#now to get back to servamp stuff

[lonelyloverz]

servamp spoiler about mahiru’s secret:

now that i’m thinking about it, it’s kinda crazy that akira pulled off mahiru’s revival is it not? it took villages to revive the servamps and they still didn’t turn out human so how did mahiru come back as a human with the price being just akira? am i missing something?

like the more i think about it the more i feel like its such a shame that this was revealed at the very end of the series + it’s used for mahiru to briefly fall back on the “it should be me” trope that he had gotten over with in london. i genuinely think the tooru cliffhanger was unnecessary. tanaka shouldve let him tell mahiru, have the call come immediately after the reveal, it gets forgotten in the midst of confronting tsubaki, the whole london shenanigan happens, he reveals that he doesn’t mind being the sacrifice because he’s died once, him and kuro can bond over their fucked up reincarnation and boom the story moves on

this way the reveal could’ve been a little more impactful and could’ve been an even angstier reason to mahiru’s self sabotage

i remember there were some theories floating around that he’s a phoenix or had some ties to saint germain and stuff but that all went down. had the secret been revealed earlier in the story we could’ve gotten so much more background about mahiru and akira, i was so hyped for her and her relationship w touma. the last time mahiru went thru major character development is the london arc and he’s the mc for gods sake 😭

i want to preface this by saying i absolutely love this series and i have been loyally reading the raws the day they come out every single month for the past 5 years, but i think servamp fell off after c3 arc and then got better for a little bit in london arc🫣 obviously i am very kuromahi pilled so this is a very biased !opinion!

and yall, ik this is going to make me look stupid asl but i genuinely don’t understand mikuni’s obsession with misono. i swear i read those chapters like 5 times but my brain just can’t comprehend it. maybe i should try reading the english translations for once because clearly im not understanding the japanese version

anyways i hope tanaka sensei takes a nice break now that she finished this decade long series. maybe she has another manga series in mind, i wouldn’t mind her going back to her bl roots either (if anyone knows where i can find all of them please tell me, i found some a couple of year ago under her other name tanaka ball but only snippets so pls help a girly out 🙏) oh and idk how well known this is in the fandom but tanaka sensei is a fan of kagerou project and has drawn a couple of oneshots for anthologies in which a certain character acts and is drawn like a certain blondie, which i think some of you crazy fans might appreciate

anyways rant over

toodles

Just some random Touma & Mikuni thoughts that my brain has been chewing on

I hadn't mulled over it much until now, but --

In the mirror world, Jun and Yumi refer to Touma as "director" instead of "assistant director," which implies that not only is he still their boss, he might even be the head of the company this time around.

Meanwhile, Mikuni is getting ready to join and take over the family business, which likely means he's stepping into the role Mikado used to fill in the previous world, including doing a lot of business within C3.

Assuming C3 functions in the mirror world the same way it functioned in the previous world, this would probably mean that Mikuni and Touma actually have to interact with each other frequently -- and honestly, that's hilarious.

I mean, these two absolutely hated each other. Mikuni obviously had reasons not to like Touma, since he was basically trying to do the same thing that Mikuni is currently doing -- use Tsurugi to create the ninth Servamp. And Touma once tried to shoot Mahiru for even mentioning Mikuni's name that one time in the basement of C3, so it's not much of a stretch to say the feelings were mutual.

Yet in the mirror world, Touma (presumably) doesn't realize that things are different -- but Mikuni absolutely knows, considering he's the one causing the world to change over and over again while trying to bring Misono back into existence. And now I can't stop thinking about the idea of Touma and Mikuni having a normal business relationship (WITH TSURUGI ON MIKUNI'S SHOULDER THE WHOLE TIME TOO, AND TOUMA DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO TSURUGI IS IN THIS VERSION OF THE WORLD. MIKUNI YOU'RE SO MESSED UP.)

Obviously, I can only speculate about a lot of this stuff, since it isn't confirmed yet -- we have no clue how many details Mikuni changed while altering the timeline. Maybe he and Touma don't even know each other in this world. Who knows.

All I know for sure is -- I so desperately want to see Mikuni interacting normally with Touma and Mahiru, all the while knowing this isn't how things used to be. Like a private little gloating party in his twisted head. I love how completely messed up it all sounds.

Ramen time! The quintessential weeb favorite and savior of broke college students everywhere. I’ve also been eating a lot lately as the weather’s gotten cooler, since it’s cheap, filling, and easy to customize, and it made me start thinking about what various Servamp characters might like, whether it’s the broth base or toppings. Food can say a lot about a character imo, so let’s go!

Mahiru: As usual, he likes to keep it simple. Prefers tonkotsu, which uses a pork bone based broth, chasshu (braised pork belly with a high fat content that melts in your mouth. It’s delicious!) a soft boiled egg (ajitama), halved, scallions, and, much to Kuro’s dismay, a heaping spoonful of chili oil. Kuro’s not great with spicy stuff so it makes it harder to steal from Mahiru’s bowl. Little thief.

Kuro: He’ll try most any if and when he can, but what he always comes back to is his favorite cup noodle in beef flavor. Eating out, though, he’s much the same as Mahiru, substituting chili oil for garlic, and adding kikurage, or wood ear mushroom. He’s really not picky though. Mahiru scolds him about not ordering too much pork when Tooru takes them out.

Tetsu: he likes a lot of veggies in his. Tempura especially, like kabocha squash, lotus root, and sweet potato, sliced and fried crispy. To him, that kind of ramen, with a rich and sweet broth (preferably vegetarian) is his absolute favorite. Misono eyes his bowl and wonders if there’s merit to the idea that eating vegetables makes you grow. Hmm…

Hugh: miso miso miso! He loves it. Slightly sweet and homey, the taste of miso will always remind him of the hospitality of his dear Tetsu and his family. Nobody tell him that garlic is a main ingredient. For toppings, he likes corn, ajitama, and various small mushrooms. He’s still struggles with chopsticks a little but refuses to use a fork. Since he looks five and foreign, people compliment him on his efforts lol. Such a big boy!

Mikuni: surprisingly for a rich boy like him, he prefers Shio. But you see, there’s the catch. Shio is deceptively simple, a clear-ish broth where the main form of seasoning is salt (Shio). It’s one of those dishes where anyone can make it, but only a pro can make it well. As a result, the flavors are more delicate. Top it with sea bream and a squeeze of lemon for him, along with some bamboo shoots (menma).

Jeje: just give him the broth please. Noodles are too difficult to eat with his bags. Okay actually give him some of those eggs too. They’re delicious. Mikuni does neither and eats on his own. Jerk.

