𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐰𝐨: 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤

𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐜 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: the day had finally come to bring little matteo to the track. charles had been waiting for this day since he was born, but made sure to wait until you were ready. now matteo is 6 months old and his father couldn’t be more excited to show him everything he could about f1

𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: mentions of anxiety, harsh media but other than that, lots of fluff!

𝐚/𝐧: here she is! chapter two and man have the past few days been taxing on me, i’m just trying to focus on writing and ignoring everything else so, i hope your enjoying this series and are looking forward to this chapter! it’s a bit on the shorter end but i hope that’s okay, i haven’t been feeling well lately<3

𝐰𝐜: 900 ish…?

🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️

It was finally the long-awaited day, well for Charles at least, where little Matteo was finally going to be heading to the track to watch the grand prix. Well technically you had agreed to qualifying day and if all went well then you would come back for the race on Sunday. It wasn’t like you didn’t want to bring your baby boy to watch his father do what he loves, you were still just an anxious new mom, and your husband knew that.

“Okay, extra bottles…his pacifier, pluto the dog”

“Baby, I think you have everything..”

Shaking your head you paused

“Charles, I need to make sure I have everything because if I don’t and he freaks out I-I just”

“Whoa..okay..”

Charles placed his hands on your shoulders, your eyes coming up to meet his which of course were full of nothing but love for you

“Are you sure you want to come?” he asked, no hint of disappointment at all

“Yes, I do..Char I promise I do..I’m sorry I just am all over the place I suppose”

Charles nodded, understanding exactly where you were coming from, thankfully the two of you were able to have a quiet moment together as Matteo napped before you had to leave

“It’s okay, I know you’re anxious, but we’ll take it one step at a time okay? When I can’t be with you I know Joris or Marta will be right?”

You nodded

“You also know if you need anything at all you can have someone from the team get me right away right..?”

He waited until you nodded once again before pressing a kiss to your forehead

“Right…no you’re right..okay I think I have everything ready to go then”

“Good, then let’s go get the little man and head out!”

Monaco was a beautiful city, but on race week and weekend it seemed to get that much more magical. The paddock was no different, familiar faces and friends could be spotted easily, Charles’s family around as well which was perfect for Matteo

“Bonjour petit ours!”

At the sound of Arthur Leclerc’s voice, Matteo squealed as he began to wave his little arms around, the younger Leclerc brother quickly coming over and taking him from you, before leaning forward to pull you in for a hug, placing a kiss on both of your cheeks

“Bonjour chouchou”

“Hi Thur, nice to see a familiar face”

He smiled

“Yes I would think so, this year is a bit crazy, I was just about to walk over to the Ferrari garage if you want company?”

“I’d love that! Where is Carla?”

Matteo placed a hand on Arthur’s cheek as he babbled away, his little eyes looking at everything around him

“Oh she is on her way, i’m sure she’ll be glued to you both”

Ever since you’d started your relationship with Charles and had the chance to meet Carla when she came into Arthur’s life, you’d been super close to one another, it was like having a little sister all in one.

“Well he seems to be quite content to be here”

You smiled as you looked at your little one, his eyes still enamoured by the sights and noises

“I’m surprised, I was so anxious he’d be scared of everything”

“He is a Leclerc, he was born for this.”

Arthur sent you a wink as you both arrived at the garages, truth be told the comment he made had sent a bit of worry throughout you. Charles grew up karting, and it was something he had begun to talk to you about with Matteo, and you were absolutely terrified. Terrified at the thought of him getting in that little kart, terrified to watch him go fast and potentially get hurt. It was a thought for another day.

Matteo had settled back into your arms as his uncle kissed his head and then walked away towards some of his F2 friends he’d spotted, giving you time to bring your baby boy over to the garage. It wasn’t long before he let out his tell tale excited squeal, and it meant he had either spotted his father, or Max Verstappen. Matteo’s relationship with Max was something so adorable, he’d gotten close to the dutch driver from a young age, and he and Kelly had always been two of the first people you’d call to babysit, besides your mother in law of course.

“Hey there little speed demon!”

You rolled your eyes at Max as he was quick to come over and take Matteo from you

“Oh sorry Y/N didn’t even see you there” he teased

“Sure, no I totally understand, I’m virtually invisible when I’ve got this cutie with me”

Max went to rebuttal when an arm slipped around your waist and a pair of lips pressed to your temple

“Tu n’es jamais invisible pour moi, chérie”

“Aww merci bébé!”

Leaning into Charles you laughed as Max was quick to cover Matteo’s eyes

“Come on, we need to escape, too much grossness here for you baby leclerc!”

“Bring him back before quali please!”

Charles yelled as Max began to walk away, the red bull driver yelling a ‘you got it!’ back before it was just you and your husband.

“How are you feeling now?” he asked letting you lean further into his side, knowing you needed a bit more comfort, especially when Matteo wasn’t around

“A bit better, Teo’s been loving every second..I should have known everything would be okay”

“No, it’s okay to be anxious you know that, it’s his first time here…I know you’re anxious right now knowing he’s not with you”

You hated how easily he could read you, and man did he know you inside and out like a book

“He’s safe with Max, i’m sure he’s gone to see Kelly as well, if you want I can call him?” he offered which had you shaking your head

“Oh no, let him enjoy his time, though i’m sure Maman will be over soon begging to take him, I think she’s jealous of Max”

This had Charles laughing as he nodded in agreement

“Yes she was telling me the other day that he spends far too much time with Max”

“We’re so lucky aren’t we?”

“We are.”

It always occurred to you that unlike some families you would never ever run out of love, in fact you had an abundance of it. From your friends and family, to Charles’s friends and family. Matteo would always grow up with so many people around him that adored him just as much as you and Charles did.

Even if there was a deeper conversation waiting and gnawing at you to be had, it could wait for another day. Right now you only wanted to focus on your family and Matteo as he got his first taste at Formula One track life. Nothing could wipe the smile off your face seeing how happy your boys were. Charles had settled into being a father so gracefully, managing his time at work and at home in a way that had you so grateful.

“It’s almost quali..we should go find Teo”

“Good idea, Max has stolen my son enough!”

Shaking your head, Charles took your hand and began to walk towards the one spot you knew where he would be. Soon enough, you saw your little boy laughing and clapping as he was entertained by not only Max but Christian as well.

At least you knew if Ferrari didn’t pick him when he got older Red Bull would.

english translations:

Bonjour petit ours - hello little bear

Bonjour chouchou - hello sweetheart

Tu n’es jamais invisible pour moi, chérie - you are never invisible to me baby

Aww merci bébé - thank you baby

tell me who i run to (if not you) | anthony beauvillier

"The first sip is joy, the second is gladness, the third is serenity, the fourth is madness, the fifth is ecstasy." - Jack Kerouac

Summary In July of 2023, Evie looked at a list of cities in North America and rolled a die. Just like that, she packed up her life and moved to Chicago, a fresh start. The 2023-24 NHL season started well for Tito; he did not expect the call on November 28th telling him that he was being traded. To the worst team in the league. And just like that. 10 months after being ripped from his home, he had to pack up and move again. To an unfamiliar city, and to unfamiliar faces. Which is why, when Tito and Evie ran into each other, quite literally, on Christmas morning, they both latched on to a familiar face. Over the next few months, they became close friends. They didn’t talk about the nights shared in Chicago clubs. They didn’t need to. Because they're just friends. Right?

