Polyam! Ghostface Comforting GN! Reader About Their SA

A/N- yeah. hiii. it's billy !! im back. again. plz read with caution- there is no mention of the assault itself (it is alluded to many times; there are no intimate details), still. you know yourself best. stay safe lovelies <33

I tried keeping the assaulters identity neutral- but let me know if i messed up and used he/him pronouns at all and i'll edit the post :3

Billy is unable to understand the full scope of your traumas, however, he understands that it runs deep, that if your anything like he is that you feel it in your bones and the ache of your body.

Trauma is so personal and crushing. He wants nothing more than to take that away from you, endlessly lift your spirits, he wants to make you feel whole again. Loves you too much to see you like this.

He can't do that. As much as he and Stu can do, they can't erase what has already happened. He will be there as much as he can, for whatever you need. He has always been devoted to his loves- it increases tenfold when you open up about your assault.

Stu automatically wants to kill the perpetrator, takes Billy aside to tell him all his gruesome thoughts- until Billy stops him. Tells him, roughly, to shut up. You don’t know what you're talking about, man. Our little love needs to make that choice on their own.

Billy talks about it with Stu beforehand obvi. Billy wants to wait for you to ask them about killing your assaulter, while Stu would go to you and ask straight up if you want to be the one to kill them (if you want them dead. He won't understand if you desire to keep them alive tee bee aich, but he'll honor your choice).

Stu just like. He doesn't get it. He doesn't handle it well at first. He's far too brash and laughing- well. Not laughing, he knows enough to realize that would have been a bad move. Though he seems to not know enough as he's all jokes still.

Both boys are so emotionally stunted- Stu has only had to comfort girlfriends before (which, he was admittedly not the best at. He stole apologies and one liners from movies) and the brief vulnerable moments that Billy allows himself to show. C'mon, give him a pass, okay? He's trying :(

Stu's comforts are all hugs and cuddles and gifts- depending how you react to those things, maybe he won't have to branch out too hard. Either way you'll need more than one source or level of comfort- Stu WILL learn new things for you, though.

He has a hard time if you don't want physical touch! He gets all whiny about it and it pisses you off, you have to give him a stern talking to that it's NOT about him and he has no right to act like that. Psssh whatever . . .

(he's really sorry though. He promises)

He buys you so many things, as if that will ever make what happened okay. He hopes you appreciate it though. He'll get all sorts of comfort items, food and stuffies and stuff that he KNOWS you love. He'll buy it in bulk if he has to lol

For learning things, it's hard on all of you, but he and Billy will try their darndest to be emotionally available (just for you, babe!!). Billy is good at listening, Stu needs to get better with it.

Billy just listens to what you have to say, and I think on really emotional nights he opens up about his own trauma. He opens his wounds so you know he genuinely cares and is committed to you. Regardless of anything and everything. Billy will make himself a permanent fixture in your life, always.

(again really not that Stu wouldn't but it's so different y'all)

ALSO NIGHTMARES OHMYGOD

If you have nightmares they'll stay up with you until you're ready to fall asleep (or at least try).

They make it an all-nighter and pretend they were always planning for movie night. If you want to watch something that's not horror? Yeah, that's okay!

Most of Stu's VHS collection is horror lol

Though he does have some buddy comedies and cheesy romcoms. He owns one or two mysteries cause Billy likes them.

Anyways !!! Have your pick darlin' <333 They won't judge or complain

Admittedly they aren't great with panic attacks. Billy gets anxious- what if he makes it WORSE? He'd hate himself for it. Stu is surprisingly good at grounding you though :D

All in all- it's an adjustment for everyone. They're gonna be there for you forever though, okay? Good luck getting rid of them <3

I just traced somebody else's artwork for practice, feeling quite guilty as I went. Didn't post it anywhere and wasn't claiming the design as mine, but still the "psssh you're a failure, other artists don't trace" thoughts creeped in.

Thing is, that piece still took me like, 3 hours, at least, because while I traced the lineart, in effort to perfectly replicate what that person did without knowing how they layered their own workspace, I still had to do all my own color matching and experimenting on how they might've done the shading, or what tools they might've used to get the line art to look a specific way, when they used black vs a darker color to the fill color, trial and erroring my way while focusing on single tiny details of their work that I wouldn't otherwise notice simply appreciating it as a whole.

Sure eyedropper tool exists but they had a ~gradient~ and layered highlights and shadows that, to copy-paste colors via eyedropper for every slight change in hue, would have been tedious as hell and sloppy looking. Despite my tracing, it's still not a dead on match, some of the lines are slightly different and my colors are definitely not exact to theirs beacuse I didn't use the eyedropper tool, but it might be the cleanest piece I've ever made.

And I learned a lot!

(JS) Monaca convinced the rest of the aged up! WOH to the island, but curiously kept them in the dark about the details. What to them seems like a normal trip to the beach house will turn into a much more perverted ghoulish surprise~

Disclaimer: R18 material! If not to your liking then please do not view!

(This takes place prior to Team Emma residing there)

"So this is the place Monaca told us to meet at, right Naggy-sa?" asked Masaru. In his hands was a bat he brought with him to have beating zombies with.

"It's Nagisa and...that is correct. She should be arriving a bit later. Said she was needed somewhere else on the island?" Nagisa said, holding onto a tablet with a map of Jabberwock on it.

"Psssh, knowing that bitch she's probably lounging her fat ass around somewhere..." guessed Kotoko. In her hands was a hockey stick.

"Ummmm, s-s-s-so...we just gotta go in hereeee as a hideout? Biiit out the wa-" Jataro started. His backpack was filled with supplies smuggled in for the group. Monaca, in an act of 'charity' had warned them ahead of time of the island's danger and saw fit to allow them some means of extra protection compared to everyone else.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go in!!!!" impulsively, Masaru shoved all three of his friends inside the door...

And it locked behind them? Huh? Inside there were four immensely attractive, being busty and curvy, yet also very strong, ghouls!!! Oh shit!!

It wasn't long before they were on them!

"Gaaaaaaaah!! What is this!!!" Nagisa yelled, blushing as his shirt was swiped and the twink found his chest being rubbed and caressedby one.

"Th-that bitch sold us out!!! H-heeeeeeeeyyyy!! Paws off the merchandise!!!" squealed Kotoko, as another ghoul gripped her thicc buns and easily ripped away her skirt and panties. Leaving her bashful and moaning from the surprising lower nudity.

"OWOWOWOWOOWW!!! LOW BLOW!! LOW BLOWWWW!!" shrieked Masaru. He may have grown to 6ft in height, but by damn does it not matter when a ghoul was in your pants, and giving you a frontal wedgie until your boxers rip.

"S-s-s-say....should we, um...run?" Jataro asked, as another ghoul had ripped away the femboy's shirt to start licking at his chest and neck, clearly infatuated with this one. Heck, she even managed to get his shorts down to grope at his ass too. Not that he seemed to mind, of course.

"YESSSSS!!!!!"

Through luck, all four opened a window and managed to escape...unfortunately with the ghouls in hot pursuit. On the flipside, this left the beach house empty for any actresses to reside in.

This also meant Monaca had nice footage to rewind for when she got bored...in her undisclosed location of course~

2nd Island Survivors

Nagisa: 3/4

Masaru: 3/4

Kotoko: 2/4

Jataro: 2/4

alright, chapter power ranger stories I plan

-Chad breaking his leg and he’s out of commission for a long two months. You know Brian from that one episode. He takes his place as blue. And also Chad’s sad because he can’t do much mow

-Dana and Ryan Swap Au. Let me just it, more emotional whump than physical but I want to do this.

-Jack and Z growing up on the streets. Yeah. Not going to go into too much detail but I mean, they gotta be a little messed up from it

-Madison and Vida get sent to a dimension that is in battle with the villain that sent them there. The Aquatic creatures (Imagine them as like the Luca creature.) look up to Maddie seeing her water spells ability. Unfortunately it kinda is a race against time since Vida got bitten by one of the Villain little creatures and the only way to get a cure is to get a decent amount of the monster’s salvia.

-Dax and Rose get send to the Arctic because of a fake jewel reading one of the faction plan. Now what you do when one of the rangers gets injured in the leg, half of their supplies get stolen , and trackers don’t work. You got two rangers trying to survive the Arctic cold.

