IDEK WHERE THE IMAGES R FROM IM SEEING EVERYWHERE BUT CANT FIND VIDEO BUT HEY LOOK DID U SEE THIS (from someone random blog post bc idek where to find the original)

NEW SPRITFESSS TIME SKIP REAL TIME SMIP REALFL

NEW SPRITES NEW SPRITES AWAHHWAHFHEAJIORERER

I posted my thoughts on the outfits when that big compilation image came out but now that we have visible LEGS for the all the charas now I feel obligated to update my thoughts fdsafadsfs. Put under a cut cause I have a feeling its gonna be long fdsfdsafs

Original thought post

Original post listed in the ask

ALSo, the images are from the new hypmic flava trailer posted on their yt channel here :3

Ichiro: We saw him in full before, but I just want to reiterate how they intentionally got rid of all the connections Ichi had to the bros within his clothing. From Jiro's blue on his sleeves, the zip up shirt they all shared, and having the iconic BB lettering not there anymore- it seems like they're trying to distance Ichi's character from being so bro centric. Maybe to show growth how he's going to be more independent? It's a bit odd because being dependent isn't Ichi's flaw, that's Jiro and Saburo's... Maybe it's to show how THEYRE distancing from HIM 🤔

Jiro: This hair change is such a W for Jiro fans!! It was unclear if he actually changed it in art prior but this is a W SUCH A W!!! I miss the white stripes on his shoulders for contrast reasons but he looks just like a more mature version of his old design. It looks like he's wearing the checkered shirt instead of wrapping it around his waist which is cuter and makes much more sense fdsafdsfds.

Saburo: He looks all grown up LOL The time skip is only supposed to be a few months from what I recall, so at most he's now 15 but imo I think they're keeping them to og ages tbh. The mustard is such a good look for him! The more pastel yellow and school uniform esc coat of his old design did a lot to keep him looking / feeling young so this new design feels like he's growing up to be more comfortable to be who he is ;_;

Samatoki: He looks just as hot and he's somehow showing even MORE skin despite having a jacket lmao. Those popping buttons I see you Toki fdsafdsaf. Again he looks less like a gangster / yakuza but I wonder if they're trying to lean into that look. He pretty. Real pretty...

Jyuto: Thoughts have pretty much stayed the same, it reads like an Extra Wardrobe outfit rather than something he'd wear on the daily. In the new arc did he stop wearing his uniform since the government shut down? Did he just say fuck the dress code? I do like the outfit, it makes him look a lil more sleazy LOL

Rio: Rio looks good he looks good!! I don't have much thoughts on him since I never really do but I still find it hilarious he has the same pants as his old outfit.

Ramuda: He looks excellent as always but I do agree with the original poster that I miss his blue :C I think the yellow makes him look really young and it kinda doesn't jive with me ??? I love the hat though he looks very very cute. Ramuda also has the best shoes in the cast and I appreciate they didn't change it.

Gentaro: Gentaro is so funny I think they legitimately just made his back cape longer?? He also got rid of the high collar undershirt, which probably symbolizes that he's hiding less of himself to his friends. I love Gen but I need to see him not in motion to see how well this outfit fits him. ATM I think the longer cape messes up his silhouette by making him seem like a rectangle.

Dice: I miss the trench coat!! I miss the trench coat!!! I don't care if it would be smelly I miss the trench coat !!! I think getting rid of the black parts on his collar and outside his sleeves kind of make him look too... normal??? Like idk, where's the spice!! Give him fingerless gloves or sm shit he needs SOMETHING to make him look less like just a guy :C He's cute but I think his old fit is >>>

Jakurai: He looks SOOOOO GOOOD. We've seen this in full before but he looks CUUUTEEE. Like I'm no Jakurai stan but hooo boy that coat does smthn to me. He looks looser, like he's gonna have some fun, maybe go to the mall or smthn he looks good !!!!! Anons brought up Jakurai removing his doctor coat as a symbolism for his savior complex going away and I think it's really cool !!! One of the best new fits imo.

Hifumi: I like his og outfit much better I'm sorry 😭😭😭 I think with Materno's main color being light grey, Jakurai being in white, Doppo being a light grey now, Hifu being that off white just makes him blend together with the other members. Maybe it's the fact that he's set against a white background but he just gets lost among the other two. Having the darker colors concentrated around his head / upper body helps though.

Doppo: I love him my baby I love him I lve nye my baby my vobeoteoy frmajwfmweoijfghuefuwafjewanjmisafkowafewoawfeaiow. I say from my last post: "He’s getting loose he’s getting silly he’s CRAZY DOPPO IN THE HOUSE !!!"

Sasara: I like the outfit on it's own but I kind of... hate how it's matching with Rosho. SasaRo enjoyers rejoice but I don't like how it doesn't allow Sasara (and Rosho in turn) be his own character. It was mainly an issue I had with Rosho but this new fit puts in on Sasara too, that it kind of forces you to look at him in the lense of his relationship with Rosho rather than who he is as a chara on it's own. Also they made him less colorful :CC The bowtie is super cute though I like it.

Rosho: Rosho does look cute but again I wish it wasn't so obviously a callback to his relationship with Sasara!! I do like the hair, it's very cute fdsafdsa. He looks a lot more comfortable and a lot more confident but I'm unsure if its due to character development or just for cool points. Rosho looks like he smells good

Rei: He's too grey 💀 TOO GREY !!! I think getting rid of the hat and glasses was such a downgrade it does not look very good. It's a lot of my issues with Hifu's outfit without actually having a good clothing design to make up for it. I think it's nice how it could possibly be a call back to Kazuma Kiryu but that doesn't really make up for it :/

Kuko: I was wrong his hair did not get shorter 💀💀💀 But he is INCREDIBLE !! IT'S VERY GOOD!!! I have nothing to complain / nitpick about I think it's very good. (one nitpick I guess FDSAFDS. His bright hair now seems a bit out of place against the darkness of his clothing. Maybe making the purple accent stripes blue or red would have made it better? Unsure though.

Jyushi: He looks very good but I wish they gave him more interesting pants they're very underwhelming compared to his incredible top!! Like imagine sm crazy shit like lace racing stripes, some peekaboo patterns in triangles at the bottom of his flares, it would be very cute !!!

Hitoya: Very cute, very good, a stark improvement from his original look I have nothing else to say fdskafdasfdsa. Again, a 35 year old baby.

I think for some of the characters the outfits really really really really work (Doppo, Hitoya, Jakurai) but for a lot of them I think their original looks were much more iconic and much more fitting to themselves (Dice, Sasara, Rei). I hope we still get content put out with their original outfits because I'd legitimately be sad to never see Dice in his trench coat again :C

Junko is a being of chaos. That’s for sure. And as a being of madness she loves one thing, sexual tension~

So what she did is very simple, she went into V3’s class, composed of the 8 girls and a cute, adorable, laughably shy but hot emo detective, and decided madness needed to ensue~… so what she did was pretty simple, she somehow convinced him to do a photo shoot to help her (bouncing those fashonista gyaru tits made her quite convincing) and took a naked pic of him~!.. his face and expression absolutely adorable and shy and cute and Awwww inducing.. and revealing how is cock was.. MASSIVE! The boy was known for being untrusting in himself, shy, assertive, but also as Kaede would say, to have the potential of being so much, mainly due to his many skills, and how cool and competent he was when passionate by a case (or someone tried to touch the hat, no one touches the hat) the concept of beta and alphas may be laughable… but that cock represents VERY well how much of a beast can Shuichi be once he gets some confidence~! A massive pulsating made for breeding and pleasure fat cock, with massive pair of balls that could probably cover each girl’s entire room in a few shot… and themselves~

Now what would be every girl in V3’s class reaction to it~? (Each reaction separately (a la Angie who groped ass)

Bonus point if some of the girls aren’t that innocent, if the reaction are varied, in character but mainly cute and hot, and if every girl is way bigger and sexier than in canon~ (like kirumi miu Kaede and tsumoomoo being so large they’ll make bimbo porn actress and amazons look small and flat~ and Angie having a GIGA ass that was the reason Atua was so popular~)

Disclaimer: Below is content that's more on the racy side! If not for you, you probably shouldn't read!

"I've prepared a very titillating show for you eight miss-outs!~ Let's give it everything we've got, iiiii'ts cock display tiiiiiime!~"

Kirumi:

"He...certainly is quite the grower." Kirumi said softly. The voluptuous maid whispered to herself. She was in the midst of sweeping when she got the message. She tried to remain stoic but...increasingly found herself unable to really look away. After several minutes, she even found herself alarmed to find that has been groping one of her melon sized breasts for who knows how long. Huffing, the maid hurries herself to her restroom. Maybe she can squeeze Shuichi into her schedule later on?

Himiko:

"N-nyeeeh...."

Himiko was instantly taken aback by seeing such a massive rod and grew instantly flushed. There...was still an hour before show time right? Locking her dressing room door, the redhead began to finger herself as she continued watching suck an impressive specimen. After this show, she definitely was going to make his cock disappear!

Miu:

"Th-that whore-ass bitch!! H-h-how did she...oooo!!!"

She couldn't lose like this!! She was going to be the one to claim Poo-ichi! Her! The smartest, sexiest and baddest bitch in their entire community! But...if that's how its going to be this meant war!!! She was currently sleeping in the buff when she got the photo. Not even bothering to put on any clothes, Miu raced out of her place to her workshop.

Her latest project: The Bimbo-inator!! If its a blonde bombshell Shuichi wanted, they she'd just have to make herself more appealing. Make her ass fatter! Make her E-cups to F cups! Even reduce her IQ if she had to!~ By her claim as the greatest inventor - she would make that damn emo twink hers!!

Tsumugi:

"Wow...it's plain to see that she really went for the fanservice route with this one!~"

Tsumugi gazed lustfully at the picture of Shuichi...and continued to scroll past. You see, one of the perks of being under Junko's service (granted, these perks were vary far in-between due to the chaotic nature of her 'boss') was that, in exchange for agreeing to quite the lewd cosplay later, Junko would snag some great pictures for the cosplay...f-for references of course! And only for Tsumugi's eyes to see.

That's right Junko lifting his heavy cock. Posing to suck on it. Sending Shuichi's fat, milky, ass that anyone would like to pound. Groping his large, cum heavy, balls!~ Yes...this would heavily 'inspire' Tsumugi's next ero-line!~

Angie:

"Nyahahaha!~ God has really blessed our little detective greatly. I must get him to join us!~"

Angie happily hummed as she continued to work. Her current project? A rather lewd display of Shuichi's large, succulent, cock!~ Sculpted to exact length and perfect!~ That wasn't the only thing Angie had worked on. For the past hour, she had painted, carved, sketched, even used clay to portray just how hung and sexy Shuichi was.

If someone were to open up the door, they would have saw a fat-assed artist, creating murals for some sort of God. Though if they mistook Shuichi for one, Angie wasn't going to correct them.

Tenko:

"I-I knew it! Shuichi has become a true degenerate!! I...I'll punish him for this!"

Tenko had immediately left the dojo, her toned thighs working over time to get to the detective's agency. She..she'll definitely punish him! It to be because of that big...filthy...nasty....alluring....dick! That dick! Y-yes, it had to be because of it! Tenko will punish him by ensuring that can never rise again! She'll put it between her thighs...rock back and forth on it...and if he's not cumming from that, maybe her fat, firm, ass could do the trick.......

T-to punish him of course!!!

Maki:

"Eh? What was that?"

Security guards glanced towards the bushes...but at that point Maki had quickly moved to a different location on the other side. Quickly scurrying up a tree and looking heavily annoyed...right? The assassin was surveying a government complex and had taken a moment to glance at her phone. She usually doesn't bother looking at her phone, but upon seeing a message from Shuichi, one of her few friends that know not to bother her when she's working unless its for an emergency, she decidedto take a quick glance...

She was ashamed to admit that upon seeing what Shuichi was packing, she gasped a bit and had to quickly ditch her last hiding place before the guards caught her. Grrr...it wasn't like Shuichi to do this...it had to be Junko!! Gah, the Hell he was doing with her!? Wasn't she good enough for him, too? She might not have her chest...but she sure as Hell had at least a well toned body and a pretty nice ass too. She...she'll kill him with it once she gets home!!

Kaede:

"Take a look at this!~"

Junko had personally arrived that morning right in front Kaede's place. Smirking as she shoved the phone of Shuichi's monster cock right in front of Kaede's face. She knew damn well how much she pined for Shuichi...and what better way to induce despair than to show off the cock of her crush at the hands of an outsider!~

"So how does it feel seeing such a long fuckrod, hm?~ How it rised just for me and not for you!~ Are in you in despair?~"

......."N-no that's wrong."

Huh? Junko blinked...and it was then that she realized some things now that she had time to calm down. First of all, Kaede was wearing a pink bathrobe that seemed to have been put on in the rush. The tall woman's large pale breasts were mostly exposed and Junko could easily see that she wasn't even wearing panties under there! Second of all, her face was heavily flushed and she was breathing heavily. Thirdly, there was a...scent in the air. A scent that she was pretty familiar with...because it came from the guy she was with yesterday! Looking past Kaede, her eyes widened at what she saw on her couch.

A buck ass naked Shuichi, totally naked, sweating and cock absolutely still dripping heavy droplets of cum from the session with Kaede that he had.

Smiling coyly, Kaede flashed a peace sign at Junko. "Keep the picture, I'm happy I got the real thing!~"

2022 top memorable media experiences (top left to bottom right)

short reviews/impressions under

Witch Hat Atelier - Reread and caught up on this. Still one of the best ongoing manga series. Everything about it from the art to the characters to the plot/themes it is covering is A+. Praying that the adaptation of this ends up doing it justice. If there is anything that deserves a godlike adaptation, its this.

A Rose in the Twilight - Bought a bundle of horror games by nippon ichi and this was the one that probably clicked with me the most. Sort of janky but great game with a lovely aesthetic and story to it. Yomawari 2 is also p great from the same bundle.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Honestly one of the most pleasant experiences of the year. Just great vibes from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii - This finished early in the year and while the middle is rather ???, the last 2 vols are perfect. It ended exactly how I wanted it to. I need more yuri stories like this one as I live for this sort of content.

