Hottest JoJo Character Bracket - Match 3-10

[majimasleftasscheek]

Hihi! Do you have any minedai headcanons? (Idk how to write aAAAAA)

hmmm I had to give this a good think cuz I normally don't obsess about them too much (compared to a certain other pair lmao) but here's what I got 👀

*note! gonna be a mix of silly and more realistic ideas. my interpretation of minedai is pretty unserious

Daigo

genuinely enjoys mine's company, as uptight and neurotic it may be. because daigo was given the chairman position, a lot of people don't respect him other than mine so it's nice to hang out with someone who, despite being overly respectful, is kind to him. he feels a lot at ease with mine, able to be more himself n all that. it's not much but it means a lot to daigo

that said, he totally goes out in his casual clothes when able and is still very goth coded. Mine makes intense but silent notes about every little thing in those outfits and thinks it's very cute when there's little details like tiny skulls n things

likes to do go out spontaneously when he can and takes mine along. mine thinks something like that is way too dangerous for a chairman to be doing but daigo confides that he's not worried if mine is with him (with an ulterior motive to loosen the giant stick up mine's ass to get him to live a little). cue mine choking on his heart

I like the idea of daigo being oblivious to mine's obsessive behavior to an extent. he becomes so used to mine's quirks that he writes it off as oh he's just like that lol. but he's not wholly dumb to it. he'll be lowkey flirty and that's when mine's questions daigo's actions like "why is daigo smiling at me? is he sick? I should call an ambulance..."

genuinely has zero idea what type of things mine likes. tho daigo grew up in a bougie type of life and mine currently lives it, he can assume things like fine arts and fancy shit tho personally he removed himself from that sort of thing as he got older (to avoid being anything even close to his dad lol). comparatively, daigo lives more modestly so gift giving is up to guessing but mine accepts literally anything from him and frankly refuses to give him hints as not to place expectations accidentally

likes to spar with mine and was surprised to see that daigo was decently capable of protecting himself and finds his informal style of fighting very charming. he's seen daigo fight before, but it's a bit of a different intensity when it's just to two of them trying their hardest to impress

has a network of friends/allies like kiryu, kashiwagi, etc that mine keeps a closer than needed eye on. daigo does get frustrated that he has to explain he trusts these people wholly and it's often a point of contention between them

very much likes slow days when they can just chill with each other, however that may be. cuddling is prime even if mine gets mad hot and sweaty so daigo keeps a full body towel handy. it's not unusual for daigo to go out of his way to prod mine for reactions as it's the highlight of his day

Mine

definitely has a shrine dedicated to daigo. for funnies: has weird shit like used napkins, articles of hair, etc just funky stuff someone wildin' would keep. realistically I think he'd be a lil more modest - having photos and baubles, typical normie shrine shit

absolutely has a folder on his phone/computer of "selfies" with him and daigo. most of them are just regular photos you'd find in like newspapers, half of them are blurry as hell, and there's a few he's taken himself but poorly done because he did it under a table or something. and of course there's many photos of just daigo, doing all assortment of things from working hard to hardly working

he's caught by daigo occasionally but mine attributes his behavior to "trying to find better phone signal" as he aims it coincidentally at daigo's spikey heeled boots. even when they're together together, he still does this on the sly

insists on paying for everything whenever they're out but with enough convincing, he'll back down and internally melts when daigo tells him he's just happy to have his company. has a habit tho of "making up" for what he didn't pay for such as ordering lunches n things before daigo can refuse

obvs very violently protective of daigo tho avoids being so in front of him as much as possible. it's very common for someone who's spoken ill of daigo to get their ass beat or thrown into the Tokyo Bay some days later. has a network of people dedicated solely to routing out daigo haters

is often confided to by daigo about the stresses of running the clan and it takes a lot out of mine for him to not be cold and calculating with an answer. has had to learn sometimes people just want someone to listen

at first, mine thought such confiding was some limp dick shit but over time realized that daigo never wanted anything out of such confessions which is unexpected. to have someone be so trusting and vulnerable with him is incredibly valuable

would have "sounds of daigo talking about stuff" recorded and sleeps to it every night. be assured clips of daigo sneezing are in there too

if he was in dead souls, he would be going turbo murder throughout the city just to dent the population of zombies that could even potentially get a whiff of daigo's darkness allure™ cologne. if infected, I imagine he'd have the will to remain loyal cuz the power of simp compels him

pretending genshin is a canon game in twst, who do u think idia (or lilia, and maybe cater bc u cant tell me he doesn't play mobile games) would main? and do u think there'd be any characters he hates either based off their element, personality, or just their lore 💀

Omg omg I have been wanting to talk about this sort of concept recently, so thank you for the ask aaaaaa!!! Let's pretend that everyone in NRC is playing the hit mobile game Genshin Impact (so I can write about who everyone mains hehe)!!!!

Riddle mains one of the starter characters, whether Traveler, Kaeya, Amber, or Lisa because he rarely pulls, so as a result he's built the main four. But I think he'd save for Cyno reruns because Cyno administers justice in accordance with the law and Riddle's pleased to see a character so dedicated to upholding order and justice. He might also like Raiden Shogun because she's a tyrannical strict leader like him and somehow he relates, but then he learns she abandoned her creation and Scaramouche's mommy issues hit a little too close to home for him, so he's not sure if he likes her all that much anymore. He also likes Yanfei because of her ties to the law as well!

Trey mains Jean. When he co-ops with Heartslabyul, he's usually stuck playing a healer. Not that it bothers him, mind you! He enjoys it because he can be a tease and only heal when a select few (Ace and Deuce) are within an inch of their lives lol.

Ace mains Childe, but he sucks at aiming and so he usually relies on Childe's water blades. He likes to join Deuce's world under the guise of helping when in reality he's stealing materials. He's the type who skips all of the dialogue and story.

Deuce mains Heizou and he does play for the story! He likes it a lot, and he really likes Heizou's character and how he's a detective. He is terrified of the Raiden Shogun. 100% was screaming in terror during her battle when she locks your skills because his Traveler is not the best built. >_<

Cater either mains Mona because astrology besties stick together and he loves her aesthetic or he mains Xinyan because he loves the punk-rock vibe she has, both in design but also it's her passion! I think he's also a secret Xiao main, but he doesn't tell anyone about it.

Leona mains Dehya!!!!! He does not care what anyone says about her. Radish Sprout can stick his meta talk elsewhere because Leona isn't listening! He thinks Dehya is super cool and badass. Just to prove everyone wrong, he makes sure to build his Dehya to be the utmost strongest. He doesn't pay the closest attention to the story, but he will admit there are some cutscenes that really do have him fully awake because of how cool they are. (He makes Ruggie play the story for him and do most of the exploring in his world to unlock teleports and domains.)

Ruggie mains one of the starter characters because there is no way he's spending his hard-earned money on pixels. He's entirely free to play, but when he gets to play on Leona's account he has lots of fun using all of the characters Leona has and perhaps even spending a little of Leona's Madol to wish on the banners. As a result, Leona has an unbuilt Cyno, Yae Miko, Eula, and Qiqi (he lost the 50/50 at some point).

Jack either mains Gorou, Albedo, or Noelle. I think he just really likes Geo the most, so it's his preferred element in a character. His characters are reasonably built (they're all better than Ace's builds, that's for sure). He doesn't play Genshin very often, though, so he's a little behind in the story.

Azul mains Yelan, Ayato, Dori, and Ningguang. He plays for the story and the collecting characters aspect. He's greedy, so he wants every character, but he's too prideful to whale. So he saves hoards primogems and uses them when he really wants a character or constellations. Somehow he's yet to lose a 50/50, much to Idia's annoyance.

Jade mains Kokomi. Yes, her crit rate and crit damage are absolutely insane. Yes, his Kokomi solos with wild damage. Yes, it's scary that Jade mains a healer who he's made into a DPS and never puts the jellyfish down when he plays with Azul and Floyd until the very last minute (though mostly he lets them die so he can smile innocently and say, "Oops. I must have missed the button.") He was really disappointed when Kokomi didn't turn out to be a merciless, villainous scheming tactician. In his heart, she is. :(

Floyd mains Wanderer, but it's only because he likes flying around like a little mosquito all the time. He does not care about the lore. He does not care about the story. He does not care about Wanderer's past. He is skipping the dialogue because he only wants to fight enemies and bosses. :/ he likes joining Azul and Jade's worlds at the most inconvenient times just to fly around as Wanderer while they're stuck in a cutscene LOL.

Kalim mains Nilou, Yoimiya, Itto, and Venti! He likes these characters because they all have such lovely, fun energy. He loves the story (he cried during some parts) and he loves every character and their designs and lore! He is a whale because he's weak to the pretty characters with their interesting stories, but he hasn't had time to properly build all of them. Kalim builds his characters based off of what he feels is right. Idia took one look at his account and died when he saw the builds. T_T

Jamil mains Sara or Zhongli! I think he might also be a secret Yae Miko main, but he doesn't tell everyone what characters he has or how strong they are. He rarely co-ops, instead choosing to stick to himself and enjoy the game in peace, but Kalim's always requesting to join his world and he can't possibly turn him down. T_T begrudgingly, Jamil lets him in, but his ego is boosted considerably when he's the one carrying Kalim during co-op. Genshin is one of the few games where Jamil actually beats Kalim in terms of character strengths and builds and he is very proud of that.

