#i have three essays to write but i watch naruto

I have like three zolu comics and a proper ace piece that i would like to finish… I have naruto literally gnawing on my ankles, reminding me that i have several unfinished works…
29 separate multi-chapter fic ideas that fall under 3 fandoms distracting me from everyday life. Kingdom and Beserk pop up every now and then to remind me I like them and should continue reading.
Like a fool, I decided to revisit my roots and started watching Fairy Tail again. By GOD am I in love with Gray Fullbuster. Like Portgas D. Ace level ‘he means so much to me, he’s all i can think about. On an emotional and psychological level i understand you.’
Then there’s the academic side of me that I’ve neglected but literally wanted to delve deep into these past two months by reading and writing essays on literature. Specifically on the fandoms mentioned above.

Hello, I saw your post about wanting to have friends who are fans of the Naruto founders era, mood.
Rank the characters of the founders era from your least favorite to your most favorite and why
Hey thx for the ask, you and mira were actually the first two people I followed on here. I love ur blog!
I'll just do the uchiha and senju brothers, because the others don't get any screen time and I haven't seen much of them in fanon either.
4. Hashirama
I love him, he has the potential to be such an interesting character, thematically. But I haven't really seen it done well. He's either characterised as a completely goofy idiot, as a prop or foil for other characters (often madara), or if they try to make him darker it's just the bad brother trope for madatobi fics. And it drives me up the wall. My personal take on him is that he's a kind person through and through, he puts his dream before everything else but I don't think that makes him as callous as he's made out to be sometimes. I think his reasons for what he does are very valid. And he would be very interesting to explore the weight of power and responsibility through, and how despite best intentions dreams can go sideways. Man didn't even expect the village to survive lmao, says a lot. He's more of a typical shonen protagonist, which I'm usually not a fan of, but I loved every second of screen time he got.
3. Madara
If I were talking solely about canon he's definitely my favourite. Completely iconic! I'm still salty about how they dealt with him towards the end of the war arc. But yah he is such an interesting character, I could write essays about him and his philosophies and his actions and how much more potential he could have had if Kishimoto wasn't sus. I loved every second he was on screen, especially his interactions with Hashirama! He's completely obsessively unhinged and I love that for him. This man tried to become God and force world peace lmao, what else needs to be said. And I can appreciate his nihilistic take on dependent origination, enlightened King lmao. Absolutely insane. Also I love torturing him.
2. Tobirama
I just think he's neat. I instantly get obsessed with any character who is remotely autistic coded, what can I say. He's low key an asshole and completely insane, even if he tries to rationalise everything he does. But he's also loyal and self sacrificial when it comes to the people and things he cares about. In the sense that everything he's cultivated himself into has been in service of something bigger than himself. Second heirs am I right. This is also very true, more so, for Izuna too. I think he's also very misunderstood, and very polarising lmao. It's kind of funny to watch when it's not frustrating. Yes he's morally grey, yes he's capable of doing fucked up shit, no I don't think he hated the uchiha, and no he'snot some unredeemable monster. Let the man have nuance. I haven't seen many fics of him I like, but that's probably mostly because 90% are madatobi (if I could completely block and never see this ship again I would in a heart beat lmao). But yh I haven't seen a lot of him so he's been living rent free in my head because of it, more so than hashi or madara, so now I'm completely attached to him lol. Also aroace King, love that.
1. Izuna
Yh I'm obsessed with everything about him. He's my little guy. I saw a character who was insanely important to the plot but got no screen time, and who is only ever mentioned in relation to Madara (he didn't even get a personality lol), and said this is free real estate. I like maybe two or three fics with him in (and a few that are just pwp cuz they don't get the chance to mess up his characterisation lol; I blame WASS for being so picky). So he lives completely in my brain, he's mine. I characterise him as completely insane lmao, he's just a cocktail of mental disorders, and I love torturing him.
He's also very capable though, he was Madara's right hand man, and based off how Madara handles the 4th war... he definitely needed all the help he could get. In this way I think Izuna and Tobirama are parallels of each other.
He's also such a fun character. He's pretty, and he knows it, he's confident and he knows what he wants. He's also a bit of an asshole, a pretentious art hoe, definitely judgemental and a complete drama queen at times lol. Also morally grey, in a similar way to Tobirama actually (god I'm obsessed with the dynamic they could have). He's also a bit of a control freak, and definitely insanely nihilistic and paranoid (I actually think Madara only got that paranoid after Izuna died, despite the peace, or maybe because of it). He HAUNTS the narrative and I love that. Madara actually develops Izuna's worst traits after his death.
He's also my favourite to write. Especially his internal monologues. I also think he's obsessive and insanely possessive. Deranged. I love it! But he also puts his duty and everyone he cares about before his own needs and wants. So yh jts just so interesting to explore. I get obsessed over characters with shit loads of wasted potential lol. Also he has big aro energy, completely repulsed by romance and I definitely support that lmao.
Jesus this was long. Definitely got a bit ranty towards the end.

Tag Game!
rules: tag 9 people you want to know better
Tagged by @round--robin and @hungarianbee! Thank you so much for tagging me, this was lots of fun!
Three ships: Only three? Okay, okay, if I had to choose right now...I would say Geralt/Eskel/Lambert, Aiden/Lambert/Coën and Iorveth/Roche (because I'm playing through Witcher 2 right now and I'm finally getting to know more about these two!)
First ever ship: Probably something Anime? Maybe SasuNaru from Naruto? The first ship I ever actively became involved in fandom with was Eruri (Erwin/Levi) from Snk!
Last song: I don't really know tbh. I've been listening to my playlist full of Japanese Songs lately to hype myself up for all the work that goes into applying for unis/scholarships in Japan...
Last film: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari! I am currently on a quest to watch/rewatch some Horror movie classics and I thought it was appropriate to finally watch some expressionist works from the twenties. I thought it was definitely worth the watch! Currently watching Nosferatu (which has been on my to watch list forever).
Currently reading: I'm currently back to reading through some of the academic writing on Internet Memes that I have here because of my thesis, since I might revisit that topic in an essay I have to write for uni. Other than that, I am as always reading fanfic! Oh and I'm still trying to work my way through Harry Potter in Chinese but that is....slow going for now.
Currently watching: Horror movies and I'm also catching up on some seasons of Rupaul's Drag Race. Other than that, I'm not really following any shows at the moment.
Currently consuming: Water. Very boring. I should get myself something else...
Currently craving: Some time in which I do not have to worry about anything. I am craving a break, please.
Tagging: @jayofolympus, @winter-fir, @fourtears20, @sometimesiwrite, @damatris, @lamburrito, @spielzeugkaiser, @theprincessoffrost and @kaori1 Only if you want to do it, of course, and apologies if you've already been tagged!

HCS FOR PROF? 👀
OkayokaySO!
-He has TERRIBLE aim. Cannot get anywhere CLOSE to victory on aim-based things. He’ll say he’s decent at bowling and get a gutter ball in the first five seconds
-Also he’s actually decently strong!! He can’t, like, lift three people at once or anything, but He Can Dig!
-Also he’s absolutely autistic and I’m right. Him [handshake] Olivia: yellow color palette autistic characters
-Prof tumblr user <////3 https://prftd.carrd.co/ here’s his carrd,
-On a similar note: he’s read Homestuck :(. He’s never cosplayed from it, though
-Things that are true about him in high school: he lost his retainer at least once, he did competitive longjump, and he started watching naruto but never finished it
-He used to be a Girl Scout! That’s where he got a lot of his niche skills from
-That’s also where he got his fear of fire from! He. May have fallen into a campfire. Understandably, it stuck with him a little
-Also when meowbeamed he’s an orange tabby!!
