TAKI MENTIONED 🎉

TAKI SIGHTED 🎉

TAKI HAS A FRIEND 🎉🥳🙌🎊

[souenkun]

I never stopped wondering why natori thought that gifting a happily-married woman a bouquet of roses in exchange of borrowing her adopted son for a weekend trip was the correct course of action 😭

[rococo-sonata]

i digged up in my notes and guess what

Kunikida HEADCANONS ☆📗 part 2!!! + some other characters at the end!!!

- he absolutly hates having his hair down and having his bangs in front of his face like in the oav so he put heavy amont of hair gel that makes his hair feel kinda like cardboard

- he was a troublemaker as a kid

- he's cisgender in a very transgender way. he considers himself a boy only because he was born as one and never really thought about it or feel any connexion to it despite having a schlong. like he's kinda gender apathetic

- it's not a rat tail!!! it's some sort of weird jellyfish haircut he only ties the lower layer and use way too much hair gel

- during his earlier years at the agency he used to have depressive episodes, where he forgot his ideals and bedrotted for days. now he feels so awful about it that he doesn't allow himself to take such breaks

- he likes poetry, mostly romanticism and naturalism. he sometimes writes some himself and has a notebook for it. Dazai found it and thinks his writing style is cringe and corny (he's kinda right...)

- he has a weird laugh, like an ugly one but it's cute

- once he came up with a schedule for katai and katai didn't even look at it

now just random dump of silly hcs i made up about the cast

- atsushi climbs the stairs on all four (even outside...)

- when someone shows him a silly video of a cat falling he takes it personally and answer something like "IT'S NOT FUNNY!! HE HURT HIMSELF😡"

- the type of guy to bite his nails until it bleed and peel the skin of his lips and kunikida swats his hand when he does

- fukuchi always has a favorite in the hunting dogs, sometimes it's tachihara, sometimes teruko, sometimes jouno but it's never tecchou. they're all kinda his children and tecchou is the least favorite💔

- he got fangs like a cat. he's literally just a big cat

- tachihara saw fukuchi as a father figure. he used to admire him a lot and think he was super cool so he sometimes copied his posture or mannerisms. im saying that bcs of this artwork! like look he's literally copying him they're so cute😭

so imagine how absolutly disappointed he was when he learnt he was kamui.. and when the man he kinda saw like his dad stabbed his eyes... :/ womp womp

- jouno believes he is the most beautiful mesmerizing creature to have ever blessed this planet

- natsume is trans!!! he's a calico cat!!! calico cats are at 99.9% females!!! NATSUME IS AFAB

- he's katai's dad. don't ask me why it's just that scene where he shows up at katai's house they got such a cute dynamic he's his father in my head

- ango got the worst eye correction ever. probably has bifocal glasses for staying on his computer for so long

- kyu does age regression, because this is NOT a 13 years old

- katai is an avid reddit user. he is not the same person online his digital footprint is ass

- he needs to change his glasses but would rather see all blurry than go outside and see an optician

- i feel like he would love shoujo and slice of life anime that are girl lead like k-on, lucky star, nichijou or azumanga daioh. but not in a weird way. he would envy feminity, how in touch with their own feelings they are, and women frienship and intimacy, he wishes he could experience that too

- he loves cats and wishes he could adopt one but he knows that he wouldn't be able to take care of it in his state and would probably forget to feed it

༻Zipping up a dress/shirt trope (unit leaders + Wataru)༺

Characters: Madara Mikejima, Rei Sakuma, Wataru Hibiki, Keito Hasumi, Rinne Amagi, Shu Itsuki, Chiaki Morisawa, Nagisa Ran, Natsume Sakasaki and Eichi Tenshouin

Cw: suggestive, tbh just detailed backstories (in some cases) before the actual trope of the characters helping reader with their zipper, maybe ooc characters(?), wataru and rinne doing the opposite of this post, (long post 😭) Malice Mizer reference goes hard in Shu’s part 🤭, almost forgot to tag Natsume’s pet name for the reader (kitten) as a warning help-

A/n: hi guys! Sorry for the long break i had on tumblr 😭 kinda lost motivation to post but i’ll try to keep doing this throughout summer vacations now that i have time for it so..yeah! The making out + hcs posts will continue and there’s about 4 left ;i have also received some requests so stay tuned!! (Edit) I FORGOT WATARU ISNT A UNIT LEADER HELP MEEE i mean theres the Träumerei temporary unit in which he was the leader of but still 😭