Vil mains Yelan, Eula, and Rosaria because he likes their fashion styles (Yelan's fur coat is the moment). He's a casual player, so he's not very far in the story and he returns to it if and when the motivation to play strikes him. Still, he will admit it's a very beautiful game.

Rook mains all bow characters, but his favorite is Tighnari. He loves to say he's playing both an animal of prey and a predator when he's out killing enemies with Tighnari in the open world or if he's just shooting down birds from the sky. Even in a game, his aim is precise and perfect. It's actually a little scary...

Epel mains Razor, Diluc, and Heizou. He loves punching things with Heizou. It's a lot of fun, and there's something about Heizou that gives him a confidence boost. Maybe it's because Heizou is short and cute-looking like him, yet here he is beating people up with his fists. Epel has a lot of fun with that type of play style!

Idia has every character. Do not try to talk to him about builds because his are by far the best and strongest. He has his favorite five stars at c6, which includes Keqing, Xiao, Ganyu, Kazuha, Shenhe, Raiden Shogun, and Zhongli. He's on a mission to collect all of the Archons and all of the Harbingers. He is so invested in the story and lore, but he didn't like how Inazuma was written. He mourned for days when Signora was killed because he was looking forward to her being playable. :( he does not understand the hype around Scaramouche; yes, he is a hater like that. </3 but he will admit Scaramouche's boss theme and the boss design itself goes unbelievably hard. A certified banger.

Ortho mains Sucrose! He likes that she's interested in a field of science much like his brother. Ortho likes all of the characters who are connected to science in some way (like Albedo and Tighnari). He also finds Wanderer's backstory really interesting and, on some level, relatable (at least in terms of not being fully human).

Malleus mains Shenhe because he relates to her being misunderstood (and lonely) and he also finds her backstory to be very riveting. He is also drawn to Zhongli because of how wise he is. Malleus could listen to Zhongli drone on and on about Liyue history because he finds it really captivating! His builds aren't the best, though, and he's not very good at fighting, but he loves the storyline.

Lilia mains Hu Tao. He loves her lore and also her design. He finds all of her morbid jokes incredibly fun, and he loves the contrast between upbeat personality with the funeral director job. The Inazuma arc reminded him of his days as a war general. He was very disappointed when Kokomi accepted help from that "anonymous benefactor." Tsk, tsk. Now look what that has cost you. >_<

Sebek mains whoever Lord Malleus mains because he trusts his lord's discerning eye when it comes to choosing characters. He won't admit it to anyone, but he is actually highly invested in the plot. Sebek will wither away before he tells anyone, though. He's only playing because Malleus is (or so he continues to say, but he does enjoy the game when he plays it on occasion).

Silver mains Ganyu. He relates to her tendency to doze off, for he is guilty of the same thing. He can't play Genshin for too long because he usually falls asleep while playing, so it can get difficult to sit through Archon quests. But he does his best because Lilia recommended the game and he wants to understand it a little more.

Ok so I’d like to condense my ask

I asked for 47 catching reader vape but what if she’s a total brat and I mean like somehow sneaked in vapes, slingshots her pearls from jewellery 47 got her at the cameras

Omg this is gonna be so good aaaaaa

Yandere 47 with a rebellious/brat reader

Notes: this took sooo long, didn't really know how to write this either. this slowly becoming a 47 fan account...

Warnings: fluff, kidnapped reader, gender neutral reader

This. fucking. sucked

Getting kidnapped was just about the last thing you had expected when you took that vacation in Sapienza

By a seemingly emotionless, aloof contract killer nonetheless

Though you are far luckier than many others, since his aim wasn't to kill you, quite the opposite actually, he was crazy about you

Still...

That didn't mean you owed him any of your love in return

In fact, the last thing you were gonna do is make this easy on him

Whether it's by rolling your eyes at him, the silent treatment or just flat out bullying

He looks at you deadpan when you insult the 5 star michelin level food he made for you and then asks what he can do to make it better

Sneak into his weapons room and just rearrange some shit

Fuck it, unpack his breifcase right before a misson

You can only do this once though, 47 makes sure you can't get to that part of the house now, not cause you're messing with his equipment, but because you could possibly hurt yourself

Sometimes when you're bored in captivity and there's no hitman to berate, you make a game out of trying to hit the security camera lenses by throwing loose rings/pearls at them

Breaking the gifts he got for you, or just things around the house, doesn't really bother him either, since everything can be replaced

He let's do pretty much anything as long as it isn't a danger to your health

And, of course, he had expected this kind of behavior from you

He had literally kidnapped you after all

But 47 is incredibly patient, making him quite tolerant to the way your rebellious behavior

In fact, he finds it endearing in a way

Well...most of the time

It's pretty disheartening when you're actively making life as hard for him

And eventually it becomes clear that simply letting you act out like this isn't going to help you two become closer

But no impossible task is impossible for 47

We've all heard the witty little puns and honest murder innuendos he says his victims before they inevitably die

He can be quite quick-witted so any of your sly insults will be met with equally teasing remarks to catch you off guard

Never with any actual malice though, his chivalry is unwavering

Being a brat gets kinda boring when you never get a reaction out of him

It gets to the point where you simply forget you're supposed to be giving him attiture

'Well...maybe he isn't that bad.....'

It's kinda hard to be mad when he hasn't really done anything to you

All he does is make you food, buy you things, make sure you're comfortable and overall be a gentleman

Even if you manage to forgive him for the kidnapping, doesn't mean you'll stop teasing him

But this more playful way of teasing is very much welcome

He has to admire your tenacity

"...I had to impersonate the targets husband at a private masquerade", he'll tell you after you press him for what his recent mission was like

"You cheated on me????", you reply, holding back a smirk, knowing you just made his heart pause by implying that he would ever cheat on you (he wouldn't, he'd prob shoot someone if they didn't take the hint)

The fact you're sarcastic most of the time, makes the actually loving and tender moments so much more special

Overall, your combative personality and his stoic one clash in a way that, kind of works??

[nullians]

William James Moriarty willingly falling to Hell of his own making when being confronted by Sherlock

William James Moriarty who knows Sherlock has a point (“There isn’t a single thing in this world that can’t be undone!”, what a spectacular but also devastating lie you’re telling here Mr. Holmes!!) but who’s in too much pain and is too exhausted to be able to choose differently

(And oh my gods, Sherlock. Sherlock!! It’s true that William can still be saved but you’re saying that to a person who is. Examining his hands and seeing so much blood there!! Some things cannot be undone, people can’t be brought back to life! William cannot undo his Moriarty plan, the same way it couldn’t be anybody else but him to make it work anyways! AAAAAA)

William James Moriarty who falls to his death with a mocking smile and empty eyes because that is his final victory over Sherlock - to be the only one who dies for his grand scheme, to be the only one put to early rest, to not allow himself any other path than the one he has chosen so many years ago. He is right. He was never wrong. He will prove it.

(Save him)

(You cannot save me)

(Nobody should want to save me)

And Sherlock Holmes who in attempt to save him blunders through his words but ultimately takes the role of the devil himself, only he’s the temptator made solely for William. William is not wrong to call him the devil then. Sherlock is hurling words at him just to make him reconsider.

Take a moment to see how his words evolve. Sherlock comes to the scene starting off with stating how things are, how the people of London have all deemed William to be the devil. He then says the line about how things can still be undone. It’s an attempt to make William reconsider dying for real and instead going for a fake death. It obviously doesn’t work, if it could then Louis and Fred would’ve been able to change William’s mind without Sherlock.

Then Sherlock does a bit better by expressing how he’s not okay with just letting William die

(“You expect me to just stand by and watch as you go to your death?”)

but immediately fucks up with following with a taunt that’s crossing with William’s plan

(“Is dying the atonement that you’ve come up with for yourself? You’re just doing it to escape from your own suffering. Don’t use death as your escape! If you truly want to atone, then make the harder choice for yourself! Live and atone with your life for what you have done. Right? Isn’t that right, Liam?”)

+1 -2, he’s back to zero and then worse with this. William might want to hear that he’s important to Sherlock, but telling him to atone by living is akin to telling him that his pain doesn’t matter. It’s a failure of acknowledging just how much he’s suffering already. It’s a blunder. He immediately changes his approach and decides to jump off the bridge after this. It’s a clear “Fuck you” to Sherlock’s taunt.

And it would end there with him hearing “You stubborn jackass!” as Sherlock’s parting words but then Sherlock finally kinda breaks out of that initial anger he was aiming at him and lunges after him and manages to catch his hand. It becomes personal then. Sherlock is putting his own life at risk in order to save him.

