BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR (Cour 2 ↝ 2023年7月8日)

[kaidanalenkosprmanager]

THE BEST OF PRIORITY: MARS (PART 2)

Featuring: Cmdr. Sophie Shepard, Maj. Kaidan Alenko, Lt. James Vega, and Dr. Liara T'Soni With: The Illusive Man and Dr. Eva Coré Your vision is pathetically limited. You were a tool- an agent with a singular purpose. And despite our differences? You were relatively successful. But like the rest of the relics in this place, your time is over. Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition (2021)

*this is one of my first writings and the shortest still trying to build the courage to post the rest but i would love any constructive criticism*

****DRUGGED*****

Going out with your friends has an unexpected consequence?

(Gojoxfem reader implied consent if you squint cnc play, drugs, spit PV, non con/dub con etc) *not proofread* *pretend you saw the conversation where they agreed to cnc im into bdsm kinks and dark kinks*

Satoru hated when you went out with your friends every other weekend was girls' night out, and every other weekend, you drank too much and came home with your friends, and their annoying laughter aggravated him to no end. He glanced at the clock, expecting you to come home in a few hours. But to his surprise, he received a text from your best friend, aki

* Hey..gojo, i think you should come pick up Y/N shes acting really weird i think someone slipped something in the drink they gave her*

Satorus heart dropped, but his anger flaired up. "Why the hell would she accept a drink from someone?" he grumbled to himself quickly, getting into his car. He clicked the little dot on his phone that showed your location and headed there. He hands ready to rip apart whoever slipped you something.

***********

You were having the time of your life when slowly you started to feel off. everything was colorful, and you were laughing and falling all over your bestie aki.

"Y/n, you only had like two drinks. How are you this wasted?"aki whined, whipping out her phone, texting someone simultaneously helping you sit down

"Awlll sssome body is being a party pooper," you giggled, rolling your eyes as you felt your body start to feel limp on the couch

The music was blaring, but it seemed so quiet all of sudden. You felt relaxed and sleepy.

Then you saw satoru bounding up the stairs to your vip section, his soft white hair bouncing with every long stride he took up the steps

"Baby!" You exclaimed excitedly, raising your hands that quickly dropped "oops i guess my arms got fat, " you laughed, falling to the side on the couch

Satoru rolled his eyes, turning towards aki. "Who the fuck sent her a drink?" His voice was harsh. Your friends really annoyed him he looked over your friends one by one as they shrugged, clearly scared of his reaction and the way he looked at them.

"Dont you have some famous eye thing you find the guy!" Aki slurred her wirds as she spoke to satoru

"That's not how it works, you dumbass," Satoru said, annoyed

Aki just threw her hands up saying "at least i called you."

Satoru glared at her, turning to scan the crowd for anyone looking your way or acting suspicious. He clenched his teeth, realizing that everyone there looked sleezy to him, and he couldn't kill them all.

"Fucking useless friends" he hissed turning back around to picking you up in his arms

"Weeeeee!" You cheered as he carried you "why are you taking me away" you pout looking up at his face. His lips pressed in a hard line as he clenched his teeth

"Your drunk. And i told you a million times not to accept anything from anyone" he said flatly

You wanted to speak but you slowly were drifting off to sleep the drug finally taking full effect. The cool air was the last thing you felt before your eyes closed

Satoru looked down at you as he stood outside the lounge

"Geez baby" he said laying you down in the backseat he checked for your pulse your heart was beating and you were breathing so he decided to just take you home to sleep it off.

When he made it back to the house he gently picked you up put of the back seat and sat you up on the bed trying to wake you up

"Baby girl open your eyes for me" He said shaking your shoulders you just mumble something incoherently and raised your arm quickly dropping it again. he let your shoulders go and you fell back on the bed spraled out with your right knee slightly bent

Satoru looked down over you rubbing his temples

"What am i going to do with you" he said brushing some of the hair from your face.

God you were beautiful to him his eyes trailing down your body your to your cute little skirt with the leather garter on your thigh of course someone wanted you. With curves all in the right place and your plush lips.

Satoru found himself becoming aroused seeing you all helpless. He pulled your crop top down exposing your breast he squeezed them softly rubbing your nipples with his index fingers , "look at you" he said softly licking his lips before he brought his lips to your nipples suckling them and running his tounge over them one by one.

A soft little moan escaped your lips making the bugle in his sweatpants grow bigger and twitch "fuck" he said grabbing himself "baby girl?" He said turning your face towards him.

When you gave no response he squeezed your cheeks a little parting your lips for him. he kissed your lips forcing his tounge into your mouth he squeezed your cheeks harder to open your mouth a little more sucking in your tounge into his mouth a string of spit fell to your chin when he pulled away

"god this is sexy..you all helpless and shit" "so much better than when we play cnc" he breathed against your lips letting your face go, your head falling to the side

He climbed on the bed kissing your neck down to your breast sucking in your nipples again his hand found its way down your side lifting your skirt up and sliding his fingers between your legs rubbing against the silky pink panties you hand on he could feel your wetness through your panties

"Fuck.. so wet f'me even when you're passed out?" He grinned pulling your panties to the side he slipped his fingers between your folds lighly brushing across your clit and then bringing his fingers into his mouth tasteing your juices.

"Im going to record this and make you watch it while i fuck you later" He pulled out his phone propping it up on out dresser before he climbed back onto the bed down pulling your panties off quickly putting his mouth over you wet cunt "mmmhmm" He hummed slipping his tounge between your sticky folds sucking on your clit he slipped one finger into you and felt your pussy clentch on his fingers "oh baby you like this" His voice trembled he felt like he was about to lose his mind with how bad he wanted to ravage you.

Pushing another one of his long slender fingers into you again you clenched down on his fingers only this time he heard you moan it almost made him nut in his pants right then. he kissed up your stomach grabbing your face again and licking the drool that started to spill from your mouth before he kissing you Swallowing every little one of your choked whimpers as he worked his fingers in and out of you. Pressing his thumb against your swollen clit

Your body starts to twitch and your moaning came out more you were about to cum he pulled his fingers out and stuck them in your mouth before bringing his mouth back to your lips lapping up all your drool mixed with your sweet juices

"Damn...Not yet baby i want you to cum in my mouth" he said taking a pillow to put under your head

He adjusted your limp small frame putting your hands by your sides and pushing your legs apart kissing the insides of your thighs, he pulled his sweats down freeing his aching cock thumbing off the precum and pressing it against your clit and he pumped his cock rubbing your circles on your clit.

"Fuck your so wet" he said rubbing your clit a little harder before putting his head between your legs and licking your wet slit spitting on it and watching it slide down slowly licking it up again.

