gosh i’ve been seeing so much bad stuff with mizuki lately :( i’m not sure if you already have, but if not, could you maybe do some little mizuki hcs? i just wanna comfort her so bad 💔

Little Mizuki Headcanons ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹

Sweetest baby girl ever! Regresses from 0-7 usually, but on harder days she’s more likely to be around 0-1 in a more baby headspace!

Very sweet and polite baby, unlike when she’s big, she’s way more shy and scared to express herself or her needs. Is very quiet and shy, so sometimes she clings to her caregivers shirts and just points at what she wants while avoiding eye contact ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟ ྀི꒱ა

Loooooves snacking! She has little Sanrio plates with dividers that her cgs fill up with yummy treats and she snacks on them happily ໒꒰ྀི˶˃ᆺ˂˶ ꒱ྀིა

When she’s struggling with dysmorphia, ena sits her down in front of a mirror and brushes her hair softly while having her repeat soft affirmations like:

“I am safe and cared for.”

“ ‘m Safe… an cared for.”

“Good girl, Princess! Now say: I’m beautiful and worth it.”

“I’m beautiful… n worthit.”

Her favorite pet names when she’s little are: babygirl, princess, sunshine, darling, Angel and bubbles! ♡

Whoever is caregiving for her, always makes sure to gently affirm her gender by little things such as:

“Does the princess want the my melody sippy cup? Or the Bon Bon ribbon sippy cup?”

“Sweet Angel, which pretty pink dress does my pretty pink girl want to wear today?”

“Come let nana hold you, my lovely girl.”

Her regression is mostly due to her childhood trauma; and even though her caregivers try to make it a positive experience for her, she tends to cry a lot when she’s in a little headspace especially when bad memories resurface on her little mind :(

When she’s crying, she does it very quietly to not alert/burden/worry anyone with herself,, however! Her caregivers are very perceptive and always running to the rescue! ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১

When she’s crying, Mafuyu cradles her in his arms and rocks her gently while he walks around the room, soothingly singing to her and comforting her.

If she’s crying and Kanade finds her, she cuddles her in bed against the headboard, gently carding her hands through her hair and kissing her head while comforting her.

If Ena finds her crying, she picks her up and talks to her and cuddles her and gives her sooooo many kisses and blows little raspberries on her tummy until she’s a happy and content baby again

Back to fluff!!! She looooves stickers soo much! Whenever she’s done good she loves it when her caregivers put a tiny sticker on her overalls or notebooks, makes her so giddy and happy! ૮꒰ ྀི >⸝⸝⸝< ྀི꒱ა

Has names for allll her stuffed animals! Whoever her caregiver who’s putting her for a nap is, must kiss her and all of them goodnight on the forehead or else she can’t sleep! ૮ ྀི◞ ⸝⸝ ◟ ྀིა

Very silent and clingy baby! If she’s in a more toddler headspace she’s very chatty and even more clingy hehe!!!

Loves forehead kisses, always bends down her head shyly and taps her forehead waiting for a kiss!

Also loves cheek pecks! 🥺 she will Shyly tap on her cheek and wait for her caregivers to swoop her in their arms and drown her in kisses!!!!

They all love their baby girl sooo much ૮ ⸝⸝o̴̶̷᷄ ·̭ o̴̶̷̥᷅⸝⸝♡

PS: yes I’ve seen the stuff on twitter :( it’s very devastating to see people still misgender her and disregard her struggles and everything she went through just to be ignorant and refer to her as a boy :/

I’m glad the mizu5 event comes on October 11 which is the National coming out day ૮ ⸝⸝o̴̶̷᷄ ·̭ o̴̶̷̥᷅⸝⸝ <3 I’ll be so proud of my baby girl when she comes out to ena and niigo!! I hope everything goes well she deserves all the love and happiness in the world, she’s the sweetest ever ૮⸝⸝o̴̶̷᷄ _ o̴̶̷̥᷅⸝⸝ ྀིა♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

[playroom-sekaii]

do you have any fluffy/nice small mizuki headcanons after the bombshell that was mizu5? i feel so bad for them i hope they get better :(

Why of course!

(This post uses she/they pronouns for Mizuki!!)

Fluffy little Mizuki hcs 🎀

(Oh how they deserve better...)

🩷 They love pretending to be a magical girl! Lovely Ribbon Mizu-chan is here to save her cgs and sibbies from any bad guys or monsters that may threaten them! Usually involving the monsters on the bed or when Ena decides to be the "worstest person ever" and says no more cookies since they "already had five" smh those are rookie numbers.

🩷 Most of her cg titles are sibling ones (Kanade-neechan, Ena-nee, Rui-niichan, etc), but Honami is her mama, she's everyone in Nightcord's mama, she cannot fight it /lh

🩷 Absolutely hates naps, but adores the idea of "catnaps". They'll only go down for a nap some days if their cg agrees to let them curl up in a ball on a chair, their lap, or a "cat bed" made of pillows. Sunbeams help immensely. They may or may not also be a kitty regressor that hasn't realized it yet-

🩷 That being said, for how chaotic they can be while small, they love quiet time, usually while other little ones are napping. Cuddling up close with a cg, maybe with a white noise machine or gentle music on, working on simple crafts or reading a picture book, either with them involved or just having their caregiver as a comforting presence. This especially helps when they've had a long or stressful day, they calm down immediately.

🩷 Loves claw machines, since she already loves stuffed animals while small. She's been fuzzy while walking home with Toya before and they passed an arcade, which ended in Mizuki being so impressed by "Mr. Toya's" super cool crane machine skills, since even though she loves the stuffed animals she usually needs Mafuyu or Rui to win them for her when she's small (oh, the tragedies of poor hand-eye coordination...)

🩷 They love the idea of being a cool big sister to younger regressors, just like Yuuki! They wanna help their cgs with everything they can, even if sometimes it's a bit messy (they aren't allowed to refill sippy cups on their own anymore), it's the thought that counts!

🩷 Speaking off, before telling Ena and the rest of Nightcord, the only ones that knew they were an age regressor were Rui and Yuuki, who saw them regressed a few times in middle school and helped them out before they eventually told her what it was later. She's very supportive, buying them lots of cute little gear and cging over phone or video calls when they're alone, even when their time zones get a bit wonky she'll never leave her baby sister behind.

🩷 She has a brown stuffed kitty named Enanyan. When she's big Ena gets tsuntsun about it but when Mizuki's regressed it makes her feel so happy, like, woah she's actually doing good as a cg-

Yeydydeyen requests are open‼️‼️ anyways can i request where gn reader fell asleep on the s/o lap? Like they were talking and they felt readers head on their lap.

The characters would be the unit leaders(tsukasa, minori, ichika, kohane and kanade) please and thankyou💗🛐

hello! i tweaked the idea a little bit but it's still got the same concept. enjoy!

Ichika, Minori, Kohane, Tsukasa, Kanade x gn!reader

✧falling asleep on you/them

✧fluff

-Ichika is so sweet when you fall asleep on her shoulder when you both sit together. She gets a little embarrassed at first but she really is smiling and content with you sleeping on her shoulder.

