bluapapilio: Coco from Witch Hat Atelier (wha coco)
[personal profile] bluapapilio
Summary: In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem.

I made the decision to start over from the beginning, I remember quite a bit but I don't want to miss a thing out of confusion, plus it's not a hardship at all. It will make a little weird when the anime comes out but ehh I can always watch that later.

Chapter 1: The beautiful art, the humor and silliness, the hints of more going on, ahhh this manga! I can't wait to see it animated!!! Gosh darn why is Qifrey so good-looking.

Qifrey thought of a certain group when he pondered the notebook and went back, but it was too late. :'(

If Coco can see the book again she'll be able to tell Qifrey which one she used to reverse the spell that froze her mom. According to the rules, Qifrey should've erased Coco's memories, but he's after the group who gave her the notebook.

Coco got what she wanted but sadly at a cost.

Chapter 2: Coco meets her fellow apprentices!

Tetia - Likes being thanked, spirited
Riche - Quiet
Agete - Stand-offish

Qifrey tells Coco the history of magic. It's the usual 'people misused it' thing, people's memory of magic was erased and only a select few could use and teach it. I wonder if the group who Coco got her journal from are part of the ones who misused magic and managed to escape?

Using magic on human's bodies is forbidden except for erasing memories.

Coco's magic book was replicated in the book tower but she can't get past the guardians until she gets stronger.

Qifrey imparting the message that there are kinder, gentler spells to make people happy and he wants her to know them. :')







Chapter 3: Coco learns the basic of spell-writing.
Quifrey: "Things you have memorized may soon fade, but words you've understood and spoken soak into your very body."
So true!

Shirahama is soo good at drawing character actions!

When Qifrey goes away for a few days, Agete makes her move - she makes Coco do the test before she's even made her first real spell.

We meet anther witch, Alaira. The people who gave Coco her notebook are called the 'Brimmed Hat Group'.

Chapter 4: Coco is too cute, imagining Qifrey's words of encouragement.

Speaking of cute, brushbug!!!

I'm so happy she figured out how to combine her own tailoring knowledge with magic. <3

Coco didn't tell on Agete and got her own set of witch robes, yippeee. :>

Chapter 5: Coco repaired Agete's shoes but can't get the glyph on the bottom right. Qifrey takes her to a magic art supply shop to get her own pen to see if that helps! Qifrey flying with the girls is so cute. And the brushbug hanging out with Riche.

Coco spots a Brimmed Hat in an alley. She meets the shop's owner Mr. Nornoa and sees his grandson, Tartar.

Ink is made of dead leaves from a silver tree.

The girls get teleported elsewhere when Coco runs after the Brimmed Hat. I wonder how long it took Shirahama to draw that dragon?? It's clear the Brimmed Hat is testing Coco, They call her 'their hope'.
bluapapilio: Iruma from Mairimashita! Iruma-kun (mairuma)
[personal profile] bluapapilio
Jee-Han Han is a normal high school student until he suddenly develops a skill that turns his world into a role-playing game. He can see the levels of people, effects and status values of items, even level up is possible!

But while Jee-Han is still wondering what that means, the difficulty level of his world increases and he has no choice but to level, learn new skills and slowly learn what his ability The Gamer is all about.

I remember a good amount of this but I've decided to go ahead and reread, not like it'll be a hardship! It looks like I read two seasons? I'm just gonna use what I can find as covers.

Episode 1: Han Jee-Han is suddenly able to see player levels above people's heads. His childhood friend Shin Sun-Il is level 25, whereas his other classmates are only 2-3.

Jee-Han has a special ability called 'The Gamer' that lets him see the world around him in game-like ways - levels, skills, quests etc. His mother's level shows ??.

Episode 2: Kwon Shi-Yun makes her appearance, she's a badass red-head who joins Jee-han's class. She's level 32.

Jee-Han accidentally entered an illusion barrier where a level 46 guy named Hwan Sung-Gon was attacking Shi-Yun.

Chapter 3-4: Jee-Han kills his first monster, a slime.

