LUPIN III - THE FOURTH

Aka "Lupin's extended family bullies him live on TV"

Y'all remember Maki from Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid?

☝️ This awesome kiddo who spent half of the movie harassing Lupin into taking her as an apprentice? And who was actually quite good at thieving, good enough that she managed to get to Lupin's target by her own means?

I think she should become Lupin IV.

...And I might have gotten a bit carried away.

Yes they all call themselves Lupin IV. Yes there is an explanation to that. The explanation is to bully Lupin.

Maki: master thief, and leader of the Gang. The actual official Lupin IV as far as the Lupin succession line is concerned. Outgoing and bubbly, a determination that can break though walls. (Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid)

Ami: tech expert and hacker. Likes to pretend she has no feelings. (Part 5)

Julia: social engineer/people person. Very strong personality and very confident. (Farewell to Nostradamus)

Kenny: gunman. Very loyal, inherited Jigen's "knight in shining armour" complex. (Part 6)

Murasaki: medic. Too tired for this bullshit but is actually having fun. A ray of sunshine. (The Fuma Conspiracy)

Long story short:

Growing up Maki never stops wanting to become a thief. By the time she's an adult, she's actually gotten quite good at it.

One day she runs by chance into Ami, and learns about how much Lupin changed her life. And how many other children - now adults their age - he impacted as well.

Maki sets out to find as many of them as she can, and founds her own thieving gang.

But Maki doesn't only have skills like Lupin's, she also has his knack for causing problems. So once she's assembled her team of "Kids Lupin Left Behind And Who Also Like Causing Problems", she goes out to find Rebecca Rosselini, aka Lupin's almost-but-not-exactly-divorced-wife (Part 4).

"Rebecca," she says, "do you mayhaps want to annoy the heck out of Lupin for funsies?"

"Boy do I!" replies Rebecca. "What do you need from me?"

"Oh nothing much," says Maki. "Just a little signature on these four adoption forms."

And thus Maki, Ami, Julia and Kenny legally acquire the last name Lupin. And all officially declare themselves Lupin the Fourth.

Lupin is fuming, Zenigata is having a stroke, the rest of the LupGang are laughing their asses off.

Murasaki is there too because these kids need a responsible adult.

EDIT: You can discover the supporting cast and more succession shenanigans here!

#i'd like to make it clear for people who haven't watched these movies: #neither maki nor any of the kids are related to lupin in any way shape or form #he was just forced into babysitting them at some point #(except kenny who was babysitted/kidnapped by jigen and decided to become a gunman after 2h of interaction with him) #yes i know lupin and rebecca never actually got properly legally married BUT its funnier if they did #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin iv #lupin the fourth #blood seal eternal mermaid #the fuma conspiracy #farewell to nostradamus #ami enan #murasaki suminawa #kenny howell #julia douglas #unfortunately maki has no last name so i cant tag her #digital art

I just heard someone say that getting married is the hardest thing they've ever done.

I'm sorry but if getting married is the hardest thing you've ever had to do, I don't think I can talk to you. That's fine, that's totally okay if that's hard for you. I just need a long moment of silence for my misjudgment of the average amount of suffering that any given human experiences.

#and obviously theres shit like forced marriage and things #however #if you are choosing who to marry of your own volition. that shit should be easy #i cant even count with all of my fingers and toes the number of things that have been harder for me than getting married #for one. the reason im not yet legally married which is that im disabled and im in a very intenese match of Do I Deserve Rights #with the government #after that weve got recovering from an ed. not sure how im managing that. plus i couldve easily died #you know from malnutrition. not only from me starving myself but also due to severe malnutrition in my entire childhood #due to neglect and abuse. its tge reason i never grew properly. i have a hole in my jaw. its also why my jaw is underdeveloped #ive got severe insomnia and anxiety to the point that i wont sleep for days without strong meds #and cant really leave my house alone #i lived through untreated hypothermia and likely heat stroke as well and those were both MUCH harder than getting married #i experienced child labor and escaped what was probably a cult given that i had to run away to an undisclosed location #cut off contact with everyone i knew from it and remain anonymous #i ran away from home because of the abuse and when the cops were called on me i had to sit thete #with a straight face and listen to social workers and authorities tell me that what i was calling abuse was ok and that i had to go back #i had to fight for an education that i never really got. same for medical care including emergency medical care #anyway point being i will be very relieved to spend the rest of my life with my favorite person after all of that #there are no regrets or uncertainties about that. my life is the best its ever been and she only makes it better

so I'm sure that I'll get into it in more detail at another time, or maybe not, but: one of the things you all know about my personal life is that I'm married. And, well, I am no longer married. I am now basically divorced, because my husband who is my best friend realized that he's a gay man, and we ended our romantic relationship for that reason. for the past several weeks my emotional state has volleyed between profound grief, and cracking up over mental images like a Dark Souls status bar filling up until it says "!! DIVORCED !!" on the screen. but lately i've been feeling better and more normal and well about it. stay tuned for more updates from my divorce era

