[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Could we get the Claymore Queens (and anyone else of your choice) reacting to their SO trying to be tough for their sake, not saying anything, not wincing (or trying not to), not complaining, although they're not in the best condition?

(Genshin Impact) Clorinde, Eula, Dehya, Beidou, Navia, Noelle, Furina and Xinyan's S/O trying to tough out their injuries

"Nah, I'd win." - Me at 1hp to my friends after getting hit by a boss's move dead on.

Clorinde has been in so many duels to the point where she can tell someone is bluffing, simply by their body language alone.

S/O was heavily injured: their legs were slightly trembling, breathing heavy, and weapon shaking.

And she's only glanced at them for a few seconds. They were in no condition to keep going, even if they insisted otherwise.

(Clorinde) "You need to rest, S/O. If we get into another fight, you've already lost."

She rests a firm but affectionate hand onto their shoulders in an attempt to get them to relax.

(Clorinde) "Getting yourself killed will not prove to me that you are strong."

Eula frowns the moment she hears her S/O say they're fine.

She doesn't even need to look at them, Eula immediately turns around and tells them what they need to hear.

(Eula) "You are not fine. Tend to your wounds, I won't be the one dragging your unconscious body back to Mondstadt."

Though her words are harsh, it comes from a place of concern and love.

She'd prefer not to have S/O injured at all and be the one in their shoes instead, but it'd at least make her heart rest easier knowing they were out of harm's way and recovering.

(Eula) "At the very least, just wrap the bandages around yourself."

Dehya scoffs and crosses her arms, shoulders sagging as she raises a single eyebrow.

(Dehya) "Psh, yeah right. I'm sure that blood dripping down your arms means you're completely rarin' to go, right?"

She shakes her head as she forces them to sit down, and with her arm strength and S/O's injuries, it is very easy to do.

(Dehya) "Sit still for a sec, you're not fooling anyone."

Dehya knows they weren't trying to worry her, but if anything this was doing the opposite.

...Then again, she can't exactly blame them. She'd probably do the same right now.

Beidou lightly punches their arm, and when S/O yelps out, that solidifies her decision.

(Beidou) "Thought so. You're sitting this one out for now."

Beidou's top priority is always the safety of her crew, S/O was no exception.

She doesn't take no for an answer easily, and Beidou does not care how much S/O tries to convince her otherwise.

(Beidou) "You'd convince me a lot more if you weren't hissing every single time my hand brushed against you, y'know."

Navia isn't even listening to S/O try to insist that they're fine.

Navia, along with some bodyguards that appeared out of nowhere, are already tending to their injuries.

(Navia) "We'll get you fixed up in no time, you leave everything to me!"

Her heart is pounding when she's looking at their injuries, trying her best to block the unpleasant thoughts out of her head.

What matters the most right now is that S/O not push themselves anymore for her sake.

Navia needed them to be okay.

(Navia) "No more of that talk, S/O! You're resting here and that's final! Gentlemen, S/O does not move an inch from this spot, understood?"

(Bodguards) "Yes. ma'am!"

Noelle pouts when she sees S/O trying to walk beside her.

Absolutely not! They weren't even in the condition to help her clean.

Granted, not a lot of people can clean an entire wagon just by lifting it with one arm, S/O included, but her point still stands.

(Noelle) "I do not think so! S/O, I ask you leave this work to me! You sit here and rest, I'll clean the rest of this mess up!"

Noelle is twice as determined to ensure not a single enemy gets through her. Her goal was to make S/O not worry, not the other way around!

As a dutiful maid should!

Plus, S/O knows if they try to protest, Noelle is using that superhuman strength to make them stay put.

Furina's fists clench when she sees S/O try to smile despite the heavy hits on their body.

...No. Enough was enough.

S/O would not get themselves hurt anymore for someone like her.

(Furina) "Do you take me for a fool, S/O?! I demand that you take a seat this instant!"

Her expression is angry, angrier than S/O had ever seen Furina.

But it quickly simmers down once her voice starts shaking.

(Furina) "I'd never forgive myself if you tried to keep going simply to not make me worry...Just be honest and tell me you have to rest!"

The irony of being honest was not lost on her, but they already knew the truth about her.

It's only fair that they didn't lie about how they were either.

Xinyan walks in front of S/O, hands on her hips.

(Xinyan) "Heck no, ya ain't fine! Ya look like yer about to keel over!"

She rushes to them and ushers for them to sit on the ground, while getting a few bandages out.

(Xinyan) "'Fine' my butt! You're lookin awful! Please just take a rest!"

A sigh of relief leaves her body once S/O complies, allowing her to tend to all their bruises.

It pained her to even see them this injured, but if anything, they won't strain themselves any further for her.

[idontkillorphans]

"Shut up." Sleipnir growled, dropping one hand but still squeezing before looking down the alley. It was quiet again. Whatever Sleipnir thought he was hearing, long gone. Dammit.

