GIRLS TIME!!!! I wanted Dennis to meet with Ruri first ;w; I'm so happy to see my headcanons validated that Ruri didn't know Dennis sold her out until now, because now I can think about the sad thoughts of her in the tower worrying about not just Shun and Yuto, but also her dear friend Dennis who she just got to meet before the invasion swept through, only to find him afterward and find the truth

AND SHE FORGIVES HIM SO IMMEDIATELY I CRY. she's so precious and gentle and kind

for the yugioh ask game. lulu/ruri

FUCK YEAHHHHH THATS MY SISTER BABYYYY

Why I like them/why I don’t: partly sibling bias and partly because she's just So Good. her design is amazing, her deck is so fun and fitting for her character, she has such strong beliefs that she's willing to fight for. she's tragic. she went through hell. she deserved better. she loves birds. she's sweet and kind but also playful and huhaghuahghhhg. my sister

What I like about their appearance: her flowy hair and hairpin.... the earrings..... her eyes are a very nice color also... i like her pre invasion design i think she has a very cute pastel chic style.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?: sub by far but i do think lulu is charming

OTP: tbh im an aroace ruri truther (because thats how i remember her) but i do think swiftshipping and guiltshipping are pretty cute. i could see her with masumi or serena too..

NOTP: f*llenangel. also janushipping makes me want to hurl.

OT3: ruriallensaya would make a cute qppcule i think

Favourite card they use: i carry a copy assembled nightingale in my wallet for emotional support

Favourite moment they were in: mods are asleep post kurosaki hug

Least favourite moment: everything involving the parasites

Cakeverse DenRuri ft a little bit of biting requested by @ragnazero

How peculiar it was, to come to a world, and for it to look like everything that he had known on the surface, in terms that he knew, and for it to be just completely different - and Dennis wasn't even just referring to the absence of Fusion and the birth of XYZ here. He was talking about something else, something of the body, of the hunger and the stomach.

How peculiar it was, to come to a world, and be told he was sorted into that system all the same as a native.

"Can you taste it?" she whispered, snuggling onto his front, she groped his chest, chaste and playful and the tone of her voice darkened. "Can you taste me?"

Dennis gulped. He could. He couldn't believe it but he could taste her and she did not taste of flesh, of meat. She tasted like a cheesecake, right down to its creamy consistency but she was tart, too, like forest berries. Every taste, every lick, every kiss: Dennis couldn't believe it.

"I can." he said, a little too excited for either taste as his voice cracked and he sounded virginal. "I, er, really, really can." Ruri was what of her world called a Cake. Dennis was, apparently, a Fork and he thought that was good humour. When he thought of forks, he thought of stabbing and poking and prodding and he considered himself very good at that. Ruri was even better.

She had him coiled around her little pinkie finger and he was enraptured. She sat him down and she took to his lap like a queen taking to her throne. She was natural, regal, and oh so flavourful. Dennis couldn't get enough of what was permitted of her and as a spy, he considered it of the utmost importance that he got to the bottom of this mystery as an excercise in information gathering. He had to know and intimately understand the lingo so as to not arouse suspicion.

And since he was in the middle of getting very lucky, he certainly felt aroused in other senses, especially of the body. He sank his teeth into her and could have ripped a chunk from her delicate, little neck that he was leaving purplish bruises on out of starvation.

Dennis didn't even realise that he was hungry until he met Ruri and now, he was downright ravenous for the berry compote and chocolate cheesecake that made her up.

Finished!!!

Obviously I had to make a janushipping drawing at some point 👀

Lately I've been into testing how different coloring styles give of different feels out of the same drawing and here's the result.

For the background I used the shape of a red-spider-lily both because it's highly poisonous and because the different meanings attached to them.

Can you maybe do something with Dennis/Ruri? (I'll leave it to your imagination~

Thank you for the request!

“I already knew,” she whispered, her smile unchanging.

He smiled back, more from habit than from any real sense of mirth.

“Knew what? That I was going to stab you in the back?” He couldn’t help but smile wider, as though perhaps if he smiled enough, she might not see the desperation locked behind it.  “If you knew, darling, why did you agree to the marriage?”

