしたんだ　泣きべそじゃない　よく見てよ

アナタに似合わない　能天気だけど

人混みで　ひとりぼっちの毎日だってさ

僕なりに　ガンバッてるんだ

  ぐったりしているヒマは　もう無いのに　眠たいから

目覚めの着信とか待っちゃう　バカだよ

アナタへと　まっしぐらの道化師になって

誰よりも笑われてみせるから

端くれで咲いています

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

  Sing It!

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

ENGLISH:

 Though I don’t want to be like the weed that blooms in scrap,

I guess it’s a bit too late for me.

If I become serious, I might even turn to a great burdock

but, I was deceived by over-confidence!

  Even someone like me wants to look back sometimes.

Even if it’s with this never-changing daily life.

  I won’t cry even if I yawn so please notice.

It’s a mediocrity that doesn’t suit you at all but,

I’ll become a clown that stands out alone in this crowd of people.

I’ll show you that I can make you laugh more than anyone else!

  I wasn’t asked to do anything but, I still went and did it.

Maybe I only caused some trouble…

Even so, I’m really bad at being relied on.

I’ll just feel like throwing away all that heavy baggage, oh!

  I keep falling down that I might as well look like a break-dancer.

Maybe if I polish my steps, I can be proud of it?

  I’m super exhausted but I only got tired from playing so

there’s no need for you to worry, you know?

When morning comes, we can all just blame it on the night~

Every day is an opening to a new stage!

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

  Singin’

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

  We can’t help feeling down from all our worries.

We can show that we can win even against all those ‘bad guys’!

Just hearing you laugh as you watch my back is enough.

I’ll consider that as one reward!

  I guess I’ll re-start even with my fashion.

I’ll try to explore a new station I don’t know.

Let’s look at these curiosities straight in the eyes!

West --> East --> South --> North!

  Even if we get lost with all our might,

even if we waste a lot of time guessing,

let’s still enjoy it, okay~!?

  Even if we yawned, it’s not because we want to cry. Look closely~

It’s a carefree (attitude) that doesn’t suit you but,

Even I can do my best while being all alone

in this crowd of people every day!

  I’m super exhausted and I have nothing left to do so I wanna sleep.

Simply waiting for a wake-up call is kinda stupid, you know?

I’ll become a jester at full-speed towards you

and I’ll show you that I can make you laugh more than anyone else!

Even I can bloom in unsightly places!

  Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

  Sing it!

Wow Yeah Wow Yeah

6.5 Effettivamente

I’ve been waiting for this clip ever since 3.4 Argentina (which took place a month ago today btw), but in my soul I’ve actually been waiting for this coming out since forever.

my 💔 poor 💔 heart 💔 broke 💔 seeing Martino watch his friends interact from afar

they’re relaxed and comfortable with each other, their relationship is as close as ever while Marti’s relationship with them is in tatters, he barely speaks to Gio and that’s it

this is even worse than the picture Gio posted on IG on Tuesday, when Martino was supposed to go to Elia’s to prep for the exam and didn’t go

my 💔 poor 💔 heart 💔 breaking 💔 again because, despite Giovanni’s reassurances on Monday, Martino doesn’t believe Elia has forgiven him so he chooses to stay away from him... and let’s not forget Elia sits next to Marti during classes

Elia leaves, Martino finally approaches Giovanni, but he looks like he’s going to his death, look at his face, my poor baby

has he ever been bluer?

deep breaths baby, deep breaths

HE DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING? LEAVING THE FIRST MOVE TO GIO (who doesn’t disappoint thank God)? SO HE COULD HYPOTHETICALLY IGNORE HIM?

