#But Japan Club dude I don't like boys! Or anyone!

[quill-of-thoth]

Oh yep. I have met that kind of programmer, that kind of engineer, that kind of mathlete.

For example, the time I took cryptography. Junior year of college is a period of my life that generally needs fact checking, because for reasons of being a double major in "things I like but which aren't exactly compatible" I started taking 3 lab classes in the fall, had a breakdown, bon appetit. But I remember the January intensive class very well, because due to schedule shennanigans, I had to pick a new class to sign up for the day before I left for christmas break, saw Cryptography, said "I know what that is!" and clicked yes.

Two weeks of disassociation and playing lego with my smaller cousins later, I turned up in what I was about to be informed was a math class. But like, Math history! If you can survive algebra you'll be fine! Okay, I probably needed a math credit. Turns out I was the only one here to get a nonmajor math credit: in addition to being the only girl in the room, I was the only person whose major wasn't math or computer science. They were a pretty fun crew: one of them taught me how to actually use the formula function in excel, I got another to start reading Sherlock Holmes, this one guy I knew from japan club was also there, and we had several 3D tetris tournaments, because that was a brand new browser game that year.

I was also having a lot of fun with the assignments, because or homework every day was to decrypt something, no rules on how, and the professor was the kind of expansive nerd that translated the opening passage of frankenstein into quenya lettering and also accepted "I deleted the special characters folder in word to force it to revert to plaintext" as an A+ in decryption. Multiple times the professor gave out cyphers that were from well known, public domain novels (for example, the opening passage of Edgar Allen Poe's The Gold Bug was presented in the cipher from that same story.) My encyclopedic memory of extremely old detective stories was finally being validated!

Meanwhile several of my classmates, who thought more along the lines of "I have 24 hours to build a program to decode the playfair cypher" were becoming politely furious that I was spending my afternoons mostly playing The Sims or Minecraft and still getting A's. I, having the approximate mental capacity of an oyster at the time, did not notice until there was a minor discussion about who got to be paired with me for our final project, which was to create our own cipher, exchange it with a partner, and then crack theirs.

Running on detective novel brain, I came up with a doozy and translated part of our syllabus into it. My partner allegedly spent a whole day over the weekend writing an encryption program. ... And when I got the printout, I actually felt pretty bad. He clearly hadn't tested it: he'd done something to try and make each letter be one of multiple strings of numbers, but it didn't randomize properly. I was able to do some quick statistics, and then use copy - paste to make the whole thing into plaintext in about an hour. Meanwhile I'd given him a sheet that read something like this: D@C$D#C#F@BC@B!D#D@F@C$D#F@C!D#B@G@D#F@DF#FG@B1B@ Well, he'd been bragging about being able to make the computer do his statistics for him, he'd be fine. ... He was not fine. He turned up to our final class demanding me and the professor that I tell him what the key was because I'd done my encryption wrong and he could prove it! Me: It's keyboard to keyboard. Him: What Me: It's the note you would play on a piano keyboard if you typed that letter, except I added another character as an indicator for which hand and which row. Except to the keys that are on the left hand home row. Dude: That's impossible, I should have been able to run statistics on the... There was a brief moment of silence as the class of twelve realizes that I've inadvertently used one method of encryption on 75% of the letters and another on the remaining 25%. I have come up with one clonker of a code that is nearly impossible to use practically (It took me like 15 minutes to replicate the line above) and ruined this guy's weekend by throwing two kinds of statistics into the same puzzle. And then we all went to lunch to play competitive 3D tetris on cafeteria wifi.

The whole AI sphere makes me think that colleges need to engineer more opportunities for programming people to get their butts kicked, in their own sphere, by humanities majors.

GUYS I FINALLY GOT DOJIMA TO MOMENTARILY PULL HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS ASS. I ain't pickin' no namby-pamby soft options with you, Dojima, if you need to be bullied into doing the right thing, so be it.

