The Little Fox (Chapter 1)

A/N: I was going to work on and post Solitary Confinement, but this happened...

You can find all my other works here!

The moon lit my path as I slipped in and out of the rooms in this mansion. There weren’t any valuables in the bedrooms so far. It’s almost like someone doesn’t actually live here. There are plenty of guards around, so that isn’t true, but it feels like it. Being so small made it easy to keep in the shadows whenever they stomped by. Whoever’s mansion this was, they weren’t on the premises yet. This room, the study, had shelves lined with important looking books and scrolls.

Too bad I can’t read to see if they’re valuable.

Rifling through some drawers, however, proved to be very lucrative. Jewels, coins, and even an expensive looking dagger. I stuffed the jewels and coins into my satchel and held onto the dagger with both hands. The handle had a crest on it, one that I didn’t recognize. It hadn’t been that long since I came to this region.

The door suddenly slammed open, and a tall man with brown hair and an eye patch was rubbing the back of his neck. “I am excited about the news that the Tiger of Kai and the Dragon of Echigo are alive, but the waiting is—” He stopped mid-sentence, noticing me. The vassal following him had nearly ran into him.

Time to go!

There was a small window that was easily accessed by climbing up a step on the shelf. It helped to have a small body and quick reaction time. Neither of them had the time to move before I was gone. The shouting of the guards and the running of their footsteps echoed through the hallways, giving away where they were. Avoiding them was easy. I had escaped into the forest in seconds.

Running as quickly and quietly as I could, the only place to settle down for the night was a large cave near the river. Carefully slipping inside, my eyes scanned the dark area. Hopefully… there are no bears. I kept toward the entrance, just in case. Leaning against the damp rock, my eyes slid closed. Resting for a little bit will give me enough energy to make it to the market in the morning to sell these items.

No bears attacked during the night. The sun peaking over the horizon was what woke me up. It stung my eyes with how bright it was. Rubbing them with the sides of my index fingers, a long yawn escaped. It’s been a while since I’ve had a place to sleep in that wasn’t in a cave or on the forest floor. After I move on from this place, it should be alright for me to find an inn to stay in. No one will recognize me if I head east.

My stomach growled loudly. “Yeah, yeah, I’ll feed you soon,” I muttered. Climbing to my feet, I checked for any unwanted strangers lurking around before making my way into the town. Sticking to the small street alleys, I went straight to the person that had bought my items a few days ago.

“Back already? And where did you acquire these things this time, hmm?” The store owner asked, examining the items as I gave them to him.

Glancing around anxiously, I frowned. “I thought we agreed that you wouldn’t ask any questions,” I replied. Just hurry up and give me my coins.

He laughed, nodding his head as he counted out some coins.

I stared at the pile. “This is less than last time, and I brought a lot more things.” He’s cheating me out of money! Doesn’t he know how hard I worked last night to get them?

“You’re clearly stealing these items, little lady. You should be grateful that I don’t call over a guard to arrest you,” he replied, sliding the small pile towards me. He leaned over the countertop. “Either accept this or go back to whatever little hole you crawled out of with nothing.”

Asshole.

Swiping the coins into my little satchel, I stuck my tongue out at him. “Cranky old man,” I said, turning on my heel to leave. Glancing back over my shoulder, I saw that he had left the dagger on the counter. His attention had been drawn to an actual customer. A little revenge wouldn’t hurt anyone. Tiptoeing back over, I swiped it off the counter, and then bolted back towards the outskirts of town.

His shouting was drowned out by distance and the crowded street chatter. A victorious laugh escaped my lips as I kept moving away though all the people. The little bit of money that he had given me for the goods bought me some red bean buns and a bowl of rice. Tucking my prized dessert into a cloth in my satchel, I returned to the safety of the woods.

The stream filled my canteen easily. I fell back into the grass, savoring the taste of the bun after devouring the rice. “It’s still warm,” I hummed happily. Stealing things to sell had been scarce as of late, so swiping food from vendors had been my only option. By the time I got away, all the food would be lukewarm at best. The sun soaked into my skin, making me one happy girl.

“Found you, little thief,” a familiar voice came from behind me.

I titled my head back to see who it was. Though the man was upside down in my view, who could mistake that eye patch? It hasn’t even been a day yet! How did he find me? Scrambling to my feet, I watched him lean casually against the tree. My satchel was right by my feet, and though I prefer not to get wet, my best escape route is to cross over the stream and lose him in the forest.

He smiled at me, folding his arms. “There’s no where you can run that I can’t find you. You had quite a few witnesses in the town, and some tell me that they’ve seen you in other towns as well. A traveling thief, that’s rare.”

“I’ve already sold all the jewels,” I said, debating whether or not to run now. One wrong move and I will be caught. He might even kill me! I might be a worthless street kid but dying was not on my list of things to do anytime soon.

“Return that dagger in your bag and I’ll forget about the rest. The jewels and trinkets are worthless to me, but that,” he pointed to the dagger that stuck up out of the bag. “That is a family heirloom. I’d very much appreciate it if you gave it back.”

Who is this guy? I took a bite of my red bean bun and glared at him. He just wants me to give it back? Like that’ll happen. An idea struck me as I swallowed. A sly grin grew on my lips and I said, “Okay, what are you going to give me in exchange for it?”

He tilted his head a little, like a predator intrigued by its prey. “Ever the negotiator, aren’t you? How about I let you live if you do.” For the first time since he arrived, he’d finally moved to threatening me.

“Lame,” I replied, sticking my tongue out at him. “I could sell this for a lot, in the east.”

The man was a little shocked at my words, but he still stayed leaned against the tree. A taunt, in a way, to show me that he felt in control of this situation. “Alright, what is it that you want?” he asked, pushing off the tree with his shoulder.

Hmm? What should I ask for? This is an opportunity, so I shouldn’t waste it! Money? No, too simple. Surviving in this world would only become much tougher the more known I became from stealing. “Your house.”

He faltered mid-step, clearly not expecting that answer. “A house for a dagger?”

I laughed and nodded my head. “You’re the one who said it was a priceless family heirloom. In exchange for the dagger, and me not stealing anything else in the future, I want a promise that I can come and go from the place for as long as I want, with free meals.” This would be perfect. I could stock up on coins while not having to pay for a place to live.

“You want a home, then?” He asked, softer than before. The pity evident in his voice. All grown ups are the same.

“Ew, no. I want a free inn and free meals for a while. That’s it,” I answered with a shrug of my shoulders. No one actually cares for us. We’re a nuisance that most would kill if they had the opportunity. They pity us for our situation, but never act to change it. That would be too much for them to handle.

The man smiled. “What’s your name, lad?”

Lad? Oh! He thinks I’m a boy. That’s usually the case, as my hair had been chopped off by the last shop owner that caught me. My attire was some black slacks and a blue loose top. My features weren’t particularly girly, either. Only a moment passed. I’m not going to tell him. “I don’t have one. But the other kids call me Kitsune.”

“Kitsune? Like the fox? That’s very befitting of you,” He mused, laughing at the thought of it. He looked me over once again and then extended his hand. “How about Kitsu for short? My name is Masamune Date, and I’ll agree to your price.”

Sliding the dagger from the sheath, I put the sheath in his hand. “You can have the rest after I have a contract stating those things,” I said, hugging the metal against my chest. Adults can’t be trusted. But… a written agreement would be hard to refute.

Masamune couldn’t contain his laughter this time. “You’re an amusing lad. We can return to the manor now and write out exactly what you want, okay?”

I grinned, excited that things had turned out this way. Slinging the satchel over my shoulder, I struggled to keep up with his long stride. It almost felt unreal to me. Who knew stealing from this man would result in me having a secure place to live for a while? I basked in my victory the entire way back to the manor. That is, until I’d signed something without realizing the extent of what it was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that... happened. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of this new ikesen adventure!

Fic requests are still open! :D

I saw your post about the IkeSen lords and their NoMo MC and thought it was beautifully done! But it got me thinking... What if the lords' mc COULDN'T have kids, not necessarily that she didn't want them. How do you think Hideyoshi, Ieyasu and Masamune would react? Or even Sasuke, Yukimura and Shingen (or any three Lord combo you want... I'm curious about all all of them.)

Hi, hi, dear. ❤🌻🥰Thank you so much for the request love! 🦊Awww, thank you so much for the kind words, dear!❤❤❤❤😳 Hehe, so I didn’t add Sasuke and Yuki cause I was lazy, hope that is okay❤🌻🦋! Anyways so, this one really hit close to home!🙈😱 So I hope I did this justice! I hope you have a super good day and I hope you are keeping safe! ❤❤🌻🦋

Headcanon: MC that can’t have children feat: Hideyoshi, Ieyasu, Masamune and Shingen

Ieyasu

The two of you had been married for quite some time now

And naturally, you started trying for children to expand your little porcupine army ^̮^

It had been a few years of trying yet still nothing ≧☉_☉≦

Ieyasu had given both of you, various concoctions of herb mixes to aid in fertility and the two of you practically tried every wives tale in the book, from honey and cinnamon drinks to acupuncture

Yet still nothing (¬_¬)

You decided to go and speak to one of the midwives while Ieyasu was away to war

She did a quick evaluation and after some time she looked you in the eyes, sad look crossing her face ⚆ _ ⚆

She didn’t have to say anything for you to know that you couldn’t have children ಥ ͜ʖಥ

You offered her a smile and thanked her for the evaluation

However, the second she left you crumpled to the floor and cried

‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚

Ieyasu came back early that night and was greeted by the sight of you curled up in a ball sobbing ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐

He was by your side in a matter of seconds picking your up and cradling you in his arms, as he moved you to sit in his lap

His heart broke as you refused to look him in the eyes

All sorts of things had been going through your mind when the midwife left, like would he take up another wife at the news, would he leave you

Long fingers gently wiped away your tears and made their way to hook under your chin so that you were now looking at him ༼☯﹏☯༽

“Tell me what happened, did that stupid Mitsunari make you some horrible tea and force you to drink it.” (◕⍸ ◕✿)

You chuckled through the sobs as he tried to lighten the mood with a joke

His fingertips danced across your cheek as he lovingly caressed your face while wiping away every tear that fell ( ‘́⌣’̀)/(˘̩̩ε˘̩ƪ)

Finally, through hiccuped sobs, you managed to get out what the midwife had told you

He couldn’t help but shed a tear of his own at how heartbroken you were at the news (╥_╥)

He simply wrapped you in his arms and tucked your head so that it was now comfortably resting in the crook of his neck. He gently rubs small circles on your back as you spent the night crying in his arms

He kissed your nose and your cheek, “It’s alright silly girl, there is more than one way to start a family. It’s not your fault so don’t stress about it.” He tried his best to reassure you knowing that you were beating yourself up (｡◕‿◕｡)

He smiled kissing your forehead, “Besides we already do have a baby we are looking after, I’m pretty sure Mitsunari would die without our care, especially during times when Hideyoshi goes to war.”(｡◕‿◕｡)

At the end of the day, the two of you did have children, albeit not your biological children.

You adopted two wonderful little boys who were sent to the Oda clan as hostages after their parents died.

