given, the finale.

akihiko in the same room with the woman who has a massive crush on him and the man that is his on-again-off-again fuck buddy but his eyes are stuck looking at his band's bassist to the point that said woman was able to deduce akihiko's in love with said bassist

GET UP KAJI AKIHIKO?!

[totallyexhausted]

This idea has been kicking around in my head for a while... Thoughts?

Basically, a 14-year-old Uenoyama is sick after a show (like really sick because he was hiding it to play this show because it was just a headache and low grade fever - amateur stuff) and Kaji and Haruki take care of him. It's really cute in my head so I'll try to do the head cannon notes justice :) Let me know your thoughts:

Basically after their show, Ritsuka pukes in Haruki’s car. All three are driving back after their show (they’ve only been preforming/ practicing a few months) that is about three hours away. Since they are newly formed, they’ll take anything they can get. The fourth member of the band rode back with his girlfriend (some tension there between him and the other three), and Haruki/ Kaji talk in the front seat, smoking while driving through the dark; Ritsuka “sleeping” in the back, his head against the window. He’s been fairly quiet and sluggish since their show ended, but the older two chalk it up to him being drained between starting High School and practicing/ performing; besides, Uenoyama wasn’t really a talker/ sharer. They’ve been practicing a lot lately to get their sound right as they are still learning how to work with each others sound/ technique.

Ritsuka ends up jerking awake and vomiting on himself/ in the backseat, and Haruki pulls over all flustered as him and Kaji get out, opening the side door. The 14-year-old is all lethargic and sweaty (and gross); he has a high fever, barely responding to Kaji’s questions or Haruki’s touches as he tries to clean him up; pulling the kid’s soiled shirt from him and giving the teen his jacket for now as Kaji coaxes him to take some water Haruki had in his trunk. It comes back up.

They end up taking the 14-year-old to a clinic. Haruki in the waiting area while Kaji calls Ritsuka’s sister to explain what was going on. Him pacing outside, flicking his cigarette ash to the ground as Haruki reflects. The clinic gives the teenager fluids and want to keep him over night but don’t have any open beds available- they opt to send him “home” with some meds, explaining the kid would need rest and that he probably has a stomach bug.

After some bickering, Haruki and Kaji decide to check in at a dingy motel a few blocks over; Kaji gripping his arm around the swaying teenager as Haruki unlocks the door. The room is plain to say the least- one bed, one couch and cheap decorations. But considering the two college students didn’t have much money, and Ritsuka wasn’t a complainer, the room would work for the night. Besides Yayoi said she’d feel better if her brother got some rest versus finishing the two hour drive back at 2am.

Ritsuka getting worse throughout the night (puking, can’t keep anything down, fever, headache, everything), his temperature remaining steady because the clinic explained that it could take a while for his body to respond to the fluids. Haruki waking up to Kaji talking softly to Ritsuka in the bathroom as the kid retches (it’s alright. You’re alright, little dude. It’s okay…) At one point, the 14-year-old breaks down, demanding his sister (which freaks out Haruki because it’s so out of place) but Yayoi usually takes care of him when he’s sick after their mom. Kaji manages to make a deal with the teenager to let Haruki help clean him up (something he’s been trying to do for a while like changing his shirt again or washing his hair or wiping him off, etc… getting the kid to drink more or take meds) and Kaji will call his sister so they can talk. Ritsuka finally agrees and Kaji calls Yayoi at 4/5am (she curses Kaji out at first for waking her, ie Haruki overhearing Kajis conversation in the other room - “yeah, he wants to talk to you. No, but if it doesn’t break by morning, we’ll take him back to the clinic…”) so the kid can talk to her/ she can calm him down. Yayoi says that Ritsuka can get emotional if he’s overly exhausted/ not feeling well.

Haruki stepping out of the bathroom when Ritsuka starts talking to his sister because the kid breaks basically the second he hears her voice, saying he wants to go home, he doesn’t feel well and he wants her, etc.

Kaji, leaning against the door as Haruki lets out a steady breath, swallowing thickly as the 14-year-old chokes.

“You okay?”

Haruki nods, clearing his throat, “Yeah. Just kind of forgot he’s a lot younger than us…”

Haruki/ Kaji being best bros to the teenager- “You gotta tell us these things man. We’re a band… maybe more than a band. We’re like brothers.”

Haruki being sweet and gentle despite feeling awkward. Him sleeping next to the 14-year-old because the kid asked shyly to not be alone - Yayoi scolded him for not letting Haruki or Kaji help - Kaji speaking lowly, referring to Ritsuka as “little dude, little man, kid,” etc. He has sisters so he knows a few things about taking care of someone. Kaji sleeping on the crappy couch, arguing with Yayoi on the phone… comes back from a convenience store run to Ritsuka sleeping against Haruki, Haruki running his fingers through the kids hair and Kaji joking around but in reality, it’s cute.

