#and his strengths are sooo good and his weird bad things i usually understand which just makes me want to lay in a puddle i g

[mutalieju]

Thinking about the boys (the comic) and idk how much of the stuff i do enjoy about it and interpret in forgiving ways (like interpreting butcher's final speech as his worldview that's not necessarily supported by the work itself) is because i have read a lot of garth ennis and i am aware of the themes and dynamics he likes to explore and i do think people don't actually bother to think about his work just because there's a bunch of dick jokes and characters shitting their pants or whatever

and then i eventually fucking feel like that rick and morty copy pasta like you need to have a very high iq to understand the nuances of this racist rape joke actually-

“Humans are [Add text here]”

Chapter 4: I guess it qualifies as an introduction?

Phil wasn’t expecting to wake up at 4 in the morning to the sound of laughter.

It wouldn’t be the first time, definitely not the last.

Curiously the avian poked his head into his kids’ room. The laughter wasn’t coming from the gardener, guard, or scientist. The laughter was coming from the assistant who wasn’t in their room. Phil turned his attention down the hall. Sure enough the laughter was louder. Quietly he made his way to the holding cell. Phil sat in a smaller hallway and decided to listen into the conversation… What can he say? He always eavesdropped..

“What even is a you-tube?” The assistant asked through small giggles. To that the human gasped as if he was hurt by the statement.

“You don’t have YouTube?! Or like an alien version of it?!” The human replied, not even trying to hide his shock.

“Erm no?”

“Well it’s like this thing that humans use to make really cool videos and stuff.”

“What’s a video?” Ranboo interrupted.

“They’re kinda like moving photos that usually work as a sort of entertainment or info dump. I could probably tell you thousands of the times my stupid teacher made me watch ‘educational’ videos..”

“So they’re kinda like illusions?”

“Yea but you don’t see 'em in 3D. As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted..” The enderian let out a small squeak of embarrassment at that, “YouTube is like a thing people use to post videos on. I am totally making an alien version of YouTube when I get out.” The air stiffened at that.

“Tommy.. you probably won’t get out for a while…” Ranboo said, Phil heard one of them shift and the entire atmosphere lost it’s warmth, “It’s not like you won’t get out! It’s just hard… especially when no one really trusts you yet.” Ranboo swallowed, as he usually does when he is uncomfortable, “Even when we let you out of the holding cell.. you probably won’t be allowed off the ship. It’s too dangerous for all of us..” the two fell into a deafening silence. Phil shivered at the tension, making sure to be silent while doing so.

“I assumed as much…” the human started, being the first to break the silence, “I-I… I guess I won’t be going home either… since the ISF absolutely hates us.. plus like you said, only already crazy humans are sent back..” the human sighed sadly.. For the first time Phil felt sympathetic towards a human. With that he decided it was time to start on breakfast.

——————

Three things happened after Tubbo woke up.

One, Ranboo passed out at the table. Phil simply shook his head and picked up the enderian with some unknown strength to the rest of the crew.

Two, a scream was heard from the other side of the ship, causing Wilbur to frantically run to the holding cell.

Three, Techno put his milk in before he poured his tea… I mean who does that?

Ignoring the last strange thing, Tubbo went to check on Ranboo. He was fine, so Phil said. “He only needs rest. Leave them be.” Was what Tubbo got as he peered into the enderian’s room. Shrugging off the weird behavior Tubbo made his way to the garden.

Before he made his way to the garden he noticed the human wasn’t in the holding cell. That meant he was probably in the lab… Which meant Tubbo would have to meet him.. Oh prime no. That’s not gonna happen.

He started sprinting to the garden. It was just passed the lab if only he took another step-

“Tubbo, I need your help.” Wilbur said from behind him. The droneling turned around reluctantly. Holding his breath he made his way into the medical part of the lab.

[gore and distressed characters, skim if you need to]

There, laying on the bed, was a human. He held back a scream which came out as a labored gasp. Sweat was bubbling on his forehead. With that he turned to Wilbur who examined the human from a distance.

“Go get some bandages and the stitching kit.” Wilbur commanded. Without hesitation Tubbo ran to grab the items. Wilbur took both objects and disinfected a bad cut on the human’s arm. He hadn’t even realized there was a cut until Wilbur cleared off the strange red blood. Wilbur then proceeds to stitch the wound and bandage the irritated wound.

That’s when Tubbo noticed the amount of blood the human lost. Most species wouldn’t be able to handle that much blood loss, but here was the beast of the galaxy, completely fine in a matter of minutes after losing quite a bit of blood.

[End]

When Wilbur was satisfied, he picked the human up and carried him back to the holding cell. Tubbo was unable to stop himself from following. Before thinking the droneling sat at the table and watched as Wilbur finished cleaning the human.

“Er.. do you want me to grab Techno so you can stay in here?” Wilbur asked, noticing Tubbo sitting in the corner.

