wait are eichi and rei together now? does this mean kaoru is the only single guy in undead? kaoru get your act together you have so many "complex relationship" arrows
Kaoru: ...
u r so real for bird magnet adonis but can i interest u in my personal hc of disney princess adonis. all animals of every classification love him in my brain. he could walk up to a rabid mountain lion and it would turn into the sweetest cuddliest kitten just at the sight of him.
i agree but i dont think hes good with animals in a "disney princess" sense bc that suggests hes just like that naturally with no effort on his part . i think hes good with animals in an "experienced ecologist" sense . as in , hes well versed in animal body language ( both preforming it and understanding it ) and has no fear whatsoever of any animal but still respects them as if he did . so to everyone around him it looks like hes some kind of animal whisperer but in reality hes just a very good scientist .
Hi stephanie,
I hope this email finds you, as the search and rescue team is otherwise completely out of ideas

Was having a rough week, and drawing Undead cheers me up, so here they are in dresses
In the absence of a clear and obvious angle to attack Bushnell’s protest, most likely due to his status as a serviceman that would make outright insulting him or suppressing the news itself scandalous, discussions on Western shores have now taken on the familiar framing of mental illness. In Time Magazine’s write-up of Bushnell’s death, the article finishes with a link to the suicide hotline, and asks readers to contact mental health providers if they are experiencing a “crisis.” Mark Joseph Stern, a writer at Slate, seemingly unasked, also wrote on Twitter/X:
“I strongly oppose valorizing any form of suicide as a noble, principled, or legitimate form of political protest. People suffering mental illness deserve empathy and respect, but it is wildly irresponsible to praise them for using a political justification to take their own life.”
Conviction does not exist to the American. To be willing to die in a selfless act for what they believe in only exists for those outside America's sphere of influence. Many will recall reporting on those who self-immolated in protest in Iran and in Russia for instance where this sort of approach, unwilling to engage with the root of its cause, would not even be entertained, let alone written and published with sincerity. The Arab Spring began with a self-immolation. The self-immolation of Buddhist monks in protest of South Vietnam’s persecution became defining images of the war and its corruption. Within America’s walls however, there is a belief, unspoken and ingrained from birth, that democracy allows for everyone’s voices to be heard and that its representatives are inherently inclined to respond to the people and their widespread wishes.
Desperation at inaction or complicity in terror and atrocity need not apply. Everyone incensed by their government to such an extent must simply have something wrong with them. To be able to go about one’s day knowing that children are screaming from the hunger that is eating their insides and that pregnant women are eating bread made from animal feed, and that the United States is supporting Israel’s creation of this famine, is apparently the real sign of well-adjustment.

You're back!!!
HI MAY HI!! IM BACK I FEEL LIKE MY TUMBLR USE IS SPOTTY BUT IVE RETURNED I HOPE YOURE DOING WELL
i think the new unit is going to invade my brainstem im so excited for !!!-era im vibrating at 3000 Hz and emitting a high pitched whine
WATARU CAN YOU CROCHET??? WILL YOU EVER CROCHET??? CAN YOU TEACH ME TO CROCHET!!!
Wataru: Amazing...!
Location: Tanabata Stage Characters: Tsukasa, Adonis, Kouga, Ritsu & Arashi
Kouga: Looks like you guys have your own hands full with your issues, huh, “Knights”. We don’t have any new members, so we don’t have any particularly big problems.
But our goals and our senior’s goals are the exact opposites, so it feels like we’re gonna be split in half.
“If you gain victory in all of the seven stages during ‘Tanabata Fest’...”
“...I’ll acknowledge your skills and stand on stage with you.” Is what he told me, actin’ like a master or somethin’.
Honestly, I’m super pissed. I bet he just said that to make us motivated, but I know exactly what he’s up to.
…I’m seriously annoyed at the fact that he still treats us like we’re a bunch of immature kids who he’s gotta guide through in life.
Adonis: Hehe. That’s why we went past all the rest of the stages and arrived at this stage – our meeting place – far ahead of the time we were supposed to meet our upperclassmen.
They should be able to see us in a new light now.
Kouga: That ain’t good enough, Adonis. We’ve gotta really shove it in their faces and show ‘em what we’re really made of.
