HEYO!!

THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE SAKADAYS FICS ON TUMBLR AHAHH

By the way, can you make a natsuki seba fic???

PLSS???

TY :)))))))))))))))

𐔌՞꜆.  ̫.꜀՞𐦯

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ❝ 𝐒𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐒 ! ❞

　 the feeling of blazing hate was mutual. well you thought it would be mutual but it seems like it was not or your hate for his apathy is big. an emotion you cannot control at all, it’s enough to follow the urge to kill him !

featuring. seba natsuki !

content. 0.9k wc + 0.2k bonus scene , sedulous (adj.) showing dedication and diligence in doing something , enemies to lovers kinda , fluff , platonic , unhealthy themes as slight sadism / attempted murder etc. , split personality disorder kind of.

author’s note. erm I hate this oneshot kind of, because it’s so bad written and stuff ugh but I still hope you enjoy of course — I had no idea what the title should be so expect it to have nothing to do with the actual topic !!

　"NATSUKI, my love, sweetie, cupcake, pookie, cutie, sweetheart, dear, darling!"

Hearing the many pet names, the mentioned man couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows ever so slightly. The nagging feeling of quiet annoyance vivid in his black eyes.

Out of nowhere, two arms wrapped themselves around his neck and a breath hit his skin — familiar and expected whenever he heard your voice. Your touch was delicate while your actions were energetic.

"Get a taste, get a taste." you ushered him to.

Your lips curled into a sweet smile as you sat down next to him, leaning your back against the table he was working on. "I was experimenting with erm... new things!" you hesitantly showed him the chocolate you made.

"Oh yeah?" he hummed, sounding rather off.

But that was only because the utmost precision needed for the moment to perfect his invention. Well he hopes to perfect his invention and the chances were even high that he'll succeed.

"Taste." you held the praline in front of his mouth. "Say ahh."

He parted his lips without any noise leaving — it's either you continuing to annoy him since he doesn't want to try or he'll listen obediently so you'll finally shut your own mouth. He would rather have the first one.

"Good boy." you joked.

And there it was again, the slight hint of furrow in his face. He did not like the pet name at all, but you continued to use it because well. Because he does not like it. That's why.

"[name], shut up."

"Don't say that." you whined and leaned against your palm.

Watchful eyes followed his every move as he carefully did his own thing, being in his own bubble. You were staring at him, noting every little movement and detail. How his face looks, if he's showing any signs.

But you have to mind one thing — Seba Natsuki doesn't allow himself to show signs of weakness. It's not only weakness. And it's not like he does it intentionally. Yet he always wears that stoic mask.

People may call him the definition of lackadaisical. You hate it. You hate it so much. Only because you'd love to learn more about him, what he likes or dislikes, how he reacts to various things.

Nevertheless, you just can't find out what he actually likes. There is no second where he does not display an expression of blankness, borderline apathy.

You're used to studying people, that surround you, depending on their faces and actions. Natsuki though, makes it simply impossible for you.

Oh, how much you hate him.

The urge to kill him is heavy, thoughts pressuring you to do it. You want to wrap your hands around his neck and squeeze, hold his damn throat until the light fades out.

Finally. Your eyes lit up. You see it. You are able to watch how a drop of sweat roll down his forehead, the dazed look in his eyes.

"[name]." he calls out, making you flinch.

"Y-Yeah?" you stuttered, taken by obvious surprise as you tried to cover your expression.

"Antidote." he paused slightly in his line of work, empty eyes eventually wandering to you.

"Shit..." your smile turned into a coy smirk, leaning in closer. "For that, I want a kiss."

"Kiss?" he raised a brow and heaved out a sigh.

"Like lips against lips." you explained briefly. "If you know what a kiss is."

"Of course I know what that is." he deadpanned and backed away the closed you got.

"Does it hurt?" you huffed out, feigning hurt when he put clear distance between you.

"It does." he answered quickly, nonchalantly.

"Why doesn't it look like that then?" you grimaced a little bit. "I would love to see you in pain, you know?"

"Thanks, I guess."

You watched. A certain glimmer of sadism in your eyes before you rolled your eyes again. He didn't show it, no discomfort or anything similar. Just a stoic face once again.

"Ugh I hate this." the sweat rolled down his skin, "sweaty ahh."

"[name]." he warned.

"Lucky bastard. Lucky because you're pretty." you tsked, "I'm still waiting though. You get the antidote when you kiss me. Like press your lips against mine."

"No. I can't kiss you." a hint of genuine guilt behind his eyes, "there is a girl I like. She'd be the first."

Your lips formed a straight line, cheeks heating up in sheer embarrassment. Kiss someone he likes? Must be good. You also wanna kiss someone you like, feel the passion, feel them. You wanna smash your lips against his so badly.

The intimacy and affection. It makes you feel so weak. God.

"Okay, you got me..." you trailed off and got out a little container with the antidote. "Thanks for being my lab-rat I guess. I wanted to try out a new poison that kills someone slowly and silently."

"No problem." he brushed off the attempted murder and swallowed a pill.

"Don't expect me to go though. I will stay here." you stood up and went back to the couch admits the trash, arm over the headboard.

"Whatever you want."

He said whatever you want? But you want him.

　bonus scene !!

It failed. Once again. And he already expected to perfect it. "Ugh..." he groaned quietly and stretched his arms, listening to a few cracks of which he isn't sure if it's so healthy or not.

"Trash." he murmured and threw the failed project to the side, to the several other failed things.

No matter how much effort and time, he always overlooks a few things. But despite the right precision and patience — something always goes awfully wrong. Although, it doesn't make him give up.

He will continue. Even if he already archived perfection in his every weapon, project.

Continue to thrive with greed to succeed with even more perfection. What comes after perfection?

"Ah." his eyes land on your figure. You, who was sleeping soundly with worrying.

What are you doing here? He blinked several times, rubbing his neck awkwardly. And without thinking twice, he took off his JCC jacket — about to throw it over your body.

"Oh." he realised briefly after, hands stopping himself so he can gently drape it over you.

