#also I just love Misaki that’s my baby

[ohnofujo]

Sorry to get into Junjou Discourse some more… I just think that not being able to SAY what he wants is such a big part (through line) of Misaki’s character that is unfair to ignore it in situations with Usagi.

Like Misaki’s “being selfish” moment in his own mind was asking if maybe just maybe he could leave some of his stuff at Usagi’s house when he moved out with his brother. And what he doesn’t say but what’s implied and Usagi picks up on is that leaving his stuff would give him an excuse to visit more often. Which means, Misaki doesn’t want to leave at all. Even tho he can’t bring himself to say that. All he can say is “could I leave my stuff— haha jk of course I’ll take my stuff.”

Also I think by how Usagi gets silent and like freezes this really is like the first time Misaki has ever said something that has even implied he wanted something different than what was just happening.

And just after asking that, he starts crying. Like he is not good at vocalizing what he wants even a little bit. Because he’s not even close to being straight forward in this moment and it’s very hard for him.

So, while yes, a lot of their interactions do come off as Usagi pushing himself on Misaki I’m not denying that… There is a clear emphasis throughout that Misaki isn’t good at saying what he wants and is more likely to just hint at it.

Like it’s a bit messy in a relationship to be like you need to pick up on hints because you could wrong!

And I think that’s why when Sumi mentions that Usagi might have forced Misaki, Usagi freaks out and feels guilty. Because, he hadn’t really thought he was ever forcing Misaki, probably (and I’m inferring) it seems like despite Misaki saying “no! no!” He was very physically into it… So Usagi assumed (and it seems correctly based on what Misaki says later) that Misaki was embarrassed/ashamed/etc.

ep 6–

me while watching the scene with professor what’s his name: I wanna punch this fkr in the face.

nowaki: I WILL DO IT FOR YOU KIZ!!

hahahahah

but okay, so here it is. the resolve. nowaki, baby, i need you to stop focusing so much on work (is what i wanted to say) but, well, now that i have watched the whole episode i have to say this: hiro, baby, i need you to stop being melodramatic and telling your man to go pursue his dreams and then getting mad that he does.

also can we just appreciate the face nowaki is a gentle as fuck lover, and hiro is the MOUTHIEST BOTTOM. Holy shitttt dude.

also lol at nowaki: i can’t control myself *rips clothing off in the library*

I find it funny just how many of my favorite bandori ships are between characters that have had like A event together and literally only one of them is the event the actual reason I ship them. Kokomoca event rewired my brain chemistry for all the others I either shipped them before hand or 4d chessed myself into it after ghfnrkfnf

[ultfreakme]

Okay I’m still on the verge of tears and can’t do this rn so buddy daddies ep 10 jumbled thoughts

Idk wtf anyone says anymore the entire kazurei relationship is queer there is absolutely NO denying it anymore. That scene where Kazuki is looking at kids with their moms, then it cuts to himself? Yeah that’s basically insecurity and feeling terrible he can’t fit their own family into societal standards. Yeah it’s about Miri missing Misaki, about how their careers aren’t meant to accommodate a child but its also about how society has made us all internalize that a ‘right’ family involves a mom, a dad, and a child/

Miri is absolutely sad that Misaki isn’t with her, but she’s never like, so upset she gets devastated. Misaki herself asks “do you like it here better than with me?” and what does Miri answer? She doesn’t says “yeah i like it better here”, BUT she also doesn’t say “I like it best with you!”, she completely dodges and says “I love you mama, and papas too”. Any time a situation involving a mother comes up, she’s like “would be nice if mama were here....anyways!” and doesn’t dwell on it.

I thought Rei smiling would kill me but Kazuki almost CRYING DESTROYED MY SOUL. It’s like watching either of my parents cry its heartbreaking and horrible and i want it to stop. He thought he’d never find that normal happiness, wanted it oh so desperately and then it’s....gone. The Ferris wheel symbolism was horrible I hate the OP for doing that to me. That opening where they’re in front of the billboards was just-- IT WAS IN FRONT OF US THE WHOLE TIME

I think even Rei almost cried. On the ferris wheel, when they focused on his mouth and it twisted downwards before Miri pointed to the city. Kazuki crying was bad enough and had me tearing up too. If Rei was added into the mix I’d have been in shambles

Misaki holy shit wtf, life hates her, cut the woman some slack wow. Throughout the show she was defined by her singing and they took her voice away. It’s horrible, but I’m glad she has parents to go back to. I’m not fully convinced she can take care of Miri, but if she’s being genuine I think she’ll be just fine and would learn just like Kazurei.

Rei sounded so devastated when he was like “you can’t do this when we’re all attached”. Yeah this was his glimpse at normalcy, the one time in his entire life he got to be part of something that didn’t stifle him and it’s gone now. 

Kazuki wrapping the scarf around her- hey why don’t I just eat glass? Why don’t I just go on top of a cliff and scream?? Or set fire to my bed???

“I guess we can’t change” BABY NO YOU CAN. YOU CAAAN!!!

I thought Rei would defy the organization and say “screw it I want to protect this family I have”......but his most prominent memory of his mentor is him dying. How defiance led to his and his wife/gf’s horrifying death. In his head he’s probably thinking that’d be Kazuki and Miri if he doesn’t quit while they’re ahead. Alive and miserable, or dead while holding onto hopeless situations?

Kazuki.....idek.....just Kazuki baby I’m so sorry

Tadaima, Okaeri Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Last week, Misaki had a huge moment of doubt before baby Hinata was born when he was worried about their daughter having to face the struggles he’s had. However, as always, Hiromu sensed it immediately and they talked about it as a team after making out. They prepared Hikari for the role, and even named baby Hinata because of Hikari associating the baby with the sun. They now have two adorable children. We left at Matsuo reacting to a comment from Hiromu that papa Fujiyoshi asked if Yuki was his mate.

Not know what babies are finding funny is so real. Masaki just chilling and reading his book is the correct response.

Love that they always treat Hikari as a full participant in conversations and accept him immediately when he joins in. It’s really cool how they consistently instill purpose and responsibility into Hikari in a way that he seems to find fun.

