#kuya the tengu

[rhodolitequeen]

Mornin' Sunshine 😉

As his Onmyoji I feel it's important to be there for him at anytime of day...I mean, you never know when you might need an emergency...um, nap. 😏

[crowned-peony]

Kyonosuke, I just met you and you give me the ick. I don't trust you or anyone in the military

[lexmista]

Kuya, 180 cm, 24 y.o.

Ayakashi: Romance Reborn

N, R and SR card design

ayakashi is a gatcha otome game about cute anime boys that you can date. obviously, i ate that shit up 😌

ayakashi is about a girl, yokais in human form, bad spirits set in meiji or taisho period

the game doesn't update anymore, but it has all the stories fully released, and you can play it for the story, not for the gatcha :>

anyways, kuya is a silly one, i didn't think i would like him at first. he is lazy, not very talkative, prefers not to be involved, and sleeps a lot. honestly, me irl

but his story unexpectedly caught my heart!

(screenshots from ayakashi: romance reborn)

how can i ever compete with these godly designs holy smokes

i turned kuyas existing earing into a purple gem

and his counterpart is.. kuya haha, that one was easy

like all other yokai, he was born in nc world, having bits and pieces of his memories from past life. kuya is tengu yokai, which is more mythical than normal animal (in nc all yokais were animals at their birth). it complicates things just a little, but there is some mythical creatures in nc, so i say it doesn't matter that much.

kuya lives in wood territory, too, but closer to the border with light territory. he enjoys human-made cuisines, and likes reading books. so he often visits villages and cities nearby.

[shonenkun309]

Koga and Futaba were preparing for a soiree, a social event where they would mingle with other nobles in their western, fancy attire.

Koga and Futaba, both dressed to impress, were hesitant to leave their only daughter, Momoka, at home with her lazy tengu uncle, Kuya. But with no other choice, they knew they had to trust him to take care of their precious daughter. As they made their way out the door, Kuya could be seen yawning lazily from the veranda.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure to be back early," Koga assured his daughter, patting her head playfully.

With a proud stance, Momoka declared, "I can take care of myself, you two don't have to worry about me."

Futaba, being the responsible and overprotective mother, couldn't resist giving Momoka a list of instructions before they left. "Remember, if you need help, you can always ask Uncle Kuya or Uncle Nachi, or even Grandpa Mototaka."

Rolling her eyes, Momoka pushed her parents outside. "You two are gonna be late for your fancy evening meeting," she teased, causing Koga to chuckle.

"Actually, it's called a soirée, Momo," he corrected her, amused by her attitude. Momoka simply shrugged and replied, "Whatever."

As her parents made their way down the street, Momoka turned to her uncle with a mischievous smirk, resembling her father's. "Looks like it's just you and me, Uncle Kuya. Let's have some fun!"

Kuya sighed tiredly, knowing all too well the mischievous nature of his brother's daughter. "Oh boy, this is going to be interesting," he thought to himself.

Twilight and Dawn Factions as Teachers: Alternate School!AU

@bitchyings

Gaku 

Your data science professor at University!

Ah, the pain-in-the-ass but conducting one of the booming fields. 

He specifically deals with Artificial Intelligence and the associated machinery with inputs he has to key in after analysing.

Because he somehow can never stay far away from the mechanics and circuitry.

Dumps you with the most amount of homework that honestly makes you challenge him to finish those endless lines in Python.

Not only does he manage to do so, but he also shows you the Java version. 

And ultimately increases your workload.

Good job.

Your code is NEVER clean enough, will scream at all the indentations especially if you foolish say it doesn’t matter.

Spoiler Alert: IT DOES.

Koga Kitamikado  

Your Linguistics Professor at University!

Look, let me explain why someone else is teaching business despite him being officially a very successful entrepreneur. 

He is officially a polyglot in the game.

Plus, he just HAS to stretch himself everywhere. He has also seen the world at quite a young age. 