-She doesn't really ever fall asleep on you though, she can stay up pretty late without having to fight her eyes to stay up with you. As long as you're up, she'll try her best to stay up with you until you fall asleep.

-Prefers to lay next to you while you both sleep but, doesn't mind having you rest on her to sleep. Whether that be on her lap or her shoulder, as long as you're resting easy, she's content.

-It's pretty common for both you and Minori to fall asleep while leaning onto the others shoulder. Sometimes one of you just needs a quick nap and the others shoulder is the perfect spot for that.

-Quite honestly, she like to sleep on your lap. It's comforting to her, especially when you start to play with her hair gently. It makes her fall asleep so fast she doesn't even realize that she just did.

-She does prefer to cuddle with you if you both decide to take a nap together though. She just really likes hugging you as you both are comfortably sleeping beside one and other.

-Kohane often comes home from one of her late night shows and wants to sleep but she also wants to stay up with you still! She always feels guilty when she falls asleep on your shoulder or lap because she couldn't keep herself awake.

-It's not uncommon for you both to fall asleep on each other though. She'll fall asleep on your shoulder first and you'll follow soon after, your head leaning on hers.

-She feels bad when she falls asleep on you, leaving you alone as if you both weren't having a conversation. She thought she closed her eyes for one second and then it's suddenly morning! She truly wished she didn't fall asleep so easily like that.

-Tsukasa doesn't particularly fall asleep on you often. He's most times up and about, not sitting at any given moment so it's truly hard to fall asleep on him unless it was late at night when he's mellowed out and gotten tired from the eventful day that was earlier.

-More often than not, you'll be falling asleep next to each other rather than on the other. Sometimes though, you just want to spend some time laying on his lap while he flips through his phone or the channels on tv.

-Its then when that's your only chance to fall asleep on him. He likes to play with your hair occasionally when you lay your head on his lap so it really only adds to the sleepiness that you feel when you lay down.

-When he realizes that you've fallen asleep, he won't move. There's no way that he'd like to wake up his precious s/o after they were tired enough to fall asleep on his lap! He lets you take your nap until you wake up, not wanting to move no matter what.

A comfortable silence was settling in the room as you and Kanade sat on her bed together. She had just gotten off a call with her friends and wanted to spend some time with you. Some well deserved time with all the music she's been composing. She needed a break and sometimes she couldn't get one.

" Hey, look at this cute cat, Kanade. " You angled your phone towards her, refreshing the video to start it over for her. You heard her let out a quiet, short laugh at the cat video as she rested her head on your shoulder.

" The cat was very cute, I like it. " She smiled, returning her gaze back to her own phone screen and you resumed your scrolling. Your favorite thing was the fact that you both could sit in silence and yet still know the other is enjoying every moment of whatever you both might be doing, even if it is separately.

It didn't matter if suddenly as you were scrolling, an audio blasted loudly because you'd laugh it off and Kanade would just smile. She enjoyed it and hoped you did too. She liked just being next to you, her head on your shoulder and you both sat comfortably together.

It wasn't long after you showed her another video of cats that she put down her phone and started watching yours. " Hey... Go back I wanted to see what would happen on that. " And you'd scroll back up and watch it with her. That was until you only heard her breathing quietly as she slept on your shoulder. It had gotten late so you didn't blame her but you'd feel bad if you were to move her! You both end up sleeping there until morning where she feels a bit guilty for falling asleep like that on you.

please do not repost any of my work without my permission, thank you for reading.

Listen, I understand why Suite isn't a popular season. Generally speaking, the best parts of it are generally done better in the two seasons that precede it. It in many ways is just a weaker frankensteining of Fresh and Heartcatch. But Fresh and Heartcatch are fantastic, so just because it's worse than those seasons, doesn't mean its bad in my opinion. And to be fair, it does deserve many of its criticisms.

But it's also one of my favorite seasons, and I think some of it's criticisms are more a matter of taste. There's just a lot I love about Suite.

Hibiki and Kanade

I also know a lot of people aren't huge fans of the whole fighting thing Hibiki and Kanade have going on. And I agree, it's not the best executed and some things don't make sense. I also understand that many people are not fond of the vitriolic best buds trope, but I don't think that makes their relationship inherently bad just not to everyone's taste. For what it's worth, we haven't had a pair of cures like them before and since and it's a tragedy to me personally because I am quite fond of vitriolic best buds, duo cures and childhood friends. We have so many cure duos and aside from these two, none are childhood friends. The CLOSEST is the fact that Saki and Mai met once, when they were 9. Several trios of childhood friends (Fresh, Doki Doki and Happiness Charge), but they're the only true childhood friend duo. I honestly want more cures like these two. They get the learning to understand each other that the new friendships have, with the wealth of intimate knowledge about each other stemming from their childhood friendship. Despite spending a year "apart", the years they spent together still mean something, and they can't seem to stay away. They're mad at each other but there is still a comfortable familiarity in the way they aren't afraid to fight with each other. They say they aren't friends but they still call each other by first name.

Their hearts naturally fall into perfect harmony. The have like the same sense of style. Kanade likes to bake. Hibiki likes to eat. Souta refers to Hibiki as "Hibiki-Nee-san", and otherwise treats her similarly to his own sister. They have a flashlight code that they use to communicate across town at night. Neither one realized that there are two entrances with Sakura trees at their middle school or tried to talk about it for a whole year. They're both so stupid.

They take after Nagisa and Honoka a lot too. Nagisa and Hibiki are both athletic redheads who are good at sports and have black as a main color in one of their outfits (Cure for Nagisa, Civ for Hibiki), and generally use pink in their outfits. Both like to eat. Both can be prone to grumpiness and disagreements with their family members. Honoka and Kanade are both white Cures with fierce tempers and a strong sense of responsibility, able to handle domestic things like cooking. Both have more academic strengths, but are relatively graceful. There are some twists of course, Kanade has the little brother who she bickers with (their little brother's even both end their name with "ta"), Hibiki is the one with a parent who is often abroad. I really like how the two called back to the original duo without at all feeling like a copy.

To be fair not communicating is the name of the game in Suite. And so, I do 100% understand not liking this plot. I really do understand it. It's more than fair. All of the plots basically revolve around miscommunication. That is like. The entirety of Suite. Miscommunications, and the breakdown and subsequent healing of relationships. A very very valid complaint. One that I can overlook, but understand if others cannot.

Siren and Hummy

So, Precure's second heel-face turn Cure (if we don't count the Kiryuu sisters). She's a shapeshifting cat who can sing. The original one.

While normally I dislike the "Brainwashed to be evil" trope. It can be very effective. Go Princess used it to great effect in which there was a level of tragedy to the years that had been stolen away from Towa, and how her motivations had been twisted. I think it has similar effect here, where we kind of get both. She was brainwashed, and I do think that does cheapen Siren's motivations and redemption a bit, but she also had genuinely negative feelings towards Hummy, that she acted on in refusing to practice with Hummy. She still has to face Hummy head on, and as much as she tries to pretend that she's hard and strong enough to live in her bitterness. Siren isn't actually mean enough to keep facing her friend and betray her over and over again.

