Diabolik lovers headcanons pt. 3 (even more stuff)

Hi, it's been a while, no? Even though I feel a bit like I'm screaming into an empty void, I do enjoy writing my thoughts down.

The Diabolik Lovers fandom gets smaller and smaller and since just a few blogs are active, I wanted to post more! I know that without Rejet producing more content (that is canon and not "just" new merchlines, even though I deeply love the art), the dl fandom is bound to shrink. But: now, there are a lot of very respectful blogs, which I do enjoy! The toxicity just shrinks a lot on smaller fandoms. And I really love that no slander of Yui is happening!

Now, lets get into the headcanons after my short ramble.

I won't write anything nsfw this time, just a quick psa.

⚠ I'll try to mark anything that could be triggering with this: ❗trigger warning ❗

⚠This post will briefly discuss topics like: parental trauma and childhood trauma.⚠

The topics in this post will be mostly happy or cute (?), asks are always appreciated!

As always, I'll try to be at least a bit true to canon. But... Well.

this time I did not just ramble about Kanato, I think I talked about Laito quite a bit though...

Headcanons under the cut ⬇

First of all: Shu.

Genuinely loves dogs (remember the scene with Yuma? The little puppy? Yes.)

All fluffy dogs are loved, just as all other dogs.

Loveslovesloves Golden retrievers and sheperd dogs. Likes big dogs a bit more than small dogs, more to hug.

Deeply hates toads. Not frogs, toads. He thinks they're quite ugly and hates how big they can get

Shu is Not dumb but being a little fuck by not-obeying-karlheinz's-orders-like-being-good-in-school

Has only socks with terrible obnoxious patterns, like the weirdest psychedelic shit? I'm talking about rainbow colored mushrooms on sunyellow backdrop and comical faces. (Ngl, it's a vibe)

Huuuuge crush on Yuma. He likes his long hair and the fact that Yuma doesn't try to lie to him. Shu likes honest people and Yuma with his blunt approach is amazing for him. Also, he is convinced that Yuma is very simple to understand, nit at all complicated like some other people.

Next in Line is Reiji! What a surprise.

Has a huge collection of Hand cream and lotion. He has those long, slim fingers and his nails are manicured so impeccable that they don't even look real anymore.

Wears only black socks. Its a hassle to sort them since some of them have different lengths or fabrics

Has pet rats. Definitely pet rats.

They're cute and all but he's named ever single one outrageous names like Berthold and Brunhilde, the typical old german names you'd read in very old books.

Reiji Is able to speak not only german, japanese and the demon language but can also speak latin (even though shu is on a much higher level), a bit of French and russian.

Would be the type to do things simply out of sprite. Shu once mentioned not liking blue curtains and now all curtains are blue.

Has an academic rivalry with Ruki. All the other students (including Ruki) think they're flirting, only Reiji is oblivious.

Next: our boy Ayato!

Hates bees with a passion.

Kanato once "gifted" him a box of bees out of spite (the little shit put the whole bee hive in that box), ever since then Ayato runs as soon as humming from a bee can be heard in a ten mile ratio. (Being outside is very exhausting for everyone, himself included)

Very much enjoys shows like Brigderton and say yes to the dress. Loves the drama and the intrigue.

Ayato actually? Doesn't hate his brothers??? He likes to bicker with them, especially his other triplets, but genuinely cares about them. He's just a bit too emotionally stunted on that front (thank you cordelia).

Likes not only takoyaki but also any type of japanese festival food. I'm talking about mochi, dango and tayaki, etc.

the type to have lactose intolerance and ignore it completely to seem "cool"

went on an ice cream date with Yui once and spent the entire night in the bathroom because he was too proud to say no

Actually wears makeup? I'm not talking about full-on glam but a bit concealer and eyeliner. Ayato has red mascara and omfg he looks so good with it???

Laito and he enjoy playing those multiplayer games for nintendo

He has an entire village on animal crossing that is managed by him and Laito together

Next in line: Kanato!

I have made quite long posts about him in the past so I wont elaborate on some things that I already wrote down.

