#happy birthday ukyou

[hadrian-pendragons]

HELLOOO its the one who ask about your fics again lol (sorry if I'm bothering you )

Since it's Ukyo's birthday, please tell me what make you like Ukyo as a character ( why notice him in a vast amount of people in dr stone and when did you know that you like him) have a nice day (can we please have an estimate time when you'll post a new ff - if there isn't it's fine! Please take your time!! And I AM SOOOO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT you will consider writing a sequel to Ocean Tide! I can wait for a year or 2 tbh as long as you're still writing and okay in life)

(Don’t worry about it, I love getting asks!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER EVER!!

As for why I came to like Ukyou so much—it’s kind of related to writing him. Me and a friend were co-writing something for fun, and he turned into a major character. I ended up in love with writing him and his perspective.

I got attached to him because (in my interpretation of him) he is a character that values peace above all else—to the point of refusing to engage in conflict and looking for every alternative possible, which is something that can end up a flaw (backed up by his actions in Tsukasa’s Empire and to an extent in the treasure island arc). While in Tsukasa’s Empire, he never really had his allegiance questioned—something I like to attribute to his ability to keep his emotions in check and hidden behind a mask (or a smile). In that arc, his moral code gets backed into a corner. He turns a blind eye to Tsukasa shattering statues and, knowing he was horribly outmatched if he were to act out, tried (and failed) to tell himself it wasn’t equal to murder.

That kind of leads up to one of my favorite scenes in the manga: Chapter 73 and 74, when Ukyou talks to Senkuu over the phone. I feel like that scene is where Ukyou knew that his only chance at doing the right thing and succeeding, rather than opposing Tsukasa on his own and recklessly, was to hope that Senkuu was someone good. (I tend to have this in their dynamic when I write them a lot, with Senkuu being Ukyou’s hope and lifeline and confidence that they could do anything (even saving the world). And with Ukyou being Senkuu’s reassurance and the calm to his chaos.)

I think I loved Ukyou when I realized he was a character that understood the world’s darkness and was afraid—not of the darkness, but of the harsh decision between self-preservation and honoring his own beliefs and morals. He’s surprisingly realistic as a character, who keeps hoping for the best even when he falters, but can tell the difference between realistic and unrealistic expectations. (Which, when Senkuu promised, delivered, and then kept going far past the bar and the standards Ukyou held while at the same time working hard to make his goals happen, makes Ukyou feel grateful to have met Senkuu at all. He doesn’t admit it, but I like to think Ukyou felt like Senkuu saved him. And maybe that’s how Ukyou starts to fall a little bit in love with him.)

That turned into an essay, but I’ve been thinking about them for way too long and they continue to surprise me. Ukyou especially is just a character I’m forever going to be attached to. I love the entire Dr. Stone cast, but I just eat up the crumbs from the manga and anime, haha

As for when I’ll have a new fic, I can’t really give an estimate on that. I’m definitely a planner, but I’ve also been unable to write a lot lately (I’m hoping to work out a better pace with writing and work, since I’m a little bit sporadic despite all the planning I do). I’ll definitely remember to post here when I have a new fic, though! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed reading them <3 It makes my day.

I hope you have a wonderful time, whatever part of the day it is for you! It’s a good night for me, thank you for the ask!

Manga Recommendations?

Some manga I’m really into right now/have finished and loved:

NOTE: 95% I don’t know the English name of...also I may or may not swap between the first name-last name and last name-first name order depending on how I read them in my head...

Monokuro Shounen Shoujo by Fukuyama Ryoco: This human high school girl Kureha ends up at this Beast school, pretending to be a “rabbit” so the Beast students can get used to being around “humans/prey that can be substituted for humans” because they are at the school with the aim to win a coveted prize to become human if they become the highest ranking student at the end of their three years. Definitely a love story with not love-triangles... no no. Love chains. Rings upon rings of people who like people who no longer like people who actually never liked people who are in love with other people. But the writing is great, the characters - Kureha’s main besties: Ukyou, ChouChou and Chigaya - are funny, and have a lot of great development throughout the series and being in a alt universe with beasts and various kingdoms (since they’re the various princes and princesses of their respective beast kingdoms), there’s a lot of interesting plot lines that get explored. (NOT FINISHED)