He sighed, letting go of the fae but keeping him pressed to the wall. "...when I tell you to be quiet you need to be quiet." He hissed, finally easing his weight off of the other. "They're gone now. Whoever it was."

🙌 //its angry but take it any way you please

send 🙌 to grab my muse by the throat

this can either be aggressive or flirty. the context of why is entirely up to you and for you to specify if you'd like!

"We haven't even set a safe word, what are you-"

It was hard to maintain cheek, when strong hands closed around his throat with clear intent.

The young fae struggled, a response of panicked instinct, rather than any hope of getting away. One part intimidated to two parts bruised pride, his gaze was venomous.

"I hired you to guard m-me. This isnt... guarding."

tinted windows- billie eilish

warnings: none

billie eilish masterlist | main masterlist

by the age of 20, billie eilish had become one of the most successful people in the music industry, with millions of fans and billions of streams. she posts on social media frequently and loves interacting with her fans. from the outside looking in, she had a perfect life. however, this was not the case. as with any celebrity, she had haters. these haters would spend hours tweeting and commenting terrible things about her, threatenening her, even going so far as to try and find her favourite spots and home address. she had maintaned her home address a secret and although she had to be careful, she had managed to live at home alone safely.

however, this all changed when she received a text message, directly to her phone, listing her home address, her brother’s address and a couple other personal things, topped off with a disgusting hate comment. the one time phone number used was untraceable, leaving billie vulnerable. that’s where you came in.

billie hated the idea of a full-time bodyguard. ‘i don’t need babysitting,’ she would say. she had bodyguards with her when she was at events and concerts and she was fine with that. but at home? she hated the idea. she begged her family to let her move in with them or to just buy another house, but no one budged. so monday morning at 9 am sharp, there was a knock on her door.

from the other side, billie looked at her parents reluctantly but they pushed her to go open it. she pulled open the door, immediately greeted with two tall bulky men dressed in all black. they stepped inside but said no words. once they had moved, you stepped into sight. your hair was down and you wore a tight black tank top with black pants, cinched at the waist by a black belt. you stood firmly, not meant to say anything yet.

unknown to you, billie was shocked. when you walked inside her house she coudn’t help but stare, eyes trailing over your body and thoughts going wild.

“ms. eilish, this is y/n y/l/n, your new full time bodyguard. she is to be with you at all times,” one of the bodguards spoke, voice deep and monotone.

“even when i’m getting dressed? or in the bathroom?” billie said defiantly but jokingly, earning a slap on the arm from her mother and met with absolute silence from the bodyguards.

“we’ll go over some ground rules,” he said finally.

for the next four minuted and seventeen seconds, he droned on and on about the tiny technicalities, the ones that had been ingrained in your memory from training.

“lastly, to the public eye, she is to present herself as your friend. keep it that way,” the bodyguard warned before leaving the house.

billie’s cheeks flushed red as she tried to figure out if it that was procedure to say or if it was that obvious that she found her bodyguard attractive. the more she thought about it, the more she hated herself for it.

god, what a cliche, she said to herself.

you shook hands with her parents, brother and brothers girlfriend before going to billie. you offered her a smile and she returned it, shaking your hand as well. your eyes locked and you held the eye contact, only interrupted by two loud thuds. you turned to see what it was and were met with the face of one of the bodyguards who dropped your two duffel bags on the ground.

billie sprung back to life, offering to grab your bags, but you politely declined, picking them up and waiting for directions.

“here, let me show you your room,” she said.

you nodded politely, following her through the large house, billies dogs at her feet. soon, you arrived in an empty guest bedroom. it wasn’t overly large but was spacious, decorated in a minimalistic and clean way, pops of colour coming from the paintings on the wall and the plants that sat on the dresser and bedside tables.

you set the bags down and billie excused herself, letting you unpack. you put all your clothes and toiletries in place and just as you finished, you heard a knock on the door. you opened the door to see maggie and billie standing there.

“hi,” maggie smiled.

“billie’s going to the grocery store and…” she began, nudging billie and looking at her expectantly.

“well, you need to come… right?” she said awkwardly after clearing her throat, her eyes avoiding yours.

“yes, let me just get dressed,” you answered.

they closed the door again and you changed into a more comfortable outfit. you grabbed a bag before going back down the stairs. you saw billie sitting on the couch

maggie shut the door and you heard their footsteps as they went down the stairs. you changed into a more casual outfit, making yourself look more like someone billie would actually hang around. once you were ready, you went downstairs, spotting billie sitting on the couch. you cleared your throat as you approached her, causing her to jump slightly before getting up to grab her keys. you followed her to her car before getting in the passenger seat. the drive was short and silent, and just as she got out of the car she put a pair of sunglasses on and put her hood up, an attempt at a disguise. you put on your own pair of sunglasses and followed her into the store.

you followed her around the store for about fifteen minutes, watching her check each grocery off her list. the conversation between you two came naturally, but it was mostly small talk as you were trying to keep up the appearance of being friends, despite only having met a couple hours prior. everything was going smoothly, the store was practically empty since it was a tuesday morning. however, everything began to go downhill when you received a call.

you reached into your pocket to pull out the phone that was buzzing incessantly, the call coming from one of the other people working for billies security. he relayed the message that someone had snapped a picture of her and posted it on twitter, a crowd had begun to form outside the store. you let billie finish her groceries, keeping your eye out for anyone who was staring for a little too long. she reached the cash and the cashier began to scan her stuff.