JEsus, the awkwardness between them kills me

the seconds of silence between the greeting and Marti asking the first question, Martino licking his lips and swallowing like he’s gathering the courage to say something monumental despite it being a silly, innocent question

THE STILTED CONVERSATION oh God why, I’m hurting

“Ma non penso che ti interessi, no?” (But I don’t think you’re interested, right?) is Martino twisting a knife into his own wound because he’s saying: you don’t want to go out with the radio guys, you don’t want to get involved into something I’m doing (and I like, because we’ve seen he’s putting more effort into it with the Virginia Woolf thing on Wednesday - though it might also be something to keep his mind occupied on something that is not his crumbling relationships), you don’t want to spend time with me

I mean, Marti obviously knows, intellectually, that Gio doesn’t want to go to radio things because of Eva and because it’s just not his thing, but deep inside it’s just another refusal, one which Martino preemptively steels himself for

That “se… se ti va puoi… puoi venire da me” (If you’d like you can come to mine) is said in the same tone Martino has when he tells Filippo he’s seeing a boy in 5.5 Pride and when he asks Sana about homosexuality and religion in 4.3 Evoluzione

“Pizza, mortazza e City-Real” ICONIC

Marti asks Gio to hang out with a half smile (!!!) but Gio remains impassible and Martino’s smile falls

when Giovanni asks about their score, it’s as good as a YES FINALLY, it’s the rebuilding of the bridge between them and Martino smiles fully possibly for the first time in weeks because that’s their game, their ritual, their friendship going back to normal

WHEN THEY LEAVE THEY’RE BOTH SMILING AND TEASING EACH OTHER my heart sings with joy

Marti and Gio who are still laughing and making fun of one another while playing FIFA

(FIFA is a big bonding ritual for the boysquad, it’s the way they settle bets, it’s one of the topics they tease each other about, they play tournaments when they don’t know what to do, they keep long term score of who’s best and it’s something they all love, it’s a place of comfort for them)

(FIFA is a football/soccer game, which is imho significant as the setting Marti picks for his coming out, he’s trying to reinforce the idea that he’s still a guy who loves “boy things” like sports and videogames, despite his sexuality - as well as trying to reinforce that he’s still the same guy who played the previous 47+56 games he and Gio kept score of)

(the fact that Gio hesitates before starting to play FIFA again after Martino tells him he likes boys probably ups the level of panic in Marti’s head, because what if he’s gonna be excluded from something as important for their group and as “masculine” as FIFA now??)

(when Gio starts to play again AND ASKS MARTINO ABOUT NICO AT THE SAME TIME it’s such an important thing for Marti because he finds out can have it all)

I would like to thank not only God but also Jesus and LudoBesse for the closeups of Ludovico Tersigni’s face when he smiles 🙏

Their knees touching just gets to me, for no real reason, and I kinda wish we were able to see if they kept touching for the whole time or if Marti retracted after coming out

EFFFFFFettttttivaaamenteeeeee (make it last longer c’mon, Marti, I know you can)

is it me or does Marti look a tad disappointed when Gio asks him if the person he likes is Emma? maybe it’s just nerves

Marti who keeps stealing glances at Giovanni, checking in constantly

Gio senses Martino is uncomfortable, especially after the “ma non l’hai capito?” “no non si capisce un cazzo” (“don’t you know?” “no, I can’t understand you for shit”) exchange, and cracks the Sana joke to make him relax a bit, you can see he’s trying to keep a straight face long enough to speak without giving himself away (he should learn to deliver jokes from Nico, I mean, he kept a straight face for the whole Maddalena and hypertrichosis thing)

“Non *swallows* non è una ragazza” (It’s not *swallows* it’s not a girl) POOR BABY DEER HE CAN’T EVEN SPEAK  his throat must be so dry, he must be trying to keep breathing normally so hard, he’s probably shaking and THEN HE CLENCHES HIS JAW

once again Marti is steeling himself for the worst

and Gio just goes... slack, is the best way I can think to describe it, for a second. I don’t think it’s surprise? At least not for the gay thing, maybe for the fact that Marti actually confirmed it for him. It may also be relief

it’s just a second, then Gio gathers himself and thinks, looks at Marti who can’t meet his eyes

“Sono io?” (mind, non-Italian fans, it’s not a “Is it me?”, it’s more of a “It’s me?”)