Under the cut: author's notes, tropes, warnings & disclaimer, fun tidbits, chapter summaries

Author's Notes: This fic was written for @bqstqnbruin as part of the Winter Fic Exchange 2k24 hosted by @wyattjohnston. It got so out of control long so quickly. I genuinely had so much fun writing this, it's basically my magnum opus; if you look closely, I think you can probably see my soul in there somewhere. I would like to thank @devilssacrament, @wyattjohnston, and @forgottenflowers for being my editors, holding my hand and keeping me sane in this. Also, thanks to @swissboyhisch, and @imperatorrrrr for being a sounding board for ideas . All of your help and support has meant so much to me. You are all just the fucking best, I am sorry this has been my entire personality for the past month, I will probably return to normal soon. Probably...

Tropes: a gut-wrenching mix of angst and fluff with a happy ending, slow burn friends to lover (tbh, idiots to lovers let's be real), alternating POVs

Warnings: alcohol (one instance of alcohol poisoning by side character), mature content bordering on smut (mostly occurring in clubs/public), references to a toxic past relationship. Disclaimer: This series is set in Chicago but does not mention the name of the team based there. Only other Chicago players mentioned by name are: Nick Foligno, Jason Dickinson and Connor Bedard. Other notes: NHL players featured Mat Barzal (a heavily featured supporting character/bestie) and brief mentions of Zach Hyman and Matt Martin. Assume that Tito and Evie are always speaking in French with each other.

Face claim for Evie (if you want one, but you can imagine whoever you like): Adeline Rudolph

Fun Tidbits: Original Character (she/her) called Genevieve Gignac or Evie (pronounced eh-vee) is the oldest sibling of Tito's juniors teammate and friend Brandon Gignac. Along with their other sibling Wiliam, they grew up in Montreal. Evie had been living in Toronto for six years, before moving to Chicago in the summer before the fic starts. I did way too much research so a lot of the little facts are true. Nicknames: (ma) chouette (shoo-wet): owl (mon) chou/chouchou (shoo): in practice, honey, sugar, baby, sweetheart // by definition, my cabbage or my profiterole/cream puff (depends who you ask) Solours (soul-oars): the Québécois name for the yellow Care Bear with the smiling sun on its belly Solou’ (soul-oo): a diminutive Evie decides to use

Cook, Cook, drink your tea, But save some in the pot for me. We'll watch the tea leaves in our cup When our drink is all sipped up. Happiness or fortune great, What will our future be? -- "Afternoon Tea at Pittock Mansion" by R.Z. Berry

Episode Synopses:

Blue Christmas Evie and Tito are both starting life anew in Chicago. It's an unfamiliar city with unfamiliar faces. They're both alone on Christmas. Maybe it's fate that brings them together. Jason and Alandra Dickinson are already smelling smoke from this fire.

I. Winter Tito injures his wrist in the first game of 2024, he’s out for 6-8 weeks and then his car breaks down. He thinks maybe he’s cursed. Evie becomes a shoulder to lean on. Barzy gets suspicious.

Pal-entine’s Day Tito returns her kindness by being a shoulder Evie can lean on when she is having a hard time after all-star break. She tells him it’s anxiety about work. He brings her a box of pastries and they cuddle on the couch all day; he doesn’t realize it’s Valentine’s Day. Later, a hook-up goes very wrong.

Four-leaf Clover Tito’s been playing again, and during his first stretch of away games begins to miss home. Well, Evie’s home anyway. When he sees her in the bar, he can’t help but show it. Barzy calls him out on his lies.

Evie’s Birthday Sometimes the music moves you. Sometimes the bass pounding in your chest makes you do things you wouldn’t do. Fuck it, it’s your birthday. That’s what Evie tells herself anyway. There are gifts given, but there are also secrets kept.

II. Spring Tito tries to tell her— he does— It’s just he needs to find the right time, and something keeps coming up. Evie’s honest with herself. But does that even matter? Mat decides maybe it is his time to intervene.

Not Goodbye Evie realizes that her time is running out. To do what? She doesn’t know. But she has one last night to find out. That is until— Well. It’s too late now. Tito flies home and wonders if that will be the worst mistake of his life.

III. Summer They try to get on with their summers as if nothing is wrong, convincing no one. How long will it take them to realize they can’t keep pretending like everything’s fine? And who will finally take the leap of faith?

Tito’s Birthday Tito receives the best birthday present he has ever gotten: the girl he loves standing at his parent’s front door. It was never destiny or fate; it can only be by choice. And they’ll choose each other every time. Eventually, anyway.

I finally got to sit down and finish episode one, and i've got some thoughts!!

I think that introducing garp as a big player right from the get go is a really great idea. His presence at the execution made sense, and his dynamic with roger did well to help establish both of their characterisations

Roger's actor did a phenomenal job with the eerie laugh and his complete irreverance in the face of his own death. I love how he delivered the wealth fame power speech!

It was a bit surprising to me that they showed roger actually getting killed, but honestly i'm in total approval of this direction they're taking with the live action. I really like the more brutal approach, especially because oda's refusal to kill anyone outside of flashbacks pre-marineford is one of the biggest complaints i tend to hear from people. Seeing zoro dragging around the top half mr 7's corpse was so jarring, but it was a good choice

Ilia's perfrmance as alvida was absolutely amazing. I like that they changed her catchphrase from the most beautiful woman on the seas to the most powerful

Overall, i really like the different transitions between plot points, and how this episode set things up in future arcs. All the different things that go on in shells town feel so much more better interconnected than they did in the manga. I'll go into this more in another post, but like one example of what i'm talking about is how the reason zoro allowed himself to be tied to the post was because morgan threatened that if he didn't agree to it, he wouldn't be able to collect any more bounties from any marine bases. It also gives zoro mire of a reason to join luffy - he knows that at this point there's no eay he can continue being a bounty hunter now that morgan has it out for him. So how else is he going to meet other strong swordsmen? By joining a pirate crew of course.

The shanks flashback was awesome! His dynamic with luffy was really endearing, and again i do like that they didn't have higuma attack shanks. That's one thing that never really made sense to me in the manga - i get thst yoy don't have to solve everything with violence, but there's no reason for shanks not to have fought back against someone who was attacking him, even if he did know they couldn't possibly hurt him

Also on shanks' flashback - the scene where he found out luffy had eaten the devil fruit was AMAZING. What a fantastic idea to have little luffy framed in sunlight! And the utter heartbreak on shanks' face as he realizes that there's no way luffy will ever be able to have a normal life now...

Of course, we gotta mention the snippet of Binks' Sake we heard in the scene where shanks is stitching up luffy's cut. I recognized it instantly and it made me really emotional. Love all these little easter eggs they have for long time fans of the series. In addition to this there was alsp the cavendish, foxy, and bellamy wanted posters which we knew about from the trailer

Speaking of wanted posters - what a COOL way to introduce the other pirates!

Morgan going on his monologue about capturing kuro is SO funny know what's gonna happen on a few episodes. Oda played it a lot more subtle in the manga but i like that they came right out and said it here.

And while we're talking about foreshadowing, it was a fantastic idea to include the mr 7 fight in this season! I really hope we get a season 2, just sp we can get the payoff for this great setup.

I'm a little sad that we didn't get to see the luffy and koby hug that was shown in the behind the scenes video (i think that was the one?). I really hope that wasn't cut because i loved that little scene. Maybe it'll happen later in the season?

