hee hoo UNO REVERSE: 3, 27, and 30 for the ao3 wrapped ask game?! ✨
uwah got uno reversed! ty for the ask!! (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚
3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?
WOW SO i was going to say "significance because i fell down the stairs while writing it, had to take a break to recover from a minor head injury, came back to its weeks (months?) later, and somehow still finished it despite being Real Bad at continuing things i take a break from so am very proud of myself for that" HOWEVER i looked and realized i finished it in 2022?? so i guess that's out for this year's wrapped and woag time sure does fly lol
i feel like the next obvious answer is pride, my ichisama tokyo ghoul fusion, but i don't want to pick it just because it's long. i did enjoy writing it and am more or less happy(ish) with how it came out, though i think a lot of my pride in it (no pun intended) does come from the fact that it was longer than what i usually manage to finish
ANYWAY... i actually think i'm going to go with stay gold! my one and only revenger fic lol
i wrote it in a fit of disappointment over the show's actual ending, but wound up actually really liking it... i think? (still feels difficult to say this about my own writing but i am! practicing!! the self-esteem thing!!!)
there are a bunch of details i managed to include that just make me happy (like the... name thing which i will probably make a separate post about in a minute here because OHMYGOD i want to talk about it again SO BAD and this is as good an excuse as any)
so yeah tl;dr i'm still very happy with stay gold :3
27. What do you listen to while writing?
tragically in recent years i have become the type that needs silence to write, i am just Bad at concentrating with music on even though i would love to listen to something when i write orz
so the answer is currently i listen to nothing while writing, but since that is a very uninteresting answer, i will say that in the past i did listen to godspeed you! black emperor quite a lot for background noise during writing sessions!
30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?
IT'S GOTTA BE [REDACTED] AU BUT I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT YET FOR FEAR OF SCARING IT AWAY LOL the biggest surprise part is how like... 15k of it came spilling out in, what, like 3 days or so?
alas i have stalled on it since then, but i still am very attached to the idea of it i think... so hopefully i will be able to get it done at some point! it is going to be one of those strange niche aus that appeals probably only to me BUT i'm surprisingly in love with the idea and hope to get going on it again soon
(becoming the deer mutual for love tapped was also a wonderful surprise!)

Late night shower thoughts gave me a potential Omari AU idea cuz I was playing around with the ideas of the gang's creativity which led to a cute lil thought of Sunny telling his friends bout his ideas, especially Mari and Basil. And that thought led me to a what if scenario like, Mari writing down and practically just clinging onto the creative ideas Sunny told her when he was alive.
AND THAT SCENARIO, led me to the AU idea. Omari but Sunny died during the argument. Hero saw it, they called 911, oh no Sunny died. Mari was too shaken up to say anything so Hero covered for her by telling everyone that Sunny fell by himself on accident.
Funeral happened and Mari still hasn't gotten over her little brother's death and something in her just s n a p p e d (it's her sanity honestly) So she just threw herself to her studies and something else, aka working on bringing Sunny's creative ideas to life by making DOLLS! Oh wow she even made one of Sunny too. There's a little stage as well, and a little house, practically the other side of the bedroom is filled with a mini lil stuff for the dolls. She is not okay. But hey she at least found a way to balance between her studies and creating her lil personal project cuz one time she fainted and that was a HUGE waste of time! Better not faint again!
It also won't be any good if Sunny saw his sister acting so differently! Better keep her smile and perfect sister image in tact! Sunny is still here, see? He's in the bed sleeping with his other little friends. Keep quiet! Don't wanna wake him up, Mari will be studying in her corner.
Hero knows the truth and is also going through it. Internal battle of whether he should tell the others the truth or not but it isn't Mari's fault! He didn't lie, it was an accident definitely. He also semi threw himself to his studies too but also not really fully cuz he gotta be there for the others. He is also not okay.
Aubrey and Basil has each other. Yeah, neither of them didn't become delinquents! I just think that, considering Sunny's death wasn't covered, Basil would be semi-understanding of Mari as someone who tries to take on her same role as caretaker. But there IS definitely something they're still missing about Sunny's death, Mari is acting way too weird.
Kel keeps everyone's morale up still which is not a good thing for the boy! Hero looks tired 24/7, Mari barely talks to them cuz she's so busy with school and whenever she does it's just unnerving cuz why does she act like everything is okay? Also why does she always carry a doll that looks so much like Sunny. They aren't allowed inside their house anymore either and Mari once got angry when Kel tried to go up the stairs! But it'll be alright if he tries to follow her too right? Mari was the glue of the group so if she's acting the same then he should too! Gotta cheer everyone up!
So basically it's an Omari AU with an unhinged Mari that acts like Sunny's still alive featuring tired Hero, Kel burying his feelings even more, Aubrey doesn't like what's happening, and Basil has a lot of questions. And it's also an AU that I don't think I can put that much attention to so I'm just throwing it out here. (pls... i made it a rule for myself that all the aus i make should have omori but no matter how much i twist and turn and flip this au i dont think i can fit omori in fam, without sunny its impossible to do orz)

the thing is all you do about p3re is salt about it. I'm disappointed by a lot about p3re too but I don't go as far as you do and be a downer all the time. you've been accusing it as a p5 game with the p3 skin which i think is disingenuous, because they were giving p5-esque updates to a 2002 game, a game over 2 decades old
im just happy that you're not one of those people who are hoping that p3's ending would be changed.
there are people saying that the answer is a retcon to the p3 game because mc did not die in p3vanilla and the answer retconned that.
but anyways... im just sad that everytime you post about p3re its all just salt.
Kinda feeling bad for P5 atm, since I've been dragging that dead horse for much longer. TT0TT But I think you're right, even tho I don't talk about it as much, but I've been mostly dragging P3R......
I'm going to be honest........as they come out with stuff, I haven't found a whole lot to be happy about:
(addressing the P5 point here since it goes hand in hand The P5 comparison, and the one I have the most issues with are portions of the UI (I still never published that damn asks did I? shit damn it, well it's buried I'll have to get it at a different time). There's def gameplay features they've added (but more or less I expected them, and actual gameplay changes I'm.....a bit more lenient towards tbh, battle systems will evolve and I accept that). Plus there's the new SEES outfits which are.....very P5 coded....and a strange "we gotta add this!" type of change (aren't we "honoring P3"? why do they NEED a new outfit? Why can't we just have a costume called "PT costume" like the PT got a "Shadow OPs" costume?). THAT BEING SAID....I don't think I've brought up the P5 comparison since the SEES outfits tbh. At least...I thought I was more focused on P3R itself lately...... I should go back and compare it and see just how much influence of P5 I think is on there now that the initial shock has wore off. (that being said....I tried glancing through my blog and....I don't talk about P3R often on here ;w; It's like maybe 70%neg, 30% pos/neutral? I think the last big blow up was the lack of the concept art being on the train? I feel like I've been very passive and silent about the game for the most part....not even talking about a lot of the ad art/trailers/interviews I dunno I just don't find I'm interacting with it much so TT0TT I get I'm being salty but I think P5 deserves to say "maybe ease off a bit yeah?" than P3R atm? sorry if it's been overly salty for you tho anon 😔)
They removed my fav MC. I love P3MC don't get me wrong, but I prefer FeMC. That being said, I love seeing them as a packaged deal. The work off each other so well. I hate how Atlus treats her fans it SUCKS. And IF we are lucky, she might be DLC???? I'm pissed at Atlus' DLC practices already, but this is a kick in the teeth. ;w;
They removed the Answser and Metis. Do I think the Answer is perfect? No. Do I have some issues with it? Yeah. But I love Metis, and good and bad, it's a big part of P3's story. And us not getting that is......really bad imo. Plus the possibility of MORE DLC???
They removed key gameplay features. Tired mechanic and split up mechanic being the biggest two (possibly reversals? I'm not sure on that, I don't mind reversals or even a play on the jealousy mechanic, I just think it needs to be reworked TT0TT). Two mechanics I loved and wished were in P4/5 tbh..... so yeah a bit salty, I've always felt it was a key feature of P3.
Still fucking DLC (not just P3R's fault, but still not a plus...or should I say negative?). And then the costumes aren't as good? TT0TT Thank god for the in game ones. orz At least they aren't making me pay for THOSE. DX
I....am not a fan of the new models and lighting. Soejima got me into Persona (I prefer the 25th anni art styles over this P3Rs), it's not that it's shit I just have a preference..... The lighting however.... and I've always kinda like Vanilla/FES's lighting scheme. There's parts of P3 that I just really love (the ones where they have special lightening and the rainbow). And P3R's.....just hurts my eyes ngl. TT0TT It's flat or bloomed, and then the models will look plasticy, it's just an assault on my eyes orz
Music.....I think I'm the kindest to the music, esp when covering the legacy songs. I don't mind covers. As long as I get an option to play the OG (I like options) then I'm fine. Edit: LOL NEVER MIND APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT THE CASE???? TT0TT WTF ATLUS??? I have some mixing issues (or Azumi's cursive singing) but even tho I labeled it as "salt." It's more of a "minor complaint" compared to other stuff on the list if I'm honest (maybe it'll sound better on my TV who knows)
Still no definitive version. It's related to FeMC/Answer, but really.....the damn questionnaires always listed Vanilla/FES/P3P. I know the biggest argument for a P3 remake was a definitive version. We still don't have that! I've been wanting one since before P3P was released! I knew this would be an issue! TT0TT
Maybe my salt is a bit more apparent because.....I love the originals......I mean I do have issues with them (Yukari/Junpei my be-loatheds), nothing's perfect, everyone has gripes about something even if they love it (*motions to the P4 fandom*). But with the new voice cast/possible translation (and new events) I'm willing to give them a chance (again.....like I always do orz).
I def don't want P3's ending to change. That being said, I'm not gonna be surprised if it does. "This might as well fucking happen" is my mentality atm (at best it's confirmed P3R is a new timeline, which I can dig but......is it really so hard to have one definitive ver???? orz). TT0TT If atlus really wants to keep using P3MC in future games (or heaven forbid FemC to an extent!) they really should play into the multi timeline. Might not be the P3MC we know as the SEES leader, but it's still a variation of him. (this way we keep the OG message in tact, explore/expand the lore, and still get to see an old face without "time warping/travel dream sequence" for the 1000th time, love those but moving forward is also good too TT0TT).
The answer.....didn't..... retcon..... TT0TT Ahhhh this is why the made the Answer, because people were confused. orz C'mon Atlus bring back the Answer! You've been screwing it over both in anime/movie and the manga like c'monnnnnn!!!! ;w;
*inhales* All that being said. I'm just weary. I'm hoping the end product is going to be a lot better than than it looks atm (and that's why I'm going to give it a chance, the complaints I have are from the previews). P3R has been in the perpetual state of "we're so back/it's so over" for me TT0TT It's tiring. And I'm just trying to keep my expectations on the ground (I've already been kicked and then kicked while I'm down with FeMC/Metis, I'd rather stay down until I know it's safe to get back up ;w;)
But there's been a few things that have been......highlights.
Hermit seems to be the same with all the emojis and such (I don't think they are voiced which is both sad and fun, cause I like trying to act out the L33T speak myself)
I think Female SLs have had a strong/confirmed leak that they have a friend route (please! TT0TT god I've wanted this so much!)
While I didn't get the option of SLing my male teammates ;w; I am getting episodes (which is in the vein of that and other stuff I've wanted!) AND there might be some big stuff with Strega which is also something I wanted! (as afraid as I am for flanderization, at least we're getting this!)
More Aigis/MC good stuff (at least in full 3D)
Midori's tweets are unfortunately giving me SOME hope for FeMC/Answer DLC. (unfortunate because it's DLC and cause I dunno if me hoping is good for my health atm)
There's some new songs that I like (even with my minor complaints)
we're getting a BMG randomizer???? Yay????? (I'm excited just confused TT0TT)
Tartarus looks decent, I'm hoping I like the gameplay loop even tho they've cut stuff I love! I'm hoping it's fun to explore!
I like the new upgrades to the presentation for the minor stuff (going to the arcade and such).
