his initial plan was to stay (undetected) in askon for a night before leaving for any nearby villages. but then. yknow. other things happened.

[gloomforrestrunes]

OOOH I LOVE THIS!!! what a fun au! its interesting to think about how differently things could play out in the comic if kenta stayed with laxo. things in the first volume couldve gone a lot differently honestly.

thank you for this, this was such a treat to read through! i love the drawings that come with it as well, kenta looks very cute with buttercups in her fur

Stayed together AU! Laxo and Kenta..

This is an Au I’ve been thinking regarding RUNES, of laxo and kenta, a small what if moment 👀 I really was thinking of wanting to make a small Au of RUNES from the creator of @gloomforrestrunes

So it’s simple, when laxo and kenta try to leave Logwood the second time, but unfortunately it is destroyed due to..raven, and Thistle, ruining Laxo’s escape plan, it all goes like cannon…Except when laxo gets his eye ripped out, scared and in a panic state to help her brother in this Au, she manages to get out of raven’s hold after biting her.

just in a fight or flight more, and in this instance kenta chose fight mode by pure panic, not in a rush to fight, more so to go help laxo, she tried but in result, raven tried grabbing a hold of her but ended up biting her too hard in the back area of the upper back, but in massive pain and feeling light headed, Kenta thought to play dead, and this of course made thistle and raven’s attention focus on kenta instead, with laxo panicking thinking raven had killed kenta, and all that could be heard in laxo’s ears is thistle and raven yelling at each other, laxo couldn’t quite hear the words due to he adrenaline and pain he was in but he could hear a sentence of raven’s.

“I can promise them another Trainee …it will just take time…she barely listened to my orders anyways.”

It all went to dark, well not before raven gave laxo one last slash to the face, blaming him for this accident.

Once waking up again, he’d expect Kenta’s body to be gone, but he then noticed kenta, her eyes half open trying to crawl towards him and thankfully raven and thistle were long gone, laxo was surprised but he had not time to be as he immediately went to Kenta, thankful she wasn’t gone before immediately using all the strength he had to carry her by the scruff, his shoulders felt too weak, he knew he wouldn’t be able to carry her to Askon.

It was a long while, laxo thought he’d collapse by now, but he held on strong…hopefully.

“…w…we’ll b..be okay kenta…we’ll be okay…”

. . .

So that’s the What if moment of the Au, of course this is just a fan idea and this is not cannon to the comic in anyway, I tried my best to go about it accurate, while also changing the idea if raven was more so ungrateful with how kenta was due to laxo, they of course are found near the borders, expect it’s only after they lay down for a bit until laxo decides to keep pushing until he collapses, Au!kenta is more so a little happier, she’s still traumatized from what has happened but is doing better, especially since she’s no longer being assigned to be a trainee in the dark realm. Laxo is still the same but he is a bit, in a way happy too because he has Kenta.

Kenta is still kinda skeptical of Kane due to Nex/aiden and laxo’s past relationship but if laxo is happy, she will trust it, but she will keep her eye out if needed too, she mostly likes to wear buttercups too, and if laxo lets her, she’ll put some on him too. Still going to see if I should develop this AU more!

These characters do not belong to me and belong to @gloomforrestrunes !

(I will keep doing Slugterra stuff just thought about dropping this real quick-) and apologies if I got anything wrong here from the lore in runes!

seidou’s batting line up for koshien🔥🔥🔥

[le-trash-prince]

The more comfortable Kenta grew at Alan's home, the worse his nightmares became. Every night, his mind would return to Tony’s house, and he could not escape no matter how hard he tried. The walls would shift and grow around him, and every turn would bring him closer to the center of the house, where he knew his father’s body lay waiting for him. “Ungrateful. Worthless, rotten child. What makes you think you deserve what they give you? What have you ever done to earn your place in this world?” The inky darkness of the walls threatened to pull him in, and he had to keep his hands close to himself to avoid touching them. Somehow, he eventually reached the front room and caught sight of the door below him. Light—real, unfiltered daylight beckoned to him from beyond the doorway. But when he set foot on the stairs, they gave way beneath his feet, causing him to slip forward, and the staircase—a ribbed and skeletal monstrosity—closed around him like a throat, swallowing him whole. He tried to kick and yell, but his body felt like it was weighed down with lead, and his throat could only make muffled yips, as if he had forgotten how to speak.

