#i'm definitely going to go back when it's not pouring with rain lmao

[pinktinselmonstrosity]

made an important purchase

[ilydeku]

senku when you're sick

- LMAO

- YOU IDIOT

- he definitely gonna make fun of you

- you'll be sniffling, sneezing, coughing, suffering in your bed when he gets home and he'll start laughing at you on the spot, lovingly of course

"...Senkuuu..." You dared to utter another word, or else a coughing fit will start to erupt. He walks up to the side of your bed after hanging his lab coat and setting down his gear, covering up his smile with his hand.

"Pfft, are you serious, y/n?" He failed to hide the laugh that escaped going forward. "You weren't like this yesterday, with all that 'Oh no, Senku! I'm not gonna get sick if I go outside in the rain, in summer wear, and measure acidity levels! I'm practically immune to this weather!-" He palmed his head as his laughter let loose from the strain.

"Shut up! It wasn't supposed to happen like this! I.." You stopped and quickly stuffed your face into your arm as violent coughs began to force out.

"Like what..? You laid in bed all day all icky?" He retorted, taking a seat on the bed. He leaned closer to you and pushed back the hair in your face before resting the back of his hand against your forehead, feeling your warm temperature. He concluded with a hypothesis of what you had, judging by your temperature and symptoms. He looked down at your vulnerable form and sighed.

"...you're one stupid girl, you know that?" He remarked as you rolled your eyes in ignorance. He leaned down again and tucked your loose strands of hair behind your ear. Your cheeks burned from the small action. "...but, you're my stupid girl, so I guess you deserve a bit of leniency."

- damn i just reread that and it got me kicking my feet giggling and shit but anyways 💀

- don't you worry one bit, senku will have you taken care of after clowning you, starting in the kitchen with an apron tied on

- he'll cook you up a nice pot of chicken noodle soup, vegetables added for nutrients

- he'll make you a steamy cup of chamomile tea with lemon and honey, of course, the amount adjusted to your likeness of sweet or lemony

- he knows liquids are very important, so expect more room temperature juices and hot teas of the such from him

- he'll also gather all the supplies of tissue and cough medicine in the house and have it set up on the nightstand on your bedside

- if you run out of tissue, he'll bring you a roll of toilet paper bc they're basically the same thing, and you'll start laughing for no reason 💀

- after every cup of tea or bowl of soup, you compliment his culinary skills, and in some cases, you thank him dearly, to which he scoffs and rolls his eyes in response

- but in reality, it makes his heart beat a lil faster, makes him smile

- if your illness is way out of what he expected, he'll go out of his way to diagnose you, taking a small sample from you and checking the bacteria for himself under a microscope

- he'll do anything for you in order for your health to get back up to par

- except maybe one thing

"But Senkuuu I don't like that medicine..." you complained, eyeing the tiny cup of thick dark blue that he poured for you to take earlier. "It's gross...like drinking liquid metal chemicals."

"Y/n you're acting like a child. Of course, it's going to taste like that, it's medicine. Now, go ahead and take it already." He turned around to exit the room, but he was struck behind by the pillow you'd thrown.

"...I'll only take it if you give it to me." He turned around and stared at you. You stared right back at his crimson-red eyes as you crossed your arms. A long, heavy sigh escaped from his mouth as he picked up your pillow and made his way over to your side of the bed.

"Fine. But only because this medicine is really for your own good. It's important you take."

"Yeah, yeah, okay." You sat up while he first stuffed the thrown pillow behind your back. He picked up the cup with his fingers while the other hand cupped your cheek, his thumb resting just above your chin and under your bottom lip. Before he began the action, you stopped him mid track. "No I...I want you to give it to me from..." Your hand motions finished your words. Your thumb brushed over lips in a coy manner, but Senku could read in between the lines.

"Ew," he muttered stonely. "Why the hell would do something like that?" Rhetorical question, y/n.

"...it'd taste sweeter coming from your lips." You wiggled your eyebrows teasingly.

"..." He sighed once more, pinching his nose bridge. "...If you wanted to kiss me that badly, you should've said so in the first place," he chuckled, a smirk beginning to form. "You know I give what you ask for, y/n...Now, close your eyes." He ordered before filling his mouth with the medicine from the tiny cup. He leaned down, cupping your face and brushing his lips against yours, allowing you to part them a little. Then, his landed on yours, followed by the liquid slowly dripping down your throat. You quickly swallowed to capture his lips in an embrace, savoring the warmth you shared.

how abt hcs abt gn teen (around 15-16) reader being kaeya’s biological younger sibling !!

if we have each other.

summary. what is it like being kaeya's teen younger sibling?

trigger & content warnings. child abandonment.

tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. fluff, slight angst. kaeya & younger sibling!reader. 0.7k words. they/them pronouns for reader.

author's thoughts. anon omg... ive been wanting an excuse to write something like this again for a while! i am a professional platonic kaeya enjoyer <3 anyway i hope you like these!!! i decided not to go into the whole ragnvindr family drama thing because honestly? i go into that a little too often when i write about kaeya. i chose to give him a break today!

i see kaeya being very protective of his sibling. he's not so protective that it comes off as overbearing, but he's definitely very involved in their life only because he just... doesn't know what he'd do with himself if he let them get hurt.

given that he basically had to raise them...

it makes sense for him to be so involved. sure, he had help from the ragnvindr family, but kaeya did the most work when it came to raising his baby sibling.

when his father abandoned him in mondstadt, he also abandoned his youngest child, [name]. they were about two or three at the time.

he doesn't necessarily hold the same resentment towards the seven that other khaenri'ahns might, though he doesn't exactly lean in their favor either.

still... kaeya thanked the seven that they didn't get deathly sick (they were so young and frail that it really was a valid concern) that night in the pouring rain, despite how badly they shivered and cried. he'll never forget how utterly visceral their sobs were.

he doesn't doubt that they understood what was happening that night, despite how little they were.

because of that, kaeya doesn't hide anything from them. he tells them the entire truth about their origins as soon as they're old enough to coherently ask why their father abandoned them.

when kaeya and [name] were young, they were absolutely attached at the hip. once they're both older, they aren't seen together as much, but that isn't to say they aren't seen together; it's just that kaeya does have obligations as a knight and his sibling has their own commitments.

he loves them wholeheartedly.

if he had to betray khaenri'ah to protect them, archons know he'd do it. if he had to betray mondstadt to protect them, archons know he'd do it. he doesn't care as long as it means they'll be safe.

to kaeya, they are probably the most precious thing he has—ever since his falling out with diluc, at least. well... they were always his most precious thing. after his falling out with diluc, it just made them moreso.

part of the reason he despises those who threaten others' families is simply because of his sibling.

he does not take threats to their safety lightly, not at all.

kaeya's a very good brother overall, but he is 100% also the most annoying mf.

he's the type of older brother that makes his sibling do things for him and then guilt trips them when they tell him to do it himself LMAO

i feel like he can cry on command and does it just to make them feel bad when they tell him no!

you know that "i'm hungry. grill me a cheese" audio? yeah.

Kaeya: I'm hungry.

[Name]: So lick that coat, you smell like a—

Kaeya: Grilled cheese.

[Name]: What????

Kaeya: Grill me a cheese.

[Name]: I'm not grilling you a cheese!

Kaeya, sobbing on the floor:

[Name]: ...Oh, for Barbatos' sake.

kaeya, as protective as he is, is also very laid-back. his sibling has just about as much freedom as they could want (within reason, of course).

kaeya, his sibling, and klee are a chaos trio. the three of them have lit a concerning amount of things on fire.

he's very physically affectionate!

ruffling their hair, leading them along by the dip in their back, shoving them (lovingly)... he's clingy, really, and just likes being able to touch his sibling because it reminds him that they're safe and alive.

if they ever wanted to become a knight, he's right there to support them. if they wanted to become an adventurer, again, he's there to help them out.

whatever they want to do with their life, he's their greatest cheerleader.

kaeya will always support them, but he's also very tough on them when it comes to training them physically if their aspiration demands physical strength.

they want to be a knight? an adventurer? a traveler, perhaps? alright, but they need to take him down in a fight first.

he makes every duel with him the hardest fight of their life.

kaeya needs to be confident that they can effectively defend themselves, and if he isn't? sorry. they aren't going anywhere until he is certain beyond a shadow of a doubt. he needs to know they can handle themselves, because—as much as he hates to admit it—he may not always be there to protect them.

wouldn't it be interesting if they got a vision while in a duel with him?

that'd be a very fascinating twist of fate.

please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

RE: chapter 22

First of all, Kyle and the reader falling asleep in THAT position?! 11/10 writing. They must have been beyond exhausted to end up like that, and I can almost feel the back and leg pain.

Also, can we get a professional pedicure session with the reader and all the guys soon? A little self-care/funny moment (and probably some ticklish feet) would be perfect after all the angst. They definitely deserve it! And taking care of their omega by going to self-care appointments with her sounds adorable—like those little acts of service, such as filling her plate for her. Still hoping Simon will start doing that (or other similar acts) soon. I would just MELT.

The training scene? I’m DECEASED. SCRUMPTIOUS. There’s definitely drugs in your writing. Impatiently waiting for my next dose, but please take your time to marinate the next chapter in your wonderful brain.

Can‘t believe Simon couldn’t be late just ONE TIME? Like, PLEASE. What’s going on in his brain? (Not so subtle request for more Ghostly thoughts.) (I wouldn’t say no to Soapy or Gazy or Pricey thoughts either—I just want to dig into all their brains and soak up everything. How did they all feel when the reader and Simon came into the mess? No jealousy at all? Not even Price? Any reactions from other people that the reader missed but they noticed?)

