#{{aaaaa sorry for the lack of activity!!

[moonspirit]

Hi Moon, I hope you are well! I wanted to drop in and say OH MY GOD THE NEW CHAPTER?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?

First of all, remember you made a poll/question asking what readers want to see more of and I said REINER POV and YOU MADE IT HAPPEN. It was heartbreaking but also SO SO GOOD AND AAAAA I can't believe how well you wrote him and his thoughts. Also fuck Karina man, I hope she falls in the lake and freezes over 🌚 maybe she can take Mrs Leonhart with her too👀

Then, CONNIE??? HE'S THE STAR HERE OMG I fucking love the way he's so serious about this ginger bread project. But also, how did Connie of all people become the serious, responsible and grounded one of the group🫢

Then, JEANPIKU AAAAAAAAAA I can't believe they're acting so flustered and they didn't even kiss yet like HELLOOO how will you guys react after that??? Terrible at hiding emotions fr!

I also want to take a moment to appreciate LEVI IN THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE THIS MAN HAS MISSING FINGERS AND IS STILL DOING HIS VERY BEST. Him sulking?? Him agreeing with Connie on the Annie crystalizing moment (which btw made me snort), him going along with this "plan" to help Armin and Jean?? Yes!!!

Below I added my favorite passages from this chapter. What a delightful read! I can't wait to do some drawing in the future of my favorite moments! Absolutely want to capture some of these!

Hellllooo stella!! T_____T Thank you so much for reading, I'm so happy to know you enjoyed the chapter aaaaaaaaa T^T

Yeeesss the poll-not-poll thingy xD This chapter has been in the works for months now, so it wasn't a sudden thing! But you actually guessed right under that post and it was a struggle to not tell you "Bingo!" XD

I'm very glad to know you liked the Reiner POV tho T_T I admit it was quite difficult to actually put into words; severe depression, especially the physical manifestation of it, is tricky to actually explain seriously without it sounding silly. Imo a lot of the ways depression shows up in daily life are very quiet and "tiny" - for example, Reiner's struggle to get out of bed and the sudden confusion that envelopes him as he stands in the middle of his room and doesn't know what to do next.

Also fuck Karina man, I hope she falls in the lake and freezes over 🌚 maybe she can take Mrs Leonhart with her too👀

I laughed SO hard xD Glad to know you all hate her! Horrible reptile indeed.

On a serious note, I think... the warrior parents (with the exception of Pieck's father who seems, for the lack of more information, quite nice actually) might've actually had their eyes opened to the cruelty they dealt their children, but such realizations imo aren't total 180s. Both Mr. Leonhart and Karina are different now, yes, they no doubt value Annie and Reiner as actual people more than just as tools, but... it's highly likely they both also continue to hurt their children, probably unwittingly. Parents who view their children as trophies do not easily come down to a level where they are content with just the happiness of said children. I won't get into Mr. Leonhardt right now (to be discussed at a later point), but while Karina might really love Reiner, his status as Hero and Ambassador is still valuable to her. He is still a trophy son, someone she can show off to others. I don't say Karina does this intentionally, but it is incredibly harmful behaviour, especially to a vulnerable son like Reiner.

Okay wait I rambled, sorry xD

CONNIE BTW, IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SINGLE VALUABLE BRAINCELL AT THE MOMENT (among the six). I hc he'd really love community projects - hence gingerbread town, it's kinda funny he'd be the only one so fired up about it xD That said poor guy has his work cut out for him now, so RIP Connie Boy.

I also want to take a moment to appreciate LEVI IN THIS CHAPTER

T_____T Father of several adoptive children humouring his idiot son's excitement over gingerbread-town - ISN'T IT A NICE PICTURE TO HAVE?!! Aaaahhhh I really loved writing him doing such a silly activity, it was very heartwarming. But where Levi is, there are also sarcastic one-liners and maybe I enjoyed those a little too much xD So glad to know you enjoyed them too, Stella, thank you T_T!

These passages... yeah xD Things have been too sad lately, it was time for the sillies! I'm incredibly glad this chapter made you laugh.

Thank you so much for the lovely words, you're too kind T^Tb

[humanfleshbutcher]

hi!! first off, i would like to say i love your writing! it is just so descriptive and eloquent 😍💖 i was graced when i found your account because i am suffering from a severe lack of puss in boots content </3

anyway- enough of my rambling. i was wondering if i could request a romantic/platonic puss fanfic :3 i was in the snow a few days ago with my friends, and we got to the point where we started to talk about how our cats would react if they were brought in the snow. so i thought it would be pretty cute to see the puss and the reader seeing snow for the first time!

there's no rush- i no writing can be hard and energy-consuming sometimes. have a great day!!

aww thanks!! I have kind had a writers block but now with more requests coming in, IM BACK :D Also same, the reason I started writing Puss in boots cuz I just couldn't find any stories about him lol 😭

Puss in boots x reader 'Snow days'

Summary: You and Puss are seeing snow for the first time, thoughts?

TW: None

-----------------------------------------------------

For this adventure, you and team friendship had to go to a different land. Kitty has been there, and she says there might be snow there.

You and Puss have NEVER seen snow, might be because you're living in a country in which snow is quite rare, or you've just never been around long enough to see it fall.

But for this one, you're gonna feast your eyes on the white which will coat the ground.

----------------------------

"Y/N, wake up!" A violent shake stirred you from your sleep, startling you up.

"What?!" You shook your head as you looked at Perrito, who was wagging his tail in excitement.

"Come outside!"

You watched the small dog run out of the tent, leaving you alone. Curiosity killed the cat (pun intended) and you decided to not keep your friend waiting and stepped outside.

White, everywhere.

Like a white powder covering the face of the earth. You've never seen this before. It was fascinating.

It was snow.