The second, you saw the look on Ieyasu face when he saw the two little scamps you knew that he wanted to rescue them so that they didn’t suffer the same fate he had as a child.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Masamune

Masamune already knew you couldn’t have children

Or rather he suspected

Every time the two of you would do the deed, you would always joke about, him not having to worry about you getting pregnant (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

He never thought much of it, shrugging it off thinking you had some fancy futuristic contraception

The two of you never really sat down and had a conversation about it

Although the more serious Masamune Date got about you, the more you dreaded having to have that convo with the man ಠ╭╮ಠ

After all, he was the leader of his clan and as wife to the future leader certain duties and expectations had to be met

Well not that you were at that point yet, or so you thought

Unbeknown to you Masamune had gone behind your back and consulted with your enemy ninja fiend and his fellow warlords to plan the perfect evening to propose to you (✿◠‿◠)

Masamune knew you were the perfect woman for him, and tbh after having met you, you were the only woman he could ever look at

You taught him how to love and healed him from all his traumas and for that, he will be eternally grateful (◕‿◕✿)

He knew you were never one for grand gestures so he decided to keep it small, besides this way the proposal would genuinely be a surprise

He cooked the two of you dinner like any other night

After dinner, you made your way outside together to sit and have a nightcap under the stars

That's when he pulled out a ring and proposed ( ° ᴗ°)~ð (/❛o❛\)

You were so happy you could cry, yet the tears you shed weren’t from happiness ಥʖ̯ಥ

“Masamune I have to tell you something?” you said in a rather serious tone

He froze up thinking you were going to tell him you didn’t love him, that his feelings had been one-sided, he swallowed the lump in his throat as he spoke, “What is it kitten, don’t tell me you’re afraid of commitment”

You shook your head tears still falling, “Remember all those jokes I made about not having to worry about getting pregnant, well those weren’t jokes, I really can’t.” （>﹏<）

Everything seemed to move in slow motion, as he was faced with a decision between happiness and duty

He made up his mind and looked you square in the eyes, “And the problem is what exactly kitten, I love you and you love me right, so say yes” he gave you the broadest smile (˶◕‿◕˶✿)

You couldn’t help but jump into his arms in a tight embrace showering his face in small kisses

In truth, you had received a proposal once before, years ago yet, that man was not able to accept you as you were. Looking back you were thankful he had rejected you, as it had led you onto the path of true love and happiness

Masamune did eventually get a son and a successor, as the two of you had come across a poor orphaned boy barely surviving on the streets and decided to take him in and raise him as your own. | (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)

Shingen

You and Shingen had been married for quite some time now

He was still busy recovering from his lung disease and it was time for the two of you to go back to the future with Sasuke to get him checked out and restock up on meds

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

The two of you, would go back to the future every five years or so just to check up on his lungs, to make sure everything was still good (¬‿¬)

While Shingen was at the doctors, you decided to go to your gynaecologist to check up on your lady bits (¬‿¬)(¬‿¬)

Usually, the two of you would chill in the future for a few months until the next wormhole opened up, which suited you perfectly as it gave you an opportunity to catch up with your family (◕‿◕✿)

One day while you and Shingen were chilling on the couch the gyno called and asked you to come in so she could discuss your results

Shingen looked over at you, “Is everything alright, my goddess.” (◕‸ ◕✿)

You wore a concerned expression as you put down the phone, “I’m not sure, she asked me to come and see her as soon as possible.” (◕__◕✿)

The next day you and Shingen were sitting in the consultation room as the gynaecologist broke the news to you, that you had cervical cancer

Shingen grabbed your shaking hands and squeezed it.

As the doctor explained your options, Shingen helped keep you calm by rubbing soothing circle on the back of your hand (〃‿〃✿)

The two of you decided to start the treatment immediately as that was the best way to ensure that both of you would be in tip top shape to return to the past

To be honest when the doctor broke the news that after the procedure, you would never be able to have biological children of your own, your heart broke ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

You and Shingen had finally decided to try for children and now that dream seemed to be coming to a crashing end (つ﹏⊂)

Shingen was there for you every step of the way, just as you were for him when he was sick and in the hospital (づ￣ ³￣)づ

The two of you went through the list of options in terms of children, and being in the future, there were quite a few options

The two of you finally settled on adoption and quickly approached an agency to fast track it before you had to return back home ~(˘▾˘~)

The two of you landed up adopting four children at once.

They had been in the system for so long, as they came as a package deal. Neither of them wanting to be separated from the others

Shingen smiled as the social worker warned him about the 13-year-old’s tendency to run away.┗(＾0＾)┓

The two of you returned back to the past with your four children. You had gone from an empty nest to a full house in less than a year

You were slightly worried about the children having to adapt to a new life in the past, but those worries were for nothing as they were absolutely thriving ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

Even the angsty 13-year old that was rumoured to have run away from his last 10 homes loved every bit of the past

He especially had taken a liking to Yukimura who would train with him

Finally, the four children who had never known love their whole entire lives were now surrounded by it from all sides

Hideyoshi

Oh you had loved your doting husband to bits ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

He was everything you could have ever asked for in a potential partner, kind, loving, caring, need I go on \ (•◡•) /

Hideyoshi had found out very early on that you were unable to have children

In fact, you had actually confided in him way back when he had still sister zoned you ◉_◉

He never judged you for it and honestly never cared whether you could have children or not, all he knew was that he loved you ♥‿♥

He often jokes that the two of you couldn’t possibly raise a child as you already had your hands full with the warlords (｡◕‿‿◕｡)

If the two of you weren’t controlling Nobunaga’s candy binges, you were caring for Mitsunari, heck the two of you even had to break up small fights between bickering warlords

Although all that changed one day when there was a knock on your door in the middle of the night (；一_一)

Naturally, you kicked Hideyoshi out of bed to investigate, as you were to comfortable in the warm cocoon of your bed (｡v_v｡)

Hideyoshi kissed the top of your head as he got up to investigate.

As he approached the door, he wondered who dare would wake them up so late into the evening ¬_¬

He was already cursing under his breath thinking he might find an injured Mitsuhide on his doorstep in need of medical assistance.

He opened the door and peered into the darkness, no one was there. He frowned thinking it might have been some children pulling a prank ب_ب

Just as he was closing the door, he heard a small sneeze, he looked down to the find out the source of the sound was a baby, that couldn’t have even been more than a few hours old ≧☉_☉≦

He gently picked up the tiny thing and cradled it in his arm.

He could feel his blood boiling as he felt how cold the little baby’s hand were

(╯=▃=)╯︵┻━┻

He rushed to get a soft blanket to wrap the poor child in and then made his way to your shared room where he relit the fireplace ლ(･ω･*ლ)

At this point, you were sitting up in your futon wondering if Mitsuhide had gotten himself injured again (＾＾；)

Before you could even get up, your eyes widened in shock as you spotted the little bundled in Hideyoshi’s arms as he lit the fireplace ʘ‿ʘ

The second he handed the child to you, you were in love, in fact, both of you were in love ♡｡ﾟ.(*♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡*)ﾟ♡ °・

You raised the little girl as your own, the two of you could never track down her biological parents, not that you cared as you loved her to bits and would never be able to give her up (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡ ✧*。

I hope you enjoyed this love🦋🌻! And I hope you are keeping safe and well.❤❤🥰🌻

Anjou’s Motivation

Chisei Gen thought: "Anjou is a gentleman, an educator, but he likes to play, sometimes at the expense of doing his job." “

"It's just a mask he uses to disguise himself. He's very good at covering his heart with flashy appearances, very few people know about his past, and I've been getting some clues for almost a decade." Tachibana Masamune clapped, "Yasha, go to the archives and get me the files of Hilbert Jean Anjou." ”

The plain-colored file bag was soon placed in front of Tachibana, from which he poured out a file and placed it in front of the Chisei. Chisei looked at the home page, the heart slightly surprised.

“Name: Hilbert Ron Anjou

Birthday: 10/28/1878

City of Birth: Harrogate, Yorkshire, UK

Education: Ph.D., Trinity College, Cambridge”

It's a personal file by Hilbert Jean Ange, the president of Cassel College, hundreds of pages thick, with dense text documenting details from birth to this day. As a mixed-race and also of rare longevity, Anjou has lived for almost 130 years. Many of the things he may not remember, were quietly recorded in this file. Chisei never knew that the family's archives still contained such top secrets, even within Cassel College, no one knew about Anjou's past. His old man was dead, and his past was buried in a grave.

"It's a patchwork of several archives, and the result of our own adjustment, so it may not be accurate. However, it may restore Professor Anjou's life. The content is too complicated, I'll pick the important parts to tell you.

"Unlike what many people think, Hilbert Jean Ange is actually an orphan whose last name, 'Anjou', comes from French, but he was actually born in Yorkshire, England, a small city called Harrogate. He is not only a nobleman, butas a child lived very poor, so he can be said to have suffered. His adoptive parents adopted a lot of children and trained them to beg, and Anjou was one of the most special of the children. He was a hybrid, and at the age of twelve he showed amazing talent. He learned Latin and Greek without a teacher, and was appreciated by the local bishop, who offered him an annuity to study in London so that he could get a chance to go to Cambridge University. There he met the man who really changed his life, Menek Cassel, the elder son of the Cassel family, the founder of the Secret Party LionHeart, and one of the greatest dragon-slaughterers of all time. “

"Menek was twenty-one years old at the time, and Anjou was sixteen years old, and after a lonely childhood and teenage years, Anjou met another man with dragon blood for the first time. Menek recommended him to join the Secret Party and become the first member of the Lions Heart Club. But even Menek didn't think he'd unearthed such excellent blood, and the teenager who came out of the small town of Harrogate would end up as the leader of the Secret Party and the terminator of the dragon. To Anjou, Menek was like his brother, and everyone in the Lion's Heart was his family, because with these people, he was finally able to struggle out of his loneliness. It was the happiest time of his life, he studied at Cambridge, secretly participated in the activities of the secret party, his charm was the greatest bloom. The girls wanted to be with him, the boys were proud to be friends with him. He is a good academic and wore the latest fashions. The playboy image he showed today is the foundation that accumulated at that time.”

"Today's Lion's Heart is just a student association at Cassel College, but at the time it was the Youth League of the Secret Party, the world's best dragon butcher's team. Lion Heart will give Anjou not only friendship, but also glory and dreams. Everyone thinks Lion heart will be the light of hope for the secret party, and Menek Kassel has no doubt that he will be the next secret party leader. But suddenly the great change came, in the event known as 'the Lament of Summer’, the secret party's home Kassel Estate was attacked by the Dragons at night, a Dragon King-level enemy infiltrated into the estate, and the Dragon Servitors surrounded them from the outside. Lionheart fell as war dead.”

"It sounds weird, " Chisei interrupted Tachibana’s account, "In this case, the dragons show similar patterns of behavior to humans, they use strategies, launched a similar military night raid attack, which is not in line with the dragon's behavior patterns." Dragons are proud, noble clans that wake up to growl at the world, destroy all enemies with unparalleled violence, and disdain convert operations.

Tachibana nodded: "Yes, it's very strange, but we can't get to know the truth." 'Lament of Summer' is the top secret of the Secret Party, and hundreds of years on, the Secret Party has not released its findings on anyone other than the school board. But all the evidence suggests that the dragons did launch such a night raid, that they broken in from the inside and should have completely destroyed the secret party. But there is a man who pulls the wind, the world's genius Menek Cassel actually broke out to match the power of the Dragon King. The Cassel family, the greatest dragon-butcher family in history, declined, and no one could ever inherit its glory. The LionHeart was gone, and Hilbert Jean Ange is the only survivor. ”

"Ange wasn't in Cassel's estate at the time?" Chisei asked.

"No, he was in close contact with the Dragon King, and after his injury he fell into the cellar and passed out as though dead. He recovered the next morning and witnessed the saddest images of his life, with corpses piling up, human beings and Death Servitors hugging each other at the last moments of their lives, not out of affection, but trying to tear each other apart. The only person standing was Menek Cassel, but it was a corpse with a broken knife. Before that, Anjou probably never thought that the war between man and dragons would be so decisive, so cruel, flowing with blood like a river. Only one side survives this war, and even if all you can do is move your jaw, you have to climb over and bite your opponent's throat. ”

"Anjou dug his friend's graves with his own hands and burned them to ashes. He buried the ashes, and he buried his past. When the Secret Party found him, he walked alone in the wilderness, like The Walking Dead, and after he was rescued he said only one word, 'The world turned out to be so cruel'. The doctor said he could not imagine such a seriously injured near-death patient could have such energy, with so many bodies piled up to be burned on the pyre. The doctor said that there must be some amazing mental strength to support the body of the young man. Then Anjou fell asleep and earned a year before he woke up again, and the doctor almost thought he wouldn't wake up again. ”

But he did not become depressed when he woke up, but showed amazing activity. In the 'Lament of Summer’, the secret party elite suffered heavy losses. The young Hilbert Jean Anjou suddenly rose to power at the top of the secretive party. To some extent, he was the beneficiary of 'Lament of Summer. But that didn't bring him any joy. The elegant, active, conceited Anjou disappeared, leaving only the lone, iron-fisted powerman. The old playboy is only the mask he used to disguise himself, he had only a lonely avenger in his heart, always carrying a sharp iron blade. He continued to consolidate his rights, cultivate cronies and take control of the entire Cassel Academy in order to mobilize the most elite teams when it came to dragon slaughtering. This led to the school board's dissatisfaction with him, but Ange is irreplaceable. He had been to hell and back, so he is no longer afraid of death.”

