❝ maybe it was just meant to be. ❞ all of it. maybe the supposed “ child ” was destined to be there, fighting the traitor every step of the way, even at the end of the universe. who still deemed her a child by that point, anyway? certainly not herself or her pokemon, not cyrus or his commanders, not the renegade or the lake spirits.

the most divine intentions do not need to be understood. all’s well that ends well, so . . .

❝ would that be so wrong? ❞

"Just chalk everything up to the will of destiny...that's a comforting justification, isn't it?" Cynthia hums contemplatively, leaning back and closing her eyes. "Unfortunately, I still can't bring myself to accept that. I had the ability to intervene, to change so many things...and I failed to do so. Failed to protect you and your friends from danger. The way things played out so successfully--to be frank with you--was a miracle. But, happy ending aside, that loss of control, that helplessness...is something that I never want to feel again."

Cynthia opens her eyes, and her gaze reflects both kindness and sadness as it lands on the ascendant trainer.

"...You're the same way, aren't you? I know how much you like order and control, and I don't think that's a bad thing. Those traits...they're why you are the Champion of Sinnoh now. And I can think of no one more deserving. Even so, I'll ask you this, Hikari."

"If you were in my shoes back then, would you have let things escalate the way they did? Would you have entrusted a trio of children with the fate of Sinnoh, even taking one of them into the Distortion World because you were too weak to go alone? Surely you would have intervened,. And surely you would still be haunted by those helpless, out-of-your-hands moments, despite the result...?"

Cynthia smiles, tilting her head curiously.

"Those words--just meant to be--as well-intentioned as they are, do sound wrong coming from you," she counters lightly. "The Hikari I know isn't content to just sit back and passively accept destiny's will like that."

currently unwell because I'm about to look 2000% too deeply into this stupid ass Ouran episode. I'm reaching Kaorus pumpkin levels of delusion here because I really be overreacting to this simple part but like

this. this is so simple. such a thing that shouldn't stand out but it DOES to me because every single time that the difference between them is brought up its some spectacle. it's them playing their silly little which one of us is which game or somebody telling them straight up they don't know who's who and they have a depressive episode over it but just right here. the question of questions is asked and Kaoru doesn't even hesitate he's just like I'm Kaoru :] and then talks about pumpkins for 10 minutes.

but I keep looking into it!!! and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing

my first impression was that omg... this is Epic... they've grown so much since knowing Tamaki. he doesn't make a big deal out of it because how could this person know when they make little to no effort to discern themselves from each other. instead of shoving this person away for not knowing he just answers the question and talks to him like they're best buddies (<- they are not, mr class president has clearly never seen Cinderella)

but on the flip side. is that quick no thought response just exhaustion??? he answers because it's just faster to get that over with and out of the way after years and years of people not really giving a damn about the difference between them at all???

perhaps it's a mix of both. Kaoru himself says they're contradictory and they want to be told apart but also don't. so what's it. what's ithuh

(the real canon answer is that Kaoru did not register it and just wanted to infodump about cinderella)

but then I started thinking. is it primarily Hikaru who gets defensive about not being able to be told apart from his brother. obviously Kaoru feels similar but given that he seems to be so self aware about his and Hika's contradictory ideology then maybe he's grown from being so defensive about it but how long has that been the case. does Hikaru ignite feelings like that in him because of the fact that Kaoru hates when Hikaru feels so down. how many questions does this spark? too many

[thoughtspresso]

Oshi No Ko was about Arima Kana all along.

And I think there’s a real possibility she may die at the end.

Or be placed in the way of grave danger.

I was reading some AquKane shippers say something about how they don’t understand AquaKana, and why the writers and directors keep clearly pushing Kana towards Aqua when they barely share any chemistry. Whereas, in their belief, his relationship with Akane is more honest, deeper, whatever. I’m not here to argue about that. But I get where they’re coming from. And the simple explanation is this:

It’s because this whole story was written for Arima Kana.

I’ve seen some Youtubers talk about how this whole story was meant to be fulfillment for Ruby/Sarina’s dream to become the next great Idol, something about Amaterasu favoring her.

And that’s near what I thought of it. But I really think if the God of Entertainment wanted to bless a child with cancer a second life as the world’s great idol, they’d also give her a great singing voice, y’know?

Spoilers for the manga, of course as we go along on this explanation. So anime onlies, get caught up before you start reading me ramble.

Here we go:

1. Arima Kana is the embodiment of Amaterasu, not Ruby.

Or at least, Amaterasu’s appointed representative, or her favorite daughter.

To give you a run-down of some of the core Shinto/Japanese Mythology that is important for the story, the Creator God Izanaki had three children:

Amaterasu, Goddess of the Sun.

Tsukuyomi, the Moon.

Susanoo, the Storm.

The story goes that Amaterasu and Susanoo had a competition about who could create better gods. So Amaterasu took Susanoo’s Totsuka-no-Tsurugi* (longsword) and split it into three, from which she birthed the three Munakata goddesses.

And woncha knowit, there are three great actresses born in that year?

*A reminder that Kana plays the character Tsurugi, which literally just means Sword. And Akane’s character Saya-hime just literally means Sheath or Scabbard Princess.

In this bet, Amaterasu got clever with the rules and won on a technicality. Susanoo went on a rampage, destroyed Amaterasu’s ricefield, and flayed Amaterasu’s favorite divine horse*, and then threw its body at her loom.

*The name Arima is spelled with the Kanji of Horse & Exist/Live. 

Amaterasu, in her grief, flees into a cave, believed to be Amano Iwato cave, right in the town of Takachiho, Amamiya Gorou’s hometown, and the death place of  Tendouji Sarina.

The being that draws Amaterasu out of there was the Goddess of the Dawn, known also as the Goddess of the Revelry & Arts, a being that Aqua says he knows well, and believes there’s a grain of truth to:

And how does Ame-no-Uzume draw Amaterasu out of her grief?

