LOSER
GOJO さとる
"Rejecting" the smug and overly confident Gojo Satoru — who has so many admirers and yet is madly and obsessively head over heels in love with you.

You call him attractive in a roundabout way, because the conversation was on the topic of who is most goodlooking in this school.
Though he replies smugly, inside he freaks out — he was worried you would think Suguru is more attractive than him.
"Of course you're attracted to me; I'm Gojo Satoru after all!"
"Okay." you gave him a confused smile and went on your way.
But before you could leave, he blocked your path by hopping in front of you. He cleared his throat.
"Um! Wait! S-so — uh — what are you doing later today?" he experienced a small voice crack.
He seemed nervous, frantic, like he felt sudden shame for using his smug charm on you and seeing it fail to catch you.
"Ah, I don't have any plans for the rest of the day. Why?" you reply, friendly and nonchalant.
He stuttered, froze, and reanimated himself as if he was an animation missing key frames.
"Oh nothing..." he reclaimed his boisterous, over-the-top smug attitude. "I was gonna ask you out on a date, but I'm a busy guy... so."
"Okay." you gave him a friendly, confused smile. "Well then, see you around—"
"—d'you wanna go on a date with me?"
"Huh?"
"?"
"A date?"
"Yeah? Y-yeah. A date."
"When?"
"Right now."
"Right now? (Didn't he just say he's a busy guy?) Aha, sorry... but I must reject you. I promised my friend I would watch his basketball match. It's important to him. He's made it to the finals."
"...huh?"
Satoru's shoulders slump. His heart sinks, and so sink his hands into his pockets — balled up into fists. He clenches his jaw in embarrassment.
"You can't seriously be rejecting me..."
You misunderstand him to be saying that as a joke. He notices your misunderstanding, but plays along.
"Haha. See you, Satoru."
"Uhhh yeah... see you."
Ah, his heart is so patheticaally thumping when he hears you say his name.
You leave the library.
A boyish blush paints him hot red all over. He kicks his feet annoyedly and hangs his head in defeat.

Name: Bowser Castle 2 Debut: Super Mario Kart
Oh no! We didn't have a post ready for today! Well let me improvise one for you really quick. Because I love you. Don't take it too personally, though, we're not here to start parasocial relationships with our followers! Sorry. I hope you understand.
This is Bowser Castle 2, from Super Mario Kart, but if I named it I'd call it Bowser Castle POO! Because it isn't very good.
Many people consider this one of the worst courses in Mario Kart history, and many people would be right! You see, iconic Bad Guy King Morton "Bowser" Koopa Sr. wanted to prove his Bad Guy status by creating a Bad Course, and boy howdy did he! He probably feels so smug about it. Jerk.
Look at that map. This course has a dead end on it. This might be the only course in Mario Kart history to do such a thing! It's possible you can use a Feather to turn that into a shortcut, but I've never pulled it off. But also I'm not very good at this game, nor am I interested in becoming good at this game, so it might just be a skill issue on my part.
But getting past the dead end offers you no reprieve, as afterwards you have to deal with this mess! It feels like they're trying to make some sort of double-loop formation, but all the 90 degree turns combined with the bridge connecting the loops being at the top ends up making it play very awkwardly. Or something like that. Listen I'm just writing this post in a stream of conscience, I dunno how to describe what's so bad about this beyond "it's bad."

luigi enters the torment labyrinth
As you can probably expect, having "being the worst Mario Kart course ever made" on its resume hasn't done good things for SNES Bowser Castle 2. The only game it's returned in is Super Circuit, which included literally every SNES course, which is to say it was not getting any sort of special treatment. Even Mario Kart Tour, a game which literally invented new SNES courses for the sake of getting more content out of existing assets, refused to bring Bowser Castle 2 into its arms.
Is there any hope in this world for an absolute dogwater course like this one? I dunno but that's not gonna stop me from coming up with hypothetical solutions. Yes this is the kind of thing I think about in my spare time! Don't judge me!
Really, for all I've been dunking on this course in this post, I don't think it'd actually take all that much to get this into a playable state. As you can see, I've re-envisioned the dead end as a shortcut (likely blocked off with a wooden cutout so you need to use a mushroom), and I've reimagined the Torment Labyrinth as a double roundabout configuration à la Wii Rainbow Road. After that I just smoothed out some turns, added a glider ramp at the end so you have something to do during the last straightaway, and envisioned some totally awesome elevation changes that can not be displayed from a bird's-eye view like this, and bam! I created a version of this course that could potentially maybe be enjoyable.
I mean I dunno. I don't have the means to play it.
I drew this earlier this morning and it's the entire reason I've decided to make this our spur-of-the-moment post. I hope you're proud of me. For what it's worth, at least SNES Bowser Castle 2 can theoretically be made into a somewhat enjoyable course. It's not like it's stuck with a name like "Figure-8 Circuit" or something.

