#byakuya's mostly just weak to it all though

[theultimatekamehamehavoc]

Naegami Fluff and/or Shenanigans 8

Sometimes, the two just have those classic movie nights. Not anything super fancy or romantic. Just the two of them chilling while watching a flick. It started off as Makoto's one-off idea before it blossomed. The two aren't even that big into movies but it's something they do together. However, one day, after finding a shit movie neither of them have heard of, the movie night spiraled into something bigger. Basically, the gist of their new and improved movie nights is:

This definitely became something the two never would have guessed to become so chaotic. Cus, every few moments in movies, Byakuya just HAS to pause it and go on a rant on everything wrong with the scene or dialogue while Makoto desperately tries not to laugh too hard. He fails though. Every. Single. Time. I mean, how can he NOT laugh when his boyfriend is absolutely ROASTING and MURDERING the poor movie with expert precision! Like, Byakuya's just stabbing the ever loving shit outta every plot hole imaginable and there is nothing that Makoto can do about it. Not that he'd WANT to... Makoto genuinely loves hearing his boyfriend rant about stuff in general, so this is no exception. Hell. The fact that Byakuya isn't even that big of a movie fan makes it better. Also, the ways that Byakuya explains the movie plots to him also doesn't help due to Byakuya's general sass the whole time. Gets Makoto every damn time.

The initially just watched bad live-action movies like The Room, Sharknado, all Neil Breen movies like Fateful Findings and Twisted Pair. However, after digging around for more bad shit for them to find, they decided to bite the bad and strange animated movies which Byakuya has his own new type of rants for. AKA "Stupid Children's Movie Humor that Moronic American Executives Force to Add into the Movies is Dumb and Stupid" rant. Also, there's also the obvious rant about the animation or animation errors. And that is where they made their best/worst decision ever. Yeah. Makoto nearly died when they watched The Bee Movie because of the unhinged rants Byakuya went on. Tldr; Byakuya absolutely DESPISES Jerry Seinfeld and made that VERY clear. Meanwhile, Makoto barely knows who the fuck Seinfeld is, though that doesn't matter because the boy is literally curled up on his side, on the couch, clutching it for dear life while freaking snort-laughing to death as Byakuya just won't let up. Makoto also leans on Byakuya a bit for SOME semblance of support but it barely helps and the heir's movements just make him laugh and giggle even harder. The whole time, Byakuya's just smirking at him while being amused at Makoto's response. And, gosh. The day after was almost as bad when Byakuya pulled at the cork board to explain even MORE about his hatred of Seinfeld. Makoto shed many tears those days from how hard he was just dying from the whole thing. Also didn't help when Makoto tried to engage himself with the discourse by asking questions. The key word is TRIED. He could only get a few legible words out at that point which Byakuya absolutely teased him for. Like: "Ah, Makoto. This is no laughing matter! I am talking about the heinous deeds of an unfunny comedian! This man is DESPICABLE!" he says, also struggling a bit not to laugh himself. Cus, Makoto has the gift of having a bit of a contagious laugh. Specifically in the sense that hearing it is cute and, if one ever laughed along with him, zero shits would be given about one sounded cus they're too busy trying and failing to keep it together. Also, it's just easy to kinda have fun laughing with the little guy like that. 'Tis hard attempting to not be charmed by he eggy ways though some are obviously immune. Byakuya is not. AHEM

Yeah. Byakuya was SOOO having a fucking blast tearing apart both the movie and Seinfeld both cus he likes ranting but also because, at this point, he knows he just genuinely likes seeing Makoto happy. Makoto's the same way which is why, even during the times he was absolutely crying at that point from how hard he was laughing his ass off, he only sometimes told Byakuya to quit it, which was mostly in a playful and kinda whinny way cus Makoto was still losing it BAAAAD. That is not an understatement. Can also see Byakuya being a bit of a dick here by ruffling Makoto's hair or something which just makes the guy both flustered and even more giggly than before. Having said all of this though, I have a feeling Makoto finds a way the break the bastard back though. I mean, Makoto's been doing a lot of laughing! Might as well get some payback! Also payback for Byakuya freaking poking him, rubbing it in that Makoto sounds like a total loser. Nothing too lethal though. Not that Makoto could BE lethal. Just the boy trying and failing to maybe crack a joke or something but he's bad at it, regardless if he's laughing hysterically or not. The attempt is short lived though as Makoto kinda just tries to get everything back on track regarding the actual PLOT of The Bee Movie. Cus, Byakuya's actual a bit out of breath from all that Seinfeld ranting. It backfires though. They both end up in a weird conversation on how the fuck Vanessa is plowing that bee. AKA, the strangest talk they've had about anything ever up until this point... Like, it starts off as a genuine question before it just devolves into Makoto trying to end it all while covering his face, laughing hysterically while Byakuya's no better. He just keeps trying and failing to actually psycho-analyze the logistics here. Meanwhile, Makoto is lowkey squealing for him to finally quit the bit while Byakuya just keeps going. He may be out of breath from the Seinfeld rant but he is just on a roll today and nothing is stopping him. And, when everything FINALLY starts to calm down a bit, the two reflect a bit on what the fuck just happened. Oddly enough though, they're content about it. Like, the two had fun. Makoto nearly died. All is good in the world. And maybe they just cuddle after. Idk! T-T

[forbidding-souda]

byakuya and a fem s/o being all domestic? I love the way you write for him, he’s so submissive and breedable

Byakuya Togami and his fem S/O being domestic

in mod souda fashion this isn't proofread at all so take it as it is.

-Mod Souda

❤ Getting to sleep in his bed every night feels like a blessing.

❤ "Our bed." he clarifies. no togami, it's your bed and you know it.

❤ Even though sometimes he wants his alone space and to not have you all up on his body but that's fine, at least you can feel his warmth from underneath the same blanket.

❤ He keeps his glasses case on the bedside table and if you move it at all, you're cooked.

❤ If you tend to go asleep really late he's going to hate for you to wake him up.

❤ And don't even think about being on your phone in bed. Don't even think about it.

❤ When he does want you close, he likes when you hang onto one of his arms as you're sleeping. Or when you have your hand on his cheek. Simple romantic things like that.

❤ If you try to lay on him he's gonna tell you to get off him though.

❤ His favorite type of intimacy in general is wrapping his arms around you from behind and putting his head into the crook of your neck.

❤ That part of your neck is his place fr.

❤ Periods - he's not a mind reader, tell him what you want because god knows he hasn't the clue.

❤ It's not as if he's interested to talk about it either.

❤ Clothes! He's not going to wear any of yours, nice try, and he might not be too keen on you taking his either.

❤ He will make sure you know how to tie a tie. He will. He will. Mostly because to him it seems like a optimal trait, but he also just likes when you do it for him :)

❤ Chores are unnecessary, he has people to do those for you because you're not getting him to sleep in a house that is for commoners.

❤ And bro does NOT know what a dryer sheet is

❤ Being domestic with a billionaire is not for the weak.

❤ He's not gonna be charmed if you try to cook him breakfast or anything. He'll try it, definitely, but he's not giving his compliments to the chef.

❤ And I don't see you two going outside that often. He's not going to want to go on walks or trips to the park. He has formality, plus constant watchers.

❤ Something cute, though, is if you have something on the tv that he won't like, he won't complain. I can see him just leaving the room. But it's the one thing he won't complain about. He'll will just be on his computer doing work and sometimes glancing up at the screen.

❤ He won't mind having his reading time interrupted if it means he'll get a kiss.

❤ ^ Small pecks can be any time (in the house). He's much satisfied with just caressing, but kisses can be sweet, too.

❤ He doesn't take very long in the shower but his house is too bougie for you to worry about if he's taking all the hot water. He prefers the shower to be clean and the bathroom mirrors to be stainless and the counter to be shiny so if you're a cleanfreak then yesss his bathroom is a blessing. If you're messy then count your days. Just kidding but he's probably want you to do your hair / put your makeup shit in a separate bathroom.

❤ Hotel rooms away from his house are the sweetest. Sure he can get penthouses and the expensive ass resorts, but he can make all of them feel like home. He's a little less organized in those places. He'll leave his suit jackets draped over the back of a chair, and he'll let the droplets in his after-shower hair drip onto the tiled floor.

❤ ^ You love hotels because you are more likely to get to see him with a tower wrapped around his waist wowowowow.

❤ I'm rambling sorry.

❤ Erm yes imagine the cute things like him feeding you, letting you comb his hair, brushing your teeth together in the morning, all the usual romantic like that. That's the good shit fr.

❤ is this what you wanted anon I hope so

what pet names they would call you (&etc).

⇢ users 。✑ ichigo, uryuu, yumichika, ukitake, byakuya.   ⠀ M!READER.

⇢ contents&warnings 。✑ fluffy headcanons, i guess. ⠀   can be read as gender neutral, possible ooc.

✶ ichigo kurosaki!

he’s very cookie cutter tbh

bro would probably stick to calling you “baby, babe,” & variations of those for the most part

(timeskip wise) but since he’s been overseas for uni, he’d also slip in an endearment from another language and it makes you melt the most. it just sounds too perfect coming from his lips; the acute fondness since you were the only person in the world who got to hear those words was a truth that made you weak (so ofc he’d use that to his advantage sometimes lmao).

i feel like a favorite of his would be “honey,” namely because it’s simple, sweet and kinda flows out naturally from him. it especially shows once you two settle down.

still though, he’d mostly just call you by your name overall because he thinks that’s endearing in itself & he has absolutely no qualms about saying your name at any given time

now with calling him pet names, though一he’d love it. whether you do it frequently or it’s a rarity, he loves hearing whatever pet name you decide to call him (he’d find himself cherishing them more if you rarely call him by anything other than his name).

✶ uryuu ishida!

he’s one i think would hesitate at first to call you any pet name, it doesn’t matter. but the longer you stay together, the pet names and nicknames just start pouring.

he’d probably call you something specific like “darling, sweetheart,” & the like, though usually accompanied with your name.

but, but, but一he would most definitely call you endearing terms in german. honestly, they’re probably his go-to lmao. they just ooze the most sweetness, and he barely ever stuck to just saying the same one. some would have deliberate meanings that described smth you do or things along those lines. it was literally a soft spot for you.

if you try to reciprocate and use any little endearing or playful german name for him, he’d be so smitten i’m so deadass. but anything you say, though, will make him fall for you even more. he just loves that you consider him so dear (lmao that could be something he calls you, too).

✶ yumichika ayasegawa!

definitely doesn’t hold back when it comes to pet names. he’ll call you “sugar, honey, pudding,” & all because he thinks the sweetest things of you, so he would like to think they describe you perfectly.

he’d slip in a “darling, sweetheart,” or a “love,” here and there as well because he has to keep it classy sometimes.

but he would actually call you shit like “snookums,” just to mess with you.

(however, that was in the beginning一you can totally tell it’s transformed from pure irony into something that he genuinely loves to call you by now)

actual name to pet name ratio is solid; he had no preference on what to call you, it all just depends on what his mind decides for him the moment he thinks of you.

if you call him any pet names, ofc a very obvious weakness would be ones where you compliment his looks (like “pretty boy, handsome, doll”). but anything you deem special enough to call him will make his heart swell, and it’s the same the other way around.

✶ jushiro ukitake!

he’s a sweet old man so he’d stick to things like “sweetie, love,” and “dumpling, pumpkin.”

he was already very affectionate & open with you so it didn’t take bro long to get comfortable enough to say pet names at all. there are some days where he finds himself saying them more than your name simply because of the way you tend to respond to them.

he’s so soft for you he wouldn’t even dare to pick a favorite, he just likes being sweet on you and calling you anything that feels right.

calling you pet names just comes so naturally to him and you love him so much that you even love the ones he comes up with that may be a tiny bit weird.

but when you call him anything endearing, it results in him gushing on the inside. to hear something so intimate come from you, whether it be simple in some other’s eyes, is adorable in his.

