Revealing more things about Ando, the revived sheep, and some of his little history (owo)

I'm still defining my style for this, but I think it turned out well 👍

For now this is all (UuU)

I hope you like it!

Extra: Another look from Narinder because I also liked this version, although I discarded it because it was not in line with what I wanted to achieve (U-U)

He looks like he's looking at a new toy, the sheep, please protect your brother XD

LOVING the potential for bird based lingo. People being referred to as birds, groups as flocks, stuff like that

"Send out the carrier pigeons and make sure they get back to roost on time. Can't have another spat with the weather down the line." Or smth I dunno

Vent systems set up all around Thneedville to help with flight?

Little checkpoint towers, for lack of a better term? For a brief rest during long trips. Maybe they've got an icebox with snacks in there ouo

"Birdwatchers" who track and intercept flights, using nets and stuff to down the bird and steal whatever they're carrying?

I already mentioned this somewhere but in the center of Thneedville is this big ol tower with the Onceler's office at the very top, and it's got big open windows for birds to fly in with deliveries and important news and the like

Incoherent AU thoughts I need to get out of my system

Lost self confidence

Anon: Can I request a lil one-shot where y/n has been on the team for a while and she put on some weight/starts feeling insecure about it and Gibbs helps her feel better? :> If not it's okay (Preferably a lot of fluff, angst & smut up to you)

Anon: Can I ask for a plus sized reader and gibbs please? I never see them :( Maybe someone says something about her weight when theyre working a case or something and he does the gibbs-legendary-elevator-conversation??? OuO