Loves that he can break down language barriers and strengthen ties with people new to the area.

You guys go out so much to random areas of the city that you wonder if it can technically qualify as a lesson still. 

It’s only as you force yourself to converse with different people of various nationalities in the neighbourhood that you find out it’s a practical exercise. 

Sometimes has joint classes with either Toichiro and Shizuki should the topic be a bit more niche and he finds it more suitable for either of their departments.

Arguably the most hard-working teacher and you swear he lives in the school. 

FYI: He does. It’s at the back of the library. Only Kuya knows and sometimes they bunk together... if Kuya actually ever moves. 

Toichiro Yuri 

Your Business professor at University!

FYI: I didn’t even take Economics so I have no idea if this is accurate.

His classes are specially curated to deal with every sort of business. 

Doesn’t give a damn if you are some rich person’s child taking this course just to take over the company. 

He really doesn’t want his class to be the one loathed just because you didn’t get to follow your true dreams.

Mostly roasts you and somehow remembers all his students based on his roasts.

Yet, strangely, you find that your class is the top of the whole faculty?

Somehow, you remember being so indignant about him nitpicking your research paper that you just churn out some of the mocking words that now upon closer inspection were critical keywords.

100% believes in his students and will always stay back... just prepare a whole lounge area with fancy dishes so that his back doesn’t break.

It’s ok if yours does from the textbooks conveniently placed in the class... wait, you can just take it and return it? Who the heck even placed it? For some reason, Toichiro refuses to answer that question.

Shizuki 

Your drama teacher at University!

Look, he may avoid the Entertainment District but this guy knows the beauty of the stage. 

Even if it looks like he can’t emote. 

Not that you really need to when you are just helping budding actors.

Will help you overcome anything you felt that could have impeded your progress on stage.

Even if speech/language therapy is needed or you have problems moving easily on the set.

Sometimes, people just come in randomly just to enjoy these free perks which always grates his nerves to no end.

But he strangely keeps quiet, especially if he sees them helping others. 

He only kicks out those who aren’t genuine and just messing around because he doesn’t others to be disturbed when they actually need help.

Toichiro loves sneaking in backstage to steal whatever props he and Aoi had worked hard on but poor Shizuki can’t really do much about it.

Kuya

Your Literature teacher at University! 

Specifically Japanese because despite being friends with a Linguistic Professor, he cannot be bothered to learn a word of English. 

“I can’t even leave this school, why should I leave Japan and go to another school but for English?”

You actually get to see his writing!

... As correction sheets to your actual readings. 

This ‘spot the difference’ game is getting incredibly harder.

You are always allowed to take a nap WHEN HE takes a nap. 

Sometimes, he falls asleep when bending over to check out whatever problem you are doing.

Pretty lax about everything EXCEPT bullying. 

In fact, this is the only thing that will get him riled up. And the first time you actually hear him analysing anything and breaking it down. Don’t piss him off and you’re good.

Aoi

Your Art teacher in High School/Elementary School!

He technically is a trainee so he still helps out in the neighbouring primary school. Ironically super soft there, as if he has raised them and honestly? You think he has.

Sometimes accidentally confuses the materials meant for the younger ones with those for your class. 

Refuses to admit his mistake and insist that you MUST understand the importance of finger painting. 

Somehow makes it look good though. Like you kind of wonder why you didn’t achieve this at kindergarten when he makes it so easy.

Try not to die during his lectures on abstract art, representational artists and of course, Kosenga. 

It’s a bit harder to do so in modern times but as you mix traditional Ukiyo-e with Western art’s use of perspective, he hopes you guys can at least capture exactly what you see unlike him.

It’s actually heartening how he campaigns for the subject to go beyond a cultural club in your institute.

Sometimes bumps into Koga during the urban sketching classes. 

When one of Koga’s students accidentally addressed him in English as a female, he lost it.

Ginnojo

Your History teacher in High School!