For a while, he is just staring. Gaze shifting everywhere to take in the sight in front of him. And suddenly — he leans down, placing a kiss on your forehead and his arms caging you to support himself.

To be honest — he was close. Close to meet your own lips. But he has to hold himself back.

Not now, not yet, not too soon. Then when you hate him less.

"Good night, [name]."

[scarletnakazato]

In the spirit of summer(ugh it’s still freezing over here but still)— what are your hc’s about a beach date?

• All Initial D Male and Female Characters • Word Count: 1,782. • Synopsis: In which you're on a beach date with the lovely boys and girls. • Note: Thank you for the cute ask Anon, apologies it took me forever to get to it!

Keisuke: Will go in the water with you for a bit, but I feel like this guy gives into his primal urges and likes to dig holes in the sand. Will probably dig a massive pit and shape it into a circular sitting lounge, sticking the umbrella in the centre to shade the entire pit and sit with you in it while you sip on cold fruity drinks after being in the hot sun for hours. If you both stay the whole day and sunset comes around, he’ll take you to a beachside restaurant or pub to sit outside and watch the sun set over the ocean while you eat and drink.

Ryosuke: He’d indulge you and go in the water with you a bit, but he seems more of the type to relax under the umbrella and simply enjoy the breeze and the warmth while staying under the shade to not burn, he’s pretty pale. Would also love to enjoy the sunset with you at a beachside restaurant with a walk on the pier together to enjoy the views before leaving for the night.

Takumi: If he’s not zoned out and blushing at the sight of you in a swim suit, he’d follow you around as you collect shiny shells and hold them for you in his hands, finding it adorable how you take the scavenging seriously and fish through the shallow water for them, sometimes get caught with a sneaky wave and get submerged for a second before popping back up, hair soaked and sticking to your face before plopping a shell or two in his hands and continuing on, earning a chuckle from him.

Takeshi: Oh, yes. Sure, it may have been your idea to go to the beach for the ocean, but those plans changed the minute he took his black t-shirt off, casually setting it atop your towel bag. His hair was left messy, seeing as gelling it would be useless if he’s gonna go in the water. His little messy strands on his forehead are doubled now that his hair was left natural. The water was completely forgotten as you sat on the large towel, simply staring and admiring his form. He’d give you one of those raised brows, his lips pressing together in a “really babe?” expression once he caught on to what you were doing. Don’t be surprised when he picks you up to carry you to the water, enjoying how you’re squirming around to get out of his hold, but also enjoying how easily those defined arms are holding you. The clear smirk on his face tells you he knows the effect he has on you before he drops his arms without warning, dropping you straight into the water. Only he’s surprised when you grab onto him at the last minute, taking him with you.

Shingo: Is a little shit. He’ll straight up carry you over his shoulder before Batista bombing you into the water like a WWE fighter. You’d resurface and find him laughing his ass off with that high pitched voice of his before deciding to take him with you and knock his legs out from under him, making him squawk before he goes under. Gives you the same unimpressed look you gave him after he comes back up. If you both go to back to shore to lay on towels, he’ll try to get a tan but with how pale he is, he burns easy so he’ll tan first, looking like how he did in Final Stage, but then the sunburn will come in a few hours later. Refuses to sunbathe again after that, going back to being pale and pasty instead of tan and tasty once again. He’d take you to a pub as well, but as I’ve previously headcanoned for him, he’s a lightweight, so expect to be driving the EG6 back home.

Itsuki: Probably got a beach date by doing that double date stuff with Takumi and Natsuki, or even when the SpeedStars went to the waterpark with Sayuki and Mako. You’d be a friend of one of the girls and basically be Itsuki’s date for the day. Though, he’d spend more time gawking and daydreaming about “hot babes in bikinis” than actually holding a simple conversation with you and spending time in the water or going down waterslides together if its at a waterpark. Typical Itsuki, heh.

Iketani: Holds it together better than Itsuki, will actually go in the water with you, maybe try to play volleyball with the large blowup beach ball. If it’s another double date, he’d be on your team of course, even if it’s against your friends. If it’s not a double date, he’s pretty much down for whatever you want to do. Doesn’t mind sitting back and relaxing at a table, or laying on towels with snacks and drinks while you two talk about cars, hobbies and anything else that interests you. He’s just happy to spend time with you.

Kenji: Similar to Iketani, just loves enjoying the moment. Definitely is the one to drive you to the beach, making a fun road trip out of it. Will like to check out nearby shops for goodies, and get one of those disposable cameras to take pictures of you in your element, and even request some where you pose in front of his car. Bro’s living the high life. Will totally rub it in Iketani and Itsuki’s face, showing him the pictures and going on about how hot you are, much to the dismay of the Lonely Drivers™.

Kenta: Will sunbathe 100%. As seen in Project D when Keisuke and Takumi get to sleep in that lovely hotel, the rest of the Project is “chilling” in the middle of summer under a tree in the shade. Except Kenta. Bro’s tanning full on. He’d be cool if you wanted to go out and do your own thing, play in the water, build sandcastles, dig holes, whatever, as long as he can get a good tan in, he’s a happy guy. I definitely see him falling asleep at some point, most likely on his stomach while he tans his back, and you decide to just bury him in the sand, putting scoop after scoop on top of him until it’s just his neck and head showing. He’ll have an uneven top tan and be mad about it lol. His front looks good, but his back is probably paler since he was covered by then and didn’t know about it. His sleeping mind wouldn’t process it either since the sand made him warm with the sun soaking it up so it’d feel the same to him.

Kyoichi: Doesn’t strike me as a beach enjoyer. I feel like his tough guy act and pride would tell him that enjoying the beach is a wuss boy’s activity. However, he’s more than happy to watch you enjoy yourself and admire your form in that swimsuit. Would definitely take you out to a bar later to fit his tough guy vibe, and give you his large jacket to keep you warm, but more so to keep you covered and prevent weird guys from staring at what’s his for a second too long. Only the Emperor gets to admire his Empress for longer than a second.

