i’m probably not the first one to notice this, but it really breaks my heart that from chapter 17 onwards, thorfinn wears the clothes that the english woman gave him right before he signalled to askeladd and his crew to invade. she says they’ll be big for him, and she’s right - he more than grows into them. by the time askeladd is dead, he’s pretty much worn them out completely. and. i don’t know. just. thorfinn, consumed by rage, so much so that he doesn’t know anything but a quest for revenge, holding onto something like this is just. like i know he probably didn’t have that many other options, but he could’ve got a new set of clothes from any of the other villages askeladd and crew raided if he’d wanted to, but he didn’t. it’s like. he’s so used to the violence by this point, so consumed by hatred and so desperate for some sort of meaning to his emotions, but he wears a symbol of the one time someone was kind to him, and he knows without a doubt that he’s made her suffer. i. my heart goes out to him. because, i think that this is part of the reason he was able to bring himself back. because yes, he carried his father’s knife, and yes, he carried the knife of a man he killed, but he also carried the clothes, the warmth, the comfort, of the first person to look beyond his violence - look it in the face, even - and know that he could be someone so much better.

i just. this is, for me, what makes thorfinn so. i don’t know. i think, this is just a reminder that he is. still a child. and he’s not done growing up, but he’s done so much more and so much less of it than most. he’s an adult but he’s a child. and more importantly, there are people out there who are willing to help him be one. but he chooses not to be, even though he is, and that makes me. i don’t know.

i guess it’s because this marks a turning point for thorfinn. because in choosing to warn the woman who gave him clothes, food, care, and shelter, he is telling her that he doesn’t want the life of a viking raider. but in choosing also to still go through with askeladd’s plan, he’s saying that he does. and as he runs off to raid with askeladd’s men, he’s choosing to leave the english woman and everything she represents behind. but at the same time, he wears the clothes she gave him, right up until the end.

i don’t know. i have a lot of feelings about this scene and what it means. because yes, ultimately thorfinn does choose askeladd over the other possibilities, but he also, just for a moment… doesn’t.

Oh gosh okay so I went back to marinating more on long haired Jihoon, but specifically long haired Jihoon getting pegged has me chewing on the bars of my enclosure to get out

Like just think of how pretty he'd look when he's on all fours and your fucking into him!! His chest blushed and heaving from how needy he is for you and the way your touch just feels so good and electric running along your skin! Your fingers then threading through his hair to pull his head up to see his thoroughly fucked out and flushed face in the mirror you placed in front of the bed. His eyes rolling back into his skull as cute little whimpers and cries slip from his lips when you brush your lips along his shoulder and licking up his neck before nibbling on his earlobe. Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh and even the louder moans he'd make if you gripped his cheeks in your hands and pounded him into the mattress, his back arching so nicely that you can't help but run a hand up his spine and wrap his long hair around your fist while he trembled underneath you whimpering about how he's gonna cum. Your eyes dropping down to watch his slick hole swallowing your strap on with ease from being played with for so long before getting bent over. Jihoon's whines getting louder from hand slipping between his thighs to jerk off his leaky cock until he's releasing spurts onto the sheets under him. Tears springing from his eyes as you fuck him at a harder and faster pace until he was left gasping for air, his thighs shaking from keeping his ass up when your strap slips out of his trembling hole and a relieved smile on his face as you cooed about how good he was for you, and how he looks so pretty all fucked out like this between kisses along his spine

#seventeen smut #woozi smut #jihoon smut #i'm sorry i'm back in my geto jihoon thoughts of him with some long hair. like long ass hair like him and this started cuz #i saw a post on ig from the alley saying that they'll have more jjk merch coming soon and i really wanna get the keychains #especially since my slutty little toji is included too like oh my god #but yeah i think i might be good enough to try writing again but bit by bit #mostly cuz the ways i've been coping with stress and anxiety hasn't been as effective but writing this has helped me calm down a bit #and get me focused on something else cuz i've had too many peer reviews that i think i should probably get assessed by a doctor soon #but yee ya girl sammy is making baby steps of a return rn since writing this didn't feel draining at all and it made me so happy!!! #this shit has me feeling like austin powers when he got his mojo back lmaooooo #m:jihoon

Well fuck now I wanna write a few thousands of words of Niffty and Husk kicking so much ass.

