#this was longer than I thought it’d be

Random thought time

So, I was reading something about the Ghost marriage event from TWST and I remembered a theory I came up with awhile ago

Warning: There will be a spoiler mentioned, so if you haven't watched the event, check that out first.

During the event, one of Eliza’s ghost servant was talking about how the princess was supposed to get married, but then the neighboring kingdom attacked.

This started to get me thinking, ”What happened to Eliza’s groom? Who was he?”

Assuming that this groom was a prince, and this was a marriage to unite kingdoms, you would think he would employ his military to protect his fiancé and her people. But he didn’t.

What if Eliza’s fiancé was the prince of the neighboring kingdom that attacked?

Think about it. No one would suspect the betrayal, and Eliza’s military defense would be down during the wedding because of the festivities. The engagement to Eliza could have been a plan to overtake her kingdom.

And Eliza would have never thought her own love would stab her in the back.

Of course, Eliza would remember this kind if incident. But she might have been so heartbroken by this betrayal that she could have forced herself to forget the traumatic incident. Her people, not wanting her to remember something so painful, decided not to ever mention it.

Then I started thinking that Eliza might not have remembered her fiancé, but subconsciously wanted to find a true love.

Imagine her looking through books and other types of media for a ”perfect prince,” one that would love her unconditionally. Years of searching for the one to release her and the other ghost from their limbo.

Regardless if this theory is true or not, it did give me a different view of the ghost bride. Now I want to write some kind of fic about this idea. If you guys are interested in reading that kind of thing, let me know.

Glad its on now! Chocolate coins for bungo taiga!

Chocolate Coins: Your character is now rich and spoiled.

Taiga sat down at his computer and let out a sigh, his food wasn’t here and his stream was starting in 5 minutes, he didn’t really need to stream, but well, it was something to keep him busy… that and just jerking off all day. “Whatever, It’s not like it’s hard to get some meat.” He quickly went about getting his stream set up, even if he was going to be interrupted during it. The dog boy had made an interesting choice for a game, getting real on the noise with his recent developments, it was some bullshit weight gain game, though none of the content was explicitly against tos. After a bit of his stream he heard the door bell ring. “Finally, I’ve been sitting here starving for like 10 minutes.” The obese boy got out of his chair and began waddling to the door, revealing to chat that he was in fact only wearing his top, although his flabby ass and belly hid his boy meat very well, in fact his gain had only made it easier for him to be mistaken as a girl. When he returned he had multiple bags. “Sorry guys they put it in front of the screen so I had to get on my hands and knees, I just wish it’d been for you daddy~” he teased his chat a bit before minimizing the game and setting out the food. He’d ordered 4 large big Mac meals, a whole cheesecake 2 bowls of spaghetti and 3 hot dogs. “You know, eating all this food would be easier if I had someone forcing their meat they’ve prepared down my throat, but I guess I’ll just make do.” He bent down as best he could and pulled out a 2 liter of cola from the mini fridge he’d recently put near his desk. He began with the burgers, taking large and sloppy bites out of it, getting condiments all over his white fur, his tongue coming out to clean it, after that he went onto the fries, taking handfuls and shoving them into his mouth, barely chewing and then swallowing them. Next was the spaghetti, which while not as easy to eat as the burger or the hot dogs, was still relatively easy for him, again getting sauce all over his mouth, as well as down his chest and his gut. Once he finished with that he unscrewed the top of the bottle and sat breathing heavily until he lifted it to his lips and began to chug about half of it, then replacing the cap and moaning a bit before moving onto the most phallic item he’d acquired. He went about taking them out of their buns, which he wadded up and ate quickly, leaving the greasy and condiment covered tubes left alone, which he quickly went about swallowing whole, showing off his lack of a gag reflex. He let out a belch and then placed his hands on the sides of his distended gut, shaking it and moaning sensually, inserting a finger into his belly button. “Hey I think it’s deep enough for some of your guys’ dicks to fit, anyone wanna come and check?” He laughed a bit and then leaned forward, his tail wagging a bit as he looked at the cheesecake, he felt his little cock getting hard as he thought about how stuffed he was going to be. Electing to just go in on it and forgo the use of utensils he began to attack it with reckless abandon, making moans, grunt and the occasional belch, until eventually he finished the cake and moved onto the last of his soda. When he had finished his meal he leaned back and patted his stuffed gut, it making a sound akin to slapping a balloon full of wet sand. He sat there and played with his belly for a while until he slipped into a food coma on stream.

