I'd love to get into girlpla, I'm just a bit too broke to afford any kits; however, if you'd like to talk about it as a whole, I'd be more than happy to hear.

So…let me try this again. I had a whole nice post written up and I swapped off for a moment to check something and I completely lost the post.

Mecha Musume has a pretty long history that I’m not going to go into but here’s a little video if you’re interested.

Now when most people think of Mecha Musume there’s basically one standout line above them all: Frame Arms Girl.

This line is a bit old now but its popularity has set the aesthetic style for the market as it stands now. The build of these are…ok. Kotobukiya was definitely learning with these kits but they’re still solid at the end of it.

Now if you’re like me you’re not too much a fan of the pantsu out look, and other kits in the line don’t exactly do anything to mitigate that feeling (looking at you Durga I).

The next line Koto would release would be better at this tho. The Megami Device line features all original designs as well as collabs from new and old mecha musume brands alike.

First thing off the bat this is that they’re pricey. At an average cost of $70 you’re basically buying a Bandai MG gunpla. That said, they all typically come with a bunch of option parts. These are usually in the form of unarmored limbs, different chest pieces, face plates (with water slides to make your own) and extra connectors to help with kitbashing. Koto also has released option body segments to let you swap any part of the body you might want to if the right option isn’t available in the box (~$12). It should be noted the newest kits in this line have brought the price down to $50 as well as reengineered the build to add a lot more articulation and pose-ability.

Also in this lines favor is the articulation and build quality. You’re going to get a nice range of motion with or without armor and some of the smaller details also sometimes come pre painted.

That said Kotobukiya is a company that favors more complex character design over an Out Of Box experience so there’s some smaller details that are etched into the kit but unless your paints them won’t be color correct. I would say this is pretty common across most Koto lines.

Both the FAgirls and Megami Device are scaled at 1/12 so Little Armory guns and the whole market of 3rd party accessories will work with these kits.

Next up is Koto’s Sousai Shoujo Teien which is simple girls as plastic models

A little cheaper and at 1/10 scale instead of 1/12. I’ve not built any but I do know they can bash with Megami Device and Hexa Gear lines just fine. If you take a peek at the JP girpla community there’s actually a niche but healthy group dedicated to taking nice photos of their kits dressed up in everyday scenarios.

Finally the newest line of Koto girl kits is the Arcanadea line.

Purely in a fantasy take these are Incredible kits. I’ve only built one (Lumitea) but it was far and away a much better build experience than the FAgirl kits. These are actually designed by a vtuber artist iirc which is why the designs are so different than other Koto kit lines. If you have the cash and want to try something different I would highly recommend.

Now finally we get to Bandai. After learning from their failures with the Hg Build Fighters girls they went back and designed something solid and what got me into mecha musume: 30 Minute Sisters

Right off the bat with an average price of around $30 the barrier to entry is much easier. While not as refined as the Megami Device line, these simple kits cram in a lot for the price. You’ll get an armored and unarmored form, as well as face plates. However the biggest selling point is How Damn Easy they are to bash. Being apart of the 30M line means they’re completely compatible with the 30MM line of mechs. Which also means all of those extra weapon and armor sets transfer over for the most part. And that’s not even talking about the dedicated 30MS option sets like hair parts, body parts, etc.

This is a Very beginner friendly line of kits and the place I would suggest most people starting if they’re looking to get into mecha musume.

This example I think uses about 5 different kits to build and I don’t believe any serious modifications were needed.

Another Bandai line to mention is the Standard Figurise line which you’ll be familiar with if you’ve picked up the Sulletta, Miorine or ChuChu kits. Typically pretty solid kits (uma musume excluded, only get the 30ms version of that one) they usually include characters from a variety of different shows. These are still of course bash-able but not without modification.

With the explosion of popularity with these kits means we have even more companies now joining in the race. ATK and MS General have a bunch of kits to offer and we see new companies pop up some really sick looking kits (see tgat Galahad)

We even have Plamax giving us the really cool looking GODZ ORDER kits and soon character kits from Blue Archive, Konosuba and others.

For these smaller/third party companies I would suggest doing plenty of research before buying one. The ATK kit that I made was Especially frustrating and required a lot of extra work to make parts fit right or to clean them up so they fit at all. Not to mention the extra detail work required to really make them look like the box example. Just do your homework.

I hope this helps!! It’s a growing market so there’s always more kits being announced. This should have covered the majority of kits out there but IMPORTANT! Check sites like AmiAmi for sales or resales on kits. You can sometimes find an unbuilt kit that retails at $70 going for $30.