Rin:  Takes you on a romantic walk along the shoreline at early sunset. Ankle deep in the water as it rises and lowers periodically, enjoying each other’s company and talking about anything. Will take you to a scenic pier or nearby shrine overlooking the water after the sun goes down and perhaps dinner shortly after.

Go: Water fights you, hands down. Loses very quickly because he’s easily distracted by the water droplets flowing down your boobs and into your top. When you notice him standing still too long and catch on, not even registering your hand waving in his face, he’s completely unprepared to be tackled head on and dunked into the water. You wrestle him in the shallow water with alarming strength telling him that you’ll “cleanse his dirty mind of boobs forever” as you dunk his head in the water several times like a baby getting baptized.

Wataru: Is down to do anything, really. Will take you to the beach early in the morning so you have plenty of time to check out shops, restaurants, ice cream stands and more. Will also get a disposable camera, happy to take pictures of you with his car, building stuff in the sand, going in the water, any and all of it. Will help bring you buckets of water for your sand creations if you need more to help shape it. He’s rewarded with a kiss and “What would I do without my muscley hero, hmm?”

Nobuhiko: Seems pretty chill, would probably prefer to sit back and relax over anything else. Would go for a short walk with you before he’s ready to cool off under the shade again. I see him being temperature sensitive so he gets hot or cold easily. Would pack a bunch of snacks and drinks for you two to have as you lay on the towels, taking in the moment.

Mako: Would enjoy having some fun with beach volleyball. If it’s a double date with Sayuki, she’d team up with her against you and your friend and get as fiercely competitive as she does behind the wheel. Inadvertently kicks Sayuki’s ass and smiles all innocently about it. She also loves sitting back and enjoying some talking with you and learn new things about you and vice versa.

Sayuki: With how energetic she seems to be, I feel like she’d want to go to a waterpark over the beach like she did with the SpeedStars and Mako after the Usui race. Would drag you with her on all the rides and go in the massive wave-pool. If they had any little competition activities, she’d sign up right away and go full send, having every intention of winning. She’d be down for an early evening dinner and drive after to unwind and relax.

Kyoko: She’s the one who drives you both to the beach. Can’t go a day without driving her FD and would ask you to take pictures of her and with her next to the car. Like the time Natsuki asked a nearby guy to take pictures of her and Takumi at the beach, she’d do the same to a passerby while she hugs your arm or side sweetly, smiling bright for the camera before thanking the person and taking off with you to enjoy the water and find a couple fancy shells as keepsakes.

I am honestly so curious about him /pos like man Nyx's only kid who looks a lot like him (I know Asahi has a fair amount of resemblance and she acts like him but shshhhhsh shush). I'm very curious about Nats' relationship with his owner? What does his owner do for a living and does that impact Nats at all?

Also, what does Nats think of Mai?

Love you Apri!! I hope you have a wonderful day and that school goes well for you <3

hellloooo rock ! thankfully i have already written notes for these topics in my drafts, so i don’t have to scramble around to find out what id like . .

( help this got so long im so sorry )

natsuki was bought by a more high profile segyein, mainly since, although i don’t completely remember our discussion about him and yami that one time, i do remember you saying something about how oryon, knew nats would probably be nyx’s last child, and with this had a certain purpose in mind for nats so he’d be worth more .

his guardian is formally known as high guardian diaji, and he’s famously known for always producing excellent areph agents, guards, ( some are even in alnst, and with that id imagine that the other pet of diaji’s, the one that taught him mechanical maintenance, is an older brother figure to natsuki and was also stationed as a guard for alnst ) spies, assassins and other roles in that kind of industry .

natsuki was meant to be areph agent, and after a few years of individual training with diaji, he was sent to anakt just for exposure to others and experience with other fields . it was planned that he wouldn’t be in the competition and would just come back home to be sent off to areph to be trained further until his little . . accident . .

( diaji isn’t directly abusive, he can be cruel and negligent at times, but he’s pretty neutral . he only sees humans as profitable products, and doesn’t get attached to them . natsuki is sometimes sent back to his owner on breaks, since he does technically live with his guardian .

his guardian also, after nats finished his first year of training, gifted him a dog and goat - like wagyein that natsuki simply named puppy . )

about what natsuki thinks of mai . . . . i don’t think i know that much about mai yet, so i can only give a general view, i think ? im sorry 😞

but id say nats thinks of him primarily as one of his few ( and by few i probably mean only 2 ) friends . i think nats also, doesn’t mind fixing mai when he needs it and likes to sometimes show off the others things he creates to mai as well in hopes of impressing him in a way .

love you too rock ! ! i . hope you didn’t mind me dumping so much info here, i genuinely don’t know how to shut my mouth sometimes . . i hope you have a wonderful day as well ! we’re only uh 4 days away from round 7 now hehehehe

Given

Admittedly, I read this manga a long time ago. Like when chapters were still coming out. I was still in high school at the time (holy fuck) and couldn't really articulate my feelings as well as I can now.

I had left this review (bits and pieces of it) on a manga site and decided I might as well put it on my tumblr, finetuning it, of course. First post, because in spite of its flaws, Given is still close to my heart. And I reread it again (somewhat) to make this a better review. I hope each person who reads this will reimburse me with 50 cents each (jk don't). So here it is. My impression of Given, with !!some!! talk about how SA is treated in BL/Yaoi culture in general.

Or not, this is just my two cents with no anthropology degree.

Do take what I say with a grain of salt, a piece of creative media does not exist in a vacuum, but this review treats it as one at times because I'm not really skilled enough to talk about any wider implications. I'm just some guy giving my review.

Spoilers ahead. Go ahead.

TW: Sexual Assault.

Honestly, this manga made me feel a lot. Good and bad feelings. But let's focus on what I liked.

Ugetsu.

He's on the phone, shhh.

I found Ugetsu to be a very compelling character, and it was a huge shame that he vanished partway through the manga. Basically? I have no criticisms about him as a character, he has his flaws and he's nuanced. He's interesting and compelling, and it's clear that he's someone who is still growing and learning to walk on his own two feet. I won't deny that his relationship with Akihiko was very toxic, but I definitely think this isn't something that can be blamed solely on him.

