hmmmmmmmmmm

[arolesbianism]

Started a white 2 randomizer playthrough for so reasons and I just got so jumpscared by a random shiny gulpin so guess Haruka is a gulpin now

[nanamivnemesis]

WxS on a road trip headcanons:

•Driving Priority order:

-Nene

-rui

-tsukasa

-Emu

(Rui and tsukasa can be switched)

-emu is not usualy the one to drive, she’s definitely capable of it and has her license but the group is terrified she’s going to zone out and they will cruise into a ditch when she’s unmedicated. (I believe theirs is thoughts of war behind those big void eyes and therefore she’s the second most dangerous behind rui)

-Nene can drive and usually doesbut she much rather play games and nonverbaly observe conversation, if the others get to tired she’s fine with taking over for a bit, and when she’s down rui usually takes over for her

-Tsukasa can drive and is the third choice driver , boasts about being so good at driving(he failed his driving test twice) then procedes to miss the exit,twice. Rui has to read off the driving app.

-Rui is the second trusted driver of the group ,but his psychopathic ideas make others fear if he is going to stop his impulse of seeing how the airbags work.(hence why tsukasa goes before him) He’s overall good at keeping himself in check tho.

•Seating arrangements and behavior

-•passenger princess priority in accordance to driving priority:

-emu(literally princess I love her so much :D)

-Rui(reads driving instructions to tsukasa otherwise he will miss the exit again)

-Tsukasa (holds onto the celling handle thing the whole time)

-Nene(keeps an eye on emu) (if rui was with emu while driving the chances of their collective thoughts of war increase,nene prevents that)

•when in back row together:

-emu and tsukasa

- read off bill boards and tourism ads and then beg rui/nene to go see them. If rui is driving they are more likely to pull over. Nene will pull over if she decides it’s interesting enough and worth it.

-the WOAHHH!!! WHATS THAT OMG CAN WE GO or like making jokes about weird ass signs

-ba da ba ba ba when the McDonald’s sign

-emu and nene

- are usually playing games together on Nenes phone or switch.Emu loves to watch nene play rhythm games,animal crossing or stardew valley.

-nene listens to emu as she fixates of her favorite villagers and island decor.

-Nene will sometimes share her headphones with emu.

-when they try to get out of the car at stops, 500 different stuff animals they both own start to pour out the car.

-Rui and Nene

Idk if this is already canon but rui made a mini nene bot that is safely buckled in the middle seat. Rui sometimes brings out silly hats to put on it(emu made some of them)

-nene also plays splatoon when he’s in the back

-you can’t convince me rui isn’t playing fnaf or granny for shits and giggles, you cannot

-then nerds out of the stupid ways you can break these games

-emu and rui

Thoughts of war and things that are illegal to construct on stages, these 2 are a dangerous combination without any balance from nene or tsukasa

-elaborately contsructing pranks to pull on tsukasa

-otherwise they are nerding out over over silly shit and having a wholesome time

-if emu sees something cool rui is already on board with trying to convince whos driving to pull over to see the thing.

-Rui and tsukasa

-Rui ,if he decides to take a nap, will kick his daddy long legs on tsukasa lap and there is nothing tsukasa can do to stop him

-“Aw look at that cool car right there I wonder if it would survive the blast radius of a nuclear strike “”RUI WHAT-“

-Rui keep’s proposing increasingly worse and dangerous ideas for shows is tsukasa is like “WHAT” and dumbfounded

-scrolling together through TikTok to see those Reddit stories but they only look at the cool craft videos in the background and don’t care about the story

-tsukasa and nene

-(my apologies this duo I think about the least so my head-canons won’t be as good)

-insult battle where they keep trying to one up the other in more increasingly insane ways, (I think nene wins)

-she isn’t sharing her music or her games with him

-tsukasa sneezes so loud, nene records it so that whenever he annoys her or says something stupid she will play it on repeat

-“Omg look at that””rejected””I didn’t even say what it was yet-“

-if they both see/hear something weird af on the road or on a bill board they just 👀

-tsukasa will try to make jokes to make her smile and she will rate them critically (it’s all fun and games tho)

•Misc:

-nene has threatened to crash the car when the shits gotten to silly

-Emu keeps pulling out snacks from her pockets in unrealistic ways

-Rui brings bags of like candy rocks or candy dice and just eats the em infront of tsukasa and freaks him out at first but then he’s like WOAH and then they are both eating rocks.(don’t mention the chocolate crickets to tsukasa)

-rui has definitely shoplifted at gas stations with nene

-nene handles finding sleeping arrangements

-tsukasa got sick from a gas station hotdog once and he can’t handle takis

-underneath the stuff animals nene is rotting in, there are 17 crushed monster energies and coffee drink cans

-rui is looked to when there is car issues

-nene is basically keeping the other three on a leash at all times but she can’t keep them still and gets dragged along

-the amount of times tsukasa and emu have gotten lost in a gas station is impressive, sometimes rui moves the car while there inside to make them think they were left behind.

{Feel free to request headcannon ideas on my special interests! I’m not the most knowledgeable in other pjsk units tho!}

Met a friend today and she gave me the sekai card au challenge except the first time she chose cards she liked and second time it was totally randomly selected from a folder of cards by whichever she pointed at so here's the results bc why not share:

1)

Tsukasa is a ghost haunting a building where a circus of questionable morals used to perform at after dying while watching one of their performances that went awry. He's determined to put on a show that will clear the infamy this stage has and cause smiles there unlike the circus there did. He thinks this will be what finally frees him from the mortal realm and allow to pass on peacefully. Unfortunately for him, everyone steers clear from the haunted place so nobody ever watches his performances. Everyone is too scared of taking this place down as well, though, so he's trapped in there

That is until he stumbles upon Toya there, who ran away to here to avoid his father who forbids him from singing so thay he can focus on pursuing a career in classical music. He wanted to go to a place nobody was at to sing freely without worrying about what anyone says. Tsukasa and Toya end up bonding over love for performing and being unable to find an audience that would accept them, and end up doing shows together, with Toya's singing and Tsukasa performing. The stage ends up Toya's safe place where he can run away to to rest from the world around him, and Tsukasa finally has an audience – and a companion – for his shows

