Nightmare Catcher = Requested

[Alastor | Vox | Lucifer x Nightmare!Reader] - separate

The Request

Alastor, The Radio Demon

Alastor’s a light sleeper or he doesn’t sleep. You do and he doesn’t find fault in that. He’d sit on his side of the bed with a book in hand or some times he’ll be writing in a notebook gifted by you for some broadcasting ideas, all while the his bedstand’s lamp is on at the lowest possible lighting

He’s notice you groaning and shifting in your sleep. The shifting was normal, but not the groaning and the way your face crunched up in distress. His eyes turn to you and observes for a while before muttering soft, “Dear? My darling?”

You don’t reply but the groaning and shifting continues

Now that he’s positive you’re having a nightmare, he’ll try to wake you up as gently as possible to not freak you out too much. Probably nudging you or shaking you awake

If you wake up, like snap awake, he’ll apologize for waking you and explain you were groaning and shifting more than usual. He doesn’t ask if you have a nightmare, he’ll let you say it to him. Either way, he’ll reassure you the same. Whatever you dreamed wouldn’t happen to you. Whoever was trying to cause you harm wouldn’t be able to come near you. 

He’ll be there to protect you 

If you don’t wake up, he’ll put away his stuff and lay down next to you, turning off the lights. As gently and smoothly as he could, he’ll wrap his arms around your waist and hold you close to him. Adjusting you so you’d be listening to his heartbeat while his hand patted the back of your head

His humming calms you down and you unconsciously latch onto him too

When you wake up the next day, neither of you will talk about it unless you bring it up. Otherwise, Alastor will comment how he had another lovely night with you and the two of you would make breakfast together

Vox, The TV Demon

Here’s a question. How do you sleep with a demon with a TV for a head?

Funny thing. Vox doesn’t sleep on a bed, he sits in a very very comfortable giant chair without any hard surfaces and sleeps like that

Now you don’t do that. Nope. You sleep on the bed

So when you have a nightmare? You wake up in a cold sweat and looked around. You got your barings hugging a pillow and wrapped your blanket around you for comfort. You mutter Vox’s name, hoping he hears you somewhere since you didn’t know if he was awake or asleep

If he was awake, he’d catch your name calling and zap through the technology to your room. “What’s wrong? There an intruder?”

You hug onto him, still wrapped up but your pillow was discarded. While he hates dealing with childish acts (Valentino), you were an exception

He brings you back to the bed and has you comfortable before asking what’s wrong. Whether you tell him or not, he plays you funny videos on his TV screen to lighten you up or music to calm you down until your eyes get droopy and you yawn. He stays by your side until you sleep, he silently works beside you though

If he was asleep. Haha. Good luck. Oh, not you, it’s Vox. If it’s one thing he doesn’t like people seeing it was his sleeping form. Because he shuts down, with a black screen and all that. He has like a fixed schedule set to wake up after shutting down

Still, he gave you a special code to his quarters when you need to come. You wrapped up in your blanket and hugging your pillow tip-toed to Vox’s room. On the way, you’d be debate whether to go or not. You went

You poked his screen first, he doesn’t wake up. His chair was big and comfty, matching that of a bed’s. So you got comfortable on Vox’s lap, leaning on his chest with your ears on top of where his heart would be, your pillow on the armrest to cushion your back then you covered the both of you in the giant blanket

You kissed the side of his face (screen) and said night. Slowly falling asleep

Next day, Vox thought Valentino or Velvette played a prank on him. Imagine his surprise to find you on his lap peacefully asleep. He checked last night’s CCTV to make sure you weren’t in danger, just a nightmare, he bets

But he delays his schedules and shows just to enjoy you on his lap

(a full day of work was gone and Vox got a vacation from taking care of Valentino)

Lucifer, The King of Hell

I swear he’s the one with nightmares- But this time it was you with the nightmares

He immediately stirs when you shift too much, even getting warmer to the point that he felt like he was hugging a heater. He wake up and notice immediately you’re having a nightmare

He copies what you do for him. Wake you up gently and holds your cheeks so you’d be focusing on him. “Look at me, My Apple. You’re safe with me.”

He leads you to do a breathing exercise with him, when you were done and more calm, his forehead connects with yours. He asks if you want to talk about, since he felt better when you listened to him, he offers the same to you

You nodded

Lucifer immediately starts snapping his fingers, conjuring so much familiar objects and items. They were all your favourites. From comfort items, entertainment, food and even drinks. He spared no expenses for you

His goofy attitude lightened you up and you almost forget about the nightmare. Still though, you tell him

Midway, he summons his wings and wrap you around with them, a comforting reminder that he was there with you. You comb your hands through his wings, even leaning against them with a comforted sigh

Lucifer laid you back down, this time with his wings as the blanket and his chest as the pillow. He sings softly to lull you to sleep, humming after you were sleeping until he was positive you were dead asleep, then he’ll sleep