But with this out of the way. Let's talk about the pairings.

Let's talk about Akiharu.

Kizu Natsuki is an amazing artist... Even when I have certain issues with this manga.

Well. I have a lot of qualms with Akiharu.

For starters, Akihiko assaulted Haruki. I'll never forget that. The fact that they ended up getting together anyway was a huge point of contention for me. Given was framed as a story about love more than a traditional story about BL/yaoi which (sorry) usually leans towards the sex. (This is not to say that sex and romance are separated, well they are but they are linked rather than being one in the same. You can have either, like they're hot/cold water but they come from the same faucet.)

But I feel that having this scene in rather than an argument feels completely wrong. I'm someone who will digest pretty much anything the world throws at me, but the Akiharu assault scene came off wrong and it came off scary. (Note: I say scary but I definitely mean much more than that, I just feel like "shouldn't be romanticized" doesn't encapsulate all of it. This topic is not something I'm qualified to talk about, so I don't want to overstep any boundaries.)

And to be honest, that's good because SA shouldn't be romanticised, for that, a big well done to our author. I just wish the aftermath was dealt with better.

This is terrifying. Please retract your words.

In spite of the SA scene being scary, afterwards all seemed to be resolved the moment it was revealed that Akihiko had nowhere else to go.

Everything for them goes uphill from here. Yay.

I just have to wonder what was the point of that buildup if you were just going to allow things to end nicely like that. With a scene like that, you'd think that the manga was saying that "SA is scary, it's terrifying and it's something that you shouldn't forget even if it's BL/Yaoi." But, why did it end up like this.

What I'm trying to say is: What does it matter that Akihiko apologised (twice), he still assaulted Haruki, he assaulted a friend. Even worse is the way that they're framed as a healthy couple afterwards, this just made me all the more uncomfortable. I feel like this is saying "SA is scary" but also saying "the power of love and friendship absolves everything". I've seen some people talk about the fact that SA happened, but haven't seen them say how it was "resolved". I think it's more to do with yaoi/BL fiction culture, that we've grown to accept SA that is unaddressed in our media to the point that Akihiko's apology is like a prayer more than something that's not even worth a second glance.

Saying that Akiharu started off rocky is an understatement, but if I pretend it never happened, I can say for sure that they are much healthier than Akigetsu, and they deserve each other. It's just not good storytelling especially because I don't really understand the motivations of Haruki liking Akihiko.

I once said that Haruki's character arc was based on Akihiko and that was my bad. I was wrong. Haruki, in fact, has a minor character arc, that isn't really to do with Akihiko, about how he feels insecure surrounded by geniuses in the band and this gets resolved by Akihiko saying that they wouldn't be able to function if all of them were geniuses, and Haruki himself seeing Akihiko hard at work. But I had completely forgotten about this arc, my bad, but my point still stands. Haruki deserved a better character arc.

I don't have a smart comment for this unfortunately. Eat your veggies??

In spite of saying this, I'm not an Akiharu hater, I swear. But I just found that ship much less compelling than Akigetsu in general. Akigetsu was a relationship where they were both incredibly toxic towards each other, there was an imbalance in the fact that Ugetsu literally owned the place they were living in, as well as how he'd kick Akihiko out whenever things were rocky. However, I think the end of their relationship was dealt well on both sides, their toxicity towards each other was framed in a negative light as it should have been. They ended the relationship and went their separate ways, this was the best ending for them. For Akiharu and Akigetsu: The difference between these two relationships is that one was dealt well and the other was dealt wrong. Akiharu deserve each other and Ugetsu deserves to learn how to grow by himself.

Anyway, another point of contention was, in spite of the healthy nature of Akiharu. Somehow, the friendship between the two couples seems to have waned and it was pretty disappointing to see. I think it started before this, but the first time it was obvious to me was this scene.

I know you're in the middle of something, but don't be mean to Mafuyu >:(.

Context: This is Chapter 40. Akiharu are in a moment of intimacy and Uenoyama is knocking at their door trying to get advice.

We've seen that Mafuyu is a very reserved person, to see that Akihiko was so ready to tell Mafuyu to stop coming over (even if it is to stop him from coming over so suddely) right to his face was extremely immature.

Basically, imagine if that had been Mafuyu. Personally, I feel like Mafuyu would have been hurt like hell and closed right back up. This scene is something played for laughs and that's something so disappointing. Given is shown to be a band of friends, but in the end it seemed more like two couples who hang out sometimes. Also the fact that both Akihiko and Haruki are pushing Uenoyama to get Mafuyu to rejoin the band. That's something else that bothers me heavily. That they're treating Mafuyu as Uenoyama's responsibility because they're dating. It's a band that is sure to fall apart if you are not making an effort to support each other equally. I mean, it doesn't have to be entirely equal but points for effort and they get no points here. It's funny because they were at least a little self-aware of this prior.

Dating in a band is something that is nuanced, of course. But it sure is funny to see them practically go down the same route they condemned.

That's my criticism of Akiharu.

So, what about the other instance of SA? I'm talking about Shizusumi and Hiiragi, of course.

Let's talk about Shizuragi.

Here they are! Let's talk about them!

Admittedly the first time around, I wasn't particularly into Shizuragi, I was too busy mourning the absense of Ugetsu. But it was during their sex scene where I realised something was very wrong. I was having flashbacks to the Akiharu assault chapter but this time it was played as "love" rather than something reprehensible. Once again, assault was in the manga and it, once again, resolved with badly.

I feel like sexual assault being played off as "love" and being resolved literally the next chapter with the victim being all kosher with it, should be garnering people's "??? what the fuck"s and not to bat for the opposing team for once but where are the complaints. I've actually seen some people talking about this chapter, but I would have expected more.

Hiiragi said he was scared and was crying, but they still fucked anyway. :D <- smile of shock.

Um what. Haha... ha........ :D <- terrifed smile of shock.

