GOD modern Laios would make such a good little trophy/house husband 🥺 he LOVES cooking dinner for you when you come home after a long day of being the breadwinner. you get to spoil and dote on him and he gets to spend all day doing nerd shit and taking care of the house (he LOVES cooking you dinner and seeing the look of relief on your face coming home to a clean house & warm meal after a long day)
on your anniversary you come home and he's cooked a fucking 5 star meal- like the kinda shit you only get at some fancy ass overpriced restaurant . After dinner you suprise him with a huge intricate Lego set you know he's been wanting but wouldn't ask for because it's soooo expensive & he nearly cries.
He spends like 2 hours going down on you out of pure joy alone before letting you tie him to the bed and ride him until he DOES cry- whimpering "thank you" and "I love you"'s over and over before you've even let him cum. tears falling down his flushed cheeks and eyes rolling back in his head as he writhes against the restraints, so desperate and grateful for whatever you give him. such a good boy, your perfect little house husband 😌
GOOOOOOD YES
okay. Since we got minimum wage retail Laios confirmed by Kui. House husband Laios is so fucking real.
Laios who’s a total part timer since meeting you, he works for pocket change and like. Bare minimum benefits just to keep things comfy for the two of you while he basically puts everything in savings. (Until like one day he just quits tbh when yall are really settled in)
But like in my mind he works under the table at Senshi’s restaurant for cash + to learn about cooking! They go on fishing/hunting/hiking trips together and go to the farmers market to get fresh produce and Senshi teaches Laios everything he knows.
He cleans up your apartment every day. Like, he’s not the best or a maid or anything. He’s just a dude. But he does recognize that he’s immensely privileged and does his best to show you hey. He does care. And he wants you to not have to bust your ass after coming from a full time shift. He does basic things like dishes and stuff and on the weekends you guys maybe spend an hour or two maximum cleaning on the weekends together
LAIOS. PACKS YOUR LUNCH. He love love LOVES doing this and he has little sandwich shapers to make them into little dinosaurs or dolphins or something. And he does bentos with cute little pins and molds and he lovingly spends time on this. I think he genuinely enjoys doing this stuff and testing out new recipes.
And cooking in general!! Like that is how Laios shows he loves you forreal. He genuinely pays attention to your tastes and tries to “gourmet” your favorite foods. (I’ve been rereading the manga and when Marcille’s upset he offers to try his best to make whatever she wants to eat out of monsters and it’s so cute…). Like you want grilled cheese? How about grilled Brie on fresh made bread? Bagels? Oh yeah he tried a new recipe at Senshi’s at 4 am, here’s fresh out of the oven pastries. It’s so cute.
I think. He loves like those random ass kitchen gadgets too. He 100% has an ice cream maker and he makes custom flavors for you.
And he just loves watching you eat. It’s such an expression of love. He works so damn hard to make you smile and make you happy. And his food never sucks because 1. Senshi teaches him everything 2. He ALWAYS tests recipes before going way too hard with them. Like he pays attention to your palette so if he made something gross or something just. Not to your tastes you’d let him know in the trial stage.
And GOD. Laios is just a fucking sex toy I swear. He’s genuinely like. A subby service top. He wants you to absolutely use him however you want but he likes to be the one that’s doing most of the work because he likes to spoil you with his body…(also he cums super easily in my hc so if he tops he’s able to like. Pull out and give you head or switch positions when he’s getting too close)
But when you spoil him and ride him…tell him how handsome he is and how much you love him. yeah he’s crying and whimpering about how much he loves you and how you’re just so fucking perfect. It makes your head spin because Laios genuinely makes you feel like you’re the only person on earth for him.
#this. this is beautiful anon thank you so much.#dungeon meshi#laios touden#laios x reader#dungeon meshi x reader

Shuro's Ninja Girl Squad: Why do they have code names? Does Toshiro have a code name????
(WARNING FOR GENERAL SPOILERS!) The culture of Wa Island appears to be inspired exclusively by historic Japan, since all of the characters that come from Wa have Japanese names, clothing, weapons, and magic, they eat Japanese food, imagine traditional Japanese-style artwork, and obey Japanese social norms.
THE NINJA GIRL SQUAD
Maizuru, Hein, Benichidori, Inutade and Izutsumi are servants that work for the Nakamoto family, and they have been assigned to travel with Toshiro, serve and protect him. In some translations they have been called retainers. I’m not sure what the original Japanese calls them, but most likely some form of servant or vassal, such as 家臣 or 家来.
A retainer is a part of a retinue, which is a group of people who are "retained" (employed) in the service of nobility, royalty or a dignitary.
Retainers can have many varied functions, such as domestic servants, personal attendants, bodyguards, porters, musicians, tutors, translators, guides, etc. Retainers often wear some kind of uniform, possibly bearing the colors or insignia of their lord. They serve their master, but they also expect to be protected and cared for by their master as a part of his household.
HISTORIC JAPANESE NAMING CONVENTIONS
Japanese personal names were fluid in the pre-modern era. Men changed their names for a variety of reasons: to signify that they had attained a higher social status, to demonstrate their allegiance to a house or clan, to show that they had succeeded to the headship of a family or company, to shed bad luck that was attached to an inauspicious name, or simply to avoid being mistaken for a neighbor with a similar name.
Changes in women's personal names were recorded less often, so they may not have changed their names as frequently as men did, but women who took jobs (such as maids or entertainers) frequently changed their names for the duration of their service. During their employment, their temporary names were treated as their legal names.
THE NAKAMOTO CLAN���S NAMING PRACTICES
All of Toshiro’s servants, Maizuru, Hien, Benichidori, Inutade and Izutsumi, have real names and work-issued code-names, similar to the Japanese practice I just described. Only Izutsumi seems to mind this, the rest of the characters use their aliases all the time.
All of the ninja code-names are plant-based, and Maizuru, Hein and Benichidori’s names also have a bird theme, something they do not share with Izutsumi and Inutade. All of the birds they are named after have been popular in Japan since ancient times and are considered lucky symbols. The plants Maizuru, Hein and Benichidori are named after are also all beautiful flowers, while Izutsumi’s is a toxic shrub and Inutade’s is a weed.
This may be meant to show how Izutsumi and Inutade’s status is separate and lower from the other three.
Interestingly, although Toshiro is their master, he also has a nickname, given to him by Laios, that sounds like a plant, which matches his subordinates!
Perhaps the way Toshiro endures this nickname and doesn't protest it, is a hint that Toshiro does not want to enforce his position as a superior to his subordinates, but wants to treat them with compassion and empathy, because he does not consider himself better than them. He demonstrates this when he gets down on his knees and begs Maizuru and the others to help him save Falin, since this is going outside of their standard duties.
This unusual humility and kindness is probably why the World Guide says Maizuru thinks Toshiro will be a better leader than his father.
If you want more details, and to read a full analysis of all of their names and code-names, be sure to check out Chapter 6 of my essay!
BONUS: TOSHIRO’S SECRET NICKNAME???
Laios, mishearing Toshiro’s name during their first meeting, started calling him シュロー (Shurow), and told everyone they met that his name was Shuro. Toshiro, too embarrassed to correct him, has allowed this to continue for the three years that they’ve known each other.
Shuro (棕櫚 or シュロ) is Trachycarpus fortunei, the Chinese windmill palm or Chusan palm. It is a species of evergreen palm tree in the family Arecaceae, native to parts of China, Japan, Myanmar and India.
Windmill palm is one of the hardiest palms. They tolerate cool, moist summers as well as cold winters. Trachycarpus fortunei has been cultivated in China and Japan for thousands of years, for its coarse but very strong leaf sheath fiber, used for making rope, sacks, and other coarse cloth where great strength is important.
This is very funny, since we know that Toshiro is one of the strongest characters in the story, due to his skill with the blade... But we also know he's insanely patient (tolerates everything, just like the palm!), because he puts up with Laios bothering him for years before finally snapping and asserting his boundaries.
Plus, a palm tree used to make humble but strong items such as rope, sacks and coarse cloth, really shows Toshiro's true nature (a strong but humble man) versus his aristocratic status.
THREE TYPES OF BROOM
A Shuro Houki (棕櫚箒) is a traditional Japanese hemp-palm broom made from the Trachycarpus fortunei palm.
There are three distinct subtypes of this broom, the first two of which are considered very durable and the last one which is considered expendable. The Hon-onike Houki will last for 1/3rd of a person’s life, a Onike Houki you’ll need to replace every 15 years, and a Kawa Houki can be thrown away after 2 years of use.
Toshiro is the oldest of three brothers, and they are competing for their father’s favor to see who will become the heir of the household… Their father is testing them to see which of them is disposable, and which of them is strong enough to lead the family. Which type of broom are they?
SHURO THE HUMAN NAME
It should also be noted that Shuro is a Japanese name, it just isn't a nickname for Toshiro. The correct nicknames for Toshiro would be Toshi, or Shiro. Shuro sounds similar to Shiro, but it would be like calling someone named Robert the nickname Bart instead of Bert, or calling Matthew Pat.
Depending on the kanji used Shuro can mean several things. I think the most appropriate kanji is 修郎.
修 means to make right, to be in shape, to become correct, to put things together, to learn, to acquire learning or skills, to decorate, to harmonize, to fix, to mend, to put together in a book, good, excellent, beautiful, splendid.
