— oh househusband!nanami my love…

househusband!nanami initially resisted the idea of being a stay at home husband when you first proposed it. aghast, he might even say. he couldn’t fathom the possibility of being dependent upon your income. not that his masculinity was threatened or anything of the sort. you were the one supposed to be spoiled while he does the hard work.

your husband was traditional in a quite endearing sense. bless his giant heart and his even bigger cock.

“darling, i want to do this. for us,” you had gently insisted. reaching forward, you took off his spectacles and brushed a hand around his cheek. “you deserve to be pampered, too.”

househusband!nanami was exhausted from the long hours over many years and he knew his wife was sorely aware of that fact. he leaned into your touch, hazel eyes slipping shut.

“alright, my love.”

it took some adjusting to his new role during the first few days. when your alarm rang, you swiftly silenced it so he wouldn’t wake up. looking over your shoulder, you find his side of the bed empty.

househusband!nanami had gotten dressed as usual before remembering he didn’t need to work anymore. instead of going back to bed, he whipped up a breakfast feast fit for a queen. he also sent you off to your big-shot job with a kiss and your lunch.

soon enough, this became a routine. a hearty breakfast followed by a “see you later” kiss—kento didn’t like saying goodbye, it’s always “see you later.” househusband!nanami wanted to bring a smile to your hectic days so he stuck an adorable note in his neat handwriting squarely on your lunchbox. he never ran out of words to express his love for you.

househusband!nanami was finally able to tackle the books that had accumulated on his side of the bedroom but never had the chance to read. you could only imagine how he looked like, all cozy. in the nook of the living room where the sun shone best, he had one leg tucked under his body with his glasses perched on his sharp nose.

when he was not devouring words, househusband!nanami was taking himself on a stroll in the neighbourhood with a cup of a pick-me-up coffee. once, he passed a park and sat at a bench watching the mothers playing with their children with a soft smile. however, he quickly walked away because he realized his presence as a sole man just lingering at the edge of the park might be a cause of concern for the mothers. you giggled later over dinner when he recounted his thoughts to you. what a thoughtful man you married.

you wanted to give him 10 children.

if not books or a stroll in the neighbourhood, househusband!nanami was doing his duty ever so happily between your legs.

"k-ken..." you whimpered, back arching gracefully while your nails scraped his undercut in a way that made him growl into your pussy. he knew how much you loved the vibrations as much as he went crazy for your nails on his scalp. "missed this pussy today....mmm...” he captured your clit in a wet, hungry kiss. “take tomorrow off for me, sweetheart.”

this part of the night quickly cemented its spot as his favourite. to absolutely neither of your surprises.

househusband!nanami became fast friends with the owners of your favourite bakery. they already knew him from his frequent visits after his long shifts to pick up something sweet for his wife but the more he hung out there, the closer he got with the bakers. you were particularly fond of the strawberry shortcake from there and what did he do? oh yes, he learned how to make it. everything was from scratch down to the syrup. by the end of it he was sticky but super excited to surprise you with it for your birthday.

"honey, those better be happy tears," he chuckled, drawing you into a tender hug. either that, or the cake turned out to be a disaster.

"of course they are, kento!" you blubbered in his chest. strawberry syrup and whipped cream was smeared around your mouth, mixing with your tears.

oh, how you adored this man to his bare bones. and he devotedly breathed in the very air you exhaled.

don’t touch her ༊*·˚ - nanami

summary : after getting hurt in mission to exorcise a special grade curse, nanami hurriedly comes to check on you.

** : sfw, fluff

note : hi yall 🤍 im starting to find writing fun after writing my first LOL but anyw hope y’all like this one 💗💗

< 3.25pm >

“shit..”

u muttered, hand holding your left hip after the special grade curse hurt you. you were too careless, only wanting to finish the mission as fast as you could. but, by having that mindset comes with consequences.

“see you next time, failure !” the special grade curse mocked you, escaping when it realised the curtain was lifting. you tried to chase it, but to no avail.

ijichi drove you back to jujutsu high, having shoko on call in the car to tell her about your wound while you fill her in with information about the curse.

when you reached jujutsu high, shoko was immediately at your assistance. she gently wrapped your wounds, making sure not to hurt you in the process.

“the curse escaped after they found out the curtain was about to be lifted. this was my mistake..”

“it’s okay, y/n. you’re hurt, and we have to treat you now. that’s all that matters.” shoke reassured you.

“also…” u muttered softly.

“don’t tell kento abo-“

u saw a worried nanami come in the room, rushing to your side. shoko figured what you were about to say, and could only let out a small giggle.

“my bad.” she said under her breath, but loud enough for you to hear. you could only let out a sigh.

“y/n are you okay? i came here as fast as i could..” nanami said worriedly, holding your hand as he rubbed soft circles on it.

“i’m okay, kento. just a small wound. i’ll be fine soon.”

after shoko ensured you were well enough to go home, nanami helped you pack up your belongings and guided you home. he held your hand tightly, as if you were going to slip away if he didn’t. he felt bad that he couldn’t protect you from that curse, although he knew it was your mission. still, he vowed to protect you as long as he’s alive, and your wound showed him his flaws.

for the rest of the day, nanami stayed close to you. he provided all his attention to you, from feeding you to comforting you with hugs and back rubs. you couldn’t ask for more from him. at night, he cuddled close to you, giving you forehead kisses every once in awhile. he was your safe haven, and you never wanted to leave it.

-next morning-

nanami sees you sleeping soundly on the bed. he smiled at the sight of you, combing through your hair and pressing a few kisses on your forehead. he got up from your grasp, careful not to wake you. he wrote a small note and placed it at the bedside table.

“y/n, by the time you wake up, i’ll be out of the house. i prepared a small breakfast for you, please eat before you fulfill your duties today. i’m going to help you complete the mission you left undone yesterday. don’t worry, i’ll be safe. i’ll teach that curse a lesson for messing with my girlfriend.”

you read the note with sleepy eyes, but still able to understand what the note read. you smiled to yourself, anticipating your boyfriend’s victory.

as you expected, he came back safe and sound, with that special grade exorcised in a matter of a few minutes.

done with this writing!! hope you guys liked it, because who doesn’t like nanami 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[frostfall-matches]

[ matchmaking... ]

@eternalera / @eternalwritess : [ match report ready ]

your match is…

✦ Gojo Satoru

How you met -> Jujutsu High, of course. Given Gojo’s upbringing and training, he didn’t really have much of a chance to interact with peers around his age on a regular basis, didn’t have much of a chance to actually forge strong bonds with anyone. Maybe you entered Jujutsu High the same year as him, maybe you were a year below him and therefore classmates with Nanami and Haibara. Either way, it’s not like there are many students - the two of you frequently crossed paths on campus, worked on training drills together, and even went on a few missions as partners. The very first time you two met wasn’t anything exciting; introduced to each other by Yaga before he sends you off to practice sparring.

Confession -> The pining went on for ages before one of you did something about it. Gojo developed a crush on you at some point during your years as students, but he refused to admit it to himself. He kept telling himself that a romantic relationship with him, given the expectations on his shoulders and the life of a jujutsu sorcerer in general, was destined to end in heartbreak. But Gojo can only deny his feelings for so long. The closer the two of you got, the more you saw of him, witnessing his highs and lows, the harder it was for him to keep pretending like he didn’t have feelings for you. He confessed first, while the two of you were walking home from a mission together that hadn’t been particularly difficult. It was sudden, but it felt right.

