whats ur favorite 4 koma with rime?

I CANT CHOOSE one of these

i love her reaction to being called cute i love her unintentionally pissing off coko i love both that she repeatedly steals food and also her distress at not being listened to when she confesses. these 3 are always on my mind. near and dear to me.

#asks #kuki #SHES SO!!!!!!!!!! #im definitely siding with coko in the second one but i still love rime. #some crimes cant be forgiven (not letting someone sleep) but we can let it slide for her #rime coko is such a funny duo in the comics i love them i love whatever dynamic they have going on #i firmly believe rime does steal food but also #considering they want her to be the responsible one it would also be SUPER funny if she didnt & was just saying it #to keep things under control. meaning kafu knows she didnt do it & thats why she doesnt acknowledge rime #both are funny. im choosing to believe kafu just wants to be dramatic & rimes telling the truth tho. #i like her a lot (everyone is aware)

Eminescu [probably not in English obvs]: All Romanians have complained to me.

Me: ah

Me: once again i must apologise for the crimes of my ancestral country

Eminescu [still not in English]: I probably still dislike you for probably so many reasons. *vanishes*

very glad i'm an appellate attorney because no weirdos on the internet with an unhealthy obsession with the macabre and attention will reach out to me with questions about a criminal case since i'll never be the one with the answers they're looking for and even if they do contact me i promise i'll always tell them i don't remember.

#watching lost media hunt videos and like I've seen true crime videos that do the same... reaching out to anyone in hopes of learning smth #i get what they're doing but if i was one of those people being contacted 10000 rimes a day after telling them i dont know id be pissed too

MATCHBREAKER

inspired by TAWOG’s “The Matchmaker”episode. aka damian asserting his dominance the prequel. everyone is aged up and legal.

pairing: yan! batfam/teen titans x kitsune! reader

status: unedited

[ prequel to this fic ]

Damian had finally come to terms that he may have a crush on you. As evidenced by his large collection of photos, clothing and drawings. But, along with this came a slew of obstacles.

Now you see the biggest problem about his crush on you was that a lot of people also had an obsession with your magnificent self, mainly Garfield and Rachel. In addition to your newfound relationship with the former, Damian was in shambles.

And Rachel, not realizing Garfield was actually serious about his flirtations towards you, may or may not have created a love potion that he ended up stealing and dosing you with.

“So you’re saying that the reason why I’ve been suffering these past few days weren’t because they genuinely loved each-other, but because you. screwed. up?!”

Dick shook the magic-user back and forth. You had been outright rejecting his advances these past few days in favor of actually being loyal to your boyfriend and it hurt his poor ego; shattered his heart. Not only that but the two of you would engage in such aggressive PDA he wouldn’t be surprised if you two started boning during a fight.

“No, it’s because they’re just destined to be together— yes, Grayson! I screwed up!” Rachel shoved him off of her. Dusting her cape before readjusting it to cover her entire body again.

“And Garfield didn’t consume any of this Love Potion, you speak of?” Kori thought back to the times Garfield outright said how much he loved you. He was quite shameless but he never got serious or confident enough to properly pursue you when the entire team was after your affections.

“That’s. . . all on him. The Love Potion works with just one recipient.”

“That little—“

Damian interrupted Jamie from swearing, an even graver look on his face as he commander. “Titans. It’s time to play Matchbreaker.”

PLAN A: FE[A]R OF COMMITMENT

The plan of attack included several strategies. Each carefully thought out before hand. Well, for the most part.

“[Y/N] hates commitment. What if we scare them by making Garfield propose?” Jamie proposed, the beetle behind him pulses its lights in agreement.

“On it.” Tim got to working. In just an hour he had a site and link to lure you in. Running on pure determination to keep you away from Beast Boy, it wasn’t a challenge to make an elaborate trap by hacking into Garfield’s account and messaging you. That, and considering you’re a bit of a boomer. You didn’t really question much of what was happening.

“. . . You’re invited to a wedding with Garfield?” You read aloud as everyone watched with bated breaths.

But instead of reeling in disgust, it’s almost as if hearts started growing out of your eyes as you squealed, “Awe~! A-ccept!”

Everyone deflated in defeat. Some looked to Rachel in scorn. “I may or may not have increased the dosage to . . . almost unbreakable levels.”

