#chifuyu sasaki

[chernobog13]

Once again a reminder that all these Bible thumpers in the GOP (and elsewhere) have never read the book they claim guides their lives and policies.

Superman runs to Smallville in Gene Luen Yang’s “Superman Smashes the Klan”

He passes by the Lutheran church that has a verse on the sign

The verse Leviticus 19:34

What does that say?

“You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭19‬:‭34‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Nice work there

Remember Superman is the tale of the immigrant and the child raised between two worlds. How is that impossible a tale to tell?

For my job to become easier, you will have to include the following information in your request: ship, plot (preferably a detailed version), any triggers you might have, and any headcanons or extra stuff you would like. If at least the first three aren't mentioned, I will pretend like you never commented in the first place. I hope you enjoy my oneshots hehe!

i got ari into sasaki to miyano. || @protectivemuses

"Oi," Ryusei called out, picking up the pace to catch up to Chifuyu before offering the borrowed manga over to him. "Thanks for letting me borrow it.. It was surprisingly decent... Never read that type of stuff before, though. Didn't think you'd be so much the type to read it, but I mean, the guys weren't bad looking so it wasn't too bad I suppose." He commented with a hum. "Do the other volumes go more into their bedroom stuff or is it just mainly like what we see in this one? It got pretty steamy between the guys at the end, after all.."

“ Huh? What the hell are you talkin abou - ” Chifuyu started to speak as he took the manga in hand. The look of horror that spread across Chifuyu's face seemed almost inhuman as soon as he noticed what was in hand. Chifuyu was no stranger to feeling embarrassed, but he was rarely mortified. Not like this.

That was NOT the manga he'd meant to lend Ryusei, and Ryusei actually read it?! The whole way through?!

“ You weren't... This wasn't... You actually read this to the end of the volume?! ” If Chifuyu didn't have so much to live for, he was fairly sure this moment could have been enough to end him.

“ I'm not talking about this one with you! ” Not here; not now.

[firstdivisiongirl]

Can I ask number 1 for the ask game? And also hii it's been a while. (I'm the anon who requested the good girl rindou and the one you matched up with Kazu if you remember lol)

Hello! Of course I remember you! It really has been awhile. Okay, so you want to know who my comfort character(s) are (is). A lot of times they say your comfort character is someone you can relate to and makes you happy. I would say I have maybe 5. Emma Sano (Tokyo Revengers), Chifuyu Matsuno (Tokyo Revengers), Keisuke Baji (Tokyo Revengers), Yuki Yoshikawa (Horimiya), and Miyano (Sasaki and Miyano).

[gaoau]

I want to listen to you all night long

Raison d'Être warnings — none. word count — 2.3k

prev. — next.

After a full week of dancing around her team at work, [Name] finally decided to face her shame and promised to join them on Saturday for drinks. Chika had been particularly worried about her when seeing her power through her lunch breaks without eating after two days of vanishing from existence. Then, without any rhyme or reason, she was upbeat once more, leaving not only Chika but everyone else extremely confused.

However curious they were to figure out what she'd been going through during the week, they didn't need to pry any information out of her; she was willingly giving it all out after one too many beers. Leaning far into the table, elbow sliding on the spilled sake, she accepted every single refill of her sakazuki that Chika offered. Admittedly, her head was humming and there was an obnoxious fuzz wrapping around her brain. She chose to ignore it, gulping down shot after shot after shot. Yes, it was cold outside, what with Winter blessing the land with its stupid blankets of pure white snow, but the flush spreading across her cheeks was certainly from the alcohol consuming her bloodstream. It wasn't even snowing tonight. Boy, was she warm.

Her drunken woes slipped out of her tongue in slurred words, "Can you believe it?! Flies! What the fuck is up with that? How is that—Thanks." Chika poured more sake into her sakazuki. It disappeared down her throat in an instant. She slammed it back down onto the table. "How is that even allowed?! Why is that a thing?!"

None of them were expecting her to open up and release an entire dam of burdens surrounding her ten-month-old puppy. Sasaki chimed in every once in a while, prompting her with more questions. Naomi eyed him to stop. It was certainly the alcohol, but her flurry of complaints did not stop. As Naomi ordered a jar of water for the poor woman on the verge of tears, [Name] carried on.

"Imagine how stupid you have to be to forget about your own dog! And then leave him there for the flies to feast!" She cradled her pounding head in her palms. The room was quiet for a brief moment. Then she ran her fingers through her hair, raising her eyes to the ceiling. "Ah, man, I feel so sorry for that boy. He deserves better." Her lips pursed. She contemplated her own sentences in her brain. When they finally registered in those last remaining sober braincells, she gasped, "No! No, no! I'm good. Chifuyu said—" She swallowed more alcohol. "Chifuyu said it was fine. And he doesn't lie to me—he doesn't lie."