By throwing an absolute rager, and dancing really wildly that it catches her attention and makes all the gods around them laugh so hard. Just like:

Ame-no-Uzume will later on marry a diety who tried to block her passage before, Sarutohiko, who in Ise is worshipped as the god who illuminates the world.

That’s some divinity-level AquaKana shipping right there.

Just like how Aka Akasaka wrote the story of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War about two lovers who couldn’t be together just like in the myth of Kaguya, but having his characters overcome all odds to defy divine fate, I do believe that apart from the parallels to the mythology like he did in Kaguya-sama, there is very literal divine intervention this time in Oshi No Ko.

I think what’s happening is that the gods, particularly Amaterasu and Susanoo are quarelling again about who could create better gods, just like before, but now more of whose favored child will shine the brightest and be worshipped by the most humans. But just like last time, Susanoo may have been enraged, especially at the sexual assault of his chosen Hikaru Kamiki, that he possessed him with a corrupting force that urges him to destroy shining stars before they reach their peak, hence the murders of Himekawa Airi, Hoshino Ai**, and Katayose Yura.

Which by the way, the name Hikaru means Radiant Light!

And Hoshino means Field of Stars!

Whether it’s because Amaterasu is angry that every daughter she sends to earth is slaughtered by Susanoo’s chosen, or just because she wants to win their competition, she appoints Ame-no-Uzume to assist in safeguarding her new favored one from Kamiki’s clutches. Her new favored one being Arima Kana.

And therefore, Ame-no-Uzume takes the souls of two motherless humans who had passed before they could shine and sent them to become Hoshino Ai’s twin children. It was all anyway happening in her territory of Takachiho at the most opportune time.

Ame-no-Uzume is also known as The Goddess of Dance, as well as The Great Pursuader. And wouldn’t you know, that’s exactly the gifts that the Hoshino Twins received.

An energetic performer who takes the stage with dance:

And a deceptive, persuasive, extremely believable actor, who:

fooled his own sister into believing she had been rejected from an audition

pretended to scout an idol from a competing agency to research them

get Director Gotanda to raise him and train him

make Akane not just date him, but follow him down a destructive path

convince Kana and Mem to join IchigoPro

impersonate Pieyon for several days straight

Anyway, I truly, truly believe that unbeknownst to Aqua, his true mission is just to keep drawing Kana out of her darkness until she shines the brightest. Which is what he keeps doing anyway:

2. The Timing of the whole Oshi No Ko plot is aligned with Arima Kana’s rise to unprecedented stardom.

The story of Ai Hoshino’s pregnancy and meeting of Gorou Amamiya in a quaint hospital occurs at the beginning of Arima Kana’s life, just after she is born.

She meets Aqua Hoshino around age 4, already talented, and already extremely arrogant which could have easily been the demise of her career. But meeting Aqua and seeing his acting was a necessary wake-up call for her, that it brings her to tears. She never forgets this experience that she brought that lesson with her to her adulthood: that she can’t be satisfied and keep working harder, and to be a better communicator with her colleagues. At their first point of contact, Aqua already becomes the reason why Arima Kana’s acting career survives the slump.

They meet again in high school, when Arima Kana has one acting job in a lackluster production of Sweet Today. The ratings had plummeted, if not for the fact that Aqua came onto the set to draw out the best acting Arima Kana could deliver. After this, Arima receives much more respect and recognition from her colleagues in the industry beyond just being cast to bring some legitimacy to their production.

It’s because of Aqua and Ruby that Kana joins IchigoPro’s Idol Division, and her career is reborn anew. Such that, even after quitting B-Komachi, Arima states she never regretted the decision to join, because otherwise the career of Arima Kana would have been already over. 

It’s because of Aqua’s presence that Arima trains to become better and better as an idol. Aqua kept drawing out the light from Kana’s eyes, to the point that it catches the attention of the crowd who previously had no interest in her.

It’s because of her experience as an idol that she regains the confidence and sense of greed necessary to grab the attention of the audience when on stage, such that even Akane recognizes this change in her when Arima takes the stage as Tsurugi for the 2.5 Adadptation of Tokyo Blade.

And it’s because of all of these that she captures the attention of award-winning Director Masanori Shima, who lines up some roles for her when her acting schedule had dried up. It’s once again because of Kana’s dedication towards Aqua that Shima D finds her so interesting that he was most willing to promise her the best role possible.

It was as if Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto appointed Aqua and Ruby to come draw Arima Kana out of her Cave, and bring the Sun out again, just like how the deity drew out Amaterasu.

If you think about the title of the show, Oshi No Ko, it literally means The Favorite Child. God’s favored child. Arima Kana had been born chosen by Amaterasu from the very beginning. And Ame-no-Uzume is sending Aqua and Ruby to aid on this quest.

Which explains why it seems like there had been a mission communicated to Aqua from the very beginning. And why Ai was never going to be reincarnated at all.

You would think that if The Crow Girl, which we assume is the divine guide Yatagarasu, was communicating with Aqua about his revenge plan or helping him find Kamiki, that Aqua would hold a more favorable relationship with The Crow whenever it appears to give advice, no?

But it’s exactly the opposite. Because The Crow is guiding him into something that is different from his personal goal that Aqua doesn’t understand.

And this is where I think Arima Kana could be put in danger.

3. Arima Kana is Hikaru Kamiki’s next target.

There were earlier theories that thought Kurokawa Akane was the one to die next, because of what people have now learned of Kamiki’s serial murderer profile targeting big celebrities before their peak, and because Akane had received a bouquet of white roses from him when she won an award.

The chapter when it was expected to happen was a fake-out from Aka Akasaka, and some people think it’s still possible that she’s the target. In fact, I keep seeing recent theory videos who discount Kana and say she’s “the safest”. Hah! If only!