I thought those two requests work well together. Enjoy, lovely anons! ❤️

Warnings: punch, mention of blood, hurtful comments about weight

~~~~~

Your body changed. A lot. More than you like to admit.

You have been avoiding mirrors for a while now, but as you stand in front of it right now, only dressed in underwear, you have to face it. Your body changed and you don’t like it. Actually, you hate it.

As you look at your stomach that used to be flat, your hips that are larger, the celulitis… you can’t help but to think it’s no wonder you’re alone. Who could you attract, looking like this? Not many people and definitely not the man you wish you had. He has probably noticed how your body is different. Maybe before, you stood a chance with the man but not anymore. It’s a lost cause.

You put some clothes on and left for work.

You and your team are working on a tricky case, you are not impatient to get into the office today. But as always, you put on your best smile and pretend that everything is okay. Even though it’s most definitely not.

You skipped breakfast this morning - on purpose - but when you sit at your desk, you can see a brown bag sitting there. You look inside; donuts. Not just regular donuts, but your two favorites.

“Gibbs’s treat.” Tony lets you know.

“What’s the occasion?” you casually answer, putting the bag aside. It’s definitely a bad idea to eat them.

“No occasion. You’re just his favorite,”

You can’t help but smile at this. Not that it’s true, but it feels nice anyway. Before, you would have been happy about your boss’s attention, but not today. “Aren’t you going to eat them?”

“I’m not hungry. Do you want them?”

Tony grabs the bag before you know it. At least, you won’t have to throw them away.

You put yourself into work quickly after. You need to take your mind off your insecurities and how bad you feel about yourself. Tony tries to make casual conversation, just being his old self but as you barely answer, he realizes that something’s wrong with you. He just doesn’t know what.

“You’re staring.” You say to him, without looking up from your computer screen.

“You’re in a bad mood.” He states.

“Am not.”

“Y/N, please.” He stands up from his desk and walks up to yours. “I’m a trained investigator. Talk to me.”

“Not a chance.” You keep working, avoiding eye contact. You’re scared that he may read into you, or worse; that you may cry if he starts to ask too many questions.

“Did Gibbs get the order wrong?” He jokes. He doesn’t mean wrong at all, but it sets you off.

“Just-- leave me alone, DiNozzo.”

You practically jump for your chair, grab your laptop and walk away from the bullpen, leaving your coworker in awe. He’s not sure what just happened, but he’s more convinced that something’s really not okay with you.

You spend the next two hours hiding in the conference room. You didn’t work much, you mostly cried and felt sorry for yourself. You really hate yourself and your body right now. It’s not about gaining some weight, it’s also about how lonely you feel. You love your team more than anything, they really are like your family but when you get home at night, it’s just you. You and your thoughts. You and your loneliness.

You just want someone to get home to. Someone to cuddle, someone to love and who loves you back, someone to fall asleep with. Just someone.

You had your face buried in your arms when you heard the door opening. You look up, ashamed. Gibbs is standing here.

He closes the door behind him and walks to you. “You okay, Y/N?” he softly asks.

“Y-yeah. Just a bit tired.”

“You know, if DiNozzo pissed you off, you can tell me.”

You chuckle. “Nah, it’s nothing he did. I guess I got up on the wrong foot this morning, that’s it.”

Gibbs did let it go - for now - but you knew he didn’t buy any of it.

That is later's concern though, there is some news on the case and you need to get going. The afternoon went better; your mind was focused on the case, you didn’t have time to think of the rest. It’s only when you get back home that it hits again. Before taking a shower, you put a sheet on the big mirror in your bedroom. You don’t want to face your reflection for now.

*****

The next morning, you are in a better mood. Not entirely, you still skipped breakfast and avoided all the mirrors but you made a decision: you won’t let the team know. You won’t let them see you’re going through a tough time. It would only make things worse.

Everything’s going okay until that stupid lawyer shows up. You never wanted to see him again after hooking up with him over a year ago. He seemed nice and good looking, he flirted with you the whole time he was in the office, so when he invited you for a drink, you said yes.

Your agreement had something to do with Gibbs’s flirting with that shrink but to this day, you keep telling yourself that it hadn’t.

After a few drinks, you let the lawyer kiss you and before you knew it, you took him home and you had a one night stand.

The sex wasn’t the problem, you actually had a lot of fun. The problem was the next day.

He was gone before you woke up - still not a problem. But when Gibbs yelled at you for giving him some private information, you understood your mistake. The man had used you. While you were sleeping, he looked into your files and found the information he needed to save his client’s butt.

After that, Gibbs gave you the silent treatment for weeks. And he stopped being mad at you after you came to see him in his basement and did your mea culpa. No one ever talked about it since.

But now, the same man is standing in the middle of the bullpen. You growled to yourself before going in.

You don’t greet him at all, just sit at your desk. “Y/N? That’s you?” he says, apparently shocked.

You look at him briefly and don’t answer.

“My god, what happened to you?” he adds.

“Excuse you?” you snap.

“God, if you had been looking like this last year, I wouldn’t have been able to use you.”

His sentence feels like a punch in your stomach, it hurts. But it shouldn’t and you know it. But it still does. You stay there a moment, not knowing if you want to cry and beat the crap out of him. Probably both at the same, but you don’t move or don’t say a thing, you’re like frozen. You barely don’t notice when Gibbs pushes the man towards the elevator.

“Are you okay, Y/N?” Ziva asks.

In the elevator

“Overprotective much, Gibbs?” the lawyer tries to appear confident and unafraid. He has his back against the wall, and in a second, he can hear Gibbs’s fist hitting a few inches away from his head. If the fist had touched his nose, he probably would have needed plastic surgery.

“Ever in your life, you disrespect a woman like that again, and especially--especially not Y/N.”

The lawyer made many people angry over the years, but never had he seen a man as angry as Gibbs looks right now.

“The only reason my hand is in this wall and not your face right now, is because she wouldn’t want me to get in trouble, but trust me when I say that all I want to do right now is to shoot you right in your precious parts.”

Gibbs is panting from anger. He can’t remember the last time he said that many words at once. But there’s no way that he or anyone else can disrespect you like this. Never, under his watch.

“So I’m gonna be very clear, you give that case to someone else. I don’t give a shit who, you just do it. And I don’t ever want to see your face again. Cause if I do, you’ll be so disfigured, you won’t be able to get another woman. Ever.”

“I could sue you for those threats, Special Agent Gibbs.”

“Are you planning to?”

“Maybe I am.”

“Well, in that case--”

This time, Gibbs’s fist hit the nose.

Meanwhile, in the bullpen

“Are you okay, Y/N?” Ziva asks.

“Yeah-yeah,” you clearly lie as your eyes are watering.

Your coworker isn’t buying it. She takes a step forward and hugs you softly. “Please, don’t let him get to you.” she whispers in your ear. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

Those words make you cry. You are not really buying them, but it does something to hear them. And you know deep inside that Ziva wouldn’t say something she doesn’t think.

As she keeps hugging, you can feel someone else’s arms wrapping around both of you. It’s Tony and shortly after, Tim is joining. “I think we should call Ducky. We’re going to have a crime scene.” Tony jokes to light the mood.

“I don’t want Gibbs to put himself in trouble for me.” you sadly say.

“Y/N, if Gibbs hadn’t taken him in the elevator, we would all have jumped on him.” Tim tells you. Which surprises you because Tim is the one to avoid a fight as much as he can.

“Also, the only reason I’m not asking you out is because of Rule 12.”

You are about to answer to Tony when you can hear the elevator’s doors opening. You let go of one another and watch Gibbs as he comes back to you and takes you by the hand. “Someone may have to call 911.” he tells the rest of the team.

Gibbs takes you to the other elevator, the one that leads to the lower floors, where Abby’s lab and Autopsy are. But of course, he switches the button as soon as the doors close. He doesn’t say a thing, he just hugs you tight. “Your hand is blue, Gibbs.” you cry in his neck.

“Yeah and his nose is red, who cares.” he kisses your hair. “I don’t want you to cry because of him, Y/N. And especially not because of what he said.”

“But Gibbs--”

“Not ‘but’, Y/N. Look at me.” he softly grabs your chin with his non-injured hand and forces you to look into his eyes. “You may not believe me right now, but you’re beautiful, Y/N. Sexy. Hot.” you uncontrollably shake your head, not buying a word he says. “I know I’m not the best with words, so I’ll let my actions speak.”

Gibbs ducks his head just a bit and closes the gap between his lips and yours. He softly kisses. You probably have never been kissed this softly before. Gibbs is so gentle and tender, his lips move slowly but expertedly. You’re literally melting under him.

The kiss may have lasted for minutes, hours, you don’t really know. You lost track of time, as if the world had stopped spinning.

“I’m sorry I waited for something like this to happen to do it. I’ve wanted this for a very long time, Y/N.”

“Me, too, Gibbs. But I’m not sure that’s the best time. I’ve lost all self confidence and--”

He kisses you again, undoubtedly to make you shut up. “I’ll help you find it again. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes.”

You rest your forehead against his, some tears are still rolling down your cheeks. “You’re not bad with words.”

“I’m still better with touch.”

ᴍɪꜱꜱᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ? | ᴅᴀʙɪ/ᴛᴏᴜʏᴀ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ | ᴘᴀʀᴛ 5: ᴛʀᴀɪɴɪɴɢ ᴅᴀʏ 1

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Valentine’s Special | Part 6: TBA

(AN: Sorry this took a few days, life kicked me in the backside but hey new part!

Part 6 may come by tomorrow or Sunday, depends, but as I've (I think??) mentioned before I have this fairly planned out already so updates I'm going to try to stay up on! ouo 

A warning, I've said before too that this doesn't fully follow canon, like... Very much at all. XD So I'm sorry if things are different from anything canon, it's going to start deriving from canon in a few parts from now so this a quick warning about that. But this fic has a happy end, I've already planned out! 

Anyways, enough of my rambling, let's hop in yeah?)

[(F/n)'s POV]

        I have so many thoughts running through my mind about all of this. Already my brain was wrapped about Touya turning up and finding out who he became, but now thinking about him helping Kaoru train with me supervising... I don't know why my head won't stop running in circles around these thoughts.

        Driving to the training area I park, getting out with Kaoru whose arms hold a back pack, and I smile at my friend and work colleague, Ira-san whose hand I shake as I say,"Hey, thank you so much for this, Ira-san, it really means a lot."

        "No problem, no problem, y'know I'm always here to help you and this little guy," the older woman grins, ruffling Kaoru's crimson locks. He blushes in embarrassment but doesn't stop her, scratching his cheek. "Just head on in, I'm gonna head out since I have some cases to go over, so here." She hands me the keys, adding,"Please lock up when you leave. Oh, you mentioned that Todoroki kid was coming right?"

        "Not anymore, he, uh, got busy, so it'll just be me and Kaoru unless he shows up," I lie, my son glancing at me but not saying anything since he seems to understand why. Ira-san shrugs and holds up a thumbs up, giving Kaoru a tight hug before waving as she leaves. I wait for her car to drive off before turning to look at the training area. It isn't glamorous like some UA would have but I've seen inside, it works just as well. It's a large building, windows making up the roof although they're nearly impossible to see through, and the walls made up of metal plating. The area around the property is quite nice, and walking up to the door I hold it open for Kaoru before walking inside after him. The inside you walk right into the training area, which looks bigger inside than out; the floors and walls are matted, there are a few doors that hold an array of equipment to the left while to the right one door that takes you too a break room and a locker area. Next to the right door are buttons, most likely that bring out dummies, or possibly switch things in the room around.

        Telling Kaoru to go change into the training clothes he brought I head off to the back of the training room where another door is that leads to the back of the propety, where more training grounds are set up. I knock 3 times and wait, and when I hear 3 back I unlock and open the door, stepping back as Dabi steps in, dressed in a hoodie, instead of his coat along with a mask and sunglasses to hide his face. He lowers the mask and takes off the glasses to look at me.

        "I'm guessing your disguise worked?" I ask, shutting the door as he starts to take hoodie off too. I look away when his shirt raises as he does this, scratching my hot cheek and trying to pretend I didn't see his rather lean, scarred up torso.

        "A few people looked but I'm here, aren't I?" he replies, starting to walk over to the front of the area, his cerulean orbs taking everything in. 

        "True, Kaoru will be happy to see you," I say, walking beside him.

        "What about you?"

        "Huh?" I cock a brow, looking up at him puzzled and stopping when he does. He tilts his head slightly, his aloof expression never changing, as he asks,"Are you happy to see me?" I'm a bit taken back by this and my cheeks start to turn more red, coughing and averting my eyes while scratching the back of my head.

        "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" I say, before shaking my head and looking at him again, trying to hide the fact he flustered me a little there. "B-But only because of Kaoru getting help!" Judging by the twitch of the corners of his mouth I don't think he bought it completely, even if that is at least half the reason I'm glad he made it. He won't stop staring at me and I turn away, gesturing him to follow me as I say,"Anyways, I'll show you where everything is."

        My stupid heart won't shut up, which doesn't make any of this any better. While my brain keeps screaming at me reminding me he's a villain, a big time one, my heart seems to not care much about that; I... I can't still love him now, right? 10 years is a long time, but apparently not long enough to forget about the feelings you shared for someone, especially with all the other factors staring at you in the face.

        I gasp as I trip over a mat with the corner sticking out while so lost in my thoughts, and as I go to fall forward I feel an arm quickly wrap around my waist and I'm pulled back; my back presses against a bigger body, my eyes peering down noting the scarred up, stapled arm and hand looped around me, and I can feel the light air of his breath brushing my hair and ear. His grip doesn't loosen, and I can feel his intense gaze boring into me, and cautiously I bring my hands down to lightly touch his arm to finally feel the scars. It's definitely a strange sensation, the dry, cracked feeling of his incredibly sensitive skin, but I freeze realizing what I'm doing. Realizing the situation we're in. And my (eye color) eyes lift as I raise my head to find his face is close to mine and my heart starts thundering in my ears as for a split second... the scars disappear and his hair is red again and he looks just like Touya again from my memory. I have an idea flash through my mind, the urge to touch his face and even brush my lips on his, but it's gone as soon as it comes.

        His eyes leave mine to look up as the door leading to the break room and lockers opens and he lets me go, saying,"Be more careful." He starts walking over to Kaoru, whose eyes light up and he runs over excitedly to Dabi, while I stand there frozen in place. I bring my hand to my chest, my heart won't stop pounding and I take a deep breath in hopes of calming myself.

        I can't seem to wrap my head around what happened, or why he almost looked like he held... regret in his eyes.

[X][X][X]

        I watch the boys begin their training from my seat on a bench by the front doors, and it starts with Dabi saying,"Okay, show me what you can do right now."

        Kaoru swallows and turns away, taking a deep breath and lifting his hands. Immediately a force field starts growing directly in front of him; what stands out from my own are the obvious blue flames licking over the outside of it, and as he focuses on it it suddenly grows and he gasps, his hands now pressed against the outside. And he whimpers as his hands start getting burned, but he can't seem to stop it, like his mind has gone blank with him both trying to control it and endure the pain. I don't even have the chance to tell him to calm down as Dabi beats me to it, saying,"Kaoru, look at me."

        The moment he does Kaoru jolts and turns his head to meet his dad's eyes, clearly scared, but the force field immediately disappears. He looks surprised, although his hands hold burns already, but Dabi walks over to him and kneels, asking,"You looked kind of dazed there, was it hard finding the control over it?" Kaoru stares at his hands, nodding, meeting his dad's matching eyes.

        "Yeah, I get nervous whenever I get ready to use it so I think I panic when it starts to get bigger," my boy admits, scratching behind his head. Dabi doesn't say anything right away, looking around the room before his cerulean gaze returns to his 'mini me'.

        "Can you only do them close to you or can you make them further away?"

        "I-I don't think I've ever tried making any that were far away from me, maybe once but that's it," Kaoru admits, Dabi standing and his eyes trailing around the room again before he points to the right at a mat a few feet away from the two.

