#kaija rambles

[purpleqilinwrites]

thinking about being in a long-term relationship with ushijima who only ever says "i love you too", because he never says it first.

you're alright with it, you think, because he expresses his love in other ways. he texts you every day, when it takes him 5-13* business days to get back to everyone else. he remembers your orders from all the restaurants and cafés you like, even your complicated and extremely specific coffee order from that one speciality coffee shop downtown. he's the first person to tell you you can do it when you have a new dream that feels far out of your reach, that the best thing to do is to try. he sends you pictures of his day and sometimes pictures of himself even if he doesn't understand the point of a selfie when you obviously know what he looks like; you've known him for about half your life at this point, haven't you?

you know how he is, and you love him, so it's okay. it's okay, until it's not because you're bawling like a baby when he says "i love you" and you're the one who has to fight back tears to choke out "i love you too".

I don't respond to messages in my inbox that are just 'hello'. In my experience, it's usually a troll or some random guy who saw my pic and wants to talk to me based on my looks. I really hate that.

If you want to get to know me, follow me, see what I'm about, interact with my posts.

I'm definitely not everyone's cup of tea and it's just not worth my time to respond to messages that don't give me a thing to go on as to why they're messaging me.

Not even sorry. My time and inner peace is more important to me and the people I care about than some rando in my inbox who doesn't even follow me. Meaning they have no clue who I am and what I stand for. Most would probably run if they figure out I'm trans. Or send desth threats because I'm not what they assumed. That's happened more times than I can count.

They could at least do something like 'Hey, I saw your post on, X. -ask question/pay compliment.

Not just 'hello' jfc. I'm bad at people, but that's a level below even my abysmal social skills.

this is what i wrote btw

i got bored at work on sunday and started writing out a potential fic for kaija’s backstory

[hayatoseyepatch]

hewwo, sam! ❤ congrats on your 1000!!! so happy for you!

your celebration event's so cute and fun, so i'm here with a request hahaha. i would like to request a selfship moodboard for nanami and me, please! he's a foodie and so am i, and i think sharing food is extremely central to our relationship. late for work? let's go eat. promotion? let's go eat! bad day? let's go eat. bored? let's go eat.

i don't live in a place with a christmas market culture, but i imagine that nanami and i would definitely make time to visit at least once a week for the entire holiday season! just eating around and sipping on something warm.

nanami isn't someone who likes to buy things for himself, so one thing i do like about the holidays is getting him a gift! it will be over dinner at home, just the two of us. maybe we'll be wearing 'ugly' christmas sweaters together for the fun of it!

i don't have any colour preferences! personally, i'm not too close with my family, so i would like it very much if it's a holiday thing just between nanami and me!

a picrew of me for reference:

(i tried to make the jujutsu tech uniform here hahaha!)

thank you for taking the time to read! i'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. so exciting! ❤ and congrats again on your 1000 sam!!!

AHHH HI KAIJA ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Thank you so much for your sweet words and for participating in my event! I'm so excited for this one, because I agree food is such an intimate part of a relationship with Nanami. He's alos a fairly solitary man and in Japan Christmas is more of a romantic holiday. So, spending the holiday with just you both would be his ideal in my opinion and I feel like the both of you are just the perfect match!

Anywhosies, enough of my rambling hehe I hope you enjoy my love!

Suprise! A little drabble for you ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა

Nanami hummed along to the Christmas music playing gently through the speaker, arms curled around your waist from behind as you rolled out the dough on the counter. Your shared home smelt every bit like the baked goods you were both making. Nanami appreciated moments like this, just being able to spent time just the both of you. Soaking in all of your attention and sharing what time you both could together given your hectic careers. He loved soaking in all of your attention and sharing a meal with you.

Once the gingerbread dough was laid out on the counter, he pulled you gently away from the counter, continuing to hum as spun you to face him. He smiles, stroking your cheek, expression fond. Leaning in to the twirl you to start, finishing it with a hand on the small of your back securing your frame as he dipped you. He then pulled you back upright, humming along to the music as he danced around the kitchen with you. Relishing in the sweet giggle that he was awarded with from his antics. His eyes meet yours, heart hammering in his chest even after all of this time at the expression they hold.

