🎄❤️Mouthwashing Crew on Christmas💚🎁

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday ♡ Here's my present to you all: more headcanons!!

Features: Curly x Reader, Anya x Reader, Daisuke x Reader, Jimmy x Reader

rb's appreciated! 💚❤️

Curly☃️

I think Curly would love surprising you..!

He's up before you, already has the coffee (or hot chocolate or tea) ready for you when you wake up. 

When you finally get out of bed, there's extra presents under the tree, and the tree is even more festive and beautiful than how you left it!!

(Is Curly Santa..??)

He's not materialistic in the slightest, but a good gift means a lot to Curly if it shows you put a lot of thought into it..! It makes him feel special that you are thinking about him ^u^

He's a good gift giver, but bad at wrapping them XD He's trying his best ok !!!

After opening presents, you guys cuddle and watch your favorite goofy christmas movie while cuddled up in your new sweaters/socks/blankets :)

His favorite part of Christmas is Christmas dinner tho, and you guys whip up a big feast and invite all your friends and family !!! 

He’s the classic “my boyfriend only cooks meat” stereotype, like he cant cook but he will fuck up a christmas ham or a thanksgiving turkey or a barbecue.. let him cook fr

Bonus: Curly is definitely the Santa at the office Christmas party..!! Maybe you get to sit on Santa's lap ;D 

Anya❄️

Panicking because she's bad at getting gifts..!! 

She gets to the store and.. oh no there's too many choices

“I'm not sure what candy Y/N likes... I'll just get one of each.. oh dear..”

She would try making handmade gifts like sewing or knitting or crochet but she doesn't get them done til the last minute...

She dang near cries when you see the itchy, raggedy sweater she made you and you beam at her “I love it!!!” and you do! because she made it ♡

I feel like she likes peppermints and candy canes... just her vibe

You two make a gingerbread house together !!

Yes it falls apart a little, but it doesn't matter because you both had so much fun making it :) (and decorating it with all that candy she bought !!)

Bonus: She is a based eggnog drinker. And maybe she does spike her and Daisuke's eggnog at the office Christmas party ;D

Daisuke🎁

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Winner 3 years in a row

(I like the popular headcannon that Daisuke likes thrifting, so) He loves going to the thrift to find ugly christmas sweaters (so you can match) and even finding cool antiques/retro items to give as gifts!

Always gives at least one prank gift, but otherwise he is pretty thoughtful! 

He doesn't get you a present unless it really reminds him of you! I feel like he gifts thrifted vinyls and jewelry, secondhand designer, like his gifts are honestly peak and they're always perfect for you

He's in charge of the Christmas party!! and he's committed to packing as many christmas themed activities into it as possible

Dedicated Christmas Movie Showing, gotta watch all the classics!

Hot chocolate bar, christmas cookie buffet, pin the nose on the reindeer, ALL OF IT 

Strategically ties mistletoe to ensure highest occurrence of Kissing You ;3 “Uh, oh, Y/N! Looks like we're caught under the mistletoe.. again! How unlucky.. guess we'll have to.. you knowww..” >:3c

Bonus: He would get tipsy at the office christmas party and would try to hug you or kiss you the whole time, and you’re like “plz ur embarrassing me”

Jimmy🎄

Jimmy is actually really good at getting gifts. Like, really good. Like, you mentioned this thing in passing 6 months ago, and he either remembered it or bought it for you and hid it for 6 months. He knows exactly what to get you!

He's not really a huge fan of the holidays

That being said: He enforces Mistletoe rules like it's his job

Everyone thinks he's a grinch, so he doesn't usually get the best presents from others. It doesn't help that he never makes a christmas list or tell anyone what he wants 

(mostly because he doesn't want to be disappointed when he asks for something and doesn't get it, or he's afraid to ask for something “dorky” that he actually really wants)

When you ask him what he wants for christmas, he just kind of shrugs and says he'll like whatever you get him

So it's extra special when you return the favor and get him a gift just as thoughtful as he gave you :) You get him the video game or album or band tee (idk what men like) that he offhandedly mentioned weeks ago :) He can't hold in his surprise that you remembered!

“Woah, babe! I can't believe you remembered.. This is perfect, thank you baby” And then he wraps you into a tight hug!

Bonus: Yea, Jimmy had to fill in as Santa one year when Curly was busy/sick....... He made a kid cry.

Hope you enjoyed! Let me know in the replies what you think, send an ask if you have a request, and rb if u liked! Thanks for reading!💚❤️

Merry Christmas!! ☃️💚🎄❤️❄️❤️🎄💚🎁☃️❄️❤️❄️❤️🎄💚

Do it for them - Co-captain reader x Curly

Previous - Part 13 - Next

"Swansea! Did you eat all the sweets?"

Swansea: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

He crossed his arms indignantly at your accusation, while you could see the chocolate stain on his mouth. 

Anya: "It wasn't him... I was eating the sweets you brought..."

You turned to look at her and tilted your head. 

"...You have been... very good, Anya" 

Anya: "...Thank you, captain"

"Did you left any candy? Can you share a bit with us?"

Anya: "Oh- yes, I'm very sorry for hogging them all by myself- I just wanted to eat something sweet"

"Don't worry, I understand. Just don't steal them, okay? We're just about to go home, we need to hold on a bit longer, then we'll eat whatever we want." 

Daisuke: "When we return! We'll stay in touch, right?? I don't want us to drift apart! Swansea, I want to meet your children and your wife! Oh, and I want to try the captain's food! The captain talked a lot about how much he misses her food!"

All the enthusiasm the boy had, you set aside while you slowly walked towards Anya and carefully took her hands. 

"You wear looser clothes."

Anya: "Yes..."

"...You know we have to wait three months... And three more to return?"

Anya: "I know..."

"...If that's what you wanted... I'm going to help you."

Both men were attentive to the conversation the two were having, approaching curiously. 

Swansea: "What is that whispering you two are doing?"

Instead of telling her, you looked Anya straight in the eyes, hoping she would confirm it herself. 

Anya: "I... didn't took the pills to end my pregnancy..."

Daisuke: "What??? Why???"

"That doesn't matter. It's the decision she has made and we are going to support her, we won't leave her behind."

You interrupted him and looked at the ceiling for a moment. 

"Should be born when we are already in the rescue or before it... But I didn't say anything about a pregnant crew member..."

Anya: "We can induce it, I'll be on time before they arrive anyway."

"You know the risks of that, and we don't have the equipment prepared for something like this."

Anya: "I trust you"

"Ah... You want to gave me a heart attack, don't you?" You sighed, resting your forehead on his shoulder. 

Anya: "Please no" she responded with a chuckle. 

Daisuke: "So, we're going to have a new member in the crew! Shall we give it a name?"

Swansea was about to hit Daisuke on the head to make him shut up, but Anya responded calmly. 

Anya: "I think the best thing will be not to give it a name. I plan to hand it over for adoption when we reach Earth again." 

The boy slowly raised his hand, as if asking for permission to speak. 

Daisuke: "Can I at least give it the nickname Polly? I don't wanna call it thing"

Anya: "You can call it however you want."

"Seriously? Polly? Like the mascot of Pony Express?"

You looked up just to judge him for his comment. 

Daisuke: "Of course! First baby born in space! On the Tulpar of Pony Express! Nicknamed the great pet that everyone knows!" 

"Swansea"

Swansea: "With pleasure"

Upon saying that, the man smack the back of the head of Daisuke. 

"Well, how about you take me to where you hid the candy?"

You patted the woman's shoulders, and she nodded to guide you to her room and show you where she kept them. 

Anya: "Seriously, aren't you going to ask me why I decided this?"

"My curiosity is killing me. But it was your decision, and I will respect it."

You got scared when you felt her arms around you, holding you tightly from behind. 

Anya: "...I was afraid of the pain, of infertility, and that in the future, when I want to have a family... I couldn't, and I must remember why... remember what he did to me... and the pain I felt..."

"...You are very strong... Much more than I was"

Anya: "Don't you think that... I'm a coward?"

"Not at all, I understand your reasons. And I'm glad this is going to bring you peace."

When she slowly let go of you, you turned to look at her and smile. 

"But before you even think about starting a family, I want to see you with your doctorate degree! Understood??"

You shook her several times, making her laugh.

Anya: "Do you think I can?"

"Of course! The ninth time's the charm."

You winked at her, making her laugh, and she hugged you, hiding her face in your neck, smiling sincerely. 

Anya: "I'm glad you're with us... Without you, I don't know what would become of all of us..."

"You're welcome... You are my crew... You are my responsibility."

You indicated by returning the hug.

