Tumblr media
is it possible for someone to become so fixated on one thing that it completely consumes their thoughts and mind?
to answer your question, yes!
it is possible for a being to become so obsessed with one thing that it dominates their entire mind.
for an example; look at your boyfriend, seungmin.
he could never go a day without looking at your plumped and soft breasts. he constantly fights his intrusive thoughts from wanting to grope and do all sorts of things to your chest.
the shirts you wear, being tight and fitting, perfectly complimenting your breasts. wearing little tank tops with your cute bra underneath to give your chest a bit more of a pop. finally, to top it all off, he loves when you’re braless. he loves watching your nipples harden in the cold air when you’re wearing his t-shirt with only a pair of panties, which takes us to now!
-
a waterfall of droll seeps out of seungmin’s mouth as he is currently laying your chest while the both of you are spending quality time watching a series of dramas on netflix ♥︎.
“baby! i can’t believe this bitch got away with doing such things to others..” you were heavily invested in what was happening on screen. your boyfriend was totally paying attention to the show >_>.
seungmin stayed silent with his head pillowed on your chest. “i know right baby? that was crazy. fuck that snake ass bitch.” he said pretending to act all shocked, like he cared.
“one more episode? then we’ll crash. i’m sleepy.” you grabbed the remote, yawning softly, playing the next episode.
seungmin picked himself up from you, turning his head to yours, “baby?” he called out.
you turn your head to him in response, “yes seungie?” you chirped with a smile, sitting up.
you were just so perfect.
his cock grows hard by just looking at you, what did he do to deserve such beauty.
“u-um.. this may be unrelated to the drama we’re watching .. you don’t have to respond back… but ummm… fuck this is embarrassing to ask about.. nevermind!”
“no! say it! i'm invested. i'm all ears baby!” you whine jumping on top of him, trying to make him spit out his words.
fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!! she’s literally on top of me. i can feel her fucking pussy on thigh, what am i gonna do now?!
“b-baby!! it’s nothing!” he chuckled nervously.
you pouted, sitting yourself down on his lap, rubbing his shoulders, “please.. i know it’s something, don’t hide from me..”
seungmin sighed in defeat. you were just too cute! he just wanted to rip off that oversized t-shirt off you, tear those panties apart, and then ravage you entirely.
“you don’t have to answer this but… have you ever thought of me doing your tits..?” he mumbled quietly, gulping nervously, avoiding eye contact with you.
“oh!” you sat up on his lap, giggling soon after. “maybe yes, maybe not..”
seungmin furrowed his eyebrows, already impatient with you. “it’s either a yes or a no [ y/n ]!!” he moaned out.
“okay fine, maybe once…– wait, is this you asking me to let you fuck my tits..?” you tilted your head slightly.
yes. yes you, this is him asking permission to give him a tit-fuck or whatever you call it (;^ω^)!
“yeah totally..!! it’s fine if you don’t wanna do it..” he smiled apprehensively.
you just smiled back, getting up from his lap, taking your shirt off, letting your breasts spill out gracefully, only wearing a pair of cute plain panties underneath.
was this it? it’s all happening. right now! god. im the luckiest man to ever roam earth.
you slowly got down on your knees and crawled close to seungmin’s lap. “why are you so bewildered on what i’m doing seungie..? you asked for it, you silly goose.” you giggled innocently.
it took no time for seungmin to take his raging hard cock out of his pants. his little friend looked angry. it had a pinkish redish color to it, along with his tip containing his sticky precum, he was ready.
you look up at your lover with soft doe eyes, taking your breasts, slowly sliding them between his cock.
you got straight to work, semi-confident on what you were doing. you slowly move your breasts slowly up and down his length. soft groans and grunts escape seungmin’s lips as he lays his head back against the couch.
nothing but soft whimpers came out of you, this was a new feeling to you. your cunt was soaked by now, you wanted more.
your mouth watered at the sight of your breasts swallowing your lover's cock. you just wanted to take him in your mouth and then you’ll be satisfied.
“s-seungie… can i put it in my mouth?” you slurred out, accompanying your speech with breathy notes.
seungmin looked back down at you, “you don’t even have to ask baby…” he hissed out.
you right away left a small kitten lick around his tip, soon stuffing his tip into your warm mouth whilst continuing the slow but yet steady motion of your stroking patterns.
“oh my fucking god baby.. the things you to do to me.. you look so precious right now.” he yelped out, gripping onto the fabric of the couch.
seungmin couldn’t believe it, it was all a dream come true. after years of knowing you, months of dating, it had finally happened.
you move yourself faster, desperately in need of his warm cum. you pull your mouth off of his tip with a loud pop, giggling at the sound of it.
“i-im close.. just keep on going.. you’re doing so good..” he whimpered softly, thrusting his cock up and down between your breasts, wanting more friction.
you were already out of breath, panties soaked to the point where it’s not wearable anymore. you couldn’t comprehend such vile action.
“cum for me seungie.. please..~!” you were ready for what was coming, just a couple more strokes and thrusts.
“f-fuck fuck fuck fuck..!!” curses flew out of his mouth as his warm cum lands all over your face and tits. he just created a beautiful masterpiece. you lick some of his liquids off your lips, “..wow.. that was something..” you giggled naively.
let’s just say that this became a regular recurrent activity you both do on a weekly if not daily basis ♡.

If you're taking requests, could you do Lyney fluff? With the reader as traveler and they aren't exactly dating but there's mutual attraction, but no one confessed yet. Basically Lyney has the day off and the traveler is still new to Fontaine so they finish mapping it out and he tags along. Like a vague telling of doing commissions, underwater exploration even, and going back to the city at the end of the day all filled with romantic tension( like butterflies n stuff). The entire thing is just very general fluff, so like some specific moments in the day where they were like this close 🤏 from just leaning in. And it ends with the two about to confess but Lynette shows up out of nowhere and is like "am I interrupting?".
Exploring (feelings)
Pairing: Lyney x Traveler!reader
Reader type: Any
Content: Fluff
Word Count: 712
Triggers: none
Extra: My requests are always open unless I’ve said otherwise :), I love this idea sm, shorter than I would like but it is 11:35 pm rn, reader’s kinda in their Adrein Agreste era, not proofread
Tumblr media
“So after we get done with this location where do we go next?
Lyney voiced the question as you continued to fill out your growing map of Fontaine. You and Paimon had opted to go and explore Fontaine after the duration of trails you had.
Lyney had spotted you two and had opted to tag along, since it was his day off. You didn’t seem to mind as you agreed to his offer, both of you going on a long trip around the main areas of Fontaine.
You had completed your commissions with the help of Lyney. Surprisingly enough he seemed to be skilled with a bow and arrow, along with some flames from his hat.
Getting some teleport waypoints, to which you had to explain to Lyney what they were, you both had cleared half of the map. All that was left was to get one last underwater waypoint.