I LIVE FOR MARTINO OVERCOMPENSATING WHEN HE DENIES IT to hide the fact that he did, indeed, crush on Gio for a long time 😘

the smiles. their smiles. Marti is slowly relaxing, Gio is finally understanding what’s going on with him and they feel like THEY’RE FINALLY FRIENDS AGAIN✨

Marti thinks it’s over, the three most important things he can see Gio wanting to know about (why’s Martino hurting, that Marti is gay and that he’s not in love with him) are out there and cleared between them now, and Gio smiled! And had nothing bad to say! Except he won’t play. Uh-oh.

HA, Giovanni Garau, patron saint of best friends, does it again! He’s put together all the little pieces, all the scraps of interaction, all the tiny moments when something he couldn’t quite pinpoint happened and BAM! He gets it, he knows.

Martino’s wry smile and nod

Gio mirroring him and nodding as well, halfway between “Okay, I can see it” and “Dude, well done, I’m actually kind of impressed”

and then Gio comes in like a wrecking ball against toxic masculinity and compliments Marti on his choice of man

Marti who acts like he’s never even noticed whether Nico is attractive or not

Marti looks so embarrassed, he should have been blushing (FE_CESARI UR GOOD BUT WHERE ARE MY BLUSHES ARE YOU A REDHEAD OR NOT????)

I wonder how closely Gio is mirroring the comments Martino usually makes when Gio himself tells him he’s attracted to a girl, maybe even when he told him about Eva? He tries his best to be supportive even though he doesn’t really understand, the exact same way Marti has always been supportive of him despite not understanding girls’ appeal

“Che fate, state insieme, uscite, COME STAI?” (What’s happening there, are you togethere, are you dating, how are you?) COME STAI GUYS most supportive best friend ever

“È un po’ strano lui” (He’s kind of weird) is such a weird way to put it? I mean, sure, you could say Nico acted weird, but not for the reasons Martino gives Gio, imo; he’s “weird” for changing schools in his last year, for his granddad’s puppets, for asking Marti to ditch a party he himself had asked him to and for dragging him to an abandoned pool of all places; Marti instead describes his as weird for appearing undecided, for seemingly stringing him along

is that a hint of disgust, almost, I detect in Martino’s voice while he quotes Niccolò’s text? Is he that fed up?

Gio makes a sound at that, that I can’t decide if it’s just an encouragement for Marti to go on, or if it’s an “okay, got it” while he plans Niccolò’s demise for daring to string Martino along

still, Giovanni sides with Martino but doesn’t tell his best friend he’s better off without Nico or make any threats of retribution or promises to fight for Marti’s honour or smth, because he’s a supportive pal who will trashtalk Marti’s s.o. when he acts like a dick but will still support Marti’s feelings for him and believes in Martio’s ability to take care of himself

I have Questions about Luchino’s voice message, specifically: who was this message sent to?

not Gio directly, because Luca asks “Voi c’avete”, second person plural

did he send it to the group with all four guys? but Marti’s phone didn’t ring, so either he’s got the group conversation muted (💔) or Luca sent it somewhere else

is there a group with only Gio, Elia and Luca in it to whom the latter could have sent the voice message? again, my 💔 heart 💔 breaks 💔

anyways, Marti is the best bro because despite not talking to Luca for two weeks he still offers up his notes

Gio taking advantage of Martino leaving without pausing the game to score on him lol

Gio asks Martino what he’s found while Marti is looking at the flipbook thingy... how much do you want to bet that by the time Marti answers nothing with that big smile on his face, Gio has seen the thing, what Marti was doing with it and the way he was smiling and he’s put everything together without Marti saying anything? that’s why he doesn’t press, as much as in recognition of the fact that Marti already opened up to him so much today

I 100% love the way both Marti and Gio start their sentences when they’re saying something important with “Comunque” (Anyways) as if it’s just a continuation from one long conversation between them, or as if they’re just stating for the record something that is obvious