Hummy being better at singing than her caused her to lose a piece of her identity. The most important singer in all of Majorland. The one who sings the melody of happiness. So Siren doubles down on that identity. She becomes Minorland's singer. But she also, due to her shapeshifting, spends that time adopting different identities. Testing things out, even if she doesn't realize it. Ultimately she has to completely let go of her old identity (losing access to her original form) and everything associated with it and forge a new sense of self, in order to find happiness. But she doesn't completely lose everything.

Despite not liking to be called Siren anymore, she still lets Hummy call her that. She turned her old identity of Siren into something bitter, so she had to cast it off to redefine herself. But Hummy is the only one who ever saw the real Siren through everything Siren tried to become. Hummy may have been the one who took her sense of worth, but she's also the one who always saw Siren's value as Siren. Hummy gets to use Siren because her relationship with Hummy is the only thing that survived Siren's evolution. The two have to forge a new relationship to a certain extent. But it's built on what came before.

I also just think it's fun that the bulk of this emotional arc is on Hummy. It's cat drama. Fairy drama. Usually this is the kinda of stuff that happens between the pink and the heel-face cure. But not this time. This time it's the cat fairy, and the pink is dealing with her own friendship drama. I think it also ties right back into Suites continued echo of healing relationships, actually listening to people in order to harmonize with them. Hibiki and Kanade have to resolve their bitter feelings from their estrangement. Siren has to get over her jealousy to let Hummy back into her life. And Mephisto and Aphrodite have to stop fighting a war against each other.

Major Land's Royal Family

I mean really, no one bothered to tell Hibiki and Kanade at any point that Mephisto was the brainwashed former King of Major Land and that Major Land had a princess who was in hiding? Just locked out of the loop. Both Kanon and Majorland are entirely made up of people who can't communicate.

Anyway, Ako is my all time favorite cure. I rather unpopular choice, I know. But she fits right in with many of my other favorites, characters such as Hikari Yagami, Takeru Takaishi, King Clawthorne, King Ezran, Anya Forger etc. I love kid characters. I especially love messed up traumatized kids who don't always deal with it in great ways. And kid characters with heaps of responsibility on their shoulders. Like chosen ones and royalty.

So Ako is the epitome of what I look for in my favorite characters. She's a 9 year old with high future expectations, that she can't even begin to try and live up to because she's been sent away from everything she's known and loved. Not just moving to a new town, but a new world, where the rules of what is and isn't normal are different. In addition she was forced into physically altering her appearance, wearing unfamiliar clothes, and cutting her long hair. Not only that, she now has to keep everything about her secret. Her hometown, whatever music magic she has, her real future career plans, everything that made her her, has to be suppressed and kept secret. And she was like. Six. That's tiny. And she has to construct a whole new fake identity?

No wonder she's grumpy and keeps to herself? Her alternative is just trying to keep up a bunch of lies all the time. And keeping to herself, means few friends, and trying to keep people away, because this is supposed to be temporary to some degree. She has back home eventually, she's their future queen. She really has no choice BUT to be a grumpy brat. To keep from getting found out and to keep from getting attached. Like sure she doesn't have to be a brat to Hibiki and Kanade, but she's kinda right half the time, and honestly her tempering that brattiness into being just unpleasant enough to be left alone without being so obnoxious she draws people's ire involves way more socio-emotional intelligence than should ever be expected from a nine year old. And at a certain point, after years of it, it became part of her real personality. The sweet optimistic little princess is still there. But it's under a layer of cynicism.

Ako wants her family back. So she gets the power to do that. And things still don't go her way.

I've joked to people before that Ako is one of 4 cures with divorced parents. Her parents are effectively divorced, but extra. They're not just trying to fight over a house and custody of her, but over not just an entire kingdom, but the fate of the world. And her father doesn't even know who she is anymore. Her parents are actively at war, and her mother honestly shows no qualms about letting her husband be potentially killed, not bothering to tell the people she's sent after him about their relationship and his true nature. (And then her mom asks Mephisto to kill her to protect their kingdom, Ako can't catch a break).

This ties back to a fact that is kind of brushed over in the show. Ako is the princess. In the show she's honestly just the princess because it puts her in between Mephisto and Aphrodite's drama. But we see in show that Mephisto and Aphrodite are constantly putting their kingdom's needs above their own. A- monarchs (points deducted for getting brainwashed), but like. B- parents tbh. They love Ako so, so much, but simply can't raise her themselves. In fact, Ako's parents won't look after themselves, so Ako has to look out for them instead of the other way around. We see this a lot with Mephisto.

Sometimes Ako makes absolutely stupid decisions, like releasing notes, because she doesn't want to go against her dad, even if he isn't himself right now. Because she's a child whose parents are fighting, seemingly to the death, and if she can spread out the fight, she can hopefully drag out the arrival of consequences.

Ako does eventually learn to use the power as a cure, so she can balance the needs of the many over the needs of her loved ones. So she can do both. But she has to learn to make the hard choices and be willing to stand against her loved ones.

Also Ako also gets the miscommunication based friendship breakdown with her and Suzu, and to a lesser extent her and Souta in the movie. Suite really goes hard on the whole healing relationships thing.

Ako is really a direct foil to Yuri who precedes her. Missing evil brainwashed dads. Present throughout the whole show, but only join the team in the last quarter (the latest of any Cures). Semi-awkward friendship with one of the other cure's siblings in part because their friend doesn't know about all their magical girl trauma. Already looped into the magical girl stuff before any of the other cures, so has a preexisting relationship of some sort with the grandparent mentor. Ako is pretty much just a baby Yuri, but who has just now gained the power to try and fight after years of inability to do anything, instead of having just lost her power, and having to face down her own failure and keep going. So she's an angry elementary kid rather than a depressed high schooler. How can I not love her?

THANK YOU FOR READING :3

[idiotwhowritesshipstuff]

HAPPY BDAY!! 🎉🎊 SORRY IF THIS MAY KR MAY NOT BE LATE..!

Also, sorry bruv didn’t know bout my last request. Buut if your willing to do it without yandere.. I want to see if you are A-okay with doing it with Tsurugi(dra vers), and Shinji(sdra2) ? I was going to ask for yuki but bro doesn’t deserve this much trauma BUT same request just replacing Akane, and Kanade with Tsurugi, and Shinji

-🐒

You certainly know how to pick them for this scenario 😂 You picked the ones who would have the worst reactions lmao.

