Psychonnect 2024- Kyoto Report (2024/05/01)

I feel like I don't want to give too much away, since the tour has only just started, but....

it was an incredible show! 

I got there after walking through the rain, and lined straight up to get an aknot stamp book. They were sold out! But I was able to fill in an online form to get one deliverd to my home address instead, hopfully with that Kyoto stamp in it!

I had been desperate to get a shimote seat for this show, and boy did I get a shimote seat! The end seat of the back row of shimote, right in the corner!😂 This would suck for a standing live, but since this was a hall, I was really high up there at the back, and I had an unobstructed view of the whole stage. The only downside is at that distance its too far to really see the small details in the members' outfits etc, but still a great view!

This was also possibly the best spot to experience the incredible lighting from. I was absolutely awestruck by how gorgeous the lighting effects were in this performance, they was so well designed and absolutely beautiful to see. Another reason to love hall lives! 

As for the members costumes, I saw Kaoru the most of course. For the main he was wearing what seemed like layered skirts, with a fitted cape encasing his shoulders. He had a fan blowing at him too, so his skirt/s were blowing in the wind atmospherically the whole time. For the encore, he had on the black Cage tshirt, a knee length black skirt, with those fringes hanging from his knees.

I remember seeing through the fringes, him  standing up on his toes while playing the guitar solo in Sustain. 

Another great moment, Kaoru getting ready for his part, strutting around in circles like a bad guy, while Toshiya was playing the bass solo in Cage. 

Speaking of Toshiya, his outfit was really impressive to see in reality, he looked straight out of a Tudor portrait with that dress! 

Kyo was in his corset setup, black hair extensions look. 

Highlights of the setlist for me were probably Ranunculus, TDIM, Perfume of Sins, Hageshisa. Don't get me wrong, I love the Gauze revival, I spent my late teens in love with Gauze, it will always be important. But their newer music just hits me in the heart like nothing else, it is other worldly in comparison. This was also my first time to hear Ranunculus live, since I was unable to attend any of The Insulated World touring (for reasons outside of my control). So very happy about that! Oh, and I loved Kaoru's guitar solo in Raison d'etre 😍. 

Next for me is Osaka day 2 on June 5th!

Heart Shaped Wound:

Hanayama’s Smut Ending

Hanayama ‘s Smut Ending

Minors Do Not Interact

Author’s note: l finished this smut piece faster than I thought I would!

._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.

       (Your name) was thrown into Hanayama’s plush bed. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest as she scooted herself up to the head board in fear.

        Hanayama chuckled at her shyness while he tore his suit apart into shreds. Her eyes wide in terror at his strained erection in his fundoshi. He was big… he was too big.

       Hanayama smiled at her gaze, the man reached forward to grab her legs. His hands wrapped around her hamstrings and pulled her back towards him. He shushed her softly.

          “I’ll be gentle… we’ll ease into things.” Hanayama whispered as his hands moved up to the top of her dress. “But this has to go. I want to see you.”

         With a sharp tug, he ripped apart the top of her dress like wrapping paper. His breath hitched at the sight of her bare breasts. His thumbs quickly rubbed small circles around her nipples in awe.

         “So pretty… you’re so cute.” Hanayama leaned his face forward, his breath fanned against her right nipple. “I just want a taste.”

          (Your name) threw her head back when he began to suckle, a sharp gasp left her throat. Hanayama quickly pulled her hips to his so he could grind his erection into her pelvis. He was so big and he made her feel so funny…

         Hanayama’s skilled tongue flicked across her sensitive nipple between harsh sucks. He was like a starving babe in his eagerness.

        (Your name) whined and gasped under his demonstrations, his hands made quick work of the rest of the dress until she was only in her underwear. His hands rested on her hips while he rocked her to the rhythm of his own hips.

        It was when his fingers dipped between her went folds that she shoved his chest back a bit.

         “No! That’s too far, Kaoru.” (Your name) blushed, but Hanayama only chuckled at her cuteness. She was so cute to think she could stop him from his prize. From his rightful claim on her.

        “I’m just going to ease you into being able to take me.” Kaoru whispered softly, his fingers snapped off the sides of her panties and threw them across the room with the rest of the tattered clothes. “I don’t want you to hurt too much.”

         (Your name) shook her head but Kaoru only responded by holding the back of her legs and tilting her hips up. His dark eyes narrowed a bit at her.

        “Don’t be a bad girl. I want to make your first time special so you have to be good, do you understand?” Hanayama’s glare made her gulp. She felt like she was just scolded like a child so she just nodded her head. “Good. Now say thank you, sir.”

         “T-thank you, sir.” Hanayama smiled, he maneuvered his face between her legs to press a kiss against her soft folds.

        “Good…. See? That’s not so hard, right?” Hanayama leaned forward and ran his tongue between her slit. Her body jolted at the touch. “Now hold still so I can enjoy my dessert.”

          (Your name) threw her head back when she felt his tongue enter her. Her fingers tangled in his hair while he thrusted his wet muscle in and out of her. A moan escaped her lips at the new sensation she’s never felt before.

        Hanayama was able to hold her legs apart but he was terrified of her crushing his head like she once did. He just needed to give her a taste of what he could do so she’d be hooked.

      Hanayama pulled his mouth away and slid a thick finger into her. His thumb began to rub circles on her clit, her thighs shook at the new stimulations. 

      “Ah! It… it feels so… good.” (Your name) cried softly, her eyes filled with tears from pleasure. Hanayama was skilled, everything felt so good…

        Hanayama smiled down at her. He was glad she enjoyed this. He wanted her to feel good.

         It was when he added a second finger that she came immediately. Her body trembled and shook while Hanayama smirked at how she whined his name. So cute…

         Hanayama pulled his soaked fingers out and popped them into his mouth for a taste. A shiver went down his spine from the sweetness. 

        “This should be enough…” Hanayama pressed his lips to (your name)’s. He laced his fingers with hers and pushed her hands down on the bed. He then circled her hands to be above her head so one of his hands could hold her wrists together while the other stroked his length. “It’s going to be a little uncomfortable at first but I promise to be gentle.”

      Hanayama lined himself up at her entrance, his thick tip slowly breached the right ring of muscles. A hiss left his lips at how tight she was. She was tighter than anything he’s been in before… this meant (your name) was all his.