I like SOME of the design/UI choices (the white figures remind me a lot of the opening)
OP song is.......ok, pretty visuals. I like the visuals the most. (FES's song is still my fav tho)
As much as I'm resistant to idea (lots of pros and cons, so I'm very conflicted), a part of me is kinda hoping it's a new timeline ngl. I'm just afraid of what.......that entails tho. Like if it's a new timeline, it would explain some....differences and that would be cool. But at the same time I'm....afraid of them changing the ending. I guess I'm preemptively trying to soften the blow in case it happens?
I guess the confliction is "exploring something new" vs "actually honoring the original work????" (which I'm not really feeling they are doing atm).
I dunno, if they wanted to just do a new timeline experimental thing I'd rather they ruin/mess with P4. As someone who prefers P4 Vanilla and can easily just play that as my definitive version, I would've been more down with them messing with P4, and keeping P1/2/3 more faithful and creating a definitive version. Wait...."new timeline"....uhoh *opens up new post* Theory time ;w;
But...yeah I'm sorry anon. I didn't think I was posting about it THAT often tbf (I think the most I've said is on twitter and it's mostly been about the models/lighting fksjkldja but even then I don't think it was THAT often either).
Who knows, maybe I'll like P3R when it releases! Or maybe I'll ignore it and jus stick with FES/P. We'll find out later I guess. TT0TT

you ask childe to teach you how to give hickies
note: shenanigans, biting, hickies under the cut. i'm in a tartaglia mood today orz
when you told childe that you wanted to learn how to give hickies, he laughed.
you frowned at his mirth, feeling embarassed that you started to leave. he pulled you back, that irritating smile still plastered on his face.
"why are you making fun of me?" you asked, annoyance lacing your tone.
childe's smile stayed on, his cheeks red with laughter. "no, i'm not making fun of you. i'm just surprised you'd ask me that, and so happy too that you'd ask me that."
"well, you didn't have to laugh that hard," you said, still displeased with his reaction. you had finally built up the courage to ask him something so embarassing and he had laughed at you.
realizing you were upset, he gently led you to a bench and sat you next to him, feeling sheepish. he didn't meant to hurt your feelings. like he said, he was surprised and happy about your request. you didn't harbor much interest in intimate relationships, atleast not towards him as you seemed oblivious to his attempts of flirting. he couldn't fully understand why you'd ask him something like this but he was genuinely pleased that you were comfortable enough to seek him for anything. he wanted to be an aid to you as much as possible and maybe impress you with his skills too while he were at it.
just that, he hadn't much experience kissing someone, more or less, giving hickeys.
"sure, i'll teach you how to give hickies. as long as you don't give them to anyone else but me," he teased.
you scoffed. "well, if you ask nicely, then perhaps i'll reserve the first one for you."
childe grinned, almost menacingly. "i'll keep that in mind."
"okay," childe started, beginning his hickey lessons. "i'm not sure how to explain it to be honest, but it's practically just like sucking on candy."
"i see," you replied. your seriousness almost made childe laugh but he stopped himself, not wanting to upset you again.
"you know when you're sucking candy and trying to get the flavor out of it? just imagine doing that! practically, you just suck on the other person's skin. and you gotta suck very, very hard," he said, not entirely sure what he was talking about. he assumed hickies are formed with someone else's mouth. the technicalities weren't important, the crucial thing is that the mouth connects with the skin and they slurp as if eating noodles, or something like that.
he was about to tell you this helpful noodle metaphor when you leaned towards his face and said, "show me," wearing a severe expression akin to someone asking to teach them how to chop wood or perhaps, how to arm wrestle. it scared and exhilarated him and he felt a slight tingle on his skin hearing you ask something so intimate from him intensely.
"sure. i'll show you," he said carefully. "but are you sure you're okay with this, y/n? are you fine with me doing this?" he wanted to be sure you were willing to do this with him, and if he was lucky, he could ask for something more, but for now, he does want to give you a hickey very badly.
"of course. i was prepared for this," you said, hitting your chest with your fist, your eyes twinkling. "i am more than ready."
"okay, here i go," whispered childe, leaning towards your neck, a sense of elation washing over him. he got to kiss you! this scenario wasn't exactly as he had imagined doing with you, not this way of pronouncing his attraction for you. but he didn't mind and were still many ways to fix that. he liked you very much after all.
he was moving in when an arm stopped his lips from going further.
he glanced at the mutilated arm on your hand, right in front of his open mouth, glanced at your unchanging expression, and smiled.
"what the fuck is this y/n?" he asked, still grinning.
"a doll arm we could practice on, " you said, shoving the thing on his lips. "it feels almost real isn't this? i got it from hu tao. did you know that, instead of bodies, they sometimes use--"
childe shoved the arm away, a bit too strongly, and it flew outside the window. the window was about six feet away from both of you and yet the force in which childe punched it was astonishingly skilled that it seemed to launch as fast as a ruin hunter's missile. it smashed into someone's balcony, effectively murdering the pigeons resting there, making a child cry and their mother faint in horror.
back in your room, childe wore a calm expression. it was so calm that it terrified you. you can faintly hear the growing cries of people outside who just witnessed a pigeon homicide.
"let's have a duel y/n, what do you say?" he chirped out of a blue, gripping your shoulders tightly.
"right now?" you asked, your voice shaking a little.
"yes!" childe's reply was a tad too cheerful.
"here?" you asked, growing baffled.
"yes, yes!" said childe, murder in his eyes.
"um," you muttered, thinking of an excuse to get out of there. you knew you angered the harbinger but you weren't exactly sure how. angering childe was the worst because then he'd be looking for fights for the entire day and you didn't want to be the cause of such chaos. no, you needed to fix this.
perhaps it was the arm..?
"you can use my arm instead!" you cried when you saw your friend pulling out his blades.
"what?" he asked, momentarily lost. your suggestion seemed to work because his water blades vanished.
you just needed to quell his thirst for blood next.
"you can, like, show me how to make hickies using my arm," you elaborated, shoving your fist close to his face to make your point.
he looked at your offered arm, then back at you, then looked backed at it. he was pissed and foolishly attracted to you that he just grabbed your wrist and glomped on it. you cried in pain, kneeing his stomach in reflex.
it was as intimate as biting into a serving of chicken-mushroom skewer (and getting sucker punched by it) but it would do for now, he thought, crying inside.
extra:
when childe kissed your wrist, a small gasp left your mouth. you tried to suppress the embarassing noise with your other hand, hoping he hadn't heard. childe's kisses were so soft, almost feather-like, yet it excited you nonetheless. the way his lips fluttered lightly on your skin sent shivers down your spine. you were surprised that the soldier was capable of such gentleness to others. you only saw that side of him with his siblings and nobody else. it was so unlike of the harbinger, who mindlessly jumped into battle and spread destruction everywhere, to give affectionate kisses to someone like you (who just punched him too).
when his teeth gently bit on your skin, you jumped, and he steadied your arm with his hand. why was he so quiet? where were his quips, his teasing, his attempts to lighten the mood? his intensity was about to swallow you whole and you weren't sure how to stop yourself from falling for it. he began to lick your wrist, soft kitten licks that made your head swirl. why is he so serious now? when will he laugh it off?
who is this person? you wonder, your breathing jagged as his lips opened and connected to your wrist, sucking your skin faintly. a sigh came out of your mouth and childe's senses prickled at the soft sound. he adored how you tried to control yourself, adored to see how your arms shivered against his mouth, adored the noises you attempted to hide from his sharp ears. his sucking grew more intense as you gradually lost your composure. archons, he wanted to suck you elsewhere besides your wrist and see the different faces that you make. he wanted to see you unravel because of him.
a moan finally escaped your lips as childe bit you firmly. it didn't hurt but you felt every second of it, felt the desire flowing from him.
you shook your wrist away from his hungry mouth, afraid of the lust growing inside you. a hickey had successfully formed on your wrist along with indents from his bites. you gazed at it, feeling hot and elated. you sense childe leaning towards you and you held your breath, feeling trapped between wanting to shove him away and pulling him even closer.
"your turn," he whispered against your ear. "show me."

So I've been having some... thoughts lately, and they'll be posted under a "Read More" thing because I have a feeling this is going to get a little lengthy. For those of you I talk to on Discord, this is nothing new to you. I've discussed it at length. I'm posting this more for the benefit of those I don't talk to on Discord.
Don't worry, it's nothing bad or anything!! And tl;dr: the blog's not going anywhere. I've just had some stuff on my mind.
A lot of people who know me well enough know how I feel about my art and all that, but something that's been on my mind for the past two years or so is the question of whether or not my ask blog has been holding me back from improving as an artist. And I think after thinking on it, the answer is... kinda yes and kinda no. Like on one hand, I know I've improved from when I started this blog. That's obvious, like go at how badly I used to draw Kass and laugh at it.
But on the other hand, I think there's only so much you can do to improve when you're focusing on drawing the same thing all the time, and I feel like lately... especially lately... my art has been extremely stagnant. Not bad, just kinda same-y. And I know it's awful of me, but I look around on Discord servers and see so many other people improve practically at light speed, and I won't lie, I can't help feeling rather envious. One thing they all have in common? They're not only drawing for ask blogs.
Don't get me wrong. I love drawing for this blog, but I also love improving and the satisfaction that comes from it, and I think I'm getting to the point where I can't have my cake and eat it too in that regard sadly. SO maybe it's time to start taking a page from their book and start spending a little less time drawing for this blog and a little more time drawing... well, literally anything else. Practicing fundamentals, drawing other people's characters besides my own more, fusions, or hell even drawing non-Pokemon content. I feel like at this point, that's the only way my art's going to see any real, significant improvement.
My conundrum has always been that I also don't like feeling left out, feeling like I have nothing to show or talk about because I'm stuck in the corner drawing practice stuff you'd learn in an art class while everybody else gets to have fun talking about their characters and plots and stuff. I mean, who wants to see me draw that weird boxy mannequin thing like 5000 times to learn how to draw humans when I could be drawing my seal, right? That is why this blog is not going on hiatus. But content probably will be a bit slow for the foreseeable future, at least until I can consistently achieve that speed and technique that many of the other people I look up to have down to a science. Or at least to some extent.
For the time being, I also want any time I do work on this blog to be focused on plot, because if I can't be excited for my art right now, I can at least be excited for plot, right?. Namely I want to bring back the comic and just doing more with Kass in general because I know the poor guy's been neglected compared to Leilani. As such, with the exception of Mundays, the ask box is going to remain closed for now. I may work on asks and responses and stuff every now and then, but I think until I progress a bit more with plot, they need to be on the back burner for now. That... has to do with another, rather toxic mindset I need to work on breaking, to be honest.
And one last thing? I did make a general art blog awhile back that I've tried and failed to do something with in the past and I'm so sorry. orz But hey, third time's the charm, right?
And uhhhh that's all I really have to say. I do apologize in advance for the slower content, but it's only because I want to give all of you the best content I can, and I made it a New Years resolution to not be so negative about my art (whoops??), and maybe I gotta just... try something different to not be as negative.

HITORI-ESCAPE 2020 : Hitorie’s Free Concert Live Stream - December 7th 2020
youtube
In celebration of their newest single, curved edge, Hitorie streamed a full length concert! Setlist: Polaris Senseless Wonder Namid[A]me Garandou Mae Zero Banchi SLEEPWALK Loveless Gekijougai Talkie Dance Unknown Mother Goose Karanowaremono Ao curved edge In it they announced the release of a new album! Named... REAMP! Febuary 17th can’t come soon enough!!! It will even include songs written by not only Shinoda, but Yumao and ygarshy each as well! Concert report below:
Tumblr media
Initial Impressions: * SND’s shirt has Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe printed on it. * He has a stageprompter to assist with lyrics as well. He struggles to hit the high notes but he nails the high octane power chords. wowaka used to wing when his would sing, so he would slip on his lyrics, and make silly faces, every other song live. I see SND is playing it safe, now that he’s the one in charge of the crazy lyrics!!! Prelude leading into... Polaris *SND gets riled up and turned thhe「誰も知らぬ明日へ行け 誰も止められやしないよ」lyric into a rowdy 「止められやしねえよ」 . Equivalent to “No one can stop us” being turned into “No once can fucking stop us” or so. Shinoda “We’re Hitorie, enjoy the show.” (This ‘Hitorie desu, yoroshiku douzo’ was always wowaka’s stock concert phase.) Senseless Wonder *”Woo-hoo”’s or unintelligible noises made in the riff music breaks. *Yumao sings the backup vocals.  *SND wiggles his foot on his Wah pedal to make the wonky sounds.
