The proshipping problem in the twst fandom | A rant.

Very obvious trigger warning for things normal for proshippers like p3dophilia, incest, etc.

Though I do know proshippers will be in every single fandom, it's getting especially worse in the twst fandom, specifically the Japanese side of the fandom (with some discussions about some in the English side too).

Before any proshippers come into the comment section: Proshipping is NOT a healthy coping mechanism. If your therapist recommended it, they should be fired.

This post is not to dehumanize and degrade underage proshippers as they have been obviously groomed into believing that it was okay to ship this sort of stuff.

The actual elephant in the room we WILL be shunning is the adult proshippers who actively encourage children (either actually or under law) to proship.

Before getting fully deep in this subject, I would like to admit something that I've talked about before.

I was a proshipper when I was younger than what I am now. This was because, not getting into too much detail, I was groomed by a man online to the point that i thought it was okay.

Not only was I a proshipper but I was also a darkshipper, problematic comshipper, and also supported the things present in Dead Dove fanfics.

In fact, I had an account on some sort of forum page with other proshippers and I shared my nasty ships there. I believed it was a good way of desensitizing myself to my trauma that fucked me up heavily, but it wasn't and it was making me relive the same trauma which in return, made it worse.

This is why I say that I do not want anyone to shun underage proshippers, they were groomed into it half of the time.

Now that I'm 18 (About to turn 19 on February 14th), I finally understand that proshipping is an unhealthy way of approaching your trauma and pain.

It may feel like it does something, but it really doesn't. And I want to reassure you that you're not alone in your pain, please, find other ways to cope and process what has happened to you that doesn't include glorifying very nasty things.

Now with that out the way, I would like to say what the title says.

Proshippers in the twst fandom has sadly grown overtime, but my niece made a very good point; stating that since twst does have a slightly dark story, that people with dark and nasty thoughts and ideas will be attracted to it, much like a moth to a flame that damages it's already fragile body.

There have been adults in the twst proshipper area, and I think they're the main cause of fueling minors in the fandom to do the same thing. Maybe with or without knowing the eventual psychological consequences.

The adults who are aware sadly lure and prey on the gullible underage individuals of the fandom, and though that might seem like an overexaggeration; it sadly is true.

I am Japanese, well, half-Japanese. But even then, due to that fact, I'm more prevalent in the Japanese fandom than the English fandom though I am trying to balance out both.

Since I am more present in the Japanese side of the fandom than I am with the English side (because I'm basically like an absent dad that went off to get the milk and never came back until years), I have seen a lot of shit in here and it's very scary even to this day.

Though the English side of the fandom is as equally bad, the Japanese side is worse with the whole l0li and sh0ta thing. Sadly I have seen English twst accounts do those things too.

The most popular proshipper you may know is Ugigi or however the fuck you spell her name, whether one likes to admit it or not, her selfships were very much proshipping. This is mainly due to how her OC could've been her actual age which was in her 20s if I'm remembering correctly.

But let's say the OC wasn't, it would still be problematic (but not in the proship way) since the characters she drew NSFW of were mainly the minors (again, if I remember correctly). If her OC was her actual age then she would be a proshipper.

However, watever the age of the OC she always drew, it's obvious that it was still leaning more on proshipping because that indicates that she's attracted to the characters despite knowing they're minors (and not even aging them up by the way).

So, very nasty, I was thinking of putting her In the TWs 😭

All jokes aside, proshipping is disgusting.

In fact, must I bring up any other thing?

LEECHCEST.

WHAT.

Well, you heard that right, people ship Floyd and Jade. Seriously, what is wrong with you guys. And I think I know why this ship is so popular in the Japanese fandom; The fact incest is not necessarily illegal in Japan in a way.

Yeah. You heard me correctly. I'm horrified and scarred for life <3

"Surely there isn't anymore I shall talk about, right? Right?? RIGHT?!?" I exclaim, not expecting anything else to come from the sky and hit me.

Then boom..

SHROUDCEST.

OH FUCK NOT AGAIN.

So, apparently people ship a dead robotic little boy with his big brother.. yeah... FNAF fandom called, they're telling you not to steal their bit much like how Deejus is trying to tell Johnny RaZeR not to steal his "YOUTUBEEE" outro bit that.. he also stole.

It can't get any worse than this, right? This is definitely the last tier of the iceberg, surely? Perhaps??-

KINGSCHOLARCEST.

Okay, now we're pushing it, this bit is getting old but whatever.

Kingscholarcest can refer to three (disgusting) "ships": A nasty ship of Cheka x Leona, a nasty ship of Falena x Leona, or a nasty ship of Falena x Leona x Cheka.

Sweet home Alabama all around but more extreme..

I think we all know why these ships are not okay and are disgusting (ESPECIALLY CHEKA X LEONA SINCE CHEKA IS A GOO GOO GA GA BABY.)

Finally.. It's over.. I can go back to ranting!-

FELLOW X GIDEL.

JESUS CHRIST STOP.

This madness needs to stop because if not I'm going to pull my fucking hair out!-

LILMAL, SILVER X LILIA, S-

OKAY STOP IT RIGHT HERE,, THE BIT IS OLD NOW.

So, I think you get my point.

Borderline incestuous ships, the drake specialty, and straight up sweet home right to Alabama.

Now, let's put aside the jokes and get serious again.

With all the things I have stated, you can definitely see the absolute horror of some parts of the fandom.

There's accounts that are VERY hypocritical, saying "P3dos DNI" when they are a sh0ta/l0licon. This is the literal definition of hypocrisy at it's finest.

There are mfs who have unironically said that Cheka was hot and romantically cute.. HE'S 7 YEARS OLD. OR MAYBE YOUNGER. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER BUT I DO KNOW HE IS A CHILD.

I have said this MANY times before and I'll say it again; if that characters looks like a child, THEY ARE A CHILD.

Even if you age up characters like Ortho, Cheka, etc. You are still self-reporting that you're attracted to a literal child.

Fiction DOES affect reality no matter if you try to plug your mickey mouse ears with your fingers (or paws, I don't know) to gaslight yourself into believing it doesn't truly affect it.

In fact, there have been cases where people have been arrested for having l0li/sh0ta on their devices, though, sadly, its not a long sentence despite how it should be lifelong.

But even without the lifelong sentence, the law still considers l0li/sh0ta CSAM. (I hate calling it CP now since that implies that kids can do that in their own will.)

A grown adult proshipper even told me when I criticized Kanna from dragon maid for being a little girl the author sexualizes to no end all because I said that she doesn't have a listed age that I was being "contradicting" and I think this proves that.. proshippers DON'T know what contradictions ACTUALLY are because they've gaslit so much into believing this disgusting behavior is normal and okay to do.

And don't get me started on Dead Dove cai, chai, etc. bots and fanfics.

Dead Dove, proshipping, problematic comshipping, darkshipping, doveshipping, etc. doesn't give out awareness to the horrors of such depraved acts.

Another very nasty thing I've seen in the TWST fandom is people shipping the staff with the students, mainly Crewel with Deuce.

Teacher x Student is disgusting no matter what. Teachers are always more grown than the students, so yeah, teachers aren't the anime boy or girl of your dreams or something, he or she's going to be old and otherwise not "attractive" and young.

The training to become a teacher and any profession in fact will take years, which means you'll grow and turn old.

I understand many say "Well, it's just fiction!" but these people seem to forget that young individuals, especially young girls, can see these teacher x student fiction and will probably, in the worst case scenario, get the wrong impression from it, ESPECIALLY if the media glamorizes and romanticize it, and sadly become a victim.

Crewel, If I'm not wrong, is 31 meanwhile Deuce and the other first years that [Crewel] mainly gets shipped with are 16 years old.

This is not only a disgusting, vomit-inducing age gap but huge maturity gap whether one likes to admit so or not.

Yanderes especially in the twst fandom get romanticized, and people seem to forget the reality of the abuse that yanderes put their "love interest(s)" through.

And I think this is why fandoms (not just twst) should stop romanticizing yanderes and student x teacher, and vice versa.

Besides, these two tropes are grooming even if the victim is not a minor, adults and the elderly alike can also be groomed especially if they're gullible and need to depend on someone (for either a disability or something).

People will probably invalidate my point but I don't budge from what I said.

Sorry if this posts looks rushed and/or maybe even incoherent to some, I just wanted to get this off my chest and stuff.

I should start ranting more, I like yapping so yeah, expect more whenever I'm bored :3

Anyways, BAIIII!!

YOUTUBEEEEEE flies away into the void to the right

[mechazushi]

Standing at the edge of the lowest platform at the base of the Jeager, were two of the mechanics that had been freshly reassigned to the newest arrival to the Shatterdome, The Divine Deliverance. A taller brunette with long hair wolf-whistled as her eyes trailed higher and higher up the metal monstrosity, taking in her size and design.

"Damn, she's wirey looking one. What do you think she runs on? Nuclear? Has to, right? I mean, she's got a Japanese sponsor, that's what they typically use."

"Worse. Experimental Cold Fusion." A short and quite round blond woman with a neck length bob next to her said, leaning most of her upper body weight on a 62 in, 72 pound pipe wrench.

"Shit." The brunette drawled out, " That means there's gonna be a half-dozen asshats swarmin' the base soon that are about to think they can tell us how to do our job."

"And about 30 safety meetings going over how this damn thing works." the blond woman said as she shifted her stance.

"And we don't even work on the core, that's Terry's crew!" The taller woman said as it jumped to her turn.

"My biggest problem with her is why the hell they gave her such massive hips?" The one wielding the pipe wrench piped up.

"And you of all people got a problem with that?" the brunette teased as she looked down at her friend with a knowing smirk.

"On a robot, yes!" the blond woman retaliated, "That means that there's going to be extra strain on the center-balance servos! Not only are they a bitch to replace, when one breaks, it sends shit all over the lube lines! Which means it's a twenty hour wait while the thing drains, and then I have to shimmy my fat ass through those damn tubes and collect bits and pieces of titanium shards bigger than my fist and heavier than my head! You know damn well that shit ain't fun!" She balanced the pipe wrench against her thigh and arched her back into an intense stretch, "Damn, now my back's cramping up just thinking about it."

Off in the distance behind them, they could sense a distinct change in the atmosphere behind them. The metal workers around them slowed down and became quieter in the process while the ammo loaders and other mech-preppers began to either clap and cheer, or disperse into hushed conversations. Well, hushed enough for the loud and busy environment they were in.

"And they're coming in right behind us, aren't they." the brunette said

"Yep." answered the other one.

The two of them turned around at the same time to get a good look at the pilots entering the main loading deck. Their eyes got bigger and bigger as they got a better view while the newcomers got closer.

"Damn! Like Jeager, like owner." The taller woman harshly growled out as her friend nodded her head in stunned silence. They watched as the pair of attractive and athletically built women strutted closer and closer to their Jeager.

"Ya know, maybe we should get going. Probably shouldn't give the impression that there's lazy people working on something so precious to a Jeager pilot." the blond woman said nervously as she tried to shoulder her wrench and scuttle away.

Her friend's smile grew into a malicious grin as it dawned on her as to why she wanted to leave quickly. Grabbing the back of her overalls, she dragged her closer to the newest arrivals to the Shatterdome.

"Better idea. Let's introduce ourselves." the brunette said playfully. Her shorter friend tried to fight back and voice how this was a terrible idea, but as they got closer the taller woman managed to wrap her forearm around her friend's face and effectively muffle her protests.

"So, I take it from all the commotion that you two are the Divine Deliverance Pilots?" The brunette answered for both of them.

The twins turned to her with surprise on their faces, but took the interruption in stride, gladly taking the opportunity to engage in conversation.

"Yep! I'm Devar and this is Deil. I've been wanting the chance to talk to somebody that's working on DiDe here." The woman with the short hair and the shaved left side spoke. She carried a chipper kind of energy that seemed almost infectious. Her twinwith the twin-tails and the right half shaved came up and propped up an elbow on her sister's shoulder before she joined in the conversation.

"Uhhh, what's up with your friend there?" The one supposedly named Deil questioned, having a much deeper tone and a more relaxed vibe to her presence.

"Nice to meet you both. I'm Audrey and this is Riley, we call her Rivets around here. Don't worry about this, it's just a preventative measure to keep her from embarrassing herself around pretty women." The brunette answered casually.

The blond one trapped in her arm slowly turned her head to look at her captor with murder in her eyes. Deil turned her head to the side and tried to hide a snort of laughter while Devar bit her lips in amusement before continuing.

"That's... good to know. Would either one of you happen to know anyone that would be familiar with the legs of a model similar to our DiDe here?" Devar asked.

"Ahh! That would actually be Rivets here. Go on girl, show them where that lack of a dating scene has gotten you." Audrey joked as she unraveled her arm from around Riley's head. She took the chance to smack Audrey in the kneecap with the wrench before beginning her interrogative inspection.