Then there’s the way they teach Hikari how to take care of Hinata. Hiromu can’t let Hikari feed apples to Hinata yet, but Masaki can give him a compromise of letting Hinata watch him eat them. I like that they don’t tell him that the impulse is wrong, and explain the reason why he can’t follow through on it.

Poor Hikari. I’m glad Masaki told him he doesn’t have to give all of his things to Hinata. He overworked himself and how he’s sick.

I really love that Masaki and Hiromu feel like a team when it comes to parenting.

Wow, I actually really like Hiromu’s apology for Hikari opening Masaki’s emails. It’s good to teach kids about respecting privacy and acknowledging when they’ve made mistakes.

I really like that Hiromu’s parents are putting in real effort to make up with them.

This kimono moment is very touching. There’s something really special about this show not making reconciliation for past homophobic offenses an ongoing process, and how that isn’t quick for the offended party.

I really love this show. I prefer my slice-of-life shows to have a clear drama or theme for the episode that they take care of, and Japanese shows seem to understand that best most of the time. They’re also doing a good job with contextualizing Hikari getting a little bit older and more aware of the world and his surroundings. Even in this episode we had instances of him displaying more independence and surprising his dads. I love a low stakes drama like this so much.

What type of pets the couples would get

This is just my take on it, so please take it with a grain of salt.

Romantica: rabbits, probably a couple of them. I feel like Misaki might bring it up as a joke at some point, but then Akihiko takes it seriously and gets them a pair of rabbits. They end up with a condo full of rabbits, because the two they got just keep making babies.

Egoist: a puppy, like a Japanese Spitz. Nowaki would fall in love with a puppy he saw one day and Hiroki begrudgingly agrees to adopt it. The puppy would be well-trained, but also spoiled with treats.

Terrorist: I don't know if either of them are interested in keeping pets. They might have a fish tank full of pretty, tropical fish, because those can be fairly low-maintenance. Miyagi already has his hands full with Shinobu most of the time.

Mistake: also some kind of dog, like a Shiba Inu. Isaka will want a pet he has control over, although he'll leave it to Asahina to actually train their dog.

Nostalgia: a kitten, mainly because Sorata is now under Yokozawa's care. Takano might miss having a cat around. I'd imagine them having a Russian Blue or an American Shorthair.

Domestica: Chiaki strikes me as someone who'd like guinea pigs. They're pets that can be cuddled with, but that don't need constant attention. Hatori would be the one taking care of them though.

Erotica: they might have a bird or two, like cockatiels or budgies. They'd constantly chew on Yukina's piercings. Kisa will complain they're too loud, but he secretly adores watching Yukina play with them.

Trifecta: they already have Sorata, but another cat may join the family. I can see them getting a playful little Munchkin. Sorata might get a little jealous if the cat gets too much attention from Hiyori.

I'm not sure about Sentiment. For some reason, Yuu and Ijuuin seem like cat people to me, so maybe they'd get a cat as well.

V is for Vendetta but T is for Tension - Ronin x V (Killer Chat):

A/N: I have coined this ship "Bloodhound" since V's username is K9 like dogs lol and cause Ronin is a gore fest and because they also symbolise unconditional love. It's the perfect ship name in my op.

Summary: The devil is in the details. And the details seem to be telling V that he might be a little more than obsessed with Ronin.

Words: 2804

Tags: Feelings Realisation, Enemies To Lovers, V is really in his head about EVERYTHANG, over use of italics?

-

@goreboy: sure Baby catch me if you can

It was messages like these that made his blood boil the most. The catty nicknames and taunts that really show Ronin’s true depravity. He was a murderer. A sick fuck who did little outside of tormenting the good of the modern world. And despite that being his livelihood, when met with threats of capture, he couldn’t care less!

@K9: I will. Just you wait.

He typed it out, feeling his fingers jaggedly tremble, trying to hold themselves back from a lengthy diatribe that he’d surely get mocked for. He was used to the teasing. After 2 years it’s hard not to be, but right now he really needn’t get more flustered.

He didn’t wait for a response, flicking back over to another tab on his desktop; The Butcher’s police reports spread out on scanned documents, each fitted with the scrawling hand of the men in blue. He had been going through each of the reports, noting each death's location on a map he kept up in another window, now pin-pricked red with small dots that coagulated like a sea of blood; Ronin’s massacre. 

He was desperate for another lead, something to dig him out of the hole he found himself in, seeing neither the path forward nor backward, stuck simply in place to wallow in the details… “The devil is in the details.” Ronin had often said over call in his whiny, pitchy tone. Yet, these were the moments Valentin hated him the least. After all, the voice sought to humanise him, even if it was grating on the ears.

Never once had he seen him though. Yet he was aware everyone else had. He had heard many a time about Ronin’s deplorable fashion sense from the likes of both Angel and Misaki, and was well aware of Luca and Felicie’s apprehension of his appearance. Under other circumstances, he’d feel offended that Ronin would have obstructed him from such a view, yet it made perfect sense given their intentions with one another… Valentin had neglected to show his own face as well, so perhaps it was only fair.

Yet he wondered, what could someone like The Butcher even look like? At first, before he’d even joined the server, he’d imagined him much like how he imagines Vince; Tall and gruff, with wide shoulders and thin eyes that pierce harshly into one's chest, reading the sins of their hearts and beating out their last breath with intimidation. Yet, once he got to interact with Ronin, that idealisation was swiftly discarded. 

Now, well- he's not sure how he imagines him. He evidently has an affinity for grunge-like aesthetics, and according to Luca sports some especially “unflattering jeans” (though Luca’s taste is not to be trusted), yet his relationship with Angel would suggest he is reasonably attractive… Unless Angel was desperate, which wouldn’t be completely surprising. He exuded enough confidence to suggest that he was, though, which really got V’s mind racing…

If he could just get a glimpse of his killer, that’d make his hunt so much simpler! Yes. That was it.

He flicked back over to his chat with Ronin, the petulant nickname “baby” flashing in the gaudish pink of the chat client, grinding his gears and making him flush. It was stupid, he really shouldn’t get flustered by things like this, from people like this.

