Hi, a lot of people have been asking you about Before the Fall but I was wondering if, by any chance, you might have something in your drafts for Portraits of 119th. I just miss this collection a little, haha. So yes, I just wanted to ask! Good luck with everything and I hope the remaining days of this crazy year will be good to you 🍀

Hi! I hope you’re doing well too! This year has been so much. I have an embarrassing amount of Portraits of 119 WIPs in my drafts. Here’s one that centers on the new Polar Star kids (sorry it isn’t finished yet!)

Yukihira Raiden knew that it was rare for his father to ask favors of him, so when the old man called to see if he could check up on a friend’s shop over summer break, he had agreed without hesitation.

“You guys really didn't have to give up your whole break for this,” Raiden reminded his friends for the umpteenth time as they pulled up to the Okinawa beach house great-grandpa Nakiri left him in the will.

“This is way nicer than the beach trip I had planned anyway,” Utau said with a shrug. After receiving murder stares from Maria and Yuna, she backpedaled a bit. “Uh, I mean we're your friends and we have your back and stuff.”

“Thanks, Kawashima,” he said with a grin. “I'm gonna take a look around, but listen, hot tub's out back.”

“You don't have to tell me twice,” Utau sang as she made her way out to the patio. And of course Aoki-senpai was right on her heels.

“Library's upstairs,” he continued.

Yuna nearly gasped. It was said that the late Nakiri Senzaemon held an unprecedented number of rare culinary texts and personal food writing in his private collections. “T-thanks, Yukihira-kun,” she squeaked before mounting the stairs with a wide-eyed Endomoto Kairi behind her.

“So where are we headed?” Sosuke asked when only he and Maria remained.

“Are you sure you don't want to check out the beach or something?” Raiden asked them.

Maria just shrugged. “We can all head to the beach when we’re done with this.”

The shop was a quaint seaside shack, where beach-vacationers and locals alike could walk in for some world class casual faire.

However, despite the throngs of students on the beach and commuters racing home with the evening rush hour, the restaurant was all but deserted when the Totsuki students arrived.

“You kids are early,” the owner chef said as he came around to shake their hands.

“What seems to be the problem?” Maria asked after tasting chef's takoyaki. Everything they’d sampled has been delicious.

“There’s a place up the beach that’s recently come under new management. They cut deals with some of my suppliers to drive up the prices, and brought in some hotshots to revamp their menu.”

“That’s awful,” Maria said. “We’ll do whatever we can to help.”

“Someone’s pumping money into dude’s competition,” Sosuke said as soon as they left the shack. “Probably took one hell of a bribe to turn the vendors.”

“Who had that kind of pull?” Maria questioned, still nibbling on her stick on dango. “Well, besides your people?”

“I guess we’re about to find out.”

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT THE MUN.

Repost, not reblog! Tag 6 muns you would like to get to know better when done!

Name: Nicole, nothin’ special. Age: I recently turned 18 back in June soooo yeet idontwannaadult Faceclaim: I don’t have one, heck I don’t think i will? Since I barely have enough time to make Runa’s icons. But if I had to have one it would probably be:

Takane Enomoto/Ene from Kagepro

or Rika Furude/Bernkastel from Higurashi/Umineko (since they looked alike so meh)

(all credit goes to their respective owners, obviously I didn’t make these drawings, i just cropped them ) Pronouns: she/her  Height: I have no clue. 5 something probably Birthday: June 28th Aesthetic: Does Neku Sakuraba’s entire being count? No, okay well: I guess um... Disney/Music/Blue/”I am Here”/BAND Last song you listened to: I’m listening to a Disney Channel Don’t Sing Challenge, but the last song I sang to was “I Gotta Be Me” from Teen Beach 2.

Favourite muse(s) you’ve written: I started roleplaying on Facebook, and I still do, but yeah whatever. I have tons of pages(muses) on there. The ones I have the most fun writing is Runa, Leia(Runa’s Nobody/Roxas’ Twin), Kano Shuuya from Kagerou Project, and believe it or not I actually did/do roleplay as Joshua from TWEWY. I also enjoyed writing Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls and Pacifica Pines from the Reverse Falls AU (also I understand that it’s supposed to be Pacifica Southeast, but nah, my Pacifica is a Pines and so is Gideon).