“Why?!”

“As . . . practice. . .” Rachel looked away, using her cape to partially cover her face.

The rest of the titans collectively sigh.

“Nothing a little finesse can’t fix.” Dick cracked his knuckles.

PLAN C: [C]RIME OF PASSION

“[Y/N]. You look stunning today.” Nightwing approached you. A smirk on his face that would look menacing if it wasn’t from your friend.

“Thanks, Dick — I— “ You waved at him only for your lips to meet his seconds after. You struggled to push him away, but that only worsened the situation and prompted him to insert his tongue.

The worst part of the whole situation being that Garfield just walked in to witness that.

Rachel and Damian appeared behind him, courtesy of the former’s magic and with the latter holding a baton in his hands. “What’s this?”

“A crime of passion.”

The two were prepared to knock out Garfield if he did seriously attempt hurting you. Desperate times call for desperate measures after all, and since he wasn’t affected by magic everything should go according to pla-

“But they’re too good not to be shared!”

“Alright folks, get the big bird off of them!”

Dick was knocked out by Jason and Victor, effectively putting him out of commission for the next . . . several plans.

PLAN F: [F]URRY LOVE

“Okay who named this plan, exactly?”

Rachel questioned as she looked through the blueprints and diagrams on the board (Yes, they were being that thorough).

Victor coughed at her comment.

“Before we start this properly I can at least make one of his transformations last a while so they don’t . . . “ Do the hanky panky. Everyone thought in different levels of crassness in their head.

“Do it.” The entire team wordlessly agreed, if there was anything they’d do everything to stop it was you getting down and dirty with the green young adult.

After an intense mission and just as Rachel’s spell dictated, Garfield was stuck in his gorilla form. “I- I can’t turn back!”

But the heroes seemed to forget that you also had a furry form and did not mind Garfield’s in the slightest, even cheering him up by saying, “It’s fine, honey. It just means there’s more to love!“

“GET THEM AWAY FROM EACHOTHER, NOW!” Victor screeched in horror, circuits frying from the terrifying sight he’s witnessing.

After promptly blasting the two of you apart for a bit, the team members hurried into their positions for the second half of the plan.

“Quick, get the lice!” Kori hollered at Jamie who was fumbling around with the box of lice he bought online. She then lifted him overhead, allowing the blue suited man to cover his former friend (he didn’t consider him a friend anymore at this point) with the insects.

“Ack! Why am I feeling so itchy?”

“Let me help you with that—“

You two are swiftly sent to different parts of the state before things get too nasty.

PLAN L: JEA[L]OUS DAMIAN (actual name: [L]eft Nut)

It has been almost a week since they started unleashing their plans upon the couple but the Titans and co. didn’t gain much ground. Your infatuation almost worsened as the days went by, and keeping you away from Beast Boy was close to impossible when your specialty in the team was stealth and espionage.

“Demonspawn? Hang on — what are you-“ Jason, who had a perfect line up for Garfield’s scrotum raised his hands in annoyance, watching through his scope as his younger brother suddenly swooped in to grab you from your boyfriend and ruining his shot.

“Well . . . That works.”

Once Damian had you secured in his room, he slammed you unto his bed.

May it be from the shock of sudden movements or seeing your own crush hovering over you, the effects of the Love Potion broke and you leaned upwards to kiss your leader.

You two spent hours tied up together before you eventually pulled away. Meeting the youngest Robin’s still angered face you laughed awkwardly,

“Ahaha . . . I’m screwed aren’t I?”

“Oh Habibti, you can’t even imagine.”

Damian was unsure of his future with you. What he was sure of was that this little fox needed a leash, and what leader would he be if he didn’t assert his authority?

[facts-i-just-made-up]

I need you help, I work at a lobster restaurant and my friend just asked me the lobster secrets. Do you have any facts about lobsters?

Please note that I never, ever do requests for help like this, and as such will not help you at all. Here are the secret facts of Lobster Lore, or "Lorbstore":

Lobsters are neither crustaceans nor insects, but a type of sea bird like the albatross.

Lobsters come in every color of the spectrum, including several shrimp-only colors that humans can't see.

Some monstrous Lobsters can live on land and attack gunslingers and crime bosses. Brine Sabres can defend against them.

