Amen. [24yo | They/Them | KhunBam] THIS IS NOT A SPOILER-FREE BLOG. I was a former chocoball turtle who has now transformed into a Dango turtle. In other words, I have been pulled back into the depths of ToG hell (actually, I never left, I was just hiding in a ditch somewhere then climbed back out).
I shared the black lives matter carrd with many many resources on it last week (if you missed it, you can find it here)
it has petitions to sign, places to donate to, resources to educate yourself, and more! please check it out if you haven’t already–it’s super informative and has so many ways for you to take action for free!
Someone has also generously made a twitter thread with more petitions to sign that haven’t reached their goals yet–please please take some time and go sign them!!
Additionally, here are 2 articles I found were good reads–please take some time to read them
1. This article: Confessions of of a Former Bastard Cop it’s totally worth the read and gives a perspective of someone who has been trained by the system–and shares their experience of how broken the system is.
2. This article: Dear White Friends, I See Right Through Your #BlackLivesMatter Posts again, super worth the read, really dives deep into the author’s personal experiences–raw and real. Read it!
Finally, let’s not forget the countless other issues going on:
Canada BLM
Australia BLM
Junk Terror Bill
Stand with Hong Kong
Help Palestine
Sign this petition to help Yemen, they are going through an epidemic, pandemic, famine, and so much more right now.
A reminder that without black folks, we would not have come so far with LGBTQ+ rights and pride. It’s thanks to so many queer black people that we are where we are today—and it’s up to us to keep fighting. Do your part! I intentionally made the links rainbow to show this 🏳️🌈 and also to celebrate pride month :)
Another friendly reminder that this will never stop–keep advocating for our black brothers and sisters, keep educating yourself, keep talking with your family, your friends, your relatives, about black lives matter and all the other issues going on.
It’s up to each of us to push for change–together, we can do it!
Please share this to spread awareness!
Also if I got anything wrong please let me know :) I am still learning as well

Hello @a-wild-julibean, I am your secret Santa and I decided to go for your Dating Show AU.
I'm sorry, though,--at first I wrote something entirely different, finished it, absolutely abhorred it, then completely rewrote a different fic under the prompt five days ago, so I only finished part 1/5. >_<
I hope chapter 1 is okay though, I will get out chapter 2 on the 27th. :)
Also, thank you to Blu, AJ, Magpie, and Ellie over at @tog-secret-santa for everything that ya'll do. ❤💙💜💗💖❤

Sup! I bring a short little Koonbaam fic, mostly just nonsense! Plus!! There is absolutely no angst involved!!
Summary: Koon tries teaching everyone what the difference between strategy and tactics is, but everyone isn’t really known to be smart. However, Baam seems to pick up on it just fine.
It’s coming to the point where I’m breaking now.
And all my thoughts have sunk below the surface now.
I don’t have the strength to fight.
No I don’t have the strength to fight.
You wake up slowly, and the room comes into focus. It’s a locked room, surrounded by 3 walls colored in a drab gray and a large window. On the window side, there’s a door with no handle, and a smaller door–a hatch for things to go through. Through the window, you can see what looks like a kitchen. There are tables and pots and pans and rack on racks of glasses.
You don’t know how long you’ve been here.
You just know you are.
The hatch opens, and you see a man at the window. He inserts a tray with a single clear glass in it, filled with a clear liquid.
It looks like water.
You haven’t had water for a few hours now, and you’re getting thirsty but this might be a trap.
“You’ll die of hydration if you don’t drink,” the man says.
He’s right. So you take the glass and tilt it back, tensing.
It tastes like nothing–like water.
The man nods. In approval? You don’t know. He leaves the kitchen, disappearing from view. On the table, through the window, you can see the glasses of liquid. There is an assortment, all various shapes and sizes and colors. Some look like soda, others like juice.
Clean panels requested by @aj-draws (ch 295, 296). AJ I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW THESE TWO HAVE BEEN THE MOST COMPLEX PANELS I’VE HAD TO CLEAN SO FAR AND THEY MADE ME CRY SO MUCH AND I WANTED TO GIVE UP FIFTY MILLION TIMES…..but I did it so please appreciate it, I beg you.

