#oops this got long again hahaha

[notfreetoday]

Hi! I read your post about amae recently and I wondered something in regards to Segasaki and Yoh (MPW).

(Spoiler ep 8!)

Segasaki asks Yoh to wait at the door and greet him when he gets home from work. Though Yoh is confused he recognizes that it's something that would make Segasaki happy. He then takes the initiative to say the greetings in the kitchen, giving his anwer to the request. Is this Yoh recognizing Segasaki's amae?

Hello! Thank you for reading my post 😁 And yes it is! Specifically, asking Yoh to come to the door regardless of what he is doing, is the amae part (plus, the way Segasaki says it). Standard greetings like okaeri and tadaima (see Ep 3's post for more) are what make coming home feel like, well coming home. They're a very common part of everyday life - but Segasaki doesn't say "I'm back". Yoh has said "welcome back" before - but only after Segasaki comes to look for him.

Ep 8 is when Yoh finally recognizes Segasaki's amae - In fact, Yoh specifically uses the word "amae" when he does realize it, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the subtitles (I haven't fully watched the subtitled version of EP 8 yet).

Since it'll take me awhile to get to Ep 8, I'll just do this part first, because it looks like the subtitles make it a little harder to tell that he's amae-ing.

S: その代わり S: 俺が帰ったら通話中だろうが何だろうが S: 玄関まで来い S: んで*　おかえりっていえ Y: そんなこと** してほしかったの？ S: 悪いかよ？*** Y: 別に悪くない S: Instead of that, S: When I come back, whether you're in the middle of a call or doing whatever else S: Come to the front door S: and then*, say "welcome back" Y: Is that something... you've wanted me to do?** S: (You mean) I can't (want that)?*** Y: No... there's nothing wrong (with that)...

*Segasaki uses a shortened, informal version of "and then" here, and together with his muttering, and his unwillingness to look at Yoh, he sounds like he really doesn't want to have to admit this (though, he still sticks to his rough speech 🤣).

**Yoh's phrasing here makes it sound like he's genuinely surprised that Segasaki wants this, because, like I said earlier, it really is something very simple that most people would take for granted.

***悪いかよ - Literally "Is it wrong?", with an ending particle that indicates this line is a challenge, except for the fact that he says it so tentatively.

Y: 本当よく分かんないやつ* Y: そんなことでうれしいの？ Y: おかえり Y: お仕事　お疲れ様** Y: 玄関じゃないけど Y: Really... such a difficult to understand guy* Y: Would something like that... really make him happy? Y: Welcome back Y: You've worked hard at the office** Y: Well, it's not at the door though

*Yoh uses the informal word やつ (yatsu) to refer to Segasaki here, which he's never used before. Depending on the context, it can be considered rude, though is often used casually amongst male friends. In this context here, it's used to express affection mixed with mild exasperation.

**お疲れ様 (otsukaresama) - standard greeting; full version "otsukaresama desu/deshita". Literally means "you're tired/you've worked hard" and is an acknowledgement of the effort someone has put in for the day, more than it is some sort of praise or commendation. For eg, Yoh says this to his lousy editor in Ep 5 😅

That said, the way Yoh says it here is very sweet, adding the honorific prefix "O" to the word "shigoto (work/job)", and then tacking on the polite version of this phrase, "otsukaresama". Remember when I talked about the different definitions of sunao in the amae post as well? I mostly talked about Yoh not being able to be honest/straightforward with his own feelings, but the other definition of sunao describes an attitude/behaviour towards other people. That definition is usually translated along the lines of "cooperative/obedient/deferential" (note that these words sometimes carry a negative connotation in English, which is not so in this particular usage of the word in Japanese here). This is Yoh being the very picture of sunao here. It's adorable and sweet and it's no wonder Segasaki jumps right on him 😂

---

Thank you for your question! I'm really happy to know that amae is starting to be a little more understood, since it is quite a common phenomenon in many JBLs :))

I've finally reached the point in the anime where the cross guild is formed and addicted🙌

I don't mihawk wouldn't even think about letting buggy near child!reader, but what if reader snuck off to one of buggys shows and got caught by crocodile and/or mihawk?

Circus Escapade ( Cross guild x Gn!Dracule!child!Reader)

A/N Finished my essay ya’ll!! So I made this for you guys, sorry it took so long anon! Also idk how I feel about it, no idea why but the first word that comes to mind is surreal?

Reader here is replaced by Dokucha which means Reader in Japanese.

Dividers by @/saradika

Dokucha knew that what they were doing was likely to get them in trouble not only with their dad but their uncle would not be the happiest either

But they just wanted one small peek of the show, a small peek at what happened behind the tarp; that’s all they wanted

They grin, popping their head slowly over their hiding spot and watching as the different acts went about performing

The stage was filled with different acts performing, each one seemingly more outrageous than the other; some were dangerous, some were more comedic, and a few even seemed a bit off to the audience…but that was the point; it’s a circus after all

A new act has now taken the center stage, the lights dimmed and the curtains drawn as Buggy himself came out, using his devil fruit ability to perform various tricks

They grin, giggling at his comedic actions, watching enthralled as the different body parts move around independently

Buggy’s comedic act continued; his body parts continued moving all around, one arm reaching over, picking at his teeth, and one of his legs would do a silly little kick before each body part would come together again.

His act was rather amusing, and as the act reached his peak, he came over to the podium, extending his arms toward the audience

“Hahaha!! Applause, Applause, Applause!!,” he screamed, waving his arms around, trying to get the audience to clap for him

They laughed along with the audience, gleefully enjoying the act until they felt something lift them up

They squeak as they suddenly are brought right up to the ringmaster himself

“Well, looks like we have a break-in!” Buggy laughs but stills as he takes a closer look at them

“W-Wait, you’re Mihawk’s-

“Clown.”

Everyone turns their head at the sudden entrance of the ex-warlords; the circus growing eerily quiet, everyone too afraid to move a muscle in fear of angering the duo more

“Buggy…” Mihawk seethes, his eyebrows knit together, his tone of voice dangerously eery

Crocodile, while maintaining his usual stoic expression, holds back a low grow

Buggy’s expression changed when he saw the two enter, his body parts freezing into place, his eyes widening slightly as he gulped, his voice growing quieter as he spoke

“Cro-Crocodile, Mihawk…”

Buggy gulped, taking a few steps back as he spoke, “I ca- I can explain!”

“Do you think I care for explanations?” Mihawk glares at Buggy, his gaze becoming sharp; he takes a step closer

“W-Wait, I swear I had nothing to do with this. I didn’t bring them here!”

“Your hand on them tells a different story,” he growls, ripping way the hand from Dokucha and embracing them

“Tha-I swear I can explain. I didn’t know.”

“Dokucha.”

They flinch at their father's sharp tone, and although they were aware that the anger was not directed at them, they were also going to get one hell of a scolding

“Go to your room; I will come to talk to you after I'm done with him.”

They nod

“Sorry Papa”

“Now you,” Mihawk said coldly, looking at Buggy, who just stood there, sweating profusely, his entire body shaking in fear as the duo advanced on him.

“H-Hey, I'm sure we can talk this out.”

The last thing Dokucha heard as they flew out of the tent was the cries of the mercy of the crown; they flinched at the sound

“Oops…”

Did buggy probably die? Yeah, is everything Dokusha said to that oops? Yeah cause their a menace

i was scrolling down the #summerofcome2023 tag and wow, every piece was exquisite.

maybe you’ll feel inspired some day to write more about a line that goes “he’s mating material, maybe Max thinks about this too” or something like that hahaha

Flufftober Day 11: this anon.

max/daniel. 1,309 words (oops). follow up to this piece.

-

When Daniel got back to Monaco and made his way to Max’s apartment he expected – and hoped – for the rather desperate and frantic sex they’d had previously.

For Max to be feral for him – because he always was before – and to drag Daniel to the bedroom and get on his knees for Daniel.

No other alpha he’d ever been with would ever.

But not Max. Max worshiped Daniel’s body and loved to make Daniel come with his mouth only and Daniel was getting very used to the way Max was about him.

Even if he was a bit past his prime omega mating years, Max still was crazy about sex with him and it made Daniel feel pretty good. At least someone still wanted to fuck him.

What he did not expect, upon his return to Monaco, was Max tugging Daniel onto the sofa with him to cuddle and nuzzle his way up Daniel’s neck and against his scent gland. What he didn’t expect was the way Max breathed him in deeply, strong arms squeezing him close.

“Missed you so much,” Max sighed against Daniel’s neck, taking another deep, slow breath. Daniel had at least had the good sense to shower upon his return home and it paid off. Max was scenting him at his purest – freshly showered and clean, no weird airplane smells, no one else in the mix.

Daniel’s tummy swooped a bit in his belly. They were having a great hook-up season together, lots of hot sex, and laughter and jokes and hanging out. Daniel was fairly sure, though, that Max’s youth was a hit against him. Max wouldn’t want to settle down with an omega any time soon, and especially not one nearly 35. If Daniel wanted to have a pup or two he’d be considered high risk, a ‘geriatric pregnancy’ as it was. Max would eventually move on to someone younger, more fertile, who could give him pups and look good and pretty next to Max in the Paddock.

“Glad to be back,” Daniel said, happy to just soak up whatever he could get. He often wondered… hoped… maybe Max would stick this out with him for a few years, at least. Daniel could accept the benefits of being friends with Max and when Max was ready to move on… it’d hurt, it would. But. That’s the way life went and he’d have to accept it.

“Don’t go for so long, again,” Max murmured, dragging his lips across Daniel’s jaw and pressing a little kiss to the corner of Daniel’s mouth.

He’d only been gone ten days.

“Oh Maxy, I’m sure you could have found pretty much anyone ready to hop into bed with you,” Daniel joked, laughter cutting off short when Max pulled back to look down at him laid out on the sofa, deep frown etched in his features.

“Why would you say that?” Max asked, and Daniel’s omega empathy could feel and smell the wave of hurt that washed off of Max. It surprised him, because Max always smelled happy, and warm, when they were together.

“Just a joke, I guess,” Daniel shrugged, a little frown of his own forming. “Plenty of omegas would be glad to help you take the edge off.”

Max paused, pulling back even further to rest his weight on his elbow as he looked down at Daniel. Daniel looked back, feeling Max’s hurt and confusion in a way that was more uncomfortable. He wanted to squirm away.

“Did… were you… with other alphas in Los Angeles?” Max asked, and his voice was small. Soft. Not accusatory but defeated. He wasn’t jealous. He was sad.