#i got a little too wrapped up in a part of the one fic that was just supposed to be a bridge for time passing #but then i made a shark and nifft got excited for some possible murder and like how can u say no to her #it probably wont happen #cause i know what energy and memory are like #i just want her to go fuckin full throttle. like millie in the one episode of helluva boss where the door closes and reopens to a massacre #same energy #n husk is just like. walks up hands on hips heavy sighing and being mistaken for a washed up loser #and then just flexes that little bit of leftover overlord power #gettin a bit more intimidatingly tall #growling and his eyes get all fucken glowy and its like oh shit ok maybe hes not a total pussy pun intended #and then just a limb goes flying out of the alley way followed by screams and growling #and bro just walks out and readjusts suspenders and grabs niffty's hand and they go get fuckin icecream or something #and bring alastor a handful of teeth or something as proof of the problem bein taken care of #when im on desktop i might steal all these tags and make it a proper post #txt

Sorry my hs live blogging became non-existent I was getting really done with it for a while and then all of a sudden it got interesting again and I blasted through who knows how much of it straight through and HOLY SHIT

something something my favourite characters always getting left behind by the person they love most. will moving to lenora because it's what's best and hawkins has so many bad memories, troy sailing away on the childish tycoon because he needs to become his own person, and abed and mike letting them go even though they're worried about being left behind ("what if you want to join another party?" "i'm seeing real lava because you're leaving.") because they love them and they know it's what they need. and the poetic irony of me finally making a real friend who is leaving and moving countries next year

#history is doomed to repeat itself #ten years after trobed too like goddamn #alex says shit #personal post #i want to be happy for her and i am #but im afraid she'll find something better than me #i'm afraid if i let her go i wont ever get her back #and im afraid that maybe thats for the best #that maybe she's the best i'll ever have but i'm not the best she can #that there's greatness waiting out there for her that isnt me #and i want that for her of course #but it wouldve been fun if i wouldve been the one #ignore me that song doesnt relate #this is more an alley rose coded situation

[designernishiki]

GOD I wish we had like. Any canon content of Nishiki bearing witness to Kiryu and Majima's whole Thing

Like, in yakuza 1 it seemed like Majima knew Kiryu before he went to prison, and not just cause he learned his name in yakuza 0. They seemed to have had a rapport and Majima knew that Kiryu was "rusty" from his time in jail. So they clearly were doing their psychosexual fight shenanigans back in the 90s. And Nishiki HAD to have witnessed or at least known about it

No this doesn't keep me up at night I'm normal

SO true bestie I CONSTANTLY wonder what the hell was going on in that 89-95’ window with them,,, and the completely unexplored dynamic with nishiki as part of that especially– I mean, nishiki’s the one who initially says he’s gonna make it his duty to welcome kiryu back from prison with open arms and all that, and when that falls through majima swoops in without anyone asking (quite the opposite- he definitely isn’t supposed to be welcoming back The Guy Convicted Of Killing Dojima) and becomes somewhat of a replacement pillar in kiryu’s life where nishiki used to be. which is a pretty huge hole to fill. and suggests their relationship had to have not totally come out of nowhere.

it makes me seriously wonder like. what kind of relationship did majima have with kiryu prior to prison in which majima could become so attached to him that he goes out of his way to help or save him whenever possible? or did it become that way more delayed, ramping up the moment nishiki was out of the picture so to speak? like you said, they were already seemingly pretty well acquainted before shit went down, but with nishiki still around… hm. it’s an important factor to consider for sure.

my thought is that nishiki would’ve been protective over kiryu and would try, to the best of his ability, to keep him at a distance from The Mad Dog of Shimano (understandable, honestly), half out of genuine concern and half out of the fear of someone attempting to lure kiryu away from him and leave him alone and, by consequentially, worthless– considering he’s a very insecure guy and he and kiryu were quite codependent at the time. and knowing majima, he likely would’ve gotten the message loud and clear and perhaps kept his distance emotionally speaking (to the best of his ability, but let’s be real i think majima caught feelings for kiryu pretty early and wouldn’t be able to TOTALLY stop them from manifesting in one way or another), but I don’t doubt kiryu still ended up in various ordeals and play-fights with him– maybe even a bit more than that. I can see majima getting a kick out of annoying nishiki and by no means would majima be intimidated by him whatsoever (he can’t beat the shit out of nishiki and nishiki knows that from experience)– but majima’s, secretly, a very selfless, oddly self-disciplined person and I doubt he’d purposefully take his teasing too far. in fact, I think he’d try pretty actively to avoid approaching kiryu if nishiki’s around, knowing nishiki’s not a fan of him, not wanting to create any distance between the two, and not wanting to inject himself too deep into kiryu’s life to turn back when he needs to.

I feel like nishiki wouldn’t genuinely feel threatened by majima’s mad dog reputation; he’d feel threatened by whatever enigmatic thing majima is beneath the mad dog persona. whatever he is that allowed him to run the most prestigious cabaret in sotembori (and probably one of the best in all of Japan) and get it to such a status in only two years, all while only 22-24 years old, and all while recovering from an entire year in the hole (which, as we know, nishiki has been informed about the horrors of). so, while he’d be insecure and concerned about kiryu getting drawn away from him by someone more competent than himself, he’d also be distrusting due to the lingering feeling that whatever majima’s interests were with kiryu, they’d have an ulterior motive or two that could get kiryu hurt or worse. majima was shimano’s dog at the time, after all– who knows what he could’ve been ordered to do with kiryu in the long run? what kind of guy would voluntarily pledge his allegiance to shimano after being tortured by him for so long? you get the picture.

side note: interesting to consider that he would’ve been right to be threatened by majima’s competence to some degree, considering majima’s the one who jumps in to fill the gap nishiki leaves in kiryu’s life after he’s released, AND he ends up taking nishiki’s place as top earner in the tojo clan only a year after his downfall. where he’d be wrong is that any of that was malicious.

