SYNOPSIS .・゜゜・ you and song eunseok are known for being academic rivals, it was no secret. the whole school knew you guys always fought for the number 1 spot, which also led to the public assuming you both hated each others guts. but, did you guys really hate each other?

PAIRING .・゜゜・ eunseok x fem! reader

GENRE .・゜゜・ school au, fluff

TROPE .・゜゜・ academic rivals to lovers

START - END .・゜゜・ 03.31.24 - ongoing

TAGLIST .・゜゜・ feel free to ask!

01. WILL YOU HELP ME STUDY?

AGAIN, THE EXAM RESULTS came in and of course, song eunseok just had to be number one, for the 3rd time in a row. the first time it didn’t really bug you, since you believed the boy was just lucky and you’ll be number one for the second exam. but then the second results came in, you were still number two. and now the third results, again, number two. you stared at the list that was stapled against the wall, specifically looking at Number 1. Song Eunseok and you felt nothing but anger. “how could i let him win three times in a row?” you mumbled underneath your breath before walking away from the list.

“she’s upset isn’t she?” eunseok’s friend, sungchan, nudged him while pointing to you walking away.

“why are you asking me? i don’t care whether she’s upset or not, she earned her spot and i earned mines.” eunseok replied abruptly, startling his friend with the tone of his voice.

“i mean, dont you feel a little bit bad? i bet she’s been working her hardest for these past exams.” sungchan said, but eunseok showed no sign or even felt bad for you. “well clearly she hasn’t been working hard enough.” before his friend could say anything else, eunseok walked away without mumbling another word.

he walked into an empty classroom to study for the next exam that was just around the corner, who knew you were doing the same exact thing, at the same time…in the same classroom he had just happened to walk into. as soon as you heard the door open you looked back, and then made eye contact with your academic rival, song eunseok. you quickly turned away and cursed at yourself, “out of all classrooms, he had to choose this one?”

“this is new. switching up where to study, huh?” eunseok was first to start up an conversation as he sat quite far away from you. “i suppose so. a group of people took my usual classroom, so i have no choice but to stay in here now.” you responded quietly, though the boy still heard you.

“so, how do you feel about the latest exam results?” eunseok asked, and you knew he was just asking that to make you mad. “shut up, i don’t wanna talk about it.”

all your academic rival could do was laugh at your reply. it seemed like he didn’t take you very seriously, which pissed you off but of course you didn’t wanna stir up drama between you two so you kept quiet. it was obvious eunseok was very happy that he placed first three times in a row, but does he feel the need to brag it in your face?

“ok, i get it. you placed above me three times. congratulations, but just a reminder there’s two other exams waiting and i’ll be sure to be number one for those. don’t get too full of yourself, song eunseok.” you said to him, and the boy’s smile faded as he stared at you.

“oh there’s no need to worry about me. these past exam weeks you’ve been overly confident, and now look where you are. below me. the key is to not be so confident that you’re gonna place first, alright?” just listening to the tone of eunseok’s voice, it was clear he was being serious this time.

“overly confident?” you scoffed. the audacity eunseok had to say you are overly confident. and though you are confident, what’s wrong with that? can’t a girl be confident sometimes? eunseok looked over at the desk you were sitting at; even though you two were sitting quite apart from each other, he had good vision. “what are you studying, math?”

you turned around to look at him before responding, “yes, got a problem? the next exam is based on—” before you could even start to be smart with eunseok, he interrupted you before you could let another word out of your mouth. “you do realize you’re studying the wrong unit, right?” he interrupted, smirking as you looked back at your notes.

“oh what do you know about which unit we’re supposed to be studying?” you say frustratedly, and watched as the boy pulled out his giant notebook. “if you were as smart as me, you’d know our teacher continuously told us to study unit 10.” your rival responded and showed his notes in the process. you couldn’t believe eunseok had such smug look on his face after being right.

you angrily put away your notes and grabbed a new sheet of paper. you faced eunseok who just stared at you, “i don’t have the notes for unit 10. im gonna need them to study.” you say, and the other tilt his head with an eyebrow raise, “oh? you need my notes now?”

you sigh, “what do you think?”

“you didn’t ask very nicely, y/n.” eunseok replied, and you just scoffed.

“WILL YOU HELP ME STUDY?” you ask, and the boy smirked.

“of course.”

He doesn't deserve it I do

Summary:where Kylian is annoyed after the ballon d'or ceremony

I'm about to go to bed when I hear the door Slam

I don't even need to ask what's going on because I saw the whole thing on TV

"You need to calm down" I say

"Calm down?, for 3 years in a row I've had to go to that ceremony and come back home empty handed, every year I make a fool of myself by leaving empty handed, Messi just won the ballon d'or and Erling just won the best striker award, he doesn't deserve it I do, i work hard day and night and only for me to come up third on the podium, what the hell even is that

"Kylian you need to control your anger, it's not going to help"

"I can't calm Down and I also can't control my feelings, did you even see the podium?"

"Yeah I did"

"I came 3rd, 3rd place, how? I don't know, this is Erling's first time attending and he gets an award and i leave empty handed, I've been attending this stupid ceremony ever since 2018 and I've only ever won once"

"Amour, stop, you need to calm down you're frustrated which is understandable, but you need to control your emotions" I say making him bury his head inside my neck

He sighs

"I know, It's just angering, you know how hard i've worked"

"I know my love" I say wiping the tear that's escaped his eye

"C'mon go take a shower, I'll be here waiting for you" I say and kiss his forehead

"Ok" he pulls away then walks upstairs

In the mean time I make pasta for him since he loves it so much and I'm trying to cheer him up after the night he had

After 30 minutes Kylian is out the shower and the pasta is ready I dish it up for the both of us and add mozzarella cheese just the way he likes it

"What's this?"

"Pasta"

"You made me pasta?"

"With mozzarella cheese"

"Just the way I like it"

"yup"

"Merci Beaucoup Amour"

"De rein"

We eat the pasta in comfortable silence and he takes my hand and interlocks our hands while smiling and I mirror his smile

After eating I wash the dishes and grab the car keys from the key holder

"C'mon let's go"

"Where?"

"Out"

I grab his hand and walk to the door and we leave the house

I get into the driver's seat and and Kylian in the passenger

"Cheri nous va oú" ( where are we going)

"Je veux une glace" ( I want Ice cream)

Kylian connects his phone to the car and starts playing music

Soza Tiakola comes on and we start singing it like our lives depend on it

We arrive at the ice cream parlour and we order our ice creams I get cookies and cream and he gets vanilla with sprinkles

"You're such a baby" I say

"No I'm not" he says as we get back into the car

"Yes you are"

"How?"

"Your ice cream for instance"

"What about it" he asks as his about to take his first spoon of icecream

"Kylian, you got vanilla and sprinkles because the last time you said you like how the sprinkles decorate the white icecream"

"But it's true though"

"Big baby"

"Let's drive" he says

As we continue to drive we are still listening to Tiakola and some other French artists that Kylian and I like listening to

We drive until we pull up to an open field

We exit the car and I go to the boot to grab a blanket then we find our spot to lay down

Kylian and I come here when we have issues and problems that we need to think about and also when we need a break from the busy city

I actually found the place when things got tough one day and I wanted to end it all but I was so drawn to this place that I had to stop my car and see it, Kylian found me here when he saw my car and he held me and cried with me

Then one day after Kylian had found out that his grandfather had past he left the hospital and didn't tell anyone, everyone was looking for him then I thought I should check the place where he found me the last time and I found him there crying on his own , I held him and I cried with him

Then after some time it just became a thing, a place to go when you need to clear your head

It's become like a routine now, if anyone of us have had a bad day we go to the icecream parlour first then drive here and talk about our issues

"Ok mon Amour c'est moi et toi , parle avec moi ( ok my love it me and you, talk to me)

"Je fatigue, je pa pa, C'est Impossible"

"Kylian"

"Everything I do, that the world does not approve of is bad, I can't continue like this, I'm constantly being watched and I feel like I'm walking on egg shells one wrong move and I'm hated by everybody, people talk about how greedy I am, how I think I'm better than anyone but that's who I have to be especially because of the occupation I've decided to choose"

"Kylian, I see you, I as your wife see how hard you work and how much effort and energy you put into your work, no award in this world should be what defines you as a player sure it's nice to get recognized and have the acknowledgements but at the end of the day your awards and prizes don't define you as a player they only represent what you are made of and what you achieved in your life, only a representation Amour, and u know how you wanted to win those awards but you need to understand that they are not everything, ok?"

"Ok"

"Je t'aime"

"Je t'aime aussi"

He kissed my forehead and pulls away slowly, then looms me in my eyes then my lips

"Arrête, just kiss me"

He kisses me with passion and love and I can't help but blush because of the effect he has on me

We separate then lay down on the blanket and watch the stars and talk about random topics like, would you rather be a big or a rat

After some of that I tell Kylian I'll be right back and go to the car, I get the ball out the car and walk to him

"C'mon get up"

"No last time you cheated and said I let it touch the floor when u didn't"

"Don't be a sour loser"

"Fine"

Right now we're playing don't let it touch the ground

Where we pass the ball but it's not allowed to touch the ground, loser has to do as and what the winner tells them for a day

Last time he lost and I made him go around the house shirtless, don't blame me if I wanted to see his abs

We start playing for a little bit and none of us are losing as yet, but that's until Kylian Blasts me by my leg

"Ouch, Kylian"

"Sorry"

"That diet count by the way so out that smile away"

"But that's not fair"

"Kylian you blasted my leg"

"Fine let's call it a tie"

"Ok fine"

"C'mon let's go home now"

I try walk but almost fall, I'm joking obviously I can walk just fine, but doesn't know that

"Ouch" I say

He looks at me and gives me a really look

"I can't walk looks like you're gonna have to carry me"

He sighs and walks over to me the gives me a piggyback

"My hero"

"Yeah yeah whatever"

He picks the ball and the blanket up, dusts it then walks to the car

He put me in the passenger seat then opens the boot to put the ball and the blanket away then he gets into the car and starts driving us back home

When we arrive at the house Kylian still has me o his back and walks upstairs to our room, then he gently places me on the bed

"Oh Kylian, my leg is in so much pain do can you please massage it"

"Fine"

He brings tissue oil and lotion then put a movie on, takes his shirt and pants off, while I take my hoodie and pants off revealing Kylian's shirt that is a dress on me, he claims into bed and starts massaging my leg while watching a movie

30 minutes later

Kylian is asleep with his hands still on my legs

I get out of bed, close the tissue oil and Lotion fix Kylian's side of the comforter, switch off the TV then get into bed myself

I feel Kylian shift closer to me and wrap his arms around my waist and he whispers

"Thank you for cheering me up amour"

"You're welcome"

"I love you"

"I love you too"

Kingohger G Rosso Show #3 Summary (1/2/24 & 1/3/24)

i went to see the g rosso show with @valentinezlove! recap/summary on the whole show + my thoughts below~ ❤️🤍 (warning: spoilers, really long)

SPOILERS AHEAD for basically the whole plot of the g rosso show (though i left some stuff out) i believe this show is going to be livestreamed at some point so pls be aware if you're going to watch that and don't wanna be spoiled!

also, despite seeing this show TWICE i am so bad at remembering things and get distracted way too easily. i left out details and scenes im not confident in my memory abt😭 also this recap is a personal account so its probably jeramie heavy and there Will be giramie ramblings from my annoying ass

THE SHOW

the show starts with kamejim scheming evilly, as kamejim does. he calls forth grodie (!) to do his thing, and he appears as a recording on the big screen. grodie begrudgingly brings some dead sanagims back to life and he's like “ok go crazy/好きにして” and then kamejim orders them to go forth and destroy humanity/the whole planet. the sanagim are about to attack the audience on the front row when suddenly we hear giras WAHAHAHA and the five kings, gira, himeno, yanma, rita and kaguragi descend onto the stage!!

cue really epic fight

at this point i was like ah i see i guess jeramies coming in the middle of the show… but then NUH UH. SUDDENLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES A SPIDER DROPS DOWN FROM THE CEILING ON HIS WEB IN THE AUDIENCE!!