"Hey babe, can you help me out with this zipper? I can't seem to reach it"

Madara Mikejima

One to always refuse taking you to his ‘missions’. Obviously, he knows some of these missions could cost his life, and taking you to one and for something to possibly happen to you, makes his heart shatter. But, tonight was his lucky day, your 2nd aniversary. Madara had booked a reservation in one of your favorite places. He entered the room with his usual smile, holding your waist before zipping your outfit, kissing your neck

“It looks good, though I think it’d look better on my floor”

Rei Sakuma

You were both running a tad early to one of his concerts in the city, but of course, getting there is all it matters. As soon as he heard you, he went to the other room of his dressing room, lets say a complementary room for it, but anyways; his smile was the highlight of your day, he didn’t mind helping you out, after all, Rei loved it when you trust him in simple things like this. When he finished, he quickly gave you a kiss before speaking

“I’ll always be here whenever you need me to”

Wataru Hibiki

He’s very helpful, well, at most times. He likes to be playful mostly when you need help, in cases were it wasn’t serious, but in this one, he simply smiled as he went towards you and started unzipping the dress

“Uh Wataru? I said i needed help with zipping it..not..the opposite..”

Wataru simply laughed and zipped it, letting you admire yourself for a bit as he wrapped his arms around you

“I couldn’t resist~! You’re just so perfect, I prefer seeing you without it. Your body is a masterpiece, I can’t help but admire it”

Keito Hasumi

He simply goes towards you and helps you out. He’s really not interested in anything else so your attempts to “seduce” him are not going to work so easily. Keito is a very reserved man and doesn’t get bothered at ‘insignificant things’, or does he? This time however, as he made his way towards you, your outfit caught him off guard, it was the one you had worn during your first date after being together for 3 years, he felt himself tear up as he looked at you

“You always look so beautiful in whatever you choose, even without it, your beauty never ceases to amaze me”

Rinne Amagi

Somewhat similar to Wataru’s except…well he’s Rinne, what do you expect? He had suggested a date for all his hard work with Crazy B and the tough week they’ve had, of course, he reserved a decent restaurant down the street, nothing too formal, but still enough to impress. While you were having trouble with the zipper of your clothes, he decided to approach you after your “cry for help” which was just a simple statement for assistance, as Rinne entered the room, he whistled, checking you out and hastily unzipping your outfit

“Rinne..! I said i needed help zipping it, not unzipping and taking it off my body..”

He all but chuckled as he turned you around

“Who said anything about going out? Actually, i might cancel or we do have a bit of time before it, no? I seriously cannot resist you a minute longer, c’mon~! Let’s have some fun, okay?”

Shu Itsuki

He’s used to helping you get into anything he crafts, whether its a dress or a shirt he made thinking about you, he’s used to helping you put your outfits on if they require assistance. This was one of those days where Shu had finished another beautiful creation of his and decided to lend you a hand, zipping it carefully and taking one look in the mirror as he saw you admire yourself once more

“It’s absolutely perfect, you’re perfect. I feel honored having you wear the artworks I’ve created for you..ma chérie”

Chiaki Morisawa

He’s so sweet and helps you even when you don’t require any assistance, he’s just like that. A charming and caring boyfriend like Chiaki always makes sure you’re well, in every aspect. So it’s not rare for him to help you always, this time, when he heard you, he was just around the corner, rushing softly to your shared room and smiling as he saw the outfit, it was one of his favorites. Chiaki placed his hands on your shoulders after helping you out and spoke

“Look! We match! Isn’t that cute? We should get going for our date before it gets late!”

Nagisa Ran

Used to formal attire that requires assistance, especially from their loving partner who Nagisa loves seeing them in such outfits; like today. Nagisa had a rather important event with Eden, and he was allowed to bring a plus one, like usual, and of course he always brings his partner to these. After hearing your call for assistance, Ran didn’t hesitate to go to your shared room, taking in the beautiful outfit you wore as he smiled brightly

“Of course my dear, anything you need me to do..I’ll help you. How about we go for dinner after the event? I’ll make sure to reserve us a nice table ahead”

Natsume Sakasaki

Even though he’s somewhat always focused on his potions and magic stuff, and his unit, Switch on top of that, Natsume cherishes every moment of your relationship to the max, although he would never admit that out loud that is. You’re his comfort zone, his one person to go to whenever he’s feeling down, happy, or anything out of the ordinary. However, it’s not usual for you to request his help, when he entered your room, his flirtatious persona became into a nervous one, the outfit you wore was absolutely stunning, accentuating your features and leaving him breathless. He tried keeping his calm and helped you, thats what he came for after all right?