First date -> The first date happens not long after he confesses, and it was simple, in a good way. It wasn’t anything super extravagant, an outing to a café you both have been wanting to try so you can get your coffee fix and he can indulge his sweet tooth. Gojo certainly has the means and the mindset to plan the most lavish of dates, going all out because money is no issue and he has some pretty romantic ideas up in that head of his, but for the first date it was something more casual. Something relaxed, lowkey, and calm - a date that wouldn’t put too much pressure on either of you as you begin to explore this new dynamic between you two.

What others think of your relationship -> Geto wasn’t around when you and Gojo finally got together, but he knew about his friend’s raging crush on you. He definitely told Gojo to just stop messing around and ask you out, even though Gojo kept denying that he saw you that way. Shoko doesn’t have any strong opinions on you two being together, though she’s happy that you have each other. You have a sweet relationship, but she can’t help but feel that it could be really tough on you emotionally in the long run. Megumi might roll his eyes when you two get all sappy and cheesy, but he actually thinks you bring out the best in each other. Even if you two do gang up on him and pester him.

Relationship tropes -> Friends to lovers, mutual pining, high school sweethearts, idiots in love, partners in crime, possibly workplace romance (jujutsu high teachers).

-> [ Gojo will easily pull out that more energetic, chaotic side of you. ] You match his energy very well while also providing just a bit of needed balance so he doesn’t go too wild or become too obnoxious. But really, his playfulness is just so infectious and it’s hard not to indulge in it with him. Sure, will he ultimately land the two of you into a bit of trouble? Yes, but you went right along with it, so you have no choice but to share the blame. This is less the case as the two of you got older, but it was a frequent issue when you two were still in school together.

-> [ Though he tends to be prone to acting on his emotions, he has become very level-headed over the years. ] Gojo can be dispassionately logical when it matters, mostly in the middle of a battle where he actually needs to be mindful of his sheer offensive capabilities. But it can benefit him in his relationship with you, as well. It allows him to keep a realistic, mature attitude when you lose your temper, whether you start to lash out at everyone and everything or lean into apathy without a care for yourself. He will give you any space you need to process your emotions, but will check in on you here and there. And if you cross the line with your anger, he has no qualms about calmly letting you know.

-> [ The two of you are high achievers. ] Both of you are naturally quick learners, being able to understand and figure things out without much effort at all. Thankfully, though, both of you are able to recognize this strength and still put the effort into mastering skills or broadening your knowledge despite how easily things come to you. Then again, neither of you are completely infallible, and there are skills or concepts that you can’t seem to figure out. Chances are that you’re each going to push and encourage the other when one of you comes up on a roadblock like that.

-> [ If you’ve got time, he’d love it if you could help train Megumi since your cursed technique is similar to the younger boy’s. ] It’s a powerful and versatile cursed technique, and Gojo couldn’t think of a better mentor for this kid. It’s clear that you have a good handle on your technique and you’re able to figure out creative ways to use it when needed. You’re laid back, as well as able to be straightforward and offer constructive criticism without being too harsh - it helps that Megumi is a diligent and serious student anyway. You probably don’t envy Megumi having to train and get used to several shikigami, though; you’re content with your ever-capable Risako.

-> [ Gojo doesn’t get much sleep most nights; the two of you definitely share some late nights together. ] There are definitely a few nights where you each do your own thing; with Gojo working on his lesson and meeting plans, and you focusing on enjoying your free time and personal projects. It’s a nice, relaxed way to spend the evenings with each other. But there are quite a few nights where you two really indulge in each other’s company, catching up if you haven’t seen each other in a while, putting on a show or movie you’ve seen before in the background that you two are only half paying attention to.

-> [ Quality time is ultimately a priority for both of you. ] It’s obvious that Gojo is very busy with his work as the strongest jujutsu sorcerer and a teacher who’s training the next generation of sorcerers; you knew even before you started dating that time together would be precious. He is well aware how important quality time is to you, and he values this time with you just as much. Genuinely does not care if you monopolize his free time - he’d rather spend it with you than listlessly wander around or scroll on his phone. He doesn’t have a ton of hobbies in his own time, but he’s happy to do almost anything if it’s by your side.

-> [ You not liking physical touch is just fine with him, even if he has his moments where he’s very touchy-feely. ] He’s kind of ambivalent on physical affection as a whole, honestly. On the one hand, he does enjoy it quite a bit - on the other, he has his Limitless cursed technique active most of the time which hinders him from indulging in constant physical affection. The occasional hug or cuddle session is perfectly fine with him. Definitely quick to pick up on the fact that you enjoy heat pats, and he’ll lovingly ruffle your hair whenever you two pass each other during the day.

-> [ Baking dates! ] Although you may or may not end up kicking him out of the kitchen, depending if he gets on your nerves or not. Gojo can be an absolute nuisance, pestering you as you try to get proper measurements or get something properly mixed up. He’s just antsy for the final product, honestly. You can get a bit of reprieve if you’re able to get him started on another task, but it’s not long before he’s done and back at your side. Even if he elicits frequent eye-rolls out of you, baking with him can absolutely be fun - so long as you don’t mind a bit of mess. And if you make something that is too sweet for your tastes, you can leave it to Gojo.

-> [ Gojo gives your affectionate insults right back to you. ] His ego is big enough as it is and he frankly does not care much about what others think of him (though it’s always nice to be appreciated, you know?). But in other words - he’s not going to be offended in the slightest when you lovingly call him an idiot and his ideas stupid. The teasing affection in your tone is clear, and you bet he’s absolutely going to tease you back. He knows you don’t mean your insults, and he doesn’t hold any maliciousness when he teases you in return.

[ ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹ ᰔ ] your complete matchup results!

congratulations . . . ‧₊˚🪐༘✩ SUGURU GETO ₊˚🦦⊹♡

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ chemistry analysis . . .

i was so so so close to matching you with nanami, but then i was like wtf am i doing...geto is right there. i really think that you and geto would work well and look good together (let's pretend adult him didn't resort to genocide asjkl) considering his quiet nature and calm demeanor. he'd be a moment of peace during your days and would absolutely want to relax with you and let you vent for as long as you'd like— whether that was about relationships, work, or life in general, he's a shoulder to lean on.

once again considering that geto did not want to kill every non sorcerer and maintained his original personality, the two of you would have quiet days together where you'd likely have to babysit gojo— but hey, at least you're in it together. he'd share his favorite novels with you and always read your recommendations before picking up another book of his choice, and later give you a whole summary of what he loved and would change about the writing. we all know geto is the scholarly one between him and gojo, and his habits outside of sorcery more than likely reflect that.

my favorite thing that really made me want to pair you with geto, was your hobby for jewelry making. geto's a bit of a flashy guy with fashion, and he'd 100% turn to you whenever he was looking for a new pair of earrings or a stylish necklace to show off. there'd be times where he'd even ask you for tips on how to make his own creations— though he'll always prefer yours— and ultimately fail at replicating the finesse and skill you've already honed. he'd show off your jewelry as well, proudly stating that his partner created it whenever he receives a compliment on whatever he's wearing.

all in all, you and geto would have a very quaint and quiet life together— in which the only thing that matters is each other. you can associate each other with peaceful mindsets...until one of you has to fetch gojo from some sort of screw up he makes. your hobbies reflect that of each other, and you're proud to share passions and moments that are sacred between you. you could also stop him from committing genocide. geto would adore you and understand what a special person you are, which is all that you deserve and more. <3

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ memories on the wall . . .

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ a treasured moment . . .

"this seems to be a dry spot." geto nods in approval at the small patch of grass that avoided the light rainfall the night before, beneath a heaping willow tree that provides convenient shade from the sun showers above. as you stand basking in the heat of summer, he swiftly manages to lay out all of the goods you've brought to the park in mere minutes— record time!

lemon yellow picnic blanket? check.

woven basket full of sweet treats? check.

wine glasses with champagne? check (there's no occasion, you both just like getting tipsy).

