Content: Being best friend with Tokimitsu, Aryu, Zantetsu and Raichi (separately) // platonic gn!reader
Characters: Aoshi Tokimitsu, Jyubei Aryu, Zantetsu Tsurugi, Jingo Raichi
Tumblr media
Tokimitsu Aoshi
- You became friends when you stood up for him in primary school
- He started to follow you like a puppy but then he got an idea that maybe he is just bothering you, so he stopped
- You went to him and tell him to do what he wants, not what he things doesn’t bother others - and now you are still best friends in high school
- Now people don’t bully him because he is huge, however people take advantage of his kindness a lot
- Thankfully you are not that kind so whenever you are around, no one even dare to request ridiculous stuff from him
- “But maybe they just need help…” “No, shut up, they are using you” “….I don’t mind” “And that’s the problem”
- Outside of that you always ask him for his opinion whenever you two are deciding on something and he knows already he cannot answer “whatever you prefer”
- You love watching trashy movies together that you find via online reviews
Angel protector: Omg omg omg look at this review: “This was glorious. Pure batsh** cheese. So much better than I could have even hoped for.”
Disasterous Sorry-Machine: Sounds great! What’s the title for the movie? When do you want to watch it?
Angel protector: Velocipastor. We are watching this weekend it will be hilarious
Disasterous Sorry-Machine: I’m sorry what’s the title again?
- He gives the best gifts ever and still apologies that “it probably isn’t what you wanted”
- He is also the best math tutor ever, except that he apologises every time you get something wrong (because he is the tutor, if he would be any good you’d get it right…)
- One time you sent him to grab you two food in the cinema, and he couldn’t decide if he should take caramel popcorn or normal, and nachos with cheese sauce or salsa, so he took it all, and that’s how you two found out that caramel popcorn with cheese and salsa sauce is really delicious
Jyubei Aryu
- Ah this man, what can I say - pure glam
- You met in middle school when you two were made sit desks, and after first period he said out of the blue “I am so sorry, but I couldn’t stop looking at your nails… They are so stylish! Are you going to a manicurist?”
- The answer was no, but you two became friends
- Aryu is always there to compliment you out of the blue and it really made you feel so much more confident
- You have to go shopping together, however it takes ages to shop with him
- However you’d know whenever something fits you because Aryu is behaving dramatic af and is almost passing out from stylish energy you give
- You go together to different shrines he finds glamorous and you are taking a whole photoshoot of him there
- Generally you have lots of pics together
- You love to braid his hair and whenever you have sleepovers you read fashion magazines and you try to style his hair accordingly
- Skincare. Party.
- All your prettiest Instagram photos are made by Aryu, this man is a professional
- He can do flower crowns and taught you and every summer u make flower crowns for each other and have (another) photoshoot while looking glam af
Zantetsu Tsurugi
- You were neighbors since how long you can remember, and you parents are friends
- At the beginning you didn’t like Zantetsu: because you thought he was an idiot. You complained to your mother that you don’t want to play with him, but she said “Being smart is not the most important thing person should be”
- It didn’t h it you at first, but in middle school you ended up in the same class for the first time, and you noticed how people make fun of him
- And that enraged you, because Zantetsu always was the nicest person to them, so honest too
- That moment you decided to be friends with him and that was the best decision you made
- You always help him study so he won’t fail his exams (but even with your best effort he still barely passes at best)
- He actually has great music taste and you like to share headphones during breaks and listen to newest gems he found
- You always tell him that without glasses he is hot af, but he said he prefer to be “smart al” (as A Lot)
- Oh he always misuse all acronyms because he forgets what they mean
Speedster: Hey my fwb is coming to visit this week,so I cannot hang out with you on Saturday
Bestie: YOUR WHAT
Speedster: Father’s Wife’s Brother
Bestie: … you mean your uncle?
Speedster: Bbg
Bestie: ??? Since when you call me Bbg?
Speedster: but aren’t you my bbg
Bestie: what do you mean bbg means?
Speedster: Best Buddy Gorgeous?
Bestie: that doesn’t even make sense
Speedster: wait so what does that mean?
Speedster: halo
Speedster: okay I’ll Google it
Speedster: … I mean I was close
- He loves going to the arcade with you and he is actually amazimg in most of the games
- He is great with animals, they LOVE HIM
- You went to the Bunny Cafe once and they loved him
- The same in Raccoon Cafe, Cat Cafe and Pig Cafe
- You generally like to hang out in this kinds of spots, also you can see that Zantetsu feels great with animals because they don’t care if he is smart or not
- Whenever he finds any fun activity in town he asks you to go together
- In amusement parks he wears animal ears without shame because he knows he looks gorgeous
- He is afraid of haunted houses for sure, but if you have to go and you are more afraid, he will step up to “protect you” while his legs will shake
Raichi Jingo
- You are cousins, but also best friends since forever
- However you are so different
- Your main task is to be The Calm One and do not allow him to get into any fights
- Even if he is an actually really good guy, somehow everyone assume he is an aggressive delinquent with yakuza relations
- However he could really chill and not hit you in the back “friendly” everytime he says hello, because your back might snap soon
- Whenever you have any disagreement about anything he says WANNA BET???
- If it is about something that requires fact check, usually you win
- He is a huge picky eater so you usually eat all of the food he will not eat
- Which is… a lot of veggies, because Raichi is like a kid
- However if he likes something he can eats so much, no wonder he has so much stamina
- He loves american romcoms especially the cheesy ones, but if you tell it to anyone you are dead
- He is very blunt and sometimes doesn’t understand that he can hurt you by what he just said, but when he finally notice he will apologise sincerely and tell you that you can pick the movie to watch
- And then you choose horror just to mess with him because this guy is a coward when it comes to ghosts and exorcisms
- But he will own it and watch it as a punishment from behind a plushie (if you tell anyone you are dead 2)
- Actually really good at cooking???
- He always asks you to watch all of his games because he treats it like a good luck charm
- He is actually a soft bestie, but with rough exterior
- You totally once found his stash of dirty magazines and he got beetroot red (he is a boob guy)
- Because of that you sometimes tease him to just see him blush like a tsundere he is

I don't think I have tourettes, but I've had tics since I was like 6. However, I've never been diagnosed with anything that could explain why. And it's not like they went unnoticed. No, I had very severe tics as a child. I never really experienced vocal tics, apart from coughing and clearing my throat repeatedly, but I did have complex motor tics that everyone was aware of.
My teachers, my classmates, my parents knew about them but they just didn't care I guess. I was made fun of for them by teachers and other kids though. I was told I was disruptive and bothering the class. Bro as if my tics weren't bothering me as well. But yeah, apart from telling me I was annoying, nobody really gave a shit lol.
They got better with age though. From the age of 12 or so my tics became less frequent and less severe than they were before. I still have them, but I can go days or even weeks without ticcing now, whereas it was a daily occurrence back in primary school.
Now that I'm older and my tics have lessened in intensity, I don't really feel the need to get a diagnosis. Sure, it'd be cool to know why the fuck this is happening. But given the point of a diagnosis is mostly to get access to treatment or accommodations, I don't really feel like I need one, since my tics are pretty manageable these days. I don't think people even notice I have them nowadays. It's mostly just my muscles tensing up, not something others would pick up on.
The reason I'm saying all of this is because an argument I've seen thrown around online as a way to discredit people with tourette or tic disorders is "I've seen videos where you don't tic at all but now you're ticcing every two seconds" or something along those lines.
And yeah, that's how tics work actually. They tend to vary in intensity. Even now that my tics are better, I still get days where they're more frequent. Some tics can go away completely over time. New tics can appear out of seemingly nowhere too. They can also change as you age. For some of us, we had really bad tics during our childhood, but now they've become less prominent. While for some others it might be the opposite, they developed tics later on in life.
This can go for basically any illness/disorder/disability btw, but we aren't a monolith. Which is why it's important to listen to as many stories as possible to get a better understanding of how a condition works. Everyone is different, so every condition is gonna present differently depending on the person.
Of course, diagnostic criteria is a thing, that's how you know someone suffers from a certain condition. But not everyone is gonna experience said symptoms the same exact way. As I've said before, I barely if ever, experience vocal tics. Doesn't mean nobody experiences them, or that if someone does they're faking. I'm just one person who exhibits one presentation of any given symptom.
Remember that medical professionals can't diagnose or undiagnose anyone from a social media post. They're straight up not allowed to, because social media isn't a 1:1 reflection of reality. We choose what we show online, things are curated. Which gives fakeclaimers even less credibility. Bro you're just some rando with a reddit account, go outside.
I didn't think this post would be so long. Shit's a goddamn novela. I'm pretty passionate about the topic, I just don't understand how weirdos online can claim to know more about someone than the person themselves. People change and so do disorders, doesn't mean it's fake.
Edit: omg forgot to mention! Just because someone isn't diagnosed doesn't mean they're faking their symptoms! You don't suddenly gain them once you're formally diagnosed.