Thanks for the birthday greeting! I took a while to respond as I've had family over this past few weeks and I recently got P5R as a gift which I've been binging (I've just beaten the fourth palace lol)

For convenience I will refer to the blackened best friend as F/N or "friend's name". If people find this cringey I'll edit it out

F/N's motive in Tsurugi's is left in the air but with Shinji they're a Void

TW: Tsurugi's beliefs, reader dies

DRA Tsurugi Kinjo and Shinji Kasai with a reader who sacrificed themselves for their blackened friend

Ever since you two started dating, Tsurugi has preached his beliefs about criminal scum onto you. To enter into a relationship with him you have to either agree with him or be someone who can actually cause his beliefs to genuinely falter in a way that avoids breaking his mind. Considering your later actions, you clearly fall into the latter category.

Considering Tsurugi's past with his late best friend, he's always had an appreciation for your close friendship with F/N. His friendship with Kouhei was ripped away from him by a bomb and he sincerely hopes that this killing game won't be what rips you two apart. He would frequently tell you how he vows to protect you two so that your friendship gets the happy ending he didn't get to have.

With how isolated Tsurugi is from the group, his relationship with F/N is wholly dependent on if they're as willing as you are to look past his psycho cop behavior. Tsurugi would love to be friends with F/N as he knows how precious they are to you but he's also not going to push it since pushing it would just upset them and in turn upset you which he wouldn't want to do.

When a body shows up and investigation starts, he investigates and comes to a grim realization. He would end up triple checking all the evidence and facts for your sake but the truth becomes very clear to Tsurugi after his autopsy and analysis of the crime: F/N is the killer.

He plans to break it to you before the trial starts to spare you the horror of finding out in the middle of the class trial and so you can get away from the criminal but he doesn't get the chance to talk to you about it in private due to F/N clinging to you and instead just spends the entire trial antagonizing them and is much harsher to them than he ever was on Akane. Friendships are something to be treasured and the fact they threw away their friendship with you by becoming a criminal disgusts him.

Your choice to defend them throughout the trial is something that angers Tsurugi but is something he can rationalize, you've been long time friends with them, you didn't just meet at the start of the killing game, once you see the facts you have to accept the truth that is painfully right in front of you so he alongside Yuki and Rei break down every shred of evidence that could imply F/N's innocence and leave you two devastated.

When F/N is convicted, his first move is to comfort you. He's not sorry for how harsh he was with you to ensure F/N's vote but he is sorry he wasn't able to rip the bandaid off early with you. You two would end up fighting over the fact you still want to be near F/N after Monokuma confirms their the killer and your classmates would likely have to step in to prevent a massive argument from ensuing.

Tsurugi's too disgusted with F/N to even bother looking at them so doesn't pay attention to the execution until Akane screams out that you're in the execution. He immediately yells at Monokuma to stop the execution since you shouldn't be there but Monokuma refuses since you being there was your own conscious choice.

He would likely try to get to the execution to drag you out but he's stopped by Monokuma and Rei who say its impossible so he's simply left in the courtroom, staring at the screen, desperately hoping for a miracle that allows you to get out of the punishment without F/N who he blames for this entire situation.

When you die alongside F/N, the fire that was in him as he demanded Monokuma stop the execution is completely put out. His mind breaks at the sight of you and F/N's death. When he had begun dating you, he had sworn to protect you both but here he was, a complete and utter failure in that regard.

Yuki would have to coax him to even move as Monokuma cackles in glee at his despair, asking him to say something over the pathetic death of his partner who died trying to save someone being punished for disturbing the group's harmony. He doesn't end up saying anything and runs off the second he's allowed to, no one except Rei would have the heart to comment on it as Tsurugi's heartbreak is palpable enough that even Haru, the guy vehemently against him, says to give him space.

He's just so confused why you would did what you did. Yuki had explained in complete detail how F/N inhumanely chose to end the life of your precious classmate yet you ran in to save them? Did you not understand that by becoming the blackened F/N was no longer your friend? They were planning to let you and everyone else die for their own selfish wishes and yet you ignored that and tried to stop their execution?

What happens to Tsurugi after these events is essentially his downward spiral in SDRA2 but at a faster pace. He had hope of recovering and becoming a better man with you by his side but with you gone at a death that was ultimately meaningless, and his future conga line of trauma at the hands of the death game that won't stop attacking everything he's built his life on, Tsurugi would break apart and be left with nothing but his corrupted sense of justice.

Shinji had always advocated for getting the Voids to join the group and betray Mikado to end the killing game once and for all. He was glad you agreed with his beliefs about the Voids since as more and more killings happened, the class grew angrier and angrier at the Voids.

He's always found it sweet that you managed to get in the same class as a long time friend of yours. When you two started dating, he would've befriended F/N and offers to train them much like he does with Yuki (albeit with a very red face if they're a girl).

As the group fractures more and more, he would try his best to ensure you and F/N stuck together as friends. You had absolute faith in your friendship with F/N so Shinji would rest easy on the matter of your friendship and instead would vow to protect you two so you don't get split apart and become victims of the killing game. If he were more observant, he would've noticed the cryptic nature of F/N's responses to him saying things like that but whenever he gets a slightly off feeling from them, he brushes them off as soon as he sees you happy with them.

When the body is discovered, he stands guard near the body but questions if he should when you are suspected for the murder due to a skeptical alibi and some evidence suggesting its you. You assure him that he should do his job and leave investigating to Kanade and Sora which he can't disagree with, those two are much better at class trials than he is and he worries he would get in the way of the trial.

When suspicion is moved from you and F/N, it's unclear just who is more defensive of them between you and Shinji. Shinji doesn't have the most sound arguments to defend F/N but much like he defended Hajime, he'll defend them when there's even the slightest bit of hope they may be innocent because he just can't fathom why F/N would commit a crime then pin it on you.

After Sora cuts down both of your arguments and F/N is outed as a Void, Shinji is the one seeking answers for their motive and plan. He had trusted in them and they had seen firsthand that he was willing to work alongside the Voids to escape Utsuroshima so just why did they kill someone for Mikado?

As their long time friend, you likely have an idea as to why they're so desperate but it's highly unlikely you have all the details. Shinji would try to evoke what he did with Emma in asking if they're really okay with dying at the hands of Monocrow. Similarly to Emma, the answer is no but of course Monocrow and Mikado don't care about any pleas for clemency and commence the execution.

You would have to move extremely fast to somehow get as far as the execution without Shinji grabbing onto you to either help you get F/N away from the chain or grabbing you to save your life. It's most likely that he did grab you in time and you tried to save F/N together, Mikado is the one to separate you three with you gripping onto F/N hard enough to get dragged into the execution with them.

Overwhelming anger washes through Shinji as you die alongside your best friend. Mikado tries to spew some excuse as to why he was unable to separate you from F/N in time but Sora would point out the fact he managed to separate Shinji from you so she finds it extremely unlikely he couldn't have separated you from F/N. When he cackles at Sora's observation, Yuki would have to hold back Shinji from breaking the no violence rule.