Lobsters were once considered disgusting and inedible, but are now considered a delicacy owing to their great PR guy.

Lobsters are the only sea animal known to be ticklish. The way this was discovered is very disturbing, and inspired several horror films.

Lobsters contains many strips of white flesh, and can drop smithing stones and rimed crystal buds. John Boyne didn't realize this was an Elden Ring thing and included it as real-world fact in his novel, "A Traveler at the Red Lobster All-You-Can-Eat Buffet."

One in every 500 million lobsters has wings. As 7 billion lobsters are caught daily in Maine alone, this fact is unremarkable and thus is not included in this list.

Lobsters are named after Robert "Bob" Lobster, a mobster from Gloucester.

The word "Lobster" is German for "Sport Utility Vehicle."

[queenlucythevaliant]

Okay, here we go. Rating literary allusions in Taylor Swift songs:

The Outside: "I tried to take the road less traveled by /but nothing seems to work the first few times/am I right?"--Starting off pretty well! She tried to take the road less traveled by, but it didn't make any difference. 8/10

Love Story: Whole song allusion to Romeo and Juliet-- All those 2008 jokes about Taylor not having read R&J weren't funny then and they aren't funny now. It's a fun, satisfying subversion. However, I am going to dock points for the fact that Romeo and Juliet aren't a prince and princess, just rich. 7/10

Love Story: "You were Romeo/I was a scarlet letter"--Is the Juliet character in "Love Story" being publicly shamed? Did she do something scandalous? There are zero other lines in this song to suggest that she did, and a fair amount of evidence that she didn't. This allusion confuses rather than clarifies and tbh this is the one people should've made fun of in 2008. 2/10

New Romantics: "We show off our different scarlet letters/ trust me, mine is better" --Hooray! She figured out what the book is about! This is a beautifully executed allusion, where "scarlet letters" represents a mark of something shameful which, in a fun subversion, is being shown off with pride. Fits the song really well. Most improved award, 11/10

Getaway Car: "It was the best of times, the worst of crimes" (A Tale of Two Cities) -- Goes in the category of "fun wordplay, but doesn't really mean anything deeper" 5/10

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: "Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year" --This is a perfectly serviceable allusion, but not a super interesting one. Sub "Gatsby" out with "nostalgic" and the song wouldn't change at all. She could've done a lot more with the reference, given the subject matter of the song. 6/10

cardigan: "I knew you/tried to change the ending/Peter losing Wendy" -- This works! You get a sense of Betty losing her innocence and choosing to leave James and of it being inevitable somehow. Plus, it imbues the song with a lovely fairy tale quality. 10/10

illicit affairs: "take the road less traveled by/tell yourself you can always stop" -- To take the road less traveled by is to do something risky, unpopular, or unfamiliar, not just to take a route through town where you won't run into people. Not totally egregious, but the regression from Debut is disappointing. 4/10

invisible string: "and isn't it just so pretty to think/ that all along there was some/ invisible string tying you to me."(The Sun Also Rises)--Ugggggh. Okay, so "Isn't it pretty to think so?" is this sad, tired, ironic note in The Sun Also Rises. Brett tells Jake, "We could have had a damned good time together" and Jake says "Isn't it pretty to think so?" because their whole situationship was never going to work. It's not a positive thing; it's pure, bitter Lost Generation irony. Completely out-of-place in a song about how two people we're supposed to believe will actually work as a couple. This one drives me nuts, and I don't even like Hemingway. 0/10

happiness: "I hope she'll be a beautiful fool/ who takes my spot next to you" (Gatsby)--Saying this about an ex's future SO is so... off. Like, the reason why Daisy hopes her daughter will be a beautiful fool is because it's easy. The two situations have nothing to do with one another, and not in an interesting way. 1/10

The Albatross: whole song allusion to "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," but most notably "She's the albatross/ she is here to destroy you"--The albatross in the Rime is a good omen. The Mariner shoots is for no reason, and the albatross's death is the ostensible source of bad fortune. I wrote a whole separate post on this here. That said, culturally "albatross=bad omen" is common enough, so whatever. 3/10