sooometimes i wonder where we stayed in canberra when primary/high school took us there for school camps... anyway i was looking at something else when i came across this ~ibis styles canberra eaglehawk, and maybe that’s where we stayed in yr 6?? is there a usual place that all schools book when they take the kids down to canberra lol. orrr i feel like we might’ve gone there for... yr 10 or something (i forgot which year it was). idk, maybe yr 10. if we had smartphones back then i would’ve totalllyyy been interested because i’ve always been interested in where we went/where we stayed, and mapping it out and studying the route/what we’re close to/how long it’ll take to get there, etc. plus, with a smartphone i’d have taken a lottt more photos lol
...........WAIT OMG THIS IS THE SAME FUCKING ROOM
google images:
Tumblr media
my pic from 2005 (?):
Tumblr media
okay this is the coolest thing EVERRRRRR
and yes we did have that door that went to the other/adjoining room and it had two bunk beds back then
you can see the door here on the left:
Tumblr media
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREECHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
(yeah, i really like to track down places from just the photo or whatever lol, it’s like... detective work)
anyway omg this is amazing, now i know where we stayed in 2005!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
(i slept in the blue bed, my friend in the other one, and yeah those are my shoes poking out from under the quilt thing)
(and the four of them in the adjoining room decided to have a photoshoot dressed in only towels that night (and makeup lol)... and i took the photos... so yes i have like, blackmail material that i’ll never be bothered using haha)
anyway, here’s a photo of a rose from the rose garden outside old parliament house that i took the next day:
Tumblr media
canberra got a lot of hate from us back in the day, and i guess it still does now too, and maybe it deserves it, but i guess it really depends what you go for. if you like peace and quiet but with the convenience/services of a city (and dry cold winters (the dryness is more of a problem for me than the cold lol)), then canberra’s the way to go, i guess.
also yeah, not me taking pics of roads since forever lol:
Tumblr media
lake george:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in addition to road pictures, i really like old pics and seeing what has changed since then.
anyway!!! that was cool :3 yeah i just liveblogged my discovery lol (and that’s exciting too RIGHT)

Girls School Problems
My first crush was a boy I met in my church class; his name was Adrian. We were in the same cell group.
Sunday mornings meant long bus rides to church and sitting at the right side of the class. Boys and girls never sat together, so there was a huge gap between the genders like my catechist was crossing the red sea.
I only had a handful of girl friends in the class and never mixed with the boys. You’d think that in a class of 80, I could have at least 10 friends. I was very wrong. The girls from the other schools were always cold and judgemental – I could always feel them staring a hole into my back whenever I sat in the front. Or maybe that was just the beginning of my social anxiety.
“Eh, how is it going with Adrian?” My best friend, Jamie, nudged me in the side. I met her at church class too, but she was quite different from the other girls despite being in the same school as them. She talked to me first and we clicked instantly. We’ve been inseparable ever since.
“We texted a bit,” I whispered as I kept my voice low. “He wished me happy birthday and told me to get well soon.”
The catechist was going on about something regarding that week’s bible reading, but I wasn’t paying attention. Clearly.
“Why don’t you talk to him later when we break out into groups? He keeps looking at you, you know.”
I looked at Jamie in disbelief. Me? Talking to Adrian alone in real life? No way. I shook my head lightly and rolled my eyes.
“I think I’ll burst into flames if I do.”
She stifled a laugh and patted my back. The lights came back on again, signalling that it was time for us to split up into our cell groups. Everyone started to pack up and filed out, leaving my cell group behind to use the room. My group had 12 people, 6 boys and 6 girls.
We gathered in the centre of the class and sat in a circle but there was still a division between the genders. The girls sat in one half while the boys sat in the other. To link both sides of the circle together, our facilitators sat in between the last girl and boy at each end.
While settling down, I was so engrossed with talking to Jamie about our favourite band that I failed to notice that Adrian was sitting directly across from me. When I looked up, his eyes met mine immediately. I shifted my gaze quickly.
I couldn’t look at him or talk to him in real life. I didn’t know how to act around boys. The last time I had an actual conversation with any boy that wasn’t my father, was probably in kindergarten. We were paired with the opposite gender based on our heights, so I always had to hold hands and sit with a boy in class.
That was also the last time I was ever in a co-ed school. Since I was enrolled in an all-girls primary school and then an all-girls secondary school, my interactions with boys were limited. I only met a couple at church and tuition classes for a few hours every week.
The discussion went on as per usual with the facilitators asking and answering the questions while the rest of us continued to talk amongst ourselves or used our phones. We finished our session before the other groups returned, so the facilitators gave us a 20-minute break.
Jamie quickly dragged me up to go for a walk to stretch our legs. Before we left the room, I got a message from Adrian.
Want to go for lunch later?
I stared at the message and wondered how I could reply. Jamie hovered over my shoulder to read it, immediately shaking me hard with a squeal.
“OMG, He asked you out. What are you going to do? You should go! Get to know him more and talk to him. It’s so obvious that he’s interested in you. He texts you literally every day. I don’t think any other guy would do that,” Jamie whispered excitedly as we walked down the steps.
“And besides, his school is known to date girls from your school too. You two would be a match made in the East.”
I snorted. Right. A clichéd romance between a student from an all-boys school and a student from an all-girls school. Who said romance was dead? I picked up my phone and typed in a reply hesitantly.
Sorry, my sister is waiting for me to go home with her. Maybe another time?
That was half a truth and half a lie. Technically, it was true that my sister was waiting for me to go back but she would definitely be more than willing to go home alone if the situation arose. Jamie only sighed.
“Gen, when are you going to talk to him properly? You’re missing out big time.”
“I don’t know la, I just can’t do it now,” I shrugged as I slid my phone back into my pocket. Talking on text was enough for me since I didn’t have to face him or look him in the eyes.
We made it back to class before the break ended and sat at the back this time. When everyone else returned, the classroom became noisy and crowded until the catechist hushed us.
“To wrap up today’s class, here’s a quote I’ll leave you guys with: Love is patient, love is kind. Have a good day ahead, folks!”
My catechist was an odd guy. Did he happen to overhear my conversation with Jamie? I shrugged it off as a coincidence and laughed. Jamie and I were one of the first few to leave the room, feeling happy and free that we had the rest of the day to laze around. I spot my sister at the gate waiting for me and bid Jamie goodbye.
Together, we made our way to the bus stop opposite the church. I hated Bus 14 since it always took forever to come.
On this day, however, it felt like it took an entire lifetime. I scrolled through my Twitter account while my sister kept a lookout for the bus. All was well, until I felt a pat on my head.
I looked up only to find Adrian laughing at me.
“See you,” He smiled, giving me a wave before walking off with his friends. My jaw dropped internally and my sister gave me a questioning look. At that moment, I wished the ground would swallow me whole.
I opened my messaging app and stared at my chat with Adrian, wanting to type something to start another conversation. My mind went blank.
Wow, I really didn’t know how to interact with boys.

Muppet Christmas carol is my favorite Christmas movie and gravity falls is one of my all time fav shows! Please tell me more about the twins dressing up as Rizzo and Gonzo
Omg same!! I'd be so happy to! Thank you sm for asking!!
So essentially, I base this off an experience in primary school lmao where we got to dress up as characters at Christmas one year? (And sadly no, I didn't get to go as Gonzo or Rizzo)
Their school lets them dress up one year for Christmas, now being Jewish but a family that celebrates EVERY holiday at Mabel's instance, they were always gonna dress up. She wouldn't allow them not to.
Dipper and Mabel had a week to prepare and baby, Mabel was ready with her crafts and glue gun and Dipper was like "lay it on me, make me festive"
Initially Mabel and Dipper didn't know what to do, but they saw the Muppet Christmas Carol on TV one evening after school and they just knew they had to be the best two muppets there are
Dipper wanted to be Gonzo (I mean Mr Dickens) so he tell the story which much like Gonzo, knows like the back of his hand
Mabel also wanted to be Gonzo bc of the cool top hat and jacket he wears, but after many matches of Rock Paper Scissors, she let Dipper be Gonzo
But boy, when she dressed up as Rizzo, she did the whole shebang. She had the entire outfit copied to every minuscule detail. She had the jellybeans, she did a New York accent and repeatedly called dipper "Mr Dickens", "Charlie" and "Mr God Like Smarty Pants" all day (I also like to imagine dipper fell over on some ice or smth and Mabel took them opportunity to be like "GONZO SPEAK TO ME I MEAN CHARLIE ARE YOU HURT!?" like Rizzo does in the film)
Dipper also had the whole shebang, he was ready to tell the story of Scrooge, and using his pretend omnipotence to add to his amazing storyteller skills. And the cool outfit made him feel very very dapper and grown up (even with his sister calling him anything other than his name all day)
They were the best and most elaborately dressed in the whole school. They rocked it, obvs, they're the costume masters!
And yes they did sing the songs all day, as loud as they could, despite people telling them to stop. They never stopped, it went on all Christmas

“The fates lead the willing and drag the unwilling”
I was thinking about that last MT podcast HC had when he mentioned stoicism and a book I have but I haven’t read yet. So I decided to deep dive in a little bit because I studied philosophy at the university at a very basic level but I always wanted to know more, so this seems a good occasion. I am also interested in what HC could see in this philosophy school. I think we all know at this point he is interested in things that interest his people, not necessarily him or he is dropping ideas, new things fast. So one part of this will be a summary of stoicism because I feel many people have misconceptions or don’t know what is this just saying this is sh*t even don’t have the slightest idea about it. The other part will be a little HC armchair analysis by me throughout this topic. And I also decided to read the book he mentioned - Viktor E. Frankl Man's Search for Meaning - and maybe I will walk through it or give you a summary if you interested. 
Bare with me, because this turned out to be long, but I had to get out his from my system.
Not soon after the pandemic and the lockdown started in 2020 Penguin Random House said the print sales of Marcus Antonius’s Meditations are up 28% for the first quarter of 2020 vs 2019, while print sales of Letters from a Stoic are up 42% for the same period. The ebook sales rose by 356% . This boom was because of the pandemic but the popularity of modern stoicism has been an upcoming thing for a while especially since people like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet allegedly used stoicism in their business and Thomas Kaplan is supporting a Stoicism Course at Brown University. But unfortunately, modern stoicism has become kind of a ready-made lifehack, a self-helping method, that’s why books like Ryan Holiday’s one could be published and becomes a success. This is where I see modern stoicism’s faults. 
