Sakusa Brainrot

Sakusa brainrot

A/N: I’m bored and am devoted to one man so here is a collection of random Sakusa headcanons. 

Warnings: all over the place, eczema mention? ocd mention?, kinda self-indulgent in some places

My mans suffers from eczema on his back and sometimes his cheeks, and his back gets really itchy with shirts so he has researched specific materials that he gets all his shirts in

I said this in my ‘how they sleep’ post but he loves!! back!! scratches!! when cuddling (except for when his eczema is appearing ofc)

Ik its canon that he likes dogs but I feel like he likes cats too

Expert at head-cradling, holds and strokes the back of your head when you hug/cuddle :’ )

Loves to do chores, not just cleaning, he loves folding and especially ironing laundry (he lives for the smell)

Speaking of domestic scents, ascends if there are clean sheets on his bed and they’re all fresh-smelling

If you are the type to get freckles in the summer that fade during the winter, he always hopes that they stay for a little longer

If you are the type to apologise for everything, he thinks its really cute and sweet of you, but if you ever apologise for accidentally making him uncomfortable when he’s being germaphobic, he’ll genuinely get mad at you for ever apologising for something he claims is his fault

Also hates that he feels this way about germs too, constantly wanting to be better for everyone around him

Not only hates his germaphobic behaviours for the sake of his loved ones, but because he feels that he misses out on fun activities that he’d normally be repulsed by, such as going to the beach (sand) or theme parks (touching ride handles etc)

Most of his germaphobia is a result of ocd

Once felt so unclean that he scrubbed his skin raw :( , definitely wasn’t good with his eczema, he was in pain for days with carpetburn-like wounds

A/N: Wow that got a bit angsty, back to the fluffy stuff

When he’s jealous, he gets extremely pouty and it’s really cute

Drinks milk straight like Kageyama, Atsumu hates him for it, but he genuinely doesn’t see the issue (I don’t either it’s ok)

This might just be me being self-indulgent, but I think he likes thick girls :”)

Definitely doesn’t mind extroverts deep down, but in the long run, he just moulds better with introverts and would end up with one

Kiss his moles please, he’ll melt

Dresses like someone straight out of the dark academia aesthetic, idk he just gives off that vibe

Remembers the exact type of tablets you like taking, if you struggle to swallow the large ones, he’ll get small ones, if you don’t like that lingering taste on your tongue, knows to get sugar-coated

His strongest subject in school is english, his worst is science

He dabbles in a bit of art, simple sketching and painting, also loves when you’re an artist too

If he were to play an instrument, he’d play the cello 

Loves skincare and has this major routine that he does every night and invites you to do it with him on little self-care dates

Atsumu caught him chuckle at one of his jokes and he’s never been able to live it down since

If he’s overwhelmed in a crowd, he’ll follow you around like a lost puppy or hold onto your hand and you’ll have to drag him everywhere

Back at the start of your relationship before he was comfortable to hold your hand without asking, his way of asking to link fingers would be to tug on your sleeve or your shirt

His hair is the fluffiest when he blowdries it after a shower, and it is in the most perfect but messy ringlets at the same time

A/N: That’s all the headcanons I can think of for now, there may be a part 2 sometime because I live for this man :)

good morning/afternoon/night everyone,

today we will be thinking about kiyoomi holding his tiny newborn baby in those big ol’ arms of his, a towel thrown over his shoulder as he gently bottlefeeds them, grinning down softly at his baby

This is so cute I’m obsessed

right where you want me (eren yeager)

↯ pairings: eren yeager x (fem) reader

↯ genres and warnings: more modern au, fluff, eren is a baby but i think we all knew that

↯ word count: 1.2k

↯ notes: i saw @eremiie​’s post which reminded me of a draft i had, which resulted in editing this for eren. pls enjoy one thousand words of me, once again, pushing my quality time is eren’s love language agenda. 