the first time we saw the show on the yan/hime/gira day, our seats were a bit further back so when jeramie came down it was in a perfectly clear view in front of us!!! i SRSLY GOT JUMPSCARED I THOUGHT I HAD A HEART ATTACKK on the 3rd we were sitting really close to the front so i kept looking behind us in anticipation when i knew jeramie was going to make his appearance eheehe..

also when jeramie appeared he said “otto! dont forget about me!” and gira was the first to go “jeramie! you came!” 🥺

anyway they finish beating up the zombie sanagims and kamejims all like fufufufu i am cooking up an evil evil plan to destroy this planet Best Beware u silly kings and then disappears

after the fight the kings convene and discuss what they should do abt kamejim and the new super villain threat that is the galactinsect king and the jesters. but how could they ever beat them? what power is possibly strong enough?? wherever will we find a source of such power?

suddenly kaguragi goes aha! and he begins to recount to everyone an old myth he’s heard about a village back in toufu

apparently theres a 2000 yr old legend that a comet once fell near a village and it left behind an object the village ppl called the "star drop" (星の雫), which looks like a magical orb

the village ppl have kept the star drop for generations and legend has it that the orb has mysterious powers to grant anyone a wish, perhaps we can use it to defeat kamejim

upon hearing the wish part the kings all go WHAT!! and lean in with interest except gira who doesnt react and just kinda stands there (he doesnt seem that interested …?)

the spotlight goes onto yanma and we hear him monologuing abt how he wants to use the wish to make his super computer (i think its hilarious he never gives up on this)

the spotlights goes on himeno and she says she wants a cure all that can cure any wound (🥺)

the spotlights on rita and they wish for a super deluxe limited edition something something moffun

the spotlights on jeramie and he says, in a very dramatic voice, この2000年生きる語り部が知らない伝説なんて、気に入らない、気に入らないぞ！💀 (a myth that I, this 2000 yr old storyteller has never heard of? i don't like that!)

we dont get to see what gira thinks regarding his wish 0_0 and technically jeramie too bc THAT WASNT A WISH KHGDDDH and also kaguragi because obviously we can never look into his mind hes sussy! (more on dat later tho….)

unbeknownst to the kings, kamejim was hiding and listening in to their conversation the whole time. an orb that can grant any wish…? interesting…

cut to the team arriving at the secluded, very hidden away village. its full of old looking tombs and temples overgrown with vines and such

suddenly from the audience a bunch of people come in parading one of those long dragon puppets and doing a festival-like chant. apparently this dragon is a symbol of the village spirit/guardian born from the comet myth. i think???? i cant remember this part really well because Both times i saw the show i was ALWAYS distracted by gira playing with the dragon really cutely in the background (he’d ruffle its hair or pat its head and the actor would hit gira on his head not to touch it and he would bow in apology😭 🙏)

also upon arriving the village jeramie says "in all my 2000 yrs of living, even i never knew about this place" (i love how they bring up his thousands of years wandering as a cryptid and how much he loves chikyuu and knows it so well,,)

they meet the village elder, whom kaguragi greets but instead of welcoming his king the elder yells at all of them to go home, you shouldnt be here and theres no such thing as the star drop here!! leave us be!! the myth that theres a power that grants wishes here is just that, a myth!

and the teams like zamnnn so we went all the way out here for nothing…? yanmas like kaguragi im gonna beat the shit out of u and in the end everyones like Welp i guess we should go home and everyone except jera start to exit the stage. gira is like wait guys are u sure!?! and watches them go off one by one. in the end jeramies like come on now and either drags gira away or on the show i saw on jan 2nd he casually gently pushes gira on the chest (?) WOULD BE BETTER IF I DREW IT TO EXPLAIN BUT IT WAS CUTE😭)

and then jeramie leaves the stage too but then a few seconds later he walks backward and reappears from the curtain and goes な~んてね (just kidding/as if)

he says “honestly, those kings really cant read between the lines huh? this village is obviously hiding something they dont want us to know”

and so jeramie alone walks in the other direction and leaves to the right of the stage

~the middle of the night~

the village elder is sneaking about, two other village men join him, theyre all whispering very discreetly

the elder is like “are they gone yet?”

“sir yessir theyve gone.”

elder says smth like “good! we cant let any of them get their hands on the village treasure that weve guarded for generations''

the elder decides to go to the tomb to ensure the star drop is safe

cut to jeramie sneaking around trying to find where theyre keeping this dang orb. while he’s looking for it he suddenly hears footsteps, turns out its yanma and himeno who ALSO came back to sneakily look for the orb themselves , jeramies like oh crap seems like theyve caught on as well, he goes to hide behind a platform and this part is absolutely ridiculous like whats wronggg w him tbh

like at first when jeramie goes to hide he lies on his side and had his whole one leg up before belatedly putting it down. yanma and himeno are fighting above him and each time they get closer jeramie would flinch dramatically and at some point hes just striking different poses 😭😭😭 also the one i saw on january 3rd when yanma and himeno get way too close to jeramie, yanmas actor accidentally hits jeramie with his sword probably bc he didnt know what improvised pose he’d be in lol…

we cut back to the elder at the tomb, he says some spell in an unknown language and the tomb opens up and reveals the orb (sitting on a pedestal) he goes to take it but doesnt realize that rita was standing there the whole time

the elders like “what are u doing here!!” rita says something abt how they can tell when ppl are guilty of hiding something/lying 👁👁

then suddenly gira waltzes in and is all like “wooow the stars are so pretty…. wait rita? and elder? hi!! man the stars are just so pretty out here i that i got lost wandering around, can u show me the way back? wait a minute whats that youre holding? :0” (note: GIRA WHO LOVES STARGAZING REALLLL)

elders like NONE OF U CAN HAVE IT!! BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN IF THIS FALLS INTO THE WRONG HANDS!

ritas like anyway whatever give me that orb, and lunges at the elder to grab it

at this point himeno and yanma arrive to the scene and himenos like that orb is MINE!! and they all fight over it

rita ends up getting it and IMMEDIATELY they wish for “moffuns warmth” and then moffun actually appears fr on stage 😭😭 while rita is busy going crazy over moffun and hugging it the elder chants another incantation which appears to have reversed the wish and moffun goes away. yanma gets a hold of the orb next but right at that moment jeramie swings by on a cord and snatches it from him!!

jeramie lands on the ground, orb in hand all pleased with himself but then.. someone sneaks up from the shadows behind him and its kaguragi!!! and he has his sword to jeramies neck while hes backed against a wall and jeramie goes otto~ (it was sexy as hell tbh)

so kaguragi has the orb now and hes like “so it seems the myth is true. thank you everyone for confirming this for me”

everyones like kaguragi... could it be…? u were just using us to get the star drop yourself this whole time!!!??

and kaguragis like maa maa dont worry abt it (FORGETTING A LOT OF DETAILS HERE but something abt how if a village in his country has been keeping an object so powerful it only makes sense it should be in his hands or something , maybe?)

but anyway no one wins this round because THEN suddenly kamejim appears and takes the hot potato orb from kaguragi

and hes like ufufufu and then uses the star drop to make his super evil plan to destroy the planet come true, and when he says his wish suddenly the orb starts going crazy with an immense dark force , its glowing purple and its all crackly like a thunderstorm is inside it, the ground shakes and everything around them starts falling apart

the elders like nooooo and tries to take the orb back but kamejim flings him away and the elder is knocked unconscious

in the end, gira manages to get a hold of the star drop but he struggles to keep it still in his hands bc of the wild dark energy, gira tries to repeat the incantation he heard the elder say earlier but it isnt working, then gira is like “i have no other choice!” and it looks like gira holds the orb close to his chest and the stage goes dark as he screams and then a few moments later he reemerges as…… ~Dark Gira~

Gira is silent for a moment but then he growls in a rlly low voice “i am the tyrant king… and i will destroy this planet!” and starts blindly attacking everyone

evil gira doesnt do the classic evil laugh at all… hes eerily silent and mostly growls and groans a lot. he moves creepily like hes possessed, sometimes he crouches rlly low as if hes on all fours like a wild beast, he pounces on kaguragi and pins him to the ground like a predator 😱 (it was scarYyyy). his evil voice is also super super deep (huge win for the actual!evil tyrant gira enthusiasts…)

everyones like gira whats wrong with you!! gira snap out of it!! dont you recognize us?!?! but it seems gira has completely taken in the dark energy of the orb into himself

giras so powerful in this state that he defeats all the other kings. jeramie was the last to try and fight gira and smth ppl pointed out that Indeed i noticed was true on my rewatch is that evil gira mercilessly went for jeramies bugnarak arm 😭(AAAA)

in the end everyone can only lay defeated on the ground. jeramies dramatic ass says “ah, is this how the story ends? what a tragedy..”

the curtain slowly closes on evil gira standing alone center stage as he once again yells “i will destroy this world…!”

later, kaguragi, yanma, and rita gather together to reassess their plan. himeno joins in late, she just got done treating the elders wounds. he should be fine, and jeramie is looking after him now.

(note: i was internally screaming at this. ever since ep 42 when himeno was taking a look at injured racles and went “jeramie” and jeramie immediately knew to Web up his wounds i was like oh… theyve done this before. himeno and jeramie have been spending time tgt treating ppl/himeno has been teaching jeramie things and vice versa OOUGH MY BELOVED HIMENO AND JERAMIE FRIENDSHIP. JERAMIE NURSE IN TRAINING REAL) (also fuel for my 1677282 different headcanons regarding jeramie and how he deals with his own injuries... himeno getting mad at this 2000 yr old spider w 2000 yr old habits and teaching him how to take care of himself..)

rita is like no wonder the village ppl guarded the star drop so fiercely…

its a great, dangerous power that no one person should wield..

ah… so the myth is actually a burden/responsibility kaguragi let his ppl carry for 2000 yrs…. kaguragi wanted to help his own ppl, not selfishly use the wish for himself..

yanma deduces that the orb takes on the intense feelings of whoever makes a wish, and to cancel out the dark energy in gira right now, they need a feeling thats more powerful than That

but what?? from where and how??

then suddenly, evil gira reappears, still possessed by the dark energy

himenos like i know!! surely his feelings for us kings/our memories together as his friends are stronger!!

(the kings look at the audience)

OF COURSE!! we’ll use the power of everyones emotions here!! everyone, lend us your help, at the count of three, everybody shout gira’s name!!

whenever the audience shouted giraaaa, he gets hit with a sparkly effect, its working!! yanma goes hypeman cheerleader mode and is like CMON IS THAT ALL YOUVE GOT!! SAY IT LOUDERR

and we shout gira a couple times and finally we shout the incantation (it was rlly cute and sweet sobs)

a transition, gira is back to normal. the orb is also back in one piece

jeramie conveniently comes in after the whole thing all “ah, is gira back to normal already?” 💀💀 tuxedo man meme ass…

anyway now that they have the star drop again hot potato is BACK on and they fight kamejim for it one final time.

gira chases after kamejim and theres a funny bit during the chase where kamejim goes into the audience and gives the orb to one of the audience members and hes like “that persons holding it” and giras like oh sorry excuse me! could u please give me that orb? KHAHSHSJSN

then FINALLY once they got the orb back, they manage to actually destroy it for real so that smth like this never happens again. and thus the kings save the village from ruin! the elder is thankful to kaguragi and the others for saving them but ah… now this village no longer has a legend of its own. but then jeramie says “but we have rewritten it by creating a new legend! the story of the six heroes who saved this village!” our 思い (feelings) will be a new legend~

jeramie has this long winded ass curtain closing speech, going on abt probably the power of friendship and 思い and stories that we have to 心に刻まないとね♡ (carve it into our hearts) . i didnt see it on the show i saw but yes, this is where the infamous giramie hug happened :') the one i saw on the 2nd, jeramie said this while putting his hand on giras shoulder and leaning into him, on the 3rd he put a hand to his heart and looked into giras eyes…or visor. he titled his head all cutely and shit too ARGGGHH

and of course jeramie finishes the entire show by going …とさっ♡ (or so the story goes) and since gira and jeramie are standing next to each other center stage the curtain frames the both of them right before the show ends... aaa...

