I still remember the first time I saw one of your posts. It was a "horny rant" post, all tags. It caught my attention because it was a "." with nothing but tags. Many, many tags. As I was reading it, my mouth opened on its own and ngl I drooled a little! You wrote so honestly and in such detail! I was genuinely turned on!
When I was finished reading it, I read it again and again! I then sent you an anon asking if you were real! You answered that of course you were real. I then spent the next 2 hours scrolling through your blog and falling deeper in love with this amazing, beautiful, sexy and most importantly honest Princess!

The Prince pt.2
(Alastor x prince of hell! Reader)
Warnings: couple fight, kinda depression but nothing major, ehhh I think thats it.
Also Alastor might be a bit OOC but like who cares let me be delusional🫡
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been two months now since you and your dad visited your sisters hotel and you met Alastor.
Since then life has been amazing. You and Alastor continued to meet up in coffee shops and bars.
Of course you didn't tell your father since he would freak out.
However is has happened don more than one occasion that you spent the night in Alastors room at the hotel telling your father that you were just visiting Charlie.
Nothing happened of course since Alastor was asexual, and it took quite some time to get him comfortable with physical touch in general.
After he got used to it though it turned out he loved it. Only with you, but he loved it.
One of your favorite activities together is, in fact, cuddling.
Which you were doing right now as well you sitting in his lap in one of his arm chairs both of you reading books.
Alastor stopped reading for a second, and looked at you.
Since the meeting at the hotel a lot has happened. A lot that surprised even him. He has no idea he could get into e relationship let alone with someone as amazing as you.
Around the beginning of the second month into your relationship you got into a fight.
You wanted him to drop the act and open up to you because if he doesn't this relationship will never work.
And obviously he didn't want to. He has spent years building up his very carefully crafted facade. And who knew if you would still love him.
After that argument you didn't see each other for a week. Which was hell for alastor. Yes, he lived there but being away from you showed him what it was like for other people.
The pain in his heart was something he has never felt before, perhaps when his mother died but that was so long ago he could barely remember.
He woke up with that blinding pain in his chest and he thought is was just a temporary thing, so he went along his day.
Only to notice that the pain did not lessen or go away. It was there constantly and got worst whenever someone mentioned you.
After 3 days spent like this he could take it no more he went to you fathers house and requested to see you.
He knew that Lucifer didn't know you guys were together but he didn't care at this point he needed to see you and frankly he refused to do it over a little buzzing box.
Your father was of course as confused as one can be. What the fuck was the radio demon doing here wanting to talk to you.
They were about to get into another fight when you turned up.
Alastor froze when he saw you.
You were, even nicely speaking, a mess. Your hair was not as well kept the sleepless nights could be seen in your eyes, and you were wearing your pjs, which was one of Alastors shirts, from the few he owned.
Alastors didn't even spare another glance at your father he pushed him out of the way took your hand and led you to your room where you guys talked things out.
He didn't open up fully, but he stopped grinning. Which was already a huge step for him.
He promised, though, to open up to you more and more he just needed time.
And you were ok with that.
After he finished his sentence you leaped into his arm and kissed him which he eagerly returned. Missing the feeling of your lips on his.
"Alastor?"
He was staring at you. For a long time now and you were getting worried.
"Are you ok?" You asked while cupping his cheek.
He took the hand that was on his cheek and kissed your palm that put that hand on his chest where his heart would be if he had one.
"Oh, I'm quite alright dear, just thinking." He answered than leaned in for a kiss.
Your lips met and this kiss was not quite like the others.
Alastor but all the feelings he couldn't say into that one kiss stealing your breath. You felt the things he was to closed off to share and you understood why it would take him time.
After you parted you gave him another quick kiss which made him chuckle.
"WHERE IS THAT RADIO DEMON SON OF A BITCH"
Oh, yeah when Alastor visited you, Lucifer found out about you two, and since than...well lets just say Alastor enjoys tempting him with it to no end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YOU GUYS ASKED FOR A PART TWO, AND I DELIVERED😎
No cuz in all seriousness my hazbin fics have gotten so much love and I just wanna thank you guys so much😭🧡🧡
I hope you enjoyed your reading Ladies, gentleman and other, good afternoon good evening and good night.🦖🧡

one thing about ham dani that nobody seems to get and why I'm always fighting for my life in the webtoon's comment section is that in all her fear and reticence around opening herself up with her friends, believing she belongs in this world, trusting in her place and relationships is that SHE'S NEVER WRONG ABOUT THE NEGATIVES. i think it's very easy to look at dani a hundred chapters in still going on about her place as a side character and what she can expect from them realistically, what she can allow herself to feel for them, and feel frustrated, like she's being deliberately obtuse. but dani. is. not. wrong.
one thing that many isekais do is that they will take the premise of "being transported to a novel" and use that simply as a vehicle for the FL to use her knowledge of the future to her advantage and turn the odds on their head. beyond the initial "ehhh why is the ML flirting with me??" which tends to wear off rather easily, there is little questioning about what being in a story means. and inso's law takes that question seriously. because dani IS inside a story, her friends ARE characters AND THIS IS EASILY PROVABLE SINCE THE BEGINNING. How? because she leaves.
it has happened to her before! It happens multiple times in the novel! that's why march 2nd is SO terrifying for her, because everything she's built can be taken from her in the blink of an eye and SHE will be called crazy and SHE will be left grieving and nobody else will remember what ONLY SHE LIVED. she is effectively, practically, tangibly separate from each world by this experience. when dani insists on the labels of main character, side character, the tropes and the narrative possibilities happening within them SHE'S NOT WRONG!! because those things are TRUE!!! I know it's easy to gloss over it bc we as readers just take everything in as a story, but the crazy plot points? they're insane to her too because SHE is a real person and others are not! They're characters! That's why it's called The Law of Webnovels because dani is making sense of the rules of a world which factually functions distinctly different from hers. she's not making that shit up, it's not (entirely) an emotional hold up. that's shit's fucking real.
the nuance is brought on by the fact that the characters are, in fact, also people. they behave like people (albeit inside the margins of wild webnovel logic), they feel like people and they see her as a person. but she does not entirely reciprocate, because to view them as people means assuming the hurt that will inevitably come when 1) she gets sent back into the real world and loses them all or 2) the plot to the novel finally kicks in and who knows if the guy she liked was the ML and will end up with her best friend and all her love and all her trying were for nothing. No matter what, dani loses.
there's also the fact, which i think is exemplified very clearly in her feelings towards her grades and being compared to yeoryung, that even outside the character/real person dichotomy, ham dani and the boys come from WILDLY different backgrounds. when they graduate high school, they will go to different colleges and they will get different jobs and the wide wide gap which dani had managed to bridge due to the magic of webnovel rules will be opened once again. in the social hierarchy of modern korean society, dani will be left behind. ban yeoryung is somewhat immune to this despite sharing similar socioeconomic status because she has 1) better social capital in the form of her beauty and intelligence and 2) plot armour immunity bc she's destined to be with one of the boys anyway (and again it IS destiny bc she's the FL and according to the genre clues dani's been gathering that seems to be the most likely outcome). yeoryung has resources and tools beyond the story that dani cannot access. even IF this wasn't the world of a webnovel, if they existed in the real world, yeoryung COULD feasibly climb her way up but dani? she's realistic about her prowess and she knows very well that being a good friend and a good person does not mean she will get to remain close to her friends who are much much much richer. my point here being that even if she weren't under the assumption (WELL TESTED!!! SCIENTIFIC, EVEN!!!) that she's in the world of a story ruled by story laws, she wouldn't be silly for guarding her heart against the possibility of drifting away from byr+the boys.
all of this is why i love dani's character arc and her as a person. she doesn't act irrationally. she only acts very, very humanly. it's why i loved the kidnapping arc and her confrontation with choi yuri. she has to learn to treat them seriously, as human beings, because despite factually being characters, they don't have the awareness of it and their lives are every bit as real as any other to them. it's part also of dani learning how to be a person herself, because she's still a kid growing up and learning what's what, and doing so in an environment much more stressful than the usual. i think people are being irrationally mean towards her simply because they do not make the effort to understand her.

Okay so...this started as a sorta stable idea but then I started rambling and it ehhh...it went somewhere? Idk, this probs makes like zero sense but just go with it alright bestie????
Do you guys think Sugarboo ever used work as an excuse to distance themself from Al when Seth came back?
Like they knew the two were finally getting to know one another again, finally rebuilding a trust that was shattered years ago and they didn't wanna get in the way of that. So they threw thenself into their work...to distract themself, to remove themself
And for a while this worked out alright, Seth and Al had some space to talk abt...things and SB was able to work on getting their business of the ground...but they quickly ran into an issue. Burn out.
It had all happened so quickly, one day everything was fine, business was great, they were spending every moment of everyday in their own little space, baking anything their mind could think of at that moment and everything they made instantly sold out....but suddenly they could barely lift a spoon, everything was too much, too much demand, not enough supply. They were so stressed that they could barely roll out of bed some days.
They tried to just 'push past' this, thinking they were simply a bit tired, they just needed to keep going and things would be okay. Things were not okay. They worked themself into the ground, and people were beginning to notice, they were starting to notice
Al had started thinking something might be off when be realised it had been like...3 while days and he hadn't seen Boo at all. He mentioned it briefly to Seth which...didn't help. Bro knew this had something to do with him, and he was honestly silently freaking. Both of them tried to ask SB abt it, multiple times, yet neither of them received anything more than a vague 'answer'. They each had their suspicions but everything came out one day when they decided to check on SB after their work
They knocked on the door to no response, they knocked again and even called out to them but still no sign of life from within the house. At this point they were worried so they cautiously pried open the door and went inside. They couldn't find SB at first but they pretty soon found them, crying their eyes out on their bathroom floor. Al rushed to offer comfort, to ensure they were alright but Seth seemed to hesitate by the bathroom door, deciding it best for him to back up a bit
They asked SB what was going on, what had happened...but they couldn't answer. They were shaking, roughly, and were barely able to keep their eyes open due to exhaustion. Al had his hands on their shoulders trying to keep them conscious but they couldn't look at him. As they kept asking SB finally made an attempt to answer, through shaky breaths and messy sobs they murmered out something along the lines of -
"Sorry...I didn't...you guys finally...finally seemed happy...together...I didn't...I didn't wanna get in your way...I tried to work...but there's so much to do...and everyone wants different things...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry.."
Their voice trailed off as their gaze shifted slightly, first they looked up at the pink-haired one knelt infeont of them, they felt ashamed...they felt pathetic. But then they looked across the room to the brunette stood in the doorway...and they felt even worse. They failed, they had tried so hard not to get in the way...and now? Now all the attention was on them, they were stuck in the middle of everyone. They had failed...like always
Al tried to comfort them, tried to make them see that they weren't bothering anyone, they weren't in the way of anything and they had nothing, I repeat, NOTHING to be sorry for...but they couldn't hear him. Their head was foggy, their vision began to go and pretty soon...they went limp...turns out when you dont take care of yourself properly there are harsh consequences on your physical health
They passed out. That was all they remembered the next day, they had woken up to a concerned face watching them from the edge of their bed. Al noticed the second they were awake
"Boo! Holy shit what was that! What are you playing at? You really scared us there!"