Marti was definitely not expecting at all Gio to actively tell him he’s better than whoever Niccolò’s girlfriend is on principle, which in my experience is a very common best friend thing to say, and that hurts

Gio grabbing Marti by the neck and ruffling his hair is such a friend/brother thing to do, it’s a fond and exasperated thing in the way only siblings’ touches can be, halfway between an attempt to strangle you and a caress

This clip was so beautiful, the friendship between Giovanni and Martino is so beautiful, their ship is so beautiful! I’m so happy and so thankful for LudoBesse 🙏

the GazettE Live Tour 18-19 THE NINTH / PHASE #04 -99.999- @ Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Toronto 2019.05.09.

You’re all invited to my funeral.

(This entire report is very self-indulgent, please excuse me. It was my first time having front row and it was right in front of Reita, AND it was seated. I’m still not over it (I don’t think I’ll ever be over it tbh).)

Reita smiled at me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 

I’m sorry I saw like 98% Reita and 2% Reita when he came over 😭😭😭😭 (edit: 2% RUKI OOPS)

I could see him SO well omg 😭 he plays a lot kneeling down on one knee and OMG he sweats so much sgdsjjskjg it’s running off him in rivers 

 At the end of sono koe he holds his bass tenderly and sways gently, then slowly pulls it into a sweet embrace and places super soft kisses on it 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

He kept making puppeteer/ghost hands at us and sticking out his tongue omg omg omg and whenever he came close he’d lean over the edge and staaaare into our souls 

He and Ruki stood together in the middle 3-4 times but I don’t remember what songs or any details bc askdhsdjkfstg Reitaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭😭

Can we also..... oritatami is already fun but the feeling of doing it with your fav less than 1m away doing it with you???? 😭 Lives will never be the same, will they.... (no, they won’t)

Reita sings along a lot and screams SHINEEEE (die!) and other things I couldn’t hear

At the end of undying Kai kept the drums going all the way until the song was done. First time I heard this twist.

At the end of the first set Reita kissed his bass, then carefully placed it on the ground in front of him and knelt down behind it, bowing down before leaving stage

At the beginning of Inside Beast Reita did this weird little... foot step/tap dance??? 😂 (at the point of archiving this report I realise he’s been doing this occasionally all the way since 2013 but I just forgot lol)

I could see Aoi having the time of his life out of the corner of my eye, he was moving A LOT and seemed really happy

Ruki was dancing a lot and being his usual happy self (also he’s so tiny??? whenever he came in front of Reida and I he seemed about the size of an 8yr old lol)

He managed to say Toronto but Kai said Tront 😂

Reida: Ruki came in front of us a lot 😭😭😭

Reida: I forgot which song but Uruha came over to Aoi on shimote and Aoi playfully kicked his foot up like "no stay away"

Reida: When they came out for encore Reita and Aoi were being cute again. I think Aoi slapped Reita's shoulder LOL

Reida: AOI WAS LAST FOR MEET AND GREET 💖 He was sooo happy with his gift it was so cute!!! He was hugging it then held out his hand again to shake mine a second time

I’m so glad Toronto turned out to be this amazing NOT ONLY FOR ME but the band seemed to have such a good time 😭 It wasn’t sold out and we were worried at first but the turnout was pretty good! You could see some gaps in the very back but the rest looked full when we stood!

M&G:

OH MY FJDJDSGKKFESGFS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

NINA MADE HIM SAY MY NAME AND HE TRIED HIS BEST TO CATCH MY EYE AND KILL ME WITH HIS DEEPEST VOICE

AND I STUTTERED SO BAD AND FORGOT EVERYTHING I WANTED TO SAY AND BLURTED OUT DAISUKI AND HE LAUGHED AND SAID THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

AND THEN AOI WENT ○○良い名前👌 ( ○○ is a nice name 👌) HASJGJDSJIDFFAAHJ AND REITA LAUGHED

Before this, after Reita said my name, I stuttered thank you and he mumbled something I didn’t catch and I accidentally said “huh?” And he leaned closer repeating HAH?? about to laugh and I leaned back bc INTIMIDATED and he leaned closer again repeating HAH??

