🤍°•FAQs•°💛:
🌟Q:what's your favorite fandom?
A: thomas and friends and this blog will be based with it thank you very much✨✨
_
🌟Q: what's your favorite characters from your favorite fandom?
A: James, Duck, Thomas, Gordon, Percy, Oliver and Toad, Donald and Douglas, Marion, Skiff
_
🌟Q: As for the engines, in their human form, can they fuck or reproduce?
A: Unfortunately, they can fuck whatever or whenever they want but they can't reproduce or have kids because they don't have biological hormones or DNA or whatever it's called like a normal human being
_
🌟Q: what are the ages in your Au?
A: 3 years until 60 years, There are those who are older than this, but I limit myself to these ages because I want them to be limited
_
🌟Q: what are your self insert's sexualities?
A: Every self insert into a random fandom has its own sexuality, for example my versions, I can't let all my versions being Asexual, bc if I let them it'll be boring so I tried to diversify their sexualities, for example Soft Jessy is lesbian, Bad Jessy is trans, Galaxy is pan, ect...
But fo the other fandoms I usuelly let them bi or pan or even straight to make sure that everyone has its lover/soulmate/partner/boyfriend/girlfriend...
_
🌟Q: how did you make your Oc's and are they real or imagined?
A: I made them randomly so that I don't feel like I'm filming the videos alone and that they aren't real people, I made them according to their personality, their life, the story of their past, etc.
_
🌟Q: who are your besties?
A: 🎧@miasonyson🎧
💞@lovable-chica💞
💎@asktoyokoakemi💎
💜@viktuurishipper96💜
🎀@bertramtheoldwarrior🎀
🌠@blueskygirl22🌠
🎩 @jammyjams1910🎩
💖@just-an-emily-existing💖
💟@prometheus2007💟
🐾 @thefluffyrailway-official 🐾
_
🌟Q: are you doing art requests?
A: yes I do them,like if someone asks me to draw anything about TTTE Au or other fandoms Aus, But for their Oc's they just have to wait until June because it's summer and i will be active anytime
_
🌟Q: Are you gonna do art commissions?
A: Yes, I do them and I really want to, because I need some money to help my parents, so now I am waiting for someone to ask me
_
🌟Q: How tall are the engines?
A: Well, in terms of height, the shortest is Toad and Percy is the second shortest engine and he's almost 5’8ft,and the tallest engine is Gordon, The flying scottsman, Spencer and Diesel 10.Their hight is 7’11ft because they're big and tender engines
_
🌟Q: Does Lady's magical dust have any benefit or any influence on the rest of the engines?
A: Yes, it definitely has a benefit for the engines. Thanks to it, it can save them from becoming victims of scrap, or if something physically harms them in their human form, it comes and treats them because ordinary doctors cannot treat human engines
🎀°•some basics of my Au•°🎀:
🌟some of my oc's transform into their true forms for many special reasons, for example demons, wolves, rabbits, etc., but the duration of this transformation is specific
🌟These reasons in particular may be either psychological, such as sadness, shame, and the desire to feel lonely and calm, or physical reasons
🌟The characters are distinguished from each other by their superpowers and magic, which makes them 100% different from ordinary humans
🌟Each one of us has his own personality, and this is the result of their personalities and feelings being different
🌟Characters can fuse and create new characters, but only if three basic conditions are met: If the two characters have a relationship of love, brotherhood, or strong friendship, If these conditions are not met, they will not be able to fuse
🌟ech character has a rival with another character, The reasons are as follows: Either he had a bad past, or that person was famous and forgot about his friend, and so on
🌟as for the humanized engines, their blood is a bit darker than a normal human being, and also if they lost anything or got cut like if they lost their arm or their leg or anything, don't worry, Lady is here for help
🌟and also they can eat, drink, wash their teeth,taking shower, and almost anything about humans, but the only thing that they don't do in their human form is breeding and reproduction, and the engines in their human form become even more stronger so they can done their jobs very fast and easely.
💗🌟Thank you so much for your time and reading this and i hope you enjoy your stay here again ^^🌟💗

ok idk where my template is and i am literally a month late but here is a silly little Office / Corporate Life AU that I wrote about Mandy/Kiara from @magicmooshka''s hit comic, Go Girl Go!
written for round 7 of the yuri shipping olympics prompt: A broken elevator the characters are stuck together in word count: 886
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Hold the door!”
Kiara looks up from the First-Day itinerary inked onto her phone screen, trying to find the source of the scream. She sticks a hand out in front of the closing elevator doors regardless and watches as they slide back open.
“H-HOLD THE DOOR PLEASE!” the voice yells, closer this time, and Kiara stares as a tiny figure finally rounds the corner, clutching a briefcase that looks like it’s bursting at the seams.
The girl crashes more than walks into the elevator, panting against the railing when she finally makes it. The doors slide shut behind her and a paper threatens to slip out of the leather case when she tips it too far downwards. Kiara pushes it back into place for her.
“Sorry,” the girl says, brushing her bangs out of her face. Cute, Kiara thinks involuntarily and then mentally slaps herself to bring herself back to reality. “I-It’s my first day as an intern and I was really scared that I’d be late to my first meeting on my first day and then my boss would fire me and I would have to go back to the trenches of LinkedIn not to say that I don’t like it here because I’m Very Excited about working here and being a corporate slave oh god I didn’t mean it like that–I’ve said too much, haven’t I?”
“No worries,” Kiara replies smoothly. The girl has a strand of hair matted to her forehead and Kiara taps her own skin once to gesture for her to move it. The girl goes cross-eyed in the mirror trying to find it before finally slapping herself a few times across the forehead. “I’m Kiara and it’s my first day as an intern for the Sales team.”
“Ohmygod, you’re an intern too?” the girl yelps, pointing at her in disbelief. “B-But you’re so cool and so mature-looking and so professional?!”
Kiara blinks, stunned into silence.
“I meant that in a good way!” the girl adds quickly. “I’m Mandy, did I say that yet?”
Kiara can’t help it–she giggles. Mandy is as endearing as she is nervous.
“Pleased to meet you, Mandy,” she says, offering her hand. Mandy stares at it blankly for a few seconds before grabbing it and shaking it vigorously. Kiara’s eyes widen at the tightness of her grip.
Mandy finally lets go and slips her phone out of her pocket instead, tilting the screen to check the time.
“Good, I still have fifteen minutes before my meeting and it should only take five for me to find the meeting but in the case I get lost or someone stops to talk to me for ten minutes, I should still be–”
As if on cue, the elevator sputters like a dying engine, giving one last croak before promptly dying in between floors 4 and 5.
Kiara looks up at the lights on top, weakly illuminating the number four as the elevator rocks back and forth before grinding to a halt. Mandy follows her gaze, going weak at the knees.
“Did it just… stop?” she asks uncertainly and Kiara peeks through the gap in the doors.
“I think so,” she replies when the elevator doesn’t whir back to life after a few moments.
“We’re gonna die,” Mandy says, eyes wide. “It was nice to meet you though before I died, Kiara. In another life, we might’ve been able to be good friends.”
“We could be friends in this one,” Kiara replies, amused. “I’ll press the button for the emergency help and I’m sure they’ll have us out of here soon.”
“I hope so,” Mandy replies, anxiously checking the time. “I really hope so.”
“Do you want a granola bar?” Kiara asks to give her something to do, fishing through her purse. Mandy looks at her and nods eagerly, already reaching for the wrapper. She unpeels it like a banana and then chews it from the top-down. It reminds her vaguely of a chipmunk and Kiara has to smother her laugh to keep it from escaping.
“Do you thig I’ll be able to find anutha job after I’m fired?” Mandy asks her through a mouthful of oats. Kiara smiles and crosses her arms across her chest.
“I don’t think they’ll fire you for their elevator being faulty,” she replies.
“Right, right,” Mandy mutters, chewing at her nails. They’re painted bright orange, like a dying sunset. “As long as the elevator is on the seventh floor by 7:55, I can run to 7M112 and still make it in time for my 8 o’clock.”
As if it’s heard her plea, the elevator rocks back to life, slowly beginning its ascent one more.
“Thank god,” Mandy breathes, one hand over her heart.
The doors slide open on the seventh floor and Mandy’s halfway out the elevator before she suddenly turns around.
“THANKYOUFORTHEGRANOLABARIGOTTARUNNOWITWASNICETOMEETYOU!” she shouts all in one breath before she takes off running.
In her haste to leave, something slips from her grasp and clatters onto the floor. Mandy doesn’t notice as she sprints away and it’s up to Kiara to pick up the forgotten item. She kneels down on the carpet and turns it over.
A plastic badge stares back at her, Mandy’s grimacing profile plastered onto the front.7M112, was it? Kiara shakes her head and runs out after her.
#go girl go#mandy x kiara#kiara x mandy#uhh i forget the rest of the tags#yuri shipping olympics#yuri olympics