-This toad is gay and trans and there is Nothing you can do about it <3
-The head of his shovel screws off, and he’s scared of spiders so he’ll unscrew the shovel and use the handle+stick to poke at Spider Spots
-He puts on those “explaining the lore of [video game]” videos as background noise when he’s grading stuff!
-Also when he was still a student it was really obvious when he was just writing words and not Writing With Effort because he was decent at just getting essays done acceptably without much effort, it was just way too obvious of a difference when he actually cared about the topic
-I think he’d like salamanders :]
-He’s not fond of needles, so instead of injections he uses gel for his testosterone
-ALSO I STAND BY “PROF HAS VISIBLE PRIDE FLAGS IN HIS CLASSROOM SO HIS LGBT STUDENTS FEEL MORE SAFE”
-He’s horrible at memorizing lyrics </3 rip :(
-On the topic of “prof and djt friendship” i do think they’d do escape rooms together :]
-Also? I don’t think prof would really play many video games but if he did play the “stardew valley animal crossing that whole genre” games, he’d probably focus on Completing Things, like, completing the museum and repairing the community center, instead of building relationships with the townspeople

18, 24 and 28 for the anime asks pls (if you feel a rant coming with any of these questions please do not abstain, I'd love to hear it 👀)
Once again, I have unfortunately reblogged an ask game and then forgotten immediately, but I am here now!
18. 10 worst anime I have watched: Haha, so fun fact, I have ranked every anime I've ever watched, I keep them on a list on my phone, so here's the ten ranked at the bottom
Kakegurui - super repetitive, needlessly sexualized, and really fetishizing of wlw
Keiijo - This is the only strictly "fan service" anime I've ever watched, and it was mostly satire (it's the one where the girls boobs have like special powers or whatever), and honestly, it was fucking hilarious, I watched it with my roommate cuz we'd seen a clip of it, it's just down so low 'cause like... It's satire fan service, it's not like... good lmao
Black Butler - I loved Grell, but tbh that was it
Code Geass - I know a lot of ppl like this one but I had to force myself to finish it and hated every single character, not in a good way either, I just hated them
Devilman Crybaby - if anyone wants my goddamn fucking essay on all the reasons I fucking hated every goddamn aspect of this anime, I am more than happy to oblige
Sirius the Jaeger - was just boring
Record of Grancrest War - again, was just super boring
God Eater - I still have no idea what happened in it, the writing was a clusterfuck
K Project: boring
Fate/Extra: Lost Encore: couldn't tell you a damn thing about this anime, not a single thing about it held my interest
24. Popular character you hate: Tbh I have quite a few.
I'm not really a big fan of Zenitsu in Demon Slayer, I guess I don't hate him, but I find his character really annoying, and not interesting at all compared to the others.
Because I love putting a target on my back in this fandom ig, I don't like Lucy or Laxus (and have never understood why they're such fandom favs). I've talked about why with Lucy before, but I don't like Laxus because I just have no sympathy for him. There was no real reason for any of the antagonistic shit he did, and in my opinion, he never did enough to earn back the respect and friendship he got after everything he did. It all just got swept under the rug
I don't think this is super unpopular but I fucking hate Sasuke and Naruto lmao I think both their characters are obnoxious, and really poorly handled by the narrative, and considering I don't like the two main characters, it's why it took me so fucking long to make it through that series
King is the most annoying character in the entirety of Seven Deadly Sins (and that's really saying something) and I hate the amount of focus he gets considering how bland he is compared to the others, idk why the fandom seems to like him so much
I could keep going, but I'll let it rest here lmao
28: Most upsetting moment in anime, why: Listen, I love Bleach, I really do, but I hate the way the last three arcs of the series are handled. Like I understand that Aizen was meant to build up some of the shit with the Thousand Year Blood War arc, but I hate that he was the main villain for literally the entirety of the series, except for the last arc. Like narratively, it pisses me off so much. The Fullbring arc just should not exist, at all, and Ichigo either should have remained powerless, or gotten his powers back at some point during the TYBW arc, the Fullbring bit smashed in between Aizen and the TYBW arc ruins the immersion and ruins a lot of the Shinigami characters, because I refuse to believe that Rukia or Renji would have just never visited Ichigo because he lost his powers, it really disillusions the friendship they had

Alright, these are the questions I wanted to ask the most: 7) When is your preferred time to write? 8) Where do you take your inspiration from? 45) What spurs you on during the writing process? 48) What is your favorite trope to write about? -- Love you so much for all your support 😘💕💕💕
💗💗💗 omg #8 got a little too long.  I just couldn’t stop with how deeply important it is to me.  Like, I’m sorry it’s an essay, but please read the whole thing if you have the time. 😘😘
7) When is your preferred time to write?
Whenever I have bubble tea in my system!  Although I think night time might be my most productive time strictly in terms of creativity.
8) Where do you take your inspiration from?
I might read something and think, hm that wasn’t enough for me.  I want more!  Or I think, what would this be like if it was NaruHina?  Movies, folktales, fairytales, other fanfics, fanart, prompts, my own life or others’ stories!  I basically put NaruHina in every romantic situation possible, and some ideas develop really promisingly into viable stories.  Only two of my ideas are “original” in that they solely started off with a wondering “what if...” question - It’s No Secret and Undercover.
And as I told you before!  ❤️❤️ You, @mmmbuttery, and agitosgirl inspired me to write my own fics!! ❤️❤️
How you unapologetically leaned into Japanese culture when no other fic writer seemed to know anything basic about Japan in their canon-divergent fics (like some fic writers got them walking around in his apartment with their shoes on AHHHHHHHHH😱😱).  I thought how great it was to not feel like Naruto and Hinata were white people when I read your stories, and I felt like your fics were so much more relatable.
I thought if I’m spending my free time reading stories of my own choice, I am not about to read stories that have a Hinata who’s never had ramen before!  But I couldn’t find any other stories quite like yours and emmykay’s, and at this time, both of you weren’t writing anymore...basically I needed that representation.
So THANK YOU for doing what you did and what you still do, I have appreciated it SO MUCH 🙌🏼.  Just thinking about representation in English YA fiction and literature, like did I mention I watched Crazy Rich Asians at least 4 times in theatres and read the whole series?  Fanfiction is so important to me in this aspect.  It’s free!  And the characters can be Asian, in love, and just be themselves.  (yes there’s jdramas, kdramas, manga, anime, and translated literature, and I love those things, too, but I want all the things.)
And how agitosgirl would just drop stories and start new ones without warning or caring lol.  Her catchphrase as she leaves you forever dangling on a cliffhanger: A/N: There you have it!  or There you guys go.  Just a little bit of something for you.  The role model of role models in IDGAF.  Yeah, I thought, I can do that too.  I can handle that level of no expectations for myself to finish my stories.  At first, as a reader, I was annoyed, and then I started to find her breezy attitude really very admirable.
So many authors would write end notes about forcing themselves to finish writing a story, or completely losing interest in writing because readers were nagging them, and I always thought that was really sad.  I wondered: Why couldn’t they just do what agitosgirl did?  Why couldn’t they just do whatever they want?  Why on earth do they let their readers’ excitement become an unwelcome pressure?  I thought, well, if I write my own fanfics, I’m going to do my best to be like agitosgirl.  Write seriously whatever topic I want for however long I want, and readers can choose to read or not to read.