“excuse me,” you said abruptly, your eyes flickering between the middle aged employee and the fast growing crowd of people outside, “can i speak to your manager?”

billie gave you a confused look, clearly not having noticed the fans. she watched you carefully as you explained the situation to the manager, quickly catching onto what was going on. she clicked her tongue and sighed, letting her head fall back in frustration. the manager, who thankfully was very understanding, lead you towards the back door, billie in between the two of you. as you approached the door, the manager smiled and said goodbye. you switched spots with billie so she would be behind you and slowly opened the door. you looked both ways before giving her a slight tug. the two of you stood there for a moment before billie broke the silence.

“how are we supposed to get to my car?” billie asked.

“there’s backup on the way. we just have to wait,” you said.

billie clicked her tongue in annoyance, groaning loudly.

“i’m so tired of this,” she said, “i just wanna get to my fucking house.”

you stayed quiet, not knowing what to say. a moment later she muttered something under her breath.

“fuck this.”

in a second, she started sprinting into the parking lot. you ran straight after her, but she quickly became lost in the sea of people. they had begun to crowd around her, her short stature not helping you. you called her name over and over as you searched the crowd, walking in the direction of her car, but the sound was just blending with that of her fans as they did the same thing.

you remained calm and vigilant. as you looked over the crowd, you finally saw her bright red roots shining through. you got close to her.

“billie,” you shouted.

her eyes shot up in your direction and you could sense the regret, her eyes pleading for help. you reached out to her and she grabbed your hand. the fan that had been closest to her was enraged. her eyes locked with yours and you could see the anger in them, she probably thought you were another fan. you had become competition.

“NO,” she yelled, grabbing billies other arm.

she yanked billie hard towards her, but your grip was tight and you were stronger than her. you gave billie a firm tug back, her arm slipping from the fans grip and sending billie straight into your chest. she wrapped her arms around you, her head hidden. you put an arm around her and lowered your head to her ear.

“give me your keys,” you said.

for a moment, you both stood there, unable to do anything. your free arm was extended outwards, keeping people from getting too close. she handed you her keys, her eyes looking up and locking with yours. a pinkish tint had covered her cheeks and she looked away quickly, accidentally tucking her head right back into your chest. she quickly realized what she had done and her once pink cheeks were now flushed red. her eyes avoided yours at all costs. suddenly, you remembered what you were supposed to be doing. you let your arm fall from her body but grabbed her wrist instead, beginning to walk towards her car. you pushed your way through the crowd, finally reaching the car. you unlocked it and opened the door ever so slightly.

“get in,” you said, still shoving other people away.

you pulled the door open a bit more but someone behind you shoved you in before you had the chance to let her in. you sat in the drivers seat, your hand still holding billies wrist. the crowd was getting more and more rowdy, the people all worried they wouldn’t be getting their photo with the star. you didn’t have time to get out of the car and walk her to the other side so you did the only thing you could. you have billie a hard pull and she almost fell onto the floor, but landed on your lap as well. you slammed the car door shut and locked it. your breathing was laboured and you ran your hands through your hair, your eyes shut as you tried to catch your breath.

your eyes fluttered open seconds later and that’s when you realized billie was still on your lap. her legs were on either side of yours, straddling you. she was looking down at you, you couldn’t avoid her eyes. they held such a different kind of power than they did when she was looking up at you in the crowd. now they looked assertive, dominant. she knew what she wanted. what she wanted was you, and she was ready to do anything to get you.

“billie,” you muttered, only then realizing how close your faces were.

she smiled shyly, leaning in a bit, but not closing the gap. you could feel her lip brushing against yours ever so slightly. you leaned forward hesitantly, kissing her gently, and all you could think was

thank god for tinted windows.

I don’t have many bodyguard Killer stuff to say except good god that man would look astonishing in a suit

He'd look so good that I would be offering to drop to my knees every second of every day.

I know Killer would look so good in his fancy suit that's tailored so nicely (it's loose and isn't supposed to be tight but it is in the right spaces cause he still fills it up so well) and he'd keep his hair up in a nice ponytail so it doesn't get dirty. He'd also hide his weapons and you can never tell he's carrying so he just oozes out pure terror and intimidation to everyone else who looks at you wrong.

bodguard! Killer x boss' daughter who wants to fuck him so bad! reader is a beautiful thing.

