empatheorem event guide

Wang Yi

powers

magical wig (changes his looks to 1 specific blond-haired girl) 10min/day

mind control (no memory manipulation) 30min/day

ice manipulation (weak ice attacks) 5x/day

mental connection with S-0 ("Sao Ling"), his Villain System taken on the form of a pudgy black cat [he's...somewhere in the city]

mannerisms

varies between very formal and relaxed body language depending on who he's with, naturally fluid/graceful due to years of swordfighting and training, excellent balance and reflexes. speech is straightforward and blunt, tends to ask people about things he doesn't understand because communication is the only hope he has of "getting it."

lies as naturally as he breathes, smiles as naturally as he lies.

lacks the ability to properly experience feelings, but does a freakin' good job acting like he does; must work hard very consciously to retain "normal reactions" (and it works better with closer friends, e.g. eiden/nicolette/zhilan); without effort he just comes off as cold

knows sarcasm, tries not to overuse it.

tends to panic when things/events/dialogue goes beyond his control/expectations, or when people misunderstand him, or when anyone gets too intimate/physically close, but is also experienced at reining his reactions back in. when temper triggered, gets very loud and yell-y. may be a different, more visual way of expressing his "panic" instead.

has a specifically complicated attitude towards xerxes break that isn't quite pity, but also isn't dislike. for now it borders on resigned indifference (will still save him w/o reservations if dude's in danger though). 80% of his sarcasm output now goes here.

closet sadist who enjoys seeing people in pain. he's quite self-conscious about this and tries to hide it whenever he can.

memories

original life - digital System in charge of overseeing transmigrators' lives in novels (very vague and mostly incoherent)

human life - college student majoring in chemistry. witnessed his classmates die in a horrific accident, currently trying to reverse that.

novel 1 - sadistic big brother of a rich family

novel 2 - heartless city lord of a zombie apocalypse world + death

novel 3 - genius scientist of a secret underground lab + death

novel 4 - prodigy disciple of an aloof cultivation master (in progress)

icons

i can give u the ones he's using for his current look (long hair) tho there's a few short-haired ones mixed in that you can ignore hehe

what doesn't kill you // part 6

you had your whole life planned out for you; start an agency with your best friend, scale the charts and make japan your bitch. but when a tragic accident leaves you incapacitated and out of a job, you find you just need to start fresh. you cut ties–and for two years, you've all but disappeared. until they need you again and come knocking at your door.

bakugo x retiredpro!reader

prologue ✧ previous ✧ next

"We can't tell him are you crazy?!" The words were half whispered and half shouted.

"He won't tell anybody!"

"Yes he will?? He'll tell the one person I'm doing this to avoid! Or even if he doesn't, he'll tell Kirishima which is the same as telling Katsuki anyway!"

Kaminari fidgeted awkwardly in the corner, eyes flicking from you to his girlfriend.

"He wouldn't do that! He's dense but he's not a jerk!" She insisted.

He kept his lips pressed tightly together, mouth sealed shut. He knew better than to open his mouth.

You sighed, dragging your hands down your face.

Unfortunately, Jirou did not hold the authority necessary to wipe your information from the commission either.

Her stupid, blonde, boyfriend–who was friends with your stupid, blonde... ex-coworker–did.

"Is there any other way?"

She shook her head. "He'd figure it out on his own anyway by what we're asking of him. If you want your info wiped, this is your ticket."

Katsuki Bakugo was a lot of work–but hiding from him seemed to be only more so.

After a long, exasperated groan, you had given her the go ahead, and she had explained to her boyfriend first that she'd kill him if he ratted, and then what you needed of him.

He had been... surprisingly understanding. Vowed not to speak a word of it to anyone, and then started the couple day long process of removing the last traces of the late fourth prohero from the database.

In the meantime, you had more methodically and thoroughly packed your bags, Jirou managing to convince you to stay a week longer.

"I can wipe it," Kaminari had told you, more seriously than you'd ever seen him. "But I can't cover anything up."

"What?"

"I can take the last traces of you–your bank accounts, your old records, your phone numbers and emails, and I can delete them." He explained. "But that really is the only way I can get rid of them. I'd be really deleting them. I can't just hide them. And you would have to be ready for that, and then you'd have to do the same with all your loose ends."

You paused, confusedly nodding. He seemed rather pressed about something that mattered rather little to you. You knew that going in to this you'd have to give up your home, probably a majority of your wealth, your job, everything. You knew what you were signing up for.

He shook his head. You weren't getting it. He turned to Jirou for help.

"Your friends, L/n." She spoke with a sigh. "You're doing this to get away from Bakugo, but you'd have to leave behind everyone else as well. Midoriya, Todoroki, you'd have to say goodbye to them all."

Oh. Another thorn in your already mauled side.

"You don't have to go through with this."

But what was the alternative? Stay here where every look you got was just an elaborate way of being pitied?

"Do what you have to do."

That night, you had cried for them. For them all. Midoriya and Todoroki of course, Bakugo, as well as all the acquaintances and kind faces you had met along the way.

The tears were salty and stung, but you let them fall. Didn't wipe them or will them dry. You just sat there in it. And when they finally stopped of their own accord, you took it as your sign to leave.

You would cry no more tears over a life that no longer wanted you.

You'd just go build yourself another.

Kaminari and Jirou were the only ties to your last life you were allowed to keep–save for a couple of photographs and other small possessions.

"We'll come back and visit every weekend."

"God, you better."

You were all sitting together on your new couch, mugs of hot cocoa in each person's hands as some movie none of you were watching played on the screen.

Tears were lurking just behind your eyes, waiting for the slightest inconvenience to begin to leak out.

Jirou nudged you with her side. "So what are you gonna do now? To fill the time and all that?"

That... was something you had been thinking about for a while now. Hero work had been your life. You spent about every waking hour either on the field or training for when you would be. It made sense, you were beyond talented, but you had very few hobbies because of it.

"I suppose I'll... look for a job? Maybe make some new friends here? Just start fresh and see where it goes."

You had been forced to give up all of your old bank accounts, choosing to bestow most of your wealth upon Jirou and Kaminari while leaving a good chunk of it for charity.

You had also managed to wire a decently sized amount into a new account you retained access to. Hence, work would not be for the money aspect, but rather for the social connection and fun of it.

"We'll miss you in Musutafu." Kaminari said with a sad shake of his head. "The top ten is just going to be a bunch of sweaty men again."

Jirou snorted. "Like you're not one of said sweaty men?"

"It's alright, I'm sure Jirou'll make it there soon enough." You said with a laugh.

You held the mug in your hands a little tighter as you thought about how the hero ranking might change with you gone.

Bakugo's mug. You had brought it simply because you couldn't imagine leaving it.

Perhaps Redriot would fill your spot in the charts. Or Lemillion.

But perhaps more importantly, you wondered who would fill your shoes at the Dynadelia agency.

God, Bakugo was a jerk.

But you couldn't help but wish him the best.

[ayamari-no-goshi]

AU scene inspired by a convo with a friend this week:

After the end of UtRH, Bruce never told anyone about the revelation of who was under that helm (for this, the attack on Titan’s Tower never happens) and instructs Alfred to keep quiet.

Years go by, and Red Hood becomes nothing but a sidenote. Bruce doesn’t know what became of Jason, and is half convinced the person he fought wasn’t really his son. He keeps an ear out for rumors, but there are more important things to focus on.

Insert some elaborate scheme from the Joker where Bruce and at least Dick and Tim are there.

Joker: we have quite the little reunion here. Too bad we’re missing one of the little birds. Say, whatever happened to him after our last meeting, Batsy?

Dick, pissed: did he mean that little to you that you forgot you killed him?

Joker, grinning: oh? Didn’t daddy bats tell you? The little bird who’s darling mother sold him to me to save her own skin somehow crawled out of his grave and came back donning my old moniker. It was really something, let me tell you. Though I still can’t get over the leather. It’s not a choice I’d ever make

Dick, now processing the info about Jason’s mother, him coming back to life, and remembering a certain crime lord who appeared and disappeared mysteriously: if you forgot, the last time you mentioned him, I nearly killed you. I don’t appreciate the lies

Joker: no lies this time, boy blunder. Tell him Batsy

Bruce, after feeling Dick’s death glare: the crime lord, Red Hood, did claim to be the second Robin

Joker, tutting: now Batman, you know as well as I do that was your kid. And for all his posturing, that plan of his was an elaborate cry for help.

