Ieyasu reacting to MC being pregnant🤰🏻❤:

You were well known for your gentle heart & compassionate personality as an Oda princess🥰😇💗 while Ieyasu was known for his sharp mouth & cold personality😒😠💢 as a warlord of Tokugawa Clan. Your brothers Nobunaga🍬😏, Mitsuhide🦊😏, Masamune🐯😁, Hideyoshi😩💗 and Mitsunari😍😇 doted on their little sister so much💗💯✨ and you were immensely grateful for their support and love towards you🥰❤😇.

Nobunaga was the type of brother to pamper you with everything you want with a smug grin on his face😏❤🍬✨, Mitsuhide being the type to tease you everytime😂😏💗🤗 but he also helps you at the the very last moment making your problems non-existent💯👍🏻😏😘🤗, Masamune would literally feed you anything you desire no matter the time of the day👨🏻‍🍳🤗🐯😁, Mitsunari being the type to approach whenever you feel down🤗😇❤🥰, he will brightem your day like the angel he is😇💗👍🏻💯 and Hideyoshi being the type to worry over his little & precious sister, 24×7😥💗🤗😍.

The credits of your pure❤, empathetic🤗 and caring nature😍 despite staying in the warring era⚔ obviously goes to the efforts of your brothers👬🏻, you were raised up in the very warm environment💗😇 while your to-be partner Ieyasu😒 grew up in the cruelest environment possible making him shutting his emotions away deep inside his heart making him often come across as a cold or rude person😒.

You and Ieyasu had been married together to strengthen the alliance through family relationships between Oda and Tokugawa Clan🎎🎊🎉❤. And trust me, when I say, that your doting brothers are worried over you due to Ieyasu's reputation is an understatement🤣. "Hey Ieyasu, you better give her a konpeito everyday, got that😏?" "Hey lad, take care of my kitten, will ya🐯😁?" "Lord Ieyasu, she is very pure, please love her with all your heart😇💗" "You should probably work on your communication skills😏🦊" "Lord Nobunaga, are you really sure that you want our precious sister to marry with this person😭🤨?" "Shut the hell up!", said Ieyasu rolling his eyes🙄. "Please don't worry about me, I will be fine💗🥰🤗!", you said with a gentle and reassuring smile to ease your brothers' worries💗. Even though they all were smirking at you proudly, you could clearly see the sadness in everyone's eyes😕 on seeing you go away from Azuchi Castle🏯.

You looked towards him riding in your palanquin and he sharply diverts his gaze away from you riding on his horse🏇. Ieyasu is the kind of person who has no value for love in his life, forget about placing love as his priority, he only focuses his attention on becoming stronger & gaining more power. Despite everything, he couldn't deny the fact that you exuded warmth and happiness around everyone❤.

To be very honest, he was jealous looking at you for the first time as you could express everything you feel just by your face, you were so optimistic towards life💗🥰, seeing your radiance made him annoyed for certain reason maybe because he could see himself as a child before he was sent as a hostage in you right now, he was just like you once upon a time, pure, innocent and oblivious to danger in the outside world. "To think I will have to deal with her all my life, what a pain!", he thought pinching the bridge of his nose. Well Ieyasu, just you wait and see🤣😏!

He took you to his Sunpu Castle🏯 located in Suruga after marrying you. It was surrounded by a lake & it was very beautifully constructed❤💯. It was your new home as you are Lady Tokugawa now, you were excited to begin your new life as his wife. Ieyasu guided you inside the castle and told all the maids to look after your needs. You looked around the new surroundings with high curiosity🤩 which made Ieyasu roll his eyes🙄.

"Um..Ieyasu..where is your room..?", you asked curiously. "My room? You don't have to do anything with it, the maids already arranged everything for you, so you can do anything you want in your room", he replied with a stern voice. "We are a married couple so I thought--", you continued but was interrupted by his cold voice. "So? Our marriage is nothing more than a political alliance so I don't see any reason to entertain beyond anything than it is required & besides, I have no interest in weaklings like you", he replied which made you froze in your tracks with shock,you felt a sharp pain in your heart. He turned his back at you and strode towards his room. The maids and vassals of Ieyasu were quite warm and welcoming towards you and they made you feel at home❤🥰🤗. "I think she is the blooming flower🌸 our Lord needs in his life, I truly think she will melt his heart with her warm smile💓🥰", a maid said with a hopeful smile. "I agree with you, Lord Ieyasu is blessed to have her as his wife, she is an angel💯❤😇", another maid replied with a bright smile.

Next day, you insisted in helping in the work of the Sunpu castle despite the protests of the maids😍💗. "What are you doing😳?", Ieyasu asked, his eyes went wide to see you cleaning polishing the floor💯. "Ieyasu, I thought to help around the castle, can I do it😍❤?", you asked him. "I don't care untill you don't get in my way😒", Ieyasu sighed which made you smile with happiness🥰 & something stirs in his heart seeing it😳💓. You continued doing everything you can to make everyone happy around you💗 with the feeling to made your days extremely productive💯 also following Ieyasu around despite his constant grumbling😒🤣.

A week later, you heard from the vassals that Ieyasu was in angry mood and stressed with his work👀. You made a warm tea & spicy dish🍵 & went inside his room, worried for him😥. "I don't need your concerns, stop annoying me for god's sake", he grumbled in a low voice massaging his temples, his table occupied with many documents🤦🏻‍♂️. "As you wish", you answered. Ieyasu looks up at you and his eyes went wide with shock😳 seeing the extreme hurt in your beautiful eyes & pained smile and before he could say anything else, you slid the door closed🚪.

He told himself that he didn't care but he couldn't erased the memory of you being hurt, you only came to cheer him up & he let his emotions got the better of him, he hated himself for it & he went outside to look for you, to apologize for his mistake🙇🏻‍♂️. You were cleaning the kitchen after keeping the tray back when Ieyasu came behind you. "MC--", he called your name but you weren't ready to face him yet so you went outside quickly. He sighed as he turned his attention back towards the tray of tea which was still warm accompanied with a spicy dish. "How did she knew about my favourite dish🤔?", he wondered as he took a bite and took a sip of tea. It was very delicious and relaxed his nerves but it only made him more worried. Since that day, you avoided him & went on with your daily activities, Ieyasu tried to interact with you but you fled away at the sight of him. Ieyasu could see the way, you grow stiff & the fear in your eyes, it reminded him again of his childhood, he felt guilty😔.

After 3 days of constant awkwardness between you & Ieyasu, you were returning to the Sunpu Castle after purchasing the fabrics, you needed for your commission work & the strap of your heel broke causing you to fall down on the hard ground. Your ankle twisted which made you cry in pain. You got up and started walking on bare foot towards your home, holding your sandal in your hand after realizing you didn't carry extra coins. You staggered inside the castle & made it back to your room. Ieyasu came outside his room after finishing his work & noticed bloodstains on the floor which lead him to your room. He took a glance inside to find you removing the thorns from your foot, whimpering. He quickly went back to his room to carry his medical supplies💊.

"I am coming inside!", he announced before stepping inside your room. "Huh? Ieyasu😳!", you exclaimed as you wiped your tears away. He bend down before you and inspected your foot carefully placing on his knee with a stern expression. "How can you be so clumsy😩?!", he asked in a strict tone but you could see the concern hidden deep in his eyes. He washed your foot and applied ointment making you clutch his shoulder in pain. "This pain is nothing to waste your tears away for!", he said with a cold tone Ieyasu dictionary: Don't cry, it will heal very soon but he dressed your foot with very delicate hands. "Thank you💗🥰😇!", you said with a very sweet smile making his heart pounding wildly in his chest💓, after a long time, you expressed genuine happiness DUE to him❤ WHAT IS THIS WARM FEELING😳? . He quickly got up and went outside your room without as much as a word *ahem*.

That was the incident which acted as an ice-breaker b/w you & Ieyasu❤. He caught you walking around & working hard with the support of your right foot, next day as you were too stubborn to rest in the bed for the whole day & do nothing, well, Ieyasu could relate to you on this behaviour🤷🏻‍♂️. You suddenly found yourself in air. "Woah! Ieyasu, you don't need to carry me--😱", you exclaimed, startled as you cling on him. "Keep quiet🙄!", Ieyasu said coldly as he carried you in his arms everywhere you needed to walk & everytime without any complaints & all the people of the Sunpu Castle were extremely shocked🤯😱😳 seeing their Lord Ieyasu carrying you around with a grumpy expression on his face😒. You were quite embarrassed receiving all the attention😳, your cheeks growing warm, yet you were grateful❤🥰😇. You made him his favourite tea🍵 & spicy dish🌶 as a thank you gift for him on your recovery & he accepted it with a grumpy face😒💗. "I am sorry", Ieyasu whispered glancing at you. "Huh?", you exclaimed, shocked😳. "I apologize for my mistake for letting out my anger on that day!", Ieyasu said it in a single breathe & he was blushing furiously. You giggled seeing his flustered expression & nodded your head😂💗👍🏻while he glared at you😠.

Next day, you saw him feeding a baby fawn🦌. "Wasabi, eat it slowly🙄!", he lightly scolded her. "You have a fawn as your pet, Ieyasu😳😁?", you exclaimed, surprised, a wide grin on your face as you caressed the head of Wasabi💗🥰😇. "She is an emergency food supply! Nothing else!", Ieyasu said, letting out a deep sigh🙄😒. You burst out laughing at his sentence😂 while he glared at you again😠. "Sorry! I didn't mean to laugh😏🤭💗!", you said trying to stifle your laughter. "Whatever! I don't care😒!", said Ieyasu as he continued to feed Wasabi🦌🌿.

This acted as a strong proof for you that despite his cold exterior, Ieyasu was a very compassionate person deep inside🥰 & you were quite determined to broke through his shell that he has built around him💯💗. You noticed the bow & quiver of arrows in Ieyasu's room while cleaning the corridors and you came up with an idea to know him better💃🏻💯. "You want to learn archery🏹?!", Ieyasu asked, looking at you with a dubious gaze. "Why😒?" "Pleaseee🐶" "Just stating a fact, I am a strict teacher!", Ieyasu sighed🤦🏻‍♂️. "Thank you, I am ready for it!", you exclaimed happily😍💗🥰💯💃🏻. He taught you very patiently even when you struggled with the basics💯. Ieyasu often spotted you practicing on your own when you were unaware of his presence which made him smile softly seeing your dedication☺️💯💗 No, I am not smiling😒! Yes Ieyasu, we can see your face😏! Ieyasu gifted you beautiful gold earrings as your reward for working so hard as a student💗✨💯. Your happiness knew no bounds as you hugged him tightly making him stumble backwards. "Hey😳!", he barely avoided the fall holding you. "Thank you, thank you so much, Ieyasu💗🥰😍🤗!", you said, happiness and excitement written all over your beautiful face💗.

You and Ieyasu went to Azuchi Castle to meet your brothers after a long time. "Come here🤝🏻", said Ieyasu as he held your hand. "I don't want you to fall down, it will be a pain!", said Ieyasu with his usual cold tone😒 but still it made your heart warm staying so close by his side💯🥰💗. Your brothers were more than happy to have their darling sister back🕺🏻💗🥰😏😍💯. But one of the messenger of Azuchi Castle came to give a letter to Ieyasu that arrived for him during the banquet to give him while everyone were celebrating together. It took only a moment for him to scan the letter with his eyes and he stood up with seething rage which surprised everyone including you. "Ieyasu, what happened?", you asked, concerned😥. He crumbled the letter and went outside the room without as much as a word. You pick up the letter and read it, "Traitor to Mikawa, Ieyasu Tokugawa, we will give you a very painful death!", your eyes went wide with shock as you excused yourself to go after him. He was in your room standing in the corner, his shoulders tensed. You went behind him & gently touched his shoulder. "Leave me alone!", he said, his tone harsh. "No, I won't leave you alone!", you said with a determined voice as you gently embraced him from behind. He couldn't bring himself to push you away at that moment. "Those Imagawa survivors want to kill me now, huh? Pathetic! They were the one who abused me emotionally & physically in my childhood & they want my loyalty, the audacity to see such a dream", said Ieyasu with a sarcastic chuckle, his fists clenched so tightly, his knuckles turned white. You caressed his knuckles when he held youd hand in return. You let out a gasp of surprise as he told you about his journey as a hostage during his childhood. "You are my wife so you would have known sooner or later, it's better if I told you before you go asking around", he said with a detached voice😒 but you could see the pain in his eyes. "I promise you that I won't let happen anything to you!", you said holding his fist making his eyes go wide, he could see the fire in your eyes, making his heart feel warm hearing someone desire to protect HIM💗. "Let's see, it's quite late, we should go to sleep", he said as he went to his bed, the tips of his ears red. "Yasu...Ieyasu....", he jolted awake with cold sweat all and panting heavily, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Ieyasu, you were having a nightmare but it's okay now, you don't need to be afraid, you are safe", you said in a gentle voice like you were talking to a child, stroking his back. He turns to look at you and hugged you tightly. "There, there, you are very strong, you know that?", you gently whispered to him. Ieyasu despised being vulnerable infront of anyone but he felt very comfortable around you to show his real self for some reason, he let you give him your warmth by caressing his hair while the same time, gently stroking his back and whisper words of encouragement in his ears, he starved for that warmth since years, no one did that for him ever when he was kicked and beaten thousand times over & over. He fell asleep in the very same protective environment on your lap as he kept holding your hand during his sleep as you looked down and realized the cruelties he survived & became the strong warlord he is right now, your admiration love😏💗 for him only grew stronger in your heart.

"Before you leave, carry this with you as a lucky charm💗!", you said as you presented him with the wasabi doll, you made for him praying for his safety. You gave him while he was going for his operation & his chest tighten with feeling of warmth as he hugged you close to his chest, unable to resist himself🤗😍💗✨.

Ieyasu got gravely injured while being captured in the trap of Imagawa survivors on his next operation given by Nobunaga. YOU along with Nobunaga and Mitsuhide came to his rescue which came as a big shock for Ieyasu, you found the wasabi doll fallen on the ground which also showed you the path towards him but also your heart was overwhelmed with worry for him. He didn't expect you to came rushing towards danger for him. He felt a mixture of emotions as he saw you came riding on your horse, he felt surprised, happy, confused, he couldn't pin point this feeling. You successfully lured the Imagawa survivors in your trap using your wits as your brothers wanted and even Ieyasu was surprised seeing your intelligence through his fading consciousness as it gave Ieyasu the moment & adrenaline rush to kill his torturer, the rest of the torturers went outside only to be killed and captured by Nobunaga and Mitsuhide. He stumbles towards you as you caught him in your arms as he said in a soft voice, "Thank you for coming here to my rescue...silly, reckless girl..." as his consciousness drifted away.

He was brought back to Azuchi Castle and you tended to his severe injuries and high fever always staying by his side, taking care of his needs, despite his critical situation, you were filled with hope that he will be okay. You held his hand in both of yours and looked at him waiting to respond to anything straight for 2 days without blinking an eye. Mitsuhide and others told you to take rest and he would look after Ieyasu but NAH🙅🏻‍♀️, you are not budging from his side anywhere making everyone worried for you as well. "Please open your eyes, Ieyasu", you said to him in a pleading voice. His hand twitched in your hands as a response. You looked at him hopefully, "Ieyasu, you can do it!", you said encouraging him to come into consciousness by gently caressing his hair. His eyes fluttered open as a response and you were overcame with a sense of relief as tears roll down your cheeks. Through his hazy vision, he could see you by his side, smiling with tears of happiness. "MC..", he murmured. "Congratulations Ieyasu, I am so happy that you made it back, you are so strong, I am so proud of you💗💯🥺", you said with a gentle voice holding his hand again which he heard very clearly and his heart felt so genuinely happy despite being in pain from the aftermath of the injuries. You quickly ran outside to give this great news to other warlords. As Mitsuhide, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Mitsunari was narrating Ieyasu about how worried you were when you got the news, your desperate plea to come to his rescue, the way you took care of him staying by his side, suddenly all the exhaustion of working hard to look after him for 2 days hit you alltogether and you fell asleep by his bedside before he could say anything more. He gently caressed your hair and this was the first time, Ieyasu smiled so affectionately at you, he had fallen in love head over heels over you❤🥰.

He realized that he fell in love with you way longer before, even though he was jealous seeing your innocence & warmth looking at you for the first time as it reminded him of his painful childhood yet he grown attached to it despite everything, the way you constantly followed him around with your cheerful warmth even after his harsh words to stay away from him on your first day at his castle, your down to earth nature with everyone around, the way you worked hard and with full honesty, the guilt on his heart when he acted like he didn't care but he felt like kicking himself for the hurtful expression in your eyes, the way your cheeks grew warm when he carried you in his arms, the way you smiled at him after you recovered, the way your eyes glittered with happiness even when he was extremely strict with you as a teacher, your happiness when he gifted you beautiful earrings, the way you encouraged him when he showed you his vulnerable state, the way you came to his rescue him despite the way you stayed by his side to tend to his wounds & needs when he was in critical condition, how could he have not fallen in love with a woman as amazing as you were💗?

Despite his hatred for being helpless and appearing vulnerable infront of anyone, all thanks to you, he got the strength to tone down his stubborness and recklessness. Dang! You even scolded him sounding like him for trying to get out of his bed, company really matters in terms of behaviour, mind you🤣. "What do you think you are doing, huh🙂?", he froze mid-way while trying to stand as he turned to look at you standing with a strained smile with a tray of rice porridge at the door that sent shivers down his spine making him immediately gulp down with unease as he retreated back into his bed. "You can't get out of the bed untill you are heal completely, not under my watch😠!", you said angrily as you shoved the spoon of the rice porridge into his mouth. "Be gentle😐!", Ieyasu grumbled loudly. "I am trying very hard but you make me so angry sometimes! Will it hurt you so much to listen to me atleast for now, huh? It's only for your own good😠🤦🏻‍♀️", you said angrily. He went silent and whispered a small sorry which made your eyes went wide, "What did you say🤔?", you asked him. "Nothing! Now feed me, the porridge is getting cold🍲!", said Ieyasu as he opened his mouth to you. You rolled your eyes like HIM as you continued taking care of him🙄.