"He was lonely and poor, but his encounter with Menek Cassel changed his life. Overnight, he won honor, dreams, friends, even family, but overnight lost all this, once again closed in the abyss of loneliness. The Dragons took everything from him, and he was determined to take revenge. What the doctor called 'some amazing spiritual force' was hatred, and the dragon taught him the cruelty of the world, from which moment he transformed him into the world's most terrifying dragon-butcher.” Tachibana whispered, "The dragons should regret keeping the man alive." ”

Silence for a long time, Chisei sighed softly: "No wonder everyone said 'don't be an enemy with Anjou', that kind of man's heart hidden coal mine, anger is ignited will not be extinguished until the enemy is burned, or burn themselves to ashes." ”

"Hate has created a paranoid personality, he is a ruthless man, no relatives and no friends. He was good to the students, because he needed them to fight for him, everyone was a tool in his eyes, a tool he used to avenge the Dragons.”

Relationship: Uchiha Sakura/Uchiha Sasuke

Characters: Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sarada

Notes: I have this headcanon that Sasuke has such a bleeding heart for animals that he’s always adopting all kinds of weird and maybe dangerous animals.

AO3

Sasuke never gave Sakura the feeling of being an animal lover.

Sakura always prided herself on knowing the love of her life pretty well as a child, she always lamented the fact that she wasn’t able to met him as a teenager and the pink haired girl fell in love with the young adult who was well in his way of becoming a man.

But even if during their travels Sasuke was kind to the birds he summoned to keep updated with Konoha and their loved ones and even when Sakura saw him feeding strays on multiples occasions, she never thought her husband would be the kind of person who just couldn’t help but rescue and keep animals of all kinds.

It all started back then in their first year of marriage when Sarada was only months old and they just erected the new Uchiha home for the new generation they lovingly brought into the world they fought so hard to keep in peace.

Sakura was happily knitting a scarf for her daughter while she waited for Sasuke to come back home.

Sasuke had been on a two days’ mission near Konoha and she was sure he was coming back that day, her husband was one of the best shinobi on the village and he had a fierce sense of devotion passed onto him by his brother, a man she later discovered, was a martyr of their home and a real patriot. Sasuke learnt the importance of peace in the face of Itachi’s sacrifice and so, he never denied a mission.

But he always came back on time, he wasn’t one for broken promises and he always hurried home after a mission. Sakura in return, always bought him flowers to celebrate his homecoming.

This time she had a cute Sansevieria sprout on a pot meaning I love you waiting at her side, while on the other side was Sarada peacefully sleeping in her crib.

Sakura perked up when she felt Sasuke’s dark yet welcoming chakra nearing the house, she allowed her husband to walk into the household by himself in search for his family and she was ready to welcome him home with a smile until the kunoichi heard the panting.

Standing at Sasuke’s feet was one of the biggest dogs she’d ever seen, not counting of course, Akamaru.

The dog was almost as big as Kakashi’s bull. Only, not as bulky.

On four legs, its’ head almost reached Sasuke’s pectorals, she didn’t want to think of how tall it would be standing on two legs nor how tall it would look besides her and her daughter.

The poor thing had a scar in the side of her face where she was missing an eye, it actually had angry scars all over its’ body, it looked tense and anxious. The only cheery thing on it being the bright collar around its’ neck.

“What is this dog doing in here, Sasuke-kun?” She asked reaching out for Sarada on her crib and holding her tight against her chest without taking her eyes off the dog for a second.

“It’s a she,” explained Sasuke with a calm demeanour holding onto the pretty pink collar and leash that restrained the white dog, “she’s a Kuchi breed, very rare. I found her in the house of my mark, they were using her in dog fights,” continued to explain the man, crouching down to scratch the poor girl behind her ears. “We released the other dogs in shelters but she was too big and no one wanted to take care of her.”

As both Sasuke and the dog looked at her with big black eyes, Sakura couldn’t help but think that they looked just the same: pleading, sad and hoping for her agreement.

Finally falling into their puppy eyes, Sakura sighed “She’s not going to be dangerous, right?” The Uchiha matriarch asked concerned but defeated “we have Sarada-chan now.”

“I promise you she hasn’t been anything but lovely since I rescued her,” he assured his wife letting go of the dog’s leash “her name is Hime.”

With some gentle encouragement from Sasuke, Hime walked hesitant towards her and Sarada, Sakura gave her a hand to sniff and the dog happily licked her hand.

“Alright Sasuke-kun,” she smiled. “We can keep her.”

Sasuke kissed Sakura full on the lips as a thank you, squeezing their daughter and new dog between them. As Sakura felt Sasuke’s only hand lovingly caressing her neck, she couldn’t help but thank the dog’s new arrival.

It wasn’t the end.

Over the years her loving husband brought over more and more animals. Each one weirder than the other.

After Hime, there was a dark grey peregrine falcon named Masamune that Sasuke found wounded on the woods. The dark haired shinobi built him a majestic bird house in the balcony outside of their room and the bird of prey never left the home after that, even when he was healed of all wounds.

Then there were the cats, lots and lots of cats.

Not ninneko, just regular felines that Sasuke brought over in a regular basis, they had seven cats: one mother and her four babies, alongside two strays. These cats were Sasuke’s only, not like Hime who with the time grew up to become Sakura’s loyal guard dog or Masamune who never left Sarada’s side.

The cats were Sasuke’s, they accepted food from Sakura and they allowed little Sarada to pet them, sometimes, but they were never affectionate with anyone but Sasuke.

The last rescue was a gigantic fish owl with the biggest set of gorgeous golden eyes the kunoichi had ever seen in her life.

Sakura honestly didn’t know who the owl loved more. Sasuke found Sayako dehydrated and almost dead on the dessert, she was the last animal he saved before leaving for good in his years-long mission and they used her as proxy to send letters to each others.

Sayako always preened happily around Sarada, always groomed Sakura’s pink hair and she even hunted fish for the other animals around the house. With Sayako dutifully taking care of everyone on the household, Sakura thought their little family unit was finally completed.

Until Sasuke came back, finally.

He arrived in Konoha in the middle of a crisis, so they didn’t have time to talk until they were back at the house, then, as if he were still the young adult who couldn’t help but take on strays cats he looked at her with those big, bright eyes that were always pleading for something.

“Sakura,” he called, cradling her wife under his arm. They were lying close to each other on the love-seat in front of the TV in the living room, “I found a wounded baby animal hiding in the snow on the way to Konoha…”

Sakura sighed weary, dropping her face on Sasuke’s warm chest and covered herself with the man’s cape “What sort of animal, Sasuke-kun?” She asked, “It’s hard to take care of so many, even with Sarada around…”

“Don’t worry,” consoled Sasuke kissing her forehead “You know I will be here to help from now on, I don’t plan on leaving once again.”

“Really!?” Sakura got up from the comfort of her husband’s chest for the pure excitement his words provoked on her.

Sasuke, not happy with losing the warm feeling of his wife’s body over his chest and under his arm, forced her face down under his collarbone once again. “Never again, wife. I plan on staying.”

“Then I guess,” She blushed, “that we could take on another member for our family,”

“I’m glad you said that,” Smirked Sasuke before clicking his tongue against his palate. “You can enter now, Odoke.” He called.

Sakura was fully expecting another cat, maybe even a snake or a wolf. What she wasn’t expecting was the baby macaque that entered their house easily and sited on the floor in front of them, smiling and peering at them with the big eyes on it’s red face.

“You’re the worst Sasuke Uchiha,” she grumbled “the actual worst.”

“But you love me anyway, Sakura Uchiha,” he smirked, cradling her face sweetly before kissing her deeply on the lips.

She did. She really did.

I Wish I Was the Moon: Interlude in Which Ieyasu Has a Nightmare

Someone on A03 asked for an interlude of poor Ieyasu suffering through adopting MC and related wedding hijinks and I couldn’t resist the idea XD

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

“Ieyasu is starting to look like the more reasonable choice at this point,” Mitsuhide said moodily, casting a sidelong glance at Sasuke, who was studying his hanafuda cards impassively in the flickering lamplight of the bare little room that served as Mitsuhide’s temporary quarters at Kasugayama.

“Leave Ieyasu alone, dammit,” Sasuke muttered, tapping his fingers on his knee absently, as he moved his cards around, listening to the late night wind whisper across the roof.

Meanwhile, in Azuchi…

Ieyasu sneezed violently, which caused him to drop the pestle he had been using, nearly on his foot.

“Oh the hell with it,” he muttered to himself, and decided to call it a night, tidying up his desk and packing away his tools.

A storm was brewing over the castle town, and his manor seemed to be right in the thick of it. The humidity was likely to ruin the dry ingredients anyway, he told himself as he blew out the lamp and crawled into his futon, lulled to sleep by the patter of rain.

“You’ve always had a soft spot for the lass, and I’m still holding out for her to come to her senses and run off to Aoba with me,” Masamune said with a grin, elbowing him in the side despite his withering glare.

“The only soft spot is your head,” Ieyasu said with an irritated sigh.

“The only running you’re going to be doing is from a hail of gunfire, if you can’t restrain yourself, Masamune. Ieyasu, am to I take that as a yes?” Mitsuhide interjected, smile fixed on his face, amusement in his tone.

“It wasn’t a no.” Masamune cut in, wincing as he dumped pepper on the far too bland food.

“Why me? Why not Hideyoshi or Nobunaga?” He asked, eyes narrowed at Mitsuhide.

“Well for one thing, Hideyoshi would never allow any child of his, adopted or not, to marry me, and he’d kick up an endless fuss if Nobunaga did either. Not to mention that Nobunaga has a bit of a habit of, shall we say, over-enthusiastically correcting family members who get in his way. Of course, you and I are equal in rank so it will save everyone a lot of fuss if you agree.” Mitsuhide answered smoothly.

“Yeah, sounds like a strong argument that it should be Nobunaga.” Ieyasu replied, searching Mitsuhide’s unreadable eyes for the elusive truth. “Spit out the real reason, or I’m leaving.”

“Dear me, I think you’ve gotten even less patient if that’s possible. Do try to keep that in check, it’s bad for your health, or so I’m told.” Mitsuhide answered, his smile widening ever so slightly, an irrepressible flicker deviltry in his eyes.

“Thanks for the meal,” Ieyasu said with a nod at Masamune as he stood to leave.

“Oh alright. It’s because she likes you the best out of all of us, other than myself, of course. She still practices archery every single day, you know.” Mitsuhide said with a conciliatory wave.

Ieyasu knit his brows and folded his arms, remembering her earnest insistence that he teach her both how to defend herself and some basic field medicine, and how nothing he said, no matter how blunt, bothered her. Well, it stood to reason that she’d have to have a thick hide to fall in love with the resident fox. If nothing else, the poor girl deserved some kind of formal status to protect her from the inevitable consequence’s of Mitsuhide’s endless scheming.

“Oh, fine.” He grumbled. “Someone has to pick up the pieces when the whole thing explodes in her face.”

“Is that a blush I see? Called it, complete soft spot!” Masamune exclaimed, with a burst of laughter.

“It’s a fever from the irritation of dealing with you two.” Ieyasu shot back with a baleful glare, startled when he glanced back to find Mitsuhide wearing what was, for the first time in all the years they had known each other, an apparently sincere smile.

“That is incredibly unsettling.” Ieyasu said, and frowned. “You make the arrangements, I’ll show up. You can foot the rest of bill yourselves.” He said and turned on his heel.

The adoption formalities had been simple enough, and, he admitted, she really did seem genuinely grateful and pleased that it was him, which was, despite her utter goofiness, a little nice.

He had been goaded by a piqued Nobunaga, (despite knowing better) into preparing what started as a simple set of traditional bridal gifts that quickly became more elaborate, the expense of which left him grumbling that they might as well make Mitsuhide the damn Shogun, for how over the top the entire thing was– the painted screens that had been commissioned ended up delaying the ceremony, not to mention the lacquer wear, writing box, incense and tea ceremony boxes and he preferred to forget what else.