        “It hurts…” (your name) cried, Hanayama softly shushed her. His hand moved to her clit, his thumb rubbed soft circles over the little bud. 

          “I’m sorry, dear. I’m taking it slow.” Hanayama had to bite his lip. He wasn’t even half way in yet and it took everything in him not to just ram himself into her to permanently etch himself inside of her insides. “Fuck… so tight.”

        (Your name) whined, tears fell from her eyes from the uncomfortable pain. “Please… just push in all the way. It’s too slow-“

          (Your name) nearly screamed when she felt Hanayama buck his hips so that he bottomed out into her. Hanayama cursed at the bulge he could see on her stomach from him. Fuck… he was too big.

         (Your name) whined at how full she felt… how huge Hanayama was. He was so deep she swore she felt him in her guts. 

         Hanayama observed her face for any sign of discomfort. His thumb didn’t miss a stroke so she’d adjust to him faster. Once he saw she was relaxed, he slowly began to thrust. He paid no mind to the blood that coated his length.

          “You’re so perfect.” Hanayama whispered, he released her wrists so he could wrap his hand behind her head to stabilize her. His lips press against hers over and over while he rocked his hips into hers. “Taking me so well.”

           (Your name) was on cloud nine. His dick was so big and she was close to another orgasm from his expert skills with his thumb. She could only moan and gasp while the sounds of skin slapping skin echo throughout the room.

His heavy balls slapped against the fat of her ass with each powerful thrust and it was about to send her over.

         Hanayama smirked at her blissed out expression. “Cum for me.”

           Hanayama was thrilled when she obeyed, he firmly pressed hips lips against hers. Her nails dug into his back while her body shook and spasmed on his cock. The yakuza boss pressed kisses all over her cheeks while she gasped.

        “That’s a good girl.” Kaoru then flipped her so she was on top, his hands wrapped around her hips. “But I’m not done with you yet so take what I give.”

         (Your name) began to sob as Hanayama harshly slammed his hips up into her warmth. The man extended her orgasm on his fat cock while he chased his own high. Hanayama’s head thrown back, blood trickled down his lip from his hard he bit it. 

          “You all mine!” Hanayama hissed, his hips stuttered and she felt something hot fill her womb. Hanayama gasped, his cock twitched inside of her. He hasn’t meant to cum inside… but how could he turn down this perfect pussy? 

      Hanayama helped (your name) off his cock. The man pulled her into her arms, his lips pressed on her head. She was limp like a noodle… he hadn’t meant to go for so long. 

       “You did good.” Hanayama whispered, he pressed more kisses to her sleepy face. She was his… she was all his and there was nothing anyone could do to try to take her from him. “I love you so much.”

       (Your name) was so exhausted but she was able to turn her gaze to Hanayama’s soft gaze. “I love you too…”

        Hanayama felt himself melt completely. His lips pressed against her soft ones over and over. 

        Was it horrible of him to want to go for a few more rounds?

.

.

.

        In three days time she found herself in a traditional wedding kimono. A few maids helped her with her hair and makeup. 

         “You’re so lucky, miss. Hanayama will treat you so well.”

       (Your name) smiled softly at her reflection. She knew Hanayama would. He’s shown her that over the last few days that he would…

        And he also showed her what would happen to those who dare to harm her. Hanayama would go to to ensure her happiness and safety.

        (Your name) would rather have a man like that as her ally than as her enemy. And if that meant becoming his wife, then she’d do it.

         (Your name) smiled at the white silk ropes that were barely visible under her wedding kimono. Hanayama had wanted to ease her into some of his.. darker perversions and she allowed him.

          After all, she was nothing more than a pretty gift for him to unwrap after this anyways… and she’d allow Hanayama to have complete control.

       It’s not like she any control over her own life anymore. Why not accept her fate rather than fight it? She didn’t want to end up like Zaria after all…

other thoughts about Ouran genderswap au where they're doing a zuka club

-the theatre performances all suck. varying effort is made by any of the participants

-it is technically a theatre troupe but most people are just regular attendees because they get to hang with their preferred host afterwards because Tamaki insists on hour long meet and greets. For a school theatre troupe.

-Kyoya is so much more deranged about her future because her sister is literally getting married off when she meets Tamaki for the first time and here's Tamaki like "oh what do you mean you won't inherit? I'm an only child so even though I'm a girl I'll get everything. Though actually maybe I won't even go to college, I always thought I'd make it as a model lalalala" and Kyoya is insane about it

-Hikaru and Kaoru are actually set to inherit their matrilineal family line and therefore are mommy's specialist little princesses and probably do not get almost killed by their nanny as children because they're not left to raise themselves as much. They're still Like That though because still no one can tell them apart and they're weird and off-putting

-Renge's fujo fantasies are all fantasies about thinly veiled ecchi bait harem fan service. It's extremely unpalatable. Parodies of this frequently happen.

-is it funnier for Tamaki to be entirely unaware she's created a bisexual harem or is it funnier for her to be like I am SO beautiful that even girls love me... sigh I wish I wasn't straight so I could share my beauty with more people <- deluded

-in ep five during the fake fight, Hikaru cuts her hair off and then Kaoru makes snide comments about her dumbass bob. Then obviously Kaoru has to cut her hair off afterwards too.

-ironically college Kaoru has the exact same haircut as canon college Kaoru in that she cuts it off again. That haircut is a universal constant on both sides of the gay community I'm afraid.

-Kyoya and the twins are using the zuka club to create blackmail fodder on half the student body. Kyoya is using it for future business endeavours, to always have something up her sleeve to get ahead. Hikaru and Kaoru are just contributing to it by tricking their regulars into various compromising situations for entertainment

-when the host club tries to steal Haruhi, their response is to host a performance of a shonen sports anime to show that girls can be guys too. Mori is actually really good at baseball and takes it super seriously. Hikaru and Kaoru spend the entire time speaking in sports analogies that get increasingly innunedo-ified

-Haruhi has to be exactly the same. The majority of his dialogue doesn't even change. None of his outfits even change. Literally same font.

hello could i req some sub kaoru with a fem reader edging and praising him while he's tied up? pls if that's not too much <3

A/N: 3 posts in a week??? no way. I was saving this for kaorus day on NSFW month but I felt like making smth else for that. enjoy!

Pairing: Kaoru Hakaze x fem!reader

Content: Kaorus such a pretty boy, oh the fun you could have with him...