[sschizoid]

Hello! Saw you were taking requests, how about the Tulpar crew going to an amusement/theme park together? Could be Disney or literally any theme park. Thank you 😊

whoosh! your wishes are my commands, anons !! (∩｀-´)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

--

curly

he brought sunscreen and you can bet your ass he's going to remind everyone to reapply every two hours

can get motion sick pretty easily, so he tries to stick to the tamer rides. the ferris wheel is definitely his favorite, though he still feels his stomach churn each rotation. the view from the top is worth it

saw a stand where someone was doing caricature drawings and thought it sounded really fun. sat for a good 10 minutes while the artist worked before being handed the result and felt his heart drop. smiles and thanks the man, but spends the rest of the day looking for reassurance from his peers. "haha, oh man. this drawing is crazy, right? my nose is just... so big. like, almost a little too big, don't you think? ahah, it's... it's waaaay too big, right?"

jimmy

carnivals and amusement parks are actually pretty nostalgic for him. he wasn't super well-off growing up, no vacations or family trips or anything. but the carnival? it was close by, easy to sneak into, and not super difficult to find lost tickets littering the ground

especially skilled at tent games. balloon darts, ring toss, you name it. he's extremely competitive and let's the carnies know that he knows their shitty little tricks when it comes to sabotaging gameplay, and if they try anything on him, he's gonna make them real fucking sorry

shamelessly pays $12 for a solo cup of beer and fried cheese curds

anya

she loves amusement parks. as a child, she found herself drawn to the more extravagant rides, but now finds comfort in the simpler ones. she particularly enjoys the mirror maze and carousel

one of her weaknesses is funnel cake. specifically the kind with powered sugar, chocolate drizzle, and strawberries. she promises herself she'll only have a few bites, but that's not happening. she's eating the whole thing in under 3 minutes

constantly getting sucked into those games where the carnies goad and howl at you. she'll brush it off and laugh awkwardly at first, trying to skirt past, but if a dunk tank heckler teases her one too many times, she's gonna throw balls at that button until she's either broke or he treads water. whatever comes first

swansea

he's too old for this shit. he tags along, but just kind of hangs on to everyone else's stuff while they do their own thing

...well, that's how things started, at least. after he warms up to the environment a bit, he's not gonna be opposed to having a little fun, but not too much. he asks the woman at the face-painting stand to give him a bit of flourish, but nothing too crazy. she turns him into a tiger

daisuke will pressure him into trying bumper cars, but of course the fucking car he's assigned doesn't want to work. he just sits there with his chin in his hands waiting for it to be over while a bunch of kids ram into him from all angles laughing their asses off. daisuke is no better than them and joins in. he thinks its hilarious

daisuke

total thrill-seeker, the ricketier, the better. especially fond of the ones that make your stomach drop and your eyes bulge. think drop towers, pendulums, and zippers.

if there's a haunted house, he's gonna be really obnoxious during tense and quiet moments, letting out a sharp gasp and making everyone around him jump. he does this at least 3 times before getting a taste of his own medicine when a scare actor sneaks up behind him and screams. bro is shook to his core after that

absolute master at the tilt-a-whirl. has his rotations and leans down to a science, no matter how much weight is in the car, and will keep the cab spinning the entire time. god help anyone who is partnered with him

--

such a good and fun idea it was asked for twice! tysm! if anyone else has any requests; my asks are open !! ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊωˋ )ଓ⁾⁾

[gigifluidcat]

🎄Mouthwashing characters ranked from least to most Jolly🎄:

Jimmy:

Of course he's the least Jolly. You wouldn't expect less.

Years of hearing Christmas music marathons drove him crazy.

He thinks Christmas isn't a real holiday and was invented for Companies to make money.

He probably broke a girl's Christmas gift once or twice.

"Erm ackshually Jesus was born in the Spring" 🤓

Active Grinch, just annoyed by the Holiday season in general.

Swansea:

Found the holidays less fun in space. He still has to work, there's no Christmas breaks. He can't spend time with his family and dog, it saddens him.

However it is still the happiest day on board. That's not saying much really.

He loves spending father-son time with Daisuke, especially when decorating the ship.

Eager to show off family pictures and tell tales to Daisuke at the dinner table.

"Oh lighten up will ya Jimbo? Who raised you to be this unhappy?"

Tries to do what he can for the holidays.

Anya:

Only real problem is that this is one of the only days she has to interact with Jimmy.

LOVES decorating the Medical, with like, all Christmassy stuff. Toy trains and villages galore!

She even put a Christmas tree there, when there was already one in the kitchen.

LOVES Hallmark Christmas Movies.

"Yes, I bet it is a little over the top...sorry I just love my themes."

Very much encapsulated by the Christmas spirit, even if a certain "someone" is annoyed by it.

Curly:

In charge of Christmas dinner.

Wears Santa hat all day in spite of Jimmy.

Just, loves to fuck with Jimmy during the holidays. From blasting Mariah Carey in the cockpit, to putting a mistletoe between Jimmy and the Polle Statue.

Calls the Tulpar "the sleigh", the crew "elves", and does a killer Santa Claus impression.

"Hohoho! This is your Santa speaking! Happy Christmas and great blessings to all!"

Tries to comfort everyone about the holiday season.

Daisuke:

Sends Jolly memes to everyone every single day, even Jimmy.

Watches the LeBron James Sprite Cranberry commercial every year.

Actively makes fun of Jimmy for being a Grinch and a "Santa Denier".

Grown man. Still believes in Santa.

"Hey! Do you think Santa ever takes his time to give presents to those in space? And does he always come at the same time?"

Obviously excited for Christmas so everyone can get together, drink powdered hot chocolate, and watch movies on the screen.

⋆˚࿔ WINTER WONDERLAND

Headcanons of the crew celebrating Christmas

Word count: 1287

Sorry I disappeared for a bit, I got pneumonia and was so sick I couldn’t write. Merry belated Christmas.

Warnings: Brief mention of: slight injury, alcohol, implication of bad childhood

⟡ ݁₊ . Notes: Not proofread. I quite literally wrote this in the hospital so I genuinely don’t know if this is ooc for some characters so apologies if they are.

CURLY

Assigned to put up the Christmas tree and to prepare the Christmas movie marathon.

Quietly struggled to put the tree in place and had the tree collapse on him multiple times resulting in a few trips to the medbay. Now has those round cartoon bumps on his head.

Had to pry Jimmy away from getting into a heated argument over a missing Polle ornament.

Gave everyone presents wrapped with bright pink wrapping paper with ugly gingerbread men.

Genuinely thought the wrapping was cute so nobody told them it looked like a bunch of mini disfigured Igor album covers arranged in a pattern. (I’m not saying the cover is ugly I swear I love Tyler.)

Turned the sofa into a cozy area with blankets scattered everywhere, pillows in every corner, snacks in a little basket. It’s oddly surprising how the ship could look this much like home.

Fell asleep drowning in blankets after the party, also had the deepest sleep of his entire life with arms wrapped around pillows, drooling, weighted blanket on his side. No one knew he was there until Anya woke him up the next day.

JIMMY

Assigned as the tree decorator. Reluctantly let others put up their own ornaments too.

Couldn’t find a star so he made one himself with paper and yellow markers stolen from Daisuke, hence the crumbled origami star sitting on top of the tree.

“Accidentally” knocked over the “make your own hot chocolate” bar because it was decorated better than his tree. Framed Curly.

Secretly was really excited to cuddle under blankets and watch cheesy, poorly made Christmas movies. He misses how lively the city looked during the festive season and crappy Christmas movies seemed to fill the void just fine.

Has a peppermint flavored candy cane addiction. Ate a whole box and stole a second box to store under his bed.

Told everyone he hated his gifts but if you squint really closely you can see a slight smile on his face while opening every single one as he’s finally experiencing the childhood he didn’t get to live.

Never knew he was so bad at tree decorating. The tree fell over multiple times and he had to start over twice. Threw a tantrum and claimed that Curly did a bad job at getting the tree to hold up.

ANYA

Assigned as the hot chocolate bar organizer and the decorator alongside Daisuke.

Made those really cozy “customize your own hot chocolate bars” with different flavors, toppings and mugs. Even decorated it with mini gingerbread houses and snowmen. (Yes, I’m talking about the bar Jimmy knocked over.)

Was in charge of decorating the hallway and put up polaroids of the crew on the walls which ended up never getting removed after the party.

DIY enthusiast. Made heaps of ornaments and painted a lot of them, she invited Daisuke to paint some too.

She even DIY-ed some decor—snowmen made out of white blankets rolled into balls, snow globes made out of a picture stuck on a jar lid screwed onto the jar with water and glitter… that type of stuff.

Got the crew to add songs to a Christmas playlist that would be played during the party. Sadly got all her own songs removed by Jimmy. It’s okay she added them back and put laxatives in his hot chocolate when he wasn’t looking.

DAISUKE

Assigned as decorator with Anya and also the food organizer.

Had lots of fun taste testing all the food while Swansea was cooking. Literally stood by him half of the time with a look in his eye equivalent to whining “can I try some?”

The whole counter at the kitchen was turned into a buffet. At this point the countertop couldn’t be seen and it was completely covered in food and decor. Was really proud when Swansea complimented how it was arranged.

Hums a few Christmas carols while arranging how each plate or bowl was placed. Was actually a perfectionist and didn’t let anyone toucv anything.

Drew a festive yimpy and pinned it beside OG yimpy.

Bow tying might just be his hidden talent, he tied bows out of ribbons for everyone’s presents. Possibly a ribbon bender if you get what I’m saying.