He scoffed, sighing to himself as he read over Ronin’s messages. If only these were different circumstances.

@goreboy: Eh. thats what you always say

@goreboy: And where has that gotten you?

@goreboy: 2 years in the biz and you still havent found me

He clenched one hand into a fist, clicking off the terminal with the other to get back to his sleuthing. Ronin was always such an asshole. He made him crazy! Made his heart race and his skin flush. Made him scroll through reams of documents detailing down to the finest points all the horrific acts he had committed. If it weren’t for the screen in between them, well, Valentin was certain that he’d know Ronin better than anyone!

The annoying flicker of the chat terminal’s notifications sounded. Once, then twice, then once more- V sighed, rubbing a tired hand upon his temple. It was really too late to be dealing with him, but justice never sleeps, so neither does he.

@goreboy: you just gonna ignore me are ya?

@goreboy: nah. you’re probably busy “hunting me down” arent ya?

@goreboy: Understandin my serial killer psyche and what not

@goreboy: so Fuckin Obsessed with me

@goreboy: you almost make me blush

He couldn’t stifle his audible groan. Ronin was being needier than usual.

@K9: Go seek your attention somewhere else. You have an entire server of pricks to bother.

@goreboy: eh. theyre not as fun to play with as you

He had to cover his eyes at that. Whether it be to shield him from such a snide remark, or to hide the heat that sizzled quietly under his skin, he wasn’t sure. This feeling, it had to be irritation- hatred. Sizzling, bubbling, hot. That’s how you’d describe it, no?

Ronin wasn’t being unjust, though. At least, not right now, so why was he making him feel this way? And why, pray tell, were the corners of his mouth fighting against his better judgement, upturning awkwardly into what some may call a smile. A smirk? A simulacra of emotion.

Perhaps it was because this implied a sense of favouritism. Yes, it was definitely that. To be sought after like how he pursued Ronin; with a fervent hunger that had yet to be quenched. It was flattering, sure, but nothing more!

@K9: I’m glad you find such pleasure in tormenting me.

@goreboy: aw is that so?

@K9: No.

He didn’t treat this like a game one would “play.” So of course it didn’t make him fucking glad. How stupid could Ronin be?

He squashed that thought pretty quickly, though, as evidently he was smart enough to outsmart him time and time again.

@goreboy: you wound me. are you Really sure youre not a serial killer?

He had to chuckle a little at that. Clever word play from his clever killer. He typed with a newfound ease;

@K9: With the amount of times you impose that disreputable moniker upon me, one might assume you’re simply asking for my attention. You’re well aware of the reaction it provokes from me…

@K9: You aren’t getting desperate, are you @goreboy?

A little part of him pleaded for it to be true, so that he wouldn’t be alone in this little pit of his. If the desperation went both ways, well then he could at least meet his killer in the middle of it all. Any lead. Any semblance of a lead that could direct him to a sense of understanding. Why did Ronin act like this? Why was he so cruel yet addictive? Why could he uproot his life and lead him down a path of ridiculous mystery and chaos to this very moment of time, calculated to immense precision? A mind much like his own in divisiveness yet so different in morality. Yin and Yang.

@goreboy: yk you dont have To @ me in dms right?

@K9: Dodging the question. That is so like you.

@goreboy: like you’d know

@K9: I would. 

@goreboy: fucking bet

He had little time to ruminate upon Ronin’s remarks before a bright flashing window popped up, arrogantly beckoning for his attention. He squinted his tired eyes, reading the pink text with a groan. 

[goreboy would like to voice call you.]

Alright. Groan retracted. His interest is piqued, and his anticipation is giddy. He eagerly clicks accept.

“For a moment I thought you wouldn’t pick up. But then I remembered you’re obsessed with me.” His snide tone filtered through the earbuds he had scrambled to get ahold of when the notification popped up. He had heard it a million times before yet it still made his skin prickle. With disgust, of course.

“Ugh, obsessed with putting your heinous deeds to rest. Nothing more.” He sighed out, though he didn’t feel the usual pang of immense disgust that came with reprimanding the younger man.

“Sure. You wanna tell me how that’s goin’?” He could hear the smugness dripping in his slick tone. Valentin squinted, as if the gesture might allow him to peek through the bright pixels of his screen, and out into the room of the man on the other line, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

“It’s going swimmingly. You really should start running if you know what’s good for you.”

“Ah, but you know I don’t. Don’t you? Since you know me so well.” He mocks with a thin laugh; one that’s long and drawn out. Very characteristic of him.

“I know more than you think.” 

“Oh yeah? What’s my full legal name then? Address? Place of work? C’mon you must know that!” It’s as if every question beckons forth a brewing intensity within him, threatening to tip over the precipice of his being and really spill what he’s thinking. What he wants to know. Ah, but he relents, pushes it down where it can ruminate safely in his gut to be dealt with later.

“I know your name is Ronin, and up until recently, you maintained a steady residence in the town of Angelwood. I know you’re currently employed as a mechanic, you have a former relationship with the model and influencer Maria De La Rosa-”

V can almost hear him stiffen at that. It was info he had not yet shared with him. The thought of him, just beyond that screen, possibly caught off guard, left his face running hot and his face contorting into glee. He loved this-

“As of now, I do not have a full name, as there was no one by your name living in the town of Angelwood. So it seems you are either going by a false name, or have changed it.”

“I’ll be your saint for once and clear that up for you. I changed it.” Ronin added quite quickly, his tone short and stern. It was a new sound for him.

“Care to clear up the rest of it? Since you’ve decided to be so forthcoming, you might as well just tell me your full name and address right now.”

He could hear himself, his voice bouncing off the screen in front of him, echoing back his teasing tone that so obviously dripped with some macabre sense of satisfaction. He was playing the game now- for the game was fun. Especially when you had some semblance of a high ground.

“You wish! If I forked over everything that easily, what would be the fun in it?”

“Killing you, perhaps?” He felt himself smirk as Ronin laughed.