Very skilled at makeup. Like top-level skill. Wears eyeliner, liptint or gloss and glitter under and on his eyes. Light blush is a must-have!

Can crochet and knit but is often too impatient to make bigger projects

Will hyperfocus on things like historical fashion and garments for weeks at a time.

Once was so focused on the black plague that he didn't drink blood for like five weeks and passed out until he was fed some blood

Gremlin.

Has a friendship with Yuma? They plant plants together and since Kanato (canonically) likes apples, Yuma will bring him some after plucking.

Kanato enjoys tea time with Reiji

Kanato also likes to gossip with Laito. Or more like: Laito gossips and Kanato sits next to him and munches on some sweets.

Huge crush on Azusa. (I went into more detail on that in earlier posts but I'll answer any questions on that matter! Feel free to send me asks or prompts!)

He and Ayato have both the same interest for old fairy tales and will read them together on those nights were everything just comes up again

❗Laito will comfort him when Kanato has nightmares and Kanato will be there for Laito, since they went through a bit if the same things even though Laito's was much more intense

Cuddle time with Shu

Quiet time with Subaru

Now Laito!

Can speak a fuckton of languages.

I don't care if its canon but Laito is like B2 Level of French. Is able to discuss theological matters is perfect french.

Can also speak italian like all the triplets but he's also able to speak a bit german, polish and romanian

Friends with Kou! ❗They're really good ffriends and can understand what the other went though. Laito stays often over night at Kou's and they spend the night watching funny movies (Deadpool is Laitos current favourite)

Laito enjoys comics. He likes Marvel and DC a lot!

We know that Laito likes crossword puzzles but like. He's so good at them it's almost frightening. Is able to not only do japanese ones but also french.

So intelligent???

Not only booksmart but also "people smart". He notices the smallest things on people around him, constantly analizes everyone. Knows a lot about medicine and psychology.

Loves learning new things.

Has immense knowledge about the universe, is able to name every single star sign on the sky.

in the games we often see Laito wear casual clothing. My headcanon is that he likes the sort of style skaters usually wear.

Really likes cargo pants since everything fits in all of the pockets

Wears oversized hoodies and shirts

Has those two piercings on his left earlobe but also has a lip piercing on the right lower lip and a septum that he got when he was bored

As soon as he's alone, he let's the perverted fassade fall down. He doesn't smile a lot actually, more along the lines of a serious face most of the time.

It took a bit for him to be able to drop that fake face of his in front of Kou and his other triplets but after some time he got used to not fake being friendly and perverted.

Dropped the infamous "bitch-chan" after some time, now uses Yui's actual name. The -chan stayed though.

Last but not least: Subaru!

has very soft plushies in his coffin

Loves those tiny fluffy bunnies. Lionheads especially!

Very gentle with animals.

Animals love him (#disneyprincesssubaru)

once tried to color his hair, it went horrible and his hair was a patchy muddy color for eight weeks

Wears eyeliner. The black, brush-tip ones

Long eyelashes. They genuinely look fake.

So pretty

Is naturally more fair and frail-looking than some other vampires so he tries to roughen himself up

❗Bruises his knuckles and bites his lips to look more dangerous. Even though the scowl he usually wears is more than enough to ward off anyone who wants to pick a fight...

Also friends with Kou (Kou really collects Sakamakis like pokemons)

Wears black nail polish but it chips off pretty fast due to the gardening Subaru does

Bonding time with Kanato is applying nail polish together

Enjoys playing pool and darts with Shu when his older brother has enough motivation

Knows he is fucked up from all the stuff with his mother and wouldn't be opposed to therapy (at least after some sweet talk from Yui... And a whole lot of promises for new seeds for his garden and a new set of black clothes)

Has a motor bike and it's his entire pride

Polishes it every week and has a lot of clothes for biking

Takes trips to somewhere when he's bored and/or annoyed by his other brothers

does not realize that Kou flirts with him every time they do something together (obliviousness lies in the family)

So! That's it? I guess? Sometime in the future I'll write about the Mukamis too, I promise!

