was looking through my screenshots again and noticed this gem:

Rare example of Jamil speaking nicely about Azul in front of others! Imagine him calling Azul "NRC's top businessman" to his face, without including a barb of some sort... and, of course, there's the fact that he knows Azul's psyche so intimately, and is willing to demonstrate this in front of others. Even Jade said that waking Azul would mean forcing him to "reject this happy dream"; Jamil was the only one to voice why this dream isn't actually happy for him.

(this was still, ofc, on the heels of Jade's dream):

anyways, just throwing this one in here too, because it's one of my favorite jamiazu interactions, and I can't just leave it out of a b7 dream conversation. purely because there was no reason for it to exist, and yet it does. I've never been able to work out Jamil's angle here, because why is he flirting back.

(the last bit sounds so much like duo magic that part of me expected it to be the lines for OB Jamil. wouldn't be the first time duo lines were said in-game! still, no complaints about what it ended up being 🙂‍↕️)

That first screenshot... it's such a compelling parallel to the book four conversation at the edge of the desert, where Azul is able to articulate why Jamil is unhappy and is the first to express urgency in pulling him out of the overblot. There we see how Azul understands Jamil's unhappiness, here we see how Jamil understands Azul's happiness. In both cases they're the mouthpiece to explain to the audience the character motivations of the other. It truly feels like a balancing of the scales.

(Jamil implying Azul always acts like a sketch comedy actor was so funny. Yeah, he's ridiculous...)

Truly the only reasons Jamil could have for that final exchange are 1) he just enjoys their banter and 2) he felt like Azul could use some reassurance/encouragement (albeit delivered in a sarcastic, condescending way). I like to think it's a bit of both. He just enjoys doing this nonsense with Azul (e.g. the entirety of Tapis Rouge, although he was never this nice); it's a pleasant development in their relationship, showing how they play off each other without animosity these days. I mean, look at their faces:

They are relishing this. As I said, Jamil recognized that this sort of exchange would serve as a pick-me-up for Azul, who was very embarrassed by his dream, even if he only expressed that in 7.5 (to Jamil!). And it did cheer him up: look at him, raring to go.

On the other hand: "Hmph. It's not like this is farewell forever." <- He had no reason to say this specifically. Obviously Azul knows that, he just brought up wanting to fight with Jamil, he was NOT asking a "when will we be reunited 🥀" question that warrants the sort of assurance one gives when sending a child to school or a lover to war. "It's not like this is our only chance to fight together" would have been a much more fitting response, but the fact that he didn't say that leads me to believe his mind was elsewhere. You'll have to forgive me for my blatant and shameless conjecture: I don't think Jamil wanted to leave him. The line was more for himself than Azul...

[thatacewhen]

Im of the mind that the b7 dialogs while everyone is dreaming is pretty much everyone with v little filter and kost of the time people will say what they are thinking unless they actually stop themselves.

So the jamiazu flirt was more genuine and their whole back and forth was how they think/first impulse while when they r awake they are more reserved and antagonistic due to social and societal expectations

H-holy shit... Happy Pride AzuJami... Hazukashiiiiiiiiiiiii kyaaaaa~

Twisted wonderland au but the stories are in the wrong order

Book 1 being octavinelle

Yuu/mc rolls up in twisted wonderland and sees the state of their dorm and co student and realizes they broke as fuck

Shit like food and repairs and class material be expensive

So they find from word of mouth(overhearing ruggie in the hallway complaining about the workload but the pay being nice) that working at the school cafe/restaurant/gentleman's club monstro lounge can pay them and help at least put food on the table

They already worked part time jobs while being at school in their world, same shit different font

So they go to azul and co and are like "are you hiring right now?"

(And from my experience of playing the game and the fact that azul and Jade and Floyd had to CON PEOPLE TO WORK THERE the turn over rate at the lounge is pretty high)

So azul and the tweels are like "why would u willingly want to work here"

Yuu/mc: "does it matter? I want (x amount of thaumarks) hourly, double that if i work overtime, and a 40 hr work week with max 5 days. I want 2.5 leave days per month with roll over. If u call me in on my days off u pay me double on top of what's already being paid(so quadruple on overtime) and u cannot call me in when I take leave. I want an hour for lunch and breaks as needed, all paid. The schedule has to be posted at least for the month so I can notify u of when I'm cashing in my leave days ahead of time. And the uniform has to be provided."

Azul: u seem remarkably well prepared for this bit what do I get out of such high demands?

Yuu/mc : thats the union rate where im from and I won't suffer for anything less. Im capable of working (insert position qualifications)

Queue negotiations proceeding for several hours

Azul: well its a deal, see u at work on monday

--

Then yuu/mc keeps watching the trio make shady business deals and contracts with people and is like "y the fuck r people so stupid they ain't even negotiating the terms and act all shocked when the consequences of their actions find them"

And then ace and deuce and grim greet anenomied and yuu/mc has to listen to azul do his whole speech while on their day off

Yuu/mc standing in the doorway while azul rants: boss ur megalamania is showing again

--

Ace/deuce/grim complaining about the work being terrible and yuu/mc being like "bitch I've been working here all semester stfu"

--

Yuu/mc having to be like "boss y is my cat breaking dishes in the kitchen? He doesn't even do the dishes at our dorm"

Azul "listen idk where else to put him hes a flaming cat. If he's by the water he can't set anything on fire"

Yuu/mc "y he working here at all? He's a flaming cat it doesn't exactly scream distinguished"

Azul "what am I supposed to do with him?? The default on the contract is working at the lounge until they graduate?? You're one of the few people that wanted different terms! "

Yuu/mc "yeah people here are kinda stupid"

Azul "hes becoming more expensive than he was worth, and your 2 other friends won't stop complaining about working so at this point how about we make a deal and if you resolve it I'll let them 3 go?"