He tried to calm down, he wasn't mad he was just scared, scared for the health of the one he loved. SB didn't say much, they were still so tired...and their head hurt, like they'd been hit by a truck. After a while Seth appeared with water, painkillers and toast. They made sure SB drank/ ate smth...they needed it and tried to get then to talk about what was going on. It took a few hours...but they finally explained why they'd been gone so much, why they were so busy...how they ended up like this
The two were...well...they felt like shit for their own reasons. Al felt awful cause he hadn't noticed, he had let all of this happen without doing anything to stop it. He'd been so caught in in Seth being back and what that meant for them that he had lost sight of the rest of his life. Seth...Seth knew this was his fault, he came back and now everything was falling apart, he was a curse, a plague, a danger to those around him...this was his fault
The three sat in silence for a while, broken by SB who somehow had a sense the other two were already casting blame onto themselves
"I'm sorry..."
Both tried to cut them off, but they continued
"! I don't want you guys using this to beat yourselves, it wasn't your fault, I...I should've spoken to you...I should've...been honest with you guys-"
"Sugar...stop it"
There was a slight argument, but it quickly slowed to everyone just being upset and apologetic. They all sat on SBs bed, making sure to give SB enough space to themself, and they spoke about what the next step was to ensure thay everyone was happy, and that everyone was alright.
It was a tough conversation, SB didn't want to accept help, they didn't want to admit that they needed it, Seth was tempted to just...leave town again, and Al was barely keeping himself together atp. In the end they worked it out...sorta. Things were still a bit rocky...but they'd made progress. They decided SB really shouldn't be on their own much right now, so they agreed to spend most of the daytime outside with Al and Seth, sometimes just with one but most of the time the three were all together (to stop anybody from getting stupid ideas), they all agreed to be more open...as open as they could be right now. There were still things each of them didn't wish to disclose and that was alright! They just had to make sure everyone was open about how they felt...about this situation, it would be hard...they all knew this...but they cared abt each other...they wanted to be around one another, and they knew this was how to maintain that....so they agreed and stuck to that plan
By the time the conversation was done SB was cuddled against Al and their eyes were already fluttering shut once more. He smiled down at them and they smiled back...they felt...better. They still felt weird, and tired...and sore. But things felt easier, not much...but slightly. Like their was a pastel filter over all their problems, sure they were still there....but they weren't as bad anymore. With that comforting thought they fell asleep...finally getting the rest they needed
End of this...ehm...ramble? Idk bros it's 1am

Crepinlore and the 30-50 random games 90% of fandom has never heard about
This post, like everything else about this blog, is very self-indulgent. I discovered many things during its making, and I simply can't not share. So, let's begin with something you likely have literally never heard about, and go to more popular things from there:
KROSMASTER ARENA 3D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Krosmaster arena online was a video game it seems nobody played, and honestly, I am mentioning it here because I fear that if I don't document it, it will disappear, and it will turn out that it was simply a vision I had, as if in a David Lynch movie. Evaporating, like tears in rain.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't think anyone ripped/tried to rip/found a way to rip the models from it — and considering the fact they're pretty... mobile ad-core, not much may have been lost.
Tumblr media
Anyway, here's Keke beating the shit out of some guy.
Wakfu Les Gardiens
youtube
Joris appears in the quest "The Tree of Life" of this game, which, as far as I'm aware, was updated in time with Wakfu episodes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even back then, Ankama knew that 1. Joris is very sus and 2. you cannot let him get close to you during a battle, or it's OVER.
Tumblr media
It's all very cute.
Tumblr media
There is something interesting I wanna say about this sprite, actually:
Tumblr media
An alternate version of it exists, made as a concept for the Dofus MMO. I am assuming it was Juien Druant elaborating on the ways Joris might look in the game. The first two designs are: baby Joris (probably not used because he looks too young to be a 200 year old man...) and Welsh & Shedar 60yo Joris. They were combined to make the iconic Dofus MMO-era 200yo Joris design.
Tumblr media
I'm quite sure that this sprite references the Les Gardiens one very heavily.
One More Gate: A Wakfu Legend
The first game in this list that actually has implications for real lore, and yet its plot is literally "it was all a dream that Oropo was having while inside the Eliacube"
For this reason, the events of this game are not entirely reliable — but are probably based in some way on the memories Oropo has.
Tumblr media
The main contribution this game has to Crepinlore is a third Crepin, who might be an ancient ancestor of the brothers, whom Oropo met and remembered, some sort of cousin, or he might be based entirely on fiction, and inspired by Kerubim (though ehhh I severely doubt Oropo would care so much about him that he'd hallucinate a guy like him within Eliacube's fake world).
Tumblr media
I really want to headcanon that the events of the game are based on something he really experienced, waaay before forming the brotherhood. But that's just my brain disaeses.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here we can see the store itself.
Krosmaga
I saved the best for the last — Krosmaga.
youtube
A video of the casts of Dofus and Wakfu beating the shit out of each other
There are characters besides Atcham, Joris, and Kerubim in this game — Julith, Jahash, Lou... But I choose to concentrate on my favorite three ones. Or I will die fr.
Tumblr media
If this Ecaflip gives the impression of constantly having a bad hair day, it's precisely because he doesn't have any! Brother of Kerubim Crépin, Atcham is fiercely jealous of the man he considers his worst enemy. And how could he not be, when not only does he occupy the prestigious position of Ecaflip's favorite son, but also displays his dense, silky fur without any modesty or sensitivity?
Here are his three forms:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm.,. unwell about the white one. I have to draw Atcham in a Bontarian getup one of these days.
They're really giving a fight to this Joris costume recolor from a Christmas event in one of the MMOs... (Now I want to see Kerubim in red too!)
Tumblr media
On topic of Joris,
Tumblr media
Adopted son of Kerubim Crépin, Joris is a curious and mischievous little boy. His favorite pastime is listening to the childhood adventures of his beloved "Papycha". And when he's too busy serving customers in his antique store, he's off playing with his best friend Lilotte! An avid boufbowl player and fan of Khan Karkass, Joris also hopes to become a star of the horned ball. While his destiny may already be mapped out on the stadium pitch, his origins are much less clear… But the good thing about not knowing where you come from is that you can imagine anything! For the little boy, there's no doubt: his parents were great boufbowl players, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not!
Here are his alternative forms:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I LOVE THE WAY HIS ADULT SELF IS DRAWN IN THIS GAME... I'm insane.
And now, last but not least: Kerubim.
Tumblr media
Judging by his adventures, Kerubim seems to have had more than 9 lives! From small-time opera rat, to Bontarian police officer, to lawyer: the least we can say is that during his youth, the man Joris calls his Papycha never stopped working! So much so that today, the owner of the antique store Aux Trésors de Kerubim takes advantage of his free time to purr quietly in his armchair, or to tell his adopted son about his past adventures. Past? Well, not quite! Because when the terrible witch Julith arrives to retrieve Jahash's Ivory Dofus, and seems intent on attacking Joris, the old tomcat doesn't hesitate to get in her way. With Kerubim, there's no age limit to being a hero!
Once again, it is confirmed that the store's name s literally "Aux Trésors de Kerubim". Sorry, I'm insane about the name of the show being the name of the store.
And his alternative forms:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's beautiful.

This is the process‼️
the actual final thing is here 😺
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this fucKing bass
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aaaaaallsooooooo
All this text is made with the tool that transforms your voice and whatever you're saying into text so don't expect this to have sense in too many ways okay?
Okay so this is part of the process that I end up making cuz there was a bunch of trial and error in this process because whenever I was doing like the front the front the front and the thing I was getting a little bit confused cuz I was having too many ideas at once and it didn't work out as you think it will but at the end I end up like merging some of those ideas into one and end up looking pretty good that this is the stupidest sketch of how it was looking at the beginning in the terms of the title and stuff
Now the bass that instrument took so long to get it right cuz listen I end up studying technical draw in architecture and if I see something that doesn't have the right perspective I'm killing myself
So of course I was going to get into technical details with creating or drawing the bass
And also in the first parts you can kind of see how it was at the beginning like the colors and stuff trial and error yada yada yada
And I end up making some color arrangements cuz I want this to be bright and stuff and I didn't want this to be pale or look a little bit weird I wanted to have the right contrast
And also talking about contrast you can see the pictures in black and white that's because I wanted to get rid of the contrast and I didn't want something to not pop up right using the wrong colors so that's why there's black and white pictures yes
And also as I know that @aziraphalesbookkeeper favorite color is green cuz I asked that in the ask box I end up placing a bunch of green and several places in the complete piece or the complete render
And also yes the thing that Google was wearing it was going to have some pins with like some flags or whatever and that didn't make up to the end because I was tired and I was lazy and I didn't want to do more things in the jacket
:b
In for the boots I end up searching on Pinterest several things regarding I don't know ehhh Punk boots or something like that and at the end of the day I end up just getting in genshin to look at my wriottesley and admire or have a treaty view of some boots that are similar to the things that I wanted to draw
And also talking about the boots yeah there is not that many things on the boots and I end up getting lazy and tired of drawing details on the boots but it wasn't worth it at the end of the day
And also in the part of Hugo's pants I was thinking into creating like this patches that punk pants end up having with some band names or something embroidered into them cuz that looks cool and I think it matches his personality in some sort of way and I kind of did that it doesn't look that much in contrast with they're saying something his pants but they're there and that's what it matters
I tried okay I tried
Also another little detail in the part of the front I was just searching for several inspiration on rock or metal covers for albums and stuff and I didn't find much of inspiration into that but then I look into some posters and stuff like that and that was just a boost of inspiration and that's why the fronts in the thing end up going from whatever you see on that thing that has like pngs of a scrap of papers and something is already in some kind of text of a chat cuz I remember that in the story both of them end up talking on chat and stuff
On my head it was looking right but then I put it into the actual canvas and it was looking like shit to me so that idea was a scratched and he didn't make it up to the end hehe
And I think that settled it and that's it basically for all maybe I will read all this shit later and find out something that I missed but that's it
:b

First Outdoor Live for Shuka and me: Saito Shuka 5th Anniversary Shuen 2024: Tenshi to Akuma no Sasayaki 👼😈
Tumblr media
Gosh, how do I even begin…?
First, I just want to let everyone know how hot it was XD I’m already someone who sweats a lot and the heat from the Sun returning the same passionate feelings as us Shukajins and Shuka ;D was simply…! HOT!!
For Day 1 (17 August 2024, Saturday), I did not have the leeway of using my analog hand fan or the Aqours electronic fan I had on hand as I was finding my way around Saitama to get to Tobu Zoo where Shuka’s Live was being held.
As you all know, I was running late due to that! And it was also because I made the mistake of still wearing my watch – that made me think I still had time, but Japan is one hour ahead of Singapore! XD Gyaahh!
I feel like the guide Shuka and staff left about exiting from the North Exit and it being a 10 minutes walk to Tobu Zoo is…for people in the know XD and interestingly, the station itself had a paper put up guiding visitors to take the West exit! So well, I followed that instead.