Without saying a word Tubbo gave a small nod. Wil didn’t push like he usually did and left to get Techno.

Tubbo got up and approached the sleeping human. He was skinnier than what Tubbo thought humans should be. There were odd dark circles under his eyes and his hair clearly hadn’t had a good wash for what looked like months. He had injuries over his body and was practically shaking in his sleep.

Since Tubbo was preoccupied, he barely noticed Techno enter, or the door closing. Let alone the clangs and thuds from other crew mates.

He was preoccupied by the strange human who was sleeping in front of him.

The human stirred and the droneling stumbled away.

After a few seconds the human sat up and looked at the now fallen droneling.

“What the fuck?”

——————

Tommy didn’t expect another alien to push their luck in his space. But here he was.

The alien was smaller than Tommy by a lot. Further proving Tommy was the biggest man. Unlike the other aliens this one wasn’t threatening upon first glance.

The one from last night had been way more intimidating at first. Being way taller than Tommy and having weird lanky limbs and magical purple glowing orbs surrounding them. They had horns and a half and half complexion. One half of the alien being white with grey and purple freckles along with a red eye. The other half being a purplish black with grey and green freckles along with a green eye. They wore a suit with a red tie and dress shoes. He also had two tails of the same colors as his complexion. All of this being forgotten after they stammered through their introduction. It was honestly hilarious.

This alien was very different from the others. They had brown messy hair, encasing black antennas and small black bumps that resembled horns. Their skin was a honey peach color and practically glistened. There were strange hexagon patterns over their face along with three black stripes on either side of their face. They had bee wings, which was the only thing Tommy could relate to the alien too. There was also a black fuzzy tail, similar to a stinger, poking out of their pants. Their hands were lanky and pointed, completely black. There was also soft yellow fuzz poking out of their sleeves and holes in their pants. They wore ripped jeans along with a long sleeved green button down shirt. Their eyes were another thing entirely, being a honey brown in certain light but could also shift to a greenish blue in other light. They had fly-like pupils.

After a minute of them sitting in an awkward stance the alien got up. Using their wings to properly position them in a standing position. They brushed themselves off and approached Tommy.

“You lay a finger on anyone here and I will kill you. Understand?” The alien said, any intimidation that was lost from the alien falling was regained in an instant. The alien poked him in the chest with one of the lanky fingers, which started burning like acid after a minute.

Since Tommy was too, sacred, poggers to move he simply nodded, which is absolutely the best response to the situation. Sadly the alien didn’t get the gesture and dug their nail into his chest even more. Seriously, it was starting to really burn.

“Y-yes.” Was all Tommy could muster. The alien was satisfied with the answer and let go of Tommy. They walked out of the now open door. Shortly after Techno followed the door closing behind him. Tommy never realized the other alien was in the room.

[Mentions of abuse]

For a split second the interaction reminded him of his dad.

The way his dad did the same thing to his mom when she didn’t listen.

Or when his sister didn’t follow his dad’s friend.

Or when Tommy made a mistake.

Except instead of a nail, it was glass, or a punch, or sometimes a knife��

[End]

He shook off the thoughts and reminded himself that the aliens weren’t his father, nor were they going to do that to him.

They wouldn’t do that right?.. Right?

Tommy slapped his face, only to find there were silent tears flowing down his cheeks. He quickly wiped his cheeks and continued his train of thought.

Tommy trusted too easily. That in the end is how at nine he ended up getting beat up in his first foster home. He condemned himself for trusting the aliens. They were strangers. He knew nothing of them and they knew more about him. This was the moment in which Tommy shut himself off. Where he regained the ability to leave his blind trusting instincts.

The main 10 cheering up a crying Scholar (Y/N) part 3

Here goes the last part finally... Here we have the last 2 boys: Tegan and Tyler! Like I said they had to be cut because tumblr was all like "YoUr PoSt Is ToO LoNg!" Thanks tumblr. As always.

Tegan

- you were feeling like shit lately and you just really needed to confide in someone so before you even noticed where your legs were taking you, you were already standing in front of Tegan's room

- it was really late at night so both of you were in your pyjamas already, though in Tegan's case he was most likely still playing video games

- "Is Tyler here?"

- "Oh uh. No, he's not here... yet."

- Going by Tegan's guilty face Tyler probably snuck out... again.

- Tegan is rambling a lot, he's probably really stressed out because he wasn't expecting you out of all people to come this late

- "A-anyway, when he comes back I'll tell him that you were looking for him so..."

- "Wait, no! I wanted to talk with you, I was just asking to know if we're alone. The both of us. Can I come in?"

- you see a faint smile on his face, is it relief? He's probably happy that you were looking for him instead of someone else

- when you come in you can see that he was in fact, playing a game

- "Oh, sorry. I'm probably a bother."

- "What?? No!"