hi :)) a bit of a personal request but could i get wanderer comfort for a fem or g/n reader? (your choice) i have a...difficult relationship with my father. when he's sad/angry/upset he usually takes his frustration out on me by yelling at me and calling me names and other hurtful things. then when i cry he tells me that I'm pretending to be a victim, and blames me entirely for his feelings. i just had a sitution like this earlier tonight so its on my mind :) anyway, could i get wanderer comfort for a situation like this? or if this is too specific maybe where reader just doesn't get along with their father? thanks sm <33333
A Salve For Unhealed Wounds
TW: Toxic dad, name calling by a parental figure, emotional distress and familial conflict, crying in public, there's a swear word in there, 1,5k words
a.n. Nonnie, sorry for the wait :( I had an exam and couldn't be on here at all (also left you a short message at the bottom)
It happened again.
The man you were supposed to trust with your life yelled at you again. Your heart aches at the implication that the weight of his love for you changes depending on the emotion reigning his mind and heart. Your mind crumbles when it recollects the words he spat out so easily when red paints his iris.
It wouldn’t have hurt as much if he’s always this way. It hurts because you’ve seen the smile that escapes his guarded heart on rare occasions. You’ve also heard him say good things and do good deeds the way an honorable man would–when he’s not mad that is.
It’s unfair that he can’t always be that way with you.
You took off towards the Puspa Cafe, hoping the bustle of Sumeru evening would be the cooling salve you need to soothe your battered mood.
Yeah, that’s a good idea.
Entering the establishment, scents of coffee and spice filled your nostrils as ease settled between the spaces of your bones. The balmy yellow and brown hues greeted your weary state as the inviting warmth of the cinders burning in the oven beckons you to rest. You made the right call to come here tonight.
Or, so you thought.
Despite being on good terms with the otherwise lonesome man, you did not want to see the infamous hat guy; not tonight. It’s less about his presence and more about yours. The dynamic between the two of you is akin to that of a flying serpent and a scorpion. You’d take frequent jabs at each other, flinging teasing remarks and poking fun at one another but somehow, in a very weird roundabout way, there’s always a sincere sort of care behind it all.
Right now, however, you don’t think you have it in you to take what you know he can dish. You did get lucky and got a secluded seat, you just hope he does not notice you here.
“What are you doing here, prickly bush,” he called out to you just as your train of thought chugged away to somewhere beyond the oak doors of the cafe.
Right, so much for peace of mind.
You turn towards him, the frown that began dissipating moments ago returning in full force. Grumbling before speaking, you let out, “Not today, please, I’m not in the mood.”
“Oh yeah, someone’s definitely a prickle bush right now.”
You were at a crossroads between telling him to leave and bursting into tired tears when he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Your eyebrows scrunched as he sat across you. You looked at him but his eyes were trained away from you, staring at some other patron sitting at the wooden bar just a bit away from the both of you.
Since when was he a caring man?
Your thoughts and confusion settle into a prolonged silence. You half expected him to grumble out an insult along the lines of “Are your ears clogged” or “Need help finding a hearing aid” but he, surprisingly, sat still; eyes now hopping over to a woman by the door having a conversation with a balding man.
Is he patient now? What kind of patron-saint bullshit is he pulling?
Not that you’re complaining, though. You much prefer this despite the weirdness of it all; or rather the newness.
“I’m fine–”
“Don’t lie, if you can’t lie,” he interrupts as he points at your fingers curling in on each other.
He sure is perceptive when you don’t want him to be.
Silent gathers the both of you in its arms once more as you think of a response to give to him. He’s being kind right now but you don’t feel like divulging everything to him. Your friendship is just beginning to stand on two feet. It’s taking baby steps at best. You don’t want to scare him away by dumping all your shit on him. By the abyssal name, he probably carries more baggage than you and you don’t see him throwing them around.
“You don’t have to tell me, don’t get all constipated just because I asked,” he said before continuing even softer, “You seemed down, just thought it’d be helpful to ask.”
Though you did not notice it at the time, your heart slowly began to lay down the walls you raised from the events that transpired earlier under the roof of your father’s house.
Perhaps, he can help.
The wanderer was about to take his leave when you whispered with a certain weariness he found familiar, “My father isn’t always a nice man.”
He sat back down as quickly as he could. He probably sat on one of the ornate hanging detailings of his hat or on that long sleeve of his but he couldn’t be bothered by it. Though his eyes look past you, you know his focus is solely on what you have to say.
So, you told him. At first, you tried to be as close to the baseline as possible, choosing to speak of the basic details but soon you choked up and told him everything. Your thoughts, your fears, even your longing for a better version of the father you wanted to look up to, bubbled out of your tired heart. As the night sky grows darker outside, you find yourself slightly teary-eyed as your long story comes towards its end.
Your eyes were still on your hands that laid on your lap, palms now sweaty from excessive nervous rubbing. You stole a glance at him and, just like you, he barely moved from his previous position. He’s still not looking at you, almost like he’s not listening at all but you know he is.
It took a beat or two, almost like he was waiting to see if you had more to say before he opened his mouth to speak.
“You’re kind, you know?”
What?
“I don’t get it. What do you mean ‘I’m kind’?”
“Just that. You’re kind, maybe even too kind.”
You fully looked up at him now to see that his eyes were already on you.
“I listened to you tell me about the horrible things that man says to you and, yet, you still call him by a title he doesn’t deserve,” before you can question him, he answers, “A dad.”
You’re silent as he continues, “This cruel world decides to give him something so precious and he decides to lie and say all these shitty things. He’s not a good man but he’s dumb too if he’s got something so precious and decides that the best course of action is to call it untrue names. Does he not realize the power a name holds?”
Wet droplets stain your hands and lap as tears fall from your eyelids, lungs heavy, and muscles sagging.
Taking a look at his surroundings he sighs before taking his hat off and placing it on you.
“I’m sure you don’t want anyone seeing you like this and speaking about it tomorrow, here.”
The tenderness of his voice and action winds your heart up as more choked sobs gurgle out of your throat.
Your neck tightens in protest as you try to speak but you fight the pain of your contracting muscles as you force out, “On a good day I… I know that he's lying… but sometimes I can’t help but think he’s right,” you sniffled and let a wave of uncontrollable sobs pass you by before continuing, “I mean there’s only so much… so much… I can deny before something false starts feeling real.”
Your admission broke the puppet's imaginary heart as he wills himself to hold back his instinct to swing insults and fists at your father. Instead, he chose to let what he supposes are comforting words drown your sorrow. It’s rigid and almost primal the way he tries to soothe your sadness but it's tender and warm in its own way, just as he is.
“Are you… are you sure he’s wrong? How can you… you be so sure?”
The staccato of your unsure question is met with unwavering eyes as he nods.
“I’m sure. I wouldn’t have said what I said otherwise.”
You hid your face with your hands as your back slumped forward. The wanderer could see the heaving of your shoulders and he could only comfort you by repeating his praise for you. Much like a devotee chanting his faith, he whispered kind words in hopes that by repeating it, you will believe this too. He hopes he’s done enough to override the names your father engraved into you with angered frowns, at least temporarily. The road to recovery winds away and is far from linear but he's ready to accompany you if you want him to.
As you continue to let out the emotions you thought dried up years ago, you hear him say, “Even if you forget again, just tell me and I’ll remind you that you’re nice, you’re smart and you’re so, so kind.”
Nice, smart, and kind huh?
You don’t think you can believe it right now but slowly, you hope you will.
Part two (not really that intertwined but I made it with the same characters in mind) To Nonnie, I'm sorry you have to go through this. I hope this little piece of fiction brings you some comfort, even if it might not fully capture what you're feeling. If there's anything more I can do to help or if you just need someone to talk to, please let me know.

A Word with Friends
It still happens to be Word Wednesday for me haha
I've recovered enough (thank you 2 hour nap!) to put this together for this week! Thank you again @hedwigoprah for the game and the tag!!
Early tagging @mythals-whore, @serensama, @antivan-sprig, @thedissonantverses, @tinyshoopuf, and @thecraftybaroness if you guys wanna play this week!
This week's word: Egregious
1: Exceptional, conspicuous, outstanding, most usually in a negative fashion. 2: Outrageously bad; shocking.
A chat with Johanna Hezenkoss below the cut:
----
Ever since Emmrich moved into the Lighthouse, Sabriel found herself drifting towards his study fairly regularly. His collection of books, lovely fireplace, beautiful view and choice of furniture made the space particularly appealing. It was like having a little slice of home right next door.
But ever since Hezenkoss took up residence in the room, she found herself…reluctant to linger.
She knew the woman was bored. A mind as sharpened and clever as Johanna Hezenkoss was bound to rankle at being stuck in one place with little to entertain.
That didn't mean Sabriel wanted to talk to her though.
"You there. Watcher whelp."
Sabriel sighed, turning away from the bookshelf. "Yes ma'am?"
Hezenkoss scoffed. "Again with those blasted manners. Do you enjoy needling me with your false courtesy?"
"Would you stop talking to me if I said yes?"
This made the half-lich pause. "That almost had some bite to it."
"My apologies. It has been a long day." Sabriel found herself bowing slightly to the skull.
Despite Hezenkoss's many many crimes, Sabriel had been raised with the expectation of respect for one's elders, and especially those with more expertise than you. The woman's morals may have been…questionable at best, but her knowledge and skill were still worthy of respect, in Sabriel's eyes.
Nevertheless, she could practically hear the eyeroll in Hezenkoss's voice when she responded, "Apologies! For what! Growing a spine?" The skull flashed green. "Have you ever considered that pushing boundaries is the only way to make progress?"
"From my understanding, your pushing of boundaries caused you to halt progress, actually."
"A temporary setback!" Hezenkoss verbally handwaved the argument away. "If Volkarin would get over himself for 5 minutes and loosen the wards, I could prove that my craft is back to progressing! And at a far greater pace than any of those meager Watchers that trained you."
Sabriel sighed. "If this is a roundabout way to get me to convince Emmrich to allow you to try casting, I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you, ma'am."
"Well. No matter." Hezenkoss let the issue go with suspicious ease. "We can begin with a less lofty goal: letting go of that stiff spine and etiquette."
Sabriel blinked. "I'm…sorry?"
"You'll get nowhere if you do not act appropriately in command! You must show that you are superior to anyone who dares question your decisions! You are in charge of this gang of buffoons, are you not?"
"They are all experts, I would hardly call them buffoon-"
"Your evaluation is irrelevant. Now. To begin, you should behave according to your true feelings. You may begin with me, as I am already aware of your dislike and it does not matter."
Sabriel gritted her teeth. She knew Hezenkoss would keep doggedly pursuing this line of thinking if she didn't at least put up a token effort of playing along. "With all due respect, Johanna, I do not wish to undergo an extended period of…rudeness training with you. No matter how bored you may be."
Honestly, she just wanted to peruse some books in her very rare off time. Why was she getting harassed by a spirit in a skull instead?
Hezenkoss was silent for a moment before she barked out a single mocking laugh. "That's all? The most egregious social offense you can think of is being too familiar with me? Clearly we have much farther to go than I realized."
Sabriel pinched the bridge of her nose, briefly turning back to the shelf and grabbing a volume seemingly at random. "Have a good day, ma'am."
Whatever the skull's reply was, she didn't pay attention as she beat a hasty retreat from the study. She'd have to apologize to Emmrich later for leaving his "roommate" in a foul mood.
#my writing#a word with friends#oc: sabriel ingellvar#dragon age#veilguard#honestly? hezenkoss is so fun to write#i love her anyway but I love her even more now#the mourn watch is so good for me I love using ten dollar words and super pretentious phrasing