If there's anything you'd like me to write about, just send me an ask.

And to whoever reads this: I appreciate the time you took to read my post and I hope you have an amazing day/night !

you are truly appreciated!

I JUST REALISED.

That thing Akira's doing? Where he's all "I can do this, just watch me" and pushes on things, goes "don't mind if I do/bottoms up" and downs the foul medicine she concocted in her Rank 1 in one go?

It's the EXACT SAME THING that we make fun of Akechi for! When he makes the pancakes comment and presumably tries to rub it in their faces that he's onto them (without realising it's backfired), when he takes the takoyaki and thinks "power move" only to have it burn him (literally).

Akira LITERALLY has the same sort of reaction but worse to Takemi's "medicine" as Akechi does to the Russian Roulette Takoyaki.

And for the same reasons.

They're both being hardasses who think they can handle more than they actually can.

When Akechi says "we're similar" he's not just talking about the rage against society. I bet they can both see this foolhardy "welcome to jackass" attitude that they're trying and failing to pretend they don't have in each other.

Takes one to know one, after all.

[reminiscentbelle]

Rejet recently did a public fan voting for their characters for their 10th anniversary with specific prompts on their website here. I thought I'd share where each of our Dear Vocalist boys ended up!

[* Using a translation app so translations may be inaccurate]

[* Indents are fan comments! They are only included for the top ten]

Guy you'd like to have as a boyfriend

Reo: 6th

Because he is very stoic at work, always aiming high, strict with himself and the members, and charismatic, but in front of her, he is a cute boyfriend, and the gap between the two is irresistible. He is serious about music, but kind and caring to her at all times. He is cute when he is in front of his cat and strawberry shortcake. His singing voice is superbly handsome. His face is also very handsome. He is the best of handsome men.

A': 9th

Because I love CR's youngest genius and handsome vocalist the most in the world. Because I believe he will continue to make me happy by being crazy and not boring me everyday. Because I want to make out with A-tan, an Everest level crazy & special vocalist, forever and ever in the future. [yeah idk either LMAOOO]

Momochi: 19th

Judah: 30th

2You: 35th

Joshua: 40th [robbed btw]

Who do you want to cook with the most?

none of them got into top ten LMAOOOO

A': 13th

Reo: 16th

Judah: 17th

2U: 20th

Joshua: 42nd [ROBBED AGAIN]

Who heals you when you feel tired?

Reo: 12th

A': 17th

Joshua: 31st

MMC: 44th

MMC top 50 and not Judah I actually shed a tear

Someone who will suddenly start singing

Judah: 4th

He is the only one. Inspired by the sounds of everyday life, he seems to compose and sing on the spot. There's no way someone who suddenly starts composing music and saying things like "it suddenly came to me" won't suddenly start singing!

A': 5th

At first I thought I was humming along, but then I started to enjoy the song and I think I'm going to sing it with all my might. I want them to suddenly start singing in the streets and do some guerrilla live performances!

MMC: 31st [this is such a big jump omfg]

RUSSIAN TAKOYAKI TAKE 2--

[landofzero-archive]

ES Fireworks Festival - Eve of the Fireworks Festival

Writer: Happy Elements Kabushikigaisha

Season: ☆

Nagisa: ……Eh. It should be about time to meet, but it seems like not everyone is here yet.

Shu: Hm, I wasn’t ever expecting that savage to be on time. Even so, it’s rare for Hinata-kun to not be arriving on time.

Hinata: Hah, haah……! I’m sorry for being late!

Rinne: Chee~~se ♪ Rinne-kun’s homemade Russian takoyaki has arrived!

Nagisa: …… Takoyaki? Are they freshly made? They look delicious.

Shu: By some chance, are you late because you were making these?

Hinata: Ahaha…… I was thinking of setting up a stall for the Fireworks Festival and ended up getting too excited.