Happy Valentine's Day, @milgram-valentines-exchange!!! My giftee was.........
@candckirby !! I'm. So sorry about the flagging of your blog.. I hope the toxic yuri can make up for it…..
I’m going to continue the writing later on, I just really wanted to post the writing as well (even though it’s only 300 words)
The art is under the cut for an itty bitty bit of violence just to be safe! (Character A choking Character B)
Oh also. Here's the events leading up to it :)
——————
It’s always cold, in milgram. Don’t know why she thought much different. Why a second trial would be any different, why people would think any different. They already got the impression of her that they want. A weak, innocent girl who wont do anything, wont stand up for herself. Just plays along, plays the part of a damsel in distress.
She hates it. she hates how people look at her. She hates seeing those eyes staring at her, assuming they know what’s right, assuming that she’s done it for some sort of pitiable reason. That she’s someone to be pitied, that she has no agency, that shes been taken advantage of. Yuno knew what she was doing. She was aware of all the risks, and she did it anyway. And when she took it into her own hands, her “crime”, if you could even call it that, it was still her choice. She chose to.
That’s probably why she doesn’t like Kotoko. The other woman assumes everything, assumes that she knows excatly what’s going on in the other prisoner’s minds. She even beat up everyone who was voted guilty in the first trial. Heaven knows what she’ll do to them if they’re voted guilty again.
..maybe Yuno should go speak with her. Explain that things aren’t as black and white as she seems to think they are. But would she even get through to her? Would the woman even listen? She doesn’t seem like the kind who would. But then again, Yuno doesn’t seem like the kind of girl who’d do that, either.
So, she’ll giver her a chance, go talk to her. And maybe, she might be able to convince her. Not that everyone else is innocent, not even that she herself is innocent, but just that, maybe, violence isn’t the answer. That there’s a more sensible way, a more mature way of handling this.
Well. There’s only one way to find out.
#yes I’m posting this a little early so I don’t forget#milgram#milgramvalentine’s2024#yuno kashiki#kotoko yuzuriha#milgram 02#milgram 10#0210#…kinda#my working title was toxic yuri but they hate each other

Today's translation #520
Yuri!!! on STAGE event pamphlet, Shunichi Toki's comment
>I gave all that I had into recording of my parts
After I got the role, and before Leo made an appearance in the story, I have been thinking for a long time about what kind of character he is going to be, and how should I play the role to make him a charming character, but when the recording started, it just felt like a short moment. I gave all that I had when recording my parts, and I didn't have any regrets, so I did feel a sense of satisfaction. On the other hand, I was a little worried if I managed to get into the world of this anime as Leo, but I've got a lot of messages praising my performance, so I felt reassured. Only then I could really think that "ah, it was all right".
>The strength of Leo, who can get through his own failures
Leo-kun seems very mature, and he doesn't show his weaknesses to people. I remember very well, how he was trying to get through his own failure, after he failed in his FS, falling on the ice, and still remembering that the music saved him. I remember that very well, because I really was thinking a lot how to portray the unfounded worry that he felt at that moment, and his strong will to work even harder, something that he doesn't really show on the outside. I'd like to play the role of Leo-kun more.
>Message for the fans
Standing on the stage of such a big event, together with my great seniors, I may not make much sense. If something like that happens, I'd be very grateful if you are forgiving with me, the same as with Leo-kun and Guang-Hong, as we all are the young, inexperienced ones.

The King of Street Fighters: A New Beginning (Chapter 4)
Scene opens with a Recap of the events in an old grainy film effect

Terry: Ok! That was easy, now we need one more
Jamie: Who?
Scene shows the 7 fighters, meeting up with Ken
Ken: I wish I could Terry, but ever since that incident with JP, I can’t be recognized
Terry: Oh come on man, think of all the time and memories we fought each other
Flashback show to Terry and Ken when they first fought in 2003 and again in 2019
Ken: Yeah, I don’t think so.. Sorry
Terry: Well, we tried, but if you change your mind, this will change it *leaves him a suitcase*
Luke: Huh?
Terry; Let’s go guys
The 7 fighters left, as Ken took the suitcase and walk to the empty alley
Ken: What could he left? *he opens the suitcase, revealing his old Red Gi from long ago*
Scene cuts to the Macho Ring, as the 7 fighters are there

Terry: Like the old days
Ken: Hey Terry, thanks for the gift, it’s like the old days came back

Let Me Speak to the Manager! Ch. 2- Karen x Manager
The second chapter of my new story, a Karen x Manager yuri romcom. Yes, you read that right.
Fandom: Original (unless Karen memes count as a fandom)
Rated: T (some swearing and mature themes)
Pairing: F/F
Description: After being denied a discount at a supermarket, single mother Karen demands to see the manager. Much to her horror, the manager is hot enough to be her first woman crush. But Karen would rather join a pyramid scheme than deal with her feelings, much less admit them.
Potential Content Warning: Religious homophobia
Cover art by Galdsy- Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/galdsy Twitter: twitter.com/galdsy Instagram: www.instagram.com/galdles/?hl=…
Chapter 2: Karen vs The Supermarket
Upon seeing the banana prices outside a local grocery store, Karen received a rude awakening. They were even higher than in the supermarket! Sure, they seemed to be a smidge better in quality, but if she bought a kilogram of these, she would have to only buy half a kilogram of grapes and that simply would not do. If Kyle punched one more hole in the wall, Karen was sure the wall would crumble and the ceiling would fall on top of him.
She weighed her options. Would it be worth it to drive to a cheaper grocery store? How much did petrol cost that day?
Eventually, she compromised and pulled a couple of bananas off the bunch to make it lighter. Keeping Kyle’s hunger for grapes satiated was much more important than some bananas.
She went inside the store to pay for groceries, grumbling about the prices to the poor woman at the register.
The sun was just beginning to set when Karen was done with all her shopping. Her back was sore from hunching over a desk all day, made worse by carrying the grocery bags to her car. Once she was home, she ordered her children to help her put away the groceries. Sharon and Carol didn’t bother but Kyle joined her.
‘About bloody time,’ Karen said.
Kyle opened one of the bags, picked a single grape and popped it in his mouth. ‘Just here for these,’ he claimed, though he continued helping.
Karen pulled out a pack of energy drink cans. ‘And these?’
Kyle snatched it from her. ‘And these.’
‘How was school?’
‘Alright. Boring. Keith said he’ll let me borrow his copy of Code of Revenge: Gears of The Soldier.’
‘Is that a g-’
‘Yep.’
Karen fell silent. Her knowledge of video games was limited to what she heard on the news, not nearly enough to carry a conversation about them.
All she managed to say was, ‘Uh, that’s nice. Just make sure you don’t stay up too late playing it.’
Ah, the classic line when you don’t know how to talk to your children about video games.
‘Oh, and Kyle, give me your pocket knife. I know you bought one.’
‘But mum-’
‘I don’t want that game influencing you!’
‘It’s for self-defence!’
‘Why would you need that?’
Kyle kicked one of the grocery bags on the floor. ‘You know what? Put this shit away yourself.’ He stormed back to his room and shook the frame as he slammed the door shut.
‘Hey, come back!’ Karen shouted. No response. The ache in Karen’s back got worse as she leaned down to pick up items from grocery bags herself. Her arms were too weak to lift an entire bag onto the kitchen bench, which would have lessened the strain of leaning down.
The following week, Karen tried another grocery store. The prices were better but the selection was downright embarrassing. There was none of the variety promised by living in the great capitalist landscape of Australia. Karen was sorely disappointed.
Of course, Karen had to make this disappointment known to the cashier. ‘I may as well live in Russia if I’m getting this little choice.’ The cashier had no choice but to laugh awkwardly and grit her bared teeth.
When Karen looked into the half-empty boot, devoid of many of the groceries she needed, she knew enough was enough. She winced at the thought but could no longer avoid a simple truth: she had to return to that supermarket.
As she drove home, she considered how to avoid that manager and decided to shop on a different day. For the first time in a while, she grinned.
That grin did not survive the following week’s shopping trip. Frema Nazarian, that beautiful witch, was at the supermarket, albeit as just another shopper. She wore a tight red shirt, scandalous high-waisted pale lemon shorts and a form-fitting blazer the colour of sand.
And, of course, the witch smirked upon seeing Karen. ‘I must have misheard you a few weeks ago. I thought you said something along the lines of ‘I’m never coming back here again!’ Did you actually say something else?’
Blood scorched rapidly through Karen’s veins. ‘I’m not here for you.’
Frema raised an eyebrow. ‘When did I suggest that?’
That boiling blood went straight to Karen’s cheeks. That dumb vixen must have cursed her with her luscious lips and spellbinding eyes!
‘Uh, that… you just seemed like the kind of person to think about something like that. And why are you being so rude to a customer?’
‘I’m not on the clock, am I?’ Frema asked as she pulled a jar of instant coffee from a shelf. A strong, agonisingly palpable desire nestled in Karen’s heart, eager to be quenched. This desire? To one-up Frema.
She reached up towards an even higher shelf on the opposite side of the aisle. Alas, she was too short to pick up the packet of biscuits. Frema saw Karen’s flailing arm and grabbed the item for her, gracefully placing it in Karen’s trolley.
Karen snatched the biscuit packet from the trolley and held it up to her chest like she was guarding it with her life. She stared at this audacious succubus with wide eyes that popped out of their sockets.
Upon realising how ridiculous she must have looked, she put the packet back in the trolley.
‘It’s not like your customer service was great even when you were working,’ she said.
‘I apologise.’
‘Thank y-’
‘I should have magically been transferred to both the marketing department and the accounting department so I could change the prices of bananas for you.’
‘Surely you’re allowed to give discounts!’
A few shoppers turned their heads to witness this loud argument.
Frema put her hands on her hips, swishing her blazer behind her. Karen noticed. ‘On what grounds would I give you a discount?’
‘Y-you… have a nice jacket!’
Karen scrunched her lips inside her mouth like she had just drunk unsweetened lemonade, her entire face now the colour of raspberries. Frema froze, as did the shoppers. Karen mulled over ways she could dig a hole in the ground to die in without breaking the pipes down below.
Frema’s laugh was perhaps the ugliest laugh possible, a nasal cackle with plenty of snorting. Yet, somehow, it was also the sweetest laugh Karen had ever heard. A few customers grew bored of the deflated conflict and resumed their shopping.
‘I’ll tell you what,’ Frema said in between laughs. ‘I’ll give you 1 per cent off per compliment. Do we have a deal?’
Karen crossed her arms and looked beside her at the seemingly mocking smiles of the various brand mascots. At least their stares didn’t embarrass her as much as Frema’s beautifully horrendous giggling.
‘I meant to say I should get a widow’s discount,’ she admitted.
Frema wiped a tear from her eye and held back the dregs of her laughter. ‘I’m sorry for your loss. I don’t know how you got from widow’s discount to how good my jacket looks, but hey, I’ll take it.’
Karen glared at Frema. ‘Well, enjoy your one compliment. It’s all you’re getting.’
‘Shame. I have a whole collection of these blazers at home. All different colours.’
Karen thought to ask if she had a collection of shorts no one her age should wear, but she held her tongue and returned her gaze to the mascots on the shelf.
‘I’m Frema, by the way.’
‘Karen.’
Frema went back to her task of putting items in her trolley. She looked for a symbol on an instant coffee jar and groaned when it wasn’t there.
‘Don’t tell the higher-ups that I’m complaining, but there really should be more kosher stuff here,’ she murmured.
Karen whipped her head towards Frema. She felt a twinge of disappointment that Frema wasn’t Christian, though she had a feeling when she first heard her foreign-sounding name.
Wait, why was she disappointed? It wasn't like, if Frema was a Christian like Karen, they could…
Karen blinked quickly and her cheeks somehow got even hotter. Why was she even entertaining this idea? Hell, what idea was she even entertaining?
‘Are you okay?’ Frema asked, getting just a little too close to Karen’s face.
‘I’m perfectly fine. I was just surprised. You don’t exactly-’
‘Look Jewish? Yeah, that’s probably because I’m a Mizrahi Jew.’ She pulled a necklace chain out from underneath her shirt, revealing a Star of David pendant. ‘Persian, to be exact, though my mum was born in Israel.’ Frema chuckled, though the sound took on a bitter tone. ‘Sorry I don’t look like Woody Allen.’
‘I’m sorry.’
‘All good. I’m used to it. Shouldn’t be, but I am. But hey, I managed to get an apology from you. That’s a start.’
Karen started pushing her trolley as Frema chatted about various topics, also pushing her trolley. Frema was surprisingly talkative and Karen was content to listen because, every so often, her laughter would come out. Karen found herself grinning ear to ear every time she heard it.
By the end of their shopping trip, the corners of Karen’s mouth had lowered completely. A realisation dropped two tonnes’ worth of bricks onto her heart.
She was deeply, intensely attracted to this woman.