"fuck" his mind was clouded he wanted to cum in you on you all over you he was about to lose his mind humping the bed and moving his head back and forth as he ate you out. Stuck in a trance with the state of you and the way you tasted he let out a growl before latching on your throbbing clit

"eese" you wimper in your slumber and your body started to twich again satoru watched your face the only thing moving was your eyebrows which were furrowed "You saying please? Huh? Ok, pretty ..cum for me baby thats what you want i know" he spoke against your hot sex latching onto your clit again swirling circles around it determined to make you cum whike you were knocked out.

Little huffs left your mouth and satoru flicked at your clit with his tounge and worked his fingers in and out if you before he heard a little gasp and felt a gush of wetness on his waiting tounge. Your were cumming and your body still lay limp except for the little twitches it had from feeling his mouth on you as he egarly sucked up all of your juices bringing his head up he saw that your breathing was heavier and he smiled, loving that you could still cum in the state you were in.

"Good girl" he placed a kiss on your lips before lifting one of your legs over his shoulder and pushing the other further apart taking his cock and rubbing it over your wet slit he couldnt stand it anymore he needed to be in you. he pushed his way in your velvet walls groaning from how tight and wet you were "fu-fuck baby" "you feel so fucking good" he rolled his hips snapping it into you with one hard thrust he bottomed out squeezing the fat on your thigh he pushed your leg back making your knee touch the bed giving him better acess and fucking you deeper he made his thrust slow and methodical watching as his cock appeared just to disappear back into you leaving the hairs above the base of his cock wet

Slowly you opened your eyes a little confused about why you couldnt move your arms and why you felt so full and sensitive. You couldnt move your lips properly but you tried to speak "sato?" You groaned feeling him fuck into you.

Satoru looked at you his crystal blue eyes dancing with delight "shh baby its okay" he said slowing his pace

"You didnt listen...shit..."" you took a drink from someone didnt you?"

You looked at him through your eye lashes trying to nod your head but made no progress it was like you were in a paralyzing dream but you were awake and it didnt click that you were drugged you could barely focus on his words with how deep he was fucking you

"i know baby.. i should be mad" he thrust his hips harshly again making you let out another moan "but it worked out for me because now i can fuck my pretty pussy without you trying to get away" he smirked sighing as he felt your velvet walls grip onto him everytime he pulled back "god this pussy is so greedy" he licked his lips

He kept one of his hands on your thigh keeping your leg pinned to the bed still fucking you slowly "you already came once baby do you remember?" He looked down at you your eyes were open but low and your lips were slightly parted while you still had some drool spilling out the side of your mouth

"Fuck" he groaned "...dont look at me like that youll make me cum before im ready" he abruptly grabbed both of your legs lifting them over his shoulder and pulling your hips down as he gave you another hard thrust making your eyes roll back "shit...i should really ... really fucking thank the guy" he said with a hint of gratitude in his voice

You try to speak but only little whines left your throat. You could feel yourself about to cum again your breathing picked up and satoru took both of your legs folding you in half into a mating press putting both hands around your neck using your neck for leverage "huh" you grunt as your airflow was cut off you wanted to squirm away put your hands on his chest so he wasnt so deep but you couldn't move you took everything he had to give your eyes rolling in the back of your head when you felt the coil in your belly snap and a flood of dopamine filled your mind and body your pussy throbbing around satoru as you creamed on his cock

"Fu-fuck ahh" satoru groaned as he pushed into you harder, you were cuming so hard so much you walls threatened to force him out "oh no baby..fucking take it" he grunted squeezing your neck tighter "imagine if it wasnt me fucking you like this..someone else couldve had...had this pussy" "shit..this pussy is mine" he said Shutting his eyes he opened them looking down at you with your lipstick smeared all over your face and his hand around your throat. Tears filling your eyes as he pounded into you and that look you gave him.. the helpless damsel in distress forced to take all his cock sent him over the edge and he couldnt hold it back anymore

"ahhhh fuck" his body shook as he filled you with his thick ropes of cum he gave you more thrust emptying every drop he had into you his heavy body collapsed ontop of yours. He let go of your neck and you gasped for air you legs falling open as he laid between them kissing on your neck

"Fuck baby that was hot" he kissed your lips and you blinked more. slowly regaining some more consciousness

"I bet that did wake you up" he chuckled he reluctantly pulled out of you and flipped you over on your stomach

"Sato?" You try to call for him still unable to move your lips to form his name

"Dont worry baby..im gonna take care of you" Satoru said turning your head to face him "now that your up you can watch a movie" he smirked kissing your lips

He sat his phone right in your line of eyesight and pressed play taking your arms and pinning them at the small of your back "good girl now watch me fuck you while i fuck you again for not following simple rules" a loud smack against your ass caused you to wimper "im starting to like you better when you're drugged."

[everettswritings]

Maybe,,, little Cacao and CG PV? Jus a big puppy and his baba,,, I love them so much, hcs or a lil fic, whichever you feel like doing!! :3

I’m home from band camp, so it’s fic time! I didn’t even think about PV being one of his caregivers, but it honestly makes so much sense. (NSFW/Kink accounts DNI)

As close friends and allies in battle, Dark Cacao Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie knew things about each other that no one else did- deep secrets and just odd habits. Something that Pure Vanilla Cookie knew quite a lot about was his friend’s age regression, especially since he took care of him. Dark Cacao Cookie was hesitant about letting Pure Vanilla Cookie care for him, he didn’t like letting his vulnerabilities be known, but there was no fighting with Pure Vanilla Cookie. At the end of the day, the two were still peers and at least a little trust should be expected.

There was another meeting in the Pure Vanilla Kingdom, another round of arguments as everyone had different ideas on what should be done about Dark Enchantress Cookie’s advances. For some reason today, Dark Cacao Cookie could hardly handle the meeting and it was growing to be far too much for the old king. Pure Vanilla Cookie noticed his friend’s distressed state and cleared his throat to speak; “Pardon me, but why don’t we all take a break?” He began, grabbing the attention of the room, “These decisions are quite hard and require a lot of thought, we should all take time to ourselves to make sure our heads are clear.” He finished with an encouraging smile. The other cookies nodded and decided to disperse in their own ways without much question, leaving the two Ancients by their lonesome.

Dark Cacao Cookie buried his face into his arms, a soft sniffling sound emitting from him as his caregiver cooed at him “Oh, little one, I know. Times are very hard right now, I know.” He gently assisted Dark Cacao Cookie into his lap, holding him gently. Although he could hardly argue, Dark Cacao Cookie still tried to resist his oncoming littlespace.