She only continued to smile, and it was only then, at that moment that he realized her mask had always been better than his.

“Because,” she whispered in his ear.  “You weren’t the only one to bring a knife to the honeymoon.”

It’s the now the 30th so I can post this yaaaay

A term for the awareness of transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

This is where I will post all the works of this year's rare pair week (the summary will update as I keep adding works):

Day 1: Nostalgia (Janushipping)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was supposed to be a fun night.

Okay, maybe ‘fun’ was stretching it a little too much, but this was supposed to be at least a ‘normal’ night. One where they could spend a bit of time without... doing what they usually always did when they were left alone.

When she appeared on his doorstep he had been a bit surprised, usually she always texted him before coming over, and when she rather than walking straight to his room, she sat on the couch he tried to think about a way to tell her they couldn’t risk being on the couch, lest Sora found them in an unfavorable situation when he came back from trick and treating.

Then, when she simply turned on the TV, and asked if he had Netflix, he couldn’t do much except nod, the red and black menu showed up.

She went straight for the horror movies.

“It’s Halloween right? I thought it would be... nice, to watch a scary movie together.” Ruri said this with the most tight-lipped smile he’d ever seen.

Aren’t they a little too old for celebrating Halloween?

Aren’t scary movies too silly for people like them?

Those were the questions that he wanted to ask her, but Dennis kept his mouth shut and went to sit next to her.

No, not really next to her, maybe more like... a respectable distance.

He did what he did best and rather than sitting like her – back ramrod and the one hand that was not clutching the remote, was digging tightly on her skirt – he made his best to lean into a relaxed pose. At this point she had gone twice through the full horror movie selection, Dennis was not very knowledgeable on the genre, so he was at loss of how to help here, unless...

“Let’s try Sora’s profile.” He could feel her sharp look even though he did not look at her directly. “He loves these movies, maybe there’s something good on his listing.”

The change was quick, and they were both met with Sora’s preference being a weird mix of cartoons and scary movies. They all looked like they were very gory movies, and he certainly had no interest on watching that, he didn’t care how much the fake blood would look like ketchup, it was out of the question, then one curious caption appeared.

It looked like a cheap Halloween costume, a face that wanted to be scary but failed at it, even with the cape and the top hat.

He recognized the title.

“I’ve heard that one is good.” A lie, he hadn’t heard anything from it, but it did look like a typical low-budget ghost film; nothing he couldn’t deal with.

Of course never before he thought that he would have to force himself not to jump from his seat because of a pop-up book.

“I'll soon take of my funny disguise take heed of what you've read

And once you see what's underneath you're going to wish you were dead”

.

.

.

“I'll wager with you. I'll make you a bet. The more you deny the stronger I get.”

Ruri had to bit her lip to avoid gasping when the last image of that dammed book appeared on the screen.

“Can’t you go to sleep already? You won’t be able to sit guard if you don’t.”

“But I-”

“There’s nothing out there, that’s what I’m here making sure of, go to sleep”

“Are you saying I’m a liar?”

“What I’m saying is that last time you said someone followed you to the camp, we checked the perimeter twice and found nothing, and maybe you’re just tired.”

It was just a movie, just a movie, and this had been her idea.

Why? Because it’s Halloween and she always watched scary movies in Halloween with...Shun.

She had to close her eyes when the black figure creeped on top of the car. When she opened them again, the woman was bathing with her clothes on. That woman was scarier than any other monster that was supposedly haunting her, she felt herself cower into her seat whenever she had one of her outbursts, when she yelled something hurtful, and Ruri could see that the kid was the one in true danger.

She wanted to yell at him to run away every time; her eyes wandered to Dennis, who looked as calm as he usually did, if anything he looked almost bored with the whole thing, at first sight that was what it looked like, right now, he was sitting upright and stiff, his eyes looked at anything but the screen when something scary happened and even then his finger were digging too hard into his arms.

If only she had been as good at reading him back then...