"What seems to be the problem?" She started. She had to wait for Deil to pull herself together before she could get an answer.

"Yeah, so, Devar thinks I'm crazy for this, but I swear I can feel a vague vibrating coming from DiDe's right knee. I think it's especially noticeable when we're just doing half-strides."

"Disappears during full strides?" Riley asked.

"Couldn't tell ya. If we're doing full strides, then at that point we're about to start a fight." Deil responded. They all waited as Riley stared off into the distance in the direction of the knee in question. After a minute, it seemed that Riley came back to her senses as she blinked really fast and hard.

"The rubber gaskets around the pneumatic solenoids are stretching out. Nothing immediately life threatening, but if you think it's going to be a distraction later on, then we can try to get them replaced. It's going to depend on if we can get Gypsy Danger finished up and recalibrated before the next emergence." Riley finished as she donned her more official sounding voice that she used whenever she got roped into these sorts of conversations.

"And you just... have something like that here?" Devar questioned, wondering how they managed to store something that was supposedly the size of a Greyhound bus.

"Custom-made thirty miles outside of Denver. They've got an on demand storehouse where they keep a few different models on demand for emergency airlift. You're lucky she's outfitted with a standard '52B Hutcherson Solo otherwise we'd have to start kissing Italy's ass for anything in a different shape and you don't want to be here when I-" suddenly Audrey's arm wrapped itself back around Riley's mouth again once it was becoming clear that she wasn't about to stop talking anytime soon.

"See? Safety Measures." Audrey recalled. The twins nodded in unison once it became clear what she probably has to go through on a daily basis.

"Well I certainly feel better about leaving our baby girl in capable hands. I know you're supposed to report to our sponsor whenever you're asking to make repairs, but if it wouldn't trouble you too much, could you also send a head's up our way as well? " Devar politely pleaded with the two of them.

"Yeah, we're the crazy type of pilots that like to act like overbearing mothers to our giant metal ride-or-die." Deil finished the sentiment.

"Sound's great! You know, we can skip the hunting-you-down part of that request if you handed over your number to Rivet here. She's one of, like, five head mechanics that oversee your Jeager anyway, so it would be a good way to keep up with the changes before your boss even knows anyway." Audrey slyly added on while trying to fight a very angry Riley tucked into her arm.

"Hell yeah! Sounds amazing!" Deil said as she whipped out her phone. Audrey punched in her friend's number and waited for the receiving phone to ding. Once it did, she handed the phone back and started to drag her friend away.

"Thanks for settling that! We'll be sure we'll get around to that gasket problem soon!" Audrey yelled as both pairs parted ways. She waited for them to get an acceptable distance away before she released her grip on her friend.

"I believe a 'Thank you' is in order." Audrey said smugly.

"Yes it is." Riley replied in an irritated tone, " It will come in the form of your headstone matching your casket."

"Aww, come on. You can't be that mad, can you? I did you a lot of favors back there!" Audrey exclaimed, not bothering to hide her excitement.

"You should have known better! You know I am a consummate professional and I have rightfully gained that title by not entertaining distractions." Riley said as she shouldered her massive pipe wrench.

"I guess we're about to see how well that keeps up." Audrey replied back as she rolled her eyes. She watched as Riley walked away and ever closer to the dangerously unprotected ledge that led off to the pit the Jeager stood in.

"Always gotta have the last word." Riley mumbled to herself as she stepped off the platform and shockingly dropped from view.

If anyone wasn't the wiser, they would have thought that she had dropped to her death from her previous embarrassment. Unfortunately, monsters wait for no one's drama and neither do robot repairs. Landing on the metal grate of a wide bucket lift, she played around with the controls until they made her slowly rise from the pit she purposely fell into. Ascending up from the depths, she caught her friend's gaze as they both went off to start their day's work

"No time for slacking on the job, Audrey! We've got shit to fix!"

Noo...I'm not dead..I just can't finish sh*t right now, instead I start new shit each day, to add to my pile of shame.. :|

it just keeps happening, I don't know why..I know exactly why, but whatever

Soo, I came up with this idea, of two new OCs for the Kaijuverse...but it turned out kinda..complex..

What I thought of was the Hoshina-family tree (with the 1st and 4th son thing, you know what I mean). I tried to come up with an idea for the "middle" siblings....and I made them twins....aaand kinda smashed the Pacific Rim AU onto it just because.. 🫡 Yeah, I'd thought of a reason why they haven't appeared yet, and this is what I came up with:

Besides the issue with low combat power and mediocre performance with the sword, the two sisters where not quite what you'd call "presentable" for a formal reknowned kaiju slaying family clan. Even in modern times some might believe in twins to be a bad omen for a family and the lack in sword skill was seen proof of that by some.*

So when in highschool both where sent to leave for an exchange year to the U.S. Away from home and disapproving looks they finally thrived. (In this version of the AU, I kinda imagine the Pacific Rim methodics to be the American way to handle with Kaiju attacks, where they can upkeep a stable society and stuff just like Japan).

While failing to fight Kaiju in a combat suit, they are now outstanding together as jaeger pilots, preferebly using no additional weapons, but the adapted Hoshina hands-on fighting style, which they mastered and altered to their needs, 'till it could be perfectly transmitted to a jaeger. Despite their success abroad, the Hoshina clan is not eager to spread more news about them than necessary. While Soshiro couldn't grasp the events around his sisters much, due to his young age, Soichiro was especially hurt seeing his little sisters leave. It might caused him to try not to be as attached to his last remaining sibling. But when he saw how his bragging got Soshiro on his toes and skyrocket his training, he thought he'd found a way to prevent his brother from his families displeasement. Even if it meant giving up on a close bond with his brother in exchange.

Now, grown-up, the twins don't have contact with the Hoshina clan, or their father, but occasionally chat with their brothers just to catch up.

---------

*I am so very anxious when talking about another cultures law. I am "educated" by limfamy's youtube videos, and saw this one, where he explained that Japanese families frowned upon twin and/or tripplet births before the 2nd half of the Edo Period. Of course this has changed in modern times, and my accusement there might me people still believing in old ways, is a sheer assumption for the sake of my plot.

So VERY sorry, if I get this wrong, please don't hate me, and I'd love to be corrected if there's need to!

(This is also why they are nameless btw, I don't dare trying the find fitting names that work in japanese with the 1st,2nd,3rd and smth... if anybody knows more about this stuff and has suggestions you're more than welcome to share, i'd love to hear them!!)

summary: nicole piastri ships y/n with yuki and is determined to get them together.

warnings: none

pairing: fem! reader x yuki tsunoda

genre: fluff

face claim: none

author note: tbh this sucks, but yuki retired and im upset.

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

y/n can clearly remember when her crush on yuki tsunoda started:

oscar had only talked about the japanese male a few times, his mother absolutely loved him. when the australian grand prix came around, oscar had ( unwillingly ) invited his own teammate along with yuki tsunoda, daniel couldn't join them since he was going to spend time with his family, but sent a gift basket to thank her for the invite.

y/n was very nervous about interacting with the two drivers since she never strayed too far from the garage or hospitality when attending the races.

she was busy chatting with hattie at the table when they arrived. oscar greeted his friends and guided them through the house, y/n making sure to keep her head down and pretend to type away as they came in.

“thought you only had three sisters?” lando asked once they were out of ear shot

oscar shrugged, “we grew up together, it’s basically the same thing”

“no, it isn’t” lando argued

“yes, it is”

“no. it isn’t”

“yes. it is”

“isn’t”

“is”

while the two mclaren drivers argued, yuki greeted oscar’s mum to brought him into a hug before ushering him out of the kitchen and refusing his help. yuki sat down at the table and smiled at y/n who had looked up to see who sat across from him.

“i’m yuki” he reached his hand out and y/n wiped her slightly sweaty hands onto her skirt / shorts / pants

“y/n”

“so, how do you know, oscar?”

“we went to primary together”

y/n thought that yuki was quite sweet for talking to her, but figured it would change the moment oscar or lando came — but, it didn’t. yuki was curious and wanted their conversation to go on forever, he liked talking with her and found himself glancing in her direction every few seconds.

nicole noticed this and couldn’t help, but let out a giggle.

since then, her mission had been clear: get y/n and yuki to date.

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

it was no secret to fans that nicole piastri absolutely adored yuki and made jokes about her basically adopting him into the family since oscar is considered a leclerc now. every time y/n would accompany the piastri family to a race, nicole would drag her off to see yuki before making up some excuse to leave them alone ( despite all the staff members that were also around ). y/n knew what nicole was doing, but kept quiet.

“y/n!” she looked up from her phone to see who had called out her name and smiled at seeing yuki jogging towards her

“hi, yuki” he reciprocated her smile before stopping just a few centimetres in front

“oscar’s mum just came by, but you didn’t, so i came to find you” she felt herself grow warm at his words

“oh, sorry, must’ve been too caught up with oscar”

an uncomfortable silence fell between them as everyone else moved around the pair, completely unaware of their thoughts.

“should i walk away now?”

“should i tell her what oscar’s mum told me?”

yuki cleared his throat and it made y/n pull her eyes away from the slightly cloudy sky.

“so — oscar’s mum told me that you have a crush on me…”

y/n’s eyes widened as yuki nervously played with his hands before continuing on.

“she did what? should i run? i should probably run. how did she even know? was i that obvious or was yuki oblivious? fuck —“ her internally monologue was cut off by yuki speaking

“sorry, um, if you’re not busy after the race. do you want to eat with me?”

“oh! um, sure” yuki smiled and y/n tried to reciprocate it, but her beating heart didn’t stop

“okay. um, so, i probably have to go back now” he glanced down at his watch and y/n nodded silently already taking a few steps back

“i’ll see you later”

“bye” y/n said quietly while waving at him

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

extra scene

oscar looked at his mother with a weird expression as she explained her plan to get y/n with yuki.

“what if rejects her and she comes crying to the garage?” she waved him off

“he likes her back” oscar didn’t believe her

“mum, i don’t know”

“don’t be a wet blanket, oscar” one of his sisters spoke as she walked past him and he just sighed

~

nicole gave her son a smug smile as she watched yuki and y/n from inside mclaren’s hospitality. he shook his head, not believing his mother’s faith in yuki liking y/n — he didn’t even know she liked him, but was brushed off by his mother who wasn’t surprised.

“hey, y/n” oscar called out as she made her way towards them

“hey, osc” he rolled his eyes at the nickname

“what were you and tsunoda talking about?”

“he asked me on a date?” his mother smiled widely at her words

“that’s sounds more like a question…” he trailed off making nicole glare at him, upset that he’s ruining the fantasy of her ship

“well, he asked me to eat with him after the race. it might be cause nicole told him that i liked him-“ she gave the older woman a look, but she pretended not to notice “-but, yeah” oscar just sighed, again

➢ Description : A Q&A video with Y/R/N and Aidan Ghallagher.

➢ Word Count : 1,750

➢ Links : Masterlist && Character Profile

➢ Note : Not gonna lie, I am uncomfortable about writing a real person 😭, well, real people in general. That's why in this fanfic, Mr. Gallagher may come off as OOC. So please don't be surprised that I focused more on the reader's chaotic energy to contrast with Mr. Gallagher's tame personality. For the record, Y/R/N means your real name. Also please comment or let me know if you want a part 2 but with your questions instead.

Q&A with The Umbrella Academy cast ft. Aidan Gallagher and Y/R/N

"Hello everyone! As promised I promised to you guys, I brought over Y/R/N who plays Number Zero of the Umbrella Academy, for today's video." Aidan Ghallagher introduced the girl beside him who wore a large cardigan and an unamused look on her face. 

"Are you for real?" Y/R/N asked, not humoured by Adian’s introduction but the actor looked amused by his fellow co-star’s reaction.

"Is that all you have to say I mean? You don't have a catchphrase or introduction for your channel?" She added but the brunette actor ignored her words knowing she’s just jesting for the video. 

"Anywho, we will be answering some of your questions and we will be providing our answers to the best of our abilities."

The (your hair color) actor huffs and pretends to be hurt by being ignored. 

"Oh yeah, I just wanted to double check Y/R/N, are you okay with answering the questions-"

"Of course I am, if I wasn't I wouldn't be here."

"You've been in my channel for 15 seconds and your already acting like it's yours."

The actress dramatically flips her hair then bats her lashes at the camera making Aidan laugh, "It's my job to make this entertaining. I know you can't possibly handle the weight of being the only star."

The boy smiles, clearly entertained by her actions but, managed to stifle his laughter. "We might as well start with the questions before this becomes her channel."

"So the first question is from, moe-moe-kyunette, I uh, did I say that right?" Aidan looked doubtful once he said the username then looked at Y/RN to help him out.

"Ship it and clip it everyone! You've tricked him into saying the thing!" The actress laughed as she slammed her fist against the table while holding her stomach, knowing the internet user just tricked Aidan into saying a meme.