Anywaysss - Back to the topic: Ghost definitely knows what he did, right? There’s no way he doesn’t notice her scent when walking to the mess, especially after inhaling it so directly from her neck for what felt like quite some time. You can't tell me he didn’t get a little drunk off it (as Price later mentions, "a mixture someone could get drunk off of"), but apparently not drunk enough to be just A LITTLE LATE. UGH. WHY?? (You’re torturing us!) (Price ignoring his alarm made up for it slightly (also him being in charge so he can be late without consequence, YES), but pleaseeee gimme more Simon pls pls pls)

The last scene? Straight out of a movie. Heavy pouring rain, unsaid feelings, the angst. Loved it, hated it, need more.

He’s so straightforward and quick with how he’s telling her and just leaving right after, not wasting a second. Painful, but it makes me wonder if he’s almost "fleeing" to avoid dragging it out and making it harder on the reader—or even himself. Maybe he’s trying to just focus on doing his job and coming back as soon as possible?

And then the reader trudging back, soaked and miserable, with Johnny holding the door open…he definitely saw the tears, right? Even though her skin was already wet from the rain. Plus, the reader was probably giving off some scent of sadness. So hiding the tears wouldn’t really do much. What happens after??? And when will she finally tell SOMEONE about the cameras that were in her room?

Can you tell I live for this story?

💚

Aaah first of all, thank you!!! I'm so glad you've been enjoying it so far!! 💚💚💚

I've fallen asleep in a similar position (not doing that) back when I injured my back and 0/10 would recommend. The cramping and pain in the hips and back and legs is not worth it 😭

Omg that would be so cute. Just four big, buff men walking into a nail salon wanting pedicures 😂 I love it. Ugh it's the sweet little things that get me (can you tell my love language is acts of service??)

Would you believe the training scene was one of the first I wrote for this chapter?? It was like the only idea I had for it when I started writing lmaooo. Oh trust me, it's marinating. I also think about this fic 24/7.

Simon has a schedule to keep, ya know?? Lmao I'd write the entire fic from Simon's POV in a heartbeat. 😂 I'd probably write it from all of their POVs if I had enough time and energy.

Simon may have been a little scent drunk 🤭 that's why things got as far as they did. (I realized I'd been neglecting Price for a while and had to throw in a little tidbit for him to make up for it lol)

I may or may not have been channeling The Notebook (which I've only seen once believe it or not) a bit in that scene. Pouring rain, strong emotions, someone leaving for an unknown amount of time. Delicious.

Oh Simon definitely wanted to stay and he was rushing to avoid talking himself out of leaving. He knows he has a job to do, and he's a loyal soldier, but so soon after he finally allowed himself to develop this relationship with the reader? Brutal.

They'll find out the whole truth soon, don't worry. It is coming...soon. Soon. Soonish. Ish.

Eventually.

[imagine-that-fanfics]

Long day

Steve x reader fic

Woo this took me way too long to right lmao but here’s this, I might make a part 2 to this at some point, first Steve fic I’ve written but I have plenty of others in the works

Female reader, most of it is GN though just a few of the nicknames are fem but you could easily change them in your head, not completely proof read so apologise for any mistakes or bad writing lol

It had been a long day, and when you say 'a long day' you mean a really long fucking day. Luckily the day had finally came to an end and you were headed home, the rain was pouring down heavy, window wipers on full, you were about a half hour away from your house when suddenly all hell seemed to erupt from your engine, "no, no, no! don't do this to me now! wait until I'm home please!" you begged the car as if it would listen however it didn't and instead decided it had had enough and with one last sputter came to a halt. "fuck!" you groan and slump over resting your head against the steering wheel "can this day get any worse!?" you whine quietly to yourself

You’re not sure how much time passes but the rain doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon so you finally decide to give up on waiting, just as you're about to turn to your back seat to grab your jacket a flash of headlights catch your eye, you sigh and hope that who ever it was would stop and help you out, you also hoped that whoever it was it wasn't some creep. The mystery car must have spotted you as it pulled over just behind yours. you're preparing yourself for whatever was to come, when suddenly there's a knock at your window, as you're winding it down your face drops as you realise just who had stopped to come to your rescue, a shit eating grin had crossed his face once he had recognised you 'spoke to soon' you thought to yourself "need a lift?" he asked almost smug, you glare at the boy "from you? I think I'll pass" you scoffed He shook his head and let out a small chuckle in disbelief "come on, its pouring down and it doesn't look like this old thing is gonna get you home anytime soon, so what do you say little lady? not like you got any other options, I doubt that anyone else will be coming this way at this time of night and definitely not in this weather." you send another glare his way "first, don't ever call me that and second I'd rather get drenched and walk home than spend any time in your company" he lets out another chuckle and shakes his head "aw come on sweetheart I ain't that bad" a smirk grows on his face as you scoff "I'd beg to differ" a small moment passes and you sigh not actually wanting to get home drenched in rain "alright fine, you can take me home" you finally gave in, reluctantly taking the keys out of your ignition and grabbing a few things you needed out of the car before getting out and quickly running and getting into his.

Steve follows behind and gets into the drivers seat laughing to himself as he throws his umbrella into the back seat. "what?" you grumble and he turns to face you once he's put his seatbelt on "you, you say you'd rather walk and get drenched and yet as soon as you're out your car you go running to mine" he smirks and you roll your eyes " whatever Harrington, just drive, the quicker we get going the sooner this will be over" Steve shakes his head, starts the car and pulls away "sheesh, I'm just teasing, loosen up a little would ya?" "not in the mood Harrington, so for the love of god for the rest of this journey keep quiet" you huff as you turn to face out the window you leaned your arm against the door and place your head in you hand as you watched the rain fall. Steve didn't respond and the drive is quiet, well for the first five minutes anyway, he had been giving you quick glances from time to time thinking of the best way to break the silence. eventually he cleared his throat and spoke "so, what were you doing all the way out here at this time for anyway?" you let out a small groan "none of your business Harrington!" "alright, alright, geez was just tryna make some conversation" you scoffed “didn’t I literally tell you to keep quiet though” there’s a short silence that feels like it was hours where you realised you had been a bit snippyer than you should’ve been you sigh before speaking up again “look it’s just been a long day okay, I do not have the energy to deal with all your “Steveness” okay” steve rolled his eyes at that before smirking “oh please you love all my “steveness” as you call it” “yeah just as much as I love dropping something heavy on my toes” you rolled your eyes “yeah you keep telling yourself that, but come on really, what’s got your panties all up in a twist?” You groan slightly “you’re not gonna shut up until I tell you huh?” Steve smirks “nope” “fine, if you must know I found my so called boyfriend was cheating on me this morning, I got into a stupid fight with my mom, my brother seems to be avoiding me for some unknown reason then all night I’ve had to deal with asshole customer and now my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere in the pouring rain and now I’m having to deal with you so there that’s what’s bothering me, happy now?” You let out a deep sigh and turn back to look out the window resting your head against your hand. “Sheesh… that sounds like a lot… sorry”. Those words shocked you to say the least, you never would have thought that THE Steve Harrington would feel bad for you never mind bad enough to apologise for something he didn’t need to apologise for, it annoyed you a little “I don’t need your pity Harrington, just get me home” Steve stayed silent after that not fully sure what to say which was unusual for him he noted.

The journey was filled mostly with silence with the faint sound of the radio on the background, Steve had been stealing quick glances at you not that you noticed too preoccupied with watching the trees pass. Steve deciding the silence was too unbearable cleared his throat before speaking “I’m sure he’s not” your face contorts into confusion as you turn to him “what?” “Dustin, I’m sure he’s not avoiding you, at least not intentionally” “why makes you say that?” Steve let’s out a chuckle “because that kid adores you dude, he never shuts up about how cool you are and how you’re definitely the best older sibling out of the group, always says he wishes you’d hang out with the group more like you used to” your face relaxes happy to hear that Dustin doesn’t hate you but your heart sinks when you hear that he wishes you were around more, Steve notices the look on your face change “shit sorry I didn’t… he fully understands that you’re busy with work and your own friends… he doesn’t hold it against you or anything he” you interrupt him “it’s fine Steve… you don’t need to…” you shake your head slightly knowing he was trying to make you feel a little better, you agreed that you were busy with work and with the people you called friends which if you really thought about it they weren’t really your friends more your exs’ but that was no excuse for not hanging with your brother and his friends at all, you loved those kids as if they were all your siblings, you let out a small sigh “what’s worse is that those guys weren’t really my friends, well I guess I’ll just have to make it up to Dustin and the party” you ran your hand through your hair in slight frustration, Steve gave you a soft understanding smile one that made your heart skip, what the hell was that? And what happened to Steve, this isn’t the Steve you knew, he seemed different, you knew he had been babysitting the kids a lot lately which shocked you at first but let it go, then of course there was Dustin who almost always went on about Steve and how awesome he was now but you couldn’t believe he had changed that much I mean, he was the biggest douche in school but there he was trying to make you feel better about the fact that you had basically ditched your brother and the party over some guy and his friends it was odd to say the least.