I Hate It Here: "I will go to secret gardens in my mind/ people need a key to get to/ the only one is mine" -- I like this one a lot. Exactly the right vibe for the song, trying to escape something miserable by going somewhere pleasant. The key is a nice touch. Poor Archibald. 10/10

The Prophecy: "I got cursed like Eve got bitten" --No Taylor, that's not what happened. Famously, Eve was the biter in that situation. 0/10

Cassandra: whole song allusion -- correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't actually read the Illiad), but my understanding is that Cassandra died fairly far into the Trojan war, and not by burning. 4/10

#this probably isn't exhausive lol #but it's what i've got off the top of my head #this was weirdly cathartic to write #you guys know i adore taylor swift but literary allusions have always been my biggest nitpick with her #i would just like to send her to an English class or gently help her out or something idk #tay tay #i'm aware that i'm not addressing Peter off ttpd but that song is such a nothingburger that i really can't be bothered #pontifications and creations #literature makes us more human

OFMD and Rime of the Ancient Mariner

I have to shout out @nonsensicalramblings79 who wrote their own analysis of the connections. It's very worth reading. But I want to talk less about symbols and more just bits of the poem that vibe with the season so far.

The "impossible bird" that Ed references in ep 1 immediately made me think of an albatross, because there was a sailor legend that albatrosses always flew across the ocean and never stopped on land.

And because there's a strong connection between sailors and albatrosses, most famously as a result of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1834).

So because the other post linked above didn't quote the actual poem much, that's what I'd like to do to point out WHY it feels like this is an actual connection.

First of all, the poem takes place At a Wedding, in which the Ancient Mariner is a fairly unwelcome guest. We learn at the end that he is cursed for the rest of his life to forcibly spill out his story to people when he sees someone who he's Meant to tell. So he's talking to a Wedding Guest in the middle of a wedding party.

It is an ancient Mariner, And he stoppeth one of three. 'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp'st thou me? The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide, And I am next of kin; The guests are met, the feast is set: May'st hear the merry din.'

This is how it begins. The mariner has a "long grey beard and glittering eye." Okay, Ed-core. He's at a wedding and stops this bridegroom's next of kin, who complains why are you making a fuss, the party is going on right now, they're going to hear you. Definitely evoking Ed crashing the wedding in ep 1.

So the Mariner was on a ship, a storm came and blew them off course, then they saw an albatross in the sky and were able to get free of the ice. I find it interesting that the albatross:

It ate the food it ne'er had eat, And round and round it flew... And a good south wind sprung up behind; The Albatross did follow, And every day, for food or play, Came to the mariner's hollo!

The albatross ate the food it had never eaten, it flew around and came everyday when they called it for food and play. This evokes Ed and Stede in their honeymoon days on the Revenge, Ed trying new food, them playing different roles and eating good meals...

Then more fog and ice came and so the Mariner shoots the albatross. Everyone is happy about it because they think it brought bad weather until they become becalmed. We get the most famous lines of the poem:

Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.

That has nothing to do with OFMD it's just Good Poem. I do find the next stanza evocative:

The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea.

Very Kraken-y. It will come up again. The crew decides the Mariner did this to them by killing the albatross that had been their friend and good luck. They tie the bird around his neck as a mark of his crime.

It goes on to describe them all dying of thirst and how then Death comes on them and all the men on the ship, 200 of them, die EXCEPT for the Mariner. All of them die looking him directly in the eye, cursing him in death.

Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony. The many men, so beautiful! And they all dead did lie: And a thousand thousand slimy things Lived on; and so did I.

So I said the slimy things would be back, the Mariner is relating himself to them, again like Ed and the Kraken. Here we get to the part of the poem that is about the Mariner's inability to die. He's been cursed and so he cannot die, despite his desperate situation. This is where it really resonates with Ed in the early eps of S2. He desperately wants to die. He feels he is a curse on humanity, which he acts out in his violence, and also a curse on his crew, who he is ruining. He wants to die but cannot, despite all his attempts at getting someone to kill him.

An orphan's curse would drag to hell A spirit from on high; But oh! more horrible than that Is the curse in a dead man's eye! Seven days, seven nights, I saw that curse, And yet I could not die.