She would write the most frowned-upon tropes and have zero shame about it.  She never, not once, apologized for what and how she wrote.  I really got the feeling that she was writing for her own enjoyment.  And in return, as a reader, I felt no shame in enjoying her work.  As a fic writer now, I’m still trying to be like her!
So I’ll end it there, really the inspiration is endless and I could credit every content creator out there. 
45) What spurs you on during the writing process?
I guess it’s usually a certain scene I’m looking forward to a lot.  That’s what makes smut and flirty fluff stories so easy to write!  They’re full of fun scenes I want to see.
48) What is your favorite trope to write about?
Three of my longer ones, Nightdreams, It’s No Secret, and Catskin are all secret relationship tropes.  I also have 5 high school aus 🤭  I guess secret young love somehow became my favourite thing!
Love you bunny 💓💓

I have a lot. May I? 2,5,6,9,10,12,19,20,24,28,29 💙💙💙
Thank you Anon!!!
I really love answering these, I think at least one of you reads them so, hey there's that lol.
so today in this essay I will... lol
You are getting a great start to my autobiography for when I become a world fandom of naruto erotica superstar and people want to read my story of a troubled but brilliant smut writer.
hahahahah jk
but seriously, I should have just gone down the whole list of questions lol
Much love, stay safe and sane out there.
#2 fav feel good movie
Anything disney really or Forrest Gump
#5 who am I most myself around
My Three best friends, they are the sisters I was blessed to find, but mostly, because I’m an introvert, they found me and adopted me and I am forever grateful.
#6 Nice things to say about myself
Physical: I really like my eyes, my lips, and my bottom Non-Physical: I like that I have learned to be comfortable with who I am, that I can stand up for myself now, and for other’s because of that. I like that even though sometimes I’m scared of things, I try not to let that stop me, and I like that I’m curious, about everything lol
#9 What calms me
depends what got me upset in the first place, it can be instrumental music, I prefer Chopin, or like celtic forest music. The outdoors, the smell of woods and forests and ocean. and honestly, sometimes just straight out bawling in my car when I can’t stop bottling it up anymore.
#10 Something I’m excited for
well at the moment @genmaweek lol (shameless plug) um, I ordered a new headset I’m excited to get, I have my desk all decked out in razer product so it lights up all pretty lol Maybe planning a camping trip soon to get out for a bit.
#12 How am I
Well, I could be better I guess but just working on managing everything little by little. trying to focus on progress rather than were I was or where I should be.
#19 most important things in my life
I mean the cliche answer is obviously the people I love, but something else; just feeling safe right now. In every way, having a home, having a job, financial security, being healthy, having people that I care about and care for me that I can lean on for emotional support, all of those things that make me feel safe, and I am grateful for all of it even more so in this time.
#20 What do I miss most
I miss visiting people, I miss traveling. I was supposed to visit my family in Guatemala, and go to Japan again this year. I miss movie theaters. I love movies and went to see them alone all the time.
#24 something I do to destress
Write is the first answer, I have taken up drawing, I watch movies, clean, listen to music, talk to my friends, smoke weed, depends on why I’m stressed.
#28 hugs or hand holding
so, I’m not a super touchy person, but when I am comfortable with someone I am clingy, so both?
#29 Morning, afternoon, or night
Not morning for sure

Hi, I was wandering if you could tell us about your journey to Japan. ( how did it start and so on) , if it is too private please ignore this message. I really like your blog 🌸
Thank you! I will tell you, but I warn you, it will be long and probably veer off topic haha
I was first introduced to Japan through anime and manga, and I'm going to sound so old, because it was through a friend's MSN name. Anyone remember how we used to make the longest names filled with emojis and stuff we liked? Yeah, titles like 'Bleach' and 'Naruto' was in her name so I asked her about it, and that's how I started watching some anime and reading manga around when I was 14-ish. But what pushed me to actually consider learning Japanese for real, to go to university to study Japanese, was the books by Haruki Murakami. It all started, on any regular day, I can't remember the weather or anything, but I was 15-16. I would always browse the bookstore if I was in town, and I did just that this day. I happened to see the title 'Norwegian Wood' in the English fiction section (which in our bookstore is pretty small, because English is not our first language). Anything foreign, with a title having something to do with Norway will of course catch my eye (I didn't know about the Beatles song) and so I picked it up. Learned that the author was Japanese and wondered what he would be writing about our woods for. Turned out it had nothing to actually do with Norway but, it sparked my interest in his writing. It felt different from other authours, and I wanted to know where it, the writing, and his way of thinking, came from. So after reading through all of his books that were available in English, I went on to thinking that I need to learn Japanese so I can read his books in Japanese and get to the bottom of this. So with this goal in mind, but still being unsure if I should go on to study just Japanese (what can I even use it for other than reading books? maybe Chinese would be smarter?) I applied to a one-year programme where the main focus was on Chinese, with a little dabbling in Korean and Japanese as well. It was a wonderful year, I liked Chinese but I couldn't get comfortable with the different tones, I am unable to hear the difference. With Korean I still can't see how their writing is so easy, it looks too similar. Japanese was the one which fit me the most. We went on a classtrip to all three countries and had a good time. After that year was over, I realized Japanese was the best one out of the three for me and so I applied to a university in the UK with Japanese studies. 4 years with one year being in Japan. During my year abroad I joined the university kyudo (Japanese traditional archery) club and fell in love with that too, deepening my want to stay in Japan. Had to go back to the UK for the fourth year, and then back to Norway after my degree was finished. It took some time before I was able to get a job in Japan, with English not being my first language. But eventually someone gave me a chance. I've been working here for over two years now, as an English teacher for kids. The work itself is fine and sometimes I enjoy it, but I was not born to be a teacher. So I am working on getting my Japanese up to N1 level for the exam in December. If I pass, I will think about changing work to something else. Now I am working from the afternoons to late nights, when I am more of a 9-5 kind of gal. So my journey in Japan is still not over! I just moved to a different prefecture, (still the same job, got a transfer within the company) and am still not used to being here. And did I read Murakammi's books in Japanese? Yes I did. Well, so far I have only read Norwegian Wood in Japanese out of his fiction books, but I enjoy quite immensely his essay collections, that have not been translated which I think is a shame because I think everyone would enjoy them, they're witty and interesting.
That was very long and I am sorry. I always end up babbling and not knowing how to keep it short and simple. Hope this answers your question!
TLDR; introduced to anime and manga, then caught by Haruki Murakami and his misleading titles and ended up studying Japanese and got a job here.

[ @sasuhinamonth || SasuHina Month 2019 || Day Seven: Falling in Love with an Ex ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata ] [ SasuHina ] [ Verse: Best Years of Your Life ] [ AO3 Link ]
...he’s pretty sure there’s some kind of unwritten code about this. Friends’ exes are, surely, off-limits. He’s heard the phrase “used goods” before...but that pisses him off. For Sasuke, it’s more a betrayal of trust, in a weird way. Sure, Naruto isn’t dating Hinata now...but they were an item for over a year in high school.
And then, well...graduation came, and...that all fell apart when he moved states for a sports scholarship, and she stayed local. There were a few weeks of long distance communication before he decided he wasn’t too fond of being tied down to someone so many miles away...and with so many ‘new opportunities’ to explore.
When he told Sasuke that during a visit home, the Uchiha nearly decked him.
Really?
Really?!
