à la folie.

Somewhere across an undescript country within an undescript city, a daycare center forgot the credentials to their social media account, and it went unnoticed for months (not really. zhao tried telling them but we did get too busy to the point that they just let it be for a while).

They finally remembered what it was (thanks to mateo finding the paper around... who writes passwords in table napkins?) and so to celebrate, they have come together to post a picture. maybe to say they're still alive. maybe to say they have great things planned for their beloved daycare. whatever it was, they're ready to run it for the sake of their lovely, little wonders.

Well, actually- it's because a parent kind of complained that the lack of updates doesn't put them at ease... but don't tell anyone that you know.

WE missed this dearly beloved AU and we're OFFICIALLY back! - domi ( for real this time pls T_T)

That would have been the easiest way to write it for sure. Dimple even presents it this way. Reigen absolutely did say some foot-in-mouth terrible things claiming that Mob’s friends are using him and Mob can only rely on Reigen.

And while Mob absolutely took issue with the accusation that his friends are using him, the words that really got to him were Reigen going “you gotta grow up for crying out loud”

Mob is someone who thinks deeply about the things people says to him, and he’s someone who wants to put in the genuine effort to live his life.

Mob’s take-away from this wasn’t “I’m mad at Reigen.” His take-away was “I tend to just follow what Reigen says because it’s easy and works out. But I think to grow up and live my own life, I need to start making my own decisions and figuring out what I want.”

This arc could so easily have been about a petty squabble or a classic “your business won’t last a day without me!” style bet. But Mob isn’t that type of character.

OMG YAYYY, I didn't expect it, but made it to Group Stage! Please please please take a look at all the amazing fanart posted and I would super appreciate the vote ! (SolidDignity on Americas) Thank you!!!

For the cake we are going to bake, you will need the following:

Step 3) Mix the flour into the mixture until combined. Then separate the mixture equally into six different bowls. After this, put food colouring into it. You don’t need too much of it! (We used about half a teaspoon of each colour) Then stir the colours into the mixture.

Step 5) Once they come out of the oven, you’ll have cakes that look like the photo below! Don’t be worried if your cake looks a bit discoloured, it’s normal as the cake baked while touching the metal tin. We used a bowl as a template to cut around the cake to make it a bit smaller and to show off the vibrant colour!

Step 7) After the cakes have cooled off, place the first cake layer down (purple) and cover the top with icing. Next place the  blue cake layer on top and again cover the top with icing. Repeat this step for all the colours, next placing green, yellow, orange, and then red. Finish this step by covering the whole cake with icing.

Drew fanart for my own fic over on the archive. Chamber gets turned into a little guy and the other agents have to look after him. That’s it that’s the premise.

Remember when we begun?