Iduna: I feel like the only time she really eats it is either when Freya makes it or the instant stuff. That said, she likes trying all those weird and wonderful (and sometimes scary) limited edition cup ramen you’ll find if you pilfer the instant food aisle at a 7/11. Did you guys know they have a spaghetti all'assassina flavor. I didn’t. I do now. Her favorite so far has been the BIG karaage with lemon from Nissin Cup Noodle. Add a fried egg for some extra protein and spring onion and it’s ALMOST healthy! (it’s not)

Freya: She knows how to make her own shoyu broth and absolutely will. Chasshu chicken, seasonal vegetables, and a fresh raw egg, cracked directly into the bowl. Her husband showed her how he liked to eat it, and that’s how she’s also done it ever since. It’s a nice thing to treat herself and some of her subclass to when the weather is gross and rainy. Stay inside, eat some of big sis’s food that’s made with love, get a fire going if it’s cold. To them, that warm feeling of a full belly and good company… that is “happiness”

Licht: Lawless got him that awful limited edition s’mores ramen before to do a review on, and the significantly better pumpkin spice one (both from Cup Noodles US) because he knows Licht is a sugar fiend and would be brave (read: stupid) enough to try it and save him from subjecting himself to more atrocities than he already does. He’s so glad these are both limited edition. He’s less glad that Licht really enjoyed the pumpkin spice one. His followers are also not glad Licht liked that one, but he’s an eccentric pianist so people are more likely to just move past it as another quirk. On the more normal side of things (sort of. I promise it’s delicious. I got really curious so made my own of this at home, though definitely not up to a professional standard lol) Licht also REALLY liked the sweet and spicy miso ramen from Franken in Osaka when he got to try it. Much to Lawless’s surprise, so did he. Poor Licht, though. It was so delicious he kept eating, even though his nose was running a lot.

Lawless: This guy loooves savory and salty. Give him a bowl of tonkotsu with a mountain of pork and fried garlic and he’ll be your best friend. Add cheese on top and he’s yours forever. —At least until he finds another restaurant with a fun gimmick. But this is what he always comes back to. He’s actually worked in a ramen bar before so he’s more familiar than most on what he wants to look for to guarantee something good. His number one rule: if you want good food, don’t go to a place that allows smoking. His number two rule: if the kitchen is too clean, it’s gonna be mediocre at best. Some of the best and worst bowls he’s had came from places that were a little bit hectic, a little bit dirty. He’s got a threshold on how much funk he’ll allow, of course. Food poisoning isn’t fun for anyone, least of all him.

Nicco: he hasn’t really eaten enough to have a preference, but he does enjoy the atmosphere of it. What he doesn’t enjoy, however, is how fast you’re expected to eat it?! Take some time, enjoy your food! A case of clashing cultural values (also, the longer you let ramen sit, the soggier the noodles become, so it’s just best to eat it while it’s fresh and hot and not waste time, especially since ramen bars don’t tend to have a lot of seating available)

Ildio: same as Nicco, though for different reasons. He finds it kinda hard not to splash the people around him when he slurps the noodles, so uses the spoon a lot. He really isn’t picky, though, but his favorite topping are the little fish cakes. Y’know, the white things with the pink swirls Naruto is named after (this is a joke, but only by halves). He likes the texture of them. Eating fast is no stranger to him but he does sometimes burn his mouth. Can easily and readily eat multiple bowls in one sitting but is trying to curb the habit. Lawless loves to take him out for meals in general, even if his wallet tends to hate him after. But it’s fine. It’s worth it to see Wor-kun learn what he does and doesn’t like.

Misono: ramen is fast food (yes, really!) Misono doesn’t typically eat fast food. Misono barely even goes out to eat in general. Misono, bless his heart, is still struggling with the idea that he’s allowed to not know things and that his friends will help him. As such, he really doesn’t know what he likes lol. His food sensitivities don’t help in this matter. But… He really liked the ramen Mahiru made at home. So, if he had to say… He supposes. Shirota’s ramen is his favorite. For that alone, Mahiru feels like all the hard word to make it is way worth it. Maybe the Alicein will let him use their kitchens for more labor intensive stuff like that since Misono likes it… there’s only so much room in their fridge after all.

Lily: Shoyu broth. The lighter flavor suits him well, and the irony is not lost on him that this is also the broth Freya likes to make. It really is a guilty pleasure for him. For one, he stands out a bunch, being such a beautiful man. For two, he likes to go in the evenings after Misono has gone to bed. The image of a lonely beauty at a ramen bar… Somebody smack him before this goes even more off course. Anyway. He doesn’t prefer anything particularly special for topping. Nori, ajitama, menma, narutomaki, and chili oil. Really, the simplicity of it is what makes it truly delicious <- Guy who doesn’t want to spend too much of his allowance on fast food even when the mood strikes him because then he has less for overpriced fancy cafe coffee

Written for Servamp kinkmeme (hosted by @yarrayora), this was the prompt:

(Tsurugi/Mahiru) Mahiru bakes Tsurugi treats, and Tsurugi decides to repay him with more than a kiss

NSFW under the cut

Tsurugi is positively vibrating with excitement as he wipes down the kitchen counter. That, Mahiru thinks, is quite admirable. 

He has established a rule about this – food is always free in his house, but before it’s time to sit down and eat, the kitchen must be tidied up. Tsurugi has gotten so good at following it he grabbed the cleaning rags before Mahiru even said anything; and now he cleans away crumbs and specks of flour with remarkable enthusiasm while Mahiru loads the dishwasher, because he has a system about it and gets antsy whenever someone puts a bowl where a plate should go. 

Kuro teases him for it, sometimes, but Kuro is out visiting one of his brothers, and they have the apartment for themselves. Which includes the massive plate of cookies waiting for them on the kitchen table, fresh out of the oven, cooling under Tsurugi’s watchful eye. 

“Done!” He announces, just as Mahiru slots the last mixing bowl in place. He spares the counter nothing but a quick glance of inspection because he cannot possibly deny poor Tsurugi any longer, given that he’s three seconds from bouncing off the walls onto the cookie plate. 

“Good job,” He tells him and Tsurugi grins, eyes flashing towards their snack again. “Do you want a glass of milk with those?” 

He does, so Mahiru pours two and carries them over to the living room while Tsurugi grabs the cookie plate. 

“Alright,” He says once they both sit comfortably on the couch, cookies and milk in front of them. “Let’s eat.” 

A few years ago Tsurugi might have grabbed three or four at once, chowing them down with unconcealed vigor. That, too, has changed; he only takes one now, and though he still stuffs it in his mouth whole, he chews properly and leaves enough room in between this cookie and the next to say thank you, and that they are very delicious. 

“Remember to drink your milk,” Mahiru advises him, not even bothering to try and hide his proud smile, “or you’ll get a dry mouth and whine about it.” 

They end up resting on that couch in lazy silence; nicely full but not uncomfortably so. Mahiru has leaned back into its cushions, contemplating how healthy it is to have a lunch of cookies and nothing else and whether he should slice up some vegetables for dessert, and Tsurugi has sprawled over the length of it, presumably with the sole goal of resting his head on Mahiru’s thighs. 

The change in the air is imperceptible at first, minuscule, shifting along with Tsurugi’s mood. Mahiru only notices when he turns his head ever so slightly from where it rests on his lap, to blow a breath of air against the fabric of his pants, just below where his belt buckle sits, making him shiver. 

“Tsurugi?” 

