To My Brother @theobrowningfd,

Well, it's that time of year again. The time where I spend entirely too long trying to find the perfect gift for you just to remember you already got the best gift when you agreed to be my friend. Pretty cool present if you ask me! Since you're taking on new adventures this year - Tam's one lucky girl - I thought I'd be a little more practical with my gift giving this year; a guitar holder for the wall so you can make space for the ladies things, a cup to store all the coffee or cold beverages your heart desires - there's even one in there for Tam too - and of course it wouldn't be Christmas without some form of alcoholic present now would it? You're welcome by the way, it took everything in me not to keep that firetruck decanter for myself.

This gift is late I know, you already know the holidays are tough for me, but, I wouldn't be able to survive them without you; seriously.

// Congrats on 200 followers, CORSAIR! I know Commodore already mentioned she had whiskey, but, uh-

+ we brought more alcohol. for everyone to share, because drinking alone is boring and sad. one bottle from each of us. hope y'all like... shit, which one was this again? ah yes - chocolate-covered pretzel flavored vodka. one of the tamer flavors from my collection, I'd say. (yes, I collect weird vodka flavors, don't ask)

// ...yeah, that. I brought y'all some bourbon - this one actually comes from my home planet (moon?) of Pyxis. Had it stashed for a special occasion, but it feels right to let y'all try it - I can always get some more for myself when I next find my way home. (Bit strong if you drink it straight; I'd suggest having it over ice.)

> I can't say with any certainty whether cocktails are popular among the CORSAIR crew, so rather than a bottle of gin, I opted for the safer choice of red wine. Phoenix assisted me in picking one; I'm not a wine drinker myself.

// Anyways - we didn't just bring booze; we all brought questions as well. Whoever wants to answer them can, not just Commodore.

+ mine first, because I know these two are gonna be serious about it and we can't all be buzzkills around here. here goes: if y'all had to pick a new name for CMC on the spot - new official name to go by, no more CORSAIR, we're changing the adbroads tomorrow - what would it be?

// That's... actually a pretty solid question. Damn, now I'm a bit jealous I didn't ask that. Good ask, Slipshod!

> I'll ask next. My question is: where did the idea to start CORSAIR come from? Were you inspired by other mercenary companies across the galaxy, or was CMC an original idea?

// Also a good question! Y'all really thought these over, huh. Anyways, here's mine, and this one's for Commodore specifically: what can you tell us about Sylvia? Obviously the Sylvia's Requiem is named for her, but I'm curious to know what she was like in life.

+ see, what did I tell you? now Commodore's gonna get all sad and sappy. geez, P, you really are a buzzkill. (more so than Kennedi, somehow)

// Hey, I say it's fair game. She did say we could ask anything. Anywyas, congrats again on the 200 followers, to all of our friends at CORSAIR. It's been a blast getting to know you all, and following your adventures across the galaxy. Cheers to however many more!

+ shit, I'll drink to that. cheers!

> Congratulations, CORSAIR. Cheers, from all of us at MSMC.

Yours among the stars, forever and always!

-- Angel, Slipsod, & Lockbreaker

Look at you three go, thanks girls (and Enby). All three bottles will be cherished, shared, and drunk at the appropriate times. That bourbon I'm saving till after our friendly duel. But for now, two shots.

Alright Question time No more CORSAIR as the name hmmm you know that's a hard one. Might go Last Requiem MC. After all you can't kill all of us. But I don't think I'm ever letting go of the CORSAIR name.

Starting CORSAIR. For a while I just did freelance work, Sylvia would do the duty of a handler and I'd be out there wrecking house. I think I was able to get my first license well my LL0 cause of her. CMC came about from the work piling up and bringing friends in. You could call MSMC a bit of an inspiration but this never has been about the money. Sure we charge high but that's more for the pilots using this as a job. For me it's always been the stories that come out of this.

Sylvia. Nobody was ever truly like her. Something about the way she loved life so truly. She did the real old CMC promotional material. It's hard to describe the love of your life when words can't really express how you felt about her. Who'd have thought the daughter of some stupid corporate sticks would have fallen for a one eyed loose cannon and run off with her. I mean she had a lust for life I haven't seen since her....

Ah, right anyways. Thanks you three. One more shot for good luck, till legends bleed!

i don't remember if this is spoiling you or not, but giving the spike story line you said you watched i'm assuming i'm not. look i don't know why there is a discussion between spike and angel you know? angel loses his soul (because apparently the most happy he can ever be is when he has sex) and becomes this awful dude who does all that shit, because cool he is the soulless vampire now, his natural state as a vampire and as such his real self at the moment. NOW spike... spike never once gained his soul back he is a vampire in its natural state he is a better person than angel. Not saying he didn't do shitty things, both do, but given that spike doesn't need to be cursed to act decently... i mean.