"why don't you sit down and i'll take care of everything." his hands are in his hair, tying it up in a high bun whilst looking your way and insisting that he gives you the princess treatment. as if he's a culinary expert, geto handles the food with ease and places it in a stylish manner upon the blanket— to which you burst out laughing, much to his disdain. "what's wrong with it this time? i think it looks great!"

"you're so particular," you giggle and snatch a strawberry from one of the plates, "we're going to eat it all, so why make it look so pretty?"

he sighs and smiles as your face lights up from the sweetness of the strawberry. "i want it to look nice, that way we can take a picture and treasure this memory." oh, why does he have to be the sweetest man you've ever met? you're so lucky to have him (though he believes he's luckier to have you).

reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind his ear, you grin softly at him. the look of love you share is nothing but wonderful, irreplaceable, once in a lifetime, and beautiful. if you, yourself, could name another wonder of the world it would be the love that the two of you share. "geto..." you whisper.

"every moment with you is one that i treasure."

i hope u enjoyed this and i that haven't lost my touch for matchups (it's been so long asjkl) this was so cute to write AHHHHH i love him sm AND U

[prof-president]

i think it’s important for himejoshis to create yuri like fujoshi create yaoi, that being to be entirely delusional and somewhat ignore canonicity in favor of headcanon. and also a healthy dose of Projection.

the downside here is that i physically cannot write abt akimberly i cannot put my headcanons and ideas into words. but, to summarize: kimberly is absolutely not normal, she is just slightly more normal than jamie and luke. this girl was a pure math major and solves ciphers for fun.

i think you need an actual taste of what pure math is because she is not doing any computations or algebra. this girl does proofs and topology and theory of numbers—this is not some fun equation shit this is the reason why those equations do what they do. i cannot stress enough how batshit insane mathheads are, and i say this as someone who likes math because being good with numbers gives you that. math lovers occupy an entirely different dimension because math makes sense beyond numbers.

anyways, this is all to justify that kimberly is extremely silly and only typically isn’t because she doesn’t have as severe adhd and a homoerotic rival. yet.

aki is fucked up for reasons that are obvious, but i do want to address her relationship with fang. mainly, how she wouldn’t be able to be with anyone else bc she’s in love w fang, obsessively.

first of all…fang is 🏳️‍🌈👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👨‍❤️‍👨💅💅✨💖, like it’s not even subtle. he’s just a gay villain henchman in every stereotypical sense. and from the official art, it seems aki’s attraction is wholly one sided, but it is still attraction.

of course, then we get into headcanon about this attraction because considering her backstory, it may just be a twisted sort of obsession and need for validation that’s interpreted through sexual and romantic attraction. what all this boils down to is i don’t think aki is “supposed to be with fang” and i don’t even think that a romantic interpretation is the only valid one. it could be that fang is just her drag mother and she really is just plainly obsessed for his approval and attention, but not looking for much else. think nanami from revolutionary girl utena and touga sort of dynamic.

also, outfit 3 is gay asf. ergo, kimberly is into weird shit and lesbian, aki is the weird shit and bi/lesbian, therefore akim

anyways, i wanted to elaborate on what i think about luke and jamie because i don’t really draw luke. it’s not that i dislike him, it’s more so i tend to draw things i don’t see very often, and there is a lot of luke content so i just draw him less by proxy.

but i do think sometimes there’s a bit of a jump in luke and jamie’s dynamic from enemies to friends/lovers—not much in between. i’m not terribly interested in drawing lukejamie myself, but i hope to provide some in between friendship headcanon art/comics at some point. for now, the headcanons!

luke and jamie are like guinea pigs jockeying for power. what this means is that if they are alone with no barrier between them, they will fight and scrap and try to kill each other for territory. but, as soon as something is put between them, they immediately forget any ill will and fixate on the new thing instead. as soon as that new thing leaves of becomes boring, they immediately start fighting again.

basically, they’re two bitches with severe adhd and just focus on whatever’s most exciting or pressing to them. and that includes working together, which i imagine they do seamlessly. like, they can get alone perfectly fine and normal as if they’re best friends and not even realize it as long as they have something else to focus on.

in this case, it’s “what the actual fuck are you doing kimmy” but that’s neither here nor there. they’re very similar in beliefs and mindset, so it’s rather easy to forget the more negative parts of their rivalry if they have a shared goal or person to annoy.

using my 5d chess brain (kimberly = next chun li, aki = next juri; kimberly x aki) i created the worst kind of yuri.

unfortunately, for most sapphics i know—and it does not matter how sane they appear on the surface—if they got into a relationship w an older dom woman who may or may not’ve tried to kill them at some point they would still follow her to the ends of the earth and then some. guy’s wisdom is infinite, if defeatist.

…and the full image!

[cloudyyangel]

Nanami Kento thinks you look best in his blue button up. He enjoys seeing the stretch and pull of the fabric against your plump body. He also enjoys the events leading up to you tugging on his shirt.

3.3k

nsfw, cw: lack of prep, dry humping, body inclusive reader, afab reader, slight praise kink, one ass smack

△ △ △

Nanami watches as you gather your underwear from the foot of his bed and slip back into them, a small smile playing at your lips. Your wiggles to get them just right over your thighs and ass has Nanami sighing softly as he leans against the headboard- eyeing every piece of plush flesh that bounces with your movements.

He had tried to coax you to stay in bed, dinner can wait sweetheart, but you had been adamant about feeding the over worked and stressed sorcerer (No Kento, I am not a suitable meal! You told him for the fifth time). He had came straight home from work and gotten you into bed before any greetings of hellos or how are yous.

You glance around for your shirt, the one he won’t mention is on the opposite side of the bed by the wall. It’s a game for him; getting you to throw your shirt off in a lust fueled haze and losing it. You always try to find it afterwards, sometimes even nudging him to roll over so you can search under him. Nanami was patient as his gaze followed you around the room- he knew the ultimate victory of the night was close. It sent a pleasant warmth through his chest as you finally give up and pull on the only shirt on the floor.

Nanami is built different, as you’ve jokingly told him many times. He’s tall with broad shoulders and a toned physique from fighting curses over the years. You, in a great difference, are soft with rounded edges that contrast with his sharp angles. You love to watch him flex as he chops vegetables for dinner, or see the taut skin of his stomach as he stretches before bed- it’s everything you’re not and it use to sting a bit, cut into your heart that maybe you weren’t good enough.

Nanami Kento, on the other hand, loves the opposition of your bodies. He loves the soft skin of your shoulders under his hands, to feel fat squeezing between his fingers as he grips your thighs, loves to watch your belly match the pumps of his hips as he drives his cock into you. He loves you, truly and wholeheartedly, and everything about you. Over time his sweet words, sinful praises, and all consuming actions have nestled their way into your body to take home in your skin.

They settle in your heart- the logic conscious man had no time to string someone along or for empty compliments. Fine, Nanami had relented one night after you explain why you’re not enough for him, you are big. You’re also beautiful, smart, amazing, talented. It’s just another word that describes why I love you. You start to believe it after that.

The blue button up you pull on after a session of love making is what he loves the most. Out of all the looks you had, it was his favorite. The fabric clings to the fat of your arms while the wrists are loose. It stretches across your full chest with only three buttons fastened in an attempt to hold you even as they pull taut (you know they’re reliable, just like the man who wears it). It couldn’t cover your tummy, even with how broad he is, but the material covers enough for you to trot around the room in.