“So the vigilante with the moral high ground gets off on killing me? Doesn’t sound very saint-like.”

“Of course you wouldn’t see it as such- Just this once I afford myself a pleasurable kill and of course you ridicule me. Don’t you understand that the pleasure is justice?”

“Yeah pleasure me with your justice yadda yadda- at least take me out to dinner before you start talkin’ dirty, V.” 

Oh he just wants to recede into his own skin and die. But in a good way? This doesn’t feel bad. No, it feels awful, yet exhilarating. It’s humiliating, yet exciting. It’s both terror and ecstasy, really, bickering with him.

…

“Shit.”

“What was that?” 

He didn’t mean to say it out loud, but the realisation was so profound that it simply bore a vocal understanding of it. 

Did he like this?

Did he like- Ronin?

“Nothing. I’m tired of your poor attempts to tease me is all.”

This was really bad. In love with a serial killer? The very serial killer he’d spent the better portion of 2 years hunting down? Yeah, that serial killer, his very own Butcher now skewering his heart with a knife so sharp he could barely feel it. It almost felt merciful if not for the blood it drew.

“You’re real feisty tonight! What’s got you so worked up, hm?” And he was none the wiser too! Well, maybe not. Ronin was so far up his own ass that he’d probably assumed that most of the people in the server had some underlying, undying affection for him.

It was not undying- but it was shaping up to be affection. Affection for Ronin- from V. It sounded as ridiculous as it was.

“You know exactly what has got me riled up.” He responded, trying his best to keep his tone flat and angered. “We seem to always be playing this game, back and forth, I don’t understand how you don’t tire of it.”

“I could say the same for you.” The smirk in his tone was evident. “As I said, you’re obsessed with me!”

“Then that would imply that you, too, are obsessed with me.” He quickly objected, though the idea felt hollow on his lips, slipping on its fickle feet.

“Sure, I won’t deny it.”

What.

See, that was what kept him going all these years. The surprise. Every time he figured he was bored of him, only slogging on with this case for the sake of justice, the man would just pop out and surprise him like this!

He couldn’t possibly reciprocate these feelings- No, he’s just using clever wording to mess with his head.

“You mean to say you’re obsessed with me?” His voice treaded carefully, a little tense towards his response.

“Fucking ennamoured even. You’re my little enigma.” His tone didn’t exactly make it sound like a compliment, yet it felt like one, sending his heart fluttering with a disgusting shimmer that made him internally slap himself for ever thinking of Ronin in such a way. Even if that way was, well, reciprocated.

“Enigma? That’s ironic coming from you.”

“Sure, but at least I can admit it. You’re a mystery to me, and so is your backwards logic. It’s clear you don’t have me figured out but- well I can’t say I’ve fared much better!”

This affords Ronin a precious laugh, for V rarely laughs for anyone but his own company. It’s unbecoming of a vigilante, of course, yet here Ronin has him unravelling.

“Despite this, I am certain you have more information on me than most who have attempted to track me down.”

“Aw, look at you complimenting me.”

“Comment rescinded.” He interjects as Ronin laughs breathily. V really wishes he could see him. See how he wore that expression. Would it knock any sense of affection out of him? Or would it make it even worse?

“Aw, don't be like that. You’re cute when you play nice.” He heightens his pitch in mockery, causing Valentin to groan, leaning back in his chair and letting his body, weighed down by the constant bombardment of warring emotions, sink into the cushioning.

“Shut up.”

“You love me.”

“Sure, if it makes you feel any better.” He sighs, feeling himself come down from the high of the conversation slowly, as if drifting amongst a steadying current, like a feather floating in the air.

“The feeling’s mutual.” He says with a laugh that’s so drawn out, almost like a cackle, that it makes it exceedingly hard to tell whether he means it or not. Either way, it still leaves Valentin’s heart palpitating, his hands clenching in on themselves to steady the rocking boat that is his emotions. “And one more thing before I go.”

“Oh, what is it now?” He huffed out in faux annoyance, putting on an extra sense of irritation to mask the part of him that childishly squealed at the prospect of being loved back.

“You want my full name?”

“More than anything.” Once he had that, it narrowed his broad horizon of people down to hopefully the bare minimum, affording him the capability to truly put a stop to this guy. That is, if he really still wanted to do that-

“The devil is in the details!”

And then the mother fucker hangs up.

And V is left to sit, ruminating with both rage and affection over the man he has dedicated so much of his time to. Was he really in love? This had to be love. For he knew nothing else but justice. And the justice of hunting Ronin down would surely be the sweetest. Surely deserving of the title of “Love”.

The stark screen of the chat window stared back at him, and it’s only when he reread the messages that, like a flickering lightbulb suddenly returning to its full shine, he understood what Ronin meant.

With butterflies in his stomach, he pulled up a search client: RONIN BEAUFORT.

He hit enter with a smile, ready to meet his killer.

4, 5, and 6! :) <--- asks good questions because I love you

I ASK YOU NICE QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME

4. What detail in [insert fic] are you really proud of?

“Besides,” his dad continues, “even with Misaki and Mari, we’ll need a grandson from you to carry on the Narumiya name, huh?” "Don't worry about that,” Mei tells him, more even than he feels. “There will be lots of people naming their children after me once I'm the greatest pitcher in Japan.”

Okay, so this is from Disappearance, which is a fic about aromantic anxiety, and honestly--making Mei aroace just blew his character WIDE open for me. He's usually characterized as this very flamboyant, almost happy-go-lucky asshole? But honestly when I was reading Daiya no Ace Act 1, idk, I just kind of felt this simmering, very controlled anger in him. Everything we know about him is through the eyes of a rival character so that probably biases the lens, but he's just so ambitious, and the ONLY time I ever felt any real vulnerability from him was when he was stressed about sucking at baseball.

But anyway. This detail. Part of my Asian American Aromantic Asexual experience was processing the shame of never continuing the family line lmao. And I imagine, as the ONLY son in a family within a patriarchal culture, that guilt is probably amplified, especially if your dad has this weird insistence on passing on the family name. It's a really queer fear, and a really aromantic fear.