        "Focus your attention on that spot and try making one there," Dabi tells him, Kaoru looking confused.

        "Bu-But what if I can't?"

        "I'm guessing part of your ability to make them deals with concentrating on them, right? When you focus on a spot or someone you can probably make one where they're at, so just stare at that spot, forget that your mom and I are here, and make one even if it's small."

        Kaoru looks very wary about this, we tried once to train him a little to do that, but things didn't go well and Kaoru I think remembers this. Turning his attention to the mat Dabi was telling him to focus on he takes a deep breath again and stares at it. I stay as quiet as possible, same with Dabi, and slowly Kaoru raises one hand with the palm up; the force field he makes isn't huge, or even remotely big, but it does grow on the spot and I'm surprised at how much control he's in. 

        Dabi nods and taps his arm, Kaoru blinking out of it and lowering his hand, his eyes widening and the child looking shocked. Once he processes what just happened he grins wide and first looks at Dabi, exclaiming,"I, I did it!! I did it, a-and I wasn't even scared!!" before turning to me and asking,"Did you see, mom?"

        I smile and nod, excited for him as I say,"I did, dad's a good teacher, huh?"

        Kaoru nods before turning back to Dabi. The man still has his aloof expression but from where I'm sitting I see his eyes soften. I'm pretty sure by now I'm not just seeing things, right? 

        "Good job, 'mini me', now, let's go for something bigger," he tells Kaoru, who seems to not look bothered by the nickname and agrees, already in position to go again.

        An hour passes and the two have kept at it, Dabi showing example with his own fire how to stay in control and telling Kaoru where to make force fields as well as to imagine the size in his head (which works, Kaoru seems to have started figuring out how to make them bigger right off the bat without first going from small and growing it). Right now he can only do one, which is totally fine, as long as he can control just the one, and after another hour or two passes the two decide to call it a day since Kaoru is looking tired. Standing I make my way over to Dabi while our son goes to change, although I hesitate after what happened earlier. I tell my heart to cut it out in my head while my voice says,"That went fantastic, you're a pretty good teacher, you know that?"

        He cocks a brow and shrugs, running his fingers through his raven locks, responding,"I had my fair share of 'training', remember?"

        "True, but you were actually calm and even pretty patient with him," I counter, crossing my arms looking up at him. I smile, adding,"He learned quite a bit though with this alone, thank you, Tou-" I abruptly stop, clearing my throat.

        "... It's fine," he responds as I go to fix my slip.

        "What is?" I ask him, puzzled.

        "Calling me Touya, I guess if it's you... It's fine," he tells me, and my face slightly heats up. I nod, meeting his eyes and continuing,"Then thank you, Touya." It's weird, the feeling of that name slipping off my lips. It's been a long time since I've said it without feeling empty or sad. Instead I'm smiling warmly, and Dabi averts his gaze, turning his head away and rubbing his neck. If I didn't know him any better I'd say I caught pink dusting his cheeks, and when I try to look he keeps turning away.

        "Do you not like me saying your name, Touya?" I ask in a false innocent way, teasing him.

        "No, it's fine, so shut up and go get Kaoru," He snaps, a snicker I couldn't hold back escaping at how snippy he got all of a sudden.

        "Okay, Touya." I turn and go to Kaoru who walks out, who proceeds to ask,"Why is dad looking at you like that?"

        "He's just a grump," I answer, able to feel the glare digging holes into my back. "Anyways, you look pretty tired, you ready to go home?" He nods without hesitating, yawning and looking ready to lay down right there and sleep. Dabi comes over, already dressed in the hoodie, sunglasses, and mask, and kneeling he tells Kaoru,"Hop on my back."

        Kaoru, who doesn't look to think much about it, does as told and wrapping his arms around his dad's neck he hops onto the ravenette who wraps his arms under our son's legs and hoists him onto his back. He stands, ready to follow me out, but I quickly take a picture of the two together.

        "... What are you doing?"

        "Don't worry, you're disguised, it was too cute an opportunity to pass up," I grin, feeling his eyes narrow even if I can't see it, and turning I lead the way out. Making sure lock everything up I open the back car so Dabi can stick Kaoru in on the seat, the little red head having fallen asleep already. Shutting the door he faces me, and averting my gaze thinking about it I figure it won't hurt... For now, I'm still thinking things over. "Do you want to come back with us? I'm going to make lunch once Kaoru wakes back up since it's still early."

        He takes a minute to answer, I guess thinking about it, before saying,"I've got nothing else going on so I guess." 

        Getting in the car we start the drive back home.

[X][X][X]

        The drive back is fine, and passing the market I go and park, telling Dabi,"I'll be back in 5 minutes, just want to grab a couple things for lunch alright?" He shrugs, and heading in I start my shopping.

        The last thing I expect is to run into Natsuo, who calls,"(FFFF/nnnn)!" I turn surprised to see the college student running up to me, my normal response being a big grin and hugging him, but with what's been going on for some reason I feel like a deer caught in the headlights. It's not like he's aware of who's out in my car, so why I froze up I don't know. Luckily he doesn't notice, a regular big smile planted on his face and a basket of groceries looped on his arm. "Funny seeing you here, I was wondering if you shopped here!"

        "Huh? Oh, yeah, it's really close to my apartment, remember? I'm just down the street," I tell him, pointing the direction where my street is located. "What are you doing here?"

                "Fuyumi beat me at a game of rock, paper, scissors so I was the one sent to get groceries for dinner tonight. He'll be gone tonight and she invited me and Shouto home again, with him out on hero work tonight I took the chance. She said the one by your place has the freshest stuff so I kind of picked this one by chance, guess it paid off," he chuckles, scratching the back of his head. 

        "Yeah, this place is definitely one of the best when it comes to fresh produce," I say, for some reason still feeling weird. I shouldn't, or maybe it's guilt? That I know something very important he doesn't? 

        The two of us decide to stick together shopping, and when done I go to part ways but he asks,"Is chibi with you?" I nearly lie, the risk of him finding out really big, but given Dabi is disguised I could play things off.

        "Yeah, he's in the car sleeping, we just did some training so he's tired," I explain, the two of us heading for my car; my stomach feels like it's in knots with every step. What if Natsuo finds out? He's not an idiot, what if he sees through the disguise and finds out there's a villain in my car? 'Just act natural, (F/n), stay calm.' I manage to keep myself in check as well as trying not to consider the worst case scenarios.

        "Oh, did Shouto help him? Fuyumi mentioned something like that," He asks, looking curious. 

        "N-No, a friend of mine did," I tell him. "He learned quite a lot, though, he's now able to control it better." When we reach the car I put the bags in the back with Kaoru before waking the boy up. "Kaoru, Natsu-oji wants to say hi."

        I blinks his eyes open before sitting up, yawning but perking at seeing his uncle, who looks just as excited, saying,"Hey chibi, you look beat! Your mom just told me you got some training, is that right?"

        The moment I get into the driver's seat I can see how tense Dabi is, even though his disguise hides his emotions; I mouth,'Sorry, I ran into him.' and glance back at the two as they chat, Kaoru telling him about the way he used his quirk. Before he can say anymore, just in case, I say,"Yeah, he did really well! My friend... Yu really helped him out." I think of a fake name for Dabi, and Natsuo glances in past me at the male sitting beside me.

        "Wow, really?" the snowy haired student asks, smiling. I hide how stiff I feel well, as does Dabi, but I freeze when I see Natsuo slightly narrow his eyes and the smile drop. I can't tell if it's because of the disguise and how sketchy it kind of looks, or the two more troubling options: He can tell it's the League of Villains' Dabi, or he's wondering if it's Touya. The latter is the least likely, but he seems to be studying the other man. 

        Thinking fast I say,"He, uh, he has incredibly sensitive skin, can't go in the sun without covering up, y'know?" I look at Dabi for some sort of response and he nods, lowering his head more to hide his face more so than before. 

        "Huh, really? Well that's not good," Natsuo replies, and while he seems to believe us I can't help thinking he's not fully bought over.

        "Yeah. Um, well we better get going, Natsuo, tell everyone I said 'hi' and we'll come visit soon," I say as I start up my car.

        "Bye, Natsu-oji! Don't forget about my manga you borrowed!" Kaoru says from the back, Natsuo grinning and replying,"I know, I know, I didn't forget don't worry! I'm only like halfway done though!" He turns back to me and 'Yu' and adds,"Have a good day, you two, I'll see you all later."

        I say goodbye with a smile while Dabi nods, giving a small wave as we start to leave. Pulling out of the parking lot and reaching a red light after some driving I glance at Dabi, and I can tell he's still stiff. It was probably one of the last things he wanted, getting nearly exposed to his brother, and we luckily dodged that bullet, but he still seems to not be paying much attention too lost in thought. I decide to do something to try to calm him down; moving my hand over I gently rest it on his bigger one and I give it a light squeeze. His hand jolts and he turns his head my way suddenly. 

        "I remembered doing this a lot back then, letting you hold my hand or hug me when something was bothering you, so after seeing Natsuo, if you need it you can hold my hand if it'll help you calm down," I explain, noting he was just sitting there, maybe trying to process it. Even before we got together, when we became really good friends I'd do this and hold him when he was stressed or just all in all having a bad time. But maybe now he may not be okay with that... I start to remove my hand, saying,"I-If you'd prefer not to then it's okay-" But I close my mouth when his hand suddenly latches onto mine and squeezes it, my eyes glancing at him surprised; the hold is strong and tight, it hurts a little but I don't try to stop it, instead continuing to drive and only pulling my hand away when needed.

(AN: I'm trying to slip in those Dabi x (F/n) moments subtly for now, they'll get more frequent as the fic goes on along with more father son bonding moments! ouo 

I hope you guys are enjoying this so far, part 6 should be up within a few days ( *’ω’* ) 

Let me know what you think? Thank you to everyone reading!)

------------------------------

Thank you for the request and I apologize for being late!

I will combine this storyline with my own storyline of where I'm going to use my own OC as the MC here.

Back in the future, other than being an idol, Rie is also a part time model (for fun of it). She have some of her model photo inside her phone as well as the candid photos that her friends took secretly. She knew about it but still keep it inside her phone gallery.

Alas, one day, she had used the quirky method of charging phone with an orange (Sasuke's idea of course). BING! It's charging! She is very excited about it and went out to find Sasuke (who is coincidentally nearby the castle).

Few minutes later, he came in her room to look for her, and she was not there. At first he decided to walk out to search for her, suddenly he jumped to the sound of "Ding!". "Isn't that.." He ever saw it before when he went to the future with her, but never ask on how to use it / or maybe he had one, but never pry on hers. He find it weird to the cable that were stabbed through the orange--but then curiosity hits him. Yeah he never look into her phone before..

Looks left.

Looks right.

He click the button and his attention immediately goes to "Gallery" folder. "Gallery.. does it mean by pictures?" Because he recall that MC ever said something like "Okay..! I saved it into the gallery..!" After taking a picture with him back in the future.

He opened and saw..

1. CHINA DRESS - NOBUNAGA AND HIDEYOSHI

-Isn't this.. a traditional clothes from border land?

-Wait. Why she wore it in the first place?? She never told him that she was from..

-Oh wait. She ever said that she ever work as this thing called 'model' for the fun of it but..

-She was good.

-His lips curved into a smile.

-But whatever that she wear she will always look beautiful.

-Cute too.

-Adorable. That twin tail. That lips. Phew. His face is hot somehow.

-He plans to ask the Ninja of Kasugayama to get this picture to display in his room. Or maybe his secret picture for him to look at by only him and him alone.

2. MAID DRESS - SHINGEN AND KENSHIN

-His eyes went wide. As big as plate.

-That lace, that color of black and white--pure but provocative. Her smile can be both dangerous and cute; it's up to his mind on how to take it.

-Hmm? There's a name here.

-It titled as "Her disguise for Valentino Mission."

-Disguise? So she wear like this to be a spy and serve the family.

-Wait.

-Serve??

-So this Valentino guy have seen her before him? To see her cuteness before he could-- and-- to pour him a drink??

-His hand is trembling and he glare at the phone.

-MC found him sitting at the corner of the room, mumbling "It should be me- it should be me- it should be me." While hugging her phone.

3. CASUAL YAKUZA - IEYASU AND YUKIMURA

-There was a video before the picture.

-The girl in the video--who he assumed to be her friend, or maybe coworker, beamed "Here we are at the new cafe in the office~ and who do we have here? Ohoho~! It's our infamous Goddess, Rie~~ hehew she's sipping the cof- wait- she doesn't drink one. What are you drinking, Rie-chan??"

-It ends with her laughing to the video with "Stop it..!"

-He smirked, smiling to himself. She is so cute.

-...Not to mention her ponytail. Her photogenic look and the casual wear that fits her body..

-Cute. Ah, so beautiful.

-He never seen her in this kind of casual wear before--she did wear it back in the future, but not for her working mode.

-This is like a random jacket she put on for her to rest after work.

-He look at her candid picture again.

-How lucky he is to have her as his lover.

-Damn it.

-He wants to kiss her all of a sudden.

4. MILITARY FASHION - MITSUNARI AND MITSUHIDE

-It's not a wear for modelling. Not for a disguise. But her official wear for her special assassin group. It's a candid photo of her, named as "Our Goddess's Official Dress."

-Somehow this kind of fashion suits her, especially with the curve that she have, it goes along with her pencil skirt.

-She is very attractive.. it made him smile to the look that she give out despite being candid.

-There's a blood lust in her eyes, and yet, the vibe that she gave him..

-Ah, he fell in love once more.

-"I love you." He find himself say it out loud.

-"Hm? I love you too OuO?"

-Mitsunari: Phone fly from his hands

-Mitsuhide: Froze404

5. ELEGANT WEAR - SASUKE AND MASAMUNE

-As for Sasuke, he had search for MC by himself at first to ask about the outcome of the quirky method of charging phone, only to find she's not there and excited to know that it's WORKING.

-Back to exploring her gallery in her phone..

-Oh- Oooh~ she's in her formal wear.

-He read the caption, "Another successful mission to disguise within enemy's territory."

-What kind of mission it is, he is curious. But hey, the most important thing here is.. her cheeky smile. Aaah so adorable..!

-He want to squeeze her cheeks every time she does that. or he want to kiss it all over or maybe want to bite on it..!

-So adorable. Ugh..!

-His kokoro couldn't take it..!

-She came in to call for him, but before she could say another word, he had pounced and attacked her cheeks.

POSTS THAT MAKE ME CRAZYINSANE FOREVER OHHHHH MY GOD- AAAAAAAAAA >w<

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE HAD TO STOP READING JUST TO FLAP MY HANDS BC IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. WE ARE COOKING!!!!!! WE'RE COOKING SO HARD RN :D AND DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR HOW LONG THIS IS I LOVE ITTTTTTTT

BESIDES MY RESPONSE IS SUPER LONG TOO- DO YOU LOVE THE COLOR OF THE THNEED KALSJFKLDSF

OHHH MY GOD YOU MAKE SUCH GOOD POINTS

YES that's the blueprint I was referring to!! And the way he labeled everything is sooo goofy I love ittt <3

As for food prep, thneed dough comes to mind? Like you could get it wet and knead it into a dough-like substance which makes it easier to work with in cooking and makes the texture smooth instead of fuzzy!!

I've always thought that anyone could use thneeds in cooking ouo. AND RESTAURANTS BUYING THNEEDS WHOLESALE AS INGREDIENTS IS SOOOO REAL

OMG AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY COOKBOOKS THAT ARE LIKE “100 WAYS TO COOK A THNEED”. ESPECIALLY WITH HOW IT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TASTE ON ITS OWN AND CAN ABSORB FLAVORS AND ACT AS A BASE IT SERVES AS LIKE A VERSATILE STAPLE FOOD

Oh thneed cotton candy is DEFINITELY a thing- Since unprocessed tufts are so wispy I imagine you could just add flavoring and spin it into cotton candy without needing to knit it into a thneed first, since knitting it is what gives it the structure to function in most foods!!

OOH a really interesting idea is how tufts at different stages respond to water!!! I love the idea of a truffula tree's tufts getting all soggy in the rain and it droops a little from the weight aksfjd

Meanwhile tufts spun into something cotton candy esque actually dissolve in liquid! Those drinks that have cotton candy at the top where you pour something on it to make it dissolve and mix in with the rest of the drink comes to mind :D

And then knitted thneeds are great at absorbing liquid and flavors and all that, though kneading it into dough does make them more malleable!! Like you couldn't just cut a thneed in half or else it'll fray, but you can split up the dough just fine!

