Wuthering Waves has taken over all of my free time recently, so here's a sketch of Scar!Ren I originally shared in da 14DWY Discord!!

[raphs-rhapsody]

woAh it's me

on the current raeda conversation:

I think what people (esp new fans who didn't watch the show as it aired, and didn't have time between releases to really think about characters and let stuff sink in, in that sense) don't understand is this:

raeda provides a more nuanced representation of queerness and what it means to love someone.

the whole point of raeda, imo, is that love shouldn't, doesn't, look a certain way. love doesn't fit into a mold. it isn't easy. sometimes it's tragic. sometimes it hurts.

queerness doesn't look a certain way. the whole point is being who you are and who you are is different for everyone

raeda hits cause we see both of them at their worst. and as the show was airing we didn't know if they'd get a chance to show one another they'd changed. we all thought raine was gonna fucking die every time they were on screen. but i digress

i think people gloss over how well the adult characters are fleshed out in the owl house. honestly it's taken for granted. they have depth. and their queerness makes them all the more vital as representation cause they're not stereotyped and don't fit into a box.

again key word here is nuanced

and isn't the whole point of the owl house to celebrate individuality and how beautiful and unique we are? to not judge people based on generalizations? to not try and fit someone into a mold they have to fit inside forever?

if you try to put anything in the show in a box then you missed the point.

so like, the fact that raeda is so overlooked despite being the best representation of a ship that breaks conventions is weird

the fact that they're both ignored by disney is even weirder. lumity is good rep, but i think raeda is equally if not more important because of the opportunity for kids adult queer role models that prove that life is a mess and the path you're on might not be linear, but eventually everything will get better.

sorry for putting a college dissertation in your ask box. i'll go back to lurking lol

I'm reading this whole college dissertation wdym

tell ren to turn his location on👉👈

I saw one of the posts of how ren does get jealous of pets being loved over him and alll that so now I have the thought of the one meme of ‘ah yes, me, my partner and their [enter normal pet size] foot [pet]’

I don’t have anything else, it did pop into my head though and I thought I’d share with the class.

⌞♥⌝ ItsNotVivy on Twitter actually made that exact meme with Ren a looong time ago!!

To answer the original question OP here are some safer (privately owned!) shops :)

Gem's Moss Shop (azaleas for sale which can be bonemealed)

Bdub's Bamboo Shop (bamboo wood is a good eco-friendly alternative to your typical spruce or oak)

The Purr-purr bus (if you're okay with having slightly more exotic trees, from the End)

Hope this helped! <3

𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒!

you recall a cute trend that happened years ago about offering your hand and someone placing their chin in your palm as a sign of affection. "how cute" you thought, and decided to try it with a few people you know . . .

featuring sakura haruka, kaji ren, and suo hayato!

offering your hand palm side-up, you never spoke a word. his brows furrowed in curiosity but confusion more than anything.

" i ain't giving you money. " haruka huffed, looking away as you chuckled.

" i don't want that, " you clarified, " i want your face. "

he stared in horror before he finally allowed his brain to register what the hell you said. his cheeks burned and his eyes widened, " no way! you creep!" you noticed the way he slightly tensed but you stood your ground.

" its not like i'll hurt you, sakura-kun. " you explained, and he seethed in his spot. his eyes flickered from your sweet face, back down to your palm, then back up again!

he was obviously conflicted and he didn't understand why the hell you wanted his face to begin with! but . . . he finally took a step forward and closed the large gap he put between you both.

he leaned down and finally placed his chin in the pad of your hand before your fingers curled along his his cheeks. they burned as you held them, and you smiled sweetly.

" see? isn't this nice? " you asked, giving his cheeks a soft squeeze.

" shuddup! "

offering your hand palm side-up before him, ren's eyes lifted from his phone without lifting his head. the music radiating from his headphones was deafening, but you knew better than to reach for them yourself.

he carefully looked over your hand; white stick of his sucker sticking from his lips as he held his phone single-handedly now. with his other hand, ren fished in his pocket before pulling something out and dropping it in your hand.