郎 means male, men, young men, boy.
While Toshiro’s actual name describes him very well, his nickname, given to him by Laios, is also extremely accurate. Laios’ name means “left” and “wrong”, so Toshiro’s name potentially meaning things like “right”, “correct” and “to fix” is extremely funny and appropriate!
They can fix their friendship!

Ineffable Plan
Bela Dimitrescu x g¡p reader
Part 5
You didn't know what hurt more your head or your stomach, a full day of work without even having breakfast was killing you and you oversaw directing more than carrying the bricks.
What the hell those maids have in their heads to blow up the wall?
And where the hell did they get the dynamite?
If you found them, you would shove a brick up their a-
*BAM*
A pat on the back send you to the ground
“Oh shit, sorry,” Relia helped you to stand up “what a day huh?”
“Ugh” You responded showing unmatched wisdom.
“Hahaha be glad that at least you're going to have a delicious dinner, Thea is…”
The words of the Master carpenter went in one ear and out the other, was it rude? Yes. Did you have the energy to care? No.
Maybe after eating.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
“Why did you decide to stay in the castle after your contract ended?”
You were supposed to be more subtle, but your brain didn't cooperate with you, in the kitchen there were only you, Relia and chef Dorothea, the others had already retired to their rooms.
“With your experience you could help the village with constructions and repairs, fences have been created to protect against the Lycans but they are easily destroyed, it really needs experienced labor I’m sure that even the most stubborn man would have to listen to you”
To your surprise Relia burst out laughing which offended you a little, it took her a few seconds to calm down and the offense you felt vanished when you noticed the melancholy in her eyes despite her smile.
“Everything comes back” seeing your continued confusion “Years ago I asked my predecessor and teacher, Daria, the same question when I found out that she was going to give up her body and blood voluntarily instead of living in the village”
What? voluntarily?
Dorothea, who was heating water on the stove, answered your questions.
“The meat I receive to serve the Ladies doesn’t only come from intruders who enter Dimitrescu’s territory or maids who break the rules too many times, if it were to be like that it would be too little to feed the whole family for the entire year.”
Now that you think about it, the deaths of the workers are few compared to the rumors, in the four months you’ve been here at most there have been 6 or 7, which is almost nothing compared to the dozens that are spoken of in the town. The maids disappear for two or three days before returning to work, paler and more obedient; and in the worst cases without a finger or two, but they come back.
“The blood mostly comes from the donor maids, they receive better food, better pay and some protection in exchange for their services.” The chef came over and poured three cups of tea, you thanked her. “When they die their body will be served or buried, they have the last word as a sign of respect for their work to House Dimitrescu” Dorothea put down the pot to sit next to Relia “Daria chose to live in the castle as a donor until the end of her days”
“And she decided to be buried, she designed her coffin, and I built it, was the most elegant one in her family’s plot even in death she wanted to make it clear how much she had triumphed over those fucking bastards” Relia replied with a proud smile.
“I guess she didn’t get along with her family” You said adding a sugar cube to your cup.
“They were the ones who manipulated her into coming to the castle in the first place” The carpenter said with hatred in her voice “and when the contract ended, she returned only to be attacked for not continuing to work to pay off the debts they had gotten themselves into after spending everything she sent them; when she returned, she no longer sent them a penny.” Relia took a sip of her tea. “At least that’s what she told me when I asked her the same question”
“And what was your reason for staying?” The tea didn’t help keep the sleep away.
“My parents are dead, and I was never close to the rest of my family. I don’t think they’ll accept me with open arms. Most likely they’ll force me to marry or throw me out on the street, master carpenter or not. Besides…” Relia took the chef’s hand to kiss her palm. “I’d miss my wife too much.”
Her what?!
Dorothea smiled fondly and kissed her wife’s cheek.
“I could say the same.”
You had really dissociated yourself from the conversation with Relia in the hallway.
With more information than you expected to obtain, you say goodbye to the couple to go rest.
------------------------------------------------------------
Greta congratulate you for your good work on the repairs and informed you that due to the incident your request would have to wait, which you accept without complaint. After all, the conversation with Relia and Dorothea revealed more details than you imagined.
Although life in the village was hard, it never crossed your mind that someone would choose to live in the castle or donate their blood willingly. The rumors were terrifying, coupled with the fact that the women who went to work at the castle rarely returned, and if they did, they were scarred or with fewer body parts. It was hard to believe that someone would choose to live with monsters instead of returning home.
Monsters. Were the Dimitrescu really monsters?
You had witnessed firsthand that they were capable of feeling and acting like any other human.
So, what made the Dimitrescu monsters?
Were they monsters because of their violence?
The most common punishment you've seen inflicted on your fellow girls is being whipped on the hands, ankles, or back after breaking something while cleaning or when something went missing in the rooms they cleaned. But that was done in the village too, parents disciplining troublesome children or thieves being punished.
You'd been lucky enough not to witness any deaths, but you hadn't been spared the cleanup that followed, blood and sometimes bits of flesh left on the floor and walls, which needed to be cleaned up quickly before it dried and soaked into the carpet and wallpaper.
Were they monsters for their indifference to suffering and death?
While in the village the Lycans were the number one killers, sometimes fights between the inhabitants reached a point where blood was spilled in such quantity that death from wounds was to be expected, drunks and gamblers were the most hated in the village if they found their death at the hands of the collectors or in a fight people turned their faces away, giving condolences out of obligation to the family and continued with their lives living with the murderer among them. There were men who had killed their wives or children after having beaten them savagely, some were hated but tolerated and others were welcomed with open arms; there were also cases of healthy men who died from a sudden illness (Poison) despite the care (Different poison) of their wives.
Cruelty and violence existed both in the village and in the castle.
Were they monsters because of their diet?
One of your neighbors couldn't drink milk without suffering from stomach pain for days, a child died from eating a nut that made his throat swell, the tailor couldn't eat chicken because it gave her rashes, there were several people who couldn't have a normal diet and had to adapt.
Is it the same for the Dimitrescu?
Was human flesh and blood the only thing they could consume?
Their body was not the same as a human's, it was to be expected that their diet won’t be the same.
Were they monsters because they were cannibals?
One of the elders had told you that decades ago the harvests were horrible and the winter atrocious, the food shortage was such that many had no other option than to eat the flesh of their neighbors to survive. Grandparents letting themselves die so that their children and grandchildren could eat, teenagers tearfully devouring the organs of their siblings who couldn't bear the cold, man eating man.
And this act was considered necessary.
Wasn't it necessary for them too?
Were they monsters because of their different anatomy?
That won’t make you a monster too?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks had passed since the incident and thanks to it you had forged a friendship not only with Relia and her team, but also with Dorothea and her kitchen staff; it was great to have someone to talk to; while you were fond of Daniela you didn't forget that she was from a different world than yours there were things she couldn't understand not out of malice but out of simple ignorance.
Since her confession you haven't spoken to her due to the staff rotation that caused the "dismissal" of the maids involved in the explosion.
You still had no idea where they got the dynamite from.
Greta's voice calling you took you out of your thoughts.
"Greta, what do you ne-" The older girl grabbed you by the shoulders with a frantic look.
Deja vu.
"You know how to read, write and basic math, right?" You nodded with slight fear to which she sighed in relief. “Come with me.”
“I haven't finished cleaning yet.”
“I’ll send someone, this is more important, hurry up.”
You left your bucket and rag to follow her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
You had seen Jenica a few times in the hallway, the woman always walked in a hurry with papers and folders in her hand. Like Greta, she was always busy and had a professional demeanor.
“January, quadrant E, row three, produced a quantity of…”
Compared to that image, the woman in front of you looked like she was one step away from jumping off the roof.
The desk, the coffee table, the chairs, the couch and even the bed were full of papers, folders and books; in the middle of everything was Jenica reading a book while frantically writing in a notebook.
You turned to look at Greta for answers that she was quick to give you.
“Someone broke into her office today to start a fire, thanks to Zina passing by at a good time the fire was quickly extinguished, the filing cabinet protected the documents however some of this year’s files were outside for review, some just need to be transcribed but most have to be recalculated and as you can see…” Greta pointed at the poor woman who acted more like a crazy old woman mumbling in the street than a scholar. “It’s a lot of work for Jenica, Lady Dimitrescu is in a meeting with the Lords and Lady Bela is reviewing the other documents to see if anything is missing”
First an explosion now a fire, what was going on?
“Do you think you can help her?” The head maid took one of the papers placed on the table to hand it to you, the letters were barely visible, but you could understand it.
“Yes, I worked as an accountant at my mother’s bakery and at the town bar, this is pretty similar.” Despite the bad reputation that alcohol and consequently the bar had, Darius was a smart and honorable man when his poor eyesight worsened her hired you to take care of the bar’s accounts and teach his son Leonard how to do it, who luckily for you was just like his father.
Upon hearing your answer Greta nodded before touching Jenica’s shoulder who let out a surprised squeal.
“Don’t do that, you’re going to give me a heart attack!”
“What will give me a heart attack is the aberrant amount of coffee you drink, I brought someone to help you.”
Jenica turned to look at you and to demonstrate your skill you read what the paper in your hand said. In a moment the woman stood up, removed a stack of books from the sofa and moved another from the table.