And Sherlock realizes a few things there too, throwing his previous words out of the window and trying again with stating that no, he’s doing all this because William is his friend. He does a 180 saying “Living may hold nothing but bitterness for you, but the world that you are changing is going to be a world worth living in. I’m sure of it!”. It manages to 1) acknowledge the weight and pain that William shoulders, 2) tell William that Sherlock sees that the Moriarty Plan is/was a worthwhile effort, 3) affirm that Sherlock, personally, believes that William’s ideal of the world will succeed. And it works! Even if William is still set on dying here, it makes something in him finally be at ease, returning the light to his eyes.

“You can see that same future for yourself!”

William realizes at this moment that Sherlock didn’t come there as a part of his plan. That he came there on his own volition to save him and that this whole set up he’s made into a spectacle is not like that to Sherlock at all. That while he’s still playing the Lord of Crime, Sherlock is genuinely there to save his ass and nothing more. And he gives that victory to him. He says “You’ve bested me, Sherly”. It’s the one thing he doesn’t let himself hope for but gets it anyway, and he’s happy to go. This time with a real smile. William is incredibly stubborn when it comes to sticking to his plan and he doesn’t intend to drag anyone down to hell with him, so he does the logical thing of stabbing Sherlock’s arm and forcing him to let go of his hand. His last act of selflessness. The last gift.

Only you know, he didn’t account for just how stubborn Sherlock himself was. Because Sherlock Holmes jumps into hell with him, throwing everything of his own away, doing the illogical thing. Sherlock, who just moments ago was taunting him with how he was a coward for choosing death, who doesn’t even flinch before reaching for him in what was then their downfall, whose last words to him there were an order to live.

Sherlock is nothing short of insane. He decides on the spot that if the world has already chosen to condemn William, and William decided to agree with that, then he’s still going to choose his side and stand with him and his pain. Sherlock can only lose here. He uses what’s left of himself and his time to show William that no matter what he does, there is still someone who will see him for who he truly is. He doesn’t get to die alone. He doesn’t deserve that. It’s utterly devastating and beautiful.

^Basically what I’ve been scattering across my blog these past few days but a bit more detailed because I’m down bad:

[okkottsus]

Heyo, it is I!!! You're the only one ik who's both active on Tumblr n obsessed w those two idiots (affectionate) so I hope I'm not intruding ;;

So so so!! What's your opinion on reonagi breaking up again in the near future? Personally I was all for it bc them staying together has been tragically shown to stall both of their growths but ONLY if it's reo who recognizes that n acts accordingly + doesn't completely sever their relationship like it did before bc they're so happy now ;;;; smth like "it's still fun w you but now I can see we do better training apart so instead of a treasure (a priceless object I found, an idolization that made me feel worthless) could you be my friend? (my partner, my equal)"

(can you tell I've been *clenching fist* at all the bachisagi enjoyers getting their cute heartwarming healthyass relationship built up and continuously improved on both relationship-wise and as individuals who inspire each other while we got 100k words of misunderstandings angst hurt no comfort slowburn friends to strangers to best friends)

AAAAAA I TOTALLY GET U ABT THE COMPARISON TO BACHISAGI AKSKD i love them sm too, but my brain saw the angst and said u're gonna obsess over the idiots who cant communicate instead....and ofc u're not intruding, i love screaming abt them any chance i get so thank u for giving me one 😭 

personally i dont have a strong preference, meaning i wouldnt mind either way; them being on the same team or on different ones. i believe their separation was extremely needed and that they gained a lot from it, so as long as they dont fall back into old habbits and stop themselves from evolving, i think they could take what they learnt while apart and implement it while on the same team too!!

reo thought to himself that he wants to be nagi’s equal and to nagi, it has always been certain that they would be the best together at the end of the line, no matter the detours. Thats why it should be ok now, as long as they dont lose sight of the goal (no pun intended ajsjk). Not to mention its blue lock we are talking abt, things probs will change again sooner or later, so i need them both to be able to play at their best even when they arent working together (esp since they are aiming to be professionals?? like u cant expect to be able to play at peak condition only when u’re teammates with ur bae ajskjd)

but yeah for sure, i dont want the progress that has been made thru all this heartache to be in vain, i want them to inspire and support each other as equals as u said!! and the ideal would be if they got to talk abt their perspectives now with their newfound confidence and without tension getting in the way. but idk, maybe thats asking too much of them, they have a long way to go in order to catch up to bachisagi in the talking abt feelings department 💀

End ID.]

we’re getting to a point where it is taking me genuine effort to come up with ways to change the scenes but here are my current plans for now

[levitatingbiscuits]

Aaaaaa I just found your drabbles on ao3 and the last clone obi killed me. Thank goodness for poor Rex, its gonna have to be Quin who spills the beans, isn't it? Or maybe they find out from Kamino? Damn. Please someone give him a hug. The fallout when the ruth comes out is gonna be rough for the Jedi. Amazing wroting thank you!!!

Anakin knew that the council would come looking for him eventually. They kept him on a tight leash, and every day it got tighter. Some days he thought it was a noose, instead, choking the life out of him, holding him back. Even so, his missions with Obi-Wan went haywire so often that he'd expected them to wait at least another week before sending someone to find them.

(...how many of those missions had been purposefully sabotaged by the impostor?)

"General Skywalker," Rex said from the entrance of the command tent, which was now serving as an interrogation room. His voice was slightly unsteady, and he was trying not to look at the fake slumped on its bloody knees at Anakin's feet. He must have felt uneasy that an enemy had slipped so seamlessly into their midst; it still mimicked Obi-Wan so uncannily that it had even given Anakin pause, at first. Now every sigh, every flinch, every word spoken in that stolen voice, just fueled his rage.

"What?" he snapped, panting from exertion.

"General Windu and General Vos are here. Cody's with them now, but he's not aware of the full extent of what you've been-- of the situation, I mean. They're asking where G-General Kenobi is." Rex's gaze skipped over the fake when he said the name, as if a part of him still thought the meat droid was anything like the closest thing that Anakin had to a father.

"That's what I've been trying to find out," Anakin said, aiming a kick at its jaw, where its beard was matted with blood. The familiar groan of pain that resulted made his teeth clench. "Hear that, sleemo? With two other Jedi around, I can just mind trick it out of you."

It wisely stayed silent. It had even stopped lying about its loyalty to the Republic, after Anakin made it regret it.

"C'mon, Rex, show me where they are," Anakin ordered, turning on his heel and emerging from the dark, close air of the tent to harsh starlight. The troopers flanking the entrance stiffened at the sight of him, as they often did after an interrogation.

"Sir, shouldn't you... clean up, before you see them?" Rex asked. Anakin paused, looked down at himself, and clicked his tongue in annoyance. He wiped the blood from his hands with an oil rag he kept for R2, gave his face a rough swipe where he'd felt a bit splatter earlier, and absently commended himself for having the foresight to wear black.

Rex was vibrating with nervous energy as he led him through the encampment, which had fallen into a disarray unheard of in the GAR. Restless 212th clones watched their every move as they approached the landing site. There was no 501st blue mingled with their gold, which was unusual on a joint mission--Anakin's men kept to their side of the camp, which was between the 212th and the command tent, and the other battalion rebuffed any attempts to bridge the gap.

From a distance, Anakin could already tell that neither of the other Jedi would listen to him. Windu was frowning thunderously, planted like a mountain with his arms crossed, whereas Vos was pacing back and forth like an agitated Lothwolf. Even Cody glowered at him, brow furrowed and scar pulled tight. There was no love lost between Anakin and any of them--he and Windu never saw eye-to-eye, and he didn't like it when Cody got uppity and criticized his tactics to Obi-Wan. Vos, however, was the worst of the lot; he hated how the man thought he was Obi-Wan's keeper, even though they clearly disliked each other. Obi-Wan was always a little cautious around Vos, wary and watchful, and no matter how Vos playacted at friendliness there was always anger in his eyes when he looked at him. Obi-Wan was the only person he never touched--even Anakin hadn't been able to escape a noogie or two as a padawan.

He'd pestered Obi-Wan about what happened between the two of them, why Vos was always around even though neither of them wanted him there. Obi-Wan would clam up, in that subtle way of his, redirecting him to more comfortable topics, and eventually Anakin stopped caring enough to ask. But his dislike of Vos stayed.

"Where is he?" Vos demanded, as soon as he caught sight of him. Anakin's lip curled.

"I don't know yet," he admitted, "But I'll find out."

"Skywalker, the report the Council received indicated that you've been torturing Master Kenobi, to the point that the troopers fear for his life. Now I'll ask you again: where is he?" Windu said, hand curling around his lightsaber hilt. Cody's head snapped up, and for a second Anakin wondered if he'd launch himself at him the way he did at Grievous.

"What report?" Anakin gritted out. Had one of his men betrayed him? The information about Obi-Wan being replaced by an impostor was need-to-know, but Anakin's interrogations were hardly quiet. Hell, maybe a 212th boy had heard what was going on and gotten the wrong idea. The situation didn't look great without context, even Anakin could admit that.