Intermissional MC
Shinoda “This marks the beginning of Hitori-Escape. We are called Hitorie. Everyone please stick with us.“Heavy breathing “Hold up. I jumping around too much right off the bat.. I jumped around too much... All I did was hip and hop around a little bit... Haah. I’m gonna drink some water, drink some water!” SND walks over to the amp where bottles lie atop then proceeds to take a big sip. Yumao also follows along with a drink. Yu and SND can be seen conversing, but only SND’s “You got that right.” can be heard. SND returns to the mic “Take a gander, everyone. Even Yumao-kun is already sweating as well. This sparkly sweat of ours.. We will try to deliver you guys our sweat at the highest quality we can offer, deliver it as much as possible.” While SND is talking Yumao makes signs, such as 2 fingers up, towards the staff. “Well then, let’s chug along. Enjoy the show everyone.” Namid[A]me *There’s bubble popping sound effects in the intro now! Yumao is in charge of this, see his MacBook + mixer (+ a handy setlist printout) setup on the table beside him. All with a music program open primed and ready... Right before the song you can even see Yumao click his computer as well! 
Tumblr media
* Yumao sings backup vocals, the whole chorus has his deep voice echoing. The small amount of notes are so concise and moody live... * SND tops the outro off with a “Wasshoi!” Garandou Mae Zero Banchi * Melodramatic piano bit added before the intro. I wonder where this was sampled from... It sounds like SND uses his stereo chorus pedal for his part as well. Shinoda “Thank you.”
Intermissional MC
Shinoda “Uhm.. At the end of our previous live stream I had said ‘Next time we meet will be at the concert hall.’. Sorry, that was a lie... We’re meeting at a live stream yet again. We’re Hitorie, enjoy the show.” Yumao taps his cymbals gently to create the classic concert mood starter sound. SND “That, that’s good! That’s the stuff! That’s the stuff. Without that stuff I feel the silence responding to me.” He motions at the empty auditorium. “That stuff’s nice, nice. I guess ‘cause, y’know. ‘Cause you two have already been y’know. Performing in front of people.” Yumao, hits his cymbal, cue a “Bwaa~n” sound. SND “You can fool me with that shit. No ‘Bwaa~n’ will work on me. You had 2 whole opportunities in a row, yesterday and the day before.” (Referring to Yumao’s appearance in Touyama Nao’s anniversary concerts.) Yumao hits his cymbal yet again, cue a “Shwaaan” noise. SND scoffs “What a kind and swe~et reaction.” SND “I’m the only one. The only one here who hasn’t stood up in front of people. My only upcoming chance will be at ‘Countdown Japan’, at the end of the year. Then in January I’ll be doing our limited fan club concert at Shibuya WWX. Back to back. What the hell is up with this year? What the hell, huh? Huh!!!” SND playfully pounces in Yumao’s direction. Yumao hits his cymbal again. “You’re saving my butt with that. Thanks, truly. Alright. From here on I’m to bring you a few songs without a guitar, only a mic in my hands.” Yumao “1, 2, 3, 4” SLEEPWALK * SND gets on his knees and wiggles to walk on the floor during music breaks, is he imitating a sleepwalker.. * Ygarshy presses a pedal right after every song ends, presumably his tuner, to mute and prevent static. He strums and slaps with his fingers, no pick, for every song. SND “2020 is slowly nearing its end, but, what’s everyone’s opinion on love?” Loveless *BONK 
Tumblr media
* Includes Shinoda flopping around on the floor, squatting like a yakuza, and an outro with SND and yg having a mini string instrument battle! They huddle together! Yumao pounds away! Gekijougai * Additional nebulous intro.  * Yumao is really worked to the bone in this banger! Featuring yet another more intense battle between yg and SND. SND “Alrighty! Ah. Where are y’all now? Where are y’all right now? It doesn’t matter where you are, just dance along to Talkie Dance!” Talkie Dance * During the riff breaks SND chants  Soi! Yoisa! Soi! Hoisa!” Like wasshoi, these are traditional shouts primarily used by O-mikoshi carriers in JP festivals! SND really seems to enjoy using old-fashioned words in a stylish way. SND “Upon this ending year, this one is with love from wowaka!” Unknown Mother Goose “Sing along with me!” * Per usual, Yumao and ygarshy both pitch in for the ‘Oh oh oh’ harmonies. “Sing, please!” * The background vocals in the Unknown Mother Goose are also confirmed by the man himself to be “Give me love”. He had responded to someone with “Oh! You’re sharp!” when asked about it!
Intermissional MC
“Are y’all having fun? Me, I can’t stop sweating. Help me. I can’t stop sweaaating.” SND changes to a high tone voice, “Ah~ This is awesomeee. Methinks this is awesome but, but I gotta say, I’m the only one here who hasn’t had a chance to perform in front of people, no kap.” He returns to his normal tone. “I hold a grudge. I’m always the only one being fucking left outtt. I can't let go of my grudge.
At least look me in the eyes, guys. Ah, whatever. On New Year's Eve I’m gonna appear in Countdown Japan, I’m gonna! ...What does it feel like anyway, performing in front of people? What does it feel like, may I ask you fine young gentleman?” SND’s voice turns to demonic. “Oiiii. Don’t just fucking nod at me. Don’t make up some new common language. You’re over there using no words, bitch.” His voice returns to normal. “Well, whatever. Enough of that. It’s no use staying jealous forever.” Yumao taps his cymbals... “Don’t just fucking ‘clang clang’ either!” Yumao laughs. “You laughed, you laughed! You laugh: you lose, you!”, they all smile. “Uhm... On December 31st, New Year's Eve, we’ll be at Countdown Japan. Please come if you can, hope to see you there. Now then! Next year, I’m talking about next year, it will be the 7th year anniversary of our major debut. In celebration, and to kick off the new year, we have booked Roppongi’s EX Theater for two days, January 21st and 22nd,. This is all I can say for now. Details will be announced later. ...Now let me drink some water.” ygarshy is all done tuning and at attention. Yumao keeps making cymbal sounds to fill the empty space. “I... Today, here, is uhm, Yokohama’s Bay Hall. It’s the place where ‘Swallowtail’ was filmed. When we arrived this afternoon I saw the windows and practically screamed. It’s Yen Town Band! It’s where Glico sang ‘My Way’! I alone was freaking out. Noone was on board with me.. I’m all alone, yet again.... The camera zooms in on Yumao, “Don’t just smile! Don't just smile at me With that said. Our 7th anniversary hits next year! So, here is our very first song, which represents our beginning....” Karanowaremono Ao * Many emotional spotlights.
Intermissional MC
SND “At long last, this time has come. Huh! Mister Yumao-san!” SND glares at him. “Perhaps I may revel in a sip of water as well. A sip of water!! ... By the way what time is it? Yumao, in reporter voice “It is currently eight thirty seven.” SND “I see, it’s eight thirty seven. That's crazy. So today, our new song released, as you folks may know. Our new song called curved edge was released. Did you give it a listen? If you haven’t then please do, but also, the music video for the song will be public today at 22 o’ clock, please enjoy it. That’s the immediate future. But let’s talk about the faaar future.... On February 17th will a new album be released. We made an album. curved edge is a song written by me, and naturally it will be included in the album as well but, that’s not all.” He wags his finger towards the others, “This wiggly windy head of brown-colored hair and, this other wiggly windy head of black-colored hair have even each written a song for it as well. The title is R-E-A-M-P, REAMP. To be released on February 17th. Keep your eyes peeled.” he tapped his temple as he said this, “Please!” Ygarshy bows. “Ahhh, we made it!” Shinoda starts coughing, “Excuse me. Coughing without covering my mouth is not good. I'll be careful. Ah, I’m so nervous. I’ve grown nervous this far in. Alright, this next one will be the final song. Thank you so much for bearing with us. We are Hitorie. As farewell, here is our new song. curved edge.

my lazy ass took almost a week to take the photos and edit them into something that’d look decent when posted...
but yeah, i’ve been thinking about Jason and Alejandro and at some point came up with this au where Jason becomes a ghost and follows Alejandro around to help him get his life back to normal after what happens at South Park ._. and then i couldn’t resist drawing some scenes from it.
my spanish is incredibly rusty so the dialogues are probably painful to read if you actually know the language more than a bit... (jfc i’m already noticing mistakes myself when re-reading) >>” terribly sorry for that...
i’ll put what the whole thing is supposed to be in english under cut...
A: you’re that boy... Jason... you’re supposed to be dead...
J: Yes, I’m dead. But they’re looking for you. You gotta run, now.
---
A: Go away! I don’t need any ghosts with me!
J: It would be much easier to help you if I could speak Spanish.
and that’s pretty much it. the dialogues were supposed to be longer, but not practicing this language for over than a year took its toll U_U now i’m scheduling this post to when i’m asleep cuz posting this turned out to give me much more anxiety than i originally thought it would orz

Week 4 of Spellbound.
-
Sept. 5
I woke up around 1PM.
Watched some YouTube and whatnot before I got to making today’s Hello Fresh Meal. Gooey broccoli cheddar melts. Was just about okay. I need to practice my grilled sandwich game more - burned most of it a bit too much (the times given seemed to be an over-estimate for how hot my stove was). Even me who likes food a bit burned thought it was a little much.
I spent a few hours watching Sanders Sides episodes and charting my opinion of the Sides as I go through it. About halfway through.
I did my exercise really late... but still on date/schedule.
First, today’s DD. 40 squat hold side bends with EC. This was pretty breezy work.
Last, Chapter 19 of the SbP. I was to charge the “Lightning Storm Spell“. I kept my rests to about 1′, today. That definitely made the push-ups harder from built up arm fatigue. But I got it done.
Spent time catching up on my therapy journal and staying up obscenely late again. It has probably been a dubious choice working on that the past few days at night...
-
Sept. 6
I woke up by nearly 2PM today.
After a bit of YouTube, I got going with today’s exercise early.
First, today’s DD. 2′ bicep extensions with EC. I counted 137 reps by the end. Was a bit of a challenge at that pace but manageable.
Last, Chapter 20 of the SbP. I was to charge “Healing Spell Level III“. I rested basically for max time, today. The climber taps were probably the most intense bit. But also doable. Didn’t go for very slow counts - partly due to time and energy constraints.
Much of the rest of the day was spent chatting, browsing, and watching a movie.
I did manage to get to bed in the yellow zone, tonight.
-
Sept. 7
I woke up a bit before 9AM, unsure about whether I had some place to be today or not.
After poking around Ao3 and sketching up another art project, I did my exercise early.
First, today’s DD. 2′ march steps with EC. Pretty breezy exercise and counted 192
Last, Chapter 21 of the SbP. I had to check if I got 3 charged attack spells and 2 charged defense spells on the belt.
I already had the attack spells ready. I just needed one more defense spell, I picked “Levitation“. Rested 1′ and had some fun here - relatively breezy cardio. Glad there was only 10 total jump squats. I especially liked the half jacks!
I spent the rest of my mostly drawing/streaming that Tentacle!Roman picture and chatting. Did get to bed late - about my median for red-zoning. :P
-
Sept. 8
I woke up after 8AM.
Spent almost an hour getting extremely pissed off about the printer. Before I was summoned to join a local small group for the 2020 Virtual Suicide Awareness Walk.
The walk helped me get some chill back, if I’m completely honest.
Once back home, spent time chatting and making dinner, before working out.
First, today’s DD. 2′ uneven plank hold with EC (1′/1′). I wasn’t sure if the sleep dep was going to let me get through it. But just some deep breaths and determination was helpful. Just glad I could manage it.
Last, Chapter 22 of the SbP. This chapter was a bit more complicated in terms of actions taken to progress.
Cast a spell to get a guard’s attention. I chose to cast “Increased Speed“.
Cast 2 defense spells, I casted “Deflect“ and “Levitation”.
I then had to cast an attack spell, “Lightning Storm“. Probability rolled success, so I only needed to spend one instead of two spells for the sequence (if I counted it anyways), So I casted “Iron Strike“.
I was then to charge “Time Stop“. I rested a minute between sets, most since the timer on page only accounted for 1′ and I just wanted to get it done. This was apparently an isometric exercise day (i mean, not complaining - I’m not sure I’d be up for much cardio are jostling movements with energy levels and timing of dinner).