“Thank you for the meal,” Tsurugi says. 

Mahiru allows himself a moment to ponder what he has come to understand as an invitation. It is important to do so, because Tsurugi’s ideas of what to offer gratitude for – and, perhaps even more so, what said gratitude looks like – tends to be questionable. 

But he looks at Tsurugi and finds an eager, manic glint in his eyes, softer than it used to be but excited nonetheless, finds him looking back with a distinct sense of hunger that can’t be quenched with cookies. Finds himself responding in kind. Getting excited. Feeling warm, and hungry. 

“Fine then,” He says, letting his hand card through Tsurugi’s hair before cupping the side of his face. He needs a second to find the voice he knows the other likes him best with, and Tsurugi uses it to slip from the couch onto the floor, kneeling in between his legs, making his intentions clear. 

“Good boy,” Mahiru croons, and watches Tsurugi’s eyes light up. “Your manners have gotten so good, haven’t they?” 

Tsurugi agrees with a wordless nod. He’s scooted closer, chest pressed against the edge of the couch, fingers buried in the fabric of Mahiru’s pants. If it were discipline they’d play with today Mahiru would reprimand him; but this is a thank you, a reward for both of them, and he will happily be a little softer about it all. 

“Get on with it, then,” He says, scooting a little closer himself, to save Tsurugi the discomfort of craning his neck. Their fingers tangle as they both reach to unbuckle his belt, warm and shivering with anticipation, holding onto each other for a moment before yanking the fabric below away. 

It’s a familiar song and dance, one they’ve swayed along to many times before, that they’re comfortable with, that they enjoy. Tsurugi has no reservations taking Mahiru in his mouth; he knows where to lick, when to suck, to get Mahiru to moan and keen, his head falling back into the couch cushions. He knows where to put his fingers, one hand teasing the flushed skin he hasn’t taken into his mouth yet, one still pulling at his pants, riling him up further; knows how to convey his gratitude, that getting Mahiru off means showing his own enjoyment, closing his eyes and moaning along, tightening his throat around the cock in his mouth. 

And Mahiru, in turn, knows how to offer in pleasure in turn, that Tsurugi loves his fingers tangled in his hair, having his scalp massaged slowly, lovingly, while working his tongue around Mahiru’s dick. Loves having Mahiru’s foot ever-so-gently pushed between his legs, to have something to rut on, chasing his own relief. The living room is thick with Mahiru’s heavy breaths, Tsurugi’s choked moans, the sound of their clothing against the rough fabric of the couch. 

It doesn’t take them long at all to cum. They are familiar with each other’s desire, well-versed in how to get them off. Mahiru holds on to Tsurugi a little bit tighter. Tsurugi takes him a little bit deeper, dragging his tongue along his length, and he feels himself spill down the other’s throat, feels Tsurugi grow soft against his foot. 

For a moment they simply sit in silence. Tsurugi pulls back with a barely audible noise, and Mahiru cups his cheek, kissing his forehead. The scent of cookies still lingering in the air mingles with that of sweat and cum, and Tsurugi licks his lips. 

“So?” Mahiru asks, teasingly, “what tastes better? Me, or my cookies?” 

Tsurugi blanches for a moment, trying to figure out the answer he likes to hear, and he allows himself to be amused by it for just a moment before kissing him again, a wordless reassurance. 

“Seems you need another sample to be sure,” He mutters, and reaches for the cookie plate.

Hello, hello, my gorgeous lovelies! I'm put a bunch of posts in queue earlier and I'm working on adding a couple more before I log off for the night! For any who might have noticed, I'm making the official announcements that the ask box is closed to new requests at the moment and there have been changes made to the fandom list. Not only is this allowing me to queue up the event posts and spend time on my own writing, but I'm really moving quickly through the rereads and watches of some media I've either wanted to revisit or finally get around to watching, which is something I want to keep focusing on, so that when I do write, I'm giving you guys the best that I can, the most in character and authentic posts that I can. For those curious, I've finished

Reading Katekyo Hitman Reborn, plus the Secret Bullet novels and the anime filler arcs for that.

I'm caught up to Chapter 135 of Servamp (that's all they have translated to English on the source I use)

Reading Dogs: Bullets & Carnage up to Chapter 101

Watched all 3 seasons of Iruma-kun and caught up to Chapter 339 of the manga

Read Eyeshield 21

Watched Ronin Warriors, including the OVAs...I took this one off the fandom list and won't be writing officially for it on the blog beyond the posts already queued because honestly, I get very little interaction with those posts and it makes them less fun for me to write and share

Watched both seasons of The Vampire Dies in No Time and am caught up to Chapter 71 of the manga, as that's where my source stopped

Replayed the Mystic Messenger routes

Currently alternating between watching Yu Yu Hakusho and Haikyuu!!

Currently alternating between reading Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece

The fandom list is a work in progress, because I do have sources to watch/read all the fandoms I was writing for, and will decide on whether to continue writing them after rereads/watches and seeing reader engagement with the queued posts :)

I'll be reopening the ask box once I've finished up a few more rereads and done some other stuff I want to do (like getting commissions back up and running here soon - I have some new ideas for that as well regarding pricing and services offered)! I promise - for now though, I'm making things as easy as possible on myself as I can, my dears!!

Here’s cute Lust pair headcanons to warm the soul (specifically mine)

Lily’s hair dryer is a hightech, state-of-the-art device that cost a small fortune and has blown the fuses in Alicein mansion more than once. Misono used to complain about it a lot, but over time, especially in winter, he has come to appreciate its benefits. Now whenever Lily fires it up, he can be sure that a moment later Misono will show up in his bathroom, looking to get some of that wonderfully warm airstream pointed in his direction – he’ll never outright ask for it, of course, just stare at his Servamp demandingly, but Lily is happy to indulge him anyway. His wet hair can wait (for Misono and no one else).

When Misono was a lot younger, he used to ask Lily to read him books, all cuddled up in the vampire’s lap. These days he prefers reading by himself; and whenever Lily gets too melancholic about how quickly times change he’ll have him put his head in his Eve’s lap, to read to him instead. It matters very little what kind of book it is or whether Lily knows anything about the plot at all – an Eve’s voice and presence are inherently soothing to their Servamp, and it’s not rare for him to fall asleep like that, a little smile on his face.

In spring and summer the Alicein gardens are overflowing with flowers; and Lily’s children love weaving them into flower crowns to give to the staff and family and whoever else wants them. More often than not, Misono will begrudgingly accept one, because it makes the children happy and he knows Lily enjoys having flowers around when napping in his Eve’s hair without permission (again). One time, Misono forgot to take it off when leaving the house to meet Mahiru, which neither Lily nor Dodo felt obliged to speak up about and was only noticed when Mahiru complimented him about it. 

Misono cannot resist a pretty bookmark – since he goes through a lot of books, he feels quite justified in owning a lot of them. The ones he uses most often, however, are from a pack Lily got him when he was much younger, with little paper butterflies on top that look like they’re sitting on top of the book when he closes it. He’ll claim it’s a force of habit rather than a preference if asked, but he does enjoy looking at his bookshelf to see a small swarm of butterflies waiting for him. 