Buggy's introduction at the end of the episode was SO good. I loved his whole vibe, with him lounging so confidently in his chair, his creepy laugh, everything. I'm excited to see the next episode! They better not have cut chouchou out 😭

So I know I’m gonna get asks about it, so I watched the first two episodes of the One Piece live action series this morning while getting ready for work. It’s fine. It’s not bad. It’s certainly nowhere near the dumpster fire Netflix’s attempts at Cowboy Bebop or Death Note were. There are some fun performances - everyone in the show is very well cast, and they all clearly enjoy their roles. Buggy in particular was very fun, although they attempted to add a layer of tragedy to his character that I don’t think really works. The show’s main flaw is that, in attempting to cram so much story into such a small space, it ultimately flattens and reduces what makes One Piece special. The pacing is too fast for character beats to have time to really simmer, which makes the whole endeavor feel rushed. Early moments such as Chouchou the dog are cut, and while those moments are largely extraneous, they’re important for establishing the emotional tone of the series, and their loss is keenly felt. Ultimately, the show, while enjoyable enough on its own merits, feels very hollow as an adaptation of the source material - and I don’t feel as if I’d feel compelled to return to it as much or as often as I feel compelled to return to that source material.

About lastest TBV chapter(8)

Spoilers !

What a mess...

The one thing to be glad about is Mitsuki's character finally moving. Finally realizing things and not backpedaling(what happened in his arc pretty much) Is what I have been waiting for since 2019.

Some points of the chapter:

So people are jumping to the Mitsuki and Eida ship so fast that makes me think they are threatened by her curiosity about Boruto, so they want to take her out of the way. I thought that convo was very similar to the one Mitsuki had with Sumire in the novels. Sarada, Sumire, Eida, all these girls had once convo with Mitsuki about their feelings and the focus ends up being Boruto. Can you really call this a shipping moment of said characters when the person they elevate is another one?

Mitsuki blushing was very cute, I wish it was for Chouchou though, but we know they hate that, right?

About his feelings for Eida. Well, we know they are fake but even so he wanted to be thankful. And I think... Why is Mitsuki always thinking he isn't able to do or feel things on his own? Is it because of the "bliss" of ignorance? Because he is very humble? Or it's because of low self-esteem? Idk man, this series depresses me. If he really can't then give me a reason why this is the case, and not just "I'm artificially created"

I wouldn't mind friendship between Eida and Mitsuki, if anything I hope her powers render useless at some point so she can have a happy life too. But I cannot see them as a couple. I ship mitsucho ofc, but even if I take that aside for a second, it's the "feel" Eida gave off at the start that made me think she was a way mature woman. Knowing about what drinks she liked, talking about liking older men and how dreamy they were, about being monogamous. Which teenager talks like that? Even Delta sounds more bratty and youthfully and she is way older. Mitsuki, on the other hand, as mature he seems, is very innocent. IDK it feels wrong? Not even in the cute way of teaching someone less experienced about life. TBH this is also the reason Code Eida felt weird for me at first, but then they confirmed they both were the same age so I guess it's fine.

Loved that thumbs up Delta, it was so cute :_:

Mitsuki is almost the same height as Eida, does that mean he is shorty like Chouchou?... I mean it's not what I wanted but I find it cute too :___:

GOD, I just know Inojin is going to be humiliated when he said "I'm going to protect you"(Like the rest of Team 10). Why does this series insist on doing him this dirty??

Even so, he reassured Hima it would be alright. It was very cute. I found it funny people hated it as if Inojin was trying to flirt with her when they ignore their relationship in the anime and novels, where Inojin holds Himawari in high regard and respect despite her being younger. You could take that moment even as friendship if you don't like the ship. People are cringe.

I HAVE TO SEE THAT BUTTERFLY MODE PLEASE, and her lightning release...

I want to take a break from the series, not just say I'm gonna drop it. I'm... Tired. Not only the series make me sad about how dirty they made mitsucho as characters and as a ship, but also the fandom is what I cannot stand anymore. Whatever the end will be, I will have to accept it, but my mitsucho... I will sink with it all together if it doesn't happen. Love them together too much, not sorry.

#rant ofc #gotta take things out of my mind

Sweet Yuri Manga Artist Turns on the Sour and Spice in 'Cats and Sugar Bowls'

On September 13, Seven Seas Entertainment released Yukiko's manga anthology Cats and Sugar Bowls (Neko to Sugar Bowls) in English digitally and in paperback.

The publisher describes the manga:

Want a little spice with your sugar? Cats and Sugar Bowls serves up nine bite-sized tales about love between women. Rena and Sanae are like a pair of naughty kitties who act far more innocent than they really are. Touka, while looking for a lover willing to indulge her more extreme fantasies, runs into her boss at a club. All these delights and more await!

Gentosha Comics published the manga in Japanese in December 2020. It forms a trilogy with Haru Harukawa After Sunrise and Rou Kawai's Girls in Hell, which released alongside it. Yukiko, Harukawa, and Kawai for the Yuri doujinshi circle Happy Yellow Rabbit, known for its anthology series Chouchou.

Cats and Sugar Bowls contains nine stories by Yukiko, many of which were previously released in other anthologies, including "One AM at the Laundromat," seen in the Japanese and English versions of the first Syrup volume. Other chapters, in order of appearance, are:

The "Cat" Trilogy

Watchful Cat

Crying of the Cat

The Phone and the Cat

Unbreakable Sugar Bowl

Silky

My Childhood Friend

Killing Time of the Butterfly

The Ogre and the Mountain God

Unlike Yukiko's longrunning series Futaribeya which is known for its cute and lighthearted, Cats and Sugar Bowls focuses on adult content and contains explicit scenes.

Check out Cats and Sugar Bowls today: https://amzn.to/3QT58DE

Instagram Blurb - As Long as You Are Series

Author’s Note: This is a longer Instagram blurb, and some of the comments actually matter! It goes to Part 4/5 of THIS series, but can be read on its own! Might make a bit more sense with an understanding of the story, but I don’t think it’ll interfere too much with your experience!

Hello Anon, this is your Oldie Chinese Diaspora Anon™️. The topic of the “Dream Fairy” dolls by DBS is going to be one of those controversies that will not fully die. There are a lot of grounds to cover here.

One thing I cannot do is to “weigh in” in the sense of putting a line in the sand. I prefer to present the facts as they stand; it is up to the individual to make the decision that they believe is right for them. To the best of my ability, I will run as succinct a summary for you as possible.

Dream Fairy is one of the many lines from DBS (DeBiShen Ltd. A Chinese toy factory.) The company works like a Mattel with different lines of dolls. Each line has the same facial sculpt with the differences focused on individually separate fashion designs. Think “different Barbies, same sculpt”.

This company known to plagiarize other BJD sculpts as the basis of their vinyl/ABS molds. The face sculpts from the 1/3 line is plagiarized from AS’s Liu Ruishi

Dream fairy:

AS:

The face sculpt for the ¼ anime line maybe plagiarized from TF’s Rita

DF:

TF:

The 1/6 lines have been plagiarized from Lina ChouCh0u (DBS Leisure Girl:

, Lina ChouChou Baby Piyo:

And SecretD0ll (DBS Dudu:

, Secret Doll Mong:

The 1/12 blind box seems to have taken their inspiration from Obitsu. But there are no direct 1:1 “original” found, yet.

There are suggestions that the facial molds were “transcribed” from legit BJD to counterfeit BJD into vinyl. Details are scant, however.

The original 1/3 bodies were highly similar to the YeL0Li (Night L0lita) bodies.The original ¼ bodies were most likely original to DBS. The new 1/3 is an enlarged version of the ¼, with minor changes.

The original 1/6 bodies were found from multiple factories. It’s tough to say who came up with it first.The “original” part of any Dream Fairy doll is the ensemble. Since they do not sell their clothes separately, people have bought their dolls for the clothes.