Spent rest of day doing some more drawing and chatting.
Did get to bed earlier than yesterday, but still in the red.
-
Sept. 9
I woke up a bit before noon.
Got to Seeking Safety Group again. It was nice and fun to be there.
First, today’s DD. 40 raised leg circles with EC (supine). Just about manageable, despite being pretty tired.
Last, Chapter 23 of the SbP. Casted “Healing Level III“.
Charged and casted “Super Strength Spell“. Max rest, was a bit tired, but I got through it alright. Push-up form was just ok.
After dishes, spent more time to finish that Roman drawing. Technically finished it around 6AM the next morning (had to quickly make some changes to it after posting).
Technically, pulled an allnighter, too (got to bed around 8AM). orz
-
Sept. 10
I woke up after noon. Definitely grossly underslept for it.
After a bit of Tumblr, I went out to get my laundry done. Then chatted and did dishes, before working out.
First, today’s DD. 40 sit-up punches with EC. It’s always fun to be able to llok at a DD and to be able to go, “I got this (one go, no anchors).“
Last, Chapter 24 of the SbP. Charged and casted the “Dome Spell“. Rested for 1′ in between sets. Brisk and manageable cardio. Only downside/concerning aspect was my left ankle being a bit grumpy about the jacks (even though they’re usually very fun). Gotta keep an eye on that.
Spent some time doing some glitchy .gif involving the Tentacle!Creativitwins drawings (will post it some time later though.)
Did get to bed in the yellow zone, because tired.
-
Sept. 11
I woke up around 10AM.
Spent time chatting and shopping before doing my exercise.
Active rest day, so the only devoted exercise I did today was the day’s DD. 50 side bridges with EC (25/25). A bit tough, but doable.
Did some more chatting and set up the new printer I ordered.
I then made today’s Hello Fresh meal. Pub-style Hello Fresh. Bro really enjoyed it and I liked it well enough myself (I was extremely hungry at that point too). Dad was kinda meh (he’s been p down abt food lately).
Did some more chatting, doing dishes, cleaning the kitchen (counters, stove, and microwave), washing some rags, clearing some clutter... and making a lil coin purse. Despite being overtired at that point.
... yeah, another allnighter, got to bed around same time as previous one this week.

I really admire how prolific you are! How do you write so much in a day??
there’s not really an answer? orz
I’m only writing this much on very good days (or on like, specific bad days when depression hits me just right, but that’s very rare). Otherwise, you’ll mostly find me on tumblr, whining about how I’ve Lost Inspiration and will Never Write Again. Helping factors though;
I have an amazing and supportive partner that tolerates the fact that I mostly don’t do shit except write sometimes, and who encourages me and lets me talk about my ideas (even worse, they provide plenty of ideas as well, and since they write too it’s just a certain atmosphere in the house)
I have been writing since I was... hm... 12?13? At the very minimum 14. I’m now going on 32. So I’ve spent a ton of time writing, and like most skills it comes easier with practice.
So, if you were looking for advice, uh. Don’t compare my best days to your normal, bad ones. Find someone who gets excited about what you do (even as a young teen I chatted about stories with friends, and it made me want to pursue writing) while also being excited about it yourself (it gotta spark joy!!). And continue writing whenever you can because welp, the only way to write is... to write? orz

Oh what about for the team as a whole? Do they have any special team building exercises that Ruby implemented? What goes down in the group chat? How do other people perceive them since they're kinda famous? When did they really start to trust each other, specifically when did Weiss and Blake let down their walls? And anything else you can think of. (I really hope I'm not bothering you with these; I can stop if you want. 😅)
 (whew okay long boi so under the cut i go!
at first ruby is pretty bias with her team building exercises (lots of sparring/ weapon oriented actives like learning what ammo works for everyone’s weapon, weapon swapping shenanigans, etc)
resolved to a biweekly board game/ dnd night (yang and ruby are entirely too competitive but when weiss gets a hang of a game she gets /really/ into it)
ruby takes a surprisingly large amount of time planning activities?? weiss appreciates her abundant energy being used for something practical but she also wonders how she has time for all her assignments (she doesn’t)
blake is the slowest to warm up to everyone and after the events of v1 ruby makes sure that the activities aren’t always crazy high energy things so blake isn’t overwhelmed
the group chat is pretty sparse since they live together and share a few classes
mostly reminders for each other, plans for activities (like what’s for dinner), maybe warnings for classes they share at different times (pop quiz in prof. peach’s class watch out!) ruby and yang use a lot of emojis..
started off very formal and awkward but after weiss was the first one to send a meme it went downhill from there
(honestly not sure how to answer the fame question.. are they famous? ig people seem them as the plucky strange group of freshmen😅)
i think somewhere between the end of v1 and the dance arc weiss definitely warmed up to the team and even got used to psychical contact with all of them! (hugs everyone more, pats their backs, subtle hand touches, etc)
it took blake a little longer, around the end of v2. seeing as how she was comfortable enough to talk about adam that one episode i feel like she’d be more social to the rest of the team about her history, interests, etc.
creating team attacks really helped, i think they pitched ideas together instead of ruby naming them all (weiss and yang said freezerburn at the same time it was fate)
briefly mentioned before, they take turns for dinner sometimes since (if beacon is basically college) meal plans can be expensive, and while weiss could buy for everyone everyday it’s more personal yknow?
order of cooking ability from worst to best: weiss, ruby, blake, yang
weiss can cook good enough but they’re very simple dishes, probably soups and stews, things where you basically cut the ingredients and toss em in a pot kinda things (yang helps her)
ruby is mostly skilled in baking so while she makes /really/ good bread that are great bases for a meal she’s only really at pasta levels (lots of spaghetti and pasta salad)
blake spent time in the white fang and probably had to learn how to cook early on, i figure she cooks lots of cured meats, but once she realizes the she has access to more resources she goes crazy with side dishes
yang learned a lot by watching qrow and taiyang in the kitchen and wanting to help. makes the fullest meals and dessert on the side. you will not leave the table unless ur tummy is full and u are contentalso ur good i just gotta remember my hcs cuz i never write em down orz

The various save files I have tells a story...
Tumblr media
My latest one was done on PROTOCOL 4 and GOOD GRIEF the rng hated me so badly. I had to reset that run in hopes that it'd show mercy but no, it still gave me that One Enemy I don't even know the name of in the first boss chamber where its weapons are fans and good lord do I hate it. First run and it keeps doing that Reverberation effect on MY LUOCHA, MY LIFE LINE. And once it summons its minions it's practically a done deal. I'm dead.
Next reset and I luckily got an Elation x Remembrance equation that I activated before the boss so it was completely frozen and THANKFULLY ENOUGH my Ratio and Moze was enough to kill it faster than it can thaw itself. I wanted to also try to get the lil advancement of doing 6 or fewer battles along the way to finishing Protocol 4 but rng says NOPE ANYWAY!
I keep going for Occurrence domains so I barely have any blessings orz... And rng keeps giving me Occurrences with battles in it SO WHAT'S THE POINT GOODNESS ME. You may also be thinking, hey, Aria, how is it that all your equations are catered to follow-up but Argenti is in there? RNG. It hates my entire existence.
The last boss was Argenti. head in hands... I had to restart that challenge so much... it was so painful... all my equations and blessings were catered specifically for follow-up and RNG GIVES ME THE ENEMY OF ERUDITION??? THE KING OF ENEMY SUMMONS??? WHERE THE ENEMIES' WEAKNESS IS PHYSICAL??? ARE YOU SERIOUS--
Whenever I'm faced with Bossgenti I gotta put my own Argenti in the team otherwise I'm capital F Fucked. I was still fucked in this battle cuz it's such a bad mismatch of my wrecked team and equations and blessings and oh staaaaaarrrsss I'm o<-< I'm just so glad I managed to beat Protocol 4 after the absolute agony from rng.

Why Hríd is such an amazing character who just got done wrong during his “character arc” (SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE BOOK II AND FORGING BONDS)
WARMING: THIS IS JUST ONE LONG ASS LOVEMAIL POST FOR HRÍD
this was originally written as a thread on twitter but i’ll try my best to put it all here because someone asked for it some time ago
I’m putting it here because @chascah suggested i uploaded it here as well for those people who actually appreciate the icy boy
this is basically an analysis to most if not every quote from hríd, also adding some translations and little details from the japanese quotes (and some lore behind the whole idea of hríd’s new year alt)
let’s start then!
lemme start with the fact that hríd only appeared in 3 out of 13 chapters, yet is the character that caught my interest the most (funny because i already had a crush on alfonse, then i saw hríd and was like "oh, hello there")
hríd arrived like a half-dead yet somehow composed prince who somehow (x2) survived by himself in múspell for weeks (maybe even months, there's no exact timeline but it is canon that alfonse and the others spent some weeks in nifl, it probably also took them a while to navigate through múspell until loki arrived as ylgr)
he served as some kind of excuse to not put bruno too much with the main characters, practically a messenger only despite this guy being alive with burns and a broken sword (the crack on gjöll's blade hurts bc he couldve actually lost his sword and ended up defenseless in battle oof)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so, there was no really much use of his character other than being a magical solution for everything
he even helped unmask loki (though they never explain why hríd suspected of ylgr, we only know loki's own take)
btw, can we talk about the fact he probably outsmarted loki while the others weren't yet in múspell? he terrorized surtr's army and even outsmarted laegjarn and laevatein
and since he survived for so long i believe most of his wounds were made by surtr himself
they never really say whether he actually managed to kill surtr or not, but let's say yes just to add up on all of the things hríd does just in the story
at first glance it looks like he's doing nothing, but reading further into it and applying some logic
hríd's... he's pretty impressive for a prince so young
gotta also add how hríd appears less impulsive in japanese than in english
when "alfonse" blames him for being a traitor, hríd gets to the defensive immediately in english
in japanese, he's more in shock, probably because after all he's tried, he's being doubted by his allies (which shows a lot how much he cares about being perceived as perfect, something i'll get on to later if i have enough time)
I added this part in the middle of the whole thing because it was a different thread so excuse the sudden change of topic, kinda. It’s supposed to be from the last conversation in Book 2, where Fjorm tells Hríd she’s going to stay in Askr despite her “condition”.
"I understand your feelings, Sister. By all means, go. I will pray for your safety."
this is one of the quotes i'd like to put in that one hríd character thread i want to make
the feeling behind this quote got completely lost in translation, as there's no way to translate it properly
in japanese, hríd uses a pecular way of speech to refer to his sister here he says "... I get it. If that is what you wish, it's alright to go. I'll pray for your safety." the peculiar part, aside from hríds "..." is where he refers to fjorm, the "you"
hríd normally uses "kimi" to refer to people, which is like a more... gentle? way of speaking? men usually use it towards women bc they want to treat them nicely, and jps in general use it with people they don't know (it's that, or "anata" or "[name]-san")
yet here, hríd decides to use "omae" to refer to fjorm, which is more informal and even rude (specially for someone who normally uses "kimi", it means he wanted to express some kind of anger or frustration about fjorm's decision without saying it directly,,,,,,,,,,,,,which is very japanese to do so,,,,,, *looks into the distant "most japanese people i've known don't directly say 'no' and instead go 'hmmmmmm' '*very indirectly rejects*' and it's probably a fact*)
it feels like instead of being supportive, hríd just understood there was no way of convincing fjorm to stay with them
so he gave up and felt hurt by that
please protect hríd
Back to the rest of the analysis.