A month later, when Ieyasu recovered properly from all his injuries under your care, a banquet was held in order to celebrate his recovery, there were cheers of happiness all around seeing you both arrived together, hand in hand in the hall as everyone looks at you both with welcoming eyes💗🤗😍. Soon enough, everyone were celebrating eat a lot of delicious food made by Masamune and drinking happily. "Ieyasu, do you really think, you should be drinking so much just after you recovered🤨?", you asked him seeing drinking sake cup by cup at a fast pace, eyeing him suspiciously. "Mmm...MC...you are so adorable....💗😍", Ieyasu slurred on his words. MC.exe.stopped working💓😳 Ieyasu giggled and hugged you😂💗🤗 infront of all the Oda warlords making them all gasp with surprise including Mitsuhide😱. You slapped your forehead, yep, he is quite drunk🤦🏻‍♀️. "It's rare for him to drink so much😏", Mitsuhide commented with a sly smirk towards you which made you quite flustered😳. You excused yourself and dragged Ieyasu in your room throwing his arm over your shoulder. "Now, come on, sleep here!", as you dragged him on the bed when he caught your wrist pulling you down under him. "Um..Ieyasu, what--😳", he suddenly pinned your arms above your head and kissed you deeply on the lips making your mind go blank. "You do some crazy things to my heart💓", he started showering you with kisses making you also feel desire growing for him in your heart. You wrapped your arms around him and pulled him down towards you. You and Ieyasu made passionate love💗 for the first time on that beautiful moonlight🌌.

Next day, you got up and quickly dressed up for the day when Ieyasu woke up feeling the headache. "What happened last night? My head is killing me!", he groaned clutching his head which made your heart ache with pain. You prepared the medicine & gave it to him, you also offered to give him head massage which he accepted reluctantly💆🏻‍♂️.

"Ieyasu, I want to say something important to you", you said sitting infront of him. "What is it?", he asked turning his curious eyes towards you seeing your serious expression. "I love you, Ieyasu!", you confessed your feelings for him deep inside your heart. You waited with a bated breathe to hear his response but his eyes widen with surprise, you were afraid that your confession may even destroy the caring bond you both built over months together but you couldn't deny your true feelings from him any longer and you wanted him to know, no matters if he feels the same or not for you. "What nonsense are you speaking, MC? I don't care about your feelings! I don't love you!", Ieyasu said coldly as he stood up. "Ieyasu, wait--" "This discussion is over!", he cut the topic in a sharp tone. "Lord Ieyasu, Lord Nobunaga requests your presence in the war council", a maid informed him. "I am coming!", he said as he strode outside the room. Despite your conviction, you felt your heart broke with such a harsh rejection of your feelings💔.

Ieyasu was given the order to go into the battle to crush the will of their enemy to fight ever again by Nobunaga. He thought that he will be the best person for this responsibility and Ieyasu also wanted to prove his strength in this battle. You also offered to take care of the forces as their nurse in the upcoming battle. Nobunaga gave you the permission knowing well you are the pride of them💯. Fierce battle took place between the forces. You were worried for Ieyasu as he only recovered just few days ago while you were taking care of the injured.

Suddenly your vision went blurry and your head spins, you fell unconscious. When you gain your consciousness, you found happy faces surrounding you in the relief camp. "Congratulations, Lady Tokugawa, you are going to become a mother!", the doctor informed you. "What?!", you exclaimed, happiness swell inside you when you touch your belly💗. "My baby", you muttered the words happily, tears rolling down your cheeks to received the news. But the happiness was short-lived when you received the news that the forces of Ieyasu were overwhelmed in terms of numbers & surrounded by the third forces. "I will bring the reinforcements from Azuchi Castle!", you announced. "Milady, but--", the maid interrupted but you showed a calm smile & your strong resolve to everyone💯🤗. You mounted your horse after avoiding the eyes of your enemy as you ride towards Azuchi with the emergency news🏇. Hideyoshi immediately took action as you both went towards the battlefield again. You noticed Ieyasu amidst the chaos when he finally won the battle & tension left your shoulders but you caught an injured enemy going behind Ieyasu to attack him with sword when he was catching his breathe after winning the battle, without wasting any moment, you quickly took your bow and arrow with trembling hands and shot the person in the leg causing him to fell down & groan in pain🏹. Ieyasu whirled around & realized that you saved his life. "MC!", he shouted as he came running towards you as all the tension left your body & before you could crumple on the ground, he caught you in his arms, thousand emotions ran across his face,"You are so reckless! I am so sorry! Thank you for saving my life", he hugged you tightly, voice too thick with emotion💛✨. You hugged him back,"I am so glad that you are alive and warm!", you said happily💗.

When you both were alone after a long time together in the tent, Ieyasu sat down across you as you wrapped bandage around his injured arm. You were suddenly overcame with the sense of worry about telling your condition. You were scared that he might not be ready to become a father of a child, he might feel burdened by the news, his rejection towards your feelings made a lump in your throat. "MC!", Ieyasu touched your shoulder when you came out of your trance. "Huh? Ieyasu? What?", you asked him. "Are you okay? You look extremely worried right now?", he looked at you with a concerned look on his face.

"Ie-Ieyasu..I..", you broke down into tears. "Why..why...are you crying😨?", Ieyasu panicked. "I..I..am..pregnant..", you finally confessed the news to him with tears. Ieyasu.exe.stopped.working 😳 He froze for a moment from the shocking news, it was too much for this poor boi to process everything in his mind, he suddenly remembered the passionate night you both shared with each other & made his cheeks warm🙈. "I..I am..going..to become a father?", he asked again after coming out of his shock😲. You nodded. "Please...please...don't hate our baby...", you hiccuped your words. "Wha?! What are you saying, MC😱?", exclaimed Ieyasu, completely taken aback. "You..you..don't love me..I didn't want...to burden you..", you cried which broke his heart when he realized your feelings. He embraced you in his arms as he wiped your tears away gently. "I am so sorry MC for hurting your feelings before, for being such a contrary fool, I love you so much, it hurts! Yes, I thought our marriage was nothing more than an political alliance but you took away my heart, you are the most beautiful blooming flower of my life🌹", he started speaking his true feelings slowly, caressing your hair gently. "You are speaking the truth?", you asked him, surprise written all over your face, startled by his revelation. "Yes, I am sorry for not being honest with you, when you confessed your love to me, I was baffled with the emotions swirling in my chest and tried to shut it down, I am so sorry!", he said with an apologetic smile. "I hate you", you cried into his chest. "I love you", he whispered softly rubbing your back. "Stop it!", you closed your eyes, tips of your ears red making him giggle happily😂.

He held your hands and for the first time, he showed the most beautiful smile as the tears roll down his face. "Thank you...thank you...so much....for giving me the chance..to become a father...I promise you that I will do everything to protect and love you and my dear child..my heart is bursting with happiness...I can't believe that I am feeling so much gratitude towards god for giving me you both as the blessings in my dark life..💗", Ieyasu said as he closed his eyes and let out a sigh filled with happiness. You gently wiped his tears as he embraced you again, "I am looking forward to your birth, my dear child", he said with a very soft and happy smile💗😍😇.

When you both returned to the Azuchi Castle, he announced the news of your pregnancy to everyone standing besides you, holding your hand tightly in his as you both smiled happily and the sun shining down on both of you with it's warmth💛🌞. Cue-Hideyoshi crying happily😭💗. Nobunaga smirking like a big child: Hooh~I am going to become uncle😏💗💯. Mitsuhide: This news is so much amusing, Ieyasu took his bold step quicker than I thought😏👍🏻, fufufu💛🦊. Masamune: Right Mitsuhide, our lad did a great job, I can't wait to pamper the baby kitten💙😁😻. Mitsunari: I am so happy for MC-sama and Ieyasu-sama💜😇! Ieyasu: Purple cabbage, stay away from my MC and my child😒💢. "Ieyasu, be nice🗣!", Hideyoshi lightly scolded him. You laugh happily with tears in your eyes seeing the excitement all around😂💛🥺💗😍.

He was very attentive during the time of your pregnancy💛. He was always by your side to tend to your needs💯. He even used to quickly finish all his work in order to spend so much more time with you💛🤗😍😘. His contrary side toned down so much which used to surprise you so much😳😱, "Are you really my Ieyasu😳?" "Ofcourse I am, what do you mean🤨? Wait a minute, are you okay😱? For improving your eyesight, you should consume this herbal drink💊", said Ieyasu as he started grinding the medicine. "WAIT! IEYASU! I didn't meant that! I am perfectly fine! Stop worrying so much😱😳!", you exclaimed, stopping him from being paranoid. Ieyasu being the best healer in Azuchi Castle would make you all type of massaging oils and medicines that would help in making the journey of your pregnancy go smoothly💆🏻‍♀️. He would always encourage you to do exercises which are healthy for your baby by doing it together with him🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️💛💯. He would welcome your mood swings without saying anything snarky in return which made Nobunaga smirked so much with amusement😏💯, Ieyasu wondered how his jaw has not fallen yet😒💢. He was being so different from his usual grumpy self which freak the hell out of Masamune😱 as he used to knock his door during late nights to order request quickly to make you something to help with your cravings🍜, the super grumpy warlord around Masamune was being nice to him😳😱 for sake of your happiness☺️💛. He would quickly carry you in his arms whenever he found you facing difficulty during walking around🤗. Ieyasu cried hearing the movement of his baby resting his head on your belly😭. He used to scold the heck out of Mitsuhide for even attempting to tease you so much🗣💢 which surprisingly shut him up🤐 and Hideyoshi was gawking at the reaction of Mitsuhide😱😳. Whenever Mitsunari was around you, he used to freak out so much😱 because he is known for his clumsiness & he definitely don't want any walking risk near you🙅🏻‍♂️😒. Ieyasu was a big walking pillow to you as he used to give you the most soft cuddles whenever you needed him🤗💛. He found your smiling face when you were in his arms so cute, he couldn't resist himself from kissing you so much at the moment making you purr adorably😘💛😍 fufufu. He would make you lay down your head on his lap and sleep whenever he is busy with his own work.You couldn't believe that there was a time when Ieyasu was so cold towards you and now looking at him made you realize how deeply you were in love with him💛🥰✨.

When the time came for the birth of your baby, Ieyasu panicked so much despite himself😱 which took all of the mental strength of Nobunaga NOT to punch him in the face to calm him down💢☺️👊🏻. He eventually calms down when all the other warlords told him that panic will not do anything to help you but create more trouble instead. When you were giving the birth, he stood by your side holding your hand, kissing you softly on the head😘💛, encouraging you throughout the process💗.

You both were blessed with a baby girl with emerald eyes like Ieyasu and brown hair like you👶💗. Ieyasu was so happy that he couldn't speak for a moment, his heart filled with happiness, tears stream down his cheeks when he holds her gently in her arms🤗😭💗🥰. "She looks so much like you, she is going to be wild girl like you💗🥰!", Ieyasu giggled happily seeing the innocent daughter😂💛. "Her nature is going to be like you!", you pouted at him😒 and he kissed it away😘💛. "Thank you so much for giving me my entire world, MC🌏💗! Thank you so much, I love you💛✨🥰", he said gently embracing you while kissing his daughter.🤗😘

EXTRA~

"Papa😍!", your little girl hugged her father as he took her in his arms 🤗💗 while he was feeding Wasabi🦌. "She is so naughty😩!", you sighed entering the room. "What did my naughty princess do again🤨💛?", Ieyasu asked, raising his eyebrows at her watching your tired expression. "I did no such thing Papa, hehehehe😂💗😍", she said giggling happily on his chest. No, Ieyasu definitely didn't melt at her daughter antics💗."Hoooh~ I will tell you Ieyasu😏, she ate a handful of your favourite spicy pickle today🌶, she tickled Nobunaga & ran away🏃🏻‍♀️ when he refused to give her his favourite konpeito, laughed loudly when Mitsunari accidentally fell down the stairs🤣, hit the boy in the town who was trying to flirt with her👊🏻, I think the only good thing she did today was helping Mitsuhide escape from the nagging of Hideyoshi🙅🏻‍♀️, I mean I also used to save him as well but Hideyoshi got angry at me many times for favouring him🤨, so I guess not🤔? Oh god, the stress is killing me🤦🏻‍♀️!", you said slapping your forehead, letting out a wry grin😅.

"I am so proud of you, my dear daughter, you did great💛😍🤗💯!", Ieyasu chuckles happily with a smirk listening to the adventures of his little girl😂💛. "Don't encourage her mischievous behaviour😒, I thought I would be the one who will pamper her to no ends and you will discipline her but the situation is entirely reversed, I see🤦🏻‍♀️😅!", you said shaking you head at both of them. Ieyasu was kissing and cuddling with his daughter so much that it made you jealous☹. "Someone has completely forgetten me, it seems😓!", you sighed sadly. "Who has forgetten about you, my silly and cute wife🤗💗😘?", you were suddenly embraced by him and kissed by Ieyasu, he nuzzled on your cheeks happily which made you giggle happily😂 & the little girl blush furiously🙈. "Mumma, Papa, love me too💛🥺!", the baby girl tugged on your and Ieyasu's sleeves with a needy voice💛🥰 & you both cuddle with her & kissed her happily on either side of her rosy cheeks together💛😘🥰. Ieyasu has truly got the whole world in his arms and he swears to protect and love them at all costs in his life👨‍👩‍👧💛💯✨🌎.

UwU Your writing is amazing !!!!! I loved the puppy and cat escapades \ ^o^ / . Would you be willing to do one in wich the mc is bullied by the extras, because you know, no magic and already a director, how would the boys react?? Will this be the end of the extras?!?? Ill be eternally gratefull. iTs okay if you cant throug. Hope you have a wonderfull day, and dont forget to drink plenty of water, and take breakes. Take care of yourself!!!!

Originally, I had planned this to be another chaos fic, but, I realize while writing this, that bullying is something that cannot be taken lightly. In the Twst Fandom, we also had our fair share of bullying from a few anons and that isn’t okay. 

So, in writing this fic, I made it more sentimental and just so you guys know, if you’re having a bad day or a bad time in general, feel free to talk to anyone, including me! Do not ever hold in your sadness. 

But anyway, I hope this fic lives up to your expectations anon! Thank you for requesting and have a lovely day!

What if you got bullied? (Ft. Everyone!!)

What was supposed to be a great day, turned out to be the worst day you could ever have at Night Raven College.

Your day started off normally, in fact, it started off well! You woke up with a good mood. You saw the furball that you loved so much beside you, sleeping peacefully. You smiled as you gently shook him awake.

“Grim, wake up, it’s already morning.”

“Fgnaaaaa, five… more minutes…” The sleeping creature said, swatting your hand away. You just shook your head at his antics.

“No can do, remember what Crowley would do if he caught us being late again.” You said and the creature’s eyes immediately shot opened and he jumped out of the bed, scurrying about to get ready for the day. You saw his slightly panicking self and giggled to yourself.

“(Y/N)! We shouldn’t be dancing and prancing! If we do, we’re going to be late!” Said the creature as he saw you heading over to your closet in a small waltz.

“Oh, Grim, I woke you up 10 minutes earlier than usual.” You said as you grabbed your uniform and headed to the bathroom. “You have 10 minutes to spare, take your time.” And you left the mumbling little furball in the room, face planting himself back into the bed after hearing your words.

The first half of your day had gone by rather quick and uneventful, not that you were complaining though. It’s nice to not have fights and chaos to settle every once in a while. You had a lot of laughs and smiles here and there with your group of first-year goofballs.

However, your peaceful day was about to turn upside down.

You were walking back to your classroom. Your friends were reserving your spot in Professor Trein’s class while you went to Crowley’s office to take care of some business involving Ramshackle Dorm. You and Grim made your way down the hall to the class.

Some students saw this and thought it was a great opportunity to make you trip and fall. So, one of them stuck out his leg while you were making you were walking. You didn’t have enough time to react and ended up falling for their antics. You immediately turned your body around so Grim, who was in your hands, would be shielded using your body. Your back hit the ground, HARD. A few gasps here and there were heard.

Grim rose his head from your chest to see you using your elbow to prompt yourself up.

“Fgnaaa! (Y/N)!” The furball immediately went to help you up by providing some support.

“Oh, sorry, didn’t see you there.” The student who tripped you said as his friends were laughing.

“School rules say that no magic or fights are allowed on school grounds.” His friends snickered.

“I’m fine… Just… Let me get up.” You said to Grim, who was still helping you.

“Pffft, look at her, so defenseless, she shouldn’t even be at this school!” The student said harshly.

“Hello?! Night Raven College is a place for prestigious mages. Not humans who can’t use magic and defend themselves.” Another student said to you.

“And to think she’s a prefect! Hahahahaha! You couldn’t even compare to the other dorm leaders!” His friend added and they all agreed.

“Looks like Crowley had made a huge mistake in bringing you here, why don’t you just crawl back to that sad excuse for a dorm of yours alongside your lousy furball!” And the group of students cackled at their snarky comments about you.

You just drooped your head down. Even though you didn’t want to admit it, but, they were right.

You had no magic, you were ridiculed at the entrance ceremony but, Crowley still gave you a place to stay and he even made you an official student here. While others struggled in getting here, you sort of knew why they hated you.

You tried your best to hold in your tears as you felt them pricking at the corner of your eyes while your friends defended you.

But, one comment had pushed past your boundaries.

“You’re not even considered to be human in my eyes! To me, you’re just trash. Go find a trash can and make yourself at home!”

Was… Was this what the other students really thought about you? Trash? Useless? No value? You closed your eyes, taking everything in, ignoring everything and everyone else around you. And proceeded to walk away without saying a single word.