-Dillion punches Ziggy’s guts out. No literally, he put Ziggy into life support when mine control, . As a last ditch effort to save him, he hands him to Tenaya, who then turns into a cyborg assistant for Venjix. It’s basically Ziggy trying to help Venjix but failing while Dillion tries to deal with his guilt of giving Ziggy up and having Venjix control him

-Gem and Gemma life growing up. *psssh* they’re kinda scary if you ignore the childlike ness. Liked fucked them up

-Javi recovering from his army injury. I refuse to have only two episodes focusing on this. Put This guy in recovery mode, not to the extent that Leo gets himself into but he can’t be okay after one day. Phantom pains and dealing with wanting to fight again. Perfect

When I was in college, I took an ornithology class. This was up in Virginia, and one of the things my professor had noted was how smaller, non-raptor birds all come together to defend against the Big Damn Birds out there. (Think Spearow and Pidgey vs. Ho-Oh, that sorta thing.) Usually birds calling are doing calls within species as a breeding call and the like, but to defend against these, there are general calls that are put out to denote a dangerous predator. I remember he did it for us, there in the woods, and that because of this, a number of birds started flocking to us. Over a couple minutes of him just whistling between his teeth a "psssh pssh PSSSH pssh," we got maybe ten or eleven birds, different species all mixed together. And after giving us this cool-ass bird call, he warned us never to use it except maybe once or twice a month, and less, if at all possible. It stresses the birds out something fierce, which has this side effect I'd never even thought of. I'm scouring the net for it now, but he had passed out a paper once we got back detailing the effects of stress on shell density. The long and short of all this is, predator calls like this commonly coming out made it so higher amounts of cortisol and other stress hormones were produced, which made it so there was less calcium uptake in the shells. And this is for predators the birds can do something about. Living in an area with super predators that could pounce at any second has GOTTA have some unforeseen effects on bird psychology, because all it takes is one cat to be effective for the environmental fear to be a big thing.

The Hidden Problem of Outdoor Cats: Ecology of Fear

As a huge cat lover who grew up with cats and adores every part of them, outdoor cats are a problem. You’ve probably already heard this, but domestic outdoor cats are responsible for a staggering number of extinctions in local bird populations, even if someone thinks their “sweet little baby would never hunt” because the cat definitely has. But that’s old news, and I’m here to present another (probably already done) theory on why these cats cause problems, and that is a concept called “The ecology of fear.”

Ecology of Fear is a semi-recent concept coined by ecologists that talks about the indirect impact predators have on prey species. Basically, besides directly influencing prey populations by killing prey, there is a broader impact caused by just the presence of a predator that causes defensive changes in behavior. This change usually involves being much more cautious, meaning there’s more energy devoted to being alert and weary and less energy spent on growth and reproduction. There’s also less food consumed because the prey cannot spent large amounts of time in the open. So what does this mean for cats?

It means that even if your cat has less than one brain cell and doesn’t know how to hunt and is scared of grass like mine is, it doesn’t matter. Just the existence of a cat in the area causes local animals to chance their behavior, often with negative impacts for themselves. Birds and other prey species already have to deal with natural local predators, and adding the pressure of cats into the system tips the natural balance too far against the prey.

So please keep your cats indoors, both for their safety and the safety of local animals.

Sincerely,

An aspiring ecologist

(Also: if you’re interested in more details on the ecology of fear, a good documentary to watch is “Nature’s Fear Factor” on PBS. It’s about the reintroduction of wild dogs to Gorongosa Natural Park)

"Zapped to the Extreme" characters post!

I made some PNGs for some of the characters featured in Zapped to the Extreme(which I ask you to READ), so I figured I'd feature them in a post.

1)Sonichu(C-199)

Debut story: Zapped to the Extreme

Age: 17

"Similar to his original C-197 counterpart, this hero got his start when an ordinary Pikachu had a fateful encounter with Super Sonic. Now, he defends the city of Cwcville alongside his sweetheart Rosechu, and the Chaotic Combo!"

Just to be clear, in case a certain EARLIER post was missed, this version of Sonichu is specifically NOT the original, thus why he has the distinction added. Read the post for more details.

Original C-197 version of Sonichu created by Christine Weston Chandler.

Sonichu mod for Sonic Forces created by NyonDX

2)Commander Coldsteel the Hedgeheg

"Psssh…Nothing personnel, kid."

Debut story: Zapped to the Extreme

Age: 20

"Bullied by his peers for his speech ticks, this hardened hedgeheg initally joined the Resistance during the Eggman War, before Infinite managed to convince him to defect and join the Eggman Empire. His first act of loyalty was killing his dimension's Sonic, and other heroes followed soon after. Losing his arm in the final battle against Shadow, he now uses a mechanical arm with a built-in ice blaster in battle, along with his superior combat knowledge to fight what's left of Dimension C-199's heroes."

I have a thing for bad OCs, as you may have noticed. I'm sorry to drag yet another OC into this Resistance/Restoration thing I have going, but with his original version's bio mentioning how he was in the "Sonic Military," I couldn't resist. Perhaps he was this dimension's Rookie, and C-199 is the bad timeline? Idk, I'm still toying around with it a bit. I'd like to give him a focus piece one day. Well, beyond the post made when I first created this version.

Original version created by blood_skull_boi84

3)Project O.G.O.R.K.I.

Debut story: Zapped to the Extreme

Age:???

"Created by Dr. Eggman through a combination of pickle juice and Sonic's DNA, this small menace possesses super speed, and the ability to fire pickle spears from his hands. However, he's constantly dripping in pickle juice, and can only say some variation of "Gorki!" Can Sonichu, Rosechu, and their new friends defeat him?"

Never said I was above a bad recolor, right?

I mainly made this "render" to complete my bad hedgehog OC revamp trio for Zapped to the Extreme. I used the Classic Sonic Improvement mod(which honestly just makes the physics for EVERYBODY worse, tbh)because I felt like it fit O.G.O.R.K.I's attitude the best. He has the top spikes in the story, but I don't have the ability to render those. I left the green in his socks and boot covers because I figured they'd work for stains from when he was soaking in pickle brine. If anybody wants to take the challenge of portraying this version properly in art, go ahead.

Fun fact: I was going to include him in the story before Coldsteel was even considered. Just felt like it was weird that Sonichu had never fought him in any media I could find, especially given the pickle thing. I actually don't like pickles myself, but I'm quite proud of how many pickle puns I was able to make.

Get the Classic Sonic Improvement mod.

BONUS: Blake the Black Sonichu(C-199)

Debut story: Zapped to the Extreme

"Similarly to his C-197 counterpart, this anti-hero got his start when Team Rocket mixed Sonichu's DNA with some other mysterious substance to create a dark counterpart to the original Electric Hedgehog Pokemon."

So I wasn't originally gonna make character portraits for any of the other Sonichu characters, but when I finally saw this pose in Forces, I knew I had to make an edit. I used the Soap Shoes mod to make him more distinct from Sonichu, and I had to add a flipped mouth from another pose because the original pose put it on the wrong side(fucking Forces). Didn't bother cutting him out, though, since this is more for the meme.

Gotta admit, Blake is probably one of the laziest characters Chris Chan ever made, and that's not just because he's basically Shadow. I think the name is the ultimate demonstration of this. "Black Sonichu?" That's just a descriptor! Everyone else gets names like "Wild," or "Bubbles," or even "Magi-Chan," but the evil counterpart to our main hero is named…Black Sonichu? Me personally, I would've named him "Faux-Chu," which not only references Sonic calling Shadow a faker in the English dub, but also his nature as an artificially created lifeform, and as an imitation of Sonichu. Plus, through the English pronunciation of the word, it would sound like "Foe," which again, is what he is to Sonichu.

Though I guess that last one wouldn't have worked for long, since in the comic, Chris just told Blake to get in line, and he's been a good guy ever since(a decision I am not fond of. I love Shadow as a hero, but Blake worked better as a villain, so he remains one in C-199).