“Natsume are you alright? You look a bit red..”

He smiled, nodding as he rested a hand on your waist, sighing happily before speaking

“Of course kitten, why wouldn’t I be? It’s nice to see you getting arranged for our date today”

Eichi Tenshouin

Being heir to a very prosperous family and head of the student council had its moments where Eichi was overloaded with tons of responsibility and work. Sometimes getting very sick due to his condition, and he’s glad to have met someone like you to complement his life so positivity. Events like family dinners or special events in general are usual to him, especially with helping you put on one of the many outfits he had bought you for dates or anniversary gifts, even birthday ones. Today was like those other days where you would have romantic dinners or went to an important event. Eichi smiled as he entered his room, watching you struggle a bit with the outfit he had bought you, without thinking twice, he approached you softly, his hands on your back, zipping the outfit slowly. After he was done, Eichi smiled, a genuine one for the first time in a while, as he spoke

“I’m glad to see you ready, shall we get going?”

[indulginginbeauty]

I’ve started the outline for the Modern/Medium Wei Ying AU that won the poll as my next fic (bunny fic is not done but we are getting closer everyday and I want to prep the next work so its ready to start being written when the time comes) but I cannot think of a name for it. 😭

It’s not a direct AU of any series. It is inspired by: XXXholic (biggest influence) Dandadan (mostly a tone thing, its going to be humor like Dandadan) Natsume’s Book of Friends (Less so than the others but a little) but there are plot elements inspired by a dozen other works too, so its not one to one.

The Premise is this:

Wei Ying starts being able to see ghosts at a young age but his abilities grow over time and become more disruptive of his life as he gets older. When he starts college the issue worsens more than ever before and he finds out another student at his college (Lan Zhan) is from an old cultivator family that still lives the old ways. Wei Ying notices that whenever he is around the ghosts disappear, so he starts trying to spend more time with him. Unfortunately, Lan Zhan seems to hate him, so Wei Ying has to try to win him over.

-

There will be some ghost investigating but it is primarily a romance and humor story looking at Wei Ying’s chaotic life with spirits everywhere and finding out what he can do about it.

Does anyone have a name suggestion? Because I am stumped 😞

[plinko-mori]

My favourite work from Rintarou Mori was Vita Sexualis. Now (since a long time ago lol) it is Moso <3 in Spanish it is translated as «Ilusiones» that literally means «Illusions» and in some contexts it can mean «Fantasies» I don't know how the work is called officially in English though I'm so sorry

So for everyone to have context about why Mori wrote it, there was this opinion that Rintarou hated and it said something like: ”Japan is a backward, poor and dirty county, plagued by diseases and dominated by barbaric customs, which indiscriminately imported Western customs and techniqued that weakened it, and whose esteemed culture was devastated by the Japanese themselves“. And Rintarou Mori, an author known for not knowing when to shut up, not because he spoke too much, but because when he sees something that he doesn't like, he speaks so freely about it and Natsume knows about it lol

In this short work from 1911, Mori explains his reasons of why that statement is absolutely incorrect, and there's a quote that I love a lot"

“From the time I was born until today, what have I done. I study relentlessly as if someone is whipping me, whipping me constantly. I think I do it to develop myself, to be able to fulfil a task. Maybe a part of this goal can be fulfilled. But it seems to me that what I do is nothing more than playing, like an actor, a role on stage. I feel that beyond the role I play, there must be something more. I feel that I am constantly being whipped and stimulated, so that I have no time to let go. The child who studies, the young man who studies, the civil servant who studies, they all play a role. One day I'll wash my face painted in red and black and get off the stage. I wish to think of myself calmly and see how it is something behind. With these thoughts I continue to play role after role, while the stage manager whips my back. I am sure that this performance is not life. I sense that the something that is behind me is nodding off again and falling asleep. Lately I feel nostalgic for my people; I am like the grasses that float and move with the waves in the distance and continue their undulating movement, and sometimes with the shaking they tremble to the roots, and this does not correspond to the role I play on stage. But this feeling, as soon as I raise my head, is erased”

Mori you wanted to defend your idea why were you doing a conclusion of you being a slave of your own thoughts, reputation and the standards with what people (specially your parents) expected from you also WHY IS THAT SO RELATABLE

The author is so human, traumatized and very much autistic, but it's so realistic and relatable... I don't know if I have analyzed the quote here before, if I have done it I'm so sorry 😭

Anyway Mori and samurais were topics extremely connected. His mother was a descendant of samurais, black is a colour associated with them and to weddings, being seen as a masculine colour in Japan. On the other hand, red in Japan is associated with peace, prosperity of family and even justice only in Kabuki Theater performances!