It was a vanishingly small satisfaction to know that his crest would be floating around Mitsuhide’s castle for the next hundred or so years, but he’d take what he could get.

He had thought that was the worst part, having had very little reason to attend any weddings in his life, until Mitsuhide reminded him of the worst part on him with a night’s notice and all the joie de vivre of a fox biting the head off a mouse.

The procession to the shrine had been bad enough, with the entire town watching them and exclaiming on the beauty of the bride and how proud her father must be.

He snapped himself out of his reverie with a quiet snort at the pair of them goggling at each other like particularly brainless fish in the wedding hall, the weirdly sweet expression on Mitsuhide’s face giving the entire business the atmosphere of a ghost story just before the vengeful spirit slaughters everyone.

They drank their cups, and he saw Hideyoshi sniffling into his sleeve as he, sitting behind Mitsuhide in the symbolic role of his father, picked up and held out the prepared cup to exchange with him, which was frankly weird enough, enough until Mitsuhide looked him dead in the eye and without even the slightest hint of levity in his voice said a bunch of utter nonsense capped off with the words ‘honor’ and ‘father,’ at which juncture he was certain his failure to sink through the floor in sheer mortification was evidence of the total absence of mercy in the world.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, then she had to join in the chorus, and it was clearly just as awkward for her as it was for him, which because a sort of flaming wagon wheel of embarrassment whose final stop was apparently hell.

He went through the prescribed motions, trying to ignore Nobunaga and Masamune snickering at his visible wince every time he was cruelly reminded that he had let idiotic sentimentality trap him in a situation where Mitsuhide could, and in fact was obligated, to spend the rest of their natural lives talking to him as if he were responsible for loosing him like a poisoned arrow onto an unprepared world.

“Try to keep it together, Hideyoshi, the worst is over.” Ieyasu said grimly as Hideyoshi dabbed at his eyes with a handkerchief beside him in the procession back to the castle.

“Unlike some people, I have enough heart to cry over tragedies.” Hideyoshi mumbled in response. “I love her like she was my own sister, and yet it’s come to this.”

“Weddings are a perfectly appropriate reason to get a little misty eyed.” Masamune said, with a bittersweet look at the bride.

“You always set such a dignified example, Lord Ieyasu.” Mitsunari said, smiling at him with such a cotton-headed expression that it was almost awe inspiring in its total obliviousness.

“Yes, truly a father one can fully respect.” Nobunaga said with a wolfish grin.

“You can’t honestly tell me you’d be happier if they had to call you father.” Ieyasu snapped back.

“I can, in fact, imagine few things as pleasant as keeping them both under my thumb after they forced me to share the governance of Echigo and Kai.” Nobunaga replied, closing his fan with an emphatic snap.

“Well I wish you’d told me that.” Ieyasu muttered.

“Mitsuhide would never have allowed it, of course. He’d have gone begging to Kenshin or even Shingen before giving me the satisfaction.” Nobunaga said with a smile that was somewhere between admiring and murderous.

“As long as your thwarted ambitions don’t ruin the banquet I spent two days working on I don’t mind, but you know she,” he motioned with his chin, “can hear you.”

“Hmmph.” Nobunaga grumbled, but let the topic drop just the same.

“But just think, when they have children, they’ll be calling you grandpa! Won’t that be sweet?” Mitsunari said considering the future beatifically.

Ieyasu reeled, and fished his handkerchief out of his sleeve to dab away the cold sweat that had beaded on his brow and the back of his neck.

“Our strategist makes a salient point. I retract my objections and congratulate you heartily, grandpa.” Nobunaga said, choking back his laughter.

She hung back at the door to the banquet hall and caught his sleeve, waving a reluctant Mitsuhide onward.

“Well who am I to intrude in such a touching father daughter scene?” Mitsuhide said and strolled off with a snicker.

“Oh, don’t mind him. He’s really as thankful as I am and even though that was awkward, but I wanted to thank you for your generosity and kindness,” she said, smiling shyly.

“It’s really not that big a deal,” Ieyasu answered stiffly.

“Well I insisted to Mitsuhide that we have to show our gratefulness, and since I’m pregnant, I thought it would be better that you know before anything is announced, so I wanted to tell you that we’re naming the baby after you…”

He sat bolt upright with a gasp of horror as the flash of lightning illuminated his room, mopping the sweat off of his brow with the edge of his sleeve, clutching his chest as he collected himself.

“Grandpa…” he mumbled to himself in numb horror as the nightmare receded.

The Sengoku Period: 1460s - 1560

So, when did the Sengoku Jidai start? Honestly, like its namesake I can’t really pinpoint a date but it’s definitely within the realms of the 1450s to 1460s and I’d pick the days when Yamana Sozen declared his allegiance to the succession of the Shogun – Ashikaga Yoshimasa’s son and his son in law, Hosokawa Katsumoto, pledged himself to the Shogun’s brother who had been selected before the child was born. You see this situation time and again in history, all over the world, the brother gest picked because the guy has no son…only for a son to be born. Honestly, the same situation can be seen in the Todo family 130 years later and they were minor for most of their early existence.

In 1467 Yamana would gather troops with another war lord, Ouchi Masahiro and Hosokawa’s home would go up in flames. The game was on.

With rumours that Yamana intended to attack the Imperial palace Hosokawa demanded all of the Imperial family moved, paying no heed to whether these rumours were true or not. In the end Yamana did actually attack the Imperial palace and the fighting between them in Kyoto brought about its destruction. Genuinely, they completely destroyed it. The fighting would go on for months before Hosokawa convinced the Emperor and Shogun to denounce the Yamana as nothing more than rebels and undermine their supporter. Yet, it had little affect and even the deaths of both Yamana and Hosokawa did nothing to lighten up the situation.

Finally the Shogun – you know the big military leader dude, only this one was a little too concerned with poetry to actually control the situation – appealed for these people to disperse and essentially go home. However, it wouldn’t come to an end and Kyoto would still be being destroyed until 1477 when Ouchi Masahiro finally backed down, returning home but not before burning his part of Kyoto. Even with the Onin war over riots and mobs continued to descend on the city and honestly this ain’t ever gonna get better. Well, it is, but not for a long time.

The Onin war is also where we can see elements of the idea of the Western and Eastern armies. Yamana being the west and Hosokawa being the east. In 130 years time we’re going to see the big bang that is Sekigahara, the war that brought an end to the period end in much the same way as the war that started it all. Ishida Mitsunari, commander of the Western army will lose to Tokugawa Ieyasu, commander of the Eastern army, in 1600.

It’s these mobs however, that spelled the rise of the Ji-samurai or common birth samurai. What was once disorganised militias became organised armies and instrumented the rise of a very different kind of Samurai. Before this Samurai had typically been of noble birth but now simple famers and their sons did so as well. Good examples of “farmer” turned Samurai is Toyotomi Hideyoushi himself, who rose from Oda’s sandal bearer to nearly Shogun.

With these armies rising, the Hatakeyama family tearing apart any peace in their bit of the map over a family feud the future looked grim. With Yoshimasa retiring and putting his 15 year old son on the throne things really did turn sour. The Ashikaga’s suddenly seem to go through a time of not producing their own sons. Yoshihisa would produce only the daughter before dying in 1489 at the age of 24, his father taking the throne back and also dying a year later. From then on only one natural son of the Shogun, Yoshimasa, would take over before being followed by the brother who was part of the starting of the war. Then two adoptive sons, the uncle sandwiched between them.

The dominating family of the early Segoku Jidai was the Hosokawa but from what I can tell a lot of their wars were infighting. The Ryo Hosokawa war began in 1507 and was a dispute over who was going to succeed the head of the family, much like with the Shogun. Only this time Hosokawa Masamoto is super duper dead. The war would end when Hosokawa Harumoto defeated Hosokawa Takakuni, only for the entire head family to collapse when Harumoto died in 1563.

Come 1543 the Warring states is in full swing. Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen are beginning to show their capabilities, Mori Motonari is being the hotshot in the south and…the Date…aren’t really doing anything? Oda is 9, Hideyoushi is 6 and Ieyasu is a few months old. Okay, so not much is really going on but the Portuguese have just arrived and this is a big deal because what do they bring with them? Why, guns of course!

This little addition to the Japanese weapon arsenal is going to change the face of Samurai warfare. Even today, many historical figures are depicted in favouring it. Data Masamune’s weapon in Samurai Warriors is a sword and gun, which I think is an appropriate metaphor for how wars were fought now. The addition of guns allowed for distance combat, indeed it was a factor in the bringing down of the “Demon Horsemen of Kai” and if something that sounds that badass can be defeated with guns the you know everything is going to go down.

Update on the Hosokawa, the Miyoshi have just betrayed them and oh boy, that’s one massive screw you to them. Under Miyoshi Nagayoshi the Miyoshi are going to expand their territory and go on regular campaigns against the Hosokawa. Two years later Sue Harukata is going to betray Ouchi Yoshitaka at the incident at Tainei-ji. So, the two biggest players who started this all are out of picture. Just about the write time for the next big one to waltz right in.

Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) is considered the first Unifier of Japan and with good reason. While getting together much of the middle ground of Honshu, he paved the way for Hideyoushi to take up his mantle and for Ieyasu to take over and finish the job. Without Oda the warring states may have gone on longer or at least it would look very different. Without Oda, Hideyoushi wouldn’t have gone through his rise to power, certainly not in the same way at least. Ieyasu is a different matter I’ll get into another time.

So, 1560, it’s a big year. Oda Nobunaga is 26 years old, he’s finally the cemented head of the Oda clan after a succession struggle with his younger brother. That younger brother is now dead and Nobunaga really wants to show his might and his skill. He spies an opportunity at Okehazama.

The Imagawa would invade and a plucky young general, named Matsudaira Motoyasu, would capture one of Oda’s castle, Marune. This plucky little general is the future Tokugawa Ieyasu. At a disadvantage Oda looked for ways he could defeat the Imagawa and honestly, Yoshimoto gave it to him. While sending the Matsudaira to Odaka Castle Yoshimoto rested at Okehazama. This was a place that Oda knew well and really, the hill top ambush did happen.

Yoshimoto, who was so clueless as to what was happening, came out from his tent thinking that only a drunken brawl had broken out. He believed this to such an extent that he ordered the angry samurai running at him with a big spear to go back to his post. Realising that he was actually an Oda man he drew his sword and managed to break the spear, only for a second Oda man to lop off his head. Only two senior retainers would escape Okehazama.

So, what’s happened over the last 100 years. The Hosokawa have been torn apart by infighting and are almost completely powerless while Yamana is nowhere to be seen, their greatest supporters betrayed and decimated by the Sue. The rising stars of the north have risen, the Uesugi are going to play a part to the very end while the Takeda are going to go out with a slightly unimpressive bang in 1575. Our future Western Army leader, Ishida Mitsunari, has just been born as Sakichi and his family currently serve the Azai. He will be fourteen years old when he first rises to any minor prominence and even then, only as an attendant to Hideyoushi. Tokugawa Ieyasu, currently named Matsudaira Motoyasu is finally free of his life as a hostage, joining up with Oda in secret and fearing for the lives of his wife and son who are still in the hands of the down but not out Imagawa.

Finally, Oda Nobunaga has fought his defining battle, the one that has cleared his way to Kyoto and cleared the way for 22 years of plunder before he is betrayed by his loyal retainer, Akechi Mitsuhide.

14, 15, 32, 60!

14. favorite non-chocolate candy?

I don’t really eat non-chocolate! A revelation I came upon in trying to answer this question. The last candy I ate that fits the bill would be a half-coconut half-dulce de leche bar I bought from the mercado down the street. It was good, so, that??

15. favorite book you read as a school assignment?

I’ve said Oscar Wao before, and honestly I’m not sure there’s another novel I read for school that ever stuck with me so.

cunt. bomb. by Jessica Helen Lopez, and Into the Dark & Emptying Field by Rachel McKibbens are chapbooks of poetry I ended up reading for a comparison of modern vs classic female poets at some point (Dickinson-centric maybe??), and I would recommend both for their visceral imagery, relentless tenderness, and unapologetic brutality about the female experience.

