Something something about how the age difference between Kevin and Jean makes it so much better.

Like Kevin is this older teenager, who is so confident and good at exy. He's going to be the best in the sport. He's six feet tall with the world at his back and stars in his eyes. And Jean is just a kid. It's only a two year difference or something, but that's practically a lifetime when you're fifteen and angry and barely holding on.

Kevin is seventeen and he's looking at Jean, even though he shouldn't be because Jean is nothing - the son of a family that didn't matter, now little more than a toy to Moriyama whims. And Kevin is everything. The son of the very sport they're sacrificing their lives to.

And here is Jean, voice still scratchy with puberty. Maybe he's only an annoyance to Kevin at first, Riko's new plaything, a useless third addition to the perfect court that has only ever needed two. But then Jean becomes something much worse. He becomes someone that Kevin cares about in a place where caring gets you killed. He becomes someone that Kevin has failed to protect over and over again.

Then Kevin leaves and Jean stays. They meet again a year (but more like a lifetime) later. Kevin isn't that arrogant teenager anymore - he's human and he drinks too much and his hands shake and there is no number on his face. And Jean isn't a kid anymore, hasn't been for a long time, but Kevin's never noticed before. Jean is nineteen, he hates Kevin just as much as he loves him, and he no longer looks at him like he's holding up the sky.

So where do they go now?

The worst part about the bug-keeping hobby is that every now and then (read: all the time) you have to deal with uninvited bugs

Someone get me a flamethrower so I can fucking annihilate this gnat that’s been flying around my face while I’ve been trying to draw

Every time I share Before Deluca snips, or post chapters, there's a voice in my head informing me that someone who actually speaks these languages is going to find it.

And they are going to be so disappointed in me.

If you are one of these people; I am sorry. I am doing my best. I promise to find native speakers to smooth things out before it's published.

Irrational fears this irrational fears that, what about irrational adorations

For example, I have an irrational love of fungus gnats

[eggmeralda]

dreamt that this was the imdb cast page for fifi and the flowertots and then started laughing so hard that I woke up

[fungus-gnats]

hi guys look ! i am helpful sometimes and not just a common household pest :p

[deer-trees]

I know cinnamon is good for keeping fungus and fungus gnats away from soil so there is no reason to feel silly for using it that way but I do feel a little deranged shaking it over my plants like they're a little fall drink. get seasoned fuckers smell delicious you little shits.

Oh man...I do so love looking over my bookshelves and happening upon yet another example of my delusions of grandeur. 👀

Like, girl, when exactly were you planning on teaching yourself Sanskrit???? 🤣