Lily also likes pretty bookmarks, but he tends to lose them among the stuff littering his not particularly well-organised desk. He used to simply grab whatever was nearby to mark the pages of his books – a flyer, a wayward piece of string or a playing card, perhaps – until a younger Misono made him a little origami butterfly, wonky and somewhat clumsily folded but immune to being lost. 

Lily fears spiders but Misono doesn’t, so when confronted with one Lily will always wail for his Eve to come save him. Every now and then it’s not a spider but a tiny clump of hair that came loose from Lily’s brush and stuck to his sleeve he panics at. Misono will still pat his back for comfort while laughing himself breathless.

Wc: 1.3k

A/N: AVIATOR SIMPS COME GET YALL JUICE also I am begging for some good pickup lines/flirty lines. Please just DM them or something, pick up lines are my weak point www

A/N 2: Skull's tan line looks silly

Back to the start! Previous Next

You had finished the three volumes of Servamp that you checked out yesterday quite quickly, but it just met closing time when you checked the clock, so you were unable to go back and trade them for the next three volumes. You decided that the next morning, you’d make your way back to the library, and that’s where you’re headed.

On your way there, your tummy rumbles, and you remember that you haven’t eaten anything this morning. You check your bag, in case Milo had shoved some snacks in there again knowing you, but it seems you ate them all last time. Alright, not a problem, you could make a quick stop at a cafe or something on the way. You pull up the maps app on your phone and search. The closest one looks pretty cute, and decently taken care of, using the reviews and pictures as reference, so you begin to head there.

The name of the cafe was “Mochi-Mochi Cafe”. You hear the bell above you chime, and the pleasant smell wafts around the air. There are lots of people, this place must be a favorite among many. You spot lots of pastries near the front, and determine that this place doubles as a bakery. That sounds good for the future. You could easily drop by here before a battle in the morning, it was close enough to the Plaza. You had just intended on getting tea, coffee, or hot chocolate - anything to fill your stomach, so you think you’ll stick to that. You browse the menu and see that they have ice cream sundaes on special today. 

‘That’s probably a bad idea for in the morning, right?’

You look around, and see that it’s actually something lots of people are enjoying at their tables right now.

‘Well, Milo’s not here to stop me, so…’

You order yourself a nice sundae with all the toppings you could want. The person at the front seems a little nervous, you assume that he’s new. He’s working the cash though, so there shouldn’t be a problem. You’re sure to tell him your order slowly and wait for him to catch up, repeating the bits he missed without issue. You finally place your order and look around to find a seat. There’s only one table left, so you make your way there. You sit and look around, bored. They’ve got some cute decorations. Lots of cat-themed stuff. Lots of “make friends! Talk to the people around you!” type of signs.

‘Yeah, no thanks. I just came to eat and get back to my manga.’

Your order takes some extra time, but you don’t blame them with how busy it is. 

You thank them and begin to walk back to your seat, nearly bumping into a tall inkling, who seems to be wearing an octo tee and gold hi-horses. You didn’t want to look up, but you had to make sure it was him. No doubt about it. He goes up to the counter and you to your seat. The counter is in view of where you’re sitting, and you’re just close enough to make out his order. Which just so happens to be an ice cream sundae, just like yours. He did eat one in the manga, you shouldn’t be surprised that he likes them. He turns around, about to find himself a seat, but the cafe goes quiet after hearing a comically loud crash and a small “Carp!” From the back. A few moments of silence, excluding the footsteps of the workers going to check out what happened, then a shout of “Ice cream machine’s broken!”

It seems to not faze Skull, and he finds the only free seat across from you. He looks at you, silently asking if he can sit there. You nod, and are about to dig in. Before you do, you have to ask him why he didn’t go order something else, saying that you overheard him ordering ice cream.

“Why would I?”

“...Because the ice cream machine’s broken?”

“Oh. I guess I can’t have my sundae, then.”

“Nope.”

You both kind of look around awkwardly, you waiting for him to go order something.

“So you’re not gonna get something else?”

“I don’t want anything else.”

You want to let out an exasperated sigh, he really is airheaded.

“You know what? Here, I don’t mind ordering something else. It’s not like I was craving it anyways, it just looked good in the moment.”

You gently push the sundae with the unused spoon in it towards him, standing up out of your chair to order something new. You know how bad of a sweet tooth he has, so you figure this is your best option. He doesn’t even question it, quickly grabbing the spoon. 

‘Man, what a lovable idiot.’

You stop at the counter, ordering a handful of pastries, asking for them to put three in a to-go bag. You figure you should be kind enough to at least get your teammates something small, they can warm them up later if they want. Before you can sit back down, the cashier calls to you.

“Sorry to bug you, but did your boyfriend want something else since we can’t make him his ice cream? We can do it for free, sorry for the inconvenience!”

Uh…boyfriend?

You look back at Skull, who’s still sitting at the table, readjusting his bandanna.

“Oh! Nono, It’s not like that. I gave him mine, so we should be fine. But if it isn’t a problem, could I possibly get a gift card for this place?”

“Of course, here you go. Sorry once again!”

You wave dismissively, assuring them that it’s no big deal.

“You didn’t finish it?”

“No. It was yours. You can have the other half.”

You look at what was left of the sundae.

‘…He already ate all the good stuff on top. Thanks, but no thanks, sweetheart.’

“Don’t worry about it, you can finish it. I already ordered a couple things for myself.”

“But I feel bad now.”

“It’s alright, promise! It’s not like I’m just gonna disappear, we’ll probably see eachother again at some point.”

He doesn’t budge. Not like you can just move him, he’s a unit of a guy.

“Actually, tell you what. Next time we see eachother, I’ll probably have my teammates with me. One of them is a big fan of your skill, so how about you give them a signature. Deal?”

“Okay, sure.”

…Yet he still doesn’t move. What does he want? More sweets? Does he just wanna talk? He’s hard to read.

The bell at the front chimes, and here comes our lord and savior, our beloved:

Aviators.

He spots Skull right away, he’s certainly been searching for him for a while.

“There you are! Been lookin’ for ya, dude!”

He turns to you,

“Has he been buggin’ ya? Sorry ‘bout that. Name’s Avi, but you can call me yours, sweetheart.”

Damn. Okay then.

You lean back in your chair and raise a brow at him. Seemingly unfazed, you offer him a hand to shake.

“Yeah, don’t worry about it. But you can call me,-”

He feels a note and card in his hand, and looks at it. He spots a series of digits.

“-Anytime.”

He tries to fire back, but his mind’s betraying him. 

“It’s that easy to get you speechless? Thought this was your specialty, love.”

You chuckle at how easy that was, and you shoot him a genuine smile. 

Picking up your stuff from the chair, you grab your pastries from the counter, and give half of the purple team a quick wave, before making the bell chime again.

.

.

.

Thank cod you planned on giving Skull that note, you were sure he was going to forget you, and you just wanted proof that you two had met for when you see eachother again.