The scenes with Shima D weren’t just a mere plot point to bring scandal to Arima’s name, and threaten her career and life enough that it pushes Aqua to reveal his mother’s secret in exchange. But it’s there because this is the upward path for Arima Kana. So far, the only people who have witnessed her dazzling star power have been fans of the Sweet Today manga, idol otakus, and people who attended Tokyo Blade. That’s not really masterpiece-of-the-century, performing-at-the-dome level. None of these gigs have placed her center stage in what could be Film of the Year, and a Best Actress spot. Now, the chance is here, and it’s real:

I think, The 15-Year-Lie will attempt to draw out Hikaru Kamiki, or that Aqua intends to reveal himself in the movie looking like him, and reveal the identity of his father.

But I also think what would happen is that they would be unsuccessful at taking him down completely. Instead, from the movie, he would be interested in Arima Kana, and target her through the course of her Shima D movie, and plan to kill her before an important awards night.

Alternatively, now that Kana is changing her focus to film, she may consider moving agencies, and ask Frill Shiranui about her agent. And if we’re right, she is likely represented by Kamiki Productions.

Either way, Kamiki will pay attention to her and try to kill her just before she reaches her highest.

But I don’t think Arima Kana will die. I think instead of being saved by Aqua, it’ll be Kana who takes Kamiki down. Echoing back to her getting mad at Aqua for thinking that avoiding her was protecting her, and Aqua believing that Kana doesn’t need help since she’s strong enough to take care of herself.

And then maybe, it’s Arima Kana who draws Aqua out of the darkness too.

And, just like with Kaguya and Shirogane Miyuki, Aka Akasaka is once again writing a story about two people who will defy a fate of divine tragedy, and come out of it being more truthful with each other than they’ve been with themselves all along.

PERSONALITY

WIP

HISTORY

Born to Lysandra Mortis, a woman renowned for her otherworldly beauty and rumored to possess magical powers, Hikari's early years were tainted by tragedy. 

Lysandra, a prostitute whose enchanting beauty captivated her clients, met a grim fate at the hands of one of them, leaving behind a small baby with eyes as bright as the stars. Lux, as she was named, was born into a country torn apart by conflict, and her mother’s death added to the countless casualties of the war. Her father was never in the picture; leaving her orphaned and alone at a young age. Lux was placed in an orphanage, where she endured years of neglect and hardship like the majority of children that were victims of the war. 

Lux inherited her mother’s rare beauty, which captivated those around her. She was considered a beautiful child, with bright turquoise eyes resembling gemstones and ivory, long wavy hair, decorated with a pale, almost doll like skin; which made her stand out among the multitude of children. 

Thanks to this, Hikari was given nice treatments, she was given beautiful clothes, toys, and delicious food that she had never even seen in her life; along with a room of her own that was in a better state than the others. However, her beauty became both a blessing and a curse when the orphanage's caretakers, desperate to make ends meet amidst the chaos of war, started offering children up as merchandise and "entertainment" for the aristocrats in the country. 

Lux was one of the first children to be offered, and she quickly became one of the most popular among the aristocracy to use. She quickly gained fame by being compared to her mother, some of them called her“little Mortis”, directly comparing them. They enjoyed seeing the bruises form in her skin, and the contrast the scarlet of her blood made against the white of her hair. 

Her innocence was ripped from her without a warning, leaving behind scars that ran deeper than the surface ones showed. 

Hikari’s only comfort was a small group of kids she met through Kou, a bright child that approached her one day in the aristocrat-filled clubs, a victim of the same fate she had endured. 

One day, a tall man with white hair, arrived at the orphanage, promising hope and happiness to Lux and her friends. Karlheinz was his name. He took Lux and four boys to the demon world, where Lux would see her best friends for the last time. 

Waking up in an unfamiliar room, Lux found herself alone with Karlheinz, who revealed they were in Rotigenberg, her new home. Karlheinz, aware of Lux's potential from her mother's stories, began experimenting with his magic on her. He gifted her a new heart crafted from his powerful magic, granting her abilities beyond those of a normal human. His plan was starting, and she was to be one of the first subjects.

However, as his experiments progressed, it became apparent that Lux's severe trauma rendered her unfit for the role of the perfect "Eve" he so craved. “Lilith” he called her. The original, broken one. 

Disappointed by his failed experiment, Karlheinz slowly withdrew his presence from Lux's life, leaving her alone in the tower where she had been subjected to his experiments.

The abandonment by Karlheinz, after initially showering her with attention and affection, shattered Lux's fragile state of mind. Faced with reminders of her past torment, she resorted to drastic measures to cope with her pain, including cutting off her long, silver hair that made all the memories from her childhood come back like a knife against her skin.

Years passed, and just when Lux had resigned herself to a life of solitude, Karlheinz returned with a new proposition. He presented her as a crucial component of his Adam and Eve project, a pawn in his game now started game with fate. He renamed her Hikari, meaning "light," perhaps as a cruel reminder of the beacon of hope she once represented. Desperate for a sense of belonging, Lux accepted her new identity and dyed her hair brown as a symbol of her desire to leave her painful past behind, she grew it again, but kept it shorter than it used to be in her childhood, and resorted to wearing thick chokers again. 

She had one mission, to serve as motivation for them to fulfill his plan. She was then sent to the Sakamaki mansion under the excuse of a new bride, her true motives hidden beneath a façade of compliance and obedience perfectly crafted to charm the potential "Adam"s.

RELATIONSHIPS

WIP

ABILITIES

Immortality - Hikari ceased to age due to Karlheinz's experiments, and cannot die of natural causes. Her immune system is almost perfect, so human illnesses don't really affect her, she can only die if the wounds are too much for her body to heal itself.

Faster Healing - Her body has the ability to heal from injuries at an accelerated rate. Wounds that would be dangerous to humans heal within a short moment for her.

Enhanced senses - Hikari’s senses are heightened to be more than a normal human's. She can see better, hear better, and moves with grace and agility that surpasses human limitations.

Magic - It's unknown if Hikari's talent with magic is due to Karlheinz own magic or due to her mother's supposed one; but it seems she has an easier ability to it than a common human.