Stoicism seems a good school to support or to follow in the pandemic because this is about we have to accept the things we have no control over. Probably that’s why the sales went up. This is about don’t letting uncontrollable things or events messing with your judgment and clarity. Fear, screams, panic, rages don’t help. And I think we can agree this is true. Aurelius wrote his Meditations in the middle of a battle when his men were dying not just because of the fights but because of a pox epidemic and top of that he was an Emperor. So to maintain his sanity he had become a stoic. He didn’t have an influence on the epidemic so he just accept it and didn’t spend his energy raging about it. 
Stoicism was founded by Zenon around 300 BC. And it was a thriving and popular school without huge wars or pandemics or anything. Back then it was not a reaction to something but a preparation for something. More directly prepare yourself the thing you cannot be prepared for. And probably this is the OG stoicism most valuable teaching that there are events in this world we simply cannot control. What we can control however how we react to those events. Are we remain calm or think this is a catastrophe. Let see a very basic example. We are mortals, we will die no matter what. This is a sure event we have no control over. What we can control that our view on this. Will we panic? Refuse to even talk about death or refuse to make a will because “OMG I will die then!!” Like spoiler alert, it will happen, will or no will. Or we understand our time is limited and try to enjoy it and not see smaller inconveniences are tragedies. I am sure we all know people who think if they spill themselves over with coffee or the handle of the grocery’s bag comes off it’s a pure tragedy and they are capable of thinking about this all day as something it is happening with them always an exclusively. 
Until this, I think it’s all good we can use this in our daily life. What is dangerous in the OG stoicism is that the stricter wing of it thought emotions as a whole or almost all of it cause confusion so you basically should eliminate emotions to have that clarity on life. That’s why Diogenes wrote that the wise is emotionless. And this is the main and very valid criticism again stoics, that with taking away the emotions they basically ripping of humans from something very unique valuable, important, because our emotions make us humans. And because living totally emotionless is kinda impossible this goal is not realistic, so it causes many frustrations ( oh my... even more emotions!) Because think about it, who are described as emotionless? Psychopaths. 
You have cases, events, when your emotions, even overflowing ones are right and acceptable and suppressing them, could be dangerous. Because realistic or not Marcus Aurelius and Seneca and the other stoics idea was not just watching the world and letting things happen, shrugging a shoulder and say nothing, no! Their philosophy and aim were to eliminate the bothering things which not let you think calmly. And since we are talking about philosophy the reality of this in practice is secondary. Critics also think ( and maybe the modern stoicism is going in this direction) that a hardcore stoics care only about themself and their egos while Seneca says friendships are important and in general most stoics accepted positive feelings (to a certain extent).
Stoicism comes back to life mostly in psychotherapy around 1900 by Paul Dubois ( before him there was another new wave of stoicism in the 16th century) and that’s where Victor E Frankle is connected to this topic. I haven’t read his book yet but I know his method is called logotherapy (logos= meaning) and this was born in the deepest existential crisis when his whole family was killed in a concentration camp and he felt he had remained only one personal freedom, the way how he reacts to the circumstances. Frankle invented his own method so he is not just planted some ancient in the modern world but he in fact thought Socrates and his philosophy is his inspiration. I won’t talk about this more until I read his book. 
* I wanted to listen to the whole podcast again, but I couldn’t so I just went to the part we care about now.
So they are talking about morning routines and he mention that one of his teachers in primary school said to him “Always expect the unexpected” This is pure stoicism and while I am not suggesting he is lying I noticed he likes to blend his current interest with his childhood memories like when he said at the WitcherCon how they had to build a fantasy castle in the school (or something) and this was such good preparation for him because he has a fantasy series now. Convenient right?
So he mentioned the teacher and a little later hinting that he is into stoicism lately. Question is, which comes first? The teacher with the stoic idea or the stoicism as a new interest somehow repainted his childhood memories? 
Then he again is talking about the stoic’s way of control. Or does he? 
“ focusing on the thing you can control and make yourself better to control them” 
This was never part of the OG philosophy because that is not about being a control freak. It is actually the opposite. If you cannot control something let it go, not force things to go on your way and if you failed then you let go. 
The next part it’s not about this topic but I have to mention it because I kinda overlooked it when I listed this at the first time.
He is asked about the fitness industry’s mistakes and he said
“I wouldn’t be the kinda person to point my finger at anyone and say there is a big mistake there…. I wouldn’t ever want to point to finger at anyone saying there is a mistake “
So… should I insert the FO post here? And I know the question and the answer was about fitness but he clearly has no problem pointing fingers at people. 
This leads to us again to the control topic. His FO post is creaming about controlling. “ You don’t like the way I am dating? You don’t like I have a covid romance? Then I will tell you what to do and how to behave because I need to have control over my fandom”
When the host asked him about overcoming obstacles he mention the book - Victor E. Frankl Man's Search for Meaning. (he also said it’s difficult to give advice…)
While he is talking about the book (and for me, it’s clear that the host doesn’t give a damn about this) so HC’s whole tone is changed. Just compare when he is talking about MT and training and so on, he is so irritating and unlistenable but here he is calmer, doesn’t use his voice so expressively, doesn’t emphasise that much in a sentence etc. This to me shows he is actually craving after something more, something deeper, something serious. Not just talking about his ties and blueberry smoothies. I don’t think is dumb (I think he has dumb choices thought) I think he could be more both as an actor both as an individual because when he was talking about the book I felt he has a true, genuine interest and it was a one-second opportunity to talk about something interesting not just fart powder.  
I feel his interest in stoicism is an attempt to validate why he is oppressing his feelings. I am sure he does this because he is uncomfortable with his feelings, past and present. For example, I think instead of the bullying his main trauma is being sent away from home to a boarding school and experiencing cold treatment from his mom (the infamous stop calling story). But he oppressing this because I guess all of his brothers he is looking up to loves their mom and he feels he needs to be a good son but questioning his mom means he is a bad one. So instead of admitting that he is hurt and damaged by it he is saying the bullying was his worst experience. 
This means to me he doesn’t understand stoicism, ancient or modern he just wants and moreover, he needs something he can hold and cling to, something that gave himself meaning. As a book’s title says: Man’s search for meaning. And I feel HC does this maybe a little bit desperately. Searching for the answers and this moment he thinks stoicism is the key to finding what he is looking for while in reality, the main problem is he doesn’t ask the right questions. And without them, he won’t find any answer. Or meaning. 
Title quote from Seneca

yikes, m8: the century that was 2021
if i had to pick one word to describe my 2021, it'd have to be "disorienting". what a fucking paddling that was, and not in the "aw yiss" kind of way.
let's see... what the blistering hell-potato happened here?
january: i was working full-time, and applied for j-school, and saw an immigration lawyer, and tried to get my employer to sponsor me because the state sponsorships were fucked because pandemic. i wanna say we were still working from home at this point? yeah, we were, because i was home when after 18 months of pissfarting around, bosspeeps were finally like "hmm yeah nah we're happy with you but sponsorship sounds Too Hard, we're cool tho rite?" insert renewed suicidal ideation here. *exhausted pompoms* Kiddo started last year of primary school! holy shit!! lupin started Job 2.0: The Same Job, But With Even More Awesome/Hours (they're a gardener/librarian at a primary school and honestly who could be cooler than that?? not me).
february: i think we were working from the office again? i wrapped up at Workplace two weeks before starting at Uni. offered to do casual work for them but they weren't into it. ah well. had Kerfuffle getting uni documentation squared away but we got there. Kiddo and mr six went fishing. it was super cute. we still have a whole-ass dead snapper in the freezer from that?? LESS CUTE.
march: Uni started and proved both FUCKING HIGH INTENSITY JFC and also really cool. Workplace was like "uh so we know you offered to do casual work after you left and we weren't into that buuuuut it turns out we kind of don't actually have enough people, how do you feel about casual work". i'm a broke-ass immigrant, how the fuck you think i feel?! great! i feel great! sign me up!! i think maybe we had more lockdown? honestly hard to keep track at this point. [eta nope that was feb we had lockdown. sigh.]
april: we went on holiday to Relatively Nearby Holiday Destination. we stayed in a cool airbnb. i did a lot of homework while we were there because j-school is bananahammers. lupin and i went to a farm and hung out with animals, most of whom were chill and some of whom were stupid cute.
may: school?? idek
june: like may but colder so the cats were cuddlier. more lockdown. got the first appointment i could to go back on ritalin -- late november. YEAAAHHHHH
july: i got nothing
augtember: l o c k d o w n, walks at Nearby Park and duck watching with Kiddo, lots and lots of remote learning for me and Kiddo, remote work for mr six, lots of hangouts with our lil triad + our platonic bff. got into DE and DE tumblrness around then i think? definitely the year's most dopamine-rich, creatively and interpersonally rewarding highlight. thanks team. <3
november: got back on ritalin. did the best job i have ever done on lupin's hair, omg, what a goddamn Peak Moment. also the sum total of years-long pandemic and immigration fuckeries finally pushed me all the way to "ABSOLUTELY FUCK THIS, I AM NOT WAITING FOR A 'BETTER TIME' ANY MORE" re: gender stuff; in a rare stroke of unmitigated win, a clinic literally up the street re-opened its wait list after nearly a year, AND i got an appointment the next week.
december: Kiddo finished primary school whoaaaaaa. applied for a third masters program aha aha ahahahahakillme. started job searching. have some work lined up for early next year but no sponsorship yet. set up consult for top surgery! started on T! holy shit!
so... yeah. A Lot. grateful my family is safe and healthy; grateful for partners who are joys even in lockdown; grateful Kiddo is on track to go to secondary school (she has Issues and it's awesome to see her making choices and getting supports that let her thrive); grateful for friends and DE times; grateful to have created stuff for school and for funsies. absolutely fucken shattered to be facing "go back to school AGAIN or be forced to leave the country and your partners and child" on a march deadline. it's not great. the dream would be for the state or an employer to go "ooh hang on we wanna sponsor you" in the meantime, buuuuuut it hasn't happened so far, so. add in the dizzy joy of finally getting gender-affirming care after 20 years of trying to just Get By and it's. yeah. disorienting.
but not bad. i'm gonna grab the good with both hands and pull myself through to the next thing, and the next, and i'm gonna figure it out as i go, dammit. thanks for coming this far with me, and hopefully, there will be better things to say about 2022.