Best considered as “large Barbies”, their price point is a lot cheaper with similar capacity for customization, which is what makes them attractive. DBS’s history of plagiarizing other dolls has been noted by several different vendors and a good number of doll collectors. Since the release of their MT Blindbox series, several proxies have refused to carry them due to DBS’s history.

Sometimes, the decision to not carry their products were instigated by the collectors themselves:

https://x.com/hermeow_shop/status/1667536926080143360

If price point is the hook, there are several Chinese MJD companies that are completely original: Xinyi, Kurhn, YeLoLi and Monst are the examples I can think of on the top of my head that are not V0lks. If the facial sculpt is what you are interested in, there are the resin “originals” at a higher price point available. At the end of the day, whether you want to buy a DBS doll or not, the choice is up to you. They are, just as I’ve suggested earlier, a kind of “Controversial Doll”. They are not totally legit but they are also not an out-and-out recast.

As someone said, whatever you do with your money really is your choice. How other folks in the hobby decide to see you is their choice as well. Legality should never be the bottom line when it comes down to morality, after all.

What about Reimu for the character ask meme....

I just did Marisa now I have to do the most important woman in the world

General opinion/How much I care about them: GIRL OF ALL TIME. My blog is a Reimu love zone ONLY and no slander will ever be tolerated. Her impact on nerd culture and on the internet as a whole is unparalleled... (ok Miku is up there too but they're sharing the throne) She embodies the series so well and I love her so much for that. It's so good how each new installment offers a different perspective on her personality... it makes me a bit emotional to think that we've never seen who Reimu "really" is. I'm particularly interested in her role both in the current setting and as the latest in a long line of shrine maidens, and how she feels about it all. Of course I also love her silly moments and her carefree side and her desire to just live :) She makes me feel happy and then when I think about her more deeply she makes me feel like there's still an endless amount of things left to do with her character and of fanworks to create which is the best part of Touhou to me!!

A ship I love: Reimari is my favorite for the reasons I wrote in the Marisa post, but in general she's the character I most easily enjoy pairings of. She bounces off others really well and there's a bit of everything for everyone, whatever the genre you prefer I think there's a good Reimu pairing for it! Some other characters I love seeing her with are Yukari (can't go wrong with a classic, the aesthetic is immaculate and it's good food for thought), Seija (this one is uhhh. a lot. don't really have the space to detail it here), Alice (either pure angst or pure fluff like there's no inbetween lol), Akyuu (they are THE SAME and IT HURTS!!!)...

A non-romantic relationship that I love: Her friendship with Shinmyoumaru is really important to me but since I already talked about it at length I'll say Aunn! It's super cute and I love to imagine doggie Aunn snuggling up to baby Reimu when she sleeps, even though Reimu isn't aware she exists... Another excellent addition to the Reimu solar system. This girl desperately needed another pet

The NOTP: Oookay the fandom's gonna burn me at the stake for this but I don't like reisana very much anymore. It's cute and I used to enjoy it quite a lot but stuff happened and now it's just there I guess. shrugs

My biggest headcanon about them: There's so many... I think there were mementos or diaries of the past shrine maidens kept somewhere in the shrine and Reimu found them. She's hidden them somewhere else so they wouldn't be taken away or damaged by anyone.

An idea for a fanwork I would like to make/see about them: I want to make a collaborative Reimu zine with other artists/writers SO badly... I definitely think it's possible to do it on tumblr but I've already ran a bunch of events for the community and it requires energy that I don't have anymore. Maybe one day!

Something that makes me think of them: Japanese indie band chouchou!! Here's a few songs I associate with Reimu specifically: dawn and sign 0

I found a cute detail: "El sonido de la nieve" is the Spanish translation for the series's opening Yuki no Ne (雪の音), which, in English, means "the sound of snow". For comparison, this is the equivalent panel in the manga:

Moreover, "The Mineral Boy" probably references another manga by the author: "Wakamen: The Mineral Boys".

As for the other books, I don't know what they're alluding to. I'm especially curious about "doble pierna azul" (English: double blue leg)―I feel that might be an allusion to the male lead in Hibi Chouchou, another of the author's manga, but I haven't read it, so it's just a guess. Also, there's "Words on heat" and "Words on fire"? Intriguing.

[FIRST LOOK] Evelyne Brochu on the set of CHOUCHOU (2022) 🥰

CHOUCHOU is a story about Chanelle Chouinard (Evelyne Brochu), a 37-year-old French teacher, who falls in love with Sandrick (Lévi Doré), a confident and magnetic but vulnerable 17-year-old student. The series paints a nuanced portrait of two characters who lose their bearings and run straight into a wall, hiding behind the illusion of a great love story.

CHOUCHOU will be featured on Noovo in the fall of 2022.

Not Goodbye

Evie — April 20

The team has rented out the entire rooftop area of the Joy District for their end-of-season celebration. Everyone’s here: players, staff, management. Friends and family were invited to join after the private dinner.

By the time Evie and her friends arrive, it’s packed, chaotic, loud, and sweaty in the only way a group of hockey players could be. Even little Connor Bedard's having a good time despite his bright yellow ‘Do Not Serve’ wristband that he’s being ceaselessly chirped for.

Tito comes bounding over as soon as they're through the rope partition.

“Hey!” he says, giving a quick hug to Evie’s friends before picking her up and spinning her around.

“Um, hi?” she giggles.

“Hi, chouchou,” Tito murmurs privately in her ear, “I’m happy you’re here.”

He sets her down and tucks her firmly under his arm as they follow her friends to the bar. Leanne throws her a look over her shoulders, but luckily, despite her being pretty tipsy and loose-lipped already, she doesn’t say anything. Evie shrugs.

For a while, they just mingle, enjoying the company while slowly sipping on their drinks. Evie hasn’t had much to drink tonight. In her spaghetti strap mini-dress, Evie's colder than she expected to be; the only source of heat is Tito’s solid body against her side. They’re talking to Jason when Evie sidles in closer to him, prompting him to pull her in tighter.

The drag of his calloused hand over her arm sends a shiver down her spine that she couldn't suppress.

Tito stops mid-sentence and tips his head close to her ear. “You cold, Evie?” His brows are furrowed with concern.

Her eyes dart to Jason before jumping back to him. “Uh… yeah. Just a little. I’ll be okay, though.”

He doesn’t seem satisfied; he takes off his jacket and helps her into it. Jason watches on, a knowing and bemused expression on his face before he nods to Tito. “Why don’t you guys head inside for a bit? Warm up on the dancefloor or something.”

Evie and Tito both shrug simultaneously.

“Sure,” Evie says after a beat of hesitation.

Evie doesn’t see the wink Jason sends to Tito or the warning glare Tito sends back because her eyes are caught on Kelsey, Leanne, and Alandra huddled together across the room, staring at them conspiratorially with suspicious grins on their faces. They all laugh when she shows them her middle finger.

Evie turns back to Tito, though, when he places his hands on her waist to steer her out of the event area and into the crowded interior of the club. When they eventually make it deep enough onto the dancefloor that they're relatively hidden from any prying eyes, he spins her around.

They sway awkwardly for a moment as they adjust to the different atmosphere. The pulsing bass and rhythmic writhing of bodies feel different without the blur of alcohol in her veins.

Just staring into Tito’s soft eyes, standing a foot apart, makes her breath catch in her throat. The thought that in under twelve hours, he’ll be stepping on a plane back to Montreal makes all of her breath leave her body. Her heart clenches in her chest so hard she feels herself stumble forward to close the distance.

His hands immediately fly to her face, wiping away the tears she didn’t know has fallen.