"Y/N!" You heard your name being called. It was Puss, his fur littered in the white snow. He looked super excited, which rose your excitement and adrenaline.

"Puss!" You responded, stepping onto the snow. It was a little weird, but this was pretty much the way you imagined snow.

You both admired the snow, it was a new sight for both of you. You were both a little confused, but y'all got the spirit. You both watched as Perrito played around in the snow, jumping in and out of the cold heaps.

"Ow!" Puss exclaimed, you looked at him, looking back and seeing Kitty who was holding a snowball in her hand.

"Now that you finally seen snow, how about I teach you some games?" Kitty suggested, throwing the snowball up into the air and catching it.

You puss shared a look, but it was interrupted when a snowball hit Puss again.

"OHMYGOSH SNOWBALL FIGHT!" Perrito shrieked, instantly making a snow boulder, you also made a defence wall and started preparing your snowballs.

The fight was tragic, you had to face your own team, but even then your determination didn't falter. You took down Perrito first (sorry bud) and then made an alliance with Puss to take down Kitty.

The alliance proved true, as you both defeated Kitty. But now, it was just the two of you. A war can only be won, by one. It was a battle against you two now.

It wasn't long until there was a clear winner.

The winner being You.

You celebrated your victory and rubbed it in their faces.

But soon the sun started setting, and seeing as you were all now drenched in melted snow, you all decided it was best to leave the cold activities behind and make a campfire.

You loved the snow. You wish you'd seen it more before, but for now it's not time to worry about what you didn't see before, but it's time to look to the present, and look upon many more victories in the snow.

FINALLY IM DONE AAAAA

Hihi I love ur batfam writing so much I love how u write them as daddy’s boys/girl and how bruce is so affectionate cuz!!!!! He is just!!! A guy with a big heart!!! I was wondering if you had any cass specific hcs cuz she’s my fave and I feel like she severely lacks tender hcs with Bruce from the fandom compared to her brothers 😞😞😞😞 like !! i rlly love the idea of her dancing while standing on his feet bc I used to do it at father daughter dances and I just think him dancing with her like that at maybe a gala and his baby girl being his “date” is just so cute 😭💀😭😭💀⛓️💀😭💀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 anyway I am sorry for the long writing ur acc and writing just makes me very happy :]]]

AAAAA don't apologize, I'm always super happy to receive asks!! AND about my favourite girl Cass no less! Oh man oh mannn

I love love love the headcanon that Cass has the easiest time receiving affection from Bruce. She soaks up hugs and forehead kisses and late, post nightmare cuddling like a cat sunbathing in summer.

I feel like she's got a smooth road in showing Bruce affection, too! Damn, you can't give your dad a hug without your daddy issues activating? Couldn't be me. Cass is generous with hand holding and koala hugging, and nose kisses and mid dance practice hugs.

I LOOOVE Cass being a clothes thief. I love love love love it. Even if Bruce only owns the same black shirt in different tones ("This is spring black, and this is wet asphalt black. There's a difference ") Cass is very happy to shimmy in it

There's like, nothing to support this headcanon, but I like to believe Cass wasn't confident in her own ability to touch something without hurting it. She touches anything and anything bleeds. That's how it's always been.

So I like to believe she observed her siblings, one by one, analysed their affection patterned and tried to decode which one Bruce responded to best and replicate it . It doesn't help her at all that every "style" is Bruce's favourite.

Eventually Bruce finds out, and says she couldn't hurt him worse than Gotham did, and he's still out there trying to make it better; You don't love someone for the sake of loving them. You love them for the sake of knowing them.

" You're my daughter; My number one girl," he smiles at her and it makes summer blush in her chest. " I'd have you no other way. " And that's when Cass realizes, she got her loving side from Bruce. She knows she loves the world because she loves Bruce.

“So? Don't you have any wishes to make?” “... hmmm, just one, but... It's kind of stupid.” “Don't say that! Come on, I promise I won't laugh.” “... hmmm... if I say my wish... You promise you won't laugh at me?” “Of course I won't laugh!” “Someday, I'd like to climb this mountain we're all buried under.” Standing under the stars, looking at the world all around... That's my wish.” “... hey, you said you wouldn't laugh at it!” ‘Sorry, it's just funny...” “That's my wish, too.”

[hahahax30]

aaaaa ck

You can ignore this

But basically

I was just generally talking about how underage drinking is kinda bad

And my ‘friend’ who’s low-key an awful person got triggered for some reason

Anyway point is- she said I’m a pretentious bitch and other insults I can’t repeat and then walked out

Anyway the problem is that we have a volunteering job we have to do together every week

Anywayyy YEAH

this is bad simply because this little fight didn’t actually bother me however she has a really big mouth and everyone’s going to hear about it which is pretty annoying

Idk, how do you navigate these things- I usually don’t get involved in this stuff lol

(PS last week she basically called me a loner and and said she could never be like me) 😭💀

Fuck

Pari that sucks, I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

I usually try not to engage in drama? I have my opinions on stuff, but I'm not going to actively state them unless I'm asked to, if that makes sense. Yk, underage drinking is horrible, mainly because it's detrimental to their health, but at the end of the day it's not something you can control and ultimately a minor's decision to engage in or not. I try to respect that and move on with life. I know I don't want xyz for whatever reasons but truly lack the authority to force my believes onto others (as long as yk I'm not a parent with a child under my care, a professional operating in a professional setting, etc) so any 'unpopular opinion' could backfire on me and I don't really want that lol.

Aside from that, I would tell you dump that friend. There's a difference between having a row with someone with opposing views but who otherwise respects you, and arguing with someone who doesn't respect you. Your friend seems to fall into the later category so down with the friend I say!

[cloudypinkblink]

Hello, same anon here from the previous ask about this au

I want to know how the relationship is between masaru and chika since I do feel like it might be a bit different?