Apparently Lyney was just as skilled as his brother in swimming because he made sure to spin and do tricks for you when you both ventured underwater the first time.
He had picked a bouquet of underwater flowers for you, and you had to hide your face in them to cover up your blush. Paimon had caught the gentle pink dusting your cheeks, however, before you could hide it.
You were honestly surprised she hadn’t blabbered about your on-growing crush about Lyney yet. He was being cheekier than usual with his teases and gestures. He even went as far as to go get a waypoint for you so you wouldn’t have to “stress your pretty legs for such a silly thing”.
Getting the waypoint underwater, you decided that it was enough progress for today and walked tiredly back into the somewhat city with Lyney.
“Say why don’t I treat you to dinner? My treat after you did so much work today”, Lyney spoke gently as he flipped around a card or two in his hands.
“That would be great!” You jumped a little at Paimon’s quick reply. Giving her a slight glare you glanced at Lyney.
“Yeah, if you want to.”
Tucking away the card to who-know-where Lyney grabbed your hand and started to lead you to what you presumed would be the cafe.
After walking for a bit more, Lyney guided you to an outdoor table with an umbrella, “Here sit.” He pulled back a chair for you, “I’ll go order.”
You stretched as you go comfortable in the chair, eyes trailing to watch Lyney order. Paimon fortunately seemed too invested in the smell of food to notice your staring.
As soon as Lyney turned to go sit with you, your gaze snapped to the table. Seemingly trying to play it off you were interrupted by Lyney’s voice.
“Are you okay? If you’re not feeling well I can get it for takeout.”
You shook your head, “I’m good, just spaced out.”
You gave him a small smile and he returned it as he sat down. A somewhat comfortable silence surpassed over the two of you as you waited on the food.
You didn’t even need to tell Lyney what to order you because he had already memorized it for some reason. Maybe he just had go memory skills. It wasn’t long before your food arrived and you all started to eat.
Paimon excused herself to leave, most likely to go rest on a bench from all of the food she ate. Leaving just you and Lyney.
“Y’know watching you today was better than one of my own performances if I do say so myself.”
“Oh, thanks”, your cheeks turned slightly red again.
“If..if you have time maybe we could do that again sometime?”
You glanced up at Lyney. Was he proposing a date? Before you could reply someone cleared their throat from beside you.
You jumped as Lyney sighed in somewhat irritation.
“Hello Lynette”, Lyney emphasized her name as he stared at the monotonous girl.
“Am I interrupting something? Sorry, the crew needs you back at the theater, a prop broke.”
Another sigh from Lyney, “Right, right. We’ll talk later, hm?”
You nodded as you met Lyney’s slightly pink-purple gaze. He gave you a curt tip of his hat before he left with Lynette. You yourself sighed at the current change of things.
Standing up, a card slipped from your seat. You picked it up and it revealed that it was the queen of hearts.
Huh, so he did mean a date.

Tumblr media
So, it's October -- crazy, right? About three months ago, I got waaay too emotionally invested in Din Djarin and baby Grogu and the Razor Crest and, well, here we are. This blog served as a way to unleash the infectious brainrot of Pedro back into the ecosystem, hopefully finding another victim. What I got back, is community. I've been in fandom for over ten years and I can honestly say I've never seen a fandom that is so kind, so supportive, so eager to share and talk and engage with others.
So, in the three months since this blog was created, you lovely people continue to show up and everyday I am gobsmacked at the growth and support. I genuinely don't know how I would have survived these last few months had I not met some of you, so as the (shoddily made) gif says: thank you.
I've just now wrapped up my 100 Followers Event Challenge (y'all sent me so many fantastic prompts I had SO much fun!). If you're interested, they're on my masterlist or you can find them all here on this post. I'm taking an itty bitty break from writing for just a bit (might be getting a new job too) but when i come back, i can't wait to share what comes next for all our pedro blorbos!)
Now that I'm a bit more settled and have had the chance to meet some of these fantastic creators, I'd love to share them out with you:
My Favorite Places to Make PPCU Friends (Discord Servers):
Pedro Pascal Cinematic Universe (I got invited by @jupiter-soups)
Space Sisters - give @psychedelic-ink a shout if you'd like to join!
My Favorite Compilations for Fics:
Favourite Fanfic Stories (managed by @morallyinept)
Sanctuary Database (managed by @pascalsanctuary)
Spreadsheet Digest (managed by @wannab-urs)
(these folks are also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet so please do yourself a favor and go follow them)
My Favorite Creators:
@perotovar is a next level gifmaker
@trulybetty has some of the best designs i've ever seen
@daddy-dins-girl has some of the best pedro character alignment charts -- it makes me laugh every time!
@iamdesibell has my entire heart and soul with all her fanart
@saradika keeps us fed with gorgeous moodboards and dividers
Fandom lives and dies by its community so please reblog, tag, or comment if you like a piece of fanart, fanfic, or anything else someone has created that vibes with you! If you'd like to rec something or someone, please let me know -- as you can see, i love holding up other writers and creators and i always wanna hear about your fave!
My ask box is always open for requests, questions, comments, or if you wanna just bitch about how your stupid old car failed you again, I wanna hear about that too 🤍thank you all for accepting me and my silly little stories!

Timeline of me becoming smitten with Kuaidul
(Basically just me recounting my thought process during episodes 74-77 in more detail of why and where this Kuaidul obsession of mine came from. At the time, I had fallen behind on Go Rush and episode 76 was the latest episode, with episode 77 in the process of being subtitled.)
Episode 74:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, the person behind the darkness cards is a new character? Not just some Sevens fanservice guy? Hell yeah! I'm down for that! Please have absolutely no connection to Yuga or Otes!
Episode 75:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...fuck, he's talking about a 'road' just like Yuga and Otes. Oh no... Please be original, new guy who looks a bit like Yudias. It's gonna take me a while to learn your name.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...wow, he uh... he has a really cool voice... in that... villainous yet attractive way that I like... His name is Kuaidul right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my gosh! His plan is so over the top and insane! This is so cool! Oh my god, am I actually invested in Go Rush's plot again?! Kuaidul! You're a miracle worker!
Episode 76:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pfffft! "I'm so excited to see rush duels!" Is that seriously your motive?! That's... kind of amazing. What a dork. He reminds me of how Ai was when he was a villain.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HE'S THE REASON THE WHOLE SHOW HAPPENED?! WHA- ...wow. So he's super silly and entertaining AND actually competent and intimidating?! That's everything I love in a villain! I... think I have a new favourite Go Rush character. Damn, maybe I am starting to get a crush. He does have a cute dorky smile and attractive voice... I dunno, it's a little soon to tell for sure...