✶ byakuya kuchiki!

now, in the beginning he would definitely struggle the most with calling you anything other than your name. but once the man relaxes and you both open up to each other, he was taken.

you cherished each word he said anyways, but for pet names? since they were so rare to hear from him, you clung on to each and every one of them.

every soft-spoken “dove, angel,” every little “sunshine, beautiful,” that was delivered with a smile.

it was [chef’s kiss] to you

but his favorite? it had to be either “my love,” or “my beloved,” heavy on the latter. it was his immediate go-to and it was a tiny way of showing how near and dear you are to his heart.

if you call him any pet names, let’s just say he’d enjoy it in secret. there were only a few times where he showed how much your little names for him affected him & it was gorgeous to see (you teased him for it).

☆ : mfw i decide to actually go through with this idea knowing good and damn well that i despise the shit outta pet names

i feel like it’s so obvious when i kinda (emphasis on kinda) found my footing after ichigo’s part. but i do hope that my struggle to finish this wasn’t that apparent as well.

also, i couldn’t remember if ichigo just went to the states for college or if he went somewhere else (so just imagine he knows a bunch of languages if i’m wrong, sorry).

but bleach needs more male readers bc there are too many hot men in it for there not be thousands of fics likeeee.

anyways, this is lame as fuck but i hope someone enjoys

[recurring-polynya]

It's been over a year, and I'm still never not thinking about the fact that that Hihiou Zabimaru was one man's unsuccessful forty-year project to beat Kuchiki Byakuya in particular. And, like, that sounds so pathetic and depressing, but it's really not! For one, the fact that Hihiou Zabimaru is designed to fight against Senbonzakura means that they also fight really well together, in the sense that they are both useful in the same conditions, and they cover for each other's weaknesses (Senbonzakura is faster, Zabimaru is more durable). Both of them can do offense or defense, but have trouble doing both at once. That's not a problem if Byakuya and Renji work together, and gives them a lot of flexibility.

Sometimes the way to defeat a sword is to create its opposite, but in this case, they're actually pretty similar, and if you think about the skills needed to wield them, they're very similar. For all that Byakuya and Renji butted heads in the Soul Society Arc, they get their shit sorted out pretty well, and by the TYBW, I think they have one of the best captain-lieutenant fighting partnerships, in terms of communication, trust, and sweet combo moves (Hitsugaya-Matsumoto is the other one that comes close, imo).

My thesis of this Tumblr post is that I think Byakuya spent a lot of time mentoring Renji, and the development of his bankai, specifically. From the first moment he sees it, Byakuya comments that Hihiou Zabimaru is Good, Actually.

He then immediately identifies how to defeat it:

I simply love whenever one slightly older Bleach character who is fighting a younger one cannot stop themself from giving battle tips and general life advice to their opponents (Ikkaku and Renji both do this to Ichigo and then Byakuya does this to Renji). I'm sure you could chalk it up to shounen manga using its characters as mouthpieces to explain what's going on, but in my mind and in my heart, it's because these dudes just love teaching!!! And you know why Byakuya was able to pinpoint Renji's weakness, just, immediately? Because that was him. You think Ginrei didn't do exactly this same thing to him a thousand times when he was learning to use Senbonzakura Kageyoshi?? (oh shit oh FUCK it's literally The Dodge all over again).

Anyway, you will never convince me that Byakuya doesn't love the fact that Renji picked him as his Favored Enemy and then went ahead and developed the Most Fun Bankai Possible for Senbonzakura Kageyoshi to Fight.

Just today, I realized that, while So-oh Zabimaru might represent Renji moving on from his rivalry with Byakuya, they also contain a very visible aspect of Byakuya's influence: the hand movement.

I'm not gonna lie, mostly I wanted to make this post because the idea of post-Blood War Byakuya and Renji sparring in bankai and waving their arms around like they're casting wizard spells is extremely hilarious to me. Do you think Byakuya could shape his petals into a giant hand so they can magically arm-wrestle? (RIP Komamura, this could have been you)

All jokes aside, though, the idea that it took Byakuya's help for Renji to learn to use The Grabby Arm--the thing that allows him to close distance, the thing that allows him to hold on to the things that matter to him--is honestly kinda poignant.

[monokumafightclub]

I have no idea if you done Genocide Jack for that ask game or not

i have not, but better late than never! bonus toko as well bc why not

Sexuality Headcanon: obviously syo presents herself as a boy-liker and boy-killer, feels like she might be bi after her experiences with komaru, eventually settles on pan. toko insists that she's straight, but she's prob more bi than anything (once again, after the komaru thing). Gender Headcanon: toko rings off as cis female to me, syo probably doesn't give a shit especially when she goes by so many gendered names/nicknames in true crime circles that sticking to one is just too much effort. so agender/genderfluid on syo's part, probably? A ship I have with said character: syomaru and tokomaru, obviously. :'D admittedly i do enjoy syomaru a lil more than tokomaru, if mostly because i feel like they could've been showcased a bit more in UDG. that, and the shenanigan potential with syo and komaru is endless, i want silly casual antics with these two!! A BROTP I have with said character: i feel like syo and kotoko would be good friends, given the proper opportunity? i think she'd be a good guardian for kotoko! as for toko, i'm kinda growing to have a fondness for her and either aoi or sakura, if only toko would give either of them a chance, dangit!! A NOTP I have with said character: for the sake of both syo and toko, keep byakuya several leagues away from them. that being said, i do like syo fucking around with him just to piss him off. also people shipping syo and toko romantically is kinda weird, i don't like it A random headcanon: syo knows how to work with sheet metal and refuses to elaborate how or why. post-UDG, toko and komaru are attempting to collab on a novel together. key word being attempting. General Opinion over said character: even during the somethingawful LP days, i loved toko and syo and that love still holds strong even now. syo's a very fun character, but even beyond that, she adds some interesting facets to toko's character even if she wasn't exactly handled the best in her inception. as for toko, i'm probably one of the few people who did like her even before UDG; comedic assholes are my weakness. i do agree toko felt like she wasn't really fully utilized in DR1's main story though, so it's nice she got some expansion in UDG, as well as a genuine friend. ;o;

obviously there's people more qualified than i am in talking about them (esp in regards to their histories, their arc in UDG, and the whole DID thing), but i can still appreciate syo and toko as characters even if i can't articulate all the more complicated stuff regarding them.

also i REALLY enjoy seeing fun and fluffy stuff with syo, and your animations are a fantastic example of that! yandere/yangire stuff is kinda overplayed, so it's really nice seeing silly stuff with the silly serial killer!

On the left is my friend’s, @joutei's, character Moesashi (Sachi-chan), and on the right is my character Luis (Lu). I struggled a bit drawing these two because I hadn’t a clear image of Sachi-chan’s appearance (and her clothes) and Lu’s hair was just a pain in the butt to draw! Dx But in the end I think I managed to draw these two in a way that was portrayed between my friend’s and mine RP. These two side characters have appeared thus far really little, but I still have a soft spot for them and the dynamic between the two. I think they both make a really cute couple, despite Lu appearing quite a bishounen. (One day their children will be extra beautiful!) Plus, while Sachi-chan is the couple’s brains, Lu is the couple’s heart/hairstylist. (Yes, he just loves making peoples’ hair and such.)

Extra information about the couple:

Moesashi alias Sachi-chan: She got her name from her father which means ember. Her name comes from the fact that her father is Fire itself’s sword spirit, Sachi-chan has some fire powers. (As she shakes her head or such, small embers will drop from her hair.) Yet her dominant power is time because her mother is Time Lady. Her nickname on other hand means child of joy.

Sachi-chan’s parents are Rayearth (from CLAMP’s Magic Knight Rayearth [I modeled him, though.]) and Tasida (my friend’s OC, based on Doctor Who series.) She is the oldest child from the couple. Her powers are strongly connected to time itself and manipulating it, but thanks to her mother’s heritage she can also turn into a cat which her father doesn’t like. Her father is a wolf and he was quite shocked when he found out his wife and daughter could turn into cats because Tasida never told Rayearth. He still adores his daughter but wishes he would get one more daughter that would be able to turn into a wolf, just like Sachi-chan’s all 23 brothers. Because of that her powers concerning fire are rather weak, she is barely even able to make flames while her brothers have gained the gift of fire.

She has mostly got her looks from her mother, but she has somewhat colors from her father. Her eyes are like mini-galaxies which I tried to portray in this picture, thus making her eyes beautiful. Her hair is always flowing and her style is quite airy yet elegant. She likes to wear beautiful things and let Lu style her long hair.

Sachi-chan travels in time along with her parents and brothers via TASIDA, visiting various timelines, planets, and universes, but her favorite timeline is the one where Lu is, apparently. This makes things a bit complicated between the duo because while Sachi-chan travels back and forth in time she has to make sure she is always meeting Lu that fits the same age as she is currently. But luckily the duo has managed to find the balance between things, plus it helps greatly that Lu just so happens to be a vampire.

~~~

Luis alias Lu: He belongs to one of the few remaining pure-blooded vampires, meaning his both parents are vampires, which shows the true love between his parents. (Note; in my headcanon and there is why in our rp vampires cannot have children unless they truly love each other.) Thanks to that fact and the fact his parents’ high status, he belongs in vampire society quite high. Not as high as nobles, but quite high. His mother is called a Priestess who is basically the high priest of all vampires and is in the same status as all noble vampires who are basically royals among vampires. (Priestess is based on Tomoyo from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and is actually her other self, but she is still a fan character of mine.) Lu’s father is called Lord who is a noble vampire. (He is based upon Byakuya from Bleach and is actually his other self.) Because Lu’s parents are based upon Byakuya and Tomoyo they share similarities in personality- and appearance-wise but are still their own people and full vampires.

Lu is in vampires' age teenager at the moment, but in the human age, he is extremely old. He will still age a bit before he will hit the vampire system to a point where he seemingly doesn’t age in normal humans’ eyes. In personality-wise Lu is really kind person and pacifist, but he is ready to protect his mother, Sachi-chan, and everyone with who he is friends fiercely. For combat, he uses pair of scissors or barber knives that he keeps in his coat’s pockets. He doesn’t like using his long nails when in combat.

He has got his looks mostly from his father, but he has his mother’s purple eyes which turn gold when he is showing his vampire side. He did grow his hair almost waist long at one point because he thought it would be nice to do all kinds of different hairstyles with his hair which lead him to become a hairstylist. He has a huge fetish that comes toward people’s hair, which basically means he loves to touch people’s hair and style those out which has made some people scared of him. (He doesn’t mean anything bad with this.) His style is between comfortable and hipster because he wears anything that his mother would make for him or anything that he thinks looks stylish, even though those wouldn’t match with everything else he is wearing. Despite this, he still has a good eye when comes to dressing to impress when wanted.

~~~

So there was something about the duo! I really like how Sachi-chan’s eyes and hair turned out and Lu’s too! I admit finishing this took more than enough time because I lost the inspiration to draw this a few times… oops! But luckily this drawing is now finished. 😊

[more-than-a-princess]

"What the-," Byakuya sputtered as the other two women looked on. "Unhand me this instant, Yaguchi! You have no authority to treat me like this, I am part of the Future Foundation!" The words fell on deaf ears, mostly as Mikan had busied herself to supply pain killers through Sonia's IV: considering her friend's level of distress, she needed something that would work far more quickly than a pill. And after her weekly meeting with Byakuya Togami, she deserved it. Only a few of the Remnants of Despair were assigned to meet with Byakuya Togami: the former members of Class 77-B that Kyoko and Aoi couldn't handle, or that Makoto didn't have time for as he mentored Hajime Hinata and awaited Nagito Komaeda's awakening.

But Sonia soon wouldn't be the only one in distress: Byakuya had, rather unsuccessfully, attempted to free himself from Yaguchi's grip, grasping for what he thought would be her weak spots based on combat research and the limited experience he had years ago. But he'd said it himself: she was a drug addict, so hopeless that she was exiled to Jabberwock Island and now, as his head hit the sheet vinyl flooring, he wished she'd been imprisoned instead. Someone too dangerous to society to be allowed to let loose. It was likely why Munakata had made the decision to send her to stay with the former Remnants of Despair: if they felt compelled to kill, they could destroy each other and solve several problems at once. It was also why, though that foolish and irritable woman couldn't see it, that he was intent on sending Sonia Nevermind home to Novoselic as soon as possible: she was less likely to be murdered by her own people, with their riots and burnings and raucous protests, than her former classmates, whom they were all desperately trying to keep from snapping back into mindsets of despair.