END!

G ROSSO WAS SO GOOD AND FUN AND CUTE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! if you can, def tune into the livestream theyre doing at some point which is gonna feature the non suit actors in the show!!!

thanks again @valentinezlove for going to see both days w me~ because these days had the special stage greeting from the actors (and thats a WHOLE NOTHER THING IVE MADE SEPARATE POSTS ABOUT), there was no after show handshake with the suit actors but i still got to shake kuwagata-ohgers hand walking into the venue ;7; i will never emotionally recover...

(also i pulled jeramies trading card twice thank you shugods for looking out for me ahsjkd!!!)

#ohsama sentai kingohger #kingohger #king ohger #giramie #sorry there is a bit of giramie ramblings in there JHDFJS #jeramie brasieri #gira husty #himeno ran #rita kaniska #kaguragi dybowski #yanma gast

Im jumping in with the bingo card for season 4, im pretty sure most of them happened in all 3 seasons, so the pattern might continue

Explanation under the cut, if anyone needs them

FIRST ROW

-Jimmy dies first: as per usual

-pet murder: was there in 3rd life, was there in Last Life, was there in Double life. Honestly inescapable. I don't count wolves lost in battle unless they have a specific name

-unlikely team up comes with a steal chair: either an alliance with two or more players who never interact with each other in previous editions or a team up of two or more players who are antagonize each other for most of the time who turns out to be a perfect fit for each other

-Tango Rage Moment: it will happened at some point.

-Scar steals the enchanter: He needs to have it, and if there's an option to do so, he will.

SECOND ROW

-Terry comes back: self-explanatory

-dramatic betrayal: there's so many betrayals in every edition

-Joel tries to kill a lot: Originally Joel Kills a lot, he own the title of Most Kills of the season twice in a row now. That's everything he has, killing. He will try and i hope he succeed

-absent member(s) comes back: Skizz, Lizzie and or Mumbo, who are all not in Double Life makes a come back for nee season

-arson backfires: someone tries to burn stuff, it turns against them

THIRD ROW

-previous alliance is referenced: Desert Duo, Flower Husband, Dogwarts, The Gs, Southlands, Magical Mountain ect ect. In any way. The soulbounds in any way excluding "divorces"

-secret alliance is formed: Impulse and Crastle Duo, The Shadow Alliance, The Secret Soulmate. It's a pattern

-free space: bloodshed and tumblr going bonkers

-trap fails: doesn't work, does work but doesn't kill

-Tango dies in a stupid way: His cursed like that. Happened trice.

FOURTH ROW

-an episode is lost due to technical difficulties: anything from corrupted footage to missing audio, basically when someones episode doesn't get published even if they were in the session, due to anything else then not posting it

-accidental foreshadowing of a great tragedy: a thing that happened in previous session, predicts a disaster from the future, due to coincidence cuz the series is not scripted

-Grian kills the one closest to him: Scar in 3rd life, Mumbo in Last Life, BigB and Scar in Double Life. He is cursed like that.

-someone missed a session: just that

-wood base burns to the ground (again): they will not learn, there will be a wood base.

FIFTH ROW

-Martyn does lore: any kind of straight up story telling

-someone is left alone for the whole season: Joel in 3rd life. Scar in Last Life. Pearl in Double Life. There's always some loner out there

-there's only 7 sessions: listen. The previous seasons had 8, 9 and 6 sessions. We need 7 for consistence sake

-wolves army make a return: JOEL GRAIN AND PEARL HAD A WOLF ARMY IN A SEASON A PATTERN PEOPLE

-someone lose a life in session 1: there's always someone who dies instantly so i bet there will be someone like this too

RONAN and ADAM and... ETHEL CAIN

(trust me its gonna be so good)

My thoughts on “crush” by Ethel Cain and The Raven Cycle (because my niche right now is rereading the raven cycle for the first time in 4 years and I just happened to see Ethel live and I cannot stop connecting them)

As a prelude to my lyric/quote breakdown… Ethel Cain is a trans woman who writes hauntingly beautiful music.. She is religious and from the south, which is a HUGE part of why it is so undeniably apparent to me that she can be connected to specifically RONAN (gay catholic from the south with his barn house). Her music is so amazing and she is an awesome story teller so I hope you give her a listen.

Her most popular song CRUSH is so goddam Ronan and Adam I had to write this because I needed to put it somewhere.

“His window's already passed, so he's shooting at the glass

Keeping guns in his locker, and he denies it

Like it's actually important, but he lied 'cause I sure did watch him

Showing up wearing black, and he knows that”

His daddy's on death row, but he'll say it with his chest, though”

This is just very Ronan angst i don't feel like i need to explain..

“His friends move dope, he hasn't tried coke

But he's always had a problem saying no”

OKKK soooooo lets get into the the dream thieves helloooo

Yes Kavinsky and Ronan’s relationship is very hard to define but whatever it is he takes up a lot of his time in dream thieves.. And he loves coke (or whatever the hell he dreamt up)… and Ronan is VERY BAD at saying no when it comes to any sort of challenge from Kavinsky.

OK NOW LETS GET INTO THE GOOD STUFF

“Can you read my mind? I've been watching you.”

“As they moved through the old barn, Adam felt Ronan’s eyes glance off him and away, his disinterest practiced but incomplete. Adam wondered if anyone else noticed.”

“Adam finally sat down on one of the pews. Laying his cheek against the smooth back of it, he looked at Ronan. Strangely enough, Ronan belonged here, too, just as he had at the Barns. This noisy, lush religion had created him just as much as his father's world of dreams; it seemed impossible for all of Ronan to exist in one person. Adam was beginning to realize that he hadn't known Ronan at all. Or rather, he had known part of him and assumed it was all of him.

The scent of Cabeswater, all trees after rain, drifted past Adam, and he realized that while he'd been looking at Ronan, Ronan had been looking at him.”

“When he opened his eyes, he saw that Ronan was looking at him, as he had been looking at him for months. Adam looked back, as he had been looking back for months.”

“Couldn't fight to save your life, but you look so cool”

“I’ve watched the evening news, Adam,” Gansey snapped. “Why don’t you let Ronan teach you to fight? He’s offered twice now. He means it.” With great care, Adam folded the greasy rag and draped it back over a toolbox. There was a lot of stuff in the carport. New tool racks and

calendars of topless women and heavy-duty air compressors and other things Mr. Parrish had decided were more valuable than Adam’s school

uniform. “Because then he will kill me.”

“Good men die too, oh, I'd rather be with you, you, you”

“See, Adam Parrish is wantable, worthy of a crush, not just by anyone, someone like Ronan, who could want Gansey or anyone else and chose Adam for his hungry eyes.”

HELLOOOOOOOOo are u kidding….

1st Gansey is the definition of a “good man”

2nd Adam is OBSESSED WITH THIS the whole damn series and is constantly attempting to model himself/who he wishes he was after gansey

3rd to tie it all together… the whole series its like oh yea gansey is about to die (along with everyone else if we are being real)

“I owe you a black eye and two kisses

Tell me when you wanna come and get 'em”

PLEASEEEEEE like this is MY WAY of describing the ANGST and SLOWWWWWburn of their relationship. When I hear her sing this I cannot help but giggle and kick my feet because of how amazingly it fits.

“I only want him if he says it first to me”

"It was Adam’s ribs under Ronan’s hands and Adam’s mouth on his mouth, again and again and again. It was stubble on his lips and Ronan having to stop, to get his breath, to restart his heart. They were both hungry animals, but Adam had been starving for far longer.”

We all know the Ronan longing and it being a HUGE secret that he likes Adam... and Adam like knows and its like lol embarrassing (as if he isn't down bad as well)

ADAM is like oblivious to the legitimacy of his feelings until ronan gives him a little kissssss and then it's like he is all like “what is love”

“He looks like he works with his hands, and smells like Marlboro Reds”

HELLOOOOOo this is so adam are u kidding

“Ronan crossed his arms to wait, just looking. At Adam's fine cheekbones, his furrowed fair eyebrows, his beautiful hands, everything washed out by the light. He had memorized the shape of Adam’s hands in particular: the way his thumbs jutted awkwardly, boyishly; the roads of prominent veins; the large knuckles that protruded from his long fingers. In dreams Ronan put them to his mouth.”

“Adam twisted off the lid. Inside was a colorless lotion that smelled of mist and moss. Replacing the lid with a frown, he turned the container over, looking for more identifying features. On the bottom, Ronan's handwriting labeled it merely: manibus. For your hands.”

“Something's been feeling weird lately

There's just something about you, baby (there's just something about you, baby)

Maybe I'll just be crazy (I'll be crazy)

And piss him off 'til he hates me

Yeah right, he fucking loves me”

…… do i even need to say anything??

Note

I have a bunch more ramblings, (and if I ever turn the cai as a whole into a whole fic I’ll be sure to tag you!) but the lowdown of it is basically:

If you ask me, I think the ending of episode 6 was…pretty sad, actually. We don’t see the aftermath of how Flug handles the heartbreak, but the assistant would get a front row seat. He still reflects fondly on their past memories before everything went downhill, and the poor assistant is still trying to pick up his slack bc he’s so fucking scattered and messy now- all while still being very much in love with him. They’re like her polar opposite though, and just figure they’re not his type. They will nod along and listen to him rant (if they hear how silky smooth her hair is when their own is a mess, or how she just lit up a room when they’re far more reserved ONE MORE TIME-)

But they still try to help him out where they can, often working double time so BH doesn’t get pissed, until some 3rd party clues him in (either 505 or Dem) that hey; they’re gonna run themselves into the ground for you. Sorry about your ex and all, but just thought you should know you’re supposed to be a team damn it.

Somebody cares about him! Holy shit!!! How did he not see it? They even picked him up from the prison visit to get takeout and watch the new top gun together knowing damn well he’d talk through the whole thing. They didn’t do that out of pity or obligation, they did it out of love! All the little gestures are coming back to him. “I memorized your coffee order” here, “I taped that show you like so you don’t have to miss it” there-

And over time he starts to open his heart again and move on 😭 good ending! But yeah I thought the idea of healing being nonlinear was an interesting motif to explore, especially when the assistant sees it in real time everyday at work. They’re not helping him out in hopes that they can be next in line to date him, they’re doing it selflessly because romantic or not, they still care about him! And maybe that day comes when he realizes he feels the same, and seeks them out first ❤️‍🩹

GRRRR GRRRR *RIPS THIS APART WITH MY TEETH VIOLENTLY* THATS THE GOOD STUFF

Nickel Bin #1:

I'd Be Talking All the Time by Ringo Starr

We're starting all kinds of new nonsense this week here in the Dollar Bin. My famous brother publishes five days a week on Doom and Gloom From the Tomb. He's out of control. He's also concise, a word I clearly don't have much of a relationship with.

But there are certain moments going forward when I will declare that it's time for me, and you, to dive in and consider a single song, rather than an entire album. In such moments, we'll be reveling in the Nickel Bin rather than the Dollar Bin: you'll have less reading to do and therefore more time to spend on push ups and protest.

Sounds pretty sweet to me, but if you're unimpressed, please direct all complaints to Stephen Stills; most of the bad things in life are his fault, yes?

This inaugural edition of the Nickel Bin is a follow up to my recent post on Ringo Starr. I sought out his Nashville record after surviving Goodnight Vienna and I'm here to tell you people that Beaucoups of Blues is Ringo's masterpiece. The whole of Side A contains all the best things in life when it comes to Nashville and Ringo: throwaway lyrics, humble musicianship, even humbler song lengths, slick baton passing between the fiddler and Ben Keith's impeccable steel guitar, and Ringo's ridiculous - but also quite earnest - vocals.