“Perfect!” She said as she pushed you towards the empty seat and then placed a notebook and pencil in your hands, she took a huge book from her desk and placed it in front of you “Take care of transcribing this, when you finish, pass it to me to redo the calculations for the report”
“Wouldn’t it be faster if I did it?” The maniacal smile she put on told you that you should have kept quiet.
Jenica took a stack of papers and put them on the floor next to you.
“Don’t worry if you make a mistake, we have plenty of paper”
Sometimes it’s better to be ignorant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenica had only given you ten minutes to go eat in the kitchen and to go to the bathroom.
Two hours had passed since the clock struck its twelfth bell and one since Jenica left to deliver the documents they had managed to finish to Lady Bela.
Without her permission to leave you had no choice but to wait for her to return, the room was still full of paper, there was still a lot to do, but your brain couldn't handle it anymore, no matter how many times you read the book the letters floated without meaning.
Concentrated and tired you didn't notice the door open until a familiar voice echoed in the room.
"What do we have here?"
The adrenaline woke you up enough to realize two things:
1. Lady Dimitrescu had returned from her meeting.
2. Jenica's room was off limits.
"It seems that a little mouse is snooping around where it shouldn't."
"Lady Dimitrescu I j-just-
The distinctive sound of her claws being unsheathed caused you to choke on your words, your tongue weighed like lead in your mouth and cold sweat ran down your palms.
A thought repeated itself to the rhythm of your accelerated heartbeat.
*I'm sorry mom, I love you*

She’s never been happier. Takes Her Tea: Kemun tea, oversteeped with condensed milk
Name: Mistress Aspyce Occupation: Small business owner / dominatrix Orientation: Equal parts heterosexual and in denial Bio: Previously the puppygirl of a failed leather household, Aspyce has seen so many ways wielding power has caused the people around her to self-destruct. When her leather family collapsed, Aspyce decided she would do better if she was ever the one in charge. Today, Mistress Aspyce runs both her own business and a small rubberist household. Takes Her Tea: Irish breakfast tea, steeped for precisely 2 minutes, 45 seconds, served black or with fresh sissy cum if available.
Name: Nonsense Occupation: 🐶 Orientation: Neutered, but still humping Bio: Nonsense is a dog. He does dog things. He enjoys running around, chewing, sniffing, and sleeping in Crystal’s bed.

He's has more than enough energy already.
Name: Chie Occupation: Petgirl and newlywed wife of Master N / Mistress Aspyce’s “sister” Likes: Previously the kittygirl of a failed leather household, Chie learned that being in charge is a mug’s game. It’s far better to have the freedom of being a pampered pet than have to worry about gross things like employment and bills. She's currently living with her master thousands of miles away, but she still manages to be a frequent source of chaos in the Aspyce house. Takes Her Tea: Hot with one sugar, a splash of milk, and lychee syrup.

Gifted Drabble - NewAgeAU - Sorrow Night and Hopeful Morning
Okay. So. A little bit different :3
As some of you have probably noticed by my reblogs. @spotaus is making their own version for a younger Nightmare with adult gang. kinda inspired by RealAgeAU (clue the name) and well. There is no way i could NOT play with it. Just a tiny bit :3
So here we are. A tiny gift for my friend :3
*-----------------------------*
Ccino rubs his face as he leans against the wall. Thankful the day is finally over.
Calling it stressful would have been an understatement. It had been pure panic when Nightmare had just started throwing up goop in the middle of lunch only for more to melt away from him.
Ccino had been shocked to see someone he recognized at the end and had been frozen.
All in all, they had been very lucky that it had only been them and Nightmare's knights. Ccino does not want to know what kind of damage control he would have had to do if more people had seen it.
Horror had been the first to react. He had easily picked Nightmare up, or more easily as he had shrunk, and taken him to Nightmare's private study.
Ccino had quickly ordered some maids to clean the mess and leftover lunch. Stating there was an emergency that required the king's full attention.
Ccino had reached his study and gone inside to find Nightmare just staring at himself in silent shock. His knights all looked unsure what to do next and Ccino had quickly ordered them to stand watch outside.
He is still very thankful that Nightmare had named him leader of the house which meant that while in the castle Ccino called the shots after Nightmare.
In the end? Nightmare seemed fine. Even the cracks in his skull had been old and healed. Ccino still adviced the now young again king to take things easy and rest before he rushed out to make sure everything is still quiet.
It took a while and some more creative lies but people now just think Nightmare is preparing for an emergency mission adn that everyone is too leave him be.
Ccino sighs as he walks towars his own chambers, located in the nicer part of the castle. A reward for his loyalty and service which had been given to him long ago.
Ccino is ready to sleep. It is much later than he normally retires and tomorrow will be just as if not busier day.
He walks down a hallway when he notices some flickers of light under a door. huh. He follows the slight light and finds the source to be Nightmare's study. None of the knights outside it this time. probably on their usual rounds around the castle.
Ccino knocks twice and waits. silence from beyond the door.
Ccino frowns and leans close to the door to listen "My liege? Are you still in here?"
More silence before a quiet come in sounds from the room. Ccino steps inside and finds Nightmare behind the large desk. Many papers and scrolls covering it as he looks from one to the other.
Ccino frowns as he walks over. Nightmare glances at him before looking back at the covered desk "I thought you would be asleep by now?"
Ccino feels his teeth tug upwards towards a smile "And I thought the same about you... I thought i told you to rest?" he stops by his side and glances at the desk.
It is all old script on the old prophecy and legends concerning the apples. That disasterous ritual that must have ruined many lives.
Nightmare rubs his socket, he looks tired "I need to figure out what happened... what went wrong... Nothing. Nothing ever spoke about the apple taking the power given back. It never spoke about anything concerning it." he points at some script "It speaks about the apple given the ability to gain power. to gain more magic like its own. I thought that that was the tentacles and stuff. But they are gone and nothing speaks of it disappearing!" he puts his skull in his hands as he stares down.
Ccino can't help but just stare at his king. Actually seeing how small nightmare now looks behind the desk. in the chair made for a king who had been given power by the ritual.
Ccino frowns as he sits on the arm rest and waits.
Nightmare glares at the text "It doesn't say... it doesn't tell me how to fix this... how do i fix this? how will people react to this?! my standing as king is already shakey. How will they react to their king now being a child?!"
Ccino remembers the screams of pure agony when Nightmare first ate the apple. How he had fallen to the ground as the magic started to reform him in front of everyone.
Ccino thinks he doesn't want nightmare to go through that again. but first "You are tired nightmare."
Ngihtmare shakes his skull "I just need to figure this out and... and find a way to... to turn it back again."
Ccino nods "or. you go to bed." he stops himself from rubbing the much smaller skull. a thing he used to do when he babysat Nightmare when he had still been younger before the apple. "Sometimes things look worse at night than they really are." Nightmare glares at him and Ccino grins "I mean it. It is because we get tired and our mind grows tired. We aren't able to think rationally anymore and react more from our emotions. You need to get some sleep and you can try thinking about it again in the morning."
Ngihtmare frowns but sighs as he nods. Ccino helps him clean his desk a little before walking him back to his room.
Finding Cross outside. standing alert and waiting. He spots them and gives the usual guard bow "My king." Cross gives Ccino a nod before he stands alert again.
Right. Ccino will need to figure out what to tell the knights. none of them know nightmare like this and Ccino is worried they may end up leaving or worse.
Nightmare disappears into his room and Ccino turns to leave towards his own.
"Are you sure it is him?"
Ccino stops and turns back to Cross. Cross is frowning at him.
Ccino nods "I am."
Cross frowns "How?"
Ccino rolls his eye lights "Because I know Nightmare. Something i thought you four would by now as well." and he leaves.
Ccino hopes that with the slight dig it will compele their competitive sides to stick around and figure out how Ccino knew. Get to know this version of nightmare and see he is still the same guy. just smaller and younger.
Ccino gets back to his room and sighs as he lays in his own soft bed. He ends up laying awake for a while as his mind worries about everything that could go wrong.
eventually he falls asleep. his sleep fitful.
--
His alarm goes off early, before the sun has risen even. Ccino groans and rubs his sockets. shit this is why he tries to go to bed on time and leave the last night cleanup to others.
He yawns as he gets ready and dressed for the day before making his way towards the kitchen.
The castle has two kitchens. one is for the preparations of the large meals. which includes parties and the meals for the servants. The other, much smaller kitchen, is for the more private meals.
Ccino gets there and gets out some cooled dough which he starts to knead and prepare. he makes thin sheets of butter and layers it carefully with thin layers of dough.
Ccino had quite a few priveledges but also duties. one is that he is one of the few who is allowed to prepare food for nightmare unsupervised. his knights are the other ones.
nightmare is still worried and afraid of a betrayal and ccino had worked hard to gain his trust and faith.
The layers are complete and Ccino looks through the fridge for some filling. he grabs some raspberries before he notices some chocolate. crap he will need to figure something out for Error as well. make sure they don't lose their royal mage over this slight change.
Ccino will make some special chocolate croissants later and bring those to him as he shares the news. butter him up wiht sweets and reassure him that nothing has to change about Error's job and position. the teen really likes chocolate so Ccino hopes that is enough.