[emelinstriker]

YO Idol! Gimme idol reader and champion headcanons, grrrrrr i'm starving feed meeeeee grrrrrrrrrr

oh no it's growling-

Assuming the Reader isn't dropping out of the industry in this one, have some points-

Who needs to pay for bodyguards if you have your own personal protection squad?

No seriously, some of the boys would unironically feel offended if you insist on hiring bodguards that aren't servants of the palace.

They would most likely all be rather hissy with management, and anyone in general that tries ro separate you from their group.

Especially any higher-ups are mutually hated on by your champions. Those people are mostly responsible for any of your sufferings, after all.

Though on a scale from "hates on them, but is still civil when in a conversation" to "unable to be calm in a conversation"... Mink, Azure, Red Son, Wukong, Ao Lie, Nezha, MK, Macaque

Some champions are rather paranoid about you getting spotted in public when you just wanna hang out. Expect to randomly see a certain monkey in purple hanging around in the shadows, a monkey in blue keeping watch on a roof, a man in pink floating in the sky with his spear in hand, and a green dragon sometimes showing up for just a moment to scare away any unwelcomed paparazzi.

They're acting like your number one fans when you're on stage and will hype you up for every performance. Also really wholesome and positive about how well you performed afterwards, even if you say you didn't do good enough. You always perform extremely well and beyond good enough for them. :)

Your champions don't need some backstage pass, they're VIP by default and just get to roam freely. At least as long as they're around you. Though, management would be too terrified to remove any of them from the premise.

There's been a murder near one of your recent performances btw.

But don't worry, "It was for your protection. They were armed." :)

[princess-of-the-corner]

we keep repeating it but yeah the fact that Chloe doesn't have a bodguard is why i have the headcanon that she at some point learned martial arts. in terms of fighting ability i keep wanting to have felix and chloe be on par in terms of having learned martial arts even though chloe probably doesn't officially have the belts to prove it

Reminder that Chloé was able to 1v1 Nathalie and win

[slozhnos]

thoughts on the twenties

fun! some might even say roaring!

but fr we need to bring back some of the land cause look at this stuff:

applesauce - nonsense/bullshit “that’s applesauce!”

egg - a person who lives the big life

don’t take any wooden nickels! - don’t do anything stupid

that’s the bees knees - awesome!

bimbo also used to be the term for a big, strong guy such as a bodguard lmao

Salvage Showcase: Blue Ink AKA Shinobu Togami

Now it's probably no lie to say that Danganronpa Togami is probably the most controversial to disliked entry in the Danganronpa Spin-off universe. Its earned a reputation in the fandom that, for the small few who know about it, for being utterly bizarre to the point that many write it off as being non-canon.

So one can imagine that when doing it for my Showcases, I’m also under a bit of pressure on how I should approach this. In my view, DRT isn’t nearly as bad as people think it is (that honor goes to Killer Killer) and deserves at least a fair shot against its criticisms and some misunderstandings about it. Of course, there’s quite the snag when talking about its original cast. Or rather, the fact that a good chunk of the major cast are essentially crossover characters from Yuya Sato’s Kagami Family Saga series and even then, when you also include those made (likely) for DRT, well, let’s just say they have quite the limited shelf life in the trilogy which makes talking about them pretty hard. Add together a few having some...baggage, and picking the first one just became an ordeal.

So after a lot of mulling over, I decided it was probably best to do the first Showcase on the series protagonist - Blue Ink, better known in the fandom by her name of Shinobu Togami. Primarily because she is the easiest to get a clear understanding of and, of the major developed originals, has less of that ‘baggage’.

...

....Also this would be the part where I post a character’s image but, well, she doesn’t have one. The DRT trilogy doesn’t have illustrations for the cast desgins so...I guess this shot of her Borges works? Sorta?

DISCLAIMER: The following is talking about a character with history of SA. If this might make you uncomfortable, its probably best to overlook this one. I try not to mention it too much, but just to give you all a head’s up.

Summary

Blue Ink is a girl that is enrolled in Hope’s Peak Academy as the Ultimate Secretary and apart of its 77th class batch. Not only that she is the official secretary of Byakuya Togami, being responsible for writing his autobiography: Journey Under The Midnight Sun.

When the Despair Novel caused riots to break out all over the world, Byakuya was called by the Council of Global Controllers, an organization that truly ran the world, to help discuss what the fate of the world should be. Blue Ink was invited as his secretary to attend. However, what neither knew was that Sonia Nevermind, who was a member of Despair High School (AKA Ultimate Despair), had told of the location of the meeting which was in the Church of Bones in Prague. As a result, DHS operatives stormed the building, killing everyone by Byakuya (who got knocked out and clothes stolen off of him aside form his glasses), Blue Ink (who carried him to safety) Sonia (who wasn’t there) and Mukuro (who was there because she was a bodguard for one of the members...but like, he died so she kinda just left).