- He shuts the TV off and makes some space on the couch so you can sit

- "I should be the one apologizing, it's such a mess here. If Karolina saw the state of our room she would kill both me and Tyler."

- his familiar quirkiness is making you feel at ease, but when you remember what you came here for it gets harder to speak

- Tegan attentively looks at you while you're trying to find your words

- turns out that no matter how you try to start, you can't go on. Everytime your throat gets tight and your mind goes blank

- "Y/N...? T-take your time, there's no rush... I'll wait. I can even pull an all-nighter while waiting, no big deal!"

- he's trying really hard to sound reassuring but knowing that he's literally ready to NOT get any sleep tonight just to listen to what you have to say makes the pressure even stronger

- You start crying and cover your face out of embarrassement

- Tegan.exe has stopped working

- "Woah! Uhhh... Y-Y/N?? I'm sorry! Is it me?? Is it because of the other day when I laughed so hard that I spilled cola on your uniform?! Is the stain not coming out? Please don't cry I'll buy you a new one!"

- This boi is a wreck

- It's like he's on an emotional roller-coaster without knowing what the ride is about

- "Noooo... it's not your fault... thank you for being there for meeee..."

- "O-okay! Good to know! But what can I do to help?"

- You keep on sniffling and bawling

- "Ummm... could I get a hug?"

- "Yes! Anything!"

- squeezes you in his arms tightly... maybe too tightly. Where's all of this strength in PE?

- You already knew that he was tall but now you can really tell that he's a tree

- once you stop crying it gets a little awkward

- Well, to be fair it's always a bit awkward with Tegan, but in a good way

- "Um. So. I was playing Mycraft, wanna play?"

- You end up sitting on his lap while he creates a new world in the game just for you

- "Here. Even if you never played Mycraft you probably heard things about it right?"

- "Yeah, they got an update recently right? With the bees and stuff."

- You guys spend a few hours building things turn by turn while taming different animals in game, like dogs, horses, parrots and whatnot

- in the end you explain the situation pretty calmly

- You can see Tegan tighten his grip on the controller whenever you get to the parts of the story that are unpleasant

- he doesn't say it but he's clearly angry about all the things that happened to you

- overall the evening/night is well spent building houses and getting jumpscared by creepers

- next morning you wake up on the couch and see that Tegan is sleeping in his bed while Tyler is trying his hardest to not make any sounds while walking in the room, which is impossible because of the mess

- "Ah Y/N, you're up! Haha so you had a good time with Tegan when I was gone huh? You bad children. Sooo scandalous, I'll go snitch to Lady A."

- You sit up on the couch in a hurry

- "W-what do you mean?"

- Tyler has got the most mischievous grin that you've ever seen

- "Get this: when I came back yesterday at 4am, you were sleeping in Tegan's arms while he was still playing Mycraft. He said that he didn't want to move around because you'll wake up, but honestly? It was probably because he was planning on sleeping with you on the couch if I didn't get ba-"

- A pillow flew towards Tyler's head from behind him

- looks like Tegan woke up

- "S-shut up! I-I wasn't... I mean... Ugghh! It's like when a cat falls asleep on your lap! You wouldn't want to wake it up, right? That's all it was."

- "Can't relate. I think you're spending too much time with your online furry friends."

- "I don't even *have* furry friends."

- "Yeah. Well, maybe because *you're* the furry friend."

- they have a short pillow fight while you're still trying to remember everything that happened yesterday, well, technically it was today but whatever

- You leave their room in a good mood while Tegan is already planning on hacking a few phones...

Tyler

- Noticed it the moment you didn't greet anyone in the morning

- Usually you start the day by saying hi to everyone but that day you went past them as swiftly as you could and made your way to your seat

- Tyler, of course didn't want to bring any attention to you since that's what you were trying to avoid in the first place

- he did his best to sneak out of his group of friends and came to your desk

- "Hey Y/N! Not feeling good today? Want to talk about it?"

- "...Not now, sorry."

- Great! He'll spend the whole day wondering what's wrong

- can't concentrate in class or in anything really, not even his art

- You always come to mind whenever he tries to do anything

- so he's being really adorable with you the whole day, and the following days

- Helps you carry your belongings, even if they're super light

- also carries your food tray at the cafeteria

- "You need more water? Wait! Wait, I'll get it."

- he even pulls out the best weapon against sadness

- wholesome memes.

- he sends them constantly when classes are over

- You end up calling him over because you can see how worried he is, and also because you trust him and need to talk to someone instead of staying alone all the time

- you can see that he read your message but he's not answering. Weird.

- a few seconds later someone is knocking at your door

- "Y/N!!! I'm here! What do you need??"

- You open the door and see that Tyler is out of breath and wearing a panda beauty mask, it's honestly kinda hilarious to see

- "Please don't laugh... I was just doing my skincare routine."

- "No I understand but... haha, you look like you got beat up from both sides. Doesn't really look like a panda."