He rolls the layered dough around the raspberries in nice little croissant shapes before putting them in the stone oven to bake. in the meantime he peels some pears and oranges with care before cutting them into nice pieces. he puts it on the plate and grabs some milk from the fridge and fills a glass. Nightmare will have to start drinking and eating things to help his growth and healing. just in case he needs to recover after losing the corruption.
the croissants are ready and ccino plates them, leaving a few to the side for himself to eat later, before making his way towards the chambers.
He quickly spots cross and nods in greeting. Cross however stops him and smiles "I will bring his breakfast inside. I am sure you are busy." and he glances to the side.
Ccino frowns at the guard. strange. the don't normally offer that. much prefering to let ccino deal with having to wake up nightmare for the day.
Ccino studies the guard and notices that cross looks a bit nervous for some reason.
Ccino makes sure to look unimpressed "I much prefer to make sure he eats a bit before i continue with my duties." and he waits.
Cross looks more nervous but sighs as he steps aside. clearly giving in.
Ccino frowns at him before he opens the door and quietly steps inside. his voice is barely above a whisper to start with "good morning my liege."
Then he sees it.
Killer is asleep in Nightmare's bed as he holds the other protectively. a book open by his side. Ngihtmare lays rolled up and is holding unto killer's shirt tightly.
Ccino shoots cross a look and cross looks highly embarressed "Night- I mean. our king was nervous and just wasn't falling asleep. I got worried and wasn't sure what to do so i called Killer because he was here the longest. Killer wnet inside and he and nightmare spoke softly before killer just laid down with him and grabbed a book to read with nightmare. They fell asleep aroudn the same time and i just dind't want to interrupt their sleep as night- our king looked like he needed it badly." Cross looks to the side and mutters "I know i should ahve called you but i knew killer was awake and i knew you would be asleep by that point so.... yeah."
huh.
Ccino walks over to the bed and places the tray with food down. he sits down carefully on the bed and ignores the threatening aura that killer puts on. killer no doubt woke up to someone getting near and is ready for a fight.
instead ccino very carefully nudges nightmare "nightmare?"
nightmare gives a sleepy mumble before shooting him the stink eye. heh. Nightmare never was a morning person.
Ccino grins "I am sorry my liege. Do you wish to remain asleep for a bit longer?"
ngihtmare consider it for a moment and yawns before answering "Yeah."
Ccino nods "Very well. I will make sure that you have no appointments today in that case. your breakfast is here for when you want." he gets up and waits for a moment to see Ngihtmare hum sleepily before going back to sleep. leaning heavily against one of his trusted knights.
Ccino looks up and nods to killer beofre going towards the door.
Cross is still looking down embarressed. Ccino shoots him an amused look after the door closed "You cna just tell me next time. I could have prepared his breakfast later." he crosses his own arms.
Cross frowns and looks to the side "it is just... we are guards and guards shouldn't be this close and it is disrespectful."
Ccino raises a brow "You aren't just guards. you are his knights. his personal knights. of course he is going to trust you four above anything else. It is your duty to be there for him and protect him. The fact he is now a teen and may rely more on your four for emotional support as well is something none of us expected." he sighs as he says the next sentence "something we will obviously need to discuss as well. see if you four are okay wiht it and extra duties that come with this change, however long they may last and-"
cross glares "we don't mind!" he cringes and glances at the door before making his voice quieter "we know things are different and well things will change but just because he is now younger doesn't mean we aren't loyal anymore."
Ccino stares at him before grinning "good. honestly. much better. I was already worried i would have to figure out if there was another position to put you four back in instead of personal knights. deknighting is very looked down upon and could hurt nightmare's reputation. but if you four are still up for this and will remain loyal? well, all the better."
Cross looks shocked before nodding and going back to standing guard
ccino gives him a look "Who is going to switch with you?"
Cross mutters but answers eventually "Dust should be here soon."
Ccino nods "good. make sure to rest before you try any training. you have been up all night and standing the whole time." he gives him another look before turning and wlaking away.
He has quite the list of tasks for today to work through. formost is making sure nightmare cna just rest today. At least the knight situation is mostly stable and already taken care of.
As ccino had told nightmare the night before. sometimes the things that were scary in the night turned out to be just fine in the morning.

Kitty (part 2)
Pairings: Rei x reader Buddy Daddies Check out part one here.
Kyu has come up blank on finding out your real name, but he does think he’s confirmed a possible date you were taken into ‘service’ - a polite way of saying they took you for payment of your father’s debts. The conclusion was drawn from some other intelligence he had in his possession. Turns out your abductor had been on the organization’s radar for a few years before he became the prime target of a hit, and on a USB stick from a previous reconnaissance job about one of his associates Kyu had found a photograph of you. You were stood behind the target as he sat at a table, laughing heartily with your abductor. You were in that stupid maid outfit, your face adorned with a split lip and a nasty-looking black eye. You couldn’t say you remembered that one in particular – there had been a fair few until you decided it was best to keep your mouth shut. He no longer had a reason to hit you in the face if you weren’t talking back, but the rest of your body was free game. The real kick in the stomach was that the date of the photograph was from over two years ago. Kyu had used that information to look at missing persons reports a year either side of the date, but had come up empty. He’d suggested to Kazuki that maybe you weren’t from the city, maybe you’d be based rurally and so it had just been your father and you. All you had at the back of your mind was that maybe no-one from your old life even missed you enough to ever mention it. No wonder you couldn’t remember any names of your supposed family, friends or acquaintances – even what you’d do before you were in the house. Maybe your life in service was better than the one where you were free.
You don’t know how to feel when you hear it has been over two years. Your concept of time is completely warped. How long exactly did you put up a fight for in the end? It’s a blur of screaming and beatings, and then silence, beatings and house chores. Maybe you didn’t fight long enough or hard enough. Time passed and when you realized he wasn’t going to kill you, despite all of the numerous threats to do so, you’d just accepted this was going to be your life now? Clean, serve, clean, wash, serve, clean and sleep in a closet, with his hands grabbing you throughout the day, always leaving a bruise. Rinse and repeat. Maybe you should’ve realized time passing though. For one, your hair had grown longer but you’d kept it braided, wrapping it around your crown to keep it out of the way. At one point you must’ve just not considered what another inch of hair to braid represented in the grand scheme of it all.
After your vow of silence had been broken yesterday to stop Miri dousing herself in hot water, you’d began trying to answer some questions with a couple of words throughout the day. Some might even constitute a full sentence. It still felt so very wrong but there was no backlash, only ever pure delight from Kazuki and Miri when you spoke and what appeared to be an encouraging nod from Rei.
“See, Miri, Rei,” Kazuki comments over dinner that evening, “Kitty eats her vegetables.” He’s been in a bit of a mood that he’s had to serve convenience store hamburg steak again at Miri’s insistence.
You look at your plate compared to theirs – Miri and Rei are devouring everything but their vegetables, whereas you’d focused on those more than anything else. It was all just so colourful and appetizing to you.
“Papa Kazuki, you should make Kitty’s favourite for dinner tomorrow!” Miri bounces up and down in her seat.
“That’s a good idea. What’s your favourite food?” All eyes are on you, waiting for an answer. You put down the chopsticks and take a drink of water – your mouth going dry as you try to think of a response. Favourite?
Thankfully, Rei relieves the heat. “Mine’s ramen.”
“Of course it is,” Kazuki rolls his eyes. “That instant stuff too.”
You’ve had time to think now. “S-s-scraps.”
“Scraps?” Kazuki raises an eyebrow, and then his face sinks in realisation. Rei’s stopped mid-bite and your heart skips a beat. No, no, you’ve phrased that wrong. That’s not the normal way to reply to someone asking you your favourite food, idiot. There was a better way to say that your sustenance had been whatever you’d salvaged off plates or rescued from the top of the bin on really desperate evenings when he dined alone and scraped his plate clean. You bite your lip trying to think of the word that sounded more polite and less depressing.
“S-sorry, no. I-I mean l-l-leftovers.” You pick up your chopsticks again and grasp the broccoli. Surely they can’t ask you more questions if your mouth is full.
“I wanna try leftovers!” Miri exclaims.
“Miri, you and Papa Rei never leave any leftovers… except veggies, so maybe we will have a completely vegetarian meal for a change tomorrow,” he threatens.
Miri wolfs down her vegetables with gusto, one that Rei and Kazuki hadn’t quite seen. “Nuh-uh,” she protests. “You’ll have to make new leftovers.”
You help Kazuki with the dishes after dinner – you like having a task to focus on. It helps your thoughts from spiraling. You’ve been stuck in your head waiting for the catch, because there had to be one. Would two assassins really just take pity on you and take you in, no other motive? You’ve just gone willingly along with them and yes, they’ve let you sleep in a bed and, sure, they feed you and they haven’t hurt you and they have an adorable little girl, but where do you fit into this, whatever this is?
They’re both on the sofa tonight after Miri is tucked up in bed. She insisted that you sit in while Rei read her a bedtime story. He read all the character voices in a deadpan voice, but Miri laughed through the whole thing. Kazuki wanted to watch some romance spy drama on the television – he gave you a very thorough recap before it started. Your brain didn’t absorb much of it, there’s two love triangles going on, and someone’s in a coma but also an evil twin? Rei is gaming on his phone, but he’s holding the device in such a way that you think he’s secretly into the drama as well but doesn’t want to show it. Kazuki is one end of the sofa and Rei the other, and you’re in the middle, feeling sandwiched despite the distance between you three. The drama comes to a close – if anyone were to ask you a single thing about it you wouldn’t have a clue - and Kazuki stretches, getting up from his position. Rei grabs for his games controller. You’re on your feet at the same time and at first you don’t realise you’ve done it – is it a habit, a reflex?