From there the World Domination Proclamation, started by the the Ultimate Imposter begins. The world has 24 hours to find either the pitful cattle in the world or kill Byakuya Togami. Failures results in ‘Byakuya’ taking over the world. This leads into a chaotic frenzy that has Blue Ink try and survive the bonkers event about to unfold with her Master and whatever allies that they can scrounge as literally everyone wants Byakuya, either dead or captured.

However, not everything is at it seems. First, its revealed that Blue Ink is really Shinobu Togami, older sister to Byakuya Togami via adoption. In addition, her full-blooded older brother is the Ultimate Hitman, Suzuhiko Otsuki, and both were participants in the Legacy Crown Championship. Or rather survivors of that incident.

According to memories of that incident, Shinobu was a part of fifteen participants meant to compete in the LCC to become the new heir to the Togami Congolomerate. In order to win, one must obtain the ‘reliance’ during the ten day time limit. The one who wins gets to become the new heir, while the losers are stripped of the name Togami and meant to go about normal lives. During the LCC, Shinobu isn’t just competing with Suzuhiko and the others, but with her younger adopted brother, Kazuya. Kazuya was adopted after Suzuhiko’s first hit job had him slaughter an entire village, but Kazuya, who was left alive by pure accident. But, things go awry as the participants start getting killed mysteriously one by one and the clashing of selfish personalities aiming for the throne is felt throughout the entire time.

The truth? As it turns out Kazuya was responsible for the majority of the murders, some in self-defense and others because the power had gotten to him. Due to a ‘strange power’ that he had -  a light saber from his hand. This is revealed to an injured Shinobu...all whilst Kazuya ‘loved’ her wounded body. Indeed, Shinobu (with Kazuya being recent during the LCC) has been on the brunt of being sexually abused by both her brothers, more of the case with Suzuhiko, who claims what they have is ‘love’ and they were together. A confusing matter pushed aside by Takaya Togami, the final antagonistic sibling who seeks to be the last sibling standing by lighting the castle on fire and hoping the others burn to death. During this, Suzuhiko carries out an unconscious Shinobu out of the castle...

Shinobu awakens outside the castle tended to by the winner of the event: Byakuya Togami, who disguised himself as Suisei Nanamura’s girl assistant: Polaris  P. Polanski. Concerning the other participants, they’re dead, except Kazuya and Suzuhiko, who have disappeared. With nowhere else to go, Shinobu passes Byakuya’s test to become his new assistant, thanks to her inability to care for Hope or Despair for her future. Thus, he has her remain in the family as his secretary and big sister. The wounds she recieved in the LCC cost her one of her arms, which replaced with a prosthetic, and an eye. For the eye, she received a gold mechanical one that she calls Borges. Borges can give her news, be a dictionary, and just in general be a hi-tech little assistant that she uses for her autobiography of Byakuya. As for her brothers, Suzuhiko reconnected with the Togamis as their hitman on standby (before he defected during the WDP) and Kazuya would reveal himself to be alive and apart of WHO as Orvin Elevator, Captain of the Infectious Disease Prevention Unit during the WDP. Both serving as antagonists that want Byakuya dead, to be with Blue Ink, and, well for Kazuya at least, desire to become Byakuya Togami. Something that Shinobu doesn’t want to make happen.

But...something is off about the entire ordeal. At least, Shinobu’s perspective of it is off. For example, the LCC she knew of...didn’t match up with another LCC where she recalled both her and Byakuya working together. Also, whenever she mentioned something like the Hasegawa Institute people seemed confused by what she was talking about or why she was referring to them as a completely different title. What was going on?

In truth, from a conversation with the creator behind Borges and its AI, a man known as K, she learns that Borges itself had been showing Shinobu unreality. By feeding into Shinobu’s desire to see Byakuya as a God, as well as taking characters and ideas from various novels, like the Kagami Family Saga, Borges had been showing her fake conversations, information, memories, and even overlaying real people in real time with characters from those novels. It isn’t until Borges is destroyed prior to talking with K that Shinobu has the chance to gradually experience the truth of her situation. To forge her own path without the aid of Borges and even giving up her Ultimate talent.

But that wasn’t the end. During the climax of the WDP, where she finally reunites with Byakuya (who had been hiding out in Prague Castle with the Imposter), she learns the full truth: she...wasn’t Shinobu Togami, the original ‘died’ in the true LCC. She was the Kudan that people were seeking after, the ticket to the Togami Family’s Prosperity with her predictions. Or rather was and she hasn’t been for years now after Byakuya had become the Ultimate Heir.

Byakuya intentionally had Borges installed in her to erase memories of her prior life and of the original Shinobu’s identity. As means to get rid of the prophecy element since to Byakuya that was cheating, a sentiment Despair High School agreed with. Regardless of her former life, Shinobu chooses to stay with Byakuya, her own journey at this point giving her the means to tackle reality head on.

