It's Magical | K-9 | Ren, Oboro, Fujimaru, Kagari | 100 words | rated T
Spoilers for chapter 38

Summary: Kagari makes a comment that leads to a realisation.

Read it on Dreamwidth or on AO3.

Had some black tea with cinnamon and cloves and then went out to pick up a six pack of beer because I'm having a friend come over tonight for pizza and popcorn and movies. I'm really looking forward to it.
I finally got so fed up with these fucking phone scammers that I told one of them they were all full of shit and he called me a "bloody whore bitch" and I just laughed and hung up on him. I'm not the fucking criminal here, they are and I have no idea why they think we're stupid enough to fall for those scams. They all seem to have the same Indian accent and I can't help wondering what the fuck is going on in India that there seem to be so many of them there.

Next and last for me: Dum Dum Dugan Agent Carter Season 1:

I'm not brave or savvy enough anymore to wade in other socmed platforms, but thankfully I have friends who are... and found K-9 COSPLAY!!! :D :D They look SO COOL!!!!!

This is Oboro (CN: blood) by suigei_cos. It feels kind of crazy to see the blood actually red haha since the manga is all black and white. When we get an anime, which we totally will for sure yes, I'm so curious to see what kind of shade they go with when animating his power.

Then more Oboro (CN: still blood!) also by suigei_cos. With fire and smoke effects!!! Looking SO COOL!!! 😍

Oboro on a date with Ren or so Oboro says XD Also by suigei_cos.

And my beloved Ren solo by 323runaruna aaaah looking seriously incredible. SO COOL! COSPLAYERS ARE SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍

I shall go and lie down for a while now.

One of the things I want to work on this year is unmasking. In general, but especially with my family. This tumblr post has some ways to start.

I thought I was starting today, actually, but while I expressed my emotions honestly, my family are not emotionally safe for me to be that vulnerable around, which is why I have been masking around them in the first place... today was hard because I'm grappling with the fact that these people who claim to love me and have affection for me, want me to stay quiet when someone in the family hurts me. They'll make excuses for the person who hurt me because they think it's okay for me to be hurt. When I love someone, I don't want them hurt. So I don't believe this is love, I don't understand this so-called familial love. Seems cultish to me.

It's in moments of realisation like these, when I brush against my family and leave with a bleeding gash, that I feel lonely despite having met friends very recently.

Unmasking has to go hand in hand with protecting myself and setting strong boundaries. Being 'radically visible' when it's not safe for you to be really seen by these people? Needs more thought.

This is giving me more ideas for why I am so parasocially fascinated by Yunho, the idol who does not want to be seen to feel safe. Maybe he reminds me of what I do on a daily basis to feel safe around my family. He's very performative and I don't have the energy for that, so I'm very avoidant.

I wonder if Yunho is lonely. Whether he ever wants to be honest and vulnerable. Maybe safety comes first for him.

Icons of my faves! — Vincent, Cloud (FFVII) | Prompto, Noctis (FFXV) | Sea Salt Trio (KH)

FFVII fic recs! — specifically looking for anything Gen (about Cloud or Vincent is a bonus), Aerith/Tifa, or Sephiroth/Genesis focused. I mostly read Cloud ships so any recs will most likely be new to me :)

Hikaru no Go vol. 1-23 (Yumi Hotta/Takeshi Obata) - I mentioned HikaGo last month as my actual advent countdown, even though I don't think I was quite on schedule... Anyway, I still really like it even though it should have ended with vol. 17. I should really write a few little bits of Hikaru/Akira.

Whistle! vol. 1-24 (Daisuke Higuchi) - a re-read from a very long time ago and while I still really liked the first half, the second half just didn't carry the weight and bogged down. Whistle! is about soccer, and starts off with a junior high team but the stakes just keep getting higher and higher and the end is really meh. I suspect there was some editorial meddling or something? I think I'll let this go...

Uta~Kata - a rewatch, still lovely, but it's not as strong as some series about magical adolescence.

Astro Boy vol. 1 - a more recent Astro Boy anime that was fun enough but I can't imagine hunting down the rest. I think my favorite 'modern' Astro Boy is the CG movie.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Overloaded & Decepticon Island) - this was pretty good story-wise but the designs/animation are kind of ugly. I think this is only the second RID disc I've ever found and yeah, I'd watch more but ??? (Same that iirc there's no collections of Rescue Bots, which sucks because Rescue Bots is cute.)

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues - pretty good and fairly funny but I also feel like attempting to replicate the sheer everything of Spinal Tap is a pretty impossible task. However, the cameos are amazing and holy shit does Elton John still have a strong voice.

Don't Rub Yourself Against My Ass!! (Sakira) - about the most meh BL manga I picked up like a decade ago and then forgot about. It can also go. The main story is about an ex-cop and it's really explicit but it's just not my cuppa.

Gundam Wing & Endless Waltz - for Christmas, of course. I feel like my mental timeline of Gundam Wing was weirdly off; some things happened way before I thought they should, some far later. Time to finally read the new manga...