Daniel let himself feel Max for a moment, take in the way his scent changed, and his confusion started to bleed into something more hopeful. Daniel had not been with anyone else since he started sleeping with Max a few months ago but he always understood that they had no formal agreement and Max would be free to do what he wanted. Daniel had had a history of sleeping around plenty, but once he started hooking up with Max he wasn’t looking for anything else. Neither was his heart.

“Max, no,” he said, shaking his head a little and reaching up to cup his hand at the side of Max’s neck, thumb stroking gently over the hinge of his jaw. “No, I didn’t. I wouldn’t. I. It’s just been you, since, like, March,” he explained, meeting Max’s pretty blue eyes and trying to gage where Max was coming from.

Max studied Daniel’s face, and Daniel could practically see the gears turning in his head, and then the relief on his features when he understood Daniel was being honest.

“I don’t want any other omegas,” Max offered, shifting again to lay on the sofa with Daniel, tugging him close again, chest to chest as he curled his arm around Daniel’s shoulders. “I only want my own,” he said, squeezing gently. Daniel’s heartbeat picked up in his chest.

“Your own?” He asked.

“You of course are my omega, Daniel,” Max said, leaning in for a little kiss Daniel was happy to receive. “If you want to be,” Max finished, looking back at Daniel again. Daniel could smell the softening of Max’s scent from the sharp worry of before, back to his happy, sated, content scent Daniel was so familiar with.

Daniel swallowed the lump in his throat. This wasn’t what he expected when he returned today. He didn’t expect to get everything he wanted.

“I want to be,” he agreed, shivering a little at the way Max nuzzled back in against his neck to press a kiss to his mating mark spot. He couldn’t help the little moan that escaped him when Max dragged his teeth gently over it – a promise for the future. Daniel would let him do it now, if he was honest.

“Good. I have hoped so since I presented,” Max said and that sent Daniel reeling back, enough to stare Max in the face. Max presented as an alpha shortly after he got promoted to Red Bull. Years, and years ago. “I knew I of course had to wait and become an alpha you’d even consider before I tried.”

“Max, what?” Daniel asks, shock, confusion, awe taking him over.

“What?” Max asks back, and his face is cracked open with delight, a bright smile and laughter bursting out. “Daniel. You of course would never have agreed to be with me when I was nineteen. I needed to of course grow up and work hard to be a good alpha if you were ever going to agree to mate me.”

He says it so matter-of-fact. Like those sentences haven’t sent Daniel for a tailspin, trying to figure out what the hell Max was saying.

Max is smart, though, and Daniel realizes he’s probably right. Daniel wouldn’t have given nineteen year old Max a shot – because of his age, because of his feral inexperience, because of a lot of reasons. Daniel is lost for words for a moment as he processes this. What if he had found an alpha he wanted to settle down with before Max felt he could be the right one for Daniel? What if he’d mated someone, never knowing all along that Max hoped they’d be together. What if Max had to go through that and bury his feelings about it and pretend everything was okay? So many what ifs. Daniel spares a thought to be grateful that that never happened.

“You’re too much, Maxy,” he said, the tiniest little smile on his lips as he leaned in for a kiss. Daniel tucks himself back into Max’s chest and nuzzles in, closes his eyes. He needs to nap off the jetlag and can think of no better way to do it then curled up with his alpha. His alpha.

I finally managed to arrange the time. My boss has been very happy these past few days. He is so excited.

🐰: 🚪

🦁: 😎Surprise?

🐰: 😂 Didn’t I tell you that the video arrived this morning?

🦁: 😐 Can it be the same as me?

🦁: Let me tell you again. Are you surprised?

🐰: Surprise😬 Hahaha

🦁: 🤨

🐰: Let me lie down quickly. I’m exhausted🥱

🐰: it is not as soft as a pillow

🦁: Dislike me

🐰: Lost weight

🐰: I feel sorry for you

🦁: ☺️

🧔‍♂️: There is something....

🐰: I’ll get up first during the break

🦁: Let’s just say it

🦁: Let’s just say it

🐰: 😒

🦁:Okay okay

🐰: back

🦁: Two more turns to tomorrow

🐰: is it interesting?

🦁: Not interesting?

🧔‍♂️: Come on

🦁: Ge! There are so many of them!

🧔‍♂️: You said there are so many people

🐰: No one will save you even if your throat is broken.

There is still a timetable to look at. The little boss is sitting next to him playing with his mobile phone. The big boss is talking about work next to him.

🐰: The back is longer.

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

🦁: itchy

🐰: This wisp is fun

🦁: Oops

I am busy and busy again. I have to stay up late👋🏼

======

Now it’s time to interpret this in our own turtle way. there is no indication here of what day this is that WYB arranged the time to see XZ, but general consensus is this is before XZ’s singapore trip. It’s so cute how WYB is all “surprised?” HAHAHAHAHA! he really got that “i am the surprise” energy going on. How XZ is tired and he is lying on WYB but he is not “soft” cause he lost weight 🥺🥺🥺

There is that part here where WYB is saying that there are so many people. It’s a clue that this is the SG trip cause XZ had a lot of people with him — not just his team.

Lastly, WYB playing with XZ’s long hair 😍😍😍

THIS IS ALL FAKE.

Pile 01

Hey! I hope you're okay. You know, I miss you very much. If only I could back to that day or that version of myself, I would do better but it's too late but not that much. It's like, umm... to boost myself better kind of thought I really miss our moments together, messing with each other and crying like we're in some sort of a movie. This time it's different, it's like I've been consumed to responsibilities and nothing excites me that much. I wanna go back but I can't still, I'm glad I am at a better place financially speaking, spiritually, I don't know I'm not sure but moving this heavy message aside. I hope you're having fun right now make sure that the path you chose is different. I gotta go now, I have a lot of work to do see you again, sometime ❤

🔴 In summary, this one page of my notebook is not enough to say everything she wants to say, If I let her continue I'm afraid it will a whole chapter of a novel lol

🔴 A farm or barn may be significant

🔴 The part where she said different, screams something to me... don't be someone you're not because others their best for you, know when to take it and leave it (e.g in college course)

🔴 I imagined a girl with a long hair, oversized shirt in the rain, laughing her pain to let it go

🔴 She's talkative, my hand hurts writing this hahaha

🔴 You're an extrovert who may be mistaken as an introvert (Oops, I mean you're an introvert and people see you as an extrovert when you're alone, look how I write it wrong here too🤣)

🔴 Majority here seems to be teenagers like me xD

Pile 02

(Trigger warning: mention of sui!c1d3)

Live your life, I'm grateful that I did not t@ke my life (do you have su1cid@l thoughts pile 2?). Bro it's so peaceful to be here, I thought taking my you know will end it but I was wrong, something came to me that stopped me, it was an angel. She was warm and nice (tall too around 5'8, white pale skin color). I think I can't imagine myself to be here if not for her. Now I'm working a normal job with a normal life, enough for me to decide what I want. Ya get what I'm saying? I wasn't planning to have kids, but look! I have one (three or two for some of you). Life's so short and times so fast so keep doing you lad 😉

Peace out! Oh before that, I just want to tell you to don't force anything okay? It'll come, THAT thing so yeah, let's talk again some time 😉

🔴 I feel like majority that picked this pile are dudes (straight but, again take it how it resonates if you're a member of LGBTQ)

🔴 Chill people

🔴 THAT thing may mean a number of things, depending on you it can be your dream, or really THAT sezzz, etc.

🔴 The angel maybe a literal angel, someone you know (e.g friends, family, etc.) or you're future spouse

🔴 I imagined someone with a curly hair light brown and has beared, he's thin but tall, white skin as well

🔴 He's wearing a jacket, white tee, and long pants (pale dark blue)

🔴 You're maybe in you're twenties or turning 30

🔴 Moon in Gemini at 4th House

🔴 For some of you, I'm feeling that your future spouse (especially if they're a girl) have the vibes of the tracks below.

Pile 03

I can't believe I'm already here, I'm so successful! I've got the benz and my Renz (man, dream guy/the one, whatever you call it). You've got the boss energy, trust me the people who helped you. I feel like the richest on the earth hhahah

Keep on going mama, the universe got us! Loyalty! Love yourself and other people and it will get back to you. It may not be exactly as the way you want it but, I promise you and I'm sure it going to be better, the best. You'll get it poppin! Ya know what I'm sayin?😘

🔴 Don't be consumed by fame, be yourself positively.

🔴 Some people here have the "Who you?" tendency in a negative way, please don't be like that. (Who you means treating the people you know as strangers because you have the bag and everything you dreamed of)

🔴 Remember being a bish to others will give you shi* to yourself, and your loved ones, your child may be the one who'll suffer if you don't change it

🔴 Funny people are reading this pile

🔴 Harry styles, love and disco songs maybe you're favorite/topic of your songs

🔴 Influencer, artists, rappers, people of color, rags to riches, attitude

🔴 Neptune in Capricorn at the First House

❤ Thank you! See you on my next post! ❤

💋 Be you, Do you, You are You! 💋

[chin-chilla-7]

hey, I'm the one who requested the falling from a three post hahaha, I read what you send. Here, you can do it with Lucifer, Mammon and Satan. Sorry for not seeing you only allowed 3 earlier. Sending you love <3

Hey anon! Thanks so much for your patience. I was really looking forward to answering this ask for a while, but sometimes writing is hard, y'know? And, the only solution to writer's block is writing so, here I am finally! Answering this ask.

And since it's been a while: here is the original ask. Essentially the request is MC climbs up into a tree, falls, and the brother transforms into their demon form to catch them. I did tweak it so MC climbs a different thing than a tree for Mammon and Satan, but I felt it fit the vibe a little better. All right, let's get into it.

Under read more since some of these got pretty long.

Lucifer

You were certainly an adventurous thing, weren’t you?

It wasn’t uncommon for you to get yourself into silly situations, and usually you did your best to avoid doing so in front of Lucifer’s watchful eye.

Because, really, when he catches you pulling these dangerous stunts, you’re in for an earful

On this occasion, you figured you were by yourself, in the forest behind the House of Lamentation. It was a spot you’ve returned to time and time again. The view of the small pond was gorgeous, the water was always refreshing, and there were some solid trees for you to climb to get a better view.

This visit was no different than any other visit you’ve made down to the pond, not really. You stayed by the water for some time, before deciding to get a better look from one of the trees.

By the time you had made it comfortably in the branches, you heard a familiar voice call out for you.

“Y/N?”

Lucifer’s deep voice resonated throughout the forest as he approached the edge of the pond. A part of you groaned. Great, of all the times he could’ve come, it just had to be now.