Warnings: NSFW, bondage, tiny bit of edging, handjobs, brief blowjob(?), biting, mild pain play

Words: 494

NSFW oneshot under cut!

Pretty Boy~

This was going to be so much fun.

Kaoru was such a pretty boy, all of the woman-and even some of the men-of ES were aware of that. He was so sweet and charming, always ready to fire off a flirtatious joke at any woman that came his way, and he was so, very good looking. Sharp jawline, dark eyes, long and silky blond hair, that tan surfer body... like a real-life Ken doll. The thought of him, and what he might be like in bed, was enough to send the most conservative woman into fits of giggles, the most straight-laced men into the most erotic daydreams...

It was a real shame he was actually a huge masochist.

/-------

"Augh!-Mmmmph-"

Kaorus cry's and moans were muffled by the ball gag strapped to his face. His hands were bound behind his head and his were ankles tied to the end of the bed with thick black rope, leaving his throbbing erection on full display for you.

"What's wrong, dear? Can't handle it?~" You teased, running the tip of your nail up his shaft, earning another muffled cry of pleasure from him. "You're so good for me, poor baby" You cooed, taking his length in your hand.

He threw his head back in another messy moan, his hips thrusting upwards to meet your strokes. His mind was a mess, his thoughts consumed by you and the way you touched him. So firm, so teasing, yet also so gentle and loving. You knew just how to make him fall apart, how to make him crumble beneath you.

You leaned forward, licking a stripe down from his tip, to his balls, then down to the muscled flesh of his thighs. You bit down hard, sucking a deep purple hickeys into the area as you continued your rough strokes to his length.

"Y-you bitch!" He cried out, or at least tired to. It came out as more of a muffled babble, to which you found adorable.

You pulled back, removing your mouth from his thigh and your hand from his cock. A string of saliva and a tiny bit of blood connected to the bite mark dripped down your lips, which were turning upwards into a grin at the look of pure desperation on your lovers face. His eyes were blown wide with lust, chest heaving with each breath as he struggled against the restraints.

It was kinda funny, actually. He had been the one to beg you to do this and here he was, whining and cussing like a bratty child.

"I think that's enough for now, unless you plan on being a good boy for me?" You purred, moving to straddle his hips.

Kaorus eyes shot open in a glare, his mouth opening and closing in another muffled attempt to cuss you out. His anger only made you chuckle, however.

You had been right. This was the most fun you'd ever had.

[umiewrites]

haii ^^ 🌰, 🫘, 🍳 for kaoru w/ a transmasc reader plz?

Helloooo <33 omg transmasc reader 🤤 me too vro

This or that, NSFW Ask game

Nsfw under the cut. Kaoru × transmasc reader

Ask game here!

🌰 Being dominant or submissive?

Submissive. It's just what he prefers. Even if he's topping, that submissive side of him shows in the way he's babbling your name, seeing stars, and chasing, begging to cum. He won't do it until you give him permission. You're top priority, so no matter how good your cunt squeezes around him, he'll always submit to your whims and desires. He won't cum until you let him, he won't do anything against your orders, slower? Faster? Rougher? Softer? He's at your command. If it's you fucking into him with a strap-on, you get to take advantage of his full on submissiveness. Same schtick, he won't do a thing against your orders. He'll be begging so good for release. Anything for you.

🫘 Using their fingers or their tongue?

Tongue. He loves to use his tongue on you, so bad. Already established that he's a service kinda man, he'll do anything for your pleasure. He just thinks he'll be able to give you more pleasure and get more for himself if he uses his tongue. Even when it comes to prepping you, he prefers to use his tongue. He just loves getting a taste, something about oral and the way it's all about servicing you... Plus he gets the meal of his life lapping at your folds and sucking at your clit. Like he's gonna pass on that.

🍳 Morning sex or late night sex?

Late night sex. In the morning is when he's expected to be up and clocking in, so in the morning, he's only gonna be available for a quickie or two. Though, he might stay if you coax him enough, which isn't hard to do— he's whipped for you. But for his preference, he'd go for late night sex any day. You get the whole world to yourselves while everyone else is asleep. He's free, and you can relax and go to sleep right after... It's just perfect. Plus, with so much time at night, you get so much more time to ruin each other and make him a mess, drunk on your pussy.

I hope this was okay tbh,, hope this was what u were looking for 🙏 if not that's okay! You can clarify and I can edit it <3

〈時は遡って、十一月上旬のある日。リズリンの事務所にて〉

(Back in time: a day in early November - at the Rhythm Link office)

Rei: 晃牙や~。晃牙はおらんかえ~?

Rei: Oh Koga~. Is Koga not here~? 

Rei: 。。。。。。う〜む。晃牙は一向に姿を現さんのう。昨日『ホールハンズ』で運絡したときも既読無視じゃったし。反抗期かのう?

Rei: …… Hmm~. Koga never shows up. Even when I tried touching base with him via “Hold Hands” yesterday, he left me on read. Is he going through a rebellious phase? 

Rei: 薫くんもアドニスくんも、晃牙の姿は見ておらんかや?

Rei: Kaoru-kun and Adonis-kun: have you seen Koga?

Adonis: 。。。。。。そのことだが、���間先輩。文面が良くなかったのではと、俺は思っている

Adonis: …… That’s the thing, Sakuma-Senpai. I was thinking that, maybe, the contents of your text weren’t great. 

Kaoru: あはは、俺もそう思う。バラエティ嫌いの晃牙くんに "バラエティ番組の出演依頼が来ておる" はないよね~

Kaoru: Ahaha. I think so too. Koga-kun hates variety shows. I don’t think he’s ever been asked to appear in one.~ 

Kaoru: 最近はドラマの出演もあったし、晃牙くんもさすがに運チャンでライブ以外の仕事をするのは嫌なんじゃない?

Kaoru: Koga-kun had recently appeared in a TV drama… but, just as you'd expect from him, he’s a hack** who is unwilling to do any work besides Lives, right? 

Kaoru: もしかすると、最近の『UNDEAD』の方向性に性に抗議したいのかもしれないね。そのためのサボリ~、みたいな♪

Kaoru: Perhaps he wants to object to the direction “UNDEAD” has been going in lately. That could be why he’s slacking off.~♪

Koga: おいコラ、誰がサボリだって? 羽風先輩にだけは言われたくね~ っつの

Koga: Oi, who’s slacking off? I don’t want to hear anything about that from the likes of Hakaze-senpai.  

