see when a normal company decides to revamp their product, they plan it out and develop a concrete strategy and consider how it might be received by their customers. you’d think this would doubly apply in one of the largest companies in a notoriously struggling industry desperate for a sales boost.
and yet flashpoint and the ensuing cancellation of every book for the new52 was a surprise to even the person writing flashpoint

Hi! Can I ask an ikevamp request where the boys find MC's sketchbook and is filled with drawings and doodles of them? If all of the suitors is to much, then just do for Jean, Will, Theo, Mozart, Leo and Comte. Have a nice day! ^^
Bruh this is a genius idea @jeanstan . First of all thanks so much for this request and second of all of coarse I will do all the suitors. Why? Because I’m awesome. No I’m kidding, I’m literally the most clumsy, airheaded  person on this planet. Think brain fried Kaminari energy. Also I’m really sorry this took this long. Anywhooo let’s get into it shall we.

Ilevamp suitors finding mc’s sketchbook
Comte
you where just chilling in his armchair and doodling him when sleep over took you and fell asleep
being the gentleman he is he picked you up and set you down on his bed tucking you in nicely
then he noticed your sketchbook on the armchair
not even mr. Perfect-guy can resist tacking a little peek at it
so  he just looked at the page that was already open
an there he saw a pretty good drawing of him
Comte to his brain: take a peek you said. it will be fine you said. why are you looking through it. you said.
yup he ended up going through your entire sketchbook
he then wrote a little thank you next to your most recent drawing and set it next to you.
when you saw his little note you blushed, but at least he liked it
Leonardo da sleepy
you where both just sitting in the library
you got a bit hungry so you left to get a snack but you accidentally left your notebook there
you know this guy has a thirst for knowledge and that includes figuring out what’s in your notebook
he will pick it up and flip it open expecting to see notes or random drawings
nope nope he sees a bunch of drawings of him with notes like * damn that smile owns my heart* or * UUUUUUH why is he so annoyingly adorable*
This guy has the biggest smirk plastered on his face. when you come back into the room
“ I didn’t know I was annoyingly adorable Cara mia”
cue you turning tomato red
Napoleon
you where sparring ( or where watching the boys spar whatever fits)
after a few rounds you decided to get a drink and offered to bring drinks for the boys too
Jean excused himself and went to the bathroom and Leon was left alone
now your sketchbook was already just on the ground next to your hoodie
he didn’t touch it ‘cause he’s nice, but now..
he decided to take a peek
and he saw a sketch of him sparring
he flipped through it and found more pictures
him sleeping, him laughing, him teaching the kids the best thing that would describe him in this moment that meme: mha heart mah soul
and you catch him with the notebook in his hands
he just walks up to you and hugs you
Isaac
little bean
he stumbles across it by accident, literally stumbles
you dropped it and he tripped on it
he’s like the f is this?
he picks it up and opens it
oh my Lord
he’s as red as an apple ( pun intended😏)
there are a bunch of doodles of him some where he’s holding Harry, some where it’s only him looking through his telescope or just off into the distance
you: Hey Isaac have you seen my...
Isaac: no I haven’t seen the notebook, idk about a notebook, what is a notebook even
poor boy
you just hug him and reassure him you’re not mad, when he mumbles an apology
Jean
precious bean yes Isaac, Jean and Vincent are all beans. COME @ ME
so you carried that notebook around everywhere you went and while he is not as attentive as Arthur he still noticed
so when you left your notebook in his bedroom after bringing him breakfast he couldn’t resist the urge to take a peek
when he sees a bunch of drawing of him he’s..torn
on one hand he’s moved and is actually happy that you drew him on the other he doesn’t understand why you would want to draw someone as impure as him akgkgakgskgfau LOVE HIM PLS
when you come back into the room you panic a little ‘cause he’s staring at it with a blank expression
but then he apologizes and your panic melt away
he ask you why you drew him and you if play the “because I love you” card he will be shocked and happy and confused and surprised...( the list is so long A decided it would be best to just ad an etc. over here)
you hug him and reassure him he is important and you love him
Arthur
ok so he knew that the sketchbook was important to you right of the bat
being the annoying sweet person he is he decides to pester you more then ever