Rather like the way Yaguchi did now, though his head swirled with stars before his vision turned fuzzy: when she'd hit him in the head, his glasses had been knocked askew, scattering across the floor. It wasn't the first time: the tutors his mother had hired to ensure he'd never be a failure. The competition he'd been trained for. The day he emerged victorious. He channeled his focus on those: Yaguchi wanted to see him in pain. He wouldn't give the barbarian the satisfaction.

Until her next punch was delivered swiftly to his nose, the contact making a familiar 'crack!' "You...you uncouth plebeian! YOU BROKE MY NOSE!" He shouted, loud enough for the entire hospital to hear. Blood gushed from the wound, just as it had during the Togami Battle Royale: an older brother who had lifted weights as often as he lifted a pen to write a check had punched his youngest sibling squarely in the nose, breaking it before Byakuya had managed to outsmart him in Togami Family Trivia, his brother having bet the entirety of his bank account in order to take Byakuya down (for good measure, he'd broken his brother's arm as payback). At the time, he'd been attended to by the top plastic surgeon in Japan. Now, it would prove a tedious expense to drag the best physician they could find to Jabberwock Island in order to treat him properly. It wasn't as if he could leave: not with Sonia Nevermind in her pathetic, lovesick state, and Yaguchi out for his blood.

He wheezed at the sharp kick to his stomach and her whispers, choking back blood and the desire to cry out in pain as he narrowed his icy stare at her. Maybe less foreboding without his glasses, but he could still make out the red blur of her hair. "Posturing myself...in front of Kyoko Kirigiri, I do not bow to anyone," He hissed. He had won that right, fair and square, when he'd become the head of the Togami Family. "Succumbing to your violent urges, Yaguchi...that is what makes you a loser, not a real fighter. I will keep on fighting for the sake of the Future Foundation, and for Hope, and I will win. Don't forget that, Yaguchi..." He breathed deeply, suppressing a groan. The bitch likely bruised his ribs. "I always win."

For the meantime though, he'd have to contend with Kirigiri, who apparently had enough on her hands with Hajime and Kazuichi, and their need of additional tools to more efficiently revive their friends. In Sonia's room, Mikan had ensured the chaos had died down: the IV medication had done its work and she now encouraged Sonia to eat bits of rice porridge and peeled slices of, appropriately enough, oranges. Sonia hadn't had the energy to fight her, but both girls cast their eyes towards Shinobu upon her return. Mikan's out of concern, Sonia's with a more solemn expression.

Mikan awkwardly chuckled at the prospect of Togami treating them better in the future, but Sonia frowned, her solemn look turning to one of displeasure. "I highly doubt that, and I am the only one here who must report directly to him whilst on Jabberwock Island," She said flatly. When she once would've treated the situation delicately, refraining from saying anything at all if she couldn't say anything kind, Sonia instead explained the reality of the situation. Byakuya Togami couldn't take his frustration out on Mikan, or Yaguchi. But he could take it out on her, more than he already did with her pushback of his rehabilitation and future plans for her. In short, Yaguchi had, in the past five minutes, likely made her existence more complicated and frustrating on Jabberwock Island than it ever had before.

Something Mikan too realized but didn't want to point out. What she could do, however, was try to soften the blow. "I-I'll go see what I can do for Togami-san," She finally squeaked, giving the other women a nod. "Maybe I can set his nose. I will check on you later, Sonia-san."

Once she'd left, Sonia set the tray of half-eaten porridge aside on the bedside table. For all of Teruteru's skills, even he didn't have the ingredients on the island to make it taste palatable. She leaned back against the fluffed and propped pillows (another thanks to Mikan) and, in the face of Shinobu's weak smile, she looked away instead, towards the window and its view of the sea. The medication, temporarily at least, kept a migraine away due to the bright sunlight. "It occurs to me," She began gently, "That there are two broken hearts in this hospital room. I am sorry for your loss. You must have loved her very much, and she was fortunate to have you by her side."

It was about as much compassion as she could muster, the lingering thought of facing Byakuya Togami once he'd healed a bit, and she'd healed a bit, still fresh in her mind. Physically they'd be on the mend: emotionally, for as much as he was capable of having emotions beyond snobbery and ambition, was another story. If anything, he'd be more driven to see the Future Foundation succeed, for his projects to succeed. And she, Sonia knew well enough, was the most important project there was: she was the only one left with worthwhile connections to the past, the only one of the Remnants poised to be of any use to the Togami Corporation and the Future Foundation, where assets were concerned.

If she could only survive to be of use to him, to them, to anyone. She pulled her uninjured leg up and against her chest beneath the white bedsheets, wrapping her arms around it and setting her chin upon her bent knee. It was incredible: the world had endured a near-armageddon from Ultimate Despair, and both before and after the events that had altered the course of history, the only use she was to anyone was as a royal, putting the royal family and the country first before all else. Terrorism and genocide would plague Novoselic, but the monarchy would still stand. Whether she liked it or not: she never had a choice in it anyway.

She found him unimpressive. The posturing, the superiority, even the stepping closer as if his meager height advantage meant anything tangible. Shinobu's assessment of him had not changed. Byakuya Togami was little more than a walking bank, to be used as needed. Did he not understand that much? Oh, indeed, his money had financed her weapons, because without people like her, he would be another casualty - a corpse in a fine suit. It had been for people like Tengan, and Munakata, and even Naegi that things had worked out with any kind of positivity. Togami and his family's company were just tools. Was he really so self-important as to not see that?

They were content to let him speak as he liked. If it got his attention away from Sonia, that was good enough, and though he had a sharpness to his tongue, he was flailing about with it, failing to touch anything important. Until Seiko. Her teeth ground against one another, face scrunched up into a scowl. What a wretched thing to say, to speak so callously towards someone who seldom had a bad word to say about anyone, and who had given her life for their shared cause. Was that an acceptably low position to which to stoop?

Shinobu's mouth was dry as they swallowed. What saliva was left in her mouth had a spiky, acrid taste, like battery acid mixed with the metallic tang of blood. Despite standing still, their heart was beating fast and loud, thumping audible between their ears. The doctors had told her, after Seiko's death, that the chemical agent used to boost her adrenaline far past its usual levels had bonded with her adrenal glands and contributed greatly to the new normal that was her existence. Without her supplements, Shinobu's body couldn't sustain that hormonal flush for long, and without life-threatening combat, there was no reason on the island to be concerned. Yet that familiar taste in her mouth was the clearest of indications.

"You're right, Miss Tsumiki." There was a coldness in Shinobu's tone - the easiest affect she could leap to when her body was flooding with combat-ready hormones - though she hoped it wouldn't be taken badly. "This is a hospital - a place for healing, first and foremost. Togami and I won't disturb you further. Please accept our collective regret for the intrusion." Everything was burning. Her fist roughly balled the fabric of his shirt and tie together, yanking him out the door after her with near-superhuman strength, the door pushed closed behind them.

A few steps into the lobby, far enough away that any sounds wouldn't clearly reach inside of Sonia's room, she slammed him to the floor and pinned him. The sensible thing would be to back off, try to relax, allow this to wash over her, but if Shinobu had only a short while before fatigue set in, she wanted to take advantage of it. Before saying anything at all, she lifted his neck with another yank at his clothing, before delivering a punch straight to his forehead, such that the back of his head would bounce off the hard floor. I want it to hurt, Togami. I want you to bleed. Experience one tiny piece of the pain, and the fear, and the torment that everyone else has felt, for once in your wretched life. Pain, and fear, are such reliable equalizers.

"You're right, Togami. I'm volatile. I'm weak. I'm dangerously unstable." Another punch, lined up in such a way that she could hear the crack of his nose. "Most people would be, after being asked to kill as many people as I did for the cause. And yet you, with all the strategic insight and planning that you cling to, never thought that antagonizing that sort of person might lead to a negative outcome for you. Or did you just imagine yourself above that sort of thing?" This was the person she'd once been. Not some suave, controlled performance with cutting words and a sneering tone, but this. A beast. Uncontrollable. Loathsome. To be pitied, perhaps, but put down all the same. The JSDF could hope that that Godzilla would fight the other kaiju, that its rage and its hate could be directed, but one forgot its origins at their own peril. In the end, Tokyo always laid in ruin unless the monster was killed.

Both hands found Togami's throat, not choking him - yet, anyway - but rather using it as leverage to lift and slam his head, again, again, again. If you're not frightened of me, Togami, you should be. Your life is so fragile in my hands. "I suppose that fits with your perception of things, wouldn't it? After all, you seem to think yourself responsible for the strides that have been made, the gains we've won, the fragile peace built, mm? As though you, a spoiled child with a bad temperament, who would have died in that school had it not been for Naegi and Kirigiri and even Fukawa, had anything to do with it."

Now, her hands tightened. It would be so easy to wring the life out of him. Her mouth was radioactive, all saliva pooling on her tongue painfully bitter, and her vision had sharpened, correcting for the eye problems her glasses already corrected in the sort of narrow, hyper-vision of a predator. Did you think that I couldn't do this? This is what I did to myself to save ungrateful people like you, and you have the audacity to look down on me for it? Look down on Seiko? Aching muscles. A throbbing headache. Nausea.

"Say whatever you like about me, Togami, but understand the risk you are putting yourself at should you ever so much as whisper Seiko Kimura's name with anything other than evangelical reverence for her and the life she led." No, she didn't want to choke him. Anzu wanted that, certainly, but a corpse in the lobby could be upsetting to Miss Tsumiki, and there was no reason to put her through more hardship today, not when she'd already reached her breaking point. Her fingers eased, though she gave Togami's head another slam against the floor, for her own satisfaction.

"And another thing, Togami. I have precious little to live for. You know that, don't you? I'm sure you have some wonderfully snide comment about it, and your life is worth more than my own. You should be more careful with it." She moved liked an animal over him, knee digging into his abdomen, some wretched thing pouring over its freshest kill, until her lips were at his ear for Togami to hear her whispers. "So understand this, Togami. Speak to me in that tone again, or speak poorly of Seiko, and I'll kill you. Neither money nor consequences will keep me from that." Standing up, she worked her shoe under his back, before delivering a kick to his ribs to roll him over to his stomach. "Kirigiri is coming soon. Give her a proper bow of apology when she arrives, won't you? Surely that's the least you can do, after the trouble you've caused."

The desire was there, vicious and hungry, to stomp on his neck, to slam herself upon his spine until it shattered, to reach for a scalpel or knife and find the places that would hurt the most. She could smell the scent of burning bodies, hear the agony in moaning voices as some of her fellow agents laid in pieces, their forms twisted and torn from shrapnel and machine gun fire. It was the lucky ones who died quickly, while those less fortunate found themselves playthings for the whims of despair. If Togami considered himself above that sort of suffering, it was the archer's red-tinted desire to drag him down into it until it enveloped him as it did them. She could regret what she'd done later.

Instead, Shinobu walked to the sink as though nothing at all had happened, scrubbing with soap until their hands were clean and splashing water onto their face until it cooled. There wasn't anything to be done about her suit - there were a few splats of blood on her jacket, her shirt, her tie. It couldn't be helped, she thought as she quietly re-entered Sonia's room, closing the door to spare the women the sight. "Again, Miss Tsumiki, and Miss Nevermind as well, I regret that Togami-san and I caused you trouble." She returned to her chair in Sonia's room, slumping into it with an exhausted sigh, her muscles burning. Without the cocktail of drugs to balance her out, the cost of such excessive adrenaline outweighed its benefits. To let herself get so heated again wouldn't be good for her own recovery, and while she imagined Munakata would be sympathetic to her actions, if not her motivation, it would be unwise to put herself in another situation like this in the future.

"I won't let it happen again." Then again, she'd made a threat, and threats weren't worth the air it took to speak them if not adequately followed up on. What did it say about her that the idea of killing Togami was unpleasant, but no more unpleasant than any other unpleasant thing? In some sort of twisted way, it was a kind reminder, to feel that her body wasn't entirely useless - that she could still do the one thing anyone had asked of her in recent years. "Well, I'm glad being an irredeemable monster sits well with you, Shinobu-chan. All that angsty hand-wringing about not wanting to hurt anyone was just for your own mental masturbation, huh? You're horrible for enjoying this." "Although, I do hope Togami-san is more pleasant with the both of you in the future. Unlikely, perhaps, but... hope, and all that." Weary, her head feeling heavy upon her shoulders, Shinobu looked to Sonia, forcing the faintest, weakest of smiles - not much, but better than she'd managed in weeks - in an attempt to reassure her of... something, she supposed. "In the immediacy, though, if either of you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."