"The Chancellor recently uncovered that Obi-Wan was replaced with a cloned impostor, and he asked me to subdue it. I've been interrogating it to find out where Obi-Wan is. I'm not sure how much military intelligence has been compromised or who it's working for, but--"

Vos cut him off by grabbing his collar, ashen-faced, and growled, "You karking idiot, what the kriff were you thinking--"

Anakin shoved him off, itching for a fight, but Vos's attention had switched to the blood on his hands, smeared with tacky blood from Anakin's soiled tunic. He looked like he was going to be sick.

Anakin abruptly remembered that Vos was psychometric.

Cody and Windu were staring at the blood, but Vos looked back up, his expression hard. "Where is he, Skywalker."

"Vos--" Windu began, and was soundly ignored.

"Blondie," Vos said, pointing at Rex with stained fingers. "You reported this, right? Take me to him. Now."

"Rex," Anakin barked. Of all his men, Rex had betrayed him? Rex, who had heard the meat droid's lies about Obi-Wan being dead? Rex, who should understand why Anakin had to do this?

Maybe the Chancellor had been right. Maybe he should have just told them that Obi-Wan was a traitor. After all, the troopers might have turned on him in favor of the meat droid, if they learned it was another clone. But he'd thought he could trust Rex.

He'd thought wrong.

Rex hesitated, glancing at him, and then at Cody. He firmed his jaw and nodded to Vos. "Follow me."

Then they were racing across the camp, Cody at their heels. Anakin made to give chase, but Windu's hand clamping around his arm stopped him.

"Finish your report first," he said. "You can start why you're covered in a POW's blood, spy or otherwise, and finish with why you chose to act on the Chancellor's unsubstantiated claims instead of informing the council."

Anakin ripped away, spitting, "You can kriffing wait." And then he was running, fury a burning star in his chest. He was going to make Rex regret this after he was done with the first meat droid.

He reached the tent in time to see Vos cut the impostor loose. Cody stood stock still in the entrance, hand flexing on his still-holstered blaster. Rex was crouched by the central pole the fake had been tied to, murmuring softly, helping it slide down and rest on its side. Vos hesitated, then deliberately set his hands against its back to support it.

Windu arrived last, and let out a curse at the sight of the fake. Anakin was beginning to realize that his interrogations might have been a little excessive, and for a second he saw the scene with fresh eyes.

Against his will, he remembered how his mother had looked, when she died in his arms.

The star of wrath in his chest went supernova. How dare that thing make him think of the most painful moment of his life. That had been Obi-Wan's fault for holding him back, keeping him too weak to save his mother for the sake of his own jealousy of Anakin's power, just like this situation was his fault for being taken and replaced without any warning and leaving Anakin to clean up his mess, just like so many of the other things that had gone wrong for him since he became a Jedi. Anakin abruptly wanted to hurt the thing wearing Obi-Wan's face so much that he couldn't breathe.

"Not another step," Windu said, voice like ice, and then Cody was planting himself between Anakin and the bloody, broken, wheezing thing on the ground, blaster in hand and teeth bared.

"Hey, you," Vos was saying frantically, "You good? Can you hear me? Kark, he's burning up." He looked to the two 501st guards who were gaping into the tent. "One of you get a kriffing medic before you need one yourselves."

They bolted.

"I am..." croaked the thing, eyes hazy blue slits in the bloody mess that had been Obi-Wan's face, "Loyal... to the Republic."

"We know, General Kenobi," Rex soothed.

"Don't call it that," Anakin raged, something close to panic filling his lungs instead of air. He didn't want to see a thing he'd destroyed with his bare hands respond to that name, even though a dark, resentful part of him had imagined it was Obi-Wan, when he hit it, sometimes hard enough to damage the circuitry in his prosthetic limb.

"It's not Obi-Wan, it's a clone, a flesh droid, it replaced him, it said he was dead--"

"I know!" Vos yelled, rounding on him. His hands were gentle on the thing, though it looked like it hurt him to touch it.

"...Explain," said Windu, voice tense.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi died when he was thirteen years old," Vos said, the words bursting from him like they'd been dammed up inside him, straining to get out. "This is all that's left of him." His glare shifted from Windu to Anakin, sharp enough to gut him and filled with darkness, with hatred. "He's the only one you've ever known. And you did this to him."

Just like that, the supernova inside of him collapsed into a black hole, stretching and warping his galaxy into something unrecognizable. Not even Light could escape.

making miracles at mirakeul’s !!!

welcome, dear @kiyoomist, thank you for supporting mirakeul’s! your match will be right with you! just step this way, and you’re good to go! pardon me for the long wait, we hope you enjoy your date ! [reader uses she/her]

matchup masterlist || event details [event status ; closed]

sakusa kiyoomi is not one for touching surfaces that were generally deemed unsanitary given the events that happen in such areas. but there would always be one exception, her.

y/n was an odd ball of sunshine that came to his life so suddenly. she always tried so much for him, asking for consent when she wanted hugs, and even going as far as carrying different sanitation tools just in case he needed it. and so, he always made a good amount of exception of cuddling with her, especially on nights he knows she needs them.

now, flour in his face, as y/n struggled to not laugh at the situation, he remembered how different she is. and when she sees the glint in his eyes, she immediately backs off, laughing. "omi, no!"

he went around the counter with more flour in his hands, trying to trap y/n. she screamed hysterically, avoiding him, slightly panting. "come here, y/n."

"no!"

you see, earlier, the two settled on making one of the easiest recipes they could find, pancakes! there should be no way they could mess up, right? well… the bag of flour which sakusa conveniently tried to open burst at the seams, covering his face. and then here we are!

y/n's laughs made sakusa slightly smile as he tried to corner her. at one point, y/n has also gotten a handful of flour, aiming at sakusa and throwing some at him. the two and the kitchen were practically a mess when they were actually done making the pancake batter. and although sakusa was sticky, from one of the eggs that y/n threw at him, he could honestly say how he didn't care much. he could always make himself clean after, right now, it's these moments with y/n that mattered.

"omi!" y/n teasingly whined as he swiped at the pancake batter and placed it on her nose. he chuckled, letting him do the same. moments like these made him realize that it's better to live in the moment, especially when he's got someone like y/n as a partner… which of course, is always a good thing.

reblogs are greatly appreciated ! keep reading for a personal letter !

letter from you ;

Hi bianca, how are you? I hope this ask finds you in a good health :D

I recognize that you just open a matchup event, and I'd like to participate!

So, first of all, hi, my name is mist, my pronoun is she/her, my sexuality is hetero / straight, and I'm an ISTJ. I'm quite shy and awkward towards most people, but when I'm with my close friends or the people that I trust, I'm pretty talkative and loud, and I also like to tease and annoy my friends for fun sjsjsjsj (oh and my love language is physical touch :3)

I love science and math, I also enjoy learning and reading. I'm actually pretty moody about foods and hobbies, some things that certain : I love coffee and matcha latte, and I'm currently obsessed with painting! For dislikes, I don't like anything that smells strong, untidiness, undisciplined and problematic people, uncertainty, and impulsiveness.

I'm still figuring out on how my perfect s/o would be (sakusa would be a perfect example), hmmm some traits and qualities probably : polite, smart, has lean figure, tall, and huggable (cuz I'm very touch deprived)

For school preferences, hmmm probably around nekoma, itachiyama, inarizaki, and male please :)

And lastly, my date ideas, I've been imagining these kind of dates : staying at home, and playing a detective game which we got a fake case and we have to solve riddles and puzzles or maybe just having a cooking session together <3

I think that's all, I'm sorry if it's too long and thank you, have a great day! <33

letter from me ;

aaaaaa hi mist ! <333 im great, thank you for asking, i hope you are too ! thank you for joining this event and im sorry for the very long wait ! i hope you like this and enjoy it as much as i did writing it ! ily thank you <333

AAAAAA ure the bravest person out there anyways yEAH i need u, bs&t, run are masterpieces (actually every 2013-2017 bts song was) but fake love was my last straw for them.. they were my ult and i even went to their wings concert!! i just cant w people who worships recent bts songs like... idk in my opinion its not even kpop anymore,,,, its too focused for western public and oh mY gOd i cant even emphasize how im so embarrassed for myself when i first heard dynamite,, i thought it was korean FOR TWO MONTHS until my friend pointed it out??

anyways im proud of bts and what they have become and where they are now and they deserve it but the musicality.. i cant say more but i dont like it how i liked their old songs

disclaimer!! for all bitches out there who cant swallow a fact pill, okay, this is PURELY my opinion

ily trixie hope ure doing well 😗

Tbh I think its really funny when people say I'm brave or whatever cause I'm literally just saying my opinion, people constantly bitch about oppression and then they get pitchforks out if someone says something they don't like online (I'm obviously talking about opinions, not anything ableist, racist, homophobic, etc)

I feel like kpop is getting more and more 'westernized' and before anyone says 'iT wAs AlWaYs FoLlOwInG pOp CuLtUrE' I want you to point out one western girl group with a cute concept. Go ahead. Also while you're at it point out one group with a concept that matches cantallena. Or ko ko bop. Or no diggity, if we're gonna bring in recent stuff. You can't, can you?