Ultimately, both Byakuya and Blue Ink are given a choice. If Byakuya chooses to rule the world, Shinobu dies,. If he refuses, Shinobu will have her mind wiped again and forced to live out a new identity away from Byakuya whilst everyone of the 78th class that came to Prague (like Toko Fukawa) would have their minds tampered to muddle the incident and erase Shinobu from their memories. Byakuya refuse and, before both loses their memories, Blue Ink gives Byakuya memento of her: a blue fountain pen he keeps in his pocket. Blue Ink blacks out after ingesting the drug.

With hope that, eventually, she reunites with Byakuya in a world conquered by him!

Personality-wise, Blue Ink shares similarities with Toko Fukawa, with her most dominant traits being her severe reverence and loyalty to Byakuya, who she considers to be a God. This love manifests between almost akin to a religious fanatic, to a supportive big sister to, well, someone whose clearly in love with him (incest runs deep in Ink’s little family huh?)

She is more open and emotional that her arrogant and reserved brother, though it's been observed she’s colder than people realize. It's implied that the abuse she suffered under Suzuhiko eventually lead to her stop caring about herself personally, no matter what good or bad fate awaits her and she sort of lives with a deattachment towards life unless it involves someone she really loves, like Byakuya. She is without Hope or Despair, but throughout then ovel feeling this way does gradually bother her. This also means if a horrible fate would happen to someone else, she can quickly move from it without issue.

Concerning back to her lack of care towards herself, in a similar vein to Peko, she doesn’t see herself as ‘person’ but rather Byakuya’s property - a writing machine made manifest. Much of her development in the novel is learning to become her own person and see life for how it truly is beyond what a machine wants to tell her. Thus leading to a resolution where, while she doesn’t give up her devotion to Byakuya, she finds the strength to accept reality for what it was and move forward to a Hope created by her own original style.

 Rundown

Shinobu’s character in DRT reflects on its central theme of ‘Truth and Lies’, or rather ‘Escapism/Unreality vs Reality’, if better to make it more distinct than to what V3 was going through with its ‘Truth and Lies’. With this theme, its represented in three parts with the, what I’m going to refer to them at least, the Unreality Siblings (Shinobu, Kazuya and Suzuhiko). Shinobu represents the ideal - a previously ignorant escapist being confronted with the truth and willingly choosing to accept it. The Accepter, to be brief about it.

Shinobu starts off as obsessed with Byakuya and constanlty using Borges for assistance. Throughout her journey, more and more of her fantasy gradually becomes unravelled to the point she is questioning why some people don’t know who some others were or why her memories weren’t lining up. She becomes confused, agitated and scared. This leads up to two important events that make her ar truly great.

The dinner with Hiroyuki that has her confronted properly with the idea that what she has been relying on isn’t actually as helpful to her as she thinks and her meeting with K, who serves as a harsh, yet important, teacher of the dangers of becoming lost in her own fantasies and assures her that she’ll be able to eventually see reality for what it is - as her own person this time. She becomes self-aware of the truth by her own notice, yet its with guidance towards what truly is at fault and giving her Hope of being her own individual without her ‘crutch’ that what allows her to be firm in her resolve to embrace the truth.

What’s more is that learning about her true past doesn’t throw in her in an existential crisis anymore, but she is able to take it in and weave it with her own tempered passion for Byakuya.  It’s a legitimate message with her against overelying on people or technology, forming your own identity and, while you don’t have to drop your strong interests, you can at least enjoy them in a healtier mindset.  Which is a far better conclusion than either Suzuhiko or Kazuya (those two are going to be a doozy...)

In many ways, with these traits, she is reflective of Toko Fukawa - writers who, after a horrible childhood past, comes to obsess over a guy who...isn’t the humblest person around, seeing him in a grander light than they would ever see themselves. Likewise, their arcs are about, while not getting over such a guy, realizing they were other avenues in life they haven’t given a try or were misguided by, with Toko finding her own goals and wants with her trusted friend Komaru and Ink coming to terms with trying to carve out her own path after seeing nothing but lies for a good deal of her life.

Personal Thoughts

Blue Ink is definitely one of the most underrated protagonists of the Danganronpa series and honestly one I feel many should at least read DRT to know more about. Similar to Komaru or Yui, Shinobu works well in bouncing off of Byakuya as his loving and loyal secretary that he actually gets along with, because Lord know Togami needs some more of that......well, not really healthy (get to that in a sec), but just positive bonds in DR. Plus, she actually does work well in bouncing off the other castmates of DR1, such as her rivalry with Toko to her banter with the Imposter back when she thought they were Kazuya and even once it was all over.

Though, there were a few hiccups. I did find it disappointing how quickly she affirmed her loyalty to Byakuya even after learning that he willingly chose to erase her first personality and memories. Would have liked for her to maybe instead have her, while not happy with it, she wants to give Togami another chance. Not because of her infatuation with him or ‘because he’s a God’, but because she has faith in Togami being more benevolent than how he acts. But that’s just personal preference.