Tim, glancing between the Joker, Bruce, and Dick: what plan?

Bruce: he was going to kill the Joker, and I stopped him

Joker, cackling; it was so much more than that. He gave you three choices: 1) kill me 2) stop him from killing me or 3) walk away and let him kill me. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure your little bird wanted to know if you valued me over him. I mean, you did leave him alone to chase after a truck you believed I was in the day he died, right?

Dick, to Bruce: you said you stopped him…?

Before Bruce can say anything, the Joker interrupts: oh! You should have seen it! He threw one of his Batarangs and sliced open his own kid’s neck! And then he just left him there to die as the entire building came down. But me? Ol’ Batsy made sure we can continue our dance. I can’t imagine how the kid felt knowing his father figure chose me over him for a second time

And this would be about when the Joker would be punched in the face.

[alchemyfreak321]

Recently my cousin got engaged, his fiancee got him a watch and he got her a gold chain. Which they put on eachother in front of their families and bada-bing bada-boom they're engaged! Because in my culture we don't really have engagement rings (atleast we didn't, it's becoming more of a thing with the newer gen). Anyway, all this to say, it got me wondering how the 141 would propose and with what kind of ring. So here are some more headcannons!

Price - no point in reinventing the wheel, the man is a traditionalist. He'll get permission from your dad, then plan out a romantic dinner, probably at the same restaurant he took you on your first date, and get down on one knee and present you with his great-great-grandmothers ring. And it's probably giant sapphire or emerald with a cluster of diamonds around it and a simple gold band, a real vintage victorian ring.

Gaz - spends months secretly prying details of your dream ring and proposal out of you. You don't even realize what you've told him. After he gets all the info, he designs it himself. Delicate band in the metal you always wear, with the stone you he saw you looking at one too many times and cut you mentioned offhandedly. As for the actual engagement, he gets permission from your parents and your best friend then he takes you to the beach, park or the grand canyon, somewhere real picturesque. And even though he seems perfectly suave on the outside, he's a nervous wreck on the inside. Has the 141 on site for moral support, feeding him advice and jokes through the discreet ear piece. Price herding away other visitors, Ghost standing guard making sure no other visitors go near the area and Soap in the bushes with bff and a camera, ready to capture the moment.

Ghost - okay I imagine him as a huge fantasy nerd, and the biggest lord of the rings fan. Something something bad childhood and escapism. He doesn't get you a engagement ring, he just straight up designs matching wedding bands. He wears them both along with his dogtags until he is ready to propose. And he was ready to propose he heard about others elaborate proposals and engagement rings. He hadn't planned any funfairs, he just wanted to spend the rest of his life with you. But now he's wondering if he's depriving you of a whirlwind romance with someone who could give you more stability and less baggage. And he pulls away, trying to plan an elaborate proposal but nothing feels right. One day, after a particularly bad deployment, you come over with takeout, snacks and the extended edition of the lord of the rings. You don't ask anything or say anything, just start the movie and cuddle up on the couch with him. As he watches you tear up watching Boromir defend the hobbits, the rings burns a hole on his skin. He decides he can't wait anymore. He pulls the rings out and wordlessly slips it on your ring finger and kisses away your surprise. "Marry me." He whispers against your lips when you finally pull away. When you agree and tackle kiss him on the couch, he lets out a sigh of relief, letting out the tension he didn't realize he was holding. Later when you exam the simple band you notice there's a inscription etched on the inside. "I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone."

Soap - the man fell in love when you first smiled at him, said the three words after you two first slept together and was ready to propose after the third date. He actually did ask you to marry him after the third date but you thought he was joking. He wasn't though, he went back home during one of his leaves and begged his mother to give him the family ring. He has the ring with him when he enters the London tunnels.

[tea-coven]

I've been kinda hesitant to share this because I don't want to leak any personal info of anyone or myself, but I think I formatted it in a way that's respectful :>

About a year ago I attended my pediatrician, a lovely older woman who always made me feel really comfortable and I had a lot of fun talking with (which is rare for a doctor!). I was in my senior year of high school and she began asking typical college questions near the end of the appointment. Eventually she got to the expected, "-and what are you planning on majoring in?", I told her "2D animation!" I began to elaborate, as a lot of people I talked to about it usually needed me to explain what that meant, like cartoons, princess and the frog, etc. Eventually she spoke up in an "Ah!" manner, and excitedly said "Like Disney channel!".

This is went the story goes insane for me. And lead me to nearly passing out.

She states "you can make a lot of money off of those, very lucrative, congrats!". I was...confused. Most animators aren't known for their salaries and I wanted to know where she got the idea. She said "well my best best friend's kid, basically my godson haha, makes a lot off of it. He actually made a show on Disney!" (It was really sweet how proud she seemed, while still casual) I was pretty intrigued about this, and since I knew a good amount of animated shows and am really passionate about the subject, asked "what show? I probably have seen or heard of it!" (Especially since she said "made" and not "worked on"). She begins to go on about how she isn't sure if it's super well known or anything, but after more prodding (not malicious, I just was curious/ wanted learn about how he started), she goes

"Well I don't remember the name or much about it, but I do know that it stars twins, cause he himself is one." She began to go on about him, wanting to visit, and general stories about her and her friend. Small talk!

Unfortunately, I had froze, and also became increasingly grateful that I was in a doctors clinic.

I paused, and gently asked "is he...Alex Hirsch?"

"Oh you know him!"

"His show is gravity falls...it like, is the reason I'm so passionate about animating, story telling, etc. he's the reason I'm going to school for this."

She began to look a little confused while I talked, as I think she started realizing that this was not a small show. I speak up (albeit a little starstruck) telling her about how most my friends also really love the show. She had seen some of my work before, and began discussing how she was "sure he'd be as big a fan as her". (I don't say this in a parasocial, or bragging way btw, i just again found her really sweet and fun, and this a cute interaction)

The appointment was pretty much over by this point, but before I left she said "I'll give him a call and tell him about you! I'm sure he'd be flattered." I, as any 18 year old aspiring animator, go into a RATIONAL fugue state.

As my dad and I were leaving, and he finished signing some paperwork, she came out of a room down the hall waving, and called my name

"I just called and told him about you! He was very flattered! Good luck!"

And I, as any 18 yo aspiring animator, did the rational response

And passed out in the car

Troy Calypso/Reader: Non-specific SFW and NSFW headcanons

>Masterpost | >Request Info

SFW

General

He is the possessive and obsessive type. Mostly because of his deep desire to be recognized, to be the only one in someone’s life for one and because of his insecurities, obviously. It's like finally getting his very first toy that belongs to him only, but in a more profound way. It just makes something snap in him, there’s finally something else he’s actually willing to fight for. Even being in a platonic relationship with him is rocky sometimes because he just won’t let you take a breather from his presence. I wouldn’t say Troy is a psycho-stalker-yandere-boyfriend (though stalker is not a word I’m averse to using in his case) because he has other things to worry about and also, funny enough, he wants it to be the only thing in his life that is just normal, but he WILL be going around threatening people and maybe killing someone occasionally if they did or said something.

This being said, I think he’s more into pursuing someone rather than being pursued because, due to years of neglect and living in the shadow of his sister, someone genuinely chasing him to build something real with him just throws Troy off. Not saying it won’t work entirely, but it’ll definitely take more time to accept it.

Annoying. Troy takes pleasure in getting any kinds of reactions out of you in a way that kinda resembles a teenager pestering his crush, lmao. Bear with him a little, he’s never had the chance to grow out of this phase because he’s never even been to middle- or highschool.

Good at remembering stuff about you. Especially if you’ve never even mentioned liking or doing something to him. He just knows. Look, it’s not weird he happened to overhear something over your ECHO or did research, okay?

Looks and acts like a soggy lovesick puppy sometimes despite the bravado, the God complex and his creepy, murderous tendencies.

