MODERN MIZU THOUGHTS PT. 2

As promised, some more various little headcanons and scenarios for a modern-day Mizu (and everyone else).

Let me know if you want more! I have lots of stuff half-finished.

This one is a little longer! Has some Mizu fucking shit up but also being soft.

Part one has some context, but most of this should make sense without it.

TW: canon-typical violence (Mizu is gonna Mizu)

RINGO

The first time you met him, soon after Mizu moved in, you came home to find this stranger cooking in your kitchen

He greeted you very cheerily, chattering right away about how he was making dinner and there was plenty to share

You thanked him awkwardly. You were…surprised and disappointed to find out Mizu had a boyfriend, given your interest, but hey… you probably didn't have a shot anyway, you tell yourself sadly.

You meet her coming down the hall, and she greets you with the usual stoic grunt-and-nod.

You start to tell her that her boyfriend seems nice, you know, general small talk.

The second the word boyfriend leaves your mouth, her head whips around

“My WHAT”

Ringo’s voice echoes down the hall from the kitchen, “I’m WHAT”

TAIGEN AND AKEMI

Akemi is an heiress that is 100% planning to go no-contact with her family but is playing their game for now so they'll pay for her degree

Pre-law 100%, this girl could argue/cajole/convince you out of your own name

She's one of those types who can run on the treadmill for hours while looking fab

Fashion icon on campus, but a total girls-girl that loves to give advice and encouragement

Do not party with her, this girl will get you PLASTERED

Taigen was still Mizu's childhood bully

Picked on the orphan to make himself feel better about his shitty home life

Eiji transferred Mizu out of that school QUICK once he officially could, so she didn't have to deal with him for very long

They lost contact at that point, to Mizu’s relief

He's at the university on an athletics scholarship

Saw Mizu training in the gym

(This is why she needed that yard of yours)

He is the champ of the school team and thought since she wasn't on the team, she must be a rookie

She'd be an easy win, and a way to show off for the gym bunnies

She whooped his ass then and there, naturally, in front of the entire gym

And then nearly switched universities because fuck dealing with him on campus

Thankfully Akemi has him on a bit more of a leash in the modern day and HAS dragged him to therapy

He's still an egotistical asshole, but he's TRYING, OK (-Akemi)

They still bicker horrendously but there is a tiny, tiny bit of mutual respect there

Taigen hasn't stopped trying to drag Mizu onto the school team, so she still tries to avoid him

Mizu privately thinks Akemi needs to get her head checked out

But she does approve of Akemi's effect on him in general

She wasn't thrilled to know that you have shared a few classes with Akemi and are now friends

This means there might be the prospect of more Taigen in her future

Great.

Are you sure you really like Akemi as a friend that much?

JOB COMPLICATIONS

So as I said, due to her possible fathers being involved in organized crime, she has also gotten quite comfortable in those circles

She “works” odd hours, or is sometimes gone for a few days

You aren't about to get nosy. You asked her once what she did for work and she told you it was “nothing interesting” with a very clear drop it expression

Message received

She has been rooming with you for quite a while, long enough for you to call each other friends, when someone, somewhere in the wrong circle gets wind of her home address

You hear a knock at the door one evening while Mizu is out at “work”. Quiet, but insistent.

You aren't expecting anyone...but maybe a surprise visit, or Mizu forgot her keys?

Instead, a very clean, erudite man in a suit says he's here to see The Onryō

What

You make politely confused noises at him, saying he must have the wrong address, and he smiles back at you with cold, dead eyes.

“I know he's here.” His voice is still serene, icy. “It won't take long. If you could go get him, please.”

Ok, you've had enough-

He catches the door before you can slam it, and oh. He's stronger than he looks.

And oh- ... that's a gun.

You back away into the apartment, and he follows, shutting the door behind him.

He continues to threaten and demand, always in a quiet, even tone, as you continue to back away.

You're terrified, of course, because you've never dealt with anything even remotely like this

You keep trying to shout over him that you have no idea who he's looking for

Of course your phone is on the kitchen counter, nowhere nearby, utterly useless

You're again trying to explain, in a shaking tone, that you genuinely have no clue what’s going on when

Running footsteps

The door bursts open with enough force to leave it bouncing off the wall. The man whirls away from you, gun whipping around–

He barely has time to gasp before Mizu is on him.