“You good?” The blonde asks, not sure what to make of your movements.
“I-I-I-I…” You trail off, swallowing hard. Cut out the middle. “Q-q-question.”
“You have a question?” Rei translates and you nod.
“Yeah, of course!” Kazuki sits back down, clasping his hands in his lap and looking at you expectantly. You look at your feet - maybe it’ll be easier talking to the floor.
“W-w-what’s to h-happen with m-me n-now?”
“Happen to you?” The blonde repeats.
“Nothing, Kitty.” Rei says, in a matter-of-fact tone. “You’re safe.”
“Yeah! We just wanna help you in whatever way we can. You got dealt a real shitty hand, I won’t lie. And, I mean, we probably should’ve said before that if you want us to drop you off at the police station or a shelter or something…”
“No.” You manage that word firmly, but Kazuki keeps going. “..we can, but we’d obviously need you to promise you wouldn’t give names or tell them what you saw about us…”
“Dude, she said no.” Rei cuts over him.
“Sorry, sorry,” Kazuki raises his hands. “You’re welcome to stay here as long as you like and anything we can do, we will. Right, Rei?”
The dark-haired man nods.
“We know we’re not your typical family but maybe that’s not such a bad thing, and you’d be very welcome to join us if that’s what you desire.” The blonde is back on his feet but looks on the verge of tears.
“Dial it back, Kazuki.”
“Oh,” he rubs the back of his head awkwardly. “I swear Miri’s made me soft.”
“-er.”
“Huh?”
“Soft-er.” Rei clarifies. “We heard you weep when Kitty said good morning.”
“It’s just so nice to see your confidence begin to return…” Kazuki’s eyes are brimming and Rei has a flashback to when he’d offered to make rice balls for the sports day and knows it’s time to intervene. “To think a few days ago you were so terrified to utter a word and… Hey!”
Rei is now dragging the blonde man towards the stairs. “Don’t you have to be up early?”
“Yeah, you’re right… Night, Kitty!”
“G-g-goodnight.” This has turned into much more of a scene than you wanted. Rei slopes back to the sofa now Kazuki is safely on the upper floor and picks up the controller.
“Sorry if he made you feel uncomfortable.”
“Ka-ka-kazu…” You swallow, giving up on the third syllable. “He’s n-nice.”
“Hm.” Rei begins to set up a game. “Want to play?”
You’re tired, in all honesty. All this conversation was draining. “C-can I g-go to bed, p-p-please?”
He looks at you – is it possible he’s frowning even more than usual? “You don’t need to ask permission, Kitty.” You know he’s said it before, as well as Kazuki, but you can’t shake the doubt that there’s going to be one thing that trips you up if you don’t ask. “You can do what you want when you want.”
“B-but it’s your r-r-room.” He’s only been in there when you were downstairs, grabbing a fresh pair of clothes in the morning, but it feels weird to be in what should be his intimate space at night. You’d considered previously if he wasn’t already using the tub that’s where you might’ve resorted to.
“Call it ours.” He turns his attention to the TV. “Sleep well.”
“Night, Rei.” It’s only when you make it up the stairs you realize you made it through those two words without hesitation.
--
Day four - or was it five? You probably shouldn’t keep count - started much as the same as the other days. Kazuki was up early with Miri, serving breakfast. Rei emerged from the tub due to all the racket and whilst Kazuki and Miri headed off to daycare, you had a bath, washing your hair and retreating to Rei’s – no, our? - bedroom to dry it before braiding it as usual, and joined him back downstairs ahead of Kazuki’s return.
“Kitty?” Rei’s voice cuts across your thoughts. You’re both on the couch, he’s paused his game and is looking at you. Kazuki is back, bustling around in the kitchen and you’re not quite sure where your head’s been at. You’re cuddling your knees. You can tell Rei must’ve asked you something and you’ve blanked him as his game is now paused and his attention is focused solely on you.
“S-s-sorry, w-what did you s-say?” You wondered how long it would be until you didn’t feel like you were gonna throw up every time you started a sentence, especially if your stomach was full after one of Kazuki’s – admittedly delicious - meals.
“Do you know your shoe size?”
You looked at your feet. Kazuki had given you a fun pack of socks with cute patterns on them so you could get rid of those stupid thigh highs. That had opened up a new can of worms though - Miri gasping at the healing bruises on your legs that the socks had covered when you were in shorts. Her eyes were wide and tearful as she had asked you what had happened. Kazuki and Rei had looked mildly panicked as to what you were going to say.
“I’m… I’m c-c-clumsy, Miri. I f-fell o-over. Silly.”
“Like me!” She beamed.
“No, Miri, you’re just reckless,” Kazuki rolled his eyes.
Back to the present, you shook your head and the idea of time passing swirled around your head again - it’d been over two years since you’d thought about shoes. “N-no. Sorry.”
“No need to be sorry,” Rei replied.
“Rei’s right.” Kazuki brushed his hands down on his apron. “Well, only one thing for it - to the 398 yen store! We can get you some new clothes too, something you like rather than just Rei’s picks.”
You had, apparently, been working your work through Rei’s wardrobe. Rei told you to take whatever you wanted to wear from his t-shirt drawer but that felt wrong. He’d now taken to getting a t-shirt out for you when he dressed, leaving it on top of the dresser. Kazuki had dug out a pair of black tracksuit bottoms with drawstrings. They’d been too long on the leg but the cuffed bottoms meant you could hoist them up a bit. Today, you were in those, a plain white t-shirt and the black hoodie they’d given you the first day. You’d put on socks that were bright white and had orange slices all over them – they’d made you smile.
“Y-you shouldn’t s-spend your m-m-money on me.” They’d done so much for you already, their clothes were fine. More than fine.
“It’s the household’s money and you’re part of that,” the blonde replied, holding his finger in the air as he so often did when it came to money matters. “I’m sure I’ve got some of those ‘one size fits all’ slippers in the back of my closet. They should do to get us there…” He dashed up the spiral staircase.
“You’ll like the 398 yen store, it has everything.” The game’s unpaused and his fingers fly over the controller buttons.
“A-are you c-coming?”
“Of course. I’d go everyday if Kazuki would let me.”
--
The 398 yen store is overwhelming. Rei wasn’t lying when he said it had everything. They headed straight towards the shoes, Kazuki finding a device that measured your feet and he said the number aloud, a number that you felt your brain should’ve recognized – “Oh, of course I’m that size,” but nothing clicked. Next, it was off to a literal wall of shoes, surrounded by buckets of shoes. Kazuki encouraged you to choose whatever you wanted. It felt a daunting task, there were so many styles and colours – laces, zips, slip-ons. At least the price point was the same for them all…
You possibly stared a bit too long before Rei appeared at your side, pressing a pair of black and white sneakers into your hands. “These look comfy - for walking.”
You nodded and tried them on – they felt odd, but that was probably just because you hadn’t worn shoes in so long more than anything.
After the shoes came the clothes and, you realized, undergarments of all things. You’d slipped those in the cart without much of a fanfare, thankfully, letting them run riot on other items for you. You didn’t really have a style so the cart is a mix with dark and bright colours, representing both their styles and perhaps you’ll find something inbetween.
When you get back to the apartment, Kazuki starts to pull the tags off everything whilst Rei mutters something about the bedroom, ties his hair back upon his head and darts upstairs. Kazuki stares as he does so. “Okay…”
A short while later, Rei emerges and strides down the stairs, releasing his hair and heads to the door to get his shoes on – the two of them had promised to pick up Miri from daycare together this afternoon.
“About time.” Kazuki puts his hands on his hips. “We gotta go. What were you doing up there?” Rei having his hair up only ever meant serious business in his eyes.
“Kitty needs space for her things, so I cleared out a couple of drawers.”
“Y-y-you didn’t h-have to do t-that for me.” But you couldn’t help the smile that crept on your face. Something about having a space that was entirely yours seemed exciting in that moment.
“It’s fine.” There’s a hint of red on his cheeks. “Let’s go.” He pulls on the door handle and leaves without another glance.
“Back soon, Kitty!” Kazuki calls cheerily and follows his partner, leaving you in the silence of the apartment. He catches up with Rei at the lift, his hands in his pockets.
“What was that, Rei?” He’s elbowing him in the side, raising his eyebrows, being an absolute clown. “Clearing drawer space, huh?”
“It’s nothing.” He shrugs. “It was overdue.” But it can’t be nothing, because seeing you smile made his stomach flip in a way he’s not felt before.
---
Anyone for a part three?
Part 3.

✨Spotlight on Localhost HQ✨
Today we're here to tell you all about Localhost HQ, the first setting for the adventures of our protagonist (and fujoshi extraordinaire) Boba-tan.
Follow us under the cut to learn more about the #FujoGuide world and the amazing people that made it happen! And don't forget to back us on Kickstarter (and share this with your friends) so we can make this world a reality!
🏰 Localhost HQ 🏰
So, what is Localhost HQ? Well, we don't have—nor want!—all the details. The vaguer it is, the easier it adapts to any fanfic scenario. On the technical side, computers in a network use "localhost" to refer to themselves, for example to fetch a website they themselves host!
