#OH AND ramuda in samatoki too head in hands

[kuragesoda]

man why are all the ramuda cards i like gacha cards 😔😔💔

[crehador]

icsm but one of them works as like the mascot that hands out flyers?? either an au where this is they havent met before or maybe its one of ichiros jobs ? (random thought i had in the shower) -🪱

OH OH OH i cannot remember the artist but i saw a fancomic like this not too long ago! or maybe it was very long ago i have shit memory

ichi was in the mascot costume and i think gave samatoki a balloon (maybe also samatoki hugged the mascot? for some reason? i don't rember) and then later in the break area ichi took off the mascot head and i think just had a little like "wtf am i doing 😵‍💫" moment bc iirc it was still bachibachi era

in au terms i love the idea of this being maybe like same age high school au (as in they are the same age as each other) where samatoki takes tiny nemu to a theme park and ichiro is in the hello kitty mascot costume and is super sweet to her when she trips and scrapes her knee AND ichiro is samatoki's classmate and baseball team teammate so when samatoki is talking about the cool mascot guy the next day they're in class together ichiro is just like :3c

bonus crack idea: imagine one day everyone is sick of bachibachi era and decide to just let icsm beat the shit out of each other once to move on BUT they have to be in like an enormous hello kitty and badtz-maru mascot costume for it, like the super puffy ones

ramuda sells tickets

[akkivee]

Wait I wanna see your current hypmic pokemon teams 👀

under a read more because i added pics instead of a screenshot of my notes page lol

and some notes because of course i have notes lmao:

i tried to emulate red’s team for ichiro lol. the pachirisu on there is a nod to the team that won competitive champions with a pachirisu on the team but i think i’m going to change it to something on the pawmi evolution series because i love pawmi lmao

jiro’s team is a lot more cracked than i thought it was while putting them together lol. initially i wanted the bros to be fire, water, electric for their colours but you can’t tell me cinderace wasn’t made for jiro lmao

a handful of saburo’s pkmn have pkdx entries that mention prickly attitudes lol

the bros all have a rowlet evolution because bukuro!!!!!!

samatoki’s pkmn either have something to do with his name or general tragic vibe lol. his salamence is a rival pkmn to ichiro’s flygon and that incineroar is his fighter spirit

officer jenny in the anime had an arcanine so so does juto lol. the machop is his muscle he likes to bring along on missions (like rio) and the others represent his various interests. lopunny lol

bugs and tough mons were what i was going for for rio. i think i’m going to change aggron to bastiodon tho for its shield head 🤔

ramuda’s pkmn are either cute, unfortunate or both lmao. i went with type null but i did give ramuda a mewtwo at one point. it’s a legendary tho so i’m thinking of changing it 🤔

gentaro’s are all about his vibe really lol. tropius tho is there for his love of dinosaurs 🤗

dice’s pkmn are all primed for wild living lol. gyarados was a magikarp dice won from gambling and he fully intended to eat it lmao. aegislash is a remnant from the life he left behind

jakurai’s team i think needs a revisit 🤔 but for now, happini represents his renewed vow to heal/save and the others are graceful ass kickers lol. tentacruel is there because of his rhyme anima tentacles lol

idk if i still vibe with maractus for hifumi but it is there for its thorns. malamar is representive of his hypnosis ability

doppo’s pkmn are either lethargic like he is or not okay mentally lol. the petilil is for his botany hobby but i’ve been thinking about changing it to a succulent themed pkmn. like maractus for example lol

dohifu plusle minun!!!!!! mtr dog/wolf pkmn!!!!!

most of sasara’s pkmn have his eyes lmao. klefki is there because i think him having a bunch of copies of rosho’s house key is hilarious as it is very worrisome lol

i gave rosho a lot of baby pkmn due to his caretaker nature but that mightyena and pangoro are for his strife nature lol. and slowking is there for its intelligence like rosho’s intelligence 😌

for the life of me i cannot remember why i gave rei a dragonite so i’ll be rethinking this one fs lol. but his others suit his vibes and accomplishments lol (eg poipole is a pkmn not of this world and matches ramuda’s porygon) he’d have a ho-oh but i’m trying not to give anyone legendaries 😅

rosasa both have monkeys and the moms i find one for rei that ursaring is GONE lol

kuukou is a temple boy and therefore a ghost type trainer lowkey lol. his spiritomb i chose because it actually parallels his name and the medicham and darumaka are also for his buddhist spirit

his monkey parallels ichiro’s monkey but i’m thinking of finding a different breed of pkmn to play matchy matchy with since i want to give rei a monkey lol

oinkologne used to be emboar and i might change it back but for now, this pig matches jyushi’s aesthetic, like all his pkmn do lol

*cries* all of hitoya’s pkmn have his hair but i chose the wrong meowstic on his card i’m so sad lol!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 obstagoon is for that old rock soul of his and golurk is for his protective nature. i knew i wanted to give hitoya a quaxly the moment i saw it, the question is do i evolve it so it can match hitoya’s dancer spirit too lol

[iisuya-simps]

Hi there! Could I request Ichiro, Samatoki and Ramudas s/o wearing their outfits? Thank yoouu :)

Yessss, because these are short I’ll do 4 characters and throw in Jiro too just cuz I want to :p

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ichiro Yamada

"Hey babe have you seen my-" Ichiro walks into the living room to see you in his hoodie trying to beatbox and make weird signs with your hands. He grins and shakes his head.

"I'm a rapper, not a beatboxer yknow." You smirk and turn your head to the side.

"What's the difference?"

"Oh, I'll show you the difference, come here!"

"Eep!" He tackles you to the ground.

"Think you can take me in a rap battle, cutie?"

"Anyday!"

"Heh." He pats your head giving your hair a little ruffle.

"I'd like to see you try"

Samatoki Aohitsugi

You're changing your clothes in the bedroom when you decide it would be fun to throw on one of Samatoki's button-up shirts. Grabbing one of his cigarettes off the nightstand you walk to the kitchen where Samatoki is making dinner and start mumbling with a cigarette in your mouth.

"Food is almost ready, I'm just waiting for-" he catches a glimpse of you from the corner of his eye.

"Give me that." He snatches the cigarette from your mouth and stuffs it in his jeans.

"I don't need you mimicking my bad habits."

"Hehehe." He looks you up and down.

"But I do like the way you in my clothes." He smirks. "Are you trying to distract me?"

Ramuda Amemura

"Ramudaaa~" You say in a sing-songy voice and hop over to the counter at the shop. He looks over to see you in his oversized turquoise hoodie with a lollipop hanging out of your mouth.

"Waah! You look so cute y/n-chan! Let me take a picture! I just have to show Gentaro and Dice! Ramuda bounces out of his chair and grabs his phone.

You pose while he takes a few pictures with some filters on, then some selfies of the both of you together.

"Haha, now you're almost as cute as me. He winks. We could be twins or something!

"I'll be taking this." He plucks the lollipop from your hand and sticks it in his mouth.

"Hey! Ramuda!"

"Hehe."

Jiro Yamada

"Y/n I can't find my-"

"Hat?"

Jiro looks up to see you in front of him posing with your arms crossed in his hat and jacket.

"Ay yo, you wanna fight dawg?" You playfully push on Jiro's chest. "You can't mess with me!"

"Haha very funny, now give me my hat." He reaches around trying to take it from you.

"Nah man, you're gonna have to fight me for it."

Jiro easily backs you into the wall, kissing your cheek he subdues you and takes his hat back.

"You can keep my jacket but I need my hat."

"Awww. But now the look is ruined..."

Thank you for reading!

[fluffypeachwriting]

Can I have Ichiro and his fem crush playing spin the bottle with the rest of TDD plss? And also I love your writing so much, it always makes me happy!! So thanks❤️

This was a super cute and fun request to do, I hope you enjoy it! I set it in the TDD era, when Ichiro was a little shyer~  ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

It was nothing but a ploy by the other three to get you two to finally kiss.

Ramuda was more than happy to plant cheek kisses on his friends, much to the dismay of his teammates. On a few occasion he had to be dragged back to his spot on the floor after whining that he couldn’t kiss Samatoki on the lips. Both Samatoki and Jakurai would rather be doing anything else than this, but they stuck it out to see the baby of the group in the situation he wanted, even if Ichiro was too shy to admit that.

Currently, Jakurai had landed just a kiss with you, and like the gentleman he was, he asked if he could simply give you a kiss to the back of your hand. You didn’t see Ichiro pout next to you. However, Samatoki and Ramuda did, and they gave each other a knowing look, like they were your older siblings.

Jakurai promptly sat back in his place, after giving a gentle pat to your head. “A young lady like yourself deserves the utmost respect, wouldn’t you agree, Ichiro?”

“Huh?” He didn’t expect to be put on the spot at all. “Sure. I mean, yeah.” He slouched back, tapping his nails on the glass cola bottle he had almost finished.

At one point he tried to tell himself that he just had to wait it out, that the reason he was here was to get close to his crush, and an opportunity like this wouldn’t come again without you suspecting something was up.

It could have been because of the hot summer evening, or five people packed into one room, either way Ichiro’s face was flushed to his ears. He hoped you didn’t look back at him. He tried to not get lost in imaginary scenarios of kicking the others out so he could kiss you in private. Starting from your hand; Ichiro wanted to be a gentlemen for you too, moving up your arm, pecking the softer skin around your neck, then maybe, maybe, maybe, kissing you… on the…

“Waaaiiii! I ~ chi ~ ro ~!”

Those fantasies came to an abrupt end as the pink blur next to him grabbed his face and gave him a kiss on the forehead. On a typical evening he would get flustered from the affection of his teammates (even if he secretly liked it), yet this was not a typical evening. He knew that the next turn was his. He was getting tired, and it wouldn’t be long before he had to go home. This could very well be his last turn. Out of the corner of his eye he saw you waiting patiently for him to spin.

You, so seemingly unaware of the mental battle Ichiro was having with himself.

He had been brave in his imagination, though that didn’t translate to his body. The empty bottle in the middle was almost rejecting him, like his own fear of messing up his friendship with you was enough to hold him back. The glass almost slipped out of his hand as he spun it, and while it moved he tried to reassure himself. That scared part of him wanted it to land on someone else – the mental image of him kissing Samatoki quickly shoved that fear away. The bottle slowed down and Ichiro thought his heart would jump up through his throat.