every time someone says cars 3 is the worst cars movie another angel punches me in the stomach and pulls my hair.

this is probably just my intense special interest in the origins of nascar, but that movie feels like such a nice send-off for the main “trilogy”, and yes people can have their own opinions but i NEED to talk about how much this movie means to me

first of all, a major misconception is that lightning quit racing - he DIDNT! this is proven by both the end of the movie (where he says hes obviously going to keep racing) and cars on the road where, in the final episode, cruz and lightning wish each other “goodbye” and say they’ll see each other on the racetrack. he was only cruz’s crew chief for that one season, presumably healing from the trauma of the crash (because lets be real his ass did not mentally recover from that in FOUR MONTHS) and also waiting for a permanent crew chief to take his place.

second.. the sheer amount of detail put into that movie is INSANE. the racing center being shaped like grandstands at a track? fireball beach being both a direct reference to the daytona beach race course and also “fireball roberts”, a 1950s racer (he was actually the reason that firesuits were mandated in the sport), we meet a bunch of 1950s racers as well and just augh.. so good. also, the detail of thomasville being in north carolina is brilliant - N.C is the “racing state”, and thomasville speedway is based off of north wilkesboro, a track that was opened in 1949, and last used in 1996 (aside from the series of races in 2010), and it fell into disrepair. (fun fact, north wilkesboro is reopening in 2024 for the nascar all star race!! they fixed my bbg)

third. cars three brings so much more lore than the first movie did. yes, we knew doc raced in the 50s when the sport was getting its start, but in cars 3? they brought in characters based off of real 1950s racers (doc is based off of herb thomas, smokey is smokey yunick, lou is louise smith, junior is junior johnson, river is wendell scott, and leroy hemming is tim flock) (another reference in the movie is “jocko flockos party supplies” as macks disguise - jocko flocko was tim flocks pet monkey that was the FIRST and only co-driver in the history of the sport. he won a race with his monkey in the car with him :) )

as i was saying, the lore we learn is insane. we learn that lou and river had to fight for their place in the sport, which is similar to what both louise smith and wendell scott experienced in the 50s, they show us accurately how racing worked back then too - they didnt have fancy pits, they had a fence and a pit member with a sign that would tell them to come in the next lap for service. all of these cars are gen 1 nascar, which means that they were strictly stock - they had much more intense pit sessions than any of the other “built for racing” generations have ever needed. i recall watching a race wherein smokey yunick had to change the radiator of one of his racers vehicles mid-race due to a crash.

this isnt everything, but seriously for an animated movie about talking cars, they discuss grief and hardships and handle them so well its insane. i know cruz isnt everyones cup of tea, but (in reference to the flip scene at the end of the movie) watching cruz get shoved into the sport must’ve been insane for lou to watch. she saw herself in that girl. it wasnt some movie about lightning giving up, it was him sharing the torch with another kid who lost their way just like he had.

also i dont cry at movies but i literally bawl my fucking eyes out at the letters scene every time. its PATHETIC (its not im literally tearing up just thinking about it)

no alarms and no surprises, please.

[lost-soul-in-time]

This was rock bottom. Murdock once was a golden figure throughout his county, the son of the lord and one of the best knights in the little cluster of villages his family ruled over. Now, he was climbing the walls of a castle just so he could keep eating. One of the windows happened to be only a few meters high, leading into one of the kitchens. Across his back was everything he owned, the pack strapped around his chest and looped over his arms as he climbed. He was sure he was quiet, creeping past the doors until he started to find trinkets to sell. A few gold flowers snapped from picture frames, tassels of silk cut from curtains and rugs, and jewels plucked from their set place in delicate furniture.

Guards walk by in shifts, counted out carefully by Murdock as he ducks into empty quarters each time he nears the countdown. Finding a few sizeable gems made him lose count, walking out of the room and straight into the path of two guards. Only two feet from the window, he’s pushed into the rough stone of the wall. One of them rips the straps off of him, seizing his bag while the other drags him down the hallway. Someone is awake.

@murdersinthemaking

Evenings were the most stressful part of his day.

Whether he’s fabricating further plans or tearing off a vital bodily function when answers aren’t given to him (or simply to blow off steam), his personnel are always forewarned on secluding themselves and keeping away from the villainous creature they blindly served. So when one of his watchman interrupt the sounds of agonized wails he’d been pulling from his latest victim — a pompous man swimming in wealth who had no issue attempting to send a dog after his scent to gain glory from killing him — he’s already not pleased.