" THANKS. " he shouted, placing a bundle of wrappers in your hand before looking back down at his phone. you were entirely too amazed by how many damn wrappers he pulled out to even get upset!

squeezing the wrappers in your hand, you sighed in soft defeat before ren read your expression over while you weren't paying attention. sticking his phone in his pocket and leaving his hand in there, he pointed at your other hand.

the stick swirled from one corner to the next of his mouth as you looked down. "huh?" you mouthed before assuming he had more trash to hand to you. since your other hand was now full, you couldn't pile more onto it.

using your other hand, you lifted it and waited for more trash to be piled there but instead, ren placed his chin in your hand. you were shocked this was happening but tried to play it cool! still, you had a small blush on your face . . .

" ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? " ren spoke loudly, dark grey eyes looking over your face, " USE YOUR WORDS NEXT TIME, IDIOT. "

offering your hand palm side-up, you knew deep down hayato would ace this test! well . . . you surely hoped so.

hayato, with his hands behind his back, stood before you, offering his light and charming smile. the earrings he wore swayed as he uncrossed his hands and searched his pockets for something.

" ah, here it is! " he would announce, pulling out his smartphone and placing it into your hand. holding his phone in your hand, you quickly shook your head.

this act made him tilt his head, " oh? then perhaps . . ." he took his phone back and placed it on the nearest surface. he went back into his pockets, fetching his wallet and placing it in your hand.

" i would be glad to treat you to something nice. " he was so quick to offer his wallet!? you gasped, shaking your head even quicker than before as his lone eye would blink, " but i insist. it isn't a bother! " hayato watched as you now held the wallet with both hands, offering it back to him with desperation and your head hung low.

you felt awful holding his wallet like this!

hayato took his wallet back, placing it back into his pocket as he took a slight thinking pose. with his thumb and index finger holding onto his chin, he used his other hand to hold onto his elbow -- arm pressed against his torso.

he began to think and you straightened yourself up and offered your hand once more.

" ah, its a dance you want then! " hayato finalized, letting his arms fall from their previous position with a gleam in his eyes, " i should have known! how silly of me, forgive me! " reaching over, he took your hand into his, pulling you into his chest.

" are you light on your feet? " he asked, his other hand respectfully resting on the small of your back. suddenly you felt yourself combust, cheeks flourishing as you began to speak nonsense. you were quite literally short-circuiting, and hayato blinked innocently.

eventually, he pulled away and you placed your hands against your burning cheeks.

" you're a fun tease, almost as fun as sakura-kun! " suo admitted softly and gave you space to ease your panic. " am i forgiven? " now it was his turn to offer his hand to you and you didn't seem to notice the contradictory in your actions!

you took his hand and suo leaned forward in a small bow before kissing the back of your hand. with his other arm tucked behind his back, his maroon-colored eye admiring you from his lower position.

straightening up, suo flipped your hand palm-side up before placing his chin into it.

" you . . ! you knew this is what i wanted all along! " you screeched.

" huh? i'm afraid i'm not following, reader-chan. "

thank you for reading! might do a part two, if so let me know what characters you'd want me to do! or any other hcs you'd like (for example, something with hurt/comfort, asking the reader out, etc!) also might be open to doing one-shots if requested!

"HELP" Hobie Brown x reader.

"Arachne!" You turn at the sound of your alias. Your Alias. It roll out of his mouth in a thick sultry English accent, "I need your help."

"Can it...wait?" Your eyes drift to one of the many spider-women around, earth 834: Zarina Zahari. She looked at him with a raised brow and seemed unamused with the interruption.

"No. I need your help," he repeats cooly his large hand presses against your back and starts gently pushing, "...now."

"Oh- o-ok..." You stutter stumbling a bit as you try and wrap up. "I'll talk to you later, Zar! Hobie stop shoving!"

"stop stallin' then, dove." He huffs stopping his insistent pushing only to fiddle with his wrist. A portal opens and you turn to look at him in confusion. "Well? Are we goin'to stand here all day or are you walking through it?"