The traitorous memory of Shun allowing her to curl up to him whenever she got to scared kept coming to her, back then his annoyance at her fear, and the snide comments he made at the screen had been reassuring and even funny at times.

Of course back then, the monsters under her bed had all been fake.

Ruri had been too focused on her thoughts that when the actual monsters finally appeared on-screen had her practically jumping in her seat, it wasn’t until she had her own hand covering her mouth that realized she had screamed too.

That was when she felt it.

One of his hands was almost not quite placed on his shoulder, while the other was frozen mid-movement in front of him.

Had he meant to... hug her? His mouth was wide open, and she could see he was trembling a little bit.

It he meant to do that, it hadn’t been to comfort her, it had been because he was scared too.

“Sorry, I don’t know what I-” Dennis had begun to withdraw his hands again.

“It’s fine.” She said and before he could scoot farther into the corner of the couch she leaned her head on his shoulder.

Dennis sharp intake of breath had her smiling, so, she didn’t object when his arm finally sneaked fully around her, taking ahold of her waist.

Not even when it made her move closer to him.

He was scared, and so was she.

There was nothing wrong with it.

[entamewitchlulu]

Janushipping and Aurorashipping

Janushipping

This is so full of potential angst; I personally can never endgame it because I just…even though I believe that Ruri would definitely forgive him, and they would become friends, Dennis would always, always feel guilty and awful for what had happened, and that would hold him back from being able to participate in a healthy relationship.  He’d constantly be trying to compensate for what he had done while knowing it was never truly possible.  They could definitely become good friends, I think, but I don’t think they could ever get intimate without it causing Dennis severe guilt problems that would eventually just…eat away at him. 

And despite believing that Ruri would forgive him, I still don’t think that would make her position any more healthy, either.  There would always be a burn, there, a fear that maybe she’s not sure if he’s quite telling the truth or not.  It’s…not easy to get to know someone after they’ve betrayed you so deeply, and you don’t know if you ever really knew them.

I’d definitely like to see them meet up and talk through what happened and try to heal, but I just don’t think a romantic relationship would be healthy for either of them.

Aurorashipping

I started shipping it for the aesthetics, and then I was like…damn wait we’re onto something here

I know they’ve never spoken, but both of them are I think the punchiest of the four girls and I just love the idea of the two of them being an angry tag team together.  Rin is a little more cautious than Selena and can help them both reign themselves in if they go too far, but idk I just love the idea of both of them flirting aggressively and snarking at each other all the time and sometimes throwing punches at each other in a friendly sort of way XD

[merryfortune]

If you're still accepting these, how about 25 for Janushipping, please?

25. Wet kisses after finding refuge from the rain.

AN: the vibe I was gong for was Moulin Rouge

Word Count: 693

still accepting but animal crossing is my priority

   She had been told time and time again, to get out whilst she still could before she too became some starving artist with dangling earrings but the allure was too much. She couldn’t say no to that harlequin smile and that lopsided grin and those wavy ginger locks. She wanted so deeply to be this young man’s muse. He had nothing in his scraggly pockets but lint and she could have had all the riches in the world but the things one did for love were irregular at the best of times.

   Ruri padded at Dennis’ face. He was sopping wet. They both were. Ruri scrunched up her drenched, yellow sundress over her knees and inched in closer to him.

   “I’m so sorry,” Dennis apologised, tears wetting his face hotly against the frigid cold of the rain on him, “we could’ve hit the big time but stars, me and my stupid ego.”

   “Shh, shh, it’s okay.” Ruri told him.

   Dennis swatted her hand and handkerchief away from her. “No, I’ve really fucked it up this time. All those paint supplies, my canvas, everything. Ruined because I didn’t read the bloody newspapers’ weather forecast.”

   “Those things are never right.” Ruri said. “Besides, you’ll get your next big break soon. I bet if you asked Gongenzaka, he’d give you another shift at the bar, you can do some cleaning or tending. Maybe even a night to host a comedy show or two. And I’m sure once this all blows over, it’ll make a good poem. We can submit to Shingo and he might run it in his father’s paper.”

