IM SIIIIIICK THIS IS SOOO ADORABLEEEE

season 1, episode 2: early bombshell

OR ushijima goes on a date

wc: 1.2k

ushijima love island masterlist

haikyuu love island masterlist

Even as the first day wears on, the sun descending towards the horizon, Ushijima’s nerves never fully settle. The producers shuffle the new islanders around the villa as they film the obligatory introduction shots, posing each of the new couples together around the pool before the new islanders split off around the villa. He tries his best to participate (like his manager drilled into him before he left), but he finds himself too aware of the cameras surrounding him, too aware of his own body and every move he makes, feeling suffocated by the lenses trained on him- eagerly waiting for him to do something interesting. 

The tightly wound tension doesn’t begin to seep from his body until you pull him away, tucked away carefully on a sofa bed out of sight of the producers. He finds some of the tension he carries slips away when he’s around you, one of your legs overlaying his, talking quietly under the string lights. You don’t seem to be bothered by his lack of conversation skills, chattering happily while he idly twines his fingers with yours, brightly colored nails scratching against the rough skin of his palms. The casual affection is new to him, and a little awkward, and he really hopes that he’s doing this right- he’s never felt genuinely interested in someone, not like this, and it has him feeling like the air has been punched out of his lungs. 

Even as the two of you rejoin the group around the firepit, he stays near you- stealing glances whenever he can get away with it. If he’s being honest with himself, it’s hard for him to pull his eyes away from you- you’re effortlessly charming, chatting with the other islanders over painted glasses of prosecco. He finds himself lingering by your side as you weave through the other islanders, drawn to the way you seem so at ease in this environment that still feels so foreign to him, appreciating the way you always seem to fill the silence he finds impossible to break.

He remains by your side as everyone settles into the sofas surrounding the fireplace, just in time for the season’s host to make her dramatic re-entrance. He can feel an uncomfortable coil of tension work itself into his chest when she announces that two of the boys are going on dates tonight- with a new bombshell. The coil only winds tighter when his phone goes off a moment later, pinging with the notification that he’ll be leaving the villa in just a few minutes. The other islanders let out a chorus of excited cheers, and Ushijima catches your eyes dart away from his own momentarily before you meet them again, smiling at him encouragingly. 

“Go on,” you say softly, your voice light and reassuring. “Have fun.” 

He doesn’t want to go- doesn’t want to leave the small moment you’ve created, but the producers are already ushering him and the other boy towards the changing rooms to get ready. The warmth in your expression settles his heart some, but the coil tightens even more painfully in his chest as soon as you’re out of his sight. 

The date spot is strategically romantic- carefully curated; a small table set up near the edge of a cliff nearby, overlooking the ocean. It’s pretty, soft lighting gently illuminating the tablecloth and the matching wine glasses laid carefully out on the table. There’s a tall blonde sitting across from where he now stands, radiating confidence. She greets him with a dazzling smile, her eyes scanning over him like she’s shopping for the perfect accessory. She introduces herself as Hannah as he sits down- she’s talkative, flirty, and clearly used to being the center of attention. She peppers him with questions- about his career, his thoughts on the villa, what he’s looking for, his current partner- and he answers as politely as he can, but there’s a stiffness in the conversation that he can’t quite shake. 

He can’t help but think about you back at the villa- he wonders what you think of all of this, if you’re as uncomfortable with this whole thing as he is. He finds himself comparing the easy conversation with you earlier, with the way you put him at ease and find ways to fill the awkward gaps in conversation he always accidentally creates to the stilted back-and-forth between him and Hannah. 

Hannah leans forward with a thin smile “You’re a hard one to read,” she says, and there’s a hint of annoyance there, hidden under her teasing tone.

“Yeah, I guess.” he replies, passing a hand over the back of his neck uncomfortably, unsure of what else to say. 

The date passes, filled with polite conversation and Hannah’s half-hearted flirting. Hannah is perfectly nice, pretty and glamorous- the perfect islander, but Ushijima’s thoughts keep drifting back to you. 

When they finally return to the villa, only a few islanders remain spread out across the lawn. Hannah’s excitement is palpable, her energy undeniable as she makes her way to two of the girls spread out in their pajamas on the sun loungers near the pool. He can hear her excited chatter about her dates with them from where he stands near the sliding glass doors, but he feels no pull to join the conversation. Instead, he turns back into the villa, heading up the stairs towards the bedroom in search of you. 

It doesn’t take him long to find you, upstairs in the bedroom, wrapped up securely in one of the many beds’ duvets. He can just see your eyes poking out of the covers, hair sprawled out messily behind your head. Your conversation with the girl sitting in the bed parallel to yours stops suddenly when he enters the room as you struggle to extract yourself from the blankets you've wrapped yourself in. Your face breaks into a warm smile when his eyes meet yours, giving him a subtle thumbs up. 

The girl across from you makes her exit with a mumbled excuse about brushing her teeth as he settles next to you, still in his formal wear from the date. 

“Did you have a good time?” you ask when he sits down beside you, your tone relievingly curious, lacking any jealous or angry heat. 

“It was fine,” he says honestly. “She’s…nice.”