The whole thing is a ton of fun; just look at the crew behind it all. Looks like a boy's school's marching band's 20th high school reunion when only one guy is still handsome (Ben Keith, first row flush right) and only one guy became rich and famous (Ringo, obviously).

Because I've never created a rule I didn't immediately break on this blog I'll play you two songs today. The first is the most inappropriately joyful and upbeat song about prostitution I've ever heard. Only Starr could make sex work sound like a wholesome, back slapping good time.

youtube

This will be a great campfire song for the new summer camp I've got in development. Campers will come together at the end of each evening for swaying, smiling sing-a-longs: Reed's Heroin, Young's Borrowed Tune, and Cohen's Chelsea Hotel will feature prominently in the songbook and at the end of each evening the counselors will lead a stirring, sweet dreams version of Waits' What's He Building in There? We'll call it Trauma Camp; sign your kids up!

Anyway, what I really wanted you all to hear this evening is the last song on Side 1, I'd Be Taking All the Time. The song is fine, but it's the last 20 seconds that are worth your time all the time. Just listen to Ringo refer to himself in the 3rd person! I say that only Jonathan Richman, Rafi and Ringo can get away with such audacity.

youtube

And be sure to hang out for Ringo's last note: I dare you to listen to Ringo's voice crack without smiling. He sounds like he's the newest member of Jerry Jeff Walker's Lost Gonzo Band and is heading down to Marble Arch Station, or like he's jumping off Bob Pollard's roof.

I don't know why Ringo looks so bummed on his album cover when he's so good at making us laugh.

Cheers, Everyone.

Portishead - Dummy

Trip hop is one of those genres where there are like three artists in the whole scene and all of them are legendary. That was kind of an early 90s mood honestly what with grunge being the same. Portishead's sound may be indistinguishable from their contemporaries for a lot of listeners but where Massive Attack and Tricky are coming from a hip hop sound Portishead has more in common with dub and jungle. They have slowed down the breakbeat to the point that its more implied than extant. Dummy develops a spacey, smokey atmosphere thats a little more tripped out and mellow than any other trip hop artist.

Prince - 1999

Yes! YES! In a sane world this would easily be Prince's best album. It's only by the grace of some flamboyant fag god that it isn't. 1999 is filled with huge funky beats and extremely corny synth lines. All the while Prince sing about what Prince knows best: sex. A third the album is made up of seven plus minute funk jams. Three in a row in fact. You'd think that going from the seven minute Let's Pretend We're Married to the eight minute D.S.M.R. to the nine minute Automatic would be tiring, but there is nothing tiring about 1999. This album which ranks 2nd or 3rd in Prince's discography for me would easily best most other artists best work by a mile.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Roger Waters clearly decided at the height of Pink Floyd's popularity that, instead of going to therapy, he should just get all his problems out in the form of a sprawling concept album. The Wall is lyrically and thematically dense and careful in its use of musical motifs. The four note riff that accompanies main character Pink at every turn becomes a musical symbol of his downfall. And lyrically Waters is working through so many things. His feeling toward his dad, war, stardom, and his fans. His hatred for Thatcherism and the boarding school syatem. Disillusionment and the desire to escape. It may be a lengthy album, but it still packs a lot into that time. The Wall weaves a rich tapestry, its a lot to take in, but there are enough catchy songs to make the first listen as enjoyable as hundredth.

Queen - A Night At The Opera

It seems like a crime to separate A Night At The Opera from its sister album A Day At The Races, but this is the only one that critics liked. A Night At The Opera is a deliciously eccentric album. Its content to jump back and forth between ripping hard rock solos, jaunty little ukelele tunes, prog rock epics, and other miscellania. The whole thing really earns the right to be named after a Marx Brothers film with all the camp and it does feel as dramatic as an opera at times. Nearly every song feels like it could be the centerpiece to a different album. Most people probably consider meme legend Bohemian Rhapsody to be the album's centerpiece, but for me it has to be The Prophet's Song because not a lot of songs can pull off the transition from prog rock number to acapella fugue and back with such ease and style. Everything is so tight and ao technically proficient. The whole album is a well oiled machine that just produces serotonin.

Ray Charles - Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music

In an era when soul, gospel, and R&B were still called 'race music' it was an incredibly bold move to release this record. Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music consists of lush soul covers of contemporary country ballads. Not only was this the most popular album of Ray Charles' career it also revitalized interest in country music. Where the nashville sound is lush he went lusher with more strings and backup vocalists. Where country musicians croon he croons like he was trying out for the rat pack. He takes everything that country music does well and then does it better as a soul songs. This man outdid an entire genre of music! This album has the biggest dick energy in musical history probably.

Mary J. Blige - My Life

Mary J. Blige is back and her second album brings more of the R&B with hip hop beats rhat we saw on her first album. Although there is more neo soul style crooning and less funkiness which makes My Life a little less interesting than her debut. Its still a pretty great album though if you liked Whats The 411? then you'll probably like My Life.

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

This is the most nonsensical, unfocused, chaotic, and stupid album in the entire Beastie Boys catalogue. It is one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. The rowdy childlike goofiness is so fucking infectious. I dont know how they get away with singing an entire song about eggs and then asking me to take anything seriously ever again. I love it. The beats are next level though. Look up a list of the samples used on Paul's Boutique and you'll be floored by the sheer number. The Sounds Of Science samples five different Beatles songs and then also samples Isaac Hayes, James Brown, Pato Bantin, and Boogie Down Productions. It feels like they chose half their samples strategically to make brilliant beats and then a few goofball choices like the theme from Magilla Gorilla or Folsom Prison Blues. The incredibly vortuosic production combined with the childlike off the cuff sound is really amazing. They worked so hard to make it sound like they weren't even trying.

Inochi no Tabekata ch 1-3 Translation

Chapter 1-3 天地が回る Heaven and Earth turn Otogiri-Tobi

Tobi's seat was the third from the front by the window, and in the seat diagonally to the right, one seat in front of him, was a female student named Kon Chiami. She was in the row in front and seemed to be listening intently to the teacher and taking notes.

He doesn't know much about Kon. Just that she's sincere. She doesn't give the impression of being a loner. She was always with several people.

With some bat-like or flying squirrel-like creature clinging to her back.

"...Well, we've already noticed that, too," Baku, who was forcibly tied to the desk, said. It was a whisper for the time being, as if he's paying attention to his backpack.

"However, it's quite different from O-Ryuu’s Chinu, it's just sticking to the human. It's not like they're doing anything to us. It's just that ordinary people can't see it. Okay..."

It's just as Baku says.

And even though there weren’t strangers like that everywhere, it was not so uncommon that they were rare. They were in schools, in towns, and even in his facility.

Thanks to that, he wouldn't be surprised if there were people who didn’t know. If it's a really big one or it's all over the place, he might be stunned, but otherwise he would just think there's no such thing.

He was still not surprised.

He was curious.

Tobi didn't move his face too much and turned his gaze diagonally behind.

Although the boy wasn't talking to the boy sitting next to him, he was interacting with them with gestures.

Masaki Shuuji.

If he remembers correctly, he is called Masamune. He guessed it was a nickname that took one character each from the last name and the first name.

Masamune had a loud voice. He moved too much. He’d often tell jokes and make people laugh. One time, he was doing something like a comedy with someone in front of the blackboard, and the whole classroom was getting excited. Tobi can still remember it. He stood out quite a bit in class.

Masamune had his short hair neatly set. It seems that the eyebrows are also trimmed, and he seems to be picky about his appearance.

A small monkey-like creature sits on top of his head.

In terms of body size, they are a bit similar to the small nocturnal primates known as tarsiers, but of course they are different.

The body surface of a tarsier is covered with hair. But this was different. It doesn't even look like human skin. Is it close to reptile scales? Or bark. It resembles the epidermis of Japanese cedar, which is split vertically into thin strips.

Like a monkey, it has forelimbs and hindlimbs. Is it just a coincidence that both of its forelimbs are covering its mouth? Does it do that all the time? Anyway, it's a pose reminiscent of the three wise monkeys of Nikko Toshogu, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

Tobi was aware of Kon Chiami and Masaki Shuuji aka Masamune, who were the ones with the strange creature in the 3rd grade of the 2nd year, though there were more than two people.

That was the ratio. Until now, there were usually one or two students per class, which was average.

However, what if Ryuuko Shiratama joined the number?

In addition, as Shiratama told him earlier on the outside stairs, it seems that there was another person as well.

Tobi looked at the last seat in the middle row. No one was sitting in that seat.

It wasn’t just today. That was usual. Tobi never saw anyone sitting in that seat.

According to Shiratama, the seat at the back in the middle seems to be a seat for a girl named Shizukudani.

Shizukudani stopped attending school midway through the year. After that, she seemed to go to school in the infirmary? Shizukudani didn't seem to show up in the classroom even after she advanced to the second year.

Shiratama was in the same class as Shizukudani during her first year. So she knew her.

And according to Shiratama, Shizukudani also had a strange one with her.

"Four people?" Baku said quietly.

When Tobi looked, Shiratama, who was sitting in the third seat from the front on the corridor side, was facing him. The teacher was writing on the board and the classroom was quiet. Shiratama must have heard Baku's voice.

"That's a lot, isn't it? I mean, if we include you, it's going to be five people. In this class, there's a total of thirty-six people. Five out of thirty-six people. Approximately one-seventh.”

Tobi thought of kicking Baku. Don't talk so much just because no one can hear you. It's not like no one can hear me. Shiratama could hear him. Really.

Until now, Baku had spoken during class. No matter what they said, Tobi has no choice but to ignore it, of course. Including that, it's kind of a silly game. For Baku, it was a small prank, and it must have been a little way to pass the time.

It was not just Tobi. Shiratama had also heard Baku's nonsense. She had heard it all.

Shiratama waved her hand slightly, as if saying, "that's what it is."

Tobi almost waved back inadvertently. That was dangerous. He managed to dissuade himself at the last minute.

Tobi turned forward and rested his head on his chin. Almost waved his hand. Embarrassing. He almost waved. He was really glad he didn't wave back.

---

When the homeroom class was over, Tobi picked up Baku and quickly lowered the chair and desk. When he tried to leave the classroom quickly as usual, he was stopped by Shiratama.

"Ah, Otogiri-kun."

"……What?"

"I still have a lot to talk about. What are your plans after this?"

"Not anything in particular... but..."

"Well then, I'm sorry, but could you wait somewhere for a while? I'm on cleaning duty."

"...Then, I’ll be at the front door"

"Okay. I'll finish as soon as possible."

His classmates were giving them some strange glances. Among them were Kon Chiami and Masaki Shuuji.

Shiratama and Tobi were just talking normally. Was it so strange?

It's strange.

Tobi himself feels strange, or rather, doesn't feel right. Actually, on the contrary, he was quite uncomfortable. Very awkward. Not very, but he couldn't stand it.

"……Afterwards"

Tobi gave up briefly and left the classroom as if to run away.

He walked as fast as he could, cut through the corridor, and descended the stairs with great momentum, and quickly changed his shoes at the shoe box. When he went out from the entrance, Haizaki, the janitor, was watering the flower bed in the front garden with a green watering can.

"Hey, Otogiri-kun. You're always so quick. Goodbye...?"

"I'm not going home yet," he instinctively spoke back in a strong tone.

Haizaki was stunned. "What? Is that so?"

"...Uh, it doesn't matter"

"Oh, yeah. I'm not going to pry. Sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. You—" Tobi clicked his tongue and hit his forehead with his palm. No matter what, people didn't like the way he said ‘you (1).’

"...Haizaki-san didn't do anything wrong."

"Sorry," Haizaki's face distorted as if in apology.

"I did it again. I've been warned by my senpai before. ‘Don't apologize so quickly.’ I guess it's a habit. I was scolded a lot. I was scared. She was a nice person."

"...He’s a chatty bastard."

Baku said softly. Tobi feels exactly the same. What's more, he speaks in a soft voice that doesn't feel intrusive, and speaks like water on the board, so he can't help but listen. He didn't know. Like Haizaki's seniors. Haizaki is a janitor. Because he’s talking about a senpai, does that mean the previous janitor? He didn't really care.