“Up here!” you answered, causing the demon to look up at you, his brow immediately furrowing at the sight.

“What are you doing up there? Get down. It’s much too high.”

He almost sounded like a concerned mother. It was enough to get you to chuckle softly to yourself.

“Relax, I’m fine up here, see?” And, of course, instead of coming down like Lucifer had asked, you decided to try to show off, standing up on your branch and maneuvering your way through the treetops.

This, of course, did very little to soothe Lucifer’s concern - not that he’d admit he was concerned - and he followed along beneath you as best he could. “I mean it! It’s not safe.”

“I’m fine- oop! Ah!” As you tried to assure the other, it seemed you stopped paying attention to where you were stepping, missing a branch and losing your footing, causing you to fall down from the trees.

You braced for impact, squeezing your eyes shut and already wincing as you waited for your body to hit the water below you.

But… that never came.

When you opened your eyes, you saw that you were in Lucifer’s arms, noticing that the demon had his wings out for display. Had he… he must have jumped over the water to catch you, using his wings for extra power. If only you didn’t have your eyes closed, maybe then you could’ve witnessed it.

Of course, that wasn’t something you could particularly focus on as Lucifer stared down at you, his gaze both a mix of concern and annoyance.

“I appreciate you falling for me, but I told you you should’ve come down. If you had only listened to me…”

Oh boy, time for yet another earful.

Mammon

You and Mammon were known for getting into trouble

You would take turns as to what exact trouble the two of you would get into

With Mammon, it was always some heist or scam or something for him to get a few quick bucks out of

And he shared some of them with you, of course. Just some

But with you, you liked to explore. See what places you could get into

And that often involved you crawling, snaking, and climbing to get to not so easy to reach places

On this occasion, you and Mammon were at RAD, exploring an old storage room that didn't get much use anymore

You couldn't help but notice the ceiling tiles, the ones in the corner breaking away to offer a perfect spot for you to wiggle and crawl your way through

So, naturally, you did what you could to climb up to reach that spot on the ceiling

And, let's be clear, the ceilings of RAD are quite high, so much so that even Mammon seemed to have apprehensions

"Uh, ya sure you want to get up there? I'm sure there's other place you could climb that aren't so.. high."

But you were certain: "I've climbed trickier things before. Now come on, help me move this," you answered, trying to push an old metal storage shelf towards the corner

Reluctantly, Mammon helped you, lest he stand by and watch you hurt yourself from trying to move such a big thing. He was your bodyguard, he had to make sure you were safe!

Once the shelf was in place, you wasted no time beginning to climb, easily making your way up most of the way to the top

Keyword there: most

By the time you reached close to the top, you hadn't anticipated the way the old shelf was unable to hold your weight. As you stepped onto one of the ledges, the braces snapped, causing you to tumbling back down to the ground

But... no impact came. Instead, you found yourself in Mammon's arms. Well, kinda in his arms and mostly on top of him on the floor. He at least had broken your fall.

As you looked down to him to make sure he was okay, you noticed that he was in his demon form. Poor guy basically got scared into it, concerned for your safety. If you bring it up, he'll blush and look away.

"Yeah, well, don't say the Great Mammon didn't do nothing to care for ya."

You certainly won't

Satan

You're in the library with Satan. A common place for you to be - well, that, and his room. There were just so many books! You loved being able to read whatever whenever.

Today, you were hunting for a book. It was one Solomon had recommended to you, and Satan had tried to help you find it, but it seemed to have been moved from where it usually was, much to Satan's dismay

So, it left you and Satan searching the library top to bottom to find this book. You were willing to let it go, but it seemed Satan was persistent that you get the book you wanted. It was sweet in it's own way

Satan was on one side of the room while you were on another, climbing up one of the ladders in the library in hopes of finding the book on a higher shelf

"What if it's not even here? Maybe one of your brothers took it?"

"I'd be surprised if any of them knew how to read."

"Even Lucifer?"

"Especially Lucifer."

That earned a laugh from you, grabbing onto the shelf to pull yourself and the ladder along the wall. If only the wheel to this ladder wasn't so sticky. It took more than a little force to get it to move, but you were managing. That it, until you found yourself particularly stuck in place

Now, a normal person would've climbed down to move it from the ground, but not you. You were determined to make it move where you were. You gripped the bookshelf, getting as much leverage as you could before pulling with all your might to shift the ladder over

And it worked! Though, it seemed to work a little too well. Maybe you didn't need all your might for it

As the ladder jolted forward, you lost your balance, then your footing, and all you could do with scream in surprise as you fell of the rungs, heading towards the ground

Though, before you could hit the ground, you felt yourself land on something much more... soft. Comfortable, even

You looked to see Satan standing above you, holding you in his arms with a concerned expression on his face

"Are you all right, Y/N?"

"I'm... I'm fine..." you were more stunned than anything. Hadn't Satan been on the other side of the room just moments earlier? How did he get to you so quickly?

Then you noticed his horns. Oh, he had transformed to get to you quicker. How... sweet.

You found yourself blushing, moving to put your feet back on the ground. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry."

"It's all right, but how about next time you move the ladder from the ground?"

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

[c-cw-f-saeko]

tell me your name (tesso and seonhee headcanons 2/3)

they moved out of the way so i could take a picture of mt. fuji -> loose recreation of this image 

hi !! i thought i’d finish this tesso and seonhee (separate and together) headcanon masterpost. it covers their individual backstory, how they met and how their relationship grew.

btw i made another headcanon masterpost about the liumang here �� it wouldn't be a bad idea to read it before this one !

i warn that this is the ultimate yapping session LOL so it's long and very image heavy OOPS! there are more than 30 images, i wanted to add more but will stop there for now. check the bottom of the post for some straightforward headcanons (and a TLDR).

also, please pretend the entire timeline makes sense.....i won't beat myself over ageless characters not fitting 100% with documented events 😭 (imo seonhee is 34 and tesso is 37 currently) nvm my guess for seonhee but tesso is surely 37

also, the two fics i wrote heavily tie to this (don't mind the last one). i won't say you need to read them to understand, but i recommend reading them (BC I COOKED!) it'll be linked when needed.

- wang tielin

not completely accurate because he shouldn't have his scars but i'm too lazy to re-do the texture from scratch... sorry tielin 💔

birth name is wang tielin

born in japan. lived in the countryside with his uncle for the longest he could remember.

vowed to his childhood friend to live on the straight and narrow no matter what (hahaha)

a promise to keep was to become rich and share with their family when they grow up.

went to school just because, but had no plans nor dreams in particular. never stirred trouble.

was always kinda bland, but made an effort to become and dress "cooler" after coming to kamurocho (look at the fit please 😭 it was definitely a phase). this is part of the stuff tesso left behind (including his real name). would've preferred no one he knows today met him during that time.

zhao tried time and time again to make tesso show him pictures of him when he was younger but tesso claims to have none. zhao even got seonhee on the task and was ready to put down a good chunk of cash to make it happen. unfortunately for him, tesso was a nobody that truly came out of nowhere according to the geomijul (seonhee just lied 🤩 sorry tianyou).

-> long before the liumang

he came from some city in the country side where nothing really happens. his aunt and uncle took care of him and sent went to school. he was expected to take on his uncle’s restaurant since he was helping out from time to time and that’s what his uncle wanted anyway. 

how can i put it… as long he found a way to feed himself and have a roof over his head, he didn’t have a goal to attain (like a goal career or whatever). he had no aspirations as in “i guess i’ll live” 😍 

though, he had a close friend called liwei. they spent most of their time at school and outside together doing whatever. unlike tesso, liwei had big dreams of finally making it out go the “boring” countryside and establishing himself in a big city, becoming the wealthiest person of his family to provide for his parents. he had a passion about going to especially kamurocho because it was the complete opposite of their current lives. tesso's response to liwei was mostly -> “i support you!” he kinda admired liwei for having determined ambition. 

-> a bit before the liumang 

though, liwei ended up getting killed because a hit was ordered by a bunch of strangers on seemingly the wrong person. not a lot of clues were left behind, but tesso was adamant about it being a mistake since the two of them always swore on being on the straight and narrow (ironically).

so, tesso decided to leave his hometown in the countryside to find out what happened, who killed liwei and how the mix-up happened in the first place.

it lead him to many big cities (like kamurocho) though he navigated a bit clumsily with his words (talking a bit too carelessly about “i’m looking for such such that killed such and such, not knowing the type of place he was getting into), tesso ends up getting jumped by the local chinese mafia at least twice 😭 the clues he finds leads him into yokohama and bro gets jumped again 😭

all to figure out the true culprit was guys from yokohama's chinatown and going up front to them was the worst idea ever. instead, he joins the liumang (at first for refuge as outsider chinese people were vulnerable to trouble between seiryu/liumang and liumang/chinatown). then, in hopes of giving another meaning to his life and eventually seek justice for liwei’s murder.

-> in the liumang 

won't go too much in detail here, but tesso ends up being recruited personally by zhao as a liumang officer through a fight - given the exploit of him being able to scratch his jacket with his claws (and zhao scratched his face across his nose and cheeks with his sabre 😍)

- sakura, the number one hostess

long ago in kamurocho, seonhee used to be an hostess called sakura. remnants of the jingweon mafia rejected by mainland and local koreans (that later formed the geomijul) survived  the best they could with low-level information dealing. they used cabaret clubs to get info out of the local population. 

moving left and right with her mother, it was lucrative enough for her to be able to fend for the two of them — even if it was temporary, she would be doing it until they’d be able to find some sort of stability. 

eventually, the cabaret club was disbanded due to more prominent gangs taking over kamurocho, basically forcing the geomijul out of the city (to later end up yokohama).

in the move, the geomijul was very unstable; most members falling into despair as they were forced out of of home one more time.

seonhee was one of the few people to step up to rally the remaining people together. if they were wavering in the faith of surviving their predicament, the geomijul wouldn't even survive. she did everything she could to make sure fellow members wouldn't walk astray and find them a new home.

being one of people that proposed lodging the geomijul between the seiryu clan and the liumang and reprise their information dealing activities. it was through her sheer determination and in the success of securing the geomijul in yokohama that seonhee was made leader (despite being that young and a woman) jumping over all the oldheads.

fun fact, after leaving the cabaret club, she vowed to herself to never do that type of work ever again.