I don't know whether it would have been worse that he knew he was assaulting Hiiragi or whether he didn't know at all. But he knew.

Shizusumi confessed his love the morning after and it was all okay. But, to be honest, the fact that it was played off as being "all okay" makes this even worse. It's normal in yaoi/BL for SA to be played off as love, but you'd think that the last place you'd see this is in Given of all places. SA is SA and the fact that Hiiragi was so accepting of what happened to him afterwards says something about this the culture of BL/yaoi and how we just go along with it says something about this sentiment of how "yaoi is always going to be yaoi".

We're done? We're done.

There are no more SA scenes (that I can remember). But I do want to touch on Mafuyu and Uenoyama as briefly as possible (This is a recount of my experience after all). So, Mafuyama.

Ah, yes. The start of everything.

Admittedly, I didn't actually find their relationship super compelling. This is because I tend to get tunnel vision on characters I like (in this case, I heavily tunnel visioned on Ugetsu). I do like them both, they just didn't fit within my vision. I thought they were sweet but I also see a lot of complaints about how Mafuyu was stuck on Yuki and Uenoyama was getting backseated and I do agree with this. Kind of.

I think Mafuyu's story is about growth as a person, it's like what people say: You don't move on or lose your grief, you grow around it. Grief doesn't get smaller, you just get bigger. The person he loved died and I don't think it's fair to say that he has to get over Yuki. Grief is something that sticks with you everywhere, something you have to carry every day. They're still teenagers, they're still young and still have room to grow.

But as a story? Sheesh, instead of Haruki having no place in their circle. I felt like Uenoyama, even when he's the protagonist, wasn't given his spotlight in his own story. There is no character arc for him, there is nothing for him and that's just not fair. There are two people in a relationship, so why does it always feel like, narratively, Uenoyama always comes as an afterthought?

You could have had a character arc about this... Relationships are meant to be balanced, sweetie...

I just think it's a shame, but they're nowhere near as unhealthy as the other couples in Given, so I'm giving them a gold star.

(Minor irk, I do not remember when this happened but why the hell does Yayoi (Uenoyama's sister) get a character arc (where she comes to an understanding about Mafuyama feelings for each other, but also the gay in general) but the man himself doesn't?)

So, with Mafuyama, I feel like the story could have focused a little more on Uenoyama's side. But I feel like it's similar to how Haruki's story kind of got the backseat to Akigetsu drama happenings at the time. Shrug, we can't have it all.

He's beautiful...

That's honestly... all my thoughts. Wow! That was a lot of them. I think there's a lot to be said about how yaoi treats SA and dub-con in general, even in a manga that's not even focused on the sex.

With that said, I don't think BL shouldn't have SA or dubious scenes but the aftermath should be dealt with better afterwards. I think with Given, it's a start that the SA (at least with Akiharu) wasn't romanticised, but the aftermath was just poorly executed.

But I'm not the yaoi police, I hold no authority and I don't support purity culture. I'm not an anti-anything and I also believe that fiction should be fiction. What people enjoy should no way equate to a person's worldview. But, this was just all my perspective and my opinion. I said it and now I'm done. Haha... Anyway, my paypal is—

Alright, I'd thought I'd share with you all my "Persona 3 Holy Grails" of media that I'd like to see show up someday. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll get some of these high quality assets. But for now, we'll have to rely on scans, Internet Archive, upscales, and various social media posts till then. But let's get started!

#1. The high quality, uncompressed cutscenes.

While fan upscales do exist for the OG cutscenes, and people were generous enough to extract many of the Reload cutscenes and post them in high quality (thank you PC version), I would like to see the original masters for many of these cutscenes. We know they do exist, since Atlus has used them in promotional material, but when we will see them, is unknown. (If they ever do an English release of the P3 Movies, they better include these cutscenes as a bonus feature, just saying.)

#2. Highest quality character renders.

In order to promote Persona 3 on various material, Atlus would use various renders of the characters that I'm sure many P3 fans are familiar with.

However, there are some characters that don't currently have such high quality versions of their character renders. So far, high quality scans of Elizabeth's render and a rare Ikutsuki render (used on the original version of the P3 website, the games OST booklet, the manual, several trading cards, magazine articles, print ads and the booklet for "A Certain Day Of Summer") have been preserved for example, but I'd kill for the high quality assets to be found one day.

However, the most notorious case of characters not having high quality render assets are the entirety of Strega. The renders do exist online, it's just that, their quality is much to be desired.

Again, would kill to see high quality assets release someday.

#3. Unreleased character sheets for cutscenes.

If you have the P3 Artbook, they have the model sheets for the Protagonist, Yukari, Junpei, Mitsuru, Akihiko, Fuuka, Aigis, Koromaru, Ken, Shinjiro, Ikutsuki, Takaya, Pharos and Ryoji used in the anime cutscenes.

However, we don't have the model sheets for the characters casual wear (used in the Yakushima trip cutscene and several scenes in The Answer), Kotone (for the P3P opening as well as several in game CG's), Aigis's Answer armor, blue dress, and school uniform, Elizabeth and Theodore, Metis, Igor, Natsuki (used during Fuuka's awakening, albeit VERY brief), and Takeharu (used during 11/4's events). Granted, since those characters were sparingly used in the anime cutscenes, they may have not had their model sheets published, but again, who knows?

It should be noted that some frames and drawings from the anime cutscenes were used in some promotional material (for example, the P3 website used silhouettes of Yukari, Junpei, Akihiko, Mitsuru and Fuuka taken straight from the opening), so we'll have to wait and see what comes forth.

#4. Original Persona Assets

So far, Atlus managed to give us the high quality assets for the initial Persona's that were used in FES and were reused again for Reload's promo's.

Not only that, but many of the high quality assets for the ultimate Persona's were also preserved online, thankfully.

However, there is also the "original shading" versions of the Persona's, which last I checked, were used in the 2023 port of Persona 3 Portable, and so far, the high quailty rips of them are cropped.