“No, m-my burden to carry.” He protested, earning a gentle shushing from Pure Vanilla Cookie “It’s okay, little one. You don’t have to be strong all the time, you don’t have to carry everything on your own. Would you try to carry all your toys by yourself?”, Dark Cacao Cookie shook his head, “Exactly. You’d ask me for help then, and you can ask me for help now. I’m never going to get mad at you or treat you like a pain, okay?”.

A tiny smile spread on Dark Cacao Cookie’s face as he fully embraced regressing, he then buried his face into Pure Vanilla Cookie’s shoulder. Pure Vanilla Cookie chuckled and lovingly stroked the king’s jet black hair, “That’s my little one.” He said with pure joy and affection in his voice. For about an hour or two afterwards, the two would cuddle just like that; even when Pure Vanilla Cookie’s legs fell asleep, he didn’t have the heart to move or disturb his old friend. “Alright, buddy, how about I take you upstairs for a nap? I could even get your teether out.” Pure Vanilla Cookie offered, earning an immediate nod from Dark Cacao Cookie.

Although the trek up the stairs was rather difficult, the time they spent together was more than worth the tough journey. Sometimes even the strongest of Cookies have moments of weakness, of vulnerability, and that’s okay. Sometimes those moments of vulnerability lead to wonderful memories and the strengthening of bonds, all that’s needed is a little trust.

Yippee! I’m sorry this wasn’t super focused on the regression part of it, but I think focusing more on comfort was better for the story in general. That’s all, have a good one 🫶

Kinkuary Day 29 - Breathplay

For Kinkuary day 29!

Sukuna Ryomen x AFAB!Reader (Yuuji is also here briefly for more than he was in the last two)

** This is a continuation of Day 3's Allegiance and Day 24's Double Crossed. While it's not necessary to read the other chapters first, I would highly recommend them for context to their relationship and the background at the beginning.

18+ Minors DNI!

More under the cut!

You have a secret.

You have not and do not plan on telling this secret to anyone. Not your family, not your friends, and especially not your sweet, unsuspecting boyfriend Yuuji Itadori. This secret has gripped at your heart the last few weeks, and it’s made it hard to sleep, salty tears occasionally slipping down your cheeks onto your pillow cases. You haven’t worked past the gut punch of admitting this secret to yourself, and you’re not sure if you’ll ever be able to tame your ego enough to accept it. This secret is going to stay locked in your heart and brain if it’s the last thing you do.

You see, your secret is that you have fallen in love with Ryomen Sukuna, the powerful curse that inhabits your boyfriend’s body.

And it’s weird because ever since that time in the restaurant, you think you see him a lot more, flashing between moments just to give you a taste before immediately relinquishing back to Yuuji. You’ll see it in the way his eyes change to Sukuna’s when they flash to his peripheral to watch you focus on your task, you’ll feel it in the way Sukuna grips your ass a little tighter when you go in to hug Yuuji, you’ll smell it in his sheer body chemistry when he switches in the middle of the night, lying next to you in bed. You never catch him; you just sense him. Then, Yuuji is staring back at you, completely oblivious to the nanosecond he lost control to the curse inside him, and he carries on, not sure why you’ve been acting so weird lately.

You haven’t considered if this means you’ve fallen out of love with Yuuji either. You have been with him forever, and up until your anniversary months ago, you harbored the same deep-seeded hatred for his curse that he did. It takes away the sweet, romantic, innocent boy you fell madly in love with right out of high school. And now, lying in bed next to him as he reads, the dim light of the beside table lamps the only light in the room, you can’t imagine not lying next to him. 

But Yuuji doesn’t make your heart race anymore. You don’t feel the same need for him in your core, the telltale throb of wanting him to love you and touch you and ruin you and melt your brain. You don’t feel swept off your feet, always ready for another surprise at what he’d do to love you fully, completely, drunkenly.

Let’s put it this way: Yuuji would never fuck you stupid in a restaurant bathroom for anyone to see and hear. 

Continued on AO3...

Your Melody & hanakotoba (language of flowers)

during the voice drama watch party livestream, hyuga (rimicha's seiyuu) mentioned the meaning of the sunflowers in the pv and how they may relate to his feelings for kirimi-chan. knowing that (and that hanakotoba seems to have some differences here and there) i decided to go down the rabbit hole

disclaimer: i don't know anything about flowers and guessed for some of them, also most of the sources (listed at the bottom of the post) seem to be wikis of sorts run by either a single person or a small group of people

Rimicha

Sunflowers (ヒマワリ/himawari): As mentioned by Hyuga in the voice drama watch party livestream, they tend to mean "I'm looking at only you" and symbolise "longing".

Strelitzia reginae/bird of paradise flowers (極楽鳥花/gokuraku chouka): Pretty hard to translate, but according to my sources, it carries a negative connotation. The best it can probably be translated as is "a love which you are trying to show yourself bigger and better", according to my sources. (To be clear, what's being translated is 気取った愛, which the machine translation didn't give any clues for what it might mean, and a dictionary was somehow even more confusing.)

Oxalis corniculata/creeping woodsorrel (カタバミ/katabami): I honestly don't know if these are the right flowers, but they're the best guess I have for the small yellow flowers at the base of the bouquet. It seems to symbolise "a shining heart" and mean "to be with you".

Hallritt

Geraniums (ゼラニウム/zeraniumu): I can't tell what type of geraniums they could be, but that doesn't seem to matter in hanakotoba anyways. Red geraniums in particular can represent "friendship", "determination", and "solace", and can carry the meaning "happiness when you're there".

Merold

White roses (白いバラ/shiroi bara): Generally represents "purity" (in the "innocent" sense) and "heartfelt respect". It can have the meaning "I am suitable for you", but it seems it can also mean something like "beauty is your only appeal", which is... interesting.

Pink roses (ピンク色のバラ/pinku iro no bara): Seems to represent meanings like "kind heart", "satisfaction", "promising" (in the sense that one could have a "promising future"), and "elegance". It can also mean "first love" or "to be deeply moved".

White lilies (白いユリ/yuri): Again can represent "innocence", but can also represent "unmarked beauty" or "magnificence". It can also mean "a noble personality". (As a sidenote, I think people generally assume you mean a white lily if you just say "yuri".)

Pink lillies (ピンク色のユリ): Much easier than the above, but funnily enough can mean "insinuations" or "words or behaviour that hints at a deeper meaning​", and "vanity".

Asters (アスター/asutaa): White asters tend to represent "change" or "reminiscing", and can also mean "a heart that has faith".

Lupinus (ルピナス/rupinasu): They seem to represent "the (power of) imagination" or "being greedy", which is an interesting difference. They can also mean "always content" or "you are my comfort". The last one's kanji can also mean "peace of mind" or "tranquility", so that's what "comfort" means there.

