A very important thing to me about the batfam magical girl AU is that the rest of the characters are classic dc comics characters. Which means that while they have many similarities (magical girls are like lantern corps with more glitter and less police anyway, and the magical batfam story can get really dark and tragic at times), they're constantly faced with the clash between comics logic and magical girl anime logic. By which I mean:
______
Bruce, waking up the morning after adopting Dick on impulse and then sleeping the sleep of the dead: Wait, since when do I have a son? Eh, it doesn't matter.
Clark, who was listening into Gotham for whatever reason: The fuck it doesn't?
_____
Lex Luthor: How did you know about my evil evil plan?
Tim: A little bird told me.
Kon: Really, robs?
*cue glittery red robin with a crescent moon on its head landing on Tim's shoulder and speaking in an annoyingly high-pitched voice*
_____
Jason: With the power of love and this gun I found-
Kyle: Can you be serious for one fucking second?
Jason: No actually I am. I was gonna shoot the guy and accidentally left my heart open to channel the energy of the Galaxy and in doing so I saw the man for all that he could be and the magic of the Robin and the Wolf combined to make the gun magic and when the bullet hit him it changed the man on a fundamental level and he realised he wanted to follow his lost dream of selling portraits by the beach instead of trafficking people.
Kyle: what-
Jason: he died a few minutes later though. I did still shoot him in the heart.
_____
After Justice League shenanigans lead to a multiverse portal opening:
Failsafe!Batman: -so I pulled out the shark repellent to fight he jokerized space sharks, and then I fell from the moon-
Magical!Batman: That doesn't make any sense! Shark repellent spray is an absurd thing to have in your utility belt and besides, you don't just fall off from the moon!
Green Arrow : Finally somebody said it.
Magical!Batman: You have to take the magic portal on the other side of the moon!
Green Arrow: ...Spoke too soon.

I’ve watched the entire series again today in a hungover state and I CAN’T DEAL with all the parallels.
I mean, when Lucy finds out about her Dad’s true actions and origins - her whole world falls apart. She saw the vaults as safety - she looked up to her Dad more than anyone else in the world. She learns that he’s lied about who he is as a man and as her father, but also she must realise that the vault’s are hiding their own dirty secrets (especially after her experience at vault 4) and that her Dad is a part of that too. She even says to Max, after leaving vault 4, that if she destroyed a whole community to save him, he would be heartbroken: when that’s exactly what he did on an even grander and more terrible scale. Lucy’s life wasn’t even in direct danger to warrant that reaction - he’s just an insecure selfish arsehole.
At the very same time we see the flashback scene of Coop hearing Barb suggest that they drop the bombs on America. This woman that he loves and trusts and has made a family with - who he said he fell in love with because she always tries to do the right thing. Their reactions at the point of realisation - shock, inability to speak, almost dissociation - are both extremely similar. Him having gone through that betrayal before (and likely plenty of times since) is EXACTLY why he talks to Lucy how he does. He’s preparing her for the eventual heartbreak - because he has experience which states that nothing could ever be as perfect as she claims her life is. When he’s making ass jerky from Roger, he even tells her: there’s what people say they do and then there’s what they really do.
When you look at all of that, really, in the scheme of things, Coop - the man that she’s seen as this inhuman, cruel, murderous monster - he’s the good guy. He too thought his wife’s business with vault tec was abhorrent. Yes, he’s been warped and twisted by the wasteland and by his own trauma - but he does see this brightness in Lucy. He thought she was just naive and full of bullshit (especially being a vault dweller. Something which I’m sure triggered him considering his past with vault tec and the links to his wife) but when she proved herself by giving him the vials instead of letting him die, he’s probably amazed that there’s someone left in the world who isn’t just a liar and a terrible person. He’s so used to betrayal and violence by this point. She’s a good person - a trait that he literally said he was in love with his wife because of. She softens him.
But she also proves herself in another way - by shooting her feralled mother - showing that she’s also grown and learnt that not everything is black and white. It’s not just “good and bad” in this world. And although Coop has questionable morals, he’s honest, like her. He tells it how it is. Plus, after her Dad’s huge life changing betrayal and her time in the wasteland, she understands a little more why Coop has done all the things that she’s seen him do - I mean he did meet her pretty much day one out of the vault initially - hence why she goes with him. He has hardened her up to protect her in the wasteland.
Wilzig even says “will you still want the same things when you’re a different animal altogether.”
My god. It’s just genius. Absolutely genius.
“You comin’?”
Edit: Can we also talk about how Coop is basically the inspiration for the vault boy - who Lucy basically looks to (physically a few times throughout the series) for inspiration to do the right thing. AND the fact that her Dad was obviously a bit obsessed with Coop and probably still was when Lucy was born, seeing as he’d been in a pod and had only just woken up, retaining recent memories. So Lucy likely watched all of his films and her Dad maybe even saw him as a bit of a role model (or at least his in-film characters). AND the obvious exchange of index fingers. Yup. Honestly if this relationship doesn’t become cannon, I will start dropping bombs too.
ANOTHER EDIT: Sorry one last thing but, I just want to add: nothing that post-war Coop does is personal. It’s either: to get a job done, survival, because he’s been triggered by something (understandable after what’s he been through) or, in Lucy’s case, to teach a (admittedly often harsh) lesson. He doesn’t just mindlessly kill - or particularly enjoy killing - he just has no issue with it, it’s all just means to an end. He even still remembers to pay for his tomatoes in Filly ffs haha… I imagine he’s extremely numb and devoid of all feeling - except for when it comes to his wife and little girl. That’s the only time we see more visceral reactions in either actions or dialogue from him. He’s such an intricate character and Walton did an amazing job of portraying him.

Spooky Scary Skeleton!

Tumblr media
“Oh my, Oh my! What do we have here? An earthling, here, in the land of shadows?” the fleeting sound of a man taunted, gravelly rumbling voice tinged with amusement as it rung deeply in your sensitive eardrums.
The night was one dangerous itself; gnarly shadowy figures dancing all around, as the breeze rustled the last leaves of autumn, creating a graveyards all across the forest grounds for them to rot on. Cries echoed—the laughter of foreign tongues cursing, while the wind was all time furious, his scream the most piercing as it traveled through the knobby branches intertwined into eachother.
“Who—who is there? Show yourself!” you demanded, voice swallowed by the cool of the night, silence quickly falling over you, hanging like a thick could over your head, as you frantically whipped your head around, squeezing the handle of your broken flashlight.
“If you don't—I will have you know that I own a weapon, and I am not afraid to use it!” you threatened whoever was toying with your sanity so deep in the woods, only the silver of the moon guided you through the maze of oddly shaped trees; crowns tilted downwards as if they themselves felt uneasy in the cold of the night.
“He, I would love to see you try, mortal.” the voice continued to your chip sanity away, his tone so rough and hoarse, as if the only air he breathed was smoke and he had forgotten he possessed a throat to growl through.
“I am serious, you sick fucking weirdo!—” you snarled, right before you felt twig snap beneath your shoe and the sudden jolt caused your foot to catch onto one of the many roots breaking through the earth’s crust like spidery legs. Your high-pitched terror rattled through the thicket, twisting yourself to the side, while squeezing your eyes shut as you prayed to not fall face-first into the dirt.
Yet you never felt the embrace of the lumpy ground, because something or rather someone was swifter than any human ought to be—with hands too lithe that they were poking the subtle flesh of your arms.
“Tsk, earthling, now look at you. So helpless, so mortal, so endearing. You're like a little fawn! Are you searching for the thrill of Halloween? Why else would a weak thing like you ever enter my lands.” the stranger rasped, purring the words, while he pressed you to himself—to a you who ripped open your eyes to stare at not a man, but a mask, or at least what you assumed to be one.
“Let go off me, you crazy fucker! I have got a life to live!—” you protested assuming the creature you were looking at, was some creep living out his fantasy of murdering on Halloween night as a cartoon character. However no matter how much you writhed, kicked and scratched his grip didn't falter, it didn't even ease.
The skull head tilted to the side, features twisting and moving around—morphing so smoothly as if this wasn't an animated mask some nerd had designed. You were sure of it, his towering height, the glow in his eyes and the odd skeleton hands, with his fingers curling around you like vines, were all just part of a costume.
Until you tried to kick him between his thighs and realized one thing; there wasn't anything soft down there—in fact there wasn't anything down there except bones to begin with.
You screamed and upon noticing Jack couldn't help but laugh boisterously. “Oh human! How fascinating creatures you are! What were you trying to do? Stick a hand through my hips? Is that a little hobby of yours? Such odd specimen.” he cooed, pinching your cheek before swiftly picking you up by the scruff and throwing you over his shoulder—and only then did you notice the little creatures all around you, hiding in the shadows, encircling you both, fascinated by the sight of you.
You finally realised—that you were no longer in the human world, that this guy wasn't just another costume but a real living, perhaps not breathing, skeleton—and the realisation choked you with fear, ensnaring your heart in a gilded cage of fear.
“Don't worry, I will take good care of you, afterall I am Jack Skellington! I look over the lands here—all these monsters are under my protection. And since you’re a mortal, a grave danger to all of us, you will have to stay here for quite some time, all alone with me.” he spoke overly energetic—until his voice faded out with his last words, something sinister tinging his mischievous tune.
Well he had always found humans just so fascinating, and after catching sight of you, a little fawn with bright eyes, a mundane life and odd customs, on another one of his missions of mischief in the human world, he had made sure that you would find your way into his, and therefore into his arms.