- you guys sit down and have a casual talk

- Tyler manages to make you laugh a few times with some stories from before you came to Arlington, though it was mostly about him and Tegan screwing around

- then Tyler looks at the time

- "Oh! It's time to take it off! Observe the magic of my "beat up from both sides" mask!"

- His face is literally glowing, he looks like he has baby skin

- that's when you decide that it's time to tell him about your troubles

- When he had the mask on you didn't feel like the conversation could get serious because of how ridiculous it looked

- You start speaking really softly, so softly that Tyler most likely couldn't hear you properly so he got closer

- When your voice starts to break he puts his arm around your shoulders and rests his head on yours

- and when you start crying he takes one of your hands into his

- he's carefully rubbing your hand with his thumb while you continue speaking

- When you're done and you've calmed down he kisses you on your forehead and hugs you

- he didn't say anything while you were telling him about your problems but his way of comforting you was surprisingly really physical

- Tyler already knows that it's a personal matter and he can't help you directly but he's gonna do his best to be there when you need it and distract you from it

- When you guys call it a night and he goes back to his room you realize just how romantic that moment was

- You have second hand embarrassement while remembering how gentle and caring he was while you were literally bawling

- You keep on silently screeching and making weird sounds into your pillow while recalling everything

- You cringe so hard at some of the things you said and the way you cried was honestly worth of an actress in a drama

- 'Oh wow. Maybe Tyler's dad will hire me just to cry on screen in one of his movies...'

- a few days later when you feel a lot better Tyler admits something to you

- "Please, don't take it in a weird way but... I thought that you're really cute when you're crying."

- Um...?

- "Dude. Tyler. Do you even realize what you're saying?"

- "I know! I'm sorry! But I swear I don't mean it in a like- you know, creepy way or anything! I swear!"

- "How can this not be creepy?"

- "Uhh... Nevermind. Forget I said anything..."

- the both of you keep on having a good time while Tyler is secretly plotting a little revenge

[madlymiho]

FINALLY! 😍 sooo dearest Miho, how about this: Crocodaddy/Trash Bird/Kiddo get so annoyed (and maybe turned on? lol) with a female member of a rival crew that they attack her, but she counters the attack and hits back including a ton of sass.. how would they react? 😏😏😏 - ❤ @surgeontrash

Good choice, my dear, good choice for this 😌😋 I feel in particular mood to write this and I hope that it will suit your tastes ~

Warning : light NSFW

Crocodile :

• Crocodile is well-known to have many rivals, so adding a new one to the list doesn't really bother him. He has a business to rule, and people who don't want him to succeed, it's the everlasting balance of life after all

• But what Crocodile didn't see coming is that... you're really attractive. Despite your bad manners, your poor choices of life (come on, can't you be more ambitious and not being under a lame captain command?), and your sassy language... you have something appealing, he can't deny it

• Your encounters are always pretty violent. You seem not to like him a lot, and fair enough, he's easily annoyed by your behaviors and this obvious light in your eyes which tells him you want to pick a fight with him. It becomes almost casual to end up in powerful battles, where he appreciates your wild spirit and the fact that you don't easily bow in front of him

• With time, your interactions become slightly more intimate. Your defiance is a real turn-on, and Crocodile can't deny the fact that he adores the way you always answer to his assaults. Thanks to his power, it's easier for him to approach you, his hand even wandering on your hips for a second, squeezing your flesh while he reminds you how disgusting you are in a long growl, the heat of your body only telling him how much you want him too

• When Crocodile can't control his arousal anymore, you better not come too close. The reptile is far from being rusty, and as soon as he as you under his grip, you are nothing but a trapped butterfly in a spider web, and even if he confesses you his profound hatred in a whisper, his lips are digging in the crook of your neck to nibble your skin, as he enjoys the way you instinctively wrap your legs around his hips

• It's in these moments that he appreciates your sassy tone, when you're pinned under him, the bulge of his pants directly pressed against your core. There are not enough mean words in this world to actually save you ; he feels your desire, and anytime he rubs his manhood against you, he only sees the lust in your eyes

• But he won't ever cross any other line before your full acceptance. Crocodile is patient man, cruel but not sadistic, and soon enough, he knows you'd crawl back to him, desperate to feel that touch you're craving so much, a smirk plastered on his lips, as he lets you go after another intense fight

Doflamingo :

• Doflamingo loves to be loved, but he also adores to have enemies, he can't fool himself about it. The more he causes hatred, despair and reluctance, and the happier he is, because he feels like the master of this world, and his ego is more than pleased

• So having another little bug coming for his ass doesn't really bother him, on the contrary. You have a spirit, something to fight for, and this is enough for him to pick his curiosity and to see how easy it is to crush you

• Yes, Doflamingo doesn't believe in your strength, nor in your capacities, and every time you engage a fight with him, he's only there to mock you, laughing at your face at every punch and kick, easily eluding them, but surprised that you can elude his too

• Yet, you start to annoy the king with your everlasting attempt to combat him, and his irritation toward you slowly turn into something else... more carnal, and passionate. A true wild fire which gives him the will to break your limits, and possess you

• Now and then, you feel his strings pulling you closer to his chest, his heavy breathing burning your lips as his long fingers explore your body, ignoring your insults and your wiggling... only focus on that look of your face, and that call in your eyes. Oh sweet baby girl, you are actually enjoying this, don't you?