“ Whatcha got there Luv?” “It’s my notebook” “Can I see what’s inside” *flashes a severely annoyed look* “Arthur this is the 7th time today and i have the same answer. No.” “ Oh come on doll it’s just a peak” “It is closed for a REASON!”
Yeah you might have snapped at him a little but his ho guy ain’t giving up
so of coarse when you leave your notebook in his room he will act like he didn’t notice until you leave and then he will scramble out of his chair and nab the notebook
he opens it expecting a diary or just a bunch of notes only to come face to face with a bunch of pictures of him
he’ll raise an eyebrow and keep looking until he finds a very beautiful and realistic drawing of him sleeping with Vic and he looses his shit
he’ll run to you and pull you back into the room to cuddle and tell you how much he loves you no he’s definitely not crying
you don’t get what’s happening until he tells you he saw your drawing and you will turn slightly pink but honestly you just can’t be mad
Mozart
ok so we all know that when he finds this notebook he’ll be stone-faced  
you ain’t getting no type of emotion out of this tsuntsun
that is until he’s in public
once he’s in his room oh boy
at first it’s just a hint of a smile, but it gets bigger and bigger until he’s smiling like a dork as he inspects your drawings
he’ll never admit it but the fact that you drew him really warmed his icy heart
he even finds one where he’s by a Christmas tree smiling and a little note next to it saying “I’ll make him smile like this one day”
he closes the book and puts on his stone face again and leaves his room
in the corridor he runs into you
“ Hey, Wolf?” “What do you want.” “Isn’t that my notebook?” “Yes it is.” “So why do you have it?” “....Inspiration.”
yup now he has that notebook with him on the piano and only let’s you get it back if you want to doddle in it some more
Theo
you where cooking in the kitchen, whipping up some pancakes for the brothers
Theo came in to complain that there wasn’t enough syrup on his pancake and you flashed him a death glare and told him to get some from the cupboard
as he grumbles to himself h notices your sketchbook  on the counter
and he proceeds to open it and go through it
he sees a bunch of pretty decent drawings of him and he’s surprised
he’ll act all tough but he’s really happy
“ Oi, Hondjie! What is this?” he shows you your most recent sketch. The one where he’s walking King with a faint smile on his lips.
you instantly go bright red
“ Put that down! You where not supposed to see that! There not good just put it down”
he’ll sigh and pull you into a hug
“ I like it”
Vincent
smol bean
you left it in his room and he just wanted to take a peek
and he opened it up and saw a punch of sketches of him
they even had notes like “uhh stop moving you hand” or “how can someone be this pure”
he’s moved
will go and find you and apologize for looking in your notebook and will tell you how cute your drawings are
all in all he’s a sweet little angel but like who expected  anything else
Dazai
funny how he can’t remember your name but can remember exactly were you hide the sketchbook when you can’t take it with you
yup this guy just went and took it
he has no shame
he flicked trough it and smiled to himself
the drawings where adorable and funny and he loved it
you strait up walk in on him with the sketchbook and he just smiled at you
you turn pink trying to explain why you drew them
buuuut he just twirls you around and pules you into his lap smiling and you go over the drawing together recalling happy memories  
Sebastian
did somebody say Sebastian appreciation hours
You can’t really hide anything from Sebas can you
you went out to get groceries and he was cleaning up around the mansion
you had left your notebook tucked behind one of the library shelves and as he was dusting he found it
he opened it not knowing it was your notebook
he realized soon enough though
he just starred at the pages full of drawings of him
you waked in and he just calmly put the notebook down
he asks why you drew him and you turn pink
as you try to formulate a coherent response he sighs and makes his way to you
he gently flicks your forehead and smiles
“I never said I didn’t like them”
Will
ok so lets talk about our dear yandere boy Will
you hang out a lot at his villa
usually you are accompanied by Vincent
but today he remembered he had a painting to finish and left
you offered to walk him to the gate and he gladly accepted
however you forgot your sketchbook on the dining table
William instantly noticed this and couldn’t help but take a peek
he’s shooketh
the drawing are so cute  he really likes them
you come in and he smiles at you
your kind of embarrassed because 1 you didn’t want him to see that and 2 he asked you if you could draw in front of him
“ The way thou hand moves across this paper mesmerizes me”
you turn bright red but your happy he likes it