Number Eight - Prologue
Characters: Rinne, HiMERU, Kohaku & Niki Location: Inside helicopter Season: Winter Writer: Akira
TL Note:
Rinne makes an error with the idiom; the original idiom is about filial piety (a virtue of exhibiting love and respect for one's parents, elders, and ancestors) and not brotherhood.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ< One day at the beginning of March. Up in the air. >
Tumblr media
Rinne: Hey, Niki. There’s something I wanna tell ya since it’s gonna be the end.
We might seriously be in danger.
Niki: Huh? What’s wrong? Why’re you saying that all of a sudden?
…You said “the end”, but this is our ride there. Don’t you mean “the beginning”?
Rinne: No, no. What I’m tryin’ to say is that this situation is weird.
Come on, think about it. They blindfolded us and then shoved us into a bus, a plane and then a helicopter.
This doesn’t sound like a simple overseas shoot at all.
Maybe we unknowingly offended our CosPro boss, so we’re getting buried out in the middle of nowhere. 
Geez, if I knew this was gonna happen, I should’ve said goodbye to my cute lil’ brother. You know what they say: You realise it’s too late by the time you wanna be a good older brother[⁎]!
Niki: How can the entertainment industry be so heartless…? They’re way too cruel! Does this mean we’re not needed anymore!?
I wish they prepared a final meal for us at least. I don’t wanna die on an empty stomach~!
Kohaku: You two are overreactin’. We’re just headin’ to our next shoot.
We simply received an offer to appear in a variety show that’s similar to “The Minotaur’s Labyrinth”, since it seems it was unexpectedly popular, and people enjoyed seein’ us do ridiculous things.
I bet they’re schemin’ because they wanna make us do somethin’ similar…
Rinne: Woah~ Looks like we’ve got a little bee who can’t read the room!
The super entertaining Rinne-kun was just trying to put on a good show~ I did all that to trick Niki and now my hard work’s gone down the drain.
Niki: What? All that pessimistic stuff you said earlier was a lie!?
I can’t believe you tricked me! If you’re gonna make fun of people like that, then you’re just gonna die a worthless death, you hear!
HiMERU: Amagi, Shiina, Oukawa. Can you three be quiet for a moment?
I’d like to rest while I can. If this is going to be a repeat of “The Minotaur’s Labyrinth”, then it’s surely going to be another stamina test.
We should preserve our energy as much as we can while we’re on the move. That’s the secret to working successfully.
Kohaku: HiMERU-han, you’re adaptin’ to the situation right away.
HiMERU: But, of course. HiMERU would like to resolve everything in a smart and resourceful manner.
Had I not been kidnapped by Amagi, I would have loved to be away, doing my own solo work.
Rinne: Things don’t work out like that in the real world, ya know ♪ We’re in the same unit – and that means we’ll ride and die together ♪
Niki: You really bring bad luck wherever you go, Rinne-kun.
Anyway, I’m glad we’re not gonna die.
Come to think of it, they checked our passports when we got on the plane here. I’ll be fine as long as I get to eat a bunch of local specialties~♪
Kohaku: All you have on your mind is food, huh, Niki-han.
I’d like to rest once we land, but…
Hmm?
Niki: What’s wrong, Kohaku-chan? Did you spot a delicious-looking animal or something?
Kohaku: No. Look over there.
There’s some sort of big banner on the ground.
Niki: “COME HERE”...? What does that mean?
HiMERU: Hmm. Apparently, the pilot says that it's supposed to be “used as a landing pad”.
Rinne: “Used as a landing pad”...? Sounds like something for parachuting.
So that means the real stuff is coming up, right? Alright, we’ve done a lotta different stuff, but parachuting will be a first!
I accept the challenge, so follow me, you guys ♪
Niki: Ah, wait a minute, Rinne-kun! Don’t start putting the parachuting equipment on!
I’m not mentally ready to jump off just yet!
Rinne: Details come later!
Come on, the instructor’s tellin’ us to hurry up too!
Niki: What? Those people weren’t here to film us, but they’re here to help us with the parachute!?
Rinne: I can flyyyy…☆
Niki: Rinne-kun! He just jumped off without listening to what I had to say!
His arrogance knows no bounds. Should we talk to the pilot and ask them to drop us off somewhere closer?
Kohaku: Ko ko ko. This is my first time parachuting as well ♪
It’ll be a valuable experience. If we can’t say no, then all that’s left is to give it a go and jump ♪
Niki: Not you too, Kohaku-chan!?
Tumblr media
HiMERU: Stop looking so surprised, Shiina. You should put on your parachuting equipment.
It seems we don’t have a choice yet again. I think it would be wise to do what the show wants us to do instead of prolonging the conversation.
Niki: What? You’re gonna jump off too, HiMERU-kun?
I don’t wanna use my calories to do something like parachuting… Oh, geez. I guess I don’t have a choice, huh~
Okay. I just have to do it, don’t I!?
In exchange, they better let me have a taste of the delicious local specialties here!
I can flyyyy…!

What are your favorite headcanons you have? I notice you always have asks about specific characters, but I think a post dedicated to miscellaneous headcanons you especially love would be a nice break!
Like out of the ones I've already done? I'd say these ones are my favourites
Tumblr media
Yuzuha offered to get a bike and drive Hakkai around (not to mention learn to drive) when she realised he was constantly riding with Mitsuya. Hakkai quickly said no though.
Kazutora likes his hair being played with but is too nervous to ask anyone to do it (luckily baji noticed this a while ago and occasionally when they're just hanging out and lying around Baji will play with it).
Izana anonymously donated to orphans in the bad toman timeline
Ran and Rindou both using Koko as their middle man when they're arguing. "Koko, please tell Ran to get his job done" "Koko, please tell Rindou his outfit sucks today" "YOU TWO ARE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER"
Baji gets extremely excited for zoo visits, as a kid he actually used to frequently get lost at zoo trips since he'd run off to look at all the animals faster then his mum/ class. 
Kakucho used to make Izana crayon birthday cards each year as a kid
If Akane had known Koko had manged to save Inupi then she would've been happy that her little brother got out.
Hanma's the type of person who can fall asleep anywhere, chair, bed, floor, laundry pile. He can sleep on any of them.
South kept accidentally mixing up the Haitani brother's names when he first met them. 
The first time Mikey's toman friends heard him say "please" is when he was desperately asking them for some of their food. (After they said no the first time, he sighed then suddenly got serious and just said "please"
Sometimes when it rains, Chifuyu will glance around for anyone without an umbrella. Wondering if he'll get to have a manga moment with them.
While Sanzu was in tenjiku he kept his hands in his pockets a lot. This was to hide the way he'd clench his fists whenever they mentioned taking Mikey down. 
One time, after the Kawata twins learnt about the classic trope of twins switching places for a day they decided to try it. Despite their obvious differences they were so sure it was going to work too (it did not work).
Inui once called Shinichiro big brother by accident, Shinichiro was thrilled.
Shion couldn't read the room when it came to South, he thought they were good friends.
Rindou had a teddy bear as a kid that he was super attached to, so attached that he still has it (it's hidden in his room). Ran still teases him about it.
When Benkei's training people in the gym he can seem a bit loud and aggressive but he's actually very supportive, cheering people on and practising them to help with their motivation (he's just very enthusiastic).
In the good timeline Ran thinks signing a few pieces of paper for a few minutes count as a full days work.
Kazutora despises any kind of violence against women, it actually reminds him of the situation with his mother. So because of this he always steps in to beat the guys up stop the situation. (In the good timeline this actually causes problems between him and Senju since he frequently steps into her fights).
Yuzuha can hold her alcohol very well, Hakkai thinks this is unfair (he's more of a lightweight)
Kazutora secretly talks to the animals at the pet shop, telling them about his day.
Baji went to visit Sanzu in the hospital after the incident, he brought him magazines to try and cheer him up. 
South doesn't understand the concept of a water fight, will start punching 
Kakucho wasn't sure of his birthday so Izana assigned him one
Taiju hates hospitals, they just remind him of his mother and her death.
Hanma has stolen Kisaki's glasses to try on before (and did a Kisaki impression while wearing them)
During the good timeline Sanzu hinted he wanted a pet once. He was thinking like a dog or maybe a cat but Senju got him a hamster. He still ended up loving the little guy
Chifuyu was kicked out of a library once for having such a loud reaction to a twist in a book.
It actually took a long time for Wakasa's friends to figure out what he's scared of. They tried testing him with lots of different things and actually gave up before a house centipede just so happened to crawl by, scaring Wakasa.
Kisaki has yelled at Hanma for eating and leaving crumbs on his bed many times.
Sometimes while sleeping at school, Mikey will talk in his sleep (Draken always glares at the other students and teachers if they dare turn around to look at Mikey)
When Mochi's grocery shopping he normally gets asked by people to reach things on the higher shelves, he always gets them what they need.
Mitsuya has a few burn scars on his hands from where he learnt to cook at a young age and made a few mistakes 
The first few times Rindou decided to drive his bike, Ran forced him to wear a helmet. (Ran said he didn't need one though, only Rindou)
Mucho didn't actually give Sanzu his jacket, he just let him borrow it. But then didn't have the heart to ask for it back when he saw how much Sanzu loved it.

a little late to this game and I can't even give my full notes like the previous two times (I'm at work and can't do the second watch through I do to take note of my thoughts) but I would like to scream regardless, sp here are a few disjointed thoughts and feelings I'm screaming into the void!
as always, spoilers for arcane, the final act, under the cut
-LESBIAN SEX LETS GO WE FUCKINGGGG WOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN 🎉🎉🎉🎉🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈
-but on a serious note for that thought, I'm so fucking happy that we got to have this. these two complex, beautiful, awful amazing women who are unapologetically queer and finally get their shit together to realise, the world isn't gonna wait for us, let's have sex, let's enjoy it. the fumble that vi makes with caits fancy belt, the delicate and healing way that cait holds and undresses vi, the full shot of vi's back tattoo, the fact that they can't keep their hands off each other and can't stop smiling! fuck! this was everything to me if you couldn't tell. also so much appreciation to the fact that this scene is an exact parallel to their first meeting!
-yes Mel get it with your sexy golden magic. I can't wait for the spin off series that will come from thus show cus I think it'll explore the black Rose and noxus war and I can't wait to see more of them!
-cait fighting desperate and dirty while still being so smart you have my heart (also cait with an eyepatch, fuccckkkkkkkkkk
-Maddie's betrayal lol, and the thanks for the warmth, bitch what warmth, cait was so mean to you even when you were sleeping together 😂
-the alternate reality???? oughh, oug oww, I need to lie down and cry for a whole week about that. everyone being alive except vi??? that shit hurted. also, domestic and therapised powder was everything I didn't know I needed and I'm so glad that when ekko figured out the anomaly that that timelines ekko came back to her. timebomb so cannon (also adore ekko for this entire act, every single second of it)
-jayvik mutual destruction is so them actually, and I'm glad they were together in the end. also sorcerer older vik had to be my favourite of his character designs. he looks so soft and at peace
-ambessas death is really not something I though we would see, or at least not in the way that it happened. but it's almost bitter-sweet that her death was nesacary for Mel to graduate to wolf in her eyes
-look, heimerdingers sacrifice was cute and heartfelt, but I really didn't have any attachment to the guy and was just glad that ekko made it home. very cute little song though
-Jinx is fucking dead and I hate it. yes it was in character, she did her one last good thing and just wanted to rest, but damn why did it have to be like that , but on the other hand, it leaves open the spot for powder to take hold of the narrative, because don't think I didn't see those hextech gems girl. she is everything to me and I really hope she's apart of whatever story comes next (I'm praying that powder gets to see vi all grown up, and that her older sister is okay, and that vi gets to see powder, the girl she might have been, and also that vi can see her brothers all grown up) (but that's all just wishful thinking)
-btw!! I always had faith in the writers. I love how this season came out on the full. it's absolutely amazing to me how they have managed to create on of if not the highest quality animated TV show ever. it was admittedly rushed, and I would have loved to see all these plot threads tugged at thoroughly before being tied up, but I still think what we got was a masterpiece
-jayce I did not like you in season one but I loved you in season two, and I held out hope that we would see why you did what you did, and it was so fucking perfect I would like to kick all of the jayce haters, just a little in the shins
-back to Jinx, it was genuinely so heartbreaking to see her catatonic over the loss of Isha and I hope they're together again now
-final form (herald) vik was pretty cool I like how it looked compared to his LoL design
-cait and Mel team up was something I didn't know I needed but damn it was good. the gays and girl kissers were eating well this weekend
-the animation of powder and ekko dancing? think I'll just go cry for another week for that alone, and their kiss!!??!? screaming crying
okay that's all I can think of for now. I may post more, I may not. I will absolutely be reposting like crazy though. agree or disagree with me, I want to hear your thoughts!