And that's it! Use the link to read the story! It's a very quick read, and a lot of fun!

strolling through dsmp fics without intense filtering as a c!wilbur enthusiast be like: 

what interpretation of his character do you want to read today? letssssssssss spin the wheel of character assassination!

we’ve got 5 options today and they are as follows:  

1. one dimensional evil dickbag. a stereotypical ab//sive monster who’s embodies an 80s movies idea of what a “””crazy””” person looks like. made worse than dream on occasion, and often includes incredibly uncomfortable language about mental health. 2. just an asshole. no nuance, definitely no attention to character detail. just a jerk who’s there to be mean and make others look better. 3. a pathetic, often gross, often old guy who no one wants around and is only there because another character feels bad for him. butt of all the jokes of any scene he’s in, annoyance to all the other characters in the story. always made to act like a narcissistic, blind to reality ‘loser’. 4. revived wilbur who’s “redeemed” in the authors eyes, but only after he apologizes about everything he ever did to everyone he ever interacted with because obviously he was the problem in every situation. he will receive no apologies from anyone else, nor any actual help from people, but its a happy ending because people forgive him. 5. older brother™️, whether its au or canon, his main purpose is to protect tommy (and occasionally the other teens) does he have any other personality traits? psssh no way! he doesn’t need them, not when tommy’s the center point or someone else is in danger!

maybe lou has took April (from her opening scene) under her wing somewhere between mentor-y/maternal and she meets the gang for the first time and debbie in an actual relationship setting, not just thru stories lou told?

it kind of avoids the whole actual kidfics that i know some people dont like

“So listen, kid,” the blonde sighed, closing the office door behind her. “I can’t exactly tell you how or why I know these gals, but they’re good people. And you’re practically my kid. I especially know you’ll love Nine and Con—“

“And I finally get to meet the mysterious Debbie Ocean,” April grinned. 

“Of course,” Lou smiled, warming at the thought. “But just—take it for what it is. Don’t go asking for the details, alright?”

“Boss, you legit taught me how to water down vodka and pick pockets. You think I’m gonna question where anyone else gets their cash?”

“Smart girl” Lou winked. “Come on. Gang’s waiting upstairs.”

“Sweet!” Constance whooped the second the door swung open. “Dad finally brought us someone cool!”

The youngest crew member waved at April, trying to longboard towards her as Tammy stopped her by grabbing the back of her t-shirt.

“Hey!” Daphne protested. “I invented cool, Con.”

“You wish,” Nine snorted.

Lou rolled her eyes, shooting April an apologetic look for the behavior of her pseudo children.

“Ignore them,” a voice called down before Debbie appeared at the top of the steps, the blonde turning her focus to her partner as a goofy grin coated her face, her eyes glazing over as she watched Debbie descend, April elbowing her in the gut as she protested.

Lou pulled Debbie in close, kissing her deeply until Debbie swatted at her with a giggle, reminding her they weren’t alone as April half-looked on beaming with pride at Lou.

“Fine,” Lou sighed dramatically as she released the brunette before turning back to April. “Honey, this is April. April this is—“

“Debbie,” the young woman gushed, barreling towards her with a hug as Debbie let out a nervous laugh, patting her back and looking up at the blonde with an awkward, confused expression. “I’ve heard so much about you.”

“You have?” Debbie smirked, squinting her eyes at the blonde over April’s head.

“Alright, kid,” the Australian grinned. “Debs has a low capacity for human touch and I think we’ve reached today’s limit.”

“Sorry,” April squeaked, backing up from Debbie as she backed into Lou, the blonde stopping her with her hands clapping over her shoulders.

“I’ve heard a lot about you too, April,” Debbie smiled warmly. “And I owe you a whole lot of thanks for keeping this one out of trouble while I was gone.”

“I don’t know if I’d say out of trouble,” the girl giggled.

“Psssh,” Lou exhaled. “If you think watering down vodka and pickpocketing is trouble then you don’t even know the half of—“

“Lou!” Debbie gasped.

“I’m joking,” the blonde rolled her eyes.

“Come on,” Amita smiled, giving April a small wave as she appeared between the partners. “We’ve got pizza coming in five. I’ll show you around the loft.”

“My loft,” Lou sighed.

“I’d really love to talk to you later,” April mumbled quietly as she looked up at Debbie. “I mean, if that’s okay?” She squeaked, looking between the blonde and the brunette as Lou gave her a proud nod.

“Anytime,” Debbie promised. “Seriously. And anytime you want to hang out the three of us, or with Lou, or need to talk or just—I don’t know. Anything. Our home is yours.”

“My home, Deb,” Lou rolled her eyes again, but she was grinning ear to ear. “Alright, Mita. Go steal her. Oh, kid?”

“Yeah?”

“Anything’s fair game,” Lou explained. “Just don’t touch that Nutella over by Rose.”

“Nutella?” Rose piped up. “I’m er—I’m afraid this one’s taken, dear, but lovely to meet you.”

In an alternate universe the main 3 masterminds immediately drop the whole killing game idea after getting laid.

(If possible can you make these three separate posts)

Rantaro vists Tsumugi the night before the end of the time limit, V3 suddenly becomes a dating show.

Izuru having dreams (memories) of fucking a certain gamer girl, he brakes out of the room the scientists are holding him, finds Chaiki's rooms and catches her fingering herself while moaning the name Hajime. She catches him staring at her and one thing leads to another Hajime wakes up to a naked Chaiki in his arms.

And Danganronpa doesn't even exist when Mukuro calls Matsuda to gives Junko her prescribed dicking when her despair fetish acts up.

Disclaimer: Below is content that's more on the racy side! If not for you, you probably shouldn't read!

"Ugh, l-laaast time I'm entrusting anything to the those stupid Monokubs..." grumbled Tsumugi before stifling back a moan. Rantaro's firm hands were kneading her doughy, naked bottom like crazy. The survivor could only chuckle as the mastermind voiced her complaints. Both were currently in her room, both stark naked. Rantaro sat at the foot of her bed, whilst Tsumugi saw fit to hop on his lap, snuggling him and getting her luscious breasts pressed up against his own chest.

"Yeaaah, I got my memories back like a day or two ago. But, hey, don't you think what I proposed is way more interesting? You can still get people tuning in without having the set of this go to waste or get people dead. Besides, I'm sure you're just as glad I am to be able to hook up with each other like this, right?~" As his hands went to rub her wet pussy, a flushed Tsumugi glared at him...before pulling him in for a long, drawn, out kiss.

The next morning the time limit and killing game was called off in favor of something else: Danganronpa V3: Orgy Harmony!~ It was such a 'smashing' hit that the show was renewed for five more season!~

-

"H-hajime..."

It's been months since she see her dearest friend, her lover. What happened to him? Even as most would have moved on she couldn't. Thoughts of the boy permeated her mind every day, for every waking or sleeping moment. Even now at her most...intimate time. Laying back on her bed, the gamer whispered out the name of the one she held quite dear as she tried to pleasure herself. One hand vigorously trying to get herself off and the other groping at one of her own melons. Though it just wasn't the same.

But, about halfway through felt some presence nearby her dorm window.

"...Hajime?" The person had long black hair, sharp red eyes and looked about emotionless as a robotic construct...but Chiaki knew. IT had to have been him. Opening her window, she got a closer look and felt tears come into her eyes.

"...You know who I am? You are familiar to me. Before who I became what I am, you were...important?" Izuru said stoicly and stone faced as ever. He was intended to be the Ultimate Hope, someone that was the Ultimate Ultimate. Yet, constantly, his dreams where of this woman. Of being with her, playing with her....fucking her!! Eventually, it didn't take long before he took out his own security detail and escaped to look for her.

Of course, he didn't expect himself to seeing her completely naked and almost in tears like this. He also didn't expect this next part.

"....Hajime!!!!" Grabbing Izuru by the shoulders, Chiaki planted a big, wet kiss, on his lips before dragging him inside of her dorm. The kiss began unlocking memories and feelings withing Izuru's mind that he never felt before. Thus, he soon found himself returning the kiss's passion and baring himself for the gamer.

By the time morning arrived, Izuru Kamukura was no more. Sleeping in Chiaki's bed was the gamer herself and Hajime Hinata - two lovebirds reunited once more.

--

"S-seriously, if you just want the sex, then ask for it!!! Do you know how much of a pain it is to be called away from my research just because you want to be pain!?"