I'm also hoping we can get even higher quality versions of the renders of Polydeuces (promotional pose), Juno, Messiah and Psyche. (though I am betting we're gonna get a high quality Psyche render for The Answer DLC, mark my words)

And of course, we still need the high quality official art for Strega's Personas as well.

#5 Ad Scans (or even better, high quailty digital versions of this material)

If anyone has some Japanese magazines, I'd love to see high quality scans of many a Persona 3 Ad.

This is quite literally my third time showing up and you're free to IGNORE because I don't wanna keep bothering you (I'M SO SORRY) I just wanted to be more positive this time and say I really love when you ramble and go into this really emotional and powerful depth when you discuss things so passionately. I know that's kind of weird to say and this will also be weird to admit but I could NEVER understand why people would call it "cringe"? It's actually really healing to me as someone who'd love to ramble a lot but can't get by the idea that people wouldn't like it I guess ^_^; WHAT I'M TRYING TO REALLY SAY. It's that time you put into what you create even if it's not related to the High Voltage AU, Because while yes you even inspired me to keep going with my dhmis story I certainly enjoy your posts all together! I like learning about other fictional medias you enjoy.. I also think about favorite characters you have and mental note them in my mind haha Probably just speaking really foolishly again and it's really not anything I've not told you before though I just have positive things to say about you often! I hope you don't stop venting either because you need to get it out. This is your account! You're free to post what you want and don't pressure yourself to perform to anyone's expectations because what you're doing now IS ENOUGH. I love you !! /p

(Natsuki is my favorite DDLC character :) I LOVE this game and comfort it a lot so it makes me happy seeing someone else enjoy it too! )

no . no . pleaze never apologize for passing by – it meanz so much to me that u remember my existence

ive generally alwayz been scared of talking too much about the thingz i like . becauze my interestz are like unique to me only – none of my irlz share thiz love for dhmis and / or vocaloid . so itz generally something that i don't talk about with them in order not to annoy them

you have no clue how much it actually meanz to have someone u care about tell u that they appreciate your love for such thingz . and that they actually like LURNING about it – more than anything else in thiz world

not to get all sad here . but ive alwayz struggled with the au – ive had [and admittedly still do] so many breakdownz over the fact i feel like my characterz are flat . or that my story iz too unoriginal or deviatez too much from the canon . generally anything i could be mad about . but the support ive gotten from u and the few other people on thiz platform who care alwayz help me feel like thiz work izn't pointless

not to mention . my time on thiz app and interacting with u made me develop my littlez in a way i probably weren't if not for thiz connection between uz [and im not just refering to shrig in thiz situation]

i can never fully express my gratitude to people – i feel like no word in any language could encapsulate just how much i care for each and every one of my friendsiblingz . so like . why even bother . right ? ahaha

thank u – thank u a thouzand timez over and over ; thank u forever more . for everything u've done for me . for everyone else . u utterly beautiful being 💌💌💌

Uta*Pri SHINING-LIVE - Day Dream {Hard Mode}/{No Auto-play} (Game-play) by Me {DO NOT re-post} {DO NOT Copy} {DO NOT remove caption} {M.U.S.I.C.} © Elements-Garden {D i s c l a i m e r} I do not own Uta*Pri and am making no earnings off this.

Commentary:

During the latest event with Syo & Reiji (though I enjoy the latter, I mainly play events for Syo lol, but I am still learning and am very much NOT a Pro) I accidentally de-selected “Auto” for Hard mode (which you can see here too) as one of the Missions was to clear a song with a Unit consisting solely of Quartet*Night members. I don’t often use QN very much overall (except for Reiji tbh, he’s probably my QN fav)… that’s why the Unit name (“Eternal Sighs”) I made as an in-joke @ myself since I don’t tend to name my Units, and its basically me: Eternally Sighing @ Q.N. (also a personal in-joke for many reasons)

Well anyhow, so I accidentally de-selected “Auto” mode. I am @utistic with high @nxiety, so in these types of games I often tend to miss notes purely because I can’t hear them or I’m stressing over missing them lolll. (I love the @nime series but I never got to play the originals!)

And this happened. (Basically I was half-in shock I actually managed to DO THIS lolll.) {Especially because most other previous times I accidentally did this, I’d usually panic, and instantly lose by running out of Stamina/missing all.}

And that’s my “how I managed to get my first Hard cleared song on SL” story. (I’m also years behind catching up with all Card/Event stories for everyone not my top Favs because I started so late… and then this happened?!?) {Maybe it’s not totally hopeless that I can play on higher modes!}

{Note: Please Do Not Interact with this if you dislike/hate St*rish, Syo, Natsuki, Tokiya, Cecil, or Haruka!}

[brownhairedbookworm]

Monika paces behind the stage's curtains. She can't say she's not nervous, but she's not afraid to be out performing! If anything, she's giddy about it. This is the first time she's tried to put her foot out there to perform anything for a crowd, let alone her own work. Of course, she'll be opening with some less original music, just in case, but she's pretty confident.

The brunette straightens out her ponytail. She looks like she's put together well enough, probably. Dressed pretty casually, but she's not here for a big orchestral show or anything. Just a little bit of lounge music. Everyone's going to be a little tipsy and loose. They won't criticize her too harshly, if they do at all. No one's gonna throw drinks at her because she sucks so bad, right...?

Okay, maybe she is lacking in a little bit of confidence. She takes a deep breath and rolls the beads of her bracelet on her arms. "Come on, keep yourself on earth. You'll do fine, Monika... Everyone believes in you, no one's going to heckle you or do anything mean."

How desperately she wishes she could have invited any of the Literature Club girls out for this. Unfortunately, Natsuki's bakery is starting to have a holiday rush, Yuri is using the colder weather to forge her metal sculptures more comfortably, Sayori...

Sayori probably could have come, actually, but she hasn't been responding to texts today. Monika can handcuff her jealous, possessive side for long enough to let Sayori live her own life. Between school exams and seasonal depression, Sayori's probably putting in some longer hours at work. Nothing to worry about.