Shokei Shoujo - Speaking of yuri, this series was made for me. Everything in it. The characters, the themes, the plot, the aesthetic is all directly pandering to me. Adored the anime and loved the 3 vols I read of it. Definitely one of the things I need to read more of. Easily in the top 3 of new things I got into this year.

Grim Grimoire - Much smaller scale story than 13sen but in some ways I think it was more memorable to me. Really enjoyed it. Hopefully it gets a sequel that was planned originally one of these days now since the remaster happened.

Amatsutsumi - The best visual novel I read this year hands down. The 1st chapter is great, the 2nd/3rd chapter is forgettable as hell but the final chapter is exactly the type of writing I read vns for. Hotaru is such an intensely interesting character. The finale is perfect.

Tsui no Stella - Great short game by Romeo. Very interesting and enjoyable world building and fully makes use of the time it has with its story. One of the best short vns I’ve read.

Kuro to Kuro to Kuro no Saidan - I went in this thinking it would be a nukige with a maybe okay plot/writing because of Shumon. But turned out to be actually a competent dark fantasy story with some interesting worldbuilding. Enjoyable from start to finish with the only issue being some of the endings are pretty unneeded but thats a old game sort of thing so.

Yume no Kuni kara Mezametemo - Great 1 vol yuri story. Loved the themes it went into and the writing style was really good. Very much want to recommend it to people who like to claim japan isn’t progressive since alot of the stuff it went into was very relevant topics about minorities, males in lesbian spaces, patriarchal society and how these systems hurt people (work sekuhara, male ‘allies’), etc. I do feel it is sort of unmemorable a few months later but going through it, I loved it.

Dark Souls 1 - Went back and actually finished this 10 years later. Great game outside of the fire zone... for obvious reasons.

Happy Sugar Life - Exactly the type of yuri story I want. Very good story about abnormal love and adore how it went into different facets of it through different characters. Glad to finally have gotten around to finish it.

Signalis - Loved it. Great survival horror game with a good aesthetic. Definitely looking forward to what the devs do in the future.

FuyuKuru - HONESTLY SPEAKING, I had alot of problems with this game going through it but the final few scenes of the game honestly GRIPPED ME so hard. The way Watanabe makes the end of the world and humanity’s extinction into something so hopeful is insane and I love him for it. The road might have been rough but the journey was sure worth it.

Sayonara Eri - Still probably my favorite work from Fujimoto. Short, sweet but has a big impact and covers some great themes.

Kaguya-sama S2 and S3 - Honestly sort of fell off Kaguya-sama at the beginning of S2 but going back and finishing these and its still great. Really loved it.

Hello, JJK got me into anime then I started reading the manga. I saw your post on Shonen endings and wanted to know if you had any reccomendations? I'm not picky so anything really I just need a new hyperfixation.

So good news, I can recommend anything from the original list I gave. But for a beginner, I'll highlight a few of them.

Haikyu!!, honestly a great into into sports anime and if you love series that have a focus on character moments and dynamics Haikyu!! is the one for you. Not only did it have a fantastic ending, it has a fantastic beginning and middle. It's about volleyball but you don't have to know a thing about the sport if you want to start.

Mob Psycho 100. Genuinely one of my favorite series ever period. It's such a great show and manga. It's about a boy named Shigeo, nicknamed Mob (hence the title),

Full Metal Alchemist. Watch it then read it or read it then watch it. I can't stress enough how good this series is.When you watch it you'll either love it, or find out why so many people do.

Zatch Bell!. Zatch Bell holds a special place in my heart for being a show I watched very early on and rented at the library before I completely forgot about it. I remembered my fondness for the show and spent days searching for it until I found it and binged it in a week. It's about the title character, Zatch Bell who is a Mamodo, partnering with a schoolboy, Kiyo, for a once in a millenium tournament on Earth to determine who rules the Mamodo world. (And a sequel is currently running I believe...)

Golden Kamuy (completed) OR Dogsred (ongoing). Both are by the same author, Satoru Noda, and I really enjoy his writing. He's great at writing humor while also keeping it serious and something I really like is that he knows when to let a moment hang by itself. Golden Kamuy is about a veteran and a young Ainu girl going on a treasure hunt (ends up way more wild than that). And Dogsred is about an ice skater joining a hockey team (also way more than that).

Full list from previous post. I can recommend all of these but they vary wildly in length (I.E. Gintama is 704 chapters) so keep that into account:

(Haikyu!!, Slam Dunk, Assassination Classroom, Mob Psycho 100, Dororo, Gurren Lagann, Zatch Bell, Chainsaw Man, Trigun, Ashita no Joe, Gintama, JJBA , Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Beck, Pandora Hearts, Great Teacher Onizuka)

Also for full clarity, Shonen is a demographic, not a genre. So while the previous recommendations are shonen, I can recommend some that aren't.

Akatsuki no Yona

Mushi-shi (Somewhere up there with one of my favorite series)

Monster and Pluto (same author both fantastic stories)

Vagabond

Vinland Saga

Smoking behind the Supermarket with You

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Frieren

Natsume's Book of Friends

The Apothecary Diaries

Dungeon Meshi (can't recommend this enough and has a recent anime out)

Ouran Highschool Host Club

Wotakoi

Cowboy Bebop

Samurai Champloo

Black Lagoon

Now what I'm reading currently is kind of a lot. I like to have a swathe of manga I am caught up with but read weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on the schedule. There are a few here and there that I might miss but here they are.

Chainsaw Man

Blue Period

Gachiakuta

Dandadan

Witch Hat Atelier

Gokuragakai

Make the Exorcist Fall in Love

Skip to Loafer

Wind Breaker

Fool Night

After God

Sanda

The Summer Hikaru Died

Kagurabachi

Undead Unluck

Ichi the Witch - This one started recently and currently has 3 chapters out. If you want an ongoing series with a growing fanbase check this out. The team behind it is also great.

Kai-Hen Wizards - Also currently 3 chapters. Looks interesting so you might wanna check this out as well.

Marriage Toxin

Centuria

How Do We Realtionship?

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity

Hirayasumi

Medalist

Yotsuba&!

Firefly Wedding

Akane-Banashi

Don't feel like you have to read a bunch of series. New series come out all the time, just give something a chapter or two to gauge your interest and start reading.

#pocket rambles #I'd give more descriptions but I'm doing this on a phone #Hope you enjoy a few series #Or at least find something you might like

the anon who asked about Megumi and Toji here, thank you so much for answering my question! I love your answers/posts with all that mental gymnastics and investigation, really!

I want to add something: Toji died in 2006, Megumi was even much younger the last time he saw Toji, so I understand if he doesn't remember everything about his father, especially if said father was absent. What made me think of 'repression/suppression' as you said, is the fact that he couldn't even "make the connection" with what happened in Shibuya, and we know Megumi is a smart boy. I mean ... he remembers that his father married Tsumiki's mother but it seems like he doesn't even remember his father's name? he can't make the connection between the name and the man who looks a lot like him? so I thought it could be somehing psychological? that's why I came to you with my question, to know your opinion about. I almost always see that Megumi's apparent disinterest in Toji is taken as a "normal" disinterest, and not as something deeper, with pain and anger behind it. thanks again!

P.S: the headcanon you brought up... it already hurt me to think about little Megumi, now even more.

P.S 2: sorry if there are mistakes, english isn't my language.

HEEEEEY anon! Welcome back. お帰り！

Thanks for the kind comments ;^; some times I do wonder if my mental gymnastics aren’t a bit on the deep end LOL, so I appreciate your comment a lot.

Man... all I'll say is that I'm glad I'm drinking coffee bahaha.

Put your thinking hat on because we either have a maths problem in the chronology of events or Gege has no clue about school-aged children.

Ok so... hear me out...

Regarding Toji dying in 2006, I've always wondered if that panel of baby Megumi looking all sad was Toji's last memory of him--it kind of feels like it.

It just didn't make sense in my head that it was the last time Toji saw him because Megumi looks younger than a 6 year old in the image.

Again, I am going by this idea that Toji married Tsumiki's mom when Megumi was 6 years of age (or in the 1st grade). And it’s not like one can make assumptions about 2D characters and their age.

If we do the maths, per the manga, Gojo is a second year (16/17 years old) during the Hidden Inventory Arc. Which means the events in the arc took place approximately 12 years prior to 2018, or as you say, in 2006.

(i.e. if Gojo is 28 in 2018, he would have been 16 in 2006)

BUT... if we do the maths again, per the manga, Toji married Tsumiki's mom when Megumi was in 1st grade, which would have been around 2009 (i.e. if Megumi is 15 in 2018, he would have been 6 in 2009).

Wait... what?

UNLESS, by 1st grade this is meant to be Kindergarten and not Primary/Elementary school? Which would have meant Megumi was 3 at the time, which would mean it was in fact in 2006 that Toji married Tsumiki’s mom.

Anon. either we just totally found a plot hole or I totally misinterpreted what "1st grade" is meant to entail.

It depends on whether the translators localized the text. So I went looking for Japanese raws (as I like to do in situations like these) aaaaaand.....

Nope... it indeed says “when I was in 1st grade” (shou ichi no toki).

So I did some more digging aaaaaaand....

According to romajidesu.com, it is a noun used for a first year elementary school student.

I also tried various google searches along the lines of “1st grade kindergarten Japan” but everything always came back to 1st grade = Primary/Elementary school.

Thoughts?

I have the feeling that since Gege revealed when Toji married Tsumiki's mom prior to starting the Hidden Inventory Arc, he probably did not think to double check his dates when he started the following arc.

It wouldn't be the first time he makes an honest mistake.

Maths aside...

Ya your train of thought makes a lot of sense!

If Megumi was indeed 3 when Toji abandoned him, then it would make all the more sense that Megumi does not remember him and we can just assume it’s because he was too young to create long-term memories about Toji (that hippocampus was still very much developing).

THIS TAKING PLACE IN 2006 WOULD EXPLAIN SO MANY THINGS TOO bahaha.

Also, I was totally thinking the same as you.

Like... Megumi, dude... you might as well be looking at your reflection in a mirror!

I look a lot like my either of parents depending on who sees me, but it’s not like I'd be able to recognize myself in them.

Honestly, your ask sent me on a goose chase because I have always seen Megumi as someone who represses himself. Part of it is my personal interpretation of some of the panels, and part of it is because that’s what the Jungian shadow is partly about--a storehouse for repressed materials.

So from that perspective, in my head, it makes sense that Megumi would repress memories of Toji. Repression is baked into his character from how I see it, and he learned it from daddy.

But alas, we don’t know that with certainty because Gege has not made a somewhat canonical explicit statement about it.

Megumi’s disinterest in Toji

Yeeeees, totally. I’ve seen that perspective about how Megumi truly does not care about Toji. Evidence of it is considered to be Megumi canonically saying “I don’t care where he is or what he’s doing”.

I may be contradicting myself here since I totally just wrote about what I consider to be canonical and how implied subtext is open to interpretation.

That said, my personal interpretation is very much based on real Psychological science:

From developmental research, I can tell you that a young child’s life completely revolves around their caregiver because it depends on them for EVERYTHING to survive in the world.

It isn’t until a child gets to be around school age (don’t quote me on the age, I could be wrong and I didn’t look it up this morning) that the child starts exploring relationships outside of the familial unit. This exploration of relationships outside of the familial unit becomes all the more obvious during the teen years.

So, honestly, it makes ZERO sense to me that Megumi might not have some sort of resentment or negative emotional associations to Toji since that period of time he might have spent with Toji is VERY formative emotionally and psychologically.

We’re talking about deep, archetypal emotional bonds and Developmental Psychology here. Needing to be looked after by our caregivers is baked into our human nature.

Consider how, from a Neuropsychological perspective, all of Megumi’s experiences with Toji were basically shaping his brain. And the only way Megumi would not care about Toji is if Megumi was truly unfeeling and unemotional since birth--in which case we would have a kid diagnosed with an antisocial personality disorder.

That’s also how you get a character like Tokyo Babylon’s Sakurazuka Seishiro shameless CLAMP namedrop, and Psychologically-speaking, even he is a conundrum.

But saying Megumi is, without a shadow of a doubt terrible pun intended, someone with antisocial personality disorder, is not an accurate assessment since Megumi is not without feelings or emotions. Quite the contrary, he’s shown to be very caring, compassionate and kind.

While I can’t confirm that what I just wrote is exactly what Gege had in mind, Gege appears to be someone who has an acute understanding of Psychology. What’s more, Jungian Psychology, which appears to have influenced jjk, is not mainstream Psychological science and is instead considered a Depth Psychology because it looks below the surface at the possible root causes of surface level thoughts and behaviors.

All that to say that, again, I can’t imagine Gege truly meant for Megumi to be truly disinterested in Toji.

Psychologically it just doesn’t make sense.

Personal side note: I remember several years ago, one of my best friends’ dad died in a car accident.

The image of my friend sitting on the floor, wearing a weird smile on her face and holding a glass full of red wine early in the morning as she tells me “my dad just died in a car accident” is burned into my mind.

I think she was heartbroken but was not sure how to come to terms with his death.

Now. This man was not a part of her life and whenever she talked about him she often talked about him being physically abusive and an alcoholic.

I think my friend could pretend all day long that she didn’t care about him, but in the end, when it came down to it, she couldn’t help but care.

Human nature.

p.s. 1 about my headcanon

AH SORRY ANON!!!! bahaha. I am a certified Angst Merchant TM. I either seem to have a lot of unresolved grief or I just have access to a deep pool of collective human grief that I like exploring from time to time because I am also a certified masochist.

tbh I came up with the headcanon one day when I wanted to write a fanfic and I was trying to come up with ideas to write about. The image I kept seeing in my mind’s eye was Megumi sitting alone in an almost empty room, the sun going down, and Toji nowhere to be seen.

Again, going back to this idea that a child should be completely unfeeling in this kind of scenario just makes ZERO sense. Even if it’s a headcanon, if you felt something when my headcanon conjured that image in your mind, just imagine how a child, Megumi in this case, might have felt living through that scenario.

p.s. 2 heeeeey, English isn’t my first language either. I appear to have mastery of English because I’ve been living in the US for the last 20 years.

Also, I would not have been able to tell that it isn’t your first language if you hadn’t said anything.