After he reads a whole book to Nanako, he reveals the phone call at dinner was about his wife's murder and its more dead ends. Like. God, it's fucking rough. But at least I feel like Dojima is moving to a more truthful place, where he can admit he is looking into this for his own sake and not really Nanako's.

That said, he is still not remotely the Hierophant and its annoying me tbh. Whateverrrrr not all of the Arcana assignments can be perfect.

Oh hey its student council girl that you only really get to know in Boy Route. Sup. Wow, she was a first year in P3P and now she's a senior, so it REALLY hasn't been that long since P3P. That's wild.

Lmao she reveals that she got her speech written by Mitsuru. Of course she did.

kanji no

also EDOGAWA!!!!!!! EDOGAWA!!!! Out of all the teachers, he was my favorite by far. Weird fucking occultist nurse dude.

RAISES EYEBROWS

I kind of already know the broad strokes of this story, but it's interesting that my starting persona is Izanagi and the game is giving me an unskippable primer on the topic. Izanagi and Izanami were the parental gods of Japan. Izanami died during the creation of fire and wound up in the underworld Yomi. Izanagi went to get her but set his comb alight (a bamboo comb, huh) to get a look at Izanami and saw she was all gross and dead, he fled and put a boulder over the entrance of Yomi. Izanami (imo rightfully pissed) told him she would kill 1000 people a day. Izanagi said he would create 1500 a day.

gee i WONDER if this will be RELEVANT LATER.

The hotel they got booked at is.... moderately sketchy.

i'm making faces rn. See, this kind of shit wouldn't have flown at Gekkoukan.

RAUCOUS APPLAUSE

My heart beats for this dumbass. I think in a previous scene, Yosuke accused Teddie of speaking in commercial lines and YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW. He really does. He goes through life like he's just living in a charmed sideways version of life. lmao what if Teddie's whole thing was that he was the personification of that commercial glintz. Like, he literally can do the sparkle-shine thing on command and can charisma-check anyone into doing what he wants. It's a fun theory and frankly more than I have right now.

If Teddie is just "what happens when the commercial becomes aware of real people and loved them" I will be tickled. I mean, "I did a lot of sit ups so now I have a human body" really is some TV magic logic.

lmao is the "eh we don't give a shit if underaged kids come here" club!

lmao kanji has a bad crush on naoto. aw, buddy. we can wingman you if you want, bruh.

coughs

i wouldn't know shit about that lmao

rise you have no idea how close you came to getting absolutely fucking got that night, trust me. that boss fucking sucks XD

oh my god they are completely toasted

oh yeah this seems totally safe for teenagers to play without adult supervision and, in fact, many miles away from the guardians. yep.

i love just the idea of someone suggesting this to the SEES dorm and how it would be shut down fucking immediately, first by Mitsuru, then Yukari, then Akihiko. Hell, if Shinjiro or Akihiko just walked by right now they would rat out these kids immediately and shoo them home. It truly is a completely different group here lmao.

Shout out to Naoto fucking silently observing all this shit. Hilarious.

I'M GONNA NEED A PART TWO, FUCKING IMAGE LIMIT. BRB.

[princess-of-inarizaki]

hello ! if ur requests are currently open, can i get headcanons / scenario of inarizakis manager having a celeb crush (like finn wolfhard, louis partridge ALSO if u can, can u please make the celeb crush louis patridge ? im kinda desperate for sum louis x reader scenarios lawl) and they let them simp for him cuz it's just a crush right ? right, what they don't know is that manager-chan has made some attempts for him (their celeb crush) to notice them and they have successfully made him notice them bc manager chan is such a charm, so what will be their reactions if they see manager chan holding hands with the celeb crush that they didn't worry ab ? thank u in advance if u do it ! but it's fine if ur requests aren't open,, i just didn't see any posts ab ur requests being closed hehe also sorry if i did this wrong 😭 this is my first time requesting sumthn 😭😭

Louis Patridge x Inarizaki manager

Oh my goshhh hi bb. I'm so glad I was your first :D (yes, initially, requests were closed, unfortunately) but this was literally such a good one, I couldn't resist writing it. (I'm in love with Louis Patridge too, bubs)

Also, just a tip (if you're gonna request on anon, make sure you follow me, or have my profile saved because tumblr doesn't give you a notification when I've answered you 🥺🥺)

🦋; Inarizaki manager (reader) x Louis Patridge (celeb crush) x Inarizaki vbc ,, triggers: none!!