[lecliss]

Okay, do people actually think the braids in Mikuni's hair are his real hair? I've always believed they were yarn or string or whatever that were either tied or clipped onto the ends of his hair. I never once in my life considered the possibility that they're real locks of his hair that he let grow out then dyed and braided fjfbcifncicjfn

[wonderfulchaos69-blog]

Since my blog is looking a little empty for writing content, have an Erased fic I wrote a while ago~ It took 3 30 minute sessions with a buddy to finish, but tbh? It is actually pretty nice to have that ‘oh shit, I need to finish this now because this person is holding me accountable within this time frame’ vibe xD

We went with the prompt: “If you were logical, you would have killed me already.”

Title: Absent Fandom: BokuMachi Rating: T for Teens xD Characters: Satoru, Yashiro Summary: Satoru arrives home before his mother on that fateful day. (And one small change can often lead to drastic consequences.) Warnings: Canon-typical violence. Allusions to kidnap and murder.  Notes: Vague Yashiro/Satoru if you want to take it that way. Also, as I told Jen, ‘open ended af’~ Sorry, guys, I have a thing for Politician!Yashiro.

"Sensei," the hollowness in his own voice surprises him, but he turns and locks eyes with the man, because he wants to know, "what are you using to fill up that missing something?"

"Yashiro ... sensei?"

It doesn't sink in right away. It washes over him like a cold breath of air, slowly chilling him to the bone. It's been years since he's seen that face. Years that piled on the wrinkles and laughing lines to a once familiar face, but he can still see the man he used to know beneath it all. In the way his hair falls, disheveled, from where it was once slicked back. The motion of lunging forward, of pushing him down, makes the other's orderly appearance into something whirlwind.

"Satoru." On the other hand, there is nothing but recognition in the eyes that stare him down. A glaring red haunting him even as he turns his head and blinks. "Why are you here?"

He wants to laugh. Of all the things to be asked, he is sure that one is obvious. "I live here. I think the better question is: what are you doing here, Yashiro-sensei?"

There is a moment of tense silence as Yashiro struggles to keep him pinned down, shifting his weight to make escape something futile. Something that has no meaning here in the secluded apartment space, doors shut and locked tight. The man takes his time with a reply, even longer than should be necessary, twisting a strand of his captive's hair around his finger and grinning. "I thought your mother would be home," he says sweetly, in a recognizable way. In a tone that should have been reserved for nothing short of a trusted teacher.

Yashiro lets his words sink, bends down closer, and speaks right into a willing ear, "My, what a naughty boy you are, coming home early like this."

It's then that he recognizes the threat in the man's other hand as it creeps closer, a gleaming silver that flirts with each bob of his throat and teases a line of red against his too pale skin. It's been weeks since he's been outside, out in the sunshine, and now he's starting regret not taking that opportunity. It's beginning to look more and more like he won't be seeing tomorrow.

"How did you - ?" He stumbles over the words and cuts himself short, not wanting to know the answer in the end. It doesn't matter how Yashiro knows what he knows; what matters is that pieces of a long forgotten puzzle are beginning to fall into place. His mother noticing someone attempting to abduct a little girl. That someone being familiar - as familiar and recognizable as a beacon when you stopped to think about it. That same someone who was there, all those years ago, who could have committed all those abductions from a childhood he would rather not remember.

Memories that should have been locked away begin to rush to the forefront of his mind and he feels sick. He should have realized, long ago, recalling the words that had stuck in his thoughts for years: "Today you graduate from elementary school, but there is still so much that is missing. That goes for me, too. And yet, I think filling up that missing something is what life is."

"Sensei," the hollowness in his own voice surprises him, but he turns and locks eyes with the man, because he wants to know, "what are you using to fill up that missing something?"

The grin turns into something sharp and pointed, something more spine chilling than even the press of a knife. "You're a smart boy, Satoru. I am sure you've figured it out." He playfully pats at the younger man's face, obliging him with an answer regardless. "But if you most know ... right now, that something is you."

He swallows down the panic that rises from the pit if his stomach. Heavy like a rock, the panic sits there, stewing, and he is left with an energy that previously eluded him. His nerves thrum with a need to get out, as far and as fast as he can. There aren't many options coming to mind, but he tries to think of them anyway. Pressing his luck as he puts his hand against Yashiro's chest and shoves.

It doesn't do much, his actions, but there is a flicker of amusement across his once teacher's face before it settles into indifference. "I was expecting more of a struggle."

"And I was expecting to be dead by now," Satoru bites out before he can filter himself. Ah, I said that out-loud, he thinks. With muted horror, he pales further. He expects retaliation.

Instead, he startles a laugh out of his would-be killer. "Oh, Satoru, it was never you I was planning to kill. This simply changes my plans a bit." There is a crinkle of gloves as Yashiro pulls his knife back, lets it clatter to the floor. He grabs him by the jaw in exchange, uses his other hand to take off the glasses that have cracked in the struggle, and scrutinizes him for any further harm, tsking at what he sees. "You should clean yourself up before your mother arrives. Wouldn't want to worry her, would we?"

"What are you - " There is unbridled fury in his veins. He isn't going to let anything happen to his mother, and it fuels him on as he grabs Yashiro by the lapels of his nice suit, dragging him down. "Don't you dare touch my mother!"

Something in that sparks Yashiro's interest. With his palms flat against the ground, he looms over the person he has trapped and it makes Satoru feel as if he's back in school. Tiny and small. Helpless again to the same person that scarred his childhood. He remembers a missing friend, a missing classmate, and a friend accused of a crime he didn't commit. And here was the real culprit. The real offender who continued to commit crimes as easily as breathing.

"I will touch," Yashiro tells him, running a hand down Satoru's chest, "what I want." It is intimidation, pure and simple. A means to scare him. It works, and he instinctively raises his knee and slams it into Yashiro's gut. Not quite the reaction any of them were aiming for, but it does the trick in unbalancing Yashiro and that is the chance Satoru was looking for all along.

His heart pounding in his ears, he scrambles to get up and away. To get to the door.

He doesn't get far before a hand clamps down on his ankle and pulls, sending him to the floor with a crash. Face first and suddenly grateful for Yashiro's mindfulness in taking off his glasses. "Ah, ah, ah. Where do you think you're going?" That sense of gratefulness vanishes in an instance, along with any sense of personal space as his wrists are pinned to the floor, straddled once more by the intruder in his home. "I was being nice, and you want to ruin the fun? You've grown dull since I last saw you."

Pulled back by his hair, Satoru closes his eyes against the imminent pain that plans follow. But when nothing happens, he tentatively cuts his gaze to the side. From where he is, he can barely make out Yashiro's expression, but there is a thought there. A consideration. Right before a wide grin spreads like needles across a delighted mouth. "We're the same, aren't we."

Eyes darkening like a wave in a storm, Satoru hisses, "I am nothing like you."

"Oh, but you are, aren't you? You, too, are lacking. We're all lacking. What do you use to fill that emptiness, Satoru? Tell me."