When they're ordered to leave the class trial, a part of Shinji doesn't want to go. This was the last place you were ever alive, why can't be allowed just one more minute in the room where you were? He would leave if execution awaited him for staying and he would confide in Yuki or Setsuka for help in how to cope with the situation. The situation doesn't change his stance on the Voids as the fact you cared enough about F/N to die with them proves the Voids aren't heartless beasts but every time he advocates for the group to get together and fight Mikado as a class, he can't help but be haunted by the memory of you and F/N, the pair of friends who he vowed to protect.

[review-anon]

Between the DR serial killers, which ones are at least the most likable personality wise?

While for extremely personal reasons I don't wish to get into until A Student Out of Time readdresses Kanade, I have little love for serial killers, out of all of them, the one I find the most tolerable is Korekiyo Shiniguji and its for a couple of reasons.

Firstly I really like his design, its easily one of the best of the Killing Harmony Cast. I also liked his original personality as someone who seems to be fascinated by the beauty of humanity and throughout the game would offer very insightful details and knowledge. If Spike Chunsoft didn't decide to make him an incest serial killer, then he could have easily been one of my favourites.

The second reason is as disgusting as the whole See-sister twist is, the only small comfort is because its largely implied a lot of the personalities in Killing Harmony are fabricated for Team Danganronpa, there is a good chance the real Korekiyo was never a serial killer, something that A Student Out Of Time seems to believe in. And even with the incest you could in theory blame Korekiyo's sister more then anything as it was clearly a unhealthy relationship and she was very emotionally abusive to her brother.

As such Korekiyo is probably the least bad of all the serial killers which is ironic since he's the one with the highest kill count. Genocider Syo is not only a very damaging stereotype for people with DID, but I don't like the fact that a serial killer is used for comic relief as its quite insensitive. I do understand why she never killed in Trigger Happy Havoc, and she does go through character development in Ultra Despair Girls, but the point is, she is still a killer. Yes she's been "tamed" and her murderous lust is directed towards objects that deserved to be smashed but outside of a literal end of the world scenario there was no way forward for this character.

And Kanade is just a poor man's Korekiyo and all kinds of disgusting. I don't need to go into a long tirade why Kanade is a horrible character, enough people have already done so.

shout out all the mizuki introjects...... shoutout all the rui kamishiro introjects, shoutout ena shinonome introjects, shout out toya aoyagi introjects, shoutout any kanade mafuyu or tsukasa introjects, and any other pjsk introject who was affected by mizu5

our own rui has a huge mixed bag of feelings about it and he doesnt even remember it, but he read through it with the host and feelings. feelings feelings... too many feelings

i hope other introjects are doing okay

-💚

Shout out to them indeed. they all deserve the care and comfort they need, and definitely shouldn’t be judged for being affected by media, especially if it’s their source!! I also hope all of them (especially our own introjects) are doing well..

[blahbeble]

I haven’t read jpsekai events yet but I think one of the things I hope to see is some development/exploration in Mizuki and Kanade’s relationship. I could talk about why incarnation is one of my favorite stories in the game all day and how good it does Kanade’s character but one thing I liked about it was their dynamic be explored as it turned the least explored dynamics in the group to one of my Favorites. I love that Mizuki is the one to help Kanade in the end showing their slow but steady growth by letting their walls down even just a little bit and being vulnerable and talking about their issues to her and just how much the group as a whole meant to them. As Kanade’s time with Mizuki as they express such genuine kindness towards her, helps her out, and is vulnerable rubs off on Kanade. As someone who dissociated from their memories and emotions to focus on her goal of saving other people because she felt like she didn’t deserve to live. Mizuki helps her remember a precious time in her past as sharing their vulnerabilities helps Kanade remember hers.

But oh my god there’s still so much I felt like they could’ve done with them that I hope the future explores. I can definitely see Mizuki taking comfort in someone like Kanade as a major part of Mizuki’s character is their abandonment issues and anxiety towards the future and their mixed feelings being happy that their friends are growing as people but the frustration of feeling stagnant fear of being left behind by everyone they love no matter what they do, no matter how that person feels about them. Mizuki feels like they have no control in their life so they don’t even try.

Kanade spends her days doing the same things. Barley leaves her house, doesn’t go to school, feels like she doesn’t deserve to live. She’s stagnant in life and isn’t imagining a future for herself but instead dedicating her life to other people. can totally see Mizuki finding Kanade’s presence weirdly comforting as Ena and Mafuyu have futures they’re building towards despite their own issues. Mizuki worries about losing them. But the idea of her indulging in Kanade as though a kindred spirit who’s stuck just like her is something very interesting to me.

[prsk-krow]

Heya there! it's my first time requesting here since I'm new to Tumblr- anyways, can I request romantic(R) Kanade x Reader where the reader loves to play with her hair from time to time and Kanade thinks that it's comforting to her for some reason. I just love Kanade very much and she deserves more attention honestly.

That's all! I might do more requests in the future, who knows? and please take your time while doing this request if you ever decide to<3

Thank you!! ✮\(^o^)/✮

{Kanade gets her hair played with!} [R]

Yes, I absolutely agree! She's such a soft, innocent bean and she deserves the world! Thanks for the ask, sorry it took this long! Also, welcome to Tumblr! As long as you stay away from the weird and don't chase after it, it's quite a nice place! Just stay in our little video-game/anime headcanons circle and you'll do just fine! Trust me!

Firstly, it's important to know that this girl gets bashful at any type of physical contact you may make with her! Whether subtle or with permission, it will make her nervous!

So for her to grow used to it, you'll need to start off slow. Ask her if she has ever thought about it, if she's willing to give it a go, and to take it slow every time! You'll need to do this to make her more at ease!

Why? Well, let's just say that any emotions she feels are almost doubly intense when they're provoked by someone as close to her as you! So if you don't take it slow, she might panic or just freeze up... Not that she hates it, she would simply be overwhelmed!

That's why it's crucial to start off gentle, and once you do, she realizes just how nice it feels! It practically lifts weights off her shoulders, liberates her mind from malicious thoughts, makes the air she breathes clearer...

"... Huh? N-no, it's nothing. U-um... You're just playing with my hair, right? Um, w-why? Well... It just, feels really good... Hey, i-it's not that funny... Is it? It's so weird... B-but I... I like it, I think."

If you get this reaction, then congratulations, you're doing it right! Now, make sure to space out the times you try it out, to not overwhelm the poor, touch starved girl! Always be careful with Kanade in any type of physical contact...

However, if you stop doing it for too long, then she'll forget how it felt far too much, and you'll have to repeat the process! Yes it can be annoying, but it's absolutely worth it!

Why? Because everyone knows at this point that this little shut in has an overworking problem, and with it, a stress and fatigue problem. So, what's an easy and productive way of solving that? Affection!

No seriously, whenever you come into her room, no matter how busy she may be, she pauses and logs off her PC for a bit to pay attention to you, so you can pay attention to her! It's actually pretty adorable...

"H-huh? Is it really that strange? Well, I guess I used to overwork a bit... No, that's understating it, isn't it? Ah, I think I understand... It's because of you, of your affection, that I've changed. That's right... With you by my side, I slowly change my habits for the better... Slowly but surely..."