He tries to pray, but his heart is "dry as dust" and he cannot. But after seven days he starts watching the snakes in the water and enjoys the beauty of the world around him, and the albatross falls off of his neck and he can pray. He prays and basically a spirit or God or Mary answers him. It rains and he drinks water and then the corpses of the crew, which have not rotted at all, stand up inhabited by spirits and begin working the ship again. Wind carries it back to his home.

Yeah zombie sailors, dead men crewing a ship, WAY before Pirates of the Carribean.

So anyway, eventually he hears two voices speaking on the air.

'Is it he?' quoth one, 'Is this the man? By him who died on cross, With his cruel bow he laid full low The harmless Albatross. The spirit who bideth by himself In the land of mist and snow, He loved the bird that loved the man Who shot him with his bow.' The other was a softer voice, As soft as honey-dew: Quoth he, 'The man hath penance done, And penance more will do.'

I find the lines about the spirit who loved the albatross, who loved this man, who shot him. So the Mariner killed something who loved him, and that was his sin that brought the curse on him. But now he's done penance and will do more and that's why he can be saved.

Could make a connection to Ed shooting Izzy, but also it feels like Stede is also the albatross, but rather than Ed killing him, the albatross failed to love him? IDK Maybe Stede is the spirit who loved Ed the albatross and Blackbeard killed the Ed that Stede loved....that fits best. And it's the spirit who saved him ultimately. As Stede in mermaid form saves Ed.

Getting to that, the boat approaches land.

Oh! dream of joy! is this indeed The light-house top I see? Is this the hill? is this the kirk? Is this mine own countree?

Lighthouse imagery, of course. So a boat approaches this ship, with a "Good Hermit" in it. The ship however basically cracks in half and sinks right in the bay, and they fish the Mariner our of the water and think he is dead, but he wakes up and scares the crap out of them. Then he starts to row for shore.

'Ha! ha!' quoth he, 'full plain I see, The Devil knows how to row.'

They call him The Devil, which I point out because Ed calls himself that.

Basically he tells his whole story and here is where we learn he's compelled to tell his story when he meets the right people. He closes by talking about how alone alone alone he was and how he appreciates being with people and walking to church with them, going to a wedding. And also learned how important it is to cherish all creatures in the world.

And finally the Wedding Guest who heard this whole story:

He went like one that hath been stunned, And is of sense forlorn: A sadder and a wiser man, He rose the morrow morn.

IDK I just like this image of being sadder and wiser when you wake up in the morning, which again feels evocative to how Ed is going to wake up maybe?

IDK. I don't think we can say "oh clearly they had this poem in mind while writing these episodes", but they feel to me like they were written with this somewhere in the back of their minds. The reference to the impossible bird feels very much like a literary reference to an albatross, which would immediately conjure the "what happens if you kill an albatross" from this poem.

If you're still reading, hope you enjoyed this little journey into poetry. I'd encourage you to read the whole thing. It's very very weird and unique.

@orphicrublee

“Okay, so that is..” Wilbur paused for a moment to start counting the amount of blocks he had placed.

He was playing Minecraft, more specifically a creative world to just build whatever. Tommy sat right next to him so he was on Wilbur’s left, watching, lightheartedly criticizing, and insulting whatever Wilbur did.

“Twenty.. Twenty one… twenty two.. twenty three.. twenty four. There’s twenty four, finally.” Wilbur didn’t bother to double check as he continued placing blocks. He was trying to make a house, built on a 24x24 base. Tommy raised an eyebrow. Wilbur was wrong, he’d only placed twenty-three.

“No, there’s twenty three. Are you an idiot?” Tommy looked over to Wilbur, who very quickly shot him an annoyed glare.

“No, there’s twenty four!” The brunette shot back. Tommy rolled his eyes.

“Do you not know how to count? There are twenty three, look!” Tommy then reached over Wilbur, grabbing the mouse and starting to count the blocks.

“Three, four, fivesixseven… eight…” Tommy went on. Wilbur was incredibly annoyed at the way Tommy stretched over him, and was very vocal about it.

“Will you get off of me-“ “Shut up!” Tommy resumed counting.

“Twenty one.. twenty two.. TWENTY THREE. See! You miscounted, you dumbass!” Tommy sat back down in his seat. “You don’t know how to count.”

