So whenever I lack inspiration I try redrawing an old piece. This is one I’ve wanted to redraw for awhile now. Honestly, even when I first posted it I wasn’t very satisfied with. I thought the characters felt too distant and the shading was practically nonexistent.😅I kinda rushed it the first time because I just wanted to finish. This time I tried putting more effort into the shading and posed the characters more intimately. I’m pretty happy with the result!✨💖🍙🐈💖✨

Summary:

"Come on, Parker, say something. But don't make it embarrassing," thinks Peter. "Those are your childhood heroes, and they want something from you. Just say hi like a normal person." "Good evening, Mr. Barton, Sir. Mr. Wilson, Sir." "How do you know our names," asks Clint, sounding genuinely curious. "You have a Wikipedia page!" blurts Peter out before wincing inwardly. There goes his plan for a non-embarrassing first impression. "You've read our Wikipedia pages?" asks Sam slowly, as if saying the words slowly would let them make more sense. "Twice, actually." ________________________________ Are the Avengers a Team? Yes. Are they on good terms? Not necessarily. Has the public caught up on that? Maybe a little. When Fury sends the team on the mission to investigate the identity of New York's favorite vigilante, they have to learn to work as a team and not damage their already battered image. Or, the story of how the Avengers have to earn the public's trust back with the help of a certain crime fighting Spider.

Chapter: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Summary:

Happy begrudgingly steps aside and walks after Tony into the diner. The billionaire skillfully ignores the gasps of surprise and the poor attempt to take pictures of him secretly as he strides straight up to the counter. "Two cheeseburgers and a large fry. To go." "Please get in line and wait for your turn, Sir." "Excuse me?" Tony slowly pulls his sunglasses down and glances at the skinny teen behind the register. "Bad hearing comes with age, huh?" mutters the teen under his breath. Happy makes a choking sound behind him. ___________________ Or, how Tony Stark gets sassed by some high schooler working part-time and makes it his mission to figure out what he did to make this kid he'd never seen hate him. If that means annoying the hell out of said high schooler, that's not his problem.

Oikawa fic, and it's Oikawa having a rivalry with reader, who is the captain of the basketball team. They end up needing to kind of share the same sports court since the volleyball one is going through maintenance, so they have to agree on schedules to use it

Oikawa and reader don't hit it off at first, but they end up needing to be stuck with each other to make reports about the court usage to the school's council

Oikawa starts to crack a bit and buys reader a soda, then they start to get warmer to each other, and it's that sweet hand holding while they still can't admit their feelings for each other

Rival Captain

tooru oikawa x male reader

summary: the basketball team shares their court with the volleyball team while their court is in maintenance.

genre: fluff

requested by anon

word count: 1k

A/N: this request was a pain, i wrote it wrong the first time

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

I groan, gripping my hair and turning to our teams’ co captain.

“They can’t go to a sports center or anything?”

He shakes his head, glancing around.

“It’s a big court, Y/n. It won’t be too bad sharing. Besides, we could make friends!”

I scowl at him.

“This isn’t a kids show, Soma. We aren’t making any friends.”

He sighs.

“Would it hurt you to loosen up a little? If you go to university and you see any of those volleyball members, you’ll know someone!”

“I don’t care! They’re all so weird, I don’t want to see them in my court or anywhere else.”

“It’s not even your court, it’s the coaches. Shut up and deal with it, Y/n.”

Soma slapped the back of my head and I groaned. He can be annoying sometimes, but he always has reason on his mind.

I roll my eyes, playfully shoving him back.

“Fine. But if I see them on my court during our practices, I’ll blow a fuse.”

Soma rolled his eyes.