Rui is a travelling exorcist who's trying to gain more experience and help people out. He had to give up his love for shows in the name of duty after trying to put on performances with humans and ghosts alike that ended up with people getting hurt and him being scolded for associating himself with "evil". He ended up being trained to exorcise ghosts instead even when it felt wrong to him (and he always tries to resolve the conflict without exorcising if the ghost isnt too aggressive). He came across the town where Toya lived and heard the rumours about the old haunted circus and went to check it out

When he saw Tsukasa he at first misinterpreted his behaviour a lot and ended up taking his "invitation for a once-in-a-lifetime-show" as a threat and they ended up chasing each other (tsks trying not to be exorcised bc he found he does want to keep "living" and performing) until Rui was stopped by Toya coming and explaining the truth. Rui is met with the choice between duty as an exorcist – making tsukasa pass on – and the reignited dream he once longed for standing right in front of him. He ends up working on a show together with them in the end, and they manage to put it on a few times with other people from the town coming and seeing it and actually having fun and getting less scared of the place

They manage to clear the bad reputation this place has and actually get people to stop being scared of Tsukasa's ghost, and while Harumichi still doesn't exactly see Toya's choices for singing as the best he let him do what he wants. After finding out that realising Tsukasa's goal didn't make him disappear (to all of their relieves bc they ended up bonding and having fun) but instead simply freed him from being chained to the circus, they set off travelling and performing all over the country as a three for humans and ghosts alike WOOO

Bonus idea maybe they meet up with the tenmas to let tsks reconnect with his lost family and also put on a show for ruis exorcist trainers to show them his dream wasn't in vain or smth idk I won't do anything with this HAHAH

2) this was randomised AHDHSV I apologise for any character misinterpretation I do not know enaan as well yet hdhd

Ena is an artist with an ability to make her drawings come to life, inherited from her father — the thing is, it works only for works she is proud of and considers "worthy" of coming to life. Being a very critical person, as well as not being recognised as an artist by many people around her, she ends up with many failed works and very few moving pieces. It doesn't help that she sees her father's work always moving around the house and feeling discouraged by his constant criticism and comments on how to fix her art

She does, however, befriend and work with An, a local setective who found her skill very useful when they found out if she successfully draws a suspect of a crime or some missing person, the drawings are able to talk for the drawn person and reveal some key information allowing them to find them and solve the case. An admires Ena's art and ability a lot but secretly is jealous and feels useless because she thinks she's only successful in her solved cases thanks to Ena's help, and not her own skill

Meanwhile Nene is Ena's masterpiece who came to life — except Ena was so scared of showing the work to anyone because she was proud of it and considered it besutiful and didn't want anyone to criticise Nene and make her "die" that she hid her away, which in turn made Nene adopt her creator's mindset and became an extremely shy and unconfident person, constantly hiding away in her frame and never really coming out, feeling she's not worthy of being seen and even trying to become something more outside of the canvas

Until one day suddenly, Nene's painting disappears completely. Ena is absolutely devastated — and also in her doubts, feels completely unable to replicate such a masterpiece. With that she is unable to draw Nene again for An to get some pieces of information to help find the painting, making An have to rely only on herself. She takes the challenge and doesn't let herself fail and she DOES manage find Nene, who actually found the courage to come out of the frame and ran to try to find her creator too

It turned out Nene was stolen away by Ena's own Autoportrait that also came to life like Nene. Ena's Autoportrait was one she was deep down very proud of, but her father criticised it and other people as well when she put it on display, and ended up throwing it out as a "failure" despite still feeling like it was good. The portrait came to life because of ena's feelings but ended up jealous of Nene and the fact she was kept, and that the Autoportrait wasn't loved like that. So she stole Nene away too. In the end the Autoportrait just wanted Ena to love her just as Nene — in a way it was just Ena wanting to love herself and her art just because she likes it and not becsuse others do

Ena ends up taking the Autoportrait back to her studio and thanking An for finding both the portrait and Nene. In the end though Nene decides she wants to leave by herself as well and learn about other paintings' stories and maybe forge her own by travelling through art galleries, so Ena finds the courage to send the canvas out to the world to let Nene tour various museums and walk around there, while also earning Ena fame as a bonus. An ends up taking on more cases on her own to get better and not rely too much on Ena anymore and also let her have time to create for herself the enddd

oops now that you mention artificial insemination (in my smut haste i forgot that was an option) so that rui would be included... i love how that implies his cum isn't cursed / is safe to handle because i think it'd be HILARIOUS if it WAS... certified darkwick weapon: death by cursed cum

some context

lol I get that it would be like, a bio weapon stored somewhere, but the image of Ed just telling Rui to jack off in the general direction of the enemy is really funny. He'd be so humiliated. My thought process is that it seems to be that Rui's touch is what kills living things, and his cum isn't exactly... attached to him? Obviously he can't make a baby the normal way (he's dying mad about that) but he can still donate to the cause. "Lack of an earthly dick" is such a funny way to describe Zenji. My man's not dead his cock has just left this mortal plane 💀

As for those categories... you are correct but you are also sort of missing the potential for Darkwick to think of this as an opportunity to get a ghoul (or something equivalent to one) who is loyal only to them. Sure, Ed is a horrible choice for a baby daddy, but a sperm donor? If the institute could wrap a dhampir around their fingers they'd do it in a heartbeat. Same with Lyca, would combining werewolf DNA with the Kyklos's curse and your immunity to the mesmer matches make one that could remain sentient during the full moon? Taiga and Jin are their strongest ghouls... why shouldn't they use them? A strong child would have the best chance of taking away the curse, no?

I did write a little bit about that concept, where your child is taken away from you and raised as a test subject in the institute. She ends up breaking free as the world is ended by whatever great calamity Darkwick is supposed to be preventing. I could make her murderous, but my mind sort of went towards how 11 is in the first two seasons of Stranger Things. She doesn't really know anything about how she was created, she just knows she hates the institute and doesn't want to be there anymore. The drabble I wrote was about her hunting down the MC because she does understand that a mother is supposed to name you and she doesn't have one. She's angrier about that than anything else, sure she's learning now that humans have families and childhoods, but she's not human now is she? It's hard to let go of that thought when it was drilled into her head from the second she took her first breath.

Ink of Fate

Chapter snippet: Negotiations in the Shadows

Huang Rui paced back and forth in his study, his footsteps light yet frantic across the wooden floor. The soft glow of candlelight illuminated the bookshelves lining the walls, but they brought no comfort. His thoughts swirled around the empty space where his safe used to be—now reduced to a gaping, jagged hole. He had been robbed, but it wasn’t the loss of money or trinkets that worried him. No, it was his manuscript. His life’s work.