I've gotten an impression (like, always, really) that Spike is a good boy. Does bad things, that's what vampires are, but he still hasn't somehow lost his humanity and its softer side (and he seems to be also a sappy romantic).

I haven't gotten to the part where he and Buffy are a couple and I'm kind of curious to see how they write that, because the whole 3 seasons the series has been rubbing onto your face "Angel, Angel, Angel, Buffy can't think or be with anyone else, this is a destiny for both of them" (and I suspect that's where the Spike and Buffy romance also dies to).

IF I was mean I would say that you can tell that this series is created by a man from some weird choices. Like Angel being happy only when he gets an orgasm. Geez, what's all the dates and romantic nights and make outs with Buffy then, or his deep love confessions before the orgasm? A prolonged foreplay? A man can feel a true happiness in any other way than through sex?

In that sense I do agree with you on Spike. His love and dedication is genuine, whereas Angel - like you said - needs to have his soul back OR to be cursed to be able to love and be dedicated. (That could lead to an interesting discussion and meta of how different people react and cope to them becoming vampires).

I'm sure I'll have more thoughts as I progress in the series.

P.S. I also want to adopt Willow!

Shuichi didn't know if Kazuichi was even going to be in his garage, since it was his birthday... so when he does spot him there, he gives a relieved sigh. "Kaz!" He calls out to him, and walks up to him with a smile. "There you are, I was hoping to find you: Happy Birthday! I hope your day is going well! I wanted to give you a gift, if that's okay."

He holds out his gift to him. It is a brown tool bag, with multiple side and outside pockets, with the inside being very spacious, so that it can hold many tools, even big or heavy ones. And it can be worn over the shoulder, or carried by the other two handles. "Ah, I'm sure as a mechanic, you probably already have plenty of items to help carry your tools, b-but... ! I hear this is a very good bag for when you need to hold or carry a lot of them at once. So I thought, maybe you'd still like it: I hope it's fine, and that you will be able to make great use of it... !" (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAZ!!! 🎉🛠️🎊)

⠀

“F-for me? Really??” Putting down what he’d been working on, he eagerly takes the bag in his hands to inspect it. “Dude, this is a great bag! It’s going to be super useful, man!! C-can I really have this?” he asks that, but he’s already putting it on, testing how comfortable the strap is and looking very happy with the results. “I… I can’t believe you put this much thought into a gift for me, Sushi, you’re gonna make me cry… I didn’t even think you knew about my birthday! I mean, I kinda forgot about it myself, so… y-y’know. Knowing that some people remembered it in the first place means a lot.” Looking a bit sheepish about going all sappy, he held up the bag with a heartfelt grin. “And then you go and get me something like this on top of it… geez. This better not have been too pricey, man. I feel kind of guilty taking it...”

hallo!! its your nonbinary egg prosecutor again to talk about kin stuff :DDD, I hope you guys are doing alright with the entire thing with wil..and because rn things on the qsmp are a bit of a mess with the team, but I'm here to whip you guys back to reality and send you a lot of hugs!! this is a bit of a random thing but usually when I kinshift to franziska I picture myself as her young self either baby fran (that is basically child franziska) like rn or rookie prosecutor where she was like 13 and rarely when she is 18, maybe because I'm a teenager?? but I'm not really sure I was wondering if it could be an agere thing but I am not so sure about that either, regardless of that I'm feeling much more calm regarding everything that has been going on qsmptwt is burning ig? but eh not my issue at all I'm sure things will turn out fine in the end, I have faith in quackity as well as the admins

welp! see you later folks!!! please take care of yourself :DDD

-(cannon divergent llulah anon) franziska von karma ace attorney⭑

oh geez i didn't realize this was still in the inbox! I coulda sworn that I responded to it! ah curse my faulty memory! anywho geez sorry for leaving you on read so to say? i mean its not a big deal i just ughghg I like talkin to ya. lowkey sucks to realize i've left ya hanging but eh that's just how it is sometimes.

anyway franziska!! hi hello! happy to hear from you again :]! Hope things are all good with you too! Stuffs been fucked lately but I'm gonna pull through, t's gonna take a lot more than a little stress to kill me. [also thanks for the hugs. sending some your way too! hope they find you well]

Kinda piggy backin off of your thought cause t's really interestin to me. I remember a lil while back I'd align a lot more with the uh younger version of one of my kintypes but with time it's kinda shifted? idk augh I'm just more prone to reminiscing abt stuff that's more related to source which happened when I was older.