Well...he is, admittedly, a little biased. You see...Sasuke had harbored a crush on the little Hyūga lady for nearly all of high school. But he never made a move, seeing as how Hinata has been pining for Naruto for far, far longer.
So, they finally gave it a try their senior year. And for a while? Things seemed to go swimmingly. Naruto boasted about how thoughtful Hinata was, how attentive, how sweet…
And Sasuke just grit his teeth and went with it.
So when he heard that Naruto was abandoning that just because it would take a little effort? Just because there were other tails to chase now that he was suddenly free of their small town? It infuriated him.
But...he didn’t say anything. Partly because, well...Naruto was Naruto. There was never any stopping him once he made up his mind about something.
...and maybe...just a tiny part of him was glad. Not because Hinata would now be heartbroken - never that. But because - just maybe - how he could have his chance. Seize it before something else were to come up and beat him to the punch a second time.
But how to do so without being too hasty? In no way does he want Hinata to feel...pressured. Or like he’s taking advantage of a failed relationship for his own gain.
By some odds, they are both attending the same school: one just a town over from where they all grew up. Hinata is studying humanities. Sasuke? Business. Only because it’s what his father wants him to do. Beyond that, he has little idea what to do with himself once schooling ends.
Well...except for one thing.
There’s only one class they share together: a core credit English block. For the first week or so after the bomb drops, he isn’t sure what to do. He hasn’t really talked to her - they haven’t even acknowledged that they share the class. But Sasuke notices that, the day after Naruto informed him he was going to cut ties? She isn’t there.
...or the next day.
Then the weekend comes, and he finds himself embroiled in anxiety. Is she all right? It’s not like her to just...skip class. Sure, this is a bit of a big deal, but…
Come Monday, he gets to the proper room a bit early, lingering outside as the previous class awaits to be released. Leaned against a wall, he glances over as someone else approaches...and nearly chokes.
It’s her.
She looks...neutral. Blank face, typical clothes...and yet he feels nervous to approach her. Should he…?
“...Sasuke?”
The sound of his name earns a small jolt. “...hey.”
“I never noticed you were in this c-class…!”
“Yeah...gotta love core credits, right?”
That earns a small scoff of amusement. “Mm...I just want to get to the interesting classes. I already took four years of English in high school…”
“Exactly. Though I was done writing literature essays.”
She manages a small smile. “Well...next time a group project comes up, I’ll k-know who to ask, right?”
“Uh, yeah...right.”
Class passes without incident. Having a few hours before his next one, Sasuke idles in the hall afterward, checking his phone for a text from his mother.
“Hey.”
Another jump. Hinata again…? “...hey.”
“Do you, um...do you have another class coming up?”
“Not until three, no.”
“Oh! M-me either - my next is at four.”
“...oh.”
An awkward pause.
“D...do you want to, um…?”
A dark brow perks.
“I...I haven’t had any lunch yet. I was, um...I was wondering if you’d like to g-go with me? I haven’t seen you in s-so long! And...I don’t get to keep up with many of our...o-of our classmates from high school.”
...he blinks. Is...is she really…? “Uh, yeah...sure.”
Hinata perks up. “G...great! Any, um...any preference?”
“Nah, not really. I usually just go to the Hub.”
“Oh! There’s a little cafe just off campus I like to go to - it’s r-really reasonably priced! And not very crowded, thankfully.”
“Sure, sounds good.”
As it turns out...it’s a nice little place. Sasuke branches out so little, he never even knew it was here. They order something quick and simple, sitting and just...chatting.
...never once does she slip. He watches her carefully, wanting to be sure she’s not still upset. But though maybe a bit subdued, she otherwise seems...fine.
...he expected something, well...more than that. But he’s also glad she seems okay.
“This is...this is nice! I usually don’t have anyone to eat with…”
“Yeah, me neither. Been too nose to the grindstone to make any new friends yet.”
“M-me too. But...I want to work on that. I want to...to branch out more!” She gives a little smile. “But...I thought maybe I’d, um...practice a bit with someone I know. That I’m...a-already comfortable with.”
...damn it, she’s still so cute.
“That’s all right by me. We should, uh...do this again.”
“O...okay! Yeah!”
Sasuke manages a smile of his own. Sorry, Naruto...consider the bro code broken.
                                                           .oOo.
     Some modern this time around as we wrap up the first week! I always love the love square trope with team seven + Hinata...where Sasuke secretly has feelings for Hinata. So I tend to indulge in it in modern where I have a bit more freedom than canon x3      Naruto, if you're not gonna appreciate our queen Hinata...Sasuke has no choice but to step in. You snooze, you lose!      Anyway, that's all for today's SHM drabble! I'll be back tonight with the daily - thanks for reading!

Our Nights Are Quiet But Never Silent
Fandom: Haikyuu!!
Rating: T
Pairings: Iwaoi and Matsuhana
Summary:  Hajime realizes he should probably more concerned about the fact that he’s been effectively kidnapped- if quietly agreeing to cooperate with this madness counts as being kidnapped- and that he has no idea where they’re going or when they’ll be back, but honestly he’s been through too many of Oikawa’s- and this is definitely all Oikawa despite the fact they’re currently striding towards Makki’s sister’s car- hare-brained schemes to really care. He knows the drill by now.
Also found on AO3 and FF.net
A/N- Okay so I was meant to write my chapter for the DA fic, but this happened instead? First Haikyuu!! fic so tell me what you think!
A sharp crack against the window pane breaks the silence of the summer night, and Hajime looks up from essay he’s writing. Crack. The sound is sharp against the serenity of the night, and he really has no choice but to huff and push his chair back, stretch his sore muscles, and make his way to the window. He opens it, leaning his head out, only to jerk backwards to narrowly avoid a third pebble, which clatters harmlessly, if noisily, on the wooden floor of his bedroom. He glares into the darkness before his eyes settle on the sheepish figure of his best friend, yet another noisy but harmless thing, in the yard, pebbles in hand. A car revs in the background, and he knows Hanamaki and Matsukawa are inside, waiting. He sighs, knowing there will be no progress made on the essay today. Summer homework blows anyway.
He nods quickly at Oikawa, and can see his friend’s face light up in a big grin. He grabs his wallet and house keys- though he knows he’s not likely to use them- before pausing for a second, debating what to do next. On the one hand, his parents have never been particularly light sleepers, he’s wearing his indoor slippers, and he could conceivably make it down the stairs and out the door without anyone realizing. On the other hand, Oikawa always brought out the madness in him. Decision made, he pulled out a pair of sneakers he’d stashed in his closet after last time, and didn’t bother changing out of his pyjamas- he doubted the other three had either- before crawling out of the window and climbing down the convenient tree who’s branches just happened to touch his window sill. He jumped from the lowest branch, landing in front of a grinning Oikawa.
“What are you waiting for, Shittykawa? Let’s go.” he said gruffly, choosing to overlook the way the moonlight made Oikawa’s hair shine and put his cheekbones in sharp relief.
“We’ve been waiting on you, Iwa-chan. So slow!” he replied, teasingly before grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the car.
(Hajime realizes he should probably more concerned about the fact that he’s been effectively kidnapped- if quietly agreeing to cooperate with this madness counts as being kidnapped- and that he has no idea where they’re going or when they’ll be back, but honestly he’s been through too many of Oikawa’s- and this is definitely all Oikawa despite the fact they’re currently striding towards Makki’s sister’s car- hare-brained schemes to really care. He knows the drill by now.)