I had another class about visual written media- comic books and graphic novels in particular. I loved everything from this class. We read all sorts from Maus by Art Spiegelman, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Watchmen by Alan Moore, The Ghost in the Shell byMasamune Shirow, from the bronze to silver to golden age of superheroes, and so many other incredible stories. It was one of the hardest critical comprehesion classes I can ever recall, but it was so memorable because of the the kind of subject matter. I would recommend all of these cuz they fucked me up and it was awesome, but FAVE FAVE FAVE is SAGA by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples.

It’s a space opera that’s on a whole other level, one of those un-adaptable-to-television sorts due to just everything. It’s main focus is a couple from warring alien races who run away and get married, have a child, and try to survive in a galaxy where everyone is out to get them. It’s got magic, high-tech, so many types of love, powerful and multifaceted characters, gays in space, object heads…. I don’t know it’s crazy, and not everyone’s cup of coffee but I’m still reading the series. (warning for violence, nudity, VIOLENCE, and NUDITY. NOT FOR KIDS.)

Sorry, I get off-topic about this stuff…

32. top five favorite vines?

Too broad a question really. Sara Hopkins, Robby Ayala, Thomas Sanders, David Lopez, and the Eh Bee Family were my favorite vine creators. I couldn’t ever limit myself to just five vines.

60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?

I’m torn between three anime. My Hero Academia, Pokemon, and One Piece. Being born with a super power however mundane would be cool, though I would want to just adopt Izuku as my baby bro to protect him from Bakugou. That kid needs more supportive forces in his life, every mentor is pessimistic and/or cynical and we could do with a change.

Pokemon is increasingly insane but being able to travel freely with my team would be such a dream. I’m the type of person who still has their original sapphire version team with them in the latest game. If I could meet and love my best friends in person I’d die happy there.

One Piece is problematic fave but who doesn’t want to be a pirate in a fantastical world where you can gain really cool -and stupid- powers by eating fruit? Would be so much fun. Oh I would like to punch Akainu right in the dick though.

Of Ninjas and Foxes (SLBP) Epilogue part1

A/N: Epilogue will be in 3 parts. I hope you enjoy!

*****

She looked just like her, but Masamune couldn’t be sure. He walked slowly closer to the woman who was chatting happily to the vendor of a vegetable booth, leaving preoccupied Kojuro behind. Just when he was convinced he was wrong, he heard her laugh when she turned towards him and it felt as if a lightning had struck him. She looked surprised for a moment, stopping to stare at him, but then she smiled at him. Her smile was the same it had been all those years ago. To his surprise, she took a few steps towards him and bowed,

“It’s good to see you, lord Masamune. I hope you have been well,” she said, lifting her head, the smile never leaving her lips. She looked peaceful, something that couldn’t have been further from the truth the last time they had met. That time her eyes had been full of determination, pain and tears, but now she looked… happy. She wore simple, but obviously somewhat expensive kimono, a familiar fan on her obi. Masamune couldn’t but wonder how she felt so different from the young woman he had been with, it obviously was her but… she seemed so confident and sure about herself now. Like she was somewhere where she truly belonged.

“Mooom! I got what you asked for!” a cheerful boy in his early teens came running towards her. She turned and scowled at the boy,

“Masaru…! Where did you leave Ryuu?”

“I… uh… I was sure he was right behind me…” the boy looked bashful for a moment before another teen came to them a crying child in tow,

“Mother, I found Ryuu crying, he said Masaru had left him behind. Again,” the girl sighed and gave Masaru a dirty look, but the boy just grinned at the girl and winked, making her blush.

“____, I…” Masamune started, but suddenly the atmosphere changed completely making Masamune grab the hilt of his sword. The children glared at him their eyes so cold if a stare could kill he would be lying dead on the ground. Masaru pulled his mother behind his back grasping the hilt of the short sword on his hip.

Before he knew, she was surrounded by a bunch of children and teens of various ages, their eyes as cold as steel, staring down at him as if to dare him to take another step towards her. Masamune glanced at her, but she kept smiling happily.

“Children, there is no reason to be concerned. This man won’t harm me, I promise,” she said smiling and just like that the tense atmosphere was gone.

“Yes, mother,” some of the children mumbled their eyes still wary of him, but some of the children just disappeared back to the crowd just as quickly as they had appeared.

“What brings you to Kyoto, lord Masamune?” she asked giving her shopping basket to one of the children and lifting the still crying Ryuu to her arms. Masamune nearly answered looking at the silver-haired boy on her arms, but the cold stare of the child’s coppery red eyes stopped him.

“Mom, are you sure it’s alright for you to speak to him? I think we should leave. If dad hears-“ Masaru started.

“He won’t do anything to me, I know he is not one of those people, your father knows it too,” she cut the red-headed boy short, the soft smile never leaving her lips. Masamune looked at her and the children surrounding her, trying to find something to say when he heard a shout behind him,

“Lord Masamune! I’m so glad I found you, please don’t disappear like that!” lord Kojuro nearly ran to his side, but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her.

“Lord Kojuro! I’m glad to see you are doing well. Children, there is no need to be worried about this man either, don’t worry,” she smiled, as the attention of her small bodyguards shifted to Kojuro, who glanced at them uncomfortable, his hand reaching for the hilt of his sword. Thinking better of it, he forced his hand back to his side,

“____, I wish we could talk to you more, but we really have to go. We have a… meeting shortly… We… I… Lord Masamune could meet you again later,” Kojuro shifted anxiously as the stare of the children turned colder with each word that passed his lips. Masamune had to correct his earlier assessment, these weren’t her bodyguards, this was a tiny army of assassins, each and every one of them ready to kill anyone who dared to even think about harming her. Masamune glanced at her, but she seemed unaffected by the behaviour of the children surrounding her, the smile never leaving her lips.

“I would love that, lord Kojuro. I’ll ask one of my children to tell you where to meet me,”

“…Your… children…?” Kojuro managed to ask, looking at the children around her.

“…There was more before…” Masamune whispered to Kojuro, who turned to look at him, eyes wide.

“Onee-san, do you need help?” Masamune heard a low voice behind him and turned to look at the man, who had addressed her.

“Ah, Sasuke! What are you doing here?” she asked, sounding surprised, but not alarmed in any way.

“Hiyori was worried, so she came to get me,” the man, by the looks in his early or mid-twenties looked at them coldly, before he smiled, “Ah, the One-eyed Dragon and his claws. How nice to meet you. Aneue has spoken about you sometimes.”

“I have to get going too, I hope I’ll see you later!” she waved goodbye and left. The children looked at them for a moment before they too disappeared into the crowd after her.

“Soooo…” Sasuke started after some time, “I hope you won’t be any trouble for her.”

“…No. I just wish to speak to her… If that’s not a problem,” Masamune said.

“If she wants to talk to you, then it’s fine by me,” Sasuke replied looking around casually, “Just don’t do anything stupid, the kids won’t like it if you make her cry.”

“…the kids…?” Kojuro asked unsure, glancing at Masamune’s direction.

“They are not all hers if that’s what you’re asking. Just Masaru and Ryuuzaki. The others… well she kind of adopted them and Saizo didn’t mind.”

“… Is she happy… and safe in here?” Masamune asked after a short silence. Sasuke grinned,

“I’m sure she’s happy with her family. As for her safety… Neither Saizo nor the kids would let anyone harm her again.”

“…Again…?”

Sasuke sighed giving Masamune and Kojuro an exasperated look,

“The One-eyed Dragon who drove a homeless orphan away from him has no right to complain,” Sasuke told him off coldly, then looked to the roof next to them, “I think you’d better go now. I thought you said you were in a hurry. We’ll contact you.”

“We are staying at…” Kojuro started, but Sasuke lifted his hand interrupting,

“We’ll find out, no need to tell your location here where anyone could hear it.”

Masamune glanced at Kojuro, who sighed,

“I guess we’ll go then too, milord.”

*****

Masamune sat in his room drinking tea, waiting for Kojuro to return, when he suddenly looked at his side and found a teenaged girl sitting next to him, staring straight at him with cold eyes.

“You're slow, oyaji,” the girl said.

“… I see…” Masamune replied wondering when the girl had gotten there. He didn’t remember seeing her with her when they had met the other day and he tried to reach for his sword slowly,

“Don’t do that. If I wanted you dead, I could've just left you with the assassins. Mother told me to come here. She has a message for you,” she interrupted him. Masamune halted his hand and brought it back to his lap looking curiously at the girl. She must be one of her children then. The idea brought a faint smile on his lips, but the girl frowned her brows,

“What are you smiling about, oyaji?” she asked irritation clear in her voice. Masamune couldn’t help himself, so he tried to hide his smile behind his teacup. They sat in a silence for a while, before they heard lord Kojuro announce himself. Masamune told him to come in and he stepped through the door, stopping surprised to look at the girl sitting next to Masamune.

“I didn’t know we had guests. It’s a pleasure to meet you miss,” Kojuro said bowing at the girl. The girl nodded her head in acknowledgement before her eyes darted behind Kojuro,

“What are you doing here, you fucking bastard?” she asked coldly.

“I came to see how you were doing, you fucking orphan,” a cheerful voice said and a red head poked to Masamune’s vision behind Kojuro’s back. Kojuro visibly flinched when he heard the boy’s voice behind him, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he stepped in, gesturing the boy to do the same. The boy slumped down next to the girl, who was still scowling at him, but the boy didn’t seem to mind the death glares sent to his way.

“Mom asked when you could come visit her. We live in a restaurant not far away from here, Sasuke-nii said it would be safest to meet there,” the boy said before both kids looked up at the ceiling.

“… You do know there are ninjas in there, don’t you?” the girl asked quietly, her eyes following something Masamune couldn’t see, “Mother said you are an important man, are they after you?”

Headcanon of Mc and her beloved little pet

hello, I love your writing!. Reading texts from you helps me a lot! Could you please write hcs or stories for Mitsunari and Mitsuhide with MC who has a little dog Yukiko whom she loves like a child? The doggie would be well behaved but timid and MC would be very protective over it and give it a lot of her attention

Hey there love! Thank you so much for your kind words @nairil-daeris ! I’m so glad I was able to brighten your day in someway or another, makes me so happy! I am only to happy to write an HC including my two fav Mitsus!<3

lol side note i wrote this in second person cause it feels more personal that way ^_^. Also to all those who submitted match ups.... i am going to move house tomorrow so i most likely wont get to writing them until the weekend! Thanx so much for your patiences guys❤! Also please stay safe during this time of chaos <3 Hope u guys enjoy my 3rd attempt at writing an HC😂🙈

Mitsunari

Your birthday was coming up, and Mitsunari was trying to figure out the best gift to get you. He knew you were slightly jealous of the fact that all the warlords had a pet to love and care for, and you didn’t. You’ve also wanted a little pet to play and snuggle with when Mitsunari was off to war. You know, to keep you company.

Mitsunari had made up his mind to get you your own little pet. He and Kitty hit the markets to find the perfect companion to expand you, little family. Honestly, Mitsunari couldn’t find what he was looking for and started walking back to his manor, feeling a little discouraged. When all of a sudden, kitty jumped out of his arms and ran straight onto someone’s property. Mitsunari looked down in horror when he saw a sweet little black dog chained to a post, starving. Mitsunari looked at kitty and said, “It looks like you’ve found us the perfect addition to our family kitty.” Mitsunari cut the pup free, picked up the two animals, and walked back home with the biggest grin on his face.

He cleaned the little dog up and waited for you to come home. He was positively buzzing with excitement and anticipation. When he heard your footsteps, he quickly placed the doggo in a big box and called you over to come and open your birthday present. You opened the box and instantly lost your heart. You proceeded to very dramatically lift the pup out of the box, and Lion King style lifted her up into the air over your head while loudly singing “Nants ingonyama bagithi baba, Sithi uhm ingonyama” *into to lion king’s circle of life song*. You then proclaimed her name to be Yukiko.

You treated this sweet little dog like a princess. You would bath and groom her and place the cutest little bows in her hair. You would spend hours with her in your lap, stroking her soft fur while you read. Everywhere you went, little Yukiko followed. You even learned from Masamune how to make special dog food just for her.