Ate a serving of every dish before the party started without anyone knowing. Woah wait who did that? Wasn’t him. Actually no food was missing at all. Who mentioned food again?

SWANSEA

Assigned as the cook. Hell yeah Swansea get it unc. Also made a bunch of decor.

Honestly I think the crew used some of the cryo pods to store frozen ingredients, that's where Swansea gets a whole turkey from.

Cooking made him feel like he was on earth again, it made him forget how lonely space was. He whipped up a few dishes made from his wife’s recipes. It reminded him of when he used to cook for his family with his mother and wife. Good ol’ days.

There’s a massive light up snowman decoration he made. He actually messed it’s face up a bit and left it with a permanent lazy eye.

Daisuke and Anya placed said snowman in between the door and one of the vending machines. Swansea let out a funky dad scream seeing it. Has a burning hatred towards it now.

Made a Santa hat for Polle because it “felt right.” He actually just felt bad because Polle was excluded.

CREW SECRET SANTA ⊹ ࣪

CURLY

He got a Christmas basket so thoughtfully packed it nearly brought him to tears. Inside were his favorite protein bars, a pack of Biscoff, gift cards to use back on earth, candy canes, and coffee-flavored sweets. He couldn’t have been happier. But the real star of the show? A leather cowboy hat paired with a red bandana with his name engraved right on it. He loved it. Wore it proudly around the ship for weeks before finally tucking it away safely in his quarters, far out of reach from anyone who might dare to steal it. (Jimmy)

JIMMY

When he unwrapped his gift, he didn’t expect anything special. Probably just booze or something generic. But this? A custom pillow with his face on it and a blanket covered in a pattern with all the crew members’ faces? Seriously? Still, it wasn’t all bad. There was a Dexter poster, Take a Look in the Mirror album, and four cans of beer. Not terrible. But then he spotted the note. It read, “I hope Dexter gets you next.” And just like that, it was bad.

ANYA

She really hoped Jimmy wouldn’t draw her name. In fact, she prayed for it. And it seems those prayers worked, because the gifts she received? Absolute top tier. Swansea has kids, he knows how to pick presents. Not that she knows it was him, of course, but it’s obvious the gifts were chosen with care. Books which were already on her wishlist, new board games, medical school supplies she could never afford, jellycats, custom jewelry. It was everything she could have hoped for.

DAISUKE

Probably still leaves out cookies and milk for Santa just in case. But knowing a different Santa was behind this gift? That had him buzzing with excitement. And when he unwrapped a Nintendo and a stash of sweet treats? Pure joy. His Secret Santa even threw in game cards for Splatoon, Overcooked, and Snipperclips... Just like that, his boredom was cured and so was the missing sweetener problem.

SWANSEA

He knew he had the worst luck as soon as he saw how his gift was wrapped, the paper didn’t even cover the whole box. One glance inside confirmed it: a very clearly secondhand pair of sneakers, scuffed with a few marks and a scratch on the back. Not exactly ideal. But hey, at least they were a good pair he didn’t already own. Another one for his collection.

Sorry for being so inactive. Hope you like this, I had to cram it in today so I can go catch up with my other projects. Thanks for reading.

MOUTHWASHING HEADCANONS :3

Daisuke HCs:

-He has a giant binder of Pokémon cards at home

-He sings in the utility room while working

-He used to drink the coffee with the least caffeine when the coffee machine was working

-He’s bisexual asf

-He loves pop music

-He owns comic books, but only ones with queer characters (Ex: Deadpool) (making his parents a little suspicious)

-ADHD (me too)

Swansea HCs:

-Drank wayyy too much coffee when the machine worked

-Doesn’t actually mind how the cake tastes with out the sweetener (he says it’s like jello, and that grosses Daisuke out)

-Has been to several pride parades bc one of his kids at home is gay (he’s a proud ally)

-He actually loves his wife, he misses her dearly, but he doesn’t like talking about her purely because she’s so dear to him

-He’d fucking kill Jimmy immediately if he’d knew about what he did to Anya any sooner (even better, if she told him before the crash, Swansea would get an early blow in)

(I feel like a proper fight scene between Swansea and Jimmy would be fucking gruesome and awesome) (I’m talking their both bloody and injured, Jimmy more so than Swansea, and Swansea raises the axe one last time, saying “This is for Anya, Jim.”)

Anya HCs:

-Anxiety for sure

-Maybe a little tism, as she expresses how uncomfortable she is giving Curly his meds, it makes me think she doesn’t like the sound of him squirming, or the texture of Curly’s lack of skin

-She only trusted Curly, but after he didn’t do shit about Jimmy, she defaulted to trusting Swansea

-She loves chocolate and cheesecake

-She likes rock n roll, metal, and intense genres of music

-Her and Daisuke share music recommendations w/ each other

-She loves hugs, but doesn’t get them often (guys, hug Anya in the comments/nf)

-Even though Jimmy did what he did to her, she doesn’t wish anything bad upon him (but she does hope Swansea gets to him with the axe lowkey)

Curly HCs:

-GAY ASS CAPTAIN BITCH

-He learned his lesson on not reprimanding Jimmy when Anya died in front of him, and he wishes he could’ve done something sooner

-He tries to speak, but only does so to everyone but Jimmy

-Anya is the only one who can understand Curly attempting to speak

-Whenever Daisuke is in the room, Curly will make gestures with his arm nubs to try and be more involved in the conversation

-Before the crash, he had the best hair care routine out of all of the crew

Now he doesn’t have any hair to care for/j

No HCs for Jalapeno, he’s not welcome here >:(

Happy New Years !!

Daisuke x gn!reader

Warnings: Cringe and taken from my oc x canon of Daisuke, so um… there might be some mistakes.

No specific pronouns used!!

The group was huddled in the lounge, surrounding the wide screen. They’d gotten in line up with an Earth satellite, and there for was able to sync in with the ball drop in NYC, even though it sounded absurd.

But in the end, everyone was crowded in the semi-small room, spread into small groups. Even with the small crew, everyone seemed to take up the space well, Curly and Anya talking by the table, where a board game was strewn across, Swansea standing near the big screen, watching the happy faces in Times Square, and Jimmy sulking in a corner. Surprisingly, Daisuke was caught up in a conversation with someone, he was just chilling on the couch, next to you.

You were focused on playing with the bracelet Daisuke had made for you, trying to figure out what the charms on it meant. You weren’t exactly sure if it was an ill intended present, but you’d enjoyed it, and Daisuke seemed to be nice, so you’d allowed yourself to accept it. You also just didn’t want to be rude. But in any cases, you didn’t register Daisuke beside you, who decided to speak up.

“So, you got a resolution?”

Even then, it took you a moment to realise Daisuke was talking to you.

“Wha- me?”

“Yes??”

Daisuke smiled at you, chuckling. Damn, you could be oblivious when tired. You decided to not look at Daisuke when responding, maybe to hope he stops trying to talk to you. Maybe then Daisuke would get out of your head.

“Oh- no, I don’t think so,”

“What?! You have to have one!-“

Daisuke gasped in surprise, turning his body to fully face you. Guess you weren’t getting out of this one.

“I can’t think of one,”

You responded, looking at Daisuke, a blank expression splayed on your face. Daisuke paused, then leaned forward with a smile.

“Then think real hard! I bet if you put time into it you’d know-“

“Why do you wanna know so badly?”

You raised an eyebrow, looking directly into Daisuke’s eyes. That was a mistake. You had to fight the flush that came to your face when the dark chocolate eyes met with his, in which your flush nearly won.

Daisuke paused tho, his fight with the flush having been won in the flush’s favour being obvious due to the dark pink that rose to his cheeks. He stumbled over his words, seemingly embarrassed, knocking your eye contact away as he looked to the tv as an escape.

“I-just- well, I don’t know-“

His voice was becoming meek, which to many would’ve sounded pathetic, especially himself.

“I- uh- I just-“

Now you felt bad.

“I-“

“-I guess I could be kinder,”

You cut off Daisuke from his attempt at saving his integrity, turning to look at the tv as well. Daisuke sighed inwardly, turning his now red cheeks to you in a smile. Then you looked back to him.

“What about you?”

Daisuke wasn’t expecting that. He looked off for a moment, then turned back to you, a smug smile placed on his face.

“To get closer to people I care about,”

You smiled at that, and turned your attention to Curly, who was now rallying up everyone. 20 seconds left on the clock. Daisuke stood from the sofa, and held a hand out to you. With slight hesitation, you grabbed Daisuke’s hand and stood from the couch. You walked to the huddle of people, looking towards Curly.

“It’s nearly the New Year everyone!! Let’s make sure this next year is exceptional!”

He yelled, making some closer to him cover their ears. Not always adept to the situation, but his heart was in the right place. Then, someone yelled,

“Ten seconds!!”

You looked to the glowing tv, watching the count down start. You saw from the corner of your eye, Daisuke, who was shuffling a bit closer, presumably to see the screen better. Which was odd, cause he was extremely tall, he could see fine.

“Nine”

Everyone yelled,

“Eight”

“Seven”

“Six”

The crew was huddling into their smaller groups, slinging arms over shoulders, and smiling to each other.