USAGS will regularly get Koto kits in and new releases but by no means believe them when they say a kit is USAGS exclusive. Remember to check HLJ as well. Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll do my best to answer them!!

#whew #losing this the first time wasn’t fun #but I also really like my mecha musume #so #meh #thanks for the ask!#transfaust #mecha musume #girpla #megami device #frame arms girl #30 minutes sisters #30ms #sousai shoujo tried #arcanadea #atk girl #Ms general

Chapter 21.5

im still on hiatus but this was for funsies...a break away from byakuya's pov for a moment hehe

SEE HERE FOR GENERAL WARNINGS AND FIC SUMMARY

Some pre-chapter notes:

this is just like wizard of oz if the wizard was junko enoshima. pay no attention to the girl behind the monitors....

featuring a special surprise guest!! :) (:

@digitaldollsworld (^^)//

Content warning tags: passing mention of surgery and blood

< previous - from start - next >

“I am done.”

The voice behind her is dull and gravelly with lethargy, belonging to someone both young and aged. Junko Enoshima hadn’t heard the door open, but she’s hardly startled - she’d been expecting him, after all - and with a flourish, she leans back from the grid of monitors before her and shoves off the desk to spin her chair, knees tucked up to her chest. One, two, three clockwise spins later - a new record, nice - and she slows to a stop, angled perfectly to face the man before her.

And she smiles, as she notes the blue latex gloves still on his hands, the blood splattered up his arms to the rolled-up sleeves of his white dress shirt. “Aw, thanks Zuzu! You’re a treat,” She winks and blows an exaggerated kiss, to no reaction. Not even a half-raised hand to try and catch it. “Was it hard?”

Izuru Kamakura doesn’t respond at first. He’s wiping off the blood - still shiny and slightly wet - off of his pale arms with a stained handkerchief, his hair swaying like a dark curtain around him. “...Not particularly.” He replies in his usual monotone, as if the whole ordeal had been terribly boring to him. ‘Not particularly’ he said, as if the whole process hadn’t taken several weeks, with multiple surgeries - including one where he had left the operating table with his scrubs still on to find a better donor, because the one she had on hand just happened to not be a very good match. “If that is all, I will leave now.”

“Noo, come on! You just got here,” She complains, childishly, needling, despite knowing full well that he’d been here far longer than he originally intended already. Well, it wasn’t like he had anywhere else to be, and all the action was here anyways. “Don’t you wanna see how your precious juniors are doing?”

He doesn’t reply, but she knows he does. Otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered turning up in the first place, whether she requested his help or not; they’re just like each other, in that way. Reaching behind her, she grabs a remote, and points it at one of the monitors, and immediately its previous image of the empty second-floor hallway fizzes out, replaced with a replay of the day’s highlights, edited and cut by hers truly.

It opens with a theme song. A lovely little leitmotif that she composed, one for each of her dear classmates, this one full of violin and koto. A quick intro montage of photos they had taken throughout their high school careers, and then-

“No need.” He deadpans, interrupting the opening credits she’d bullied Ryota Mitarai into making. “I know what happened already.”

“Geez, but I made this special for you!” She whines, though there’s no real bite to it. She expected this outcome, so it wasn’t like she made her edits particularly interesting either. “Wish you’d play along a little. Come on.”

Instead of replying, he snaps off his gloves and flicks them and the towel into a nearby trash can without looking. He spins her chair to grab his jacket, pinned between her back and the seat, and tugs it so sharply it actually lifts her up a bit.

“Hey, that’s no way to treat a lady,” She sulks, tucking her skirt back down. “I was keeping it warm for you.”

Her only response is an impassioned glance, as he shakes the garment out with a sharp snap.

She watches him prepare to leave, rolling down his sleeves and smoothing out his shirt, pulling the jacket on with a practiced, mechanical grace. “Is it really that much better, being out there?” She grumbles. Outside was a wasteland, shattered remains, rot and destruction. The few people still alive were either on the edge of death, or insane with despair - either way, they’d fallen into a dull, predictable pattern. Starving, stealing, killing, dying, wailing. So much wailing. How strange it was that even these things became uninteresting after so long.

“They all behaved exactly how I expected.” He says, in an approximation for an explanation. He adjusts his cufflinks, thumb swiping over the polished brass. They’d been shaped like Hope’s Peak’s logo, but countless passing touches had nearly buffed out the enamel inlay - they were little more than tiny mirrors now, if she leaned forward and squinted she could almost see herself in them, check for stuff stuck in her teeth-

“Why did you not confront them after they discovered the AI?”