My Wait Between 76 and 77:
While messaging my partner the next day: ...wait wasn't Kuaidul's motivation explained? Wasn't it... Him feeling like a pawn of the Creator or something? ...hold up... Is he sympathetic or am I going crazy?
Rewatching episode 75:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...So he feels like he can't control anything and wants to create a world where he can control everything....
His entire motivation is just an unhealthy version of my writing coping mechanism?
......I think I'm in love.
Episode 77:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.......did he just ask his dad if he prefers a card game to him?! What the hell?! Is he gonna be another character with parental trauma? Because... That's also relatable...
Shit, do they actually want me to sympathize with him? I thought I was reaching earlier but... they might actually want me to sympathise with him! ...I love that in a villain too-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh... aw :( I didn't expect him to cry... Surely he has to be redeemed with a backstory THIS sad right? There's no way they won't, not after all the other villain redemptions in this series. I think... I actually want that for Kuaidul though...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
P-please don't cry... Oh god. You look so soft and vulnerable for a villain... I wanna give you a hug. I'm so sorry. You deserve better than what that guy did to you. Please be redeemed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay... guess he's gonna be a villain for a while longer. That's cool and all, he's a great villain and it would probably be a waste to redeem him after only a few episodes but... Man, I just... Hope he'll be okay...
....Yeah okay fine, this is definitely a crush.

Here is your prompt to get you to speak your lovesong-related thoughts aloud! [and also a notice that I may fall asleep very soon and not see them until later if you answer this tonight ehe]
@cookies-over-yonder also asked me abt my lovesong thoughts so I'm just gonna put it all here lmao
ah ok SO !! the first thing you need to know about me is that Terry/Nick/Sparrow is literally everything to me . I have never once mentioned them or drawn them unless you count me having drawn fanart for every 2 person pairing within this throuple lmao - so if this turns into polycule thoughts I'm sorry (I am not) anyways <3 Nick and sparrow ! methinks they are one of the more healthy relationships within the many kiddad ships , but ah . that's not saying much seeing as . the kiddads are . like that . anyways , my hc for how they got together is kinda that Terry set them up in the way that Terry is just the person the majority of the kiddads tell all their shit to , so obv both Nick and sparrow told terry all about their crushes on each other and the entire time terry just sits there like uh huh . oh you don't think he likes you back ? hm . okay . that's a thought . but both of the other two are too invested in lamenting abt their crushes that they absolutely do not sense anything weird about Terry's very obvious and deadpan responses . meanwhile both of them have crushes on Terry 200% and have absolutely talked to each other about how attractive Terry is so both of them assume the other *just* likes Terry and therefore they have no chance . bcs wow I like both of them , but what are even the chances that he likes both of us too ??? bcs they are all so silly stupid and are too busy crushing on not one but *two* of their best friends to notice that literally so is everyone . anyways . Nick and Sparrow . transfem sparrow my beloved , and transmasc Nick is canon (to ME) so t4t for the win <3 anyways , I think when Terry finally gets fed up with being the middle man between the two of them he just brings both of them over by texting both of them that the other has smthin to tell them . bcs it'd be silly . followed immediately by them both then being like wait Terry come back . now we both have smthin to tell *you* . anyways . Nick and Sparrow are just very soft w each other (until they're not if ya know what I mean) but I think Nick when hes w sparrow just becomes the most romantic guy to ever exist bcs hes realized that sparrow loves all those silly little romantic things like Nick gets her flowers all the time bcs he can see her face light up as she goes to find a vase . he sees her blush and grin fondly at him when he holds the door open for her . he loves the way she pulls him into her lap and kisses his face when he gets her a new dress to match the button up he just got . just cute shit like that . also I think (obv) that sparrow is v big on showing love via physical affection , esp with Nick , partly bcs he's her partner and partly just because of how flustered it makes him , no matter how small the touch . she could just casually grab his hand while they're walking somewhere and Nick will just immediately look up at her like 😳 anyways running out of rail on this extended train of thought and don't know what to keep talking abt so that's all folks until someone asks me abt them again sndnndmd

Headless!
What an incredibly well-crafted series!
I’m gonna need to rewatch the final episode, but I can’t do that tonight or I won’t be able to sleep, because it was scarier than the other episodes. But in the meantime here are some random thoughts @scribblinaway and I were discussing earlier today. SPOILERS BELOW! don’t read until you’ve watched the whole series!
First of all: I did Not see that coming.
I had entirely assumed that the death certificate was a clue that her dad planned to kill her. I thought maybe Dr. Crayon had created the death certificate ahead of time but the murder attempt had failed, and Mayor Van Tassel would eventually try again. I absolutely did not imagine that it was real. 
I may have to watch the whole series to fully understand what happened. But, in retrospect, it (i.e., Kat... being what she ended up being) was kind of foreshadowed in a way? When Ichabod first met her, she very clearly signalled that she was Not Interested. But after talking to him at her dad’s party, she... was a little more interested, and it wasn’t entirely clear why. So I guess she just realised he could be useful, in that they could put him to sleep for a year to keep her alive--because it’s clear at the end that she absolutely doesn’t like him, and he also definitely Knows Too Much. 
Also: I was pretty shocked that our ukelele-strumming friend Diedrich Knickerbocker died. And this did not really tie in with the main plotline very much, so one might argue that it was superfluous. But I guess that’s how you show that shit is about to get Real. If they’re willing to kill off the Bard, then anything could happen! Nothing is sacred! (Also, it was worth it for the fight between the two bards.)
Matilda was clearly deeply shocked by Kat killing the new (evil) bard. Also, I think she had gotten really invested in helping the Headless Horseman. Now, knowing that Headless was actually a woman, and that she’d been killed by a fellow witch... clearly she had a change of heart and chose to reunite Henrietta with her head, rather than (putting Ichabod to sleep in order to use his life force to) keep her best friend “alive”.
I just love how they made Kat seem like her role in the narrative was basically just as the love interest, but then she turned out to be something much darker. Shipwrecked really did a great job of taking a bunch of tropes and upending them.
The very first image of the first episode was of a Black man getting, apparently, killed. But in the end, it turns out he’s just asleep (granted, his name hinted at that) and he ends up becoming the mayor who will help put Sleepy Hollow back to rights.
We started off assuming Ichabod and Kat were endgame, as they did seem to connect in some way, but then it was the unlikely pair Brom and Matilda who became The Ship, and in fact, Kat was undead and basically evil.
The whole heist episode was one hilarious parody of the genre. But then the final standoff between Judy and Baltus is kind of a callback to it, only this time the woman outsmarts the man. 
Brom and his Babes. I mean. Such bros, such frat dude types. But largely without the toxic masculinity. Brom really makes the effort to respect women (albeit with a bit of a lapse during an episode of jealousy), and once he finds himself accidentally married, he clearly does try to be a good husband.