Hi! Can I request Blue Lock's Reo, Kunigami and Karasu with a chubby reader who's confident and actively works on themselves? Like they go to the gym, study, take care of their skin and stuff?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blue Lock Boys With a s/o That Activity Works On Themselves
Staring; Reo Mikage, Rensuke Kunigami, Tabito Karasu from blue lock
Pairings; Reo x gn!reader, Kinigami x gn!reader, Karasu x gn!reader
CW; fluff, teasing, chubby reader, working out, cooking, maybe not accurate representations of characters (I haven’t watched the anime), mentions of school and studing ;P
Tumblr media
Reo Mikage
* When Reo first started dating you he didnt care about how you looked, to him you were perfect but he did tease you about your weight a little which quickly got shut down when you got upset
* He apologised profusely for because he loves you
* You forgave him but even since it stuck with you so you decided to start working out but for yourself and not for anyone else
* When Reo found out he thought it was because of him but you reassured him it was for you
* Ever since you started going to the gym you decided to start investing on skin care even though you were on of those lucky girls who didnt get much acne
* You started becoming more organised and started to cook more healthier meals and cleaning more regularly
* Reo was super impressed, he never hated how you were but he couldn’t lie he was loving the new change
* You started getting into soccer as well so you and Reo could have a hobby in common since cooking “wasnt his thing” as he had a chef anyways
* You didnt play competitively even though Reo was always praising you and complementing how well you play but you did join a club which played some games every now and then
* Overall Reo and you have a new hobby in common and be even got into cooking a little after you made him help you make a meal for his team (you teased him after) <3
Rensuke Kunigami
* After hitting you with the ball once during practice, he ran over to you to help pick up your dropped books
* He was confused why you were studying even when there were no exams or tests near
* You told him it was better for you and invited him for a study session which he agreed too
* After that you guys started dating where he learned a lot more about you such as how you were a clean freak and avoided eating fast food
* You wore a little bit of makeup to just touch up yourself and always kept your self clean
* He was even surprised how you ate so calmly even if you were in a rush
* He had to ask you for a few tips on cooking too just because you make the best food he’s had
* You joined him in practice a few times, just the two of you, and it made for great dates
* One day when you were cooking he went into your room and tried your skin care
* When you found him glowing brightly under you lamp you found it as a sign to get him skin care
* Best investment everrr
* Hes looking 10 times better then usual and best part is hes all yours
* Hes embarrassed when you compliment him but he always thanks you and gives you a hug in the end <3
Tabito Karasu
* You guys first spoke to each other when you were both paired up for a project
* He didnt understand how someone could be so into studying
* You ignored his remarks and told him his part of the project before leaving
* He ran up to you later and asked if he could study with you as well as do the project to which you agreed only so you could supervise how he was doing his part of the project
* He came over to your house and observed how neat and clean it was
* No spec of dust in sight
* He also noticed the weights you have at home which he didnt realised you worked out until he really thought about it
* He couldn’t lie, he liked seeing this side of you and after a few more study sessions and a date here and there you guys officially started dating
* He always asked for a bite of your food as it was “more fresh” or “it was better for him” as they were always home made and healthy
* When he came over to your house at night, he always dreaded the part where you would start doing you skin care which would take hours (actually a couple of minutes)
* You convinced him one day to try it and suddenly you had gotten him into skin care which he couldn’t complain as now he was the one always taking long to do it
* He always joined you when studying as he said it was “motivation” but you’d somehow end up on the couch watching a movie in the end <3
Tumblr media
A/n; hello! Thank you so much for the request! Sorry if the characters are written in a way that they dont act as I haven’t watched the anime yet but I hope you like it!

Right time to analyse this shit because god dammit I have been silently making theories about this show the second I saw the premise I’m about to become the most annoying person on the planet on god so LETS GOOOOOOO-
Tumblr media
First things first the animation looks fucking phenomenal (let Kevin Temmer cook, that man can do no wrong). Also Caine the guy ever, he is the silly and I love him wholeheartedly, he’s just a fucked up little guy who’s living his best life fr.
Tumblr media
And also NEW CHARACTER HELLO.
Tumblr media
They do be circling though.

THE SILLIES ARE HERE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉
Tumblr media
Smiling Gangle spotted ten seconds before disaster, no thoughts head empty indeed.
Tumblr media
ALSO I WASN’T EXPECTING STUFF OUTSIDE THE CIRCUS BUT IT’S A WELCOME SURPRISE WHOA
Tumblr media
They have come to steal your credit card information.
Tumblr media
The thoughts I had of Ragatha being the lone brain cell keeping everything together were completely correct I CALLED IT- (it has been said by Gooseworx that she has been there the second longest so she’s probably gotten used to the zaniness by now…maybe)
Tumblr media
A door that leads to a void?
Tumblr media
Maybe it has something to do with this room in the teaser trailer? Possibly.
Tumblr media
Tumblr sexyman spotted.
''If there was a way to leave I'm sure we'd have all left by now''
They're ✨suffering✨
Tumblr media
This caught me off guard when I first saw it lmao (holy FUCK I love Zooble's design, they're everything to me).
Tumblr media
''Welcome to your new home...AND your new body...''
So they're aware that they were human before they entered the circus? That's interesting considering what happens in a few seconds (I'll get to that soon). It's also worth mentioning that Gooseworx has stated that their clothes ARE a part of their bodies.
Case in point...
Tumblr media
At the end of the character introduction compilation Gooseworx posted to their YouTube channel Pomni is heard saying something along the lines of
''How do I...take this...headset off?!''
I saw a few people theorizing about her talking about a VR headset and that was how she entered the circus to begin with (I had the same thoughts until very recently). However, considering how much of the visuals and character designs are based on old media (also a teaser image was set up as the menu screen for a retro game), I'm beginning to think that this isn't the case.
So it's incredibly likely that Pomni is actually talking about her jester headpiece since she can't take it off.
Tumblr media
This scene is probably the first time Pomni sees her new body, pinwheel eyes and all.
Tumblr media
''I'm fine with whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people''
I love him he's so unbothered.
Tumblr media
I'm sad that we didn't get to hear any dialogue from them but I can't wait to see them in the pilot! Kinger is love, Kinger is life.
Tumblr media
''After a while you start to realise that you really can't leave, and constantly chasing an unattainable goal will start driving you a little crazy''
She's a little fucked up actually wow who saw that coming.
It sounds like Ragatha tried to leave a few times and just resigned to her fate after a while, her description DID say that she was the ''sweetest little optimist in the digital circus'', so maybe she's told the others that escaping is impossible and that they should make the best of their situation instead? (Also the framed picture of the right looks like some kind of void, a lot of void imagery here).
Tumblr media
Also, Gooseworx released this image a short while ago and it has the same background that Ragatha had while she was talking so she's DEFINITELY talking to Pomni here.
Tumblr media
''OH GOD! WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER MY NAME?!''
EXCUSE ME? Okay time for some more speculation. I knew that their names definitely weren't their real ones but I wasn't expecting them to forget them!
Now, since the premise is said to be centred around Pomni and the others getting messed with by AI and their traumas, maybe instead of forgetting what their names were, they actually REPRESSED their memories from when they were human due to the trauma they went through? (Which would include their names)
I don't buy that they've COMPLETELY forgotten who they were (Zooble is aware that the body they're in isn't the one they used to have so I'm guessing everyone else knows that too.)
I'm guessing that their human lives absolutely SUCKED and they've now repressed their trauma to the point where they can barely remember who they were in the human world, this is just speculation.
Tumblr media
''Thank goodness this is all a dream, right Pomni?''
What a sassy little guy (it's so weird hearing Michael Kovach sound so reserved, he's normally feral as hell playing these kinds of characters). The little mannequin symbol on the door is probably there for when new people stumble into the circus.
Tumblr media
She's definitely seen some shit, I wonder what it could be though?
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD THERE'S MORE OF THEM 😭
Tumblr media
Wow this background looks...oddly normal. The only thing I can think of this being is Pomni witnessing a flashback of her human life before she showed up in the circus.
Tumblr media
''You completely lose sight of who you are and why you're even alive and when you reach your breaking point something REALLY terrible can happen''
OH? Okay speculation time again. This is the closest hint we've gotten to what exactly one of the gang's traumas could be. Ragatha may have forced herself to stay positive in really shitty situations during her human life which likely lead to a lot of negative thoughts which eventually lead to her doing...something, I'm not sure what though, maybe it lead to her losing an eye? (Maybe her new body represents that?) I'm not sure. Maybe this is why she's been in the circus for as long as she has, instead of dealing with her feelings and existentialism, she instead continues to try to be someone who's more adjusted than they actually are.
Again, this is all just speculation, maybe it's just an Infinity Train type of thing where they can't leave until they learn to accept what they went through and how to work through it healthily idk.
Tumblr media
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Well, I'll tell you what I think it is.
Tumblr media
I think it's this weird tar like tentacle thing from the teaser trailer, I don't see what else it could be.
Tumblr media
And I'm 90% sure that whatever it is, it's connected to this room, and I think that THIS is gonna be where we'll be seeing what the gangs traumas are (Ragatha looked TERRIFIED when she was grabbed so if this was the case I wouldn't be surprised). I'd also like to speculate that this could possibly be another AI. There's Caine, Bubble, and whatever the hell those little shape creatures are, so it's very likely that other AI does exist, we just haven't seen them yet.
But who knows? I'm probably looking too much into it.
Tumblr media
Woah new background, he is angy.
I would go into another theory I have about how their designs may hint at what trauma they have but I've spent over an hour writing, compiling trailer screenshots, and speculating every individual frame while suffering with chest pains I wanna go to bed
Holy shit that took WAY longer than I thought it would. I cannot WAIT to watch the pilot, this show has become one of my most anticipated projects of the year over the last few months and I can't wait to see what it has in store.
TL;DR: The trailer looks fire 10/10 can't wait for the inevitable Pomni plushes.