I was already running late, I was attempted to follow guys that wore Converse shoes cos that’s a good way to guess that they are Shuka fans heading to her Live venue but because I was already late, I figured it’s not wise to follow random dudes in hopes they are going to the zoo XD So don’t worry, I didn’t. Instead, I went to the bus and asked the nice bus driver uncle if it goes to Tobu Zoo >v<
When I made it there, 2 lady staff was waiting in a tent and helped me put on the wrist band for the zoo pass and Shuka’s Live pass – thank you! Because I would’ve been stumbling to put it on (I was fumbling with it for Day 2 XD) The nice ladies then told me it’s another 15 mins to Shuka’s Live venue and I was like – “Ah, thank you.” On the outside. But inside my mind, I was like, “Ehhh!? Another 15 mins?! Even though I’m already late. Mouuuu!!” And I jogged and sped walk my way to the venue XD
The “good” thing of being late is that you get to be led to Shuka’s venue by her wonderful singing voice XD
I also like how when I ran past the attraction for a roller coaster ride that had tall stones with Egyptian carvings on it and some other horrific poster near it, I was like, “Yeah nope, turn right because no way Shuka’s Live venue is where something scary is XD” And it is the right way to continue on my way.
Tumblr media
[Egytian carvings to the left, let the Shuka poster be your guide]
Speeding things up, because why would you want to know what else I saw on the way there, right? >v<``
When I neared the Live venue, that’s where you’ll see the Live Goods tent too. As I ran pass, I saw the merch I wanted sold out already so I was a bit sad but more importantly!! I could sense Shuka already XD Jogging in and slowing to a walk so as to not disturb anyone, I tried looking for my seat but it was like “BWAAHH!! AAHHH!! WOOO!!!” energy from lots of guys cheering so I was like “Never mind, I’ll stay at the back” XD
I joined in just as Shuka started the Devil Side of the Live!! (Courtesy to the Shukajin who made a set list record so I could fact check where I popped in >w<) So, it was where Shuka was singing “Baby Tell Me”!
But truth be told, I can barely remember how the song went cos I laid eyes on Shuka in her Devil themed outfit and I was just speechless, eyes glued to how amazing she looks and while I was amazed by her shining on stage and performing, I was very much constantly thinking about how good she looks in that outfit XD
You’ve seen the pics, you felt the same way! I bet on it!! XD Aahhhhhhh!!! >w<♡♡♡
Tumblr media
[mind blown, attention stolen, Devil Shuka is here]
Followed by a Medley of HYPED songs…!! *O*
Tsuki de hoshi de Taiyou da
Zenshin Zenrei
Ippai Attena
Bokura wa Genius
Excuse me, Shuka-san?? I believe this was where I jumped a bit too much and knocked my knees against the long bench XD And Miyuki here didn’t even realize it until she’s back in the hotel later to see the bruises. I’m telling you, the hype and high and smiles you feel from being on cloud 9 after experiencing a Shuka Live let’s you not feel pain XD But adrenaline aside, I did apply my essential oil blend that soothes pain so I’m guessing that’s why I could still go all out for Day 2! HAHAHA!
*coughs coughs* Back to the Live!
Shuka performs Darake next, and you can bet the energy explodes even more because everyone was looking forward to the 555 songs?? At least I was!!!
ShuShuShu is next and I had my Ai no Yajirushi towel with me so I took it out to twirl for this towel song!! Towel songs are so funnnn~ (I’ve been a fan of towel songs since μ's Mermaid Festa Vol.2, and have been looking forward to any towel songs. SO, I thoroughly enjoyed Shuka’s one too!!)
Mata Ashita was the next song. I vaguely remember me swinging my hands along to it >v<
I don’t remember where the MC part takes place, but I’m going to assume here where she had performed a bunch of songs already. Shuka mentions how she posted about her having a sore throat and that made everyone worry so she apologizes and reassures us that she is alright and in fact, super energetic >w< She’s adorable when showing how energetic she is. >w<
I felt that her sore voice wasn’t obvious in her singing which is really cool. Other than when she performed “Mikata”, that one was when you hear some scratchiness in her singing voice. Ah, and when she talked, that was when her scratchy voice was obvious.
Shuka calls out the dancers called “Gyaruz” to introduce them and that’s when a cute moment happens cos Shuka starts asking her band members if she forgot to introduce them XD Usually the flow would be to introduce her band members first! And so, her band members told her Shuka did forget and she was a little in denial about that like “I forgot?? Ehh? I forgot??” XD Too cute. And then she introduces each of them!
Shukajin then goes: “You forgot something!”
Shuka: “Mm?”
Shukajin: “Vocalist?”
Shuka smiles, “And the vocalist is Saito Shuka.”
And we all clap and cheer for her!! >w</
Somewhere in between the MC part is a conversation where Shuka makes a cute noise with her scratchy voice too and it was extra adorable. I think it might be where she was asking her band member if she forgot to introduce them? I don’t remember exactly, I just know she was adorable XD That voice was hnnggg XD
Oh, and Shuka asks if we got hit by the water she shot. And the reaction was… “Yes!!!” and she apologizes that only some got hit by the water? XD
I… …also remember Shuka saying that we have now seen Angel Shuka, Devil Shuka and now that she is wearing the Live Tee she is Real Shuka! (which is the purple coloured Tenshi to Akuma no Sasayaki t-shirt but cut up and redesigned into a different fashionable way which allows Shuka to show off her midriff when she dances >//w//< paired with her jeans-shorts. Healthy legs in display =//w//=b)
Tumblr media
[Real Shuka and her midriff ahhhh >//w//<♡]
You know, now that I’ve reminisced to here, I wonder if Shuka performed One Piece and Kutsuhimo first before the MC part >v<``
Because, when wanting to lead into a song, birthday bgm plays by the band member and the Gyaruz girls help to bring out the birthday cake and we all sang “Happy Birthday” to Shuka!! >w<7 It’s always so fun singing it to her hehe~
Shuka sneaks some to eat and from there is where it became picture-taking time!!
I love how everyone sat down and Shuka was like, “If you sit, we can’t see you!”
Then, some of us stood up again. And Shuka continues to say, “Ah, but it’s okay, we can take a proper picture later.”
That leaves us lost as to whether we should sit or stand XD So some was sitting, some was standing XD
Tumblr media
[Day 1 together picture; I can be seen hehe >v<]
The photo gets taken and we go on to have Shuka perform the final song Mikata.
Shuka thanks everyone after, running to the sides of the stage and back to the middle to bow, the Gyaruz and band members join her to join hands and bow to us too…
It’s always such a bittersweet feeling when the Live ends. And as she’s going back stage, she waves to us, smiles, bows, all of that. It doesn’t take long for her to disappear behind but it’s kind of slow motion in my memory…=v=
And once you hear the electronic announcer voice says it’s the end of Shuka’s Live, that’s when we clap real hard again and then start to disperse. :>
I was at the back so I just made sure to drink more water, wipe my sweat, take a photo of stage and the Sun shining through the ferris wheel to us. 😊I then bumbled my way over to the goods tent and checked what else is selling. Although the t-shirt and keychains were sold out already, the hood towel was still available! So I went to buy one >v</ (LITERALY NO REGRETS FOR THIS BUY. More about it in Day 2 gushings :P)
Aaaand, the next part of the tent is where they are selling Shuka CDs and whatnot, I already have all her CDs so I didn’t buy anything from there, so onto the third section of the goods tent, there was where a staff would give out a postcard with Shuka at a spot in Tobu Zoo where the bears are at! Super cute picture UwU Alongside the Stamp Rally card and he stamps Day 1 on it! The tiger is so cuteeeee!!! Look at her!! >w<
Tumblr media
[Tobu Zoo kuma Shuka!]
Beside that booth, is a present box where we can put our gifts to Shuka there. So, I took out my gift for her and placed it gently inside ^w^ From what I noticed, I think not many knew if there will be a present box cos I think there was less than 5 presents including mine XD While on Day 2, I believe I spotted a bit more presents in the box XD I hope Shuka loves the present I chose for her!! \>w</ Woof woof!
(Gosh, I’m making you all read so many words. There’s no way y’all are reading all these, right? XD To you who read all the way to here. Thank you. And I hope you’re smiling as much as I am while writing these~ ^w^)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Sunset. This picture captures the feeling after a Shuka Live… Breath-taking, at a loss for words yet so much feeling/emotion running through your mind…]
Tumblr media
~ DAY 2 ~
The Summer heat was high. I am early at Tobu Zoo this time because I don’t want to miss a single second of her Live. I won’t go into details of the fun before the performance but just so you know, it’s so awesome that our Live ticket already includes full access to the zoo and amusement park attractions! ^w^
Now…
It’s really hot and I kid you not. I was grateful for any natural wind and not natural wind that blew our way. When it was time to enter the space where the Live will be though, there was no natural wind there and my Aqours electric fan of course decided “I’ve worked hard for you for HOURS now. Time to rest…zzz…” [cue my shocked face XD] But it’s okay!! It’s like minutes to the start of Tenshi to Akuma no Sasayaki Day 2!!! I’ll just keep wiping this sweat and hydrating—
AHHH!! When the music changes to like a storm is brewing and SOMETHING IS COMING…!! And the band members come out!! I love them, by the way. We all love Shuka so we’re here but her band members just feel like family or super good friends already (to Shuka) so the feeling of cheering for them is sincere and excited~ >v<
And then, and then, there was this mash up of Shuka songs too…That one made me feel like if there was a montage playing too of Shuka’s growth, that’d be so cool too. But just hearing the songs mashed together like that… It evoked that feeling already and the scenes of MV to Shuka Live performances played in my mind too anyways—
HYAAAA!! From that, THE wedding-like music starts playing and, I think the backup dancers were already around and I was doing my best to absorb all that was happening. (Oh, also there were a bunch of tall guys so I had to tiptoe to see Shuka XD) But it’s all worth it when I saw Shuka in her Angel form which was this outfit like a wedding dress. Miyuki mind: CHOTTO MATTE EEEHHHHHHH?? KAWAIIIIIIIII!!! HOLD ON. WHAT, HOW, WHY, SHUKA?? >w<
Tumblr media
I was smiling widely and fangirling hard inside XD And she starts singing Aishiteshimaeba. I love this song a lot too but because of being caught up in the moment…? I totally forgot Shuka’s Live performances are extra fun with the dance moves she came up for us to dance along with her XD So when this super enthusiastic fan beside me did the moves – I was like OH YEAH, THERE WAS THAT. WAHHH. And tried to mimic and dance along the best I could >v< I kept remembering how Shuka told us she wants us to not be shy and be cute for this song so I focused back on seeing her perform on stage and did my best for the moves where I can remember XD
PaPaPa is the next song. And this is one of her super hyped songs too. Understandable considering how fun it is and one of her early songs too! >v< So, as someone who usually play the blurays at home and cheer with my hands/light sticks, I forgot again that there’s like claps and other things the at-the-venue fans do XD I feel like I’m being too focused on this because of the enthusiastic and loud fan beside me but I’m not opposed to learning the fan moves in the first place! I especially like the Love Live! ones after all :P So well, I was trying to follow along…again… XD
P.S. It feels good to be praised by Shuka when you pull off the moves so it pays off? >w<
PiPiPi next!!! I loooooove this song a lot >v< Maybe it’s because I love old school things but the lyrics having “antenna” in it just makes me smile so much XD And and, it’s such a cute song?? And thus, I didn’t forget the dance moves for this one XD I can’t even explain how adorable Shuka looks throughout this song as she sings and dance it… I’m sorry for my lack of vocabulary for it… But just imagine that…that megawatt smile, glowing not just from the stage lighting but from the Sun and her angelic form?? That’s how it was from my POV… TvT
Here comes the new song from her 555 album! And yes, it’s PuPuPu!!! MEANING SHE JUST CHAINED THE PAPAPA-PIPIPI-PUPUPU SONGS!!! That’s such a cool thing to do, right!? *O* And I love this song from her new mini album!! It’s peppy, it’s fun, it’s cute, it tells a story of friendship when two argues and how they care about the other, and understands the other too, and how they make up and it’s all good again. >v<♡♡♡ I know I had the biggest, silly smile as I watched her sing this song, staying on my tippy toes to keep my eyes on her… mmm… Cute and wonderful. (I also clap hard after each song I think XD)
After that much hype, it’s MC time!