now let's talk about forging bonds, in the wiki there's only the opening part transcribed in japanese, the rest is only on english (i curse not having started playing 3 months earlier orz)
the first thing you can notice in the japanese version is how informal hríd is when he's stressed
Tumblr media
while he speaks in an usually softer manner, here, he doesn't even greet ylgr and gunnthrá, he goes directly to "gunnthrá... ah, ylgr is here too" (he kinda does the same in the mainstory, where he just says “ah, fjorm, you’re okay... ylgr too :)”)
AND IMMEDIATELY, HIS NEXT TEXT IS HIM CALLING GUNNTHRÁ WITH "OMAE”
ALREADY DEEP INTO THE STRESS OF MÚSPELL INVADING THEM
this shows how easily stressed hríd gets and how much he lets his emotions dirve his attitude and actions (which makes sense with the part where he tells fjorm she should be the one wielding leiptr and not him, he's too emotional despite how much he tries not to be)
Tumblr media
in these parts we also see some level of deattachment from gunnthrá, on english he goes "sister..." by the end of the opening conversation
Tumblr media
in the jp, however, he stays silent, he doesn't even call her name
Tumblr media
idk if it's just me overanalyzing it, but from my experience with animoo and vidya, it feels a little weird that he says nothing there, like he's thinking (this is probably foreshadowing hríd's inner feelings oof)
something that i particularily like about this event is that hríd seems so at ease when he's on the dreams, even in the english translation it seems like that he mentions it might be because he feels at ease with kiran but i feel like it also has to do with the fact they're just a dream, it's not the real world, there's nothing to worry in a world where there's no war
at least, that's the feeling his dialogues give me
the closest thing to that hríd is his lvl40 speech and ny hríd (who's happier)
the only quote where hríd mentions some type of concern for his mother btw
Tumblr media
from here on it only gets worse when it comes to hríd, though
he speaks about the invasion and such he talks in a way that implies he's probably taking the role of a commander (same as how it is implied he trains the soldier, or that he trains with them, though since he's been training alone with fjorm for so long, it's most likely the former) aside from that, he's weighting on himself the responsibility of what happens to nifl and what happens to his family
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and since he's doing so, here's when it comes the part of hríd not being able to care about himself
this young man is carrying a heavy weight, the hopes and dreams and lives of many innocent and PEACEFUL people who barely even know how to fight, on top of those of his loved ones
it doesn't seem like anyone asked him to, not even his mother or sisters
he just decided it on his own that he needed to be "the perfect prince/king" in order to "protect" them
/even if it costs him his life/
he prepared his sisters for that moment (which, might give an insight that hríd knew more than he says, but let's leave my conspiracy theories aside lol)
Tumblr media
and to THAT PART, we can add this from the mainstory
in english, when he's rescued, he thanks them for doing so
Tumblr media
but in the jp text he actually apologizes for it
Tumblr media
not sure how to exactly translate it, but it's something along the lines of "my apologies...for having to be saved..."
idk you guys, but it sounds like what someone who just failed to commit suicide would say, instead of someone who's grateful to be alive
and it makes sense, with how obsessed hríd seems to be about "dying for his loved ones" despite it not being entirely necessary
i mean, look at that, he survived surtr and was aided by bruno as he escaped (probably? they never say what exactly happened, but since they're looking for hríd and not for bruno, it's most likely that they just found each other by accident)
and yes, even though he seems to calm down with those thoughts during the sequence, it is only a dream and we know he has no recolection of them
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he forgets completely about that motivation to keep living, which leads him into further down the path of death  (whichinnorsemythologymightbecalledhríd,,,,,,orgjöll,,,ykow?)
im still not done, havent even gotten to his unit quotes lmao
hríd still did his best to survive for as long as he could, but it feels more like his strategic "i'm making time for fjorm and the askrans to make their moves" purely, out of the fact he didn't seem too happy to survive until he saw fjorm and ylgr
hat's all of hríd's quotes from that event, i can finally move on to his unit quotes
let's start with this one, luckily it is practically the same quote in both languages
this immediatelly counters any "hríd is boring" comment
Tumblr media
though that is subjective, in my case what drove me even further into loving hríd was how different he was from usual characters related to ice
he might come off as cold sometimes, but it's purely because he's actually really dense/has a really bad sense of humor
Tumblr media
in jp he tries to make an ice joke, but says "it's not suitable for him" (which is funny because in english he does have ice puns and i hate it)
1. he doesn't mention his mother 2. hríd blaming himself and being kinda gloomy part 1 
Tumblr media
"I should have protected my people and sisters, I couldn't play that role... I can never forget that." 
this part hurts a lot (it's a little more poetic than the og one, i like it lol)
Tumblr media
he could be talking about himself, about his sisters, his people, or all together, since the four of them have expressed desire for peace, and all four ended hurt by such thing
this part is scary, though it's not as much in english
Tumblr media
NOT BECAUSE OF THE TRANSLATION, but because of his battle lines in eng (i'll get to that first and then come back to this one)
the most shockingly different skill trigger is the second one
Tumblr media
the first one is exactly the same the third one in jp is "this is the last blow" (or smth like that) the fourth one is a little weird to translate (ice upon you works, but "freeze your life" sounds a little scary??)
OKAY BUT THE SECOND ONE ALONG WITH THE VOICE CLIP
IT KINDA SCARES ME A LITTLE FOR MY CUTE SWEET MOCHI BOY
it literally says "no mercy for the enemy"
IT'S LITERALLY SUGAR COATED, hríd went from a gentle giant to a merciless killer (who knows how many muspellians he's killed???) thanks to surtr and his fucking ass
hríd blaming himself and being gloomy part 2
Tumblr media
the fact that he has not one, not two, not three, but about 5 to 6 lines that imply he's still dueling over everything that happened during the war is hurtful, he really can't forgive himself for that
he also sounds a little dead to me here (it’s one of the voiced quotes from his status page!)
which brings me back to the initial scary one
hríd is obsessed with earning his peace no matter what
and for that, he wants to get stronger
for that, he's willing to even perish, for everyone's sake
it's so sickening for me since i can kinda relate???? it reminds me a lot of the kind of wording they use for depression-themed japanese works, with the "peace" part and his willingness to just die anytime (which, is actually pretty normal for a warrior outside of FE. outside)
iT MAKES ME FEEL BAD BUT AT THE SAME TIME i kinda like he's written this way
AND EVEN WHEN HE'S LIKE THAT, hríd is still a gentle sweetheart who speaks so kindly you kinda forgets how merciless he is in the battlefield
like, the audio where he holds kiran's hands???? where he speaks about how the order of heroes saved nifl????? EVEN WHEN HE GETS STARTLED
he's always such a gentle and kind person
it makes me hate surtr even more because they didn't deserve this
hríd didn't deserve going through all of this fucking shit HE. DESERVED. HAPPINESS. AND PEACE.
then there's the ny hríd
he's an angel
a happy angel who makes me a little sad bc og hríd is not as happy
From here on everything was written like 2 weeks after the previous stuff :’) i’m sowwy
he's a resolute prince, he has the resolution of saving even at least one person,,,,,instead of being a "king", instead of being a "brother", or a "prince", he just wants to be "a hero",,,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hello, this is my opening statement of why ny hríd makes me cry with just existing
welcome
let us start with something that makes his quotes even better, particularily the previous quote and his lvl40 speech, which is the powerful meaning of this alt itself for a character such as hríd
in japan, new year used to be celebrated not at the end of the year, but at the end of winter, which is where geishun comes into the scheme, as it currently means "new years greetings" but in those old times, it was actually "welcoming spring" (or something along those lines i suck for precise translations)
and that's where our next quote comes into the picture
Tumblr media
hríd speaks about nifl's winter, about how it practically symbolizes the nifleans' strength and will power
the alt itself is a more positive hríd, one who's willing to try his hardest for everyone, who doesn't regret his past, but looks into the future and has the purpose of being even better than before
of course, this hríd didn't suffer the same fate as the OG hríd, as he still has all 3 sisters (i want to believe ylgr was with them, just not shown bc of the lack of space for a sixth character) and now also 2 new allies to power their search for peace and strength to defend that peace
so, while our normal hríd is desparate to become stronger and suffers, this hríd is like his pole opposite, it's like the sun and the moon (too bad this hríd has no default special, sol would've fit him so well)
can we talk about how he feels so comfortable wearing the celebratory outfit?
Tumblr media
the obi (the.....thing that acts as a belt) should be tied strongly enough so the hakama (the pants) doesnt fall down while he fights, yet he feels comfortable with it
i mean, it isn't as constrictive as a kimono as it doesn't prevent him from moving around freely, but he still shouldn't normally feel as comfortable with it as he is, he's never even worn something like that (it is implied, at least) yet he's loving it, isn't it adorable???
one time i joked about hríd being able to feel when winter is coming or when snow will start falling but
Tumblr media
i think this quote pretty much confirmed it (YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S BECAUSE IT'S WARM, IT DOES SNOW IN ASKR WE'VE SEEN IT)
Tumblr media
blessed boy munchs a whole fucking piece of mixed flour with FOUR HUNDRED GRAMS OF FUCKING SUGAR 
he's got a sweet tooth i know it, i know my people when i see them
it's just that he doesn't seem disgusted, and he also only mentions the mochi so we can assume he didn't drink sake or matcha with it
he ate the fucking thing alone and apparently liked it
we have a sweet angel, guys
Tumblr media
i just think this quote is cute, he loves cold just as much as i love him
Tumblr media
t HIS IS SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT FROM OUR NORMAL HRÍD HE'S SO POSITIVE AND DETERMINED I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
though in japanese, the last quote is a little more gloomy
im not entirely sure of how to properly translate it *looks at the jisho page of the kanji he cant understand* it's certainly a word
but it could be something like "to be in such a predicament from so early in the year... I'm unable to say it's pathetic..."
i???? imagine he says he "can't say it" because he's trying to be positive?????? or something along those lines, but saying it proves he's taking it way to the extreme
nasakenai can also be shameful or miserable, pitable, disgraceful stuff like that
Tumblr media
i'm not sure how to describe this quote?
this time it's the english localisation that kinda throws me off, i don't understand what he's trying to say lmao
in japenese he's saying something about having been graced this early in the new year
7 years speaking english and i still can't break down complex phrases the only reason i've survived this long is through the power of deduction abilities
pray for me
u know hríd's damaged quotes in english are all grunts, right?
in japanese, this hríd has a peculiar quote i find adorable when he gets damaged
Tumblr media
he says "as expected from you...!"
hE'S COMPLIMENTING HIS ENEMY, THIS IS THE SAME MAN WHO SAYS NO MERCY AS HE KILLS THE FOE
btw listening to his english quotes is so funny
he sounds so damn cool in japanese and in english he
he sounds like a fucking nerd
I THINK IM TAKING A LIKING TO HIS ENGLISH VOICE ACTING PURELY BECAUSE HE SOUNDS STUPID
compare this (JP) https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/feheroes_gamepedia_en/1/12/VOICE_Hr%C3%ADd_Resolute_Prince_SKILL_2_jp.wav
to this (ENG) https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/feheroes_gamepedia_en/6/6a/VOICE_Hr%C3%ADd_Resolute_Prince_SKILL_2.wav
it's the exact same quote by the two different VAs
HE SOUNDS LIKE A NERD IN THE ENGLISH VERSION I CAN'T
back to translations and analysis
i hate this one
Tumblr media
his eng quote is more positive while the japanese one is something along the lines of "I was useless... I'm sorry..."
I
HATE
IT
look, say whatever you want, but hríd is such a sweet man
he cares for people and he tries his best to be the perfect prince everyone thinks he is
AND FOR HIS *MORE POSITIVE VERSION* TO SAY THIS AS HE IS DEFEATED IS JUST
WHAT DID HE DO TO U INTSYS TO MAKE HIM SUFFER THIS MUCH??
despite how "im so useless...!" his japanese version is
Tumblr media
he way he says these two quotes sounds way more positive in japanese lmao it's the same translation, only that he's more "I'll repay you!!!!!!" in jp ( https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/feheroes_gamepedia_en/3/34/VOICE_Hr%C3%ADd_Resolute_Prince_MAP_3_jp.wav )
adorable
can’t use emojis on this pc so i’ll just leave the whole screenshot here
Tumblr media
you see this quote here?
Tumblr media
this is what it actually says
Tumblr media
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CHANGED IT BUT I THINK IT'S CUTE BECAUSE I THINK HE DIDN'T JUST SWALLOW THE WHOLE MOCHI
HE ATE IT NORMALLY AND THINKS HE'S GOT SOME ON HIS CLOTHES BC PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT HIM LGHDSKLGSDFKS
why are u so cute aaaaaaa///////////
Tumblr media
this is probably the translation of hríd's quotes i hate the most  in english it just...sounds so rude
Tumblr media
in japanese it's more like "could you please tell me if i'm wearing these clothes wrong? i'll fix it fast"
he's trying to be respectful to the hoshidans sobs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THESE TWO QUOTES ARE SO DIFFERENT BUT SO EQUALLY ADORABLE AND POWERFUL
THIS 180~195CM OR SO MAN IS THE MOST ADORABLE PERSON IN THIS WHOLE PUTRID PLANET AND IM GOING TO TELL YOU WHY
first, this is my fave quote on english
he sounds so confused as to why people think the hoshidan clothes suit him
HE'S. NOT. AWARE. OF HOW FUCKING GOOD HE LOOKS.