“Five”

“Four”

Daisuke was moving closer, even slinging his own arm over your shoulders.

“Three”

He was too close. This wasn’t normal.

“Two”

He wasn’t looking at the screen. He was looking at you.

“One”

Then, it happened, a wheel of squeals, phrases elusive to ‘Happy New Year’ echoed through the room, and New Years kisses shared shown on screen. New Years kisses, you’d completely forgotten about them. You then felt your face get moved by a nimble hand, and your face flushed. Now you knew why Daisuke was so close.

The kiss lasted for more than a few seconds, and by the end, you’d moved your body to face Daisuke’s and hand your hands on the other’s cheeks. When you drew apart, you both were dazzled for a moment, before quickly moving away to each other in embarrassment, giving apologies.

[ellouchi]

Ok Mouthwashing crew cat assignment as well as hcs.

(all images are taken from google search)

Curly: the hardest for me to assign, I would say Main Coon or LaPerm. They have personally similar to Curly's and appearance vise too.

Cat Curly would get along with all the cat crew. He loves to sit near windows and observe the outside world. His favourite toy would be fish shaped, but he doesn't have any strong preference. This kitty is very polite and clever: when you call your cats he understands you and gathers all others cats. The best bug hunter, Curly will save you from any unwanted bug. Brings stuff to you too, like small trinkets or even his prey (still alive though, be careful!!). Camera likes him and he does very good poses.

Post stove cat Curly would be alert and quiet. Unfortunately he would be depressed, having troubles playing and eating, preferring to sleep at some secure place without people. Meanwhile cat Jimmy would become more confident and erratic, making trouble for everyone in the house. Curly wouldn't like taking his meds at all, his meows are extremely hard to listen to. Cat Anya could be found near him more often.

Jimmy: street Tabby cat with evil looking green eyes (found with flees and diseases too💚💚💚)

Cat Jimmy is a menace. Knows he is not allowed to scratch furniture and walls but still does it. Takes others' toys and hides them all the time. Fail cat because he can't groom himself properly (cat Curly has to help). Meows are weird and loud: DO NOT close any doors. Jimmy loves hunting, always in hunting mode but as mentioned above he is a fail cat. Play fights with Curly a lot, once he tried with Swansea and it didn't end well for him. HATES patting but doesn't mind head scratching. His tail is a no-no. Steals food from others, especially Curly (because he lets him), so you have to lock Jim away somewhere.

Swansea: Persian is made for him!!

Cat Swansea is very old and independent. He's hard to read, but if you manage to learn how, you'll be rewarded. Likes to be alone and watch the order in the house from his favourite spot. Quite distressed if something is amiss and doesn't like new stuff and strangers, especially kids but he has the saint's patience. Flicks tail in annoyance, flicks tail in annoyance, flicks tail in -- Swansea can eat anything, but he knows he's not allowed to eat human food. Would still look veeery intently at the ice cream you bring. If it doesn't contain chocolate, give him a lick or too....

Anya: unsurprisingly Russian Blue, from my experience very gentle cats.

She doesn't get along with all the cats. She and cat Jimmy have had nasty fights (he always initiated them), other cats had to step in as well as you. Anya enjoys human company more, especially if it's the humans she knows. Otherwise she hides somewhere for a while and then tentatively returns to sniff newcomers. She can sense negative emotions well so she will come and sit on the lap and purr... for hours. Cat Anya loves sleeping beside you or under your covers with you. She chirps and looks at you when you call her. A foodie, don't feed cat Anya too much or she will get sick.

Daisuke: Japanese bobtail cat with calico tri colour coat (cute bell provided)

Cat Daisuke is a menace but in light-hearted sense. He loves to explore your house, always gets stuck somewhere or breaks something but never on purpose. If you open a cabinet or a drawer, expect to find him sitting there (he will learn to open things himself anyway). Jumps when scared but quickly recovers. He's a young cat so he's still very active, loooves to play, the faster the game the better. Doesn't like to play alone though, he needs attention from anyone or he will sulk. Successfully begs for treats: Daisuke looks very cute and polite and you hate yourself for caving in every single time. Sticks to cat Swansea: one time Swansea hisses at Daisuke, the other time he grooms the younger cat. Strange.

Hey Captain! I know the Tulpar doesn’t have a lot of good food so here are some sweets for Daisuke, some junkfood for Anya because I know she likes them when studying, some Paella and coffee for Swansea because I know he makes good paella and also a chocolate bar just in case everyone stresses him out too much and he needs a treat, and I know you don’t like sweets Captain but that you do work out a lot so some chicken, some eggs, and some peanut butter for a good source of protein💪🏻

🥞🧁🍨

I am not quite sure how you have successfully transferred these as we are in space, but I extend many thanks! 😁 I do agree on the point of Swansea making quite a lovely paella!

There are some sweets I enjoy, if protein powder counts! 😉👍

Robin (Mouthwashing Oc)

Name: Robin Berger

Occupation: Chef

Headcannon Voice Actor: Dani Chambers

Sexuality: Straight

Ethnicity: African-American

Age: Same Age As Daisuke

Relatives: Jackson "Jack" Berger (father); Wendy Berger (mother); Margaret "Peggy" Berger (older sister); Carl Berger (older brother)

Personality: Next to Daisuke, she is the most optimistic crew member and really wants to make her dreams come true even if it takes a while. She has a friendly relationship with all the crew while being very wary of Jimmy who she never got close to. She tries to be chipper and jolly even in the perilous situation they were put in. However, when Jimmy gets more and more deranged that trait slowly deteriorates, especially after the deaths of Daisuke and Anya. Despite like everyone thinking it was Curly who caused the crash, she still believed it was an accident and didn't mean for any of this to happen. She is very knowledgeable about food despite her young age and takes her position as a chef seriously even if the supplies are less than stellar. She has a good work ethic and does her best to not slack off in the situation that they are in. She likes to play act with her food and talk to them like they were people.

Background: She grew up with a family who ran a diner and had a dreams of starting her own food truck, so she decided to join Pony Express to get extra money to make that happen. She was put on the Tuplar crew besides Daisuke despite the voyage originally being made for a crew of four. She grew to come close with the team (except Jimmy), especially Daisuke and Anya. However, things took a turn for the worse when the crew hit the Asteroid and everything went downhill.

* Favorite pokemon is Alcremie.

* She has autism.

* Good ending au would have had her and Daisuke get together and become a couple where they open her dream of opening of a food truck and he would be supporting her.

* She loves old music between the 50's to 00's.

* After Anya was assaulted by Jimmy, she made sure to be on alert for any signs that Jimmy was going near the younger woman because she feared he would make her his next target.

* She got along with everyone but Jimmy always gave her bad vibes.

* She was going to confess her feelings for Daisuke around the time he died and regrets she never did. And was devastated when Anya was found to have done suicide.

* Jimmy had thoughts of assaulting her too, but backed out against it because of how what happened to Anya led to her pregnancy and didn't want a repeat of that. And again Anya kept an eye out for him if he tried to pull anything on her.

* She remained ignorant about Anya's assault until Swansea admitted she told him and she got mad enough at Jimmy to attack him after he killed the man. This resulted in them having a skirmish in the kitchen and him admitting she would have been his next target if Anya wasn't looking over her and him not wanting to risk getting another woman pregnant. He then chokes her to death on the floor, while her final words cursing him for hurting everyone.

* Her family diner is called Berger Family.

* She wanted to have a family someday.

* She looked up to Anya since she reminded her of her sister. Likewise, Anya saw her as a little sister and wanted to protect her as much as she could from Jimmy's advances.

* Her favorite Disney Princess is Princess Tiana because she feels she shares the same profession and dreams like her. She still has love for Disney princesses and even Barbie.

* Red is her color theme.

* If the supplies weren't limited she would love to experiment more with food and try new ideas for her food truck.

* She has a lot of quirks based on Bob from Bob's Burgers.

* She and Daisuke would be like Bob and Linda from Bob's Burgers.

* Her favorite food are burgers, chocolate milkshakes, fries, cola, chocolate cake, and pancakes. Her speciality is diner food.

* She and Daisuke had interests in videogames, manga, anime, and American comics which they often chatted about on end.

* She knows diner lingo.

* Even though she and Daisuke came from different classes, they still jived together because they wanted to find a place in the world.

Daisuke: I TELL YOU, CHOCOROOMS ARE BETTER BECAUSE OF THE BIG CHUNK OF CHOCOLATE! Miyako: NO, IT’S CHOCOCONES! THE CHOCOLATE IS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER THE COOKIE! Daisuke: MORE CHOCOLATE IS BETTER!! Miyako: IF YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE THAT MUCH WHY DON’T YOU BUY A BAR INSTEAD!? THIS IS A COOKIE, YOU ARGUMENT MAKES NO SENSE!! Daisuke: YEAH?! THEN YOU SHOULD JUST BUY CHOCOLATE PASTE AND PUT IT ON NORMAL COOKIES! YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING NO SENSE HERE! Ken: Um… Can we just buy both– Daisuke and Miyako: NO! WE CAN’T! Daisuke: So, who do you think is right?? Tell us! Iori: Please leave us out of this discussion. Hikari: Uh… I… I think I will pick something else, sorry… Takeru: I got potato chips, so don’t worry about me. Ken: … I’m with Iori-kun here. [Miyako and Daisuke glances at the poor Rui] Daisuke: RUI! Rui: ? Miyako: TELL US WHICH DO YOU PREFER? CHOCOROOMS OR CHOCOCONES! Daisuke: OF COURSE IT’S CHOCOROOMS! Miyako: NOT! IT’S CHOCOCONES!! Rui: … Everyone: [looking at Rui] Rui: I think… Why not both? [← totally not aware of the grave mistake he has committed right now] Daisuke: … Miyako: … Ken/Iori/Hikari/Takeru: …  Rui: What…?