“Hey… Hey, whoa,” Tito says, “Evie… Mon chou, what’s wrong?”

When his expression crumples as he scans her face, she knows that he's thinking about tomorrow, too. He bites his lip hard, and she can see the thoughts flying through his head.

She rests her hands on his wrists and nudges them free of her face. She gives the palms of each hand a gentle kiss before placing them back down on her waist with a gentle squeeze. She shakes her head and holds his gaze, trying to communicate the depth of her feelings without having to say a word.

She threads her arms around his neck and pulls him closer so that they're pressed forehead-to-forehead, nose-to-nose. They breathe in each other’s air as they start swaying to the music, letting this moment fill in the spaces in their minds that the overwhelming sense of loss takes up.

Inevitably— it could be a minute or an hour later— their lips meet in the middle. Neither of them knows who really closes the gap, but it doesn’t matter.

The kiss starts gentle and reverent, full of everything they're both feeling, but it only takes a second for it to become desperate and punishing. They're being jostled by the people around them on the dance floor, but it barely even registers as they press into each other so tightly they’re almost fused together. The loud bass of the music covers their frenetic and guttural sounds as they allow themselves to explore.

Evie doesn’t notice them moving across the dancefloor until she feels a brick wall bump up against her back. She opens her eyes and drops her head back against the cool surface, hoping it will slow the flames lapping at her skin.

Their eyes meet for a second, Tito sending her a lewd smile before he drops his head to her neck, nipping and sucking on the sensitive skin, his big, solid body pressing her against the wall. Her hands slip from the nape of his neck to expose more of herself, his jacket sliding off her shoulders.

Her fingers drag along the front of his soft white t-shirt until they find the hem. When she rucks up his shirt to get a flat palm onto his bare skin, the sound of his groan in her ear and the feeling of the searing hot skin under her palms makes her mind go hazy with desire.

Suddenly, his soft lips leave her body, as does the pressure along her front. She keens as he rubs his forehead against her bare shoulder. She slides her hand out from under his shirt and tugs at his hair in confusion. He shakes his head and murmurs something into her skin that she can’t hear, his hands rubbing at her sides.

“Tito—” she starts to say before she cuts herself off with an abrupt gasp; her movement makes his hands brush against her breasts through the thin fabric of her dress.

That's what finally prompts him to lean back, his wide pupils locking onto hers. “Are you not wearing a bra?”

“No?” she says, confused, “I didn’t want the straps to show, so I— what?”

He knocks his head gently on the wall next to her and lets out a strangled “Fuck.”

“Solou— What?” she says again, still confused as he pulls away from her body. She misses his warmth immediately, just staring at him as he quietly pulls his jacket back onto her shoulders.

“Come on,” he grunts; with a firm grip on her waist, he leads her down the first hallway he sees.

Her feet carry her, her heart thundering in anticipation as they walk around the corner just past the bathrooms. With no one around, she can hear them both breathing hard. Her eyes adjust to the dim lighting: just a faint purple glow from the hallway on the one side and moonlight shining through the window of the exit door on the other.

He stops after a few further paces and pushes her roughly against the wall, his arms coming to bracket her in. Through her thin silk dress, she can feel every movement of his body as he presses in close.

Evie had always noticed the broad spread of his body when he changed in front of her; she couldn’t help but let her eyes linger. Hell, she would even notice it in a winter coat. That doesn’t stop the sudden, blistering wave of need that rolls through her body when she realizes how much his body engulfs hers.

In this unlit hallway, she can only see the flutter of his thick eyelashes. He leans in impossibly closer, pausing only a millimeter away, so close she can feel his lips move when he says, “Tell me what you want, mon chou.”

She swallows thickly and arches into him. The possibilities fly through her mind— what doesn’t she want— choking her and making her unable to speak. So she responds the only way she's able: by closing the remaining distance with a bruising kiss.

She hears his hands scrape against the wall beside her like he’s clenching his fists as they lick into each other’s mouths hungrily. She takes advantage of their position by pushing her hands up his shirt again; this time, she's able to feel all the way up his chest, palms brushing over his nipples, provoking a swallowed moan.

She smirks against his mouth before dragging her nails down his defined chest roughly.

She hears a sharp intake of breath before his lips leave hers, sliding to her ear. “Dangerous game to play, mon chou,” he growls before nipping her earlobe, causing her to jump.

Unwilling to concede so early, Evie hums back, “Hmm… I don’t know, what would I win?” Her hands, still under his shirt, tweak his nipples lightly.

This time, she gets a deep, wicked chuckle against her neck in response. Tito’s hips pin her in place before reaching under his shirt and grabbing her hands. With no effort from him and, truthfully, no resistance from her, he pins her arms on either side of her head.

“Maybe we should find out,” he hums before he bites her lower lip, pulling back so that it makes a wet sound when he releases it. He runs his tongue gently over it to soothe the dull sting. She swallows down a moan.

His hands tighten on her wrists. “No, no, mon chou. I wanna hear your moans. Was too loud in there.”

Every single thought she has ever had disappears so fast it makes her dizzy. Their mouths move in tandem, a captivating rhythm that has her rolling her hips into him, seeking more. Immediately understanding, Tito slots his thigh between her legs and applies delicious pressure, relieving the ache there, a wanton moan escaping her lips.

“Good,” he pants.

As their legs become entwined, rocking into each other, chasing friction— she becomes glaringly aware of his hard length straining against the tight black jeans he’s wearing. Her hands jerk against Tito’s unrelenting grasp, desperate to reach down and feel him heavy and hot in her grip.

He's pressing wet, hot kisses to her neck, still grinding languidly against each other when her attention is brutally dragged away from the coiling tension in her body.

Down the hall, she hears a familiar voice slur, “I think the bathroom's this way.”

Tito freezes as the footsteps draw closer.

“Leanne— God fucking dammit— Leanne! You walked past the toilet already. Come on.” Kelsey’s voice cannot have been more than 5 feet away from the corner.

They both hold their breath.

After a torturous second, the footsteps start walking back, away from the corner.

They both let out a shaking sigh. Tito releases her hands from the wall, smiling softly at her as he smoothes down his jacket. He takes a couple steps back, and for a moment, she's scared he’s going to suggest they go back to the party.

Instead, he offers his hand, “Come on, let’s go outside,” nodding at the exit door.

It punches through her hazy, sex-drunk mind that he’s giving her the choice in this moment to turn back. Her chest constricts so tightly it hurts; she’s left gasping for breath. On the flushed expanse of her skin, there’s a single cold point of contact: the pendants of his necklace sitting right above her heart. She’s grateful for the poor lighting when she feels her eyes well up with fondness.

Fuck, they shouldn’t— she shouldn’t be doing this.

She draws in a slow, steadying breath and just holds it, hoping it takes the overwhelming emotion down with it.

She has one night. One last night. And she’s going to make the most of it. Even if it feels a little wrong, and a little like a lie of omission, and a little like taking advantage of him. She doesn’t want to ask what this means for them. She doesn’t want to talk at all right now. She just wants to feel.

And what she feels is her body thrumming like a spring, coiled too tight: the soreness in her lips, the heat of her skin, the dampness in her shorts. She feels the lingering sensations in all the places he has touched, and she just wants.

The air she was holding rushes out of her. Inside her, the spring releases, and the dam breaks; it crashes into her so forcefully she stumbles.

She just fucking wants.

When she grabs his outstretched hand, she pulls him back in without hesitation. She backs him towards the door with every kiss she presses to his lips. When she feels him bump into it, she pushes him roughly through.

There’s a moment when they just look at each other, breathing heavily.