- meeting for the first time in kamurocho

bro came dressed like that to the luxury club 😭 first timer spotted!! fresh meat here!!!!!!

one promise he made to himself was to realize one of liwei’s dreams, no matter how futile it was. so, he gathered most of his money and decided to light it up for one night in kamurocho in his honour. he ended up going to the first cabaret club he laid eyes on - the one owned by the geomijul.

given the way he was dressed (lol) and the fact he had never been in the city before, seonhee (the number one hostess at the time) was tasked of  tending his table. she usually handled the most "suspicious" customers. 

that's what she thought at first, but past their initial talk, she really did find out he was just young random dude trying out the cabaret clubs for the first time. 

“is it your first time here?” “yeah, there isn’t stuff like this where i live” and so on. funny enough, he turned the conversation back on her a lot so she could ramble about the city and the type of work she did (life in the countryside is boring and uneventful anyway). it caused her to indirectly talk about the geomijul — tesso couldn’t know, her words still applied to the cabaret club dynamic. “the streets are competitive so we are working hard to stay on top!” and how teamwork was the most important thing at the end of the day, etc.

they had a good time talking and tesso was glad to find out city girls were so friendly. he had the impression that he’d be eaten alive, but he was doing ok so far. 

he touched briefly on the real reason he visited kamurocho (thought to himself it would defeat the purpose to not mention it). though, seonhee was smart to not make him linger on the subject by proposing to toast in his honor. tesso agreed, he was there to celebrate and she had made the right call. 

[sorry for the lack of continuity here but i can't being myself to write more atm. will evetually expand that part into a fic.]

- meeting for the second time in yokohama

tesso was always one of the officers zhao relied on the most. for example, he was leading the men sent by zhao after nanba through the city.

so, after mabuchi's overturned coup-d'etat and seonhee taking over the liumang, zhao named tesso as the most reliable man under him and could definitely provide great support in mending the geomijul and liumang together - zhao assured seonhee she could rely on tesso to bridge the two factions.

seonhee was quick to recognize tesso right away, thinking hard about where she had seen such a familiar face before - and the options were very little. it didn't take long for her to realize that it was the same guy she met at the cabaret club years ago. she thought about playing it cool and pretending they never met before, "he probably forgot anyway" and it's not like she looks exactly the same as she did. but she couldn't really shake off the possibility of him remembering. still, she plays it off in front of zhao

for as long as tesso remembers, the geomijul was a very secretive organization and most liumang didn't even know who the boss was and what they looked like. so he rolled with the assumption of having never met them before. so, of course, when he officially met seonhee for the first time, he didn't recognize her. at least at first 😭

- the underworld post mabuchi

because of fusion of the underworld, there was a lot of re-structuring to (such as combining certain cashflows, identifying businesses to assign new leaders to look after them, etc.) it was challenging especially after mabuchi basically left the liumang in shambles and with a lot of defecting members.

tesso helped out sorting out the mess with seonhee personally; it was easier to go through everything with someone that new the ordeal from top to bottom (thanks to zhao). the little time they had was dedicated to fixing the whole organization. at that time, seonhee relegated a lot of leading responsibilities to joongi while tesso did the same with his subordinates.

that's all it was; hours in a corner of the geomijul (usually in the middle of the night) sorting through hundred of files.

at first, it was awkward. tesso had never seen who led the geomijul before and the reality was very far from this expectations. starting at the fact he didn't even thought the geomijul had a woman at its head because of the rumours running the liumang. a detail zhao never bothered bringing up before they met.

zhao's funky and malleable nature was replaced by something more rigid, stern at times but always stood on business. it was different, but tesso went along with it. her style was definitely gonna bring the liumang and geomijul back on its feet.

still, he spoke to her with the same clumsiness as he did with zhao. distant in his words, just like a subordinate should be to its leader. she didn't mind, especially when she did most of the talking anyway.

that's how their routine was at the start: meet, sort documents, leave — there wasn't anything else more to it.

but, something didn't feel quite right.

the more he heard her talk, the more he was sure to have met her before. the words she used, her tone... it felt so familiar. and he had plenty of time to think about it. there was no doubt, she definitely was that girl from the cabaret club...

he kept it to himself and vowed to pretend he's mistaken. the last thing he could do was to bring it up first and be wrong. he would continue to behave the same as he ever did. given their circumstances, he could assume she had left her old life behind as well.

though, irony seeped from his pores, it was stronger than him. the coincidence was a bit humorous; the two of them meeting again with different names and under these unlikely circumstances. he kept his stun under wraps - or at least tried to.

from lingering gazes when she wasn't looking to the way she held herself, tesso recalled the selfless woman he met long ago in kamurocho. despite the heavy facade she always wore, she played it off well, how, in the midst of her words, always passed others before herself.

even with her bolder style, and it's not like she changed much: she was still as beautiful as ever and had that unwavering aura fit of a born leader.

perhaps, he had made his realization too obvious.

ever since zhao presented tesso to seonhee, she knew they had met before. thus, sat quietly with the intent of pretending she was someone else. however, tesso's demeanour changed out of the blue. he seemed a bit more awkward and careful in his words.

though, seonhee resigned on pretending. "tesso? is that how you call yourself these days?" shortly followed with his real name. she asks, chuckling a bit. perhaps, he could've picked something more subtle. he did abandon his birth name for this alias he wasn't really sure whom give it to him. but it doesn't really matter. it just meant was a completely different man now.

it was a bit ironic; they are able to have to shy laugh about it, the ice is starting to melt between them.

- the bridge between the geomijul and yokohama liumang

overall, the union between the geomijul and liumang was welcome by its members. given the situation they both were in - one left without a leader and the other very vulnerable to outside threats. it was worth leaving residual animosity behind and cooperate for the sake of keeping yokohama safe.

so, antagonists to seonhee taking over after zhao were far and between - mainly geomijul oldheads (like seo hancheol 😍 rip bozo) and the few remaining mabuchi enjoyers (like zheng because yes in this timeline bro didn’t get banished out of yokohama).

so, not only did tesso assist seonhee in the merge of the two groups, but he kinda became for the liumang what joongi is for the geomijul: the first commander under the leader and first rep for the liumang. so, in case of trouble or any reference needed from geomijul members, they could ask him if needed. tesso is known to get along with younger folks (canon) so it helps a lot!

overall, the underworld is structured like this:

- factions subordinates (tesso and the geomijul)

yeona calls tesso liumang oppa 😭 she's the one that got tesso to read manga

i feel like yeona would get along well with these two LOL she can get info on joongi from tesso since they work on another level (joongi hides his cringy side from his subordinates). also, she tends to tease seonhee a bit about not being single anymore 😭 in a little sister-big sister type of way. bc like it's not like they ever announced anything, but yeona just picks up on vibes like that 😭 there's banter between seonhee and her, but it's in good faith!! there are so little women in the geomijul, so yeona made sure to stick with

"seonhee unnie, that's your boyfriend isn't it?" she didn't say that, but her eyes kinda did 😭 yeona always knows when something is up about her big sister. this whole exchange happened while tesso was reading his notes LOL 😭

well kinda... because now that seonhee is taken, han-sama (joongi) can stop worrying about seonhee's relationship status.

- advisor to advisor (tesso and joongi)

"Tha- That's not possible! She couldn't have a boyfriend! Some random man from who-knows-where!?" (direct canon quote istg 😭)

"some random man from who-knows-where" that's literally what tesso was to joongi for awhile. 

of course, he knew tesso was one of the closest subordinates of zhao. but he wanted to dig out his history as much as he could before even asking zhao about it. surprise came when he didn’t find much out of the geomijul surveillance system — there was no way to know for sure how nor when he got in the city. however, joongi was adamant about not asking seonhee about it just yet. 

sure, tesso and seonhee never announced they were together (for a very long time). but joongi picked up the smallest changes of seonhee's demeanour and her mannerisms. she tried her best to conceal it, but nothing went past his eye. and it was very clear to him... seonhee was indeed dating that random man.

at first, it was veiled concern but joongi believed seonhee could do better. he thought seonhee could aim for someone more or at least just as good looking than him (im sorry LOL but exhibit A) and someone as refined as her and not so… contradictory in looks and personality (tesso looks rough with a lot of distinctive features but is rather simple). so, first impression wise, it was off to a rocky start. 

despite being the two most important members of the geomijul and liumang, joongi and tesso didn’t really get along. tesso thought joongi was arrogant and preferred dealing with his subordinates instead (like yeona with whom he was able to work well with). 

“don’t mind han-sama. he’ll get over it eventually…” tesso still has no clue what she means by that

the impression of tesso and joongi not getting along wasn't setting a good example for the fellow geomijul and liumang members. while tesso was unsure about the whole thing, joongi struggled moving on for a bit. even seonhee wasn't sure of what was going on between the two.

it took yeona telling on joongi's business back to seonhee for her to set the record straight. no one knows for sure what she has said, but their short discussion was followed by a shy apology from joongi, blaming the geomijul's eternal lack of trust of others for his behaviour and vowed to be as reliable as ever. actually, that was a move from seonhee where she wouldn't let a reason so petty cloud joongi and tesso's relationship further. it was better if tesso didn't know (lol).......

in joongi's opinion, there was too many red flags or dubious points about tesso and couldn’t figure out where nor when they even met (as seonhee never mentioned him before). so, everything came to him as a surprise. 

deep down, the hurt joongi felt was because seonhee didn’t tell him about it first when they shared pretty much everything. he took it as a sign of being unworthy of her trust. understanding it didn’t come from malice, joongi slowly opened up to tesso - it was iffy at first, there was still moments when he was a bit rude despite him. it took time, but joongi trusted seonhee in her decision and agreed that tesso wasn’t so bad after all (“albeit a bit goofy and doesn’t have a presentation as neat as I do”). all that mattered at the end of the day was seonhee’s wellbeing and she seems happy. bro got over himself…

- relationship ladder

(i'm not gonna extend myself too much on this but) the particular thing about them is how the closer they got, the place to work on business changed as well.

this is the fish shop next to eomoni's vow 😭

it started at the corner of the geomijul but surely became eomoni's vow (which is just my first fic LOL) - right at the time when the city was as calm as ever and the liumang and geomijul were combined together. members were more comfortable walking the streets so the need to remain miles of tunnels under the surface wasn't as needed.

still, they usually met in the middle of the night to work on stuff, but just end up eating and drinking the hours away. they got in the habit of playing mahjong against each-other singing karaoke on rare occasion (amongst other things).

next location is qing jin.

omg bro with the three piece suit 😭

it's upgrade from eomoni's vow since the top floor has a dress code 😍 you have to be put together to get in there so dresses and dress shirts are a must.

tesso debated for awhile before inviting her. it was a bit of a bold move, but he knew qing jin would be more of her taste (more spacious, luxurious and an entire different palate) AND it was still very private.

tesso actually picked the artwork (see the tomato picture below) and the room divider is from lin lin

they went a few times, and that was then tesso told seonhee about zhao's apartment complex and eventually advanced the idea to share a spot there. won't go over the details again LOL but you get the idea 🤩

knowing she'd be coming, tesso leaves her sweets 🥹 he's usually more busy on foot (you know assassination quests 🤩), but will drop by before she does if he has other stuff to do for the day.

seonhee definitely spends more time there since she doesn't have to be out carrying missions out on the streets and enjoys the privacy. it's seemingly normal when compared to the gloominess of the geomijul and restaurant row.