#long post #nishiki #kazumaji #kiryu #majima #anon you really got me thinkin here hsgsgsghhhh #this time period is gonna be lingering in my brain the rest of the day #all the hypotheticals and shit………ough #rambling #imma be real. and maybe I’ll make a separate post about it but. I definitely feel like kiryu and majima drunk made out in an alley or #something at least once. at LEAST. #tbh before knowing all that much about kiryu and by association his closeness with nishiki and all that I can see them getting close enough #to almost have a much-less-convoluted romantic thing going on but. realizing kiryu’s got people who care about him already and not wanting #to get another person he likes get hurt because of him or whatever. he’d get emotionally distant/emotionally spontaneous and confusing #thus the dance begins

still sticking with the headcanon that adachis car is pure ass like it's fucking shit and unfunctional as balls it's probably third hand. man who doesn't have the cis guy trait to take care of his car or actually have the money to service it. guy who buys a lexus at 90% off because it's going to blow up less than 70 more kilometers of usage. it got dented twice. he never uses it for the rest of his time in inaba because he's being chaperoned around by his boss like a schoolkid. also now his own car is completely out of service.

#kommento #// one of dojimas many complaints being adachis waxing job is shit and body mass isn't enough even when he jumps on the tire wrench #// well I mean I guess more reasonably he wouldn't need a car in inaba because it's probably harder to get around without kirijo tech #// 'kirijo tech?' THE FUCKING LIMO #// the streets being narrow and winded and more back alleys that couldn’t be printed on the map than any city he's been to #// he already mentions how convenient scooters are for this reason that time he was there when dojima was passing his scooter to bancho #// plenty of the drama cds say he just uses police cars. and the walk from the station to home isn't that bad hed need a ride anyway #// I mean he passes by the dojima residence on his way home which is why he manages to sneak himself for some dinner or something #// 'how near is his home to the dojimas' enough that he could walk home drunk & not pass out on th pavement before he gets to his unit door #// by extension the shopping district being nearby so he can fuck around there if he wanted (if there was anything to do there) #ゲッー #// all this shit in my drafts like they’re scribbled on receipt paper scattered around the back room and i haven’t posted them up yet #// i cna cite all my evidences as per usual you can always ask ohh i’ve been getting more sloppy than usual

We need to bring back this style of interior design

Stop flipping houses and making everything white & gray. We need things to be outdated and for wood paneling to be everywhere again

#100% serious and ok maybe living in a house with wood paneling everywhere for the past 4 months has radicalized me but still #just let places look like shit again and have personality i'm so tired of everything having to be renovated & boring anymore #and not just with houses bring back places looking cool & vintage again like bowling alleys & grocery stores & diners #just thinking about how my dad's family room used to be wood paneling w/ brown shag carpet & a nautical theme #but my stepmother painted it all white & gray and put in wood floor so it looks boring & generic now :( WHERE'S THE PERSONALITY #just please take your modern style & go buy newer houses or houses that are in total disrepair or something leave the cool old houses alone #i seriously think i'd be so much happier if i lived in the late 70s/early 80s lol #this post has been brought to you by me watching napoleon dynamite & loving the aesthetic of it haha #p

I think it's very very very very unfair for your grade in a class to be based on 3 tests only AND to have all three tests weigh the same.

the weight of the midterms should not be equal to the weight of the final exam ESPECIALLY when you don't give us opportunities to raise our grades or actually study the material properly outside of the slides and one million pages of reading you assign. istg I'm gonna drop this class!!!!!

#reverie rambles #my personality midterms are both worth 33% #and my final exam is worth 34% #that's all we're graded on!!! #her slides are not good and most of our midterm content is apparently are “lecture only” content so if you miss even one class you're fucke #she doesn't post recordings either so if you miss something she said you're done #YET SOMEHOW SHE HAS A HIGH RATE MY PROF SCORE #no one I've met in this class likes this prof #it sucks tho cause the content is literally right up my alley #and yes ik it's my responsibility to go to class it's my money wasted if I don't #but I have a 3hr commute and a schedule I made based on the idea I'd be living on campus still #plus I'm on academic warning bc I was too depressed last year to do shit so I'm busy with my other classes this year trying to make all As #and I'm STRESSED #I feel like I don't need to justify myself but like #I also do bc for some reason people still aren't ready to wrap their minds around depression and burnout in university past the jokes #or like the 'aesthetic' of being so overworked you live on energy drinks and tears #as if there's some moral high ground you have over people who struggle the same as you and end up failing while you do fine #it's so shitty that working yourself to the bone to pass is so normalized :')