I found it cute how Shuka knew we’d want to do it?? So she gets us to congratulate her for her 5th Anniversary. And also to wish her happy birthday XD So she would say “Shuka-chan, congratulations on your debut 5th anniversary” and we’d echo “CONGRATULATIONS!!” and she goes, “Shuka-chan, happy birthday~” and we’d echo, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!” >w<
Shuka then mentions about wanting to go bbq together and we’d shout back things like “Let’s do it!” and another one even went, “Right after this??” XD
Shuka likes to know the fans that are around so she starts asking our age group! When she asked “Are there teens?”, the person behind screamed so loudly <v<; Me and the other guys in front visibly flinched from the loudness XD I think Shuka was looking to the other side so perhaps she was not affected by that screech! Then she goes, “Those in the twenties?” and I cheered! I chuckled a bit on the inside that those in their twenties did a very cordial cheer? It was properly loud but not annoying is how I remember it XD And then Shuka goes, “Those in the thirties?” There was quite a bunch too and I remember I accidentally pumped my fist up too XD I was like, Hold on, Miyuki. We still have a few years to that. XD And when she asked for the older age group and there were still replies Shuka was happy about that!! :D
Tumblr media
[Shuka serenading us and playing instruments for us at the same time TwT She's so amazing, mouuuu, daisuki! >w<]
Shuka spoke more and then asked us to take a seat for now as she wants to serenade us >v</ I gladly sat down to hydrate myself but I was concerned if I could see Shuka when sitting down @v@ Thankfully? I could see her in between the heads of the tall people in front of me XD But it was slightly tough to make the head of hair become unfocused while I tried to make my eyes focus on Shuka only. It was a strange first minute or two while I watched Shuka play the harmonica and sing Himitsu Dogu. But gosh, I’ve wanted to experience this Live too and it’s wonderful each time!!!
Next, Shuka sings Kokoro from her 555 mini album. My eyes soften as I nod to the music and her singing voice, taking in each lyric into my heart. I really liked how everyone sat quietly and listened. And I couldn’t tear my eyes away from Shuka for even a second.
Tumblr media
When the music started for Hanarenaide, I felt something from the tip of my toes to my fingers and the top of my head. I knew this song resonated with me from when I heard it back home, but Shuka singing it to you Live? While you’re sitting there, and she’s sitting up on the stage… It’s like the world just had me and her. I remember I could not help but groove to the song and her words and I simply wanted the words in my mind to reach her – zutto hanaremasen. zutto soba ni… (I’m never letting go. I’ll be by your side always.)
We clapped so hard when she finished singing. >o<♡♡♡
And while I was feeling things, Shuka goes off stage to get changed and the band gets their solo moments!! It’s suuuuper cool! *w*
Miss Devilish Shuka returns in her full devil form and I swear I still feel the same way as Day 1 – Excuse me, Shuka-san?? What are you wearing?? What are you doing to me?? XD That looks so sexy and pretty and devilish indeed!? XD
Tumblr media
[The Devil owns my heart and takes good care of it!?]
Shuka is singing Baby Tell Me and it’s such a fun song too to be bouncing to while she have fun singing and running about the stage?? Oh, but she did not just run around the stage. This was where she was going to shoot us with water XD So she also ran all the way to the back and climbed a tower?? A high place XD And she sprayed a whole lot of water – from that far back, the water barely not reached me XD So I was like “Aww” >v< But it wasn’t over yet…!! She ran down and came all the way the sides too to spray us with water with her water hose-gun thing XD So yes – I was hit by the holy or maybe not so holy water since she’s on the Devil Portion of the Live now XD
Tumblr media
It's one heck of an experience to see her up close!! It’s like, “Oh right, Shuka is that small. How is she so small but so amazing? Oh gosh, Shuka is right here…!!” kind of thoughts as she ran between the aisles to spray us with water! And then back to the stage!! >w<
Tumblr media
After this hype marathon, there was some music box and thunder bgm which brought the mood back to “Oooh what’s next??” >v< And Shuka starts singing Tsuki de hoshi de Taiyo da! So I was jumping and hyping along to it! >w</ And when you’re hyping to it, suddenly it’s a little interval bgm thing again and she’s onto the next song Zenshin Zenrei…!!! *O* Waahhh!!
You’re Zenshin zenrei-ing one moment, and then bam, now it’s Ippai Attena!! XD It’s one hype song after another, I’m telling you!! All I remember now is being unable to stop smiling, to be bouncing on my tip toes to constantly get to see Shuka and cheering happily. (All while appreciating her moves and smile of course ;D) Bokura wa Genius is the final of the Hype Medley. This song was always super energetic for the full version too so definitely a wonderful finale of the medley hehe >w< Ugh, whenever she lowers her voice for a cool moment during the song…! >w< It’s so goooood >w</
Oohh, I like this next part – the BGM gets you pumped and Shuka asks you to do a few rounds of “S-H-U-K-AAAAA SHUKA!” cheers before her next song Darake!!! >w< I want to do that agaaain >w</ Shuka counts the number of times we cheer it with her fingers so we know how many to go too \*w*/
Tumblr media
[Inner Miyuki reacting to Shuka counting down >v<]
And now we are onto the 4th song of her 555 mini album. I was trying to take note of where she planted each of her new songs too, and I loved how they were placed!! ^w^
PuPuPu alongside the other fun triple P songs >v<
Kokoro and Hanarenaide as a ‘sit down get serenaded’ segment
Darake as part of the Devilish hyped portion
And last would be Mikata >v<
But first, TOWEL SONG…!! ShuShuShu!! As mentioned in Day 1 report, I find towel songs extra entertaining and fun for us to participate in >w</ This time, I tried twirling the Tenshi to Akuma no Sasayaki towel… and I must say, it’s a bit heavy to spin XD But all in all, there was spinning, jumping and cheering \>w</
Sekai no hate is one of my favourite songs too. It’s so cool, empowering, and the MV is as gorgeous as Shuka! I remember hearing it for the anime and then the MV…Shuka’s brown eyes literally so bright and alluring! And I would think Shuka rocks any colour but she rocks her favourite colour red so, so well…!! u>v<u I digress. Shuka on stage performing Sekai no hate is charming and I was left staring and experiencing her performance. I didn’t even bother doing the cheers the dudes around were doing. It’s that feeling of…like, all you can see is Shuka, all you can hear is Shuka, and…it’s just an amazing feeling.
At the end of this song though, Shuka reached out her hand skywards and stayed in that pose for a long time, so it’s like she froze and the people around started wondering if she really froze XD Then she “unfroze” and head towards the backstage again for outfit change! I bet she was feeling the moment thus the elongated pause in pose. =w=♡
Piano version of Hero ni narikatta plays while we wait for Shuka to return. 😊And this is another one of my favourite songs from her. I especially love the acoustic version and so I was loving the instrumental as I get hydrated, waiting for what Shuka is going to bring next—
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR MY TOP FAVOURITE SONG OF SHUKA’S TO BE PERFORMED NEXT.
THE SECOND THE FIRST BEAT DROPPED.
My eyes widened, my jaw fell agape morphing into a smile of disbelief and awe.
My processor was going into overdrive as I understood that Shuka was singing “Mou Muri Demo Hashiru”. I literally, unapologetically, and fervently tell whoever I can and Shuka that my favourite song of hers is this. It’s been an unspoken dream of mine to get to experience this song of hers Live. I’ve seen the MV, I’ve looped the song a gazillion times, I’ve watched her perform it in other Live performances via the Blurays, but…Live in person?? I wanted to get to taste this. And I am living it. The world does not even need a rebuilt or to “fall apart” again as I was still living in the space that felt like it was just Shuka and me as my eyes never strayed from her, when she pours her heart out in singing each syllable and verse which she would go lower to the stage’s floor, I’d just do my best to tip toe some more to see her, chasing after every poignant second of this performance. I lipsynced to it as the words were known by heart. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to properly convey my love for this song and how good Shuka’s Live performance of this was.
If you ever have the chance, please go to Shuka’s Live and experience her performance. It reaches your heart…
And while I’m still reeling from having a dream come to fruition unexpectedly… (Shuka is amazing that way, right?  (◕‿◕)♡) The next song Shuka performs is Kutsuhimo.
Gosh…It felt like coming full circle. Of course, I came to know Shuka from loving Watanabe You, but when I got into loving Shuka too, I supported her from her debut song too. And Kutsuhimo is like the string that ties us together. A strong bond that’s like…fate and like a pinky promise too. We put in the effort to continuously support one another. :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Shuka performance touches my soul and I have ascended (again)]
MC time! Both Shuka and I need that moment to hydrate and breathe again XD (By this point I think I already finished my sports drink and my 2 litres of water is probably down to 500ml or less OuO;)
I think Shuka liked to ask us if it’s hot / if we’re feeling hot, and we would go “It’s hot!!!” XD And while she’s drinking, someone asked if the water was delicious, she smiles/smirks and under her breath, she goes, “It’s not water” XD But doesn’t tell us what it is. Well, considering the hardcore setlist, you’d think it’s a sports drink at least XD
Shuka then asks us if we are enjoying the outdoor live which we of course tell her we’re enjoying it to the max. Then Shuka goes, “Tasukaru?” (“Does it save you?”) and we all laugh with her because this is like a youngin’ slang. Probably the Japanese Gen Z slang? XD Basically a thing to say when what you love is there. (Fun fact: Shuka did not understand this slang is either and learnt about it during Uraraji when the person who wrote in used this slang. And further understood it more the more people used it even during her InstaLive. >v<)
Shuka continues to talk about a bunch of stuff such as how she would think a lot into what song to perform for each Live, and to cherish every second there is with everyone… And that’s how quite the tough and crazy setlist got decided for this first ever outdoor Live too. She smiles sheepishly yet happily at this, and we laugh because we know it’s really a setlist jam-packed with energetic songs and Shuka really kept going song after song. But we love it >v<
Shuka also tells us about how she feels that with each Live performance she gets to do with us, with each challenge she overcomes from the various performances, she finds/hones a new weapon to be able to be stronger again >v< (EXP points gained and levelling up!!)
When she goes “The last song for today”, me and everyone around whines for more XD And we asked for extension XD but of course, it’s the last song for the day. And Shuka leads in with her these heartfelt words…
“For a final song…Right now, what I am feeling up to this point have been enveloped into this song and I hope to deliver it to you. You all are not alone, you have me. No matter how tough or sad things get, or when things seem out of reach, I will definitely be unwaveringly by your side. You can come over to me knowing it will be okay. Every day, every day, let’s keep supporting each other and walk together. So…please listen to this song – Mikata.”
