#miu's tail is so cool

[drawbauchery]

I drew more kitties

MORE KITTIESSS!?!?

[carbonatedjem]

thinking about the werewolf au again (you'll never fuckin' guess what i'm sketching right now). had an idea. Junko, so desperate to also be a cool werewolf, holds Kazuichi (or Miu? Both??) at gunpoint to install cybernetics into her head and spine to give her a functioning set of wolf ears + tail. as a bonus this means Junko with a cool cyborg spine.

@wind-becomes-lightning TUMBLR ATE UR ASK SOMEWHERE BETWEEN INBOX AND DRAFT 😢😢😢😢 anywayyyyy here r the kids!!!!!!!! they are comparing parent histories via history books and shitty drawings AKSNJSJA i had so much fun drawing them!!!!!!!! genuinely. babies. so true <3

also i had a LOT of ideas and the only one i didn’t write was sayuri and obito meetup bc idk enough ab their relationship and that’s more your territory ajsjdbjshdjd <3333

this is just the most brain vomit thing ever, and it’s also from the pov of nsmap obkkrin :3 mostly lol

obito appears alone first, in the middle of kkyuri + kids Normal Family Walk Time. this immediately sends kks and sayuri freaking The Fuck out bc sayuri can’t see a genjutsu and kakashi doesn’t sense one, so what kind of sick joke is somebody playing on them?

obito, who’s just gotten back from saving his kids from their own dimensional fuckery w his partners, is also Freaking The Fuck Out because WHERE ARE THEY???? he sees kakashi, takes half a step towards him in relief before he pauses because hey, that’s not his kakashi, that’s not rin, and they definitely only have two kids and none of those are them.

few tense moments pass before kkrin+twins+minato blip into existence, minato’s seal flaming at their feet. “shit,” kakashi mutters, then is immediately tackled by obito who takes the whole family down with him. “holy shit i thought i lost you guys,” etc etc. they stand back up and. oh yeah. the other dimension kakashi who looks like he’s going to pass out, held up by who they can only assume is his wife who also looks like she’s going to die.

“uh. hi.” obito says, something something introductions, yes we’re real we’re from a different dimension and trying to get home. yeah but we need a new seal because some idiot burnt it up in transit (“i memorized it, dumbass,” kakashi says, tapping his head in clear irritation, like they’ve had this argument before). oh you have some on you? sweet!

—

nisi!kakashi and kakashi

kakashi takes the paper and ink from New Dimension kakashi, who now looks considerably calmer and now just.. confused. kakashi can help with that. “the kids got ahold of a scrapped seal of minato’s,” he explains, taking a few steps away to lead nisi!kakashi somewhere quieter. “sent them back in time, and we went to save them. but the seal was still faulty, it’s a miracle they made it in one piece. so we fixed it, but apparently accidentally figured out how to cross dimensions instead of travel. so, we landed here and now we just really want to get back home.”

nisi!kakashi and kakashi get to some talking, though neither are very talkative and prefer observing. but as they hear everyone else getting to talking, comparing dimensions, well.

kakashi: is dad alive here?

nisi!kakashi: …no. he died when i was six. [silence] but. i got to see him in the afterlife, get my closure and all that. (does this kakashi experience the same? have they had a war yet? looking at obito, alive and well, perhaps not. did he get that closure?)

kakashi, looking at nisi!kakashi with slight concern: ,.right. the afterlife. :/ uh well dad’s actually alive where i am. came back about a year ago from captivity. (so there’s no need to help a different kakashi search for his lost father here, then, if he really did die. that’s…something).

nisi kid ocs and the twins+minato

the kids are already comparing parents. in this universe, obito seems to have gone down a bad path and started a war. but he ended up good, tsuki and obito and miu say, because that’s what their dad always tells them. he was good in the end.

minato, keeping an eye on the kids and observing from behind, looks sick.

the twins think the drawn version of juubito looks cool as hell. they go and recreate their own iteration of their obito but with mokuton, because he doesn’t have a ten-tails. oh, but you know who has a three tails? mama! it’s name is isobu and he’s super cool. he makes swimming super/ fun.

obito’s next in line for the hat in the nsmap universe. but in this one, kakashi got to be hokage? that’s super cool! the twins get to see all the technological advances he brought to konoha, as well as how he settled treaties with other nations. he did a lot here! that’s what grandpa’s doing in our universe.

—

nisi!kakashi and rin

nisi!kakashi and rin visit for a bit. it’s not as awkward as kakashi expected it to be, but he supposes that’s because they’ve had time to. recover. he did still chidori rin in nsmap universe, rin still chose that path. but this time isobu saved her because there was no obito around to save their bodies from the kiri nin, because he was at home doing physical therapy.

rin and isobu have made peace with each other. she hopes that this universe’s kakashi’s made peace with his rin, even if she is dead.

—

nisi!kakashi and kakashi

kakashi: so, do you have. hound?

nisi!kakashi: the…anbu? i did anbu for a good portion of my life, and i was hound, yes.

kakashi, hurriedly: nvm. forget i said that love and light. <3

—

nisi!kakashi and obito

kakashi’s already made peace with obito. but he’s curious about what would’ve happened if things had gone differently.

kannabi still happened, but his struggle in nisi!kakashi’s universe is replaced by a mental, physical, and emotional struggle in the form of healing from kannabi. which sure, happened in this universe too, but he wasn’t around people to hurt. in nsmap universe, he hurt the people closest to him frequently in fits of anger. but he healed eventually, moved in with and got married to kkrin. they had momo and mosu (unplanned smh), and here they are now.

so there never was a war. at the very least, “did you ever meet zetsu?”

“hm?”

“plant guy made out of the same stuff as hashirama cells. orchestrated the whole war, manipulated. you.”

and obito looks pale, because yes. he does know zetsu. he just also wasn’t entirely aware zetsu wasn’t just a figment of his imagination.

this changes things.

—

so this is who obito is named after.

he seems nice, at least. he’s funny, and everyone else enjoys him. he’s grown flowers for everyone and is currently throwing a hollow wooden ball that he made himself for his own kids to run and catch.

.

mosu’s the one that’s proudly introducing everyone, and obito has to smile when obito’s introduced.

he looks timid. he’s wearing kakashi’s old clothes, or a copy of them. they’re far less bossy on obito’s wary look than kakashi’s demanding stance.

—

momo and mosu using anbu sign (learned from hound) to communicate with each other (planning on attacking minato in secret), tsuki trained to respond on instinct having the WORST and most confused time ever trying not to slap their hands out of the air to get them to stop.

nisi!kakashi a bit confused because hey. aren’t those supposed to be super-fucking-secret? he looks at kakashi like 🤨🤨 and kakashi just blinks and looks away (<- so not ready to talk ab hound with other people, even himself from another universe).

Aohal Devil 2

Author: Alkiya Ikeda

Illustrator: YUFOU

Label: Dengeki Bunko

Release Date: 10 February 2023

My Score: 3/5

Content warning: attempted f-on-m nonconsensual sexual intimacy.

This volume focuses on Miu, Aruha’s classmate and friend who loves rock music and is part of a band. The cultural festival is coming up and her band is preparing to play but she comes to Aruha with a problem: she’s grown bunny ears and a tail. Seeing that this is clearly the work of a devil, Aruha vows to help her out. While they initially think that Miu’s wish is to do well at the festival, it’s clear to the audience straight away that she has a crush on Aruha and is jealous of Ioka and that her wish likely has more to do with that. Meanwhile, Ioka’s going well after the exorcism of her devil but people have started to take photos of someone who looks exactly like her in places where she hasn’t been. Furthermore, while Aruha helps Miu, it seems like Ioka is suddenly putting some distance between herself and Aruha.

The first half of this volume was rough. It’s a lot of drama with a poorly executed love triangle and Aruha being indecisive. I think there is one key element to writing a good love triangle: the love interests need to be equals. They need to have had equal amounts of screen time and development and they need to have equal amounts of chemistry with the lead. It’s even better if the love interests have an established good relationship before the drama starts like they’re best friends or siblings to add more stakes to the conflict beyond just who the lead is going to choose. White Album 2 is a classic example of this and I think Watanare did a good job as well. Aohal Devil does a terrible job of it. We’ve had a volume to get attached to Ioka but Miu only really appeared in two or three scenes in the first volume and she has no chemistry with Aruha. It’s very clear from the start who Aruha will choose so there’s no tension and it’s just annoying.

The second half is a lot better and I liked how the Miu drama was resolved but it did feel rushed and I would have wanted a more gradual development. The climax was really good and there’s a lot of cool stuff with Ioka. It didn’t quite make up for the messy first half but it was satisfying.

It looks like we’ll be getting a third volume to deal with Aruha’s missing sister but I suspect it will end there. They could prolong the series by having a Rosy volume or introducing new heroines but I feel like 3 volumes would be a natural end for this series.

[ask-the-shorty-squad]

Heeee!

Yay! I made new friends!

Anyone who can make a funny remark about Miu tells us everything we need to know! Your definitly a great girl Yuki!

Yay! Thank you!

Oh hey! I like your pig tails! There curly and go well with the Kimono!

I know! There like two banana's! Shes such a fat gorilla!

Someone like you shouldn't have any rights to be a bully and call someone fat. And Gorillas are beautiful. Every animal is. Big or small. Round or stick figured. They're a living being too.

Stop being such a Know-It-All! Jeez! Your worse than Fuyuhiko!