You were extremely overprotective of your timid little dog and would scold anyone who dare come too close to her. Once day little Yukiko tracked some mud into the castle hallway while looking for you and unfortunate bumped into Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi was not impressed; in a slightly raised tone, he was about to scold the dog when suddenly she yelled and ran away with her tail between her legs. Needless to say, you gave Hideyoshi an earful for scaring your little pup.

Mitsunari wasn’t a jealous lover, but he did miss having your undivided attention. It wasn’t until he saw you playing with Yukiko laughing without a care in the world while she licked your face, that he started to feel a little neglected. That night his sweet lil angel hugged you tight while Yukiko was out playing on the grass and asked you if you still loved him.

You were super confused! Of course, you still loved him, you never stopped.

You looked up at him and started peppering his face with small kisses until that bright, radiant smile that you love was back on his face. Since then, you made sure to snuggle and cuddle with Mitsunari just as much as Yukiko.

Mitsuhide

The two of you were enjoying a pleasant stroll in the market. Suddenly out of nowhere, there was a downpour. The two of you ran hand in hand to take cover in the nearest teahouse to wait out the storm. All of a sudden, Mitsuhide stopped and narrowed his eyes to look down one of the alleyways. You looked up at him in confusion, while straining your ears to figure out what could have made him stop so abruptly in such a big storm. He started walking down the alleyway to get a closer look, and that’s when you saw her. A pitch-black poodle shivering under a makeshift shelter. Mitsuhide picked up the little creature by the scruff of its neck and gave it a look over. You looked at Mitsuhide and squeezed his hand while pleading with your eyes to keep the little pup. Who was he to say no to his sweet little mouse? He cradled the little doggo in his arm and continued on his route with you to find shelter from the rest of the storm.

By the time the three of you got home, you were absolutely drenched. After a warm bath and a change of clothes, you now sat in front of Mitsuhide, while he dried your hair. Sitting in front of you was the little pup whose hair you were busy drying. “so little mouse, whatever shall the new addition to our family’s name be.” You looked back at him, gave him the most dazzling smile, while proudly proclaiming, “her name is to be Yukiko, cause I have a feeling she is going to bring tons of happiness into our lives.” He smiled back at you and thought about how he loved seeing you so excited and happy. He kissed your nose and continued to dry your hair.

That night as you were about to drift off to sleep, you heard a little cry. You looked over at Mitsuhide, who was fast asleep and smiled to yourself. You then got up and walk towards the direction of the sound. You opened the door and saw your little pup. You smiled at your new baby and at the fit she was throwing because she wanted to be in the same room as her two new parents. You picked her up and sat down in the corner of the room, not wanting to disturb Mitsuhide’s sleep. You then started nuzzled into Yukiko’s silky soft fur and cuddled with her until you fell asleep. Mitsu woke abruptly and started reaching out for you, only to discover you were missing from his side. He began to panic when he felt how cold your side of the bed was. He narrowed his eyes and looked around the darkroom. He spotted his lovely little mouse and sweet little Yukiko sitting dead still in the corner of the room. As he approached you, he noticed you were slumped over and fast asleep. Yukiko gave him her best puppy dog eyes as if to ask, “please don’t put me in the other room again.” Mitsuhide looked at your face and saw a small smile, most likely from having the pup snuggled in your arms, he could never deny his beloved any request sleeping or awake. Mitsu just smiles at the pup and pet her head. He kissed you on the forehead, nose, and then cheek. He picked the pair of you up and tucked you back into the futon.

Yukiko became like your child. You doted like crazy on this sweet pup. Teaching her all sorts of little tricks like delivering the warlords mail or even playing dead to mess with Ieyasu. You couldn’t help but feel the need to protect your timid baby from all the scary things in the world. Speaking of scary things, cue Mitsuhide entering the room. You would tug on Mitsuhide’s ear and scold him for continually trying to scare your timid pup. He found it so amusing how the smallest sound would send the pipsqueak running for the hills. Definitely worth the hour-long lecture he received from you.

It’s been a week since you and Mitsuhide had adopted Yukiko, and gosh Mitsuhide was starting to get jealous. You spent all your time with the little dog, and TBH he started feeling a bit neglected. Not to mention the fact that you were super overprotected of her. You wouldn’t even let him pat her anymore as punishment for teasing her so much in the past.

So Mitsuhide devised a plan, each day, he would give the pup extreme amounts of love and attention. He must admit he truly loved the little dog almost as much as you did. It was finally time to play out his plan to win back his little mouse’s attention. He low key wanted you to feel how it felt to be ignored and be second best when it came to cuddles.

He told you how he felt like the dog had taken all your love and affection and that he was starting to feel a lil neglected. All while having the sweetest little blush on his face. Before you could even say a thing, he continued in saying that the two of you were now going to play a game to see who the dog loved most.

If the dog came to him first, he would win and, you would have to tone it down on the over-protectiveness AND give him back all your attention. If the dog ran to you first, you would win, and he would admit he was wrong and adapt to this new lifestyle.

You knew you had this contest in the bag but made a mental note regardless of Mitsuhide’s feelings. You knew this silly game was just a way for him to be honest with you about how he felt. Yukiko was then placed in the center of the room while Mitsuhide moved the opposite side. 3….2….1… GO. Both of you called out to Yukiko in your most enthusiastic voices. You couldn’t help but chuckle a little, at Mitsu’s unusually high-pitched voice trying to catch Yukiko’s attention.

At the end of this little game, you both had lost! Yukiko decided to choose Chimaki, Mitsuhide’s little fox. Yukiko ignored the both of you, walked over to where the fox was resting on the futon and joined him. The both of you looked up at the other and smile in defeat. You two couldn’t help but look and cooed over how sweet the two pets looked snuggled up together.

Mitsu couldn’t help but think at that moment, that the two pets represented you two. One pure white as snow and the other black as the night, a yin to a yang. At the end of the day, you came to a compromise, and now you would sit between Mitu’s legs with his chin resting on your shoulder. His arms would be snaked tight around your waist. He would then occasionally kiss your neck, shoulder, or cheek in these cuddles as a sign of his appreciation and affection. You couldn’t be happier in the arms of the man you loved so dearly while having your two precious children sleeping in your lap. You would just sit there while stoking the two pets and bask in the pure love and happiness of your little family.

11 questions (sort of)

Okay, this is like 11 questions x 10 and w o w thank you to everyone who tagged me in this. I’m so lucky to have met such wonderful people here on Tumblr (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

This post is terribly TL;DR, but I made the usernames large and bolded, just in case the people who tagged me want to read my answers??

P.S. I had fun answering all the questions :3

@shige-haru

1. Have you ever had an experience people might think of as supernatural, like seeing something you couldn’t explain? Noooooope. Call me lame, but I always try to find a way to explain something creepy. But that's probably because I'm a scaredy cat and I don't want to believe that I saw something ~supernatural~

2. Do you think you could figure out how to get your bae’s fundoshi off or would you need to borrow his sword IF THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

3. What was the last dream you had? OK, as of this writing, I had the straaangest dream just this morning! It involved me deliberately killing my cat and setting my house on fire. Wtf.

4. What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen? I’m picky when it comes to movies, so I usually don’t watch a movie with bad ratings/reviews haha. Besides, I find movies with terrible acting and/or script hilarious.

5. What’s your weirdest fear? Hmmm, it's not really a fear, but more like, something I avoid?? I usually don't call people by their names unless I'm sure we've become friends, so I end up just poking them to get their attention. I am awkward like that ; u ;

6. What, as specifically as possible, were you afraid of as a child? I was afraid of bald people. My older brother shaved his head once, and I think I cried when I saw him.

7. You can join the world of any franchise you like (no need to be super realistic about your own abilities). Which one do you choose? Harry Potter!!! I wanna be a wizard :(

8. What’s the most delicious food you’ve ever eaten? I had this reaaaaally good leche flan (it’s a custard of some sort) that my boyfriend gave me. I teared up a little while eating it.

9. You have to become an animal. What do you choose? Cat!

10. Do you like walking in gravel? I don't think I've walked in gravel enough times for me to tell if I like it or not. Haha.

11. Have you ever ridden a horse? Yes, when I was younger!

@singokumaiden

8. If you were to adopt one of the SLBP guys as your children, who would it be? MITSUNARI! Let me give him all the love he deserves huhu.

9. What do you think of me; @dreamsinparadise? You're sweet, friendly, and easy to talk to! You also have great ideas for your fics ( ´ ▽ ` )

10. Give 3 words to describe your 2D man Thoughtful, hardworking, handsome :3

11. Are these questions fun, heartbreaking or humoring for you? Did you enjoy them?? They're fun, and I enjoyed them! Thank you~

@nekopri

1. What’s your favourite time of day? Any time as long as I get to sleep. X'D

2. Milk based ice-cream or a fruit based one? Milk!

3. 3 things you think of when you wake up? “Morning already??” “5 more minutes...” “Ugh.”

4. Latest shower thought? Should I sleep, or should I study? Should I eat before sleeping? X’D

5. Would you rather the temperature be 40 °C or -20 °C ? -20 °C with lotsa blankets/sweaters (but the coldest I've experienced is like 20 °C and I was already weak. Lmao.)

6. The weirdest thing you have ever eaten on a whim? Instant noodles with rice. Carbs on carbs is just... too much. (I did it because I was broke ahaha college is gr8.)

7. Are you more comfortable showing affection verbally or physically? Neither. I'm awkward when it comes to showing affection D:

8. What’s your default sleeping pose? Lying on my belly! But recently I've been sleeping on my side, because I usually end up drooling if I sleep lying ventrally lmao.

9. What’s your ideal pet? C-A-T.

10. Favourite scene from a book/movie/tv show? Here's the thing. I don't really have favorites since I'm usually ~in the moment~ whenever I read or watch something. Then after some time, the feelings kind of fade and I forget about the scene. Lmao. So I guess I have favorites for a certain moment of time but not like, a favorite in general. (Ok I am rambling now ; u ; )

11. Prettiest cow bread? I am serious

So I looked up “cow bread” on Google, and this seems to be a decent candidate for prettiest cow bread:

If you meant cow bread, then I'd have to say Holstein-Friesian! I haven't seen a lot of cows in person, and most of them are just the native cows which are brown, so when I first saw Holstein-Friesians, I was all “omg they're so pretty, they're just like the cows on milk cartons!”

@i-dont-look-good-i-look-great

1. Fuck, Marry, Kill; top 3 least favorite Lords

(I hope nobody hates me for my choice of least favorite lords HUHU. It's only because I haven't done their MS yet!!!) Fuck – Saizo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Marry – Yukimura Kill – Kojuro huhuhu

2. Why are you attracted to your favorite lord/lords? BECAUSE HIDEYOSHI IS PERFECT. Lmao. Kidding aside, he's just so likeable, you know?? Not to mention he's so cute????

3. Between your two favorite lord, who would you save (only one)? I'd save Hideyoshi. (Sorry, Masa!)

4. If you can meet all 12 lords, how will you spend your day with them? I kind of want them to just pamper me. HAHA. Like, it's not everyday that I get to experience a reverse harem lmao might as well make the most out of it.

5. If you only have 24 hours left to live, how will you spend it and why? I'd go sky diving, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, etc. with my friends/family because YOLO.

6. When was the last time you’ve ever embarrassed yourself? I embarrass myself all day, err'day. X’D

7. What inspired you to become who you are today? My father. :')

8. Places you dream of visiting one day Japan and the UK!

9. Which character in SLBP do you mostly want an MS of? HANBEI! #BringBackHanbei2k17

10. What would you give your lord on his birthday? or what would you like your lord to give you on your birthday? For his birthday, I'd give him myself :>

11. Recommended routes? Definitely Ieyasu's! It has the best character development, IMO. And the MC is just wonderful. I give his route a 10/10.

@shioune

1. Do you ship yourself with any of the voltage men? Or do you have any favorite, who? HIDEYOSHI. You already know why. Hahaha.

2. Would you really date them if they exist in your life and is interested in you? YES!!! But tbh, I think I'd be more attracted to guys like Mitsuhide IRL.