Gets really fucking bold and imposing with his advances if you haven’t established anything before he acquired Maya’s siren powers for one reason or another. Almost scarily so. Power-high and all that. But it’s a thought for another h/c post or another 4K-worder, lol.

Vault Hunter Crush / S/O

CRAZY parasocial relationship on his part. The more this whole thing transcends the realm of it being an ironic ongoing gag where he pretends to fawn over a badass, brave VH (bonus points if, in reality, you’re the least capable, popular and/or mouthy of the bunch and he just thought it would be hilarious) for shits and giggles the more he actually looks like a fan.

Pales in horror once he realizes what is going on. Both because it makes things far too complicated and because it’s apparently “cringe”. Doesn’t even want to think about what his sister would say to this, although Tyreen for sure has known from the start. Gets anxious during major plot points of the game because he knows what comes next and how many followers they’ve sent after the Vault Hunters.

May have bought or made some merch. Mayhaps curates your wiki page.

Messages you from a couple of alternative accounts and anonymously sends little gifts. “From a fan! ;)”

I just keep thinking about how he reminds me of interactions with Lucas Baker. Now THAT’S the king of fucking with you and antagonizing from afar, and his part of the game is something what I would’ve wanted for Troy. Which is closely interacting with the player. Lucas literally built a whole escape room and a death game so he could torture the MCs for funsies. It would also be in-character for Troy to come up with an elaborate plan of how he could lure you out so he could get in close and maybe play with you a little. Nothing too dangerous, ofc. Well, maybe a little dangerous. Eh… just dangerous. But he’ll surely come to rescue!

COV member Crush / S/O

Has scared you out of your mind more times than it's necessary in the beginning of you working for the cult because he thinks it’s funny. Still applies to him being annoying to get your attention because he’s a troll and also kinda pitiful (hot). Everything also starts from a harmless crush or curiosity.

Blatantly demands your attention and gets all giddy when you want to hang out. Troy’s the type to whine if you say you have to go do something/complete a task Tyreen gives you mid hang out (or mid whatever amount of time he deems enough for him to be satisfied when you’re around). “What? Are you fucking kidding me? Already? No, no, stay longer, I want you to stay.” It’s especially bad if you’re cuddling or making out when the ECHO dings. He’s just not letting you go anywhere, plain and simple.

Every cult party is a struggle. A struggle to get him off of you? Fans off of him? Him off of the throats of men that hit on you? To manage both Tyreen and Troy actively seeking out your affections? Perhaps all of the above.

NSFW

This one may be weird to some but honestly… who cares…

Four words: Troy is a pervert. Thanks to many factors like finally being able to express and explore himself. Plus the game kinda actively poses the twins as sexually frustrated young people. Considering what the majority of Typhon’s logs sound like… It’s probably written in their DNA.

Has touched himself on call with you more times than he cares to admit. You’ll probably never know he does, due to him mastering keeping his voice in check, unless he wants to be discovered or slips up badly. The prospect of you catching on and the riskiness of it all just get his blood pumping. Same goes to him secretly using toys in public or during streams sometimes. He’s just depraved like that. Although he can give you the remote if you want.

“Insert to cuck” written next to one of the ports on C.H.A.Z. is probably just an edgy joke but I do believe he’s a voyeurist who occasionally uses surveillance to jerk off. And if we’re getting into other design choices… The D-ring being present on his collar/choker and absent on Tyreen’s is obviously a way to show him as the one who’s being led or guided out of the two, but hey… It doesn’t mean you can’t leash him anyway. He loves it.

“Explore each other’s bodies” at its finest. Though he's the one doing the exploring and watching for the most part. Troy would ask to see you naked in person even outside of a romantic relationship if he finds you attractive and gets the right opportunity. That’s what friends do, no? This mostly goes to him before Promethea and Eden-6. Just indulging in his desire to experience intimacy with someone he trusts. If you don’t immediately say no to the idea he almost orders you to sit on the computer desk and strip so he could see everything better from his chair. While you’re undressing, he casually watches, lets his hands wander or palms himself through the pants. All that until Troy gets so desperate to see and feel more he suggests he fingers you or something. And he just won’t stop commenting on everything while knuckle-deep in you even if you ask him to.

[cairavende]

Worm Arc 16 second half thoughts (after Defiant interlude, 16.7 to end):

I'm very glad I split this arc where I did cause WHAT THE FUCK

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK

Tattletale . . . the entire time . . . in secret!

And Coil's whole crazy plan at the town hall debate!

And and and Rachel held Taylor's hand and it was gay BUT IT WAS SAD GAY!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the bug box (I'm sorry, "The Famine Engine") what the fuck

And Taylor was shot and almost lit on fire and she become a fucking terror demon scary bug monster and got away from all the people and set off some grenades and and

passes out

...

ALSO MY DAUGHTER KILLED COIL! SHOT HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD!

Taylor sees her dad and argues with his friends a little and realizes that things aren't as clear as she thought they were maybe but whatever I just want to get to know Lacey better. For reasons.

I knew something would happen at the town hall. Once Dragon was taken care of I figured it would be Coil but I wasn't sure what he would do and I didn't expect this. I thought he would mostly be trying to take out Skitter or something.

Happy to see Uber and Leet again, even if they are working for the asshole. They are fun.

Getting more info on Leet's power and I'm even more fascinated then I was before. He couldn't make the teleporter work if it was putting the target into instant danger, like a bomb or a vat of acid. Wild. I wanna know more.

ALSO COIL LEGIT CONSIDERED DROPPING SKITTER INTO A VAT OF ACID!

He really did go full supervillain right at the end. Monologuing, using cheesy lines, stopping the execution of his enemies when one of them yells "Wait!" and letting them talk. Crazy elaborate plans. Good for him I guess.

The Wards new "teleport without swapping matter" tech is quite fancy and it can apparently do a heck of a lot of people at once! Which I could see becoming a big deal. I had initially assumed it was Kid Win who made it (since he did the same with is guns before) but with how stuff has bounced around I'm legit not sure.

OH AND I KNEW I LOVED CIRCUS FOR A REASON, WHAT A WONDERFUL LITTLE GENDERQUEER! THEY GET A PASS FOR STABBING SOME PEOPLE CAUSE THEY DESERVE TO GET TO STAB A FEW PEOPLE.

I had fully called Coil being Thomas Calvert by now, so that itself wasn't a surprise. But I hadn't expected Thomas to have gotten back to working with the PRT. Makes sense if he can make it work, that is a wonderful source of power.

Too bad Tattletale pulled the fucking rug out from under you Thomas!

Taylor leaving her dad at the hospital without stopping to see him is unfortunate I guess, but not really unexpected. I've kinda given up on their relationship getting repaired. Besides who needs Danny when shes got me!?

Oh and I guess Taylor can't really see now. Cool. I'm sure that will just get better right away with no issues! /s

I mean it isn't really a huge deal for her vs most people. But still.

OH AND SKITTER'S DEAL WITH COIL WHEN HE WAS GOING TO KILL THEM ALL INCLUDED "Ta

Oh and Skitter's deal with Coil to turn off the dead man's switch included "Take care of Bitch's dogs!" GAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

And "Tattletale gets to live!" like ya ok sure it was all so she could get Tattletale here and such I get that but whatever, it is also GAY! GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY!!!!!!!!!!

But for real Tats has been coming in with the fucking long con OH MY GOD. I legit didn't see it coming. Coil losing this arc? Sure, maybe not likely but possible. Coil dying? Again, was surprising but not shocking. But Tattletale having payed off have the mercs in a carefully planned coup in the works since Arc 3 at a minimum? Blindsided me. Just hit by a bus. HOLY SHIT!!!

Fake Skitter shot Bitch!!!! AHHHHH!!! But she was ok. And the speed of her accepting that real Skitter didn't do it and not staying mad at her!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Seriously though Skitter breaking out of the house she was teleported into and getting past all those troops? God. Using the swarm speech for physiological warfare? Chef's kiss

I wonder how Cauldron is feeling with Coil dead? I don't know exactly what they needed him for but he sure ain't doing it now.