More on dragging my bestie @probably-some-goat into all of my fandoms.

Tonight we started Trigger Happy Havoc and immediately had an audio glitch that made everyone at least 40% more threatening except Kirigiri who sounded like Siri.

Some Makoto A/B/O Headcanons!

Content Warnings: This is mostly general information/background, but it is an omegaverse post, so if that doesn't float your boat, totally understandable, and now is a great time to go. Don't like, don't read, ya know? Have a great day! There is some talk about heat cycles but in a pretty informative/non-sexual way. Stay safe!

Spoiler Warning for Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair

Yeah, so I do write some omegaverse stuff on occasion, but it's not my main focus, and admittedly my world isn't super developed yet or anything like that. That being said, if I get anything wrong, let me know! Here are some details about Makoto as I see them in this AU in case I ever do decide to write about it more formally!

Makoto Naegi

Omega, but occasionally gets mistaken for a beta because he doesn't particularly stand out, and his overall demeanor is a bit unassuming

That being said, their scent is pretty sweet. Snickerdoodle cookie-type beat.

There isn't too much to say background-wise; he had the same average upbringing he did in canon.

In my universe, omegas aren't really discriminated against, though roles pertaining to second genders do tend to be enforced. Overall, though, every role is considered equally important in society. Being a stay-at-home parent is just as noble an occupation as any other, and omegas are respected and honored for their capabilities in these areas. They certainly aren't seen as weak or inferior.

All that being said, Makoto never really had any grief about their dynamic. He's fine with it, and he feels pretty comfortable with the gender roles associated with it.

Some of that omega instinct really becomes apparent when it comes to other people. On a basic level, he's just really nurturing and empathic towards his friends, and he'll fight for them tooth and nail if one of them is hurting.

Omegas are scary when you piss them off :'D.

Mom friend supreme.

They pretty much always have a nest built, though theirs always consist of a (seemingly) incoherent pile of soft things all thrown together in a lump.

I headcanon him with ADHD, and nesting is just really nice when he's feeling stressed or overstimulated. There's plenty of soft things to stim with, it's quiet, and it's an environment where he controls any and all of the sensory input.

That being said, as long as they're not in mental distress or heat, they're usually pretty chill with other people (friends, family, etc.) hanging out in the nest with them. Especially other omega friends.

Speaking of which, his heats are usually pretty mild. He doesn't take suppressants of any sort; he just takes a few days off when needed and deals with it as it comes.

He just gets really clingy and seeks a lot of physical affection

When he was single, this just manifested as feeling really snuggly and tired and drawn to soft textures, but after bonding with Kyoko the clingy level shot up to a hundred

Honestly adding Byakuya to the mix made it even worse

Also, they get the hella munchies in pre-heat. Mild nausea, increased stress, and sensory issues make it really hard for them to eat enough while they're actually in heat, so it's mostly to prepare

He tries to keep this in mind and make easy, safe food snacks ahead of time to mixed success

However it works out, they tend to manage just fine

This isn't 100% related to A/B/O specifically, but Makoto is still transmasc in this AU

It causes a bit of conflict with some of their traits as an omega

For example, he does really want to have kids someday, but particularly with the occasional misconception that he's a beta, the thought can be really uncomfortable and does occasionally lead to some dysphoria

And honestly, his second gender is a blessing and a curse in this way

Yeah, it can be a negative, but it also gives him an opportunity to try to reframe things. If a particular AFAB trait is bugging him, sometimes he can try thinking about it as an omega thing instead

Obviously, this doesn't erase the problem, and sometimes it doesn't help at all, but he tries to stay positive about it. It's just one coping mechanism among many; it doesn't magically fix everything

As I mentioned before, they're bonded with Kyoko, and eventually with Byakuya, too.

I could go on for ages about how the three of them end up together

They're already bonded to her by the time they even start courting Byakuya, though

Initially, it causes some tension between Kyoko and Byakuya, but honestly, the dynamic between the three of them is even better than it was with just Kyoko and Makoto

Say what you will about two alphas sharing an omega, but when you both have family businesses per se to run and a world to rebuild, it's not the worst arrangement. Particularly since Makoto can demand a lot of attention at times

Hey, he's just a people person. Socialization is important to him

The pack instinct is strong with this one

This applies to all of class 78

Also the Remnants

Makoto took one look at them and subconsciously adopted all of them

It's part of why he's willing to go so far to help them

Oops

Like I said, omegas are scary when you piss them off. Especially when you hurt their pups

(Yes they're all a year older than him. Does he care? No.)

Honestly, I could go on all day. There's a lot of specifics I could explore, but I'll just leave it at this for now! I've simultaneously put way too much and not nearly enough thought into this AU, so I'm sure you'll hear more eventually. For now, thank you, and I hope you have a great day! <3

It's Gin's Birthday! Here are some HCs

- He made his own version of "the floor is lave!". In the Seireitei it was "the twelve worked there," while in Hueco Mundo it was "Szayelaporro spilled something here." Both times people would fly to the roof, and in both times, Gin will have a shoe thrown to his face.

- Things Gin is forbidden to touch during his pranks: Aizen's tea, Kaname's kitchen, anything that belongs to Unohana, Yumichika's hair products (a request from Kenpachi because the bitching was awful the last time it happened), anything made by the twelve division, anything made by Szayelaporro, Yachiru's candy, Soi Fon's knives, the ninth's yet to be published articles, Rangiku's makeup, Komamura's shampoo, and Jushiro's medicine (even Gin isn't heartless enough to mess with that).

- Gin's a surprisingly good cook. It makes sense once you remember that one, Kaname was one of the people who raised him, and two, he grew up with Rangiku and had to learn how to cook, or they would have died from food poisoning.

- He's an absolute fashion disaster. He wears the plainest and oversized clothes he can find. If it weren't for Rangiku, he would have the Shinigami equivalent of a closet full of hoodies. Just hoodies.

- Gin was lowkey crushed when he found out Shinji had a tongue piercing. It meant he couldn't have one of his own without people thinking he's copying his old captain.

- He's the only person in the entire world that can bring Orihime's Cain Instinct to activate. If you leave them alone in the same room, she will try to strangle him.

- He and Orihime have a fascinating dynamic because it's a battle between Orihime's ability to lower people's threatening aura and Gin's creepiness rubbing off on people. It's a pure unstoppable force v.s immovable object battle.

- Gin mostly gets sick during summer thanks to his sensitivity to heat. When they were kids, Rangiku only got sick during winter so they joked that they knew they would be screwed at the same time, so their bodies took turns of who gets to be sick this time.

- When Gin was a kid and got sick for the first time, Aizen had to trick him into taking medicine by putting them in dried persimmons. Gin understood the trick immediately and refused to ear dried persimmons whenever he was sick since then. Nowadays, a good chase around the barracks is the only way to make him take his cough drops.

- The reason why Gin refuses to take medicine is that he wants his immune system to get stronger on its own. He's constantly on survivor mod and doesn't want to become too weak and pampered. He doesn't have the same attitude when someone else gets sick though, like the hypocrite that he is.

- Jushiro once did the mistake of unexpectedly hugging a third seat Gin, awakening the latter's fight or flight instincts and Jushiro got a swift kick to the stomach as a result. No one tried to hug him since, at least not without warning.

- He has a really weird grasp on human pop culture. He gets to go to the human world on rare occasions and will try to catch a movie to pass the time if he finished his mission early. References with him are a hit and a miss.

- He also suffers from insomnia and is usually awake from one to three in the morning. He tries to do paperwork or read a book to help him fall back asleep, and takes a nap in is his office to complete some of the missing sleep.

- All of Gin's seater officers were originally from different divisions. His third was from the first, his fifth was from the eleventh and his sixth was from the sixth. They were unhappy with their positions, so Gin gave them promotions to make the transfer faster. It made his betrayal all the more painful.

- Gin is cursed with genre awareness. He knows exactly what kind of story he's in and what his role is. He figured it out around the time he became captain when Aizen was doing a Shounen protagonist version of Build a Bear with Ichigo's parents. He saw Aizen create his own downfall and thought "ah, I see. So this is where I stand." The reason why he gave Ichigo the mantel of taking down Aizen and why his last thoughts were in complete calm was because he knew he was going to fail thanks to his role as a side villain. He didn't quit with his revenge because he believed he was too far gone and understood that if he's going down, he might as well try to take the bastard that started it all with him.

(here are some "if he lived" hcs because I need to get these out of my system)

- Gin return the Gotei 13 is an uncomfortable reminder of how no one is invincible. Every time someone is like "we Shinigamis are too strong to be defeated," Gin lets out an awkward cough. This is also one of the reasons the head captain wanted him back; he knows they need Gin to remember to keep their feet on the ground.

- There are a few people (other than Rangiku and Izuru) that befriended Gin after his return:

Jushiro: Kinda felt bad for knowing Gin as a kid and not knowing how Aizen was slowly turning him into a weapon. Also, he needs more members for the Shiro club.

Shunsui: He usually goes along with whatever Jushiro's doing and this is no expectation. He was always pretty neutral about things anyway.

Nanao: She already felt like she had to give him the benefit of the doubt with how much Rangiku was happy with his comeback. They ended up bonding over picking up their drunk friends from bars.

Kenpachi: He finds Gin funny and Yachiru likes his snacks.

Unohana: They had some weird bonding and mutuals understanding as she healed him. Also, him being a captain again is a huge pain in the ass to the Central 46. That already makes her happy.

- I've already talked before about how if Gin had an inner hollow it would be a Kitsune, so I would like to add that his teeth would sharpen as a result and his hair would become softer, almost fur-like. It's because the stronger the hollow, the more one's body gets affected, almost like a type of mutation.

- Gin only broke the rules once with his restrains, and that was so Kaname could visit Kakyo's grave during her birthday.

- Even after Central 46 banned all interactions with Karakura town, Gin continued in contact with Orihime through secret burner phones. Only Rangiku and Izuru are aware of this.

- After his return, his first prank was dying all of Byakuya's clothes, furniture, and hair seaweed green. Byakuya had said something so goddamn insufferable that it snapped Gin out of his depression and straight into mischief. If Byakuya likes his Wakabe ambassador so much, Gin might as well help to bring it up to a whole new level.

- The wounds left by Aizen were so severe that Gin had to wait five years before he could get his right arm back without damaging something in the process. His prosthetic was overseen by Unohana herself to make sure no one was messing with any of the electronics.

- The first thing he did after his restraints were removed was to visit his old hut. He wanted to see it one last time before letting go of the past for good.

I’ll Keep You Safe

Angst Prompt 46 with Makoto Naegi!

link to the prompt list!

◇         ◆         ◇         ◆        ◇         ◆         ◇         ◆         ◇         ◆         ◇

his voice was so...loud.

“[Y/n], you could have DIED because of your recklessness!” he yelled, brows furrowing in frustration and worry.

did you even understand what you did?

.

.

.

.

.

the Future Foundation was scouting another place taken by despair, and the 14th division was in charge of securing the area. in the small district was Kyoko, you, Makoto, Byakuya and a few others.

however, no one knew that the people of the region was armed with guns.

normally, all power was shut off in cities, which caused any electric-powered appliances to be dead--including the factories that were producing bullets. however, the bastards were making their own ammunition by reusing the bullet shells they had fired previously, and making new shells by hand.

which was terrible for district 14.

you, Makoto and Byakuya had been cornered and scattered away from the rest of the group, hiding behind knocked over cars as you ran to find the people you had split up with,

“Naegi,” Byakuya had pulled out a pistol, cocking the head as it clicked the bullets into place, “take this and get [Y/n] out of here. the rest of the group should be with Kyoko at the northwestern bridge.”

Byakuya threw a spare gun at Makoto, the small brunette hesitant to catch it as his face contorted into a panicked expression, “Togami--!”