Listen here Kokichi oma I now know everything about you after this conversation. Your a Cancer born on June 21st. Your a liar and your talent is the Ultimate supreme leader. You say your organization has over 10K members but really it only has ten including yourself. Your parents abandoned you at a dumb when you were a child. (No surprise there) and your organization only does harmless pranks which is no surprise. In your high-school days you went to Imperial capital's imperial high-school.

*Okay noted. Dont cross Yuki.*

Now dont be such a grump and be nice!

Holy crap.

She knows so much. So cool!

[the-remnants-of-hope]

Kaede smiles and sets the bag down on the counter, taking Me's hand and leading him over to Kokichi.

"Here, why don't I introduce you to everyone? This is Kokichi Ouma. He likes to play and have fun, but he's good at telling when somebody lies."

Kokichi gives them a gentle wave and a giggle. Then Kaede takes Me over to Rantaro.

"This one is Rantaro Amami. He's good at survivalist stuff, and he's totally big brother material. He had twelve sisters once!"

Rantaro winces at that tidbit, but nevertheless, displays a friendly smile.

"The depressed-looking one, that's Ryoma Hoshi. He loves to play tennis, and he's super good at it! Don't let the scowl fool you, he's friendly but chill."

She turns to Kirumi, and holds Me's hand a bit tighter to help him feel safe.

"That's Kirumi Tojo. She does most of the cooking and cleaning around here, but she can be a little rough around the edges."

Then she leads Me over to a girl in a yellow smock with a bright smile.

"This is Angie Yonaga. There's never a time I don't see her smiling. Even in her sleep, she smiles like the sun."

Angie gives a bright giggle and strikes a pose. Then Kaede motions to Tenko.

"That over there is Tenko Chabashira. She's as fierce and protective as they come, and she's a really good fighter. Don't worry, though, she won't hurt you."

Then Tenko does an excited motion as Kaede turns to a masked boy.

"That guy over there? That's Korekiyo Shinguji. He loves history, and won't skip any chance to tell you about it."

She pauses before pointing to a girl with some... ahem... questionable outfit choices.

"That girl is Miu Iruma! She's a brilliant inventor who can do anything if she's given some tools! She's so cool..."

Oh? Kaede seems a little attached to Miu~. Shaking off her blush, she then motions to a really tall boy with a bug carrier over his shoulder.

"That's Gonta Gokuhara. He really loves bugs and feels empathy for all creatures, big and small, even if most are afraid of them."

Gonta, true to her word, seems to be petting a butterfly's wing. Kaede chuckles, and turns to a boy wearing a very pretty jacket.

"He's Kaito Momota, or as he likes to call himself, 'Kaito Momota, Luminary Of The Stars'! Heh! He's loud, but he's pretty chill and very sweet to children, even if a bit awkward."

Kaito gives a motion where he mashes his fists together and shows a big smile and Kaede returns the smile, then motioning to a metallic boy.

"That one over there is K1-B0, or Kiibo. He's a little sensitive about being a robot, but he's friendly, nevertheless."

Kiibo blushes from the comment on being sensitive, but still awkwardly waves. Then Kaede turns toward a red-haired girl in a witch's hat.

"She's Himiko Yumeno, a skilled magician and she likes to believe she's a mage. Don't correct her, I think it helps her escape from reality sometimes..."

She then motions toward a boy with black and gray striped clothing, chuckling.

"That guy is Shuichi Saihara, our lead tracker. The detective, basically. I think he and Kokichi dated at one point."

Then she turns to a girl with blue hair, who gives a polite curtsy.

"That pretty girl is Tsumugi Shirogane, someone who loves to make clothes and is really great at disguising herself. I know she's also really playful."

She then points to a girl with red clothes and long twin-tails.

"And that is our beloved Maki Harukawa, a super good fighter, herself. And she's really sweet with kids, too!"

Promo: The Wasteland's Final Hopes

As you woke up one morning, you found yourself tucked underneath some structure in a... store of some kind, it appeared. You could hear a news broadcast from above you, although it was glitched out and faded, but you could make out a couple words. "Death", "despair", and "Monokuma", namely. There also seemed to be several groups addressed, some praised as heroes while others were called as oppressors.

As you crawled out from under the structure you were under, you found it to be a shelf with wheels, and on top of it was the television broadcasting the news. The woman speaking looked horribly disfigured, her eyes practically melting and purple patches of skin littering her dark face, some of her hair shaved and cut at unnatural angles. It wasn't that she was ugly, but you knew that whoever... or whatever had done this to her must have been big. And strong.

But as you backed away against the wall, a loud blaring sounded, and you knew you'd fucked up. Several darts began poking out of the wall as a screen turned on from an opposite corner of the room. A woman came over the screen with blonde hair and mismatching hairties holding up her pigtails, eyes blue as the sea, and familiar red and black clothing.

She was saying something, but the television's wiring was so mangled, it came out as garbled nonsense, leaving you to ponder your death just seconds before it happened.

...

That is... until it never came. All the lights in the building went out, including the screens, and a young woman approached you, extending a hand to you carefully.

"There. Cutting the power should do the trick." But that didn't stop her from pointing a revolver directly at your head, painfully obvious that the gun did, in fact, have bullets, and she wasn't playing around. "State your name, talent if you have one, and why you're here, and how you got here." A feisty one, isn't she?

What do you do?

Nagito, Kokichi and Gundham with a s/o who wears a mask

Desc; S/o is insecure of a large scar on her eye, so they cover it with a prosthetic mask. But someone snatches it off their face. >:(

Btw!!! If you have insecurities about past scars, remember that Nagito, Gundham and Kokichi will always love you no matter what! As well as the other characters from danganronpa >:3 remember to love yourself and all your scars, because you are truly beautiful! And you can’t say otherwise! ùwú

Warnings; tw; insults based off looks/scars, cussing, threatening, very very few sexual comments(there’s like 1)

Nagito

You were walking around the beach with Nagito, hand in hand. You two conversed about random topics, though Nagito mostly talked about hope obviously. As you two talked, you didn’t notice a certain pig-tailed girl make her way towards you. The both of you being too entranced by the other.

As you turned your head to see Hiyoko charging towards you, you were too slow to avoid her gremlin-like hands, Hiyoko was able to snatch your mask off. Your eyes widened in shock at the feeling of your mask being removed, but before you could even feel the air hit your face, Nagito acted quickly. 

He hastily brought you into a hug, gently pressing your face against his shoulder, shielding your scar from view. Personally, Nagito adored your scar, for he loved every part of you.

Despite all his countless compliments and sentiments, he knew how insecure you still were. So he did what he needed to do, for your sake. Feeling a warmth engulf your heart, you teared up at Nagito’s actions. You truly appreciated him.

You stood there in Nagito’s embrace, the embarrassment finally hitting you like a brick shortly after. Oh how you were glad Nagito was there. Nagito curled his arm protectively around your body, “Not cool, Hiyoko-san. What a terrible act of despair.” He shook his head and sighed from disappointment,

“Well it’s okay, your talent isn’t completely wasted. Because you can become a wonderful sacrifice for the other ultimates! Don’t you think?” Nagito spoke with sickly sweet tone, his words becoming louder and more crazed with time. He looked directly into Hiyoko’s panic-stricken irises with his swirled ones as he grinned.

“W-what are you saying? If you’re threatening m-me, I’ll tell the others!” Nagito nodded his head with an inappropriately cheerful smile, “Go ahead! Tell them what you did!” Nagito giggled maniacally, successfully scaring her away. She made a sound of frustration before skittering away like a cockroach. 

Hearing Hiyoko’s footsteps fade away, you slowly relaxed into Nagito’s protective embrace. Nagito slowly calmed down from his previous state as well, relieved that the rat was gone.

He didn’t let go of you until he realized what he was doing, “M-my hope! I’m so sorry, I know you probably didn’t want to hug trash like me-” He tried pulling away but you shoved his body back towards you. “... Thank you.” He let out a small squeak before hesitantly hugging you back. 

He brought his hands up to cup your face, seeing your face properly without your mask. Your eyes widened as you struggled to hide your face from his gaze. But before you could move away he kissed your scar multiple times, leaving you in a daze.

Your face got redder with every kiss he gave you, eventually he stopped right before your lips. “I love every single part of you, especially your scars, so don’t hide them from me.” And he leaned in.

Kokichi

You and Kokichi were playing hide & seek in the school—of course—after an abundant amount of pleading on Kokichi’s side. As soon as you heard Kokichi holler out a, “Ten!”

You started sprinting to the other side of the school; You see, you take hide & seek games very seriously. Well, you decided you’d take hide & seek games seriously ever since Kokichi said that, and I quote, “If you lose, you have to show me your face!”

Why did you take the bet, you ask? Because Kokichi also said, “But if I lose, I’ll wear a maid dress for a week!” And you needed to see him in that dress. So you ran like hell, on your way to the lockers in one of the classrooms. As you ran down the hall, you accidentally bumped into Miu. 

“Hey! Watch it, you piss stained deformed pig!” She yelled out, taking a step back, you looked at her with confusion and anger. “Bitch, excuse-” You cut yourself off as you felt her snatch your mask off your face. “W-what the hell!?”

You yelped as you stumbled back and covered your face with your hand, “Why w-would you do that?” You stuttered out, the vulnerability of your mask off hitting you like a truck. You looked to the ground, not being able to make eye contact with your assaulter, suddenly feeling anxious.