tears of the kingdom SAF au? Pray tell...
Okay. SO. (Sorry for the very late response!!)
First of all I am going to link you this post because it is currently my biggest post about the au, I think. I will probably repeat a lot of information from that here but I will also probably miss things and I am going to try to include new info.
Anyway. Spoilers ahead for both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
The most important thing about this au is that Curt and Owen are Link and Zelda. That is always my ultimate focus and I have a bunch of other half-formed concepts for them as other iterations of zelink which are also technically canon to the au. I call these, collectively, "Legends Are Forever" - hence the saf totk au being "Legends Are Forever: Tears of the Dragon" (like the beta title!), although this name is somewhat misleading since I'm including both botw and totk.
Curtwen as zelink being the focus is just as well because uhhhhh I do not have castings for most characters as there are just Too Many People in botw and totk. So it really is those two games with some saf characters thrown in there for fun and pain. Weird mix of crossover and au because I wasn't happy with, for example, my casting options for Rauru and Sonia. But! I try my best to make something meaningful with the characters I do have there. This is like a very weird roundabout way to do character study of Curt, Owen, Link, and Zelda. As a result of putting them through Link and Zelda's stories, I think totk!curtwen end up being notably different characters from their canon counterparts, but when I've been trying to suss them out I've tried to always keep weaving in themes from and parallels with SAF.
Anyway castings so far:
Curt as Link Owen as Zelda Barb as Purah Cynthia as Impa Tatiana as Sidon The Informant as a fusion of Yunobo and Penn Richard Big as Revali The DMA's henchmen potentially as Domidak and Prissen (yep, they have no impact on the plot) Mystery Woman/The Lounge Singer as Kass (no idea what I'm doing with this or how but it is still important to me) And then also Sergio as Hudson, but I'm also currently considering merging his role with Teba as an excuse to have his nephew Marco as Tulin Susan is also in there somewhere, probably as Robbie, Symin, or Kado (I think that's his name? The one of Impa's guards who keeps chickens, not the ex-Yiga guy Dorian).
You may notice that I do not have castings for very important characters like Rhoam, Rauru, Sonia, Mineru, Riju, and Ganondorf. Yep they're all just kind of there. Rhoam's name is slightly changed though. (He gets yet another one to add to the list so he's now King Rhoam Bosphoramus Carvour Hyrule. He married into the royal family and comes from an aristocratic family himself, who rose up through the gentry MANY generations ago with their stone-carving trade. They were known for their reliefs and statues.) I also keep joking that Ganondorf is voiced by Joe Walker in this au. I might end up using BVN as Kohga in some way, but I'm not sure yet about this decision or how to go about it.
Also Mrs Mega is herself. We never meet Link's mother, so, boom. Mama Mega is there now. She's around for at least the pre-botw era, though not usually close to the action - that house in Hateno is originally hers.
Anyway right it is very late and I will probably add more at another time but another important bit of information that will actually become important but I haven't talked about publicly yet: I'm adding another geoglyph for this au. I don't really like that the events in the cutscene "The Imprisoning War" are just supposedly recounted by Mineru at the Spirit Temple - I think it should have been a Dragon's Tear, personally, so I am making it be one. The geoglyph picture is a bird's eye view of the floor of the Imprisoning Chamber, centred on the rock on Mount Hylia that acts as Rhoam's grave/memorial, and the tear is near the wall of the Great Plateau, south-southwest of the peak of the mountain. (The peak has a little bit that sticks out a bit northeast, which I am taking as the 'up' direction of the geoglyph image, so the tear lands where Owen is in the Imprisoning chamber relative to Ganondorf in the vision.)
Images for reference:
It's a tad too close to "A King's Duty" and "A Show of Fealty" really, but it's close to the Light Dragon's path which is the key thing for me. (You can consider these screenshots a sneak peek of 'the ascent' while I am still working on it. These are my reference images.)
Uhhhh right I definitely need to add more at another time but yeah! The saf totk au! That other post definitely has more information I think. But yeah I love my totk curtwen so much and also they are going THROUGH it

@shajaah writes: "Alm, can I ask you a question?" Of course, Alm had no problem with Lucina asking him one. It did confuse him at first how come she is Chrom's daughter when the man he knows is about her age. "Are you and ...miss Celica...married?" hands nervously rubbing against each other. "UM! I'm sorry if this was so forward I just erm, saw you two...happy in the spring festival, together. You looked quite beautiful if I can say so that's why I was wondering if you guys were um married." Why is she asking this though ..."Alm! When do you know you want to marry this person?" Now she is serious in her tone.
There's something about the energy Lucina radiates in her approach that makes Alm feel as if he has been set off balance before she even speaks. Of course, it's a feeling he's had to get familiar with in Askr, grappling with the idea of people here being all sorts of time apart from each other to absurd degrees, but it felt like there was more to it than this particular angle at the moment.
And then, of course, she speaks, and he can feel his stomach start to sink to his feet and cheeks burn with sudden color at the very idea that they were— gosh.
The laugh that leaves him as jittery as his nerves, his hands clasp together awkwardly, rubbing at where the ring on his finger would be were he not in battle attire. Well—
... ... ... oh! What a roundabout way to ask...! ... And what a position to be in! He's usually the one asking questions to those he thinks have more experience, not the other way around.
"Uh... well..." Great start, Your Royal Sheepishness. Alm takes a breath, rolls his shoulders, and tries to tackle his nervous cohort's questions. One step at a time.
"Ease there," he pauses. Kiddo? Buddy? "Lucina." That worked. They were, in the end, equals, and Lucina here looked a bit older than him (maybe it's that haunted look that seemed to follow her around). Trying to school his expression into a more calm and collected one, he claps his hand on her shoulder in what he hopes is reassurance and smiles. "Celica and I, well... we aren't married. Yet. Sort of. We're engaged, see? And, well, set to marry at the start of the new year back home." And Gods does he hope that when he returns he has not simply missed his wedding and whatever else may have happened in his absence... this whole Askr thing was weird and he tried not to think about it.
"As for knowing— well, if you want a more analytical perspective, you might want to ask my better half. She's a whole lot more... deliberate than I am in actions and choices. I kind of crash my way through with... straightforward sincerity, really, when it comes to matters of the heart." Knowing he hasn't quite put his best foot forward, Alm figures he might as well make a case for himself not just going on whims, whimsy and the first things that come to mind. So, he takes a breath, then taps his left index finger on his chin thoughtfully. "I know it's not helpful to say 'I just kind of knew', it wasn't just on impulse that I asked her to spend the rest of our lives together..."
But how should he put this? Well! Why not tackle the real reason behind her question? A plan of action forms in his mind.
"I figure you're asking because you've got someone on your mind, right? Well, does this person make you happy? If you try to imagine a life with them, how does that make you feel?" A pause. "You don't have to say, of course, just... try and picture it. Think about how you feel about the idea of living with them every day— even without marriage or anything official. Even just... spending the spring festival together, like Celica and I."