Rei: おぉ晃牙。来てくれたのかや

Rei: Oh, Koga. You have arrived. 

Koga: 待たせちまったな。ライブハウスに顔出ししてたら、後輩たちに囲まれちまってよ

Koga: Sorry to have kept ya waiting. I was surrounded by kouhai as soon as I showed my face at the music club. 

Koga: ギリギリ間に合うと思って走ってきたんだが、すこし遅れちまった

Koga: I was thinking I could just barely make it in time if I ran but I’m still a little late…

Rei: くくく。晃牙もちゃんと『先輩』しておるのう。良いことじゃ

Rei: Kukuku. Koga is also properly a “senpai.” That’s a good thing.  

Rei: それに、今回の件は打ち合わせというより雑談のようなものじゃ。気にするほどのことでもないわい

Rei: Besides, the matter at hand is more like idle chit-chat than a briefing session. It’s not a big deal. 

Rei: 実は、最近話題の脱出ゲームバライティ【エスケープマンション】が、若手アイドルを出演させる大会を行うようなんじゃ

Rei: As a matter of fact, “Escape Mansion,” the escape room variety show that’s hot these days, is holding something like a tournament for young idols.

Rei: それで、老舗事務所であるリズリンの若手アイドルから数名ーーー 『UNDEAD』からもひとりは出演してほしいと依頼が来ておる。誰か興味はあるかのう?

Rei: So, considering that the long-established Rhythm Link agency has several young idols —- a request has arrived through “UNDEAD” to have one of us appear on the show. Is anyone interested?

Koga: 脱出ゲームバラエティ。。。。。。? 何だそれ?

Koga: Escape room variety show……? What’s that?

Kaoru: 最近はみんなで恊力して謎解きをするイベントが流行ってるんだよ

Kaoru: Events where everyone cooperates to solve puzzles are now in vogue.

Kaoru: 『脱出ゲーム』とか、『謎解きゲーム』とか呼びかたは様々だけど

Kaoru: They are called various things such as  “Escape Room” or “Puzzle Solving Game.”

Kaoru: そんな脱出ゲームをバラエティ番組でお茶の間に放送したのが【エスケープマンション】だね

Kaoru: “Escape Mansion” is a living room variety show that broadcasts escape rooms like that. 

Rei: うむ。そして、収録当日は我輩は別の仕事が入っておるので、『UNDEAD』から別のメンバーを推薦しようと思ったんじゃよ

Rei: Mmhmm. And I was thinking of recommending another member from “UNDEAD” since I have another job on the day of the recording. 

Koga: はぁ、またそういう感じの仕事かよ。俺様はライブがしたいってのに。。。。。。

Koga: Haaa. That kind of job again? I want to perform lives though…… 

Rei: では、晃牙は辞退するんじゃな?

Rei: Then Koga will decline. Correct? 

Koga: 当然だ。俺様が手を挙げるとでも思ったのかよ

Koga: Naturally. Did you think I would raise my hand?!

Rei: では、薫くんとアドニスくんが候補かのう。二人の予定はどうじゃろうか?

Rei: Then Kaoru-kun and Adonis-kun are the candidates. What plans do the two of you have? 

Kaoru: 俺のその日の予定はーーーちょうど空いてるっぽいね。大丈夫そう

Kaoru: My plans for that day—- are fortunately empty-ish at the moment. Okay for me.

Adonis: 俺は。。。。。。残念だが、スケジュールが被っているようだ

Adonis: Looks like…. I have a schedule conflict regrettably. 

Adonis: 『ラブ・アンド・ビースト』の反響のおかげで、TV���誌のインタビューが入っている。俺のために用意された取材だから、どうしてもずらせない

Adonis: I have a TV magazine interview thanks to the response to “Love and Beast.” I can’t shift it because the interview was arranged just for me.

Rei: ふむ。では『UNDEAD』からは薫くんに出演してもらうかのう

Rei: Mmhm. Then I guess we’ll have Kaoru-kun appear for “UNDEAD.” 

Rei: 返事は数日ほど保留しておくゆえ、晃牙も気が変わったら言うが良い♪

Rei: I’ll hold off on replying for a few days. Also, Koga, if you change your mind, feel free to tell me! ♪

Koga: 誰がやるかっつの。俺様は謎を解いたり脱出したり、そんなことで喜んだりはしね~ぞ?

Koga: Who’s going to do what now? I wouldn’t be happy about solving puzzles or escaping, would I?!

Koga: この間のドラマみたいに、主題歌を歌わせてもらえるとかなら考えてやらなくもないけどな。さすがに、そう都合の良いことが何度もあるわけね~だろ

Koga: If I could sing the theme song or something like in that last TV drama, then I wouldn’t mind considering it. All the same, how many times do you have a convenient good excuse!?

Translation Notes:

*Idiom. Lit: make a barking face. Insult meaning to make someone cry.

**運チャン (Un-chan). Casual and relatively pejorative term for a cab driver.

[cold-heart-warm-writings]

Anime I think each of the Host Club members would like:

Tamaki - Your Lie in April - Classical music, young love, the focus on the piano, and the touch of devastation? He’s grabbing the tissues and holding Haruhi extra tight the next time he sees her. He watches it every April.

Kyoya - Death Note - It’s secretly a partial autobiography, but the ending had to be changed with Light getting caught because if he wasn’t, then people would be on the hunt for Kyoya, and between Tamaki, the Host Club, and being the best in class, he doesn’t want the Japanese police force annoying him too.

Haruhi - Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san - This is a very lowkey and chill anime based on the real life experiences of the author. I think Haruhi would jive with the low intensity, big bookworm vibes, “are you shitting me right now?” experiences. Haruhi could probably relate on some level with being in the Host Club. It’s her favorite series to have on in the background while cleaning.

Hikaru - Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun - Hanako-kun is a little shit, and so is Hikaru. The colors are bright, the antics are funny, and there are also a few intense moments he would get wrapped up in.

