It’s Terumi’s birthday so to celebrate I’m drop a hot take theory. In that Terumi actually does like the world and likes being human-esque. Not that he doesn’t hate everything he totally does but it’s that he can’t reconcile that due to twisted view on the universe. Let me explain.
Terumi, or properly Susanoo, at some point in his tenure as the Master Unit’s custodian developed a soul, a sense of self, and a will. He is in essence born a god and understands he is a god. At the same time he understands that as the Susanoo Unit he is also a tool and a slave. That as mighty as he is he is ultimately subservient to something. This dissonance leads him to resenting the Master Unit and everything it created and him desiring his own freedom from it. Eventually leading him to separate from his divine body, leave the Boundary, and entering into the world.
From there be begins to plot against the Master Unit but begins to develop peculiarities unfit for a god. He takes a preferred human form instead of something more divine, he develops an interest in playing music, he in a physical body has a taste in something as simple as boiled eggs. And while it more than likely meant he enjoys watching human suffering this quote from his Spirit form from BBDW could mean he just enjoys watching people be people and live their lives if taken especially generously.
“Even in this kind of shitty, incomplete state, there's one thing that's good about it. And that would be...just being able to watch lives.”
At the same time though everything in the world is still of the Master Unit’s making and thus he’s still it’s prisoner. He will find no peace of mind while within his sister’s palm. And so he resents and seeks to destroy his sister’s creations. He will hold unto his birthright as a god even as he has no comfort from it. He hates and looks down upon the humans he finds pleasure in imitating. He’ll spend countless years waging a war against his sister and undo her creation so he can make it as he sees fit because his persecution complex prevents him from anything else! So long as Amaterasu is he will never be free and he will resent her and her creations! And he will envy her for her and status and envy her creations who can feel at peace while he is both god and slave and what comforts he can have will in the end taste of ash upon his tongue!
It becomes rather fitting he motifs himself as a serpent as they can be associated with the sin of envy. He hates what he cannot have or be a part of. Terumi wants the world and human comforts but will only have it if it’s his way. However petulant and hypocritical it may be.
I love how Hamish will literally peep and then headbutt me for attention, because this dingus doesn’t quite know what a meow is and he’s a hefty cat with a tiny “peep” of a meow 😂
#12: A headcanon you have for this character: much like Melvin, Kipper also just massively chills out as he gets older, mainly after he and Jasper start doing family therapy and working out the issues that led to Kipper being a bully in the first place
high school age Kipper is more of a sarcastic "cool kid" than a bully. And by "cool kid" I mean that he and his friends *think* they're cool because they wear black and listen to death metal and hang out at the skate park trying and failing to land the sick tricks they see the pros doing. Really he's just an awkward teen with emotional issues he's trying to grow out of.
(he also grows out of the toxic masculinity from Book 9 and realizes that ""girly"" things can be fun too sometimes and it's actually really epic and cool to tell your friends how much you love them)
' i think shou-kun's eyes are really nice ! ' the compliment leaves the niwa's lips both readily and sincerely . hadn't shou already complimented daisuke's own eyes once , too ? even if history seemed to declare their reach and color both sinful and corrupt . ' it's nice to have someone that matches you , sort of ... and if it's shou-kun's eyes especially , i feel like i could talk about them for a really long time . that's all the more reason for me to be able to say that they're nice , right ? '
he'd hope so .
' i don't want to see you get hurt ... so i hope you don't have to hurt anyone in the future . also , um ... well , i don't want to say anything wrong or anything , but --- don't you love nade and tsuntsu a lot ? i think that should count . i know you're the sort of person who'd do anything for them , shou-kun . you can take pride in that ! or maybe drawing , too ! there's lots of things you're good at already ! maybe , if you think about it for a little , you can take the first step to figuring out what your dream or future might be like ... a-ah , but , anyways , i'm glad you're so close to a full board with me ! '
i am mentally preparing myself for the keeper crew to go to the forbidden cities in stellarlune and for there to be at least a page and a half where they find a hamilton ad and discuss it and sophie has to explain what musicals are and who hamilton was and biana or fitz or someone else is like “why would they make a musical about this shitty guy” and sophie is like “i don’t know! why are we even talking about this” because if i am counting correctly the keeper timeline is currently in late 2014 / early 2015 which is close enough to the boom of hamilton for shannon to reference it and for that i am terrified.
go on bestie, give your fic recs (smut or not doesn't matter)
okie okie here are some of my faves:

19 because now i also have to know what u hate abt this fandom. tea spill
okay honestly not a ton actively bc this corner I'm hanging out in w like 15 other ppl (this includes u) is insanely chill and so funny BUT. like w all fandoms ig its PPL WHO TAKE THIS SHIT TOO SERIOUSLY.. like was it NECESSARY for u to write a 10k dissertation on why chat noir or marinette or whoever are abusive predators?? DID IT REALLY SPARK JOY ?? for non discourse related peeves its the salt!fandom that makes me go Yuck! like i totally get that the lila stuff is soooooo infuriating (false accusation arcs are like one of my top most loathed frustration inducing tropes 🔪) but the content is always so unimaginative. i need INNOVATION i need ENTERTAINMENT!!! ULTIMATELY i believe if smth makes u happy then it was a WORTHWHILE PURSUIT but also consider this: i have little self control and will read things i dont even want to read
i have more but thats even more THIS DOES NOT CATER TO MY SPECIFIC INTERESTS than the distaste for salt
Literally cruel that no one can read my mind to know about my current wips and then send me asks abt them even tho literally i never speak of the things i write until i just throw it out there. Horrific treatment of me