Grim shouted for you but you payed no attention to him and just kept speed walking. Your walking slowly became running and you were then running as fast as you could, just letting your legs lead the way. After awhile of running at full speed, you had slowed down and stopped to take a breather. You looked around to see where you were in order for you to get back to school if needed.

However, you were back at Ramshackle Dorm. Your dorm. The tears you had been holding back flowed out as you took slow steps to the dorm you loved. You went in and closed the door behind you. Leaning your back against the door, you cried out your heart as you slowly slid down.

All the student’s words are stuck in your head, reminding you of what everyone else thinks of you. Your tears just kept flowing as you used your sleeves to wipe them away.

‘They’re right, I’m not meant to be here in the first place.’ You thought to yourself. ‘If everyone hates me so, then, I should just disappear.’ You said in your mind as you stood up and went to your room.

You packed some clothing and madol, ready to leave and hopefully start a new life outside of Night Raven College. You stuffed everything into a duffel bag and went to the main entrance of your dorm. You placed your hand on the doorknob, thinking of a route to leave the school undetected. But when you opened the door…

You were faced with everyone you ever knew.

And I mean everyone! Your group of best friends, the dorm-leaders and your seniors. They were all gathered in front of your dorm.

“Ahh! (Y/N)!! I’m so glad we found you!” Ace said as he, Deuce, Epel, Jack, Sebek and Grim came to hug you. You were surprised, too shocked to even register what had happened.

“We heard about the incident today, we already reported it to the headmaster.” Riddle said.

“But the first-years also reported that you were nowhere to be found. So, we came looking for you and your dorm was the only place we haven’t checked.” Azul continued.

“So, we all gathered here after our search!” Kalim concluded. The first-year boys pulled away from their hug and they noticed your bag.

“(Y/N)? What’s going on? Why are you leaving?” Epel asked you. Your eyes slowly travelled to the bag.

“Um…” You started but Deuce cut you off.

“Is it because of those damned students?” Deuce asked you. “Did they threaten you?”

Now, everyone’s eyes were on you. You averted their stares by lowering your head.

“No…” You said, dropping the duffel bag.

“They didn’t threaten me. But, what they said was true, was it not?” You lifted your head to let everyone see your tear-filled eyes. “I am just a human, I don’t possess any magic powers and yet here I am in this school for magicians. Not only that, but I am also the dorm leader for this dorm and I have been made a prefect! Isn’t that unfair to everyone else?” You said out loud, letting everyone hear you.

“I understand why they would have these kinds of thoughts. I understand why they hate me. That’s why I thought that if I have left, no one would have these kinds of thoughts ever again. After, I am the problem, aren’t I?” You concluded.

Truth be told, the boys were shocked. They… They have never seen this side of you. Heck, they never thought you would be capable of producing these types of thoughts. In their eyes, you were always so cheerful and kind, even when things got out of hand, you would remain calm and solve the problem to the best of your abilities. To think someone this pure and precious to them would have such depressing and degrading thoughts is beyond them.

However, this shocked Grim the most. The creature practically lived with you for so long and he didn’t even have a single clue of this side of you was scaring him.

“No, you’re wrong.” Grim lowly mumbled, but you couldn’t hear him.

“What?” You asked the furball.

“YOU’RE WRONG!” He practically screamed at you.

“Grim-chan…” Cater said softly.

“Even if you did leave, their thoughts won’t change! You’re not the problem! It’s them!” The furball yelled to you. Everyone was taken aback by Grim’s sudden outburst. But the first-years were quick to back him up.

“That’s right! It’s not your fault (Y/N)!” Ace said to you.

“Students at NRC are picked by the mirror of darkness. No one can easily come and go in this school.” Leona reminded everyone.

“Exactly, you arrived here for a reason.” Rook said.

“You assisted us with our overblots, not every child of man could do that.” Malleus said, representing every dorm leader.

“You had us working together in sync during the Inter-High Magift Tournament.” Ruggie added.

“You brought us together as friends.” Sebek stated.

“Most importantly, you let me have a place here at NRC. Because of you, we were only able to attend the school as a student.” Grim said. “No one has ever done something like that for me before.” The creature said as he slowly crawled up to you.

Everyone’s words had stunned you. You were so busy thinking about the negative comments about you, you forgot about all your relationships with your friends and seniors.

Like, how you always had tea in Heartslabyul. Riddle would always invite you to have tea with him and the others, you would enjoy the peacefulness of the dorm under the supervision of their dorm leader. Trey would always ask for your help in the kitchen and you would have a fun time with him while making sweets and desserts for everyone. Cater would whisk you away to either a selfie-session in the dorm’s gardens or a photoshoot in any new place that the he had found to be photogenic. Ace and Deuce would invite you to play croquet with them from time to time, of course, you were very careful with the flamingos and hedgehogs as you didn’t want to hurt any of them, but, you couldn’t resist in using the flamingo to bonk on either Ace’s or Deuce’s head every once in awhile. It’s okay though, the flamingo understood completely.

Like, how you always trained yourself in Savanaclaw. Leona would sometimes go easy on you if you were invited to join one of their many Magift activities, although, you weren’t sure if he was pitying you or he was just being lazy in general. You would help Ruggie prepare food for everyone as you knew he could use an extra hand or two, it also meant you could pick up a new recipe here and there and you got to taste test all the food. Jogging sessions with Jack were also a normal thing, hey, if you’re going to be joining in Magift tournaments without magic powers, the least you could do is train yourself physically.

Like, how you always felt welcomed at Octavinelle. Azul would welcome you into the VIP lounge when Mostro Lounge was extremely busy and you couldn’t find a place to sit at. You would also help out around Mostro Lounge when you saw that the place was packed to the brim. Usually, Jade would entrust you with drinks while he and Floyd went to prepare food for everyone else. When Mostro Lounge closed its doors for the day, you would enjoy some tea with the three underwater mermen or you and Grim would play around with Floyd, pranking other students and dorm leaders. Heck, you and Floyd even pulled off a few enormous pranks against the staff members.

Like, how you would be invited to feasts and parties at Scarabia. Kalim would always have a big smile on his face whenever he invited you to go dine with him at Scarabia. Jamil always appreciated your help in the dorm, let it be helping him prepare food for the party that Kalim had just decided to have five minutes ago or just keeping an eye on the dorm leader while he went to settle some other business involving the dorm.

Like, how you would have small makeovers at Pomefiore. Every time you walked past the beauty-queen/king, you were immediately stopped by him, because either your bow or tie was crooked or your hair was a mess, well no matter the case, Vil would fix it for you. When you visited Pomefiore from time to time, Vil would take the chance to give you high quality beauty products to try and he would always go on a rant on how you should always take care of your image. Sometimes, Rook would sweep you away just to go on a mini hunt with him. Although, let’s be real here, you two always ended up spying on Leona at the Botanical Gardens while he skipped his classes. Epel would whisk you away to his room and teach you to on how to carve apples. You managed to carve a few of the staff members and even your friends onto the apples, of course, you would carve on a few extra features onto your masterpieces. Like, say, a moustache for Ace or funky-looking ears for Crowley. You also helped to keep Epel in check whenever Vil and Rook were teaching the first-years on table manners and proper etiquette.

Like, how you would enjoy mini-gaming sessions at Ignihyde. Usually, you would initiate the session with Idia. You two ended up playing both Co-Op and PvP games. While playing games that require you to cooperate, the two of you would discuss your plans and pick out the best course of action. The same cannot be said for Free-For-All games though. A few minor insults here and there are thrown between the two of you. But at the end, the victor will always do a little happy dance before continuing onto the next game. You loved Ortho like your own brother! Always treating him to various desserts and helping him drag his brother out from his room. Ortho looks up to you like a sister as well. There may have been a few times he’s actually called you big sis.

Like, how you would go on quaint little walks at Diasomnia. If you needed a breather, you would usually find yourself at Diasomnia. Due to a large forest surrounding the building and the silent atmosphere the dorm provides, it is the exact place where you would go to take a walk to clear your mind. Malleus would sometimes accompany you on these quaint little walks. You and Tsunotaro would chat about your everyday lives and problems the first-years would create. Lilia would make some tea for you after your walks and you would enjoy the tea and bits of biscuits and crumpets alongside the tea. You would also break up arguments between Silver and Sebek. The two would get into fights about the tiniest of things, from blaming each other for losing track of Malleus to blaming each other for not preparing for a test. Sometimes, Silver would accompany you on your walk instead of Malleus and you two would also have little chats here and there. Other than that, Sebek’s view of you actually improved after befriending him. He used to think you were a powerless human as well but after spending time with him and your friends, he realizes that you aren’t just any human being.

But for Grim, you had the greatest impact in his life. You accepted him, you took care of him, you loved him. And he loved you back, just as much. To him, you were his family since he had never had one.

In conclusion, you matter.

You. Are. Of. Value.

You are precious to them, you bring peace to them, you brought them together as a whole.

Once that thought had nested in your brain, you realized that you were foolish in having these thoughts in the first place.

“I’m sorry…” You said, crying. Grim went and hugged you.

“It’s not your fault… Just know that we’re here for you.” Said the furball as everyone also came and comforted you. You had spent the day with them as a whole, you watched a few movies, horror movies in that case. It was fun hearing the dorm leaders and their members scream shout yell made a loud sound whenever a jumpscare appeared.

You guys also played games together, but, I am not allowed to share any details because I actually know nothing. No, I’m totally not being threatened here Reader-san, don’t worry about me.

Send help pls.

Also, after the bullying incident, the boys were a bit more protective around you when in class/school. Usually, your group of first-years would accompany you wherever you go, let it be from your dorm to the cafeteria or from the class to another dorm, at least one of them will be at your side. And when they couldn’t be there, either a dorm leader or an upperclassman would be near you. Any student who seem like they have bad intentions to either you or Grim, would face unspeakable consequences.

And I mean unspeakable. So, I cannot inform you of these consequences as I am under an oath to not reveal anything. Um. Yeah. Good luck persuading the boys to tell you : )

—gen z mc with uesugi-takeda + misc. forces

ahh, i’m so glad people liked my gen z oda hcs! lol it’s usually pretty slow from my writing blog experiences until now, but i’m rlly happy! i was planning to do u-t and the others but then i decided to stop at oda and continue another day. thx for the asks tho! and yeah, i do take requests but it’s more of a pasttime, since this whole blog is just my stupid ideas written out and shared out there.

also someone said that a gen z mc could be old enough to romance the warlords, like, early twenties. and yes, very fair if u wanna romance ur mans with memes and existentialism go for it!! i just think it adds more to the comedy side of this child they have to babysit, while not fearing death or any consequences from their dumb of Ass decisions. someone who fears no death and armed with no braincells is a fool, but a Child who fears no death and armed with no braincells is also a fool, but more bizzare and has That Vibe y’know

@niphredil-14​ and @arthotsglasses​

tw: s*icidal, violent jokes treated in a light manner

also spoilers to some things of their characters

—kenshin:

who is this,, , sassy lost child??

he first saw you prepared to throw hands with ronins who were being Elite Dickheads. ofc, armed with nothing compared to the sworded-adults, he had to interfere.

no matter how cold he treated you, masking his secret !!!-like concern, you seemed so unfazed through it. you still interacted with him like normal,,,,, why?? do you want a death wish?

and each time he threatened you with,, anything, you responded with, “the only one who gets to hurt & kill me, is ME”

...... what?

he’s convinced you’re the biggest fool of a person. and he’d be right but even so, he has a weirdly strong need to protect you as you two got closer. you’re often with sasuke, so it’s harder to avoid you.

even with all the Horrible jokes you make on a daily basis, if your passionate side with everyone having equal rights of being treated as human, for him it shows a side of you that makes you seem precious and pure and kind hearted.

and the overprotective side increases.

which is, ,, a bit problematic sometimes cause you have the tendency to target and piss off anyone in a 10 meter range by just one (1) sassy comment, along with your lack of impulse control and blurting out everything in your mind. it’s made you a lot of short enemies in the sengoku period, and kenshin would always be ready to slice them down behind you.

sasuke has to tame him down with his Masters degree in kenshin-wrangling.

at banquets, kenshin would often have you beside him. if you’re too young for sake do age for drinking exist in sengoku? probably not. it’s more of sasuke advising for him to not give you alcoholic drinks he’ll have you pouring for him or just munching away at pickled plums or food.

—shingen:

(ngl i kinda had a hard time with this since it’s erasing a big part of his overall character,,, flirting)

once he heard the news that oda had taken in somone as young as you during honno-ji,, ,,,he’s in a very “how dare that demon >>:( taking such a pure soul,....”

and when you’re taken to kasugayama as a captive, you’re,,, surprisingly very calm and whelmed. you don’t have much sign of fear or anxiety in your overall demeanor meanwhile you’re busy dissociating and spacing out to feel those

you actually don’t seem to hate your captor. but shingen isn’t sure if your ‘fingerguns’ is a good thing or not cause it depicts you pointing guns @ him,, (dw is good shingen)

while yes being held hostage—no matter how good you’re being treated—isn’t ideal and kinda not very cash money, you consider shingen v chill. man has a kindheart!! “i diagnose you with good vibes.”

if he ever sees your righteous side, as everyone else, he’ll deeply admire you. he himself is someone who believes in such as well. and hearing the circumstances in the modern world regarding those things (blm, etc.) his heart truly does go out for you. he feels sympathy for such a young person like you having to take action

also your dirty humor around him, echigo’s player, kind of makes him question where and how you learnt it

and,, his illness.

through getting straight to the point and not falling for it each time he changes subject/dodges the question, you managed to get to the bottom of his illness. shingen himself thinks it’s not something you have to burden with knowing—you’re so, so young.

but that doesn’t matter to you. the world’s given you such a shit time, you’re mature enough to understand the situation at least.

and as he finishes his explanation, all there was is silence. it felt wrong to say any of your usual quips,, so all you did was slowly came there and hugged him.

that was more than what he’d ask for.

—sasuke:

oh hell yeah

you are in your element with him. the chillest guy to talk to, and probably the first one you’re the closest to

your phone was dead after like 2 days of use, and you were miserable while hideyoshi, like a typical parent, told you to go outside and into town. sensing your bad mood, sasuke asked what’s up. you deadpanned, “my phone game ended and now i’m ready to commit not breath.” you oslemnly look out in the bustling streets and clutched your fist like an Anime Protagonist, “those boomer memes were right all along... i am absolutely Miserable and Useless(^TM) without it.”

in response, you could’ve sworn he did the Anime Glasses thing as well, “then we at team Moderately Awesome Sengoku Ninja are happy to announce the launch of a DIY phone charger, made with the electricity from a fruit and the main functionality of a solar panel. and has more durability than samsung’s.”

there were Stars in your eyes now. with a big grin, you thank him, “i’d die for you, sasuke.”

“then perish.” he said with a blank look. (yukimura, in the bg: ???!!!??!??!?)

the next day he consentually breaks in through the ceiling and gives you the weird contraption. you’re now saved, soul-wise.

the memes start coming and they don’t stop coming from the two of you. in any situation. whether it’d be at a teahouse, or at a battlefield that can determine your life and death.

and you can have discussions about current world events, or the past ones, with him and he’d understand completely what you’re talking about. it’s those rare nights when you’ve been thinking and have a deep conversation with him in his room, and as an adult, it makes for interesting results as well.

the others are endlessly confused, but you’re both so unapologetically yourselves.

and he’s super protective if the circumstances are tough. he feels bad for dragging another person in the sengoku with him—much less when they’re so young like you.

if you’re enough of a lil shit, once you’re taken into kasugayama, in the nights where you can’t sleep because brain at what would be 3 am, you’d probably trudge over to his room and wake him up to tell him what kind of mind-blowing shit you realized.

—yukimura:

when he saved you from falling to your death, your reaction already set off weird Vibes inside him. what do you mean, “you stopped me from fleeing this fleeting world by the sweet embrace of death” ?!?!?! are you crazy?? yes

he doesn’t waste time getting blunt with you at all either.

once he goes into azuchi as a merchant, he silently observes you talking to sasuke for a bit. what’s with your weird language?? and crude humor???? never in his life has he met someone in your age act like that wtf

even so, he still operates on the basis of ‘‘if sasuke trusts you, i trust you’’, no matter how utterly concerned you make him feel

you have a dirtier mind than him! unsurprisingly. along with everyone else, you often tease the poor soul, a nd you’d gladly tell him what the innuendoes mean ( 69, etc.) and maybe sprinkle in some gay jokes in there

and why do you keep mentioning this “bromance between him and sasuke” ?? what us,,, a bromance????? and why is sasuke in it??

he takes you out to teahouses to eat chestnut dumplings and other desserts with you. you always seem to target the one he doesn’t like the most and have a bit of banter

your relationship is built on banter but what’s different rlly

he treats you much more maturely than other people your age. as in, he doesn’t pull back his punches in words most of the time. you don’t seem to around him also, it looks like.

and, he’s also very protective of you. he regards you as his little sibling, as rat as you may be. and he does care about you—he might just be a bit unwilling to say it

—yoshimoto:

you think he’s very chill, if a bit unique but who were you to judge. and he is, if you ever meet him in echigo or even azuchi

his big liking to art and something of apathy to people is osmething you can respect. there’s something about that kind of Vibe that you find oddly a mood.

and oh boy oh boy you wasted no time pulling up your phone and showing images of what art is in the future. whether it’d be a screenshot of anime, fanart, aesthetic-like ones, palette-themed—the whole shabang. 

and, somehow, you were left ranting to him  about how some artists in the future get it so shitty for theft, reposting, not crediting, the list goes on (please be a decent human being to artist, sincerely the author) and he can’t help but just listen in silence and kind of thinking about how you’re so passionate about the Struggles of artists. and it isn’t something he sees often in the sengoku era—where war rules most things.

and he does find art from the modern times interesting, how they’re so different and vast in styles. and not only that, it’s not like the future only has one major style like then, each hand can draw such different pictures and still have beauty in each. he appreciates and admires that.

and he does tell you his thoughts ^ while you give your own insight. it’s so fascinating to see someone like you having strong opinions on this.

because, well, rn art is a big thing in our lives as we’re stuck inside. a part of entertainment is looking at any media of art—and he finds his view of art and yours quite the same. you two came from a time of turmoil (one moreso than the other) but still think art isn’t exactly irrelevant just because it isn’t a cure to diseases or the Ultimate Weapon.

you had to Surgically Remove him from your phone so you can use it and to stop him from draining your battery looking at the art

and he often drags you out to town and admire pieces when you’re holing yourself in too much. your comments are always unknown to him, “radical”, “that’s one i can vibe with ngl”, and the list goes on.

and you occasionally call him pretty boy as a compliment rlly

—kennyo:

when you first saw him at honno-ji, and he won’t forget the one (1) line you gave him, all you said to his warning of ooo spooky demons was, “that’s lit fam gtg tho”

and that alone was enough to stun him for a few seconds

honestly you told the others of your meeting with kennyo before they told you it could be kennyo. just a throaway line of “oh yeah there was this dude with a scar across his face.” / “,,, ,....that’s kennyo. he’s really dangerous actually—” / “oh, poggers”

you’re probably kind of half the reason the oda forces found who dun it.

and it was an eye for an eye, kennyo himself found out that you were their child chatelaine, and very close to the others. as per his villain-schedule, he kidnaps you .

he laments about how “such a pure soul such as yours is not to be stained by the demon’s hands”

oh how Wrong he was.

you were the definition of the opposite of pure. and you seemed unfazed, which surprised kennyo but shrugged it off. he was willing to face you screaming and panicking, along with shouldering the sin of doing the deed. but instead, he was met with a raised eyebrow and, “this is unexpected and probably not welcomed but what am i doing here.”

he was stunned for a moment before explaining what he can. 

