A while ago I created this Non-Canon Devil Fruit Tierlist:

And now I wanna share it, go in depth about the fruits and give proper translated names to the ones that don't have any.

This turned out to be much longer than I thought it I'd be so I'm splitting it into several parts.

Let's start with the S Tiers:

-Goe Goe no Mi (Scream-Scream Fruit):

But no, really, that's what it is. It allows the user to release powerful sound waves by shouting. The power can be controlled, so you could do a tiny scream to say, brake a lock, a chain, etc, fly like that funny Godzilla clip, make smaller shouts and shoot them like a machine gun, or turn your head while screaming to turn it into a slash attack.

-Nemu Nemu no Mi (Sleep-Sleep Fruit): Allows the user to induce sleepiness in others and steal their sleeping victims memories and use them to become bigger and stronger. If that wasn't broken enough, they can also put people in a dream world, and then manipulate said dream world using the stolen memories, hypnotise people and create illusions. This DF is incredibly broken and the only reason it was defeated was because the user is a sea horse. Why are you surprised? It's One Piece.

-Atsu Atsu no Mi (Hot-Hot Fruit):Allows the user to create and control pure heat with a maximum temperature of 10,000 degrees. You can use it for either defense or short and long range attacks, by concentrating the heat into balls to throw at people. You can generate steam to attack or blind enemies or to fly by shooting it out your nose. The user is also unbothered by either extreme cold or heat, you can go out in the snow butt-ass naked or even swim in lava, and then control the lava to turn it into a massive wave. But all that aside, just imagine the practicality! You'll never have to pay for gas or air conditioning ever again!

Oh and the heat can be involuntarily generated by anger, so heads up.

-Noko Noko no Mi (Shroom-Shroom Fruit): It allows the user generate and control poisonous mushroom spores. Sounds simple, but if you're creative you can use this in a manner of ways: you could concentrate the spores to make them look like lasers, clones to either attack, deceive or restrain. The spores can morph your body, like turning your hand into a drill. The spores will dissapear if they or yourself are set on fire, and they can also be countered by an antidote. And one downside is that the spores slowly build up inside your body and you have to release them every 10 years, so you might wanna mark your calendar and plan a vacation to an un-inhabited island.

-Mosa Mosa no Mi (Grow-Grow Fruit): Allows the user to amplify the growth of plants, aswell as having full control of them. You could become the King of the Flourists or Gardeners! Or, Idk, END WORLD HUNGER!!

-Modo Modo no Mi (Return-Return Fruit): Allows the user to return anything and anyone they touch to a younger age, specifically 12 years. You could become a billionaire by charging people to make them younger or to fix things. But of course only by 12 years; but be careful, because if you touch anyone enough times you could de-age them to before they were born. Also the effect wears off if you are knocked out.

-Moa Moa no Mi (More-More Fruit): Allows the user to multiply the size and speed of any object they touch up to 100 times, this also applies to the user. Perfect for combat, and also ENDING WORLD HUNGER AND ALL RESOURCE ISSUES WORLDWIDE!!!

-Nito Nito no Mi (Nitro-Nitro Fruit): You sweat nitroglycerin. You're literally Bakugou. Duh, it's an S.

-Goru Goru no Mi (Gold-Gold Fruit): Allows the user to telekinetically manipulate any gold they've touched. The effect wears off if it's splashed by sea water, in that case they have to touch it again.

It's official english name is the "Gol-Gol Fruit" but that's dumb and it triggers my OCD so I'm calling it Gold.

-Raki Raki no Mi (Luck-Luck Fruit): Allows the user to steal the luck of anyone they touch and in-turn make the victim unlucky. This is incredibly OP, but the effect is temporary, either because the luck "returns" to the victims or because it was "spent", which leads me to the next point: you can't control how the luck is spent, so if it ends with something you didn't mean or want to happen, you are unaware of it.

-Nepa Nepa no Mi (Wave-Wave Fruit): Allows the user to generate heat waves. The waves are so powerful that they could destroy entire islands. They can also be amped up by using a giant fan.

-Mono Mono no Mi (Paste-Paste Fruit): Allows the user to create clones of people and things. The clones obey the user no matter what, even if they do something that's out-of-character; while they have the same skills, they're not as strong as the original.