What are those two that you consider" gay anime for gay men about gay men"?
ok it's actually 4 if you count movies. idk if you asked this for like, reccomendation reasons or not? but just in case i'll try to give a quick summary
IN MY HUMBLE BUT CORRECT OPINION yuri on ice was always good and gay some of you guys are just weak. i don't know what to say about yoi without spoiling most of the story BUT LIKE. it's got actual sports drama and insight from a professional competitive view. it's got a depressed, insecure mc whose mental health is deteriorating BECAUSE Sports Are Hell and it's presented in a very realistic way. the main duo are both in their mid-20s which is neat, and their dynamic is SO FASCINATING no matter how you interpret it. so far the only show i've watched i'd label as "gay subtext" but in yknow, a legitimate and satisfying way instead of a cheap way. the development of the main duo's relationship is just as relevant to the story as the competitive skating part
GIVEN!!!!! ough. given......there's even less i can say about this one without spoling literally everything. THIS ONE IS /A GAY ROMANTIC DRAMA/ that's just the genre. but what really makes it special to me is how seriously it takes itself. since it's also a story about a band rising to fame, the "drama" aspect comes from both the romance And from the typical friend-group infighting that every band story has lol. it also deals with some surprisingly heavy topics like suicide, trauma, child abuse AND HOMOPHOBIA, and it handles everything in SUCH a mature way. if you can swallow the heavier themes then it's a really sweet and empowering story. ALSO it gets bonus points for only having the first 2 protags out of 4 be teenagers, the other 2 are grown college students.
I'M JUST GONNA LIST BOTH MOVIES RQ: "doukyuusei/classmates" and "umibe no étranger/the stranger by the shore". they're both kind of an acquired taste and they're more fluffy and wholesome than the shows i listed above, but i enjoyed them :]

Title: Doki Doki Connection
Pairing: Male!Monika x Fem!Reader
Art by: MisterZei
Doki Doki Connection Masterlist: 🖋
Main Masterlist: 🍫
Chapter 3
You took a deep breath, and with shaking knees, you slowly walked towards the open clubroom doors.
You froze at the sight of the male version of Yuri, and Natsuki.
Yuri still has his dark purple hair, and light purple eyes. His aura, just like the original girl version, expresses maturity and sophistication.
Natsuki still possess his straight pastel pink hair, and pink eyes. His bangs are swept to the right, having two prominent strands of hair beside them. Suprisingly enough, he still retained the accessory the girl version has, that consist of a red Japanese-style crossed hairclip, as well as a red ribbon tying one small ponytail on the upper half of his head at the back— the rest of his hair left down. And his height, he's actually taller than you but still the smallest one on the boys.
You continued to examine the two of them, your cheeks heating up.
They. Are. So. Hot.
"Welcome to the Literature Club. It's a pleasure meeting you," male Yuri suddenly spoke up, bringing you to reality. His voice was deep, and soothing. "Satori always says nice things about you," he added.
The pink-haired guy then said. "Seriously? You brought a girl?" he rolled his eyes. "Way to kill the atmosphere."
As much as you wanted to be offended by his statement, you were too distracted by his cute voice.
You opened your mouth to speak out but then frozed when your realized one thing. "Where's Monika?" You whispered, not realizing the your childhood friend next to you heard your statement.
"Who's Monika?" Satori's jovial voice next to you made you jump in surprise. Then his eyes lightened in realization. "Oh! Do you mean Moniko? I don't know where he went."
"O-oh," you muttered and looked down, your cheeks tinted red in embarrassment.
"Wait. How did you know that he's part of this club? I never mentioned it to you." His eyes widened, a teasing grin forming on his lips. "Do you by any chance like him? Is that why you quickly joined the club?"
You quickly looked up at him with a wide and panicked look. "N-no! I don't even know him!"
You felt a hot breath in your right ear and a unfamiliar smooth and confident voice. "Really? We're classmates last year, aren't we, Y/N?"
In surprise, you jumped to the side, accidentally knocking Satori to the ground.
Your eyes widened in panic. "Oh no! I'm so sorry, Satori!" You offered him a hand.
"All is good, Y/n!" He laughed and scratched the back of his head before taking your hand.
"I'm so sorry about that, Satori. I didn't know that she'll act that way. Ahahaha," he laughed and turned to you.
You can't help but froze at the sight of the male version of Monika in front of you. He's gorgeous. Just like the female version, he has coral brown hair, the white ribbon now missing, and his emerald green eyes made you feel that you can stare at it all day long... Ironically speaking, you actually did that at act 3 of the game, and at Monika After Story.
"I apologize for surprising you, Y/N. It really is nice to see you again." He gave you a warm smile.
"I- uh- um-" You panicked inside. Damn it! Why can't you form a coherent sentence?
"What are you looking at? If you want to say something, say it." Natsuki—or atleast what you thought is his name—spoke up.
"I-I'm sorry," you looked down, feeling dejected already. You promised yourself that you would help them, then why are you acting like some weak protagonist of an otome game? You need to keep in mind that the game's main genre was never romance, but horror.
"Naruki..." You heard the male Yuri stated.
"Hmph," Naruki—finally! You know his name—crossed his arms and turned his head to the side. You mentally rolled your eyes.
Typical tsundere.
But at least he's cute.
"You can just ignore him when he's–" you cut Satori off.
"He's the typical tsundere, isn't he?" You whispered back, not knowing how Moniko heard you, and now turned to you with wide eyes.
Satori held back his laugh. "Y-yeah." He then turned back to his club mates. "Anyway! This is Naruki, always full of energy. And this is Yuki, the smartest in the club!"
You smiled and waved at them, then you turned your head to Moniko who was already staring at you with a look in his eyes that you can't discern. It bothered you, knowing that Moniko has full control of the game.
Your confidence came back at the thought of breaking out of this game. With them. You can't act like a fool right now. You need to earn their trust.
"Hey, everyone! I'm Y/n, and it's a pleasure to meet all of you! Thank you for accepting me as a part of your club already," you smiled. Now here comes the part of your strategy that you'll surely manage to get one of the to be friends.
"When it comes to literature, I'm really a wide reader, by that I mean, I read Manhwa, and Mangas..." You saw Naruki's eyes light up—Bingo!—while Yuki frowned a bit. "When it comes to books, I'm a fan of any genres, such as fantasy, mystery, and even horror." This time, Yuki is the one who's eyes lightened up with an expectant look, the frown disappearing from his face.
Your smile grew wider at their reaction. "You really do love literature, don't you?" You turned to Moniko who just spoke up.
You nodded, not lying about what you said earlier. "I also write stories in my spare time, though I'm not good with poems, since I find it hard to understand them." You let out a nervous laugh.
Moniko patted your head and you looked up at him in surprise. "That's fine, you can learn here in the literature club."
"I'm excited for it."
You don't want to follow the script but you'll make an exception just this one for this line.
This club... is full of incredibly hot guys!!
Wait. Script...
Your mind flashed the conversation you had with them... Moniko's appearance...
Did he just deviated from the script in act 1?