Next morning? He surprises you with a day at his Lu Lu Land. He’s such a goof ball you can’t resist him

Note: Ha! There! How you like this? Next try on Vox actually. Surprised I got more to write for him than I imagine. I thought he'd have the least content

Horropedia // Dating Headcanons

Note// First Reverse: 1999 writing. A bit suggestive in some parts. This is my version of Horropedia, so if you don’t like it,,,, you might as well have to write your own because this is meant for my self-indulgence;; sowwy <//3

// preferably female s/o- gender neutral is also okay since I didn’t exactly mention a specific gender :)

As a strange autistic guy, I just imagine him to be the type of guy who probably have indirectly confessed to you earlier before you can even realize that months after- like you're just laid down on an armchair and you suddenly connected lines on the previous lines you once heard him before-

"Ah, hey! I've been waiting all my life to meet someone like you, so I had to come and say hello."

...he literally just say a simple remark with that smile as he gifted you a spirit catcher pistol- and then left....

Sometimes, you might not understand him. But you eventually asked him out on a date (in a normal way for once-).

"Oh? A date? Great! Let's go get coffee together. " :))

Little do you know, he also plans to have a ghost hunting date after that---

___

Kissing scenes in horror films? Horropedia at first felt a bit skeptical about them, finding that unnecessary... Until he got a crush on you, and then FELL for you - That's when he lowkey wondered in his autism brain... how would a kiss with you feels like?

Oh gosh, so many possibilities;;;

Horropedia would slowly realize the fact that he would unconsciously check his mouth breathing and fix his hair a bit whenever he spots you entering the room. "Who knows when that kiss scene happened cough cough -"/hj

There was a time Horropedia sneakily slipped during those ironically cute kissing scenes in a horror movie.. You may think you would just slip away from the unknown opportunity he would be searching for - But no, you wouldn't even get the peace to resume watching or have time to recover from a jumpscare that happened few minutes ago when there is this silly dork softly nibbling and smooching on your face and neck like that;;;

aaaand now you're making out with him in the middle of the movie ..

It seems there are now more reasons for him to ask you to stay over. ;)

He wants to impress you so bad ever since the moment he heard about you - You just happened to be... ordinary? But at the same time, refreshing... someone who easily connects with almost anyone.

Darn, I think you’re made for him. ☺️ (lol)

At first, he wanted to be the Mr. Mysterious and only introduced himself to you as "Horropedia. "... At some certain point after, he would  bashfully let you call him "Joshua." Just don't get too cocky...-/ih

If you're just as comfortable with dark humor and other kinds of morbid stuff, there is this small scenario where you and Horropedia would roleplay a bit as to help him make up stories involving these morbid antagonists and anti-heroes...- He would be kinda a bit down bad if you say Wednesday Adams stuff technically./hj

He is not sure If he has the right to die or laugh when he gets called "Joshy"... it's cringe, but he finds your silly demeanor very cute and funny.

You happen to be a big listener when it comes to horror movies, horror stories, and horror video games- whatever horropedia rambles at you at 3 am. as if it is a nearly daily basis/ih

He loves sharing hobbies with you, even cherishing the moments when you get to do whatever activities with him that are close to his interests and what he's passionate about...

You can already tell he's not interested in anything else other than that sense of thrill he has for phenomenon or violent drama... but he'll try his best to be flexible when it comes to giving you quality time... Like crafting, cooking, maybe painting?

You might know what he will create in his own hands...- ghost cupcakes, a sculpture of Friday the 13th's killer, Michael Myers mask---

Jumpscares are out of date for him, of course, but then... he still watches those classical horror movies once in a while since they're pretty much fundamental to the art of fear.

Ironically... He does like surprise back touches! Well... As long as it doesn't have to imply his poor posture, back hugs are good to go.

He finds it pleasant to have you sit next to him or on his lap as he plays those Indie horror games(?), "mmmm... Dark deception? World of Horror? Resident Evil? The Last of Us? What about Outlast? What do you think, Babe? :))"

FNAF would be obviously a breeze for him... Bro, imagine him going crazy about fnaf lore, hahahha-

DDLC gave him mixed feelings. He is half glad his baby is not that mad crazy because of that/ih

LITTLE NIGHRMARESSSS- Man, imagine him having these silly moments with how he just concerningly reacts so happily at a kid eating a gnome who just offered a sausage oh gosh-

Watching horror movies with him would be like watching a live commentary channel as you feel a slim hand rubbing your waist throughout the movie.

You might have mixed reactions alongside him when accidentally encountering sex scenes on horror movies...- things might get awkward but he would make sure to close your eyes if you don't like to see that kind of stuff- intercourse is not the option,,,, mass arson it is/ih

I can only imagine Horropedia calling you either your name, Babe, Baby, or  Boo (NOT PUN INTENDED I SWEAR FJNFNF;;) Is usually your name being called normally. Unless he is so so happy,,, or is because he just did something you probably not going to like~ 😇✨️

“Is your name Boo? Because you’re making me scream in delight.” ♥️

Oh boy-

[skysquid22]

well of course have to ask for mine….