Chapter 3 Characters: Natsu Obinata, Violet Fisher, @driftward 's Nyx Blackmoon, U'odh Nuhn, U'rahn Nuhn, L'lolamo Lolomori, U'rahn Tia Rating: T for Nuhn Notes: cw Asphyxiation, cw mammet abuse
Natsu’s soul sunk into her belly as she soared through the air on Violet's dirt bike. Even with a helmet and assurances of having an aetheric barrier of protection it did little to assuage the uneasiness that came with 200 lbs of Garlean metal between their legs bounding over sand dunes.
“If you squeeze me any tighter I'm going to pass out,” Violet warned through her linkpearl, not flinching as she landed and sharply turned to putter down a dip between the high mounds of sand.
“S-sorry,” Natsu said, loosening her grip.
“It's fine. You should worry about yourself too. I don't want you passing out because you grazed me wrong.”
“I'm sorry?”
“You get hit with the Echo by touch and given the way you forget with your gloves, you've got little control over it.”
“Yeah…I'm told that is not conventional. Most apparently have visions of an event, I seem to live it. Where I grew up…it…well…”
“I get it. I can dip into the lifestream…people aren't exactly kind to those who know things they shouldn't. You won't find yourself short of those who can empathize if you continue to stick around the Free Company.”
Natsu tensed up, turning to rest the cheek of her helmet on Violet's back. “I feel I've rather worn out my welcome. Leon…”
“Don't start with that shit. You didn't do anything wrong. You hear me?”
“But-”
“Look. I can count the people that are close to me on two hands. Leon was one of them. Whatever is going on didn't happen because he decided to play big brother in Y'zel's absence. He was a good guy and would not blame you for his circumstances. You said you felt what he was feeling. Did he even spare you a thought, anger or otherwise?”
Natsu went silent. She didn't like to dwell on her experiences with the Echo, but Violet had a point. She was the least of Leon's concerns. It helped, in a roundabout way.
“Thanks,” Natsu said weakly.
Violet turned her head a little bit to look back at the Au Ra, “I wouldn't thank me yet. I had an ulterior motive for dragging you along.”
Natsu sat back a bit, looking at Violet before jumping in her seat as news articles flashed into her visor. She yelped as Violet hit the breaks to keep her from falling backward.
“I threw together some Allagan tech and my own to display audio visuals as a means of communication or tuning out to boring conversations.”
Natsu nodded, looking through the articles, the pages seeming to pick up on her attention. Most described catch and release kidnappings by Garlean soldiers. “I don't understand…these people are reporting that they were lightly interrogated and then released unharmed. What does this have to do with me?”
“Possibly nothing, but there's two things that have given me pause. One is that, while not reported, every victim had the Echo.”
Natsu tilted her head, reading through an article again, “How could you know?”
“I didn't at first. Which brings me to the second part. Three victims have not been returned. First a researcher who studies those with the Echo, Patient Heaven, then Archon Mikoto Jinba and the other a nobody in terms of status, Hayzel Summers.Here's the thing though, the latter is the brother-in-law of one of the Free Company's grunt workers. He had asked for help and divulged that they have the Echo as well. So I hit the pavement to get more information.
“The Archon has the ability to get glimpses of the future rather than look into the past while the other can manifest dreams and nightmares. The others involved had your run of the mill brief headaches with little bites of the past.”
Natsu thought for a moment, “What made you piece all of this together?”
“Boredom, mostly. I've grown accustomed to chaos.”
“And my place in all this?”
Violet didn't answer immediately, rolling through the dunes carefully. “I think you're a potential target, along with myself.”
“Because of our Echo…”
“Exactly,” Violent said crisply before stopping as they neared the walls of the Forgotten Springs, “What's more is that this all coincides with Y'zel's disappearance. Shortly after the abduction of Mikoto and the trickling in of reports he went missing and the database at headquarters was softlocked forcing Gage to beef up security measures. I believe he figured out what was going on and tried to sabotage whoever is looking for Echo users.”
“I don't understand. Why wouldn't he say something?”
Violet pulled off her helmet then shook out her hair. “Most likely to keep himself hidden given his own Echo. Not to mention he is notoriously bad at communication.”
Natsu pulled her helmet free then rubbed on her horns, finding them a bit itchy after being compressed inside the helmet. Violet crossed her arms, leaning on her cycle as she bit her thumb and got lost in thought for a moment before looking to the gate. “All of it feels connected…but the why eludes me. No reason to worry about it now anyway. Let's go see what had our favorite automaton fly this way.”
“Automaton?”
“Nyx.”
“Are they not a Miqo'te?” Natsu asked.
“I am not a Miqo'te,” a monotone voice came from behind.
Natsu jumped then turned around to find Nyx staring at her. Nervously she took a step back, feeling as if she were being assessed by their vacant stare.
“Rahn has been harmed by an unknown assailant claiming to be me. The Drake clan has conflicting stories about traffic to and from his home. U-Rahn Tia has been damaged and cannot give an unbiased report. There is an urgent need to perform corrective violence. Possibly to the point of extermination of the threat.”
Violet was taken aback at the news, “Someone hurt him? Physically?”
“Yes. Rahn is not invulnerable. He can be poisoned, drowned, starved-”
“Maybe we don't list all the ways you've calculated to kill your boyfriend and just tell us what happened.”
“Understood. Asphyxiation.”
Natsu let out a little gasp in shock, though Nyx looked on unphased. The Hyur simply nodded then turned to lead them back into the village where Drake huntresses gathered around a singular house, well armed and looking worried. As Natsu looked back to see if Nyx was following, she found them just as suddenly absent.
Natsu soon found herself in U'rahn's small house. The Nuhn was laid out on a bed with a damaged Miqo'te mammet under his arm. He was propped up against a Miqo'te woman who had his similar sandy hair as he slept soundly while in her arms. U’rahn’s breathing was shallow and pained. A large plum colored bruise covered his neck.
“Shit,” Violet breathed out before looking up to the older Miqo'te. “Nyx said you don't know who did this? Are you certain this wasn't a Tia scuffle and the ladies are just covering it up? I don't see the guys around.”
The man rubbed his beard and shook his head, “Khuba and Thyka are scouting the area for trrraces of the assailant. I'm not optimistic. No one can agrrree on a damn thing.”
“I'm sure we'll figure out who hurt your son, U'odh,” Violet said, giving the Au Ra a glance.
Natsu quickly averted her gaze and began to fidget with her gloves. She began to look around quietly taking in the room to avoid the Hyur’s knowing gaze as they talked with U'rahn's father.
The room was fairly organized with just two beds, a kitchenette, and small dining area. Faded posters of bomball players and teams were slapped across the wall along with a bunch of newer pictures of friends and family. Many featured him squished together in a frame with Nyx. Books were stacked up next to his bed, most on prenatal and child care, the Nuhn seeming to be expecting his first. And then of course a pile of clothes and adventuring gear. “Um…where did it happen,” Natsu asked.
U’odh turned, “In here. We found him on the ground with Lolamo nearby.”
“Did you clean up then?”
Violet quickly spun her head, “Shit. You're right, Natsu! U'rahn isn't exactly the most perceptive of his surroundings. If there was a fight there'd have been signs.”
U’odh shook his head and looked to his son and wife, “Only the mammet and U'rahn seemed harmed. There was also an iron skillet on the floorrr. Aside from that, nothing was amiss.”
The Hyur moved to the bed, reaching for the mammet before having her hand intercepted by Nyx. “You will not touch U-Rahn Tia. I will start on repairs after I have finished assessing the threat.”
Violet held her hands up defensively as Nyx backed away with U’rahn Tia, placing the mammett on the counter in the kitchenette. Natsu squirmed where she stood, feeling more and more on the spot, knowing well she could simply get their answers with a touch. Carefully she pulled her glove from her hand and walked toward the bed.
“Obinata,” Nyx’s voice sounded by her horn, “Your experience will be unpleasant if you proceed with your course of action.”
Natsu jumped, startled by Nyx’s swift interception, “H-How did you-” “Observation.”
“R-Right,” the Au Ra said before looking down at her hands, “But…I think I’m the only one that will take the guesswork out of what happened.”
“Understood. You may touch Rahn. I shall standby to pull you away should you express discomfort,” Nyx said, moving to stand stiffly at the side of the bed.
“Thank you,” Natsu said before sitting beside the sleeping pair before carefully putting her hand on U’rahn’s bicep.
Her thoughts were scattered. One minute she was worrying about her huntress having enough broccoli to wondering what Jannie was getting up to with her wedding plans before starting to feel anxious about asking Nyx to marry her. No thought stayed too long though.
Shje sighed, looking to her mom in the next bed wondering if she was ever going to recover and wake from her sleep.
“Father. Not Not Mother is here,” U'rahn Tia chirped from beside his bed.
“No no buddy. Heck you're getting worse. Just say Mother. Not, Not Mother…er, Not Not Not Mother,” he said, scratching his chin, fumbling on the words before perking up as Nyx let themself in, “Hey Hey! I've been good and staying put like you asked. Did they tell you U’goromuli is officially with child! I'm gonna be a dad!”
“Yes, Rahn,” Nyx said, attention turning to U'rahn Tia as he wandered toward them.
“Not Not Mother,” U'rahn Tia said, pointing up toward Nyx.
Nyx’s eyes narrowed. Natsu felt her heart race as a sense of dread came over them. Nyx didn't squint…or really make any expression. Standing, he quickly put himself between U'rahn Tia and the imposter. “Hey Hey! You know how you were telling me about where you came from the other day but I forgot whether you were from a Seeker tribe or Keeper tribe…or just a Miqo'te from neither.”
Nyx seemed to search his face, “I am just a Miqo'te.”
Her ears perked. This wasn't Nyx. They would never say they were a Miqo'te. Suddenly all their conversations from the past month ran through her mind, thinking on them expressing a dislike for food she'd made as too salty and her ambivalence toward U'rahn Tia aside from the occasional glance. There were times where he'd asked about something they'd said before but could not recall.
“I'm such an idiot,” she said in disbelief before finding Nyx’s hand tight around his throat and lifting him much higher than they should be able to.
“I was intending on keeping you here until I finished, but if you're intent on getting in the way, Warrior of Light, I will have to put you down,” Nyx’s voice sounded, though filled with a strange frustration she thought impossible.
She squirmed and tried to kick but the shock of not having air made her quickly weaken in struggle. Her aetheric shield seemed to falter as she panicked , feeling her trachea be collapsed by the hand. Out of the corner of her eye she saw U'rahn Tia come forward and start punching at the imposter’s shin.
“It is herrro time,” the mammet said in his monotone before being kicked and sent into the wall.
Fear flooded Natsu, having never been faced with her own mortality. As she felt herself slipping into unconsciousness a soft familiar voice sounded, “Get…your hand…off my…baby!”
“Obinata!”
Natsu yelped as she was pulled back into Nyx’s strong arms. Shaking she quickly pushed past everyone to get outside, Violet and Nyx following. As she knelt down to get sick, she felt both pull her bangs back. Once finished, she wiped her face and sniffled as U’odh bought a cool wet cloth for her to clean up with.
“S-Someone who looked like Nyx came. He knew it wasn't them just from a look they gave the mammet and when they were wise to one another they attacked him…I think…I think his mom woke up to save him? He was really confused and relieved right before I felt him start to fade.”
“Talk about mother’s instinct,” Violet said before looking to Nyx, “Any chance you have sisters running around?”
“Extremely unlikely. And they would not match my appearance.”
“Then our mysterious changeling strikes again,” Violet mused.
Natsu shook out her head then stood up. “I should see what I can get with his mom. Maybe they'll see something.”
“Obinata, your heightened emotional state due to experiencing the perception of end of life has caused injury to your physical state. Food and rest is recommended before you make contact with another,” Nyx cautioned in their monotone.
Natsu blinked then held her stomach a moment before giving a little nod. “If you insist.”
“I do not insist. Your wellbeing will do more to help Rahn and find my target.”
“Well, I insist,” Violet interjected, handing Natsu her glove, “Have anything to eat old man?”
U’odh crossed his arms, furrowing his brow a bit. “I will do my best to fix something up. Have U’goromuli find you a room to rest in. She should be in our common building.”
With that the Nuhn turned, leaving the three to themselves, though Nyx seemed to vanish in the time it took for the other two to think to look back for them. Natsu sighed, lightly bumping into Violet as they entered the Forgotten Springs’ commons, letting the Hyur wrap her arm around her in comfort.