"where-?"

"go." He gives a gentle push.

"Jesus Christ you are so impatient today." You grumble in frustration going through the portal and falling on a firm bed in a familiar room. Like the occupant of the room it's calm and serene and the colors are slightly different than the last time you were over. It was ever changing. You sit with your legs crossed on the bed your arms across your chest as Hobie falls through much more elegantly next to you.

"dovey-" his voice rings with an air of amusement at you pouty insistence.

"dovey," you mock his thick accent and he takes a deep breath. "Don't dovey me I was having a conversation, Hobie. What is the matter with you?"

"I'm tired." He says simply wrapping his arms around you and pressing his face into the crook of your neck his nose brushes the skin there and he sighs. The little shit is content, "and I don't think I can sleep if you're not here. Shuddup and lay with me."

"Micha, why the hell you tagged me for bro?!" The weird-haircut boy snickers in amusement, continue typing away on his phone with a huge grin on his face "Shuddup, donkey. I got lots of comments here telling me I'm a lucky man." You thrash yourself beside him on the bed, grunting loudly.

"You are a dork. I got so many friends request and what am I supposed to do about that?" He throw his phone down, spreading his arms to put them around your waist to tug you close "You can make another account like I do. It's not that hard, liebling." You push his face off, murmuring incoherent words beneath your breaths "Idiot. This wouldn't happen if you hadn't tag me at all in the first place." He laughs, grabbing you back to put you beside him on the bed.

"Come on, it's fine right? You're not mad at me are you?" You sighed, not bothered to argue anymore and just lie down beside him.

in manhattan, when one newsie gets sick, they all get sick. and they're fucked right now. "it ain't my fault!" jojo shouts. "buttons got me sick!" everyone rounds on buttons.

"yeah, like i fuckin chose to be sick," he mutters. the crowd of sick newsies starts yelling at him.

"everyone shuddup!" jack shouts from his bed. "i got a headache."

"someone gimme some help out here!" tommy boy calls from outside. specs, blink, and skittery go to give him a hand with whatever it is.

"what happened?" all the newsies hear snatches of conversation from outside.

"-in the street."

"-when to stop-" blink and skittery enter, holding an unconscious race between them. "ay, mush, move it." they toss race onto a bed.

"what happened to him?" ike asks quietly. there's a small cut on race's forehead that's bleeding.

"oh, he passed out in the street," skittery explains. "he's sick and wouldn't take the day off. never was very smart."

"now he's dead," blink adds.

"what?" a shout goes up from some of the younger ones until mush smacks blink around the head and tells everyone blink's kidding.

"they're kids, stop scarin them," mush orders him. "also, race being sick means only one thing. someone has gotta go tell spot conlon."

"yeah, that ain't scary," blink mutters. "uh, boots, go to brooklyn and tell spot he's got a sick boyfriend." boots heads off dutifully.

the next hour is a mess. all the newsies fret over race, who sleeps the whole time. and then everyone goes silent and dumbstruck when spot enters.

they're used to cold, intimidating, angry spot. not a caring spot. not a spot who immediately runs to race's side and starts checking on him.

spot presses his hand to race's forehead and then hugs him tight, pressing kisses to the top of his head. "ay!" crutchie shouts. "everyone hit the beds and give them some space!" race wakes up soon enough, with a worried spot sitting bedside.

"race!"

"whatcha doing here? i's just sick. ain't dying or nothing." spot kisses his forehead and stares at him.

"ya passed out in the street. gotta take it easy."

"when one of us gets sick, we all get sick. i ain't dying, spot, i promise."

"you need food." race shrugs.

"i ain't hungry."

"race. listen to me. you need food, you're sick."

"i'll throw it up."

"i will shove it down your throat if you don't eat the food i bring ya."

"spot-"

"tony. shut up. i's getting you some chicken soup. don't argue." race watches him walk out, smiling a little dopily.

all the newsies start hooting and cheering, whistling at race.