In the #FujoGuide world, Localhost HQ houses all programs that run on a user's own machine as part of the development workflow. Most importantly, the Terminal (a.k.a. Shell), but also programs like Git. In our version, Boba-tan has her very own (relatable) room within it.
🏰 Localhost Character 1: Boba-tan 🏰
Needing no introduction (ok, some introduction), Boba-tan is the author and protagonist of our zine. She was originally designed to serve as @bobaboard's own mascot by @essential-randomness, and brought to life by @ymske.
In our Kickstarter, you can see her all over the place, drawn by many different artists (some of which don't like the spotlight). For our character roster and avatar, she's been brought to life by @ikam177! Witness her in her full glory!
Want to know more about her? Well, she's the blankest slate of them all! Boba-tan is the quintessential fujoshi (or fujin, if you want), meant to embody the best quirks of transformative fandom folks: openness, enthusiasm, creativity, and heaps and heaps of thirst!
🏰 Localhost Character 2: Terminal 🏰
Is it Terminal or is it Shell? You too can now be part of one of programming's most pointless (and thus heated) debates.
Regardless of how you choose to refer to him, we all know who he actually is: the sexy live-in maid-pa of Localhost HQ.
Terminal is a powerful tool in the programming world, used to run other programs and orchestrate complex interactions between them. He also runs the show in the #FujoGuide world, and is able to quickly summon any local program, and to interact directly with the operating system.
(comic by @tempural)
Is there any limit to Terminal's powers? We don't know, actually, and we don’t want to know! Please play around with hi— I mean, it!
If you love his look (a powerful mix of Danny Trejo and Revolver Ocelot), you can thank—and follow—@mappapapa's incredible work! And if you've wondered what's on his apron...well, that's cowsay for you!
(Shhh don’t tell anyone about this still-unused version, with a terminal-looking eyepatch on his eye)
🏰Localhost Character 3: Git🏰
We've already spent a lot of time on our favorite catboy, but that's no reason to ignore him—not that he'd ever let us!
If you haven't yet, see him in action and learn all about him in our demo (link in the Kickstarter).
This time, the hard work of turning our technical and trope guidance into a bona-fide hottie comes from @brokemycrown—the master of sexiness who also helped us with the overall art direction!
(If you're wondering what the lines on his hoodie are, those are “git branches”.)
🏰 Localhost Character 4: GitHub 🏰
☁️ Cloud character 1: GitHub ☁️
Unlike Git, GitHub is not a program that runs in a "local environment"—that is, a developer's own computer. Instead, GitHub is a cloud-based service where programmers can upload their own "Git repositories" to share their code with other developers.
In the #FujoGuide world, characters like Git live in ~the cloud~, a network of data spawning around the world and a place we want to carefully avoid showing. In part, to keep an aura of mystery, and in part because mysterious places not well-defined in canon are fujin catnip.
So why is GitHub at Localhost HQ? Because Git is there, of course! The two share a powerful psychic connection. While Git hasn't yet accepted that they're meant to become one, that is not for lack of trying. Much to Terminal's chagrin, GitHub keeps teleporting to HQ, uninvited.
Once again, the amazing artist behind our favorite tentacled catboy is @brokemycrown. We'll probably keep shouting them out over and over again in these spotlights, so just go right ahead and follow them now.
(I'm sure you can appreciate the subtle character design cues here.)
...and that is all for the Localhost HQ spotlight! If you like the amazing work of our team, you can hire our artists and writers (and help us launch this project) by backing our Git Art/Fic tiers! You can also help us by reblogging this post and sharing our kickstarter link with friends, family, colleagues and Discord servers.

sept+ oct media roundup
hi again :3 this month in september i was really busy with school so busy that i didnt make a media post for a whole month!!!! lol and also ive been getting back into FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER grind lmfaooo so i wasnt really on that #mediagrind as much as i could be… but i still have some things to talk about :3 by sakshis (@.lilquill) suggestion, im also talking a bit about the music ive been listening to! this is also being crossposted onto my extremely barebones neocities
books/comics:
paladins strength by t kingfisher: m/m romance about a coroner and another former paladin! still psrt of the saint of steel series. i thought it was, once again really charming and grounded! also it involves a death room and i love those. the authors idea of 'these two characters are hiding something from each other' feels a little bit more contrived this time on pipers end, but i still had fun :3
home comforts: the art and science of keeping house by cheryl mendelson: nonfiction instructional manual on how to do various homemaking activities: cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. ok ngl i got this book bc a book i was reading about 27/7 service..? was like "if you have never cared about housekeeping before this ones pretty useful." bc of various life and medical issues, the house i grew up in never really cared much about this kind of thing, except for cooking and self sufficiency. home comfort was written by a full time lawyer who was raised w the idea that she would grow up to be a stay at home wife, which i think is pretty interesting! it manages not to fall into tradwife ideas (imo?) by reframing these tasks as like.. a cyclical, rhythmic kind of self care that serve to make your home feel more safe and cozy. kind of like the marie kondo idea that folding all your clothes by hand puts like intent into your them; not practical for everybody, but sometimes a nice idea! also has a bunch of practical stuff, much of which is not particularly useful if you live in a college dorm. this book made me make my bed more often lol. i wish it had an updated section about tech (especially cord management)
the maid by nita prose (dnf): thriller about a (strongly autistic coded) maid who gets caught up in a murder at her hotel. i dont know i feel like i could have powered through this, but the way that the maids autism, and the way she interprets situations vs how the audience interprets situations is either played for pathos or laughs (its sometimes hard to tell which) rubbed me the wrong way. her life just… sucks? so bad? i feel like other people reading it may find some validating representation, and the voice is certainly interesting and brisk.
lolita by nabokov: doesnt really need much of an introduction. not going to lie, i read this bc i like nabokov but also to silently feel superior to all of the discourse girlies on tumblr. i did enjoy it though! in a way, at least? it's definitely a novel that can only be taken in small bites. i feel like a lot of the wordplay went over my head, and i'm not sure how much of that is due to me not knowing french and how much of it is due to the english language evolving so much after publication (and how much of it is just my own lack of knowledge. close reading is not really one of my strongest suits) . i was relieved to find that people call it funny, because it honestly was at some points. its really interesting when people can balance revulsion and humor and sick fascination, but that ratio is a pretty personal thing
she who became the sun by shelley parker chan: a retelling of the rebellion against the yuan dynasty, except the future ming emperor is a woman instead; part 1 of a duology. i really liked it! i liked the idea of like ummm sort of the two genders being Agency and No Agency. i thought baoxiang was pretty great love a fruity queerbaiting bureaucrat. thought it was pretty interesting that he continually tried to assert the importance of his own work and also worked really hard despite the fact that approval was obvioiusly never going to happen--so was it really that kind of futile endeavor, or for other ends….?! ooh so mystrious very excited to see him feature more in the second book. (spoilers for the book) some scenes that especially stood out were actually with some of the side characters! such as the mayors wife :3 the climactic scene with ouyang and esen was very delicious
he who drowned the world by shelley parker chan: sequel to she who became the sun! zhu yuanzhang has clawed her way up to her very own army and the yuans power has been destabilized, but everyone else is still racing for the crown. dude. i liked this book so freaking much. sooooo freaking cool it expands on a lot of the ideas and i also liked the development of the yingzi/yuanzhang relationship. additionally it managed to display the kind of like. trans horniness that (DISCLAIMER: I DONT FUCK) i dont really see in a lot of published books.. pretty cool! reminded me of when i went to a burlesque show and saw a woman (medical horror cwwww?) stick a needle through her hand lol. fantastically well balanced cast. do you think about the EROTICISM OF VIOLENCE? and GENDER ROLES? please read this book it made me so stressed. i really believe that at the end of the book baoxiang becomes a stay at home prisoner war
an unkindness of ghosts by rivers solomon: scifi about "exploring the conjunction between structural racism and generation ships" where medic aster uncovers a grand conspiracy! i thought the world building was reallyyy fun ship that has Been Voyaging Forever is an old and good trope, and this book goes hey but class and race will still exist though. to the point of like um recreating plantation dynamics i think? very anti utopian in a way i enjoyed. the mix of advanced scifi stuff and also having no resources was interesting :3 i liked giselle and theo a lot, and pretty much all the supporting (+sympathetic) characters besides aster? who took a lot longer for me to warm up to--shes definitely given a lot of nuance and life, but i think overly literal autistic/coded characters are a bit cringe..? im sure it meant a lot to someone (esp having a black autistic char?) just not me personally. oh but i really enjoyed the difference in voice between all the povs they were really distinct and fun. also aster and giselles rship! i think it would have been nice to have more intense moments, but thats also a personal preference for dramatics kind of thing--a lot gets glossed over in a 'past trauma' kind of way.. neil is right that i mostly have been reading books that blast you though lol. i really liked the scene at the end though like wow.. returning to the earth.. that was really good honestly. the stuff about archives and memory keeping was interesting --there was definitely like a thread through but i wouldn't have caught it w/out leo mentioning it. something about multiple interpretations..? something about history being passed from person to person rather than through physical means….?? its a strong debut i think :3 felt kinda movielike in an interesting way. rlly wish theyd went into The Gender more although i guess it mostly wasnt about that yeah and i wish the ending had more to do w like. her doctor stuff lmfao it was a little disconnected
video games:
13 sentinels: 13 teens intertwined stories come together in a story about love, mechs, and every scifi trope in the universe. also, the past and the future! the background art is sooo gorgeous i think my usual attention span for visual novels was increased significantly just by being able to walk around while dialogue was playing… if you have a low tolerance for heterosexual "pair the spares" type behavior, this may not be for you--i really liked some of the romances though, like with fuyusaka and sekigahara.. i liked the themes of like. idk you can try to relive the past, but all itll do is stall you from moving forward--we can examine past mistakes but we cant ever get a 'redo.' alsooo people were haters about the battle segments but i played it all on hard and really enjoyed it. tbh anyways would recommend!