He likes to relate whatever era you are on to the modern times because he knows you guys are the change.

Sweetie pie brings in some objects related to whatever topic you guys are on and lets the one who has shown the best improvement to bring it home. 

Even that small fragment of the Berlin Wall... although you are pretty sure he might have been tricked into buying a fake one.

All of his classes end up turning into a huge debate about the sides engaged in the event. 

Never backs down from his opinion until you have offered a convincing argument. And he expects to see the same attitude in your essays.

Sometimes freaks out if you are a girl and touching him because he used to teach in an All-Boys school before moving to this co-ed one.

Please don’t make him the one who checks uniform. He can’t even look you in the eye.

You can occasionally catch him with Kuro at the gym, specifically just opposite the Gymnastic Hall where the swimming pool is. Wished he was your swimming coach because damn, he’s shredding some ripples.

Yura

Your Music teacher in High School!

Additionally the nurse sometimes.

He kind of has to be because his music is so heavenly that it makes people faint. 

Particularly the girls, hmm...

Honestly, how he tolerates the worst music players with a smile of his face gets him the ‘Most Popular’ teacher award.

The only time you’ve seen him pissed is if you diss the flute... for a $17 green recorder. 

Until he sees Lin-Manuel playing it. 

Then he doesn’t stop and you are doomed, good sir. 

The few times his twin walks into his class is when the ultimate cross-over event happens. Somebody actually recorded it and it received 1020 views... in a few minutes.

Always forces everyone from the university to not be dead and have tea at the admittedly cramped Home Economics Room.

Kuro 

Your Gym teacher at High School! Specifically gymnastics!

Vietnam War flashbacks.

Somehow sneaks into either Gin-Gin’s class or Koga’s lecture.

And of course, hugs every teacher he sees. Even those outside of the high school. 

He doesn’t tackle any of his students though because we all have seen the news. 

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t offer a warm hug AND only if you want to cry on his shoulder over the stress of school.

Sometimes does random challenges and gets everyone to try, even if you have the stiffest body possible. 

Always willing to play any playlist in the background, even the ones full of memes. 

Is actually pretty serious about safety checks, especially for those who actually plan to be in the sports field much later. 

Advocates for healthy eating habits then devours Oji’s extra rich omurice all in one breath.

Oji  

Your Home Economics teacher at High School!

See ladies? He does some economics that makes him rich and... yeah, who the heck is he kidding?

... This man somehow teaches you the 9183 ways to cook omurice...

... And omurice alone. 

For some reason, Aoi is in charge of the whole cleaning process, organizing cooking equipment and OTHER dishes when the superintendent is walking by to check on the class. 

Even mistakes Aoi to be the main teacher.

But he does something pretty sweet. For special occasions, he always focuses the lesson to be about treats especially fitting for the event.

Even those that are not common like say you want to celebrate your cat’s wedding? 

Nachi Saotome, you better tell me who this tabby is. Lest I shove this meat cake with sardines down your throat. 

Somehow manages to help those with a dietary requirement, like getting halal meat, dairy-free products or meat-free. Will never insensitively question you.

DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

[shonenkun309]

[A promise but at what cost?]

A what if scenario : "What if Kuya kept his promise to his old best friend?"

TW : Blood, mention of a character's death, descriptions of scenes that some may find disturbing, I might receive some "WHY" comments in the comment section😅

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.

It wasn't an easy battle at all, the ground of the Kanda Myojin shrine were stained with blood now...It was a terrifying sight but your eyes were completely indifferent to how much the blood was on the ground as much as you were focused on the scene in front of you...There, Kuya clutching the blade with his arm stretched out in front of him, his golden eyes that once shone, darkened by what he had done...In front of him stands Koga, the blade that once belonged to him is now against him, piercing his chest and blood dripping from it...The Ogre's features looked sad and languid, his crimson red eyes looked dull after shining like gold, just like the irises of the Tengu before him.