It slowed…

And slowed…

And slowed…

It passed by Samatoki…

And then it by passed Jakurai…

And then it by passed you.

And then it landed on himself.

“Oh. What do I… do?”

“Aha!” Ramuda had thought on the spot – this hadn’t happened before, “It means you get to pick!” Ramuda knew exactly what he was doing. He was telling Ichiro that he could make a move now or forever hold his peace.

“I choose,” Ichiro knew who he wanted to choose. The only person he the room he hadn’t been paired with yet. “Um,” He lifted his head from looking at the bottle and tried to nonchalantly look at you. His mind raced. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Are my lips dry? Do I need to wear chapstick? Does my breath smell bad? Is my face clean? Do I smell sweaty? What if I need to burp? What if she doesn’t even want to kiss me? Should I just go for the cheek? What if she rejects me?

“Ichiro?” You asked, leaning over to make eye contact, and then leaning a little further in the hope that you read the room right.

“Can I kiss you?” Ichiro looked worried. Vulnerable. “On the cheek?”

“Yes.” You turned your head slightly to give him access. “Of course.”

It was hard to not smile as you felt him take a breath and press his mouth to your cheek. His lips felt rough, like he had been biting them all evening, but warm nonetheless. His nose awkwardly bumped your face as he pulled back. The room was silent as he pulled himself together, and he was quickly unable to sit still. You knew he was totally inexperienced in this ‘field’, but seeing it proven right in front of you was too adorable.

“Wha – what?” Ichiro panicked, likely thinking he had done something wrong.

“You’re too cute, Ichiro.”

He may as well have passed out right there and then.

[saitama-division]

What does Lola (if i got the name wrong im so sorry) think about the terrible clothing choices in the guidebook wardrobe?

You got it right, don’t worry! And as for the fashion choices, well…

A look of sheer anger flashes on The Model’s face for a brief moment as she stared at the groups of abomination in front of her, she could feel her soul leaving her body and her eyebrow twitched as she tried to collect her thoughts (and tried not to strangle anyone). Although some outfits weren’t as nearly as bad as others, it didn’t calm the festering rage inside of her. What kind of God would do this and why is beyond her but one thing’s for sure, she had a lot to say…

“What the absolute fuck are you all wearing!?”

Ichiro: “You look like a ketchup packet dude, there’s no other way to say it….hm? Oh, would you rather I say you look like a walking used tampon?…Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

Jiro: “Did you just cut out random shit from magazines and glued it onto your pants and thought ‘Oh hell yeah, I look cool as shit’, well you don’t dear, you just look like one of those cringy tik tok e-boys. Please for the love of God, do not bite your lip.”

Saburo: “Is it a family thing to dress in the first thing you pick from the closet? God, and I thought you were the smart one! Maybe learn how to coordinate an outfit instead of hacking into the government or whatever kids do these days.”

Samatoki: “We get it man, you like skulls, you’re a badass, mR. hArDcOrE yOkOhAmA bAd BoY, fix your hair and maybe I’ll feel intimidated…maybe…yeah, no.”

Jyuto: “You know, I didn’t had faith in you but you have pleasantly surprised me. Well done, ‘Mr. Bunny Cop’ lol.”

Rio: “…Just throw the whole outfit away dude…”

Ramuda: She solemnly shook her head “Ramuda, my precious little lollipop, I had so much hope in you…and you fucking decimated them, you prick. Words cannot describe the sheer disappointment I am feeling right now, I have the urge to take you to the playground and at the same time, wring that pretty little neck of yours…What the fuck man.”

Gentaro: “You know, all you need is a hat and I can push you into the ocean, little sailor boy.”

Dice: “Dice, you look like a janitor who got some gaudy accessories from the pawn shop, and knowing you, I’m probably not too far off, am I?”

Jakurai: “Doc please, take off the coat, we’re not on a space ship. Not even your majestic hair can help you.”

Hifumi: *sigh* “The jacket’s nice Hifumi but the tail coat is a real turn off and please, please, please, get rid of those goddamn cowboy shoes, oh my fucking god DUDE-“

Doppo: “Relax corporate slave, I’ll go easy on you, for once. Sweater’s fine, remove the chain and wear solid color pants and you’ll finally look like a decent person.”

Kuko: “Is that your high rank outfit? Did you get promoted or something?”

Jyushi: “Shakespeare wants his outfit back, dude.”

Hitoya: “Did you even try, man!? You did the bare minimum for an outfit and it still looks bad! Throw it away, throw the damn outfit away!”

Sasara: “Look, I know you’re a comedian and it’s all part of the schtick but that is no fucking excuse to walk into society wearing that abomination, God, I can’t even look at you because of how bright the colors are…and because that outfit is trash.”

Rosho: “Y’know for a teacher, you don’t dress too bad…but the shoes man, the shoes, it looked so good until the shoes, please go wear some regular dress shoes.”

Rei: “Ugh, how is it that you look even more like a sleazy old man than before. You may got cash but that’s all you got really going for you. Gaudy is fucking gaudy old man, no amount of money can make that outfit look good.”

—

Lola threw her hands up in the air and stormed away, “That’s it, I can’t anymore, I’m done, I’m FUCKING done!”

Kureha was trying to hold back her laughter and Sayaka sweatdropped, “I’m so sorry, Lola gets uh…very passionate about fashion…”

Hope you like it! Thank you for the ask!

[slugtranslation-hypmic]

Here’s a pet tax!! This times he’s nuzzling against my arm!

Btw here’s your excuse to talk more about Dice. Or,,,any of Fling Posse! Have fun!

Oh, you enabler, you. Thank you for this opportunity and for the bunny picture.

A collection of thoughts on Dice and why he may very well be the most important character to Ramuda. Put under a cut for some slight TDD spoilers.

Dice’s Personality Traits

Compared to the other two nosy Nancies that make up Fling Posse, Dice himself is the king of minding his own business. While he does display definite interest in his friend’s lives - see asking Riou about his favorite food in the ARB event “Riou’s Kitchen” or discussing Gentarou’s latest story in FP/M chapter 7 - he tends to avoid discussing topics that make others feel uncomfortable.

This can make Dice appear oblivious, but Dice is much more emotionally observant than most characters give him credit for. Let’s take chapter 14 of FP/M for a great example of this. I’ll link it here, and I encourage you to read through it again paying careful attention to his facial expressions.

Dice begins the chapter deep in thought and adopts a solemn facial expression for the next few pages. Something is clearly preoccupying him.

However, the moment Ramuda appears, Dice begins acting much more animated and begins playing along with Ramuda in an attempt to cheer him up. Note that Dice observed Ramuda acting out of sorts for the entire battle in the previous chapters and hasn’t seen Ramuda awake since (according to chapter 15). He’s likely greatly concerned. It is arguable that his reactions are entirely food motivated...

... except for the fact that he returns to his previously somber state the moment Ramuda is no longer looking at him. Dice also doesn’t immediately accept Gentarou’s suggestion that Ramuda is trying to keep up appearances for their sake.

At the restaurant, Dice begins to play up the cheerful glutton again and attempts to directly cheer up Ramuda by operating under the assumption that Ramuda is disappointed by their loss.

When Ramuda goes to leave, the art emphasizes Gentarou’s concern, but the silhouette of Dice (and the lack of any bulging cheeks or cups carried up to his mouth) in the final panel indicates that he has once again returned to his more serious state. In this scene, Dice recognizes that something has gone terribly wrong.

Each member of Fling Posse is a performer putting on an act, and as noted by Ramuda’s reaction to Gentarou invading his privacy, Ramuda feels most comfortable when each actor plays his part. Dice is aware of this and thus acts the cheerful idiot for Ramuda in these scenes because he recognizes that Ramuda needs that stability.

If I may demonstrate another quick example, take a look at the scene from FP/M chapter 12 and compare how Dice acts without (first image) and with a visibly distressed Ramuda (other images) in the room.

The FP/M mangaka also says (in the afterword of volume 3), “I think [Dice] might have a good poker face and be able to control his facial expressions even when he’s flat out broke. But his posse doesn’t seem to understand that.“ Dice’s poker face is a boon here when he can use it to help the ones he cares about.

For Dice does care very greatly. Dice minds his own business and doesn’t make any overt actions as long as his friends are capable of handling situations on their own. However, the moment he recognizes that they are in over their heads, he takes swift and decisive action (which, in turn, can be harmful to others).

Take this scene in FP/M chapter 10 as a great example. Prior to Gentarou grabbing Hifumi, Dice was firmly a bystander, but he immediately leaps in when the situation escalates. Notice that he removes Hifumi from harm’s way but also serves a shield for Gentarou and focuses his attention on Gentarou’s wellbeing.

He then offers Gentarou physical reassurance with a hand on the shoulder and an out to the situation, which would have allowed Gentarou to move on as if his mask had never slipped if it were not for Hifumi’s next comment. Dice also shuts down Hifumi before it can escalate any further.

Although Hifumi is attempting to justify himself because he doesn’t understand Gentarou’s reaction and doesn’t see what he did wong, Dice recognizes that this statement also denies Gentarou the right to express his feelings on something which is clearly an enormous deal to him.

By labeling Hifumi’s comments as “disrespect” and “hurting people” while simultaneously stressing that this topic is “important”, he allows Gentarou the right to feel upset at Hifumi’s comments. He also continues to use defensive posture in order to keep Gentarou physically safe (which must be an intentional choice on the artist’s part, as Hifumi mirrors this pose a few pages later as he begins to defend Doppo). Even though Dice’s reaction crosses the line when he, in turn, begins to hurt someone else, removing Gentarou from the situation, validating his feelings, and making Hifumi stop is exactly what Gentarou needed but was unable to provide for himself.

Dice is a damn good friend and an exceptional person. If you ever find a friend like Dice, don’t let them get away from you.

Saving Ramuda’s Life

Let’s switch gears for a moment to take a look at what goes on in Ramuda’s mind. As a disposable pawn for the Party of Words, Ramuda has an atypical view of the world. He genuinely enjoys the company of others and can form real bonds, but his primary motivation in life is fully self-centered: keep himself alive. Every order he receives comes with the caveat of, “Failure brings death.” The fear of death is enough to drive him to betray his closest friends in TDD, even Jakurai, who clearly means a lot to him.

^ TDD chapter 13. Ramuda receives an order from Ichijiku to handle the Jakurai side of things in the TDD breakup and reflects on the time that Jakurai saw who his true personality and not only accepted it but welcomed it.

