SEPTEMBER PATREON REWARD UPDATE!!!

Check out my new Patreon rewards!!

PS: Just liking and re-blogging my posts already make my day :3

[hinoko-takami]

Heya, I was scrolling through the ultrakill tag and I saw your post about Gabriel acting more like a bird, as well as the bird-character matching thing, and had an idea if you'd like to hear it?

How about shrike V1? Making them a bird of prey makes the most sense admittedly, but I think there would be something really fun about them being a carnivorous songbird. Doubly so if Gabriel winds up a raptor, considering the associations he already has with music and the contrast between a passerine bird and a bird of prey. Also shrikes are fairly small (ranging from about 6 in to 10 in) and have Impressively Brutal methods of hunting, especially the loggerhead shrike's methods for hunting larger prey, so I feel like they'd fit too!

Anyways, I'm not saying that you need to change anything, just thought I'd bring it up because this concept lands in a specific intersection of my interests and I got excited to talk about it lol

I had to look up a shrike but when i saw it i emediately recognised it, and YES!!! I think this is honestly the perfect fit! Like, how it looks so unasuming being a super small bird and then BOOM, super brutal methods of killing their prey, PERFECT!

I think this is literally the most perfect bird for V1 to exist thank you so much for this idea!

(Ps if you ever wosh to talk about birds or ultrakill or both i am ALWAYS open to chat)

Penguin Pebbling

Involves collecting and giving small objects, like pebbles, as gifts to people you care about.

because i do penguin pebbling very often and i wanted to indulge myself a lil bit 🤭

also sorry for disapearing for like... 5 months!!! requests are now open again <3

Characters ;; All of the students (grim included)

Contents ;; could be seen as either platonic or romantic (except ortho's and grim's!), GN!reader, no beta read‼️around 1200 words total, 50~ words per character

Riddle ;; i think he would see it as weird and although he would keep it he doesn't think it to be sentimental, for him its just some random rock you randomly gave him, may give you some trinkets (no rocks :( ) as payback (prolly roses or rose themed stuff)

Trey ;; he wouldn't understand why you chose to give him a... rock? probably put it in some drawer in his room and forgot about it unless you explain why

Cater ;; doesn't understand but will keep the rock in his bedside table, may understand that its a sentimental gift from you and if its pretty enough he will post a pic of it!!!

Ace ;; throws it away. Nah but hes similar to trey, confused abt why would you give him?? a rock you found somewhere on the floor?? would prolly make fun of you if you told him why (but the way his face lowkey matches his hair is proof that hes gettin flustered)

Deuce ;; HE GETS YOU!!! will absolubtely cherish the lil rock AND give you some in return, you two may start a rock gifting competition to see which one of you gives the prettiest one to the other

Leona ;; "...what is this". will throw it away (this time fr) unless you specifically tell him its a sentimental gift, then he will throw it in a drawer and forgets abt it (man does NOT care abt a rock sorry :/) but if you are especially close to him and the rock is pretty he may send it back to his brother for it to be made into some jewelry... but DO NOT mention it if he wears it

Ruggie ;; if its pretty enough he will display it in his room, if not, he still puts it carefully in a box with other trinkets, may also find you one for yourself (my man gets it!!) and may even give you some dandelions he was saving for a quick snack if he finds you while out (doing Leona's work) walking

Jack ;; super confused but lowkey touched, will put it with his (many) cactai, if you do it multiple times, he will start giving you some he found on a run that he thought you would like

Azul ;; if he likes you hes giggling and kicking his feet, will put it in his desk at the VIP room, no matter if its just a broken brick or a cute crystal you found, the tweels make fun of him for this

Jade ;; probably has gifted you some by himself that he found on his lil mountain treks, may put whatever you give him in one of his terrariums as decor

Floyd ;; loves it a normal (crazy) amount, cherishes the rock SO much, probably gives it a small hat and face and brings it around the school, will loose it and demand you find another one for him... he might throw it at you to get your attention

Kalim ;; definition of !!!!YIPPIEEE!!! puts it on his bedside table and stares at it while giggling before going to sleep, beware, you will find boxes of gemstones (not the cheap ones!!!) in front of your room at any moment now

Jamil ;; may try to hide it but he finds it cute, covers his face before accepting the rock, leaves it on his desk for when he goes back to his room to give him a small boost in mood, doesn't reciprocate the rock giving but isn't against receiving more from you