“And then Jean said that he didn’t have aim assist on, but I swear he’s a fucken liar,” Eren rambles, completely in a world of his own as you rub sudsy circles into your face.

He’s been following you around since you came home from school, chattering about anything and everything that happened to him during his day off. It’s not an unusual occurrence; whether he knows it or not, Eren has a habit of hovering around you when he sees you for the first time in a while. Particularly when you’ve been out all day, and he’s been home (see: freeloading in your apartment) waiting for you to return. 

He’ll babble and follow you as you settle into your night routine like a puppy. A very loyal, very tall, very overgrown puppy. It usually carries on until you’re ready to shower, but today Eren seems to feel extra clingy; having followed you all the way to the bathroom, where he currently sits on top of the closed toilet seat, telling you about Jean and Connie and the details of their match earlier while you wash your face. 

You don’t even think Eren notices that you’re taking longer than usual; or, that, subsequently, he’s been talking for longer than usual. You know how much he hates to be home alone or bored, but you didn’t know that the result of a few hours of limited contact would be this. 

It’s cute. But you’re curious to see how far he’ll go; or, rather, how long he’ll stay. You think he might stalk you into the shower if given the opportunity. So, with a knowing smile, you pat your face dry, and decide to test your theory. 

“—Then, of course, Connie’s dumbass died. Armin was able to revive him, but he couldn’t play long after that, because he had to go to his lab.”

You hum, pulling the curtain back and twisting the knob to turn on the shower and adjusting the water to your preference, “Right, but I thought you said Armin wasn’t that good at this game.”

Eren huffs, bending his legs to sit criss-cross on top of the toilet now. You have to refrain from chuckling when you take a look at him—completely unaware of his size in comparison to the small porcelain underneath him. He looks like a child. You would take a picture of him if you had your phone with you. 

“He’s not,” Eren sighs, “But he’s more fun to play with than Jean, because at least Armin’s not a cheater.”

“But if the game comes with an aim assist option, is it really cheating?”

“Obviously, babe,” Eren gesticulates, hands flailing around him, “Everybody knows that you’re not as good as you say you are if you have to use the assist—it’s like, like… like people who say parallel parking is easy just because their car has one of those automatic sensor thingies.”

Ah, right.

Keep reading

Don’t ya love it when tumblr deletes a draft you were working on just an hour ago 😡

i think...

...when you get out if the shower, sakusa loves playing with your wet hair

he need your smell like seriously he need it he always when you're both showered and alone has his nose on you. on your hair, your neck, his face on your chest when you’re cuddling, he doesn't even know how he could even live without your smell, before meeting you

Well said

I love the bittersweet ending, and I think it truly suits where the story went from the end of season 2/3 - it was no longer black and white “kill the titans to save humanity”.

To be honest the worst part of this whole thing is how the fandom is misreading the characters and being selfish about the ending. No, the ending is not going to satisfy everyone, but be grateful for the incredible story that has been built up over eleven damn years. Being so rude and selfish over an ending that doesn’t suit your taste isn’t going to change the author’s vision. Isayama created something beyond what anyone else had come up with in its time.

Instead of whining over one chapter, say

Thank you, Isayama

What Was It All For?

Or, Hamliet’s review of SnK 139: the Final Chapter.

Disclaimer: this isn’t intended to dunk on people who love/dislike things I love/dislike in the review. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and feelings thereof. 

That said, the ending is pretty in line with my predictions. While I’d give the final chapter an 8/10, the series as a whole gets a 9/10, because it nailed its themes. I don’t think endings can ever please anyone, but this is a solid one narratively. It is bittersweet: there is hope, but also pain, cruelty and beauty. It isn’t perfect, but the story was never set up to end with a fairy tale eucatastrophe. It was also never set up to end with a nihilistic ending. Whether the ending feels more bitter to you or more sweet depends on particular attachments, and it’s okay to feel how you want to feel.