Bear with me if you’ve seen me talk about this before, but Ramuda’s ability to feel emotions is considered a fluke. Ichijiku describes it as a “malfunction” and a “nuisance” for his job. She also describes Ramuda himself as a “failure” and “worthless”, sometimes to Ramuda’s face.

Ramuda internalizes this. Notice’s Ramuda’s reactions to slipping up and having an emotional outburst in TDD chapter 9 and FP/M chapter 8.

The former of these features Ramuda looking frightened (either due to concern of losing his life for revealing more than he should have done or fear that Jakurai will consider him as “worthless” as everyone else does), insulting himself, and self-harming. While the insults and self-harm are as stereotypically cute as the rest of Ramuda’s facade, the core idea remains that he believes showing his true personality is as idiotic and worth of punishment as everyone else believes. The lack of self-worth is ingrained in him.

The slightly more grown-up Ramuda in FP/M does not react as dramatically, but I really want to draw your attention to the question, “Was I spooky?” It’s worded in a deliberately silly manner because of Ramuda’s speech style, but he is asking his supposed friends if the real version of himself is frightening. Tell me, Dice. Does seeing me scare you? Do you want to run away now before it’s too late? It’s an innocent question on the surface level, but considering the about face his last friend turned after learning more about Ramuda’s real life and job, this question demonstrates that Ramuda’s view of himself has hardly changed for the positive since then.

(Also please observe Dice’s reaction. The pause is him getting into character in order to cheer up Ramuda after a clear emotional upset.)

Therefore Ramuda is a person running entirely on self-preservation but with no sense of self-worth. He sees himself largely the same way Chuuouku does and expects everyone else to do the same. This greatly limits his worldview and prevents him from considering possible other options besides, “Do or die”.

If most of the other cast members found themselves in Ramuda’s shoes, they would have the knowledge and ability to consider other options such as running away, asking for help, or fighting back. Yet Ramuda never considers any of these. He does not have the life experiences the other cast members have to consider making any of these options. He has never observed them or had an outside source present them as options to him. Once the order comes down the pipeline from Ichijiku, it is set in stone. He can hate the order - take a look at another illustration from TDD chapter 13 - but he considers its execution inevitable.

This is why the order to hypnotize Jakurai in FP/M chapter 11 hits him so hard. Now “do or die” has become “die or die”, and his only decision comes down to the nature of his death.

Yes, this situation could have been avoided by talking to Jakurai. Jakurai gives him multiple opportunities to speak up before and during the battle, but Ramuda doesn’t have the ability to recognize those as options for help. In Ramuda’s book, people don’t help him. “Help” doesn’t exist.

In fact, the entire TDD situation could have been avoided as well if Ramuda had trusted his friends, spoken up, and explained the situation. Jakurai (not to mention Ichirou and Samatoki after a fashion) would almost certainly have helped, and that seems to be what Jakurai was waiting for. Once he pushed Ramuda too hard by accident and caused an outburst, he stepped back and waited for Ramuda to come forward on his own terms. But that’s utterly foolish, because Ramuda doesn’t operate on his own terms either. Ramuda doesn’t have his own terms. He lives and thinks the way the Party of Words wants him to think, and if the Party of Words does not want him to speak up and ask for help, then he will never, ever be able to.

The beauty is that Dice is not Jakurai. As mentioned above, Dice minds his own business up until the point a friend of his is over their head, and it’s when Ramuda starts to pull out the True Hypnosis Mic in order to kill himself for Chuuouku that Dice finally acts.

As is the case with Gentarou up above, Dice acknowledges that he doesn’t fully understand the situation but offers physical reassurance, advice, and the implicit argument that Ramuda’s real strength is something of value. Dice writes the word “help” into Ramuda’s dictionary with genuine love and affection.

While Ramuda still can’t consider any option other than “do or die”, it is Dice and Gentarou’s intervention that imbues him with enough self-worth to even consider placing his own wants and needs above Chuuouku’s.

It is this that lays the groundwork for The Loneliness, Tears, and Hope of a Puppet and gives Ramuda the basic agency to even consider acting for himself and, contrarily, acting in line with consideration for other people. It’s this that allows him to avoid ruining Jakurai’s life a second time and this that allows him to accept Gentarou and Dice’s promise of friendship. In the drama track itself, once again it is Dice and Gentarou intervening and challenging Ramuda’s preconceived notions in order to save his life.

Gentarou absolutely plays a vital role in this as well, but it is Dice that chooses to make the first move. Had he not said anything, Ramuda would have used the True Hypnosis Mic and died onstage in front of the audience.

It is sometimes the tiniest of actions and the smallest pieces of support that make all the difference. Sometimes all it takes is someone being unafraid to reach out and flip a die over so it lands on a different number.

Samatoki/Ramuda/Ichiro React to Pick-up Lines

Hello lovely people! This is a commission I made for @iloveuro-san-blog <3 

Thanks for your support!

--

Samatoki

Samatoki didn’t know how to respond the moment the pickup line left your lips. He smiled at first, then tried to suppress it, but then he failed. It looked more like a grimace if anything. He was trying so hard to keep his hard facade, but honestly he was one song away from humming the tune and one inch away from wrapping an arm around your shoulders.

“You okay?” You asked cautiously. “Did you pull something?”

“Um.” He looked at you. “Haha.” He managed. “What was that?” He felt his cheeks heat up but did his best to ignore it, even though it kept growing.

The two of you were seated on the couch in the warehouse, watching a movie when you simply said: “You’d make a great troy bolton. And I’d be your Gabriella.” (Yes, you convinced Samatoki to watch High School Musical with you. It involved a bet of some sort and you won it.)

“It was a compliment!” You blushed, turning back to the screen.

“Y/N.” He said and you looked at him, and you were shocked by the unreadable expression he had on his face.

“I—.” He made a motion with his hand, but aborted it. “I…” Samatoki really had no idea what to say.

You blushed, and realized you were looking into his eyes for too long. “Movie’s great.”

“Not as great as you though.” Samatoki muttered. Then his eyes widened when he realized what he said. “I mean…” He tensed up. “You… well… you are, great.” He looked down and sunk deeper into his hoodie.

“What?”

“Fuck you.” He said louder, the blush apparent on his cheekbones. “Go back to watching, idiot.”

You leaned your head on his shoulder, smiling to yourself. “I’m glad we’re watching this together.”

Samatoki scooted closer, tension fading from his shoulders. “I am too.”

OTHER REACTIONS:

“Well I like you too!”

Then it just

You know

Everything breaks and he’s like a soft mess

Or he goes like: well what was that? stupid?

Then you get hurt then he goes like: gah no I like you you fucking IDIOT!”

—

Ichiro

Ichiro stood there soaking wet, him falling for the simple bucket on the doorframe prank. He was smiling at you and laughing, admitting that you got him.

However, the prank backfired on you because Ichiro naturally had to be wearing the thin white t-shirt. And naturally his abs had to stand out. You started blushing furiously.

And of course Ichiro noticed this. He smiled at you. “Do you want a hug?”

You weren’t exactly dating him, but you weren’t exactly not dating him. It was weird, but there was definitely something in between you two. The fact that you stared at Ichiro’s abs is definitely a sign that you didn’t just see him as a friend.

“No!” You backed up, picking up the bucket. “Don’t you dare—“

“Come here!”

“No!” You screamed and you started running away from him. The apartment was small, but the two of you managed to obstacle race around it. Ichiro even went as far as to do flips in between the love seat and the couches. The most you could do was jump haphazardly.

The two of you were laughing, eventually ending up in the bedroom, you jumping on the bed and standing, Ichiro doing the same.

You brandished your bucket. “You can’t get me, Ichiro!”

He smiled. “Try me!” And quicker than you could react, he grabbed your bucket and pulled it away from you.

“Nononono!” You managed right before Ichiro crashed into you and tackled you on the bed, giving you the biggest, wettest hug. “Get off me!!!” Ichiro started tickling you and you cried out. “St-o-o-o-op!!!” You said in between laughs, Ichiro only laughing in response.

You managed to roll the two of you over and pinned him on the bed. He laughed, but then the two of you quickly realized in what position the two of you were in.

The laughs quickly died into silence, and Ichiro reached up to tuck a lock of hair behind your ear. “Gotcha.” He said softly.

“Got me.” You replied, a soft smile on your face.

OTHER REACTIONS

Tbh I honestly think this is perfect for Ichiro haHAHAHA

But I feel like he’d be the type to confess his feelings properly and make you smile while he says it

Ramuda

Ramuda wasn’t expecting a pickup line from you, however, he knew just how to respond to it. Ramuda immediately hugged you. “Oh! You cutie.”

Your eyes widened. “I—“

Ramuda laughed and held your hand. “Your shirt is indeed made up of partner material.” He then kissed your hand. “How did you know?”

There was this thing between you two, but only now was Ramuda taking seriously… or maybe he was playing with you.

Ramuda smiled and giggled. “I like you!” He said and hugged you again. “Wanna get some ice cream? Though I’m sure it won’t taste as good as you!”

“I—“ “You’re definitely the dessert to make me finish my meal.”

“I—“ Ramuda pulled you along, rattling off pickup lines like there was no tomorrow.

“Oh.” He paused. “I forgot where the ice cream place is. I’m lost.” He looked at you with big eyes. “Can you show me the way to your heart?”

“R-Ramuda!” You managed, blushing furiously, though enjoying him holding your hand.

Ramuda laughed. “Let’s go! I’ll feed you something creamy!”

“RAMUDA!”

He only smiled at you and continued to pull you, as if starting on an adventure.

OTHER REACTIONS:

Doesn’t respond and just takes you somewhere

Is the type to go like: aren’t we a thing?

Or he claps back immediately and makes it super smooth because its ramada

And he’s having so much fun with you and stuff

Saburo

Saburo blushed and his mind went blank. For all his intelligence, he couldn’t come up with a retort. “I—“ He blushed even harder. “I— thank you.” He paused. “Um…”

You didn’t think about what you were saying at the time, the “did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” just popped out. You were blushing as hard, if not harder, than Saburo.

“I…” Saburo put his hands in his pockets. “Are you from Tennessee?” He mumbled

You were taken aback. “What? No, I’m from Japan—“

“Because you’re the only ten I see!” Saburo blurted out.

The two of you both stared at each other, neither of you processing anything.

“I’m sorry!” Saburo put his hands in front of him. “Don’t hurt me!!!”

