horny purgatory… one of them has to make the first move, but neither of them want to. dante doesn’t want to presume that olivine wants his help. olivine doesn’t want to presume that dante would help him.
and also like. dante is respecting the practices of the church by not questioning olivine’s rather… open scent during his heat.
they both think they can muscle through it (which they probably could!!!), its just. miserable. and they’re both so polite to each other too OTL… they’re friends, but they’re officials first.
so they’re having Intensely Normal and Polite conversation over lunch while olivine is trying to make sure slick doesnt leak through his robes and dante has to meticulously position his shawl so His Holiness cant see his massive boner through his stupid tight pants. dante definitely doesn’t have any feelings about how deeply olivine drinks his water or the flush across his face.
also!!! like!!! olivine wouldn’t even let himself masturbate. he’s a guest at dante’s home; surely, dante would be disgusted if he saw him or heard him being so shameless. he can’t spoil dante’s hospitality to him…
meanwhile, dante has no such reservations about pleasuring himself in his own home, but!!! he thinks jerking it to olivine, an ally who is in vulnerable straits, is weird! it’s not bad, persay. he just!! feels a little weird about it. (he probably does it anyways because, at a certain point, he can’t help himself. he’s strangely stiff with olivine later and olivine thinks dante might have cottoned onto the fact that olivine is having ~thoughts~ about him.)
i think. eventually. there has to be some kind of tipping point. like they keep making horny compromises to themselves. dante jerks off to olivine. olivine likes bathing after dante because he noticed there was cum left on the tile one time and he can allow himself just a taste of shameful intimacy, can’t he? perhaps some laundry stealing, but they’re both such tightly controlled individuals that it’s hard to imagine they’d allow themselves to do that, hehe.
one path to endgame banging is olivine premptively apologizing and confessing his indecency to dante (esp. if he feels like dante caught him and felt disgusted)? like… he’s not usually such a prude about his own instincts, but he can’t help falling back to feelings of shame when he’s acting so improperly. and dante is like (blink blink). because, if dante did catch him, dante definitely just ran away to jerk off shamefully himself.
so dante, reluctantly, drags his own admission out that he’s wouldn’t mind helping olivine and anyways, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about because they’re allies. (and then they fuck and scent each other crazy style.)
thinking about the omega priests post and olivine. as you do. but more specifically thinking about olivine going to solaria on official church business and coincidentally the scheduling of the trip means that he's going to go into heat during it. which is fine, kind of. it's going to suck a lot going through a heat alone when he's been so thoroughly spoiled by eiden and the clan, but he's had years of practice.
except solaria is really fucking hot. downright unbearable when in heat, especially when you're used to cooler temperatures like resident white boy olivine. and also dante ISN'T used to being around omegas in heat because he's been so isolated for so long. and dante offered to house olivine at his residence because there's a lot of rooms he's not using and what, is he going to make an acquaintance stay at an inn? do you doubt the sun lord's hospitality??
so they're both slowly going insane in close quarters because. olivine can't make the first move. and dante can't make the first move. and they're slowly roasting in horny fumes
🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️🩹
Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
Our Journey So Far
When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:
🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.
😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.
💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️
Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude,
Mosab and Family ❤️
At the Nukani Animate Cafe, if you spent 2000 yen, you'd get a random character card. These cards have emails to Eiden from the characters (or Eiden to his boys). Below is my translation of all of them!

Good job, everyone! I'd like to throw a party for everyone, now that finals are done.
I know you're still busy regardless, so make sure you make time to stop by! It'll be at...hmm...How about we borrow an empty classroom and do karaoke? Bring any sort of snacks or board games you like!
I want to talk about a lot of stuff, so let's meet at our usual place after class tomorrow!

They'll sell out if you wait too long. I'm going to go get some soon, so you should come with me. (◡‿◡)♡
I have to update my socials if I get it!
So you should take pictures of me, because I'm soooooo cute! (@•̀ᴗ-)✧

Hey, have you eaten the new bread that came in? I just randomly lined up to buy one when I was going out with that shitty vampire, but it's surprisingly good! It's shape is amazing, and it's delicious too!
...Except, there was a crowd jostling me around, so the hot dog got all over the inside of my bag (;Ɐ;) Either way, you should definitely try it if you get the chance, Master!

You told me before that you wanted me to eat properly, even though I'm so busy with extracurricular activities, so...
I've lately been eating that simple sandwich you made for me the other day. It could be sweeter, but it's both healthy and delicious. I give you my thanks.
The tournament will be soon, so I'd like you to...no, never mind. Let us both work as hard as we can. I will correspond with you again.

Thank you for helping me with the choir the other day. By the way, you've been busy lately...are you sleeping okay?
Oh, right! I bought some milk from the store. It's delicious! Milk contributes to sound sleep, so you should drink it to properly relax.
I was thinking I'd make milk pudding at home...but, if you're up for it, I'd love your company.

I heard you were looking for me.
The sunlight filtering through the trees feels nice, so I fell asleep behind the gym. It is really green there. Topper likes it.
Want to come with me, Eiden? I'll wait for you while I eat my lunch, onigiri.
But I might just fall asleep again...

Sorry about earlier!!!
I didn't bring my lunch so I sprinted to get it...I wasn't paying attention and knocked you over...
My latest favorite food is a stamina bowl that's sold at the cafeteria. It's really good when paired with a sports drink! After I'm done running, let's go eat together!