Can humans even move that fast?

All you see is a flash of metal and

Ssshnk-THUNK

He folds like laundry, crumpling to the floor.

You didn't get a good look at whatever she did to the front of him when he turned, it all happened while you were flinching, but there is a lot of blood starting to stain the carpet around him.

You're frozen, staring at the twitching shape.

“Don't look at him, come on.”

Mizu grabs you and starts to lead you by the shoulders away from him and back down the hallway towards the bedrooms

She's still in get-shit-done mode, but trying not to scare you.

As she's leading you, you start frantically trying to explain what happened, babbling about what he said.

You feel her fingers tighten on your shoulders, but she says nothing.

You've never seen that look in her eyes before, and you thought you'd seen her at her most stoic.

“Wait– wait, my phone is in the kitchen– Mizu, the police, we gotta call–”

“I'll call. I'll take care of it all. Just go back where you don't have to see it.”

Sitting on your bed, you can hear her quiet voice on the phone to someone, you assume the police emergency line.

Soon, you can hear the murmurs of multiple male voices.

Ah, the police. They'll probably want your statement…but… you reach for the doorknob and stop.

Something in your gut urges caution, and you ease the door open cautiously, silently, just a crack

… Those definitely aren't police.

Thankfully, their backs are to you, and only Mizu looks up at the door.

You make eye contact with her and shut the door again very quickly, your mind racing.

Mizu is trying to stay in focus-mode while she deals with the problem, but the back of her mind is freaking.

Are you going to hate her now? What if you turn on her like M*k*o?

Her gut cramps at the thought of you seeing her as a monster.

She should just leave but she doesn't want to

Back in the room, Your heart is pounding.

So many dots are suddenly connecting. Should you be worried about this? Are you in danger? Is she going to…

After a while, you hear more doors closing, then… water running?

Mizu, with wet hair and fresh clothing, knocks, saying the coast is clear.

She's SO nervous, afraid to hear you scream at her to go away

When you don't, she cautiously peers in, still expecting to get something hurled at her head

Strangely enough, you just look relieved to see her. Maybe you're still in shock?

For you, every doubt and worry leaves your mind as soon as you see her.

The man on the floor is gone, leaving only a towel covering the bloodstain.

Mizu says very quickly that she'll take care of that too, that you don't need to deal with anything.

She's still nervous, still waiting for you to call her a monster, or demand answers.

You can tell she’s watching you.

You just nod.

You're a college student that just watched a guy get sliced open with a sword. What do you even say to that?

Should you be scared of her? You're not.

But you're still a bit disturbed by the violence.

When she realizes that you're not going to freak out at her or scream at her to leave, she quietly asks if you need some space?

You shake your head quickly at that. You can still see the gun pointed at you, the man’s unflinching gaze.

You feel much safer with her around.

She's relieved, but tries hard not to show it

She carefully suggests that you both spend time somewhere other than the living room for tonight.

She's uncharacteristically soft with you, for her usual standards, but she's also way out of her depth.

She shoos you off to take a shower even though you're clean, and calls Ringo in a hushed voice while you're in there, demanding advice on how to comfort someone

When you emerge, you’re hustled into her room with some water and easy-to-eat snacks

(She's honestly starving after her job but feels bad eating like it's nothing, like it didn't bother her)

(It didn't)

She gathers some extra blankets and things from her room, then sits quietly on the bed next to you, letting you watch stupid things on her laptop.

You don't think you're going to be able to sleep, but she makes a strangely soothing presence next to you, and you drift off eventually

When you wake up, she's still next to you, awake, and looks exhausted.

The towel is gone and the carpet is clean

She just tells you, very seriously, that nothing like that is ever going to happen again, she'll make sure of it

By the look in her eyes, you believe her

She's jumpy for several days after that, checking the windows regularly and watching you strangely every time you’re on a call

You're jumpy, too, but she doesn't complain when you hover around her almost continually, constantly getting underfoot.