She hears her name over the intercom and makes her entrance to the sounds of some relaxed, scattered applause. Monika takes her seat at the piano's bench, playing a short scale to get her fingers ready.

"Okay, everyone! Thanks for having me. Before I start sharing anything new, let's start with something familiar. A song about drive, determination, and grasping success in your hands with your own power." She begins introducing the song, with its familiar and haunting piano notes...

Her own power... Yeah, she can handle this~

"If you had one shot. One opportunity. To seize everything you've ever wanted, in one moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip?"

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

And as her little show continues through the notes and chords, she only grows more confident. From the Eminem cover, around a more lounge appropriate version of Ruler of Everything, and right through a performance of Genghis Khan that made her feel perhaps a bit selfish and obscene... It's finally time to start bringing herself out there. Get ready to laugh at her high school work, everyone, oh boy...

"...Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with youuu...~"

...It's funny. She wrote this about that one person who didn't stick with the club. Now... Now she feels this same love for the girls she hurt so badly.

"...write your way into their hearts..."

Her fingers dance expertly to their destinations, adding flourishes and extra energy to places that once held a lovestruck teenage girl's awkward single-notes... Maybe it's time for a new final verse.

All my love, flowing free from my fingers, all around you three... I know love. And it shines for you all, from deep down inside of me. The ink flows down into a dark puddle You've written love into my reality. Listening to the sound of your heartbeats Friendship and love, here in our reality. And in this reality, if I forget how to love you I'll leave you be.

Her smile won't leave her face, as she brings her song to a close. "Thanks for having me, again, everyone. This has been a lot of fun!" Monika stands and takes a bow to a slightly bigger amount of applause, and she heads back behind the curtains.

D.U.N.K Chapter 2 - Episode 1 (FANTASTICS cut)

Watch the full episode on TVer

FANTASTICS will be appearing on the second day for the large-scale music and dance project, D.U.N.K (Dance Universe Never Killed).

SKY-HI: And from LDH, we have FANTASTICS. Thank you for joining, really.

Narrator: FANTASTICS, who had their major debut in 2018, is a group with twin vocals and 6 performers. They held their first ever arena concert this year and was able to amass a total of 80 thousand audience in 6 shows.

SKY-HI: (FANTASTICS) is the group that truly inherited LDH’s golden pattern of distinguishing their “performers” and “vocals.”*

In the first chapter, we had GENERATIONS on stage. As expected of a group that has 10 years of experience under their belt, they really showcased how to make a performance that grabs people.

So in that regard, I’m actually really looking forward to seeing what kind of stage FANTASTICS will bring to the table.

They have SEKAI-kun, right.

Winner in the HIP HOP category at a dance competition in New York

SKY-HI: We’re talking about… THE SEKAI. I’m really excited to have him on stage. We might even battle.

Judging the winner will be hard, though…

But I still think it’ll be better if we add a (dance) battle to the program.

FANTASTICS

Sato Taiki: SKY-HI called you by name and said he wanted to dance battle with you.

SEKAI: If he’ll have me, I’d be honored!

SEKAI: Yusei wants to dance battle too, right? He’s the one who dresses like a dancer the most right now. Why are you acting like a rapper!

Sato Taiki: D.U.N.K is all about the showcase collaboration between groups on stage.

SEKAI: You’re all pretty much the same generation with the other groups members, right?

Sato Taiki: Nacchan, Keito, Yusei and BE:FIRST’s RYOKI have worked together before.

Natsuki, Kimura, Yagi: That’s right. We were together in HiGH&LOW THE WORST X movie.

Kimura Keito: Recently, I’ve been meeting RYOKI at sauna houses. And one time he invited me out to karaoke and JUNON, MANATO and SOTA were there and we just listened to BE:FIRST songs.

SEKAI: Did you return the favour to them?

Kimura Keito: I did sing a bit…

Nakajima Sota: I also went out to eat with BE:FIRST’s SOTA a few times. We also sang karaoke together as the SOTA² duo.

Hori Natsuki: Even before BE:FIRST was formed, I’ve always loved SOTA’s dancing. I always watch his videos and would like them from (FANTASTIC’s) official account.

Others: Wait, how come we didn't know? On our account? LOL

Hori Natsuki: I already want to go on stage right now so I can tell him that.

Sato Taiki: By the way, let’s make a simulation on how to greet SKY-HI when we meet.

COMING SOON! Greeting SKY-HI simulation

TL note:

*The LDH golden pattern is where a group is formed with only performers and focused on dance performances. Vocalists were added to the group afterwards. EXILE was originally formed with this concept and FANTASTICS followed the same rule during the group’s formation.

Appreciation Post to Kotaro and Arisa’s friendship bc why not?

Maybe here’s a thought.. I love how in the translated novel I’ve read by ramirei (spoilers ahead and beyond for this now for Heart no Shucho lol), what Kotaro said was what Arisa exactly hoped someone would feel. She wanted her message to reach Karen, but even if it seemed it didn’t to Arisa’s mind, Kotaro never hesitated to tell her it reached him, and that was such a gentle and heartfelt scene to me!! 

Tbh, I believe Kotaro would still do this for Arisa even without Ken telling him. I mean, it’s such a great AriKen story which I LOVE, but Kotaro always showed no hesitation to help her like how he never hesitated to tell her what she’s hoping for, reaching out to her the moment he saw her crying on the rooftop, and handing her a handkerchief when one of their classmates or herself (I don’t know if it was Karen or those in the earlier chapters) spilled something on her materials and Arisa was panicking.

Those who didn’t read the novel don’t know how Arisa went far to even consider to matchmake Koyuki and Natsuki for Kotaro lol (since she realized Koyuki’s a kind soul and thought Yuu’d be fine with his fangirls XD). I know someone thinks that she’s just indebted to him for doing something only her future bf requested (even if I think many would agree Kotaro is not willing to be bossed by anyone, and he dd it bc he knew it was the right thing to do), but I believe Arisa did everything not just out of debt; she genuinely wanted Kotaro, the only friend she had aside from Karen, and the only one who stood by her on those sad times of her life, be happy. 