And it's true! While being in a relationship with Kanade might be a little strange and exhausting at times, it feels so nice to watch that girl grow and start to learn to enjoy life better...

She will slowly start to randomly ask for affection, and will blush whenever you accept. It's so cute, and she won't take it badly if you laugh because of it! After all, you've told her so many times about her cuteness that she just has to accept it!

You're always taken off guard by how absolutely long her hair is, and you'll need quite a bit of space to properly brush it sometimes... Some brushes won't even work!

Although, it is very smooth! You're surprised at how well she can take vare of it, and you sometimes ask to wash it as well! It's... Actually surprisingly satisfying as well, although it takes quite a bit of effort.

You also wash it because it can get quite dirty at times... Her short stature means that the tips of her hair are sometimes dragged through the ground, and even though her caretaker can clean the floor pretty well, it still dirties her hair...

Soon enough, it will become a daily activity, for her to turn off her PC for a moment while you and her just idly chat about anything! You can't help but feel proud, as you caress her hair, about how much she has changed...

Maybe you could teach her about other ways of affection as well?

# INFO POST

This AU makes me insane, and you get to read my ramblings about it. Get Kanade’d ‼️‼️

Trigger warnings for:

Harumichi’s A+ Parenting (except it’s even worse here, fuck it we ball, i have problems and i’m projecting them on him)

Kanade not doing well At All (depression + talks about suicide, though it’s referred to as ‘disappearing’ like in canon)

Kanade and Toya having a very bad time overall 👍

If more is needed, I’ll add them 🫡🫡

so it’s a hc but for me Kanade and Toya are cousins

when Kanade’s father passes out after overworking himself and ends up in a coma, Harumichi (Toya’s father) takes her in.

it looks good for the Aoyagis 👍

so… Kanade:

lost her mother when she was young

had her father go comatose (and to her, it’s all her fault if he ended up like this)

and now she’s getting abused on top of it all

truly lucky. she’s totally doing well ← lies

Kanade’s very good at music and she already plays the piano, so that works out well for Harumichi.

Toya likes her a lot too, so he can… play into that to make sure his son stays obedient, you know? for funsies. make them BOTH suffer. (that’s where we get canon divergent - at least canon Harumichi is… trying, i guess)

i had the idea that only one of them manages to get out of this whole situation, and for this AU… it’s Kanade who stays behind. because that was how i could maximize the suffering and the psychological damage ✨

(Toya Tenma is a thing here. obviously. he goes to Tsukasa when he finally escapes this hell, and ends up living with him and Saki)

Kanade’s newly traumatized after all, and she feels guilty over it because she thinks it’s all her fault. so she thinks, "If I just do what I’m asked, then my music won’t hurt anyone again."

besides, she has a savior complex, so her I Want To Save People tendencies means she could view this situation as a "trading places" thing.

she’s not happy, she’s miserable, but it’s okay. she doesn’t deserve happiness; Toya does. that’s how she can make everyone happy.

except…

well, Toya’s obviously Not Happy. he feels incredibly guilty about it because holy shit, the Aoyagis are just doing the same thing they did to him to Kanade. but now, she’s… all alone.

they were suffering together before, at least.

SEKAIs are created from extremely strong feelings, so i think Kanade could make one in this situation.

it could either be like canon where eventually, 25ji is created, i guess, but i think it’d be funky if this was a shuffle AU thing, and Kanade / Toya ended up in the same unit.

(Kanade is like Mafuyu here; she needs saving, and Toya provides it. an interesting idea. i think.)

because, like… Kanade goes in the SEKAI to find comfort. but one day, she just thinks… she could stay there. she already wants to disappear in canon, so this whole mess would make it worse.

Miku finds Toya and she’s like "Please, can you help me? I dont know what to do :("

Toya goes for it because that might be his only chance to save Kanade.

Kanade just tries to get him to leave her alone but it’s not working, and she keeps trying to pretend like she’s okay but shes obviously not, and-

oh.

she starts crying.

and then she ends up bawling her eyes out in Toya’s arms because everything was just hell without him.

Toya just tells her that he’ll help her, that he got out of there, and that she can do the same thing.

and it just… it feels really nice.

it’s been so long since Kanade’s felt warmth.

[saitama-division]

“Yes these are VERY late but- I haven’t had time to deliver them at all”

Wrapped up in her warmest oversized hoodie a late night visitor appears at your door- it’s Kanade…with gifts.

For Sayaka- A mug that says worlds best mom along with a note

Hi mom, 

   I just wanted to say thank you. It’s…not easy for me to say this- especially after everything that happened when I was little. I wanted to just say that I’m so happy that your my new mom- and sometimes I know I can be a bit stubborn or do things that might scare you and sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve to call myself your kid or call Yoshi-chan my sister but- im learning to better myself everyday! 

I think I’ve already said thank you a bit too much but at the same time i can’t say it enough.

Thank you for being a kind mother- you mean the world to both big sis and I.

love Kanade

For Lola- A bracelet with pink and white diamond butterflies and a note.

Dear Lola

       Big sis says hi! I didn’t know what to get you at first- Lana suggested clothes but you already have so many cool clothes and you already look awesome without makeup so that’s out. 

So I settled on something that would be perfect with just about any outfit! I really hope you like it- cause you’re one of my favorite people!

yours truly, Kanade

For Kureha- a brand new set of sketchbooks, pencils, pens, erasers, markers, rulers and some paint and paint brushes! Theres also a note!

Dear Kureha

        Big sis really helped me a lot when it came to getting you a gift! I knew what i wanted to get you…i just didn’t know all the names of the supplies because I’m not a super cool artist like you.

I hope you make something really cool with these- I already know that you will now that I think of it. Next to my big sis your one of the best artists out there! In fact you make the dude who painted starry night look like a big dummy- that’s how much talent you have.

sincerely Kanade. Ps: HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY 

For Yoshiko a huge squid plushie, a Mr spooky beanbag chair and a bag of gummies. Of course there’s a note.

Hi Yoshiko!

      It’s me- your sister, Kanade! Did you have a good Christmas? I’m sorry I’m a little late with the gifts but I hope you like them! I know you like plushies so I had to think really hard but I found a cute squid friend!

I also had a friend help me make the beanbag chair- your the only one in the world who has a Mr Spooky beanbag chair!

With love, Kanade

“It was a pretty hectic end of the year- i was in the hospital for a couple of days. Big sis had this really big art gallery, Itsuki’s getting married” Kanade gives a tired but happy smile “I even…i have a girlfriend now!”

She giggles 

“Happy new year- and thank you all for being there for me”

“Goodness, who could that be?” Wondered Sayaka as she lifted herself from her comfortable position on the couch. It was a few days after Christmas as well as Kureha’s birthday, the said girl was sitting on the reclining chair and scrolling through social media on her phone, Lola was visiting as well and was resting pretty on one side of the couch nursing a glass of wine, Yoshiko had long since been put to bed due to how dark it was outside. It was a relaxing day, no work or school or responsibilities, just a nice day to relax and spend time with family. Currently the Saitama team were chilling and conversing in the living room when the doorbell rang, Sayaka walked to the door and opened it to reveal the younger Alarie sister much to the older woman’s surprise.