Also was Sayuri with masaru when the accident happened or was it like at school and a staff member had to call her?

Hey anon I hope you're doing well!! Thanks for asking again :D I really like this au and I'm glad to flesh it out!! I think Masaru and Chika are a good bit closer compared to canon; this is because she does have to help him a bit in the beginning (as much as a young kid her age can), but she what she really does is actively help him feel normal. She doesn't go out of her way to explain everything to him visually speaking, and she'll play games he enjoys (as they do in canon, I like to believe given her birthday episode) and just he's able to enjoy just listening to her reactions and the story. But she still likes to mess with him sometimes and just say something is a different color or says something is hwere it isn't, in typical little sister-big brother fashion. She doesn't take advantage of his lack of sight when she's angry with him though; she respects that and doesn't cross that line. I think she might end up saying something really mean and insensitive when she's really, really angry with him- like in that episode with the digimon that's giving Masaru a bunch of misfortune, and they gotta apologize for pushing each other too far, but she has to acknowledge she really really crossed a line with that, and she won't do it again. As for Sayuri, she wasn't there. It was maybe a school accident while on a trip, and she really couldn't have done anything. However, this coupled with losing her husband and not knowing where he is or when he'll ever be back just kinda riddles her with insecurity and guilt; she feels as though it's her fault and she couldn't even protect her own children properly, and Suguru's going to come back and find she failed him in the one thing she should have done. She struggles a good bit with that (and maybe those dark feelings bring on a digimon, especially as her worry and guilt grows once Masaru gets in all this digimon stuff..) But she puts up her usually canon happy front where she's strong and firm; and she does love them and does her best to show it (and make it up to masaru) Masaru hasn't realized his mother's dealing with this guilt yet- he is just 14. He's hitting the point in his life where he's likely becoming a bit more concious of these things. Aaaaa a huge ramble!! Sorry! I'm just really loving this!!!

[pageofheartanalysis]

page of blood analysis perhaps?

Aaaaa ayes yes yes!!!

I love me a good page. And the blood aspect is one of my favorites !!! That's your fun fact for the day!!!!!

Pages! Pages are severely underestimated in all cases, the typical all upper case underdog!!!!! They start off with a deficit in their aspect, often playing it up despite reality never really matching up with what they say. Almost like when they reassure someone it just sounds like they are trying to reassure themselves yknow? But like any underdog, they rise to the top and master aspect and understand it fully even if the journey to get there is long and tedious. It's speculated that they are one who serves aspect or one who serves through their aspect for others. . It's counterpart is. It's believed to be a passive class though with he limited info we have. Pages also always start off with a deficit in their aspect, with Tavros becoming disabled and being literally tied down to the groundand starting the game with borderline pipedreams of flying. Horuss Zahhak starts with a deficit of.. literally nothing. He's happy, smart, relatively well liked amongst his friends, a good relationship till rufioh fucks shit up as per usual. He suffers from nothing, which is what Void is. One of Dirks splinters reveal that Pages can be really powerful, even strong enough to defeat someone like Lord English, but only if they unlock and realize their true potential!!! A pages active counterpart is speculated to be a Knight. While it's direct inverse is a Thief.

Aaaaaa. Blood! Blood blood blood!!!! Blood is all about connections, bonds, and promises!!!! Blood players are often what keeps their group together like glue (cough ignore what happened with karkats session, Full of broken bonds and relationships and promises). But if you look at Kankris session they all seem to be relatively on good terms with each other, tho seemingly unite day the disdain for much of a hypocrite he is. And the Signless is pretty cut and dry, dude was stress up the Troll messiah uniting entire castes system in a bloody revolution!! They are mostly inspirational leaders, not commanding ones. Karkat tried to command rather than inspire and it didn't end the best but hey it wasn't a total flop so that's also possible!! Blood players can be inspiring, charming, and magnetic but they can also be hypocritical, restricting and very set in their aspect despite others bests interests. Ther inverse of Blood is Breath

So the opposite of a Page of Blood would be a Thief of Breath! Nice!

Let's get into combining the two!!

Alright so! A Page of Blood starts out lacking their aspect, but seem to play it up to over compensate for that fact and try to hide it. Maybe a page of Blood is lacking in real friends or bonds. They might be a loner, though not necessarily by choice. It's jsut hoe things seem to be. I picture them to be like that one tiktok audio: "I have friends i definitely have friends! Friends friends friendly friends its time to meet my friends" They don't have a whole lot to lean on, despite Maybe trying to be that for other people. They try to be friends but they might play up their own personality or act how they think the person they are trying to be friends with will like when instead they just need to be themselves. Forcing friendships never work. They need to jsut get some serious self reflection!They might even start of with a lacking in self defense or soemthing like that. Lacking in physical blood (not anemic wise I mean like.. you get the point)

A fully realized Page of Blood would be one of the most dare I say influential classpects to date! They would have an uncanny ability to unite almost anyone no matter how cast their differences are as long as its for what they believe is the greater good. They could be a powerful leader and commander, and probably even well liked!!

Hope this was helpful!

(I couldn't find a good image of a page of Blood I'm so sorry)

[unu-nunu-art]

How full is your plate currently? You seem to have a lot going on at the moment between asks, comics, and other stuff.. Is there something us followers can do to lighten the load? (Also I accidentally clicked on the 'Send A Message' Button and my anxiety hit the roof-)

That’s super sweet of you, but I’m afraid there’s not much that can be done about this. Taking things literally, my month basically looks like this...

It’s basically three plates, every single month. Last year, there even was a fourth plate for university, yay! I dropped out though because I was studying nano-engineering (tried physics before that) because I moved like 300 km away from my home place and my place was almost the only one in my country to teach that (and going back to physics is NOT an option) and considering how many OTHER things needed my attention... I believe it’s no wonder I wasn’t doing super well. In exchange, I raised my work hours and thanks to having moved the IRL plate also grew! :’D

To be fair I work as a part-timer instead of full-time because otherwise I simply wouldn’t get ANYTHING done, but having to work 2-3 days (atm it’s two but I’m starting to go back to 3 next month in July) it’s still something that takes a remarkable amount of time off my week. 