Rise up Mine heads

First Impression: I've shared this here before, but I have an exact time and date for it. My first impression was "woah cool dragon" and "this guy is giving me a lot of Patrick Bateman vibes".

Impression Now: Not as Bateman as everyone jokes! Mine is such an interesting cookie. Even when not at his extreme, his rationale, justification, and overall thinking process are just so damn interesting to pick at. Deeply, he is someone that wants to be loved, but is more afraid of people betraying him than he is of being vulnerable.

Favorite Moment: Oh, so many to pick from lol. I have too many favorite moments on equal playing field so I'll pick a sleeper hit for many. In the vacation RGGO story, when Kanda asks him to go pick up women and the music cuts out, looks like a sad worried dog, and asks, "Me?" it's so funny. Never underestimate his ability to be funny.

Idea For A Story: Would like to write a whump-centered fic around Mine getting shot and Daigo patching him up. Would be a thing where Mine is with them in the fishing village type of beat, so they have to go to a vet to get help.

Unpopular Opinion: this is going to get rocks thrown at me but my headcanons for characters' sexuality change depending on what caters best to the story and my default is usually making Mine bisexual with an ace leaning.

Favorite Relationship: Minedai....... <3. Daigo just has such an interesting and undeniable effect on Mine that it completely changed the course of his life. His only true friend and the only man he's ever loved. Even if you're not paying attention to Daigo's feelings, Mine's feelings for Daigo are a perfect moment of insight into his character. You can see his desperation plainly. Fascinating.

Favorite Headcanon: Hmm... I don't have a favorite, just a lot I enjoy. So here is one. Daigo once won him a black Oinklet from a ufo catcher and gave it to him as a gift. It's the first gift a friend had ever given him so he cherishes that Oinklet with his fucking life. Plushie in the bed type of deal. Ohhhh Oinklet we're really in it now...

Road to 4☆TOWN

part 41 | part 42 | part 43

Robaire stared at the ring in awe. “Wow…” he looked back at Jesse. “I didn’t think he liked you that much.”

“Neither did I!” Jesse responded. “Ever since Selina got pregnant again, he’s just been wanting to kill me.” Jesse took the ring back from Robaire. “But apparently he thinks I’m son-in-law material.”

“Well aren’t you?” Robaire raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been taking care of his daughter and grandchildren for years and you’re practically the definition of a family man.”

“I know, I know.” Jesse sighed and leaned back. “For so long now, I’ve wanted nothing but to finally call her my wife. But the label…they’d never let us do it for real.” He groaned and buried his head in his hands. “Ughhh, I don’t know what to do.”

Robaire stared at his friend quietly for a moment. “You said in the group chat that you know how you’re gonna do it right?”

“Yeah, I’ve been planning it for ages.” Jesse picked his head up. “But we still—“

“Look, it doesn’t matter if you can or can’t get married right now. What matters is you love her and you know one day you’ll be married for real.” Robaire reminded him. “So why not just go for it?”

Jesse blinked in confusion. “Go for…what?”

“Propose.” Robaire shrugged. “It’ll show her you’re committed, it’ll be a nice surprise for her, and you’ll get her dad off your back. It’s a triple win situation.”

Jesse thought about what Robaire said, and he couldn’t find a single flaw with the plan. “Yeah, you’re right.” Jesse smiled. “Thanks, man. It’s so good to have you back.”

Robaire smiled back. “It’s good to be back.”

———

“Hey, babe.” Jesse said as he left the bedroom. “What’re you doing up so early?”

Selina laughed. “Sleeping with a soccer ball as a stomach isn’t very comfortable. Especially when the little goalie inside keeps using my bladder as a pillow.” She rolled her eyes. “I just gave up on sleeping at some point.”

Jesse stared at her for a moment. “Well…we’re both here now, so I might as well give you the thing.”

“Thing?” Selina looked at him in confusion. “What thing?”

“Oh, I got you a little something. Just cuz.” Jesse shrugged as he handed her what appeared to be a copy of her favorite book.

“Awwww, The Catcher in the Rye.” Selina smiled brightly. “I haven’t seen this book since I accidentally left my copy in the library at school and they thought it was theirs.” She paused. “That was a rough English final…”

“I think it’s funny how that incident went hand-in-hand with my stupid pick-up line.” Jesse chuckled. “I’m still so lucky you thought it was cute.”

“Yeah well, everything you do is cute.” Selina cupped his cheek. “Like leaving your old library card in here to bookmark a p—…” Her eyes got wide when she opened the “book” and discovered it was a box. “Jesse…what’s this?”