Kabuki is a genre of traditional Japanese theater, dating all the way back to the Edo Period (1603-1867)

The quote I shared is like less than 4 pages to the end of the work. It helps for reflexion and is one of the few times that the author opens his heart to the reader, where he shares things, but he's doing his maximum effor to show that Japanese and his people aren't weak... Although, it's almost obvious (at least for me) that deep in the inside he's not as strong as he claims to be, he can also be vulnerable, but he can't go back anymore because he already started walking that way to being an author, a doctor, a strong person that not only people hated but even felt afraid of Mori!

Unlike Vita Sexualis, Ilusiones is not a semi-autobiography, it's not a novel or a long book... But it's so deep, so emotional in some parts that at least I felt connected to the author when I read it. Mori's purpose is for you to think like him, to see his point, and he knows how to make sense to people that it can be shocking reading his works

Do you see any of this in BSD? I do. But what about you all?

[mamadarama]

IM SO SORRY IKEEP ACCIDNENTANLY UNFOLLOWIGN U BC THE ASK BUTTON IS NEXT TO IT 😭😭😭 i love ur content so MUCH i would NEVER unfollow on purpose omgg 😭

also anyways imjust wonderign , have u ever thought abt what would happen if yumenosaki didnt exisr inthe first place ???? like. what if they all jsut go live normal lives. or maybe if any of the major events in tthe storyline never happened. cause youre so amazing at analyzing stuff so id realllyyyyy like 2 hear ur thoughts <333 THAMKYOU!!!!! have a nice day :DD

OHH LOL OK i was like hey didnt this person follow me the other day? ive done that before too

i have thought abt that!!! i think some of them would still end up being idol adjacent? also a lot of characters grew up in the same area so they might end up going to the same school or smth anyways so theyd still know each other.

wataru is a stage/movie actor and eichi buys vip seats to all his shows until he notices him . kanata and kaoru are both marine biologists. madara is still exiled and starts traveling doing god knows what, but comes home to japan sooner than he wouldve if eichi didnt stall him during the war. in japan he continues to do god knows what. odd jobs and the like. chiaki and kanata still meet and kanata is saved from the cult. chiaki might go on to become a professional basketball player? izumi and makoto dont have a falling out bc the war never caused leo to break down, so izumi doesnt get paranoid for makotos safety. both of them along with arashi are models and leo is still a composer. arashi would also be a divorce attorney purely on the basis that i think she would be really good at it. rei retains most of his 2nd yr personality and simply mellows out a little instead of acting like an old man, and his friendship with keito wouldnt fall apart. keito is a mangaka and a teacher. hes trying to keep those identities separate but who knows how long thatll last. koga and rei still form deadmanz but keito wouldnt join. instead theyd be a duo unit until koga invites adonis to join, and this time adonis actually gets the chance to since deadmanz wont disband before koga can invite him. kaoru might join later, but its more of a hobby and his primary goal is still taking over and carrying on his mothers research. he works at kanatas aquarium. adonis is a park ranger. i think souma would be a teacher. either biology or a weapons class, or both. kuro and shu are both fashion designers but kuro would specialize in costumes and shu would do mostly high fashion lines for runways. kuro also does wrestling, he intended for it to be just a hobby but he ended up being a fan favorite so now hes better known for that than he is for his costume work. mika is shus apprentice still. hiyori is dawdling and unsure of what he wants to do, but in the meantime hes busying himself with making youtube videos (think jenna marbles). he still meets jun in school. jun is a streamer but he also has a fitness blog and works part time as a personal trainer. pretty average life but with the added bonus that he lives with hiyori, so he doesnt have to worry about money as much. nagisa is a geologist and historian. he works at a museum, thats about it. he still stayed with hiyori until he was adopted by his current family. ibara is the ceo of some company. yuzuru is toris butler still and tori is learning what he needs to do as his family's heir. tsukasa is doing the same. yuzuru and ibara dont meet again after ibara leaves the military facility. ritsu is a professional pianist, hes known for theming his performances around his vampire thing and playing creepy organ music, except on a piano. mao is a freelance photographer and a tutor. makoto continues to be a model, but also does gamedev and photography on the side. he also streams with jun and natsume and has a radio show with the rest of trickstar. anzu would still get transferred to whatever all boys school trickstar is going to, but instead of being trickstars producer shes just part of their friend group and theres no war. switch exists as a magic act, performing at events and whatnot. tsumugi also has his own fortune telling business and works as a librarian, and sora is a competitive gymnast. hajime is a botanist and works for the city managing public gardens. mitsuru became an olympic athlete. when nazuna graduated he went to college to do ...whatever it is hes doing. since there was no unit keeping them together, he was able to just stop talking to shu and they eventually drifted apart painlessly. tomoya and hokuto are actors. subaru is a solo idol. the twins street performances took off and they became a well known acrobatic duo. shinobu is a radio host and has a podcast where he talks about anime. tetora is a competitive martial artist. midori happily works as a vegetable farmer with his family.