If anything, it seems to calm whatever worries are going on in her head

When she doesn't find herself arrested, or asked to move out, she seems to relax completely

This incident clearly tells her that she can trust you, because suddenly it's like you've passed a sacred gate of trust

Now she's occasionally coming home with a little bit of blood on her

Sometimes she sports some nicks and slices

You never thought you would be googling how to do stitches but what are crushes friends for?

You haven't actually gotten up the courage to ask what's up with all of this, yet. It just seems…unwise.

Not that you're afraid she'll hurt you, weirdly enough,

but despite the danger that you're now aware of, you really don't want her to get spooked and move out.

You don't know this, but she decides not to move out because she fears that more men might still come by, thinking that she still lives there, and clearly ignorance didn't save you this time.

You also don't know this, but this is the threshold where her feelings go from a passing crush that she represses, to something she is actually considering how to safely approach...

She's impressed with how you handled that, as a person who isn't used to violence

She'd never pursue something with someone while they were unaware, but since you know a little now…

(Meanwhile, she doesn't know that, after the shock had worn off, you found the whole thing kind of hot…)

[fernslivers]

Modern! Mizu…

Would ask you on a date but doesn’t have a car so you have to walk 40 minutes to get to the restaurant

MOVIE NIGHT IMAGINES

Hhhhhhhhhhhhh this is my first time trying to write spice publicly so I hope it's ok 🥹 I'm so nervous to post thissss

I might try writing a few out into Drabbles in the future if anybody has stuff that they want to see~

SPICY stuff below the cut! TW; horror movie stuff, mentions of predator-prey dynamics, etc.

The three levels of Mizu's Movie Preferences:

Level 1 : HORROR

Tells everyone she likes horror because she figures that's what is expected from her.

She does like horror, but she also knows the vibe she gives off screams it

If she's in a group where she doesn't know everyone well, she'll put on some kind of mainstream slasher like Scream

But you can absolutely trust that if there's some really terrifying foreign or indie title that will give you nightmares, she knows about it

She's observant; trust that she'll know at a glance which type of horror you can handle and which you can't

If she doesn't like you, this will be used against you

Generally not big on the trigger-heavy horrors, like films that exploit women. They don't scare her, they just don't appeal to her

Loves any horror where the victims of the monster/slasher absolutely deserve it

Loves the excuse to indulge in blood and violence without actually hurting anyone–it's a socially acceptable outlet that doesn't come with the risk of arrest

Admittedly, also loves how easily you flinch, it's cute

Meanwhile she's watching it with her usual stoic stony-eyed glare

Honestly at first you even questioned whether she was enjoying herself at all

For a while, the friend group had a running competition to see if they could get her to jump

Never happened, though she'll privately admit Akemi's choices almost got her once or twice

The competition stopped after Taigen’s scream got a complaint from the neighbors

NSFW:

She still watches them with you even after you've unlocked the lower levels, though it's a very different vibe

She's always liked the excuse to watch you flinch and gasp, even now that she can make that happen other ways

She can't help it. You're just really cute when you're all wide-eyed and scared

“You're too easily startled. You need training. Every time you jump, you're taking something off.”

You try, you really do. It's adorable that you're still trying to behave well even though you both want you to fail.

Which you do.

Ok, maybe she slid her fingers up a little higher along your thigh at just the right points, but you still flinched.

Now you're all out of clothing. Not any better at handling the scares?

Here, she'll help:

If you're riding the strap, you can just keep your back to the screen. Better, right, baby?

Oh. Tsk. You still flinched at that loud noise. Clearly she's not fucking you hard enough.

There you go. If you're screaming, you can't hear the screams in the movie. All fixed.

Just know for sure that if she puts on a horror movie, you're not going to be able to feel your legs in the morning

Nothing gets her fired up quite like watching a bunch of arrogant, idiotic assholes get hunted down by a killing machine

Definitely gives her ideas for predator/prey roleplay

Turning all the lights off and setting you loose to try and get away, your legs still wobbly from riding her half the movie

Looking like a scared deer, stumbling around in the dark.