“Why will I hurt you?” Your eyes widened.

“My pickup line is so bad!!!” Saburo exclaimed. “I’m sorry!”

“Mine is bad as well!!!”

The two of you stood there awkwardly, but you noticed Saburo’s eyes get wider and you started laughing. “You’re so cute!” You managed and you fell to your knees laughing. The whole exchange was so dumb you could barely take it.

Saburo watched you with a surprised expression, his face red, only to get an even louder laugh from you. It wasn’t long though until Saburo started laughing as well. The way you were rolling around on the floor was too much for him. He lay down beside you on the floor, ignoring the stares from everyone else. The two of you stayed like that for a while until the laughter faded and you were sitting back to back to each other. Your hand found Saburo’s and held it. “I like laughing with you, Saburo.”

Saburo giggled and squeezed your hand. “I like laughing with you too, Y/N.”

OTHER REACTIONS:

It’s a permanent 404 error

Instead he just goes like: I like you too

And it just evolves into a cute baby confession and it’s wonderful

+BONUS Samatoki: surprise confessions

“I like you!”

Samatoki stopped rapping and the speakers just disappeared. He then walked towards you. “The fuck did you say?” He shouted from where he was.

“I said I like you, you dumb fuck! That’s why my attacks are so fucking weak towards you!” You yelled, putting a hand to your chest. “You and your stupid fucking hair and your stupid eyes and your eyebrows and your fucking CHEST FUCKING BUTTON IT UP!” You knew you were rambling but he was walking towards you and at this point there was no point stopping your confession.

He looked like he was going to punch you, with his fists balled like that.

“What are you gonna do about it huh?” You shouted at him, your rival turned crush. “What? Wanna kick my ass personally?” You didn’t care if the two of you were from separate divisions and would occasionally fight, you liked him and that was that.

Samatoki stopped right in front of you. He growled. “Say it again.”

You stepped closer so you were mere inches from his face, your emotions and adrenaline high from the battle the two of you just had. “I. Fucking. Like. You.”

The air was silent for a beat. “What?” You furrowed your brows and balled your fists. “The fuck are you gonna do?”

He then grabbed your shirt and pulled you in closer. “What I’m supposed to do.” He said lowly and kissed you.

You weren’t expecting that and you instantly melted into it. He pulled away after a few seconds. “I fucking like you too, dumbass.”

You kissed him again and you couldn’t imagine a better way to end the day.

Fem! Jakurai

A take on a female Jakurai in the world of Hypnosis Mic

"I don't know who you are, but thank you for rescuing us," Jakurai bowed, thanking their mysterious savior. Next to her, she hears Yotsutsuji's flustered thanks.

"T-thank you from me as well!"

"Haha! It was nothing! It's a pleasure to meetcha! ☆I'm Amemura Ramuda," the pink-haired boy cheerfully introduced himself, "And you're Jinguuji Jakurai and Yotsutsuji!"

"...How do you know our names?"

"Hmm~ How should I explain...? I'll tell you after you check on all those wounded folks! ☆"

Jakurai felt conflicted, on one hand, she definitely wanted to make sure none of them were seriously wounded, on the other, this Amemura Ramuda might actually prove to be dangerous to both her and Yotsutsuji. Taking a deep breath, she reasoned to herself that this wasn't the underworld, trust had to be given to be proved after all.

"May I ask you one thing, Amemura?"

"Whatcha got~?"

"...Will you teach me how to rap?"

"Sure thing! ☆ You're definitely going to be a great MC!"

"Aah.. but..."

"Hmm~?"

"Aren't MCs something that Chuouku assigned to men?"

"Ye~ah?"

"...Amemura, I'm a woman."

"...Eh?"

When she was in middle school, her school had sent her the wrong uniform, but she simply shrugged it off and requested for the right one.

When the military accidentally marked her off as the wrong gender, she simply sighed and had it fixed.

When the Party of Words took over the government, she took note of it and moved on, after all, it had nothing to do with her. So why exactly was she being pushed into all this Hypnosis Microphone nonsense? It was a men's only thing, wasn't it?!

Jakurai sighed, staring into the mirror as if it had all the answers to life.

Tall and slender (although leaning towards underweight), she felt that her body wasn't that bad. Cupping her breasts she wondered if maybe they were too small. Having a B cup wasn't too bad, Jakurai thought to herself.

Maybe it was because of her unnatural height, after all, how many other women could claim to be an amazing 195 cm?

Jakurai cursed her genetics once again for making her so tall and 'masculine.' When she had asked Ramuda to teach her how to rap, she hadn't thought too much of it, after all, hypnosis microphones were pretty common nowadays. It was always better to be safe then sorry.

Even when Ramuda knew of her past of being Ill-Doc, he somehow had still thought that she was a man. God, this was her curse in life, wasn't it? Cursed to be never be able to get a date and constantly be mistaken for a man.

"Sensei!"

"A-ah, I'll be out in a second, Ichiro!"

Curse Ramuda and his constant need for chaos. Curse Ichiro and his innocent puppy eyes that Jakurai refuses to admit to be weak to.

Sulking slightly, she started to put on one of the many dresses that Ramuda chose for her to try. Honestly, it wasn't a big deal that she rarely wore anything but her black turtleneck, jeans, and lab coat. They were comfortable and practical.

Of course, the others (*coughcough*Ramuda*coughcough*Ichiro*coughcough*) vehemently disagreed. Which then turned into a wardrobe overhaul and shopping trip in Shibuya of all things.

Resigning herself to playing dress-up doll for the next couple of hours, Jakurai stepped out of the dressing room.

"Ooh! Huh, I guess sensei really is a lady."

Jakurai felt the urge to slap someone over the head, namely Ichiro hard.

"...Excuse me."

Ichiro stuttered, backtracking and realizing what exactly he just said, "I- I mean, you usually don't, y'know, uhhh..."

As Ichiro descended into mumbles, Ramuda laughed, fully in his element of chaos and destruction.

At least one of us is having fun, Jakurai couldn't help but think uncharitably, feeling rather self-conscious. There was a good reason she rarely wore feminine clothing, and it wasn't just because it was difficult for her to find anything her size (though it played a large part of it.)

"It, uh, it looks good on you, sensei," she turns, startled, having forgotten about Samatoki.

He's blushing, which is, on one hand, is rather adorable, but on the other, she really hopes that he's blushing from embarrassment and not a crush.

"Thank you," Jakurai smiles slightly, wishing to be out of the dress and back into her usual outfit.

Was it too late to run away?

"So I guess we're a team."

"Yup~! ☆"

Jakurai tilted her head, a small smile on her lips. A team, huh. She supposed it was time to say goodbye to Kujaku Posse.

"It'll be us four against everyone else! We'll be the best!"

She listens to Ichiro's exuberant yelling and Samatoki's curses that follow soon after. Nearby, she watches Ramuda cheerfully egg on the two, mixing in his own brand of chaos and calamity into the fold.

Chuckling, a though pops into her head.

"We never did figure out if I was allowed to participate in the rap battles, did we, Ramuda?"

"No~pe!"

"Huh?"

"What are you talking about?"

Watching at the visible confusion on both Ichiro and Samatoki's faces, Jakurai sighed. Oh dear.

"I'm a woman, but the rap battles are a men's only event," she gently reminds the two, or rather inform them. Honestly, she might be extremely tall, but her voice and chest should've at least hinted that she wasn't a man.

Observing the startled faces of her new teammates, she wondered if she was going to have to wear a badge or something to indicate that, no, no she was not a man.

"EHHHHHH?!!"

If this was an indication of how this team was going to be, Jakurai thought to herself as Ramuda laughed himself silly, then God, please give me patience. A lot of patience.

"Ooh, is Jakurai going on a date? You look super pretty in that dress! ☆"

"Ah, well it's been a while," Jakurai hummed, "so I thought I'd put a little extra effort today."

Having styled her hair into a waterfall braid and applied a bit of makeup, Jakurai felt that she looked pretty good. Twirling around, she teasingly asked for Ramuda's approval.

"Definitely a ten out of ten~!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she spots Ichiro and Samatoki huddled together. Shaking her head, she laughs at Ramuda's praise and elects to ignore whatever Ichiro and Samatoki were planning. It probably wasn't going to be good for her stress levels anyways.

"Alright, I'm heading out now. Don't make a mess of my apartment, children," Jakurai calls out, receiving eye-rolls in return and mumbled promises of behaving.

Heading towards the cafe where her blind date was, Jakurai couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. They're all adults, or well at least close to adults, she reasoned to herself. They're not going to do something stupid she hoped.

"Hi, you're Jakurai, right?"

Startled, Jakurai flinched, not having realized that she had already reached her destination. Politely smiling, she nodded her head towards the man.

"I apologize for not paying attention," she began, "Jinguuji Jakurai. It's nice to meet you."

Settling down, Jakurai felt that her date was probably going to be okay. Neither of them really had anything in common, but he wasn't a bad conversationalist.

"- pretty cool person, Jakurai. But, wow, I really didn't expect you to look so much like a man."

What.

"-and if you wore makeup and got bigger breasts, you'd look really hot, like model-levels of hot, y'know like-"

Jakurai felt her hands twitch. God, this was why she almost never went on dates, especially blind dates. Doing her best to be as polite as possible, she tried to excuse herself.

"Excuse me, I-"

"Oi."

Turning her head, she came face-to-face with Samatoki. Wait. Why was Samatoki here? And with Ichiro and Ramuda too, to boot. How did they even know where she was?

"Hi, sensei!"

"Jakurai! What a cool coincidence to see you~! ☆"

"Samatoki! Ichiro! Ramuda! What are you-"

Behind them, she hears her date spluttering indignantly. Good.

"He~ey, Jakurai, I saw this super duper cool candy store a couple of streets down," Ramuda giggles, it's not a nice one, Jakurai notes, and the gleam in his eyes as he pulls her away from the table is downright vicious.

"H-huh? Ramuda!"

"We're off~! ☆ Ichiro, Samatoki, have fun!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"See you later, sensei!"

Hesitantly, she glanced at her date who was currently trembling and sweating in fear, and then towards the rest of the TDD. Shaking her head, she let herself be pulled by Ramuda.

I can take care of myself, she wants to say, why are trying to protect me, she wants to ask.

Instead, she tosses out a "don't hurt him too much" before walking next to Ramuda.

She hears the screams of terror behind her and a part of her wants to go back, wants to help even the ones who desire to hurt her.