How about trying one, my seniors? They’re hot and delicious~♪

Nagisa: ...... You gave this to me right as my stomach was starting to feel empty. Won’t you eat too, Shu-kun?  Shu: Honestly, you can’t be helped…… However, it’ll be bad to waste valuable ingredients. I’ll cooperate with consuming it.

Rinne: By~ the way, what’s the meetin’ for todaay? Won’t it be much better to put this boring meeting aside, puuut it aside, and just enjoy the party for the eve of the festival?

Nagisa: The truth is, Ibara entrusted me with this drone. We were talking about using it in the Fireworks Festival. So I’m asking for advice on what to do with it. 

Shu: Ah…… I feel like Kagehira had shown me a video of cargo being carried by drones some time ago. Though I think that’s quite difficult to apply to a fireworks display?

Rinne: Oy oy, if we’re talking about drones, it’s gotta be all about flashy aerial photography! I saw a video a while back that made it look like you’re inside the fireworks.

Hinata: In that case, it might be interesting to match the visuals with commentary!

Nagisa: ...... I’ll ask Ibara if we could make that happen. Fufu, I’m excited to see what sort of visuals we could get.

[fatexbound]

Anon said: Who can handle spicy food the best and would they survive on hot ones?

I'm gonna mention P5 muses to make it easier:

Ann: She can handle it, but not like putting hot sauce in her food. Curry is fine and mild.

Ryuji: I think he'd have the highest tolerance out of all of them, so he can handle a hot one. Not like the Russian Roulette takoyaki failure named Akechi.

Makoto: Her tolerance is up there, but she can't handle really hot stuff.

Haru: Her palette is... more refined, to put it simply. I wouldn't put it past her to try something really spicy, though.

Futaba: She does it for the vine and to prove a point. Her tolerance is up there with Ryuji's and she's not ashamed to admit it.

Manga Review: 'My Dress-Up Darling' #8

My Dress-Up Darling #8 by Shinichi Fukuda, Taylor Engel

comedy

coming of age

cosplay

romance

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wakana may be stressing another cosplay extravaganza, but the guy has finally internalized the essential nature of collaborative work: ask for help; rely on others; express thanks; give it your all; and don't be surprised if, in the end, everyone wants to throw a huge party to celebrate. MY DRESS-UP DARLING v8 is an entertaining volume for numerous reasons, but at the manga's heart, Wakana Gojo's growth takes precedent.

Marin's school-approved cosplay as a leading character from a popular shoujo manga for the culture festival will probably cave the ceiling. But before that, Wakana has to apply some modifications to the suit, Marin needs to finalize a few details regarding costume underclothes and her posturing, and the class's food stand for "Russian Roulette Takoyaki" needs to pull its own weight. Class 1-5 is extraordinarily busy.

MY DRESS-UP DARLING v8 excels in that it deliberately expands Wakana's view of what makes good friends fundamental to good partnerships. Does the young man struggle to assemble a clothing addendum all on his lonesome? Or, in contrast, does he ask his classmates for help, using someone else's knowledge and intuition to build a better cosplay experience?

It's not easy. It's never been easy. Especially for a kid who only knows how to do things on his own. But that's part of the manga's thematic charm (and wish-fulfillment): Good people (if you can find them) will do anything to help you succeed. And so, Wakana asks a self-confident male cohort to serve as a model on which Marin can base her character's movements; he thanks a female student who shows him how to assemble a rainbow rose on a budget; and he owns up to the responsibility of fulfilling the duties assigned to him (if at the behest of a doe-eyed Marin).

The author and the creative team also deserve kudos for more earnestly filling in the gaps of the manga's secondary cast. Readers shouldn't have had to wade through eight volumes and 1,600 pages to learn the full names of Wakana and Marin's classmates. Regardless, it's good to put given and family names to many of these personalities.

Perhaps it's only appropriate that these characters' names appear in full in the volume in which Wakana seeks to thank them personally, but the information is nonetheless overdue.