ETYMOLOGY

Hikari's name is written in katakana, but can also be written in kanji as 光.

Both of her names Hikari (ヒカリ) and Lux (ルクス) mean "Light" - Lux being in Latin and Hikari in Japanese, her name just seems to be a translation unlike how the Mukami's have different original names. (Like Yuma being called Edgar and Kou Emilio).

Her last name "Vanthorn" (ヴァンソーン) comes from the word "Vanus" in Latin, which means "vain" and the English word thorn.

Her real last name, "Mortis" comes from the Latin word "Mors" which means death.

Warning: mention of death, corpses

“Put them over there,” Hika says, offloading blankets to Connie, who lets them fall in a heap. Hika winces. “Stack them, Connie, damn.”

“What’s the point?” Connie wonders, picking up his fallen pile, folding them haphazardly. “We’re just gonna cover corpses with them next time out.”

Hika stops working. Connie does too.

He makes a face, sighs, and turns to Hika. “I did it again, huh?”

“You did,” Hika agrees. “That was an inside thought. But you noticed this time, so I’m proud of you for that.”

“Thanks.”

“Also, fold those nicely. If you don’t, Levi will kick your ass.”

Hika/Tobi Marriage Hunt + Blessed Eyes AU...Thing

Hikaku waits in perfect stillness, aside from the slow spin of his sharingan.

There is little chance of securing himself a spouse this hunt, he knows. Not when the prey is Senju Tobirama.

Madara is out there, stronger than him, and Izuna, faster and more familiar with the prey. There are clan members who are better at tracking and sensing who all stand a better chance than him, but if he had not even tried, then Hikaku would have had no chance at all.

In truth, he thinks the most likely outcome is Tobirama remaining unbound and unwed by the time the sun rises. The treaty had only called for a hunt, not a marriage, and the blessed one is clever and wily. They had known that, when they'd asked for this, but the Uchiha had wanted a chance, however slim, to bring those blessed eyes into their clan.

Hikaku had wanted a chance, too -- it felt blasphemous to not at least try. And so, he waits. Unmoving, chakra crushed down to blend in with the trees, as his clansmen scatter and search in the forest around him.

He has no chance of chasing down Tobirama, he's known that from the start, so instead of trying he's found a spot, set up traps, and sits, waiting. Tobirama probably wont fall for them, either, but he might, and that's at least worth waiting in the forest until sunrise.

One of the wires he's attached to a distant branch vibrates, then another, and another. One might have been an animal, but so many so fast means a person. Person doesn't mean Tobirama, but Hikaku tenses in preparation, regardless. Whoever they are, they're moving towards him at breakneck speed. Fleeing, Hikaku hopes, as he curls one hand around the wire in the clearing, and another in a sign, ready to spring one of the traps at his feet.

A figure springs into view, a streak of ghostly white, and Hikaku does not hesitate, pulling the wires tight around a figure that, even though he is clearly surprised, is able to dodge the attack. But not perfectly; when he hits the ground, its with a stumble, and its pure instinct that has Hikaku forming the hand signs to pull the pre-loosened dirt under him down and in.

Before Hikaku can even blink, he has Tobirama buried up to his shoulders. The blessed one is red faced and panting with exertion. He looks around wildly, meeting Hikaku's gaze for a moment that seems to stretch forever before he tears his red eyes away, struggling fruitlessly against the dirt and stone holding him still.

Hikaku hesitates. He wishes they had time to talk, wishes he had time to ask, because the last thing he wants is for Tobirama to resent him for this. But the way he'd been moving and the sounds of pursuit in the woods behind can only mean whoever had him fleeing is close. If Hikaku wants to claim Tobirama for himself, he has to do it now.

"I'm sorry." He breathes, like it will help anything.  He loosens the dirt on one side, enough for Tobirama to free one arm, which he does immediately. Hikaku is waiting for it, and he catches the limb, interlocks their fingers, and wraps the red silk cord that every Uchiha who's come out to the hunt tonight has brought with them around both of their wrists, heart thundering all the while.

Tobirama stops struggling after the first knot is tied, but he waits until they're fully bound together to say, "It seems you've caught me, Uchiha-san."

His voice is even, there's no fear or anger in it, and now that it's really over he allows himself to meet Hikaku's eyes. Tobirama looks like he's calculating. Considering.

Hikaku smiles at him, self depreciating. He's just some faceless Uchiha to Tobirama, he knows. No one important. He hopes that doesn't make the fact that he's the one who caught him sting even worse.

"You can call me Hikaku." He says, loosening the rest of the dirt and helping Tobirama climb free. Tobirama accepts it -- has to, since their hands are bound.

They're both still on their knees, facing each other when Madara arrives in the clearing with the thunderous crack-snap of stones shattering under his feet when he lands. Izuna is behind him only a moment later -- if they had gotten frustrated with Tobirama slipping away and decided to work together, then it's no wonder he had been so harried when he'd arrived.

"Madara-sama." He greets, "Izuna-sama. I don't suppose you'd mind giving us a bit of privacy?"

Both of them stare for a long moment, eyes comically wide before sharing a look with each other. Izuna makes a helpless wheezing sound, and Madara has to be the one to grab his arm and say, voice high, "Yes. Let's go."

Tobirama almost looks bemused as they flee, though it's fleeting, replaced with that cool consideration as he turns to regard Hikaku. He's the one who caught Tobirama, but he has to suppress a shiver at that red eyed gaze.

Tobirama is beautiful, so no matter how this goes he'll have that, at least but…

"I would have liked to have asked if you if you were okay with this." He admits, "But now that they've seen, I'm afraid there's no going back."

Tobirama tilts his chin up imperiously.

"Do not pity me. I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to this."

In return, Hikaku thins his lips.

"Agreeing to a hunt and getting caught are two very different things." He argues, then sighs. "But I suppose that hardly matters, now. Is -- ah." He truly is unprepared for this, because his fantasies involving Tobirama have been more domestic than anything else. "…Is there a way you'd prefer to do this?"