“No...” Aoi said in a trembling tone while averting his gaze from the horrible sight he had witnessed, Ginnojo was unable to say anything but merely bowed his head and gritted his teeth fully realising that he was unable to do anything...Likewise for Yura who was putting his sleeve over his mouth as if he expected what might happen, Nachi, who was standing next to you, holding your unconscious father on hand, and his mind isn't comprehending what happened on the other. From the intensity of the quietness that was controlling the place, a slight cough passed over everyone's ears, suddenly, to find that Koga began to spit blood from his mouth in abundance, his features began to darken more, his hair that was white as snow returned to match the color of the dark sky that night, Kuya was still holding that blade in his hand but he pulled it very slowly with a cold look on his face to throw the blade, which in turn became stained with blood, and the iron blade hit the ground, causing an annoying echo, in addition to the fact that the sight of the bloody blade was disturbing in itself. Koga's legs couldn't hold him any longer and his body began to fall apart. Because it was a reflex, Kuya rushed with his strong arms to grab his partner's completely collapsed body.

Here at last, your voice came out into the open to come out like a loud scream trying to deny what happened and ended in front of you, you wanted to reach them to make sure that everything you see is just an illusion, a terrible nightmare that you want to get up from as soon as possible...but it wasn't like that...What you witnessed is real, realistic, and you are supposed to accept it, you're forced to accept it no matter how harsh and intolerable it is. You kept trying to break free from your comrades holding you, trying to prevent you from seeing how awful it was more closely and unfortunately, your small body compared to their strength didn't allow you to break free...so you just raised you arm in an attempt to reach them pretending that you may prevent what has already happened and tears flowed profusely from your eyes, but why?

Why did you react in such an exaggerated way about what happened? Is it because you reject the idea of two best friends fighting to death? Is it because maybe you had a solution other than ending it in such a terrible way? Or is it something else entirely, something that isn't related to the matter of two close friends or the like, but was a reason related to your feelings, and your feelings overflowed for the sake of someone who wanted his end to be like this if necessary.

Everything happened so quickly but it seemed as if time had completely frozen, that's only for you to notice that certain crimson irises were casting their gazes at you, only to be surprised that those eyes belonged to Koga whose body collapsed on top of Kuya's body that he was barely able to hold on to. Of course, after the carnage form, his face grew paler with each passing second, his facial features that used to be bright and lively have now become sad and lamentable, but this didn't prevent him from forcing his worn-out features from drawing the last smile on his face for your sake, wanting to convey a curtain message to you in his own way.

It didn't occur to you what that message was that he was trying to convey to you with his weak smile, and it seems that you'll never find enough time for that as you noticed that those used-to-be gorgeous crimon eyes closed never to open again. Gravity overcame his body and insisted on dropping him to the ground, but Kuya's arms refused to do so...The tengu's arms, despite their strength, the trembling in them was very clear, until he, in turn, knelt on his knees, explaining that it was all over, but at what cost? "I kept my promise...are you satisfied now?"

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.

Now go ahead and hate me cuz I already hate myself for doing this!!! 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Dawn and Twilight’s Social Media Accounts

Kuya

@NevermoreButSnore.

1230 followers.

Yes, I copied Edgar Allan Poe. Yes, I’m not sorry about the rhyme. Or calling him out. 

Not that he really cares.

Insists that he is a headcanon creator on Twitter 

Everyone who follows him knows that he is lying. 

If we really had to classify him as a writer, it would one who posts those way-too-accurate posts about writers complaining about writing. 

Like the notebook hoarding one. Not that anyone here in the fandom is guilty of that, haha... haha... ha.

Ironically is one of the more popular ones out of the whole group. 

His flat responses and laziness are way too prominent to NOT be noticed. 

If you actually tentatively sneak into his DMs though, for writing tips, he will patiently listen and... rather bluntly advise you. 

It’s still advice though and is always the type to check out and reblog any short fanfics.