-Basu Basu no Mi (Boom-Boom Fruit): Allows the user to turn anything they touch into a bomb.

Fun Fact: It was eaten by a dude named Balzac.

-Gasha Gasha no Mi (Clank-Clank Fruit): Allows the user to telekinetically disassemble, rearrange and combine inanimate objects to make mechanical creations. You could make Gundam. Downsides: limited range and what you can make is dependant on the nearby materials and your own mechanical knowledge.

-Nibi Nibi no Mi (Wisp-Wisp Fruit): Allows the user to control will-o'-the-wisps and reproduce the appearance and abilities of the deceased after touching a memento of said deceased. The wisps can also be used offensively.

The name was made by me.

-Uta Uta no Mi (Sing-Sing Fruit): Allows the user to transport their and others' consciousness to a virtual space called "Uta World", which they have complete control over, by singing; it can work via livestreams too. The user can also control the unconscious real-world bodies of those inside Uta World. The only one that can allow someone to leave Uta World is the user. While the user is omnipotent, they're not omniscient, so you can run away, hide in soundproof areas, or even trap the user in a soundproof containment field. The user can livestream images from Uta World to the real world. The ability is active for as long as the user is awake, which is difficult since the ability consumes a lot of stamina. And if the user dies, everyone in Uta World is trapped there forever.

-Kote Kote no Mi (Grab-Grab Fruit): Allows the user to create a pair of giant gauntlets. They can be used to punch, grab, and control any non-living thing in the user's grasp, like lightning. It's just a Stand. You can also use them defend yourself, make them into reflectice surfaces to ricochet bullets and even grab living beings and extract information from them. They can be repelled by strong wills and you can only grab two things at a time.

-Mari Mari no Mi (Mari-Mari Fruit): Allows the user to make copies of people and command them, the only weakness of the fruit is that you need to know a person's name and see them directly to copy them.

"Mari" is short for "marionette". I made this name too but it's so obvious I don't think it counts.

-Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), Model: Bake-danuki: Allows the user to become a full Bake-danuki (a tanuki yokai) or a half-Bake-danuki hybrid. This is Mythical Zoan (a type even rarer than a Logia), which aside from the usual Zoan powers, it usually grants an extra Paramecia-style power. This one allows the user to turn leaves into ANYTHING. By writing the name of something or someone on a leaf the user can create people, objects, environments, you name it! And if they make clones, they are completely loyal to the user, although not as strong as the originals. They can also clone themselves.

-Batto Batto no Mi (Bat-Bat Fruit), Model: Vampire: Allows the user to become a full vampire or a half-vampire hybrid while also being able to fly and drain the life-force of others. The life-force sucking works via the fangs or the your fingers (Wryyyy!), making you young and basically immortal if you keep up that habit. And if you're not total dick, like Dio, you can return the life-force with no ill effects.

-Ame Ame no Mi (Candy-Candy Fruit): Allows the user to create, control, and transform into candy syrup; you can also harden the candy for defense or turn it into weapons. Now this one is a doosy, because it's confirmed to be a Logia, but with the current available information, I think that it's a Special Paramecia. It fits all the criteria for one (Set by the only other example: the Mochi-Mochi Fruit.): having more than one of the three Paramecia ability types with a man-made element. And Logia's only allow the user to become a natural elemental, like fire, light, smoke, soot and even abstract concepts like darkness, and candy syrup sadly doesn't fit the bill. Oh, and it's also weak to getting eaten.

-Meta Meta no Mi (Metal-Metal Fruit): Allows the user to generate and control liquid metal. You can create communicating liquid metal clones that mimic people and animals and also create replacement limbs. This fruit doesn't have an established type, but with the description in the wiki about what it does, it's pretty fair to say it's a Paramecia.

Obvious name added by me.

-Zuma Zuma no Mi (Plasma-Plasma Fruit): Allows the user to generate, control and become plasma. The only known use of this fruit is to create large, electricity-emitting balls of plasma. This fruit also doesn't have an established type, and while it sounds like it's a Logia, it was actually stated in it's debut live show to not be case. And this make sense because in the live show the plasma images used were of man-made plasma lamps, making this a Special Paramecia.