Full offensive thoughts after Stranger Things S4:
Spoilers, obviously.
Let me preface this by saying that season four was certainly my favourite season. How-evah,
I am never going to be okay with that. You know what. That.
I haven’t quite figured out the nature of Steve’s feelings for Robin. Of course they are the best platonic duo I have seen in ages but I was confused by Steve’s small confession that he would like to be in a relationship with Robin but it was impossible. To Nancy, of all people. How is this consistent with him pining for Nancy and daydreaming they have a family?
In any case, that conversation of Jonathan and Nancy in which the latter says that “Steve has become more mature”…. Excuse me, but I am realising Steve has always been the most mature. And even like this, he still knows better himself and what he wants. Just books and knowledge don’t make maturity, dear Nancy. If only Nancy knew once, once! what it is she’s feeling. Don’t let me start with Jonathan…
Jonathan Byers: *How am I gonna tell my little, timid, scared, closeted gay brother that I know and support him???*
Jonathan: *oh I know!*
Jonathan: Hey Will remember that time you stuck a lego man so deep inside you it took me hours to get him out? Just know I can do that again in case someone is stuck, OK?
Will: ?????!!!!!?!!!!!?!!?
Did poor Will cry in all his scenes in this season or what
The strangest thing in Stranger Things is that a boy like Will and a girl like El are so head over heels for Mike. There’s nothing wrong with Mike but… come on.
I really disliked that they didn’t show us the characters’ reactions when they learned about Hopper being actually alive. El is like oh I am so relieved you’re here and that’s it.
I also thought it was off that Joyce and El got undressed at some point and they were pristine clean after those odysseys of theirs - Joyce was also sexy on top of that.
I am a huge Jopper shipper but… that scene where Joyce and Hopper are just about to get it on and Hopper just… looms over her, wasn’t it a little creepy?! And I say this as a very petite girl who has been into tall guys before. I don’t think it was David’s fault, I think it was filmed / written in a weird way. At least I am pretty sure and hopeful David will never see this because he has this whole insecurity thing about his size…
And to prove my love for David and Jopper, I believe it is basically inhuman that at this point Hopper is still denied some fun. Let the man get laid you assholes! You just know it is gonna happen in the last episodes of the show, right?
Now I am going to become a little legitimately evil… Winona was a little weak with her acting. And YES I freaking LOVE Winona since way before Stranger Things.
Last but definitely not least, S4 proves Americans are stupid for not being able to deal with the Demogorgon. Russians have been carrying them in labs and even making surgeries on them with them being conscious. Has anyone thought how the Russians put all these Demogorgons in the vials with that dark matter being kept separately and also guarding and feeding the adult Demogorgons effectively all this time?! Russians have been Demogorgon scholars all along, meanwhile our protagonists just shoot fire and hope for a quick death.
Yuri should be dead by now, and yet

LGBTQ Manga Review – Syrup: A Yuri Anthology Vol. 1
Shakaijin Yuri, stories featuring love between adult women who have left school, is a well-established corner in the Japanese Yuri market. Over the past few months, the scene started to pick up its full force in the West. English audiences are experiencing new Shakaijin series, both contemporary like Still Sick and older such as The Conditions of Paradise. For me, there are few works so prolific and intrinsic to the Shakaijin boom as Syrup. In Japanese, the subtitle reads Shakaijin Yuri Anthology. While the English release drops the subgenre's label, the content remains the same, an anthology dedicated to nothing but Yuri love stories featuring adult women from some of the Yuri industries best. However, Syrup's focus on mature and workplace stories more than piqued my interest. However, readers will likely be disappointed with this inconsistent and often forgettable anthology that is just as sour as sweet.
One of Syrup's main draws is its contributors. Some of the best in the Yuri world touched this manga, and even Western Yurijin will likely recognize a few of the names like Yukiko (Futaribeya), Itou Hachi (Kindred Spirits on the Roof), and of course Morinaga Milk (Girl Friends). It is always exciting to read a story from one of your favorites. Even I, who cares rather little for authorship, was happy to see Ohi Pikachi, who wrote the incredible Our Teachers are Dating, among the list. It also provides readers with a chance to familiarize themselves with unfamiliar creators like Amano Shuninta and Kurogane Ken, who grace the anthology with some of its best chapters.
Another benefit of having such a variety of contributors is the plethora of different art styles in the anthology. There is such a stark yet fun contrast between more mature or sensuous styles like Matsuzaki Natsumi and Ito Hachi's bubble moe characters. The manga spans almost every point between these two styles, and just flipping through the pages to look at the artwork can be a fun experience. Of course, some are more polished than others. Mochi_Au_Lait's simplistic and flat style stands as an unfortunate outlier among some other fabulous artists. However, their story, "The Cram School Teachers," is one of the funniest in the anthology. Not every story's aesthetics will suit all readers, but that is the point of a collection, to sample a wide array of talents. Fly's beautiful cover illustration wraps the fantastic art within, standing as a crown jewel of Yuri manga covers.
Unfortunately, the plot and characters are not nearly as enjoyable as the art. While a mixture of aesthetics can add to a work, different story styles often feel inconsistent. For this reason, I usually prefer collections of a single author's short stories, like Rouge Nagashiro's Eve and Eve and Morishima Akiko's The Conditions of Paradise. However, a unifying theme can often correct this issue. Sadly, a few too many of the stories seem to revel in the more "adult" allowances of adult characters and ironically created some of the most immature entries in the anthology.
Before diving too deep into the weeds of mediocrity, there are some chapters in Syrup worthy of highlight. Two of the best chapters, Shioya Teruko's "Promise" and Kurogane Kenn's "Rose Quartz" feature women in established relationships taking the next step in their relationship. Reading about these women celebrate their feelings for each other is wholesome, charming, and even sensual. The latter of the two stories is also one of the few to use adult content in a way that feels more mature. It clarifies the characters' love and attraction for each other, rather than just flashing a panel of exposed breasts for fanservice. It is great to see artists use their allowance to show a little more in profound ways while not letting it run away from them. It demonstrates admirable restraint and thoughtful writing that respects its characters.
Other interesting chapters include "Mama X Mom," which is less about the sexual relationship between two women and focuses on the character's emotional bonds in a unique situation. Ito Hachi's "First Grown-Up Love" perhaps lives up to the Syrup title the most, as it is an adorably sweet and fluffy tale of first love at adulthood. As one of the longer stories, it also has a bit more time for subtly and, thus, it includes some of the stronger and more interesting characters.
Sadly, most of the stories in Syrup are incredibly mediocre. Telling a compelling narrative with interesting characters in such a brief form, in some cases as short as six pages, is a daunting task that most chapters fail to overcome. They are utterly dull and forgetful, with characters designed with little more than maybe a job and the fact that they are interested in a woman in mind. They leave little impression, and even in the moment of reading, one finds themselves tired and wishing for the passage to end. A few tales show some modicum of potential, like Kodama Naoko's "Daily Smile," but they often end before they can get going.
A few dull chapters are acceptable, as tastes will vary, and many will enjoy some of the stories that left me utterly unenthused. However, where Syrup struggles are in its weak chapters. Some, like Yoshimura Kana's "Coward Queen," a confusing and offputting depiction of two women making a pornographic movie, and Matsuzaki Natsumi's "My Femme Fatale" revel far too much in displaying as much nudity as they can get away with before being labeled as porn. The former of these portray a lust for sadism that clashes with the rest of the primarily mundane anthology. It might even spoiler the next several chapters, as it is one of the first stories and leaves readers with immense displeasure.
There are some questionable attitudes towards boundaries and crossing lines, even outside the more salacious and exploitative stories. Depictions or descriptions of actions like staring at a woman's underwear or breasts, or awkwardly splurting out "I'm a virgin," are tossed out casually, often portrayed as romantic. Now, this manga is a work of fiction and can be enjoyed even with some more questionable aspects, as they usually are not deal breakers here. However, the dated attitudes feel like something out of an '80s comedy, not in a manga that, in all else, appears to at least attempt to hold an air of realism. This pervasive element at best makes an already struggling story worse, but it can add unpleasant notes to otherwise delightful offerings.
There is no better example of potentially compelling work squandered by its unsavory elements than Morinaga Milks "Working with an Angel." It starts pretty well, introducing readers to an entertainment agency manager with a forbidden otaku friendship with a model. However, instead of taking a more intelligent or realistic approach of the two trying to keep their growing relationship secret or a heroic, "consequences be damned," declaration of love, the story turns sleazy. The model wants to show her naked body off to the manager as the latter admits that she spies on the models while they change. Off-putting is the most generous review of this final chapter.
While Syrup: A Yuri Anthology has a few bright offerings of sweet and compelling relationship between adult women, it is incredibly bogged down by forgettable and mediocre stories. Few stories can present more than a weak premise and characters best described as "female" within their short page count. More objectionable, with a few notable exceptions, Syrup muddles its attempts to show how grown-up Yuri can by mistaking boobs and fanservice for maturity. Yes, Shakaijin stories, tales of adult women can be sexy. In fact, they should be more than willing to describe inelegance and lust; after all, for many people, that is what love is. Still, too often, Syrup forgets the heart, affection, and emotion, substituting them for cheap, uninspired story beats and characters. There are some chapters worth readers' time, but unless you are a hardcore fan of a contributor, this is an easy skip
It is challenging to award ratings for Syrup, as each story's merits vary. Some are a comfortable 8 or 9 and others a measly 2 or 3. However, the majority of the book was unobjectionable yet poorly constructed fluff, as respected in the scores below.
Ratings: Story – 5 Characters – 3 Art – 8 LGBTQ – 6 Sexual Content – 8 Final – 5

