OK ok OK so SO I was al work today dissociating because it's been terrible and I'm on my period and that makes everything even worse BUT it made me think about something.
Go back to the times in which only Mitsuru, Akihiko and Shinjiro were living at Iwatodai dorm. Did Mitsuru had her first period before they moved in or it just happened with the three of them already living under the same roof? I mean, given their ages there's a possibility
And even if she already had it before, can you imagine her telling them she can't go to Tartarus because she's feeling unwell and snapping at Akihiko after he inquires (insistently) what's wrong with her?
"I'm bleeding to death through my vagina, Akihiko"
And he panics and want to carry her to the hospital while Shinjiro just facepalms and watches in complete silence (not his circus not his monkeys)
I need to make a fanfic out of this

@epitomees said:
As much as Kotone wished to involve the others for her plan, she knew it wouldn't please Shinjjiro in the slightest. A quiet, reserve, and hardened guy like him refused most, if not all of the dorm's hangout sessions unless they were a one-on-one deal. No large gatherings, and definitely no unnecessary attention drawn to himself. This made it all the more difficult in figuring out a decent strategy to celebrate his birthday. For one thing, the red-head only recently acquired this information thanks to Akihiko-senpai, which didn't give her ample time to prepare something for the occasion.
It looked like he'd get his wish, after all. A quiet, neglected day...so he thought.
Once the school bell announced the end of the day, Kotone quickly typed out a message to Shinjiro asking him to meet her at the fountain, implying a sense of urgency near the end. Avoiding the dorm seemed to be her best option if she wanted to draw him out of his room. She took residence at one of the benches, setting down a brown paper bag off to the side and out of view. It looked ordinary, non-suspicious, nothing for Shinji to worry over when he arrived. The sight of his signature maroon jacket brightened her smile more. She waved him over, enthusiastic in her gestures as it was quite common with the SEES leader.
"Glad you can make it, Senpai!" Once he joined her, Kotone carefully rummaged in the paper bag until she pulled out his first gift. A cupcake packaged in a cupcake-shaped plastic container for easy transportation. "I was wondering if you could um....try my new baking creation. I made it in cooking club! Felt a little experimental this time around, aaaaand well...knowing you and all, I figured why not hear how it tastes from the best!" She scooted a little closer only for her to start pointing out the cupcake's flavor and appearance. "I used a vanilla cinnamon flavor for the base, then added in some brown sugar and caramel mixture as a filling to give it a sweeter, subtle flavor. The icing was a little harder to make though since I was going for a vanilla caramel whipped texture."
But it looked pretty good! She thought it came out decent, but she knew Shinji would be the final judgement.
"I hope you like it-OH! Yeah, hang on! I got you something too while I was waiting!" His second gift ; a manga book. "I only read the back description soooo I'm not sure how good it is, but it's about these demons that enter a cooking competition in order to becoming the Lord of the Underworld's personal chefs. I thought you'd enjoy it!"
Shinjiro's birthday | Accepting
Shinjiro rose from his bed at his usual time, although sleeping until it got dark and forgetting about this day was a cruel temptress. If only food and water weren't necessities for the human body to function properly... he'd be fine with it. Zero attention, zero care apart from his old childhood friends who each got him something special on his desk. Even a simple birthday card was nice but meaningless to him.
There was no point in celebrating anything when he didn't know when his time would be up.
And yet, someone messaged him while he was getting a drink from the vending machine at the station. Opening up his cell phone, he noticed the name on the screen. Kotone - their leader, who was asking him to meet her at the fountain of Paulownia Mall for some kind of emergency.
As if he cared, but he went there anyway, taking his time. The sight of red hair in a ponytail told him that he found her quickly, and as he expected, her cheerful demeanor was still ever so present in contrast to his broody mood.
Tumblr media
"Ya don't have to act so innocent. Aki and Kirijo told you, I'm guessin'." Why wouldn't they? Those idiots were still causing him trouble. "Whatever. Lemme try it." Taking note of her description, he rotated it in his hand, looking it over before taking his first bite. "Hm... light and fluffy, not overcooked..." He murmured thoughtfully. "The brown sugar is a little too much with the vanilla cinnamon, but overall... a good effort." That's the highest praise she'll ever get out of him.
He was baffled by his second gift, raising an eyebrow. "Demons... who want to become personal chefs? The hell kinda shit do they come up with? I'm not much of a manga reader, but... I guess it's worth a shot. Just..." He groaned in irritation, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. "Don't bother with spending money on me, no matter how cool ya think it is. It's fine. It doesn't matter that much."