“Why wouldn’t I? I’m sure everyone has wanted to see that gross face beneath your mask! I’d be doing them a favour!” She threw her head back, hysterically laughing at you.

You wanted so bad to knock her off her high horse, but she was still holding on to your mask. Since you’ve become overly comfortable with your mask, you weren’t able to function properly without it.

So all you could utter out was a meek, “J-just give it back.” Because of your focus on your mask, you completely forgot about the hide & seek game. Thus, forgetting that Kokichi was probably trying to find you right now.

“Whaaaaaat~? Iruma-san got to see your face before me? S/o-chaaaaaan, that’s not fair.” You shot your head up, making eye contact with a pair of familiar purple eyes. Before quickly looking back down, too ashamed to reveal your face.

Miu’s eyes darted around the room to find the source of the noise, but she couldn't find where it came from. Then, Miu suddenly tensed up, feeling Kokichi’s tight grip on her shoulder.

“Hey, hey, why don’t I rip out your eyeballs so we can say you never saw anything?” Kokichi dug his fingers into her shoulder, eerily grinning up at her. Miu winced and tried to get away from him. Seeing this, Kokichi giggled, “Nishishi!” before leaning beside her ear, “...You have 5 seconds, whore.”

Kokichi’s grin grew impossibly larger, looking as if the edges of his mouth had been split. A lewd cry came out from Miu’s mouth before she freed herself from the boy’s grip. You both watched as she ran down the hall, clutching her groin. Did... did she get aroused from that?

You looked back down and watched Kokichi’s shoes as they slowly approached you. “Hmmm, my turn! My turn!” Kokichi gripped both your wrists, pulling them away from your face. Flinching away from his gaze, you expected him to make a disgusted face or push you away but instead he said,

“Oh c’mon, you don't even look that bad! Maaaaan, I thought you’d look scary. But instead you just look perfectly fuckable! Bummer.” Kokichi huffed out defeatedly, pretending not to notice your face that was becoming redder and redder with every second. “You can’t say things l-like that so e-easily!”

Kokichi smirked at your flustered state, before putting on an innocent facade, “Hey, why are you so nervous, huh? Is it because you like me?” You perked your head up slightly from his guess in panic, oh shit he knows. “Well? Answer the question, dummy!” He playfully leaned in closer to get a reaction out of you.

He tilted his head underneath yours, trying to get you to make eye contact with him. Not being able to avoid his gaze, you shyly looked at him. He grinned when he saw your eyes lock with his, content that you finally looked at him. You flushed underneath his stare, “Ohhh I see.” He exaggerated,

“So you are in love with me.” Before you could refute, Kokichi pecked you quickly on your lips, disallowing you from saying anything else. “W-wha?” Kokichi cackled to himself before running away, “Nishishi! Start counting, S/o-Chan~!” 

Gundham

 You were in the rocket punch market with Gundham, searching the aisles for freeze dried strawberries. You and Gundham wanted to get his hamsters a treat so they can, ‘rise and become the rulers of the island!‘ as the great prince of darkness said.

You looked through the candy aisle, searching for the dried fruit. While skimming your hand through the various plastic packages, you accidentally brushed your hand against Gundham’s. You both pulled away and flushed from the contact. 

You hid your blushing face in your mask, whilst he hid his in his scarf. You both apologized profusely to each other, “S-sorry! I wasn’t watching my hand and-” “S/o, you must’t apologize! It was me who was at fault.” You two kept bickering back and forth, before ultimately reaching a common ground. ‘It was the package’s fault.’ Hiyoko rolled her eyes at your disgustingly adorable ‘argument’.

You two went back to searching for the treat, stealing small glances from each other. God, you guys acted like an oblivious awkward teen couple. Hiyoko watched your dumbasses act like idiots and got sick of it, she just wanted her goddamn gummy bears.

She groaned before barging into your aisle, “You guys are so annoying! Ugh, can’t you and freak-face just go already?” You winced at the insult, feeling that deep pit of insecurity all over again. 

Hiyoko went up to you and smacked your mask off, “For fuck’s sake, why do you even like this nerd? They’re so ugly!” You scrambled to your knees to pick your mask back up. But before you could, she stepped on it.

You whimpered at the broken material, letting your hair cover your face like a curtain. You slowly stood up with one hand on your face, about to leave as Hiyoko said but Gundham quickly grabbed your wrist. 

He faced Hiyoko with a threatening aura surrounding him, “Puto vos esse molestissimos, vacca stulta.” Hiyoko looked at Gundham with scared confusion, “The fuck? A-are you cursing me?” Gundham looked at Hiyoko dead in the eyes before taking another breath, 

“Faciem durum cacantis habes, futue te ipsum!” Hiyoko slowly backed away, feeling chills run up her spine. “I just wanted some damn gummy bears!” Hiyoko wailed before turning on her heels and out the doors. 

Gundham turned to you, checking if you were okay. But instead, you stepped away from him. You didn’t want him to see your scar, you didn’t want him to think you were ugly. “Wait- I- My mask-” You choked up, feeling a panic attack bubble up from your chest.

Gundham looked at you with concern, it pained him to see you in such distress. Grabbing your shoulders, he spoke to you with a strong, confident voice, “S/o. You are the darkest light in my life, I adore every part of you. Your battle scars, your charisma, you. I love you.”

He moved your hair away from your face, and lightly kissed your scar. “Your scar proves how incredible you are, it proves you’ve fought the demons in hell! And that just makes you even more perfect.”

You smiled when you heard him call you perfect, unsure of when someone last called you that. You continued to cry harder, but instead of in pain, you cried from the overwhelming love you had for this man. 

sorry for taking long! and thank you for requesting :)

[brokenolivejar]

So I had a dream about this weird ass cat folk au -

Where like

The lore is wired as fuck because it came from my dream but like

Think of like-

Harumeno shinnaga oumota kiiruma goshi rantenko kirukaede but like himiko kiyo kaito kiibo gonta rantaro and kaede as the cat folk like- cats that turn human only when they're owners are around and like- they have 9 lives but like- yeah and turn into cats when others are around so only their significant other (mate in this case apparently) know of their more human like form like how they look like is that they have the cat ears and tail and paws but the rest is human thats what their human form is like-

How they were found in the situation with their owners-

Himiko was caught in a bear trap

Kiyo was found stuck dying in a thorn bush

Kaito and rantaro were found In a fucking pet shop

Gonta was hit by a truck then took in

Kiibo was stolen from a lab

Kaede was found thrown in a trash can

What is my brain thinking-

Maki an kokichi we're the first to learn about the cat folk then tenko then so on man

Kiyo got into an incident we're his jaw is badly damaged so he's super insecure about it and that's why he wears a mask but Angie loves him either way

Himiko has 6 lives left due to drowning twice and accidentally eating drugs that were left behind from a party

Kiyo still surprisingly has all 9 but is super damaged

Kaito got beaten to death by some horrible kids at a park so he has 8 lives

Kaede has 8 as well due to being stuck in a fox trap

Rantaro has 4 lives left due to him looking for his sisters and meeting his fate quite a few time and gave up when he found his family dead

Gonta has 8 due to the truck incident

Kiibo has 3 due to being a lab cat-

They also have undercover cat names-

Himiko is magic

Kiyo is thorns

Gonta is beetle

Kaede is melody

Kaito is star

Rantaro is taro

And the best one

Miu named him so his name is robot pussy-

Um when they're in human form they kinda don't wear much clothes but like they wear pants and bra(for the girls) and himiko has a cast over her left leg due to the bear trap they also wear the collars they've been given in their human form

Now for like the fluffy stuff the couples do wee

Maki always immediately curls up to himiko and pets her to get her purring because it soothes her whenever she's upset and they cuddle a lot

Angie secretly draws kiyo when he's not looking and shows him what she drew after she's done and he appreciates it and Angie likes to kiss him and call him handsome whenever he's built up enough confidence to remove is mask temporarily

Kirumi has an old piano that she doesn't use anymore so she lets kaede use it and kaede makes lullabies for kirumi when she's upset

Kaito and kokichi kinda act like dicks to each other but cuddle and kiss in the end

Gonta helps ryoma with anything follows him like a lost puppy unless he's distracted by an insect flying by whenever ryoma is cold he curls up against gonta

Rantaro and tenko- they're wholesome in a strange way- like at one point rantaro ranted to tenko about how his previous owner (who didn't know he was a cat folk btw) cut his fucking balls off and tenko was kinda like- so you're non binary- that's cool and rantaro wasn't mad he was kinda like you know what yeah ok cool rantaro is like a calming tool for tenko whenever she's super angry or hyper just him letting her pet him makes her instantly calmer

Miu was told not to take anything from the lab she was visiting but kiibo's pleas of freedom got to her and she stole him so he's extremely loyal to her and often help Miu whenever she's like building something also reminds her to eat and drink and get proper sleep

Can they reproduce-

Biology speaking yes- do they have to no do they want to no in a sense only the hetero ones would be able to-

Anyways that au all happened in a dream I had like three times in a row-

[drsweetzscenarios]

Kiibo, Ryoma, and Kokichi (Seperately) With a fem! Ultimate Neko.

Wow! My first request! I hope you like this, anon! I had a lot of fun with this request! Anyway happy reading! I couldn’t really think of anything for Ryoma so he just gets a lil extra headcanons. And I may or may not have been a lil sappy for Kokichi’s but I overall enjoyed fulfilling this request!