The question interrupts her train of thought, and she blinks, then grins, utterly delighted. “Why? Did I surprise you?”

He levels her with a look, a dark stare from those bloody, bloodshot eyes. “There are several reasons to possibly explain why you behaved this way.” He continues. “The most simple reason, you were distracted-”

“Nope. Glued to the cameras the whole time.”

“The most predictable reason, you wanted them to think they had a chance.”

“Hmm...mayy-be?” She pulls her legs up to sit criss-crossed in her chair, and rocks side to side, hands resting on her ankles as she thinks. “I mean, there are ten of them left. Would be a shame if they gave up already, right?”

“...And, based on your current interests. You thought it would make for a more interesting development. Especially in regards to Togami.”

She smiles, teeth splitting her face. “Congratulations, a hun-dred points to dear Mister Kamakura,” She sings in an exaggerated falsetto, and claps her hands in mock applause. “I was thinking about it, but then he and Kyoko went and had that absolutely lovely little heart-to-heart in the hallway…how could I possibly interrupt my dearest friends?”

He doesn’t say anything, but his eyes narrow slightly, the corners of his lips pulling into a thin line. A look that screams - or maybe just mutters, in his case - ‘what the hell are you talking about.’ “He smashed her hand in a door. She belittled him for his blindness.”

“Yeah, and? Don’t you know what foreplay is?” He doesn’t scoff, but the just-audible exhale he lets out is pretty close. “Oh, shush. Like you would know anything,” She sniffs. “But anyways, I definitely wasn’t expecting them to reach this stage already. I thought it’d take a few more years at least!” She lets loose a laugh, a sharp, bright sound that gets swallowed up by the dense, packed-foam soundproofing around them. “Letting them get away with Alter Ego was totally worth the show!”

He doesn’t look like he agrees, but then again, those old Hope’s Peak scientists hadn’t included ‘Ultimate Clear Emotion Conveying’ among his repertoire of talents, so maybe he was jumping for joy on the inside right now. “Togami’s blindness was an unexpected development,” He agrees. “But that is all. He hasn’t demonstrated any behavior that couldn’t be predicted.”

“You were pretty intrigued by him before though, weren’t you?” She’d had her suspicions from the start, when Byakuya’s first day after waking up was spent squinting and fidgeting with his glasses, but he couldn’t be called an Ultimate for nothing. If she didn’t know him as well as she did, she might’ve even been halfway fooled.

And the best developments were the ones that hadn’t been planned beforehand. Watching him walk away from the A/V room without even playing his motive disc was such a fun twist that had her raising her brows, even as Mukuro had gotten all pissy, after all the work that she had put into capturing that old butler alive. Even better than that was his breakdowns, when Junko watched him fall into a sinking spiral in his room, muttering to himself and pacing before finally passing out. The difference between his usual hoity-toity self and his total helplessness made for an absolutely delectable kind of gap moe.

“I have no interest in him. Rather, the source of his blindness is what intrigues me.” Izuru corrects her bluntly. “It is unclear what might have caused it. He never displayed symptoms of it prior to the game’s beginning.”

And if she had to be really honest, she wasn’t sure either. “Who knows?” She shrugs. “Spontaneous genetic condition? Maybe he’ll wake up tomorrow morning and be totally bald?”

“The Togami family is obsessed with genetics. Sudden cataract development, or anything of that nature, would have weeded out long ago.” He rebuts. His eyes, a deep, ugly, unnatural red that could make Celeste jealous, fix on her for a moment, and then travel up to look at the monitors, pupils shrinking like a cat’s as they dart from screen to shining screen. “Could it have something to do with the memory wipe?”

“No way!” She snaps back to him immediately, almost affronted. “My process is totally perfect. Do you know how many people I tested it on?” Sure, she’d had plenty of lab rats get seizures, comas, go crazy or just straight-up die, but none of them went blind. “If you don’t believe me, you wanna try it yourself?”

Now that was an idea. Maybe if she could induce an artificial amnesia in Izuru, and completely make him forget how he became this way - gosh, but that could be interesting. An Ultimate Hope who didn’t know what his purpose was? Or, better yet, a Hajime Hinata who didn’t know what he really was?

She could almost drool over the idea of it. Seeing the man, the boy in front of her, twisted, despairing, and utterly ruined - how thrilling would that be?

“Do it to yourself.” Izuru replies sullenly, shattering her daydream in an instant, and she pouts. Spoilsport.