And Dinah at the end!! Just me sobbing.

I'm sure the whole thing with Noelle (or should I use my cape name for her when she's on a rampage - Traveler in a Vault, or TiaV) will just blow over and won't be a bigger deal than arc 8 in the end. Everything is fine.

Marquis interlude thoughts:

TINY PRISON! I love tiny prison.

Look I'm sorry I don't make the rules but Marquis and Lung are totally gay for each other. They are both terrible people. I don't ship them because I want to, I ship them because there is no other option. I do what I have to do.

Glaistig Uaine is my new favorite. She is terrifying and I love her. Forget Bonesaw's passangers or Coil's agents, they're called head fairies now.

I'm sure Amy and Glaistig Uaine working together in the future won't be bad at all.

[schwarzenadler13]

sooo i'm on a dwk brainrot and despite having a fic started since 2014 that i should really finish...my brain has just come up with something else and i just need to get it out so i don't forget

soo what's the deal with horizon and the silberlichten? like??

i once read a post that went like "we have to pretend horizon is a normal girl that on holidays she just goes destroying teams as a hobby" or something like that; found it:

i agree, in my other fic she's just kinda a nature spirit/fey/witch/whatever in that line that's having fun in her own wicked way

like that dwk4 doesnt end with "oh, you chose love over revenge, i now love you uwu"

but more like "can't a nonhuman girl just have hobbies? even if those hobbies are destroying teams/relationships and getting a boy harem? why do humans have to ruin things?"

sooo she's now vengeful and slightly psycho against dwk (mainly the brothers)

*cue time travel and magic shenanigans and a bit of attempted murder*

(oh, and marlon as a hostage pissing her off)

but well, that wasn't the fic i was planning to talk about (maybe another day)

in this one, she's indeed a normal girl but the silberlichten are just minions of a greater evil, which i haven't really elaborated on and temporarily named them schattensucher

(yeah, they're not the vampires from dwk5 or maybe they are, just that they're not vampires, but something else entirely, more evil and less tragic)

sooo we're already on the weird/bizarre part of the timeline which involves magic, so fantasy route it is

the schattensucher want to unearth donnerschlag, which in the books is described as the stadium of all stadiums

so why not a magic stadium? it probably has some kind of hidden power they want or something (sorry, still working on the lore)

now donnerschlag just opens through a combination of four powers which are handed to four football teams by the football deities? could that even be a thing?

one was horizon's old team and she herself handed it to them

the second were the wolves and horizon just got it through engineering the erik/jaromir drama (this required trial and error which may explain the silberlichten)

third are dwk (which is why horizon pops up in ragnarok) and the last are the biester but horizon doesn't know that

she just knows, through ✨magic sense or whatever✨, that dwk have faced them so she wants to extract that info out of them

horizon's original plan is just repeating what she did to erik/jaromir with leon/marlon but she starts having her doubts about that working early on

first of all, there's the canon divergence of leonessa being broken up because this is fabi/leon

i even doubt they would come back together after dwk3, nessie isn't blind

that means we get a less dramatic dwk4 (is it even possible given it's so intertwined with the romantic drama?)

(the wessel brothers go beyond the mist either way)

anyway, horizon can't go the freya angle on them, leon only wants to defeat her and isn't thinking about anything else(?)

and while she can definitely charm and manipulate marlon, it's not a foolproof plan

(i like the perspective of magic being involved in this because marlon being about to betray everything due to crushing on a hot girl is not one of my favourite things)

(like sorry, i'd like to think he's smarter than that, he seems to be smarter than that)

(so horizon going slightly daughter of aphrodite on him makes sense)

sooo she decides to kill two birds with one stone and gathers all the magic she can

(i believe the forest beyond the mist is also kinda a magical weird place outside of space and time)

soo there's the lake scene where horizon confirms she won't be able to pull the same drama with them as leon isn't interested

then she changes route: she manipulates the lake as a portal and puts a tracking spell on leon, then manages to get him swallowed up by the water until he's gone

(and with this, this is like the...3rd? time horizon attempts to murder leon in both fics...yeah, the little shit is very much a favorite of mine lol)

(although it's not like she does this attempted drowning in order to kill him...unlike in the other fic)

meanwhile in hamm, the biester + fabi are just enjoying summer on the lake

that is until one of the girls goes "FABI! COME HERE!" and fabi just hasn't heard them as panicked ever so he's very concerned

he immediately panics as soon as he arrives because the girls are taking out a body out of the water, a body he knows

(i haven't scientifically nor medically proofed this so excuse me if this doesn't make sense)

and well, fabi may very well have had phases of frustration/dislike towards leon that led him to desire seeing him defeated and humiliated

but he has never wished for him to drop dead so he panickedly tries to wake him up

"if he has drowned, we should attempt mouth-to-mouth resuscitation" *all biester look at fabi to do it*

(he would curse them if the situation wasn't so dire)

he does, leon coughs but doesn't wake up but at least they know he's alive and take him to the quarry

and well, this is just part 1 because it has just gotten too long all of a sudden 😭 i'll continue soon

pd: i may not really remember fabi's whole outfit from dwk3, but in the fic i can only picture him wearing half-skirts in ateez hongjoong's fashion :D

It's Sunday, and I've decided to work an extra shift at the Café. Sundays are quite busy, and that means more money in my pockets. Luckily, there were no odd costumers this time around to bother me. I carry on with my work, and I'm able to earn a few tips as well.

My shift ends, and I go to the back to take off my uniform. As I take off the baby blue vest, one of the workers comes up to me.

"Great job out there, Aishi!"

"Thanks."

"You have a certain charm that makes people come back, you know?"

"Do I?"

"Yeah! And we really need it! Recently, a new place has opened up, and they're rivaling us with sweets."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's the Odayaka Bakery."

"I've heard of it."

"Yeah, it's grown popular, but we've got cute waiters, so we at least beat them at something."

"Right."

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Aishi."

He walks away as I fold my vest and put it in my bag. I grab my bag and walk out the entrance with it. When I leave the restaurant, I'm met with the bright lights of the shopping strip. It's crowded like always, but it is Sunday, so it's expected. I walk down the sidewalk, but as I walk out of the area and into a more residential area, I notice an alleyway filled with men.

I stop in my tracks and look towards the dark alleyway. Within the alley, I see a few men dressed in suits. They are talking with one another, but the one closest to the entrance of the alley notices me.

"What do you want?" He asks me in a gruff voice.

I don't respond and carry on walking. I wonder if they are what I think they are?

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

It's Monday, and I regret taking the extra shift. I'm tired, and I can barely pay attention to anything. I sit in the courtyard with Taro. He's reading some type of book, and I'm just looking at the cherry blossom petals rain down from the trees. I would use this time to watch over Taeko, but I know she's with (Y/N). Ever since I told Osano to back off from Taeko, she's been hanging out with (Y/N) more than ever. I guess my plan backfired on me, but at least I gained a new friendship.

From the corner of my eye, I see a boy walking with a tray. He walks up to me and Taro, and I get to have a better look at him. He has short light brown hair, a mint green handkerchief on his head, with a matching apron, he doesn't have the school jacket on but he is wearing a white long-sleeved button up, he also has a red armband indicating that he is a club leader.

"Would you like one?" He asks us, as he shows us a tray filled with mini cakes.

"Sure," Taro says as he reaches to get one. I reach out to get one, too. The boy walks off once we take one.

He must be the cooking club leader.

As I eat the mini pastry, I feel a vibration coming from my pocket. I take out my phone, and I see it's a message from Info.

I see that you already talked with him.

With who?

Amao Odayaka.

What about him?

I saw something on Friday.

And you're telling me now?

I wanted you to know who he was first.

What did you see?

I saw him getting close with your Senpai.

Elaborate.

Your poor Senpai was saddened at Osano's behavior, and Amao noticed this as he passed by her. He sat down with her and gave her a few of his pastries.

So what about it?

He loves her. I listened in on a few of his conversations this morning, and he seems to have taken a liking to her. He is going to confess to her this Friday, so take care of it.

My eyes widen at the last message. Do I really have another rival already? I clench my phone in frustration, and Taro takes notice.