It’s ill fitting- not necessarily too small, but made for a slimmer and taller build. Tailor made for Nanami Kento. On you, it’s a frumpy mess- the blue material wrinkling at odd places, bunching up around your arms but god if he doesn’t melt at the sight of you. His blue button up, stretched safely around your bigger form- it reminds him that you are his, that you love him, that he can protect and cherish you. He tries to keep it out as often as he can, fighting his urge to keep everything smartly in its place, just in hopes of you tugging it on. He soon found out that you were more willing to pull it on when you were in a dazed state, wanting to put on some semblance of clothes after an extended period of being exposed. Nanami was more than happy to provide that mindset for you.

This evening, his shirt had been tossed to the floor as soon as he entered the bedroom. His tie was somewhere in the living room, his glasses by the front door, shoes strewn across the entrance. Nanami is a smart man, however, and was careful with this shirt- he let that drop right in the middle of the room, to be sure it was the only thing you saw after he had satisfied both of your needs.

△ △ △

“Impatient, hmm Kento?” You teased as his hands groped at the fat on your hips to pull you even closer to him. He was home exactly on time despite the complaint of overtime and caught you by surprise. Nanami had strode into the bedroom with no words as he let his shirt drop to the floor and immediately captured your lips in a kiss.

The normally composed sorcerer had called on his break to rant about useless colleagues and a curse getting too close for comfort and that he just wanted to hear your voice. He promised to try not to work too late, I miss you darling, but you knew he put everything he had into work and told him you would be waiting for him with a smile.

Nanami hummed as he bruised your lips in a needy kiss. “I just need you.” He had muttered with a rut of his hips against yours. His length was already pronounced and it made you pull back with a slight gasp- light glistened off the string of spit that connected you two.

The situation at work must have gotten to him, his controlled façade had slipped completely off as he attacked you with an usual fervor. His hands squeezed your hips before they roamed over your tummy- it was one of his favorite places to touch and kiss and squeeze and worship.

He never faltered on his slow, methodical, rut against you, not slowing down to even remove both of your bottoms. “K-kento, we can-“ Your suggestion to continue in bed was cut off when his hands wrapped around your back to grope at your ass.

He always did go straight for what he wanted. Which explained why he was rutting you into the wall with spit spread around your lips.

His hips sped up and harsh pants met your face as he pressed forward. Nanami’s brow was furrowed, fingers griped tight on your ass as he slotted between your legs. His composure, his calmness, had been tossed to the side along with his shirt the second he saw you. Now, his cock was leaking into his slacks and he was just so desperate to feel you against him that the wall would do for now.

The new closeness brought his hard cock right against your cunt, still both clothed but the friction was enough to make you grow wet and grind back against him. The angle pushed you up on your toes, desperate to feel even more of him and if you angled your hips just right, you could feel Nanami’s length slide right over your clothed slit.

You had refused on multiple times to be picked up, even when he insisted on multiple times that he could. Instead, he accommodated your needs and wants, simply finding a way to be able to grind against you while he pressed your back against the wall. He bent down to suck the smooth skin of your neck into his mouth, only to increase the speed of his ministrations on your now dripping cunt.

His hips rubbed harder against you, effectively pining you to the wall and it started to burn against your skin. The sting only amplified the feeling every time it rubbed against your pussy lips and you couldn’t help but whimper with every thrust.

Deep in your stomach, something tightened and grew into a comfortable pressure, your orgasm growing with every thrust of Nanami’s hips. One hand left your ass to roughly paw at your chest, his fingers easily found the pebbled nipple and rolled it a few times before he gave a light tug. As you gasped he took the opportunity to shove his mouth over yours, to lavish his tongue against yours. It wasn’t enough for you, or him, but you were the first to break.

You needed more, needed him and needed something physical to touch you. "Kento, please” you whined into his mouth as you felt the soaked fabric of your underwear stick and cling to you.

The broken cry brought Nanami back as he pulled away from your hips, not able to control his harsh pants. The sudden stop made you jerk against him, desperate for any relief against your clit that throbbed under your pants. Nanami stared down at you, blond hair stuck to his sweaty forehead with darkened eyes, and heaved a few deep breaths. His expression cleared as he took in your state- the caretaker role slid back on as he saw how wrecked you were from just a few minutes of dry humping. Your eyes were half lidded and cloudy with tears from the friction, hips still stuttered from the loss of contact, and your chest heaved. When he didn’t move, you reach forward with a grabby hand to tug his belt towards you. He easily caught your hand and slightly ‘tsk’ed when you voiced your displeasure with a frown.

“Look what you do to me.” He sighed and brought both of your hands to his cock that strained against the fabric of his slacks. You desperately gripped at the hardness which earned you a sharp hiss from his kiss bruised lips. You mewled at the sound but Nanami was never one to be outdone.

He eyed your own sex and let out a small chuckle. “Look what I do to you.” He said amused as he rubbed your hands over the wet spot of your pants. The pressure made the fabric catch against your slick lips, swollen from the rough friction and you arched into it before he pulled the hands away. He chuckled at your pout and wiggle to find friction again.

“I can’t believe how needy you are,” you bit out in frustration at his tease, “dry humping me like a virg-.” He swallowed the rest of your retort with a heavy kiss and quick swat to your ass. The small spank had you flatten yourself against the wall with a surprised gasp.

“You’re the one soaked through two layers of clothes. I think you’re the needy one, sweetheart.” He commented with a harsh tug on your ass which slammed your hips against his. It pressed your lips against your clit and sent a jolt through your body and the loud whine that left your lips already proved his point as he dragged you towards the bed. He brought his hands back to himself and left you to stand in front of him.

Nanami didn’t break your gaze as he went to unbuckle his pants and flung them off somewhere (you would tease him later how messy that was, throwing his clothes around like a teenager). You shifted as you watched his thick cock spring free of his slacks. The pretty red head slapped against his flushed stomach and you swallowed a whine as your cunt continued to throb. You would drop to your knees if he asked, pull your knees as wide as they would go, press your face into the mattress- anything to get his perfectly thick pretty cock inside of you. Nanami was observant as ever and smirked as he sat down on the bed.

“Like I said, needy.” His voice was a rumble and the comment sent a flutter through you. Nanami eyed you up and down, still fully clothed even as he sat naked on the bed, and gave a solid pat to his thigh.

“Take off your pants.”

Nerves shot through you- even after being with Nanami for so long. It was a force of habit to hide your body, to not show off and it made your movements lag as you unbuttoned and pulled off your pants. Despite his preference to see you naked- he rarely undressed you himself. He allowed you to take off whatever clothes you felt comfortable enough to remove, and at your own pace.

He was patient, as he always was, while you worked to obey him and not listen to the doubts that swirled in your head. His command, soft as it was, fought against those doubts you had. You wanted to please him, feel the praise run through your body, and that beat out whatever words had been thrown at your body in the past. His pale eyes watched as your thighs were freed and jiggled as you lifted you feet to kick them away.

His legs parted slowly (god what a sight to see Nanami Kento spread his legs wide for your body) and you slotted yourself in between his strong legs. “Look at you,” it came out breathless as he softly slid his hands under your shirt and you took the silent command to throw it off along with your bra, “sweetheart you’re gorgeous.” He pressed a few kisses to your stomach, his lips sinking into your skin. Your hands threaded through his blonde locks to let your nails scrape against his skull.

That was the praise that made every piece of exposed skin worth it- his gentle tone and sweet words sunk into the fat on your body and sent a shiver through you. He responded with soft bites into your even softer skin; his lips sucked a few red marks next to your navel to prove his point.