The reason I personally find it satisfying is because the text did not suddenly swing a way it wasn’t heading all along: the message and themes and majority of the arcs were very, very clear, throughout the manga for the most part but especially this final arc. In fandoms, especially in long-running series, people can get attached to their theories and headcanons at the expense of ignoring the actual text. I’ve been guilty of this myself too, but I don’t think SnK pulled any last minute switches (yes it dropped some things; I’ll touch on that below).

About the conflict not being solved…

There is hope now. Paradis does have allies. Like, that’s Hizuru. 

The fact that the conflict is not solved is at admittedly disappointing, because I’d like it to be, and yet thematically better that it is not solved. The framing of the genocide has always been wrong, but my one qualm has always been that if the genocide actually led to peace, then… the framing would be a bit whacked. I thought this would be explained away by saying the cost wasn’t worth it, that it was a pyrrhic victory. Instead, Isayama’s doubling down and saying not only is the cost not worth it, it solved nothing and set the stage for potential future conflict, which is probably the best way he could have ended this. 

They have only to work towards peace slowly, with lots of risks, but it’s the only option. That’s part of what freedom means: freedom to make choices, good and bad. Eren’s attempted shortcut only hurt. 

There are never guarantees. 

About Ymir…

The attachment she feels towards King Fritz is framed as a negative thing and tt isn’t romanticized. However, I feel this wasn’t fleshed out well and that we needed more build up to this, but it’s not the end of the world (OR IS IT? sorry I couldn’t resist).

Basically, I felt it was hamfisted and a bit told, not shown. I think Ymir’s story suffered the most this ending, which sucks because she’s important to it. I don’t think the fact that Ymir loved King Fritz is inherently problematic–feelings towards abusers are very, very complex (yes, you can love or be in love with an abuser, and it doesn’t justify what they do to you, really). I think the series needed a chapter or two to explore this better. 

About Historia…

Along with Ymir, this is the biggest complaint I have about this final arc. I think we should have gotten the rest of that conversation in 131–as I’ve said before, I think the point of that conversation was that Eren could not stop his friends from making a decision he did not like. However, this needed to be emphasized more, especially given the context of what that choice was and its disturbing implications.

My sister commented that the pregnancy is likely intended to be Historia choosing a pregnancy to maintain her life instead of being fed to Zeke as a way of fulfilling her promise to Ymir: to live instead of martyring herself. This is probably the case, but personally, I think Isayama really goofed with the framing. Historia seemed miserable, was even commented to not be taking care of herself, and while that can be explored with nuance (sometimes choices aren’t what we want), it wasn’t, so Isayama messed up here too. 

As for early leaks suggesting she was just fine with genocide, it’s actually much more nuanced in the translation. Her actions here don’t seem exactly OOC given her declaration about not caring about the world, but it needed more exploration. 

I don’t like that she didn’t get to see freckled Ymir again like everyone else did. Even a panel of her appearing as she delivered the baby or something–c’mon, Yams. 

I’m going to headcanon Historia named Baby Girl Ymir. 

About Mikasa…

I love that Mikasa is the hero in the end, even more so than Armin.

Personally, I see that last panel as Eren sending a memory before he died as a way to tell Mikasa it is okay to move on, and the bird flying away as a sign Mikasa will indeed rise and move on despite Eren always being a part of her. That said, I personally would have preferred to see Mikasa be rewarded for choosing to kill Eren, at least by giving her a family and/or showing her in Hizuru. But again, unlike the early leaks which framed it as Mikasa abandoning everyone and being miserable forever, the others are on their way to her. She will live, and she does have a family on their way to her. 

About Hizuru, her mark wasn’t fully explored, which is one of the dropped points, but not one with a lot of consequence. 

The implication is vague enough, but I liked Jean combing his hair and it being either for Pieck or Mikasa ;) 

About Eren…

I don’t like Armin thanking Eren for destroying the world, because it doesn’t fit with the rest of the framing, but otherwise the story hit the framing well. 