“......... fuck.”

he cringed ever so slightly at your curse. but your attention seems to stray so quickly off of the fact that you were bounded and helpless, to the fact that you have the man doing unspeakable things to civilians and you absolutely don’t approve.

throwing your common sense to maybe be civilized, you went off on a rant of how human rights and how to not be an ass to him. all he could do was just listened, shocked to even cut you off.

when he did, he gave the whole ‘unsaved demon’ shtick, and you weren’t taking that kinda shit. he believed he was truly unsaved—you knew that. but that doesn’t make it okay.

eventually, he left you with a cold end of the conversation.

he admires your spirit in a way—but with what he’s experienced,,, it’s a bit of unreachable for him.

if at any point you saw the soft side of his with animals, you just gaped at him for a split second and whispered, “the gap moe is strong with this one.”

also old man died inside when you said that you’d fight god, along with many things.

all in all, to him, you’re insufferable. but weirdly,, fascinating.

you’ve totally ok boomer’d him once cause he rlly looks old

—motonari:

,,. if your speech to kennyo was bad, he’s going to rant hell.

motonari already knew you were interesting even when his men just spied on you. your behavior, so brash and impulsive, is going to be so fun to have, he thinks.

through some planning to stir up more chaos, he kidnaps you and brings you unto his ship. same as kennyo, you showed no clear sign of surprise, and that’s when he decided you were either used to this in any way, or a fool. both answers, he liked.

you’re kind of really confused on why he’s doing what he’d doing. “i get it, i like to stir up chaos myself but it’s harmless,, most of it—but not until the people are in danger, bitch.”

and by that line, motonari leans towards you with a deadly smirk, “now, i can bite, ‘kay kid? you don’t wanna be in the receiving end... do you?”

“do it, coward.”

and before he could let out even a wheeze of laughter, you continued on on a lecture of, again, not being a dick and letting people live their life in peace. and much less all of this damage, for what? chaos?? yeah you wanted to see the world burn but it wasn’t literally.

however, his patience was running thin. he shuts you up forcefully, and leaves.

even so, after a cooldown period, he still talks to you (,,,, well, that’s kind of a generous term) because, right he was, you were so fun in his eyes.

an interesting observation he made,,, was that you picked up on his big dislike of physical contact. and he’d think with how annoying you were at times, that you’d weaponize it. but you didn’t—in fact, you kept your space (not that you were planning to get close) and respected his boundaries.

he thinks you a bit of peculiar for that decision, some wary, and perhaps naive.

one of the days—the more dangerous ones—he was planning to take you to the oda as bait or something. and you weren’t taking it like that. two days before arrival, a storm racked up. you stood upon the edge of the ship with the rest of the crew watching you like you were a madman.

“the oda won’t want me if i’m dead, would they now?”

motonari stands in his composure, guffawing, “all i need is to make sure they believe you’re alive, kid.”

a smile that showed absolutely no fear and 1000 percent spite spread in your face, “not unless i decimate my own body until all the trail left is my blood. the only one who gets to do that shit to me, is me.”

finally, a look of wavering shows in his face.

you were saved last minute,, and the rest is history.

Ghosts’ Journey (End): The Biggest Assholes of Black Swan Bay

Because my Fanfic uses a blended version of the game and the original Black Swan Bay Lore, I had to reconfigure the relationships between the 3 Black Swan Bay surviving orphans as jolly rivals, friends and siblings. While their relationship is devoted and loving, growing up in an environment like that doesn’t create Polly-anna characters. I hope you agree and enjoy what I have created here.

The hardest thing about restraining emotions was controlling your breath.

Adrenaline shot liters of blood through your body at high rates and required you to breathe at high rates. If you didn’t, you could go dizzy or pass out.  Your heart quivered with her name and your vision went blurry. Renata… Renata!  The secret you learned was to yawn. A deep inhale, a big stretch and a slow exhale could effectively throw a wrench in the stress loop without blowing your cover. You blink rapidly to clear your eyes, finally let out a big, rude yawn and look completely bored, rubbing at them as though sleepy.

Renata was now Zero. She was likely in disguise to hide from Herzog.  It made sense for her to be after him too. She couldn't contact you but she was here now because your paths were always on the same trajectory.  It's just now that they happened to cross.

You were best friends in the past, but also rivals in combat. To those unaware of her abilities, you and Renata would be pretty evenly matched. But Renata had the skill of deep analysis. The longer you fought, the more she could analyze you and the more she analyzed you the less likely your chances of victory became. You would seem evenly matched and then she would just take you apart like you were an amateur.

She’d somehow survived the gunshot wound and the bombing. She’d somehow infiltrated Cassell and Hydra. Her Black Swan Bay training and behavior would have quickly made her disappear among the rank and file of Hydra. You felt it would have made it easy for you to get inside and fit with Hydra’s militaristic structure after all. That’s why when she talked about how deep she had made it into Hydra’s organization, you knew it had to be Renata.

 "In the opinion of Hydra, they are close to total victory. The remaining job is to get rid of the remnants of the Devil Clan, and the King General is, of course, the highest priority target for removal, with you being a close second.” Renata continues to speak to Chime with the cold robotic reality. “You once tried to kill the King General, but in the opinion of the Hydra family, it was just an internal fight. You are an evil spirit, you have long since violated the Clan rules, and the Hydra clan cannot tolerate someone like you." Zero stared into Chime’s eyes, "Your brother also believes that you have no need to exist in this world. He has seen the evil side of you with his own eyes."

"When you spell it all out like that, things do seem hopeless, don't they?" You turn to Renata as if she'd just lectured you like a schoolteacher. The sibling rivalry between two old friends warms up your heart and calms the panicked and fevered response of your sudden reunion. 

She thought she knew everything and she did know a lot. You were impressed yet again. Renata had spent all this time on the pulse of Hydra, but she didn’t understand Chisei the way Chime did. She shadowed Bondarev's puppet while you followed Herzog's puppet. And it was Herzog's puppet that was the key. You were third behind her, but that is an elite ranking that could shift and be challenged. 

You could not wait to hug her fiercely. But like most precious things in Black Swan, you would have to do so in secret. Her cold disheartening words to Chime reminded you of your rivalry and you wouldn’t be bested by throwing open your arms and sobbing like a naïve child.

“Although there is no proof, I will still do my best to convince my brother." Chime said slowly, "This is the only chance."

"You think we need his power?" Caesar asked.

"No, this is the only chance I have to reconcile with my brother." Chime said softly, "He was determined to be a friend of justice, so he couldn't accept his brother who was an evil spirit. For so many years, I never met with him again. Sometimes I hate him, but we are the only ones in the world who are truly family. Just because of my bloodline, he killed and abandoned me in a well? What in the world is more important than the fact that he is my brother and I am his brother? Justice? What is justice? I don't think there is any justice in this world. Those are just words that adults make up to fool children. But he believes that he can give up everything for the sake of justice. Is his kind of person just or ruthless?"

Everyone was silent, heavy with the sadness of his words. You couldn’t kill Chance even after he lost control. You only held out hope that he would snap back to normal. But Chisei killed him. Yes, you felt it was ruthless.  Not just. 

"But more than that, I was afraid to face him. I was afraid of the way he looked at me. That I made him feel dirty. I thought that I would never be my brother's friend, that I would only be his enemy. I have done more bad things than just the murder case in the village. I am the Dragon King of the Devil Clan, and I have the blood of many people on my hands. How can I go back to face him?

"But just today I suddenly figured out something. Why did I want to kill the King General so badly? It is not only because I hate him, but also because it's the only thing I can use to ask my brother for mercy. I wanted to cleanse my own mistakes with the blood of the King. Then maybe there could be a slight chance that I can become his fellow traveler again. But I failed. I can't do anything anymore nowadays. Ruri Kazama is still a useful person for my brother, Chime Gen is not. But even so, I still want to reconcile with my brother. I will tell him everything I know, and, as for my future, it is up to him to decide. If he decides to kill me, it will be the right end for me. I have killed so I will be killed, is there anything more fair in the world than that?"

You look up at him with uncertainty. He wasn’t thinking of throwing his life away was he? No. Chisei won’t kill him. Because… 

You suddenly understand where his train of thought was going. Chime was weaker but he was still very smart, able to weave his words to great effect, just like you.

 Chime bowed deeply: "Thank you for all your care these days. You did not treat me as a stranger. Except for you, only those girls who met me by chance would treat me as normal."

"Have you thought it over? If your brother really decides to execute you, Cassel Academy can't shelter you, Japan is your brother's territory." Caesar said to Chime with some concern.

"I have thought it over. It is true that the danger is great, but there are always people in this world with whom one has to reconcile no matter how much one hates them. Because without them, you will not even be able to talk about life."  Chime was silent, looking at Caesar, Chu Zihang, ‘Zero’, Lu Mingfei and Fingel. But there were no more questions. “And to that end, as a precaution, I would like to inform you that MC and I will wed tomorrow.”

Caesar’s eyebrows raise to his hairline. 

Lu Mingfei jumped up with his eyes wide at you. “What? You're marrying him? You hardly know each other!”

“That’s not the point.” ‘Zero’ grumbled, crossed her arms and looked away. She knew exactly what you were doing. Internally, you stick your tongue out at her.

Fingel was stunned and then he grinned. His arms shot up into the air. “YES!”

Caesar slowly mouthed the word ‘Wow’. “You were just waiting to throw that out there weren’t you, Chime? No wonder you're so confident.”

Chu Zihang nodded, though he seemed to be hesitant to completely endorse the plan. "At a celebration like that, it will be harder for him to reject you."

“Hey, don’t get us wrong. I love Chime. I don’t want to wait and I want things to go well. I’m sure you understand, Caesar.” You say, keeping your earnest character and trying not to cackle like a villain.

Lu Mingfei continued to sputter. “But… MC! Where are you getting married? You’re not planning on having a wedding in a … place like this?”

“Where else would I have it?” You blink at him.

“This place is.. Uh… well… it’s not very uh…”

“Pure?” You grin. “Well, Chime and I practically have the same father figure. So isn’t it kinda like marrying your step brother? Why would getting married in a women’s club be what you immediately point to as impure? If anything, it’s the cleanest part about this... in fact-”

Lu Mingfei clapped his hands over his ears. "I don’t want to hear any more!”

"MC,  be nice…" Caesar drawled. "So it's settled then?" Caesar tossed the car keys on the bar, "Tomorrow night right here, we negotiate with Gen Chisei at MC’s and Chime’s Wedding, which amounts to a negotiation between the Academy and Hydra."

"We can negotiate with the leader of the Hydra on behalf of the academy?" Chu Zihang frowned, "If we make any wrong decision, it will be counted against the academy."

"No, if we make any wrong decision, we can only bear the result ourselves." Caesar lit a cigar, took a deep puff and exhaled green smoke, "Everyone has to pay the price for what they do. If we believe in the wrong Gen brother, or if Chime’s judgement is wrong, the result has to be counted on us."

 "Zero said that the Hydra opened the Well of Bones, but until we find the sacred skeleton, it’s too early to confirm that the White King is really dead. That thing is different from any opponent we have encountered before. It lives by devouring souls. As long as humans still have greed for evolution, it can always find a way to resurrect." Chu Zihang said, "If the White King completely awakens, it is unknown whether Tokyo will survive. There are tens of millions of people in this city. Can we decide the course of history?"

Everyone was silent.

“A wedding that will decide the fate of the world? How dramatic!” You just smile at the thought of Herzog salivating over his grand entrance to such a momentous event and pull your hair back behind your ear. What a perfect trap for Herzog. 

"Let's think about it, if it was not us in this position, but the principal, what would he do?" Caesar suddenly said.

“'Hesitation will only leave more time for the opponent to prepare.'" Lu Mingfei said. "'Mistakes happen, but a hero who makes a mistake is still better than a fool who didn’t try.' I've heard him say this." 

Caesar took out a bottle of whiskey from the liquor cabinet, poured it into glasses, and distributed a glass to each of you: "If Chime and MC can have the courage to meet Chisei Gen on the day of their wedding, then we should also have the courage to negotiate with the Hydra. I think we all are unanimous, right?"

"Since I'm the leader of this group, if we do something wrong, I'm the one most responsible." He drank the liquor in his cup in one go. 

Damn straight. If it weren’t for Caesar’s meddling and stopping you from running away, none of this would have happened! You take the whiskey and down it.

You would be counting on him to spring the trap for Herzog, but due to issues of ‘leaks’ you wouldn’t ask him what his plan was. He would take responsibility for that.

 Zero put down her glass: "You guys are sure you won't leave the nightclub now, right?"

“Yes, is there any question?" Caesar asked.

"Then call me an orthopedic surgeon, and I'll need a separate bedroom." Zero suddenly fell forward. The hand that had been gripping the edge of the bar was loosened. She had been relying on this hand to keep her balance, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to sit down.

Lu Mingfei swooped down to catch Zero. She was completely unconscious. The bandage covering her knee was soaked with blood.

"She's hurt badly! Damn it! We need to call the doctor!" Caesar untied the bandage and looked at it, frozen.

"There are metal fragments embedded in the bone!" Chu Zihang flicked on the light and did a brief examination.

It took everything in you not to run to her side. But Renata had made her statement clear. Reunions could happen later. She outranked you and you would obey out of both respect and the fact that she had carefully crafted this identity for who knows how long. You wouldn’t be a good friend of you ruined it.

 "She should have told us long ago that she has no sense of pain?" Caesar said.

No, Caesar, she was hurt this whole time, but once again, as a Black Swan Alum, she knew how to hide it. The nurses were cruel and merciless. If they were in the right mood, they would look for a child to beat to take it out on them and hear them cry. But because Renata and you learned to never cry, they would quickly grow bored of you. Eventually, they learned that it was useless to beat you and wouldn’t bother.

Renata adapted by just suffering without expression. You adapted by joking around with your tormentors until they laughed. Once they were laughing, their beatings would lose their ferocity and even stop completely. So Caesar could be forgiven for not sensing that Renata was close to passing out.

“Is she a friend of yours?” Chime was close to you. 

Your eyes were fixed on the scene before you and there was some tension in your hand as it held the glass. You loosened your grip and looked away. “No. I don’t know her.”

“She must be sent to the hospital!" Caesar said, "A wound like that has to be treated immediately, I'll drive."

"No, it's best not to move her and we shouldn’t leave the safehouse. Call an orthopedic surgeon like she asked.” You say loudly, commandingly. 

Everyone turned to you. Your voice and your demeanor suddenly resembled Zero’s! And even though you only met her for a few seconds, you were immediately deferring to her orders over Caesar’s!

Chu Zihang agreed, "In this case she has to lie flat immediately, the metal fragments are grinding her bones."

 "Why didn't you tell me earlier when the injury was so serious?" Lu Mingfei propped Zero up so she could lie flat on the sofa. 

You stare in shock.

Renata hated being touched by people she didn’t know! You were fine and Z was fine. Did Renata know Z’s brother? She had to. Even in her weakened state, if any of the others held her close like that, she’d knock them out!

"I had to make sure you wouldn't evacuate immediately. If you were going to leave, I'd still have to walk, and that wouldn't leave me time to see a doctor." Zero opened her eyes slightly. "I can't be useless. Useless people will be left behind."

You smile and duck your head as she recites Z’s little mantra. You had a lot to say to that girl. But now was not the time.

You get back to your room and it’s nearly 4 am. You can’t believe how much of a nightowl you were becoming. You wanted badly to talk to Z and give him a piece of your mind, but you hadn’t had time to look for the last bug in your room. Fingel was still recording everything you did in this space. So Z would not appear here. You put on Swan Lake again, sit down with a glass of vodka, and prop a cigar on the ashtray. You light it to smell the sweet tobacco smoke.

When Hydra researched you, they only found you were a ‘Siberian girl’ and did their best to make your room that of a Siberian girl. But Mingfei said that your world was composed of the people you know. And one of those people was Dr. Herzog. That’s why the smell of tobacco was relaxing. It was what relaxed you around Caesar… and the smell of it attracted you to Ruri Kazama and Chime.  You lift the glass if fine spirit. “Hm… A toast?”

