A myriad of ONE fanart because I realized I've done a bunch lately and could share it in a masterpost. I kiss Doux on the forehead and give him hot cocoa.

for the madoka magica au, why not vibrato somehow manages to survive charlotte but then his soul gem turns black for any reason you want and turns into a witch? and the witches designs can be inspired by our mutuals kirby ocs? also would Zackrie be a good fit for Kyoko?

sorry if this too much questions, I'm just really excited for this au.

Ooooh yeah I love this sm! So Vibrato could be a mix of both Mami and Sayaka I assume, and tbh, Kyoto's personality fits Zachrii's perfectly!!

(AoT Scenario) When They Go On An Expedition

A/N: Got a request or idea? Leave it below in the comments

Eren

"Please be careful Eren. Don't overexert your Titan form." I say as he stands next to his horse ready to leave for an expedition, one that I was not on after hurting my arm. "I'll be careful, don't worry." He says while hugging me tightly. "I love you, so don't die." I say and he nods. "I love you too Y/N. I won't die, because for as long as I live, I'm fighting for a free world for us." He says kissing my forehead before jumping on his horse. "I'll be back before you know it Y/N." He says with a cheeky grin before speeding off. I scoff with a smile and shake my head. "You idiot...We'll have a free world one day."

Armin

"A...Armin!" I yell out as I run towards him. "Hey Y/N." He says before I engulf him in a tight hug. "Be safe out there, alright! I want you to come back." I say before getting a rub on the back. "I'll always come back to you." I let go and he gets on his horse. "Promise?" I ask as I hold his hand gently before he left. "I promise." He says before riding off.

Jean

"I'll be alright, trust me." Jean says as he runs the back of his hand down my cheek. "B...but that's what M...Marco said, and now h...he's de-" "Y/N." Jean says, snapping me out of my trance and making me look at him. "I'm not gonna die. I've got plenty of good, no, great soldiers who've got my back if anything happens. Even Eren. He may hate me, but when the time comes, he'll save anyone." He says and I take a deep breath before wiping my tears and nodding. "Okay...I trust you to come back in 1 piece." I tell him before he hugs me tightly. "Come on Jean. They want us out there now." Connie says as he walks past. "Okay, thanks. Y/N, I will come back to you, that is a promise." He says before kissing my cheek, running off and leaving me at the stables.

Erwin

"Erwin!" I chime as I open the door to his office. I stop and quickly salute as I see Darius Zackry, the one man who was in charge of the Commanders. "Sorry, Sir!" I say and he smiles. "Who is this lovely young lady Commander?" Darius asks as he turns to Erwin. "This is Y/N L/N. An excellent soldier and an even better girlfriend." Erwin says with a smile and I blush as Darius laughs. "You're lucky. Keep her, she seems nice. Pleasure meeting you cadet." Darius says and I salute again, straightening up as he walks past me and out the door. I let out a long breath and walk over to Erwin. "Sorry...I didn't interrupt anything important, did I?" I ask and he smiles, shaking his head "No, Darius just wanted to know what tomorrows expedition will hold." I hug him gently. "You be careful tomorrow. As much as a friend Levi is, I don't think the cadets want him or Hange as their new Commander. So you'd better come back alive Erwin." I say and he chuckles. "I always do come back."

Levi

I sigh, walking down the halls. Tomorrow, Levi was going out on an expedition with the other squad leaders and the Commander. I knock on Levi's door and hear a faint grumble of 'come in' before I entered his room slowly, making sure not to annoy him. I struggle to hold back a laugh as I saw him with his head on the desk. "Um...Levi?"I say quietly, causing him to groan and lift his head up. "What is it Y/N?" He mumbles, slamming his head back onto the table. "I just wanted to spend this evening with you before you left tomorrow." I say nervously as his head rises from the desk. He glared at me and scoffed before laying back down. "No. I'm busy." He says, shooing me out. "Busy doing what? You're just laying on your de-" "I said I was busy! Stop fucking bothering me! If you wanna dick around and talk, go find someone else." He growls and I gasp at his sudden tone. "O...ok...we...well, good luck tomorrow..." I say before rushing out before my tears bothered him. I run to my room, trying not to bump into anyone, and hide under my blanket while facing the wall. I whimper and close my eyes, crying myself into a sad slumber.

Time Skip

My eyes flutter open, expecting to see the sun. My expectations flew out of the window when I saw a soft, sleeping face. He groans and pulls me closer. "You're up early brat." He says with a smirk and I nod quickly, still feeling sad about yesterday evening. "M...Morning L...Lev-" "Forget about last night. I was balls deep in work and four-eyes somehow managed to convince me into drinking liquor. I took my anger out on you when I shouldn't have. I'm sorry." He says, resting my head against his chest. "We can spend some time here before I leave this afternoon." I smile and wrap my arms around his muscular chest. "We should do this more often. It's...it's nice." He says with a small smile and I kiss his cheek quickly. "I agree!"