Kaoru - Sword Art Online - Kaoru would enjoy the initial video game/virtual reality setup of the anime, and would get sucked in by the characters passing levels and moving through the game. He can describe in detail every arc to anyone who dares ask, and by less than halfway through, the person doesn’t bother to ask him if there are any other anime he likes. (Which is all according to plan, because he’s also a big romance fan, but he needs to keep up his image. He’s obsessed with Toradora)

Honey - Attack on Titan - Is it cute and cuddly? No. But does it feature a badass short guy who absolutely wrecks everyone’s shit and is known for being the World’s Strongest? Yes. Dispel the thought that Honey is only into cutesy things.

Mori - Demon Slayer! - The animation and the colors are insaaane, add to that all of the different fighting techniques? Mori’s hooked. He has a crush on the butterfly girl, Shinobu Kocho (but honestly, who doesn’t).

Bonus - Renge - Fruits Basket - She envisions herself as Tohru, though this girl would NOT be able to survive outside in a tent, bathing in the river. But all the male characters and very few female characters? Yaaaah, she’s happy with this show. Bonus x 2 - her favorite is Ayame.

Kaoru: Nothing’s going to change if you panic, okay?

I’m sorry. I’m a poor excuse for a senpai… As you can probably tell, this is my first time on stage, so.

As I thought, actually being on stage is much different than watching from the sidelines.

I can’t breathe properly. The lights are too bright and too hot. I’m sweating and I feel gross. I can’t concentrate because my brain keeps thinking about random, irrelevant things.

It feels like my heart’s going haywire, and that my blood isn't circulating properly.

If I don’t hold out, I might break down… It’s scary, performing like this.

On stage too. I’m only now realising this.

Adonis: Me too… I’m sorry Oogami, I’m feeling really nervous right now.

A long time ago, I used to dance with my mother. She was a singer.

I had her by my side, I knew I could rely on her. I was young, innocent, and unafraid.

I was able to perform without deliberating about it, as if it was second nature. Maybe that was because I had my mother guiding me.

She made me shine. But now, she’s not here with me. My guiding light is not here.

I have to shine on my own.

My anxiety is through the roof, and I’m scared… I feel like a child lost in the dark.

Koga: I see. Can’t I be your guidin’ light?

Nevermind. Without Sakuma-senpai here… I can’t do anythin’.

Adonis: As for Sakuma-senpai… I noticed a moment ago, but isn’t he down there?

Koga: Huh?

Adonis: After talking to you two, I felt calmer and was able to properly take a look at my surroundings… Look, he’s in the audience waving a penlight around.

Rei: Kyah~☆

UNDEAD~♪ Fight, fight, do your best~♪

Koga: I thought he wasn’t gonna show, the hell’s he doin’ down there!?

Adonis: I’m not sure but now I feel strangely satisfied.

Kaoru: S-Sneaky Sakuma-san! You’re a part of UNDEAD, so get up here!

Rei: Ahaha. Yeah yeah. Didn’t expect you of all people to say that, Hakaze-kun. You seemed the most demotivated, and the one with no sense of family.

Kaoru: Okay whatever! Hurry up! If you don’t perform properly you won’t be able to afford to pay back the retaining fee!

Chapter 13

[malfunctioningemi]

“No angel should ever show mercy to a demon”

Or, the matchablossom angel and demons au. In this world, angels are guardians of humans tasked with bringing them peace- while demons exist to feed on humans by bringing them nightmares and feasting on their memories. What happens when a demon who remembers his past life is face to face with an angel who doesn't remember him?

more lore under the cut!

While each angel and demon are born from human souls given new life, angels remove any previous memories, while Demons keep them. This is seen as a punishment to the demons and a blessing to the angels.

‘Angels’

Bringers of life and light, they live quietly and out of sight of any human, trying to bring peace to them and restore faith and hope in otherwise hard times. Unfeeling and aloof, they do their job and move on.

Able to access dreams, angels can see human aspirations for the future and can grant a single wish for their designated human.

The relationship between angels and humans- Each angel is assigned a human to care for. They are tasked with bringing them peace, or helping them cross over into the afterlife and join them as a fellow angel.

If an angel fails their job, the human soul can become a wanderer, which means they are no longer fit to exist in heaven. Wanderers will be preyed upon by corrupt demons who try to eat human souls, alive or otherwise.

Angels use long ranged weapons, mostly guns of various sizes and power levels to ensure demons stay out of their jobs and territory. They are trained that no demon is trustworthy, and to kill in sight. An angel's weak spot is the head, which is why they keep their distance.

The rule of “no angel should ever show mercy to a demon” is their code of conduct.

‘Demons’

Bringers of pain and darkness, demons live loudly and dangerously without any self-control when it comes to their usually insatiable hunger. They act on instinct and with heart rather than their heads.

Able to access memories and turn peaceful dreams to nightmares, demons tend to pray in human energy, draining them through horrid dreams that sucks the energy from them.

As demons can access human memory, they are very emotion-based. Feeling the pain, anger, love, sadness and joy of those memories as if their own.

When an angel is assigned a human that a demon is already feeding on, fights for territory can occur. Usually this results in either the death of the demon or angel, or being too injured to continue the fight and giving in to the other, but the latter has never been recorded to happen more than once.

Demons prefer alive and corrupted human souls stolen through energy and their tricks. Wanderers are little use to demons, and many see it as a cruel and unjust way to feed.

Demons use short ranged weapons such as knives, clubs, swords and axes. They are sturdy and can take a hit, usually several bullets to arms and legs. Their weak spot is the heart, which they defend.

Demons are not known to have a code of conduct, but many angels believe it to be “party until death do them in.”

In this world, Joe and Cherry were once the humans known as Kojiro and Kaoru. Reborn, Cherry was given his new name due to the pink of his hair, While Joe shortened his name from Kojiro, remembering his past. 

The two were once lovers, but now they are reunited as long lost lovers, with Joe remembering Cherry and everything about him, Cherry only sees a lowly demon. All their past lives together not even a concept to him. That is until Joe calls him “Kaoru” for the first time...

Kinktober: Day 13

Hanayama Kaoru

Minors DNI

Cock worship encompasses many different acts of attention, stimulation and adoration of the penis

Hanayama leaned back on the couch, his dark eyes studied (your name)’s face while she sat on her knees between his legs. Her eyes never left his as her hands stroked up and down his impressive length.

Hanayama smiled down at her when her lips tenderly kissed his tip. Her tongue soon dragged down his shaft, the wet muscle flicked under his frenulum, which elicited a sigh from him.