The car finally pulled into the Henderson household and you let out a slight sigh in relief which Steve heard and scoffed playfully “geez Henderson at least try and pretend you don’t hate me” your eyes widened slightly “n-no that’s not…I’m just glad to be home, I…” wait why were you trying to explain yourself? It shouldn’t matter what he thought but still a part of you didn’t want him to think you really hated him, sure you thought he was a dick but hates a strong word and you didn’t want him thinking that… why didn’t you want him to think that? You shook your head slightly Steve grinned at you playfully and your stomach flipped as you saw it,you quickly shook the feeling “uhm thanks for the ride” getting out of the car quickly and heading to your front door, Steve got out the car and leaned against it as he shouted your name, you turned looking at him in anticipation, Steve smiled “can’t wait to see you around more” he turned getting back into his car “oh and your boyfriend was an idiot” he said before driving off leaving you slightly stunned, your heart fluttering, what the hell was that? You thought to yourself before entering your house.

20 questions for fic writers!

tagged my @thotpuppy!! &lt;3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

209

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,195,283

3. What fandoms do you write for?

on AO3, i have posted for: Teen Wolf Merlin Raven Cycle Captive Prince Dark Rise Supernatural (crossover w/TW) once upon a time, back in FFN days, i also wrote and posted for Harry Potter (primarily) and then one each for Newsies, Little Mermaid II, and Twilight. none of these fics ever got finished lmao.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Metamorphose (Merlin, Merthur, 7750 kudos) Happiness is Effortless (TW, Sterek, 7746 kudos) Much Ado About You Two (TW, Sterek, 7046 kudos) I'll Dissolve When The Rain Pours In... (TW, Stackson, 6172 kudos) We Duel At Dawn (Merlin, Merthur, 4949 kudos)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i respond to all my comments!! (except for comments on old suspended WIPs that ask if i'm writing more, which i let sit in my inbox to haunt me like a beating heart under my floorboards slowly driving me insane until i figure out if i am writing more or if i can definitively tell them it's abandoned alkfdgh) i've been stuck recently though and have let my inbox get backed up for a month, so i really need to go on a reply spree soon 😭 it's just a point of pride, i guess? i made the decision that i would Respond To All Comments/Reviews I Ever Get when i first started posting back on FFN in ye olden days (like 2008 lol), and i've been pretty darn good at keeping that promise to myself. and i just think it's nice!! FFN had private messaging, and a lot of those responses turned into whole conversations and friendships that lasted for months. community engagement is a good thing and i like reaching back to the people who reach out to me.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

proooobably These Gordian Knots We Tie (Sterek)😅 though An Empty Glass Is An Ugly Mirror (Dydia) is also pretty bleak.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

uuhhh most of them??? i write a lot of fluff, LOL, i wouldn't know how to pick out just one that stands above the rest when the vast majority of my posted oneshots are sappy as fuck 😂

8. Do you get hate on fics?

i really don't, tbh. which i count myself lucky for, cuz i hear a lot of horror stories. but i've only gotten a small handful of negative comments, most of which were bitching about disagreeing with the characters' choices. i don't think i've ever fielded personal attacks or what ye olden FFNers would've called flames, lol. proportionally, they're negligible.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

on occasion. out of my 209 fics, only 13 of them are explicit, which is roughly 6% lol. including my 7 mature fics (not all of which are rated so for smut, i don't think) ups that to 9.5% 😂 i'm just not very interested in writing smut, not to mention it's both difficult and kind of boring and repetitive when you think about it. i feel like i'm notorious for romances that use one kiss as the climactic ending, if even that, haha. when i do (rarely) write smut, it's usually in dedicated pwp format, rather than integrated into a larger story, cuz i just feel like most larger stories (mine, at least) don't need it 🤷🏻‍♀️

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

the only crossover that i've written and posted was Teen Wolf/Supernatural, cuz i just could not resist the urge to have Allison call the Winchesters and tell them that her father had gone on a hunting trip and he hadn't been home in a while. i just needed that in my life, and i was offended that no one else had written it. also i thought that Dean "Easily Flustered By Flirtatious Men" Winchester should really meet Stiles "Doe Eyes, Witty Banter Someone Needs To Sex Me Right Now" Stilinski. for reasons.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i have! the reason that i teeechnically have a wattpad account is because someone yoinked To Be A King wholesale and posted it over there themselves, and i needed an account to be able to message them to take it tf down. weirdly, they changed some of the names, but not the distinctive names? the identifying names?? like Mordred or the names of my OCs. it was an odd choice. anyway, they took it down immediately with no other response. i think that's been the only time, as far as i'm aware.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

i've got 15 translations listed in my related works 😍 8 of them by the same industrious person, bless them.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

not since that one disaster of an attempt with a friend in early high school, lmao. that's when i realized that i am a control freak with high and unforgiving standards. she was writing her parts 1) badly and 2) WRONG and it drove me up the wall. i can't handle not having complete control of the narrative 😅 i write alone.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

that's not faaaiiiiiir, patently impossible to answer, next question

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

if i don't finish For Shell And Safety someday, it'll be a fucking tragedy, cuz i'm really proud of that one and i was so so invested in it when i started it and i've still got Thoughts on how it's supposed to end, i just got stalled out in the middle of it and never found my momentum again. but.....it's been 6.5 fucking years. however, i feel like, because i do still have those thoughts and plans, that one might have a better chance than REM-DAC, because THAT one stalled out right before it was supposed to be over due to the sudden realization that i actually wanted there to be a sequel and i couldn't tie up the loose ends in the first fic without knowing how to set up for the second one. but. i never figured out concretely what i wanted to happen in the second one. and it's been 5.5 years there too. still no concrete plans. so, despite that one also being a GREAT FIC that i'm VERY PROUD OF and deeply invested in, i will have to at some point accept the reality of how low the odds are that i will ever actually get back into the swing of it and finish what i fucking started. they haunt me.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i'm really not quite sure 🤔 strengths and weaknesses are easier to tell from an outside perspective, lol. i feel like i write good natural-feeling dialogue. at least, the professor in the one short story technique workshop i took in college told me as much 😂 said i had the best dialogue in the class. been riding that high for a decade aldkfjghf

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

idkkkkkk 😅😅😅 pacing maybe?? like, long form pacing in lengthier narratives??

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i have avoided it so far, lkajdfgh. objectively, i think it can be done well and it can be done badly, and different methods serve different purposes so it depends on the story which is most appropriate. the online medium provides more avenues for it than print, like the hover text translations that used to be more popular before phones/touchscreens without cursors became the most prominent way to read things, or superscript links to footnotes with translations. some people put the translation directly into the narrative like an echo, but that gets really tedious really fast, and it would be simpler and more streamlined to just cut out the other language entirely and say "XYZ" he said, in french instead. overall, my preferred method is to filter it through the understanding of the POV character and their potentially limited/imperfect grasp of that other language. if they don't know what's being said, we don't know what's being said. if they pick out some words and get the gist, we see their thought process of figuring it out. it informs our understanding of the character, as well as providing an obstacle and creating tension. if you want to include a full translation of the foreign text, you can in endnotes or a postscript, but i don't really think it's necessary. if people wanna find out what it says, google translate is free 🤷🏻‍♀️ probably best not to use google translate to write the thing, though. if it's not a language you speak, preferably find someone who does speak it to translate, to make sure it's accurate and not butchered. hence me avoiding writing anything that requires other languages 😂 cuz i'm a monolingual usamerican loser who doesn't want to go to as much trouble as it would require to branch out like this. i am a "so-and-so said something unintelligibly french" bitch.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

cut my teeth on Harry Potter back in the day

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

another patently impossible question, i have no answer for this, i love all my fics equally (or at least in tiers uwu)

Love In The Air episode 3 live reaction under the cut (long post)

Prapai is actually such a cutie

But so is Payu when he's smiling to himself (a smile that's usually meant for Rain)

Rain is baby tho

And Sky has their shared braincell like 99% of the time

Why is he writing on the board in English lol

And the way the camera pans over "How to date him in 30 days" and then snaps back to "him" xD

Love how Sky asks but then accepts it with no further questions <3

Also Rain keeps pretending he's only doing this so Payu will stop calling him stupid but it was Rain himself who decided that the only way to get Payu to stop was to make him fall in love (totally logical conclusion ofc that has nothing to do with the fact that he would have let Payu do whatever he wanted to him in that bathroom stall)

Rain should have brought gifts or notes to leave for Payu when he wasn't there come on dude make him think of you

OH. PRAPAI AND SKY DEFINITELY ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON!!! Prapai was in a good mood and said it was thanks to Payu - and Sky didn't elaborate on what happened that night and just said he was fine AND NOW HE'S WALKING IN WITH A BIG FAT HICKEY ON HIS NECK boiiiis you ain't slick

Sky is so done with Rain lmao

Hahaha the dude working at the garage is the real MVP he's the shipper the matchmaker the enabler the supporter the sidekick that makes Payu's plan work I love him

PAHAHAHA RAIN FORCING HIMSELF TO BE POLITE

Payu really has a thing for politeness, huh? Or is it just about being dominant 👀

RAIN PRETENDING HE DOESN'T LIKE PAYU AND DOESN'T CARE BOIII DROP THE ACT

Rain is such a little brat I LOVE their dynamic

He's actually playing hard to get which means Payu ends up having to work for it (which only works because Payu is already interested) which does in fact help with making him fall in love

RAIN ANNOUNCING THAT HE'S HITTING ON PAYU TO THE WHOLE RESTAURANT LMAO

PAYU WANTING TO BE FED AND RAIN GOING "you have hands" I FUCKING CAN'T WITH THESE TWO who thought the cute one would be the cold one and the cool guy would be all soft and smiley