Paying debt might be a factor at the beginning, but it was genuine friendship nonetheless. Isn’t being determined and genuine in making a person happy and wishing them them the best all throughout your lives considered friendship? Plus, if it was just out of debt, Arisa won’t be the captain of the KotaHina ship like how I believe Haruki co-captains NatsuYuu with Hina (I mean oh boy, Haruki helped Natsuki organized her initial confession lol. His sibling dynamic with Natsuki in the novels are so underrated too). 

Tbh, Arisa rocks being KotaHina’s captain lol.

(haven’t read Daikirai yet since I’m still on MochiAka novel 2, but I just knew there’d be a scene like this, and I love it lol)

--

To conclude this post, I just want to appreciate Kotaro and Arisa’s friendship. I may have never gotten a Kotaro to my Hina, but I deeply appreciate the Kotaros I have in my life to the Arisa in me. Tbh, before Hiyori, Aizo and Yujiro, Arisa and Kotaro showed that male-female friendships could really work without being romantic.  Y’all read Heart no Shucho already if you still haven’t. It’s actually my 3rd fav novel next to Sekoi and Yakimochi no Kotae bc I never expected this friendship would be so wholesome and beautiful to read. I know Hina showed kindness to Arisa and so does Ken in his indirect ways, obviously, (I love AriKen!!) but I feel like many had slipped into their minds that if Kotaro was not present and ready to give her a hand on those times, she probably would have given up before Sena’s words could reach her. Kotaro’s mere presence in her life made her not give up, and that made her so dedicated to give a hand in his times of needs as well.  Her friendship with Karen led to misunderstandings that wouldn’t be cleared until years later in High School, but she found a friend in Kotaro and that’s worth appreciating. Also, I love how Kotaro showed his chaotic side to Arisa on the latter parts of the novel lol. 

It’s also worth noting how right after Hina cried on Koyuki’s departure in middle school, Arisa and Kotaro spent their time together while hoping for a better future.  (like, I always love the chapters before the epilogues lol. It’s the same for Sekoi and Yakimochi no Kotae HAHHA)

y’all, thank you for reading if you survived till the end. I just love them and wanted to share my ramblings to why lol.

DDLC GIRLS AS YANDERES

very old draft

SAYORI

- very gentle and sweet yandere

- she could never hurt you, if she did she would be filled with guilt.

- she always felt like life was a chore she had no energy in filling, but then she saw you. And her life changed. Was it even possible? You made her heart lighter and her cheeks warm. That's when she knew she loved you deeply. And that you belong together.

- she stalks you, but that's only because she wants to know if you're safe and alright.

- she also cyberstalks you, every hour she goes to your Instagram acc checking if you made a new post or a new story.

- at first, she didn't know how to talk to you and was kinda embarrassed but later she felt much more comfortable and started being clingy.

- hugging you that much it hurts.

- but you don't think anything is wrong with her as she keeps her energetic attitude.

YURI

- very sick yandere

- the day she talked to you her life completely changed. She always feared strangers, she was shy and embarrassed to talk in front of people. But at the festival, when she was reciting her poem. And you as the first person stood up clapping. For the first time she didn't felt embarrassed, but rather happy.

- it starts innocent, with little touches, little chit-chats.

- she is a little awkward but she tries her best to talk to you.

- you naive thing, you think Yuri is a completely normal hs girl, but you don't know how much obsessive she can become.

- she has a diary of you where she keeps track of every conversation you two had. Damn, she even has flashcards to remember your interests??!!

- you like orange juice more than Apple juice? Noted!

- however, she doesn't go beyond killing others or killing you. She rather writes sick poems and stories about you and her being together. Not even death being able to tear yall apart.

- she keeps it all in her box hoping one day it will all come true.

NATSUKI

- The most healthy yandere

- you met at the library when you were in the manga section, you were looking at one of her fav mangas. The time she saw you there was a little spark. It seemed that you both had the same interests as her. 

- It was very easy to get to know you, considering that Natsuki is very straightforward. She just tapped your arm tapping if you're new to anime/manga and she gave you some recommendations.

- Next day she saw you at school in the baking club, her heart skipped a beat, it seems like fate wants you two together right? 

- she would never hurt you nor hurt others, somehow you both became friends very quickly and moved into the relationship too. While other girls are trying slowly to enter your life Natsuki entered your love life just a week after meeting you.

- she can become quite jealous so maybe sometimes she can have her little mood swings, or she will be more gloomy than usual. 

- Every time you gave her a present, no matter if it's something expensive or a meaningless rock you found she will treasure it well.

- How I said, Natsuki is probably the healthiest, apart from giving you silent treatments and being gloomy she won't do anything bad.

MONIKA

- yandere yandere

- well do I have to explain this? Monika is very obsessive and jealous.

- She would kill you just if it mattered nobody would have to touch you again. For her, you're just a fragile doll, something that is too precious to this world. Something that has to be hidden well, and kept take of. And guess who is perfect for that role? You're right! Your dear childhood friend that stayed by your side for ages. 

- it starts innocently after moving out of town when you were 10 you suddenly moved back to attend high school. And there you saw Monika. You both started to hang out. Monika always felt so cold and lonely in this world. No matter what she does nothing brought her comfort. But the day she saw you and you hugged her. The warmth that radiated from your chest. 

- as I stated before it started pretty innocent, when you entered a relationship she would get quite jealous sometimes looking through your phone and messages. Later stalking you when you hang out with your friends. She didn't mind it at first, she also has friends so why you shouldn't have some. But soon greed overcame her heart. 

- Every time you would say you're going to your friend's house, she would hide your keys or mimick an illness. At first, you would believe her and cancel your plans, taking care of her. 

- but then it started to become suspicious and you realized this relationship was highly toxic, and as you tried to explain to Monikayou need to break up. She got very angry.

- that was the last day you saw the light, the last day you touched grass, last time you saw another person besides Monika.

- you don't know for how many years you were locked in this basement, ut you know it was few. But don't worry much, Monika is here to take care of you, after all, she is always by your side! literally