“you don’t think we should use guns, i know. i’m not stupid,” he sighed, trying to get a good look at the people on the other side of the street, “but we have no choice. we either get shot or get shot while fighting back. these people aren’t going to listen right now.”

Makoto bit his lip, hands trembling with the pistol in his hand. he grabbed your wrist, making a worried face while looking behind him, running off with you in his sights, “meet up with us later! the alleyway a block away from here loops around, so you should be fine if you go through there!”

his yelling had stopped when Byakuya only gave him a grin, as if he were stupid for not thinking of this outcome. his expression told the smaller man who had you in his grasp, “you can count on it”.

“Makoto! is it okay to leave him alone like that?!” you were trying to keep up with the small boy’s fast pace, “there are so many of them--”

despite your running and protests to go and get Byakuya back, Makoto had the plan to believe in his blonde friend and do his best to keep you safe. you will be safe, he knows you will. he believes in Byakuya to come back, as well. alive.

however, it became a problem when the people of the city had cornered both you and the man. once again, you were both behind a flipped over car, not knowing if the other people would shoot the car to blow up or not.

“Makoto!” you screamed, voice full of worry as your eyes darted towards a person with a crossbow behind him.

Makoto being Makoto, he hadn’t seen or felt any signs of danger despite it being right in front of him, and before he knew it, you had jumped to save him. your arms had wrapped around his head as your upper arm took the blow for him, a cry of pain leaving your lips as the arrow dug into your skin, breaking it as pink leaked from your opened limb.

your arms heavily trembled around him, and as you both fell to the ground his luck had made him shoot the intruder in the leg, the said person falling to the ground with a load groan.

as soon as he registered what had just happened, worry and dread had filled his chest as his eyes widened from your constant moans of pain.

“[Y/N]!”

your body laid on the smaller male’s, mind going blank--body going limp. it was hard to differentiate reality and fiction and whether or not there were two Makotos or one.

the last thing you remembered before blacking out was saying, “tell Byku toooo take it easy on you when he--uhhhh--scoldss you, mmm.”

.

.

.

.

so you supposed after waking up, and telling everyone that you were okay, his reaction was normal for a coworker who survived a killing game with you.

“Naegi, what did i tell you to do?!” you could hear Byakuya’s voice radiate irritation, a hint of anger and worry. it made a proud(smug) feeling swell within your chest.

“i didn’t-- i didn’t see it, Togami! i really didn’t know what--”

“Naegi, i think you need to calm down first,” a calm, cool and chilling voice filled your ears, making your face twitch into a small smile.

the blonde male let out a sigh, and you could hear his footsteps get farther away from the bed you were laying on.

“Togami, where are you going?!”

“i don’t need to deal with your recklessness more than i already have. i’m leaving.”

the door closed shut, though there was an obvious anger in the closing of the door as Togami left. Kirigiri gave a small sigh at the other male’s childish action, gently placing a hand on Naegi’s shoulder.

“don’t pay any mind to Togami,” she told him, noticing your eyes staring at the both of them, “he’s just frustrated--we all are. it hasn’t been long since the killing game ended, and we’re... we’re scared of losing them as much as you are, Naegi.”

the short boy nodded slowly, avoiding eye contact with the tall, purple-haired woman in front of him. he knew everyone was scared, he was scared. he was frustrated he couldn’t help you, he felt helpless for making you protect him instead of him protecting you.

you had... gotten hurt because of him. he could have done so much more to help you, and yet...

“i’ll leave you two alone,” Kirigiri’s voice had interrupted his guilty conscience, and his head had turned around to your laying down body and open eyes, his hazel ones starting to gloss up with tears, “take your time, Naegi.”

soon, the clacking of the detective’s heels had also left the room, the sound of the door sliding shut had noted that, now, both you and Makoto were in the infirmary. alone.

alone... he thought, gulping down the fluids that were wetting the inside of his mouth as he bit his lip and his brows furrowed.

he always liked being with you. you’d produce the fluttering feeling in his stomach that he didn’t mind, or make his heart race with joy and excitement. most times, he could hide the growing heat on his face, his face always flushing a slight pink when around you.

the thought of you two alone had not calmed his invasive feelings, it had only fueled them--making his heart thump with happiness and having his emotions take over his brain.

however, right now, his ever-growing feelings for you was the last thing on his mind, teeth clenching down on each other as he stared at you, obvious worry in the eyes of the short, brown-haired male.

“why...” he was nervous to start anything, just wanting to hold you--mostly to comfort himself and to remind himself that you were okay, but for our well-being as well. he just wanted to reassure you that everything would be okay and that you were...safe now.

“what--” a nervous laugh, “what happened after i passed out..?” you asked, hand going to the bandaged wound on and gently brushing your fingers on it before your hand went towards your head with a playful sigh.

you were nervous. Makoto did not seem happy.

“i-- well-- you--” he let out a quick breath, upset he couldn’t even form a sentence in front of you--he supposed that’s just how upset he was, “after you-- after you passed out, rubble had crushed the person who shot you and i carried you back to the bridge. after meeting up with Kyoko, we had you treated as much as possible before Byakuya arrived and when he did, we got you properly treated here.”

he inhaled slowly, trying to get all the worry nerves out of his body. he couldn’t help it, though-- the fact that he could have lost you...

“but why did you--! why did you do that?! you could have gotten seriously hurt or-- or even worse--” his breathing was irregular and fast, his hands getting clammy as his eyes started to water.

his voice was so...loud.

“[Y/n], you could have DIED because of your recklessness!” he yelled, brows furrowing in frustration and worry.

did you even understand what you did?

if you had died because of him-- if you had died because he was so... ignorant, he wouldn’t live past it, ever. he’s loved you before the killing game, during the killing game and after. how could he... cope with being the reason you had died..?

“and-and... it would have been because of..me....” he cried, voice cracking from the tension in his throat and the large tears that threatened to fall from his eyes.

“you’re so..!” he threw his hands up and into his hair, frustration finally taking over as his eyes widened and filled with a conflict of emotions, “IMPULSIVE!”

“...”

“...”

“you flinched...” his voice was weak; small..soft. the tears that had swelled up in his eyes had finally fell.

“Makoto-”

“NO! nonononono, you know i wouldn’t--” he started breathing heavy, full of worry as his arms fell down, approaching you. his small hands cupped your face with gentle, comforting care, “i would never--ever try to hurt you, i’m..” he pressed his lips into a thin line, a frown taking shape, “i’m so sorry...”

your hands rested on top his as you looked up at hims from a sitting position, a small, forgiving smile on your face, “Makoto... it’s fine, really.”

he cursed under his breath, holding you close in his tight embrace. his arms had wrapped around you protectively, shaking just the slightest bit.

he.. didn’t know you’d react like that. although, he wasn’t surprised, since he did know how that felt. when you survive a killing game and all, you don’t know who could...stab your back. both figuratively and literally.

but he-- he never wanted you to think that he would hurt you. he wanted you to trust him and believe in him and love him, like he loved you. for everyone else, it was so hard to believe that someone like Makoto could hurt anybody, but if you... if it was you, he knew it could have been different.

“i’m... i’m so sorry, i didn’t mean to-- to scare you or make you think i was going to... to..!” he couldn’t even say it, parting from the secure hug as his expression washed over his features.

he was a small, sobbing, hiccuping mess. it would have been cute if you weren’t the cause of it, but you found it endearing that he cared for you so much.

he sniffled, taking the handkerchief out of his pocket and wiping his face with it, “i’m sorry,” he repeated, guilt washing over him, “you know i--”

your hand had taken the cloth away from his face, lips coming into contact with his. a gentle, warm, fluttering feeling had entered his stomach, face flushing a bright red as he indulged himself in the... the kiss.

his eyes were widened in a flustered shock. frozen and not knowing what to do, he stuttered, “wh-wha-what--what was--”

he was breathless, his unnerving breathing had become a bit more steady as you parted from your touching lips, and his hand had went to touch where your mouth had previously been in disbelief.

he looked at you, and you smiled, “it’s... okay. seriously, i just... need to get used to things being so calm and peaceful. it’s... weird to adapt to things being so.. normal--ish.” you laughed, a nervous smile on your face as he gulped down his words.

he gently held you again, head burying into your neck as he whispered to himself words that you might not hear...

i’ll keep you safe, he told himself, i will definitely...keep you safe.

Naegamigiri/Naegirigami/Tonaegiri/THE DETECTIVE TRIO IS TRIO-ING & I'M BLABBERING ABOUT THEM

Just a little bit of disclaimer time!

New series dropped! Gonna rant and ramble about these three as a unit. I got so much to say so like, why the hell not! Also, the premise of this specific rambling session is mostly a joke but also I am spitting SOME facts. I think... Then again, I've said this many times but these are just my silly little interpretations so there's that too! Also, as always, spoiler warning.

Did I say that ever before...?

I don't remember but uh... yeah. Spoiler warning for Trigger Happy Havoc,

Also, new development. I finally looked at all of Kyoko’s Free Time Events! Yup, that's right! I have officially delved into someone else's FTE instead of just all of Byakuya's WOOP WOOP!

And damn it. Damn it! I love her more now. Cus, with the added “Kyoko FTE Lore” context, I feel bad for her even more. Girl already has it the worst with the memory loss. In the FTE's though, the areas of her memory loss are at full display here. For instance, when she tries to recall her old school or her father. Like, there’s genuine struggle right there. She also feels she can't tell Makoto stuff about her cus she has nothing to say CUS of that memory loss and AH! My heart! Why am I so weak?!

Also like, sure, I laughed at the slight tonal whiplash of the happy music switching to the moodier, eerier music and the sound effects being way too dramatic. Like, Makoto gives her a gift, she's happy like "Ah. This is nice present. I feel pleased. How strange" and then BOOM. "Do you fear, Makoto?" Might just be the internet humor kicking in. Still feel bad for her though. But, anyway, golly. She's precious. The part where Makoto called her cute and said how he liked her smile and all like, damn!

I have joined the Naegiri nation. I get even more now T-T

Naegami’s still my main but like, I get it! I get the hype!

Also, it's not just cus he called her cute like, I explain it more a bit later but just that back and forth.

My gorl was fighting for her life!

Plus, Kyoko and Byakuya are SOOOO cut in the same cloth like, they both played a quiz on poor ol Makoto!

Though... AHEM!!!

The Naegamigiri Trio are all losers.

Makoto: He’s a bit of a dork. A bit of a silly guy even. Like, Makoto’s that kinda guy who would forget a certain word and use some weird descriptor as a substitute, but that substitute is ass and just makes him look really dumb. And it’s not like he IS dumb. Makoto’s pretty smart and all. Good with the debating and the hope speeches. What he IS is daft. A bit dense. He is an anime protagonist with a harem on his hands. Like, he's shipped with EVERYBODY.

Anyway though, he's daft but it's not like it's bad to be so. Gives him some flair at times. Bit of that salt on his baked potato existence! Some butter for his toast of a personality! Gosh, I'm being mean. It does bite the boy in the proverbial ass though which makes him a loser. The Endearing Loser though. Like, one is not all that annoyed at him for when his loser traits start acting up and he acts a bit of a fool.

Byakuya: Byakuya’s a similar case to Makoto but in the opposite direction and with all of his charisma points in the nearest sewer next to some pizza the ninja turtles started chowing down on. The heir is yet again a guy who’s rather smart. Good with money, finances, the stonks, you name it. He’s not some idiot or anything. And yet, he’s still a loser. Specifically, I’d call him a Hypocritical Loser. Like, he boosts himself up, claiming how he’s better than everyone else. He doesn’t have flaws nor make mistakes. Byakuya’s the Togami heir after all. Ultimate Perfection, people! How on earth could he be some loser. He could NEVER, right?

… right?

Yeah. Who would have thunk that he’s no better!

No one.

Like, Byakuya’s the only one in shock here. Everyone but him saw this coming. Cus no. He’s not some Ultimate Perfection. He's the Ultimate “Guy who Copes Way too Hard to Try and Save Face that He’s Not As Picture Perfect as He Claims”. And the cope is HARD which makes him even MORE of a loser because of it.

The haircut doesn't help.

