- "Sometimes it's nice to just clear your mind and live in the moment. I haven't felt this way in ages." -

I don't think it's necessarily trying to convey that Azul experiencing bullying was "necessary" for him to become better. Because the inherent flaw with this dream is that it doesn't make Azul's peers not bullies; it just makes him someone they wouldn't bully.

He's athletic, captain of the school's sports teams, popular, and something that stood out to me is that during his first appearance in the dream, he's described as being so fast that the commentators couldn't even make him out at first. All of which are things that are NOT true in real life, and are in fact reasons he was bullied.

Azul was overweight as a child, lonely, unpopular and not naturally gifted at anything. And he's described multiple times as being a very slow swimmer, something he was also bullied for.

fukuzawa: i have some options, but i wanted to give anyone who wanted the role a chance

kunikida: well it should NOT be dazai

dazai: what~ id make a great liaison

atsushi: if its dazai-san, one way or the other, we're gonna end up in a war with the mafia

dazai: ill have u know i have great pull with mori

atsushi: i dont know who that is

kunikida: plus that makes it worse

fukuzawa: atsushi and kunikida are right. becuz of mori's prior interests, this offer does not extend to kyouka, yosano, and dazai.

yosano: u wont see me arguing

fukuzawa: though, i will add, most likely the liaison will cooperate with lower levels of the mafia -- the highest you'll end up meeting is an executive.

atsushi: ohh like akutagawa's hat friend

dazai: well~ i guess its nice to not have to deal with the stupid slug

ranpo: you're not fooling anyone

junichiro: maybe atsushi could go? if you want to i mean. i mean, you just work with the mafia a lot--

atsushi: ugh, if i have to

fukuzawa: atsushi was who i was thinking of too

kyouka: i don't know...

naomi: kyouka-chan, atsushi is very resilient, you don't have to worry about him

kyouka: more than worry... its just that... atsushi calls mori-san akutagawa's boss

atsushi: seriously who is mori and why do you guys keep on bringing him up

kunikida: ah

kunikida: ive noticed this too... atsushi seems to be having trouble with names

dazai: quick atsushi, name the three promiment figures fo the black lizard, a team you work with constantly, second only to akutagawa

atsushi:

atsushi: akutagawa's old guy co-worker, akutagawa's sister, akutagawa's annoying coworker

kunikida:

dazai: pfft

ranpo: he might end our alliance, but i feel like itd be funny. so i vote atsushi

fukuzawa: we are not voting.

fukuzawa: but atsushi, please do work on this

kenji: maybe ur friend akutagawa can help!!!!

fukuzawa: thats a good idea. atsushi?

atsushi: yessir

*later at a meeting*

atsushi: the agency asked me to deliver this information--

akutagawa, straightfaced, standing next to him" --chuuya-san--

atsushi, continuing without as much of a blink: --i hope--

akutagawa: --mori-san--

atsushi: --allows for us to collaborate

chuuya:

atsushi, leaving the building: heyyy---

akutagawa, walking beside him: --you fool tachihara--

Kalim’s mom: what of the seven year old Viper boy?

I need a yuu that is scared of sand because they get triggered from leonas overblot

I need a yuu that is always careful not to trigger Azul

I need a yuu that is scared to ask jamil for help

I need a yuu that always compliments vil and tells him hes the best so he doesnt get upset

I need a yuu that never talks about future dreams or family in front of idia

I want a yuu that doesnt wanna go back home anymore because of the fear of malleus overblotting

I mean, taking his dream into account, I do think he genuinely wishes for Jamil to be happy and free. The problem is that he has a very unrealistic version of events in his head of what will happen once Jamil gets that freedom. It's like he thinks that if Jamil gets to live a free life, then he will suddenly just be happy with the position he's always been in, the only difference being that he will now choose to be there, of his own free will.

Kalim's "ideal" version of Jamil is one where the role he plays in Kalim's life is the exact same, he's just genuinely happy doing it.

He claims he wants to be friends with the real Jamil - Jamil with all the nasty parts included - but (as I believe he gets called out for in book 7), he can't actually comprehend anything changing. And how could he?

Kalim isn't stupid, nor is he actually just incompetent. We see that he is fully capable of learning just like anyone else - he even cooks for himself in that one vignette with Ruggie. He CAN learn to live on his own, but he's been prevented at every turn from doing so. Jamil has been by his side his whole life, and if ever he tried something for the first time by himself and something went wrong (as it usually does when you are learning a task for the first time), Jamil would have received the blame for it and Kalim would've practically never had to try his hand at that thing ever again.

I mean, that event where he mentions a time where he said he wanted to go camping and his family bought an entire mountain and set up a tent for him to stay in is a perfect example of how he was raised. He didn't learn anything because they never let him. It's like forced incompetence.

savanaclaw blowing sand/dirt into someone's (read: lilia's) eyes

pomefiore using a gentle breeze to fix someone's hair or clothes

ignihyde fixing a game-breaking glitch in someone's game

diasomnia playing chess with its students

octavinelle subtly moving something that would've tripped a lounge waiter with a heavy tray

scarabia subtly pointing a student towards the right direction in the textbook they're using

but also more... uncanny things

the lights in ignihyde slowly pulsing, like a heartbeat, or breathing

random howls or roars in savanaclaw despite none of its students making such noises at the moment

the rose maze in heartslabyul rearranging itself, leading countless students to get lost despite swearing that they know the layout

mirrors in pomefiore sometimes reflecting movement that those beholding them never made, or momentarily reflecting people that aren't present at all

music echoing through the halls of scarabia with no true source

human, and only human, students of octavinelle swearing that they hear singing coming from outside

random alluring lights and humming in diasomnia, tempting students to the high spires of the dorm or the depths of the basement

ft. Diasomnia

Context: Crowley forced a bunch of them to have a picture and call it a family potrait... The reason is to be unknown but what everyone can gather through conversation and overheard conversation is that, The headmaster wants to keep up appearances earances and picked the closest group of students in a dorm

Other dorms: Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, Diasomnia

Commentary:

Last winter, after reading Leona's dream, I wanted Baymax to play the therapist for him cause his line broke my heart... I drew other stuff but didn't finish them back them.

Now that Baymax event is coming, it was the opportunity to finish them :3.

It’s Key. And he’s determined to carry this contract out because he was promised a return to power if he helped out a follower… no matter how odd her terms were.

Rae may have been drunk and pissed off at her ex when she summoned him, and as much as she wants to avoid incurring the wrath of a god by rejecting him, she can’t deny that this is fantastic inspiration for her next piece.

Hijinks ensue as she tries to get him to leave by more unconventional means, while he just keeps going along because he also needs something from her, but won’t admit it.

I call it