"No." It slips out before he can stop it. He refuses to tell Yashiro anything, but the quick and resolute way he speaks his answer earns the reprimand that didn't come before it. His face slams against the floor and there are spots in front of him, dancing, a gasp ripped from his throat as he blinks back tears.

"I asked you a question. It's only proper," stresses Yashiro, "that you answer." He tries to think of something to say, something untrue, but Yashiro gives him a warning shake. "And make sure it's the truth."

He takes too long to answer and he can feel the impatience in the gloved hand that taps at his hair. Repetitive tap, tap, tapping. On a whisper, he says, "Manga," because it's what he does for a living, outside the realm of pizza delivery, but there is something that lacks in his answer. A depth that he can't find. Neither in his art nor in his life. He is lacking, but he doesn't know what. He's barely scratched the surface of his heart to find it. He doesn't want to travel that path, not into those muddy depths, afraid of the answers he'll find buried there.

"Wrong again," Yashiro practically sing-songs, but there is an amiable purr to his voice as he massages the back of Satoru's head. "But I can see that you're tried, so I'll let that one slide. Besides," the front door gives a wiggle, far away - but not far enough, "we have company. You're a smart boy. I'm sure you can guess what happens next."

so yall read the new servamp chapter too right 🌚

like look at them being silly brothers !1!1!1! we are sooooo back. i really missed this era of servamp 😭

but frfr this chapter is insane. spoiler warning obv…

i know this was said in the previous chapter already but mikuni trying to become misono’s dad???? wtaf?

and the whole looping thing? sumeru samsara reference???

bro niccolo being dead killed me, why did mikuni let him die and where is my girl izuna ☹️

touma being a responsible dad and a decent human being (jaw dropped) i can’t wait for the secret about mahiru to get revealed. we’ve waited so long, i think it’s been like two years since we got that awful cliff hanger (?) bro this arc has been so long i’ve been reading this manga since i was in middle school now im a sophomore in college

but fr tho i thought c3 arc was a bit long when i first started following the manga but this recent arc was a hard read ngl (im not hating i just haven’t had the time to sit down and reread the whole series in a while, i end up forgetting stuff in monthly updates) like i remember really enjoying the london chapters cuz we finally saw mahiru’s development and feeling meh on the rest of it. ik this is deffo going to change bcuz im looking back at prev chapters and i feel insane for not appreciating them that much (literally the same thing happened when i was keeping up with aot manga. for some stupid reason i could not get my head wrapped around the marley and war for paradis arc and only got my mind blown when i took a break and reread the whole thing. i think im just stupid lol)

but anyways yeah i literally love servamp so sad it’s finally coming to an end

ik after over a decade tanaka sensei needs a break but im lowkey hyped for any other works she may be planning or honestly a full series of servamp gakuen or even a spin off based on this re:servamp thing

one last thing idky but this re:servamp thing reminds me of the slice of life eva episode. it just has the same everyone’s happy and without trauma vibe and it makes me want to bawl my fucking eyes out 😖

k rant over

[kaluawoo]

Huh, really, Hyde had only 14 Eves so far?

[ca-3]

Sakuya is Gay.

that's it. that's the post.

jk or more accurately titled

"Sakuya Watanuki is a Gay Character and Here's Why I Think So."

(Edit: Part 2 of this post is here. hehe)

and why he 100% most definitely undoubtedly has a massive crush on Mahiru Shirota and I am writing this post(s) in honor of my favorite Servamp character and Pride Month 🌈💚

I know I said some of this stuff before in the past, but SO MANY things have come out since then and I haven't really had a reason to talk about some of these. So I thought it would be fun cause I haven't made a post like this in awhile ✨

It's insane how much content Sakuya has outside of the main story and I feel like a lot from him gets forgotten or some don't know about some of this stuff since he hasn't been physically in the story for awhile again 💔 maybe Tanaka Strike has certain main story plans later... but when you look over all these bits and pieces of the serious and the even silly stuff, you really start to realize this boy is definitely "🌈🌈🌈"

To start off real quick I feel like mentioning that we do have to remember that while Sakuya and Mahiru weren't actually childhood friends they were still together for a whole year before the events of the canon Servamp story began. Meaning Sakuya definitely had plenty of time to fall for Mahiru even if he probably didn't realize it yet. So if you really think about it, Sakuya and Mahiru have known each longer than most other characters in Servamp. Outside of like you know, any family relationships in the series.

Drama CD moments:

Sakuya confessing his “undying love” for Mahiru (In the 2016 April Fool's Day "SERVAMP School" announcement, it is stated that the way he would pursue Mahiru by insisting on walking him home everyday while proclaiming his undying love to him.)

This whole CD was apparently like an dating sim lol just read this synopsis, "Who will Mahiru ends up with? Will he go with the tsundere chibi who insists on paying him lunch while calling it troublesome? Or will he go with the lazy blue-haired senior who likes to invite him to eat ramen together? Or perhaps with the green-haired classmate who insists on walking him back home together everyday while proclaiming his undying love to him? You’ll find it all out in “SERVAMP School”.

this CD is apparently also called the Vampire-only Spring Vacation (x)

Mahiru:

"Aaaah, vampire-like options appeared all of a sudden! That was close – I was just about to forget you guys are vampires!!"

School bell rings.

"Tttttwahh!! Lunch break’s gonna end if we keep saying stupid stuff like this!! I haven’t even eaten lunch yet!!

[DING!]

Lawless:

[Now then. Who will you eat lunch with?]

[1. Lawless-chan and Lichtan]

Mikuni:

[2. The unpleasant upperclassman]

Tsubaki:

[3. The student council]

"Now MahiMahi! Who do you ch-"

Mahiru: "Yo! I’m gonna go look for Sakuya!! Bye now!!"

Runs off. (x)

April Fool's Day or not, this CD is very indeed telling of Tanaka Strike's previous BL works. Yes Tanaka Strike made tons of BL/yaoi mangas,doujins, and one shots before Servamp so keep that in mind too.

Sakuya getting super flustered by Mahiru calling him “Sakkun”. in the Servamp Drama CD “The Vampire-only Summer Vacation” Episode 3 (I recommend listening to this one, Sakuya's panicking near the end makes it extremely worth it, he's so cute here <3)

Sakuya: "For me... S-S-"Sakkun"... or something..."

Mahiru: "Heh? S-Sakuya? You wanted to be called something like that?"

Sakuya: "A-ah! No! J-just kidding! J-joking!! Ahahahah!! H-how much of what I just said was a lie-?"

Mahiru: "S-Sakkun…"

Sakuya: "U-uwahh!! I was lying!! Lying!! Mahiru you DUMMY—!!"

(also small thing that I also think is cute here is the fact Mahiru was not into the whole nicknames thing that everyone was doing until Sakuya wanted one and then tries to make him happy by saying it❤️)

In Servamp Idol Festival Track 4, Sakuya misses Mahiru so much he has Mahiru merch and has made his own Mahiru plushies. (Even though he said he can barely thread a needle in the main story... my more own personal headcanon here is that Sakuya probably said that just he spend more time with Mahiru alone, cause why else?) Tsubaki and Belkia are shocked by how much Mahiru merchandise he has too.