Also that "it'll cure those backache pains in your chest" line from the 1972 version makes me think of thneed food being advertised as good for your heart health?

YEESSSS TRUFFULA FRUITS ARE EVERYTHING TO ME. I NEED TO MAKE TRUFFULA FRUIT BAKED GOODS SO BADDDDD. I can just smell the fruit filling bubbling in a pot and that rich red-purple color....... -u- Them being more expensive fruits that you don't wanna mess up is so real and true

OOH PEOPLE TRYING TO GROW THEIR OWN TREES WITH THE SEEDS. Maybe they grow faster like in the 2012 version and there were some little saplings around Thneedville at one point, but they don't last because of the poor air/water quality or being harvested before they can mature? That scene in the 1972 version where a tree outside Ye Annex Annex gets uprooted comes to mind!

Or maybe they take 20-30 years to mature like in the 1972 version, so eventually people just assume it isn't growing and give up- NOT TO MENTION HOW THE TREES NEED SPECIFIC CONDITIONS TO GROW IN AND BY SCREWING OVER THE LAND THEY CAN'T GROW ANYMORE GRAAAAAAAAHHH

Truffula tree voice ugh the pH of the soil is too high, I believe I may die......... Grickle grass voice FUCK YEAH CONCRETE

THE TRANSITION TO BUTTERFLY MILK EXTRACT AND SUBSTITUTES AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE TINY DIFFERENCES LOL

Admittedly I don't know squat about perfumes but I can already see those dramatic butterfly milk perfume commercials, and people going on about all the intricacies of the scent- SCENTED CANDLES OHHH MY GOD. I think some fancy candles have stuff sprinkled on top so what if there are little truffula tufts :o

THNEEDBLRRRR- Loving the idea that someone else originally made the site but the Onceler bought and rebranded it later on. Or maybe he was the original creator, who knows! I need to see what kinda posts people would make on there- Mayhaps in another universe, the Onceler blogs about us........

DEEP FRIED THNEED. THNEED DONUTS. COAT A THNEED IN BREADING AND MAKE IT LIKE FRIED CHICKEN

OOH AND THE THING THAT ORIGINALLY GAVE ME THE IDEA OF TRUFFULA FRUIT SYRUP AND JAM IS THESE OLD CHARACTER BIOS. It states that the Lorax's favorite food is truffula berry pancakes, which makes me think of pancakes with truffula fruit syrup being served with truffula fruit slices and berries on the side ouo!!

ALSO while I was searching for the bios I found this, which is interesting bc it doesn't show truffula fruits as the pear shape we see in the movie!

(Also at one point that old promotional website with the bios referred to the Onceler as Alex, presumably as some kind of typo or autocorrect?? And I've heard that there was an old interview that said the Onceler's last name is Baxley, but I haven't found any leads or evidence of that so I doubt it's legitimacy.)

WAIT IIBORONII DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE CONFNEECTION BUILDING IN THE ONCELER'S BLUEPRINTS BECAUSE I'M SO ILL ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE CONFNEECTION BUILDING-

ALSO just the fact that thneeds are canonically both edible and smokeable according to the 1972 Everybody Needs a Thneed song is amazing to me aksjfsdlkf

NO EXPLAIN THIS RIGHT NOW PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE CONFNEECTION BUILDING LORE IS,,, ALSO HELP THAT LIVES SOOO RENT FREE IN MY HEAD. Like I literally hear "try it in soup, it adds great zest!" in my head sometimes and I'm like "the thneed WHAT?????" And the imagery of someone smoking a thneed?? Priceless. Aaaaaah I love oncelerposting it's my favorite summer activity

@angsty-otters-blog omg your comment makes my day O///O

@connorshero this is dedicated to this amazing writer because she's one of my favorite fanfic writers and she deserves the best ouo ][ Also I will be regarding to Connor as he/him because it's quite efficient and calling him "it" throughout the whole story until he deviates is just ... i dunno ]

"What do you have to say about my new appearance, lieutenant?"

Hank heaved out an exasperated and exaggerated sigh, murmured an incoherent complain under his breath and gradually whipped his head around to see whatever the reason Connor was trying to gain his attention only to produce a loud disturbed yelp upon sighting Connor sporting a white oversized shirt imprinted with a tacky logo of some form of anarchy, unbuckled and ripped pants dangerously dipping down from his pelvis, blinding blings encrusted with fake diamonds and of course, the black and white bandana enveloped around his lower face. Hank took a step back away from the prototype, examining him from head to toe. "Jesus, what the fuck are you wearing?" Hank questioned in disdain, disturbed by what he was seeing. No amount of bleach and brainwashing session can erase this nightmare he was seeing. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Connor was quick to sense this negativity coming from Hank and in order to enlighten him and make an understanding, he answered in an explanation, pulling down his bandana that covered his nose and mouth. "I have thoroughly researched about the participants in these Underground Android Clashes. I learned that most people in there are with multiple criminal records and are considered to be intimidating. The best way to blend in with them and avoid increase of suspicion is to look as intimidating as they are. Hence, after downloading data about intimidation tactics from several trusted websites, I concluded wearing a gangster attire would do it."

"Do you even know what the hell a gangster is?"

"Of course I do. Gangster, a member of an organized group of violent criminals. Gangsters are also a common and popular - though not to an extent as bad boys - trope for authors to use in writing a story." Connor replied. "Do not worry. This will only be a temporary disguise until our investigation in the Clash is over. I don't have any intention to keep this up after. Unless you would rather me in this outfit."

Hank vigorously shook his head in denial. "Hell no! No fucking way am I going in there with you looking like disaster on foot."

Connor tilted his head mildly, pupils dilating out of curiosity. "Then what do you suggest I do? Arriving simply in my uniform will give away our identities in an immediate."

"Just . . . Just wear that shit you always wear but just remove the blazer. Maybe tussle your a little bit and lessen being such a pain in the ass? I don't know. Don't ask anymore stupid questions."

Connor's brows knitted together as he slowly put the puzzle pieces together and formed a correct inquiry. "Are my new clothes making you uncomfortable, liuetenant?"

Hank averted his eyes from Connor's burning stare. If android eyes were upgraded with laser beams, Hank would certainly drop dead with a pair of scorching holes on the back of his head. "They're making my eyes cry blood now get a move on before I change my mind about this case."

Connor is completely aware of Hank's growing disturbance to the sight his newly acquired clothing. Desiring to get in Hank's good side for better communication and work related partnership, he should be doing as told without question and tinge of reluctance but seeing as he was required by CyberLife to attain good and harmonious relation with him, he finds that forming this odd human concept called friendship was a good approach to his side objective. But befriending this spitfire of a man was a lot difficult and was taking unnecessarily longer than what his software is frequently used to. How could he get Hank Anderson - who has a strong and unfaltering hatred for androids - on his good side and havethe mission accomplished in an even more efficient manner? Connor paused for a brief moment to study everything, disregarding the confusion settling itself on Hank's facial expression as he browsed through the internet - how to be friends with a grumpy old man who works for the police force and hates you with all his might? (being specific is mandatory for he needed specific solution). In one website, it says that initiating bantering is a good start to make friends. If said answer is correct, then Hank wouldn't mind.

Connor flashed him what he hoped Hank would consider friendly and inviting, the corners of his lips curving upwards almost painfully. He wore only a light and nearly nonexistent smile but not being used to smiling, his lips cannot accomodate well and he struggled maintaining it. "But lieutenant, I don't see any blood coming out of your eyes."

His pitiful attempt and idea of joking was a little off - most probably completely - and this was his first attempt to do so that it almost made Hank to consider faking his fit of laughter just so Connor wouldn't feel bad.

Who was Hank kidding? Why would Connor feel anything at all? He was an android and it was a known fact that androids don't feel emotions. How pitiful.

"I'm in a neutral mood right now. Don't fuck this up for me." Informed Hank, his stern gaze directed to Connor.

Connor was not at all astonished by Hank's displeasing response to his banter. From the very beginning as he was conjuring up his plan, the probability of his success was lower than five percent but he thought it wouldn't hurt (not like anything will) to try. With an obedient nod, Connor quipped, "I'll go get changed."

***

After briefly dropping by Cherry Downtown Bar (courtesy of Hank stubbornly refusing to make any sort of progress in their investigation without consuming an alarming amount of liquor to keep him up and going), prototype RK800 Connor and lieutenant Hank Anderson presently stood right before an abandoned candy factory where broken window, neglected equipments and several layers of dust collected in the years were the only things visible in any entities' vision. Aforementioned factory was formerly used to make sweets such as lollipops, gumballs and bubblegums but upon being rat out by one of its own concerned and guilt ridden employee that they have been secretly slipping in red ice in certain candies for notorious drug dealing syndicates from all over the world, they were immediately shut down and the manufacturers, along with their partners in business, were put on custody and were to remain behind bars for thirty years.

Connor cautiously surveys the area with his enhances pupils and his brows connected with one another, perfectly mirroring an arch. "Lieutenant," Connor calls out as Hank advance forward to the metal door undoubtedly leading to the location of the arena. "I have a bad . . ." At this, Connor trailed off in uncertainty as he ponders over a better substitute rather than typically using the term feeling. ". . . suspicion about this Clash.

Hank scoffed at his spoken words, eyes flickering away from the door and to the android detective. "Are you chickening out now?" He bellows. "I postponed my drinking for this shit."

Connor shakes his head in a vigorous manner, the stray lock of hair over his forehead bobbing along with his motion. "No, I am not chickening out, as you say. I am merely expressing my concern for this case we're investigating."

Hank nodded absently as he lifted his right fist up in the air and rapped his knucles on the metal door a few times. Connor stood awkwardly behind him like an obedient android rookie some deemed as, spine perfectly straight and hands behind his back, his coin effortlessly and smoothly rolling on his fingers. It didn't take long before a perfectly proportioned male - roughly around the age of late twenties - slide the door to the side in the slightest bit, only revealing to them half of his eccentric tattoed face and partly shaved head on the left.

[ Name - Lucas Gray

Age - 27

Criminal Record/s - Drug abuse ]

Lucas snarled at the sight of the old man and his android, irritation etching on his face. "Move your ass, you have no business here."

Lucas Gray motioned to shut the door right before them but Hank - regardless of his old age - reacted swiftly. Just as their only passage inside was to close, Hank wedged his foot within the gap, efficiently disabling Lucas to do as he earlier pleased. Said male glowered at Hank, the annoyance glossing over his eyes intensifying. "Damn right I have some business here." And with that, Hank pointed behind him - right at Connor whose look could only be described as perplexed - with the use of his thumb. "I have some fresh blue blood here."

Lucas momentarily paused his movements to examine the both of them and from his calculations and the way the man was knitting his eyebrows together, Connor knew he was to let them in sooner or later. Not that Lucas trusted them - no, no - but because of what Hank had stated earlier. From the acquired information about these Clashes two years ago, mentioning blue blood to the bouncer is basically the password to enter the abandoned factory and to the Clashes. One would think the people behind the construction of Underground Android Clashes would be brilliant enough to alter the password every now and then to secure their secret, but then again, who had time to change passwords when all people really want was to watch androids tear their own species?

Producing a disgruntled grunt, Lucas retreated a few steps back in order to pull the door wider to give them a way to enter. Heeding no instruction, Connor automatically followed Hank's footsteps, politely acknowledging the bouncer with a firm nod to which the latter rolled his eyes at in response. "Good fucking luck with the Clash," He murmured gruffly as they passed by his towering figure before shutting and locking the door behind them. "You're gonna need it."

Connor halted in his footsteps as his programming instantly took the precious liberty to correct Lucas. He surfed through multiple websites for the scientific and realistic meaning of the term luck but found no such luck (Connor's LED turned yellow for a split second at the realization he somehow managed to conjure up a pun, as humans call it). Whirling around, Connor speaks, "There is no such thing as luck. It is nonexistent. Life is merely a series of probability."

Connor's lips desired to provide more information about the concept of luck but was rendered silent upon noticing Lucas glare over at his direction, hands curling and lips contorting to an ugly scowl. Before an argument could arise and possibly jeapordize the whole investigation, Hank grabbed Connor by the back of his collar and carelessly dragged him away from Lucas, distantly telling the man, "Sorry about this one! I think it's mentally challenged as an android!"

Connor instantly perked up at this. Once Lucas' interest on them diverted, Connor questions, "I haven't heard of a mentally challenged android before. Is there such thing now? Did CyberLife create a new kind of android? I am unaware of this."

Hank looked back at him, releasing the fabric from his hold. "There is one now."

Perplexed from the unfolded information, Connor leaned forward. "Really? Where is it? Is the public already aware of this new android?" He asked with an innocence of a child, painfully oblivious to the underlying message Hank was trying to relay to him.

Hank gawked at him with incredulousness glimmering in his eyes before shaking his hear in disbelief, sighing defeatedly. "Nothing, nothing, just forget about it. That's not what we're here for anyways."

Connor's software erased all remaining interest on the false information of a newly created android and highlighted his main objective - the exact reason why they even found themselves inside a malodorous and unsanitary factory. His fingers subconciously surfaced to fasten his tie but stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he recalled he had left his suit jacket and tie in the police car at Hank's request - more like demand. He involuntarily twitched at the sudden change.

Hank narrowed his eyes suspiciously upon having caught on Connor's involuntary movement. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Nothing to be of your concern, lieutenant." Connor responded to his quiry as smoothly as he can as he generated his software to momentarily adapt to the lack of suit jacket and tie. Thankfully, his coin was not confiscated inside the police car. "Come on, we must continue with the case. Every second counts."

They ventured further into the corridor where horrendously ugly (save for some who actually had some sense of artistry in them), gruesome, sentimental, gothic and lewd graffiti drawn all over the walls, overlapping one another. There were damp cartons filled to the brim with tissue papers, half empty bottles of liquor scattered all over the place with a few shredded advertisments for the Eden Club and purchase of red ice. The place held pungent stench that could make humans wrench in disgust. Connor was mildly impressed Hank maintained a neutral calmness inside a chaotic place like this. He had formerly thought he'd unpleasingly react to the state of the factory.

"What a fucking mess. What did I expect from these people, honestly? My place looks like paradise compared to this. At least I use air freshener." Hank commented as he cast his gaze around, clumsily stumbling a few times as he comes across a few empty bottles. "Hell I can't wait to get out of here."

Nevermind. Connor thought.

Reaching the end of the corridor where a dim light resonated and obnoxious cheering from the people came, they were met by a drunkenly staggering man holding onto the walls for balance, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth and red bloodshot eyes which only Connor could guess was caused by guzzling red ice. "Outta my way, pricks." He slurred in a pathetic attempt of trying to sound menacing as Connor and Hank parted to make way for him.

The man struggled along the way as he tried to approach the exit, occasionally crashing on the obstacles along the way. Connor could only watch him in interest. "Do you think he'll return to his residency safely?" Asks Connor and turns to regard Hank. "His car keys are dangling from his belt; he obviously owns a car and it is also quite obvious he is in no condition to drive."

Dismissively, Hank waved his hand. "Bah, just forget about him. A little incident won't hurt anyone. It'll teach him a valuable lesson when he can't learn the easy way."

"But wouldn't he sustain grave injuries if this little turns out to be huge? Or the worse outcome yet - death."

"Depends on how stupid that man is. Let's just hope he's too drunk to even get to his car and pass out on the way." Hank spared a glance at the intoxicated man and jeered as he saw him plummet to the carton of tissues, a curse leaving his lips. "Look at him, I bet he can't even tell the difference between water and tissue papers."

What greeted them as they both entered the main area of the factory was expected. The corridor gave them enough hints. Hollering humans cheering for their android of choice with either betting cash or alcohol in their hands, trashes of all sorts spreading out like an ocean, grease and other stains of unidentified liquid tainting the whole place - this site was one step behind from being a junkyard. From below the upper bleachers, the arena stood proudly.