So for Mei, part of what fuels his ambition to be the best pitcher in Japan is this sense that: this is the ONLY way I can give my dad what he wants, this is the ONLY way I can give him a legacy to be proud of. It's not his entire ambition, but it's part of it. I have feelings about Narumiya Mei.

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]?

"Hey, what the fuck is up with the fight scene in That One Time That Dink Dinked Up?"

GLAD YOU ASKED.

There's this concept in musicals (I think Howard Ashman coined it?) and I'm paraphrasing horribly, but it's something like: when the characters get too emotional to speak, that's when they burst into song. Anyway, I've been trying to treat fight scenes as songs in musicals. A lot of writing advice regarding fight scenes is about the actual prose itself (which is great, and I definitely need it) but I also think it's important to lay the plot-emotion-etc groundwork for a fight scene.

In the rough draft, Dink and Time had a really horribly melodramatic conversation, and it was just Too Much. So I went back and turned it into a fight scene, which was MUCH better. Dink, internally, is fighting the idea that he's an unloveable piece of villain trash, and for him, Time represents the ideal heroic father figure he doesn't deserve! So he tries to kill him, or be killed by him. And Time is like, "no don't hate urself ur so funny haha".

In this household, we love turning the ideological conflict between two character's viewpoints into a literal conflict between those two characters!

6. What's one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn't get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

LKDJFAKLADJFADS OKAY THIS IS SO SUBTLE AND VERY VERY STUPID, BUT--

I establish in DotF that Sky needs sleep because he gets mean when he's sleep-deprived.

Anyway, the reason why "giving Legend a laxative, spilling ink on his bag, and invading his privacy" is his first and only plan upon hearing of Baby Time's ocarina hunt is that he hasn't been sleeping properly due to having dozens of nightmares about Legend's rotting corpse.

[ridiasfangirlings]

Honestly, I desire more bisexual homra u_u post-rok Anna is getting to lead a more normal life, that includes exploring her identity. Blooming bisexual Anna goes to the 2 biggest bisexuals for advice and comfort: yata and kusanagi.

Asking Kusanagi for advice is never a bad thing, asking Yata…well, she could do worse XD Actually her talking to Yata would probably be helpful since I could see him as someone struggling with his identity whereas Kusanagi might have had less issues, and in any case Yata’s probably only more recently come to terms with his sexuality while Kusanagi is older and wiser. Like I could see Anna talking to Yata initially, say she hasn’t had a steady boyfriend yet but she’s gotten close to a few boys and had crushes and then she’s blindsided when she develops a crush on a girl. On the one hand I don’t think Anna would see anything wrong with that in and of itself (there are too many gay people in Homra for her to be homophobic) but she’s confused because she thought she should like one or the other. She’s a little nervous about the idea of discussing this with Kusanagi, since he’s rather protective when it comes to Anna dating, and she doesn’t know which of the Homra guys to confide in. Then Yata stops by the bar and she decides to ask him, because Misaki is reliable and she probably does have some idea that Yata is similar to her because she remembers him talking to Kusanagi about it. 

Yata I could see being nervous about having this discussion initially, like he assumes she wants the sex talk and he is the absolute last person to give anyone the sex talk, but then he realizes she means sexuality and that Anna’s struggling with the same feelings he did. Once he realizes that I feel like Yata would be her best cheerleader, he’s super supportive and willing to answer any questions she has and to encourage her that she’s not strange, there’s nothing wrong with her, it’s okay to love whoever she wants. He would probably be the one who encourages her to talk to Kusanagi because that’s what Yata did when he was struggling and Yata thinks Kusanagi would really want to help her. 

That evening when everyone’s left the bar Anna goes to talk to Kusanagi and while he does have that knee jerk parental ‘who dares to date my baby girl’ moment once she hears what she’s asking he gets this calm smile as he’s like so you just need some advice huh. He’s happy that she told him and he’s probably the one who gives her the whole talk about stereotypes not being the truth and that she’s not like ‘refusing to pick one or the other’ and she’s not ‘greedy’ or anything stupid like that. He’d also I think be supportive of her not needing to pin down her identity right away, like this is the age kids start thinking about this stuff and you don’t have to be pinned into one box, if you decide later that things are different that’s fine too, right now you just focus on what — and who — makes you happy without worrying too much about labels.

Truth Syrup and Other Homemade Remedies

WHUMPTOBER 2023, DAY 18: “I tend to deflect when I’m feeling threatened.” Blindfold | Tortured For Information | “Hit them harder.”

This fic is an indirect-ish sequel to the previous entry on this Whumptober series, "Noli Me Tangere". It's not necessary to read it to understand this one, but I'd advise doing so just so you get more Nitta content. That's what you're here for, right?

This fic is also me making dolls smooch by taking advantage of the one universal rule of CT: there is no healthcare professional ever, unless the plot asks for one, in which case they will surrender to whatever the fuck the protags are cooking. My fav example of that is in Shin CT when Ishizaki is taken care of by Misugi, because for some reason, there's no adult, so the 15-year-old has to do the job himself! You gotta love the coherence and realism of this manga lmao.

At this point Kumi is just my OC parading as a CT character and, honestly, with how shabby the writing of the female characters is in this manga, I think she deserves to have a personality - and this is one! Homemade is fine too, right? Perhaps even better, since I can toy around with it more. As such, my version of ShunKumi is based on a single Pixiv fanfic series I slapped without fanfare into DeepL (I really need to learn Japanese, oogh) and a lot of my headcanons; and I wouldn't have it any other way. That's how I roll baby.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Truth Syrup and Other Homemade Remedies

Summary: Kumi has a mission and it's to bring a guy who just so happens to be her crush to the infirmary; and no matter what Nitta throws her way, she'll see it to the end.

Fandom: Captain Tsubasa

Word Count: 1.5K words

AO3 version available here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Urabe entrusted her with a very important mission and Kumi intents on seeing it to completion, no matter what. It sounds a little extreme, compared to what the mission is (bringing a player to the infirmary in as short of a time as possible), but it’s absolutely how her pounding heart is feeling about it: nothing short of this being primordial, especially since she doesn’t quite understand why Urabe picked her and not the older managers with more experience and, as a result, patience.