Mikata to me, is another song of hers that is one where she bares her vulnerable side to us like she did in “Yoku warau riyuu”. Some lines that calls out to me are “I’m going to continue singing at the place where I am reflected in your eyes.”, “Even if feeling like a coward or feeling uncool. Put that aside, and take my hand.” and “I’ll tie my shoelaces again and start running once more.”
When Shuka sang the final line of Mikata, I like how there’s such a loud silence and then the band plays the instrumental of Mikata, like it just continues and then Shuka goes, “Thank you so much for coming over to play with me for the 5th Anniversary Live. Now, allow me to introduce the band…”
“I may not be a hero yet…but right now, I know that what I can say with confidence is that I’m your ally (mikata). And will always have your back.” Shuka… >o< To me, you ARE my hero. But I’m also just…so, so happy to have you as my ally. That’s for certain!! >o< ♡ (I also teared up at this part when Shuka talks about her journey of 5 years as a solo artist, how she wants to be our hero and don’t think she is yet… Shuka… OmO♡)
Shuka also asks if we will continue to see more sceneries with her. And I can tell you, my answer is a resounding yes. My new dream is to get to attend her FC event performance because I adore her acoustic singing and I want to get to experience that too.
So… With this feelings of adoration, admiration and endearment, I once again have set forth to reach that dream! >v<
Ah, I just realize I did not mention about how Shuka was in “real Shuka” mode AKA where she is in the Live T-Shirt and shorts and the way it got redesigned is so hawawa too O//w//O
If you asked me whether I like Angel Shuka, Devil Shuka or Real Shuka more… I don’t think I can really give an answer right away XD They are ALL so wonderful hehe~ >w< ♡
After Shuka introduced the backup dancers, Gyaruz, I think there was picture-taking moment… And then they go off backstage…and then Shuka asks for her phone cutely, “I want my phone~ My phone, please~” >v< Kawaii sugiru desho?? (Isn’t she too cute??) >w< And once she got it, she gets to record her usual video where we all cheer loudly and she asks the question which we go “SAIKO JAN!!!” >w<
…haaa… …
This 2 days of Shuka Live was simply awesome. I’ve got no words. XD I mean, I’ve said so much, I feel like there’s more to say but…it’s that…basking in the moment feels. The post-Live euphoria… You can’t wait for the next time you get to see Shuka but at the same time, you’re just…smiling and remembering the 4 hours you just had with her for this 2 days… =v= ♡
For me, the feeling of missing Shuka and Japan while feeling like I’m still there…lasts quite long XD It’s probably why I can still be gushing about Shuka’s Live even though it’s September already :P But I really wanted to get to share it??
Again, thank you for reading all the way here. I love Shuka!! Aaahhhh >w< ♡
Fangirling OuMiyuki signing out (≧◡≦) ♡
See you around! \(^ヮ^)/

The Beginning of The End (TCW AU)
I told you I'd explain how it deviates
Is this a part one? Maybe. probably not. I don't know either
-
Henry knew something was wrong from the start. He’d had this gut feeling that somehow, some way, this timeline was different. He shouldn’t have ignored the signs. But he did, and look where that got him.
Stuck out in the middle of the desert, with two more loyalists than he was used to handling, and some random guy who’d found them.
The new loyalists claimed to be part of a Toppat naval division that had been discontinued after the airship was built. One insisted to just be called Captain, while the other had the nickname Player (he insisted it was because he was good at video games, but Henry had other thoughts). 
The stranger’s name was Gray, or so he claimed, and apparently he, too, had been on the run as a fugitive for years, along with his small family. He claimed Henry had never heard of his many escapades because the government wiped his name from most records, out of shame of never managing to capture his ‘clumsy ass’, and kept only enough to be incriminating.
This led to his current situation; the stranger opting for an alliance.
“You have a ton of mouths to feed, I know how to keep people alive, I have contacts who can hook us up with weapons and vehicles, honestly, it’d be a bad idea to not accept!” the man insisted, his tone surprisingly friendly for a band of strangers. “Plus, I bet my family would love you! Well, my daughter would, my wife… ehhh, not so much. But then again, she’s not good with strangers in general.”
Henry huffed a sigh, thinking it over.
“I guess, since we have a lot of people, we can afford to expand a little bit more, especially if you really have these resources. And, I promise that I, at least, will try not to bug your family too much. But… what’s the catch?” the leader questioned, crossing his arms.
“The catch? I mean… you have to deal with me, I guess. I’ve been told I can get pretty annoying. But there’s nothing in particular that I really want, so…”
Henry shrugged a bit.
“Then I guess we might as well join up. I’m Henry, these are my… allies, I guess? Thomas, Geoffrey, Captain, Player, and the security guard is Dave.”
“Pleasure to meet you, Gray,” Thomas piped up, stepping forward to shake his hand.
“Nice to meet you, boys. I’ll call one of my buddies to drop a car for us, since I don’t think we’re all gonna fit in my side-by-side,” Gray decided, motioning to what was essentially a glorified dune buggy with a roll cage, the very car he’d rolled up in. He pulled out his phone, calling someone as Henry turned back to the others.
“Well, looks like we’ve got ourselves a new ally. Hopefully this doesn’t go… really, really sideways,” he tried to encourage the others.
“He seems nice enough,” Geoffrey added, “I’ve got a good feeling about him.”
“I hope you’re right. We can’t handle more conflict right now…”
“I mean, he hasn’t tried anything so far, that has to be a good sign, right?” Dave tried. “I mean, I don’t like that he’s a criminal, but, well…” He motioned to the surrounding former Toppats. “Kinda have no choice, here…”
“Alright, guys, my buddy Zach should be around soon to drop off another vehicle for us. I’m pretty sure we’ll all fit? We’ll see when it gets here, sometimes these things are iffy. While we wait, why don’t I get to know you guys better? I wanna know who I’m riding with,” Gray finally addressed the group, slipping his phone into his pocket.
“Alright, well, I’ll go first, I guess,” Henry said, stepping towards Gray a bit. “I’m sort of the former Toppat leader, but they kicked me out because I left someone behind during a prison escape. In my defense, I didn’t think she’d actually remember me. So, yeah, they kinda kicked me out, along with everyone loyal to me, and uh… we stole their prisoner, so now he’s running with us, too.”
“Prisoner? What for?” Gray’s eyes turned to Dave, wanting an answer from him.
“I dunno, they just kinda nabbed me outside of the museum. I guess as a hostage in case someone came after them directly? They could’ve at least fed me a bit more, though…” the former security guard grumbled.
“Huh. You’d think someone would notice you disappeared.”
“Yeah… yeah, I did…” Dave crossed his arms, a bitter look on his face. Thomas pat his shoulder with a concerned look before he spoke up.
“I’m one of Henry’s most loyal men. I also dabble in hat-making and I used to teach younger Toppats how to pickpocket. I’ve also been told I’m easy to talk to,” he said, and in response, Dave shrugged his hand off defensively.
“I’m not going to pickpocket my friends,” he assured both Dave and Gray.
“I’m the ideas guy,” Geoffrey piped up, trying to cut the tension, “And I can be pretty fierce when I need to be. I used to be one of the major planners before they kicked me out. Hopefully we can make it come back to bite them in the ass!”
“Me and Player used to be part of the Naval Division,” Captain added, “Before they upgraded to an airship. We’re better on the water than in the air, but we’ve got some pretty good weapons skills!”
“And I’m just… Dave,” he finished, looking a little unsure of himself.
“C’mon, no one’s just anyone. Really, tell me about yourself,” Gray urged.
“Okay… Well, I used to be an officer down at West Mesa, before I got fired for not checking a package, which led to an escape,” he began, shooting a pointed glare at Henry for a moment before continuing. “After that I worked at the museum as a security guard in the historic weaponry section, but someone stole the Tunisian Diamond and I got fired again… and then, that same night, the Toppats took me prisoner. I spent my life in that cell until Henry freed me.”
“Woah, so when it comes to criminal stuff, you’re pretty innocent, huh? Can you handle a gun, though?” Gray asked, pulling a pistol out of his side-by-side.
“Kinda? I was pretty new when I got fired from the force, but I have some basic training. Am I gonna need one?”
“Maybe, if the government hears about some of you guys coming down. They might think you’re still Toppats, y’know? Gotta keep yourself protected. Here,” he handed the gun to Dave, who seemed to examine it before fitting it in an empty holster on his waist. It was an awkward fit; those were normally built for tasers, not pistols.
“Anyone else need a gun? I have a couple more really small ones, and I’ve got some bigger ones back home. And if you’ve got something specific you want, I could call one of my friends to drop some off. I’ve got friends in very high places,” Gray offered, before the sounds of a helicopter suddenly filled the air. “Speaking of friends in high places, that’ll be Zach!”
He signaled to his friend in the helicopter, and as it approached, Henry could see a vehicle dangling from it. It looked like a large, armored truck, similar to some kind of SWAT or bank truck; the cab was smaller than the back, and the back had two large doors. As it was set down, Gray approached, detaching the harness that held it to the helicopter and attaching it to his side-by-side instead. Shortly after everything was secure, the helicopter flew off with the smaller car, and Gray turned back to the others.
“Alright, looks like Alex didn’t screw me over for once! There should be plenty of room in the back for you guys, and one of you can even ride in front with me! I will warn you, my driving skills are… Well they’re not great, and it’s gonna suck even worse in this sand, but hey, you take what you can get. Now, who wants to ride shotgun?”

GAHHHHHH just finished watching the last G-Rosso & despite watching a lot of times when I was there I am still amazed by it 🥹
They definitely did add in a bit more scene or change from the beginning. Especially the Rita, Himeno & Jeramie their let dance is so cuteeee & I couldn’t stop laughing At Kaguragi & Yanma flirting it gotten too ridiculous hilarious 😂 (Poor Gira)
Of course with the camera up close can see a lot of stuff like there was one part I saw Jeramie ‘s Kumonoslayer the key & lock fell out I was like EHHHH but Masashi (Jeramie) was good at picking it up without being obvious & fixing it with his cape blocking his action 🥰
As usual they got their dance & after show.
THEY DID THE KING-OHGER GAME YEAHHHH I like how Rita like was like ah let just go ahead to showing how instead of explaining hahaha.
They swap their places to be different than usual & Rita had excuse to move their hair aside so they can see with both eye 🥰
As usual they are too good hahaha 😂 anyway result are below & punishment game it wasn’t what I expected but IT WAS COOL CUTE & HILARIOUS.
(Most it what I was trying to remember for memories so yeah 😅)
So yeah they started playing & slowly it gotten faster until Gira mess up.
Gira fell to the ground & lie down defeated as Rita announced he is OUT.
Gira was all ready to do just about anything for punishment game
Then Kaguragi suggested that why all do the punishment game since it last performance.
They were waiting for any suggestions from audience until Kaguragi suggested that they do KING-OHGER GATTAI
It was a mess! Gira, Yanma and Himeno were all set they even say their Shugods name (in a different voice from their usual) while docking with each other hahaha
Rita was like ehhh we are really doing it?!?
Then they sort of restarted hahaha it was messy to say the most.