rinne and niki live the same way they did before becoming idols, except niki has a cooking show. tsukasa secretly helps kohaku escape from his family and silently passes his allowance over to kohaku so he can live somewhere safe. as soon as he can he gets back into contact with aira. he lives alone like niki did when he was 14 and spends a lot of time in the library trying to homeschool himself. aira is still an idol fanatic but doesnt become an idol. hiiro goes to look for rinne, but rinne refuses to leave and hiiro goes home after making rinne promise hell still visit home sometimes. hiiro takes rinnes place as the next monarch. tatsumi and kaname still go to the same school but kaname never has the accident, so oremeru never abandons his identity and has no reason to hate tatsumi. tatsumi is learning to be a priest from his dad and will eventually take over as the pastor at his family's church. since es was never built on the same land as the ayase's bunker, mayoi would stay underground for longer. if he left at some point hed be a visual artist and submit his work to galleries. he probably wouldnt meet the rest of alkaloid, at least not right away.

so thats what i think would happen, more or less.

[treecakes]

i think that ultimately trying to figure out the passage of time in the natsume anime is like. physically not possible the setting of the seasons are in fact split fall/spring summer/winter in pairs which. does not equal logical passage of time and the anime messed up anyways and had natsume skip a year between seasons bc they messed up who was in what class 😭 the manga is also illogical because midorikawa draws him in whatever clothing she feels like so it’ll flip flop between seasons randomly. but he’s still in his 1st year of high school in the manga.

[kyouka-supremacy]

Hello!! I hope you're surviving this Terukoless week! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I love how you analyzed Teruko. For me, if I were Asagiri, I would've utilized a lot of real-life references --- at least the ones I heard of from @/velvetbyrne.

For example, she was tutored under Mr. Natsume Soseki. I would've found it interesting if, at some point on a Hunting Dogs mission, she feels as though there could be something more, as in, a beginning of healing. Not joining the ADA, but forming her own agency. But she limits herself, thinking she only knows of war. Perhaps she really likes fairy tales, not because of happy endings --- but because they end. War never ends.

I think she could be preluded (?) to by Ranpo, perhaps him and Edgar Allen Poe discussing good mystery books, and Ranpo says the only book that's been interesting to him was Iwata sisters, Iwata Yumi and Iwata Yuriko (pen names the real life author used under Mr. Natsume's tutorship). Ranpo was one of the big real life authors to review her work and say how it was psychological (if I understood correctly).

Additionally, the real life Ranpo thought she could be the "Japanese Agatha Christie", but she passed away before she could. So, if she does die in this chapter, I would've moved her death to meeting Agatha Christie, because it seems she's very powerful. And then it would heighten the stakes of losing to the Order of The Clock Tower.

So sorry this is so long but the ask you answered made me think alot^^ I also would've let her meet Naomi, and perhaps a hidden sadness that she never got to be a schoolgirl, since that's Naomi's character design. Perhaps she spares her for, 'innocence's sake'. However, I think she and Yosano would fight because Yosano says she's capable of making her own path, but really, truly the idea of being out of war would scare her so deeply, she says something like, 'What do you know? You were only a nurse, not one of the half-dead!'. Perhaps they knew each other from the war, even! Something like a SSKK or SKK rivalry DJDJD

I know Asagiri hasn't clarified if it's really her Funeral Chapter, but that's how I would go about it!

Have a good day/night, I'm so so so happy to see you're back! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)🫶🏾💨🩷

I love all of these so terribly much 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Please, take Teruko's writing in your hands.