Mµ†åñ† Må¥hêm HêåТåñðñ§ (þår† 1?)
Warnings: ⚠️SPOILERS⚠️, swearing
Notes: Dude Mutant Mayhem was so fucking good, so in order to honour the release of it here is some dumb thoughts I've been thinking of ever since I saw it. A second part may potentially be out soon but looking from a more angst perspective
Tumblr media
⛥ Leo is 100% a fanfic reader and most likely writes stories about him and April. I think that it's all started because he found Donnie reading some about his favourite anime characters and got curious and asked him about it, to which Donnie went on for ages about fanfiction in general, to different tropes, clichés etc!
⛥Donnie and Mikey definitely seem like the type of kids who ended up on the wrong side of the internet as very young kids and found the most goriest shit ever
⛥When Raph was a little kid he found a plushie when him and his brothers were exploring the sewer. He deemed it cute but because his brothers were all teasing him over it he left it and then went out on his own to find it and brought it back to the lair. He tried to hide it and then cuddle it when he was feeling sad but one day Splinter found it and brought it up to him in front of the others, making him embarrassed. However, to this day it is still hidden somewhere underneath the covers.
⛥The guys secretly watched some super gory horrors one time after splinter said not to and they all freaked themselves out over it but they tried to hide it from splinter. When Splinter eventually did find out, he did things to specifically scare each turtle in order to teach them a lesson (which he heavily enjoyed doing). They'd always discuss the scenarios the final girl was put through and what they would do in that situation at night and then the whole thing about "freaky" stuff happening to them would be brought up...it took them a very long time to realise that it was just Splinter fucking with them.
⛥They all watched vines and quote them from day to day
⛥Leo loves to collect plant and flowers but when he brings them down to the lair they die within a week and he has definitely cried over at least half of them.
⛥Mikey is definitely the type of person to eat the world's nastiest food combos and enjoy it
⛥Mikey and Raph have constant bets over who can do the dumbest shit
⛥Leo always felt quite isolated from the group at times and it always made him feel self conscious and more different from the others.
⛥I think that Mikey constantly worries about his brothers and Splinter - especially Leo.
⛥Mikey, Donnie and Raph are the type of kid to lick the backs of magic stars and then stick two together in order to eat them
⛥ Leo is terrible with directions
⛥ Donnie and Mikey believe in the 'if you don't repost this video in (however long) you will die/get bad luck
⛥ They are all heavily invested in the yellow car game and Leo is always the one to get punched the most (Mikey and Raph are very competitive)