I stg I couldn’t meet his eyes but I saw him trying SO HARD and he was grinning SO SMUGLY (apparently my friend said “she’s a big fan and flew in from Norway” so I guess that made him feel smug)

HE’S SO INTIMIDATING BUT ALSO SO SOFT???? I LOVE HIM 😭😭😭😭😭

I... spent all of Uruha/Kai/Ruki stressing about Reita so I just said thank you for everything, I’m sorry I’m so nervous in Japanese but aaa Uruha is SO pretty and gentle 😭 Kai was SHINING he smiled so bright ✨ Special shoutout to Uruha for being the sweetest thing. He saw how nervous I was and made me feel welcome and appreciated with his “it’s ok, it’s ok!” and gentle hand squeeze 😭

Ruki was chuckling bc after I said thank you/sorry I caught Nina saying “the girl behind me is called ○○ and she’s a big fan, please say her name!” so I leaned over and hit her shoulder 😭 thank you BUT I DIED

Carolyn: I asked Uruha what the most fun part of NYC was and he said the super market ☠️☠️☠️ DONE

Carolyn: I asked which one he liked and he just said 近くの (the closest one)

This girl arm wrestled 3/5 members, what a story omg

AND REIDA gifted Reita this amazing birthday card.

Reida: for you! Reita: thank you! Reida: no, look!! *points at his face on the envelope* Reita: *literally doubled over leaning on the table dying* <-- I saw this happening and it was so cute. Aoi’s reaction to her gift was also absolutely amazing, his face lit up like a child on christmas and he hugged it to his chest lol.

Overheard outside the venue after the show: well that turned into a standing live real fast (<-- Do people expect the crowd to actually sit....?? It’s a metal concert..... Then again I’ve never been to a seated concert outside of Japan before haha)

The danger now is HOW WILL I WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER???? I...... could still......... book Europe...... (<-- I went and booked Europe ☠️)

Bonus (not live related):

Well that was the most embarrassing immigration interview I’ve ever had

Officer (super serious): you’re staying 4 days? Me: yes O: and what will you be doing? M: visiting a friend and seeing a band O: what band? M: the GazettE O: and your friend, how did you meet? M: through the band, online... O: have you met this friend before or are you meeting them for the first time? M (obviously uncomfortable): we’ve met before, in Japan.... seeing the band.... O (barely keeping a straight face): and you were in the US before this? M: yes O: how long? M: 3 days O: and what were you doing there? M: ..........seeing the band..... (Neighbouring officer snorts loudly) O (chuckling): well have a great time

THEN THE NEXT DAY:

Reida: HAHAHAHAHA Officer: what's your purpose here? Me: to see a Japanese band's concert Officer: GazettE or something like that? Me: Yes HAHAH Officer: you weren't the first one here 😂 I'M STILL LAUGHING

「REFRAIN」

KANJI:

  自転車のペダルを蹴って　風を纏わせた

車輪の音あリフレインしてる

  カバンの中には勇気と　好奇心を詰めた

見慣れた街が　もう遠くに見える

  長い坂道を登る　息を切らしながら

張り裂けそうなハート　停車の理由なんていらない

  何万回　君は笑った？　何千回　君は挫けた？

錆び付いたギアが俺に囁きかけた

あと何回泣けばいいかな？　あと何回漕げば着くかな？

タイヤはすり減ってゆく

前に進むたびに　俺を揺らしながら

  信号が赤に変われば　休憩の合図

深呼吸して景色楽しもう

  暗いトンネルの中で　ライト味方につけて

怯えながら目指した　光はあと少しで見える

  限界を決めたその時　後悔の言葉　生まれた

ブレーキを掛ける心　解き放したら

ハンドルを握るこの手で　方角を自由に決めた

行き止まり　進入禁止

失敗もあるけど　リスタートしてきた

  口笛を奏でたら　味気ないこの道も

特別な風景に　変わるだろう？

  何万回　君は笑った？　何千回　君は挫けた？

錆び付いたギアが俺に囁きかけた

あと何回泣けばいいかな？　あと何回漕げば着くかな？

宛のない旅は続くぜ

ハンドルを握るこの手で　方角を自由に決めた

行き止まり　進入禁止

失敗もあるけど　リスタートしてきた

車輪の音　聴きながら

ENGLISH:

Let’s ease on the bike’s pedal for a bit and feel the wind.