Nanami matches your fond eyes, smile widening, the fond expression never slipping from his features. He loved the way you could make him feel all the love you had to offer within your kind eyes. It was one of those intricacies that made you, you and he loved that about you. His smile becomes wobbly at the love your gaze holds, leaning into your gentle touch his own hand coming to cup your cheek, knocking his nose with your in a pseudo kiss. Nanami grins placing a large hand on the small of you back, dipping you romantically with one hand on the back of your neck to keep you steady as he finally, finally placed his lips over yours.

[goddevouringserpent]

tagged by @miseryscrowned to take the "Which D&D class suits your personality?" (or, in this case, your OC's personality) quiz. took me ages because I have been so busy & stressed out I am starting to lose track of time, but wat ever we stay silly and take things as best as we can take them~

putting it under a cut because I chose not one, but two OCs for this, and as is often the case with me I started rambling and this got long as hell, lol.

in light of the DLC release date announcement, I'm back in WOTR mode and rotating my beloved wrathful girlie at washing machine speed, so!

picrew credit

Kaija (she/they), my most developed Knight Commander. who, yes, has a canon class, or... sort of canon? IDK, she's a Sword Saint/Vivisectionist, but I've been contemplating a different build for the run I'll do once the DLC comes out—probably will still be martial heavy, but we'll see... anyway, I just wanted to see what class she got assigned based on her personality LOL

and the result was:

Rogue

You’re a practical and unusually resourceful person with big dreams that may or may not involve copious amounts of money or treasure. You’re ambitious, you know what you want, and you’ll do whatever you can to get it. Some people might think you’re selfish, but you know it’s important to take care of yourself first. You thrive under pressure and you might have a bit of a mischievous or chaotic side.

Arcane Trickster subclass

Some rogues enhance their fine-honed skills of stealth and agility with magic, learning tricks of enchantment and illusion. You’re an adaptable person who likes to cultivate a range of skills and interests. Once you decide to pick up a new skill or hobby, you’re more than willing to put in a little time and effort to learn how to do it well. You like to feel competent and powerful. You’re not always the most direct person and you may sometimes hide your true thoughts and feelings behind lies or misdirection. Some people might not know what to expect of you, or you might be a bit misunderstood, but you’re capable of a lot more than some people give you credit for.

and I'll admit the result really surprised me at first because I've never seen them as the roguish type—she is quite literally built like a wrestler, roughly 190cm tall, contains multitudes of rage & does not have a single subtle bone in her—but upon reflection I can definitely see it, especially considering how the test openly states that it assigns a class based on personality, not mechanics. the descriptions given match really well, too; INSANELY resourceful, ambitious, materialistic, selfish, chaotic, adaptable, hates feeling powerless/needs to feel like the strongest and most powerful person in the room at any given time, rarely if ever shows her true feelings, often underestimated or not taken seriously despite being more than competent enough to deserve a different treatment... so yeah, fair, she would make a really good rogue! might keep that in mind for the aforementioned new build plans hehe

also: fun result considering one of the characters I ship Kai with—and who is essentially her "endgame" pairing in terms of being a healthy, loving, long-term relationship—is Woljif... who is an Eldritch Scoundrel 🤭 meant for each other~

--

then, because I am equally as excited about Shadow of the Erdtree releasing soon (June release dates for both DLCs, in fact... I'm gonna eat GOOD this winter break 😌), my Tarnished Yunia! aka the other she/they I have been spinning in the vortex of my thoughts 24/7, and who hilariously enough could not be more different from Kaija if they tried lol

art credit (and also sick as hell modern fit design credit)

Yunia got:

Cleric

You’re dedicated, caring, and probably a sucker for happy endings. You spend so much time helping other people that you might forget to take care of yourself. You’re very idealistic and have a strong sense of faith in your beliefs, which may be actual religious beliefs or just your personal moral code. You like to be prepared for a variety of situations and you may have a bit of a protective side.