“You’re so dramatic.”

~~~

After classes that day, I had scheduled to meet with the volleyball team captain, Tooru Oikawa. I knew who he was, sure. He was some annoying lady’s man who was probably gay and was really good at volleyball. His best friend, Hajime Iwaizumi, was alright. We had some classes together in second year and we got along.

Oikawa is a whole different story, though. He has a fake nice aura about him, like he’s secretly some evil person. Walking to where we agreed to meet, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I appeared in front of the gardening club shed and leaned against the wall, waiting patiently for the volleyball captain. After a while, I checked my watch and scowled.

Seven minutes past when he agreed to show up. 

I gave him some more time, and just as I was about to leave, he came jogging over.

“Sorry for being late, some girls wanted to chat.”

He smiled, and I gave him a look of disdain.

“Don’t care, didn’t ask. You’re late.”

He blinks at me and crosses his arms defensively.

“Ladies first, man. I had to chat with them.”

“Why, so you can keep up your high school Q? Pathetic.”

He gave me an offended look and scowled at me.

“I’m sorry, okay? Can we plan this thing?”

I roll my eyes and nod, pulling out my phone.

“Do you guys do morning practices?”

“Yeah. Afternoon too. You?”

“Same.”

I grimace, writing some things in my notes app.

“Hmm.. what are your practice days?”

“Monday, Wednesday, Friday.”

“Yeah, that won’t work.”

He huffs, shifting his weight to one leg and placing his hand on his hip.

“And why not?”

“Those are our days too. We’ll have to split things up.”

He nods in understanding.

“Sure. One team takes Monday and Thursday and the other gets Tuesday and Friday?”

“That works.”

I tap at the keyboard on my phone, writing it down. 

“As for Wednesday, one team can take the court during the afternoon and the other during the morning.”

He hums in agreement.

“My team can take Tuesday and Friday, as well as afternoon practice on Wednesday.”

“It’s my court, Oikawa. Don’t get greedy.”

I eye the boy, before typing on my phone again. I was perfectly fine with my team going Monday and Thursday. He sighs.

“Then we can go M-“

“It’s fine. Now.”

I put my phone into my pocket and glare at Oikawa.

“If I see any volleyballs or any of your equipment on my court on any of our days, we’ll have problems. Got it?”

He rolls his eyes.

“Fine.”

~~~

Telling the school how the usage of the court was going was strange. I was used to doing it by myself, or occasionally with Soma. Doing it with Oikawa was weird.

“Nobody is doing drugs.”

I glare at Oikawa. That came out of nowhere.

“We clean up after ourselves after each practice. It’s just the basketball team and the volleyball team.”

The council nods.

“The teams are getting along?”

I shrug.

“Yeah. We don’t fight at all, but we don’t talk much.”

“The basketball team is very hospitable towards us. It’s quite nice.”

The council nods again, taking in our facial expressions and body language.

“Are the captains getting along?”

“For the most part.”

Oikawa smiled nervously and I roll my eyes.

“We don’t talk much. It’s normally nice banter.”

I could tell the council knew we weren’t being completely truthful, but they didn’t seem to care.

Leaving the room, Oikawa sighed. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye and rolled my eyes.

“You would say we weren’t doing drugs why?”

“It’s a genuine response!”

He clicks his tongue.

“It’s dumb to say, they’ll think the opposite.”

“They know me, L/n. They know I make jokes.”

He shrugs, walking to a vending machine. I have half the mind to stay with him and half the mind to walk away.

I walk away.

“Hey, L/n, wait up!”

Oikawa walks over, handing me a soda while holding one for himself. I raise an eyebrow at him and he looks away.

“Just enjoy it. You were here and I didn’t want to be rude.”

I sigh, cracking open the can and taking a swig. Strangely, he knew one of my favorites. I looked at him curiously, and he was sipping at the same kind. Maybe he just liked the flavor.

“What are you doing after this?”

“Going home and then something’ll happen. Why?”

“It’s just something to talk about.”

He shrugs.

“How’s the team doing?”

“We’re alright. Kyotani gets out down by Iwa-chan whenever he tries to start something. Or by Yahaba, he listens to him too, strangely.”

I think back to the volleyball club members. Iwaizumi, the ace and co captain. Kyotani is a second year with anger issues Oikawa likes to call Mad Dog. Yahaba was a second year who didn’t contribute much but was a good player nonetheless.

“You could try practicing with us, if you wanted.”

“I don’t play volleyball.”

He scoffs.

“So? You could just join us. Doesn’t matter if you’re any good.”

“Why do you want me there so bad?”

His face turns red and he looks at the floor.

“Forget it.”

He walks away, presumably to try e basketball court. I shrug, watching his back.

~~~

A few days after that, Oikawa and I got stuck in the rain. He had come to watch basketball practice, saying the sport could be interesting to learn about, and then stayed behind to help Soma and I clean up.

Soma left, since he had an umbrella, but here I was with Oikawa. The chocolate haired boy grabbed an umbrella from his bag and opened it up.

“Walk with me?”

I sighed, taking it from him and walking with him to my home. It was kind of peaceful. The rain sounds above and around us, the smell.

He would occasionally look at me but wouldn’t say anything. He’s very strange. 

Sometimes he would step in a puddle and curse, but then would quiet down and we would be silent again.

We got to my house, and he said a silent goodbye before leaving. Normally he would chat with me, tell me some things, but he’s been awfully quiet today.

~~~

Oikawa would shy away whenever he saw me. Weird, since we still report to the council and I have to unlock the gun every morning the volleyball team practices.