The manga's art has also shifted toward simplicity. Female characters still have shimmery eyes and long and dramatic eyelashes. Marin's cosplay scenes are still given full-page focus. Wakana continues to sweat bullets when he's on the clock. However, in terms of page composition and panel utility, MY DRESS-UP DARLING v8 wields a simple but steadfastly effective approach. The creative team is much better (more efficient) at guiding the eye, for example, during soliloquies. And when multiple characters speak (in the same panel), the character blocking and bubble arrangement never conflict. Very few manga pull this off consistently, and it's a real treat to see this happen, especially in such a compelling and entertaining volume.

About some HSA School Facilities

So what kinda food does the HSA cafeteria have and what is the main thing?

Given its a very advanced Technology school and many Talerenea members help out, often its a basic menu of things that cater to Vegans, Vegetarians, Allergie friendly, Glutenfree and just simple everything is covered with the basic menu…

Each week there is a few specialty dishes, maybe from another culture, maybe some sort of theme, On halloween there is like Spider cupcakes or something… The Basic HSA menu already covers over 50 different dishes, the school is huge so there is often like many people at once taking orders and working in the kitchen, Angelica is just the head of the this group and mainly in charge.

So each day is busy in the HSA cafeteria.

About some of the the HSA specialty dishes:

New Years: Fortune teller cookies and a big golden pig shaped dessert Amore wings day: Butterfly cake and cakepops Springs beginning: Sakura Mochi and Sakura Onigiri April fools: Russian Roulette Takoyaki Easter: Omelette of beginnings, many boiled egg dishes Summer time: Tropical Ice cream parfait, Big bang burger challenge Autumn: Pumpkin pie with Carrot juice Halloween: Spider cupcakes, skeleton candy, bleeding cake and ghostly cakepops Winter: Snowmountain cake and Snowman ice cream Christmas: Baked apple cake, Bûche de Noël, Santa hat cupcakes

About the HSA Gym: -Lots of things are already technology locked. Aka use your gem again. Your own personal lockers for your stuff and everything will be set and Psynched up with it, so only you can open your locker -Teachers often only 1 or 2 are present hence their room is so small -there is a pool too for the swimming club and general lessons -The showers are locked as well automatically after entering and open once you press a switch inside the place -often there is enough showers so 25 people can shower at the same time, -Girls and boys dressing rooms are not locked to Cis-Gender, but also as what you identify as, I was unsure about making an extra one but I had no idea what would be better.

Actually HSA infirmary facts: -Beatrice doesn't really do her Job alone, on Occasion some students help out Volunteering as well as Pherea to fetch her stuff, she may only look pretty but Beatrice with her old age and observer powers is quick to find the pain and find spells to mend it quick -There is enough beds to house a whole 3 classes of students, yets still some prefer to stay in their dorm room… if so she has the allowance to get into the dorm despite the whole old rules, cause this is an emergency -Angelica who is close with Beatrice also has a professional doctor as friend if things go that far that someone has to go to an actual hospital, but that is rarely the case cause most can be fixed on its own -Beatrice is kind and Caring to most students but people like Greg who get into fights for unessesary reasons might get the worse tasting medicine or a bit more of a menacing aura from her -Its mostly full on Combat tournament days aside that many also rely on the Exodus dorm as well, but in all some students like Kome or Eleafy are daily people who come for medicines and all

His Lovely Rose - Chapter 6: A Good Time

Previous. . . . Next Chapter. . . .

——————————————————————————

"Hey, how are ya?" Brier, Beerus, and Whis turned around to see who was speaking to them. It was a human man with long black hair, two scars on his otherwise handsome face, and he was wearing a white dress shirt, gray pants, and black shoes. "We're doing just fine. Who are you, good sir?" Brier asked nicely. "This is Yamcha." Bulma said, introducing them to her guest. "He's an old friend of mine." 

"Oh. Well it's nice to meet you, Sir Yamcha." "How do you do?" Brier and Beerus said, while Whis gave a simple nod to acknowledge him. "Aw come on, there's no need for you guys to be so polite!" Yamcha said, wrapping his arm around Beerus' shoulders. 'Goodness! He's either very brave or very stupid to be so casual with Beerus. . .' Brier thought, surprised. "Probably both, milady." Whis whispered.