What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on): On Tumblr? Or from the beginning? If for Tumblr because I wanted to have her interact with more people, who knew it’d be tons more harder on here than on Facebook. In the beginning, back on Facebook, I wanted to rp as Runa simply because I liked her? I mean, I also was pretty curious about the rp community, and that’s how I met one of my best friends (who played Sora and dear god). I also wanted to expand her character more and wanted to see how well people interacted with her. Gonna ramble for a bit here: But like, some of my favorite interactions with Runa are with characters from characters I didn’t expect to approach me about. Like seriously, there’s this really amazing roleplay with my friend (different one) who played as Levi from Attack on Titan and Runa is stuck on the World of TItans and aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!! I loved it. We also came up with an idea that Levi is like Runa and Sora’s babysitter and dear god I love it. I just like making stories from the weirdest of things.

What are your favourite aspects of your current muse: My favorite? Well, I like how she’s trying her best to keep those around her happy, giving advice and helping them through their problems in the best way they can. But, I also love how it gets in the way of her own happiness sometimes. Majority of the time, Runa has a hard time saying “No”. I love how contradictory she is on certain things, like getting help. She’ll tell her friends to not be afraid to turn to her and their friends for help, bur Runa can’t / won’t do that when she needs help. Another thing that I like about her is that, she /tries/ to be the responsible one in the group, kinda like the mediator. She doesn’t mind doing some dumb stuff from time to time, but like here’s the cool/confusing/weird/relatable thing about her: She’s technically a no-nonsense person in a sense, but like it’s super easy to get her to do something childish/reckless. It’s kinda like Runa has two different aspects of her personality constantly fighting. She wants to be a child, but she knows she needs to be responsible. Runa also believes that you /have/ to be a kid sometimes. And like the last thing, is her relationship with Sora. They’re siblings and after a decent amount of time passes after reuniting, the two act like any typical siblings. They argue, they get into fights with each other, they tease, they’re complete dorks. Runa’s technically the more mature out of the two, or at least that’s how I see it, despite being younger than him, but Sora has a way of getting her to let loose.

What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing: MUSIC. Dude you do not understand. I LOVE MUSIC. Have you not seen that mess of a playlist on my blog xD Anyway, yeah, music is such a huge inspiration for my writing. I sometimes, I might actually need to be listening to a certain song/piece to get something going. But, not all the time does it relate to the post. It just helps me come up with some things. Music goes the same way for my drawings and art. The music I listen to is essentially Runa in a sense, since a lot of the songs I listen to I can somehow make it connect to her and her character. Listening to music lets me picture scenarios and scenes, sometimes even music video ideas (if had anything to animate with well xD)

Favourite types of threads: I like expanding on Runa’s character. And you know how to do that? Put her through ANGST. DUDE I NEED IT! I ENJOY WRITING IT! I want to see her struggle coming to terms with certain things. I want her to get stuck in a hole and not accept help from her friends, even though she tells /them/ to not be afraid to ask for help from her and others. I want her to realize that she’s not being fair to them in that sense and that sends her down even more. I want to explore her flaws, I want to expose her mistakes. I want her to question why she’s like this and be mad at herself. But, I don’t want her to just suffer. I want her to be happy. I want her to find her “Happy End” and reunite with the people she hasn’t seen since she was 5. I want her to see Sora all grown up and yet hasn’t changed in the slightest in terms of personality. I want her to see Riku and Kairi and hear their stories. I just want sweet and touching reunion pieces. But, I also love the idea that Runa’s jumping across dimensions and bumping into Soras’ that don’t have siblings, that at some point she’s used to it, but it still hurts cause she can’t seem to find /hers/.

Biggest struggle in regards to your current muse: Besides trying to not be a terrible writer and making Runa a terrible character in that way. I guess the hardest thing would be to put how she feels into words for the Reader to read. I’ve said it before, Runa’s emotions and thoughts often conflict with each other, and more often than not depending when in the timeline/verse, Runa /knows/ this, specially if it’s past KH3D. Runa cares about others happiness so much, she’ll painfully and gladly toss her happiness aside if it means to see her friends smile. Another problem would be finding that good balance between being the responsible one and being the childish one, with the childish aspect of herself being the more influencing of her actions and the responsible aspect of her being what holds her back doing certain actions. Honestly, the hardest thing is to not make come off as over dramatic or as a poorly written character.