"Try replacing my 'stupid' with 'cute'" SO EVERY TIME HE SAID STUPID HE MEANT CUTE THIS MAN IS ALREADY HEAD OVER HEELS

And Rain gets sooooo shy about it awwwww babyyyyyyy and his smile is so adorable aaaaaa

Sky is still so done with Rain (same bby) and the guy behind Rain is fascinated with the taste of his pen cap wtf is going on

Rain still playing hard to get huh

And Aon getting caught in the middle of PayuRain

Every time Rain plays hard to get a little smile breaks through his stern face bc he can't contain the butterflies he gets from Payu's affection and I think that's beautiful

"What are you looking at?" - "A cutie." <3<3<3

OHMYGAWD THE CUTENESS

The shippers lmaoooo I love them

NOOO DON'T TAKE A NAP YOU'LL BE LATE

The dream tho lol

NOOO RAIN YOU GOTTA PERSIST

He doesn't accept comforting from his crush but goes to see Payu awwwwww

The way Payu packs up his things IMMEDIATELY so he can go home and comfort Rain who's been waiting for him in the pouring rain

THE WAY HE GETS DOWN ON ONE KNEE AND EXTENDS HIS ARMS TO RAIN WHO'S SITTING ON THE FLOOR aaaaaa this is so beautiful he's offering physical contact but leaving the choice up to Rain unlike Ple who squeezed Rain's arm AND RAIN GOES FOR THE HUG which mirrors how he removed Ple's hand from his arm I AM NEVER GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS

He called him good boy oh my

How to make him fall in love with you: break down crying in his arms

"I'm here if you want to talk" THE PLE PARALLELS ARE ACCUMULATING

Payu actually helping Rain to learn from his mistakes and agreeing with his teacher but also sympathizing with him aaaaaaaa so wholesome and healthy

HE CALLED HIM NAUGHTY BOY how many more nicknames does this guy have for Rain

I just need them to kiss again please

"You'll get sick. I don't want to take care of you." HIS LITTLE SMILE WHEN HE PULLED AWAY MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME

Bonus scene: AWWW HE REALLY WAS CRUSHING FROM THE START

[crinkled-emotions]

Day 27: Midday phone calls

....? I wish I knew what I was thinking when I wrote this as a prompt.

The next fic is daggers in Australia and I'm SO excited, but it's going to need a big ass author's note. Don't worry, I'm only going to put that on AO3, I don't feel like rocking the boat here (for the 4 people that read my fics lmao)

-

Hadley and Rhett had been up before the sun, Rhett heading out to the Abbott ranch with a list of jobs longer than his arm and Hadley to their own small barn to do some in-hand work with Jester. She’d kissed him goodbye when the sun was only just peaking through the clouds, coffee in one hand and her phone in the other whilst she ordered feed... and a new pair of boots for Rhett. He’d never admit it but his had definitely seen better days considering there were holes in both big toes and one on the sole which she blamed for the cold (flu) he’d had in the winter.

With feed ordered and Rhett’s boots on the way, Hadley had pulled on her own boots and headed out to catch Jester. He was on a riding break but Hadley wanted to keep his mind active and his body supple so she’d picked a couple of exercises to try with him either by lunging or in-hand. Rhett’s horse tended to stay on the Abbott ranch so Hadley, to keep Jester company whilst Whiskey was gone, kept a couple sheep on the property as well.

-

Jester was trotting up and down the fence line when Hadley finally got to him, halter in hand. The second she got close he took off for the back of the paddock, a game he’d been playing since Hadley got him almost two years ago and she’d never been able to work him out of it. Her little internal joke was that Rhett and Jester were very similar; if you got too close before they were ready, they’d bolt.

A carrot usually worked.

“Hey, Jester! C’mon mate, aren’t you hungry? I already made your breakfast!”

Hadley watched her gelding toss his head, but then made his way over and let her put his halter on. They headed back toward the barn when Hadley heard the gentle rumble of thunder overhead and instinctively glanced toward Jester just in case he spooked. Jester’s ears pricked forward but he didn’t tense, following beside her like nothing happened.

“Maybe we’ll put a hold on that in-hand work today, huh buddy? The weather report said no rain but I should know better than to trust that bastard.”

They got into the barn and Hadley walked Jester into his stall, taking off his halter and leaving it on the hook outside. With a pat to his shoulder Hadley put his feed in the stall and leaned back on a bale of hay to check the weather app again.

“Hm, I don’t see any rain warnings, but-“

A magnetic clap of thunder echoed above the barn, shortly followed by a strike of lightning. Hadley grimaced.

“Yeah, nah. Nah, yeah.”

-

Once the thunder and lightning started Hadley resigned herself to the fact that it wasn’t safe to work with Jester even if he didn’t particularly mind the weather but the second she heard the soft sound of rain she pressed a kiss to his nose and tossed a rug over him to keep him warm. She had plenty of work to do inside and it wasn’t worth risking injury in the stables if she could be productive in the house as well. Jester happily took the carrot from Hadley as she said goodbye, doing up her jacket and pulling the hood over her head to walk back to the house in the rain. A quick check of her phone told her it was almost 9am and she texted Rhett composed a quick text to Rhett on her jog back.

Hadley: pouring rain here

Hadley: coming home?

Rhett: can’t

Rhett: work doesn’t stop unless it’s dangerous to work

Hadley: there’s a literal thunder storm?

Rhett: hads don’t fight me on this

Hadley: I’m not!

Hadley: just be careful

Rhett: always

Hadley: I call bullshit

Rhett: yeah yeah

Hadley tossed her wet boots on to the boot rack by the doorway, shoving her jacket on to the coat hanger and wringing her hair out. Even though there was only a short distance between the barn and the deck she’d been soaked in the heavy rain and was looking forward to when the storm stopped so she could shower. She knew it was mostly an old wives tale about showering during a storm but she was superstitious enough not to risk it.

You had to be a little superstitious on the rodeo circuit; the same could be said for barrel racing.

Heading into the kitchen Hadley winced at the dishes piled up between the sink and the kitchen bench; neither she nor Rhett were particularly great at house chores but the barn would always look great and the animals always cared for. Considering it was pouring with rain Hadley figured it was a good opportunity to catch up on what they’d missed. She set to the dishes, emptying the dishwasher and reloading it then handwashing what hadn’t fit. Whilst the dishwasher ran she poked her head into the laundry and wrinkled her nose; no one likes laundry. That could be a later problem considering she hated using the dryer but Rhett used it like there was no tomorrow.

Rhett said it was an Australian thing but Hadley concluded he could learn to use a washing line.

She quickly picked up whatever was on the floors, throwing out rubbish and then going through to put away the clean washing she’d forgotten about the last time. Finally she searched for the vacuum and tried to decide how badly she wanted clean floors. The rain outside was so soothing and their couch was the perfect place for a sneaky nap. She tried not to let herself sleep during the day considering she usually was busy during the day but with a wet day like this... it was tempting. She grabbed the vacuum anyway.

-

Rhett: dad might let me go home

Rhett: we can’t ride in this

Rhett: hads?

Incoming call: Rhett

Call forwarded to voicemail

Incoming call: Rhett

Hadley stirred to her phone buzzing and she sat up, wiping at her eyes to grab it before she missed the call.

“Rhett? You okay?”

“Fine... did you fall asleep?”

“That’s nunya. What’s up, bub?”

“Just lettin’ you know I’m comin’ home for the afternoon- were you really asleep?”

“That’s nunya, Rhett!” Hadley laughed, drawing her legs to her chest. She heard Rhett chuckle and her heart warmed, leaning against the couch.

“Are you already on your way?”

“Leavin’ now.”

“Okay. Drive safe.”

“Love you.”

Hadley sucked in a breath. She’d heard it a million times and it still made her heart race.

“I love you too. See you soon.”

-

Rhett stepped into the house as quiet as he could, boots toed off on the doorstep so they wouldn’t make noise on the hardwood floors as he came in. They first went on to the boot rack then, seeing how soaked they were, he moved them to in front of the fireplace. Hadley had apparently gone back to sleep after their short phone call and Rhett pressed a kiss to her temple, reaching up to gently rub her shoulder.

“Hey, darlin’.”

Hadley hummed, a smile tugging at her lips.

“How damp are you right now?”

“Soaked to the ass, as you’d say.”

She scooted, reaching out for him. The second her hands touched his shirt she grimaced, gently pushing his hair from his face.

“Go shower and change, you really are soaked to the ass.”

“You’re not comin’?” Rhett teased, Hadley snorting.

“Nope, you can shiver through the shower on your own. At least the fire’s going so you’ll warm up pretty quick.”

Rhett pressed a kiss to her lips.

“Go back to sleep if you want. I’ll be quick.”

Hadley’s lips twitched, about to make what could be an inappropriate joke, then gently patted Rhett’s shoulder.

“Hurry up.”

-

When Rhett came back Hadley was sitting up, a cup of hot chocolate in her hand with a blanket over her lap.

“Hey you.”

Rhett, wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, ambled into the living room with his wet hair and settled on to the couch beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

“What have you been up to this mornin’?” Rhett asked, pulling the blanket over his own lap and reaching to take a sip of Hadley’s hot chocolate. Hadley winced.

“Oh, I wouldn’t, it’s probably too-“

“-did you want some hot cocoa with your sugar? Damn, Hads.”

Hadley laughed, giving him a kiss. The hot chocolate, warm and sweet on her lips, was almost exactly what he needed.

