I BELIEVE IN AROACE TSUKASA (An unnecessary post)

i made this to keep track of my mind.

So Tsukasa Tenma, huh? World Future Star. Older brother. Yadda yadda yadda. Well, he's definitely an aroace person. There are just so many signs that he it that I doubt he's anything else. So let's get started on why I believe he's aroace.

Just in case you don't know what aroace is it stands for aromantic asexual. They don't feel romantic or sexual attraction. This is just a general definition though and every experience is different for everyone.

So first of all he almost never blushes. He only blushes when he's saying something embarrassing or when someone compliments him. However he doesn't blush at stuff like the sight of a person. If he does it's in admiration. Think about the recent event where he's getting all buff and stuff, Haruka played a big role in that event and she has probably the best powers of getting someone to blush ever. I mean, she made an alien fall in love. That's gotta be rizz. So Tsukasa not blushing that entire event it's kinda weird since Haruka is known to make everyone blush and basically fall in love with her. So this adds to my headcanon.

Next off is how he tends to remove the romantic aspects in stories since he views is not an important part of them. Now, don't get me wrong, romance doesn't have to be part of a story for it to be good, but since he's altering stories with key romantic elements. He views them as unnecessary to the story and rather make them friends and stuff. This makes me believe that romance to him isn't important in his life and he'd rather just be really good friends with everyone.

So, a weak point here, but you can pick the colors of the aroace flag from his color palette. I know it's a really weak point but I feel like I should mention it anyways because it's fun

So with all of this combined you get an aroace Tsukasa! Now this isn't meant to say any other headcanon is wrong. I like the gay or bi or whatever Tsukasa headcanons. I just wanted to show my reasoning for my Tsukasa headcanon here and keep track of my brain a little. We also only got to the romantic side of things and not the sexual side since, well, they're still teenagers. I'm sure they've experienced some sort of sexual attraction but it's not mentioned in the story anywhere. Plus, I'm not comfortable talking sexual stuff. Anyways, I need a chill pill.

tsukasa thanking emu in the most tender voice because she was the one who scouted him after he failed his audition and gave him the chance to work towards his dream while they’re all crying…. critical damage to my heart

WxS Fixer: Computer Viruses, Invasion, and Trust

The more that I look at the WxS Fixer MV, the more I feel that Rui is being depicted as, or at least is analogous to, a computer virus.

(All translated lyrics are from MML!opinions!Fun!Chocolate! on the Vocaloid Lyrics wiki)

Exhibit 1: "permission..."

The main thing that I noted from the following two shots is the word "permission…" like when a program is asking to be run on a computer.

The first verse has Xs and ?s, showing that the program (Rui in this case) is asking for permission but is being blocked out.

The 2nd verse, meanwhile, has =) and glitch effects surrounding Tsukasa, as if the program has successfully hacked in / been given permission to run.

(The smiley faces are also a neat nod to the lyrics, though they also remind me of the "YOU ARE AN IDIOT" virus LMAO)

Exhibit 2: "this is right" -> "hello, world"

The first few pictures are from the 1st verse. The words "this is right" at the bottom are initially normal, but in the next few shots, the letters "h" and "t" turn purple and shift downwards. The apple is also changing color here.

In the 2nd verse, "this is right" appears yet again with the imagery of the changing apple, but at the very end we see a shot of Rui with "hello, world"* in purple. Notably, this is also right before the shot of Tsukasa mentioned earlier with the smiley faces and glitchy parts.

*(For those who don't know, a "hello world" program is a computer program that prints out the words "hello world", used to showcase a programming language's syntax. It's often the first program one writes when they are learning a programming language.)

Exhibit 3: INVASION

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Tsukasa's "INVASION" text is purple while Rui's text is just white, as if Rui IS the invasion while Tsukasa is being subjected to it.

Exhibit 4: Changing colors

AKA Easily the most discussed part of the MV. The text progressively gets more purple and, at the very end, Tsukasa and Rui switch their initial colors. The ending makes me think that though Rui is the invader / fixer (haha), he has also been influenced by Tsukasa.

My thoughts? Well, this 2DMV is fucking awesome. Like, if you're going to give me one of my favorite Vocaloid songs even prior to PRSK with my two favorite PRSK characters AND give them at 2DMV of said song, I'm going to overanalyze the shit out of it.