Renata was here, you were here, Z was here. You’d imagined that they were all ghosts and you were just being emotional when you felt their presence. But they had all been here this whole time! Z had carefully hidden Renata from you and refused to give you much information. After all, you were still a low ranker. It was likely that Renata knew you were here too! Those jerks. You can almost see their smug, haughty, loving faces. You let out a soft little hiss and stand up again and pull two more chairs from the dining room table into the sitting room. Their ghosts sat down in the chairs.

“That’s better.”

With the ghostly figures of Z and Renata in your mind, in this secret place, everyone knew each other and deep down you feel the warmth of home for the first time. “As I was saying,” you raise your glass again. “Raise a toast!” You look at them all and shake your head. “To the glorious and bloody wedding! And… to the biggest assholes of Black Swan Bay!” You laugh and down shot after shot, not caring that Fingel was listening.

ONE-SHOTS 

Just a dance (Zoey x MC)

—————————————————————— 

“No.”

“What?”

“I'm not doing it.” Poppy laughed, trying to hide her anger towards them.

“Farmsville, come on…”

“I said no.”

The strawberry blonde closed her fist so hard she could almost feel the earpiece cracking.

“Honestly… This seems a little extreme. And I will never support any kind of hurtful pantomime.” Those icy eyes pierced right through her, a strength and courage radiating from them so powerful that Poppy would´ve been turned on if she wasn’t very pissed.

“Am I missing something? I thought you hated Chloe as much as we do.” Oh, right. There was Bradley. She almost forgot about him.

“As we do?” The irony in Beck’s voice was so palpable that she could see it slapping Bradley right in the face. “Has Chloe ever done anything to you that I´m not aware of, Hollywood?” Beck smiled tired, as to making fun of themselves. “Zoey was right; I shouldn't have come… “The simply mention of that girl´s name set on fire her blood to an unexpected level.

“That bitch…”

As Beck tried to walk away, Poppy intervened, full of rage.

“I didn’t think of you as one of those who´s afraid to actually do something!

And that´s where Beck stopped, as if something made click inside them. They turned around and for the first time in her life, someone’s look made her feel naked, completely exposed. The more Beck analyzed her, looking for something they only knew, the more vulnerable she felt. That moment lasted just a couple of seconds, no-one around them notice it but both of them.

“You’re right.” They finally said, reaching out for the earpiece which Poppy gave them doubting, giving out the other one to Bradley. For some strange reason she didn’t want them to participate anymore, but now they were necessary, it was too late. The operation had already begun, so she didn’t have other choice but linked her arm with theirs, walking into the dance floor.

“I´m counting on you tonight, Farmsville. Don’t disappoint me.” Once on the dancefloor, Poppy gave Beck a light shove and took a deep breath, trying desperately to erase any residue of the feeling they made her have. “You take the left side of the club. I´ll take the right. And remember, don’t let Chloe out of your sight.”  That was the last thing she told them before parting ways.

~~X~~

The thing is…

She hasn’t seen Chloe in all the fucking night.

What were the odds? Surely the stupid blonde should be in Beck's side, the very thought of it tasting bittersweet… deep down, she knew the real reason to involved Beck.

They were a good person.

The heaviness in her chest was there since the moment she found out Chloe was taking the hook. At first she was thrilled, smash enemies, that was her favorite thing, having plans, blackmailing, humiliating… that was kinda her thing, and she loved it at some point… but Chloe…

Gosh, she hated her. But the memories of them playing, laughing, crying, growing together… a big part of her really wanted to make her pay for her betrayal.

But the other one, the little, small other one… the other one begged to have her best friend back.

Maybe that’s why she didn’t stop Beck when she saw them warning Chloe, telling her she should not trust any word coming out Bradley’s mouth. Maybe that’s why that previous moment with Beck was so intimate yet personal… Yes, definitely they were more observant than she gave them credit for.

After making sure Chloe was far away and all the attention was on Bradley, Poppy walked towards Beck, her bitch mask on as always. She would rather be caught dead before admitting she needed their help to protect her from herself.

“It’s go time. Let’s make this bitch bleed.”

Her words claimed, but her actions were something else. Feeling stupid, like a child, Poppy wrapped Beck's arms around her, searching for comfort, but giving them her back. She could feel their chest behind her, their heat warming her body and their breath close to her hair. Without realizing, her fingers caressed their forearms tenderly, her eyes never looked away from the stage, where Chloe was dazzle by Bradley.

This was it. Her plan was marching flawlessly, even though the first words spoken by Bradley were… well, definitely he did not know how to improvise.

“You’re up, Farmsville. Feed him his first line.” Poppy felt Beck taking a deep breath and hugged her tightly but gentle. Their mouth hided behind her ear, and suddenly, she forgot about the purpose of all the things she was doing.

Because for one moment, Poppy felt as a regular girl, hearing sweet nothings from her significant other.

“She’s got an amazing sense of style… Seriously, she dresses like a runway model. Whatever she walks into a room, everyone turns their head.”

Her heart was beating fast, a strange warm in her chest was growing, and their lips moving closer made her snuggle even more against them, being reciprocate immediately by Beck, holding her still.

“Whenever I’m around this girl, I feel like the king of the world. Not only is she so hot, she’s also compassionate… She shines this amazing light on everyone and everything around her. People who are lucky enough to be her friend can always count on her support.”

Poppy felt the playfully smile on Beck’s mouth, that idiot, even in times like this still managed to crack some joke around.

“You’re a moron.” She whispered.

“Think you could do it better? Be my guest.”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“This might sound like a stupid question, but… do you know who I'm talking about, Chloe?”

And, as simple and quick as that, it all went down to reality. Beck broke the hug apart, walking away to the bar so quickly it actually made Poppy shivering from the sudden cold, feeling unprotected, like something was missing… someone was missing.

“Of course I do” she heard Chloe said. A weird mix between excitement and fear taking over her, while looking perfectly neutral from outside. “It’s Poppy, isn’t it? You’re talking about Poppy Min-Sinclair.”

Poppy's honey eyes went straight to Beck, who was pretending to do a toast, alone, in her behalf. She didn’t even pay attention to what was on stage. Beck admitted to her having sabotage her revenge.

And she couldn’t be more relieved about it.

She also reached for the bar, standing up next to them, neither of them looking at each other.

“Poppy, you have to understa…”

“I can’t say I'm not disappointed, but at least we got Chloe to look a little stupid up there.” Poppy interrupted them. Beck looked surprised for a second, nailing their gaze into their drink after that. “… By the way, the lines you fed Bradley were pure, vicious gold.”

“I got inspired, that’s all.” They murmured, almost ashamed.

Poppy didn’t had time to respond, because The T notification buzzed in her phone: Beck was now top nine, and, of course, herself was back on top one.

“Oh, it worked all right. I’m right back on top, where I belong.”

She couldn’t help but smile to them, a real, happy smile. She got her crown back, and the damages weren’t so bad after all. And it was thanks to Beck, they were a completely live saver. No wonder why Zoey was so eager to protect them…

Speaking of her… if she was as serious as she claims to be towards Beck, and since The T spies were already here… maybe it was time to make a really good move to prove her who's better. And she knew exactly how.

“You did your part. Now, let’s dance.”

Decided, Poppy grabbed their hand, trying to lead them out on the dance floor, but she didn’t get much. Beck was rock still, looking uncomfortable… Like with all of those girls.

“No, I… I don’t dance, Pops.” Are they really rejecting her? To her? No, she was not another stupid whatever girl, she was, again, the Queen. Nobody says no to her.

“Don’t be ridiculous, of course you do!” she said. “I’ve seen you dancing around with Wade. Don’t you try to deny it.”

“That’s different.” They defended themselves, making Poppy raise an eyebrow, challenged, before changing it to a flirty grin.

“Well… maybe I want to be different to you, too.” There it was, that precious lamb’s look she wanted so badly to see. “Just this one, tushi-face…”

Beck started walking almost right away. There it was, their soft spot for her Beck didn’t wanted to acknowledge, but it was already within them.

Not letting go their hand for a second, Poppy and Beck reached the dance floor right away to start to move to the beat in time, Beck trying… really trying to do the same.

Seriously, this dude was bad at this.

Was Zoey the answer?

No, they’re nervous, she could feel the tension in all their body. But why?

“What are you so nervous about?” She asked, feeling a little insulted.

“Paranoia.” They said.

“To what?” Beck only managed to shrug, something in their eyes was off, remembering something from… the past? Beck was afraid? Hell, what did Farmsville do to them? Poppy threw up her arms around their neck, leaning closer, trying to make him forget. “Don’t repeat this to anyone, Tushi-face, but… I needed you tonight.”

“Sounds to me like… You want me, too.” They joked, Poppy could feel the tension disappearing, nothing really to do with the conversation, but with the small petting she was doing to the hair close to Beck’s nape. “Be honest. Was this whole plan an elaborate ruse to get me on the dance floor?” Poppy smirked.

“Don’t be ridiculous, this was all about sabotaging Chloe.” She said, laughing. “Of having wanted it from the start I’d already have you.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because I want you now, and I’m having you.” Beck expression was a poem, the surprise written all over them for a moment, processing the information.

“What are you saying, Poppy?”

“I’m a woman used to get only the best, Hughes. And once I put my eyes onto something… or someone I want, I’ll do anything to make them mine…” The sexual tension was in the air so thick it made everyone around just disappear, the sparks between they both, the way they looked at each other… full of hunger, of need… She wanted Beck, and they wanted Poppy just the same. She could feel it so clear in the way they were touching her back, delicate, yet strong, longing, like begging to the devil to stop, but not wanting to. Please, just end my misery… those eyes claimed, but their body, moving along with hers was screaming to continue, and Poppy got drunk on it, needing more… a lot more.

“Baby, you got lucky cause you're rocking with the best… And I'm greedy… so greedy” She sang whispering, stroking her nose against theirs, playfully, softly, their lips oh so close to hers she could somehow feel them tremble, the sensations intoxicating them both so badly. “I ain't talking money, I'm just physically obsessed… And I'm greedy…”

“Poppy…” They moaned and the strawberry girl couldn’t take it anymore, desperately claiming Beck’s lips with her own.

Her heart exploded.

Beck’s mouth was warm, soft, addictive. As the kiss continued, the need became more and more insufferable, she wanted all and everything. She wanted to feel these heady fireworks on each part of her skin, that tongue taking care of the flames in her body, their hot lips heating her as fire, their breath became poison and the cure at the same time, she stuck her body even closer, trying to feel theirs desperately… Never, anyone, had made her feel so much with just a kiss…

A kiss that suddenly went to a rude ending.

Beck broke apart the touch so promptly that it actually hurt inside her.

“No, I… I just can’t. I gotta go.” Beck was trembling, that was the last thing she managed to understand before being completely alone.

RFA Boys with Kids (Elementary School MC Works at Edition)

requested: by anonymous (with special request to make jumins the most prominent its not my fault for once guys!!!)

a/n: i think in 4th grade we had an astrologist come to our class and talk about the moon and stuff and he was terrifying cuz he sat on my desk the whole time but it was super cool and talked about the world imploding!!

if you want to support my fluff writing, buy me a coffee!

warnings: hhhh flüüf

-happy! mod alex

Jumin

-It was your guys’ 3 year anniversary, and Jumin insisted on picking you up directly after work, eager to spend every second of the next 96 hours with you, especially since you Insisted on going to work, unable to leave your precious second graders with a substitute, especially not on the last day before spring break!!!

-he’d always avoided going to your school, not because he hated kids he just... feared them.

-yes, Jumin Han, director of C+R Internationals only fear was jam-handed children. dont get me wrong, it wants a fear as in “run away screaming,” more he was afraid that anyone under the age of 10 would be intimidated and cry when he spoke. the rfa already made enough fun of him, he didn't need more rejection in his life

-sadly (for him, luckily for us), he forgot the time you got out of school, ending upside your classroom about two hours earlier

-he stops dead in his tracks, hand stopped midway to a knock as a bouquet of roses hid behind his back as he looks at the 20 or so 7 year olds staring at him with bright questioning eyes

-he tries to escape and back out of the class before you notice him, but you immediately see him, face lighting up as you bound towards him happily, throwing your arms around him, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling him into the class, introducing him as your husband 

-a part of him likes that, the idea of not having to be “CEO” or “Mr. Han,” simply your husband

-he’s fairly awkward especially seeing as he’s so tall compare to these little Jam-Handed Monsters?? ... maybe they weren’t monsters... they were kind of cute actually...

-when you take out all the flowers from the bouquet, giving each student a flower instead, he can feel his heart melting, the first smile forming at the corners of his mouth as he sees you so bright and happy, and the way you rect upon seeing the kids own smiles

- “Everyone say Thank You Mr. Han!”     followed by a chorus of “Thank you Mr.Han!!!)

-he wants to protect all these kids from all the bad in the world

-luckily, he came in time for story time, and after you slyly suggest him being the other reader, the expectant and loud children agreeing with you made him do it, doing silly cartoon voices for the characters he portrayed

-Jumin sitting on the Elementary School Rug, the one with the alphabet and boxed colours on it where everyone should sit, his expensive $700 suit wrinkling as he tries his best to kneel down and be to the kids level

-theyre not as scary as he thought! and every time he saw them really... it filled him with a sense of protectiveness he didn’t know he had for anyone outside of his immediate family 

- “MC... lets start a family together” 

Yoosung

-he came over for career day! being a successful vet straight out of college took skills, hence the idea that he come around to the school

-he’s really sweet with the kids, and laughs awkwardly when they ask about his and your relationship, getting flustered and immediately switching the topic to something cute Lisa did

-he can’t spend a lot of time with them because he has to get back to the office, but he also doesn’t spend a lot of time on lecturing them on his job, opting to do some colouring pages with them instead

-shy bean, he’s not necessarily the one to jump into action with them, (lets be honest, second graders are terrifying), but the class likes him, and sometimes he brings Lisa around, which blows their minds

-he’s kind, and being in the presence of Lisa he suddenly becomes so comfortable, smile forming on his face as he teaches a particularly curious girl how to properly respect a cats space, violet eyes brightening up immediately with pure joy

-supportive, and bb kit doesn’t seem to mind, even getting comfortable on some of the kids backpacks

-they all love his white lab coat, and take turns trying it on

-he almost dies of cute overload when on boy holds up his arms proudly, letting the (way too large) sleeves of the coat drop to the floor as he grins widely 

Seven

-volunteers for Everything

-field trip in need of chaperones? special school events need volunteers? kids birthdays? he’s there for all of them no matter what

-he loves being present with them, a part of him feeling healed as he gets to have a glimpse of a childhood he never had, the future he would want his children to have some day

-no matter how silly it may seem, he’s the type to sit with a crying kid until theyre smiling and feeling better, telling the child little jokes and stories until they feel better, making sure to listen to their issue and support them, making sure that they know that their feelings are valid.

-everyone loves Seven in your class! he’s become a cryptid in the school, as the only people that ever actually see him is your class, and no one in the other classes is going to believe the story that theres a red-headed man with funky glasses bringing cupcakes for everyone 

-he tells the most embarrassing stories about you to the kids, reveling in your embarrassment 

-he gets more sad than anyone else when the school year is over, having gotten very attached to your class, where he almost cries as he wishes them a good summer

Zen

-the first time he visited your school was when you’d forgotten your lunch at home, only dropping a sweet hello to the class as he rushes to work

-he doesn’t initially has plans to come back, but a certain few students had become completely enraptured by Zens presence, and wanted to know when the “pretty weird eyed man” would be back

-he loves coming to your school, always conducting fun sing-a-longs as 20 or so 7 year olds gather around him

-having him in the class is more of a disruption, someone who’s fun to hang out with and with him, you know that no one’s going to be doing any work no matter what you say

-more than anything, he loves how the two of you will team up to help a students problem, and sometimes,, if he blocks out the rest of the world... he can imagine that that’s your child

-he’s got insane paternal instincts, and Will Not Stand For anyone getting hurt

-being at the school and seeing you at work and being around children.. really makes him crave that sense of family, building a family with you, the love of his life and being,,, well, happy.

-he lets the children play with and braid his hair, letting them even put flowers in it if they want

-a big ole softie, just wants to know everyone is happy

Valerius x f! Apprentice

Hey,this is a first draft for Valerius from the Arcana game. In this,the Mc,who I named Zoe, was overstressed and a little company from Valerius will brighter her mood. This is pure fluff,Valerius being a sweet and soft cinnamon roll. ^^

Anyways,sorry for the grammar mistakes. My English is not very good and I will try my best in the future. If you spot any of them please don't hesitate to tell me so I can fix that.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Another long day, filled with business at the palace. Consul Valerius was always busy. He had papers to sign,wine to drink,forced to participate at some boring administrative meetings, testing new brands of wine,trying so hard not to insult the servants,oh did I mentioned drinking wine? Anyway,he was busy. But in this evening things will change,because the oh so hated consul was going out for a walk in the garden. For anyone at the palace,that was something new. They also thinking he was either drunk or angry,because other way why should be walking in the garden in the dim light of the sunset? To tell you why,the Consul was concerned. He was thinking about the palace,Nadia and the people,about Vesuvia and the life itself, perhaps about everything at once.  You see,the bitter consul who was always annoyed by others,was in fact very careful with the world around him,understanding the cruelty of it. In fact,he was lost within his mind. Trying to find his place in a world so cold was hard,and even his soul became like ice,unable to summon sympathy for other people. But the walks in the garden weren't uncommon for him. Sometimes,he will sneak out of his room at night,with a bottle or two or four of wine in the garden,to breath the clean air and to clear his mind,alone,when no one was around to see him. And it was fine, really. But sometimes the lonely gets the best of him,and he starts drinking more than his limit,and start drowning himself in his own mind. However,in this evening something definitely will change.