Yeah. Maybe I’ll try dabbling this week as I am off for a week and half. But I have the idea of Ritsuka getting sick and Haruki/ Kaji (they flirt with each other playfully - Kaji mentions that Haruki’s hair is getting long/ Haruki saying he’s gunna cut it soon and Kaji saying he shouldn’t because it’s pretty which leads to Haruki blushing) caring for this kid they’ve heard rumors about as a guitarist prodigy, a kid they barely know. It being awkward at first because they’ve only known each other for a few months. Tension with the fourth member. Thoughts?

heya! got any comics you like?

Oh man. This depends a lot on what we're counting as "comics". I'm gonna assume you aren't a snob about the definition- you seem pretty normal about that kinda thing- and that this question counts any form of comic- so western comics, webcomics, eastern comics, etc. The first things that come to mind are...

Scott Pilgrim, by Bryan Lee O'Malley.

Dykes to Watch Out For, by Alison Bechdel.

Homestuck, by Andrew Hussie.

Problem Sleuth, by Andrew Hussie.

Whistles: The Starlight Calliope, by Andrew Hussie.

Blood on the Tracks, by Shūzō Oshimi.

Hellstar Remina, by Junji Ito.

Tomie, by Junji Ito.

The Enigma Of Amigara Fault, by Junji Ito.

Vagabond, by Takehiko Inoue.

Seeds of Anxiety, by Masaaki Nakayama.

Hello, Melancholic!, by Yayoi Ohsawa.

Goodnight Punpun, by Inio Asano.

There's definitely a lot more, but those are for another day. Again, these are just what come to mind first. I read a lot of manga, lol. Sorry if you were expecting some superhero stuff, I'm more into superhero cartoons than anything else. (Teen Titans 2003 and Invincible, anyone?)

I have recommendations out the ass. If you ever need cartoon, anime, video game, or movie recommendations, hit my line, I've got millions. If you don't like horror, then I've got... Only hundreds. Lmao. Still a solid amount, just... Quite a bit less. (I do have good entry-level horror media if you're ever looking to get into it, though, since I remember you mentioning you aren't much of a horror guy. Finding good gateway horror is a bit tricky, but I've got everyone's back on that one. Been here my whole life. I know my way around the block.)

❔ for the WIP ask game

Thanks, Anon!

❔Choose a random WIP and talk about it.

I've only got one real WIP on the go. I've talked about The Ultimatum of Haruhi Suzumiya in various places, but I'm not sure how much of that you'll have seen and it'll be nice to have it all in one place.

TUoHS is my Haruhi Suzumiya/Danganronpa Crossover fanfic, in which Haruhi is accepted as a student at Hope's Peak Academy and consequently Kyon, Koizumi, Nagato, Asahina, and Asakura end up there as well. I've, um, bodged the timeline so that they're in the same year as Makoto Naegi, in a second class.

The roster for that class, 78-B, (and the roster for the killing game) is filled up by OCs:

Satoru Ishihara: Ultimate Journalist

Konosuke Kamio: Ultimate Film Critic

Katsuya Terasaki: Ultimate Firefighter

Hitomi Maeda: Ultimate Chemist

Mayumi Uehara: Ultimate Mathematician

Arata Nakayama: Ultimate Archaeologist

Taichi Fujino: Ultimate Driver

Yayoi Mikawa: Ultimate Cosplayer

Ikko Watari: Ultimate Scam Artist

The story will be in two halves once it's completed: a future side that's a Fanganronpa with these characters, and a past side with the Haruhi characters at Hope's Peak, sort of blending standard Haruhi antics in that setting with showing how Ultimate Despair and the killing games will start in this crossover.

I am nearly 300,000 words into the future side and I'm only halfway through the third arc so I'm still miles away from being able to publish and that fact weighs on me every day of my life.

Let's talk about Yayoi, and what we understand of Akihiko and his changing feelings towards Ugetsu and Haruki through her eyes and behavior.

I call it the curious case of one Kaji Akihiko.

I feel like Yayoi has known Akihiko for longer than Haruki.

They're in the same year, so it seems feasible.

And one of Yayoi's first impressions of Aki was that he wouldn't hide whom he loved at all. His eyes always followed them.

(Yeah its not like he changed. its just that NOW HE CAN BE HIMSELF)

So she knew of Ugetsu and should've known that she had no chance right?

But still she jokingly confessed to Aki, and he turned her down.

Yet she didn't give up entirely.

I'm guessing Aki's behavior towards the person she thought he had a crush on changed somehow, and that gave her hope that she could still have a chance, even if a little bit?

So, even after she was rejected we had seen her riding together with Akihiko. Or them being friendly in the campus.

Akihiko seems pretty fond of her. He has a tendency of taking care of people he likes anyway. And he likes Yayoi, that much is evident.

So much so, that Haruki thinks that she is his girlfriend.

Akihiko's behavior is pretty curious here too. We know that he was trying to hide his shameful gigolo image from Haruki.

Like here, in this flashback, he noticed Haruki and he was all like, 'don't talk to me now.' to his companion.

It's more like he wants Haruki to notice him with this respectable beautiful girl, (who also happens to be Ritsuka's sister. Yayoi is NOT harmful for his image in front of Haruki.)