[nami-moittli]

My headcanons behind all the dub names for digimon:

Adventure:

Taichi —> Tai. Very simple, making the name shorter

Yamato —> Matt. Took a try or two to get to this nickname, but also a pretty simple nickname

Koushiro Izumi —> Izzy. At first he was called “Kou” but then one day someone called him “Izzy” instead, because it was ‘more fun to say’ and it stuck

Takeru—> T.K.. When he was like, in kindergarten or first grade, there was another kid named Takeru, so T.K. Ended up being called that

Hikari—> Kari. Once again, a very simple nickname

02:

Daisuke —> Davis. Noticed that all of his friends have nicknames, and wanted one too. Davis was the first thing he thought of

Miyako —> Yolei. Probably was just hanging out one day and decided that she wanted to give herself a weird nickname, Yolei was the one that made it out

Iori—> Cody. Yolei’s the only one who really calls him this, furthering the idea that they were just hanging out one day, and gave each other nicknames

Extra: Wallace—>Willis. Someone mispronounced his name, and now no one knows which is right

Tamers:

Jianliang—>Henry. He got tired of everyone mispronouncing his name, that he just started saying, “Call me Henry”

Ruki—>Rika. A mispronunciation of her actual name. She hates it, but it won’t leave her alone.

Shaochung—>Susie. One day Henry told her that people have a hard time saying their names, so she should pick out a nickname.

Hirokazu—>Kazu. Once again, a very easy nickname.

(Think that’s all?)

Frontier:

Takuya—>Taky. Very easy nickname.

Izumi—>Zoe. A nickname she got from her friends in Italy. She liked it so she kept it when she got back to Japan. Sometimes shortened further to Z.

Junpei—>J.P.. he wanted to act cooler, so along with the magic and chocolate, he started to introduce himself as J.P. Zoe called him out on this when they first met on the Trailmon.

Tomoki—>Tommy. Again, very easy. Like how Thomas becomes Tommy.

Data Squad/Savers:

Masaru—>Marcus. I’m not even sure. His name just got corrupted one day and it stuck. He sometimes doesn’t even respond to his actual name now

Thoma—>Thomas. Thomas is his name, though sometimes people take off the ‘s’

Ikuto—>Keenan. Ikuto is his birth name, though when he got to the digital world, no one knew that, so they just called him “Keenanmon” Keenan eventually dropped the “mon” though

Chika—>Kristy. A corruption of her name that came about one day.

(I think that’s all?)

Xros wars/Fusion/Young Hunters:

Taiki—>Mikey. Jeremy wanted to see how many people he could get to believe Taiki’s name was Mikey, so one time when he was helping out a club, he yelled, “Go Mikey!” It confused the heck out of Taiki, but now people don’t know which is right. Tagiru just calls him “T.M.” At this point

Zenjiro—>Jeremy. First it was shortened to Jiro, then Jiro became Jeremy. Probably through a mispronunciation mixed with how the name Thomas became Tommy

Akari—>Angie. Jeremy is also behind this one. Probably the same reason he calls Taiki Mikey.

Kiriha—>Christopher. Christopher’s just his middle name.

Yuu—>Ewan. Tagiru gave him this one. Though, he’s not sure how the “an” part of that nickname came to be.

And, I think that’s it. Cause Hunters and Appmon weren’t dubbed, 2020 is just a reboot, and I’m not sure if/when Ghost Game is getting dubbed, so I can’t say.

Hayato Gokudera x Female!OC: White Day Chocolates

Summary: Gokudera can learn to endure anything given the right motivation.

Rating/Warnings: T (Post-Canon; high school!Gokudera; foul language; White Day; chocolates; dinner date request; Namimori Middle School; Namimori Middle Disciplinary Committee)

Relationships: Gokudera/F!OC; F!OC & F!OC; Hibari & F!OC; referenced Tsuna/Kyoko

Tag List: @imaginesfire

Notes: This is a very humble, very fluffy one shot written for my most long-time Internet friend, Selina. We've been buddies since something like 2006, and while our interests vary, we've both recently returned to our love of Reborn, and thus resurrected our old OCs. She draws sketches of my main OC, Daisuke Fukuda, regularly, so I wanted to return the favor and write her a quick one shot to celebrate her main OC, Lin-Mei.

Just a few quick notes to make here without going into lengthy descriptions of Lin-Mei's character:

1. There's is no actual love triangle involving her, Gokudera, and Hibari. Although there are some storylines we follow where she ends up with Hibari instead, in the Gokudera "route," if you will, he's just paranoid about Hibari because he doesn't like him, and Hibari is a smug asshole who won't go out of his way to assure Gokudera that he isn't interested in "stealing" Lin-Mei from him.

2. While Lin-Mei is slightly younger than the main cast, there's not a huge age gap here. My head canon is that Hibari is old enough to be in high school during the main plot of Reborn!, so it stands to reason that Lin-Mei stays a little longer after she takes over the Disciplinary Committee as well.

3. If it matters at all to you, Lin-Mei's flame attribute is lightning. She's more affiliated with the Cavallone than with the Vongola (having been under Dino's care for several years), but she actually belongs to a specific Chinese assassin family and works for hire.

White Day Chocolates

Hayato Gokudera never had enjoyed his walks to Namimori Middle School. What a shitty trek to what was inevitably wasted time learning from teachers that didn't know what they were doing—or have any idea the massive disservice their dumbass lectures did to the great man within their midst! And there were so many obstacles to get to that waste of time, too. If it wasn't Haru cropping up to annoy everyone, it was that stupid cow causing problems. If it wasn't that stupid cow causing problems, it was Yamamoto breathing in the Tenth's general direction. If it wasn't Yamamoto breathing in the Tenth's general direction, it was group after group of girls who couldn't seem to stop giggling whenever they caught sight of Hayato. And while the first three issues weren't cropping up that afternoon, the last aggravation seemed worse than ever before.

"What are they teaching these idiots these days?" he grumbled as the latest bunch all elbowed each other at his approach. When one dared to meet his eyes, he finally snapped, "Don't you have more important things to do?"

His anger only caused them to titter more. Gritting his teeth, Hayato stalked off on his way. Clearly, there was no getting through to girls like that. Even Haru hadn't learned her lesson yet, and now he and she shared the same homeroom!

Soon the tall, faded school building rose above him. Even more girls in navy sweaters walked past him as he neared the gate, but they didn't stop to giggle. These girls were in more of a rush, and the air of nervousness about them was almost palpable. None of them so much as glanced at Hayato when he came to stop to look up at the clock. The positions of its hands told him he'd made it right on time.

He hadn't been back to Namimori in a long time. Why would he bother? Hayato was in high school now. The responsibilities placed on the Vongola Family grew every day, thus the responsibilities placed on the Tenth's right-hand man grew every day as well. Only people with nothing better to do would bother coming to their middle school just to loiter around the place and reminisce about where they had met their friends, held so-called sumo tournaments, and nearly died countless times. But the one person he could think of like that didn't seem to be around right then.

"Hayato! This is a surprise."

A cheerful, girlish voice in his ear made him jump. He turned to level a glare at whoever dared to giggle at his shock—but the girl standing next to him didn't giggle. She simply hid a smile behind her sleeve before clapping both her hands behind her back.

"Sorry," said Lin-Mei. "I just didn't expect to see you here."

The minute Hayato spotted her, the urge to scream had left him. In fact, he couldn't find his voice at all. His stomach felt a little like it did whenever he spotted his sister sans mask, only more pleasant somehow—probably because he could actually appreciate the way Lin-Mei looked. She'd pulled her brown hair up into a sweeping ponytail, and her spotless uniform differed from the rest of the girls' solely by the vivid crimson band pinned to her upper arm. She had earned that armband, too, so Hayato felt more pleased than irritated to see it, despite his distaste for the person that had worn it before her.

Lin-Mei's smile faded a little as she cocked her head to one side. "Hayato?"

"Hey, jackass. She wants to know you're doing here. Besides trespassing, that is."

Much to his chagrin, Hayato started again. He hadn't bothered to pay attention to Lin-Mei's companion, a tall woman with bleached blonde hair and thin eyebrows that looked even older than he was. Probably he'd met this Disciplinary Committee member before; they were always trailing after their leader, after all. But he'd be damned if he went to the trouble of remembering her name now.

"If you don't have a good reason to be here, screw off," the woman went on.