Types of Japanese Swords

About the classification of swords, such as the difference between swords and uchigatana

Basic knowledge

There are various types of Japanese swords, such as swords, uchigatana, kodachi, daggers, and wakizashi. Here, we will explain the types of such Japanese swords.

Types of Japanese swords

Currently, the types of swords are classified as follows according to their length.

Blade length 60 cm or more ... sword, sword

Blade length 30 cm or more and 60 cm or less ... Wakizashi (Kodachi is also classified as a type of Wakizashi in the current classification)

Blade length 30 cm or less ... dagger

Tachi

The sword is long because it is designed to be used on horseback with its blade down. The large bow-shaped warp that was created to quickly pull out the long sword is a unique shape that can only be seen in Japanese swords, and can be said to be the ultimate functional beauty. Since it is supposed to be handled with one hand, it is lighter than a sword.

Until the middle of the Edo period, the sword was made on the assumption that it would be handled with one hand, so it is lightweight, but after the middle of the Edo period, Taihei is supposed to be handled with both hands, so it is relatively heavy.Warped swords have been introduced to Turkey and China, but they have a warped shape near the sword, which is different from the shape of a Japanese bow that warps from near the stem. doing.

The sword was used not only as a combat tool, but also in ceremonies and celebrations.

The inner lining of the Hina dolls has a sword, and the May doll has a bow and a sword for the sake of warding off evil. At that time, it was customary to give a "Mikahashi". The sword was filled with the wishes of blessing the born child and prosperity of the clan.

Even now, in the imperial family and the palace family, it is customary to give a wholesale (new) dagger at a ceremony called the "Gift Sword Ceremony" when a child is born.

Uchigatana

Insert the sword with the blade facing up. Since it is designed for use on the ground, it is shorter and has a shallower warp than a sword. Also, while swords are supposed to be handled with one hand, swords from the middle of the Edo period onwards are supposed to be handled with both hands, so they are heavier than swords.

Uchigatana prospered after the latter half of the Muromachi period, and a large number of swords were made due to the background of the era when the battle for hegemony intensified all over Japan. Until then, swords were mainly made of flat swords, but from this time on, swords made of swords have become mainstream as well as swords.

In addition, it was often used to polish the sword's sword (nakago) and use it as a sword. It is said that this was led by Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the champions of the Warring States period. "Heshikiri Hasebe", which is famous as Nobunaga's favorite sword, is also one of the polished swords.

Even in the Edo period, polishing was actively carried out. This is because the shogunate banned swords that are too long.

Polishing the sword so short that the original stalk does not remain, and remaking the part that was the blade into a stalk is called "great polishing". The Honami family, who is well-known as an appraiser, sometimes re-inscribed the inscription using a technique called gold inlaying. "Heshikiri Hasebe" is also one of the swords that has been inlaid with gold inlay.

Gold inlay is to put an inscription on the stem with gold or silver. Inlaying is one of the craft techniques. An elephant means "to shape" and a fit means "fit".

In other words, there are two types of swords that currently exist, one that was originally made as a sword and the other that was originally a sword and was polished to become a sword.

The key to distinguishing whether it was a sword from the beginning or a sword was the inscription, and if it is uninscription, the shape of the warp depth.

When classified as Zackri, there is a difference in appearance that the sword has a deep warp and the sword has a shallow warp.

There is also a way to distinguish when a sword is worn with the inscription on the outside of the body, the blade is facing down as a sword, and the blade is facing up as a sword.

However, the sword may be worn with the blade down like a sword. This is called Tenjin-ji, and it is said that the gun corps that fights on horseback or on the ground with knees used this method.

Tanto

Today, Japanese swords with a blade length of 30 cm or less are called daggers.

Most of them are flat like knives, and there is not much warpage. The name "tanto" is a relatively new word, and in the days when swords were used, flat swords were called "swords" and short swords were called "waist swords". It is said that it came to be called because it was put in a brimless sword guard and carried around as a self-defense or living tool on a daily basis.

Although daggers are smaller and simpler in shape than swords, they are as beautiful as swords, and many are designated as national treasures and important cultural properties.

The daggers produced by Yoshimitsu Awataguchi, who was touted as a master of daggers, and Shinto Gokunimitsu, were longing for the warlords of the Warring States period.

Even in actual battles, it may have been emphasized in a different sense from the sword because it is used when scraping the opponent's neck in close combat or when suicide.

Also, in the Edo period, when wearing a hitatare, kariginu, or daimyo, which a daimyo wears when dressing up, a "small sword" is used. It was stipulated to insert a sword with a brim called.