Oliver doesn’t take the time to clean off the splatters of crimson on the side of his face, only slipping on his gloves and wool coat before being lead towards the informed intruder.

His face is always devoid of emotion, but it doesn’t take a brilliant mind to sense his displeasure in his steps nor his annoyance in his gaze.

A harsh blow from a foot hitting the back of Murdock’s knee sends him to the floor, held down and forced to kneel as he enters the room. A hand rests over the sword in its sheathe on his hip, and once he’s close enough, a hand grabs the exiled knight firmly by the jaw, forced to stare up at him.

“This is what you waste my time with?” He scolds at the two men, voice cold and barely sparing a glance at them before addressing Murdock for the first time. “State your purpose here.” Oliver collectedly commands, leaving little to no room for protest.

[fandom-reblog-central]

Fandom (dpxdc) Thought 2.5:

Context: Halfa!Jason Todd, ghosts communicate through emotions, liminals can do it to a lesser extent

Jason unknowingly keeps trying to push emotions to his family, not realizing he’s trying to communicate. With his family’s awkward outward reactions combined with the lack of response to his core, he feels isolated. Even thought it’s an accident on both ends, it has an effect on him.

To make it a bit worse, the batfam is liminal with all the death in the family and Lazarus exposure. They accidentally reject the emotional conversation from Jason’s core, so neither party knows why Jason is so on edge, but they don’t push for answers.

Danny (bad reveal, good reveal, literally Just Vibing in Gotham—whatever works) hears Damian’s core humming or trying to trill/chirp, and of course he has to help the sick liminal/baby-halfa core. With a LOT of bonding, Danny gets Damian to drink some healthy ectoplasm, and he feels a lot better. He even brings Jason over, knowing the connection to the Pit was stronger in his older brother and wanting to extend an olive branch after the… everything.

Once Jason starts feeling better and Frostbite is brought into the conversation, Damian realizes he can’t hide this from Bruce forever. And, with how many people in his family—hell, his contact list—had been exposed to the Lazarus pit, or gotten caught up in time shenanigans, or had been killed, it was best everyone knew. With Danny’s only request being “say I’m a meta instead of a ghost,” Damian goes to his father’s study.

(Forgive the ooc/awkwardness I don’t normally write fanfic lmao)

Damian entered Bruce’s study. “Father. I have something to inform you of. We have made a terrible mistake with Jason.”

Bruce’s train of thought pauses at hearing his youngest call Jason “Jason” instead of “Todd.” He looks up from his WE paperwork. “What is it, chum? Is he okay? Are you okay?”

“We are both well, Father. It is…” He grimaced and visibly tensed. “You have to promise to not be angry with me.”

Bruce raised an eyebrow at hearing his youngest say such a “childish” phrase. “I will do my best. I’ll at least let you finish talking first.”

He knew this was the right thing to say when Damian relaxed slightly. Therapy was a wonder.

“Um…”

Oh. Oh no. Damian Al-Ghul-Wayne was not one for uncertainty—especially not in a conversation he started.

“Go on, lad, I’m listening,” Bruce said in as gentle a tone as he could (without getting too patronizing for his proud little Robin).

“I met a meta of a ghostly nature. He assessed that there was Lazarus Water in my body, and when he replaced it—“

“He what.”

“You said you’d let me finish.”

Bruce pulled out a notepad, jotting down bullet points to return to.

[Pit in Damian?? REPLACED?? Unknown ghost meta]

“Once he replaced it with the healthy alternative, I found…” He swallowed. “I found that I could more easily accept and show love. My time in the League played a part, of course. However, the Lazarus Pit had an effect on me as well, latching onto my desire to be worthy of a place here. I essentially have a rudimentary organ that runs on and communicates via emotion. Jason does as well, and his is stronger than mine. We have unknowingly been rejecting this more emotional form of communication, making him feel unaccepted and misunderstood.”

[emotional organ??? Accidental rejection? Possible to learn emotion communication?]

Damian shifted his weight under his father’s intense and worried Interrogation Glare™️. “Now that we know the problem, and are attempting to rectify it, we feel much better. Due to everyone around us being exposed to death, the Pit, or time travel, Jason, the meta, and myself thought it best if everyone was made aware. Our meta friend has a doctor who has specialized in this organ and the culture surrounding it for decades. He can apparently better help us manage our health alongside a regular physician.”