“Your cock is so big…” (your name) whispered against the member in her hands. She dragged one of her hands up and down his length. The other fondles his heavy balls. “And your balls seem heavy… I want to please you and your fat cock.”

Hanayama reached forward and tangled his hands in her hair. The yakuza pushed her face towards his member.

“Well you know where to start… open your mouth.” (Your name) eagerly nodded, the young woman opened her mouth wide for him. Hanayama pushed his fat tip into her mouth with a soft groan, their eyes never broke contact. “Remember… two slaps on my thigh and I’ll stop.”

(Your name) choked when Hanayama gave her throat a sharp thrust. Tears fell down her cheeks as he began to fuck her face. His eyes burned with lust at his submissive she was.

If she was going to worship his cock, then she better be prepared to be his personal cock sleeve. But he was a fair dom. He’d understand if he was too much to handle… but (your name) has proven him wrong time and time again.

A steady stream of a mixture of mascara and tears fell down her red cheeks but she bobbed her head to the rhythm of his thrusts. Her eyes still never broke contact from his… which only made Hanayama more lustful for her.

Hanayama lovingly ran his fingers through her hair despite the brutish actions of his thrusts in her throat. He could feel his orgasm impending just from eye contact alone…

“I’m going to cum… promise to not waste a drop or we’ll do this again.” Hanayama smirked when she bobbed her head even faster. What a hungry whore she was… his whore.

Hanayama pushed her head down until he bottomed out, his muscles taut and his face scrunched from the force of his orgasm.

Hanayama’s breathing was heavy but he pulled her head off of him with a loud pop. His eyes filled with satisfaction when she opened her mouth to reveal she swallowed every last bit.

Hanayama put his hands under her arms and pulled her onto his lap. He shoved his tongue into her mouth in a forceful dance, his fingers slid between her legs. A wicked smile on his lips as he pulled away his fingers to reveal a string of liquid on his fingers.

“You’re this turned on from worshipping my cock…” Hanayama smirked at (your name), her head leaned on his chest as she fluttered her lashes up at him.

Hanayama placed his fingers in his mouth and sucked off the essence. He gave a nod of approval. “Delicious.”

Hanayama hoisted her up on his shoulders so he could admire her soaked cunt. His eyes now made contact with hers. “My good girl deserves a reward, don’t you think?”

“Chu Chu Chu Bokura No Mirai”

Coupled with “Jinsei Never Been Better!”

Release date: June 8, 2022

Oricon Weekly placement: 2nd

Members: Akane Haga, Ayumi Ishida, Chisaki Morito, Erina Ikuta, Homare Okamura,  Kaede Kaga, Maria Makino, Mei Yamazaki, Miki Nonaka, Mizuki   Fukumura, Reina Yokoyama, Rio Kitagawa, Sakura Oda

The shakuhatchi flutes of "Chu Chu Chu Bokura No Mirai" were initially a hard sell, though maybe Kaoru Ookubo wasn't all to blame. A different kind of flute, I presume, but they rang close enough in memory for me to the one squeaking in the deranged production behind NCT 127's "Sticker," released about a year prior, for the Morning Musume song to echo some secondhand dissonance. Listening back, Ookubo's arrangement is nowhere as screwball, but on the other hand, it could use some loosening of screws: it remains steely to a fault, sucking away any potential dynamism, and a general stiffness dulls "Chu Chu Chu Bokura No Mirai" as a whole.

Behind an already-steely production, the idols' unaffected cool begins to sound monotonous than it does stoic. Their performance of cool in itself fits in tune to the narrative that deals with self-confidence and emotional clarity: "It's up to me," they sing in the opening refrain before they think openly about writing their own future. But other than few accents of extra bombast to prep for the chorus, the song hardly offers peaks and valleys, with moments of epiphany framed in the same serious tone as moments of questioning.

And there are genuine moments in "Chu Chu Chu Bokura No Mirai" that would add some humanity to a perfectionist idol group if only the song highlighted them as such. "We can't look into / 100 years into the future," the idols sing in the chorus. "We build the present / but who should we live for?" This humbling self-reflection arrives, too, after speaking as a role model: "You're going to grow up soon / a border made by someone else / you're already magnificent," they assure after describing a society mired by pressure. The song elevate neither parts, with one bleeding into the other.

To be fair, the ability to sing of both victories and tragedies as one juxtaposed stream of thought has been the magic behind the best Morning Musume songs. "Chu Chu Chu Bokura No Mirai" also mashes together two seemingly separate conversations with the idols aspiring to rise above society in the first verse and then indulging in vanity in the second, talking about wanting to be a billionaire and pursue on their own infatuation. But the randomness sounds too streamlined for it to stand out as a quirk, their stony cool delivering them all in the same tone. Morning Musume have impressed in the past with their stoic demeanor, but "Chu Chu Chu Bokura No Mirai" shows stoicness can also be a crutch.

[randoimago]

Hello! I like when families spend quality time together, so how about something like building sandcastles on the beach with Dojima (+Nanako), Sojiro (+Futaba) and Iwai (+Kaoru) with their s/o? Thank you.

Building Sandcastles Together

Fandom: Persona 4 // Persona 5

Character(s): Ryotaro Dojima, Sojiro Sakura, Munehisa Iwai

Featuring: Nanako Dojima, Futaba Sakura, Kaoru

Type of Request: Headcanons

Note(s): There's not enough happy family stuff so it's always nice to write more!!

Dojima

Absolutely loves the family bonding time. He doesn't get work off often so being able to do something fun with both you and Nanako is perfect for him. Even if he sucks at making sandcastles, it's still fun.

Probably just follows Nanako's lead with building the sandcastles. He's got good perception so he can find pretty shells for the castle and help out with making doorways or windows in the castle, but that's about all he's good for with making the sandcastle.

There's a lot of playful banter that happens. Dojima might intentionally say something wrong just to get you and Nanako to laugh at him. Or he'll playfully tease you about something since he's so relaxed which causes Nanako to smile at how happy her dad is. It's just very wholesome.

Sojiro

He's an old man and you want to go to the beach? Sojiro might make a comment about seeing cute girls there which Futaba is quick to tell you to "get him!" which causes laughter and banter to happen between you three.

Honestly, Sojiro doesn't help much with making the sandcastles because he's too busy happily watching you and Futaba make them. He had struggled with having hope for Futaba in the past and so he gets a bit teary eyed at how far she's come and how you're such a good parental figure for her too. You both tease him about being an emotional old man, but the emotions are felt by you two as well.