In the same drama CD Sakuya signed his name as "MahiMahilove" in his letter about hating his bosses demands and wanting to see his friend. (x)

I can't find the exact CD name, but there's one where Kuro and Misono get part time jobs and Sakuya is there working too. When Sakuya sees Kuro and Misono without Mahiru and immediately starts asking why isn't Mahiru with them. Misono even mocks Sakuya for this lmao.

Sakuya: "and where's Mahiru? Why's the cat here but Mahiru isn't? Mahiru should be here."

Misono: "When you open your mouth all that comes out is "Mahiru Mahiru." Don't you have other friends than him?"

rip Koyuki and Ryuusei I guess oof

Going to put the rest under "keep reading" cause this post is already long 😅

The drama CD Servamp "Much Ado About Nothing Filled with Vampires" Track 3 - Switch: Where half the main cast switches bodies, Sakuya immediately goes to "Mahiru's" side (not knowing it's currently Kuro in Mahiru's body lmao) worried about him because Mahiru looks "gloomy". Since it's actually Kuro, he doesn't know how to respond and only says "nya..." causing Sakuya to further panic that "Mahiru" is not acting like himself. Also Sakuya really wanted to switch bodies with Mahiru too after figuring out the truth. (x)

In Servamp Idol Festival Track 4, Sakuya asks Tsubaki for 50,000 yen (which about $394 in USD at least lol) so he can take Mahiru to get Yakiniku. (Sakuya might have been planning to take Mahiru somewhere pretty nice cause Yakiniku is generally considered a luxury dining option in Japan apparently when I searched it up.) (x)

In the CD "Much Ado About Nothing Filled with Vampires" Track 1, Sakuya talks about the sauna being good for your blood flow and Mahiru brings up not wanting to talk about that in front of a bunch of vampires and Sakuya reassures Mahiru he won't bite him. (I wonder if this is in slight reference to Sakuya saying whenever they used to hang out he always felt very thirsty... I wonder if he really meant that or not.)

Sakuya: "I hear it’s good for blood flow, too."

Sakuya: "What do you think, Mahiru?"

Mahiru: "Uh… I mean, well… I’d rather avoid talking about blood in front of vampires…"

Sakuya: "It’s okay! I won’t bite you."

Tsubaki: "Sakuya, you’re coming on too strong."

Tsubaki: "I don’t remember raising you to be so beastly."

(god even Tsubaki knows his son is gay)

In a comic gene bonus, Servamp Mini-drama CD “Steam Vampire Chapter”, where Tsubaki and Belkia find Sloth Pair at the hot springs and when they return to their room telling Sakuya he should have came with them and Sakuya said it was still a "definite no" until they mentioned Mahiru was there and they immediately have his attention, "Mahiru!? Mahiru came here?" meaning he would have definitely shown up if he knew Mahiru was there lol (r.i.p to you Sakuya) (x)

and of course I didn't forget the 10th Anniversary CD track 6 because holy god, this is one of the most recent ones and I swear everything was over the top and so was Sakuya's obvious feelings for Mahiru. Strike isn't even being subtle anymore... (x)

Sakuya is extremely moved Mahiru listened to his "depressing monologue" in the previous tracks with Tsubaki lmao

Sakuya says he can hear Mahiru's voice sometimes even when he's not around.

Literally attempts to attack Mikuni WITH HIS CHAINSAW WHICH WE HAVEN'T SEEN SINCE CHAPTER 32 IN VOLUME 6 AND TELLS HIM TO STAY AWAY FROM MAHIRU. Also Mahiru pretty much sics Sakuya on Mikuni like a guard dog here too anyways... 😅

There's a moment where he is talking to Mahiru and they talk about the past for a brief moment or as Sakuya puts it "Let's continue talking about our feelings, Mahiru!"

Sakuya gushes to Mahiru about a time where they went shopping together on their way home for the first time and how his "heart was pounding like crazy the entire time." Sakuya words actually make Mahiru flustered as well while he remembers the memory of it.

Sakuya continues to gush to Mahiru, but he won't shut up to the point where they literally fade him out while he continues to talk with Mahiru and Tsubaki says "feel free to ignore this child."

Manga/SLS comic moments:

Most recently from the 2022 character popularity poll comic look how happy Sakuya is that he and Mahiru ranked so close together in the postcard rankings 💚

This entire SLS comic from Sleepy Life of Servamp Volume 1 ... I don't need to say much else (lol it's meant to be a joke about how Sakuya is low key "yandere" even he doesn't really display these exact traits in the main story, but still I can't with this boy) the only other time Sakuya is referred to as a "yandere" is in the Servamp Idol Festival drama CD as said by Belkia... but only cause they are freaked out by Sakuya's collection 😅

From the 10th Servamp Anniversary party booklet: Sakuya literally pulling an Edward Cullen and protecting Mahiru(and kitty Kuro) from a truck and acting like it's nothing lmaooo (x)

At the end of volume 9 there's a comic about the anime version of Sevamp being announced and while all the characters have their own takes about what its focus will be. Sakuya wants it to be about him and Mahiru in highschool (Strike makes this boy talk about Mahiru any chance he can get, my god)

I wonder if he was hoping for a coming of age or slice of life story or some kind of high school romance... 🤔

Anime moments:

After the first Sakuya-centric arc is over in the anime Sakuya replaces Kuro in the anime ending for one episode and it shows him smiling at Mahiru 💚 like this wasn't at all necessary to do... But the anime team did it anyways and I feel like it for a good reason. It really shows that even they can't always be together now Sakuya means just as much to Mahiru as Kuro does :') like Mahiru does have other bonds with characters, but they REALLY made it a point here. Sakuya is what made Mahiru take getting stronger way more serious and want to find a good way to put an end to Tsubaki's plans. Not only for the other Servamps and Eves, but for his best friend too.

Also I'm convinced the anime team low key ships them the most now after seeing them here on the blu-ray/dvd box and all the other extra anime style content they gave us lol (I'm joking but also...??👀)

This scene is completely anime only(the entire ending of the anime was completely made up anyways) but I think this really shows Sakuya would protect Mahiru if he saw Mahiru in immediate danger. We haven't seen anything like this in the manga version yet, but I believe something very similar might happen if given the chance. For example, Mahiru never did the key ability before in the manga like he did here in the anime at first. Eventually years later he did it in the manga, but it happened a bit differently. GOD LET SAKUMAHI REUNITE IN THE MANGA ALREADY.

In fact the anime did cut out a scene from volume 4 where Sakuya protects Sloth Pair from Belkia. Although they didn't know it was Sakuya who did it. They thought Belkia just disappeared out of nowhere.

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

and yes, we're still not done... Cause here's some bonus stuff!!

I want to talk about this because this probably a more obscure "SakuMahi moment", if we can really call it that... 😂 (it's more of a moment between Yuto Suzuki and Takuma Terashima, but their are acting out their characters and using their voices so..?)