“So I know we said we can’t actually get married until 4☆TOWN disbands, but…I know if things were a little different, we wouldn’t be waiting.” Jesse said quietly. “I mean, I’ve been planning this since the first time I heard your adorable laugh. I was supposed to take you to that playground from our prom night, but obviously we can’t leave Marcel so…” he took a deep breath. “Selina, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me. And you’ve given me the greatest gifts I could ever receive.”

“I gave you one.” Selina stopped him. “The other one is still a work in progress.”

“Yeah, but neither of them would be possible without you.” Jesse put a hand on her belly. “And don’t make a joke about how it’s technically still possible without you because the only reason any of this makes sense is because it’s you and me.”

Selina giggled. “You know me so well. You practically read my mind.”

“And what a beautiful mind it is.” Jesse stared at her with hearts in his eyes. “I love literally everything about you. I love the way your eyes light up when you hear the word ice cream and how hard you’re trying to like spinach so Marcel has a good example. I love how your voice cracks when you’re singing him a lullaby, and how sometimes you laugh a little too hard so milk comes out of your nose.”

“Oh my god, stop bringing that up.” Selina blushed. “It’s super embarrassing every time it happens.”

“Well, I happen to think it’s adorable.” Jesse assured her. “I love the way you know you could take on the world as long as there are no bugs in your way.” They both laughed. “And I love those stretch marks on your body. It drives me crazy that you hate them because to me they’re the sexiest, most beautiful marks in the world. They remind me of what you gave for our son.”

Selina was quiet for a moment. “I need you to stop.” She sniffled. “It’s too early in the morning to be crying like this.”

“Oh yeah sure.” Jesse shrugged. “We’ll just pick this up later. I’ll just take this back then—”

Selina chuckled and smacked his hand away. “Don’t even.” She held the box so he couldn’t take it. “If you’re gonna make me laugh-cry before 8AM, you’re gonna finish your damn speech.”

“Okay, okay, fine.” Jesse said with a stupid grin. “I can’t tell you exactly when this stage of our relationship will end, but I promise it’s gonna be over at some point because I love you and I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with you no matter what.” He took the ring box out of the fake box and got on one knee in front of her. “Will you, Selina Cruz, wear this ring and get your dad to leave me the hell alone?”

Selina burst out laughing. “How is it that you never fail to make me laugh like this?”

“Because it’s always worth it to see your smile.” Jesse said sweetly. “But can you please answer me? This carpet is kinda uncomfortable.”

“Oh right.” Selina shook her head. “Yes, I’d love to shut my dad up if it means I’ll get to marry you one day.”

“Perfect. Just what I wanna hear.” Jesse said as he put the ring on her finger. He leaned in and kissed her deeply.

“I know we can’t actually get married yet, but this just makes it feel more real.” Selina couldn’t contain her excitement. “And is this my grandmother’s ring? How’d you even get this from my dad? He treasures it.”

“Carmelo brought it over the other day as a sign of approval.” Jesse took her hand. “This is actually what he was pestering me about when we were over there. I figured he wasn’t gonna stop until I gave it to you, and honestly I feel a lot better now that I have.” He wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her closer. “As if having two kids wasn’t enough for us to start our future, now I have a f-fiancé. Oh my god…” He realized what he just said.

“Oh…you’re not my boyfriend anymore, are you?” Selina blushed. “We’re like…engaged to be married. Like for real for real.”

They stared at each other awkwardly.

“I-I’m gonna check on Marcel.” Selina got up. “You know how nervous he gets when he wakes up alone.”

“Yeah, yeah. That’s cool.” Jesse refused to look at her. “I’ll, uh…I’ll get started on some tea.”

“Good.” Selina nodded. “Great.”

“Yup.”

There was a moment of awkward, yet sentimental silence.

“Jesse?” Selina smiled at him.

He finally looked at her. “Hmmm?”

“I love you.”

Jesse chuckled at how cute his fiancé is. “Yeah. I love you, too.”

Sorry for the long wait y’all, I’ve been super busy but updates should go back to normal now!

[the-togepi-man]

Just wanna tell you how relatable the concept of being so full of emotion others don’t understand it is. I think a lot of people raised male have this issue because emotional expression “isn’t masculine” and that’s why no men are raised to process or understand their emotions. I know the battle of people not understanding it well and I’m glad you’re at least neutral to it because at the end of the day I think it’s a gift to feel your emotions deeply, even if they’re overwhelming sometimes.