"alright, alright!" race shouts. "i got a headache."

Dialogue 🌻☕

What are you doing sweetheart? Stop squirming, it's pointless. You aren't strong enough to get out of my arms. Just take the tickles like a good little girl and stop fighting: nothing you can do will help, and no one is coming to save you.

Literally the only thing I'm doing is poking your ribs why is it working so well? Is it my voice? Are you seriously giggling this badly because I'm just talking to you? No they aren't teases I'm just having a little conversation and you're trying to weasel out of my arms you naughty thing...

And now look at you, so rude, telling me to "sHUDdUp" y'know if you want me to shut up I can always just nibble your neck instead? No? Well then you're just being difficult. I think I'll keep you wrapped up in this tickle hug for an extra 5 minutes because of that.......

All bloody and bruised; that is Eustass Kid's current condition, after participating, or shall I say starting a brawl with some thugs.

He looks pathetic right now, he admits. Down to the floor, in the brink of unconsciousness.

But hey, at least he won, he was the last one standing, the winner!

“Oh fuck, my head hurts..” Kid grumbles, touching his bleeding head that throbbed in pain.

“Hey, troublemaker. Ya still doin' good?” A voice says, snickering as they approached the red head who's attention turned to them who slowly emerged out from the darkness.

“You seem very beaten up... Well, I'm not surprised, you're a troublemaker anyway.” They add, causing the red head to roll his eyes, annoyed.

“Oh shuddup, whoever-you-are! At least I fuckin' won, hah!” He says smugly with a click of his tongue, slicking his now damp hair that was dampened by the rain water.

“It's not 'whoever-you-are,' Kid. That's Y/n to you, dumb shit.” You huffed, introducing yourself before you crouched down to level the man who's sat on the ground.

“Ah, Y/n... What d'ya want? And why're ya here?” Kid asked, clicking his tongue as he averted his eyes away from the you who sighed and rolled your eyes.

“I am here to patch your ass up, of course.” Taking out the bandages and gauzes you bought with you, you then started patching the male up, little by little with care as he lightly winced from his wounds.

“...Okay, I'm done.” You hum, finishing up while Kid sat quietly, watching you with a small frown on his face..

“'Kay, thanks.... You can go now, I'll just stay here for a little while more until I get the strength to get up.” The tulip-haired man whispers, shooing you away, expecting you to leave already..

...But confusing to him, you didn't leave. Instead, you sat beside the red head who had his mouth agape.

“Didn't I tell ya to go? You don't have any business with me now, y'know.” Kid mumbles, scooting away from you who chuckled as you scoot closer to him until he stopped moving away from you.

“You—ugh, why is your annoying ass still here, Y/n?” Kid mutters, grumbling under his breath on how you're still not leaving.

“...Mhhhmm, why am I still here? Well, that's because I care for you, my troublemaker.” You said with a snicker, leaning your head on the troublemaker's shoulder, causing him to tense up as his cheeks were slowly dusted red like his hair—

“. . .” Serving silence thanks to your acts, Kid sighed, letting the you be. Slinging his arm over your shoulder, moving you closer to him. A smile showing on his face, and yours, too, as you lovingly look at each other....

would i come off as obnoxious if i said that artfight having tons of furry participants kinda makes it 3% less fun when you're an artist who has primarily human/humanoid characters bc the attack ratio is so skewed. like do i come off as kinda bitchy when i say that. idk its nearly 6 am

[katyspersonal]

i saw your post about your predictions for messmer and they're all interesting, so do you think Messmer would be one of those fromsoft "irredeemably villains" or he would have shades of grey like Martin's main characters ? if i am not mistaken Myazaki said something about Messmer being one of the characters GRRM wrote for the game.

Thank you for the compliment @ first anon! And yeah, I assume that Messmer counts as one of the characters that Martin wrote, referring to the bit of interview @val-of-the-north helped me to find just yesterday!