Love Live S2E05 Assorted Thoughts
Nozomi is the one doing the "on the prev ep" for Nico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KotoUmi keep being awesome as Honoka's ride or die friends!!!!!!
WTF is her problem????????? Okay, look, literally the only one constantly antagonizing the other is Maki. Nico only snapped at her once when she was jealous of her being rich. After that in the same freaking episode she quipped but as a roundabout way to help her. Maki has done literally nothing for Nico by the way (it was all Honoka.)
Again, black hair red eyes is such a devilish combo! I love it! (biased).
Believe in me who believes in you is such a GOATed sentiment…
They're just so touchy-feely… BTW Nico so cute!
SHE'S SO SUPPORTIVE. Needed especially with how freaking intimidating NicoMaki can be, jeez!
STFU, now's NOT the moment!!!
They're getting on her case for talking… like a normal person (or, well, going all desuwa) and not going nya nya every two words…?????FUCK YOU GUYS LET HER BE!!!!!!!
So cute Nico being the "be yourself!!!" girly. But it tracks!!!!!
You know what? I love HonoNico and it IS my fave Nico pairing, but while I totally see what Nico gets out of the relationship, I don't really see what Honoka gets from Nico, lol. One of the super rare cases where even with my blorbo bias I'm struggling, Honoka already has such a fulfilling life I literally see nothing she could get from or even see in Nico, beyond being her usual awesome self who sees the best in others I mean. But if that's the case her ride or die ones are right there, right? Nico is the one who goes out of her way the most to motivate her I guess, other than the childhood friends. Everyone kinda deflates but Nico will struggle forward and aniki punch her!!
ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's cool that Maki is the one who noticed Rin's off beat. She IS the musician after all!!
LOL, rather, the point is that Maki ends up leading after all, right?
No actually, the point is that Maki and Nico will have dumbass strong opinions and clash and Rin has to mediate and choose!
And now they're needling Rin. Poor girl. That's so weird that they made her the leader, she's so accommodating, lol. She's a shenanigans girl but mostly in a follows the atmosphere way.
I LOVE THIS.
Rather than "not being idol like", my reading is that Rin is just there for her friends, it's not like she particualrly wants to be an idol, so of course there's not a particular strong image she wants to project. Whatever others decide to do she'll follow along instead. I wish Hanayo kept her glasses…
Ugh I love the second year trio man, they keep being the best ever, forever!!!
Nico is being so openly supportive, it's almost throwing me off. Not particularly out of character, but still feels unexpected.
But man, this just goes to show how much Nico ends up being the first years' caretaker.
LOL, Nico has a grudge on Rin for always being sent to catch her! It's not Rin's fault, everyone else sends her!!!
I love how many group calls they have where they're watching out for each other and trying to figure out what's wrong. They're awesome friends, although, I'd be distressed if I found out everyone was talking about me without me knowing, even if it was nothing bad…
Nico (et al) look so nice………… I KINDA wish they were full suits though and not half-dresses…
Ahh, I love her….
Look at how she's standing!!!! I love the confident girl pose!!!!!!!
GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY.
WAIT!!!!!!!
I enjoy the "extending your hand" importance that's given in this show. It's always what reassures everyone and motivates them to move forward. I like it. FRIENDSHIP. ARTISTRY. AND whatnot.
SO TRUE I WAS THINKING THAT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Maki so real. The real, most "normal girl" vibes is Rin, after all!!!
MakiRin is good!! Sorry Rin, if even Maki can top you then you've just confirmed yourself as the absolute bottom in the party… RIP. Prepare yourself to get the "lost to Hanayo" title.
T..................THEY.....................
It's so wholesome that it's a full first years scene, but let Nico say something else too!!! (I'm being unreasonable lol).
MAN I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!!!!!!!!
Season two has such sweet moments man.
Congrats on your marriage!!!!!!
OMG ME ON THE LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMFAO, is Eli getting scouted??
Honk keeps being such a gigachad man. How did they do i? How did they make her so effective and likeable? I don't get it!! I love her. She set it all up for Rin, almost like she knew! She also knew she had to pat Nico on the back in the last episode, even when everyone was just mad at her. I don't get it! Despite supposedly being dense and prancing forward without understanding Nico's feelings.
Or, no, well. I guess it's more like………….. Everyone knew already something was up with Nico, so while everyone was seeing it from the worst angle possible, Honoka chose to see the best in her. With Rin here, I don't know. But with Kotori specifically, she'd be able to do it if she'd been able to parse that something was weird, but it didn't at all (which is exactly the part that she regrets by the way!!!) It's not that she misinterprets or doesn't get people, it's that she doesn't notice if she's focusing on something else. But if she's looking at you, the only possible thing she can see is the best in you. That's what makes Honoka so great. She's the top number one best everyone's best friend.
SHE LOVED HER SOUVENIR!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!
LMFAO, are you guys just gonna make them be all over each other for no reason???? Not that I'm complaining.
This would be such a beautiful tear inducing episode… if Rin were trans… I mean it!!!!!!!! She finally feels confident enough to wear the skirt.
I'm holding out for a NozoNico moment. PLEASE. PLEASE. IS IT FANON????? :((((((((((
Me having been already a huge, unapologetic fan of love live fanworks from before even considering to start watching the show might have been… completely carrying these emotions for me. And considering that, I was expecting something really bad, it being at least decent is going a long way! Probably.
SIGH……………………..
I love how it's kinda Nico's signature move to start turned around, lol. Look at the baka trio at the front!
(Crying).
I'm always focusing on Maki in this scene going along with everyone's little dance happily, but to be honest it's super impressive with Nozomi and Eli too!!!, who area always sitting there in the corner all aloof!!
Love them posing.
SORRY I'M BEING STUPID BUT IT'S JUST SO CUTE. This was made to appeal to me specifically, gosh.
It's been each episode one grabbing a feather as they get motivated……