"Wait, is it something bad?"

"Not a bad thing, it's like a japanese meme, an anime meme to be exact, about an idol girl trying to be cute so she says that."

"I see," As the actor was about to resume with the video but Y/R/N stopped him, "Wait, before you start, can you do the 'moe moe kyun' meme with the hand gestures?"

Aidan shook his head whilst smiling then resumed, "Well, they asked you the most important question. Have you ever listened to my music?"

The actress stiffened, "Did my manager really agree with the questions you picked?"

"Yes, yes, she did." He looks at her with a raised brow and an amused look then gestured to the camera, "Well, we are waiting Y/R/N."

"I-" She looks away flustered, "I'm sorry but I haven't listened to your music yet- I know I promised to listen to them but have not had the time to listen to them…"

"And why is that?" The brunette crosses his arms the look still on his face.

She nervously looks down at her feet, "It's just...I haven't been able to make time yet." He gives her a knowing look then gestures to the camera, "Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?"

"I just, I just- I just think that we should move on now! How about I read the next question?" She then nears the monitor, and Aidan is silently laughing. 

"So Aidan and Y/R/N, is it true you guys fought on set?" The girl quickly hides her face in her cardigan from the camera. " I should have never read the question voluntarily!"

The boy beside her chuckles, "But, to answer your question, we have never fought on set, some people just misinterpreted that we had a fight because she hit the back of my head."

The actress hides herself with the cardigan she wore, "Look! That's how I greet my friends. I know that's not how other conventionally greet others that's why I only did it to people I was close with."

"Let me," She takes in a deep breath, then removes the cardigan from her face. "Let me add some context to the story first, so I mistook Aidan for my friend Astrid without her wig on, and yes, I didn't notice he was wearing his costume!"

"So like, I greeted him by slapping the back of his head. He turned to me confused why I just did that and I ran away out of instinct and never explained it until he had the chance to corner me." 

Aidan was laughing so hard, "I had to corner her because I didn't want our scenes to become awkward than they already were. When I found out the reasoning I just forgave her but told her that she really shouldn't have ran away."

"It was instinct okay! That was not the first thing I thought of when I processed I just hit you. It didn't help either that we weren't friends yet, so I thought my whole career was ruined at that moment." The (your hair color) actress covered the half of her face. 

The boy smiled though it was his way of attempting to stop himself from laughing anymore at his fellow co-star’s flustered state. "Gajh1098 asked, what is that one trait we like about our character at the same time hate?"

Y/R/N gestures for Aidan to start first, "You can start first."

He nodded then prompted his chin on his hand, "I would have to say, I hate how Five is confident in himself to the point it comes off as arrogance. Being confident is not bad but if you have seen Y/R/N here-"

She jumped then exclaimed loudly, "What's that supposed to mean?!"

"She acts too confident on camera but we all know - especially the other casts members - that she's actually tamed. You can see on our interviews as a cast, that she's like that one cousin in the corner, that doesn't know what to say so she hides behind her other cousins."

The girl cringed, "Oh, god, you saw those memes? I was hoping you wouldn't." 

"I was literally there to witness it," The actor laughed then, added on. "Anywho, Y/R/N acts confident but it doesn't come off arrogant. She knows her limits but Five doesn't because he thinks he can do everything by himself that he ends up not recognizing that he can't do everything himself."

Y/R/N nods, "Yeah that's kinda toxic in a way. It's kinda like how in group works. You lead the group and end up doing everything yourself, because you don't trust your teammates. I can see why you wouldn't trust them but, you shouldn't push yourself to the point where you crash down."

Aidan nods then gestures at the girl, "Your turn to answer the question."

"So the one trait I dislike and like about Y/N is that she's flexible with handling people. She is very understanding, too understanding! She knows how to interact with them very well. It's a good trait in hindsight - especially in work places - but, it's not a good trait if you become so malleable that people take advantage of it." 

The actor nodded along agreeing with her words.

The actress then abruptly sat up shouting, "MY TURN! I wanna read the next question! Oh yeah, do we have to mention the usernames? Or are you going to show them on screen?" 

"I usually mention them because I feel like it makes them happy-"

"Well too bad! I'm going to make their day miserable." Y/R/N cheekily grinned. "This person asked why I always hide behind other people or hold onto their clothes like a child… Can we skip this?"

The boy chuckled, "No."

"Seriously, I feel like you and my manager are trying to humiliate me for the video.” She muttered under her breath, narrowing her eyes at Aidan suspiciously, “Anyways, I'm still getting used to cameras and it's kinda instinctual for me to do that I suppose? I'm not used to cameras since I have been used to working with microphones being a voice actor first and foremost."

His hazel's eyes light up, "Oh yeah, I recall you saying you were a VA, why did you audition for the show to begin with?"

The actress scratched her nape with a wry smile, "I thought it was a voice acting job not acting. I didn't even know until I was picked that it was an acting job. I scrambled to research on acting and kept asking the others if they could give me advice on acting."

He face palmed, smiling, "Did you not read what you were screening for?"

"To be fair, it was my manager who read it out loud, I just butted in and just said yes mindlessly because I saw the character designs and thought they were cool, I'm referring to the comics by the way."

"Next question from is from wbip8581, they asked how we become close?" The brunette male read the question outloud.

"Since Aidan and I got a lot of scenes together, I asked if we could work on them - like rehearse with each other so he could give me pointers on how to deliver my character."

"We hung out but, it was more on watching reality TV shows to examine and decipher how an angry person acts or how someone similar to Y/N acts." He added onto the girl’s explanation to which she nodded along.

"I think because of him, I got into watching Hell's kitchen," Both the actress and actor laughed at how true the statement was.

The brunette male then decided to move, "For now, this is the last question since I know the video is probably going to be long with how much Y/R/N rambles-"

"HEY!" The girl pretended to look offended by putting a hand over her heart.

Aidan chuckled, "So, the last question is from Immpotato10, do you two plan to make more videos together? Assuming that the Q&A does well."

"That depends really… although I like talking to Mr. Gallagher." She says his last name mockingly which made him roll his eyes, "I don't wanna overstay my time here in his channel, and if he has good video ideas then I will probably reconsider."

“Well, I suppose that’s goodbye for now!” Aidan bid his farewell to his audience followed by Y/R/N waving her two hands at the camera like a child.

I'm obsessing more than I should be over the whole "Kacchan" thing.

Deku's name for Bakugou has always reminded me of how my bff and I had sweet little child-like nicknames for each other in college. We were the Day One, ride or die, overflowing sexual tension that neither of us would ever acknowledge even though everyone else around us had to shoo it away with giant hand fans, type of bffs. We were the only ones who called each other those names. To this day I go jelly in the knees if I hear either of them, even though he and I parted ways a lifetime ago.

Guys. If he had ever introduced himself to someone by that nickname while we were hanging out, let alone someone important, I would have fucking died. Even if he had just referred to himself using that name, instead of it coming from my own mouth. I would have dropped to my knees, or ran and jumped into his arms, or simply erupted into flames ala spontaneous human combustion.

The fact that Katsuki said that... I can't even find the right words. I love all of the bkdk stuff that's come out the last few weeks. So much of it is heavily HEAVILY lined in sexual tension, and is giving bkdk shippers (which I do not consider myself one of... or at least maybe not until like a day ago) a lot to go on. ...But even with all of that development, there was still a voice in the back of my head saying "nah, we're just hoping. This is probably just symbolism and timeline parallels. Showing off deep friendship bullshit. Making the climax more intense and intimate with these personal connections. Blah blah blah" but this one hits differently for me because of how I relate that name to my own personal relationships.

Now it's become... I don't even know. Like, a confirmation not just of their love, but for the unspoken love I once shared with someone as well. Bakugo and Midoriya aren't just a fandom ship for me anymore. Their relationship is *so different* from my own friendship that I described above, but the fact that I still see myself and that personal bond reflected in Bakugo's "Kacchan" declaration... Someone needs to help me put this feeling into words, because I'm at a loss.

It hurts. It aches and throbs and feels like someone stuck a knife in my chest, reminding me of what I lost so long ago.

And it's beautiful, glowing radiant, and feels amazing, like someone has lifted my heart into the sky with cheers and fireworks and *overwhelming* love, from what could be!

And it feels fresh, brand new, yet tragically old and worn. It's warm and comforting, but cold and devastating at the same time.

Why? Why is this? What is it doing to me?? It's filling my mind with fear that this fictional relationship may also never reach its way to the summit of its potential. That I'll lose it, however fictional it may be, just like we've all lost someone before. A few days ago, I would have been bummed but not surprised if the series used all these moments to reflect on, and showcase, strong lifelong friendships built on growth and tragedy... But now it feels different. Like my own heart break (knowing that there is absolutely no way a very popular and mainstream Japanese manga will actually showcase and confirm a homosexual main character couple) is impending.

I don't know how to end this post, because I honestly don't know what I'm trying to say with it in the first place. I guess just that I'm confused. I'm happy, and I'm hurting, and I love this moment so much. It means everything to me, and will no doubt destroy what little grasp I still have on my sanity.

[soweirdondisney]

First, I want to say thank you for all you do to keep the So Weird fandom alive. I know many of us are silent fans because, though we love the show, it's difficult to find much new to say at this point. Second, I know that a So Weird revival is unlikely (which is a shame, because I genuinely think it could be really good, unlike so many of the revivals that have already been done), but I was wondering if you had any plot ideas of your own for a potential revival. Just for fun of course.

Maybe you had no idea when you wrote this, but you sent this at the perfect time. I was dealing with some drama behind the scenes (nothing serious and it's over now) that made me wonder if I take So Weird too seriously and should ease up on the effort to keep up with it all. Then I logged in to find your message and it was validating - a reassurance, if you will. So thank you, too.

As far as my own plot ideas… I'm not sure if you meant for one-off episodes or one that's part of the bigger plot, so I'll answer both.

(Putting it beneath the cut because this is going to be long.)

I once read about ghosts in the aftermath of natural disasters (think the New Orleans hurricane and Japanese tsunami). The ghosts (previously living people) don't know they're dead but are able to flag down taxis. Drivers would accept them but once at the destination no one was in the car anymore to pay the tab. Other instances include riders saying street names and towns that no longer existed or had been abandoned after evacuation. Cab companies reportedly stay out of certain areas because of this, and it would make a great So Weird episode.

I would love for Fi to meet a group of witches around her age who practice witchcraft. Fi spends so much time with her brother and "shared" friends and the one time we saw Candy it was mostly about Rick. I want Fi to experience some sisterhood bonding with people who get her. But if Disney wanted to do a Hocus Pocus crossover that could work too.

Other episode ideas - the boys go to a haunted house that is actually haunted, a retelling of The Monkey's Paw, spotting the loch ness monster, a Disney-friendly version of saying "Candyman" or "Bloody Mary", Molly is a guest performer on a historical ship as paranormal happenings ensue.

In terms of the bigger plot, I'd love a two-part episode where Molly and the gang go to Europe. It would be a special event like a lifetime achievement award for Papa Bear or a PKB Hall of Fame induction.

While exploring the area Fi discovers fairies who "know" she's met a will o' the wisp. (Not sure how this would be, maybe how the banshee acted toward her?) It's a parallel to Jack following Bricriu, but this time she's lead to a leprechaun.

Her ring keeps him at a distance, almost as a protection barrier, and he wants nothing to do with Fi until she makes a comment about a gold award her family/family friend is getting. He's intrigued, and after looking at her closer, mistakes her for another Fiona, even remarks they haven't seen each other in ages.

Fi says something like, "Fiona's my great-grandmother" (yes, another parallel) and the fella runs off, reappears, and runs off again as she tries to question it. Exasperated, Fi says something to the extent of, "You remind me of someone too." And his response is a serious, "Yes, but you knew that didn't you?"

And this baffles Fi to no end - the realization that her great-grandma knew what was going to happen? Was the other Fiona destined to save the world, too? Did she fail and that's why it's on Fi now? And if she doesn't complete it then future generations in her bloodline will have to try? Who knows!

All through this Jack can't enjoy the trip. Poor guy's having massive headaches (like the people in Memory because this special is full of callbacks) cause he's living his current life in the location that overlaps with his past life as a knight. Dude keeps dreaming of the Strangeling events he experienced with Fi and also of an older lady named Fiona who he would recognize if he wasn't in so much pain.

None of this has been researched so the mythology might be off, but that's what I came up with to your question and hopefully it was fun to read. Thank you for writing!

[ichinoue]

"Well guys, it's 2023 and here's another dolt ranting about pronouns in the lust arc, just like the IH Fail essay that ended up being a fail in and of itself."

No its 2023 and people are deciding to keep ot real with you instead of deluding themselves and changing fhe narrtive to cater to a ship.