[ SOFTWARE INSTABLITY ^^^ ]

[ SOFTWARE INSTABLITY ^^^ ]

[ SOFTWARE INSTABLITY ^^^ ]

He took one insignificant step within the premises of the main area when his software instability began drastically increasing with no particular source. With burrowed eyebrows, Connor intently studied these anomalous pop ups perched precariously on his peripheral vision like an annoying insect latching in spoiled food to feast upon. His LED colored itself yellow and red, flickering from time to time as he ran an analysis on his software but alas, no peculiarity was discovered.

He was in perfectly good condition - too perfect in actuality - so there was no reasonable explanation as to why these warning were appearing out of the blue. Not only that but the accelerating thrumming of his thirium pump vibrated against his chest - something he had never encountered before in his existence.

Hank strode a few good meters away from Connor and rested his right arm on the cold metal railing, his upper body leaning forward to get a closer inspection on the arena. As to not inject anymore irritation directed to him, Connor instantly went after him and stood next to him, securely evading all obstacles along the way. Hank snorted, eyes trained on the arena and the six androids circling around it right in front of metals doors, generously far from each other. "Seems like we got here right on time. The Clash will probably start in five minutes or so." He informed and a grimace formed on his face. "What the fuck is that man doing to that android?"

Connor cast his gaze downwards, to where Hank was directing his line of sight and located an aggresive man leering down on his fear stricken android as though it was dirt on the sole of his shoe.

It didn't take Connor a second to deduce the android was not normal as it seems. "It's deviant," Pointed out Connor, his left hand over the railing.

Hank sent him a glimpse. "What?"

Using his index finger, Connor aimed his finger at the android. "The android there is a deviant. As you already know, android don't feel emotions. But deviants do. And that android there is clearly showing signs of intense fear."

Hank nodded and returned his sight on the newly appointed deviant in Connor's perspective. Connor could hear Hank saying something, commenting something unfavorable about how the man was treating the android (why would he be concerned for an artificial human?) but it was an undurable pull that caused him to neglect Hank. His steadfast posture wavered in the slightest as his form was forced to move by this mysterious pull of nature and he soon found himself facing a particular direction a little further away from the human and his android turned deviant.

It was an android - how common. [ Hair Color ] [ Hair Length ], [ Eye Color ], and did he mention it was an android? Now upon observation, nothing about it was out of the ordinary nor was there anything special about it. If ever asked why it somewhat stood out amongst the other androids participating in the Clash, Connor will simply reply it was because of its unfaltering and intimidating stance, a total contrast to the other androids who merely stood motionless with a blank visage. Probably in normal circumstances, he wouldn't have spared a single glance at its direction. Hell, he wouldn't even learn of its existence until the Clash begins. The only reason he set his eyes in it was because it seems to be the sole source of his increasing instability in his software, LED shinning red, and thirium pump palpitating.

There must be a malfunction I cannot detect. Or this android did something to me.

A quiet gasp tumbled from his lips. How can there be no information about this androi - "Connor?"

Connor's body twitched. He wanted to respond to Hank's voice, to heed his superior, to obediently follow with no speck of defiance the orders programmed in his software by CyberLife but as the saying goes, expect the unexpected - for the first time in his existence, Connor refused to listen to his instructions.

Connor's LED turned yellow in frustration. He lost count of how many times he scanned the said android and every time he got the same result. Who is that android?

And what makes it so special, so excluded from the others, that it caused him to disobey CyberLife?

His question was answered when he came into gradual realization that the android was staring at him, its pair of [ Eye Color ] eyes fixated on him like it was studying him, admiring him. Connor's jaw dropped - It wasn't the most beautiful android in Detroit, its features were plain and common among humans, but why was he so stunned, so fascinated by this android?

Stop. Just stop. Please just stop this nonsense.

[ SYSTEM ERROR ^^^ ]

[ SYSTEM ERROR ^^^ ]

Regardless of your extremely futile attempts to at least postpone the pop ups of your system errors - you hated the thought that they might be the reason to your defeat, if ever - it continously reappeared at the side of your vision. Your LED whirred and turned red in alarm.

Six minutes had already passed by after breaking the accidental eye contact you initiated yet you can still recognize the smoldering gaze of the peculiar android suited at the upper bleachers of the factory on your figure, intently studying whatever little motion your body spared. Uncomfortable was an understatement if you were to describe the situation you found yourself in. It wasn't helping that your body was turning against you with your thirium pump distastely thudding against your chest, LED flickering from red and yellow (make up your damn mind) and most especially the system errors practically taking up all the space of your peripheral vision.

"Hello there, our dear Clashers! How are you all today?" You were roused back from your deep reverie and to reality once the booming voice of the emcee blasted from the speakers as she spoke through her held microphone. The emcee wore an overly sweet smile that could shame the former purpose of the abandoned factoryand matching its disgusying smile was an overly sweet, unnecessary and try hard set of makeup caking her face. If you were a lesser android, you would have reprimanded her for trying to mimic a coloring book. With an overflowing amount of confidence practially oozing from her, she sported a skimpy pink and green floral dress that left nothing else for the wild imagination of the men residing in the bleachers and flawlessly rocked a pair of six inched black pumps and dangling fake diamond earrings. Her dyed raven hair was combed in an elegant updo and her eyes glistened with mischief and delight as the crowd roared in thrill at the sight of her. She posed seductively in the middle of the area, legs apart and a slender hand on her hip. "Another evening, another Clash and you know what that means? Another set of useless and weak androids are nearing their tombs! Or rather, in their case, the andriod junkyard heaven!"

Her poor joke garnered her an outstanding fits of laughter generously given by her admirers in the abandoned factory that she had tom call them out several times before they were silenced. You cannot help but have puzzlement arise inside your system. The joke wasn't that humorous and you have mosh certainy heard betters ones yet somehow, the majority of the humans within the factory laughed at the emcee's quip. How come is that? "Okay, okay, enough of that," The emcee bellows and lets out a childish and feminine giggle. "Now, how about we greet our androids for the night?"

On cue to her rhetorical question, the metal doors opened right before your eyes and without a second of hesitation, you advanced within the interior of the arena. The exact moment your stepped foot in the arena, you disregarded all external and internal distraction but the the unsettling stare of the android from the bleachers remained, though more bearable as you successfully focused yourself on your current objective - to eliminate all threat to your victory. The other androids mirrored your movements with the same lacking amount of hesitation, excluding the android turned deviant which cowered as it remained outside, refusing to enter the arena in fear of its death.

"Get in there!" Edwin Williams demanded to his android, teeth gritting and hot air exhaled throigh his nostrils.

The terrified deviant shook its head, its feet taking steps back. "I-I don't wanna die in there,"

"Oh for fuck sake," The owner ascended the small staircase leading to the arena and shoved his android inside, not giving a second thoigh about its emotional condition. The deviant tumbled down on the cold cement but instantenously got back up on its feet to escape but the moment he stood, the metal doors had already shut, locking it in its death bed. It begged for its freedom and rapped its knuckles on the wired walls to get anyone's attention but all it got were insults, humiliation and shame.

"And now," Begins the emcee as she pauses for tension, "Let us acknowledge the reigning champion of the Android Clashes for two straight years - give it up for Anonymous!" A wave of cheers mixed in with the boos greeted your owner, Ruth Judge, as he raised his fist in greeting to the people.

"And how can we forget his undefeated legendary of an android!m? Our very own combat android of the century!" The emcee gesticulates to you and as expected, you received the same reaction from the crowd.

"Don't let that shit of an android beat you!" Edwin violently slammed his hands againt the wired walls of the arena, teeth snapping. "Kill it!"

Slowly, the quivering, fear controlled deviant turned to your direction, eyes pleading and cheeks tinged blue. "Please," It whimpered pathetically. "Don't hurt me."

You gaped at it. Never had any android pleaded for its life, they mostly took their defeat without a word so as the deviant stared at you with teary eyes, pleaded for your mercy, you found no backup step by step instructions on what to do in this kind of situation so you settled by averting your gaze from it. The dilation of your pupils was far from evident but still it was there, mocking you for carelessly letting the android's plea get muddle with your system - [ SYSTEM ERROR ^^^ ]

"Now," The emcee twirls around with her hands in the air and strikes an idol like posing. "Let this android Clash begin!"

Ugh P.9 [Peter Parker] [Soulmate AU]

Pairing: Peter Parker x Female!Reader

Warnings: Cursing, more angst, mentions of pain etc

Part 8, Masterlist

When he saw you walk into that café, he was sure you were safe. It was a little local joint. People went in and out constantly with no issue. It was in one of the safer parts of Queens as well. Still- something had told him to stay. Something deep down inside had screamed at him to just keep watch. It would’ve been such a simple thing to do- but he didn’t do it. He turned his back and went elsewhere, knowing you’d be in there for a few hours or so. You were probably going to just do some homework or enjoy the quiet environment with some warm coffee.

As much as he’d love to just perch atop the roof across the street and watch you peacefully, he knew he couldn’t- shouldn’t.

So he left.

He had absolutely no way of knowing what was about to happen. Especially since as he turned away, he missed the suspicious hooded figure headed down the street. His senses didn’t go off because the figure hadn’t been sure of their intentions just yet. By the time they were, Peter was already elsewhere, stopping some petty mugger. For a brief moment, his thoughts were clear. They were blissful and painless- and then his Spider-Sense was practically screaming at him. Every hair on his body stood on end and his mind was set in pure panic mode. It was the biggest reaction he’d ever gotten from his heightened senses and for a few moments, he wasn’t sure why. He took in his surroundings, confused as to why he couldn’t see or hear any danger nearby.

Then he felt it.

A hard hit to his side- pain that didn’t belong to him. Pain that belonged to you.

He cursed under his breath as he started running, shooting a web and swinging off as fast as he could. He knew you were still there, he could feel it- but god, he was scared to ask himself if you would be there any longer.

You still lay on your stomach, trying not to tremble as you felt the cold barrel of a gun press to the back of your skull. If it was possible, you were even more terrified. You couldn’t see your attacker or how close he was to pulling the trigger. You could only see the petrified faces of the strangers before you. Their expressions told you that you were far from safe. Was this really how you had to go? On your belly, face down and shaken to your very core?

The gun pressed even closer and you had to fight back tears. Why couldn’t this guy just take the money and leave? He had everyone’s full cooperation- so why did he feel the need to do this to you? To make an example of you?

“P-Please- sir. I’ll give you everything we have- you don’t-”, the elderly woman in the store tried to plead with him, but he wasn’t having it.

“Shut up, you old bat! Just shut up! I’m thinkin’ about it!”

Thinking about what? What could he possibly gain from killing you? You were a stranger to him- a nobody! Why in the world did he have the desire to do this?

“Please-”

“If you talk one more time, I’m going to shoot her and you-”

“How about you don’t shoot anyone, and I let you leave with your dignity?”

That voice- you knew that voice. Oh- your heart practically sang with relief. He was here, he was going to save you- and maybe you’d finally be able to tell him what you so desperately needed to. It was so sad to know that it took all this but-

The gun moved from your head as the mans attention went to the hero that had just arrived. Shakily, you took the chance to try to move, crawling ever so slowly. If he was distracted long enough, you could get away and Peter could take him down before anyone could be hurt. Your side still ached a bit- but your flight response didn’t allow you to feel much of it. You needed to escape- now.

“Aw. It’s Queens little bug, here to save the day. Get outta here, man, or I kill- hey! You get back here, now! Turn around! Let this idiot see your face- let him see who’s gotten killed.”, the mans voice was loud and booming, freezing you in place. What was with him? Why was he so desperate to kill someone in this little old coffee shop?

“Turn!”, he shouted. When you still stayed frozen in place, he cocked the gun back, putting a bullet in it’s chamber, “Turn. Now.”

“Leave her alone-”

“Shut up.”

Trembling, you turned. You probably looked pathetic in this moment, and you hated it. You were on your knees, eyes watery with tears you refused to allow to slip out. You were absolutely terrified and it showed. You hated that- hated him. How dare he do this to you- to anyone! You were all innocent- he aimed the gun at you again, making you swallow hard.

“Put the gun down.”, Peter’s voice was calm- but you knew he was panicking. How could he not be? His soulmate was on her knees, shaking in fear of her life with a gun inches from her face. This gun was loaded, and if he wasn’t extremely careful with how he approached this, you could be fatally shot. His heart was absolutely pounding- so much so Karen’s voice rang through his ears, telling him to remain calm and that the cops were on their way.

He’d fought Captain America. He’d taken down some insane Vulture guy- survived a plane crash- he’d done so much insane shit. He was stronger than normal people- could stop a bus with his bare hands but by god- you were absolutely his one weakness. This right here- this moment, this image- it was killing him. It was stealing his sense of mind- it slowed his thinking because all he could feel was pure panic.

If he’d stayed like his gut told him to- if he for once listened to his own fucking instincts- maybe this wouldn’t be happening- but it was. It was and god he was losing it. You looked so scared, he could see it in your eyes.

He was scared too-

“Now, either you leave, or I shoot her right now.”

“You know I can’t leave-”

“Last chance, bug-guy.”

You could see Peter debating on leaving. Your life was at stake and you could see that he was willing to do anything to make sure you were safe. You couldn’t let him leave though. If he did, this place would get robbed, and someone else might get shot. This man was crazy- and you couldn’t let him win. It wasn’t right- it wasn’t fair. The fear that coursed through you turned to anger- if he was so willing to shoot, why hasn’t he done it? Why was he torturing you and all these people with this? Why why why?

Baring your teeth in anger, you moved, quickly reaching for the gun- but he was faster. Within a split second a gunshot rang out, followed by screaming- though you couldn’t tell who’s scream was louder, Peter’s or everyone else..

The scream he’d let out had to be absolutely heartbreaking. It was loud- it was painful and full of anger.

His heart stopped- he was sure of it. He didn’t expect you to do what you just had. He didn’t take you for the kind of person to just throw caution to the wind like that- oh god.

You weren’t moving. He couldn’t see you moving- you’d fallen face first onto the ground, blood pooling out from your head. 

“No.. no no no- no please…”, he was murmuring to himself, eyes stinging with fresh tears. God please- not you- not again. How could this happen to him again- to you- how could he be too late?  How could the world allow him to lose someone else? 

How could this piece of shit not feel any remorse for what he’d just done?

Instantly, Peter flung himself at the masked attacker, throwing one solid punch his way- and another- maybe one-

“Peter. Remember your strength. The man is unconscious, you could kill him. You need to check on her.”, again, Karen’s voice brought him back. As much as he wanted to- he couldn’t beat this man to the brink of death. It was wrong- it wasn’t what these powers were for.

You.

He had to see you- had to turn you over, but he didn’t want to. If he did, he’d see something he wasn’t ready for wouldn’t he? If he just didn’t turn you over, he could still hold on to hope that maybe the bullet just grazed you. He could let himself believe he hadn’t failed a second time- that he hadn’t lost you for the same reason he lost Ben. He couldn’t handle being too late again- he couldn’t handle losing you. It wasn’t fair- he’d already paid the price for this life. He already had to watch Ben die- had to watch May go through that pain and suffering.

He couldn’t lose you before he even got the chance to have you. He liked to believe that one day you would’ve came around- maybe.

His hands were trembling as they reached for you, sobs threatening to consume his entire body. Please- please for the love of everything-

Don’t do this..

[queen-of-hearts92]

Any more thoughts about "Beautiful Thorns"? I personally liked that Shiori wasn't demonized this time.