I do recall reading about the irl author being a mystery writer, and in a detectives story like bsd is, I wish she was given special regard because of that, but alas. I especially like the comparison with Christie!!! I wish they were linked in the manga too. If the irl counterpart travelled to England… Then what if the character Teruko has met Christie at some point… Here's how more Teruko screentime can still happen through flashbacks (delusional).

But seriously, I love the concept of her founding her own kind of agency to no end ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡ And I'm OBSESSED with the possibilities of her interacting with Naomi, that's such a juicy aspect to explore. I really like the idea of a Teruko who's bitter over her lost childhood in general. Thank you so much for sharing all of this!!!!

[loveregrown]

(>_<。) tsumugi cares so much about this idea, of like, getting married and having an average, nuclear type of family that he genuinely truly cares for... this idea lives in his mind, definitely because of his childhood, full of neglect and abuse and bad parenting decisions which marked him forever. His fixation on having a wife (papamugi was mostly thought of as a single dad in my mind, but tobi said to draw natsume as his partner. It wouldnt hurt at all I think itll be cute. I think I like that.) considering his parents are divorced and we know nothing of his stepfather, always caring for younger people despite him being the youngest in his family, having been abandoned by his older brother who was likely desperate to leave such an environment, offering to be peoples "papa" (or "mama" even) more than once to separate people... I love tsumugi so much. and I think he would be happy with such a reality, or at least, really thinks he would be. And perhaps it'd be bad to indulge him in these things. and it would be difficult for him considering everything but God does he have so much love to give. But his child would be loved endlessly. I'd like to say his child would be spoiled, but I don't think so at all, actually. He's a pushover, but he seems to care about how kids develop. Even if it would be so embarrassing to be Tsumugi Aoba's child and Tsumugi would constantly fear becoming his mother and being absent and neglecting his child in one way or another, he would try ahh I'm sure he'd even work from home most of the time just to be less absent 😭😭😭 I could cry I could

[souenkun]

I think we as a society need to practice playing and listening through famous actor natori shuuichi's soundtrack, kirameite te gomen, for at least 1 time whenever we feel upset and down. The sheer power that this silly and whimsical soundtrack has at cracking me up the second that it is played needs to be utilized more for our times of need 😭

[natsmagi]

more on ntsmg being weirdos, we talk a lot abt natsume researching s&m but why does no one ever mention that tsumugi also knew abt it without Natsume having to explain?? 😭 cuz he was immediately like "oh s&m? so you were showing affection", he clearly knows in what context ppl do s&m......... thats so sus..... but also not surprising if im being honest....

THEYRE CRAZYYYYYYYYYY also tsumugi equating s&m to being shown affection truly goes to show whats going on inside that mans brain

i still really love the magic lantern conversation they had that was in a similar vein (except this time natsumes tied up) and just.

first of all. Obsessed with natsume turning this situation into something weird. he did not need to do that. you did not need to ask tsumugi if getting hit made him rock solid. Nor did you need to equate someone being good at binding things to "being hooked on questionable games," but the funniest part to me is tsumugi going "its not like ive had the time for questionable games anyway~" like Ok? so ur saying if u did have time then itd be a different story? UR NOT HELPING UR CASE!!!!!!

[bungoustraypups]

🎶😭👩‍💻 for the ask game

we need more snippet ask games OPEN

(for future reference if anyone sends in ask memes pls specify which one they came from cries im having a time going back n figuring out where these came from)

🎶 share a happy moment. ANY happy moment. You must have ONE.

from chapter 11 of dog days are over, AKA the wedding chapter

Ougai slides the ring onto Yukichi's finger, still trembling, but managing to do it in the first try anyway. As he looks back up at Yukichi, that bright, beaming smile appearing on his face once again, a matching smile spreads across Yukichi's face as well as they hear Natsume speak again: "And now, having proclaimed your love and commitment to one another in the eyes of these loved ones, and with the power vested in me, I am finally happy to pronounce you, husband and husband. You may kiss!" And though he says it, both Yukichi and Ougai stop listening after the official pronouncement, because they are only focused on each other at that moment. As soon as the words are spoken, Yukichi wraps his arms around Ougai's waist, then leans forward, pulls him close, and kisses him, deeply, passionately, barely noticing how the taste of salt from both of their happy tears mingles with the taste of his husband's- his husband's- lips, as he is only focused on this moment between them, on how Ougai's arms wrap around his shoulders, how his hands gently curl into Yukichi's hair. And nothing else matters to Yukichi and Ougai Fukuzawa, except for each other, and the beautiful promise of the life they are building, and have built, together.