( x )

Miyazaki and Martin really write their 'villains' differently, huh? My observation is, Fromsoft style is more along the lines of "Yeah this character done shit beyond the very scope of how us simple humans can even define a sin or crime, but also allow us to present it all in such a confusing, existential, grand scheme manner that you'll doubt whether character is truly in the wrong. Heck, is ANYONE in the wrong? In fact, what if the worst people are the best? What if no one has the real choice anyways but to pick their own poison? What if the most atrocious decisions are actually the most heroic? What if-

YEAH YEAH whatever shuddup. Martin really feels more common "This character having been a victim doesn't excuse their crimes but also this character's crimes don't make bad things that happen with them right". And so far I've noticed that Elden Ring's writing of the 'bads' falls MORE on Martin's side, even if some previously familiar tropes are there!

I'll use Mohg as volunteer! Mohg is presumably a sex offender, towards his half-sibling too, but you can't help but feel bad for him being raised in the severs and alienated from his family as abomination save for his twin brother that expresses results of such oppression differently, but you can't really excuse anything! If Elden Ring was a pure Miyazaki's creation, no Martin's involvement, execution of his "morality" would go more like: when Mohg was trapped in the severs he saw a dream that actually revealed the true meaning of this world to him and now he knew only one way to end the pain like he and Morgott experienced and fix the world to the better existed, which was to get into a system Greater Will set up and become a consort for the only available Empyrean, was he REALLY in the wrong to choose one crime to end many ooooo something something train dilemma maybe he'd be a way worse person if he learned of the one way to fix the world and still did nothing clinging to a morality that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things OR MAYBE DOES IT OOOOOOHHHH

Basically the latter vibe is not something I am seeing in the big bads of Elden Ring as much! They ARE morally grey, justified or not justified not by some transcendental existential matters but by combination or their very close, very realistic circumstances and how they've reacted to them! The debate on whether character is redeemable boils down to how much agency one can have in this or that situation more than the "horror of knowing your choices"! So, I expect Messmer to be "morally grey"! Maybe whatever he did, under assumption that he DID do something bad, came from his own flaws but he'd have a point in his own way. Or maybe he was done dirty in his life and:

As for whether he'd be worse than Mohg? I think he COULD be! Mohg kidnapped Miquella in his stasis and is now worshipping his "dead" flesh in his madness. The only worse thing to do would be to like, annihilate Miquella, which I CAN see Messmer potentially doing! He spoke with a disdain towards being devoid of Grace from how I've interpreted it, which Miquella did do:

Okay, okay, maybe we will NOT get a dramatic scene of him obliterating Miquella just before we got a chance to do anything, that might be a stretch! Let's HOPE that won't happen! But there could be an attempt, or he could be holding him hostage like @alma-amentet said. AND there could be a general sentiment by Messmer having a very...... awkward position regarding existence of those he deems less worthy or unequal (by being devoid of Grace in this case) that passes beyond the level of simple oppression, let's JUST call it that fsdhfhsd

And, again, there of course would be some "reasoning" behind that attitude that'll leave space for debates! Like maybe Marika herself hardcore trained him to be this way before leaving, and he had no real means to reconsider being in isolation from the 'real' world! Whatever made him this or that way, as a bad/worse person is not a result of Eldrich madness or sense of the world ending anyway, but something very understandable and human. Sympathetic, even! I can already imagine the "he had no chance for a perspective change or more information, but it is still what it is, so he is still terrible even if not willfully" sentiment! Or something close!

Okay thank you for the asks, but I must admit, it's been 8 years since I touched Martin's writing and my memory might be failing me with some specifics! And, of course, the difference between Miyazaki-only writing and Martin being involved is not that drastic, I've just tried to maximise it to actually make a point! It is still a collab, and I am betting more on Martin-style approach with Messmer; this is just my version of what his critical flaw could be if it WILL happen!

_________________________________________

(first person - MC/reader)

It's been a few weeks since my interaction with Lucifer. I've been avoiding him with the plague. I don't want to face him, and his pride would never allow him to approach me first.