"I—I have a good reason," Hayato managed to blurt out.

"Do you? Then why don't you cough it up?"

"Because it's none of your goddamn business!"

"Any business taking place on Namimori Middle School grounds is the business of the Disciplinary Committee."

"Arisa."

Lin-Mei didn't raise her voice. Hell, she didn't even change her tone. With a single word and a motion of her hand, she shut her second-in-command's mouth. Arisa sent Hayato a look of purest venom, but marched away in silence, He hoped she'd been sentenced to patrol one of the less pleasant corners of the schoolyard—perhaps Ryohei's old haunt. Chances were slim they'd gotten all the sweat stink out of there yet.

"Hayato."

This time, Lin-Mei grasped his wrist as she spoke. This time, he didn't jump. He just looked into her deep brown eyes—and felt vaguely, again, like he was going to throw up in some unimaginably satisfying way.

"What's the matter?" she asked as she released him. "Do you have a message for me from the Tenth?"

"Well —"

"You know we'll do whatever he needs, me and the girls."

"Right. But —"

"I don't have to tell them who the order comes from if that's what you're worried about. I'll be discrete."

"I didn't come on behalf of the Tenth!"

Why the hell did that take so much effort to spit out? Hayato wasn't a coward, and Lin-Mei absolutely was not his sister or anything like her. He ought to have been able to come in, say what he had to say, and move on. If Yamamoto asked him how things went later—and he certainly would just to spite Hayato—Hayato was not going to tell the Baseball Idiot that he'd chickened out.

"Okay," Lin-Mei said slowly. When he didn't launch at once into an explanation of why he'd come, then, she went on, "Then what gives? I will have to punish you for trespassing if you don't really have a good reason for being here."

Hibari would be pleased. Hayato knew she meant it when she said it, too. Before he could make an even bigger fool of himself then he already had, he screwed up his eyes and said:

"It's March 14th."

Of the whole host of reactions he had expected to result from this proclamation, last on the last was a blink and a curious, "What?"

"It's March 14th," he said again through gritted teeth. "Valentine’s Day was a month ago."

"And?"

The most infuriating thing about this conversation was that Lin-Mei wasn't attempting to raise his blood pressure. She obviously did not understand what Hayato was trying to say. And since he'd come this far, he didn't want to walk away now.

"And I came by...to bring you...some chocolates."

With this last ludicrous confession out of the way, he produced the box he'd been carrying around in his school bag. Lin-Mei's eyes went wide. She gazed at Hayato with open astonishment.

"But Hayato, I didn't give you any chocolates for Valentine's Day."

"I know!" He shoved some hair from his face, hardly noticing when Lin-Mei lifted the box lid to examine the chocolates inside. "I just walked in on the Tenth making some for Kyoko last night, and Reborn was there, and he kept going on and on about the importance of White Day, and how Hibari would understand it, and if the whole chocolate-giving thing worked for the Tenth, it would definitely work for Hibari, and...and...I don't know! I just panicked!"

Lin-Mei swallowed a mouthful of chocolate before stating, "Hibari hasn't given me any White Day chocolate."

"He-he hasn't?"

"No." She pulled the box from his grip and took a bite of another piece of chocolate. "But did you really think a package of store-bought candy would have put you over the top if he had?"

"As though I could cook anything without Bianchi getting into it when she found out who I was making it for," Hayato muttered. Lin-Mei stare made him squirm. How could she just stand there mowing through the chocolates without saying anything? Before she could polish the whole damn thing off and be on her way, he took a deep breath and barreled forward: "That's why there's a part two."

"Part two?"

"Ye-Yeah. I also wanted to know if you'd...if you'd come to dinner with me tonight."

Lin-Mei said nothing. He fixed his eyes on his shoes and did not look up. The minutes crawled passed with nothing to break them up except for her continued chewing. At last, he could take it no longer. He risked glancing upward to see her reaction. Was she gawking at him, shocked that someone like Hayato would do something like ask her out? Was she bright red with embarrassment because he'd confused her signals? No. She really was just steadily eating her way through the box, though she paused long enough to ask:

"Can we talk about the latest post on Mysterious Universe over dinner?"

He could hardly believe his luck, or the fact that her question made him grin fit to put Yamamoto's usual expression to shame. "Of course!"

"It's a date!" Lin-Mei shoved the remains of her gift back into his hands. "But we'll have to go later. I already promised Arisa that we'd go over some budgetary concerns after patrol this afternoon."

Well, that sucked some of the buoyancy out of his grin. But he didn't dare try to talk her out of her Disciplinary Committee duties. He knew from experience that would only end badly for him. "Am I allowed to wait here?" he asked. Facing Yamamoto or the Tenth after this would be a nightmare. Better to put that off as long as possible.

Maybe she understood that, because Lin-Mei appeared to consider his request for a moment. Then she said, "Only if you promise not to smoke on school grounds."

It was the same tone she'd used on Arisa earlier. And just as Arisa knew better than to argue, so did he. "Fine."

Her final smile caused the butterflies from earlier to surge back into his stomach. Hayato thought the sensation couldn't get worse until she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. Before he could recover—hell, before he could even string two coherent thoughts together—Lin-Mei turned on her heel, looked at him over her shoulder, and fluttered her fingers in his direction.

"See you later, Hayato. Happy White Day!"

She was gone in a flash, leaving Hayato standing at the school gate and holding a half-empty box of chocolates, probably looking like the biggest moron in the world (and given his competition solely in the Vongola Family, that was saying something). A few straggling students leaving their approved after-school clubs laughed as they walked by him. He found he didn't care. As he settled against a wall to wait for Lin-Mei to return, he thought to himself that he would endure every agony of walking to Namimori every day, giggling girls and all, if it meant getting to see her smile...and to pull the rug out from underneath Hibari's feet.

Part 2

Curly: Whats it about? Capitalism, the work ethics of toxicity, how the reaction of this kind of environment creates an atmosphere of uncertainty, unsafe conditions…

Jimmy: My character was a reaction to it sadly, mentally struggling, and then….*sigh* Having an ounce of power, he believes he was immune to it while also believing everyone should face the wrath of it? Not sure how to elaborate but take it as, he saw he had power over Anya. But not with Curly, only when Curly is talking to him as a friend is when he shows that he can overwhelm Curly.

Anya: Scary how this is the real world we live in today, I hope everyone understands the parallels.

Paparazzi: What about the ships?

Swansea: Ship whoever is a consenting adult with another consenting adult. Thats, thats how it works with ships correct?

Daisuke: Yea but people tend to be weird like make HCs and water us down I suppose.

Swansea:….I’m getting a beer

Anya: No drinking! *hands him a shirley temple*

Curly: Ships and AUs, I like them, especially ones that dig deep about our characters and show the toxic culture surrounding us. Capitalism, mental health issues, toxic masculinity and relationships. Heck assault culture being brushed aside whether anyone likes it or not…the game shows what Capitalism can create and how Pony Express was a terrible work environment.

Jimmy: Agreed, Jimmy shouldn’t have been on board. Curly knew he was struggling on earth, which actually is a great time to promote our sequel.

Curly: Ugh How fish are made. I cried a bit knowing that Curly in the end was dead, it makes sense. No chance of being found, then….yea…I hope he- er My character? Knows that he and Jimmy were just- sadly chain reactions to how toxic work environments and Capitalism can’t be combatted if not handled with urgency.

Daisuke: Word, also. You think the fans will understand? And ya know be chill with ya know Alternate Universes?

Swansea: Probably not if the Press is askin us about ships. Platonic relationships is where its at if ya ask me.

Anya: I’m askin for sure, imagine if in another universe they’re all enjoying hot chocolate and getting therapy. Aghh

Curly: With all the small events?

Anya: Mhm!

Jimmy: Sounds nice, nice to know a Canon so bad can make others want peace for each character….

Mouthwashing Actor AU

Jimmy: My character, is mentally struggling, manipulative, and a leech. So lots of therapy needed for the thought process with him. Its honestly annoying seeing people idolize him, sure the empathy makes sense because he represents a struggling class but, if I saw him. I’m calling the cops, him hurting the medic and then trying to kill her, don’t even get me started on the statue. What was the reason? He represents how some of these kinds of people aren’t just already gross and disgusting, they could be people who are your close friends.

Anya: Jeez, you’re so self aware about him. More than, some of the fans….

Jimmy: Look hate him and like him but don’t justify his actions.

Daisuke: Damn son! My character was sorta naive but he’s smart too! He just doesn’t see it because he’s so busy following orders. Sorta like the demographic of kids, we seek leadership and want to make our parents proud!

Anya: You also cheat at games.

Daisuke: Put cho paws up girl!

Anya: My character, she’s an amazing representation of what victims go through, the loneliness, the devastation, I simply hope everyone who sees her doesn’t water her down but understand that she is brave, jubilant, mindful and super smart. Maybe in another universe everyone is happy. I hope so, I wouldn’t want Anya to remain in a world where she’s stuck in devastation.

Swansea: Heavy kid, Curly what do you-….

Curly: *sniffle* Its so beautiful.