IRL stuff is slowly going a little bit down, but since my car is broken since I moved here we are finally having the time to go and check on that... also I still haven’t done my taxes. There’s still naked light bulbs around the apartment, but we couldn’t get any because virus. Also we lack a dinner table but that’s coming in like 2 months!! Oh also we bought a hamster last week (again. I just love my tiny furballs) and she is ADORABLE but she chewed my thumb today because I guess I am just that delicious.

Finally, my monthly tasks in drawing include: 2 fully colored comic pages, multiple of Patron Requests, Commissions (only 2 slots each month and commissions are Patrons only because... come on) and illustrating asks because... I wanna do those. Aside from that, I look through all comments and asks I get (sitting at over 200 asks right now despite violent purges) and my Patreon Discord so checking social medias I am active on takes time as well, then I would have to cram in some time for agas somewhere and probably stuff I forgot about. I am constantly behind and whenever I think that I’ve finally can work ahead, something happens and I am thrown further behind again. 

People asked me about a commission price list, and I STARTED to work on a google doc for that but it’s far from complete. People also asked me for merchandise for Temp and Pale. There is honestly nothing cooler than having people ask for merch of these two (just thinking people love my beans enough to wanting to buy stuff with their faces on it is just... aaaaa!!), and I would genuinely love to produce some stuff for more than a two years now, but between managing everything of this each month, getting information about how to produce merch (in the EU, not the states because shipping that to my place is simply not worth it) and making the merch I just... can’t. ;w;

Or maybe this isn’t even as much work and I will immediately admit that I am not mentally strong enough to burn through all of these with ease each month. Maybe I am just whining and an idiot for wanting to play some video games sometimes instead. 

So if you have any good pages and tips for making merch for me (once again, I live in Europe, not in the United States!), I’d love to see them! Maybe also throw some CSP tutorials at me because I am used to my old (!!) Photoshop CS3 (yes I am that dumb) for like 15 years now, installed the thing two days ago and just wanna cry, or simply consider to check out my Patreon - My honest recommendation is the 5$ tier *winks*)

Sorry for the long post, but when I ramble, I ramble. Now you know the almost full extent of what’s going on right now. I still love drawing, I am apparently doing pretty well in my job and the apartment’s coming along so I cannot complain. Also I get to see my gf every single day instead of twice a month and that’s more than worth it! It’s just a lot every single month for years now, not gonna lie.

[shsldepressedlesbian]

Can I get aaaaa 44 (with the kiss thing) with touko and komaru please

WAAA i am sorry this is so late aha!! this might also be kinda ooc,, its been awhile since i wrote toko and komaru and they are kinds hard to write. still, i hope you like it!!

44: Tentative kisses given in the dark.

Toko registers a pair of warm lips brush her much colder ones, and immediately steps back.

She'd normally be much more excited if those lips belonged to a tall, wealthy, blonde man, in someplace like his personal library, where they could make all the steamy love they wanted without interruption.

But no, they belonged to an awkward, plain, considerably annoying girl with an attenata that poked out of the top of her hair that made Toko wonder if those things ran in the family, and right now they were in a dark alleyway hiding from those robotic demons of bears.

It was Komaru's idea to stop here anyways, saying that there were too many monokumas that there was no way she could take them all out, but if they waited a little longer she betted they could find a path to go through without getting caught.

Toko couldn't activate her either, considering she had just had her run and if Toko used the stun gun again so soon she'd surely fry her brain, and she'd much rather die with the last thing she saw being master.

Of course, they could try and get Toko to sneeze or just show her a dead body covered in blood and get her to faint, but was there any real need for that?

“W-what do you think you’re doing?!” She hisses, and she can feel her facing going hot, though luckily any embarrassing blush wouldn’t be visible in the darkness. Even if she can’t see her properly, she can imagine that Komaru was looking surprised by the objection- perhaps embarrassed?

...Serves her right. Thinking she can just get away with that just like that...

“Ah, sorry,” is a quiet apology, a little rushed. “I, um, thought it was fine to try and… kiss you. Since we’ve done it a few times before already…”

Komaru… wasn’t wrong, actually. Toko’s mind went over those ‘few times’- just a few, ever since that night they spent together in that underground bunker.

Of course, all of those times were fatal mistakes. Toko’s heart and body, afterall, belonged to Byakuya, and nothing would ever change that. Which was why those times didn’t matter.

It was never Toko who initiated these ‘kisses’ anyways- it was almost always Komaru, explaining that she wanted to become more ‘experienced’ for the day she got an actual partner.

Really, calling her a slut just wouldn’t be the right word. Toko wasn’t sure what to use for Komaru. She may not be as experienced as she first thought, but Toko refused to think of her as ‘innocent’.

...It wasn't like Toko had wanted to kiss the girl. She probably should have refused, looking back at it, but she had already told Komaru that she herself had plenty of experience with Byakuya, and at that point if she backed out Komaru might have picked up on the truth and she'd look like a desperate fraud.

Besides, at the time, Toko figured that there was nothing wrong with two girls exchanging a few kisses.

"Well obviously this isn't the right time!" Toko spats, glancing around in the dark. "There's monokumas everywhere- we could get caught if we aren't focused-"

"That was the point…"

Toko's body freezes, head spinning wildly to face the outline of her comrade. "E-eh?"

"I… wanted to kiss you… so I could calm down…" Is Komaru's hesitant voice, and Toko can basically see her look away with her hands to her chest. "It… feels nice, soooo…"

Toko's face makes an attempt to go hotter. This was the first time in her life someone had ever called anything about her 'nice'. Especially her kissing ability.