Kyoko: Kyoko’s a weird case cus, in all senses of the word, no. She is not a loser. Not by a LOOOOONG shot. Both in comparison to Makoto and Byakuya as well as her class and other people in the world. For what she’s dealt with, she’s sane (for the most part), calm, and collected. Yet, one could probably argue that, because she’s associated with Makoto and extension, Byakuya, she’s a loser in her own right. Like, Makoto’s a bit of a dork and she LIKES that dork. Kyoko finds him to be a person she finds worthwhile and a person she’d wanna be with. He's endearing even.

She’s not that subtle about it either. Like GOOOOOOOSH she’s not subtle at all that she likes him or is at least interested in this little bastard. And, if she thinks she is for whatever reason, she’s on the cope train with Byakuya. Hands down. Like, one moment in one of her FTE’s, Makoto was all like "You're smile is so cute! Hiding your emotions is a waste" she legit was in shock. Like, girl was flattered by that in the moment and you can tell. Then, Makoto's like "Ah, I gotcha! You did the emotion!" And she freaks out! Then Kyoko did the uno reverse on his ass like “Aha! I outsmarted your outsmarting, Makoto!”

Like, that is so silly and so precious of her to do to him. Just, outright trolling him like that. But, her initial feeling of being flattered by the comment and that shock that he basically caught the mask slipping off was probably not a façade or anything. Music legit cuts out for a second from that shock of hers. Like, think about it! Even the happy tunes know what's up!!! Like, they dipped for a coffee brake!

Her reaction also screamed a bit of that "Kyoko.exe has stopped working" cus she had absolute no foresight that Makoto would 1. say something so pure and nice like that and, 2., meant it. Soooooo, best course of action, mess with his ass and think about the implications later. Or like, you could also see it as "freak out legitimately cus ruh roh! showed emotion! Divert! DIVERT!" Thus, she did a pivot into messing with him to cope with the fact that she legit had the mask slip and might have even been scared about that fact being the case. That this loser of a boy caught her red handed. Either that or she's a REALLY good actor but like, it depends on how ya look at it! She did still troll his ass though. The egg got folded like an omelet. Oh, snap!

Which like, that's less of loser behavior from her but like, ya know. She's got a bit of that disaster in her. Disaster bi Kyoko anyone? Disaster ace?? She's got the colors in her outfit in a sense! She could make it work. Honorary loser maybe? Dunno! I think maybe a WEE bit though. Again, Byakuya and her aren't so different and he is just a legitimate loser. Kyoko's just WAAAAY better at hiding her baggage and issues than Byakuya will EVER be.

Gosh...

I love these dorks.

[multiplefandomsblog]

hi can i request a e f and g for byakuya ? 💕 ( from the valentines day alphabet btw )

warnings; dirty talk in F, mostly sfw, kissing, 

note; :000 ITS YOU!! I GOT A RUSH OF SEROTONIN WHEN I SAW YOUR PROFILE BRO HIIIII AGAGHRGHJGJHAGJHBGHK!!! I really hope you like this!<3<3<3<3<3(sorry i took so long! i was cooking tempura :0)

A. how does your muse show affection?

Byakuya doesn’t really like showing affection in public, so he’d have to hold back the urge to kiss, hug you and just tell you how amazing he thinks you are without worrying about others judging you both. But when the door closes, the first thing he wants to do is kiss you. The kiss is pretty desperate, but still loving nonetheless.

The way he holds you send you into heaven, he can be so soft sometimes and it makes you incredibly happy. I’m unsure what Byakuya’s love language is, but I can very vividly imagine him reading a book with you and enjoying spending time with you; although he doesn’t have much time to spend, to begin with. He enjoys getting to know you better and more closely, although he would never admit that aloud. Just sitting with you in silence makes him feel strangely intimate and close to you. He doesn’t need or want much, just your company.

E. does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

Byakuya doesn’t like it when you hug him in public or without warning, he’ll end up getting extremely flustered and scolding you after he cools down from his blushy cheeks.  Byakuya much rathers you tell him beforehand that you want a hug, he doesn’t really like it when you suddenly surprise him with affection. But if you did, he wouldn’t be too mad, just surprised.

He doesn’t usually initiate hugs, he usually only does them if he really needs comfort or just needs to recharge from a busy day at work. I think his hugs would be pretty protective, in a strangely comforting way, he makes you feel safe and protected. The way he holds you is with his arms wrapped around your waist in a vice grip, sometimes a hand on the back of your head, making you unable to escape his hold. His hugs always make you feel as if everything was going to be okay :)

F. is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

Byakuya? Flirting? In all honesty... he’s absolute garbage at it and he rarely ever does it. He doesn’t flirt or compliment people because he believes it isn’t necessary, he only hopes you know how he feels about you without him having to physically say it. Even if he tries to flirt with you, it’s pretty sad. But don’t tell him that, pretend you’re flattered- Though that doesn’t mean he won’t deny the truth.

When Byakuya compliments you, it means he genuinely thinks that and felt a strong need to say it to you. Sometimes, however, he will whisper in your ear something dirty, and it could be along the lines of a compliment(if we’re talking about how he’s complimenting about how sexy and/or hot you look at the moment-) or it could just be plain, “If I could, I would fuck you in front of these people until you can’t see straight.” 

G. is your muse good at gift-giving or do they struggle to get it right?

Sometimes, it might not seem like it, but Byakuya actually pays a lot of attention to you. Like, he cares!? Whaat? Jokes aside, yes, he cares a lot. He’s very observant, and very sneaky when he’s checking you out checking the way you look at things you want. He doesn’t want you to know how weak he is, slightly afraid you’ll take advantage of this. All in all, Byakuya is a very good gift-giver.

If you don’t show any interest in items, he’ll still manage to get you something you didn’t even know you wanted; he just knows you that well. Byakuya’s a wee bit of a perfectionist, so he always makes sure everything is correct and immaculate. Your favourite coloured box, your favourite type of ribbon, he even thought of your favourite type of tissue paper. Everything is carefully calculated, and he does it all just so he could see his favourite smile on your face.

PLS PLS LIST THE SWAPS!! TELL ME ABOUT THE SIBLINGS AND ALSO HIFUMI BECAUSE I LOVE HIM (IF YOU WANT!) I will also send more questions in the morning too, excited to see what you’ve been working on!!

OK OK OK !!!!! AHH! So, before assigning talents, I swapped the pools, so for the first game, I use the talents from the second game, and vis versa! For some i listed gender, sexuality, or neurodivergencies, though this isn’t all of them, and I haven’t developed them all to the same level!

This is SO long. I didn’t even bother mentioning things like my plans for the killing games. (I have DR1 planned out in full, but only parts of DR2 and the v3 anime)

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT IN HAPPINESS WHEN I SAW I HAD NEW ASK NOTIFS!!

LIST:

Trigger Happy Havoc (first game)

Kyoko Kirigiri- Ultimate Luckster- Mastermind (: Sometimes lesbians can be evil okay! was trained as a detective like everyone in her family and didn’t get the ultimate :) she’s definitely not mad about that :) her luck cycle depends on how far she plans things ahead. her good luck is when she’s spontaneous! She hates when ‘normal’ people are accepted by ultimates.

Makoto Naegi- Photographer (Mostly wildlife and nature photography, with Sayaka helping him for some animal photography (: trans and bi <3 One of sayaka’s birds nests in his hair like all the time)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru- Ultimate Swordsman (AUTISTIC ICON, has trained in kendo since he was a kid, then was essentially given away to the Fujisaki clan by his very stressed dad. Semiverbal, rarely speaks.)

Chihiro Fujisaki- Ultimate Yakuza (Taka is her bodyguard! His family is in debt to hers, the Fujisaki clan is the most powerful in Japan. trans icon, of course, dates Sayaka! Very direct, though she’s far more delicate and polite when talking to taka, her best friend)

Sakura Oogami- Ultimate Nurse (Works as an EMT- her clan still is in martial arts, so she’s still very buff, she assists in injuries at the family dojo. Autistic Icon)

Asahina Aoi- Ultimate Gamer (ULTIMATE ADHD. streams and has a ton of fun, will ramble while breaking records, demigirl who loves her girlfriend sakura :)

Mukuro Ikusaba- Ultimate Chef (Works best with ‘cheap’ food, and making them taste good. a byproduct of growing up on the streets with junko, and junko being bored of the same old food they dug out of the trash. now works closely with junko for her teams’ nutritional needs! autistic and sapphic.)

Junko Enoshima- Ultimate Team Manager (there are SO many sports she can never get bored, and the professional scene is always changing! prefers coaching womens’ teams, because being an ultimate brings them more publicity and usually higher pay :)

Mondo Oowada- Ultimate Prince (OH MY BOY. trans adhd icon. now the crown prince of Novoselic, with a reagent in his place until he comes of age. His service dog Chuck is a maltese and an absolute sweetheart. Chihiro takes him under her wing to teach leadership. also dates taka later OF COURSE, though they’re poly and I may add more ppl to their relationship later.)

Celestia Ludenburg- Ultimate Musician (specializes in violin, most strings, though she can play any instrument. grew up poor, dedicated herself to an instrument and persona to cope)

Byakuya Togami- Ultimate Musician (Yep. two musicians. two catty trans gay icons about to throw down. they HATE each other and grew up as rivals. specialize in classical, they literally tore a professional orchestra full of grown adults apart trying to make them side with who was the best musician. they’re so good that they’re matched, and Hope’s Peak accepts them as one student and combined ultimate. they room together. they fight. Literally if one of them gets expelled, the other does too, so they’re STUCK. eventually they become literally inseparable and insufferable together like the WORST siblings. I love them.)

Sayaka Maizono- Breeder (animal handler) (Specializes in birds!!!!!! has songbirds on her shoulders all the time. will give unsettling animal facts without realizing they’re unsettling. sends her songbirds to serenade chihiro when they start dating <3)

Yasuhiro Hagakure- Gymnast (you see this tall goof who acts like an older brother to everyone and wonder HOW he’s a gymnast. he’s completely different in competitions, though still lighthearted. becomes a big brother figure to mukuro and junko especially <3 also trans bc i say so.)

Leon Kuwata- Traditional Dancer (he just. kinda hates it. it takes SO much work and effort but he takes to it naturally. his cousin kanon is NOT like in canon, instead she’s helpful. he’d literally rather be doing anything else. doesn’t know how to do anything like... basic either. can’t cook. cant do his own laundry. everything was dedicated to traditional japanese dancing before he attended HPA.)

Toko Fukawa- Engineer (writes schematics and is very good at it. gets VERY upset when her plans go wrong. her notes are orderly and perfect. host for their system!)

Syo- Mechanic (a factive of genocider syo, NOT an actual killer. she’s a protector mainly, and also is more adept at hands on skills when it comes to fixing things, her hands are less shaky. Her notes are a disaster and she does it to spite Toko.)

Hifumi Yamada- (???) (reserve course) Protagonist! My BOY. HIFUMI IS GOOD OKAY. He’s autistic and loves anime and gaming! he’s not particularly ultimate-leveled at them, or anything else! Attending Hope’s Peak as a reserve course student! At one point he joins the student council as a reserve course representative even if he’s only a freshman :) He’s also a moderator in Hina’s livestream chat, under the username of JusticeHammer, fastest ban hammer this side of the internet. He's internet friends with hina and sakura, and doesn’t realize Oh We Go To the same SCHOOL until he bumps into them. and realizes hina doesnt know what he looks like. but sakura does. its hilarious. he’s aroace, and during the year they’re locked in HPA, is in a queer platonic partnership with Hina and Sakura, while they’re dating each other. it’s great.)

Goodbye Despair! (second game)

Peko Pekoyama- Lucky student (ohohoh. her luck relies on her conviction. if she has doubts her bad luck strikes HARD. trans!, was taken in by Fuyuhiko’s family when she was a baby, grew up as just another kid in the family. They all expected Fuyu to go off to HPA on his own and then BOOM acceptance letter)

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu- Programmer (He. gets so angry while coding. He has an array of rubber ducks to talk to and work through his coding issues with. trans of course. Very protective of Peko when people say she doesn’t have a ‘real’ ultimate. ADHD and Autistic)

Sonia Nevermind- Writer (Literary Girl) (Her family immigrated to Japan when she was young! She writes a lot of serial killer novels, murder mysteries and horror and all that! Trans and bi :)

Gundham Tanaka- Detective (YEAH my guy is a detective. still talks Like That. Trans and bi and he and Sonia were kinda-dating (t4t autistic power couple in the making) when things started happening. He spends some time with his cool older sister who he looks up to a LOT. He and Sonia talk through things together a lot, they both have those red string walls, one for murder cases, another for a fictional plot lmao.)