Almost.

Rhett pulled Hadley into his chest and they lay out on the couch together, blanket falling to the floor. Hadley propped her chin on his chest, reaching up to brush a thumb over his cheek.

“Can you please do the laundry at some point this week?” She asked, fluttering her eyelashes obnoxiously. She laughed when Rhett rolled his eyes then nodded.

“Yes ma’am.”

“Thanks bub.”

Hadley gently patted his chest, sighing.

“Not now though; now, we enjoy the thirty seconds we have before both of us get ants in our pants.”

“I can think of a million other things we should be doing,” Rhett murmured. Hadley hummed.

“It looks like it’s going to rain until later tonight; nothing needs to be done right this second. Let’s just... lay here.”

Rhett frowned, but he didn’t move when Hadley tossed the blanket back over them. Instead he let himself lie there, listening to the sound of rain, the sound of the thunder in the air. Hadley, breathing softly into his shoulder considering she’d been able to drift back to sleep easily. The sound of the fridge working in their kitchen, the kitchen they’d renovated together over the summer that was easily one of the biggest things Rhett regretted taking on at that time of year. The longer he lay there, the heavier his eyes got, the less he worried about what he could be- should be- doing instead. The tv was a welcome background noise as he made sure Hadley was warm then finally let himself drift off.

[mxtcha-tea]

and that's how i met you mother

✎desc; love at first sight with shiratorizawa (honestly, not all of them are love at first sight but ignore that)

✎pairing[s]; shiratorizawa 3rd years x f!reader (separate)

✎genre; fluff, crack

✎language[s]; english

✎chef note; just an excuse for me to write lovesick boys💗 (I can’t do Shirabu, Kawanishi and Goshiki’s part cause I ran out of ideas🤸‍♀️🚆)

Ushijima

It would just be a normal day in his class, learning and stuff like usual

Then after the teacher finished explaining and hand out the tasks, he'll went through his pencil case and couldn't seem to find any pen

Ushijima frowned at that and looked throughly in his pencil case but with no luck, there's none

He swore that he had put some inside, maybe his mind slipped a little?

A tap on his shoulder caught his attention as he turned his head around to make eye contact with you

You're holding out one of your pen to him with a neutral look,

"You can have it," Ushijima look at you surprised, does that mean he can just take it from you? That's a little absurd

But he didn't question it and nodded, slowly taking the pen from your hand and continue studying

The pen doesn't really sit right in his hand, it's not being his and literally someone else that he doesn't have the chance to talk to

He'll spare a glance at you every minute (ngl, he's complimenting your side view internally)

And when you caught him looking at him, he'll just blink and slowly look back at his work with a light blush on his cheeks

(Istg it's so cute)

After the class ends and before you can leave for lunch, Ushijima caught your attention first,

"Here, thank you for lending me this. And unfortunately, i can't take it from you"

You're just looking at him with a dumbfounded look before taking the pen from him,

"Ah, no problem, um..." "Ushijima Wakatoshi"

You nodded at that, scratching the back of your head "...Ushijima. And it's [y/n]"

Both of you are just standing there in front of each other but it's not awkward, surprisingly

It's as if you two are waiting for one of you to speak and end the convo

(Spoiler alert; none of you wanted to end the convo since both of you find each other interesting)

You cleared your throat, fiddling with your pen a little, "Okay, see you after this, Ushijima"

He nodded at that and with that, both of you went to your separate ways

'[Y/N], YOU AWKWARD BASTARD! THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING, I BET HE THOUGHT THAT YOU'RE WEIRD NOW!'

Ushijima's just walking towards the gym with a fairly visible blush across his cheeks as he look down

"Ushijima..."

"[y/n]..."

"I guess he's fine..."

"I guess she's fine..."

Ushijima Current Mission!

Trying to figure what other scenarios he can drag you in to have a convo with you again

Good luck Wakatoshi~!

Tendou

You and Tendou have talked with eachother a couple of times but it's nothing more than that

And Tendou actually want to talk more with you (at first for friendship points but y'know...)

Today, you look more beautiful than ever to him today

It's not like you're not beautiful every other day (he thinks you're pretty so that's why he kept on having a convo with you)

And he caught into that

Somehow, he can't help bet stare at you in a distance and he tried his best to avoid getting caught

(Tendou's scared that you find him creepy for looking at you all the time and he don't want that thought to flood you mind)

Then, you came to him to explain about the work your science teacher gave since she's absent for the time being

And you can bet that he doesn't hear a single thing you said because he's too focused on yourself

It's kinda like in those scenes in manga where the main character stare into the main interest

The main interest looking as beautiful as ever with flowers around them

Pretty eyes, angelic face, kissable lips

For him, you're perfect and he even thought that you might be an angel in disguise

No matter how you even see yourself, he would always think that you're fascinating, adorable, enticing—

"Tendou, are you okay?"

The redhead snapped out from his thought and got caught by you

By now, his face is literally mocking his hair color as he chuckled nervously,

"Ah, I'm fine! It's just that..."

He was about to stop mid sentences but thankfully he still got that crumbs of courage and just goes with it,

"...you look pretty today,"

Tendou said with a closed eyes smile, peeking an eye open and trying to see your reaction (ngl he's nervous)

You blinked

Before you literally exploded at that which is what make him surprised in his seat

You fake coughed, looking away and avoiding eye contact,

"Thanks...."

[love meter +10!]

If this is an actual manga or anime, there could've been hearts dancing around him

Timeskip to Tendou at his home and squealing quietly to himself (he can't let his family hear him fanboying for someone in his school lmao)

"We're totally going to marry 3 years from now on~" he says to himself in the mirror with so many confidence

(I just love it when Tendou act like that, let him have his moment)

"Haha, thank you gods for creating me and [y/n] in the same world,"

Tendou's Current Mission!

Getting to know you better and give tons and tons of compliments, just like in the simulations! Specifically otomes and dating games

Try your best Satori~!

Semi

It was another day, another practice session

Except that it went longer than Semi expected, he managed to run from the gym to the main entrance

But before he can even put on his shoes, heavy rain started pouring down

He look at the dark grey sky, resting his forehead onto the shoe locker with one shoe already in his foot while the other in his hand

Sighing, Semi thought about asking to come with Tendou and Yamagata since he didn't bring his umbrella

But on second thought, he realized that they prolly forgot theirs too

And all 3 of them have to run under the rain again like last time

Yamagata and Tendou: "We can avoid the rain if we're fast enough!"

He shivered at that their words and the thought of getting terribly sick again

And before Semi's brain can process a strategy for himself, he was caught off guard when an umbrella was opened next to him,

"Ah sorry,"

In those few seconds, everything went slow motion when your eyes catches his

(He swore it felt like in the anime)

He can feel his cheeks flushing a little but thanks to the wheater, it's not obvious

"Hello?" Semi snapped from his thoughts, shaking his head before focusing on you again,

"Sorry, sorry, um—" "You don't have an umbrella?"

He blinked, shaking his head slightly

It's a pretty peaceful staring between you two with the rain hitting the ground as background sounds

Until you lift your umbrella up, and pointed at the small spot next to you with your thumb,

"Here, I'll help you,"

"Eh?"

Semi was flabbergasted a little at your statement but would he decline it?

Of course not,

"Just tell me where your house is then I help you go there,"

And that's how he find himself back at his house's entrance with you in front of him,

"And that's why I just let you walk with me for the afternoon,"

"Is that so, oh wait! I haven't known your name, and you prolly haven't known my name either..."

He scratched the back of his neck before looking at you with a smile,

"The name's Semi Eita, thanks for the walk back home,"

Your lips parted a little before in turns into a tooth rotting smile,

"[y/n], no problem and thanks for the company, Eita,"

An arrow pierced through his heart as his face is literally the color of Tendou's hair

And just like that, you left him on the entrance with a funny expression upon his face

Cutting the scene to Semi punching his pillow (rip pillow)

"You already caught me off guard already but you really had to look at me like that...."

Semi's Current Mission!

Try to find you the next day after first period and try not to be awkward with you and his convo after the eventful day

You can do it Eita~!

Yamagata

Let's just say that,

Yamagata went through the late anime girl scenario

But with his toast falling down from his mouth while running towards his school

And his stamina almost running low despite being a volleyball player and a libero

(His house's prolly far from his school, cut him some slacks sheesh)

He's pretty much stumbling a lot when he enters the school and speed walking up the stairs

Some of the students look at him weirdly but that doesn't become his main concern because a strict teacher is going first

Yamagata's almost there, almost reaching his classroom's door

But god had other plans and place an invisible rock in front of him

And as you can tell, he slipped on it and now facepalming the floor

(The sound is so loud my lord)

He groaned, shaking a little while trying to sit up from his position

The male look up and is now face to face with you, who's looking down at him

Okay he might be delusional from the impact but is he actually looking at an angel right now?

"Dude, you okay? That's gotta hurt from the sound that it made—"

Your words drowned inside his mind as he widened his eyes with pink tints decorating his cheeks

'This...THIS IS IT!'

"—also I think your nose is bleed—"

"PLEASE MARRY ME!!"

You flinched at that but keep a calm face, a little bit concerned that he may hit his head too hard

While Yamagata is just having heart eyes for you, sparkles around him after saying those words almost too confidently

He doesn't know what's in him that make him think that you're the one,

But he definitely can feel it

You sighed, crouching down while searching through your pocket and pulling out a small pack of tissues,

"I think we're going so fast right now but no, maybe 5 years later or never,"

"Does that mean you agree??"