The sound of the wheels will become our refrain.

  I’ve put inside my bag courage and curiosity.

That street I’m familiar with is already so far away.

  Let’s climb a long uphill slope, our breaths hitching along the way.

Even the feeling of our hearts about to burst is not enough reason to stop~

  How many times have you laughed? How many times have you felt disheartened?

I’ll whisper to your gear that’s becoming rusty.

How many more times should we cry? How many more times must we continue to pedal?

The tires are slowly wearing out,

shaking me as I continue to move forward on this journey.

  When the stoplight has turned red, it’s a sign that we should stop.

Let’s take a break and enjoy the scenery!

  When we enter a dark tunnel, the light will be our friend.

I can see the light we aim for faintly as I tremble with fear a little.

  When you decide what your limit is, that’s the day that words of regret will be born.

How about setting a break a little and let your heart feel free?

With this hand gripping the handle, I’ll decide freely where to go~

It’s a dead-end, no entry.

Well, we encounter failure but we can always restart.

  If we whistle along the way down this wearisome road,

it’ll change into favourable winds, don’t you think?

  How many times have you laughed? How many times have you felt disheartened?

I’ll whisper to your gear that’s becoming rusty.

How many times must we cry? How many more times must we continue to pedal?

Let’s continue on this journey with no destination!

With this hand gripping the handle, I’ll decide freely where to go~

It’s a dead-end, no entry.

Well, we encounter failure but we can always restart.

While we listen to the sounds of the tires~

Anon said:I love your art and the style, it’s all so cute and it might give me a heart attack

He c k let’s hope not! Thank you so so much!!! ;^;

Anon said:hey, can ya do more tokage, pls

Sure, I mean to draw more 1B in the future anyway~

Anon said:nori is soo adorable!! I love your art and seromina so much and seeing them combined makes me mega happy!!! I gotta ask though, how are sero and mina as parents and how do they handle nori’s quirk?

They’re disasters as parents but they try their best and are always having fun - Nori adores them! In their house not a minutes goes by without someone laughing, they’re all super loud and cheerful always~ neither of them has any problem dealing with Nori’s quirk, Sero has spent a whole lifetime learning how to deal with sticky stuff and tape and glue so he knows all the tricks to save clothes and furniture from accidental quirk usage and so on, while Mina’s own quirk makes it easy to counter any glue that might end on her - the main thing actually is that the quirk itself was a surprise! Since Nori looks a lot like Mina, both she and Sero had expected her to have acid like Mina so when she started gluing herself around in places and walking along walls and stuff it was a surprise (they had expected to have to deal with the house being constantly half destroyed by acid though, so glue is nothing compared to that haha)

Anon said:Heyy I saw your twitter account and was wondering if you could link some of those “fics about them boys sharing a bed..“ I’ve been following you for a while now and absolutely love your work (: I hope you don’t mind lol. I need more kiribaku in my life gahaha ❤️ thanks !!

I didn’t really bookmark any and most were old things I had read in the past and spent time rereading lately, but the newest one I read is this one - honestly though at this point 99% of the fics set in the dorms have them sharing a bed, you just need to open ao3 and scroll down less than a page to find stuff lol

Anon said:If you’re not an Adventure Time fan this ask will make no sense to you (so skip it), but when I saw your drawing of Katsuki with a guitar, I immediately thought he was singing some edgy Marceline song, like the teasing-aggressive “I wanna bury you in the ground / I wanna bury you with my sound” (which he actually says at some point I think XD) or the romantic and melancholic “Slow Dance with You” and Eijirou M-E-L-T-S.