Swansea: Eh, my character and Curly’s are sorta parallels. He knew Jimmy but not fully and didn’t do much to stop em, meanwhile Swansea did and yet he still couldn’t/didn’t do much. Thats why their eyes are gone, symbolism is at play. Just like when Swansea had to mercy kill Daisuke, tough decisions for folks like that. Especially when neither of them took Anya’s job seriously. Its a lot of circumstances and damned if ya do or damned if ya don’t for Curly and Swansea.

Curly: Oh yea I forgot! Man, they are just naive.

Swansea: Yep

Jimmy: Agreed.

Curly: The word enabling gets thrown at him too much, in the wrong conjunction. Curly enables everyone and everyone enables each other, he fails at being Captain when he first let Jimmy on the ship, sure everything was nice but at some point the mental distress, mental deterioration, it got to them. They didn’t take the psych evaluation seriously, Pony Express didn’t take them seriously. In the end Curly as a Captain failed, he failed as a friend for Anya specifically. Sure he’d be a safe person but he doesn’t take Anya’s words into consideration. It’s a lot to take in, honestly.

Anya: In the sequel, Curly hates himself to the core. He wasn’t perfect, or a good man. But he definitely isn’t a bad person, he like everyone is flawed.

Jimmy: *patting his back* Well said pal, therapy for everyone though. Because that shit was horrifying.

Crasona: Sir you can’t just be cursing!

Jimmy: My fault.

Crasona: Now, would ya’ll like it better if Jimmy didn’t exist in this game.

Curly:…So another delivery simulator slice of life?

Crasona: Shhh the fans are asking

Jimmy: Crasona get the microphone away from me.

Anya: Oh my gawd.

Daisuke: Character development flushed down the toilet!

Swansea: And folks wonder why I drink…

Happy Valentine’s Day darlin’

Jigen x gn! Reader

Requested: anonymous

could you do a romantic x reader oneshot on Daisuke jigen ❤ (where jigen plans a special valentine's surprise for the reader (a special lunch, Gifts: (chocolates, Giant stuffed animals, and flowers) and a romantic dinner, with lupin and goemon's help)!

I hope you enjoy this! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone :)

Warnings: literal tooth rotting fluff. Mentions of a gunshot wound, but no detail

You woke up to the sound of Lupin yelling something to Goemon and you groaned in annoyance. Turning onto your side, you hummed softly as you felt for your gunman beside you. But your hand nothing found nothing but disrupted sheets and no gunman. You opened your eyes, looking around only to find an empty room. Sliding out of bed, you brought the blanket with you and wrapped it around your shoulders to remain warm.

There was a note taped to the door to which you shuffled over and stared at it for a moment, rubbing the sleep from your eyes before trying to read it again. ‘Good afternoon darlin, go talk to Goemon and Lupin and they’ll bring you to our place.’ read the note, his slanted handwriting nearly running off the paper and you chuckled softly. Whistling softly, you prepared for the day. You dressed up a little more than usual, not too much, but enough to look nicer than your typical day to day or heist look.

“Good afternoon!” You called to Lupin and Goemon, both turning and smiling at you as well as a wave from Goemon. “Good afternoon sleepyhead! You sure woke up late,” Lupin lightly chided and you smacked his shoulder with a laugh. “Oh give me a break, being your get away driver is more tiring than you think!” This pulled a laugh from Goemon as he watched you two smack each other’s shoulders. “Shall we begin our drive?” Goemon asked simply and you looked over at him before nodding. This caused Lupin to grab your shoulders from behind, practically shoving you out the door with a wide smile while exclaiming, “Let’s go let’s go let’s go!”

You knew exactly where you were going. It was a simple hill really to anyone else, nothing more than a hill that overlooked the valley. But for you and Jigen, it was a special hill.

-

The gang had just pulled off a heist and it was a scramble to get away before Zenigata caught you. Splitting up, you had gone with Jigen while Lupin, Goemon and Fujiko went off together. Jigen had caught a bullet in the shoulder, leaving him unable to shoot right as the two of you ran. His uninjured arm was over your shoulder as you half ran, half dragged him with you as he grunted softly in pain followed by a string of hushed swears. “C’mon Jiji,” you muttered as you pulled him along, apologising as he continued to swear softly.

“Jeez Jigen, I thought I was making it obvious,” you laughed as he leaned against you with a sharp inhale. “Makin’ what obvious?” He asked, causing you to laugh again, turning to look at him with a gentle smile. “That I like you dummy,” you said and he looked at you. At this angle, you could clearly see his eyes. His brown eyes were searching yours, looking for any trace of deception. Upon realising the sincerity of your words, he smiled warmly at you, “I think now’s a good time to say I feel the same.” He leaned over, the brim of his hat bending against your head and you laughed before reaching up to pull off his hat. With the barrier removed, the two of you were able to meet in a sweet and soft kiss.

Lupin pulled up to the end of the dirt street, parking and hoping out. Before you had the chance to open your door, Lupin had already bounced over to your door and opened it for you. “Here we are m’lady!” He said with a little bow, smiling as you laughed. “Thank you Lupin,” you replied as you stepped out of the Fiat, looking up at the tree on the hill

And there he was. Your beloved gunman with a lopsided smile.

He was standing next to a blanket on the ground with a large stuffed bear and bouquet of flowers in his arms. You laughed as you ran up to him, nearly throwing yourself into his arms as he dropped the flowers in favour of holding you steady. “Happy Valentine’s Day darlin’,” Jigen said softly as you hugged him. “Happy Valentine’s Day Jiji,” you replied as you pulled him down for a kiss. Jigen pulled his hat off, using it as a barrier to prevent Lupin and Goemon from seeing your kiss. But the two had already returned to the Fiat, giving you two your alone time.

He set you down before setting the large stuffed bear on the blanket, motioning to the simple yet romantic picnic he had laid out, “care to join me for lunch?” He asked and you couldn’t help but chuckle, taking a seat on the blanket and leaning back against the large stuffed bear, almost using it as a chair of sorts. He was quick to join you on the blanket, pulling off his hat and setting it beside him. Carefully picking up the bottle of champagne he had brought, Jigen popped the cork and you both laughed as it landed right on his head with a gentle thump.

You held up the two champagne glasses for him as he poured the bubbly drink before taking one glass from your hands. “Cheers!” The two of you said, gently clinking your glasses together before drinking. As you continued to sip your champagne, Jigen pulled out the fancy sandwiches from the wicker picnic basket and set it atop the basket. The air was soon filled with your voices, chatting as you shared the lunch, which would also end up being dinner as well.

Jigen moved the empty sandwich plate from the wicker basket before opening the basket once more. Peeking over curiously, you watched as he pulled out a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries, each carefully decorated with white chocolate drizzled on top. “And last but not least,” he said as he set the plate between you both, “your favourite, chocolate dipped strawberries!” You clapped with a delighted laugh, quickly plucking a strawberry from the plate before holding it up to him. “Hey! These are for you,” Jigen said as he gently pushed your hand back. “Well if they’re for me, I’m choosing to share them with you Jiji,” you retorted with a smile as he rolled his eyes with a chuckle. “Alright alright,” he laughed, taking the strawberry from your hand, “we can share them.”

The sun had dipped below the horizon, giving the two of you a beautiful view of the sunset. Jigen joined you, leaning against the large stuffed bear while you laid on his chest as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders. “Thank you for setting this up for me,” you muttered and you could feel the rumble of his chest as he chuckled. “Of course doll, what else would I do on Valentine’s Day?” He asked, pressing a kiss to the top of your head with a smile. You hummed for a moment, pretending to be deep in thought before smiling, “sleep in and cuddle.” Jigen laughed heartily as he pulled you closer, “we can do that tomorrow morning, I’ll make up for the ones you missed this morning.” You cheered lightly, much to his delight as he watched the sunlight fade and the stars began to show.

“I love you so much.”

day five: alternate universe

a studio ghibli au where hikari is an only child and her mother has passed. luckily, the neighborhood boys offer to help find her.

The floorboards creaked under her socked feet, soot covering the once pristine cotton. Hikari didn’t care if her clothes got dirty, but she didn’t want to give her father another reason to fret over her.

Cardboard boxes littered the hallway. Despite moving in a week prior, neither her or her father had the motivation or strength to pry open memories. Instead, Hikari stacked the boxes in a makeshift castle. One day, she hoped that their Queen would find her way home.

But she had been there to see her mother’s coffin lower in the ground; she had held her father as he wept.

A bookbag hung mockingly in the kitchen. The first day of school, once the happiest day of Hikari’s life, now served as a reminder of yet another first her mother would miss. Her father slouched over the stove. Hikari couldn’t help but to feel responsible for the bags under his eyes. In between finalizing the funeral arrangements and moving across the country, he had little energy to spare for Hikari, much less himself.

A whiff of burnt eggs did little to calm her anxieties, but she stomached her breakfast like a dutiful daughter.

“See you later, dad.”

He gave a half-hearted wave as Hikari slipped out of the front door. For a moment, she considered staying home for another day. She could unpack her room and make sure that her father ate a decent lunch, but her silent wishes disappeared as a herd of boys clamoured down the dirt road. Their feet pounded the ground, a race in progress. Six bookbags struggled to maintain their grasps on little shoulders as the group ran down the road.