These recent bts song are such generic shit to please the general public, and it's so fucking sad because they released such good music it's like they got tired of doing original shit. Releasing full songs in English as if they're all English geniuses, doing the most lovey-dovey generic lyrics with the simplest music videos (when they have some of the most beautiful Mv visuals I've ever seen in some videos) and simple coreographies... Like how did dynamite even win beat choreography???? Give it to on, bloody masterpiece, but dynamite? Rigged 💀

If I wanted to hear comercial, generic shit I'd just listen to like ava max or dj snake, I listened to kpop because it was just so unseen/unheard of back in the day. Gangnam style was so popular because it was so 'weird' and eccentric, and it's like kpop is losing it. I can see it again with some recent groups like ateez and oneus but I'm so tired of kpop trying to become fucking one direction or whatever they keep aiming for

I honestly miss old bts, I'm talking boy in luv, I need u, save me... Even n.o, I think that song had a great message and on God, it was a BOP

I'm just kinda over some kpop groups doing the bare minimum and topping charts, while other groups are bringing new shit to the table and being completely fucked in the ass by household names that take samples of what they already had and recycle it :/

Camping

Poppy awakens from her slumber, aaaaaa! This was for a commission but also something I’d wanted to sit down and write for a looong while, so this finally got me to do it and I’m glad for that. This turned out longer than I expected but I had fun writing it, so I hope it turned out well!

A bit of a chill had started to creep into the night air, but Allister hardly minded at all. Being sat by a modestly-sized campfire with Wolfram beside him, there was plenty of warmth to go around. And besides, Allister was camping again! 

Sort of, anyway - it was honestly more of a meetup with friends for the evening, and they weren't even more than a twenty-minute walk from Allister's house. But the group had gotten a fire together, brought out a cooler with drinks, and even found some sizable logs to sit on. Allister preferred fold-out chairs, but his cousin Sadie had insisted it would make the whole night more 'authentic.' Plus, it did allow Wolfram and Allister to sit closer together. In all, they'd ended up with about nine people gathered together, some of them being mutual friends of Allister and Sadie, with others being acquaintances invited by said friends. The total was 'about' nine since Allister's coworker Vincent had shouted that they were going on an impromptu snack-run to the nearest convenience store thirty minutes ago.

"Honestly, I don't know what she was expecting to happen," Sadie was saying very emphatically from across the campfire. While the group had split off into their own conversations and activities, she'd recruited Allister and Wolfram into listening to the evening's third rant about the obnoxious roommate she'd been putting up with for the past while. "Like, she was gonna yell at me and then just expect me to finish cleaning up the apartment for her? I am under no obligation to do her laundry, thank you very much." 

Marcus, the other of Allister's two coworkers that had been invited, walked over to take a seat by the fire just in time to catch what was being discussed and followed up with, "I mean, you gotta remember, Sadie. This is the same girl that thought she'd just hand in a Wikipedia article for one of her college assignments. You think she thinks this stuff through?"

Allister's eyebrows furrowed as he stared into the fire and tried to parse that statement. "Wait, as in she plagiarized a Wikipedia article, right?" Surely Marcus hadn't literally meant -

"I mean, I guess it's still plagiarism if you download an entire Wikipedia page and send it to your professor, yeah."

Oh. Allister nodded, struggling for something to say to that, but quickly gave up. Even if that anecdote weren't so absurd that it demanded speechlessness, he'd been content to let his friends steer the conversations of the night. Allister was just glad to hear what they'd been up to as of late, as well as to have a chance to sit outside and enjoy the wilderness. Crickets chirped in the trees of the woods and stars coated the sky up above, making a beautiful sight. 

That sight had been one of his favorite things about moving out here from the city. The other being that he'd been able to meet Wolfram. Wolfram who had spent the first part of the evening nearly dozing off by the fire after the walk to the group's meetup spot, but looked to have regained some energy now that he'd been sitting down for a while. He hadn't bothered to take part in the conversation much either and had also been focusing on either the fire or the stars for most of the night.  Allister wasn't very surprised, though. Considering this was the first time Wolfram had properly interacted with... anyone else in this world in person, Allister was just glad to get him out of the house. Getting into the car was still a no-go, but perhaps that would be another day.

"So, Wolfram, what do you do, anyway? You work, doing the whole 'actually trying to learn' thing, what?" Sadie asked abruptly, apparently letting the previous topic rest for now. "I don't think Allister's ever mentioned."

Allister's eyes widened and he glanced at Wolfram. The two had long ago decided not to mention the whole... 'magic and other worlds' situation to other people for any number of reasons. Not least of all being concerns as to what sort of attention Wolfram would draw as a (somewhat, at least) practiced spellcaster. It wasn't as if the pair hadn't discussed what their cover story would be to other people, but it hadn't come up very much as of yet and Allister couldn't help but worry.

Still, Wolfram seemed unphased by the question and smoothly answered, "I'm a writer. Primarily focusing on short fiction at the moment."

"Whoa, cool," Sadie said with a grin. "What do you write, like, romance, fantasy, sci-fi? Romance? I'm into romance if you've got any of that."

"Apologies, no. It is fantasy, my current project is a series of stories taking place in the same setting, so right now much of my time working on it is spent on world-building."

Allister was impressed at Wolfram's confidence in that answer. Sadie nodded, reaching into the cooler near her for a drink. "Neat. I don't actually read a whole lot, so no promises, but I'll try and give it a look when it's done. Either of you guys wants a beer?" She held up an extra can and tapped on the side with one nail.

"No, thank you," Wolfram said.

Allister shrugged. "Yeah, sure, I'll have one."

Sadie aimed to toss it to Allister but realized the fire between them might pose a problem. Rather than stand up and walk around it, she settled for instead trying to throw the can around the fire at an awkward angle, which resulted in it flying off to the side and rolling across the ground a bit. Marcus stared at Sadie with eyebrows raised.

"Uh, I think we can let that one settle there for a while," Allister said, standing from his seat to grab a can from the cooler. "Let's not ask you to throw things when you've had alcohol."

Sadie objected by holding up her freshly-opened can and saying, "Hey, this is my first one, Alli!"

"That was a sober throw?" Wolfram asked.

"Wait, shit. Okay, yeah, let's say I was drunk for that."

For a while longer, the conversation shifted back and forth through various topics among the group. Eventually, though, Allister glanced over to the trees around the campsite. He leaned closer to Wolfram and asked, "Hey, you wanna go for a walk?"

"A walk?" Wolfram leaned against Allister's shoulder. "Where did you intend to go?"

"Nowhere, in particular. I just wanted to stretch my legs and get away from the fire for a bit. We don't gotta go far."

Wolfram thought for a moment, then said, "We walked here and have to do so again to get home, so I would rather not. Feel free to enjoy yourself, though, so long as you don't end up lost."

"You sure?"

"I'm not frightened of people, Allister," Wolfram said with a smile. "I can handle any questions your cousin directs at me. Either that or I can ask her something about her housemate and let her talk for another thirty minutes."

"Hmm, I guess so. Alright then, if you're sure. I'll make sure I can still see the fire anyway." Allister stood up, stretching a bit, noting that Sadie and Marcus had both wandered off to the rest of the group and were yelling into someone's phone at Vincent, demanding they return from whatever had distracted them on their snack run. Allister had meant to tell them he'd be back shortly but figured he wouldn't disrupt anything if he just stepped away from the campsite.

Once he'd gotten some distance away, he noticed how quiet it was out in the woods. He hadn't been aware of the background noise his social circle's chatter made until he could hear the contrast in nature's quiet cricket chirps. It was nice out here. Much more Allister's pace than when he lived out in the city with his family, but this was the first time he'd taken the time to stop and appreciate it even after moving out here.

He leaned back against a tree, occasionally sipping the beer he'd brought with him, and started searching the stars for any constellations he knew. The answer was none, he'd always been terrible at telling constellations apart and never knew where one ended and another began, but at least they were pretty.

Allister's thoughts were interrupted, unfortunately, as a strong hiccup shook through his chest. 'HUP!' He raised a hand to his chest in surprise and instinctively tried to muffle the next 'HMK!' to follow, his own hiccups startling him as they broke the silence.

"Why n - HULP - now..." he mumbled to himself. As usual, Allister's hiccups were fast and obnoxiously loud. Considering it was almost unheard of for his cases to start up with no reason, he cast an accusatory look at the beer can in his hand. "Thi - HUC - this is you - HIC - your fault - HUC-UP!" He sighed - or tried to with yet another hiccup interrupting - and turned his attention back up to the stars.