Once, I tried striking up a conversation with him and he walked away like I hadn’t said a thing.

Today, I entered the gym and found him cleaning up after their afternoon practice with Iwaizumi.

I walked over to the volleyball captain.

“Hey, Oikawa. What’s up?”

He looked at me, but didn’t say anything. I sighed.

“What’s up with you, man? You seem to dislike me even more.”

He shakes his head.

“Never disliked you.”

“Then what’s up? Tell me.”

“After I finish cleaning.”

I roll my eyes but agree, going outside the gym and leaning against the wall. Iwaizumi leaves first, saying bye to me and going on his way.

I zero in on Oikawa when he steps out, and he groans.

“I’ll get right to it, okay?”

I nod, staring blankly into his eyes.

“I’ve got a crush on you.”

I furrow my brows. Not what I was expecting.

“No way.”

“Yes way! And, that time I got you a soda, i thought I could ask you out then, but you were being weird, like you didn’t like me at all, so I chickened out!”

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.

“Ignoring someone isn’t the way to go. Should have told me, Tooru.”

He looks at his feet, and I rolled my eyes.

“I guess I can give you a chance.”

He looked up, his eyes full of hope.

“Really?”

“Yeah…”

~~~

Dating Oikawa was quite interesting. He was sweet to you, very nice. Always offered to pay for your things and opened doors for you, although he acted like a princess. 

You could feel yourself falling for him, having the urge to pamper him and kiss his cheeks. Maybe he wasn’t ready for that.

You cleared your throat, handing Oikawa a bento box. He swooned at you, thanking you and taking your hand as he put it safely into his locker.

He walked you to your class before leaving to go to his.

You sighed as you watched him walk away. What a sweetheart.

[eternal-echoes]

So I finally gotten around to watching the Rurouni Kenshin reboot.

Some thoughts:

-The animation is honestly way better

-I like Soma Saito as Kenshin a lot more than Mayo Suzukaze. I think he was the perfect choice. There's gentleness in his voice but he can easily slip right into menacing and threatening.

-I also like the voice actors for Okita Soji and Hajime Saito.

-I was expecting Okita and Battousai to fight just like they did in Tsuioku-hen OVA and the live-action movie. But they didn't. He didn't even cough so Saito's concern might seem out of place for people watching this for the first time. (I feel like there's an assumption that the main audience watching this have already seen the first anime series and finished the manga already).

-I like how Kaoru and Kenshin met for the first time better in the old anime than in this new man. I felt it was more dramatic since he actually fell on the roof. Though I do like that they changed the time of the day to nighttime rather than dawn.

-I like how Kenshin saved Kaoru in the first anime better than in this one. There's more urgency and suspense this time around but I like the inverted colors of the old anime.

- I remember back then thinking how if Kaoru is a Kamiya Kasshin master, she would know not to carelessly hold a sword like this:

So I'm glad they didn't add that this time.

-I remember reading the manga for the first time after seeing the old anime and I thought I liked how the anime adaptation changed the storyline more. Now re-visiting that story again in this anime I think they're pretty equal. I think it highlights Kaoru being optimistic about people not caring about their pasts and how that helped Kenshin heal from his past. I think in the old anime it just seem like Kaoru only didn't care about Kenshin's past specifically (since he saved her life), not just in general. This time it's showing that her optimism is a particular character trait.

-the old anime also omitted how Kaoru picked up some clues where the fake Battousai is coming from since they changed the storyline. Although in the old anime she did figure out that Gohei was a former student of her father. But I think the old anime kinda made Kaoru a bit dumber and helpless than she really is.

-the animated fighting scenes are amazing. It feels like a nice 3-D ride.

-maybe this is more of a translation thing so I can't blame the animators for this but I like Kenshin's dialogue about swordsmanship more in the old anime and English dub anime (specifically the one by Bang Zoom! Entertainment)

-I like the openings songs more from the first anime than this one. When I first heard it from the trailers, I was like, "NO!!! It doesn't fit!"

And this is a lot of spoilers for first time fans:

-but in terms of the soundtrack/background music (idk what they're called specifically), I like this one, too. But a lot of the ones from the old anime still resonate with me.

-Kenshin seems more menacing this time around. And I think that really highlights how he still has a manslayer inside him.

-Also, Kenshin seems a little bit flippant to Kaoru here

I get that she was kinda being rude to him by saying he's just a wanderer, but the way he just walked away when she was baring her emotions was kinda off-putting to me. Maybe I'm the only one interpreting it this way

-Kenshin in the rain!!!

(I guess I'm fond of this because he met Tomoe in the rain)

-Yahiko's hair is a bit weird