Adding to her confusion is the nature of said mission: it sounds simple on the surface, yet it’s anything but. Bringing a player to the infirmary can be a challenge even when it’s someone as calm as Misaki or as kind as Morisaki, with how impeding an injury or illness can be, but it gets a lot more difficult when it’s someone as stubborn and hard-set as Nitta.

And thus, this is how she’s now finding herself in the middle of a corridor after class, facing a boy a class above her.

“Why did you stop?” She asks him,

“You should go back,” he tells her, voice barely louder than a whisper.

“No! Urabe trusts me to bring you to the infirmary and I will do it!”

He sighs. She shouldn’t find his pout cute, considering it’s mocking her, yet there she is.

“You’re really annoying.”

“You’re one to talk, you’re the one who’s making this difficult!”

“As I said, you don’t hafta do that. You can just go back.”

The lightning speed at which he blinks and the overall soreness she feels when she studies him, as she’s currently doing in case something goes wrong,

“You’re not well, senpai. I don’t want to leave you alone.”

“I dunno why both Urabe and you are like that,” he replies with a cough stuck in his throat. “But wha’ver. If it makes you feel better…”

“Then let’s continue. You’ll feel much better once you can lie down.”

“If you say so,” he shrugs.

Their walk resumes, albeit at a glacial pace, especially compared to what she knows (and admires) about Nitta. He’s usually so fast she barely has the time to see him pass by her, dashing who knows where, almost like a shooting star. She used to hate it, how she couldn’t keep an eye on him as well as she’d do for the others, and he’d brag about it often, but now… Well, it’s part of his charm, she’d say.

She isn’t quite sure why she likes him so much. Nitta is very much not the same as Tsubasa: he’s no born leader with limitless potential, he doesn’t have the skills for a grandiose speech like Tsubasa, and his personality is much closer to that of a feral cat than a bright bird. Maybe she likes feral cats? It’s a weird way to put it, but that’d explain why she actually likes him, come to think of it: this sense of imperfection makes Nitta reachable, unlike Tsubasa.

On the other hand, it means that, when he’s down like that, her concern is only stronger. The urge to help is stronger, thus why she’s now hovering him like a worried mother (or something of the calibre). God, maybe he does hate her. He hates people who look too deep into his things.

When they do finally arrive there, the infirmary is empty, unstaffed, and Kumi sighs. She’s heard of medical personnel often missing when you need them the most, but she’d be lying if she said this massive inconvenience wasn’t prickling her skin right at the wrong moment. After all, Nitta’s already as irritable as they come, they don’t need her to be just as unpleasant to deal with.

She takes a deep breath and –

“You should be able to leave me, now, right?” Nitta tells her as he sits on the examination table.

He’s trying to get rid of her, she’s certain of it. He must hate her.

“Why would I do that?”

“I dunno, you did your job, and it’s boring to stay here, no?”

He shivers, even under the tracksuit jacket Urabe has landed him.

“There’s nobody here, though… I don’t want to leave you alone.”

“You don’t have anything better to do?”

It lacks bite, so it’s not genuine anger nor frustration. That’s the first thing she’s learned about him and, even now, it’s one of her few certainties remaining.

“I’m a manager, my job is to make sure everyone’s fine; so no, I don’t have ‘anything better to do’. I want to help you, senpai, that’s all there is to it.”

He frowns at this, between two coughs.

“I don’t need that shit. You should just leave.”

This is going nowhere, nowhere!

“There’s nobody here, I’m not leaving until I know you’ll be fine!”

“You don’t need to, Sugimoto.”

This is so frustrating!

“Why are you always like that?!” She ends up snapping at him.

His expression softens, all of a sudden.

“Like what?”

“Deflecting what we tell you! You like to pretend like everything’s fine when it’s clearly not and I don’t get why!”

In reaction to this, everything about Nitta changes. Not only is his face softer, through the frowning of pain and reddish hue of his cheeks, his eyes have dulled right as they ducked away from hers. He gets his knees to his chest, suddenly vulnerable to her.

“I tend to deflect when I feel threatened,” he tells her in too cautious of a tone.

This doesn’t make sense…

“How does… me asking how you’re doing is threatening you?”

He looks to the side and bites his lip. He isn’t going to answer. Maybe he doesn’t even have an answer and it’s all a pretence. Or is it? Nothing about his behaviour makes sense.

“Do you have a problem with me?” She asks.

His shoulders rise, his expression turning into a much more familiar disdain. (Or is it?)

“How in the hell did you come up with that as an explanation?”

“You seem so reluctant to talk to me, so I can’t help but wonder! Did I do something wrong? Do you hate me? Why won’t you let me help you?”

“It’s not a you thing. It’s a me thing.”

Kumi steps forward, courage swelling inside her, and Nitta doesn’t try to get further from her. That’s a good sign, right?

“Why are you so reluctant to get help, then?”

“I’m supposed to be independent, but when you ask someone for things, it means you’re still depending on someone, right? And I don’t wanna be that guy.” He clears his throat. “I don’t wanna be weak.”

“Senpai, I… It’s fine to need help, you know?”

“Urabe loves to tell me that, yeah, but it doesn’t change things.”

“You don’t have to be independent all the time. It’s also fine to rely on people at times – in fact, I’d say it’s necessary.”

She’s now right in front of him, close enough to feel how high his fever must be.

“I guess you’re right, it’s just… embarrassing to admit.”

His head lulls on his shoulder, so in a moment of pure instinct, she goes to cup his cheek. To her soft-spoken surprise, he doesn’t even try pulling away, instead leaning into it. Is this due to fatigue or could it be…? No, it can’t be. The fever explains too much for her little fantasy to take root.

“Touching your senpai without authorization, huh…?”

Kumi doesn’t move her hand, even now.

“What’s your birthday, actually, Sugimoto?”

“April fourteenth.”

“Oh, so you’re like a month younger than I am,” he replies with a mellow voice. “Why call me senpai then?”