"Ne, Jakurai, you doctors are always helping so many people," she hears Ramuda humming, "but, y'know, sometimes doctors should let others help them too~!"

"...pfft-!"

She's crouching, Jakurai realizes halfheartedly, and her vision is blurred.

"Haha, Ramuda, what are you even talking about," she laughs as tears obscure her sight, "I'm not a damsel in distress."

"Nope! But it's nice to see you as a lady sometimes. You're much better than this annoying onee-san that calls me all the time!"

"...Better enough that you don't have to pretend with me?"

"Hmm~ Who knows!"

She feels Ramuda's arms around her shoulders. It's a comforting feeling, and she can't help but feel guilty. For her to feel happy while having so many sins still weighing upon her shoulders.

She hears footsteps approaching them and looks up to see Samatoki and Ichiro. They're sweaty and out of breath, but the bloodthirsty grins and bright eyes tell her everything she needs to know.

"Sensei!"

Around her are the TDD, and she can't help but feel content and happy. The dark feelings of self-doubt are clawing at her again. Was she allowed to be happy? After causing so much death, so much pain, was it okay for her to-

No.

Jakurai forces those feeling down, forces them into a box for now. Right now, she basks in the warmth that the others provide.

She can't help but love Ramuda, can't help but love Samatoki, can't help but love Ichiro. They're her precious boys, her friends.

It's a nice feeling.

Very few good things last, and the TDD ends up being one of the many that fail, and it h u r t s.

It's been several months since Yotsutsuji fell into a coma, several months since that fateful email.

Suddenly, Jakurai couldn't help but feel all her thirty-something years weighing down on her shoulders. God, she was getting old.

I guess, she bitterly thinks, I was simply the fool for believing that we would last.

Nothing ever lasted. Not family. Not Hitoya. Not even the TDD.

Pulling herself together, she prepared to close her clinic for the night. It was getting late after all.

Knock. Knock.

Who-?

"Samatoki?"

"Hey, sorry to bother," she watches Samatoki stumble into her clinic, his shirt red with blood.

Body on autopilot, she tends to his injuries. The silence between them is oppressing. What was there to say, she wondered, but a small part of her was glad that even though they've all gone their separate ways, Samatoki still trusts her to treat his injuries.

"...Thanks."

She smiles, it's not quite as warm and as fond as it used to be, but she manages. She asks how he's doing, how Nemu is, asks him to take care, to not aggravate his injuries.

Samatoki grunts and shrugs off her questions, is ready to leave before she hears a soft, "Do you regret it?"

I don't know, she thinks; yes, she wants to say.

Instead, she tells a half-truth, half-lie.

"No, our time in the TDD means a lot to me, but I believe it is time for us to move on."

She sees the hurt that roles off of Samatoki in waves, sees how badly the younger man is taking the separation and a large part of her wants to hug him, to tell him that everything will be okay even if she doesn't believe it.

When he leaves, Jakurai can't help but think of Yotsutsuji and his discovery that made Ramuda want him dead, can't help but think of Ichiro and his resolve to raise his siblings himself, can't help but think of Ramuda and what they had.

Can't help but think of what-ifs.

In another life, would things have turned out differently?

[astro-break]

Thoughts on the 12th ep of Hypmic Rhyme Anima. Spoilers beware

Ep.1 | Ep.2 | Ep.3 | Ep.4 & 5 | Ep. 6 | Ep. 7 | Ep. 8 | Ep. 9 | Ep. 10 | Ep. 11

I am the definition of Fear.jpg rn please help

MTR are so cute, just celebrating their win. Look at how happy they are!

... Oh well thats new. I like how Ichijauku has a tiny bit more agency in throwing out ideas (it really shows how close her and otome trust each other) but it also completely retcons a part of hypmic lore that was established with the Drama tracks. If you’ve heard “” then you know what I’m talking about

SMILING DOPPO HOLY SHIT DOPPO

ahaha doppo i love you so much youre so adorable you deserve to be happy

MTR as a family is just soo good. Both as familial or 

Hmm.... yes Samatoki has the right to be angry but that flattens him to a good for nothing thinks first asks questions later type of thug which is absolutely not what his character is. Especially with how the anime portrays him, it seems like there's only one emotion that he feels at any moment and that is anger. Which, fair he is an angry boy, but thats just one facet of his character. He’s also logical and not that sore of a loser, seeing that he still has room to grow (if you want an anime example, refer to the previous episode where he genuinely wonders what he could have done to treat Nemu better)

I think my biggest gripe with the adaptation is the flattening of all the characters TBH. I only really see it in Samatoki since I understand his character the most but I also see hints of it with Rio, Hifumi, and Gentaro. Most of the characters are just flattened into 2D tropes and made to act those tropes out. Which, y’know is the basis of each character but the series has built upon each character so well that its kinda jarring seeing them all so flat

I’m not sayin that I hate what the Anime has done with MTC but I hate what the anime has done with MTC

I expected a “Brocon” “Siscon” fight not this. What the fuck

☆ミ＋。゜H A C K I N G ゜。＋ミ☆

ahaha Ichiro you’re too trusting and pure for your own good

Okay why does all the animation budget go to making Samatoki look hot as fuck?

Ahaha they really do get along like cats and dogs. Jyuto being the voice of reason is kinda weird tho but oh well I can live with it

Tom saying “hai warat~e!” is so cute wtf?????? Lemme pet your head please

GENTARO PICKING UP HIS HAKAMA TO RUN IS ADOARBLE HELP ME

Im getting second hand embarrassment from Ramuda lmao

Slightly suspicious about how these group of reporters know the underground layout of Chuuoku so well

Oh well see I was right to be suspicious

That Unit name is really funny considering the whole Galatic Federation thing ahahaha

Oh that english! that was super clean and enunciated really well

Good intentions, bad execution. His reasoning is a bit flawed but its at least sound

hmmm usually I’d be happy about Doppo giving Hifumi his jacket but in this context not so much. See, Doppo gave it to Hifumi mostly because they had to fight, not because there were woman (which let me remind you Hifumi is deathly afraid of and the jacket acts as a wall between him and his gynophobia)

...... uh Interesting choices of microphones for Secret Aliens. Tom’s is a recording studio mic which makes some??? but not much sense. like Tom is a street photographer, not a radio host. Iris’s mic is.... I’m sorry what is that? Some sort of keyboard and.... something. idk what it is on her finger. And T. Rex just ripped out a purple dinosaur spine, stuck a mic onto the neck and called it a day. Nice

At least their speakers are somewhat better. Iris has Iris plants which. hilarious, but also very modern looking and sleek fitting of her more tech savvy nature as a hacker Theres also phone cameras which makes sense but the butterfly imagery which is present .... Fear.jpg. Rex again just went with a T. Rex Speaker which. Thank you rex for being very predictable, we love you so much. That soundwave looks like DNA too which is cool as hell. Tom.... Idk man Tom are you okay? What exactly is your speaker? are they those aperture umbrella things that photographers use? Im so confused, photographers in the fandom please help

YOOOOOOOOO THAT RAP THOUGH IRIS SOUNDS SO PRETTY?!?!?!? Can she please sing me to sleep? its so smooth and rolling. If I had to describe it, I would say that its the type of voice that I would hope would sing the ballads that I compose, the voice of a mother who still holds on to something after loosing everything she has fought for. 

Too bad Iris doesn’t get a verse to Rap in but holy shit what? Secret Aliens just might become one of my fave divisions based off song alone

Ah theres the cancellers. Thats fun, nice to see that there isn’t an adaptation induced plot hole in this One instance. Lets see if they can patch up the other plot holes created because the anime and source material went into different places

Dice, bad. no cheating. Bad dice

Ahaha there the flash bomb. That high pitch wailing was awful though. please never do that again

Hah, typical Ichijaku. We love it

Oh look at them. Working together. How cute. I really like Rio and Saburo interactions mostly because theres so much potential

Oh noooo i worry for FP

That growl from Ichijaku though. That did things to my heart oh my god

Aww I do like that enthusiasm from Ramuda. I do hope that things turn out at least somewhat okay for him. He’ll probably suffer 

Wait why is Saburo’s left eye purple? Is it the lighting or something else? I hope its just the lighting bc if anything happens to Saburo i will be very very sad (I rewatched the episode and Saburo’s eye is blue all the way up till he gets hit by Secret Alien’s attack. Even in a brightly lit area, it looks purple... i hope it isn’t forshadowing but then again Saburo’s eye has always been a darker shade of blue so it could just be the yellowish lighting since Ichiro’s red eye looks fuchsia)

Ichijaku with an angry face is kinda hot ahaha. Her deep rolling voice of anger just. Ugh very very good. Major props to her VA for pulling it off

IM FUCKING SORRY WHAT

YOU CAN”T LEAVE US ON THAT CLIFF HANGER?!

WHAT THE FUCK

IM GOING TO GO INSANE

THAT WASN’T EVEN SATISFYING?!?!?!

WHAT THE FUCK

KING RECORDS E X P L A I N

I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION

oh there’s a 13th ep

well thank fuck for a 13th ep bc if they ended the season like that i think id actually cry lol

Ugh so I guess that next week will be the last episode. I was so prepared for today to be the last episode but its kinda surprising that they have 13, slightly different from the normal season

[ethereal-galaxies]

@magical-lollipops​

Ramuda took in a deep breath before he answered, simply nodding in response to the question. "Yay! We're gonna be roommates now! Hehehe~!" He thought about the gambling issue... Here in Yokohama where yakuza territory was prevalent, most gambling here would be illegal instead of the pachinko parlors like in Shibuya. He got out his phone and texted Samatoki. 'Hi hi, Samatoki-sama~! ✩ Think you can swing by? I'm at the Bay Sheraton hotel! Room 217! I can't call right now but it's kinda suuuupppeer important, kay? So get here as soon as you can! See ya soon~! ✩' He sent the text and slid it back in his pocket.

Gentaro's next question made him pause and take a step back. Could he really... answer that? ... "Hm hm hm~ I... dunno how to answer that right now but I will later! Promise~! Is that okay?" he responded, his expression slightly worried.

"Oh? You know that guy? Isn't he part of Mad Trigger Crew? I gotta know what happened, tell me, please please please?"

