- Aggretsuko: Manumaru.

Canon: Between the finale of season 1 and the Christmas special.

The pallas cat took another deep breath. He was reaching to loose up his tie, then realized he was not wearing one. Wow, when was the last time he had seen his friend outside of the office?

Either way he repeated: "She dumped you."

Retasuke looked back at him with that stare that so many would probably think empty. Manumaru knew better, though. "She said she wanted to break up."

"And you're like whatever about it."

"I don't mean to dissapoint you."

...huh.

The other thing is... Manumaru knows that's not sarcasm. Or clueleness, not really... it's something sincere.

He looked around at the aparment, at the many, many plants so lovingly cared for.

It was a stereotype but what if--

Hell, he might as well say it: "Retasuke."

"What?"

"Do you... like girls or boys?"

"I don't know. I know I'm supposed to want to... date and stuff but..."

"But you don't really want to."

Never had he really seen Retasuke actually --sad.

"I'm sorry," he says.

Than that IS it.

Manumaru claps his surprised friend in the shoulder --draws him close.

And the suprise quickly gives way to that subtle happiness that, Manumaru finally understands, has always been in Retasuke when they actually hang out together.

"NO, man! Don't be sorry! I finally get it, I think --it's okay! I kept pushing you to date because I thought that would make you happy. From now on I'll pay more attention to what you actually want, I promise."

"She said that, too..." And --well, well, well. Who knew this red panda actually could smile? "So from now on I'll be mindful of what you want, too."

Hi! I hope this message gets through. I just wanted to say I've drawn a lot of comfort from your blog in the past few weeks and I wanted to thank you for what you do. Telling facists and terfs to fuck themselves, fostering a sense of community to your followers, educating people on all the subjects you do, all of it. Thanks for being awesome.

Awwww <3 

I’m glad to know you enjoy whatever the hell it is I do here

[delcat177]

Hey Del. I see the anon trolls are out in force today, being gross and horrible. I'm glad to see you're not letting them get to you! Just wanted to send you something telling you think you're pretty great and I hope when they get tired you have a very pleasant day, and that you're actually having as much fun making fun of their nonsense (and it is nonsense) as it looks like you're having.

You’re rad, Meph, thanks for taking the time out {8> I hope you’re having a great one, and that this selection of shots brings you joy!

I really am having a great time, I don’t think they realized I have been cultivating this reaction shot folder like a French vineyard since 2007. There are over 700 pics in here and at least a dozen of ‘em are just marked “wildcard”. Like this one!

Have a good day, presh bean <3

On the mansplaining thing, I hope I didn't contribute to that but if I did I'm very sorry. I hope you have a nice rest of your evening.

Oh no not you darling, gosh no. Everyone on the post was quite lovely. It was the douchecanoes who came into my inbox going “acTUALLY this is a bad build and this is why” and then proceeded to say everything completely wrong, to the point where I was able to use this in the replies:

[chaz-targrin-gw2]

🌳: Chaz!

[Chaz]: The trees in Ascalon are excellent for taking naps under.

[daily-incineroar]