It just has to be weird, sporadic hours because he is the type to fall asleep with the phone on his face. 

Koga Kitamikado

@CapitalKayKay

Listen, there is a reason why a lot of successful businesses chose Instagram as their social media so Koga is no exception. 

What makes his account stand out, as you can see from his rather cheeky username, is that he is willing to be an open book. 

So he isn’t constantly shoving down any products he is sponsoring or whatever piece he is endorsing. 

It’s more of genuinely wanting to hang out and explore what the world has to offer. 

Whenever he posts a picture of the gang together, he’s the one tagging all of them, even the ones with hard usernames.

And there’s always a nice comment thanking whoever hosted the fun time or being appreciative of the area and the locals.

It helps that he has a sense of humour so the memes are always just the right amount of teasing but nothing too bad that will deter potential clients.

Because of his down-to-earth nature, he reels everyone in.

Uses the space to invite everyone following him on any celebration/casual outing.

The thing is... he has a lot of followers.

So... good luck.

Aoi

1150 followers.

@DeredArtTooTsun

Look, even he knows he is a Tsundere. It’s a small victory getting him to acknowledge that, let alone use it to brand himself here.

But god, he’s the man I’m most jealous of on Tumblr.

PERFECT BULLET JOURNALS AND SKETCHES.

Got the spreads that literally define ‘aesthetic’, a perfect lineup of art materials even with pencils that have their numbers faded, and somehow, the emotions can pass through the paper and screen.

Even does tutorials on perspectives, positions with cute annotations. Just don’t praise them for being adorable though and focus on improving your skills, dummy.

Ironically though, it’s his mindless vents that get the most number of notes.

It helps that the pics include him, a very cute... I mean... manly boy screaming at very, very hot men.

A bit baffled but whatever it takes to get commissions. 

That’s right, he takes them. At least there is a back-up option should the restaurant ever go out of business. 

Spoiler Alert: Still doesn’t get paid as much. People, have you seen the number of talented artists here? Aoi might be in the rankings but it’s still hard attracting business.

Support your fandom artists, everyone!

Ginnojo

1000 followers. Just nice.

Ginnojoz

Poor grandpa didn’t intend to put that extra ‘z’ letter, it was a typo because scales don’t get along with haptic touch. 

And unfortunately, doesn’t understand how to change it. 

Once, he was huge on Vine before it died. The end of an era that he has to witness again. RIP.

Gin-Gin, it is RIGHT. THERE.

Expect to find his super short self-defence videos and Book Club Readings on YouTube.

Girls actually appreciate his instructions and attempts to provide help even if they are alone. 

He did try to respond to the nice ones and actually succeeds. 

It’s always easier getting to know the language of women when you don’t really see/touch them.

A deep baritone is perfect for some sexy excerpt of a historical novel... 

Until he corrects the setting.

In fact, he sometimes rage-quits and rewrites it. 

Unlike Kuya, him doing those established ideas actually catches on. 

Yura and Gaku

1500 followers.

MelodyandTheBeat. 

... Tik-tokers. Tik-Tok people? 

WTH do you call them?

As you can see, they are the most popular since it’s combined stardom.

Look, their covers and music mixes are beautiful.

They always have their own version that somehow combines traditional Japanese music... with k-pop.

And of course, food porn. 

Just be grateful there isn’t that awful squelching sound you hear when you consume jelly or the breaking of chilli seeds. 

Listen, I usually separate them because it’s never nice to be grouped as having the same activity as your twin. 

But in this case, being both equally beautiful AND talented sells their uploads. 

Even the cringy ones made because Yura is such a Luddite. 

Like just turning his head and being amazed his hair can turn so many colours, being impressed with each tilt until he gets to a black shade. 

Suddenly hurls the phone away. Gee, wonder why? Guess black isn’t the new... black for him?

Gaku sometimes even introduces new filters he created based on Yura’s random requests that strangely get circulated on the site. 