Okay The Hashira taking care of a half human half demon baby? Like the baby can survive on human food and animals and are repulsed by human blood. Like the babies basically are found trying to explore new things like Nezuko in a way
Tumblr media
Demon slayer masterlist Demons with baby reader
✿✼:*゚:.。..。.:*・゚゚・**・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*゚:*:✼✿ 
Shinjuro held you in the air and examined you. Kyojuro left you with his father while he and senjuro went to the market.
Leaving you with a former Hashira wasn't a good idea in hindsight but who would kill a child.
"Half human half demon huh?" He muttered to himself as he watched you move in his arms.
He lowered you to where you were nestled on his chest and he laid back.
Shinjiro and kyojuro came back to see you and their father asleep on the floor in your room.
-------
Giggles could be heard in the Tengen ousehold as it was dinner time.
Tengen was rolling on the floor with you as the girls made dinner.
"Hope the both of you worked up an appetite." Hina came in giggling at her husband on his back with you on his stretched-out feet.
"Ahh lord Tengen you have to be careful with them. They're just a child." Suma came in fusing over to pick you up
-------
Obanai didn't know how to take care of a child so he went to the closest person he knew, Mitsuri.
"Aww look how cute Obanai they eat human food." She gushed as she feed you.
Obanai watched in adoration as he couldn't help but think about how good she is with kids (people in general)
"Cool." Such a shallow response that held back everything he actually wanted to say.
If only he could tell her. (😭)
-------
"What am I supposed to do with you." Sanemi muttered as you crawled all over your temporary bedroom (a small room he didn't know what to do with).
"what do you eat?" He kneeled down to your height. You crawled up to him, using his knees to try and stand.
He poked your stomach causing you to lose balance and fall. You stared up at him, He stared down at you.
you started to huff.
'oh no' the thought 'they're gonna cry'
and cry you did. You screamed your lungs out as he tried everything to calm you down. He even tried to feed you his blood, which only made you scream louder.
He got you to calm down by giving you Ohagi. Turns out you love it almost as much as he does.
------
"Time to go to bed Y/n." Giyuu said as he watched you play with your toys for like two hours.
You turned to him before giggling. Unfortunately for Giyuu, you knew how to run. You stood up and got ready for an unwanted game of tag and hide n seek.
"Don't even try, It's time for bed." Giyuu also got ready as this isn't the first time this happened.
In fact, this happens most nights and Giyuu is always the winner.
You ran out of the room with Giyuu close behind you. You rounded the corner at full speed. Too much speed. You hit the wall. Giyuu was quick to pick you up.
"This is why we don't run in the house." He comforted you by rubbing your head and bringing you to your room. You were asleep in his arms as he laid you down.
------
All Muichirou wanted to do was train but since you were assigned to him his attention was all on you.
Currently, the 2 of you were having a staring contest as you both ate. You copied his movements, and he would just watch.
You never cried, screamed, or made much noise. You and Muichirou got along great.
He brought you to every Hashira meeting and he let you do your own thing.
-----
"Bu" you called to Shinobu from the pin she put you in. It was the only word you could say.
She looked up from her work over to you. You were standing holding on to the bar of the pin.
"Ah someone finally awake." She set her work aside and went to check on you.
"Bu Bu" You squealed as she picked you up.
"I'm here. I'm here."
You were the only reason she never worked herself to death.

Persona Fun Facts
These are all taken from the fanbooks and novels.
So far in the series, the protagonists have managed to avert between seven and eleven "Ends of the World".
Nanako does notice her flan is missing, but assumes she ate it earlier and forgot.
Yukki has at least three younger siblings.
Dr. Nicholai, the guy who helped create the Deva System, is jewish.
Sae practices kickboxing as a hobby.
Nyarlathotep also made deals with King Solomon, Napoleon, and the actual Hitler.
The project that saw the kidnapping of 100 children to create Persona Users was called the "Artificial Persona Users Research Project"... not very original.
Theodore once adopted a shadow and named it Mochi. This shadow became so powerful it adopted the name of "Near Death".
In the Persona timeline, Tatsuzou Sudou replaced Yōhei Kōno as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, though he wouldn't be able to complete his term.
The Demon Painter first entered the Velvet Room by painting a blue door in his canvas. It is probable he finally managed to paint the Fool Arcana before P3 and left the Velvet Room, having nothing left to learn there.
The saleslady of Anima Mundi has the hots for Tatsuya.
Masataka, Maya's father, died in the Soviet-Afghan War when she was eight.
Ken has stated he wishes he had a Death Note.
Mark drew those marks under his eyes himself.