Hi, if it’s not too much to ask may I ask for a snippet or something in that way for Yuna and Kairi? I am curious on how their interactions look like.

Of course! Thanks for the request! 

The first time Enomoto Kairi laid eyes on Marui Yuna — in the honors literature class that only the worst kind of nerds would sign up for at a school like Totsuki — she reminded him a little of Snow White, with her red lips and short black hair.

It was an image that persisted in his mind despite the many valid reasons — from her being very clearly in love with someone else to the fact that she was the daughter of his mother’s ex-fiance who’d left her for a television personality — why it would have been smart of him not to pursue her.

But pursue her he had, in his own unobtrusive way. And he still wasn’t sure whether he’d live to regret it.

She was outside in the garden, lying at the base of a tall tree and reading her latest historical romance. As he drew closer, bearing a bowl of tsukimi udon and a book light, he saw that she was squinting slightly. She always became so immersed in her stories that she became blind to the passing hours, the sun’s evening retreat.

“Yuna-san,” he said gently, knowing that she would not think to look up, even if someone was standing directly in front of her. “It’s nighttime already.”

“Huh?” She glanced up from her book — Jane Eyre, again — and rubbed at her right eye beneath her glasses. “It was just two o’clock,” she said, mostly to herself.

That was when she had decided to come outside with her novel rather than listen to Ibusaki-kun on the phone with his girlfriend. Kairi wondered how much time it had taken her to stop thinking about him, and how much he had until she’d start again.

“You should eat something,” he said, offering her the udon recipe he’d revised three times before working up the nerve to approach her. “And maybe read in better light.”

Yuna stretched. “What would I do without you, Kairi?” she asked with an easy smile that never failed to unmoor him.

As she reached up to take the food from him, and he reached down to give it to her, they both noticed that there were no chopsticks for her to eat with.

Kairi could have slapped himself in the face; he’d gotten so wrapped up in finding one of those book lights with the adjustable necks that he’d completely forgotten.

“Ah, sorry, Yuna-san,” he said, turning fire-engine red. “I’ll run inside and go get some.”

She shook her head before placing the bookmark carefully between the pages. Then she stood, somewhat unsteadily, in the way of someone whose leg had been asleep for several hours. “It’s fine. Let’s head back in.”

“You’re sure?” he asked. “It would only take me a minute.”

“I can’t hide out here forever,” she said with a small sigh, and started to walk.

Kairi watched her go for a moment, porcelain skin and midnight hair, and wondered if he imagined the way the grass and plants all bent before her, the way the woodland creatures slowed in deference as she passed.

She turned around sharply, one hand resting on her hip as she appraised him. “Kairi, come on.”

Needless to say, he didn’t have to be told twice.

Even if he was doomed to suffer the same fate as his mother, which seemed more likely than not, he’d walk behind her — as lab partner, friend, shoulder to cry on — as long as she wanted him there.

Snow Day (Portraits of 119)

Summary: In which Yukihira Raiden tries to be spontaneous and it backfires on him. 

“Yukihira-kun,” Utau gushed as they all stepped out of the stretch limo in front of the Nakiri family’s private ski lodge in Nagano. “Have I ever told you how much your presence at Totsuki has improved my overall quality of life?” 

“Every five minutes since we left the dorm,” he told her, grinning. With Sosuke gone and no weekend plans to speak of, they had been so bored on campus that Raiden decided to bring them all up. “Anyway, enjoy, everybody.” 

“This is way too generous,” Yuna said, watching as a butler came and unloaded all their weekend bags. “It’s too bad Sosuke had to go home this weekend.”

“We just won’t tell him how nice it was,” Enomoto Kairi said to her. “It would be cruel.” 

Raiden shook his head slightly. So it looked like specs was finally going to shoot his shot this time. He then turned to Maria and linked arms with her. “I can’t wait for you to try the hot chocolate. My Aunt Alice always has them ship in chocolate from Belgium. You’re gonna be impressed.” 