- trip to kyoto

this is basically the fic i wrote last year - tesso and seonhee go on a trip to kyoto. (PLEASE READ IT I COOKED!!! 😭) the fic in a nutshell:

i am kidding of course

despite being a higher ranked officer with more responsibilities, he’s always stuck at the “uhhhh taking some time off like that kinda feels unfair” but was bullied convinced by zhao to take some anyway. yokohama had been peaceful for awhile now and his subordinates could run well without him around for a few days.

so take the bullet train to osaka only to come back three days and four nights later. notably, they visit the nonomiya shrine (the shrine of love woooooooohooooo, no it is actually!), tesso dedicates her a poem and they stay in a machiya.

funny enough, i managed to make 3d models pretty close to the original drawings (iykyk) so it's fun!

pretty!!!!!!!!! 😭

- miscellaneous

funny thing they do -> rock paper scissors and they talk to each-other the native tongue of whoever wins for a day. seonhee tends to win often; she's just built like that.

during yua's first year at seiryo, tesso and seonhee attended the parent-student meeting together in place of her uncle (yua's legal guardian at the time). to meet sawa-sensei (yes she lived).

negative trait

tesso : can be too passive | seonhee : lacks humility

positive trait 

tesso: dependable | seonhee: diligent 

strength against the other

tesso: resistant to dominatrix energy | seonhee: resistant to tianyou

their weakness coming from the other

tesso: her cute mannerisms | seonhee: him calling her a specific petname (b......ba......omg i can't [dies of cringe])

serious complaint about the other

tesso: sacrificing health for the sake of fashion | seonhee: sleeps too little

unserious complaint about the other 

tesso: lacks stamina | seonhee: grandpa mannerisms at 37

random quirk

tesso: can fall asleep anywhere | seonhee: rarely laughs from her the pit of her stomach

karaoke? 

seonhee: enjoys anything from koda kumi | tesso: either tone deaf or decent, nobody knows… won’t do anything more than adlibs

hobby they got because of the other

tesso: skincare | seonhee: gardening

seonhee enjoys growing tomatoes, amongst other things. on his part, tesso grows nappa cabbages somewhere on a rooftop in restaurant row (mostly for kimchi ofc).

hobby they don’t share

tesso: shopping | seonhee: running

hobby they tried together for the first time

dancing (thank you yagami)

seonhee is pissed bc yagami made them do something really hard as a tryout. it's not easy, but it's simple at least so they managed!

thing they do when sick

tesso: eats lemons like oranges | seonhee: drinks tea with every single aromatic she can find (ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, peppercorns, etc.)

last thing they fought about

seonhee being frustrated at tesso’s reluctance to take over the liumang, leading her to talk ill of zhao’s ways of leadership. though, seonhee is too proud to apologize first and they didn’t talk to each other for two weeks. even zhao and saeko picked up on the fact they were kinda avoiding each other. 

one thing they struggled with

(especially tesso at the start) treat each-other on equal footing. he was kinda confused at how to behave, whether to be or to not be subservient, like.....

not that it was his second nature, but that's what he used to for the longest time. so, he didn't mind at all.

seonhee was a bit frustrated at the need to spell it out, but it was better that way. at least, everything was clear between them from that point on.

for zhao's costume party [i'll write about this later? maybe?]

(actually seonhee convinced tesso but) they did matching costumes of leon kennedy and ada wong from RE.

TL;DR: i think there are moments when seonhee shares more of herself to someone on equal footing, moments where she's more vulnerable and has room to step away from her idolized self.

i think there are moments when tesso has to put himself first, moments when he must learn to not overextend himself at his own expense.

despite the unlikely circumstances and complicated conditions, i think they would be able to do that together. tesso and seonhee are polar opposites on so many things and i think they can learn a lot from each-other.

i'll make another post with all different outfits they had soon because the volume of models i made 😭

next headcanon post is either going to be ichitesso on dondoko island or yua.....idk yet........

and yes in my book miku was on dondoko island LOL

and before you ask, yes i smoke crack! thank you for coming to my ted talk!

You have to stop yourself from reading too much into that one.

hihi 😋

but for real I'll do my best! meeting you was really such a gift and i wanna see you again

you're really sweet did you know that?

you're sweeter did you know that?

stahp 🙈

hehe 😋 so how's your book btw! i'm gonna have to sleep soon because i gotta get up early tomorrow so i wanna hear about it before going to bed

so the book is called einstein's dreams and it's basically just a collection of stories. the stories describe worlds where time behaves a little differently in each. it's pretty interesting! and a lot of it is based on real parts of einstein's theories. it really makes you think

that sounds really cool! i've always been interested in science! was just never really good at it 😅

well if you couldn't tell i'm a huge nerd. i'll probably study physics or something at uni in korea

really? i mean yeah i could tell haha but i didn't think you'd actually be studying something like physics. you struck me as more of an emotional and artistic person

well i am! idk about artistic but i appreciate art and music. and the beauty in the world. i think that's why i want to study physics. it's like studying the poetry of the universe

only a huge nerd could romanticize a bunch of math

well math is the language that poetry is written in!

alright nerd let me hear about the actual book now hahahah

sorry hahaha

don't be sorry!! i'm just playing around. i love the way you look at the world 😊

aw thanks 🥹 ok so there's two stories in the book that i really like. the first one describes a world where time passes more slowly the higher up in altitude you go which is technically true in the real world but the effect is a lot more pronounced in the story. so everyone moves to the mountains or builds really tall buildings to live in thinking that they'll live longer as a result. then it becomes a status thing like the people who live in the valleys and lowlands are looked down upon. but the irony is it's all just relative. sure up in the mountains time will pass more slowly but only relative to down in the valleys. they're not really gaining any more time in their lives. in fact their lives become shorter because of the thin cold air up there and they start eating less and become unhealthy and aged before their time. i mean science aside it's just interesting to think about the lengths people will go to to run away from something inevitable then they end up making it worse

wow

there's that wow again 😂 that's all you have to say? i mean i get it i kinda ranted sorry hahaha

no no!! it's really interesting i swear!! you'll have to explain the science to me some other time but what i got from that is we should just embrace what we have now. not try to outrun our lives but just live them in the moment. not lose sight of what really matters

and what's that?

love? humanity? i mean you said it became a status thing. people lost their compassion in their greed for something more. something that wasn't even real

yeah... it's kinda sad to think about. humans can be so kind but also so cruel. i wonder where it all goes wrong sometimes

yeah 😞

but hey i don't think i told you this. do you know what i thought when i first saw you on that balcony last night?

oh what?

i thought you were an angel. a very expensive looking angel 😂

noooo stopppp 🙈🙈🙈

i'm serious tho!! i just knew from your voice and your eyes that you would be the kindest person i'd ever met. and i was right. i love the way you look at the world too

you're too sweet stop it 🥹

alright alright you wanna hear the other story? it's a little lighter than this one hahaha

sure! it'll be my bedtime story

ok so in this world time is like a disc and it gets slower as you get closer and closer to the middle. again this can kinda happen in a way in the real world but that's for some other time. but basically you can walk to the center of time and when you're there time will stop. that means you'd never be able to leave but that moment would also last forever. so lovers would go there and kiss or parents would go with their children and hold them to stop them from growing older. but for people who didn't quite reach the center, just passed close to it, their time would slow down so much that when they got back to the rest of the world nothing would be the same. their friends and family would be gone and cities would be completely different. centuries would've passed essentially. so it's like a risk to get close to the center. but some people choose to do it to treasure specific moments. what would you choose?

oh that one's interesting too!! i think it's kinda similar to the first story tho. i feel like we can still treasure the important moments in our lives without having to freeze them forever and lose other things in the process. live in the moment but not freeze it forever

right? i'm glad we think the same!

me too 😊 hey thanks for sharing all this! i know it means a lot to you and it means a lot to me that you're sharing it with me. i gotta go sleep now but don't hesitate to keep writing your thoughts. i wanna hear them all! i'll reply when i wake up. update me when you're home safe ok?

i will!! thanks for being so sweet hanni! i really appreciate it. good night and sweet dreams!! 💗

good night!! hope you sleep well on the plane ❤️

But you still had so much on your mind. She was the kind of person you wanted to share your whole world with. So even if you did manage to sleep, you knew you'd dream about her. And in your dreams you'd be together, the distance between you reduced to nothing. An airplane on the ground, a hotel room in the sky.

3:47 CET

good morning!! hope i'm not waking you up with the notifs. i managed to sleep quite a bit and i'm listening to your playlist again now. and it's playing airplane thoughts! it's a really nice song and it's really fitting. so in the spirit of the song i just wanted to share some more thoughts with you. i was just thinking about how we were talking last night and the night we met, and how i just feel so comfortable? with you. like i can just be myself and open up completely. i'd usually never do that with someone i just met but you just made me feel at home. so often in my life i've been with people and shared special, beautiful moments with them. like when i would travel and see amazing cities and landscapes with my family, or stay up all night with my friends. but something was always off. i felt like i was the only one feeling that way. the feeling that this moment right here is special and i'll remember it for the rest of my life. i knew they didn't understand that feeling or treasure that moment in the same way. but somehow just a few hours with you sitting in front of a cathedral in milan i knew you understood me. you made me feel like a different person. or rather the person i always was underneath the facade i put on for people. so i hope you understand why i keep saying that our first night was so special to me and why i keep thanking you for it. it was so important to my life right at that moment. i'm just happy you're here. that's all

5:32 CET

hey good morning!! ❤️ you know the reason i love music so much and i guess why i'm a singer now is because i feel like there are too many emotions in this world and not enough words to express them. often i find myself feeling a certain way but not being able to describe it. then i listen to just the right song and i think yeah that's it. that's the feeling. i think music and art in general is just the language we need to overcome that gap. so when we shared our music that night, and knowing that you're listening to and enjoying the playlist i made for you now, i knew i felt something special with you. when i looked into your eyes i knew you felt it too. that connection. just the way you described it. so i'm happy you're here too ❤️

i don't think i've ever cried this high up above the ground before

oh hey you're awake! sorry huhu didn't mean to make you cry but tbf you made me cry too just now. and i just woke up!! i can't have swollen eyes for the show today 😅

omg i'm so sorry!! hahhaha

you should be landing soon right? have they served breakfast? lunch? idk time zones are hard

yeah they did! breakfast was soooo good! korean food is amazing. like even in planes it's great

welllll you're in business aren't you?

oops 🙈

that explains some of it 😂 but yeah korean food is so good!!

you gotta send me all your food recs!! i'll check them all out when i can

sure sure!! but i gotta get ready first. i have a quick shoot in my hotel room before the show. i might do a phoning call later when i'm done with it. it'll be quick but maybe you can join in!

sounds good! time to meet all my fellow bunnies 🐰

go get some more sleep! or not actually maybe it'll be better for your jet lag to wait until later

yeah i've slept enough. have fun today hanni!! see you later on phoning 📱

see youuuuu!! take care!