They slide into the backseat, and there’s plenty of room, really, but their thighs end up pressed against each other anyway and it’s familiar, and warm, and safe, and the most comfortable Hajime has been all night. Makki raises his eyebrows at them in the rear-view, and Matsun gives them his signature shit-eating grin. Hajime says nothing, just looks pointedly at where Matsun’s hand rests on Makki’s knee. They seem to get the hint. Makki starts the engine and they’re out of the neighbourhood before Hajime can blink.
“So,” Makki asks to the car at large. “Where are we headed?”
The destination turns out to be a 24-hour American-style diner that had just opened up in some far corner of the city called ‘The Greasy Spoon’, which Oikawa promises is some kind of joke in English. Hajime figures if it’s got Matsun’s approval- and it had to have Matsun’s approval or they wouldn’t be going there at all- he has no room to complain. They practically fall out of the car, and Hajime takes a moment to smack Makki for playing only Naruto openings all the way there. The restaurant is fairly small, containing only a few booths and a countertop with red shiny stools. It looks very much like the diner in an old American film he had watched once with his mom, and Hajime is pretty sure that’s the point. It’s empty aside from the wait staff, on account of it being midnight, so the four of them have their pick of the tables. They choose a booth tucked away in the corner and pile in. Oikawa flirts shamelessly- harmlessly, Hajime reminds himself- with the waitress who blushes prettily and offers them a menu. Hajime rolls his eyes at his friend’s antics and shares a mildly exasperated look with Matsun and Makki, who are pressed unnecessarily close to each other given the size of booth.
(And Hajime has never been quite sure what’s going on with them. Any attempt to ask has been masterfully deflected by a snarky comment or well-timed joke. It’s not like there was a drastic change in behaviour or anything, in fact it took him weeks to realize anything was different between them. They just seemed closer, somehow, and Hajime, though he hated to admit it, was envious.)
They order milkshakes for everyone. Hajime asks for vanilla, knowing it would annoy Oikawa. He’s not wrong, since his best friend wrinkles his nose.
“Boring, Iwa-chan!”
“Oh, and what is the Grand King ordering then?” asked Matsun lazily, using the nickname bestowed upon him by Karasuno’s tiny number 10.
“Chocolate, of course! What else but a classic flavour to go with my classically good looks.” replied Oikawa, giving the waitress a toothy smile that made her giggle and Makki gag. Somehow it was Hajime’s heart that fluttered at the sight.
Makki and Matsun order a single strawberry milkshake.
“With two straws” Makki adds, throwing the waitress a wink. She smiles indulgently at them, taking all the menus but one, just in case.
“I can never tell if you two are serious.” pouts Oikawa, and Hajime can’t help but agree.
“Oh but we’re always serious” says Makki, fluttering his eyelashes at them.
“Then are you two dating or not!”
“Well of course.” his tone becomes suddenly solemn “Issei’s the love of my life.”
“Aww babe, you’re so sweet.” Matsun coos, looking at Makki with an exaggeratedly dopey expression. Makki grins, all traces of seriousness gone from his face, and Oikawa groans in frustration. Hajime, however, notices the soft smile the two exchange when they think he’s not looking, and everything clicks into place.
Their milkshakes arrive, and the four suddenly realize they’re starving. They fight over the menu, nearly knocking over their shakes before Hajime grabs it through sheer upper-body strength and force of will, and orders burgers and fries for everyone. He adds four cokes to the list as an afterthought because he just knows someone- Oikawa- is going to complain that they’re thirsty halfway through the meal.
“Such a brute, iwa-chan” Oikawa whines, flipping his hair and crossing his arms over his chest.
“Drink your milkshake Trashykawa.”
Makki and Matsun are making good on their two straw deal. The heart eyes they’re making at each other over the frothy shake might be mostly to fuel Oikwa’s frustration- it’s working- but knowing what he does now, Hajime can see the genuine affection underneath and wonders how he could have missed it before. He snaps a picture when they aren’t paying attention. He’s never been the best photographer, the other three- even Matsun- far outstrip him in that area, but he thinks this one came out pretty well. The two of them look… soft. And happy. He sends it on the group chat, knowing that Oikawa would follow it up with a series of angry emojis that would just make their day.
(Part of him wishes he could be so blatant, that he could lean against Oikawa, hold hands under the table, share milkshakes, just tell the world that this boy was his. But then again, did Oikawa even want to be his alone? Was there a them that existed beyond childhood best friends and partners on the court? Hajime was too much of a coward to find out.)
“So Iwazumi.” Matsun grins as Makki slurps up the last of their shake, “Your tastes lean more toward vanilla huh?” he asks with a suggestive quirk of his eyebrows.
“That would be telling.” responds Hajime primly, pleased that he delivered the line without a blush or a stutter.
Makki chokes on the remnants of his milkshake, but saves himself with a Cheshire-cat smile. “Ooh, vanilla in the streets but chocolate in the sheets, aren’t we, Iwa-chan.”
Oikawa bristles besides him, because he’s made it very clear that that name is his, and Oikawa can be more possessive than the average toddler if given half the chance.
“That doesn’t even make sense.” he splutters, and Hajime would be paying more attention to the curious way his friend colours up if he wasn’t trying so hard to melt into his seat at the implication of Makki’s statement.
(One traitorous corner of his brain wonders exactly how far down that blush goes)
The waitress soon arrives with their burgers, and the discussion soon turns to lighter topics. They talk about volleyball and anime and Oikawa’s ever present fan club and the books they’ve been reading-because they’re all secretly nerds- and everything in between. Oikawa steals a bite of Hajime’s burger even though they’re both eating the exact same thing, inciting an age old argument which Makki and Matsun gleefully narrate like sports commentators. They unanimously announce Hajime the winner since, as Makki claims, pouting is an automatic forfeit. Oikawa throws a french fry at Makki, which he easily catches in his mouth, much to Oikawa’s outrage. Matsun laughs so hard soda comes out of his nose and Hajime orders another basket of fries to placate Oikawa, who takes a swig of his coke to calm down.
“Aren’t you using a straw? You heathen!” asks Makki as he notices Oikawa drink straight from the bottle.
“Straws are for plebs like you Makki.” he replies sweetly “I find there’s nothing more satisfying than the feel of the cool, hard tip against my lips.”
Hajime chokes on his burger and Oikawa freezes, realizing what he’s just said.
“The bottle!” he shrieks, “I was talking about the bottle!”
Hajime doubts Makki can hear him as he’s almost fallen out of the booth he’s cackling so hard. He’d help him if he could, but he’s still coughing on that burger. Matsun leans over the table and pats him on the back.
“It’s not too late to run you know.” he stage whispers.
“It was too late years ago.” replies in gasp, red-faced and not entirely sure what he’s admitting to. Okay that’s a lie. He knows exactly what he’s admitting to.
Oikawa looks seconds away from strangling Makki, who’s laughing so hard he’s not making a sound, just moving back and forth and clutching his stomach in a way that can’t be healthy. Matsun discreetly moves his cola away from Makki’s elbow and loudly engages Hajime in a conversation about the superiority of ghosts vs werewolves- Hajime is firmly in the werewolf camp in this debate while Matsun stubbornly clings to the delusion that ghosts are good for anything more than a few weak jump scares- until the other two are slowly drawn in and relative peace reigns once more. Hajime watches Oikawa’s animated face and hands as he argues that they’re all clearly wrong and that aliens are the true winners, and wonders when exactly he fell for this idiot, before jumping in to defend werewolves, because come on anyone with eyes can see that they’re the superior creature.