I’m gonna do a full thing with more thoughts later but I’ll put down what I got on my mind for now. ouo

I, personally, did like Beautiful Thorns but I do get why there are people who don’t like it. The story of Juri, Shiori, and Ruka has been simplified greatly, so if you like it or not depends on if you are ok with/like how the story turned out after simplification. 

However I don’t think the story being simplified means theres nothing to look at here, and that we should blow it off as “Saito not understanding Utena again oh hoho”. We shouldn’t do that. Let’s not do that.

So imma talk about Beautiful Thorns aka “Juri you useless lesbian, pls stop hallucinating dead people” and see the different take at the relations between these three characters as well as looking at what we got from this story as a whole. /owo/

(Quick note: I discussed this manga with my friend Fuji so I’ll be mentioning her when repeating what we discussed. \owo/)

Let’s start with Juri and Shiori and how it goes in this version. 

Juri falls for Shiori while they’re in middle/high school instead of them being childhood friends. Shiori, in this universe, is the well off pretty girl. Juri is the one who refers to herself as “unlovable” and “ugly” this time. Juri wants this cute girl to notice her but isn’t sure how to go about it until she overhears Shiori saying she thinks fencers are cool like princes. Juri, being the baby gay that she is, goes “GUESS WHO’S GONNA LEARN FENCING, IT IS I” and she learns the fuck outta fencing cause Juri is go big or go home and if fencing is the best way to impress Shiori then you bet your ass she’ll do it! She learns the fuck out of fencing so much she becomes the school’s fencing champion and Shiori does indeed notice her. However, shock and sadness, she’s engaged to another. 

That would be Ruka, who I think is also part of the fencing team. So here while Ruka is her senpai, he is also “that motherfucker engaged to Shiori” this time around. Kinda different there lol. Her feelings towards Ruka are jealously and also feeling like he is a standard she can never live up to. I’m gonna touch on this more later down the line cause this falls with the prince thing. So, lets keep going. ouo 

Juri is like “aw fuck me” and we get to see the inside of the iconic locket we all know and love and she becomes a sad gay (now in this universe Shiori facing away from the camera in the picture doesn’t. make. much. sense. but idk guess Saito just wanted it to look like the one in the anime). One day, she drops the dang thing and Ruka finds it and is like “lol if u want it back come and catch me” Juri tries to catch up to him but she forgets that Ruka has long ass legs so he gets away. 

Now Ruka during all this has fallen in love with Juri, however he realizes that Juri loves Shiori. Unlike anime! Ruka, this Ruka takes this rather well. But he is concerned by Juri’s drive to be a prince cause we all know that being a prince in RGU is a terrible idea overall. I’m gonna talk about Shiori in a moment but first imma quickly cover the part that’s taken from the movie aka the big old life changing moment for all the people involved here. 

So Juri is all bummed out cause Ruka took her locket and she’s being sad by a river on a stormy day (cause that’s the BEST time to hang out by the river, when theres a fuckin storm). Then she sees Shiori, who uh, either get pulled into the water by a wave or she fell in I honestly can’t tell but either way Shiori falls into the damn river. Juri is like “iTS PRINCE TIME” and dives in and saves Shiori’s life. But Juri can’t pull herself out due to the current and gets pulled under herself. Ruka comes the fuck in and is like “NOPE LETS NOT” pulling her out to safety and he is pulled under and dies instead. 

Now, as mentioned in a convo I had with Fuji, Juri has been outprinced by Ruka. She wanted to be one to impress Shiori with her princelyness but now Ruka has permanently upstaged her in her mind by giving up his life to save another. And this, was on purpose by Ruka. Which I’ll talk about more later. After this happens it seems like Juri follows a path like movie! Juri did. She feels like she still has to compete for Shiori’s heart, and has to keep playing the prince no matter what. 

This idea of always being a prince has slowly been messing her up over the years to a point she’s literally seeing things (magic castle bullshit aside), ignoring Shiori, behaving aggressively overprotective towards Shiori (more on that later), and struggling to win fencing matches. This mindset of “being a prince” doesn’t work so great for an adult who hasn’t coped with their guilt/trauma yet. Juri, much like anime Utena, has thrown a lot of her self identity into being a prince and now its harming her quite intensely. I’ll get to the resolution of this a little later but that’s the position we see 36 year old Juri in when the story starts.

Note: I say 36 by adding 20 years to her age she was in the original series in which was 16. Yup.

Now Imma talk about Shiori here.

This Shiori is quite different from previous ones, especially for both of her relationships here. There are more parallels to her movie counterpart to be made due to the nature of the story which is very interesting. 

So, for the relationship she has with Juri. It doesn’t seems like Shiori blames Juri for what happened at the river, unlike in the movie where she did and mcfreakin lost it. Even if it wasn’t the smartest thing for Juri to do, Juri did still save her life at the end of the day. That didn’t occur in the movie but I can’t comment too much about the movie’s situation cause theres a lot of ??? in that particular aspect but thats a totally different discussion so moving on. I think there is a part of Shiori that feels guilty about what happened, like Juri nearly died saving her which lead to Ruka’s death. She implies she use to dream about Ruka and ghost! Ruka visiting her tells me that she’s probably also had trouble coping with the tragedy though she’s handling it a lot better then Juri has been.

However what Shiori decides to do is she chose to support Juri, becoming her fencing manager/agent from what seems like high school and well into their adulthood (which I do indeed love oh man). Juri even says that Shiori has been supporting her for quite sometime and is grateful for her support! It seems like Shiori refers to Juri as “my prince” at times cause she figured out doing so made Juri happy, which makes me think she did in fact figure out Juri’s big gay crush on her and might feel the same way but she hasn’t felt like she can tell Juri that yet due to Juri’s um. Problems. And probably her own lingering guilt for Ruka who was engaged to her in the past.

Side note: I think Shiori refers to Juri with the -san suffix here because of her position as her manager/agent. That’s just my guess anyway!

As for Juri’s problems, their relationship has started to hit a big roadblock at the time of the narrative because of said problems reaching their boiling point. It sounds like Juri has become more erratic recently but she’s had certain concerning behaviors before she started really acting oddly. 

Judging from what we’ve seen, when guys (or maybe even anyone) that remind her of Ruka get too close to Shiori, Juri suddenly grabs her, pulls her away, and is very overprotective of Shiori around these said guys. We know this isn’t a new thing for Juri to do because right after that happens Shiori says “When you act like that, I just get so…Forget it.” and Shiori even considers becoming a manager/agent for someone else because she’s getting real tired of shit like that. We can even see a bit of Juri’s possessiveness during her duel with ghost! Ruka when she says “I won’t let you have Shiori!”. I imagine maybe Shiori thought Juri’s overprotectiveness and possessiveness was kinda cute when they were 16 and therefore didn’t discourage said behavior but now they are 36, it has longgg ceased to be cute to her anymore so she’s running out of patience for it. However by the end Juri has decided to let go of “becoming a prince” and Shiori was visited by ghost Ruka as well. Now Juri and Shiori can truly move on in life, they can move from harmful roles like princes and princesses that had carried over from their adolescence and instead have relationships as healthy adult. 

Shiori, I think has already moved passed what happened back then and was moving towards the future before ghost! Ruka said hello to her in her dreams. She was just waiting for Juri to catch up. \o3o/

As for Shiori’s relationship to Ruka theres a MASSIVE difference here. It seems like, even though they were engaged to be married, Shiori and Ruka didn’t hold romantic feelings for each other. It was just like “welp we’re in an arranged marriage, alrighty. Might as well get along”. I say that due to Ruka’s crush on Juri and it simply didn’t seem like that’s the case by the brief interaction we saw between the two of them. 

Judging by her response to his death they were still friends, probably close friends. So that makes Ruka and Shiori the childhood friends here, WILD MAN. Anyways, losing Ruka was probably hard on her. We only see her grieving briefly but I think it’s enough to understand there wasn’t animosity between them at the very least and they were indeed most likely close friends. This tells me that Shiori had probably a close childhood, and seemly supportive, friend that she didn’t grow up to hate which makes a world of difference and why she’s less of a trainwreck in BT. It’s kinda a shame we didn’t see more of their interactions, I’d love to see how this version of Ruka and Shiori talked to each other and such.

There is a lot I like/find interesting about this version of Shiori. However I will say I feel there should have been a little more focus on what Shiori was thinking about all this. I feel like theres some gaps here. Like did she actually figure out that Juri is SUPER gay for her? Like I think so cause of what I said earlier and that Juri can’t hide it very well but we haven’t been given any confirmation for sure as far as I can tell. Plus what did she think of Juri before the accident anyways? Or before that? Like, I feel theres some missing pieces here hm. I’d love to see the pieces filled in but we probably won’t get that so I suppose we’re going without sadly. 8/

Let’s get to Ruka and Shiori now, on the Ruka side of things that is. This Ruka is quite different from the Ruka in the anime. Looks like a major difference between anime Ruka and this one is that anime Ruka HATED Shiori and blamed her for all of the problems she and Juri had and was also very jealous of the fact Juri liked her but not him. BT Ruka on the other hand was childhood friends with Shiori and had been engaged to her when they were children. They were close enough to a point when after he died Shiori is shouting to his body “How could you get yourself killed saving Juri?!” which implies that Ruka doing “princely things” isn’t out of character for him to do and he normally didn’t die doing them and Shiori knew that quite well hence his death was all the more shocking. So he didn’t villianize Shiori for breaking Juri’s heart or anything like that. Instead he wanted both the girl he was in love with AND his childhood friend to be happy. Which is super duper different than anime Ruka cause lets face it, in order to make Ruka be likeable enough to be considered a prince figure this kind of change had to be made. Oh yeah and bonus points for BT Ruka for not committing sexual assault, thank god I probably would have died inside if that occurred and was treated as heroic omg…. 

Ruka, was indeed a prince this time around. Fuji and I had discussed that being a prince means sacrificing EVERYTHING, including your life. That’s why he didn’t want Juri to go down that road, if she did she’d end up dead. Hence he calls her a goddess instead, unlike princes a goddess is immortal. It’s hard to say what was going on in Ruka’s mind when he saved Juri and if he had maybe drowned willingly? But why? Like Ruka, buddy. I have a lot of questions still. And there isn’t much answers, cause everyone who writes Ruka love to keep him super mysterious it seems like.

At the end of all this, thanks to ghost! Ruka and Revolution Force Ghost Utena, Juri decides to stop trying to live up to this unobtainable prince role and let it go. Clinging onto this role was damaging to her and the people around her. Instead she’ll do things if she wants to and because she loves to, not because it’s a princely thing to do so. Hence “fight Jyuri” (which I can’t decide if Ruka can’t fuckin spell her name or he is making a TERRIBLE pun) being engraved on the locket. Fuji and I talked about how, this story, as well as the one right b4 it, is alll about finding value in yourself and not in toxic impossible roles either in life or relationships.

Ok! Now I’m gonna talk a bit on the fandom’s reaction. Note to all reading this, I’m not here to say you gotta like this chapter or else. I just want to address a little bit of what I’ve seen online since the translation came out. I understand if you dislike how the story was told/simplified, like each to their own. I’m not here to bag on you, like or dislike whatever you want. If you like it, ok! If you don’t, also ok! Cool? Cool.

Anyways, I’ve seen a couple people saying things like, “what. Juri wouldn’t *insert impulsive/intense action here*” or dislike that its not as complex as the anime/saying Saito doesn’t understand Utena. 

Well first off this isn’t the same Juri as anime Juri, so probably should think of this as a different version of her or it’s gonna be a bad time. And Juri making impulsive choices due to an outburst of her emotions is quite in character, in fact we see that in episode 7 when she nearly tackles Utena into a fountain trying to yank Utena’s ring off, or that episode when she slaps Anthy in the face for seemingly no reason (I know there is one but she still shouldn’t slap her) like listen. Juri pretends/tries to be calm and collected, she isn’t totally what she appears to be. Like, that’s a pretty frequent theme in Utena y’all. But yeah I find that an odd thing to say something like that for a story thats just a different take of these characters, you don’t gotta like it but don’t say its out of character in the context of the anime because we aren’t in the anime’s context. Like this isn’t the anime and never will be. Speaking of which.

I think the fandom can be a bit, overly critical towards Chiho Saito. Is the original manga good? Eh, I think it’s only ok personally (it really has problems tho man). Is it better then the show? No, the anime is still the best version of Utena out there.

Look. Expecting this manga to have similar complexity that the anime had isn’t a good idea because the anime was written by a group of ppl instead of just one person like this manga was! You’re just not gonna get the same result. A group creation will always been different than a single person creation. Always, always, always.

Listen, this series is over 20 years old and has had a ton of media over the years. You don’t have to like this manga if you don’t want to, or any of the other Utena media if thats how you feel. But, I think people are wrong saying Saito doesn’t understand Utena. She does, maybe differently than you do but what’s done in this manga ties in well as a continuation of Utena’s themes. This manga (both the chapters) is about adulthood and moving on from what occurs during childhood and adolescence. It’s a pretty logical move forward for the series to take, you can’t go back to adolescence. You can only move forward and try find yourself as an adult. And that, strikes me as quite RGU feeling indeed. Even though no one has turned into a car yet, but hey. Maybe next time! \*w*/

Super side note: Why the fuck does Miki look like a 13 year old’s head on a grown man’s body? It’s weird! It’s fucking weird! Like gdi Saito you couldn’t like give Miki a new hairstyle or a mustache or something? Is this a plot point? Did Miki find the eternal youth fountain? I’m concerned. Pls let Miki’s face age he is in his 30s omg.

8, 14, 24, 39, 58~ for the video game asks

8. Rarest/Most expensive game in your collection?

Hmm… according to the Internet, the game in my collection that would fit that criteria would be… Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, which is understandable since it was before the series’s popularity rise. (I don’t have Path of Radiance nor have I played it. ouo;;;)

14. Favorite game music?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, too many good game tracks and songs to choose! Some are really catchy, some are really meaningful and emotional, some are really invigorating. Well, I guess I can give a random one:

24. First Pokemon game?

Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition! I wanted to play Pokémon since the show and my brother got Red. I still have it and the original save file.(Pokémon for life!)

39. A sequel that you would die for them to make?

Of the games I’ve played that lack a (proper) sequel or second game, I would have to say The World Ends with You. I mean, they have that teaser image of a new character but nothing came of it? It could involve a new cast of characters, a new city, a new (Reaper’s) game. And the 3DS is still alive and kicking. But yeah, who knows if we’ll ever see the much asked-for TWEWY sequel. (Honorable mention to Kid Icarus: Uprising, another fun game also unlikely to receive a sequel in the near future.)

58. If you can only play 3 games for the rest of your life, which ones do you pick?

This is hard… to choose only 3 games that could play for the rest of my life. They have to have a lot of replayability. Of the games currently available, assuming the services for the game last for the entire time I play, I would choose… maybe an online multiplayer game like Els, Overwatch, or FFXIV; a single player experience… like DR1+2 Reload, KH1.5+2.5 HD Remix, P5, or a Tales game (not sure which one though); and a Pokémon game… let’s go with Sun or Moon since it has the most Pokémon to catch. (That’s not specifically three chosen, but that’s as close as my indecisive self is going to get.)

FE: Birthright Randomised Chapter 14

(aka ‘Am I finally getting good at Fire Emblem? Probably not, I think it was a fluke, tbh’)

It’s Time to do more plot, finally

let’s dilly dally no longer and dive right into chapter 14 :V

oh hey another chapter that has the song lyrics as it’s title lol

well I mean she’s been back for a while but sure let’s pretend that she’s only just come back

yeah we had 2 whole crashes :V

how about randomising Revelation on a version 11.3 3ds? yeah no that’s definitely impossible -3-

proof that Scarlet was replaced with Sakura :V

lmao uhh kinda

Sakura don’t worry about it, man

isn’t it fine without the ‘Lord’ part too though? lmao