“Because you’re still a grade above mine.”

He puts his hand over hers, his gaze locked with hers. Her heart’s beating way too fast.

“That’s not very important now, is it…?” He tells her with a smile. “Y’know, actually, I prefer it with you here…”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really… so, like, if you don’t mind… maybe you could stay here until that nurse comes back or something?”

“Oh, of course, no problem!”

He’s practically falling asleep in her arms, but playing guardian angel sounds like a good thing, as long as it’s for him; so she lets worry and relief mix until the door opens again.

As typical of Nitta, he has one last surprise in his pocket, and it’s the one to take her out.

“Hey, Sugimoto?”

“Yeah?”

“You’re over Tsubasa, right?”

“Oh, yeah, I’ve been for some time. Why?”

“Just askin’.” He snickers. “Who am I kidding? I’m asking that for myself.”

“You mean…?”

Her heart is pulsing inside her throat and throughout her entire body.

“I think I like you.”

“I… like you too.”

He gives her the softest smile she’s ever seen from him; only for him to fall asleep right after that.

TMNT ships and shipkids? >:3

oooo boy ima assume you mean from my friend and I's story and not canon cuz I have no canon ships- none that I can think of, at least.

thank you for asking as always Meelu, I'm enjoying this excuse to ramble and explain so I can post art later on!

Adelaide and Donatello

Raphael and Maisie

Lucas and Leo

Yuki and Mikey

the ship kids I made have plenty pictures but I won't include them here cuz i dont think it would be fair to the others. they dont have pictures yet for... a reason that I'm sure you'll understand.

(color coded so its not confusing, and oldest to youngest)

Adamo and Bambinali

Nick, Koda, and Sakari

June Rei

Misaki, Teddy, Wakatoshi, Thea, Fuyumi, Sebastian, and Saemi

It's a running joke that Mikey, even though he was the youngest, was the first to be married, the first to give Splinter a grandchild, and has the most kids.

Here's a lil run down on all of them and their personality:

Adamo: Very shy and timid. He's a biology and writing nut. Mama's boy and hes proud. Gets dragged along on adventures by his sister.

Bambinali: Rowdy and loud. Extroverted out the wazoo. She also has issues getting out her emotions and takes care of it with boxing.

Nick: Very angy boy. He will throw down. Kinda standoffish with new people but he opens up and runs you wild once you get to know him.

Koda: Baby! Baby Koda! Sweet quiet turtle boy. He loves his parents and siblings very very much and would do anything for them. Overall just very kind and loving.

Sakari: She's like a tame version of Leo. Sarcastic and witty but also prefers to sit on the sidelines while her cousins get into trouble. But she will thrown down with Nick whenever he gets on her nerves.

June Rei: OOOO Very puffy lil ferret bab. Has trouble calming down and seems to have infinite energy. Rough and tumble lil princess.

Misaki: Staple eldest sister. She's very athletic. Also enjoys helping her parents out so they don't go insane. Responsible and Intimidating (to her younger siblings).

Teddy: Chill older brother. Literally does not care. He will totally help his little sisters put Sebastian on the ceiling for fun. Tried to get Thea to grow weed once.

Wakatoshi: Boho style. Loving and gives the BEST hugs. Takes after his dad in the artist department. Wears a bunch of beaded jewelry.

Thea: Reads a crap ton of books. Botanist; loves her plants to death. She is very sassy and takes fashion tips from her mom. Will terminate her siblings if they mess with her babies (House plants).

Fuyumi: Emo. Wears LOTS of black clothing and jewelry. Protective of her siblings and will beat people up if they mess with her family.

Sebastian: Grunge lil boy. He gives off a very off-putting vibe but is secretly super gentle fr. still acts tough tho, dont doubt it.

Saemi: The youngest cutie patootie. Everyone babys her to no end. She is skiddish and will hide in her shell at the slightest scare. Mikey usually cradles her to coax her back out. if that doesn't work, he brings out a funny persona to make her laugh.

@ilike2drawstuff

^ Leo and Mikey's kids and significant others are their ocs, btw. I'm showing them off bc their characters are magnificent- THANK YOU for letting me talk abt ur wee babes.

My Review of Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro: 2nd Attack

First season review here.

Like a moth to a flame, I return to something that I know isn’t good for me to watch. I’ve made my point very clear about how I felt watching the first couple of episodes of Miss Nagatoro two years ago. But I also felt like there was a massive change within the characters since then. I don’t know, maybe I’ve succumbed to this weird Stockholm Syndrome I’m witnessing.

HISTORY: Naoto Hachiouji is a timid boy. This will be the one and only time you will see his real name. Everyone calls him “Senpai” so I shall do so in this review. Senpai doesn’t like confrontations or hanging out with anybody. You’ll usually find him in the art room or library working on his drawings. His quiet world is shattered one afternoon when he finds four loud girls sitting in the library. One incident of Senpai dropping his drawings sparks interest in one of the four girls. Hayase Nagatoro has an immediate fascination with her quiet and shy senpai.

Now when I say “fascination”, I mean Nagatoro teases the ever-loving crap out of this boy every chance she gets. It’s usually customary for an underclassman to respect their senpai. But all of that is thrown out the window with this anime. You can say this is just Uzaki-chan in a high school setting and the main heroine doesn’t have a big rack. Also, Nagatoro is just fucking brutal. Senpai was reduced to tears by the end of episode 1 this bullying was that bad!

SECOND ATTACK: I guess we’re right back to the tail-end of the culture festival and it’s primarily the same thing.

Senpai breathes. Nagatoro attacks. Pervy! Creepy! Hahaha! Something absurd happens that could be taken the wrong way. Jealousy. More laughing at this boy.

…Yeah, that’s pretty much all there is to it. It’s the same thing as last season. I mean, yeah, there are several changes here. We see a more vulnerable Nagatoro at times. Senpai switched up his appearance a bit by changing to contact lenses. And at least this season doesn’t consist of Senpai being bullied to the point of tears like last time. Though the awkwardness is up 1000% here.