Maybe I should approach him first. What if we never talk again? What am I going to do? Being here will be so awkward. How am I supposed to avoid him for a lot longer? What-

"Hey. Stop overthinking." Mammon interrupts my thoughts. "I can see it on yer face. It ain't yer fault. It's my bastard of a brother's fault. So tell yer brain to shuddup."

I nod, feeling a little embarrassed that the brothers tend to be good at telling what I'm thinking.

I lean closer to Mammon. Currently Mammon, Belphie and I are the only ones here, so we're all in my room, watching a show. I'm leaning on Mammon while Belphie is laying on my lap.

"Mmm, Lucifer sucks, don't let him get to you." Belphie grumbles, barely awake. He cuddles closer to you. "If you want, I could be an extra big pain to him for you?"

"No, it's ok Belphie." You reply, running your hands through his hair. He hums before falling back asleep.

We've watched a whole season now and I'm starting to doze off. I'm almost asleep. It's just so comforta-

Bam

I shoot up, immediately awake. Which makes Belphie grumble. I gently move him off my lap and me and Mammon go to check out the noise. I peek my head out the door and stare dumbfounded.

"M-Mc-" Lucifer slurs, obviously drunk. "I-I needa say sommm..." He mumbles off. Seems he had just taken a big fall, causing the sound that woke me.

Mammon glares at him, standing in front of me protectivly. "The Fuck ya want with MC?"

Now it's Lucifer's turn to glare at Mammon. "Watch your *hic* language."

The tension is so thick. I step in between them, breaking their glares. "Well, since it seems no one's hurt and there's no emergency, I guess we can go back now, Mams."

"Wait!" Lucifer grabs my arm, turning me around. He's pouting. Meaning he's hella drunk. "Wanna Wanna *hic* wanna talk..."

I sigh, knowing he won't be able to get back to his room without help and knowing he won't leave without talking to me. "Mams, could you and Belphie get everything ready for us to sleep while I take Mr Drunk Off His Ass here to his room and get him all situated?"

He looks very against it but agrees, also knowing Lucifer won't leave without speaking to me and can't get to his room.

I wrap one of Lucifer's arms around me and wrap my arm around his waist. "C'mon, I'll take you to your room." I say as I start walking.

The walk there is silent, except for some hickups and slurred mumbling from Lucifer.

I set him on his bed and go to grab a trashcan, but get stopped by a hand holding my wrist once again.

"What is it Luc- ah!" I get pulled to Lucifer, probably with more force than he intended. He easily catches me, even in his drunken state, and sits me on his lap with his arms around my torso.

"M-MC, I *hic* needa tell you..." He looks everywhere but you. "I..."

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "I shouldn't have done that to you... I know you were only trying to *hic* trying to help like now..."

"Yup." I agree coldly, still upset about what he did. "Now, could you let me go so I can grab you water, a light snack and a trashcan?"

He looks uncharacteristically like a kicked puppy, but let's me go. I feel a little bad, but I have to get him situated before listening to his drunk ass.

After making him sip some water, eat some food, splash a bit of water on his face, grabbing him a trashcan and some meds, I think I got everything he needs for now. He's definitely not sober, but also definitely not as drunk as he was before.

"MC... Please..." He speaks so quietly I almost don't hear him.

"hm?" He gently grabs my hand and motions for me to sit down.

After sitting next to him he turns to me, taking another deep breath.

"I .. I'm... Fuck MC..." He seems to think for a moment before just blurting out. "I'm sorry!"

I blink, surprised. He doesn't usually say sorry and when he does, he doesn't say it as sincerely as he just did.

"Look... I know my actions were inexcusable, so I won't try to make excuses... I just hope you'll forgive me... I can't stand not having you here with me every day. I hate you avoiding me, and I've missed your gorgeous/handsome voice so much. I just beg of you to not avoid me anymore... And I hope to earn enough of your forgiveness for us to go back to normal, of as close to normal as possible." He gives my hands a gentle squeeze before reluctantly letting go.