"What happened, Ayato?" He asks me as he looks away from his book.

"Nothing," I bluntly reply.

I'll need to figure this out soon.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

During class time, I was figuring out a plan to take down Odayaka. I decided that I won't harm him. I'm not going to kill him, but I am going to hurt him in a different way.

It's lunchtime and I went straight to the first floor. As I reach the last step, I see (Y/N) going into the nurse's office. I go past it since he isn't my target at the moment. I turn the corner where the cooking club is, and I take a look inside. Inside of the club, I see Odayaka making more mini cakes. I see this as an opportunity.

I walk inside of the club, and he turns around.

"Oh! Hi, there agian!" He says with a bright smile and small wave.

"Hey, I was wondering if you're the cooking club leader?" I ask even though I already know the answer to the question.

"Yup! I'm the leader. Is there anything you need?" He asks me.

"Yeah, I've been meaning to join a club, but I'm not sure which one yet. I was just wondering if you could introduce me to this club so I can know it better?" I ask, setting my plan into motion.

"Of course! I'll show you what the cooking club is all about!"

Odayaka ushers me over to where he is making the mini cakes.

"You can help me make these mini cakes and give them out to other people! Let's get started!" He says with the same bright smile from earlier.

He starts to instruct me on what to do, and I grab all the items I need. I start to make the mini cakes with him, but as we work, I decide to ask him a few questions.

"Your name sounds familiar. Are you connected with the local bakery?" I ask him.

"Yes! My family runs that bakery. We just opened up recently, and we are already having great success! The reason I didn't show up to school right away after the break was because I was helping them with the opening," he explains to me.

As he speaks about his family's bakery, I notice a glimmer in his eyes and how happy he sounds to be talking about the bakery. That's when it hits me, I've found what I've been looking for.

"The bakery is still new, so our security system really isn't the best. But with all the money we're making, I'm sure that we can get a new one soon," he rambles on.

"That sounds great..," I tell him,"I'm all done. What do I do now?"

"Start giving them to people, I'm sure everyone would enjoy an extra snack!"

I nod before taking the tray and walking out of the club room. I start to give the mini sweets to everyone I see, and not before long, the tray is empty. I go back to the club room.

"Oh! You're back!" He happily tells me.

I hand the trey back to him.

"How did you like it?" He asks me with hope in his eyes.

"I thought it was fun," I lie to him.

"That's great. Do you want to join?"

"I first want to go to the sports club and see what they have."

"That's fine! I'm just happy you enjoyed yourself."

I nod at him before turning around and walking out of the club room.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

After school, I go to the hardware store. I have a list of what I need, and I go around the store getting each one of them. When I leave the store, I have bolt cutters, wire cutters, a pair of gloves, and a hammer.

I'm ready to hurt Odayaka.

I go home and change into the same outfit I wore when I broke into the stalker's home. I grabbed a backpack from my closet and dump all the items inside. I make sure to grab my lock pick from Info, and I then leave my house and head to the bakery.

When I make it to the bakery, I see that the street is empty. It isn't as busy as I thought it would be, but in the distance, I see the bakery. I walk over to it, and I start to examine it.

How do I get inside?

I need to be sneaky, and I need to shut off the weak security, too. I should start there first.

I make my way towards the building and go to the back of it. When I make it to the back, I can see the breaker box. It's locked up so no one can tamper with it, but that won't be a problem for me.

I take off my backpack and take out the bolt cutters. I line up the lock with the bolt cutters and press down on the handle of the bolt cutters. The lock falls to the ground with a thud. I kick the lock to the side and pop open the breaker box. When I open up the box, I'm meet with different wires.

I don't know what to do at this point, so I take out my hammer. I start to smash the inside of the breaker box, I even rip the wires out with hands and throw them to the floor. I smash the box until it's beyond repair.

Once I'm happy with my destruction, I go over to the back door, that's next to the breaker box, and I pick the lock. The door opens up, and I step inside with my backpack.

When I make it inside, I can't help but to smile. The bakery is now in my hands, and nobody can stop me. I look towards the two security cameras. One is pointing at the entrance, and the other is pointing at the cash register. I know that the cameras aren't recording, but I'll take them down first. I step on a nearby chair, and I take down both of the cameras. Their destroyed remains lay on the ground.

I go to the glass display cases, and I grab my hammer. I grip the hammer and swing it down on the display cases. The display shatters into pieces onto the floor, and the glass even lands on the cake that it was supposed to protect. It's just a display cake, but I grab it and throw it to the ground. I continue to break the rest of the cases and trash anything else I find.

I stand in the middle of my destruction. I'm surrounded by glass and destroyed cakes. I smile at my work. This should be enough to hurt him.

I leave the bakery out the way I entered.

[ecogirl2759]

Welp-

I reblogged this post earlier, and I wanted to elaborate on my stance since I messed up my reblog and my message didn't show up :(

LONG ramble about Taka and Ishida under the cut :)

(Spoilers and death and all that good stuff, as well as a couple screen caps)

Heads up:

Just real quick, I'm gonna make a couple points based on this snapshot from an old interview. Here's the source. (I will translate some parts of this below, too.)

OKAY

SO

For starters, I don't think Taka was ever meant to survive.

I really think he should have, but I don't believe he was ever going to. Hot take, ik lol

As basically everyone knows by now, Taka was meant to kill himself in Distrust. That ended up being changed since the whole suicide plot would've been revealed too early for people's liking, so that point was given to Sakura. So even before the game was refined and shipped, Taka was going to die. (Edit: OKAY this info is actually false. Leaving it in so that people can read what I had originally said, but this part is NOTTTT ACCURATEEEEE okay thanks)

Taka's FTEs also stopped when he changed into Ishida, and while Ishida had one unused FTE, it was only one. I doubt there was ever much planned for Taka past Chapter 4 (maximum), so they decided to just kill him in Chapter 3.

Kodaka did speak a little bit about what he had wanted Taka's death to feel like, so I think that's pretty solid evidence that he was always going to die.

[ROUGH TRANSLATION:] [Kodaka: You could say that. However, even in a sad situation, I didn't want to make it [his death] cruel/brutal, so when it comes to it, it was on purpose.]

Ishida was also not a very well-received character lol.

Apparently, when the game first came out, Ishida was one of the least liked characters in the whole game. The staff also didn't care for him much, so they probably wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

[ROUGH TRANSLATION:] [Komatsuzaki: I felt like the characters were weaker when combined (laughter).] [Kodaka: That [Ishida's FTE] was also scrapped, and almost all of his appearances were lost. For that reason, Ishimaru himself was very popular although Ishida wasn't popular in the slightest. It's unfortunate... (laughter).]

The wordage here makes me think that there were originally going to be more chances for Ishida to appear, but that was thrown out in the earliest stages of planning. [ボツ roughly means "rejection (of a manuscript, etc.)]

Kodaka DID want to dive deeper into Ishida's character, though! He said so here:

[ROUGH TRANSLATION:] [Kodaka: I wanted to dig a little deeper regarding Ishimaru and Oowada's union, "Ishida," though...]

However, not even the interviewers really cared for Ishida lol.

Also, just to bring it up, here's where the claim for Taka's nonexistent backstory comes from, as far as I can tell:

[ROUGH TRANSLATION:] [Kodaka: I thought about depicting that [his experience in junior high] a little more in his Free Activity part, but that was becoming too dark/gloomy, so it was retired.]

So it's not that he had one that was scrapped after he died. He never had one to begin with.

MIGHT I REMIND PEOPLE OF ALL THE CRIMES IN THIS SERIES?? WHAT COULD BE DARKER THAN, LIKE, MUTILATION, SA, SH, SEWERSLIDE, ECT ECT????

The staff do agree that he was rushed, though. Kodaka admitted that he probably rushed his death a little at the end, but he was trying to achieve a certain feel with it.

[ROUGH TRANSLATION:] [Sugawara: Ishimaru's facial expressions were fairly abundant, but I felt like his time to die seemed too quick to carry out.] [Kodaka: Be that as it may, I feel I was too quick regarding Ishimaru. But, I really wanted the event when Ishimaru died to be like Robert Rodriguez's "Desperado".]