Samatoki heard his phone go off and groaned. He was relaxing against his desk, legs up on it and crossed at the ankles, arms behind his head as he leaned back slightly in his chair. He had a cigarette sticking out of his mouth. With a sigh, he sat proper, and took a rather long drag off the Lucky Strike in his mouth. He let the smoke out through his nose as he checked the text message. Wait, Ramuda? He read over it, then again. Why was he being so secretive? Was he in trouble? Usually that bastard would have just called. So then why not now? Hm. He'd have to take a cab over there. But now he was worried. Not that he'd let anyone know. He didn't show it on his face or in his shoulder set at all.

"Keep an eye on th' place for me. I'm headin' out for a bit. Anything goes wrong, call me," he voiced to one of the kyodai that were near his office. He locked the door and headed out, calling up a taxi. Once where he needed to be, he headed to the second floor, his hands in the pockets of his antique jeans, wondering just what was up.

Ramuda seemed to be bringing back his almost forced cheery personality again, but perhaps it was to ensure panic didn’t ensue. Gentaro sighed. “Iruma Jyuto, of Mad Trigger Crew, yes... Well, I... I’m not sure he’ll actually even help out considering what happened was I blackmailed him into helping with something before...” 

The novelist looked up to the ceiling now and picked up his tea. He brought it to his lips and took another sip of it. His casualness almost suggested that it wasn’t too much of a big deal. Though admitting it was nothing compared to the secrets that had just been revealed. No. He didn’t need to keep dwelling on that. Dwelling on it wouldn’t help any of them move forward now. It is as it is and they just had to focus what to do now. He didn’t want to impose Ramuda much further, so Gentaro didn’t ask who Ramuda was texting. It was possible he too was trying to plan their next move. 

[courage-a-word-of-justice]

Moriarty 5 - 7 | HypMic 10 - 11

Moriarty 5

Saito’s Moriarty and Gentaro voices are quite similar, now that I compare them.

“…he’s a good egg at heart.” – LOL, never thought I’d be reading subtitles that said that.

Oh, so that was Frida on the bridge?

I wonder, is Moriarty like Bon and nursing a weak leg with that cane? Or is the cane just a symbol of nobility?

Moriarty 6

The Titanic? Wasn’t there a Black Butler arc based on it?

LOL, these people in the foreground are CGI.

…is that the grapefruit guy? (Beats me, I haven’t watched this in weeks and am only returning to it because Scott keeps mentioning spoilers. The only thing I’m keeping up with properly is HypMic and my Kanon watch with #AniTwitWatches…and soon I’ll add the final episodes of Sailor Moon to it.)

Found him! Sherlock Holmes! I sort of triangulated from buzz around me that he appears in this episode.

What’s with the skull ring Holmes wears?

…ah, the golden ratio!

…Oh, this is gonna get interesting! You can tell this Holmes is adept in fighting due to his build, but…how did Moriarty figure out Holmes played the violin? Calluses on his hands?

Is this Holmes a womaniser…? I thought the guy was often characterised as an asexual, or at the very least aromantic. That’s part of what makes the guy so intriguing to me - because he still has Irene.

A colliery is a coal mine. It’s been a while since I heard that word.

Moriarty 7

The anime’s sense of colour is probably one of the most striking parts of this. Not just red, but blue and green where it counts too.

Not a fan of the 1st person cam…

That knife came out pretty clean for something so blood-stained.

I wanted to say “’Right,’ said Fred”…but Fred didn’t talk, so I can’t do that. (Dangit!)

I somehow found it slightly funny that France was ahead of Britain (America?) in forensic pathology, although I dunno what made it funny exactly.

I squealed (…just a little bit) when the iconic quote came up: “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” I have it memorised from my Detective Conan days still, see?

Next time: A Study in S (according to stuff I read, the S stands for Sherlock this time).

HypMic 10

…I can’t believe it’s almost over already. I’ve basically been in a dream this entire season…but then what happens once the anime is over…? Waiting for the 2nd DRB to happen, I guess.

I didn’t even realise, but Jiro’s varsity jacket has an owl on the bottom of the logo.

…”[H]it the head”? Wassat mean? *checks up* Oh, so it means to go to the bathroom…Right. It’s US slang, which might explain a thing.

Notice Ramuda uses “Jakurai” and not “jijii” or something like that during his time with Ichijiku. Also, there’s a lot of his deep voice going around…

You can see MTR on the poster behind Ramuda at one point.

*anguished noises* Ramuda!!! Please don’t do this!!!

LOL, Sadamezuka and Kazuha.

Is “bum-rush” even an appropriate word for this situation…? US slang is weird…

…Doppo’s performance almost seems like a Rosho foreshadowing. Also, I love how Doppo’s screens disappear with his motivation.

…I saw a spoiler today on Twitter regarding Dice and meat…now I get it.

“detarame” – I know this word means “nonsense”, but for some reason I memorised it as meaning “s***” at one point due to the context of Scenario Liar. I find it interesting Hifumi used a word from Scenario Liar in the first place, even though it’s not necessarily meant to be taken in that context.

“the King of Normies” – For some reason, that made me laugh pretty hard. That is an accurate translation of “riajyuu no ousama” though.

Gentaro’s smile puts a smile on my face as well.

“colours you’ve dyed” – Note Shibuya is constantly referred to by colours, including how PCCS (in the Shibuya 1st DRB team song) apparently means “practical colour coordinate system”.

I find it interesting that Saburo was the one who mentioned holding hands as a sign of camaraderie first in the anime and then the Funi translation makes Ramuda use the same symbolism here. It may have been unintentional, though.

…the subbers keep using “OMG” and I’m like ????. Is OMG outdated slang in 2020?

…wow, that holy imagery…they really went all-in on Jakurai’s godliness there.

…even when knocked down, Jakurai’s hair is still 100% gorgeous.

I noticed one of the lyrics the translators cut out of Doppo’s rap was “borderline”.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! This anime just kicked me where it hurts! (<- As in, it used the trope I love so much – where the underdog causes a sudden turn-around in the battle and they’re not even aware of it!) This is why I love you, Doppo!

LOL, FP spent their countdown gossiping. That’s such a FP thing to do.

Hifumi seems to carry the beat in MTR’s Kizuna. Jakurai gets drowned out quite a bit, although Riou (who has a similar voice) was less drowned out.

“No pain, no gain.” – That’s a good saying.

HypMic 11

2 episodes until the end! (Yikes!)

I still take some issue with subbing the laughing. Well, then again I’ve been half-deaf lately with my ears being clogged (accidentally clogged my ear up again…), so I guess I shouldn’t complain.

If I’m hearing it right, Ramuda goes “nee-san” and not particularly anything to do with “Beauties” or “Beasts”, which seems to be exclusive to the subs.

Stone guardian? I guess this has to do with jizo in Japanese. Hifumi does go “namu” (short for “namu amida butsu”) towards Doppo at the end there.

That bed is…why is it so empty if it’s meant to be the room someone’s staying in?

Is Jyuto’s hair black or brown? I’ve been colouring it a deep brown because I think that looks nice, but it might actually be black…

I have a newfound respect for Komada ever since I found out his birthday is [secret censored – maybe if you follow the hints I leave behind, you might find out what I mean].

LOL, I spotted the fire extinguisher in one corner and was immediately reminded of how someone once translated “fire extinguisher” to “hand grenade”.

…how does Jakurai’s hair work from the back? There’s this coil of hair that seems to go places it shouldn’t be…

For some reason, the subbers keep translating “sensei” as “the good doctor”…or is that the first and only time it happened?

I think it’s appropriate they discuss bonds on the day Kizuna (the ED) goes out on streaming.

…*thinks about 2nd DRB, where BB vs. DH is going to happen next month* …Yeah, you better pay attention or your daddy’s gonna come spank you boys.

Jakurai summoning his mic is always freakin’ cool. Aspire to be like this elegant man.

The wolf hand sign again.

There’s a pun between kizukizu (wounds) and kizuna (bonds). Update: The phrase is actually gisugisusa (stiffness, unsociability, coldness [of atmosphere] etc.), but...there’s the same rhyming scheme, so it’s not wrong.

Doppo’s bit about Jakurai(-sensei) being a kasugai (hemostat) is, surprisingly, quite faithful, as you can tell from how those words rhyme. Hifumi’s verse mentions a monkey wrench, though.

…kasumitai ore ga yoi… - that translates to “…[Jakurai is] better than us, who are like scum…” It’s a very Doppo sort of line, noting that kasu literally means “residue”.

I didn’t realise this until now, but Riou has a piercing in one ear (his right). It’s just in an unconventional place in the upper curve, so I never spotted it.

Samatoki’s death aesthetic really contrasts against Jakurai’s healing one. I can see why people really liked the MTC vs. MTR fight now.

It seems the strategy to win in this series is to keep spamming your attacks. It seems hugely suitable for my pseudo-Pokemon AU, which emphasises attack over defence.

Oh! I never noticed the blue gem on Jakurai’s mic!

Note how Samatoki said “lightning rod” – Jakurai’s name means “lonely thunder”. It’s one reason why I fell head over heels for the guy – his stupidly awesome name.

“horse/rabbit/bush warbler” – These refer to MTC. Samatoki, Jyuto, Riou. On that note, ARB currently has an event where Ramuda hangs out with MTC and he calls Jyuto “usa-chan” as a pun. I find that so darn cute!

“And the winner is…Matenro!” - *cue the song, The Champion*

Notice how they put BB and FP before MTC and MTR in the ED…it’s foreshadowing!

[hypmic-gay-imagines]

DiceGen (sfw; fluff)

this wasn't requested either but my blog isn't gonna get anywhere if i don't have any content lol

sorry for not including Dotsuitare Honpo and Bad Ass Temple, i was lazy and kind of paranoid i'd write ooc

this is a little off-topic, but i hope this is nice

extra tags: laser tag

❝ɪ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛᴇʀ.❞

It had taken a month, but somehow or the other, Ramuda had managed to rope all the divisions into his ridiculous plan of playing laser tag. The other two members of Fling Posse were certain that blackmail and pestering them to death was involved.

That was how they had reached this point, a lot of awkward tension in the air as the four divisions eyed each other suspiciously.

Luckily, Ramuda broke the ice, cheering, "Stop it, we all agreed to leave our hypnosis mics at home. We're all here to kick each others' butts at this!"

That probably just threw a lit match into a swimming pool of gasoline, because instantly, Samatoki and Ichiro glared at each other, silently challenging each other.