A raven-haired boy took the lead, navigating the rocks and potholes with a practiced ease.

From the end of her driveway, Hikari watched him draw nearer. Too focused on his impending victory, the boy failed to notice her as he stopped beside her.

“See, ‘Keru? I told you I could win!”

A head of sweaty, blond hair followed close behind. Once he caught his breath, he pushed his friend’s side. The victor erupted into giggles as he continued to antagonize his friend.

With a huff, the blond crossed his arms. His cheeks were still rosy from the wind, blue eyes bright with mirth. “That’s not fair, Ken! You got a head start!”

Before Ken was able to muster up a response, a second redhead stepped forward.

“Who are you?” An accusing finger hung in front of Hikari’s face. Six pairs of eyes, colored in surprised, focused on her. A flush crawled up her neck, her breath caught in her throat.

Her mother had taught her about the importance of a first impression, but any confidence Hikari had dissipated into the morning air. Her fingers had gone numb, palms clammy. A toe dug into the dirt, her eyes focusing on the path to school. They looked at her expectantly, eyes narrowed. Silence crackled like static, interrupted by impatience.

“She’s weird. Let’s go, Daisuke.” Ken pulled his mirror image along with him, scurrying away like frightened animals.

The others didn’t bother to stick around, chasing each other the rest of the way to school.

Hikari waited for their dust trail to settle before walking down the path. Anxiety welled into her stomach; her mother would be disappointed in her. A gentle gust of wind ruffled her bangs in reassurance.

Her feet carried her onward, further away from the comforts of her new house. The school building emerged from the meadow, a field of flowers surrounding it on either side. It reminded Hikari of the story books her father used to read to her before bedtime, back when his smile reached his eyes and her mother was there .

Throngs of children gathered like dandelion seeds on a breeze, rosy cheeks and kind smiles adorning most faces. The strange group of boys stood off to one side. Huddled in a circle, their eyes trailed her suspiciously as Hikari made her way into the building.

Her little hands clutched the straps of her bookbag, as if pulling it closer to her body would quench her worries.

Living amongst rice farmers and livestock had been her father’s choice. Hikari’s mother had been raised in the countryside, escaping into the city for her first taste of freedom. It was strange to think that her mother, headstrong and accomplished, had sat in this same room; studied at these same desks.

The room was large, accommodating for all of the children in the village. With the older kids staking their claim in the back, Hikari rushed to the last empty space.

A pair of large blue eyes gazed at her, fear puckering at their eyebrow. It was the blond boy from earlier, his cheeks still flushed from his loss. Hikari squirmed under his gaze.

His fear must have dissipated quickly. It was the only explanation Hikari had for the fingers that poked into her side between lessons.

“Psst. Psst, girl.”

Her pencil continued to scratch at her paper, dodging dirty looks from the other students. His fingers continued to dig into her sensitive side. Thin lips pursed as Hikari swallowed down the giggle that bubbled in her throat. It would be disrespectful to laugh while her teacher was talking, and she figured that disappointing her mother once already was enough.

Still, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but to tilt upwards. Chocolate eyes danced around his cerulean ones, and his fingers stilled.

“My name’s Takeru. What’s yours?” Whispering came naturally to some while a sense of quiet evaded others. Hikari assumed that Takeru was a part of the latter, his voice bouncing off the walls.

Some luck must have been on her side. Their teacher had been distracted with the younger students, too encaptured in their homesick tears to hear the blond’s outburst.

“You need to be quiet or we’ll get in trouble,” she chastised. A crestfallen shadow danced across his features before the light returned to his eyes.

“But you never answered my question.” Takeru’s voice was more hushed than before - he was trying. A toothy grin was plastered on his cheeks, his eyes aglow with childish anticipation.

She slipped her given name through her teeth, turning her full attention towards the chalkboard.

Later, the late summer sun kissed her cheeks as school children began their trek home. Takeru rushed out behind her, looking more like a mother duck with five boys in tow than an elementary student.

“So, Hikari, since when did you live here?” Glasses glinting in the sunlight, it was difficult to see what the dark-haired boy was thinking. Several paces ahead, Hikari wracked her brain for his name. As soon as school ended, Takeru had wasted no time in introducing her to everyone. Their names swam around in her head, none of them sticking.

“My father and I moved here a few weeks ago.” She didn’t turn to them, nor did she offer any other explanation.

One of the boys scoffed. “Why’d you have to move here?” It must have been Ken, the one with angry eyebrows. Hikari stopped, turning to face him. “Well, it’s not like I had a choice. My dad just wanted a change of scenery ever since my mom went away.”

Iori’s sugary smile wilted, looking up towards the tallest of their group. “That’s sad. Right, Koushiro?”

He nodded while the others let silence wash over them. Pebbles crunched underneath them as they continued on. Wind whistled through the treetops, a babbling brook accompanying the group on their journey. Crickets chimed in harmony, the background music to a most auspicious moment.

“I know!” Takeru propelled himself beside her, arms flailing in excitement. “We can help you find your Mama!” Grabbing her wrist, he broke into a sprint. The air was warm as it ran through her short hair.

He guided them to the edge of woods. Trees stretched to the sky, their arms caressing the clouds. Hikari pulled herself out of Takeru’s grasp as the group followed him further into the forest. “Wait! Where are you going?”

Hikari could see her house just over the hill, her stomach twisting at the thought of going back to her boxed up home. The boys disappeared into the underbrush, their twinkling laughter chasing after them. Impulsively, she started after them, branches scratching at her cheeks. A stray root caught Hikari’s ankle. A pair of spindly arms caught her, Daisuke’s disgruntled expression greeting her.

“You should be more careful. I don’t want cooties.” He stuck his tongue out, weaving through the trees. It seemed as if the dust bunnies from her house had followed her here, dancing around the feet of her young companions. Cheerfully, the soot sprites lead them deeper.

The trees gave way to a clearing. Lush, green grass was bordered by wildflowers, the occasional bumble bee flitting around.

“This is exactly where a Momma would wait for her baby!” Takeru declared, a triumphant grin spread across his cheeks as if he had already won. The others seemed to agree, their chatter flowing freely amidst the tree trunks.

Boisterous plants sprouted at the meadow’s edge.With leaves as big as Iori himself, he found it no trouble to crawl underneath them. Using the hem of his shirt to wipe the sweat off his glasses, Jou peered over the tops of the bushes. “Is she under there, Iori?”

Poking his head out from between the leaves, Iori shook his head. “It’s too dark under here for a grown lady,” he paused for a moment, brown eyes glistening, “And it’s too dark for six-year-old boys.” His voice wavered, tears gathering in the corners of his eyes. In an attempt to avoid the inevitable, Jou tugged Iori out of the brush.

Little soot sprites tangled themselves in his hair, chittering at the commotion. “C’mon, you know it’s rude to ask for a free ride.” Not even enchanted dust bunnies could argue with Jou’s logic. They cascaded down to the ground, tittering as their host swatted at his hair.

Daisuke couldn’t help but to laugh from the treeline, legs dangling off Koushiro’s shoulers. Being the tallest in the group came with a price, one that he happily paid anytime his friends needed him.

From this new vantage point, Daisuke scanned the branches for something. “Hey, Hikari!”

Koushiro’s grip tightened on his knees as the pair turned towards her.

Alone, in the middle of the lush grass, she looked like a fairy. If fairies wore ill-fitting Pokemon theme shirts, that is. She turned towards them, a question dancing in her eyes.

“Does your mom like climbing trees? Maybe she got stuck!” Daisuke almost gave himself a pat on the back; he was so smart!

With the leaves ruffling his cheeks, Daisuke’s attention was easily diverted. He signaled for Koushiro to take him deeper into the woods, much to Hikari’s relief. She didn’t have the heart to say it out loud.

Not too far from her, Ken sat amongst the wild blackberry bushes. His cheeks were swollen with fruit, lips stained purple. Hikari plopped herself down beside him. With his mouth full, he was less likely to ask questions she didn’t want to answer.

Ken’s attempt at speaking was obscured by the berries, a few stray escaping past his lips. Hikari couldn’t stop her laughter, a relief from the turmoil that bubbled in her stomach. Picking a few fresh from the vine, Ken offered his sticky palm, blackberries glistening on top.

“Thank you,” she said, tossing a few in her mouth. Takeru plopped himself between the two, taking two of Ken’s berries for his own. “Wow, these are good!”

True to his boisterous nature, Takeru’s voice reverberated through the meadow. Four curious heads turned before they, too, joined the impromptu picnic.

“Hikari, do you ever think you’ll find your momma?”

She wasn’t sure who asked the question. Cicadas carried on their twilight lullaby as the sun kissed the horizon in passing.

Fireflies began to twinkle at the treeline. Hikari looked up into six pairs of softened eyes. Though their curiosity rolled off of them like waves, none of them said anything else.

The grass was soft underneath her, the breeze caressing her cheek. “I’m sure I will, someday. But, for now, at least you guys keep me company.”