So they say their Shugods name while sort of docking together
Gira was in middle
Yanma at the back
Himeno on the right bottom
Kaguragi on the left bottom
Rita sort of like did like hook up on Gira on the shoulder (like how it docking) before moving to the right side as the Sword
Lastly was Jeramie who just hook himself in btw Yanma and Gira
Although they couldn’t agree on the right name once formed 🤣😂 one moment it was King Ohger or Legend or Extreme or God hahaha. So they did it again.
I will definitely watch it again this basic on mostly memories right 😅😅😅
Afterward they had some message to give us mostly is that they still got more story to tell & their thanks.
Then they wave off Himeno did say see us next at Shizuoka their first stop for Final live tour.
Gira & Jeramie were like Jeramie da yo! Gira da yo cute ☺️ Kaguragi join in a little later 😂
So yeah end with all of them saying see you again ☺️ (Especially Rita, I feel like they rarely say it to just stay in character but it fine)

Can't Look Away from You {Mafiafell Papyrus x Reader}
He looked at you like you were the sun, in that he tried to avoid looking at you as much as possible. When you were there, frustration laced any action of his. Although, he complained when you weren't. On days you secluded from others, he looked for you. On days when you were vocal, he avoided you. He never took a good look until you left, wondering why he never noticed your beauty before.
Yes, you were beautiful. But you were beautiful in the way a forest fire is beautiful. Enticing in the sense to lure unfortunate people to certain pain if they got too close. Pain was dangerous. It caused weakness.
Weakness gets you killed.
Papyrus sat in the kitchen. The paper was spread out in front of him. He paid no mind to it, his matters were more concerning than the dramatizations written by people hopeful for fame. Papyrus couldn't say he blamed them, he too had his heart set on his own glories. He took to not paying mind to human affairs for the most part. His mind was preoccupied with other things to pay mind to them anyways. Wingding's had been cooped up in his office, absorbed in his plans. It wasn't unusual, though he had recently taken it to the extreme. Sans and Papyrus had a silent agreement not to pester him. Papyrus was generally louder and Wingdings was used to it. Even still, fights with their older brother were unwelcome between the two younger ones. Sans had been out as well. Wingdings regularly told the him to deal with meetings with clientele. This kept Sans out of the house for hours. It had never been this long, so Papyrus would be found in the kitchen awaiting his older brother's arrival. Hours gone by and there was no sign of him. Papyrus wondered if the humans had been harsher negotiators. It wouldn't have been the first time the three brothers had to deal with unpleasant people to say the least. Sans did have a longer temper than his brothers. As much as Papyrus hated to admit it, this reason was why he had been forbidden from dealing with those unpleasant humans. Papyrus began to think his patient brother had snapped, the previous annoyances of the past few weeks has been building up for some time...
Before he could finish his thought, Sans had bustled into the kitchen. The two brothers made eye contact. Papyrus motioned to the empty chair across from him. Sans sat down but refused to say anything.
"YOU'RE HOME LATE." Sans looked up to meet his brother's gaze.
"yeah, well, not all humans are eager t'ah make business with monsters," he replied, shrugging.
"BUT IT WENT WELL?" Papyrus leaned forward, hoping to get some answers out of his brother.
"yeah." Sans turned away before mumbling, "in more ways than one."
"WHAT WAS THAT?"
"ehhh nothing?" Papyrus shook his head. This was not nothing.
"YOU'RE LYING," he said flatly, "TELL ME." Sans fidgeted with his hat for a minute.
"aright, fine, as long as you don't tell wingdings. this secret could put my credibility on the line."
"WELL IT WOULD IF YOU HAD CREDIBILITY TO BEGIN WITH," Papyrus taunted. He had to cough to cover up a laugh. Sans crossed his arms and glared at his brother.
"real funny bro," Sans replied, a sardonic edge to his voice.
"WHETHER YOUR CREDIT EXISTS OR NOT IS IRRELEVANT BUT YES, I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRET." Papyrus waited for his brother to start, intrigued on what this dastardly secret could be.
"soo you remember that lady we met awhile a go? the bar singer?" Papyrus smacked his forehead. This couldn't be good.
"SANS DON'T TELL ME—"
"you wanted to know so let me finish," his brother interjected, "so i know it sounds bad—"
"IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE."
"shuddup. anyways i know it sounds bad, but it's not."
"NO. IT IS," Papyrus responded matter-of-factly. Sans rolled his eyelights. "WHY EXACTLY DO YOU NOT WANT WINGDINGS TO KNOW."
"because i don't need him nagging me about what is and is not business." Sans threw up his hands in exasperation while also adding, "i got you for that." Papyrus ignored the snide remark. The next one caught his attention.
"plus i'm not the the only one who's had someone catch their eye." Papyrus immediately stiffened.
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Sans's permanent grin widened. He gave Papyrus a look that seemed to mean they both knew who they were talking about. It all fell into place. He turned away quickly from disbelief.
Now it was Sans's turn to tease.
"aye don't feel bad bro. the truth was gonna come out eventually."
"THERE IS NO TRUTH BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG," Papyrus retorted. He refused to look at his brother.
Sans had not been wrong but Papyrus would not admit it no matter what was said or done to him.
"ANYWAYS, IT'S LATE. IF WE TRY ARGUE ABOUT THIS NOW, WINGDINGS WILL HAVE US BOTH IN JARS." Sans shrugged at trudged off to his room. Papyrus was about to do the same.
Then, something stopped him.
Was it possible Sans was right? The thought made him feel sick even with the lack of a stomach. It ate at him. If it was like his brother said, that the truth was bound to come out, should he tell them? No. He couldn't. He couldn't keep his temper with clientele, how did he expect to do that with a partner? Brushing it off, he went to his room.
The night dragged on. The morning continued that as well. Papyrus went about the city as he would. Nothing had changed overnight. Bruised and broken people struggling to get by, sometimes to the point of violence showed that it was still going to be a mess. It wasn't changing anytime soon. Clouds darkened from overhead. Gusts of wind breathed chills throughout the barren city. Though crowded, it was a lifeless city. Silence was only broken by screams and gunshots. The world had plumaged to an eternal eclipse.
At least Papyrus had one light.
He had only seen you twice. Once in front of a market. Another time passing by on the street. He never saw you after that, only in quick glances when he is certain you weren't watching.
Even still, the small times he did see you brought large feelings. Feelings that would get him killed if he acted upon them.
That didn't stop him from trying.
There was no need to deny it, Sans would not say anything as much as he hated keeping promises. There was a change in Papyrus's demeanor if he was around you. You took notice very quickly.
You couldn't label as a friend or enemy, mostly a reoccurring passerby. There was something different about him though. Although he kept his loud tone, he attempted to mellow himself out, especially if you started looking uncomfortable. You wondered if it was because he was trying to be considerate but there were doubts. Not because he was a monster. The world was a not a trusting place, it didn't matter the species of the deceiver. You brushed it off, thinking it was an attempt of courtesy and went about your day.
He didn't leave your head.
There wasn't much you could think of when if came to Papyrus. He was loud and enthusiastic. Pasta was something he had strong opinions on. Other than that, not much could be said. His brother was around the city more often. You did take into account the strange change in tone around you. He quieted down slightly. His eyes would shift over to you occasionally. You had met his gaze before, to which he would promptly turn his head to act as if he was doing something else. Not much changed for the past few weeks. You tried to turn for his brother for answers but nothing came of it. He simply shrugged and went back to his cigar. Papyrus fanned away the crimson smoke emitting from his brother's cigar with words of exasperation.
You had met the brothers in strange places, but this party took the cake. The room was lit up golden. People were crowded in tables around the dancefloor. Couples twirled around you. People shared drinks. You hadn't expected them to be there but you didn't expect yourself to go anyways. There was no reason for you to judge. The routine had prevailed. Papyrus continued to glance your way. You wondered what exactly he wanted. He never directly said nor did anything towards you. You met his gaze once more. Papyrus opened his mouth, about to say something, then thought again and turned away from you. You tilted your head, confused. A singer stepped onto the stage. Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed Sans's face lighting up. She said some words to the crowd and began her songs while a man played piano next to her. You sat to the side with your drink of choice in hand. You kept your eye on Papyrus. It was strange how he acted around you. You wondered if he wanted something but didn't want to say it. It struck you as odd because Papyrus did not seem the type to get nervous easily. Still, you did not think it was your place to ask. He hadn't done anything to you so there was no way to predict his motives were harmful. You sat alone in your thoughts when someone had tapped on the chair next to you. Looking up you were met with Papyrus's face.
"MAY I?" Papyrus looked at you, awaiting your response. You shrugged. Taking it as a yes, he slid the chair back and sat down. You sat in silence for a while. The party continued, but you were in your separate world. You didn't mind. Though better than a fight, it had been a dull event. You gazed back at Papyrus. His face seemed to match your thoughts. He was present but his mind was elsewhere. His eyesockets fixated on you.
"Is something wrong?" You turned around to face him directly. He snapped back to reality and looked at you.
"NO, NO. THERE'S NOTHING. I WAS JUST IN MY HEAD." He paused for a moment. "I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARE, I WAS JUST THINKING."
"It's fine. This wouldn't be the first time you got into your own head when I'm around you." It was meant to be playful. You didn't expect him to turn away in shame.
"HOW MUCH OF THAT DID YOU SEE," he inquired. You shrugged. He sank in his chair with a groan.
"WELL I MIGHT AS WELL BE UPFRONT." Resisting the urge to leave, he leaned forward. You tilted your head.
"About what?" Papyrus reached for your hand.
"I DONT KNOW WHY BUT MY FEELINGS ARE OUR OF CONTROL AROUND YOU. IF YOU'RE HERE, I WANT TO LEAVE. IF YOU'RE NOT, I WANT TO LOOK FOR YOU. NOTHING MAKES SENSE AND I FIND MYSELF BEING PULLED AROUND LIKE A PUPPET OVER YOUR AFFECTIONS," he admitted.
"So you fell in love?"
"NO!" Coughing, he corrected himself. "MAYBE I DID, BUT I CAN'T."
"Why not?"
"I'M A MONSTER, YOU KNOW. I'M ONE OF THE DANGEROUS ONES." He slipped his hand away. You took it back. Papyrus sat rigid.
"You're not always dangerous." He rolled his eyelights.
"I'M DANGEROUS ENOUGH," he countered. You shook your head. "DON'T LOOK AT ME SO! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE DONE!"
"I don't need to know what you've done. I need to know what you are going to do," you replied. His skull seemed to flush. Shaking his head, he changed back to his typical confident demeanor.
"I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DANCE. WITH ME." Papyrus looked at you, slipping between confidence and hopeful uncertainty. You let him take your hand.
"YOU'RE SURE?" Rolling your eyes you turned around to face him.
"Yes. Trust me."
There was no going back. You danced as if the world did not exist. Papyrus couldn't look away from you. He couldn't when you stopped either. No matter what happened, his attention would be to you, always.

Sweet Troubles.
@mayisgoingnuts
(A rewritten version of Kevin protecting the kids for the Saturated AU.)
————
TWS FOR IMPLIED MURDER, KNIVES, BLOOD (IMPLIED), VOMIT ETC
The kids slowly enter the store as Carmen cheerfully walks out of it, anf then it cuts to the kids walking inside of the store. But they both come to a stop, noticing Kevin happily grinning at them from behind the counter. The screen begins to ominously darken while playing ominous music as well. Kevin grins.