Brier looked at the angel with a confused look and waited for an explanation. 

"You muttered that under your breath." Whis said quietly with his usual smile. "I did? Oh my, how careless of me." Brier replied. "Oh it's alright! I'm sure that-"

"-you know, I'm something of a martial artist." Brier and Whis heard Yamcha say, bringing them back to the conversation. "Is that right?" Beerus asked, intrigued. "Oh yeah! One of the best! So I understand if you're a little nervous, especially since your girlfriend is here." Yamcha told him. "But let's put aside ranks for now and enjoy the party bro!" he added, and then did something unexpected: he took his arm off Beerus' shoulders and gave him a friendly slap on the back. 

"!" 

"Beerus, are you alright?" Brier asked. "I'm fine." he told her. "Also, 'Yamcha' was it?" "Yeah. What?" Beerus looked at the mortal with slightly narrowed eyes and began to say, "For starters, Brier isn't my 'girlfriend'. She's my wife. And also-" 

"Hey guys! Sorry for the wait! Who's hungry?" someone shouted. Everyone looked to see, from what Brier remembered, a short man named 'Krillin' carrying a tray filled with small fried ball-shaped food covered in a brown sauce of some kind. "What's that?" Beerus asked. "Whis, do you know what this is?" "I'm afraid not. I've never seen this kind of food before." Whis answered. "Well it's a party special. . .Russian Roulette Takoyaki!!" Krillin revealed dramatically.

"Huh? What's that?" Beerus and Whis asked. "Well its-"

While the mortal named 'Krillin' explained what the food was and the rules of 'Russian Roulette Takoyaki', Brier looked at the assortment of food that was displayed before her. As interesting as the human food looked and smelled, Brier wasn't particularly hungry, so she politely excused herself from the group and walked away. 

As she walked, Brier began to wonder how Kero was doing. It had been awhile since she had last updated him on Beerus' quest to find the Super Saiyan God, so perhaps he'd be interested to know about their current situation. 'I don't want to cause a commotion in case the mortals aren't used to magic. I need to find a private place to contact Kero.' Brier thought to herself. She looked around the ship to find a quiet place where no one could see her talking with her familiar. The goddess then spotted an area that was filled with a variety of potted plants near the ships railing, which was a good distance away from the party goers. 

'It's not much, but I suppose that it'll do. I just have to keep my voice low.' Brier then walked towards the plants and hid behind them, making sure that no one could see her. 

After checking that the coast was clear, Brier used her hands to create a rune in the air, one that allowed her to use a nearby body of water to act as way for her to not only check on a person, but to also communicate with someone in their mind. Since they were in the middle of the ocean, Brier was able to use a very small amount of the salty water to create an orb of water that was currently facing her.

Brier opened her lips and muttered, "Kero, can you hear me?" 

Suddenly, Kero's image appeared in the water. From the looks of it, he seemed to be washing the dishes back home, humming a little tune while doing so. "Kero?" Again, no response. "Kero!" "!" He looked around the kitchen to see who was talking to him. "My lady, is that you?" he asked. "Yes, it is." Brier replied. "I apologize for startling you. The reason you can't see me is because I'm using a spell to communicate with you telepathically at the moment." 

"Ah! I think I know which spell you're referring to." Kero responded. "Anyway, do you need anything, Lady Brier?" 

"Not really, but thank you for asking." Brier said. "I just wanted to check on you. Are you alright?" Kero looked surprised by the question. "Why do you look surprised? It's not the first time that I've done this, remember?" "It's not that, my lady." Kero said. "I just thought that Lord Beerus or Whis wanted me to make them both another meal or something like that." 

"Well, it's not that." Brier told him. "I can assure you that there's no need for that right now, so don't worry." "Alright then. And to answer your earlier question, I'm doing quite fine. It's not like I'm lonely or anything. After all, the Oracle Fish is keeping me company." Kero said. "Well, that's nice to hear." Brier responded. 