hah water it’s funny because her theme is called ‘The Water Maiden’

I am 110% on board with resistance leader Sakura

wait did we technically not get Scarlet before we started chapter 14? heck

there goes Azura humming again :V

do we ever come across these groups? I don’t think we do, actually lmao unless they’re talking about Mokushu lol

uhh yeah good thing you definitely wouldn’t have died horribly if this was Conquest, hahahahah;;;

roll credits wait this isn’t Conquest I can’t make that joke aodhiuhiudiaughd

explooosion

wot nah

oh I don’t know maybe it’s someone who knew there was a resistance, just in general do you think Garon cares about collateral damage? exactly

good, then we can kick some Nohrian ass

between you, Azura and Felicia? we’re more than ready, man

the only thing he expects is for us to be killed

but of course, he’s sorely mistaken >:y

actually I am 120% on board with resistance leader Sakura

this is Fire Emblem, Corrin Of course it isn’t safe

exactly

yas Sakuraaaa

we’re going to disregard the Astral Plane and Deeprealms ok-

I love the randomised family, ngl

aaaaall right time to prep for battle

oh yeah we have to fight Benny and Charlotte in this chapter sorry guys

oooook let’s go

oh man this guy’s dead oh hey, Hinata’s level 20 :o

.... do I risk the Sticky Bomb? Iron Naginata still one shots him but has a 100% chance to hit ...... I’m getting that biscuit

yaaaaas

>:3c

the Dual Katana’s great-

aaand then ALL OF THE UNITS IN THE FORT APPEARS--

have I mentioned that Selkie’s really good

joke’s on you, mate

do I risk the biscuit? I’ll risk the biscuit o h i didn’t get the biscuit :c

I could confront Benny right now but I think I’ll deal with the other units and get my units back together before I do

you’re funerals, mates

oh hey got a funky sword, what does that do

hey bro I saw you uhh saw you were trying to get to Jakob just there how ‘bout I just slide in here and

kill ya

yeah that’s what I thought

hmm maybe if I try rallying luck or smth

THAT’S more like it!

clearly you do not see what weapon he has equipped

sorry Benny we just really need to get into Nohr

oh hey we get his Beast Killer, great! :o

also I’m trying to think does Nyx ever show up in Birthright? I remember when she showed up in Conquest I had no idea she existed hahah Yeah she doesn’t appear in Birthright is there a Birthright equivalent to that? like is there a unit in Birthright and Revelation that doesn’t show up at all in Conquest? I’m trying to think but I cannot for the life of me think that there is anyone like that

anyway, sorry Charlotte

oh man these guys are going to get wrecked, just watch

oh well there are 2 others we can use

observe

and once more! For good measure! >:3c

30 HP goes a long way uvu

now to take the rest of my guys in and clear them up still need to be careful of those archers, though

Hah I love the utility of hidden weapons, have I ever mentioned that? I don’t think I have

and now for you

this guy has literally 0 defence since he tried to fight Takumi meanwhile Setsuna has 26 she’s too powerful, I tell you

also that one Berserker with the Bolt Axe is also pretty scary :’D

just clean up the rest of the armoured uniiits

and now I’m gonna lure out those bow users, and then hopefully get rid of the Berserkers and Heroes without too much trouble, then we go in for the kill with this Bolt Axe Berserker and the boss :V

ok one Berserker down, I need to get Sakura over to Felicia since she took a hit from that guy

aaand another Berserker is almost down, just need to finish him off and then heal Selkie up too :V

the Daikon Destiny hath return

ooh and she levelled up! ouo

ok now for these Heroes oh wait one of them is a Mercenary that makes things easier Oh, Felicia can reach said Mercenary that’s even better

ayyyyy

we done did it! now it’s just the boss and Bolt Axe Berserker to go :D

I think the only one who I’m confident with taking the guy on is Setsuna, tbh time for the moment of truth

hah, he didn’t even hit her

too bad you have literally 0 magic, mate

now give me your Bolt Axe, thanks

now all that’s left is the Boss

it’s overkill, but it works so I’ll take it

you sure talk big when you have 3 HP and Kagero has a Hunter’s Knife

yeah it’s not impossible in the least, she had a 100% chance to hit also, Kagero levelled up :o

ayyyyyyy we done did iiiiit

heck yeah it did I’m quite pleased with my strategies with it too, if I do say so myself~

yeah like at least 10 chapters worth

that sounds like a good plan I like that plan a lot

well, aren’t you prepared, Azura?

I feel you, Corrin especially recently hahahah;;;;;

probably the same thing as you, Corrin

HAH uhh yeah about that, Corrin

its funny because it is literally dead silent lol

but w h y she doesn’t need to oh yeah, the plot

there she iiiiis

that’s probably the case, yeah

of course not what are you talking about? hahahahah;;;;;

(Kagero’s voice line was ‘what?’ lol)

magic, bro

I forgot for a moment that Reina was now the archduke lol

more like you CAN’T talk about it :V

nah, I don’t think she wants to disappear yet, bro

I could say the same to you, Kagero

because you really don’t, Corrin, lol

just play Revelation and you’ll understand hahah

oh yeah this part :V

cutsceeeene

it’s like when you do something stupid and then feel really bad about it and then a little bit later you’re completely over it hahahah;;

spooky scury

pretty much

in other words; Not Fun

uhh yeah let’s go with that

that it will indeed :V

aaaand that’s the chapter! I think I’m going to leave it here since this went on quite long :V so uhh yeah next time we’re going into the mountains and we gotta put those Beast Killers to good use :’D

[inuykago]

hey can you write analyses about inuyasha. Like your opinion on who inuyasha loves more? and why you think so? And maybe share all your feels about inukag on certain episodes! Definitely want to hear your opinion since you're watching it for the first time! I really enjoy your blog!

im so flattered by this ask & so so happy you enjoy my blog T-T

i’ve been thinking about this alllll day so here goes it!

so first all, i think Inuyasha is sucha great, great show. It takes a lot for me to really get into a show, let alone create a whole blog dedicated to it, and inuyasha was really able to grasp my attention within the first episode. I either like or dislike a show, and i freaking LOVE inuyasha. The characters are so dynamic and different and all such bad ass bitches in their own ways, and i LIVE for that! and of course the ships in the show makes it 1000000x better. Though there are a lot of episode and people may find that to be dragging, i think it’s really great bc the show preciously shows the story line and doesn’t let its viewers miss out on any detail. Whether it’s just one line or an entire scene, inuyasha really knows how to keep its viewers interested.

Before I give my opinion on who I think Inuyasha more, I think it’s really important to first show I analyze both Kikyo and Kagome (based on what I’ve watched which is up to season 6 so far).

So, let’s take a look back at Kikyo - Kikyo was obviously taken away by Inuyasha, as we saw in the flashbacks, she spent quite sometime with inu, whether it was to seriously talk or just take a simple stroll. From what I’ve seen so far, Kikyo’s love for Inuyasha is much more mature and serious. Kikyo knows what her duty in life was, and that was to protect the sacred jewel. Kikyo and Inu talked more on serious terms, while of course, also enjoying each other’s company, which made both of them forget about their worries and flaws for awhile. She tries to convince Inu to use the shikon jewel to make him fully human. Not only did Kikyo want this as a way to be with him for eternity, but also because she wanted to settle down. She wanted to settle down with someone who has made her feel much differently than ever before. Kikyo wanted to spend the remainder of her life with Inuyasha, and help him grow and just embrace in one another in what they are - a priestess and half-demon. They were defying all odds and both her and Inu fell in love with that. Kikyo wanted Inuyasha to grow up, but to also grow old with her. 

Now, Kagome, despite being Kikyo’s reincarnation, is much more different than Kikyo and I think that has to be one of the most beautiful parts to this “love triangle,” if you will. Finding Inuyasha pinned to the Sacred Tree in the Feudal Era was, obviously, life-changing for her. She was confused, curious, and also a bit scared. However, after Inuyasha saves the village from a demon, I believe she finds herself feeling more safe. Though Kagome didn’t realize it, she had already developed a little crush - a little baby crush. But this soon turns into an innocent, childish love. Not childish like immature, but childish like new and unaware. Kagome loves Inuyasha and yearns to be by his side to experience new adventures, new feelings, new knowledge, and just have fun. Kagome wants to experience everything first with Inu. However, despite her love that runs so deep, she is mature enough to understand that Kikyo will always by Inu’s first: his first love. Though this breaks her heart, she swallows her pride and embraces Inuyasha’s decision to pursue Kikyo first and forth most. Her love is so genuine, she just wants the chance to experience life by his side, even if that means Inuyasha doesn’t reciprocate that same desire.

Therefore, I believe that Kagome loves Inuyasha more (if that wasn’t already obvious lol). I cannot fully express the amount of love Kagome has for Inuyasha. It takes so much courage, understanding, and LOVE to be able to watch the person you love, basically, love someone else and, subconciously, puts you to second-best. As I previously explained, Kagome wants to experience life with Inu by all means necessary. She lives for the arguments, laughter, and danger that comes their way. She knows that though he still has feelings for Kikyo, Inu would never hesitate to protect/save Kagome, and that’s what puts her mind to ease. Her innocent, childish, yet mature love for Inuyasha is impossible for me to ignore because it’s so much more than just “love” itself.

So, if you see all my posts, you’ll obviously see how i go completely berserk when an inukag moment happens, even if it’s for a split second, my heart literally cannot contain itself. Since there are sooooooooooooooooooooo many inukag moments/episodes, I’ll just talk about my top three that I can remember off the top of my head for now!

Season 1, Episode 1-2

of course i had to mention the ICONIC episode(s) that started it all. When i first watched the episode, I didn’t really know what to expect. I used to watch the show when I was younger, but I was like 6 so of course I had no idea what was going on. So let me tell you, how messed up I am now when Kagome saw Inuyasha, on that tree, all helpless, but yet “sleeping” so soundly….I’M REAL MESSED UP. When she reaches for Inu’s lil doggy ears it hurts me so much because I love his lil doggy ears and how he wiggles it around when he hears something or people talk about it. Just the mere fact that Kagome pulled out the arrow out of him (((EVEN THO EVERYONE TOLD HER NOT TO BECAUSE HE WILL KILL EVERYONE))) just makes me really want to punch myself in the face or something because even she knew!!! she had to do it!!! And then as the episode goes on and Inu keeps calling her Kikyo i’m honestly like “really man” and of course it’s understandable why Kagome gets so uptight about it. But that whole thing is the first-hand example of how Inu cannot forget Kikyo. Anyways, when Lady Kaede puts the spell on Inu and gives him a necklace that can’t be taken off and thus the infamous “Sit!” comes in…. dude, when inu just sits there all sassy because he can’t do anything it melts my heart lmao. Then of course in the following episodes Inu and Kagome have to team up to find the shards after Kagome accidentally shatters it, and thus INUKAG IS BORN OUO

 Season 2 Episode 48

Okay, let’s be real here. This episode is/was the actual source of my TEARS. LIKE!!!!!!!! As soon as I realized that Kagome was going to end up seeing Kikyo I was screeching my poor precious Kagome her innocent precious eyes, I didn’t NOT want her to see that T-T But so she did, and my heart was ripped out yet again… When Inu hugged Kikyo and says that he’s the only who to protect her, I was both sad and mad but more sad because !!!KAGOME!! and then when he turns around and sees Kagome and he looks at her with those precious little puppy dog eyes….all the feels man…. all the feels…. Then when Kagome goes back home and thinks about Inu and Kikyo and wishes Kikyo didn’t exist I FELT THAT like spiritually mentally physically… Then later on in the episode when Kagome decides that it’d be best to never go back to the feudal era and give back the shards and forget about Inuyasha and all I literally started crying. I was in my school library and I was crying in my cubicle. but OK AT THE END WHEN INUYASHA AND KAGOME TALK AND I FELT THE TENSION AND EVERYTHING AND KAGOME EXPRESSED HOW SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT INU WILL ALWAYS HAVE FEELINGS FOR KIKYO, BUT SHE STILL WANTS TO STAY BY HIS SIDE AND HOLDS HIS HAND AND THEY WALK TOGETHER!!!!! LIKE!!!! THAT IS WHY IM SO FOR INUKAG AND KAGOME IS A BOSS ASS BITCH. SHE IS SO MATURE AND LOVES INUYASHA SO DEEPLY AND JUST WANTS TO LOVE HIM AND LIVE LIFE WITH HIM AND MAKE SURE HE’S HAPPY AND OUT OF HARMS WAY AND JUST BURY ME WITH MY SHIP

Season 4 Episode 89

Let me just say that i freaking LIVE for episodes that take place in the modern dimension, because I know Inuyasha will always find his way into there because Kagome always gets back “late” (yeah ok or he just CANT STAND NOT SEEING HER) and Inuyasha in modern day is so adorable because he’s so lost and clueless and so used to fighting demons and monsters that he doesn’t even know what it’s like to walk in a city and i just LOVE it. Anyways, the tHING THAT REALLY GOT ME IS HOW OK HOJO ALWAYS GIVES KAGOME FOOD AND FRUITS TO CURE HER “ILLNESSES” BUT IN THIS EPISODE INUYASHA DOES SOME OF HIS OWN HUNTING AND GATHERING AND GETS INGREDIENTS FOR KAGOME AND BRINGS A GIANT LOAD OF IT BACK TO HER HOME AND HE MAKES IT AT HER HOME AND JUST T______T I CANNOT. Then at night when he pat Kagome as she fell asleep and he watched over her and looked through her photo album, i was living and i was loving it. Like my inukag feels NEED these things. And he just spent the night with her like fck my shit up ugh. and when Kagome woke up the next morning and realized she was gonna be later and Inu rushed her to get dressed and took her to school for her “test” !!!!!! I COULDNT HE WAS SO HAPPY TO TAKE HER TO SCHOOL AND HAPPILY WAITED FOR HER TO FINISH UP THE SCHOOL DAY AND HE WAS JUST SO PRIDEFUL AND HAPPY AND WANTS KAGOME TO EXCEL BECAUSE HE KNOWS SHE CAN AND THATS WHEN MY HEART BURSTED 

once again thank you so much for this ask, and anyone who read this!! I know its A LOT but i have a LOT of feelings and inukag murders my soul but i love it and now cannot live without it. Thank you for allowing me to pour out all my emotions

2017 seoul //  jan 11 (namdaemun market + namsan tower) 

We started our day at the namdaemun market, which was an interesting experience (kinda reminded us of the Chinatowns we’ve seen before LOLOL). It has that local/rustic vibe to it~ We got some street food and just roamed every corners of it (( ouo there were a lot of accessories buildings/shops! )). Then we ventured out a bit and found a gate -- spent a while there just taking pictures there (LOLOL I can’t imagine how long we’d stay at the palaces hah). Walked back to the market and strolled around a bit more. Few hours later, we came home to freshen up a bit (cough I also had to change cause I messed up my blouse when having streetfood #sighsbao). 

After the short break, we headed out to namsan tower-- we decided on the bus since we are both deadly afraid of heights. We were going to take the 3 from seoul station, but we waited for 40+ minutes (LOOL) when this cable car shuttle came by-- the ahjussi said there’s no bus running so we just hopped on. He kept trying to talk to us in Korean, but us: .. umm :((((  ???? huh?? 

okay the conversation went more than that LOL but along those lines. I thought he was really friendly though (the first time I had faith people here are nice #sorrybutreally). 

When we arrived at the lift/cable car center, we were like “fffffffff itttttt” (although my heart was about to drop cause I am 100000000% scared of heights like luhan’s fear x 100000000000). The ride up to namsan tower consisted me of muttering “fucks” and “oh shits” and “I am sorry for my profanities” on top of my legs giving out of me. lololol. you think I am being extra but that’s really what happened. I’d have cried if it wasn’t for the strangers around me. 

Anyway, the view on top was just lovely~~~ I love how we went at the right time to see the sunset and all the colors in the sky (yasyasyas!! I was sad that my polaroids didn’t come out nice though :((( wasted like 12+ shots and they came out p dark/underdeveloped). Maybe next time we will walk up?? hahas. 

We got the all package (observatory deck, hello kitty and ssentoy museum). Omg, hello kitty museum was legit heaven (and I hate myself for wasting the polaroid shots outside when the colors in there were vibrant +++ perfect for shots!! I wished I brought more refills out that day!!). And the iron man stuff in the ssentoy museum were !!!!!!!!!! I want to take all the figurines home!!!! please LOL. Of the three, the observatory deck was a bit lacking. ;~; Anywho, spent few more hours there exploring, taking photos, and buying gifts. 

We decided to go back to myeongdong (lol always give things few more tries right?) to walk around and grab some street food. When we took the cable car back to the bottom, the announcer/worker there mentioned myeongdong is about a 7 minute walk and the taxi there would cost at most base rate. We tried looking for a bus/shuttle back down first, but we waited ++ couldn’t see it.. And we didn’t really want to wait in the cold or walk+get lost LOL, so we just decided to hail a taxi. I mean it’s only 3000 right?? but boy, lolol nope. 

When we arrived, the ahjussi asked us to pay and he gestured 26 (so we were thinking 2600 but that was lower than base rate so.. hmm..). He started getting really angry at us for not understanding and #legitscared cause he was raising his voice. So I took out my phone to let him type out how much. He almost threw a fit at that too, but he finally punched out 26000. My friend and I were pretty sure we are getting scammed, but you know.. at that point we didn’t even know what to do anymore (why the f do we should like hopeless female leads in dramas who are weak and useless. please bao get your shit together)  we really didn’t want to provoke him more because he actually sound quite angry so we just gave him the money ++ learned another lesson. ((also we should’ve noticed the red flag that there wasn’t a meter ticking when he started.......-_- and we should’ve probably asked for a receipt but idk that might have pissed him off too.)) needless to say, another freaking day ruined lol (but let’s try to stay on the positives... ngl though i don’t think i can trust any natives here anymore lol.) 