“Guys. DID YOU WATCH ENOLA HOLMES?” your breathless face was red due to fact that you've ran a long way, obviously to tell them this.

Atsumu and Osamu nodded in unison, “Yea, that Millie Bobbi Brown chick acted prett' well”

Suna rolled his eyes. “Hated it. Only watched it for Superman, though.”

Kita shrugged, walked up to you, and shook his head as he smoothed your hair down (the stray curls obviously came undone as you were running). “I don't watch fictious movies, y/n-san. Was it good?”

Eyes sparkling, you nodded. “It was more than good. Besides, that actor, Louis Patridge? The guy who plays Lord Tewkesbury? I think I'm in love with him.” a dream-like look glazed over your eyes as you stared at your phone wallpaper wistfully.

Suddenly, the bell rang, jolting you back to reality. “Oh that's right, I need to go to class now.”, and with that, you left six very stunned boys in the gym.

“I wonder what'll be of her crush on that' actor?” asked Atsumu with a smirk. Don't be fooled though, behind the easygoing exterior, he was the most concerned of the lot (and the most jealous).

“Yer' overthinking it. They live oceans apart, and he plays movies on the big screen.” drawled Osamu.

“Yeah, I'm sure one of us still has more chance with her than him, she's actually met us, after all.” chirped Akagi, with a positive note. He was determined to win you over, and a celeb crush didn't deter him in any way.

Suna nodded, whilst Kita and Aran exchanged looks. “It's important to be supportive of her though. Albeit it being merely a schoolgirl crush, this could mean a lot to her.” said Kita, and his tone invited no further disagreement.

Back at home that evening, thoughts of the handsome brown haired boy could not leave your mind, and you logged onto Instagram, hoping to see if he had posted any updates.

He had, and it was a selfie of himself, with his tousled hair in all its "I-just-got-out-of-bed" glory. Damn, this man was sexy.

Smiling, you typed out a comment. “No offense, but if being adorable was a crime, you'd have fine written all over you ˃ᴗ˂ ”. Yes, it was dorky, and cheesy all in one. But why not? He might not ever read it anyways, as your comment got swept underneath the hundreds of others that came after it.

Sighing, you settled down to study, with thoughts about the comment and Louis pushed out of your mind.

Meanwhile, as Louis scrolled through his comments, a single one caught his eye. She used a pickup line (how adorable) which caused his cheeks to redden. Tentatively, he surveyed her profile, before feeling the familiar sensation of having a crush, wash over him.

She was gorgeous, and although he knew he shouldn't stalk random pretty girls over the internet, he couldn't help himself. Her pictures showed her to be the manager of a club of some sort, and she was almost always posing with a teammate. A male, teammate.

But damn, that smile. Even if he felt a small pit of unfounded jealousy at the guys, her smile was enough to distract him from anything.

His fingers hovered over the "follow back" button, before he finally gave in to temptation by following her, commenting, and putting his phone away quickly, suddenly feeling like a schoolboy all over again.

That morning, before school, you could barely believe the notifications waiting for you on your phone.

"louispatridge_ is following you"

"louispatridge_ commented: nah, if anyone's fine, it's gotta be you ˃ᴗ˂ "

Of course, after having seven mini panic attacks, and fawning over him, you set out to tell your boys at the volleyball club the good news.

And all you could think about on the way there was how Louis Patridge somehow noticed you. It was unbelievable, and somehow turned your insides to jelly.

As soon as you reached the gym, you flung yourself on Atsumu, engulfing him in a hug. “Guys I'm so happy” you managed to choke out.