“Who would steal a novel?” He muttered under his breath for the tenth time that evening. A novel! Of all things!

He rubbed his temples, frustration mounting. The publisher had insisted he report the crime to the authorities, but Huang Rui had little faith in them. The police didn’t have time for stolen manuscripts. After all, it was just ink on paper to them.

With a sigh, Huang Rui stopped pacing and collapsed into a plush armchair by the window. He leaned his head back, staring at the darkened ceiling. How had things spiraled so quickly? He was just a simple teacher, an aspiring writer—his only crime being his talent for words.

But words had power, far more than he had realized.

His publisher's voice rang in his ears: "If the police can't solve this, you have one option left—go to him. The King of Hell."

The thought of dealing with an underground gangster felt like throwing himself into a den of wolves, but what choice did he have? He needed the manuscript back before it fell into the wrong hands, or worse, before someone published it under their own name. He wouldn’t let years of work go to waste.

The King of Hell. The name alone sent a shiver down his spine. No one dared to speak of him openly, except in hushed whispers. He was said to be ruthless, a man who commanded power and fear in equal measure. Huang Rui couldn’t imagine what kind of brute he’d encounter.

A knock at the door interrupted his spiraling thoughts.

"It's time," his servant said, his eyes flickering with worry. "The carriage is ready, sir."

With a deep breath, Huang Rui stood, smoothing the front of his simple tunic. He wasn't dressed for intimidation; he wasn't sure he knew how to be intimidating. Instead, he prepared himself for the inevitable—an encounter with someone entirely out of his league.

---

The journey to the underbelly of the city was long and winding. The further they traveled, the more the streets became a labyrinth of shadows and whispers. And then, they reached it—the infamous estate belonging to the King of Hell.

Shen Yi’s palace was nothing like what Huang Rui expected. Grand, yes, but not the dark fortress filled with terrifying brutes that he’d imagined. The architecture had an elegance to it, traditional with sweeping arches and intricate carvings. The doors opened without a sound, revealing a dim interior bathed in red and gold.

Two guards, almost spectral in their silence, led him to the inner chamber.

There, seated atop a low dais, was Shen Yi.

Huang Rui's breath caught in his throat. Shen Yi was not the beast of nightmares that the rumors painted him as. He was sharp, dangerously sharp, with an air of lethal grace. His long, black hair flowed down his back, catching the flicker of candlelight like threads of night. His crimson robe was adorned with intricate golden designs, and despite his relaxed posture, there was a tension in the air, like a coiled snake ready to strike.

But what stunned Huang Rui the most wasn’t the notorious gangster’s beauty. It was the quiet intensity of his gaze, dark eyes observing every move like a predator eyeing its prey.

Shen Yi smirked, his voice low and smooth. “So, you’ve come to me... the desperate author in need of a favor.” He gestured for Huang Rui to sit, his tone dripping with amusement.

Huang Rui swallowed hard and forced his feet to move. “I didn’t have much of a choice,” he admitted, trying to steady his voice. “My manuscript—”

“I know.” Shen Yi’s smirk widened. “Word travels fast. And I also know that your little masterpiece is quite... valuable. To some.” He leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his hand. “But you wouldn’t be here if you thought this was just about a story, would you?”

Huang Rui frowned. “What are you getting at?”

Shen Yi chuckled darkly. “Your novel. It’s more than fiction. You wrote something that someone wanted silenced—or worse, used. And that means you’ve just become very interesting.”

Huang Rui stiffened. His stomach churned with unease. “I... I never intended—”

“Intentions mean nothing,” Shen Yi interrupted, his eyes narrowing. “It’s what you’ve already set in motion that matters.”

Huang Rui swallowed again, feeling small in the presence of such controlled power. Shen Yi’s calm demeanor unnerved him more than any threat could have. The King of Hell was a man who held all the cards, and worse, he enjoyed watching others squirm.

“So,” Shen Yi continued, “what will you offer me in return for my help? Money?” He raised a brow, clearly unimpressed by the idea. “No, I think I’ll take something more... entertaining.”

Huang Rui’s heart pounded. “What... what do you want?”

Shen Yi’s smile was slow and predatory. “You. Whenever I desire your company. No questions. No refusals.”

The room seemed to grow colder despite the heavy incense swirling through the air. Huang Rui’s mouth went dry. He hadn’t expected this. His gaze flickered to the floor, thoughts racing.

He could walk away—return to his quiet, predictable life. But what then? His manuscript would be gone forever, possibly twisted into something beyond his control. If Shen Yi was right, his work had power, and that meant he had no choice but to fight for it.

“I agree,” Huang Rui finally said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Shen Yi’s grin grew wider, showing just a hint of teeth. “Good.”

In that moment, Huang Rui realized something vital about Shen Yi. He was more than just a criminal lord. He was a man who understood the art of control—of binding others to him, not through force, but through subtle manipulation. And that was far more dangerous.

As Shen Yi stood, moving toward him with an almost catlike grace, Huang Rui felt the shift in power between them. The gangster’s presence was suffocating, yet strangely magnetic. He had the power to destroy or protect, and Huang Rui wasn’t sure which side of that blade he would end up on.

“Don’t worry,” Shen Yi whispered as he passed by, his fingers lightly brushing Huang Rui’s shoulder. “You’ll get your manuscript back. But your story... oh, your story has only just begun.”

I need me a Shen Yi

[nogenderbee]

Hi! I just discovered your blog and I love it so much! I was wondering if you could do Rui, Tsukasa, Emu, Shizuku, and Minori with a reader that has a hard time showing emotion and expressing themself due to a rough childhood? You can think of it like a Mafuyu situation where she was forced to be perfect and therefore locked her true emotions away in order to please everybody. Thanks in advance!

Of course! I don't know if you meant that reader also hides their true self so I choosed that they don't! Feel free to tell me if you had something different in mind tho... And of course I hope you enjoy this! <3

Minori, Shizuku, Tsukasa, Emu, Rui with reader who hardly shows emotions

TagList: @bleachtheidiot @yulikesminori @qwnelisa @alicewinterway18 @kuzui5201314 @indi-has-fallen @vodka-glrl

⊱ Minori started or be worried when she first met you and when she noticed that you weren't fully able to express yourself... but of course she didn't wanted to come off as mean by asking you personal questions like that

⊱ but when you became close, it kinda had to be out sooner or later and when it is, you can only expect her to comfort you as well as she can

⊱ when she first heard about your back story, she was running in circles around her house gathering items like blanket, sweets, comfort books/shows/music just so she can give you them in hopes to make you feel better

"Ah! YN, don't worry! I got you blanket, your favorite snack, drink, movie, song, book, comfy pillow and ud you need something more just tell me! It'll be alright, I promise! You need to believe in better tomorrow!"