Steel in Her Veins, Chapter: Thirty-One
Read On: AO3 | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
Characters: Fem!Reader x Roronoa Zoro
Chapter Thirty-One: Rubber
Tumblr media
A myriad of packeted rubbers lay scattered across the table.
Chopper, usually the picture of innocence, squirms uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes fixed on the desk before him as he embarks on what is undoubtedly the most awkward conversation of his young life.
“So… when a male and a female engage in intimate intercourse…” Chopper quickly squeaks, his eyes firmly glued to his desk. “At the height of their stimulation, there’s something that occurs, called ‘ejaculat—’”
“Please. Please make it stop.” Raya’s stricken voice comes out in restrained muffles through the air-locked seal of her hands, whirls of hot steam continuously needling out from the gaps of her fingers.  
“Ch-Chopper, it’s not what you think,” Zoro blurts out, squirming uncomfortably in his undersized chair. “W-we were just... training. Yeah – yeah, we… we were sparring.”
Raya’s mouth gives way to a miserable moan, shooting the samurai a withering glare from between her blackened fingers. “No. You’re stupid. You’re actually stupid. I think it’s finally hit me.”
Zoro’s eyes narrow as he turns his head, his expression forming a menacing snarl. He’s about to unleash a sharp retort when Chopper, sensing the tension mounting between the two, quickly intervenes. The little doctor knows all too well what’s coming next - another pointless squabble that would only serve to further strain their already fraught relationship. 
With a quick dart of his furry little frame, Chopper positions himself squarely between the two, effectively diffusing the situation before it can escalate any further.
“Zoro. Training?” Chopper repeats, his tone sceptical. “C-completely naked?”
Zoro pauses. Slowly, almost comedically, red begins to colour the samurai’s face as he splutters for an explanation, something – anything – to get out of this Gods awful sex-talk with Chopper.
“Uh... well, yeah, you know...” he stammers, his words faltering under both Raya and Chopper’s unwavering scrutiny. “Sword-fighting… Cardio… Practicing… You know…”
“Just stop,” Raya whispers, looking wholly ashen.
Chopper sighs and takes his little red hat off from his head.
“Guys, it’s not like I’m enjoying having to do this,” he began, his voice tinged with exasperation. “But as your doctor, it’s my responsibility to see that you’re both being… safe.”
The room falls into a suffocating silence, each word from Chopper hanging in the air like an impending storm. Zoro and Raya avoid each other’s eyes, the tension between them thickening with every passing moment. 
Chopper clears his throat, his eyes darting between the two. “Are either of you… o-on any sort of contraceptive, by—”
“No!” Raya instantly interjects, growing redder by the second. She fumes in her seat, never thinking she’d be asked these questions by the one crewmate she could only see as an innocent baby boy. 
Chopper’s eyes widen in disbelief as he realises the weight of her answer. 
“B-But you both know how babies happen… right?” he chokes out.
And in an instant, Zoro’s throat tightens as he chokes on his own saliva, his eye bulging comically wide in sheer shock. Meanwhile, Raya buries her face deeper into her palms, as if trying to conceal herself from the embarrassment that engulfs the room. Thick, chugging clouds of smoke rise above her head, practically begging her to hop aboard the humility train.
“Chopper… Last night was really… irresponsible, I know. We drank too much, it was a really weird moment for us… and I know you mean well with these but…” Raya hesitantly nudges the condom packets toward Chopper, her movements betraying her discomfort. “What we did was a one-time thing. A mistake. A disaster. A poor—”
Zoro’s teeth grind together audibly, a deep growl bubbling up from the depths of his throat like a menacing animal. With a swift motion, he jerks his head to the side, fixing the awkward girl with a piercing glare that could rival the intensity of a thousand suns. 
Insulting his prowess in the bedroom? He won’t let that slide. 
“Funny. ’Cause I saw otherwise - when I had your lips wrapped tightly around my finger,” Zoro retorts through clenched teeth, his words dripping with pure bitterness. The following few words rumble out quieter from his lips, his body angling towards the warmth of her body. “Or did we forget that little moment?”
Raya’s eyes widen in horror as Zoro’s words hang heavy in the air, the heat of embarrassment consuming her hair like wildfire. Her mind races to comprehend what Zoro just said, struggling to grasp the reality of their drunken escapade.
“I-I don’t think we remembered last night quite too clearly, then,” Raya chokes out, her voice barely above a whisper as she stares straight ahead, unable to meet anyone’s gaze. “We were very intoxicated. We didn’t do such a thing.”
He crosses his arms, tilting his head at an angle as a smirk plays at the corners of his lips. 
“Didn’t stop you from locking your legs around me so desperately,” he lowly whispers.
Chopper’s choked surprise fills the room, his tongue nearly rolling out of his mouth in disbelief, while Raya’s face flushes with rage at Zoro’s audacity. Her fists clench at her sides, nails digging into her palms as she struggles to contain her fury.
“You’re despicable,” she hisses, her voice dripping with venom.
Zoro’s smirk widens, his eyes glinting with amusement as he revels in their verbal sparring. “Oh, am I? Or are you just too ashamed to admit the truth?”
Chopper watches the exchange with growing concern, his brow furrowing as he searches for a way to diffuse the escalating tension between the two.
“Guys, come on,” he interjects weakly, his voice barely audible over the simmering hostility in the room. “Let’s-“
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Raya screams, sparks of fire engulfing her brows in menacing stabs. “You—you’re so… insufferable!”
Zoro shrugs nonchalantly, edging himself closer to her, his smirk never faltering in the face of her fury. 
“And yet, you can’t seem to stay away.”
“Fuck you,” she spits out.
“Fuck you, too,” Zoro smirks, his tone mocking as he relishes in their verbal exchange. “How'd it go again after that? ‘Fuck m-’”
With a screech of a chair toppling over, Raya storms out of the medic cabin, her exit abrupt and final, leaving Zoro with his unfinished sentence hanging in the air.
But Raya’s fury is far from quenched. Like a hurricane flown from the burning hells, she lunges towards her smithing equipment in one smooth movement before hurtling down the deck, running away from anyone in her line of sight - until, she realises, that there seems to be virtually no other person on the deck.
She stands there aloof, looking around in complete silence.
No one's here. The Sunny, for once, creaks silently across the sea, with no trail of voices echoing against its lumber.
She looks around, scanning for clues and then suddenly, warmth spreads across her chest as the realisation kicks in.
She stares at the anchor that's lodged into the depths of the sea.
They’ve finally reached an island.
While she was in there, bickering with the stupid asshole, they were in the midst of anchoring. Law’s ship floats behind the Sunny, anchored to its tail like a sodden trail of misfortune, but the sand that brushes against its metal is undeniable. 
It’s an island. A temporary escape. From... him.
And just as suddenly, she takes a flying leap out of the ship.
Her feet sink into warm, golden sand, enveloping her ankles in a soft embrace. The sensation is pure bliss, and for a moment, she forgets about everything else. The sun beats down on her skin, its intense heat offering a welcome respite from the cold, sterile walls of the ship. 
And with a war cry, she begins running.
She runs so hard across the landscape that her lungs breathe fire, and her metals screech in desperation. Her legs kick from beneath her like a stallion in the midst of overgrown fields.
Everything’s a blur; the world spins, and her thoughts are all jumbled in a mess of unorganised breaths. For one moment, for one instant, she lets go. 
For one moment, for one instant, she allows herself to forget everything. 
She breathes in the saltiness of the air and lets her feet feel the warmth of the ground as it slowly paves its way into the corners of her pumping heart. 
She lets go until she no longer can, when her legs can’t keep up with her anger, and her heart begs for respite, and all her metals go crashing against the dense ground.
The world is silent except for her loud breaths, and Raya stands there, staring helplessly at the glimmering sword.
She feels a sharp prickle behind her eyes, an unwelcome sensation threatening to spill over into tears. 
What was she thinking?
Her chest heaves intensely.
What was she thinking, allowing herself to succumb to her wants, to desecrate a dynamic with a person that did not need meddling with?
What is she doing, enjoying herself? Grinning, and drinking, and talking, and tinkering away in her beautiful little workshop on the top of a beautiful ship; meanwhile, Suki is hanging onto his life by a thread. 
She clenches her fists, the sand slipping through her fingers as she struggles to contain herself.
And why him? She could’ve chosen anyone… anyone except for him. And for some reason, she let her, what, lust take over?
Instantly, she shakes her head. She does not lust for Zoro. No. She won’t let that happen.
She falls into the warmth of the sand, the sun casting a golden glow over her skin, the waves lapping so warmly from a faraway distance. It’s been an eternity since she last felt the solid earth beneath her feet, an eternity spent adrift on the boundless sea. But this, she realises, is her reality now—a life suspended between sky and sea, all for the sake of him. For Suki.
All for the sake of Suki.
Her gaze drifts to the sword cradled in her lap, Suki’s sword, a silent testament to her unwavering belief in his survival. She’s avoided it until now, afraid of what its touch might awaken within her.
Today, however, she reaches out to it, her fingers tracing the contours of its hilt with a mixture of reverence and trepidation. She understands now that avoiding his belongings only serves to betray her dwindling resolve. And she won’t allow herself to do that. She’ll let anything else to break inside of her except for her faith in that old man’s life. 
So she sets about her task with a determination born of desperation, each stroke of the blade a whispered prayer, a vow to keep it sharp and ready for Suki’s inevitable return. With each pass of the whetstone, she imbues it with her unwavering faith, willing it to serve as a promise to seeing him again.
She ignores the searing pain in her arm, the steady drip of blood from her wounded fingers, focusing solely on the task at hand. Raya ignores the blood that tears through the skin of her fingers as she ruthlessly continues to sharpen and refine the blade.
The world fades away, replaced by the rhythmic scrape of steel against stone, the only sound that matters in her universe of silver.
A sharp jab to her arm breaks her trance, the syringe containing Chopper’s temporary cure dully tumbling to the ground. But she hardly notices, her mind consumed by the singular purpose of her work. She presses on, her wounds growing bigger, her movements fuelled by determination and devotion, until the blade gleams with an otherworldly brilliance. 
A pair of sandy footsteps soon break that trance.
As their eyes meet, countless emotions flicker across Raya’s face - a mixture of surprise, heated resignation, and a hint of vulnerability. Zoro stands before her, a stalwart figure against the backdrop of the sinking sun. His typically steely gaze softens, revealing a trace of concern that simmers beneath the surface.
Raya’s exhale is heavy with weariness as she leans her sword against her thigh, the weight of her exhaustion and frustration palpable in the air. “I’m really not up for a fight right now,” she mutters, her voice carrying the burden of her fatigue. She raises a hand to shoo him away. “Off you go.”
Zoro’s response is swift, a shake of his head accompanied by a determined expression. “That’s not why I’m here.”
With deliberate steps, he closes the distance between them, his eyes narrowing as he notices the subtle tremor in her hands. His chest tightens with a mixture of concern and guilt as he observes the way her fingers clench and unclench, a silent testament to the turmoil raging within her.
And then he sees them – the raw wounds that mar her delicate skin, stark against the soft sand beneath their feet. His breath catches in his throat, a pang of distress coursing through him as he takes in the sight.
Clamping his teeth together, he suppresses the urge to voice his concern, his jaw tightening with resolve as he reaches for the worn bandana wrapped around his own arm. With practised movements, he unravels the cloth, his fingers tracing the frayed edges with reverence and regret.
Each fold of the fabric ruffles as his skin kisses hers. He wraps the bandana around her injured fingers with gentle yet purposeful movements, his touch tentative and uncharacteristically soft.
They sit in a cocoon of silence, the rhythmic melody of the waves crashing against the shore the only sound between them. Zoro’s gaze remains fixed on the ground, his fingers intertwined with hers in a silent symphony of solidarity.
Finally, breaking the stillness, Zoro’s voice cuts through the quiet like a gentle breeze. 
“I went too far,” he confesses, his words barely above a whisper. “I’m sorry.”
Raya’s response is equally soft, tinged with exhaustion and resignation. “S’okay. Me too.”
The silence stretches on, punctuated only by the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore. The salty scent of the sea fills the air, mingling with the fading warmth of the setting sun. Neither Zoro nor Raya feels the need to fill the void with words; simply being next to each other, sharing in the quiet peace of the moment, is enough for now.
Time seems to slow as they sit side by side, watching as the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colours, painted with orange, pink, and gold streaks. The horizon blurs, the boundary between sea and sky merging into an indistinct line.
Then, as the last remnants of daylight fade into dusk, Raya turns to Zoro, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. The weight of her question hangs heavy in the air, the gravity of her words palpable even in the fading light.
“Can I ask you a serious question?” she whispers, her voice barely audible above the gentle rustle of the breeze. Zoro meets her gaze, his expression softening with concern and curiosity. He nods, wordlessly encouraging her to continue.
The tension between them crackles like electricity, a palpable energy charging the air around them. Raya’s heart pounds in her chest, and the anticipation of Zoro’s response causes her breath to catch in her throat. She searches his face for any sign of his feelings, but his expression remains inscrutable, his eyes betraying nothing.
“How did you feel, really? Having to force yourself not to help Suki?” Her voice trembles with emotion, the vulnerability in her question laying bare the depths of her turmoil.
Instinctively, Zoro’s finger rises to brush away a stray tear from her cheek, his touch gentle and comforting. His gaze lingers on her lips for a moment, a fleeting and inexplicable hesitation flickering in his eyes.
He exhales heavily, his breath mingling with the salty air. “Haunted,” he admits, his voice weighted with a sense of heaviness. “I’m haunted by it.”
Raya’s chest tightens at his words, the weight of his confession sinking in like an anchor dragging her down. She feels a surge of emotion welling up inside her, but she suppresses it, unwilling to let herself unravel in front of him.
Silence envelops them once more, thick and palpable, as if it were a living, breathing entity settling between them. Raya’s nod is almost imperceptible, a subtle acknowledgement of the truth that lingers between them, a fragile bridge spanning the chasm of their unspoken words. It’s not an apology, but in that moment, it’s enough.
Zoro grunts softly, the sound breaking through the stillness like a stone cast into a placid pond. His gaze drifts to the sword nestled in Raya’s lap, a relic of a haunted past. 
“Is that your old man’s?”
Raya’s eyes follow his, a bittersweet smile tugging at the corners of her lips. 
“Yeah,” she replies quietly, her voice a whisper carried by the breeze. “Just freshening her up before she reunites with her owner.” 
Zoro nods, his fingers inching closer to the gleaming metal as if drawn by an invisible force. 
“How... how do you get it so sharp?” he asks, his curiosity piqued by the intricacies of blade maintenance. There’s a genuine fascination in his voice, a hunger for knowledge tempered by a deep-seated respect for the craftsmanship before him.
A faint smirk dances across Raya’s lips, her eyes alight with a mischievous glint. “Wow, Roronoa. You wanna learn? From me?” she teases. “Are you sure? I might stab you in the back once I catch you off-guard.” 
Zoro shrugs nonchalantly, though his eyes betray a hint of genuine interest. “You do that, I’ll cut your equipment in half again.”
Raya’s laughter dances on the breeze, a melody of warmth amidst the cooling evening air. “Fair warning, then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” she quips, her eyes alight with playful mischief as they lock with Zoro’s.
With a gentle touch, Raya guides Zoro’s hands, each movement purposeful and sure. She demonstrates the art of blade maintenance with practiced precision, her guidance a testament to her skill and expertise.
Their proximity grows intimate as they work together, a silent understanding passing between them with each shared moment. It’s a dance of mentorship and camaraderie, their movements fluid and harmonious.
From behind, their silhouettes merge into one—a small bear embracing a larger one. Raya’s slender form nestles against Zoro’s broad shoulders, her breath soft against his skin as she leans in to inspect the sword. Zoro’s heart quickens at the closeness, his senses heightened by her presence.
Their hands, a study in contrast, find a natural rhythm as they interlace. Zoro’s rough, calloused palms envelop Raya’s calloused fingers, their touch a symphony of strength and grace. 
“So what you gotta do first, is hold her like this...” 
For a brief instant, time seems to stand still as they linger in the quiet intimacy of the moment. The gentle rhythm of their breaths mingles with the soft scrape of metal against stone, creating a symphony of sound that fills the air around them.
“So,” Zoro clears his throat, breaking the tranquil silence, “When’s my last sword gonna be fixed?”
The question hangs in the air, and Raya feels the air go out of her lungs. “Soon, I think,” she manages to force out, her voice strained with the weight of unspoken emotions.
Zoro’s brow furrows slightly at her response, a flicker of concern dancing in his eyes. “You know,” he murmurs almost to himself, his gaze distant as if lost in thought, “I wish you fixed that one first.”
Raya’s curiosity is piqued, her gaze narrowing slightly as she meets his eyes. “Why’s that?” she questions, her voice tinged with suspicion.
“Nothing, really. It… belonged to someone I knew,” Zoro replies cryptically, his voice barely above a whisper - as if sharing a secret too precious to speak aloud.
A surge of surprise courses through Raya, her heart skipping a beat at the unexpected revelation. “Who?” she demands, her voice trembling. “W-who? What was their name?”
Zoro pauses, turning to face her fully. His breath lays warmly against her skin, lips barely millimetres apart as he regards her with a questioning frown. 
“Why d’ya wanna know so bad?” 
Raya shakes her head, her eyes locked with his. “Tell me,” she implores, her voice barely above a whisper. “Her name. Tell me her name.”
Zoro’s eyes narrow at her persistence, but he leans closer, curiosity evident in his gaze.
“Kuina,” he answers quietly.
Before Raya can process the significance of his words, a sudden, sharp jolt runs through Zoro’s body, causing her to gasp in shock. Zoro recoils, his hand jerking back as if stung by unseen forces. His eyes widen in shock, accusingly locking with Raya’s.
She looks down, her heart pounding in panic. Blood seeps through Zoro’s palms, a gaping wound tearing through his skin.
Her hands come into view, and for a second, it feels like her body has stopped functioning.
She stares at her blackened palm, slightly tilting it under the light to see it… shining.
Silver adorns her skin like scales, glittering in what could only be called a menacing set of sharp steel.
“Raya! Raya!” Nami cries as she hurtles towards them from the forest, her words tumbling out in a frantic rush. “There’s a lead! I found a lead – I-I…  Raya…?”