#to be clear there is absolutely zero animosity. it's a very good divorce even though it's very bittersweet #i'm so happy for my gay ex-husband #believe me that we both know how hard it is to come to life-altering realizations about one's queerness lmao #also i say 'basically' divorced because we never actually got legally married. so no legal divorce either #louposting #divorce era

#i want to write that km prompt that just went up today :/ i cant but i want to #also was thinking abt married pierre n charles and how they spend their first night together. #like obviously they have sex! obviously. they just became a family of their own and theyre both insane abt Family Life #but like. maybe they think that. bc this has been their whole lives. they can pretend like nothing has changed bc really nothing has #all that's changed is that there's now a legal document saying theyre married. everything else feels like it was before. so like. #they try for quiet! and normal. they call it a night after one round. except charles cant sleep even if he's been tired all weekend #and he just. cant stop thinking about that one little change. how pierre is his forever now. how he is pierre's just the same. #pierre is out cold and charles just stares at his sleeping form half the night so full of love for this man here beside him. #eventually pierre wakes up to go pee and charles is half awake (finally sleepy after HOURS) when he comes back to bed #''why are you still awake...husband'' pierre whispers and charles just laughs #covers his face. answers ''i dont know...husband'' just to make pierre laugh. but then gets all soft and serious and confesses #that he's just. thinking about their love. yk? something tender and sentimental. pierre kisses him softly in his sleepy honesty #and they fuck (''make love!!!!'' charles protests later in the morning) again and it's just about the belonging of it all. just to be close #just bc they can and this was always how it was meant 2 b! matching rings for real. a life shared. a love so long-winded it will never end. #wow i watch one (1) scene from a show and go off. i think ive got some pent up insanity to release.

[garfield-milk]

do y’all think zuko and sokka sent sappy letters to each other with the most heartfelt poems ever written saying how much they missed the other just for historians, decades after their death, to say that they were real good friends?

#oh yeah firelord zuko. he never married and shared his room with sokka of the water tribe. who also never got married. #they sure were good friends #my hc is that they never got legally married but they proposed to each other and made a ‘secret’ wedding #aang wedded them #zukka #sokka #zuko

I feel like whatever was going on with majima/mirei/katsuya in the early 90s was some sort of complicated bisexual love triangle situation. like majima is majima and katsuya’s handsome and eloquent and absolutely doesn’t seem straight to me, but on top of that it feels like there was some sort of confusing tension between katsuya and mirei, not sure if it was romantic or one-sided or what but. SOMETHING. I don’t know what the hell was going on with those three really but no way in hell do I believe the romantic/sexual/??? depth ends with majima and mirei

#katsuya is HANDSOME and CHARMING and ELOQUENT. I just KNOW at least one of them was into him. probably both #one way I’m imagining it could’ve went is like #katsuya introduces majima and mirei to one another and mirei crushes on him pretty quick (because she is 19 and quick to do so) #majima doesn’t really particularly have an interest in her- not cause she’s unattractive or anything probably mostly because she’s almost a #because she’s almost a decade younger than him and barely legal. but at some point she confides in katsuya about her feelings for him and #katsuya being the sweet and honorable kinda dude he is acts as a wingman and tries to get majima to go out with her #and eventually majima relents because he doesn’t want to end up admitting to katsuya that he actually had a thing for KATSUYA #and by playing wingman for his good friend mirei majima takes it as him being uninterested and thus doesn’t shoot his shot and yeah #katsuya’s hard to say no to and hey I mean maybe mirei- a civilian- will make his life more capable of Normalcy #she’s conventionally attractive and is a decent enough friend- albeit he didn’t really know what she was like as a person before she was #crushing on him and also. again. she’s 19 and an idol. so inevitably her identity in general is NOT solid yet #almost as if rebounding off a relationship he never even Got- things move insanely quickly with mirei and they’re married in less than a #year. the whole time katsuya is there cheering them on- he’s smart and I think he’d see the red flags when it comes to their ages and #maturity at least but I think that’d become more apparent over time and he’d start to have regrets but #it’s way too late for that. especially when she comes to him bawling her eyes out because she’s found out she’s pregnant and she has no #idea what to do. both for her career and because she’s literally barely an adult she doesn’t want a child at that point but obviously she #knows she’ll feel guilty and- more than that- deep shame for terminating. she’s insightful even at that age and also maybe can read majima #well enough to know that he might take her abortion as a sign for him to book it to no longer cause her anymore issues. katsuya reassures #her cause what else is he gonna do. but of course she’s right and his commitment issues kick in big time and yeah. over the years katsuya’s #the in-between still close with both of them. specifically he’s closer with mirei and they trust one another a lot more than majima with #either of them- just because majima’s Like That and his trust issues create distance easily. nonetheless at some point majima asks him if #he’s been single for so long because he was hung up on mirei and apologizes if he got in the way of them and that leads into some really #long overdue admissions and likely hooking up. but of course majima is STILL majima and again kinda books it because feelings are #inconvenient and their time for something like a relationship has passed (or something like that). #mirei often wonders if things would’ve been better if she’d have ended up with katsuya instead but similar to majima she’s career-focused #now and just wants to value him as a friend regardless of any lingering potential feelings. majima ends up falling hard for kiryu #sooner than later and life just moves on from any romanticism beteeen the three of them- a nostalgic closeness lingers instead #rambling #that was. a lot.