LICENSING: Crunchyroll still has a hold on this anime and as expected, they released their usual number of dubs in the weeks following the premier. And of course, we got the return of the English cast from the other year with Kimberly Anne Campbell and Erik Kimerer.

NEW CHARACTERS INTRODUCED: I mean, there were a few here and there so I guess they deserve a nod.

Let’s start with Nagatoro’s sister, Misaki. She’s a Nagatoro all right, she’s a teaser just like her baby sister. And yes, she sees that her sister like Senpai.

Speaking of relations, remember the art president from last season with the curvy body? Now that Sana’s graduating, her little cousin Hana is now enrolled in the school and keeping Senpai company in the art room.

JAPANESE CAST: *Misaki is played by Yoshino Nanjou (known for Eli on Love Live, Awatsuki on Railgun, Aiko on Baka & Test, and Sonia on Berserk 2016)

*Hana is played by Sayumi Suzushiro (known for Kei on Kaguya-sama and Kurena on 86)

ENGLISH CAST: *Misaki is played by Vivian Lu

*Hana is played by Xanthe Huyhn (known for Menma on Anohana, Hanyuu on Higurashi Gou, Platelets on Cells at Work, Takina on Lycoris Recoil, Haru on Persona 5, Hanayo on Love Live, and Hidomi on FLCL: Progressive)

RANDOM NOTE: Art president is still at it. Seriously, how the hell can she run that fast in heels and in that bunny-girl costume without spraining an ankle, have a nip-slip, tearing fabric, or working up a sweat? I’m convinced this bitch ain’t human!

SHIPPING THE SECOND ATTACK: What do you mean Senpai doesn’t know Nagatoro’s first name? That’s like first episode knowledge! To be fair, the most Senpai has to go on is what her friends call her “Hayacchi”. But in anime romcoms, one of the biggest moments would be for one of the characters to call the other character by their first name. We went through a lot of that shit in the second season of Uzaki-chan. Every so often, we do get genuine moments between Senpai and Nagatoro like when Senpai stuck up for Nagatoro or when Senpai asked Nagatoro’s first name. Besides that, it’s the usual Nagatoro acting all tsundere when someone asks if she likes Senpai, but will flip if she sees Senpai with another girl.

Anything else to go on?

Um…how about these two going on a date? More details below.

ENDING: This has been a pretty productive season. Not when it comes to admitting one likes the other or something like that. Hell no! Character growth, I meant. Nagatoro showed a lot of growth when it came to practicing judo again. I was aware of this arc going into this season and it was nice to see this other side to Nagatoro besides the teasing and taunting. As for Senpai…he started wearing contact lenses and it stuck around.

During the judo competition, Nagatoro baited Senpai with a kiss. If he wins a competition, she’ll reward Senpai with a kiss. Did he win a competition? Hell no, Senpai wound up flat on his back in his first match. But then Nagatoro asked Senpai the next time she wins to promise her a kiss. Yeah, could you be any more obvious here? We all know both of you like each other. But we gotta get the minor cast of characters to nudge them into going on a date. Hana Sunomiya (the younger cousin of the art president) especially nudges Senpai to ask Nagatoro on a date. After a lot of back-and-forth between the two and their terrible ideas for dates. Seriously, who the hell would ever suggest going to a dog fight for a date? Senpai, the fuck is wrong with you?!

Thankfully, we get a more romantic scene after that stupidity (music and all) where Senpai runs to Nagatoro to formally ask her out on a date to the aquarium. The two of them felt really good during this moment. The next day, their minds were pretty much pudding and that left their friends thinking they have to interfere. Sana and little cousin Hana are going to prevent anyone from messing with their date. Meanwhile, Nagatoro’s friends Gamou and Yoshi jumped to every wrong conclusion by thinking Nagatoro is going to take away Senpai’s virginity.

Where would they get a stupid idea like that? Oh, I don’t know. How about any time anyone here mentions Senpai’s virginity and dirty stuff like that?! I forgot how immature high schoolers are.

The date at the aquarium went…well, how would you expect a date (or mock-date) to go in this anime? Nagatoro’s going to keep calling Senpai creepy. Nagatoro’s going to be critical about this trip with Senpai. Senpai is going to do that gesture that now looks weird after wearing contact lenses. To be fair, he’s been doing it since putting the contact lenses in. It’s still weird. Nagatoro is going to get jealous and threatened being surrounded by all the other couples at the aquarium. Senpai is going to be oblivious to what Nagatoro really wants. And Senpai is going to have one chivalrous moment. Everything I said here is exactly what happened and doesn’t need to go any further.

Nagatoro seemed to have had a fun time on today’s date. Even though she gave it a score of 50 out of 1000 points, she had fun. And we end with a hug…No, not really. Because they were interrupted by Nagatoro’s friends and the Sunomiya cousins. In short, that moment was ruined. Nagatoro was pretty steamed with her friends and Hana felt guilty. But all was forgiven eventually. They got to hug eventually. That’s how they ended the season at least.

Okay, I’m feeling much better about this than I did when I first started watching this anime. I let some time pass since watching those episodes where Nagatoro made Senpai cry and let the actions of this season swirl around my head a bit. There’s not a lot I can say to sway people to watching this as teasing chicks and wimpy boys can sometimes be a trigger point for some people. Like I said last time, if you were a fan of Uzaki-chan, this is probably another one to check out. They’re both very similar in story.

After watching both Uzaki and Nagatoro’s second seasons this past year, I’ve come to the conclusion that Nagatoro and Senpai are ahead in the romance department. Yeah, I feel like Uzaki and Sakurai have gone like several steps backwards compared to these two. But I feel that’ll be more of a discussion for a different day and review. Possibly if either one of these guys gets a third season. I feel like things might get a little interesting in the future as Senpai is a third-year in high school and that means he has his whole future ahead of him to plan. But again, if and when that happens, I’m interested to see what plays out between him and Nagatoro.

Okay, that’s it from me. If you want to watch Nagatoro, Crunchyroll has both seasons available. While you’re there, if you want to check out Uzaki-chan too, it’s there as well.