They fall into a comfortable sort of quiet for a moment, as Junko turns back to the screens. Without her sister around, she had to take the role of surveillance onto herself, and that was a 24/7 ordeal. But at least it was something to do, she supposed.

Byakuya was making his way to his room from the cafeteria, apparently completely oblivious to how Toko was stalking him from a few meters behind. Hina and Sakura were working off their post-trial grief through vigorous physical activity - swimming, because of course it would be - Celeste was being comforted by Hifumi, and Hiro was chasing after Mondo, who apparently had given up on trying to eat anything and was now meandering aimlessly through the halls, the dead look on his face evident even through some of the grainier footage. Makoto was wandering, probably trying to repair his broken heart by distracting himself with some good old-fashioned adventuring, or maybe Kyoko.

Waaaait a minute. She frowns suddenly, leaning in closer to scan each of the monitors in quick succession, starting from the camera feeds of the third floor, and working down. Wait a damn minute. There was a suspicious lack of pale, skulking figures in her peripherals - just where was her darling detective?

She feels a little thrill of a delicious dread run up her spine. She went through all this trouble to give Kyoko a full wipe - to clean out every last memory that might give the detective a clue to her own identity - and yet here she was, managing to crawl under Junko’s skin like a centipede, a stubborn parasite. There were only so many unsupervised places that Miss Headmaster’s Daughter could be hiding, and Junko couldn’t help the grin spreading across her face; she could always count on Kyoko to make things interesting.

“Hey, Zuzu. You wanna make a bet?” She hums to Izuru. No Kyoko, but Makoto’s pointed cowlick was coming into view on one of the stairway cameras leading into the second floor, soon accompanied by the rest of him.

“On what?”

“Oh, anything. Which one of them will die next. If one of them will snap and start trying to kill the rest of them…” She rewinds through the camera recordings of the last hour, speeding through the frames until they’re all mere blurs of color and light. Her eyes dart, and spy the pale, round shape of Kyoko’s head, as she walks into the dark entryway of the second-floor boy’s bathroom, not even half-an-hour ago. “If they manage to figure out the details of Togami’s blindness.”

Another bet. Another meaningless wager on top of the hundreds, thousands, millions of other ones that she’s made and won, but this one might actually surprise her for once. She hopes it will.

“How pointless.” He sighs. But despite that, he hasn’t turned to leave yet. And actually, the fact that he responded at all meant that he was, even just a little bit, curious. “What would we wager? We have nothing of value, and nothing we value enough.” “Hmm, true…and it’s not like we care about either of our lives either.” She fast-forwards the cameras, and watches as Makoto looks left and right, nervous eyes casting up and down the hallway, before he enters the second floor boy’s bathroom. She needs to get moving now, if she was going to make sure her darling detective didn’t go and ruin the game too early, and she shoves aside some empty snack wrappers, the pieces of an unfinished puzzle, a book so dog-eared and worn it was on the brink of disintegrating, and Monokuma’s controller to grab the authentic luchador mask that was hanging off the edge of the table. “We got all the time we need to figure that out, after all. So in the meantime, how about you stick around and see how it goes?"

Hey everyone! Here is my submission for the Dan and Phil Phasquerade Tumblr Event! First off, as a surprise, I made not one, but TWO songs for the event!

youtube

The first one is the main theme song for the event as requested by @wdapteo! 生き甲斐 (Ikigai)! It’s not fully orchestral but I put a bit of strings and horns in there, so I guess it counts lol! I decided to go with a theme that was mainly based around guitars and synths. I also put in a few Asian instruments such as the koto to represent their trips to Japan. The title “Ikigai” is a Japanese concept that refers to one’s sense of purpose or reason to live and is a combination of the words “iki”(to live) and “gai” (reason). This concept can include people such as friends, families, and partners, as well as activities such as one’s hobby or pastime. It basically means that one can find joy in their life by being aligned with their purpose. I thought this concept would be perfect for the phasquerade because Dan and Phil’s ikigai or reason to live is each other. 🥰

As for the background image, I found a picture on Adobe Stock Photos of two masquerade masks that looked PERFECT for Dan and Phil. (The black one is Dan’s and the white one is Phil’s, obviously, lol 😂) Phanartists, feel free to use those masks in ur art! 👌🏻

The second song I made is an orchestral ballroom version of JVKE’s Golden Hour! It took me around two days to do, along with constant listening to the song to get the chords right and then add my own bits on top of it 😂 I’m really proud of this version because lemme tell ya, making orchestral music on Garageband IOS is harder than it looks 😭😅 I still can’t believe how far I’ve gone with making music on this app bc I started using it in 2018 and back then, I had a hard time navigating everything but I slowly worked my way up to where I am now, and tbh I still have far more to go! The background image I used for this is another stock image I found on Pexels that fit the vibe of the song! (Also the two men in the picture looked like Dan and Phil haha 😂)