[meta doctor. Contact… everyone]

Bruce set his pen down and didn’t move for a few moments. “Are you finished?”

Damian nodded. “Are you angry?”

Bruce let out a long breath, closing his eyes. “I can never tell. Fear and rage feel a lot alike when it comes to protecting my family and my city. You’ve gone against a lot of my training, which displeases me, but I still love you, and I always will. We’ll see what your punishment is when I get more details. I don’t want to punish you for good outcomes, but the methods are important, especially in our work and at your age—“

“You can stop now, Father. I understand now what Drake means when he says he doesn’t know how to respond to the sincerity therapy has given you. I’ll gather the family for a debrief.”

Bruce opened his eyes to see his youngest wincing a little at the emotional vulnerability, but something else caught his attention.

His son’s green eyes faded to blue.

[hersterical]

Buffy’s, Angel’s, Spike’s and Faith’s realizing of and coming to terms with their bisexuality can be split into two categories: “eh, that makes sense” and “W H A T”

“eh, that makes sense”

-Spike: Even before becoming a vampire he considered himself an “appreciator of beauty in all its forms”. After becoming a vampire he and Angelus had a bit of a “that’s just how bros are with each other” kind of relationship even though that is definitely not how bros are with each other. This goes on for about ten years (a pretty short amount of time by vampire standards) before someone finally explains to him that no, not everyone is like this. Spike immediately accepts this seeing as he’s not like most people in every other way so why not when it comes to relationships? He doesn’t even consider thinking about labels until he’s trying to explain it to the Scoobys or the Fang Gang or someone and somebody else provides him with the label. He figures that it fits well enough and the term seems to help other people be less confused around the subject so he just goes along with it. Spike finds ways to “casually” drop his newfound label into conversation whenever he can until a little after everyone becomes sick of it. He’s always a little disappointed in people’s lack of reactions. The one person who he didn’t expect a reaction from, Angel, had the biggest reaction. Like, Angel, did you just forget about 75 years of our friendship? How could you possibly be surprised by this?

-Faith: She’s always known but never had a word for it. Faith’s always had celebrity crushes on women just the same as men and day dreamed about girls just the same as about boys. Around the third or fourth time she kisses a girl she begins referring to herself as “half-gay” in her head. Out loud she says things like “I’m not gay but…” then proceeds to say one of the gayest things to ever be said. Other than that…we’ve all seen how she is with Buffy. You get it. At first she does purposefully keep it a secret due to her crippling fear of rejection. It’s only when she’s in prison she finally learns the term “bisexual” and subconsciously accepts that label into her view of herself. After season 7 of Buffy she’s no longer keeping her sexuality a secret but also doesn’t go out of her way to tell people and just assumes that people would immediately be able to spot the differences in her behavior. She grossly underestimates her absolute lack of subtly when she was younger. Every once in a while somebody is shocked to discover that Faith is bi and Faith is shocked to discover that they didn’t already know. Somehow Xander was the first one to find out. This phenomenon only holds true to those who knew her from before she was arrested, everyone else just kind of knows. The only person she ever sits down and has a conversation about her sexuality with is Angel. And eventually Buffy once Buffy begins going through her crisis. That conversation is somehow even more awkward than the one she had with Angel.

“W H A T”

Angel: He never suspected a thing before he was a vampire. After he was turned, Angelus immediately accepted and was willing to act on these newfound desires. Once he got his soul back Angel figured his attraction to men probably came from his lack of soul. Probably. Something about that never seemed to quite fit though. He tossed this into his rapidly growing pile of existential crisis’ and only ever thought about it when he needed a break from his all-consuming guilt. But then if Angel ever spent more than five minutes thinking about it he would become confused and go back to the simpler matter of punishing himself. It’s only when he begins to rejoin society and do a bunch of research on prophecies, demons, and so on in order to help Buffy that he learns that the lack of soul makes one more likely to act on homosexual desires, but the sexuality and the body is a package deal, with or without the soul. This gives him a lot to think about…for another time because Buffy! Then Angel Investigations, Cordy, his son, the end of the world, etc. (he totally isn’t avoiding the issue, shut up) At some point Spike says or does something that Angel finds incredibly attractive, causing Angel to groan loudly and exclaim “Really!? Him!?” He quickly has to explain himself to Spike who laughs and is incredulous that Angel didn’t already know given their history. Angel never tells anyone unless it comes up naturally in conversation, usually including a lot of mumbling and shuffling of feet. Faith teases him ruthlessly and they eventually develop several inside jokes based on their shared sexuality and differing ways of handling it. Angel doesn’t come out to Buffy until Buffy comes out to him. This is an even more awkward conversation than the one between Buffy and Faith. Lorne always knew Angel was bi but knew he wasn’t ready to realize it/wanted to see how long it would take this over 200 year old idiot to figure it out.