To me, the MV shows how much Tsukasa and Rui's relationship has developed from the main story to now. Though Tsukasa is the one who invites Rui to WxS, Rui at first joins for more self-fufilling purposes (getting a chance to do the best show)* and Tsukasa is more apprehensive and suspicious of Rui, though he also doesn't back away from the challenges Rui throws at him due to his goal to become a "world future star".

*he also initially joins more to get Nene to break out of her shell as opposed to anything for Tsukasa's sake

As Tsukasa and Rui become more familiar with each other, Tsukasa wants him and Rui to trust each other more, as seen in the Potato event. Tsukasa becomes the one who wants Rui to go all out while Rui is apprehensive.

By Smile of a Dreamer, it's clear that Rui isn't just in WxS to just "put on the best show" anymore. He's doing it for the friendships he's formed there and to be with people who see him for how he is as opposed to a weirdo. Tsukasa and the rest of WxS are willing to take risks for Rui without turning on his back, something that Rui learns in Potato event and RMD.

In that case, Tsukasa blocks out Rui at first, but, through working together in WxS, Tsukasa ends up accepting Rui for how his is, letting Rui's stage directions influence / "invade" him to become a better actor. In turn, Tsukasa's acceptance changes Rui as well, breaking him out of the shell of loneliness he built for himself and making him more willing to trust others.

characters i hate most of the fanon version of :T

-BSD- akutagawa ryuu: PLEASE stop making him only be 'dazai this' or 'dazai that' he HAS other importent parts of his character :((

nakahara chuuya: his whole personality is not anger issues, and hes not just dazais ex-partner either :sob: hes a well fleshed out character. i mean have you even HEARD of stormbringer??

-pjsekai- (minus leo/need and some of VBS i havent read their stories yet)

otori emu: maybe she is the hyoer extrovert but she dosent say 'WONDERHOY!' evrry sentence. she says it a lot sure, but not as much as everyone makes her say it :( she has sad parts to her character and your glossing over the wonderlandsxshowtime stories :<

yoisaki kanade: i know some of yall want to make angst about her but please dont project every mental illness you have onto her :(

kamishiro rui: god where do i start; hes literally a silly inventer not a mass murderer. he (on multiple occasions) has shut down over accidentally hurting someone due to his direction in shows (mostly tsukasa but still). like pooks, there was a whole event story about that ^^ | It's On! Wonder Halloween! | he deeply cares about his friends in the stoyr making robo-nene for nene due to her fear of talking to people and protecting emu and her dreams about the park from her brothers and even trying to keep toya up with how he wanted to try and learn baking :)

ill probably add more later so consider this a future thread !!

showtime.

with @iseullgc

seyeon would never turn down the opportunity for a party, so when he heard that legacy was throwing another halloween themed event, he had already started planning his outfit. halloween was only one day a year, so why not make the most of it, right?

he wasn't too much of a gamer, but seyeon did dabble in a few games here and there. but admittedly, out of the gaming stations that were stationed around the venue, animal crossing was by far his favorite one, simply because he played that more than the others. and on top of that, there was just something so cozy about that game that made him want to almost live in it, in those amazing islands that people built that literally looked like a little town.

as he's scouting around the venue, watching others play the games and wondering just how people were that good at some of them, he spots iseul lingering at one of the stations and slowly makes his way over towards him, striking up a conversation. "so, which station is your favorite?" seyeon shoots him the question, his eyes drifting from the screens over to the younger.

@danielinhell continued from here

Not answering, Sybelle watches him for a minute. She doesn't usually hunt accompanied. Her method requires to be alone and vulnerable. She supposes she doesn't care much that he watches her, although his opinion of her might change. It's happened a lot. Her brutal ways aren't approved by all, plus sometimes she lacks discretion and tends to be reckless.

"Fine. But don't get seen," she ends up whispering with a frown. He could have asked instead of surprising her, but in the end it doesn't matter much.

Sybelle ignores him as she disappears into small streets lined with shady bars and her demeanor changes. It's a costume she's slipped into many times because it's her from before, shoulders hunched, eyes afraid, small and lost. It isn't hard ; sometimes she almost believes it, old fear and learned behaviour sneaking into her muscles. Her heels are making a ruckus as they hit the pavement, her light dress looks out of place in the darkness.