• "If you have such a filthy mouth, why don't you use it to suck your king's cock?" Doflamingo purrs, among with other dirty things, even daring to undress you slightly to pressure and tease some sensitive areas as he knows you are breaking under his suffocating touch

• This new game pleases him a lot, his conflicted feelings fighting hard, while he doesn't even bother to hide his boner when he has the possibility to press it against your rear. He loves to see you all flustered and speechless, and honestly, he believes you should feel lucky... you have pick the curiosity of a god, after all

• Yet, we are still speaking about a twisted man, with a twisted mind... if Doflamingo doesn't manage to drag you elsewhere to fuck you against a wall during your battle, after months, you better be careful that he's not growing bored of this silly game between the two of you... His frustration might become poisonous, and killing you would suddenly appear as a better option, if he can't shove his dick deep inside of you to make you beg for more

Kid :

• After he became the rookie with the highest bounty ever, Kid has appealed enemies and he knows it. But fuck them all, if they want to become his rivals, they better be sure he would fight them all to their end, he's certainly not bothered about it!

• So having you in his enemies list doesn't really ring a bell for a long time. You're just under another flag, blindly following orders, and you don't share the same interests, so it feels absolutely common to end up fighting anytime you see each other

• But what Kid doesn't really understand is why he seems so... obsessed with you? When your crew are finally facing, he doesn't want to fight anyone else than you at the moment, and it feels weird, even for him

• You are annoying him so much... The way you move, jump, elude his blasts, spin, and then fight him again. He hates to see more of your skin, more of your muscles, when your shirt rolls up on your belly as you dig on him to fight again... Do you really have to act like a cunt, seriously?

• Speaking of sassy language, the two of you are always in a sort of contest. And when you're not busy giving him punches and kicks, you are coming closer, insulting the other one, until your bodies are almost flushed together, a waterfall of ugly words pouring out of your mouths

• It's in these moments that Kid notices the massive bulge in his pants, and the profound desire he has to plaster you on the grass and makes you shut up for good while he dominates you with his cock. But he never makes a move, and prefers to harshly push you away, disappearing from your sight for a moment, angry as hell ; after all, there's never winner in your fight

• Yes, all those various emotions are boiling inside of him for hours after your meeting, and during those nights after your encounters, Kid usually jerks himself off angrily, his mind only focus on your curves, your sassy tongue, your skin... and even if he doesn't say it, he wishes to touch you at this particular moment, so at least, you could have a real fun time for once

• Kid wakes up the morning after with the powerful need to see you again... so perhaps... you will shut your fucking mouth for good!! He thinks about you with a smile on his lips. What a fucking woman, you are

Ken-Chan’s Fan Event!!!

I basically died and ascended so I’m writing this from beyond this world.

Have a peek under the Read More if you guys are interested in hearing about this fan event!  Unlike the Donut Conferences, I don’t think he’s making a DVD of this one.

OK so ken-chan's event was in this little basement cafe with like... 60 people max. Super close quarters, and I saw him and Hiroki and Justin closer than when we were second row at Takato's event. UGHHHHH HE'S SOOOOOO CUUUUUTE They all were, but obviously Ken-chan in particular.  Especially with his current longer hair, he looks especially boyish.  

At first he just like quietly appeared out of nowhere from the back and everyone was like wait, what? what?? lololol Then he made his way over to the "stage" area and took the microphone to say hi to us, make sure that we grabbed food from the buffet, etc...  He actually started the event with circling around the tables and taking photos with everyone (which I think took everyone by surprise because that's usually done last). So he took photos with everyone and was restricted to 20 seconds at each table to chat lol.  The staff kept him on-time otherwise I think he would’ve definitely gone over.

I told him it was my first time at one of his events, which made him happy and then he asked me how I got to know about him, so I said Engeki, and then I told him I came from America to watch it and to come to this event and he was happily surprised. He was gonna ask me another thing but time was up!  Not much anyone can say in 20 seconds if you’re trying for an actual conversation lol.

For the guest corner he kept giving us clues and I think we all knew who they'd be but everyone was shy so nobody spoke up to guess who. And then Justin and Hiroki came out and there was cheering and clapping~♡♡♡  (There’s a part of me that is deeply amused to have seen Hiroki twice in three days and both times at some other actor’s event where he was a ‘secret guest’ LOL.  For not going to an Ino Hiroki event, I’ve seen him quite a bit lately lol)  Instead of going to Ken-chan first, Hiroki decided to be a little shit (like always) and he went for the buffet table instead and Ken-chan was like, “Later!  You can eat later!”