Just in general I've been thnking abt how like almost all of my kintypes are older than me rn. Feels weird tbh always thinkin I'm older than I am, but eh t's probably just a me skill issue on top of my habit of being old men in terms of kin stuff. Seriously some one stop me from being old geezers with children, I'm too young to be adopting people at the rate I've been at it...

Anyway I'm gonna just cut myself off there. The rest of my rambling can go into my private journal it's all a bit much haha. aight I'm gonna get back to responding to asks faster again I swear. I'm gonna claw my way back into being on top of things one way or another. I miss this blog which is a weird thing to say but idk I think about yall anons a lot. You all take care and all that! The eleventh month anniversary is right around the corner (it's the 16th so uh yeah literally just right there) and I might be sappy abt it again but I think I'll save the really sappy shit for the 1 year anniversary. yall watch out!!! it's ridiculous how easy it is for me to be emotional abt people I pretty much just know through an inbox.

day four. october 10th. 9:02am

day five. october 11th. 11:38 am

two days are gonna go in one entry, cause i already know i ain't gonna do SHIT today and i didn't get to write anything down yesterday. turns out nico's decided that being sappy in just one place wouldn't cut it. so he took me not only to 1 waterfall, but 3. you'd think if you saw one, you saw them all, but nah.

i hate how easy this is to him, like he's never done anything else in his damn life while i'm barely hanging on. like, i'm FINE, i'm not worried per se, i'm just taking every day as it comes. i'm trying to adapt to nico's pace, trying to keep up with him and i think i'm not doing terribly but geez. days like today DO make me worry if he isn't gonna realize i ain't relationship material. i wouldn't blame him if he dropped me for someone more.... well, more. just more ... i don't even know how to word it cause sure, i'm lacking in something i never wanted to even be good at in the first place so it's not like i wish i'd done differently in the past to be better.

i know i wouldn't. i didn't WANT to until that dumbass looked at me with his stupid puppy eyes. one hook up was all i wanted. maybe a few more. casual shit. but how can i run from someone whose happiness makes ME happy? the moment i set foot into the hepha-whatever cabin after avoiding him for like what? days? a week? don't remember. the way he beamed when he saw me. i never fucking cared about other people's happiness, even less so what they thought of me. until nico. such a damn bother.

he demanded we take a picture together like an actual couple, which.. i mean... we ....are? yeah. kinda. i guess? like, we didn't exactly talk about it, but we talked about retiring together, we exchanged weapons... i mean like... even if i wanted to claim we aren't.. we ARE. the nice lady taking our picture was way too nosy but nico ...handled her so i didn't have to. thank fuck.

i thought we'd grab lunch after and maybe get back on the road, but no. second waterfall, nico ... i don't even know how he did it, but we had a picnic there. a picnic. like a pair of dumbasses. it was good though, guess he found someone to prep food for him. no picture that time. though he did kiss me and some guy with kids semi-choked. not the first time i've witnessed that. though i never felt defensive about it before. i never really cared about the people who kissed me in public, i just wanted to get off.

nico held me back though. good thing he's calm. sometimes. cause i ain't. like ever. by the time we reached the third waterfall, it was dark and of course he knew. cause when we came there and i told him we should just go back because going to see a waterfall in after sunset made no sense... well, of course nico knew what he was doing. it fucking glowed in the dark. don't ask me why someone thought it a good idea, but the place was crowded, so ... someone had a pretty good idea when they decided that. it was pretty.

after that, well.. we were busy for most of the night. i thought about sneaking out of bed to write, but nico at night... is like.. fifty percent security system, fifty person huggy bear. you get up, he'll know and worry. you don't get up, he'll snuggle your ass off. not .......that i mind. I DON'T. i like the way his body feels against mine even when we're NOT fucking.

soooo yeah it's like.. 12 pm by now. uh, not sure what the plan is for today, but i'm guessing food and driving, which is fine with me. i can drive for a while, too. i wonder if nico has more of these ... uhhhh dates? was it a date? well, kinda? whatever. i wonder if he's got more planned. guess i'll find out. kind of unfair HE got to prepare and i'm getting dragged along. WHATEVER.

nico's out getting breakfast... or lunch. both kinda. i can't believe i slept till 11. way to piss off my schedule. but it's okay. IT'S OK. i can derivate from the schedule sometimes. i'll be fine. it was worth it, too.

thoughts and emotions and stuff uh... think i got into that already up top but.. feeling a little frustrated with stuff. torn .. yeah. maybe overwhelmed, but like i'm not panicking. i'm just... overwhelmed and trying to follow the current. otherwise... i'm good. i mean like.. really good. pretty damn good if i ignore the little voice singing for me to find a target.

as for plans? just ... trying to think of a way to show appreciation i guess. nico's trying really hard and i feel like it's a pretty one-sided process for him. I KNOW WHY but he doesn't. i don't think he realizes he's the big exception.

and i hope he never finds out. he'd be unstoppable.

calling him by a nickname for the very first time w/ ichiro, hifumi, and kuko

-pairings: ichiro yamada x gn!reader, hifumi izanami x gn!reader, kuko harai x gn!reader

-genre: fluff

-a/n: aren't nicknames simply the cutest?