Buffy: Oh Buffy. She always knew girls were pretty. Everyone thinks about kissing them sometimes, right? Wanting to kiss a girl and thinking she’s pretty doesn’t make you gay. Besides, Buffy is definitely attracted to men and their manly masculinity and all that. Women are just nice to look at sometimes. This goes on until well after season 7 when she and Willow are having a movie night. Buffy says something about how soft the lead actress’s lips look and Willow says “Yeah, I know right? Hey wait a second, I do know.” This leads to a very long and eye opening conversation. Buffy finally asserts that she’s not gay because she likes guys. Willow responds “Hello, does bisexuality ring any bells? Maybe the names Faith and Spike?” No it doesn’t ring any bells and what do Faith and Spike have to do with anything? It turns out that Buffy really didn’t know it was possible to like more than just one gender, hadn’t spoken to Spike since he discovered his new favorite word, and hadn’t thought anything of the occasional woman that Faith brings back home or her aggressive flirting. “I just figured they were friends and the flirting was just Faith being Faith. Plus you know how weird the whole situation with me, Spike, and Angel is.” Buffy isn’t sold on the idea that she isn’t straight so she spends months thinking about it very deeply while staring at women to figure out if she’s attracted to them or not. Faith finally snaps one day after twenty minutes of Buffy making unbroken eye contact with the side of her face and demands to know what’s going on. Buffy doesn’t explain anything and instead asks her weirdly specific and personal questions about Faith’s love life. Faith leaves that conversation even more confused than entering it. Buffy finally comes to Willow and says that this uncertainty is killing her, so Willow does what any best friend would do and takes Buffy to a gay bar. While there Buffy has a brief make out session with a woman before making a quick exit to take time to accept that she is bi. For the next few weeks Buffy is even more trapped in her head than in the time leading up to this realization before asking Willow to help her gather all the members of the inner circle. She has an announcement to make. Everyone takes it as well as can be expected. Giles says something about loving and supporting her, Dawn says something littler-sisterly, and Xander is a little weird but much more mature than she expected. Other than welcoming her to “the club” Faith is uncharacteristically quiet. The next time they team up with the Fang Gang, Buffy finds a moment to have a private word with Angel where they come out to each other. Now Faith, Buffy, Spike, and the rest of Angel Investigations know about Angel and that’s really everyone Angel wants to know and is neutral to everyone else knowing. Later, Spike drops the fact that he’s bi into the conversation and Buffy responds with “same”. They share an understanding smile and that’s that. From then on Buffy gets a nervous, but happy smile whenever she gets to come out to someone new.

Ik I went on a wild tag ramble abt it already (screenshots on that post for context of where I’m coming from and my tags below)

but stillllll thinking abt the preview for next weeks tmmn ep. woke up immediately thinking abt it. And I have more to add on.

from what I can see of the outfit it’s….like. WILDLY different from 1. Our modern alien’s outfits (which, ok I have thoughts on those vs ancient aliens clothes but assumedly it’s been thousands of years so time and a different environment and struggling to survive changes fashion. Whatever it’s fine I’ll save that for another post) in the original series the ancient aliens clothes were very very Greco-roman!!!! But this mystery person has a very princess/royalty silhouette that doesn’t necessarily fit that description. The colors are suitable for what we see in those screenshots (very light colors, dark colors or brights used as accents) but for all I know, new changed what all of the ancient aliens wore!!! It’s really hard to speculate if it’s comparably fancy when there’s no other ancient ppl in the single shot we got. Also if it turns out she is royalty like I suspect based on how elaborate the clothing looks, will we get insights into how the aliens society functions?? Or used to? (How would an assumedly important princess figure get left behind if that’s what’s happening??)

As for Why Lettuce is the one seeing this stuff…she’s both the most sensitive in the group with her compassionate attitude towards the aliens AND her association with water (mew aqua-> magic sometimes crystalline water) mew aqua feels like it has a will and is actively choosing to let her see.