"Then-" "WOAH! That's so cool!" a young boyish voice interrupted. "!" Startled, Brier accidentally ended her conversation with Kero, allowing the orb to transform back into sea water and go back to the ocean. Brier turned around to see who it was that scared her. It was a group of young children that consisted of five boys and two girls. The first two boys varied in appearance.

The first one had short lavender colored hair, light blue eyes, and tanned skin. The other boy next to him had a shockingly striking appearance to Goku, having the same black hair, eyes, and face. Was he his son, perhaps? Most likely. But she put those thoughts away and looked at their friends. 

The three other boys had the most odd appearances that Brier had seen out of everyone else on the ship so far. One was simply a light blue colored imp-like being with pointed ears like hers, and was kind of dressed like a clown. The other seemed to be an anthropomorphic Shiba Inu dog that was dressed like a purple ninja.

The third and final boy resembled a doll and had white skin like her, but he had other features that she obviously didn't: such as red cheeks and the typical rounded ears that human Earthlings had. 

The two girls that are with them seemed to differ in age. The eldest girl had straight shiny jet black hair, light skin, dark eyes, and wore an olive green tunic-like attire with a light brown belt and boots. The girl next to her was considerably shorter due to her young age, although that made sense of course. Overall, the little girl had short platinum blonde hair, dark eyes, and she wore a cute purple-black dress, white stockings, and red flats. 

"O-Oh! Sorry Ma'am! We didn't mean to frighten you!" the black haired girl said. "Yeah we just wanted to say 'hi'. Are you ok?" the blonde girl asked. "I'm. . .I'm fine." Brier answered. Brier then heard one of them clear their throat. She thought nothing of it until they did it again, louder this time and directed at her. She looked down to see that it was from the boy with lavender colored hair who wore tropical themed clothing and had dark blue sunglasses.

"Yes, young man?" Brier asked. Now that her attention was on him, he bluntly asked, "Hey miss, what was that thing you just did?" "That. . .thing?" Brier repeated, confused. "Yeah! You know, that thing with the water!" the dark haired boy said. 'Ah. So it was his voice that I heard earlier.' Brier thought as she composed herself. "That was a. . .simple spell that I used to contact someone." she answered honestly. Might as well. It's not like she could lie.

"You can do magic?!" the blonde girl said, her eyes twinkling with delight. "Yes of course. Why?" Brier questioned. "Is that the only spell that you know?" the lavender haired boy asked. "Of course not. I know several others." Brier told him. "Really? Like what?" Brier smiled and said, "Instead of telling you, why don't I just show you all what I can do?" 

Before the kids could ask what she meant, Brier mumbled an enchantment of sorts, and was able to create glittering butterflies made from crimson light. Several of them fluttered around the group of children, causing most of the children, particularly the blonde girl and the dark haired boy.

And in the blink of an eye, Brier made the butterflies disappear and summoned a great portion of water to surround them all, allowing the mortal children to see several sea creatures up close, such as sea turtles, fish, and even dolphins! 

'Alright, I think that that's quite enough.' Brier thought to herself. And with the snap of her fingers, she returned the sea water and the sea creatures back to the ocean with no problem. Brier turned back to see everyone staring at her wide-eyed. "?" 'Oh no. Was that too much for them to handle?' 

"Woah! That was awesome!" the lavender haired boy exclaimed. "Right Goten?" he asked his dark haired friend. "Yeah Trunks, it really was!" the boy, Goten agreed. "What else can you do?"

Vegeta kept his eye on all of Bulma’s guests to see who he had to keep away from Beerus. The ones that were currently at the top of his list were Piccolo, Majin Buu, and Yamcha.

Piccolo would often speak too bluntly and could end up insulting the destroyer, Buu would eat everything in the area and make Beerus starve, and Yamcha didn’t know how to read the room properly. The Saiyan was also quick to remember Master Roshi. If he laid eyes on Beerus’ wife, he would surely make her uncomfortable with his perverted advances and upset both her and Beerus. Luckily for him, Master Roshi was too busy reading his dirty magazines to even know of Brier’s presence at the moment. 

