TOMO KATSUMURA / you're too complicated, we should separate it. you're just confiscating, you're exasperating. think I'll leave it all behind, save this bleeding heart of mine.

OKAY SO….i’ve decided i’ll put tomo on my multi as a test run. this probably won’t make sense to anybody else but, basically, you can consider this blog ON FULL HIATUS for the next, let’s say, two weeks? and, in the meantime, i will be writing tomo on my multi. at the end of those two weeks, i will come back here and make a clear decision about what i want to do with this blog, whether that means keeping tomo as a solo muse or ditching this blog in favour of focusing on my multi! i don’t believe i actually owe any replies on this blog at the moment so it probably won’t affect my drafts but, if you do reply to a thread with me in the next two weeks, i’ll probably continue it on my multi (granted we’re mutuals over there; if we’re not, i’ll just wait and see what happens bc i don’t want to cross any boundaries).
if you’re interested in following me on my multi, it’s @cosmicloved.

“ what happened to crazy frog… ? ” he is visibly intrigued by news of the nostalgic little creature, whose existence he’d all but forgotten about until now — but his tone holds muted concern, too. what cursed information was tomo about to drop on him ? ( he was probably going to regret asking this. ) but speaking of cursed entities — GUMMY. “ and I’m not judging Gummy for his looks — I’m judging his energy. his vibes. ” Gummy simply emanates a threatening aura. “ why do you think Chicken attacks him all the time? Chicken agrees with me. maybe you’re not as sensitive to this stuff as me and Chicken, ” he suggests, allying himself to the dog. ( or, more likely, it has nothing to do with ESP, and tida’s just irrationally mistrusting of long furbies. admittedly, he does feel a little guilty for his harsh words now. ) “ sorry… it’s probably not Gummy; it’s me. I was never a furby kid . . . don’t they remind you of the chuck e. cheese robots ? I always knew those things were evil — way before the pizza game called it. ”
“ Crazy frog isn’t a frog either. Literally, he’s just some kinda creature. A horrible be-dicked creature. ” He speaks gravely. It’s surprising, isn’t it? Really surprising. Maybe not quite as lifechanging as Tida might have been hoping, judging by the look on his face, but that’s not a problem. Because Tomo isn’t quite finished. “ Kermit wasn’t a frog to begin with either. He was just some weird lizard. Took ‘em like a decade and a half to say ‘actually, he’s Kermit the Frog now’. Can you imagine that, living in an era where he was just Kermit the uhhhhh, whatever? Fucked up. ” But nothing was more fucked up than Tida’s apparent vendetta against the sweet, innocent and deranged Gummy. Tomo sucks his teeth and swallows, trying not to entertain the idea of Gummy being cursed or possessed or whatever else Tida was suggesting. There isn’t much that immediately bothers Tomo but, for some reason, the idea of getting haunted has always unsettled him. “ I think I went to Chuck E. Cheese, like, one time so maybe I just don’t have that emotional baggage besides thinking the robots were freaky. After seeing how bad some people wanna fuck those video game bears though, I feel like I’ve learned more about people. Mankind. It really does take all sorts. ”
also tomo's tamagotchi collection is funny bc i've done far too much reading up and research on the tamagotchi collection scene (i won't claim it was extensive research though, i'm not an expert), only for it to have come up about 5 times. not that it's a problem bc it's not really much of a talking point for an rp thread but every time it DOES come up, i have to verify everything i say in case i embarrass myself by spreading tamagotchi misinfo. anyway tomo owns a lot of tamagotchi. this is actually pretty private information bc his personal nightmare is fans discovering it and sending him random tamagotchi. like it's a nice gesture but he doesn't WANT that! he likes finding them himself. it's half the fun!
i feel like tomo's place probably started off as a sleek minimalist hellscape bc he's a rich person who bought a big oversized apartment (he specifically does not want to own a house of any size, he likes being super high up in the middle of a city) but tomo himself hates the minimalist 'luxury' look so his interior decoration tastes are a lot more chaotic. it probably makes for a weird contrast. this is about his LA apartment btw. i haven't really spoken about his place in tokyo but it's probably a little smaller and less flashy/less chaotic bc he mostly uses it for work.