Puppy Play Ch. 4

I’ll be honest, I wish we got more scenes in Tony’s front room because the fact that the entrance to his house looks like something that could swallow you whole is insane to me. If I grew up here yeah I would be fucking terrified that I’d never be able to leave. I am always thinking about this staircase… I would give blood to have a nightmare sequence set in this room.

[tittylover26]

Bro, I feel so bad for Kenta.

Like, just imagine having this twisted concept of fatherly love because you don't know better than being ordered around to do bad things by a fucking piece of garbage that adopted you and gave you a "home", and then loving one of those children that grew up with you.

Wanting to be with him but being unable to understand why him and everyone leaves because of your "dad", because you think that is what a father is like, a complete son of a bi*ch.

And then your beloved daddy gives you the order to kill that person you love.

Imagine the confusion he must be going through, between doing the "right thing" and obey because daddy told you so, or doing what you truly want, to love that person.

[waitingfourever4part2]

I may have to have words with Ch▶️nge about the fact that Pete & Kenta didn’t get to have their moment of resolution haven’t decided yet what I’ll do.

Digimon Tamers - Volume 2

It turns out this series is super out of print and rare. My library only has the first 2 volumes, so I'll be reading the rest after this one online (if you want to buy it it's like $80-$100 per volume!) It's a little bit of a relief honestly, because the volume that I got from the library is pretty crusty and battered. I think I saw some dried shredded cheese on some of the pages 🤢 Really shows who the audience is.

Ch. 8

This manhua has really bad continuity and no sense of space. Characters will just pop out of nowhere. Culumon is the worst offender, but in this chapter there were a bunch of dramatic scenes between Rika and Renamon and then it just randomly turned out that Takato and Jian were watching the whole time but not saying anything? Riiiight.

I was really confused at the end and thought that Yamaki was saying he created a digimon but it was actually a really clumsy flashback to the original digimon programmers. Confusing panels...

Ch 9

Wow, the Devas arc already, it obviously felt like it took a lot longer to get here in the anime. I wonder if they'll do all the Devas or condense them/do some off screen?

At least one thing that's nice about this manga is that I can take in the Devas designs without them jumping around too much.

Ch. 10

Some of these jokes are flying over my head. Takato tries to name his group of friends "team rock" and he mentions "a skinny guy on TV who talks about the power of positive thinking." I wish they would cut out the unfunny, outdated material and just tell the damn story >:/

Worst boys Hirokazu and Kenta show up to reestablish themselves as part of the party...yaaay

Didn't realize that MegaloGrowmon was called WarGrowlmon in the dub. I guess it is kind of nice to keep the naming conventions more consistent. "Megalo" is sort of a weird prefix (megalomania?)

Ch. 11

I'm still obsessed with Jian's computer that can read trading cards as if they were CD-ROMs. I wish that technology existed!

Two perfect evolutions in one chapter? Pretty rushed but okay...they still looked cool. (Taomon and Rapidmon). I think the Wonderswan card game rot my brain a little cuz when I saw Rapidmon I was thinking about all the option cards I could use with him.

Ch. 12

Other than my fave Antylamon, I think Indramon is the most memorable of all the devas. His design is really unique, he's massive, and he kicks the shit outta Impmon. I like his emo hair too lol

When they realize that Hirokazu's homemade blue card works I'm surprised they didn't move onto a counterfeit card making scheme after that. I just it only works if it was made with pure intentions or something.

Ch. 13

Why is Juri's dub name "Jeri" when "Julie" was right there?

Damn, they really killed any suspense with Makuramon's intro there. In the anime he's presented as a kid at first but here they showed him as a kid but then slapped the name tag "Makuramon" right next to him...

They skipped a bunch because Juri just magically knows that Guilmon exists. They showed Hirokazu and Kenta meeting him, but not her. Oh well, I guess.

Ch. 14

Calling Juri, Hirokazu and Kenta "groupies" is pretty funny, not gonna lie. So accurate.