(They don’t talk about the future. About universities and careers and who’ll be doing what where after this year is over. They don’t talk about how these trips have been- and will become- more and more frequent the closer they get to graduation, how  none of them want to let go of this fragile bubble they’ve built for themselves in since their first year of high school. And they definitely don’t speak about the way Oikawa rests his fingers on Hajime’s wrist as his knee is pressed against Matsun’s and his ankle is tangled with Makki’s, or the fact that this position is mirrored in some way by the other three to form a complicated web of connections that grounds their little group. Hajime is glad of this.)
It’s Matsun who notices that the sky is beginning to grow lighter, and with a muffled swear calls for the bill. They each dig through their wallets and throw down enough to cover their bill before rushing back to the car. They’ve had these little escapades for a year now without their parent’s knowledge, and they’d like to keep it that way, which may not be possible if Makki’s sister wakes up to find her car missing. Hanamaki Kaori is a wild card at the best of times- she had taught Makki how to drive illegally after all- and Hajime isn’t willing to risk his freedom for the rest of the summer on whether she was in a good enough mood to not rat out her little brother.
They drive home in relative silence, content and oddly awake, despite having been up all night. Matsun has his hand on Makki’s knee again, and Oikawa’s slender setter’s fingers are tapping a distracting rhythm onto Hajime’s thigh. He watches them move for a moment, debating carefully. In the end, he’s not quite sure what makes him reach for those fingers, interlacing them with his own. It might be the way they had all avoided the elephant in the room at the diner that night, or the way Matsun and Makki had been so casually affectionate, or it may be the serene atmosphere of the car even as Makki races against time to get them all home, or the way Oikawa’s features are perfectly framed against the backdrop of a slowly pinking sky. It could be any one of these reasons or a combination of them all that urges Iwaizumi Hajime to stop being a coward.
Oikawa looks at him with wide eyes, because they’ve done this before, held hands, but it’s not quite the same. They’re closer somehow. Hajime wants to look away, but he’s transfixed by those chocolate brown eyes, which is stupid because he’s seen those eyes every day since he was seven. He’s not sure if it’s just wishful thinking, but he senses something akin to hope in Oikawa’s gaze, in the way he squeezes his hand and doesn’t let go. He pretends not to notice Makki smiling at him in the rear view or Matsun’s shit-eating grin.
They reach Hajime’s house first and he hops out of the car. It’s not until he reaches the tree by his window that he realizes that he hasn’t let go of Oikawa’s hand. His friend glances at their interlocked fingers, and then back up at him.
“Iwa-chan?” he asks, tilting his head quizzically.
“Yeah, Tooru?”
Oikawa gives a little gasp at that, as though by simply using his first name Hajime has answered every question that has been swirling around in his head. He steps closer with fire in his eyes, and Hajime swallows heavily, heart thumping as Oikawa leans down and presses a chaste kiss to his lips. He steps back, a little shy, a little unsure and Hajime lets out a frustrated groan and untangles their fingers to grab his best friend by the collar and pull him down for a repeat performance, deeper and needier than before. He reaches up to run his fingers through Oikawa’s hair as the taller boy wraps his arm around his waist. It’s just as soft as it’s always been, but this feels different somehow. They break apart when the need for air becomes too much.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all night.” he mutters, his voice raw.
“Me too…Hajime.” replies Oikawa with a teasing smirk and Hajime is pretty sure his heart stops right there.
“You idiot.” he says instead “I’ve loved you since we were thirteen!”
Oikawa’s eyes grow comically wide. “You mean we could have been doing this for years?”
He sounds genuinely heartbroken and Hajime isn’t sure if he’s a terrible person for finding the expression on his face adorable.
“I guess we’ll have to make up for lost time.” he whispers leaning towards Oikawa once more.
“I guess we will.” Oikawa bends to close the distance, when a loud buzzing shatters the atmosphere. Oikawa picks up his phone with a frustrated “What?!” and Hajime can hear Matsun on the other line.
“Time to get moving lover-boy, we have three more stops to make and Makki’s slowly losing his shit.”
Oikawa’s ears turn red at the lover-boy comment, which Hajime finds strange. It’s hardly the first time they’ve called him that and it’s never garnered such a reaction before. Then again, Hajime supposes Oikawa had never really been serious about this before. At least that’s what he hopes.
“You could have just honked!” Oikawa hisses into the phone.
“And wake up the entire neighbourhood? Are you an idiot?”
Hajime snorts and Oikawa shoots him a wounded look.
“I’ll be there, give me a minute.”
“You have thirty seconds or we’re leaving without you!”
There’s an audible click as Matsun hangs up.
“You better get going, Trashykawa” Hajime says with a grin.
“Mean iwa-chan!” pouts Oikawa, before breaking out in a smile and pressing a quick kiss to his forehead.
“See you later Tooru.”
“See you later Hajime.”
Oikawa dashes off to the car and practically throws himself in. Makki takes off like the devil is on his tail, and Hajime would be worried if he didn’t know that Matsun would have him calmed down and following the speed limits in a second. He watches until he can no longer see the car in the distant horizon, before making his way up the tree and into his room.
(He ends up messaging Oikawa before collapsing on his bed in an effort to get a couple hours of sleep before his day officially starts, and if he sends Makki and Matsun a simple “thank you” as well, well that’s his own business.)
A/N-  In short I’m graduating Uni in two months and I have a lot of feelings whoops. I went out for dinner and a long drive with some friends and this popped out of there. I hope it’s good! I have lifted an entire conversation from today’s dinner, good luck figuring out which one…

It cannot be denied that media and gadgets play a huge role both in my childhood and especially now at present. Reminiscing about the gadgets and games I played is so nostalgic. I can still remember that it was in the year 2007 where my grandmother bought a PC as a gift for my older cousins so that they can print and type their home work. I can still vividly remember my grandmother specifically saying “upaya na dre niyo pag minulayan” which translates to promise that you won’t play games in it. But of course, being the typical disobedient grandchildren, my older cousins took turns playing games such as DOTA, Rakion and Flyff. Being a kid, I didn’t completely understand the complexity of the mechanics of these games and so I settled with the website called y8 and played with my cousin Fabian each time we had the chance. I can still even remember us sneaking at night just to play games at y8.com. As time went by, I eventually got bored of playing games at y8 because I realized that it was for kids. As a naive kid, I idolized my older cousins so much, I started to play DOTA also. I was about 6 years old during this time and I got very addicted to playing DOTA because not only can I play it at home, I can even go to my uncle’s computer shop and play with other kids for free. I remember some of my aunts saying to my mom that I would no longer excel at school because I got addicted to playing DOTA. Being the typical Filipina mother, my mom quickly banned me from playing computer games for awhile because according to her, games made my mind rot. The ban that my mom imposed lasted for a few months and so I looked for other ways to entertain myself at home during the weekends. During this time, CDs were booming and so I asked my parents for a lot of them since we had a DVD player. Along with my sister, we finished a lot of movies and shows together. But of course just like any other siblings, my sister and I fought a lot about who gets to watch the TV. In times wherein she got the remote first, I had no choice but to deal with watching barbie and princess movies the whole day. Being a smart kid, I hid the remote in the morning so that she wouldn’t find it in the morning. This idea of mine proved to be very effective because no matter what time I wake up, my sister wouldn’t be able to find the remote. With this, I reigned supreme over the TV without having the need to compete with my sister at all. After getting addicted to Avatar the Last Airbender, I got addicted to Pokemon next. This was also the time that I started collecting Pokemon cards and started trading with friends. Although the Pokemon cards got lost, my addiction for Pokemon stuck with me even until now. Going back, Bakugan started gaining popularity and of course I went along with the trend. After Bakugan came Beyblades. And just like any other trend, I went along as well. In the year 2010, Facebook was booming around the world and of course I also went along with this trend and this time, we already had a laptop that I shared with my sister. I played games such as farmville, ninja saga, social empires, backyard monsters and more. I remember competing with Fabian all the time and always comparing who had the better base but of course I was always on top. Fabian was better at shooting games like counterstrike. It was at this time that Fabian and I started competing over practically anything including toys and gadgets. But in terms of gadgets, Fabian was always ahead of me because his dad would always get him the latest gadget. That time, the trendiest mobile console games were the Gameboy, DS and PSP. Fabian and I had the privilege of collecting all three. Looking back, I realized that I was already so blessed during my childhood because I was able to keep up with trends. And from what you can probably observe, the role of media in my life at that time was mainly for entertainment and socialization simply because I was unaware of the other applications of media at that time.