Not an AT fan, but the concept is adorable so I’m keeping the ask anyway

Anon said:Do you think you might draw more of your fantasy AU children while you’re playing with you’re new pencil tool? It would be neat if you did! Regardless, I’m grateful for anything you draw!

Yup! Can’t promise when it’ll happen but I love the fantasy AU and I love childhood friends AU, so the chances of me going back on it are pretty high!

Anon said:Are you going to draw Mako and Taiyou again? They are so wonderful.

YAH that’s definitely in the near future plans! Thank you for liking them!!

Anon said:I just…I love all your art. It’s so amazing you’re awesome

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! ;^;

Anon said:Stavo scorrendo il tuo blog e ho notato che hai risposto ad una domanda in italiano? Ho seriamente pensato fossi inglese tutto questo tempo! Amo seriamente i tuoi disegni, i tuoi oc sono meravigliosi e non vedo l'ora di scoprire più di loro.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH grazie infinite omfg ;^; specialmente per i miei oc, è sempre incredibile per me sapere che alla gente piacciono abbastanza da volerli vedere di più ;^;

Anon said:Hewwo! I’m a huge fan of your artwork!! I was wondering if you have any time could you draw some more of those dorm room scenarios?

Anon I’m sorry but I need you to be more specific, which dorm room scenarios are you talking about? Most of my comics at this point are set in the dorms hahaha

Anon said:I just noticed that on every artwork you sign “do not repost” and I hate it.I don’t hate that you do it, but the fact you NEED to do it. Artists all over the Internet say to not repost their art but people still do it…I hope this will stop someday Sorry for my english btw

Yeah well, I guess as long as people keep on following and giving notes to reposters that’s not really gonna change is it orz

Anon said:You should draw Present Mic x Aizawa *awkward finger guns*

Hell I really should, shouldn’t I

Anon said:my god im gay for your kiribaku like they’re so good aibdjsbsknwnx and i love the interactions between the bakusquad ahh keep being awesome :)

HECK THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Anon said:Honestly, this might be an odd question I don’t know, but would you ever consider putting your art together in a art book to sell? Cause to be honest, there’s not a piece by you that I don’t adore and I’ve seen some artist do things like that before so I didn’t know if that was something you’d consider. Maybe like all your BNHA pieces or something?

It’s not like I never considered it? It’s more like I dunno how worth all the work to figure out how to make it/where to print it and then to actually make it would be compared to the interest people would have in buying something they can have for free on my blog? It’s just doodles after all haha

Anon said:Would you be willing to draw a little lavi (dgm) doodle for me? Anything tiny, I just love him and your art!!!

I’m not doing requests right now, sorry, but soon enough the new chapter is coming out so I might draw him around then!!! I always fall in a serious dgm mood around the time of the chapter release haha

Anon said:More abuse of the ask function: 1- I love your art and have been for months. On top of that, it often feels cathartic, which is amazing to me. 2- I love how balanced you can make KiriBaku. You even manage to make me appreciate that overrated attention hogger that is Bakugou, you can handle him so much better than the author, because your character dynamics make so much more sense!! 3- I always, ALWAYS find myself reading through all your tags. They’re awesome. Thank you for everything.//Avevo finito lo spazio nell'ask precedente, so I’d only like to add that aside from cutie-smoochy (“It’s not about whether you break” and “I don’t need you” might be my favorite, and for what’s worth, I remember writing something exactly like the latter in the past), you also make mu burst into laughter. Like, the comic where Katsuki is about to out Eijirou on his red hair, I am still rolling. Kiri’s giant mouth is seriously hysterical XD

Thank you for the compliments!! I’m glad I can make you like a character and a relationship you’re not much of a fan of in the actual manga? ? ? Bakugou’s actually one of my favorite characters ever though so………. maybe……….don’t offend him and the way Horikoshi writes him while talking to me………….orz

Anon said:I am starved for Bakukamikiri stuff in this fandom……..But you got some good shit.