Respectfully, lets not speak on a language we dont know shit about, lmao.

Ichigo omits the pronoun when he tells rukia 'i've come to save you' in soul society that's because he was literally speaking to her, had been bickering with her from the previous page and had already told her he was there to rescue her back on the bridge - so he didn't need to specify to her 'who' he'd come to save: this is a typical example of "japanese omitting pronouns because they're obvious"

in the lust arc, ichigo is quite literally unconscious and unaware of his surroundings: in order to make it clear to the readers that ichigo recognized orihime, a pronoun (actually not even, he should have used her damn name like ichigo always did when he thought about rukia in ss) **needed** to be there without it, especially coupled with the fact that he speaks in broken japanese from that moment to the end of his transformation (i.e. he uses a mix of kanji and katakana, the latter of which is only used for foreign words, robots or - in bleach's case - hollows, and usually to signify that the speaker is just muttering sounds and doesn't understand the actual meaning of what they're saying), and the fact that he literally quite literally proceeds to throw orihime off the dome with absolutely no care for her well being, it's damn obvious that he had no idea who was yelling at him, he was only aware of the fact that someone was asking for help and got triggered by the word 'save'

"I mean this is just hilarious to me. Here's Orihime and Ichigo, literally placed together in side by side panels as Ichigo continues to chant about protecting...And ichiruki shippers are like, "hmmm well, it's not super clear who he's talking about because there's no pronoun so...I guess we'll never know 🤷‍♀️."

So being places together in panels side by side means he's referring to her? May I remind u he's just raised from the dead, and orihime is shocked as she processes what's happening. Those panels were to emphasise that. Not only have u attempted to educate me on the Japanese language and failed, you've now tried to say side by side panels somehow equates to the fact that he's referring to her? 💀.

"You think Kubo drew this^ entire page, at such a pivotal moment, to show that Orihime's...wrong? Like some sort of gag? She's just *imagining* that Ichigo rose up for her, but it's not actually true? That's...certainly an interesting way to interpret things lmao."

This was orihimes own perception of the situation. Orihime isn't a fact page, she's her own charecter with her own dialogue and thought. The fact she perceived it that way doenst mean its the case. She didn't imagine anything, it jsut looked that way too her, may I remind you she was the one screaming. She knows she's the person the screams belong too, ichigo doesn't. So of course she's gonna think it's here fault, common sense people.

You also proceeded to bring more asspulls and try and say how the databook confirms its about orihime when it was in third person.

"The readers aren't the ones who bound Ichigo to Orihime's screams (especially not you, anon, since you keep insisting it had nothing to do with her lmao). Kubo did that. That's how he meant for this scene to be interpreted: that Ichigo was bound to Orihime's screams. But you're still here fighting against it for some reason lol."

Did kubo tell u that he meant for the scene to be interpretated this way? Or did some angel come to you in ur dream and tell u that? If thats true, kubo wouldve simply added confirmation that hes talking about orihime by adding pronouns or her name. Instead he doesnt do that and has ichigo propell her away

He was bound to her screams, it's just that he didn't know the screams belonged to her, as long as those screams belonged to someone, he's gonna get up... that's who he is. It could've been anyone else screaming there and he would've stood his ass the fuck up, that's his charecter and what he does. Lmao you think this would go without saying, but the lengths ppl go for shipping is hilarious.

"Ichigo did know she was calling out to him. It was part of his internal monologue, as she's screaming, before he hollowfied. Whether the pronoun is there or not (because again, the pronoun for her doesn't *need* to be there to make it clear who he's talking about when she's clearly the only person screaming, placed directly next to a panel of him rising him up...) he could hear her voice. He could hear her calling him. He ruminated over ORIHIME'S screams and was bound to ONLY that purpose. Only her. "

He could hear her voice, he just didn't know it was her. Just that it was somebody, it's not that hard to grasp. There's nothing wrong with ichigo not knowing it's orihime but since shipping has rotten yalls brains, it has to be about the Princess hime, and not about ichigos own charecter, because everything has to be about orihime, right? (💀).

Your opinion on this probably won't change, that's granted as a deluded shipper. What also won't change, is the fact that this isn't an ichihime moment. U attempted to educate me on the japanese language and failed, I recommend doing more research time. I also reccomend not bothering to reply to things like these if ur arguement is just gonna end with "well ichihime is canon, deal with it" because it makes u look silly to say the least, and has nothing to do with the convo.

how i sleep knowing ichigo literally rose up from the dead for his future wife 🥰

Locked and Coded

Galaxy brain hyper overthink, kind of wildly off base SaNami-tinted (re)interpretation of the Sunny's fridge password.

Now in AO3!! [link]

🍊๑♡๑🍊

When Sanji told Nami the fridge's password, hearts in his eyes and a goofy grin on his face, he told her it was their secret.

She humoured his comments, inwardly thinking she would've figured it out herself eventually, even if he hadn't. She may not use her cat burglar skills quite as often, but they were still top notch. Besides, that password is very typical Sanji, anyone who knew him well enough should be able to figure it out.

7326. Nami - Sanji- Nico Robin.

Naturally, she wasn't surprised that Robin also knew the password.

It's a good thing that the only person who was in any way invested in trying to sneak past that lock, namely their ever-hungry captain, could never piece that together.

One day, Nami was working on her charts in the dining table, and right on cue Sanji swayed by to bring her refreshments. It didn't escape her that the drink and snacks were carefully selected and placed to minimise risk of drops, crumbs, and spills. So thoughtful as always, and it made her smile.

A curious thought floated in her mind as he was twirling away.

"Sanji-kun, if Vivi joined our crew instead of Robin, what would the fridge password be?" she asked, "Or if another woman joined us?"

He stopped, then he looked to her with a perplexed expression and asked back, "Why would it be any different?"

There was an oddly poignant pause that prickled at Nami, but then Sanji had already turned back to the kitchen, and the moment passed.

That was kind of a weird answer, she thought idly, and he didn't even ask her if she was jealous. She shrugged it off, though, and went back to her charts. Their crew was perfect as it were, and he probably meant he never considered anything different.

Except that for days upon days, the subject kept popping back in her mind and wouldn't let her go. It's ridiculous how simple numbers could bother her thoughts so much, and yet there she was, wondering what's so special about the password time and time again.

Determined to get her peace, Nami marched to the kitchen to ask. She'd braced herself for any awkwardness (or even gushing from his part), knowing that there were all sorts of implications coming with her having dwelt on the issue for so long.

Surprisingly, for all his usual stream of sweet words, he was actually quite evasive about this one. It took a lot of wheedling before she managed to get him to giver her answers.

7326. "Nami and Sanji's lock".

Nothing in all the four Blues could have prepared her for that, nor how intensely her feelings reacted to it. She could feel her cheeks burning, and was certain her face had taken the hue of boiled lobster. Every second of silence was punctuated by her heart thudding so hard in her chest, she thought she could feel the reverberation in her fingertips. Her mind raced for something to say, but what does one say in response in this situation?

Something suddenly exploded outside, followed by a lot of yelling. Glad for the interruption, they both rushed to check on whatever havoc had been wreaked on the deck.

Then, even later, she found that Robin was never told the password. Robin had puzzled it out herself. Sanji really had meant it when he said it was their secret.

For weeks after that discovery, Nami couldn't look at that darned lock and the ship's resident cook without blushing (and thankfully, nobody seemed to notice).

🍊๑♡๑🍊

The standard reading for the 7326 password is 73 for Nami, 32 for Sanji, and 26 for Nico Robin (2 is ni, 6 is roku but represents just the "ro" sound here). I reinterpreted the roku as "lock" (rokku) for this story based on this one time I saw this funky splash ad for a Japanese book or event where "goku" was romanised as "gock" in alphabet.

[hayaku14]

hello why is kaishin more popular than shinkai or what i mean is why bottom shinichi is like the most widely believed one? lol not really in the fandom just vaguely familiar with the anime from childhood it's just my mutuals likes this ship. i'd thought shinichi being the top would be more popular given his personality.

anon sorry for the late answer!!

imma be real honest with you, anon, i've loved the kidco dynamic since i was conan-sized but i only realized kaishin should be making out around 2021 so i don't know if i'm the best person to answer this question LOL BUT, i'll give you an answer!

tbh, i think for fandom shipping in general, the main character more often than not is the chosen bottom and whoever else is the other party is topping them. in japanese media especially, the ship names are mostly born from putting the kanji of their names together wherein the order of which indicates the seme and uke. since this happens early on, we kinda get stuck with that as the popular ship name whether you prefer the other way later on.

perhaps kaishin is more popular but not entirely by a lot compared to other ships where it's completely skewed to one side. i see a lot of shinkai too. ofc there are people who prefer one way over the other exclusively and that's completely fine!

personally, i think confining them into seme and uke or top and bottom does a great disservice to the kaishin dynamic because to me we should be looking at their sub-dom dynamic more and why they're actually peak switch sub and dom!!!!

that's fucking right kaishin is actually peak switch and i will die on this fucking hill!!!!!!!!!!

when you say shinichi would be the "obvious top," i'd like to assume in your heart you actually meant "the obvious dom" (LOL) but i think that could also apply to kaito.

i think the appeal of kaishin is the push and pull between them. the give and take. they're always trying to one-up each other. sometimes one pushes and the other gives way, sometimes it's the other way around.

i will be honest, perhaps switch pairings might just be my preference but I have never encountered a pairing that felt this completely equal in the switch department more than kaishin. like for other ships i'd sometimes be like, "yeah they switch but A is 70% more dom than B." But for kaishin I'm like, "oKAY THEY'RE 50/50 THEY'RE EQUALS THEY'RE PERFECT HALVES RAAAAAHHHH"

now how does this answer your question? well, i have no proof and im going off of vibes and like i said im no veteran in this ship fandom but, i think a lot of people do enjoy the other way around as you think it would've been. it's just that...it's something that can just be filed under the kaishin tag too. because it's basically the same sometimes. the only different thing is who's topping and bottoming. like sometimes i'm scrolling through twitter and i'd see art that's giving shinkai but it's tagged as kaishin and vice versa lol.

also personally i prefer calling them kaishin because i love the letter k and i associate the name shinkai more with makoto shinkai so every time i see people refer to kaishin as shinkai, my mind just conjures up an image of kaito, shinichi, and makoto shinkai together and i know that's fucking hilariously weird but it sometimes happens!!!! LMAO so even if i'm thinking about shinkai stuff, i still prefer using the name kaishin lol.

(but having the kaishin/shinkai distinction is definitely still useful especially for people who want to filter through one way or the other so fuck yeah to the ship name shinkai you're here to stay!!!)

anyway in conclusion, top shinichi is popular too dw lol, or maybe i should say bottom kaito is popular too lol i see yalls

also sorry that this answer is not only late but also a whole essay that doesn't even straightforwardly answer your question lol my bad anon

[silverolivia-upsidedown]

Hello! Just me back and being a huge nerd about the Eliksni So, while we don't have an actual official conlang for them we do have a VIBE for how their language might be written out by the design team. And it's been under my nose this whole time!!! Join me for this journey and exploration <3

First off let's take a look at what I've been seeing most places.. like, 99% of all the language we see is basically given to us like this...

(Yes, I might have obsessively taken a screenshot every time I see the in-game language DONTJUDGEMEOKAYTHISISASAFEPLACEFORSPECIALINTERESTS >.< But what we see here are probably something like a single word, or a word/symbol that has a meaning like the way that the Chinese alphabet has meanings for each letter. It could also be a tagger's name, but then that brings up all sorts of wonderful questions like WHO IS TAGGING THIS SHIT xD which is really just a nothing burger as much as it's a wonderful idea. It could also very much be a sort of... Like... you know how when you get a rubbermaid bin and you write like... "Christmas ornaments" on it, but then end up get rid of what's in it and just write the new contents next to the old contents? I feel like that might be what a lot of these are. Like the OFFICIAL, clean looking one says like, "Ether Tanks: Medium". And then the new spray paint next to it says something like, "Short Term Produce" or whatever. Or maybe it's like, the shortform name of the crew that this belongs too for shipping and redistribution, ala a quarter master trying to keep track of everything. 🤷

But I'm digressing. Here are those formal script and then the messy next to it.

Anyway. So the other way we see the language in very small snippets is like below, where we see there is a strong (but with notable variance) inclination towards a horizontal writing style instead of vertical. We can also see the general vibe or, um.... flow of the text and individual letters and how they deferrer when they are basically typed out and printed nicely instead of freehanded on the side of a wall.

Okay.

We have our baseline. Let's get into the weeds.

First of all we should not take into consideration a few of these for the rule of vertical vs horizontal because many of these are actually just turned on their side. And in general (and really what this whole post is about) right now I am focusing on the way the design team has decided the language should feel when it's written out. So very briefly, I am going to go over some not in-game official bungie material with Eliksni script on it, since I feel like this I have too, even though I kinda feel like, unless they specifically say "this is how it looks", the in-game art design is always going to be more... official? I don't know. We press forward!