And!! The possibility it does tie to the little mermaid story based on the title!!!!! Which is my favorite fairytale…(and very sad/bittersweet!!!) Can it be next week already 😭

[daisysmalia]

And still it all links back to the 6x01 Kitchen scene.

‘What are you offering?’

Natalia offered Buck a different way to cope with his death and view himself in the aftermath. She offered what Buck thought he needed, compared to the way his friends and family were trying to help. And then when push came to shove, she lost the spark because all she was interested in was this ‘death experience’ that Buck was offering.

Where as Marisol offered Eddie exactly what he needed, on a literal level, and the man who has started to feel lonely and want romance took it as a sign (despite the fact he doesn’t believe in them).

Buck and Eddie throughout the season have offered each other both things too through domesticity, taking care of each other and even the dates they both tried and failed in this ep.

‘He has so many excellent options right under his nose.’ ‘Like you.’ ‘It’s like he’s choosing not to see them.’

Hmmm. I wonder who else both have exactly what they’re looking for under their noses. They’re both the answers to each others questions and yet they’re both ignoring this because they don’t see yet that the other is truly an option because ultimately they are both bad at dating and romance. (Sorry Buck.) They’re both their right in front of each other but they just keep missing on another. (Buck dates Natalia but when it breaks down Eddie now thinks he’s found his spark with Marisol). And this is further emphasised by Bobby’s discussion with Eddie which he completely misunderstood because Bobby literally described his and Bucks relationship (and JCC wrote the breakdown ep where Buck sat with Eddie so I feel it was intentional).

‘Three tries to get it right.’

- Abby, Taylor, Natalia all saying ‘Take care’ as they leave.

- Shanon, Ana and now Marisol, people Eddie has met and tried to stay with because of the chemistry. People he stayed with or met due to Christopher (the whole reason he was at the hardware store was for Chris’ project). Once again not truly following his own heart. But Eddie walked away from Marisol, and sure she’s back next ep so he could ask her out or but we don’t know yet.

Because ‘Time.’

It’s been a theme all season for Eddie quite overtly since this scene but I’d say underneath it’s also been one for Buck- Time running out when he died and in the coma world. Time left on the pregnancy he was a surrogate for (and the time he had to get the donation in to begin with). Time spent trying to date someone and the universe showing him no (and from what Oliver said I feel this time Buck will listen to the universe and not accept someone who doesn’t meet him where he is).

And time that is going to put things into perspective as a bridge collapses away whilst they’re on it and causes everything to stop for the whole firefam.

And ofc ‘I don’t want to pick the wrong couch again.’

Because it’s just getting louder and louder every ep. The loneliness of Buck on his uncomfortable couch from his mother whilst there’s a romance montage. The empty space on Eddie’s Couch at the start with him and Chris begging for Buck to come fall asleep on it again. The couch has been focal in at least five eps this season and it’s all heading into the finale to tie up somethings subtly and overtly.

If the season ends with a Buckley-Diaz couch scene (and I’m like pretty convinced at this point) then they’re Schrödinger’s Canon to me because the couch being connected to this little family is a signal that they’re going there (probably next season). Where they can build up this relationship between two men who have deeply impacted the others life, who need each other and support each other and both want and deserve this love- they’re just having trouble staying on the right path to find it.

Am I really considering going on a road trip interstate just so I can get a bike in the specific colour I want

Miserable in high school club 💖💖💖😎 we just have so much in common I swear. The southern queer experience of it all.... 😭💖

FRRRR!! It really is crazy how much we have in common?? It’s a very unique experience huh 😔 like thankfully, all of my friends from high school were LGBT+ so I lucked out in that regard (and I hope you did too!)—but unfortunately none of us really talk like that anymore.

Which is fine, ppl grow and change. That was like eight years ago. People change so much in that time, even year to year.

But also what’s so funny is adulthood is shaping up to be much better for me too! Bad in some ways bc I still don’t know wtf I’m doing. But does anybody VSJBSKS I mean I’m so much happier now day to day and love being alive more! I’m so happy that it seems the same for you!!!

This has been haunting me since forever. How tf does Kourin’s hair work.

Like yes I know she’s not the only person in cfv with Anime Hair but at least Aichi’s lil swoopy bang thing and Kai’s hairstyle and even Chrono’s fucking spiral could happen with enough hairspray and patience but how does Kourin’s ponytail hold her hair up??? The ponytail only seems to be connected to the hair in the loop, by all logic it should fall off the top of her head but it doesn’t how does it work 😭