Keebo, Ryoma, and Kokichi with a Fem!Ultimate Neko!S/O

Keebo

This was a “love at first sight” kind of deal

You two were the only non-human people in the class!

I headcanon that whenever Kiibo experiences something new, he watches a bunch of anime or reality tv shows to prepare for the moment itself.

If TV told him anything people like you had to stick together!

On the plus side, you were realllllllllllly pretty so it was only natural he introduced himself to you!

I mean he knows how to play it cool!

So-

“Hello! I am K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot! But please, address me as Kiibo!" He waved to you, all the while his internal fans were cooling himself down.You flinched, ears and tail pricked up before calming down. “Oh! My apologies! Did I startle you?” Did he already screw up??“Oh no, it’s alright! Kiibo-Kun, It happens!” Kiibo sighed internally. THANK GOD HE DIDN’T SCREW UP IN FRONT OF A PRETTY GIRL!

“Oh, where are my manners? I’m (Y/N) (L/N)! The Ultimate Neko! Nice to meetcha!” You smiled cutely, your fangs showing slightly. A Neko? What’s that? And then he looked it up…He then turned red. “O-oh! Tha-That’s cool!” He may or may not have come across a very “informative” source.

Thank you internet!

Now Kiibo doesn’t know how to talk to you!

Yay!

But after months of encouragement from Kaede, Kaito, Maki, Shuichi, Miu, and Kokichi Kokichi just threatened to prank him for the rest of his days as if he wasn’t going to already

He finally confessed!

And it all went uphill from there.

When people make remarks about you, you can expect a “HEY! THATS NEKOPHOBIC!” from Kiibo almost immediately after they said that.

He started watching a lot of animes with nekos in them recommended by Tsumugi since he was wayyyyyyyyyy too embarrassed to ask you about it.

Cuddle time is the absolute best for you two.

WHY ARE YOU SO WARM??

KIIBO WANTS THAT

You two were cuddling and thanks to your warmth, you took care of both of your needs for warmth.

“Sweetie...Can I tell you something?” You wrapped your tail around him and your ears were pinned to your head. You were clearly drowsy. “Yes, (Y/N)?” He wasn’t really sure for a nickname and couldn’t think of a good one so he just calls you by your name with no honorifics. ”Just know I love you, alright? No matter what..” and then you were about to fall asleep but then you noticed something.

Kiibo had shut down.

His face was bright red and he shut down.

You killed him.

Thanks a lot (Y/N) >:(

Ryoma

He went to his usual place for cats, that one alleyway he always went when he needed to breathe after a long day.

The first day at Hope’s Peak Academy is nerve-wracking.

Even the calmest person would agree so

Besides, he was a criminal

Everyone would either avoid or question him

As he rounded the corner, he saw someone

He didn’t get a good look but-

He knew they wouldn’t want to get involved with a criminal.

So he left, thinking that they didn’t notice him

Oh how wrong he was.

“Hey! You’re that guy!” Ryoma just looked over to you, internally scanning your appearance. “Yup, but I don’t think you’d like to associate yourself with me so bye” He was about to walk off before you interrupted “Wha?? I have no idea what you’re talking about?” You flicked your tail quizzingly. ”I saw you the other day! Were you going to visit the cats?” Your head tilted slightly.

”Do you like cats? Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! I’m the Ultimate Neko, (Y/N) (L/N)!” Too bright, he thought. “And you are?” Your wide eyes blinked. "Ryoma Hoshi, the man called the Ultimate Tennis Pro... no longer exists. I'm nothing more than his empty shell." “Huh? Well maybe if we try hard enough we can make that empty shell not so empty!”

After that you two were attached to the hip

You asked him out since Ryoma being Ryoma didn’t expect you to return his feelings so he kept quiet.

There is already plenty people scared of him so you don’t need to worry about anyone commenting on your appearance.

Cuddles?

Daily Cuddles.

This relationship is so wholesome-

I swear-

You both depend on each other so much-

You are each other’s comfort

Home.

Etc.-

And finally

FINALLY

Ryoma doesn’t feel like a criminal

Kokichi

One of his D.I.C.E. members was on a call the other day

Kokichi, being curious, may have over heard a conversation about the caller going to Hope’s Peak and being nervous, slightly nervous?

Though the caller’s deadpan tone didn’t really help with conveying that...

So the caller is going to be in his year :o

This will be very interesting!

Also the D.I.C.E. member seems to be calling you ‘kitty-chan’ or ‘neko-san’ or something...

Probably a nickname thing!

"I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader!" You blinked. Then blinked again. ”I... didn’t ask...” You then looked back to the window. Her voice is … familiar... He thought.

“Well, I'm just the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That's all. I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. My organization has over 10,000 members! Or not!" You glanced at him as your tail brushed against his shoes. “So I’ve heard...” you patted his head. You knew who he was. Your childhood friend worked for him. Your friend always talked about D.I.C.E. so they of course talked about their leader.

“What about you?” “Oh.. I’m the Ultimate Neko, (Y/N) (L/N). Nothin’ special”

And so began your friendship began

Well not really it was more like Kokichi’s questioning and in turn you sorta followed him around.

Then you became closer and *BOOM* you started dating each other

Your D.I.C.E. member friend gave him the “talk” and he had the ok to continue dating you.

Whenever someone dares to make a negative remark about your appearance, they get the same treatment that Miu does for the rest of their life

He asks you annoying questions sometimes that are meant to tease but you know that it is like I said just teasing so you don’t respond.

You don’t really smile or laugh at all, but Kokichi knows you still feel.

You just don’t express easily.

It was cuddle time after a long day of Kokichi’s pranking and school. Kokichi no matter how tall you are is the big spoon and he’s teasing you.

“Who knew your ears were so fluffy, cutie cat-chan?” He continued to pet your ears softly and gently. He snickered, his eyes closed but once he opened them... He saw something he always dreamed of seeing.

Your smile... It was happy, cheerful yet it was soft. He always wanted to see it but. He never thought it would look this...perfect and so you. One of the softest people he knew.

“So pretty...”

“What was that?” “N-nothing!” You had heard Kokichi loud and clear. Plus he was really flustered. First time you ever saw him like that. So today was a great day for the both of you.

[potatotrash0]

Your DR magic AU, hand it over 🤲

Okay I have two other anons and I’m just gonna split the character ideas among the three asks. I don’t quite have a plot thought out, and most of these characters’ concepts have only existed in my head up until now...bare with me skdjksjfkd

Mm I talked about them briefly in Prom’s ask? But here’s a more in-depth thing of the THH fighting styles.

Makoto is a mage-type. (I used fighter, support, and mage to describe the various adventurer types it’s temporary just roll with it) Again, he can’t really hold magic for very long? He’s got a large mana reserve but it’s hard to activate and harder to control, so he’s currently working on mastering the little bullets. In the future, I imagine large barrages of bullets would sort of circle around him like they would in the barrel of a gun.

He probably got in accidentally? I’m not entirely sure about this, but I think there’s an entrance exam for Reserve Courses and he was probably forced in on Komaru’s behalf for some reason.

He was basically running the entire time until the very end when he panicked and suddenly the entire field was wiped clean from him waving his arm. HPA saw that, decided that he was worth training, and put him into the Main Course. He doesn’t feel very good about getting in that way, but HPA isn’t exactly empathetic like he is. Again this is like one of three ways I think he could’ve gotten in with the rest of the cast because I’m indecisive skdjsjf

Kyoko is another mage-type, in general the Main Gangs of each game have various themes. THH’s trio has a magic theme, they all use magic. She doesn’t use a weapon, though I’m thinking her gloves act as a limiter of sorts?

As a general rule, more mana means less control, and being half-demon gives her a lot of it. Her gloves help her regulate her mana output so that she doesn’t use too much of it when attacking and tire herself out. Later in the timeline, I imagine there might be a scene where she takes them off and fights off some enemies to buy the rest of the class time to escape something? She would get trapped in the process, but I think this would happen after she’s worked with Makoto for a while and she would trust him enough to believe he would come back for her if she didn’t return.

Oh this isn’t related to her fighting style but on the topic of her being half-demon, that’s mainly because I thought it was boring for everyone to be human and I’m a big sucker for fantasy species so yeah. She’s a cambion.

She has purple-tinted skin, horns that curl up and are fairly close to her head, a thin pointed tail, pointed ears, her pupils are slitted, she’s got carnivore-style teeth, her nails are longer and sharper by default. Whenever she uses the full extent of her magic, her scleras turn dark purple and her irises turn white. Oh yeah her scars came from an accident she had when she was young where her magic got out of control and burned her hands. Her mom’s the demon by the way, for no particular reason, I just thought that the Kirigiris would stay human in this and I don’t know anything about her mom’s side of the family.

I just realized I never said Makoto’s race skdjks he’s human!! He and Komaru just happen to be a special case and have a lot of mana. Most other humans in this AU aren’t so lucky. (cough hinata cough cough)

Byakuya, again, uses magic. He’s the only one who uses a weapon in the Trio, he uses a staff specially made by the Togami family. He also knows how to use a sword and a bow.

I haven’t put too much thought into him, but I know for a fact that his adventuring outfit would have a big sweeping cape later in the timeline. In the beginning though, he just has a stupid expensive suit. The cape comes in later as he, Kyoko, and Makoto start to group up more and more.

I’ve decided that adventurers in this AU group up just as often as they go solo, and while Byakuya would initially be solo, he would deem Makoto and Kyoko strong enough to work with whenever they’re taking on a difficult job.