Vil ;; what. what the hell is this. unless its throughly clean and has some interesting colors/design/it's pretty he will throw it away woops, doesn't understand the appeal but if youre sad he threw it away hell ask you for "the prettiest rock for him, the prettiest person you've seen"

Rook ;; now youre inexplicably finding rocks EVERYWHERE, your pillow is lumpy? rock! you wanted cereals for breakfast? filled with rocks! went to put on your socks? why is there a rock?! he may even throw them at you from afar!! (believe him he didn't actually think it through he just wanted to surprise you)

Epel ;; kinda gets you!! may not reciprocate the rock giving at first (he prefers personally carving you some apples as a gift) but will if you explain to him the sentimentality behind it!! will save any rock you give him and maybe even send one back to his meemaw if he deems it cool enough

Idia ;; Doesn't really?? get it at first?? but when he was (forced to be) outside he saw a cool rock on the sidewalk and went "oh hey they would like this one!... Oh damn." a light bulb went off of his head at that moment, he wont really give you any rock bc he simply doesn't go outside, but will put the rocks you give him between his idol merch and figurines

Ortho ;; the epitome of just there for the vibes, doesn't understand jackshit of why youre doing it but if youre happy he's happy!! will test the rocks to see what compound or kind they are and tell you funfacts about them

Malleus ;; OH LORDDDDD hes kneeling down and holding his chest the moment you open up your hand and present him with the rock, A GIFT??? FOR HIM?? FROM YOUUU???? hes a very shinnies boy so be prepared to find anything gold anywhere in your dorm/room, he actually gets you from the start and is so happy, like straight up giddy, cackling in his room as he makes a small altar for the rock (half joking)

Lillia ;; also very giggly and understands the act of gifting rocks as a show of friendship (or more) will also leave small trinkets on your way (some of them are hundreds of years old... be careful)

Silver ;; hes used to small animals also giving him offerings and trinkets, so he understands the sentimentality behind the little rock, will also give you some shinny stone he found while resting in the forest, look it has the shape of a chipmunk!!

Sebek ;; he doesn't understand, he doesn't care. nah but seriously he really doesn't get why even if you explain it to him, no "it reminded me of you", "i though you would like it", "its pretty tho!!"s will make him understand, but please do ignore how close he set it to his Malleus' altar

Grim ;; acts like he doesn't want it and might even throw it away in your face, but the moment you turn around hes running back and searching desperately for it, he wont ask for any but if you give him more he aint complaining, hes like the

+"do you like it?

-"no"

+"then ill take it"

-"BACK OFF, NO WAY!"

day in the life solo trainee mission 018

vlogging hadn't really ever been something junkyu had thought of doing himself, because really, it didn't occur to him that he'd ever be in this position where he'd he doing this. not right now, at least. yet here he is, with a very, very, fancy expensive camera nestled gently in his hands and the slight fear that he'd drop it or break it and end up having to pay out to replace it. and honestly? he doesn't want that to happen.

so he's treating it like his temporarily adopted, fostered baby. what could go wrong, right?

for his own vlog, junkyu had no idea how it would turn out. but as someone who actually really enjoyed watching other artists' vlogs and all, he had an idea of how he wanted it to be and to feel. so he settles the camera up at an angle of his bed and pressing record, pretty clumsily through the fatigue before slumping back into bed and dozing off for another ten minutes. he'll have to ask for the first half of the clip to be cut to make it seem like he hadn't woken up to record and then go back to sleep, but he hopes it'll look natural.

as someone who was a night owl anyway, it'd look pretty convincing either way. it only feels like three minutes before his phone alarm is going off once again, and poor junkyu hadn't even been in a deep enough sleep to roll around in his bed like he usually does. his hand slides around on his bed to find his phone, clicking the lock button to pause the alarm and lays there for another minute before forcing himself to sit up. he slowly rubs at his face, like he's rubbing away the sleepiness before picking up his phone and turning off all his alarms and reaches out for his bottle of water by the side of his bed and takes a few gulps to wake him up further.

through the workshops, he figured out the simple things like the ways to hold the camera, the angles, remembering to actually look at the camera and not himself on the screen, how to speak clearly as well as a few other things so his vlog could come out the best it possibly could for a newbie vlogger, even if it was just for the day.

