#arisa shut up

[arisatumblesalong]

There is a new farmer in town. For a sleepy place like Mineral Valley, this is definitely exciting news.

The caption of Iori's Instagram story reads, “Welcoming the new farmer to the Valley today!” accompanied by the emojis of a female farmer and the sun. Mayor Hida has his back facing the camera, hands clasped behind him as he looks out for what Takeru assumes is the morning bus from The City. “Huh,” Takeru hums to himself. “A new farmer, hey?”

(Or: Takeru is an NPC in a cozy farming game. He observes and interacts with the new villager and main character, Farmer Yagami Hikari.)

A lot of proseka characters give me like cute aggression (?) like w/ Nene + Toya + Airi + Honami, I feel the need to squish them like marshmallows YK. But with Rui + Akito it's just straight up aggression like I need to bury them at the beach 💥

Nekoma Reaction: you cut your hair (Friends to Lovers)

Kuroo-

You came to class after a week of vacation and during that week you cut your hair which reached your waist and now reached your shoulders.

(_): Good morning Kuroo

Kuroo: good mor- WHAT HAPPENED!?

The boy started touching your hair and spinning around you in search of your long hair.

(_): I cut my hair, it was very long and damaged.

Your friend looked at you in the eyes surprised.

Kuroo: your beautiful hair

The boy pretended to cry while caressing your head.

Kuroo: It looks good on you, but I prefer your hair long.

You touched your hair uncertainly and looked into his eyes.

(_): It's okay I guess...

Kuroo started playing with your hair.

Kuroo: Dora, Where is backpack?

(_): holy god shut up

You hit Kuroo on the head as a joke and he acted dramatically.

Kenma-

It's been a few months since you last saw Kenma so you agreed to go out to a cat cafe.

(_):Hello kittyboy

Kenma turned to look at you and opened his eyes in surprise.

Kenma:you cut your hair

(_): Yes, does it look bad?

You started stroking your hair waiting for your friend to respond.

Kenma: Te queda bien, siempre te ves bien...

El chico susurró lo último, pero lo suficientemente fuerte como para que sólo tú lo oyeras.

(_): Thanks Kenma

Hug your friend very tightly, taking advantage of the fact that he was more affectionate than usual

Kenma: Did you cut your hair alone?

(_): No, I went to a hair salon

Kenma: Excellent

(_):What are you implying boy?

You and the boy then ordered coffee while petting the kittens.

Yaku-

You arrived at your friend's training sessions because you agreed to leave together that day, you had not seen each other even once that day.

(_): Yaku!

The boy looked where you were and started running towards you.

Yaku: Your hair!? did you cut it!?

(_): Yes, It was ugly and...

Look how your friend looked at you dumbfounded

Yaku: It looks beautiful on you, highlights your beauty more

You felt your cheeks turn red at the great attention your friend gave to your hair.

(_): It's normal

Yaku: Not just normal, short hair is the best on you

Look behind your friend and notice how his team was laughing at him while he was with you.

His love for short-haired girls was no secret.

Lev-

You were a friend of Arisa and also about Lev so you went to his house frequently but you didn't go for a month and Lev didn't know anything about you

Lev: Oh hello...

The boy looked at you up and down, searching for what was strange about you.

(_): Hello! Is Arisa?

Lev: Yes... He's in his room...I'm going to call her... Did you cut your hair?

(_): Oh that, yes but it doesn't matter

Lev: You look pretty

The boy turned around and shouted his sister's name to come see you.

Lev: you can come in

(_): Thanks Lev

You entered and sat on the couch waiting for your friend, you noticed how the boy looked at you a lot.

(_): All good? Do I have something wrong?

Lev: No, nothing

Lev just looked at you very carefully.

Arisa: Hello! Sorry for the delay, I couldn't find my lipstick.

(_): It doesn't matter

You were nervous because of the boy's gaze and you started to sweat a little, your friend noticed it and hit the boy in the head.

Arisa: You look like a pervert, you're going to eat her if you keep looking at her like that.

Lev: Hey! That hurt

The two began to argue lightly while you just watched.