Obvious name added by me.

-Ryu Ryu no Mi (Dragon-Dragon Fruit), Model: Stegosaurus: Allows the user to become a full Stegosaurus or a half-Stegosaurus hybrid. You can become a dinosaur, come on, it's an obvious S! This is an Ancient Zoan type, which are way rarer than a regular Zoans; this fruit was part of the original concept for the character Black Maria, who later on was given the spider Ancient Zoan, the Kumo Kumo no Mi (Spider-Spider Fruit), Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli, instead.

This was probably changed to shake things up between the Tobiroppo (a group Maria belonged to), who all had dino Zoans, and it would be difficult for her be a sexy femme fatale while being a big, fat dino.

Name made by me.

And that's it for the S-Ranks! Stay tuned for Part 2!

And here is the link, so you can make your own list, if you want:

[chillcoffeeash]

My short tier list of animes i watched on this autumn school break.

S: Fruit Basket.

A: Yuri on Ice, Another

C: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation.

So about Fruit Basket - the best anime i. Ever. Watched. It's sooooooo amazing)). It has fun moments, sad moments, characters with interesting story. Yeah!

Yuri on Ice is interesting and a bit refreshing)) i can only say that.

Another - great anime to watch on Halloween, pretty interesting story about mysterious curse that kills students one by one. Maybe it's one of the best animes to watch on Halloween. If you'll ever want to watch some Horror Anime on next Halloween, add this to your list.

Jobless Reincarnation...? Is Ok. Just Okay. I watched it only because my classmate recommended it. Maybe, if i was straight it could be higher, but idk. So it gets C. Watched season 1 fully, and partly season 2. It's too boring.

I will not elaborate

[deathdetermineslife]

fun things you can do when you have an f/o!

print out pictures of them to hang up on your wall!

if they wear jewelry, make it!

make stickers of them! (there's tutorials on youtube of how to make stickers at home, or, you can get sticker paper on amazon for pretty cheap, mine was $6!)

if you do make stickers, put them on your sketchbook, journal, laptop, or whatever you feel like putting them on!

make a google slides presentation on them! alternatively, you could also write an essay about them.

if they don't have a canonical style of handwriting, find or try to write in a way they would write!

if they do, try making your own font of their handwriting that you can download and use. or, try to learn how to write similarly to them, maybe write letters to yourself from their perspective.

if they have a birthday or there's a holiday coming up (irl or canonical), make a card for them!

make them in the sims, or some other character creation making game. or, make a minecraft skin of them.

draw them as a character from another source. for example, draw them as a pony from mlp, or draw them as a character from smiling friends!

make a playlist of youtube videos you'd think they'd enjoy watching, and perhaps watch them again and pretend like you're watching them with your f/o.

make food they canonically like, or you'd think they'd like!

make a tier list as if they were making it! like a fruit tier list, for example.

if I think of anything else, I'll make a part 2!

[ulkoilla]

Hard agree but they should include if the fruit is wet and gooey (strawberries in yogurt) or if they are firm (cherries) or even hard like chocolate chips. The world needs mohs scale to describe bits in yogurt and soup.

i think all yogurt needs to be labeled as to whether or not it has fruit bits in it, like orange juice is with pulp. for autism purposes

Hey, y'all remember this:

Yeah, I bet you don't.

This is my One Piece Tier List for every Non-Canon Devil Fruit.

And I decided that as my first post of

🐉0🐉4

I'm making a sorta sequel to it. In this, I talk about the possible awakenings for ALL of the Devil Fruits I've ranked.

And in case you're somehow interested, here are the links to where I go in depth about them and their ranking:

And here is the link for the actual tier list:

For if you wanna make one yourself 🙂:

For those who don't know:

An Awakening is when a Devil Fruit user's mind and body catch up to their powers. When a Devil Fruit's power is awakened, the increased abilities allow greater power, more refined control, and new abilities that would otherwise not be possible. The awakening depends on the type of Devil Fruit. It takes time to fully master awakened powers; if they haven't been mastered, they can still be used, but they take a serious toll on the user's stamina. This also applies to Special Paramecias.