Hello Undine, Kewpie Anon here!! Indeed, we are the same person. FOR I TOO WENT TO JP SATURDAY SCHOOL! It's super cool to know that you did too!! See, I once helped a writer with a fic about a Japanese American character. But I'm Japanese-Australian, *not* Japanese-American. So as I was helping them, I was all, "Oh, your character could go to a JP saturday school....that is, if those are common in the US, which?? Probably?? Idk I'm not American" so it's nice to see confirmation. I had my JP sat school in my primary school library and it was run/taught by the JP mothers. Alas, we didn't learn much cause we kids were little shits.
I haven't completed any JP novels, but I did dabble in the JP version of Howl's Moving Castle! It was cool to see how they translated it from the English. Like you, I was more drawn to video games, manga, anime, etc. In fact, anime is how I retained my fluency. When I entered primary school, my English was going up, but my Japanese went down, down, down...then I found my sister watching しゅごキャラ on way back in the old days of OG Crunchyroll and the rest was history. Any Japanese vocabulary I didn't know, I just looked at the subs, and that's how my vocabulary went up. It also fixed my カタコト to the extent that I sounded native. I had little access to manga though, and I never went to school in Japan, so my kanji skills dwindled...until last year when I got addicted to 剣が君. That game is set in the 江戸時代 so the ハードルがめっちゃ高い😭😭 but I persevered for the beautiful art, great writing, and romance!! I recommend it even for non-otome gamers.
Thank you for all the recommendations!! These look great, and I'll def be on the lookout when I go to JP next (whenever that will be). Since you seem drawn to mystery, I think you might enjoy 薬屋の独り言 which is a light novel/manga series that I adore. Also, the protagonist is SO asexual. I love her.
And omg I never knew about ケータイ小説...EXCEPT THAT I THINK I DO. When I was a kid, my mum bought me one of those THICK monthly shoujo magazines at Narita airport (it was なかよし, iirc). One of the manga was about a girl who wrote stories on her cell phone, and how she was living a double life as a cellphone novelist and a high school student...okAY I JUST FOUND IT OMG IT'S CALLED 「わたしに××しなさい!」 which....uh, is certainly a *unique* title for a shoujo manga meant for young girls?? But that's Japan I guess; I still remember watching old school キューティーハニー as a kid and just seeing uncensored おっぱい, which would never be a thing on Western kid shows lmao. (Though tbf, キューティーハニー is also aimed for adult men.) Also, I'm cackling, the English localisation for わたしに××しなさい!is...'Missions of Love.' You and I BOTH know why they did not do a literal translation of the JP title. But man, this is SO wild. Now I have the context which kid me missed, which is super cool! Thanks for that!!
Also, I think it's so cool that you're learning how to handwrite kanji!! It's no doubt really hard, but also will be very rewarding, so I'm cheering for you :))!!
I'm loving our JP-diaspora grey ace biromantic solidarity as we go all out in Japanglish. (Yes, this is so exciting). Hope you have a great week!
- Kewpie Anon
(Also yes please send me the link to バラエティー番組.....👀🏴‍☠️)
KEWPIE ANON HELLO 💙💙
I guess you must be my Australian twin then!! Oh, how exciting; I had no idea that Japanese schools were a thing in Australia!! The state that I live doesn't have a huge Japanese population, but we have two Japanese schools; I attended one from kindergarten all the way through high school graduation. My Japanese school seems that it was a bit more established than your school, maybe? It was a legit school with legit teachers (though many of the teachers were my classmate's parents because it just so happened that they all decided to teach at the school) and about a hundred to two hundred students. I definitely relate to the library thing though. My Japanese school didn't have a 'set' location for the longest time back when I was younger. We had classes in an Art museum because they lent us the space, and when that fell through we met in a church, and we also had classes in an actual school... And then eventually, my school got a partnership with a private school to permanently have our school there on the weekends. I know that there are tons of other schools too! I saw all of the yearbooks in the Japanese consulate. I also used to attend a school in Japan over the summers when I was in elementary school and in the country — and there was a person in my class who spent a few years in Chicago, which has a massive Japanese population. Apparently she attended a Japanese school that was Mon-Fri! Crazy!!
Yet another reason why we're twins, my dearest Australian doppleganger kewpie anon: I'm also super into otome games?? I've primarily played the ones by Voltage, but I've dabbled in some other ones too. I've never heard of 剣が君 though, I'll have to check it out 👀. No wonder why Japanese people know so much of Japanese history; it's so integrated into pop culture. It's definitely a lot harder trying to understand what's going on when the game itself uses archaic words and phrasing!!! I've played a couple 乙ゲー that were centered around Japanese historical figures (obviously it was like 坂本竜馬 and the 新選組 because those are super popular), but because I don't know much Japanese history, most of the significance went RIGHT over my head lol. Thanks for your reccs, I'll be sure to check them out at some point!! (My mom has been trying to get me to read Howl's Moving Castle for years. Maybe I actually will).
It's such a massive pain trying to play them in Japanese and not English though omg. I refuse to play them in English because the translations! Are! TERRIBLE!! But also the Japanese versions aren't always accessible and ughh. Seriously, #Japanese-English bilingual problems.
わたしに××しなさい!actually sounds super familiar. I don't think I've ever read it, but I think a friend of mine did. And yes, Japanese media tends to push the line a bit more hahahahahahaha "missions of love" is SUCH a different title.
Though speaking of which, have you ever thought about how bad titles get translated from Japanese to English, and vice versa?? Because I do. A lot. Obviously Missions of Love is one example. I've also actually ranted about Fire Emblem: Three Houses and how the Japanese title is SO much cooler here. But then again, any sort of movie title that is translated to Japanese is ALSO really bad, like how Frozen is translated to アナと雪の女王 or Despicable Me is called 怪盗グルーの月泥棒.
I've never read なかよし, but I definitely know what you're talking about!! I read チャオ!back in the day. This is bringing back so many memories wow, I completely forgot about those super thick books with hundreds of manga that I never actually saw the resolution for.
For the バラエティー番組, go look on https://miomio.info/ it has like ALL of them and updates literally like an hour or so after it airs in Japan. There was another version that was almost the exact same that got taken down, but it's back up and I'm SO happy. I watch 水曜日のダウンタウン、マツコの知らない世界, and ロンドンハーツ weekly. They even upload 特番 too! And I believe this website also has a link to the drama version of the site, not just the バラエティー.
Hope you have a great week too~~~ thanks for stopping by!!

Hi zuuuuuu! No problem at all about disappearing! I keep telling ya, its no worries.
I'm sorry that I took so long to reply.
Oh it was! I spent many days as a kind in that forest school. We used to play a game called 123 where are you? Which I actually won! Cheated the system, it was amazing and no one saw it coming bruh.
Building dens was amazing! Once when we were being taught about ww2 the teachers had us build dens that we would need to run too when they played a fake air raid siren. I really miss that school sometimes.
What's your favourite memory of primary school Zu?
Ohhhh sewing lessons? You know I did used to go to a sewing club, I made an embroidery of a house for my grandad! He still has it. What kind of things did you make? It still sounds like it was fun!
Yesss! Perfect! Maybe his cat can have alittle jumper with a strawberry on it!
Yeah! The lights don't change colours, but they all light up and shine really bright!
Ah I see, my parents house is full of noveltys, the metal chicken, Hall of heads, mums mushroom collection..... The list goes on.
Well I haven't got the job yet, but it's for a shop called greggs! Do you have this? It's kind of similar to my first job so I'm hopeful.
Yeah he's alright! No throwing up, though.... I went through the bathroom bin and ate some sanitary products.... Dum dog *face palm*
oh wow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR GRANDMA!
That sounds so lovely! Having everyone together! What kind of things did you guys do? Or did ya just talk?
Either way it sounds like you had a good day.
oh! The wizard of oz! Oh that one's a classic, the feet really used to scare me in the movie. Who's your favourite character /part.
As for me? I love the Far Away Tree stories! Mother used to read them to me.
Do you know this book? There was just something about it I always loved.
Today my day was good! It was actually really hot today! Nice and sunny for once. My friend came into town and we were able to meet and get ice-cream!
I got a Mr whippy! Have you had this? Its such a classic right!?
We've talked about ice cream before, but what's your favourite ice-cream topping? Me and them also talked alot about nightmare and dream and there character development and also my headcannons about ccino's origin.