"He only gets mad and hits us if we do bad things." Yeah that's called abuse. If he can't use his words what good is he as a teacher?

Jee-Han realized Sun-Il must not be a normal human either and feels bummed he kept it secret from him.

Chapter 5-7: Jee-Han got good with a bat and is using it at as a weapon, on the way home he gets caught up in another illusion barrier this time with zombies!

Sung-Gon is there absorbing zombies into a red ball.

Jee-Han has been best friends with Sun-Il since primary school. "He's the only one I can trust right now."

Except Sun-Il thinks someone did something with his friends and attacks him;;

Jee-Han uses a "I am your father" joke to get Sun-Il to stop choking him lol

Jee-Han: 'But giving off such killing intent for me...makes me a bit happy. I was mad that he'd been hiding it 'til now, but he must've had his reasons.'

Chapter 8: Jee-Han is a natural ability user and their gifts are given directly from Gaia.

They can't use their powers to affect real people/the world badly or they get struck down. Illusion barriers let them use their powers without limitation.

Seeing how strong Sun-Il is, Jee-Han gets worried that Sun-Il doesn't need a guy like him. The look Sun-Il sends him screams "are you scared of me now? can you accept this new world/me? I'll try not to cry if the answer is no"

Jee-Han realizes he's the only friend Sun-Il has and how important that is.

Chapter 221: Xeno's face when he heard that Stanley is going to be unpetrified to be the pilot. :') It's like yay he's back but also he's going into space without me!





Are they any deniers left for this ship being canon at this point?

Aw, poor Ryuusui...

Chapter 222: Lol Senkuu speed-ran making a bunch of stuff including a microwave, washing machine and camera.

Taiju finally getting a cellphone is so cute.

Chapter 223: Stanley and Xeno's goodbyes. :')

Joel and Kaseki finally meet! And they're powerful working together, of course.

The hint that Gen is worried even while saying it's gonna be fine. 🥲

Chapter 35: Sakura's costume this time is so cool! The one on the cover is great too. If Tomoyo wasn't already rich, she'd be a billionaire teenager. Sweet moment between Tomoyo and Sakura.

Lol everyone talking about who likes mint chocolate chip and who doesn't. It's gotta be a shock to the system to take a bite of it out of nowhere.

Aw, Akizuki and Yukito are so cute together. Both foodies it seems.

Wait so Nadeshiko is an angel now?

So Nadeshiko's friend she met in England is the one who put a spell on that watch? Wait is she Akiho's mom?

Chapter 36-37: It's so cruel to make it so two sweethearts can't touch each other without getting hurt. 😭

Now Sakura has been shrunk?! What next. 😫

Chapter 38: Aw, Touya is always so gentle with the cards, he'd really be a good master.

Chapter 39: So someone was to be assigned to take Akiho traveling and to read in order to 'scribe a great many spells' and Kairo volunteered. He learned all sorts of things for her.

The lady who assigned the rabbit to watch over 'her Alice and also hers' is the time lady who was Nadeshiko's friend, right?

Chapter 215: Wait it's been three years? Or was Xeno already working on the engine before?

Welp first rocket launch failure.

Now it's been years of trying to get a rocket to work?! But they all look the same age as when they started...

Xeno is older than Stanley now I guess?

Chapter 216: Awww Xeno and Senkuu crying when their rocket worked.

Kohaku found Why-Man and Chrome and Suika are working hard to make the round-trip vessel before they leave. Kohaku will probably be one of the ones to go.

Chapter 217: Chrome wasn't going to make it but came up with a new idea - split the pieces of a ship and reassemble them in space. They did a vote and every single person chose to try it despite the risks. :')

Ohh they're setting up internet next for communication, since everyone will need to be working on this rocket!

Lmao both Kaseki AND Sai lost their clothes in excitement!

Chapter 218: I can't help but wonder what will happen to certain countries. I know Senkuu plans on reviving them all, but won't who he chooses to revive first shape the future of those countries? Or will they all just be happy go-lucky or just go right back to conflict when their leader/underbelly get revived?