Awakened Paramecias usually grant the user a wider area of effect for their abilities, transform the environment around them to match the nature of their fruit, manipulate the material from afar, with their minds, in any way they desire. That being said, there are a few Awakened abilities that show unique traits despite the general idea between them being similar.

Awakened Zoans are a gamble; they grant greater strength, speed, durability and enhanced healing, but since Zoans grant the abilities of a living creature they have a will of their own and thus can cause the user to be overwhelmed by the animalistic nature of the fruit, turning them into a giant, deformed version of a Hybrid Form, one that is mostly animal with few human attributes and fewer intelligence, acting mostly out of instinct; it's unknown if this change is permanent or if it's by choice.

However, if one were to have the willpower to overcome the fruit's animal nature they would gain a new, sleeker, powerful transformation known as an Awakened Form. These are recognized by flaming hair and a scarf of flaming smoke around the user. The color of the smoke represents the user's morality, white for good and black for evil.

There aren't any canon Awakened Logia's, yet. The most popular theory is that an Awakened Logia can permanently change the enviroment to match the nature of their fruit. This spawned from a fight between the users of the Magu Magu (Magma) and Hie Hie (Ice) no Mis, permanently transformed the island of Punk Hazard; making one half a frozen tundra and the other half into basically hell. Another example to support this theory is the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit, who can dry up anything he touches and transform it into a barren desert.

Something I myself came up with is that an Awakened Logia user also has total control of their given element. This was inspired by Kizaru, user of the Pika Pika no Mi (Glint/Light), who can make light-weapons and clones of himself.

-Goe Goe no Mi (Shout): Even more powerful beams, more precise control, precise enough to control their shape, making them solid and able to use as weapons; make an orb that can be stored and used as a grenade. Can also turn the screams of others into beams and make them attack each other, which would also affect their communication.

-Nemu Nemu no Mi (Sleep): Bigger area of effect and being able to manifest dreams into the real world.

-Atsu Atsu no Mi (Hot): Standard Paramecia Awakening; can generate even more heat and has more precise control, like the Goe Goe no Mi. Can control anything that generates heat by touching it, like lava, fire, steam, hot coal, etc.

-Mosa Mosa no Mi (Grow): Bigger range, enhancing the strength, durability and regeneration of plants and can even revive dead plants.

-Modo Modo no Mi (Return): Can de-age things even further and from a distance.

-Moa Moa no Mi (More): Standard Paramecia Awakening; can multiply up to 200 times and can multiply the speed and strength of others as well.

-Goru Goru no Mi (Gold): Actually Awakened. Greater influence over the gold under their control, creating a complex sensory network. Any disturbances on the gold will be noticed.

-Raki Raki no Mi (Luck): Can absorb luck from people from a distance, can share the luck with others, imbue it into objects, is able to control what the luck is spent on, can also remotely control and swap the luck of others.

-Uta Uta no Mi (Sing): Standard Paramecia Awakening; the user can manifest Uta World into real life, is omniscient and omnipresent within it and can control anyone who hears them sing whether they be awake or not.

-Kote Kote no Mi (Grab): More hands, can control living things, but can be overcome by great willpower and the amount of control over something, like changing their size, gender, color, shape, adding or removing limbs.

-Mari Mari no Mi (Marionette): Clones are more powerful and are created with just eye contact.

. Inu Inu no Mi (Dog), Model: Bake-danuki: The only awakened Mythical Zoans are Luffy and Jaygarcia Saturns; besides the standard Zoan awakening, no one knows what they do.

-Ryu Ryu no Mi (Dragon), Model: Stegosaurus: Same with Ancients.

-Kame Kama no Mi (Sickle): Shaper nails=Stronger air blades, don't need to be sharpened and can also use toenails.

-Kopi Kopi no Mi (Copy): Can copy powers from a distance and share them with others.

-Gutsu Gutsu no Mi (Smelt): Standard Paramecia Awakening, can absorb ore via touch and turn anything else into a furnace, even other living beings.

-Peto Peto no Mi (Pet): Bigger range of control, the collars home in on their targets and can give commands via thought.

-Iro Iro no Mi (Color): Standard Paramecia Awakening; can generate their own paint.

-Bijo Bijo no Mi (Vision): Standard Paramecia Awakening; the holograms are more realistic.