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda by Junko: A high school fujoshi - Serinuma Kae - is hit with a tragedy in her favourite anime, and so loses a lot of weight and become super hot, thus attracting the attention of four guys and one girl. I really liked up to the point before she chose who she actually liked of the five (she chose the one I shipped her with so victory to me) that the mangaka took care to show that while initially their reasons were shallow (well 3/5 of them anyway), each of them fell in love with Kae for her character and also while not understanding her otaku/fujoshi hobbies, still tried their best to support her (even if it resulted in her imagining them in various BL situations) and accept her. You get very frustrated with Kae right after she chooses who she chooses (or at least I did) but she kinda comes back from it...mainly because the person she chose is super cute and sweet about everything AND the others all become friends and are just as supportive regardless of being rejected. (NOT FINISHED)

Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn by Kusanagi Mizuho (OBVIOUSLY I’D REC THIS): so basic premise is a princess - Yona - on her 16th birthday witnesses her cousin/childhood friend/crush - Soo-Won - kill her father/the king and so runs away into the night with her other childhood friend and loyal bodyguard - Hak. From there she decides what to do and chooses to seek out the legendary four dragons and also picks up a genius pretty boy along the way to ensuing adventures! Now imma tell ya’ll right now that this is my absolute favourite manga out there and even the anime isn’t half-bad and is a good way to jump into the manga. There’s adventure and mystical/fantasy/magic elements that get introduced piece by piece in a way that you can’t know how it’ll all work together, and it’s supposed to be shoujo but there are so many elements in it that you don’t see in typical shoujo books and the romance element of the series has the greatest build-up ever (the most recent addition to canon is freaking incredible). The mangaka is so clever in how she develops characters and treats basically every main “villain” or “antagonist” as grey because there’s always a backstory. Particularly the main antagonist - Soo-Won. And also the way she develops the relationships between the main cast - the Happy Hungry Bunch (inside joke) - is a gradual building of trust and love through various sweet and VERY PAINFUL (Zeno Arc/Shin-Ah Fire Tribe story/Xing moments) while making it witty, charming and exciting to behold. I could go on but this is just an amazing series and Kusanagi-sensei knows how to rile up a crowd. (ONGOING)

ok that’s enough for today...

Chapter 13 out of ?: December 25th, Christmas day

Summary: “You didn’t need to bring a gift mentalist,” Senkuu pointed out. “It’s polite Senkuu chan,” Gen reminded. “I want them to like me, don’t I?” It was more of a offhand comment but it was partially true. Gen had never meant Byakuya or Lillian. He had no idea how to act around them. “Trust me, they’ll smother you,” Senkuu snickered. “So sentimental, Lillian even moved into my childhood apartment with my old man,” Senkuu turned into the apartment complex.

Chapter 12 out of ?: December 24th

Summary: Senkuu did feel a bit silly about the gift he got for Gen, but what do you get a man who can get himself anything? In total, the gift only must have cost 1500 yen but Senkuu knew better than to think his soulmate was materialistic. Despite how glamorously Gen lived… “Ughh,” Senkuu groaned. “What am I thinking?”

Chapter 11 out of ?: What a strange man

Summary: April 1st, 20?? Gen panicked and reached for his chest and there was a bow tie instead of his normal outfit. The material was even different from what he remembered wearing. It was much softer and lighter…? Gen searched all over his chest for any sign of harm but nothing. Even worse, it seemed he was in some kind of box. “And in 3, 2, 1 folks,” A familiar voice spoke over some speakers.

Summary: Yuzuriha paused the video right there. “What the…?” Yuzuriha blinked in disbelief. “Gen has been able to tell color way before he met Senkuu…? So then why…?” Yuzuriha rushed to check the interview date and like she thought. It was years ago.

Chapter 9 out of ?: An important interview

Summary:

Yuzuriha was confused but opened the link and skipped to the time stamp.

“And my fans wanted to know that?” Gen playfully raised an eyebrow. “Well it’s a specific shade of purple,” Gen answered. “Kind of like lavender,” “But isn’t it true you have the color blindness soulmate mark?”

Yuzuriha paused the video right there. “What the…?”

Summary: “Isn’t your lover trying to damn well kill me and the rest of us?” Senkuu had enough of Xeno trying to confuse him. “Stanley? Hardly,” “He’s literally chasing you across the word,” Senkuu scoffed. “That’s his job,” Xeno shrugged so casually. “I guess we once had what some may call a relationship but I came to the same realization you will. Love makes people selfish and people like us can’t afford that. We’re both trying to revive the world. We can’t waste time on one person.

“Who is it?” Taiju questioned. “It’s Gen,” Senkuu smiled a bit. “Ohh what’s it say?” Yuzuriha joined in on the questioning. “When did you become so noisy?” Senkuu asked. “When your soulmate is the Gen Asagiri when, now what does it say?” Yuzuirha hummed. “He’s asking if we want to go see a show on the fourth,” Senkuu stated.