I am 100% going to buy the soundtrack. I love the theme music.
And ...yeah, so many things that seemed like throwaway jokes turned out to be important later. So well-written, so silly, and so surprising! And the finale was such a satisfying ending. Great work, Shipwrecked!

God am I obsessed with the Wrong Origin drabble you made
Everyone else knows things they should not. Meanwhile, Lae’zel and Astarion are just good people now against their will
And yeah it’s silly but it’s also showing just how much Tav impacts the story. When they’re not there, there is a whole that needs to be filled. It can be the other Origins or someone like Halsin to an extent, but who deciphered Astarion’s scars? Who taught Gale that his pursuit of Mystra was so toxic? Who sought out Wyll on the shore to keep him company? Who listened to Shadowheart’s discoveries of the world around her? Who was the Good Cop to Lae’zel’s Bad Cop? Tav is the main character, they can’t just be gone
And now we’ve taken it a step further. They’re not just gone, they used to exist and now they don’t. There is a footprint, a hole, a noticeable absence that nobody can pinpoint! Who is it?! Who introduced Karlach to Dammon?! Who stopped Wyll from violating his morals?!
And the question remains: how do we get that person back?
Nooooo it was just a silly little drabble don’t read too deep into it—
But honestly? It was so easy to blame Wyll.
His good-doer attitude must have been rubbing off via tadpole magic, that must be why Astarion went out of his way to edit and compliment the little Tiefling boy’s hand-written story about him. Young Mirkon was a stupid child, for sure, but he had talent with eyeing valuables and spinning a narrative. All of those children did, Astarion’s undead heart swelled thinking of all the mischief they would get into in the city. He was glad he invested in their future prospects.
Wait— What the Hells was he thinking?! He was the great vampire spawn Astarion! He shouldn’t be getting emotional over some random kids, he should be focusing on getting this tadpole out of his head! He needed to distance himself from Wyll, that goody two-shoes Warlock was making him act a fool in the worst way possible.
The wine was dry and sour, but everyone was too busy celebrating their victory against the goblins to pay attention. Or maybe the bottle Astarion has was just a bad batch. It’d happened before. He had noticed Wyll had snuck off before the festivities began, most likely not wanting the refugees to see his new devilish look. Astarion felt a little bit of pity for him, but also found himself admiring how he bravely stood up to Mizora to protect Karlach. If Astarion focused, he could almost imagine someone doing the same for him…
Another preposterous thought. The tadpoles were really messing with him now. He needed to focus on enjoying the party and maybe finding someone to curl up with for the night. Halsin was certainly his type and a glimmer in the elf’s eye told Astarion that he was as experienced as he looked. Yet, Halsin also looked like the type to linger too long after a nightly escapade. Astarion didn’t do clingy. Lae’zel was eager, but too eager. Best to leave her in pursuit of Wyll like she had mentioned earlier. Shadowheart? No, definitely not. Gale was promising, but with the magic bomb in his chest? Probably not the safest option. And Karlach wasn’t even an option with that Infernal Engine in her chest. So who did that leave? Astarion felt himself hoping someone would come find him at his tent and proposition him, but who?
In the end, Astarion spent the night by himself, contemplating his place in the universe and wondering why fate had set him on this path.
He laid himself down in his tent and stared at the stars through a small opening in the fabric. He could only see a few through the pinhole, but they looked beautiful. Beautiful, what a profound word that was. Just outside his tent, there were drunk tieflings and snoozing bards and tadpole-ridden idiots that Astarion would have never agreed to team up with in the first place if he had the choice, but here he was. Staring at the same sky as the rest of them.
He didn’t need to sleep, and it was still odd to rest the entire night, but he did close his eyes and allow himself to meditate. He felt the tingle of the sun peak through his tent and opened his eyes, feeling somehow more refreshed than he’d ever felt in damn near two hundred years.
Astarion stretched not unlike a cat when he crawled out of his tent and made his way down to the waterside to wash himself. As he peeled off his night shirt, he felt the fabric of his small clothes rub against the raised skin of his scars. That damned contract that had been carved into his back. Just one day, he would like to go swimming without worrying about the others seeing the Infernal words and asking pestering questions about his past.
The vampire spun around in shock, immortal eyes darting around to see where Wyll must be hiding in the bushes. Or maybe Karlach? She would know of such things, right? But the tadpole wasn’t churning in his mind, so how was this possible? Astarion reached a hand behind himself and ran his fingertips over the scars he could touch and as he did, words appeared in his mind.
Mephistopheles. Profound Ascension. Sacrifice. Freedom. Diabolical lethality. Raphael. Cazador. And one more name that sat on the tip of his tongue but refused to make itself known.
And then it all came rushing back. Like a tidal wave, images of Baldur’s Gate, Moonrise Towers, an Elder Brain, gods of death and goddesses of night all vying for the souls of a select few, Orin the Bhaalspawn, Gortash the Usurper, Netherese magic and mortal beings trying to become more than their birthright. His skull screamed from the visions and memories and the voice of the Dream Visitor, the one he now recognized as the false face of the Emperor, was the only saving grace he could find in the chaos.
“And now you too are awake. Find them. Find the others and free them as you have been freed.”
Why did this bullshit always happen to him?

serious about akademi (the actual emotional investment i'm putting into my yansim rewrite)
what i want people to understand about my rewrite is that it's NOT just another case of someone improving the shabby aspects of yandere simulator. no hate to anyone who does that, you all have great ideas, but mine is just not the same.
and i realize that makes me sound like i'm being "quirky" and "different" but i swear it's not that. my rewrite is an entirely different genre to yansim. it takes the original setting and characters and puts them in a different situation. that's how i'm rewriting it.
it's a silly slice of life comedy, sure. but this isn't just mindless humour and shenanigans. i put the characters through real struggles, real things i've been through. as i write this story, i find myself reflecting on my own life more and more. i reflect on myself, i project it onto the characters, i reflect more, i project more, and it keeps going.
without realizing it, i've put myself into a lot of the characters. people like gaku and horuda and toga and ayano especially. i point those four out specifically, but it's everyone. everyone has a little part of me in them, everyone goes through a struggle i've gone through before.
and i know i'm not the only person who's struggled. i know others have been through the same things i have.
this story has a message. a message to myself, a message to anyone who's gone through or is currently going through the things i am.
life is scary and unpredictable and difficult, but i want to tell you that there is hope. there is light at the end of the tunnel, you can't succumb to the darkness. it's definitely hard to keep going, but it is so worth it and it is so rewarding in the end.
never stop moving forward. always work to improve. you can make it better. it will get better.