Do you know how loud you are? All she has to do is close her eyes and quietly stalk towards the heavy breathing and quiet whimpers

It doesn't matter how good the hiding place is, you will hear those footsteps getting closer and closer

You look damn good trying to hide from her, although you'd look even better all covered in blood

(Other people's, obviously)

No Final Girl is getting away from her, not in this movie

Not that you're complaining.

Level 2 : ACTION

After you've gotten closer, she might admit to having a thing for cheesy action flicks

Look, she's never gonna be anybody’s hero but the idea of being lauded for her skills instead of feared is a nice fantasy

Plus the choreography is just really satisfying.

She's pretty sure she could handle herself better than most of these dopey action-hero guys

She might have used one or two of the really clever one-liners on opponents she's fought (but only if she can be sure they won't go blabbing about it afterwards)

A special soft-spot for those racing movies, the ones that really get the adrenaline going with the well-edited chase scenes

Would you put on one of the skimpy outfits the love interests in those movies do, and maybe lounge around on the hood of her car?

She's a rural girl so she knows all the best roads to speed on

After one too many Fast and Furious movies in the same night, she gets up abruptly and tells you to put on your shoes

Takes you out driving and scares you half to death on those back roads

She's definitely imagining that she's on that run after a successful mission or something

You being genuinely stressed about getting caught is helping the realism of the fantasy a ton, thanks babe--

NSFW:

You know it, she knows it; those sharp turns and high speeds have you both keyed allll the way the fuck up

Road head road head

You didn't know you could give a girl road head, but she is a surprisingly patient teacher

It makes your heart race even more to feel the car ripping around those turns without being able to see

Just the sound of the engine and her moans getting louder, while her grip on your hair tightens painfully

Knowing all the safe roads to speed on also means knowing all the safe spots to pull off

"Get over here now–"

Absolutely messy, desperate sex

The windows will fog, but not until the second or third orgasm, with how fast you both are going at it

It's not a comfortable position, but you barely notice given how frantic she is to get her hands on you and make you come

She's moving hard and fast, but you're so worked up yourself that you're not going to do more than yowl with approval

Thank God for long fingers, even at bad angles, she can hit every single spot you need

She’s got one hand shoved between you, the other on the back of your neck, keeping your foreheads close as she alternates between staring at your lips as they shape her name, and watching your eyelids flutter in pleasure

Level 3: ROMANCE

She secretly LOVES romance

Rom dram, romcom, period drama, whatever

It's just really sweet to see so much love and support

She likes the ones with kind parents, especially

Or ones where the parents come around and relationships get mended by the end

But when I say secretly, I mean secret-secret

She's SO mortified at the idea of anyone finding out

Watches them with headphones on and the door locked, when no one else is home

You've been dating for almost a year when she accidentally slips up and quotes one

You are floored and she absolutely bolts for the door

It takes several gruff denials and a lot of cajoling for her to finally admit to even having seen the movie she directly quoted

IF YOU TELL ANYONE–

Still refuses to talk about why she loves them but now you watch together

When she's especially grumpy or seems to be extremely stressed, that's the time to suggest it

She'll huff and roll her eyes and make a huge fuss and pretend it's for you

(But she's never once said no)

Before the opening credits are done, her arm is already around you and the other hand is reaching for yours

You're gonna have to feed her the popcorn because she's not letting go of you for even a minute

She's NOT crying, shut UP

NSFW:

The sex afterwards is always extremely tender and sweet

The kind that's a reminder that she really does adore you, even when she's bad at saying it

She takes her time running her hands over you slowly and watches you without pause

Those eyes which are always like ice are like the ocean, wide open and meltingly warm

Lots of compliments, she really does her best to make them special

But sometimes all she can say is how special and beautiful you are, over and over

It's the one time she isn't going to scoff at cliches

She always says it so hushed and painfully earnestly, like it's filling her with awe that you're even here with her

Every caress from you makes her eyes flutter, and she presses into your hands like she can't get enough

Extremely needy for your attention and your touch

Her noises are softer and higher than usual, and she's much more vocal

She never stops watching you, with the softest look of concentration, almost poignant

She never thought she'd see romance like this outside of the movies, not someone like her

The buildup is slow but the orgasm is absolutely cataclysmic

She will never, ever admit it but she tries really hard to time it so that you can come together at the same time

So much snuggling afterwards

Where do you think you're going? Get comfy, you're in a full bear-hug for the next few hours

Want to watch another?