There's more, but I think you get the idea. And yes, I included the Cayde comic because I feel like there's some interesting things in there.

Anyway, moving right along. I want to bring attention to two thing in particular. The first is that I don't think we should dismiss certain small lines in the spray paint versions as drips. I think they are part of the form.

I think they have meaning like in Japanese or other languages where each character has a story or a meaning and changes the way a word is said and also how that word might be used or changed when interacting with other letters/symbols.

The second thing is that there is a lot of repeating/flipping of the decals and in-game assets. But even with that, that I think there is a definite flow with the way the letters are allowed to smoosh into one another, but on a design level, while I think there are some basic rules, I feel very strongly those rules went into making the original script/decals/assets that the devs now use, and that when they go to write something like this...

they are literally just copy/pasting or going "qwertyuiop[]\';lkjhgfdsa" on the keyboard. Now, on to the exceptions of which there are three (as far as I've seen). For this next part I humbly request that you forgive my waxing poetically and also indulge my theories, I promise they are actually based in reality xD The first, and most exciting, and the reason I even posted this, is that I finally noticed the flags on the skiffs! And they.... have a FONT... And actual in-game font... and I think it was a happy accident the devs rolled into some fun lore.

This...

is house of dusk... but the FONT that whateverthissays is in is ABOSLUTELY in the style of House of Winter.

Now, I have two thoughts about this. The first is the happy accident I was talking about before which is that the original skiffs were all done in the design for House of Devils... and House of Winter in D1. But then they needed House of Dusk, who are mostly all the house of winter peeps who scattered after The Final Attempt (battle of six fronts). So they just recolored the House of Winter stuff and BOOM, they can keep the old assets and just recolor them.

The second idea, and one that is a DEEP LORE thought, that I don't think bungie actually cares enough about their lore to connect the dots for: is that as mentioned in a lore tab where Variks and I believe Fikrul are talking, there is a mention of a second "High Speech". And to me, it would make a LOT of sense for there to be a written version of that High Speech that would be a bit more flowery and have different characters. I think it would also make a lot of sense for that more special text be what things like House symbols are made out of, and also what one might put on their flags... like on that skiff.

The second is this little guy... he's very new and I only saw it recently, and I'm nearly 99.99% sure it's eliksni, only because there is a break in the "C" in the center and that's VERY eliksni.

That and it's on a crashed ketch that was in a mission we played within the last year lol

But this is.... totally different from everything else we've seen, and I honestly am totally stumped. It might actually be a representation of the influence that humanity has on the Eliksni. And that many eliksni (especially those in house of dusk) feel disconnected from their heritage, and more connected to the ruminants of humanity's golden age, and earth in general.

The other interesting little thing is something I found on a ketch that I managed to get on top of before it despawned. (at least that's what the file name makes me think I was trying to convey >.< past me is a dumbass and says "Oh, I'll know what this means later" spoilers, I never ever know lol)

Again, this is... just completely different from what we've seen before. Even the letters are different. The way they are grouped is new. I just wish I had more of stuff like this.

But theory crafting aside, we can really get an impression for how one could replicate or imitate the flow of the language. That's it! Thank you for coming on this little meandering exploration of the in-game text ^^..^^

rant

Over this past month I had an unpleasant experience with a seller on Mercari. It's the first time something like this has happened. Basically, they mailed my purchase, and a notice of absence was left as usual. But it never got to me.

Of course it's possible I threw out the slip without noticing. However, in the same time frame I received notices for two other purchases, and received both that package and another from a different Mercari seller. I don't believe I missed the notice because since I had three packages on he way, I was checking every day. It has happened in the past that I got mail meant for someone else in my apartment building. Idk. There's no way to prove one way or another what happened, but the seller was irate, even though the package was returned to them and I offered to pay the cost of shipping. They claim they reported me to Mercari three times yeesh. (They never would have survived on ebay in the 2000s lol)

It was all very unpleasant. They made no effort at all to see things from my side. I apologized nonstop, firstly for being a foreigner (he understood all of my Japanese! It might not be perfect but he never once had to ask me for a clarification, yet he was quick to cry "GAIJIN!" and also he kept asking to talk to my husband lol. And then he said he didn't know I was a foreigner??? Even though my name is obviously a foreigner's name...)

Secondly, for having a totally different set of expectations - I have never had a lasting conversation with a seller before, but this seller expected me to talk to him every day, multiple times. I kept wanting to just cancel the order and lose the money because he was so insistent on talking, even though there was nothing that could be done? And I wish I had just done it. I was like oh, that's not fair, this guy might lose out too and I might hurt my rep on the site, let's wait just a little longer... But I should have trusted my gut. This "conversation" went on for THREE WEEKS with no results.

At last, we were waiting for the results of the post office investigation, which would take two weeks, and I was busy at work, so for a few days I didn't look at Mercari. Nothing had happened for three weeks!! We have a bunch of events going on and are understaffed and I have been just working and sleeping. So I looked at Mercari on Tuesday, said "Okay, I will wait two weeks," (again, after three weeks of nothing!) and then not again until Sunday. Well, the investigation did not take two weeks. It somehow took only a few days. So between Tuesday night and Sunday, the seller found the package, and told me to reply to him about whether I wanted to pay for him to ship it again or not by the next day, or he would report me. The next day he reported me. The next day I looked at my messages and was floored. Yeesh. Where did this desperation come from all of a sudden. While I was wondering where my money had disappeared to, with no proof that anything had ever been shipped for real, all he had to say was "It might take longer because it's coming from [prefecture not near me]." He blamed the post office for losing things and even blamed my (nonexistent!!!) husband for stealing my packages!

Anyway, the fact is he did sent the package, but I did not get the notice about it. Whether that was due to me overlooking it or it got put in the wrong mailbox or was dropped or who knows why, we will never know. I didn't do it on purpose. And even though I understand not getting a quick reply when you want it is frustrating, he got consistent replies from me every single day until *he* told me to wait two weeks. I even thought that by not looking at mercari every day, I would be taking pressure off of him! Nope. He wanted me glued to that screen. He wasn't going to lose any money or goods by my lack of promptness to the message I thought wouldn't come for at least another week. But he took it upon himself to give me a deadline, of the next day, with no warning that he even intended to do something like that.

Finally I told him I was canceling the order. Guess what this guy did? First he told me he agreed we should cancel it as well. Then, since he apparently lives on Mercari, he canceled it himself! I literally started applying to cancel the moment he agreed, but he is just that fast and even though I told him I would do it, he wasted my time and did it himself. I should have rejected the cancellation because I did not agree with how he explained the reason for it (blamed me) but I was worried, since he claims he reported me three times, that rejecting the cancellation and then cancelling myself would look bad. Now I wish I had done it though. Anyway, I've blocked that guy, he can go fuck himself with his mountain of McDonald's Lupin III toys lol.

Of course the money came back to me buuut as Mercari points... So I have to console myself by buying something else on Mercari. Fingers crossed. If the same thing happens I swear I will cry. But not only have I used Mercari many times before without an issue, I've also received mail and packages in Japan for ten years without a single issue. This is an outlier so I'm gonna go forward like it never happened. Also I learned a few things I didn't know about Mercari, like that sellers can upload pictures to their listings of things they are not actually selling, so in the future I'll be a little less confused if this sort of thing happens again. (The seller told me he would put up a picture of the package receipt for me, but never told me he did it. When I asked why he hadn't posted it, he got upset with me because he had posted it... to his listings. I didn't imagine something with personal information on it would be in his listings! He had posted it with the personal info blacked out, which makes sense but also made the receipt useless to me since the point was so I could open an investigation from my end too. *eye roll* But you know what, I would have found it if he'd said specifically it was there. I'm not even 100% convinced it was actually there, because I did in fact look only because I couldn't figure out where else it could possibly be, but I didn't see anything that looked like a receipt. Then, after I complained, suddenly it was right there in the top row. *shrug* He may have uploaded it just like he said, but he didn't tell me when he did so I had no way of knowing.)

It is an insignificant moment of my life but I feel better getting it off my chest lol. And I definitely will just cancel and block people in the future if this sort of thing happens. I was so worried about hurting someone else's ratings unfairly or my own that I wanted to stick it out as long as possible, but clearly that put me at the seller's mercy. Next time I'll do what I want and if it gets me suspended then Idk. We'll cross that bridge if we ever come to it.

[slugtranslation-hypmic]

Hey Slug! I hope this won't sound rude, but would you maybe be willing to take a look at Shinogi from MTC? As far as I've been able to find there's only one translation available on the fandom site, and I obviously don't speak Japanese, but the translation just kinda seems... wonky? Especially Samatoki's part. So what I'm actually asking is, could you maybe translate Samatoki's part, if the whole song would be too much trouble? Tysm for ur work!!

Sure, no worries. This is a song heavy on imagery and niche vocabulary, so it isn't surprising that translators may struggle with it. Kudos to the original translator for giving it their best shot!

Below the cut are two versions. The first is if I was going to be doing this for a job, so it's more adaptation-based and should give a better sense of the song's overall tone and lyricism. It doesn't rhyme or have rhythm because I'm not actually being paid and I'm not arsed to put in that much effort haha. The second is a line-by-line breakdown of where this imagery is coming from, because I imagine this'll be more interesting to fans.

Also including that caveat that my knowledge of yakuza is based on fiction, and I haven't the slightest clue how applicable this is to real-life yakuza. Fortunately, Samatoki is extremely fictional, so it doesn't especially matter.

Yo, you haven't seen nothing yet. My fellow chicks and dicks from Yokohama, you'd better stop paying attention to all the other divisions and turn it to us: we, the great figures of Samatoki, Juuto, and Riou. Got it? That's the respect you should be showing us, MTC. I'm a god-damn y****a--my name alone can launch a thousand ships. You wanna care about me? Nah, fuck that. Don't cry for me. I'm a big fish in the small pond of Yokohama; yeah, I'm a big fish at large in Yokohama. Yokohama's my watering hole, filling my wallet with clams. If you can't put your life on the line for the gang, then get lost. What, you getting cold feet? Turn tail and run home to mama. 'Round here, looking weak gets you jumped. 'Round here, I'm living large off all the haul I'm reeling in. My creed? Defend my honor and my gang. That's "Mr." Samatoki to you, and don't you forget it. Surviving the streets of Yokohama, Making fat stacks every day. Cash rules, and I'm making the big bucks in my hood. Once you go Yokohama, there's no going back. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. A brimming pool of greed that Mad Trigger Crew sucks up every drop of. Surviving in Yokohama-- Yeah, you know who calls the shots here. Surviving in Yokohama-- Yeah, once you get hooked, there's no going back. It'll dog your footsteps. Let's set off for another day taming the wild streets--call that power. Let's get hooked on money and violence; let's drown in it--call that power. Why not indulge our every greedy desire? Why not let it corrupt us? Call that power. With you as my partners in crime, why not burn my boats with reckless abandon? I can't afford to be choosy with my means if it gets me my ends. I'm sorry, did you just say "That's not fair"? Ha! Believe me, if fair made the world go 'round, then we wouldn't have policemen. No, take a good look at this city. It's corrupt to the bone. There's low-level chumps, wannabe thugs, low-life scum. Good, evil-- it's all the same to me. Arrest them all and throw them in the same cell, I say!

Surviving the streets of Yokohama, Making fat stacks every day. Cash rules, and I'm making the big bucks in my hood. Once you go Yokohama, there's no going back. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. Get hooked on Yokohama; oh, don't you get hooked on Yokohama. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama.

Surviving the streets of Yokohama, Making fat stacks every day. Cash rules, and I'm making the big bucks in my hood. Once you go Yokohama, there's no going back. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. A brimming pool of greed that Mad Trigger Crew sucks up every drop of.

Surviving in Yokohama-- Yeah, you know who calls the shots here. Surviving in Yokohama-- Yeah, once you get hooked, there's no going back. It'll dog your footsteps. And onto a much more literal and annotated version!