I like that they're clearly ID-ing each deva as its corresponding zodiac animal. I think there was a little bit of that in the anime, but not as spelled out as it is here. Usually I don't like to be spoon fed, but there's something satisfying about them saying "that's the boar, that's the monkey, etc."

had to look at njpws result page to see why nobodies posting about the ELP&Hiku vs KENTA&Ch*se tag match .. im not sure what i expected

[rozaceous]

so you wanna know more abt mariko's family

behold, some background and meta abt mariko's family. doesn't really fit into the fic proper (much to my chagrin) but should give some helpful context both to mariko, and the events of ch 18. it's also just a bunch of behind-the-scenes world building, bc i find that fun.

copying from some of my chats w verm:

mariko's family moved to konoha AFTER the kyuubi thing bc they were hoping to avail themselves of the hospital (her mom's health stuff), which is why kaya gets pushed into becoming a medic/ninja. mariko is also encouraged but she would've done it anyway, so she genuinely felt no pressure abt that one lol

but this means there's a lot happening in terms of her family not knowing abt naruto and the kyuubi

so they're like 'rough around the edges but sweet kid who needs food' and they get backlash

that NO ONE can explain

lots of passive-aggressive pushback from the village, but it's literally illegal to tell them anything

and as far as they know uzumaki clan is respectable? like, tragic or whatever, but a big name, so this looks extra baffling to them

her parents actually contemplate leaving konoha a couple times (they're from the capital), but decide to stick it out long enough for the kids to finish academy/become established medics

mariko's family is ordinary, no secret bloodlines or political ties or anything, they just go to konoha bc konoha's hospital is supposed to be the best, can work literal miracles. so this is maybe a year post-kyuubi? i feel like konoha would be eager for some new blood at that pt still; they no doubt took a huge blow to their population, even besides the infrastructure and losing the yondaime, so mariko's family probably isn't the only one to do something similar.

kaya is at the perfect age to start academy, and they absolutely steer both their kids into becoming medics. there might even be weird politics abt providing chakra healing to non-ninja in situations that aren't life-threatening.

i think kanako and kenta would see them pushing their kids into medicine as smart. gathering from the context of canon and elaborating: w civilians, you're pretty limited to whatever the family business/trade is, and i think that ninja villages/being a ninja is actually a lot more egalitarian/meritocratic and free with this. let's maybe also include that they have daughters, and wouldn't be able to totally rely on passing down any business/trade unless they had someone marrying in. so giving their daughters a means of supporting themselves/earning personal prestige is smart.

but so kaya and mariko would be ninja--and thus valuable to the village--but not of a designation that puts them in any particular danger. i also think that being a medic from konoha is the sort of ninja profile that would carry a lot of social currency even with civilians. (this is why mariko's mom makes that comment abt her working in the palace. this also fits in w all the pts abt medicine and politics that we see in haku's chs.)

and yeah, i view the situation w mariko's family as a huge culture clash between--not just civilians and shinobi--but non-konoha civilians and the civilians that were raised in the village. even after over a decade of living there, they're outsiders, and made to feel like it because they had what they saw as basic decency towards their daughter's classmate and then had the audacity to be stubborn about it.

so yes, kenta and kanako were going to leave and move back to the capital once both of their daughters were graduated and working in the hospital. other fics have used as a device abt becoming a shinobi and receiving your hitai-ate as a marker of being a legal adult, and i'm running w that. as far as they're concerned, their daughters would then be adults with stable and respectable work and capable of sustaining themselves, and they could visit each other. i don't think this is irresponsible parenting.

ofc mariko getting assigned to team7 is a wrench in the works. like, a FIELD MEDIC?? （⊙_⊙）

but ok, ok, maybe it's not the worst? she's got a pretty capable sensei (forget that he's popularly nicknamed 'friend-killer kakashi') and naruto is a good boy. not...too sure abt that uchiha kid (they were around for the massacre and were this close to leaving for good bc of it) but it seems like it'll work out?

kaya would have a MUCH more realistic view of the situation than her parents, esp since she's dating a branch member of the hyuuga. but kaya's view is something along the lines of "let's just get mom and dad out of here asap" and then she and mariko can deal with their own problems. (i...really need to give kaya her own outtake...)

but yeah, everything is a disaster and it's delicious

More tidbits from Still Runner Ch 2. for you all :) This time, David Finlay haunts the Jay >:)

Tagging @naritaren, @sarahcakes613, @nagdabbit, @blizzardsuplex @shes-a-voodoo-child, @doublearmbars, @limbreaper if you want to share!

-

A low drone comes in from the speakers and I snap upright. The Club’s theme. David swaggers in, shoulders decked with knives, like he’s the Switchblade now. The crowd isn’t really buying him as leader yet. My stomach churns. In front of him, Phantasmo pulls out a sign, admiring it. David rips it in half.  It should make me happy, shouldn’t it? Seeing discord in my absence. Kenta stalks in behind, boredom in his eyes. No, seeing this just makes me feel sick. I promised to be there. And they’re – fractured. 