Ahhhhhh seeing the three of them together like old times was sooo -clutches heart- And they were really happy about it too. Hiroki and Justin hung out just yesterday with Kage-chan to watch the World Cup, and Ken-chan knew about that but he doesn't know anything about soccer.  But he actually decided to watch some yesterday and thought Senegal's coach was really cool, and then he said the Japanese goalkeeper was cool and the other two were just like, “yeah.... no comment.”  I also don’t know anything about soccer, but my twitter timeline seems to have mixed feelings about the Japanese goalkeeper and I’m assuming Justin and Hiroki don’t really like him lol.   Justin had been a guest at a previous donut conference, and Hiroki has gone to one before, and he asked, “How is this any different from a donut conference?” Since this particular fan event is named differently and stuff lol.  But the whole theme of this one is to just “relax” so for example, there’s no Kenko appearance, and based on the DVDs I’ve seen, the donut conferences tend to be a little bit more elaborate in content.  More like Takato’s event that I saw probably.  But this one was meant to be smaller, more easygoing, more intimate.

If there was ever any doubt that the "Today's Third Years" videos were ken-chan's idea, no more reason to doubt lol. The other two were whining about being tired after Engeki performances but Ken-chan would always come up to them with, "So for today's theme!!"  Justin pointed out how much thought Ken-chan put into those themes all the time.  Hiroki apparently wasn't overly fond of the one where he was the boy catching bugs and Ken-chan was the cicada and Justin was the mantis. Which cracked me up because that's probably one of my favorites and also Hiroki arguably got the best part since he wasn't a bug lol  But Hiroki likes to complain tho lol. And still he admitted that because Ken-chan was always so excited about them he'd get into them too, and Justin agreed to that.

Keeping with the Engeki stories: Apparently one time in the dressing rooms, Justin's personal makeup mirror was missing, but his and only his, and he was confused and wondering, “...are they telling me not to wear makeup??” And Ken-chan said, “You could just go on stage without makeup, you look good enough to not need it.” But Justin replied, "Ok but like, Asahi is Japanese. And I have this foreigner face. And I have to try and make my eyes look smaller." So then Ken-chan asked the crowd, “Who does their make-up in the mornings and tries to make their eyes look smaller?”  Obviously nobody raised their hand and Justin answered, “Pretty sure it’s just me.  Just me.”  

English became a topic at one point and Justin admitted he's stopped taking English lessons because he’s gotten too busy to go. That and, "I also realized I could just practice by talking to my family." And Hiroki was like YOU SHOULD'VE REALIZED THAT FROM THE START!  Hiroki also wanted to brush up so he recently bought a textbook for self-study, but he said it was too hard.  Lots of unknown vocabulary. Then Ken-chan said he actually remembers the first English word he ever learned, which was "sacrifice" and the others were like WHAT A WEIRD FIRST WORD??? But it's because a friend of his from grade school used it kind of weirdly and after he asked the teacher what it meant, he realized better what his friend was talking about, thought it was profound and then remembered it forever.

Hiroki was like, "I kind of understand how you could be friends.  He sounds weird like you." Actually Justin and Hiroki called Ken-chan "weird" a number of times lol, like it's his defining feature or something. That and he texts them in their three-person group chat like a “girlfriend.”

He’ll send them selfies and go, "Here's today's Akisawa Kentarou!" and Hiroki is always like dude, what? Or out of nowhere he’ll tell them, "It's cold out so take care and don't catch a cold ok!" And Justin was like, “It's kind of like having a girlfriend.”

For a little question corner someone wanted Justin and Hiroki to say something they liked about Ken-chan and also one thing they disliked. Justin loves ken-chan's bright and warm personality. He feels like Ken-chan gives him extra energy and strength and that he always gets caught up in Ken-chan’s pace.   Hiroki loves that when it comes to Ken-chan he can really feel like he cares for each individual in their own unique way.  Like Ken-chan is mindful of different people and holds a different kind of love for everyone. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS KIND OF DEEP I DUNNO I GOT EMOTIONAL.  Justin agreed and Ken-chan said how happy he was to hear that.  

Another question was, if the three of them could appear together in a play again, what kind of roles would Ken-chan imagine for everyone?  And honestly it got kind of weird and convoluted, but he assigned Justin to be a monk, and for Hiroki to be someone completely plain and normal.  Because Hiroki’s done a lot of different types of roles as an actor and since his normal personality is kind of out there, he thought it would be a challenge for Hiroki to be as plain and as normal as possible.  And Ken-chan himself would be like... the bad guy running an evil organization, but then he found religion and converted... but it was a trick... it got weird.  Justin was nodding his head and kind of getting into it, but Hiroki’s face just kept getting more and more confused LOL.  And at the end he was just like, “What is this?!  This would definitely have a bad ending!”  ( 絶対バッドエンド！) Justin just went, “Yeah this just all reminded me of how amazing Ken-chan is.  He just comes up with stuff like this.”  Hiroki was just giving these super doubtful looks, oh my god, he looked so funny honestly.  