"Oh ──"

Haizaki hurriedly picked up the watering can. While he was engrossed in talking, he was sprinkling water on a place that wasn't a flower bed.

"What are you doing..."

"I'm sorry, sorry. Wow. I apologized again. Just now, but I think it's okay to apologize. No, it's not enough to apologize. The asphalt is just a little wet. It'll dry quickly. Huh, Otogiri-kun. Are you not going home? Ah, you said, you haven't gone home yet. Why? Ah, I may have intervened, so you don't have to answer. I just asked out of the blue. I'm sorry. Ah. Apologies again. Damn. If things go like this, my senpai will be shocked.”

"Is this a comedy?"

Baku sneered at him. Even Tobi seemed to be watching with cold eyes without realizing it. Haizaki rubbed the side of his neck in embarrassment.

"Too much talk is also an old habit. No, it's something that can't be fixed. I'm trying to be careful, but I forget to be careful."

"Isn't it just plain dumb?"

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to hear anything anyway, Baku unhesitatingly yelled at him.

"Haha... hey"

Haizaki was restless. He had a towel wrapped around his neck. Haizaki wiped his face with it. It was as if he was trying to hide.

Something's wrong. Tobi felt that way, but didn't know what was wrong. In any case, Haizaki should be working.

"...It’s fine, why don't you work?"

"Sorry!"

Haizaki nodded strongly and resumed watering.

“When you think of autumn, you think of chrysanthemums, but cosmos are also good. There are also roses that bloom in autumn. "

Could it be that Tobi couldn't just leave quickly? Haizaki seems to be an overly talkative person. But if someone is by your side, you can't help but talk to them.

"... I'm not interested. I don't know much."

"I see. That's right. When I was younger, I didn't care either. Until I changed jobs, I guess. All I thought about was that flowers were blooming. But I started planting and taking care of them myself. I wondered how many more times I would be able to see the cherry blossoms.”

"You aren’t that old yet...?"

"Compared to you guys, I'm a very old man. I never thought I'd become an old man who loves flowers. But when I think about it, I wonder if getting old isn't such a bad thing. It's just that I'm still getting old."

Haizaki said "goodbye" with a smile every time a student passed by on his way home from school. Not only that. One by one, he called out the names of the students, such as Takada-san, Ueyama-san, and so on. He seemed to remember them. Tobi didn't even know the names of his classmates.

"... Flowers, elegance, all of that. I don't really understand what you're saying."

"I also didn’t understand it at all. That's how it was. Surprisingly. Ah. Before I know it, the watering is empty. I thought I was still watering, but I didn't do anything?"

Haizaki said "Achaa" and looked up at the sky, then lightly raised one hand.

"It's not cool. It's not locked. I'm going to fill it up with water. I have a lot of other work to do. See you, Otogiri-kun. Goodbye. I apologized..."

He felt like he could understand some of the feelings of that senpai who often scolded Haizaki.

Tori let out a sigh as he saw Haizaki's back heading towards the school building.

"... What is that person?"

"He's a strange bastard. But isn't it rare? Tobi talking to people like that. Huh? Are you talking to O-Ryuu? Recently, you’ve been talking a lot with people other than me. Hey, Tobi."

Tobi took off the strap from his shoulder and spun around.

"Oh, come on! Hey, come on! My eyes are spinning! Stop it, you idiot...!"

Where could he even find the backpack’s spinning eyes? Does Baku have eyes? It seemed like he looked at things. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, does it?

"The worst thing is Baku..." Tobi whispered and put Baku back on his back.

"I'm no match for you rolling and spinning me around in a place like this."

"Would you like to spin more?"

"Seriously stop it."

"That's free?"

"That's why it's wrong! Don't spin me. Don't spin me. Absolutely, don't spin me. I won't let you spin me. Never spin me!"

After a while, Shiratama came out of the entrance of the school building. She soon finds Tobi and comes over trotting. Apart from the school bag, Shiratama had the same pochette that hid the Chinuraasha on her shoulder.

"Sorry I made you wait"

"... Well, it wasn't that long."

"I was cleaning, I did my best. I got a little sweaty."

Shiratama is usually quite white. Come to think of it, her cheeks are somewhat puffy. her forehead seems slightly sweaty.

Thinking that he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, Tobi turned to the side.

"... Um, do you want to go? Though we're talking about where we're going..."

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a destination?"

"Better than nothing."

"No……"

"Do you want to go, if there is somewhere?"

"What about you?"

"I'm not..."

"He’s boring." Baku laughs. Tobi tried to hit Baku with an elbow, but stopped. There were many students around who were leaving school. Tobi forgot about it for a moment. What was he doing?

"That's it."

Shiratama's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, I want to go do something."

"I really don't know what to do."

Tobi couldn't look directly at Shiratama's face. He just looked at her from the front. Even though it shouldn't be impossible, for some reason he ended up tilting his face and pouring his gaze diagonally. Doesn't it make her feel bad when you look at her this way? But Shiratama doesn't seem to mind.

"I want to go to a convenience store. Is that okay?"

They avoided stores near the school. The school rules prohibited eating out and buying things. Even if it's not a rule that everyone at school follows, if someone finds out and tells, the teacher will call them out and warn them. Tobi would be fine, but Shiratama probably wouldn’t be.

If that's the case, why did Shiratama say she wanted to go to the convenience store?

Just before they entered the convenience store he found after walking twelve or three minutes from school, that question came to his mind.

Tobi opened the door and was about to step into the convenience store.

Turning around, Shiratama seemed hesitant to even step on the mat in front of the door. Her chin was slightly pulled and her shoulders were tense.

"...Can't you come in?"

Tobi usually imposed a convenience store ban on himself. It was just to avoid wasting money. If there was something he really needed, whether it was on the way home from school or whatever, he’d just pop in and buy it. He didn't hesitate. Taka was the convenience store.

For Shiratama, was the convenience store more than just a convenience store?

"... is... I'm here... right?"

Her slurred speech was suspicious and her eyes were watery. Shiratama was clearly nervous.

Tobi closed the door.

"It's forbidden to buy and eat out. It's a school rule. If you're worried about it, why don't you stop?"

"No."

Shiratama glared at Tobi, saying that in a very clear manner. Strictly speaking, she might not be glaring at him, but her eyes were amazing. Or rather, seriousness itself. Tobi was a little scared. He didn't think his life was at stake. Too serious.

"Well then……"

Tobi opened the door again and entered the convenience store. Shiratama also came along, but her movements were awkward. It was hard to look at. Her expression was also stiff. Too dangerous.

"……Are you okay?"

" I’m okay."

She doesn't speak very much, and her appearance was blatantly strange. The female clerk was also skeptical.

"Your behavior is that of a person trying to shoplift for the first time..."

When Baku said that, Shiratama shook her head.

"No way! I would never shoplift."

"... Shiratama-san."

Tobi scolded her modestly. Shiratama let out a strange sound like "huff" and looked at the clerk at the register.

The clerk was looking sideways at Shiratama. She cleared her throat. Shiratama was being completely stared at. No wonder. Tobi’s shoulders and body narrowed.

"Are you going to buy something?"

"...A drink"

It sounded like a mosquito buzz. Shiratama was very upset.

Tobi reached out his hand toward Shiratama and hurriedly withdrew.

What was Tobi trying to do now? Perhaps he was trying to lead Shiratama to the shelf where cans and bottled beverages were lined up.

He didn't have to go that far. It was obvious. Shiratama was not a toddler.

He chose a drink from the shelf with the glass door. Shiratama picked up a grape-flavored carbonated drink without hesitation, and Tobi chose the cheapest barley tea. It was a waste of money, but he read the room in a hurry. There was also a slight feeling that he didn't want Shiratama to think he was stingy.

After finishing paying and leaving the store, Shiratama hugged the plastic bottle of soda and closed her eyes tightly.

"...I bought it. Grape flavor."

"Huh? Is that something... a rare product? Is that juice...?"

"I buy it occasionally. Secretly, very occasionally. I don't know much about it, but I think it's a best-seller. They’ve been selling it for a long time."

"Ah. That so."

“Even going into a convenience store is kind of heart-pounding. If my grandfather or grandmother finds out, they will definitely scold me.”

...They're strict. Your grandpa and grandma."

“For my sake, they are strict.”

Shiratama was smiling. But she kept her eyes down. Even though she was smiling, she had a shadowy expression.

Not ‘my parents,’ but ‘my grandfather and grandmother’. There must be something wrong.

It's not that he doesn't care, but he doesn't really want to know. He found it difficult to talk about himself to others. Tobi didn't want to be asked every time.

"Where do you want to drink? If it's here, this is it."

Shiratama firmly caught Tobi’s gaze and nodded.

"I know."

---

After going up the slope with stone walls on one side, there were stone steps on the left. The stone steps lead to a vacant lot. Gravel was spread out, and three iron bars with different heights were installed. There was only really an iron bar. That's why it was called ‘Iron Bar Park.’

Tobi sat down on the highest bar in the bar park and drank a sip of barley tea from the plastic bottle.

Shiratama was standing with her back to the horizontal bar pillar. She seemed to be undecided on whether to open the soda or not.

It had been a long time, she seemed confused.

He wished she would open it quickly. He wondered what was confusing her. Naturally, you cannot drink carbonated drinks without opening the cap. He thought she bought it because she wanted to drink it.

He let it go even though he was concerned about it, and Shiratama finally opened the cap as if she had made up her mind. She put her mouth on the plastic bottle. She closed her eyes, drank a little soda, and shook herself.

"... ──"

Baku stopped saying something. Tobi also wanted to talk to Shiratama, but decided to keep quiet and watch.

Shiratama carefully tightened the cap. She moved her shoulders up and down, sighing……and took a deep breath.

"Delicious."

“…Is it that good?” Baku whispered.

Shiratama opened her eyes and held up the plastic bottle. She was fascinated.

"As expected, it's delicious. No matter how many times I drink it."

"……Good for you"

That's all Tobi could say to her. Shiratama smiled at Tobi.

"I think I can fight for a month with this."

"...Do you want to fight?"

"Yes--"

When Shiratama shook his head, her long hair swayed.

"No! Fighting is a metaphor."

"I like it so much..."

"You like it?"

Shiratama tilted her head and blinked. For some reason, Tobi ate the bubbles.

“…Y-that’s why I like that juice…what was it?

“Grandmother told me that soft drinks other than 100% fruit juice, especially carbonated drinks, are the devil’s drink, so I was strictly forbidden to put them in my mouth…”

"Devil is a big deal."

When Baku spoke in an exasperated tone, Shiratama's eyes fell down.

"It’s because it's bad for your health. Grandmother hates things that aren't good for my health. Thanks to that, I grew up quickly, and it's like this."

Baku laughed viciously. "Are you sure you're drinking this in secret? The devil's drink."

"Hmm..." Shiratama frowned exaggeratedly. "I can't even make a sound..."

After taking another sip of barley tea, Tobi thrust the plastic bottle into Baku. He grasped the bar with both hands and rotated backwards.

"Wow!" Shiratama's eyes opened wide at once. "That technique is certainly going around hell! Isn't it!?"

"... I guess. Maybe that's the name."

"Can you turn around as well?"

"Ah. Before? I could do it--"

Tobi made a full turn forward. Shiratama jumped.

"Around heaven!"

"... I can go around as many times as I want."

"I want to see!"

"That’s fine, but……"

Tobi rotated backward three times, then forward three times in a row.

Shiratama was shocked.

"Wow, I... I'm watching something that I can't believe a person is able to do..."

"... Is it that big a deal? This much..."

"What?"

Baku let out a vulgar laugh that sounded like "gehe".

“Are you embarrassed by your impertinence, Tobi?”

"Huh? I'm not shy..."

"C-could it be possible to do even more amazing techniques...?"

Shiratama’s eyes were sparkling. Were her pupils dilated? She seemed a little excited. She seems to be waiting.

"... Well, I can do it. Wasn't there a story to tell?"

"That's later!"

Shiratama answered immediately.