😭 share a snippet that will break our hearts

i was tempted to do The Scene(TM) from dog days are over but i went with this snip instead! from the hateful eight chapter 2.4 - shed blood

Fumiko stands up, her legs wobbling as though she has forgotten how to use them since she's been sitting against the wall. As soon as he notices the dangerous tremble in her legs, Osamu rushes forward faster, gathering Fumiko in his arms as she collapses against him, wraps her arms around his midsection, and lets out a terrible, anguished wail. "He killed him, Pa!" She says in a choked sob, curling her hands into fists against his back as Osamu, too, squeezes her tight in a hug of comfort and protection both. "He killed him, he killed Kona!" Feeling his heart shattering into thousands of sharp, painful pieces, Osamu bites down hard on his lip to keep himself from crying for the time being, curling his upper body around Fumiko as he gently presses his hand to the back of her head, holding her close to his chest, threading his fingers through her fiery red hair. Bright red yew berries - sorrow, they whisper through her tears - and dark green leaves blossom all throughout her hair, but they lack the typical spiky exterior of their naturally-occurring wild brethren; Fumiko's ability can affect how the flowers and plants themselves grow, and Osamu has no doubt that's what's happening here. Even in her despair, she doesn't want to hurt someone she loves, and someone who loves her just as much. That is far more than Osamu can say about himself, at least. "I know, baby," Osamu finally murmurs to his daughter, still holding her close and tight. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." It's all he can do and say for the time being. He knows that, right now, nothing he does will be able to soothe the pain, anger, guilt, and sorrow within her, but he at least has to try. That is his job as her father, after all, and right now, she needs him to do it to the fullest more than ever before.

from next contestant, my most recent fic and fukumori oneshot

"Never seen you around here before," the voice of a stranger says. Since he has no impressions he needs to be making here, Ougai doesn't fight the urge to curl his lip, wrapping his fingers tightly around the glass of the drink Yukichi got for him a while ago. He doesn't drink much normally, especially not liquor or anything that's not dessert wine, but he figured it wouldn't be a problem for him to indulge just a little tonight. Hopefully, it doesn't end up working against him. "I don't make it a habit to visit places I dislike often." Hopefully the other man takes the hint from Ougai's tone and leaves him alone, but he can tell from the laughter which comes from him that it hasn't been noticed (or, if it has, it's been ignored). Noticing no visible change in the man's demeanor, Ougai adopts an even more unimpressed expression; if looks could kill, this stranger would be dead ten times over, but sadly for everyone involved, they cannot, and he remains breathing. If he wanted to, Ougai could very easily end this man's life, right here, right now, but considering he's out in a public bar far outside of Port Mafia-controlled territory, and therefore at risk of bringing unnecessary attention to himself and everyone associated with him (including his partner), that would be a foolish move, to say the least. In theory, he could also get Yukichi's attention fairly quickly if he wanted to, even without violence, but he's hesitant to do that. This was his idea, after all, and the last thing Ougai wants to do is make him feel guilty for a situation he had no control over to start with. Instead, he decides to take a more commonly used and less homicidally violent approach. His next words are tense, growled out from between his teeth: "I also don't make it a habit to speak to men in bars I'm unfamiliar with."

He’s always making some type of excuse to visit you whether its eating dinner together after his unit practices or having a movie night, he always enjoys your presence

Which is why Natsume gets happy by simply knowing he’s visiting your house, your own space of comfort.

If you happen to have pets (of any kind) he’s so sweet and caring with them, if they require any special treatments, he’s willing to learn how to properly tend to them so he can help you

Natsume bakes sweets to pass the time while you’re doing some chores (im which he does help out if you need any help of course), its a hobby he recently picked up

He’s not the type to brag about going to his s/o’s house but Natsume thinks about it the entire day, counting the hours until he gets to see you again

Natsume enjoys trying out new experiments and potions at your house, even if it ends up being a mess or an accidental one.

