OKAY BUT CONSIDER: Haruka takes this so earnestly, she assumes it’ll be like an extended speed date except she gets to get married at the end and live happily ever after. Imagine her getting eventually SO OFFENDED by the baityness of the show, the way some girls there arn’t?? really???into her???, and she just WALKS OFF SET, UPSET THAT HER TENDER BUTCH FEELS HAVE BEEN TOYED WITH.
I CAN’T THINK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SO HORRIBLE AND SAD. HARUKA WOULD FEEL SO GREAT FOR THE FIRST HOUR OR SO, SHE’S NEVER BEEN SO WANTED (that she’s realized), SHE SUDDENLY FEELS LIKE THE LITTLE LIFE SHE’S BUILT IS REALLY WORTH SOMETHING, LOOK AT THESE GIRLS WHO WANT TO BE A PART OF IT AND SHARE IT WITH HER. But then she realizes it’s not about her? She could be replaced by literally anyone else and they’d be fighting just as hard? No one’s realy listening when she talks about her life and her dreams. She throws out the harder truths about her past, just to try and get a real reaction, and everything is fake and she’s SO HURT.

I don’t know what is the Bachelorette but HOW DARES IT UPSET YOU
It’s a dating show, basically. I used to watch it with my mom and sister, and I remembered it as being very silly but still romantic. The basic concept is 25 women or men try to get one man or woman to fall in love with them. And each episode ends with the one man/woman giving roses to the people they want to continue getting to know. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE REALLY FUN TO WRITE HARUKA AT THE CENTER OF THIS, NOT KNOWING HOW TO HANDLE BEING PURSUED BY A BUNCH OF WOMEN, GENUINELY WANTING TO FIND LOVE AND HAVING BEEN COAXED INTO AUDITIONING AND PARTICIPATING BY MINA. I mean, roses right? That’s so HaruMichi!
Except it turns out my childhood memories aren’t quite true, the show isn’t silly or romantic at all. It’s kiiiiiiind of horrible, and cheesy not in a fun way, but in a way where you know everyone is taking themselves so seriously that there’s no enjoyment to be had.
Same Prompt Fic Party- Summer 2016
SURPRISE NERDS BET YOU THOUGHT YOU’D SEEN THE LAST OF ME
I quit doing the monthly prompt parties September of last year, but there was so call and request to bring them back on at least a smaller schedule, so here we are. Did you miss me? Be honest (Never be honest)
There are a lot more of you here than when I stopped doing these, and I HOPE some of you are here for the Harumichi as well as my sparkling wit, and so I formally invite you to join our same prompt fic party!
Our prompt for this party is:
Everything I had to sacrifice
Take it in all sorts of directions–AUs, whatever. As long as it’s from the prompt, it’s all good.
Everything’s gotta be RULES RULES RULES
- Fics, art, whatever always welcomed and encouraged
- Post to your blog and then send your link to me in an ask, submission, or fanmail, IF YOU DON’T DO THIS I’M UNLIKELY TO SEE IT
- Has to use the prompt and include a strong Harumichi element
- Entries are due June 18th at 6:00 pm Mountain time
- Word limit for fics is 10k (Doc, why is there a limit? Because I hold myself accountable to read every fic that comes in for this)
- The prize is THE MEANING OF SACRIFICE
- I will assemble these into a glorious masterpost
- If you have any questions let me know!
It’s been a long time, so I’m hoping some of you will be revitalized by this. JOIN US.
Guys I hate to say this, but it turns out I really, really hate the Bachelor(ette)
I can’t write this AU
Took one of those buzzfeed anatomy quizes and it labeled me “a vagenius”
If I were a different person I would totally put that on my tinder profile

ahahahahaha APPARENTLY WE ARE TOGETHER IN TUMBLR GRUMP TODAY WHY IS EVERYONE SO ANNOYING
I DUNNO BUT I WANT IT TO STOP
I woke up grumpy today apparently
I’m not high key angry about anything, just low key ugh about everything
On the strict like, website side, I love AO3, I think the formatting is really great for reading, and the tags/warning system is great.
But if it was the only place I was posting fic, I’d get so discouraged. Especially re: the kudos/comments ratio. I like kudos! They’re great, it makes me happy to see someone liked a fic, but comments mean so much more, even if it’s just “CUTE!!” Like, my first ever prompt party fic has 42 kudos, and 0 comments, if I hadn’t gotten feedback from you guys on here, I probably wouldn’t have continued.