“Kanade!” Sayaka beamed, happy to see her daughter. “What a surprise! Come in, come in!” She eagerly ushered the young girl into her home and helped her carry the presents (which she had just noticed she was carrying) into the living room where the rest of the team was. Lola and Kureha, although surprised to see Kanade, had each gave their respective hellos, Lola even giving the girl a hug. When presented with the gifts, the girls were pleasantly surprised and started to open them, Sayaka being the first to unravel her presents.

Sayaka giggled when holding the mug, despite the fact that she already has one, it still warmed her heart to receive such a wonderful gift. “Aw, thank you Kanade! I’ll make sure to use it!” She patted the younger girl’s head. When reading the note, Sayaka’s smile grew wider as she fought back against the tears welling up in her eyes, when she was finished, she brought the younger Alarie sister into a tight hug. “Oh sweetie, you don’t have to thank me, if anything I should be thanking you for being such a wonderful and precious girl, I know we have our ups and downs but that’s part of life, I knew what I was signing up for and I don’t regret a single thing, I may not be the best mother but I try to be. I love you and Lana, I want you to remember that.”

Lola grinned as she slipped on the bracelet and held her arm up to admire the jewelry in the lighting. “Darling, this is gorgeous! I absolutely love it and I know several outfits that will really make this beauty shine!” She winked and then picked up her own letter and read it. After reading it, she gave a squeal and wrapped the young girl up in a hug of her own, “You are just the sweetest thing!” She nuzzled her cheek against Kanade’s, squeezing her as if she was a life size teddy bear. “I’m honored to be your favorite but here’s a secret, you’re one of my favorite people too.” She giggled.

Kureha murmured in awe at the amount of art supplies she received, although she had gotten plenty from her birthday, it didn’t hurt to have more just in case, at least it will save her time and money taking trips to the crafts store. “Wow…thanks Kanade, this really helps.” She gave a small smile at the girl and then began to read her own letter, the smile growing larger. She gave a chuckle, “I don’t know about all that but thank you for your support, I’ll dedicate my next piece to you, I already figured out what it’s going to be.” She gave a secretive grin.

Sayaka clasped her hands together in joy and beamed, “Oh sweetheart, that’s such wonderful news! I’m so happy for you and Lana and Itsuki!“ Lola and Kureha nodded in agreement, “Hell yeah, honey! Oooh! Tell us! Who’s the lucky lady?” Lola gently elbowed her with a teasing grin, upon receiving her answer, she cheered. “Yes! I knew it! Oh you two will make such an adorable couple!” She squealed, Kureha gave a supportive smile and a thumbs up. Sayaka laughed and stood up, “Thank you for the gifts, hun, Yoshiko is asleep but I’ll give them to her in the morning, speaking of which, it’s way to late for you to be out, I’ll get the spare room set up.” She said, beginning to make her way up the stairs, leaving the other girls to converse and admire the gifts Kanade had brought them.

— Later, Next Day —

“HE’S SO CUTE!!!” The 4-year old squealed as she laid on the beanbag chair that was way larger than her tiny frame, hugging the chair close. As expected, Yoshiko loved the gifts her big sister Kanade had gotten her, the squid plushie added onto her ever growing collection and Sayaka decided that just this once she’ll let Yoshiko have the gummies before actually eating some food. Kureha and Kanade smiled as she watched while Sayaka and Lola cooed as the model recorded the whole thing on her phone, finding it too precious not to.

“Yoshi, what do we say?” Sayaka gently prompted her daughter and the little girl quickly got off her chair and ran towards Kanade, giving the girl the biggest hug her little arms can give, looking up at her big sister, amber eyes shining as she happily exclaimed. “Thank you, big sister!”

Thank you for the gift!

[idolshineitai]

okay im gonna type nonsense abt my tlt pjsekai au and youre going to listen bc im having a moment and i deserve it

i mostly forgo the band / music / rhythm elements here and Just leave us with the SEKAI and miku. ok?

so. harrow as mafuyu, alecto as miku(!), gideon as. the rest of 25ji but only like, functionally. you could maybe technically place her as kanade bc she takes that involved role w mafuyu.

this really needs a lot more exposition than i have the energy to type damn. ok well. the girls are in high school. mafuyu has a shitty fucking home life and her entire story (her band's entire story!) is all about how. they make music together online but then she starts acting Fucking Weird and. well to put it plainly she's gonna kill herself. if she can't find "it". a sense of self, something worth sticking around for, the feelings she's missing. she ends up with a SEKAI, which is this fuckinf. dimension built on her garbage feelings, and Hatsune Miku is there. ♡ because. she just is ok.

for HARROW. i think itd make a lot of fucking sense if alecto was her miku. its a pretty nice 1:1 of... humanoid girlthing prevents you from Fucking Dying. and harrow's SEKAI would definitely mirror the tomb.

the rules when it comes to SEKAI are fucking nebulous but mafuyu spends a lot of time there voluntarily and kind of disappears from the real world, leading to her bandmates getting concerned. AND miku starts showing up to KANADE, asking her to help or else mafuyu is gonna disappear for good.

for harrow this probably translates to much of the same but alecto reaches out to gideon. i imagine much like canon harrow she starts leaning on alecto a lot for comfort when alecto is available, and like... accessing this space willingly and frequently.

with kanade, when miku contacts her, she falls asleep at her desk and (temporarily) mistakes it for a dream SO those are kind of the rules i'm going with here. to the viewer, harrow's just. fuckinf. spacey as all hell. Which is unusual (when it comes to school) so ofc gideon has to pester the fuck out of her for it.

i havent decided how this shit ends in what im writing but in CANON kanade is able to accompany mafuyu into her SEKAI, attempt to reason with her, fail really hard and repeatedly, but . eventually they get through and she doesnt kill herself yippee woohoo yaya

[sleep-deprived-luka]

In the Mizuena Story Ena comes across the Others multiple times (since the entire plot is about crossing the line between human and others) and I've been trying to give each encounter some form of unique flair, adjusting the prose or working on some interesting forms of distortion.

Ones I'm satisfied with are Teto and the crows. Teto who invites Ena in a dance and having a fun little talk, before leaving Ena exhausted and confused. Talking about how fun the days of the others mixing with humans are, but how they'll always end. The crows who solely talk in ellipses, moving as one large mocking body of glimmering obsidian.