"Oh—hiiiii, kiiiiids!"
Tumblr media
Both Skid and Pump stand there with wide eyes, before Skid furrows his brows, and turns around with a snarl of a frown. "..y'know what.. no. No, no.. no, no, no! No—I'm NOT dealing with this today!'
He begins to walk off with Pump following behind. Kevin makes a confused face and paces behind them while grinning.
"Hey—where are you two going? You just—"
They both stop, turning around with irritated expressions.
Tumblr media
"WE'RE—" Pump emphasizes this, "going to find somewhere else to get candy! We don't have enough energy to deal with you tonight!"
"Yeah! You cause us enough trouble already!"
"Trouble?" Kevin repeats, "What trouble?"
"Oh, I dunno! Maybe all the other hundred times we came here!"
"..I.. don't think I ever brought you trouble."
"Wh—what do you mean?! Don't you remember anything that happened at all?!"
Tumblr media
"Uh.. yeah!" He smiles again, beginning to gesture with his hands. Daisies, animals, and all kinds of cutesy effects appear as he starts to ramble. "I remember the time you came in there with that friend of yours and I told him that we didn't serve any 'flush'. I remember when you gave me that bath bomb.. oh! And that time you lost your doll! It was really fun!"
"Fun?! What do you mean fun?! That candy can you gave us when we gave you that.. bath bomb or something just ended up being filled with an actual bomb!" Skid yells, "My house ended up exploding because of that!"
"Yeah! What makes you think any of this is fun, you idiot?!" Pump screams.
"...ehhh, I dunno." Kevin glances over. Bob is now standing in the window with a confused expression, and Kevin notices him. He enthusiastically points in his direction. "That guy over there seems pretty fun though!"
Tumblr media
Bob notices he's been pointed out, and with a slightly startled look, he enters the store. Skid and Pump appear visibly uncomfortable as Kevin stands with a confused expression.
"Heyyy, kids!" Bob grins, "You like candy?"
"..oh, god.." Pump groans.
Curious, Kevin asks, "Uh.. who's this?"
"We—we dunno!" Skid shrugs, "He's just been following us around all night trying to bond with us or something."
"Oh! Well, why don't you go talk to him then?"
"We're NOT going to talk to him because he's weird!"
"That's mean!"
"Your face is mean!"
"That's also mean! :("
Tumblr media
Rick is shown entering briefly, watching as they bicker. He smiles to himself. And then drops the box on the floor. "..on second thought, I think I'm gonna go check out that chauffeur job now!"
Rick then exits.
Bob looks around at all the candy in the place, visibly disgusted since he doesn't like it. But he seemingly gets an idea and goes up to one of the machines. "Hold on, kids! Lemme see if I can get you some candy you'd like.. heh.."
He bends down next to the machine. Skid and Pump seemingly both get an idea at the same time, and Skid grabs Kevin by the hand, trying to pull him. "Quick, Pump!" He says to Pump, "While he's distracted by the candy!"
"..what are you doing, kid?" Kevin questions, not budging.
"We're—uhh—going to find some extra candy!" Skid pauses. "I.. I dunno. Just come on!"
Kevin allows himself to be dragged over to the back by Skid, and once Skid does drag both him and Pump to the back, he slams the door shut.
Bob gets up after gathering enough candy, experiencing more noticeable disgust as he lifts it up. He then finally notices the kids are gone though, and tries to speak.
"Hey, where do y'all—"
But he stops, getting a distressed expression on his face.
Tumblr media
He throws hands over his mouth, before stumbling out of the store hysterically. He nearly trips several times as he's shown running to a public bathroom, and then practically shoving himself inside the doors once he gets there. He breathes heavily, but becomes more distressed when none of the stalls are available.
Bob, seeing only a trash can in the corner, runs over as he's seconds away from vomiting. As he does so though, Pelo slowly walks in.
"Hey, man—what are you—"
Bob violently vomits into the can, and Pelos face becomes disgusted. "Oh god!"
It cuts to Skid and Pump standing in the back with Kevin, who seems confused at their visible anger. Skid is clenching his fists while snarling, and Pump is quite literally vibrating from rage.
"Gee, kids—" Kevin scratches the back of his head. "I'm not sure if there's any extra candy back here!"
Skid notices a box at that moment, and suddenly grabs it, shoving it in front of Kevin for him to see.
"Look! Extra candy! There!"
"Oh! Great! Now we can—"
The kids grab the box while basically ignoring Kevin.
Skid shouts, "No! Bye!"
They both then rub as fast as they can while carrying the box, and Kevin just watches without protesting.
Rick slowly walks out, smiling. "..do they come here a lot?"
"Oh! Yeah!" Kevin smiles, gesturing with his hands. "They're pretty grumpy, but they mean well!"
Tumblr media
He then stops. A silohuette walks out from the darkness.
"..oh!" Kevin speaks. "Hey.. the, uh.. kids are.."
The silohuette walks out, now more lightened up. It appears to be someone completely different. With splotches of mysterious red liquid on him.
"Hey.." He has a crazed grin on his face. It appears to be Costume Bob, holding a knife.
"..Oh! Hi there! Do you.. need something?"
Costume Bob realizes something. And becomes silent.
"Uh—can—can you go check out the shelves? Someone poured strawberry.. jam all over it.. thats.. that's what. Hah.."
"Yeah! Sure!" Kevin goes quiet. "..what's that knife for?"
Costume Bob looks down at his knife, and hides it behind his back. "It was for spreading the jam! Yeah.. just.. go check it out. Don't question it if you hear any yelling either. There's a party going on outside! And.. uh.. people are having fun!"
Tumblr media
"..really? I don't hear any music!"
"Yeah—but they're still just.. just go check it out! Okay?"
Kevin seems skeptical at first but then shrugs. "..eh! Alright." He then cheerfully walks off before it cuts again.

okay need to put my tma thoughts down somewhere because hyperifxation has consumed me.
anyways im... not quite to ep 100 yet? dont remember exactly which ep im on but anyways. i am... so intrigued. i kinda already know all the fear entities because ive seen them about in stuff, cant recall all of them off the top of my head though. umm..... trying really hard to figure out where this goes. i wanted to put down some guesses in this post (don't know if ill actually post it or save to drafts but i digress) but my mind is blank bc it's overrun with the hyperfixation.
curious to see if the worms from the infestation come back again. realllly want to meet some of the other avatars. trying to figure out if the Eye does anything outside of the Institute, if it claims all institute employees (unlikely) or only certain ones (more likely). Trying to figure out what "protections" the archives have that everyone references whenever it goes to shit. I find it kinda funny that Tim and Martin both went to corridor realm but haven't been reclaimed??? I'm sure theyve left the archives since then and havent been 100% safe but maybe they've both been wary about unfamiliar doors. idk. trying to figure out what the Not!Them are associated with. they seem like they could be with Distortion but my first inclination was Stranger. maybe both??? maybe certain... beings are outside the realm of distinct categories. I know that people talk about Martin and Jon being gay together, beginning to wonder if it's ever going to happen on screen, ehhh.... or on tape if you will. i really can't keep track of most of these characters so i can't put together more articulate, well, guesses, i think calling these theories would be a bet of an overstatement. hell ive barely even guessed with most of these, can't really organize my thoughts well enough for guessing these days (but that's a whole other post).
current favorite characters are Michael and Jon bc im predictable. Also their interactions with other characters are top-tier, the others are bit.... boringly polite to each other.
uhhh yeah! TMA cool, excited to see where it goes. will probably immediately re-listen and write out a loose timeline and list of character profiles.

Little Women ff -pt1
Choi Do Il and Oh In joo - The story continues!
For everyone (including me) who wished they could see them ending up together in the show. Special mention @choidoilgirl I hope you like this
Tumblr media
(The fanfic takes place after the sisters receive their share of money, Inkyung is in US and In Joo is in Seoul.)
It had been some time since the three sisters received their share of money courtesy of Choi Do il's meticulous planning; To think that the initial shock and surprise would finally settle down in In Joo   but it's been a while and something in her refused to settled down - strange sense of feeling that she couldn't quite name. 
"Wow, when did you finally find time to video call your older sister? Huh Inkyung? And all for gossip… I expected better from you" Joo said, as if offended. "I'm more offended with your choices in men, lately" Inkyung was half laughing, after listening to In joo talk in detail about how her recent blind date went. 
It was somewhere way beyond midnight, when Inkyung had rung up In joo. Under the dim lights of the tiny dining room, the sisters were catching up on details of each other's lives. 
"So you're saying that not only did the guy asked you to pay for dinner at a fancy restaurant but also tried to sell his gym's membership? Like that was not bad?" Inkyung hadn't stopped laughing. 
"ehhh it wasn't that bad" In joo protested, embarrassed, avoiding eye contact.
"yeah.. Maybe…a little" she added, massaging her temple. 
"Seriously sister, have you learned nothing from the time you married that Asshole ?well… on the other hand you do seem to attract conmen all the time" Inkyung commented, though in a joking manner but her tone had a hint of reproach.
"Me and attract con men? Nonsense" In joo, dismissed her sister's claim.
"However, there's actually one I'll approve of," stated Inkyung, casually. 
"Is my sister actually approving of a con man for me? Nice …I'm actually curious who that might be?"  InJoo asked impassively. 
"He's quite the money laundering expert, saved your life and drove a German car while he was at it".
"Can you just be serious? I don't even know who you're talking about" In joo scolded Inkyung.  
Inkyung paused, her face was a mix of disappointment and disbelief. "Are you for real? You're telling me you don't remember Choi Do Il?"
"tsk tsk", Inkyung clicked her tongue in disapproval. 
"Why are we even talking about him all of a sudden?" In joo said with a small laugh. 
Whenever In Joo was embarrassed, she would do this thing where she would laugh abruptly and quietly avoiding eye contact as if it would brush something under the rug. 
A Distraction.
Inkyung of course knew that very well of her older sister, she also felt to some extent slightly guilty about leaving In Joo all alone in Seoul. 
"Well, I'm just saying…you know? If you had to really date someone…you could date someone who always had your best interests at heart, while going to hell and back…..in a nice german car of course - a plus point." Inkyung's voice was very matter of factly but with an edge. 
InJoo made a noise that sounded as if she was coughing. 
"Anyways…I gotta go, I have class and I have to meet Jongho before class begins"
"Great to know you've replaced me with Jongho… who you literally see everyday" said In joo jokingly. "tell him, I said hi"
Inkyung laughed, "well nobody's stopping you from going all out to replace me either, preferably with a guy who drives a German car, I would be the happiest"
"Wow, would you look at that…you've turned more American than I would have liked" 
"HMMM, yes and you're still single. Please do something about that. I'm going now… take care?"
"yeah yeah… I will. Eat well, stay warm and healthy since it's going to winter soon"
Inkyung waved goodbye and the screen of injoo's phone went back to her kakao's chatbox. 
Although this was any other conversation at any given day of the month, It left in joo feeling more unsettled than before. Why did she feel a sudden ache in her body? She felt something similar when Choi Do Il was at the airport, leaving for Greece; the feeling was much lighter then. Today it felt heavier than before, like there was something unfolding in her chest. 