leaning closer to the camera, junkyu throws a hand through his tousled hair and starts talking. "good morning everyone, this is junkyu-" he cuts himself off with a cough, noticing how low and croaky his voice was. "my bad, this is how i sound when i wake up for a while." he chuckles lightly before continuing. "this is junkyu and today i'll be bringing you all on a day in my life as a trainee. but first, shall i give you guys a little room tour?" he asks, yet of course, he receives no reply. he knows he can't show the full room considering he's sharing, so for now, he'll just show his side and area. "this is my room, but because the trainees are in dorms we share, so i'll only show my side. this is my bed," he opens his arms wide to showcase his bed, a small smile etching onto his face. "these are my favorite sheets for my bed, they're really soft so they feel nice to sleep in. i can't remember where i got them, it's been a while." he leans closer to the camera to pick it up carefully, standing up to show the rest of his area of the room. "i really love cactai plants, so i have a few dotted around my room. i want more, but i don't have the space here so i sometimes buy some that i really like and gift them to sanghyun hyung. you might know him, i hope you guys do. i gifted him one about.. two or three years ago? and he still has it, and it's not dead. so i trust him." he chuckles again, this time more freely as he rotates the camera to film his area of the room. "this is where most of my clothes are, not too much color here, i usually stick to darker and neutral colors." he points to the wardrobe and a free standing rail, where some more of his go to clothes hang neatly. "over here is my perfume and things like that, this one is my go to right now, dior savage, it's kind of strong but it's not too intense." after a couple more minutes of showcasing his side of the room, he turns the camera back to himself. "i have training today, so i'm going to shower quickly and i'll be back to bring you along on the rest of my day. don't miss me too much." junkyu teases lightly before waving at the camera, moving his hand closer to the lens and covers it as a sort of transition and stops recording.

after a quick shower and getting ready, junkyu picks the camera up again, hand over the lens and moving it away to start the new clip. "it's currently 6:30 in the morning, and breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so let's head to 7/11 and get some food before we go to the company." it's a short clip, but he doesn't really want to record himself leaving the dorm and walking to the usual 7/11 he goes to, just in case someone was able to figure out the location of the dorm. not that he was popular enough for that, even despite his previous status an an idol for a while. he continues the vlog at 7/11, where he's sitting down and eating a bento box and some fruit with a peach iced tea. it's a brief clip, mostly of him eating and sipping his drink before he makes his way to the company.

"i'm at the company now, and training doesn't start for another.. 45 minutes? so i'll spend this time studying some more english. i've been learning lately, it's a little hard but i'm committed, i want to be able to interact with you all more." he spends the next thirty to forty minutes studying, the alarm on his phone signalling it was time to finish up and head to the practice room he would be at for the day. he does ask his coach and the staff beforehand is he was allowed to record parts of the training. thankfully they agree, and throughout the day, he records certain parts.

the day flies by relatively quickly, and truth be told, junkyu was really enjoying filming his daily life. at the end of training, junkyu picks the camera back up. "training for the day is officially over, and now it's time to take a little break and then i'm going to work out for a bit. i usually bring my workout clothes with me so i can go straight there after training finishes, so i'll see you guys there." it's a quick route to the gym, and luckily there's only a few people in the gym when junkyu arrives. he quickly changes into his workout clothes before clicking record again. "today i'll focus on arms and abs, shall we speed this clip up? let's try it." with a cheeky grin thrown at the camera, junkyu begins to work out for an hour and a bit before wrapping up and heading back to the dorm. after another quick shower, he brings the camera along with him to the kitchen to cook himself some dinner, deciding to go for a quick kimcji jjigae with rice. "actually, i'm not really the best cook, but i know how to make a few dishes. i've gotten better over the months, but i know how to make this, so let's cook this for dinner. i'll watch some more lovely runner too while i cook, is anyone else watching? i think it's slowly becoming my favorite kdrama." the montage of clips consist of him cooking, taking small breaks as he gets too sucked into the drama before realising he's in the middle of cooking. after cooking, he continues the recording while he eats and watches more lovely runner, a few tears shed at the emotional moments. he's not sure whether the staff would cut those scenes out. "why is this show so good at making me cry?" he chuckles as he wipes his tears away, sniffling slightly. "i don't really cry often, but i cry more easily at kdramas. i think i've cried at almost every episode of lovely runner so far."

the rest of the vlog remains chill, him recording the moments of him cleaning and washing up his utensils, watching more lovely runner and greeting the other trainees as they slowly arrive back at the dorm, inspecting his treasured cactai plants before settling down for the night. while he's more of a night owl, he knows when it's time to settle down, and the vlog wraps up with him nestled in bed all cozy listening to some studio ghibli piano music. "that wraps up the end of the vlog. i actually really enjoyed vlogging for you all, this was my first time so i hope i did a good job, did i do a good job?" junkyu asks the viewers, a small smile and laugh escaping him. "thank you for watching, and for letting me bring you guys along with a day in the life with me. i hope you guys enjoyed it and i hope i have some more opportunities in the future to do things like this. please keep an eye out for me and support me, i'm working really hard to see and meet you all. but for now, it's time to go to sleep. everyone, please sleep well and i'll greet you all again soon!"