Mahiru Koizumi- Moral Compass (my GIRL. autistic. Her morals rely a lot on people taking responsibility and being reliable, and she ends up having to work through some biases she didn’t realize she had when she arrived at HPA. Is still protective of Hiyoko, though that protectiveness is spread a bit thinner to extend to the rest of the class.)

Hiyoko Saionji- Clairvoyant!!! (HI YES I COULD TALK ABOUT HER FOR DAYS. Has actual visions in dreams and when she suddenly faints, but doesn’t really realize they’re uhh Real Visions for a WHILE. uses her status as an ultimate clairvoyant to trick and bully kids when in school for a LONG time, though her homelife wasn’t great with her grandmother trying to find ways to make her visions more consistent. SHES ALSO 12 WHEN SHE JOINS THE 77TH CLASS. she’s just so advanced in academics and her ultimate is so interesting hope’s peak cant HELP but scout her early. she has SO many issues guys no one appreciates hiyoko enough, autistic gifted kid hiyoko my beloved.)

Akane Owari- Gambler (started gambling to help out her family and Got Good at it. is very very conscious of money and food like all the time. Runs the hope’s peak betting pools once she arrives. these ultimates bet on a lot of things. she ALWAYS wins. until she doesnt!!!)

Mikan Tsumiki- Martial Artist (ohhhh Mikan. Still anxious and clumsy (though not like THAT in canon) and literally no one looks at her and thinks Oh The ULTIMATE martial artist?? it isn’t until you see her in the ring that you understand. She started learning self defense as a kid because her (bad) parents essentially said she had to rely on and protect herself and no one else would help.)

Kazuichi Souda- Pop Idol (OH TRANS ICON? he’s nervous and paranoid about Everything still, though now it’s like. oh the entire world is always watching my every move this is Okay (: has the brightest neon album eras. he literally keeps up a like. weird chad persona when interacting with people because he’s masking how hard he’s constantly just internally screaming.)

Nagito Komaeda- Soldier (AHAHAH my mans got issues problems disorder he’s a messssss, this trans guy, this absolute gay. this boy leveled a city of thousands of people with his own hands and some bombs. Still has medical issues, but most of his like. treatments and medicine is hold hostage as long as he stays in line. believes the ends justify the means and anyone who dies to him is obviously weak, because look at him! he’s weak, but that doesn’t matter because he doesn’t have to be the strongest, he just has to be stronger than the weakest scum.)

Chiaki Nanami- Heir (OOF. Agender, uses any pronouns. Doesn’t really. enjoy being the heir. grew up with Byakuya in the same circles. she treats the economy and stock market and stuff like games. enjoys gaming but isn’t good at them. collects so many things. has halls full of collections. Her parents stopped controlling her once she was able to prove she had more money than them and could literally bankrupt them if she wanted.)

Hajime Hinata- Baseball Star (Chiaki’s best friend, his family was upper middle class until he hit it BIG as a baseball star. wants to do BIG things and wants to attend hope’s peak more than anything!! Doesn’t really think of baseball as his THING, just a means to an end! trans :)

Teruteru Hanamura- Biker Gang Leader (started with shaking down some jerks who didn’t pay their food and drink tabs at his mama’s restaurant. now he RUNS their tiny town. His siblings are essentially gang mascots, he works hard to keep them out of trouble (while bringing them to like. meetings where he ends up beating a dude almost to death. its fine). most of what he does it to get more money to keep the restaurant afloat and care for his mama with her health conditions.)

Nekomaru Nidai- Fashionista (the drama. the CHAOS. most people are like ohhh we can never understand this artistic genius when he’s literally just. vibing and has ADHD and a love for coffee. Works a lot on accessible clothing lines for disabled people! Also he and Kazuichi work together sometimes, Nekomaru is good at calming Kaz down and seeing like, the root of whatever problem and making it better. ALSO A TRANS ICON and just flaunts it.)

Imposter- In the hope’s peak days they are impersonating Ryota Mitarai, as a part of the 77th class. In the Killing Game they impersonate Mondo Oowada as the Ultimate Prince. They’re doin’ their best.

Ibuki Mioda- (???) (Izuru Kamakura) Protagonist! Gundham Tanaka’s older sister (though they’re in the same school year). Nonbinary and using just. an array of pronouns alongside she/her, and jokingly fights with gundham for neopronouns like MOM said it’s MY TURN on the rawrself pronouns. She attends the reserve course to stay at her brother’s side. She dresses loudly and acts even louder because !!! she wants to stand out!! in the middle of this drab reserve course hell!!  but when things go down, she wants to be someone, to be worthy of being her amazing brother’s big sister. so she accepts some offers.

NON-KILLING GAME:

Ryota Mitarai- Ultimate Analyst (stays in his room. He’s terrified of the outside world but fascinated by it. watches hope’s peak academy through security feeds, picking up on little details. he just wants to understand things but never looks at the big picture.)

Chisa Yukizome- Ultimate Boxer (Homeroom teacher!! She’s working really hard and believes in everyone! Some are intimidated by talent, but she’s never hurt anyone outside of the ring! Dating Kyosuke)

Juzo Sakakura- Ultimate Student Council President (Has anger issues, though his work at reigning them in assisted in becoming an Ultimate. Was responsible for security and the Hope’s Peak student council. Dating Kyosuke)

Kyosuke Munakata- Ultimate Housekeeper (Meticulous, works himself to the BONE even if he’s good enough to not have to do that. Is working on establishing another Hope’s Peak! Dating Chisa and Jozu!!!)

Seiko Kimura- Ultimate Blacksmith (GIVE MY GIRL KNIVES!! She’s an anxious gal, always wearing a facemask that filters the air in her forge because she has some respiratory problems. she prefers making more decorative pieces like an artist, but sometimes can create utilitarian pieces or tools to fit specific needs. Still a doormat)

Ruruka Ando- Ultimate Pharmacist (She constantly asks Seiko for new tools for her developments in medicine, saying its all for the advancement of humanity, so Seiko denying any request is SELFISH, though she never thinks to make anything for seiko’s health issues. Dating Izayoi. Specializes in medicine for mental health. Not Doing Great :)

Sonosuke Izayoi- Ultimate Confectioner (He loves sweets. LOVES them. Creates things that look plain, ordinary. but taste so GOOD you CRY and maybe ascend for a little bit. sometimes Ando makes cool new drugs to put in the sweets, who knows! It’s a mystery! He always has like. a huge refrigerated case of fresh cakes, and constantly has a lollipop in his own specialty recipe in his mouth.)

[twisterzz4]

Random things I like to think about revolving around Kiyotaka Ishimaru

Part two: if he lived

T.W. despair, lots of it. Mention of suicide

So obviously, Taka and Hiro switch spots. I love Hiro, I really do, but he really doesn't have a whole lot going on character development wise.

Taka awakes in the Robo-Justice suit as Ishida.

But when people begin talking about the murders and suspecting him, the reality of the situation crashes into him like a freight train and snaps him back to being Ishimaru.

During the trial, he is fully convinced that he did it, lots of crying, lots of apologizing.

His time as Ishida is fuzzy in his mind, so he finds it entirely plausible he fully blacked out and killed Hifumi over Alter Ego.

He's a mess for a bit after the trial, but he's mostly back to his former self.

Ishida still happens from time to time. Mostly when his emotions flare and he needs to cope.

Taka holds some spite for Sakura, but tries not to talk about it, avoiding the topic when possible.

Toko shows up first for the meeting, hiding in the closet when Sakura shows up

Taka is punctual as normal, showing up right on time.

Him and Sakura actually have a good discussion, he begins to understand why she did what she did.

*but then she brings up Mondo*

She calls him weak and/or chastises him for committing murder.

Taka snaps and begins screaming at her. Letting all his frustrations out with the entire killing game out on her.

He never actually hits her, but his words cut deeper than any weapon could have.

He storms out of the room, later returning to apologize.

She's dead when he gets back.

During the first part of the trial, he's catatonic.

All he says during debates is "sorry..." and "..." and similar things.

When the meeting is brought up, he bursts out with everything he did, lots of tears, ugly crying.

He's back to normal after, contributing to debate as usual.

After the trial him and and Hina hug and ugly cry together over their lost hunks.

Monokuma reveals the next execution: Alter Ego

*despair*

Ishida no longer exists as Taka's last little piece of Mondo has been pounded into scrap.

During Chapter 5, he's super clingy to whoever he's with. He's terrified of losing another friend.

During the trial, he tries to be confident, but it's clearly a mask.

He just ends up saying stupid stuff, repeatedly getting shot down by everyone.

They all call him an idiot, but Makoto tries to cheer him up a few times.

Makoto is the only person other than Mondo who has shown even a shred of affection to Taka.

(Toko is still alive in this bad end. Taka committed suicide after Kirigiri's death)

He becomes catatonic again while Makoto is gone.

It's worse than in Chapter 3, he doesn't eat, speak, he doesn't even move or sleep (he's been sitting in the dining hall, and he's still alive, so he's clearly not sleeping)

It isn't seen of course, Kirigiri just mentions it as her and Makoto climb out of the trash hole.

He suddenly stands up, staring at Makoto.

*more tears than should be humanly possible*

He runs over and collapses in Makoto's arms.

Hina yells at him for crying so much since he's already critically dehydrated.

He promises that he won't let anyone else die.

He's back to full function in Chapter 6.

Confident and strong as ever, though all of his words are laced with anxiety and fear.

When they almost all fall into despair, Taka uses his skinny sprites from Chapter 3.

He just mumbles about how weak he is, and how he can't lose anyone else.

When Maloto brings him back, he talks about how no matter how screwy the world outside is, they'll need a strong, disciplined leader to get it back on track.

End THH

He shows up instead of Byakuya in SDR2

Repeatedly calls the survivors of SDR2 "hoodlums" and "delinquents"

Not much else

End SDR2

In DR3, he once again swaps roles with Hiro.

He cries a lot

Joke about the helicopters not fitting within regulations

(Why does he know helicopter regulations)

Just comic relief for Future Arc

End DR3

Sorry for the super long post. That's just what I imagine Taka would do if he didn't die in chapter 3. I also think it would be fitting if he committed suicide instead of Sakura in Chapter 4, but Sakura's death is really important for Hina's character development IMO.

Danganronpa IshiMondo Hogwarts AU idea

Hi all! So, the other night I was lying in bed, thinking about IshiMondo (as one does), when I got this random idea. It just kind of was a random musing at first, but the more I thought of it, the more invested I got. What was this idea, you ask? Well, those of you who read the title of this post will already know. 

IshiMondo at Hogwarts. And... that’s about it, ha. 

The idea quickly went from a “ha, cool idea” to an “I must have this.” And I would like to say that-- while I know Harry Potter has its flaws (and J.K. Rowling can bite me)-- I still adore the series, while also acknowledging the flaws and downfalls. 

I did write a one shot fic of IshiMondo at Hogwarts, but this post isn’t about that. This is just about my headcanons of what house each student would be in, their blood purity, their prefect status, as well as how it would work having the Danganronpa characters be in Hogwarts. If you feel excited about the fic, don’t worry, it is completed with 25k words. I wrote frantically the last day and a half to complete it, ha. I had no plot in mind when I started, just wanted a IshiMondo Hogwarts story, but I got a pretty solid plot idea after writing for a little bit, so I hope y’all like it. 

I don’t know when I’ll be posting it, just because I have a bit of a backlog of fics to post, oof. Probably sometime next week, after some more editing. 

Anyway, if you are interested in the Hogwarts AU idea, feel free to read on to the rest of the post. It’s a little rambling, so apologies about that. But I’m just super psyched on this idea, ha. And I always focus on useless details when I think about thing, oof. 