Cheers!

Great conversation. Thanks for reaching out :)

Can I request a kbtbb x SCM crossover where Leon falls for Eisuke's MC. Leon is just the same as he was in his S1 but he slowly starts developing feelings for MC. However, she is completely loyal to Eisuke. Can we get some twist and turns and a happy ending for Eisuke. I will be grateful if you could do it. By the way, Thanks for other beautiful stories that you have written.

KBTBB x SCM

A Lion’s Attempt at Love

LEON’S POV, PALACE IN THE HEAVENS, THE THRONE ROOM

I can’t believe this is happening.

‘And, therefore, the six of you will be sharing the mansion with these humans for three days. I’m sure you will have plenty of fun,’ he says, with that annoyingly knowing smile of his.

‘This is ridiculous, we’ve already opened up that place for the goddess, and now we have to open it up for an entire cluster of goldfish? Absolutely not,’ I retaliate but the trickster on the throne stares at me; the corners of his lips turn up into an even more annoying smirk.

‘It won’t kill you. Run along now, they’re waiting for you all,’ he says, and a bright light envelopes us. The warmth of it doesn’t reach my heart, it just irritates me further.

Opening my eyes, five men sit at the luxury couches of the main room. One in particular, with brown hair, sits in my spot in the middle. His arms outstretch against the top of the couch while a young woman sits beside him, fidgeting nervously with her thumbs.

Karno turns around as we appear, and he smiles at me.

‘Hey, did the King tell you?’ he asks. The heads of the goldfish look up with curiosity.

‘Yeah, he did that bastard-hey! Don’t touch that!’ the scorpion marches over to a blonde-haired goldfish holding a Punishments document.

‘Oops, guess the work is off limits,’ he says as Scorpio snatches back the piece.

‘Um, let’s all just calm down and talk. My name is Mitsunari Baba! You may call me ‘Baba’, ‘Mitchy’, or ‘Mitsunari’ if you want,’ the man in the black hat says with such joy it almost makes me want to actually turn him into a goldfish.

‘How about I call you ‘idiot’ instead?’ Scorpio says, huffing away to the chair in the corner.

I step forward further into the room, amused. ‘I didn’t realise you were in the habit of calling yourself out like that. I wouldn’t be trying so hard to annoy you if I knew,’ I respond, and with some sort of sick delight, watch the fumes rush out his ears in anger.

‘You stupid lion, shut up!’ he shouts back.

I sit down and cross my legs. ‘He’s a scorpion so he’s all bark and poison with no bite,’ I reply.

‘Why you-‘ he attempts to pounce but Dui and the fish hold him back.

‘Scorpio, stop!’ Dui says.

‘Um, let’s sit down. Vega, Altair, will you both provide us with some tea?’ Hue says, lightly pushing them out the door.

‘Here, I’ll introduce the others. Next to me is Ota Kisaki. The sleepy looking one is Mamoru Kishi, the scary looking one is Soryu Oh and the pretentious looking one is Eisuke Ichinomiya. The lovely lady sitting next to Eisuke is Vivian Grier, Eisuke’s fiancée.’

‘It’s nice to meet you all and we apologise for our King’s disturbance in your lives,’ Hue says. The six goldfish look at each other with wary looks.

‘It’s fine. Our lives were becoming boring anyway. At least we can pass the time with this,’ the man named Eisuke says. There’s a powerful glint in his eyes which I recognise in myself.

‘So no harm done! And all of you?’ the red suit goldfish says.

‘Well, I’ve already introduced myself. The one shouting murder and terror is Scorpio, the god of Scorpio, he’s the Vice Minister of the Department of Punishments; next to him is Dui, the god of Gemini and that is Ichthys, the god of Pisces. They are part of the Department of Punishments in the Heavens.’

The scorpion huffs away in distaste while Dui and Ichthys smile and wave.

‘This is gonna be fun!’ the fish says.

‘Ichy! You can’t do anything while they’re here,’ Dui frowns at him.

‘What does that mean?’ the older looking goldfish asks. His sleepy demeanor reminds me of Aigo.

‘Nothing!’

‘He’s a prankster,’ Scorpio answers with a scowl. Three out of six frown in disapproval while the other three seem to accept this fact.

‘How much harm can you do, pranking people?’ the blonde one asks.

‘He blew up the palace once,’ Hue answered indifferently. Their eyes widen.

‘By the way, who names their child, Scorpio?’ he asks again.

‘The King,’ the six of us reply, causing Scorpio to crinkle his face in disgust.

‘All I suggest is that you be careful. The one who answered is Huedhaut, the god of Aquarius; over there is Teorus, the god of Taurus and this,’ he points to me, ‘is Leon, the god of Leo, the Chief Minister of the Department of Wishes,’ Karno says it with such pride it nearly makes me smile.

‘It’s nice to meet you all,’ Hue says.

‘Hello!’ Teo also says.

Everyone turns towards me as I look up. I somehow lock eyes with the woman, but she quickly averts her gaze with a faint blush on her cheeks.

‘Leo,’ Karno whispers.

‘You want me to introduce myself? They’re just goldfish,’ I say, continuing to stare at her.

‘Goldfish?’

‘All humans are the same to us, just as all goldfish look the same and flock to beings more powerful than they are,’ I answer.

‘What nonsense. What about variability? Individuality?’ the dark-haired ‘scary looking one’ says with a frown.

‘Doesn’t matter. You’re all the same,’ I repeat, and he scowls at me as if I’m the only one who believes it. Everyone in the Heavens does.

‘I don’t care what happens during this week,’ the man sitting next to her suddenly begins, ‘there’s only one rule you will abide by,’

‘Oh ho, giving gods orders? You must be special,’ I say.

‘Yes, I am,’ he smirks and crosses his arms. ‘And you will follow this rule until we leave: my fiancée is off limits.’

‘Eisuke!’ she exclaims, for the first time she has been here.

‘You should listen to him, Eisuke always has his way, with gods or humans,’ the dark-haired man says. All the other humans nod furiously in agreement.

‘I believe that rule applies to the sex fiends in the room,’ Hue points out, looking at Teo and I specifically.

‘Me? I haven’t done anything yet!’ Teo protests.

‘As if I would bother pursuing a human, let alone a woman like her,’ I say. Her face scrunches at my insult.

‘Good, then we’ll have no problems living together,’ he says, taking out a rectangular piece of technology and begins tapping away at it.

Vega and Altair finally return with tea. The woman stands up and hurries over to them, taking the tray of teacups out of Altair’s hands.

‘Oh, thank you, but I can-‘ Altair begins.

‘No, it’s okay. It’s my job to provide refreshments,’ she says, placing the tray onto the coffee table.

‘Really?’ Vega asks. The god children look up at the woman with sparkles in their eyes.

‘Yes, I work at the hotel my fiancé owns as a maid,’ she answers, smiling with pride.

‘Wow, that’s so cool! What kind of things do you do?’ Vega asks with excitement. The woman casually talks and pours the tea as if she had been doing it for years.

‘Well, I work with other maids to tend to our guests who stay at the hotel. I clean the rooms they stay in by changing the bed sheets, dusting, and replenishing amenities,’ she takes the teacups and starts handing them out, ‘that means I replace all the empty bottles and towels and other things the guests use which we supply.’

She hands me a cup and our fingers touch briefly.

‘I also have an extra job as a maid, which is to clean the penthouse where us six live in the hotel,’ she continues, handing a cup to Karno who smiles a ‘thank you’ to her which she returns.

‘That’s a ‘very important people’ area for those who pay enough money to live in luxury,’ she says.

‘Oh, so you consider yourself a ‘very important people’?’ I interrupt with a question. She briefly looks at me but then shrugs her shoulders.

‘Not really. I’m pretty normal actually.’

‘Don’t be so modest, Vivian. You’re the only one who managed to squeeze herself into Boss’ little heart,’ the man named ‘Baba’ says. His knowing smile reminds me of a certain trickster King.

‘And you’re the only one who can manage being around this lot,’ the sleepy one named ‘Mamoru’ adds. He suddenly yawns. ‘Hey, there any beds to sleep in? I’m tired.’

‘You’re always tired,’ the dark-haired man, Soryu, says.

‘Shut up, it’s been a busy day!’

‘No it hasn’t. We’ve been to see the King and that’s it,’ Soryu argues.

‘You think any of this is normal?’

‘That’s enough.’ Eisuke orders.

‘Haha, they sort of remind me of you and Scorpio, Leo,’ Karno laughs, and I scowl at him.

‘Don’t you compare me to a pair of clownfish,’ I reply. I watch the woman sit next to her fiancé, smiling.

‘Hey!’

‘Pair of clownfish? Please, don’t group me in with them,’ Soryu says with frowning eyebrows.

‘We actually like to call these four the peanut gallery,’ Eisuke tells us.

‘Makes sense,’ Scorpio says, pushing a stack of documents onto Ichthys. ‘Will you hurry up and finish these already? Zig has been waiting for these!’

‘I’m sorry, I was going to do them but then the King called us to see him!’ Ichthys protests but is dragged away by Scorpio.

‘It’s nice to meet you all,’ Dui quickly says before rushing out to follow.

‘Hue, show the humans the guest rooms in the mansion,’ I order, and he nods in response. ‘But first,’

Everyone looks at me as I stand up and saunter over to the woman. She looks up and slowly stands up to face me.

‘You will work in this mansion as my maidservant.’

THE NEXT DAY

LEON’S POV, THE GOD’S MANSION, HIS CHAMBERS, 9AM

A knock at the door wakes me from my daze. I snap my fingers and the doors open.

‘Um, hello?’ Vivian asks, slowly walking into my room.

‘Open the curtains,’ I order her and lie back down.

‘Okay,’ I hear her respond. She shuffles across the room and soon the sunlight fills my bedroom, dispelling the darkness. I sit up and watch as she does the same to the other set of windows.

‘Do gods sleep?’ she asks.

‘Recreationally we can, but it’s not a requirement. What’s that?’ I ask, seeing a tray of tea and biscuits on the table.

‘Well, it’s morning. I figured you would order me to get you breakfast,’ she answers, pouring tea into the cup.

‘Gods don’t eat either,’ I say.

‘But you can, recreationally, right?’ she answers, looking back at me with a smile. She places the cup down as I stand behind her.

‘Do you need anything else?’ she asks. When she turns around, she jumps back but the back of her legs hit the chair. My finger lifts her chin up so that I can take a look at her face. A faint blush graces her skin. For a moment, she’s completely dazzled by my presence but that fades quick. Her small hand wraps around my wrist and pushes it away.

‘Oh? Don’t want to be touched by a god?’ I ask.

‘No. I only want to be touched by the man I love most in this world,’ she responds and pushes past me to leave.

‘Love doesn’t mean anything. You’ll come back to me begging for pleasure,’ I say with a smirk on my face, but it fades when I see pity in her eyes as she turns around.

‘How does a god who grants wishes to humans not understand how important love is? I really feel sorry for you if you don’t believe love means anything.’ Vivian walks away, leaving me with cooling tea and annoyance.

I continued working with Karno looking over my shoulder, but I couldn’t concentrate. Her words echoed in my mind and the way she looked at me didn’t fade. Love is based off of nothing but need. And I don’t need it. I’ve seen love destroy many gods in my life: my mother and father, Hue and Clotho and then Aigo with that goddess Phione. Men like Teo and Tauxolouve, even that sex fiend Partheno, play games and have as many goddess’ as they want because they don’t see love romantically either. Love has messed all of us up in some ways.

VIVIAN’S POV, THE MANSION COURTYARD, 13PM

I don’t know why Eisuke agreed to my being a maidservant to Leon. I guess he’ll tell me eventually. As soon as I left his room, I leaned against the wall to take a breath. He stood so close to me, and I could feel his warmth and powerful aura. But it didn’t make me feel the same way Eisuke does when he’s beside me. Eisuke makes me feel safe and loved, Leon makes me feel cornered, like prey.

‘Vivian, hand me that document,’ Eisuke asks, holding out his hand while staring at his laptop. The outside breeze cools me down as I pick up the piece of paper.

‘Here you go,’ I say. Eisuke looks up at me and narrows his eyes.

‘What’s wrong?’

‘Nothing. I was just thinking about how beautiful the courtyard is,’ I answer, sitting down opposite him. Eisuke continues to stare at me. I sigh, knowing that I can’t hide anything from him.

‘Okay, Leon came onto me and failed in the morning, that’s it,’ I answer.

Eisuke scowls at my answer but then he leans back into the chair and folds his arms across his broad chest and raises an eyebrow. ‘He failed?’

‘I told him that I love you and only want to be touched by you,’ I respond, but I feel my face heat up in embarrassment.

‘Good, but you still need to be careful around him,’ he orders which I nod in agreement. He leans in again and rests his elbows on the table.

‘Eisuke, can I say something?’

‘What?’

‘He sort of reminds me of you. Now hear me out,’ I begin, holding out my hands to stop him from interrupting. ‘I know that we’ve only been here for a day but from this one interaction I’ve had with him, Leon is as confident and sexy as you are. You are both so sure of yourselves and in your abilities.’

‘But? There’s more,’ Eisuke presses on, leaning over the table.

‘He said that love isn’t important. I guess it reminded me of back when we first met,’ I finish, running my fingers over the grooves in the table.

‘He’s wrong, you taught me that.’ Eisuke takes my hand in his and runs his thumb over my engagement rings. His touch fills me with warmth, so I place my hand over his and smile. Eisuke takes my other hand and pulls me to sit on his lap.

LEON’S POV, THE MANSION COURTYARD, 13:30PM

Instead of snapping my fingers to cause the sound of bells in her head, I decided to go out looking for her in a vain attempt to avoid Karno and Hue. As I open the doors to the garden, I hear faint giggling. Walking further into the yard, I see her sitting on his lap, with his back to me. She gives him fleeting, playful kisses and her sweet voice echoes in the empty space.

Why did I just think ‘sweet’ voice?

I shake my head and saunter into the middle of the garden.

‘You two are quite a shameless pair of goldfish,’ I begin, but I feel myself raising an eyebrow when neither attempt to move from their position.

‘Pfft, then you don’t know me very well,’ he answers.

‘I don’t “get to know” goldfish of any kind.’