Hifumi, Rio, Jiro and Dice were probably the only ones who looked excited about this. Everyone else honestly looked like they wanted to kill themselves as Ramuda dragged Jakurai and Gentaro — the others were thankful Ramuda only had two hands — into the 'arena', the staff handing them each laser guns, although neither division wanted to lose.

"Let's play the first round with teams!" the little pink gremlin suggested, and because almost everyone was so done with Ramuda, they didn't even bother arguing back as they split up to scatter around the arena according to their divisions.

When the buzzer to start shooting each other commenced, the very first thing that happened was screaming from Matenro's side, coming from Hifumi, who was desperately trying to stop Doppo from shooting himself out.

From there, total chaos ensued as an incredibly over-the-top and dramatic laser tag battle broke out.

Ultimately, the winner was MTC, with Juto and Rio — Samatoki had been taken out by Ichiro, although he was still boasting about his division's victory.

"This is unfair! There is literally an ex-soldier, a cop, and a yakuza on that team! Rematch but every man for himself!" Ramuda demanded childishly, and nobody refused; maybe it was because Ramuda's blackmail was heavy.

Hence, they registered and Ramuda paid for another round.

This round was even worse than the previous, being a lot more chaotic, curse words and screaming filling the entire area.

After about half an hour, two people were left — Dice and Gentaro.

In the waiting room with several monitor screens that displayed live footage for the eliminated players to watch, there was a lot bickering, and few actually bothered to watch.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Gentaro was using one of the obstacles as a shield and cover to hide behind, looking at Dice, preparing to shoot. Normally, he wouldn't bother and would just let Dice win, but he made it this far, why not just win the whole thing? However, his eyes widened when he blinked and Dice was no longer there.

"Boo." Gentaro heard a low whisper into his ear, warm breath tickling him, and he jumped, head whipping behind him to see a smirking Dice.

Gentaro immediately pointed the laser gun at Dice's vest, but the latter grabbed Gentaro's wrists with one hand and pressed him against the wall, to the author's surprise, and he struggled against his grip, although he tried to keep his normal, cool composure.

"Dice, are you insane? What are you thinking—"

Gentaro's eyes as Dice connected their lips, his eyes closing. Gentaro felt his own eyes close and his lips move against Dice's to return the passion, his body moving of its own accord.

Gentaro felt Dice smirk into the kiss; before a laser sound and a loud buzz rang out around the arena, Dice pulling away as a computerized voice announced, "Player 7, victory."

Gentaro glanced down to see Dice's laser gun pointed at his vest, and he looked up at Dice, appalled as he fought down the blush those rose to his cheeks. "I can't believe you kissed me just to win. That was such a dirty trick, Dice."

"But you did enjoy it, didn't you, Gen?" Dice chuckled, and Gentaro opened his mouth to protest, but one of the staff came to shoo them out for the next group of people to play.

Unbeknownst to them, Hifumi had gathered everyone's attention to the monitors from the moment Dice had Gentaro pinned, and when the two walked in, Dice blinked, asking, "Why are you guys looking at us funny?"

Gentaro spotted the monitors, and the pink hue returned to his cheeks when he realized that everyone in that room probably saw that kiss.

Now that the game was over, everyone else didn't really see a reason to stay, and leaving Dice's question unanswered, they each left with either a short goodbye or saying nothing at all.

Fling Posse was the last to leave, walking back and making idle chat, and once they reached Shibuya, Ramuda suddenly spoke, "Hey, I got something to do, so if you need to crash somewhere, go to Gentaro's, 'kay? Just for tonight." The gremlin spoke, before running off to god knows where as Dice and Gentaro were left standing there awkwardly.

"Um... Are you coming?" Gentaro questioned, clearing his throat softly as he turned in the direction of the street that would lead to his apartment building and beginning to walk.

"Yeah." Dice nodded, jogging to catch up with the author and slowing down once he had.

"So... Are we gonna talk about that?" Dice asked after a moment of awkward silence.

"About what?" Gentaro asked, just to humor Dice.

"The... y'know, kiss."

"That was something you initiated." Gentaro spoke as they arrived, and he fumbled for the key, unlocking his door and pushing it open, entering and taking his shoes off as he did so, Dice following suit, locking and closing the door behind him.

"But you kissed me back."

Gentaro froze, and he turned to Dice, and for once, his expression seemed completely serious, as did his tone.

"Let me ask you, was that kiss just something for you to win, or did you kiss me because you like me?"

Dice stepped closer to Gentaro, grabbing one of his wrists and tugging, causing the author to stumble forward into his chest, and Dice's other arm wrapped around Gentaro.

Gentaro's cheeks flushed as an expression of shock and speechlessness crossed his features and stuck there and he stuttered out, "D-Dice! What are you doing?!"

It was like a scene out of a shoujo manga, so cliche, but Gentaro supposed he couldn't fault those empty-headed girls for acting that way if a grown man such as himself was that flustered, but he couldn't help it.

Dice was attractive. He was hot. He was cute. He was dumb, but that was incredibly endearing.

Oh, no.

Gentaro was in love with Dice.

Somewhere, Gentaro was sure he could hear Ramuda screaming, "Congrats, you are like, the second last to know!"

"Both," the gambler shrugged, responding to Gentaro's initial question, "I love you, Gen."

Swallowing his pride, making sure he didn't start lying out of embarrassment, Gentaro spoke the truth.

"... I love you too, Dice."

"Not a lie?" Dice's eyes held hope within them.

"Not a lie." Gentaro smiled and confirmed.

Chuckling, Dice pressed a kiss to the author's lips, and it was gentle and sweet.

[akkivee]

aaaaaaaaaaaand bam!!!!!!! here it is the final day!!!!!!!!!!! day 18!!!!!!!!! it’s time to break the wall y’all and wrap this up!!!! can you feel it??? i can feel it!!!!

First impressions: me: *looking at the newsletter from a jp anime goods site*

me: *sees ichiro for the very first time unknowing that this was the start* oh that’s a cute piece of merch!!!!! who’s the guy on it i wonder???? 😲

Current impressions: does ichiro know that i would kill for him. it is important for me to know that ichiro knows i will do anything for him—

man, ichiro randomly popped into my life when i needed him the most; i was really tired from the the previous couple of fandoms i’d been in, looking for a new one unconsciously when he showed up in my email, hugging a cd and utterly adorable with his big heterochromatic eyes. i wish i had a pic of the merch on hand ‘cause it was love at first sight man 💕 and he continues to be an utter delight to know!!!!! he’s the 19 entrepreneur that everyone would be writing about due to his jaded past and how successful he’s gotten all due his hard work!!!!!!!!!! i definitely understand jiro and saburo’s hero worship over him!!!!

Favorite thing:

he’s just a really cool dude man. he’s incredibly levelheaded with an equal amount of brain smarts and street smarts. but that levelheadedness is something he’s working hard to maintain. his personality is closer to samatoki’s and he knows this and wants to be better than the man who let him down and to be a good role model for his brothers with it. he’s an head full thoughts many kinda character and it shows in pretty much everything he does

Least favorite:

his seiyuu is kinda wack lol sometimes it feels like ichiro is one of those bland characters that doesn’t do anything and the surrounding characters are all totes more interesting yet are, for some reason, super into this bland character. thank god this statement is a total disservice to ichiro’s character because he’s incredibly interesting, it’s just ichiro is currently in an ‘after story’ kind of arc in his life where everything is good (for now.) it just sometimes feels like he’s being left behind in the story 😕

What i want to see from this character:

what don’t i want to see??????????????? how is he going to react seeing his father again and on the same team as his old teammate, sasara??????????? does he really know he’s been alive all this time???????? if he has, how is he going to deal with how betrayed his brothers may feel????????????? apparently he and samatoki can make up now since he knows nemu is ‘missing’ and samatoki knows that ichiro has nothing to do with her leaving him but will it really be that easy????????? will he and kuukou make up and be aikata back at again, like how is he going to react seeing kuukou again?????????

Favorite moments:

hhhhhhhhhhhh okay i’m going all in.

it’s not really a favorite moment but something that strikes me as a hindsight is 20/20 kinda thing, but ichiro fully intended to leave his little brothers out of his team and the rap battles. in the very first buster bros drama track, he gave them an assignment each, fully expecting them to fail. it comes as a surprise to him that they got it done and done so well. now, he’s been fully supportive of having his brothers be his team but it’s terribly ironic for him to get so offended when anyone insults his brothers abilities when he was the first to have doubted them.

and say ichiro has known their father’s been alive all this time. rei honestly might as well had been good as dead to them with how absent he’s been in their lives. granted, it’s definitely not something that comes up in casual conversation but with jiro and saburo having to confront ichiro pretty much twice in the course of helter skelter, it really looks like ichiro just doesn’t have faith in his brothers to outsiders and that could really blow up on him man

in our treasure trove of character tidbits called arb, when you have ichiro set as your my room mascot, he comments on his brothers who seemed to have stepped out and it’s something along the lines of:

“where is jiro? i hope he’s not getting involved with any weird people....” and “where did saburo go?? ......well, if it’s him, i think he’ll be alright.”

and if this isn’t the best example of how ichiro feels about his brothers individually lol. i’m sure ichiro is worried jiro’s trying to copy him too much and sees saburo doing things he was never capable of at his age as an inspiration but it’s interesting food for thought

and then in the stage play (*crowd boos*) has some of the best ichiro moments but i’m just going to say ichiro yelling at his brothers for being too loud with their musical number when he was the loudest one on the stage was really fcking funny 🤣

Headcanon:

i’m pretty sure this is canon at this point but ichiro is a clingy mf like once he’s decided you’re one of his peoples, then you are one of his peoples. you see it with how much of a brocon he is, you see it in the stage play when his long lost childhood friend, kazu, rolls into town and refuses to believe that kazu may be trouble, and you see it with ichiro naming his team buster(s) bros after his old team with kuukou who he still thinks about and considers a friend. (and might i add, was willing to change everything about himself in order to keep kuukou by his side and he’s the only person we see ichiro seriously crying over save for when he thought his brothers were dead after he lost the showdown battle with samatoki)

Ships:

ICHIKUU FOR LIFE!!!!!!!! ICHIKUU SUPREMACY MUST BE REINSTATED!!!!!!!!! like bro how do you have two different types of protagonists mesh as well as they do like they’re both loners with a huge amount of power but where kuukou is kinda nuts ichiro is kinda cool. kuukou is definitely ichiro’s sun but kuukou’s the one who puts himself into ichiro’s orbit like if their relationship turns out to be where if ichiro is struggling or if he’s calling and kuukou comes running, i will actually perish!!!! and then they’re both weebs!!!!! i really wanna know how this current ichiro, who’s a lot happier and not emo, and kuukou are going to mesh!!!!

lol and then ichidice is kinda cute and so is poly 19 year olds, ichiro/nemu/kuukou!! and of courses, i am heavily invested in however his and samatoki’s relationship is going to pan out

hypmic characters & affection hcs

i didn’t write these in order so some are about hugs n stuff and some are more about emotional affection but i hope you like it anyway! it’s all the divisions & chuuoku  ｀;:゛;｀;･(°ε° )

i tried to make them about both platonic and romantic love (bc i love both) but some are more one than the other oh well

Ichiro will full-body hug you at all times. It looks like he’d squeeze you hard, but his hugs are surprisingly gentle, and he would never intentionally hurt you. He’s absolutely the type to pick you up and hold you tight when you haven’t seen each other for a while. If you become really close, even just as friends, he’ll give you kisses on the top of your head.