If you invite his unit mates for a movie or game night, he’s always by your side, despite him thinking Tsumugi is teasing him, he’s very supportive of your relationship with Natsume

i have so much things to say for the all of the enstars announcements,,,,

ok so first EACH CIRCLES WILL HAVE A MUSIC?? pretty 5 music,,, i'm so happy even tho pretty 5 is the only circle I remember lol

now the new group. i'm not completely disappointed but I was surprised (negative) when they revealed an all child units. like, I love some of the designs (fuyume and esu) but i would like them so much more if they were adults or like. 16-19. the youngest one is TWELVE. it's just me but i just dont like young or young looking character in a media where there's mostly adults or late-teens (I dont dislike them im just have a guaranteed bad first impression towards them but i can grow to like them like I did with tori) like ok esu is 16 but he doesn't look 16😭 he shouldve looked more like aira or kohaku who ARE 15/16 (tori doesn't look 17 either but that's why I didn't liked him at first)

apart from that my dream of yuki sakakihara in enstars has finally come true..... i didn't expect the character to be 12 tho

now my other dream was also realised : 2nd round of shuffle units!!!!!!! the new mv was. definitely NOT what I expected but i'm not disappointed. and the music is so good too!! i cant wait for the full version!!! and im very excited for the other units!!! (mayoi or souma 5* shuffle maybe???🤯🤯 i hope but also i don't bc i hate grinding events. esp since enstars jp STILL didn't add the basic feature that is AUTO MODE)

my dumbass did not understand one bit what was the whole 4 seasons subaru kanata natsume & nagisa thing 😭 does it have something to do with the audition story?? idk

so!!! that's it to my rant. i'm half happy half disappointed. now omw to complain to every single person I see about the new characters being KIDS!!

Mhm! I am also rooting for Meteor Impact to get animated bc G O D, but right now the signs are not pointing towards that one right now. Tbh Meteor Impact would be a good one to end on. And yeah, Marionette was in the original anime, but so was Rocket Start. And they also animated a part of RS (conversation between Wataru and Natsume) in the Element anime which is why I was (and still am tbh) leaning to Rocket Start potentially not getting animated. BUT I MUST BELIEVE.

Their climax story is literally an apology for sidelining Trickstar as protagonists so much in !! era, so they could start fixing that problem with RS anime and event ^_^

And yeah they absolutely get a bit sidelined and overshadowed by other units, though sometimes they do give them the favorite child treatment, emphasis on SOMETIMES. Xday, their climax story, for example was AMAZING especially when compared to other unit climax stories. But the rest of !! Trickstar? Ayayaya man... they fell off. Their entire problem throughout the !! era is about how much they fell off, how they're broke and how much ES hates them bc of their troublemaker reputation. They did basically nothing with that at all except for in their climax story (I mean Satellite is also like that but sssshh) where they teases that Trickstar's next arc is gonna be about them once again rebelling and potentially going independent! So I'm excited to see where they're headed in the future and what the actual arc is going to be like.

So imagine getting hit in the face by potential new idols. Goodbye😭

I didn't want new idols in the first place because it'll fuck with the rotation and HappyEle already does pretty poorly with balancing their characters already with focus and such.

But if these new idols end up taking up all the focus again when it looked like Xday was trying to lead to Trickstar making a comeback as the true protagonists, it just makes me sad. I'll stay hopeful until we got more info though, but it's looking bleak out here. Especially the rotation is looking bleak if these new characters are actually playable idols oml.

It really feels like it's gonna be like "hey so Subaru is our posterboy, but do we actually have any plans for him?"

"We do, but we're not gonna do any of that. He'll just stay our posterboy"

Like dude the papahoshi storyline is found dead in Miami, god help me out of here. First they tease he might be alive in Sanctuary which is like 2.5 years ago and then Xday was about gifting Subaru the gift of seeing his dad again through an old video showcasing what papahoshi was like as a dad and now... I can see myself waiting another 5 years. But that's typical for enstars. It's not like papahoshi is the whole reason anything happens here anyways. Not at all. Why would he. And why would his son be important to anything in the plot. Protagonist? No. Just my househusband.

possible rocket start anime announcement 🤝 possible meteor impact anime announcement

one of my friends passing out instantly at the announcement

ok i have not been keeping up with enstars at all but god the rotation would be so fucked. i like that they got some good content in their climax though!!!! honestly it does suck that the revolutionary group got sidelined a lot in !! and now we need !!! for more. and now we have a new idol group for it as well. the story is gonna take 8 years for 1 normal year at this rate

i had no idea any of this was happening. subaru's dad. i genuinely forget about him half the time because no development ever comes from it (that i've seen it's been a while) but do not worry. we have your new househusband/crush to draw more lore from. and another idol group. god help us