"it gets better."
that is what the main message of this story is.
that is what i tell myself every single time i feel down. that is what i want to tell to anyone who feels down. anyone who's on their last thread, feeling like they can't go on, wanting to drop everything and give up, i want to tell them it gets better. i want to SHOW them it gets better.
i know i'm not alone when i struggle. i put myself in these characters, knowing i'm not alone, knowing someone will relate to me but more importantly them, and i want them to understand they're not alone too.
you aren't alone. you're somewhere in this story.
this rewrite is not just an ordinary project to me. this is not just me rewriting a video game that my autistic brain has latched onto. these are my thoughts, feelings, values, heart, brain, soul, blood, sweat, tears, everything. this rewrite is ME. I AM this rewrite.
so if you want to see me, and if you want to see YOU, then i highly recommend following antics at akademi. it's pretty much my magnum opus.
and if you don't want to read this, that's okay too! whether you choose to or not, i just want you to understand the message and remind yourself of it every time you feel down.
so. remember, it gets better.

supernatural s10e23 brother's keeper (w. jeremy carver)
so here's what i'm gonna try to do. shelve all those ugly feelings about how they handled charlie and (hopefully) not let it completely ruin watching this episode (and the show). i have too much emotional investment in sam and dean to want to walk away entirely, but i also don't want this to turn into a hatewatch.
but gonna say again what a shame it is sam is giving this impassioned speech to cas about saving dean when i can't appreciate it nearly as much as i could have a few seasons ago.
SAM Dean guessed! Cas, What are we supposed to do, huh? Just sit on our asses, do nothing? CASTIEL No. We find Dean. SAM And then what?! The only thing that stopped Cain was death. Do you want to kill Dean? Because I don't. And the only way I know how to save my brother is to cure the Mark. And, yes, I know there will be consequences, but not you, not Dean, not anybody can tell me what those consequences are. So I'm not gonna let my brother destroy himself on a guess. We save Dean.
finally someone as mad as i am about that trope, about how they jump to conclusions and make decisions off bad or no information constantly. really fucking grinds my gears. so, thanks, sam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DEAN Well, they let her leave the house looking like a whore.
even when will graham's brain was melting, he wasn't a fucking asshole. jesus. dean wasn't this horrible when he was a full fledged demon.
Tumblr media
maybe i'll paint rowena some day. she's so pretty and i do love drawing red hair. working on another one of gillian at the moment.
also was wondering the other day if crowley wasn't witchy enough to do the spell. before sam tried to kill him, that is. cooperative-ish somewhat human-ish demon witch who has (apparently) an actual soft spot for the winchesters. obviously wanted to keep rowena on the board and in action but
my tolerance level for this particular variant of asshole dean is at a zero. read the script and fast forwarding this awful interview scene with the parents.
SAM Cas, take this. It's Dean's hair. You need it for the spell.
contemplating how he even got much of his hair. i have hair of a similar length to dean's and i don't need to brush it. maybe he uses something when he styles it? i just use my hands with goop. the only time there's much of it around is after i cut it. so did they have it on-hand already? stockpile of their various leavings. little apothecary drawers of sam and dean's respective locks of hair and nail trimmings.
Tumblr media
oh so now they're gonna show the "dark thoughts, creepy visions, violent urges." (10x21)
Tumblr media
aha, i have seen this in gif form a number of times. context. everything continues to be fine
CROWLEY Who summons anymore? Couldn't you call? CASTIEL You're not in my contacts list.
all right, that got a small chuckle out of me
Tumblr media
kinky
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not this again. (5x18) skipping self destructive and going straight to suicidal.
i really enjoy julian richings as Death, and he and jackles play off each other really well. but this trying to make a deal with him, some new made up bullshit about how *dun dun DUN* if no one has the Mark some unspeakable evil dark miasma will destroy everything, it's tiring. reminds me of some improv game where as they pass the story down to the next writer, they have to play off whatever scenario has been set up.
DEAN Brother, I'm done. SAM No. No, you're not. Dean. DEAN Grab a pen. It's time to say goodbye.
i thought i was done with suicide trauma related triggers for the season. silly me
hello improv game. yes, rando dude working at the diner is the immortal oskar of rowena's past. of course.
DEATH Even if I remove Dean from the playing field, we're still left with you, loyal, dogged Sam, who I suspect will never rest until he sets his brother free – will never rest until his brother is free of the Mark, which simply cannot happen, lest the Darkness be set free. Then there was that time you stood me up.
think that's technically on dean, not sam
DEAN Remember when we were in that church, making Crowley human, about to close the Gates of Hell? Well, you sure as hell were ready to die for the greater good then. SAM Yeah, and, Dean, you pulled me back. DEAN And I was wrong. You were right, Sam. You knew that this world would be better without us in it. SAM No, no, no, wait a second. You're twisting my words here, Dean. DEAN Why? Because we -- we track evil and kill it? The family business? Is that it? Look at the tape, Sam. Evil tracks us. And it nukes everything in our vicinity -- our family, our friends. It's time we put a proper name to what we really are and we deal with it. SAM Wait a second. We are not evil. Listen... We're far from perfect, but we are good. That thing on your arm is evil, but not you, not me. DEAN I let Rudy die. How was that not evil? I know what I am, Sam. But who were you when you --when you drove that man to sell his soul... Or when you bullied Charlie into getting herself killed? And to what end? A good end? A just end? To remove the Mark no matter what the consequences? Sam, how is that not evil? I have this thing on my arm, and you're willing to let the Darkness into the world. SAM You were also willing to summon death to make sure you could never do any more harm. You summoned me because you knew I would do anything to protect you. That's not evil, Dean. That's not an evil man. That is a good man crying to be heard, searching for... some other way. DEAN No, there is no other way, Sam. I'm sorry.
halfway convinced me they should have ended this several seasons ago, reunited in heaven and be done with it all.
when dean was beating the shit out of cas i was wondering when sam and dean were gonna get into it. well.
SAM That's enough. Hey, that's enough. You will never, ever hear me say that you -- the real you -- is anything but good. But you're right. Before you hurt...anyone else, you have to be stopped at any cost. I understand. Do it.
i know i'm especially jumpy about dean being ready to die, but sam who i tend to be more bonded with these later seasons, he's ready to die for the greater good quite regularly. or when he thinks it's time. or whatever else. but his comes from a place of being (theoretically) logical and rational, whereas dean's is the opposite. and i guess that's why it pushes my buttons so differently.
all that said, i haven't cried like this from a finale in some number of seasons. but it feels greatly cheapened by the inane plot hoops needed to jump through to get us here.
Tumblr media
sam nodding to give the go ahead to kill him is crushing.
i know dean kills death at some point, which is a shame. i'll miss his actor. but i'm guessing now's the time
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it's giving twister (1996)
Tumblr media
i hate that all this was essentially setup for the new big bad. but we can't have the sam and dean show without these kind of plot hijinks. and trying to come up with new bigger badder bads over time just makes it more and more ridiculous. the reality that there's 5 seasons left to go is really hitting me now.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #37
The candied orange peels are just about finished drying out! Behold!