She raised her eyebrows in mock-incredulity. “I don’t know. I take my chocolate seriously.”

Raiden was just telling them all about the rooms on the top floor with hot tubs on the balconies when he saw none other than Mimasaka Sumire coming in from the slopes. She was red-cheeked and messy-haired, looking like she’d been skiing all morning.

“What is Hayama-san’s secretary doing here?” Utau asked, her eyes narrowed. 

When she spotted all of them in the lobby, Sumire looked horrified. “No way,” she said quietly. Blinking rapidly, she pulled out her phone and started tapping away furiously. “There’s no way I fucked up the schedule.” 

Raiden felt a twinge of sympathy for her. “You didn’t mess anything up. We were being spontaneous.” 

She tilted her head to the side, and Raiden felt judged to his core for not planning all excursions a month ahead of time. “Spontaneous. Great.”

“Sumire-san,” Saito Kaito called as he stepped in, shaking a considerable amount of snow off his black coat. “We should probably push lunch back since a snowball war just broke out there—” he stopped speaking abruptly once he noticed the Polar Stars. “Oh, shit. It was gonna be such a good weekend, too.” 

Saito and Sumire exchanged a look then. 

“So I take it that Erik brought you up here,” Raiden said to them. “Just you two and Akane?” 

Sumire sighed. “And Bella, and—”

“I think it’s time for the hot tub,” a familiar voice said from just outside the lobby.

“Benedict Ibusaki, of course,” Maria said, shaking her head as Sosuke and Isabella stumbled into the lodge, laughing. “Thought you were going home for the weekend,” she said. 

Sosuke briefly locked eyes with Raiden and then with Yuna, and swore under his breath. “Sorry, guys. I thought it would be less awkward this way.”

“Well, it isn’t,” Mari pointed out. 

“Fuck off, Maria,” Bella warned. “We came up here to have a good time.”

“So did we,” Maria retorted, her shoulders squaring, and Raiden could just sense an Aldini v. Aldini bout coming on. 

“So then why are you all standing here like you’re waiting to start some shit?” Her fiery gaze fell upon the lot of them. “This place has fifteen rooms; we don’t even have to see each other.”

“I can arrange that logistically,” Sumire piped up, and then started tapping away on her phone again.  

“See?” Bella said, resting her hands on her hips. “Just unpack and be normal.”

Aoki Ichiro raised a sheepish hand then. “I agree with Mito-san.”

“As do I!” Utau interjected. “Let’s go de-stress in the sauna.” 

“You’re right,” Raiden told Bella, taking hold of Maria’s hand. “The staff probably already put all your stuff up on the top floor—”

“Actually, Yukihira-kun, we’re on the top floor,” Sumire said. “I believe your things would be on the third floor.” 

Of course they would be. 

“The third floor, then,”  Raiden said through gritted teeth. “Alright. Let’s head up.” 

He had just finished shepherding his friends up the grand stairwell when he heard a high-pitched screech taper off into uninhibited laughter that was unmistakably Akane’s. Against his better judgment, Raiden descended the stairs again and took a covert look out back. 

Akane and Erik were just outside the back door, half-wrestling each other with fists full of powdery snow. 

Erik got Akane pinned on her back and held a snowball in his right hand. “I’m gonna enjoy this, princess.” 

“Wait, I give up!” she said, and Raiden knew from intonation alone that she didn’t mean it. Erik would still fall for it, though; he was always soft for her. 

And the minute he let her up, she smacked him in the face with a formidable clump of snow. Using his size against him, Akane knocked Erik back and then sat on his chest with her knees on either side of him. “Why do you always fall for that?”

“You’re just a good liar.” 

“No,” Akane said, leaning down close to him. “But you’re a bad one.”

Raiden did not stay long enough to see if they started kissing or not, but knew it would haunt him for the rest of the trip nonetheless. 

So much for being spontaneous.

And 1, 2, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19 For Yuna please!

1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

The first thing I considered was the relationship between Yuna and Sosuke and how Totsuki would change things between them. I figured that Marui and Yuki would stay close to Shun and Ryoko over the years and their kids would grow up together. 