At some point the sandcastles become forgotten as Futaba points out seashells and crabs on the beach, chasing a couple in fascination while you and Sojiro warn her to be careful.

Bonus: Futaba mentions wanting to put a crab in the castle because the crab is a tyrant to the other crabs. Mentions something about sending the crab a calling card too. You and Sojiro don't quite get what she's talking about, but she's having fun.

Iwai

Iwai hates sand, but he'll go to a beach if you and Kaoru beg him enough. He does not want to even move from under the umbrella, but he reluctantly helps with the sandcastle building and finds that he enjoys it when he sees how happy you and Kaoru are.

Honestly pretty good with adding little details to the sandcastles. He owns a model gun store so paying attention to detail is his specialty. I don't know if he'd actually reach over to do something though, he'd mention something that you and Kaoru could do to improve the sandcastle, but it'd take him a bit before he actually starts getting in on messing with the castles himself.

If you end up taking photos of the sandcastle building, then you can bet that you'll get quite a few good ones of Iwai being soft and having gentle smiles towards you and Kaoru. He will absolutely frame one of the photos and put it in Untouchables.

[sakumasmut]

Kaoru with a mommy kink is so real. I want my fingers running through his hair while calling him a good boy for making me feel so good I need him whimpering while sucking on my tits until they're leaking, wiping the milk dripping from his chin i need his hands on me, my breasts specifically I need to feel him hard against my pussy barely holding back with puppy eyes waiting for permission. I want him pumping on me raw, going crazy with every praise and moan he hears, telling him that he can cum inside mommy, he deserves it for being such a sweet boy. I need him to breed me nonstop until his cum in dripping down my thighs. (My mind has been full of breeding and lactation kink lately. I need that nipple play from a pathetic man who enjoys praise...)

nonnie you’re in the right place this is breeding central. kaoru being reduced to such a pathetic whiny mess at your praise and being called a good boy that he begs for your permission to do anything. just looking at your for any signs of approval that he’s doing things right when he’s squeezing your tits or thrusting into you. and even tho he’s the one topping you’ll be the one giving him that sweet aftercare because he’s exhausted too, and you want to spoil your good boy for doing a job well done

What Should Have Been Expected

Part V

Note: I'm being kind of a meanie to Tobirama. I have a feeling that this is kind of just the beginning of things.

Warnings: A couple curse words.

Word Count: 1,852

VI

You hadn't seen your husband in three days. Initially, it had been a relief. You were embarrassed from dinner and you were sure he was too. But now, as you looked at the note he left for the fifth time that day, you were getting frustrated.

I will be in my office at the Hokage's Tower. I will not be home for dinner.

You knew he was going to be absent most of the time from the beginning, but you were wondering if now he was avoiding you. You considered bringing dinner to the office, but a little twist in your heart made you wonder if that would be overstepping your bounds.

You finished another row on your crocheted blanket. Mito had come over the morning after and apologized to you for her drunken prying. You had accepted her apology, and made breakfast for the both of you, since she had come over as soon as she had woken up.

You had spoken amicably over the next couple days, but you hadn't spoken of your husband or his behavior to anyone. You assumed it was best to leave it alone.

Another row finished and you picked up your second skein. Your fingers worked from muscle memory while you remained lost in your thoughts. You forced yourself to think of something positive, and remembered the letter you had received just that morning from your second youngest brother.

Your lips quirked up into a smile. Kaoru was secretly your favorite. He was the sweetest of the bunch, and had spent the whole letter going on and on about how he missed you, besides the last two lines, where he mentioned he would be accompanying some of your second branch clan members in their move to Konoha.

You were thrilled, to say the least. You had only wished he had mentioned when he would arrive. It would make you happy to host the fifteen year old. You were feeling kind of lonely, and you hoped his presence would abate it.

You sighed and looked out of your craft-room window. You had noticed that despite his lack of presence, Tobirama watered your garden each morning. It was a sign of hope that he wasn't actually avoiding you, and was in fact just a very busy man.

"Fuck it," you said aloud to yourself.

You put your crochet work on the floor beside your chair and made your way to the kitchen. You were going to bring Tobirama dinner whether he liked it or not.

After two hours of cooking, you finally wrapped up his dinner. You set it next to the door and quickly went to change out of your flour coated clothes before you lost your nerve.

At the door, you felt your anxiety spike, but you took a breath and pushed it down. You needed to know that he wasn't avoiding you.

/////

Tobirama had been avoiding you. It wasn't necessarily a conscious decision, but he had chosen to take on a greater workload after your dinner at Hashirama's.

He threw himself into his work at dawn, and came home well after the moon had risen. He had checked on you once he had gotten home, watching over your sleeping form momentarily before making his way to the guest bedroom. His cheeks were always heated afterwards. He felt like a pervert or something to walk in on you sleeping like that, but it didn't stop him.

He felt guilty about leaving you alone like he was. It was difficult for him to verbalize his feelings, and he didn't know how to talk to you about what happened. He just hoped his absence would somehow solve the problem; that you would just forget his actions.

There was a light knock on his office door. He nearly didn't hear it. He sighed audibly, setting down his document. He hoped it wasn't Hashirama coming to badger him about going home. He had gotten an earful enough when he had shown up to work after dinner.

"Come in,"

You entered slowly, and when he realized it was you he sucked in a breath. He felt his skin heat up, though he kept his face impassive.

"Y/n, what are you doing here?" His fingers twitched in his lap.

"I brought you dinner," you said hesitantly.

He cleared his throat. "Thank you,"

You didn't move. You studied him carefully, the food tucked to your chest. He felt his face burning, embarrassment seeping through him. He desperately hoped you would just set the food down and leave.

"I would like to speak to you. It will only take a second," you said, tone steely.

He made eye contact with you, and could have flinched at the amount of determination in them. "Proceed,"

"I hope that you're not avoiding me. I know that the other night was uncomfortable, but what happened happened," you pursed your lips.

"And-" you faltered. "-if you don't want to be intimate, that's okay. I won't fault you for it... but we are married, so please don't just leave me like that. You told me it was your duty to keep me safe,"

Tobirama looked at you with wide eyes. The wheels turned slowly in his head. "You believe I have no wish to be intimate with you?"