Calluna vulgaris/heather (カルーナ/karuuna): My best guess for the smaller, darker pink long flowers. This one doesn't have many sources for hanakotoba I can find, so the meanings are probably nonexistant, but a few sites I can find are claiming it can mean "self-reliance", "integrity", and "departure".

Loropetalum chinense (白いトキワマンサク/shiroi tokiwamansaku): The best guess I have at the little white flowers with slim petals. This is another one where I had to go digging for other sources for the hanakotoba, so it might just be all made up. Anyway, it can represent "inspiration" or "mysterious powers", or mean "good luck charm" or "I want to love you" (not entirely sure about the last one).

Gypsophilia/baby breath (かすみソウ/kasumi sou): The very small white flowers (notable at the bottom of the bouquet). This is a later edit because someone I know figured it out. Anyway, white baby breath represent "a calm heart" or "a pure heart".

Hey so remember that AU where PK couldn't go ahead with the sealing after he already put Radiance in Flower's (PV's name) head so he basically takes them away from Hallownest and cares for them as they're infected? That's a very simple breakdown and he basically did that because they broke from the chains he put them in and, while being controlled by The Radiance, lashed out at him trying to kill him so he figures he was wrong about how infection works and she could still control them + if they were able to break out from their chains he was afraid of just leaving them there incase she managed to escape, so he figures taking them away where they couldn't hurt anybody while he figures out what to do next would be the best option

Anyway, I wrote a little something for after he and WL figure out Flower is actually impure and that's why she's able to control their body,

Summary: Flower/PV struggles with the infection and finds comfort in their parents' arms. Hurt/comfort

TW: Brief mention of attempted self-harm, typical grossness that comes with writing about the infection

Flower laid there in the nest their father had made, painstakingly grabbing every pillow, blanket and soft material he could find, their mother's roots giving it shape and support - much more stable and comfortable than the cold, hard stone they relied on before she had found the two of them. They were lucid, the rare few moments where the Old Light retreated and let them take a hold of their body, both worn down and exhausted from the near constant battle for control that rendered this body practically useless the vast majority of the time, neither of them being able to claw their way to the front of their mind. This time, they were victorious, but the few moments of being fully present in their body were anything but rewarding and peaceful.

They gasped, wheezed and coughed, despite needing no air the sickly orange, burning cysts that formed in their chest and throat pressed painfully and uncomfortably against their void, they tried in vain to force them out, almost sending themself into a blind panic trying to get the release, some kind of relief from this pain and discomfort and burning hotness that would not come.

Their mother sat next to them, stroking their hair and horns and gently wiping the never ending orange pus coming out of every opening in their face, speaking to them comforting words in her soft voice, much like them trying in vain to bring them some sort of comfort and relief in this never ending pain. Her roots wrapped around their wrists, holding their hands back after they - almost instinctively - tried to scratch at their face and throat, desperately trying to dig the cysts out.

After a long while they had finally stopped struggling to try and cough them up, it was taking them nowhere but bringing further pain. Instead they just laid there, their gasps and groans gurgly, trying desperately to find some sort of position that'd be comfortable for them, each movement a painful struggle as their body was too weak and broken to allow them to move in the way that they had wanted. In their constant squirming their eyes eventually landed on their father, sitting back against the edge of the nest, looking at them with that same guilt riddled, pained expression he always did; but as their eyes met her quickly glanced away, being unable to look them in the face as they struggled.

They slowly propped themself up on their elbows and then hands, trying their best to crawl and pull themself closer to him.

"Child?"

His ears suddenly perked up and he looked back at them in surprise and confusion as they propped their head up against him, taking a short break before pulling themself in closer and slumping against his chest. They laid their head there, trying to focus on his breathing and the sound of his hearts beating over the burning pain and discomfort. It had always brought them comfort, back then when they were small enough that he was able to carry them or even let them rest in his lap against his chest on occasion, and even now as they've grown it was no different.

They closed their eyes, the rhythmic beating of his hearts and the slow rise and fall of his chest soothing them, their frantinc, panicked, gurgling gasps from before slowly fading into quiet, hitched breathing. And after a moment they felt his arms wrap around them, pulling them in closer and and holding them steady as he purred softly to them. They nuzzled in closer to the soft vibrations, melting into his embrace as their pained breathing finally stopped.

"My love," They felt the nest shift as their mother sat next to the two of them, though they could hear the concern in her hushed voice, "Are you sure this is a good idea? What if she-"

"Let them rest," Their father replied softly, running his hand through their hair and slowly rubbing circles into their back, "They deserve at least that. I'll be fine."

"...Alright. You're right, they've earned a break."

After a moment they felt her pull a blanket over them, keeping her arm there wrapped around the two of them, and they suppressed a purr as she kissed their head gently - they knew it'd only hurt if they tried.

For a while longer they laid there, listening to their parents hushed talking before the exhaustion finally overtook them. For once, or at least for now, drifting off to a dream that wasn't bathed in her sickly, burning hot light.

what I assume about you based on your favorite ghost and pals song

happy days, appetite of a people pleaser, hyperdontia, or chattering (2019): you're in middle school

novocaine or the distortionist: you most likely call them hot and you scare me. probably also in middle school tbh

candle queen: you're not really a ghost fan you just know this one song

honey i'm home: you're either genuinely a fan of the lyrics and themes or you just like charon and/or charon x norman

reckless battery burns: good taste this song is very well produced and the pv is cool BUT. I know you care more about tamari

aura: you like women.

star of the show: you like women. and you're the "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" meme as a person

the things I deserve: you ALSO like women and you're either really going through it or this song got you through it

amygdala's rag doll: you either know it from the animation memes or you're overcome with a boiling hot rage every time someone calls it trypophobia

rotary dial: you probably relate to henry unfortunately

black & white: you have bad taste (it's okay, me too I love this one) but you're genuinely so sweet tbh

housewife radio: you're correct and probably sympathize with nancy. also more than likely you can or have done a full analysis of every little detail in this song

colorbars: you're into glitchy and digital aesthetics and you much prefer this design over his broadcast illusion one. if you're a. certain way. you might simplify him down to Gay but cmon people we are past that it is 2023

anything from nothing perfect that's NOT perfect nothing: you chose the "i'm not like other girls" option but that's okay because it's an under appreciated ep

perfect nothing: you think you chose the "i'm not like other girls" option. banger song though

those who carried on or two of a kind: I am in love with you. dystopian stuff is your vibe and you're really curious about the pv wip characters/wish it wasn't left unfinished

spider on the wall (2018)(my fav): you scare me. objectively bad taste (affectionate)

spider on the wall (2022): you scare me worse. objectively bad taste (DEROGATORY)

in iolite or chelovek: do you exist (HI I LOVE YOU) if you do you love it when ghost does stuff that's actually different and cool

uncanny, adapertio, or I had to die to survive: you'll cling onto any oc or relationship ghost drops and you probably had theories about uncanny and adapertio when you saw the similarities

culpability or pierre janet's criminal defense: you stuck around during the slow period/hiatus and I will, for some reason, assume you're an older fan

entomologists (2019): I don't think you exist either but I love you. a lot. really into the "bug" part of industrial catholic bugcore

scapeg♾️at: you relate HARD to this song. want to see your abusers in the GROUND. probably a real petty person but I admire that

deathbody: nobody seems to really like this one for some reason? but if you DO I assume you're an older fan who related to foolish and/or ttid in your youth

end world normopathy: be honest you're here for tamari

[good-beans]