   Dennis smiled miserably at Ruri who began padding at his face again. He shivered. He began to take his jacket off and Ruri gingerly let him.

   “You’re right.” he sighed. “I’m being irrational. I just. I really thought that this afternoon was going to be my Van Gogh moment, you know? I could feel it. It was just right. Gosh, Ruri, those paintings I started of you, best I’d ever.”

   Ruri smiled. Her heart fluttered like the wings of a selfish angel. These were the moments that she yearned for. Moments which made her feel beautiful and bohemian.

   She glanced at the soggy and ruined canvases. Her painted faces had turned to indigo and violet smears. Completely unrecognisable as human. She never even got a chance to see what they had looked like half finished in the pakr before the downpour had struck, all of a sudden and unfortunate but she trusted Dennis. He was an artist among artists. It was just a shame about the fact that he was likely only ever going to be considered good when he was dead.

   “Thanks Ruri.” Dennis said.

   Almost scared to touch her, as though worried he was going to ruin his flesh and blood Ruri just like his oil and pastel Ruri, he reached out to her. His fingers ghosted along her fine cheekbones and she giggled. She liked his touch. It was uncertain but tender. Kind and gentlemanly.

   “It’s no problem, Dennis, it’s not a big deal, really. In sickness and in health, for better or worse, those sorts of things, you know? You’re my soulmate, I just know it. It’s all I can do, support you.” Ruri murmured, cherubic and haloed by the flicker of the candles because they were too poor to afford electricity.

   “You are the best darn thing that’s ever happened to me, I swear above.” Dennis said and he leaned.

   He couldn’t help himself and Ruri giggled as he kissed her. It was a chaste kiss, literally dampened but it lifted their spirits. Dennis caressed Ruri’s cheek as he kissed her, drawing in the scent of the story and of freshwater and of the cheap soap that Ruri used. Though, he had to admit, he liked it better when she used to smell all high class and whatnot because he now she just smelt a little bit like him. It was weird but that’s just what their life was. Weird and wonderful, romantic and ugly, just like a sudden summer storm like the one which raged outside their little apartment now...

Hostageshipping, Fruitshipping, YuuriSere, Dartshipping, Serenadeshipping, Amethystshipping and Janushipping

[Send Me a Ship~

I’ll rate it using the below system and say why I gave it that rating ^^

Hostageshipping

10 = One True Pairing (OTP). I will fight to the death for this ship.

And for once, this is to be 100% taken literally. Both characters are so mistreated after season one and nearly all of Arc-V’s flaws could be fixed and there is no better way of exploring the meta surrounding each character by exploring Shun and Reiji’s parallels and contrasts. There is no way for me to coherently express my love for this ship and I am far better at talking about individual aspects of their relationship in detail (gross understatement lol I usually end up writing essays for convos like that lol).

Almost any setting can be made intriguing if both characters are placed in it next to one another, as their minds are beautiful and complex enough to carry dozens of plots on their own.

But please, for the love of god, don’t give me poor pure misled cinnamon rolls Hostage - cuz I will throw up in your face XX___XX Because seriously, there is no greater insult you can deal to an intelligent morally gray character than to infantilize them.

Fruitshipping 

7 = I like it, would read a fanfic with them if it was well written.

Going to emphasize on the if part here, as actually, there’s nothing about Fruitshipping personally intriguing me and the only reason I’m so supportive of this ship is that it distracts people from certain gross and humiliating OOC ships involving Yuuya and Yuzu - mostly Yuuya, though. Their chemistry makes sense and their season one scenes are adorable, but… well, all I actually care about is that it keeps me from having to see the insulting abominations called Pendulumshipping, Sparrowshipping, romantic Songbirdshipping, and Classicalshipping - if only for a moment, Siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

YuuriSere

 9 = I REALLY like this ship and it should be/is canon!

Along with onesided Prodigy/Prodigy that ultimately ends with a breakup from ReijI’s side, this ship is one of the best ways of exploring the incredibly flawed individual that is Serena - as in combination with Yuuri’s sadism and his pursuits of unique forms of entertainment, these flaws would actually lead to the dire consequences having such a dependent mind has in a setting not consisting of one oversimplification after another, and I’m honestly rolling my eyes so far in the back whenever I see glorifying Serena as this inteeeeeeeeeelligent independent thinker, when just about everything of that is her flawed self-perception Serena’s projecting to the outside.