"Psssh, and deprive myself of the potential despair of you possibly neglecting me for your work? No fuckin' waaaaaaaaaaay!~" Junko cackled as she enthusiastically rode on her boyfriend. Yasuke had barely entered the empty classroom of the old school building before the crazy blonde had grabbed him by the tie and pulled him in for a strong kiss.

Nearby was a bomb that Junko had already deactivated and was stuck on minus 10 seconds. Close call, but Junko already knew Yasuke would never refuse to please her and would be more than capable of getting here before the time limit. A fact that explained why she was already buck naked by the time the neurologist arrived.

"Hey, Yasuke, did you get to Junko in t-...oh, hey, you did." Mukuro said to herself as she saw her now getting her fat ass plowed by her boyfriend. Seems like another disaster averted!~ Slowly, Mukuro's cheeks became heated as the sight was burned into her brain. Maybe...Makoto could help her out later?

Some people get a bit more playful when they're in the mood, Junko's tell is becoming destructive and potentially homicidal for despair if she doesn't get some at enough times. Such is the quirk of an Ultimate!~ Thankfully, both Yasuke and Mukuro knew more than enough to keep that side of her at bay.........like 98% of the time. Give or take.

[becameundone]

“Psssh, I'm fiiiiiiine,” said Tomo, blurting out reassurances before the pain had actually been given enough time to appropriately spread its way across his forehead. Which, to be clear, it was doing. Absolutely. But he wasn't about to go and point that out. Come on, let's be serious now. “It's gonna take WAY more than a mirror to knock me off my game.” This logic would ignore, of course, the fact that Tomo can't exactly recall the last time he was genuinely 'on his game' in the most truthful sense. He'd never had everything completely held together, not once in his life, but there was no denying that things had been pretty shaky the last year or so. (The only consolation was that, somehow, he'd been worse. That was the very thing keeping him in this shitty town, the knowledge that he might actually be worse off back in Tokyo...or was that just because last Halloween had reset all the progress he'd made?) He pulled himself off the ground with an erratic, energetic sort of ease, like a cat springing back to its feet after rolling around, and finally turned to face his company.

“Wait, we've already met,” he said, abruptly, pointing a finger right at them. It had been brief, sure, and they were still total strangers but Tomo had always been good at remembering faces. He rarely forgot someone once he ran into them. Whether or not that was a positive was generally up in the air, given his unwillingness to remember other more important things that happened to bore him. “I was the guy going around asking people about the Hat Man,” he offered, like it would help. Like that wasn't a bizarre fucking thing to say. But, in his defence, he figured it was a pretty memorable detail. “Y'know, I never did find him. Uh, should you really be in here if you hate these places?”

The young man's sudden presence startled Annisa and they almost snapped at him but they held back--it wasn't his fault that they were feeling so on edge. Look, Nisa liked Halloween in theory. The idea was a fun one: you dress up, go out to a party, get a little drunk, and have a good time, right? But the idea did very little to help the dancer's raging anxiety--anxiety that had only gotten worse over the past few months, especially with the resurgence of the clone. So needless to say, their heart sort of felt like it had just jumped out of their chest when the stranger burst in through the door.

Ugh, I hate these places. "Yeah, me, too," they said softly. It was a pretty fair question as to what exactly they were doing in the House of Mirrors if they hated them but the simple answer was they had been stupidly distracted when they'd first wandered in here. They hated looking at their reflection, even more so now than before--besides, the way the mirrors were distorted made it even worse. For a second, they thought about bolting right then and there and getting the hell out of there.

Whoever this person was, he was quite the talker--at least, that was until he ran smack into a mirror. "Shit, are you okay?" they asked.

Promise all you say is true - Chapter 2

(Ch 1) (ao3)

Summary: Lloyd wakes up one morning to discover that, on a whim, the Metaverse had decided to release him and Raven from the Lovers archetype they had been locked in for as long as either could remember.

In the process, however, reality became… just a little screwed up.

Now, Raven is gone, and in his place is David Adams. David Adams, who had never left Ashland, working middle-management at Justacorp. David Adams, who had never heard the anvils, never jumped off Warner's Peak.

But Lloyd remembers everything, and he makes it his personal quest to win back the love of his life.

...No matter how many 'strictly professional' coffee dates it took.

Chapter summary: Over carrot cake, the two hash some things out

Y’all… I seriously didn’t expect this scene to happen or get as long as it did but. Here we are. With this chapter, the setup for the fic is officially DONE and we can get into the stuff y’all came here for (aka Lloydven angst). In the meantime, enjoy Lloyd and Han getting in some awkward bonding time!

- 

“Feeling better?”

The man sat opposite her simply sighs. “Yes. Thank you, Han.”

Over a tray of tea, cakes and sweets (for Lloyd, his first meal of the day), the two go over, in painstaking detail, every narrative visited, every jaunt taken through the CU, every significant location in Raven’s life. As minutes, and then an hour ticks by, marked by the comings and goings of those around them (and the increasingly resigned expressions of the waitstaff as they drag out their meal as long as possible), they scrawl out possible places the missing Postie could be on a steadily depleting supply of napkins, provided generously by the small bakery in New Camden, a joint quickly becoming synonymous with Serious Talk Time.

When it comes to names and places, Han can’t be of much help, but that is to be expected, her having only known the man a scant year. Instead, she simply offers the obvious, locations Raven and Lloyd had spoken of the most around her; the first and second Playhouse, New Albion, even entertaining the idea that he was here, in this narrative.

“Impossible,” Lloyd insists for the second time, though Han notes that he’s sounding significantly less certain than before.

“How are you so sure?” Before Lloyd can respond, she quickly adds, “Waitwaitwait don’t tell me. The both of you have… a psychic link. From your weird wizard powers. Or something.”

“I remind you that you too have, as you so eloquently put it, weird wizard powers.” He replies, one hand spearing a forkful of carrot cake, the other forming air quotes. “But that aside, you’re not completely wrong.”

Han raises an eyebrow. “Huh. I was going out on a limb there. You two are seriously linked together?”

“That’s actually the other thing I have to talk through,” he says. “Have Ravey and I told you about the Lovers archetype yet?”

“Give me a second.” Han takes a long sip from her cup of Earl Grey, mentally sorting through everything her mentors-slash-great-grandparents had taught her about Posthumans and the Metaverse. “It’s… the thing where you and him are basically bound together, right? I thought that was metaphorical.”

Shaking his head, Lloyd says, “It’s very much not. After spending enough time in each others’ company -and back then, we had nothing but time to spare- we began embodying the Lovers archetype.

I shan’t bore you with the details, but you have the broad strokes of it. Essentially, we became irreversibly bound. As trite as it sounds, we had a sixth sense, of sorts, around the other. When we were apart, I would feel his absence like… a missing limb, so we always knew when the other was close by.”

Only half-listening to his explanation, Han lets Lloyd ramble. God knows he needed it. He was one of those people who absolutely had to talk through their problems, a tendency that annoyed her on any given day, except this one. Extenuating circumstances and all.

Huh. Deja vu.

Her mind wanders to the first time she had been here, it was just her and Raven back then, him having invited her out after the Singularity left New Albion. It really was a memory, a story for another time, but it had been surprisingly nice, even if her eyes were still red and puffy in a way that makeup just couldn’t conceal.

They had shared a slice of (what else) carrot cake, speaking of narratives and what she had learned of the art of finesse, and then, as they talked more, coping mechanisms, sacrifice, loss, and a rambling (but utterly sincere) apology from Raven.

It had ended with a hug, and granted, it was kind of awkward, Raven having to get up from the corner chair he was squeezed in to give her a half-embrace, as close as he could get to her side of the table (the bakery was as renowned for its carrot cake as it was infamous for its tight quarters). But Han still remembers the feeling of his arms around her shoulders, warm and almost reassuring.

And now he’s gone. Gone along with the rapport they were just starting to build after their disastrous first encounter. Just when she was finally beginning to see him as family.

The only questions on her mind are how and why.

She tunes back in as Lloyd finishes his explanation. “So you’re saying that because you’re locked into this archetype, if he was here, you’d know.”

What? She could multi-task just as good as anyone else!

Lloyd sighs tiredly. “Yes, but there’s the rub. I don’t think that him and I form the archetype any more.”