Tsumi's ask game: 2, 3, 4, 6 for Fuuta and Mappi!

Woo thank you so much :3 I promise I didn't go overboard but there were still a bunch so they're under the cut

2. favorite mv moment/frame?

This first one, hands down. Of course I love all frames of my little skrunkly (especially in his little knights outfit :3) but this moment in particular gave me chills. I could write a whole essay on how well Bring it On shows the melding of imagination/reality in a way that isn’t infantilizing. It’s not like a little kid getting carried away thinking of their fake stories, this happens to everyone – this has happened to me. Between the glitching and the beat in the music, this really gut-punched me with the feeling of letting yourself get carried away. Shoutout to the second one because it’s epic and I edited a lockscreen with it for a while. (extra shoutout to when he wipes the blood off his face ough I love that one too)

3. favorite non-mv official illustration?

the pv shot who said that. Lmao I actually really liked the 3rd anniversary art! It really captured that shit eating grin, and somehow maintains the perfect balance of making him look genuinely creepy/intimidating and still like a loser asdfsdf. In general he just looks real good in it :3 I know it’s like three tiny panels but I also love his Clock Over Orquestra look ;-;

4. favorite minigram episode/moment?

THERE’S SO MANY LOL I think it has to be the pause of silence as Amane makes fun of his height, but I’m so obsessed with the starry-eyed panel when he’s watching Yuno do cat’s cradle ;---; (eng versions from thinkin-bout-milgram)

6. favorite relationships with another character in the prison?

In general it’s Yuno, but a lot of that is from my own analysis/brainrot/fic writing 😭 I will never shut up about how his initial impression of violence was revealed to be in her defense, rather than his own aggression!!! They’re very similar and where they’re not, they’re complimentary. They are so special to me. If we’re talking mainly canon, it’s definitely him and Amane :’) Some parts are healthy and healing, some parts are fucking them both up more, but it’s all very fun and interesting. 

2. favorite mv moment/frame?

You’re making me choose??? You’re making me choose only one frame of my beautiful beautiful wife????

Seriously though, this one. I know it may be cliche as her Classic Frame but for someone who really relates to her “out of control” emotions and toxic positivity habits, it really hit hard!! It puts you in her victim's shoes, but still in the mindscape, and is just so unsettling and sad ;-;

3. favorite non-mv official illustration?

Definitely her birthday art! She’s so beautiful and happy in it <3 I love the dress, love the cake, love the flowers, it’s perfect! I enjoy her various anniversary art, but it always makes me sad seeing them try and paint her as creepy. I get it, but the whole point of her character is that there’s nothing literally creepy/mean about her ;--; (Referring to my previous answer, that's how you make her creepy. You put the viewer in her victim's shoes and make her just as cheery as always.)

4. favorite minigram episode/moment?

Her “I bet I could” because she Could!!! I believe in her 😤 It was such a cute minigram overall but after so much canon content of her struggling to keep up with what society/others expect of her I loved seeing her have some confidence in herself, even if it was silly :3 Ahh I also love her keeping up with Kotoko at jumprope! She may be small but she can keep up with the best of ‘em 💪

6. favorite relationships with another character in the prison?

Also Yuno lol! I love how much they care for each other, especially now that Yuno has been looking after her in T2 ;-; In general they make such a cool parallel – they both have crimes related to a partnership with a man, both pay attention to the picture-perfect ideal of a woman that society expects, but are complete opposites regarding honesty/masks. My secret little favorite is Fuuta, but once again that’s really all from headcanoned interactions and parallels 😅

Reader as The Unfortunate Seamstress

(Author's Note: I felt obligated to write something for the IT AU because it's summer, so I put together an outline I daydreamed about at 4am while listening to a Vocaloid cover. I might want to revisit this story, but I feel like it should be a comic rather than a written piece. If I do write this properly, I still want it to be illustration heavy. With that said, please enjoy the products of my sleepy daydreams.)

The Tailor of Derry, Maine

The year is 2016, Halloween is coming soon, with it being late September. A starving artist young seamstress has moved to Derry, Maine and opened a one-room tailor shop. With the spooky season coming around, they’ve been working on costumes (including their own) for Halloween. 

By October, children begin to disappear (Word is last night a crime occurred, wonder what it was?), and the seamstress gains a loyal patron in the form of IT!Reve. He visits their shop on a near-daily basis, having them mend and wash putrid smelling children’s clothes.The seamstress begins to worry when they recognize some of the missing children’s clothing…and really bloody clothing (I seat the kimono and sew freshly fixed clothes.) . Reve always seems to be around kids before they go missing (Who might she be, the lady I see standing at your side?)… They don’t confront Reve, with him being cordial and being their cash-cow (But as always, “Concentrate” I say and stay working/Scissors clutched tightly as I cut deep into the deed.). 

On Halloween, things get fucked.

The seamstress tailored Utena’s uniform, but couldn’t find the time to put together the princely decor (shoulder pads, brooch thingy). Reve has them close their eyes and he does some Anthy-magic to get ‘em dripped out. When they ask him how he did that, he brushes off his eldritch powers  talents with “A magician never reveals his secrets.”  Reve offhandedly mentions that he seems to have a ‘thing’ for artistic types.

After participating in a Halloween event at Derry Elementary, the seamstress bore witness to Reve…feeding in the form of the Kuchisake-onna (AREN’T I BEAUTIFUL?), using a familiar set of heavy-duty fabric scissors to finish them off (Sharpen them well and they’ll sweep cleaner to your needs.). Reve stares down the seamstress, and places a finger on its slit mouth as if to say “hush” , but it’s more like “I’m not in the mood to put down a witness.” The seamstress goes home quietly, in a daze.

When they open up shop the next day, they check their sewing kit for tampering.