Oji

550 followers all know Oji-Sanz

Unlike Ginnojo, he deliberately adds the ‘z’ letter to sound cool.

You wanna know what’s worse? 

He actually uses Facebook. 

Aoi decides to give up on him. Nobody blames the poor student.

It’s apparently some old form of social media? Never used it, no sirree. 

Always changing his relationship status but at the end of the day, he’s single and ready... 

To post about all the lovely ladies destined to enter his restaurant. 

He thinks it’s great publicity. 

It really isn’t but one good thing about Oji is he includes EVERYONE.

This man respects his customers and always helps advertise their wares, especially if their connections lead to more resources. 

And less grocery shopping on his part.

Does post the recipes he and Aoi created but will never use because the Milk Hall had a certain style to follow.

Officially makes Aoi his son... on Facebook at least. 

Aoi now tolerates the account. 

Barely. 

Toichiro Yuri

WhatheMeSay has 1231 followers! 

In your face @CapitalKayKay and @NevermorebutSnore!!

You know, I’m so glad that there aren’t any users with those names because I’d be so scared of accidentally tagging them.

Also, geddit? Because... What the fox say? 

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding... yeah, I’ll stop.

Pinterest Guy. And actually does spend on his ‘hobby’ to show off to everyone.

It does boost you and your father’s sales so there is nothing to complain about. 

His boards are always alliterated just to sound super catchy and it works so long as he gets the right emoji. 

Kabuki plays better be promoted or else.

Filled with candid pictures of his victims all taken at different angles you didn’t know were possible and in varying degrees of hilariously misunderstood positions.

He even supplies a donation link, heavily leveraged by his followers, since there are incentives tied to it like early access.

A bit suspicious the photos look like cropped out parts from Koga’s posts and some of the text resembles Kuya’s... er... wisdom?

He takes an unholy amount of selfies when he thinks no one is looking and so they are always surprised upon finding them on the Selfie Board. 

There is a locked board that no one can access, even his followers who are his comrades in real life. 

It’s actually just one picture in there. 

It’s you smiling and giggling at a joke of his. Not even you know it’s been taken. Guess he is as soft as his fur, eh? He better come out soon or else.

Kuro

Kuroruohtumbling

Ginnojo is unfortunately just old enough to have grown up with Scooby-Doo to understand the reference.

Snapchat, like a snapping snake! Hiss!

Unironically loves the puppy face.

Ok, but the glimpses of his stunts help show snippets of the circus life. 

He and his whole troupe family will even don costumes best suited for certain filters.

Sometimes ropes in Ginnojo... and by sometimes, I mean enough for everyone to start wondering if the stoic man is part of the act. 

To be fair, he randomly hugs people and ranks them here.

You, of course, were number 1. 

Now, if only he didn’t use the bloody song to announce it but you forgive him.

Maybe even risks revealing his ayakashi form before deleting the message to you.

Loves making international fans and learning various languages through each post, sort of like flashcards but animated and more fun!

And with 1200 followers, he might become a polyglot like Koga.

Shizuki 

Everyone bans him from creating one. 

Because they know the power of his roasts is too great. 

Little do they know he goes undercover. 

Underground.

And under their noses.

That’s right. His rant town on... MySpace. 

Unapologetically uses a good chunk of his salary from serving the House of Yuri just to get nifty themes that help with the whole burning process. 

Look, there’s a reason he and Oji are friends. 

This is why. 

Their taste in women seems fine but we really have got to do something about their affinity towards DEAD PLACES.

To be fair, he made the whole thing drunk but that doesn’t mean he should maintain it SOBER.

He just feels that it is a waste of space if he doesn’t utilize it. 

And it also becomes kind of cathartic. From the intrusive hugs to his master and Sir Gaku irking each other to no end, he needs it. 

Zero followers... but only because it’s super private. 

It becomes 1 the moment you jokingly create an account.