In the end, Tobi had to spin around so much that he ended up performing the feat of letting go of the horizontal bar and grabbing it again while spinning.

Dear blog,

Someone recently asked me why I'm so obsessed with my best friend. Honestly, it didn't take me long to answer. They're kind and sweet and caring and strong and cool and imperfect in the most beautiful ways. I'm happy when people ask me because it makes me remember all the things they do that make them so incredible.

I make a lot of inappropriate jokes about wanting to get freaky with my bff but honestly they are probably the best, most incredible person I've ever met. I don't just want them for sex... I crave their attention, and their time. I want their gentle touch and soothing words.

I want their fingers to massage my scalp ever so lightly because I have a headache that just won't go away. Or hold my hand in their big warm one, squeezing it just a bit tighter everytime we cross a street.

I want to hear their raspy voice grunt in response when I ask them if they're still listening as I rant on about bl for the 3rd hour in a row. They don't really care and I know that but they listen because they know it's one of my interests.

They watch my anime recommendations despite most of them being trash. They listen to me obsess over kpop and pretty boys and wears those dangle earrings and eye makeup I give them. They send me selfies they took for the sole purpose of me having them to show people that I don't want to talk to, "Yes, I do have a s/o."

They give me their big baggy cardigan to wear when I'm cold. Or they let me wrap my arms under their jacket and around them because they're so warm and smell so good. Petting my head softly as they continue on with their conversation like what I'm doing is so normal for them. Giving me a warning glance and smirk as I pinch and squeeze the fat on their sides. They let me sit on their lap and fall asleep there as they converse with our friends while sitting outside for lunch. They put their jacket over me when it starts to rain to let me sleep on them a little longer. And they just give me that stupidly cute smile as they do the manner legs pose for me to dry their hair for them. Telling me they didn't want to wake me up because I "looked comfy all curled up like a kitten."

They grab my backpack, which is carrying way too many textbooks for one person to handle, and just slings it over their shoulder on top of their own heavy bag like it's been there all day. They walk me by the arm to where I need to go for my next class even though it's on the complete opposite side of campus from their own class. They sit close to me on the bus and let me dig my nails into their arm when I get scared because the whole carriage is swinging back and forth from going over a large speed bump a little too fast. It doesn't hurt them, I know because all they do is smile at me and tell me, "It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you."

They hold me close and kiss my head as I sit on their lap crying after my date stood me up. Then calmly speaks with said date when he tries to approach me again because they're mature like that. Quickly returning to hold my hand, without me even having to ask them to. They spend the rest of the day stating how crazy someone has to be to stand up a beautiful person like me and tells me dorky jokes because they know it will make me smile. And when I finally giggle in their lap again they look at me like they've just won the lottery as their fingers lace with mine.

They hand make birthday gifts for me because they just know nothing they buy could compare to the effort and thought put into the gift they designed and crafted themself specially for me. And when I pout sadly that the pendent fell off of the necklace they made me, they don't hesitate to drop everything and let me sit in their lap to watch as they fix it with their nimble fingers. Their tongue peeks out as they focus on fixing the small metal ring with their bare fingers, which are too thick, but that's not gonna stop them. And when they do finish fixing it, they smile proudly at me as they gingerly place it back around my neck.

They help me complete those stupid surveys for my psych class that require way too much effort even though they have a mountain of their own schoolwork to do. They support my choices and tell me how proud they are when I complete hard tasks or pass my courses. They ask me if I'm eating well, or drinking enough water, or getting enough sleep.

They don't look at me with lust, they look at me with pure affection. They look at me the way a parent looks at their child. I'm no fool, they don't love me like the way I love them. I know because they're kind to all their close friends. They care for them like a parent would. I know this. Even though I'm the only one they've held so close. Even though I'm the only one they give forehead kisses to. Even though I can tell by the way they touch me that they love having me in their arms as much as I love being in them...

So I like to read fanfics and watch romance anime and kdramas because I can picture me and them. It's easy because they're not that different from most leads who can be suave yet vulnerable with their love interest. Quirky and a bit goofy but are very bright. The type who is fiercely loyal and loves tenderly.

I know because they treat me, who is just a friend, so tenderly and so lovingly. I know that they will make someone very happy someday. Someone who will recieve those tender kisses on their lips. Someone who will feels their hands over all of their body and not just their own hands. And I know that that person will never be me and I'm okay with that. I've began making my peace with that a long time ago.

Until next rant,

Yama ✌

☁️Scuffed Jasmine and Aladdin|Kalim Al-Asim X f!Reader|

Pairings: Kalim Al-Asim X f!Reader

Plot: Y/n and Kalim going out at night,ALADDIN STYLE

•×•×•×•

A WHOLE NEW WOOOOOOORRRLLLDD

A HUNDRED REQUESTS IVE NEVER DONE

BUT IM SO GLAD I HAVE

THESE AWESOME PEEPS

LET ME SHARE THIS ABOMINATION WITH YOUUU

×•×

Me and my friend made this on call since we were both shocked,that for some reason, there were no "Whole new world" inspired fanfics of Kalim. Not that we know of,obvi. So yeah~ I did this because they told me I had the power to do it. Not because I wanted to.

Well I don't want to do alot of things that I'm forced to

(I'm looking at you, Wyatt from Genshin Impact. You made me do your commission 3 times in a row,how do you lose your keys 3 times in a row?!)

-----------------------------------

3rd person POV

It's fucking 11 am.

"Kalim it's almost midnight. Go to sleep"

Jamil said with a groan as he saw Kalim trying to stand up on his magic carpet.

"I need to have Y/n ride this! She mentioned that she thinks it'd be so romantic!!"

Kalim said as he nearly fell of the carpet

"It's past your f--.. frikin bed time"

"I'll be back before 1 am I promise! Pleaseee??"

Kalim pleads with puppy eyes

"No. Get down before you fall to your death"

"Aww.. you're no fun!".

Kalim whines as he used his magic carpet to go back to his room.

"He's gonna sneak out,I bet." Jamil muttered.

Knowing Kalim,he's an impatient bitch. He goes back to his room and without even a second later he gets back out and leaves.

No one can really tell him no.

"Jamil can't tell me what to do."

Kalim said as he sits down on his carpet,Criss cross apple sauce, with a grumpy look.

"Or.. maybe he can.."

he muttered as he stood infront of the mirror out of his dorm.

"I'm a terrible person..."

Kalim muttered as he sat down,hugging his knees infront of the mirror.

"Or not! He's just keeping me from having real fun!"

"But what if he loses his job.."

Kalim muttered as his magic carpet entered the mirror

"HEY WAIT!"

Kalim said as he jumped in the mirror too.

Now he was out of Scarabia.

"Eeh.. if he loses his job.. I'll just rehire him again!"

Kalim said as he jumped back on his carpet and set off to Ramshackle.

•Meanwhile•

"No you don't get it!!"

Y/n shouts at Yuuken and Grim who were yawning while listening to Y/n rant.

"Y/n please go to sleep."

Yuuken said as he snatched a pillow from Grim and used it to cover his ears

"LISTEN! HES CUTE OKAY?! AND NO MATTER HOW MANY MOTHER FUCKING PILLOWS YOU USE TO COVER YOUR DAMN EARS I WILL NOT STOP"

Y/n shouts as Yuuken stood up and left

"I'm sleeping on the couch. Grim,you can join."

"HE MADE A CUTE FACE AT ME! KALIM MADE A CUTE-"

Yuuken picks up Grim and leaves while slamming the door on Y/n.

"These morons are so bitter. Ehh you can't fall in love with someone you just met. Fuck him,I met Kalim 3 weeks before! And it was in secret!"

Y/n muttered as she stuck her tongue out and laid down on her bed. Still awake from thinking about Kalim.

*Knock knock*

Someone knocked on Y/n's window,lightly startling her as she turned to the source of the noise.

It was Kalim, waving at her with a warm smile.

Y/n smiled as she slowly walks toward the window and opened it.

"Aww~ hey Ka-- WAIT KALIM?!"

Y/n shouts at Kalim

"shh! We're gonna get caught!!"

Kalim said as Y/n nods

"My room is in the second floor.. how did you..?"

Y/n asked as Kalim backed away,revealing that he was standing under a floating carpet.

"What.. is that?"

Y/n asked with a slight chuckle.

"A.. magic carpet?"

Kalim said as he chuckled along

"Say,do you trust me?"

Kalim asked as he reached out a hand for Y/n. She was in disbelief.

"W..what?"

"Do you trust me?"

Kalim asked once more as Y/n's shocked face didn't wear off.

"Fuck no!" Y/n said as Kalim's smile faded.

"..w..what?"

"Bitchass I was joking!" Y/n said with a hysteric laugh

"Yes.. I do"

Y/n said as she reached through the window for his hand and out of her room and onto the magic carpet.

"W-.woah.."

"careful,you're gonna fall"

Kalim said as he helped Y/n stand on the carpet by holding on her waist and hand.

Once they both sat down in the carpet with Y/n clinging into Kalim's arm as if her life depended on it.

Kalim blushes lightly

"O-oh.. sorry bout that! I don't do too well with heights.."

Y/n said as she nervously let go and trying not to look down

"T..there wasn't really any of these carpets back home"

Y/n muttered as Kalim smiled as wrapped an arm around Y/n's shoulder

"Don't worry! I'll make sure you don't fall,trust me!"

Kalim said as their eyes met.

Both did turn away and hid a blush before the carpet started moving on it own.

Startling Y/n and making her hug Kalim's torso.

"Woah-!"

Kalim said as he wrapped an arm around Y/n's waist.

He realized she was so scared that her eyes were glued shut

"It's alright,nothing to be afraid of!"

Kalim said as Y/n slowly opened her eyes and saw a beautiful scenery that was above the clouds.

Y/n felt the cold mists of the clouds

"Woah.. This is so cool..!"

Y/n muttered as her grip loosened up around Kalim and she looked around

"It's like a whole new world up here!"

Y/n said as her hand held Kalim's.

He blushed a little but Y/n was too busy admiring the wonderful night.

"I always do this,just a little something that makes me feel better after an uneasy day"

Kalim said as he scratched his neck in nervousness

"So this is what you've been doing? Gatekeeping this world above the clouds from me?!"

Y/n said as a joke as she laughed making Kalim's heart clench

"then,let me share this whole new world with you"

Kalim said as he smiled at Y/n. Looking into her gorgeous eyes,getting lost in them.

"You're so beautiful when you're happy"

Kalim said with a smile as Y/n looked over to him.

"You're always so busy and tense.. y'know? You and Yuuken are constantly talking about stuff about your dorm and school that I feel like you need a break"

Kalim said as Y/n felt her insides fuzz up and feel relaxed around Kalim on the carpet.

"That's not true,I.. I took some breaks."

"No you don't,you always go for things that benefit everyone and not you"

Kalim said as Y/n scoffed.

"Tell me, princess.

When did you last let your heart decide?"

alim asked as he held Y/n's cheek. "I.. uh.." Y/n nervously said as she looked away.

Shit.. that was so awkward! I didn't even answer his questions properly!

"H..hey uh.. it's breezy up here,yeah?"

Y/n said as she laid her head on his shoulder

"Y..yeah.. your pajamas are pretty cute but doesn't look like it's gonna help you in the cold. Here,take my scarf" Kalim said as he removes it and wrapped it around Y/n's shoulders. "Thanks! I love (fav animal)" "I can tell,your pajamas is literally that" Kalim said as Y/n lightly punched him.

The two were nothing but fools in love. They both like each other,it was obvious. Yet,no one wants to admit it.

The whole time they were talking about their experiences and alot of jokes.

"Jamil would be so furious if he knew about this"

Y/n joked as Kalim laughed

"He would go berserk! That reminds me,I should hey you back.. Don't want you to miss your beauty sleep"

Kalim said as Y/n pouts

"I love it here! No Grim to worry about,No Yuuken to act sass on me! No Crowley to come to me when he has a problem"

Y/n said as she gripped on the scarf around her shoulders.