Anyways, here's a little introduction of me: I’m Kristy, aka @nothoughtsonlytrance. My pronouns are she/they and I am pansexual! (Fun fact, I found out I was pan around the same time that Dan and Phil came out in 2019 lol) I’ve been watching Dan and Phil since around 2012/2013 (so when I was around 12 or 13 years old) because that was the time when I really started watching YouTube and eventually found their channels. I vividly remember watching the Photobooth Challenge video and crying with laughter because it was so hilarious. I continued to look forward to seeing their videos after school and finally got to see them on stage in 2018 for their Interactive Introverts tour when they came to Richmond, VA. (didn’t get VIP tickets for the meet and greet tho so I still have yet to meet them in person 😭🤞) It continues to be one of my favorite memories of them and I remember crying when seeing them on stage. Their videos mean so much to me and I even made my quote for my college graduation cap “Embrace the void and have the courage to exist” because their videos got me through the last two semesters of college!😎👌🏻(Which got noticed by Dan and Phil in their Phan Twitter Memes 2 video!) Words cannot express how proud I am of them, especially after their coming out videos and how they feel more free to be themselves! And I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them! (And also us haha)

I think the song that will be playing when I take the stage is “Once Upon a December” from the musical Anastasia! It is one of my favorite musicals and I even got to see it in NYC with my family a few years back! Also, as someone who was adopted from Russia, this song really speaks to me personally. I don’t speak Russian fluently, only a few basic words and phrases that my parents taught me that they learned when they were adopting me, (I only speak English) but I’ve been trying to learn the lyrics to the Russian version of the song so I can sing along with it too. (Pronouncing Russian isn’t easy haha)

Anyways, here’s my post for the phasquerade! Hope you all enjoy the music! I had so much fun being a part of this and thank you so much to @serendipnpipity for planning and organizing this!

Wip again!

——

“Wahts thaat?” Ann speaks, muffled from the crepe she was eating but Makoto can still hear her curiosity.

She’s talking about the small wine red diary in her hands. It’s worn out but it had been a good listener when she had used it.

God she can easily remember giggling like a school girl at her flowery language whenever she had something fun to write about.

“My old dairy, from my last year at university.” Is her swift reply.

Her blonde companion lets out a laugh, nearly choking on her crepe, Makoto joins in.

The two of them had been clearing out her old apartment, moving into a new one soon had caused a wave of nostalgia to come over her.

Which had led up to this point and after digging through some of her old photo albums and diaries, Makoto had found the one that meant the most to her.

“Can I look? Or is it too personal and how come you kept a diary?”

The brunette smiles at Ann’s enthusiasm and follows it up with a head shake, it’s her way of saying “go crazy.”

“Ehh, I got bored of studying and decided to write more stuff I guess.”

So she waits, Makoto continues to clean and sort all of her belongings out. Hearing the blonde at the table oh and ahh at certain bits of her 22 year old self’s writing.

“Jeez koto, you really had a lot of fun!” A pause, her friend isn’t making an effort to communicate anymore. “OH MY GOD YOU DATED RYUJI?!” Annnd there it is.

Makoto’s tongue darts out of her mouth, she’s turning around to face Ann with butterflies in her stomach.

“Oh. I forgot it was that year, we’d met up over summer and decided to just keep each other company.”

God how is her voice so calm.

“KEEP EACH OTHER COMPANY?! You never told meeee! I feel betrayed koto.”

Oh god.

———-

I love you makoann friendship (I love you wingwoman ann)

Ai Iijima

Born in Kameido, Koto, Tokyo, in 1972, Ai dropped out of high school after her the shock of her grandfather dying, whom she was very close to. After initially shoplifting to make ends meet, she began her career in the Japanese AV (adult video) industry, appearing in 26 videos and eight nude photo books between 1992 and 1993. During this time she appeared as a regular cast member on the notorious late night adult variety show Gilgamesh Night. While she was initially marketed as a raven haired beauty, Ai changed her looks completely to dyed brunette hair and tanned skin. This lead her to leaving the AV industry and to crossing over to the mainstream with Ai starring in commercials, a short music career with five singles and an album and even a manga co-authored by her. A popular figure on TV variety and panel shows during the 1990's through to the 2000's, she became involved in campaigns to educate the public about HIV/AIDS, a cause that few Japanese celebrities were willing to undertake. She released her best selling biography Platonic Sex in 2000, which detailed the struggles she had during her life and career. She announced her retirement from show business in March 2007. Tragically she died alone in her apartment from pneumonia in December 2008.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. I'M GONNA FUCK OVER EVERYONE HERE. *casts paralysis on class 78 for a few seconds* *shows Junko the NSFW Christmas artwork*

Oh...Oh...! OOHOHOOHOHAAHAHA! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! You girls are SOMETHING ELSE!