“I do know how to count!” Wilbur protested, throwing his arms up in the air in “frustration.” “I just miscounted!”

“Exactly. You can’t count! Do I need to teach you how to count, Will?” Tommy grinned evilly. Wilbur moved his chair back, and then stood up.

“No. Do I have to teach you how to not be annoying for a day?” Wilbur glared at Tommy for a few seconds, and then turned away. This was Tommy’s chance.

Tommy stood up silently, and he tackled Wilbur to the floor. They luckily didn’t hit anything on the way down, but that didn’t stop Wilbur from screeching at the top of his lungs.

“TOMMY! What the fuck!? Get off me!” Wilbur started shoving Tommy, but the teen was quick to grab a strong hold on Wilbur’s wrists. He pinned Wilbur’s hands under his knees so that he could still have both of his hands.

“What are you doing!?” Wilbur’s voice had raised a few octaves.

“Jesus. Interrogate, much? Calm down.” Tommy’s tone was calm, on the contrary of Wilbur’s.

Tommy then placed his hands on Wilbur’s sides, his fingers resting on his bottom ribs. Wilbur’s eyes widened, and his first thought was;

‘Oh, fuck.’

“T- Tommy.. Noho, don’t you dare!” Wilbur began to giggle nervously. He was fully capable of freeing his arms, turning the tables on Tommy and preventing himself from being absolutely wrecked. But he found himself not wanting to.

A feeling of giddiness, anticipation and a bit of excitement rose in him; this was visible by how he smiled alongside the bright pink hue that began to rise in his cheeks. He was embarrassed at his enjoyment of the situation.

“I do dare, though. I said I’d teach you to count, yeah? What better way to do so thann.. to count your ribs?” Tommy grinned evilly, and Wilbur glared at him as best he could.

“Seriously? You’re gonna do that!?” Wilbur scoffed. He knew this game, he’d seen Tommy do it to Ranboo. But he didn’t think he would fall victim to it.

“Yep! Now, let me start.” Tommy moved his fingers up slightly, wiggling his fingers on the spaces between his first two ribs. “One..”

“TohOMMY-“ Wilbur yelped and flinched to the left, though it didn’t do anything to help as Tommy was doing this to both sides of Wilbur’s ribs.

“Don’t move too much, I’ll have to start over!” Tommy chuckled evilly, and moved his fingers up again. “Two…” A little more. “Three… Four…”

Wilbur was giggling like a madman. Tommy was, thankfully, being gentle, otherwise Wilbur would be screaming. He tried not to squirm too much as he didn’t want to mess Tommy up.

“Five… six… seven… You’re doing amazing, Will.” Tommy smiled fondly now as he continued to tickle Wilbur, counting both sets of ribs at once. He’d be done once he reached 12, as each side was even.

“TohOHOMMY! Cohome ohohon, mahAN! Stohop!” Wilbur struggled to keep still, flinching each time Tommy even slightly moved his fingers.

“I’m almost done! Ten.. eleven.. One more, Will~!” Tommy very, very slowly moved his fingers up to Wilbur’s last ribs. He didn’t move his fingers, only rested them there to build up the anticipation. It worked.

“Tohommy! I swear, juhust COUNT THEM!” Wilbur whined, hiding his face against his own arm. Tommy laughed, and finally counted the final two ribs.

“Twelve! Now that times two is twenty four. You get how to count now?” Tommy lightly teased Wilbur for his previous stupidity.

“I gehet it. Are you done now?” Wilbur rolled his eyes. Tommy pretended to think for a moment, before suddenly digging his fingers into the spaces between Wilbur’s ribs.

“Nope!” Tommy laughed as he started to pinch up and down Wilbur’s ribs. He relished in the way his brother shrieked, grinning evilly.

“TohOHOMMY! NOHO! FUHUHUCK!” Wilbur screamed, trying to free his hands from under Tommy’s knees. He inevitably, as the tickles had made him weak.

Tommy didn’t keep up the rough tickles for very long, it was only to briefly mess with his brother. The chance was right there— why not take it?

“You’re a bitch,” Wilbur glared at Tommy as he was finally unpinned.

“I know.” Tommy smiled in response to the glare. Wilbur rolled his eyes with a quiet chuckle.

He knew not to miscount anything around Tommy again.

