You can certainly follow along as the rb chain is being posted, but if you couldn't don't worry :D the final chain would be reblogged to jshk community!

Some beauty and the beast style dorks in love :)

As the resident Minamoto brothers guy, yes, yes he did

Fun fact! When Teru was younger he used to gaslight Kou into thinking he was a bird

Still thanking Lerche for these crumbs thank you Lerche

Akane and Kou interactions animated who else cheered

Ok actually I'm free today so I might do one with tbhk characters and post it here for proof of concept?

hey ns you still gonna do the hunger games thing now that you arent shadowbanned i yearn for blood

Ykw I keep losing twt moot battles where I promised it so I just might do it here instead (clearly twt doesn't want it smh /j)

I'm still unsure on how the format's gonna be though :'D I guess reblog chain would work? I also need to check if the hunger games simulator accept Tumblr image links for the images

Idk sometimes low self esteem and self hatred make you believe irrational things

I really don't understand this detail, which is fundamental in essence, that Aoi believes that Akane loves only her image.

This is basically a normal detail, it can work well, but in the context of the canonical Aoikane, who have been friends since they were three, live window to window, go to school together, in short, have known each other very closely for all these twelve years of their lives, almost their entire life, where Akane physically could not help but notice some of Aoi's personal qualities, it's strange to say such a thing...?

Aren't they so close? And how could he selectively not notice? And Aoi really believes in it, but I don't. "Image" is so much for the outer circle, for those who do not looking behind the screen, to Aoi's home, to her everyday life, where Akane was all this time as her closest friend and almost a brother, lol, considering how they grew up. Could underage Aoi really pretend so well in front of him? It's not noticeable from the flashbacks. Then where did it come from?They have spent a lot of time canonically again, because if they would have communicated much less, it would have been considered as "you don't know me well enough", but they did communicate. Even if less in recent years, but still not quite no, and this will not erase their long-standing acquaintance

tempted to add another chapter to my koukane fic...

the silliness... it compels me...

Idk what's funnier the fact that Teru had the exact number of confessions to tell to Kou in the first place or the fact that Kou memorized it to the 4th fucking digit

You guys think Tiara ever gave Kou a mother's day card

100 Dialogue Tags You Can Use Instead of “Said”

For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words). 

1. Neutral Tags 

Straightforward and unobtrusive dialogue tags: 

Added, Replied, Stated, Remarked, Responded, Observed, Acknowledged, Commented, Noted, Voiced, Expressed, Shared, Answered, Mentioned, Declared.

3. Emotive Tags 

Emotional dialogue tags:

Exclaimed, Shouted, Sobbed, Whispered, Cried, Hissed, Gasped, Laughed, Screamed, Stammered, Wailed, Murmured, Snarled, Choked, Barked.

4. Descriptive Tags

10. Surprise Tags

Shock-inducing dialogue tags:

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)