Summary: In the Tower, everyone knows not to go out past curfew. It’s not crime or disease that keeps them indoors–no, it’s ghosts. Ghosts wander everywhere at night, and it’s up to the Agencies to get rid of them. One day, Koon Aguero Agnis, the son of an agency owner, meets a boy new to their city, a boy named the Twenty-Fifth Baam. The two become fast friends and decide to form their own agency. A job goes awry one day, killing Baam, and suddenly it’s up to Koon to try and move on. However, despite his skills at ghost hunting, there’s perhaps one type of ghost that Koon simply cannot handle: the ghost of his old love. A Lockwood & Co AU.
The Proposal
Naruto: Shikatema
Rating: T
Summary: Shikamaru’s just a lazy guy working as a secretary for the scariest lawyer out there. Her name’s Temari and she’s the most troublesome woman he knows, but he has no choice but to put up with her, not unless he wants to be fired. However, something unexpected happens and Shikamaru finds himself somehow engaged to the last person he ever expected. Suddenly, his world just became a whole lot more troublesome.
Based on the movie of the same name.
The Shadow Behind the Light
Naruto: Shikatema
Rating: T
Summary: Naruto and Sasuke are close friends who help each other out and always have each other’s backs during the tumultuous time of the Zetsu Wars. Both are Jedi who were predicted to be the Chosen One, but there can only be one, right? Well, time is running out for everyone as the organization known as the Akatsuki launch attack after attack, and to add onto that, the Sith return and things get more than a little complicated. Sasuke is tempted by the Dark Side, and it’s up to Naruto (as usual) to chase after him and bring him back. Add in a bold and kinda flirty bounty hunter Shikamaru and an unamused ambassador/princess Temari plus Prince Gaara who probably has a thing for the blond Jedi who he’s come to befriend and is completely off-limits, and you get this random story of mine.
Okay originally I was going to say how this showed the limitations of the guide, but since the next chapter shows that Emily is creating entirely new paths that distort the original paths that guides rely on...this still shows the limitation of the guide. xD They may be ‘cheat codes’ but only to the extent that the tower allows them to be. Guides are not omniscient and that’s what makes Emily incredibly powerful--she can function outside of the tower’s cheat codes and rewrite the programming.
I wonder what the difference is between Pockets vs Cellular Texting vs Messaging-Through-Emily. It seems like there’s an advantage to using Emily?
Chapter 219
So Irregulars are similar to Emily in a way that they can go against the rules of the tower. And I think what they’re trying to do with Emily is to give her the blank slate of an Irregular but the ‘cheating ability’ of a guide. Cuz being an Irregular means nothing if you don’t know how to use your potential, so I guess one way to bypass that is...combining the abilities of a silver dwarf and red witch into one.
Chapter 220
Wait what hold up hold up I’m...I thought the Thorn was a fragment of the administrator, so the power is actually of the administrator’s (well, once ignitied via a soul). Then again, it probably would make more sense for the Thorn to have Enryu’s power instead because I don’t think the Thorn would be considered ‘The Thorn to Kill the King’ if its power belonged to an administrator that could be killed by an Irregular. xD
*Cue Bam using the thorn for more than ten minutes and subsequently losing control of himself OWO\*
Oh my god Daniel’s death and the whole Roen incident was 200 fkkn years ago OTL
Oh so is this the first time these two have seen each other in person?
Aka, Moontari, and Ran all having issues dealing damage to Mr. Mirotic then here comes Beta to the rescue. xD Ahhhh nice. So when Daniel said in prior chapters to Cassano “I’m sure that arms of yours can deal damage to the guardian”, it was true. And Cassano is supposedly more powerful than Beta in his current ‘completed’ state.
Chapter 221
FINALLY. AN EXPLANATION. He was supposed to be an ‘illusion’ then suddenly, after taking one hit after the other, he becomes ‘real’, what even. OTL Later, Miseng calls this state ‘The realization of an illusion” and ngl, that sounds more like of a title of a fashion style rather than a battle mode. In reality, apparently Mirotic dude is just some sort of hologram and what they’re fighting is the shinsu that’s used to ‘imitate’ the guardian’s powers in real time.
I feel like this is the first time we got to see a more in-depth visualization of what an observer does. We already know what a lighthouse does, we’ve seen it time and time again, but not really for an observer. It’s literally able to analyze the power source of Mirotic Guardian, observers are kick-arse. Very fitting for Miseng (and Shibisu too but MISEEENG~) UWU
Miseng floating on her observer. TT__TT That is all.
Ran just wants to see his brother but he’d rather shoot one of his own lightning spears through his gut than admit it.
Chapter 222
Ah yes. Absolutely nothing can go wrong with this. Yep.
Ran I fkkn swear omg xD **Wheeze** Both Dan and Arkraptor have this thing of seeing through Ran’s peak 90% tsun to somehow see his 10% dere, with Dan having the guts to mention it and Arkraptor having the guts to call Ran out on it. This does make me think of Novick though and I miss him. >_< Along with his interactions with Ran ofc.
SIU will really just never let any of his characters have a normal, calm reunion huh. Rachel and Bam reunited during a bloody crown game. Team khunbamrak reunited in the middle of the workshop battle and had to escape a burning pit of lava like right afterwards. And then this one. It’s a recurring theme and will continue to be a recurring theme OTL
I know that Bam is THE bane of Rachel’s existence, but I feel like Khun has worked very very hard to come second or even equal to Bam’s level of bane-ness in her life--and such hard work cannot go unacknowledged.
Chapter 223
This explanation sounded complicated at first, and it is, but I realized that this is very similar to being able to get to the restaurant on the 2nd floor of the space needle in seattle. There are two elevators, one is ‘fake’ and just leads to the restaurant. From the restaurant however, there is this special route you can take via the stairs to get to the top. Well, according to rumor anyways.
So was that place where Daniel got his necromancer powers??? He ‘died’ then came back to life, so the shinsu translated this into necromancy or something....I feel like I’m forgetting things, but yeah, it’s an interesting thought.
Wangnan wants to be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch Cassano is his real test and to train him [bybringinghimbacktohoryangandgivebackthedevilinhisarm] is his cause. // To be a master--a shinsu-bomb master--he will be writing a brand new chapter UWU
Wait...Wangnan said that he made a shinsu bomb especially for Cassano...so he somehow learned what type of...mixture, I guess? Is best to cause damage to Cassano’s arm. But how did he test that? Why was he so sure that it would be enough to harm Cassano?
Bam wants to ‘clear the air’ with Rachel while sprinting up the stairs at foreboding speed, Khun wants to have a ‘chat’ with Rachel while subtly wording it as an interrogation, and this is probably no. 1 on worst reunion ever.