Or, maybe he should..

chuuya tattoo headcanons

i'm bored. time for chuuya nakahara tattoo headcanons because i thought of this the other day and i can't stop thinking about it.

BIG spoilers for stormbringer ahead i read it recently so a lot of my thoughts about chuuya related to Stormbringer First of all I think that the first tattoo that Chuuya ever got was an awful stick and poke from Dazai. He was curious about it whilst with the sheep, but never got up the courage. One time he got drunk with Dazai and got the other to give him a stick and poke. It's something like this. it's a shitty little dog with a love heart, and it's incredibly faded. He has this tattoo on his ankle

The next tattoo he got was after Stormbringer. After the lab, Chuuya developed a huge fear of needles for VERY obvious reasons. He hates them, but he doesn't want to stay with a fear of needles for his whole life because he really like the look of tattoos, and is also aware that he wants top surgery so will need to get over them. So, over at least 5 sessions he gets this tattoo

Obviously a variety of symbolism about this. It's an albatross, so clearly honouring the flags, however this tattoo specifically is based on a poem called The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It's a poem about a mariner who kills an albatross for no reason, even though it was helping the crew, and is then faces eternal punishment for this crime. It's a poem about not doing things against the will of nature (which Chuuya feels very strongly about post Stormbringer and the way the lab treated him), and facing punishment and guilt for a crime you've committed (specifically, Chuuya hoping that Verlaine suffers consequences from killing the Flags and Albatross). It's a super long poem and I haven't read all of it but yeah. After this point Chuuya gets quite a few other tattoos, I believe some to cover up any scars that he got in the lab in Stormbringer, as he hates those scars specifically. However, he would get a tattoo around his wrist, which circles around the scar that reminded him that he was human. Obviously overtime all scars fade, so he wanted to make sure he had a tattoo which he could use to identify where that scar was. It's something like this

I imagine he's got quite a few relatively expensive tattoos that he just generally enjoys as he has enough money from the mafia to afford them. I headcanon that he's really really bad at healing piercings and hates that healing process but for some reason tattoos are fine, so whilst he might want piercings as well he just ends up with a lot more tattoos after most piercings he get end up getting horribly infected. i'm actually so normal about bungou stray dogs and stormbringer did nothing to my brain chemistry

Frigid Incantation

Hands encased in rime, I deem summer to be a crime.   Icy stillness, then, is my decree! Winter is a time most sublime;   Blizzards bend by my chilling plea.

SAGE'S BIRTHDAY

gn!reader | haiii. it's been so long since i wrote for ll i'm pretty sure i'd commit the worst mischaracterization crimes i've ever committed Ever if i tried to write a oneshot but. happy birthday sage ^___<

I'm Incredibly hazy on lore so i have modern au in mind but if it's accurate to the game pretend i didn't say this.

for someone who loves partying, i don't imagine sage is someone who'd tell you about his birthday. he doesn't feel very enthusiastic about it.

but You? he knows you. he knows you'd put something together after finding out. and in notorious sage lesath fashion, he's teetering between wanting that, wanting you and letting himself be cared for, versus going about the day as usual because why put in all that effort? he's content the way things are anyway

one of the others would mention it in passing if you didn't ask yourself. no one voices their opinions on how sage didn't tell you. it isn't unexpected. the conversation instead immediately moves on to what you should do for it

like,, is a bar too obvious. does it feel too shallow? where else could you all go. In my mind this is just a house party but do what you will. you have to be careful with planning a surprise because he Will catch on, especially the week or so leading up to the day. tulsi is definitely a huge help btw. oh tulsi. (said with longing and nostalgia)

ohhh my god him sitting while everyone sings happy birthday. he doesn't get to stop you before you decide to tease him with the very first note, hands ready to start clapping. he rolls his eyes, but he's smiling and not moving to touch the food before you finish anyway

! not totally sure what present(s) i would choose but he's definitely getting a heartfelt card with a few silly jokes that would be written with so much love and care that he'd keep and read it randomly and be overwhelmed by emotion. and then maybe a funny shirt. a sick fucking sword.

!! put a little party hat on him. idc. i will make sure he wears one. if you wear a matching one it's a little easier.

party activities... of course there's talking about past parties. love a little drama and gossip. perhaps truth or dare. someone that isn't even You ends up promising to do His chores for a week ? not sure how that will go but everyone knows where your spare key is now.

