who’s the cuddler: Both of them. Good luck prying them from each other they are literally cuddling whenever they’re together and not fricking.
who makes the bed: Dal tries but it’s always a mess, so Vel does it most of the time. I say most of the time because sometimes they just don’t.
who wakes up first: Dal. He either doesn’t sleep at all or sleeps for days, but if that’s the case I’d say Vel, he’s on a very sharp schedule more often than not with the orphaning job.
who has the weird taste in music: Neither do, they both have pretty darn good tastes in music.
who is more protective: For the sheer strength bit I would say Vel, but they’re both equal in the actual protective factor.
who sings in the shower: Vel, this has been scientifically proven!
who cries during movies: Both of them probably, I can see more Vel consoling Dal about it tho.
who spends the most while out shopping: Vel? Dal doesn’t usually shop at all.
who kisses more roughly: Oh man it really depends on the mood and how the other is feeling. I’d say they’re pretty even on that.
who is more dominate: Personality-Equal, Bedroom-Vel, don’t even play.
my rating of the ship from 1-10: All the stars and all the numbers in the universe OTP 4lyfe
Mood Lighting
who’s the cuddler: Once again, both of them, they would try to out cuddle each other then just end up a cuddly mess anyway.
who makes the bed: Ab, he always has to keep his his cloud in tip top position because it would be a crumb filled, mess filled cloud if he did not.
who wakes up first: Com, their sleeping schedule makes it so either way. Ab will sleep in all the time if he can like dang son WAKE UP.
who has the weird taste in music: Both of them have the same taste in music, and they’re both total nerds, so both of them obviously pff
who is more protective: Ab seems like it at face value, but I think Com is just as much as well.
who sings in the shower: Both of them, and both of them like to listen to each other sing, even when they’re in together, and singing together.
who cries during movies: Both of them again because they are sappy nerds. Ab would a lot more though because he is a wimpy marshmallow.
who spends the most while out shopping: Depends on who’s shopping. But probably Ab because he buys a lot for himself, then a lot more for Com.
who kisses more roughly: Ab tries. Oh my god do he try.
who is more dominate: But they’re both painfully subs. Ab is as gentle as can be, and Com is more kinky than Ab can do sometimes ;w;
my rating of the ship from 1-10: 10 stars and many more the absolutely adorable nerds
Special Delivery
who’s the cuddler: Hau is a huge cuddly cat, and I’m sure Il doesn’t mind that at all.
who makes the bed: Despite being a smelly trucker Hau likes to keep things well organized as much as he can. Idk how Il goes about cleaning up.
who wakes up first: I think that Il works on a biking schedule around the neighborhood, so he’s consistent. Hau can drive across the country and has to for his job at all hours, so I’d have to go with him.
who has the weird taste in music: Hau. He listens to some popular stuff, but 90% of it is obscure indie stuff like why Hau. Why.
who is more protective: Hau is the kind to glare someone down in the background before going up and punching, while Il is 100% ready to fight someone. I’d say they’re pretty equal, Il’s just more vocal about it.
who sings in the shower: That’s actually a good question. Hmm…Probably Hau occasionally.
who cries during movies: Hau. Hau is a big dumb baby. I can see Il crying sometimes, but not as much as Hau.
who spends the most while out shopping: They both spend so much time delivering I’m not sure how much they actually shop for things outside of the necessities (Food, clothes, blankets, etc.). So…idk?
who kisses more roughly: Il, he’s not afraid to. Hau is just afraid he’ll hurt Il because srsly, he’s tall AF.
who is more dominate: Hau has it in him, oh boy does he have it in him, but he’s once again afraid of hurting Il, so he holds back and lets Il tell him what he wants to do, and how.
my rating of the ship from 1-10: 10 just for the original ship name omfg, and many more for the actual ship.
Desire for Knowledge
who’s the cuddler: Kan, because Con can be a huge tease. Also I see him being one that gives raspberries when cuddling.
who makes the bed: Kan more often than not probably, she’s pretty meticulous about that kind of thing actually.
who wakes up first: Con, being the captain and assistant when dealing with mobs isn’t easy, and he’s got work to do for both at the same time.
who has the weird taste in music: Neither, they’re both pretty classical when it comes to music.
who is more protective: Con could be because of the way Kan goes about doing her job and the dangers it poses. Kan is as well when he does his job, but Con especially.
who sings in the shower: Kan does a lot, but I do wonder if Con would sing in the shower, hmm.
who cries during movies: Kan tears up a little bit, idk about Con.
who spends the most while out shopping: Kan, gotta keep up with the sexy style and just being fabulous.
who kisses more roughly: Con more likely? Kan is possible but mostly when they’re feeling especially heated.
who is more dominate: Con mostly, though Kan does have the Dominatrix streak the rest of the Sargens have.
my rating of the ship from 1-10: May this ship sail on a wave of millions
For SCIENCE
who’s the cuddler: Sil, the teeny fluffy bab wants so many cuddles, but he knows Sci has to work
who makes the bed: Sil, he’s got to keep his room clean, he told Sir he would.
who wakes up first: Sil. He tries his hardest to sleep in, but his nightmares keep waking him up.
who has the weird taste in music: I’m going to go with Sci on this one, as Sil hardly knows about any music, actually
who is more protective: Sci, ain’t no one touching his berd if he can help it. He will punch someone out.
who sings in the shower: Pffff Sci…
who cries during movies: Sil, because he gets really invested in plots and characters and he gets really emotional, Sci has to hug the teeny berd after the Bambi scene I can feel it now.