Tagging on to the #gettingrealaboutdogsports posts going around without hijacking someone else’s post... This will probably get super long because that’s what I do.
It’s all well and good to say things like dog sports should just be fun, it’s not serious, enjoy it and don’t get caught up in being too competitive, dogs are trying their hardest, etc. None of that is really wrong!! That is basically my attitude now but I have to confess it wasn’t always so.
My first agility dog, Kaden, did pretty well. Not like winning-nationals well, partly because we never went to nationals, partly he wasn’t that caliber. But he was super consistent once we got past some issues that I would certainly handle differently now, and he did well enough that it got me hooked on the sport. 
Then I “upgraded”. Typical agility story, start with the family pet, want to do more, get a ~real sports dog~. That would be Ryker. I thought I was ready for him. Hoo boy was I not. I liken it to going from driving the family Camry to a speeding freight train on crack. The difference was massive and let’s just say there was a looot of frustration both for me and Ryker.
And a big part of this is that the knowledge I needed to be a good team with Ryker just wasn’t there yet. Or if it was, it wasn’t nearly as easy to access as it is today. Facebook was barely a thing. Online dog training definitely wasn’t. Agility itself has changed a lot and the knowledge regarding better training and better handling has grown tremendously in the past 5-6 years alone. By which time I had given up on Ryker and got Solstice....
Solstice wasn’t what I wanted in my next attempt to get an agility dog. But she was what I needed. We bonded instantly. Probably because I can relate to crippling fear and anxiety far more easily..... That’s not to say I didn’t find her fears frustrating at times, because honestly I did, especially in the beginning. But I was able to relate to it and deal with it better than Ryker’s crazy crackhead and associated issues. Long story short, I learned a hell of a lot with Solstice and she changed me for the better and she’s the best dog to ever happen to me. 
And when she died at four years old, that was the worst crippling blow I have ever felt. That she also died the night of an agility trial was just the extra depressing icing on the Fuck You cake that the universe decided to serve me. If not for the fact that I had luckily acquired Chandra just three months earlier (after the Ordeal that it was to get her), I honestly can’t say that I would have survived losing Solstice.
But I did survive. Getting back into agility was incredibly difficult. It’s still damn hard sometimes. Thinking about what could have been and what should have been happening if Solstice were still here. Going to trials and thinking “Solstice should be here”. Watching dogs of her “generation” continue on and get birthdays she’ll never have. It fucking sucks. I don’t talk about it much anymore but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t still hurt every damn day.
Long story short-ish, I definitely learned the lesson to not take dog sports too seriously and that anything going wrong is my fault, not my dog’s. Solstice taught me that and I’m glad I learned that before she died and we had so many good times together and she grew so much more confident. Someone once asked me how I don’t get frustrated with Chandra when things are blowing up in the ring, and I said “well, the worst thing that happens is she dies. Anything else is fixable.”
idk what my point here was besides saying too much. Yeah it’s irritating to see people blaming their dogs and getting mad when things don’t go well. I see this every weekend and I’m completely torn about it because on the one hand it is one of the things that motivate me to step away from teaching agility and just shrink back into my own dogs, care less about what others do. Because I still enjoy agility but people sure do make it hard. On the other hand it motivates me to keep putting myself out there and inspire change in those who are ready for it. I used to be That Person and now I’m not.

Some friends I dropped recently. We brought out the worst in one another, and I felt like it was time to leave and try to put more energy into other people.

55. Share a relationship story.
We were in a long distance thing a few years back. We started off as friends and I realized I had feelings, but we waited until the con we met at to make things official. As I was leaving he asked if he could write something about me and he wrote a full 8 pages. Additionally, at our next con, I was super sick (we didn’t know until later I had mono) and almost fainted. He stayed with me the whole time, and, even though I told him it was possible I had mono, he risked it and still kissed me. 
I don’t blame him for not having feelings for me after that. I think we rushed in and were caught up in the obsession, which lasts about 4 months. I was sure of my emotions, and he wasn’t. It’s ok. We knew what we were getting ourselves into to an extent. We’re still distant friends, I think? No hard feelings.