Well this raises more questions than answers. Still, Han pats his arm. “Drink your tea. You’ve been talking for way too long as is.”

She waves off Lloyd’s apologies over his loquaciousness, sweeping a hand as if swatting an imaginary fly, then realising this was a gesture she had ended up incorporating into her movements after seeing it time and time again from Raven.

Dammit. Even when absent he finds a way to worm into her head. The guy was just infectious like that. Is. Is infectious. She refuses to believe that he’s truly gone. Speaking of…

“If what you’re saying is true, I guess that answers the ‘why’ aspect of things, He’s gone because the Metaverse decided to release you from your archetype.”

Over the rim of his teacup, Lloyd’s mouth quirks into a half-smile, the first Han had seen from him all day. “You always find a way to make things sound so simple.”

“It’s why you keep me around,” Han jokes, feeling a responding grin spread across her face.

“Don’t put yourself down like that,” Lloyd says, leaning forward with sudden seriousness. “You do have a good head about you, and I… admire the speed at which you’re picking up your Posthuman abilities. You successfully mastered in a matter of months what took me decades to learn, and-”

Han can’t help the rush of pride that comes at his words. Lloyd was always the more critical of her two mentors, and nigh impossible to please (she was still rather sore over his snide comment over the tunnels). She almost misses what he says next, but catches it just in time.

“-and you’re a perfectly charming person. I had my doubts before, but it’s clear that you’re Isabel’s kin. You remind me a lot of her, you know.”

Han softens. “I had a great teacher. Two great teachers, as a matter of fact.”

He winces at the mention of his missing boyfriend, and she impulsively reaches a hand across the table to grasp his. “We’ll find the other one together, okay?”

Lloyd grips her hand, giving a tight nod, steely resolve in his eyes.

“Okay.”

- 

They exit the bakery as afternoon fades into evening, the gas lamps that line the pavements igniting one by one, illuminating the streets of New Camden.

“Just to go over the plan one more time,” Han says, “I’ll stay here and try to scout him out. If he isn’t here, I’ll try New Albion. Then, where the First Playhouse used to be.”

Lloyd hums in affirmation. “I’ll keep you updated on my whereabouts as well. If you find him, let me know.”

“Of course, and you do the same.”

“I will. Keep safe.”

“You too.”

They stand there, then, regarding each other in the lamplight. Finally, Lloyd reaches out a hand, as if to administer a firm handshake.

Nah, fuck that.

Han bypasses the hand, and wraps Lloyd in a tight hug. After a moment, she feels his arms wrap around her too.

“It’s going to be okay,” Han says once they break apart, gripping him by the shoulders.

“I… can’t thank you enough for your help, Han. I’ll make it up to you if- once he’s found.”

“Psssh, that’s not necessary,” she retorts with a smirk, already walking in the opposite direction. “Your acknowledgement that I’m more talented than you is more than enough payment.”

Lloyd bristles. “I was being nice. Don’t push it.”

“You said it! It’s been set in stone! I’m gonna tell everyone I know about this!” She calls over her shoulder, disappearing into an alleyway.

Determined not to let her have the last word, Lloyd yells, "Only if you admit to everyone that I'm a great teacher!”

"Never! Also, screw you!"

Shaking his head and chuckling, Lloyd begins making preparations of his own, mentally steeling himself to make the narrative jump, and going down the mental list of places he was going to search.

The hunt would begin in the Collective Unconscious. Then, the different narratives the lovers (now lowercase) had frequented. Finally, once all other options had been exhausted, he would return to Ravey’s home narrative. The one place the two had never been to, at the insistence of his missing half.

Ashland.

[lalaliasam]

Lisa was sure that her staff and members were exhausted from hearing her many stories about Jaebum. The stories, the face calls, ranting on about how much she missed him. That still hadn’t stopped her from continuing. If they had a problem with it, then she didn’t care enough to stop. It was the only way she stayed sane and didn’t give into the temptation of running to visit him at the base which is something that she considered enough times that she lost count. If it wasn’t for Coachella being so close then she would have made the argument about tagging along with him to see how his life was in the military.

Trips had always excited her. Sightseeing and shopping were always at the top of her list when going anywhere new but she also wanted to soak in every moment with Jaebum seeing that they would fall back into their chaotic and full schedules once they returned home. All she had planned for today was catch up with old friends then return to the hotel room. That was until she decided to get tipsy which led to indulging into the happy hour.

The rapper was already a touchy person when it came to the ones she was closest to. Add alcohol in the mix, and well…. she turned into someone like this. A girlfriend who was freely grabbing at Jaebum’s face and going on about how good looking he was. Anyone could clearly see that he was but she was going into detail how perfectly shaped his jaw was by tracing her finger against his skin to his lips. “Psssh, they can try but they can’t get your muscles” It was a good thing that Lisa had been fiends with guys long enough that they can joke about this once she was fully recovered. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck as he walked “You’re perfect, I really hope you know that” She nuzzled her face into his neck and closed her eyes mostly to stop her vision from spinning but also to take in his scent.

Rath and Luna - Part 1

Pride month - Day 9.

So for the longest time I’ve been talking about Luna and Rath’s relationship, but never really got to the details, because things only start kicking in at the end of year 5 and most of it is in year 6, which I am not in yet. (and probably never will be, because of a certain incident that made me quit the game,) Also, in my headcanon, year 5 is when season 2 of the Quidditch plot is happening and it’s not over yet, so I don’t have all the details...

Anyway, there are a lot of missing puzzle pieces for me, so I wanted to wait.

But since it doesn’t look like I’ll go back playing this game any time soon, I’ve decided to just write whatever I want and screw JC’s canon.

Enjoy!

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

Year 4

*Rath gave Luna a dirty look and left*

Luna: Did you see that?

Penny: *worried* Yeah, she’s really-

Luna: Into me! God, so embarrassing.

Penny: What?

Luna: I mean, I’m flattered, but girl, control your hormones.

Penny: …

Penny: Sweetie, I think you might be the one that needs to control her hormones.

Luna: Are you kidding me? She just stared at me for like a minute straight.

Penny: Oh, right, I forgot that’s how you flirt. When normal people do it, it’s usually a bad sign.

Luna: I don’t think she even blinked.

Penny: I’ve already lost you, haven’t I?

Luna: I mean, again, I’m flattered-

Penny: Yep, you’re gone.

--

*Rowan and Luna in the library*

Rowan: Luna, are you listening to me?

Luna: Wha-? Huh? Of course I am. How can you even ask that?

Rowan: I just said the words ‘pop quiz’ and you weren’t even excited about it.

Luna: Oh, no, mate. I’m totally up for it! Yay!

Rowan: Where did your mind go? You’re not the type to zone-out, especially not while studying.

Luna: You’re right, sorry, It’s just… Do you remember Rath?

Rowan: That awful monstrous girl that keeps threatening you?

Luna: Exactly!

Rowan: What about her?

Luna: Well, call it a hunch-

Rowan: Oh, no.

Luna: But I think she’s into me.

Rowan: Yep, this is happening. You are officially too thirsty for this school.

Luna: Oh, come on. I have proof.

Rowan: Oh, you do, do you?

Luna: She keeps staring at me.

Rowan: And physically assaulting you.

Luna: It’s banter!

Rowan: Luna, you cracked your ulna!

Luna: Psssh, bones are meant to be broken.

Rowan: Is that another quote?

Luna: …

Luna: No.

Rowan: Good, because it’s awful.

Luna: She’s into me!

Rowan: No, she’s not. Also, stop falling for straight girls!

Luna: What? She’s totally gay.

Rowan: She’s not. Trust me, I have a very good gaydar-

Luna: You have the worst gaydar! You thought Andre was straight.

Rowan: He likes sports! That’s on him, really.

Luna: Oh, please.

Rowan: Fine, whatever. But your gaydar is broken as well, especially when you like someone or should I remind you of the incident with Penny?

Luna: What?! That’s ridiculous and I’m appalled that you even-! Okay, I see your point, but this time it’s different.

Rowan: I just don’t want to see you getting hurt.

Luna: I mean, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. There are plenty of other people who’d love to be in her place.

Rowan: …

Rowan: Forget what I just said, you’re a complete douche and you deserve all the misery you get.