Maybe I'm just a bit biased because I watched the old anime multiple times so that's still within me so maybe some of the changes they made would take a while to get use to, as oppose to someone watching it for the first time might have a different experience. I was a bit reluctant rewatching something I already know the story of but I'm excited after the first episode. Looking forward to the next.

So recently I finally read the sequel series Fruits Basket Another. First off, DEFINITELY READ IT, I highly recommend it!👍 I was worried if I’d be invested in the story without the curse but the writing is still top knotch! It’s more of character study than the first and focuses on the “curses” that all families have to deal with.

Anyway, when I read this scene I knew I had to reblog it with my original post. For context, the boy is the oldest of Kyo and Tohru’s three children, Hajime, and he’s talking to the new series FL Sawa about family.

GRANDPA KAZUMA FOR THE WIN!!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Due to the trailer for Fruits Basket: Prelude I have Fruits Basket on the brain, and now I feel like ranting a little. Okay, so I know the show runners couldn’t adapt everything due to budget reasons, and I do think the end result they gave us was great, but I’m so sad we didn’t get to see this scene animated!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭(for context, this is after the curse broke and Kazuma was told Kyo and Tohru were dating).

@more-than-a-princess is there a muse that you wish gets more attention? what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting? can you sort your muses from youngest to oldest?

1. is there a muse that you wish gets more attention? Let me see... Besides the Code:Realize ones? I feel I could use my OCs more, or Gray. They are all good beans that deserve more love. Gray is an interesting although her mindscape can be a little unusual to get to – still, leagues and bounds easier than Angra (that one when it isn’t for memes can be harsh on my mental health if done properly). Hilda is an interesting muse to work with, although I feel her voice is still uncertain at some spots. She is barely mentioned in canon and is defined as “Luvia’s softer twin sister” but even so I believe she should have a strong personality, to be assertive and exuberant in her own right – perhaps I should think in FGO terms and give her a pseudo-servant status like her sister and see if I can get an inspiration from some deity? I don’t know yet. Kuzunoha is also other rather elusive muse: a divine kitsune, a “benevolent trickster”. She was saved from a hunter by a onmyouji (monk) and, as a human, was by his side and tended his wounds, eventually getting married, having a son together but leaving once the husband found out her secret. Their son eventually grew up to become Abe-no-Seimei, Japan’s most famous onmyouji and mystic, who protect people from evil spirits and other mystics. Remember that mystic rock that broke out of nowhere last year? It is the stone that it is said that Seimei sealed an evil youkai within. tl;dr: elegant kitsune who likes to see people striving but still has a playful bit in her.

12. what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting? I think the one thing people should know about my muses is that most of them have a modern verse (as I rambled here) and I’m also always open to make crossovers/AUs/verses to accommodate my rp partners. Hell, I even had a Star Wars verse with the Big Bad Wolf with a friend for shits and giggles and it was so much fun. I also usually hold back some of my muses when I don't know much about my rp partner. For example, you'll never see Angra being inappropriate and doing innuendo jokes without permission, or Archer sassing people without consent. Same goes for ships: even if there is a ship in canon, I won't assume there is one between our muses unless we talk about it. I'm all about 'em healthy communication and relationships out of character.

15. can you sort your muses from youngest to oldest? Technically speaking, my youngest would be Sieg, he is a homunculus so when he jokes “I was born yesterday” it isn’t too far-fetched. Special situations aside, the youngest would be Gray, followed by Soma Cruz (Castlevania) and then Komaru Naegi. Then comes Amami, Kirigiri, Aiguille, Shirou, Hajime, Narukami and Nero. And when it comes to oldest it also have the special cases like Dracula and Valvatorez, who are vampires, Kuzunoha that is an immortal youkai, but the oldest among these, I kid you not, is Angra. Muramasa died as an old man and was brought with the mentality of the time he died, so mentally speaking he is the oldest. Saber Emiya also died as an old man, but not as much as Muramasa and his mentality is younger. Proto Arthur’s aging was stilted thanks to Excalibur so he is also another one with ambiguous age along with Archer.   Now, to the more “reasonable” ones: the oldest is Romani Archaman (FGO) who is mentioned to be mid-30s in the game, followed by Kiritsugu (who died at 34) and Waver, who is 29.  Then comes Van Helsing and Rufus in their mid-20s.

Our Boxed Garden | Miyazaki | Trial 6.6 | Re: Loic, Mikazuki, Hanji, Maxime