It isn't long before she's lured one. Another follower, a human this time, twice her size with his thoughts resonating into her head and igniting her rage. She walks faster, but not fast enough and makes a turn into a dark alleyway. She channels her brother raining fists on her into her mind and it makes her voice more than believable.

"Leave me alone, please !"

Her feigned fear excites him, but he doesn't know she's even more excited than he is.

As soon as Banana had entered, the puddles alerted him. Whispering that someone is intruding upon the studio. Expecting it to be another nosy human, he dropped what he was doing && slunk towards the entrance. They get many of those this time of year, much to his annoyance. It's the spooky weather, he reckoned.

But as he turned the corner, he heard a familiar voice. Banana. He perked up upon recognizing who this surprise visitor was. Excitement won over caution, && he quickened his pace. Gosh, he hasn't seen him in a while!

... Okay, maybe he shouldn't have grabbed him. But can you really blame him? He beamed at the other toon, clearly excited to see him. ❝ Howdy! ❞ A part of him is surprised that no fear is coming from Banana. Most would be terrified of this large, imposing form.

Oh. At the question, his smile faltered, && he chittered. Great, he doesn't recognize him. It hurts a little, hearing that he looks nothing like his toon self. He sighed && moved to set him back down on the floor. ❝ ... I know him, yeah. What about him? ❞ Bendy tries to not let his displeasure be shown.

"Are you alright?" / funtime foxy :3

IT IS WITH A GODLIKE EFFORT THAT HE RESISTS KNOCKING HIMSELF OUT WITH HOW MUCH HE JUMPS. Wheeling himself out from underneath the heavy metal casing of an endoskeleton, swearing irritably at his own skittishness, William shoots the Funtime animatronic a stern look, though it lacks any hostility an employee might have been faced with. “What have I told you about sneaking up on me? It’s all very well for children, but I could have injured myself…”

Obedience and respect are key — even with those created to give him just that. Never mind the fact William hadn’t exactly been doing anything dangerous, it’s not the point. Light tinkering with old parts, a deconstructed shell from the old locations. He’s sweaty and tired anyway; wipes his brow with a rag at his side as he glances up inquisitively at the fox. Perhaps that’s what’s she’s sensing; his restless irritation, his fatigue from the low remnant supply. Dismisses it as he gets to his feet, brows brought low in expectant inquiry. “Is there something wrong? Are you in need of repair— is that why you’re down here?”

[scarletooyoroi]

What swelled upon these lands that endure the embers of war was a viscous grip of despair. Unity torn apart, old tensions stirred and wounds ripped, the newest decree had prompted utter calamity if there dared to be the spark of resistance, if there dared to be life valued to the intrinsic level of humanity. The Vision Hunts were a new ambition forged and approved by the Shogun, and in her holy name, the devout found themselves determined to wave the banner of Narukami with more than just fighting spirit and a just cause.

Between Just and Unjust, the terror struck amidst their sprint through the ghoulish realm of Yashiori island serves as testament.

Thoma could feel the inherent wrongness within his bones as soon as they settled upon the coast Whatever found itself tearing free from its shackles, it was an ancient force, coalesced emotion turned into power as radiated in a way that made a horrific sight become reality before them. As his feet positioned aptly into a fighting stance, the cloak hood of his cloak is torn down in order to really see what stood upon their path to Watatsumi.

These figures that shambled with the mystic taint heavy upon tattered flesh and bone, seething deeper into whatever remnants of a soul remained, these soldiers have long since found themselves departed from the living world. "Lady Ayaka.." His voice holds tense, stirs of a frantic flame becoming tempered keeping him steady. "You remember the old legends of Orobashi..?"

"Something is wrong here.. very wrong." Ahead of them, the sight of such caution reveals its hellish intent as now emptied sockets where eyes once held were lit, revealing that poisonous fury as the sight of their divinity alone prompts the anger to stir in the now zombie warriors. Whether from the proud makings of Tenryou Samurai or the Watatsumi resistance, a sickening unity was found despite the roars combating power in the distance.

A ghoulish screech would erupt from those tattered vocal chords as the culminated skills of each vessel attacked them, bloodied blades and chipped spears making warrior's rush to skewer them on the spot. The outlaw held great faith that Ayaka's preparedness would only come a split second after his own, for the time?

Attack.