“Come join me, please Angel. Let me feel you.” He spoke quietly as he lead you onto his lap. You obeyed wordlessly- his words, his voice washed over you and made you compliant. Your weight pressed against his strong thighs, the bed dipped beneath your combined weight, and your stomach trapped his cock between the two of you as you settled down on his lap.

Nanami’s lips instantly latched onto your nipple, sucking and licking the hard bud. His hands roamed across your back, dipped to your love handles to pull you against him and you pressed up closer to his cock. His hips thrusted up on instinct to fuck his cock against your soft stomach, and drew a small moan from your lips. You rolled your hips against him which left behind a nice slick of your juices on his lap. His cock twitched against your stomach just as your clit pulsed from lack of stimulation.

Nanami was more than happy to lazily roll hips against hips until someone gave in. Once again, you broke first. “Wanna feel you Kento, please.” You muttered as your hips sped up on his lap. Your clit throbbed with every light push and you could feel the quiver travel through your thighs.

“You will, sweet girl. I’ll fill you up, give you what you need.” He promised as his hand travelled down to finally touch your wet pussy. His long fingers teased your slit and one easily slid between the folds. He had been the one to storm into the room and dry hump you to a wreck, but now wanted to properly get you ready.

You tried not to pout at him being a gentlemen to prep you but at this point he had teased you too long. You whined and weaved your fingers through his light hair to tug his gaze up to your own. Your empty cunt was painful as it pulsed around nothing. “No, please Kento, I need you now. I promise I can take it I promise just- I need you right now please please-“ he kissed your babbles away and moved his hands to grip the back of your thighs. He was patient, but even he had a limit.

Nanami pulled back to lock his pale gaze onto your teary eyes. “Can you handle that sweetheart?” He asked firmly, any tease gone.

You nodded quickly, blinking away tears at the need of his fat cock inside of you. “Promise Ken! I promise!” You whined and he shushed you again.

“That’s enough baby, lift up for me.” You pushed up on your knees and pawed at his chest as he lined up at your entrance. Your little whines of ‘please’ were silenced as the tip of his cock slipped through your slick hole.

As Nanami helped you lower yourself, he let out a string of encouragements, “You can take it, I know you can good girl, just go slow, don’t rush yourse-“ his words were cut off with a broken moan as you spread your knees and sank further down on his cock. “F-fuck baby.” His head dropped against your shoulder and he fully moaned.

Nanami was vocal in the aspect that he would praise you, give you commands, but those moans were special and sent an electrical shock right to your core. You griped at his hair and wrapped your arms around his neck with your own whine as his thick cock stretched you out.

It burned. As wet as you were, it practically dripped down your legs, his fat cock still stretched and squeezed itself inside of it. You slowly sank down until you met his lap once more, thick cock buried in your fat pussy. Neither of you moved for a moment, enjoying the fill and stretch of each other. His hands clawed into the extra fat on your thighs, sure to leave pinpoint bruises in the morning, and gave a small bounce.

“Ah! Not yet, wait,” you stammered out with a whimper to his hair, your pussy throbbed around the intrusion.

“You can do it for me sweetheart, move and bounce on my cock, yeah? You’ll be a good girl.” He coaxed into your neck with a few swipes of his tongue.

You nodded instantly, his words wiped out any doubts or pain you had. “Ye-yeah. I can.” You confirmed and raised up on your knees slightly before you dropped your weight back down.

He let you set the pace, happy to feel the rise and fall of your thighs on his, watch your tits bounce, feel the tight squeeze of your cunt on his cock, hear the pants right by his ear. “Kento, Kento,” you chanted as your rises got higher and quicker.

His own pants and moans were almost lost in the mix of your vocalizations and the squelch of your pussy around his cock. The tightness that formed deep in your belly came back, egged on by the sounds and feel of Nanami. “More! Ken, I need more, please, just, just a lil’ more.”

You leaned back from him to grind your hips down just as he moved to thrust up to hit right there oh god that was the spot. Your moan was loud and delicious to him as the head of his cock brushed the spongy spot inside of you that left you slack jawed. He took advantage of your leaned back form and laid back on the bed before he bucked his hips. You fell forward, catching yourself on his chest. “More, sweet girl?” He questioned with a smile of adoration and lust.

Nanami was nothing short of a giving and loving partner, always happy to give you exactly what you asked for. In this new position, he was quick to thrust up so hard that it jerked you forward. That warmth in your belly grew sharper, brighter, as it weaved through your body with every hit of his cock inside of you. He continued his thrusts as you threw yourself back to meet his hips. Wet slaps of his cock being driven into you mingled with your loud moans and his quieter grunts.

He never could keep his hands still at this point. His hands groped at your jiggly ass, moved to cup your belly that hung over him, pinched at your nipples on your tits that swung right in his face, and pulled your thighs apart to watch his cock piston in and out of you. It was too much for him, just to watch you and everything about you as you bounced on top of him with such lewd sounds and faces. He loved you. “My good girl, you’re taking me so well, bouncing on my cock so nicely. How does it feel princess?”

Your arms threatened to give out as your hands clenched into fist on top of his chest. “Good! ‘S good Kento! Your- ah! your cock ‘s hitting so good!” You managed to respond as he continued to jack hammer into your soppy cunt. Nanami deepened his thrusts at your words, pleased that you always listened to him even with his cock that wiped most thoughts out of your mind. “Close, gonna...wanna cum with you.” You whined over his quiet grunts.

One hand left your ass and settled on the fat of your pussy right above the sensitive little bud that begged for touch. Your clit throbbed with the closeness and you leaned closer to him. He responded by snapping his cock deeper into you, a wet smack echoing with every thrust. “ ‘m close too princess, your so tight around me. ‘M gonna fill you up nice and full, okay? Make you bigger with all my cum.” His thumb found your clit and gave it a soft rub.

A jolt of sensation travelled through your body. “So deep, cum so deep inside me, puh-, puhlease!” Your begs and pleads became a mess as Nanami sped up the circles on your clit. Only utters of “Ken!”, “puhlease!” “Cum ‘n me!” fell from your mouth as your orgasm grew. You slunk down on his chest, almost laid out flat on him as his hips kept up their relentless pace. The circling of your clit, your cunt leaking around his fat cock, the warmth in your belly, Nanami’s praises of good girl my good girl- everything snapped.

You came loudly with stars behind your eyes, called out his name with a quiver that ran through your thighs and a gush of your juices that coated his lap beneath you as you full collapsed against his chest. He fucked you through your orgasm as he gave you one, two, three deep pumps- his hips only stilled with his cock buried balls deep as he emptied his cum inside your pulsing cunt and his lips praised your name. It took a moment to feel your thighs stop their shake, feel his cum settle into you, as you both recovered from your orgasms.

His chest heaved under you, arms wrapped around your waist to drag you up off his softening cock. You whined at the drag, positive both his lap and the sheets would be a mess of your combined cum. These moments, basked in the afterglow, neither of you could care about stained sheets and leaking cum.

Nanami settled you against his side and his lips dropped a slow and deep kiss against your own. “Love you, love you Kento.” You mumbled. “I love you, my darling.”

△ △ △

So yes, seeing his shirt on you- face still flushed, hair a mess, red bite marks decorating your plush stomach- it was his favorite look.

Original Character Design #2

Fandom : Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba

[Art does not belong to me!]

—

Name : Kusanagi Chiyo

Meaning : 'Kusanagi' (literally translating to Grass-mower) is a magical sword in Japanese Mythology that Amaterasu (the sun goddess) gifted to her son Ninigi. 'Chiyo' means 'A Thousand Generations'.