Yuu/mc "depends on the deal"

--

Queue fetch quest, jade and floyd interfering and yuu/mc bribing them with shit so they'll let them pass, etc etc

Azul overblotting:

Jade /floyd: prefect we need u to come in and help us deal with this

Yuu/mc: its my day off

Jade: you'll get your payraise

Yuu/mc: fiiiiine

--

The shaolin soccer remake looks great

[thatacewhen]

Book 4 au where grim is the one getting hypnotized by jamil bc mc keeps putting on their reflective sunglasses/or transition lenses bc scarabia bright as fuck.

Nothing else really changes but its funny to think about jamil having to pivot from trying to get the mc to bend to his will and they r literally like 😎 to telling the talking cat demon to come investigate his dorms Revolution and pretty please bring his hench human

[thatacewhen]

Hi hi

Are there any good fics where jamil gets poisoned?

Bc like, thats peak angst potential and I'm kinda in the mood to torture the sinnamon roll

[thatacewhen]

BRUH TWST GAPCHA IN THE WILD?!?!?!

AND I GOT ALL OF THE FISH MAFIA?!!?!?!?

Truly today is a good day

[balaclava-trismegistus]

It pisses me off when I see people draw dinosaur fursonas and they have huge fat tits. That's not a mammal. You do not love dinosaurs, but the idea of dinosaurs. Fuck you idiot. I'll kill you.

[balaclava-trismegistus]

yeah like why even bother anthropomorphizing an animal if you're not going to fuck around with its biology

[captain-price-unofficially]

[transhuman-priestess]

ok this time i'll allow it.

[thatacewhen]

I am of the same opinion but also with mermaids

They r half fish??? Why boobs??

Unless ur mermaid is like, cetecean in origin but even then that's stretching it thin

[thatacewhen]

Hey what mentality is it if u play keane-somewhere only we know on repeat for like, 5 hours?

ROTI BUAYA MY BELOVED

[harunayuuka]

Cater: Acey-kun? Have you seen MC-chan? They're not in their dorm.

Ace: Eh? No. I haven't. Actually, I was about to ask you.

Cater: Hmm...

Cater: *receives a text message from them* Speaking of the devil—EHH?!! *his eyes widened*

Ace: Wh-What happened, Cater-senpai?

Cater: MC-chan is being interviewed right now!

The host: You look a little tense. I hear this is your first appearance—how are you holding up?

MC: ...

MC: Can I be honest?

The host: Of course!

MC: I haven't eaten anything since morning.

The host: Oh my—let me have something brought out for you. Is there anything you’d prefer?

MC: I’m okay with whatever you have.

The host: Would rice balls be okay? I have some packed here—I made them myself.

MC: Yes, please. Thank you.

Vil: At least they're being polite.

Ace: But like, why would they be eating? If it were me, I'd be nervous.

Cater: Well, Acey-kun, MC-chan clearly doesn't give a damn.

Vil: Unfortunately, yes.

MC: *the camera is zoomed in on their face as they eat*

MC: *finishes the first rice ball, then looks at the host* Can I have the rest?

The host: *more than willing* Of course! *chuckles*

Ace, Cater, and Vil: ...

Ace: I think they have just become a media favorite.

[thatacewhen]

Gender being a performance and me doing an Oscar award winning role as a slapstick comedy routine in an otherwise dramatic field

[thatacewhen]

EMERGENCY:

Kitchen sink not draining

Kitchen sink won't drain, tried taking apart the pipes and snaking into the wall where it goes into the basement.

Tried plunging and shop vac-ing and draino and baking soda and vinager all in some order and still not working.

Tried running dishwasher and pouring a bunch of water down the main line to see if it needed to be rushed past the p trap and nada(dishwasher just drained into sink)

Posted on r/plumbers and haven't gotten an answer yet.

Please help me trouble shoot this

[thatacewhen]

Probably a "oh wow insert sarcastic comment about how good I have it" moment but like, why do I keep getting people wanting to date me? Like.

Apparently i attract people and (checks to see if im still myself in the mirror, yeah no still me) I frankly don't see it??!?!

Is it my personality? Bc I thought I had this "don't fuck with me" vibe thing happening but its making? People want to???? I genuinely thought I was off putting and scary but hey apparently that works for some people and now I keep getting asked out by different people and I hate having the "yeah this isn't gonna go anywhere that u think it will bc while I'd love for us to hang out and everything I actually have no attraction to u besides anesthetics and vibes. Anything beyond that is not gonna happen." Talk .

Hate having to come out to people and be like "it isn't u its actually me no really"