2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

I did design Yuna with some of the other characters in mind. I liked the idea of her being a dramatic foil to Isabella and playing with how they’re both important to certain characters (Maria, Sosuke, etc.) in similar ways. Yuna is also really important to Maria’s character arc because without her influence, Mari probably would have stayed in the Hayama Faction. 

12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? 

Writing Yuna can sometimes be challenging because she views herself as having very little power over her circumstances. People who don’t see their own agency tend not to make moves, so it’s been tough moving her character arc forward. 

13. How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all? 

I have Yuna’s future planned up until about 30 years post-canon. A few years after graduating from Totsuki, I can see Yuna as a university student studying literature. She’d be torn between the ideas of returning to the culinary world and taking her life in a different direction.

15. What is something about your OC can make you laugh? 

Enomoto Kairi legitimately describes her like a Disney princess.

16. What is something about your OC can make you cry? 

She isn’t really close to her mom or sister (who both love her and want her to be great). 

19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?

If cooking practicum courses weren’t factored into GPAs, Yuna would be the valedictorian of the 119th generation.

The Queen’s Justice (Portraits of 119)

Summary: Raiden sees Akane in a shokugeki for the first time, and his mind is essentially blown (Note: The title comes from a Game of Thrones score that I’ve always associated with Akane)

Yukihira Raiden had spent his entire life hearing legends about the people he loved. His grandfather had been Asura, a vengeful god of a chef who littered shokugeki stadiums with the pride of scores of fallen foes. And as a girl of six, his mother had chastised internationally renowned chefs until they wept. 

As he weighed the stories against the kindness he knew them for, Raiden wondered how time had refracted to tint their actions with cruelty. And when he heard the tales his new friends spun about Akane—about the genius who was sublime and tyrannical in equal parts—he wondered if social distance had the same effect. 

“So what is this about?” he asked as he and his friends from the dorm filled in a row at the shokugeki stadium. 

Kairi adjusted his glasses. “Well, to my current understanding—”

“Kairi, shut up. You don’t follow gossip,” Utau said, leaning over both him and Maria to chat to Raiden. “So, I assume you know who Kuga Terunori is.”

Raiden nodded, thinking offhand that her elbow was probably digging into Enomoto-kun’s thigh. “He’s friends with my dad, I think.” 

“Nice. So his son,  Tatsuya, is in the year ahead of us. He’s president of the Chinese RS, and he made it to the quarterfinals of last year’s Autumn Elections. A lot of people assumed he would get a place on the Elite Ten council this year along with Isshiki-senpai and the others, but administration passed him over for the tenth seat and gave it to Hayama-san,” she explained. 

Raiden shrugged. “Well, if she’s a better chef than him—”

“Hold on, it gets more complicated. Kuga-senpai was so insulted that he actually went on record with the campus newspaper and said that Hayama-san only got her position because of nepotism, and well, you grew up with her, so I’m sure you know how well that went over.” 

Actually, Raiden didn’t know. The Akane he knew had never been quick to anger—well, except where Erik was concerned. “So who exactly are you guys rooting for?”

Utau shrugged. “I’m impartial, to be honest. Kuga-senpai is both rich and beautiful, which is ideal in my book, but he really did screw himself over with this one. I doubt he can pull it off.” 

“He better pull it of or I’ll kill him,” Mizuki said from halfway down the row. “If she beats him, we lose the RS.” She shook her head. “He’s so fucking selfish.”

“Come on, Mizuki-chan,” Yuna chimed in. “Kuga-senpai can still win this. Right, Maria?”

It was only present for a split second, but Raiden saw her eyebrows raise fractionally before she plastered on a reassuring smile. “Well, no one can really know,” she said. “Anyway, look, the match is starting.” 

Kuga Tatsuya entered first, looking reasonably formidable, and cheered on by a throng of RS members and female admirers. But Raiden knew that he had lost from the moment Akane walked in. 

It was strange to see her so serious, dressed in dark chef’s garb and wearing a regal, impassive expression. He could seldom remember a time in their past when she hadn’t been either grinning and giggling or flushed and flustered. He could hardly reconcile his childhood friend with this person whose mere presence sent an aristocratic chill throughout the room.