We also talked about creepy pastas......... No sleep for me tonight. XP
[after this]
Hi Gayfish! Thank you <3 same here, no worries (ówò)
Ah so that was some kind of forest school? *^* Now I can relate! Oh wow– is this game like hide-and-seek? (゚∀゚) Heheh nice play! >:3
That's a really cool experience! ☆ In safety lessons, we were told how to act in emergencies as well and even taught to (dis)assemble a rifle. Hopefully we'll never use this knowledge ("ó_ò)
Ooff, all my time in primary school was spent in olympiads and competitions, for I participated wherever I could and am "very proud" of my dusty folder full of certificates XD What about you? *^*
Awww that's really sweet! <3 We embroidered patterns on clothes and bags but it wasn't as fun as using my grandmother's sewing machine to make clothes for dolls (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) By the way, what hobbies did you have before drawing? ☆
Wow— all these noveltys seems like having a cool backstory *^* Especially the hall of heads, like omg, whose heads?? :D
Aw you're going to work at the bakery? \(//∇//)\ It's so cool! It'd be so interesting to see the inner working (*⁰▿⁰*) Was your first job also in a bakery/cafe? I'm sure it'll be great, good luck! <3
Ohhh guess he'll be alright for sure! :')
Thank you! <3 We were gonna go somewhere but it was raining heavily outside so we enjoyed the food and conversation inside xp
I haven't watched the movie but the parts where Ellie (Dorothy in the original?) meet her new friends with different wishes were really interesting! As for the Far Away Tree stories, I've never heard of this book but looks interesting, sone good classic like Winnie Pooh? *^*
Aww I'm really glad you had a good day! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) Is it that ice cream van? \(//∇//)\ Oh we don't have it here but it is a classic indeed! <3 In different movies as well (like Despicable Me 2 :D) What kind of ice cream did you get? My favorite topping is caramel~ And yours? ☆
What are your headcanons about Ccino's origin? (゚∀゚)☆ Oh these creepy pastas,,, xp
How are you doing today? ♡

8:02 am
Im going out for a walk with the dogs so I'll wait to come back home for weight myself. When I went to dinner yesterday I started to have really bad hungry pain and I was like "lmao you deseeve it for the mess you did" but fr I was happy because this means that even if I ate more that how I planned my body needed more.
As I said I dont answer in the replies under my posts because this is jot my primary blog, but thanks for who spent kind words for me 💗 and for who ask what exercise I do I mainly spend hours on a cyclette my father bought somme years ago, Im 25 and Im jobless rn so I dont have school and I spend entire hours on that thing.
Today should be a good day, I will eat an omelette with protein cheese and some salmon for lunch, me and mom will try to do strawberry ice scream with strawberries and some yogurt, and for dinner I have a soup that should be delicious. If the number on the scale will be fine I will maybe eat a biscuit eith coffee after lunch but who knows.
10:00 am
The number is the same as yesterday and Im so disgusted. Im taking a little break from exercising but holy shit, I will do it exactly as I said. Im honestly exited to go for a walk today, I hope to have enough energy for do it.
Im honestly thinkjg this weight I gained back its just water since I dont really drink enough, and Its really strange that because I ate a little more at dinner (still in deficit) I took back almost 1kg. Wathever, I'll still do the cheat day on saturday because even if I feel the nees to cry when I think about it I know its important.
Oh I forgot to say that I tried the white monster and I love it! So I'll buy it again and use it during the day when I want to binge.
11:22 am
Burned 1000kcal, the scale still said 60,4kg but now im gonna prepare a tea or something.
4:46 pm
I went out for the walk, and then I did ice cream with mom when I came back (only strawberries and yogurt and sweetener, it was delicious and healthy, not too many calories so it will become a safe food this summer). Later mom will exercise too so I will do it again probably lmaooo.
I also sent a voice message to my bff explaining her my problem, it was not that bad back in february so she didnt noticed last time we met.
5:27 pm
Nevermind I feel so full because of that ice cream, I want to cry and mom is not helping, fuck...
9:30 pm
Burned a total of 2000kcal, eaten 782, idk where I found the energy for do all of this but tomorrow I will not exercise, just bring the dogs out for a walk.
My mood is still not the best but Im happy I found a healthy, low cal and delicious thing for the summer. Watch me replace entire meals with just that, omg what a dream.

“watch your tongue or have it cut from your head”
Do you post to say happy birthday on other people’s walls? Sometimes. Depends on my mood and the person. When was the last time you saw a rainbow? Idr. What’s your favorite television commercial? I don't watch TV enough at all to have one. And who has a favorite commercial, anyway? Do you trip a lot? I don't really trip a lot, but kinda fumble over my footing and stray a bit. I'm horrible at walking straight, and it's gotten worse as my legs have. How old is your television? The one in the living room is god knows how old. My parents were still together when they bought it. When did you last talk on the phone with someone? A couple days ago for my appointment with my psychiatrist. Are you currently sleepy? I'm quite convinced I'm permanently tired. Are you hot or cold natured? I am ALWAYS fucking hot, ugh. Do you take any advanced classes? I took mostly Honors classes in school. Do you have weak upper body strength? My body is just weak as a whole. What is the worst insult someone can call you? Emotionally weak. Are you good at sketching? If we're talking meerkats, haha. They're the only complex thing that I can freehand no problem without needing a reference, honestly. Ever play Angry Birds? Nah. I thought the movie was cute, though. Have you ever been to the zoo before? Yeah. Has anyone ever been weirdly obsessed with you? No. Are you afraid someone might steal your identity someday? It's not something I actively worry about at all. Like, you don't want my identity, I promise. Do you have any talents that come naturally? Growing up, adults always told me I was a "gifted" artist and writer. Also that I seem to have an unnaturally strong connection with animals. I've always been that person where a pet's owner is like "omg ____ never lets people do that" and whatnot. Have you ever had plastic surgery before? I haven't. It's funny though, how opposed to it I used to be... Like goddamn, I was such a fucking stupid and honestly judgmental teenager, regarding many things. I look back on her and cringe. Like damn dude, if you have a safe surgical procedure to help you enjoy the body you're stuck with the rest of your life, you go for it, boo. Are you afraid of airplane rides? Not really. What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift you’ve gotten? There was this one year where Jason had to go to work on Valentine's Day and I was super bummed, yet he still surprised me with a heart-shaped box of chocolates, roses, and a game I really wanted, Heavy Rain. I thought it was the sweetest. What is something you lose often? My phone. ;-; Do you enter a lot of sweepstakes? I don't enter any.

Yes, for dance. When (if ever) was the last time you went to church? Forever ago, I don't even remember the last time. What's a quote you think is really powerful? There's a whole lot. The first one that came to mind was, "An eye for an eye will leave the world blind," which I do believe has great depth in it. Have you ever had to do your laundry at a laundromat? Yes. Are you the oldest person who lives in your household? No. My mom is turning 60 (... I think?) this year. If you have tattoos, how long have you had them? I got my first the day I turned 18. Do you and your dad have similar personalities? We're alike in some ways, imo most notably in that we have NO fucking common sense, embarrassing as that is to admit. We're both kinda slow at understanding things, too. What were the last three things you had to drink? Mountain Lightning, milk, and water. What did your family usually do for Easter when you were a kid? Us three kids all got Easter baskets full of stuff, and we'd go egg-hunting when we were all awake. My little sister Nicole would always wake our parents up in excitement, haha. My parents hid plenty throughout the house, and there was always this one "special" egg that was actually from Mom's childhood and was extremely intricate and beautiful. You basically "won" the hunt if you found it, and it was extremely well-hidden. When you have house guests over, where do they sleep? Historically since living here, my two half-sisters and their spouses (the only people who've stayed over) slept in what is *technically* Mom's room, but for whatever reason this woman still insists on sleeping on the couch in the living room, I guess because she's used to it after all the years she didn't have her own room and bed. Are you emotionally stable? LOLOOLOLOOLLOLOOLOOLOLLOOLOLLLLLLLLLLL Do you still talk to the very first person you had sex with? No. Are you an atheist? No. I don't quite know how to define what I am, but since I believe there's SOME higher power, I don't think it's fitting to call me an atheist. What’s the largest bug you’ve ever found in your house? Hm... I'm unsure. Probably a male mosquito, 'cuz them bitches are big'ins. Would it annoy you if a stranger called you "sweetie?" If it was a man, I'd be creeped out. Are you into fashion design? Not really. What’s the worst thing you’ve gone through in the past year? My leg muscles continuing to degrade, honestly. I have to do something about this shit. How did you get your last bruise? I fell when stepping over the stupid dog gate. Have your parents ever forgotten your birthday? Yikes, no. Would you rather have some bacon or beef jerky? Bacon. Do you like your orange juice with lots or no pulp? NONE. Do you wear skinny jeans? Back when I wore jeans, they were the only kind I wore. What projects are you doing now for school? I'm outta school. What’s the most number of comments you have on a Facebook picture? What is the picture of? I have no idea. Do you like coconut flavored things? No. Have you ever met a famous author before? No. Do you know anybody who has been raped before? No, thank god. I know someone who might've almost been, though. I don't know what the fucking pig was going to do to her if my sister and I weren't there. Have you ever wished for bigger boobs? No. Being overweight, I just want smaller ones now, haha. Have you ever gone a full day without interacting with another person? I've gone many days without it. How many relationships have you been in that lasted less than a year? Four, if you're counting everyone that had the "boyfriend" title. Where were you going the last time you were on a plane? Home from Illinois. Where were you going the last time you were on a train? I've never been on one. Have you ever been significantly more physically fit than you are now? Holy fuck, yes. You would never guess now that I was perfectly healthy in high school especially, yet I still thought I was kinda fat. It hurts so much to look back on. When growing up, did you parents keep the house very tidy? I mean not excessively, but Mom was pretty dedicated to keeping the house in decent condition. With three kids though, of course the house was somewhat messy with toys and all. When you shop at IKEA, do you always stop to eat a snack/meal in the cafeteria? ... There's a fucking cafeteria in a furniture store? o_o I've never been there before. How many watches do you own? None, save for one in my "treasure box" from when I was a kid. I was SO SO SO obsessed with Finding Nemo that I kept my broken one. I did the same with my horribly aged sneakers, like the soles were coming off and Mom finally made me stop wearing them, ha. Are there any ways in which you greatly differ from everyone else in your family? I do fucking nothing and am useless to society. Should teenagers be allowed to have their cell phones with them in class? Yes, because emergencies happen. I personally think it's best to maybe have your cell phone flipped over on the corner of your desk or something and on vibrate, that way the noise isn't too disruptive and the teacher can see you're not just using it for other purposes. Do you have any gay relatives? Yes. Have you ever had to have a pet put down? Sigh, multiple. Have you unfollowed, deleted, or blocked anyone on social media recently? If so, what was the reason? Not recently. How many cups of coffee do you typically drink per day? None. Do you know what your vocal range is? No, but it's not very broad. What’s the biggest financial mistake you’ve ever made? I haven't been in this position before. Have you ever been in a relationship where there was a large difference in maturity levels? No. What’s the longest you’ve ever stayed as a guest at someone’s house? I wanna say over a month while we were technically homeless. How bad was your acne when you were a teenager? Oh dear, it was rough. Like there were people who had it worse than me, but ya girl was lookin preeeetty rough lmao.