Ryan laughs softly and nods, stirring him over to the dahlias. "There's pink, yellow and purples, kind of an orange colour too." She explains to him and looks at the options, picking up the orange ones. "Do you know the black ones because of that famous murder? I think like that's how most people do," she tells him.

She takes a few and then the ones in August's hand, bunching them together to see if they go and seems nice to her so she moves on. She looks at the cactai and other small plants, seeing a sign reading two for one succulents and well, that's a steal.

August lingers around the plants to see what Ryan's interested in. He really doesn't know much about flowers other than what his mom has told him and now Ryan. He smiles as her hands glides over different choices and a small laugh leaves his lips as he takes the one she hands him...though he has no idea what it is.

With this tent you can put together different bundles, so he wonders if that's what she's doing.

He runs his one hand down her back, shrugging his one shoulder at her question,

"They have multiple colors, right?" He asks her, "I've heard of black dahlias before."

I guess I was experimenting with styles, felt like drawing some random stuff all at once and suddenly things got out of control and I was left out with the whole series of... this ^.

[lgcjunkyu]

having your debut stage during a big award ceremony wasn't something all too common, and with all of the other debuted artists and high profiles in the audience with more experience and who have been in the industry way longer? it was a little nerve wrecking to say the least, and junkyu wonders whether some people will think he's a trainee turned idol and it was his first stage, or if some will know who he is from his previous idol days, wondering what they think.

it was a whirlwind of emotions, thoughts and feelings, but right now, there really wasn't any time to dwell on them. he had more important things to focus on. yet with yoojoon's uplifting and cheerful words, junkyu smiles softly. they'd prepare hard and well for it, it'd all go fine, right?

junkyu bobs his head in agreement, and it's only then that he realises he should probably move his cactai plants from the box they were in and free them. the last thing he wanted was to forget about them or leave them any longer in the box than need to be. "i am too, it's going to be fun, i'm excited." he admits with a sheepish smile, though he's surprised by yoojoon's next question. "i think my style is pretty versatile, i like a lot of different things. if i like it, then i like it, you know? it's hard to say exactly genre wise."

pushing himself up from his bed, he moves over to the box that are currently housing his cactai plants, carefully moving them to his bed and slowly lifts them out one by one and places them along the window ledge, freezing when yoojoon mentions hair colors. "shit, i didn't even think about hair colors? i never had my hair dyed before, i've always had black hair too, what if they make us... i don't know, blonde?"

"Exactly," Yoojoon agrees, his nose scrunching slightly at the thought of standing on stage entirely alone. Without backup dancers, and as a freshly debuted idol with a modest fanbase compared to his bandmates, the prospect feels daunting. A part of him worries about the audience’s interest, but he pushes those insecurities aside.

Yoojoon has never been one to place his burdens on others. Instead, he shifts his focus, opting for optimism. "But on the bright side," he continues, "having a solo stage in a band is pretty rare. So, I think we just have to embrace it and enjoy it with everything we’ve got! If we pour our passion into it, I’m sure it’ll turn out just as it’s meant to." His words ring with sincerity, though his hand absentmindedly rubs at his tired eyes, betraying his growing exhaustion.

"I'm genuinely happy with the title track," His gaze settles back on Junkyu. "Actually, all the songs are amazing. It makes me even more excited that this is my debut." A faint smile tugs at his lips before his attention shifts. "What about you? Are the songs your style, or do they take some getting used to? You can be entirely honest with me-my lips are sealed!"

His fingers drift back to his lap, idly playing with the bracelet on his wrist. "You know," he adds with a light chuckle, "I’m actually kind of nervous about the hair colors they’ll give us. I’ve had black hair for all my life—" His laughter lingers, a mix of amusement and apprehension. "—I’m half-afraid they’ll try something totally out there with me."