Tobirama must be unimpressed with the blush coloring his cheeks, Hikaku thinks. At least until he notices this pink starting to dust Tobirama's own.

"…I knew what I was getting into." Tobirama repeats, but this time his voice is quieter, eyes fixed down, on their intertwined fingers, "The treaty may not have demanded a marriage, but peace will be much more stable if one exists."

Oh. Hikaku breaths. Oh, he had been planning on getting caught. If things had gone differently, Tobirama may well have treated the forest of hunters like a buffet of suitors to pick and chose at his will, but instead...

"What I mean to say is --" Tobirama shuffles forward until their knees are touching and he can feel the warmth of Tobirama's breath on his lips, "-- I came prepared. And you did catch me fair and square, Hikaku-san."

Hi yall, I just got back from my trip, and I’m trying my best to catch up and get back on track with my healthy habits. I don’t think I have a new theme of the show to add on this analysis.

What I want to talk more is about the parenting method of Hiromu and Masaki. It was in episode five when this theme showed itself very clearly to me. In that episode, Hikari was trying his best to be the best big brother as he now has a younger sister, Hinata. I think it was mid-episode when Hikari broke down because he has worked himself too hard being the model big brother to his family.

In this episode, we were introduced to new characters, neighbors of the Fujiyoshi family, Mochizuki and Michiru. Mochizuki just lost his spouse, Michi-chan’s mother, a month before they moved to the Fujiyoshi’s suburbs. What I just realized from what Masaki said in the episode was, Michi-chan and Mochizuki are the only other omega individuals in the series. More importantly, Michi-chan is the only omega child that the show shows us so far.

During the fourth encounter-playdate-between Michi-chan and Hika-chan, Mochizuki told Masaki about his trouble being a single dad. He told Ma-chan that he had over relied on his, now, deceased spouse in raising Michi-chan. He added that he was worried how he would leave Michi-chan alone during the day once his bereavement leave runs out. Side note: I don’t know whether this is real or not, but if Japan really does have bereavement leave, it’s so cool for them.

Masaki is as Masaki does, he of course offered Mochizuki to babysit Michi-chan during the day, and even though the two only had known each other for a week, Mochizuki was very glad that Masaki wanted to babysit Michi-chan.

Masaki’s daycare was going swimmingly until nap time. Hinata woke up and immediately cried. Ma-chan then quickly came to her aid and tried to soothe her. As Hinata was getting calmer, Michi-chan woke up and started to roam around the Fujiyoshi’s house looking for his dad, Mochizuki. As he could not find his dad, he also started crying. Masaki then went after him and tried to soothe him while still having Hinata in his arms. Side note: I don’t get why Masaki didn’t cut off Michi-chan as he was roaming around the house, I suppose Masaki needed to solve one problem at a time.

Masaki realized something that he had encountered already: Michi-chan was crying because he was trying so hard to be the stable anchor in the family. When Mochizuki unloaded his story to Masaki during their fourth playdate, Mochi-san told Masaki that after his spouse died, all he could do was crying. To him, it seemed like Michi-chan was the one who kept him from crying again.

Masaki tried to reassure Michi-chan that his work, as the stable anchor in the family, was noticed. He appreciated all the hard work that Michi-chan has done. Hikari then came to their little circle and tried to calm Michi-chan from his loneliness feeling.

When Michi-chan was going home, his dad asked Masaki why Michi-chan’s eyes were red. Masaki told Mochi-san that Michi-chan cried in the middle of nap time, probably because he woke up in a strange house. Mochi-san then acknowledged that, Michi-chan has actually been keeping a lot of things to himself.

This really reminds me of the many video essays I passed through on YouTube about what an ideal childhood is like. The one that came up on my Recommendation Page was how Belcher Kids from Bob’s Burgers are the best representation of how a childhood should be. I think even American Dad once has an episode when Steve needed to be the man of the house because Stan was knee-deep in reliving his childhood even though that he’s a middle-aged man.

I’m not a developmental/child psychologist, however, what I really want to stress out is that I’m very happy that Masaki and Hiromu are not forcing their children to bear adults’ responsibilities. That does not mean that they do not set boundaries or responsibilities to their children, though. The very first thing that Hikari said to Michi-chan as he was calming him down was whether Michi-chan wanted to play some more with him. Michi-chan said yes, and Hikari proceeded to take Michi-chan’s hand as if he was about to play some more with him. However, Hikari then pointed out to Michi-chan that if they actually finish their nap time, they will get snacks afterwards, hence why they should continue napping. Michi-chan then agreed to nap instead. Isn’t that marvelous? Hikari understood his task/responsibility that he needed to take a nap, a full-on nap, and he abided to that promise.

If only I could have Masaki and Hiromu as my parents. I suppose that they are the same age as me though.

I want to sprinkle some of the good character developments from the show. I think the fact that Hiromu is as FOMO as ever really chuckled me up. After Hikari told his dad that he just met a new friend, Hiromu was sad that he was really out of the loop because he didn’t know anything about this new friend, I mean, duh, haha.

Secondly, I’m so happy that Masaki and Hiromu are always honest to each other, and they always open the discussions for everything. When Masaki offered to babysit Michi-chan during the day, he did that without consulting Hiromu first. However, Masaki then talked about it with his husband. Hiromu at first seemed unconvinced because Mochi-san and Masaki just knew each other for a week, and Hiro-san was asking himself, what kind of a parent would let a, practically, stranger babysit for them? Side note: Hiromu, you clearly have never experienced a country where every aspect of your life has been dictated by neoliberalist policies. People in the states have been dreading for some kind of childcare for their children, let alone a functioning and trustworthy daycare. I already sensed Hiromu’s jealousy as the conversation was progressing. Then, it turned out that Mochi-san told Masaki that Ma-chan really reminded him of his deceased spouse. I think this was supposed to smooth the deal out; by saying that Masaki looked like Michi-chan’s mother, it meant to say that: “Oh, Michi-chan would love you as his babysitter, as you already have the look of his mother”. Hiromu then grabbed his husband and hugged him, SN: rizz, lol. Masaki then assured his husband that he did not perceive it like that, that Mochi-san was coming on to him. Hiromu then cleverly said, “even if it was, I wouldn’t let him”, SN: rizz again, lol. Masaki then really assured Hiromu that he really wanted to babysit Michi-chan because he wanted to be a good influence on another omega kid. Hiromu then agreed to do so afterwards.