Yandere ocs voice headcanons
Dunno just though this would be fun I’m sure you guys have your own voices in mind but here how it is
This contains: talk of sex, lot of characters, yandere talk
Theodore
Okay so you know yuki from fruits basket....
Make the tone louder and warmer and boom Theo
He has a very soothing voice like the type that you can hear talk for hours or fall asleep to
When annoyed or angry his voice lowers in pitch and is strained from him trying to keep from shouting
He always keeps the same tone of voice usually it’s always sweet and calm and nice
He talks very very proper like he makes sure to always sound like a gentleman
When he’s angry though he will absolutely say the word fuck or shit under his breath with a growl following it
Is the ceo of fake laughs
His fake laughs are always soft and short
His real laugh always has a shocked snort or him choking before bursting out laughing
He makes sure to cover his mouth and apologizes when he laughs cause he sees it as rude
Hikaru
Okay so as y’all know he has two sides
His stage persona voice is super sugary sweet
But don’t mistake that for hyper nope
Somehow no matter what he says it sounds like he’s smiling while talking
Never raises his voice but he does have his cracks of his real personality seeping through
With those he’ll clench his teeth
Like you know those people who speak with a fake laugh when they really wanna choke you
There are times where he has to pretend to be all cute and shy while on stage persona
His voice will get soft and sweet down to a shy little whisper
He hates doing this so there will be a slight annoyed tone in his voice that he tries to hide
When he’s pissed at you but he has to keep cool it always sounds kinda scary
“Hehe y/n my...sweet y/n, can we talk in private please sweetie?”
Normal hikaru’s voice is much deeper and cruder
Not quite bakugo tone but like just as crude and mean
Somehow always sounds like he’s one step from snarling out his words
Legit swears in every sentence
Kinda talks like a delinquent
Everything about him changes from posture to tone
He’s legit just a violent tsundere
Axis
Okay so..his voice is like ultimate sub energy
When he talks to anyone else besides you he is cheerful but also pretty normal
When it’s you..simp
You can hear the obsession in his voice. Its always sounds just absolutely happy and filled with joy
I always say that axis is like a happy puppy when he hears his darling is near
He bad mood instantly vanishes and he is just nearly squealing with joy
When he gets all bratty his cheeks puff all out and he lowers his tone making sure you know that he’s upset with you
As far as his whiny yandere side it sounds so desperate like he’s going to die if he doesn’t kiss you or hold you
I think I said this before but axis is the loudest so if you try to walk out the door or something he will scream and beg you not to go anywhere it sounds like it physically hurts to have you leave
He has a habit of hurting himself to get you to stay during these moments he would have a pathetic stutter
“I-I’m h-hurt! Y-you wouldn’t leave someone bleeding out all alone right? Right!?”
When he’s serious his tone shifts low
Not like mature low no it still has that youthful innocence but it sounds deadpan and soft like as if all feelings other than hate or anger vanished
During these moments he would say something like “stay away from my sweet perfect y/n...or I’ll kill you”
Salem
Yuri from yarichan bitch club
Okay though seriously something like him except more lower in pitch
He does slur his speech and I think I said this before but the more excited he gets the less English comes out of him
It goes from shaky toddler talking to barking and random garbled words and crazy laughing.
The only time he would talk “normal” is when he’s docile aka he’s high as hell or if he spends a large amount of time cuddles up to his darling
In that case his voice is soft though there is some stutters and crackling cause he’s not used to speaking normally
He also pauses a lot cause he’s not smart at all and words are hard
His manner of speaking is very toddler like
Words would be dumbed down and even nicknamed
Expect phrases such as “y-y/nnn, wuv wuv wuv! Ooowahhhh!” In a squealing happy tone
All in all his voice..is interesting
Prince
Prince is a fuck boy
So he sounds like a douche
Like to use the word babe and baby a lot
He honestly thinks he’s the shit so everything out his mouth comes off as cocky
His voice is kinda like those lead singers from boy bands that’s the best way I can describe it
Like those fake bad boys who are all like “yeah baby wanna smoke cigarettes in the parking lot of McDonald’s”
His voice squeaks A LOT though when nervous
Like he tries to keep his voice low and cool sounding but the moment darling flirts or gives him attention it’s just 📈📈📈
When flustered he talks in a high pitch flustered tone
It’s absolutely adorable
Takes him a while to bring it back down though
He likes to speak in Korean sometimes
It sounds so smooth when he does
He has such confidence it sounds like he’s in a kdrama or something
When things are getting steamy he likes to slow down his pacing of words and talk lower
He thinks it sounds sexy but it kinda sounds fake
It’s cause he doesn’t wanna admit that he’s a switch but whatever prince you do you boo
Prince laughing is amazing
You know Kuroo’s laugh?? Yeah take that and make it a tad bit higher and as a ton of hiccups and gasping for air and boom prince
This is why prince has a fake laugh
Like he’ll do a simple little heh. And that’s it
Yuki
Super hush
Barley a whisper
His voice is flat and cold
Very blunt
He mostly responds in grunts or sounds when in public with his darling
If he absolutely has to speak it’s a single word
Some would deem his voice boring and dull
He has very dry humor and this is the same with his tone of speaking
You will get simple responses from him
When he is with his darling just alone he is far more warm and sweet his voice is still barely above a whisper but it has a nice rumble to it
Even when he’s pissed it’s soft and calm sounding
He doesn’t like shouting cause loud sounds make him cry
That being said the only time he would get loud is when he cries
If something is hurting him he can’t take it for long
His voice cracks and he sounds whiny almost like he’s terrified
Just a shaky “s-stop!”
His breathing would get all intense and his words would come out as stutters as he tries to dial it back down to that soft calm tone probably adding his last response with a hush “please. Stop”
Not much to say about his voice though there is always amusement swinging within it whenever someone gets annoyed by his dry humor or antics
He can’t help but fight a smile as he tries to keep from laughing
Also! Yuki laugh is amazing
He has two different kinds he has his soft chuckles
And then his louder laughs which are still soft by normal standards but they are so filled with joy
So cute..
Rocket
Okay so even though rocket is a southern boy he will absolutely use his fake “bro” voice when meeting people you deem important cause he doesn’t wanna embarrass you
His worst fear is them seeing him as some southern loser
So his bro voice is very frat boy like
Typical college guy voice
Like stated before when flustered or angry his real voice seeps out
His real voice isn’t too deep or anything it’s very warm and happy
That southern accent though?! ✨Strong ✨
When he says darling you can feel that shit
Even him saying normal word it’s still strong as ever
It fits him so well though like his voice isn’t deep despite his height and build
When excited though he talks super fast
Another puppy boy
He is just so excited he can’t hold back his words so he’s talking a mile a minute
He just can’t stop!
His tone of voice very much shows how he feels
When sad his voice is soft and hushed down to a pouty whimper as he looks down shoulders slumped and posture just spilling out sadness
Same when he’s happy he is so perked up and just ✨happy✨
When he laughs it’s one of those loud happy laughs
Those laughs from deep in his chest
When he’s flustered or feeling submissive he has a very soft way of speaking that shows that he’s vulnerable at the moment
All around cute bara boy has cute voice
Rin
Twink
Just straight up a brat
Sounds like he could commit arson at any moment
He has this very cocky coy tone in his voice
Sounds kinda childish at times
He doesn’t take anything seriously so that’s to be expected honestly
His voice is quite high pitched yet smooth
When serious though his childish tone remains but it gets scarier and deadpan
“I’ll show you why you should never mess with me and my gang..”
He’s a person who grins when pissed so it’s hard to tell when he’s angry unless you hurt his darling
Ike if he’s tweaked off you won’t know
You won’t know any of his emotions honestly he kinda smiles though it all even if he’s depressed
When he loses that childish charm in his voice it’s usually when he’s having a breakdown
His voice sounds so weak and hurt and all his bottled up feeling explode
He’s a PFFFT laugher he usually laughs so hard his face turns red and he can’t breathe
As far as fake laughs it’s very cookie cutter just a few ha ha’s and that’s it.
When having..steamy times his voice lowers and that childish tone is there but it’s sadistic like he’s enjoying toying with you and breaking you
Zeke
The deepest voice out of all of them
Rich deep and sexy
Also a person with dry humor at times
Likes to respond with sounds as well
“Haaah?” “Hmmm..” “eh?” All those are acceptable
His voice rumbles in his chest
Put your hand on his chest while he’s talking and it’s like he’s purring
Very much likes using more slang terms
“If I were to rock your shit..would I be wrong?”
“Bitch do I look like boo-boo the fool to you?”
He grew up in a very cultured household so yeah he has different mannerisms of speaking unlike the others
He usually sounds bored or calm when he’s speaking to someone he doesn’t trust
Now his friends on the other hand this bitch hype
Constantly laughing, joking and grinning
He can’t stop being chaotic as hell
His tone is much louder as he’s more comfortable and he tends to use more swears and slang
When speaking in Spanish his voice is just as deep and he adores rolling his R’s every. Single. Time
As far as singing goes his voice is so smooth
Filled with soul and passion like he loves what he does
He has such a beautiful voice
Scarlett
Soft sweet and creepy
Hushed and very gentle
Her words are usually followed by a hush giggle
No matter how threatening she sounds there is always a sweet smile and giggle at the end
She likes the idea of toying with people so her voice always sounds so eel coming at first
Then her sadistic side kicks in and she’s stepping on you with her heel her voice drowning with pride
During those dom moments she can sound very degrading
Talking to you like you’re beneath her instead of an equal
But normally she is nothing short of kind
Even in yandere mode she never shouts or yells or does anything like that
It’s always calm collected and lightly frightening
Definite mother vibes
Just very nurturing
Yuuta
A deep voice member
Full delinquent
“Got something to fucking say to me?”
Aggressive as all hell
At least to strangers that is
To his darling or his twin it’s still lightly rough but also soft? I know confusing
He tries hard to keep that tough guy act up but when anxiety and everything hits he’s a mess
“E-eh!? W-why are you starin’ at me for!? G-go away!”
Hella paranoid all the time
During those anxious moments his stutters and tics are ranging in tone and pitch
He has various tics such as popping sounds, crude phrases like “no more daddy! Nope nope!” Or even “f-f-fucking c-cocks” and many others he can’t control these and they only come during panic attacks
Some of his other phrases are things he’s said as a child when his family would violate him so lot of them have the word stop and no in it
A “cute” one is if you were to say “whose a pretty boy” he would instantly reply “I’m a p-pretty b-boy!” Oddly enough that tic always makes him feel better and calm down
Anyways normal voice yuuta is tough boy
He scoffs a lot and plays this very dominating role
He likes to say nicknames like doll or angelface
Makes him feel tough
He usually tries to sound as sarcastic as humanly possible
But when he’s sad or vulnerable he whines so loud and is so clingy
“D-don’t leave me along! T-the monsters are g-gonna get me! Nooo! P-please!”
He’s like a scared child clinging to you sobbing and trying to jump in your arms just shaking
Yuuji
Also a twink voice
Except his has more sparkles in it
Kinda valley girl tone but not as annoying
Just a lot of “oh sweetie” and “honey no”
Super sugary sweet like so sweet and fake it could kill ya
Behind closed doors though
That sugary tone is the same just sadistic
“Oh sweetie, whose a sad little ball of trash? You are! Yes you are my little parasite!”
Talks in baby talk when degrading his darling and yuuta
They are beneath him in his eyes he’s god
So he should be treated as such
When pissed off his sweet tone stops and it’s pure disgust
“You bottom feeder, do you know who you’re fucking talking to?”
His pissed off voice would give you shivers from how cold it is
He can switch from angry to sweet and back again so fast like one minute he’s threatening to violate every hole you own and the next he’s like “I’m sorry! I’m being a big old meanie pants! Teehee let’s goooooo shoppinggg! Yayyy!”
Likes making his voice as cutesy as possible
Mostly cause when he switches to his more serious side the fear in their eyes is much more delicious
Ren
Y’all already know
Stutters every sentence
Can’t even form proper words without stuttering
Growls in anger when annoyed and sounds like he wants to rail you so hard you break
All around soft sweet voice
Whimpers every single time he speaks
When annoyed or gets more confidence his voice is soft but sharp
“You shouldn’t do that. Stop.”
Very short and quick like you better listen to him or else
His voice goes dead and his eyes show no mercy
He keeps his voice low and warm though
When happy he is just so warm and bright
Absolutely adorable
When ranting there are no stutters or anything he can talk for hours if you let him
Loud as fuck in bed though
Full on sobs and cries so loud the neighbors hear y’all
His voice cracks and squeaks as he pants heavily and tries not to pass out
All in all
Shy boi