"...You're serious?"

"O-of course!" Komaru hurriedly replies, and even though Toko wants to take this as evidence she's lying, it does sound admittedly sincere. "I wouldn't lie about that!"

...Well, better to catch a ride while she can, right?

"W-well, of course it feels nice to kiss me! Afterall, with all my experience… really, there's no wonder why a high school girl like you practically shakes in her panties…" Toko takes a new tone, trying to sound as confident as she can.

"Hey, aren't you just a year older then me?" Komaru sounds slightly offended, but of all the things she could be offended at, it was the high school girl comment? Really?

"T-that's not the point! I still have more experience, making me the more mature one, anyways…" The maturity thing wasn't a lie, anyways. But really, being more mature then Komaru didn't seem like much of an accomplishment…

But! It's probably best to just get this conversation out of the way, so the sooner they could do what Komaru apparently had to, and then move on to more pressing matters.

"Listen, do you want a k-kiss or not!?" Toko points at the girl's silhouette, though it feels unlikely she'll see it.

"Ah…!" There's a noise of surprise from Komaru. "Really? It's okay if I-?"

"DUH! I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't, yeesh!" The writer cuts in. Komaru seemed to have a tendency to blabber too much, which easily got on her nerves.

"Ok…!" But the girl sounds a little too nervous, when she really shouldn't, since she was the one who brought up the kiss in the first place.

Nevertheless, Toko stays still as the silhouette shuffles a little more near her, before feeling a warm hand find itself on her shoulder. She flinches out of habit, but quickly calms down as it slowly slides up.

For a moment, Toko thinks that maybe this is a little too intimate for a platonic kiss, but now Komaru's hand is on her cheek, and there's no return. Not that the writer would be so much of a pussy to back out now.

There's a pause, and Toko almost expects the girl to insult her, maybe commenting on her breath or how hot her face suddenly was, but there's none of that when she finally feels lips on her own.

It lasts almost too briefly, however, and Komaru pulls away.

Toko finds herself… disappointed? Really, that was just a peck, and after making such a big deal about it, she'd expect Komaru at least to put some more backbone into it-

But the lips return, as brief as the last, but now it happens again a little more quicker. Small kisses, with brief pauses in between, as though hesitant.

...It's a little strange, and one long kiss really should have been enough, but she can't find the time to complain. Instead, she decides to try her best to return the kisses.

It isn't bad kissing Komaru, actually, Toko considers. The other's lips, even with the state of the world and a considerable lack of chapstick, were soft and perky against the writer's cracked and cold ones(which Komaru herself never complained about somehow), and she couldn't deny that doing so caused hints of butterflies to rise at the pits of her stomach.

But it's not like that means anything. Besides, all of this would be forgotten when she got to see Master Byakuya again.

Or so she tries her best to convince herself as she finds a hand entwining with Komaru's, feeling perhaps, a little comforted herself.

“Soulmates. They say it’s a wonderful thing, to meet another being, handcrafted by the universe to perfectly complement you. To make an incomplete being whole. Theorists say that during the big bang, two atoms-”

“Catch a load of that bullshit.” He turned off the TV. Falling back into his chair, Reese covered his eyes with the back of his wrist, the remote falling to the group with a sharp clatter. Whatever, he could pick it up later. Swinging his legs over the armrest, Reese hung his head back and stared at the poster covered wall as the blood rushed to his head. “Maybe I’ll just sleep like this tonight, my bed is cold anyways.” he said to nobody. Reese lived alone after all. Feeling bitter, Reese sat up properly again, feeling lightheaded as the blood rushed out. Why was he even in this sort of mood again?

Oh that’s right. Soulmates. Everyone seemed to have one. He had been reminded of this unwittingly by his online friend that he had been gaming with earlier. “Look at this! Matching armor! We could be like soulmates in this game.” Reese had simply laughed it off, although his mood was now spoiled. Apologizing, Reese had saved and logged off. 

The plan had been to make some dinner, more specifically another pot of instant ramen. While waiting for water to boil, Reese had pulled out his phone and scrolled through his feeds on Instagram and Twitter. Opening the stories, he was met with images of happy people holding and showing off their colorful soulmate marks on their wrists. The phone was immediately put away, he didn’t want to go there. Putting the boiled water aside, Reese opted for some icecream. He couldn’t be assed to cook anymore. If his stomach hurt in the morning it hurt in the morning.

Lazily lounging on his bed, Reese rolled onto his side and blinked as his phone lit up with a new notification. It was his coworker friend.

reese! guess what! i found my soulmate!

A bitter taste formed in his mouth.

aaaaa that’s great! 

This wasn’t fair.

I know right~ and he’s wonderful! lemme spill the tea hold on hgfjkdghsl

He should be happy for his friend. Deciding to just read whatever she sent in the morning, Reese put his phone down. His light blue eyes glanced over the words on his wrist.

Or the lack thereof. 

The bold, gothic-font looking wisps stared back at him. They were still black, dull, and nonsensical. “Seriously.” Reese grumbled, seeing how the tattoo he got over it was fading once again. Everyone was born with their soulmate’s first words to them on their inner wrist, whether it was French, Chinese, English, Arabic, German- but no. Not him. He was delightfully blessed with these weird symbols. They didn’t match any language. He had researched on Quora, posted on Reddit and joined a few communities that helped you find your soulmate. Yet no lead, nothing. Reese had given up a years or two ago. He couldn’t remember. 

Rolling over, he hugged a pillow, burying his face into the soft material. “Maybe this is the universe telling I’ll just die alone or something,” he laughed out loud. It wasn’t funny, and before he knew it, memories were flooding into his mind and out onto his pillow. 

“Ew that is that?! Teacher he’s creepy! He doesn’t even have words!”