Tumblr media
As you might expect, they taste even better now that they're fully dried! I will put them in a container soon so I can share it with some friends on Sunday! I'm very excited!
I played a game called Terraria for the first time in a very long time today! It's a wonderful game in which you can build lots of cool things and fight various kinds of interesting enemies! I already have thousands of hours invested into this game, and it's one of my favorites, but I don't usually have anyone to play it with. Doing it by oneself is usually fine enough, but without someone to do it together with, it usually feels pretty dull and meaningless after a while. With the way my brain works, I have lots of trouble trying to find the meaning in building beautiful things if there's no one around to share it with.
I wonder if you've ever felt like this. Are there things that you haven't done in a long time that you would like to return to doing? Do you sometimes struggle to create things if you can't share the results with anyone? I know you can't answer me, but still I wonder.
In any case, I made a new friend from Germany yesterday, and as it turns out, she is familiar with Terraria, too! She hasn't played it in even longer than I have, so there have been a lot of updates since the last time she played. These updates introduced a variety of new enemies, items, and mechanics that she wasn't familiar with. But she's very smart, and she relearned what was familiar to her and adapted to the new mechanics very quickly! I was impressed! We gathered a lot of resources in order to build things, and she even dug a very deep hole all the way down to the Hell biome! Watching her patience and persistence in action was incredible!
Even better, she's a wonderful conversation partner, and we spent the entire time chatting and laughing about various things, from the politics in our countries, to random, silly topics. She even taught me some German words and phrases! I think my favorite one of those is one that I know about in English, but we don't have a specific word for - it is well-known in my world that sometimes, when you have a problem, and then you try to show it to someone, the problem mysteriously vanishes until you stop trying to show it to someone. In German, that phenomenon is called Vorführeffekt! It is a very good word, and you can bet your bottom that I'm going to incorporate it into my own vocabulary (even if I still have a little trouble trying to pronounce it, haha!)
I got enough resources today to build a house, but it has been so long since last I played that I almost forgot the typical style that I like to build in. This is a clumsier example of the houses I usually like to build, but that's okay - I'll show it to you anyway! Check it out!
Tumblr media
My friend spoke about getting marble to build a whole castle with! It is time for her to go to bed, but at my house, it's still the middle of the evening; after I'm done writing this letter to you, I might wander around the world and try to find her some marble to build with; I literally cannot wait to see what she can do!! I'm so excited!
It's a relatively rare thing for me to make a new friend; most folks find me vaguely unsettling for a variety of reasons, haha! But that's all right; the rarity of this thing only makes it all the more meaningful when I find someone I seem to "click" with! I wonder how this interaction will unfold! In written conversation on previous occasions, she has said a variety of insightful things that shows her critical thinking skills and deep attunement to patterns and detail; I am very much looking forward to learning as much as I can by listening to her perspective on a variety of things as time goes on!
It seems like making new friends is a relatively rare thing for you, too, isn't it? But that's just the way it is sometimes for folks who are considered "unusual". And that's okay. This sort of thing is why us weirdos have to stick together. And it's a lot more fun that way, anyhow. After all, normal is kind of boring, isn't it? So let's make a promise to embrace our "weirdness" instead of wandering around, trying to pretend to be someone we're not. That sort of thing is exhausting anyhow, and we have better things to spend our time and energy on, don't we?
Stay safe out there, all right? Remember you are loved, and let that knowledge empower you to do brave and amazing things.
I'll write again soon.
Your friend, Lumine

Idk.. this is kinda going off of that last ask you responded to but like. The last time either of them saw each other (or at least that we know of) was when they were at their absolute worst. It’s just so sad that neither of them got the chance to prove something to the other in any way. Ho16 was a major set up of them tearing each other apart while being undeniably obsessed/infatuated by the other behind closed doors, only to never properly discuss this mutual connection they have and maybe even hash out WHY they felt the need to do the things they did. It’s not only closure for the recent events involving the burger van, but everything that came before that they never got to talk about.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm totally with you anon. Handshake emoji. The entire Paradise arc was about Wilbur chasing after the rush of being alive, of feeling alive. The sprint up the steep mountain, to feel the air in his lungs, to feel the blood pumping in his veins, to feel human again after 14 years of nothing. It blinded him, this chase. His rivalry with Quackity. And the end of The Wilbur Van was the top, the "Wilbur felt alive," the peak so high he couldn't fucking breathe. The euphoric rush came crashing down, he’s alive and it is ugly. He's alive and he's doing harm, he's hurting people, he's become so focused on his goal he hasn't realised the consequences of his actions. That was the point Ranboo made, jumping off the pressure plate. Showing Wilbur how frivolous this whole thing is.
That whole scene, it was raw and harsh and it's abundantly obvious that the things Wilbur and Quackity spat at each other came from their own insecrurities. And that fist fight—it should have been a turning point. And I mean, it was a turning point in Wilbur's arc. But it should have been a turning point in tntduo's arc, in their relationship. It should have changed things. What it shouldn't have been was an ending. Yet it was. It was, and no matter what non-canon stream they do now, it doesn't change that fact. The Wilbur Van is tntduo's last canonical interaction.
In an ideal world, an ending should add to the story. It should create a new lens with which the audience can look back on what has happened. Reengaging with a piece of media after knowing how it ends should be exciting. You should be able to point out all the details and themes that then culminate into that ending, the parallels and setup and foreshadowing that built up into the satisfying payoff. And I understand, I really do understand that this is the fucking Dream SMP. This is a silly little minecraft roleplay and I'm taking it way too seriously. Except that... Wilbur wrote out this entire arc, right?? His pre-revival arc was so fucking wonderful, with such a fantastic finale in Nov 16. I just... I don't know. I feel a little bit lost, really. Maybe it really is just that my expectations were too high. That I was doomed to be disappointed no matter what. Except that... my expetations really weren't very high. All I wanted was something. And I don't think we. Got that.
I can't even point out any specifics, because their two finales were just so completely seperated. Absolutely no overlap (in events, not locations ofc), even though so much of the Revivedbur arc centered around Quackity. I'm very much aware that they are individual characters and not EVERYTHING has to be about their relationship, but. It really was still a very big part of things. And y'know. Something would have been nice. And... yeah, I think I'm talking a lot more about Wilbur than about Quackity now, simply because so much of Revivedbur's arc centered around Q, and we always saw it from Wilbur's POV, whereas Quackity's lore streams have always been focused on a lot of other things. NOT TO SAY that cQuackity wasn't invested in their rivalry, because there's so so much proof that he very much was, but y'know. I am talking about cWilbur now when I say that... his finale put such a terrible spin on the entire Revivedbur arc. Both the burger van and the apology tour... the first ended in a peak that got absolutely no closure, and the second ended in what amounted to one great bit gotcha! moment. And that just. That really fucking sucks. Looking back on the entire arc is kinda just. Sad. And a little bit hollow.