*She tosses the photo to Makoto.

Keep that photo, Koto! It'll make for good jerk-off material.

Why would I need the photo? I have the real girls here with me. A photo only gives me half the happiness they can bring.

...!?

Ah-No! Wait, that sounds-!? S-Sorry! I wasn't trying to imply anything!

GOD I missed you...

More Akechi twins 15 years later. And. Other stuff

Thinking about the 15 years later outfits for the twins

Makoto, looking much softer and happier in a big crewneck sweater, with the logo for the diner on the front over their heart. Dark casual pants, big enough that they bunch up just a little, and they still stand around with their hands in their pockets. A light blue watch, wedding band a sparkling silver, and no more cap. They have no reason to hide anymore

Goro, free for the first time in years, has to wear Makoto's clothes for the first day until they can go shopping for him. And, he ends up following their lead this time. A softer collared shirt, black, under a tan crew neck sweater, sleeves rolled up. Black watch, a fancy one that tracks heart rate. More form fitting slacks, corduroy maybe? Yeah, hell yeah, corduroy black slacks. He goes for simple, plain black socks. Makoto wears fun ones that their kids picked out

Goro's hair is long enough that it usually goes up in a little ponytail. He starts this when he's in the facility cause it was bothering him. Makoto smiled when they saw it at their monthly visitation. "You look softer like that. More like my brother, less like a Prince."

"...I'll keep it up, then. You have to dress for the job you want, right, Koto?"

There's still an inn in Inaba, with a hot spring. Spending their birthday there is the first time Goro sees Makoto's surgery scars. "Hey. You actually did it,"

"Mm, didn't I tell you?" Makoto runs a hand down their front, patting their toned tum. "Best decision I ever made."

"Well, now we match in that regard. Flat siblings." Goro is more thin than muscle, not unhealthly so, but. Makoto is notably toned. "Let's head into the springs, your friends are waiting to wish us a another good year."

"...first, Brother promise." They haven't done one of these since Makoto thought they were just a trans guy. They were only 16 then. "Let's spend this next year together, okay?"

"Got it."

Haru has one photo she'll hold dear forever. It's Makoto and Goro, asleep on the couch, heads leaned together, a documentary on money laundering playing still. On their laps? Nonoka and Keima. Nonoka sitting on her uncle, drooling onto her brother's head. Keima is curled into his Papa, little face tucked into their sweater

Haru: hey, love, wake up

Makoto: hhmmoh? Haru? What time is it?

Haru: time to take the little ones to bed. I've got Nonoka, can you take Keima?

Makoto glances down, and smiles softly at their son sleeping against them

Makoto: yeah. I'll, wake Goro afterwards. Make sure he gets to bed too

Haru: mm, how considerate of you. Don't take too long, I want to spend time with you, okay? Maybe a bath?

Makoto: mm, as long as I get to pamper you silly, baby. Kiss?

Haru: kiss

They share a soft one, each with a slumbering five-year- old in their arms

Goro: ugh, thanks. My neck would've been killer stiff,

Makoto: I know, mine too. Sleep well

Goro: don't stay up too late boning your wife, Koto

Makoto: yeah yeah, go be a lonely grump or whatever. Night

Goro: night

Makoto is still silly affectionate. It hasn't tamped down at all, it may have even gotten stronger? They're constantly trying to touch Haru even a little, giving tons of hugs, little kisses, leaning their heads together, swinging her around

Makoto always makes sure they're strong enough to carry their wife. It's what Haru deserves, they claim

When the twins were newborns, Makoto kept rushing out of bed at the slightest whimper or cry so Haru could sleep longer. They'd heat up a bottle while swaying around the kitchen, humming softly to whichever twin had woken up hungry. They'd change them without a word, kissing their little heads once they'd put them back into the cribs in the nursery

Makoto: i love being a parent. Being able to show so much love to someone, to feel so much love? It's amazing. It sucks sometimes, sure, but I'd rather be here than where I was before. At your side, with our kids, this is where I belong