3. Your top three SLBP lords. Or any game from your choosing. But you can only choose three guys from one title. Hideyoshi Masamune Mitsunari (because I recently finished both endings~)

4. Now, fuck marry kill from those choices : ) I’m satan incarnate, y’know. EYYYY. Fuck – Hideyoshi :3 Marry – Masamune Kill ??? nuuuu – Mitsunari

5. What’s the last thing you daydream about? I’m gonna be shameless here and admit that I often find myself daydreaming about the SLBP lords ; u ; On a less otome trash note, I also daydream about food. X’DD

6. Do you prefer hugs or kisses and are you the kind of person who would initiate them? I'm too awkward for either of them ha ha. I almost never initiate them ; u ;

7. A song you’re really into these days and a song you associate to your fav lord/prince/character (idk, i mean what if slbp isnt ur fav game, im giving you options here bc im a sainttan) I watched La La Land a few weeks back but I still can't get “City of Stars” out of my head. The song I associate with my favorite lord(s) is by a local band (I've already mentioned it, but lemme just say it again because this post is too TL;DR) - “Wala Nang Hihilingin” by Sugarfree. The chorus roughly translates to, “If every night you sleep by my side, you don't know how much happiness you’d bring. If you can hear the beating of my heart, it is saying that while you are in my arms, there's nothing more that I could ask for.” HUEHUE cheesy, right??? Another song – and equally cheesy – is “I Will” by The Beatles :3

8. Do you love Oyamada Nobushige? Well, I wouldn't say /love/, but he has aged pretty well. *cough*

9. What’s your favorite food and to what length will you go to get it? I'd kill for ice cream. Especially when I'm PMS-ing. Mehehe.

10. If you can time travel to any period and any country, where would you go? Why that period/country? Sengoku period in Japan because Hideyoshi???

11. And lastly would you consider donating pearls to me? LOL NO IM JOKING last question is, late at night and you’ve been feeling out of it for a while and your bae (your 2D bae ofc) text messages you. Who’s your bae and what does the message say? OF COURSE I WOULD, BB. Except I'm broke rn huhuhu. Hideyoshi~ I think a simple “I love you. :)” message would do the trick ahuehuehue. I am trash ; u ;

@wizardesslover

1. What’s your favorite voltage app right now and why? SLBP! It's the only Voltage app I play. Heh.

2. Who’s your favorite character? Hideyoshiiii~

3. What is your least favorite voltage app? N/A

4. Who’s your least favorite character? Probs Lord Juami. But Yasumasa's face annoys me. Lol.

5. Who’s your ultimate voltage OTP? ME x HIDEYOSHI. Also, MC x Masamune because they're so sweet ; u ;

6. Who’s the hottest voltage character? HIDEYOSHI. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS ABS? (Bias aside, I think Inuchiyo's the hottest because he's a ~typical~ samurai i.e., tall, lean, long-haired. Mmm.)

7. Who’s your funniest voltage character and why? Tadatsugu when he’s being all “No, don’t pull out my hair, milord!” Kenshin when Kanetsugu is being a mom.

8. Who is your favorite MC? The MC in Ieyasu's route!

9. What is your favorite moment with your bae? :3 Tbh, every moment. Mehehe.

10. Kiss, Marry, Avoid. Kiss – Hideyoshi Marry – Masamune Avoid – Mitsunari in a foul mood

11. Who’s route took you by surprise? Ieyasu's. I didn't expect it to be so g r e a t.

@moonlight-nightingale

1.How did you get into fandom? What was your catalyst to finding the Tumblr community? I was on break from uni, and I got bored so I downloaded the Tumblr app. At first, I looked at Haikyuu! posts, but then found out that SLBP posts exist... then, ta-da!

2. Favourite quotes from slbp ? Oooh, I have a lot!

3.Which lords route do you like the most, and which one you dislike the most? Why? I liked Ieyasu's the most. Character development was on point, and the MC was likeable! I guess I liked Mitsuhide's the least, but mainly because there was so much potential and it turned out flat??? It's a shame too, because Mitsuhide's story events are wonderful!

4.Other than slbp, what are you addicted to recently? SLEEP. Hahaha.

5. If you are living in the slbp universe, and you had been granted to have a power or special ability (ex: invisible), what is your special ability? And what will you do with it? The ability to fly? (Me to Hideyoshi: I could show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendiiiid~)

6.If you and your fav lord are chosen as tribute for your district to enter the Hunger Games, what will you do? I'd probs pull the same stunt that Katniss did and be all “let's die together~!”

7.Imagine you are a demigod, Whom daughter you think you are? (Ex: Poseidon, Zeus, Hades) why ? I’d probs be the daughter of Zeus... because lbr, he has so many children and it’s hard to keep count lmao. (Sorry I can’t answer this question more seriously because my background on Greek mythology is poor ; u ; )

8.If you are a voice actor, which lords do you prefer/want to cast as ? (Don’t need to be realistic ) Mitsuhide??

9.If you are granted 3 wishes, what will you wish for? 1. To graduate from vet school ; u ; 2. For Hide to be real??? More money. Lmao. 3. Sensible national leaders???

10.If you can meet your 10 yrs past self what will you tell to your past self? Take a 4-year course in uni so you can graduate sooner. Lol.

11.What do u think of me? You are wonderful~ (o˘◡˘o)

Winter Anime* 2017 Lightning Review

*just the shows I watched of course

Shows included - ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka, Ai Mai Mi: Surgical Friends, Akiba’s Trip The Animation, All Out!!, BanG Dream!, Chain Chronicle, Chaos;Child, Demi-chan wa Kataritai, ElDLive, Fuuka, Gabriel Dropout, Gintama., Hand Shakers, Kemono Friends, Kobayashi-san chi no Maid Dragon, KonoSuba S2, Kuzu no Honkai, Little Witch Academia, Masamune-kun no Revenge, Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu, Mori no Yousei: Kinoko no Musume, Nobunaga no Shinobi, Nyanko Days, One Room, Onihei, Piace: Watashi no Italian, Pokemon Sun & Moon, Sangatsu no Lion, Seiren, Spiritpact, Urara Meirochou, Youjo Senki

Settle in for some long reviews, and probably the worst reviewed season since I started doing this! Wow!

ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka It’s a MADhouse production, so I went in pretty sure I would like it. I was a bit wrong on my first impression; I thought it would be a man on the run type show, but it was actually a more nuanced, spy-that-doesn’t-know-he’s-a-spy type story. I liked the character design. It reminded me of some of the manga series in the “non-moe art” tag on Dynasty Scans. I was in love at first sight with Director General Mauve, voiced by Atsuko Tanaka (Motoko, Ghost in the Shell), and hoped she would play a bigger role than she actually did. I was completely taken off guard by Jean’s confession of his feelings for Grossular at the end, which Mauve had in common. If it had to be someone, I would have guessed it to be Niino, in the old ‘observer falls for subject’ cliche. Still, a welcome, and very low-key revelation that is certainly welcome. The music is really great in this series, especially the intro and outro themes. I would have like for some of the female cast members to have more to do; there were seemingly more women in the show, but they hardly ever had any relevancy. Also, a bit more action or urgency would have been nice. It felt towards the end like this would be called “the hipster’s anime”. Definitely recommended. 9/10

Ai Mai Mi: Surgical Friends Just as ridiculous as ever, though it had some oddly serious parts in some episodes as well. I am appreciating more and more the bit during the credits of each episode where an alpaca recounts an awkward tale of the life of the mangaka who writes AMM. I think the randomness is wearing thin now though. 7/10

Akiba’s Trip The Animation I had never played the game before so I didn’t really have any idea what this was about besides being located in Akihabara. It had a lot of parallels with Punch Line, which I noted in my first impression, just chock full of references and insider humor that I think ended up being lost on a lot of the Western viewers (including me, obviously.) I enjoy the first eight or so episodes, but right when most probably thought it got interesting, for me it was like I just couldn’t stand to watch it anymore. I ended up skimming through the last episodes, but honestly, unless you are REALLY into Akihabara as a culture or just otaku interests in general, I would pass on this show, sadly. Having to watch the idol performance more than once was torture. 6/10

All Out!! The not-so-subtle pattern that is emerging in my anime viewing habits, is that I will start a sport or game series, as soon as it becomes entirely focused on the sport or game itself, I lose interest almost immediately. The same unfortunately happened here; as soon as they hit training camp, it was like I was watching a completely different show, and just couldn’t stand to even skim through it at the end. They can’t all be winners, and even MADhouse can’t be perfect all the time. Dropped

BanG Dream! My first impression was pretty much right on the nose; this is literally what would happen if the people behind Love Live adapted K-On. The melodrama of Love Live with similar archetypes to K-On. Unfortunately, no super gorgeous teacher steps in to help, and instead of a school they have to save the local girls-only concert venue by playing a pop rock version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I wish I were kidding. Not horrible or offensive, but just felt like a phoned in effort from the waifu buffet factory. 6/10

Chain Chronicle Sadly I just kind of forgot this show was even on, even though it showed signs of promise, I just couldn’t bring myself to care enough to catch up on it. Dropped

Chaos;Child The edgiest of edge. It made me appreciate the GOOD parts of Occultic;Nine that much more. I might have watched more if the adaptation of the prequel (episode zero) wasn’t just about the most boring thing I’ve watched in years. Dropped

Demi-chan wa Kataritai Top 3 of the season. It definitely felt less wacky than the manga, but I was okay with that. Satou-sensei stole the show, but Machi held her own in my opinion. It was funny to see how fast people tried to turn on the show when Hikari made Machi’s body hug Sensei and he was embarrassed because her boobs pressed into him when he wasn’t expecting it. However with a certain maid being INCREDULOUS, that movement died out before the next episode even came out. It was a good adaptation, and I think may just be my “comfy” show of the season, though again, a certain maid gave it a run for it’s money there too. 9/10

ElDLive I stand by my previous Space Patrol Luluco comparison. It was silly for the sake of being silly, but tried to add various chuuni and action tropes in to spice it up. To be quite honest this was a bit of a stinker, and only watched it for Misuzu to see if she grew any over the season (she did, but just the tiniest bit.) 4/10

FUUKA This was basically KimiKiss Pure Rouge but flipped love interests and included music to make more money off of the property with. It doesn’t do anything new or interesting, and it wasn’t satisfying at all. Like even knowing that Fuuka would end up being the girl the protag had feelings for, I still thought that maybe, just maybe she would do SOMETHING endearing in the least, but no, she just kind of was a brat at all points. Everything was really pretty, but zero substance. 3/10

Gabriel Dropout I think I started reading the manga for this before reading Demi-chan or Maid Dragon, so it’s kind of a surprise that of those three, this felt like the weakest effort. Something was lost in translation to animation to take away the magic presented in print. It was still enjoyable, it just didn’t have the punch I was expecting it to have, and I don’t know if it’s the low key music or the voices or what. Calling it a disappointment is going too far for me, but I certainly thought it would be better. 7/10

Gintama. Top 3 of the season. Pretty much just the adaptation of a single story arc, but an important one. Also, a super kick-ass, pulls no punches season. Loved the hell out of this show before, but this took it to a whole new level. I mentioned in my first impression that the period was a bit scary, but I now see that it was more of an affirmative statement, “GINTAMA, period.” 10/10

Hand Shakers This was really bad. Like, it’s a known thing that this show is bad. It was excruciating to give this show three whole episodes, but I managed it somehow. As admirable as it is that they went out on a limb to make their own original series, that doesn’t save it from being an over-designed, poorly thought out mess of a show. Dropped

Kemono Friends I just want the record to show that I was on board with this show from the very beginning, whereas the MAL user score was as low as 4.2 at the start of the season. It’s the innocence of Serval mixed with the goofiness of the friends, rounded out by the mystery of Kaban that give this show it’s oomph. The character design is really great too. Basically what it boils down to is that this show has four or five things that the internet typically hates when it comes to an anime, yet somehow captured the hearts thousands, from 4chan to tumblr and everywhere in between. It’s hard to imagine this not getting a second season of some kind, whether it’s a continuation of this season or an adaptation of the manga. 9/10