‘You wouldn’t because you don’t bother yourself in knowing about us as humans, but you do care about our particular brand of entertainment,’ he argues which makes me huff in response.

‘Your fiancée is my maidservant,’ I point out which causes her to stand up. Vivian folds her hands over each other and smiles at me with a business-like expression, different to the lovable-wife I watched a few moments ago.

‘Did you need anything? I didn’t hear any bells ringing,’ she asks.

‘That’s because I didn’t.’ I turn around and leave them to their ‘love’. As soon as I walk back into the foyer, Karno comes out of the dining room.

‘There you are, I’ve been looking for you everywhere,’ he says. ‘You need to read and sign these otherwise we can’t file our year’s work in the department.’

I feel my face crinkle at the thought of paperwork and turn around to the main doors.

‘Leo, you can’t run away from me, not unless you want to make me cry, which would be terribly wrong of you,’ Karno continues, putting a firm hold on my right shoulder. ‘Come on. Humans have this saying you know, it’s called-‘

‘Work first, play later,’ I finish for him. We head up the staircase into the hallway.

‘Exactly! Look, I know lions sleep for 20 hours a day, but you can’t blow off your work when they need your particular signature,’ Karno says, handing me a folder.

‘Okay, I get, I understand your point. Can you stop talking now?’ I tell him, turning the corner.

‘I saw you outside talking to the humans, Eisuke and Vivian. What were you telling them?’ he asks.

‘Nothing, I caught them kissing and decided to embarrass them,’ I answer.

‘And?’

‘They weren’t.’

‘Many humans of their stature aren’t embarrassed to be physically intimate in public. You know the gods aren’t any different in that regard,’ Karno says.

‘I know. I wanted to see what her reaction was. She seemed like the nervous, wouldn’t-want-to-be-exposed-in-public type but she hardly reacted when I called them shameless,’ I say.

‘Wow. I guess she must be used to it,’ Karno says. He pats me on the back and continues walking down the hall. I stand outside my bedroom doors, thinking about her face when she was laughing and smiling, happy. It made me feel, something.

THE DAY AFTER THAT

LEON’S POV, HIS BEDROOM, 4PM

When my power to give pleasure came about when I was young, my mother hid me away from the heavens to prevent any ‘accidents’ but they always brought me out to parties and social gatherings to show off how powerful they’re only son was becoming. She didn’t even raise me, the servants of our household did. They couldn’t love me because-

‘Leon? I brought you some tea,’ Vivian’s voice pushes through my closed doors. The images of my childhood fade as I sit up on my bed.

‘Um, Leon?’ her voice pushes through again, hesitating. I rub away my past off my face and snap my fingers. The doors creek open, revealing her standing with a tray. The evening sun’s rays holds her figure in a basking glow of gold. She smiles at me and walks in. The shadows on the floor creep up towards her, threatening to plunge her into darkness. For some reason, I nearly jump out of bed.

‘Are you okay? What happened?’ she asks, slightly disturbed at my behaviour. Like I am.

‘I’m fine.’ I sit down at the small table. ‘Join me,’ I order, and she looks at me briefly. Her eyes seem to search mine for a clue of my motives. Hers are a normal shade of brown. No stars, no flecks in the pupil, Vivian has regular human eyes but somehow, I see something other than love and pity and excitement as she looks at me.

She finally shrugs her shoulders and sits down opposite me, pouring herself and I, a cup of tea.

‘Are you always comfortable being intimate with him?’ I ask suddenly, after taking a sip.

‘We’ve been together for years. I wasn’t at first, but that’s only because I had never been with a man like Eisuke before. I got used to it and now I enjoy it,’ she answers.

‘Only with him?’ I ask again. She smirks at me before drinking a sip of tea.

‘Yes, only with Eisuke. I guess you’re the type to take what you want and leave straight after?’ she asks in return. Vivian places the tea down and leans back into the chair, crossing her legs in the process.

‘Goddesses throw themselves at me because of my powers,’ I say in response.

‘The ability to give pleasure, right?’

‘Yes.’

‘Is that why you asked about me in the morning? About giving me pleasure?’ she asks.

‘I was curious. Human’s act based on needs.’

‘My needs are being met, there’s no doubt about that,’ she says, laughing.

‘Oh?’

‘Believe me. You know, Eisuke was like you when I first met him,’ she says, changing the subject. Her finger slowly traces the curve of the lip of the cup.

‘A god?’

‘Ha, very funny. No, a man who had everything he could ever want in his life, but no one to love him. He didn’t think love was necessary either,’ she continues. Her eyes glaze over in reminiscence.

‘Until he met you?’

‘I suppose so. By the way, is it okay if I use the kitchen here to cook for dinner?’

‘You really like to jump, don’t you? Fine, I assume it’s because the others like to eat ‘cooked’ meals rather than magically appearing ones,’ I say.

‘That is true actually. Thanks! Anything in particular you want?’ she asks.

‘I’m a god,’ I reply.

‘Yeah, yeah. That doesn’t mean you don’t eat, ever,’ she says, waving her hands in dismissal.

‘Meatballs,’ I mumble.

‘You like meatballs? Beef scrunched up into a ball and cooked in sauce?’

‘Don’t mock me. I said what I said. Now go away, I have work to do,’ I say.

‘Work being, laying in your bed?’ she asks, her lips slowly curve up into a familiar smile.

‘Ha, ha, very funny.’

LEON’S POV, HALLWAYS OF THE MANSION, 7PM

The smell of cooking fills the entire mansion. As I walk down the hallway to the main room, I turn the corner to see the others standing outside the dining room. Hue notices me and waves me over.

‘What’s going on?’

‘It smells so good. Do you think they’ll share the food?’ Ichyths asks.

‘We could ask,’ Dui suggests.

‘Do they look like the kind of humans who share?’ the scorpion walks up to us.

‘They seemed pretty nice,’ Teo says.

‘You’re probably better off asking the woman who’s cooking the meals,’ Hue says.

‘That’s right,’ her voice echoes out of the room. When I open the doors, Vivian is laying the table with plates. She looks at us as she places a fork down.

‘I think I made enough for everyone,’ she says.

‘Ah, I was wondering why we had to wait so long. You made some for the gods as well?’ Eisuke’s voice suddenly sounds from behind us.

The rest of the humans arrive and begin sitting down as if they have lived here for years. Before her fiancé can sit down at the head of the table, I take his spot. I look up to see him scowling at me.

‘You live in our building, you live here by our rules.’

His eyebrows furrow but he doesn’t respond. Instead, Eisuke walks to the other end of the table and sits directly opposite me.

‘Vivian,’ he says, and she picks up a spoon.

‘Vivian,’ I say, and she turns around. ‘Before you are his fiancé, you’re my maidservant.’ I gesture to the plate of meatballs by me with my chin. I lean back casually as I watch the wrinkles in his face deepen. In my peripheral view, everyone’s eyes switch back and forth between Eisuke and I, but I don’t look away from his gaze. After a few moments of silence, she places the spoon down slowly and speaks up.

‘Everyone can sit down and serve themselves with whatever they like.’

As soon as she walks past me, I open my mouth. ‘Choosing the middle ground doesn’t make you a saint.’

‘Being a god doesn’t make you all powerful,’ she fires back. ‘I control my own actions, regardless of my “employment” anywhere.’ Vivian heads into the kitchen.

‘Is it just me, or did it get really hot in here all of a sudden?’

‘Shut up!’

THE NIGHT BEFORE

LEON’S POV, HIS SECRET GARDEN, 8PM

Since the dinner, I’ve been doing all I can to annoy Vivian and Eisuke. But it seems all I’ve done is bring them together even more. He seems to trust her to protect herself from me.

As I walk downstairs, she comes out from a doorway at the bottom of the foyer. We make eye contact, and she looks at me curiously. I simply pass her and open the door revealing a black darkness.

‘Um, Leon?’ she asks, hesitating.

‘Follow me if you’re up for it,’ I say, and walk through. The scene changes to a field on Earth. Similar to the one in the Heavens, its calming nature lets me breath. A rustling of petals and grass tell me she did follow.

‘Curiosity kills the cat, you know?’ I speak. Gentle footsteps creep up towards me.

‘Good thing I’m not a cat then,’ she replies, standing beside me.

‘No, you’re a goldfish,’ I answer back and turn my head to face her. I see her smile and look down. Vivian slowly lowers herself to sit down on the ground and she tugs on the hem of my jacket.

‘Gods don’t-‘

‘Oh, shut up and sit down,’ she says in a playful manner.

‘Fine.’ We sit there, watching the moon and the lake for what felt like a lifetime.

AN HOUR LATER

Leon doesn’t like to kiss, which is stupid because kissing is great!

Teo’s words echo in my mind over and over. We have been sitting for a while and talking and arguing about gods, humans, and just life in general. Right now, she’s trying to humiliate me by suggesting I believe in love.

‘If you don’t want a woman to kiss you, then it doesn’t mean you believe love is unimportant, it means that you do feel that love is important and you’re afraid to take a chance to be loved and give love.’

‘That’s ridiculous,’ I reply.

‘Sure, you can deny it all you want, but it’s true. You’ve been deprived of physical and emotional love. And now, you have begun craving it, in me.’ She sighs and stands up, smoothing down the crinkles in her dress. ‘I can’t give you what you want, whether you’re a god or not.’

‘I don’t want anything from you,’ I begin, and stand up.

‘Oh, shut up! You and I both know I’m right!’ she shouts. ‘I love Eisuke, with all my heart and I’m sure there’s someone out there for you. You never know, maybe you’ve met her already or maybe she’s just not born yet. You are a god, after all. You’ve got an eternity to find her, but she’s not me, and never will be.’

The next thing I know, I’m holding her in my arms. Trying to will her into staying. She feels small in my arms. No, she feels perfect in my arms. Her body shakes with nerves, so I rub her back to calm her down. Vivian sighs from frustration and I feel her arms reluctantly wrap around my torso. Her warmth fills me as the breeze rustles the flowers on the ground.

‘Leon,’ she begins to say.

‘I know.’ I abruptly pull away and quickly snap my fingers. The scenery changes to the empty courtyard of the mansion. ‘Thank you,’ I say. Turning, I leave her ‘love’ behind.

THE NEXT MORNING

LEON’S POV, OUTSIDE THE MANSION ENTRANCE, 9AM

‘Okay Boss, I’ve put all the suitcases into the back,’ Baba says.

‘Kishi! Why are you stretching your entire body out? We can’t sit inside now!’

‘You stupid slacker, move over!’

‘Hey! Don’t push!’

The four humans argue and push inside the vehicle while Eisuke pinches the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

‘They somehow get dumber as time moves on,’ I say, moving to stand next to him.

‘They were always dumb,’ he replies, chuckling. ‘Hey! Stop squealing and get in!’ he shouts to them. Vivian finishes hugging the little godchildren and stands up. Vega suddenly runs over to us and hugs Eisuke, wrapping her little arms around his waist. I raise my eyebrow while his hands hover in hesitation before beginning to pat her head awkwardly.

‘I’ll miss you, Mr Eisuke!’ she says, leaning her chin up to look at him. He looks away shyly before patting her head again.

‘You know where to find me if you continue to miss me,’ he answers.

‘She’ll be too busy for that,’ I say.

‘Lord Leon! You’re so mean!’ she cries out at me before turning back to him. ‘Thank you for playing with me, Mr Eisuke!’ Vega squeezes him tight before running off inside the mansion with a furiously blushing face.

‘I think she has a new crush. That’s too bad for you, Leon,’ Hue says with a smirk and turns to follow her inside with Altair and the others.

I roll my eyes and face Eisuke. His thin lips slowly curl up into a smirk.

‘She belongs to me,’ he says.

‘Pfft, she certainly knows what she wants,’ I respond, glancing at the beautiful figure leaning against the vehicle with crossed arms and interest. She begins to smile at me.

‘I’ll be watching,’ I say.

‘Well, I hope you enjoy what you see,’ he chuckles.

‘Make her happy. Even more than you already do. And yes, this is a direct order from a god,’ I demand with a smirk on my face.

He looks at me for a moment, then he holds out his hand. My hand takes his in a firm grasp and shake it.

‘I will.’ For the first time since I met him, Eisuke genuinely smiles at me. He heads for the limo and Vivian quickly takes his place in front of me. She bites the corner of her lip and looks down at my feet before looking up again.

‘I didn’t mean to make you think-‘ she begins.

‘You didn’t,’ I interrupt. Vivian gives me a lopsided smile.

‘Well, to be honest, I had fun as your maidservant,’ she says.

‘Even though most of the time you gave me attitude? Don’t forget, you’re still a goldfish,’ I reply.

‘It wasn’t … all the time, I made you meatballs!’ she points out but we both smile knowing how ridiculous the argument is.

‘I think I’ll stick to making my own by snapping my fingers,’ I answer.

‘Didn’t like ‘em?’

‘They were of adequate quality, for a human, to a god’s tastes,’ I answer.

‘Funny. Leon, I wanted to ask a favour,’ she says. When I say nothing, she sighs, preparing herself for it.

‘You grant wishes for everyone. Who grants your wishes?’ she asks.

‘I do, for myself.’ I answer, but I know that’s not the question or answer she needs.

‘Then, I wish for you, that you find a happiness you genuinely enjoy in your life,’ she says, looking me in the eyes. I hear a faint intake of breath from myself as soon as she says those words. Hope fills her plain brown eyes.

‘That’s-‘

‘A ridiculous wish? Maybe. But I hope you fulfil it, for your own sake.’ Vivian smiles and winks at me before turning around. I watch her go and fall into the arms of the man she loves most in this world.

The Warlock and the Witch

In a world of spells and mischief, there lies a Boss Monster who works hard as a professor and the tales of Boss Monsters possessing incredible fire magic. He worked hard, trained hard, using most of his childhood to master his magic for good yet this made his social skills come out pretty rough as he seems full of himself and quite strict. Even then there is much warmth to this Boss Monster who was given the title of “Warlock of Flames” teaching creatures how to use fire magic.

In this hour in the middle of the night, he was looking for ingredients for something that may be useful for his cooking. After all, what use of fire magic if one only knows how to use it to bring destruction and mayhem. As fire can be used to help bring warmth in the cold, bring comfort in the dark, and make food all the tastier. That last bit made him giggle and uses one of his paws to fix his hat.