This will take a little time

I'm going to do part 2 with the other Nekoma characters and maybe I'll do it with other teams ＼⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠／

I'm a yaku fan ╰⁠(⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠´⁠꒳⁠`⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠)⁠╯

[taesancult]

RIWOOOO >.< I feel like he loves being used sooo much like he rlly will do anything to make u feel good… overstimulated and everything he doesn’t care !!! !!OMGOMG and some praise while also being a lil condescending ? Oh it def makes him feel crazy

the way i was just talking to arisa about this,, are you in my walls or something?? no but seriously this is so real!! i accidentally popped off because this boy… he is so grrr bark bark omg

smut under the cut. mdni.

he’s just such a good boy.

the best sub anyone could ever ask for because he’s so willing to please. he gets off on the way your face fills with pride whenever he obeys you. if you want to use him, please, use him to your heart’s content and he’ll take all of it.

if you’ve had a hard day, one of those days where you just need an outlet for it all, he’ll be there for you. “are you sure?” you’d ask, hesitant because you didn’t want him to think you were taking advantage of his unconditional love. “please, use me. you can do whatever you like, let me make it better.” he’d smile at you, his sweet vampire fangs visible. hearing the words “use me” from him were more than enough to get you soaked.

he’d make you cum as much as you wanted, as much as you needed, so you can feel better. he’d smile as you ride him, your hips moving slower, but hitting deeper every time. his hands would be on your hips, not controlling your pace, though. the pace and everything else in that moment was under your control. he loves giving you control. “you like this, don’t you?” you would smile down at him as you gently put your hand on his throat. he nodded, looking at up with you with hearts in his eyes. you raised your eyebrow, wordlessly correcting his lack of verbal response. “i love when you use me. makes me feel so loved.” he’d whisper out. you’d smile before saying, “my sweet baby boy, you were made to please me, huh?” he would beam and nod his head enthusiastically, his cock twitching inside you from the vulgar words. “you like that? when i make you feel like you’re only purpose is to be mine? you’re so good.” you would continue to condescendingly praise him. his head would be thrown back, his eyes tightly shut as his hands would grip your hips so hard as he felt his orgasm build up…

you would overstimulate him, make a mess of him. he’d be on the brink of tears, his body physically unable to give you more, but still so willing. he’s truly the picture perfect definition of a good boy <3

[hecate-spawn]

I have hate in my heart and all of it is for Arisa Higure. Girl shut your bitch ass up and worry about your own fuck ass group

Shout out to Mariana tho hope she gets an L2D

[chibigaia-art]

btw thanks to a friend that was so kind to lend me her rain code copy (tysm arisa if you see this) I've been able to play it - im currently on the mystery labyrinth of ch2, so here's some impressions of the game under the cut (mind the spoilers) (and also dont send spoilers ty)

Love the visuals of the game! I think the 3d is implemented really well and the setting of Kanai Ward is really fun - I just wish there was a pc port because the switch hardware is just. man. I wish I could see everything in HD instead of 380p but it might just be the switch lite lmao

I like shinigami's magical esque's sequences I just hate that they reduced the utena reference to another sex joke. cant have shit in kanai ward

speaking of references, I do like the danganronpa easter eggs but I liked the ace attorney stepladder one even more

I also really like shinigami I just wish she would shut up sometimes

same with desuhiko lmao

prologue was the strongest part of the game so far, MAYBE because it is reminescent of the 'locked place' murders in dr, maybe because everyone gets wasted, i dunno, it was just really fun

ch1 completely lacked what I'd call the emotional component that usually makes games like AA and DR stand out to me - ie I don't have any strong attachment to the victim or the accused, so I feel like I'm just solving puzzles. the puzzle part was still fun tho, and Halara is a great character

ch2 kinda fixed that emotional component with the girl-I-cant-remember-her-name-sorry that you spend time with before the second murder happens

ch2 also felt really fun from a campy perspective, with the disguise stuff going on!! (I do wish shinigami would stop calling yuma a pervert for trying to investigate a murder while dressed as a girl tho)

I do like chief yakou, he's cool in that very pathetic sad man kinda way

I really really love the sprite work, it's SO fun to look at the character's expressions,,, I also love desuhiko's goofy design, it's so fun

you can really feel the budget behind this one, unlike WEC that was just,,, a pain both gameplay wise and story wise, unfortunately 😔 I'm still sad it didnt turn out as good as I wanted it to be

anyway ive been having fun so far so I look forward to keep playing it

[toranekooo]

“hey, arisa-chan. i love you.”

“shut up, idiot. (i love you too.)”