When she slams their bodies together again, her skin feels like it’s burning up, heat spreading from every single point of contact between their two bodies. Evie's sure nothing has ever felt so molten hot as she does right now, pressing him against the railing of the back staircase.

Tito’s jacket slides down again, exposing a vast expanse of skin to the evening air. She doesn’t even notice the chill when he runs his tongue along her collarbone.

She wants to get closer.

She wants more.

She needs more.

As if reading her mind, his hands slide down her back, coming to rest under her ass. With a pointed tug, she jumps into his solid arms. She feels a little wild thinking about the ease with which he carries her weight. She doesn’t even open her eyes when Tito moves them to the stairs, their lips never parting as he sits down and positions her in his lap. Her knees touch the cold, smooth steel, pulling a gasp from her lips.

Tito pauses, gaze suddenly soft, “Are you okay? Do you want me to stop?”

She gazes at him meaningfully, letting his jacket fall to the platform behind her, and she readjusts herself to be even closer. From this angle, she can feel him through his jeans, pressing against her.

“There are so many things I’d let you do to me, but right now, I just need to come.” She purposefully grinds down.

The heat roars through her body as she gets to watch Tito close his eyes and drop his head back against the cool metal, swearing. Her gaze rakes over him as he bites his lip and swallows thickly before taking a deep breath.

When he opens his eyes again, the tender concern has shifted to heated arousal; his eyes trail meaningfully down her body as he brushes her hair over her shoulders and grazes over her necklace. His touch against her skin is so light, it’s maddening. His finger trails down the line of her body, in the valley of her breasts, and over the smooth silk covering her belly before infuriatingly skipping over where she wants him most.

An uncontrolled whimper escapes her lips. Tito smirks as he grips her thighs, his hands sliding reverently up her thighs, savoring the smooth skin, until his fingers run along the seam of her shorts.

He shifts, closing the distance. Evie doesn’t need to be told to tilt her head to give him better access as he begins to mouth at her neck.

“What are these?” he mumbles between kisses, his fingers snapping the hem of the shorts a little.

“Modesty shorts,” she manages to say through the haze in her mind.

He snorts, pausing at her neck. “Modesty shorts?” he asks incredulously.

“Yeah. This dress is really short. You want everyone here to see my ass?”

He grunts, sliding his hand up her thigh before palming her ass in his hands. He continues his attack on her neck and chest and uses his grip on her cheeks to grind her into him. They simultaneously gasp at the sensation. She buries a hand in his hair, giving it a sharp tug to bring his lips back to hers. She uses the other to grip his toned shoulder for balance as they settle into a lazy rhythm.

For a long time, they just hold each other as they grind, lips clashing and tongues sliding messily. His blunt fingernails dig into the meat of her ass, and she clings tightly to him as if they’re both afraid the other would disappear if they let go.

Eventually, though, the unrelenting friction becomes too maddening, and they both start seeking their highs. As their minds become too unfocused to kiss, they just pant into their shared air, breathy moans falling freely from their lips.

Tito’s hands slide from her ass to grip her hips, the bruising pressure of his fingers giving them more leverage. Evie uses her grip on his hair to nudge his mouth further south. He leaves a trail of saliva down to the neckline of her dress, suckling and biting at her neck, collarbone, and chest.

One of his hands leaves her hip, his touch traveling under her dress to finally palm her breast, kneading as his calloused thumb rubs roughly over her pebbled nipple. She gasps as her head falls back, the sensations bordering on overwhelming. His head comes to rest against her chest, savoring the fullness of one breast while he rolls the other nipple between his fingers.

Against her chest, he murmurs against her skin, “Fuck. Fuck. Evie— Fuck.” His hand returns to hold her hip in place as he grinds up towards her in an increasingly frantic rhythm. One hand slides over her thigh to provide more targeted pressure with his thumb.

He barely has time to work on her clit before she feels her gut clench and her muscles seize, moans of his name pouring from her freely. Through the shockwaves, her hazy mind hears the guttural groans Tito makes against her chest right before he stills beneath her, adding a warmth to the mess between them.

They stay entangled for a while, catching their breaths. Tito peppers light kisses on her collarbone as she runs her hands through his hair, trying fruitlessly to smooth it back down, his curls staying fluffy and wild.

The absurdity of the moment hits her then, and she feels a fit of giggles take over her. Beneath her, she can hear him laughing, too, chest rumbling as he wraps his arms around her tightly in a hug.

After a moment, the dampness between the two of them starts to feel a little too gross, and the cold air starts to give her a chill. She taps Tito on the shoulder and smiles at his beaming face when he leans back.

“I can’t believe you just made me come in my pants like a fucking teenager. I don’t think I’ve done that in like ten years,” he laughs, shaking his head in awe. He adjusts her necklace reverently.

She laughs and stands up, her knees feeling raw and sore from the cold, metal stairs— they’re smooth, so probably only bruises tomorrow. Not that she cares. She holds her hand out to help him stand up.

“Come on, let’s go home,” she says softly.

He smiles. “Yes, please. Home sounds perfect.”

Evie looks up at him through her eyelashes when she bends down to pick up his jacket. She holds his gaze when she drags a finger through the wet mess that covers the front of his pants. Smirking, she sucks the finger in her mouth, licking it clean before releasing it with a pop.

His eyes squeeze shut, and he groans loudly. He reaches down and pulls her up. “Jesus fucking Christ,” she hears him mumble as he helps into the jacket, “you’re going to be the fucking death of me.”

Tito holds the door open for her, and she giggles as she steps back inside, pulling out her phone from his jacket pocket to order the Lyft.

That’s when she sees it, stopping her dead in the dim hallway as she feels her stomach drop to the floor.

15 missed calls.

At least 30 text messages from Kelsey. Each increasingly more panicked than the last.

There’s only a slight relief that the last message came in just a minute ago.

Her ears are ringing and she only realizes Tito is speaking when he shakes her gently by the shoulders. When she looks up, his eyes are wide with concern and panic.

“—okay? Evie? What’s wrong?”

She shows him her phone quickly, watching his face drop. She immediately calls Kelsey as soon as she has her phone back.

“Kels— What’s wrong? I’m so sorry, I didn’t— Is everything okay?”

“It’s Lee. Something’s wrong. I don’t— Are you sober enough to drive?”

“Yeah, where are you?”

“Out front.”

“Okay, I’ll be two minutes.”

She hangs up, and runs back out the door they just came through.

“Evie,” she hears Tito chasing after her, “What happened?”

“I don’t know,” she yells over her shoulder, “Something— Lee— I don’t know.”

She’s flying down the stairs as fast as she can, sprinting to the front of the building as soon as her feet touch the asphalt. She sees a small group gathered in front of the club. The bile rises up in the back of her throat; she swallows it down. There’s no time for that.

She shrugs off the jacket and pushes it at Tito, looking at his crotch meaningfully as they approach the group.

“What happened?” she yells as soon as she’s close enough.

Jason Dickinson turns first, a limp Leanne in his arms. She then sees Nick Foligno comforting a crying Kelsey. Alandra's peeking out from behind them, her eyes wide as she looks at them approaching.

“What the fuck happened?” Evie asks again as she approaches the group.

Kelsey sobs, “I don’t know. I told her not to close the door.”

“What?” she hears Tito say behind her. Jason and Alandra exchange a look.

Alandra finally speaks up. “We don’t really know what happened, but she passed out cold in the bathroom. And she threw up. We got her out, but she still hasn’t come to. They aren’t being fucking helpful at all, and the ambulance apparently is too busy for a drunk girl, so it’s going to take them over an hour.” She throws a dirty look over her shoulder at the club and scowls.