[fernslivers]

Hello, welcome!

I've been wanting to take a more active role in fandoms for a while and the Imagines blogs have seriously gotten me through the trenches in the past. I love to write so I thought I'd try my hand at sharing my stuff in turn!

I'll jump around with fandoms but if you followed me for a specific fandom you can still request imagines from that!

Requests might take a while to get answered as unfortunately my RL gets extremely hectic in short stretches. But I WILL get to them!

If my ask-box is closed, it's because I have to catch up on asks, but it will reopen as soon as I have free space in my schedule!

I am willing to write 18+ content, but I'm nervous about being any good at it, so no promises. 😅

Mind the tags, some themes may be triggering, but I'll always tag and put it under a cut.

I do write with some backstory, but I try to keep it vague while making it believable, and leaving gaps to be filled in.

I will not be putting any named OC content here so it's all free for you to imagine yourself in. Feel free to take any plot points you see and write/rewrite/draw/etc based off them, I don't mind!

[fernslivers]

MODERN MIZU THOUGHTS

Kicking off my Hyperfixation with some silly little thoughts about modern-day Mizu!

Just a mix of headcanons and imagines, maybe I'll write some of them out into proper imagines if there's any interest! I have some spicier movie imagines already partly written!

Let me know if you like them, I definitely have MANY more thoughts--

This is my first time attempting to post my writings like this, so apologies for any errors.

(TW: canon-typical mention of SA due to Mizu's backstory)

So, of course, in the modern day, she wouldn't be as immediately ostracized the same way, but...

The closest I could think of was that her father was one of four very rich men/CEOs and her mother/baby Mizu were targeted to try to keep the "affair" quiet.

Still believes herself to be the product of SA (I know there's speculation among some fans as to whether this will be true, but since it's what she knows in the show, I'll just say that's true as far as she knows here too)

This still left her with a similar huge complex about her self image, bc she knows she has her dad's eyes, and that he got her mother killed

Went into the system after her mother’s mysterious “death”, got adopted by Eiji after she just wouldn't stop sneaking away from foster care to bother him/stare at his swords

He's still a swordsmith because people DO still do that in modern day. It just would make him even more famous/special.

The whole thing with M*k*o did happen, they divorced, she is aware that that woman is not her biological mother and they are No-Contact

Since she knows that was a maid, she still has the belief that her mother was killed for the reason listed above and still wants revenge.

I debated SO HARD about what she would go to college for. Because her two biggest passions are the sword-making, and revenge, both of which are hard to translate to modern day by themselves, much less in a combination.

(I thought about business, like maybe she wanted to take down a CEO father by taking over his company, or about law enforcement/law school, but they all felt wrong for her character.)

Because let's be honest, those four men in modern days would be involved in organized crime, so Mizu would probably just go straight for that kind of situation as well in order to tail them.

She isn't one to play by the rules of ANY organization

So, she's involved in organized crime on the down-low while going to college.

She doesn't work for anyone in particular, but she does run in shady circles and knows certain names and places. Nobody knows much about her, though.

She's definitely made enemies.

She's only in university at all because Eiji demanded she do something good with her life, and she can't stand to disappoint him so she does try somewhat hard to balance both.

I saw someone else on here say she would pursue Materials Engineering, and I think that’s probably a great option for technical sword smithing. (Sorry, I can't remember who it was, but it was NOT my suggestion.) That or something involving Metalworking in art (my fav cuz it's what I do).

She does sword training privately. She's not in any clubs on campus because, similar to in canon, she prefers a mix of them and actually does use her skills when she's "working", not just for what she considers play-sparring.

She's an older student that went back to school after her divorce.

DON'T ask her about that.

You two meet because you're both looking for a roommate halfway through a semester.

You had a nasty cheating-related breakup that culminated in you kicking your ex AND old RM out, leaving you with an apartment you couldn't pay for alone.

She used to room with Ringo, but just simply could. not. stand. Ringo’s intensely social atmosphere. He's a culinary student who is very respected in classes, and constantly inviting people over for dinner. (Edit: This was also partially someone else's!)