I did a redesign for Sir Pentious! (Opinions below)
I really enjoy this silly goober, no natter how good or bad I think the show is, but my god...the og design...I feel really negative about it. Something just feels so frustrating when I look at it!
Tumblr media
So here's some of my thoughts:
Considering his role in the show as more of a comic relief (though he's truly trying to redeem himself and takes it more seriously than, for example, Angel Dust), I wanted to give him a softer shape. Something to indicate that he's not really a threat to anyone, given how easily he's beat by Cherri Bomb (thats her name, right?)and, of course, Alastor.
I also gave him a bit different clothing, so instead of a suit he's wearing a vest. I think it looks better on him, as well as underlines the fact that he's an inventor (along with his visible goggles and a differently shaped hat). Bowtie became a simple tie and I gave him gloves! I don't find the "claws" thing about the designs cringe since animating fingers like that is probably more simple, but the fact that the patters of different characters are same recolored stuff definitely is!
Then, of course, I gave him a snake face with his fangs out. Because despite his goofiness, he's still supposed to be a demon (or, well, a sinner, more specifically).
What I REALLY dislike about the og design is the fact that he has a lot of eyes which are the same color!!!! I feel like it makes the design a little heavy and hard to look at, at least for me. So I left him with normal eyes, as well as giving him (somewhat of) an eye pattern on his hood. I also left the eye on the hat, but it's not really his, rather just a useful hypnotic device in the shape of an eye!
--
What I dislike about the og, is the color scheme and the similarity of the design with other "sexy handsome" characters (though, in this regard he is a little more unique)
I mean sure, he fits with the world in terms of colors. But that doesn't mean the colors arepicked great! I'm a big enjoyer of 1 character = 1 color thing. It makes you realise how different the cast is! However, when 1 color is associated with muktiple characters, it's pretty hard to see their differences and what makes them their own self. Sir Pentious looks like yellow Alastor, when he's supposed to be just himself!
If I haven't watched the show and only knew one character - Alastor (for understandable reasons), I'd think they're somehow related. Friends, enemies, boss - employee, equals as overlords - that kind of stuff. I'd never guess Sir Pentios acts differently. I'd just assume they have same character traits or same motives! I'd never be able to tell actually tell the difference!
That's not how you get people to watch your show! You're not supposed to offer them a cast of similarly looking characters and then say "oh, well, they're actually all very different! You just have to watch it to find out!"
No! You have to visually tell them "They're very different, but they're together for a reason. What reason? Why don't you watch my show? Wink wink"
That is how you do it!
Overall, I hope you guys can give me some thoughts! I'm not a professional, of course. And I'm not telling anyone that they have to abide by what I say. It's simply my opinion and hiw I feel about it. If you like Viv's designs, then that's great! Hope you have a great day!