I just sit there processing what he said for a few moments. Once everything goes through, though, I immediately hug him tightly, which he quickly, yet hesitantly returns.

"I don't think I can forgive you much at the moment... But I do appreciate your apology... And I'm willing to give you another chance." I feel him exhale before feeling tears drop on my head.

Alarmed, I try to look up at him, but he holds my head close to him. "Thank you... I'll do my best to earn your trust and forgiveness."

It's been a month since that interaction, and I've fully forgiven him. I do sometimes still flinch, but besides that, I'm back to normal. Something that hasn't gone back to normal and that I hope never goes back to normal, is the time, attention and affection I get from Lucifer.

Since that night, he's kept his word and then some. He has really done his best to earn my trust and forgiveness. He's also been making sure to make more time for me, even with his busy work. He's also been more affectionate. Sometimes when we're alone in his room, he'll take his gloves off and hold my hand with one and relaxingly run his fingers across any showing skin. It feels really nice.

"Sweetie, I have something for you." I turn to see my demon dressed casually while holding flowers and chocolate.

"Thanks Luci." I smile and take the gifts.

"I was hoping maybe you'd like to watch a movie in my room later? You can pick the movie and I'll have your favorite snacks, the fluffy blanket and the stuffed animal you like." He's smiling softly while listing off the perfect movie date night.

"hmm... Let me think..." I say to tease him for a moment before I softly kiss him on the lips. "Of course. I'd love to."

Evanescent / Episode 1

Characters: Rinne, Kohaku, HiMERU, Niki, Nagisa  

"...Hello there. I'm Nagigon ♪"

← Previous ✧ Directory ✧ Next →

[ Read on my site for a better viewing experience using Ois~su ♪ ]

Season: Spring

Location: Abandoned Mine

Days later, in an abandoned mine deep in the mountains.

Rinne: "Emergency project! Chase Nagigon, the mythical giant creature!"

"So, here we are at the abandoned mine! Today, us Crazy:B are off in search of the legendary creature, Nagigon!"

Kohaku: ...What the heck's this? Feels like somethin' a washed-up internet streamer would come up with...

Rinne-han said he had a weird yet foolproof plan to solve our dire situation, but is this really the solution he meant...?

HiMERU: —Fufu. That line sounds somewhat familiar.

You said something similar during the initial rehearsal for JoyLife, Oukawa.

Kohaku: Even your JoyLife was the same. You got so serious 'bout it, yet what you delivered was such a letdown...

Rinne: Oi, oi. Kohaku-chan, you've really gotten quite high and mighty, haven'tcha...?

What happened to the Kohaku-chan who used to say he'd take any job just to rack up experience?

Kohaku: You were the one sayin' we had to be picky about the jobs we take. And besides, things're different now.

Crazy:B's in high demand, so surely there were some better gigs out there?

Rinne: Nah. That's only true for you and Merumeru. The public's focusing on PBB, not Crazy:B.

HiMERU: Hm. In other words, the work for Crazy:B's four members remains unchanged?

Rinne: That's right. Niki and I are only seen as evil pests meddling with you two.

Niki: Nahaha. Thanks to that, I've been able to focus on my cooking job lately, and it's been awesome!

And with Rinne-kun off sulking somewhere, I got to work in peace. No interruptions, no chaos ♪

I wouldn't mind staying like this forev... Hey, Rinne-kun, quit holding onto my clothes! You're not gonna suplex me again, are you?!

Kohaku: Niki-han, you really just never learn...

I do understand your situation, Rinne-han. But I still don't get how this show's a solution to the problem...

Rinne: Well, as you pointed out, there's pretty much nothing deep or complicated here.

It's just a typical Crazy:B-style project to ruffle some feathers with the public's interest in PBB.

Wasn't I spending most of my free time tryna wreck the happy little lovefest you two had going?

Niki: Waugh... That's such a scummy thing to admit.

Rinne: Shuddup! This project's just a way to pass the time, forcing work outta Vice Prez Glasses-kun.