As soon as you cross the threshold at immigration and enter Korea once again, the thought crosses your mind that in a few days she'd be here, too. And the hope that you'd have more nights together enters your heart.

12:30 CET/20:30 KST

hey can i just say you looked amazing!! an angel fr

nauurrr 🦭🦭

hahaha why the seal?

sorry that's just the emoji i've been using for myself lately hahah

22:34 CET/6:34 KST

hey i'm on the plane now. gonna try and sleep. just wanted to let you know that i'm thinking about you! hope you're sleeping well and beating jet lag 🥊

13:28 KST

heya!! sorry i've been in and out of sleep. jet lag sucks. but hey at least you're here!

i am here! 😊 when i get home you wanna call? maybe after dinner?

at this point idk when dinner's gonna be. but yeah sure i'd love to!!

yaaay

did you dream of anything?

it was more remembering than dreaming. i remembered our time in milan. how we talked about quickly passing by people and realizing that there's so much more going on in everyone's lives beyond what we can see in those few seconds of eye contact

sonder

yeah! and i thought that, knowing that fact, why aren't more people kind and thoughtful? compassionate. i mean most people are polite but there's a step above that that's rare to see. if we let it really sink in that we don't have a lot of time with people and life goes by so quickly, why shouldn't we try to be the kindest and most genuine versions of ourselves all the time? i'm not saying that that's who i am but it's who i want to become. and talking with you i feel like that's what you want too?

i think i'd always had that in the back of my mind but i'd never really articulated it to myself. but after i met you and now that you've said that, yes that's what i want. i want to at least try. thank you for showing me that part of myself ❤️

i'm glad i was able to 🥰

i used to think a lot about love and relationships. i mean i still do. and not just romantic ones. i remember thinking at some point that all relationships eventually fade or people move on and that i'd be better off focusing on myself, on my career. i thought i'd rather live knowing that i was really good at something, like you are at your job. i thought i'd rather live knowing i excelled at something people cared about. maybe i was scared of really opening up to someone and sharing my entire life with them only for them to leave and forget about me. but you helped me realize that that's ok. you said that as long as you had a true connection with someone, even briefly, that there's beauty in that. and that really stuck with me. it is all about connection. at the end of the day that's all we really need right? to love and be loved

yeah isn't everything we do in life an attempt at being loved a little more? i mean sometimes i feel this pressure as an idol to be a perfect role model for others, especially to other girls my age, and there's a certain responsibility that comes with that. i want to show them that you can achieve your dreams if you try hard enough and you don't really need anyone else. but then i realize that i'm doing this job because i love making music, spreading love in the world, and receiving it back. we do kinda need each other in the end cuz that's what being human is i think

yeah it definitely shows that you love your fans! and they love you just as much

i remember too when you asked me if i believed in a higher power. i said i thought the universe had some way of bringing the right people together at the right time. like you and me that night. but i also believe that there's magic when they form that connection. when they reach out like you did. being at the same place at the same time is one thing but attempting to get to know each other is another. if there's any magic in this world it's in trying to really connect with others and getting to know them. sharing the world and your experiences. even if it doesn't always work out, it's about the attempt. if we don't try things in life then what are we really doing right? you helped me realize that

you must really be an angel hanni idk what else to say

no i think you are!! ❤️

❤️ i'm so happy we helped each other see things we couldn't before. i mean maybe they were things we already knew in our subconscious but never properly thought about but still. you're such an inspiration! i think your job is perfect for you. the world needs someone like you

aww thanks ❤️ i'm crying again hahaha

me too lmao

i'll go wash up before people think i'm weird 😅

alright text me when you get home! looking forward to our call!

same same! see yaaaa 🥰

baiiiiiiii 💓

21:56 KST

An evening in Korea. Another night of hearing her voice. You pick up the phone.

Hey! How are ya! How was dinner?

Hi hi~ I haven't eaten yet. Appetite is nowhere to be found. I'd much rather talk to you anyway.

But you should eat something before sleeping at least! Don't want you getting hungry in the night.

Don't worry. I'll eat some ramyeon or something.

A pause. You hear her breathing for a brief moment.

It's funny hearing your voice again. Like, all this time reading your messages, I was just imagining your voice in my head, remembering it as it was when we met. But now through the phone it's not the same.

Better than nothing!

Oh, yeah! It's nothing bad. It's just funny.

Another pause. Almost awkward silence until she speaks up again.

I was thinking earlier about what you said about stars the other night. How we're all just stardust.

Yeah!

I still think that's really cool. Then it got me thinking even more that we're all just made of matter. Like atoms and molecules. Please don't laugh at me. I feel like you're about to laugh.

I'm not! I'm not!

Ok, good. But, yeah, we're all the same! Just atoms and molecules. Just like everything else in the universe. Doesn't that make you feel warm and fuzzy? Like, we're all some kind of huge family with everything that exists. And we're all 13 billion years old. Or whatever the number is.

I bet you looked up the age of the universe earlier.

I may have.

For the first time you hear her laughter through a small phone speaker. It was still just as sweet.

Hey, I miss you.

You hear nothing over the phone for a few moments before she responds with something you did not expect.

Funny, isn't it? How, in this digital age where everything's connected, you still find yourself missing people.

Yeah. You'd think you wouldn't be able to miss anyone but...

On the plane, when I closed my eyes to sleep, I could hear your voice. I think it's nice to know that you can just close your eyes and think about those you love, those special to you, and know they are real, alive, hopefully happy, in their own corner of the world, whether it's down the street or across the planet, and know that if they're closing their eyes and thinking the same, you're together in that moment.

That's a really nice thought.

But it isn't the same as having them near, knowing they're right there beside you under the same roof, under the same sky, under the same stars. It's not the same as just being able to turn to them and smile. To be able to hug them and laugh with them and hear it unfiltered in your ears. To be able to say things with your presence that words could never convey. I think we all need that closeness as humans. I think that's why we miss people. And why I miss you, too.

Stealing your Heart ! , With Alban Knox

Warning !

Fluff ; Alban keeps on Teasing you ; Friends to Lovers ; Established Relationship at the end ; Accidental confession

A/n : Oh finally, I wrote for my 2nd Oshi in Noctyx. Oop.

➶◜◝➴

"Hey hey, (Y/n). Look at this."

How long has he keep on pranking you today? You don't know, but you couldn't stay mad at him. Your sneaky Phantom Thief friend, always make you laugh with him. He have his own way to make you not stay mad at him for long, and right now you know very well he's gonna prank you again.

But you followed him anyway, you're both currently playing Minecraft together. Alban currently on a goofy mood, and you just oblige on doing whatever he wants. Since you, also in a goofy mood too.

And a few minutes after, as you guessed, following Alban in Minecraft leading you to your character dying. And then the call is filled with you and his laughter, "HAHAHA, I GOT YOU, OH- look what do we have here.." he said. As he moved his Minecraft character to your stuff, letting him grab your valuables.

"Don't you dare, Alban." You threatened jokingly, making the thief snickered. "Wanna Bet?" He asked as you saw his character holding, a familiar item in his hand. "Oh no you don't." You said as you immediately rush your character to Alban's, "HAHAH, GOOD LUCK CATCHING ME-"

. . .

After a good 2 hours, of pranking each other and laughing at each other's stupidity. You both finally decided to have a chill in Minecraft, or so you thought,

"(Y/n)," The Phantom Thief called, you hummed in response. "Look at me," he said as he constantly spamming crouch button, "Mhmmm, whaaat?" You said as you look at him.

There's a moment of silence of you both staring at each other, "Okay now what?" You asked making Alban cracked. "I know you like me" he said jokingly, making you sat there speechless. Staring at the screen where Alban's character stood in front of you, jumping around you.

A minute have goes on, and you still haven't said anything. "Hello? Anyone there?" Alban asked as he hits your character, "Ow- hey don't hit me-!" You said as you move your character away. "Then why are you so silentttt" he asked as he followed you, "Oh, is it because you-

. . .

Wait, you.. actually like me?" Alban clicked from the way you went silent after he joked about you liking him, "No! I don't." You lied. But of course he's not convinced, "Are you sure about that." He asked, you hummed. Trying to sound convincing enough for him to stop asking you about it, him noticing that you sounds like you don't want to talk about it he decided to let it go.

. . .

After playing with him for awhile, you both stopped playing and decided to have a little chat before going off. Everything was okay and fun until you remember about what happened in the game you both played, Minecraft.

"I know you like me"

Does he really? But it sounded like a joke when he said that. Maybe you shouldn't think too much about it, but how? When it's the truth. You like him, you do. You want to be his partner, his lover. If that's possible.

And now here you are listening to him talking, while you are also busy thinking about how to confess to him.

"And then- .. (Y/n)? You're silent again, you okay there? Helloooo?" He tried to get your attention, "Mhmm.." you replied unconsciously.

"Are you okay? You've been spacing out quite often these last few minutes even when we played, you know you can go take a rest if you're tired right? Don't force yourself.." Alban said, and at that exact moment you are silent again. Making him more worried, until you spat out three words—

"I like you."

"...huh?"

You didn't even realize you said that out loud, while the man himself is literally calling with you. "You what-" Alban asked in shock. "That's not suppose to happen--" you said as you bury your face in your palms, "Wait wait wait---" he said cutting you off.