Ichiro

"ah, ichi, could you get that for me?"

when those words first left your mouth, ichiro, honestly, couldn't quite process what you had just called him for a few moments or so

he had definitely heard you, don't get it wrong, but ichiro simply couldn't quite believe what you had said and wondered if it was simply what he had heard, his mind and ears playing tricks on him and deceiving him

besides the usual pet names, such as babe or honey, ichiro wasn't really big on nicknames, more so personal ones. i mean, he certainly did love them, especially knowing that there was a special and personal meaning attached to them, but he simply never was one to come up with or use such nicknames in the first place

"um," he sheepishly looked off to the side, a cute tiny pink blush evident on his cheeks as he grabbed the item you had asked for and handed it to you, still unable to look you in the eye, "did you just call me ichi?"

ichi...the way it rolled off his tongue or how it sounded to his ears felt quite strange

he had certainly heard his brothers call him that before, more so when they were younger, but ichiro never did think much of it given that they were his younger brothers. he thought that it was just a thing little kids liked to do, give their older siblings cute nicknames (he recalled how saburo used to call him that when he first learned to talk, and it stuck since)

but to hear it coming from his s/o, to hear you call him a shortened version of his name, something that really only those close to him could do, well, ichiro couldn't help that skip of his heart

geez, he knew that it shouldn't mean thia much, shouldn't have had such an impact on his heart, but ichiro couldn't help it. it was only a nickname after all, but, and perhaps he was dwelling too much on it, it felt like something more

you two had been dating for a while, yes, but it was the first time you ever called him something so personal, having been derived from his name

it truly felt as if the two of you were this close to one another, this intimate and loving, enough so to call him such a cute name he wouldn't let anyone else do

"hm? yeah, it's my nickname for you"

the way you had said it so nonchalantly, so casually too, as if it was the most natural thing. it came from you naturally as well, the way you didn't hesitate to call him ichi

gosh, the more he thought about it, the more he mentally called himself ichi, the more ichiro began to grow to it

"do you not like it?" you titled your head cutely to the side (or at least in a manner ichiro considered so). "i can stop if you'd like-"

"no," it came out in a bit of an exclamation, as embarrassing as it sounded on ichiro's end, though he quickly caught himself and reiterated it. "no, it's fine," he, once again, looked sheepishly off to the side and mumbled, "i actually quite like it"

ah, ichi...he definitely could get used to it

Hifumi

"do you need any help, 'fumi?"

hifumi's ears certainly perked up upon that new nickname you had for him, the first one and first time ever you had ever called him something else besides his name or the usual sappy pet names that everyone used, stopping his chopping of the vegetables for a second or so when he had processed it; and it was difficult of him to not suppress a smile when he heard it

hifumi had always been rather big on nicknames right from the start of your guys' relationship, especially ones that he considered to be quite adorable. he had nicknames for pretty much everyone he was close with

rarely did hifumi ever call anyone he considered special in his heart by their actual name, prompting to call out to them by the special nickname he had made for them (he even listed them as such in his phone contacts). it could really be something as simple as what they did, such as calling jakurai doc, or something more personal and stylized such as doppomine to doppo (and it was a great play on words mind you)

they certainly created a sense of intimacy and closeness, a feeling of having a special bond

i mean, he definitely never thought that much of all the nicknames he called people since they pretty much came out of him so abruptly, but hifumi did love the feeling of it

basically, hifumi was a sucker for cute nicknames

"ah, you finally called me a cute nickname!" he teased, immediately commenting on the name that had come of your mouth so naturally and with ease, though you still could definitely hear the smile in his voice, the excitement of having been called something so cute that you, his beloved s/o, had come up with

it took you a few moments or so to realize what he meant, taking a couple of seconds to register it. really, the name 'fumi had come out so naturally and it felt like that to you too. it didn't really require much of a second thought, almost as if it was his own name in a way, so it never really struck you that he'd notice it

yet when he commented on it, you couldn't help the flustered feeling that arose, perhaps somewhat embarrassed at having been caught giving him a nickname so out of the blue. geez, it should be him getting all flustered and warm, yet why was it the other way around?