Nick jumps in. “Look, John— Reese lives a couple blocks away, and he’s got a car. Bedsy was the only one sober enough to drive. So he went to get it. It’s going to be quicker to just drive her to the ER. Bedsy can probably drive if needed, but he’s just a kid. It would be better if you—”

“Yeah, yeah. I can do it,” Evie jumps in immediately, nodding.

“Are you sure?” Nick says, leveling her with a serious look.

“Yeah— Yes. I only had, like, one drink, and that was ages ago. I can drive.”

Nick nods, and there's a sigh of relief in the group as Connor pulls into the curb.

Tito leans in close to her. “Here, give me the keys. I can drive. You sit with them in the back.”

She stares at him as people move around them, placing Leanne next to a still-crying Kelsey in the black seat.

He leans in and says gently, “You know I’m not drunk. You know. So, give me the keys, chouchou. Okay?”

“Okay,” she whispers. Tito takes the keys and walks around the back of the car to the driver's seat, talking with Nick about something.

Alandra catches her elbow as she moves to step into the car. “Here,” she presses something soft into her hand, “Take this.”

Evie looks at her, confused. Alandra flicks her eyes down to her chest before squeezing her elbow again.

Evie looks down and sees the litany of hickeys that trail down her chest.

Oh.

She pulls on the hoodie.

Tito — April 21

Tito didn't sleep a single second, the evening playing over and over in his head. He stared at the empty bed and couldn’t bring himself to even get in it without Evie there. So he just took a shower and packed the last of his belongings.

He buries his face in his hands when he finally sits down. He hopes that maybe if he sits there long enough, his brain will supply something positive. Anything.

Every time he feels his traitorous mind wandering, every time a faint wave of desire licks at his consciousness, his stomach twists. If he could’ve just controlled himself, they wouldn’t have been on that staircase when her friends needed her.

With his eyes closed, he can still see the way she looked at him outside the ER as she told him to go home. Evie didn’t need to say a word. He could see the pain and regret on her face so clearly that it was burned onto his retina. It doesn’t really matter why that look was on her face. It was still his fault.

God, fuck. What has he done?

He knew she had been struggling with her mood recently. He knew because she had said that just the night before as she lay on the couch while he picked up his stuff from around her apartment. She didn’t say what was getting her down, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that he knew she was sad.

He also knew that she had no interest in being romantically attached to anyone. That she still wanted more time to process the end of her last relationship. Just because he had gotten attached doesn’t mean she has. It was unfair of him to conceal how he felt and still do what he did.

And fuck, she’s his best friend. He had told her as much. Which made the look seared into his memory all the more painful, knowing that even if things had gone differently, she probably would still regret it by now. Probably even more so.

What, the fuck, has he done?

He wanted her warm body pressed against his. He wanted her lips on his. He wanted to hear all the sounds she would make. God, he wanted so much more than what he got on those stairs. If he’s honest, he still does.

The guilt curls heavily in his stomach.

She needed someone to be there for her. And he just wanted her in his bed— well, their— her bed. He justified it in the moment because it would’ve been one night. One inconsequential night for her— it’s not like she wouldn’t just hook up with someone else if she wanted to. He wanted just this one night for himself.

He thinks he’s going to be sick.

He’s contemplating just making himself throw up when he hears a key in the lock. He stands up so fast that he almost knocks over his half-drunk cup of tea.

“Hey,” he says softly as she walks into the room. She looks rumpled and tired, but she seems okay. His eyes catch on the 16, instead of 91, on the shoulder of her hoodie, and he forces himself to rip his eyes away. “How is she?”

Evie smiles at him so softly, “She’s okay. They discharged her a little while ago, so Kels and I took her home. Kelsey’s staying with her now ‘cause they know you’re leaving this morning.”

As she talks, she closes the distance between them and wraps him in a hug, tucking her head under his chin. He squeezes her tight to his aching chest; he thinks it might be less painful to just break his arm again.

“She’s going to be okay, right?” he mumbles into her hair.

“Yeah, yeah. We think she just drank too much on an empty stomach. She’s probably going to have to lay off the alcohol for a bit.”

They lean into each other and just stand there, embracing for some time. Tito tries to breathe in as much of her perfume as he can, committing it to memory.

Eventually, Evie takes a small step back and turns to survey her apartment; there’s a sharp intake of breath when her eyes land on his suitcases by the door.

“You’re all ready for your flight?” her voice strained as she looks away from him.

“Yeah,” he replies shakily.

“Damn, this really is it then,” her voice is so quiet he can barely hear her.

“Evie— Chou— No, don’t say it like that,” his voice breaking at the end. He can’t help but step in behind her and wrap his arm tightly around her waist.

She clears her throat. “I know, I know. It’s not goodbye. We will still— It just won’t be the same when you’re not here,” her wobbly voice breaking.

He spins her back around and holds her face gingerly so that he can make eye contact. “Hey— We will still talk every day. I’ll text you so much it’s going to be so annoying.”

She lets out a small hiccup, and he pulls her into his chest again firmly. He holds her, rocking slightly, as she cries. He presses gentle kisses to her temple and whispers assurances against her hair.

When the notification pings that his driver's on their way, they're still standing there, gently rocking.

“Hey, chouchou. I’m so sorry, but my Lyft's going to be here in like five minutes,” he says as gently as he can.

She steps back and lets out a wet gasp. “Oh my god, your shirt! Oh no.”

He looks down at the makeup and tear stains on his shoulder and shrugs, “I’ll survive. I’ve got at least twenty other shirts that look basically the same.”

He pulls the shirt over his head and decides to just slip on the hoodie he had planned to wear on the plane anyway. When his head pokes through the top, he sees that she’s staring. Ah, she probably noticed the crescent of bruises on his shoulder in the shape of her fingertips. He swallows the bile down quickly and hopes she’s not too upset.

Her eyes are so wide when she opens her mouth to say, “Look last night—”

He cuts her off, his heart thundering in his chest. “Hey, it’s okay. Mon chou, you don’t need to—”

“But— I just want to— I’m sorry—”

“Chou, you really don’t have to—” His chest feels so tight he thinks he’s going to stop breathing any moment now.

“That it happened—”

“Evie, don’t.” His voice comes out louder than he intended. He squeezes his eyes shut and sighs. “Please.”

“Oh, okay.” She looked taken aback, expression pinched in pain.

His phone rings at that moment, and he pulls it out to see his driver pulling up to the building soon.

“Goddammit. Look, the driver's here. We will talk all the time, okay?”

“Okay,” she nods.

He squeezes her arm as he gathers up the last of his things.

“Solours, you forgot your hoodie,” she points at the kitchen stool from next to the doorway.

“I’m pretty sure that hoodie's yours now,” he chuckles before walking over to her and tapping the 16 on her chest, “Make sure you give this back to Jason, though.”

She laughs wetly, rolling her eyes, “I will.”

They hug in the doorway of her apartment for a long moment as he drops a lingering kiss on her temple, taking one last inhale of her scent.

When they part, he sends her a small smile. “I’ll see you soon, yeah?”

“Yeah,” she smiles back, nodding.

He only looks back at her, waiting in the doorway three times as he waits for the elevator.