As I grew up, the role of media suddenly became more broad and profound. I think it was about the age of 10 that I started to really get interested about watching the news and I also got more engaged into reading books and almanacs. I can even still remember changing the channel of the TV in the living room from Cinema 1 to GMA just because it was time to watch the news. Of course my cousins were not happy about this but at least my grandmother was happy about it. I think this is one of the reasons why my grandmother favors me more over my other cousins because our taste in food and shows were very similar. I can remember my cousins saying “aadi hi Lorenz nagpapaka lagas lagas” which means that I acted as an elderly person even if I was still young. Because of this, I was known to be “KJ” among my cousins and honestly, I still am. But going back, the role of media started to shift from only entertainment towards a more practical use of media. At 4th grade in LPHS, we were already learning about how to use Microsoft Word, Power Point and Excel. This was the time where I used the weirdest of fonts and templates. These early stage learning about the other applications of media allowed me to explore more because for each essay or paper that I write, I get to read a ton of information and so I learned more. This was also when I started to learn about information literacy because each time that there was news about Naruto getting  a new power in Facebook, I would simply dismiss it as fake news because I waited and Naruto never got the power mentioned in those posts. From these experiences, I learned how to apply what I’ve learned in more practical uses such as typing papers, creating power points, gathering credible information and many more. In the year 2013, I got my very own Ipad which was actually quite late because my other cousins had Ipads of their own but nonetheless, having my own ipad revolutionized the way I interact with media because now, information is just a few taps away. I also took advantage of the fact that we were allowed to use our gadgets in LPHS and so I used my ipad to take down notes which may be common today but it was pretty new at that time. At this time, I was no longer focused to games compared to before but of course I still went along the trends such as Clash of clans, mini militia and many more. Fast forward to today, I no longer play a lot of games and I use social media the most specifically Facebook and Youtube. I realized that being media and information literate matters especially today wherein fake news and propaganda are rampant everywhere and I’m thankful for the many fake Naruto news because of them, I learned how to filter and evaluate information.
It was quite very nostalgic remembering the countless memories about my encounters and experiences with media as seen in the first wherein I was like watching a movie and rewinding it over and over in my own mind. The second and third photo shows how I mostly use my gadgets and media daily which is mostly for school and not really for entertainment. The last photo represents me being stressed because of media because although it allows me to connect with friends and the outside world especially during this pandemic, negative news that I see, especially about the failures of the government makes me feel stressed which is one of the bad effects of modern media. Moreover, the toxicity of people can be evidently seen in most social media platforms which makes me more stressed but nonetheless, reminiscing my childhood was very fun and enjoyable for me which is probably why I wrote a lot. Sorry.

The Frienships of Fandom
I already made a post about my thoughts on the final FT chapter and Gruvia. So, this post is a far more personal story that couldn’t have happened without Gruvia. Others have already spoken about the friends they made because of this series. Well, I wanted to do that, too, but because it’s me, it’s going to be ridiculously long. ^_~
First, a history lesson.
I started shipping Gruvia around 2011, and started getting into the fandom in 2012. That’s the first time I posted on a forum about Gruvia, and that was in the general shipping thread on Manga Fox (it was before shipping had it’s own sub forum there). I wasn’t a frequent poster (I went by the name Ramblria, which I think suited me lol), but I did lurk a lot, and I eventually started lurking on Tumblr a lot more, too. I remember being so happy with all the fan content being generated on Tumblr after Gray and Juvia had their unison raid of love. The gruvia tag was always active, positive, and fun.
When the shipping sub forum was finally created on Manga Fox, I eventually started posting in Gruvia’s thread during 2013. That’s when I met rieriebee, who was known as Darkhope over there. I knew her on Tumblr, too, because she created the amazing Gruvia Manifesto. We instantly bonded over Gruvia on Manga Fox. I think the pair of us created at least 80% of the content in that thread by throwing essay-sized posts at each other lmao. Rieriebee eventually asked me if I had Skype. I did not at the time, and evaded her requests to get it, because I was a pretty introverted, socially anxious person, and the idea of chatting with her verbally or on video seemed positively terrifying to me lmao.
Months and months passed, and it was now the summer of 2014. I was becoming a lot more active on Tumblr and Rieriebee reached out to me again. I knew at this point that she lived in the same place as I did, NY, and it made me even more anxious to speak to her, because I was worried she might want to meet once she found out that fact. But, having spoken to her for so long at that point, I felt like I already knew her. So, I took a chance, and got Skype at last, and we talked. And, lo and behold, she wanted to meet, and that’s exactly what we did. She brought her 413 Days magazine and I brought my gruvia plushies, and we’ve been best friends ever since.
Tumblr media
Rieriebee, also known as Marie, is nearly the exact opposite of the type of person I am lmao. She’s very extroverted, bubbly, brave, energetic, blunt, but also super friendly and inviting. Marie is very much “the more people, the merrier” kind of person, and without that trait I wouldn’t have many of the friendships that I currently do. But, among all the differences, we also had something very special in common with each other. Just like on Manga Fox, we could talk Gruvia until the sun went down (and many times we did). 
Honestly, I don’t know anyone who I could talk to about fandom as passionately as I can with Marie. She’s my favorite person to share a fanfic idea or headcanon with, because she always gives the best reactions, and is very supportive. I also don’t know anyone who would put up with talking to me about fandom as long as I do with Marie haha. We’ve joked recently that our phone convos are not complete unless we’ve reached our three-hour mark.  
Gruvia brought us together, but really, Marie brought us together, and we stayed together, because we quickly went from fandom friends to real friends. If Marie didn’t persist in trying to talk to me, even though I was so shy, I wouldn’t have met such an amazing person, and I certainly wouldn’t have continued to meet more amazing people.
One of those people was kanarenee, also known as Crystal. Marie and Crystal had known each other since 2006, as they were both huge Naruto fans. They kind of lost touch over the years, but Gruvia reconnected them again. Crystal contacted Marie, and Marie introduced her to me via Skype. Crystal and I’s first Skype chat  was kind of funny, because the second I saw her, I recognized her immediately, because she had linked a video of herself on Tumblr months earlier, where she had fangirled over the “I’m here with you” moment in 366. I liked that video a lot, because I agreed with it, but also because I’d never seen anyone make a video just to discuss the gruvia parts of a chapter. That made the video, and Crystal herself very memorable to me. She seemed like someone I’d like to be friends with. 
