Blah-blah-blah

The fandom is alive and kicking! Maybe a little leisurely... but still ^^

marumafan is holding the torch relentlessly https://marumafan.tumblr.com

and we set up a Discord server recently and new fans keep showing up!

Not everyone would know, but Mass Effect 3 - a 2012 game from Bioware - has one of the most intimate interactions in any media EVER, imo.

Before the final battle the PC's love interest comes to their quarters to cheer them up and offer a boost of confidence and then they (usually) make love.

But what's more memorable is that after that the two wake up and have a super hearty talk (obviously it depends on your chosen romance, but the one i stick to is exactly that).

And no matter what other love stories I get to "live through", my mind always keeps returning to that scene and wants to let more different characters experience that. Laying naked in bed, completely bare and vulnerable, sharing their deepest doubts, fears and hopes and bracing themselves for an arguably uncertain doom...

Well, that may be a little too much for KKM, and it really shouldn't be that bad (in ME3 it was about the END OF THE WORLD as we know it), but I'd just love to have something like that! After all, these guys have to deal with politics and fight for world peace, and new conflicts are bound to arise eventually...

So, maybe there's another crisis, and more hard decisions have to be made, and more battles need to be fought... idk, it's not the point, it's all about the pressure and stress over high stakes, and faithful companions pulling through the hard times together.

We even have the actual recorded line of Yuuri saying "I'm really happy you're still with me". It keeps replaying in my head from time to time! (One of my favourite unobvious ME3 moments is when you nostalgically remark to the aforementioned love interest who also happens to be one of your oldest friends "You're still with me") The sentiment totally fits)

Also an excuse to show off their rings XD

See Wolfram is awesome because he doesn’t do the mistake a lot of tsunderes do where they make things worse for their love interest. Wolfram is like genuinely helping most of the time I fear. Yuri you lowkey are winning because Wolfram wants you and is willing to put up with your bullshit so yeah lowkey put up with his it’s a fair trade.

Wolfram is so funny he’s like just a competent fighter, decently knowledgeable, and very loyal so actually yeah Yuri you lowkey do deserve to be berated by him sometimes. Like usually tsunderes are just mean to be mean but Yuri sometimes you are being kinda dumb and I mean this with all the love in my heart.

Btw the audacity of Yuri to leave when Wolfram and Conrad request he stay put or stay by them and that’s like the one thing they asked man. I get it I get it but yuri come onnnnnnn.

I would say Wolfram deserves better but no they are perfect where they are. They balance each other too well for anyone else to be an option. They care deeply about each other but also bicker and have clashing ideas sometimes.

However it’s so important to me that like there are times where they just go “damn yea I was wrong my bad babe” which awesome 10/10 you are doing better than 90% of couples.

Sorta inspired by that fic.

In part 2 the guys confront the villain who'd hurt Yuuri very badly, Wolf looses his temper for a bit, almost going berserk, and Yuu has to help him calm down.

I really wanted a kiss on the forehead, but Wolf's hair is too... irrepressible XD

I hugged him tightly through the thin clothes I was wearing. Although it had only been a few days since I had last seen him, I felt his shoulders to be a little thinner. Because I had only ever seen him with a strong will, I didn't know how to cheer him up in a time like this.

Death Star Wars - The Last Jedi

What even was that vampire story?

Despite the comically nonsensical everything (matsutake mushrooms WTH) it still was rather moving?

Guess as long as it has the boys being fiercely protective of each other I really will eat ANYTHING.