TELL ME THAT'S NOT THE CUTEST SHIT EVER HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT
to make it more adorable, in japanese, the original quote is something like "I wonder what makes a type of clothing 'suit' you..."
HE'S GOING ALL PHYLOSOFICAL ON THAT SHIT probably because people keep telling him he looks good in that kind of clothing
this man's density is so powerful that he can't even begin to understand people find him attractive and that the attire literally makes him go from a 10 to a 1000000000000000000
he doesn't get it and he wants to know if it's really true so he goes out of his way TO ASK KIRAN
i love hríd so much he's so adorabl e
i want to give him a hug
with this i finish my thread for now
for now
hopefully we will get another alt for hríd and i can come back to spam about how adorable his quotes are
please stan hríd he's literally an angel

What does Mary Know?
Flash fiction Friday!! I’ve gotta just do this upload quickly because it’s 3:43 am and cold as anything XD I failed the prompt challenge by going a liiiitle over the word limit <.<;; But I hope you like this story! Feedback is appreciated ^u^
Prompt: Peachy Kissies
Words: 2501 (orz)
Character(s): Xavier, Mary, and Will
----------
          “Xave, if you want to come to the creek, you have to get ready.” Exasperation tinged Mary’s voice. Progress was cut short, yet again, by her little brother. They were supposed to have been out the door ten minutes ago, but she hadn’t even finished brushing her short, ginger snap brown hair yet, constantly stop-starting thanks to Xavier’s dawdling.
          “I am ready!” He just hadn’t brushed his teeth. Or gotten his hat. Or his sandals. Totally ready.
          Mary sighed. “Have you put your sunscreen on, or do you need help?” He was remarkably autonomous for his age, but that wasn’t what she was really asking. As expected, he puffed his freckled cheeks, crossing his arms with a huff.
          “Don’t wanna!”
          “Xave. You can’t leave the house unless you put sunscreen on. You’ll get burnt.”
          He thrashed his tail, the image of petulance. “No!”
          Another sigh. “Then you’ll have to go to school with Mama today instead.”
          Oh boy. Here it comes. An angry flush coloured his skin. “Nooo!! I wanna go wif youuuu!!!”. His face, usually dimpled with a smile, was overtaken with a deep scowl. Mary resisted the urge to bury her face in her paws, and maybe scream a little. Barely. Why did this always happen when it was her turn to look after him? Frustration bubbled in her guts, trying to claw its way up her throat. Logically, she knew it wouldn’t help anything to lose her temper. Unfortunately, logic was benched right now. Before everything boiled over, Will popped his head around the corner.
          “What’s all the noise?” Toothbrush dangling between his teeth, he took a second to survey the room and exchange a Look conversation with Mary. Catching onto the situation, he feigned a shocked look. “You’re not telling Xave to use sunscreen, are you!?” He waited a beat, glancing down at his brother. A stage whisper now. “You know he’s not ready for that yet!”
          Mary shrugged. She wasn’t quite sure what Will’s game plan was, but she could run with it. “I thought he was. You’re probably right though.” A deep sigh. “He’s still just too little.”
          “Whaddya mean?” Xavier eyed his siblings, trying to wrangle the answers out with his mind. Something suspicious was happening here.
          Will stumbled over himself a moment, surprised that Xavier caught on. “Ah, well, you see, only big kids get to put on sunscreen. It’s very important so little kids like you can’t do it yet.”
          “I’m not little! I’m a big kid too!!” Xavier stood as tall as he possibly could, fox tail wriggling with earnest. “See!”
          Will and Mary exchanged looks again. Will shook his head. “I don’t know. What do you think Mares?”
          “Hmmm. I think he’s still too little… Maybe a big kid should show him how it’s done.”
          “When you’re right, you’re right. I was just about to put some on myself. Do you want to come and put sunscreen on with me, Xave?”
          “I do I do I dooo!”
          “Come on then.”
          Xavier didn’t waste another second, pouncing onto his brother’s outstretched hand and dragging him off to the bathroom. Mary mouthed a thank you to Will as they went. The air always seemed a little lighter when Will was around. Probably because he seemed so unfazeable. She was a little envious of him for that. The frustration had simmered away, but watching her brothers had left a cold pebble in her chest.
~
          Thanks to Will’s intervention, they were out of the house in no time. Xavier begged for his big brother to join them, but he was stuck with Mary for the day. Will had work to do. They were lucky enough to catch the bus just as it rolled to the stop, shuffling on board and claiming the back row. It wasn’t all that unusual for this bus to be close to empty. It was a route less travelled.
          Mary stared idly out the window, half leaning on the plasticy frame of the chair in front of them. Motion sickness was a pain at the best of times. With the way the bus was swaying over every bump in the near-dirt road, one look down and she’d be redecorating the seat covers.
          “Hey Maary?”
          “Hm?”
          Xave was already pretty much flush against her, but he managed to scoot closer. He put his face up to hers. She could feel his warm kid breathe with every whispered word. “Mary?”
          “What’s up Xave?”
          “Mary, what’s boredish mean?”
          “What do you mean? Where’d you hear it?”
          “The lady up there.” A nod to the middle-aged woman perched on the reserved sideways seats. “She said ‘I can’t belief they let someone so boredish on the bus’.” The woman flinched. Xavier’s whispering skills were not nearly as strong as he thought. She stared ahead, stiffly avoiding Mary’s honey gaze. A totally average person. No claws. No fur. No tag. Privileged.
          “Is that right?”
          “Mn hm.”
          “I think you mean boarish. It means ‘boar-like’, someone who is rude. A boar is a wild pig.”
          Xavier looked thoughtful, considering her explanation. “Are boars rude?”
          “I don’t know. I’ve never met one.”
          “How come she said it then?” He continued before she could answer. “Isn’t it more rude to say mean things when you don’t know if someone is rude? ‘Cause then, you don’t know. You know? Because maybe boars are actually very nice but maybe they get grumpy because people say mean things about them. An then maybe they be rude because they’re grumpy? I think maybe we shouldn’t say that word unless we meet some really rude boars. But not boars that are grumpy because people are mean to them. Right?” He fiddled with her paw as he spoke, cold little fingers working through the thick fur.
          Mary managed to fight the urge to chuckle as the woman’s embarrassed fidgeting increased at every word. Instead, she nodded solemnly along with Xavier’s reasoning. “That sound like a good idea to me.” He beamed at her agreement.
~
          Much rocking and waiting later, their stop came into view. To Xavier’s unyielding delight, Mary let him press the stop button. They hopped off the bus to hike the rest of the way. In honesty, it wasn’t that far. It was the thick humidity that weighed them down, making every movement heavy and sluggish, delaying their arrival further. They took their time and finally reached their destination. Water babbled quietly over smooth river pebbles. Bugs sang to the sweaty sun, hiding from its gaze in the long tufts of grass bordering the creek. The water wasn’t that deep, the heat of the season left it lucky to reach over Mary’s belly button in its deepest parts. Still, she’d have to be vigilant. Any aquatic body can be dangerous for a child. Speaking of, Xavier was already making a beeline to the water.
          “Wait a minute! Floaties or no swimming!”
          He spun around, hopping from foot to foot. “But!”
          “Come on, it’ll just take a minute.”
          He whined but returned to her as she fished the deflated water wings from her patchwork backpack. She was still proud of how that had turned out. She pulled them out carefully, the rubber as soft as it was slippery between her long claws. The last thing she needed was to accidentally puncture it and then have to explain to a very upset fox child why he couldn’t swim. Managing to grip them in her paw pads, she snapped the lids open, blowing them up while answering Xavier’s questions between breaths.
          “Hey Mary?”
          Blow! Breath. Answer. “Yeah?”
          “Are floaties for big kids?”
          Blow! Breath. Answer. “Yep.”
          “How come you don’t got any?”
          Blow! Seal. Breath. Answer. “They don’t fit my big ol’ bear arms. I’m very jealous you get to be so cool with these fire floaties.”
          “Really!?”
          “Mn hm. Really really.”
          He bounced on his toes, sliding the water wings up as far as they would go. “Well, you can borrow mine then! Um! But you can use just one. We’ll put it on, uh, your, on your foot! And then I’ll have one! And then together, we’ll be cooler than Will, right? Even though Will is the coolest, I think if we’re both cool with the floaties, we can be coolister than Will, ‘kay? ‘kay! Can I go swim now?”
          Mary laughed, nodding. “You can swim, but stay where I can see you. Otherwise, we will have to go straight home. Okay?”
          He was already running for the water. “’Kay!”  
          It was really something else, the way Xavier looked up to William. Whenever he was around, Xave was practically attached to him, and not always metaphorically. There were fights, or the closest approximation you can have with someone who barely reaches over your knee, sometimes. Of course there were. All siblings have disagreements. They’d probably get into more arguments now that Xavier was becoming more articulate. He had Opinions now. But ties were always mended quickly. Will had a knack with children. He always seemed to know what to say and how to act around them. As far as role models go, he was a pretty good choice too. Maybe it was because he’s a lot like Mama. In a way, Mary was embarrassed by it. Not because of Will acted, but because her brother was so much better with children than she was. When they had first been told of Xave’s conception, she’d imagined herself as a nurturing big sister who would share the world with the new baby. And, while he was still a little bean, she’d been good at the nurturing stuff. Once he’d gotten bigger, started thinking and exploring for himself, she didn’t know what to do. She struggled to understand his garbled baby talk and couldn’t keep up with his games. Her paternal instincts hibernated while Will’s thrived. It she had to put her finger on it, she’d guess it was his creativity and natural intelligence that did it for him. Where she was playing by the book, he was working the court, three moves ahead. It was hard not to feel inferior at times. It wasn’t that she resented him, quite the opposite, she greatly admired her brother. It just would have been nice to have a special bond like theirs.
~
          It didn’t take long until the sweat clinging to her hair and her fur urged her to join Xavier. The water was unbelievably nice. Cool, clear, sparkling. Freshness you couldn’t bottle. And, more importantly, a reprieve from the unbearable weather. Dragonflies zipped around, far too fast to be concerned with new comers. What more could she want? 
          They splashed around, enjoying the freedom of the quiet country around them. Most of the fish spooked the instant they’d arrived, noisy and laughing, fleeing the scene to hide in whatever cracks they could find. Some grew bold, creeping back as they gained courage. The longer Mary and Xavier stayed in the water, the closer they came. When Mary pointed them out, Xavier charged after the flickering silver, determined to catch one. She called him back almost immediately, trying to distract him with a frog. Too late. Scrambling wildly over a mossy rock, his paw slipped, sending him face first into the water with a loud splash. He pulled himself up, dripping and processing what had happened. Mary restrained herself from running over and scooping him up. Wait. Give him a chance. Does he need help of was he just surprised? For a long moment, only the water moved. Gently gliding past the pair as though they were nothing more than the environment it knew so well. Xavier stared at his palms, skinned and bleeding. Tears welled as he shouted for his sister.
          “Maarryyyyy!”
          She was there in an instant, easily pulling him into her arms and onto dry land. She settled him onto a log, pulling everything she needed out of her bag. Xavier was, to put it lightly, accident prone. She’d learned quickly to always be prepared. Just last week he fought a door. The door won.
          “Marryyy! My floaties didn’t save meeee!” He sobbed, devastated at their betrayal.
          “Here, let me see. Did you hurt yourself?”
          A tearful nod. “Mn hm.” He held his hands out, palms to the sky and fingers half curled like a dead spider.
          “That’s no good. Let me fix it up, ‘kay?” She towelled down the area, drying his skin so she could better see the extent of the injury. It wasn’t too bad. She gave him a reassuring smile. Sure, there’d probably be a good bruise tomorrow but the grazes themselves weren’t too severe. He’ll live. Popping the lid off her first aid kid, she cleaned the site. Years of fiddling with a sewing needle had given her a surgeon’s steady hand, despite her clumsy paws. She just needed to be in the right mindset to do precision work – not thinking about it.