Allister had planned to try to wait out his hiccups in the hopes they'd stop on their own. He preferred not to return to the party only to be a distraction for everyone. Unfortunately, he did wait for some time, looking back at the campfire now and then and eventually checking his phone to see that almost fifteen minutes had passed. It was becoming apparent that just the same as the hiccups didn't typically start without reason, they wouldn't stop on their own anytime soon either. 

Allister grimaced at that thought. He had wanted to be back by now, but here he was instead, without even so much as a bottle of water to try to solve the problem. He hated what he was contemplating, but he hated leaving Wolfram on his own even more. So, without putting too much thought into what a terrible decision he was making, Allister inhaled deeply and held his breath. In the past, that had always been a terrible idea, but maybe that had always been a coincidence?

Successfully holding his breath with hiccups leaping through his chest every other second proved to be more difficult than he remembered, and it felt like he ran out of air much faster than he would have otherwise. And he was forced to give up that effort and breathe fresh air when his hiccups abruptly became faster.

Allister immediately regretted his decision. "Wa - HUP - wait - HUC-UP - please ju - HIC! HIGK - just - HUK-ULP - h-hold on - HIC!" His attempt at talking his hiccups into calming down did little to help. Even worse, they had gotten stronger and were starting to hurt now. Allister would have said it was because his own body seemingly wanted him to suffer, but he knew this was his mind's fault instead, for thinking holding his breath might seriously work this time.

"Allister?"

Allister jumped when he realized Wolfram was now standing next to him. When that had happened, he had no idea. "Fr - HUP! HIC-ULP! - Fram, I - HUC-UP! HIGK! - what - HIC!"

Wolfram reached out and patted Allister gently on his back, a look of concern on his face. "Everyone at the fire is currently engaged in a round of trivia about media that is flying completely over my head, so I thought I would come to find you. And it didn't take me very long to hear where you were... Are you alright? Those sound worse than usual, somehow."

Unable to form anything even remotely close to a proper sentence at the moment, Allister could only answer with, "B - HIGK-UP - bad ch - HIC! HUC-ULP - choices - HUP!"

"I'm not sure what that - oh. Allister, did you try to stop them by holding your breath?"

Allister nodded.

"Haven't you told me that's the one thing you absolutely cannot do?"

Allister answered with another nod and a whine between hiccups.

"And why in the world would you do that?" Wolfram asked. "From what I was last aware, there are plenty of drinks available that you could have cured them with instead. That's at least had a partial success rate before."

At first, Allister contemplated how to phrase the answer in a way that his hiccups would allow, then settled for pulling up a note app on his phone and typing. 'I didn't want to bother anybody. My hiccups aren't exactly subtle.'

Wolfram stared at the message, thinking. "I hardly think anyone present tonight would mind as much as you think. You honestly did not need to make yourself suffer like this."

'Suffer' sounded melodramatic, but considering he was still putting up with nonstop hiccup after hiccup, Allister figured it wasn't exactly wrong. 'I know it was a dumb idea. But everyone's having fun, and I didn't want to be a problem.'

"Honestly, Allister, you worry too much about these things..." Wolfram sighed. "Though I... have also hidden in a crate to avoid being seen with hiccups, so... perhaps I am not the best person to hear this from."

"You - HIGK-ULP - what?" Allister asked, too surprised by that statement to bother typing his response on his phone.

Staring down at the ground and fidgeting a bit, Wolfram mumbled, "I, um, it was rarely an issue back home but I... did have a particularly stubborn case at one point and... Hiding away until they stopped seemed ideal..."

"But a - HUC! HIC - a crate?"  

"It - I panicked, I was in one of the Academia Arcana's storerooms to retrieve spell materials and - and I heard someone outside the door - the details aren't important. My point is, I do understand but don't do this sort of thing to yourself in the future, please."

Allister appreciated the thought, smiling at Wolfram and nodding. "Don't w - HUP! HIC-UP - worry, I - HIC - I won't."

"Good. Now then, I'll fetch you some water. Wait here, I'll be quick about it."

After a minute or two, Wolfram returned with a bottle of water, which Allister accepted gladly, trying and failing to state his gratitude, "Th - HIGK - thank y - HULP - you, F - HUC-ULP - Fra -"

"Just drink it," Wolfram interrupted. 

Allister did so, drinking the water in quick gulps between each hiccup. It took a few tries, but eventually, they slowed down somewhat and finally came to a stop entirely. He waited for a few seconds, still unsure if he'd genuinely been cured at first, but then finally sighed with relief.

"Better?"

"Much," Allister said. "Thanks, Fram."

Wolfram smiled and leaned his weight against Allister's side. "Very good. Shall we be returning to the camp?"

"Hmm..." Allister wrapped an arm around Wolfram's shoulder. "It is getting a bit cold, huh? I guess we should." He paused for a moment, then added, "But... Hey, how about we have a real camping trip sometime soon?"

"We won't have an oven for you to cook proper meals, then," Wolfram objected.

"I mean, I guess not. But you've never had s'mores before. Those are best when they're toasted over a campfire."

"I've heard of those... what are they?"

"Chocolate and marshmallows, Fram."

Wolfram's eyes widened at the statement, clearly intrigued. "When is your next day off? We can do it then."

Allister laughed and hugged Wolfram closer. "Okay, we'll talk about it when we get home. C'mon, let's head back to the camp before Sadie comes to chase us down."

Ristar JPN-exclusive passwords

In Ristar, you can enter “passwords” (AKA cheat codes) in the options menu. There are a total of 17 passwords, 8 of which are exclusive to the Japanese version of the game. You can actually find out these passwords in-game if you complete the bonus stages, but those are hard-to-find and pretty challenging sometimes, so...

This is Part 1 of a post (though they don't necessarily have to be viewed in order). Part 2 is here!

AAAAAA

This password you can activate completely by accident---Trust me, I have. But despite being so easy to find, this cheat code is actually pretty useful: It gives you infinite continues, so in the case you keep losing all of your lives you are never sent back to the title screen unless you let the game do so.

STAR

A shooting star, well, shoots across the background. That’s it. This password does nothing else. Go home.

MACCHA [まっちゃ]

Y’all want the final boss’s area to be the colour of green tea powder? Because that is all this password does. It effects literally no other stage, no other boss. In my opinion, it makes the Big Bad stand out against the background better. So if you have troubles with the final boss because he’s hard to see for some reason, it might be worth it to give this password a try.

MASTER

It mentions the next game, which, unfortunately for me, the one person who has been thinking about Ristar ever since I got my hands on the rom, hasn’t actually happened. Bummer. “Please wait for next story, thank you...” SEGA please it’s been 26 years---

HETAP

During demos, it shows the lowest score you’ve had upon beating the game or getting a game-over, instead of your highest score.

CANDY

This password makes you invincible... Hold on a minute. Invincible... Candy... Hmm. Well, it makes you nearly invincible. The attacks of some bosses still do damage, but since you’ll pretty much never die in any other circumstance, this cheat is worth using. But if you feel fancy...

FEEL

“Feel” is the name of one of Ristar’s earliest designs, so this password is a cute little nod to that. And this passwords is special: It is actually many passwords combined! Since you can’t have multiple passwords active at the same time, this password is a blessing for those who aim to grind for the highest score---or just want to chill whilst playing the game and not have to deal with dying, finding that one secret treasure, or getting through multiple stages to get to their favourite level.

This password combines the effects of “CANDY”, “MIEMIE”, and “ILOVEU”, making you (nearly) invincible, marking secret treasure spots with blue stars, and allowing you to select which stage you want to start your run on.

VALDI

Gives you a bird-eye view of the Valdi solar system, which (dare I say) is gorgeous, despite the 16-bit graphics of the Mega Drive. You can zoom in and rotate your view, but the sprites don’t get bigger or smaller the “closer” you get, and they’ll disappear completely if you get too close. You can also have a little fun guessing which planets are which.

[elecman108]

It’s been almost a whole month that I’ve been working on this, so I may as well finish it and upload it. Happy Summer everyone! I hope the weather’s been great and maybe sometime soon we can all go out to the beach and hang out with our friends.

But until then, keep wearing your masks, social distancing, and getting vaccinated.

Am I going to name all my OCs? Yes. And give them pronouns? Hell yeah. From left-most to right-most, based on approximate head placement, up to down if there’s two that more or less line up.

Theo (he/they), Seven (he/him), Tempest (he/him), Ender-Sona (any pronouns), Akira (he/they), Katlynn (she/her), Marina (she/her), Warlock (he/him), Blaze (he/him), Lailah (she/her), Mask (presently she/her, but it changes), Myuut (he/him), Stella (she/her), Alren (he/him), Vic (she/her), Virgo (she/her), Hunter (he/him), Mona (she/her), Alpha (he/him), Lana (she/her), Ender (she/her), Wendy (she/her), Cecillia (she/her), Axel (he/him), Assassin (she/her). Ender-Sona is me, while Ender is my OC of the same name.

...Hoo that’s a lot! And I was thinking of adding some more up in the sky flying about (such as Kress, Roko, and Lilith to name a few) but I decided this was too many already and I had to cut it off before too many idiots got together and made an idiot-singularity.