Stop it.

“Don’t worry, you don’t need someone to make you whole. You can live by yourself.”

I know, but I’m lonely

“Why can’t you just be normal? You’re so weird with your cringe hair and strange symbols.”

I want to be normal too.

This sucked. Reese snuggled under the blankets, closing his eyes and curling up, his arms still holding tightly around the pillow. Hearing a rustling noise, Reese decided that was too much thinking. If it was the stalker breaking into his home from that joke letter he replied to about 2 weeks ago then so be it. Maybe they would be his soulmate. 

Never in his wildest dreams would be imagine being in Hell. Or whatever they called it. Devildom? RAD? Was this an illusion? Did he get killed by a stalker that broke into his house? “I’m sure you’re all feeling very shocked-”

“I- phhfsh yeAh-” Reese stuttered, looking at the self-called demon in front of him. He turned to the other humans in the room and tried to figure out what was even happening anymore. They simply looked back at him and shook their heads. After a long explanation that Reese had a hard time following, they were suddenly. being paired up. A black haired girl went with “Satan” and the demon called Asmodeus led a cheerful freckled girl out of the hall. One by one they were paired up, leaving Reese alone. Again. 

“Ah, there seems to be a mix up, give us a few minutes.” Diavolo smiled apologetically, checking a list and talking to the demon next to him. The black haired one, Lucifer frowned and sighed, pulling out a phone and calling someone. Reese stood there a little dumbfounded. After some angry yelling and quiet threats, Lucifer hung up the phone. 

“Mammon will be here in just a few moments-”

“I’M HERE-” a loud voice echoed in the room, following a loud slamming open of the door. Reese wasn’t able to properly see who entered before the white haired man was up in Lucifer’s face complaining. Ah, he must be Mammon. “Now why do I have to do this? You know I’ve got things to do! The Great Mammon-” yep, definitely Mammon. “-is too busy to look after some human! Oi! Stop looking at me like that, wait fine I’ll do it....”

“Anosa, I’m not just doing this because I’m scared of lucifer or anything-” Mammon turned around to address Reese, and indignant pout on his face. Reese could feel his breath hitch slightly. As confusing as the whole thing was, the men in the room were certainly fine as fuck, but this one. This one took the bill. Even so, the words stung slightly. “So just listen to what I say and don’t give me trouble, ya hear me??”

“I’d throw my wallet at you-” Reese muttered under his breath, before clearing his throat. Mammon tilted his head a little bit, not clearly hearing what Reese said. Reese’s face flushed a bright red, and he held up his hands. “Wait no no no I’m sorry, but I’m sure I can figure out my way around so you really don’t have to or anything, I’ll just find a directory or something.” Reese ran his fingers through his purple hair nervously, suddenly feeling self conscious. Mammon grabbed Reese’s wrist suddenly, disbelief etched on his face. “Wha-what is it.”

“This is Devilspeak.” Mammon muttered in disbelief, and Reese blinked. Nani the fuck did Mammon say? Looking down at the gothic font, it had bloomed into a brilliant mix of rainbow colors. It had activated. Mammon immediately dropped Reese’s wrist and pulled up his sleeve, looking giddy. On his inner wrists was some english words, also blooming the rainbow colors. 

“I think we match!” Match? It was activated? Reese furrowed his eyebrows, eaning in to see what was written on Mammon’s wrist. Sure enough, there it was. I’d throw my wallet at you. Mammon looked back up at Reese and smiled widely, his white teeth flashing. He looked as if he was a puppy offered 50 treats. Reese felt his stomach sink. So this was his legacy. “So will you actually do it- Ow! Hey!” Mammon was cut off by Lucifer smacking him across the back of the head quite hard.

“How strange, we were wondering why that appeared on him a while ago.” Lucifer leaned over Mammon’s shoulder and looked over the colorful markings. “It’s been a while since demon’s have gotten these.”

“This is Mammon, second born brother and the Avatar of Greed. He seems to be your soulmate.”

// aaaaa really sorry about the lack of activity, I don't have much access to the computer this week, seeing as my mom is currently working from home, so I can't really answer stuff right now :'D

// I am, however, still here to chat in dms

[swxxt-hibiscus]

💀☆ — &&NEO. AAAAA so sorry about the lack of activity on here! I've been working on remaking my multi & making icons for hatsune miku & other muses; also I've been having major burnout from irl junk but I'm doing a lot better now. If anyone wants my discord to chat/plot my tag is Amia#9678

[synchronmurmurs]

Hi Sync, advice anon from before. Hope you're doing well today 💙

Do you know if posting helps keep you motivated? As of now I only really ever share my writing with my best friend, who isn't in the DMC fandom but indulges me nonelethess (bless her soul), and I'm wondering if actually posting something to the community would encourage me to stick with it. I've never really posted anything before (ignoring an all-too-cringe fic I did as a teen), so I've got that beginner's fright. If it may help though then I'd try to kick myself into doing it

I appreciate all the help you're offering hun, warms my cold dead heart 🖤🖤🖤

Well, I just woke up, so things can only get better from here, right? 🥴 I hope the day’s been treating you aite though, nonnnie! Surreal that March is going to be upon us again soon...

But aaaaa, I’m sorry, I’d just kind of assumed you were already active within the fanfic community when you sent that other ask, that’s my bad. 🙏 Posting can potentially give you what you’re looking for, getting feedback/kudos/comments etc is always going to be a boost of motivation, but that being said - and I’ve actually said this before real recently - I do feel like posting with the expectation of positive feedback and attention feels like the wrong approach to have? I really don’t wanna run the whole “WRITE FROM UR HEART!!!!!!!!” mentality into the ground (which I’ve probably already done and bored people to tears with), but that is genuinely how I feel. Not because it’s a reflection of the individual, but more that I think it’ll show in what you write? Labour of love/passion projects will probably be more satisfying to write than anything else, I think. 🤔 Or that’s how it is for me, anyway.