-Deri Deri no Mi (Delivery): Standard Paramecia Awakening; can deliver anything that is within the user's range, but only if they know it's in their range.

-Kone Kone no Mi (Knead):

-Bana Bana no Mi (Burner): Standard Paramecia Awakening, can absorb the jealousy of others and use it for themselves, and share their own jealousy into others, either to empower allies or cause discourse among enemies.

-Hiso Hiso no Mi (Whisper): Can create a psychic link to share the communication with others, can make the animals just straight up speak and can give the user the ability to hear The Voice of All Things.

Now, you are probably wondering where are the other fruits. Well, I didn't add them in here because those ones subscribed to the standard awakening abilities that I have already disclosed and didn't have anything noteworthy to expand upon.

Here they are:

Noko Noko no Mi (Shroom); honestly, I feel like this one was very close to being awakened already. Nito Nito no Mi (Nitro). Nepa Nepa no Mi (Wave). Mono Mono no Mi (Paste). Basu Basu no Mi (Boom). Gasha Gasha no Mi (Clank); Actually Awakened. Nibi Nibi no Mi (Wisp). Ame Ame no Mi (Candy). Meta Meta no Mi (Metal). Zuma Zuma no Mi (Plasma). Batto Batto no Mi (Bat), Model: Vampire. Kachi Kachi no Mi (Clack). Mini Mini no Mi. Kyubu Kyubu no Mi (Cube). Nuke Nuke no Mi (Through). Jara Jara no Mi (Chain). Ute Ute no Mi (Gun); Actually Awakened. Dero Dero no Mi (Melt). Chuni Chuni no Mi (Tune). Neko Neko no Mi , Model: Cheetah. Tori Tori no Mi (Bird), Model: Eagle. Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Nue. Pasa Pasa no Mi (Paper). Kani Kani no Mi (Crab). Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Black Cat. Kona Kona no Mi (Flour). Kaju Kaju no Mi (Fruit). Maji Maji no Mi (Magic). Bijo Bijo no Mi (Vision). Pocha Pocha no Mi (Fat). Peke Peke no Mi (Peketan). Gemu Gemu no Mi (Game). Ushi Ushi no Mi (Ox), Model: Alpaca. Toro Toro no Mi (Liquid). Obi Obi no Mi (Sash). Ami Ami no Mi (Net). Hore Hore no Mi (Fondly/Fall in love). Kyara Kyara no Mi (Character). Nori Nori no Mi (Dance). Koro Koro no Mi (Roll). Ero Ero no Mi (Erotic).

I didn't add the SMILEs because, since they are artificial, I honestly doubt that they can be awakened.

[wishieaf]

found this tier list and felt 'eh why not' so here it is, about fruits

also an avocado being a fruit makes no sense to me I'm sorry

here's the link if you also wanna make a fruit tier list

[m-jay-gee]

you know what. posting this will get me crucified. but i will anyway.

[leaf-line]

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐀 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠

Yandere! Dr Ratio x Gn! Reader

❏ You and Dr Ratio bakes cake after your milestone! All harmless, absolutely nothing bad will happen!

cw: invasion of privacy, implied isolation, people pleaser reader, mentions of insecurities and mental illnesses, suicide.

w/c: 2,856

"I'm starting to see your improvements." Ratio hums, sounding pleased, which is rare for him to do, but it's not impossible.

Contrary to his calm demeanor, you were emotional.

"That's all you could say!? This is big! This is a big deal!!" You cried out, snatching the papers—the fruits of your labor, the results of your hard, hard work—from Veritas.

Your heart was thumping so loudly. It was as if all your red blood cells received glucose simultaneously.

"I can't believe... I got high scores on all tests... All in a row..." You weep out of joy seeing all of them be above the number of 95. You could let your knees fall to the ground and start having a breakdown to release all the stress kept up in your years of living. "My life... Is fulfilled... Suffering... Is no more... Augh—" You state dramatically, Ratio could only scoff at your s-tier performance.

"It is a feat for a person like you. However, this is not the ending point for you to cry out of joy; there's always more to strive for and be better at. The room isn't that small. There's still more for improvement. However... You did great, I'm proud of you for that." He lectures as if to say 95 isn't enough and you need full scores, but honestly, you can't even be mad at him.