(I will add a read more here, just to not have an insanely long post clog your dash if y’all don’t care, ha.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway. The first thing I thought about was which house each student would be in. And this... was surprisingly easy, really. Some of the characters I was a bit stuck on, but was still able to put them in a house and feel good with it, even if for some I’m like “ehhh, they asked the hat to be in that house, lol”. 

One small issue I found for fitting the Danganronpa characters into Hogwarts was the fact that the 88th class only had 16 students, which would be ridiculously small for a Hogwarts year. I explain this one away by saying the war just made their year smaller, since I wouldn’t want to add any students to their year, really. If you go by their canon birth years, 1993 (other than Hiro, ha, though in this AU he’s the same age as the rest), they’d have been about 4 or 5 during the war in 1998, so it would make some sense for their year to be smaller. Also... if you’re wondering why 16 Japanese students ended up in a British school... shhhh. That’s the biggest hand wave in all Hogwarts crossover AU’s. 

Anyway, here’s the houses I put them in. I wanted 4 per house, since there are an even 16 students in Danganronpa, so 4 per house makes sense. I also initially wanted to have 2 girls and 2 boys, when possible, but it didn’t work out for most of the houses. Ah well. 

The students houses, as well as “blood purity” and prefect status, since my fic takes place in fifth year:

Hufflepuff: 

Makoto (half-blood) 

Taka (pureblood) (prefect, duh) 

Sayaka (half-blood)

Hifumi (half-blood, muggle mother) 

~XoxoxoxoxoxoX~

Gryffindor:

Mondo (muggle born)  (prefect)

Sakura (half-blood) 

Leon (half-blood) 

Hina (half-blood) 

~XoxoxoxoxoxoX~ 

Slytherin:

Junko (pureblood)

Mukuro (pureblood)

Byakuya (half-blood- pureblood father, half-blood mother) 

Celeste (half blood- pureblood mother, half-blood father) (prefect)

~XoxoxoxoxoxoX~ 

Ravenclaw:

Kyoko (half-blood) (prefect)

Hiro (muggle born) 

Toko (half-blood)

Chihiro (muggle born)

Houses defense:  

I honestly feel that these houses are pretty representative of the characters, for the most part. But here is some evidence, which yes, I did put thought into, ha. Please go with the assumption for the houses that the hat also takes into account what qualities the students personally value, even a bit more than what qualities they may or may not possess. This is just how I personally view the hat working in HP, because otherwise... well, it doesn’t make much sense, since everyone has at least some quality of each house. 

Taka, I firmly believe, is absolutely a Hufflepuff, duh. Not only does he value hard work above literally all else, but he is fiercely loyal and does his best to be kind, even if he doesn’t always succeed. More than that, while he is intelligent, he absolutely does not value intelligence, since he hates geniuses, which eliminates Ravenclaw. He is ambitious, but he is the legit opposite of cunning or sly, ha, so Slytherin is out. And while he is brave, he is not at all reckless, nor do I think he values bravery much, so no to Gryffindor. Thus, Hufflepuff through and through. 

I also feel confident with Mondo’s placement. He’s totally a Gryffindor, oof. He’s so hotheaded and reckless in canon, always running headfirst into things without thinking it through first. And with his thing against being weak, he tends to make up for it by being recklessly brave, not to mention how he’d have to at least fake bravery with his position as a biker gang leader. He doesn’t really fit in the other houses either, since he’s not super ambitious, he doesn’t really value intelligence (I like to imagine that he is intelligent, but he wouldn’t value it, which I personally view as being important in Hogwarts houses), and while he is loyal, he doesn’t value hard work or kindness, really. Thus, Gryffindor. 

I think I got Slytherin house pretty spot on, ha. Junko is totally a Slytherin, given how she... literally created an entire killing game and deceived her entire class. If that’s not ambitious and cunning, I don’t know what is... I don’t know much about Mukuro, but I imagine she’d want to be with her sister if nothing else. Byakuya and Celeste are total Slytherins, given their ambition and drive for success. 

Ravenclaw I was a bit confident about too, other than Hiro. But Kyoko definitely has big Ravenclaw vibes, with her inquisitive and sleuthing nature. She seems to be one to value intelligence, too. Chihiro is an intelligent character, who also values intelligence, so that also fits. Same with Toko, though I suppose she could possibly go with Slytherin... but I don’t view her as very ambitious, honestly, when you take away Genocide Jack/Jill, which I usually try to do (people with DID are not serial killers, thank you very much). Now, Hiro... this was one I was a bit stuck on. I contemplated putting him in Hufflepuff, since he has the whole, you know... stoner vibe, ha. But I think Ravenclaw does fit him. While he doesn’t have good grades and isn’t portrayed as being very intelligent, he is a talented clairvoyant in canon, and if he were in a world with divination, I firmly believe he’d be an excellent divination expert, which is a form of intelligence. He also has big Trelawney vibes, who is a Ravenclaw, ha. 

The rest of Gryffindor I wasn’t super sold on, but I feel they fit. Sakura is certainly brave, even if she’s not super reckless. I think, though, that she’d want to be in Gryffindor and would ask the hat to put her there. Since she doesn’t have any strong ties to any other house (she is ambitious and loyal, but she’s not either thing above everything else), I think the hat would respect her wish. Leon I honestly wasn’t sure on, since I don’t know too much about him as a character, but I wanted him and Mondo in the same house, so... yeah. Plus, he has the whole rebel vibe, ha. Hina I almost had in Hufflepuff, but that would have messed up the 4 per house thing, so I changed her to Gryffindor. I do think it fits, though I don’t know too much about Hina, since I never finished playing the game and don’t know her later game character much. Early on, she seems to be one to be willing to fight for what she believes in, though, so Gryffindor would prolly fit. 

Hufflepuff was also a bit of a struggle for me, but I think Makoto definitely fits. He’s very friendly and kind, as well as loyal, so I think Hufflepuff fits him well. Now, Sayaka and Hifumi... eh, I felt it fits a little, since neither really strikes me as having many qualities of the other houses, but I was not super sold on either. Sayaka is ambitious and can be cunning, but she just... doesn’t really strike me as a Slytherin, and I also don’t think she’d want to be placed there. Hufflepuff is more of a cutesy house (I say as a proud Hufflepuff, so don’t @ me), so I do think she’d like the house more. And with not having many qualities of the other houses other than Slytherin, I think the hat would also respect her wishes. Now, Hifumi... I had considered him for Ravenclaw (switching him and Hiro), but I just didn’t think that fit all too well. He doesn’t really have qualities of any of the houses, in my opinion, which then instantly would put him in Hufflepuff, since Hufflepuff is more than willing to take any student. Which I personally view as a good thing, ha, so please don’t think I’m putting down Hufflepuff.

Blood purity: 

Now, the whole blood purity thing I didn’t put too much thought into other than who I think would be bigger with ‘muggle’ things than others, like Chihiro. Hiro I had be muggle born just ‘cause, though, ha. Most I had as half-blood, just because it seemed a good middle of the road thing. Junko and Mukuro are pureblood since Junko seems like she’d be a snob about it, while Byakuya and Celeste just have a single pureblood parent mostly because of a throw-away line in the fic I wrote, ha. I didn’t feel it mattered too much with all of the rest of the class other than Taka and Mondo, though, since blood-purity is kind of a meh thing. 

However, with Mondo and Taka, I did put some thought into their blood purity.

Taka I had as a pureblood since I think it makes sense, given his cluelessness with popular culture in canon. This can translate well to him just not knowing muggle things. Also, I thought that having his grandfather be a Death Eater would also work out, as that would give him a very good reason to dislike the man and also gives him a big reason why he doesn’t want to be like him. It makes more sense than his grandfather being Minister of Magic and having a scandal, since during the time Taka was a child in this AU, Fudge was Minister of Magic, and then the other dudes whose names I forgot. 

Mondo, though, I think would work best as a muggle born, especially considering his brother’s biker gang. I like to imagine that Daiya still has the gang in this AU and that Mondo would be at least an honorary member, so having Daiya be muggle worked out well. Plus, it would add to the IshiMondo dynamic, giving Mondo the ability to teach Taka about the muggle world, kind of like I have him teach Taka about popular culture and all that in my other IshiMondo fics.

~~~~~

Prefect defense: 

Before going into the individual characters, I wanted to mention that I chose to have only one prefect per house mostly due to how few students are in the year. If there was one boy and one girl per house like in canon Harry Potter, that would be half the year as a prefect, which... makes no sense, ha. I was originally gonna have that before realizing that it made no sense. So, one per house in their year. That’s still a lot proportionally, but imagine the anger if one house had a prefect but another didn’t, so... yeah. While I like the idea that all of the class gets along well, there would still be some inter-house rivalry to consider. 

Anyway... I’m sure most people who saw my list and saw that I made Mondo a prefect would be like “... wait, what?” and think I just had that as an IshiMondo thing. And while, yes, that is part of it, it’s not all of it. Given his position as Biker Gang Leader in canon, I do think that he would do well with responsibility, even despite his disinclination for rules and his quick temper, and all that. And considering that someone like James Potter was somehow made Head Boy, I know that the character being a perfect rule follower isn’t necessarily what gets them the badges. While Sakura would probably make a good prefect, I don’t think she’d want to be one, which is another thing to take into consideration. 

I don’t think I have to explain why Taka is a prefect, ha. 

Now, as for Kyoko and Celeste... with Kyoko, I felt she was the only one of the Ravenclaws I have that would actually be decent as a prefect. I mean... Toko and Chi are too timid, while Hiro is, well... Hiro. And as for Celeste... I actually originally had Byakuya as the Slytherin prefect, given how he’s definitely one who’d want the prestige of the title, but then I realized that there would be 3 boy prefects and only one girl. I think, given how each year in HP had one girl and one boy per house, that there would be an even girl/boy ratio with the prefects, even with the limited number of prefects in their year. Plus, Celeste seems like she’d do as good (or bad, ha) of a job as Byakuya. 

~~~~~

And that’s about the extent of my musing on this all, ha. Honestly, I like the idea, and while I’m sure there are other Hogwarts/Danganronpa crossovers, I don’t think there are any IshiMondo ones. On AO3, at least. I know I didn’t have to sort all of the characters and put this much thought into it, since the fic I wrote was primarily focused on IshiMondo, but honestly? I do like the idea. And maybe, if other people like the idea too, I can write other Danganronpa/Hogwarts crossover fics, though I think it would mostly focus on IshiMondo, since I like Taka and Mondo best. 

For those who stuck around this long, I’ll go briefly over the fic I wrote, if y’all are curious. Like I said, my main desire when writing was that I just wanted an IshiMondo Hogwarts story and that was my primary motivation. I set the story in fifth year, since I wanted to talk about Taka being a recent prefect. As writing, though, I had the idea of making Taka struggle to produce a patronus, given his canon problem with letting himself loosen up. Also, I always headcanon Taka as having had a pretty bleak childhood, which primarily comes from the fact that the creators said when they were coming up with his backstory, they had to stop since it got dark quick, oof. Going along with this, I then figured it would be cute to have Mondo help Taka with it, which brings the two closer. I didn’t want them to be friends or “brothers,” though, so it was kind of a mini “enemies to lovers” thing. 

I didn’t want them to be totally at odds, though, so I also came up with a reason for them to go from enemies to kind of uneasy acquaintances before the fic took place. The reason I gave was that, in the end of their fourth year a few months before the fic started, they had faced a boggart in their defense against the dark arts class and Taka’s was his death eater grandfather, who told him he would never be good and that he was nothing more than a death eater like him, which made Taka cry. Mondo was like... oh shoot... and helped him out, saying that he was actually good, duh. Taka was freaked out by this, since he was like... wait, aren’t we enemies??? And also, you’re a trouble maker, why do I like you??? So he suppressed everything to prevent his fragile world view from crumbling. But Mondo was like... dude... I think I like Taka now, and maybe always did, wtf... which lead to Mondo cleaning up his act over the summer break, and then helping with the patronus in their fifth year. 

Anyway! That was a bad explanation of the fic, but I really like it and I hope y’all do too, when I post it, ha. I mostly just need more Hogwarts IshiMondo in my life, tbh. 

Sorry for the insanely long and rambling post! Hope someone got something out of it, ha. See y’all later!