I’m not trying to accuse you of having this mindset at all though nonnie, but the lack of feedback can sometimes be a bit of a deterrent for continual updates, especially if you, like you’ve said, haven’t posted anything before. I definitely understand that can be discouraging, so I wanted to at least have that on the table.

That aside though, if you think having that public accountability (there’s no softer way to phrase that I’m sorry sfkdh) will help you stay motivated, then by all means, defs go for it!! Writing’s kind of a different journey for everybody, and there’s no one foolproof method to make someone stick to their guns.

...I genuinely feel like I’ve just gone on a huge tangent with this whole answer, I’m so sorry 😶💦💦

[franeridart]

are you going to draw more of that lovely erasermic? :o

Unless I find reasons to stop shipping them in the near future, then sure~ as I said, I really like that ship

Anon said:i love it when you draw chris and josh, you should do it more!! Your oc's are great!!

THANK YOU! I’m really really happy to hear you like them! I draw them just as much as I wish to, tho haha

Anon said:THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH MORE CHRIS!!

Anon said:Honestly I love your ocs so much! I like seeing your fanart because you really flesh out characters we don't get enough development of, but I really love seeing your ocs. I can tell you love them and enjoy drawing them just by looking at it, and that makes me love them even more! You're a wonderful artist!

SOB thank you!!!!! holy heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;O; I can’t believe how much love my kids get hahaha I’m so so grateful aaahhhh!!!!

Anon said:Okay, so I was just going to tell you how great your comic is (and it is), but I just read your last ask to that anon, and I'm sorry, but deku didn't do nothing to gain his quirk? Like, what? He risked his life and almost killed himself trying to say his exfriend/then bully? That isn't just "being nice"? He didn't know all Might would save him? He risked his life even though he was powerless just to help another person? He earned the quirk, all Might said so in the second episode, like, what?

Since you don’t seem to want a polite and civil exchange of opinions on this, and are actually being incredibly rude here (whether you meant for it or not, I don’t know) I hope you won’t mind me keeping this as short as I can. All Might worked in the beginning of the bnha manga as a textbook definition of a deus ex machina, came around, solved an otherwise unsolvable plot point out of the blue bending the laws that had just been established for that universe, and Deku literally (literally) didn’t have to go through any conscious trial, soul-search or any other self-aware journey with the intention of fixing his own problem. All he did was to be heroic and to be quirkless, which for him are circumstances since those are innate traits of his character. And the only singular thing he has is that he’s quirkless, his heroic personality is shared by all of UA (Mina acted in the exact same way in Kirishima’s backstory as he did to save Bakugou, didn’t get any cool op powers out of it)

All Might was supposed to give OfA to Mirio, the literal most heroic character in bnha, a boy who had been working his ass off to become a proper hero since he was a child, but instead he found a quirkless kid and decided that he deserved a chance to become a hero too. I’m not saying that’s not true, or that Deku didn’t deserve it. I’m saying that he didn’t actively or consciously do anything to gain that power. He simply acted in a way true to his self, and that was it.

I’m gonna have to make present to you that the next time I get an ask with that tone in my inbox I’m blocking you without answering. I’m not here to be called an idiot by the first random stranger I find online, if you want a conversation with me all I’m asking is for you to be polite, that’s not too much at all in my opinion.

Anon said:Your last BakuShima comic was so cute!!! AAAAA!! 💖

Thank you!!! I’m super happy you liked it!!!!!! :O

Anon said:I love you. So much right now. Can I give you a virtual hug because I swear

I dunno what I did to deserve this but SURE *holds u back*

Anon said:do you think you'd ever sell any minajirou merch? (maybe like the one with the flower background) because if you do i would buy 20 (not literally but,, i think you get the point) Sorry if this sounds annoying or anything! im just curious

Not annoying at all!!! If I remember right the one I posted was a bit small tho, I’ll have to see if I can work with the size in a way that would fit the default redbubble dimensions... if I can’t I’ll be sure to make the next one big enough to fit, tho!!!! And thank you for wanting to buy my stuff!!!!! :O

Anon said:I'M NOT THAT ANON BUT I CAN HELP W MOMOJIROUS & yes we totally agree they're fuckin gay and canon there's no doubts here. SO anyway I at least see them liking in each other exactly what you said- they have what the other lacks (or thinks they do), and still find the other to understand them and be interested in them in every sense of the word, also tol and beauty and smol and cute are def the first thoughts about each other, damn maybe I should have thought about word limit I need more space

Awwww anon I thank you for trying to explain to me why they work!!! But that’s not the problem I have with it at all haha I understand the ship on a superficial level perfectly, that’s why I ship it! I just can’t seem to find myself in the relationship anywhere, so empathizing with it comes harder than it does when it’s MinaJirou haha

Anon said:you draw kirishima's eyes so pretty I can't look away from them

THANK YOU Kirishima’s eyes are super pretty in canon, I’m so so happy I can portray that in my style well enough!!!!! :O

Anon said:Ok, sorry for going through ur hq!! tag sjeow, oh gosh I love ur art and ur art style and I love the way I draw the boys !!!! Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Thank u for blessing my night!!!! I hope something makes ur day the way going through ur art *cough* again *cough* made my day!!! (Also a question: what's ur second fave ship from hq!! after bokuroo?? )

MATSUHANA :O and thank you so so so so much for liking my stuff!!!!!!! I hope you’re having a great day today too, anon!!!

Anon said:I love you Fran, but I completely disagree with what you told the last anon about the idea behind bnha. You had me with the positivity concept, and I would also love it if eri could fix mirio and nighteye, but the rest of that was just so far off to me; and probably for many other fans in this community. Like, first, a story does not have to be the level of snk or dgray man to have bad things happen. That is how all story telling has been since the beginning of time.