boyfriend dungeon: dungeon crawler where you can date your weapons. well i 100%d this (except for the whip) but for all of the gameplay bits i was mostly thinking "man i wish i was playing hades". probably not a fair comparison, but it does lack some polish in that department, and overall. all the same, i enjoyed this game! it has a nice soundtrack and art, and i thought some of the love interests were pretty charming :3 also appreciated the flexibility in love routes. it really got a bad rap from the stalker plot huh…pretty solid game and worth playing if the initial concept grabs you. i did borrow neils copy though
hades: after beating bf dungeon i immediately redownloaded hades lmfao. sooo good theres not a lot to say about it. still havent managed to beat the final boss even after all this time bc im too stubborn to turn on godmode >:T
dave the diver: casual sort of dungeon crawler, except instead of killling monsters you catch fish for your sushi restaurant, which you also run. dave the diver stacks on a bunch of mechanics in a way thats… surprisingly manageable? and really charming honestly. im having a lot of fun with it :3 a few awkward boss fights that werent really that fun (and stealth segments..my enemy) havent gotten in the way of like all the rest of it i loooove exploring the ocean and finding new ways to get fish and all of the gorgeous pixel art and also the FALL GUYS GUY is doing the OST. this game is blowing up a little bit rn but honestly for good reason. such a good gameplay loop that also adds in variety over time
manga:
hirayasumi: slice of life about a part-timer working in tokyo who inherits an old womans house--its all about slowing down and enjoying the pace of life--and also how hard that actually is. dude hirayasumi is sooo fucking good im always trying to get people to read this manga i think its adorable and also beautiful and bittersweet. its about growing out of your 20s and the friends around you who are moving up or moving on or even just stuck in place. super awesome
ao no flag: romance coming of age w lgbt themes. a timid high school girl is trying to work up the courage to confess to her crush, and enlists the help of her crush's childhood friend to do it. the mixed-up shenanigans of adolescence ensue. man you know i really love the art for this manga (faces and expressions! so good!) and i think all the characters are really compelling! the trio just have such a cute dynamic and like all of the waffling over feelings honestly feels real. the ending was really disappointing though honestly. still worth a read imo but prepare to be mad. ok here is my longer rant about it (spoilers) ughhh ok its like. initially i thought masumi getting a boyfriend was SO fucking disappointing. especially given that she kinda got the least focus out of the main 4? some reddit comments were like "maybe her boyfriend is trans" but i think that something like that would be……….really complicated honestly? and something that id really want to have explored more outside of just a singular epilogue chapter? and i dont think the implications were that strong there. and given that it would have been good to see more indications that they were actually happy together bc its like the first thing you think when you see her is "oh, she gave up" WHICH IS SO FUCKING DEPRESSING AUGH and she never even confessed to futaba :| futaba and taichi breaking up makes a lot of sense and im like, whatever not really going to object to that esp bc the whole theme is like youthful love. but then on the SAME SIDE OF THE COIN its like it makes no sense for taichi and touma to get together either then!!!!!!!!!!!!! like what a copout. it kinda breaks the whole original premise. AND it feels like its just (whats that word thats like playing to? favoring?) fujos reading the comic and all those ppl are like the girl should DIE for getting in the way of my two gayboys. and aslo the convo with kensuke and the other girls and especially that other guy really felt like i was reading a reddit thread. or like some of the most frustrating conversations that ive had and overheard. like hmm i sort of get what it was trying to say. and i agree that peoples frustration and idea of whats 'right' usually isnt the best rhetoric.. and above all sometimes youre not focusing on your ideas of correctness Or proper rhetoric but having an honest and open communication? but its likeeee well i kinda dont care? sorry
nana: coming of ageish? nana, a flighty girl who's quick to fall in love, and nana, a tough rocker trying to make it big in the city, coincidentally become roommates, and become fast friends despite their disparate lives/personalities. this one is one of the classics! i still havent finished it yet (its also unfinished) but idk i really like it. always fond of flop women like hachi lmfao. the older art style did take a bit to get used to for me
i want to hold aono kun so bad i could die: horror manga about a high school girl who gets her first boyfriend--who then dies only a couple days afterwards. yuki kariya is willing to do anything to make sure aono stays with her, even letting her possess her body. but should the dead and the living really be so closely intertwined? ok the art in the first couple volumes may be a little offputting but this is REALLY good ok. and it has some really chilling panels that i love a lot. aono kun begins with the pretty classic "awkward loner girl x popular boy", but it quickly starts getting into ideas about like…. purity and "the filthiness of desire" and stuff like that. recently has been getting more into why the characters are the way they are? in some uh, really chilling and realistic depictions of abuse within a family. check the cws but mr chainsaw man recommended this manga so you should read it too.
movies/tv:
skibidi toilet: humor/action webseries?? ok so its about this war between the skibidis and the cameraheads, which escalates in technology over time as the cameraheads bring in other objecthead allies and the skibidis grow stronger. me and neil and alena watched all compiled 40 minutes of this in a straight shot, which was kind of like frying our brains in a microwave. kind of like those stickfight videos for a cocomelon generation, the relentless pacing will suck you in kinda like…. a skibidi toilet…. really well made imo but probably only worth watching if you really like cool fights and/or gmod
the shining: prestige? slash? horror a father and his family take care of a hotel only to find out things are FUCKED.. i really didnt know what this was about besides the here's johnny scene before i watched it :3 pretty crazy it really just is a good movie. sucks that the filming was so terrible though
fight club: ok so to me this movie is about colelctive action and gay people. like they had so many people mobilized for radical action and whatever and all they did was blow up a bank. LAME! anyways i really liked it a lot despite the everything. ive been entering my film bro era with neil i hope we watch pulp fiction next <3
music:
this is a couple albums ive been listening to over the past couple months!
THE CLOD(瓦合) by no party for cao dong: taiwanese post rock. im a big fan of this band so i listened to a bunch of the album tracks as they released!! like the first album, each track flows together into a coherent whole, and it retains the upbeat despondency from the servile. however, it feels like theyve also been more willing to branch out musically! especially with tracks like damn and daydream. overall, the album has a grittier, grungier feeling as well. also i know more chinese so i can sing along a bit now :3 (also, their lyric translations are always so good?) a few highlight tracks for me are lie (床) and the human the hole and the mountain. (人洞山).
CRAWLER by idles: british "crankwave", whatever that means. idles is also a band that i really like :3 sometimes i try and listen to other things in its genre and im like well…. this isnt idles though… sorry.. i like things that are the same forever…. i listen to this music a lot when im cleaning haha. it has such a feeling of overwhelm and tearing through rock bottom thats very satisfying! crawling hurts but it works for me and so on. with crawler and the clod both, every time i listen i have a couple favorite new tracks but rn i like the end and progress.
UMURANGI GENERATION OST primarily by adolf nomura: jungle music for a photography-based game (umurangi means "red sky" in te reo). i mostly end up listening to the tutorial + mauao view tracks. well….. i have a huge jungle music bias. unfortunately. but i think a lot of this music really captures the sort of "flow" feeling that you get when working on something creative! this game has an incredible sense of atmosphere i would really recommend checking it out. highlight tracks are swears in ps1 and BEAT THE POLICE
SCALES by king isis: indie pop. i saw them perform live at a concert this august!! so freaking cool :3 to me has all of the self indulgent sadness and rich vocals of an early mitski track but ALSO is an ''indie gem''' (this is their debut album). songs are fun to sing along to :3 my favorite songs from her are 4 leaf clover and im fine thx for asking! but apparently their new mv has sexy vampires in it so maybe go check it out?
as always if you read (or skimmed) to the end, thanks :3

The Inhabitants of Mistress Aspyce’s Household
Name: Crystal Occupation: Full-time rubberdoll / sissy maid Orientation: Flexible Bio: Crystal retired early from her to career to a life of being Mistress Aspyce’s full time rubber sissy. Her “retirement” has kept her busier than a 9-5 job ever did, thanks to her duties keeping Mistress’s house clean, being a rubber bondage toy, and servicing Mistress’s guests at parties. She’s never been happier. Streaming Guilty Pleasure: "'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess". It's the chillest show about being kept in a torture dungeon ever.
Name: Mistress Aspyce Occupation: Small business owner / Amateur dominatrix Orientation: Equal parts heterosexual and in denial Bio: Previously the puppygirl of a failed leather household, Aspyce has seen so many ways wielding power has caused the people around her to self-destruct. When her leather family collapsed, Aspyce decided she would do better if she was ever the one in charge. Today, Mistress Aspyce runs both her own business and a small rubberist household. Streaming Guilty Pleasure: Classic Disney "Silly Symphonies", like "The Cookie Carnival" and "The China Shop". They're so simple, yet endlessly creative!