I really appreciate this, thank you. I have gotten a few other posts like this so I'll choose here to comment. I think there is a lot of raising that goes in to "feeling emotions" vs "bottling them up" and it certainly is way worse with men. But I also think a lot of people use it as a way to make sure they are safe and they are feeling ok. Which I totally understand somewhat. Which makes it all the more frustrating that I am on the exact opposite end of the spectrum here. It's funny- before I even came out people, some friends included (and thats ok we didnt know better)- would call me a bottom because I was emotional. They always said I would be the "catcher." So when it came to sex I went the other way. Then I got joked about being a Timid Top because I told people I would "ask if the bottom was ok" before "going wild." and again- all good jokes- but at the same time it feels like my personality pigeon-holed me in to being "one thing." and I am STILL unpacking how I feel about sex and being verse. I feel like I like so many things but people don't take me seriously because I wear my feelings on my sleeve. I dunno- i think it's just hard to know who I am and what I do and what I want when it feels like all my feelings are too much. I know the people that love me love the parts of me that feel, but I also KNOW that I also pressure people by how big my heart is. Almost like I emit some oppressive aura that makes people feel weird when I have feelings. Like I do, I do have big feelings, but I am also alive and can survive. And Also I want you to have some good big feelings with me. I dunno, im in therapy now so I cant wait to talk more to him about it

// Ehhhh dumping some silly Horrocalist HCs made out of self-indulgence <333 {+ silly doodles}

Like what I said before, they’re both autists (probably even different types of autists individually/ih) it’s sometimes funny to imagine autists interact sometimes. It can be either wholesome or a secret recipe to disaster./lh

Even if Horropedia categorizes Philocalist as the sweet empathetic Asian girl, he also wonder if her Hispanic side of her roots might say otherwise or just a different kind of charm. In reality, Philocalist is just a sweetheart who for some reasons thinks romance and horror can go hand in hand as her favorites. No matter how cheesy romance is, and no matter how disturbing and spine chilling the thrills of horror can be;;;

Philocalist is a good girl!!! She loves kids, and finds beauty in many things. Just like what her alias means. Sometimes, Horropedia kinda is a bad influence to her like encouraging her to go all nighters watching horror movies or play horror games with him/ih. Ofc, the gal doesn’t let it slide at times. Even if she doesn’t even sleep.

Joshua would tease her when he finds out Philocalist’s drew him a couple of times before- When she quietly explains that she tends to draw whatever she cherishes on her drawing pad, that’s when brunette felt some butterflies on his stomach/ih

“Wait a minute, who’s this man?” *points at a blonde guy with glasses, Journo(my nonfandom OC)

“He’s my friend, Journo.”

“…”

“Horropedia…?”

*scrolls the drawing away before taking out his journal entry with an empty page shown* “Draw something here instead-“/ih/j

Horropedia wouldn’t be the jealous type, I’m sure he’s quite observant and tries to analyze things before assuming. But of course, it sometimes wouldn’t stop making him feel this small bitter feeling on his chest;;; (why his babe has so many male and female friendssss??? <//3/ih/pos)

I can imagine Horropedia being a strange but sweet boyfriend… he gifts Philocalist dream catcher earrings, a ghost hunting pistol, and even a crucifix and talismans for some reasons.

“Is to keep you safe, Boo.” He would always answer to Philocalist’s light skepticism with those single words.

I’m going silly and having Horropedia calling Philocalist her name in general is just good enough. And when he’s so happy and just has this emotional moment, he would call her “Boo” or even “Babe”…-

Even before they established their relationship, he still calls her “Wife” as a joke. Since Philocalist kinda first resembles him as a cute 90s anime girl/waifu by the moment he first heard her speak Japanese- finds it quite fascinating that she’s programmed to learn multiple languages.

Horropedia still tends to sound pretty strange and insensitive with his humor. Philocalist sometimes can’t take his words lightly. But tolerates a decent amount because she can tell that half of the things he say may be just for funny shows/ih

If Horropedia calls her baby girl, what if Philocalist calls him babyboy (cues Horropedia spilling his coffee HAHA-)

He’s quite happy the fact that Philocalist doesn’t get easily scared with horror stories, as she’s more fascinated than disturbed,..-

Joshua first wondered what’s behind Philocalist’s mask. But it turns out there is no secret behind it, she just happens to have this pandemic experience crisis from the 2020’s that she tries to prevent herself from getting contact to smelly, stinky, and yucky germs and it kinda benefits her that it keeps her face warm at cold maps. Horropedia, on the other hand, probably would find it interesting that Philocalist has a special case when it comes to belonging in a specific timeline.. when she doesn’t even belong to anywhere. She’s out of this world!

Horropedia often gives Philocalist forehead kisses, and even cheeks. Sometimes on the lips indirectly or directly either because he may be in a hurry that Philocalist can’t remove her masks quickly or when he really wants to feel her lips/ih/gets bonked.

I will write soon about how they both have first met in my writing blog! It’s still in progress atm.

Mawan(Klai’s oc) is like a father-figure to Philocalist. According to Klai, Mawan would be calm about the pair’s bond (but also would lightly threaten Horropedia to not break her heart is funny djjddjjd-) Meanwhile Philocalist is just standing there not certain about what’s going on in front of her.

I love Akane. She's one of my favorite characters in DR2. She's funny, awesome, and full of personality. I need to make that clear because I am about to complain about this character at length.