The carpet lowered a little to be under the clouds and still be able to see where they were flying above.

They were in the town.

"Woah..! It's so pretty!"

Y/n said as she looked down

"Looks like you got over your dear of heights"

Kalim said with a chuckle as the carpet lowered to be hovering over the empty streets and flew past several stands.

Kalim noticed a closed flower shop with display flowers out in the open.

Kalim tried to grab a handful but all he got were two flowers

"Sheesh.. That's the first time I saw you steal"

Y/n said as a joke as Kalim laughs

"Hey,even the carpet took one!"

Kalim mentioned as he took it and gave the flowers to Y/n

"Not really a fancy bouquet,but I'll give you one tomorrow! A really big one! But for now,this is what I got.. not alot but meaningful cuz I would totally steal for you"

Kalim said with the sweetest smile as Y/n blushed and accepted it.

"Meaningful? Kindly explain what these flowers mean then"

Y/n teased as Kalim looked nervous

"I.. don't know what half of these flowers are.."

Kalim muttered as Y/n chuckled

"This one is a tulip, a hydrangea and a heather"

"Heather? Flowers can have human names?"

Kalim asked cluelessly

"who knows,maybe humans are named after flowers"

"*gasp* a loophole!"

Soon,Y/n and Kalim got back to Ramshackle.

"I'll help you in"

Kalim said as he helped Y/n enter her room through the window.

"That was fun!"

Y/n said as she smiled at Kalim

"We can do this every day!"

Kalim said as Y/n fished something out of her pocket,a pen.

"Give me your hand"

Y/n said as Kalim did as he was told and Y/n started writing.

"That's my number,call me when you wanna go in a carpet ride together!"

Y/n said with a faint pink blush ok her cheeks

"Of course! We're gonna have alot more fun!"

Kalim said as he bid adieu to Y/n and left.

"The flowers!"

Y/n whisper shouted as she took a plastic water bottle and filled it up with water and placed the flowers in to save it.

Y/n closed her window before laying down in bed, remembering about Kalim's scarf and smiling.

I'll give it back tomorrow.. his scent is.. really nice..

And with that,Y/n drifted to sleep.

Bonus✨:

Kalim 'sneakily' made his way back to his dorm room with a chuckle.

It was dark and he could barely see anything,but he did memorized his room to know where his bed was as he jumped into it.

"What time is it?"

A strict tone said followed by the light switch in Kalim's room turning on,blinding him with the sudden brightness

"AHGG!!"

Kalim said as he shut his eyes and slowly opened them to his suprise.

"Why so pale? Kalim"

Jamil said as he was leaning on Kalim's door with squinted eyes

"ECK! J-Jamil! I-I didn't know you were here! How are you?!"

Kalim said nervously as he wipes the sweat off his suddenly now pale face

"Did you sneak out?"

Jamil asked,even more angered.

"n-no! I didn't! I swear! Why would I do that?! You said not to so I flew into my room and here I am!"

"You just entered your room through the window,Kalim."

"Did not!"

"You don't fool me"

Jamil said as Kalim was clearly almost going to cry,so Jamil gave it a rest.

"Don't keep doing that if you still wanna see Y/n"

"You're not gonna hurt her,right..?"

Kalim said nervously as Jamil ruffled his eyebrows

"No? Why would I? I'm glad you finally found your counterpart so why would I take that from you? Y/n is skilled,she can help me take care of you"

and with that,Jamil left with a sigh.

"I got away with it?... Yes..!"

Kalim whispered as he high fived the carpet and drifted to sleep,thinking about the earlier events he had with Y/n.

No. You didn't get away with anything

He let it slide.

Questions and theories

Alriiiight then, are we going to talk about a few things that stand out ESPECIALLY after the episode?

Firstly, John.

The hints he actually used to be a human were scattered here and there throughout the whole show, and this episode just gave another one. Namely, a poem. Arthur never recited it, it was John who remembered the last line first, for Arthur to tell him that it was a poem. "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a poem by Robert Frost, written in 1922, and published in 1923. The year when the action takes place is circa 1934. John’s been bound to the book for the last 10 years, so it was about 1924 when he got separated from the King. I have A LOT of questions. How did he learn that poem? Where did he hear it? Next, the song. You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love) was first recorded in 1931. Arthur apparently doesn’t listen to the radio much so he didn’t even hear it. Why does John say it sounds familiar then? How could hee hear it if he was in the Dark World when it was released? Something doesn’t add up. And, lastly, there’s a name. He said it was familiar. It doesn’t even has to be HIS name, maybe it belonged to someone he used to treasure but forgot.

We know the dates in the show don’t exactly correspond to the real world. Plastic Jesus was out in 1967, so unless Kellen wasn’t from the future (which cannot be excluded completely, in full honesty) it was impossible for him to know it.

It’s either there ought to be some timey-wimey with the Dark World and John’s existence there (he did say he lived countless lives there, didn’t he?), or I don’t get it.

But the thing is, John didn’t really change only AFTER the coma. It was him who told Arthur to pull to a stop because there was an abandoned car. He didn’t say a word against making baby’s well-being their top priority despite the fact that they clearly had more pressing matters at hand. He shows a wide range of eemotions right from the beginning. Coma and what followed after expedited the process, true, but it didn’t start it. I don’t think Arthur exactly teaches John humanity, because John had it right from the start. He just needed a nudge in the right direction, and while Arthur isn’t ecaxtly the best guide, he does the most importantt thing - he challenges John all the time, constantly pulling him into moral dilemmas, conflicts, fights, all his messy inner world. Human world. Which John seems to remember pretty easily even after he lost his memory - Yellow was very curious of the world around despite all odds.

(I have to make a separate note about Yellow and this whole memory loss deal here. I was sort of perplexed as of why it should have been such a tragedy. Loss of memory isn’t exactly a time travel. John already changed, so even if he didn’t remember some important period, he should have remained himself. And guess what, he did. Most of shows and books I’ve seen seem to dive the “like time travel” path, sadly, but Malevolent sets quite a high bar with characters developement, so I had some hope. Considering how fast things were progressing, I was about right and very delighted with what we got. So I wasn’t really surprised Yellow was so... not-evil-god.)

So, all in all, while I like the “person not human” idea the most, this is clearly not where the show is going, and it’s okay. But I’m really curious how this whole thing fits into time frame. I’m inclined to think the Dark World is yet to play an important role in the explanation, but would be happy to discuss other options.

Next, the loose ends.

I’ve started listening to the whole podcast for the 3rd time in a row, so some things stick out. First, it was the symbol the hag drew on a baby. Luckily we got somee crumbs of info 20+ episodes later, yay! Next, in Stanczyk house the corpse had a pendant taken from from it. Now we encounter a similar situation in Larson’s house, only the pendant here is in its place and has the same symbol. Soooo were Stanczyks involved in any way? Is everyone in Arkham and around in some kind of a cult?

Oh! Nearly forgot! When the hag abducted the baby, there was a dead woman, too. I genuinely thought she was the girl’s mother. Was it just me? Or is it some kind of a retcon?

We also have no info on how Kellen’s sister head ended up the way it did. There HAD to be some rituals, right? Or no... But they both heard voices, and Kellen told he’s been to Dreamlands. What connection do they have to all this?

Also, THE KNIGHTS. I really hope to get some closure! We were so close to at least ONE answer and... well, the guys are still in the mansion - or the mines, doesn’t matter much - so we can probably get it in a few episodes.

Next, either it’s still a mistery or I didn’t catch because the 1st arc is really blurry to me even after 3 times I’ve listened to it - who sent the book to Arthur? Who wrote the journal they read in the library?

And now there are two whole new cults apparently - of the Black Stone (yaaay I’ve read the book’s plot but it didn’t really help) and of the Fallen Star? I need to relisten @_@ But why is John so interested in it? Hope he’ll tell about it in the nearest episodes.

The Play

I didn’t see this discussed yet, but I’m just 2-3 weeks into the fandom, so forgive me if it was talked about already. So looking at the source material - The King In Yellow books - we have all elements mentioned, but one. The sign, the King, the mask, Carcosa (btw I didn’t catch - was it the undeground city, or the one they met Kayne in, or we’re yet to get there?) - everything was either used in the plot or mentioned. The only thing that wasntt is the play itself.

However, what we heard were quotes from it. And - Kayne’s words that everything is predetermined. He knows Arthur’s whole life - how?

My hypothesis is that the whole story lind of is the play, and the gods can watch it inacted in what’s real life for Arthur. And the cultists, too, maybe - or they have to make do with bits and pieces. That would explain how they knew about Arthur and John’s journey in details.

I have to say I really like the take on fate and free will here though. Kayne says it all: everything is predetermined, but it also has always been Arthur’s choice on what to do. It’s even stressed with John’s constant “It’s your call”. Because Arthur doesn’t know the script, and he makes his own decisions, predetermined or not. It’s like these two concepts are on different levels, so they don’t get in each other’s way, and I think it’s beautiful.

I probably forgot something but whatever, I’ll just make another post.

I’m eager to discuss, everyone is welcome!

Would love to hear about the playlist

i love you. im going to put this under a cut bc it will get VERY LONG so. here it is. ultimate ethubs playlist autism (and heres a link to the playlist if you want to listen to it :3)

fair warning a lot of these songs are. love songs. which leads to a more romantic leaning interpretation but you can ignore those parts if you want, i didnt make this playlist with a platonic OR romantic version in mind i just picked songs

OBVIOUS BLASÉ: yeah this song is in the playlist twice FOR GOOD REASON. its the life series etho song of all time you will never find another one like it (it even fits dl but i wont mention that here. sorry). its first in the playlist bc its about ethos feelings on 3rd life because the entire song is about fire and literally playing with matches. i wont go on a 3l etho rant but yeah its very important. the playlist title comes from it! im not gonna bring up specific lyrics here bc they have more impact LATER in the playlist

THE LIGHTHOUSE: bringing back the fire lyrics YAYYYY ^_^ i think this might be the least connected song in the entire playlist but i had to include it bc i love it. just read the lyrics here i dont have a lot to say on them but i really needed to put a song in before bdubs turns red so this one is about them not knowing if this alliance will work out but going for it anyway <3

PARADISE LOST: oh my god ethubs song soooo so so mcuh i have to go through this with specific lyrics because i have to go indepth. this one is right after bdubs goes red for reference

obvious connections here - theyve knwon each other for so long they end up teaming and running in circles around eachother they cant stay away. also "yellow fades to blue" is a reference to a different song but to me if you replace blue with red its about them having the same dynamic as always until bdubs going red messes with it

do i have to. explain this. "cant bring myself to cut ties i know you better than anyone" i cant say anything more. themcore. they cant escape eachother no matter what and they DONT WANT TO

ok almost done with this song but THIS is about how etho is the boogeyman when bdubs goes red. also "will i survive its so hard to tell" screams and cries forever. etho keeping bdubs in the snow fort was "selfish" int hat he SHOULD kick bdubs out but he desperately doesnt want to but also it helps protect him from reds AND gave him a way to get a boogey kill

CLEAN CUT HEALS: im sorry for putting so many songs from one album in a row like this it just. worked out so well? another song about the snowfort split yeah yeah im predictable

they both KNOW they need to split but they dont want to even if it hurts more like this. i dont really have much more for this song EXCEPT the bridge. because while this song is etho pov the BRUDGE.