And Haru just bursts into tears, still a little off from hormones, and she tugs them into a big hug, smiling into their shoulder as they pepper kisses to her hair

Keima and Nonoka both have warm red eyes, Keima has a tiny, tiny dash of freckles. Their hair isn't as textured as Haru's, but it's wavy, and that bright auburn/bright pinkish brown. But they have Makoto's nose, and Nonoka has their eye shape, and both have their smart mind. Only, they use it for chaos

And of course we know Hirohide is a mini Makoto, with his little pout, but he's warm, and heavily curious. He loves learning new things, will sit all excited on his Papa's lap for a doc without needing to be sleepy, like his older siblings

All three get early screening for the mental illnesses that ran in their family. Goro is relieved when none of them have BPD or Schizophrenia like him, or bipolar like Goro and Makoto's father apparently had. He would've felt horribly guilty if they had to deal with what he has

Both are why he was put into mental care rather than prison. With his meds and counselling, he's much more tame

Keima and Nonoka don't show any concerning signs, but little Hirohide gets early support for what appears to be ADHD

Haru is also happy her kids won't suffer so much. She remembers the struggle of getting Makoto settled after the very late diagnosis of their later stuff. She's happy they caught Hirohide so young,

Makoto is just, so glad they're all happy kids. They wanted nothing more than that

Goro: so, no meds for your Mini Me yet, right?

Makoto: exactly. We'll see how he develops before making decisions with his doctor. I hope we can get him to 10 before we have to worry about meds with him

Goro: he'd soldier through. He wants to be just like you, anyways. You'd just have to say you take 'em too, and he'd jump to take em

Makoto: true, Haru absolutely adores that part of him. She was a little sad the twins don't look that much like me, y'know

Goro: it's cause she loves you, dumbass.

Makoto: yeah, she loves me,

Goro: bleh,

Makoto and Haru each having an apron. Haru's is a light purple, Makoto's is bright blue.

Haru, when they were first living together for school, slowly teaching Makoto to cook. Makoto standing behind Haru, hugging her waist as she stirs something, softly explaining when to stir, how long it takes, and Makoto listens so attentively. But, their hands are softly running over her tum, and sides, or they're nuzzling into her neck, all affectionate

Haru: are you listening?

Makoto: *parrots back everything she said, hugging her tighter*

Haru: mm, good job.

Makoto: good enough for a kiss?

Haru: *turns off the stove, spins around to kiss them, slow and deep and just-*

Makoto: wow,

Haru: alright, it's done, Love. Ready to eat?

Makoto: ***wow***

Haru: what do I use for you when I wanna say something like good boy, or good girl?

Makoto:

Haru: Mako?

Makoto: sorry, felt really gay for a moment. Uhm. How about just, "Very good"?

Haru: hmmm, that can work. Very good, Mako~

Makoto: *gayass eyes*

Haru: it's like living with a big puppy. Makoto's so touchy these days, it's so different than when we met

Ann: ...are you, complaining?

Haru: NEVER

So, during the 15 years later, theyre both running the diner. They have some staff, like a local college kid they met through Akira (Shinya), a few front end workers, and a few cooks for when they take days to be a family and shit. They've stepped back more, doing weekdays only during school hours

Only, since Hirohide isnt school age yet, sometimes one of them is home. He gets watched by Sojiro most days, along with the RyuAki baby

But two days a week, each parent is off to spend time with him

Cause I've decided Shiho and Ann have their daughter from Queers, Mifuka, the little hurricane

And there's two kids for Ryuji and Akira. An older daughter, baby boy

Daughter would be the age of the twins, for friendship. Mifuka is two years older, so 7

Daughter is Hikari Sakamoto, And baby Kota Sakamoto

Nonoka, Keima, and Hikari all walk to school together. Mifuka would as well, but she's always running ahead. Everything's too slow for her

Goro: you can cook now?

Makoto: yeah, Haru taught me. I prefer cooking with her, but cooking for her? Amazing

Goro: ...oh my god, you're a simp

Makoto: have you seen my wife? Of course I am

Makoto sometimes wakes up, and goes to roll over to hold Haru and finds Hirohide already there. And they just smile, and sandwich their son between his parents, kissing at Haru's sleeping face

Haru: hng?