ANYWAY, we walked to lotte duty free mall (sadly it was close or fortunately for me not to blow $ LOL). BUT I GOT TO SEE CHANYEOL’S BEAUTIFUL FACE ON BIG SCREEEENS (plural) AND HIS HANDPRINT!!! (let the inner fangirl free). his hands are huge ++ he’s so cute ++ I am in tears ++ I felt 10x better already. thank you chanyeol for always bringing joys to my day. 💛😂 #sappyaf 

fast foward: we grabbed few bites then headed home (I realize I never remember to take food photos lolol ops) 

[bigbrothermatsuoka]

Ina-chan~ Can you do the love love asks about you and Rin and your relationship? I wanna know more! :D

E-Eh?! M-Me with Rin? W-Well I can try! Considering how some of the asks doesn’t have relationships. Since you require all of the questions, I’ll try my best to answer all of them!

Me: Instead, I’ll just having him next to me as I answer the questions

Rin: hello, my name is Matsuoka Rin, my name has a girly name but I’m actually a boy–

Me: I didn’t say to do your intro, buT SINCE YOU ASK I’LL LET YOU DO YOU

Jokes aside, some of the answers can be very personal so I’m leaving them under the cut to let ya’ll read.

Blush : What do you do when you have a crush on someone?

Me: I usually stay quiet when I do. the reason why I stay quiet, mainly because I wouldn’t be so sure if I really do have a crush on someone or not. So if I can hang out with them or get to know them a little better, the feelings vary from there on out.

when I’m alone with my crush, I can be very talkative. I would feel extremely awkward if the two of us remained quiet, so I usually try to maintain a good conversation, just in case if things start to die down.

Rin:…so that’s why you couldn’t stop talking that one time.

Me: Y-Yes…. >////

Kiss : What’s the sweetest thing someone has done for you? 

Me: Sweetest thing? Probably someone buying me anything really! or treating me as well. I don’t get a lot of affection or special stuff so yeah!

for Rin, I think just being an inspiration in my life is the most sweetest thing that he would do. No one in real life was able to make me stand like I am now so I would really thank him for that. .////.

Rin: Really? I’m glad to hear that. *smiles*

Me: *Thinks to myself* AAAAAAAAAAA AA  S TOP S MILING SO SW EE TLY—

Cuddle : Which one of your mutuals do you really want to hug right now?

Me: all of them~ if they let me ;w;

Rin: I’d let you cuddle me if you wan–

Me: AHAHAHA…A. THATS OKAY… *sweats nervously*

Heartbeat : What fictional character do you love?

Me: ME??? ? ?? IN LOVE??? I DON’T HAVE—

Rin: Oi, take a look at this picture I just took of myself,

Me: *looks into the camera* okay i lied bECAUSE I CAN ‘T DENY THESE I JUST LOV ET HEM

Rin: huh? Who are you saying this to?

Romance : Perfect date?

Me: I would love to go somewhere for dinner and just walk around the park during the night sky. I’m a night owl and I just adore star gazing!

Rin: Funny you mention that, because I tend to do the same for you.

Me: H-Huh? Y-You don’t have to, if it’s just you, then I wouldn’t mind doing whatever you wanted to do.

Rin: But what if I said I wanted to take you out for dinner and walk around to look at the stars~?

Me: …F-Fine you win >////

Joy : What truly makes you happy?

Honestly, I think having close friends make me the most happiest person alive. That, along with Rin Matsuoka and Rei Ryugazaki for many reasons, they are just so important to me and are the reasons why I’m moving forward today….

Rin: Ah, I’m glad you feel that way about me. I can somehow understand your pain because what got me back up was Haru and the others.

Me: Yeah…them too but you and Rei…just stood out to me the most.

Rin: Really now?

Me: *nods shyly* I’ll explain later…

Happiness : Who are your kin?

Me: LMAO I dunno what a kin is so I’ma skip OTL

Love : Are you, or have you been, in love before?

Me: *looks around to see if Rin is in the room then tries to speak as quick as possible* Sadly I have, but usually they fade away, probably because I know how to deal with getting over things so easily even though for friends, I have a hard time letting go //BRICKED. However, with Rin…I can’t seem to get over him no matter how hard I try. He, along with Rei have a big impact onto my life and I couldn’t have asked for a better inspiration.

Rin: *comes back from the bathroom* What I miss?

Me: A-AH! Nothing! Moving on!

Beloved : What do you love the most about yourself?

Me: There’s not alot really, but if I had to say something it would probably be either the way I sing or how my hair is.

Rin:….so you do care for yourself!

Me: I-I SAID IF RIN!

Sweet: Favorite love song?

Me: TOO MANY TURIEFYDSJOA if I had to describe what song would be for me and Rin, it would most likely be Hello by Lionel Richie call me cheesy but I can relate every time I think of Rin >///

Rin: *comes from the kitchen with snacks* He got you snacks.

Me: A-Ah! Hey! And thanks.

Cute : What’s your aesthetic?

Me: *sweats nervously as I look into my kink list* Lets just skip that >.>

Rin: What’s that on your hand?

Me: NOTHING MOVING ON!!

Thoughtful : If you could change your name, what would you call yourself?

Me: Honestly, I really love my name. I never really thought about changing it one bit because of how unique it is.

Charming : Who helps motivate you?

Me: *looks at the question and turns to Rin* He Rin I’m thirsty can you get me some water while I’m fishing the questions?

Rin: Ah, okay. *Walks off to get the drinks*

Me: *sighs deeply and answers* R-Rin and R-Rei >/////

Beautiful : Who is your ideal significant other? 

Me: For a significant other, I wish to have someone to be determined and passionate towards something that he would want to do. I also want a person that’s can support my dreams while I support his. At the same time, I also want him to be very understanding and loyal as well. Having someone understand you is like finding your other half. Lastly, I wish for a guy that has emotions. Having to always be stoic and act “manly” Isn’t my forte. At the same time it would be nice for him to tease me every now and then

If there was someone that had most of these traits, it would be Rin and Rei.

Rin: Hey, I’m back *Hands out water*

Me: H-H-Hey! Thanks! *takes the water*

Affection : Who do you ship?

Me: Depending on the fandom, I haven’t shipped anything in a while but my current ship at the moment would be Shigure x Nina from Fire emblem. 

JUST RECENT: I was just done looking at Dangan ronpa V3….and I have another ship…but I won’t say because it’s a spoiler for those who haven’t watched it yet!

Kind : What Pokemon would you be?

Me: GODS….THERES SO MANY OF THEM IDK WHICH ONE I WANNA BE…..probably a blaziken

Rin: Blaziken? Isn’t that a fire type?

Me: Y E S

Heart Beat : You’re getting coffee with a celebrity, who is it?

Me: Tops down Amy Lee. She’s one of the most inspirational singers I know and I wish to someday sing just like her…even though my voice might be fading.

Rin: If you wanted to sing that bad, why don’t you sign up to auditions and perform on stage?

Me: I have thought about doing that Rin, but I don’t like the idea of having your own life be exposed for others to know about. It’s like you’ll never be safe if your ever famous ya know?

 Rin: I see, thats reasonable

Giggle : Do you believe in love at first sight?

Me: Maybe? Not really? Who knows, I don’t think I ran into anyone within this situation though. Probably because I’d like to get to know them better.

Laughter : Who can always make you laugh?

Me: Honestly, my friends. Each time I joke around and say lots of things to them, they all know how to brighten my day or make the worse thoughts go away. I would be pretty much dull and alone if it weren’t for having the best of friends.

Rin: Like that one time where Nagisa wouldn’t stop bugging Rei about his personal belongings and how they went missing?

Me: Exactly!

Smile : What do you find attractive?

Me: Probably a guy that is tall, determined, passionate, dedicated towards what they like–

Rin: Me?

Me: RUIEHSDJOJF SHHUSHHHH!!! *blushes*

Warmth : What is your happy place?

Me: Anywhere where I can have some alone time. Normally I’d say my room but my dad has been on and off at my lately to the point where I can’t find my happy place anymore.

Huggable : What are your favorite flowers?

Me: I love Roses~ Their just so beautiful!

Rin: *Walks in holding out a bunch of Roses*

Me: UIORTHFERIOFHRJFH Y-You didn’t have too Rin >////

Soul Mate : Who is your best friend?

Me:I have alot of best friends, but there a few that I believe that deserves to be acknolege.

Real life: @lostpirika @moonlitcritter and one other in real life.

Online: @nymvee @momokitty27 (That’s you~!!) the rest are on skype but not active on tumblr so ouo

Rin: These friends mean alot to you huh?

Me: Yeah, whenever I have them, I feel like I’m unstoppable…

Rin: I see, just like how I felt with Haru and the others

Unique : What qualities do you look for in other people?

Me: Wasn’t there a similar question like this?

Rin: Ah, I think their asking for in general, not as a lover..

Me: Oh that makes sense, I guess people that can have all the patients in the world and stand by my side no matter what happens in the world. I also would love for people to be honest with me. Within the past, I’ve had certain friends that didn’t believe in me or be honest with their words which makes me question almost everyone in the planet if their telling the truth or not. Which leaves me into having a final quality

Trust and lots of support. About a month ago I lashed out at a friend who was telling the truth to me. but I didn’t believe her because I felt like she was lying. Which made me feel that I failed to notice the people who truly care for me.

Other than that, I’m pretty much chill with hanging with alot of other people.

Trust : Do you trust people easily?

Me: This question is very difficult to answer because alot of people I’ve faced within my life have lied to me many times. If I had to tell the harsh truth. No, I don’t.

At first, I’m pretty open to everyone, but lately, I’ve just been pushing people away because I’m scared that I’ll just get hurt again. This feeling was just recent, and it’s has a personal reason that I’m not ready to share.

Rin: That sounds harsh, I’m sorry everything didn’t go too well.

Me: Not you’re fault, honest!

Dearest : What item is most dear to you?

Me: Item? Hmm…

Me: Any gift that a friend gives to me is always something dear to me.

Rin: Like thoese Rose I gave to you earlier?

Me: UIRHOJI R I N

( update. )

||: aight about these changes that’ll be mostly effective immediate lets start with the important one, current classes Deni is taking. some have been dropped and replaced by new ones which means this hopefully opens new plot opportunities with at least few of you, and some will not be happening now ( wont be affecting anyone? here tbh as those muses have all dropped )-- I am open for past plots with the dropped courses though if ya wanna, js ;> or someone approaching him to ask why he dropped any particular one.  SO

continued

Beginner’s magic

English

3D art

dropped

Smithing & armour maintenance *

Sociology

Swimming & diving **

new courses

Potions for beginners ( he’s definitely up to no good here... )

Archery

Drawing & Painting *

Modern Dance **

* smithing & armour maintenance he only ever picked cause it was something familiar in a new environment, comfort taken in already having knowledge of this one thing at least and being able to absorb more in as well-- which lead to him realizing it’s definitely not what he wants to actually do when trying to plan his future. this leads to him picking up drawing class bc that is also something that he’s already familiar with, to a lesser extent and kept as a hobby so far ( beside using it as another tool for visioning his smithing projects ) but he wants to try if there’s any spark there to go deeper into the arts.

** long story short he used to live with these guys back in Seoul before coming to Vighulir of which two were dancers and one thing led to another Deni spent a lot of time hanging at their dance studio and eventually that and a sum of many things led to him accepting jobs as a stripper. He might argue it’s for semi-professional self improvement but reason lies somewhere in between that and why he took swimming & diving classes-- bc it seemed like easy fun and exercise and allowed him access to the pools. also it certainly was a plus to see classmates in.. less clothes. yep. he’s that guy.

anyhooo I still don’t see him joining any clubs -- esp with this line up, nothing against it but not his scene uwu *nudges yall* bringing to life a new one or two would be fun ey? ofc with admin’s approval. slips a notion about deni and @kimhyolyn-ia orchestrating a kink club somewhere there

that out of the way the rest of this is gonna be more of informative pointers what’s happened recently in his life and the people who affected that, or are doing so currently, and also a small list about.. well, things to maybe take into consideration with interactions and also a reminder to the rest beside all new and those old members who I maybe haven’t gotten to bother with this muse yet but you’d want me to ouo

lets talk a bit about his relations in IA verse and how your muse is more than welcome to take note of them as it’s not really any weird rp magic, this is most in the knowledge of the population of the school, who care to observe others at least.

he’s got a new roomie again everyone should go poke him yes @yamaken-ia

with @rxelizabeth‘s departure he has more time for other people, but she will still be very much part of his canon and their friendship is still a thing and she will be mentioned here and there in threads. you can deal with that however you like, sometimes it’s ofc easier to pretend the muse was never there but at the very least if your muse has been aware of either of them it would make all the sense to note a missing presence, as he went a good 6 months basically attached to hip with her and I refuse to erase what was a huge part of his time in the academy

while he has people he considers sort of friends he will mostly be seen with @ravan-ia now, someone he considers one of his closest friends and may or may not latch onto now that.. rest have left.

it’s no secret him and @kimhyolyn-ia are banging and they own zero subtlety in public bc who needs that lmao feel free to mention that if you want I assure neither of us or the muses care

his schedule wont change much, or the locations deni generally hangs out in but a short summary to make everything easier for yall in regards of plotting and where to catch him at what times ( this isn’t fixed by any means, but more to give direction of his typical week, excluding visits to certain other parts of the academy grounds or trips to Vighulir )

Beside taking forever and after to get ready in the mornings, from waking up to the end of the school day not a whole lot of deviation can be made, tho he might skip sometimes, rarely, it happens. class projects are always a fun thing to thread winkwink.

lunch however is spend at wherever he feels the need to go, and with whoever happens to be closest so he can bother them.

library is a place he does spent some amount of time, either right after school to deal with homework or for research, or the last few hours of the day which usually are spent less looking for books than people.

randomly goes to the academy roof

the common room/roof garden in Sol Solis dorm is a location he absolutely still goes to ( used to hang there with Eliza ) even by himself or dragging someone else along. or trying to be sneaky during free nights to smoke weed there. or get drunk. a favourite pastime >_>

Ignis dorm is another he frequently spends not only hours of a day but some nights in as well, thanks to Ren’s hospitality ( as in Deni just pretends it’s half his room now cause damn have you seen that shit so much nicer that what he was left with )

do I even need to mention Luna dorm for obvious reasons. It’s not the bar. Though he’s an occasional fan of it yes.

This said he honestly doesn’t spend much any time at all at his own room in Aqua dorm, beside other reasons he’s simply always elsewhere with someone, or if he does happen to be present he’s very rarely alone.

This leads to; Deni works at the casino in Pidvone Misto during weeknights, monday--thursday but not always every night. Which means he is usually unavailable from late evening to 3am ish at what time you may catch him returning to the dorm. usually sober but, it’s not too uncommon to witness the opposite either

free nights are a roll of a dice but if he’s not catching up on sleep like he probably really should be, or got nothing else going on best believe he’s out there clubbing and drinking all that hard earned money into oblivion

about 90% of weekends he spends in Seoul, working at one of two clubs he gets assigned between. That covers his nights. days however are generally free beside the side job he’s got. Namely dealing and doing drug runs. Coincidentally for the same people who own the nightclubs. That’s a thing yes. though someone’s stirring their spoon in this mess soon stay tuned ;>

probably forgot something but this covers the essentials already so.

extra special section!

with the arrival of another two-seventy ( at last do you hear me crying tears of joy ) @kangjun-ia I do need to mention this lil thing about Deni still keeping it a tightly guarded secret what he actually is. As it stands, no one who absolutely should know ( to his knowledge ) is aware of this and he’d prefer to keep it that way. With the exception of our late-dropped Seline & Hongbin. and other exceptions to this rule being if your muse is some type of necromancer/exorcist OR is an ancient fart and you think they would be able to tell, then ya go ahead and make it so! I’m fine with it as well if your muse has been in contact with another one of their kind in the past and would be able to pick on that particular aura.

now, development will happen of course and beside having my own plans for this entire matter I’m always down for exploring that side of him but it’s a slow burn and I’m totally fine with that tbh. if Jun is going about telling people it would make sense that your muse starts seeing/sensing the connection as, well, we do have plotted they will be acquainted so ouo put my muse in an uncomfortable spot I dare you.

K I’M DONE THANK YOU CONTINUE ON YOUR DAY-- OR COME PLOT WITH ME EITHER WAY HAVE A LOVELY DAY~  ♥