Now, I haven't seen Desperado, so I have no idea what this reference means lol. If anyone has seen it, lmk! (Defo going on my Must Watch list hehe)

SO IN CONCLUSION:

Taka was likely always meant to die, but his character was incredibly rushed and shallow that he ended up dying without much to his backstory or personality.

It's really unfortunate, though. I've always felt like Fuyuhiko was kinda like what could have been for Taka, even on my first playthrough of the second game. Taka's character did and still does have SO much potential, including the fact that his percent chance of surviving his death is MUCH higher than any other character that has died thus far.

If there's ever a new Dangan installment, I want a Taka cameo where he didn't actually die because the freezer room basically acted as a life support system for him and slowed his circulation of blood, letting his head injury heal just enough to escape Hope's Peak some time after all the survivors are already out but before anyone comes back, but because he has severe untreated head trauma he's kinda crazy.

BUT THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS!

Sorry for the ramble hehe

[tmntxthings]

Hi, me again, the one with the future donnie and leo ideas with more cause why not

Just wanted to jot down some UC (unnamed child/character) and Casey Jr cousin behavior as they’re raised by different “dads” (Leo being Casey’s and Donnie being UC’s)

(Again, do whatever you want with this info)

The two deciding to put on a performance so their dads will let them have a sleep over despite literally living with each other (they leaned from April cousins used to dance in order to get what they want)

UC bringing back trinkets they get from going on scavenger hunts with Donnie and Casey keeping them all in a box

Casey bringing back any books he’s able to find while going on patrols with Leo for UC (sometimes they’re a little you know ripped and muddy but psh book is book)

Apocalypse training! The cousins are a deadly duo and the twins couldn’t be more proud, almost seeing themselves in their kids (#theygrowupsofast #soonthey’llbekillingsomemonsters #couldntbemoreproudofthekids)

Elaborating more on that, they sometimes can’t train in the same room, especially when they were younger and couldn’t grasp the severity in training so they’d goof when the adults weren’t looking (some angst possibilities here). Either that or they did manage to grasp their situation fairly quickly and adapted their mindsets to learn the techniques they were being taught faster (#childhoodGONE)

Almost never go on patrols separately. You will have to PULL them apart if you want to take one and leave the other (only exception if it’s with one of their family members but if they’re assigned to different groups the two HAVE to go together)

Tried making a blood pact once (“its a blood pact, we go down together”) *cue the twins scooping up their respective kid before they can actually go through with it*

I imagine UC asking Donnie for help to make a music box for Casey Jr after he lost his mom (April helped)

Them actually getting better at dancing and sometimes they’ll be dancing around their rooms despite there not being any music because they’re cool like that

Sneaking into Donnie’s lab in order to see what kinds of shenanigans he’s doing in there

Getting caught sneaking into Donnie’s lab in order to see what kinds of shenanigans he’s doing in there (#worthit)

UC imagining making the weirdest shit only to actually put those thoughts into action and drags Casey Jr along too

UC, holding a blueprint: So, I have an idea for a new weapon. It's a combination of a laser gun and a grenade launcher.

Casey Jr: That sounds dangerous.

Cousin: Exactly! It's perfect for taking out a whole group of Kraang soldiers at once!

Casey Jr: *raises an eyebrow* And what if we accidentally blow ourselves up?

Cousin: *holding up a wrench like it’s a sword* Then we'll go out in a blaze of glory!

Casey Jr: I prefer to not go out at all, thank you very much…

The two doing their best to sneak up on Leo despite him catching them everytime (literally. He’d probably turn around last second and grab them scaring them instead of the other way around like the two planned)

Ganging up on people. Like what do you mean UC is not getting taller? You’re wrong! Yeah tell em Casey Jr! (No one is safe)

UC rambling about more in depth science stuff and Casey Jr just 🧍👍 (I have a feeling that he is good at science because..Donnie, but since UC is mechanically inclined and was raised directly by Donatello they’re just WOOO you know?)

April and Mikey setting up little forts for them and the four just hang around giggling and rolling around like four puppies

Casey Jr doing his best for his cousin after Donnie died, leaving behind all his work to be carried on by his kid, and reminds them that they can share the burden of being the backbone of the resistance

Getting into petty fights with each other over something small like, who gets the last piece scrap metal idk

Thinking about angst scenarios where one of them is too far to reach the other (who is in danger) and they get hurt badly and then having to quickly get them back home and explain what happened

Another angsty scenario eating away at me is one of them is forced to take a different route than expected when patrolling and they lose contact with the base. The panic and chaos that would happen…

Wowwwwww!!! I’m in shock, future anon you sent me hcs 😍🤭

Honestly though UC sounds so cool/cute scenarios where Casey Jr. has someone around his age and Donnie basically has his own kid 😘🤌 just mwah, love it!!! I just had to post this even though I don’t have much to add just tot this was super duper cute ❤️❤️❤️

[suffarustuffaru]

What is your opinion on arc 8? For me its such a mess (probably bc tappei improvised arc 7 and 8, they werent in the original plan), i hope it will end soon

i do agree with you there on otto development but im definitelyyy biased *sweats in becoming an otto blog someone save me from the hyperfixation* but in my defense otto arc 8 development was the result of a slow burn since arc 3-4 and otto's various side stories but even without the side stories it feels like the logical conclusion that his arc was leading up to, which feels pretty solid to me for the most part (side eyes otto apologizing to the girl who sent assassins after him.... side eyes tappei's fixation on shipping otto's brothers and then not even elaborating on how that'd even work as dynamics) but. anyway i digress

arc 7-8 ive followed since their conception via reading it chapter by chapter. unfortunately i did also get kinda busy with irl stuff while the middle of arc 7 was happening so i had to do catchup and also my memory is Pretty Bad. if youre wondering how i remember certain lore so well its only bc i have to reread/rewatch/use that info for writing things a lot which is the only reason why i remember it HAH. so. all in all. my memory of arc 7-8 is pretty shaky. i did read the beginnings of arc 7 and 8 via the polished translations though on WCT a while back while the rest was mostly like as each chapter came out.

rn ive started rereading arc 6 and i have several side stories i need to finish (ana camp side stories, the wilhelm-theresia trilogy, and ex 5 are top of my list right now). and then eventually ill get to reading arc 7-8 in their entirety so that i can 1. have more knowledge of it and 2. so i can have more fully formed opinions on it. so definitely i could try answering this question again once im done with that. no idea when that is bc im kinda a slow reader but ill do my best HAH. but i do have some thoughts now!!

(arc 7-8 stuff under cut + a single arc 9 mention)

arc 7-8 i do have a few mixed feelings about, namely louis's arc so far, but im really trusting the process here bc tappeis writing is just like that sometimes. you really need to be patient and definitely while i have things to criticize about louis's arc particularly i do hope that the catharsis of her character kicks in hard later so !! im interested in that.

but generally like. arc 7-8 are pretty solid. as expected of tappei. there were a lot of really really fascinating stuff brought up, a lot of interesting characters that we got to know (and im a really big fan of how much love tappei puts into a lot of the side characters, it really makes the world of rezero fleshed out). subarus arc continues to be interesting even if i personally really dont like that he adopts louis as spica While he looks like hes the exact same age as her, it really broke my immersion a bit.

but anyway yeah like. arc 7-8 was pretty good. like objectively, in my opinion, theres a lot to love, even though personally it did take me a bit to warm up to it in the beginning. i definitely think though that they do feel a bit messy as arcs. with arcs 1-6 they flow really nicely into each other - you can tell they were really planned out and tightly knit. arc 7-8 does something really new - throwing us right into vollachia - which is interesting, but i do think it does feel a bit less planned out, which makes sense bc according to tappei vollachia was a change in his original plans. this isnt bad on its own and we got two giant arcs out of it that were pretty fun. but there are points i feel that you can kinda Tell that it wasnt planned out. the slight reliance on the teleportation throughout arc 7 was like the first thing i noticed haah.

and my big worry after arc 8 is that like. tappei doesnt strike that perfect balance of still keeping vollachia and its cast relevant but like not letting them overshadow other matters that tappei needs to get to before finishing rezero. like i want vollachia to continue to matter after we've spent two really big and complex and busy arcs with vollachia, but i do want the focus to shift a little away from them gradually / bring up vollachia again later.

arc 9 so far in its 2 chapters at the time of me answering this ask has been really really good so far with wrapping up arc 7-8 while building up future conflicts. i do think however that since we spent time with vollachia this now comes with the expectation of branching out into kararagi and gusteko possibly - just bc we already know we're gonna spend a Lot of time in lugunica, as we have for a lot of rezero already, and we've spent a lot of time with vollachia, so narratively there probably needs to be some equality in that we should at least get a glimpse of other nations in the main route. so !! im interested in that possibility too and i think it would fit rezero well.

so yeah thats like. my personal opinion on arc 7-8 and i think reading through the whole entire thing wont change much of my opinions on the above besides me probably falling in love some more with the cast and understanding the story during this time period more deeply (and probably having more thoughts on louis and rem). i do hope that you reconsider your stance on arc 7-8 though anon!!! but if not thats totally fair too.