Marlianken had sighed in disgust while scanning the documents. “I just don’t get it. What is it with people enjoying torturing innocents?”
Her comment had earned her puzzled looks. “What do you mean?”
“It’s just always the same old thing. They cry, they scream, they’ll ask their gods the typical ‘why me?’ question in several desperate ways … How can you enjoy something over and over again that’s never really changing. I mean … don’t get me wrong, it’s fun and all for a few times, but doesn’t it get boring after a dozen or so?”
The devil had been scratching his nose. “Now that you mention it, it sure is getting that taste of ‘same old’ after some time.”
“Right? Have you ever tried doing the same with guilty people?”
“Never really thought about it. Most of the time they either get killed immediately or we use them as life stock for Kyouhukou’s children.”
“Shame. You should try to torture them for once.” The elder succubus had flashed the devil a mischievous grin. “Nothing beats them first trying to reason with you. Some even think they can threaten a demon. But once they realize that the very thing happening to them is by some means what they were asking the fates to hand them when they behaved the way they did … “ She had tried and failed to suppress a full body shudder of excitement. “… now then they start really begging for their lives. They plead; they whine … they would sell you their entire family if it meant they could get out of there alive and in one piece.”
Chuckling, the seventh floor guardian had rearranged his glasses. “I see the appeal there. The potential is seemingly endless.”