First online meeting!! But how will they understand each other? Maybe they revived an interpreter. And screen-sharing to share the blueprints etc!

Chapter 219: That is so smart, they're going to petrify the ones who go on the rocket for the trip!

Aww, Taiju and Yuzuriha's reunion. <3

Senkuu remembered Byakuya's struggle with the water test and it encouraged him. 🥹

Tsukasa and Kohaku looking back on their first meeting! It must've been hard but Tsukasa endorsed Kohaku to be the warrior to go.

Chapter 220: They came up with some cool toys to counteract Medusa.

So they put Stanley in the cave they had Tsukasa in when he was on ice.

Touch-starvation fics

pi_rate: badge saying "i was here for beta" in reference to the beta testing stage of the fanfiction website ao3 (Default)
[personal profile] pi_rate posting in [community profile] recthething
As someone who absolutely loves touch-starvation fics (BEST blend of fluff and hurt/comfort) here are my favorites (NON explicit, short) from several fandoms:

The House on the Cerulean Sea
"A Better Hot Water Bottle"
Linus/Arthur
Hurt/comfort, sickfic, basically Linus has a stomach ache and Arthur uses his heat powers to help. Super cute and dialogue is very in character.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/81700936

MHA
Okay you guys get four here because I CAN'T CHOOSE LMAO

PLATONIC/PARENTAL:
"Scientifically proven and fact based"
https://archiveofourown.org/works/64019350/chapters/164229040
touchstarved!shinso & parental erasermic
I LOVE THIS FIC Y'ALL the dialogue is SO GOOD and so CUTE and has me kicking my feet EVERY TIME. Very accurately captures the feeling of not knowing how to ask for help even for smth "stupid."

"Shut my eyes (run away from it all)"
https://archiveofourown.org/works/37360591
touchstarved!izuku and parental mic
tbh I didn't think I would like this one as much as I did, basic premise is izuku asks mic for a hug and it becomes a regular thing, JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE guys it feels like it'll be pathetic and sappy and it is but it WORKS. Sometimes you're just in the mood for pathetic and sappy yk?

ROMANTIC:
"Under the Weather"
https://archiveofourown.org/works/60022777
oboro/aizawa (high school)
It's not too romantic if you're not a fan of the ship, it's just very centered on touch-starved aizawa. He gets adorably stubborn and cute and he's so soft but he tries to act tough kinda vibes. Good writing of internal monologue.

"resigned"
https://archiveofourown.org/works/60268267/chapters/153797866
erasermic
OBLIGATORY WARNING: 30K WORDS, UNFINISHED, INFREQUENT UPDATES (last one took 7 months)
but y'all it's WORTH IT. Only forced proximity fic I can find for erasermic, idiots in love, mutual pining. Basic premise is a quirk accident that forces them to stay within a certain distance of each other. And oh no! It keeps getting shorter! So they have to share a bed! And oh no! Hizashi hugs in his sleep! Aizawa is such a dork in this one guys. This is legitimately one of my all time favorite fics and I think about it all the time. 100000/10.

Death Note
"ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space"
https://archiveofourown.org/works/63630748
L/light
Cute, banter. A little ooc but any lawlight fic is gonna be ooc. "shut up and enjoy it" kinda vibes.

I had a great jjk one but apparently didn't bookmark it :(
That's all, hope y'all enjoy!

King Charles III England Coast Path

The King Charles III England Coast Path (KCIIIECP), originally and still commonly known as the England Coast Path, is a long-distance National Trail that follows the coastline of England. Opened on 19 March 2026 by King Charles III, the trail extends for 2,689 miles (4,328 km).

Sections of the English coast already had established walking routes, most notably the South West Coast Path. However, the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 required Natural England, under section 298, to create a continuous coastal path. The first section, along Weymouth Bay, opened in 2012. The walking route is the longest coastal trail in the world, and its total length increases further when considered alongside the Wales Coast Path
.


Those of you who live in or visit the United Kingdom may wish to explore this amenity.