It's more or less clear that at this point of time Akihiko wasn't thinking of ever trying to woo Haruki, or date him. He was just hiding his true self and his ugly relationship and his shameful lifestyle from Haruki as not to make him hate him, or see him as inferior.

But it didn't change the fact that he was inadvertently falling in love with Haruki.

(Here's one thing I am sure of, Akihiko met Haruki right after Ugetsu broke up with him out of nowhere, and it was from the very first meeting that Haruki became his savior, his go to comfort blanket if you will.)

Well, so going back to Yayoi, she went to the summer competition, of course for Ritsuka, but more importantly to try to get closer to Akihiko.

She totally wasn't aware of Haruki at this time. But she was wary of Ugetsu, as she should've been. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just look at her face when Ugetsu showed up here.

(Also notice Akihiko's expression here please! He is so on edge that Ugetsu actually showed up at his safe place, his band's performance! 😭 I always say every panel and every expression in given matters and just please please please pay attention to them.)

Ah! These panels are hilarious, they were funny the first time I read them, but in retrospect, they are even funnier.

Haruki jealous of the person he thinks is Akihiko's girlfriend, that alleged girlfriend Yayoi wary of the person she thinks Akihiko is in love with but may be slowly getting over.

And ugetsu all smug.

He has no idea what's gonna hit him LMAO.

Anyyyway, here's where things get interesting.

At this point Akihiko had trauma bonding with Ugetsu, but he had fallen in love with Haruki.

From right after Ugetsu showed up, Akihiko's behavior is noteworthy. He is on edge and extra clingy to Haruki.

Just look at his face here. He didn't have any reason to be that shaken here in normal circumstances.

And then in the very next panel we have this Yayoi, noticing the look on Akihiko's face looking at Haruki. We can't see his eyes, keeping true to Kizu's style.

But yeah it's the very next panels. And what she sees is Akihiko for no reason at all following Haruki like a lost puppy.

Really, he didn't need to follow Haruki like that that very moment.

Ritsuka had already took off, things had been taken care of.

He just needed to be closer to Haruki to calm his nerves, what with Ugetsu's presence putting more pressure on him.

And notice these panels of Yayoi, uncanny similarity with Ugetsu's "bye bye Akihiko" while he goes chasing after Haruki.

And then we see Haruki as the one totally in charge here. Looking after everyone, calming everyone down.

The moment Haruki is trying to go do things a little away from Akihiko, Akihiko is all like, I will go with you too!

He is not needed there, Haru isn't even looking at him, Take Chan is one of the organizers and obviously Haruki is the one to set everything up for their band.

He just can't be away from Haruki for a moment.

And he needs Haruki to look at him, pay attention to him.

Yes, he wants Haruki to know how important Haruki is for them and their band, but that's more for his own sake than Haruki's sake here.

Haruki might not have noticed, and we might have not noticed the first time reading it, but really, Haruki just saved Akihiko here again too. Not the band, but Akihiko himself.

And how cute is his “I might end up dying too?” Knowing full well Haruki would react the way he did? He just wanted Haruki to care for him😭

And Yayoi witnessed it, and witnessed Akihiko looking at Haruki during the performance. And how heartbroken she must had been, to know that Akihiko is surely getting over one person, but has fallen for another one like this, too deep, too desperate? And it's not her?

😭

Her love remained one sided.

Thank God for Take Chan!

He is way better for Yayoi than Akihiko could ever be anyway. 😭

Incorrect Texts Pt. 2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAFUYU!!

[gentleharu]

Give them some time. Soon, Yayoi will be calling Haruki "Haru-chan" and will be no. 1 person to tell Akihiko, "You did what? Are you stupid? Haru-chan deserves better, go back and apologize to him right now!"

MISSMAAM KIZU WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THIS YOUNGEST SIBLING x ONLY CHILD DYNAMIC THAT I AM SO OBSESSED WITH

once again thinking how haruki's the youngest in their family (two older sisters) but he's the oldest in the band. the contrast of it. he grew up on love freely given on a family that is very accepting that cares about each other so much and was able to share that to three people that needs those.

he gave ritsuka a place where he can play the music he wants, how he wants it, without any restraint and freely. he gave mafuyu a place to let out his feelings through singing as well as an avenue to freely improve and nurture his talent in music. he gave akihiko a place to run to and show him that music is still fun.

haruki gave and showed the three a family the same as his family growing up.

[totallyexhausted]

Really want a fic with Uenoyama trying to convince everyone he’s fine when in fact he feels terrible, and Mafuyu (maybe Kaji called him out on his BS), being the sweet boyfriend he is, takes care of him… or Mafuyu goes to their spot one day to find Uenoyama sleeping (Uenoyama’s friends said he didn’t feel well) with a fever, and he either cuddles up next to him or lays his head in his lap, letting the bell ring and stuff so his bf could sleep, and taking care of him as he gets worse after school - or Mafuyu walks home with him after him, Kaji and Haruki said to just go home and not push through the remainder of school and that if he showed up at practice, they’d kick his ass - they told Mafuyu to watch him to make sure Mistroyama actually slept and took meds.