“Ah, cooked mushrooms sounds good right now. Mushroom soup maybe for today's meal...-”

He felt his ears twitch as he heard something moving in the bushes, sounded a little different than what the average creature that one may normally find in the forest. His eyes narrow as he looks upon the bushes.

“Come out from there. I know someone is there!”

There was not a sound, it was as if whatever it is doesn't believe his words, making him bring up a fireball above his paw.

“If you do not come out, then you may face some burning.”

With that threat out of his mouth the sound of the bushes moving about was heard and there his grey eyes saw a small humanoid figure wearing...

“A witch? No, not just that-”

“What do you want? Is it a crime to roam about the forest at night now?!”

“No, Hmm?!”

There was a loud roar, sounded like it was behind the witch. Most likely they accidentally disturb the creature as they roam about the forest at night or rather, this creature may have thought them as their prey.

“Run to me witch, now!”

“You don't need to tell me that!”

“. . .Get down, right now!”

The witch jumps down out of the way with mushrooms following out of their pockets as the tiger jumps out of the bushes, the Warlock throws the fireball at it. Causing it to be hit by flames directly at its head and it falls in the middle of its jump right behind the witch as it cries in pain, dying as it was consumed up by flames. It was just a snap of a finger where those cries stopped and it's movement ceased. The Warlock slowly walks up to the Witch and bought a paw out to them while the flames themselves died down.

“Are you okay?” He said with a neutral tone and expression.

The witch looks up to him, their red eyes meeting those lifeless grey ones as if telling one that he holds much knowledge but even with knowledge... something was missing that caused those eyes to be what they are. The witch was about to grab his paw but then moves their hand away, picking themselves up as if being stubborn of accepting help. They started to brush the dirt and dust of off them and then pick up their hat.

“I didn't need the help.”

“I was correct, you are also human. It is rare for me to spot a human in this forest.

“What was your first clue?”

“Your skin.”

“I wasn't being serious with that question! Why do you even care?”

“It's interesting, I thought I knew everything that is about this forest and here you are.” He said as he looks upon the mushrooms that got all dirty up from the ground they landed on.

“Were you looking for ingredients?”

“. . .Yes”

“For what?”

“I wanted to figure something out with them.”

“There are plenty that mushrooms could do. Sadly, all I know to do with them is to make food.

“Food?! You can do more with certain mushrooms! You could even make medicine!”

“. . .Medicine, isn't really my... forte.”

He felt their red eyes looking upon him, his white furry face, and those paws they saw of his reminded them of monsters like Toriel or Asriel.

“Do you know Toriel?” The human asked.

“Ah, I... Do... But, we're not directly related. I'm from a late Dreemurr family that has passed away. I'm the only one left of my “Dreemurr” family. I live alone in these forests, a little cottage that is a little hard to spot. Unless you know the signs.”

“That's weird, you're weird.”

“I could say the same about you, human.”

“It's Witchi!”

“Huh?”

“My name! It's Witchi!”

“Witchi?”

“Before you say anything dumb. It's Ichi but mom thought it would be cute if it was like wit-chi instead because she was-”

“Your mother was THAT human witch I presume.”

“You know?”

“. . . Gossip has a way of spreading quickly. I only learn of this news once it was too late and when I was of older age. It's not something that people stop talking about. Now, this leads me to ask. Who do you live with?”

“. . .”

“Do you not have someone living with you, what about your fath-”

“Do not even mention him.”

“ . . .Ah, sorry. . .” He spoke softly as he looks upon their red eyes that were staring at him, eyes that hold flames of anger, perhaps of revenge.

“Regardless of your living condition, do you mind coming with me to my cottage?”

“Why should I come with you?”

“Well, I cannot just eat that roasted animal all by myself and cooked lion meat is pretty good therefore it would be a shame to have it go to waste if I cannot finish it.”

“Hmm. . . Fine.”

As they answered they saw the Warlock pickup the lion using both of his paws. “Stick close.” He said as he started heading to his home.

As the witch followed the Boss Monster they will take notice of them looking at the tree, grass, and other little details while explaining to them why he is doing so. Like the fungi on the tree points to the direction of the cottage, the burn marks around the tree was those he made to help make sure to remind him he was going to the right track and some of the grass was shorter than the ones deeper in the forest telling him home was close by. Soon, it was there the Witch saw the small cottage made out of stone with a single-window and chimney. By the side were a little building, a stump, a stack of wood, and an ax that was used to cut the wood in half.

“We are here, sorry if it wasn't what you expected. I'm a simple creature with a simple life, with simple wants and needs.”

As he walks up to his door he realized it would be rather hard for him to turn the knob of the door to open it.

“Witchi, could you open my door, please. I don't want to drop the animal and it would save us time.”

“Uh, yeah, sure.” They said as they turn the knob and open the door.

“Go ahead, you can enter first.”

“. . .Alright.”

As Witchi enters the house, they could see the single large room. It had a fireplace, a round wooden table at the center, a few tool stools which can be used as chairs, a little section for doing laundry, a little section for storing food, a section for cooking which was close to the fireplace, two smaller rooms one of those being a small bedroom. All and all it was a simple home with the basic needs to live.

The Warlock enters his home and spoke. “Sorry if it isn't much, I'm just that simple of a creature.”

With that said he placed the burned creature near the cooking area. Taking out some sharp tools as he starts taking bits and pieces out of the tiger.

“Could you bring me some of my stone bowls, I can place our share into each of them. I know some ways to make it taste even better.”

The witch looks about the food area just to see a few wooden bowls on a counter, grabbing them and passing them to the Warlock who had a sharp fork and knife, pulling out the good meat bits and places them in the bowls. It wasn't a pretty sight but hey, at least the tiger was already dead and cooked. It would be some time until both of their bowls were filled.

“Go ahead and take a seat. I'll bring you your food.”

Taking their bowls he uses his magical flames to heat up the bowls and what was inside them. Going to one of the counters he takes out some spices and starts mixing it with the meat. It would be only a moment until he walks over to the table and places the bowl of meat in front of Witchi while placing one where he was be sitting. A seat across from the witch.

“Why are you doing all this?”

He heard the Witch ask the question. It really had no reason to. Just some company was enough to warrant it.

“I'm just a lonely warlock, all I do is teach students and go back home. Not many people care about my company. After all, my “Dreemurr” family is all but gone. Who wants to spend time with an old creature like me and what's worse is I won't age anymore until I have children. Well, I look slightly young, I'm a young adult at the very least haha.”

He gives a quiet laugh as if to hide his loneliness as he looks upon the human taking a bit out of the tiger meat. Seems like it was pretty good, had a good spice to it. Seems like this Warlock had some experience in cooking.

“This is really good, I didn't expect meat like a tiger could be this tasty.”

“Ah! I'm glad you like it. With spices and the right ingredients you can make something that tastes alright into something that could make one's mouth water.”

“Soooo, You're all alone?”

“For the most part. Just me, the students I see as the academy and whatever lies in the forest until I return to my little cottage here. I don't get many visitors besides the occasion small animal that comes to ask me for some food.”

He took a bite out of the meat, giving a soft sigh with his peaceful life.

“Why did you tell me about how to get to your place?”

“I thought if you want to visit someone you can come to visit me. I'll be happy to have your company once and awhile Witchi.”

“Me, give you company? You are strange. I am no one special especially for some warlock like yourself.”

The Warlock places his bowl down as he looks upon the witch.

“Not true, I see greatness within you. A fire in your eyes that reflects your soul.”

“. . .”

“You may be silent and unaware of your potential but I see it. Even if your eyes show anger, sadness about what has happened in your life. You are strong, strong to keep moving forward, and keeping the flames of your soul lit up bright.”

As he spoke he saw the human standing up from their seat. “Thank you for the food, I-”

“Wait! Hear me out!” He said as he raised his paw up gesturing to hold on. The human just stares at him, keeping still. Watching as the same paw went to his hat.

“I've been looking for someone to be my pupil. Yet, none of those students I have has no fire in their hearts. No passion at all and just content with doing what they have now. You, You want to do something more! You're the only one I have said this to so...”

He slowly takes off his hat, revealing a hornless white goat with grey eyes that seem rather dull. “Would you be my pupil in my arts of flames?”

Witchi stares at him intensely thinking about his proposal. They looked like someone they knew and yet there were differences that were apparent. “I'm not sure fire magic is something I need to know. I don't want to hurt people even if I want-.”

“No, no, no! Understand that fire isn't just about destruction, it can be a source of light as well. It brings warmth, it can help light a dark path to help you or others and most importantly you need a way to defend yourself. What fire is depends on the user, without fire we as a civilization would be nothing and blinded by the darkness.”

“. . .What's your name?”

“My name?”

“Yes, your name. What is it?”

“. . .My mother named me Asriel. My parents were not very creative with naming. I normally just call myself the Warlock of Flames the title I've earned. I. . . Didn't have many friends, I used up all of my childhood to master my fire magic. . .”

The witch took another moment to think, Asriel... Just like the one they knew. How old was he to share the same name and surname? Yet, his eyes bothered them. . .So dull, was that because of this loneliness. If they become his pupil maybe that would help him. Learn fire while befriending someone who has no friends, no family. Perhaps that was a reason good enough to. Even then, it wasn't something they would admit straight up.

“Asriel, Warlock of flames. I. . . I decided to be your pupil.”

They could see those grey eyes shine just a little as if a flame sparked in them. Then a smile was seen.

“I am happy to hear that, Witchi. My pupil! Tonight, we will have a lovely meal and I will walk you home if you wish. When you visit me, I will be happy to start your lessons.”

"Okay, Teacher."

With that marked the beginning of their friendship, a lonely mentally old man making his first friend and pupil in the ways of the flame. Now, his future doesn't seem all so lonely anymore. Perhaps because the teachings were of fire perhaps it made the witch think. Maybe in some situations, that fire can help bring others closer like sharing a campfire and telling stories. Regardless. . .Learning fire may be useful during their adventures. Who knows, perhaps even a witch can teach a warlock some new tricks.

THE END

___________

The Warlock of flames now has children on his hands.

Again, this story is very good Seth!

It may be a little late, but here is this week’s talentswap! Consider this a Talentswap Thursday (Hey, the alliteration is still there!). Introducing Myth, the Former Ultimate Cosplayer!

——————————————————-

BACKSTORY AND TALENT

Because she was wracked with scoliosis as a kid, Myth only had anime and the manga her parents bought as modes of entertainment. Luckily, with many operations, Myth managed to get on her feet and out into the real world. But because of her past, Myth only has anime characters (particularly shoujo heroines) to model her behavior around. Myth eventually became famous around school for her skill in textile work, and eventually she started getting commissions from her classmates. But perhaps what she is best known for is her uncannily-accurate and self-made cosplay. If there is an anime convention going on somewhere, you can always count on Myth being there with a brand new cosplay. Myth is now currently making a living as a professional cosplayer and model, but she’s currently taking some time off to chaperone this year’s Ultimates and Jr. Ultimates.

——————————————————-

RELATIONSHIPS

Wyre Anon, Former Ultimate Magician

When Myth first entered Hope’s Peak, the first person to catch her eye happened to be a charming magician in a tuxedo, the ideal mysterious and male shoujo lead. Even after figuring out that this seemingly charming guy just happens to be a loud and rough-and-tumble girl, Myth’s admiration and slight crush on Wyre didn’t fade in the slightest, and they are only the best of friends, even in their adult years. Myth loves to be Wyre’s adorable assistant in her magic shows, and Myth usually lets Wyre model her crossplays (in which Wyre looks damn stunning in them). If someone messes with Myth, Wyre hexes them for life.

Outfit: A black top hat with a ragged red rose on the top, black eyeshadow, a black coat over a white dress shirt with a popped collar, black dress pants and matching shoes and cape.

Anon Scar, Ultimate Astronaut

Despite only being a teenager, Scar managed to ace both the physical and academic exams that the prestigious astronomical institute hands out to her, and is on her way to become a full-fledged astronaut. The intelligence and caring/maternal nature of Scar are unconvincingly covered up by the self-created facade of being an evil alien overlord, being sent down by her superiors to conquer the entire galaxy, starting with Earth. Myth loves Scar’s dark aesthetic and lets Scar model her dark and elaborate dresses and suits. Scar secretly keeps the edgy cosplay Myth created, for they make her feel “powerful”.

Outfit: A black scarf with star badges, a black and white jumpsuit, black boots with yellow soles, makeup from original design.

Fusion Anon, Ultimate Detective

Originally working at his grandfather’s detective agency, Fusion was exposed to crime and investigation, ever since he was little. Originally handling simple cases, such as lost pet and infidelity cases, Fusion stumbled upon and eventually solved an elaborate homicide that eluded even his grandfather, earning him his status as the Ultimate Detective. With Fusion’s wild hair, enormous appetite, and cheerful, yet protective (and almost paternal) attitude, Myth thinks that Fusion wouldn’t be out of place in a shonen anime. Fusion happens to also be a massive anime nerd, which lead to the cosplayer and detective bonding easily.

Outfit: An oversized grey overcoat, a blue vest over a white dress shirt and a red necktie, blue pants, and black loafers, glasses from original design.

Fusion Anon II, Ultimate Adventurer

Sightings of a mysterious girl with a flowing dress and a sunhat cropping up all over the world made international headlines, with many people making theories on the true identity of this mysterious girl, especially since she responds to all questions directed towards her with either memes or sarcastic remarks. That mysterious girl eventually became known as Fusion II, who was eventually given a place to stay at Hope’s Peak, and was given the title of the Ultimate Adventurer, for the sheer scope of her globetrotting. Much to the dismay of the globetrotter, Myth figured out about Fusion II’s nerdy side, and wouldn’t stop bringing it up.

Outfit: A white sun hat with a red ribbon, a red pashmina scarf, a white parka with light blue fluff on the inside, a flowing blue skirt and grey hiking boots, sunglasses from original design.