Honestly I- I was shook too like what😭 I was all like “what kind of an unholy word are we living in and how the hell did you have an access to this unholy thing”
Tumblr media
Another time she sent this and only wrote “u” below I was like
🤨
i hope you aren’t the owner of this edit or i’m disowning you
In conclusion we’ve got a good Dazai-Kunikida dynamic😂 Love her so much tho
AND YES AJXNSLXN I SAW THAT- please that’s adorable😂💕 gotta adore the lovely friends who have to deal with our passionate selves😭
Ahh that’s so great🥺 But yeah, make sure you warn her beforehand, it could get really triggering🥺
Omg you MEMORISE THEM TOO? Woah😭 I think the only poem we ever memorised was our national anthem in primary school- But it at least gave you more depth for Blue Bamboo so that’s awesome hehe😌 And that sounds so hard omg😭 But I find that it’s so useful for the brain and comprehension skills too which also sounds awesome :o
And I really enjoy learning about them, yes🥺 When we do them in class, first they let us alone with the original poem, and of course we don’t understand anything because if the poem contains, let’s say, 200 words, only 20-25 of them are still in use today. In fact, there was a certain point in the history where we started to use so so many words from two other languages (not telling them explicitly because that’d probably publicly reveal a lot about mine🥲but anyone who knows a bit about this certain literature has already understood it so RIP) because the poets thought those words would serve better to express what they wanted to express, and the mixture of these 3 languages formed the literature language in the country for a long time. We’re talking about roughly from the 11th to the 19th century, by the way. But in the 20th century, a movement started and its main goal was to eliminate the influence of the foreign languages on our literature, they defended that we should be creating our works with our modern language (which I pretty much agree with).
So now, when we look at a poem from for example 17th century, we don’t understand it not only because it’s written in old language but also because it’s not even in our language. But when the teachers give us the translation, it allows me to see how they perceived the world, the human emotions, and it kind of makes me feel a beautiful connection with my country in those centuries, I guess? The awareness that it’s my culture is so attractive for me as well. When I read things from other cultures, sure I like them objectively very much, but here, subjective emotions come into play too, I suppose? It makes me feel closer to it even when I don’t understand a word in it. I always feel like emotions were purer back then. And when I have a version of it which I understand, it makes me rejoice so much. So I may say that it kind of creates the connection between us, the ‘modern’ individuals and the ‘historical’ culture/people. I really hope this all makes sense haha, this turned out so long omg I’m so sorry😖
And yes!! I’m pretty fluent in it, and I really enjoy learning it so, SO much omg it could be my favourite language to learn or talk or write in. I’m literally so passionate about everything about it (why are we like this in everything we do I swear-). And oh you studied it too?? That’s awesome!!🥰 We could try talking in it some time if you’d like👀
And aaaaahhh French literature is AWESOME you should definitely give it a try. It’s definitely among my favourites, if not the favourite. I recently read La Bête Humaine (The Beast Within? The Human Beast?? I still don’t know how it was published in English) from Émile Zola and I was shook oh god, it was so raw, so wild… and I found it really beautiful, I’m honestly slowly falling in love with the naturalism movement. I really recommend Flaubert too, he’s really a master of realism, I love him so much. Hugo, if you’re into romanticism (which I’m.. pretty much not😭) And there’s Molière, the comedy master, I’m honestly HEAD OVER HEELS in love with his witty humour; and in terms of philosophy there’s Rousseau, Descartes, Beauvoir; AND OH THE POEMS Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine AAAAAA THE LIST COULD GO ON FOR HOURS- I- I CAN’T😩😩😩
And French classical music/art movements is a WHOLE other topic that I won’t even get into, or this ask will become a novel.
Anyways🤭 Oh I see! That’s really interesting, maybe🤔 I also heard that it was so beautiful, I’m looking forward to reading it some time😌
This is long overdue and this ask has been sitting in my ask box for a while, my apologies. And please that picture, I'm sorry I can't help but burst out laughing when I see it hahaha. And to be in the face of such a genius such as Mozart, I would be shy too honestly😳
And yes omg, I appreciate her so much T^T. My friend has been busy though it seems, she's been busy with courses, I miss her😭. And yes ahh I did warn her no worries, I warn her everytime she talks about it😳 I think she gets the point by now haha
And ahh that's actually pretty cool! But that also sounds so complicated at the same time. I can't even begin to imagine having 3 languages integrated into a single type of literature. And only that little of the words can actually be understood? I- wow😳 And yeah, I can totally understand the movement and its intentions, and honestly, I agree with it too, even though I have a very limited understanding of this topic.
And that must feel really weird :0 to know that it is from your culture but to have languages that you don't understand in it. And don't worry, I get what you mean! It's like you're able to communicate with the people of the past as they bring you messages and lessons that they learnt! T^T and it's honestly kind of a treasure honestly.
From what I know the old Chinese language changed to the current one during the May Fourth Movement (Also known as the New Cultural Movement), I believe. Of course, the May Fourth Movement included more than just the change of the languages, but that might be one of its biggest accomplishments. So during that time, the modern Chinese language is already used in speaking and writing as well during that time, but it was not the language used to officially spread ideas during that time. The May Fourth Movement one about moving away from traditional ideas and intellectual thoughts, such as Confucianism. Don't take my word for it, but from what I remember that I have learnt, I think that they wanted to do so because they (the students of the time) believe that it was such ideas that lead to China's downfall after the first world war in the Paris Peace Conference in which it wasn't able to claim some of its original lands back (the land is the Shandong region, which was given to Japan instead); and before that as well in which it suffered much humiliation from the weak Qing (or in English would sometimes be written as Ch'ing) government. And so, this movement kind of promoted the use of vernacular language in writing rather than using what we call "bahuai". This made the written language much easier to understand.
Sorry, I just went on rambling and gave you a history lesson there😅 At first I was going to talk about it briefly only because of... but all well, I guess my history-loving side came out haha
And honestly, I find that so amazing:") And well yeah, I only know very little French, unfortunately... I was learning it when the pandemic hit and I couldn't have any more lessons sadly...
And please, your passion for French literature is making me want to read them too ahh. There are just so many books I want to read gshsjs. And Rousseau, of course, I know him from studying the French Revolution period before haha, along with Voltaire and Montesquieu. Well I know of them, but I'm not very familiar with their ideas though unfortunately :")
And please don't worry Req haha, your passion is very energizing and it makes me really excited to talk about such things too. I enjoy it very much <3
Oh and before we were talking about I am A Cat, I actually found it in the bookstore in Chinese, and I read the description of it briefly and it talks about a story written from the cat's pov which is quite cool!

why Kaminari Denki is not the U.A. traitor (and why the traitor is actually Hagakure)
Tumblr media
thank you, anon! okay first off, my opinion of the Kaminari Traitor Theory is: nah, he ain’t. but as requested, I will break this down and refute the various arguments point by point.
this is a big compilation of various “Kaminari is the traitor” posts from 4chan (general warning btw for 4chan being 4chan), which I got from this reddit thread. some of these are clearly shitposts, but on the whole it seems fairly comprehensive, so I’m gonna use this as my primary source for theory arguments. if there are any major arguments for this theory that I missed please let me know.
also! a huge part of the reason why I don’t subscribe to this theory is that I am 1000% sure that Hagakure is the actual traitor. so the second half of this post will consist of a detailed explanation as to why I’m all-in on that theory to the point of dismissing any and all other theories. I feel like that’s worth clarifying a bit more.
so! here goes.
“his proto design is that of a villain”
lol I’m trying to think of how to put this diplomatically. this is something I see a lot, people using Horikoshi’s prototype sketches and notes as evidence for various theories. the thing is, this is shaky ground at best. there’s a reason why these are proto designs and not the final product. Deku’s proto design had emo kid hair, and proto!Katsuki was an obnoxious prep school kid lol. plans change, and thank fucking god for that tbh.
but that aside, “he looks like a villain” is not in any way a solid argument to begin with. Horikoshi has made a point in the actual story of showing that people’s preconceived notions of what heroes and villains “should” look and behave like doesn’t always line up with reality. and in this case we’re not even basing it on behavior, but solely on how he looks, which is really kind of discriminatory. by that logic, one could look at, say, Shouji, and be all, “well he’s clearly the traitor.” just because someone looks scary at first glance doesn’t mean they actually are. all in all, I don’t buy it.
“Kaminari is the only one who could have told the villains where the camping trip was being held since he’s pretty much a walking GPS”
I present to you a panel from chapter 83:
Tumblr media
literally any one of the students could have used their phone’s GPS to pinpoint their location and send it to the villains. they weren’t on any kind of communications lockdown, and even if they were, there was no practical way to enforce it. so this argument doesn’t really hold water for me. even if Kami’s quirk did work that way, which we don’t really have evidence of aside from one weird line in the USJ arc that has never since been expanded on, that doesn’t really work as evidence of him being the traitor when there are 39 other kids who could have done the exact same thing without a quirk.