Atsumu obviously enjoyed holding you, and he gently wrapped his arms around you to feel your heart beating quickly

“To what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you this early, y/n?” joked Aran.

Wordlessly, you dug into your pocket and pulled out your phone. “He thinks I'm fine. Fine means hot right? I mean, I used it meaning hot. Because he is hot. And he thinks the same of me, that's gotta be good? And the emoticon. He used the same one, he's so cu—”

But you were interrupted out of your whisper-babble by the boys' shocked faces. He noticed her? This fast? “I'm so happy for you, y/n” said Akagi cheerfully, but internally he was demotivated and sad at the prospect of you dating the young star.

Suna looked at you thoughtfully and ruffled your hair. “That's my girl. She's just as amazing and capable as those girls on the silver screen.” and although it pained him to say this, he just wanted to share your happiness.

The twins were withdrawn, and Kita congratulated you, whilst obviously feeling a bit regretful for dismissing it as a "schoolgirl crush".

In general, the boys were upset, but not surprised. If you had them all collectively whipped for you, why not a movie star?

After kissing Suna's cheek and waving the rest of the boys off, you skipped all the way to homeroom, excited to share the news with your friends.

Silence followed your absence as Aran shrugged. “So are we gonna acknowledge the elephant in the room?”

Atsumu pouted and glared at them all. “Why did he have to notice her? Was it her profile picture? I've always asked her to change it, she looks way too attractive.”

Osamu nodded and jutted his bottom lip. “I mean, we think she's the most beautiful girl in the world, and apparently other guys do too.”

“Oh God make it stop” whispered Suna. “I wish she'd just stay ours. I don't mind competing with you guys, I'm obviously better, but that actor dude? No chance.”

“We'll be supportive” reaffirmed Kita. “Above all, she's out friend and we do not own her. If this makes her happy, we won't ruin it.”. Akagi and Aran were quiet.

Ever since that day, you and Louis have been slowly but steadily growing closer and falling harder for each other.

He tried his luck by texting you, and although you were shy and tentative at first, getting to know the real him was refreshing.

And you really did like him. He was intelligent, adorable, and realistic. The two of you spent your time from dusk till' dawn talking, whether on call or on text.

And no one could deny the blossoming chemistry between yourself and Louis. He was a gentleman in every way, and his honeyed words stuck in your heart, finding its way to be replayed every time you felt down.

The boys slowly saw you drifting away. And when you weren't, it was always "Louis this—" or “Louis said—” and frankly their hearts couldn't take it anymore. It was time to give up, and love you as a friend instead.

But immersed in his attention you barely even noticed.

One day, Louis called you as you were heading home after practice. “y/n! Love, guess what?”

“aw bubs, just tell me. I hate guessing. Mostly because I suck at it.”

You could hear him chuckle on the other side of the line as he softly whispered “I'm coming to Japan on the ninth!”

“Wait, Louis. Today's the ninth.”

“I know. So are you gonna come to that bubble tea place you won't shut up about, or must I come get you?”

“You're joking”

“I'm not. I've wanted to surprise you, and I swear it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Which includes getting kicked by a horse on set, but nevermind about that, y/n, I want to see you, so get your arse here.”

“Coming, Lord Tewkesbury”

“I might have a kink.”

You blushed bright red at his words. “shut up oh my gosh, I'll be there.”

Louis ended the call with a small smile on his face. He knew how easily flustered you were with him and he loved it. It was just another thing on the list of all the reasons why Louis Patridge adored you to hell and back.

The whole way to the shop, your heart was pounding. So you'd finally get to meet the guy you've been dreaming about ever since you laid eyes on him in a movie.

Ever since those late night phone calls and early morning texts made your heart race and eyes sparkle with wonder.

You were finally meeting him.

The familiar sweet smell of the tea washed over you, and a familiar face waited for you at the entrance. His brown eyes looked gorgeous in the sun and his hair was tousled exactly the way you once saw in a selfie.