Nobody knew who Chifuyu was, yet there [Name] went, rambling about him and how he held all the truths of the universe just for her. The moment that man's name left her mouth, it was almost like a switch had flipped in her head. Without a single warning, her tongue sprinted off in a nonsensical ramble about Chifuyu. None of the words she said were coherent; she might as well have been reading a script in another language. Something about his eyes, something about his kindness, something about his smile, something about his… earring?

"No, no, but really, he has these gorgeous, absolutely stunning, magnificent, deep, intense, um… pretty blue eyes. Fuck, I wish you could see them. I think—fuck, I think I'm in love with him."

"Woah! Okay, [Surname]-san, have some water." Chika's brows jumped into her forehead. She scrambled to take the jar of water from Naomi, who almost slipped on the beer [Name] had spilled earlier. Filling up a glass, Chika squeezed it into [Name]'s hands and forced her to shove the water down her throat.

Sasaki, who was surprisingly more sober than anyone this time, his glasses still resting on his nose, made the right call to get [Name] away from the alcohol. Or the alcohol away from [Name], really. "Chika-chan, get her phone and see if someone can come pick her up." When he wasn't intoxicated out of his mind, the man was quite responsible as he wiped the table clean and let the poor woman lie her pounding head down. She groaned at the headache piercing into her temples, lazily slipping her phone out of her pocket.

Chika had to grab [Name]'s finger to unlock the phone. She held back the strange urge to snoop around, but she didn't really need to when she opened up the call logs. The last, most recent calls were either from Ikeno Chika (That was her! How adorable!) or Matsuno Chifuyu. The grin growing on her face overflowed with mischief. Matsuno Chifuyu? As in the Chifuyu she had just rambled about? The one she drunkenly claimed to be in love with? That Matsuno Chifuyu?

She looked up briefly to see if anyone was catching onto what she was about to do. Nobody was. Here she went, then. She pressed down on the contact name and brought the phone to her ear. The line rang as she bounced her leg, hoping and praying this man would pick up at two in the morning.

He did. He picked up. And he sounded extremely groggy while asking, "[Name]-san? Everything okay?"

"Hello. Matsuno-san, right?"

This new voice through [Name]'s phone startled him awake. "Yeah, that's me. Is [Name]-san okay?"

Chika giggled into the microphone, patting [Name]'s back as she hunched over the table. "She's fine, she's fine, just a little… intoxicated, I guess."

"She's drunk?" he blurted out in sheer disbelief.

"A bit. Do you think you can come pick her up?"

Chifuyu glanced at his clock to check how late it was. 2 am wasn't as bad as it could have been. It hadn't dawned on him that [Name] didn't have that many people to rely on, especially in vulnerable moments like these. Then again, he never thought he'd be her first option when she had taken a few too many drinks. "Yeah, sure, I'll be there in a minute." He didn't take too long to contemplate and got up from his bed.

"Awesome, thanks! I'll send you the address."

Chika wasn't all that surprised when Chifuyu arrived to rescue [Name] from her own bad decisions. The moment she saw him and those intense blue eyes frowning in worry, she recognized him from all those drawings on [Name]'s phone. He was even more handsome in person. [Name] had a good eye for men, it seemed—[Name] had good eyes in general. Now that Chika was trusting the drunk woman in Chifuyu's hands, she was starting to think maybe this wasn't her best idea. But she was sure that whatever happened under the influence of the alcohol in her bloodstream, [Name] would thank her later.

Chika grinned at Chifuyu, who smiled back at her politely. [Name] thought for a second she was seeing double. Her head was spinning, but she was keeping upright on her feet with half a mind to not embarrass herself in front of these two people. "Thanks for coming, Matsuno-san." Chika gave [Name] a light push to prompt her to walk out with Chifuyu. Her footsteps were quite heavy as she moved to stand by his right side, his palm darting up to her back to steady her.

He offered a thumbs-up. "No problem. Thanks for looking out for her."

"Bye! Stay safe!"

Chika's excited farewell drowned in the background while Chifuyu led [Name] onto the street. He shivered at the biting wind slapping him across the face, impressed that she didn't even feel it. Underneath the light of the lampposts, he could see her reddened face. He held back the urge to chuckle, instead saying, "D'you think you can walk, [Name]-san?" An amused grin tugged at his lips at the complaining groan that slipped from her. "Your apartment is within walking distance."

"I mean, I can. But do I want to?" She looked him in the eye and frowned. He stared back at her, wordlessly. Her eyes softened as she shrugged. "Yeah, sure. Coulda just walked on my own, though."

As she confidently mumbled her statement, her feet seemed to fail her and she swayed to the side. Chifuyu startled when he noticed her drifting away from him. He gripped her right shoulder from behind, using his free fingers to loop around her left forearm. "Understandable, but you can barely stand," he laughed to himself, letting her lean into him to regain her balance.

"I'm not drunk." She was very clearly drunk. He tried to contain his giggles, but they burst through his pursed lips anyway. "Don't laugh," [Name] drawled in a whine, "I'm serious. Thanks for coming, but I'm fine. See?" She stopped dead in her tracks, wriggling herself free from his hands. Chifuyu looked over his shoulder to see her standing still in the middle of the street, spine as straight as she could manage without toppling over.