was avoiding talking about it here because I was afraid I'd jinx it but I've been trying for years to get myself a passport so I can go back home to germany but the process was finalized yesterday and it'll be here in a few weeks :')

#i dont want to get too into it but um mom married an american when i was little who never got us naturalized #it was fine until i hit 18 and missed out on so many adulthood milestones that i legally couldn't do #especially going to uni i wasn't able to get any financial aid so i had to give up on that dream #but around spring I'll be in germany and i can finally start my life im so unbelievably happy #terrified bc this has been my whole life since i was 6 but happy #🦇.txt

hmmm skyrim character time

This is Quintus Soroicus, Imperial investigator and the Dragonborn himself.

Did his stint in the Legion and entered a lavender marriage with childhood friend Claudia Caseo nee Soroicus. Came to Skyrim to smuggle cures for witbane, for his mother, Julia Soroicus, once the most renowned investigator in the western half of the Empire, and now in the advanced stages of dementia. Arrested upon entry to Skyrim, and you know how the story goes from there.

A few generations back, he’s bastard Septim. Absolutely hopeless with magic, and almost as useless with a blade, he relies on his wits and his friends.

#heheeh skyrim oc time #skyrim #u see it was claudia who was actually invited to the thalmor embassy and he got in as her plus one #shes a name drop socalite in the empire ala vitorria vici #i should make her and her bodyguard girlfriend #they have a tragically fruitless marriage man wonder how that could possibly happen #if you want my take on elder scrolls same sex relations its that its legal but not necessarily encouraged #and of course this varies depending on region #sort of a real life take honestly #and also it varies depending on status #its fine for those two nord guys on solthestim to be married but its definitly less fine for a highly born imperial man or woman #to not carry on the family name #but luckily u can get married and fake it and have affairs with yr handome bodyguards #i do think i ended up romancing kaiden with quintus #although i dont remember #hes my one with five billion mod followers #uh hoth kaiden lucius auri inigo and that thief chick who mugs you #i never remember her name because i havent picked her up yet #u see the story hasnt taken them there yet #skyrim oc

Here’s the thing…

I really enjoyed a lot of Cutie Pie. I think Zee Pruk should always wear suits. Poppy was a delight as always. I was sure, going in, that I would enjoy Max and Nat doing their Max and Nat thing and I did love it. My little Monk was utterly charming and a unique character.

It wasn’t however, the arranged marriage story that I signed up for…

As the show points out multiple times itself, it’s actually a childhood friends to lovers story featuring age gap and a little servant/master sprinkled lightly on top. And all of that’s fine, but it was not actually what I was expecting going in and I think that colored my perception of the show and especially Lian and Kuea’s relationship.

I’m not a huge fan of childhood friends to lovers, so once I realized that I had been a little duped, I was always the tiniest bit disappointed I wasn’t getting the story I thought I was.

Cutie Pie did a lot of great things, I enjoyed how vocal the series was about marriage equality throughout, the production was great, the actors did a wonderful job.

There were a just a few things that tastewise I personally don’t like and the series used a lot of that, I think, in the end made it not my favorite.

I’m excited for Middleman and Bed Friend, I will be back for whatever Max and Nat do next, but in the end Cutie Pie definitely lost to Secret Crush On You for me.