Wasting no time, you ran to him, pulling him to a hug. He laughed and caught you in his arms, holding you closer as your legs wrapped around his waist. No words were exchanged, just touches. There were too many words said already.

After pulling away, he gently stroked his thumb through your features. Tucking a strand aside, ruffling your hair. His hands ached to touch you, and now, finally, he could.

“You're such a dork.” was all you could whisper, afraid speaking loudly would break the spell.

“Your dork. All yours.”

“Louis!” your voice went an octave higher as the familiar warm sensation came over your cheeks, painting them a delicate pink.

“Oh God, I've always wanted to see you blush. How can you be so adorable?? Oh God.”

You whined in protest, but frankly, you were too happy to be around him to care much at all.

Tipping your chin to face him, Louis Patridge did the one thing he dreamt of doing, ever since he stalked through your Instagram profile one fateful morning.

He kissed you.

And wouldn't you know it? You kissed him back. It was warm, comforting, and everything you thought it'd be.

Meanwhile, the boys had finished cleaning up the gym, and started heading home.

“Hey guys, do you wanna go grab some bubble tea?” asked Aran. The prospect of food, or sweet things always cheered up the boys, and after a day of particularly grueling practice, it was no surprise they agreed at once.

You however, were comfortably nestled next to Louis as you swapped stories. Your hands never left each other, though. He kept stroking your palm, just to remind himself you were here, right next to him.

“So how's the volleyball club, Mrs. manager?”

“Mrs? Do I look like I'm married?” to which Louis responded with a shrug and wink.

Coincidentally, the Inarizaki boys entered the shop at that very moment, freezing in their tracks after seeing you in a booth with Louis.

“Psst. Guys. Loverboy's here.”

“Should we say hello?”

“I might cry if they kiss” whimpered Akagi.

“We need to say hello, it's the right thing to do.” said Kita sensibly, as he walked up to the two of you. “Hello y/n-san, Louis-san.” said Kita with a slight nod.

Happily, you rose from your seat and hugged the captain, thanking him for saying hi, as you introduced him to Louis.

Soon, the other boys came around and one by one, introduced themselves as well. Honestly speaking, they were jealous. How could they possibly get over someone like you? Someone as spectacular and beautiful as you? But when they saw you face shining with radiance as you smiled at Louis, and the way his hands never left yours, they understood.

And they wanted you to be happy. That was the most important thing, above all else for the both of them.

“I love you, manager-chan.”

[donut-powers]

ok @bellamyblakru​​ here are some of my recs:

ouran highschool host club

kinda reminds me of hamefura because mc is a girl, there are rich people, the setting is a fancy school, bunch of pretty boys, it's funny in a tasteful way(aka no poop/boobie jokes) and the characters backstories are surprisingly serious/sad. 

Sadly the anime didn’t finish the story, in the manga she ends up with someone(not telling). This is an anime from 2006, so doesn’t look good for today's standards 

gekkan shoujo nozaki kun

main girl likes this tall handsome dude that’s too dense, ends up helping him in his project and the side characters are a fun bunch. it mocks a lot of shoujo manga tropes, so you will probably enjoy it more if you have watched a lot of it.

Not so focused on romance. 

Lovely Complex

tall girl x short dude, they are practically a comedy duo until with all the arguing they do, and umm, they become friends after their crushes crush them. romance ensues. You might not like the main dude is D E N S E, that kinda comes off like an asshole.

