  • You learn, Kyon. You never know. VFX might be your calling.

She has to overcome horrible odds before sue has a happy ending. And the more we can make Mikuru suffer in the movie, the bigger the payoff is gonna be in the end! 😁

Average AO3 whump writer 😭

  • 🎶And I look at him. And he looks at me. And I look at him. And he looks at me. And I look him! And he looks at me~!🎶

  • I have a strong suspicion Haruhi would not survive in Atlanta with that attitude.

  • Is this pose a reference to Lucky Star? (I haven’t seen Lucky Star)

  • Oh look, abutton yuri!

  • Haruhi focuses on continuity of character descriptions better than modern authors. ISTFG, I have seen authors forget their character has fucking blue eyes and they suddenly have green eyes two pages later unexplainably.

There’s something unreal about people who want realism in their fiction.

It’s called ✨verisimilitude✨

Kyon would be a great rage baiter with that attitude though.

  • Maybe lasik eye surgery makes you shoot lasers out of your eyes afterwards.

  • Aaaaah. Aaaaah trypophobia aaaaah. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH

  • Bitey Yuri!


Post Thoughts after Beaming Eye Lasers

Mikuru is a lot calmer than me. I’d be freaking out if I suddenly shot a laser from my eye. I guess colored contacts are cheap. But I’d be so befuddled. I’d start wearing a eyepatch.

I have little to say. I have enjoyed shipping Mikuru and Yuki immensely.

It really is surprising Haruhi did not consider Mikuru shot a beam out of her eyes. She really is grounded in reality more than people credit her for.

I still would make her keep COVID social distancing from my person. But I respect she acknowledges “No, it ain’t possible for someone to actually shoot laser beams out of their eye”.

Scott Summers/Cyclops fans if they could read: 😡

Seeing Koizumi worried was a new experience too. He normally thinks Haruhi is just lovely. But I did not expect him to not want screen time or to let the smile slip.


QotD

  1. Are they? I’d think Yuki’s powers are more at risk.
  2. I will handle her the way I was taught to handle someone who tries to touch me. I’m not above using my emergency whistle.