Zoe,the magician,Asta apprentice,who was supposed to find Dr. Julian,or the true murderer of the Count,decided to have a walk in the garden too. Tired of the day that went by,she stripped herself of the elegant shoes that Nadia ordered her to wear,and sighed, relieved to be alone. She started to walk around, admiring the beauty of the nature and starting to look at it,as it really was. She hoped this will help with her stress,but life's not so easy. She stated to overthink things,as she always do,and losses herself and her attention, bumped right into someone. This snapped her back to reality,and too ashamed to look at the person,her black eyes were fixed on the ground,words of sorry and endless apologises escaping her mouth so fast that most of them were barely audible. But there were stopped by a firm hand on her shoulder and two words.

"Stop that." This voice was familiar. A little too familiar. The bitterness in the tone reminding her of someone, however this time the voice has something almost sweet and caring in it. Almost.

To satisfy her curiosity,she looked up and saw Valerius. He wears that frown and neutral expression as always,but this time,his eyes were amused.

"Stop apologising or I will have another headache." Oh so familiar sarcasm. And the smile. "In fact,I think you were just lost in thoughts,am I right?". And the grin. The "I know everything" grin.

"Uh,yeah...something like that." She shouldn't be so vulnerable,but she was still embrassed by her own mistake. "Sorry again,consul."

She sighed,too tired to care if she's making a fool of herself again. But Valerius expression softened instantly,and before he can stop,the words fall from his mouth.

"Would you like to talk about what's bothering you?"

The question seemed to surprise the both of them,and he immediately turned his head away,panick started to form in his mind. This wasn't supposed to happen.

Zoe,taken by surprise by his kind words,was just staring at him,mouth agape.

"I,uh,excuse me? I think I misunderstood you. Can you reaped the question?"

Now they were both confused. But for Valerius was already too late. He cannot back down from this. Well,he guessed he wouldn't be alone anymore by now.

"Do you want to talk about what's bothering you? You seem a little off..."

The soft laugh that escaped her lips was enough to embrassed the consul,and his insecurities started to form.

"Why consul? To gossip with the other courtiers about this later?"

The words were supposed to be a joke,and not to sound like that. The attitude of the consul changed instantly into something more dark and perhaps a little sad too?

"So this is what you think of me? Well,it's not a surprise, after all, everyone seem to think the same."

Surely a little sad. Now Zoe was regretting every word and the guilt stated to form in her guts.

"Valeri- Consul. I'm truly sorry. It was supposed to be a joke. Really." A little hum stopped her to continue for a moment,but she did it anyway. "And thank you. For trying to help. But you seem a little off to. Maybe you should speak about what's bothering you first."

Now was his time to look totally surprised by that. Eyes wide open staring at her,and for a moment,he looked exactly like a lost puppy. But then his composure was back.

"I'm fine. I wasn't the one to bump into someone." Even if the remark was supposed to sound like a bitter one, somehow it turned out soft and concerned, which surprised again the both of them. "So...are you going to talk about it?"

Zoe wanted to tell no,to scream or to run. But she didn't. She just sat there,eyes watering a little. She was overwhelmed with the stress. And even she shouldn't be complaining about it, she did in her mind, cursed the murderer,the Countess,herself and everyone else for expecting so much from her. She started a sentence,and then ended it with a little sob. This snapped Valerius out of his own track of thoughts and immediately pulled her in his arm. Well,if Zoe wasn't enough surprised by his actions by now,in this moment she truly was. She stopped crying just to look at him,and a small nod and a genius kind smile encouraged her to continue and to say what was so heavy for her heart. And she did, telling him everything. The embrace was ended soon after she started,but Valerius eyes never leaved her,the concern and interest showing in them. By the time she was done,both of them sat in a well welcomed silence,listening to the sound of water from the fountain,the breeze and the animals. When Valerius spoke again,the tone was soft,almost a whisper.

"It's normal to feel like that. You are in a new situation for you,alone,no one asking you if you are okay with this. And you are pretty young too, considered by others as a child-"

"I'm not a child,consul!"

Now this was supposed to be interesting.

"Oh? And then what are you?" A little playful smile developing at the corner of his lips,eyes shining with interested.

"A witch! A magician of Vesuvia." She said proudly, smiling too a little.

"Oh? So what a magician can do,dear Zoe?~" Now the grin was back,but was a kind and playful one,turning all of this in a game where both of them can win.

She did not move but closed her eyes,waiting. A little breeze surrounding them,and then a pale of wind blowing some leaves in the consul hair, ruining a bit of it. At first,Zoe started to laught when she opened her eyes. The sign in front and her was just too precious. But then she realised this was Valerius,and she wanted to apologize. But he stopped her mid track,starting to laugh himself of the situation.

"Oh my! You got me,magician." This was all it takes for both of them to snap into a loud and happy laugh, forgetting about the problems they had in that moment.

"I didn't know you are capable of this acts of caring, consul~" Her turn to tease him.

"Tell anyone about it and you will be dead." He said sternly,but then smiled. So he can have a soft heart too.

"Thank you, consul. It did really helped."

"Call me Valerius from now on,ok?"

With that,they sat in a relaxing silence, enjoy the nature and the company of each other, realising a little bit of company wasn't bad for any of them.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So this was it. I hope you enjoyed and please tell me what you think about it. I will happy take constructive criticism and improve my stories in the future.

So far, first impressions, holy cow the art is amazing.

Ash🦀

1. My favorite part about the beginning was the style. It immediately drew me in how everything was lovingly rendered in color that made me feel like I was seeing the world for the first time. It made me want to paint, too! 2. When we first see the man. Whoo buddy. Whoooooooo buddy. That was... a finely sculpted painting there. I could’ve framed him and hung him on my wall if the artist would let me. WHOOOO BUDDY. 3. My favorite character so far is Martel. I don’t write them often, but I love seeing kids in media, and I love the design of her hair. I know it’s a random thing to make me like her but I just... really like her hairstyle. She’s cute, and I’d guess she’ll be a breath of much-needed light air later in the story. 4. Mystery man and Martel are precious. 5. I point to answer 2 here. That lovingly sculpted chest? My heart was a-flutter I tell you what. 6. The art style is just... SO LOVINGLY RENDERED. The quiet moments of baking bread juxtaposed against a chaotic battle was SO. GOOD. Aaaaaah Could also be that that particular part is my favorite part of making bread so it was extra special aaaaaaah 7-8 I haven’t seen enough of the story to answer these yet! But the art is banging and I can’t wait to read more. Subscribed.

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

I've read this before and the art and story aren't really my thing. Since critique is allowed I could give art comments if CronaJ would find that kind of thing helpful? But even though I won't be following the story I was still impressed by how much care the author puts into it. Both from looking at their comic and from reading their comments on this discord and on the tap forum it's clear they've put a ton of effort into the art and story, and haven't cut any corner.s And all the panels are so rendered. I wonder how long it takes to draw a page?(edited)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Hey everyone! I'm the artist and writer of Whispers of the Past. I want to thank you all for your kind comments and observations so far. It really means a lot to me to hear what others think of this heartfelt project. I know that the story is in the beginning stages right now. But I'm looking to post the end of the first chapter this week, so hopefully a bit more will be revealed soon. Please feel free to ask me questions about anything, or (to answer @Eightfish (Puppeteer)'s question), to offer critiques for how I can improve what I'm doing.(edited)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

@FeatheryJustice & @Ash🦀 I'm glad you enjoy the artwork. The painting process is probably what takes me the longest when it comes to pages. In response to @Eightfish (Puppeteer)... It takes me around 30-40 hours per page, and I try to post 2-3 page updates. Obviously, the amount of time spent per page varies depending on several factors, such as: the number of panels, the level of complication of poses, how many characters/background elements there are, and sometimes just whatever weird reason my brain isn't working that day ^^; So for my average 5-7 panel pages, they typically take longer than, say, a full-page spread. @Ash🦀 I'm so happy that the first few pages pulled you in! I spent a lot of time deciding on how I wanted to draw those panels, and what style to use, etc. I actually redrew the first 3 pages at least 5 times before settling on them as they are. And, you can hang and frame the image of our male MC if you want, haha, I actually don't have prints of it, but it is something to consider That particular panel was a one-page spread, so I was able to dedicate a bit more detail to it. Maret is a worthy favorite character. She is too pure and precious, and she just wants to make friends with everybody. Even when the "strange man" is kind of curt and unfriendly to her, she wants to befriend him. Also, I am SO unbelievably glad that you picked up on the juxtaposition in the bread-making scene! Ahhhh! I had a lot of fun with that one

FeatheryJustice

1. The Pacing, I love slow starts to comics because I get to absorb it and learn more. 2. Favourite Moment? Dude trying to climb out the window and failing. That was really funny XD 3. Mysterious dude from the water of course. He has pointed ears, you know something is up. 4. I like Maret and the mysterious man, it seems like a child being like 'this is new and I want to learn more' Also thank you for not writing a grating child character. They sometimes turn up too pure to be real, or too grating because they are too real. Maret at least has that nice balance of a healthy child will not acted spoiled but still want things because child like the scene where she was shoo'ed out of the room. 5. I think we talked about htis a long time ago, but I love the way you draw hands and feet! 6. Nothing so far, not sure where the story will head so I can't answer this. 7. I like the start of the mystery and the slow ramp up. We are just getting comfortable and I'm sure we are going to get rocky soon! 8. Art, from seeing Cronaj spend so much time on it, it's freaking amazing. I can almost feel the characters come to life.

Also on a side note, I want Maret to hear from the Conch shell (As a memey joke) "Under the sea, under the sea" XD

(Mysterious man has red hair, I wouldn't be surprised he turned out to be a mermaid XD Sorry I'm just on slight crack theory mode right now. He didn't sell his voice though)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

When I was first writing and planning this comic, I was a little scared about how slow the start was, but I'm glad that it has been interesting despite the slow nature of the exposition.

2. Favourite Moment? Dude trying to climb out the window and failing. That was really funny XD

@FeatheryJustice Accurate! He's kind of an idiot, and he panics over nothing. For Maret... I actually based her character partially off of my two younger sisters, so that might be a lot of what contributes to her personality and realism. We did talk about hands and feet before! I love drawing hands, because they are so expressive and complex, but hate drawing feet because they are complicated. But I did study from life to draw Maret's feet, because I felt like I would mess it up otherwise ^^;

Hahahaha! I could definitely make an edit of that, tbh.

FeatheryJustice

That would be a funny joke panel if you ever want to do one. XD It's like replace the diaolgue memes XD

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

And I was partially making a mermaid joke when I had the reference to mermaids in the comic because he is a redhead

Definitely an idea....

I would title the episode "Whispers of the Crack"

FeatheryJustice

OMG YES I would love to see that XD

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

I have a WotP meme folder on my computer already

carcarchu

1. What did you like about the beginning of the comic? Mystery man pretty 2. What has been your favorite moment in the comic (so far)? i liked the part where maret was listening to the conch for mermaids, had a lovely magical charm to it 3. Who is your favorite character? mystery man 4. Which characters do like seeing interact the most? not too many interactions so far but maret and the mystery man were cute 5. What is something you like about the art? If you have a favorite illustration, please share it! the sunset scenery had a nice vibe

also i can see why people were saying it reminded them of ruroni kenshin, mystery guy especially with his hair up and on the cover image is reminiscent of kenshin but storywise doesn't remind me of it at all

carcarchu

I have some critiques that i'll cover in case you don't want to see them. SPOILER The anime-ish emotes (the blush and the anger vein) to me clash against the realistic artsyle and detracts from the moments, some more subtlety with them would be appreciated. And Maret doesn't really look like a child to me, her face is very mature so it makes her look older than she is. Moreover the 3 characters that have been introduced thus far have very similar facial features. For maret and agatha they are siblings so it makes sense but the mystery man is (presumably?) not related to them so i'm not sure if that's intentional. In any case more facial diversity would be appreciated going forward (if it's just your style that's fine too). And this is a really small nit-pick but the first panel of chapter 6 has horse hooves with the sfx thump thump thump. In my opinion this sfx should be clip clop clip clop END SPOILER

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

@carcarchu Thanks for the notes! I actually had a hard time deciding how to portray blush noticeably in a more realistic style, haha, but I can definitely see why it's jarring. Do you have any tips for how to depict blushing without anime emotes? I would just make it more reddish/pink, but it always looks weird to me (or too unnoticeable). As for Maret... She looks like a child to me? She's six, so she isn't quite a toddler, so I don't know if that changes your perception of her. She actually resembles my youngest sister a great deal, and my youngest sister was 5, almost six, when I designed her. (I just looked through the pages again, and there's maybe one panel that I think she looks slightly older in, so if anything, I'll try to fix that panel.) So yes, obviously Agatha and Maret look very similar, hahaha. They are biological sisters, so that makes sense. There will be at least two more characters introduced that are also related to them (and look fairly similar as well) and one character who will be mentioned who is also related and looks just like Agatha. Other than that, Izrekiel does look somewhat similar, I suppose, but it might also be partially that he canonically has a very feminine face as opposed to other male characters to be introduced later. It could be that and also a bit as a result of my style. I'm not sure. Ahhhh, sound effects! I also struggled with deciding what to do here. I wanted to do something different than "clip clop," mostly for a stupid personal hang-up. (I don't know why, but "clip clop" always looks so comical to me.) But if it helps translate the sound better, I might just have to bite the bullet and change it. Thanks for your feedback! Even if I don't agree with all of it, it does help me to take a closer look at what I've done with some different eyes. (edited)

carcarchu

That's fair! You don't have to accept anything just my thoughts (i hope nothing i said was too harsh) for me thump thump is a dull sound whereas clip clop or clippity clop is a sharper and harsher sound

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

yeah, I think you're right about that

thump is more like a heartbeat

or someone falling on carpet or something

carcarchu

and as for the blush question i think there are ways to depict a similar emotion without relying on the blush itself as a short hand like the softening of the eyes, the shape of the eyebrows, looking down and heck even body language can help with this. expression is more than what is shown on just the face

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Thank you. I always feel like my characters look too stiff, like mannequins. ^^; I'm probably not going to completely redraw any old panels at this point, but I might make a few alterations to these panels to make it more consistent with later panels down the line.

carcarchu

i also noticed that a lot of your panels are the characters looking straight towards the "camera" and i would appreciate more varied angles and perspectives

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Particularly with the first ten pages, that is certainly true

I got that note before, but I didn't redraw every panel, only some which looked particularly bad.

carcarchu

personally i never edit old chapters unless i 1. forgot to draw something important 2. there's a huge typo 3. it's missing a panel

any critique you can just keep in your heart and implement if you choose to do so moving forward

keii'ii (Heart of Keol)

2. I really liked "what if it's mama?" - a lot of hints condensed there: family history, how the topic of deaths/ disappearances are handled around children (either in that family specifically, or in that culture), and also a moment that shows a glimpse of Agatha's sisterly love instead of having the readers assume it.

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

Really loving the comic so far! Right now, I'm most interested to learn about this family situation. I'm guessing their mother is dead or missing, but what about their father? I suppose his clothes were still in the house so maybe he just went out? Or maybe they're both missing and it was just fairly recent?

Also, the paint-y style of this comic is just incredible

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

https://media.tenor.com/images/878a64d90a1139bcb1e863ee29bfa929/tenor.gif

I'm so happy that you guys picked up on the clues about their mother. It alludes to some pretty plot heavy stuff that very few people have really commented on so far.

eli [a winged tale]

Oooh I’m so excited for your story Cronaj! Here are my answers~ 1) I love the beach scene! Maret with the shell is adorable and you established their relationship right away 2) Fav moment is probably the scene transition to our lad waking up with Agatha going about her day. It’s very peaceful and I’m a sucker for slice of life stuff. 3) Can’t pick just yet~ I like Agatha as a solid protagonist though. 4) More Agatha x mystery man please 5) I loooove the illustration aesthetics. Bold colours! 6) haven’t gotten to the core theme yet I’m sure but first impressions/meeting are always exciting. 7) I’m excited for what is to come. Can’t wait for the call to adventure. 8) Strength is definitely the art - beautiful and bold. Keep up the wonderful work!

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

@eli [a winged tale] Woah!!! You're the first person I've heard say that they like Agatha! She's mah girl! (And don't you worry, there will definitely be a lot more Agatha x Mystery Man ) Thanks for participating

eli [a winged tale]

she’s a solid sister!

sagaholmgaard

1. What did you like about the beginning of the comic? I like how the intro had a nice balance between art and text. Usually if there’s a lot of text on the first page I can get deterred from heading a comic, but here I think it worked really well! And the loverly painting of the ocean sunset also reeled me in and fit really well with the poetic text! 2. What has been your favorite moment in the comic (so far)? ”He’s the prettiest man I’ve ever seen!” LOL (and she’s right too…) 3. Who is your favorite character? I like the kid! But I’m excited to learn more about the other characters as the story goes on! 4. Which characters do like seeing interact the most?
I liked Agatha and Mystery Man interacting, it felt very natural and I’m curious to see what comes of it. But the dialogue felt pretty strong which I gotta applaud 5. What is something you like about the art? If you have a favorite illustration, please share it! The beautiful shot of Mystery Man on the beach of course, lol! I love the way the hair is rendered, it really feels like it’s has weight and is spread out in the sand, if that makes sense? 6. What is a theme you like that the comic explores? It seems like it will explore a lot of interesting themes in the future, such as grief and finding where you belong, so again I’m interested to see what the story brings! I’m sure it’ll be good no matter what :D Overall I like what I’ve read so far! It’s not the type of art style I usually gravitate towards, but I can tell a lot of love is going into rendering and I think we’ll be seeing Crona’s art improve a lot as the story goes on, which is always exciting to see!

What I like about the beginning of the comic, which also goes for what I like about the art in general, is the attention to detail in the background colors and lighting. I've never seen such a beautifully rendered (what I assume is) a sunset. It really makes everything have this great almost mystical atmosphere to it. In general, though, the art so far is definitely the comic's strength because you can see the sheer passion in every drop of it. My favorite moment so far is when Maret gives Izrekiel some flowers and then drags him off and he's just meekly protesting. It was both cute and comedic and the preciousness hurt my heart. This is also why this is my favorite pair of characters interacting so far. I think the age gap combined with the context of Izrekiel's situation is gonna lead to lots of awkwardness that I look forward to. As for fave character, though, I would have to go with Agatha right now. I don't know what it is about her, but everytime I see her I feel like I'm looking at an old soul. Like maybe someone who still has a lot to learn about the world, but is wise beyond her years in other regards. And it makes her a captivating character for me.

