!!!!! I didn't expect anyone but Valen to play, thank you so much for this!!
2. If you had to team up with one sorcerer for a mission, who would you choose?
My heart wants to say Megumi, because that's my boy, but honestly? Todo. He and I would have SO MUCH FUN.
7. What storyline would you tell your friend to get them into JJK?
Probably the Hidden Inventory arc, since it set so much up for what happens later, and it's something of a prequel so it's fairly spoiler-free. Either that or JJK:0, since it's fairly isolated but still action packed and fun.
12. If you could change one event in JJK, what would it be?
I would change that Yuuji's and Megumi's eyes come back. Let my boys be scarred and broken, please.
17. Match your favorite JJK character with a song.
This is difficult. Let's say Megumi is my favorite, and I'd match him with Pretty Boy by the Neighbourhood
hi 🫶 I hope you're doing ok and wanted to let you know I think about zayn and nathan a couple times a month. thank you for them. 🩵
Nathan was there, at his locker, too busy minding his own fucking business to notice Zayn until he slammed into the next locker over.
“Hey,” Zayn said with a sweep of his black waves. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever.”
Nathan finished grabbing his books and slammed his locker shut. “That’s because you haven’t.”
Nathan watched from his peripheral as Zayn reacted. His teeth-white grin fell, his eyes wide, momentarily frozen in place. It must have been because of Nathan’s sheer audacity.
Nevertheless, Zayn recovered quickly. “I was thinking—“
“How dangerous.”
Zayn ignored him. “We never went on that second date, did we?”
When conversing with Zayn, Nathan knew that it was absolutely imperative to maintain control. And while he probably inly succeeded eighty percent of the time, Nathan knew full well what could happen if he let that twenty percent start taking over.
Zayn was a hurricane. With a smile as powerful as tropical winds and a gaze that made you feel you were standing in the eye of the storm, he was a force to be reckoned with.
More than that? Zayn knew this. He knew, and he still made sure to play it up for any onlookers who were stranded in the middle of his storm. He played to his strengths, was damn good at it, and had come to expect a certain kind of fawning whenever he stood up and smiled.
That was why feigned indifference was Nathan’s only defense.
But in reality, he’d heard the rumors.
Did Zayn actually have an eight pack? (Nathan could confirm from the locker rooms after practice: yes).
Did Zayn actually make half the school question their sexuality? (As a well-established gay man, Nathan wouldn’t be surprised.)
Was Zayn’s hair as soft as it looked?
His mind tugged Nathan down as he drowned in the memory of their first date. A month ago, sneaking off campus, getting pizza to-go and polishing the whole pie off on the lawn behind the venue. The smell of grease and cheese wafting between them until it wasn’t, until Nathan gave in for only the second time and felt Zayn’s delicate skin, the definition of muscles and tendons in his arms, a race of goosebumps as Nathan tugged on his lip and confirmed, yes, his hair was as soft as it looked.
Nathan gasped for air as his mind broke through the water.
The first mistake, really, had been agreeing to go on a date with Zayn in the first place.
Because now that Nathan had, he knew what he was missing.
And.
Fuck.
Nathan wanted it.
But he couldn’t. Not like this.
Nathan couldn’t go down this road again, not now. He had too much to focus on. Too much to lose distraction from some—some guy—
Zayn looked down at him, a hand on his hip and confidence coming off him like a tsunami.
popping into your inbox to say that I love your writing. I fell in love with tripping over air last year, and i just binged a bunch of your other fics. you make magic with side characters. Jesse and Eugene! ZAYN AND NATHAN!! it can be hard sometimes, writing for a small, quiet fandom, so thank you thank you for your stories. 🩵
Woah!!!! Thank you so much 💖 I appreciate it more than you could know.
I think one of my favorite things about the Fence community is our willingness to embrace different interpretations and ideas. Like for example, every single person has a different interpretation of Jesse, but to me, he’s a pathetically wet cat. And Nathan and Zayn—ugh, I swear I WILL finish their story. I was planning on writing a whole arc that takes place in the canon universe, but see below on my concerns of burnout… I had issues 😭 But I still have goals to write them more!
I know I shouldn’t apologize, but sorry for lack of updates 😭 I was facing aforementioned burnout, and now that I’m feeling a bit better, I’m struggling to pick up where I left off.
Thank you so much for this message 💕 It’s truly SO sweet of you and I appreciate it so much! You made my day, really! Thank you!
Many are saying SMC is low budget,,,however don't you think they are investing a lot in music production and voice actresses/actors? I think both aspects are kick ass! These aspects can't be replaced later on; but the animation can surely improve with the DVD's. What do you think about this perspective?
I think most of the things involved in Crystal are very well done and so with lots invested, I don't know why they skipped on the quality, maybe for the sake of the dvd/blu ray sales? That'd be really messed up tbh.
It really is upsetting because everything in the 20th looked flawless except for the new anime itself (animation wise).
I think many have voiced their opinions about the poor animation in some scenes. Do you think the producers are aware of these opinions? Do you think they will consider those comments. Ep 4 was far better! I loved it!
Episode 4 was definitely better than episode 3, but until episode 5 comes out we won't know if it is like this because they actually redraw the shots because of the backslash or because this episode got more budget since it's a key episode.
Yes episode 4 wasn't perfect but at least its flaws didn't ruin the enjoyment for me, we have a long way to go but at least we got something.
I hope episode 5 looks as good (yes I would like it to look better but I'd rather have it look like ep4 than ep3).
I'm sure people in TOEI, producers,osabu, animators, etc must know about the people opinions and I hope they take action and fix that issue!.
At first I refused to follow this blog but now I just enjoy all the mistakes in the series. Of course it's sad to see those scenes but now I can't help but laugh. Thanx for making it it funny! Hahaha. I wanted to ask you, do you think these scenes will be fixed in the DVD version? Do you think these mistakes could have been on prupose to have more people talking? I think people wouldnt be talking about it if it were all beautiful...but who knows,maybe it just simply is bad decisions being made.
Thanks!.
I'm pretty sure that everything will be fixed in the DVD/Blu Ray version. It'll be really sad it they are doing this on purpose to milk more money out of the SM fans but in that case I think it's backfiring because the only reason that Crystal is so talked about it's because of its awful errors lol!.