It's probably a combination of consistent sleep deprivation over the past week and the fragile state of the union but there were some aspects of CS S4 I found lackluster and I felt the series finale was incredibly rushed (and as someone who doesn't buy "innate" human natures, I was frustrated with the way the narrative scripted some of Graham and Carmen's choices. I did like that Graham doubled down however, and accepted what he'd done and who he'd chosen to become). But overall it entertained me and I had fun and I have PLENTY of new content to vid with. Every major character had a proper arc and each major relationship was given a satisfying resolution (especially chase and julia wow) with the obvious exception of one being VERY open-ended. I'm just so happy this show exists and I'm glad that overall, Carmen and Shadowsan got what they deserved

The coworker that doesn't like me told me I'm not allowed to eat my lunch until lunchtime (my lunch hour is at one) but it's 10am and I'm starving so I told her to get wrecked.
"What?"
"Get...wrecked. We can eat whenever we want if it's not busy. I can, you can...it's almost like we're adults that don't really need to be micromanaged. It's not busy and I wanna eat so...I'm gonna."
"WHERE IS ELI?"
"Office."
I like fucking with her now. Because I'm petty and because Eli is the most easygoing boss these people have ever had and the fact that she wants to make him less so is just...annoying.
Front desk is steps away from the office, so she does a pointed, and frankly very extra, roundabout on me and flings the door open.
"Oh hey...come on in I guess?" (Literally the ONLY pet peeve he has is about at least knocking before barging into his office). She leaves the door open so I can hear her complain about me.
I don't wear makeup.
I don't dress nice enough.
I use the bathroom too much.
I don't even have a degree.
You can't just hire your wife, can you?
I told her to get wrecked.
And and and...I eat when it's not lunch time.
I hear his chair creak back. "It wasn't very nice of her to say that and I will talk to her about it. We always want to be respectful to each other, of course. Anything else?"
"Will you address my other concerns with her?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Those aren't really your concerns to have. They have nothing to do with you and are not against policy at all. You are also free to use the bathroom or eat your lunch whenever you would like to."
"But she's in there a lot...and she is always eating."
His chair creaks again. "Look...let me just level with you. I can't tell a pregnant employee that she can't pee. That's definitely in the rules." Ohhhh noooo. He's just made a hell of a slip and caught it because he starts talking VERY FAST. "Also, I refuse to tell any of you that you can't pee whenever you want because that's just...weird and controlling and I'm never going to be that guy."
"Eli, honestly do you really think it's appropriate to be your pregnant wife's boss?"
"I'm not her boss. Darren is. I'm just willing to ask her not to tell you to get wrecked as a courtesy to you because you do such good work for me, and have for a long time."
She's not taking the compliment, and demands the district office number. I hear some clicking, and when I lean back to peek in, he's dialing it for her. "I'll give you some privacy, let me know if they need to speak to me directly."
He comes out and shuts the door behind him...surrendering his office to a bitchy old crone. He looks slightly annoyed, and I don't know what else to do but dab. He doesn't smile so I get up and floss. At this point he's waiting to see how many dumb Fortnite dances I can do so I launch into an Orange Justice. That finally gets a smile. "Okay okay...don't break your hip over it."
Some kids have seen me and are now all doing their own very cute and wiggly versions of every dance they know. Eli steps in to checkout. "Sorry for the wait, let's get you rung up...unless you wanna dance first then I can wait until at least 6pm."
Of course they keep going, a little boy coming behind the desk to pull Eli out and attempt to teach him how to floss. He can't do it. He really goes for it though, bless his heart.
Angela reaches around me into the printer tray. "Why did you marry him again?"
"Needed someone to reach the top shelf for me. The struggle is real."

Melone: hhhhh... on one hand i like the concept of him? mad scientists are always fun, but i think the added scenes by the anime and things about babyface just ruin it. i do like his design though, it's really dumb. 7.5/10
Ghiaccio: okay.. not to be a la squadra enjoyer but i think ghiaccio is just great. his design being simple but kind of iconic. his rants that do make sense, if in a roundabout way. he's probably the antagonist death i felt saddest about, ESPECIALLY because it was followed by That Scene. 9/10
Risotto Nero: i like him, I think he was one of the strongest characters in part five, and summed up parts of its philosophy. his pants are so dumb. 8/10
Squalo: i love him honestly. he wears a silly headband and has a shark, there is literally nothing wrong with him :) 8/10
Tiziano: honestly the same as squalo but i'm giving an extra half point because talking heads bias er i mean i like his color palette 8.5/10
Carne: I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND THE MORE I THINK ABOUT HIM THE MORE I GET 5/10
C**cc*l*t*: die die die i don't even like green day but i think they should be taken away from this lame bitch. at least orin scrivello gets a banger of a song, this bitch has nothing -10/10
Secco: okay. logically i know that secco is nearly as bad as cioccolata. emotionally i like him better because he's insane and i interpret the phone scene as him being happy about being free from cioccolata. go king exploit weirdos for your own safety and comfort also seccotaro real 7/10
Doppio: i like doppio man i don't know what to say.. everybody likes doppio :] 8.5/10
Diavolo: i don't think diavolo was executed as well as he could have been, but he does not actively make me want to punch the screen like dio and kira. instead he just makes me cry and throw up. pathetic. 8.5/10

Sutokuin/Akihito Main Story Chapter 20
Chapter 19
-----Part 1-----
Yoritomo: "I see you're doing well, Yoshino."
Yoshino: "We meet again, fox princess."
Yoshino: "Yoritomo-sama and Yoshitsune-sama! What are you guys doing here!?"
In addition to them, Ibuki and Yasuchika-san were also present.
Akihito: "I called you for a meeting."
Akihito: "It's an informal occasion, so you don't have to be so formal. Sit down."
Yoshino: "Y-Yes."
Feeling confused, I sit down.
Yoshino: "It's been a long time, Yoritomo-sama. You too, Yoshitsune-sama."
Yoshino: "Akihito-sama, you should have told me they're coming. I was surprised."
Akihito: "Sorry. I didn't want to make you feel awkward."
Akihito: "It was a lot of last-minute tweaking to see if we could make it happen."
Yoshitsune: "In fact, many times I turned them down."
Yoshitsune: "I don't think anything I discuss with Yoritomo and his Majesty will change my outlook for the future."
Yoritomo: "I also came here to make sure Yoshino was okay, but I didn't particularly want to see any other hang-ups."
Ibuki: "No cooperation at all."
Yasuchika: "No one wants to hear that from you, Ibuki."
Yoshino: "And yet, the meeting was really well organized, albeit unofficially."