Are you studying for finals? I heard that you did well on the last quiz. Surely that was because we studied together. If you do well on your finals, I will take you to the cafe we went to last time as a reward. They have superb spiced naan there.
The most important thing is that you do your best and don't laze about.

just saw my first ghibli movie. anyone else think the food in these looks good as fuck? 😋😋😛
like and share to help them carry their load 😔 🫴
ok ive been thinking about this since like chapter 12 and chapter 16 is just around the corner so:
here’s my theory about how clan member contracts work + the contract powerscale 📝
so huey signs a contract with someone and they each have to fulfill it. simple enough. in return for fulfilling the contract, huey gives them a fraction of his essence (which culminates in a gemstone on their body) and they go on a roadtrip to fix the altars every once in a while
each original clan member signed their contract for a reason. we have pretty good guesses for some of them quincy: to protect the tribe/tribe’s land (pretty much confirmed as of razor’s edge) olivine’s ancestor: to assist(?) the church dante’s ancestor: to protect the solaria yakumo’s ancestor: to protect his loved ones (see: misty vale) what happens when someone doesn’t fulfill their contract? based on rei’s flashback in ch. 12, i’m guessing that the body part their gemstone is connected to + their essence begins to go haywire. rei mentions he ‘never chose to enter any damn contract’ while his gem huey also mentions that rei must learn to ‘harness the power’ he was given. it seems like part of that ‘harnessing’ is using huey’s power in service to the original contract.
rei, it seems, was not doing that. this is in contrast to someone like quincy who spends a great deal of time protecting and aiding the forest tribe and, likewise, possesses an incredible amount of power.
i think olivine is in a similar position (though he doesn’t know it). he’s got a lot of control and power and, unlike yakumo and edmond, his gem wasn’t cloudy when eiden met him (although, his sr also covers his gem with a decorative gem so?) (at any rate, iirc, eiden doesn't notice anything wrong with his gem). (EDIT: i have been informed that eiden does comment on olivine's gem in his h-story room when he sees his real gem and he says it’s clear (healthy gem = good essence health). OLIVINE WIN.) olivine's ancestor (likely) asked for power to care for/protect the church and olivine has been doing that (monster semen not withstanding. we’ll get to that.📌) + regulating with the altar. the more a clan member ‘fulfills the purpose of their contract’, the more power they reap from it. it’s hard to say this definitively because some of the original contracts are very ambiguous.
this puts quincy + olivine + kuya(?) in the upper tiers edmond + yakumo + g/karu(?) are in mid tier
the familiars + blade are N/A (never signed a contract)
and then bottom tier are rei and dante. who also happen to be the only main clan members who have been conspicuously sick as part of their character rei, we know spent an ample amount of time doing something outside of klein (i.e. not fulfilling his ancestor’s contract). so, we know where his dysregulation came from and it likely didn’t occur while he was a kid based on the few childhood flashbacks we get from him. his problem was mostly getting megabullied 😔✊ but what about dante? how did he fail his contract as infant, straight from the womb??? (assuming that was the cause of his sickness)
well. when he was born, solaria wasn’t doing very well. and, honestly, his parents weren’t doing a great job running the show. it also probably didn’t help that he was stopped from doing anything that could help solaria since he was isolated to palace grounds.
that is until the night of the riot when he ran and sought out the elemental spirit of fire's trial.
we don’t know exactly when dante ‘stopped being sick’ but i’d hazard a guess that it was after his trial with the elemental spirit of fire. the essence + power he gained from the contract with the elemental spirit of fire (i.e. his agreement to protect the fire territory) stabilized his essence and thus, his health. his newfound health (plus a lot of training) gave him the strength to improve solaria and become what he is today. (as an aside, similar to how kuya provides a lot of insight on huey, dante provides a lot of insight on contracts and communication with the elemental spirits. his contract is directly compared to the contract scrolls used by huey (by blade in chapter 10 part 1). in that chapter we learn that failure to fulfill his contract will result in his death. otherwise, we see that he gains power and favor from the spirits.)
even though solaria has improved a lot, i think dante's essence from huey might be permanently effected given that in sunburst fever, he can’t use magic w/o the elemental spirits. in general, he seems to struggle with outputting essence compared to other clan members.
tl;dr: huey’s contracts make you more powerful if you do what you said you’d do (or your ancestor said that they’d do) and, if you don’t, wuh oh… 📌 so olivine and the monster semen. yes, he did try to sabotage the church, so why didn’t he face some kind of huge consequence for breaking the contract? well… he also protected the church and, despite trying to harm it, he did his best to maintain it. so, what might seem like a huge breach of contract, is actually alright. the church didn’t face any major harm and it was protected. bada-bing-badaboom also, a possible question might be ‘so what about the mid-tier guys?’. so, yakumo and edmond don’t appear(?) to be actively fulfilling their contracts (though yakumo is well on his way).
what’s important is that they aren’t violating their contract. from when we meet them, it seems like ‘neglect of a contract’ does lead to degradation of one’s gem (cloudiness of the gem, poor condition in general) and would eventually lead to illness (like rei), but it’s a much slower process. it’s a good thing eiden regulated with them when he did.
I beg my kidnappers for a phone, swearing not to make any calls or texts, and they stare over my shoulder, holding a gun to my head as I use my newly-freed hand to post, "So do like, dudes just buy ropes and baklavas from the same store or what lmfao like a specialty Crime Store"
One of the kidnappers says "balaclavas" but it's muffled under the fabric. I ask them to repeat and they do, their voice raspy from disuse. "You wrote baklava, that's a pastry." The other kidnapper goes "stfu" and then after a pause goes "Why would you buy from a crime store"
This is fucking awesome LMAOOOO