Akane is a prime example of the "Character who is fantastic whenever saying and doing things onscreen but really deserved better writing around them than what they got" phenomenon.

Let's start with her fucking Talent. The Ultimate Gymnast.

Akane's Talent is the most arbitrary in the entire franchise. It never comes up. It never influences the course of the story. In fact, it has no influence on her personality or skillset either. It's literally just there.

Akane's skillset is general all-around athleticism. She has the natural physique and huge appetite of a shonen protagonist. These are explained by her growing up in extreme poverty and scrounging for food for her and her siblings, and by her constantly having to run away from people.

A generous interpretation of that is that she was a food thief. But given that every anecdote about her past is sexualized in some way, I have concerns about what she was running away from. Akane comes from a lot of abuse.

In any case, she did a lot of parkour growing up and then one day, one of her abusers was like, "You should do gymnastics." So she did, and her naturally powerful physique allowed her to excel. She doesn't actually care about gymnastics but it pays the bills. It's just an activity she was able to drop into with her physique for easy money.

Like. Okay. Gymnastics? That's not an activity you can just drop into and then coast on pure physical acumen.

Like. Sure. I could buy Leon being naturally gifted without trying because he's a pitcher. His job is goal-oriented. All he has to do is get the ball over the plate. There's a lot of technique that goes into that but if he's got the skill to do it, then he's got the skill. He's not being judged on the precise placement of his fingers on the ball's stitching. If he can get it in the catcher's glove, he wins. Regardless of how he makes that happen.

Gymnastics is a cutthroat industry that's more artistry than objective. It's judged on technique by extremely unpleasable dicks who will throw a fit if they see so much as a bra strap sticking out of a leotard. You can't just drop in and go on pure physical strength alone. That's like saying, "I'm naturally graceful so I just started doing spur-of-the-moment ballet performances." That's. Not. How. That works.

There are plenty of athletic activities you could have given your Girl Goku character. Ultimate Distance Runner. Ultimate Weight Lifter. Ultimate Street Brawler. Things where a character being naturally strong but having no patience for training or routine would make sense. Hell, you name-drop parkour in her backstory; why not make her Ultimate Parkour?

Instead, you chose gymnastics. A field where physical ability only matters insomuch as it helps you carry out your well-rehearsed and thoroughly practiced routine, which is judged primarily on technique and not on how high you can jump.

And then you gave her gigantic tits that are constantly falling out of her shirt because she doesn't wear any kind of support whatsoever, and barely even buttons up her top. As a character design choice for the master of a field where having large, unrestrained breasts inhibit the ability for athletes to progress beyond a certain point.

The fact that Akane doesn't give a shit and just lets her ladies fly fits well with the idea they seem to be going with here: A female shonen bro who's socially uninhibited and coasting on naturally gifted physical superiority. Girl Goku barely even notices that her tits are out. It fits the personality archetype.

But it's a bizarre character choice for a gymnast. And it's made weirder by how much of her backstory is about being sexually harassed and assaulted. She tells an anecdote about this time her weirdo stepdad wanted her to serve food without panties and how she refused to do it. But she also doesn't care if her tits fall out of her barely-closed top whenever she gets excited.

If you want her to be the fanservice lady, sure. I'm just saying it's weird that the fanservice lady's backstory is about how much it sucks to be groped and harassed all the time. And that her well-endowed chest clashes with her Talent background which in turn clashes with the rest of her backstory and personality.

It's also weird that she doesn't have an ounce of muscle tone on her body. She's as skinny as any of the other girls. In stark contrast to Sakura Ogami's ripped physique, Akane is built like Junko Enoshima. A skinny hourglass frame to accentuate her fanservice lady appeal. She's given some strong poses in her sprites, but her body could easily be mistaken for any of the other girls in the group.

Not being super ripped does make sense for a gymnast. But, as noted, certain other attributes of hers certainly don't. And also, she's not trying to be a gymnast. She just does that on the side. She wants to be a fighter. Sakura Ogami is what Akane actually styles herself after. So why doesn't she look like it?

And on the topic of her fighting: Okay. Like. You made this character whose defining character traits are a bottomless appetite and an equally bottomless battle-lust. And then you made her trash.

Akane's actual fighting ability seems to be summed up simply as "She tries". She makes an effort. Never gets anywhere. Never wins a fight. She just constantly loses to Nekomaru, to Monokuma, to Sakura herself in some of the bonus side content. Her career is an endless string of L's. The one time she wins a fight is against Nagito, who isn't even trying to defend himself.

She's not so much a badass fighter lady as she is enthusiastic about losing. She's written like the shonen hero's lady sidekick. And. Like. That's her whole thing.

You made a female character who is defined by her love of fighting and then immediately put her next to a male character who can effortlessly defeat her and then explain to her why she's trash at the only thing she does.