Groups would change to have matching designs the longer they’re partnered up, and capes/cloaks happen to be the THH Trio’s Thing, as in all three of them would have a cape/cloak of some sort. Byakuya because he’s pretentious, Makoto because he thinks it looks cool, and Kyoko because she uses the cloak for practical reasons like storing things and keeping a low profile when needed. Oh and Byakuya’s bloodline is of royal elven descent, their business is selling spellbooks, runestones, potions, reagents, any magical item you could think of.

Sayaka is a half-siren mage! She mostly uses charm and illusionary magic, as well as healing so that she can support her allies. Later on, she might learn water magic so she can actually deal damage as well. I haven’t decided on her weapon of choice, perhaps she uses a lyre or casts spells from a book. I’m also debating having her learn hand-to-hand combat instead of water magic?

I just like the idea of someone coming up and trying to challenge her, thinking they’ll beat her easily, and barely getting a hit in before she kicks their legs out from under them and tosses them over her shoulder like they weigh nothing. She deserves to take out people twice her size and be menacing, as a treat for the amount of disrespect she gets in the fandom. And I want her to take Leon down a peg because he definitely acts a little like a cocky frat boy sometimes.

Speaking of Leon, we’ve got our first fighter-type!!! I could have him use a baseball bat but that’s boring so I’m thinking he might utilize items as well as a weapon? Bombs or grenades that look like a baseball and explode on impact, baseballs that ignite when thrown and act as fire balls. Alas, I don’t think about him much so this is all just me throwing ideas to see what sticks.

Whatever the case, the main thing I know would happen is that he frequently gets help from Kazuichi and Miu because he just cannot for the life of him stop breaking his equipment. He’s reckless and rushes into battle and now that he doesn’t have Kanon to stop him from setting stuff on fire all the time, he gets detention a lot. (And no she isn’t into him like in canon, I refuse to acknowledge that she ever was.)

Chihiro......they can’t fight djfjsjfjjf. They specialize in making tech and weapons, and in the beginning, would mainly use robots that they programmed to support their allies. Though, they do end up training with Mondo, Sakura, and Aoi to help them become better at combat, and eventually they join everyone else on the front lines as a ranged fighter/support type.

Also, the robots would kinda follow them around like pets. Cute little guys that can also shoot lasers. The robots are powered by mana crystals and each one has a different personality and magic type! Sometimes they follow around different people, the electric one took a liking to Mondo and you’ll see it floating around while he works out. They’re buds.

On the topic of Mondo, he’s another fighter-type! He’s more hand-to-hand combat. A controlled berserker, if you will. Probably started out fighting guys in his hometown and progressed to clearing out monsters when Daiya got concerned about his temper? Perhaps. Maybe. I do not think about Daiya I apologize.

Oh wait hold on. I’m looking at his character art and he’s got a hammer.........it’s decided he uses a warhammer, the biggest one they’ve got, and it’s probably a mana-based weapon. Specifically electric. He and that lil robot wipe the battlefield with their opponents >:D

Taka is probably a fighter-type? I can’t for the life of me find where I read this, but apparently he’s really good at self-defense so I imagine he does hand-to-hand combat as well as sword-fighting for the Noble Paladin Aesthetic.

Hifumi was originally a mage-type, but upon second thought, I’m making him a support-type who uses items and potions and stuff! I like the idea of him making fun little bottles and potions themed after his favorite animes and mangas..........he also definitely helped everyone design their adventurer outfits. He’s the only reason that Makoto’s outfit isn’t boring as hell.

Celeste is, of course, a mage-type. She’s Miss Lolita of course I have to make her an ethereal magic user alright also I love her and I love mages let me have this skfjdkjf. As for her weapon, my first thought was her having playing cards that she throws HxH style?

Or she could summon goons to fight for her, playing into the whole loyal servant dream she has. They would be vaguely themed after the cards, so there would be a jack, king, queen, and joker, all of different magic types depending on the suit of the card she throws. Electric for a spade, fire for a heart, ice for a diamond, something along those lines.

I’m also considering having her little...finger armor thing? I’m thinking of having that cross into her magic, where she attacks with claw-like things formed out of mana. Of course she could also just. Use the cards to cast spells directly skdjksjfkhf

Sakura is definitely a fighter-type. Again, hand-to-hand style, but I imagine she’s more controlled and strategic than Mondo. I can’t see her using a weapon, so I guess she’s like one of the only characters to fight exclusively with fists.

Mukuro’s a ranged fighter-type, but she can also do melee. She uses magic-based guns, ones that shoot mana infused bullets. They have a variety of effects depending on the type of bullet and magic. (I’m not a gun person so take this with a grain of salt.)

Bullets that break apart might be laced with electric magic so that they can shock a target from several points, or fire magic if she’s aiming to start a fire quickly. Exploding bullets are usually used with fire magic, but she might switch to ice if she wants to create a barrage of ice shards for...some reason, I don’t know. There’s more combinations I could probably make, but I’m. Not here to spend an hour researching guns. Not right now at least, who knows what I’ll want info on in the future.

Mmmmmm I’m starting to lose patience here so forgive me for the shorter explanations. I might throw in a fun fact about them for ✨ flavor ✨

Junko’s a fighter/mage-type! She uses a scythe and laces the blade with magic. She could combine it with fire magic to create a flaming scythe and go nuts with it, or she could just channel general mana and slam the blade into the ground to create a big crack in the ground.

There’s about an 80% chance she gets several weapons later in the timeline. Her scythe, a spear, possibly a gun. Monokuma probably exists, I like to think Junko ran into a smarter monster and tamed it and kept it as a slightly feral pet.

Also, yes, she’s still a big adrenaline junkie who gets off on despair. If you see her fighting things she knows are out of her league, mind your business.....actually, call someone to help before she gets herself killed. Please.

I haven’t decided what Aoi will be just yet? I’m veering towards fighter/mage-type, she could use water magic and maybe a leg-based fighting style. Possibly judo or taekwondo. I.....do not have any ideas for her. However I do know that she and Sakura would have a bunch of combo moves together dkfjkejfkdjjd

Toko is a mage-type! She probably uses a book to cast spells from. Or just uses her hands. She would fight ranged, I don’t think she’d want to be up in the action. Too much stress for her, y’know? I

As for Syo, she fight differently than Toko! She technically uses dual swords, but the swords can also connect to create a giant pair of scissors. Again, this is just sort of a fun character thing, but she gets to hate Byakuya in this AU. They have arguments and get on each other’s nerves a lot, but I think the rest of the class usually separates them before anything serious happens.

At some point after Toko befriends Komaru, I like to think that Syo gets a proper fight scene with Byakuya where she rips into him. I don’t think Toko would want to hurt anyone though, even him, so Syo would probably leave him with a few minor cuts at most.

Afterwards, I think Byakuya would quiet down with the insults with Naegi and Kyoko’s requests. (Well. Naegi asked him to try and be nicer because he was worried that they might fight again. Kyoko just bluntly told him that he needed to stop being a jerk and start considering everyone else’s feelings.)

Skfksjfkdh ah. I also like to think Komaru and Toko were initially partnered up by HPA for a job. They were assigned to deal with a couple of school kids wreaking havoc on a nearby city with some monsters they semi-tamed?

But after finishing the job, they decided to partner up permanently on their own. They probably have a few combo moves that Komaru came up with, Toko tweaked them to make them actually possible with their skill set and weapons.

Hiro is...possibly a mage/support-type? He’s probably a bit cowardly and freaks out when on the front lines, but he can use a crystal ball to attack from afar. I’m also considering giving him tarot cards so that he can toss them and attack from several points at once?

Or the ball could shatter at some point during the story and he could just roll with it and spread the shards out during battle to attack from several points at once. They could also be used to create a magic cage of sorts, like electric fence but only electricity.

Okay that’s everybody oh my god. I have plenty more stuff about this au, this isn’t even half of it trust me lmao. I’m sorry about this being so long I didn’t realize it’d be this wordy!!!!!

An Anthropologist and a Pianist walk into a School

Oumota Week 2019 - Day 2: Talent Swap / Monster AU 

Description: The Ultimate Anthropologist, Kaito Momota, wants to make quick work of getting to know everything about his classmates, but a certain Pianist seems to be making that troublesome.  Word Count: 1719

Read on AO3 here

“So, you’re a pianist? That’s quite a profession to get into, lots of glory and greatness in being a musician! Who would you say inspired you?”

Kaito barely wastes a moment after introducing himself and jumps straight into questions. He’s already had a long discussion with Kaede about her inventions and Rantaro about his organization, and Kokichi happens to be hovering when he finishes.

“You cut right to it, huh. Well of course the greats, Beethoven, Wagner, a bit of Handel gives you a good handle on it.”

“So you’re into classical stylings? Are they hard to learn? What about your teacher?” Kaito talks a mile a minute, quickly committing the names to memory. Sure music isn’t his expertise, but he knows the big names. Symphonies that inspired others, and ones inspired by others.

“Oh my teacher’s a real gem, but he’s so strict, there was one time I got one note wrong in Beethoven’s 10th Symphony, and he made me play the entire thing backwards from that note and THEN start over. My poor fingers!”

“Oh cool, you must be really skilled then! Sure must have been a pain, that’s crazy punishment for a mistake! Did it even sound good?” Kaito looks up, his face genuinely excited.

Kokichi pauses before grinning and continuing.

“...well of COURSE it still sounded good, I am the Ultimate Pianist after all.”