"I don't know, you're handsome but also stupid, a himbo I think,"

You wipe away the blood dripping down his nose, taking his arm, opening it and put the bloodied tissue on it before closing it, giving a light tap,

"Now go to the nurse office,"

"Will you be there for me?"

"No,"

You help him stand up, dusting his shoulder and walk away as if nothing happened

Yamagata watches you from the distance with a lovesick smile

Tendou laughed behind him with Ushijima and Reon next to him and Semi looking at Yamagata, confused,

"Hayato, I have no idea if you had your alarm on but you just came to school during recess,"

"She's perfect...also, I think I need to go to the nurse right now cause my head hurts,"

Yamagata's Current Mission!

Marry [y/n]

Have fun, Hayato~!

Reon

(He will have the best love at first sight cause I say so)

It was the school festival and it's lively in every corner of the school, the outside, inside the classrooms, even the hallways

Reon had just finished his part of his classroom and now can walk around to enjoy the festival

Honestly, it's a pretty normal day to him despite being the school's festival

The students of Shiratorizawa has always been this lively so it's good that they can be keep the atmosphere as how it is like any other days

Since the others are still working on their parts, Reon was all by himself

Sure, the quiet sounds without Tendou, Semi and Yamagata is fine but he prefer it being loud anyway

A short of way to fill in the boring silence

But what's the bad thing to enjoy the peace once in a while?

So he take a small walk outside the Shiratorizawa building

Stalls decorated the outside with students busy serving the customers

He was greeted by some of them as he greeted them back with a warm smile

Hands inside his pocket while looking at the sky every few seconds

Baby blue sky with fluffy white clouds, it is the spring afterall

It was at that moment where he turn his head around and caught your eyes

It was something between those few seconds that a lighting strike between the string connecting you two for a second

Reon knew he did from the moment you two clashed with each other so suddenly

It was...not love at first sight exactly,

But rather, familiarity, like,

'Oh, hello, it's you. It's going to be you,'

The staring prolly lasted more than he expected before you snapped out from your thought, shaking your head,

"Sorry! Didn't mean to..." "But you didn't do anything?" He rose an eyebrow, smiling sheepishly and watch your panic slowly dissolves

"Well, technically yeah but It was bad of me to stare off at you like that,"

He chuckled, your heart clenching at that,

"Don't worry, I think I did it too...maybe both of us did,"

"Ah, yeah! Probably..." you fiddled with your fingers, visibly nervous facing him since he's basically a stranger even tho being in the same school,

"Reon Oohira," "Eh?" You look at him with confusion at first, while he just offers you a smile,

"My name, since we have...how to say it, meet each other? And I don't want to make you uncomfortable after all that so I think it's best if we introduce ourselves,"

Your heart's basically beating out loudly that you'll afraid that he'll hear it

But, that doesn't seem so bad, does it?

You mirrored his smile, this time more confidently than before,

"[y/n] [l/n], nice to meet you Reon!"

"Please,"

Reon put his hand onto your head, "Just call me Hira,"

You fainted

"She's interesting, I love her,"

Reon's Current Mission!

Get to know you better and honestly, there's nothing else to do after that other than asking you out

You'll do great, Oohira~!

[sizzlingpatrolfox]

Lately, there's much weird energy going on regarding jm related things. Since his OST something or the other is happening, the whole insurance bill followed by company sayin "no comments" but they were backing up that bully girl and also billboard didn't posted any article on his proof video but they posted all the other members till now (surprisingly I haven't seen BTS is 7 trend yet lol) Even him in that Spotify video just sitting without much enthusiasm like he always had is all making me feel like is everything okay??! Also I'm new to this all hate/negative discourse on a celeb (haven't been in any fandom except bts) so it's bit weird to see a particular member getting hate for whatever he is doing. Would like to know your thoughts on this if you have any??

- hybe's treatment of jimin's ost is especially abysmal. i shift back and forth as to whether he'll resign with them when the time comes but it just gets more and more blatant that something's up due to the way they go about everything regarding him. it's not isolated either, they just do all they can to not care about jimin and his work.

---

It reminded me there was another similar ask so I'm including it. Eventually I would've gotten to it but now that we're on the subject 😅

It has certainly been nonstop. The change in the time release for the OST was very random, didn't and still doesn't make sense why would they do that. Everyone else released their Our Blues OSTs at 6pm. It has been a while but so it doesn't sound like the time is something crazy to care about, and in case it hasn't been made obvious by how, days after, Psy released his album at 6pm and not 11pm LMAO, I saw this explanation by traceofjimin.

And they said the time release was discussed and decided on by the artist's agency (or agencies). They know how it works and they still decided to do it. BTS used to release their stuff at 6pm kst too, it changed to accommodate USA time of release but it was 6pm until ON.

Aside from that, I really think the insurance bill and filter issues were done by akgaes. Hybe/bighit has never exactly handled any "scandal" BTS were involved in, probably the tattoo shop thing was the most they gave statements on or said they would do anything about. But usually it's just one single "we deny this" and they move on. So I'm not surprised and I don't think it's weird that they disregarded the bill issue so quickly. And also, to be honest, I don't know what else was there to say. I genuinely think the articles and the way it was dragged out was an akgae thing. Same with the filter credits for that man. Whether his personal info was leaked because someone from the company was "careless" when managing his documents (that's a very sarcastic careless), there's no way to know that. If it was leaked or sold by people that work close to him, I hope Jimin is aware and is handling it.

It also all just piled up over the already existing and recent enlistment controversy, so it's possible that media are just taking advantage of it, you know the saying "when it rains it pours".

Now, the billboard articles........................ It's fishy af. I don't know who's deciding that and if it's hybe, I don't know why would they want to alienate Jimin from album conversation like that but it definitely looks like a conscious choice to not do an article about him. It was deliberate.

About the hate, yeah.. kpop is like that, unfortunately. It definitely does not happen this often or this seriously when it comes to western celebrities. You can google "kpop anti-fans" "kpop anti-fans incidents" and you'll see for yourself. It's crazy. It's an industry and fan culture that for some reason or another has always begotten a lot of hate.

As for Jimin, I think he was like that for most of 2021, sadly. I mean, he was quiet and seemingly uninterested for a lot of their interviews, especially during butter promo. And last year he actually said on few ocassions that he wasn't feeling that happy or excited, it wasn't anything alarming but he did subtly mentioned being too lost in his thoughts and things like that. He's probably got a lot on his plate, honestly. I guess we should just wait and see; he's a person like anyone else and being under the weather sometimes it's completely normal, but it's also not too logical for us to make conclusions based on one or two clips, imo. I would like to know what he really, really, really thinks of this album tho.

Before, the times that anything controversial happened, there was always positive, good BTS content to push that negativity back or even completely ignore it; now, there's nothing like that and even the album-related content released so far is honestly nawtttt making a lot of noise so it's easy to get carried away with the negative stuff.

Hanahaki Disease! Reader

Inspired by this amazing fic by @thunderdenki  🥺 GO GIVE IT A READ IT'S AMAZING Main reason I wrote this one was literally because I want to have some good ol' Dadzawa moments lmao. I finished this earlier than expected though lmao (could also be read as "I didn't procrastinate as much as I thought I would lmao") Hope you enjoyed this one!

Small droplets of rain start to pour outside the store you were in. You heave a heavy sigh. It seems like it's gonna be raining cats and dogs any moment now. 

You had gotten out to buy some groceries. It was your turn for that week and you just so happen to forget to bring the umbrella with you. The sky definitely looked clear when you went out of Heights Alliance some hours ago. 

You start to pace back and forth. You didn't even bring your phone with you so you couldn't call anyone to help pick you up. In the end, you decide to just wait there. You silently pray that the rain will let up soon.

Just as you made this decision, you saw a figure walking steadily towards the grocery store. As soon as the figure noticed you who were standing near the entrance, the figure, now you saw it being Kirishima, picked up his pace and jogged towards you.

"Hey, Y/N! Thank god you're at the entrance. Makes it easier for me to spot you."

He says with his toothy grin. You stood there for a moment, not knowing what to say. You didn't expect him to show up.

"Why are you here?"

You ask, your cheeks painted with a light pink hue. 

"It started raining all of a sudden and you didn't bring an umbrella when you went out so I came to pick you up."

"Thank you."

You say with a small smile. The rain is making you shiver a bit but your heart is oddly feeling warm and fuzzy. You knew this though. You're already aware of these feelings long ago.

You can't help but be attracted to the red haired boy. He's always so energetic and his smiles are blinding as the sun. You always liked how manly he is. You just liked everything about him.

Your feelings didn't come unnoticed to the girls. They always noted how you would smile a lot around Kirishima. You would often just brush it off, saying that wasn't the case.

Over time, it's starting to feel hard to push away those feelings. You can't just keep ignoring it forever, pretending not to see it. 

You consider yourself to be pretty close with him. Even Mina, one of the Bakusquad, noted that she never saw Kirishima being that close with a friend. 

That alone somehow gave you a bit of hope. A bit of a confidence boost. You plan to keep quiet about your feelings for longer, not really wanting to ruin the friendship that you two have built but now… you just felt like it's the right time.

You noticed Kirishima holding nothing aside from a single umbrella he's currently holding to shelter himself from the rain.

"Kirishima, did you only bring one umbrella?"

Kirishima, who was still smiling, suddenly froze up and he nervously chuckled. 