They find their fabric scissors covered in fresh blood, fresh enough to wipe off with a tissue. Reve arrives at the shop, but the way he looks at them tells them that last night happened. The seamstress demands Reve to leave, as it is no longer welcome. When It refuses to leave, the seamstress charges at Reve with the scissors. Reve catches their armed hand by the wrist and shows them a sliver of the Deadlights. It counters that being nosy in Derry won’t end well, and that those bloody scissors don’t look too innocent. It insists that it would be best for everyone if the (mentally) scarred seamstress just carried on working as usual, and it promises to leave them off the buffet menu, so long as it’s allowed to continue its dealings with them. The seamstress relents after being shown what It ‘looks like’ and turns a blind-eye to disappearances after this encounter (How odd, were my scissors always covered in this color?/No concern, I must return to my hard work.)

There are alternate endings to this last encounter, but that’s either death or something worse.

Silver Talks AniManga (07/07/24)

didn't post yesterday cause was busy all day (against my will) new season starting tho so that's fun, even if I'm not watching a ton this time around, also the end of this new serialization round I'm on vacation for the next couple weeks so hopefully I find the time to catch up/finish some stuff but I also got the ff14 expansion I want to play through so we'll see

green - new series/new to me

Anime

Plus-Sized Elf Ep1

I completely missed the announcement that this was gonna be a short anime so I was surprised when I saw the lenght was only 11 minutes, it's fine tho, it fits the manga and makes it more easily digestible. Anyway, that was alright, nothing too impressive and a lot of still panning shots as you'd expect from an adaptation like this. I was surprised by the full on uncensored tiddies tho. What really carries shows like this is the voice cast and Itou Ayasa did a solid job I think. Not expecting a lot out of this, but since it's short it should be a nice little appetizer before I watch Samurai on fridays

The Elusive Samurai Ep1

wow wow wow WOW Like what else can I say but that? I wasn't too hopeful for the anime from the pvs we saw before, they looked good, yes, but it felt like something was missing, to me. All those doubts are completely dispelled now however. Ep 1 was nothing short of incredible, like it's hard to even find the words to explain just how good it was, you gotta see it to understand. Everything was great. Both OP and ED had good visuals and songs. The OST and voices were great, and the animation was really solid too. There was a chance to have some sakuga during a certain scene, and they didn't do it, but it still looked good, if they keep that throughout the whole show then it should be fine. My favourite part was the colours tho, it looked beautiful and there were a lot of great shots like the ones below, among many others. It's just refreshing to see such creative use of colours, like some shots looked good enough to be in a movie adaptation instead of a TV anime

But anyway, I've been reading the manga since day 1 so it's crazy to see it get such a great adaptation. Matsui truly is built different. Me and my buddy mega were discussing were the anime is gonna end, since it's confirmed 12 episodes, and I'm fairly sure it's gonna be on chap 58 for various reasons. We'll see how the pacing for the new few eps goes tho, it may not get quite that farhard

Manga

Hima-Ten! Ch1

That was... ok. As I mentioned before I read the author's previous work as it came out years ago, and it was a ping pong series. I figured this was going to be sports based too, so I was surprised when they released the synopsis and I found out it was going to be a rom com. I'll start out by saying I'm not too big on romance stuff. Like I love Blue Box but it took a while for me to warm up to it and even then it lacks a lot of the issues I usually have with that kinda stuff.

Back to this series tho, my biggest complaint about chapter 1 was setting up this secondary girl (the black haired one in the pic below) and making it clear that the MC even has a crush on her, just for the main girl to show up and, obviously, win him over eventually. I mean the damn summary for the series on M+ ends with "Say hello to some company president girl x house-cleaner boy romantic comedy hijinks!", so there's not much room to wonder about what'll happen.

Other than that it was a nice chap 1. The art has improved so much that it's like a completely different artist (tho there's still some recognizable bits from his old stuff) and this new style is super cute, I actually really like it. The interactions between the mains were fun and the expressions were good too, it really is just that nagging point I have with it. We'll see how the next few chaps go I guess but not expecting much tbh

Dandadan Ch159

while this was inevitable and I knew it was a matter of time til it happened it really took me by surprise to see it happen now. Ofc I could see the build up in the few pages before it but still I don't remember if I've talked about this arc so far but it's been pretty cool, basically jumanji but instead of the game coming out they go inside the game. It's had a buncha cool ideas and the new chara with powers is a nice guy too

Ring.A.Bell Epilogue

Time: (A few days after the PV shoot.)

Midori: Eeeh… That’s a bit embarrassing. Isn’t there a more light-felt wording…?

Mao: (Man, how far did I get in this series...? Up to volume five, I think?)

... Mm? Huh?! A zashiki-warashi?! ...Ah, no, it's just Takamine. You really scared me, man~.

What're you doing crawling around between the bookshelves like that?

Midori: I-Isara-senpai!? N-nothing in particular, really…!

Mao: Ohhh? You're actin' pretty sus right now, Takamine... What's that behind your back, then~?

Midori: I’m not hiding anything…! D- don’t come over here…!

Mao: What's wrong~? You don't gotta hide anything from me, y'know? We're in the same club together, so lemme take a peek.

Midori: That’s no different than being a total stranger…! Don’t come any closer!

Mao: Aww, don't be so cold~. Fufufu, c'mon now~.

Midori: Uwaaa!

Leo: Shut your traps! You're stoppin' the birth of a new masterpiece!

Midori: Hiiek!? Eh, Tsukinaga-senpai? I didn’t even realize you were here…

Leo: What the hell's wrong with you two? All your noise is throwin' off my groove! I looked allllll over for a quiet place to compose! You'd better say your prayers, 'cause I'm ready to kill anyone who messes with my process!

Mao: Yikes, sorry... It's not like we disturbed you on purpose. We didn't even know you were here.

Leo: Oh yeah? What're you two doin' here anyway?

Mao: I usually come here to check out manga... but then Takamine started acting all suspicious, so I thought I'd mess with him a bit and we ended up gettin' carried away, ahaha...

Midori: I’m not acting sus or whatever… Really. Not at all.

Leo: Mm~? You're lookin' away... That is pretty fishy, huh~? What're ya hidin' from us!

Midori: Uwaaa!!? S-stop…!

Mao: What'd you drop... an envelope?

Leo: O~ho? It's got "To my older brother" on it.

Midori: Fuck… Yeah, that’s right. I was writing my brother a letter here. There are other people lurking around in the dorm rooms, so it felt hard to write with all those eyes all over me.

Leo: Jeez, that’s all? What were you hidin' it for, huh? There's nothin' wrong with writing your bro a letter! What's it about anyway?