⊱ but of course, beside comforting she also wants to help you however she can!

⊱ she's most likely to get and show you around her interests and places she likes in hopes that something will move your heart a little bit

⊱ as for your rough childhood... she really wanted to just go and talk with your parents but she stopped herself, not wanting bad opinion...

⊱ but if it were to come back... she may not insult them or anything but she'll definitely try her best to help you somehow! Key word... try... she's a bit too soft for this...

⊱ Shizuku is very caring but also pretty blunt... but she does notice that you're not smiling very often...

⊱ so of course she decides to ask you about it and she's both soft and straightforward with her question to you

⊱ if you tell her, that's when she realizes she needs to help her partner and make you smile again! She doesn't know where to start tho so she'll ask you for any kind of clues you may have

"Maybe something that made you happy as a child? Or something that recently made you feel warm on your chest?"

⊱ and now it's up to you if you decide to tell her about reason for your difficulty to express yourself but if you do, she'll listen calmly and give you comforting back rubs

⊱ and now with all those clues you gave her, she'll do her best to help you out! She'll start from little and simple things but will move onto more extreme things or anything she thinks might make you feel something

⊱ as for how she feels about your parents after discovering what they did... she's a bit upset at them and she decides to give you all the comfort and support you could need herself!

⊱ Tsukasa often tried putting smile on your face so of course he noticed quite quickly that all his tries failed... but he decided to not give up and eventually will even ask you about it

⊱ when you tell him you have trouble showing emotions, he became frozen... and that's when he made it his goal to help you with it!

⊱ he started with all his favorite things, then his sister's, then his friends and late, he started even asking strangers! So it's safe to say he tried or suggested to try every activity he could think of

⊱ but if everything fails... he disagrees to give up and finally decides to have a talk with you about it, he didn't wanted to be presistant but he sees no other choice...

"Hey, YN... I don't want to force you to anything so you don't have to answer but... is there something that I'm missing? Is there something more behind your difficulty to express yourself?"

⊱ if you decide to tell him, he somehow gets you... and of course if you still live with your parents, he'll try to hangout with you as often as he can so you can take your mind off them and maybe that'll help?

⊱ there's also a chance he'll be less friendly to your parents... he won't be completely mean to them but he may be a bit more cold than he's to most people

⊱ Emu definitely noticed your lack of showing emotions almost immidietly, and when she greeted you with "Wonderhoy" she only was more sure of that

"Y/N! Wonderhoy!"

"Won...der...hoy?"

"Yes! But say it witch true smile, Y/N! C'mon!"

"Wonderhoy..."

"Eeek!! Just like Miss Asahina..."

⊱ yeah that situation scared her... but when you two eventually got close she was trying to make you smile but it always had this strange feeling to it

⊱ so of course when you got even closer, she tried and tried but eventually decided to talk with you and now it's up to you if you decide to tell her~

⊱ if you don't, she'll continue trying to make you laugh, smile or anything just like she did

⊱ if you do though, she'll immidietly try to comfort you by putting performacne using few of her plushies and acting with them

⊱ she also thinks of more creative ways to make you smile and if she got at least a small grin from you, she'll think of something related to just that thing to get even better reaction!

⊱ I know I'm repeating but he IS very observant! So he immidietly picked on the fact you have problems while expressing emotions, maybe not on full emotionless but it's always something!

⊱ now, he won't approach this topic himself so the only way he can know that for sure is by you telling him

⊱ and when you do tell him, he'll make sure to make a note about everything that made you show even a bit of emotions, be it positive or negative, it's always something!

⊱ and with those little notes, he'll try to think of something similar but to also cause bigger reaction from you

"Hey darling, would you mind coming here for a second? I think my newest invention is ready to be tested~ And it has to be tasted by no one else than you!"

⊱ as for what caused that... he'll listen if you decide to tell him but don't expect him to stay calm. He's absolutely pissed off at your parents for what they did to you

⊱ so if you still live with them, he'll tell you that he'll be happy to have you her whenever and for as long as you want. You don't even need to ask him for permission as his answer always will be positive!

Kanade making friends with WxS

A random blurb of headcanons based on this post by @rockmoth

There’s a lot I could not get them out of my head

Kanade And Rui

Kanade and Rui hit it off right away.

Theyre both extremely active on those technical forums

They coincidentally answer each other’s questions on the forums

It also turns out they’re in the same Nightcord server so they started to just direct questions at one another in DMs.

They ended up finding out that they’ve got a mutual friend who happens to be Mizuki

Mizuki ofc plans for the three of them to hang out

They leave after 30 minutes like “have fun :D”

Rui shows Kanade all his robots

She may not understand it 100% but she understands it better than most

Rui commissions music for shows from Kanade

In return he builds her a custom roomba to vacuum for her

Kanade And Tsukasa

Kanade is Tsukasa’s wet cat of a friend

They also met from mutual friend Mizuki

BONUS HEADCANON: Mizuki and Tsukasa are sewing buddies

They’ve spoken a few times so they recognize one another when out and about

Most of their interaction comes from random encounters outside

Honami encourages Kanade to “get out more! go on a walk!”

She is not equipped for the outdoors

Tsukasa bumps into her like “YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE DYING DO YOU NEED SUNGLASSES? A COLD DRINK?”

And he will get them for her

He basically mothers her

She does not mind

She’s a Tenma now

Kanade And Nene

Nene and Kanade are video game buddies

Mizuki suggested N25 go to an arcade for some group bonding :)) 

Kanade encountered Nene playing a rhythm game

They’re both so shy around each other

But Nene encouraged Kanade to have a go

Kanade is pretty good

“And you’ve never played it in your life????”

Safe to say, Nene is impressed

Most of their friendship is over text

With the occasional arcade meetup and online video games

She also had Nene do the vocals for a song once :)) 

Kanade and Emu

Emu and Kanade is the natural side effect of being friends with the rest of WxS

“You all have a friend without me :(((?”