"Ahaha….I must've forgotten to bring the other one….I rushed out as soon as the rain started pouring. Man, I'm sorry about this, Y/N, but do you mind if we share? If you do, you can take the umbrella and I can always run back to the dorm--"

You stop him from talking and get under the umbrella. 

"It's okay, I don't mind. Rather, I don't want you to run out in the rain. The dorm is still pretty far from here and you'll definitely catch a cold."

You give him a small smile. You try hard to hide your blushing face. Being so close under the same umbrella with your crush is making your heart beat like crazy. You silently pray he didn't hear it.

"Well, if you don't mind then!"

Another grin graces his lips and you both started walking away, leaving the grocery store behind. 

The walk is pretty quiet with you not knowing what to say. You really want to confess to him but it seems kind of awkward now that your distance is so close to the point you can literally smell his cologne. 

You open your mouth and try to say something after God knows how long but Kirishima beats you to it.

"Y'know, I've never been this close to a girl before. I actually thought I was pretty normal with you but when I went out of the dorms just now, Kaminari said how I would always act so quickly to things that involved you. What he said actually made me realize how much I treasure you. I'm really, honestly am glad that you're my best friend. My first, girl, best friend to boot."

His words shattered your heart and your mind. You felt a lump in your throat, making it harder to breath. 

In the end he only considers you as a best friend, huh?

"Y/N? Uh, sorry if that made you uncomfortable...or am I the only one who actually thinks we're best friends…"

"No! That's not true at all! You're also my best friend! And I'm so happy you think of me like that. Really, it made me so happy…"

You cut him off when he sounds so dejected. You couldn't bring yourself to confess now. You couldn't even tell him how you actually considered him as more than friends. 

How could you, when he looks at you with those sad, droopy eyes. You don't have the heart to crush that joy he was feeling when he thought of how glad he is to have you as his best friend. 

You couldn't help but laugh mockingly at yourself as soon as you arrived at your room. How ironic it is that one of the reasons you fell for him is because of his kindness.

But now you can't help but think how cruel he is to your unspoken feelings. 

But it's okay, you haven't confessed to him so it's fine. You can just act like normal. 

….right?

That night in particular, had proved you wrong. 

You were having a hard time sleeping. Tossing and turning in your bed, you keep coughing and hacking in your sleep. You had thought that maybe you had caught a cold. Maybe the rain actually did get to you despite Kirishima giving you more space under the umbrella so that you are completely sheltered.

It wasn't until you found yourself knocking aggressively on Aizawa's room at the teacher's lounge and clutching at your chest, did the weight of the situation finally dawned upon you. 

You really don't want to bother anyone with this but seeing how badly the situation is freaking you out, you can't help but to ask for assistance from your homeroom teacher, even at the ungodly hour of one in the morning.

Aizawa opened the door, irritation was clear on his face but as soon as he saw you in front of him, he's clearly shocked beyond words and he stood there for a moment, completely baffled with your current state.

You were running to get there and you were completely out of breath, panting heavily all the while with occasional hiccups. The sweats and the tears that're falling non-stop from your eyes like a waterfall combine itself together, making some strands of your hair stick to your face. Your right hand is clutching tightly at your chest, while your left hand seems to be gripping on something. On closer inspection, there are several petals visible from the gaps in your left hand. The trail behind you also has the same orange coloured petals scattered on the ground. Your teeths are clenched together and you tried to stifle your coughs but it only made it worse as the petals are stuck in your throat and you cough louder as a result, spilling more petals along the way.

Aizawa quickly guides you in and closes the door behind him. He sits you down on a sofa and makes you a drink. You completely ignored the drink. Even if you try to shove it down your mouth, you could almost feel the pain that's waiting for you.

Aizawa sits opposite of you, his face is showing so much concern. 

"What happened?"

"I- I don't know...I was trying to sleep but… I kept coughing and- and these...petals suddenly came out of my mouth. What's happening to me, sensei? I- I'm scared…"

You explain to him, occasionally hiccuping from your crying. You bet that you looked so pathetic and a mess right now but it doesn't matter to you. You were so scared at this...obscurity that you weren't able to think straight. 

Aizawa looks troubled by the situation. He knows what's happening to you. He had heard of it before but...to think he would actually meet one...and it's happening to his student no less. 

"L/N, I need you to calm down for now and listen."

You stop your crying and look at him with your bleary eyes. 

He then explains everything he knew to you. About what you're currently experiencing. 

Hanahaki disease. 

The words felt so foreign to you despite it being in your language. Your heart sank at the word disease though. How and why did you suddenly have this...disease?

"From what I know, hanahaki disease will infect anyone with unrequited love. Flowers will start to bloom in your lungs and you will start to cough up and vomit petals. Worst case, the flowers can even start to bloom on your skin. I'm sure you're already aware of this, but the flowers that bloom in your lungs will start to clog up your respiratory system and you will have a hard time trying to breath. Eventually, you might choke to death on your own blood and petals."

You stare at him with a shocked face. You weren't expecting this. You weren't expecting this at all. It seems impossible that this kind of disease existed.

"B-but...I've never even heard of something like this before…"

Aizawa lets out a heavy sigh. 

"Well, you wouldn't really want a lot of people to know that your love was unrequited and you're dying because of it."

That's true. You definitely don't want that to happen either. It would be so embarrassing and shameful. 

A moment of silence took up the room. Your breathing has calmed down a bit and your tears have dried out. The situation slowly sinks in you. 

"...Do you mind telling me who it was?"

Aizawa asks softly, probably not wanting to hurt your feelings in any way. 

He didn't mention it directly but you knew he was asking who was the person that you had one-sided feelings for. 

You gulped once, your throat felt dry as heck. Now that you know why this happened to you, you felt scared to tell him the whole truth. About Kirishima and...your feelings. 

After all, you did come to UA to become a hero. Not to find a one-sided crush and having a fatal disease because of it. You were afraid he'd be disappointed with you but now that he'd known what had happened, you decided to just tell him everything.

"So it was still new then…"

He concluded after you had told him everything, including how he accidentally had rejected your feelings without he himself knowing it.

You look down at your feet, afraid to meet Aizawa's eyes now. 

"I'm sorry, sensei. I let my feelings get the better of me and...let this happen. I'm sorry that I'm a failure as an…aspiring hero."

You stop talking when a large hand rests itself on top of your head then softly patting it. 

"Don't be. You're progressing a lot as far as I can tell and...while this disease may be a fatal one, it just proves that you're being a human and feeling emotions. You don't have to be sorry for having emotions."

You tear up at his words and silently sob. You were honestly really glad that you had come to him that night. Aizawa may not look like it, but he cares for his students more than he likes to admit.

"For now, go back to your room. You may need to take a leave from school for a few days while I discussed this matter with Recovery Girl. She should know a lot more about this."

You nod at him and thank him once before making your way back to your dorm.

After the conversation you had with Aizawa, you felt a bit lightheaded and you can finally sleep soundly for the rest of the night. You had thought that maybe the Hanahaki disease had settled down or something. 

You couldn't be more wrong.

As soon as you wake up, for some reason, your mind suddenly wandered at the recollection of yesterday's memories. The moment when Kirishima revealed how glad he was to have you as his best friend.

Worst mistake you've ever made in your life. You've never cursed at your mind so much in your entire life before.

The stinging pain from before came as fast as lightning as you started to cough and hack violently, countless flower petals coming out of your mouth. Some of the orange coloured petals even have blood stains on it, making you shudder greatly. 

"Y/N? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

You could hear a concerned Ochaco from the other side of your door, knocking on them. She probably heard your violent coughs when she passed by your room just now. 

You tried to find your voice, coughing up all the petals that are still stuck inside your throat before answering her. 

"I'm fine. Just a cold. I probably won't come to school for a few days. I've already informed Aizawa-sensei so no need to worry."

Your voice came out more hoarse than you had intended but at least now she's convinced you indeed had a cold.

"Oh gosh, I hope you get well soon. It sounds terrible. We'll make something for you after school ends, okay? Stay hydrated always."

You managed a barely audible thanks before diving into your pillow and sighing heavily. The floor is now covered with orange coloured petals. You somehow recognized it as lily petals. 

A sudden realization knocked over you and you found yourself almost hyperventilating as the reason you coughed up orange lily petals dawned upon you.

You remembered that one day. When you were walking around UA during lunch, trying to find a good eating spot. Instead, you spotted something else entirely. 

Kirishima.

You stared at him. It was unusual to see him alone without anyone's company. He seemed to be looking at some flowers near a bench. 

It was some orange lilies, or from what you remembered the name to be Peruvian Lilies.

You approached him and as soon as he noticed your presence, he turned to you with a grin. 

"Hey, Kirishima. It's rare to see you alone here."

You started and he gave a small chuckle.

"Yeah, the others seemed to be busy with their businesses so I was left to eat alone."

You could almost hear the hidden dejected tone laced with his words. He must've been disappointed to not be able to eat with his friends. He kind of reminded you of a golden retriever. You tried hard not to let out a giggle at the thought. That side was so cute of him.

You joined him and stared at the Peruvian Lilies. He then opened his mouth to speak.

"I heard that white lilies normally symbolise purity but looking at these orange coloured lilies...it actually looked kinda manly don't you think? I like it. I think this lily has become my favourite flower now."

He sent another playful grin at you. You could almost hear your heart beating loudly against your ribcage. You thanked the God he didn't see how red your face was. 

It was his favourite flower. The flowers that are making you cough and clogging up your lungs are his favourite flowers. You couldn't tell whether this is a coincidence or it really was meant to be but your guts are telling you that it's the latter.