A good narrative story is never straight sunshine and happiness throughout, even if it doesn't involve death. People don't just enjoy the bad things that happen in a story because it's realistic or because it's sad, they enjoy it because that is how a story and it's characters grow. They make mistakes and learn from them; these moments help the characters change and pushes them forward through every new obstacle. 

 It helps drive them and gives their stories/actions/ideals meaning and gives the audience a reason to care. And that is where I wonder if we are even reading the same story, because this concept is shown throughout the entirety of bnha. It is no where near the "positive-to-a-naive-point" you seem to believe it is. The story starts off with a weak, defenseless deku being beaten by his once best friend?

Like, I really don't want to sound condescending, but I don't understand how you could come to this conclusion. Bakugou has an inferiority complex from hell and suffers constantly from his own inner turmoil, todoroki has an an abusive father with a horrid childhood, iida's brother/idol was paralyzed and almost killed, shigaraki unknowingly killed his parents as a child, toshinori may still be alive, but all might (the hero) is gone to the world forever,

eri was used and experimented on HER ENTIRE LIFE, believing she was a disease to the world and could only cause suffering. I could go on for pages about the suffering these characters have ALREADY gone through- but that is okay, because the story is better for it. Because we as an audience wouldn't have cared nearly as much for deku's gain of one-for-all, if it wasn't for the trials and turmoil he faced his whole life living as a quirkless child;

Bnha is a positive story, but it does not rely solely on positivity to get by. It is a story about determination; to push back against adversity, to go on even in the face of the unknown or impossible; even if fate itself is against you. It's about climbing your mountains and beyond that, dare I say, beyond plus ultra. It's is not trying to adhere to its genre, it's is trying to be everything the genre could be and more, and as succeeded thus far.

Which is why I can understand the disappointment from the last anon, because solving everything through friendship and "hand holding" has become a norm in this genre specifically- and bnha is anything but quick and easy ways out.

Sorry if this is long, and I really hope you don't take this as an attack against you or your opinion. If that is all bnha is to you, and if that is how you perceive the show, who am I to say you are wrong. But I hope you understand what I have said at least, because you still are a huge inspiration to me as an artist and in this community. Hope the rest of your day goes alright.

Alright, first off, if you don’t want to come off as condescending try and maybe don’t be condescending. I’m nearly sure you didn’t do this consciously, considering how you ended the rant, but going “are we even reading the same story” when you supposedly want a civil exchange of opinions is the worst thing you could do ever. You pretty much said “I don’t wanna disregard your opinion but here is a list of reason why you’re wrong and I’m right”, please next time you mean to keep it civil try and avoid that, because that sounds just as bad as you’d assume.

Second, I thank you for the recap of all the tragic backstories bnha gave us, but my answer was about conclusions to arcs, not beginnings. I literally never once said that bnha is a happy-go-lucky story from start to end, I only said it made an habit of reaching for the best possible conclusion it could ever go for by the end of every arc up until now.

“The story starts off with a weak, defenseless deku being beaten by his once best friend”, sure (aside from the “once best friend”, Deku and Bakugou were never friends to begin with, please do reread the second Kacchan vs Deku for Bakugou’s view on their relationship) that’s how the story starts, and it ends with Deku with the strongest quirk on the planet, mentored by his childhood hero, with a civil and friendly rivalry with his childhood bully, on his way to become the number one hero, happy and loved and respected. “”Bakugou has an inferiority complex from hell and suffers constantly from his own inner turmoil” again, sure, and he could have given in to it and become a villain or let his terrible personality just become worse and worse, every single bad thing happened to him could have made him closer to a bad guy or given him good reasons to go against the heroes, and instead he’s working to become better, is loved and cherished, has friends that will build him up and care for him and risk their lives for him, and is actually in a way healthier place than he was in the beginning. “Todoroki has an an abusive father with a horrid childhood” SURE and now he’s got his mother back, he’s learnt to be the bigger person and put distance between himself and his father to instead use him to reach his own goals, is happy and has friends and, again, he’s supported and loved and is in a way happier place than he was in the beginning. “Toshinori may still be alive, but all might (the hero) is gone to the world forever” yes, and in any other manga the reveal would have brought a whole damn lot of drama and people calling him a fraud and turning against him, but instead that scene is the most heartwarming one in the whole manga, the whole world supporting and loving him and yelling his name to cheer him on

I could go on, but I think I made it pretty clear? Every single arc, be it a character arc or a story arc, starts tragic to end up with the most positive outcome you can have for it. There isn’t one arc that has had a tragic conclusion yet. So is it really that weird for me to think it’s believable and not surprising at all that Eri’s story, for however tragic it might have started as, could also have a happy ending? That this manga never tried to present itself as one in which things can and will turn out for the worse?

I’m not even sure exactly what your incredibly long ask was about, man. What were you trying to prove to me? Which part of the answer I gave were you trying to disprove? You just went on about how sad everyone was at the beginning of the manga as if that proved somehow that Horikoshi isn’t actively working to give everyone the happiest future they could have. 

A recap of my answer is: “I personally don’t mind Eri having a fix-it quirk because it fits well in Nighteye’s plot and falls perfectly in line with how every other arc has turned out for the best up until now”

And you came at me with an eight asks long rant that can be summed up in “you’re wrong because people in the beginning of the story were sad”

Listen. I’m always open to conversations about different opinions and takes on a story. But, again, I’m gonna need you to be polite about it and open to an equal exchange. Simply going at the end “I hope you won’t feel attacked” and “have a nice day” isn’t enough if for the rest of the rant you talked to me as if you were assuming I’m an idiot. And I’m actually gonna need you to properly read my answers before trying to follow up with them, next time. Please. I don’t have the time to rephrase my answers sixty times just because people keep answering without actually reading them.