When the guest corner wrapped up and Ken-chan said goodbye to them, he tried to kiss Hiroki’s hand as he shook it, and Hiroki was just giving him the funniest stink-eye for the next two whole minutes as he slowly, slowly backed off from the stage area lololol.  (Again, HIROKI IT’S NOT LIKE YOU DON’T TRY TO SNEAK SMOOCHES FROM PEOPLE, I JUST SAW YOU TRY TO SMOOCH TAKATO TWO NIGHTS AGO; HE’S SUCH A LITTLE SHIT I LOVE HIM).

After that, Ken-chan treated us to a song, and my heart was soaring because I love his singing, and he picked such a sweet song with sweet lyrics, and UGH.  I need to see him live in a musical someday.  He was all nervous before he started too, saying that he was bad at singing and everyone in the room just VEHEMENTLY shook their heads like WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!?!  But the space was small and he wasn’t on an elevated stage at all, so I’m sure the intimacy of the setting made it a little more nerve-wracking singing a solo song in front of 60 people.  

Then for his good-bye message he thanked us all for supporting him and for making events like this possible.  He even gestured to me where I was sitting and said, “Even coming all the way from America!  She’s here from America, everyone!” and the other girls did the “Ehhh???” thing at me and OMG I just kind of bowed meekly.  But then another girl in the front raised her hand and said she was from China studying abroad, and Ken-chan was all, “I’m global!  Global Kentarou!”

Then for the send-off, he would shake our hands and try to spend at least another 20 seconds talking to each of us as he gave us our individual good-byes.  If you ordered his donut conference DVD, there was the option to have him give you your copy at the end of the event, so obviously I did that lol.

He also prepared these little handwritten cards for everyone with small felt roses attached, so I now have a handwritten card from Ken-chan~

When it was my turn, he took my hands and shook them and thanked me for coming all the way from America to see him.  He asked me how long the trip takes, and I told him that from Seattle to Narita is about a 10-hr flight, and he was like, “That’s so far!”   And then I showed him the donut earrings I wore for his event, and he poked one gently and pointed them out to his friend who was assisting at the event (It was Shouma, who helps him at every event I think) and was just like, “Look at her donut earrings!  They’re so cute!”  And then he complimented my Japanese, wished me a safe trip home, and held my hands again (how do I ever wash these hands again?) and said, “Have a nice day!!” and I dunno.  My heart just like... melted.  Also my gift for him this time was a black shirt that has “have a nice day” embroidered on it so it was also a bit... not deja vu, but ANYWAYS.  I’m so proud of myself for not tripping up the stairs as I left because oh my god the euphoriaaaaa~

My photo with him is going to be one of my most prized possessions forever probably.  

----

Oh!  Also the three of them made a video after the event (x) but since Ken-chan and Hiroki are “graduated” from being Karasuno third-years, it’s not titled the usual “Today’s Third-Years.”  Now it’s “Today’s Adults... or wannabe adults anyway”

PERSONA 5 AU PROFILE

I finally finished the profile! You don’t gotta read this if you wanna roleplay with me in this AU, this is more like a dump so I don’t forget this stuff.

Name: Ouma Kokichi Age: 18 Education: Shujin Academy Residence: Yongen-Jaya

Arcana: Fortune Persona: Nezumi Kozou Melee Weapon: Daggers/Hunting Knives Ranged: Pistols (Only used when absolutely necessary)

BACKGROUND

Kokichi’s parents died when he was young and it’s unclear when and how he found his way to an orphanage. Once turning old enough to live alone, he moved into his own apartment, a cheap place in Yongen-Jaya. A while ago, he had experienced a few weird, surreal encounters that are blurry in his memory, until he found a mysterious app on his phone that granted him access to the metaverse. After an unfortunate accident and fighting off the owner of a palace, his rebellion lead to the discovery of his persona. Since then, he sometimes visits Mementos to use his skill for good in disguise.

DICE exists, though he hasn’t told them about the existence of the metaverse yet. It’s a parallel dimension with many risks and an experience like that is life-changing. So, he’ll investigate it first until he understands how it works, before dragging them into something they can’t turn away from later. Most importantly though, fighting is always connected to violence and even if they’re not fighting humans or animals, just shadows, it leaves a bad aftertaste. Kokichi knows how useful the metaverse is to do good and after having seen it he can’t turn his eyes away, but he feels bad about fighting and is often caught in an internal conflict due to this. Until he solves this for himself, he doesn’t want to burden them with these countless problems.