Inkyung, as soon as the video call  disconnected stared at the phone for a moment, she knew there were times when In joo pushed her and Jongho together probably more subtly, she couldn't help but worry about her older sister. 
Without her and Inhye and definitely not counting her parents. In joo was more lonely - a thought that often crossed inkyung's mind, except for a once in a month conversation, they didn't have time to speak to each other often. 
InJoo looked happy in the video calls but Inkyung knew better than anyone that her sister was quite lonely. 
Her sister deserved the money but she deserved happiness and someone who would make a fantastic partner and because Inkyung did not trust people, let alone In Joo's choice in men. 
"I really… for your sake, hope you go after love this time" Inkyung whispered to the blank screen .
(Note: I still haven't come up with a title once I do, I will update this.)

Am I the asshole for putting someone in a time-loop?
This is a bit of a long one. Let me assure you of this: It was for the good of everyone else. I wish it hadn't come to it.
So, I (old as time, NB masc-presenting) am the creator of my world. My sibling (slightly younger than time, robot) is sort of like my... beta tester. Who denies beta worlds by destroying them. It's a whole ordeal, we don't exactly get along all the time. Anyway.
Now, this version of the world was going on just fine. My little people were a little cocky, sure, some more-so than others, however this was the best go with this timeline yet.
But the thing is... we know how things are going to end up in the future. It's horrible. But it might be necessary.
So, to prevent it from going as badly as it could (and to prevent my somewhat trigger-happy sibling from getting any ideas), I enlisted a few people to tether one of my sibling's arms to this certain point in time. Those being: P (oldest mortal there is, NB) and another person, D (ehhh, then-30-ish?, M) who isn't super important to the tale.
I, unfortunately, had to wipe P's memories of his life prior to the loop- they are slowly piecing it together themselves, of course, I am not so cruel to not allow them that- and had the other person imprint them with a new identity.
P was the one who did most of the work. I commend them for that. When the time came to it, they fought one of my sibling's cores, won, and went to my and my sibling's dimension to finish the job.
And this is when things get... messy. See, when a mortal enters our dimension, they sort of... cease to exist in the most literal way possible. But with the tethering, their existence begins anew - a new identity, but themselves none the less.
This was a fine system, but then I found out they were remembering the loop. It had only happened once so far; but I knew I had to explain this soon enough. They hadn't had an audience with me before.
And so I did. I told them it was actually a rather good set-up; although they are stuck doing the same thing over and over, they are spared from the mad future that will befall slash has befallen everyone else.
Their work was vital to the future ending out right (after all the bad stuff happens, of course) but yet, they were still upset! I suppose I understand it might be a difficult subject for a mortal to find comfort in, but I thought if I had explained the situation, they would at least understand where I was coming from. It's all for the greater good; the bigger picture.
AITA?
(TL;DR - Trapped someone in a time-loop in order to reinforce reality. They started remembering things immediately, and were still upset when I tried to explain the situation.)

Well, today, February 8, is the birthday of our beloved Water Hashira, Giyuu Tomioka. So, to celebrate, a dose of love and smiles for this emo that everyone loves and deserves love. (Of course I had to do a second part, this guy deserves love)
Warning: This fanfic contains tickles. Also remind them that I don't speak English, so if they find any errors, let me know to correct it. I hope you like it!
Summary: This is a aftermath to my previous tickle fic. Giyuu will receive a kind gift from his partners
Lers: Iguro Obanai, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Mitsuri Kanroji, Rengoku Kyojuro and Uzui Tengen
Lee: Tomioka Giyuu
(Part 2)
The party was fun, they danced, they told some stories, they ate together. Tomioka was happy, although he didn't show it, he felt extremely happy to be with his classmates and friends. Although he would have liked Tanjiro to stay a bit longer, but he couldn't because he was entrusted with a mission.
'There's still a little bit of food, would you like another plate? I don't want it to go to waste', Mitsuri and Rengoku's eyes lit up and they quickly helped themselves to more food. 'It was to be expected, do you want more?', Obanai denied, he preferred to see Mitsuri eat, Muichiro was already full, Gyomei and Sanemi accepted a little more and Giyuu still hadn't finished his plate. 'Thank you, ehhh Tokito, what's that next to you?', Sanemi pointed to a gift next to Muichiro, who looked at him confused, he didn't remember how he got there. 'I don't know, is it supposed to be a gift?', Mitsuri avoided laughing at his answer and took the gift. 'This is Tomioka-san's gift?', Muichiro thought again and nodded slightly remembering. 'I think so, happy birthday'
'Open it Giyuu, what is it?', Giyuu opened his gift, it was a scarf with almost the same patterns as his haori, he couldn't help but smile a little. 'KYAAAA!!!', Mitsuri noticed that smile and got very excited, the hashiras looked at her confused until she pointed to Tomioka's slightly smiling face. 'Wow, Tomioka, you should smile more often! You have a very striking smile, I like it. What do you think Rengoku?' 'Totally agree! Your smile is so cute Tomioka, you should smile more!!' These comments embarrassed Tomioka, who covered her blushing face with his haori. Shinobu and Gyomei smiled when they heard that their classmates were having fun in their own way.
'EEEE!! Tomioka-san is blushing!! So cute~', Mitsuri kept throwing such comments, which made Obanai jealous. 'Hey Mitsuri-Chan, do you want to see something amazing?', Obanai whispered in her ear and she nodded excitedly. 'Sanemi, give me permission', Obanai whispered to his friend, he didn't ask anything and they switched places. 'I hope that's how you learn that damn piece of trash not to make Mitsuri blush or praise you', Obanai pressed on one of Giyuu's hips which made him jump. He felt all the eyes of his companions on him, his blush appeared again and it got worse with this.
'That...? Tomioka did you...?' 'No!', Tomioka knew what they were going to ask, it was bad enough that Obanai and Sanemi knew, and now the other hashiras, it was humiliating
Giyuu frowned and looked at Obanai, who was smirking under his mask. 'Please Giyuu, you know you can't help that', he raised his fingers and slowly approached him, Giyuu stepped back but collided with Rengoku's chest, who imprisoned his arms while laughing. 'Hahahaha careful Tomioka! You could fall! Now why don't we let my aniki tell us more of what he knows? Obanai?', Rengoku found this discovery amusing, but Giyuu knew he was in danger, now that Tengen, Rengoku and Mitsuri knew, they won't miss the opportunity to tickle him.
'Rengoku, let me GYAH!!', his words were interrupted by a shriek. sting that Rengoku gave to his stomach. 'Now now Tomioka, let you go? This is just beginning! Coochie Coochie little one!' Rengoku began to scribble his fingers on Giyuu's stomach, who gritted his teeth trying not to laugh. 'No! R-Rengoku! St-stop!' 'An unnecessary reaction! Let me show you an extravagant way to make people laugh like him!', Tengen raised his fingers approaching Giyuu, who started to get more nervous and embarrassed.
'Dohohon't!' 'OHHH SO CUTEEE!! I WANT TO MAKE TOMIOKA-SAN LAUGH TOO!', Mitsuri tried to get closer but was stopped by Obanai, he only stopped her to say something in her ear, whatever he said made her smile and moved to new heights.
'Tengen, go get his ribs! I'll take his hips!', he quickly approached and climbed on his legs to make sure he didn't escape' 'Whatever you say!', Giyuu felt like he was going to die, the 3 worst lers of the hashiras now knew his secret. 'No-! wait! GYAHAHAHAHA!! NOHOHO!!', he arched his back as he felt 10 fingers on his ribs and hipbones clinging to those places like magnets. 'HIMEHEHEHEJIMA - SAN HEHEHEHELP!!!', he tried to ask the Stone Hashira for help, but he found this a way to make Giyuu feel happy, so he only recommended stopping when he couldn't take it anymore. 'Hahaha! Take that Tomioka! Do you know what's the best? He enjoys being tickled!', Sanemi exclaimed when he then felt Shinobu's angry look, because they had promised not to talk about that secret. 'Oh oh oh! Really?!', Uzui laughed more as Giyuu tried to nod.
'Ohhh what a softie, ​​isn't that lovely?!', he teased to switch places with Rengoku, this time holding Giyuu so he wouldn't move. 'Of course! Tomioka, you could have told us that! We are your friends! Isn't that so guys?!', Rengoku decided to give him a little rest, tickling his side and part of his stomach. The other hashiras only nodded, well except for Obanai and Sanemi 'Stahahahap! Dohohon't tehehehase me! Plehehehehease! Ehehehehe!!'
'Oh Tomioka-san's laugh is so adorable! You know you can tell us to tickle you as many times as you want, we're delighted!' Mitsuri smiled as she gave his hips a few friendly squeezes. 'Okahahahay okahahay! Now stohohop!', he was lying, he was enjoying a certain part. 'Oh please, we know you don't want them to stop, you love tickling!' 'Yohohou're nahahat one tohoho tahahahalk, hypocrihihihite', Giyuu replied, now part of the gazes were directed at Sanemi. 'Oh, so you too, Shinazugawa?', Sanemi knew how to control his embarrassment
'You already screwed yourself!', he approached moving his fingers, at that moment he regretted having answered him. 'Nohoho! Sanemi! Plehehehase NAHAHA!!!', Giyuu dropped his head on Uzui's chest, it was the only thing he could do, he couldn't kick or wave his arms, he was trapped and helpless as Sanemi attacked the space where his armpits and ribs met
'WAHAHAHA!! SANEMI!! I'M SOHOHORRY!!' 'Prepare to meet the wrath of the Wind Hashira!!', Mitsuri, Rengoku and Uzui, just laughed and also helped Sanemi 'destroy' the Water Hashira. Sanemi his ribs, Mitsuri his thighs, Rengoku his hips and Uzui his armpits, after all Uzui only needed one hand to keep Giyuu's arms away from his body.
'HAHAHAH!! HEHEHEHEY!! NOHOHOHO FAHAHAHAIR!!! YOU ARE TOHOHO MAHAHAHAHCH!!', Giyuu squirmed at the combined touches of the 4 hashiras
'It's not like he's asking me to stop, it's obvious that he likes it' 'SHUHUHUT UHUHUHUP!!', well he couldn't deny that, he was having fun but it was definitely too much, besides he was already tired from the round he had before with Shinobu. 'Oi, who are you silencing?', Obanai approached Mitsuri and took one of his hips but unlike her, his tickles were stronger and more precise. 'GYAHAHAHAHA!! I'M SOHOHORRY!!', Giyuu was on the edge now, it wasn't long before tears of happiness rolled down his flushed cheeks.
'STAHAHAHAP! *hic* E-ENOUGH!! *snort* PLEHEHEHEHAHAHAHSE!! *hic*' 'That's enough, let him rest for a moment', with that order given the 5 of them moved away from Giyuu who was panting on the ground trying to catch his breath
Muichiro walked over to his 'brother' and hugged him 'Are you alright?', Giyuu smiled goofily and nodded. 'Cute~', Mitsuri cooed at that scene. 'Sanemi, Obanai we'll have a serious talk about this later, okay?', Shinobu smiled at both of them, but his intentions weren't good. 'O-okay Shinobu, it-it's not necessary. T-thank you... It was the be-best birthday', Giyuu smiled at his companions before closing his eyes a little tired.