Still he breathes still he moves as the devil breathes down his back yet again. Those claws wrapping around his shoulder and neck. Whispering in his ear the things that need to be said. Miyazaki could never silence the devil. It was too loud…though actually…Miyazaki was the devil the whole time wasn’t he? The one whispering in his ear has always been divinity.

He tilts his head in Loic’s direction with that same small smile thrown at him with an empty chuckle.

“Ahaha…you’ll understand one day I think.”

He lets himself turn back into the puppet sheep and stands straight as he prepares himself for the rest.

“Mmm…I think you’re mistaken, Mr. Knight. Or…do you want me to call you Mr. Archambeault? I just don’t want to get you and your brother mixed up. Either way, you are mistaken in the relationship that Hajime and The Shepherd have. They are far from actual lovers.”

He runs his finger over Diabelle’s ear, circling it lightly with his fingertip.

“You see…Hajime was always a very…troubled person. He had AEDS before I met him and I wanted to help him but…I wasn’t able. I wasn’t equipped or mature enough to really know how to help…and we couldn’t go to anyone or they would’ve taken him away. The Shepherd came along and behind my back…manipulated that troubled nature of Hajime’s. They taught him to embrace the suffering that love always brought him…And Hajime tried to deliver that onto me. I…didn’t accept it…and in seeking love he turned to The Shepherd…You see…Hajime…his mind is shattered and beyond saving. After what The Shepherd did to him, he lives forever in the delusion of The Shepherd’s love…He will…never be Hajime ever again…and The Shepherd will never actually love him…But as long as they keep Hajime on a chain…he’ll do whatever The Shepherd wants…anything to try and prove his delusional love to them. And hope…for something that will never happen.”

Miyazaki…there is a hint…of something in his expression that didn’t feel like a doll reciting lines. A glimmer in his eye that was quickly extinguished with a blink. The last question…he turns from Loic to Mikazuki.

“And what if I do give you a straight answer, Soma-san? Would it change anything? Regardless of whether my reactions to Doigawa-san’s death…and my friendship with you…Regardless of whether it was truth or lie…I have betrayed you and you should hate me for it. It’s not what The Shepherd might do to me…It is what they will do to me.”

He cringes at the mention of…Pachi-chan.

“The others…well…this is the Homecoming…”

He believes that that word speaks for itself on where the Lambs are. Miyazaki supposes that next he has to turn to them…to the one whose expression he doesn’t want to see. The one who he feels…maybe the slightest bit of shame towards. He puts on a smile though…as fake as it is. It is there.

“Yes, that elitist piece of shit academy. Hope’s Peak Academy…The Academy that is the origin point of everything…Even this killing game has its roots in Hope’s Peak Academy...For more than just because The Shepherd was inspired by those previous games.”

He chuckles at that…oh Hope’s Peak Academy…hopefully when this final game is over it’s reach into the future will end. It’s bloody legacy can finally end…

“Otsuka’s voice…that would be the first one. The second…that was the character I made from him. And the third, maybe I was just trying out other traits? It really doesn’t matter. As for those logs…I’ll let you all believe whatever you’d like to believe.”

Miyazaki’s expression glazes over at the mention again of those logs…Those damned logs…

“As you can guess now, The Shepherd was with me when I dated Hajime. Maybe our connection does expand past just one year. But how far back it actually reaches? Early teens? Childhood? Who can actually say? What do you all think?”

He turns the question back on them. But he does have one final thing to say to Hanji.

“Hmmm…I guess the answer would’ve been in that brochure had it not been desecrated. I guess I can tell you that…The one who built the ARK is the one that built the theme park, the museum, everything that The Shepherd used for the game. Though…that wasn’t the original intention of anything that was built…they just used it for this game.”

And where to next? Maxime…He can’t help but plaster that smile on his face again. These Archambeaults…

“I’d be happy to answer whatever questions you would like to pose I really don’t mind. Hmhm. That backstory…I guess there are many I could’ve come up with but I wanted to get creative. I got the idea from some book I read awhile back…nothing big really.”

He moves from that question and onto the next.

“Yes, one of the volunteers indeed had AEDS. I don’t have AEDS though if that’s what you’re thinking. As for Otsuka-san…where we killed him? I guess I can’t really remember all that well…It didn’t particularly stick out in my mind. His body however was taken when the Lambs cleaned out the facility of the doctor’s bodies. Where he is now? I really couldn’t tell you.”

He shrugs his shoulders loosely at the simple thought as he gives Diabelle more head scritches.

“No, I didn’t infiltrate the facility until I came with the rest of the Lambs. As I’ve said, The Shepherd was the one that infiltrated Happy Smiles with you all. The two of us however remained in contact through their time there. I was waiting for them to essentially give the signal for the game to begin with you all as the victims.”