Age : 23 [Giyuu is slightly aged up to 24. Also, I forgot when he was elected as Hashira but in my au he was chosen at 17 and took Chiyo as tsugoku at age 18.]

Occupation : Demon Slayer

Rank : Hashira, former tsugoku of Water Hashira — Tomioka Giyuu

Nichirin blade : Cyan, the blade has waves on it's sharp edge to provide accuracy to her hits

Personality : Unlike her Breathing Style, she has a warm personality. She isn't necessarily bubbly but her aura oozes familiarity and a sense of comfort. Yet, anyone who dares to hurt her family, they'll see her icy demeanor, alright.

Appearance : Straight, long silvery hair that reaches till her hips. Her bangs are pulled back into double-buns which are framed by bedazzled strings. She has pale skin and very light blue eyes, almost gray. Her haori is black with patterns resembling clouds strew along them and she wears the standard Slayer Uniform [Black button-up coat, white undershirt, black skirt, paired with a white belt]. Her casual attire generally consists of a mustard coloured yukata and a pair of tan-red hakama alongside a white haori.

Hobbies : She likes baking. Ever since a mission took her into the heart of Japan and her hungry self was presented with sugary, baked goods named cakes, she has been obsessed. Due to coming from a family of business owners in the West, she easily has access to imported ingredients for the task. Another thing she enjoys is reading. From the multiple archives at the Cloud Estate to cookbooks and homeopathy guides, she has read it all.

Favourite Hashira : Tomioka Giyuu. Partly because he is her former mentor and partly because they are in looooooveee~

Breathing Style : Frost Breathing. Chiyo never had the mindset to concentrate on the gentle yet tumultuous style of Water Breathing and, with a bit of push from an adorable Nanami who was only eight then, she created the precise and speedy form of Frost Breathing. It has nine forms up till now with numerous of them inspired heavily from Water Breathing, she could only adjust a few steps and movements.

Congrats again!!!! This game is so much fun! We talk quite often about random stuff lol, mainly sending supportive memes back and forth! I’m really glad to have befriended you!! You’re wonderful and being a smile to my face every time I see you in my dash or in my notifs, I’m happy others have found your work and see how great you are!

1. jjk male matchup please! Or Haikyuu if you can’t find anyone in jjk that would work with me but only one matchup!

2. Strengths youre making me talk nicely about myself gross I’m hella supportive of others goals and am willing to do what it takes to help them succeed, I can handle emergency situations without panicking (this has honestly come in handy so many times), I’m very flexible when things/life/situations need to be changed. My most used phrase lately is “we’ll make it work” weaknesses I get distracted easily and have trouble focusing. I can be overly sensitive. Im bad about replying to messages in a timely manner without forgetting about them.

3. I spend my days taking care of others. I try to make time 3-4 times a week to lift weights. I spend my evenings reading.

4. 3 things you want in a relationship ~commitment to me and our future, I can’t handle wishy washy feelings ~fun and laughter! ~open good communication. being able to talk about everything is so so so important. 3 things I want in a s/o ~good sense of humor ~good communicator or is at least willing to work on improving communication in between us ~loyalty. I feel like I just said the same things twice? So I’ll add one, must be okay with me getting a pet snake!

5. I collect stickers and pins. I like to crochet, but am not very good. I love trying new recipes. I’m currently looking for a good conchas recipe, but am worried they just won’t be the same. I love the summer and dislike snow.

6. Gojo, yeah yeah he’s hot and I can see us being friends, but I don’t think I could ever have a relationship with him. Also, Tsukishima if you go with hq. He would say something salty, I would be hurt easily and cry. Then I would be petty and try and hurt him. It would be a shit show.

I have been on this ship ever since I read your ask okay! I JUST NEED YOU TO BE WITH SOMEONE WHO VALUES YOU AND KNOWS HOW TO TREAT YOU!

I 100% think you would bring out the soft side in Nanami, you’ll make him uncover new goals outside of merely surviving. At first, he definitely would be stuck in his usual mindset but what the gorgeous man did not realize is that love can change everything ;-;

Now, I should say that whenever Nanami is not on a mission or busy with his usual work, he is trying to spend as much time as possible with you! Sometimes that means surprising you when you’re at the gym. You’ll be so concentrated on your weights that you won’t notice him arrive, but when you do notice him, you’ll feel more energized because of his presence! Honestly, I can’t say that Nanami is there to work on his own body – mostly he’s there just to steal glances of you because you’re SO DAMN CUTE WHEN CONCENTRATING. Not that he’ll ever admit that tho 😉

Being able to handle emergency situations without panicking is a MUST for someone dating a jujutsu sorcerer! So your “we’ll make it work” personality is going to be perfect whenever unexpected events occur. He’s going to need someone as emotionally strong as you by his side, because let’s be honest, Nanami is not weak hearted. He needs a partner, not a liability. And thankfully you are that! Someone he can rely on and someone he loves!And I know you may be saying, but I can be overly sensitive – that is 100% fine. It’s something he will get used to, and tending to your emotional needs is something he places a focus on. Just not when the world is exploding, ya get my drift?

Your relationship with Nanami would be mostly steady, since you’re both very open about your feelings and obligations. Whenever you’re upset, his goal is to sooth you, and not pry. He knows you’ll open up to him when you’re ready. That being said, he would not leave you alone in times like this. He’d probably whip up some calming tea or beverage and then rub circles against your hand to remind you silently he isn’t going anywhere!

As a side note - special events/days? He will be there by your side - work can wait! 

Imma be honest, when you first tell him that you want a pet snake, he’ll flat out say “no” but when he realizes how important this is to you… he’ll sigh and give in. who is he to keep you from your happiness??

Even if you’re not the best at crochet, if you made him something, this man WOULD SEE ERROR SIGNS. Because HELLO??? You made him something?? He would 100% wear it, especially if it’s a scarf. And if Gojo even thinks of making a remark HE WILL P A Y

What he loves is that you’re someone who takes care of others, and so while you take care of others, he makes it his goal to take care of you! Especially if you get sick, he will take care of everything. And since he’s actually a reliable partner, you’re able to sleep well knowing everything will not turn to shit.

The only thing is… the good sense of humour, it will take him time to loosen up. Pls be patient. Your personality will rub off on him! BUT until then, you can take some relief in the small smiles he gives you whenever something funny happens. 

Small drabble 

“What are you holding?” Pressing your lips together, you analyzed the large basket within his grasp. A variety of holiday themed items could be seen through the transparent wrapping that was secured around it. The sight brought your eyebrows to raise questiongly at your partner, as you fought off the smile pushing to reach your lips. 

“Do you not like it?” The question was posed in a hesitant manner. It was clear he was now internally re-evaluating his decision. Yuji had selected this particular basket with him at the store, and guaranteed that you would like it. Nanami’s only goal was to provide you with a pleasant surprise - did he really screw up that badly? 

“I love it.” You were quick to notice his troubled state, and in order to eliminate his concerns, you proceeded closer to him before pressing a kiss of gratitude against his cheek. The blonde male nodded in response, but there was no hiding his satisfaction with your answer. 

Mission accomplished. 

“I’ll go put it on the table. It can be our centerpiece!” After accepting the gift basket, you took a step away from him, while smiling down at the bright bow attached to the plastic. But before you could leave, Nanami snuck an arm around your waist, tugging you back towards him. In the spirit of being spontaneous, he pressed a kiss against your head, prior to sighing out “I love you” softly. 

For you, he would do anything. Even trying his hand at “romantic” gestures. 