^ bdubs pov. right in the middle. im too reckless baby..... not much to say. but i had to bring it up so everyone knows

WITH ME TONIGHT: BDUBS SONG. BDUBS SONG. hes trying to win etho over to the red side hes wants it so badly but it isnt working. ignore the parts about it being unrequited it IS ok it is but not every song is perfect. i think it could be taken as bdubs exaggerating to make etho feel bad though

i wish they had killed eachother at least once so i could make this fit even more but.. well im glad they didnt also. + foreshadowing in that last line about how wanting to be with etho will kill him. i would just put screenshots of more lyrics here too but i dont want to reach image cap by adding things just to look at. listen to the song

EMPTY WITH YOU: [dies][dies][dies]

bdubs song begging etho to go red with him. hes bargaining so much by appealing to how much fun they can have as long as theyre TOGETHER. they could take down the whole server! soooo them so so so them. have cried listening to this one

COME UNDONE: "skeppy this is the third song about bdubs wanting etho to go red" ok and. they fit. theyre good. this one ESPECIALLY because it has ties to 3rd life (on yellow, i couldnt do anything. but now thats im red- im a weapon). also connects to etho being boogey

he wnats etho to go red but hes constantly turned down despite being able to TELL etho wants it too. also fire motifs. endless fire motifs. youll be seeing a lot of songs from this album bc its the most redlife bdubs album ever written

GREENER WITH THE SCENERY: cycles and loops and endlessly going through the same situations without seeing an end.... this song is etho after bdubs goes red for the 3rd time.

etho is frustrated that no matter how hard he tries to get bdubs back on yellow he isnt able to stop him going red again and again but he knows he'll keep trying. also do you know how much i would kill for an ethubs lifeswap that couldve made this so much more impactful but WHATEVER. its still good

BLOODY NOSE: bdubs is back!!! we've reached the river confrontation and life exchange deal.. yeah theres a lot of songs about this too because i feel a lot about it. bdubs knows he isnt going to survive this mission but he also knows its his only chance and he cant back out now because he will NEVER get etho down to red with him, even if he'd prefer being red together than yellow

he LIKES being red and how it feels to have that, even if hes going to die. also the dancing reference to fuel my personal insanity that i might go into some other day. + this song has "even on my worst nights i never stop the sunrise" which i take as a little nod to his sleep thing on hc

MEN ARE ALL THE SAME: oh my god. oh my god. bdubs after coming to terms with the fact he'll die here is bitter towards etho but also doesnt want him to be mad that he couldnt make it back. im going in depth on the lyrics here bc i REALLY LIKE THIS SONG AS A BDUBS ONE

obviously we start with the 3rd life reference because who am i if not a 3l etho insanitybot. hes reminiscing on their weird relationship in 3l and their weird fighting but not fighting thing they had. hes asking etho not to question why he likes being red so much and why he couldnt stay yellow for him and THEN the ultimate hit of the last 4 lines - if you love it then let it go (let bdubs prove himself and win a life back) but he knows etho likely wont be able to find out the full circumstances behind his death. (also a meta reference to how bdubs footage got corrupted. lol). but dont blame him for not being good enough... this song is so much. so much. hes bitter but hes scared and hes resigned

bdubs knows etho isnt going to win this on his own despite being known for his isolation. its easier to leave on a suicide mission than to continue trying to win etho over knowing itll never work

sorry i said some of the songs are explicitly romantic but you can take it figuratively - he never gets to say a true goodbye, forced to pretend he'll come back (isnt it a trope that people who leave on dangerous journeys wont say goodbye because "theyre coming back"? yeah. that)

TAKE IT AWAY: etho doesnt want bdubs to die he DOESNT. he wants to get him back no matter what but he isnt willingly to risk his own safety for it, because he hasnt fully processed that if he doesnt help bdubs hes out forever (i thought we would be together and everything would be ok again). FIRE MOTIFS ARE BACK!

i dont have coherent thoughts on this. take my hand take my life.. also unrelated but even the little intro sample thing fits because to me its etho questioning what he'll do without bdubs

MEANT TO DIE: [bursts into tears] bdubs... song..........

hes dead and hes out forever and he DIDNT WANT THIS he knew he was going off to die but he still tried his best his last words were crying out to etho. yes he made bad decisions as a red and bit off more than he could chew but he TRIED.

OBVIOUS BLASÉ (AGAIN): so. how do you feel now.

it is so hard for me to put how i feel about this song into words. while after 3l its his regret at not winnign and all that hes lost by this point it has entirely new meaning. "ghost, tell me that youll stay" is AGONISING bc bdubs DOES stay as a ghost, the only person in the series to do that. etho knows bdubs would prefer him with that bloodlust. and he knows its HIS FAULT that bdubs is dead, for not just giving him the life right there

they both knew it couldnt end well and they did it anyway. while in 3l etho was LITERALLY playing with fire and got burned in turn, this time merely pairing with bdubs was enough to doom him since they would never stay together forever and now he has to try get over that while still winning. bittersweet... (i didnt win it for you but you didnt win it for me either). yeah take this song away from me

ALL THAT IVE GOT: just. just. look at this. please ignore the gay sex implications the song isnt even about gay sex

i dont. i dont know what to add here really. etho struggling after bdubs dies and not knwoing what to do without him.. he forgets bdubs isnt with him and he just. doesnt know how to cope. this song is a lot but i cant even articulate it just LOOK AT IT. oh my god. its all that he can do

WATERED DOWN: we made it. finally. this took so much of my time. i actually dont have a lot of specific lyrics for this one because its just. more vibes than anything? just finishing off the playlist with more etho not knwoing how to live in ll without bdubs and then. like dying i guess. at this point im very tired listen to the playlist. how are you this far without listening to it please do

#mailing list #ITS DONE. THIS HURT ME MENTALLY. everyone tell me im cool now this is literally me crying about ethubs for however many words #imgoing to lie down now this took. an hour and a half #well no i elft for half an hour. so it took about an hour total

vro0m’s rewatch - 102/301

2012 Belgian GP

Disclaimer for this season. It turns out that I only have the footage of the race for a lot of the GPs (no build-up, no post-race content) so there will be way less GIFs unfortunately. I will let you know for each of these reviews if there are GIFs or not. THIS ONE HAS GIFS.

Alright it's round 12 already, post summer break, let's see whose upgrades work.

Apparently the qualifying session was very surprising. Lewis is down in 7th so I guess the McLaren is not getting any better, unfortunately. Oh wait. Jenson is on pole so... I guess the car’s not the issue... Seb is 10th!!! That's not good. Alonso 5th. Perez 4th. Raikkonen 3rd. It's Kobayashi sharing the front row! Surprising indeed.

Ohhh Lewis is stuck between Maldonado and Grosjean 💀 scary lol. Crofty says his co-commentator (didn't hear who it was except it’s not Brundle) called that (Maldonado - Lewis - Grosjean) the "danger zone". Yep. Yep. For sure.

Webber is 12th, with a grid penalty for a gearbox change.

Formation lap

Oh hey it's Lupe Fiasco with Nicole here to support Lewis! It's funny I used to listen to his music a lot a few years back.

Ohhh Kobayashi's brakes are smoking...

And they're racing!

Oh what, Maldonado jumped so quickly... Is that a false start? It seems like an impossibly quick reaction time. Yeah I went back and he clearly moves ahead of everybody else. Yep. I watched it a third time and he moved before the lights were off.

OH MY GOD HUGE CRASH. Lewis is involved. Oh no. Grosjean came from behind him, pushed him to the side and they made contact. It made him lose control of the car, crash into Grosjean who crashed into a third car and then a Ferrari that hit a fifth car. I can't believe this shit. Fucking Grosjean. I'm gonna have to watch a whole race for what now 😭

There is so much debris it's bad. Safety Car obvi. And now they're talking about Maldonado jumping the start.

Nicole is shaking her head. Lewis is out and walking oh... He's walking very slowly, deliberately, towards Grosjean... A marshal is already trying to hold him back. They're talking.

Alonso is not out of his car, the doctors are there, hunched over him. He's moving. He's getting out now, they are holding him gently. They're talking.

Lewis is walking back in the pitlane holding a piece of his own car. This image makes me extremely sad.

De la Rosa and Kobayashi pit, either they caught some debris or they're part of the other cars that were involved in the crash. Maldonado as well. And Lewis walking in the midst of it all, still with that chrome piece in his hand and his helmet on.

This is so tragic damn. Seriously. He's walking kilometers 😭 he's going straight through the other teams’ boxes and the mechanics standing there are watching him as he goes past them.

I wonder if he'll get in trouble for doing that because I'm pretty sure that's a security concern.

We see the replay. Now the commentators are certain Maldonado jumped the start, it's extremely obvious from the aerial view.

Oh so the third car involved in that accident was Perez, and Grosjean went OVER him and believe me it’s even more terrifying than whatever you’re picturing right now because, let me remind you, it’s pre-halo era.

The fifth car was barely touched, he was very lucky. I still don't know who it was. Oh it's Kobayashi, who completely missed his start. These on-boards are scary. We see Lewis taking his hands off the steering wheel to not break his wrists from the sudden jerking movements. Omg the view from Alonso... He's doing his thing and then BAM Grosjean is on top of his nose. Phew... Seb had to pit, we saw him collecting debris on the replay. Oh no, he actually hasn't, but Kobayashi did. Ah and Perez is out too.

Oh. We see Lewis' on-board again and Crofty says of Grosjean "he doesn't seem spatially aware of his car" which. Devastating and very true.

Ah see, I was right btw, I knew it was bad news for Lewis to find himself behind Maldonado and Grosjean. We see a replay of Lewis getting out of his car and tapping the side of his head essentially telling Grosjean "are you fucking crazy?"

Lee Mackenzie says she talked to McLaren : he is okay but he won't be talking to the media until after the race.

And the Safety Car is in. There's still loads of debris. So Jenson is still in the lead followed by Hulkenberg and Raikkonen. Maldonado has parked his car AND he's under investigation for that jump start. Lol we see a replay from Charlie's cabin and he's shaking is head watching that start.

I'm gonna watch this race on x2 speed because hey.

Alonso is sitting in Ferrari's garage, he looks fine.

OMG Kovalainen spun and almost collected another car spinning back around. Surely that's gonna be a penalty for dangerous driving? (Nope, there was no penalty.) A RedBull has just been overtaken by a Williams...

One third of the race in, Jenson is still comfortably ahead and Seb is making his way up the field.

Now Kovalainen hit Karthikeyan in the pitlane, coming in as he was leaving. Webber is also making his way up the field. Seb is now up in P2. Jenson is still way ahead.

Two thirds of the race in, Jenson is leading, over 14s ahead of Seb and Schumacher. Webber is under investigation for unsafe release as he almost collided with Massa as he left his box while Massa was joining his. Oop. Karthikeyan just crashed. Raikkonen overtook Schumacher for the podium. There are 4 cars all contained within 1 second fighting for that 3rd position. Schumacher took his place back from Raikkonen. Webber is attacking Hulkenberg for 5th. 10 laps left.

Raikkonen overtook Schumacher again, Webber can't get past Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg overtakes Schumacher. Massa is now closing on Webber. Schumacher overtakes Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg overtakes Schumacher who pits anyway. Massa overtakes Webber.

And it's the end of the race!

Jenson wins, followed by Seb and Kovalainen.

Okay so Wikipedia time. About that accident, Grosjean pushed Lewis towards the pitwall, they touched, both lost control of their cars. Grosjean collided with Perez, was thrown in the air, crashed into Alonso and stopped against the outside wall. Lewis crashed into Kobayashi and Alonso after he was hit by Grosjean. Perez lost his rear wing and touched Maldonado which is why he then spun. Kobayashi's sidepod had a hole in it and he found himself in the last place after starting on the frontrow.

Grosjean received a €50'000 fine and a one-race ban (!). Maldonado received TWO 5-place grid penalties, one for the jump start, one for colliding with Glock at some point.

Ah yes! I found Lewis' post race interview on YouTube! It's terrible quality but anyway. He says he doesn't wanna talk about the start (what else do you have to say my man you weren't here for the rest of it...), he believes people saw what happened. Huge congratulations to Jenson, walk in the park for him. It's great to see that they have the pace. He has to try to pull that out of his car in the next race. The journalist says his fans will be happy to see he’s fit and well and is he not too shaken up after the accident? He looks to the side, and quickly puts on a smile, shakes his head and says he's had a lot worse than that. (Lol really? When? Cocky idiot (affectionate)) She asks if he's able to learn anything when he��s out watching the race and he says no, dejectedly. He doesn't elaborate. You can tell he's done with it and doesn't want to talk anymore. The journalist doesn't try to push him. That’s it.
