listen, I didn't fully understand the consequences of my actions. she was, initially, quite the Bean

can’t believe you gave jzx more than lwj… the audacity…

oh god this would be more of a punishment than any torture ushijima or kawanishi went through

seraphica said: 100% believable

seraphica said: daisuga not realizing asahi set them up holy shit

seraphica said: and they take credit for his relationship

seraphica said: did they even have ANYTHING to do with it

daichi and suga had nothing to do with asanoya being a thing, but they really think they did! and noya thinks it’s hilarious, so he doesn’t want to tell them that he definitely cornered asahi in the hallway outside the daisuga apartment and planted one on him like, three months before daichi and suga did anything.

but they make up for it by helping asahi propose, at their own wedding. so, you know. they’re not completely useless. :’)

i really really like this ask, but i do have 2 points of rebuttal/thoughts for you: 

1) are you going to be the one to stop him? he was arguably the strongest witch we’d seen prior to getting his familiar back, and now he has that and is deathless to boot. we’ve seen 2 cases of familiars & witches getting their bonds severed in-story, and 1 of those cases was literally death (as with yui & athena). the other involved a lot of questionable magic not even ushijima would probably touch (sakusa). 

although it’d be a really interesting sort of karma if ushijima & kiyoko swapped fates and he became a precog with a severed familiar. 

now i’m making myself sad thinking about what sort of familiar kiyoko would get. something soft. a bunny? a fox? a hummingbird? (clearly, a unicorn.) 

2) to be entirely fair to ushijima, he was totally capable of stopping northot. in fact, he basically did twice. it was outside forces - it was the fact that he cared about something other than himself - that undid him both times. if he had let kawanishi (and daichi & suga*) die the first go around, he would have been able to successfully banish northot outright before northot ever got past tendou. if he had not been distracted/trying to save tendou the second time, then he likely could have shoved northot into the realm portal and sealed it for good. ushijima is one of only 2 characters who actually have concrete plans to handle this sort of thing, and not only that, he had multiple plans for it**. 

**kiyoko probably has multiple plans. after all, she had plans in motion prior to yui popping back. 

(i’m very sad to admit this, but suga was probably one of those plans.) 

“what do you mean ‘just in case?’”

“let’s hope we never have to find out, kenma. that would be a dark day, indeed.”

seraphica: sugawara koushi absolutley owns ones of both himself and pretty much everyone else and does hilarious dioramas with them

this is 100% true but the greater injustice is that i don’t have my sugawara nendoroid yet despite having pre-ordered it!!!

seraphica replied to your post: @seraphica Sorry, I couldn’t be fucked to...

that one line regularly bothers me because of her immediately being like ‘thirteen going on thirty’ which diminishes the perceived age difference (let alone the real one), but is definitely only a minor quibble compared to the very real historical rewriting. But like they also act like the anne boelyn 6th finger thing was legit so it does seem fairly obvious that they weren’t exactly doing in-depth research

Okay, SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS, I actually don’t have a problem with the “thirteen going on thirty” line, partly because of the way it was framed by the production I saw (which was the Chicago Shakespeare Theater one). When I saw this (and theater changes based on direction, etc), you got this whole vibe of....................like. You’re supposed to be okay with it at first. You overlook it, because you’re in a pop concert vibe, you shrug and say, yeah, I’m supposed to cheer and move on. And then the song gets Progressively Worse (in a good way).

And you hit a point where you’re viscerally uncomfortable with not only what K. Howard is saying but with the framing of it. And you finish this pop concert song completely silent, unable to cheer for it, because you’re so completely uncomfortable with it and the idea that you’re meant to cheer for it. Every time I listen to this song, I remember the dead silence after the number finished when I saw it live. No applause. No cheers. Just horror. And part of that horror is because you cheered for lines like “thirteen going on thirty” at the beginning.

Seriously, you could hear a pin drop. It was........incredible. The visceral discomfort of the entire audience because of their own culpability in this narrative. Goddamn.

Okay, but is Wei Wuxian’s favourite musical “Title of Show”?

Okay, this is a very funny ask, but you have, unfortunately, hit up someone who is Very Passionate about musical theater, so Wei Wuxian’s favorite musical is objectively Hadestown. (Perfect mix of overwrought emotionalism and politics! Just saying!)