Jiro gives hugs the most when he’s trying to reassure someone. He’s not the best at giving advice and stuff like that, so he’ll do his best to tell you that he’s got your back by holding you close. He’ll let you cry on his shoulder if you need to, and he refuses to let go until you’re feeling alright.

Saburo will be too shy to initiate contact most of the time but he doesn’t mind it with his friends. When he’s looking for comfort he’ll very gently tug on your sleeve with an anxious look, and he’ll settle down once you’ve brought him into your arms. He forgets all too easily that he loves being held by someone he trusts.

Samatoki will give little bits of physical affection that seem mundane at first, but he gets close enough that you can tell it’s his way of showing that he cares. The most common will be his hand on your arm or shoulder as he asks how your day’s been, maybe working up to a hug. From that, and the sweet smile on his face as he does it, it becomes clear that he’s more than genuine.

Jyuto doesn’t think there’s a huge barrier between what levels of affection you should show whether it’s a platonic or romantic relationship, only because he thinks both are equally important. And he’ll respect your boundaries because he has his own. When you’re excited about something he’ll ruffle your hair to show support, and in return he loves gentle strokes to his hair (the bunny loves being pet, what can I say?).

Riou loves having one arm over your shoulder as you’re lying down, admiring the sky. Whether you’re looking at clouds floating by or the twinkling stars, Riou could lose hours staring at them with you by his side. His hugs are so warm that it’s easy to get sleepy in his arms. Seeing you feel safe around him is all that Riou could ask for.

Ramuda is the clingiest hugger ever, in the best way possible. It’s kind of scary how easy it is for him to tell when something’s amiss, and he’ll be attached to you until whatever was bothering you has gone away. It feels more intimate for him to hold someone’s hand than much else, so he’ll save it for super special occasions.

Gentaro is fonder of casual affection than anything else. Whenever the two of you are hanging out he won’t mind if you lean on his shoulder as he reads, and vice versa. It’s like a little reminder that you’ve got his back when he needs it. Likes the occasional pat on the shoulder (and on the head too but he’d never say it).

Dice needs physical affection a lot more than he lets on, but it’s not as if he tries to hide it. When you’re hanging around with him and he’s in the mood for a cuddle he’ll whine and sigh dramatically until you get the hint. It turns into a habit, Dice asking for a hug without him actually saying it. And it’s only because he’s too embarrassed to admit it. One thing he can rely on is that your arms will always be open to welcome him, whatever state he’s in.

Jakurai has the softest hugs in the world. It starts with him placing his hand on your back to ask for permission, and when he gets it he puts his other hand on the back of your head, bringing you to his body with as much caution as if you were made of glass. But there is a strange strength to his embrace. It feels like if anyone tried to pry his arms open they wouldn’t budge at all.

Hifumi will, of course, act differently depending on which side of him you’re interacting with. But if you’re close with him he’ll be happy to cuddle you no matter which Hifumi it is, because after all, they are the same person. If you’re alright with it, he likes flirting with you platonically (you get me?) to make you smile. But he can’t take it. Being told compliments as you hug him make him weak.

Doppo loves bedtime snuggles. Just being able to forget about the world outside of the bed is one of his favourite feelings, especially with the warmth of a loved one. Even just knowing someone cares about his well-being enough to want to be there with him as he falls asleep is enough to warm his heart. Waking up next to them and being free to drift in and out of sleep in the warmth is something he’ll secretly cherish forever.

Kuko (canonically I think) isn’t fond of being around too many people, so his affections come out when you’re hanging out alone, and even then it’ll take a while for his sappy side to come out. Standing shoulder to shoulder enough affection for him at the start, but over time he finds himself realising how much he just wants to snooze and cuddle next to you.

Jyushi needs hugs so much. When he’s nervous, before a live show, after practice, you name it and Jyushi wants a hug. Most hugs will be you hugging him as he’s hugging Amanda. Letting you get so close to Amanda is a whole honour in itself! If he’s not up for a hug and needs his space, before you can get to him he’ll bonk you on the nose with Amanda’s squishy snout.

Hitoya will only let you be affectionate in private. Out in the world he’s more stoic than soft, but in the comfort of his or your home he’s game for anything. He loves kicking back with you, making some food and drinks and chatting about whatever. That alone is intimate for him, but your embrace would make him even happier with your relationship.

Sasara will opt for fleeting touches, like a quick hand squeeze or a hug that’s over before you know it. He’ll make you just want to wrap him up in your arms and not let him skip away with that annoyingly cute grin of his. If you do he’ll say that it’s too much for him (jokingly of course), but the reality is that he gets embarrassed. If you tease him about it then there’s no telling what might happen.

Rosho makes sure the affection is equal between you. You hug him, he hugs back, you compliment him, and he compliments you back. Even if he blushes the whole time. His favourite way of showing affection is definitely through words. Hearing that his jokes amuse you make him blush up to his ears, and he’d have no idea how much he loves being complimented on his appearance.

Rei isn’t a hugely sentimental guy, so it’d take some convincing that you’re trying to be affectionate towards him. There’d be a lot of trial and error, finding out what works for the two of you. Saying “You did good today.” or “It’s nice to see you here!” will be the tipping point. Actually getting to admit that he likes your company is the hard part.

Otome is cautious of opening up to someone, but with enough mutual love and trust it’ll come through. There’s a mine of affection sitting inside her, with glimpses coming through every now and then. Stroking her hand while she’s talking about something she’s invested in shows her you care, while also letting her have her space.

Ichijuku takes a while to warm up to a lot of physical affection, but she wants to! She appreciates how much you’d pay attention to when she gets a little antsy and needs some alone time. The pay-off would be worth it though as she’d start to surprise you with greeting hugs, and maybe even a light-hearted kiss on the cheek to show how thankful she is to have you in her life.

Nemu loves little hugs and squeezes throughout the day, making sure to get one in before and after work. Knowing she has someone warm to hug when she gets home makes all the hard work worth it. She also loves binge watching her favourite shows with yummy snacks to last you all night, and the two of you huddled under a warm blanket.

hewwo may i request yandere hcs for ichiro, samatoki, and juto? (if youre comfortable!!)

mod ramuda: OH BABEY I LOVE YANDERES *kuusou mesorogiwi plays in bg*

⟢ ichiro, samatoki and jyuto yandere headcanons

ichiro:

○ you were friends prior to him slowly descending into madness

○ he originally fell for you because of how kind you were to his younger brothers

○ you and he were cooking dinner together when saburo made an off-handed comment about how it was like you guys were like a real family, with you and ichiro as the parents

○ this made the gears in ichiro’s head turn as he realized how nice it’d be if you really were his…

○ he can’t kidnap you unfortunately (for him) because his brothers, or at least saburo, would absolutely notice

○ he instead ops for stalking you - and he’s far better at it than you’d think

○ also has become a master of sneaking into your house and being able to take items of yours for his own… personal reasons

○ sometimes he’ll crawl in through your window at night to watch you sleep

○ would never hurt you under any circumstances - you’re his god/goddess and he’d give you the world on a silver platter if he could

○ the same can’t be said for anyone who tries to pursue you however

○ if he one day does confess his feelings and you reject him, he’ll act like it’s totally okay

○ the reality is he’ll go into the secret area he has set up in the basement and have a breakdown surrounded by the mass of photos of you he’s taken and personal items of yours he’s stolen

○ on the other hand he’ll be seeing through rose-colored glasses if you accept his feelings

○ once you realize this means he’s around you 24/7 and you notice your friends slowly start disappearing, you may wish you had rejected him to begin with

samatoki:

○ he always thought he didn’t need anyone else. just him, nemu and his team were always good enough

○ when you had bumped into him on the street and didn’t run away scared - rather you told him how cool you thought his eyes were - that all changed

○ you looked radiant through his eyes, a shining gemstone in his colorless world

○ at first he had his men follow him around and document what you did during the day, but eventually that wasn’t cutting his anymore

○ samatoki has more than enough connections to find a nice secluded area to keep you and that’s exactly what he does

○ he comes off as a violent man, what with being in the yakuza and all, but he also would never lay a hand on you because he’s seen that far too many times growing up and he swore he would never be like his father

○ makes sure you’re living comfortably (but not so comfortable that you can escape him) and would do anything within reason for you

○ loves to kiss all over your body and remind you it will always be you and him, forever

jyuto:

○ met you because you were a witness for a robbery and he ended up questioning you for whatever you knew

○ unlike his group member, he doesn’t fall in love with you at first sight

○ he does however see you in the morning on his coffee run before work, you were in front of him in line ordering a hot chocolate and he offered to pay - you did help him close his case after all

○ this continues to happen until you two slowly develop a friendship and that’s when he realizes just how precious he find you… and how badly he wants to break you

○ he also has many underground connections and uses (read: blackmails) them to find a nice spot where he can seclude you from the outside world

○ he isn’t as nice as the other two and would harm you if circumstances call for it, but wouldn’t just start hitting you for no reason

○ it’s more along the lines of if you try to leave him, he’ll tie you up and leave you crying and begging for him to come back and free you

○ if you keep trying to escape from his love, he’ll end up carving his name into your thigh so you know exactly who you belong to

○ has the most sexual desires out of the three and will make sure you’re very aware - in extreme detail - of what he wants to do to you

○ you’ll always be his little bunny, and he will always be the coyote right behind you