"You, like me..?" Alban repeated, making you softly groaned at your own stupidity for saying that three words out loud. "(Y/nnnn)" he called you, "Hmm..." You replied with a hum. "You really, really, like me? Romantically? More than a friend??" Alban repeated his question again. You took a deep breath, and bit your lower lips.

"Y-Yeah.. I, Like you.., Alban. More than e friend.." You hesitantly repeated your confession, Alban went quiet for a moment. The next second you heard shuffling from his side, and then the next second you heard a scream or is it a squeal? You can't tell. It made you jumped a little, this made you question is the confession you did is a good thing or not.

"Alban?" You softly called out to your Phantom Thief friend, "Yeah! I'm okay! Totally fine!" He replied a little bit screaming since he's a bit far from the mic. And the next moment you heard another shuffling from Alban's side, "Are, you okay, I shouldn't have said it yet aren't I-" "NO! NONONO- No, I was, just shocked that's all.." Alban cuts you off again. "I kinda want to see you now.." he whispered, making your face grew hot.

"I- I mean, we can plan on a off collab..! If, you want of course.." You replied, "Yeah! Let's plan one, I want to see your face as I express my feelings too." He said oh-so-casually like it's nothing. "Huh? Wait-" "OH WAIT NO, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I SHOULD SAY YET-" Alban panicked, "GAAAHH- Ahem-! Uhhh, So-" He tried to change the topic. "Wait no, I can't escape this..." He whispered to himself, and then he cleared his throat.

"(Y/n).. I Like you too, do you, want to be my partner in crime?" He asked you, making your heart flutters at his confession. "Y-yeah.. I want to be your partner in crime." You accepted him, if only you're there by his side.

You could see he is smiling so brightly, face a bit flushed. "Thank you for accepting me.., I can't wait to see you!! Can't wait to hug you too.." he said making you chuckle, "Yeah me too.. so should we plan it next week or?"

"Yep, definitely next week. I want to see my partner in crime. Pepper them with affection!"

"Alban!"

"Hehehe"

Your Phantom Thief friend is now Your Partner in crime, Your beloved Phantom Thief who stole your heart.

He is yours,

And you are his.

©fakesimp

A/n : Alban gonna take 2 weeks off, I hope he takes a good rest, honestly gonna miss him (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

I already miss him, dang.

I suppose to post this when my previous writings reached 100 notes, but i don't wanna leave this hanging out in my draft so.. (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠)

Silvio: What the fuck is this?

Clavis: I thought you'd never ask! See, Cyran? Slapping pictures into peoples' faces works every time

Cyran: I would be concerned if it didn't...

Silvio: *rubbing his red forehead* You got five seconds to explain this bullshit before―

Clavis: Oop~ No need for threats. We're all friends here, hahaha!

Clavis: As you may have heard, my estate has started producing bottled spring water as of late

Clavis: Due to the horrific epidemic of how parched throats become at the sight of my unparalleled beauty

Clavis: I don't wish for anyone to succumb to dehydration on my account, you see

Silvio: *scoffs* Seems like a 'you' problem from where I'm standin'. Ever thought of making yourself ugly? I got a boot primed for kicking the beauty out of every―

Clavis: Oop! *smacks Silvio with the picture again* Apologies, my hand slipped, hahaha

Silvio: You're damned lucky I ain't got a kicking reflex like a horse

Cyran: Would you like to learn? I can teach―

Clavis: *smacks Cyran with another copy of the picture* Ahaha, silly me and my butterfingers

Clavis, drenched in lake water: Anyway, allow me to finish regaling you while Cyran fetches a towel and reflects on assisting a foreign prince in the public execution of his Beautiful Employer

Silvio: You ain't dead

Clavis: *smiling serenely* I'm dead inside from the betrayal

Clavis: So, as I was saying. We started manufacturing these water bottles, but we needed some way for people to understand how big they are

Clavis: Enter Brilliant Idea, stage-left

Clavis: Have you ever wondered how many princes tall a thing is?

Clavis: Hahaha, I'm sure we've all wondered this at one point or another

Silvio: ???

Clavis: So I've done everyone the favor of mass-manufacturing our likenesses into an intricate set of clear, acrylic―

Silvio: I got just one question. Two, actually

Silvio: Is there one of me?

Clavis: Naturally!

Clavis: Ah. Cybird is a subsidiary of Lelouch Enterprises

Silvio: *struggling not to cry or kick Clavis back into the lake*

Silvio: And does that eyepatch bastard know you've sheared him in half?

Gilbert: *omniscient voiceover* Hehehe. What makes you so sure that all of you aren't having this conversation in the Afterlife?

Clavis: *serene smile* Told you I was dead

Emma: Ignore him. He doesn't care if you insult him, so long as you don't insult me

And that is why there is no Emma acrylic stand in the Nadema shop. The end.

TOJI IDEAS????:?:?;!;!!;!;!4):?:

don’t mind if i do (its kinda long OOPS) i love my favorite deadbeat

this idea’s been marinating in my head for months now but basically bodyguard ish au, reader is a super popular exotic dancer (less stripper esque work and more like belly dancing/pole work— she can command the room with her dancing) and she works for an agency, she works all sorts of gigs from casual club nights to high profile parties and everything in between. she’s passionate about her craft and will always keep her front up as a performer. one night coming home from a gig she was almost assaulted/mugged. person got away yada yada and turns out the person targets street workers/entertainers, she plays off being okay but she’s not, since the person got away she’s been obsessed with trying to find out who it was and getting justice for herself and others but the entire situation has fucked with her big time but again she plays it off like she’s okay when she’s not.

her agency hires toji who’s an ambiguous freelancer (I wanna keep his mercenary skills in this bc why not lolz) and basically he’s working for the money, reader’s annoyed that she has a babysitter when she doesn’t need one— he uncovers her self destructive means of justice for herself and he offers to help but like obviously not bc he likes her or anything (he definitely likes her)

you have no idea I’ve wanted to yap at someone about this for ages but uni’s beating my ass 😭😭

hahaha no that’s so fair - you know I’ve gotten a few exotic dancer!reader requests and I’m all for it but I know so little about that line of work, I wonder if I could do it justice 😭

I love the idea of bodyguard!Toji though ugh - he would be so good because he would hate it but do it for the money haha — and it would just be such a haters to lovers relationship—

what do you guys think 🫣🫣 maybe if any of you can help me feel out this idea, I’ll think about it more 🥹

[F4A][Upperbody & Foot Tickling][Femdom][Light Humiliation][Poppy's Ultimate Lee Fantasy] Your Partners Watching

Too bad sweetie, I'm not going to stop tickling you. I'm loving this far too much, and from the looks of it, so is he.

ITHIS IS AN 18+ BLOG AND THIS IS NOT FOR MINORS

Wakey wakey Poppy... Looks like I've caught you. Don't you look cute all spread out, trapped and tied in my little web of fun here. Hehe, don't look so nervous. It's not like we're alone in here, you and I. Look around... OOH, do you see him now? There he is~ look familiar?? Hahaa! Doesn't he look so sexy standing like that in the X frame, locked over in the corner of the room.

👋 Hiya sweetie, look whose up! 👋

I know he looks a bit sweaty and um a little *EHEM* stiff over there. But thats only because my fingers had been tampering with him until you were ready to stoop up out of that slumber. So I think its somebody else's turn for some attention. And I think ALL eyes are going to be on you this time, hehehe!

So, are you going to try to tug down those outstretched arms as I'm straddling your waist? Te-he, oh oohh!! A bit flinchy when my FINGERS start to prod at those sides. Hahahaha! Mhmm, isn't this fun? That cute laugh of yours echoing off the walls.. Hmm, I think I need to count ribs and check to see if they're all there...

1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. Oh wait, maybe it should be.. 2.. 4.. 6.. 8.. 10..? How many are there supposed to be, 14? I don't know, I dropped Anatomy class. Better count again, 2.. 4.. 6.. hmm hmmm.. hm hmmhhmm.~ HIP CHECK! Hehe found them, quite ticklish here too! Aww are you blushing already? Oop, looks like his face is red over there too. But thats for a completely different reason isn't it? Still kinda 'standing stiff' over there huh? You like watching me tickle her? You do? I think he does Poppy. Lets give him a show.

I'm just gonna make myself comfortable down here, and put your right foot in a bit of a head lock. Now I want you to do something. I want you to look at him, and I'm going too as well. But I don't want you to look away, no matter how BAD it tickles. Okay? One, two.. HAHAHA, Errrr!! I got your foot!~ Yeah? Hehe. Curling your toes isnt gonna work, nm-hm, not with me. Having my long sharp nails draw along these cute wrinkles. So delicately tracing each and every crevasse on your foot. Look at you two look at each others, who's enjoying this more him or YOU!? Haa!!

Don't break eye contact. Don't break eye contact. Don't bre- *nomnomnom* hehehe, aww can't handle a little toe nibbles? I didn't know you could scream that loud? *nomnomnomnom* Aww-haha, is that too much? Too bad sweetie, I'm not going to stop tickling you. I'm loving this far too much, and from the looks of it, so is he. How does this sound, I'll stop when he goes limp, okay? Hahaha, it might be awhile!

Lets see, is that neck up there ticklish? Now lets migrate up there and see, let my fingers marinate against your collarbone a bit? Mmhm, thats it, giggle for me. I can get a much better look at those tears from up here. I wouldn't take my eyes off of you either if I were him. Are your ears ticklish? Would you rather me tickle there or have me coo at them some more?

Haha, aww alright. Breath breath. I don't want to wear you out so quickly now do I? You lay and rest for a moment, I have him to keep my fingers busy. Oh yoo-hoo~ Boy Toy! Did somebody miss my fingers making them cackle like a little girl? Don't think I've forgotten about you. Those underarms have just been screaming my name since they left havent they? Hahahaha..!

Look at you dance, how precious. Ooh, theres just soo much ticklish skin to ground here. Hmm, I know. I've got a little idea. I think... I need to make a few phone calls. How do you like the sound of watching me and some friends gang tickle your partner while she's all tied up over there? Don't worry, I'll make sure someone's here to play with you too. Think she's listening over there? Haha, I think so, just look at her glistening with excitement.

Don't worry you two, I'll be back with reinforcements. Don't go anywhere!~

So I uh. I have DIED. Holy shit @prettymeredith you are a QUEEN

MASTERPOST

Today, MJ's back and we get some revelations. Also, a wedding!

ASM 256 starts with a long battle where once again, Felicia takes pictures until she gets fed up and uses her powers. It's fun to see her powers, but otherwise, nothing new on the horizon.