➷ reblog + credit if using / saving. gift for @lxpmon

[posebean]

Sometimes I remember that Ken legit told Aizou that he had been wanting to tell Arisa that they’re siblings since he wants to marry her and I go into tears <3333

I THINK ABOUT TOO I THINK ABOUT THAT SO MUCHHH

one (1) good thing to come out of herot*ru

also technically arisa already knows!!! (thank u hanipre. ily. u will be missed) its silly and they clowned on ken when they were interacting in that one story but weeps i need more arisa aizou interaction sobs like its all aizou watching ken change and how arisa is like one of the girls he doesn't mind because he can see how much his brother has grown

sorry anon im going to drag samishigariya into here (would they be samishigariya quartet? shibasaki family?? idk but they make me so :))) ) ill put it under read more but youve just unlocked my deep samishigariya quartet feelings again

samishigariya is both brothers lore, going over how they were close, grew apart, and then see how one person changed the other

honeyworks is seriouslly sleeping on prime content that i would devour whole and especially now that hanipre is shutting down there's even less of a chance for them to interact and have more core character development </3

but i REALLY love the potential in dynamics between all four of them ( Ken, Aizou, Arisa, Yujiro((+kuro and YUJIRO KITTY. YUJIRO KITTY BECOME REAL))

i guess this is why i really love the roleswap me and lisi concocted, and u can kinda see it as a recurring topic in my fics haha but i just think they'll all get along really well

like here are the canon relationships established by haniwa:

Aizou and Ken: two brothers that used to be close, fell apart because of their family falling apart, have been slowly piecing their bond back bit by bit

Ken and Arisa: two people that never thought they would fall in love!! ken being the type of person arisa hated!!!!! arisa being very different from the usual girls ken messed around with; tthey're different, but end up loving each other so much! it's a little messy, but they're working through it at their own pace. its nothing like ken's previous relatioships, but it makes him so happy aizou and yujiro: two idols that absolutely HATED each other at the start, forced to work together! but they realized that they really weren't that different, and had the same dream! and they care SO much about each other!!! though they're bad at showing it , haha . taking it from aizou himself, yujiro taught him what love was :')

aizou and arisa: these are mostly hanipre / one scene from the novels but!! aizou approves of arisa :) and they even laugh together and tease ken!!!! theyre literally already sibligns he's already accepted his sister in law sobsssfjsf

yujiro and arisa/ken: also hanipre exclusive, yujiro sees arisa and ken and thinks that that's the type of relationship that he would want..

but what if!!!!!! what if haniwa pushed the samishigariya quartet more!!!!!!!!!!! think of what we can have!!!!!!!!!

think of arisa!!! resident narumi sena superfan!! ken brings her home and aizou is there with yujiro writing a song or smt and instead of fangirling over them being idols or treating them differently she just treats them like normal students!!!! i think about big sis arisa soooo much like normally aiyuu are really against girls and think they're shallow because literally everyone and their mom is always praising them at school because theyre bigshot idols and then there is arisa, treating them like shibasaki aizou and someya yujiro, and not as aizou and yujiro from lipxlip. (like she literally calls aizou shibasaki-kun's little brother aizou or something close to that, and we KNOW that she's a narumi sena superfan so she most definitely knows who aizou actually is but she still chooses to call him based on his relation to her shibasaki :)). she also doesn't use her knowing them at all doesnt flaunt it or use them to get to sena

like ahh i like to imagine that aiyuu look up to her like a big sister figure (even though shes shorter lmfao) she's very kind and also manages to control the mess that is shibasaki ken i think they'll admire her for that and omg imagine them working together and asking sena for a favor for arisa like they go out of their way to make their big sister figure happy breaks down crying ueeueeuhsnje

ok now this is just me rambling haha but also imagine ken and yujiro.... they make fun of aizou toggether and ken tells yujiro what aizou was like as a child and they laugh evilly

and and and ad na yujiro and arisa mostly being quiet but in comfort? sometimes they see their shibasaki's being idiots and in unison exasperatedly sigh. i think their dynamic would be amazing. cat-like people 4ever.

sorry that this is so long but i love the shibasakis so much and you're so right anon ken's absolutely fallen and him wanting to ask aizou so he can let arisa know is so so important to me like its essentially asking aizou to let arisa into their family...... and aizou accepting her wholeheartedly sobsssbfhjknfsdl

so yea honeyworks realyl should make that samishigariya another story. i will die for it. arisa and yujiro arent siblings? u are wrong. not by blood but by bond. they are to me. siblingsisms so true.

Fic Recs Masterpost

[hellmouth-manor]

mixing of cliques || body reaction

The funny thing about friendship was that it was oftentimes something you felt creeping up on you when you didn’t expect it. Sure, you could like someone, and you could want to be their friend, but it wasn’t some obvious, glaring thing that just appeared in front of you and proclaimed itself as there. 