but really, hifumi was feeling those same butterflies in his chest as well, muttering the name over and over again in his mind

it was surely adorable, and each time he called himself 'fumi, thinking of you, hifumi felt such a strange sensation in his body, unable to really describe how it felt other than that it felt good

he had always been one to call others nicknames, but never really the other way around. so to hear you call him his very own nickname, something special to only him, certainly he hadn't expected to have felt the tips of his ears go red or to get all shy, especially considering how he was, well, quite the opposite (the slight rare blush you could see on him certainly did look good)

so this is what it felt like to be called something so cute, huh? being on the receiving end surely felt nice

(you're now legally obligated to only call him by that or else hifumi would slightly pout and miss his own nickname)

"if you don't like it, i can stop," you mumbled, unable to meet his gaze and a bit warm in the face. hifumi always did have such a way of teasing you, of getting you so flustered even when it should be the other way around. you were used to his antics by now, but they did never fail to catch you

"ah, honey, it's fine! i love it so much!" he concurred

he leaned over the counter and gazed at you, staring at the star or sparkle in your eyes (they were always his favorite) and flashing you one of his signature grins. gah, they never did fail to melt your heart and make you fall for him each and every time. it was that same erratic heart skip that you felt when you locked eyes with him for the first time ever back then

"i'll always be your 'fumi~"

Kuko

"this place looks nice; wanna try it out kuu?"

kuko instantly snapped out of his rather absentminded demeanor upon mention of that new nickname of his, one that he's never really quite heard you call him before

he's never been the one for nicknames, whether it was coming from him or others (unless it was something that just sorta stuck, like calling hitoya 'shitty lawyer,' but this was certainly a much different situation), so admittedly, it was rather strange to hear at first

nicknames and the lot were things kuko could never quite wrap his mind around. i mean, he certainly understood why they were used, to signify a bond of some sort or closeness, but to kuko, they were simply meaningless and perhaps peculiar to an extent. he never was too fond of them anyway as regular namea did just fine

kuko wasn't used to being called any pet name or whatnot, and honestly, he couldn't help the confusion he felt a tiny bit on the inside, though it really came from the fact that this was all new to him

kuu?? that was indeed unique, the first he's ever heard of. in a sense, it felt...somewhat wrong to be called that? he didn't take too much of a liking to this sensation, this weird tightness in his chest or heart or whenever, whatever it may be

ah, he couldn't quite pinpoint what he felt at that moment since it was all sorts of things, but in a word, it was strange

"eh? kuu?" the confusion was evident on his face, his brows cocked, looking just a tad bit aggressive, though he did have a tendency to always make such a face. "did you just call me kuu?"

kuu huh...the more he said it, the more childish it sounded, though not entirely in a bad way. it was cute, even he had to admit, at least, when it came from you (yes, he may have a bias of some sort), though it sounded a lot like 'coo'

by the looks of it, more so given by how your hand immediately went to your mouth, clearly flustered at what had just transpired. kuu had simply slipped out, and that was the first time you had ever called him anything besides his name since the two of you began dating

"ah, i'm sorry! it just slipped..."

he chuckled, unable to suppress that signature mischievous cat-like grin of his. that was a fun and cute reaction, certainly, and kuko did love teasing you whenever, even if it was by mistake

but being called a nickname for the first time ever, especially one as personal as kuu given that it was derived from his name, kuko, it did feel odd, as said many times before

geez, that knot in his chest never left, and it was starting to bug him. it was somewhat irritating, the way his heart did a quick and single 'ba thump,' or the way he felt the heat quickly rise to his face the moment the name left your lips. how could something as small and insignificant as a nickname get him so?

"y'know," he began, turning away from you since, as confident and outspoken (though loud mouthed would surely be more accurate) as kuko could be, even he couldn't say the next sentence without avoiding your gaze. "i don't mind being called kuu if it's by ya'"

(as long as you don't overdo it, though that only gave you more reason to mess with him)

kuu...gah, repeating that to himself made him slightly shrink. he felt a taste in his mouth, unsure whether it was foul or pleasant. it surely still felt wrong and even stranger the more he repeated it to himself

yet, as if it was some sort of paradox, kuko also found himself growing a little bit fond of it the more he said it, the more he remembered what it sounded like out of your mouth. it felt good still, cute even, given by the way his heart still jumped and his cheeks still flared and had a hint of pink

kuu...it only sounded nice when it came from you after all

it'd be a while until he got used to that new name of his though, that was for sure
