I Dont Care That Akito Is A Natural Redhead Ingame. His Hair Is Dyed. Ena Has Been Dyeing It For Him

Endo and Takiishi really are kings of miscommunication huh,,.

Despite Endo saying that the only person in Takiishi's world other than Takiishi himself is Umemiya, I don't think that's true. He either is allowed already in, or has the potential to be, and he himself is fucking it up.

Before I attempt to put the mess that they are into words, I want to mention that @finnitesimal's post about Endo & Takiishi wrapping back around to "a fight is a conversation" was something that set a lot of these thoughts into motion!! ( and a lot of this is based on that post as well, aka you should probably look at it first., )

Thanks dude !! You don't know me but you've made me a lot more insane than I already was!!

First thing I want to point out !! When we get Takiishi's POV on how he views other people, he includes both Umemiya and Endo. Endo isn't excluded from it, Takiishi recognizes him as different from the others.

He doesn't directly say he likes or cares for Endo, but still considers Endo different from the others.

I think it's also important how quickly he calls Endo by name after Umemiya tells him the "trick to being with people".

This moment is so important to their relationship. The way Endo says he'll bring Takiishi interesting people, and Takiishi following it up with calling out his name.., it really cements the idea of Endo being allowed in "Takiishi's world" to me.

I also think that one of the main reasons Endo doesn't get recognized and looked at in the way he wishes for, is the fact that he's too focused on pleasing Takiishi, on bringing him anything and everything he wants, going along with his wants and needs, and rarely ever truly going against him.

And when I say he brings Takiishi anything and everything he wants, I mean it, he orchestrated an entire war with all of Furin just to let Takiishi have as much fun as he's ever wanted.

And what Takiishi wants, and truly enjoys, is a fight with someone who won't go down so easily. He says so in his fight with Umemiya.

And even if they're both on a whole other level from the others, I do think that Endo (and Sakura) are following close behind. And I especially believe that Endo could entertain Takiishi, that he could put up a good fight against him.

He's considered a legend for a reason. He won against Tsubaki, Nakamura and Suzuri fairly easily, and we also know that he has never fought Umemiya, so we don't know how close he truly is to catching up with the two. Sakura did beat him in the end, but Sakura is likely going to rise to Umemiya's level eventually, so that doesn't really go against the possibility of him fighting Takiishi and holding his own. Which he absolutely should do. They need to fight.

Crazy as it is to say, beating the fuck out of each other would be really beneficial for their relationship.,

Ryoko Kui saying that Mithrun is living happily doing his hobby post-canon is so important to me

Like I have a whole fic to write about this, but I adore Kui’s redemption arcs, so to speak. And that’s not even the right word, imo, like the point isn’t that Mithrun had to redeem himself (despite what he himself might have thought); the point is that he deserves to be happy just like anyone else. That he accepts himself and starts to heal and can achieve a fulfilling life.

Random pieces of advice

The world is less scary and chaotic if you lie down on the floor

Noticing different kinds of light (stars, candles, sunshine or city lights) can bring back the feeling of wonder and hope

If you can’t shower, washing your hands and face will help you feel better and cleaner

If you can’t clean anything else, changing and/or washing your bedsheets can do wonders

Fresh air and being outside in general can help with depersonalisation

Spending time around animals can help you recognise what’s important and calm anxious thought cycles

Techniques for emotional regulation in children can really help adults too

Putting random asortment of food on a plate without creating an actual dish still counts as a meal

Drink something warm

Delete that app

Treat yourself as if you were a kid. Buy yourself a toy, play around, learn about cool new things

Fast paced life isn’t morally better and it’s not good for everyone

There is no good reason to keep yourself hungry

Singing to your full lung capacity can be a great way to let out built up emotion

Tension in the face can cause headaches. Try to massage your face regularly

Nothing is as important as your health

You are a whole person on your own, you don’t need someone else to be there to deserve love and attention. Your life can be full as long as you are present