--

Some of my personal favourite sections of this:

-Axel’s clearly bragging about some of the beasts he’s killed to Assassin and Cecillia. Is Assassin impressed? No. Is Cecillia impressed? Also no. But are they enjoying hearing Axel talk about things? Of course. They get to make fun of him for not knowing words and he learns things. It’s a win-win.

-Tempest. Just Tempest. Look at this guy. He’s acting like a lifeguard for all these idiots. What a wonderful man. Also I am directly next to him yelling and causing trouble and he’s just there smiling away and making sure no one gets hurt.

-Blaze is in an inner tube. This man is going to wash out to sea if he’s not careful. Also Marina behind him has a white/green/red beach ball that I kept deciding was the “italian beach ball”. There are other nations with that colour scheme. My brain decided italian. Meatball. Yes.

-Mona clearly debating burying Alpha in sand while poor Alpha contends with having overheated in the sun. Lana is there with her medical bag in case anything happens and Hunter is debating helping Mona bury the robot in the sand.

-VIC IS MUSCULAR AND I AM IN LOVE WITH HER ABS. AAAAAA-

-Warlock may look like he’s everyone’s grandfather, but he’s just a few years older than Alren. And Mr. Grandpa-lookin-ass has gotten Lailah some Boba Tea and is going to join her and the wine-drinking Mask on the beach towel and chat. What a blessed man.

-Alren is being a dad-friend and bringing people watermelon. The angle makes it look like he’s looking at either Vic or Myuut, so you can decide if it’s dad energy (aimed at Vic) or friend energy (aimed at Myuut) lmao.

Phantom Thief Hanako-kun AU Story: Chapter 6 - Back in the Early Heist Days

Flashback time!

Let's take a pause from what happened in the previous chapter and backtrack to the past~!

We'll be mainly sticking with Kou for this.

This happened before the first chapter!

Enjoy!

---

-Phantom Thief Hanako released a heist notice to steal yet another jewel

-The detectives and police force were working together to strengthen security

-This thief was astonishingly outwitting them all if he never failed a heist

-Minamoto Kou, younger brother of Teru who is one of the top policemen, was just starting out his career as a new police officer

-His first mission was to join some police officers to capture Hanako

-Teru couldn't join the team during the heist since he was busy taking care of other more serious offenses

-So he was cheering Kou on for the time being, congratulating him on officially becoming part of the police force

-While Kou aimed to be like his brother, he admired a certain radish girl Yashiro Nene

-They didn't really know each other right now

-Before, Kou just came to visit the police station and departments to give lunch to Teru and make sure he's eating properly

-And it was a coincidence that Kou saw Yashiro with Detective Tsuchigomori as they came by at the same time

-Seeing Yashiro working hard on cases became part of his motivation to also work to fight crime along with Teru

-and so she was a Senpai to him in the field and a current acquaintance

-Kou was hoping he could get closer to Yashiro

-Preparing a small bouquet of pink flowers, he wanted to present them to her to make a good impression since they would be working together from now on

-On the day of the heist, he went to look for her with the flowers in hand

-When he found her with Tsuchigomori, he immediately went to hide behind a wall

-Kou peeked over and noticed that they were talking about the heist

-Would right now be a good time to give them?

-He stopped peeking to gather himself together before deciding to head over, feeling nervous

-Only to realize that the moment he let them out of his sight, they were already gone

-Darn, he missed his chance

-Well, it will be okay. He could see them again at the heist itself

-He tucked the flowers in his pockets

-The location of the heist was at a hotel owned by Akane

-Kou heard from Teru that Hanako would go steal from Akane from time to time

-He couldn't help but wonder how the gem collector was dealing with the situation

-Night time arrived and a small crowd gathered

-Not too many people knew of Hanako yet but already there were a few reporters at the scene and word had spread

-Kou was looking around when he accidentally bumped into someone

-"Hey! Watch the camera, Lame-ass Traffic safety Earring!"

-Kou: "Oh sorry--wait what?"

-Kou looked to see a pink haired boy with a scarf and camera on. He seemed to be around Kou's age

-Kou: "Do you know who you're talking to?"

-Mitsuba: "No. Should I?"

-Wow, this guy was testing his patience

-Kou: "Geez. Look at my uniform. I'm a police officer."

-Mitsuba: "Okay, police officer. Now could you let me go? I gotta take photos for the papers."

-Kou's eyes widened as he looked down at Mitsuba's camera he's holding

-Kou: "Oh! Are you a photographer?"

-Mitsuba: "Well I'm a journalist but I guess--"

-Kou: "THAT'S SO COOL! Sorry for bumping into your camera! What's your name?"

-Mitsuba was surprised at Kou's outburst. He felt a little embarassed all of a sudden.

-Mitsuba: "....Mitsuba Sousuke."

-Kou: "I'm Minamoto Kou! Nice to meet you! I can't wait to see all of your work!"

-Mitsuba: "I've done a few already but I'm still new at my job so my writing isn't that great."

-Kou: "That's okay! My reading isn't that great either!"

-Kou gave a thumbs up at that.

-Mitsuba: "Reading and writing are two different things. Also, I don't think you should be proud of that pff"

-Kou: "Hm? Is that so?"

-Mitsuba: "Anyways, I'll be going to the hotel rooftop to take pictures of the cityscape from there. Would you like to come along? There should still be time before the heist"

-Kou: "Sure! Let's go!"

-And so they are both at the rooftop chattering away as Mitsuba took photos with his camera

-Kou: "Huh so you like taking pictures of animals and landscape stuff. How about photos of people?"

-Mitsuba: "I do take them as well. The papers get way more media attention that way anyways."

-Kou: "How about taking one of me? I'll be the ultimate subject! Just call it 'Police Officer Minamoto Kou Makes His Debut'!"

-Mitsuba: "Hm....No thank you."

-Kou: "Aw come on! I want to be in the papers!"

-Kou tried to grab the camera from Mitsuba

-Mitsuba: "Hey wait a minute!"

-Kou: "Just a bit!"

-"Two gentlemen fighting on the rooftop? That's quite dangerous."

-Kou and Mitsuba looked over to find the the phantom thief Hanako standing near the edge of the roof

-When did he get there?

-Oh wait, did the heist start already?!

-They lost track of time!

-Kou: "Hanako!"

-Hanako: "I will be taking the treasure~"

-Hanako showed them the jewel in his hand.

-Kou: "Oh no you don't!"

-Kou rushed towards him and Hanako just dodged Kou's attacks, keeping the jewel out of reach

-As they got closer to the edge of the building, a sudden strong gust of wind burst forth

-Knocking the jewel out of Hanako's hand

-and the pink flowers from Kou's pocket

-Ah. The flowers. Kou completely forgot about them

-Both items were being blown away far apart from each other and off the roof

-Kou: "Oh no the flowers!!"

-That was Kou's immediate response

-Hanako ran and jumped to grab the flowers, dismissing the jewel

-He just jumped off the roof without a thought

-That madlad

-Kou's body moved and he managed to reach and grab onto Hanako's legs to prevent his fall from the roof

-Hanako was a bit heavy so Kou was having trouble lifting him up and they were right at the edge

-Mitsuba grabbed onto Kou and they both were able to lift Hanako up to safety

-Kou was shocked at Hanako's sudden move

-Kou: "Why did you just risk your life for a bunch of flowers?!"

-He couldn't understand

-Hanako also let that jewel drop!

-Hanako: "These are important to you, no?"

-Kou was rendered speechless at Hanako's words

-What kind of thief was that considerate?

-Hanako: "I'm sure you wanted to give these to someone. Also, I got my equipment on me so I wouldn't have fell to my death but thank you anyways"

-Hanako handed the flowers back to Kou and took a bow

-A racket of footsteps and shouts came from the door leading to the rooftop

-Hanako: "Welp, time's up, my fellow gentlemen. Perhaps we'll meet again~"

-Hanako escaped using his smoke bomb as a smoke screen

-Kou and Mitsuba coughed through it and once the smoke cleared, Hanako was gone

-The door slammed open to reveal a frantic Akane, panicked Yashiro, and a curious Aoi

-Akane: "AAAAAA NOOOOO we're too late!"

-Kou: "Huh? What are you talking about?"

-Yashiro: "Hanako made off with the jewel!"

-Kou: "Wait but I saw the jewel drop down the building. I apologize about--"

-Akane: "That must have been a fake! I prepared fake copies but he saw through my plan and still stole them anyways. He already stole the real one when I wasn't looking, since it was in a different location. That bastard thief!"

-Kou:

-Kou: "HAAAH?! Wait, why didn't I know about this??"

-Mitsuba: "Ahhh drama between the police and the gem collector once again. Why do you guys think he managed to get away?"

-Aoi: "So the rumors about Hanako were true! He's a clever mastermind!"

-Akane: "Ao-chan praising that thief....oh no no no no no that charmer did not just--"

-(Inside Akane's head of delusional fantasies):

-Aoi: "Hanako-sama! Please take me with you!"