You approached his desk and plopped his dinner on top of a pile of papers. "It's not uncommon in marriages like ours," a tinge or bitterness laced your voice.

You were already at the door when he found his voice again and stood from his desk. "Wait,"

You exited and shut the door behind yourself without turning around. He stared at the door for some time in disbelief. Perhaps being absent was his worst decision yet.

/////

You hadn't meant to speak to him like that. You didn't want to sound bitter or make a scene, but your emotions got the best of you. You couldn't help but be happy about one thing, though. You knew by the look on his red face that he knew he had messed up.

You were ready to have dinner yourself by the time you were rounding the corner to your home. You were thinking so intently that you didn't even realize someone was perched on top of the gate until they yelled at you.

You snapped your head up at the sound. You gasped, and ran towards them as they hopped down and met you in the middle. Despite being only fifteen, your little brother picked you up and squeezed you tightly.

"Kaoru!"

He let you down and you patted his messy black hair. He grinned at you, his round eyes nearly swallowed by his cheeks. "Y/n, I've been waiting here forever! How are you gonna do that to your favorite brother?"

You swatted at his shoulder. "Hush, you know I don't have favorites,"

He laughed at that, following behind you as you opened the gate and let him through. He picked up a heavy looking pack and slung it over his shoulder.

"How long do you plan on staying?"

He shrugged. "At least a week, I think. I have to help Old Man Isamu with basically everything."

"I'm surprised the old grouch made the move." You commented, opening your front door.

"I thought it was only his son and his son's kids."

Kaoru took off his shoes and started wandering around, checking things out. "It smells good in here,"

"I just took my husband's dinner to him," you said offhandedly.

You moved to the cabinets. "You want me to make you a plate?"

"Uh, duh," he replied cheekily.

He stood next to you and just about snatched the plate from your hands after you put a large helping on it. You grabbed some chopsticks for him while he sat at the table.

"Uh," he started, but smiled gratefully when you handed him the utensils.

"You're the best,"

You made your own plate and sat down opposite him. He shoveled food in his mouth like a starving man, lacking all graces you knew he possessed.

"How are things at home?" You asked, poking at your plate.

"Pretty good. Mom's been meaner though; sulking half the time and bitching the other. I don't think she realized the consequences when she sent her favorite target away,"

You laughed. "She doesn't have much forethought, does she?"

He shook his head. He had nearly finished his plate already. "I'm glad I got to go. Kaito had to stay and do all the diplomatic stuff. I think he misses you, because he's been grouchy since you left."

You smiled softly. "And what about Ren and Dad?"

He rolled his eyes and huffed. "Ren talks about you all the time. He begged and begged to come with me. It makes Mom really mad when he starts up because it feels like it never ends. And Dad is just really stressed, I think. It's a big change not having you home,"

"When you get home, make sure to tell everyone I love them."

You smirked. "Even your mom, that'd really piss her off,"

He giggled. "No problem,"

He sat back and looked around. "How are things here? Your husband okay?"

"He's fine. Things here are fine. I'm just glad to have you here. Don't tell anyone I said this, but I missed you most,"

"Ha! I told you I was your favorite!" he pointed triumphantly at you.

You laughed at his antics, tossing your head back. You heard your front door open at that moment, and you snapped your head back to see Tobirama entering. Your brother turned as well, and stood up to greet him.

"Tobirama," you said.

"Y/n, this is?"

"Kaoru, sir," he interjected.

"My brother," you clarified, crossing your arms across your chest.

"Ah, yes, your family arrived today. Forgive me, it slipped my mind," his voice rumbled.

He stood awkwardly in the doorway for a moment while you both stared at him. He took his shoes off and set the tupperware on the kitchen counter.

"Let me show you where you'll be staying," you rose from your position and gestured for Kaoru to follow.

He silently followed you to the guest bedroom where he set down his pack. He eyed you questioningly, but your look told him to leave it. He shook his head lightly.

"The door across the hall is the bathroom," you stated.

You left him to his devices and went back into the kitchen. Tobirama had picked up the dishes from the table and was washing them. You approached him on his left, and leaned against the counter.

"You're home early,"

"I-" he breathed in deeply. "I wanted to apologize,"

You blinked, but relaxed your posture slightly. He continued. "It was wrong of me to leave that way, and to avoid conversation rather than just speak to you, I'm sorry,"

You eyed him for a moment. You sighed. "Thank you for apologizing. I suppose it's good timing, too, since you'll have to share a bed with me for the week,"

Tobirama stiffened, and you pushed yourself off the counter, and sauntered away.

I run a blog where I share paintings I like. For the past few months there’s been a certain type of grifter popping up in my feed using bots to share AI art with the name of a “painter” at the bottom. I’ve been slowly keeping track of these types and filtering them from my feed and I just thought I’d name and shame them here so you can do the same.

Fake painters spamming tumblr with fake paintings

kaoru yamada

jeff stanford

juan brufal

inge schuster

seji tomoda

thiemo tausendfarben

Pass this list on, help block their definitionally derivative “art” help me add any more of these to my list of names to filter

The problem I have with these isn’t even a philosophical one about wether or not AI images are art (although they aren’t) or an ethical one about how they are autogenerating the same image over to sell cheap prints to people who don’t know any better. (Although it is definitely unethical) My problem isn’t an economic one that they’re taking revenue away from working artists. (Although they definitely are and I hate that too.)

No, my problem is just a simple aesthetic one. Their art sucks and I hate seeing it. I like looking at paintings because the more I look the more I see. With a real painting you get a first impression after a split second and then look deeper, the painting directs your attention around the page, you notice background details, brush strokes, you can see the story the painter was trying to tell, guess at their mood as you see how every little detail adds up, the more you look the more you see the humanity.

With AI it’s the opposite. It’s all first glance. (And some of these are legitimately nice on the first glance) but then the closer you look the less human it gets. The faces are all the same. you can’t tell if it’s an oil painting or a print or a photograph. Clothing details become background details, background details look impossible. Hair strands move like some lovecraftian monstrosity. Instead of brush strokes and ink blots it resolves to little bacterial strands of randomly generated noise. It’s not just bad art, it’s the opposite of art, the closer you look the more alien it becomes.

I hate it just because every time I see one it’s one less real painting I get to see so I’m blocking them all and I’m blocking any blog I see them on.