I’m!!! happy to be able to help there!!!! haha

Anon said:They mama Mitsuki art you drew 👏💯💖☺️💕👌 I love your art so much

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:Yessssss you have Twitter! It is boring at the beginning but then you’ll love it! I can’t wait to see you here and there! Now all my Bakushima favorite artist have one I can die of happiness!!

I’m!!!!!!!!!! Still trying to figure it out but!!!!!!!! For now it’s not that bad? Just!!! Very different from tumblr so I’ll need to get used to it first!!!!

Anon said:Omg do u shade jirous hair like its a heartbeat line? Dhdisbdisb thats so fuckibg good

THANK she actually has it in canon too, tho, so I can’t take credit for this!!!

Anon said:Im crying on how you draw kirishima’s soft hair

S O B I’m glad you like it!! ;^;

Anon said:Can I ask what your stance is on bakugo’s mom being abusive and sorry if you’ve answered this before

I love Mitsuki with my whole heart and while I don’t think she’s perfect I do think she’s loving and caring and trying her best and always looking out for what’s best for Bakugou 👍 no abuse anywhere, for me

Anon said:OMG I LOVE SEROMINA LOVE CHILD NORI

Thank you for liking her???? heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:I wish I could use your art for my phone’s background ;^; You’re amazing! I love youuuuuuuuuu

No one’s stopping you from doing that, anon!!! Unless you don’t have a phone that allows you backgrounds, in which case ;-; thank you for liking my stuff that much tho!!

Anon said:Hey! I followed you way back when your main output was haikyuu!! comics and once you started putting out more bnha, i had to unf because i had no idea who everyone was rip. but now that ive finally had the chance to watch it i’m glad to come back and see how much you’ve improved!

HECK THANK YOU???? I’m glad you decided to come back????? oh man that’s super flattering !!!

Anon said:Yolo bakusquad bakubowl ?

I don’t really like the whole concept of [character]bowl, sorry!

Anon said:I absolutely adore your art style😍 every time I see your art it makes me happy:)

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:Can you draw Hawks and Tokoyami together? You are rlly creative and amazing! So I believe you will produce sth. awesome!!!! (If you don’t want to draw Hawks, could you draw a Tokoyami fusion?)

I can draw that! I’m just waiting to know how tall Hawks is compared to him before doing that 👍 be patient pls relative heights are something I’m stupidly fussy about 

Anon said:Burn the whole world to ashes for you? R U serius?! You always killing me dude. I ascended to the heaven of soft things. I N C R E D I B L E. Im sorry for the break down, i was without tumblr 2 months and the firts thing i do is go to your profile. Keep doing this plis im trully love it 😭💖

mAN I’m so glad you liked that one this much, drawing the boys being unreasonably soft with each other is my fav thing to do tbh !!!

Anon said:Omg I can totally imagine Nori and bakushima’s daughter being friends!!!

THEY ARE !!!!!!!

Anon said:Your seromina is amazing!!! I love that ship I feel like it is so underrated! Thank you for this blessed image!! 😭

No prob!! thank you for liking it!!!!!!! I’ve been in such a seromina mood lately, I might actually draw more soon enough!!

Anon said:Omg imagine a Tetsuwase love child. Something tells me they’d be adorable and one rather angry child, considering who their fathers are

I can see them as being quiet and grumpy………. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Anon said:Hey just wanted to tell you I love your art. It’s so soft and beautiful. My dad doesn’t ship any characters from the series, but he does like the series and he thinks your art and style are really pleasing. We were talking about how nicely you shade and that the style is well developed and lovely to look at. Thanks for making such great art that makes me smile and giving me and my dad yet another thing to bond over.

YO THAT’S SUCH A COOL THING TO HEAR!!!! Thank you to both you and your dad for liking my stuff????? h e c k !!!!!

Anon said:Thanks to you I started reading haikyuu.

I hope you’re enjoying it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