A/N: LAURA. I hope you like this <3 THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING SO SWEET AND SUPPORTING ME! also I would never set you up with that salty ass fry from Karasuno. you deserve 1000000000000 times more!

Otomedia Winter 2020: BNA: Brand New Animal Interview with Writer Kazuki Nakashima

The Winter 2020 Otomedia includes an interview with writer Kazuki Nakashima concerning his work on BNA: Brand New Animal, Studio Trigger’s upcoming anime. Do take the following information with a grain of salt, but here are some highlights. Special thanks to SieteSeventh for the article.

🏀 There is quite a bit of talk about the logistics of the world. Nakashima spent a lot of time considering the nature of animal-humans in this universe. 

🏀 The interviewer notes that many were very surprised to see Shirou as a human in the second key visual:

🏀 Nakashima says that the animal-humans are humans, not beasts. If I'm understanding correctly, the main form of animal-humans is, in fact, human. Director Yoh Yoshinari had the idea of a sort of "animalization," where humans would have the ability to transform into beasts.

🏀 Nakashima cites Osamu Tezuka's manga Vampire (also translated as Vampires and The Vampires) as a visual inspiration, noting a desire to create fun human-to-beast transformation sequences that animation can capture so wonderfully and interestingly. You can read more about Vampire here. 

🏀 It's not stated explicitly in the interview, but I think it may be implied that the team was inspired by the story of Vampire as well (which, despite the name, is more about werewolf-like creatures—humans who can transform into animals).

🏀 Both Vampire and BNA emphasize troubled relations between animal-humans and humans. In BNA, animal-humans—who are not the result of a mutation but have indeed always existed and simply came to light in the 21st century—began to desire a town of their own. 

🏀 Animal-humans wanted to leave their conflicts with humans behind. As such, Anima City was born, a place where animal-humans could live freely.

🏀 Nakashima mentions an animal-human rights movement within Anima City. Animal-human discrimination seems to be a key aspect of BNA. Unlike other stories that feature anthropomorphized animals, the animal-humans in BNA are another type of human, and Nakashima wanted to properly express that worldview. The interviewer notes that the setting does feel real with the animal-human discrimination from humans.

🏀 But Nakashima also wants to focus on the fun lives of the animal-humans in the city. 

🏀 Nakashima wants to show many different kinds of animal-humans. When asked about what kinds of animal-humans to look forward to, Nakashima notes that some concepts do have to be scrapped. For example, Nakashima says they had to scrap sea turtles (possibly a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?) and expresses disappointment at this decision.

🏀 Among the animal-humans is the protagonist of BNA, Michiru, a girl who was originally human but is now unable to return to her human appearance. She always has the form of an animal-human.

🏀 The animal-human world exists in darkness, and the protagonist is someone who connects the worlds of animal-humans and humans. Michiru comes into this new world and clashes with the society. 

🏀 Anima City is apparently a city surrounded by mountains and water. The interviewer questions the sensibility of a city surrounded by mountains and water. Nakashima says that Anima City was created as a special zone by the Japanese government in order to isolate the animal-humans. Having such a setting is also fun for animation, he says.

🏀 Nakashima notes how Yoh Yoshinari (director of Little Witch Academia) has a very different style from Hiroyuki Imaishi (director of Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, and Promare, all of which Nakashima also wrote for). Nakashima describes Imaishi as being skilled with caricature, whereas Yoshinari is more realistic. 

🏀 Nakashima is a writing person, while Yoshinari is a drawing person, so they of course have different mindsets. But they managed to find a common language while working on BNA.

🏀 Nakashima admits that he and Yoshinari are "old men who are prone to easily emphasize with Shirou." But Shirou can't be the protagonist instead of Michiru, and Yoshinari is constantly thinking about how to strengthen Michiru's character.

🏀 Michiru is described as a 17-year-old girl who will drive the story: she will get in and out of this situation of her own volition. 

🏀 In regards to Michiru's relationship with Shirou, Nakashima does confirm that it is the focal relationship of Brand New Animal.  

🏀 Nakashima says that Yoshimasa Hosoya's "rather somber and sexy voice" fits Shirou well. He's looking forward to the combination of Hosoya's voicework with Sumire Morohoshi's, who has a lively, cheerful portrayal of Michiru.

🏀 Nakashima admits that Michiru and Shirou's relationship is unsurprising and basic: a stubborn man finds himself face-to-face with a woman who opposes his stubbornness. How much of his stubbornness will be destroyed? However, portraying the basics well is important, he says.

🏀 While Michiru and Shirou are the focus, Nakashima says to pay attention to the other relationships, too. Pay attention to Michiru's relationship with her friend Nazuna, and pay attention to Shirou's relationship with the mayor.

🏀 Nakashima says to pay attention to Alan, too. He's introduced in episode 3 and plays a huge role in the story.

🏀 When asked about Nazuna, Nakashima says that she first appears in a flashback of Michiru's in the beginning and becomes important in the latter half of the show.

🏀 Michiru and Shirou's relationship may be the focus, but Nakashima emphasizes that Michiru's relationship with Nazuna is also involved in the story in a big way.

🏀 Nakashima stresses the importance of depicting teen girls realistically. Two women screenwriters are on board: Kimiko Ueno and Nanami Higuchi. Both wrote for Little Witch Academia. Ueno also wrote for Space Patrol Luluco, and Higuchi was behind the production reports in Trigger Magazine (and, interestingly, wrote the script for the anime adaptation of BEASTARS).

🏀 In regards to Michiru and Nazuna's relationship, producer Naoko Tsutsumi (also an animation producer for Kiznaiver and Little Witch Academia) provides input as well. Nakashima says that they greatly value and take to heart the opinions of the women creators. 

🏀 In regards to Alan, he is the only person in the world of animal-humans who represents humans. He also plays a major role in the founding of Anima City and has a huge part within the story to carry out. Nakashima hopes audiences will notice how Alan contacts the heroes.

🏀 Nakashima references overseas dramas. Like those, the relationships in BNA also become more complicated very quickly, and you'll be asking, "What happens next?" I think Nakashima then comments about how many overseas dramas are canceled before their stories are completed.

🏀 To keep BNA from getting too big, Nakashima has limited the story to Anima City; writing about the human world as well would spread things out too far. However, what happens in Anima City does affect the whole world of Brand New Animal.

That’s about all I got. I’m sure a better translation will come around before too long, but this is what I was able to gather with my limited Japanese. I hope y’all are as excited for BNA as I am!

[oumakokichi]

Do you think Ouma's character would've been improved if we got a look into his head and thoughts like we did Komaeda in SDR2? It seems a lot of people are having a lot of trouble seeing why he does what he does and instead have concluded that he does things for the hell of it.

As much as I’d love to have a segment like that, I don’treally think one is necessary to understand Ouma. Unlike Komaeda, who waspresented both as a force of conflict and a parallel to Hinata’s journey ofself-discovery, Ouma is presented as much more of… well, a mystery.

Of course, there are aspects of Komaeda that are mysterious—butthose mostly center around the things he himself discovers over the course ofthe game, i.e. about himself and all his classmates being Remnants of Despair,about Hinata’s talent (or lack thereof), etc. As far as Komaeda as a charactergoes, his backstory is provided fairly easily through his FTEs, as long as theplayer chooses to get to know him. Even without his FTEs, his dialogue andbehavior alludes to why he does the things he does far earlier than theplayable segment we have as him.

That segment did wonders in clearing up a lot of questionsabout Komaeda’s character, but I feel that it was also provided specificallybecause Komaeda as a character was able to do things no one else could. None ofthe rest of his classmates have such terrifying luck, after all. Completing theescape-the-room game and besting the Russian Roulette game with only a 1/6chance was something only he could pull off at that particular moment.