She noticed your ad that specified looking for someone quiet, in an off-campus place that offered a small courtyard for her training.

Perfect.

Your first thought when you meet her is “god damn.”

A tall drink of water with gorgeous eyes and a voice like crushed silk. Danger, danger, Will Robinson.

But you keep that under wraps. You tell yourself that you don't need to be rebounding with the person that just moved in.

So much for a roommate that doesn't offer any distractions, though. Her training in the yard pretty much means you get zero work done in that time unless you close the curtains.

…She is very quiet, at least. Even if she keeps odd hours with her strange "job".

However, Ringo is going to be stopping by almost every day to make sure she eats, so expect a lot of humming and a LOT of friendly questions.

Ringo is actually responsible for the two of you getting to know each other initially, because he asks questions of you that Mizu won't ask, and subtly makes sure to do it when Mizu is around to hear the answers.

She pretends to ignore you both, but can't help but tune in a bit.

He also chats a bit about Mizu, as long as it isn't anything she's told him is a secret, and ignores her glaring at him.

She stays stoic about it, but secretly she's rather flustered when you seem interested in a positive way by what Ringo blabs to you about her.

She also appreciates that you don't bug her about it when Ringo isn't around even if she kind of wishes you did

He is Very Excited that Mizu now has TWO friends! :)

Mizu acts annoyed by him, but she is secretly pleased when you seem to like him.

She would not fw you if you didn't. He's like a beloved sibling; she gets to complain about him, but she'll fight anyone else that doesn't like him.

You finally get to ACTUALLY start becoming friends when you both happen to stay on campus over a break.

You aren't on good terms with your family, so you assume you'll have the place to yourself, but...

Walking by Mizu’s room you notice that she's still here.

Her door is open for once because she also assumed you would be gone.

After staring at each other in mutual surprise, you awkwardly ask her if she wanted to maybe hang out over dinner and watch a movie or something.

She would normally have said no, but with nothing else to do over break, she chose to focus on doing homework continually (She is perpetually behind because of those Extracurricular Revenge Activities of hers), and she is just so done with it

So she awkwardly agrees

And you learn the hard way why Mizu is not allowed in the kitchen EVER.

You try, you really do, to keep that first bite in your mouth, but…

She shamefacedly asks if you're alright while you're still coughing over the garbage can, but your coughing turns to giggling.

You joke to her that you're actually glad to know she isn't perfect at everything, and she seems surprised that you admire anything about her to begin with

You're willing to start over ON YOUR OWN, but she insists that would be unfair and orders you both takeout.

Since she bought dinner, you insist that she gets to pick the movie.

She kind of wants to put on that new slasher flick that just came out on streaming, but she isn't sure what you like and you seem like such a sweet little thing.

And after nearly killing you via spices, she didn't want you to think she was a TOTAL psycho.

(She doesn't want to talk about why she even cares what you think.)

So she chose a documentary on modern sword-smithing that she knew Eiji had been interviewed for.

(This surprised you, because you were EXPECTING her to choose a horror. She just seems like the type. And maybe you were hoping for an excuse to snuggle closer…)

But this is actually really interesting, and you find yourself fascinated. You never knew about the details and craftsmanship that went into this!

She tries to sit quietly, as usual, but she just can't resist the urge to point out Eiji when he appears.

She's just too proud of her sword-father. That pride is obvious in her voice and makes her seem almost soft for once.

This makes you feel ever so slightly brave, and leads to you pausing after his section (because you don't want to talk over him), and asking all sorts of questions.

Normally she wouldn't be thrilled about this, but she can't resist questions about Eiji the way she can about herself.

Somehow this leads her to ask some minor question about your major, related to something you told Ringo, and she's startled at the jolt that runs through her when you light up, just beaming at her.

“I didn’t know you listened to any of that!”

You start excitedly explaining, but she's distracted by the strange thrumming in her chest at the way you smiled at her.

(This is not going to be a problem for her. It's NOT. )

[fernslivers]

forgot to post Mizu from couple of months ago here!! she was also in drafts for lloooonnggg
