Side note the book I bought today is Nabokov’s favorite word is mauve and it’s statistical analysis of words and writing and IM SUCH AN EXCITED LITTLE NERD
So at work we’re supposed to get customers emails, and the one I give out when I buy things is butcheshavemorefun, which is pretty extra in itself but today I went over the top because the cashier asked how to spell it and I just rolled up my sleeve to show my tattoo and went from there
AU where no one has powers but there are still monsters so Mina, Mako, and Haruka form a vigilante justice crew to take care of them.
And by form a crew I mean Mako and Haruka both started doing it alone because they’re stubborn hero types and Mina encounters them by chance, immediately realizes they need to team up and have some strategy if they’re gonna survive long term, and declares herself team leader before anyone can argue.
They’re all rough and tumble kids society gave up on, but they might just save the city.
I shaved my head again and my father-in-law’s response was “You’ve changed your hair! Is it longer or shorter than when I last saw you?”
I just imagine making out on the floor of the manga section in our biggest bookstore in town, which would be: one single super small shelf that only holds one volumne of Sailor Moon (which I sometimes try to warn fathers from buying their daughters, pointing towards the DVD section) and that would be … uncomfortable … and … gross.
LMAO my store has two big shelving units for it, so people seem plenty comfy, but sometimes I want to tell customers just how gross our floor is. Like, it’s New York so we have pests and also. Every gross thing you can think of has been in our floors at least once (and it’s never just once. That idea that crazy shit happens in New York? It especially happens in New York retail.)
I’m not gonna reblog the post this is from but PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. I showed this to coworkers and we all screamed. It’s disruptive to other shoppers and just generally makes booksellers’ jobs harder! Also!!! The bookstore date thing sounds cute but y’all always end up making out on the floor while reading manga and it’s uncomfortable for everyone so please dont.
You know what? Fuck past!me for deciding I didn’t need to keep all my files for a writing project in one folder and all the hand written stuff in one notebook
And also fuck me for probably not writing a lot of stuff down on the assumption I’d remember
So why does no one talk about Rei/Yaten?
I mean it’d be a train wreck but it would be a hilarious train wreck. They’d intrigue each other with their surface personalities long enough to get to dinner on the first date, but then each would expect the other to faun over them, and they slowly get more frustrated and less polished as the night goes on. Yaten slips in more and more passive aggressive jibes and Rei turns towards just plain aggressive but she really wants to rub it in Minako’s face that she can date a pop star so she doesn’t leave. And as much as Yaten is annoyed by the date they actually like Rei more than most people they’ve met because they have a mad respect for elegant fronts and they enjoy seeing Rei’s fall apart. And eventually theirs falls apart too much they insist it hasn’t and they and Rei are both just angry messes by the end of the night.
And then they agree to do it again soon.
THE STARS ARE MY FUCKING FAVS OMGGGGG
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH BRI
Seiya is my ultimate babe, she’s such a piece of shit I love her so much, but the others tooooo
They’re just a)ridiculous and b)ACTUALLY REALLY INTERESTING IF YOU TRY AND FIGURE THEM OUT LIKE CHRIST THEIR PLANET DIED??? THATS SOME SHIT
(Sidenote I don’t ship the popular ships besides SeiUsa, which can make a lot of the Starlight fandom uninteresting to me BUT I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THE STARLIGHTS SO MUCH)
@jay-lea: I’d love to see you write this! Mako would see past Taiki showing off and genuinely ask her advice with plants and it could be such a nice dynamic between them
I HAVE A DAY OFF TOMORROW I MAY HAVE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO. I see them settling into a dynamic pretty easily, Taiki’s self-importance might be off putting at first but she’s genuinely passionate and that can make up for a lot in Mako’s eyes, especially when it comes to caring for plants (and other living things)