Thank you for all your recs, they have been getting me through these tough times. Hope you are staying safe, sane and healthy! Do you have any recs for fic where everyone loves Yuuri, can be cannon or AU, I just love seeing my boi surrounded by the love he deserves!
You're welcome, nonnie! I'm glad what I'm doing (the only thing that feels kinda productive while in quarantine) is helpful to other people, especially in these trying times. Let's not forget to thank the writers and artists who provided and continue to provide us these pockets of happiness. I'm sure a kudos or comment will go a long way.
Now, for everyone loving Yuuri... Oh boy, I kinda feel overwhelmed because is there any yoi fic that's not basically a love letter to Yuuri, generally speaking? I know in this famdom, we love and support Katsuki Yuuri!!!
So, tried my best to put together a rec that's a mix of all kinds of love for Yuuri (familial, friendship, romantic, all around appreciation of our precious bean):
A Piece of Paradise by @voxofthevoid [T, 1.5K]
Yuuri took one look at the room – Viktor with hearts in his eyes as he stared at a terrifyingly familiar album, his mother smiling and clearly on the verge of squishing her son-in-law’s cheeks together, Mari hovering over the two with naked amusement in the twist of her mouth – and fled.
In which Victor is busy admiring his husband's baby pictures, and Yuuri stumbles into a sake-induced conversation with his mentor.
And the answer is... by nessiesaur [G, 1.5K]
Yuuri Katsuki is adorable, but also one of the most mature people in their class. Yuuri Katsuki is in her study group, which definitely saved her ass on the midterm. Yuuri Katsuki is…wait, who is he!?
Fields of Gold by Haro / @accioharo [G, 14K]
It’s difficult to believe that he’s inspired people like this; that children and teenagers in Japan and around the world lace up their skates or put on skates for the first time and think of Yuuri Katsuki, just like they think of or thought of Victor Nikiforov. He almost can’t take it. It’s too unbelievable. He’s just… Yuuri, after all.
Yuuri Katsuki with a stack of gold medals is still just Yuuri Katsuki.
He can imagine Victor repeating the same words back to him with his own name and how he’d argue that is absolutely not the case, and he laughs inwardly a bit at that.
(The story in which Yuuri Katsuki wins everything there is to win and retires as Japan's living legend, because he's incredible and beautiful and he deserves it. Aka 'Yuuri wins all the gold', the fic.)
Future!Verse ABO AU series by @yukipri [G to M, 16K] *WIP
a multi-media (art, comics, headcanons) Yuuri-centric polyamory (with Victor, Yuri, Phichit, Minami, Chris, and Otabek) a/b/o AU. Mostly domestic fluff with OC children.
Heartbreaker by @deathbycoldopen [E, 92K]
If you ask Yuuri, he'll say that he's never been on a date, or even been asked on one.
If you ask anyone else, they'll burst into tears.
***
Alternatively titled "Five times someone tried and failed to ask Yuuri out on a date, and one time they didn't have to."
hopeless, breathless, baby can't you see by @xyloophones [G, 15K]
The weekend of last year’s Rostelecom cup, Yuuri Katsuki declared his love for fried pork in a press conference, got caught by paparazzi rescuing a dog from a river, revealed a short program costume that showed off his multitude of soulmate marks, and broke Viktor’s world record. All while being, objectively, the cutest human being on the planet.
The entire skating world–– including Viktor–– fell in love instantly.
Or: a soulmate au where the first time you touch your soulmate(s), colored marks appear on your skin. Yuuri has more marks than Viktor’s ever seen on someone. Viktor has none.
Jason's Master Plan (to dating the Cute Asian Guy) by @qwertzu824 [T, 9K]
Jason Hesling, young ice hockey prodigy, rising star of Detroit Ice Tigers and part-time model, had a smile that made women and men alike weak at their knees. It’s been a while since anyone managed to catch his attention – until he met the Cute Asian Guy at Detroit Ice Castle and decided to become his next boyfriend.
Meanwhile, the actual Ice Tiger™ is having the time of his life watching the pretentious JJ-wannabe trying to charm the pants off the completely oblivious, happily married Katsudon.
just like me they long to be by sparklespiff / @todaythesamesky [T, 4K]
"Haven't you noticed that Yuuri gets everything he wants?"
"Everything that's in somebody else's power to give him," Mari says, before Victor can bring up last year's GPF. "He's not magic, just pretty."
"But it's like magic. My theory is that it's because he's sneaky beautiful, so you're not expecting it, and then, under all that stuff, whoa! Gorgeous. And it's too late to save yourself."
"Stuff?" Victor keeps smiling but makes his voice cold, the way he does when reporters overstep. His Yuuri doesn't have stuff. Everything about him is beautiful.
or:
Yuuri lives in a Beautiful Person Bubble. It's Victor's responsibility to make sure he never finds out.
katsuki_fc wrote by tetsurashian [G, 12K]
Just because Yuuri isn't big on social media, doesn't mean his fans aren't.
(aka a social media fic)
Macaroni & Kisses by Jaeger_Babe [G, 6K]
Their college is holding a contest for whoever can raise the most money for charity. The prize; a years supply of Mac and Cheese. Cue Phichit, a hungry and unstoppable force, fully prepared to exploit the campus' love for Yuuri Katuski by opening a kissing booth for a day.
Even if they don't win, it's worth it to see Yuuri's face when he tells him Victor Nikiforov is in line.
my better self by @spookyfoot [G, 1.5K]
Mila's the first friend Yuuri's made in Russia. Technically, Yuuri became friends with Yurio in Hasetsu, but he'd never say that to Yurio's face.
On his first day training in Russia, Mila stole Yuuri from the rink and showed him pictures of Victor and Georgi wearing Spice Girls t-shirts Victor had picked up at a consignment shop during Skate America in 2006, and a video of them skating a synchronized routine to "Stacy's Mom."
"Don't let anyone here intimidate you. I guarantee none of them are scarier than Yura." They watched Victor skate circles around Yuri on the ice, Mila's camera primed for blackmail material—just in case.
_________
Yuuri and some of the women in his life, through the years.
Smokes & Stone by @94mercy [T, 4K]
Mari is five years old and she is watching her little sister grow inside her mother’s stomach.
Mari is eighteen years old and she is watching her little brother’s obsession decorate his room in more merchandise than any one person should own.
Mari is twenty-four years old and she is watching her little brother leave his family behind to chase his dreams.
Mari is thirty years old and she is watching her little brother fall in love.
or
snapshots from the Katsuki siblings' lives wherein Mari attempts to be the best sister that's ever existed
The Way to Life and Love is a Curved Trajectory by @crossroadswrite [T, 5K]
“Do you know Katsuki Yuuri?” Victor asks Chris, two minutes later, when he finally manages to convince himself to stop looking at the dip of Katsuki’s back and his powerful thighs in those tight Mizuno track pants, and the way his hands are poised in the air mid-skate, and his slicked back hair and brown eyes and flushed cheeks.
Christophe hums into the phone in a way that suggests he not only knows Katsuki Yuuri but he’s acquainted with him. Chris’ version of acquaintance is very physical and usually involves a healthy amount of groping. “Don’t you?”
“He’s Japan’s Ace,” Victor says, trying to rack his brain for more information. “His step sequence is good?”
Chris hums again. “You’re not that oblivious that you haven’t heard of Unfairly Beautiful Yuuri.”
“Who?”
(Or, the one where Victor falls - literally and then figuratively - for Yuuri. Also something about a Best Ass Poll that is way more official than it should be.)
Yuri Anonymous by preciousbunnynoiz [T, 2K]
Phichit runs a support group for all the people with unrequited crushes on Katsuki Yuri.
Which is everyone.
Everyone has a crush on Yuri.
P.S. I'm also linking this previous rec of some personal favorites and podium family/YuuYu friendship because they're also full of Yuuri-love.