“ Not too long, I hope! I wouldn’t wanna piss you off, you’re the only person I trust with this shit. ” Tomo flashes her a sincere, sympathetic grin and hands her one of the drinks he’d been holding. He’d been running late for other more legitimate reasons but the decision to make a Starbucks stop hadn’t exactly helped. Fortunately, he remembered Eunji’s drink order from previous trips and made sure to buy it for her as an apology for the wait. After all, it wasn’t her fault he needed caffeine in his system if he had any hopes of paying even the slimmest amount of attention.
Eunji’s thing is dresses. That’s what she’s known for. Maybe, that’s what she’s best at. (Tomo doesn’t know, he’s never bothered to ask.) But Tomo likes her taste in general, her style and her signatures. Not for dresses, mind you, but for other things. He’s got an event coming up soon, an award show or a film festival or something else. He’ll make himself remember when the time comes but, until then, all these things start to sort of blend together. It’s nice to look back on the photos, though. If the outfit’s nice enough, Tomo can swipe through galleries on shitty news sites and Twitter fan accounts and think to himself, I’m the hottest bitch stuck wandering around this cinema parking lot.
He flops down on the seat across from her, taking a careless and unmeasured sip of ice cold coffee. It doesn’t matter much to him that it’s the middle of January. His other hand is free, the hastily painted nail of one finger drumming against the surface of the table, a dull tap-tap against the thin varnish veneer. Lacquer meets lacquer. “ Soooo, what have you got for me? ”
cooooool. sessionbox is locking me out bc it’s decided i’m using it for commercial purposes (i’m not; i literally have THREE tumblr accounts saved into it and NOTHING else) which is very annoying bc it means, if i want to log into any of my accounts that aren’t this one or my multi (which is saved onto another chrome profile), i’m going to have make a bunch of chrome profiles -- i don’t want to do this, i don’t need that many windows open -- or open up an igcognito window and sit through tumblr force refreshing itself endlessly through the privacy agreement while i sit with my adblock paused, desperately trying to click the agree button quick enough for it to stop, all just to log into a 3rd rp blog or my coding/commission sideblogs.
i also don’t know WHY sessionbox thinks i’m using it for commercial purposes. the closest thing to that i could think of is that i use it to log into my commissions account and i was logged into it like an hour ago to make a post but...i don’t think me using the work commissions flagged anything up all of a sudden. bc i doubt that’s how the extension even WORKS. i certainly HOPE the extension isn’t reading posts to flag things up. but also my commissions barely count as commercial purposes. this isn’t a business. i don’t make very much of off themes.
????????????????????????????????????????? tumblr doesn’t work and neither does sessionbox. thank u.
“ ‘the little frog man’ ? ” he ignores every other question in favor of this phrase ( simply doesn’t care about the specifics of the film, not enough to differentiate between jedi’s and sith’s ; he only stayed for lightsaber fights and the weird creatures. for example, the little old frog man. ) “ his name’s yoda. as in ‘baby yoda’ ? THE baby yoda ? i thought if anything, you’d know about that … everywhere you looked last year, there was a baby yoda plush. you walk into a store; baby yoda on a shelf. you walk past a playground; baby yoda’s sitting there. you turn any corner— BABY YODA. ” the craze was real. and didn’t tomo love his plushies… ? and weird creatures ? “ how’s gummy, by the way? still stealing the soul of everyone who looks him in the eye ? ”
“ He’s not a frog? What the fuck? First Crazy Frog and now this? ” He takes a in a deep breath, a rare moment of solemn silence as he presses two fingers against his forehead and frowns. But he’s quick to get over it, to shake it off and move on! Good thing he’s not like this when it comes to the real problems in his life --- shit, never mind. That’s exactly how he is. “ I don’t really pay attention to that stuff. Kinda boring. I think my mom sent me a few gifs of it but I ignored ‘cause she only does that when she’s trying to guilt me about shit. ” A shrug, utterly nonchalant. At the mention of Gummy, however, his expression changes. He smiles, as if to himself, and lets out a wistful sigh. “ Gummy, huh? It’s been a while. He’s still in a cupboard somewhere. For his own protection. I’m pretty sure Chicken would tear him to shreds if I took him out. I think it’s very unbecoming of you to judge people for how they look. ”
OPEN STARTER (open to all mutuals)
CONTEXT: you’re at some event (a premiere? an awards show? something else?), just doing your job in peace (whatever that is) and popular young actor & renowned disaster tomo katsumura is stood outside your dressing room looking like someone’s just thrown him out into the world without a map, wyd??????
“ 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎, 𝐈 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 I’m in, uh…the wrong place. ” The hallways in these places, he swears, are always needlessly complicated. Granted, the issue is less that the corridors resemble mazes and more that Tomo is very, very good at not looking where he’s going but he maintains that nobody should be capable of getting lost indoors. It just doesn’t make sense! These event halls are always like this, white walls upon white walls. Would it kill them to spice things up a little? He’s hovering by the door, evidently having found himself outside a dressing room that is not his own, surrounded by other doors to other dressing rooms that are no more related to him than this one and, most significantly, he’s feeling like a prat. “ Can I borrow your phone? I left mine somewhere and I feel like my makeup-artist might wanna kill me at this rate. ”