Minami was a good person. She was the kind of person who Arisa had seen be eaten alive by the world for no reason other than it felt like it, and she had shoved more than one of those good people down into its maw for no reason other than she felt like it. 

The other woman was, at first, vexing. She didn’t understand how she could be sorted into the same sin as Arisa had while not even knowing what a sugar scrub was. She was abrasive, a bit crude, rough around the edges, and basically everything that Arisa would describe herself as the opposite of.

[♫♫♫]

It hadn’t lasted for long.

She’d brought to their lounge a stack of photos that Arisa, years ago, had shoved into the back of her closet and refused to look at in an effort to quash the existence of that smiling girl on them all for the sake of the boy beside that girl. It had been impossible to keep her mouth shut when prompted, excitedly bragging about the young boy as though she had any right. 

The three letters on the back were difficult to ignore, though. So, for the first time in three years, Arisa said her name to someone other than her own broken reflection in her bathroom’s mirror.

“It’s ‘Arisa.’ You can call me that, if you want.”

“…If you want, you can call me Minami, then.”

The company was easy, even in spite of their differences. She’d expected it to be a lot rockier with, well, just about everything about her, but it never seemed like Minami really cared about all of that. Not a single bit of it. She was aware of her caustic and acidic personality, and she just went with it. It was nice, being treated kindly by someone so good without the expectation that she earned that kindness through being “better.”

It was fun to just be able to talk with someone so completely different from her without judgment. Well, about the big things. She’s certain there had been a few moments where minor things got a raised eyebrow.

“u should let me teach u how 2 slay. as thanks 4 the makeover during truth or dare 💗”

“What

I M not slaying shit whats wrong with U”

“wtf r u talking abt

o

wait no not like that lol

like slayful”

But Arisa would have never called them friends. It would be presumptuous of someone like her to call herself friends with someone like Minami–someone who she could so easily ruin, just like she had every other good person whose life she’d entered without a single care for their wellbeing. So, no. They weren’t friends. 

Until, that is, it turned out they were.

Miserable and left alone in a miasma of guilt and self-castration, Arisa had been jolted from the confinement she subjected herself to after Olwin’s death by a firm knocking on her door and concerned words from one of the very people she was trying to lock out to protect. When a door wasn’t enough to stop her and words didn’t seem to be doing much of anything at all and Minami continued to ask after her, she’d finally let the truth tumble from her lips.

(cw: self-loathing)

“It should have been me. People won’t miss me, but people will miss him.”

“I don’t know where you got that idea, but we’re friends, ain’t we?”

It turned out they had been friends. A miserable person like her had become friends with someone as bright, strong, and inspirational as Minami, even if the other woman obviously didn’t see it that way. Every attempt Arisa made to emphasize to the other woman just how good she was fell flat. She hoped to one day be able to make her see herself in the way that she knew everyone else here saw her.

Arisa didn’t need someone to mother her or take care of her. She didn’t look to Minami for guardianship or as a protector. She looked to her as her friend. Honestly, one of her best friends. Ever. Period.

If you had told Arisa she’d feel that way about a forty-five year old mother of one mechanic who drank shitty American beer and told jokes even dads would groan at, she would have told you that you were out of your mind.

But she did.

And now, she’s dead.

A flicker of a memory long-buried scratches at the back of her mind. The life of a good person slipping through Arisa’s fingers while she’s incapable of doing anything. There had been nothing she could do then, and there had been nothing she could do now. Now, she was forced to watch her friend take her final breaths in front of her and die.

She stares for several, long moments, feeling bits of herself leave with each scratchy exhale, but she drags in new feelings alongside oxygen on each inhale. 

She’s mad. Angry. Furious. She finally understands that sin called Wrath in the way she feels a fire fill her, making her hands shake and her lungs shiver. Arisa craves that feeling of unrestrained violence, she wants to make it so that whoever did this begs the hostesses to drag them away with their stupid little magic circle and their meaningless execution. She wants to feel their blood on her fist the way she used to feel it when someone got too close to her and Mitsugi.

Arisa couldn’t protect any of her loved ones from anyone, but she could make the world pay for taking another good person away.

(Without this rage, there would be that same nothing that Minami had to drag her from weeks ago. Minami is not here. No one is here. Almost all of her friends have been damned, leaving her alone as she’s used to.

Grief is not an unfamiliar fabric to Arisa, but it is one she can’t afford to put on right now. Not while there’s work to be done.)