          Xavier whimpered as the antiseptic got to work. “It hurts, Mary.”
          “Yeah, I know. I’m sorry. It’s going to hurt a little. There are tiny little, uh, knights, in the cream that have to go and, beat up any baddies that might have gotten into the cut.”
          He was still crying, but intrigued enough to ask. “Really? There are knights in there?”
          “Yep. You can’t see them because they are very, very, tiny, but they’re there.” Mary finished her work, sticking on water proof bandaids. “Do you want the magic healing spell?”
          “Mn hm.”
          “Ok.” She kissed his palms. “One kiss, two kisses,” then his forehead “and a big kissaroo so my love can heal you!” She threw her hands in the air to finish the incantation.
          Xavier mimicked her, sniffle giggling, before wrapping his arms around her in a bear hug. He looked up at her, his chin pressing into her shirt. “How come you smell all sweet Mary?”
          “Hm. It’s probably my lip balm. I put it on earlier.”
          “Can I have some?”
          “Yeah, here you go.”
          He took the tube, concentrating to not overwind it. When he was satisfied that his lips were appropriately caked, he planted a noisy smooch on Mary’s cheek. “Now you have a kiss too! Aw, you can’t see it though. There’s no colour. Can you smell it Mary?”
          She could certainly feel the waxy balm smeared across her skin. Well, the peach one was her favourite, so it wasn’t too bad. “Sure can! I reckon Mumsie can probably smell it from all the way in the bakery, there’s so much on us!”
          That satisfied him. The freckles across his face crinkled into new constellations as he grinned up at her.  “Hey Mary?”
          “Yeah?”
          “Mary, do you know?”
          “I don’t know.”
          He was whispering again. “Mary, do you know, Will is my favouritest brother?”
          “Really?”
          “Mn hm. But Mary, do you know? Mary, you’re my favouritest big sister. ‘Cause I love Mary lots and lots. Do you love me too Mary?”
          She kissed his forehead again. “Lots and lots.”

Tumblr media
A/N: THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE ZUHOES OUT THERE~ Just so y’all know, writing this chapter made me lose it a few times bc daddy zuho is one of my kinks so afjdksjslfk IT’S ALSO LONGER THAN I PLANNED IT TO BE ORZ anyway, please give it a like or reblog if you’ve read!! I find that the members after youngbin aren’t getting as much attention ;____; and as always, ENJOY >:))
Word count: 4472
Pairing: girl reader x zuho
Warnings: MAJOR DADDY!ZUHO, swearing, hair-pulling, scratching (yes pls)
Prologue / Part 1 (Youngbin) / Part 2 (Inseong) / Part 3 (Jaeyoon) / Part 4 (Dawon) / Part 5 (Zuho) / Part 6 (Rowoon) / Part 7 (Taeyang) / Part 8 (Hwiyoung) / Epilogue
[ jiyoon ] : omg this is so intriguing…
[ _____ ] : And I thought I was nasty smh
[ jiyoon ] : EXACTLY
[ jiyoon ] : You are nasty
[ jiyoon ] : You can guess what the boys’ kinks are
[ _____ ] : I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY I HATE YOU BUT I DO
[ jiyoon ] : YOU LOVE ME~
[ jiyoon ] : Anyways…NEXT!!
[ _____ ] : Ugggghhh…
[ _____ ] : Okay so for Juho…his ones are pretty easy HAHA
[ jiyoon ] : I am intrigued
Juho swallowed a gulp. He always saw you as cute with a bright and sassy personality, so it surprised him to see you discussing such scandalous things with your friend. Even so, Juho knew that you were a young adult, so of course it would be normal for you to talk about these sorts of topics every now and then.
[ _____ ] : First thing’s first
[ _____ ] : Even though he’s really soft
[ _____ ] : EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM SCREAMS DADDY!!!!!!!!!
[ jiyoon ] : AAAAAAAH
[ _____ ] : HE HAS THE ULTIMATE DADDY KINK IN THE GROUP!!!!
“Oh god, why?” the male in question whined, resulting in an eruption of laughter from the rest of the boys.
“SHE GOT HIM!!” Taeyang yelled upon seeing Juho’s inability to respond to their teasing. “He likes being called daddy!!”
Juho only jabbed his elbow to Taeyang’s arm. “Why are you such a creep? Wait ’til we get to your—“
“Daddy, please punish me~” Jaeyoon teased, imitating your voice. Juho’s cheeks flushed slightly red as he buried his face in his hands.
“It’s because you look at the fans like you wanna seduce them,” Hwiyoung said, rolling his eyes.
“And because of your voice,” Taeyang added and nudged Juho’s side, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Girls love guys with deep voices ‘cause apparently it brings them to their knees.”
Juho’s ears turned a light shade of red at the younger boy’s inference. “W-wait a second, I don’t think she’ll—“
“You seem to know a lot about these kinds of things, Tae,” Rowoon said with a raised eyebrow.
Taeyang only rolled his eyes. “It’s common sense, isn't it? Everyone knows that.”
While the boys were discussing why you would see Juho in such a way, he was having a hard time processing the teasing.
“KEEP READING!!” Dawon exclaimed, “She’ll be finished in ten minutes, maybe!”
[ _____ ] : Not only that, HE’S PROBABLY FREAKY AF
[ _____ ] : I can see him being really into scratching, hair pulling, a bit of choking, and the girl being loud and really submissive
[ jiyoon ] : Oh my goddddd he does sound freaky…I need that in my life
[ _____ ] : STAY AWAY FROM HIM YA NASTY OMG
[ _____ ] : He’s too soft 80% of the time lol…
Juho immediately widened his eyes in shock. “H-hang on—“
“WAIT, WHAT?!” Dawon yelled upon reading the message. “I thought Inseong’s bondage and ice kink was kinky…”
“Juho, you are the freakiest out of all of us, don’t deny it,” Rowoon said with a hint of amusement in his tone.
“Hey, we gotta read everything before deciding anything,” Youngbin suggested, “But for now, though…Juho?”
The male in question only continued to rest his chin in his hands, unwilling to face the others.
“…are you really as freaky as she thinks you are?”
_________
The sound of sirens coming from Dawon’s phone pierced through your ears. Your best friend stirred from behind you while you whined and pulled the blanket over your face in attempt to block out the noise. Dawon reached over you to turn off the alarm, before slumping back and pulling you close to him by your waist. He then buried his face in your hair, and sandwiched you between his legs. The movement caused a sharp pain between your legs, adding to the throbbing that was already prevalent, causing a yelp to escape your lips.
What a night. You’ve just slept with another member, and it was your best friend. What happened to have you sleeping with the one of boys every night all of a sudden? Something seemed off.
“Hyukie, you have to get up,” you mumbled sleepily.
“Ugh…I don’t want to.”
“You have schedules…you don’t wanna get in trouble.”
“I’ll only get out if you come with me.”
“To where?”
“The photoshoot, of course.”
You blinked. “What? You’ll be fine. Why would you need me to come?”
“It just makes the day easier,” Dawon answered lazily. “Pleeeeeease?”
You only let out an elongated groan. “But I wanna sleep!”
“You’re always sleeping! Fine. If you don’t wanna come, I won’t shout you lunch,” Dawon compromised as he sat up.
At that moment, you found yourself already missing his warmth and touch. You didn’t feel this way since the night before he officially left to become a trainee. But now you know he won’t leave you again, so it was quite strange for you to feel that way again. Was it because you two had sex for the first time after being so close for so long?
You grabbed Dawon’s shirt, giving in. “Fine, I’ll come. But you owe me for making me wake up this early on my summer break.”
“Thanks, babe.”
“Don’t call me that.”
After getting up, washing up, and changing, you realised you still had those hickeys on your neck left by Youngbin and Inseong as you were applying your makeup. You couldn’t go to an official schedule with them showing, otherwise the managers would get suspicious.
“Shit…” you hissed. You frantically rummaged through your makeup case in search for your concealer. When you found it, you applied it thoroughly on the purple marks before covering the areas with foundation.
“______, you ready?” you heard Dawon say outside his room’s door a few minutes later as you were applying your lip tint.
“Yep, coming!”
You quickly grabbed your bag, and rushed to the front door to see Dawon waiting.
“C’mon, we’re gonna be late,” he said as you got out. The two of you then speed-walked to the elevator, and making your way outside the building to where two black vans were waiting. Dawon dragged you to the one with the open door, and practically shoved you inside.
“Woah, ______-noona is joining us today?” Hwiyoung asked in pleasant surprise as you sat on the seat in front of Juho.
“Yeah, ‘cause Hyuk wouldn’t stop whining,” you replied with a roll to your eyes as Dawon got inside and closed the door.
“I wasn’t whining!” Dawon argued.
“You had to bargain for me to get out of bed!”
“That sure sounds like him,” Taeyang snickered.
Dawon glared back at the younger boy. “At least I don’t flirt to get things my way.”
“At least I don’t lose money by flirting—“
“So what made you bring her here?” Juho asked before an argument could start.
Dawon shrugged. “Can’t I bring my best friend around? Besides, she’s probably bored to death being at home by herself.”
You blew on your fringe. “Yeah, it does get boring. But I don’t wanna distract you guys.”
“If anything, we’re the ones distracting you,” Taeyang replied with a small smirk.
You turned your head around to glare at him. “What do you mean?!”
“We are pretty noisy,” Hwiyoung answered, “And you can’t do your assignments with us around.”
“Mostly Hyuk, though.” Juho added with a slightly smug look on his face.
Dawon turned around to glare at the younger male. “Oi, you take that back!”
The rest of the car trip was filled with their usual bickering and roasting of each other, so you decided to keep yourself occupied with your phone. Little did you know that Juho took glimpses of your neck every now and then, observing the patches of concealer and foundation that seemed to be layered a bit more on your skin. He knew you tried to cover the hickeys left by the members, as he could also see hints of purple around the edges. He didn’t know why, but seeing you try to conceal love bites in order to go out in public turned him on.
When the vans arrived at the photo studio, Dawon stepped out first, holding his hand out to assist you.
“I’m fine, Hyukie,” you said as you were getting out. “I’m not a damsel in distress.”
“I know you’re not, but you can barely walk right now.”
You widened your eyes, glaring at him as if to say ‘don’t fucking say that in front of everyone, or I’ll kill you!!’
Your best friend had noticed, but he only smirked and placed his arm around your shoulder as he walked in with you.
As soon as everyone arrived in the studio, the boys were rushed into the dressing rooms to get their hair, makeup, and outfits done. You awkwardly sat outside in the reception so you wouldn’t distract the stylists or boys, and so you could avoid having hairspray filling your lungs.
While you were on your phone, you heard a pair of footsteps coming towards to you. You looked up to see Juho walking towards you as he was doing up the the middle button on his loose white dress shirt.
You couldn’t help but blink in slight shock. His hair was slicked back, showing his undercut, and allowing you to see his sharp cheekbones, while his ripped black skinny jeans, and loose white dress shirt that was tucked in only at the front emphasised his broad shoulders and toned body. He looked absolutely mouth-watering to the point where you felt your knees shaking even if you were seated. Sure, you had seen them styled like this before, but there was something with Juho today that gave him a dark, alluring aura. The man in question was not oblivious to your reaction, so he smirked quietly.
“J-Juho? What’s up?”
“The photographer needs help setting up the lights and stuff,” Juho replied nonchalantly, “Apparently the assistant is sick today, so I told him maybe you could help since you tagged along.”
“Oh, sure…”
You gulped, feeling your cheeks turn warm as you stood up. You rushed past Juho without looking at him to hide your blush, speed-walking past the change rooms, and onto the set. After greeting the photographer, you put your bag next to the table with the computer for editing. You then immediately got to work on setting up the lights, asking every now and then if the lights were in the correct position or whatnot.
After 20 more minutes of setting up, you finally got everything in position that the photographer was satisfied with.
“Great. Can you see if the group is ready?” he requested.
“Yes, sure.”
I really should get paid for this…you thought tiredly as you walked off the set and to the dressing room. When you reached it, you knocked on the door for it to be opened by Rowoon, fully styled and looking like a god.
“Oh, hey ______!”