He really didn't want to laugh. Wearing a wavering smile so he wouldn't explode into chortles, he stepped closer to her again and hovered his hands over her shoulders before she lost all her balance. "Okay, [Name]-san, let's go."

"Just call me [Name]." Chifuyu felt his breath catch in his throat. She rolled her head to tame the obnoxious humming wrapping around her temples, almost as if she wasn't jumping from familiarity to intimacy in the absence of an honorific. "I like it when you say my name, Chifuyu. I don't like yours that much, but I'm star—Ah, shit, I got lightheaded…" She lost all train of thought instantly, feeling the world spin over on its head and piercing into her eyes. Before Chifuyu could stop her, she slipped away from him and planted her forehead against a freezing lamppost.

He watched her hunching over herself as she groaned in discomfort. He didn't have the time to drown in the sound of his name carried in silk while [Name] slowly started sliding to her knees. His hands rushed to keep her from sinking to the floor. "Come on, [Name]-san—[Name], uh, yeah. We should've gotten a cab."

"It was your idea." Drunk but very sharp, wasn't she?

Psyching himself up with a deep breath, Chifuyu pulled her arm around his shoulders. Somehow, it was very reminiscent of his middle-school years, hoisting injured Toman members after a brawl. A faint chuckle floated from his mouth, feeling the adoring simper growing on his face. "Hop on my back. I'll carry you."

It was surprisingly easy to settle her on his back, arms loosely crossed over his chest and cheek pressed against his shoulder. If he didn't have to set all his focus on securing her legs around his waist, he would've stopped to appreciate her soft breathing by his ear. Hopefully, [Name] wasn't sober enough to feel his thumping heart from his chest to hers. He didn't know whether it was the sudden rush of adrenaline he needed to carry a drunk woman or simply the flustered warmth pooling in his stomach burning him up. She left him to wonder why she didn't like his name that much. Was it because of the Winter? The snow? The white? His face was too hot right now to think about the cold around him.

There was a tightness against Chifuyu's ribcage as his brain echoed the sound of that name she didn't like, resonating in the air so softly. He wasn't too sure how to process this new feeling. With [Name] resting on his back, he couldn't stop the brightest grin from taking up half of his face, his cheeks were practically beginning to hurt. Because he knew he liked helping people, he knew he was a follower, he knew Baji's ghost clung onto him more than he dared to think about. He knew [Name] was a mistake he didn't want to make.

If there was any way, shape, or form in which he could help her, he would. Maybe more for his own benefit than hers; he sought the fulfilling warmth that spread through his whole body every time she showed him how genuinely overjoyed she was to have him in her life. He talked so much for someone that was chasing somebody else's dream, but with [Name], it was all for himself.

"Didn't think you'd be able to carry me." Her voice suddenly piping up a murmur in his ear startled him out of his thoughts. He felt his every nerve lighting itself on fire.

"What? Why?"

[Name] tightened her arms around him. He could feel the pressure of her grip on him like he was so delicate in her eyes. "I dunno… You look so, um… small and cute and tiny." Oh, so she did think he was delicate. "Wouldn't have thought you were this strong."

Cute and small and tiny were never words anyone had used for him—maybe small and tiny were, considering the amount of beanpoles he'd met in his adolescence. He was taller than Mikey, though. That was somewhat of a win in his book after people poking fun at his height to get a rise out of him in a fight. Cute, however… He cleared his throat. "I used to be in a gang, y'know?" That smirk he was wearing was a little too proud.

"No fucking way!" [Name] immediately gasped at this new piece of information. She leaned back, fingers gripping his shoulders for stability. Chifuyu stumbled at the sudden weight forcing him down. Then she groaned, "Damn it, my head is killing me." She slammed her forehead back down against his nape.

A chuckle slipped as he fixed his hands beneath her thighs. "Come on, we're almost there, [Name]." She giggled alongside him, her voice tickling his ear. He figured a cab would have been a thousand times faster, but this was far more worth it than he could have imagined.

Happy (?) Clone Wars Friday!

Here is Gurihiru’s illustration for the word “stress.” The saddest part of this picture, for me, is that we see Padme comforting Anakin through his stress, but there is no acknowledgment of her own stress. While she has a more cheerful personality, by the end of the movie her stress breaks her down as well. I think that Padme’s love toward Anakin and Naboo is real, but I also think that Padme shields her true feelings behind smiles and a nurturing presence as a way to cope or even distract herself from her own pain. I think she has always had doubts and worries about the Republic, and she hides those fears behind a fragile front that we now would call “toxic positivity.”

The movies make Anakin’s repression clear, but you sort of have to read Padme’s between the lines. Many of her scenes were lost in the edit, and there was clearly never an intention to center her emotions anyway. But that doesn’t stop me from centering them!