“With training like that, can you compose? Do you improvise? Or after that rigorous training are you forever bound to the classics? Would it feel wrong to play something modern, or do you like the jazz era too?”

“Wow Momota-chan, how dare you speak of jazz in my presence. I do not play that filth, only the best for my hands!”

“Ah… okay, well, then what made you keep at it? You’re inspired by the classics and your teacher was harsh, but there’s not much for those outside of concerts. Are those what you play for?”

“Silly Momota-chan, of course it’s about the audience. The audience is always who matters when you play music, because only they can hear what you really want to say with it! You really ask a lot of questions, ya know? Are you sure you’re an anthropologist and not Ultimate Journalist? Ultimate TV Show Host? Ultimate Cop? Hmmm?”

“Hey I know a thing or two about audiences, but I’m still an anthropologist, don’t you forget it! Been on lecturing tours at universities all over to show what I’ve put together. I bet those aren’t too different from touring concerts.”

Kokichi laughs and continues to poke. The interview devolves into defenses, Kaito’s illustrious experience and credentials taking the spotlight and questions forgotten. Soon enough they part and he’s off to interview another classmate. An anthropologist’s work is never done as long as there are people to learn from!

But that was hardly the end of what he heard from Ouma that day. You’d think a musician would be more considerate about the volume of their voice.

---

During lunch the elegant cosplayer approaches the pianist, poise exquisite. He seems to consider the boy’s clothes before posing a question.

“So, do you wear the classic tails and tie when you perform, Ouma-kun?”

“Oh yes all the classics. The tie, tails, knuckles, sonic-”

“I’m sorry the-”

“Gotta go fast, Shinguji-kun! You know that one right? Ever worn a mascot costume? Huh?”

After a moment of awkward silence to Ouma’s exclamations Korekiyo excused himself. Kaito, also in the dining hall figured that… could be a way he could show interest in the cosplaying talent. Maybe. But from his interview he knew mascots and simple designs were the farthest from what the cosplayer’s actual interest was.

---

During an argument about her tastes, it isn’t long before the artist tries to push back on the other art talent in the room, and prove herself more cultured.

“Well, I bet you don’t have any more recent musical influences hmm? All long dead men, who’s music is gathering dust. A real artist has to live in the now,” Tenko huffs.

“Oh but I love to stay current! Why just last month I attended a very inspiring concert.”

“Oh really? Tenko would like to know who!”

“Have you, my dear, heard the musical stylings of the Wiggles?”

The jazz hands are met with a nose thrust in the air as Tenko turns heel to leave. Kokichi calls something about artist temperaments after her, to which her heels in her exit from the courtyard clack a bit louder and angrier, like little daggers stabbing the pavement.

Possibly artistic differences? Competitive sort of field? Kaito isn’t sure he’s got a good enough grasp of Tenko’s stance on it all yet to judge.

---

This time the sound of a strange song with no tempo played obnoxiously that caught his attention, and the anthropologist stops in the doorway to look into a classroom.

“Why do you keep playing that thing? I thought you were a piano man, or something.”

To the astronaut who was pointing at the kazoo in his mouth, Kokichi holds it out with some flare.

“The kazoo, which we in the music industry like to call the tongue piano, is a very technical instrument to get right, but if you listen closely you can hear the nuances of a master, c’mon lean in.”

A sharp sound, a spray of spit and a string of profanities later, Miu storms out muttering about getting that key wiggling twink back while Kokichi laughs himself breathless. Kaito stumbles out of her way, his face pinched into a frown as he glances back at the classroom.

Perhaps this called for a follow-up interview.

---

Kaito returns from the library, fists clenched, looking around. Eventually he spots Kokichi, snapping his suspenders and chatting away at the magician, Shuichi, backed into the corner with something between fear and confusion on his face. His top hat is precariously close to tipping off his face while he pushes against the wall.

“Hey Ouma, I wanted to ask you some more questions!”

The pianist turns, tilting his head to the side, face blank for a moment before a cheshire grin spreads across it.

“Momota-chan! Of course, of course. Want to hear more from the master, couldn’t resist, I get it. Well I have plenty of time! Saihara-chan here won’t tell me the ritual he cast to get so powerful because I’m not a wizard like him! Maybe your interrogation will work!”

Kaito hesitates a moment. Wizard? Isn’t Shuichi a magician? “Ah, no I just have questions for you, not Saihara.”

That’s all it takes for Shuichi to take his chance to dart behind Kokichi and leave the room in a run. Neither of them have ever seen the kid move that fast. They are left alone.

“Right, so I just wanted to check a few things with you. You said Beethoven, Wagner, and Handel were your inspiration?”

“Why Momota-chan, were your ears taking a vacation? Yep! Those are my favourite piano composers! And I won’t repeat it again, so you better listen!”

“And when you messed up in Beethoven’s 10th Symphony your teacher made you play it backwards?”

Kokchi flutters his fingers in front of him dramatically. “Back and then front again, like a puppet!”

“And you despise jazz?”

Kokichi gags. “Won’t touch the stuff!”

Then without missing a beat, Kaito grins and asks a new question.

“So your entire interview with me was bullshit, huh?”

Kokichi scoffs and crosses his arms in front of his chest. “My, my, Momota-chan, what nerve you have to tell a musician he doesn’t know his own taste! Next I’ll be telling you about anthropology journals or whatever boring things you are inspired by!”

Kaito sighs and pulls a book out of his bag and flips it open, citing pages as he talks. “Wagner was a terrible pianist, and while he did write some pieces for the piano, apparently they pale in comparison to most other composers of his time. Beethoven only wrote 9 symphonies, so whether you can play one backwards or not you should have corrected the number when I repeated 10th back at you. And you say you dislike jazz but that’s the beat and style you’ve been playing on your kazoo all day.” He claps the book shut with a satisfied smirk on his face.

There’s silence between them for an uncomfortable moment, until Kokichi puts his arms back lazily behind his head and smiles.

“Wow, Momota-chan’s such a nerd.”

Kaito’s smirk drops and indignance rushes onto it, red and unready for its turn.

“Wh- No I’m not! How is finding out a liar nerdy? You’ve been messing with people all day I had to fact check, I-”

“Ohhh, not a nerd, my mistake, a stalker! Wow, I haven’t had one of those since that one time at one of my concerts when this guy grabbed me by my tails and-”

“Ouma, I don’t want to hear another story, I want to hear about you!” Kaito may have shouted it a touch louder than planned, as Kokichi’s tale about his tails abruptly cuts off.

“Why?”

“What? What do you mean ‘why’?”

“Momota-chan can ask questions, but he can’t answer them? Why don’t you want to hear a story. Stories are much more fun! Stories about hedgehogs, teachers, fun kid shows, wizards, and strange instruments. Why wouldn’t that be what anyone wants to hear? It only matters if you like what you hear, afterall.”

“I don’t care if it’s what I would like if it’s not about you. What’s the point in getting to know someone that way?”

“I don’t know, maybe you should tell me, you’re the one studying humans, and they tell some pretty stories when there’s nothing very pretty at all.”

Kokichi smirks and starts to walk out of the room. He’s almost out when Kaito says something to himself, quietly, but Kokichi’s trained ears hear it clearly.

“So you weren’t lying about that then.”

Kokichi turns, raising a brow. “What do you think was true, then, oh Ultimate Questioner?”

“That it’s all about the audience. You change your tune based on who’s listening, and if what you want them to hear? Then I wonder what your audience when you actually play is like.”

Kokichi frowns for a moment and continues walking out, no reply ready.

[end note]

Hope you guys enjoyed a taste of the dumb talent swap I’ve been nursing in headcanons for ages hahah <3 As a bonus, about their designs, some fun details. Kokichi tucks his hair behind his ears so he can better catch what people are saying quietly, and Kaito ended up wrecking his eyes and needing glasses from trying to read things in dark places on expeditions after dark or before the crew would set up. For @oumota-events week!

[kokichi-and-co-imagine-blog]

Can you please do scenario where the V3 cast gets drunk and Kiibo and Kirumi have to babysit them while they’re all drunk?

That's a little difficult for a few reasons, but I'll try my hand at it (in list form because doing entire casts is getting to be a little much for the other mods.)

Kiibo and Kirumi are Glad They Don't Drink

(NOTE:This cannot take place during canon V3 for the simple fact that: the situation would make it more depressing and hard to write.)

-Nobody is sure how it started

-most stopped caring really

-Everyone was having fun celebrating high marks for their exams

-There was a punchbowl involved

-Kirumi didn't drink anything because she tends not to drink while in the company of many other people

-Kiibo is an android so... You know.

-Kirumi suspects Kokichi and Miu of spiking the punch

-Either way, now they had 14 drunk students to deal with.

-Gonta was easy to to make fall asleep, Kirumi was able to make the poor sweetie fall asleep on the floor with a simple little song and running her gloved fingers through his hair

-Korekiyo, Rantaro, Maki, and Tsumugi were the most together. Kiibo could handle getting them to just stay put and not do too much.