who spends the most while out shopping: Sil, mostly because he’s fascinated by all the things and he wants to see what everything does. Thank god he has a job now.
who kisses more roughly: Sci, mostly because Sil initiates it that way or asks for it
who is more dominate: Sci. Definitely Sci. Maybe one day Sil will top, but today is not that day.
my rating of the ship from 1-10: 1 billion, these are more nerds I can’t handle
Madness Returns (Sane/How they are now)
who’s the cuddler: I think in either way Nes was the cuddle initiator. He’s just a really cuddly bun who wants to snuggle up to his mate.
who makes the bed: Nes was really precise about making his bed, and he still is…it’s just different, with a lot more feathers everywhere from him trying to free them. Lelica probably makes the beds now.
who wakes up first: Lelica the bab, her nightmares wake her up, and her visions make it hard to sleep. There is no winning. Before though it was Nes. He was always calculating something. And Lelica as well. They probably pulled all nighters and fell asleep together.
who has the weird taste in music: Both of them. Though Nes listens to some way out there stuff sometimes.
who is more protective: Nes stabbed someone because they accidentally ran into Lelica and he didn’t hear them say sorry. And he gave his sanity so she could be saved even relatively, so there’s that. But Lelica also looks after him and makes sure nobody hurts him, or that he doesn’t hurt himself.
who sings in the shower: Nes used to. He used to have a wonderful singing voice actually, as silly as it seems now that he sounds like a crow when he sings (no offense Com). I am unsre about Lelica
who cries during movies: Nes didn’t, but now he does. Especially when the love interest/friend dies or gets hurt for some reason, he gets really inconsolable…. Once again I don’t know about Lelica, I feel like she would’ve at least a few times.
who spends the most while out shopping: Lelica has to stop Nes now from buying every shiny thing in sight, or every ridiculous thing he swears is going to help them out (spoons)
who kisses more roughly: I feel like every time they kissed it would be somewhat aggressive but passionate because that’s just
who is more dominate: Lelica could if she’d just give the word, Nes would do almost anything. And she is now regardless, so yeah!
my rating of the ship from 1-10: 10 and beyond, like, if you added all the values of a card deck together, still not even close.
Time to Kill
who’s the cuddler: Chem is still coming round to the feeling of cuddling whenever, but he’ll try to initiate a lot.
who makes the bed: Ucci, she probably gets frustrated because Chem leaves it a mess all the time.
who wakes up first: Both of them. Their dreams and worries keep the up/wake them up and they just try to care for each other
who has the weird taste in music: Chem. He’s jsut a super nerd.
who is more protective: Chem. He can’t explain why though. He always seems a bit scared that someone’s going to take her away.
who sings in the shower: I would love if it was Ucci. Maybe singing old hymns from when she worked the temple or something I dont even know.
who cries during movies: Chem will try not to. He is a big berd and they do not cry at movies!
who spends the most while out shopping: Both of them. Actually, neither of them. They take whatever they can get. They murdered someone and got a wine cellar out of it!
who kisses more roughly: Chem. Those aggressions he has just happen sometimes.
who is more dominate: Let’s not kid ourselves here. Ucci totally is. No question about it.
my rating of the ship from 1-10: The number of wine bottles they’ll go through before the die plus what’s left in the cellar!
I have developed an interest for economy, the stock market, and politics. Something growing up I never thought I would be interested in, but I'm interested enough to pursue a new bachelor's....even though I haven't finish my first masters yet.
The Insightful Raving of Mephisto Pheles (Blue Exorcist)
If there is one character that is extremely hard to read and whose mindset continues to question his peers, it's none other than Mephisto Pheles from Blue Exorcist. In the beginning of Chapter 44, the flamboyant demon decides to lecture readers about what makes human beings go. He talks about the three main desires of human beings: material desire, sexual desire, and more importantly, the desire of knowledge. Mephisto's words highlight a time where information has become even more key to succeed.
The desire for knowledge is what keeps everyone alive. What do we need to make money? How do we hunt for food? Where do we find ideas for growth? What do we need to do in order to be independent? It is a natural feeling that we all have. Knowledge does equal power. The more you know, the more you have an advantage.
Mephisto takes a peek at Yukio Okumura's desires to understand his life. The boy just went through a lot during the big battle against the Impure King detailed in Volumes 6-9. He wants to know Mephisto's intentions and why he is interested in him and his brother, Rin Okumura, in the first place. Mephisto teases Yukio's behavior around Shiemi Moriyama during a tutoring session and jokes about opposite-sex interactions being used to relieve stress. He also notices that Yukio seems to be looking at his dilemma as nothing too complicated.
Mephisto's rant poses two interesting points: how much knowledge is too much and what will one do once they find what they were looking for. One can argue that the desire for knowledge can be the vice of curiosity. What happens when your curiosity is sated? Will you become bored and seek more answers to other questions? Will that knowledge ruin your life? Such questions need to be addressed.
We live in a world where information is everywhere and easily accessible. What happens when we decide to learn everything? Can we apply it to our daily lives? Maybe that's the most important thing that Mephisto is trying to point out. We should gain knowledge to mostly fulfill our needs, not our wants. Our society today focuses way too much with wants and is blurring the lines between what is important versus what isn't. Mephisto crudely remarks that people who want to know more than they need to are pathetic.
Yes, knowledge is power, but if there's one thing that makes it powerful - it's to make sure you know your limits.