Midori: Well… Up to now I only thought about myself; pouted to my brother leaving home without hesitation and all but…

When we were doing that job, It’s like I understood a part of what my brother was feeling…

My brother must’ve also had so many worries and so much to think of, but he still decided to get married and stuff.

Even after all he’s done, having a brother who won't give him his blessings must’ve hurt a little… That’s why I thought I should finally stop throwing a tantrum like a little kid

But saying that stuff to his face is a bit embarrassing… So I thought, “Hey, why not say congratulations in a letter?”.

Mao: Aww, that's great! Hurry up and finish it, then. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to get it.

Midori: I was planning on finishing it quickly, but then my senpais got in my way a little, you know…?

Mao: Sorry, my bad. I never thought you'd be writing a letter though~.

Leo: Wahahah! ☆ I'm sorry for troublin' you too!

Midori: Sigh… It’s fine, whatever.

It’s kind of relieving to have been found out. Writing a letter while trying to hide it from everyone was hard.

Mao: Man... So your brother's ceremony's coming up soon?

Midori: Yes. The official day isn’t planned yet though.

Mao: Gotcha, gotcha... So~, Takamine, are ya gonna cry at the wedding~?

Midori: …

… There’s no way I’ll cry though?

Mao: Really~? But the way you hesitated was pre~tty suspicious...♪

Leo: Wahaha! This guy's definitely gonna cry!

Midori: …Grrr. You both tease me like this, but your sisters will someday be brides, y’know? Don’t come crying rivers to me then.

Mao: Well... I guess I've never thought about it before, actually~. How about you, Tsukinaga-senpai?

Leo: (Gross sobbing) Ru... Ruka-tan... gettin' married?! Of course I'd cry! Waaahaahaaaaaaaa!

Mao: Yikes, he's already bawling! C'mon, it's just a thought, don't cry at your own imagination!

Midori: You were both teasing me so I wanted to get back at you but… Now it feels like I made you cry on purpose…

Umm. I’m sorry for making you cry…?

Leo: Ha! There it is, there it is! It's swelling up within me! In-spi-ra-tiooooon!

I'll call it "Congrats, Big Bro"!

Midori: Eh…? The hell is that…?

Leo: Just gimme five mins! I'll have it done in a flash!

Midori: Five minutes… What are you, instant ramen? But who’d want a cheap instant song like that…?

Leo: Wahaha! ☆ It's fine, don't worry~! I'm a genius, after all! It'll be the best song in the world because it'll be done in five minutes!

Mao: Ahaha, that's nice, huh? How about we all get together and surprise him with a song? ♪

Midori: Eeeh~...?

Well, fine… This kind of gift is only possible because I’m an idol here, after all.

With that, I’ll have my brother be proud of having me as his little brother…♪

Mao Leo Eichi and Arashi tl: Peace

Midori and Keito tl: me

CROSS FIRE: Epilogue 1

Madara: Well then, shall we get going, ‘Leader’?

Kuro: Yep. I’ll be countin’ on ya, ‘Leader’.

Scenario Writer: Kino Seitarou (with Akira) Season: Summer Characters: Kiryu Kuro, Mikejima Madara, Nagumo Tetora, Sazanami Jun, Otogari Adonis 

<A few days later. During the filming of the CROSS FIRE Promotional Video.>

Adonis: Fufu. So, here you are as well, Anzu. I’m really glad I was able to work together with you thanks to this recent Shuffle Project. 

Once the shooting of this video is over, most of the work for this job will be completed; only the main show will be left. I can’t help feeling a little dejected about it, but still—

Thank you for giving us such a fun job to work on, Anzu.

And, although you may be feeling a little uncomfortable on this set filled with men, I hope you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the show anyway. 

Jun: Thanks for all your hard work, Anzu. I’m all changed into my outfit too. 

It has been a truly wonderful opportunity to witness Anzu’s talents as a Producer up close and personal through this Shuffle Project. I’d definitely have to thank Ibara and Ohiisan for their pushiness based on that alone, huh!

Nope, it’s nothing. I’m just talking to myself, please ignore me ♪

Come to think of it—this outfit has a really foreign style, doesn’t it? Or should I say it has a fantasy feel instead? 

Madara: Well, it’s an image PV we’re filming after all, so they’ll definitely want the storyline to stand out from reality so as to grab everyone’s attention. 

The concept is about two factions fighting in a temple——

It seems Anzu-san decided on the casting direction after learning about the showdown between Kuro-san and me. However, we reeeally didn’t expect it to fit so well with the ‘anything goes’ spirit of CROSS FIRE!

Kuro: ‘Anything goes’, you don’t say. That only takes me back to the practice match we had the other day. 

I honestly didn't expect ya to bust out so many moves I’d never seen before—or that you would throw in a whole bunch of mind games to boot. The match ended up bein’ such a mess, or I should say—

Ugh—We ended up turnin’ the match into such a terrible mud-fight, hittin’ out at each other’s weaknesses. I don’t ever wanna have to fight like that ever again. 

Madara: Haha! Ohhh, come on now, Kuro-san. You say that, but weren’t you enjoying yourself thoroughly back then, too? 

It’s unfortunate the match resulted in yet another draw due to the time running out, but with this, there are no longer any regrets or grudges between us now! Most importantly, we managed to have fun during the match without any injuries at aaall!

All’s well that ends well! Don’t you think so too~, Kuro-san?

Kuro: Tch! Where do you get the bare-faced cheek to be sayin’ such chummy words? It’s obvious as hell you were mercilessly aimin’ fer my face back then.

It’s true though—I’m really glad neither of us got hurt as well. If we’d gotten injured, we wouldn’t be able to carry out the rest of our work after that.  

Jun: Ahaha! All of us in the audience really enjoyed watching that white-hot match as well!

It was so entertaining to watch Mikejima-senpai fight, switching up tactics and techniques so as to not let his opponent have a break. 

Nagumo-kun has been going around Seisoukan, enthusiastically telling everyone he meets about how amazing Kiryu-senpai’s performance was, too ♪

Kuro: Oi, Tetsu. Don’t go around broadcasting the incident far and wide like that. You’ll have people wonderin’ why you’re still gettin’ excited over a fist-fight at yer age. 

Tetora: T—that’s not true. In fact, I think it’s something to be proud of!

I’m sure I won’t be forgetting about that match anytime soon. Every single move Taisho made has been deeply etched into my memory!

I really wish the filming would start quickly so I can start moving my body too. I just can’t endure waiting any longer! ♪

Kuro: Oh, is that so? Well, if Tetsu’s that happy fer my sake, I guess that’s a good thing too. 