Just Anon, Ultimate Entomologist

Being regarded as a prodigy when it comes to studies of animals and nature, Janon specializes in and is a pioneer in the study of insects, having discovered several new and previously-undiscovered species of insects, thanks to his fool-proof method of insect capturing: sleeping in the middle of the forest and letting the bugs crawl all over him. Myth is rather afraid of insects and she regularly turns to the lazy, cynical and foul-mouthed insect expert if she encounters a creepy-crawly, much to the annoyance of the helmeted scientist, who just wants to go to sleep with his insect friends surrounding him.

Outfit: A helmet that resembles a rhinoceros beetle, a camo-colored hoodie and matching pants, dirt-stained boots, face mask from original design.

Sparkle Anon, Former Ultimate Anthropologist

As a devout lover of foreign cultures, Sparkle wrote books detailing both her experiences traveling and the philosophies and mysteries of the charming foreign places that she visits. Sparkle also happens to be a devout lover of anime, particularly magical girl anime, and Myth’s cosplay of the leading lady of Sparkle‘s personal favorite magical girl anime. When Sparkle heard that the famous cosplayer would be chaperoning the Kibo-Con trip alongside her, Sparkle fangirled, to put it lightly. Myth and Sparkle love to roleplay as the two leads of Sparkle’s favorite magical girl anime and pretend their fighting the monster of the week.

Outfit: A brown overcoat draped over her shoulders Yasuhiro-style, a smaller brown jacket, dark blue gloves, a red-and-cream plaid skirt, black leggings, brown boots, glasses from original design.

Egg Anon, Former Ultimate Inventor, and Wet Sock Anon, Former Ultimate Pianist/Assassin

Despite the seemingly innocuous talents of the twins, Egg and Wet Sock are quite the devious duo, to put it extremely lightly. Wet Sock uses the alluring piano music that they play to shank people while they are in a trance and Egg invents the various weapons that are used in their twin’s assassinations. And that is ignoring the cursed comments that the two both sprout on a daily basis, that basically alienates them from practically all of their peers. While the cursed comments shatter the image of the “androgynous gentlemen” Myth thought they have, Myth simply adores the steampunk/mustache-twirling aesthetic that they both have. Egg’s Outfit: Black and brown goggles, a short-sleeved white shirt, black suspenders, short brown pants with a black tool belt, black and brown rocket boots.

Wet Sock’s Outfit: A black jacket over a white dress shirt and a red tie with a gold treble clef on the front, black pants, black shoes, glasses from original design.

Curious Anon, Jr. Ultimate Tennis Pro

As a student of one of the most prestigious schools in all of the country, Curious truly has it all: being cool-headed, helpful, rich, athletic, and just so darn adorable. Curious has a massive fanclub at their private school for precisely all of those things. Curious is famous all around the country, for both their affluential family and his unparalleled skill in tennis, despite both their age and their height. In her anime-inspired journey, Myth managed to find both the kind athlete and the oujo trope all in one. Curious is all too eager to help Myth model both her male and female cosplays, and Myth agrees with Curious’s fanclub on their looks.

Outfit: Hair tied back into a small ponytail with a green and yellow striped headband, a white tanktop, a green cardigan tied over their shoulders, green and red shorts, knee-high white socks, green and white tennis shoes.

Anon Nerd, Former Ultimate Child Caregiver

Having been born and raised in an orphanage, Nerd was accustomed to taking care of children, being prepared for just about any scenario that a child could find themselves in. But despite his prowess at taking care of children, Nerd’s personality isn’t exactly child-friendly, for he is foul-mouthed, foul-tempered, and despite caring for children 24-7, claims to hate children. Upon noticing the contrast between Nerd’s temperament and talent, Myth figured out that Nerd was the token tsundere love interest within seconds of meeting him. It helps that even the kids at Nerd‘s orphanage have taken quite the liking to having Myth as a mom.

Outfit: Tan cargo pants with child care supplies in each pocket, black, red, and white sneakers, dress shirt and tie from original design.

Eldritch Anon, Ultimate Aikido Master

Having been both born and raised at an isolated temple, with only his master to keep him company, Eldritch’s master taught Eldritch to never let his guard down against anybody, for they can and will take advantage of his small and weak build. This life-long message, along with Eldritch’s constant aikido training, resulted in a short but strong boy, who beats anything he sees as a threat into a bloody and bruised pulp, and to Eldritch, anything and anyone could be a threat, so he punches everybody just to be safe. Not even the adorable and innocent is safe from Eldritch’s paranoia-fueled pummeling, much to the wrath of Wyre.

Outfit: Hair in a long ponytail with a white Nippon Ichi headband, a black gakuran top over a white tank top, black pants, white socks, brown geta sandals that boost his height.

Dream Anon, Ultimate Artist

Because Dream was extremely creative but hyperactive and impulsive as a kid, Dream’s parents gave her a large canvas that she could draw on, and within 15 minutes, Dream made an indisputable masterpiece, much to the shock and amazement of her mom and dad. Dream eventually signed up for several art programs and became a master in practically all art forms, with sculpting and coloring being her two favorite mediums. Because of their similar talents and attitudes, Dream was basically the shonen answer to Myth’s shoujo persona, being hyper and boyish, in contrast to the bouncy and girly vibes Myth gave off.

Outfit: A black beret on her head, a pink and white striped sweater, blue paint-covered overalls, a tool belt with art supplies, pink slippers.

Iris Anon, Jr. Ultimate Maid

Despite her less-than-stellar past being raised on the streets, she was eventually found, cleaned up, and was adopted into an influential family as their maid. Iris delivers all service with a smile, whether that’d be cooking, cleaning, or simply entertaining guests and business partners of the influential family, making even the most stoic and ice-cold business magnates leave the estate with a giddy and amused smile on their face. Myth loved a girl who can pull off a classic French maid, and definitely tried sticking an eyepatch or a dragon tail and horns on Iris, when she wasn’t looking, but Iris was all too happy to model for her.

Outfit: A standard black and white French maid dress and black stockings with red Mary Janes being the only splash of color.

PURPL-3 (aka. Purple), Ultimate Robot

Having been created by only the greatest masterminds of robotic engineering, Purple was created to be a literate robot who could read and recite books for blind kids. Because of her very purpose, Purple has a massively large vocabulary and uses very old-fashioned and archaic terms in her daily speech. When Myth heard that she’d be chaperoning an actual robot, Myth thought she was having some sort of fever dream, but lo and behold, Purple arrived in all of her robotic and extremely timid glory. Myth internally thought that the world is becoming more and more like science fiction everyday, upon being aware of Purple‘s very existence.

Outfit: A black beret with a satellite antenna on top, pale metallic skin, purple helmet-like hair, and black armor-like plating.

This series centers around Myth, dazzling everyone with her skills as a cosplayer, and perhaps finding love with someone.

——————————————————-

PERSONALITY

Basically, after recovering from her scoliosis, Cosplayer!Myth decided to reinvent her previous shut-in personality, to be more appealing to others (which succeeded by the way). She chose to model her new personality after shoujo heroines. Despite being (seemingly) ditzy and a massive klutz, she compensates for that by being very kind-hearted and being like an emotional rock for her classmates and conmates. She’s very hardworking on her commissions, often sacrificing sleep to work on her costumes (she hides the eyebags with makeup). Just like with regular Myth, Cosplayer!Myth thinks a lot like a romance novel, often trying to woo her prospective love interest with shoujo tropes.

————————————————-——

APPEARANCE

Cosplayer!Myth has her naturally brown hair dyed purple and tied into two massive pigtails with two red bows with stars in the center. She wears contact lenses, and her outfit is a simple seira fuku with a white dress shirt, a light blue ribbon, a darker blue skirt, tall white socks, and black Mary Janes.

————-——————————————

Once again, I’d like to apologize for being late. But, I hope you like the talentswap anyways! Let me know what you think of this swap in your reblogs!

Inari's Bonds to different Straw Hats

In my first post on Inari, @mondfahrt asked some questions on details regarding what it would be like if Inari were bound to specific Straw Hats. I actually didn't put too much thought into much except the elements and abilities given to her by her nakama and the smaller details I wrote down in the last post came to me by writing, so those questions really got my brain going. I love overthinking things and detailing my OCs and stories, so I acted accordingly.

Have all the details I could currently think of regarding Inari's bonds with all the Straw Hats (yes, including Jinbe, though he'll definitely get the shortest paragraph since she hasn't known him for long). The changed appearances are also included. It's mostly just the hair and eye color that changed, but there can be other changes too. The way this happens doesn't go by what looks pretty. It's the same for every master. Because of this, Inari has preferences regarding who she likes being bound to. For example, she might not like the hair color or other appearance changes she ends up with.

Once again, this is a long post

Monkey D. Luffy

One of the questions asked was Luffy's opinion on someone being bound to him. At first, he didn't like it. At all. He hated the thought of having a servant or anything of that kind. This even went so far that he wanted to leave Inari behind on Skypea. The other Straw Hats convinced him not to do this, but he still had a difficult relationship with Inari had first. However, as she started to become a part of the crew and became more individualistic. He never gives her orders, at least not more than he would to other crew members.

Inari being bound to Luffy looks like this:

Her elemental powers are Air (pre-timeskip) and Fire (post-timeskip) and the special ability she gets from Luffy is increased agility, which she nicknamed Rubber Rebound (ゴムのリバウンド/Gomu no Ribaundo).

Some attacks she uses in this bond are Gum-Gum Storm/ゴムゴムの荒れ/Gomu Gomu no Are (a quickfire attack of air projectiles, similar to Luffy's Gum-Gum Gattling) and Gum-Gum Fire/ゴムゴムのファイア/Gomu Gomu no Faia (a fire ball that bounces off the ground and walls like rubber; imagine the fire flower powerup from the Super Mario games).

A weird habit she picks up from Luffy is always jumping on top of things, like pillars, walls and trees to look into the distance. Or just for fun. She also tends to eat a bit more, and her preference changes to sweets and treats with gelatin.

Roronoa Zoro

Zoro never really minded Inari being bound to him. Being an honorable man and a swordsman, he understood the concept of her devil fruit a bit better, especially how her masters were determined. Unlike Luffy, he does give Inari orders, but he sees her more as a student than a servant. When she's bound to him, he usually trains with her, making him the only one who actively encourages her to copy the fighting styles of others, believing it to be a good way to learn. He keeps an eye on her in battles if possible, but also believes in her abilities to protect herself.

When bound to Zoro, Inari looks like this:

The elemental powers she gains from Zoro are Earth (pre-timeskip) and Air (post-timeskip) which she herself deems a very powerful combination because it allows her to essentially control the battlefield, both on the ground and in the air. Zoro's special ability is increased strength, which Inari nicknamed Gorira/剛力 (the kanji mean "herculean strength") after one of Zoro's attacks.

Going after Zoro and his Mutoryu/Ittoryu/Nitoryu/Santoryu naming scheme, Inari names her attacks Mu Tessen Ryu (No Fan Style), Ichi Tessen Ryu (One Fan Style) and Ni Tessen Ryu (Two Fan Style) respectively. An example of this would be Ni Tessen Ryu: Dragon Twister (二鉄扇流: 龍巻き/ Ni Tessen Ryu: Tatsu Maki) which is basically Zoro's Tatsu Maki but with fans instead of swords or Mu Tessen Ryu: Yomi's Gate (無鉄扇流: ヨミの門/Mu Tessen Ryu: Yomi no Mon) which is an attack where Inari makes the earth crack open to swallow her enemies whole. Yomi is the underworld of Japanese mythology.

Inari under Zoro's influence is VERY sleepy. She tends to get lost more easily and is more likely to actually go melee on her enemies and slash them instead of using her powers.

Nami

Nami was very happy to have a servant at first and did actually order her around to get her drinks and things like that, but she stopped the more they got to know each other.

When bound to Nami, Inari looks like this:

Nami's elemental traits that she gives to Inari are Water (pre-timeskip) and Fire (post-timeskip) and her special ability is an inner log pose which Inari nicknamed Seagull Pose (鴎の指針). It allows her to find the next island over without fail, but usually never comes in handy.

Some of Inari's Nami-inspired techniques are Cyclone Blaze Tempo (サイクロンブレイズテンポ), a barrage of bullet-like water droplets, and Steam Tempo (スチームテンポ), a defensive wall of steam to allow for escape or coverage.

Already being an emotional person, Inari is easily angered under Nami's influence. She also tends to be a bit greedy and is attracted by shiny things.

Usopp

Usopp is glad to have Inari. She's more of a fighter than he is and so the servant-master relationship is great for him, giving him more protection. This doesn't mean that she's a tool to him or just a way of protection. He appreciates her as a person too.

Inari under Usopp's influence looks like this:

The abilities Inari gets from Usopp are Air (pre-timeskip) and Earth (post-timeskip), as well as Finger Guns (フィンガーガン). These work just the way you would imagine them to, allowing Inari to shoot projectiles from her fingers. These are either gusts of air or tiny stones.

Inari's fighting style is very different when she's bound to Usopp and mostly relies on her Finger Guns and defensive or evasive techniques. She sticks to Usopp's side mostly, providing cover for him while he's sniping or using her powers to amplify his range or the speed at which he fires. This technique is called Booster Star (増幅器星). A frequent protective measure is Aiolos's Blessing (アイオロスの恵み / Aiorosu no Megumi), which is a sort of bubble of strong wind that protects anyone inside it from projectiles and anything light enough to be blown away. Another common technique is one known as Plan Alpha (プランアルファ / Puran Arufa) in which Inari creates a large cloud of dust to hide behind and help her and her allies escape.

When bound to Usopp, Inari mostly avoids fights and becomes a very convincing liar - something that she possibly has a natural talent for as her twin sister Pudding is an amazing liar and actor. She shows interest in gardening and inventing and is usually seen accompanying Usopp at whatever he does which is something she usually doesn't do with her other masters.

Vinsmoke Sanji

No, Sanji didn't have any perverted thoughts about this master-servant relationship. He would never abuse Inari like that. His first thoughts were a lot more wholesome. Instead, he sees it as his responsibility to protect Inari, even more so than with other women. He takes very good care of her and makes sure that she's okay at all times. Sometimes, he does give orders, but only to make sure Inari stays out of too much danger. For instance, he would order her to leave a battle if he knows she wouldn't win or otherwise orders her to do something important if she would be too stubborn otherwise.

Inari bound to Sanji looks like this:

Could be siblings, honestly. She looks a bit like a younger Sora with three eyes.