After all, he was the one who pushed you to achieve something such as this. If it weren't for him, you'd be nothing but a plain potato who didn't achieve anything meaningful.

A genius prodigy such as him could easily turn a useless stone like you into a shining diamond. You felt grateful.

"Ahaha..." You laugh ironically. "But thanks, it's all thanks to you, you should be proud." You wipe your tears eyes with a finger, then smile brightly at him.

He said nothing, and you grinned. Maybe it was because your smile was so contagious he was stunned, but then again, you don't know what's going on behind that mask of his. You could only see him turn his head away from you.

You wanted to know truly if he's fond of you or not.

Your tutor... No, rather, your friend Ratio was someone you never expected to get along with. Rather, you were extremely opposed to the idea, and perhaps, even was he.

Recalling back to that time, both of you first met... Wasn't exactly the best first impression...

"Welcome, Sir Veritas Ratio. Meet my child... [Name], please take care of them from now on. They might be a little... Uneducated, but I hope that you can help them with that." Your mother pushes your back towards him, in which you internally scowl in return.

You eyed him. He looked rather young to be your tutor.

"Ah, and I couldn't help but notice that both of you are the same age. If that is the case, then I hope that the both of you will get along well!" Your mother cheerfully says so.

You doubted that heavily.

That's because you did your research before meeting him in person.

A lot of people said that the prodigy was cruel, relentless, and maybe even sadistic. And the list goes on. The most positive and recurring mentioned trait of his was being academically talented.

As soon as your mother left you with him, you felt vulnerable, as if you were out in the open and someone was ready to stab you with words like knife, take for example; the person in front of you.

You try to pace down your heartbeat to not overthink it... It works.

It's fine, it's fine, he's a prodigy, surely he knows about the fact of how the human heart is delicate and needs to be handled carefully. What's the worst he could say to you out loud?

No matter what it is, you won't let it reach you!

"Hey... You." He calls out, you prepare yourself.

There's no way he's gonna be 'that' cruel to you... Right? You both just met.

"Have you taken a shower? You stink."

...

A part of you cracked.

"Let's move on quickly, I don't have time to deal with idiots such as you."

And it cracks again.

Yeah... It wasn't the best, but at least he doesn't say that anymore. In fact, it helped you that he said that, since you don't neglect hygienic activities as much anymore. But as Professor Veritas Ratio once said, 'Don't dwell in the past for long,' let's focus on the future and present!

Since this is a milestone for you, you should gift Dr Ratio with a thank you.

"I'm in no need of your services. This feat was only achieved through your hard work. You should treat only yourself." He said out of nowhere.

"Wait— H-How did you even—"

"Your face said it all."

"Huh???"

Dr Ratio seems to have a knack for using his hidden mind-reading powers on you. You don't like that. You'll always feel vulnerable to him every time at this point.

"Ah... Too bad... I was gonna make myself some homemade cake and share it with you... Too bad you don't want it. I guess I'll just stick to being lonely and take it all for myself." You puff out, obviously picking on him.

"Then let me help you, for all I could know, the house might be burned down before you can even bake one successfully." He replies back with no remorse.

"How rude!"

You end up baking at his home.

You simply didn't want the place to be yours since your mom is gonna be there saying you're wasting your time doing all this, so it's gonna be annoying.

And so you're there, stirring a bowl with a whisk, while there's Ratio holding out the instructions. You can't lie; he looks kinda cuter with that apron he's wearing if only his strange plaster sculpture weren't covering his appearance.

"You know... Veritas... You can remove that mask off. Since... Ya know? We're baking."

"Focus on the task at hand."

"Damn..."

You were silenced immediately, so you carefully put down the bowl, ——albeit with a trembling hand that made you feel pathetic——, to move over to the chopping board with the bowl of strawberries that you're gonna cut. You reach out for the knife

...If not for Dr Ratio intervening.

"Let me handle that." He says, practically shoving you away from the chopping board. He takes the knife and chops it with ease despite wearing that weird sculpture on his head. You wonder if he can see with that.

"Woah... Are you worried about me accidentally cutting myself?" Your eyes widen in surprise.