Lastly, if any of my readers has watched the episode, I want to ask you, did they change the voice actor for Yuuki? Why did he sound differently in this episode? Does it supposed to mean a character’s development?

Tadaima, Okaeri episode nine was such a light fun. It seems like we’re going to be introduced to a new set of characters. I can’t wait to watch episode 10. Go watch this episode, yall!

[ctrl-alt-deleting-yr-face]

fuck it

i’m not scared

going through the entire oc ask game list for fun and answering them for hikari

i wanna post more about her but i get nervous!! but i’m still gonna do it anyways!!

be prepared, it’s a long one ^^

Note: As i was writing this i realized it got too long. So uh. I’ll be making a part 2. ^^

Edit: part 2 is up!

“Associated color?” Blue and white. Hikari is mainly associated with those two colors. Purple and yellow are also in there, but blue and white definitely make up the main palette ^^

“Favorite music genre?” Definitely indie rock, especially surf rock. Drawings Of Nothing by Archer Oh would probably be her favorite song, since it’s like. THE Hikari song in my brain

“Choice of weapon?” Hikari doesn’t really like to fight when it’s unnecessary. But she doesn’t use a weapon! She uses her magic to make big ol claws on her hands! She likes it since it feels natural. It’s an extension of her body, and she can get as up close and personal as she wants without really dealing with consequences, so she doesn’t mind!

“Are they crafty?” Vaguely? Not very much, though. She probably would if she spent more time alone, but since she’s always used to having others around, she doesn’t really get the chance to be super crafty.

“Usual wardrobe, practical or aesthetic focused?” Typically Hika would probably just wear her usual outfit or knight uniform, but if not she’d probably lean towards aesthetics. That’s not to say she doesn’t have cozy clothes! Sometimes she has a hard day and she just wants to curl up in the biggest, fluffiest sweater ever. ^^

“Hair?” VERY long and sleek blue hair. Usually she wears it tied in twintails, high twintails in her Xrd design and low twintails in her Strive design. It’s only really worn down when Nekomata takes over

“Favorite animal?” Now, you’d guess cat. After all, they’re not only a big part of her (locked away) past, but she also has cat ears and a tail! However, you must remember. She doesn’t give a fuck about herself. The only person she really does? Romeo. Her favorite animals are sheep.

“Nickname?” Not a real one, no. The most she has is Delilah calling her “big sis” at times and Romeo calling her an “insufferable cat”

“Favorite/least favorite food?” Dragonfruit is absolutely her favorite. She LOVES dragonfruit. As for least favorite.. Probably mutton, rock candy, or anything extremely bitter.

“Jewelry?” Not a ton? Unless you count her brooch and shackles on her strive design, which are made of a silvery metal, not really.

“How much are they like you?” Well, we’re both autistic, queer, love music, and vaguely depressed. So I’d probably get along pretty well with her.

“How long have they been around? Birthday?” Hikari is a very interesting case, to say the least. To start with the easy part, Hikari’s birthday is October 30th. I don’t remember why i decided that, it certainly wasn’t the day i made her, i think it just felt right. But as for how long she’s been alive… It’s complicated. Both physically and mentally, Hikari is in her late teens. 17-19 range. However, technically… She’s probably like in her 30s. This is because she died during the crusades as a teenager and she was brought back to life by the magical foci who fell in love with her and fused with her, turning her into an immortal yokai herself. She was actually alive in Baiken’s colony when it was around! I was thinking the attack that destroyed the colony and took Baiken’s arm and eye was the same one that killed Hikari at the time.

“How many languages can they speak?” 2! Hikari is fluent in both Japanese and English! She thinks it’s funny to annoy Romeo in Japanese since he can’t properly respond to it

“Good with numbers?” Vaguely? Her knowledge goes to like maybe beginning of algebra 1 and that’s it. She learned a lot from Romeo.

“What’s their family like?” Before their deaths, Hikari lived a quaint life in one of the Japanese colonies with her dad, older brother, and very abusive mom. They were all rather loving and didn’t mind Hikari’s differences and behavioral struggles (aside from the mom). After they all died, Hikari was revived, and her memories were erased, there was a long period of time where Hikari only had Bedman. He was all she knew. After his death, she was struck with deep grief. Grief that began to heal after she managed to meet Delilah. She sees Delilah, the bedframe, and Baiken to be the closest she has to having Romeo back at the current moment. She currently lives with them when she’s not working at the castle, and of course, Romeo joins their little household once he’s revived.

“Any pets?” Nope! She loves animals but never really had the chance to care for any pets.

“How did they spend their free time as a child?” Hikari loved nature before her death. Especially the forest and water. Whether it be running through the grass while calling out to singing birds, splashing in creeks with her brother, or accompanying her dad on fishing trips, she always wanted to be outside.

"Yo, 'Rena! Long time no see, champ! Um...uh...how to ask this?"

Barry's crackling voice falls silent over the phone. A small miracle. Whatever this is...he's nervous?

"Look. Um. This is gonna sound weird coming from me, okay? But you'd better not laugh or I'm seriously gonna fine you ten thousand million dollars...!" Another pause. "Uhm. I want to learn how to dance. Like, classily. Y'know? And you obviously rule at it, so..."

"Look, I'm not asking for any fancy tech or anything! I just...I read online that it's a cool skill to have?" (One can almost see Barry blushing through the phone, hear the steam erupting from his ears.) "And...and if it ever comes up, notthatitwould, but I wanna impress Hika with some hidden ability. Y'know? Or is that dumb? It's dumb, right? You're too busy to teach me, right...?"