Tumblr media
Suffice it to say, Crystal and I bonded very quickly. Crystal, too, was quite bubbly, passionate, imaginative, kind, and inquisitive. We had a lot of interests in common including writing, books, a love for the Final Fantasy VII universe, super heroes, Game Of Thrones, and a variety of other random things that our Skype chats always devolved into haha. We, too, could easily Skype chat for hours (and we did, and do, many a time), going from Gruvia to anything and everything in between. We also shared a favorite character in common, and that was Juvia. We always had the same opinions, wants and needs for her character. I still remember when our one-on-one chat would just be the two of us throwing Gruvia headcanons at each other. It was glorious and effortless, and I instantly adored her.
It didn’t take long before the three of us formed a little group, and started The Gruvia Podcast together in December 2014 which we followed early the next year with a special video version.
Now, I’m going to take a slight detour, to introduce another of my close friends darkdreamerx, also known as Brittany. Brittany is Marie’s best friend, and we were essentially introduced on twitter. We had already been following each other on Tumblr without realizing. We both loved Nalu and Gruvia, and we ended up having our first meeting at the Kinokuniya bookstore. It was a few weeks after my birthday at that point, and I’ll never forget going into a little tourist shop, and Brittany pretending she was looking for a gift for her friend, asking my opinion on which keychain I thought was best, only so she could surprise me with it right afterwards as a gift. I’d known her a total of a few hours, and yet she still gave me a present for my birthday. That’s Brittany. She’s sweet, generous, fun, loving, and adventurous.
Tumblr media
We bonded over FT, but Brittany is a shoujo queen. Two of my most favorite series ever, Kamisama Hajimemashita and Akatsuki No Yona are ones I would never even have heard about if not for her. But our get-togethers span beyond just anime and manga. We’ve had so many good times over the last few years. We’ve gotten wonderfully (and terrifyingly lmao) lost in the city, sat in watching ridiculous fantasy movies, had sleepovers, danced to Brazilian Jazz, and been together for Christmas eve eve. I know we’ll continue to have a great friendship for many years to come.
Tumblr media
Now I’m going to talk about a Doosh. The dooshiedoosh, also known as Kat. She easily wins the best Tumblr username around, and don’t even try to look for a better one, because you won’t find it. Kat just naturally became friends with Marie, Crystal and I via Tumblr and twitter. I, personally, could not resist her wit, charm, intelligence, understanding and patient personality. Kat is very chill, but also knows what the fuck she is talking about, so don’t mess with her. She’s a psychologist by day, and super mom and wife by night!
Tumblr media
Marie and I have been to see Kat in Maryland so many times at this point, that we are practically honorary residents in her home (which is also the home of our drunk podcast). Her husband and daughter, who are also FT fans, have always been nothing but welcoming over the years, even though the three of us together means unbridled fangirling will surely occur. But they always understand and kindly tolerate it all. Going back to Kat herself, I admire how knowledgeable and pragmatic she is. I always appreciate her lending an ear whenever I need to talk. A true friend through and through.
Tumblr media
Once our four-some was formed, we were unstoppable in our love for each other and Gruvia. Which soon led us to our first big adventure together. We made plans to visit Crystal in Colorado, and dubbed the upcoming trip Gruvicon! This trip was to take place the summer of 2015. However, it hit a few snags along the way. Crystal was having some financial difficulties after her husband had gotten sick with diabetes. She was not sure if she could afford the trip any longer with us coming to visit her. Thankfully, things worked out with a lot of help from a now dear friend, but I’ll get back to that later.
As for me, my grandmother, who I had been very close to, had fallen critically ill less than two weeks before I was to leave on the trip. I was horribly torn, hoping that she’d get well somehow, so I wouldn’t have to make a painful choice either way. If not for Marie, Crystal and Kat, I don’t know how I would have coped with everything going on at that time. Sadly, my grandmother did eventually pass away the weekend before the trip. I debated whether to take the trip at all, but ultimately decided that I’d just be miserable at home. I wanted to escape. I wanted a distraction. I wanted to be with my friends. So, that’s what I did. Marie and I boarded a plane in NY, while Kat boarded a plane in Maryland, and we headed to meet Crystal in Colorado for our first adventure together!
What followed was an amazing experience. We all just clicked immediately. I felt like I’d known these ladies all my life. The very next day we all hopped in Crystal’s awesomely green car (aka The Avocado), and we headed on a road trip down to the four corners with a few stops along the way. We visited New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and returned to throughly explore Colorado. Our time together was so fun, and we never got sick of each other. We also made sure to make another video podcast now that we were all finally together.
However, this is not just when our own adventures were born, but Gruvia’s plushie adventures as well. The idea was originally Kat’s. She mentioned how Nasa has a mascot in the form of a rubber chicken, and suggested we use the Gray and Juvia plushies I made (and that Mashima retweeted) as our own mascots, and take pictures of them during the trip, as a way to share our vacation with the fandom. We instantly all loved the idea, and it’s become a fun side project throughout our visits to each other over the years.
Tumblr media
But this was only the first big adventure. The next time we all met up again there were a whole bunch of other plushies, and a new friend! As I had said, Crystal was having financial issues. Kat, Marie and I all helped out with what we could, but one of our podcast listeners and fellow Gruvia fan reached out to lend a huge helping hand. tea-lief, also known as Whitney, donated money to Crystal to help out with her husband’s medical bills and other expenses. If not for that, our first Gruvicon might have run into serious issues.
Whitney is an incredibly kind-hearted, generous, empathetic, optimistic and caring person. During our first trip to Colorado, I was shocked a stranger online was so quick to help out in such a big way. But, now, after being friends with Whitney these last two years, I’m no longer surprised, because that’s just the kind of person she is. She is always thinking of others before herself. And while her acts of kindness no longer shock me, I’m still always touched whenever she does something out of consideration for someone else.
Tumblr media
I can also relate a lot to Whitney. We are both a bit anxious and unsure of ourselves. But I can tell you, she needn’t be, because she is so very talented. Her art constantly blows me away. She’s always been a great artist, but she’s also constantly growing and improving, with each new art piece she creates becoming my new favorite of hers. She’s also incredibly supportive. I know if there’s a new note on Tumblr from her on my posts it’s bound to be filled with encouraging responses or tags that make me glow with happiness.
Backtracking a bit, as Crystal got to know Whitney better, she introduced us via our chat, and we all became fast friends. The next time we decided to meet again, Whitney joined Kat and Crystal as they headed on their separate ways to NY to visit Marie and I for Gruvicon 2016! We had to make another video podcast at my home this time during their visit, and of course the plushie adventures also continued!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since then I’ve hung out with Marie and Brittany on a regular basis. I’ve gone with Marie to see Kat in Maryland countless times. Crystal has since moved down to Texas, where Whitney is, and I recently went to visit them both this past June. And just this last weekend Kat drove up from Maryland to celebrate canon with Marie and I in Long Island. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this is just a small list of some of the people I’ve gotten to meet and become friends with over the last several years. Sarapyon, chanting-to-u, shir0usagi, bonneyq, thatsvichan, corxavis, Unisonraidd, canyoudigitmotherlicker, honeyteacake, and madaniss are also all lovely people I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know better/meet and/or chat with, and I’m so grateful for those opportunities.
And none of these friendships would have been possible without Gruvia. They all ultimately blossomed from that shared interest. Yes, they are just fictional characters in a fictional relationship, but the relationships with the wonderful people above are real and lasting. I love you guys so much. Thank you for making these last several years such an incredible rollercoaster experience. We’ve had our ups, our downs, and everything in between. But I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. <3