-Hanako: "My dear sweet lady, I shall come for you as my next prize~"

[They fly and get farther away as Akane runs after them]

-Akane: [reaches out] "AO-CHAN! NO WAIT I LOVE YOU!"

-Aoi: "Hm 1 point~. Farewell Akane-kun! Please forget about me. I'm eloping with him now ♡"

[End of delusion]

-Akane: 'AAAAAAAA NO THAT CANNOT HAPPEN! IT ALL BACKFIRED!! I should not have brought Ao-chan here...Now I gotta watch out for not just that Teru bastard but also him aaaargh!'

-They were all staring at Akane leaning against the wall, agonizing

-Akane: [mumbling] " 'If we met under different circumstances, we could have been friends' my ass you thief, not when you're flirting with Ao-chan you son of a-"

-Kou: "Uh...is he okay? He's been leaning against that wall, mumbling weird stuff"

-Aoi: "He'll be okay ♡. Akane-kun's a big boy"

-Mitsuba nudged Kou

-Mitsuba: "Minamoto-kun, there's something you want to do, right?"

Kou: "Huh? Oh! Right!"

-Kou approached Yashiro who was zoning out, looking a bit troubled

-Yashiro: [mumbling to herself] "Aah~ I can't believe I got lost again...it's a good thing I found Akane-kun and Aoi along the way"

-Kou: "Um! Senpai!"

-Yashiro snapped out of her thoughts

-Yashiro: "Me?"

-Kou: "My name is Minamoto Kou. I'm a new police officer in the workforce so I'll be in your care! These are for you!"

-Kou handed the pink flowers over to Yashiro

-Yashiro: [smiles brightly as she received them] "Thank you! They're so pretty! I think I've seen you around. I'm Yashiro Nene. It will be a pleasure working with you!"

-Kou flustered as steam came out of his head and his heart felt like an arrow shot through it

-He may have developed a slight crush

-Kou: "Y-you're welcome! And I-I look forward to it too!"

-Kou turned around to see Mitsuba, trying to distract himself

-Kou: "Mitsuba! Did you get any good pictures?"

-Mitsuba, taking a look at his camera, smiled to himself

-He had taken a few photos of Kou without him realizing

-Mistuba: "Mhm. I sure did~"

---

-As Hanako walked casually through an alleyway, he heard footsteps coming closer and he stopped

-He didn't have to look back to know who it is

-This happened often enough after all

-Hanako smiled

-Hanako: "Of all the people who could actually capture me if serious, you sure don't really take me seriously."

-He turned anyways to face the person responsible for the noises

-Hanako: "Great detective Tsuchigomori."

-Tsuchigomori stood in the alleyway as Hanako figured, looking at him nonchalantly

-Hanako: "What is this, a game of catch and release?"

-Tsuchigomori: "Hmph so you really did go this way. There wouldn't be many people here after all. It's a good escape route."

-Hanako: "Why didn't you tell the police?"

-Tsuchigomori: "They need to learn for themselves. Seriously incompetent if they can't capture a single person. Besides, I realized there's more to your stealing. I haven't figured out why exactly though."

-Hanako: "Oho I see. So that's what you care about. Curious?"

-Tsuchigomori: "I'm too busy for that now. I have an apprentice to look after....who apparently got lost since she's supposed to be with me..."

-Hanako: "Oh? You have an apprentice?"

-Tsuchigomori: "I'm showing her the ropes for now. And then, she'll be taking over my place to capture you."

-Hanako: "What, great detective? Aw, I'll miss you! Things won't be the same"

-Tsuchigomori: "Oh don't worry. You'll find her to be quite a persistent one."

-Hanako: "Heh~ Interesting!"

-Hanako vanished from sight using his fancy garment and smoke bomb for the second time, saying one last thing.

-Hanako: "I'll keep that in mind."

DGS #685's Danwashitsu: Kamiya & Ono's exchanged diary.

(Question from DearGirl: "[...] How can you two have couragement to deal with your old selfs?")

#1.

「Dear "dear Ono-kun",

Thank you for the curry you gave me before. The curry which Ono-kun made had a lots of vegetable. I thought that even if Ono-kun had noticed about my health, or I was over-thinking? Next time, I will make a meal for Ono-kun, how about eating hot pot together?」

「Dear "dear Kamiya-san"

You ate my curry? I was a bit worried because putting the curry without any words before your house, then you knew it was the curry I made and I was happy. You ate it even if I hung it on the door? By the way, the pot sounds good. Then after the meal, shall we go to the IKEA together?」

#2.

「Dear "dear Ono-kun",

IKEA was fun. Actually just in time, I wanted to buy a sofa. Because of Ono-kun's recommendation, I bought a quite big sofa. But for a person who lived alone like me, the sofa was so big that a half of it was encroached upon the balcony. However, it was Ono-kun's choice; therefore, I would smile and wouldn't care much about that. I couldn't imagine that kind of myself.」

「Dear "dear Kamiya-san",

IKEA was fun. I doubt that it would have a day I came to Sweden IKEA with Kamiya-san. Just because of buying a sofa, we had a trip 5 days-4 nights. It was risk, wasn't it? Ah I know it, if I went to the northern IKEA, it just took us an hour by car. This meant you wanted to be by my side a bit longer, right? I know that. Next time I will sit on the sofa in Kamiya-san's house.」

#3.

「Dear "dear Ono-kun",

I thought about when coming home and seeing Ono-kun sat on the sofa, somehow I was astonished. Something was like "surprised", you know. Moreover, the lock of my house was broken. "Oh dear!", I thought that, it could be Ono-kun broke it? Nonetheless, even if Ono-kun did it, I would smile while forgiving you. I couldn't except myself could become like that.

P.S: Even now the lock is still damaged. That means you won't need a duplicated key, right?」

「Dear "dear Kamiya-san",

I was not the one who broke the lock. I just went to Kamiya-san's house without permission/warning then saw it was unlocked, thus sat on the sofa. Perhaps Kamiya-san was being aimed by someone? I understood. I (will) protect Kamiya-san. From today I will live at Kamiya-san's house temporary!

P.S: Please prepare a teethbrush with hard threads for me.」

Bonus:

Kamiya Hiroshi: AAAAAA Our 10 years have been done!! 2020 there is nobody wants "Kamiya Hiroshi và Ono Daisuke coupling" anymore!!

Ono Daisuke: That means only Hyorotto Danshi (Umehara Yuuichirou & Nishiyama Koutarou's radio) and DameRaji (Ishikawa Kaito & Saitou Souma's radio) are required!!

● Notice and my opinion:

- Well, this is my longest DGS' translation as far in both my mother tongue and English, I can't believe it!! Since I'm bad at English as well as Japanese, surely it has so many mistakes. Please correct me, I will be really glad!!

- About Dear "dear Ono-kun/Kamiya-san", the original line was 「Dear Ono-kun/Kamiya-san he」. As I know, "he"/「へ」 in Japanese that way means "Dear someone", so the "dear" in the original maybe meant "beloved", I believe that.

- We cannot know if the story was true because DGS #685 was the first time they shared about this, like went to Sweden just because of a sofa wwwwww And they were as silly as they are right now; therefore, please enjoy this episode's danwashitsu corner!

- By the way, I'm deeply impressive at Daisuke's line: 「神谷さんは僕が守ります」/"I will protect Kamiya-san." I can't express my feeling whenever I listen Daisuke's voice told that words to Hiroshi, it seems I might cry. And I love the way Hiroshi knew Daisuke made a curry for him, too!! It's too sweet, awwww

- The "coupling" word, it was original words from Hiroshi's mouth. It doesn't mean as "couple" or in romantic way, it is the same as "combination". But you can imagine everything you like wwwwww I love onokami, but kami////////ono is not my type absolutely...

And, the last words of those two ojisans, I know it was a joke but somehow made my heart feel bitter. Yes, they are getting more older and older day by day, they have aged a lot while the number of young seiyuus is increasing. To be frank, in my view, although the young is doing well their jobs, they can't replace the position of seiyuu Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke in the industry either in my heart. I have known Hiroshi and Daisuke since I was in primary school and have loved them for nearly 6 years (even now I'm just a highschool student), there is no way that everyone else can effect me as much as them.

Therefore, I don't care about their doubt, I will continue loving them pernamently. I will always by their side, and the only one thing I want say is: "Please keep smiling, laughing like that. Please be happy as always."

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

(Crown) AH YES YOU FOUND THE GOLD AND SILVER THRESHOLD CUTSCENES,, I'll be honest, they are SO fucking insane and I love them so much. The Silver one is my favorite because Bob is just like "BE MY FRIEND! BE MY FRIEND! I BOW TO YOU! AAAAAA!!!" and its GREAT. I personally aim to try to reach them one day,,, one day.

Me: hey I found the weird cut scenes in Headrush. The fuck is this game

You, wisely:

I think the Silver threshold also serves to just show that Bob really is lonely and has major self-esteem issues when he immediately backs off saying he's no longer worthy. Poor Bob.