The ones I'm not so fond of, or at least have to work on are, Oliver the cat (There's one scene where Ena tries to interact with him, but small frightened Oliver hisses at her. Erm bla bla rejection of the other), Internet co. (Ena gets suddenly lost in the woods during training, Gumi and some others randomly appear and help her out, with the additional warning that she should leave Mizuki (so homophobic of them :/)), Rui (He's one of the last hurdles, going "Oh me and Mizuki are like Other Others, not fun. You prolly shouldn't associate with us" just, I like writing Ruis dubious hut and the idea of Mizurui angsty "We are children of Chaos" musings makes me go tihi, but I haven't wrote enough of that), Kanade (Homegirl deserves a Ghostbusting chapter, but atm the best I can give is "Wow there's this weirdly beautiful music playing at night, sure hope it's not a ghost or something" ) and prolly some more I can't say from the top of my head lmao.

Most interactions just have the goal of portraying the idea of "Noo, don't interact with us, you're like, privileged or something" almost always followed by Ena ignoring or forgetting the warnings, cuz her only comfort is from the other (rejected heir and all) Basically the common Mizuena chase theming lmao, but I get weird about the themes of sanctity/purity

I could put that to Contrast to the Shizuai plot, where the opposite of Enas theming happens. Instead of a human finding comfort in the Other, it's the inverse with a Other finding comfort in humans.

But instead of sanctity it's domestication and wilderness I explore lmao. Still there are scenes where Airi loses her wilderness, her lynx self and those are fun to explore and the prose in that one is genuinely my favorite part (I used several methods to somewhat describe the transition from lynx to hound to Airi for example by replacing names with animals and then status (If things go as intended Airi won't mention any name before finding equal grounds with Shizuku) It's really fun to figure out animalistic imagery and then the roles of society, all while considering Airis current mindset (Standoffish and all High and mighty to confused, ashamed and deminishing) that stuff plays into my interest lmao)

Still that story heavily relies on me expressing that transition from Airis Pov. Mizuena is mostly interaction based, so I chuck Ena into a room of weirdos and get some dialogue out of it. Her Pov only has some interesting points, like a more painterly prose for descriptions, but nothing that is really beyond the average Pov type. Maybe I could add some more flair to her Pov, but the Character struggle is too external to be worth it :P

This is an incredibly unfocused ramble lmao, well I'm tired so that's that.

Platinum End manga finale

**SPOILERS**

Okie... so I have a lot of thoughts on this, and little to no clue on how to string them together, but so be it.

Alrighty, first and foremost, insane concept and yet somehow so thoroughly developed? But what else did we expect from the legendary duo who brought us "Death Note", Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. Twice now they have thought of God, and decided to test his limits and explore what sort of entity He truly is. And, of course, how He (of course capital H, this is God we're speaking bout here) came to be to begin with. And what better a concept than god candidates?

There were so many points throughout the story where they could have left it underdeveloped, failing to explain how everything came to be. They could have just decided to leave "God is an entity that ordered angels to choose His predecessor" and left it at that. But no, we must give motivation to the angels as well and question the existence of God as a whole.

The angels in this manga could have easily been just some random side characters whose only person was to give the candidates arrows and wings, but instead, they were each given a unique trait and given a motivation for why they believe their candidate should win. Nasse was special rank, who's known for her innocence. She only wishes for Mirai to find happiness, and she believes him becoming God is the solution to that. Revel is originally a second-rank angel of trickery that is promoted to first-place, and while he seems to only want Saki to win at first simply for the glory, he soon begins to feel empathy for Saki when she is left behind on multiple occasions, and becomes the first angel to shed tears, becoming the angel of emotion. Balta simply followed his intuition for the best outcome; Meyza yearned for power; Muni wished for the downfall of all creation; Baret seems impartial, but shares her seemingly infinite wisdom and knowledge with Mukaido; Penema was interested in the game itself, much like his chosen candidate Susumu; Ogaro is knowledgeable in the astral plane and seems to only want peace.

The candidates themselves also had unique personalities and motivations, as well as random strangers pierced by the red arrows. Mirai wishes for all of humanity to lead happy lives and values all life; Saki has similar goals to Mirai once she learns to embrace life herself; Yuri only wants wealth so she may live comfortably, Nakaumi wants for everyone who wishes to to die without scorn; Yoneda wants to unearth the mysteries of the universe; Susumu wants to play; Mukaido wants his family to be taken care of once he is gone; Kanade wants for everyone to be rich, and be rid of the poor, in fear of them corrupting the innocent like his dear sister; Hajime only wants to be accepted by society; and of course we have minor characters, such as Chiyo (the young girl) who wants to resume living peacefully, and Tonma who feels his lust for women.

I think though, that the more intriguing characters lay in those affected by the red arrows. Rea was such a sweet and innocent girl who didn't deserve the wrath of her brother's fears, and reminds me quite a bit of Nasse. Minamikawa used to only be interested in the archery club girls, until he realized his friend was involved in the God selection process; Kohinata was intriguing for her brief appearance alongside the battle with Kanade, researching viruses and infections that could determine the result of the entire war; Hoshi and Yumiki, two lovers working as detectives who despite everything still saw the humanity in the god candidates; my personal favourite, Mimi, the escaped convict responsible for the deaths of several high school girls. It was refreshing (for lack of a better word) to have a character like her, so young and the vision of a kawaii girl, it was odd to realize she was a murderer.

Alright, now for the ending... what the fuck.

Great, so Nakaumi won the competition and became God. Unanticipated, but doesn't particularly bother me. Then he gets emerged in some random ass teenage body and sits in a little loop-de-loop in what I presume to be Heaven. Then Ogaro explains to us foolish readers not exactly well versed with the cosmos and the way of the gods that they must wait for Nakaumi to completely incorporate with God, which would take an unknown amount of time.

During this time, we're lucky enough to see our characters become happy in their futures. Mirai and Saki get married and own a flower shop; Yoneda finally gets to work on his projects in his laboratory, still equipped with the red arrows, and employs Yuri, who is payed swimmingly and seems to strike a chord in his heart; even Shuji's brother makes an appearance, and he seems content with his life now.

...then shit hits the fan. Of course Revel and Nasse are watching all this, and Nasse concludes that her work is done as Mirai has found happiness in his life. Yippee! But wait... Nasse's not an angel. Well, no, she is, but she's also the original living organism to exist in the galaxy. God is unaware as to whether she created him, or he created her. Okay... weird, but we can get behind this, and apparently she unknowingly has the power to possess godlike abilities if she were to figure out how. Cool!

We know, right! We get to further explore Nasse's character, maybe she'll find out one day and do everything she can do make Mirai even happier with his life again... no. God kills himself out of boredom? "Shittttt, I gotta sit around and do nothing all day? There's seriously nothing for me to do? I can't even kill these suicidal people like Nakaumi wanted because they're already killing themselves." So yeah, bye bye God, bye bye universe. Before that though he summoned the first-rank angels to him. Why? Did he want them to die together? But don't invite Nasse and Muni, they're unwanted. Okay bitch.

Nasse's content with disappearing, Muni wanted this to begin with, and Ogaro's pissed at himself for looking away for literally one second. So yeah, humanity dies because God became bored, and everything blinks out of existence. But hey, at least Yoneda got the answer he was searching for, ALTHOUGH WE NEVER GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT WAS