You laugh lightly at his diplomatic response, eyes sparkling. “You always say exactly what you mean, huh?” There’s no malice, just an easy acceptance that he deeply appreciates.

He nods, feeling oddly seen. “I’d rather be here, though.”

You raise an eyebrow, playful and slightly teasing. “Yeah? I’m sure it was romantic.”

“Maybe,” he admits, “But it wasn’t the same.”

You don’t press him, just give a knowing smile, and there’s something comforting in the way you don’t need him to explain further. For the first time in hours, Ushijima feels like he’s found his footing again. He’s grateful for your quiet support, the way you seem to understand him without needing to make a big deal out of it. It’s a feeling he doesn’t want to let go of anytime soon.

Maybe tomorrow he’ll get the chance to return the favor.

My @isat-secretsanta-2024 gift for @pillowspace!! They said they’re fascinated by secret research lab AUs, and, in a case of incredible serendipity, that’s been my favorite trope since I was like 8 years old. So I may have gotten possessed and spent three weeks straight worldbuilding a whole entire thing.

So! This comic is my gift for Pillow, but I’m planning to write a fic set in the same AU eventually, titled Desperate Measures. It will take place in a modern day Vaugarde and focus on Odile, Loop, and Siffrin, alongside other more-or-less-familiar faces. And by “eventually” I mean this is now my highest priority project, but it’s big enough that it may be a couple months till I have anything else to show!

Journal transcript under the cut:

wavelength of 690nm, which means it would activate L cones nearly exclusively. If we're correct in our mapping of wavelength combinations to color terms in historical documents, then this would be considered a shade of "red".

I still don't know if I believe it. It seems fantastical, like I've become a character in a children's story, chosen to leave behind the world of the mundane and enter a realm of magic. Or like this is all a dream, and as soon as I'm about to see the shade my brain will realize it doesn't actually know how to show me something I've never seen before, so it'll put me in front of a full auditorium instead; and then I'll forget how to speak Vaugardian, or realize I'm not wearing any pants, or both, and then I'll wake with a start back in Ka Bue.

But however strange it seems, I can't think of any reason they'd have to lie about it. Why else all the NDAs? Why else contact me? So I must assume that it's true. That after years of trying to solve humanity's loss of color vision — a project that began long before I joined it, and that I expected to continue long past my time — I am about to simply be shown a perceivable color. That's the strangest part, really; that this breakthrough isn't related to the mechanisms of sight, but rather, the thing seen.

I thought perhaps they'd synthesized it somehow. Stumbled upon the correct combination of chemicals by accident. Maybe even invented a new sort of craft.

I didn't expect their source of red to be alive.

This is a really specific post but i just wanna talk about how much i like a specific design detail of ichi's witch outfit: the fur pelt

Obvi the fur pelt is there cuz ichi is fucking crazy and loves hunting (it was present on his metaphorical normal uniform too) but i love its function in the silhouette. Usually magical girls have a big dress or big hair giving them a powerful vibe. Not ALL magical girls obvi but more contemporary ones

Heres the cast of wonderful precure for an example. Big hair big dress big personality. But usually magical boys lose that and are kinda stuck being the sleak variety cuz they have no big hair and no big dress

Heres pretty cure dancing stars (the anime poster for consistency) theres an effort to make their silhouette bigger with capes but its still typicially smaller than magical girls

Also heres tokyo mew mew au lait even tho the tokyo mew mew magical girl outfits were always in the sleeker variety more of a sailor moon than a smile precure.

Theres nothing bad with that but i think its good for magical boys to have options rather than only being 1 style of typical magical girl which usually makes them their outfits feel all samey cuz the silhouettes have the same basic shape.

Okay back to ichi

This is why the fur pelt is so cool cuz it bridges that design gap while also seemlessly conforming to who he is a character

I can see here its not stationary either. It moves as tho hair would were it magical girl hair.

i think its just a really neat design choice i wanted to highlight

Also i love that its red i feel like we never get red and black magical girls or boys and it really shows off his bloodlust

Revenge on @g0nefischin !!! Yeehaw 🐎

[cherrirui-official]

Uhm uhm uhhh INCREDIBLY self indulgent Trolls Au that's centered around John Dory and Bruce called Beach Bros bc I like them and I think there should be more content surrounding them as a duo *looks at you with my big wet eyes*

EXTREMELY short explanation + design refs under the cut! CW for mentions of drowning

There's a lot I got planned for it but for now the basics is that after I'd say around 8-10 years after Brozone split up, John Dory received the postcard that Bruce sent him. Now bc JD believed none of the other trolls were alive (since he went back after all the pop trolls escaped Bergen Town and found the Troll Tree empty) JD was ECSTATIC to find out that at least one of his brothers was still alive and immediately began searching for Bruce. Took him about a couple of days but eventually JD managed to locate Vacay Island!

And then almost drowned while crossing the waters... On Bruce's fucking wedding day.

After that ordeal, JD decides to live with Bruce and Brandi on Vacay Island!

Again there's a LOT more to it but it's late and I am extremely tired, I'm gonna go to sleep lol. ALSO if y'all have any questions abt the au, feel free to ask! I'd be more than happy to answer them as best as I can :] !!!!

(also while making designs for them I accidentally made JD look much younger than Bruce I think, oops 😔)