This is an anime from 2007, so doesn’t look good for today's standards 

Watashi ga motete dousunda

a reverse harem. main girl is a fujoshi(girl that likes yaoi/BL) suddenly loses a bunch of weight and all of a sudden a lot of dudes are into her, they compete for her attention, but she ships them together. I don't remember how the anime ended. but in the manga she ended with best boi

Little Witch Academia

not a romance anime, but the mc and rival have this chemistry. 

mc sucks at magic but wants to be a witch. the story goes about how she and her friends learn what being a witch is about. a lot of comedy, action and slice of life. feels like watching a sunday cartoon

Nana

this an anime for a mature audience. beware, it’s not finished and probably it will never be. and you are probably wondering, “then why did you add it?” - it’s just that good.

two girls with the same name cross paths and end up living together. each one has their own problems(love, money, family, music etc). The portrayal of relationships/people in here is so real, the characters are flawed and make mistakes

i’m honestly not doing justice to this one, but trust me it’s good. This is an anime from 2006, so it doesn’t look good for today's standards.

oh and the music is good

↓↓dude MCs below ↓↓

ore monogatari

this one is wholesome af. what i like about it is that we see how the main couple act in the relationship(dates, gifts, problems, jealousy etc). it’s about a BIG dude that looks intimidating(at least for japan), that defends this girl and how they end up liking each other. this is so fluffy 

Yamada kun to 7 nin no majo

harem with a little bit of those bi-vibes. mc is a “delinquent” and he does end up with someone in the manga

you can understand why people fall for mc, he helps everyone with their problems. the main gimmick here is that mc can swap bodies with anyone, also there's this legend in the school, that they are seven witches with different powers so we gotta find them i guess ? 

quintessential quintuplets

how i met your mother japan edition. 

mc is poor so he has to tutor these sisters. at the start they are not cooperative, he wins their trust and the girls start liking him in a romantic way 

You might not like it because the girls tend to be lend into archetypes(tsundere, kuudere and the like), but as the story progresses it gets better. the plot twist of who he ends up with is out of nowhere but i can’t complain

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

there’s a weird disease call “puberty syndrome” that affects teens in different ways(usually has something plot related), mc helps people with that disease(i just noticed that all of them are girls). all girls are really good, he is with bes girl

this has a movie, and my god did i almost cry

ousama ranking

this is not a romance anime but i love it. 

This feels like reading a children’s book with good world building and if you pay attention, a lot of creepy stuff.

fantasy setting, mc is a deaf (best) boy that is not that strong and can’t talk but he is a prince, the next in line to become king. stuff happens and his brother gets to be king so he wants to train to get back but drama and mystery.

mc cries a bunch and you will want to adopt him. a lot of characters are not what they seem. gorgeous animation. lovable cast

okay im making a list of all the animes ive watched to keep track (AND just in case someone wants to talk about them and/or recommend me something similar 🥺♥️)

fruits basket (2019) - completed (i loved.)

akatsuki no yona (yona of the dawn) - mostly completed

hamefura (my next life as a villainess: all routes lead to doom) - completed (i loved.)

kamisama hajimemashita (kamisama kiss) - completed (loved.)

noragami - completed (loved.) (extremely sad about it not being done🥲)

otome yōkai zakuro (maiden spirit zakuro) - completed (loved.)

[rabbitindisguise]

#Also Japan Club dude had to sit me down later and remind me that while HE found my antics very funny #his colleagues were developing complexes about it #Apparently a certain kind of young man short circuts if the non-major girl effortlessly keeping up with him#is less of a manic pixie dream girl and more of a stout ace chick wearing knockoff lisa frank pattern sweatpants #This sort of young man tends to be concentrated in the engineering and programming spaces#largely because he would have to learn something if he were anywhere else #But Japan Club dude I don't like boys! Or anyone! #Him: that's valid but I'm afraid it does NOT change their minds at all #Kinda miss Japan Club dude he used to design origami in his head whenever we were stuck in a stupid lecture #Which you would THINK wasn't often #because he was an astrophysics major #but we had Freshman Lit and Philosophy together #and sat through the Economists during summer labwork too (@quill-of-thoth)

I didn't really understand The Guy despite knowing all the behaviors but the tags explain it (I annoyed all my classmates in humanities too because I kept getting praised by professors despite using glitter gel pens for notes and being the human personification of a slacker who still passes the classes with flying colors)

The whole AI sphere makes me think that colleges need to engineer more opportunities for programming people to get their butts kicked, in their own sphere, by humanities majors.