In a battle anime, this would be the setup for Akane to work hard, master her art, surpass Nekomaru, and then kick a big bad villain's teeth in. But this is not a battle anime. So getting beat up by Nekomaru and then getting beat up by Monokuma is all she gets. She just sucks at her one thing, she never gets a chance to surpass the guy who's better than her at it, and that's all she gets to be.

There was a bit of that to Sakura as well, but it was just in her backstory. It wasn't what defined her role within the plot itself. But for Akane, it's what defines her role within the plot itself. Being too weak to surpass her male counterpart at her main skill is Akane's actual plotline.

It's honestly aggravating how misused Akane is. She's a poorly conceived and poorly designed rare example of a female version for an archetype dominated by male characters, whose story is about how bad she is at measuring up to men in her field. And it's absolutely wild that we got her from the same series that just gave us Sakura last game.

I love this character.

I just wish the creators cared even a little bit about her when they were making her.

Gentle love prompts #40. Bringing them small gifts after being away

Kujo Jotaro/reader (gender neutral reader)

Jotaro is away often, traveling across the world for the Speedwagon Foundation and across the state for his doctoral degree, tracking down dangerous stand users on some days and starfish to study on others. Sometimes you tag along to the coast on his study trips, but he doesn’t let you go with him on the Foundation ones. It’s too dangerous, he says. 

You’re a stand user, but not one suited for combat situations, so you can’t defend yourself against the kind of people they send him after, and he worries too much for your safety. Not to mention you can’t leave Jolyne all alone, and you certainly can’t bring her with you. 

He’s already given the Foundation an earful about relying on him to solve all their problems just because he killed some all-powerful vampire stand user as a teenager. He’s trying to get through grad school and raise his daughter, he doesn’t have time to fly out to check on everything that goes bump in the night. To their credit, they’ve scaled back on his involvement. He’s more of a trump card now, unless there’s something that really warrants his personal attention. 

He can’t always call you when he’s away, whether it’s because he’s too afraid of drawing attention to his family at home, or because he’s camping on the beach somewhere. But you know he’s still thinking of you and Jolyne when he’s away, because he brings back little gifts for both of you. 

Jolyne’s are pretty straightforward: things that will either hold up to a little girl’s less than gentle handling or sit safely on display in her room for appreciation. Interesting toys from far away places, a sun catcher for her bedroom window, a hat for playing dress-up. And of course, candy in exotic flavors to share among the three of you. 

Your gifts are often smaller, more subtle, but no less carefully chosen. He brings you things that reminded him of you while he was away, even when that’s a shell from the beach or a pebble with an unusual color. You have quite the collection of little gifts lined up on the kitchen windowsill where you can see them every time you wash your hands or a dish at the sink there. There are larger gifts too, of course. Touristy shirts with messages like “someone I love bought me this in Denver”, a beautiful hand-woven throw blanket for your living room couch, fancy chocolate, even hobby supplies. 

As cheesy as it sounds, the best gift is always having him back, when he tells you about his trip and shows you what he’s brought for you and Jolyne. Sometimes he takes a camera with him, especially on research trips where he’s documenting starfish for his thesis, and you get to see some of what he saw (even when it’s mostly starfish). 

This time, he’s been in Japan on some combination of stand business and family matters. Jolyne’s been extra impatient waiting for him to come home this time. She’d heard about Jotaro’s newly discovered relative and been insatiably curious about her great uncle. She thinks it’s funny that a great uncle can be so young. 

The two of you get in the car to pick him up from the airport, Jolyne chattering excitedly in the backseat the whole way. It’s a long flight between Florida and Japan, not to mention whatever connection he’d had from the little town he was staying in to the international airport he flew out of. You know he’ll be tired when he arrives, but he always does his best to tough it out through Jolyne’s energy until he can get to bed and sleep off the jet lag. 

Jolyne’s made a sign with his name on it, as is tradition at this point (earlier ones had just read “Daddy”), and you’re waiting for him in the arrivals terminal near baggage claim. You keep an eye out of his suitcase on the carousel, ready to snag it for him if it reaches you before he does. 

But you don’t have to wait long. He finds you soon enough, and Jolyne runs to greet him with a hug that crushes her sign between them. He scoops her up and carries her over to join you at baggage claim. 

“Welcome home.” You say. 

“What was my great uncle like? What’d you bring me? Did you see Grandma?” Jolyne asks, and he shakes his head.

“Slow down, and I’ll tell you all about it once we’re in the car.” He sets her down on her feet. “Help me find my suitcase and we can go sooner.” 

She hurries over to the start of the carousel to watch the incoming baggage.

“She can hear about the family stuff, but the stand business will have to wait until she’s asleep.” He murmurs. 

“That bad?” You frown sympathetically.

“Serial killer.”

Jolyne comes back before you can respond to that, lugging her father’s suitcase behind her.

“I found it!” 

He checks the tag to be sure it’s his, and extends the handle to pull it along.

“Good work.”

“Can we go now?” She bounces on her toes, and he nods. 

“Let’s go. You can show me where you parked.” 