While I'm not sure if this will be an overall theme throughout, I like that the comic starts to deal with the theme of loss and hope. On one side you have Agatha who just kind of accepts loss and deals with it, and then you have Maret who just lives on in hope. And I kind of feel they represent two dynamic sides to the issue about whether its better to cling to hope or just move on and deal and how both can be harmful if not expressed in the correct way. As for overall story content, while we're not that deep in, I do like it starts with a multitude of mysteries cause mysteries are always great for making ppl want answers

Since Crona said they were good with art critique: The main thing I noticed when I first saw the art was that, though lovingly rendered, the characters' faces and bodies are kind of stiff. They don't really scrunch up their eyes and faces when they emote- it's mostly just the eyebrows (this was especially noticable when Maret was crying, or on the latest page, first panel, where Agatha's face doesn't really match her body language or words). And characters often don't seem to twist their bodies as much as they should. Oh- also the same camera angles of faces and bodies are repeated a lot. Front, 3/4, and profile. It'd be cool to see some shots with foreshortening from above or below the characters. Also the lighting is pretty diffuse- the characters seem to be shaded about the same way, and with the same colors, regardless of the lighting situation. I can still tell where the light is coming from, because there are those strong bright highlights in the direction of the light, but other than the bright highlights everything else seems to be shaded as if there was another light source coming from straight ahead. Also, sometimes characters seem to lose their shadows? Like on this page https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/whispers-of-the-past/ch-1-what-the-waves-left-behind-pt-3/viewer?title_no=191366&episode_no=4 where Agatha doesn't cast a shadow on the man, or this page https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/whispers-of-the-past/ch-1-what-the-waves-left-behind-pt-8/viewer?title_no=191366&episode_no=10 where they're running.

Those things being said though, I was still very impressed by the sheer amount of effort put into this comic. 100 hours/ update is absolutely insane. And you pay so much attention to the inanimate objects of this world. It makes the story feel grounded. About what someone else said: I agree that the cartoonish blush looks out of place. But I disagree about Maret- I think she does look like a child. 5. Favorite illustration? Definitely Agatha's hands when making dough. Not a critique but just a question: I was confused on the location of the story. Where is this?

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Ooof. Finally got a chance to sit down and respond to all these comments. I keep rereading them over and over again, so thank you so much for sharing your thoughts everyone! I've noticed a few themes with what people have commented so far: Maret is most people's favorite character, the panel of Izrekiel on the beach is also very popular, and the theme of loss/grief is apparent to the readers (which I'm very happy about.)

@sagaholmgaard I'm glad that you mentioned the theme of "finding where you belong" too, because it is and will be a very prevalent theme in the comic. And reading your comment about how the dialogue seems natural made my day. I used to worry about how the dialogue came off constantly, and to hear that it's strong is so encouraging.

@RebelVampire As is expected, your comments are very thought-out. The interaction between Izrekiel and Maret after he falls from the window is one of my favorite moments so far as well. I'm happy that Izrekiel's behavior came off as meek in this scene, because that is one of the defining traits of his personality. I'm glad for another Agatha fan! She is such a fun (and difficult) character for me to portray. There are so many layers about her that even I am still discovering. She is definitely an old soul, and he experiences growing up have definitely matured her beyond her years. As I mentioned before, the theme of loss is definitely a major theme of the comic overall. And hope as well, since I think the two are very connected.

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

@Eightfish (Puppeteer) Thank you for offering your critiques! Character stiffness is definitely one of my major problems that I'm working at. I definitely see what you mean about Agatha's face in the latest update. Her eyebrows look painted on (pun not intended). I have been looking forward to having some more dynamic poses, especially foreshortening, but I do find it somewhat difficult when most of what the characters are doing so far are standing, sitting, talking, and maybe doing something with their hands. ^^; Hopefully, in the future, when more "action" happens, it will be easier to do this. As for bird's eye or worm's eye shots, I'm not gonna lie, I struggle with them so much. I had two bird's eye panels, and those took so much time, and I still don't know how I feel about them. If you have any tips for exercises, I would be so grateful. (Finding reference isn't always possible.) I also would love some tips/resources on how to get better at lighting. Again, lighting reference isn't always possible for specific panels, so it would help me a lot to learn how light works in general. OOOOOOF! I don't know how I missed the lack of shadow on Izrekiel in that panel. That was 100% a stupid oversight on my part. The scene with Agatha making dough had some of my personal favorite illustrations for a while. :) Also, your question about the location, I'm not entirely sure how to answer it?(edited)

It's a high fantasy story, so the location is entirely fictional.

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

The best I can answer that is to say that the story takes place in a country called Shai-Ryam, consisting of four major "districts" in a semi-tropical temperate peninsula called "The Aka Peninsula," named after the native people who originally lived there. As of right now, they are in a city called Gon Atam, a seaside village on the western shore of the Nuata District, near the Ocean of Saturuna. It is a city heavy in trade and with a long history, yet quaint and small due to a disaster several hundred years ago. It is only now being repopulated.

9. Okay, so, here’s my theory. Just a guess. So Izrekiel is from a very war-friendly people up north who need land. Izzy just isn’t all about that life, but feels like he has no choice. Then he gets hurt fighting someone close to him (I’m putting money on brother or cousin who lives on the “wrong” side of things, hurt because he just couldn’t fight them at full strength. And then he realizes he can’t do it, while on the ship bound for new fight zones. His captain gets wind of it and is like “oh no I can’t let Mutiny Happen” so HeS all long ike “either fall in line or get off my ship” and Izzy is like “no I don’t wanna fight anymore heck you guys” and the captain proceeds to yeet him off the ship, leading him to the island, which, unbeknownst to him, is the next target. That’s my guess. Might be wildly off. He might be part mermaid. (Merman? Is mermaid gender neutral?) 10. Izzy or his bros probably killed one of Agatha’s family members, possibly the mom? Possibly violently? Which is why she never told babygirl what’s up. It’s probably going to be remembered in the buds of their relationship, hes going to try to hide it but it’ll come to light and she’s gonna be like “Izzy I hate you” and it’s going to make me cry. 11. She’s going to have a bread making partner in the end. They’re going to have adventures and go back to a domestic bread making existence, I speak it into being now /smacks table That may just be what I want to happen, though, as I very much enjoy bread making and wish others the same simple joy of giving dough a good smacking. 12. IS THE MOTHER REALLY A MERMAID OR WHAT Is Agatha a mermaid Are they like Selkies where they can come onto land a little Is babygirl a mermaid too(edited)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Omg... I love reading these theories. I won't say you're wrong or right, but this is a riot. I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

FeatheryJustice

9. Pulls out my Crack Theory brain Okay, so Iz is actually not a very hot man, but actually a really hot princess, transformed into a man since she was exciled from her country but their rules are to give the exiled a new life so they shape shift them into something else. Iz got shifted into a man, and the lovely wide bare chest was because their top was lost to the ocean like how someone would lose their bathing suit top to the sea. Anyways, knowing nothing about themselves, Iz now lives their life as a man never remembering they were a princess in the first place. Ends Crack Theory 10. Don't know, can't say for now. 11. She could always politely kick him out later, so I can't say for now. XD 12. I want to know if there are monsters in this story or just like different species warring it out.

RT|NitghVision

^ I like this theory

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

@Cronaj (Whispers of the Past) Oh! I missed that it was high fantasy. I thought the story was historical fiction. No wonder mystery man has pointed ears. I was so confused- I kept thinking, oh, she looks Polynesian and lives by the ocean. But wait, her name is Agatha and she makes bread? And the houses look Japanese? What culture are her clothes from? The world being completely fictional explains all that. I think I was confused by the real names in a high fantasy story- you don't really see that a lot. Finding the right reference for lighting or pose is impossible for me. I have no tips. The only way I've found is to make my own references. I will sit in front of a window, or take a lamp into a dark room or something, and prop my phone up and take photos of myself in the poses and lighting direction I need. But hey, at least that way I don't have to worry about stealing someone else's work?

(i also like feathery's theory)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

@FeatheryJustice Crack theories are best theories.

@Eightfish (Puppeteer) Oh! I had no idea you thought it was historical fiction No wonder you were confused! There's a lot of weird cultural-mixing shenanigans going on in the setting, and it's a bit confusing.

I should try that, for now the lighting has been primarily sunlight, or diffused sunlight (which I don't think I depicted correctly).

RebelVampire

Time to crack story theory. I don't know enough about the world to guess a name to where Izrekiel is from. However, wherever it's from, I get the impression its embroiled in a bloody war that is suffering heavy casualties. I imagine that Izrekiel mightve been in a battle and just wound up in the sea by circumstance - like maybe was taken as a prisoner of war and jumped overboard to escape. Something like that. As for the amnesia, well, Imma chock that up to PTSD cause the brief flashbacks we got don't look pleasant. However, I definitely think someone will come looking for him, and that these someone's will make trouble with the people he's just met - perhaps even forcing them to abandon their home with people in pursuit. And I'm sure as Izrekiel remembers more, others are going to really view him as potentially dangerous and blame him (but then get over it cause he's pretty O_O) Given that, I do think Agatha is gonna leave home because of Izrekiel's past running after them. I do think she's inevitably gonna miss the simpler life. Not to the point she won't rise to the challenge, but to the point that she's gonna be like "wait theres danger out here and i didnt even get a sword from an old man in a cave!" As for biggest questions, right now I'm just kind of hoping to see more of the world cause current world events really are gonna dictate a lot where the story could go.

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

Dude I was literally googling the names to see what country they were from because I thought they were from some obscure real island with a history of cultural mixing that I hadn't heard about before.

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Hahaha! Yeah, Agatha is an English name. Maret and Kelan (a character that hasn't been introduced yet) are Irish names. Aalia (another character that isn't introduced yet) is an Arabic name. Kehhasan (another character) is a made-up name. Izrekiel is a made-up name inspired by the biblical names Israel and Ezekiel (although technically it is often spelled in their alphabet as "Isarikieru," which has a particular meaning and pronunciation in an even older—fictional—language). Ryukou (another character), is a real-ish name, based off of the Japanese names "Ryu" and "Kou," which mean "dragon" and "peace/light" respectively. Four other characters have fictional names: Ia, Tammamori, Soro, Ghita (although technically it's a Greek name, that wasn't my inspiration). And of course there are hundreds of side characters with a combination of weird names and name origins.

So! I don't really do so well with answering questions, but I do want to say it's inspiring to me to see just how much WORK is put into this comic. It's really lovely to see so clearly how much you care for it. Just want to give some general words of encouragement, keep it up!

Ash🦀

I’m most looking forward to seeing more of Izzy how the story develops along with your painting. There are so many hints and peeks at the world, and I can’t really guess where it’s going. I feel like I already care for these characters, and I can’t wait to see their journey. I am also not good at encouragement, as generally I’m fueled by spite. But I just wanted to say, keep going! You got this! We believe in you!

eli [a winged tale]

Keep up the good work Cronaj! Your art is beautiful and I can’t wait till we start rolling into act 2!

FeatheryJustice

I'm excited to see what else comes up next!

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement everyone! I'm so happy to know that you are enjoying the story so far!

RebelVampire

I'm most looking to learning a bit more about the world structure I think. Since I think current events are really gonna hint at a lot what's going on. As for final words, this is an artistically wonderful comic with a lot of love put in, and I can only imagine how things will improve in the future!

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

I'm just really looking forward to seeing these characters grow! This is a beautiful comic, and I can't wait to get more of it!

JUSTICE FOR JUMIN HAN (SPOILERS+CURSING)

◎——- JUSTICE FOR JUMIN HAN ——-◎ ☞ “Jumin Han is a douche!” ☞ “Jumin Han doesn’t has a heart or human feelings!” ☞ “Eww, Jumin is very rude so I hate him.” ☞ “He only prefers his cat.” ☞"He treats others like shit, doesn’t give a fuck about others’ feelings.“ ☞ "Does Jumin Han is gay?” These may be probably almost everyone’s thoughts and opinions regarding Jumin. When I say almost everyone, except for very few amount of people, everyone else bash Jumin Han. That’s the most unbearable sight to ever see. Those who have played his route very carefully and fully concentrated, they must’ve been able to dig his actual self out. Playing his route and unveiling his true self could be only done by a player who is capable of dealing with a person who is mentally-scarred, emotionally neglected and trying not to further repress his hidden emotions. However, anyone’s first impression on Jumin is actually not a good one. His texts in some circumstances, especially in the prologue gives off the vibe that he isn’t trusting people so easily; He appears bland and uptight. But the actual thing is; he is not! Well, to be honest, I never felt that Jumin was rude to RFA except for few incidents as I remember: 1. Once when Yoosung talked about V getting rid of Rika after her death, Jumin told Yoosung that it wasn’t something for him to judge. It came out quite harshly. 2. Telling Jaehee that he is fed of hearing her voice at the office and seeing her at the chatroom. Some hate him for shoving Jaehee with loads of work but what to do. It’s her job. But it doesn’t mean that I’m taking his side. After all, he makes her work more than a limit. But instead of hating him and trashing Jumin, have you guys ever wondered why he does such things? “Yeah, the answer is simple. He is a robotic, heartless man with no any feelings.” Someone will say. Is it? Doesn’t he really has a heart? Is he a robot? He does. He is a human being with feelings. Then why not show them? There’s a reason for everything, my dear. He is repressing his emotions. Deep inside, he is scarred. He is struggling. He is going through so much, just like everyone else. He has determined himself not to deal with emotions. That’s why he appears cold to everyone. Why doesn’t he get involved with emotions? Since he was a small child, his mother had left him. There was a step mother but she was a bitch too. His father may have been very busy and buried to work to a point that he didn’t have a time to bond with his child. At a point, Jumin says that he was looked after by nannies. There was no one in his life except for servants, securities, butlers and nannies. It was some kind of a professional, business and an unemotional life Jumin lived. Not a life which was filled with love, caring and kindness. So what can you expect at first? And about the relationship between Jumin and his father, Jumin loves and respects his father despite his womanizing and obsession towards women. At some points, Jumin mentions that they’re getting along well. They also gift each other and sometimes have a lunch or a dinner together. What I have to ask, is that called a real father-son relationship? Showering each other with presents is nice but that’s rather like showing off to me. That’s not what someone expects from their parent(s). What’s more important is providing love in an emotional way. A father is supposed to teach well manners to his child. He is supposed to teach good and bad to the child. He is supposed to advise the child, wisely. Most importantly, He is supposed to love his child properly. To let him/her know that he’d be supporting them no matter what, to be with them through their thicks and thins, to guide them in the correct path and to let them know that he loves them very much. Mr.Han might not be a bad person but he also hasn’t acted like a real father to Jumin. Giving expensive gifts and dining together doesn’t mean that he is well playing his role as a father. So it’s not surprising that Jumin is spontaneously acting like a brat. Talking about the love life of Jumin, he wasn’t particularly interested in women until the player comes into his life. Since his childhood, Jumin is used to see various women with his father; one at a time. He was used to see them enjoying all kinds of luxuries and dumping Mr.Han next day. In one word; gold diggers they were. In fact, some were also interested not only in Mr.Han but also Jumin. Jumin knows that everyone is coming behind them for their enormous wealth. He also knew that no one could expect pure love from such women. I think that’s why Jumin doesn’t bend so easily and trust someone so quickly. Because he thinks that all women are same. He also has stated that he had experienced several blind dates but wasn’t successful. Maybe he rejected those women so easily. According to him, his only dearest, trustworthy companion in his life is Elizabeth the 3rd, his cat. She is actually treated as a real queen than an animal because he believes that Elizabeth the 3rd understands him well unlike the women. Jumin also hints in his route that he had a crush for Rika. There was also a Visual Novel of a scene of him and Rika in the past. There he states that he believes her and trusts her. He also admits that Rika is beautiful when she herself questions him about her beauty. But at one point, in my opinion, I believe he was quite taken aback when Rika asks him if they would’ve ended up together if she met him before V. I conclude that Rika also tried to flirt with him and she was also the same like other women. Jumin really admires Rika. That’s true. But he never went over his limit by loving her as he was loyal and sincere to his best friend, V. He started believing in love and stopped depending on his theory; all women are same , when he encounters the player. For the very first time, he starts to see a woman who is much better than Rika. A woman who truly understands him and isn’t eyeing for his wealth. That woman makes him feel special. She showers him with pure love and she is the only woman who is successful enough to help and understand Jumin. She’s the one who helps to bring out his hidden emotions and his true self out. Unlike his father and others, she is capable to stick with him during his hard times and helps him wholeheartedly. She is the woman of everything. She means very much to Jumin. Eventually he madly falls in love with MC. He states that she was the woman who helped him to untangle the so called threads of his life. He tells her that she made him and RFA to see a new side of him. His actual self, the real Jumin Han who had been hidden deep inside for a long time. And about his terms with RFA members, all I have to say is, he is the father to them. Not because he is the senior member. First of all, I’ll tell y'all something. There’s this Mystic Messenger account in Instagram (@mysticmessengerfacts). There, you can submit your Mystic Messenger confessions and the admin would post it, not stating who is the owner of the confession. There’s this recent confession: [“I don’t understand why everybody loves Jumin like he treats Jaehee horribly and mostly has no sympathy for anyone except his cat. I overall think he is a douche for treating everybody like a crap.”] Okay. First…. calm down, Jumin stans. I know how we all feel. I was like ‘Bitch what the actual fuck?’ First of all, I’ll develop some assumptions regarding the owner of the confession: 1. Maybe this person hasn’t played Jumin’s route at all. 2. Maybe (s)he has played the route but has screwed up and didn’t understand our precious boy at all. 3. If (s)he has played Jaehee’s route, they haven’t concentrated well. Because there’re moments where Jumin showed that he has a golden heart. Okay now I’m asking y'all again. Is Jumin a douche as that person has stated? Does he actually treat others like crap and only care for his cat? I’ll put it in this way. Not Jumin treats everyone like crap but everyone in RFA treats Jumin like crap. That’s the truth. He wasn’t sympathized by anyone at all. ☓ Yoosung always states that he is scared of Jumin and questions about his privilege. ☓ Zen always calls him a robot or a stuck up jerk who doesn’t care about anyone and insults him for treating a cat as a human being. ☓ Jaehee indirectly diss him together with Zen and always complains him for shoving her with work. ☓ Seven doubts about his sexual orientation and teases him and make fun of him. But did Jumin ever speak against them? Did he ever complain? Did he not care for them just because everyone collaborate and talk shit against him? NO HE DID NOT. Instead: (Forgive me if I state something wrong as I’ve only played Jumin’s route and gone through Jaehee’s route. I’ve got these information from others.) ☓ He has cared for Yoosung such as encouraging him to study well so he could offer him a job at C&R. He also has sent Yoosung’s mother to visit him because they can develop their relationship.(?) ☓ No matter how much Zen hated him, he tried his best to get along with him. When Zen felt down, he has visited him at a secret location and had comforted him not like a businessman or a cold-hearted person but as a true friend. In fact, he has offered him help to stabilize his career. He also offered him to be the model for the cat commercial. ☓ About Jaehee, everyone will think how the hell Jumin helped her. Of course he had. He gave her a vacation considering her enormous duty as his assistant. He actually cared for her. He also let Jaehee stay at his apartment during Yoosung’s route so she’ll be safe. He says that he trusts Jaehee so much. ☓ He helped at Saeran’s abduction so that could be said as a help for Seven. He has done so much. Too much for the RFA that he doesn’t deserve to be called as a douche. To be honest, he is the biggest supporter and the caretaker of RFA. Can y'all remember how worried he was when everyone was in danger because of the hacker? In fact, he immediately assigned bodyguards for everyone’s safety. He even tried several times to contact V so he could take care of MC’s safety. It says that he was the most anxious one when MC and Seven visited Mint Eye headquarters. Even V states that they have nothing to worry about since they have Jumin who could take a step when RFA is in danger. And for the player, his caring and support is immense. ☓ He concerns for her in every route. ☓ He says he supports her and her affair. (with the relevant member) ☓ He always think about her safety. ☓ He cracks jokes with her, gets advice from her and worry about her health. Just like a father. ☓ He even volunteered in sending a vehicle in Zen’s route so the player could go and visit Zen. So how can you call him a douche? How can you not love this beautiful person with a golden heart? Lastly, what I have to say is, Stop bashing Jumin Han. It’s fine to bash him if he was actually inhumane but he is not. DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER. Not only Jumin but y'all would never know what is actually happening in a person’s life so think twice before speaking a word. Some would think that I’m crazy for speaking for a fictional, 2D character who doesn’t even exist but alive or not, I don’t care. Jumin Han deserves so much of love and respect from everyone. Stop treating him like he is a shitty gay meme and a heartless brat who doesn’t give two shits about RFA. I also think that the main purpose of Cheritz to create Jumin and his storyline is to give some kind of a message to the world. Not to judge a person so easily just by their external personality without knowing their actual state. So now I believe that those who thinks about Jumin in a negative way, will change the way they’re thinking. Deep inside, he is such a sweet, adorable man.