You should cry things out whenever you feel like it

Slow walks are still movement and they do count

It’s never as bad as you imagine it

Try changing your toothpaste flavor if you hate brushing your teeth

Anything can be a stim toy - one of my favourites is a heavy dragon necklace that has a complicated surfice. It’s fun to touch and hold and it’s not even “actual” stim toy

Procrastinating and feeling bad about it is true waste of time. Learn to truly rest. It takes the same amount of time but it is useful

Sometimes you have to force yourself to do the things that make you feel better

Don’t trust the thoughts you have after not sleeping for a while

Friendships don’t have to be forever to mean something

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

Messages between me and Ibrahim @wolf-aid on the 17th of april 2025, shared with his permission

Ibrahim is only fifteen years old, and this is the kind of things he has to deal with because of the occupation. He dreams of continuing his education, but this genocide has taken that from him. Ibrahim’s home, school, and the places he used to spend his time have been destroyed, and he has been displaced multiple times and lost many relatives in the bombings. No one should have to go through this, and especially not at his age.

On top of this, both of his parents suffer from health issues, which is scary enough for a child to experience even outside of a war zone where they can’t get adequate treatment.

Prices in Gaza are sky high for food, medications and other necessities, and evacuations are expensive too. If you can donate to Ibrahim’s campaign, you are helping this family survive until the border reopens, and making sure they can afford to leave when they have the chance.

Thanks to Ibrahim’s hard work campaigning for his family, they have reached almost 90% of their goal, but they still have a little under 10,000 to go. Please don’t ignore him and don’t let this campaign slow down when they are so close to reaching their goal 🙏🏼🇵🇸

A lot of propaganda is not actually misinformation.

A lot of propaganda is not even half-truths.

A lot of propaganda actually is telling you the truth, but is feeding you a specific conclusion that the author wants you to draw from it.

This makes it a lot more robust, because if you go searching for sources to confirm the information, you'll find them!

So an important thing in evaluating information is not just "Is this true?" but also:

"Wait, does this lead inevitably to the conclusion this person is presenting? What other conclusions could I draw here? What other reasons for this piece of info could there be? How does this information fit into what I already know?"

"What are the motivations of the person who wrote or created this? Why did they want me to draw that conclusion? Do they themselves believe the conclusion they're drawing, or are they just trying to convince me? If they do believe it themself, why? If not, why are they trying to convince me? What's going on for them here?"

"What other pieces of information might I be missing? What am I extrapolating without noticing? What did this person deliberately leave out, or want me to ignore or gloss over? What other contexts and comparisons are applicable here?"

"How does this information with in with not only the specific conclusion that is presented, but with the author's overarching thesis? When I use it, how well does it fit into my thesis? When I take a step back, does this piece of information actually make any sense as supporting evidence for this person's thesis?"

Hopefully this is helpful, and can help your skills at evaluating information and arguments become more robust!

I cannot stress enough, how important I think this scene is for Endo and Takiishi's relationship

Because Umemiya has just told him "the trick to being with someone who'll change your world". Hes told him to start calling people by their names, to awknowledge them, to show them that he sees them. Because that is the way you let someone affect and influence you, by first awknowledging that they exist.

He then proceeds to immediately follow this advice, and in my opinion sort of test it out, and call Umemiya by name.

Now, what I think is so incredibly important, is him calling Endo by name. Him actively and consciously choosing to awknowledge him and his existence, and show him that he's looking at him.

Because he could've just, not done that. Or he could've done it later. But I think it is incredibly important that he does it immediately. He makes the decision to show Endo that he sees him, something that Endo likely hasn't experienced even once in their years together.

And I don't know, maybe I'm just stating the obvious or something..

But it's just such an important little scene, because this wasn't something Endo thought he was ever going to get. He was fully ready to keep on going as usual, doing and working towards what Takiishi wants, to find Takiishi interesting people so he can use Umemiya's advice on someone other than him.

But in just this small moment, hes validated Endo's entire existence, that he does mean something to Takiishi, and that maybe he can have the things he truly loves.

I also really don't think that Endo has expressed what he wants or needs to Takiishi, like ever. They really do not communicate well. But this scene shows us thta they're going to get better, that they are going to start understanding each other more.