Nature domain

Gods of nature are as varied as the natural world itself; from inscrutable gods of the deep to friendly deities associated with particular springs and groves. You feel comforted by nature and you’re drawn to the outdoors. You want to do as much as you can to take care of our world and you wish other people would take environmental concerns more seriously. You might come across as a calm and easygoing person most of the time, but you can have a surprisingly vicious side when someone violates your principles. You’re not afraid to confront harsh truths and you generally have a practical and realistic outlook on life.

Cleric tracks, it's a ridiculously good fit for her thematically—their entire Character Thing is passionate devotion towards the House of Caria (and later, to Ranni & her ideal for the Age of Stars) which overrides even their most basic self-preservation instinct at times and is pretty much, like, the core of their identity. so in a D&D AU, Yunia being a cleric of the Moon goddess Ranni would work out extremely well: following her dogma to a letter, doing everything in Ranni's name and to serve her earthly purposes, drawing from that very faith and dedication to find their own power and way in life, hopelessly in love with Ranni but shh don't tell anyone

Nature domain, on the other hand, I did not see coming, but the description works... ish? like, I'm not sure Yunia is particularly concerned about environmental issues in their source material LOL (even if there is quite a lot of shit to be concerned about, but that's probably on account of the Lands Between being an absolute shithole at the best of times <3), but in a modern AU I could definitely see her going for something like Environmental Sciences, yeah. being a protector-type with very firm beliefs is, again, a core part of their personality, & it's more likely they'd find themself working with flora or fauna because she is just Not good with people at all lol

(the part about having a "surprisingly vicious side" is 100% true though and I hope one day I can write any of the fics involving her I have planned, because that would be SO much fun to delve into :3)

tagging @hate-not-wanting-a-name (Zimka and/or Fixer? Zimka and/or Fixer maybe? my beloved little guys perhaps? 👀), @takers-flames, and UUHHH whoever else wants to do this, feel free to say I tagged you / mention me in your post so I can see! I'd tag more but I'm pretty sure that most of my mutuals' OCs already have assigned classes lmao 😭

[krakrac]

gonna ramble some more because ive been thinking about how exactly yrsk realized he has feelings for nyr. mainly for my needs because its nice to have it summarized in case i forget.

right so we are located in this underground city of sorts, our group of protagonists is resting after saving snori and nyr from a certain place. they are both unconscious and while hara is looking after the former, yrsk does the same with the latter. he could chat with his companions to make his thoughts wander away from his friend and calm himself down (bro is scared shitless because what if he doesnt wake up. what if he wakes up and he is a completely different person... for reasons). so he is just lying there next to nyr on the bed, staring at him and letting his thoughts go apeshit.

he thinks about what nyr means to him. how he could not function properly for the entire time nyr was gone, how he could bring himself to get up only for a thought of rescuing nyr (and snori). he was done, always on the verge of another breakdown, anxiety paralyzing him. how come he felt this way only with him, how come the thought of his good friend snori living the same nightmare as nyr does not evoke such terror, squeezing his throat and suffocating him? yes, he is worried about her, a lot, in fact, really, but only the idea of nyr's dead body was making him straight up suicidal.

finally, the train of thoughts arrived to a place yrsk has been pushing away from himself - romantic feelings. everything then falls into place. he gets frightened even more than before. he cant let nyr know. nobody can know. because just as before, nyr would simply become a weapon that could be used against him - just as when his former lover, kaija, was taken hostage, used as a leverage to unsuccessfully make yrsk behave and subsequently killed without mercy. he could not bear another loss of a loved one if he allowed himself to express this love and found out this love is reciprocated, especially because not long after losing kaija, he also lost even his best friend, a man who he saw as his second father.

nyr was both of these things - a best friend and a potential lover, a person yrsk deeply loved, his soulmate even for he never felt this safe and content with anyone else, not even kaija. but even despite everything that scarred yrsk, he could not run away from the feelings, even if he knew where to. nyr needed him, and heck, yrsk needed nyr. in the end, it was nyr who made yrsk appreciate life again. he decided he would not ever speak of this realization to nyr, or anyone, for that matter. he would keep quiet, simply stay friends with nyr because after all, he doesnt even know if nyr feels the same.

fast forward a few hours, nyr wakes up. takes him only a few seconds to fully come to his senses and upon seeing yrsk's anxious face, he immediatelly falls into his embrace, bawling his eyes out and just letting out all the fear and horror he has been facing before being rescued. because yrsk was there, yrsk was okay, they were both okay.

yrsk simply reciprocated the embrace, hugging nyr hard and thinking that he would really want to kiss nyr in that moment, long and soft. show him that everything is alright. show him that he would die for him. but he did nothing but whispering soothing words to nyr, letting him cry for as long as he needed in his arms.