Yo, you haven't seen nothing yet. My fellow chicks and dicks [1] from Yokohama, you'd better stop paying attention to all the other divisions and turn it to us: we, the great figures of Samatoki, Juuto, and Riou. Got it? That's the respect [2] you should be showing us, MTC. I'm in the y****a, a living where I get by on the merit of my face. [3] Don't you go caring about me. Don't cry for me. I'm living large in Yokohama; the police let me roam free in Yokohama. [4] Yokohama is a pool that grows my income sources. [5] If you can't put your life on the line for the gang [6], then get lost. What, are you getting cold feet? You'd better turn tail and run home to your family. [7] You'll get attacked if you look weak. I'm surviving and living large and have been doing so for a long time now. [8] I always protect my honor and my family. [9] I'm Samatoki-sama, got it? [10] Surviving in this city [11] Making fat stacks every day [12] Cash rules, and I make quick money from everything in my hood. Don't go getting hooked on Yokohama. [13]

Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. Get hooked on Yokohama; get hooked on Yokohama. A brimming pool of greed that Mad Trigger Crew drinks down to the last drop. [14]

Surviving in Yokohama-- [15] It's clear who's the major baddie here. Surviving in Yokohama-- Once you get hooked, there's no way out. It will follow you persistently. [16] Let's go tame the streets. [17] Call that power. Let's get caked in money and violence and get addicted to it. [18] Call that power. Let's get corrupted as we indulge every one of our greedy desires. Call that power. With you two around [19], I can commit worse and worse crimes. [20] I'm not choosy about my means so long as it gets me my ends. That's not fair? Are you a fool? If we could get by with fair, then we wouldn't need the police. [21] Just look at this horribly filthy town. Let's lump all the low-lives, all the good, and all the evil together and arrest them all. [Chorus repeated]

[1] I assume he means 野郎 (dudes) but this is such a funny translation for it... Presumably it was chosen for the rhyme, but I'm dying to know what JPN -> ENG dictionary suggested "dicks" for 野郎

[2] In yakuza terms, jingi is a code of honor and duty that governs interactions with other yakuza and civilians. In this particular instance, Samatoki is demanding the non-yakuza listener become his fan with the notion that this kind of treatment is the mark of respect he "inherently deserves" from all civilians. It's a pretty silly application of the concept, imo. [3] We should understand this to mean that he makes a living based on his reputation and status, but this is a very funny way to phrase it. It sounds like something that would be said about a model ("he uses his face to make a living") so I phrased it as "my name could launch a thousand ships" in the first TL. (Plus, hey, ocean imagery)

[4] Literally "swimming" and "being allowed to swim" for ocean imagery. I used "big fish" images for similar effect. Hold onto the idea of "living large" because it'll come back momentarily.

[5] In yakuza terms, shinogi are the various different methods of making money in less than upstanding ways. This word is going to be used to mean something completely different momentarily, so hold onto this idea.

[6] "for the gang" is my assumption, given the context.

[7] It's interesting that Samatoki mentions "family" here. The yakuza hierarchy is strongly centered around the notion of the gang being a family (hence why it's so significant that Samatoki goes from being the leader of an unaffiliated street gang to a yakuza gangster after the loss of his last surviving family member), but Samatoki's referring to family in the layperson sense here. In the first translation, I explicitly specify whether he means family in a civilian sense or in a yakuza sense. In this second one, I'll just annotate it each time. [8] Here, shinogu (verb form of noun shinogi) is being used to mean overcoming difficulties to excel. This is the same idea from annotation 4 and will continue to be repeated throughout the song. He's claiming to be a survivor of ordeals who's now living his best life in the yakuza. The title of the song as a whole should be understood as a cross of both "We're making our respective livings in unorthodox ways" and "We've survived tribulations and are now thriving." [9] Here, "family" is used in the gang sense. Since it's Samatoki speaking, we should also understand this to have the double meaning of his birth family.

[10] Trying to demand an inappropriate level of respect from the audience. Posturing as per usual [11] Again, surviving in the sense of overcoming a past ordeal and making it through the other side. See annotations 4 and 8. I wrote it as "Surviving the streets of Yokohama" in the first translation because MTC is trying so hard to sound cool. [12] The shinogi in this line is used in the financial sense. [13] The verb used here (hamaru) is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. In addition to sounding like (Yoko)hama, it has a double meaning that is pertinent here. At face value, hamaru means to become a fan of something, which ties back into the English opener--Samatoki telling listeners to become fans of MTC. But it also carries a connotation of addiction (ie, drugs or alcohol) which seems like both a nod to Swimming Pools and to the notion in Juuto's verses that their lifestyles are corrupting or harmful. I wrote this as "hooked" to encapsulate both and also keep up the ocean imagery. [14] Two ocean/water/liquid images in a row

[15] While "survive" is written in English, I assume we should understand it in the context of "I've survived past ordeals and am now doing very well" such as in annotations 4, 8, and 11. [16] Again, evocative of drugs or an alcohol addiction. I think we should also understand this in the sense of "Once you commit a crime, there's no going back" re: Juuto and Samatoki. (Riou doesn't really leave an illegal existence, per se...) [17] Assuming "the streets" from context [18] "Get addicted to" is more literally "almost drown in." Water imagery again [19] Samatoki and Riou [20] Literally, "I can drink everything down to the poison and the plate," a play on the idiom "eat everything down to the poison and the plate." (Once you start committing a crime, you might as well finish it.) The deliberate choice to go for drinking vs eating is evocative of water (hence "burning boats" in the first translation) and, again, drugs. Oral medications or drugs are "drank" in Japanese.

[21] "If...then we wouldn't need the police" is a common thing to say in Japanese. It's not a Juuto-original idea. I think it's most common form is "If apologies are enough, we wouldn't need the police" but I've definitely seen other variants of it out there.

This was a super fun request, so thanks for sending it in!

Concealed Hearts

Chapter 3: Hurricane Agatha - part 1

Summary: Angela goes back to the outerbanks after many years to visit family but this time she actually plans on making her holiday worth it.

“That’s what a three- story fall to the deck? I give you about a one-in-three chance of survival” Pope says to John B as he was balancing on the roof. Today I was hanging out with the Pogues again at some house that was being built on the kook side of the island, Bella was off somewhere with my parents and I was invited to hang out with Kie and the boys, I wouldn’t call myself a member of the group just yet as I want to let them decide if they consider me a pogue but its been two weeks since the bonfire and I have been with them practically everyday, its starting to feel normal. They all make me feel like I’m part of the crew, always checking in on me and taking me out with them even without Kie sometimes because she is busy at the wreck. The boys are trouble though, especially JJ but I can see that he cares for his friends a lot, he would go to many lengths for them like I would for Bella.

“Should I do it?” John b asks Pope “Yeah you should” Pope replies, the sarcasm dripping from his voice. “I’ll shoot you on the way down” Pope adds. “You’ll shoot me?’ John b replies. The two boys still goofing off when Kie comes out saying something about how these people are gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers. “Of course, why wouldn’t they?” JJ replies. “Ah, the life of the rich and fortunate, they can’t bare to have cold towels” I added. “This used to be a turtle habitat but who cares about the turtles, I guess?” Kie said sounding sad and disappointed. I tuned out the rest of the conversation getting lost in thought while gazing over the water.

“Hey, uh, security’s here” I heard Pope say but it went right over my head. All my friends started getting ready to leave so we didn’t get caught but I was still frozen in place, my mind thinking of 1000 things at once. “Yo, Angel?’ JJ called “We need to get moving.” I finally blinked back into place hearing my nickname that I despise (purely because I’m a bit older now and not to mention the fact my ex situation ship used to call me that so I’ve come to resent it.) I looked over to notice all of them moving quickly, I get up to join JJ because I don’t want to get caught, I’ve always followed the rules and have a clean record, I don’t plan on breaking that anytime soon. “Maybank,” I called as I hurriedly caught up with the group “You know not to call me that, can you please just call me Ange?” I asked him for like the hundredth time this week. “Nah, I like Angel better.” JJ replied, giving me a wink. If we weren’t on the run, I swear I would be giving him hell right now, us Italians are not built to keep our mouths shut when we don’t like something. I stuck the rude finger up at him and told him to basically fuck off in Italian “Testa di cazzo”(dickhead) “Oh I love when you talk dirty to me in Italian, Angel.” JJ replied, smirking this time at me, this boy will actually be the death of me, I thought to myself.

Once we passed the flight of stairs, JJ accidentally ran into one of the security guards “Ooh not much of a hugger man.” JJ told him as we were all still running off to find the Twinkie. I jumped the fence barely missing the security guard just after Pope and JJ jumped over. I caught up to the Twinkie just beating JJ and Pope, “Come on guys.” I urged them on as soon as I jumped into the Twinkie, out of breath. I watched as JJ teased the security guard, Gary I think his name was, throwing him can of beer to tease him for trying to chase us, I overheard Kie telling JJ to stop as I focused on calming my heart and catching my breath.

A few days later, I was at home resting when I heard the storm siren starting, “What the fuck is that?” Bella asked “Sounds like a storm siren, I think I heard something about a hurricane heading this way last night. Must be that.” I replied. I texted Kie to double check so my family could be prepared and asked if they needed any help, Kie basically confirmed the hurricane and said to just stay and help the family, she also mentioned the day after the hurricane to just go to chateau in the morning as phones may be out of service for a while.

As soon as the hurricane had officially passed and I was sure my family was okay, Bella and I headed towards John B’s. As we walked up to the chateau, I noticed John B walking out to assess the damage. “That’s no good” I heard John B say as we approached him. “Shit, that looks bad, John B.” I pointed out the obvious as Bella and I approached. “Oh hey girls, yeah that is not good at all” John B replied giving me a small smile while assessing the rest of the damage. “Agatha did some work, huh?” JJ asked no one in particular as he finally walked out of the house wearing just shorts giving me a perfect view of his sculptured chest, with a beer in hand. “Hey Angel” JJ winked at me “hey Bella” JJ said acknowledging my sister. “Hey Maybank” I replied, wanting to say something about the nickname but decided against that for now because I wanna see how this plays out. I only have one month left and I’ve just met the pouges but am starting to struggle to see a life without them and really feel like I’m becoming apart of that group that I don’t know if I even want to go back to Australia but sometimes we don’t have a choice.

“What about DCS? Wasn’t that today?” JJ asks John B. “Nah they’re not getting on a ferry. Come on, think about it. It’s god telling us to fish.” John B replied. “You two coming?” JJ asked me and Bella. I looked at Bella seeing if she wanted to come because I already knew my answer. “Yeah sure, I hate boats though.” Bella replied, “You will be okay.” I assured her. JJ came up to me just before we left still not wearing a top of any sort, I reminded myself to keep my eyes on his stupidly beautiful face knowing that even if I allowed myself to even think there was a possibility of him liking me that it was most likely a joke of some sorts, I’ve come to learn that the hard way. “Angel, you really need to learn that my eyes are up here.” He said, pointing to his face. Shit, he noticed me looking even though it was only for a split second, I blushed blood red and he smirked in response. I’m a really shy person in general unless I really know someone otherwise the actual me would have teased him back in some way so I just let it slide this time.

I decided to ignore him and help Bella get into the boat, John B helped me up and JJ jumped in right after us once he decided to finally put a top on (thank god). We were driving along the marsh, JJ pointing out all the boats to me and Bella and saying to hi to people while John B drove. “She totally looked at me” JJ mentioned to John B, talking about some girl named miss Holly we saw while driving along in the boat “I saw it” John B replied, I decided now is the time for me to get a little payback. “Ah actually Maybank, I think she was looking at John B.” I said testing the waters and wanting to rile him up a bit. JJ stuck the rude finger up at me “Fuck you, Angel” he said laughing, “Fuck you too, Maybank.” I replied sticking my finger back up at him, laughing with everyone else.

We spotted Pope along the marsh, washing off the pier. “We have a safety meeting, attendance mandatory”John B yelled out to Pope. “I can’t. My Pop’s got me on lockdown.” Pope replied. “Come on, man. Your dad’s a pussy. Over.” JJ said pretending to talk into a radio over his shoulder like a security guard would. “Oh, I heard that, you little bastard.” Mr Heyward said, I was laughing so hard, “Hey, Mr Hayward” Me and Bella said in unison. “Hello girls, why are such beautiful ladies like you two hanging with this idiot?” Mr Heyward said. I laughed and responded “I don’t even know myself, Mr Heyward” I replied still laughing. JJ looking at me annoyed for taking Mr Heywards side. John B and JJ were trying to get Pope to get into the boat and ditch his dad, suddenly Pope jumped into the boat and John B started driving off leaving Mr Heyward behind furious with Pope.

“Oh top o’ the morning to ya” JJ said as we approached to pick up Kie. “Good morning boys and girls.” “Morning Kie.” the rest of us replied “Whatcha got?” Pope asked Kie noticing the cooler in her hand. “You got some juice boxes?” “You know, just some yogurts and carrot sticks” Kie replied to Pope’s sarcasm. JJ helped Kie get into the boat as we settled in and took off, opening some drinks and sitting back so we could relax while John B drove.

The group was goofing off, JJ trying to be a little smartass, he asked Pope to go faster to show us a trick on the end of the boat with his beer in hand, I could see this going so wrong. “Ah here we go, I’m moving.” John B said, coming to sit next to me in the back of the boat. “We have tried this like 6,000 times” John B told me. “And that is why I moved back here, it’s my first time seeing this but knowing JJ it won’t end well” I replied to John b. JJ was so confident that his trick was gonna work, when beer started flying ever, everyone was yelling at JJ to stop. “Maybank, you are getting beer in my hair” I warned him while Pope and John B were telling him to stop and that he was done.