It’s a week old match, so I skip away to David’s comments– big talk about taking down baby boy Umino. I know that kind of talk well. David Finlay is a killer now. I’ve been waiting – so long to see him take that up. The sick feeling in my stomach intensifies. I wanted him to come into his own but never…replace me. 

I could watch him lose to SANADA. But I don’t…think that will make me feel any better.

KimKenta WIP Snippet

I'm getting close to halfway done with this and should be able to post the first chapter within the week. I truly have no idea how this story will hit, but I adore it. Lots of emotional hurt/comfort, touch-starvation, pack feels, and praise kink coming y'all's way soon

The dog sneezes—an adorable, snorting sound that Kim is unable to fully appreciate, he is preoccupied with the bubbles flying straight into his eyes. He swears quietly, rubbing at his face with his sleeve. When he closes his eyes, he has a tub full of wet, sad dog.  When he opens them, he has a tub full of wet, stunned, naked man covered in dog shampoo. A familiar face looks back at him—eyes wide, lips parted in surprise, black hair sticking to his pale skin. Kenta. Kim swears—loudly this time—and jumps to a standing position, toppling over his stool. His hand flails out towards the wall and catches on the shower curtain, yanking it out of place. The entire rod comes crashing down over their heads, and Kim barely has time to react before Tony Chen's bodyguard-slash-murderer is splashing out of the tub and throwing himself at him—as if a hollow metal rod posed a real threat to Kim. As if the real threat weren't Kenta himself.  But this isn't where the story begins.  It begins with the last time Kim saw Kenta—well, the last time he saw him looking like a human, that is. When Kenta had been kneeling on the ground, weeping at his father's feet, his hands covered in the man's blood. Kim's attention had been split in two—torn between the desire to be a stalwart comfort for his new friends as Way lay dying in Babe's arms, and the need to keep a wary eye on his former captor-slash-rescuer.  Kenta was a difficult man to predict, as Kim had learned in the hard way. His face revealed little of his intention, his actions were contradictory, and his motives had never been clear—at least not to Kim. So when the man stood up on shaky feet and power-walked out of the main chamber with his head hung low, Kim did what felt natural and followed after him. But when he entered the hallway, he found that Kenta had disappeared completely. The halls were empty and eerily quiet after the explosive chaos just moments earlier. The only being in sight was one of Tony's guard dogs, who stood trembling in the corner, its tail tucked between its legs.  No—current, present-day Kim hasn't connected the dots yet. Give him a few moments, and a dry towel, and he'll get there. Several-long-months-ago Kim, however, softened immediately. He approached the dog slowly, indirectly, letting his scent drift across the room. The dog growled at him—a high pitched, desperate sound, like it was begging Kim to stay back. "Hey," Kim said, his voice low and soothing. "It's me. Remember me?"  Well, perhaps the story doesn't begin here either.

Edit: Ch 1 here

Champaign Ch QF: Nishesh Basavareddy [5] def. Govind Nanda 6-2, 6-4 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

Govind tried his best to stand out as he made adjustments from his pace, utilizing some open courts where he struck Nishesh back, but the latter's returning prowess decently carried him enough to bring him back ahead into the match, eventually serving it out for the win. Thanks to his anticipation and point construction abilities, Nishesh generated 7 break points, converting 4 of them despite Govind's 100% break point conversion rate out of his sole chance back in the second set.

Besides, it appeared that both players had their distinct service game strengths in this match. Scoring 6 aces than Govind's 2, Nishesh won 85% of his first serve points as his means to solidify his position on serve, driving the flow from there for a starter. However, even if both players double-faulted once, Nishesh's follow-up rushes on his second serve only faded his percentage 3% behind Govind at 47%, but his returns were sufficient enough to stand out in this match.

Nishesh then confirmed his NextGen Finals appearance after defeating Eliot Spizzirri 6-1, 6-1 in a flawless performance. He then will face Ethan Quinn, who defeated first-time Challenger semifinalist and University of Illinois junior Kenta Miyoshi 6-3, 6-2 in another confident showing. In this match, the more proactive one would prevail, especially considering their point construction dynamics at their best. Who knows what their aggression can do from here!