Minato sometimes muttered in his sleep about how "the end is coming". Mitsuru noticed and it worried her.
Katsuya began baking because it made baby Tatsuya happy.
Sojiro wanted to give Morgana the name of a foreign actor or singer he liked.
Ann doesn't cook because she always makes too much and its always just how she likes it, which causes her to overeat.
Shinjiro doesn't remember his Awakening.
Reiji is such a momma's boy his favorite food is listed as "Mom's home cooking".
Katsuya wakes up at 5:30. He always tries to wake Tatsuya at 7:30, but Tatsuya doesn't get up until 9.
Ken's mom once met and saved one of the kids who was part of the Artificial Persona Users Research Project.
Kubo was given a suspension from Morooka for a week, which hurt Kubo's pride so much he transferred.
If Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment are considered one long game, then their events did take place over the course of a year like the newer games, from May~ of 1999 to February of 2000.
All of this happened in the same year: Labrys and later Aigis were built, the events of P2:IS took place, Ryuji and Ann were born, the Dark Hour was created, and construction of Gekkoukan High School began.

Hello may I please request Goro Akechi, Ren Amamiya, and Shinjiro Aragaki with their partner surprising them with a very thoughtful date?
Surprising Him with a Thoughtful Data HCs (Goro Akechi, Akira Kurusu, Shinjiro Aragaki)

𝙗𝙪𝙮 𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚?
Tumblr media
Goro Akechi
Because work and life and his popularity had been keeping him busy for the past couple of weeks, he felt lucky (and a little obligated) to plan a date for the two of you since he felt he had been neglecting you to keep up with his other responsibilities
So imagine his surprise when you turn down his offer of taking you to your favorite date spot because you “already had reservations for the two of us” at that time
But when the night comes and he meets you at the location you sent him, he can’t help but be floored bc like…
Who would have thought that you’d plan something all about him when he was the one who wasn’t making time for you?????
But of course, because he’s Goro Akechi he’s gonna keep his composure when you surprise him by taking him out for a nice, long dinner at some rooftop place in the city
Though you really made his heart soar when he realized that you picked a place with some quiet live music so the two of you could chat (or not! depending on his mood) and just enjoy each other’s presence
The menu has all his favorites on it, the music is from local artists he had discovered and started listening to a couple of months ago, and you wouldn’t let him talk about anything you thought could raise his blood pressure
So most likely, the night is spent with him looking and feeling all soft as he stares out and enjoys the scenery while holding your hand over the table
Truly, this date with you was just so nice and gentle and sweet and just decompressing
It was exactly what he needed (or rather, you’re exactly what he needed hehe <3
Tumblr media
Akira Kurusu
Although he’s probably busy himself, Akira tends to make a lot of time and does most of the date planning because he’s a romantic hehe (i swear on my life he is, he has to be)
So the one time he let you take the reigns and plan a date, you wanted it to be super special
So you plan: treating him to a delicacy that’s famous in his hometown……anddd learning how to cook it with him!
It’s not much but you remember how he talked about missing when he could eat that local delicacy whenever he wanted but how it was difficult to find it in Tokyo
So the moment he realized that was your plan, he was pretty smitten
It was something so simple but it showed that not only do you care and listen to what he says, but you also wanted to cook with him- something he only recently realized he loved
So that whole day was spent munching on food that reminded him of home and perfecting the recipe (that turned out to be a bit harder than expected!!
But by the time the two of you were satisfied with your creation, Akira felt like he had fallen in love with you all over again
Only someone who truly loves him could dedicate their time and money to making a wish he had mentioned off-handedly once come true
And that someone was you- utterly perfect you! <3
Tumblr media
Shinjiro Aragaki
Okok stick with it for a second but- There’s a dog shelter that Shinjiro always lingers by right? Because there’s a few dogs he has bonded with every time he gets the balls to go in there
Including a little mutt who is way too lovable, but far from the definition of cute
So your date idea: take Shinjiro and the doggy out for a day and give the doggy a good time
That means getting pup cups and doggy treats after a nice morning walk by the water and sneaking the doggy bits and pieces of your lunch to her and then hours at the doggy park
And Shinjiro? He loves it because he spends every walk holding your hand and pet his favorite dog whenever he wants and just enjoying the excitement a cute pup brings hehe
It’s not much of a “date” per se, but with all the heavy emotions he feels and burdens he carries you figured something like this would allow him to let his guard down
He doesn’t even realize that’s what you were trying to do until way, way after the date had ended and you both were inside in his place cuddling on his bed or something
It was your way of spending quality time with him while ensuring that he could spend the whole day in a good mental state where all he could think about was the doggy and you and all the silly happy things that were happening right in front of him
He never said anything but the second he realized, his eyes started tearing up as he started to feel overwhelmed with emotion because of how much he loves you and how good you are to him
And like the good partner you were, you just held him tight and promised to keep providing him with all the good things he thought he never deserved (but you know he always did)

What kind of warmth are you?