Even so, you better not be dwellin’ too deeply in the achievements of the past, because we have a job to do in front of us today. 

Tetora: Of course! I’ve already thoroughly memorised the job flow and can start filming right away!

Mikejima-senpai and the others, who’ve spent several years wandering after refusing to abide by the teachings of the temple, will return to stand in front of Taisho once again——I can’t help but remember the practice match with this setting; it’s such a thrilling setup that stirs the blood!

Adonis: Haha~! Are we going to have a rematch with each other so soon? We definitely won’t lose to you this time. 

I was worried about how I would fare at first, because I don’t have any experience in acting. However, I’ve heard this image PV will not be using our voiced lines directly as they are. 

Thanks to that, I’ll be able to put all my focus into the action. 

Jun: Hehe! That’s what you say, Otogari-san, but haven’t you been fervently memorising your lines? I saw you murmuring your lines to yourself when we were doing our muscle training together.

I guess deep inside, you must be thinking it would be such a shame if you couldn’t do justice to your character, right~?  

Adonis: Fufu~. You might be right about that.

However, I do think that it would be enough to do just that for this job, this time. 

Witnessing Kiryu-senpai and Mikejima-senpai’s battle up close has got even me wanting to speak to everyone in BUTOUKAI through the language of fists, too. 

Pitting oneself against the other in a contest of strength bound by the spirit of sportsmanship seems to be like… … a way to connect with your opponent’s heart, or something close to it.

Jun: Don’t say it like it has nothing to do with us, Otogari-san. This time, we’ll all be fighting together, too.

Although we’re just a shooting a promotional video and not having an actual showdown, I’m really looking forward to sparring with Nagumo-kun during the filming. ♪

Tetora: Fufu! I’m gonna have to apologize to Senpai beforehand, cos I’ve been training my body fastidiously for this day, so I definitely won’t be losing to anyone in a battle of strength ♪

Madara: Umu! It’s great that everyone’s is so fired up. ♪ We trulyyy are the Shuffle Unit of comrades who share the common interest of muscle training, indeed!

Well then, shall we get going, ‘Leader’?

Kuro: Yep. I’ll be countin’ on ya, ‘Leader’.

Madara: … … Hahaha. Doesn’t it feel reeeally weird to be having two Leaders?

Are you truly fine with this? If we were to judge solely on the content of the practice match, I would feel Kuro-san had the upper hand.

Kuro: Nah. The results are the results, aren’t they? It’s totally on me fer not bein’ able to KO ya.

This ain’t the Dragon King Competition where victory can be decided by superiority. Let’s have a showdown to determine the true victor in the future, however many years from now. 

Madara: Ho~. That sounds like a reeeally distant future, indeed! I’ll be happy to accept your challenge anytime you want to, though!

Kuro: There’s no need for ya to be holdin’ yer breath for that. I already said I’ve had my fill of fightin’ with ya, haven’t I?

Besides… …

Madara: Huh? Besides—? 

Kuro: Nah, it ain’t nothing at all.

Madara: Mu. It looked like you were about to say something, though? What is it? Keeping secrets is reeeally bad, you know~?

Kuro: It ain’t what you’re thinkin’ at all. It just sounds pretty dumb if I were to say it out loud, that’s all.  

Madara: Haha! Can it be you’ve been wanting for us to be Leaders together from the very start, Kuro-san? Wow~, I’d be very happy if that were true~ ♪

Kuro: Well, that’s pretty much it. You and I are comrades in training after all, so let us support each other as we run down this final stretch, like bosom buddies will. 

(… … Haha. I say that, but honestly, I wouldn’t have been able to keep everything together if you hadn’t been here to share the leadership role too, Mikejima. 

If I had to manage the demands of the CROSS FIRE management execs, as well as those of everyone here in BUTOUKAI as Leader on my own, it would’ve been way too much for my body to handle.

Practice and singing, shooting the PV and performing as round boy… … And on top of that, after the practice match became such a hot topic, a slew of special programmes were hastily added as lead-ups to the main show as well… 

We were already hella busy enough as it were.

Haha~! I guess it’s because this Shuffle Unit’s a one-off job, so everyone ended up being way greedier than usual, wanting to experience more things. I’m really fortunate to have such a reliable ally by my side ♪) 

Madara: … …? What’s going on, Kuro-san?

Kuro: Nah, it’s nothin’ ♪

Let’s announce the heroic figures of our BUTOUKAI with a resounding roar to the world. 

Madara: Yes, let’s. The enemies of yesterday are the friends of today; Let's go capture our amazing synergy and teamwork on camera. ♪

Translator’s Notes: 

[xxshadow-crysta1zxx]

no games give me purecacao right now crystal /j (if not you can just do seamoon) x3

sending lots of loooveee!! thanks for supporting my account 😋😋 i'll support yours too <33333

Yasss ofc! Lots of luv with this too!(Heading by the person who requested this😍)

PureCacao headcanons

Because I’m dumb :)

Dark Cacao (or emo mf)

If PV is just being emo(it happens more often than u think oml-), he’ll try his best to comfort him and fails *miserably*, but PV still feels better after. Somehow-

Gives PV mini kisses sometimes. It gets really random-

He’s an idiot who acts hard on the outside but once you get to know him he’s more… soft? When he’s alone with PV, he’ll want his cuddles😍

My guy is protective here. Try making PV uncomfortable, and you shall not see the day light again.

He’ll do anything he can to help PV if needed.

A teddy bear in armour lmao. He likes aesthetics for some weird reason.

If PV can’t sleep, he’ll make some hot chocolate because my man’s a cacao bean💀

He tends to overthink about safety if their doing something dangerous.

Keeps his sword away if PV doesn’t want to see it lmao

If PV’s being paranoid, he’ll stay with him until he feels better or falls asleep.

If PV falls asleep on him, he’ll just wait for him to wake up or carry him to bed, depending on the situation.

Understands ✨Signals✨. He knows what to do depending on PV’s mood.

He’s normally the one that cooks lmao-

If PV is sick or anything, he’ll just help to clean the house because germs exist.

Pure Vanilla (aka sunshine man)

Would most likely be the one to keep both him and Dark Cacao up at night

Gives DC his cuddlesss

When DC is cooking, he might wrap his arms around DC and just let him cook like that lmao-

Slightly protective, will ask people who are simping for cacao to _Fuck off_, but in a nice way 😀

Whenever he wants to do something, Dark Cacao would try and help with whatever he can, so basically; he kinda gets everything Lmao-

Is the one who drives🤩

He would cry about something for a few days and forget about it after a while. Dark cacao doesn’t really care because he’s happy tho

Would bring wild/hurt animals inside the house sometimes lol