HeartCatch.
I just finished HeartCatch and I can confirm, it’s amazing! Spoilers ahead.
It’s not perfect, obv. What does it do best? Develop individually each character, create original characters who feel incredibly fresh even nowadays, have charming side characters.
What does it do worst? Relationships between characters tend to be slightly underdeveloped. Tsubomi and Erika got it best cuz main characters. Yuri, however, has only been shown developing with Tsubomi. I wish we could see her spending more time with Momoka, Erika’s sister. She doesn’t have important interactions with Erika and Itsuki (besides telling her not to lose Potpourri and doing Fortissimo with her, which seems to be an important detail according to Marine, but). Itsuki in general feels slightly underdeveloped compared to the other three; she’s more of a background developer; you see her evolve, but not on the spotlight. Erika and Itsuki, to me, have great chemistry with Erika being so full of energy and Itsuki being so relaxed, but they don’t really have many many moments. Tsubomi, trust me, has a crush on Itsuki. Nobody can convince me otherwise. Even after she discovers Itsuki’s a girl, she still blushes around her. They have a cute relationship.
Also... before starting HeartCatch I was used to Healin Good’s interactions between Cure and fairy partner, so watching this I felt that was weak. Potpourri and Coffret got their chapters having problems with their partner, and Coffret had an amazing moment with Marine during her last fight with Kumojacky. Chypre and Tsubomi didn’t have any of this, besides being... sweet towards each other? I don’t really know what’s Chypre’s personality is. They were ok, but I wish they had more moments. Fairies’ designs are incredibly cute, tho. Potpourri is one of my favorite fairies. We saw Cologne just for a little, but I really liked him, too. He looked like a serious and snarky character, and seemed like a good partner to Yuri (even if he couldn’t convince her to get teammates). And Coupe. Coupe is amazing. His design, his human form, his relationship with Kaoruko, his dynamic with her. Everything. He scared me when he started fighting in his fairy form. I love him. And he only talks one time. Characters don’t need words to be amazing.
Villains were memorable. I loved purified Sasorina being happy as a teacher, because I really cared for her. Kumojacky was incredibly interesting with his weird strength speeches and Cobraja was funny using his Snackeys as fans. Dark Precure. That’s all I have to say. Her. I cried when she died. She just wanted to be loved by her father. She just wanted to be her true daughter. Just... her entire dynamic with Moonlight is sooo enjoyable and charming. Sometimes, I wish she’d be purified. She’d make a good tragic Cure. Sabaaku was ok, he wasn’t interesting that much until everything was revealed and it all made sense. Dune really was cruel, making a father work against his daughter while creating her a little sister and making them fight. Dune wasn’t really something. His desing was good, slightly weird. His backstory isn’t shown, but novel’s one is ok and explains many of his twisted mind things.
Fights were very good. I liked their variety of attacks, but I wish they had more to do with flowers or with their elements (Sunshine’s good, tho, she uses sunflowers). I know some people dislike Blossom’s weakness, but I actually love it. She’s the pink Cure, she should be the powerful incredible one but instead she’s weak. Even after she starts changing, she’s still weak compared to the others. But she’s not useless; her words give her teammates the strength to fight (see Yuri after she realised who Sabaaku was), she always knows what to say and it’s a natural ability. Her ideals are great. Oh, and I love how she’s so shy, I relate to her a lot. I also feel like I’m the weakest of my friends because I’m not physically strong nor fast, and I’m very introverted. I loved every single time Moonlight fighted, she’s so graceful. Desertrian’s designs were fine, they were fun but not too ridiculous. I loved the mechanic of Heart Flowers and their meanings. Things like this make every season unique. Oh, and Snackeys were incredibly fun, they had so much personality! I loved the one that got stronger and started training their teammates.
Side characters were very, very charming. I truly liked Kaoruko, Momoka, Kenji and Nanami. Kaoruko, particulary, is one of my favorite characters and I love her Cure form. She’s pretty, strong, wise and interesting. Trust me, she’s great. Overall, I liked HeartCatch’s sidestories and “filler” episodes.
Music was bestest.
Attacks were fine, not my cup of tea. I prefer something like GoPri, having each character have very different attacks. Fortissimo was really original and gimmicky, tho. And Shining Fortissimo is just... nice! They literally mix their attacks. Props to Sunshine for being the only sun cure that actually creates something similar to a sun. Orchestra was nice, too.
Movie was very interesting, too. I enjoyed it and I really liked Olivier. I wish we had more with Cure Ange, tho.
HeartCatch is a great season. All of the four main Cures are interesting. Blossom is shy and introverted, she wants to change but doesn’t fing the way to do so until she meets more people. Marine is so full of energy that she sometimes doesn’t think about others, she’s envious of her sister but overcomes it after finding out that Momoka’s jelaous of her too, and I really love how she slowly matures while not losing her charm. Itsuki is a very calm character, her main gimmick is her strange relationship with gender; she believed she had to be like a boy in order to be strong, and she didn’t want to show her love for cute things because toxic masculinity standarts...; but eventually, she realised she could be strong and like cute things. She’s so soothing and cool, but she’s not usually on the spotlight. And Yuri’s just... very well done. She’s strong, serious, centered and focused; but she has a deep trauma that she can’t overcome, until she talks with her deceased partner one last time and finally lets him go. Her tragedy doesn’t end there, tho; her father dies and her mortal enemy is revealed to be something like a blood sister, and dies too. Yet she has the strength to fight as a Precure, using love instead of hatred (she needed to heard Tsubomi’s words first, tho). And she overcame her loner problems, too; she finally accepted having teammates. I just wish she had more time to develop with Erika and Itsuki. I believe Sunshine and Moonlight could’ve been a duo.
I know some people don’t like the designs, but I personally enjoyed them. Btw, Erika with a ponytail is so pretty.
Next I’m gonna watch Maho, I think. I want to see if it’s as boring as people tend to say. I love magical things and elemental themes so... Yeah.

~10 Characters from 10 Fandoms Tag~
Oooh fun! Thank you so much for the tag @lydzisanerd This list is in no particular order. Also just want to add that this was very difficult to do because I can’t just pick one favorite from each (anime) fandom. 😢
1. Ukai Keishin - Haikyuu!!
Started off my HQ! journey crushing on Daichi (and I still do, he shares a first place with Ukai tbh), but my feelings for him randomly hits HARD when I see him rage drives back to school to get Kageyama in his little yellow car.
He’s so hardworking: running the store, farming, coaching the team, AND spends his free time coming up with strategies instead of passing out? Sure he may be grumpy at times (which I find hilarious), but I don’t blame him. Seeing all the little proud smiles, cheering and glances at his baby crows when they learn something new just gets my heart fluttering. Very husband material ✅
Like his protective dad reflex is on point ^
2. Touta Matsuda - Death Note
He’s a cinnamon roll who just wants to do something correctly for once! Honestly, everyone in Death Note has their own dark side, and having him on screen is such a treat.
I sympathize with him, I know how it feels to think that you are incompetent when you compare yourself to others, especially if you are the youngest person, and when you fear incompetence, some moves you do can end up poorly if it was done out of frustration instead of logic. But that doesn’t stop him, he keeps trying and I look up to him for that (though it gave L a big headache lol). He also just wants someone to love him 😭 Must protect.
3. Sokka - Avatar the Last Airbender
Another funny character that I love very much! It’s been a while since I’ve seen this show, so forgive me if I got somethings wrong.
He’s not a bender, but that does not stop him from continuing to grow stronger, as he later picks up sword fighting and so on. Like Matsuda, he teaches me that it is ok to feel not so great when you accidentally compare yourself to others (because his sister is freaking strong), but you should use that feeling to encourage yourself to grow in your own way; and that it is ok if your attempts are a fail sometimes.
He’s also hella cute and he actually makes me laugh.
4. Iruka Umino - Naruto
Another husband material character. Stable, kind and loving, he’s passionate about what he does and he cares about his students. Maybe I just have a thing for older responsible characters who takes care of children, who knows 🤷🏻♀️
And he’s a little adorably clumsy sometimes.
5. Levi Ackerman - Attack on Titans
He’s a popular character, so I’m not surprised that I ended up liking him a lot too, and I totally understand why. I’m not usually into stoic and violent characters, but after reading about his past and seeing the little gestures of protectiveness and care he does to his comrades and close friends, I respect him. Also a dad, but like, a tough love kind of dad lol.
His fights are always so badass, he moves like the wind!!
6. Hanataro Yamada - Bleach
Someone...please protect him. I love his character so much, and I know he’s usually there for comic relief, but I can’t help but smile every time he does. Another character who struggles with feeling weak and incompetent, but this boy is trying his best. He’s willing to step up to protect the ones he love even if he KNOWS he’s going to lose and is very scared. I respect that a lot, and I just want to give him the warmest hug.
Also, something about his relatively tired face and soft voice that juxtaposes his “high level” of energy and enthusiasm is hilarious to me. He’ll pull all nighters to heal his friends when they need him, he’s just someone you can rely on.
Look at him goo!! 😂
7. Seijuro Shin - Eyeshield 21
I honestly don’t know why he was my favorite from the series, I don’t really remember much about the manga tbh, since it’s been well over 10+ years since I’ve read it/seen the anime. But I remember gasping when I see him on the cover of the issue and I was staring at it for a while. One could say he was one of my earlier manga crushes?
But I recall him being a little awkward and his unawareness of his strength is hilarious.
8. F. F. - Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure, Stone Ocean
A hilarious simple minded character, or should I say Plankton, hahah! There’s so many characters in JJBA, but I just think F.F.'s (poor) attempt at being a human is funny, They also remind me to drink water every time they make an appearance, so that’s an added benefit.
9. Jean-Jacques Leroy - Yuri On Ice
Ok ok, this character gets a lot of dislikes, and the reason why I like him is deeper than the fact that he is a ridiculously attractive talented Canadian ice skater okaayy? Hear me out.
There are many times when I would cringe and get second hand embarrassment at some of the things he’s done, but he’s not really trying to hurt anyone. This man is trying to chase his dream, and prove his self-worthiness to his family and the people who supports him. And he’s also just trying to get people to eat lunch with him, dammit.
Instead of simply bathing in the love and cheer of his supporters, his people pleaser personality backfires, and the pressure of not letting people down becomes too immense. I believe he gets to where he is because he is an example of someone who feels incompetent (once again), but is never afraid to pick himself back up and keep trying.
Unlike Yuuri (Who I also really like), he doesn’t have someone like Victor to work with him on his fears technically (I know he’s engaged, but she’s not an ice skater, so all she can do is cheer from the sidelines, instead of being on ice with him). He’s devastated but it did not stop him from picking his head back up to smile and try again.
He’s just a harmless awkward people pleaser boy who does not understand how to fit in with the others, because he grew up around his big family, and that is the only world he knows how to be a part of. I think the others were a little unfair to him when they keep ignoring him. He just makes bad jokes that happens to upset Yuri, though I’m sure that if Yuri approaches him maturely and tells him how much it bothers him, he would stop and apologize.
10. Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop
Tbh I never finished the show, the story telling style is just not for me, but I might try again sometime in the future. However, I kept watching it for a while because I really enjoy Spike’s characterization. He’s so relatable, especially in parts where he’s just trying to recover from his hangovers, and his fights are very entertaining to watch. I feel a sense of authenticity in him, because he acts exactly the way he wants to, and he has no shame. Also, his playful demeanor and crazy appetite is endearing.