Tumblr media
Soup on a cold day
You're caring, consistent in your kindness, and quiet in your compassion for others. You offer warmth because you were cold for a very long time. And you refuse to stand by while others suffer in the same way. Your kindness is not reckless. You count the costs, but you offer it anyway. You have a unique ability at reading people, and knowing when they have a pain that they are trying to cover up. Your love language is probably quality time, and you're usually more of a listener in conversations. You probably find yourself taking on a caretaker role with others, almost automatically. So when people try to do the same for you, please don't flinch away. Please don't withdraw into what feels like safety. There are people who are waiting to love you in the same way you have loved them. Please let them.

the things i'd do for you
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: akihiko sanada x gn!reader (+shinjiro aragaki)
summary: akihiko is a regular at the coffee shop you work at, even though he doesn't drink coffee. but there's another good reason for him to show up: you, the cute barista he has a crush on!
tags: silly & wholesome fluff, mentions of food & coffee, akihiko asking reader out on a date, shinjiro & akihiko talk about coffee + akihiko's crush on you, reader listening in on aki & shinji, wingman!shinjiro, very awkward!akihiko
Tumblr media
every day, akihiko stopped by the coffee shop you worked at to buy some coffee. he'd always get a coffee to go, yet sit down in the seat nearest to the register. you never thought much about him, until one day you noticed, that despite being a regular at the place for a few months now, the boy never once actually drank the coffee he bought!
“i don't think i ever saw him take a sip from his coffee, you know…” one of your co-workers had pointed out to you. “i've kept an eye on him the last few times he was here, but he never once drank the coffee!”
and sure enough, once you had started to pay attention to it, you noticed it too. despite spending all that money on coffee, he never once drank any of it! you wondered what his deal was, but the answer to that question came to you sooner than expected.
“here, you can have this.”
when you were heading home early from your shift one day, you spotted the white haired boy in front of the coffee shop, shoving his cup of coffee into the hands of a taller, long-haired guy. likely a friend of his.
“seriously?” the other boy huffed and laughed, taking a small sip from the coffee. “why do you even go there in the first place, if you're not drinking what you're buying?”
“i appreciate the ambience” akihiko replied, causing the other boy to almost spit out his coffee, as a dry laughter escaped his lips.
“you? appreciating the ambience? i'd have guessed that all those cakes and sweets they sell alongside the coffee would annoy a protein freak like yourself. aren't you all about a healthy lifestyle?” he teased, which caused akihiko to roll his eyes and mumble a quiet ‘shut up’.
“if it's not the coffee or the food…” his friend began to ponder, as a grin slipped onto his lips. “then which of the baristas is it? the cute brunette? maybe the tall blonde? or–”
“finish your coffee, shinji–!” akihiko huffed annoyed in response.
“i will. just one last guess, alright?” shinjiro grinned, as his eyes suddenly darted towards you. “is it the one watching us right now…?”
akihiko's head whipped around just as quickly as you pulled your phone out of your pocket to pretend like you had been busy with your own things all along. but as you heard footsteps approaching, you glanced up from your phone again, to find akihiko stopping in front of you, while his friend waited where they had stood moments ago.
“i… apologize for listening in on your conversation.” you stated, before akihiko could even say anything. “i was merely curious why you never drank the coffee and i–”
“would you… like to go out with me?”
“h-huh…?”
you stared at the boy, perplexed not only that he hadn't been angry with you, but that he had instead asked you on a date. so then, what his friend said about akihiko only showing up to the coffee shop because of the cute barista…
“i should've done that month ago, but–” akihiko sighed, struggling to find the right words. “i'm not particularly good at asking people on dates. i kinda hoped it'd come with time, but… well, clearly it didn't.”
he chuckled awkwardly, causing you to ease up a little and return a small smile. in all honesty, his awkwardness was quite endearing.
“i– i think i'd like to go on a date with you.” you replied after a short moment of consideration. akihiko's face lit up a little, as he tried to hide his excitement.
“cool! that's… cool!” he said, staring at you for a moment, before a quiet ‘oh’ left his lips and he fished his phone out of his pocket. “how about… we exchange numbers! then i can text you about when you have time for our date”
akihiko held his phone out to you and you quickly typed your number and name into it. as you returned it to him, you asked:
“anything you'd like to do?”
