@citrusfields THAT IS MECORE thank you for thinking of me asdfghjk I choked on my water. I do also get quite annoyed when others assume I only love my dead men because of some adaptation or another....
shoutout to the army recruiter who called me when i was 17 to join the army and when i said i couldnt because men yelling at me and making me call them sir made me horny he said "that's fine??? wouldnt that mean you want to join MORE????" i think about him all the time

I'm very glad for the existence of alkakurei and I'm very happy with the expansion of eden lore. All in all I won't ever call charas ooc because I trust akira. But I feel, and this may be wrong, but it doesn't seem like akira as a writer ever meant for the story to go this far.