Luna: Thanks for the support, buddy.

Rowan: Now can we please quiz each other?

Luna: Yes! Let’s do it, boy!

Rowan: Thank you! Was that so hard?

--

Rath: Get out of my way, Silver. *She shoved Luna*

Penny: Rude.

Luna: God, I can’t stand these endless flirting, it’s exhausting.

Penny: Did you hit your head the last time she pushed you?

Luna: Probably.

Penny: Thought so.

--

Year 5

Luna: Hey, Andre?

Andre: Hey, how’s it going-?

Luna: Have you talked to Rath yet?

Andre: Whoops, gotta go.

Luna: You can’t hide from me forever, Egwu!

Andre: Get help!

Luna: Talk to her!

--

*Luna stayed in the changing room after everyone’s already left*

Luna: Where the hell did I put my-

Rath: Silver.

Luna: *jumps and turns immediately* Um, hi?

Rath: …

Luna: *hides behind the lockers* This is a changing room, you know?

Rath: …

Luna: Just, can you turn around for a second?

*Rath rolled her eyes and then turned around*

*Luna quickly finished changing*

Luna: So what can I do for you, love?

Rath: *turning back* Don’t call me that.

Luna: Fine. What do you want?

Rath: You’re talking about me.

Luna: …

Rath: …

Luna: Want to be a bit more specific, love?

Rath: I told you not to call me that.

Luna: I’m really enjoying this conversation, Rath, but I have other things to do. So unless you’re here to confess your love for me-

Rath: Here. You did it again.

Luna: Did what?

Rath: Talked about me.

Luna: I’m talking to you, love-

Rath: Stop calling me that!

Luna: Okay, sorry. It slips.

Rath: And stop talking about me.

Luna: Alright, but if we’re making demands, how about you stop “bumping” into me whenever you walk past me?

Rath: …

Rath: Then move out of the way.

Luna: *gets in her face* Do you like it? Because that’s what you’ve been doing to me for the last year and a half.

Rath: *moves her head*

Luna: What? Why don’t you just move out of my way? So what if I’m invading your personal space. That was your logic, right?

Rath: …

Rath: Can you move?

Luna: What’s the magic word?

Rath: …

Luna: *moves away* Forget it. Look, I won’t talk about you anymore, but if you keep acting like an arse, I will retaliate.

Rath: …

Rath: Watch you back.

Luna: Or what? You’ll climb over it so I could give you a piggy-back ride?

*This time, Rath got in her face*

Luna: Told you you’re doing that.

Rath: You don’t want to mess with me.

Luna: Are you sure? Because I’m totally down for messing around, if you want to.

Rath: Just keep your mouth shut next time.

Luna: How should I put it? I’m not afraid of you, love. Come at me with everything you’ve got.

Rath: …

Rath: We’ll settle it on the next match.

Luna: Okay, whatever.

*Rath left without saying another word*

Luna: Such a tease.

--

Rowan: She threatened you?!

*Luna and Skye turned around*

Luna: Dammit, where did you come from?

Rowan: This is the common room, you know.

Skye: Listen to your pal, Luna. Rath is bad news.

Luna: Like you’re the one to talk, you big gossip.

Skye: I’m just saying, expect a bludger to break your ribs in the near future, hot-shot.

Luna: For the last time, it was an accident!

Skye: Why, because she said so?

Luna: Yes!

Rowan: Can we go back to the part where she threatened you!

Luna: She’s harmless, relax.

Rowan: Harmless?! She’s a brute!

Skye: Glasses is right.

Rowan: I have a name-

Skye: Yeah, whatever. I’m going to practice some more. Keep your eyes open, she’ll be after you.

Luna: Why do I even bother talking to you?

Skye: *shrugs* Later, mate.

*Skye left*

Rowan: …

Luna: Have you heard that Papa finally-

Rowan: Don’t change the subject!

Luna: Oh my god.

Rowan: I want to know exactly what happened!

Luna: *sighs* It was nothing. She was crossed with me for telling everyone that she’s into me and tried to scare me off. It didn’t work, so stop panicking.

Rowan: I don’t like it.

Luna: She is harmless. Don’t listen to Skye, she’s taking their rivalry way too seriously.

Rowan: Maybe you should too.

Luna: Rath is not good with words, Andre told me himself. She’s a lot nicer than she’s letting people know.

Rowan: Just promise me you’ll be careful.

Luna: Stop being dramatic.

Rowan: …

Luna: Fine, I promise.

--

*Luna sat with some friends in the courtyard*

Rath: Silver.

*Rowan, Penny and Jimmy gave her a dirty look. Luna smirked*

Luna: Rath.

Rath: …

Luna: Guys, I’ll be right back.

*She and Rath went to the side*

Luna: How can I help, love?

Rath: *annoyed* I’m a good Beater.

Luna: Yes, you are. Is that what you wanted to tell me?

Rath: Let me finish.

Luna: *chuckles* But then I wouldn’t be able to get under your skin.

Rath: …

Rath: I’m a good Beater. I don’t need to threaten you. I can just crush you in the upcoming game.

*Luna crossed her arms in amusement*

Rath: Let’s keep it professional.

Luna: Aw, so the mud-fight if off?

Rath: …

Rath: That’s all I wanted to say.

*She turned to leave but Luna stopped her*

Luna: Wait, wait. I get it. I’m sorry. I accept your apology.

Rath: I don’t apologize.

Luna: Of course, but I accept it anyway.

*Rath gave her a nasty look and left*

Luna: Aw, yeah. It’s all coming together.

BnHA Vigilantes Chapters 59 - 65: Emergency Catch-Up Blog

before I start, please be advised that the following post will contain a potential MAJOR SPOILER FOR CHAPTER 253, which has not yet been released! please don’t be an idiot like me and spoil yourselves, guys. stay safe.

but anyways yes, this is my recap post for Those Chapters of Vigilantes. at long last. hooray! by the way this is barely edited at all, on account of it being a rush job (see re: the “Emergency” bit in the header). just some raw, unfiltered, [CENSORED SPOILER THING] thoughts and feelings! hopefully it’s readable; when I have more time I’ll try and clean it up a bit more.

so now, first off, credit where credit is due because omg

bless you anon, you saved my life

but let me backtrack! looool so guys, I did a dumb thing and peeked at a spoiler, and read the name “Shirakumo”, and was like FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK and noped out, but it was too late lol. so then I was like “HOW DO I CATCH UP ON THE ENTIRETY OF VIGILANTES IN LESS THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS”, fully aware that I probably wasn’t going to do shit and would most likely just spend tomorrow apologizing and shrugging my way through the new chapter. and by the way guys, I’ll go ahead and throw in one of those apologies now, because I’ve had at least a dozen anons implore me to pick up Vigilantes, and I’m fully aware that Aizawa’s past has been covered (including one (1) cloudy boi), and that it’s really good. I just haven’t had the energy to do it! because reading and liveblogging are two very different things, and the latter just takes so much more time and energy honestly. so I kept putting it off and off and off, and now here I am

but then this ask came along telling me exactly which chapters to read in order to get the context I need! so seriously anon, you are the MVP of my week, and I appreciate this so, so much. I am now off to read those chapters, and I apologize to everyone again, but while I will liveblog them, it’ll probably be kind of a rush job due to the circumstances. like I won’t get into every single detail here, because it’s six whole chapters. but I’ll do my best

hmm I don’t know what constitutes the second half of chapter 59 lol so here I am reading the whole damn thing

AIZAWA BEING FRIENDS WITH MIDNIGHT, AND MIDNIGHT HAS A CAT OH GOSH

looool

personally, Aizawa hated school. he would never ever dream of becoming a teacher. how ridiculous. irrational af

“we’ll have you teaching at U.A. soon enough” psssh. not this man, sister

he’s hanging up on her now. honestly I am glad I did not skip the first part of this chapter lol

some wolfman is chasing the protag of this series whose name I forgot, as well as a little girl and ANOTHER CAT. this series has so many cats?! apparently!?