But there was a seiyuu event called "Servamp Festival: Find your Partner!" Or "Secret Door challenge" and the Servamp voice actors played a little game where they were basically kind of role-playing as their respective characters and had to find their partners behind a door guessing by the sound of their voice. (basically Mahiru had to find Kuro, Licht had to find Hyde and so on) The catch was that their voices were pitched to make it more difficult for them.

but Mahiru(Terushima) didn't guess correctly and instead of finding Kuro(Yuki) behind the door.... He found Sakuya(Yuto) and well,, 👀

Host: "Please open the door!"

Terushima(Mahiru): "It was you guys! It's Sakuya!!"

Suzuki(Sakuya): "MAHIRU~!!!"

Terushima(Mahiru): "Aaaa! I feel weird fate! Stop it!"

I feel like even Suzuki knows that Sakuya is a little bit too into Mahiru that he just really played up this moment here. I mean, look at him stretching out his hand like that and he sounded so happy when yelling out "MAHIRU!!!" :D (also I like how Belkia's VA just kinda ignores them lol)

I do recommend watching the full version of this, it's a very entertaining seiyuu event 😂 although I don't think you'll find a fully translated version anymore...

There's a lot of Land of Nod events too and other bonus contents as well, like Parallel Summer, Servamp Valentines event and my personal favorite the Halloween event on Tanaka Box...

So this is definitely not everything I can find but I'm going to make a part 2 to this since I can't add more images anyways, sucks tumblr doesn't more than 10 pictures on text posts anymore💀 and this likely won't be the end of this Sakuya's eternal pining for Mahiru until they finally reunite in the main story...

This ship is my favorite, but also absolute pain... 🤡 if you read this far, WOW THANKS SO MUCH ❤❤❤

To be continued...

✨🌈Happy Pride Month🌈✨

[katzkinder]

Chapter 122 spoilers (again)

Yeah so this is all coming from a single line Mikuni spoke this chapter lol

This line here is Mikuni being his usual self and referencing a portion of the bible, more specifically, he's talking about John the Baptist, who was beheaded, but it goes... Deeper than that.

Rather than Mikuni, this post is going to focus on Lily, and how this line relates to him and the role he's playing in this particular scene.

Okay so the down and dirty of it is that Johnny boy was imprisoned by King Antipas after criticizing his marriage to the widow of his halfbrother. Mikuni is clearly John here, openly criticizing his father's affair and all that good stuff.

The thing is, Herodias, Antipas's new wife, had a daughter, and while her new husband was reluctant to execute John because he "knew him to be a good and just man," he backed himself into a corner after promising anything his new daughter desired after she danced in front of him. Her mother, seeing an opportunity, convinced her daughter to ask for the head of John on a silver platter. Reluctant but not one to back down on his word, Antipas acquiesced and John was executed.

Now how this fits in with Lily.

The most commonly accepted idea is that Herodias's daughter was named Salome, and through numerous media interpretations, she's become synonymous with the face of female lust and obsessive love, partially thanks to the writings of Oscar Wilde, who created a play using the name that had become accepted for her and popularized the idea that her dance was one of sexual nature, using the name "Dance of the Seven Veils".

It's a westernized belly dance basically lol. Anyway, I say accepted because in the end... We don't actually know her name. You see, while the historian Josephus lists the stepdaughter of Antipas as "salome," no connection is ever made between this Salome and John, nor is it ever mentioned that she dances. It's just... The one thing was have to go off of? So it's kind of the default.

Enter Salome: the opera, by Richard Strauss. This is truly where the connection to Lily becomes the most obvious, in a very roundabout way (as is Strike's nature).

You see, in the play, Salome is a target of lust for numerous characters, not least notable of all her own father. However, upon seeing John, she instantly, madly, falls in love with him, but thrice has her advances rejected. John then goes on the proclaim salvation through the messiah.

Personally I think this sort of mirrors Lily's situation with Mikuni, where Mikuni was originally meant to be his Eve and, while not rejecting Lily, he ultimately left with a different Servamp, one who dresses as a holy man.

Skipping ahead a fair bit in the play, after Antipas accepts her request and brings forth John's head on a silver platter, Salome once again proclaims her love for John, and the play ends with her passionately making out with a severed head while Antipas, in horror, shouts for his guards to kill her.

And in the current chapter, we've seen Lily's obsessive love rise to the surface, where everything he does is for the sake of Misono's happiness, according to himself.

The perversion of love is a STRONG theme throughout the Alicein and I am so here for it--

To wrap this up, what I'm getting at is that Lily and Salome, through the machinations of others, now parallel each other.

Avatars of Lust through no fault of their own, they're moved about as game pieces in the schemes of others, and ultimately their true selves are forgotten in favor of molding them into what the public want of them, corrupting them into something ugly, obsessive, but fiercely desired by those very same who revile them for their existence.

And yet we can't even be sure of who they really were in the beginning.

Okay but you and Peter are super close and you found out he wanted to be the Spider-Man and helped him make his first suit and then he gets his suit from Tony and you just feel kinda useless now because what do you have to offer a guy with the avengers backing him

Peter's beaming smile was almost enough to lift your heart from where it had sunken into your stomach, the brown paper bag in his hand clutched so tightly that you thought it was going to tear.

"Can you believe it?! A real suit!"

You tried to ignore the implication that came along with that, that the suit you'd spent hours hand-sewing with your best friend wasn't good enough for him. You nodded, fake smile plastered on your face, "Well, let's see it!"

He peeled apart the top of the bag, reaching inside and gripping the material inside with much more care than he'd shown the bag. The brown paper was set aside in favor of the red and blue spandex, black webs snaking around every inch of the fabric. A black spider laid on the chest of the suit, and you watched Peter nearly faint as he saw the entire thing for the first time.

"Y/N, look at this! Oh my god, look, it's so sleek and-" Peter caught sight of the mask laying in the remains of the bag, eyes widening as he flung the suit on the bed to fumble with the mask.

"Holy shit! Y/N, it's so high-tech, there's so many- oh my god! There's a lady in here and she's talking to me and she's saying so much awesome stuff and this is so cool!"

You could only watch your best friend geek out over the newer, better version of the suit you'd pulled an all-nighter with him to make, bitterness fogging your memories of the night. You stood abruptly, tears threatening to spill out down your cheeks as you bit your lip to keep your composure.

"Hey, Pete," You managed to get your voice to sound normal, praying that with all of the high-tech add-ons to his goggles, he couldn't see your tears, "I just remembered I've got homework due tomorrow, and I left my notes at home. I gotta go, we can hang out again soon."

Then, before he could say anything, you added, "And congratulations on the suit. It looks great."

"Oh, um, do you want to just borrow my notes?"

"No, no, it's okay, I need my own. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"

"Wait! Wait, I'll just come over later when I do my patrol. You can see the new suit in action!"

"Can't wait," You had already turned around, no longer able to hide your tears, "See you later, Peter."