He talks about the famous great uncle Josuke on the drive home, promising Jolyne she’ll get to meet him someday. When you arrive home, she receives her gift first: a strap with Morioh’s mascot character Mori-kun on it, for her school bag. She goes to her room to put it on immediately. 

Your gift is a pair of acrylic chopsticks with Morioh landmarks running down the side of each one, and purple stripes at the tops that make an M when the pair are lined up together. And they’re dishwasher safe, according to the package. 

Jotaro talks more about some of the other people he’d met over dinner, clearly leaving out that they’re stand users in some cases: an Italian chef and restaurant owner, a famous manga artist, the bellhop at his hotel, and even some of his uncle Josuke’s friends.

Once you’ve cleaned up from dinner and put Jolyne to bed, he tells you about the more serious events, murders and explosions and missing people. It’s the things like this that make you worry when he’s away, and so grateful when he’s back safe. 

You curl up together in bed when he’s done explaining, wanting to hold him close after being apart. 

“I’m just glad you’re home.” You whisper to him in the dark. That really is the only gift you need.

Low Cost Gifts for Mom on Mothers Day

You don’t have a lot of money to spend this year for her, but you want something special for your mom. Here are some ideas that will take little or nothing to get or make.

A photo album is always nice to have around the house. So if you have many photos that have never made into an album, here is your chance to do something very special and it won’t cost but a few dollars to do.

Go to your local thrift store and look for some old binders and some nice fabric, if you don’t have any at home. Then all you need is some pages that you can put your photos on. Decorate the binder for Mother’s Day and decorate the pages with the pictures on them with captions, buttons, lace, and charms, sort of like a scrapbook. This way the picture get put into an album and you make a inexpensive Mother’s Day gift for your mom.

Here are some silly but lovable and low cost gifts for mom, that are both meant to be funny or personal or both. She would treasure them for ever.

If she is a coffee or tea drinker then a Paint Your Own Mug would an excellent choice, with a painting done in your very hand, every time she takes a drink she will remember the time and love put into this wonderful gift, she would be the envy of all her friends.

Now with this handy kit, she can be paid for being a football widow. As referee, she is in charge! Getting ignored? Yellow Card! Got his mates over again? Red Card! Each card carries a penalty for the family from simply doing the laundry to taking her on a holiday – let the punishment fit the crime….

Mom is afraid of spiders and other bugs? The Spider Catcher is an innovative new product which uses two sets bristles to gently catch the spider, carefully trapping it until you release it outside.

With a trigger at one end and the bristles at the other, there is no need for Mom to spend nights on the couch because a spider has decided to move into the bedroom!

post-Starcourt, Robin, who 100% hates hospitals and their awful sterile smells and their too-bright hallways and their tiny rooms with the flimsy green curtains and overwhelming cacophony of dings and beeps from hulking medical equipment, absolutely goes with Steve to visit Billy in the hospital. she insists, because she knows how hard it is for Steve to see Billy like that, tubes and wires snaked all over his body, bruised and scarred, so small and so weak amid the monitors and machines. she usually sits outside Billy’s room, keeps watch for the parents Steve must sneak around. sometimes Max sits with her, both of them giving Steve and Billy as much privacy as the situation allows, talking quietly, doing the stupid quizzes in the back issue magazines crowding the waiting room kiosks, swiping paper from the nurse’s station to make cootie catchers and paper airplanes. for a little while, each day, Robin gives Max a brief reprieve from the worry and the fear surrounding Billy, gives Steve the peace of mind he needs to simply be with Billy, no fear of watching for Neil because Robin has taken over that part for him.

she starts to learn things about Billy, too. starts to bring little gifts along with her. a cassette here, a book there. she helps Steve pick out corny little trinkets in the gift shop. sometimes, she sits with him when Steve needs a minute, or when he wants to talk to Max about the doctors’ latest visits, because she knows he doesn’t want Billy to be alone. she watches him when he’s asleep, talks to him when he’s awake, is shocked that she was ever scared of him because she finds that he’s actually funny and smart and kind. Steve and Max will come back to the two of them laughing like old pals, easy, comfortable, just two buddies.

and when he’s out of the hospital, when he’s getting slowly back on his feet, moving about on his own, Billy makes sure to pull Robin aside and thank her. he thanks her for taking care of Steve, because he knows how difficult the months have been for him, and he is grateful that Steve didn’t have to go it alone. he thanks her for being there for Max, who had made the hospital her second home, who skipped out on seeing friends because she was terrified of something happening if she left Billy, because Robin gave Max rare moments to just be a kid and, God, she needed that. he thanks her for creating the smallest sense of normalcy each time she stepped into his room, for all the stupid jokes she cracked (all nervous energy manifested as awkward humor, but Billy loved it nonetheless).

anyway, that’s how Robin and Billy become best friends and how Robin, Steve, Billy, and Max because a tiny little family, the end.