The takes that Eren is OOC aren’t textually supported at all. Eren has never, ever been rational. Like, find me ONE place in the entire story where he’s been rational, and where he hasn’t wanted to escalate from 0-100 real quick. He’s always been a hothead with a child’s black and white view of the world. Historia called him out on it, Levi did, everyone did. Throughout the story, it was a recurring challenge. 

Eren is a big baby who has always been prone to violent outbursts (I mean he killed people at age 9 with no remorse and at age 10 went up to soldiers who were drinking on the job and screamed at them), and it’s tragic. Yet it’s why Eren has always stood out as a protagonist–because he’s allowed to be extremely flawed instead of a role model. And it sounds like I’m dunking on him, but I’m not, because this chapter reminding me of what I loved about Eren: he is a terrified, traumatized, self-loathing child. 

I wish he had let Mikasa hug him. Good grief, she loves him so much, and he needed that love so desperately.

The point of his character is that it is tragic: he’s stuck in Neverland. It’s why he’s such a good character. I wish he had been able to grow up, but he didn’t and he chose not to. He chose to die; this was a sort of suicide. If I were in his place, I hope I would choose better, but who really knows? SnK doesn’t encourage us to condemn, so I don’t say this to condemn him.

About fandom… 

It is really intriguing to me that Reddit Dudebros are raging that Isayama made Eren “an incel” as if their theories about Eren causing the rumbling all to protect Historia and the baby weren’t incel-esque? Like, it’s not that Mikasa wouldn’t sleep with him (she loved him), but instead that Eren could not be vulnerable enough to accept that love. He was too scared, too selfish and too selfless at the same time in that paradoxical human way.

Vulnerability is the opposite of toxic masculinity. It is brave, far braver than going into battle, and Eren was too scared, too ashamed to look Mikasa in the eyes, even though Armin begged him to keep trying.

She would have forgiven him. She would have run with him. 

Honestly, Eren is a Reddit Dudebro. That’s the point. They were reading themselves into Eren–as they were meant to–but failed to comprehend the framing and themes of the series, because they’re used to stories catering to their fantasies. They expected Eren to validate them, but instead Eren was written to call them out on their toxicity, entitlement, and lack of actually creating meaningful change. But also like Eren, they do have some reasons to feel scared, feel traumatized, and are genuinely suffering–but it doesn’t excuse their inflicting that suffering on others. They are still human. 

The beauty of Eremika is that even if Eren was a nightmare for most of the world, he was loved. Even if he couldn’t accept that love, he was loved. Even if he hurt and lashed out and was the worst villain in history for no reason other than “I felt like it,” he was loved. 

And it was that loved that saved the world. It was that love that made him existing in this world worth it. We know that Mikasa would never wish she had never met Eren. We know she would and will love him unconditionally, forever. Even if she moves on, she will love him. 

For Mikasa, despite the pain he caused her, the fact that he was born into the world was enough, and without her love, the world never would have been saved. It’s complex and hard to articulate exactly what I mean, but essentially SnK is saying Eren still deserved to be born and despite his cruelty and evil towards the end, he was loved, and that was beautiful. 

It’s not a popular message, this callout of toxic masculinity, nor the undercurrent underneath it, which challenges humanity to love and find beauty in the middle of cruelty, and asserts that no one, no matter how horrible a person in the world’s eyes, has a wasted life just because they’re here. 

About Armin and Annie, Gabi and Falco, and Levi:

I never thought Armin and Annie’d be canon, and now Armin’s out here saving his father-in-law. Cherry on top. Annie and Gabi are kind of foils to Eren in that Annie is very selfish and Gabi is very ideologically-focused, but they are able to overcome their flaws, get positive growth, and deserve their happy endings. I also loved Gabi throwing Falco into an embrace. Levi, too, deserved this. 

Overall:

Anyways, I found the ending beautifully existentialist, far from perfect and worthy of criticism, sure, but highly satisfying on a thematic level. SnK was my first manga and anime ever, so really, it’s a major part of the reason I have this blog. 

Thank you, Isayama,