          "Wait a second— wait a second. It's not a dumb idea at all,"

     It is a thin sliver of a second she latches onto to speak up— the moment that Barry so much as sounds like he is about to pause to take a breath between a marathon of words and over-explaining. There is never a dull moment with him, not even when he is not physically present. And perhaps that shows in her interruption, where even in the absence of a camera does a bright smile cling to the heroine's words. A warm tone, if not one so gradually building up to a provoking lilt.

     Whatever could have brought on this request? And not just that, but his utterly unstable tone?

          "I think it's sweet, wanting to impress Hikari with dancing. I'd be more than happy to make time to teach you. Or if not me, then one of my friends could, since what I do is... very specialised."

     Although, she muses in the depths of her mind, the image of attempting to get her energetic and impatient friend over the box of pointe shoes would be something of a spectacle. Definitely something that would make Hikari's features break into a grin.

          "...Out of curiosity, though... Barry, my good friend... Why do you want to impress her with a 'hidden skill' all of a sudden, hm...?"

[noxiatoxia]

hikaru as junko because i said so. imagine if hika was the mastermind and because he usually wears his heart on his sleeve and is easily readable no one would suspect a thing or know what he's really capable of but he's hiding the fact he's the mastermind. and like he's using kao for his alibis so like if someone did suspect him, kao would be like no that's wrong— we were together, even when it isn't true because he doesn't wanna suspect hika's like that. and imagine his shock when they all learn hika was the mastermind. Or at the end where hika executes himself, by then end of it in the after school lesson, he hugs the monokuma to himself, and actually smiles genuinely, mouthing something to kaoru, looking at him, but no one knows if that was honest or a manipulation tactic to make them feel sorry for him— (i actually wrote a fic about this once) sorry if it's too long—

TBH i think that would fit really well. Junko killed her own twin sister so i could see hikaru in this AU doing the same...if his ideals aligned with Junko's that is (craving despair and etc). If not I like the idea of Hikaru and Kaoru having this complicated relationship...Hikaru torn between wanting to be totally detatched from everyone, pouring his whole life into chaos and murder, but having feelings for Kaoru he cant destory despite it all...would he kill Kaoru?? or let him live?? i do like this idea quite a bit. Does he truly "love" Kaoru or was it always just an act? How much of him was real and how much was it for show? Does the distinction even matter? With a character as emotional as Hikaru there's a lot that can be done with this, esp if he was "faking" it the whole time.

ALSO I TOTALLY WANNA READ YOUR FIC PLEASE SEND IF YOU CAN

The yellow light flickers in the off-white-tiled kitchen, grout that hasn’t been cleaned in a hot minute separating each square. The white fridge hums, loud and clear, almost as if one could hear it when walking in from the front door. Brown, oakwood, cabinets hang from the wall,  filled with mismatched plates, bowls, cups, spices, medicines, and whatever items needed to be stored hastily. It is most definitely not a kitchen one would see in the after photos of those famous remodeling shows, but it is perfect for Timothy and Megan.

Tim walks into the door, drops his keys off on the little table by the front door, takes off his shoes, and throws his uniform jacket onto the coat hanger. His eyes drag towards the pendulum clock that hangs on the wall, the two-dollar sticker from the flea market still on the bottom of it. 3:47 p.m. it reads. His bloodshot eyes look towards the kitchen.  After a rough day at school, he figures he should reward himself so he makes his way toward the humming fridge. He passes the jigsaw-furnished living room. A poster of two beings from another world hangs from the walls, signed by the creator of the game Megan loves. It is one of her prized possessions. How she is into that game, he’ll never know, but it makes her happy. That’s all that matters.

Tim steps into the kitchen, and makes his way to the cold machine attached to the wall, opening its door. The light from the fridge illuminates his face, tired and exhausted from the countless exams and the head-ache-inducing lights. Looking at the various choices, he picks up a container holding a particularly delicious chocolate cake, covered in a rich chocolate frosting. Tim grabs the cake, and takes it to the kitchen counter, grabbing a fork from their designated utensil drawer, and taking one bite after another, savoring each one. 

Tim finishes up the cake and recycles the container. Just as he finished rinsing off the fork, Megan walks into the door, clearly in the same exhausted state as her brother, coming back from work.

Tim turns around and asks, “How was work today?”

“Grueling as usual. Doesn’t help that the coffee shop across the street just closed so there are just more shitty customers to deal with,” she states, with clear disdain for her job. 

“Damn, I’m sorry. Hopefully, you can find something you enjoy doing soon.”

She gives him a small smile. “Yeah, me too. Doesn’t help that the jobs available right now all suck, but as long as this paycheck keeps the bills paid, we’ll be fine,” 

She goes over and opens the fridge that Tim had just rummaged through. It is then that Tim realizes he just made a mistake. A grave mistake. A mistake that he may not be able to come back from. In his tired state, he did not register that the cake he just ate down to the last crumb, was his sister’s cake from the other night. 

He tenses a bit and watches as Megan looks for the cake. 

Megan registers that the cake is not where she thought she put it but does not want to ask Tim if he knows where it is. He wouldn’t know where it is anyways. She closes the fridge and decides to look in the cabinets. Sure she could ask him, but she is notorious for being forgetful about where she places things. She loves her brothers and she knows their teasing about her forgetfulness is nothing but sibling banter, but it's not something she can deal with at the moment. So, she continues with her search. She looks through all the cabinets and even goes into her room to try to find the cake. Tim is still standing by the sink, guilt coated over his face. But he still does not speak up.

Megan walks back into the kitchen and stands there, frustrated and hungry, but then remembers something she has to do. It is Tuesday evening, meaning recycling comes tomorrow. So she approaches the recycling bin, reaching down to take it out. Tim realizes what she is doing, and turns around, away from her, focusing on the plate sitting in the sink, waiting for it to be cleaned, waiting for the impending doom. 