But gosh, I’ve yet to see content for them actually exploring their relationship in an IC fashion - all there is is a gross OOC healthy relationship not doing either character justice.

Dartshipping

4 = I could see why others like it, kinda cute I suppose.

I detest both characters, but putting them together’s always good to distract people from shipping them with characters too intelligent and complex for them.

Serenadeshipping

 8 = I REALLY like this ship but it wouldn’t work out in canon.

It’d be a gentler way of snapping Serena out of her flawed, contradictory perception of herself and her surroundings than putting her in a room with Shun and Reiji (platonically), and as we have seen in still well-written canon, Yuzu definitely isn’t afraid to stand up to her and talk her into seeing reason. Serena, on the other hand, could help Yuzu harden herself to the war and teach her some combat skills - and they’d just be the cutest tag team ever.

Amethystshipping

10 = One True Pairing (OTP). BROTP. I will fight to the death for this ship.

Ruri bullying Reiji into seeing her as his sister is just the cutest thing ever, and it works so well with Hostageshipping and Shun + Ruri, and it’d allow Reiji to experience being part of a family whose bonds are truly genuine and based on mutual understanding, respect, and appreciation of their minds.

(And really, anything revolving Reiji obtaining something genuine is very important)

Because woooooow, alternate Ruri more actually worthy of being Shun’s sister’d be intelligent enough to have mentally stimulating conversations with Reiji - and their relationship would be mutually beneficial other than Reiji’s “relationship” with that pathetic hypocritical pest who is generic enough its gender and sex doesn’t even matter anymore (disclaimer: had Reira been intended as a genderfluid character from the beginning, my reaction would’ve been a lot different).

(Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy Reiji’s scenes with Reira in season one and in episode 67 - but while he did treat him in a way allowing him to keep his dignity and had a strong positive impact on him, he didn’t actually care for him. Other than that, Reira wasn’t yet the pathetic poor pure cinnamon roll he turned out to be before his only purpose was to either scream NII-SAMA, YUUYA, or to be a vessel for the asspull plot device that is RaykoAkaba, while being the most ungrateful hypocrite towards Reiji in the progress)

But before my bitter rant turns longer and longer, I should probably mention that I am very thirsty for Reiji and Ruri bonding over their shared appreciation of myths and having a great time talking about them and picking them apart together.

Janushipping

9 = I REALLY like this ship and it should be/is canon!

It is such a beautiful mess, though I only like it in a setting more consistent with the season one writing of the Xyz characters and the dimensional war (same applies to every other ship and scenario I favor tbh), meaning Dennis can’t be the one to greenlight the invasion (as the war lasts for three years in total) and instead infiltrates the Refugee Camp as an entertainer taking the civilians’ and soldiers’ mind off the gruesome war at the least for  a moment during his shows and getting close to Ruri that way, as I picture alternate Ruri as someone yearning for a way to escape reality.

Whereas Dennis’d only get close to her to extract information on the Resistance’s modus operandi and plans and in order to keep track of her location, so Yuuri can take her to Academia later, he’d actually grow fond of her at some point, as she’s witty, has a penchant for putting on a dramatic act herself, and is actively helping him improve his shows.But… well, ultimately, he’d betray her out of self-preservation (as to defy the Professor’s orders means certain death), almost irreversibly shattering Ruri’s ability to trust new people in the process, as from that point, she’s always looking for an ulterior motive and only willing to form bonds that are almost completely transparent.]

[seasaltmemories]

Yuto: Admit it! You like my girlfriend!

Dennis: Oh, come on. I mean, am I attracted to Ruri? Sure. Do my days feel better when I'm around her? Yeah. Does she get me in ways no woman ever has? Indubitably. Look, am I the kind of guy who would try to steal someone else's girlfriend? Sure, of course, but do I like her? The answer's no. You have nothing to worry about.