Your eyes started to water once again. Even this disease that's eating up on your lifespan reminded you of your love for him. Of your painful unrequited feelings for him. Of him, entirely.

More and more lily petals come out of your mouth as you cough them up. You have finally accepted this disease you're having. You made no effort to stifle your coughs or calm your crying down. 

~~**~~

It had been a few days since you had gone out of your room now. Your friends keep asking if you were okay but you always dismiss them, saying you were fine. 

Even when they asked Aizawa about it, he would tell them not to worry too much and focus more on their training. He doesn't really want them to pry on your matter. 

But of course, the one who worried about you the most was none other than Kirishima. He would come at your door everyday without fail and ask if you were doing alright.

It hurts more and more each time he does. You wished you could just yell at him to leave you alone but a part of you longed for those times when he would knock on your door and asked about your condition. It made you happy that he cared for you so much. Even if it was just because you were his best friend.

After a few more days of locking yourself in your room and gathering up lily petals on the room floor, Aizawa finally asks you to meet him and Recovery Girl that night.

You quietly slip out of your room unnoticed. You could tell that some of your friends are getting suspicious of your cold that had been going on for quite some time. Some even claimed that when they walked past your room, they could smell an oddly strong flowery scent. It had a nice smell but only you knew how sickeningly nice the smell had become in your room.

The walk to the teacher's lounge seems to take so long and was especially tiring. After what felt like an eternity, you finally arrived there. You could see Aizawa standing outside his room, probably waiting for you to see your condition firsthand. 

From the last time you met him on the first night you started coughing up lily petals, Aizawa could see how your condition has worsened. You barely have eaten anything because of how much it hurts when you tried to force the food down your throat. You've only drank water and eaten some protein bars for the past few days. 

The flowers were growing more rapidly than any of you had imagined. 

And Kirishima coming to your door every day to check up on you is definitely not helping with the situation.

"First of all, I have to express my deepest regret to you for not being able to do anything about this situation, even with my quirk. Unfortunately, this is beyond my capability as Recovery Girl."

You shook your head slowly. You managed a weary smile and bowed deeply at both teachers.

"Please, don't be. I'm sorry that I have to bother the two of you with this. I'm already very grateful for your assistance."

Recovery Girl and Aizawa look at each other and nod once. You then take a seat opposite the both of them.

"L/N, as you're already aware, what you're experiencing is a disease called Hanahaki disease. The only cure to this disease is for the one you have unrequited feelings for to return your feelings. It must be a genuine feeling of love, the same as what you felt towards that person. If not, the flowers will completely bloom inside you and you will die. The flower vines will also start to grow which will make the situation worse."

At Recovery Girl's explanation, you just nod glumly. In those few days you were cooped up inside your room, you had figured out yourself that that was the case. It had only been a guess, but her explanation seems to prove you right.

"However, there's another solution to this."

Your head perked up at this. A glimmer of hope lights up inside you. You patiently wait for her to continue. 

"We can perform surgery to remove the flowers and vines inside you."

A surgery. You hadn't thought of that solution before so this kind of surprised you. A small smile was about to make its way to your lips when you noticed how the two teachers don't look too enthusiastic with this solution. Especially Aizawa. He was looking uncharacteristically restless. 

"This surgery, however, while it removes the flowers inside you, it will also remove the feelings you have for the person you were enamoured with. It will also remove your ability to love anyone else on that matter."

Your heart sank at the explanation. Right. Of course. Everything must come with a price after all. And the price you must pay to keep living is...these feelings.

It may not seem like such a big deal to someone else but only those who suffered the disease knew how hard it is to give up their feelings in exchange for a longer lifespan. 

You hated to admit it, but you treasured those feelings that made you suffer this crappy disease very much. It's a nice feeling. It makes your heart so warm like never before. 

A moment of silence. Aizawa keeps opening and closing his mouth, trying to search for the right words to say to you. Recovery Girl only stays silent and stares at you, waiting for your response patiently. 

"L/N, I understand that this is a hard decision to make and we're not going to press you to answer us right away. Maybe you can still try to make Kirishima conscious of you."

Aizawa finally broke the silence. He doesn't like to press you with an answer. It doesn't feel right. He may not be the most emotional person out there but he could just imagine how hurtful it is to lose a feeling you treasured so much. Aside from that, the idea of you not being able to love anyone else for the rest of your life concerned him. He himself isn't that much interested in the matter of love but the thought of you, one of his students that he cared so deeply for, missing out on what you were supposed to feel and experience, just doesn't sit right with him.

You let out a light cough and once again, lily petals come out of your mouth. You hold the petals in one hand tightly. 

"It's okay, sensei. I've made up my mind. I don't think Kirishima will ever return my feelings. He was so happy and glad to have me as his best friend and….I- I don't want him to feel burdened by my feelings. I can't stand to worry everyone anymore. My friends, the other teachers and...Kirishima himself. I've made them unnecessarily worried for me. I want to put a stop to it. I...I want this to stop."

Stream of tears fall from your eyelids as you put up a melancholic smile and show them the lily petals. Aizawa still looks troubled, but if that's what you want in the end, he has no right to argue. Recovery Girl makes her way to you and puts a hand on your back, rubbing circles on them as you broke into a sob. 

~~**~~

A month later

You were finally released from the hospital after the successful surgery of removing the flowers blooming inside you. You came back to school and your friends are more than happy to receive you back. You also seem to be more cheerful than before. 

Much, much more cheerful than before. 

To the point it doesn't feel quite right whenever your friends are with you. 

"Hey, Y/N, we never got to ask this before but did you confess your feelings to Kirishima?"

Ochaco asks one time when you guys were hanging out together during lunch. 

"Confess to Kirishima? Confess what feelings anyway?"

You ask, genuinely confused and curious by her question. 

"What~ are we back to square one now? You keep denying them before but you've finally admitted to it, right?"

Mina whines playfully and nudges your shoulders lightly while chuckling. 

Her chuckle comes to a stop when she saw how you were being genuinely confused. Her chuckle turns more awkward and she tries hard not to show her own confusion. You don't seem like you're denying your feelings. No, it feels more like you genuinely have no idea what she was talking about. It actually felt like your memories of your feelings for Kirishima just...disappeared. This strikes her as odd. She didn't try to pry further, afraid of stepping into a land mine. 

The others took notice of the sudden change in the atmosphere. Ochaco quickly changed the subject to avoid the heavy atmosphere. 

Your friends are honestly really glad that you seem healthy now but they can't help but to feel something was off with you. Yes, you became more cheerful than before but it feels unusual. It's like, they're talking and being with you but at the same time, it feels like they're with a completely different person. 

Kirishima didn't seem to mind this at first. At first, that is. Even his oblivious self was starting to notice the change in your demeanour. 

You two are still as close as before but something is missing. He couldn't quite pinpoint what it was though. 

"Hey, Y/N? Are you okay?"

He asks, peering into your face with a concerned expression. 

You look at him, a bit confused by the sudden question but you give him your biggest smile nevertheless. 

"I'm fine! What could be wrong anyway?"

You reply cheerfully. He heaves a sigh of relief and puts on a smile himself. 

Right, of course there was nothing wrong at all. You were completely fine and cheerful. Kirishima shrugs off his worries as him just reading too much into things. He's just happy you are healthy again and able to come back to school and hang out with him.

After all, you are his most important best friend.

The End

[sparklenaut]

hi! i'm not sure if you're still into pmmm, but i used to (and still do!) love your pmmm art. you were a huge source of artistic inspiration for me. i also wanted to ask if you've heard that the pmmm game is getting an anime, and also if you think you're going to watch it? thanks, and have a good day!

Hi there! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed my art!I still am super into PMMM haha but haven’t really had the drive to draw that much fanart anymore. Most of that is because I’ve been working and doing more paid illustrations, which hasn’t left me with a lot of time for fanart. Another reason is that unfortunately I got tired of waiting for a sequel to Rebellion. I feel like the story is incomplete, and desperately wanted to hear how it ends to get the satisfying conclusion and closure we’ve probably all been waiting for. Seeing how SHAFT has now focused more and more on MagiReco, I kept quiet about my disinterest and disappointment in it because I saw a lot of people enjoying it and didn’t want to rain on anyone’s party. So I simply thought pouring my time and energy into other projects (especially original work) would be more constructive than just wistfully looking back at the golden days of the fandom and hoping it would come back. It honestly just made me sad, so I’ve been trying to move on. PMMM is absolutely my all time favourite anime and nothing has quite filled the hole it left in my heart yet though. However I still had some hope left as I believed SHAFT could just be raking up money with the magireco app to fund the mythical Rebellion sequel in the near future. We did get the concept movie and all that, right? So naturally I felt a bit crushed when I heard that the money will be funneled into a spin off TV series with an entirely new cast that I don’t particularly care about yet, instead of concluding the actual story.I haven’t really played magireco but a couple of my friends are playing it and have shown me what it’s like and what it’s basically about. The language barrier and the nature of the game (I don’t like gatcha games, they’re way too addictive and would just drain my wallet lmao) have prevented me from getting into it though. I will most definitely still watch the new spin off anime and I hope that I’ll learn to like the new main girls through it. It’ll still be difficult to forget my disappointment though haha, but hey! Maybe the OG girls will be featured in it too! Maybe we’ll get a 1.5 second clip of kyouko and sayaka holding hands! That’ll last me for at least 2 years...