would you be able to do nsfw 21 mixed with nsfw 8, where denji walks in on m!reader jerking off and realises he wants in on it (kinda like him liking dudes suddenly clicks for him)
Tumblr media
The Onsen Incident
Author: c-o-t-o
Character: Denji x male reader
CW: 18+ only, sexual content/smut, character aged up, explicit language, sexual frustration, masterbation.
Misc: ~3.9k words. Requested by anon (Denji walking in on you masterbating, realizing he likes guys). Okay I got REALLY into this fic! I could have kept going, but needed to stop myself at a certain point lol. If you'd like a continuation just let me know!
About: Aki takes you and Denji on an Onsen trip, and you can't help but keep trying to play with yourself while you're there.
*Do not remove info or credit from posts when reblogging or sharing!*
You had been living with the Hayakawas for a while now, once you joined their team. But since Aki’s place wasn't too big, you shared a room with Denji. You two clicked right away and ended up spending more and more time together just hanging out or doing random things.
So it was only natural that, by now, you couldn't help but develop a crush on Denji. Since the two of you were friends, you got to see him for who he really is; The person he can be one on one with someone. The two of you were nearly inseparable.
Now that it's finally warm out, Aki took you and Denji to an onsen as a treat to relax after all the work you've been doing. Power didn't want to go alone (since the men and women have to be separated), so it was a guys’ weekend trip. Once again, you and Denji roomed together while Aki had a room to himself (he wanted his own room because, of course, he brought work to do with him on vacation).
You were so thrilled to finally get away and hang out with Denji. Excited… and so, so nervous.
It's not like you haven't seen Denji naked before, or vice versa, being two guys who share a room together. But it's not like you ever leisurely sat next to him for a prolonged period of time while naked. The idea of a hot spring with both of them is somewhat nerve wracking, but you try hard to just be casual about it all, like it doesn't bother you.
The first night, all three of you head out to the water. Since it's pretty late by now, there's really nobody else outside. It's nice to have the privacy and not have to share a space with strangers.
It was surprisingly not awkward. You think Aki being there helped take your mind off of things, which it did. The three of you got to relax and soak and talk about random nonsense.
By the time you all came back inside and changed, you were all exhausted. Aki had gone straight to sleep, leaving just you and Denji awake now.
“Heh, look! They gave us yukata to wear! Just like in anime. I didn't think that was true." Denji laughed, pleased with the fact that he got to wear a yukata. You watched him take his shorts and t-shirt off to change into the yukata. He had his underwear on, but for some reason, it still flustered you to watch him undress. He finishes changing and notices you kind of staring at him.
“Hey, you okay? Your face is all red." Denji asks, bending over to look in your face, hands on his hips.
“Oh y-yeah I'm fine! I think it's just a little hot in here." You come up with an excuse quickly.
Denji squints at you for a second, thinks, and then nods his head.
“Yeah… it's… kinda hot in here now that you mention it. Feels like summer is coming soon. Hmm…” Denji walks over to the sliding doors and opens them, revealing a small private space with a mini garden and personal onsen.
"Wooaahh! I didn't know we had our own! Let's go in here tomorrow night!" Denji says excitedly as he points his hand outside. “We can keep the doors open for a little breeze tonight."
You're sitting down on your futon, holding the cotton robe in your hands, thinking this might actually be better to wear to stay cool. It was hot, that wasn't exactly a lie. You get up to change, bashfully turning your back to Denji while you do it. He plops down next to you and before you even know it, starts snoring all sprawled out on his futon.
“Jeez, that was fast." You retort out loud to yourself. With Denji's arms and legs out to the sides, the yukata had pulled open a bit. You see his bare chest, the opening stopping right above his chainsaw pull. You stare at it intently, a warm longing beginning to ache in your chest. The fabric falls to the sides of his legs as well, letting the fabric of his boxer briefs peek out from underneath.
You shake your head to rid yourself of the encroaching thoughts, and turn off the lights. You lay down next to Denji, heart racing.
For a while you lay there with your eyes closed, expecting to just fall asleep. But you can't. You turn to look outside. The moon hangs hazily in the clouds, stars scattered about randomly. The gentle breeze rolls in, bringing with it the gentle twinkling of the windchime hanging right outside the door. It's such a beautiful night… yet for some reason it only makes your heart ache more.
You turn your head to look over at Denji. By now he's moved to a normal sleeping position. He's laying on his side facing you, hands under his pillow, hair slightly fallen down over his eyes. You want nothing more than to just lean over and kiss him.
The thought of that, along with staring at his cute sleeping face, is enough to get you going.
“Nooo… not now… not here…” you whimper under your breath, trying to push yourself down. You glance over at Denji again, seeing that he's fast asleep.
Hand still on your underwear, you subconsciously start rubbing your hardened self. You close your eyes and sigh, hoping that maybe doing this might tire you out enough to just fall asleep like it does sometimes.
A few minutes go by, and you've really gotten into it, when suddenly, Denji shifts in his sleep. You push yourself down and freeze, eyes closed. After a minute, after you make sure Denji is still asleep, you continue.
However, this playing with yourself on and off has gone on for far too long. Every time Denji moves or makes a sound, you get nervous and stop. It's no use. You're never gonna be able to get off with him laying there next to you. Eventually the exhaustion overcomes you and you pass out.
The next morning when you wake up, Denji isn't in his bed. You look around for a moment when you suddenly realize your hand is down your underwear. It’s pretty clear that it's there because your blanket has been pushed down slightly. ‘Oh god, please tell me Denji didn't see that when he got up,’ you think to yourself. Having barely slept last night, you don't feel great. All you're looking forward to already is being able to sleep tonight, hopefully.
Just as you get up and straighten yourself out, Denji comes into the room to get you for breakfast. You sit with him and Aki in the main room to eat.
“Didn't wanna wake you earlier, you looked real comfy.” Denji days while shoveling food in his mouth. Aki yells at him to eat normally, Denji being snarky back. All the while you can only think about the fact that Denji had to have seen you if he said you looked comfortable.
You and Denji spend the day hanging out and playing games that the resort has to offer. At one point though, Denji notices how tired you are and offers to relax in the hot spring before bed. Once the night starts winding down, the two of you get ready for the onsen again. But once you get outside, there are actually a lot of guys out there.
“Umm…” Denji looks down, face beet red." Can we… go back to our room? And use the private pool? There's too many people here." Denji has a fistful of his towel in his hand, squeezing it tightly in embarrassment. You didn't think he would get this embarrassed, but you agree to go back. It was kind of crowded, anyway.
You and Denji sit side by side in the private hot spring outside your room. Aki was called away for a work meeting and said he would be back the next day, so it was just you and Denji alone now. You think back to how much Denji was blushing earlier, and… well, actually you're trying not to think about it. Because there's nothing here to hide you if you start getting hard again.
After a few moments of silence, you speak up to tell Denji it was okay for him to not want to be around all those people before. To try and ease his embarrassment. It seems he has a similar idea, because at the same time, Denji speaks out as well, the two of you overlapping.
“I’m sorry… I saw you this morning!” Denji blurts out.
“You don't have to be embarrassed about coming back here," you say at the same time.
You both exchange a “what?"
Your face starts burning and you can feel your peripherals blackening. ‘He saw me, Denji saw me with my hand down my underwear this morning…” is all you can think, before Denji elbows you playfully.
"Ahh don't worry about it. Do you know how many times I've woken up with my hand down my pants?” Denji smirks and laughs. “Sometimes I don't even know when it got there!”
You're relieved to hear Denji not making a big deal out of it, but you notice his cheeks reddening a bit. Maybe from the hot water.
“But, uhh, I wasn't embarrassed earlier.” Denji rubs the back of his neck, and looks around as if trying to find the right words to say. “There were too many old dudes there. I wanted us to just to be alone and thought maybe it would be empty like it was last night.” Denji smiles, leaning back and putting his clasped hands behind his head.
‘Alone? Just us? But why?’ you wonder to yourself. You glance over at Denji and can't help but see his thin, pale body under the water. Even though it was dark, there were still ambient lights outside so that people could still see and use the onsen at night.
You immediately become hard, trying to casually place your hands over your growing excitement. Looking around in a panic, you see the towels you both left before getting in the water. You stand up abruptly and get out of the water, turning quickly to hide yourself from him. You wrap the towel around your waist, pretending to struggle with tying the front so that you can hold it outwards a bit.
“You leavin?" Denji turns around and grips the sides of the onsen with his chin resting on his knuckles like a puppy. Why does he have to be so fucking cute right now? You can barely contain yourself.
“Yeah, I think the hot water was making me dizzy. I'm gonna…” your voice trails off when the idea hits you. "I'm gonna go lay down and get ready for bed. No rush, you can stay out here for a bit if you want.” You stare Denji in the eyes, hoping that he'll buy your lie. You search his eyes for an answer, but he looks away as if thinking about something.
"Hmm… yeah, okay. I'll uh, stay out here for a little longer. You go rest." Denji says, looking away from you to lean his head back in his hands again, closing his eyes. You hope he wasn't annoyed or upset by you leaving, but you just couldn't risk being there with him anymore, being hard as a rock.
With Aki gone and Denji outside for a little longer, you can finally relieve yourself. You don't think it'll even take long, it felt like a ticking time bomb after getting close all night last night and stopping a million times.
You put your yukata on and shut the lights to make it believable that you've gone to sleep. Before your head can even hit the pillow, you've opened the bottom of your yukata and started touching yourself. You didn't even bother putting underwear on, it would only slow you down. However, being so comfortable now and relaxed from the hot water, you're also fighting off sleep.
Your hand around your bare cock feels so good that you start throbbing. All you can think about how Denji is just outside, naked. You think back to how slim and wet his body was. Thinking of how the steam from the onsen made his face glisten and the ends of his wet hair hang down over his eyes. So fucking hot. You wanted nothing more than to just turn to him, hands on his hard, sleek chest, and ravage him.
Getting so turned on by the idea of Denji being right there makes precum start pooling at your tip. You swipe your thumb over it and moan at the bit of slipperiness it gives you. Your thoughts start straying as you go in and out of sleep, wondering what would happen if you playfully pulled on Denji's chainsaw starter a little bit. Would it tease him? Would it feel good to him? The ideas keep coming as you feel like you could finish soon, as long as you can stay awake.
However, you are blissfully unaware of how much time has already passed from nodding off here and there, because you hear the patio door slide open. In a panic you pull the yukata back over yourself, pull the blanket up over you, and close your eyes. ‘DAMN IT.’ you curse in your mind, not wanting a repeat of last night. You wouldn't be able to hold back after how much you just played with yourself. Only seconds after you get yourself in order does the bedroom door slide open abruptly. You slam your eyelids closed, not even sure if your hard on is visible or not under the heavy blanket. You hear Denji's towel fall, followed by him putting his yukata on and turning off the light. He lays down next to you again, falling asleep on his back.
You'll have to make due, you'll have to keep trying to finish because you can't hold back anymore. There's no chance of getting up to go to another room to finish, because if you accidentally wake Denji he'll see how unbelievably stiff you are.
You're still so incredibly hard that it even surprises you. After a few minutes you start pumping your hand up and down your length again, stopping every time Denji moves.
At this point, you feel so pent up and frustrated that you feel like you're going to explode. Your hands fall to your sides and, without thinking, sigh out loud. Almost whimpering in frustration.
It must have been loud enough though, because Denji starts moving around again. You slam your eyes closed out of habit, waiting for him to fall asleep again. But it's almost too quiet. You keep waiting to hear his sleepy breathing or snoring, but it never comes. Suddenly, you hear shuffling, and then warm air on your ear. It startles you so much that you can't help but gasp out loud.
“Let me help you with that." Denji whispers into your ear, warm breath tumbling down onto your neck. You feel his warm hand navigate under your blanket, down your stomach, finally resting over yours.
Your eyes shoot open and realize Denji is leaning on his arm at your side, face still at your ear.
“I know you've been trying to jerk off all night. Last night, too. It usually doesn't take you this long, what's the matter?" Denji’s nose grazes the outside of your ear, giving you chills. Your heart starts palpitating hearing him say he knows how long it usually takes you. Does he always know when you're jerking off? You two do share a room, but you could have sworn he was always asleep. Your thoughts are interrupted when Denji moans into your ear.
“I'm not dumb, man. I know you were hard in the water outside, I saw it before you wrapped yourself up. Why do you think I wanted to come back to our private onsen instead of staying at the big one?" Denji asks quietly while slowly grabbing your hand, making you move up and down. "I was actually gonna play with you in the water, but then you left. I figured you came back here to do this, but… god I couldn't stop thinking about it. You got so hard I wanted to see what it felt like to touch you. Do you know how hard it always is to pretend to be asleep with you laying next to me playing with yourself all the time? At first it was kinda awkward, but… after hearing your heavy breathing and moans all the time… I don't know. It started getting to me. It started… making me feel good, too.”
Your head starts spinning with pleasure. His touch is soft but firm, pumping you slowly… teasingly… deliberately trying to toy with you. You moan in response and you hear him chuckle in your ear.
“Do you do it like this?" He asks, voice sending chills down your body. All you can do is swallow hard and nod. You can't believe this is happening and you can barely even get any words out.
Denji pulls the blanket back, exposing you now. Between the heat from outside and the heat between the two of you, you both start sweating and panting. It's almost intoxicating. It makes everything more sensual and exhilarating.
Denji is kneeling over your legs now. He takes your hand away and swallows hard like he's bracing himself. He grabs you with both his hands and starts pumping. His face is so blushed it makes him look so fucking hot, between that and his face starting to glisten from sweat. His hands are so strong, but he takes such care to not hurt you. Even feeling his hands on you is enough to make your head fall back with pleasure.
You can feel Denji hardening as well, realizing now that he had been kneeling on your leg. You feel him stiffen and you reach down without thinking to grab him. Denji lets out a loud moan, not expecting it.
“Fuck, why does this feel so good…” Denji's voice trails off as his eyes close in ecstasy. He grabs your hand and pulls it off though, asking you to wait a second.
Denji slides up your legs to your hips, pushing his cock against yours, causing you both to moan. You feel Denji grab both of you with his hands forming one big circle so that he can pump you both at the same time.
“Fuck, it does feel good," Denji says with an air of surprise. “I saw some dudes doing this online and wondered what it felt like. And…” he pauses to catch his breath. "I kept thinking how I wanted to try with you. It feels good enough to play with myself but I always wondered if if felt better with another guy rubbing up against me.”
You can't believe this is even happening. You're trying SO hard to not fall asleep from being utterly exhausted. You also realize you're right at the edge now, but don't want to quite finish yet. You wanted to enjoy Denji touching you longer.
"Denji… wait…" you say between panting. Denji slows to a stop and looks up at you worried.
“What's wrong? Is this not okay?" Denji's face is so red. His eyebrows are narrowed with desperation. You feel him start squirming in place in response to stopping.
“I just… I'm so close. I don't want to finish yet.” You admit. You put your arm over your eyes in embarrassment. But you're glad to have just come out and said it. You feel Denji let go and sit straight up. Before you even know what's happening, you feel his hands under your arms lifting you into a seated position, both of your legs entangled together. Sitting so close, your dicks still pressed up against each other. Denji grabs your face and starts kissing you.
You both need to periodically break away to gasp for air, kissing so intensely. Denji tries hard to not bite down on your lips too hard with his sharp teeth.
“Why," he pants, “why does this feel so good?" Denji asks between kisses, forehead resting on yours.
"Do you like it?” You ask Denji, trying to catch your breath. He nods his head and laughs between his heavy panting. You suddenly feel Denji push you down on your back, grabbing both of you and pumping again. You moan out loud in surprise.
“I'm getting close, too. Let's cum together." Denji closes his eyes hard and pants out loud. You see the tips of his sharp teeth as he breathes.
Denji's cock is so hot and hard against yours. His skilled hands moving up and down faster now. You feel him growing harder, more engorged, pressing against you. You look up at Denji who has his eyes squeezed shut. It turns you on to see him trying so hard to bring you both over the edge.
Denji's body starts twitching as he says he's getting close. Now is your chance. You reach up to Denji's chest, fingertips circling the opening where his chainsaw starter comes out. His eyes flash open to look at you, skin reddening on his cheeks even more. You start rubbing around his chest and feel Denji now so close to cumming that he starts thrusting himself against you and in his hand. Feeling him thrust against you turns you on so much that you feel that coil inside you snap.
Just as you're about to say you're cumming, Denji's free hand comes down hard on your chest as he grunts.
“I'm cumming," Denji cries, thrusting so hard in and out of his hand against you.” Hearing him say that, you feel it start shooting out of you, too. You both moan out loud, panting, twitching.
Since you're lying down, the hot fluid from both of you shot all over your chest.
Once Denji catches his breath, he stares down at the white all over you, swallowing hard.
“Denji… Denji you don't have to ea-” you can't even finish your sentence before Denji leans down and presses his tongue to the soft skin on your stomach. Your back arches as he makes his way from splatter to splatter with his hot tongue lapping up every last bit of both of you. He swallows and wipes his mouth with the back of his fist. You forgot that Denji will eat anything that can be eaten. It only worries you for a second before thinking how incredibly hot it was to watch him do that.
Feeling how much you responded to that, Denji finishes by moving up and licking your hardened nipple for a moment before falling down at your side.
You both lay there, chests rising and falling quickly, panting with lust. Denji chuckles softly and looks at you, face still blush.
“I hope that was okay, I uh… never did that before. But I've watched enough videos to figure it out.” He runs his fingers through his drenched hair.
"it was unbelievable. Really, really good.” You manage to get out between catching your breath.
Slowly, little by little, both of your breaths return to normal. You're about to fall asleep when Denji turns to you, thumb grazing across your bottom lip.
"Can we go in the private onsen tomorrow morning before Aki comes back home?” He says with his face turning a deep red again. You nod sleepily, not being able to help being lulled to sleep with relief. Denji smiles and chuckles, almost deviously. “Good. I wanna try playing with you in the water and see how that feels before we leave."