Anyway. That's what fanficiton is for!! Giggling and kicking my feet and writing more of Red Flags.

8 Shows To Get To Know Me
Thank u for tagging me @jyuubin!!
Invader zim
I was a big nick/cartoon network kid & invader zim is just such a classic. I would watch the shit out of it, I’ve bought the whole series, the whole deal. When I was little I based my identity off of gir and when I was rewatching not too long ago I realized I still have so many lines memorized… it’s so silly and stupid and smart and gross I love it
My babysitter’s a vampire
Since this is a get to know me tag we’re like going through time with these series. This is another one I have lines memorized from! If I were to say which character I am it would be Rory and that is Important to know. A bunch of my friends love it too and we’ve rewatched it together it’s so fun whenever we do <3 another classic if u ask me
Merlin
If u asked me in like 2015-2017ish what my fav show is I probably would’ve said Merlin. And it stayed up there as a fav show for a WHILE. I’ve never been able to rewatch it bc of like. The Pain the finale caused me but I was obsessed with it when I did watch it. I had some huge multiship mindset going when I watched it and was shipping basically everyone together which I don’t think I’ve done for any other show… I watched tf out of the bts for it too. Like I was kinda in deep…
Skam/druck/skam austin
Is it cheating if I put a show and my two fav remakes LMAO… I’m a big skam girlie. We should all know this. I made this acc when druck was airing as a skam + remakes blog. I had a skam austin username for the longest time (rip gracefulnosplinters). The og is such a classic and gave me some of my fav pan rep (so did druck)! I was so so so obsessed and in my heart I still am. I’ll defend skam austin to the ends of the earth. I met some of the druck cast members (heyyy Lukas). I lived and breathed those clip drops in real time like they were AIR. I completed the Norwegian duolingo course and my streak is still going. But really which skam viewer has ever been not entirely invested in the series. I’ll stop now cuz I could talk Forever about it all…
The untamed
Oh god. If you knew me when I first watched cql I’m genuinely so sorry… I would NOT shut up. It was every other word out of my mouth. I related every goddamn thing I saw to the show. It consumed me for MONTHS. As in I literally couldn’t watch anything else until a few months later after binging all sorts of bts, adaptations, and reading parts of the novel (funny thing is I still haven’t seen all adaptations/everything lmao). I always say it’s a good thing I couldn’t legally drive people when I was in this phase cuz I ONLY listened to/played the fucking character osts in the car for months like I knowww my mom was sick of it (she’s the only one who had to deal with me in the car lmfao). It was also the first time I ever actually made a sideblog for anything. I found the show at a very fitting time in my life too. Probably one of the hardest times ever but some of the themes in the series stuck with me in ways that felt so personal. A lot of love here
Kinnporsche
Another one I was super invested in at the time. Would not shut tf up about vegaspete. Very annoying about. Rewatched tf out of it. You know the drill. The few months I spent watching it was so eventful
HIStory2: crossing the line
Okay I think I’m really just in a HIStory mood lately but this fucking show. THESE TWO. YU HAO AND ZI XUAN. WHAT THE FUCK. The best way I can explain this is in a way no one else can understand: it appeals to a younger part of me in a very specific way. Like it’s scary. The chemistry is insane like going back to it after about a year still made me feel the exact same crazy way. One of the greatest losses caused by covid was the sequel that got cancelled 💔
Bad buddy
We all saw this coming. Gotta end with a bang. My favorite ql of all time. Insane to experience live and such a perfectly crafted show (thx p’aof). Layers upon layers of depth to write about (which like tbh every bad buddy fan basically has, me included). Just so much to love. Speaking of love: milklove origins too!!! We get it all from one silly little series. I remember exactly where I was so vividly when I experienced so many iconic scenes. It’s legendary!
I’m gonna tag @dumpsterslugz (I can tag you in things like this now >:D) @pondphuwin @heart-ming @markpakin & anyone else who wants 2 do this !!

Hey Art! How are you? It has been a long time since I last interacted with you. How has life been treating you recently? Whenever I think about you, I always hope that you are happy and in a good state of mind. The new drabble you posted was really cute and cozy! JK and OC are truly couple goals :p I wonder how you can write so amazingly that my heart swells with warmth.
As for me, do you remember when I told you about the guy I had a crush on, who asked me about my type? Yeah.
So, the thing is, this guy is my classmate, and we usually sit together on the bus to and from school. We don't talk much, but it's not awkward when we do not talk. At least I feel alright when we sit together in comfortable silence. He, well, to be honest, he doesn't seem to act like he likes me back. But then again, he's that non-expressive kind of guy. He doesn't talk much about things that don't excite him and doesn't mind sitting in complete silence. He's that kind of guy (just like me sometimes, for real). So, often times, we just stay silent the entire ride from school to home because we don't really have common interests. He's into anime and sports, and I also watch anime, but I'm not that much of a die-hard fan. And it often makes me wonder, am I really doing it right? Is it right to be interested in this kind of guy? It's really confusing and stressing me out too.
But yesterday, when we were on our way back from school, he asked me if we could share our money (I had some money, but he had more) and go eat ice cream on our way back home. I initially agreed to it, thinking he was just kidding. We sometimes do that, you know, to tease each other. So when I got up from my seat at my stop, he suddenly asked me, 'Oh, are you not coming with me?' Even then, I thought he was still joking, so I just waved my hand at him, smiled, and got off.
But then, when I came back home, I dwelled upon what had happened earlier. As I replayed the scenes in my head, I wondered... was he... asking me out for an ice cream date? I was confused to say the least. Thinking about it, I was reminded of the face he had when I stood up to get off at my stop. He almost seemed disappointed; his voice was softer and kinda... sad? But then again, I could just be overthinking it.
Today too, when someone else came to sit with me earlier than him, I thought he would ask them to stand up and tell them to sit somewhere else. But instead, he himself went somewhere else and sat with his friend.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and it's driving me crazy! Is he interested in me? Does he like someone else? Am I just overthinking it all? Is it okay to invest my time in someone who doesn't feel the same? These kinds of thoughts keep me up at night.
I hope he shows some more signs so that I can be certain about his feelings because this is really, really confusing atm!
Anyway, sorry, I went a bit overboard. Thanks for reading my silly little rant about my life, and really, thanks for being here. You are like a big sister figure to me, and I genuinely appreciate everything you do for the community!