Tito holds it together until he’s in his window seat on the plane. As he watches Chicago grow smaller beneath him, he cries silently into the edge of his hoodie the entire flight. He wonders if he just made the biggest mistake of his life.

episode 2 thoughts:

this whole episode was fantastic, just as awesome as the previous one, but to me, i feel like peter gadiot's performance as shanks was absolutely my favourite part of it. there was just so much tenderness in his interactions with luffy, that i became attached to their relationship in a way i don't think i've ever truly felt with the manga or the anime. the live action managed to make me absolutely sob when he was saying goodbye to luffy as his crew left dawn island, which is never something i've done with the manga or anime (for that scene at least). you can almost physically feel how much he adores luffy, and it's making me really emotional

once again loving garp's expanded role in this arc! his interactions with koby and the rest of the marines were really good this episode, and the scene where koby tells him that luffy was the straw hat pirate who raided the base....you could just SEE the exasperation garp was feeling right then. i loved it!

i was a little sad that mayor boodle's role was reduced so much in this arc, and also the fact that chouchou's entire subplot was cut out. BUT it was a cool little easter egg to see him running around at the end of the episode. just a cheeky little wink wink nudge nudge to the manga/anime fans. i'll forgive them for it because the rest of the episode was so good

i audibly gasped at the scene where we saw buggy's audience laughing through pained expressions, and then the camera panned down to show their legs chained up. that absolutely gave me the chills.

i like the direction they took buggy's character in this. he still feels very true to his canon self, but i like how they made him somewhat more...empathetic, in a way? he sees a kindred soul in luffy after he makes the assumption that luffy had been abandoned by shanks. he genuinely felt like luffy was like him, like all the other outcasts in his crew, and he wanted to offer luffy a place in their family. it's found family, but make it evil!!!! you can see he has a lot of hurt and bitterness towards shanks and his perceived betrayal, and it's fantastic. they somehow made him more pathetic, but also more sinister than the manga, in a way?

i'm really really seeing why the cast and crew are all so insanely proud of this show. i'm a quarter of the way through now, and it's already obvious just how beautifully done this whole series is. the love and passion of all the people who worked on this show is evident in every single scene, in every little detail that they include for those of us in the know, and i really really appreciate it. it's everything i could've hoped for, and i'm so sad that i won't be able to watch the whole season tonight because i have work tomorrow. i think i should be able to watch at least 2 more episodes today though.

next stop!!!! SYRUP VILLAGE! i finally get to see my favourite liar! i'm so psyched to see jacob's performance in this

Some belated thoughts on the first chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, aka, Boruto part II. Spoilers after the cut.

This chapter being simply titled “Boruto” to contrast with how the first chapter of part I was titled “Uzumaki Boruto” is actually a nice touch. Succinctly reflects the new situation of the main character: From the esteemed Hokage son and golden child of the village, to a pariah considered a traitor and wanted dead by his former home. Ironically, Boruto barely appear in this chapter. Most of it is centered on the rest of the cast (with a particular focus on Sarada), giving out exposition and setting up the current status quo.

Ikemoto’s art is still an acquired taste at best, an absolute eyesore at worst. To be fair, he does have improved since the manga started, but not really enough for my tastes.

I definitely like Sarada, Sumire, Chouchou and Mitsuki’s time skip designs, while Shikadai and Inojin’s leave me a bit cold (mostly because they don’t look particularly older). Himawari’s new attire is good, but I would have preferred if her hair was a bit spikier.

I didn’t care much for Kawaki’s design in the flash forward at the beginning of the manga, but his current get-up post-time skip is actually better, although not by much.

Boruto’s design isn’t bad per se, but outside of the cape and some accessories, his outfit is just not that different from his original get-up, which feels like a wasted opportunity (at the very least they could have given him some additional colors or something).

Kishimoto’s writing has some… issues. So apparently, people could still feel something was wrong with the rewriting of their memories in the early days and the obvious contradictions involving the switch between Boruto and Kawaki, but as time has passed, the Omnipotence Shinjutsu has suppressed the unease and now everyone just accepts their new memories as true. While that’s fine and dandy, it still doesn’t explain what happened to the massive amount of physical evidence pointing out that Boruto was the Hokage’s son. Did all the photographs, written records and videos of Boruto just disappear? Were altered by the Shinjutsu? People look at them and think they are forgeries? Kishi, you might not think any of that is important enough to address it but it’s a genuinely massive plot hole that makes this entire plotline fall apart and it just keeps nagging at the back of my head.

So far it’s confirmed that Sarada and Sumire are the only ones unaffected by Eida’s Omnipotence, and Sarada herself seems to have been turned into an outcast in the village because of her insistence on defending Boruto. As to the matter of how to solve the entire mess, Eida still doesn’t have any control over her powers and doesn’t think reverting people’s memories to how they were originally will be possible, but posits that rewriting them again might work although that still carries risks of its own.

Talking about that, the scene of Sarada and Sumire trying to fool Eida and Daemon regarding how they were unaffected by the Omniptence Shinjutsu but are “definitely” affected by Eida’s charming power was extremely cringe worthy. Although to be fair, it’s kind of implied that neither of the ultra-broken siblings actually buy it and are merely humoring them for the time being.

Shikamaru being the 8th Hokage was a surprise. On the one hand, he is actually a good fit for the position, indeed, back in the original series it was acknowledged he could make for a good one. On the other hand, it also feels weird and I can’t help it but get this nagging feeling that he was made Hokage specifically because Kishimoto forgot that Kakashi was still alive. Then again, his face was not sculpted in the Hokage monument during the flash forward, and if they respect that detail, it would imply he only took the mantle very recently.

While Shikamaru’s antagonism towards Kawaki in Part I wasn’t exactly unfounded (especially considering how things turned out), it did got very old very quickly and now that it’s been transferred to Boruto, it’s even more irritating. He taking out some of that on Sarada for defending Boruto was also annoying, so in that sense, Sarada calling him out and pointing out that it’s his predecessor the one she follows as her role model was actually deserved to an extent.

Kawaki can move freely in the dimension of the Sukuna Hikona. The scene with him watching over the unconscious Naruto and Hinata was really morbid, but it’s clear he is still in a dark place. However, he does seem to care for the safety of the people in the village if his actions to protect them from Code are anything to go by. That’s something at least.

The scene with Kawaki and Mitsuki was heartbreaking. Just the notion of Mitsuki turning against Boruto and fervently wanting to kill him is tragic considering their prior bond, compounded by the fact that his current relationship with Kawaki is clearly not the same and it’s leaving him feeling dejected. I just hope this whole mess won’t end with Mitsuki eventually turning into an outright villain, you just know Kishimoto is itching to explore parallels and contrasts with Orochimaru.

The scene of Himawari training with Chouchou was nice, showcasing their growth as well as Hima’s natural talent. I presume Himawari has already graduated from the Shinobi Academy, although the chapter doesn’t clarify it.

Interestingly, while the chapter confirms Himawari's memories were altered, unlike other village inhabitants, she hasn’t turned against Boruto, refusing to believe that he killed their parents and having faith that they might still be alive somewhere. Of course, all of that is based on her original memories of Kawaki and she is ultimately right. In any case, it’s sweet that she is willing to help her brother and that, in a roundabout way, she thinks highly of her adopted sibling, not only considering her original bond with Boruto but also the bond she and Kawaki formed in the anime.

Code has spent the past few years searching for Boruto after amassing an army from the body of the Juubi. His patience has finally been exhausted so he decides to attack Konoha with the intention of attracting Boruto’s attention. His plan was actually clever, but I’m not exactly fond of him imperiling Sarada specifically, then again this is Kishi’s “traditionalism” rearing its ugly head again.

In any case, the scenes of the attack on Konoha and Boruto’s dynamic entry were cool… or would have been if the art was actually better. All I can say is that I’m eager to see the anime tackling this chapter when it finally returns.