Kanade started coming to WxS shows so Emu ran up to her after a show like “New friend :D” 

It was not a choice

They don’t have too much in common but Emu texts her cat memes all the time

She probably also stops by her house with snacks

They’re snack buddies in the way of

Kanade doesn’t try new things much and Emu has so many snacks she needs Kanade to try

Also the mutual friendship with Mafuyu

They just want her to be happy yknow

[revelry-in-severity]

A magic Mikudemy AU but all of the unit shuffle groups are just group projects that only half of them want to be on

Touya refuses to be separated from Tsukasa. It's always a toss up as to whether their home ec class is going to blow up or not. Tsukasa refuses to admit Touya is ever in the wrong

Rui always picks Akito just to see him explode. He also never tells Tsukasa that he is the one planting small explosives on Minori to send to him

Shizuku never knows how she ends up with so many different groups. She just walks into them. Or appears. Sometimes, her group members don't know how she joined either

Shiho and Nene always think they're safe with Airi. And then Ena comes along and a fight breaks out somewhere

Saki always attempts to get at least one person from every dorm. She usually refuses to be with Tsukasa because that would be too easy however

Haurka was the one to form the group with Akito and Rui. She simply wanted to see Minori more in whatever class they were having. She didn't give them a choice in saying no

Emu is another one who wants a person from every dorm. She's still witling down the solid heart class. One day, they'll all be living in the same dorm together

Kanade still doesn't know how she became the one in charge of the solid heart cooking team. She barely knows how to cook in the first place

a thing that i genuinely fucking adore about kiseki and that i always have rotating rotisserie-style in my brain is how much trauma and abandonment informs the behaviors and beliefs of the core four. each of them was abandoned or hurt by a parental figure -- via death, via abuse, via addiction -- and the families and lives they built in the aftermath are informed by that specific pain. zong yi and chen yi are both very focused on their ambitions and staying the course and rushing into an accelerated adulthood while containing their emotions safely under wraps. but even then, zong yi is just focused on learning how to provide and be responsible because he has people who still unconditionally support and rely on him and he's thus able to be the most well-adjusted; chen yi doesn't know how to live a life without danger (to himself, to yiyun meng, to ai di) and has no real sense of safety or stability. he's always chasing that hero-worship model of adulthood because he doesn't know how to be his own style of leader and being the mirror image of chen dong yang is going to give him the closest approximation of a sense of safety. he relied on CDY growing up and he believes that mimicking his boss is going to soothe his own terror at living in a fundamentally unstable, out-of-control world.

ai di, of course, was born with emotional instability due to his mother's drug use, so he never had a chance. like chen yi, who was orphaned at an early age, he never had the sense of stability of even one loving caretaker, and CDY doesn't exactly give off the nurturing dad vibes. chen yi was forced into a caretaking role for a close-to-death feral little kid, and he had no one to model affection for him. he did the best he could, and he does succeed in being protection and safe haven for ai di, but he's never had a chance to process and navigate the emotional complexities of burgeoning adulthood and romance. (ai di is, in many ways, similar to macau from KP, i think -- starving for attention and affection that their broken older sibling figures can only give so much of. both vegas and chen yi try mightily to give them the chances they didn't get, but they were equally failed first.) so ai di has the advantage of having a slightly safer space to begin spreading out his messy emotions, but he doesn't know how to really express them in healthy ways (hence his self-destructive attention-seeking behavior).

ze rui is the outlier in many ways -- he doesn't fit in zong yi's world, but he doesn't fit in chen yi's and ai di's, either. as ai di points out to him, he still fears death. he's got his feet wet in the mafia world, but he doesn't have the commitment. he's not as trapped there. he can slide more seamlessly, if awkwardly, into the real world (such as at zong yi's school; he's clumsy and it's played for laughs, but he's old enough and poised enough to keep the ruse semi-on the rails, whereas ai di's prickly, itchy energy makes it a lot harder for him to easily ingratiate). he has somewhere to go home to, both literally in the sense of his apartment, and more figuratively, in the sense of his vile family unit that wants to use him as a pawn for the business. he's more or less kept on ice as a second-best option, told he can be trotted out when he's useful, but slapped down at any moment where he might dare to outshine his brother. of all the four, he's the one in the most gilded cage. zong yi is in a prison of poverty; chen yi and ai di are trapped in a cycle of violence and death. they contain themselves into their own self-created, pre-determined paths. zong yi has no choice but to go to med school and become a family provider. he knows he'll be a workhorse forever. chen yi and ai di have the blackly comic life of wondering if they'll even both be alive on their next birthdays, and they alternately chafe at that and welcome it. ze rui has a financially advantageous future, if he'll continue being a loyal pet of the same people who ruthlessly crushed the independence and ambition and self-esteem out of him from childhood on.

it's just such a crunchy show with so much to really dig into and pick apart at the marrow. i'm fascinated with how everyone starts at a similar point (parental failures) and spirals out in vastly different ways. sometimes they parallel each other, sometimes they intersect, and sometimes they diverge into wildly different paths. there are so many rich veins to mine (and that's not even touching a lot of the traumas inflicted in canon, for fuck's sake) and it's so refreshing to see a show about trauma and healing that doesn't manage to disrespectfully screw over its characters in the eleventh hour.

I got bored waiting for my tire to be fixed and wrote a G/t Rui and Mizuki one-shot. The idea came from a conversation we were having in a Discord server I’m in.

TW: suicide attempt

Rui was invisible.

It was a defense mechanism that kept him hidden from society. All giants have this power. They learned to hide in plain sight, otherwise they’d risk being seen as monsters and chased away.

Not a sound is heard from their booming voices and thundering footsteps, and not a single sign of their existence is visible to humanity. It’s a lonely existence, but it keeps them safe.

Of course, there is one way for a giant to be seen by a human: if they touch a human. But it’s not worth the risk. There’s no way to tell how someone would react to such a massive being. So it’s best to remain in hiding.

But Rui was never one to follow the rules. Sure, he didn’t reveal himself to anyone, but he still liked to go out into town and observe the day-to-day lives of the humans. He found them to be rather fascinating little creatures, with such odd and unusual habits.

His favorite place to go was Kamiyama Junior High School. He’d sit himself down outside the building, and watch the students in the courtyard during their lunch break.

It amazed him to see so many people his own age together in one place, all such close friends and having fun together, and though he would never admit it to his family, he wondered what it would be like to spend time with them.