“his dumbness is fake”
this is honestly the one aspect of this theory that I least understand. the thing is, this isn’t a theory. this is a what-if. it’s as if it occurred to someone one day, “lol what if he was just faking” and then this entire elaborate conspiracy headcanon was built up around that and eventually evolved into what we have today. this just doesn’t make sense to me at all. is there any evidence of him actually faking it? I feel like people just went “omg that would be such a cool twist” and then started arguing why it could be canon.
anyways I personally think Kaminari is 100% certified organic dumbass, and frankly I love him for that. where is the respect for the dumbasses of the world. Kaminari is still a great character even if he’s not secretly a JUST AS PLANNED double agent. you don’t need to make him evil for him to be interesting.
“look at his sneering face here, though”
okay yeah but hear me out: he’s a little shithead, lol. I mean, do you also think Bakugou is the traitor or.
“I edited this picture to make him look more evil, look”
okay??? lol, what. I think we can just move right along from this one.
“he didn’t bother with a costume, this must mean he doesn’t need help controlling his ability”
this I don’t get at all. a lot of the kids went into hero school not having a clear idea of what kind of costume features would best suit their quirks. that’s only natural; they’re still inexperienced. it is in no way any kind of indicator of any deception on their part. Kaminari is extremely powerful, but until recently he hasn’t had the guidance he needed to help him figure out how to harness that power better. and seeing as he has now made several modifications to his costume since starting at U.A., this argument is out of date.
“it’s scary how much traitor kaminari would make sense”
a lot of these really are just shitposts, huh? maybe I should have picked a better source. but just, like. what even is the logic here? “if he’s actually not stupid THEN HE MUST BE EVIL”? I really am trying to give this theory a fair shake you guys, even though it probably doesn’t seem that way. but this is just leap after leap. I keep thinking that I must have missed something crucial but as far as I can tell this is it.
“Monoma’s gonna copy his quirk and figure it out”
I do want to see Monoma copy his quirk, but only because seeing him go all “wheeeey” would be absolutely amazing tbh.
“reminder that kaminari thought stain was cool”
this one is actually a reasonable point. but listen, you have to keep in mind that Kaminari is a sixteen-year-old boy who gets easily swept up in the latest crazes and memes and fads. he’s naturally curious, and very open-minded and accepting, even when he perhaps shouldn’t be. but it’s as much a strength as it is a weakness, if not more so. those same traits make him the friendliest member of class 1-A (with the possible exception of Kirishima), allowing him to get along well even with a sentient cactus like Bakugou, and to stubbornly befriend Shinsou all of fifteen minutes after Shinsou announced that he wasn’t there to make friends lmao. he’s very unprejudiced, and when you put that together with how excitable he is, you can see how that might make him a bit more susceptible to getting caught up in stuff like the Stain hype train. it doesn’t make him evil. hell, even Deku had a kind of begrudging respect for Stain. I personally can’t stand Stain at all so I don’t get it myself lol, but it seems to be canon that he had a real charisma which many people were swayed by even if they didn’t agree with his ideals.
“>hanging wrist watches on the wall  - Who the hell does this”
you know what that’s a fair point too.
“his room is tacky and shows no personality”
okay in seriousness this is barely worth addressing because it’s so far of a reach, but fine. the thing is, Kaminari’s core personality is that of a typical teenage boy. that’s his role in the class. he’s just a normal guy, because you need to have some normal people around to balance out this cast of extravagant weirdos. and anyways, if we’re accusing people of being evil simply because their rooms lack personality, Ojiro and Shouji’s rooms are right. there. I’m just saying.
“he was in remedial too [on the school trip]. avoiding combat”
so were Sero, Kirishima, Mina, Satou, and Monoma. what’s more, they didn’t know that the remedial kids were going to be barred from participating in the test of courage. most of them were devastated to realize that lol. anyways so yeah this isn’t really proof of anything.
“[the night] before the attack Kaminari is clearly missing”
this is referring to this panel from chapter 75:
Tumblr media
however, there’s actually a whole chapter in the second light novel about Iida going around in the middle of the night checking on his sleeping classmates (which is actually very sweet) while also trying to find his glasses, and said chapter establishes that Iida is in fact the one missing in this scene. because he’s wandering around tucking people in and shit. Kaminari is actually the one under the pile of pillows.
anyways, this is getting long and I haven’t even gotten into the real meat of this post yet, so I’ll just address a couple of the remaining arguments real quick.
but if he’s really that stupid how did he get into U.A.” - he studied!!! also he’s not really that stupid! he can be very bright, he’s just easily distracted.
L pose – as others have pointed out, this...
Tumblr media
...is very likely just a variation of his finger gun pose, as seen here:
Tumblr media
but even if it’s not, my rebuttal for the Stain argument applies here as well. my boy loves his memes. this would have been right in the midst of all the Deika City coverage, and the PLF probably took the opportunity to throw a few poses in there. it’s probably the trendy thing on Instagram right now. in any case, what it is not is proof that Kaminari is the person who broke into the U.A. offices and stole the staff schedule in order to facilitate the League’s planned invasion of USJ. nor is it proof of Kaminari being the one who gave away the training camp’s location. 
and segueing into the second part of this post now, this, IMO, is what so many of these traitor theories are missing. if you’re trying to identify who the U.A. traitor is, these are the two incidents you need to look at. I feel like a lot of people get swept up in what-if speculation, and forget what sparked this whole notion of there being a mole at U.A. in the first place. it’s specifically because of these two attacks, which could not have been planned without the assistance of an inside person providing information to the League from within UA. therefore, if we’re trying to identify who the traitor is, these are the only two questions we actually have to answer:
who, if anyone, had the opportunity to steal the staff schedule during Shigaraki’s break-in in chapter 12, and
who was it that gave away the training camp’s location and allowed Dabi and co. to invade and kidnap Bakugou?
that’s it. this, IMO, is what the focus should be on. and here’s the thing: while we still don’t have a definitive answer for the second question, we do have an answer for the first, and Horikoshi gave it to us all the way back in that same chapter.
but before I get to that, let’s back up and revisit that memorable incident. recall, if you will, the events that took place on the day of the break-in. class 1-A voted on a class president, and afterwards, during their lunch period, the security alarm went off as a result of Tomura doing this to the door and allowing the press to swarm the school:
Tumblr media
initially, Rat Principal speculates as to whether a villain might have taken the opportunity to sneak in. but given the later incident at the training camp, as Present Mic rightly points out, it’s far more likely that there is a traitor in their midst instead. someone who had both the means and opportunity to take advantage of the chaos caused by the press, and somehow steal a copy of the staff schedule from right under U.A.’s nose.
Tumblr media
given that this same person is almost certainly the one who later on gave the training camp info to the villains as well, this narrows down the field of potential suspects to either one of the teachers, or a student from class 1-A or 1-B. obviously if it’s a teacher then it could be any one of them, so there’s really no point in trying to narrow it down. the same goes for 1-B since we’re not even introduced to them until the following arc and we have no idea what they were doing during this incident. so for now, the question becomes: which, if any of the class 1-A kids had the opportunity to steal the schedule during chapter 12?
and for the answer, we need only revisit the class president voting records:
Tumblr media
incidentally, this is something I can’t take credit for, because it was Viz’s translator Caleb Cook who originally pointed it out on his Twitter. but anyways. just in case this isn’t clear, the results are as following: 
3 votes - Deku (himself, Ochako, and Iida)
2 votes - Yaomomo (herself, and Shouto)
1 vote - Jirou, Tsuyu, Ojiro, Kaminari, Bakugou, Sero, Kirishima, Tokoyami, Mineta, Satou, Kouda, Mina, Shouji, and Aoyama
for anyone doing the math, that is... nineteen votes.
curious, for a class consisting of twenty kids. and downright suspicious given the events that take place less than an hour later. assuming that each student voted for him or herself as implied, what this means is that every kid in class 1-A is accounted for on the day of the break-in, except one. and it’s not Kaminari.
it’s Hagakure.
Hagakure is not featured in any of the panels before or after the vote, either. true, she’s invisible, but she should still be wearing her uniform at the very least. but she is very distinctively the sole 1-A student unaccounted for during this chapter. Hagakure, whose quirk is invisibility. Hagakure, who could have easily slipped into the teacher’s office during the press onslaught and taken a copy of the schedule unnoticed. Hagakure, who is also one of only two people (the other being Aoyama) whose whereabouts are also unverified during the subsequent attack:
Tumblr media
now this is where it gets really interesting. why would Hagakure’s location be deliberately withheld? especially since later on she says that she was actually with Todoroki the whole time:
Tumblr media
unlike Aoyama, whose whereabouts remain a mystery because He Is Just Like That, Hagakure freely discloses her own whereabouts. the thing is though, if it wasn’t actually a secret, then why did Horikoshi go out of his way to omit it in the first place? there are other characters whose locations we only know because Horikoshi put them on the map. specifically Tokoyami and Kouda, who are never actually shown battling once they get warped away (at least not in the manga). yet despite this, their whereabouts aren’t a secret. it’s a deliberate choice by Horikoshi to not confirm where Hagakure actually is, and coming on the heels of her also being conspicuously MIA in chapter 12, this IMO is a huge red flag.
anyway, so now let’s fast forward to the training camp arc. now here, we do know where Hagakure ends up. specifically, she gets KOed by the gas along with Jirou. this makes her one of only two U.A. students who are not actually involved in the fighting either at the forest, or back at the lodge with Vlad. at first glance, that might appear to make her less suspicious. and it’s true that unlike the USJ arc, there is no evidence here that directly ties Hagakure to this particular invasion (though the same is true for pretty much everyone else as well). however, there are two things I would like to point out. the first is Hagakure and Jirou’s position in the test of courage lineup:
Tumblr media
directly behind Todoroki and Bakugou (a.k.a. the League’s target). this would have put her in a good position to signal to the League when to attack. note that the attack didn’t commence until Baku and Todo had reached the midpoint of the trail, which results in their decision to press forward through the forest rather than turning back toward the start.