Inari gets the abilities of Fire (pre-timeskip) and Air (post-timeskip) from Sanji, as well as increased acrobatics which Inari has dubbed Lindy Hop (リンデイホップ / Rindei Hoppu) after the athletic ballroom dance with its high jumps, twists and flips.

While bound to Sanji, one of Inari's techniques is called Quickstep Escalator (クイックステップエスカレーター / Kuikkusuteppu Esukareta) and it's virtually the same as Sanji's Sky Walk, allowing Inari to scale heights in a short time. Whenever Inari uses her Fire abilities while bound to Sanji, she prefixes techniques with Amour Brûlant (not doing the katakana for this because I have no freaking clue, but the pun here is crème brûlée).

Inari is very likely to fall in love and be vocal about her affections when bound to Sanji. One of the sweetest states she could be in. YOu can often find her in the kitchen, alone or with Sanji, making treats.

Tony Tony Chopper

Chopper didn't have a special opinion on Inari and her servitude and didn't expect he'd ever become her master anyway. One thing that was always clear, however, was that he would never actually get into the master-servant dynamic. He still treats her as his equal, no matter if she's his servant or not and only gives her order for medical reasons.

Okay, get ready, because Inari looks super cute when bound to Chopper:

Look at her! She has the blue nose! That's one of the things that happens when she's bound to non-human species. I could have definitely done a better job at portraying the nose, but it is what it is for now. Thanks to being bound to Chopper, along with gaining control over Earth (pre-timeskip) and Air (post-timeskip), Inari can understand animals, but she can't talk to them. This has allowed her to befriend some foxes that she adores beyond imagination.

I honestly have no clue what techniques Inari could use while bound to Chopper as all of Chopper's techniques are bound to transformations and direct attacks. Possibly, she would stay behind and put up walls of rock to make a sort of safe space for emergency medical treatments.

Chopper-bound Inari loves cotton candy and is childishly sweet and clingy.

Nico Robin

Robin and Inari's master-servant relationship is more of a sibling relationship. Inari loves her siblings and searches for somebody to look up to and see as her older sibling whenever she's not at home. Robin knew and understood this pretty much immediately and gave her exactly what she needed. She's protective of Inari and very caring towards her, acting as a mentor, caretaker, sibling and friend.

When bound to Robin, Inari looks like this:

Okay, now it's time for the big ones! Getting the elements out of the way, Robin gives Inari the powers of Water (pre-timeskip) and Earth (post-timeskip). But now for the special ability. This was one of the questions asked too and the answer is: Yes! Kinda. She can understand them but she can't put it in words. So she knows what the poneglyphs mean. She understands them even in the details. But she couldn't translate them even if she wanted to.

Inari's techniques when bound to Robin are called Hands of Water (水の手 / Mizunote) and Hands of Earth (地球の手 / Chikyunote) respectively. She usually relies on grabbing, sweeping and slapping her enemies, imitating Robin's techniques in the process.

When bound to Robin, Inari is a lot calmer than usual and seems to really enjoy reading.

Franky

Franky wasn't there when Inari joined the crew and so he didn't have the same first reaction opportunity as the others. But he has had subordinates before, in a way, with the Franky Family. Similarly to Robin, he sees Inari as a sort of younger sibling, but in a Franky way if you know what I mean. Much more even-leveled than with Robin. While Robin would be the one to actually teach younger siblings if she had any and act as a second mother, Franky supports their chaotic nature.

When bound to Franky, Inari looks like this:

Franky enables her the powers of Fire (pre-timeskip) and Earth (post-timeskip) and the ability to understand any mechanical device by looking at it, meaning she can disassemble, repair, sabotage and control it to her will. This makes for amazing moments between her and Franky of building and inventing things together, because Inari can immediately tell if something will work without Franky having to test it and potentially damage something, as well as find out ways to fix or improve things.

When bound to Franky, Inari has a habit of making her own "cyborg" body, a sort of armor made of stone that she calls Armored Me (アーマードおれ / Amado Ore) just like Franky. This can just be gauntlets to amplify her punches, a pair of stilts or full-body armor like Toph from A:TLA. She also uses vehicles built by Franky - and can even control General Franky/Franky Shogun due to her special ability.

Inari's behaviour change is not very noticable with Franky, but it does show when someone tells a touching story - she reacts just as emotionally as Franky does. She's also more likely to pose and her counterpart of Franky's cola is strawberry soda.

Brook

No, Brook didn't misuse his powers as master for his quest for panties. Remember, Brook is very polite, even when asking for something like that. He always adds a "please", making it not an order and thereby optional for Inari. Whereas Franky and Robin were like older siblings, Brook is the full-on dad. Dad jokes, of course, included. He treats Inari like his child and calls her Ojou-san (お嬢さん, meaning "Miss", "young lady" or "daughter") as a nickname.

Brook and Inari make for a bit of a scary combination. Ready?

There's actually a story to this too. When Inari was first bound to Brook, her crewmates were scared of her. This reminded her of her traumatic past and she was scared of herself too, so she said she wanted to jump off a cliff and asked that someone else saved her. Everyone was immediately against it and Brook apologized. It took the combined effort of Zoro, Sanji and Robin to calm them both down again. Inari and the crew got used to her appearance after a while, but it still leaves a bitter taste in Inari's mouth.

With the help of Brook. Inari can use the elements of Air (pre-timeskip) and, surprisingly, Fire (post-timeskip- because Brook's music sets people's heart on fire). Brook's special ability is essentially astral projection. With this Inari can project her consciousness out of her body to contact someone or pass through walls and solid objects. The difficult thing is that it requires lots of focus and it leaves her body unresponsive, making her a very easy target. Any distraction while in spirit form will cause her to wake up again. She has dubbed this ability Haunting Melody (出没メロディー/ Shutsubosu Merodi).

Similar to how some of her Sanji-bound techniques are named after fast ballroom dances, her Brook-bound techniques are usually prefixed with Soul Waltz (ソウルワルツ / Souru Warutsu) and feature waltz-like motions mixed with Inari's usual fighting style.

Brook-bound Inari is the definition of dad jokes. She loves making them. While she can't really make skeleton puns because she's not a skeleton, she leans more on candy puns. She also drinks more tea, usually fruit tea. During the time-skip, Inari has picked up the shamisen as an instrument and plays it more frequently while bound to Brook, often together with him (though I'm not 100% sure about this idea yet).

Jinbe

Jinbe sees Inari like a student, even more so than Zoro does. He takes pride in his role as mentor and is very responsible, actively teaching her fishman karate when he notices that she's unconsciously trying to copy it from him and failing.

This is what Inari looks like when bound to Jinbe:

Look, she's got the teeth!

Jinbe grants her the elements of Water (obviously) and Earth. Now, Jinbe's special ability is a big one, because it allows Inari to breathe under water - which is a big one because it actually allows her to swim and dive. Surfing the surface of the water is something she can do with any water element master, but actually going beneath the water is something else. The way this works is with a technique called Blue Dolphin (青いイルカ / Aoi Iruka) that forms a dolphin-shaped bubble of water around Inari that she can use to swim, because her own water actually doesn't weaken her or other devil fruit users.

All of Inari's attacks while bound to Jinbe go by the naming system of Fishman Karate.

When bound to Jinbe, Inari shows a similarly calm, honorable side, though she is still impulsive and emotional as usual because the personality changes caused by her devil fruit can't completely overwrite her own traits. However, she seems generally more calculated.

Now, these things might seem a bit very powerful. But one important thing to remember that the sheer amount of abilities Inari has isn't really that much of an advantage. She has to figure out who gives her what abilities and learn to control them first before she can make anything of it. Depending on when her allegiance changed and how quickly it changes again, this can be a very difficult thing and requires her to be very versatile.

those buttons on the sleeves of jakurais coat. DID THE MAN FINALLY GET HIMSELF A REAL COAT LOL

these genuinely look so amazing and I can't believe they let jyushi have a more vkei style officially. kuko's outfit looks so comfy and cute and toki...... he got his leather jacket back.... but mtc color.... my hwart TT-TT <3

the matching sasaro patterns though. we know hypmic we understand

Jakurai tapped into that doctor bank account and bought himself a proper coat 🥶🥶🥶

And I agree w your takes oml they’re all so cute !! Some notes of my own (ie my opinions on all of them LOL)

I appreciate how both ichi and jiro have jackets similar to their og ones. I miss the blue on ichi’s jacket just for contrast reasons but it works that neither of the bros have each other’s main color on them anymore (aside from the buttons on Jiro and Saburo).

Jiro tying his hair up is so cute I love that his eyes are more visible now.

Putting Saburo in a mustard yellow is such a big brained move by the designers it’s so yummy. I love the little triangles that come from his undershirt he looks so cute and comfy.

Ichi got rid of his two zippered shirt that makes me sad :((

This is my favorite samatoki outfit ever the blue leather jacket is just so good ugh. I want him to drape it over my shoulders when it starts to rain he looks like such a gentlemen. He does look a looot less like Yakuza though 🤧🤧🤧

I think it’s hilarious that Rio just has the same pants LOL

Jyuto’s fit makes him look more polite but it kind of just looks like fancy wear rather than an alternative of something he’d wear daily 🤔

RAMUDA !!! RAMUDAAAA I LOVE HIM JES SO CITE JES SO CUTIRUEE !!! RAMUDUSUAUAAU !!! I love the hat he’s perfect he’s my favorite

I don’t have a good visual of Gentaro’s outfit but it seems pretty similar to what he’s normally in 🤔 I’d love to see a clearer picture of just his sprite though

Dice as well I don’t have a good picture of but I’m glad he’s warmer now 🥹🥹🥹

Jakurai again, glad he’s not going around in his hospital wear anymore. W for not spreading germs W

Hifumi is cute but I like his original outfit much better tbh. I just like the darker colors pfffff

DOPPOS FIT IS A BIG W I LOVE THIS ON HIM !!! He looks more casual and comfortable I love it. He’s getting loose he’s getting silly he’s CRAZY DOPPO IN THE HOUSE !!!

Sasara makes me so happy he’s cute he’s adorable. Also it’s so cute that in the Block Party EP cover he stole Rosho’s glasses 😭😭😭. I think it’s hilarious imagining Sasara, eyes always closed, using glasses just for the fuck of it.

Rosho looks so warm. The sweater looks like it smells so good I want it-

Rei looks silly as always. He looks closely inspired by the regular outfit of Kazuma Kiryu with the grey going on.

Again I would LOVE to see what pants Kuko has on. I love this outfit for Kuko he looks so good. Also his hair looks shorter in the EP cover but I don’t know if I’m going crazy

YOU ARE SO RIGHT JYUSHI LOOKS SO GOOD !!! I love Jyushi in this he’s adorable he looks so happy in his sprite I love it 🥹🥹🥹

And Hitoyas jacket just looks really cute. Plus with the suspenders ?? Adorable. He’s a 35 year old baby.

I love these outfits. They make me feel warm inside imagining all the scenarios that would go on when they go out with all these layers, jackets, etc etc. I love them I love them all so much.

#asks are fun uwu #hypmic #I love these outfits they’re just so good 😭😭😭

Alone Time

This one goes out to the one and only @keichanz, whose birthday was yesterday but I didn’t have time to finish her present. ALL HAIL THE SMUT QUEEN!! XD

Also tagging: @clearwillow @shinidamachu @hnnwnchstr @cstormsinukagblog @inusgirl @lavendertwilight89 @inugirl

And away we go~!

When Inuyasha and Kagome got married more than 14 years ago, they didn't expect their lives to turn out so hectic, and yet, here they were. They started out with just one kid; a beautiful boy with silverish-gray hair, dog ears, and golden yellow eyes, just like his old man. No problem there, right? Just one kid.

But later, as Ichiro turned 6, their only child was an only child no longer, for Kagome gave birth to little Yamako in the middle of summer. The following year on Ichiro's 7th birthday, Inuyasha gifted his eldest son with Riki the Akita Inu puppy, and then later that winter, Sanka came into the world.

3 kids and a dog. Alone time for the parents? A bit limited but still had every now and then.

Then, 3 years later, Izayoi and Usagi were born on a chilly autumn night at Kagome's mother's house because they didn't have time to go to the hospital.

But at that point...their alone time was nearly non-existent, especially when they were hurrying to get their kids out the door in time for school, rushing to get them to brush their teeth and their hair and to get the dog into the backyard in order for him to do his business...and there were often times where they didn't get the dog out fast enough.

"RIKI!!" Inuyasha yelled as he stepped in a puddle of urine.

Afternoons were no better. The kids get home from school, Inuyasha's home from work, and Kagome's been watching the twins and the dog all day. Sounds like a time to relax, right?

Nary...because Ichiro calls his mother, asking her to help him with his math homework.

"...Why do they even make geometry a thing?" asked Kagome as she looked at her eldest son's textbook. "Just...just why?!"

"Don't look at me, I didn't invent it!" Ichiro answered.

Hell, even at night, when everyone was supposed to be asleep, nothing was sacred.

"Dad~!" Yamako called out, just as Inuyasha was in the middle of kissing his wife on the neck. "Can I have some water?"

"Me, too!" Sanka added.

"Oh, for god's sake!!" Inuyasha groaned while Kagome just sighed and lied back against the headboard, wondering what her romantic life had been reduced to. Not that she didn't love her kids, of course, but they had the worst timing.

Even early in the morning, they weren't safe.

"GOOD MORNING!!!" Sanka cheered as she jumped into the bed...landing right on top of her father's tender bits, which elicited a scream that sounded more feminine than masculine.

"Son of a bitch...!" Inuyasha squeaked with a tear of pain in his eye while Kagome could only sigh.

With a life as hectic and busy as theirs, they often wondered if they would ever have even one moment to themselves. It wasn't that they didn't love their kids, it's just...they didn't even remember the last time they had a nice bout of love-making. They knew it must have been some time after they had the twins, but they couldn't even remember that, anymore.

Kagome didn't mind it. She knew the trials and tribulations of motherhood. It was Inuyasha who always seemed to have an issue. He loved his kids, he really did...but there were often times his sex drive was pushed to its limits. Inuyasha was always a temperamental guy, but Kagome knew her husband well enough to know that this was beginning to get to him. The way he would always growl in his throat and tightly clench his fist around a soda can to the point where he'd crumple it like it was paper...that was a sign right there that his patience was wearing very thin.