There was one student in particular that caught his attention, though. They never went out to the courtyard with the other kids, and instead spent their lunch breaks alone on the roof. It was hard to ignore, partially because they were right at eye level with Rui, but also because they always seemed so distraught.

Though he didn’t really know them, he felt for this student. Even among the giant community, Rui was considered a weirdo. No one understood his interest in humans, or his passion for inventing. He didn’t have anyone that he could truly call a friend, and seemingly, neither did this human. But he knew he couldn’t risk showing himself.

That is, until one day, when he had no choice.

He was sitting outside the school as he usually did, but when the human came out onto the roof, they were crying.

They wiped their tears on the sleeve of their school uniform, and ripped the cute bow out of their short, light pink hair.

“I… can’t take it anymore.” They said. “Why can’t everyone just leave me alone!?”

Rui watched in horror as they threw the bow down and walked dangerously close to the edge of the roof. Deep down, he knew what they were considering, but he didn’t want to admit it.

The human gazed down at the long drop below them, entranced by it. Rui placed his hand inches away from them, as if to try and stop them from going any further, but he knew they couldn’t see him. There was nothing he could do.

But as the human shut their eyes and started to take a step forward, the giant couldn’t just sit there and watch anymore, and he did the unthinkable.

Rui swiftly grabbed them, hearing a startled yelp from the tiny being in his hand. He looked at them in terror as he saw their eyes widen, it becoming apparent that he was visible to this human now.

Both of them were at a loss for words, and the tension was unbearable as neither of them were sure what to do.

Finally, Rui managed to speak up.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t let you do that…”

The human continued to stare endlessly at him, each breath they took heavier than the last. They were visibly terrified, but also looked sort of awestruck.

“I’m going to put you down now. Please don’t try to jump again.”

Rui carefully set them back down on the roof, and they continued to look up at him in wonder.

“W-Why did you stop me?” They finally asked.

The giant sighed, his warm breath blowing through the human’s hair. “I did what anyone would do.”

The human glanced down at their feet, avoiding his gaze. “I doubt that.”

Rui startled them once again when he placed his hands on the edge of the roof. “No, don’t say that.”

He noticed how they jumped back in fear as he got closer, and moved his hands away, creating as much of a distance as he could while still remaining close enough to intervene again if necessary.

“I’m sorry… it’s just… I know what it’s like to feel alone. But this isn’t the answer. I think you know that already.”

The human sighed. “Yeah… but I just can’t stand the way they all treat me. Why is it anyone’s business what I like or how I dress? I don’t get it.”

Rui paused. Was there a chance that they might actually understand?

“People… they tend to be against the things they don’t understand. They get scared, but instead of giving you a chance and trying to get to know you, they automatically assume you’re the bad guy and push you away. It’s awful, but you just have to keep up hope that someday, you’ll find someone who likes you for who you really are.”

The human shed another tear, but this time, they had the slightest smile on their face. “Thank you.”

For the first time, they looked at Rui, unafraid. Then, they let out a chuckle.

“I guess I’m no better than anyone else. You really scared me when you just appeared out of thin air and grabbed me like that.”

Rui smiled. “It’s okay. Most humans are afraid of us. But the fact that you didn’t immediately run away proves that you’re a lot more open-minded than the people that other giants have encountered in the past. Oh… You won’t tell anyone about me, right?”

“Heh, of course not. Nobody’d believe me, anyway.”

With a nod, the giant stood up to his full height, the human looking on as he towered above them even more so than before.

“I should probably get going. It was nice to meet you…”

“Akiyama. Mizuki Akiyama.”

They suddenly ran towards the edge of the roof again, Rui getting closer in case he needed to catch them again, but they stopped before getting too close.

“Will I see you again?” They asked.

Rui was… surprised, to say the least. He didn’t know what would happen if he ever revealed himself, but he certainly didn’t expect any human to ever WANT to see him again.

“Of course.” He replied with a smile. “I come here every day.”

Mizuki laughed. “Good, ‘cause I have SO many questions. Oh, by the way, what’s your name?”

The giant laughed along. He wasn’t used to seeing the human happy, but he hoped to see more of it. “I’m Rui Kamishiro.”

“Then I guess I’ll see you around, Rui. Oh- I mean, Kamishiro, sorry.”

“Heheh, it’s alright, you can call me Rui if you want to. I don’t mind.”

Mizuki smirked. “Okay then, Rui. Then that means you can call me Mizuki.”

The giant chuckled. “I’ll remember that, Mizuki. See you tomorrow.”

With that, he walked away with pride in his step. He met a human and it actually went well. Not only that, it seemed like they wanted to be friends with him. It felt so wrong, but this was what he’d always wanted. Something impossible finally seemed possible. He’d just have to keep this on the down low. He didn’t want his family to worry about him. But this was so important. He finally made a connection with someone, and it felt amazing.

further nai and rui thoughts

i think their family technique(s) have to do with plants or other elements of the mountain where they and their ancestors have lived for almost all of their history; in charge not only of guarding the mountain but by ensuring the cursed spirit within it remains caged

there's a definite environmental aspect to their powers too - like rui carries seeds around in her pockets and can recognize plants based on leaves alone. meanwhile nai didn't have any big powers like his sister; his abilities were more based on listening and observing the forest + mountain around him

where rui was gifted, nai never really learned to fear the curses in the forest around him and he does pay the price but they are still very very close; which is why rui did not hesitate when presented with the choice of her brother or their family

even if he's different even if he died and came back and he's not really nai anymore but he's not NOT nai, she will choose him; that's the price everyone around them pays for raising the kids (especially the eldest) with the mentality of "the closest blood comes first"

so even when her brother is different even when he's changed and the adults try to tell her that he's not really himself anymore; that the cursed spirit they were charged with keeping safe must be inhabiting him because where else could it have gone? she simply does not care. that is her brother, get away from him

and then they run away <3 two kids with wanted bounties on their heads in jjk society. obviously someone is going to find them and take them in but for now! that's all i've got

The fandom needs more aus so Im adding one I just made#2

Mp100 au - The whole basis for Reigen and Mob's mentor-mentee relationship is built on a lie that was good for the both of them. Mob needed to know a self-assured adult esper who understood that his powers can be dangerous and has thought about that constructively and productively, and Reigen needs a nephew-best-friend he can help teach and grow so he has a long-term social relation.

So it's a little difficult to think of who would fit the bill for Reigen - if I can figure that out, then I know who would be Mob.

