My secret santa gift for @/_miruo on twitter for the @ajin-secret-santa-2020​!!!

Kei, Izumi, and Nakano playing Uno and eating candy for the holidays? Yes, please. Nakano was about to win before Kei hit him with multiple skip/+2 combos (was it planned? probably)

😳👉👈 Why? (For the top song of the year post)

okay so Fair by The Amazing Devil is the most perfect love song of all time and I could stop there but I have SO MANY FEELINGS

like, the whole album is fantastic, the sound, the lyrics, Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland’s voices (especially Madeleine’s massive belts on That Unwanted Animal and Farewell Wanderlust, like a primal wailing in the absolute most complimentary way possible), the story that flows through the album, from a love literally on the rocks in The Rockrose and the Thistle to the very ending line of simply “I’m doing fine” in Battle Cries, I would kill to witness this album live (especially if they did it in a wood like in the live recording videos, I’d go fucking feral)

but

Fair, specifically, has my whole heart

there are so many love songs out there, more than you could possibly count, songs about new love and unrequited love and heartbreak and The One, about eternal love and love against all odds - it’s a very small percentage of songs aren’t about love in some way, and as somebody who is obsessed with music, who can’t remember what he had for lunch but can remember the songs he learnt in nursery, I would like to think I have heard enough love songs to Have An Opinion on them

Fair isn’t like those love songs, Fair about real love, it’s not an intense fantasy, like so many love songs, with Joey Batey’s vocals soft, low-key, almost spoken, almost whispered, like a train of thought - emphasised by the constantly rolling rhythm of the guitar through the whole song - like two people just idly chatting about a real relationship

about somebody you settle down quietly with, who you make stupid jokes with, who you have a real connection with, who you watch telly with, who you have fights with but work it out with, who’s heard you fart and snore, who makes you feel better just by standing beside you, makes you laugh, weep and ache

and even in the moments of the song that are intense, comparatively, Joey doesn’t go into a belt, but up into a falsetto; I can’t help but think of that one theory of musical theatre - in which belt is so frequently used - about how when the emotion gets too much, you sing, but again, that loops back to the intense fantasy, because think about when you’re emotional like that, you so rarely shout or wail, instead your throat tightens and your voice goes up 

god, it’s so viscerally real and I am a hopeless fucking romantic and it’s all I’ve ever wanted and I just don’t know if I will ever find a love song that speaks to me quite as much as this; it’s not fair how much I love this song

So I started watching Mairimashita! Iruma-kun and I really liked Ami Kirio's character design before... well... 😐 

A bonus meme + small rant because tumblr won’t let me add them in the tags:

I was fooled! bamboozled even! I know there were people who thought he was suspicious since his first appearance, but I was not one of them. I thought he was genuinely interested in the ways technology and magical items could be used to help others, rip 💔 He was my 2nd favorite character but he dropped to like 5th after the reveal :/ 

He could've just been evil and that would've been fine, but noooo!!! 🙄 He just had to be horny all the time too smh like, we get it! You're a sadomasochist, calm down! Is that your whole character now? booooo (I haven't read the manga but I'm dreading seeing him be a major villain, all I’ll see is what could’ve been 😔)

Sorry for the delay, but it’s finally here!!! This is my submission for the @hxhbigbang2020 😆🎉🎉

This is for @kiwizoom’s fic titled “Leorio goes to RadioShack” !!! <3<3

It’s a fun fic set in 1999 where the main four (plus the spiders) go to the mall and hijinks occur. This is the scene right before they split up to have their own adventures. It’s currently uploading weekly on AO3 and it comes with awesome banners!

A big thanks to this year’s HxHBB mods for hosting this event (and for the extension too) <3