[yanderes-galore]

Assassination Classroom romantic concept for Asano Gakushu please? He's underrated qwp

I'll see what I got for you :) I'll write about him the best I can based on what I've seen of him, sorry if he's OOC, just let me know how to improve.

Yandere! Asano Gakushu Concept

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Manipulation, Controlling behavior, Stalking mention, Threats, Obsession, Implied violence, Jealousy, Egotistical yandere, Forced relationship, Possessive behavior.

Based on what I've seen of Gakushu, he is one of those yanderes who loves complete and utter control.

He's capable of it with his charismatic tongue and skills, too.

Fittingly enough his yandere traits are very similar to Karma's.

He's less sadistic than Karma, Gakushu is more calculated with manipulation rather than doing it for fun.

Gakushu is Obsessive, Manipulative, Controlling, Possessive, and very Persistent.

Gakushu is a man who likes to win.

He likes to get what he wants.

That includes his darling, whom he no doubt feels is lower than him.

Gakushu is a foil character to Karma I believe, which makes him share some similarities in behavior.

Although Karma doesn't usually see his darling as lower than him.

Gakushu feels like the type of guy to 'kabedon' his darling... y'know? The Japanese trope of pinning someone to a wall?

He likes to control and intimidate his darling, but he does it with such a sweet smile.

He's under the impression it should be easy to get you to fall for him.

After all, he's charismatic, smart, and a natural born leader thanks to his father.

Would you really turn down a guy such as him?

Even if you did, it just makes Gakushu try harder to obtain your heart.

Not only does getting you to like him stroke his ego, but deep down he really does love the chase.

What would make Gakushu obsessive over his darling is the fact you make him work for your affection.

In reality you just don't like him like that, no matter what others say about it.

Gakushu seems like he'd fit the stereotype of the spoiled popular boy who expects to get what he wants, then when he can't get who he wants, he freaks out because they hurt his ego.

You know the trope.

Gakushu is a hard man not to fall for, however.

Every word and action of his exudes charisma.

But he's always planning something.

Gakushu likes to research about his darling.

He gathers info about you like you're yet another subject he studies.

He likes to get others to spy on you then report to him.

Sometimes he himself likes to follow you before cornering you like a hungry beast.

Gakushu, like Karma, knows you've got to be something special to make him so obsessive about you.

He's determined, with all his research, to find it out.

Obviously Gakushu is manipulative.

Others listen to him as though he's a cult leader.

He doesn't mind lying, he doesn't mind breaking a few rules, as long as he wins it's fine.

Winning your heart is his goal and he'll do anything to accomplish it.

After all, the moment his purple irises saw you he knew you had to be his in the end.

Gakushu talks to you in a tone that makes it seem like you're friends.

When he does manage to get you alone he talks to you like he's here to help.

He's all smiles and laughs, gazing at you like a treasure he wants.

He wants to make you drop your guard.

He wants you to trust him so he can keep you to himself.

Gakushu sees nothing wrong with some lies here and there to gain your trust.

He isn't one for physical violence most of the time but he will send others to sabotage rivals.

He doesn't mind verbally taunting others, either.

Gakushu can be nasty with his manipulation.

He'll put together an elaborate plan to keep you to himself, then order others to execute it.

Soon... he'll make you feel alone.

Then you'll have to turn your attention to him.

He hates that you are insistent on refusing his offers.

Don't you realize how much power he has over you? He could outsmart you in an instant!

Just like he's doing now, bribing and blackmailing his way to you.

Gakushu is so controlling.

The moment he forces you to be in a relationship he wants to be your puppeteer.

He guides you with a deceptive tongue and cunning smile.

He claims he loves you, every touch and word more calculated than genuine.

He's more in love with the idea of control at first before genuinely falling for you.

He treats you like his little toy, a doll to kiss and hold all his own.

Gakushu is possessive.

He is a yandere who definitely feels an ownership towards his darling.

When he catches someone trying to get near you, he shuts it off quickly.

The nerve to touch what's his.

Safe to say, whoever talks to you is ruined in any way Gakushu feels like.

Maybe it's their reputation... maybe it's their appearance.

As long as everyone around you is out of the picture, he's happy.

Gakushu is someone who expects constant attention from you.

If he doesn't get it, he'll force it.

He likes to emphasize the fact you're still under him.

Passive comments... cornering you... it thrills him.

Even if you're dating, even if you stand up to him, one thing never changes...

You'll always be his... you're only his, no matter what happens.

PSI Cops Gem AU! Spoilers for SU!

So, Kydd and Felixx (aka Tiger’s Eye and Labradorite) were made right after Pink Diamond’s shattering. They were basically meant to be private investigators (Tigers as Yellow’s gems and Labs as Blue’s). Since they were a new gem type, many were made to try to perfect the formula. They were then set up in partnerships and given an investigation test (sort of like an escape room) to see how well they were able to do their job. Unfortunately, they just kept getting the recipe wrong and producing idiots (as Peridot said, they don’t make them like they used to). Kydd and Felixx did better than most by sheer dumb luck, but still not enough to pass. In order to preserve some recourses, the rejects were to be shattered and pieces reused for new ones (this is a thing now cause I said so). So, all the rejects (including our boys) are told to wait in a room for their “new assignments.” Insert Chief and the rest of the PSI Cops.

Chief Beef is another Holly Blue in charge of the human zoo. However, she’s in charge of the behind the scenes part of the zoo (human research, recourse management, emergency containment, etc.). She’s really passionate about human lore and really wants a gem on her team that she can send to Earth for better research, but this department is highly understaffed. She continues to beg Blue for another worker, and Blue finally gives in and says she can have one of the reject investigators. She goes and picks out Kydd. As they’re walking out of the reject room, Kydd asks “What about my Labradorite?” Chief informs him that she could only take one of them. Kydd says nevermind, he’d rather wait for a job he can do with his partner, and starts walking back. Chief’s like “Are you crazy!? I’m saving your life right now!” and tells him the diamond’s plan to shatter them all. With this new info, Kydd’s like “Well, we have to bring Labs with, now! I can’t let him be shattered!” So, Kydd goes back, asks to borrow Felixx’s gun and silencer, poofs Felixx and hides his gem, taking it with him to the zoo offices. Now, their job is to be sent to Earth to research humans for the human zoo.

Bitesized trivia

-“Kydd” and “Felixx” are the human names they chose to blend in better on Earth (though, they absolutely still look like aliens).

-The boy’s weapons are literally just their guns from the show.

-Yes, they are a romantic couple in this AU

-While doing their research, they find a book full of paranormal stuff and conspiracy theories and think it’s human history. Chief becomes fascinated with it and has the boys search for paranormal stuff on Earth.

-In this AU, a gem’s gemstone is more sensitive than the rest of them (kinda like the Homestuck troll horn theory, but less sexual). In their search of the murder house, the boys offer to massage each other’s gems to calm each other down. This is how they fuse for the first time. -They’re not a perma-fusion, but they do really like being fused.

-Their fusion is Cat’s-Eye Sillimanite because together, they are one big silly man! They call him “Silly” for short, and he’s about the size of Sardonyx. His weapon is a double-barrel shotgun.