Yusuke would be the one to leave the safe water bottle company and make his own office and lie about having ESP to a kid who needs guidance, I think. But would he break that character once he learned the kid DOES have powers? If he's an adult and assuming he grew up pretty okay (Reigen standards) then I imagine at most that he's having a moment of inner panic abt having lied abt this bc he thought the kid was fibbing. And then he looks at the kid being so hopeful and glad and he folds - he'll roll w it! The kid needs the lie right now.

Oh, Masaru could be a good choice? The very kid that Yusuke saves and dies for in canon! Another thought was Botan in a role-reversal au as well as mp100 au.

Suddenly entranced by the concept of Yukina in the role of Shou. "See you later!" She says with a gentle smile. Anthy Himemiya is that u--

In that case I could see Yusuke as Mob and Shizuru and Botan having dual roles as Reigen (being the mentor: Shizuru, being the goofball w crazy charisma rolls: Botan)

Kuwabara siblings sharing the spot for Serizawa would be neat! They're very sensible in canon, both practice and encourage a normie life of studying and working despite their powers, so Serizawa's problem of finding it extremely difficult to control his powers due to his anxiety feel like a sufficient background for what would push them into a terrorist organisation.

Hina as Soichirou... She's been dead too often in my aus and concepts, Rui usually taking the spotlight, it's time for "oh no it's worse when they Lived". Epic divorce-woman ftw. Rui fulfills Shimazaki's powers of teleportation and knows where Yukina is at all times. She would really like Yukina to just stop trying to convince her mother not to be a terrorist anymore. For plot reasons she'll sometimes help Hina out in her plans if it doesn't negatively interfere w the twins' lives.

Hiei as Takenaka who is distressed abt his sister repeatedly running away to pursue their birth mother who at this point kinda scares him and he's not seen her in years. Also very isolated in being an ESP-kid and having no one else like him to talk to, upset to learn the Telepathy club is a lie. We don't see him for SO MANY episodes and when he returns as the twin brother of the There-are-so-many-things-wrong-with-this-child (Yukina).

Kurama might be part of Claw to help out his mother... Perhaps he is a Serizawa? (Speaking like these are actors for a theatre production) Koenma is the child in claw w the wooden dolls who cries when they get OP-broken.

I love Yusuke btw but I can't stand when a MC from one series is transferred as the MC of a different series for an au simply bc the character is the MC. It's just so automatic. I personally also like to use Mob for drawing studies when deciding how to draw Yukina's expressions and write her thoughts and actions, but it also grates on me to spend more than 10 minutes to just switch all the character roles for the personalities most similar (why not just go watch the original...). This is the hater in me! Sometimes I find her.

[seyaryminamoto]

I'll be in the minority here, but I'd be okay-ish with Rei and Renkai becoming a couple if its handled with care. This is unusual for me since I rarely go for big age gap relationships. Though, to me, its not the age gap itself, but what I call the Maturity Gap. There needs to be a balance of life experience, if that makes sense. There's 20 year olds who've lived through, seen and experienced as much if not more than some 40 year olds. But that's usually rare, so I rarely support age gap ships.

Hahaha, I understand that position, and I'll be honest, while I'm not a huuuuuge fan of age gaps, I wouldn't jump outright to condemn them every single time. Context definitely matters, I don't think every age gap involves grooming, particularly if we're talking about adults. People of different walks of life can absolutely come together to find common interests with someone who's much younger or much older than themselves, so it's not completely out of the question for me.

The maturity gap makes sense, of course. There's definitely some people who are older and do not have the maturity of their age, just as the opposite can be true, someone can be too young to be so wise... but in these cases, I honestly leave it to each person who's in those situations, (provided they're all adults (and always have been across their relationship) and aren't making their decisions under the wrong influences).

In Rei and Renkai's case, though, I don't really think it would be all that instinctive for them to become an item. In a sense, I suspect it might feel repetitive, too -- we already have Song and Rui Shi's romance, and let me tell you, getting those two to GET STARTED was not easy x'D they were supposed to plant the proper seeds for romance as early as the end of the first Pairs Tournament, but it just didn't feel right... so they just hugged and rejoiced in Rui Shi's confirmation that Myeung was alive and safe and sound. So I had no choice but to push Song as hard as I did in the second arc of Part 2 to make her act on her feelings, if for the wrong reasons, or else they would've just danced circles around each other FOREVER. So, if those two took LONGER than Sokka and Azula to get anything started? I guarantee Rei and Renkai would be that much worse x'D And as we've also seen a relationship that has similar dynamics to this one, I feel like it might not be all that interesting to explore another relationship between a commoner girl and the captain of Azula's guards.

Now, going a little further, in terms of speaking about the characters themselves... I don't think Renkai is someone who's really looking for love. Rei? Considering her background, she's looking for the stability of a family that really cares about her, and she absolutely has found that with Azula primarily, with Song and Renkai in second place. Renkai has definitely bonded with Rei and Song, but I think it's a pretty innocent bond. He wants Song to be happy and find her way to Rui Shi again, just as he wants that for Azula with Sokka... and he wants Rei to be happy, too, in the same sense. He doesn't really perceive her all that differently as he does the other two. I don't really think it would be easy for him to think of her as a potential romantic partner for himself. That's really not on his mind at all. In that sense, he's a bit like Mei Xun, both of them are just... not looking for love for themselves, at all. They're happy to support other people in their lives who want and are looking for it, but they're not exactly desperate to find it themselves.

As for Rei, I think she would need like... 5-7 years of calm and stability to finally start thinking if she wants romantic love. I really laughed while writing her first thorough conversation with Song, where she was so confused by the concept of having sex with someone she liked, and she outright asked "would I have to?" because she's just... not really seeing the appeal of the concept at all x'D so, until she finds the appeal and has stabilized sufficiently, I think she's going to focus on pursuing her academic interests, and basically making up for all the time she sacrificed/wasted due to both of her birth parents and the circumstances she was stuck in.

So... would it be possible for something to happen between those two once they're ready? Maybe, and she'd definitely be adult enough at that point where people shouldn't feel suuuuper uncomfortable with the concept, even if they aren't big on age gaps. But there's ALSO the possibility that she might meet other people and fall in love with someone else (who knows, maybe Renkai could, too!). Point is... it's not going to happen within the scope of the story x'D potential-wise, they could have a decent relationship, absolutely, but neither character, at this point in time, is looking for romantic love or needs it all that much, they're motivated much more powerfully by other things instead.