Name: Nonsense Occupation: 🐶 Orientation: Neutered, but still humping Bio: Nonsense is a dog. He does dog things. He enjoys running around, chewing, sniffing, and sleeping in Crystal’s bed. Having lived his entire life in a house full of rubberdolls, guests with sissy slaves, and a hidden bondage dungeon, he's gotten very chill about all the fetish stuff around him. Streaming Guilty Pleasure: "101 Dalmatians". There is a bad woman who wants to hurt puppies, but the good dogs save the puppies instead! It's like the best story ever! Note from Nonsense: "I have no problems with Zootopia, but Mommy and her friends need to stop making me watch the howling scene. I'm a doodle. Doodles don't howl to mark territory. We rely on a complicated system of social contract and negotiation. I'm not going to howl, no matter how much you want to post it to TikTok."
Name: Chie Occupation: Petgirl and newlywed wife of Master N / Mistress Aspyce’s “sister” Likes: Previously the kittygirl of a failed leather household, Chie learned that being in charge is a mug’s game. It’s far better to have the freedom of being a pampered pet than have to worry about gross things like employment and bills. She’s currently living with her master thousands of miles away, but she still manages to be a frequent source of chaos in the Aspyce house. Streaming Guilty Pleasure: Cats don't feel any guilt about streaming vast quantities of anime, but "Apothecary Diaries" is really good.

Full-Time and Part-Time Maid Service in Jaipur
Balancing both household chores and office work is really hard, so people need one helper who can take their whole household tasks responsibility. There are two types of lauds available, one is full-time and another is part-time maid service in Jaipur.Such professional maid services provide the assistance you require to get things done and offer you even more free time for your needs. Now, let's explore some of the benefits and services of maid services in Jaipur.
Why Choose Full-Time and Part-Time Maid Services?
Maid service demand increases in Jaipur as more people work with this city and an ever increasing number of families will surely require domestic services. They need maids. As such you can choose either of them based on your own demands. Both full time maids and part time maids have their advantages and disadvantages; therefore, you may want to choose one according to their lives and pocket.
1. Full-Time Maid Services
This includes the hiring of a Full time maid who works on your behalf throughout the day, usually 6 to 8 hours a day. They support all the requirements your house needs. Here's why you might hire a full-time maid:
Constant Availability: A full-time maid is ever available to take care of your daily chores, which range from cleaning, cooking to everything in between. So, they'll be assisting you with anything at hand; they are pretty excellent as an option if a busy schedule or a very large house is your plight.
Consistency: Since the maid only works for you, it is quite consistent with respect to the quality of the work. You would never need to cancel an appointment at the last moment or worry about the delay.
Personalized Service: If one has a full-time maid, she would be in tune with your needs and customs, ensuring that tasks get done in your style.
2. Part-Time Maid Services
The best for people who do not require constant help is part-time maid services. Most part-time maid services provide flexible hours. You can hire a maid to work for only a few hours a day or a week. Part-time maid services are popular for these reasons:
Less Expensive: You need not engage a maid to perform the very few tasks such as cleaning, laundry, if a part-time maid will offer you a similar quality service but at much cheaper cost compared to full-time maid.
Flexibility: One can schedule part-time maid services according to their requirements. You may need cleaning twice a week or help you with special tasks, and the freedom is yours to adjust the service as required.
Ideal for Smaller Homes: For someone who has a small house, part-time maid is an excellent alternative because a small place requires less deep maintenance; thus, part-time maid will do the cleaning in your house most importantly, which is pretty budget-friendly.
Advantages of Hiring a Maid Service in Jaipur
1. Time-Saving
With the help of maid service in Jaipur, you don't need to take any stress from your household tasks. Your Maid can do all the work, so that you can get enough time.
2. Expertise and Experience
A professional maid is trained on several things: cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, and organization, among others. Expertise like this will ensure your house remains clean and arranged to make the tasks for you.
3. Cleanliness of Your Home
A clean home is a sign of a healthy home. A professional maid can only keep your home bacteria free and make your home healthy living. But the difference is a full-time maid stays at your house for the whole day so your house will be clean frequently but part-time maid only comes to your house for a particular hour. So only once will they clean your home.
4. Customized Services
The maid services offered in Jaipur can be adjusted according to your requirement. Whether it is deep cleaning or regular maintenance or special services like ironing or grocery shopping, professional maid services can provide solutions for all those needs.
5. Security and Trustworthiness
When you hire a maid service in Jaipur, you're really hiring a person to enter your personal space. What's pretty important is the company is good enough to allow running through comprehensive background checks and pick out only those who are reliable and trust-worthy. That's honestly what can make you rest easy with the safety of your house and belongings.
Choosing the Right Maid Service in Jaipur
When you are in the process of hiring full-time maids or part-time maids services; you always have a good reputation firm. I have given the following guideline for selecting maid services in Jaipur.
Reputations: Select only agencies who have remarkable reviews and with whom lots of people rely upon this community. Also, the reviews posted by customers could be the best source of a quality service by that maid agency.
Experience: Choose a firm that has experience in availing professional maid services. These experienced companies know what you want and give you the best results possible.
Transparency: Do not hire an agency which is not transparent with pricing and terms related to service. It may invite some hidden charges or misunderstood things later on.
Conclusion
This will ensure keeping your home clean and in order in a busy city like Jaipur. The full-time maid or part-time maid service will be available for your daily or occasional use according to your preference, and you would have a comfortable, stress-free space with professional help while saving a lot of time and effort. So, if you’re looking for reliable maid service in Jaipur, consider your needs and choose the best service to make your life easier and more manageable.

Types of Domestic Services
Domestic Services includes work performed within a residence that provides cleaning and maintenance, cooking, laundry and ironing, care for children and elderly dependents and household errands. This type of work has historically been considered women’s labor, reflecting gender roles and economic contributions.
The decline of live-in domestic service has influenced family structures and labor dynamics, prompting discussion of issues surrounding labor rights and compensation for domestic workers worldwide.
Cleaning
Cleaning is the most common type of domestic service. It may be performed by individuals or by agencies. The latter may send workers to a home for a set number of hours per week, or they may use a mobile app that allows the worker to pick up assignments as she goes.
Women are overrepresented as house cleaners and aides to elderly persons. This reflects the gendered division of labor as well as discrimination against women, who often lack other employment opportunities.
Most workers in this occupation are self-employed. However, the Danish trade union 3F negotiated the first collective agreement with an agency in 2018, allowing workers to transition from self-employed to employed status after 100 hours of work. This is an important step for addressing the insecurity and low wages associated with domestic services.
Cooking
Cooks work in residences to prepare meals and manage kitchens. They often perform other household tasks, such as laundry and grocery shopping.
Historically, domestic services have been primarily women's work. This type of employment has shaped family structures and gender roles while contributing to economic contributions made by working women.
The Fair Labor Standards Act defines domestic service as "service of a household nature performed in or about the private home (permanent or temporary) of the person for whom the employee is hired." This includes cooks, butlers, valets, housekeepers, maids, governesses, nurses, caretakers and animal groomers. Hospitals rely on domestic services staff to keep corridors and offices clean and provide food for patients and staff. Customer service is key in this industry. Frequently, employees begin in this type of work with few or no qualifications and progress into team leader positions.
Child Care
Child care has emerged as a central issue for many families. Pre-pandemic studies linked accessible, affordable child care to women's ability to work and family economic stability.
In NYC, you can locate child care programs on NYC's Child Care Connect, which lists regulated programs. You can also find a list of Resource and Referral programs that coordinate local child care services.
You may want to consider a Parent's Helper, which is someone hired by a household to provide full- or part-time child and domestic services. Some parents' helpers have previous child care experience. Other providers are unregulated and may offer informal care in their own homes. This care is usually cheaper than regulated programs. However, you should know that unregulated care doesn't meet minimum health and safety standards.
Elder Care
Elder care services can include home cleaning, grocery shopping and meal preparation, running errands, or providing hands-on medical or other personal assistance to elderly or convalescing people. The services may be provided by family members, friends or paid helpers, including home health aides and certified nursing assistants. Some of the services are covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
As COVID-19 showed, the need for high-quality child and elder care is great and growing. Yet, significant public investment is needed to bolster higher wages and effective enforcement of labor standards in the sector (Banerjee, Gould, and Sawo 2021). This could drastically improve workers' financial security while bringing affordable child and elder care to households. This would also create jobs that are not only good for families, but also a valuable economic resource in communities.
Special Events
Using personal photos, inspiring quotes, images and other objects, residents created vision boards that showcased their dreams for the future. This event was not only a celebration of survivors’ strengths, but also an opportunity for them to connect with one another and build new relationships in a safe space.
Domestic services can include general housekeeping staff, maids, nannies, cooks, valets, butlers and gardeners. They can help you with chores such as washing clothes, cleaning out cupboards and drawers, vacuuming the carpets, dusting and washing windows.
Customer service skills are often important for those who work in domestic services. For example, some domestic workers deliver food to patients in hospitals. This makes their hospital stay more pleasant and helps them recover more quickly. This can be a very rewarding career for those who enjoy working with people.