-Maki was just giggling and hiccuping at Korekiyo and his unzipped mask

-Rantaro had a dizzy Tsumugi laying her head on his lap, holding back her hair in case she threw up

-Kokichi was daring Kaito to swing from a hanging light like space Tarzan

-Kirumi wasn't having that

-She promptly threw Kokichi over her shoulder and marched him to a sink where she blotted his face with some cool water and tied a few of his straight jacket ties together making him unable to move his arms or walk, but he could easily stand

-Angie was trying to take her (few) clothes off and said something like Kami-sama was telling her to start some kind of ritual

-Kirumi tossed a blanket over her and told her that it was time to go to sleep

-Angie leaned into Kirumi and said "Oh okayyyyy, Kami-sama understaaaands~"

-Without missing a beat she too fell asleep

-Kaito on the other hand was boasting about being the best astronaut this world had ever seen, and tried to show off his strength by bench pressing a chair or (attempting to) throw a desk

-He just kinda burned himself out, passing out on a desk he wanted to do a handstand on

-Ryoma was still slamming back punch like it was water

-At least until he was locked in a closet with a phone playing a 6 hour compilation of cat videos. Kiibo was proud of that idea

-Kaede and Shuichi were taking care of each other, saying sweet and cute things to one another

-Kaede liked to play ragtime when she was drunk, who knew?

-Shuichi was just entranced by her, more than usual

-Tenko was blubbering into an incoherent Himiko, saying how she was so cute and small or something like that.

-Kirumi gently knocked Tenko out, and put Himiko on the couch with Rantaro to look after too

-Miu was trying to dare people to kiss her or anything they wanted, but the moment Kiibo said sure she immediately turned tail and said no. She talked an even bigger game when she was drunk.

-Kirumi and Kiibo made sure to have a nice breakfast ready the next day for the hungover class

Right-o, so now that I’m back to where I left this, considerations before proceeding into new grounds:

God damn this manga is horny. It’s not like I forgot about it, but it’s easier to notice more subtle things about the mangaka’s shameless self-indulgences with a pair of older eyes.

As far as shonen protags go, Kenichi is pretty alright. It’s definitely the rest of the cast that makes it a great trip (as if this was anything new with JP media), but Kenichi doesn’t detract from it, unlike other protrags, if you feel me.

Miu can fucking piss off, though, I still can’t stand her. I can stand her less now than I did before, if anything. I don’t throw this term around too much, but that’s a bona fide Mary Sue if I ever had the displeasure of meeting one. Bizarre, too, given the rest of the cast, you know, is charming and doesn’t make me want to beat the shit out of my own cranium with a taxidermy beaver.

Siegfried rocked when I was a teen and Siegfried still rocks now.

Very much a middle ground between hardline martial arts manga (Kengan Ashura) and faux martial arts manga that are simply fantasy combat manga with a martial arts flavor (fuckin’ 80% of the damn genre), leaning more towards hardline but never forgetting it is, indeed, shonen. It doesn’t ever devolve into ki blasts and easy cop-outs, and in fact, remains a fun shonen ride that definitely grows the beard as it goes, sans a few things that are sadly too essential to the core of the manga to hope for their correction (ie: Miu), and you can see why it lasted 583 freaking chapters (not counting those of the first Kenichi manga -- yes, there is actually a first Kenichi manga, this one is the second). A nice mix of very meticulous research on martial arts done by the mangaka with a healthy dose of shonen, basically.

I’m not 100% in love with how this handles tension, though. Things are way too convenient most of the time. Too convenient. You Were Never In Any Danger, Kenichi, As A Master Was Watching In The Distance. Yes, Masters never interrupt a fight between disciples, but it sort of dampens any sort of tension when time and time again, there really wasn’t any danger. It takes around 350 chapters for the mangaka to actually step away from this, an unacceptably long amount of time, but thankfully, since it’s a always charming shonen first, it works out in an “I guess” kinda way, in that you’re better off focusing on the parts that are done right.

God do I fucking hate Miu.

Man do I fucking love Siegfried.

Mangaka gets lazy about some fights, and they become these CLASHES of special effects that say “an intense superhuman fight is going on!” but ehhhh don’t like that, I like to see the actual blows. Kengan Ashura spoiled me.

BIG props to the mangaka for sticking to the cast. Ukita, for example, is exactly the kind of early game big mook dude that you’d think would get put on a bus at the start of the second arc and never be seen again. He absolutely sticks for the long ride and even gets some really nice character development. It didn’t fall into this hole that MA manga (and shonen, fuck) tends to trip into most of the time: Oversaturation of new characters as the new arcs arrive (you ever read Fairy Tail? Don’t) while putting perfectly cool and useful old ones out of focus (YOU EVER READ FAIRY TDON’T), mangaka has stuck to his guns and his initial cast of swashbucklers and we have ALL benefited from this. I couldn’t live in a world in which this manga would deprive me from seeing Takeda, Ukita and Siegfried ever again.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with it! Yeah it’s got its flaws (ie: Miu) but whatever dude it’s fucking fun and good in many other regards.

Really could use being less horny because by the 500th blatant Miu ass shot I’m already rolling my eyes like yes yes you want to bone your shitty Mary Sue can we please get going already, but really, it makes up for it in other ways (Ukita and Chikage’s dynamic? Gold).

So yeah with that said let’s do that baseball and tread into NEW TERRITORY.

[askfriskandcompany]

It Continues...

Who will fall victim today? Let’s find out...

They’re all really getting into the roleplaying aspect. Alphys even dramatically pretends to have night terrors. It’s nice to see that everyone can cooperate.

Jason even gives an oscar-worthy performance as his mom trips into a small ditch by accident and “dies”. His cries of distress alert a nearby mountie and they have to explain that they’re just goofing off in the woods and nobody is actually hurt.

He actually starts a campfire with twigs like the good lil’ boy scout he is.

Roleplaying takes yet another victim. Chara confesses to the cruel games they played with Aidrian and is so disgusted with themself that they tell Asriel to put them down. “I’m too far gone Asriel... You’ve got to stop me... Before I hurt you t-” Asriel bonks them on the head with a stick immediately. “Wow Asriel. Pretty quick to kill me off.” “YOU TOLD ME TO!” he whimpers.

Everyone gets more awkward and the two decide to stop the scene before it gets too real.

Nicecream guy offers to share his campfire but Mettaton refuses on the grounds of “It’s more dramatic this way”

“Oh by the way dad I set a snare trap over there so be careful,” says Sans to his dad. “Over where?” says Gaster as he steps right in it.

Lots of friendliness and cooperation happening on the first night.

Undyne complains about the heat. Miu dumps a bucket of water on her.

And I saw all the nice snacks at the sponsor’s picnic table and forfeited so that I could get in on that.

I then went and put a pretty bandaid on Freja’s tail and she said “Thanks” probably just to be polite.

It’s unclear if he’s roleplaying or not.

Nicecream Guy’s lil’ campfire was starting to go out.

HEY THAT’S MY CAVE. GET YOUR OWN.

What a pleasant time.

Maverick cornered the four of them, and rather than let him get any of them, they all bonked themselves with their own weapons.

YOU WANNA GO TOO???

It’s just Burgerpants at the sponsor’s picnic table.

Gerson’s such a cool guy.

A five person death squad is formed.

The “fire” event involves sponsors chasing everyone around with red bean bags and just flinging them everywhere. Chara was probably the most avid participant. Maybe they felt they had something to prove.

Chara sends one expertly aimed bean bag hurtling right at Asriel’s face. Meanwhile Jason and Chiller hid in the bushes, but were found and cornered by Miu.

The others manage to run and/or hide.

But right afterwards...

Janet shoves Mettaton away so that she can stand in a kiddie pool, where she is “immune” to fire. Mettaton is then pelted with bean bags and convincingly screams as if he’s been set on fire. The mountie returns to be absolutely sure nobody is hurt and Mettaton takes this as a great compliment to his acting skills.

And with that, day 2 ends.

And here is the roster now. It’s considerably smaller now than it was before. If things continue this way, it may not be a very long game. But anything can happen...

[drv3boys-imagines]

How would the boys react to their fem s/o picking them up bridal style and throwing them up in the air and catching them?

Oooh, it sounds adorable! I like it, let’s go! 

The boys reacting to their fem s/o picking them up bridal style and throwing them up in the air and catching them:

Shuichi Saihara:

When Shuichi saw you coming towards him, he lifted a hand to greet you

“Ah, good morning s/o. Did you sleep well?”

When you started picking him up he was confused and surprised

W-What were you doing?

So imagine when you began throwing him into the air

For the whole way up and down he screamed in panic

When you caught him into your arms you couldn’t stop laughing

Shuichi felt like his heart was going at 100mph

“P-please s/o, next time, warn me in advance before doing this.”

You said sorry and began hugging him with a big smile on your face, the boy still slightly shaking into your arms

Shuichi didn’t think you were actually that strong. Looks like he was wrong.

Rantaro Amami:

It was like any other morning. Rantaro was preparing one of your bags so you could go back on the road once again with him.

When he saw you coming into the garden, he gave you a warm smile.

“Good morning y/o. The breakfast is on the table, but eat fast, we’re leaving in an hour.”

When you approached him, Rantaro thought he was in for a hug. How wrong was he.

When you picked him up, he looked at you, and rose an eyebrow.

“s/o, this isn’t time to play games you know…”

When you threw him into the air, Rantaro somehow managed to keep his composure all throughout the fall?

When you caught him, a few drops of sweats were rolling on his cheek.

But then he let out a small laugh. “Haha, that was kinda impressive s/o… But please, avoid doing this just after I ate my breakfast.”

Luckily for you, Rantaro had a strong stomach.

Ryoma Hoshi:

You two had been playing tennis for the whole afternoon

At one point Ryoma called for a break, and went on to grab his water bottle that he had put on a nearby bench

“Congrats Ryoma! I wish I could be as skilled as you”.