Yoritomo and Yoshitsune: ".............."
(What's wrong?)
I tilted my head when I saw the brothers looking away from each other.
Yoshitsune: "We were lobbied in every way possible, using neighboring countries, until we agreed."
Yoritomo: "They alternated between roundabout harassment and friendly negotiations, to the extent that they were not seen as having an intention to start war."
Yoshino: "Eh?"
Akihito: "Not very personable. I was just trying a bit of diplomacy."
Yoritomo: "You call that diplomacy?"
Yoritomo-sama casts a sharp gaze.
Yoritomo: "I've been trying to get Yoshino to explore the area around the Imperial Court more closely, especially since she was taken, hostage."
Yoritomo: "And I have a question?"
Akihito: "Sure."

Yoritomo: "Where did you Majesty acquire your political and especially your diplomatic guts and skill?"
-----Part 2-----
Yoritomo: "Where did you Majesty acquire your political and especially your diplomatic guts and skill?"
(You must be very competent since Yoritomo-sama says so)
Yoshitsune: "That was on my mind too."
Yoritomo: "Even though he had a period of government as emperor...."
Yoritomo: "I'm aware that under the House of Representatives, you didn't have the opportunity to show your political skills to that extent."
Akihito: "Hmm. And it took a wide variety of means for me to be 'resurrected' and take real power in the Imperial Court."
Akihito: "I think a lot of it was acquired through practice. And then there were some mentors with bad hobbies."
(Mentors?)
Following Akihito-sama's gaze, everyone's attention is drawn to a certain man.
Ibuki: "What?"
Akihito: "Seducing and corrupting people....sometimes ruthlessly intimidate them and bend them to their will."
Akihito: "Isn't it useful to have a demon like him around?"
(What Ibuki usually does is a mystery....)
(Sometimes he often wander out of the compound and doesn't come back)
Ibuki: "I'm honoured."
Ibuki: "Without the seed of evil, no flower will bloom. Akihito had the talent to be a villain, to begin with."
Ibuki: "It's certainly interetsing and I've made light work of it, but...."
Yasuchika: "When Ibuki got carried away and even tried to teach him how to play in gambling house and brothels under the guise of social learning...."
Yasuchika: "I threatened to kill him."
Akihito: "That's happened, hasn't it?"
(...I can't imagine Akihito-sama going in and out of places like that at all)
Yoritomo: "----I see."
Yoshitsune: "At a moment's notice, I'm also curious..."
Yoshitsune: "Even unofficially, what was the point of calling us all the way here? Your Majesty"

Akihito: "Yeah. I'm just trying to look at it---a co-ordinated route."
Yoritomo and Yoshitsune: ".........!"
(Eh......?)
Even I stared at Akihito-sama's face in surprise.
Yoritomo: "That's a funny joke."
Yoshitsune: "What are you getting at?"
(Yoritomo-sama and Yoshitsune-sama have not believed in them at all)
Yasuchika-san and Ibuki were probably told beforehand and did not seem surprised.
Akihito: "I know I'm to be doubted, but unfortunately I meant it."
Akihito: "It's thanks to Yoshino. It's her who made me think this way."
-----Part 3-----
Akihito: "I know I'm not to be doubted, but unfortunately I meant it."
Akihito: "It's thanks to Yoshino. It's her who made me think this way."
Yoshino: "....!? Me...?"
Our eyes met and I blushed.

Akihito: "Somewhare along the way, as I interacted with you, I began to explore other possibilities than the one I'm choosing now."
Akihito: "At the same time, I also received recommendations from Yasuchika."
Yasuchika: "I didn't make that drastic of a proposal though."
Yasuchika: "I felt that there might be a way out of the hard-line now, so I just discussed it openly with him."
(Yasuchika-san....you really work for Akihito-sama)
Yoritomo and Yoshitsune: "......."
Both of them then looked at me at the same time.
Yoritomo: "Yoshino, you..."
Yoshino: "Y-Yes!"
Yoritomo: "I've always thought you're a timid, straightforward, and brave woman. But isn't it a bit overkill to seduce his Majesty?"
(Seduce!?)
Yoshino: "Don't blame me! I did nothing!"
Akihito: "Actually you're right. I was the one who got attracted to her."
(Akihito-sama is not helping at all....)
While I was fidgeting, Yoshitsune-sama looks at me with a serious face.

Yoshitsune: "Does that mean Yoshino is the biggest threat?"
Yoshino: "Of course not!"
..................
----Informal meeting were held on several occasions since then.
Of course, discussions between the three parties with different principles don't always seem to go smoothly...
Nevertheless, Akihito-sama continued to invite them in.
Then one night...
Yoshino: "Thank you for you hard work, Akihito-sama."
Akihito: "....! Yoshino, why are you here at this hour?"
Akihito-sama, who was processing documents in the King's throne, looked slightly surprised.
Yoshino: "Yasuchika-san asked me to. He wanted me to bring you back to your room."
Yoshino: "Ibuki led me here and disappeared again."
(....Sometimes, I almost forget that I'm a hostage)
Akihito: "Yasuchika knew that I cannot refuse you, maybe that's why."
----Part 4----
Akihito: "Yasuchika knew that I cannot refuse you, maybe that's why."
Yoshino: "Yasuchika-san is worried about you. You have been so focused on your work lately."
To consider a co-ordinated line with the Shogunate and the Rebels.
Akihito-sama is said to have a hand in various negotiations, both inside and outside the capital.
Akihito: "Yoshino, why don't we have a little chat before you leave? Have a seat if you want."
Yoshino: "Yes."
When I sat upright in front of Akihito-sama, I looked at him.
Akihito: "I wouldn't mind if you call me behind the bamboo blind like you did the other day."
-----Options-----
Don't tease me...
That won't be necessary..
Akihito-sama was the one (+4/+4)
----------
Yoshino: "That was Akihito-sama. You were the one who pulled me in, remember....?"
Akihito: "But you enjoyed it too."
(But....)
Akihito-sama smiled.
I regained my composure and opened my mouth.
Yoshino: "Also, thank you."
Akihito: "Hm?"
Yoshino: "Akihito-sama had his own path to follow, but he sought a different future for us."
(I'm glad I got the chance to tell you, because it's just the right time)
Akihito: "I'm a little troubled by the thank yous. We're still nowhere near where the talks have landed."
Akihito: "Like Yoritomo and Yoshitsune, I haven't abandoned my ideology."
Akihito: "It doesn't mean I won't end up parting ways and choosing a future that fulfills my wishes again."
Yoshino: "I know....But still, I'm happy."
(It is important to know that we were able to change Akihito-sama, even if only a little)
Looking at me as I tried my best to tell him, Akihito-sama raised his eyebrows a little wistfully.