All of the sudden JJ flew off the boat, the motor rattled and we all screamed. “Jesus Pope” Bella and Kie said, after I checked on Bella, I was starting to get a bit worried aboutJJ as he hadn’t come up from the water immediately, wait, shit, fuck, this boy is really starting to worm his way into my heart but I can’t show him that as I’m not ready for that kind of heartbreak yet again. “You okay, Maybank?’ I called out as I noticed him come back to the top of the water. “I think my heels touched the back of my head”JJ groaned. John B asked all us girls if we were okay. JJ was asking Pope what just fucking happened which I would like to know as well. “Sandbar. The channel changed.” Pope responded to JJ which also answered all of our questions. JJ swam back to the boat going on about how he saved the beer, I noticed Pope staring at something in the water “Guys.. I think there is a boat down there.” Pope told us. No one believed him. “No, no guys. I’m serious. There’s a boat down there. For real.” We all rushed over to have a look to see he wasn’t lying. “Yeah looks like a boat” I said. “Holy shit, he’s right. Let’s go” Kie ordered. John B took his top off and jumped in, everyone following jumping into the marsh but Bella opted to stay behind on the boat, not wanting to ruin her hair of all things.

“Get you ass in here, Angel.” JJ said when he noticed me not moving, I honestly wasn’t confident enough yet to take my clothes off in front of these boys, especially JJ, I loved swimming, it was one of my favourite things to do but having the boys see my body in a swimsuit this early, yeah no thanks, I don’t trust people very easily. “Nah Maybank, I’ll stay here with Bella and keep a lookout.” JJ looked disappointed “I thought you loved swimming.” JJ pointed out, how the fuck did he know that. I’ve never told him that, must of been Kie or Bella. “I do..” I trailed not having any excuse but I didn’t want to tell him the real reason.

JJ’s POV:

Why didn’t she want to jump in? I know she loves swimming, Kie mentioned that during one of our many conversations about her as I’ve been basically grilling Kie about her and everything she tells me makes me fall for her harder than I already am. I just know a relationship between us would be hard once she goes back, she wouldn’t be a small fling to me and I can tell she is not that kind of girl. I wish I knew her better so I could know what she was thinking, I feel like she hasn’t got long left till she has to go back and I already know I don’t want her to go, I feel like she mentioned a few days ago that she goes back in a month or so. Fuck that’s too close for my liking. I swam back to her, the rest of the pogues heading towards the boat. “Are you sure you don’t want to come, Angel?” I asked her sincerely, making sure she can feel my concern. “Yeah Maybank, I’ll sit this one out, thanks though” she replied. I wasn’t happy about her answer but I didn’t want to push her too far just yet. I squeezed her leg in a comforting way as that’s all I could reach but really I just wanted to pull her in, I decided against that for now, there will be another time for that, then swam back to catch up with the rest of the group.

Ange’s POV:

I watched as JJ swam back to his friends heading towards the boat, why did he feel the need to double check with me, that was unusual and he squeezed my leg and looked like he didn’t want to go without me?! Nah I’m probably just imaging things, I shook my head and went to sit next to Bella as the others swam towards the boat. The crew came back up within a few mins, I could hear them saying something but couldn’t make out exactly what, “A new one of those is like 500 Gs, easy.” JJ exclaimed as he came back to the boat. “What did you all find?” I asked, clearly wanting to know whats got them all excited. “The boat was a Grady white.” Pope clarified to me but I was confused. “And, that means what, Pope?” I urged him on as I had no fucking idea about boats, all I knew was that they can travel on water and they are all different sizes, I read books and go swimming in my spare time not study boats. “It’s basically a super expensive kind of boat, something that a kook would have.” Pope responded, well that makes a little more sense now. “Thanks Pope. Not much of a boat person” I pointed out to him. Pope started laughing “Oh don’t worry, we know you prefer to get lost in books. Glad I could help.” I smiled back at him, Pope was a good friend to everyone and he definitely was the smartest of the group, smarter than me and definitely smarter than the rest of the group.

John B told the group he saw this particular boat while surfing the surge, trying to figure out how the boat ended up at the bottom of the marsh. “You surfed the surge?” Kie asked John B, looking disappointed at him, JJ hyping him up about it some shit about Pogue style or something. John B was pulling something out of a hidden compartment in the boat, it was the anchor. “It looks like it’s really deep down there” I pointed out, JJ agreeing with me. “Only for the weak and feeble, guys” John B replied, well I guess there was no changing his mind about this. “Well, I’m not resuscitating you. I’m just making that clear up front.” JJ told John B. “Diver down fool.” Pope says to John B. “Diver down” John B replied. “Yeah he is” JJ said as he pushed him off the boat. We all waited for John B to come back up anxiously, the team was starting to wonder if we should go down after him once we realised it had been a bit too long. Luckily, John B resurfaced moments later holding a motel key, Kie suggested taking to the key to the coast guard going on about some finders fee thing.

Well let’s just say the coast guard idea didn’t work, they were swamped. I was standing with the pogues waiting to hear what the plan was now. “I know how we’re gonna find the guy that owns that boat.” John B suggested. “I’m in” JJ chimed in. Kie agreed to be the lookout while Pope tried talking them out of it, see I knew that guy was smart, then they all turned to me silently asking Bella and I to join “Well are we going or not?” Bella asked confirming we were in fact coming although my gut was telling me something different. We got back to the boat and headed towards the motel. As we approached I got chills, “This place is a shitshow.” John B pointed out. “Motel or meth lab?” Kie asked. “I would say both” I said. “You be the judge” Pope replied. As we neared the motel JJ jumped out of the boat tying her up. “Angel, you coming with us or staying?” JJ asked me, okay that nickname was really getting on my nerves at this point, I’ve told him so many times to not call me that but he seems to not care. I looked at Bella silently asking if she will be okay, once she nodded her head I replied to JJ “Yeah blondie, I’ll come, can’t let you guys do anything too stupid.” “Blondie? Really, Angel?” JJ sounded a bit annoyed. “Yep” I said climbing out of the boat “why, you don’t like it?” I teased him. JJ didn’t respond, instead he came up to me and whispered in my ear “Two can play this game, love, and I will win.” I shivered as his voice went straight down to my core but was still smart enough to respond “Bring it on, Maybank.” I challenged him, walking off towards the motel. He won’t win, I don’t lose easily when a challenge arises.

JJ grabbed John B teasing about how Kie was worried about him. “Just be so careful, John.” JJ teased him, playfully caressing John B. “God, you’re so weird.” John B pointed out. I was walking behind the boys while JJ was busy asking John B about why Kie was asking him to be careful, I think JJ likes Kie more than he is willing to admit. Of course he would like her, why wouldn’t he, she was so beautiful and then there is me who is just different. I honestly am getting some really mixed signals from this guy today but by observing the group and him with Kie lately I think that he wants Kie and that’s fine by me, better I figure it out now so my heart doesn’t get shattered to pieces later on.

“Oh, just give me that John D already. When are you gonna swoop on that, man? JJ asked John B. “Bro you know the rule. No pogue on pogue macking. Besides, you’re the one who is always hitting on her.” John B pointed out to JJ. JJ went quiet for a moment deciding to respond instead of staying silent “Of course I’m hitting on her, she is a super hot, rich, hippie chick slumming with us.” And boom he just admitted what I was thinking 30 seconds ago, oh well, no point in caring. JJ and Kie have known each other for the longest time and I’m just a touron who he sees as a friend and nothing more. “ I know that door’s locked because I’ve tried it. Have you?” JJ tells John B as we approach the door that matches the number on the key. Of course he has tried with Kie. “This is it” John B told us. JJ knocks on the door “Housekeeping” he says with a high pitch voice, I try to hold in my laughter not wanting to alert anyone of our presence. The boys checked the windows after knocking again just to make sure no one was home, JJ used the key to let us in, opening the door for me and John B.

A/N: I’m back!!! Sorry for the long wait a lot happened over the last few weeks, this chapter is really long so I’ve had to split in half anyway hope you all enjoy.

student 21's villain academia, pt 1

so. not twst bully!au part 4. it's not canceled don't worry; i'm just having a couple health issues at the moment and this one was closer to being done. i've literally been working on it for 5 days, so... it was time.

this one is a bit slow to get started, as in it still hasn't kicked into action yet, but by part 3 or so you'll see my vision. this is an x gn!reader, so anyone can read it, and no, aizawa is NOT one of the love interests. i'd rather die than ship him with a student. i have no idea if this au has been done before; you don't have all the information yet so don't jump to conclusions about me copying so-and-so. this idea has been rattling around in my brain for like a year so i'm super excited to finally get it out! genre: gn!reader, fluff, found family, romance coming eventually, canon-typical angst trigger warnings: reader has a panic attack word count: 2004

You didn’t really consider yourself one of those ‘crazy anime fans.’ No, you were more subdued in your interests. You didn’t own hundreds of dollars’ worth of merchandise, nor did you insist on watching the latest episodes right when they aired. And above all, you would never try to force your passion onto others.

Lately you’d been really into a rather popular action anime by the name of Boku no Hero Academia, or My Hero Academia in English. It wasn’t perfect, but something about the characters just sucked you in. They were just kids, only fifteen years old, and suddenly they were faced with enemies backed by a villain even the strongest hero struggled against. Thus, you couldn’t help but feel little ashamed of yourself as you fell asleep to the ending song of the latest episode.

When you woke up, it was very abrupt. You were certain you’d been asleep on your couch, but suddenly you were standing in the middle of a busy street. Not wanting to be stuck there when the light turned green, you hurried to the other side. Was this a lucid dream? You’d never had one of those before, but there wasn’t another plausible explanation.

Taking in your surroundings, all the signs definitely weren’t in English, but somehow you could understand them. Was that Japanese? Huh, all that anime must be rubbing off on your subconscious. You caught sight of a TV inside an electronics store displaying the news. You didn’t know where you were supposed to be, so maybe that could give you a clue.

“Hinata here, reporting in from Musutafu News,” a young woman announced, “just this morning, up and coming villain Bakugou Katsuki wreaked havoc on a suburban neighborhood, completely destroying 8 homes. Can you believe he’s only 15?! Goodness, what has society come to? Fortunately, there were no casualties, but our experts believe it’s only a matter of time. And now, for the weather forecast…”

You tuned out the rest, in a complete state of shock. Bakugou is a villain? What sort of dream is this? Sure, he’s loud and violent and tells people to die on the regular, but he’s not a criminal! Is this some sort of joke? Is your subconscious playing some kind of trick on you? There’s some sort of nagging feeling in the back of your mind, like you should know something about this situation, but you just can’t recall.

You decide to keep walking, instead of staring blankly at the television like an idiot. Maybe you’ll find someone or something that can explain what’s going on. With luck, it’ll be one of the main characters. If you’re really unfortunate, you’ll find someone from the League. But who knows, maybe they’re the good guys here.

After about 10 minutes, it hits you. This is one of those alternate universe thingies! Your cousin, who’s far more invested in the fandom than you are, was trying to explain them to you at a family gathering, but you were only half listening. Now that was a mistake. Even worse, she seemed convinced that some people actually got transported into the worlds of anime! No wonder you weren’t paying attention. Clearly she had a screw or two loose. Yeah, there was simply no way something like that had happened to you. This was a dream, plain and simple.

But then the building right next to you caught fire. You were sure there was nothing before, but there was a fire and it was very, very big and very, very hot. Suddenly this all felt too terribly real. Was it a villain attack? Oh no, you were doomed. You were going to die- you’d only just gotten here and you were already going to die-

“It’s going to be okay,” you heard a gruff voice say.  It was probably Japanese, but you could understand it all the same. “Take deep breaths, one at a time. The heroes are already here, they’re apprehending the villain right now,” you heard him say softly. You did your best to follow his advice. In, pause, out, pause. In, pause, out, pause. After a while, it wasn’t so hot, and you could turn to look at the person who had calmed you down. You weren’t one to judge, but he looked like he needed some help- holy cow that’s Aizawa!!

Okay, you were not expecting that. Sure, you were hoping you’d run into a friendly canon character, but you didn’t think it’d happen that easily! You knew you needed to say something though, or this would be painfully awkward. “I, um,” you spluttered, “I’m a huge fan, Eraserhead. Can I get an autograph?”

“A fan, really? I don’t have too many of those.” He looked pleased, but also a bit confused. That was to be expected, considering he’s an underground hero. “Sure, do you have any paper on you?”

Ah. That was a bit of a problem. You searched your pockets, turning up absolutely nothing, not even your phone. “Nope. Nothing. Guess I won’t be getting that autograph, huh?” You were disappointed, of course, but it wasn’t the end of the world. As messed up as this world seemed to be, you were probably better off not meeting any more canon characters unless they were saving your life. This was just a lucky chance.