It was a duck battle, a neutral ingredient selected for its prevalence in both French and Chinese cuisine. 

The shokugeki seemed a duel between night and day, with Kuga’s broad, extravagant cooking style contrasting Akane’s calm grace. 

She didn’t waste a moment in her preparations, breaking down the whole duck with quiet strength and immense precision. For a moment it looked as if her eyes were closed in contemplation. 

But once the aroma of her canard a l’orange started wafting up from her cooking station, the stadium was hers. The crowd was swooning, and even the professional judges leaned forward in anticipation. 

His great-grandfather had often said that tasting the most elect cooking could make one have strange visions. But Raiden didn’t have to taste his friend’s dish to see that she had made it with the intention of making her opponent kneel before her throne. 

And after the five judges cast their unanimous ruling, and Akane fed Kuga Tatsuya a portion of her dish, he did kneel. Literally. 

Raiden stared at the scene, unblinking, while she let her hair loose and twirled the keys to the Chinese RS between her fingers. He had always known, at a rational level, how pretty she was, but it had never felt so immediate to him. 

He scarcely had time to process this thought and its possible implications before she started walking up the stairs of the stadium, right towards their row, flanked on either side by the overprotective girls who served as her right and left hands. 

Akane acknowledged his presence with a ghost of a smile before turning her attention to Hojo Mizuki. 

“The RS is yours if you want it,” she said, holding the keys out to her. 

Mizuki rolled her eyes, feigning annoyance, but it was clear to all that the club was everything to her. “And what will you make me do for it, sign the book of the beast?” she asked with a sardonic lilt. 

“If you’re into that sort of thing,” Akane retorted with a smirk, even as Mimasaka Sumire brought out an actual contract. 

What the fuck had she been up to since he left Japan? 

“The hell is this?” Mizuki asked, glancing it over as Yuna tried to speed read over her shoulder.

“There are only two conditions, really,” Akane said. “The first, you don’t give the presidency back to Kuga-senpai. He’s a fool.”

“Done,” Mizuki replied. “And the second?”

“You do me one favor one day, no questions asked.”

Mizuki’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. “What kind of favor?”

Akane shrugged. “I’ll tell you when something comes up.” 

“Nothing illegal, though,” Sumire assured with a small smile. 

There were a few more minutes of banter then, but Mizuki ultimately signed the contract, as they all knew she would.

And when the Polar Stars started back to the dorm, Raiden lingered at the stadium, waiting outside of Akane’s prep room. 

“I had a feeling you’d be here,” she said once she emerged, dressed in her Totsuki uniform again. Her hair was slightly mussed after changing, and Raiden fought the urge to smooth it down. 

“That was incredible just now,” he said. “I mean, you’ve been a great cook all your life—”

“That’s a lie,” she said, blushing and giggly again. 

“It’s not,” he told her, taking her spice and knife cases as they left the building. “But when—” He faltered, not quite knowing how to put it into words. When had she become the stuff of legends?

She shrugged, understanding him without trying, the way she always did. “Is it really that strange?” she asked, tilting her head to one side. “I mean, I had to become strong without you here to fight my battles for me.” 

The comment stopped him in his tracks for a moment, but she kept walking until he had to jog a little to be in step with her again. 

“I do wonder, though,” she said, once they reached her black town car. 

“What?” 

“If I can beat you now,” she mused. 

“Shokugeki?” he asked her. 

She considered it for a moment, then sighed. “I have rules. You have to make it onto the Elite Ten first,” she said. 

“Is that right?”

She nodded once, and then he reached over and smoothed her hair, even though he had decided not to. Her eyes drew closed for a moment. 

“I better start preparing, then.”

When he got back to the dorm, he cooked until dawn with a fevered passion he hadn’t felt since they were children—back when he’d exhausted himself concocting curries, biryanis, and hot pots to make her smile. 

And when Maria came downstairs at 3 am to ask what in the world he was doing, he truly came to see how precarious his situation was.

How was the position of groups A and B in the preliminary election of Gen 119

Thanks for the ask! I envision the results of the preliminaries looking something like this.