#cutie pie the series #I liked a lot of it #but I think it’s going to become a yidiao cut rewatch for me #I had to skip so much sing for you in this show #I’m waiting for Taiwan to do an actual marriage of convenience or arranged marriage bl #I know they’d do a great job and they won’t have to deal with the whole #but you can’t get legally married though? #I never fully got Nuer’s deal and so I never really bought his ‘oh actually I like Syn instead’ move #it’s just a bunch of little nitpicking stuff that liked added up for me in the end #I would recommend it to others but it’s largely not my thing I think

Me writing animal crossing lore in my head while falling asleep: I am about to craft a narrative that is so convoluted

#random thoughts #animal crossing #okay so isabelle has been divorced once and is currently married to her high school sweetheart who she broke up with when he was drafted #her ex husband was abusive and she left him after she got pregnant because she was better at putting other people's wellbeing over her own #she reconnected with her ex sweetheart when her daughter was four years old #his name is ted he is a bear he had braces when he was younger and he's an absolute sweetheart #so while she's with ted she starts questioning her sexuality because she never really had the chance to explore it #since she grew up in a small town and married young due to a pregnancy scare #and ted's like 'hey do you wanna explore your sexuality?' but isabelle's reluctant #since her ex cheated on her a lot and she's afraid of becoming like him #but ted's a real experienced man and he's been in polyamorous relationships before so they start going to clubs together #so she can get comfy with the idea #(she's pansexual btw and she goes through this whole crisis about it because she's middle aged and married with a kid) #(so does it REALLY matter??? but it does it does a lot.) #so they go to clubs and isabelle starts flirting with women and getting comfy with it #and isabelle starts getting harrassed by this dude and she says she's here with her husband to try and get him to leave her alone #but ted's in the bathroom and the guy isn't backing off and GUESS WHO SWOOPS IN TO SAVE THE DAY #fucking TOM NOOK THAT'S WHO #tom nook also grew up in a small town but he got to explore his sexuality when he moved to the city in his early twenties #he's well-known in queer circles for having gone FUCKING CRAZY in his heyday. he was gay divorced before gay marriage was LEGALIZED okay. #he's also a drag queen who performs at the club ted and isabelle went to #so like imagine tom just like LOOMING over this creep in these tall-ass stiletto heels #like tom's intimidating okay. he's a big dude. #so that's how tom and isabelle met <3 also ted has like. the SMALLEST crush on tom. he'd never act on it tho #he's more than fine with polyamory when it's his partner practicing but he prefers to have a singular partner #he likes it when he knows isabelle is being taken care of <3 he's such a sweetheart #tom is VERY flattered by ted's like. small but obvious crush #isabelle's daughter is like. INFATUATED with tom btw #her name's tippy :]

[britneyshakespeare]

a couple of girls on the playground today were asking me if i was married, if i was ever going to get married, and one of them said “do you want to be an old cat lady?” and i replied “well i wouldn’t mind it,” completely forgetting that old cat lady is a mocking trope of single women after a certain age, and then she said “don’t you wanna be a bae?” and i was like oh yeah sure. i thought you meant would i like to have cats. yes i would.

#that was very aro of me #to the question 'are you going to get married' i always answer 'if/when i meet someone i want to marry' #ive said it before (in a tag rant im sure) that i do kind of envy the stability/commitment that the institution of marriage has. it's hard #to picture myself getting more and more in my adult years and having only myself to rely on. financially emotionally etc. #i would love to live with someone i love for the rest of my life and even legally marry them. i just dont know how/if that'd ever happen #those kids dont know what aromanticism is and im not in the business of explaining my deeper feelings/conflicts to them. lol #tales from diana #also that girl who said it said it somewhat as a joke and i dont blame her for. you know. making that comment. i know she likes me a lot #she has told me im pretty and she often asks if i have a boyfriend etc. im basically the only one she talks to. shes the grade 5 on thursday #im sure when i tell her im not seeing anyone she doesnt see it as something pathetic but i do make sure to stress that it's about the person #moreso than the status of being in a relationship. #at that age you don't know the difference very much #and this fifth grader has told me before that she has her first little boyfriend. (this is all stuff she's disclosed not that ive asked abt) #(but i will listen to of course if a child is bringing it up & wants to talk about their life w a trusted adult) #and she says theyve only like held hands and theyre mostly just friends. that was a relief to me. #shes also mentioned to me that another boy in her class asked her out and she said no (bc of the boyfriend) #and of course she's going into middle school next year. so. to her this is a very formative time to be thinking about herself in that sense #as a person who wants/pursues romance. which i THOUGHT i was when i was her age (though i never had a boyfriend or any male attention then) #i trust her i think she's very smart. but she's YOUNG y'know so it's not her fault she's got all these mixed messages from media and culture #these things are becoming more important in her life so i'm glad to be a representation of Being Cool & Older & Mature wo needing a bae #not that i think im making THAT big of an impact on her. but you know. i never knew a cool girl in her early 20s when i was 11 #who repeatedly told me nothing about her love life & only said no every time i asked if she had a partner. #i think had i seen that. i would've felt more ok w being perpetually single as a tween/teen lol. #or maybe not. a lot of my insecurity came from the fact that nobody ever explicitly asked me out etc. idk. whatever #miss diana is so cool. i'm gonna miss fifth grader though when she graduates. i only have one thursday left w her :''''''''(