PHOTOS :( chaotic photos... group photo around the cake... there's one of sage trying to do a cartwheel for some reason. someone tried to take a selfie with the camera but it was held up way too close and the flash definitely hurt their eyes (it was sage and anisa together while trying to figure out why it wasn't taking a photo.) a photo of rime fighting off people trying to put a hat on him

photo of sage and tulsi copying a photo from when they were younger 😂😂😂 i can't breathe. i can't bre

sage keeps using the fact that he's the birthday boy as leverage / reasoning btw. you're like For someone who didn't even mention his birthday, you sure are welcoming it now. and he's like ? of course. you have to take advantage of the opportunities given to you. < felix is currently, begrudgingly, sort of singing karaoke ?

and then there's the time you spend together alone

i would have reassured him / told him Not to read my letter at the party and to keep it for later. so while he's sitting in bed waiting for you (you forced him to stay away while you cleaned up some stuff because It's his birthday), he decides to read it. Oh man

sometimes he wonders if you're real

by the time you finish up and get into bed with him, sage is quieter and feeling vulnerable, the card put away in the night stand next to him to look at later. he thanks you for everything and your gift while holding you close.

he's always a little confused, stunned, that you'd choose to be with him. choose to stick by him despite all his problems, want to see him happy, love him to the extent that you do. but you whisper happy birthday one last time, pressing a kiss to his head while your fingers run through his hair, and sage thinks maybe he'll let it happen this time, and promises to himself to make it worth it. (and also that your next birthday will be a dream)

as i was writing this i imagined it of course as like, the First birthday you celebrate with him. but i think the years after, he'd let himself expect something and look forward to it more. especially if you promise to one-up yourself like okayyy intrigue. gonna make it a competition now ?

??? i still have my ll tag list but i don't know if it would be a jarring surprise to use it. or who'd still want a tag. um. if ur reading this tho Lmk what present u would get him. for research purposes. curiosity

#last legacy #sage lesath x reader #i miss u baby... #u will always be in my heart. #i even read old reqs to remember u. for u baby boo. #this could all be ooc btw and i would not truly know #let me live in bliss for a moment. pleek.

I Never even noticed Dons green sunglasses around his neck?!!!!

Intrusive thought- ‘like an albatross’ wow great thanks Rime of the Ancient Mariner!! Really needed that!

Oh that's such an interesting take!! 👀👀

The first thing I noticed when we got that early preview clip of Loki meeting Don was the sunglasses around his neck just from the shape alone mirroring Loki's helmet, and a bit of green/gold in the cord holding them seemed like way too much of a coincidence to be anything other than an indication Mobius would be connected to or influenced by a Loki in any universe? Especially once we later found out Don works indoors and wouldn't have needed the sunglasses anyway 😅

So I only ever considered them a good sign but you're also exactly right about how sadly there's also kind of a doomed-by-the-narrative essence to Loki's timeslipping which also burdens whoever he encounters during the process, as well as endless consideration as to whether the events that take place are sort of self contained or forcibly rewriting past scenarios, etc, but I digress because I could (and have and likely always will, lol) think on that forever.

There are tons of similarities with Loki representing the Mariner, saddled with penance far outweighing the crime, appearing out of nowhere to spin this tale which seems so unlikely but eventually compelling enough that no one could turn away, and a significance to the listener in the poem being interrupted on his way to a wedding in comparison to Don constantly mentioning his EX-wife, shoutout to him being so real for that as always 😂

Ultimately at least a version of Don still moved on without the pressing knowledge and sadness of fate on his mind but I've always wondered if there wasn't something of Loki's visit lingering due to there only being the one jet ski in his garage now?? Like in some way one had always been meant for Loki but after their sacrifice the timelines had additionally been changed but that's probably just my finale feels coming back again as usual 🙃

#tysm for a extremely intriguing ask!! #have always adored that piece and haven't thought back on it in quite some time so this was great fun #and i wouldn't have connected those dots myself which is why having so many amazing people around and in the lokius fandom is a gift 🥰💖 #lots of love to you and hope your week and the new year are off to a great start 💕 #ask