[bibururokku]

rui !!! oh my gloob i read through your last response and you get extra cookie points for saying khao piek sen mhmm mhm! ahh talking about foods is making me hungry ૮꒰ྀི ˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩ ꒱ྀིა i'm a fan for all kinds of laab but i have to say that tuna is my favorite hehe, i also really enjoy gangnomai (awaah .. is this the right way to spell it? it looks so wrong :sobsob:) and call me basic, the typical papaya salad 🥲but my mom likes to change it up and add seafood into it which makes me ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و spicy food is my love language and i tend to have a great relationship with chili oil hehe, do you like spicy food too? oh oh! and i have to marvel at all of your oc's, i admire how you all gave them each a unique and valuable role in bllk while also making them different in certain ways, it truly made me think they were actual characters from the anime hehe :3 i can tell you put a lot of work and love into thinking of each of your oc's, ahskskxdc it's making me itch to reveal myself so we can prattle all about bllk, and to also make communication easier since i'm sure it gets a little tiring answering my asks 😭i do enjoy getting to know you though! i have a lot of fun typing up a response and asking you questions. are there any other shows or anime you like besides bllk? do you play any games or have any other sort of media you also enjoy? OH OH ! i couldn't help but take a teeny peek at your about me page and see that you drew, you're very talented 🩷 how did you take up drawing? were you self taught or take classes? i want to rekindle my love for drawing so i've been saving up for an ipad to try my hand at digital drawing as i've always been a pen and paper kind of girl ᴗ͈ ‸ ᴗ͈꒱

-🍪𝓚

Hjsbfjsksje yeah I'm not gonna lie, after thinking about all the food, I went looking for a snack because I got hungry, so you and me both! ( ≧ᗜ≦) I used to like tuna larb a lot as a kid, but after having it for multiple days in a row as a struggle meal as an adult, I'm kinda over it, lol. Same as the bamboo shoot soup (I don’t know the spelling either, but I know what you're talking about, and that's all that matters! LOL) though, it was less of a struggle meal and more of the fact we had too much leftover for a party and we didn't want to waste food and just kept eating it;;;; Also, I think papaya salad is a staple and the ones with seafood are peak so I will not be calling you basic because I agree! On spicy food though, I do like it but I can't eat a lot anymore because my brother likes to eat with me and has made my spice tolerance go down which kinda makes me sad but I'm slowly building it back up. ᕙ( * •̀ ᗜ •́ * )ᕗ

Thank you so much for the kind words on my OCs! I love to make OCs in general, so it really means a lot to me! I'm also having fun answering your asks, and don’t really mind if you want to stay anonymous even if I'm very curious, haha. I want people to be comfortable on the blog first and foremost since this is supposed to be a safe space. ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

I do like a lot of animes outside of Blue Lock, but they are just shows that have ended already and have a special place in my heart, so all my focus is on Blue Lock right now! As for other games and media, I enjoy. Well, there’s a lot since I game on and off like many other casual gamers, so we'd be here all day if I listed everything... (´∀｀；) The things I put on the 'other interest(s)' on my about should be the main ones, though I couldn't fit Kpop and Vtubers on there because I ran out of space (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Also, I appreciate the compliment on my art! I'd say I'm both self and formally educated, if that makes sense..? I've been drawing pretty much my entire life and started the moment I knew how to hold a pen/pencil but I currently go to an art school though, and am looking to graduate soon as this should be my final year so yeah, haha. An Ipad is definitely a very safe and solid choice to draw on, though, so I do highly recommend it if you can afford it! Digital art is pretty different from traditional art, though, so I hope you don't get discouraged when you start, and just have fun testing things out and seeing what works for you on it. (づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づ♡

[prince-kasa-official]

[Tsukasa used to be seen back in the days. Before he began to feel the weight of the crown, they saw him. He was Tsukasa, the boy who loved theater. He was Tsukasa, the boy who loved his family. He was Tsukasa, the boy who fell in love before he knew what that kind of love was.]

[Nowadays, he’s seen less.]

…

[Tsukasa had decided to take a short walk around the forest. Part of it was so he could find fruit, but the other part of it was to get some time to himself.]

All I’ve been able to find are vegetables, but… hmph. No fruit here.

[Tsukasa pouts, leaning his back against a tree as he lets out a sigh. His search isn’t going so great. His luck isn’t going to help him, so he might as well get lost in his thoughts for a bit.]

Hm…

[… He’s gotten himself into quite a tricky situation, hasn’t he?]

[Tsukasa is sure it’ll all work itself out. He’s always been quite the optimist. If things go according to plan, Rui will be safe from the guild knights and he’ll be back home with Akito before he knows it. Everything could go back to normal. Everything could be just as it was before.]

[Tsukasa could go back to his family, to his people, to his grand life in the castle-]

[To not being seen.]

…

[No one sees him except his family. Not even Akito does anymore. At least, not as much as he did before. He should’ve seen this coming, but it was still agonizing. It was painful to hear him call Tsukasa “his highness” over and over and over again even when they’re alone. It’s stupid. It’s all stupid.]

[Once upon a time, Tsukasa fell in love. He is still in love. What was once a blissful feeling became just another pain to endure. The price that came with constant joy in his presence was a constant need for attention from the knight who stole his heart. It was an ugly feeling, the one that demands the knight’s eyes to always be on him. The more time passed, the uglier that feeling became.]

[And the worst part is even when he has his knight’s attention, even when his eyes are on him, somehow that’s still not enough. He’s seeing the prince, not Tsukasa. “your highness” this, “your highness” that, he had to practically force him to use his actual name most of the time and he wished he didn’t have to do that. He wished he did it more as a choice, he wished he wasn’t holding back, he wished he could relax, he wished he could see him he’s right there WHY CAN’T HE SEE HIM HE JUST WANTS TO BE SEEN HE JUST WANTS HIM TO LOOK AT HIM WHY WON’T HE LOOK HE SHOULD JUST STOP LOOKING AT THE CROWN AND LOOK AT HIM JUST LET HIM BE SEEN-]

[And as long as he’s not seen, these feelings of his will never come see the light. He is the prince, his knight would just go along with whatever he pleases. He’ll do it regardless of how he feels, and what a horrible fate to put him through. Tsukasa can’t be given love that is forced. It can’t be him who reveals his love, it has to be what Akito wants. He just wants Akito to truly want him like he does.]

[But if the prince is seen and not Tsukasa, then what hope is there?]