“Ah, well, that’s too bad. Hey, kid, you don’t seem like you’re from around here. Are you lost?” Aizawa asked. You did a double take, wondering if it was really that obvious. Kid, though? How old were you?

“Um, yeah, I’m pretty lost, I think. I’m not really from around here,” you vaguely expressed. Even you weren’t sure where here was. You were beginning to fear that this might just be your new reality, but naturally you couldn’t just accept that out of the blue. A large part of you was holding out hope that this was just a crazy dream. Because if Bakugou was a villain in this world, then what did that mean for the rest of the characters?

“You think? Did you hit your head or something? I can take you to the hospital to get it looked at,” he offered. You were pretty sure a concussion was the least of your worries, but sticking with Aizawa seemed safer than being alone in a strange place, at least. He did appear a little suspicious of your condition, but you were only telling the truth. You had no idea what was going on either.

“That might be a good idea. Thank you,” you agreed with a nod. While the doctor wasn’t likely to find any brain damage, you could at least see if you had the quirk factor gene thing or not. The odds were next to zero, but if this was a dream, you might just turn out to be super overpowered!

Yeah, right. Even if you did suddenly find yourself being up to par with some of the main characters, there wasn’t much you could do with it. Public quirk usage was illegal, and it’s not like you’d end up in a hero school with zero documents to prove you actually existed.

You and Aizawa walked in silence, presumably to the nearest hospital. You really hoped he wasn’t also a villain in this world. But if he was, then why would he have helped to calm you down? So, you were probably safe. For now, at least. You couldn’t cling to him forever.

When you reached the hospital, Aizawa took you to the emergency room. You didn’t think you were that much of an emergency, but you couldn’t provide much of a counterargument without revealing too much. What were you supposed to say, anyway? “Oh, hey, by the way, you’re just a character from an anime I watched back home, except for some reason the timeline got really messed up and now Bakugou’s a villain?” As if! He’d think you were crazy!

So instead, you went along with it as you were brought back almost immediately. You weren’t sure if it was because they thought you had a head injury, or because you were with a pro hero. Either way, it wasn’t fair to the other people waiting, those who actually needed help. But again, there was nothing you could do.

Several annoying and probably unnecessary tests later, a doctor came back to your room to speak with you. “Well,” she began, sitting down on a stool, “I have good news and bad news. The good news is that all the tests came back normal. The bad news is, well, none of our staff could find any information on you. Are you sure your name is in our system correctly?”

You knew this would happen, unless the universe magically decided to cover for you. “Yes, they’re correct. I just, I don’t really remember anything else. I know that and some basic information but that’s about it. I don’t even know where I come from, just that it’s not here,” you told her, trying to be as calm as possible. You’d had plenty of time to think about what to do while you were waiting on the results, and you figured amnesia was the best option.

It was true, in a sense, that you didn’t know where you came from. You were beginning to be convinced that this was reality, but you didn’t know how. Was this some sort of parallel universe? You didn’t know how all that physics stuff worked, but that sounded the most likely.

The good news about the timeline being messed up was that you didn’t have to worry about your presence messing things up. You were basically free to do whatever you wanted. You were, however, severely limited by the fact that according to the government, you weren’t a real person.

The doctor and Aizawa shared a look. “Well, I’m going to step out and have a chat with the doctor here about what to do next,” Aizawa said in a tone that didn’t betray anything. That made you nervous. Were you in trouble because you’d said you were his fan? Were you going to be interrogated, or worse, sent off to Tartarus, never to see the light of day again?

No, you’d be fine. Everything would be fine. You just had to focus on your breathing, and try not to think about everything that could go wrong. From what you knew about him, Aizawa wouldn’t turn on you so quickly. You hadn’t done anything wrong.

After a surprisingly brief amount of time, Aizawa re-entered the room alone. The doctor must’ve left to go see other patients. “Hey kid, it sounds like you’ve been through a lot. So until we figure out what to do with you, you’re welcome to crash at my place. I’m guessing you don’t have any school to attend?”

“I don’t know, Mr. Aizawa,” you mumbled. What else were you supposed to say, anyway? Who knows, maybe you could go for a career in acting after all this was over. You’d have plenty of practice by then, that’s for sure. You felt guilty for lying to him, of course, but what choice did you have?

“I figured as much. I’ll talk to the principal at the school I teach at and see if we can’t get you enrolled when the new school year starts two weeks from now,” he supplied. You tried not to let your surprise show on your face. You were going to go to UA?! Nezu would still have to agree, but this was beginning to sound like a classic main character development. You didn’t want this hero academia; especially not when everything could be messed up!

“In the meantime, I’m sure you must be exhausted. Come on, let’s go home,” Aizawa said. Home. That was a nice sentiment. Here you were, in a new world all by yourself, unsure of what was the same and what had changed. But at least you had a place to rest your head.

My Fanon for my Fics - Cye's HC

Soooo here are my Cye head canons. There will probably be a second post because I've got so many.

In my fics, Cye's the youngest. It goes Sage, Rowen, Kento, Ryo and Cye

The boys ages run from 17-19. *shrug* the art style didn't make them look like kids and it always bothered me. Soooo I moved stuff up a bit.

Cye's mother is from the UK and his dad is from Japan. His father is in the navy (or Japanese equivalent) and was shipped around to different places. He meets their mother on his first station in the UK. Then he was moved back to Japan. 10 years later he was asked to move back to the UK which is where Cye was born.

Cye's father dies right after he gets the armor. His mother blames Cye for not being able to save their father even though there was no way he could have known or done anything about it.

Mrs. Mouri runs from being waaaay too helicopter over her precious son to being that toxic helicopter. Where he's gaslit into believing stupid things. (I thank you perfect fanfic writer from early 2000s for these headcanons because I live for them)

One of the main thing she gas lights him on is being weak and that his sister should have found the armor maybe then their father would have been alive.

Sayako is a protective spit fire of a woman who looks like the perfect house wife until she opens her mouth. She's learned the proper way of the Japanese wife but when prompted can just lose it and will beat you for touching her brother. She can also drink anyone under the table. Kento may or may not be terrified of her and she loves it. She was convinced that Kento was going to get her brother's heart and is in shock when it winds up being Rowen.

Sayako doesn't take her mothers crap and will throw it right back into her face.

Out of the 5 armors, Torrent has to regularly be "recharged" and taken to the ocean to retain it's power. If Cye or the armor is away from water too long it can negatively impact his health.

Because of this Cye worries that he's the weakest warrior out of all of them when we know it's not true.

The armor is always trying to push Cye back towards the water even when it's not healthy for him to do so. (big in my POTS universe).

Torrent is the armor that connects the other 8 to each other and holds them together in a bond. Without Cye or Torrent the team would fall apart and could turn evil very easily (actually have a fic written off this). Basically the others have to keep him alive above all else but the ancient forbids Cye knowing about it.

He has the stuffed whale named Suki and it's the size of a large teddy bear and it goes EVERYWHERE when they are spending the night. Kento doesn't blink an eye and just talks to it like he's a real thing.

Cye also has a slight addiction to squishmellows and sea creature stuffed animals. He has a killer whale plush that fills up the entire love seat in his apartment.

He has normal pajamas and slippers but he owns a few one piece shark, killer whale and dolphin pajamas. He'll never admit to it out in public.

Because of his mother and the fact that he couldn't save his father, he feels like he's a disappointment and so he never shows how he truely feels to anyone except Kento at first. He hides when he's hurt and refuses to worry anyone else to the point it gets ridiculous.

He loves baking (just like actual fanon) but can make beautifully decorated pies, loafs, etc.

He loves cooking just as much. He will use recipes and has so many books but also makes his own up and they rarely fail.

He has a sky blue checkered apron with a killer whale on it that he stitched all by himself.

While he doesn't always show it, Cye loves being witness to drama and will sit and nod politely acting as if he's caring but is only taking it in to spill to Sayako later. XD

He's more jealous than he comes across and can be a bit of a brat sometimes. Kento knows this and warns everyone else but no one believes him until they get to NY and Cye basically kicks Runa/Luna down the stairs after she gets too close to Rowen. ("So sad." He looks back not wincing at the crash before smiling innocently, "Anyway, we're going to find Mia and Yuli in Little Tokyo"

He's addicted to tea. He needs it and pouts when he doesn't get it or can't make it.

He loves to host people and have proper tea. He's very knowledgeable about it across the board for the world wide practices as well.

His favorite TV Show is Midsummer Murders and he forces Rowen and Sage to watch it.

He's also a disney fan and loves the movies. (Little Mermaid is his favorite, obviously)

He will nag the hell out of you with anything you are doing. He's the equivalent of a back seat driver x 10000.

I have more but these are off the top of my head XD. @kosmicpowers (tagging because you said you were excited to know more. The other guys are coming soon.)

[cowboy-robooty]

hiii! I was going through your acc today (well now that I say it out loud, it sounds weird) and I wonder how many AUs of you have cause I’m curious

omg i wrote an entire thing and the draft didnt saveeeee.... divine intervention saying STFU ALREADY. wwwww im glad to hear you read my blog like the morning paper though *angel emoji* i need to blog on here more often.... well... wiener is dying in the california fires rn. so thats why you been seeing im talking about whatever all the time LOL.

anyways if you mean only hetalia aus then I have my angel demon au (you probably know it) and my idol au that I have not released publically online yet but GOD I HAVE SO MUCH SHIT FOR IT LOL. Whenever I make an au i get really invested as you can tell and tbh im always pondering if i should just make this shit my ocs. but mehhh idgaf im never making an actual tv show or comic even though i envision it in my head so who gaf i keep it as itager yatta! I want to release more about my aus and such but I always somehow get so caught up in making things properly organized and such bc i get so wrapped up in world building..... i need to just post whatever and let those who like it search around my blog to learn more -_- I hope everyone will like my idol au when I release it though. You all know I'm Japanese and i think this au really proves I am since I have the gene that compels mangaka to make a series where the premise is like "I won a cereal voucher for an ultra rare prize that the moon goddess wanted but I lost it somewhere and now we have to fight a bunch of villains very obviously based off characters in sherlock holmes to get it back" and then they just roll with it. because my idol au is kind of a bunch of bullshit but its because it's based off that one idol italy drawing I drew over a year ago for wiener and i went "okay. what could make germany become an idol manager? hmmmm.. okay this is the only possible way [most dumbass idea ever]"

If you also want to know about my aus for other fandoms uhmm i have my au for the boondocks where tom and sarah divorce but its like a whole episode thing and tom ends up dating pretty boy flizzy and at first grandad n the boys are kinda weirded out but flizzy is a millionaire and immdiately after grandad is homophobic to tom in the lowkey sense (that tom doesnt notice) tom is like "thanks robert for being so supportive. well I've got to get going, fitzgerald (it would be fucking hilarious if flizzy's real first name is fitzgerald) and I are going jet skiing with post malone. Yeah, and afterwards were having wagyu sushi lined with gold leaf caviar and dodo bird! How fancy right?" and grandads all like DODO BIRD? AINT THAT EXTINCT? etc etc and increasingly he sees that actually tom dating pretty boy flizzy is amazing bc flizzy is rich and spoils him. and hes like BOYS PERHAPS I WAS TOO HARSH ON THE LGBT COMMUNITY. and riley even gets in on it too cuz flizzy is a cool ass rapper and hes like shiiiiiiiiiiiit hes kinda gangsta af though. and like after this ep they turn out as a real long term couple for the rest of the series. theyre in the bg and shit and come in to help when some bullshit is going on as usual yk. I need to think more about how to make it a proper episode with classic boondocks flavor social commentary though. I want to make it a doujin one day and have my black in-law friend help me with the script bc im not going to say the n word but its not really boondocks dialogue without it so i will need him to collaborate with me.

i also have my golden kamuy aus too. the yaoi ogata au is a big one but this post is becoming gianormous so send me another ask if you'd like to be introduced to yaoi ogata. and i have my usakado au that isn't really an au but I have a very specific way I want this ship to occur. because I don't think it's canon at all but if it were to happen the only way it could (and should) is if kadokura is about to be trampled to death by noahs arc bc of his luck but then in a twist of events usami ends up getting trampeled. and kadokura thinks that this is good luck but actually its his regular bad luck bc after usami heals from the incident he has critical brain damage that transfers his lust and yandere obsession from tsurumi to kadokura (being loved by usami is worse than dying LOL). And it spirals from there. I want it to also have a lot of biblical references because I think it really fits usakado to have kadokura like a jesus marytr since his bad luck will counteract usami's unending lust for world destruction. Since by being together the bad luck makes it so usami always fails at the crazy shit hes trying to do and it's like kadokura is protecting the world from usamis insanity by taking it all..... figuratively and in the ass too! how beautiful is that?