Kobayashi-san chi no Maid Dragon Top 3 of the season. A loving relationship between two adult women, albeit each loves the other in a different way (or do they?) A nurturing and caring relationship between an office worker and a young girl she adopts on sight. A family unit of two moms and a daughter that works. A dragon woman with giant boobs teasing a young boy that meant to summon a demon. Well, okay that last one isn’t exactly the squeaky-cleanest thing to happy this season, but the people who demonize this show because of it are missing out on an other wise great and potentially important series. I was surprised to find this was a KyoAni series; they tend to work in a very specific style, so the fact that this turned out looking anything like the manga is a miracle of it’s own, I think. Once I knew it was KyoAni though, I could see their thumbprints everywhere; the suddenly very poignant moment with great lighting and super appropriate music is something they’ve managed to perfect almost to a fault (to where it feels forced), but the couple examples in this show just added to the already cute moment that was happening. I am writing this the week before the finale, which features the dreaded anime killer Big Boobs Loli, but having read what comes after her initial appearance, I think that, should this get a second season, people will understand her character once the story moves forward (though the big boobs thing is kind of ridiculous, admittedly.) A wonderful, lovely, heart-warming supernatural comedy. 10/10 highest recommendation

KonoSuba S2 I may get some flak for this, but I felt there was a noticeable drop in quality between seasons. The writing was still good, and the performances as always were hilarious, but the animation seemed to have worsened quite a lot. I haven’t read any BTS for this series but it seemed like some of the more involved shots were rushed. Darkness continues to steal the show for me, even though I know Megumin is everyone’s waifu. I think it’s because I tend to always gravitate towards the girl in a show like this that has the least chance of ending up with the protagonist (Nisekoi, Toradora, Zero no Tsukaima, etc.) Not bad by any means, but I’m concerned for a season three should it happen. 8.5/10

Kuzu no Honkai Despicable trash. Soap opera level characters with midnight softcore love scenes between teenagers, some of which are borderline rape at best. Not even the legit lesbian love interest could keep me watching this show, that should tell you everything. Five episodes makes about 90ish minutes of my life I’ll never get back. Dropped, avoid

Little Witch Academia This didn’t quite get the hype I thought it would, but it still seems most people that watch it are enjoying it immensely. However, I feel like it may be losing steam a bit, which is worrisome since it still has 12 episodes left to go through. It’s a bit frustrating to watch sometimes as someone who watched the first two movies/OVA, waiting for things like Ursula to be revealed as Chariot, and for Akko to get to a respectable level of magic use, things like that. I do enjoy the extra development that Lotte and Sucy have gotten, and I hope it extends to Diana, Amanda and some of the more prominent girls too. Continues!

Masamune-kun no Revenge The show had a bit of a twist on the usual formula, but by the fifth or sixth episode it was pretty clear it was the same old contrived tsundere harem romance series. When the guy seems to have some redeeming qualities, I can stomach a show like that for the sake of decent characters and performances, but this just ended up being a chore to watch. Even the debut of a late game older woman/love interest’s retainer wasn’t enough to save the show for me. I can’t see myself tuning in to a second season of this without some kind of huge plot twist like a female rival that the love interest is actually interested in (ha ha HAHAHAH) 5/10

Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu In my first impression of this show, I wondered if it would be as dumbed down as the previous season’s cycling anime whose name I’ve already forgotten. It is. It’s basically the same show but with more characters. Has a good, cute sensei, but also has generic foreign student trope character, which was insufferable because she was basically the same character as the foreigner in Akiba’s Trip. Dropped

Mori no Yousei: Kinoko no Musume The amateurish charm I thought I saw in the first episode of this show quickly dissolved into frustration. If it had been a high school clubs project, then I would have supported them whole heartedly, but this seems like a bad mobile game cash-in, and unfortunately it came out in a season that had a GREAT mobile game cash-in. Dropped

Nobunaga no Shinobi The first season ends, but the second season starts in like two weeks, so I’m tempted to not even include this, because it’s silly that it will be considered separate seasons. It’s a charming, and surprisingly bloody show about feudal Japan and for those that have studied the history of that time period, there are some great gags pertaining to certain figures not shown in the best of lights. 8/10

Nyanko Days Once again, this was just a cute fluff series that hopefully paves the way for Nukoduke. If you need a cuteness shot in the arm between heavy shows, this is a good choice. 8/10

One Room My hopes that they would keep the viewer genderless were dashed pretty quickly with a onsen episode early on, and then the sickening imouto arc in the middle. The final four episodes featuring the childhood friend chasing her dreams was the redeeming factor here, I would recommend just watching those episodes to be honest. 6/10

Onihei One of the better shows of the season. It has a different vibe to anything else on at the moment, probably because the source was originally published fifty years ago. There is very little that is lost in translation, and I think it plays well to the modern audience. There is a bit of a problem with character design, which @fucktsunderes pointed out to me, that because there’s more realism to it, some of the characters end up looking pretty similar. Actually, not just some, but a lot. To the point where I wasn’t sure if a character that died was a character that I liked or not until they showed up in a later episode. Other than that though, a great crime thriller action show. 9/10

Piace: Watashi no Italian After an incredible year of short form series in 2016, it’s an odd feeling to only have Piace as a stand out show this season. It was just the right about of silly and cute, while also being about food and food service. A highlight is the outro being sang by two different cast members each week, with the finale having everyone singing. 9/10

Pokemon Sun & Moon The most fun I’ve had watching pokemon since I was a kid, fantastic show. I am somehow even more in love with Japan’s Musashi than America’s Jesse. I am definitely on the Mao/Lillie ship. Also the only theme song this season that I listened to for every single episode, it is so awesome. Continues!

Sangatsu no Lion As I covered in my review for All Out, when a show has a game or sport in it, if it becomes too focused on that game or sport, I lose interest quicker than a hiccup. It’s a good show, but the shogi was just not the good part of the show for me. I enjoyed Rei’s interactions with his sister and the three Kawamoto girls the most of the whole season. It’s when the show felt the most alive and relatable to me. Not to mention Momo is just too darn cute. Shaft does cute very well, and also does cold depression very well, too. A spinoff with the Kawamotos as the star would be the ideal second season for me, but I will continue to watch just about anything Shaft decides to gift to us. 8/10

Seiren I should have dropped this show, but I didn’t for some reason. The middle arc was definitely the best, the epilogue was really cute too. Not really much to say about this series, it just kind of was there every week. One of those “each path of the romance vn is animated” shows, so your mileage may vary. 6/10

Spiritpact Yaoi bait adapted from a Chinese comic iirc. The main characters were both unbearable, and the way they treated the first significant female character in the show was gross, so I dropped this quicker than a hot rock. Dropped

Urara Meirochou Controversial opinion time: This show would have been better without Nono and Koume. They added nothing to the story that couldn’t have been done by either Kon or Chiya, and honestly the four girls thing is so over-done that I end up comparing it mentally to all the shows I’ve already seen before I even watch the first episode. The teacher and the... morals officer? Whatever Saku was stole the show, with some great late game performances from Kon’s mother. It was a cute show, and I’ll watch another season if it gets one, but I’d like it to be a bit more focused on the divining stuff going forward, or at least more focused on Kon and Chiya. 8/10

Youjo Senki Not really sure about this show. I spent the first half of the season mistakenly thinking it was glorying the third reich, but even after being corrected, I still didn’t really understand who I was meant to support or sympathize with. I end up rooting for Tanya a lot of the time because I understand a lot of the anti-theological sentiment she has, but I’m not sure that’s really the intent... Like in the last episode, we see the young daughter of the man who was killed by Tanya after encountering more than once enlisting in what is the equivalent of the American army. Rather than sympathy and compassion for what is obviously a scared young woman going for revenge, I felt pity, because I know far too many people in real life who FROG it up big time (that being ‘full relying on God’, btw) when any sort of hardship comes their way. I don’t really think I could watch a second season of this, it would have to be more than just ‘Tanya pushes back against Being X, BX recruits someone else, etc’, like, if Tanya went the whole season pushing back but never heard a peep out of BX, and started to wonder how much of it was just in her head, and began to doubt the things she remembered from her past life, that would be intriguing, but I don’t really see it heading that way. Also, not nearly enough Visha screen time for my taste. 7/10

What would you give to your SLBP bae as a memento if they are going to war? a charm. for protection, something i’ve prayed with for weeks maybe every night in a row. may the force prayer be with you.

Your bae had struck a faustian contract with (demon!au) you for the price of his soul and you finished your services after some time. If you chose not to consume him after the contract, it would cost you your life but he would live, while if you consume him his soul would be with you forever in your body (but you can never touch him or hear him again). Which would you prefer? Why? i probably would not consume him and not for some cheesy schmessy reasons like “oh, hes the love of my life” either but really i just am not comfortable with the idea that someone will be living inside me? i don’t mind losing the bae, i can always find another bae but the thought that he’s inside me and can communicate to me and living inside me LOL no. my body and mind and soul is mine alone. i’d die, but i’d die my own person (my own demon? lmao).

What kind of wedding would you like with your bae? simple. i never like big weddings surrounded by people i don’t even know or care about. i’ve always liked the idea of an outdoors wedding as well, been to a few of those and loved it. i’d get married in amy pond’s wedding dress since it’s been my dream since forever but also not bc i cant see myself marrying anyone.

If you were to adopt one of the SLBP guys as your children, who would it be? sakon is my child. don’t even with me. he’s my precious baby boo. also yasu and mitsun.

What do you think of me; @dreamsinparadise? i actually really really enjoy the times when i catch you on my dash, which is really not very often seeing the colossal amount of blogs i’m following, but i do like it and reading your things esp thoughts on slbp LOL let’s talk anime too but i’m so awkward lmao creeps back to my cave

Give 3 words to describe your 2D man teasing wicked smile *wink* this applies to most of my 2S baes LMAO

Are these questions fun, heartbreaking or humoring for you? Did you enjoy them?? i enjoy them actually! i have a lot of fun answering these! the situations and everything gives me muse to write? lmao stop me. i love them baby, thank you for tagging me!

Fuck, Marry, Kill - The Magistrate, Masamune’s Mother, Retainer #2 hmmmm marry masamune’s mother and show her that the real deal is with girls, no wonder you’re not happy, you’re surrounded by males sighs (jk but lmao), kill the magistrate, maybe fuck retainer #2. don’t really see it happening as i have rly low libido, probs close to ace rly, but hey if i have to choose.

Your favorite lord poofs into existence before you! What happens next? omg, hide????? i’d tackle him into a hug and just spend hours cuddling and sleeping tbh. i love cuddles, i live for cuddles.

What’s something you bought recently that you really shouldn’t have? :ccccccccccc reward points on several shades of sadism :ccccccc

Do you have any pets? i had 3 rabbits and a dog, they ded. old age and sick.

How long have you been playing SLBP? i honestly don’t remember? this is like, a question i can never answer bc i have rly whacked up sense of time LMAO

If you could go on vacation to any destination in the world, where would you go? lucca, italy. LOL. i know it’s very specific but i really love lucca. also where else can u see gemma galgani?

Would you let your favorite lord do your hair and makeup for you (you’d have to wear it out in public)? yessss, i trust hide tbh LOL, he wouldn’t go anywhere really crazy. and he’d put us in consideration when choosing. and did you read his birthday story, he has great tastes.

Who has a better butt - you or Mitsunari? me. (im laughing at how quick i come to this answer). idk i work out daily. but probs mitsunari, he does too. idk i havent seen his butt. i need to see his butt. someone send me the butt.

If you could travel into the SLPB universe to have an amazing makeout session with one lord and one lord only, who would it be? do you really need to ask? there’s only hide for me ˉ̞̭(′͈∨‵͈♡)˄̻ ̊

Now, my questions.

Do you ship yourself with any of the voltage men? Or do you have any favorite, who?

Would you really date them if they exist in your life and is interested in you?

Your top three SLBP lords. Or any game from your choosing. But you can only choose three guys from one title.

Now, fuck marry kill from those choices : ) I’m satan incarnate, y’know.

What’s the last thing you daydream about?

Do you prefer hugs or kisses and are you the kind of person who would initiate them?

A song you’re really into these days and a song you associate to your fav lord/prince/character (idk, i mean what if slbp isnt ur fav game, im giving you options here bc im a sainttan)

Do you love Oyamada Nobushige?

What's your favorite food and to what length will you go to get it?

If you can time travel to any period and any country, where would you go? Why that period/country?

And lastly would you consider donating pearls to me? LOL NO IM JOKING last question is, late at night and you’ve been feeling out of it for a while and your bae (your 2D bae ofc) text messages you. Who’s your bae and what does the message say?