We’ve gotta beat ’em to a pulp and make ‘em grovel in front of us!
Ritsu: I see you’ve got quite the hot temper, corgi.
Kouga: I don’t wanna hear that from you, Ricchi. Since you’re from a warring place that always gets into fights!
Arashi: We’ve been pretty peaceful lately, you know?
Tsukasa: That’s right. But, although it’s embarrassing, our opponent is the “Peace Party” this time. We always feel alive when we’re fighting with someone.
Quite frankly, I’m having a lot of fun right now ♪
Arashi: You’re definitely a member of “Knights”.
I could never get used to that. Not then, not now.
…I wanted to live without making waves as best as I could.
I hated conspiracies and fighting. Honestly, my time as a kids model was full of those things and I was sick of it all.
It feels like I was contaminated and no longer pure thanks to that bloody era.
I hate my past self. I hated how I kicked people down and stood on top of them, how I wanted everyone to love me and how I used to struggle in such an unsightly way. I hate it so much.
That’s a past I want to pretend never happened. Just like the cenotaph at Yumenosaki.
That’s why I also understand how the people felt when they wanted to get rid of it. It’s only natural – everyone wants to live cleanly in an uncontaminated world.
But I decided to throw away my past self and enrolled into Yumenosaki to start anew – I put on glasses and did my best not to stand out.
But someone found me and they fell in love with me.
Adonis: …………
Arashi: He loved composing, just like Leo-kun.
He was terrible at it and couldn’t come close to that genius. Frankly, the songs he made me listen to were awful.
The melody he made while thinking of me still remains within my ears – within my heart.
It rings loud and clear, even now. Even when he’s no longer alive and he’s turned into a star in the sky.
But I was so frivolous and flippant back then and would throw things away once I was bored with it. I was selfish.
I decided I didn’t need the “kids model Arashi Narukami” which was created by hurting others and desperately tried to throw it away.
Say, how long do you think the me back then could keep holding on to that person’s song without throwing it away?
It’s fine now, I still remember it. When I wanted to be alone, I used to visit that cenotaph often to talk to that person.
That person passed away along with his feelings for me, so he won’t hurt me like a living human would.
I projected my ideal image of him in my head, told him my worries and had him spoil and love me.
That terrible song would always pop into my head during those times.
But the cenotaph would be destroyed. The stone monument with his name carved into it that everyone else had already forgotten would be destroyed.
I’m someone who doesn’t want to do unnecessary things, so I’m sure I won’t be going to that place much in the future. Even if I did, there would be nothing there.
His footsteps would get even further from me and I’ll start to remember his name less and less…
Then, I’d have most definitely forgotten his song. His face, the words he’d say – everything.
The remnants of his kind character who lessened my burdens. I’d have forgotten it all.
That scares me. It frightens me. So much that it makes me tremble.
I hate myself for the fact that I’ll someday forget about him. I was embarrassed and hated seeing myself turning into that.
I didn’t know what I should do. That’s why I’m acting weird and causing everyone to worry about me.
It’s pathetic, isn’t it? Since I’m always pretending to be a big sister that everyone can rely on.
Adonis: Narukami.
Arashi: Oh, sorry. That was a strange topic. We’re right in the middle of a performance, so we shouldn’t be chatting away like this.
I’ve got to show everyone that came to see us today that I’m a perfect and beautiful idol.
Adonis: I see. So that’s your pride, Narukami.
Your wish is to be someone you can continue to love.
Arashi: You have a problem with that? We were brought into this world to love and be loved, you know?
Adonis: You’re right. My mother said something similar.
I think I now know why I felt a certain sense of affinity with you when we first met.
Arashi: Oh? Did I remind you of your mother? There, there. You can think of me as your mother and depend on me ♪
Adonis: Don’t make fun of me. That’s a bad habit of yours, Narukami. Talking about important matters seriously isn’t something to be embarrassed about.
Arashi: …………
Adonis: But you said something very good just now.
Arashi: What? Maybe it’s cause you tend to speak in a simple manner, but sometimes, you say things that I can’t understand.
Adonis: I apologise. I’ll work hard to make sure my feelings are conveyed properly.
But, instead, I’ll convey my feelings to you right now by using the nonverbal communication that my mother loved.
I’ll convey them by doing what I’m good at – in the form of a performance.