None of the other characters would have worked nearly aswell (for instance, Hinata or even Nanami completing that scene wouldn’t haveallowed for the 1/6 foreshadowing which happened later on in Chapter 5 with thechance of the traitor actually triggering his murder). We were presented thatbrief stint through Komaeda’s eyes in order to both explain more clearly theway in which his luck works, to foreshadow events in future chapters, and toshow that there was a clear shift in his mindset the moment he made thosediscoveries about himself and his classmates, which is further proven by hisbehavior during the Chapter 4 trial.

With Ouma, however, I think receiving such a clear-cutscene, at least during the course of the game itself, would be akin to “openingthe catbox.” There’s a lot of very deliberate Schrodinger’s Catbox imagery whenit comes to Ouma—not least of all the entirety of Chapter 5. The general ideaof a catbox is that as long as the box is “closed” (i.e. as long as nothing isconfirmed) multiple conflicting answers can coexist at the same time. Hence, “thecat in the box can be alive” and “the cat in the box can be dead” at the sametime.

But “opening” the box means eliminating those coexistinganswers and settling for just one. I do think Kodaka will probably provide moreconcrete information on Ouma (and on all of ndrv3, for that matter) later on,but I don’t think he’s ready to do so quite yet. Kodaka has enjoyed teasingcatbox endings for both dr1 and sdr2 long before providing an “answer sheet” ofsorts. With ndrv3 and its extremely open-ended nature, I think he’ll teasethings out even more before providing more clarification.

Unlike Komaeda, absolutely everything about Ouma ispresented as a mystery. Even by Chapter 6, only a few concrete answers havebeen provided—namely about DICE and his no-killing motto, as well as a fewother hints which make it easier to read between the lines when going back andrereading his dialogue. But his backstory, his real talent, why he was able toknow the things he knew, and whether he actually remembered more than theothers or not, are all left extremely ambiguous.

There are multiple ways to read into his character. Even thefact that he’s so widely hated on a first playthrough is extremely intentional.As long as people take everything he says maliciously and believe him to be avillain, that’s exactly how he’ll come across, because he does, in fact, playinto the villain role in order to accomplish his objectives. But upon lookingback at his dialogue with a fresh perspective and searching for hints which weknow are presented in later chapters, well, all of his behavior looks prettydifferent in hindsight.

Even after his death, Ouma as a character is largely leftinside the catbox. Saihara manages to clear up the fact that he’s not theringleader or the leader of the Remnants, but that’s about it. His motives,mindset, and whether he was a “good person” or not are all subjects not touchedon much in the actual Chapter 6 trial, because these are mysteries to bepondered after finishing the game in its entirety.

Being presented with a scene from Ouma’s perspective about whyhe does the things he does, his empathy, or his desire to end the killing gamewould definitely make people more sympathetic to his character, I think—but itwould also have meant handing out the answer as early as Chapter 4 or 5. Somuch of Ouma as a character works only because he’s a mystery through andthrough. Kodaka really wanted people to go back and try and figure him out, Ithink, especially when his main desire both in his bonus mode ending and evenhis love hotel scene is to be chased around and “understood” in the end.

With Komaeda, having a scene from his perspective helpedclarify a lot about his behavior, especially the shift his attitude takes inChapter 4. But Komaeda was never really presented as a tremendous mystery as awhole, but rather someone who was in search of answers himself. With Ouma, Idon’t think the same narrative tactic would’ve worked quite as well, especiallywhen there are already so many “protagonist” switches throughout ndrv3. We seemany characters’ mindsets, however briefly, but Ouma himself is always anenigma.

This is just my take on it, in the end! I think it’s truethat some people are having trouble understanding why Ouma behaves the way hedoes or what his true motivations were, but that was also the case back whenthe game first launched in January. Hopefully with some more time to think onit and replay the game, people will go back and see little hints and clues thatthey missed the first time around! And even if people still don’t like Oumawhen all’s said and done, that’s okay. My intent with this blog was never toforce anyone to like a certain character, but just to write meta and analysisabout some of my thoughts on the game!

Thank you for your question, anon! It was a lot of fun toanswer!

so with Ouma quickly becoming one of the most popular NDRV3 characters, do you think we'll see a spinoff with him ala the Komaeda/Nanami/Souda mangas or 2.5 or Kirigiri Sou? Or is Kodaka just kinda... done? Any predictions on what it would look like? :0

I’d say it’s a very realpossibility! Ouma not only scored #2 on the Japanese character poll, but alsois above and beyond the most popular ndrv3 character at the DR café.

Special café merchandise inJapan is often priced in secondhand stores according to character popularity,because people only pawn off merch from characters they didn’t particularlywant to get out of the gacha—this means that there’s a higher stock forcharacters who aren’t as popular, while merch from the super popular charactersis harder to come by and therefore the price is scaled accordingly.

The price for Ouma merch thelast time I checked was already ten timesas expensive as Tenko’s—he even outpriced Saihara’s merch by almost twiceas much, even though Saihara scored above him in the actual poll. This meansthat Ouma is very, very clearly popular with the Japanese fanbase, and alsothat his character sells very well (I myself would buy merch if only I had anyactual money to speak of or could afford to visit Japan).

I think considering all thisand the fact that he’s an incredibly interesting, complex character, itdefinitely wouldn’t be unheard of for him to get some kind of light novel,manga, or even perhaps a visual novel spinoff a la Kirigiri Sou. He and Amamiare perhaps the two most likely ndrv3 characters to receive such spinoffmaterial, in my opinion.

Though it’s true perhaps thatKodaka might want to keep some things in the catbox with Ouma, considering thenature of his character, I feel as if he also likes answering those thingsafter a set amount of time has passed. After all, relatively little was knownabout Junko until the release of dr0. Even the fact that her real talent wasSHSL Analysis was something dr1 didn’t allude to much or touch on at all. Sothe light novels helped clarify a lot of questions about Junko when she wassuch a huge mystery initially, even though they still didn’t answer everything.

With Ouma I wouldn’t besurprised if any side material was either a glimpse at his pre-game self andhis motivations for entering the killing game, or perhaps a look at ndrv3through Ouma’s own eyes. Either one would be fascinating.

If it were the former, I have afeeling quite a lot would touch on the fact that his objective was likely toend the killing game from the start; we would perhaps also get a lot moreclarification on what his actual pre-game personality was like, whether DICEhad any basis in reality or not, and what Ouma’s home life might have beenlike. There’s a lot of room to expand there, and considering how many theoriespeople are trying to piece together, I wouldn’t doubt Kodaka might want toprovide some solid answers sooner or later.

If it were the latter, well,there’s just as many questions about what really went on in Ouma’s head insidethe game. I’ve speculated and theorized here on this blog, and many others havedone the same on theirs, but it would definitely be nice to get some realconfirmation. I would love to see confirmation of Ouma’s actual talent, since I’mstill fairly certain it’s something along the lines of SHSL Chessmaster, but ifKodaka ever came out and said it was the truth, I’d be thrilled. And I’d loveto see more actual insight into Ouma’s mindset and the struggles he must havefaced having to lie to himself on such a regular basis even when he hated thekilling game so much.

These are just my predictionsanyway! I don’t know when or if these things will ever actually happen, but itwould definitely be fun to see, and I think if Kodaka is interested in makingthe most of people’s interest in the franchise right now, it would probably bethe wisest decision to touch on things about either Ouma or Amami in thespinoff materials—Tsumugi too, in my opinion, if he wants her to ever stopscoring last on the character polls, haha. Anyway, thank you for asking!