So the rant is finally finish. I actually didn’t know how to start and how to finish. I’ve wanted to do this since a long time ago. It’s really hard to watch Jumin being dispensed of injustice instead of justice. Please support him and understand him. I didn’t intend to offend anyone and RFA. I love them anyways but I love Jumin more!!!! Thanks for reading, everyone! If you have any matter, please message me.

"Two weeks in Lyme Regis does sound nice" ugh Shelagh's so adorable but LETS HERE IT FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT™ BC SHE DIDN'T EVEN REALLY ASK TO GO ON  HOLIDAY EVEN THOUGH SHE OBVIOUSLY WANTED TO & IN THE NEXT SERIES SHE PLANNED THE WHOLE DAMN TRIP WITHOUT TELLING HIM👏🏼 LOVE IT lol even though camping was a disaster

It's been 3 fucking mins and look at all the shit I've said wow I hate me

Pats and Trix!! I miss their friendship

Haha omg this is right after Trixie and Tom broke up #awkward

"Wild peach, isn't it glorious?" I love my other bby trixie. We are so similar but she's better 💕

SISTER E 😭😭😭 I miss her aww

Omg &Sister Mary Cynthia! she just became a nun aw I miss her being so happy 💔 I hope she's in the Christmas special or Series 7 Premiere

"Ready?" ugh I just think of all the times we're heard that, like Trixie asking Shelagh when she was about to get married *hello my two favs interacting its iconic for me* or when Trixie told Sister MC off she wanted to ask her if she was ready when she went to become a postulant like if she was getting married,  my heart 😭 UPDATE: I made a post about it

speaking of my gal Beatrix here she is again

I want to be that platinum blonde tbh

Sister Julienne saying "little man" yes I'm here for this such thing

little Raymond like ST Raymond or the baby that was left on the steps .. wait what happened to him? I forgot lol it's been a while

I do not like Sister Mj's absence

but yes her nephew! Did he just like stop picking her up??

Aw Trixie wanted to hug sister MC I can tell, nuns can hug though why didn't she?

we were robbed of a cute sister MC & sister W young- nun dynamic duo

but I like sister Winifred so much more now she's lowkey golden

Diphtheria yikes

LMAO FRED HAS A DU RAG ON ??

I forgot that the old nurses uniforms were so washed out looking

sweetie, if a ANGLICAN NUN is telling you the baby needs more than prayer wouldn't you believe it ??

like wtf is Christian scientist anyway, yo no se

lol calm down Barbara that's a lot to translate

woah Pat's looks hella good with her hair like that 😍

my bby Trixie serving looks but is heartbroken 😍😢💔

THE PICTURE OF HER AND CYNTHIA!! THAT IS NOW ON HER VANITY MIRROR !! MY H E A R T

*twerks to the bicycle song*

"She says where he goes, we go - even the moon" ahh again my heart!! & it's so similar to what shelagh said in the last Christmas special 😭💕 *i think it was a bible reference but I can't remember bc my memory is fuzzy from being a reckless heathen* jk jk😂

How does a faja type belt help her?

I initially really liked Trixie and Tom but I'm so glad they found better matches

yo I'd be shook though if my baby's bones kept breaking and I didn't know why omg

The nurses being cute eating popsicles outside lol

aw wait Fred and Violet weren't together yet here, they're so cute haha

again so wild, like imagine no one knowing what your baby is hurt and no one believing that you didn't abuse your child?! I cNt

so scary

Ameerah is so pretty & how sweet omg she brought Babs a dish. She misses having girl friends omg!

The Poor Pentergasts

I feel you Mrs ^, I scream into my hands at least 3x a day *for obvs diff reasons*

Baby Angela💕💕 so precious

aw Patrick & Shelagh😭 but now that shelagh's been on her nightie game this blue nightgown should finally go #hereforthebrinylon™

Shit now Patrick is going to realize and blame himself

let Patrick not feel guilty for anything in series 7, cut this guy a break pls

osteogenesis imperfecta yup I remembered ✔️ well I remember watching this with my mom & her calling if before they knew it and I was annoyed bc She can't just watch she always has to be a nurse & put her opinion out there😂 like we watched the finale yesterday and I thought there'd be some suspense but nah she knew the pill gave her a deadly blood clot😒she was surprised they killed the first women described it to though

Shelagh's face while Patrick gets in the ambulance 😭💔

I miss the nuns singing !! mainly miss Laura singing but still!! it's very peaceful you feel?? let me hear some hymns

I feel you Patrick, you smoke that cig

Alright damn Mr Pentergast, I feel your anger but wtf were they supposed to think??

I get anxious watching Patrick be anxious tbh omg xzjkalsfo

the way he fidgets the pen so relatable

Shelagh kissing him on the forehead and the cheek 😢😭💔💕melts my cold little heart

"I don't want my Geraldine being seen by the receptionist" fuck u lady she's the best damn nurse out here Lmaoo

But seriously did everyone just forget she was a nurse/midwife when she was a nun? it has only been like a year since she left and got married so I wouldn’t think people would forget just yet but maybe? wtf lol. I feel like their story was such gossip that it'd be unforgettable? that's just me Lmaoo

Go get that uniform Shelagh!!!

she's so patient, dios te bendiga. She’s too good.

my angry self would've been like "do 👏🏼 ya👏🏼not👏🏼get👏🏼that👏🏼I 👏🏼was👏🏼 a nurse 👏🏼and 👏🏼delivered 👏🏼like 👏🏼half 👏🏼of 👏🏼your👏🏼 gremlin 👏🏼 children?!" Or "you don't want me to help? Okay there's the door, don't let it hit you on the way out"!

SHE'S GETTING THE UNIFORM PEOPLE

okay I don't think I've ever thought about it until now but Shelagh talks about Patrick's war neurosis with Sister Julienne like she already knew?? I bet Shelagh went to her after the adoption interview 😭

ugh I love their friendship/relationship it's so pure

This whole show is so pure! how can it remind you of the darkness in the world while still giving you faith in humanity??  There's nothing like it

I told you I caught my mom up with series 6 & she was just like "I can't believe we have to wait so long. Why can't America make a show as great as this?"

I then said "I know I have like no reason to live until Christmas" but she said i was being dramatic oops

*cue in the mirror*✨

SHE'S PUTTING ON THE UNIFORM PEOPLE THIS IS NOT A DRILL

you guys don't get how happy this made me when I first saw it omg, I was so tired of seeing her sad/upset and lost and distressed and everything but happy but THEN SHE PUT THE UNIFORM ON AND THE LITTLE HAT AND LOOKED IN THE DAMN MIRROR WITH HER MILLON DOLLAR SMILE AND I WANTED TO COMBUST I WAS SO HAPPY I WAS IN TEARS😭😭💖💖

SHELAGH TURNER DESERVES THE WORLD AND MORE, I WILL ALLOW NO ONE TO DISAGREE

AND IF U DO WE CAN FIGHT RN

I'm so proud of how far my bby has come ugh I can't deal

It's 1am why am I being a little emotional bitch™ ?? Ugh I just love this character

I'd fight for Shealgh or Trixie/ Laura and Helen in real life. They are gifts we don't deserve

BUT ALSO, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME ALL THESE PEOPLE DIDNT BELIEVE SHE WAS A NURSE & THEN SAW HER IN A NURSE UNIFORM THE NEXT TIME AND QUESTIONED NOTHING???

Like I know it wasn't the same people but still word gets around?

Shelagh and Tim's hug aww

Can we pls see a cute moment between them? We were played with that hospital scene in 6.4 bc it was like 2 seconds long

Patrick's pyjamas though >

the flat filled with things from patients is so sweet aww

How did no one else in Ameera's house get sick though?

Angela looking so adorable wow what a pretty baby

the real million $ question is, will we ever see Mrs B? Probs not Lmaoo

Still waiting for the day Timothy Turner has an angsty teen moment bc his unrealistic perfect child-ness has been going on too long

Disregarding that time he was mean to Shelagh in series 3, I won't forget it bc I wanted to smack him 😂👋🏼

*shelagh voice* Dr Turner's back to save poplar from ill health and disease

THE WAY HE LOOKS AT SHELAGH WHEN HE REALIZES IT WAS HER IN THE NURSES UNIFORM

ALSO I'm sure he realized a kink he didn't know he had lol 😭😂

tracheotomy 😬 how do they make it look so real ahhh!? wild

"..Because I have you" BYEEEE 😭😭💖💔💔💔 my heart melted into a puddle & I can no longer live

the first kiss that you can't even see !! But still it took a season & a half for the married couple to kiss!😂

Ok shh Vanessa is gonna say something profound I must hear

Who tf am i talking to? I'm losing my damn marbles

And yes that's a Hook reference

"Humanity is fragile and all the sunshine in the world can't save the frail or make the delicate invincible but love has the power to strengthen and protect and guide us to a place where we feel sheltered and fulfilled. Where it doesn't matter if it rains for we are home and dry"

UGH SUCH GOLD!!!

And Shelagh holding Angela next to Ameerah and her new baby, my heart!!

such an amazing show

The End.. until next time..

[tori10rambles]

Caught up to BNHA!!! Wow, I enjoy it a lot more than I thought I would!

More about my thoughts under the cut

Arc Commentary: 

Hero License Arc (98-120): I thought this was pretty cool? Like, so cool to see the other schools and other Quirks out there. Also, Izuku coming out of left field to give Todoroki and Yoarashi a verbal bitch slap was awesome. Speaking of, I like that the fight with Izuku didn’t just... automatically fix all of Todoroki’s issues with his father. And yeah, there was proof that he was getting better in the Hero Killer Arc, but the fact that he kind of backslid because of being compared to Endeavor was nice,  mostly because it’s not unrealistic to backslide in your healing/improvement.

Also, Bakugo vs. Izuku Round 2! Awesome to look at, honestly.  Also, these two finally hashing out their shit in a way they both understand. Bakugo’s breakdown at the end felt really damn therapeutic, from a secondhand standpoint.

As a side note, I love these chapters, where we can see everyone’s personalities shine in how they decorated their rooms.

Izuku : Fanboy! So much fanboy!!! I kind of love it though, because this kid just honestly loves Heroes.

Tokoyami: I love his room? Honestly, it’s how I would’ve decorated mine when I was 15-ish?

Aoyama: ...I dub thee German Sparkle Party Kid.

Mineta: How haven’t you been expelled yet?

Ojirou: Clearly one of the most normal of the lot. I love it, because it looks like my college dorm room.

Iida: jfc it’s like a miniature library. Also, he’s prepared for shit to go wrong (like his glasses breaking), which I appreciate.

Kaminari: Looks like my brothers’ rooms.

Kouda: So cute! So pure!

Kirishima: Looks like what I assume a college fratboy’s room would look like?

Shouji: ...jfc you are allowed more shit than that, Shouji.

Sero: I like it!!! It looks very tropical to me?

Todoroki: JFC, how did you do that in so little time? I love that he still thinks of his home as a home, and has modelled his room at school after it? “...I worked really hard” just doesn’t explain how the hell he turned a western-style room into a Japanese one, but damn if that kind of effort isn’t amazing.

Satou: Cake! I love his room! There’s cake! No wonder he won the contest for best room.

Jirou: All those instruments! So cool! The fact that she knows the basics of all of them is amazing too.

Hagakure: Very cute, very much like my cousin’s room.

Ashido: Her clutter feels like my clutter, honestly.

Ochako: Simple, but I feel like it’s her.

Momo: ...jfc how did you manage to fit that much stuff there? The positioning of the furniture feels like my room though, because everything is kinda squeezed together.

Internship Arc: (121-current): This one was written as I read, so sorry folks. It’s gonna be long.

I really, really like the Big Three? They’re dorks, but they’re clearly good at what they do, and I love that being top students have nothing to do with being conventionally smart.

I have a bad feeling about Eri, you guys. And not in a “she’s dangerous” vibe, but more of a “she needs help y’all.”

I really love how the internship arc showcases exactly how hard it is for Izuku to balance an internship and education in the beg. which is why my lazy butt never got one in college. But also, getting a better look at the kind of society BNHA has is so intriguing.

Dad Might!!! who went into that last fight with All for One guns blazing and thinking this was where he’d die, but deciding to live because of Izuku!!!! And Izuku!!! Deciding he’s sticking with Toshinori no matter what!!! I just... these guys. They’ve adopted each other is2g. Someone find me a fic where Izuku give Toshinori something for Father’s Day. Please.

What the fuck. wHAT tHE FUCK. Eri. Oh my god, Eri. Good job staying away from creepy doctor dude, but oh my god, stay safe!!!

The brOTP between Izuku, Iida, and Todoroki continues to be amazing.

Save Eri! That’s all I ask! But damn, Amajiki is badass when he’s in the right mindset.

I love this insight into Kirishima??? I just... love Class 1-A (minus Mineta)???

Togata!!! :D You got her! Now get her away!!!!!

Fuck. Togata!!!! Also, the bond between Amajiki and Togata is strong here. Also, I love that despite not having his quirk anymore, he still jumped in there. 

What the fuck. Chisaki. you bastard.

Character Opinions (mostly new characters):

Amajiki: The social anxiety/awkwardness is strong in this one. I like his quirk though! I feel his pessimism on a spiritual level though.

Hadou: Gadfly. A powerful gadfly, but a gadfly.

Togata: ...His face creeps me out because of how different it is from everyone else’s. But goddamn is he badass. Not surprised that he was a possible successor to All Might. I love that despite being shot by the Quirk-destroying bullet, he still went and fought. Because goddamn, a quirk is not the be all end all of being a hero.

Chisaki: ASSHOLE. This guy... His quirk is amazing, but he himself? I hate him more than I hate Shigaraki and the League of Villains.

Sir Nighteye: Strict, but goddamn he’s a bigger fanboy than our MC. I can see why he’s so strict though, given the things he knows dreads will come to pass.

Eri: My dear sunshine child. Protect her. proTECT hER. She deserves NONE OF THIS.

Fatgum: I like him! Like, I love how he’s so encouraging to his interns, and I love that he’s just so very supportive of them and what they do as well. The Fatgum-Amajiki-Kirishima Team is one of my favorite new dynamics.

Some final thoughts that summarize my feels:

Class 1-A is amazing (except Mineta)

The Big Three deserve their names

Eri is precious and I hope she is saved and gets to live with someone who will love her

Dad Might is the Best Might

Aizawa is badass and loves his kids.

The Yuuei faculty is badass.

Chisaki can kiss my ass

Endeavor can drown in the Marianas Trench

I’m shipping TodoDeku really fucking hard right now