ARCANA “ The Fortune Arcana is portrayed by the Wheel of Fortune and symbolizes fate, luck, fortune and opportunity. Personas of this Arcana often specialize in Wind-based abilities. They are depicted as mythological figures or deities that control fate / omens.Human characters of the Fortune.

Human characters of the Fortune Arcana are usually individuals who attempt to seize their own destiny in spite of fate and are typically involved with making important choices and decisions in response to what life throws at them. “ (Taken from the Megami Tensei Wikia)

I chose this Arcana since Ouma, to be blunt, tends to have real shit luck and easily ends up in situations in canon where yes, a lot was his own fault, but a lot was also him ending up in terrible situations, trying to control them and making grave decisions that changed the entire course of the game itself. 

PERSONA: NEZUMI KOZOU

History: During the Edo period, he was a thief and folk hero said to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Over the span of 15 years, he stole around 30.000 ryo, despite the theft of 10 ryo being punished with death and having already received a warning tattoo in form of a stripe on his arm. His thievery was a humiliation towards the wealthy samurai he stole from. Some historians believe he might have wasted the money on women and gambling, but the poor celebrated him for mocking the oppressive forces and their lack of security through his deeds. Thus, it is unsure what his true nature was.

Nakamura Jirokichi received the nickname ‘Nezumi Kozou’, which translates to ‘rat urchin.’ When breaking into samurai’s homes, he was said to release a bag of rats into their residence to cover up the possible noise he made while stealing. In reference to Jirokichi’s good luck, many scrape stone off his grave when visiting it in Tokyo.

OUMA’S PHANTOM THIEF OUTFIT

His upper body is concealed by a white, formal jacket. It has a closed collar, three fake bondage straps on each of his arms and more or less loose, colourful buttons at the front. It looks like someone tied a kimono sash around his waist, made of checkered black and white fabric, but it’s tightly sewn into the fabric of his jacket and there’s no knot or ribbon to be seen. His pants are in the same fashion, white, fake bondage belts, and he wears thin, laced boots of the same colour. Dangling from his hips are two broken chains that seem to lead nowhere. Around his shoulders, he’s wearing a torn cape, black on the outside, dark purple on the inside.

The final parts of his outfit are of course the mask and gloves. Since they always need to be colourful for a phantom thief, his are purple. A white, half mask covers his eyes with the same motive as his official DICE mask. Kokichi both likes it and complains about his outfit, because some parts of it are cumbersome, but he’ll grow comfortable with it over time.

(It’s different from his official artwork, but the outfit is obviously inspired by it. I did this because I believe DICE portrays a great part of his beliefs and strength and is such a huge part of his life that it’s simply tied to his rebellion, too.)

NEZUMI KOZOU

Visual Description: As a young man from Japan during the Edo period, Nezumi is wearing part of a snow white kimono on his upper body, with a black sash tied around his waist and hems of the same colour. It’s hard to see, but the inside of the kimono part is checkered. His pants are made of white fabric as well, though silver chains tightly wind around them starting from his hips. Raven, straight hair flows over his shoulders and floats ominously around him, along with his attire, whenever he attacks. Nezumi’s skin is pale as bone and his face is covered by a full white mask, matching the one Kokichi wears, though the sides are inverted.

He does not carry an obvious weapon, but there are daggers hidden underneath his clothes. What he always carries with him is the huge rat cage on his back. It is crafted of a white, silvery frame holding chambers of black tinted glass, each containing either a rat or a fortune spirit. Most ominous are the rats themselves, for they have pitch-black fur and violet, glowing eyes.

The fortune spirits are bound to doll-shaped Omikuji. One may believe they represent fortune and the rats represent misfortune, but since Nezumi used his rats to cover up his noise and distract from his deeds, one may also associate it to Kokichi’s lies, since they’re his cover up and greatest tool, too.

Nezumi Kozou’s clothes are torn and dirty, but his determination to mock the oppression remains undefeated.

Fighting style: Befitting of a thief, he has a relatively low defence, but a high attack rate and agility as compensation. Nezumi uses his rats in battle to brainwash and confuse enemies into attacking each other or being more vulnerable towards critical hits. Some of his attacks are like the wind carrying the disturbing chatter of rats to your ears, while others strike you mercilessly and quickly to bestow a swift death upon you. The fortune spirits grant him and his companions greater luck and useful status conditions.

Sidenote: I originally wanted a historical figure, a pacifist against violence or something similar, but there was nothing I could have used together with the lies and trickery theme necessary for him, sooo...I ended up picking this. Not 100% what I wanted, but not bad I believe. I adjusted a few things about Kozou, but yeah. Also, jokes on Ouma, the “good luck charm” thing is pretty ironic since Ouma tends to have shitty luck himself. So I guess this acts more as a neutralisation in battle.