Wakizashi

Even if you say Wakizashi in a word, there are various shapes.

Wakizashi is called a sword of about 30 cm or more and 60 cm or less, but even with the same wakizashi, the shape varies considerably depending on the time when it was made.

For example, the Wakizashi in the Nanbokucho and Muromachi periods is a flat structure that is slightly longer than 1 shaku (about 30 cm), and the shape is similar to a dagger, but the Wakizashi in the Edo period is a hozo that is close to 2 shaku (about 60 cm). , It has a shape similar to a sword.

The Edo period was the time when many Wakizashi masterpieces were born

In the Edo period, when a samurai appeared in public, it was stipulated that a sword called a sword and a wakizashi called a sword should be inserted. To put it the other way around, only samurai were allowed to make big and small wakizashi, but since people with status other than samurai were also allowed to have wakizashi, many wakizashi were made in this era. I will.

In addition, a wealthy merchant who had more financial resources than the samurai became a sponsor of the swordsmith at that time, so many masterpieces were born.

when the moon is full the wolf will howl

it always starts the same. boy meets girl. takes her home. they fuck like animals and she sneaks out before the sun rises. disappears before he can even ask her her real name. a month later she finds out she’s pregnant. she wants to get rid of it, so badly she wants nothing to do with it. but she can’t bring herself to do so. she stays out of public as much as possible. this is not a joyous occasion for her. it is not something to be excited about. the baby is born, big blue eyes and hair pale as her father’s. she remembers where he lived and leaves her there, only a few hours old.  her father isn’t home. instead, little boris caide, of only ten years old, hears the howling wail from the baby on his doorstep. he brings it in, leaves the note on the table for his father, as it was addressed to him. when remy returns home to a baby, his son points to the note. 

   remy,       she’s yours. happened about eight months ago, we met at the bar, had a great night. couldn’t bring myself to get rid of her. sorry.                                                            cherry. 

 she was named Aurora Selene Caide. daughter of an alpha wolf, sister to the next in line. the little girl was spoiled. pampered by the pack and her brother. her father when he had the time. she was four the first time her father realized she had the wolf in her too. 

  by seven she was fluent in russian, her father’s native tongue, and english. she was running with the younger wolves in the pack. she was trained by her brother to hunt and fight. and she made fast friends with a young girl named lily. lily was one of a few humans that lived among the pack. children born to wolves without the gene. it happened sometimes. lily was her absolute best friend, the two were practically inseparable. 

the pack lived high in the mountains to avoid humans. too many had bad experiences, and it was easier to change and run without fear of being caught. as a whole, the pack would shift during the three nights of the full moon. other members chose to shift when they felt like it. 

  when she was eleven the pack doctor told her father there was something ‘not right with that one’. though she never saw a formal doctor, Aurora has a few mental disorders that have gone undiagnosed, that she inherited from her mother. 

  her first shift was at fourteen. her and lily were running around one the full moon, the rest of the pack in the woods somewhere. they were playing hide and seek when she felt sick. her head pounding, vision going strange. there was a ringing in her ears. the moon was calling to her. she changed for the first time. in the confusion of her first change, and the pain that accompanied it, she lashed out. 

  when aurora came to she was matted with blood, following the trail she found lily’s body. that day broke her. she grieved. the pack grieved. no one blamed her. she was alone on her first shift. her brother was supposed to be with her, but he’d been off in the woods somewhere. they buried her body under a tree, aurora visited her once a week. 

  aurora was seventeen when she encountered people outside the pack. hunters way up in the mountains. purposefully seeking out the pack to destroy it. she’d been visiting lily’s tree when she caught their scent. curiosity got the better of her and she went to go investigate. the hunters attacked when she got too close, she fought them off as best she could, but they were smart. they had weapons, and she was still a little out of control. boris saved her. took a bullet for her.

 aurora ran. 

 her brother was dead. her best friend was gone. she go far enough away to shift, howled to warn the pack, then kept running. she stayed wolf. ran for what felt like months. moving further and further south. she finally stopped, shifted back. she wandered in to town, found clothes and food. she was taken in by a man, a wolf himself. his name was Zackry. he was old enough to be her father, and knew a lost wolf when he saw one. 

  he gave her shelter, food, money when she needed it. Zackry taught her how to fit in with humans. how to act less wild, be undetectable. he got her a job at one of the bars in town. the bartender taught her, she learned quick, her fast reflexes made for quick drink making. she made her own money, paid her way. 

  Zackry left town a year and a half later. gave her the house until his lease was up. his pieces of advice, keep moving. never stay in one place too long, don’t attack the locals. keep shifting to a minimum. find a safe place to let the wolf out. don’t trust any one.