Akihito: "----Thank you."
Akihito: "I'm aware that I've been taking it pretty hard on Yasuchika---"
Akihito: "I also want to find out how much I can go."
Akihito: "I only wanted him to be happy, but I dragged him down the path I was going down."
(Yascuhika-san and Akihito-sama are always worried about each other)
I sincerely hope that their awkward bond would be rewarded.
Akihito: "Hey, Yoshino. Don't you want to know my true desire?"
----Part 5----
Akihito: "Hey, Yoshino. Don't you want to know my true desire?"
Yoshino: "----Yes."
I remember the day I last played with Akihito-sama.
(....At that time, I lost because he said 'I love you' out of nowhere and my mind went blank)
-----FLASHBACK------
Akihito: "As for 'my true desire', we'll talk about that some other time."
Akihito: "I've got a lot to think about at the moment, can you give me some time?"
-----FLASHBACK ENDS-----
(A lot of things to think about....could it be..)
I ask him.
Yoshino: "Did you have the idea of a co-ordinated route in mind from then on?"
Akihito: "I really only had it in the back of my mind."
Akihito: "After that, I started planning it in earnest, partly because Yasuchika gave me a push."
(I had no idea about that)
Yoshino: "Akihito-sama, you keep surprising me with your coolness."
I look up at him with a pout and he gives me his beautiful smile.
Akihito: "Don't think it just looks that way to Yoshino."
Akihito: "In fact, it's me who always gets disturbed when I'm with you with you."
Yoshino: "What...?"
Akihito: "You don't have to be suspicious."
Akihito: "What I told you is true. Because of you, I was able to confess for the first time in my life."
Yoshino: "That's....."
I could feel my ears slowly turning red.
(Assuming he meant it.....)
(I wonder what Akihito-sama wants to do with me)
(......Does he not want us to be a couple?)
Until recently we were enemies, so I wasn't allowed to think about such things.
(Huh? But if we could go the cooperative route, the only...barrier we have is Akihito-sama's immortality.)
(...No, it's a ridiculous story because we're too different in status to begin with)
Akihito: "What happened? You're spacing out?"
The moment our eyes meet, my heart pounds.
I stuttered and looked for a topic to talk about.
Yoshino: "Umm..Ah..."
Yoshino: "Yes! Akihito-sama's true desire. Can you tell me now?"
Akihito: "Okay. I'll say it if you want to know."
(I finally get to know what you always wanted....!)
Yoshino: "----Thank you!"
I settled down, got ready, and turned to Akihito-sama.
Akihito: "Then let's start with a review of the relationship between the Imperial Court and the samurai."

안녕하세요 팔로워들~
[TLDR]
This is just a short announcement to the people who follow/learn from my posts. Thank you and I know I have been inactive the past month. Maybe you don't even care, but I'm planning to start posting again very soon😅 (might be next week, could be at the start of May.)
[You don't have to read this part...]
Maybe even as soon as tomorrow. I honestly love tumblr, and I will be more active starting either next week or the week after (May). I have like 5 other social media platforms that I try to post on, so sometimes Tumblr ends up getting neglected.
I always say to myself that 'I love Tumblr, but Tumblr does not love me back' lol😂 so that's why I usually end up convincing myself sometimes that I should just not post, when I know I actually really want to. Tumblr has been, without a doubt, one of the hardest platforms of all the other ones I make content for (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, My Website, Etc.) to grow an audience on. Humbling😌
Although I am proud of the, I believe a little over 1500-1600 followers I have here. I know followers on Tumblr are a little different than other media. I don't really care about the amount of followers on any social media, but it's easy to get caught up in the numbers. Sorry for rambling, It's just a roundabout way of saying I should be making posts for those 100 or so people who often learn with my tumblr posts and really like them. But sometimes I forget and get stuck on the numbers and then I think why am I even posting here🥲Anyways, just my brain doing its thing.
I want to make a masterlist for all my posts to make them easier to go through, but I'm kind of a boomer when it comes to Tumblr🤣 I'll try though guys I swear!
If you use other social media besides Tumblr and want to check it out - here you go. I (have different types of content on all of them)

Hi, I'm the guy who used to run @re8mybeloved!! I was checking your blog to see how things had changed, and you CAN'T IMAGINE how loudly I squealed at Kingmaker!!! Seeing how far Colette has come since you first created her has been such a delightful surprise, oh my goodness!!! IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, there was this massive rush of nostalgia, even though it wasn't that long ago? I haven't been able to stop grinning sbdbsdbsbdbsd you've made me miss Alouette and Elias, how dare you!! Sorry this is a bit of an odd ask and I'm kinda rambling off-topic, BUT I just wanted to say : thank you for helping to make my short summer in the RE8 fandom such a blast, I'm BEYOND excited for Kingmaker, and I wish you all the best!!
The JOY that I feel seeing you in my inbox omg. I'm so glad you're still hanging around and I'm so happy that you're getting excited for Kingmaker. And I totally get the nostalgic feeling- this past couple years have felt like a decade lmao XD.
I'm sure you're sick of hearing this but I miss your posts! You were so instrumental in my fleshing out what the Duke was about when I started writing him so in a roundabout way? I have you to think for Telesphore's characterisation. So thank you.

That's not true, atleast not in canon, when he sees france is truly down about his new uniform he shown real worry and even America when he's down after being dismissed by African citizens, he cares and he acts, his acts are rejected inboth the cases because he's not exactly in good terms with either of them yet but that hasn't stopped Jim from showing worry. And it continues in modern world too.
I know HC mean making stuff up but do you have a reason for believing this way
Hi and thanks for the questions.
I have already partially addressed this in a reblog of that post [x], which I have since deleted because you guys are right – I did go overboard compared to what I actually meant to say. I'm sorry about this, I was half-asleep and posted that without thinking too much. I don't think England is unkind or callous at all. I do think he may come across this way at times, though.
Regarding the last point, there’s an important clarification to be made: coming across as something doesn’t mean truly being like that. England cares a lot and he has a big heart, I’ve never claimed the contrary. All I was trying to say was that he has trouble expressing it.
Furthermore, I should mention that my headcanons aren't meant to be taken as absolute. You can't encapsulate the entirety of a character in a few lines, they're much too complex for that. When I write such a short headcanon, it's only about one aspect of a character. In England's case, this is even more important than it is for other characters. I see England almost like an onion: there are many layers to him and to how he behaves, and his behaviour changes a lot depending on the situation and how uncomfortable he is.
Now, let me reiterate one thing: England is kind. In a neutral situation, when there's nothing he particularly cares about at stake, he has no trouble being kind and attentive. In spite of this, England is also extremely insecure – an insecurity born out of many rejections and bad experiences. Due to this, I think England may have trouble expressing himself and his true nature in situations that are more emotionally loaded. On one hand, he'd like to – on the other hand, the fear of rejection holds him back.
This doesn't mean England never intervenes. I never actually meant that (but definitely came across too strongly in the post) because he does when he cares about people and he thinks they're upset – but I do think it's extra hard for him, and it may make him come across as harsher than he means to. Even the situations you mention can lead to this: as you said, England was kind – only for his actions to be misinterpreted and overlooked. After these multiple experiences, don’t you think it would be harder for England to keep trying? I don’t think it would be far-fetched. Moreover, his confidence has been shaken more and more over the years, which I think would make him more hesitant to intervene.
England has also being called ‘a tsundere’ by Himaruya himself, which was also shown in several snippets: even when he’s being kind, if he’s feeling vulnerable he becomes flustered and acts in a sort of roundabout way that can make him come across as harsher than he means to. Once again, the key-word is ‘come across’. England isn’t like that, but he does tend to act in a way that portrays his character as worse than it actually is.
That being said, I acknowledge that I definitely went too far and worded that speculation of mine too harshly. It’s true that England does intervene, at last. Still, I do think it takes a lot out of him.
Lastly, there’s another point I’d like to address because I think that one ruffled some feathers and might have been a reason behind some harsh answers I got: I do not think Canada is, overall, a better person than England. The reason I made that comparison is that Canada and England share similarly severe self-esteem issues. However, Canada is younger and more naive than England – and, more importantly, other personifications are much kinder with him than they generally are with England. I’m simplifying a lot here, but as a result, Canada developed a positive mindset whereas England turned to pessimism in order to protect himself from the disappointment. I’m of the opinion this can also make Canada more likely to act even though he’s internally second-guessing himself just as hard as England is – but Canada hasn’t faced the same kind of rejection, which does make an impact.
I hope my point makes sense now! And thanks for correcting me.
#hetalia#hetalia headcanon#aph england#aph canada#feyna answers#feyna talks about hetalia#feyna's headcanon#anonymous#thanks for stopping by!#also no headcanons don't mean making up stuff out of nowhere#in order to be a headcanon it should be canon-compliant or at least plausible#of course than people can disagree but that's another point#in this case you thought what I said went against canon so you were completely right to point it out#but it's a weird point to make because if you'd really believe that headcanon is simply making up stuff#you'd have no right to complain about what I say?