Kohaku: I see. So that's why it's so half-baked. I feel a bit sorry for the deputy director now...

HiMERU: He probably buckled under Amagi's insistence and threw together a project on the fly.

Kohaku: But seriously, what's with this "Nagigon" thing? Ain't it usually somethin' like a tsuchinoko[1] or what have ya?

And it's real strange that Nagigon sounds so close to Nagisa-han's name.

???: ...You picked up on that quickly.

Nagisa: ...Hello there. I'm Nagigon ♪

Kohaku: Hold on, it really was Nagisa-han!

You ain't even gonna wear a costume or nothin'? You're not honestly plannin' to appear lookin' like that, are ya?

Nagisa: ...No. We have various costumes prepared. A deep-sea octopus, a lion, a kaiju... I'll cater to everyone's preferences.

Kohaku: You haven't decided yet, huh. That's real sloppy...

HiMERU: —Still, to have Ran-san come for a project like this... It's hard to believe the deputy director gave the go-ahead.

Or does he have some hidden agenda behind this proposal?

Nagisa: ...That's not it. It's probably just to vent out his frustrations.

...Lately, I've been going behind Ibara's back, showing up on variety shows and acting on my own accord. I suppose it's accurate to say that his patience has finally snapped.

Kohaku: Is that really somethin' to say with a smile on your face...?

Nagisa: ...Hehe. It seems we've become close enough for Ibara to lash out at me, so that makes me happy.

...But more importantly than that. What kind of sound do you all think a Nagigon would make?

Kohaku: Nagisa-han, you're awful particular 'bout details. You don't need to go that far for such a pointless project! ♪

HiMERU: —It seems like you're having quite a lot of fun today, Oukawa. You're more energetic than usual.

Kohaku: Mm? Really? I don't notice it much myself, so I can't rightly say.

But yeah, I've been gettin' real sick of only doin' PBB gigs lately. Even if this project's ridiculous, it feels more enjoyable ♪

HiMERU: .........

Niki: Huh? Rinne-kun, I think the staff over there's looking for you?

Rinne: Ah? What's going on? They look real stressed. Something go sideways?

Kohaku: Huh? They're cancelin' the filmin'? Just like that? The weather don't even seem to have taken a sudden turn for the worse...

HiMERU: —So that's it. It appears that information about the filming here has leaked to the outside.

Upon learning about it, several fans gathered at the base of the mountain to protest against PBB being assigned dangerous work, causing a bit of an uproar.

Kohaku: What the heck's that?! I mean, it's bad enough that info got leaked in the first place, but...!

But it's up to us to decide what kinda work we do!

Rinne: ...This is the sign of impending doom after hitting the jackpot, Kohaku-chan.

We... Well, more specifically, you and Merumeru, have been forced into a position where fans dictate your work.

Kohaku: Fans dictatin' our work...?

Rinne: PBB fans enjoy watching you two living peacefully and happily.

No one wants to see Crazy:B going on dangerous adventures in abandoned mines, not like the kinda stuff we used to do.

On the contrary, some blind, overprotective fans must be thinking like this:

"They're being forced to deal with those two bothersome Crazy:B members, taking on dangerous work they never asked for."

"Poor Kohaku-kun, we need to stop this immediately. We must protect him..." Somethin' like that.

Kohaku: Haah...? That's such unnecessary meddlin'! I chose to take this job!

Rinne: But the world don't see it that way. With PBB in the spotlight, Kohaku-chan's seen as a cute idol living a peaceful life.

That's the role society's expecting from you now, and the label that's been stuck on you.

Kohaku: .........

Rinne: Anyway. With so many fans crawling outta the woodwork, it'll be tough to keep filming.

Nagisa: ...Mhm. I've contacted Ibara. It'd be wise to withdraw for the time being.

Rinne: Them's the breaks. Kohaku-chan, stuff like this is bound to keep happening from here on out.

I was late to catch on as well, but just like I suspected, things have gone horribly wrong.