Before she closes the bag, she notices something familiar and pulls it out to investigate it. On the plastic container, there is a price tag, detailing what was in the container.

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting- $3.99

However, this container did not contain a chocolate cake, it was empty. Obviously, when she bought the delicious dessert, there was a slice in it. 

“Tim?” she asks, turning around to face her brother, holding up the container.

He turns slowly, guilt painted on his face. He gives his sister a weak smile.

“Yes?” 

“Care to explain why this container that had cake in it, doesn’t anymore?”

He moves his eyes around, trying to find a possible out for the situation. 

“Would you believe me if I said that a magical cat-man was in here like five minutes ago and stole the cake?”

Megan glares at him. Clear as to what her answer is.

“Okay, fine, I ate it without realizing it was yours. I’m sorry. On my way home from school tomorrow, I can get you another slice. How does that sound?” he asks her, clearly feeling terrible about the whole situation.

“Fine,” she states, punctuating her response by throwing the container back in with the other recyclables. “Just make sure it’s the slices from Benji’s Shop, and also pick up some sticky notes while you're there as well, I have a feeling I’ll need some anyways.”

She leaves the kitchen, and Tim decides to go into the living room and lay down on the couch. Megan joins him soon after, both of them sitting in comfortable silence.

“Is Andy and James coming over for dinner tonight?” Tim asks.

“No, they are going on a date,” she answers, “but they said they are able to come tomorrow. I was actually going to ask what you wanted to have tonight, maybe even get something from the pizza place at the end of the block, but since you pulled that little stunt earlier, I think I’ll just get something for myself.” 

Tim turns to Megan, eyes filled with a pleading stare, and she smirks back, amusement clear on her face.

“Just messing with you, we’ll get some pizza.”

Tim celebrates briefly and falls back onto the couch as silence fills the room once again.

Sometimes it's tough for the two of them, what with their current situation, but they know they’ll get through it. As long as they have each other, cake disasters and all.

[kurna-kovite]

okay so hear me out: kaoru has a sock fetish that he tries to keep hidden from hika, but hikaru knows and being the little bitch he is he parades around the house in thigh highs and pyjama shorts— *because "he's cold but not cold enough for pants"*

unfortunate my phone broke so I couldn't answer this ask RIGHT AWAY but this is so real. kaoru is like "he's gotta know" but he can't just tell hikaru to stop because what if he doesn't know and he accidentally outs himself as a weirdo???

and when kaoru doesn't say anything the first day (despite being obviously flustered) hikaru takes this as a sign to do it again. incorporates that into his casual wear. classic shorts with the thigh highs and sneakers. it drives kaoru fucking insane

hikaru is also a little shit so if kaoru does finally go "stop wearing that shit" he's like"😇why?"

this gonna change smthn in hikaru tho he's gonna become an egirl 😥

kaoru lasts 2 days tops, probably less

Their reactions to meeting hikari for the first time! pt. 2

Featuring: The Mukami brothers!

Word count: around 500 words!

CW: fluff :), slight angst? maybe? idk! just fluff! probably OOC again 😞

— Ruki Mukami

Doesn’t recognize her at first. At all.

He’s like, huh?? Another Eve?? What is going on?

Once he figures out who she is he’s the most shocked of them all, he had talked with Karlheinz about her once; and he did let Ruki know about his plan of experimenting with her.

Eventually, Karlheinz did tell him she had failed, so Ruki just assumed that she had died. He never told his brothers any of that, since he already had a bad feeling about the “experiments”.

He’s obviously relieved she isn’t dead, just really confused.

He doesn’t join the hug or cry, but he gives her a short hug after, he’s happy she’s okay.

Also struggles with calling her by her new name, mostly alternates between the two; eventually he gets used to Hikari.

— Kou Mukami

Also doesn’t recognize her at first, he thinks she’s pretty tho, and is like “Have I seen this girl somewhere?”

Once Azusa says her name, he’s like “Lux? You’re alive?” completely shocked

The biggest smile appears on his face and runs to her to hug her, almost tackling her to the ground.

He will cry a little. Of happiness, of course. She was the first person to show him kindness in the orphanage when he tried to take his life, even before Ruki.

“What did you do to your hair? It was so pretty before! ヽ(；▽；)ノ” Hikari laughs awkwardly and just says she wanted a little change.

When she says her name is "Hikari" now, he just quickly switches and calls her "Hika-chan~!"

Sticks all day by her side, leaning on her and just enjoying her presence. Probably the happiest he’s been in a long time genuinely.

— Yuma Mukami

Doesn't recognize her either until Azusa mentions her name.

He's like "Hah?! Lux?!"

He doesn't cry, he's just really shocked about her still being alive.

Also joins the group hug that's created after Azusa, he's smiling wide.

"How the fuck are you still alive?" He's genuinely shocked, he had already assumed she had died a long time ago, none of them genuinely had any idea of what had happened to her.

"You smell different"

He just immediately switches to calling her "Hikari" when she says her new name, no honorifics, just plain Hikari.

He does call her Lux when he's mad tho. This annoys her.

They have a very sibling like dynamic, teasing each other and play fighting a lot.

— Azusa Mukami

He recognizes her immediately :)

Let’s out a soft “Lux?” Which makes his brothers be like “what-”

He’s the second one to go hug her after Kou, doesn’t wait for him to let go of her and just makes it a three-person hug.

Starts sobbing immediately. Doesn’t let go even after Kou does. Clings to her like she will disappear again.

Lots of “I missed you so much” and "don't leave again"

Hikari would probably drop a "you're taller than me now, you've grown so much".

Spends the day clung to her too, either lying on her lap or just leaning on her. She plays with his hair like they used to do as children.

Struggles the most with her new name, she ends up telling him that her old name is okay too, so he just calls her Lux. Sometimes a little "Lux-san" comes out, but she reminds him just Lux is okay.