At night, she'd often hear him moaning in his sleep, muttering her name as he played with himself under the blankets. It barely gave him the satisfaction he craved, however.

So, on Wednesday night, she had made the arrangements.

It was around 8:30 pm when Inuyasha arrived home late from work, exhausted and just wanting to flop down into bed...and probably end up fucking his own hand again. As he took off his hat and headed upstairs, however, he saw Ichiro holding the twins in a double carrier, a Duffel bag on his shoulder, and had Riki on a leash, the Akita panting excitedly as he pulled. As for Yamako and Sanka, they both had their signature backpacks on; The Incredible Hulk for Yamako and Hello Kitty for Sanka, respectively.

"Hey, where are you kids off to?" asked Inuyasha.

"Oh, Mom says we're going to Grandma's to spend the night there," Ichiro answered. "She's supposed to be here, soon."

With that, he headed downstairs with his younger siblings and his dog not far behind.

'...Isn't a school night, though?' thought Inuyasha before he headed into the master bedroom.

"Hey, Kagome!" Inuyasha called. "Why are you sending the kids to your Mom's-" The moment he entered...he instantly froze.

Kagome was sitting on the bed...her eyes hooded and soft as she stared at her husband. She wore a lavender silk negligee, the one that he bought her for their wedding anniversary last year, and had a pair of pink panties with rose-colored laces and a cute little red ribbon on the front. She smiled at him, tracing her finger along the blanket as she looked into his amber orbs.

"...Fuck...!" Inuyasha cursed under his breath as he instantly felt his nether region coming to life.

"Are you just gonna sit there, staring at me?" asked Kagome while licking her lips. "Or are you going to join me...big dog?"

Inuyasha swallowed thickly...and before he knew it, he found himself walking toward his wife while slowly pulling his uniform off, revealing his toned, chiseled pectorals underneath. Kagome smiled as he climbed onto the mattress, prompting her to lean back as he pressed his lips against hers, eliciting a soft moan as she rubbed her hands up against his chest, from which she could feel a deep rumble as he pulled away with a toothy grin.

"Wench..." he rumbled. "You planned this, didn't you?"

"Maybe..." Kagome whispered as he kissed her once more, the mattress' springs creaking as he slowly pinned her against the bed and he began to lick on her neck, causing her to moan as she shut her eyes...and he slowly began to pull her already sopping wet panties down.

He then reached his hand down with two fingers...

XXX

"Hey, Ichi?" Yamako piped up, all of a sudden.

"What, Yama?" Ichiro asked as he looked down at his little brother while holding onto his two baby sisters and his eager dog.

"Don't we usually go to Grandma's house during the weekends?" asked Yamako. "Why are we going tonight? Don't we have school in the morning?"

Ichiro opened his mouth to speak...but not long after, Sanka's floppy ears perked up as she heard this soft creaking sound that, for some reason, seemed to make her oldest brother's face turn pale and his eyes to go wide in horror.

"And what's that creaking noise?" Sanka asked.

"Uhhh..." Ichiro muttered, only to be interrupted by the sound of a car horn honking. "Oh, great! Grandma's here!" He then opened the door and pushed his younger siblings out the window. "Go-go-go-go-go-go-GO!!"

Once they were out, Ichiro took a quick glance over his shoulder before sighing as he closed and locked the door.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there was another little runt in the family," he mused as he got into his grandmother's car.

Oh don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me - Chapter 1 Part 5

“Yer hair again?” She asks, idly kicking one of the men when they try to get up.

“Not quite. They got mad I beat up their men who made fun of my hair and decided that I needed to be taught a lesson.”

She snorts unattractively. “Do ya even like yer hair colour?”

Once again, Ichigo pauses in though. “...Why do you ask that?”

“Cause, no offence, but yer hair keeps gettin' ya inta trouble, and ya don’t even seem ta’ appreciate it. If it’s too much then just dye it sumthin' borin'.”

...It’s not that he hadn’t thought about it, it’s just that it was one of the few connections he had still with his mother. Dyeing it seemed like a betrayal, and felt like giving up and admitting defeat after fighting others about it for so long.

“Ah, that does sound like a good reason not ta' dye it,” She says when he unintentionally thinks aloud. “But yer missin' ma' point: Are ya happy wit' yer hair? The colour will still appear when ya grow it out, it’ll just be temporarily hidden.”

He lightly fingers a strand. It was getting longer.

“I'll think about it.”

She nods. Neither pleased nor displeased.

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

“Come over this weekend.”

They are eating lunch in her classroom, in a way celebrating becoming friends after knowing each other for a month. Her classmates occasionally throw them looks that they ignore.

“Sure. What are we goin' ta' do?”

He thinks of the box of black hair dye that he got on his last shopping trip with Yuzu two days ago. Yuzu had looked at him questionably but hadn’t said a thing to their family. “I need help with my hair.”

Cherī raises a brow, not getting the hint.

“I’m...” He swallows, eyes flickering to the other people in the room. “I’m thinking of trying something new. That thing you talked about a few days ago.”

It takes a moment longer for her eyes to light up in recognition and understanding. “Sure, where will we meet up?”

The corner of his lip twitches up.

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

“Yer mom famous or sumthin'?”

He looks to where she is examining his mother’s poster. “No, my dad got it after she died.”

She appears to be contemplating something before looking away. “So, where’s yer bathroom? Ah’m not gonna lie, da dye will stain yer bathtub/tiles like a bitch when ya wash it out. Best ya put on some old clothes too.”

Ichigo nods and leads the way, feeling nervous and calm at the same time.

Cherī orders him to sit on the edge of the bath, or bring a chair but then there’s a chance that it would be stained so he doesn’t. She starts by brushing his hair and parting it before beginning. “Ya sure ‘bout this, Ichigo?”

“Yeah.” His tone is breathless, heart thumping hard in his ribcage and something is lodged in his throat.

“Okay.” Her voice is soft and quiet, though not in comfort. It just is.

His eyes close, a foreign calmness taking over him as she works on his hair. It isn’t as short as it used to be, but it isn’t as long as he would have guessed it would be after not seeing a hairdresser for nearly a year.

“An’ now we leave it fer 25mins.” Her voice arouses him from the half-asleep state he had been in. He turns to look at himself in the mirror, but she blocks his view. “Let’s leave that fer later, okay?” Her voice is soft again.

He swallows thickly and nods. “Okay.”

They go to his room. They don’t talk, not really, but the silence doesn’t feel suffocating. She looks around the small space, and the though of how empty his room looks strikes him. There is only the essentials of a bed, a desk with a corkboard over it, and a chair. It doesn’t have any personality.

But, why does he care what his room looks like to an outsider?

“Ya got any favourite books?” Cherī asks, done looking around the bare room.

“Shakespeare.” He answers automatically.

“He’s good. Don’t know much ‘bout his works, only Romeo an' Juliet an’ that’s just a general idea. Ah like Dracula, an' Dr.Jekyl an' Mr.Hyde. Ya know, books wit' what could be considered a homoerotic undertone nowadays.” She looks at the notes stuck on the board. Most of them are related to school or past commitments so he doesn’t see a problem with her looking.

“Ya got any relatives? Ah got at least two first cousins an' a bunch of other great aunts an' uncles that ma' parents want me ta know ‘bout even though Ah only meet ‘em once every five years. Kinda pisses me off when they get annoyed that Ah don’t know any of their names, but that’s what happens when ya barely see someone.”

He blinks. This was the first time since the first day that she is mentioning family. “Not on my mom’s side, I think. But on my dad's...”

Did he have relatives in Soul Society? There were quite a few similarities between him and Kūkaku, and Ukitake-taichō had mentioned that he looks like his former lieutenant Shiba Kaien.

“’s okay ta' not know.” Cherī says. “Family’s confusin' sumtimes, an' it doesn’t help when they keep secrets, or don't bother mentionin' important stuff.”

She was right. His father had kept the fact that he was a shinigami from him, what’s one more secret?

“Time ta' wash yer hair. Ya need help wit' that?”

“No.”

She doesn’t smile, nor does she frown. “Okay.”

-------------‐-----------------

He doesn’t like how he looks.

No...

He hates how he looks. He looks way too similar to Kūkaku, with his sharp chin and eyes.

He looks way too similar to them.

What was one more secret?

-The past is never dead. It’s just buried underneath soil and concrete-

“Ichigo,” Cherī calls, brown brows furrowed in concern. “Are ya okay?”

No. “Yeah.” He croaks. He clears his throat and tries again. “Yeah, just getting used to the new look.” He tries to smile but it must have come out as a grimace with the way she frowns.

“Okay. Ya got a dark hat or sumthin'?”

“Why?”

“’Cuz we're goin' ta' da store an' we're gonna buy ya a new dye.”

“This one is fine.”

“No, it ain't.” Her voice is a touch harder. “It’s makin' ya sad an' that’s da opposite of what we were aimin’ fer.”

“Cherī-“ He tries but is cut off.

“There's nothin’ wrong wit’ not likin' how ya look. Nothin' wrong wit' not likin’ black.” She says, and for a single moment, it feels as though she is talking about something else, like she knows what his inner tumour is about. “Let’s go get ya a new colour, Ichi.”

He nods, and chokes out an “Okay.”

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

They're at one of the shops on the main street.

The first thing that greets them when they enter is hair dyes on one side of the aisle and deodorants on the other. Ichigo browses through the ‘natural’ colours first before going to the more ‘fun' – as Cherī calls them – ones.

All the colours of the rainbow were here: red, green, blue, purple, yellow and orange, along with a couple of other colours, each having different shades from lighter to darker.

“When Ah first started dyeing ma' hair,” Cherī says, picking up a box and examining it. “Ah did it in ma' favourite colour – purple. Months later, Ah found out that if Ah planned on continuin' ta' dye ma’ hair fun colours, da colours would need ta' be ones that can easily be turned inta the next. Fer example: Ya dye yer hair blue, few months pass and ya want a new colour, yer either gonna havta bleach it or yer gettin' it done in green. Understand?” She places two bleaching kits in the basket.

Ichigo nods, examining the colours. His eyes stray towards the blue dyes, specifically the one that reminds him of Grimmjow.

He swallows.

Several months have passed since he had last seen the Espada; how would he react if he were to see him now – powerless and alone?

Well, he glances at Cherī as she compares two different shades of pink, not quite alone.

“Do ya like blue?” She asks, both boxes securely placed in the basket.

“Yeah,” He wets his lips. “I do.” It feels like he is confessing a sin by saying those words and thinking about his enemy. Were they even enemies now?

“Then get it.” She doesn’t reach for the box, preferring to wait for him to do it.

“It will clash with my complexion.” He argues weakly. Raising two girls since he was nine forced him to dive into fashion and learn the rules: body types, complexions, colour schemes and such. There were many other things he had to learn and do while his father was in mourning to survive but now was not the time to think about the past.

“So? This ain’t a fashion statement, Ichi. It's about makin' ya feel good and happy. But... if ya want a more autumn colour we can get red.” She reaches for the box and he grabs her wrist.

“No, not red.” Red reminds him of Renji, who reminds him of Rukia. Neither has bothered to visit him the months following Aizen's defeat. The excuse of him being unable to see them wouldn’t fly, not when he knew Urahara keeps gigais in his shop.

-There are bodies in the soil-

“Okay.” She says, slowly pulling her hand away. “Not red then. Bad memories?”

He winces, releasing her wrist to rub at his neck. “It’s... complicated.”

The girl huffs, “What does it remind ya of?”

He meant to say, “Nothing”. He wanted to say, “Renji”.Hell, he could have said nothing and she would have accepted his silence as an answer. Which is why he is so surprised when the word leaves his mouth without his permission.

“Blood.”

And it is true. The shade she was reaching for also reminds him of blood. It makes him remember the wound he had been inflicted in Hueco Mundo, where he quite literally died and was dead for a while, long enough for his inner Hollow to take control and battle the cuatro Espada Ulquiorra and win, before he managed to wrestle back control of his body. It also reminds him of the markings on his hollow mask.

Cherī looks surprised - not mortified, just... surprised. “Okay,” She repeats. “Not red.”

She’s examining the colours, searching for one that would fit his complexion, when he reaches forward and plucks the blue, Baby Blue, one and puts it in the basket. She doesn’t question him, doesn’t even indicate to have seen him do it but he knows she saw him and he appreciates her silence.

“What ‘bout green?”

His first though is Ulquiorra with his acid green eyes, marble skin, and black black bat wings that carry him over the sands of Hueco Mundo.

His second is Nelliel.

“I like it.” He picks a turquoise shade called Mermaid.

“Pink?”

He likes pink, he's worn it often enough when he was younger and his sisters wanted to dress him up, but...

“No, not today.”

“Bad memories?”

He thinks of Yachiru, the girl with what he would describe bubblegum pink – even if that shade is called Cupcake here – hair and the man whose shoulder she would ride on.

“Not really.”

She nods, then juts her chin violently towards a reddish-pink colour named Love Letter. “What ‘bout that?”

The colour is nice so he gets it.

They continue on like that for a while, choosing and comparing colours - some of which repeat since Cherī also likes them - until the basket is overflowing. As a final colour Cherī chooses Snow – a pure white colour that reminded him of his inner Hollow's hair.

There's so much hair dye that he wonders whether he would ever be able to use each at least once.

The cashier is baffled by the amount but remains silent while she rings them up. It's as the numbers climb higher and higher that he begins to worry, given that he hadn’t brought that much money. But before he can open his mouth Cherī is already handing her credit card with a, “Could you also add one strawberry and one cherry flavoured chapstick? Thank you.”

He turns to look at her in bafflement. This was the first time he hears her speak ‘properly’ and it honestly unnerves him.

“Not ev'ryone can understan’ me, Ichi.” She says, handing him one of the bags.

They make their way to his house, talking about which colour they should do first. Cherī wants to see him in Love Letter or Milan – a light yellow colour that reminds him of an éclair's filling – but he says that he wants to try Baby Blue. She nods and gives him the strawberry chapstick.

“Yer lips are chapped.” She says and he accepts it.