Take care of yourself<3
liking someone is really hard because you can’t help but to overthink every little thing that they do ❤️‍🩹 as you said you don’t really talk much so it’s hard to assume things and i think in cases like this it’s better to just let things unfold first and allow your feelings to blossom into something more recognizable <3 accept the opportunities to spend more time with him and get to know each other better, this way you can decide for yourself too how much you like him !! because we tend to get too swept up in our own head at times and living in the moment brings you soooo much clarity trust me !! as long as you have a good day, no matter who it is with, i don’t really think time would be wasted :D maybe you can bring up the ice cream again and you can go together for real this time hehe. i hope things work out well for you beloved and please take care of your heart 💕
and omg 🥲 a big sister figure 🥲 this is so sweet thank you anonie !! 💕 i try my best to be helpful to you guys but tbh i tend to be stupid in dealing with my own personal life lol so please bear with me, learn from my mistakes, and thank you for trusting me 😭💕
i’m just trying to enjoy life as much as i can while also working hard and adjusting to many changes :") it’s very tiring physically emotionally and mentally but i’m hanging in there! and writing helps me a lot when i’m feeling anxious too so thank you so much for reading my works i appreciate you lots 🥺💗

What I'm Watching, Summer 2023 Anime Season
New Stuff:
AI no Idenshi (The Gene of AI) - Episode 1 is basically a more ground level exploration of Lena by qntm. I'll see if it takes this somewhere new, or at least explores it effectively.
Helck - Shonen on the silly side. Dunno if I'll stick with it, but it's good dumb fun for now.
Higeki no Genkyou to Naru Saikyou Gedou Last Boss Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu. (The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior) - What a mouthful. Here's to more villainess anime! It's pretty standard, if a bit confusing so far.
Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? (Am I Actually the Strongest?) -This is an utter garbage show. I'm in for now.
Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu (My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1) - This has a few twists from the normal OP hero formula, I think I'll give it longer.
Liar Liar - High quality make-up-some-bullshit games. I'll give this one a shot.
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan (2023) - I never actually watched the whole original, I'll keep with this while I can.
Seija Musou: Salaryman, Isekai de Ikinokoru Tame ni Ayumu Michi (The Great Cleric) - This seems surprisingly comfy? I'll watch for now.
Shiro Seijo to Kuro Bokushi (Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence) - A somewhat quirky setup for an unrequited feelings comedy. I might get bored and drop it, but not yet.
Synduality: Noir - Ergh. I'm going to try watch this because it's a half-decent mecha show and those are few and far between, but that "half" is doing a lot of work.
Undead Girl Murder Farce - There's something here. Sorta a Monogatari vibe, if it was about the people on the spooky side of things instead of the teenagers.
Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon (My Blissful Marriage) - This sure took a while with the Cinderalla setup. Suuuuuper slow in general. The supernatural hook is keeping me going for now.
Yumemiru Danshi wa Genjitsushugisha (The Dreaming Boy is a Realist) - This took me a while to figure out. I think it’s a banter show, ish. Episode to episode, mixed in with the banter is “hey, words have consequences”. The thing that made it hard to figure out is it’s also a romcom but we skipped the entire first act. He did the shitty protagonist stuff offscreen, and he has now stopped and the tsundere is making her initial tsun to dere turn accordingly.
Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto (Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead) - This looks like exactly the wacky fun I hoped for. Non-sequel anime of the season contender.
Sequels:
Mushoku Tensei II: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2) - Off to a solid start!
Tonikaku Kawaii: Joshikou-hen (TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You - High School Days) - More of an OK thing, I'm fine with that.
Carryovers:
Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou II (The Misfit of Demon King Academy Ⅱ) - Restarting from Winter 2023 after having been delayed due to "circumstances" (COVID).
Hall of Shame (things I dropped after one episode):
Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanashi (My Tiny Senpai) - Usually I would be here for a cute little shortstack in a show about nothing but uh... no. This is too much nothing. Pass.
Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta (The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses) - Normally this would be my kind of show too, but the camera work makes me feel motion sick. Didn't even finish one episode.
Lv1 Maou to One Room Yuusha (Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero) - I dunno, everyone being an asshole and I don't really feel invested. Skip.
Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai suru (Reign of the Seven Spellblades) - I don't know why, but this didn't pull me in.

Just a silly little rant : ]
(About Hazbin Hotel) (There may be spoilers for those who haven't watched the show yet.)
Aight so, I'm not on Twitter or "X" at all because no. But, I've been hearing a lot of people their (and probably other sites) hating on Hazbin Hotel for no reason I can understand. I hear they criticize the story, the pacing, saying it's too "childish" or "too immature for an adult cartoon" even Vivzi herself as the creator; saying that she can't write a good story. So, as an adult and lover of cartoons and animation as a whole, I will say this:
Now, to start things off, I am just one person and my opinion may not matter. With that being said, I really don't understand all this criticism about the show. Not everything has be an award winning masterpiece of a show or film. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. If you don't like the show, then, well, don't watch it. That easy. No need to make a huge fuss about it. I understand a cartoon musical may not be your forte. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you have a right to discourage others from watching it. Personally, I think it's a great show.
Fantastic even. I like the animation, I like how every character has their vibe and unique to each other, I like how theatrical it is, and I especially like how the show doesn't treat it's adult audience like they're dumb and reduce adult humor to nothing but, sex jokes, swearing, and gore-full violence. Sure, Hazbin Hotel still very much has those things too but, it's not the entire show and it doesn't make up the whole show. They don't rely I crude humor as a crutch for their show. The characters have personality, motives and reasoning behind what they do. They're not just hollow characters. They are treated more like people with their own lives. It has a plot.
And out of all the adult shows I've seen over the years, I can safely say that never in my life have I ever been so interested and invested in an adult cartoon until Hazbin Hotel. It's a breath of fresh air for me. It may not be a "masterpiece" but, it doesn't have to be. It's fun to watch and some parts, I found myself on the edge of my seat; especially during "Welcome To Heaven" and the fight seen at the finally.
Some may say that the pacing is off or wrong or too fast and, sure, it may be but, that could also be because it's a musical. That's also another thing I like about it. I used to not like musicals but grew to like them the more I've watched them and liked them by the time the show came out.
As for the animation part. It's a cartoon. It may look immature to you from the outside but I could be because you may not be used to cartoons or ones of this style. Now, I grew up watching cartoons so I may be a little biased but, there are so many things you can do with animation that you can't do with live actions.
There's more freedom with what you can do with animation. More free motions and movements, more expression, more emotion and that's why I love and respect animation as a whole. Live action tends to take itself too seriously and animation allows people to be more silly. And Honest I think we could use more of that.
Not all adult shows have to be crude, doom and gloom and serious all the time. Yeah, there's a time and a place but not all the time. So, to those who were discouraged to watch Hazbin Hotel because sometime told them it was bad or terrible, you don't have to listen to them, if you were once interest, at least give it a chance. I promise, you won't regret it. :}
Thank you for coming to my ted talk, okay bye now :p