Will also say concerning the....Unreality Mess Triangle with Ink, Suzuhiko and Kazuya and their baggage I wish it involved more outsiders, particularly of the mainline cast variety, reacting and interacting with it? A lot of time Ink is spent with her brothers apart from everyone else and it feels too isolating, in a sense? These three are at their best when they’re interacting with the mainliners, such as Ink witnessing the threeway ‘Byakuya’ discussion during their flight or watching Suzuhiko and Genocide Jack fight. Heck, this also goes especially for Ink herself being away from the other prior DR casts so much, which happens suprisingly a lot, especially in volume 3. While occasional one on one conversations are great, ultimately people are likely there to read Togami and his interactions with the main protag and both old/new casts, not just see the protag and the new cast, but little of Togami or the old ones. There needed to be a better mix of it I feel.

...Oh, right the incest too. Due to DR3 and UDH desensitizng me to this, I can say that Ink’s crush on Byakuya is something that I’m personally numb to at this point. Especially since the trilogy is determined to make being numb better than what the Hell was going on concerning her brothers. Also helps, it doesn’t come up as much as her fanaticism to Byakuya and she has more traits going for her to help balance it out.

But those are minor nitpicks, Overall, she’s just plain fun to read about and def think people should give her pov a try. (think about how many protags in this series can say they legit nearly choked out a hitman with one arm!? That’s kickass!~).

With that that’s the first DRT Showcase down! Next up is for the Minor Spin-off Squad AKA Kirigiriso/Ultra Despair Hagakure/Makoto’s Worst Day Ever. Their entries are too short and not enough cast members to give them their own distinct sections so, yeah, they’re all lumped together. To next time!

what if i wrote a fic where bodguard reader gets executed in place of Aventurine for breaking the cornerstone

[apompkwrites]

For this seemingly monthly ask, I bring forth bodguard!asim and idol!asim as twins. An idol always needs a bodyguard by their side for if it would be a tragedy if an obsessive fan came along and.......

○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●

So imagine this. As far as anyone in nrc is concerned , there are two asims attending nrc, the heir and idol. Though there is supposedly a rumored third sibling that roams the halls at night. So imagines the blacksheeps surprise when they find out that not only does that third sibling exist, but that they and and the idol are twins.

It was darn surprise for everyone. The two were complete opposites, one wanted to forgotten by the world in order to protect their family to the fullest whilst the other craved for just for attention, both the good and bad. The only way you could tell that they were twins was because of their hair and eye color, white and blue.

Why their eyes aren't the same as their elder brother you may ask? Well, they share different mothers, their family ain't starnger to polygamy you see, seeing as it is common practice amongst the wealthy in the scalding sands.

The biggest question the Flock held was as to why the twins don't converse with one and another as one would think that twins are in good familial relationship standing.

"Just because we're twins doesn't mean we have to be next to each other all the time ya know!"

○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●

There once was a time when all the two did was enjoy each other company. They never left eachothers side, not even for second. They were twins after all, the bond they held went deeper than blood and spirit. You could never find one with out the other.

After all, it get quite lonely in a home as big as the theirs. The twins were the only children of their fathers fourth wife and with fact that they held 30 other siblings, it came to no surprise the twins were often emotionally neglected as consequence. Perhaps that's why they held on eachother for support, because they believed that they had no else to lean on. They didn't need love, attention, praise from anyone, as long as the other was near everything would be fine, everything would be alright....but when life is cruel, one is sure to find that fates cruelty is second to none.

"There once was a time when the land was green"

There lay the two twins on their shared bed in their shared room. It wasn't that their parents refused to provide another bed, it was just that the two felt more at ease closer together.

"There once was a time when the land was green"

They held hands as one sang a song and the other began to sleep. The window left open to invite the harsh howling of the winds brushing over the sands of red gold.

"There once was a time when the seas were clean and the flowers bloomed and the winds at rest"

They was a faint sound outside the window. A scratching chipping away at the marble that encase their home.

"There once was day when the sky turn black"

There was a heavy sound of breathing outside, carried by the wind, a scream with a howl. The wind picked up.

"There once was a day when the land flood with red-"

The twin who had been singing had come to a halt. They tried to ignore the sounds of clawing reaching the window to their room, but it becomes far to difficult to ignore that feeling of dread when a hand is seen grabbing onto the edge.

Without a moment of hesitation the singing songbird grabbed the blanket and covered both themselves and their sibling under the safety of the blanket. Making it so that only they would be seen and their sibling was hidden from view.

There was a soft sound of feet hitting the ground but the feel of hatred filled the air in a heavy miasma.

They did their best to play ignorant of the situation, to pretend they lay at rest for the whole time, but they knew their efforts were for naught, the assassin already heard the song of a bird.

○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●

The other twin awoke due to overheating under a mesh of blankets. As they arose, sitting up they faintly remember seeing a tall figure unknown to them and a loud siren. They remember rubbing their eyes to see their sibling turning pale bluish color. It was at the sight of this that they quickly realized that the siren was no siren and that the stranger was shouting at their twin.