That is all for now. Might elaborate later.

More lizard practices from a while ago + obligatory info dumping [long-ish post]

HC: Toffee doesn't hate using pillows, he just doesn't like them on his chair. However it's a common for septarians to sleep on their stomach when there's adequate cushioning, often having large pillows to support their head and neck. Completely inspired by the way Elias sleeps from Mahoutsukai no Yome!

Yeah idk how to draw lesbian lizard women

Intended to be Toffee's parents but I'm still intimidated by not getting the septarian style to look right nor appealing so maybe I'll tackle original designs later...

The septarian who conceived Toffee is intentionally meant to look exactly like him, but I still want to give her a subtle visual difference to him because based on the poor research I did and bending real life logic, asexual offspring are mostly to completely genetically identical.

At this point it's really late and I'm tired but I won't have the time nor energy to work on this later so here we go...!

I'd also like to mention that I've taken some thematic inspiration from "What Remains of Edith Finch" after I saw similarities with what I was trying to go with storywise but never knew how to convey it. I'd like to elaborate more on it some other time.

It was just a silly thought of Toffee having top surgery after seeing that post about the tapestry storyboard error. I wanted to look for that post again to check if it really happened but despite my search efforts couldn't find it.

I planned out further details but idk... I'm starting to feel like this is might be going out of range. Him being intersex because he has male attributes despite genetically being a "clone" of his mother. Probably going with they/them/he/him pronouns but only family and allies ever refer to him has they/them behind closed doors because he specifically requested out of spite of giving his enemies a chance to use it against him, in the same way his true gender is not known of from the outside.

Before vs after top surgery supposedly, Idk how to really make it show

*appears*

(imagine that one random time-lord in The Autons, floating mid-air)

Greetings once again,

Some more questions for you, because THOSCHEI, THOSCHEI, THOSCH-…..

Prepare yourself for a barrage of questions! (No pressure ofc)

Commencing in three, two, one..

*explosion*

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17

21 - Headcanons for your favourite ainley pairing

24 – gimme more info about the thoschei fan incarnations that occasionally pop up on your feeds. It is vital information!!!

*looks around at the impact caused by the questions*

Whoops

Have a good day/week! :)

*disappears*

SO IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG, THAT TIMELORD... That makes sense! Thank you so much for all the quest- (loud explosion) AAAAH!

(sooo prepare for a very long post 🤣)

1. How did you get into thoschei?

(gets out from under the table) Uhhh has the noise stopped? Yea. Okay. So it all started when I heard a rhythm of four beats?? And then I think my brain got infected. All I could think about is some sad pathetic aliens hugging each other and I guess one was dead and??? then he wasn't? Yeah so I saw tensimm and I got obsessed. That was, if my calculations are correct, about 8 years ago.

2. What is your favourite thoschei flavour?

At the moment it's fiveainley! Or sevencrispy...

3. What is, in your opinion, the most toxic thoschei dynamic?

Why did I even make this question. All of them there's no salvaging the toxicity. Uhh imma go with tensimm or spydoc though

5. Any fan content recommendations?

Honestly THBU it's just. Sublime. Okay so I might have been about to cry just one chapter in? Yeah??

Also Please Attend Carefully if you want podcasts abt the Master because who doesn't.

Now, that's all sfw but on the spicy smut side, here's a fiveainley fic that plays with hypnosis. I found it interesting how the author wrote it in first person, and their Ainley voice is just fantastic. Make sure to read the tags first though!

Do also check the ppl I reblog from's profiles some of them have AO3 accts I plan on munching on when I can!

8. Favourite thoschei story?

Honestly the Master audio atm. Or the Five Doctors cuz it's really funny to see Ainley TRY... just really try... Btw 1st Doctor x Ainley!Master when

Ngl I have to rewatch all the nuwho episodes w the master on it so my thoughts might change. These two stories are consuming my brain rn

9. Favourite thing they have said canonically to each other?

"Wonder what I'd be without you"

"Yeah."

And this

11. Song that reminds me of them?

I want to make an animatic with this so badly

12. Any thoschei headcanons?

My most heartfelt headcanon for them is this if it even counts as one 🤔

17. What's an underrated thoschei pairing?

SIXAINLEY FFS SIXAINLEY IS SO UNDERRATED. More of them pls...

21. Headcanons for your favourite Ainley pairing

No I'm not picking just one >:0

Fiveainley:

-In my head the Master contacted Fivey after the whole cheetah stuff in hopes he could help him. Not talking abt how good or bad that went but Fivey can't remember anyways.

-The Master loves the smell of Fivey's sweaters. Anytime he's entered his TARDIS he's stolen a few. Fivey still doesn't know where they went.

-Oh it's definitely Ainley!Master's fault the Doctor's regenerations became weirder. Yeah after what he did to Fivey he just messed them up. Like Fivey's legs. Hey, if the Master is having trouble being in a Trakenite body it's only fair, right?

Sixainley:

-The most likely pair to do spicy stuff actually. They're both into BDSM although probably not in a sexual context exactly. No I won't elaborate

-The cat pin? Yeah that's something the cheetah Master left in the TARDIS during that Fivey visit. Six just doesn't know. The Master finds it amusing.

-The Rani has tried to block all contact with the Master because he keeps calling her to talk about his latest plan to kill the Doctor. She's so tired.

Oneainley:

-The Master actually visited 1 on a few occasions during the Doctor's past after the events of the Five Doctors, wearing disguises of course so he wouldn't recognise him later.

-He invited him to lunch and they conversed. The Master finds this Doctor kind of endearing in a way, he's the closest he has to things being alright between them anyways. Just some quiet conversations, no mention of the Master or Gallifrey. No murder intent, they just were. Two "strangers" sharing lunch having candid intellectual conversations.

-Eventually, he stopped. Why? I leave that to your imagination.

24. Talk abt your fan Doctor and Master incarnations

OKOK IM GLAD YOU ASKED... So I met this classmate who's a dw fan and as we became friends he told me he had his own fan Doctor incarnation. Eventually we started LARPing for fun and I made my own Master, then we started making up tons of stories and that's how they came to be!

ONE DAY HOWEVER... He said. What if the Master and the Doctor were bigenerated?? Yeah from the same entity but the Time Lords erased their memories. And Dhawan!Master knew this but that one bit he never told, the Doctor never uncovered it, and this is part of why Dhawan wanted to become the Doctor. And boy this broke my heart because thE IMPLICATIONS. That'd mean the Master is ALSO the Timeless Child. So now that's canon for my Master and surprise, it's been selfcest all this time except not exactly because they are not the same anymore and they can never be.

So based off that, my Master loves to make a point on how different they are whilst his Doctor searches for similarities instead when he learns this. My Master is convinced that they're destined to be the worst parts of the Doctor forever, whilst the Doctor got "the better part". So why would they make it easy for him? Gallifrey is gone anyways so let's prove they can never be the same. Let's prove they're DONE. And they're immortal too I guess so why conform with having nothing no. They're owed the Universe and they're not sharing. Meanwhile the Doctor is wondering what would be of the Master if they had lived anything similar than what they did, if they're actually the same, if there's any kindness left on them, if they could have become the Master... He's stuck on his past in a way, too, missing companions and simpler times and stuff. And I intend to destroy his hopes of truly enjoying his current self you know?

...so yeah uh we also have companions we're making and we're slowly developing all of this + some random "episodes" (plots. that is) and one of them is Dak. Dak is well, kind of a Dalek kind of not. I have no idea how this happened he hasn't told me yet but apparently Dak has the genes of one of his companions? His mind when he was a child. So he's like a curious kid travelling with the Doctor except he's got Dalek Issues (tm) and I have such awful plans for him I'm so sorry little Dak ily but Daleks can never be good you know ☺️☺️ And I also have my subconscious eating beings that hate the Master for reasons but shhh. My friend doesn't know yet.

Anyways here's my Master treating the Doctor with love as usual

-----

Hey... hey. Wait. Don't go! *looks around* Uh... who will help me pay for all the repairs??? 😭

ALSO thank you so much for that twogado recommendation I will proceed to scream