“anything is fine with me!” he replied. “as long as we're not getting coffee on our first date…”

persona 3 spoilers (part 2!)
pairing: shinjiro aragaki x fem!reader
tags: angst
a/n: continuation of this post. i will edit this as soon as i wake up in the morning but i told myself i will not go to bed until this leaves my drafts bc it’s been marinating for like five days. also what is the title of this two part thing??
HUGE SPOILER WARNING FOR OCTOBER IN PERSONA 3 !!!
———
it still smells like him.
the room is barren. shinjiro never wanted to leave his mark on the world, trying to erase his own existence. but, as you lie on the sheets that have yet to be changed, the subtle musky scent engulfs you.
“it still smells like him,” you repeat your thoughts aloud, as if by addressing it would make it permanent.
maybe this was weird. if he were here, standing before you, he would be staring down at you with a quirked brow. “what the hell are you doing?”
why did he come to your room that night? what purpose did he have, knowing his own fate?
you try not to cry. you’ve cried enough already, and the image of shinjiro in your head would certainly scold you, telling you to just get up and get some food with him.
but he’s not here.
sure, it’s not what he would’ve wanted, but you make yourself comfortable on his bed. it’s the least he could do after confessing his desire for you, knowing he would die the same day.
lying on your back, you allow your mind to wander. why does it feel like you’re the only one stuck in the past? how has everyone been able to bounce back so quickly? hell, akihiko is basically his brother and he’s already moved on. speaking of moving on, amada’s completely—
fuck, what is wrong with you?
for the past few days, you tried to block these festering thoughts. being open minded was what lead you to be so close to shinjiro. akihiko just processes his grief differently, while amada was just a kid blinded by revenge.
but still…
you sit up abruptly. he wouldn’t want this.
you swing your legs over the edge of the bed and plant your feet on the ground. he wouldn’t want this.
you stand up, smoothing over your clothes. he wouldn’t want this.
but what the hell do you even know about him? how do you know what he would want? you couldn’t even become close enough to figure out what plagued his mind during his every waking moment. maybe if you did, you would’ve been able to stop—
no. he wouldn’t want this either.
just like how he would want akihiko, amada, and everyone else to come together and move on. he would not want you beating yourself up over something you weren’t involved in.
you take a deep breath in, then out. in. out. okay. you’ve got this. this is your last day to be in his room before everything is moved out. all that will remain is the memory of him. everyone else already got a turn a few days ago, so this is your last chance to preserve whatever fragments of him are left in here.
the drawer to his desk is slightly ajar. out of respect for his privacy, you begin to shut it, but something oddly familiar peaks out.
is that…?
with wide eyes and shaky hands, you reach in.
it’s a photo of the two of you, back when shinjiro still went to school, before you had any ideas about why he came to class everyday all beat up.
you’re smiling, holding up a peace sign, while shinjiro glared at the camera. it was a picture taken to commemorate the end of junior high school—one that took a lot of convincing for him to agree to.
on the back, sprawled in your handwriting, you wrote;
��shinjiro,
i found this picture of us from the last day of junior high! it’s weird how much time has passed.
have you been eating well? how is your sleep? are you still growing out your hair? i know you’re not feeling well, but as soon as your health improves, we should hang out again.
also, i miss seeing you in class. hurry up and get better! i need someone to talk to!
-[name]
11/04/08”
it takes you a second, but you do remember writing this. judging by the date, it was roughly a month after he took his leave of absence, citing medical issues. you didn’t have much contact with him outside of school, so you relied on akihiko to transport the photo to him.
you crouch down, trying to get ahold of your emotions. you’ve done enough crying. he wouldn’t want you to waste so many tears on him.
but haven’t you been ignoring his wishes already?
you bury your face in your hands in a pathetic attempt to muffle your sobs. physically, nobody was in here. but for you, shinjiro was everywhere. in this room, in the hallways, in the lounge, on the streets, at school—he followed you everywhere. your morale bent under the weight of his memory.
only now do you realize there will come a day where you will have known the grief longer than you have known him.
but this pain is better than never knowing him in the first place.
shinjiro, who secretly cooked meals for koromaru.
shinjiro, who never let you go to bed on an empty stomach.
shinjiro, who tried to push you away, but failed.
shinjiro, who held you close hours before his death.
shinjiro, who didn’t want to leave his mark on the world, but left a mark on you.
the grief will never go away. you will carry it with you wherever you go, and the weight of it will never diminish. but, you can grow around it. you will grow around it.
because that’s what he would’ve wanted.