Where was she! Where was Aishia!

Whoever this person was, they were looking for their elder sister. But there was no time to linger on that because after that..... after that...they can't remember anything else after that.

Just that one moment this Stanger was strangling their twin and yelling for them to tell where their eldest sister was, and in the next, their twin held on to them tight as they sat in a corner with a red substance all over the room. The stranger, the assassin was nowhere to be found, all that remained was eachother and that faint scent of copper.

They do remember looking around frantically wondering what had happened and why it red all over the room. They remember crying once they realized they couldn't protect their beloved twin. They remember guards rushing in to their room only to recoil in horror at the sight. They remember hearing a ringing in their ear as their twin tried to sing a song, voice hoarse and sore. They remember not much after that other than that the red "paint' wouldn't come off their hands no matter how hard they tried.

Memories of that day remained scarce. They had so hard desperately trying to remember the full events that had occurred but alas, only bits and pieces would come to mind.

One thing they knew for certain was that this was the day when they grew up and saw the real world for what it is.

They certainly weren't the first to be threatened with death and neither will they be the last. As with great wealth and power, comes the hatred of rivals of both the rich and poor alike.

○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●

The relationship between the twins grew estranged as one grew cold in distant, determined to become strong enough to protect their twin and their family from any and all harm that comes their way.

And the other twin, the one who sung that fateful lullaby, longed since that day, for their beloved twin to just come back to them. That they don't blame them for what happened nor should they feel guilty bout it either.

Both twins knew that they wouldn't see eachother for a very long time, but one thing was for sure, where ever one would go, the other was sure to follow.

○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●□■○●

This isn't my best writing as like I had a difficult time keeping it short and such. I case it wasn't clear, Bodyguard!asim was the one who was asleep and idol!asim was the one who sung the lullaby

Here is the art I made as reference. Idol asim is the one with the bright red and bodyguard asim is the one in dark red.

black sheep fic! black sheep fic! black sheep fic!

i love the idea of bodyguard!asim being so hellbent on being in the shadows that they are literally unknown to the entire student body? idk it's funny to think about kalim introducing his siblings to people and everyone being like "omg there's another one????"

i can imagine that for a while, idol!asim was unable to sing? yknow because of damaged vocal cords or smth like that? and that only fueled bodyguard!asim's guilt to a point where they promised to stay back to protect everyone </3

and ugh your art beautiful as always /pos

I HAVE....DONE A THING....

Being a fully functional (y'all....stop the damn laughing) adult (*gives mom look to y'all* CUT. THE. LAUGHING.) I have come up with a schedule after being here since October. I know...I know...I'm as shocked as y'all are, but I have. AND...I have apparently gone insane. (*glares and points* I see you snickering behind the hand, you can't hide it from me, I raised a boy y'know? *pointed look*) I am going to bring over "Bombs, Bodguards, & Broken Relics", my saga of Melania LaVeau the daughter of Marie LaVeau, yes THAT one, and her life as a modern day archaeologist in Louisiana and parts unknown. AND "Bending The Law" a crime and mob drama set in Chicago where the lawyers might be just as dirty as the mob boss they're trying to take down. They are linear, so there will not be the Web of Lives like Imperium. I will link y'all when I get those started. They will start after 7/1. Both new sagas are HUMAN, although there is magic in BBB, obviously if Marie is still alive...DUH! Still human. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD

Now for the schedule.... Sunday - games & reading

Monday - Posting of Chapters

Tuesday - games & reading

Wednesday - Posting of Chapters

Thursday - games & reading

Friday - Posting of Chapters

Saturday - games & reading

There will be teasers, snippets, and sneak-peaks on non-posting days.

BBB & BTL will start like Imperium did w/Character Bios, although I'm going to try to do them in more of a group form so they don't take as long.

Anyone not currently on my tag list who wishes to be on my tag list, please let me know.

hi, i'm bothering u again jdjddjdk sorry. but i just think u should do a bodyguard!liam au or something. i'm craving for one of those and i know u would do such an amazing work 🥹🫶 but, anyway, it's just a suggestion, u can totally ignore it jxndkdkdj

Hey! Like Bodguard the show or movie? I"m not too familiar, but my DMs are open if oyu want to chat, or hit me up if you have Discord, I'm always happy to hear ideas!

[scinglives]

Yelena looked at the other, raising her eyebrow at her proposition. "Trust me, I don't think you want me as your bodyguard. This is the part where you say it's a joke and tell me what you really want." Yelena commented. "I'm not a bodguard. Me following you around would likely put a target on your back even more."

Alexis was having fun with such a feisty pip squeak. "You're fun," she said simply with her signature mischievous smile. "I might be in the market for a bodyguard for this event I'm going to, and my friend recommended you to me. Any chance you're available?"