His body launched with a more recovered zeal due to the rest they've received upon the stolen boat. Crimson blurred with blonde as flash of light erupted within his hand, allowing for the heavy countenance of Kitain's cross spear is taken into his hand. The weight holds like a welcomed ally to Thoma and as his body dashed through the series of, weaving through each despite the scrapes to his cloak, a broad, upward crescent slash would be his rebuttal, the raw force alone tearing through armor, shattering bone and abruptly causing the small party to be blown upwards.

With a sudden breath taken, his attention is briefly taken to the mist that surrounds this beach, the shuffling of more defiled being an ill promise.

"Let's forge ourselves a path!"

Starter ; @helldustedstories

At night, the Circus took on a more ethereal tone lit only by soft fairy lights and the glow of each person's tent. Fizzarolli kept a quick pace wanting to avoid any of his fellow performers and their misplaced worry wondering why he was out so late. While things had eased in the past couple of years, he could still feel the stares behind his back. The flinch when he took a hit that years ago would garner a joke or tease.

He pulled his sleeve lower.

Stolas' tent was spaced from the others and nearly melted into the pitch. He bounced his knuckles on the tent "door" but kept his voice quiet figuring Octavia was already asleep. " Stolas— I need to talk to you. "

Something gave in his chest. He didn't know if it was relief or the peak of panic itself but he rested on it. Grounded himself in it. He could hear the distant tick-tock of the clock in the bedroom, the rush of Asmodeus' flames, and his own panicked breathing slowing above it all. Viewer and performer at once.

" Y'know— he. " It felt like sacrilege but he couldn't look away. Instead, his hand rose up to cover Asmodeus' on his chin. Held him, a loose grip on his wrist. Keep me.

" He liked, likes to make 'jokes'. Little things about us, about you. How he's known you longer and how if only I knew the 'Real Oz'. I would leave— When I react it's ' I'm so sensitive ' since I started working in Lust. Barely even Greed Ring material. "

The impression was terrible but he put it on anyway. " 'Surprised you've lasted this long, Fizz, usually he gets bored by now. ', 'Y'know, he always hated clowns. Surprised he can put up with you.' " Fizz closed his eyes. Always with a grab, a poke, or a slap that knocked him off balance. How silly it was for him to get worked up over a bit of a roast when his job asked him to do the same to strangers. Grow a thicker skin, Fizzarolli.

He had no reason to believe him. If anything else, he had every reason to see the obvious dig under the gentle persona. But— " I trust you. And I know you. But he knows exactly how to eat at me. And when I push back he reminds me how easy he can make it all go away. How easy he can make it go away. "

Fizzarolli felt like an idiot. A tired idiot who played into Greed's hand. He laced his fingers with Asmodeus' and let his shoulders drop. " I'm sorry, Oz. "

In the disarray that once started as a peaceful meal together, it was inevitable that things were only likely going to get worse before things got any better. Especially now, where anxiety was reaching its peak and it felt as though no matter how hard Asmodeus tried to get Fizzarolli back in present time, it was proving to be futile so far.

Much like the weeks prior to this one, that oncoming downfall. ... Is this the downfall of them? Answer that for him, at least.

❝ And it's your prerogative...! Only it seems to me that's the only thing you're honing in on right now. ❞ One thing at a time, Asmodeus. ❝ You think you're nothing but I'm not understanding where you're getting this concept that you have to be something in order for me to want you. To be wanted at all! You do bring value! You bring worth, growth! You bring something that I haven't been able to for a while...! ❞

I'm lucky I have you, Fizzarolli.

❝ Fizzie... ❞ thunder claps again from a near distance. Another wave of heavy rain pours over Lust, a tidal wave as broken heartstrings are becoming more apparent. His own shoulders are dropping, almost defeated and ready to bite the bullet; close the casket.

Promises don't carry weight in value. They haven't been. Which is why finding the words to say anything further hurts even more. Maybe they should split? Maybe they can regroup later on? A relationship is probably the last thing Fizz needs right now, so far it's proving to be too much to handle. So why...

❝ Hold on. He said? ❞ He? As in... how strange. The way the downpour almost pauses completely before dispersing into a flurry yet that thunder remains ever-present and everlasting with a new fierceness. Talon raises Fizzarolli's chin, turning imp's eyes on him as the other hand works to support — keeping him steady. He's so overworked, it's a miracle he can even stand upright like this. ❝ He said what? ❞