gege it’s on sight (i am in mourning)
spoilers and small rant / maybe analysis if you squint real hard below
but on genuinely what is he doing with the plot?? i get that he doesn’t likes some of the characters but i can name about five max that are still alive. it’s almost sad how the plot has just… gone? it was one of the three anime that i actually still enjoyed after 2022 and now it just feels boring. all the characters are dying, and if any of them had a vaguely meaningful death, its just ignored, like yuki dying so choso could live (choso did not live)
tbh i could be saying this because he was one of my fav characters but the never ending cycle of fighting sukuna and then dying has gotten to the point where i’m wondering if gege is going through every character he ever made and trying to kill them off until yuji either defeats him (but there’s no one else left anyway so what does it matter) or yuji dies (which makes the entire series a little bit pointless since the message would be ‘characters are weak and become strong, some characters are naturally strong. sadly they all die in the face of this old guy, boo hoo’). this approach would also make sukuna undefeatable, which makes me question how he got sealed int he first place
it also makes me question whether it’s just easier than writing a meaningful ending, not necessarily happy. aot had a happy but bittersweet ending that was actually meaningful and represented how far the characters had come in the story. instead of just getting them sliced in half to traumatise yuji.
i didn’t realise this would become a rant, but i’d also like to add that i actually dropped jjk just after sukuna made megumi his vessel (not for these reasons but because i had other things to do) so i get most of the spoilers from social media. some stuff might be wrong or i might have missed chapters that prove what i said wrong. if this is the case please tell me since this is one of the few animes that i liked enough to buy the manga, and i’d like to be proved wrong about this!! xx

a hat in time au; what if the conductor fought dj grooves instead?
Tumblr media
just a sketch for an animation meme i wanna make. gave grooves more stars on his jacket and also a little, idk what it's called but it's like, a stitch? on the open part of his jacket at the bottom (i don't know how to explain it but i thought it looked cool). his trousers have diamonds on the side.
conductor looks a bit more casual here, he is wearing a blazer tucked into his belt, loose tie, holding his hat in his hand. he's also wearing trousers that have two pockets like the ones in cargo pants. his trousers are tucked into his boots which have some belts on them. maybe he has the dead bird studio logo on the back of his blazer and on the chest pocket?
i hope these designs look cool, i think they look cool !!
extra sketch + my opinions on the intended boss in botb under the cut [long scroll]
extra:
Tumblr media
little beady eyes poking out
ofc it's plausible that both characters could be the actual intended boss, and there's evidence for both, but i wanna explain my idea on things !!
at first i was conflicted because at the start it shows that the conductor has 3 time pieces while dj grooves has 2. this led me to think that the conductor has to be the winner because he has two to give for his levels and then one final one to give for his award ceremony, while dj grooves only has two to give for his levels. but i realised recently that the conductor actually gives away one of his time pieces before you even get to any of their levels, which would mean that both of them have 2 time pieces each for their levels, and my original theory is false !!! so now i am completely convinced that it is MR. GROOVES HIMSELF who is the intended villain (i know that there probably isn't an actual 'intended' boss, this is just headcanoning really and i'm completely fine with others thinking differently to my headcanon).
first off, it's a plot twist i personally love. he's such a kind and chill guy, how could he turn on us like this ?! i LOVE it. i think that all of those continuous losses really can take a toll on him, especially because he DID win once. it must've felt amazing, but it means the failure afterwords would be all that more upsetting. i believe all of this really affected him. i mean, how couldn't it? it seems obvious that it'd negatively impact anyone's mind. i feel like it festered inside of him, as a large mass of hatred and despair; he couldn't take it, what good is it being a filmmaker if you aren't even good at it? when he finally started considering the idea of quitting, the perfect solution fell into his lap - a girl approached him, speaking of mysterious hourglasses with time-shifting abilities, about how they're the optimal fix for problems such as theirs, speaking about the fame he could have - the power he could wield.
and then he had it. the annual bird movie award was right in his flippers. it was his, all his. but he didn't do it alone. he had produced a new star. was it because of her that he won? a familiar feeling of jealousy encapsulated him. she had to go.
but he failed, he failed to dispose of her, and there were so many witnesses to his failure.
his moon penguins, they were like a family to him, and they saw him like this. even the conductor was there, helping the girl. why? why did it turn out this way? all he wanted was to feel proud of himself, he wanted to feel like he deserved the admiration he got from his fellow moon penguins, he wanted to make them proud.
WHY did this turn into a fanfic??? but anyways, i wanted to give an insight into how i believe he felt during the whole thing, and i guess a fanfic was the best way to do that????????? but um, actual reasons that convince me:
- the hitbox is always dj grooves' - it's more interesting to me story-wise, personally - in hat kid's diary, she seems shocked by the betrayal and like someone else pointed out, i feel like she would have seen the conductor betraying her coming, so that wouldn't be shocking, but dj grooves being the boss would be shocking to her. after all, he's been so nice to her from the start!! - dj grooves is one of my favourite characters.... - he isn't majorly featured in any subsequent chapters - could show that he feels too guilty !! - in the concept game he was always going to be the villain - he gets his own storybook (i think it's in the dlcs?), the conductor doesn't. the main bosses all have their own storybooks i think.
probably more but i have to sleep away !!!

i think what ultimately grinds me with assan is that he's a symptom of a greater narrative issue. i'm always wary of games introducing a comic relief 'pet' character, really, or introducing a pet to make a character more endearing, and assan i feel is very much a distraction, a cheap emotional punch, or a character added for the sake of having it. i'll be repeating myself a lot under the 'keep reading' but i'm just trying to organise my thoughts on this.
i can almost hear the writer's room going 'we want to have a cute griffon for this game'. 'cool. what for?' 'well a pet is an easy way to foster emotional attachment, and also, because griffons.' 'cool, but... why would our protagonist even have a griffon? how do we get our character a griffon when they're all but extinct and guarded by this insular faction of cursed warriors?' 'oh. umm. i guess we need a warden then to have a plausible reason for why this cute distraction is there.'
davrin didn't come to the party and brought the griffon along. the griffon is the main attraction and sadly davrin feels like a bit of a plain vessel just so that the party could have a cute mythical pet.
it's like 'assan and his uh... his elf.' And it's a common criticism. you just need to look at entire posts and threads about the choice between davrin and harding and see that it's basically top to bottom 'i saved davrin because i couldn't let assan die.' somehow the damned animal is a bigger draw than the actual black dalish warden man
which you could say is a reach, but bioware historically has been really very uncharitable to its black male companion characters. and now there's another one, and he's being completely overshadowed by an awkwardly designed feather duster. i don't think davrin's origin and his actual design are irrelevant to the issue at hand, not even a little.
when the first thing you think of when you hear the name 'davrin' is 'assan the griffon', you've got a big problem. and now that epler has come out and said it with full heart that they literally hinged all of davrin's 'saveability' on assan, i don't really know what i'm supposed to think here outside
'we couldn't make this guy cool enough to compete with a blandified harding, so here's a cute ass pet to even the scales! the pet's the real star!
Tumblr media
that's what i mean when i say 'a greater narrative issue'. i'm sure someone will tell me i'm interpreting it uncharitably, but i'd like to counter that with 'either epler misspoke badly, or you're just coping.' man said what he said.
and the fans are openly saying it that even they caught themselves thinking 'oh no, not assan!' when davrin fell, and realising that apparently in the moment they had more fear and compassion davrin's pet griff than the man himself. and now frankly it's be fine if it was like the milk-coloured cullen type instead of davrin, but it's not. it's another rare black companion character getting the shaft. again. you can't ignore the optics here.
sacrifice davrin if you must, but at least have the decorum to respect the pet griff's decision to die with him instead of whinging 'nooo why did he have to dive after himmmm!' that? that is your reaction to 'black dude dies first'? 'no, no, not the dooooog?!'
though honestly the davrin v harding dies choice was already loaded, because harding may be lily pale but in-game she's still dwarves' last connection to their original nature, power and birthright. meanwhile the relative nobodies like lucanis and frankly neve too can merrily waltz into the sunset. this is what i mean by cheap exploitative emotional punches. the guy with the cute rare near-extinct pet, or the dwarves' and titans' one last hope. whilst everybody else's pretty much ordinary compared to the sole keeper of a powerful near-extinct species and the even more rare dwarf with connection to titans without having gone full drone zombie. just to make it 'hard' while the relative normies keep on keeping going.