Aizawa is saving the cat. the hero we deserve

the protag whose name I am about to look up wants to adopt the cat, which prompts Aizawa to launch into a 2500-word essay on why he should not adopt the cat

okay the kid’s name is Koichi. he’s apparently 19 in the series, but I don’t know how old he is in this particular scene though because I have the vague impression that the series at large takes place in present-day BnHA time, which would mean this is definitely a flashback. so. ??

OHO, NOW IT’S A FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK!!? so this is the Aizawa past thing everyone’s been all “!!!!” about. well here you go guys

young Shouta is staring at an abandoned kitty in a box in the rain

he left the cat, but also left his umbrella over it, awww

and he arrived at class all wet. and his teacher says he can go change his clothes, but he’s all “NAH I’M EMO SO I’LL JUST STAY LIKE THIS”, wow

“I’m powerless” jesus christ Shou get a grip

here comes Present Mic to forcibly lift his best bud’s spirits. they’re in second year apparently

Present Mic, and I mean this in the most loving and affectionate way possible, is the most annoying man on the planet

how was he not just constantly punched in the face at all times. like constantly walking around being punched by people

well well well

something horrible is sure going to happen to you, isn’t it? here I thought you were probably dead, but I’m kinda getting the inkling [SPOILERS, FOLKS, I’M SERIOUS] you’re gonna maybe show up in the latest chapter of the main series, so I guess not! congratulations I guess?? OR MAYBE NOT

“dammit Shirakumo” oh so it’s like that

their teacher deserves a raise. never thought we’d see another U.A. faculty member more done with life than Aizawa himself

hey Shirakumo is giving Shouta his umbrella back, but what about the cat?! SHIRAKUMO ARE YOU REALLY A NICE GUY, I’M NOT SURE YET

meanwhile he’s stripping naked in the middle of class. oh yes. I forgot Vigilantes was like this

he’s using his cloud quirk to censor himself where it counts

“and inside this cloud... is this charming little creature” lol we think he’s talking about his penis but then he pulls out the cat! WELL NEVER MIND THEN SHIRAKUMO

so Shouta is sitting around thinking emo thoughts that are gradually giving way to some decidedly un-hetero thoughts about Shirakumo, who’s doing that shounen thing where he smiles with his eyes closed while being silhouetted against the bright sun. maaaaan. Aizawa you are hella gay my dude

okay next chapter and they’re being assigned internships

Shirakumo’s hero costume is... well let’s just say it’s a good thing he’s got such a badass quirk

he’s riding around on that cloud like Goku. like a fucking Lakitu from Super Mario

now the teachers are talking about the three boys and whether they’ll be able to land internships

“Yamada shouldn’t have a problem. his voice quirk has applications in battle, rescue, and entertainment. but the boy’s a bit distractible.” okay first of all how the hell would Mic ever rescue a person with his quirk. fucking scream them to safety or what. and second, by distractible you mean punchable right. again, all the love

oh my god he’s so cute

lmao this is seriously my favorite picture of Aizawa ever. GO GETTEM SLUGGER

so Shouta is getting bullied by some guy with a decidedly Katsuki-ish quirk, except he shoots jets of fire out of his hands. but anyway he says that fighting Shouta is boring. SHUT UP, YOU. YOU’RE BORING

Shouta is so emo. but he really does want to be a good hero, he just doesn’t know how. he seems very frustrated

he’s lecturing Kumo on not giving people-food to the cat. and now he has picked up the cat and is cradling and bottle-feeding it like an infant. bless

this manga really has a gag panel of the cat pissing on Shirakumo afterwards, like. see this is another reason why I haven’t exactly been in a rush to read it sob. my sense of humor doesn’t really seem to align with Furuhashi’s

oH MY GOD

high school Midnight is the coolest person I have ever seen and I want to be just like her when I grow up

aaaaand she is literally not wearing any clothes except that belt and those boob-holsters. which, I mean, it’s not like she really dresses any differently in the main series, but this being Vigilantes, I’m sure we’ll get another half a dozen pages showing extreme close-ups of her costume from various angles. again, another area where this series and I don’t quite see eye to eye, but it’s all right since we’re just passing through here

and one year later they wrote a literal law limiting how much exposed skin a hero costume can show. oh Midnight. meanwhile I forgot how much this series makes me appreciate Horikoshi, flaws and all. I’ll take a thousand Minetas over this shit honestly. at least Mineta always gets his comeuppance. but anyway

they have named the cat “Sushi”

Midnight is straight up taking the cat lmao

Yamada got an internship. one down, two to go

Midnight’s back and showing them a video of the cat pooping. one joke about the cat’s bathroom habits in a single chapter was not enough, we’re going for two. not like we have anything more important to cover, like Aizawa getting an internship and something terrible and tragic happening to his boyfriend. let’s just keep talking about cat poop

okay here we go, Midnight says her boss will take them as interns

“Loud Cloud” lmao. home run hero name. GOAT

so Shouta’s chasing a villain and nearly got crushed by a safe that he threw at him, but he’s being saved by some guy who I’m guessing is his boss

oh my

this is the kind of weirdness that only a manga can get away with. I wonder how this idea came into being and whose idea it was, Horikoshi’s or Furuhashi’s. maybe the two of them hitting each other up back and forth in a text chain. “so I’m doing Aizawa’s flashback now, who do you want to have him to intern under?” “hmm I don’t know but I was thinking literally Prince”

Prince is chewing Shouta out something fierce

I thought I was prepared for these Aizawa flashbacks, but some things you can never be prepared for

lol he asked Shouta how he fucked up, and Shouta started listing all of his tactical errors, and Prince interrupted him and is all “I’M TALKIN’ ‘BOUT THAT GLOOMY FACE” listen son just who do you think your intern is. THAT’S JUST HIS FACE LEAVE HIM ALONE

he says Aizawa wears his stress all over his sleeve and bums people out

he’s telling him to smile! now where have we heard that philosophy before

hello

I’m just reblogging this panel because of reasons

so Shouta is sulking in the locker room, and Shirakumo is showering off and says his MO is to keep smiling even when he screws up

now Midnight is texting Shouta 500 cat pictures

lmao we can’t see Shouta’s face, but Kumo is streaking in and is all “THERE’S THAT SMILE, SUNSHINE!!!!”

OH SHIT NOW IT’S A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE VILLAIN IS BACK BUT THIS TIME SHOUTA DONE GOT HIM SOME GOGGLES!! the path from adorable to sexy begins. the Longbottoming

oh shit the goggles belong to Shirakumo. the gayening. and they were roommates

Shouta’s using his quirk!

and the bad guy is all “I don’t need my quirk to crush you” and straight up demolishing the fucking pavement yikes

and Kumo is leaping at him from above and whomping him on the head

yay they caught him. and Shouta is...

he’s trying. they’ll coax a real smile out of him yet! just show him a Youtube compilation of Logical Ruses

now he and Shirakumo have matching pairs of goggles. I’m just gonna assume this means they are married

the fire hands bully guy from earlier is coming over to start some shit again

he says he also realized the importance of eye protection through his internship. and Mic says he stole the idea from him

now the class is partnering off for two-on-two battle training, and Kumo is partnering with Shouta

they’re going up against Mic and Fire Hands, and for some reason they’re making a wager of it. whoever loses has to stop wearing glasses. this is easily the stupidest thing I have seen in this series yet, not to mention the most accurate

Kumo’s grinning at Shouta and saying the goggles symbolize their friendship and they have to defend them. you know, lovable scamp stuff

now Shirakumo and Shouta are double teaming the Fire Hands guy and taking him out in seconds because OF COURSE THEY DID. lol he never fucking stood a chance

but Shouta’s handing the glasses back and says that two-on-one isn’t fair so he’s calling the wager off

aaaand Fire Hands is snatching them back and stomping on them. and says he doesn’t need them

listen you dingus, yes you do fucking need them. and also he says he didn’t lose! wow this guy really has his head up his ass. I’d say he reminds me of a CERTAIN SOMEONE, but you know what, I’ll give Mr. Certain Someone his fair credit though, because he managed to get his shit together long before his second year. Fire Hands still needs to grow up

the teacher is telling him he missed the point of the exercise, and FH is literally ignoring him and running off wow

apparently Mic also gave up his sunglasses and got himself a pair of goggles. well we know that’s not gonna last. and for that matter, Shouta’s gonna change out his goggles for a different model as well. ohhhhh some tragedy is on the horizon I just know it, this is gonna hurt