Later, Peter finds his spare red-blue costume and wonders if he could ask his costume to look like it... but no, he can't dwell on his past.

Oops, the symbiote seems to not take kindly to someone suggesting it gets a bit more colorful. So it's clear that it takes Peter out on nights to prowl. And that night, it's the second time Spidey interferes with the Rose's business, which leads to one thing: he calls for Puma's help. He's basically Kraven.

Love those panels. Also love these two guys.

At the Bugle, Robbie tells Peter that he can't coast on the public's interest in photographs of Spider-Man forever. We know how that goes. Then, suddenly...!

Love her!

Her new gig calls for a party, but Peter's exhausted and declines. MJ asks Betty what's up with that...

This issue has nice panel work, by the way.

Spidey hurts his arm as he avoids the projectile.

Oh, I can feel the edginess, like those 3 random issues recently with a lot of blood. Not sure I like it. In the comments, someone says the arm thing has stayed in their mind for a long time, I can see why. It's kind of out of nowhere.

In #257, Felicia intervenes and quickly gets rid of the Puma. Peter's still hurt, however, and they get home. For a moment, the costume doesn't obey Peter's command...

Felicia's all of us, hahaha. She says he really should go see Reed Richards like he said he'd do.

Elsewhere, Fisk's unhappy about the Rose (his subordinate)'s decision to confront Spidey and calls for a meeting.

...Or the animal? Peter's kind of a jerk, that was never an issue before.

Felicia leaves, and just as Puma approaches Peter's flat (uh-oh), MJ arrives.

It's a bit chaotic. Just as Spidey manages to throw him and Puma out the window, MJ barges in again.

Elsewhere, Fist's meeting with the Rose gives us the opportunity to stare at his magnificent body.

He makes it clear that Spidey must not be harmed.

The fight continues and we get the same extremely repetitive exposition. I wonder when it will stop.

Eventually, Puma leaves and he later gets a visit from the Rose's partners-boyfriends, who tell him he has to stop. Puma's relieved.

But it's not the end, because the Hobgoblin's back and ready to help the Rose.

Change into his civvies?? The costume does it for him! A slight proof that the writer is on autopilot.

Upset, MJ confesses to Peter that she knows his secret.

By the way, I love this new logo we got going on.

In issue #258, MJ explains she left NY because she couldn't handle being so worried about Peter.

Then Felicia barges in, because of course she does. Oops.

Felicia, girl, calm down. But Peter suffering is a joyous sight, so let's take it in. It's now more clear than ever that Spidey/Black Cat won't last much longer. I wish it had actually been more dramatic, because as it is, MJ isn't given many pages...

Bahaha, she gets right back in his arms.

Meanwhile, Puma prepares for his rematch with Spidey, and MJ gives us her backstory.

Ooooh.

Oh this is great. Very meta but also canonically true. And on-page, the symbiote takes possession of Peter.

It clearly doesn't know about recommended sleep conditions. And oh boy, does Peter dream.

I'm pretty sure there's a similar scene in TAS. But the sky is pink there, it's better.

Given that last panel, I'm fine with Peter's new choice of underpants. And Peter fiiiiinally goes to Baxter Building.

Because we need three fight scenes in each issue, we get one where the Hobgoblin proves he's the real deal to the Rose. It also helps reestablish him, of course.

And finally...

Oops.

The symbiote resolutely refuses to separate itself from Peter, but Reed uses his sonic blast to get it off him.

There's a "Kick me" sticker behind his back, hehe.

Spidey stops a crime in this suit and gets harassed by journalists wanting to know who he is. Interesting to see how the public's perception of super-heroes has evolved.

In Reed's lab...

What a great concept.

Meanwhile, MJ visits Peter. She's ready to tell him about her past.

In annual 18, that I'm skimming through, Jameson and Marla Madison get married! Nice.

PETER KEEPS KISSING MEN.

Jameson goes to visit his son to a care facility, and John is not happy about the wedding. I'll be honest, I don't know what's going on with him ever since he disappeared from that big bridge. Meanwhile, McGargan (The Scorpion) escapes from prison and captures John, Peter's the only Bugle employee to not have received an invite, and Ned's back.

Oh...

Anyway, action ensues, John sees that Jonah and Marla would do anything for each other, and he decides to intervene.

Ooooh...

Love this. And of course, Jonah asks the Scorpion to kill him.

Spider-Man intervenes, naturally.

This is very much "dad talks to his gay son" talk.

This is nice.

hoping that tumblr will let this post go into the tags if i just do a plain text post and that i do not need to try reposting this a fourth time. anyways kiyotaka birthday tweet time!!!! i think this is the first time i’ve posted a translation for an ishimaru birthday tweet? i think i meant to translate last years and started but never got around to finishing, oops….BUT i did do this one in a very timely fashion! if only because this one amused me too much to let it sit too long. here’s the link to kodaka’s original tweet.

disclaimer, i’m not fluent in japanese, so i’m not claiming that this is perfect or potentially not without misunderstandings. i’ve also included some translation notes to clarify some things that i felt needed clarification and to offer explanation as to why i reached the conclusions that i did.

i’ll also have everything under the cut for easier accessibility! i rushed a little to try and get this done in one sitting, so please feel free to point out if there are any major errors.

a fun? fact related to this year's birthday tweet that i would be remiss to leave out, a number of fans pointed out that the book shown as one of the gifts this year is a book on making friends. do with that information what you will.

「ん？誰だ、こんな物を学校に持ってきたのは！？ Hm? Who brought this stuff to school!?

ダメじゃないか、処分対象だぞ！Isn’t this not allowed? This is subject to punishment! **   

え？これは僕へのプレゼント…だって？ What? This is a present for me…?

そ、そうか…ならば、処分を受けるのは僕という事だな。I, I see…if that’s the case, then I’m the one who will receive punishment [for this].

これはありがたく受け取って僕のモノになった訳だからな！ Therefore, I will accept these things with gratitude! ***

そうだ、確か兄弟が追試を受けると言っていたな…うむ！That’s right, if I recall correctly, Kyoudai said he was going to take a supplementary examination…yes!

2人で追試を受けるのも悪くない！ It’s not bad [idea] for the two of us to take a supplementary examination! ****

いや、むしろ休みにも関わらず学校で学べてお得だな！はっはっは！」 No, rather, it is a bargain deal to learn at school even though it’s a vacation. Hahaha!

//

** This line is a little weird, since there’s probably a few ways to take it. The first part, ダメじゃないか, could probably also be taken in a way to mean “Isn’t this pointless?”, but since Kiyotaka doesn’t actually realize that these are birthday presents at this point, it seems like the wrong way to take it. The second part, 処分対象だぞ, could also be understood along the lines of “It should be disposed of.” I was tempted to translate it this way because I am fairly certain Kodaka has written a similar remark in a Kiyotaka birthday tweet before, but punishment felt more in line with how I interpreted the first part. Additionally, due to the later line being more explicitly about punishment, it seems like it would be incorrect to translate this part any other way. *** Some of this doesn’t quite translate smoothly because it’s not something that can be translated exactly, but the general gist of it is supposed to be understood that Ishimaru is expressing gratefulness for the gifts. I think it’s supposed to be understood as ‘I am taking the punishment over this’ >> ‘Therefore, it is only right that I accept the gifts’ because some of the grammar indicates this is supposed to be his logic/reasoning, but again, this isn’t something that is easy to translate across. 

**** The wording here is a little vague, so while I went for what I thought is what the intention was, I think it might mean more so in the sense of taking the exam [as well] instead of taking the exam [together].

I have. SO many thoughts about your Spider-Man au. First of all, I don’t know how much or how long you’ve watched slimecicle, but as I long time frequent viewer I can tell you he is DEEPLY unhinged. He makes a fantastic villain whenever he sets his mind to it. Which brings me to my point - you’ve mentioned slime living in fear of his lack of control over venom. I think you could break slimecicle into two pieces - Charlie, his civilian identity, and Slime, his symbiote. Together they make slimecicle. Charlie brings the puns, the humor, and the lightheartedness to their hive mind. Slime brings the violence, the territorialness, the disregard for human life. Combined it means that slimecicle cracks cannibal jokes before he eats people and stalks those he cares about. I think he would be all in on the cannibalism. He’s disturbing not by being scary but by being silly and normal even as he eats people. Becomes obsessed with Spider-Man. Some guy hurts the spider real bad and slimecicle tortures and eats them. I just think he should be demented and unhinged! He offers to eat Juanaflipa’s bullies. When him and Mariana find out each other’s identities and split ways he stalks him to make sure he’s safe. Maybe he even killed someone before the symbiote. He’s a fucked up silly little guy. Take this with a grain of salt if you want these are just my thoughts! I just think he should hive mind and be creepier. And that he’d be into the murder thing.

Answer got too long so I have to hide it under the cut again whoooooooo also there’s a poll at the end

Charlie definitely gets unhinged but only really after Juanaflippa dies because that’s when he stops holding back Venom/Slime from going on a rampage- as time goes on and his issues remain unaddressed the line between Charlie the human being and Slime the symbiote becomes blurred. Before he’d make more of an effort to “mask” anything out of the ordinary (with varying success) but post-Flippa’s death he rolls with the horror more instead of covering it up, e.g. “That was just a very large dog, don’t worry about it hahaha” vs “yes, I just ate a man- I skipped breakfast, we all do it.”

Charlie indulging in more “monsterous” habits and the symbiote Slime forming genuine human connections with those around it (Mariana & Juanaflippa)! So when Mariana and him “split” after her death, he justifies following him around because he want to keep him out of similar danger, and it’s fine because Venom/Slime is helping. Before he would catch sight of Spider-Man and adore him as a symbolic figure to what Charlie could never amount to, now he follows Mariana out of desperation for losing all he used to have (but simultaneously cannot confront Mariana in person because then he’d have to face a whole other can of issues relating to Juanaflippa’s death).

Charlie definitely considered eating Juanaflippa’s school bullies at one point but never brought it up to her because he was under the impression she didn’t know he was possessed by a man-eating symbiote lmaooo

Also you make a good point of making Charlie creepier! I considered indulging into some body horror when I first started this au but figured that would scare people off so I kinda forgot about it 💀 like “oops I grew a second mouth” and then vomits a skeleton hahaha and how an alien species attaching itself to his body could make him feel like his body isn’t his own anymore but the host of a being out of his control and comfort :)

On a side note he would 100% crack a pun before killing a man (I’m just not good at puns so imagine a really funny one rn) and nom

Accept this doodle as thanks for the brain rot I will continue to think of these dumb idiots whom I love