Makoto: sorry, baby. Just, love you

Haru: mmm,

She tries to nuzzle closer, subconsciously holding Hirohide closer too

When Makoto went to help pack up Goro's room at the facility he was in, they paused at the little wall of photos. He'd kept the sonograms they'd give him of the twins, then of Hiro. And, in neat rows, the yearly photos of the kids. It makes them tear up. Especially when they see he used the plastic frame the facility provided for Makoto and Haru's wedding photo

Goro: hm? Don't cry, dumbass. It's the only stuff I had to look at when I was on lock down. Don't get the wrong idea

Makoto: sure, sure. You totally don't care about me, or seeing my family. I could just leave you here-

Goro: ugh, fine, prick. Let's go meet my nephews and niece, okay? And see the Fluffy one.

Makoto: yeah,

Hirohide: you look like Papa

Goro: your Papa and I are twins

Hirohide: tweens,

Goro: twins, say it like this, *says it super slow*

Hirohide: ...tweens,

Goro: close enough. We're like your big sister and big brother

Hirohide: Woah,

Hirohide: MAMA! UNCLE GOWO IS PAPA'S TWEEN

Makoto pats Goro's shoulder with a laugh. "He's still learning how to talk, don't be too hard on him, okay?"

"...you used to say my name that way. He really is a mini you,"

Haru, laughing openly, takes little Hiro from Goro's lap, rubbing her nose against her son's. He giggles, puts his hands to her mouth, so she does the raspberries, and just

Makoto tilts their head and smiles so lovingly. Goro pats their shoulder this time

Makoto moves around the living room to kiss his head, and Hiro giggles more when his parents share a little kiss

Haru smiles up at their partner one last time, and swoops away with Hiro to put him in the play room for a little bit so she can help Makoto with Goro's things

Goro: where are the other two?

Makoto: it's a school day, they're at school. They walk together with a, friend. You'll know when they're home, trust me

Goro: you let them walk on they're own? Makoto, they're-

Makoto: they're five, and this is how it's done in Inaba. There haven't been any incidents in years, Goro. They're fine

Goro: ...I'm sorry,

Makoto: you're worried, I get it. But, remember who you're talking to. We think in similar ways, my Brother.

And, he can tell them when they get home. The door opens with a bang, before two loud apologies follow

Haru: you're lucky your brother wasn't napping, my little monsters.

Keima: we're sorry Mama!

Nonoka: is he here?

Makoto: shoes off, bags on the hooks. Your uncle doesn't come before your routines, you two

Keima, wiggling out of his jacket: sorry Papa!

Nonoka, running into them for a hug: Papa, I'm sorry

Haru: alright, go wash your hands. Then, uncle Goro time

Makoto gives each a little hair tousle, and each hug Haru before going off too. Haru sighs fondly, and leans into her partner's side.

"Couple of goofs we've raised, huh?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

Like. Sad, awkward teen Makoto, with their cap tucked low, hands twisting all nervous as they sit beside Haru, vs this. Older, adult Makoto, smiling so openly, so eager to show affection, so, just, open

Even just, the side by side of the twins. The old Detective Princes posters, of Goro with that fake smile and an inquisitive pose, and Makoto frowning, hands in pockets, all closed off

To them now, sitting on the same couch while watching some doc, talking about it in friendly tones, Makoto more relaxed in their seat, smiling. Goro with his arms crossed, leaning back, watching intensely

Haru takes a while to warm up to having Goro around. She never went to his visitations, just let Makoto have their time with him. So, she's wary he might do something to turn her lovely, happy Makoto back into their repressed teen self

She loses this way of thinking slowly. She even talks to him about it, and they bond over the big thing they have in common; caring for Makoto

Note about Hikari and Kota;

Hikari is Ryuji's bio daughter. They had a surrogate, the same one, for both kids. Kota is Akira's bio son

So Hikari has this dark brown hair, real dark, and Ryuji's big grin. Kota's only a baby, so he's only got tiny little black curls, and his Dad's grey eyes

Ryuji walks around with a baby Bjorn at all times, he loves being a dad. Plays with Kota so much. He runs around and plays Horse or Heroes with Hikari too, so it's rare that what he's wearing is completely cleab

He and Makoto spent a lot of time bonding over that when the twins and Hikari were babies. Play dates would have three babies babbling on the floor, and the two parents sharing photos, stories, and just enjoying being parents

Akira: damn, this is the hottest he's ever been to me

Haru: mm, I know, right? It's so hard not to just, pull Makoto into our room all the time. This has to be some weird biological thing, right?

Akira: or we're horny bastards

Haru: mm. Yeah, probably that

Makoto: I'm glad we're friends

Ryuji: yeah, besides Ann and 'Kira, you're like, my best friend

Makoto: mm. Beside Yusuke and Haru, you're my best friend too