"I didn't know you actually cared for me, Professor Veritas... Hmmm, but I suppose you can't help it; after all, I'm the cutest and the best student ever had, aren't I?" You bat your eyelashes for the sake of sarcasm.

"Perhaps."

"...Eh?"

Too blunt, you feel your cheeks burning up.

You wonder if he's just playing along with your sarcasm because there is absolutely no way that's the case.

"I'm not playing around with your jokes. I'm simply laying out the possibility."

"There you go... Using your mind reading powers again..."

"It's not that hard to do if you have two eyes and a brain."

"I have a brain too... Not everyone can exactly know what a person is thinking just by looking at their face and expression."

"I doubt both of those statements."

"...Okay, rude."

"It's not about skills, actually; you're just an open book."

"Am I really??"

You hum, seeing him chop the strawberries more efficiently than you ever could. You know all well you'd cut it clumsily, then they'd end up looking like you've beaten them to mashes. You walk to the over to preheat it while he does his own thing. You gaze at the warm light.

"This cake is just for the two of us. I can't really share it with anyone else. If only I could, I would." You murmur your thoughts out loud, feeling close enough to him to tell him your issues occurring these days. You stand up to walk over next to him.

"...Why is that?"

"Everyone at the campus... Ignores me. I don't know why." You say, your expression showing one of disheartened, but you bothered to put up a smile. "I know, I know, I shouldn't be bothered with this minimalistic stuff." You chuckle.

"... Human life inevitably takes the form of a struggle against loneliness. We reach out to others in order to avoid sinking into complete isolation. However, although they might provide us with some degree of consolation and felt connection, our loneliness is something that can never be overcome. Therefore, you have the right to be bothered by it. Even if everyone on your campus notices you, you'll still end up feeling lonely."

"So... You're telling me my feelings don't matter even if I single myself out?"

"You have me, don't you?"

"Woah??"

"Don't go around putting random ideas in your head. It's just, if you ever feel like you're the only person existing in the universe, remember me." He placed down the knife to lightly pat your head.

"..." It was as if you remember something foul, you feel your smile fading for a bit. "You know, I wondered if people avoid because they think I'm annoying. Do you find me annoying too Dr Ratio?" You humor a question.

"I'd be lying if I said not entirely."

"And here I thought you were trying to comfort me." You laugh, taking the strawberries he chopped and mixed it with the other ingredients. You think carefully on what you're about to say next.

"There was this one guy named [____], he thinks I'm annoying but... We... 'Talked' everyday, but one day he just suddenly killed himself." You wonder if you were the reason, though it's too far fetched, you still felt guilty.

"...i see, but you shouldn't blame yourself. It's not your fault, he must've had his own problems." He says... For some reason, you felt like he sounded awfully guilty too.

"...You're right."

You glance back at your baking progress only to see that it's already prepared for the oven. "Oh... It seems like we were taking too much I didn't even realize."

"Focus. Place that in the oven for 40 minutes." He orders, you nod and follow obediently.

As that was done, you breathe out a sigh. "Where's your bathroom?" You ask.

"Go to that hallway, you'll find it eventually."

You didn't bother to ask more and marched straight into it.

Whilst walking, you find... His room, no, it might be an office knowing who he is.

Your curiosity lead to dumb decisions such as this one, so you open the door which was surprisingly open. The room felt fancy and professional, you felt like you were a dirt intruding inside a perfectly clean place.

The walls were decorated with a bunch of awards, eight doctoral degrees, outstanding achievements in the fields of biology, medicine, natural theology, philosophy, mathematics, physics, and engineering— ah, you felt dizzy.

"Uwah..." You felt jealous, though it must've been stressful and uneasy to achieve all this. You send a regard in your mind for him, hoping that he didn't stress all this too much.

You wonder why you were even next to him, how could you even stand next to someone such as him, it felt like something out of fantasy, only someone with the same level as him should he be talking to. You were a simpleton compared to him.

Being in character of a simpleton, a stupid, brainless simpleton, you dig more on his room, to that resulted of you seeing a notebook placed on a desk. "Looks important... Is this his diary or something?"

Despite saying that, you still flipped the notebook into a page, reading it...