(oops longer than i expected and maybe a bit chaotic, nvm)

✧ OC Asks! ✧

I compiled a short list of some questions that I hadn’t seen yet to help you (and me) have some fun while developing OCs. Feel free to answer these yourself, or ask someone else!

1. How does your OC feel about their full name?

2. What do strangers notice about them first?

3. How does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?

4. How do they act around a crush?

5. Do they have a “tell” for when they’re lying?

6. What do they smell like?

7. What is their hair texture like?

8. How much jewelry do they wear, and do they have a favorite or distinguishing piece?

9. Do they have a word or phrase that they tend to overuse?

10. What is a weird quality that they have (ie their hands are always cold, they’re always hungry, they snort when they laugh, etc)?

11. What color do they look strikingly good in?

12. How do they show affection to someone they love?

13. Do they make strong/frequent eye contact when they talk to someone?

14. What attributes do they have that are inherited from their parents or shared with their siblings/other relatives?

15. Are their greatest flaw and their greatest strength related and in what way? (ie very caring and helpful but a doormat, or very observant and shrewd but often paranoid)

16. How has their childhood affected the way they view an aspect of their life (people, education, society, themselves, etc)?

And that’s all! Remember to reblog with your answers, I’m genuinely curious to hear about other people’s characters/writing processes!

nanami "booping your forehead with his forehead is his pda" kento

[purpleqilinwrites]

i can't stop thinking about that scene in csm where aki was making coffee, except it's nanami.

nanami, who makes sure to get up earlier than you so he can leisurely grind your coffee beans of choice in the quiet of the morning, while the sky is still dark and the world hasn't woken up. nanami, who has water boiling on the stove while he watches your portion of bread start to brown in the oven. nanami, who wakes you up with kisses in your hair and on your shoulder and along your arm, whispering in your ear that he's got your breakfast ready.

[purpleqilinwrites]

i've been consumed by my new skyrim playthrough these days and i just had a thought about akaashi, the jarl's steward, and reader, the jarl's personal blacksmith.

akaashi, who's never been interested in weapons and smithing and metals, is suddenly hovering around reader at the forge during his free time to ask them questions about their work. akaashi, who'd much rather read books than work with his hands, is suddenly busying himself with fetching coal and helping reader stoke the flames of the forge. akaashi, who's much more comfortable melting into the curtains at the jarl's side during court sessions, is suddenly trying to show off that he too knows how to work a blade by offering to chop some firewood for reader.

iwaizumi hajime (27), bsc in kaiju physiology, has resigned from his fancy research job at izumo tech and is starting anew as a jakdf officer.

as cool as studying godzilla and friends among mostly like-minded colleagues was, fieldwork would suit him much better.

i had a dream that mithrun's seiyuu was umehara yuuichirou

[purpleqilinwrites]

jujutsu kaisen is a series about magical people who use magical powers to fight magical creatures that happens to be set in japan, and it's so funny to me that gege made a naturally blond japanese character and decided to justify it with "his maternal grandfather is danish" instead of magic like literally everything else

i just spent almost an hour enjoying true form sukuna art, and i'm so tempted to write something for him—

i started making water kefir at home about 3 weeks ago and i must say that it's been really good for my skin. 11/10 would recommend!

i got cyberpunk 2077 ultimate edition for myself as an early christmas present. just yesterday i logged 30-something hours in the game and i just—

i have ripperdoc reader and rising star merc nanami on the brain.

it's either that, or ex-corpo fixer nanami who newly inherited the business and oldtimer netrunner reader who doesn't trust the new kid yet (reader is a little older than nanami here!).