You blinked in surprise as your cheeks turned slightly pink. “A-are you guys done? The photographer is waiting.”
Rowoon looked behind him before facing you again. “I think Juho is done, I’ll go and see.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Soon enough, the door opened to reveal Juho. You gulped once more as he walked out, and closed the door behind him.
“Alright, let’s go,” you said shyly before leading the way to the set.
Juho followed closely behind you such that you could smell the hairspray and cologne. You chewed on your lower lip from how seductive he smelt.
No, not now…you’re supposed to remain professional…you thought to yourself.
The two of you made it to the set room, where Juho greeted the photographer and went over and stood at the set, while you stood beside the desk with the computer for editing.
Throughout the whole shoot, you were completely stunned at how attractive Juho really was when he was in idol mode. His intense and sharp gazes at the camera were not like any other member. There was something that just made you want to scream ‘daddy’ out loud to him; something that made you want to drop to your knees and let him do whatever he wanted with you.
You couldn’t help but notice that he shot gazes at you every now and then. Every time, you felt like he undressed one item of clothing from you with his eyes. You chewed onto your lower lip, averting your vision at other places to avoid more eye contact with Juho. What was he trying to do to you?
_______
“Kill me now,” you grumbled to yourself as you collapsed onto the couch.
Since the photoshoot had finished, the boys headed to the dance studio to practice while you went back to the apartment. You were basically the replacement for the photographer’s absent assistant, so you worked the whole time while they were shooting.
While you were lying down on the couch, you couldn’t get the images of Juho’s stares at you out of your mind. Sure, the rest of the members also looked handsome, but their expressions were more soft compared to Juho’s fierce, intense gazes. You remembered how weak your knees felt when he  looked at you as if you were his first proper meal after dieting.
“No…he couldn’t be,” you muttered. He doesn’t see you in that way, idiot! You’re just overthinking everything…you mentally yelled at yourself, shaking the thoughts away. You didn’t know if you were seeing things or if you were just horny because you slept with four members already.
After a few more minutes of resting on the couch, you got up to change and take off your makeup. You decided to leave the makeup on your neck to take it off before going to sleep so the hickeys wouldn’t be visible to the boys (as if they didn’t notice them before, anyway).
You had decided to make dinner tonight, since they always had takeout, so you headed out to the kitchen to salvage whatever they had left in the fridge and pantry to make kimchi stew. You also knew how much the boys loved your cooking, so you wanted to surprise them.
After an hour or so of painstakingly preparing all the ingredients, you began to throw them into the pot to cook them first before pouring the hot water in from the kettle. While you were waiting for the whole thing to boil before seasoning it, you suddenly felt a presence behind you. Before you could turn around, you felt a pair of toned arms slide around your waist, and pull you in so your back was to his chest.
You gasped at the sudden skinship, so you immediately assumed that it was your best friend. “Hyukie? Are you done with practice already?”
The man behind you chuckled softly, moving his lips to your ear. “He’s not done, but I am.”
You froze immediately.
That voice. That fucking voice. That fucking voice deeper than the Mariner’s Trench. If only it didn’t affect you so much so you wouldn’t want to succumb to whatever he wanted.
You felt his warm breath ghost from your ear, and trailing down to your neck. You found your knees growing weak as you felt his already-hard crotch pressed up against your behind. “J-Juho?”
“Why are you covering the hickeys? Even at home?” he questioned before planting soft kisses beginning from the corner of your jaw, and down to your neck.  
Your breath hitched as he found the sensitive spot just below your ear. “I-I didn’t think you would notice…”
“I can see them very clearly, baby girl…”
Your thighs clamped together, that spark of desire inside you igniting once more. It seemed like the guys knew how to turn you on like a light switch with just one word.
Juho continued to bite and suck on that area on your neck, eliciting a whiny moan to come from your lips.
“Juho…please…” you sighed, leaning into him. You then felt him grind his clothed hardened shaft against your ass, causing you to begin to feel a warm wetness coating your lower lips.
“Call me daddy, baby…” he said deeply, sending shivers down your body.
You gulped, sliding your hands across his arms around your waist. “Daddy…”
“That’s a good girl,” he praised softly in your ear.
You bit your lower lip; you never knew Juho treating you this way would turn you on so much. You reached to the stove to turn it off as one of Juho’s hands made its way underneath your shirt, and up your chest to cup one of your breasts. He squeezed his hand on it, massaging it a few times, making you let out a needy mewl. Juho then slid his other hand down your body to palm and massage your core, stimulating your nerves.
“D-daddy, please!” you moaned, grinding your core against his hand. You could feel yourself growing wetter as the tips of his fingers teased your entrance through the thin material of the shorts.
Juho smirked against the skin of your neck. “My little baby girl is so needy…and so wet…”
You whimpered at his degrading words, but you didn’t care. You just wanted him to make you cum regardless of method.
“Daddy, p-please,” you begged, grinding your hips more against his hand that was still teasing your entrance and clit.
“Nuh-uh,” he rejected, “You must wait first, then daddy will give you what you want. Can you be patient for me?”
You felt goosebumps form on your neck; it seemed like his voice could make you submit to every command. You only let out a mix of a whine and moan as he continued to torture you slowly. Juho then moved the hand that was groping your breast to slide up your chest and wrap around your neck. His fingers gently squeezed the sides to slightly reduce the airflow, but making sure you could still breathe.
You then felt one finger suddenly slip inside your slick cavern, causing a high-pitched mewl to escape your lips. “D-daddy!”
Juho curled his finger in a come-hither motion before dragging it out slowly. Your knees buckled in, making you almost lose balance, but Juho still managed to hold you up.
“Such a good girl,” he praised in your ear. He then slipped in another finger, and began thrusting them in and out of you to extract more of your wetness that was now dripping down his fingers and to your thighs.
“Please…please…!” you moaned, tightening your grip onto his arms. You could barely stand, but you did everything you could to not completely collapse to bring him down with you. “I c-can’t take it anymore—!”
Without warning, Juho began to massage your sensitive clit with his thumb, causing you to scream as a zap of electricity coursed through your arteries. You could barely breathe while he assaulted your core so skilfully, stimulating you to the maximum so you could feel nothing but raw pleasure. You then felt him give your clit one last hard pinch to finally push you over the edge. You felt your stomach clench as you unleashed throat-burning scream, releasing everything you had onto Juho’s hand like a waterfall. Juho left his hand in that position for another moment before removing it and letting you go. Your knees finally gave way as you collapsed on all fours onto the floor, heavily breathing.
Juho slid his tongue across his fingers to taste what you gave him. “My little girl tastes sweeter than I imagined,” you heard him say, “But I wonder what you actually feel like.”
Before you knew it, Juho lifted you up, causing you to let out a yelp, and pushed your body forward onto the counter with your cheek resting on the cold surface. He pulled out a condom packet from his pocket, ripped it open with his teeth, and threw the packet onto the counter. Your eyes widened when you saw the foil, so you assumed that he wanted to cum inside you.
After slipping the condom on, Juho pulled your shorts and underwear down, letting them fall down your legs, to which you kicked them off and to the side. You then felt him slide the tip of his length up and down your overly wet slit, eliciting a soft moan from your throat.
“Daddy…” you sighed as Juho took your wrists, and held them behind your back.
“Is my baby girl ready for me?” he asked, placing the tip at your slick, dripping entrance.
You nodded, closing your eyes. “Yes, daddy…please…”
At that moment, you felt Juho slide into you from behind, causing you to let out soft, elongated gasp at how well he stretched you out. He then began thrusting immediately without letting you adjust to his size, which you didn’t have to because you were already so wet and turned on. Your moans grew louder as he thrusted harder and faster into you.
“Fuck, baby girl, you feel so good wrapped around me,” Juho groaned. “So tight…so wet…”
You wished you could hold onto something for support, but Juho’s grip on your wrists was too strong for you to move them anywhere. You could only let out moans and whimpers as he continued to slam into you from behind, your slick walls pulsing and swallowing his hard length too easily. Your head began to feel cloudy and slightly dizzy as each thrust Juho gave you felt like a new shot of ecstasy through your veins. Soon enough, your stomach began to tighten as you felt your climax slowly building up.
“J-Juho…” you managed to whimper amongst the moaning.
He slammed into you once more before stopping suddenly. “What did I tell you to call me?”
Your eyes widened. Fuck! “D-daddy…I’m sorr—“
Juho grabbed a fistful of your hair, with one hand, and holding your wrists together with the other. He pulled your head back, eliciting a surprised scream from you. “I was wrong,” he said darkly, “You’re not obedient after all. Should I even let you cum at this point?”
“I’m so sorry, daddy,” you begged desperately, the stinging pain on your scalp making it hard for you to think to form proper sentences. “Please…please let me cum; I won’t do it again, I’m so sorry!”
A smirk curled on Juho’s lips. “I know you won’t do it again,” he said, leaning into your ear. “And I’ll make sure of that.”
Before you could respond, Juho leaned back up and began to thrust hard and fast into you again, making your hips hit the edge of the counter. You screamed the sudden pace he was tearing you up with. Moans, screams, pants, and grunts came from the both of you, while the lewd noises of skin hitting against skin, and sticky sounds of Juho’s cock ramming into you as your essence was leaking out of your hole, and dripping down your thighs filled the kitchen all at once.
In the midst of the thrusting and screaming, you felt your climax building up faster than before. Your stomach muscles began tightening, and your walls were clamping on Juho more regularly. Before you could even have a taste of becoming undone, Juho pulled out of you. Before you could cry out at the loss of pleasure, he flipped you around so you lay on your back. He then entered you once more, wrapping your legs around his waist so he could thrust deeper into you.
“God, you look so beautiful like this,” Juho groaned, loving how you wreathed and moaned beneath him, and how absolutely disheveled you looked. He then leaned down to your neck, and latched his lips onto the spot just behind your ear. You took the opportunity to hold onto Juho’s shoulder blades while he was biting, licking, and sucking at your skin to leave another dark red mark, all while thrusting deeply and quickly into you. Your moans filled his ears, driving him to thrust even harder. His powerful thrusts made you scream and dig your nails into his skin through his shirt, dragging them down his back. Even though his shirt was cushioning the impact of your nails, Juho also groaned as he could still feel the stinging sensation of your nails on his back combined with your walls clamping tightly onto his cock.
Soon enough, your climax began building up again, and you knew this was going to be your biggest one yet.
“D-daddy, I’m about to—“
“Hold on, baby girl, I’m almost there too,” Juho grunted. He then reached one hand down to your swollen, sensitive clit, giving it a hard massage with his thumb as he gave you one more hard thrust. You arched your back as you let out an earth-shattering scream, your climax hitting you like a wrecking ball. Black and white spots filled your vision as you exploded onto Juho’s cock. He held your hips to support himself as he stayed still inside you to spill his load. You felt a warm liquid coat the walls of the condom indicating that the both of you now had finally had your sweet release.
Juho softly collapsed on top of you as the both of you were heavily panting and sweating from what was probably the roughest sex you’ve ever had. You reached behind Juho’s head to lightly stroke his blue hair.
“Holy fuck…” you whispered, still in disbelief that Juho could fuck you so hard.
The man on top of you only laughed lightly. “So…daddy, huh?”
Returning back to your normal self, you flicked the back of his head, causing him to yelp. “Do not fucking speak of this to anyone, or I’ll kick you.”
Juho heaved himself off your body with a grunt before pulling himself out of you. You arched your back lightly as you pressed your lips together to fight back another moan.
“Trust me, I won’t say anything,” he responded in slight amusement as he slid off the condom to throw it in the bin next to the counter. “I’ll never hear the end of it either.”
As Juho was putting his pants back on, you painfully pushed up your torso with your elbows. He then quickly came over to support your back with his hand to help you.
“Easy now, baby,” he said, pulling your upper body slowly towards him so your torso pressed against his. Once you were on your feet, Juho held onto you as he looked at the area where he fucked you. “Hah…looks like we made a bit of a mess here…”
You wrinkled your nose, also looking at the drops of cum that was dripping down the counter. “Ugh…more things I have to clean...”
Juho squeezed your shoulder assuringly. “You go wash up, and I’ll clean this, okay?”
You sighed. “Alright, but you have to help me make dinner for fucking me so hard.”
“I’m cool with that.”