[Name] [Last Name]

Gender: [______]

Species: Human

Height: [______]

Weight: [______]

Address: [______]

Social Security Number: [______]

Birthdate: [______]

Mother: [______] - Occupation: The IPC Strategic Investment Department

Father: [______] - Deceased

Huh? Isn't this your... Private information... Why... Is it in his handwriting...? Your hand reluctantly flips to the next page.

[Name] [Last Name]'s history with their mother isn't difficult to understand, they're not fond of their mother for the sole reason of abandonment and high expectations, their mother does not have the time to raise a child for she is busy working for the IPC. However, she holds high expectations for [Name] despite not teaching them and leaving them to fend for their own without help, naturally, [Name], without tools, [Name] learned nothing and struggled to understand the materials exposed to them. With no choice left, their mother found a teacher that will help them raise up to her expectations.

I do not understand why she chose me out of everyone, perhaps because of the same age we have, but unlike them, my standards were advanced, choosing me will only cause [Name] to struggle more, I feel bad, so I set my teachings to them to be more tame and easy to understand, but difficult enough for them to improve even slightly, but to my utter surprise, they followed along with it. Not to say that they didn't struggle, in fact, they struggled greatly, but despite that, they pursued the materials. Despite their many flaws, they strive for the betterment of themselves.

Struggles and insecurities, they suffer from anxiety and depression, for one, they struggle to be hygienic and procrastinate, they prefer to relax and wallow on their own self pity rather than choose to study, they have a rather low view of themselves and low confidence, dead honest about thinking that they're a hopeless idiot, however they cover the fact that they think of that by joking around and putting up a false confidence to everyone. They care about the well-being of other people more than themselves. On the other hand, they feel the fear from failure, evident by how their hand trembles whenever they feel like—

Enough. You felt cold sweat dripping on you face. That's... Too much, he isn't supposed to know all this. It's you personal thing. How did he even...

You don't why, you really don't know why you still haven't left the notebook alone and left the room, you don't know why you still flipped to the next page.

Spreading rumors about them weren't difficult, as it seems like all those people are easily swayed by simple words, however, through that action, [Name] regretfully became a target of bad intent. Through pros and cons, I conclude that it was worth it, the sight of [Name] relying on me is ever so priceless.

[____], a wretch, a classmate of [Name], bullying [Name] over his own insecurities, rather than taking it out on something else, he takes out his pent up stress on other people, [Name] being the victim. [Name] seems to have noticed this, so rather than telling people of fighting back, they endured it, telling nobody about it (even me). I have a speculation that they simply endured it with a naive thought of helping that ignorant wretch.

He appears to have a delicate ego and heart, as it turns out he was taking it out on [Name] simply because he admired me and thinking that it should be him that I should be teaching rather than [Name]. As said, he had a delicate ego and a delicate heart, so it wasn't difficult to shatter it into pieces. I admit, though immoral, I found his dismay satisfying, ignorant people like him deserved to jump off that building—

You head snapped to the door and you felt a chilling sensation on your spine.

No longer wearing his mask, his head leaned onto the doorframe.

You drop the note book on the floor, seeing as pictures of you that were stuck on that note book to fly and scatter on the ground.

"Had fun reading? Were even in terms of privacy, did I ever tell you that you can meddle with my notes?" He questioned, his face showed no emotion.

"...Why— Why would y-you—?" You felt tears invade your vision, you heart being constricted.

"I take it were gonna have a long conversation later? No, actually..." He says, getting closer to you, you instinctively take the same steps back.

He gets closer and closer until your back is facing the wall, he placed a hand to obscure your vision. Perhaps the reason he covers his face around you, is because he's just as an open book as you when he's around you, he can't have you seeing his overly infatuated expression, even after he was trying so hard to hide it.

"Let's settle this short, right here, right now, I'll tell you everything. We have 25 minutes left, can't have the cake burning in the oven for too long can we?"

a/n: fun fact! just in case you missed it, at the first part of this short story, dr ratio subconsciously turned his head away from you because he was flustered by your gratefulness for him, sorry if it sounded like a vent at some parts, idk what occurred to me 💀, maybe it's because dr ratio is ironically my comfort character, i hate people like him irl but...