Tumblr media
this is suspiciously good timing on the League’s part. it’s not confirmed they knew exactly when to strike -- they could have just gotten lucky -- but it’s something worth taking note of. 
and the second thing is that being so close to the League’s target would have made it difficult for Hagakure to escape without having to fight the League. and since she wasn’t alone, she couldn’t just run off and hide like during USJ. so it may be that she made the deliberate choice to let the poison gas take the two of them out instead, especially if she knew in advance that it wouldn’t actually be lethal. this gives her an alibi for the attack without putting her in the awkward position of potentially having to fight her own allies. all in all it’s making the best of a tricky situation.
lastly, here’s the thing that really clinches the whole theory for me, and it takes place a couple of days later. now remember, the purpose of this whole attack was for the League to kidnap Bakugou. they go to all that trouble, even losing three of their own members in the process. and what happens afterwards, barely two days later? the heroes track down the villains using Momo’s homing device and Naomasa’s fortuitous tip, and are able to get Bakugou back, albeit at great cost. all of that meticulous planning, only for the League to end up on the run, and with Tomura’s mentor taken captive to boot.
this seems like a huge oversight on behalf of the U.A. traitor if they knew about the heroes’ attack and didn’t think to warn the League. and the thing is, we know for a fact that every single member of class 1-A did know in advance, thanks to Kirishima and Shouto. every member that is, except two.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hmmm.
so, to reiterate. Hagakure Tooru:
has no alibi for the incident in chapter 12 during which someone stole the staff schedule as confirmed by Kurogiri in chapter 13
has no confirmed alibi for the USJ invasion
had the means and opportunity to pass along the training camp location to the villains, assuming she had a phone with GPS
is one of only two 1-A students who did not know that the heroes had tracked the villains’ location, and thus would not have been able to pass along that vital bit of info. we know that the villains were caught unawares by the heroes’ raid, so this is huge
so that’s three incidents (not counting the training camp location which admittedly anyone could have done) in which Hagakure is singled out as one of only a handful of people with no alibi during a critical moment. now granted, there are a handful of other candidates who could possibly fall under suspicion for same reasons. Aoyama’s whereabouts are also unknown during the USJ invasion, and Jirou was also knocked out during the training camp attack. however, Hagakure is the only one who lacks an alibi for all three incidents. and, crucially, she is the sole 1-A student who did not vote in the class president election, something which is never explained or even brought up but which is hidden in plain sight.
for these reasons, I pretty much have to conclude that Hagakure is the U.A. traitor. it just lines up. and for me, the difference between the Hagakure theory and the Kaminari theory is that the evidence for the former is based on actual events in the canon, whereas the Kami theory seems to mostly just be speculation about whether or not he’s secretly evil. and look, I have no idea whether or not Hagakure is evil. I have no clue why she’d be doing this. she seems nice (although it’s worth pointing out that we have no idea what she actually looks like, who her family is, or even how old she really is for that matter. her quirk is awfully convenient for being a spy). motive is definitely a big question mark here. but the fact remains that all of the evidence we have thus far points to one candidate, and that’s her.
anyways! so that’s the end of my post about the Kaminari traitor theory, I guess! basically, he is not the traitor for many reasons, but the most compelling one is that the actual traitor has already been confirmed in my book. anyhoo, this plot has more or less been on hold since chapter 98, so it’s been quite a while since we’ve had much to speak of in terms of new evidence. but as of 242 it looks like things may finally be on the move again, so that’s exciting. regardless of my opinion on the Kami theory, I’m excited that people are talking about this again, and I really can’t wait to see how things develop from here.

awwww i’m here now darling so you better feel amazing <33333
ok miss i see the subtle flex you just pulled on me, just say your team is op and go... :pp jk!! no but yeah if you’re stronger than the goddamn bosses it usually goes easily. can’t say i’ve seen those days in a while tho rip
YOU ARE MY BABY!!!!!! you could do a doodle for me and i’ll literally cry abt it until i die. ooooh that seems good tho??? especially ningguang and beidou... the ladies are making a comeback 🥴 i agree with you actually!! i’d love for chongyun to come back (so you can get his c6 mostly) and for selfish reasons i want razor to come back to... bc boy scouts. i really want the boy scouts... hope it happens soon tho 🥺
speaking of boy scouts i just got him.... xingqiu.. i felt so bad bc i know how much you want him... :( but i didn’t get any xiangling so. i lost successfully shskdhsk. also I WISH they had cross-server co-op more than ever at this moment bc then we could do our chongyun + xingqiu dates... 🥺
cluna you’re literally so cool! you work through them? help couldn’t be me. i get super annoyed and if it’s not working i’ll just let it go and write something else instead shskdhdksk. for instance, i was working on this fic two months ago and i got really far into it when i hit a writers block. so, its just been collecting dusts for months now. a couple days ago i accidentally stumbled upon it and realize the potential it had so i might pick it up sksjdkd. i was literally prepared to just let it rot like so many other fics i write. so yeah idk sometimes i just give up because it’s easier even if it hurts me bc i spent so much time writing them sjshdkdj. yikes.
right?? and when you write a fic that takes place during the day you can get inspired by the atmosphere outside!! and yes!! i have to study outside i can’t get anything done at home. i used to be able to do that when i was younger but now it feels sooo impossible. especially with online school and stuff. either i go to a library, cafe or school. although most of these are closed now so i have to book a room somewhere to study. do you have a specific area at home where you write or can you just sit down anywhere and study?
for sure!! if i had the space i’d absolutely consider buying more books. right now i just have them scattered around everywhere (even some in my makeup drawer shdjdh). do you have a bookshelf? 🥺 that’s so pretty...! what are some of your other favorites btw? oh grade school is basically class 1 to 9... so from 6 years old to 15? girl no worries i know how difficult it is to understand all of that. when my friends used to explain their countries school systems before i’d just sit like owl eyes.
THE ALBEDO FANART!!!!! during his quest i took sooo many screenshots god he’s just perfect. he’s such a gentle and sweet boy ughhhhh.... he’s been gone for 2 days and i already miss him. and xiao and aether are just... yeah... i love how everyone ships aether with the boys yet i don’t think i’ve ever seen lumine shipping fanart? let’s just say gay rights and leave it at that.
BEFORE I CLICKED ON THE LINK I HAD A FEELING IT WOULD BE THAT POST.... literally us!!!! don’t make one in america no worries!! idk why my acc was set to that lmao. i’ll make one in asia tonight and just hustle for a few weeks until i reach co-op (i think it was ar 15?) plus i really want aether so i’m kind of not so stressed about it tbh? god i’m actually so exciiiiiteeeeed...... 😭 you gotta promise you’ll help me with domains and bosses tho you’re gonna be at a much higher rank than me while i’ll just be a little nooby girl. 😭
thank you so much for the encouragement!!! ♥️
today i didn’t keep you waiting too long, hehe. i missed you too much. but you’re porobably asleep now though :( oh well, can’t wait to hear from you my love <333
hiya!! i’m still up bc i miscalculated the length of a fic chdjcnskjd and thought to check if you’d sent anything before i went to sleep!! made me v excited to see there was not only 1 but 2 asks from you hehe (also it’s 2am rn so apologies for any incoherence!!)
AHAHAH fjskdjskdn genuinely tho,,, i’m really happy with my team rn LOL. and noooo you’ll get there someday!! before your world level increases and you’re stuck being many levels below the bosses again fhdjdjkd it’s a cycle 😩
NFKSKDLAKS i wish i could manage even a doodle… drawing hair is literally my worst nightmare (along with drawing anything else tbh) and all the genshin charas have such complex layered hair ugh it’s like they don’t want me to even try. yass beiguang (idk if that’s their ship name) actual queens 👑. razor!!!! what a good boye. i love his idle animation so much, pls he deserves everything 🥺🥺 and you deserve to get the boy scouts!!! can’t wait for that day to come <33
AHHH!!!! no don’t feel bad i’m so happy for you omg… live out all my xingqiu-having dreams for me please 😩😩😩😩 our xingyun dates!!!! some day it’ll be a reality <333
DHJAJSHS nooooo fuck writer’s block 😤😤😤 but i hope you’re able to finish that fic now!! (vaguely, if you prefer) what’s it about? also i have plenty of fics/ideas just rotting too, but that’s usually bc i get caught up in a new idea which i like more ? i think? lmao so yeah i definitely do give up on my fics too omg wait do you have those fics where you’re like omg this concept is god tier i’m so big brained and then you write out a scene and then it’s like … wtf do i do with this now? HAHAHAH like my attention span is slowly too short to write any long af fics, i can’t stay dedicated or interested enough for that but a lot of the ideas i have have the potential to be those 300k 40 chapter slow burn etc etc so there are so many docs in my drive that are just. works with like 2-3 written scenes and an entirely fleshed out plan but i know i’ll never actually end up writing it bc of aforementioned factors lolllll. that’s another reason why i think about just releasing all my wips some day! so people can see all the ideas im unable to execute jfjsndns. do you [like] writing super long fics like that? i admire your tenacity if you do ahah