Shirakumo says the three of them should start their own agency. ahhh. buddy I’m here reading this from the future, and I gotta tell you, son... shit’s awkward as fuck

and he’s pointing out all the different ways they complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses

Shouta says he can’t do anything on his own, but Kumo says that just means he’s suited to teamwork

Kumo’s inviting Midnight to join them, but she’s declining lol

Shouta’s looking at the sky all dramatically. oh baby this is it isn’t it. things are about to get rough

“one week later”

NOO THEY HURT MY PRECIOUS PRINCE

SOMEONE IS CALLING FOR BACKUP AND THE CAMERA IS ZOOMING IN ON A BUSTED UP PAIR OF GOGGLES, FUCK EVERYTHING

now we’re cutting to Mic and Fire Hands and FH replaced his sunglasses with a pair of goggles. goggles are just the in thing now

Fire Hands talks about Aizawa so much I’m starting to ship the two of them now as well. damn Shouta how many high school boyfriends did you have??

so they’re fighting off some toad monster and it’s absorbing all their attacks

meanwhile Shouta and Kumo are literally helping kindergartners to cross the street

look at this

it’s beyond my comprehension how anyone could possibly mistake this man for anything but a future teacher

even Kumo is commenting on how natural he is at working with kids

oH MY GOD the kids waved goodbye and said “bye Eraserhead” and it prompted a little smile

Kumo says Shouta psychs himself out and convinces himself he can’t do stuff, but really he can do just about anything if he puts his mind to it. aww. and he’s right!!

oh shit here comes the toad

so this toad’s name is Garvey, and he’s literally wanted for murder oh shit. and he has a Fatgum-like quirk that can absorb attacks and store them up to release them

and some idiots hit him with a combined attack that ended up powering him the fuck up. well shit

so Prince is placing a rose in between his teeth and getting ready to fight this toad off. do it I believe in you

now a lot is happening all at once, jesus. Shouta and Kumo were trying to evacuate the kids but then the toad just appeared right there like wtf, and then Prince also showed up out of nowhere and went to hit the thing with a flying jump kick

aaaand he’s getting blasted into a building

oof. and getting even further blasted now. welp

Kumo’s protecting the kiddos with his Nimbus quirk!

OH FUCKING SHIT AND THEN HE GOT CRACKED IN THE HEAD BY A GIANT FALLING ROCK

um

is this bitch fucking dead now. I can’t believe they fucking Obitoed my bro Shirakumo

so now the toad is looming over them, and Shouta realizes he’s the only one left standing, and all his doubts are filtering into his mind as he desperately tries to think of how to stop him

and Shirakumo’s... gourd... thing... is klunking in out of nowhere, and it has a little speaker on it, and it’s all “YOU GOT THIS AIZAWA” and wtf. this is like something out of a weird fever dream

OH SHIT BOYS AIZAWA SHOUTA DONE GOT HIS GAME FACE ON NOW

THE LONGBOTTOMING CONTINUES

so now he’s leaping fifty feet into the air, somehow, and thinking that his Erasure quirk will at least level the playing field. well all right then! you go boy

now it’s raining and of course bolts of lightning are dramatically hitting the ground all around them

Shouta’s kicking off the lil power toad lumps one by one lol

literally just jumping all around and kickin’ stuff

oof he took a bad hit. but he’s sitting back up!

Kumo’s disembodied gourd voice keeps shouting encouragement at him though, idk. so there’s that

he says Shouta’s strong and he won’t lose, and Shouta is all “RAHHHHHHH.” you guys, if 1-A ever found out about this flashback they would never let the man live it down. hell I’m not gonna let him live it down. okay then. Mr. RAHHHHHH

he’s doing some weird stuff with his capture weapon now. I think maybe he grabbed a rock with it and chucked it at the guy

and now the guy is shooting all his toad lumps at Shouta all at once! WELL ALL RIGHT THEN

yooooo Shouta literally grabbed them all with the capture weapon and he’s CHUCKIN’ EM ALL INTO THE DUDE’S MOUTH Y’ALL THIS IS SOME REAL FUCKING SHIT LMAO GET WRECKED

so the guy is blowing up from the inside out. yeah that’s what you get for murdering Shouta’s childhood friend you piece of shit

and Shouta’s collapsing in exhaustion but happily shouting “SHIRAKUMO I DID IT” before he passes out. oh my god don’t tell me Kumo is already dead and Shouta just hallucinated his voice or some shit. THEN WHO WAS GOURD omg

oooooof here we go

[places both hands on Shouta’s shoulders and looks him dead in the eye] son I don’t know how to tell you this, but Shirakumo has been dead for twenty years

wow can someone just fucking tell Shouta already so he stops depressing everyone and making an idiot out of himself. geez how long are you all gonna stand around despondently shooting knowing looks at each other in the rain

so they’re picking up the gourd speaker thing and OF COURSE it’s visibly broken and there’s no possible way Kumo’s voice could have been coming out of it. especially since he has been dead for twenty years. here’s a picture of his grave. oh shit what’s that little grave right next to his?? OH MY GOD IT’S THE CAT. OH MY GOD

oh fuck me

Y’ALL REALLY DID THESE BABIES LIKE THAT. HORIKOSHI!! FURUHASHI!! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW I WANT A WORD!!

so now Fire Hands, who is trying his best to be comforting but is just SO BAD AT IT, is all “Aizawa you went toe to toe with this thing and beat it YOURSELF!! ALL ALONE!!!” jesus christ I need a minute

OH DAMN A CALLBACK TO THE RAIN “THIS KINDA FITS OUR VIBE RIGHT NOW” LINE but now it’s saaaaaaaad oh no

I mean. I knew going in that this was going to be Aizawa’s sad childhood flashback about his friend Shirakumo whom something very terrible happened to. it’s not like I’m even surprised. I knew what I was getting myself into here. but damn that still hurts

do you guys think that having a permanent image of his best friend forever immortalized as a cheerful seventeen-year-old, and being forever haunted by the memory of that seventeen-year-old being cut down in the prime of his life, might have given Aizawa Shouta lasting trauma which carried over into his adulthood and makes him do desperately reckless things when children are at risk, such as leaping into battle against an army of villains all alone. dammit now I want to grab every single problem child of 1-A and shake them roughly and scream at them for all the sleepless nights they have doubtless caused this man

so now here he and Mic are both being sad

aww Mic. I’m sorry I keep wanting to punch you in the face. it’s just reflex

and now it’s one year later and the class is gearing up for the sports festival

well look who is almost fully done with his metamorphosis

you will soon be a beautiful butterfly

he is literally going to sleep in the middle of class. well depression makes people tired. sigh

he’s got his familiar goggles now! and he’s kicking FH’s ass and lecturing him on how to fight better. damn his character development is complete

and he’s helping FH to his feet aww. definitely boyfriends. this man gets around

his teachers now say that Shouta has gotten too complacent, if anything, and phones everything in once he knows he’s got a passing grade, and only gets passionate when it comes to practical exercises

and now we’re cutting to the gym and Shouta is indeed training passionately while Mic sits in the corner looking bummed. all these kids have been through far too much in their young lives

Shouta’s handing in his career aspiration form, and he wrote that he wants to start his own agency and focus on “fighting, and nothing else”

his scruffy facial hair is already starting to come in now. it’s true what they say, having a tragic past does indeed make you hotter

anyways but can we get this boy a hug!? anybody?? hello??!?

now they’re graduating and Shouta is disappearing in a poof of smoke and now there’s this big panel with flashbacks to his career up to the current point in Vigilantes!

and we’re back in the ~present~ and he’s telling Koichi to take good care of that cat. aaaand, I guess that’s that. geez. that was a lot

so there you go! the Aizawa flashbacks! they were very sad! all in all I really enjoyed them! so now, if Shirakumo isn’t actually dead (seeing as it’s a shounen manga that pays homage to comic books, so safe to say that People Not Actually Being Dead is a Certified Phenomenon, like it’s definitely a THING THAT CAN SOMETIMES HAPPEN), well then. tomorrow’s chapter is sure going to be interesting to say the least. lulz but maybe I’ve got it all wrong though. guess I’ll find out!