“Well,” Ryoma said as he picked the bottle, “you still got a ways to go after all. But you’ve improved in just a few weeks. I wouldn’t be surprised if you win tomorrow.”

Hearing that from Ryoma gave you a sudden burst of energy. Before he could open his bottle, you picked him into your arms, a big smile plastered on your face

As you tossed him into the air, Ryoma regretted his words

When you caught him back into your arms, you hugged him. “Thank you Ryoma, that really means a lot!”

“I’m glad to hear that it makes you happy s/o.” Ryoma replied, not without a little discomfort. “But please, put me back on the ground.”

“Sorry!”. Ryoma noticed that his sudden grasp on the bottle from when you threw him had almost made it explode.

Kokichi Ouma:

Today was amusement park day. Kokichi had been asking you for days and night to come here.

After strolling around the park for a while, your gaze stopped on a Ring Toss game. One of the prizes was one of these giant plushies that are far too expensive.

Kokichi noticed your interest in the plush. “Oooh, s/o. Do you want that? I can win it for you you know.”

After getting the rings he needed, Kokichi was almost unrecognizable. He threw the rings on the bottles with perfect precision and rapidity, your eyes couldn’t keep up.

Kokichi ended up winning the plushie. “Thank you Kokichi! Where did you learn to do that?” Kokichi shrugged “Didn’t I tell you? I’m the world champion at Ring Toss. I even won two competitions already.”

You knew he was lying, but you were too happy to care. With excitement flowing in your veins, you picked up Kokichi and threw him into the air.

Kokichi was laughing, still holding the plush in his arms. “Yaaay ! Higher s/o, higher!”

People looked at you weirdly, but that didn’t stop you from obeying to your boyfriend.

Korekiyo Shinguji:

“This statue was very important in ancient ceremonies. Some writings even say that it was used to crush the bodies of those who were sacrificed.”

You didn’t think that bringing your boyfriend to the park would end up in you getting stuck listening to his stories. They were interesting to hear, but when they were lasted for more than an hour, you lost interest real quick.

Each time you said you had to go to the public restroom, he would hold your arm and say “No, no, s/o, I am not finished. This is the most interesting part.”

So here you were, desperately trying to think about a plan. How to escape…

An imaginary lightbulb blinked above your head. You gently pulled on Korekiyo’s sleeve to get your attention.

“Hey Kiyo, can I show you something real quick? I’m not going anywhere, I just need your help.”

“You may, s/o.” You told him to stand up, and he executed himself. Kiyo soon regretted his decision.

In a matter of seconds, he was into your arms. And in another matter of seconds, he was in the air, before being caught by you once he fell down.

He quickly freed himself from your grasp to support himself against a nearby tree, shaking.

“s/o, w-what was the meaning of this?!” He said between anger and fear.

“Sorry, but I really needed to go, I’ll be back soon!”. That was the last thing you said before running away from Kiyo, in search of the public restrooms.

Kiyo didn’t try to catch you. “I am dating the Devil.”

Gonta Gokuhara:

You and Gonta had decided to take advantage of the nice weather to go on a stroll in the forest.

That was the best moment for Gonta to stop every few meters to observe the insects. “Oh s/o, come! There lot of bugs here!”

You actually enjoyed listening to what Gonta had to say about bugs. He seemed so happy just telling you about what he knew.

Suddenly, you heard barks. Getting louder and louder. When you both lifted your head, you saw a dog, probably a doberman, running at full speed towards you.

Gonta shouted. “Aah, s/o stay behind! Gonta protect you!”

But he had spoken too quickly. As soon as he had said that, he found himself in your arms, bridal style. This giant man being carried by a girl your height would make for a funny picture.

When the dog got nearier, you panicked, and somehow managed to throw Gonta into the air with all your strength. The poor man didn’t know what was happening.

You expected the dog to attack you, and that’s why you had thrown Gonta. But when the dog stopped in front of you, it wagged its tail and looked at you with excitement. It just wanted to play.

“Oh hi doggy!” you said, and somehow forgot that Gonta was starting to make his way back towards the ground.

“s/o, watch out!” Gonta screamed at you, but you didn’t have time to catch him back.

So Gonta did what he had to do. He threw his arms towards the ground, only a few inches in front of you, and rolled on the dirt so he couldn’t hurt you.

You apologized to him once he got back on his feet. 

“s/o okay?! s/o real strong! Could teach Gonta how to throw like that!”

Keebo:

Keebo had been at Miu’s for the whole day. He had explained to you that she wanted to see if his new jetback could be improved, and so he needed to leave.

“Do not worry s/o, I’ll be back before nightfall. Otherwise, well, please come pick me up.”

Lucky for you, Keebo arrived an hour before nighttime. “Miu has been much quicker than I expected.”

He then said that Miu had told him to test out the new jetpack before charging for the night. Since there was still daylight, you both decided to go to the nearby park, since there wasn’t any people at this hour.

Keebo explained that he needed to be high enough, so he could jump and activate the jetpack before he could hit the ground.

“What about jumping off a bench?” you asked him. Keebo tried it out, but couldn’t activate his jetpack before his feet touched the ground.

You asked him if he could climb on top of a tree and then jump off. “I am a robot, not a monkey s/o”.

“Oh, I know! If I throw you high enough, you’ll be able to activate the jetpack right?” Keebo wasn’t so sure about the idea, but complied.

When you picked him up, you made the countdown. “Alright, 1,2,3 GO!”

You threw Keebo, and he activated the jetpack. At least for a second. The moment you saw the blue light of the jetpack disappear, you knew it had failed. Keebo fell to his doom.

That’s when you caught him. The poor robot thanked you. “I think I’ll go back to Miu’s tomorrow. It seems it still needs adjustments.”

You both ended your day by watching a movie, trying to forget about the incident.

Kaito Momota:

Aaah yes, the Planetarium. A place where you and Kaito ended up at least once a week. Not like you really had a choice.

Hand in hand, you looked at the different models of the planets, read the theories about black holes and possibilities of other planets holding new forms of life.

“See S/O? That’s why I want to become an astronaut! Because space is so cool and full of mysteries! One day, they’ll name a planet after me for all the accomplishments I’ll do!!”

You two exited the Planetarium, and stopped to look at the giant telescope that was outside. Kaito looked at the sky with pure determination.

“One day I’ll go there s/o! And I’ll make sure to bring you some souvenirs from outer space!”

Kaito’s happiness… Now you were in a playful mood.

“Wanna go there that badly, space boy?” You asked him, which he replied to “Heck yeah I do!”

“Well what are we waiting for??” Kaito didn’t even have the time to ask you what you meant, that he was already in your arms.

When you threw him, he let out a scream of surprise. Once he was in your arms again, he blanked out for a few seconds, while you were just giggling like a child.

“Woah, s/o, I didn’t know you could throw me like that! You’re really surprising me every day! But that’s why I’m glad I’m dating you.”

Once he was back on earth, Kaito kissed you on your forehead. “Who knows, maybe I’ll even bring you with me up there.”

What were Miu and Hart's reactions when they first heard about Val? When they meet her?

Well, first I have to explain that Spike was always coming home and telling them about some pretty girl he met and how cool she was, yatta yatta. But they met pretty much none of these girls, because Spike, despite thinking many girls were pretty and interesting, didn’t think any of them were really interesting enough to introduce to his parents. He honestly never dated, he just kinda....talked to them a few times and then got distracted by someone shinier lol. Tbh, most of the girls he wound up talking to were girls that flirted with him, and they weren’t exactly his type. His type being someone who would wade through swamps and cross deserts with him.

So when he first came home talking about this girl he met at the university, they were like, “Okay, Kimi, we’re sure she’s very pretty and quite the socialite.” But then he didn’t stop talking about her and that changed their tune to, “Huh. That’s...interesting.” And the more he talked about her, the more they realized she wasn’t the usual prim and proper young lady annoying her father by talking to the slightly scruffy half-Kidamari wannabe adventurer. They also realized she was very much engaged to somebody else, a fact that didn’t dim the stars in his eyes in the slightest. They were understandably concerned, but Spike brushed off Hart’s gentle cautions and Miu’s blunt accusations of idiocy. He insisted they were just friends! She's so cool, Mama, you’d love her!

The first time they met her, she was still engaged to someone else. And she was not at all what they’d anticipated. The girls they had met before had all been thin and light and perfectly put-together. Val was the very opposite of that, with her bare face and simple tail in her hair and trousers + men’s button-up. Miu’s first thought was I like her. Hart’s first thought was spirits he’s brought home his mother.

Spike was obviously enamored, and Miu and Hart agreed that Val was more interested than she let on. But they still tried to dissuade him a little, considering her fiance and all. Not that it mattered for long--less than a month later, he came home and very somberly told them that Val had broken her engagement and she was very upset about it, could she come to dinner? (She was decidedly less upset than he had described, ie, not apparently upset at all.)

They were quite pleased when the two finally started dating for real. Hart was relieved that Spike was settling down a little, and Miu was glad he’d picked someone sensible instead of the “silly” girls he’d fawned over before. 

They both really like Val! Hart knows she really adores Spike (despite her frequent eye-rolling), and Miu knows she keeps him grounded. And of course it’s obvious that Spike’s world revolves around her. They think she’s a great addition to the family!

(Miu also really likes that Val calls him Dakimi; finally another person with some sense and taste!)