‘Speaking of which, where is she?’ Vegeta wondered as he looked around. He thought about asking some of the guests to see if they had any idea. The first one he ended up seeing first was Yamcha, who was speaking with Chi-Chi and #18. "-anyway, so then I walked up to the guy and-" "Yamcha! Have you seen Beerus's wife?" Vegeta said, interrupting the long haired man. "Wife? Oh! You mean that total knock out that cat guy came with? I think I saw her with the kids or something." Yamcha told him. "Ha! I'm gonna be honest, I don't know how a guy like him ended up with a babe like that!" 

"Just call her pretty, Yamcha." #18 said, annoyed. "Yeah, also I'm sure that she wouldn't appreciate you calling her stuff like that." Chi-Chi agreed. "Oh come on! You guys make me sound like I'm as bad as Master Roshi!" "You're not, but just-" 

"Where are the children and Lady Brier?" Vegeta interrupted again. "They're near the swimming pool. Why?" #18 asked, but Vegeta ignored her as he walked away from the three. 

The Saiyan Prince walked around the ship to find the goddess where #18 and Yamcha said she'd be, and it didn’t take long for him to do so. Near the swimming pool, just like #18 said, was none other than Brier, who was currently sitting down on a soft chair with Trunks, Goten, Marron, Chiaotzu, and the three odd children sitting near her. She seemed to be telling stories of her interplanetary travels, since Vegeta heard Goten ask, “And then what happened on that planet?”

“Well, my husband ended up in the belly of the beast. So then he had to. . .”

‘At least she’s having a good time. And the children seem to like her as well.’ Vegeta thought to himself. ‘As long as they don’t do anything to upset her, then-’ And then the questions the children asked seemed to have gotten a little personal since Vegeta heard them ask things such as:

“So, who are you married to again?” Goten asked, curious. “I’m married to Beerus the Destroyer.” Brier answered. “Who’s that one?” Chiaotzu asked. “He’s the one who looks like a purple cat.” Brier replied. “Really?! Him? I thought that you were married to that guy with the staff! That pretty guy you were friendly with!” Vegeta heard his son, Trunks, exclaim loudly. "Yeah!" Goten agreed. "I thought that cat guy was just a friend you guys brought along!" 

‘Dammit! I swear those two don't know when to keep their mouths shut!’ Vegeta thought, hoping that Trunks and Goten didn’t offend her. Luckily, he didn’t since it appeared that Brier was more amused than offended. In fact Brier didn’t seem offended at all. She even let out a little laugh before replying with, “I know that it can be a bit surprising, but I really am. Although don't let him hear you say that, alright?” 

"Ok!" Everyone said, giving her a thumbs up. 

Brier then looked at Marron and asked, “Now what was your question, little one?” “Can you do that trick with the glowy butterflies again?” Marron asked her. Brier nodded and formed an orb of light in the palm of her hand that immediately transformed into glittering crimson butterflies the began to fly around the group. Several of them even landed on the childrens’ heads and noses, causing them to laugh since it most likely tickled them. 

Vegeta released a sigh from his lips, extremely relieved that Brier was still in a positive mood. 'Alright, now I just need to make sure that-'  “Excuse me, but I’m afraid that I’m needed elsewhere.” Vegeta heard Brier say. “Awww! Can’t you stay and tell us more stories?” Marron and Goten asked, both with sad looks on their adorable faces.

Brier softly smiled and replied with, “Well, as long as it doesn’t take too long, then I’ll be able to come back. Does that sound reasonable?” Everyone nodded their heads and waved goodbye as Brier left, a gesture she returned. 

'I need to follow her and make sure that nothing bad happens!' Vegeta thought as he proceeded to follow the goddess. 'Otherwise who'll know what these idiots will do that'll offend her or Beerus!'

AN: There's not that many GIFs of Beerus for me to choose from which is a bit of a bummer, but oh well, what can you do?

[haejjoon]

2/2 this, 11/20 this, the real question for your swap au is: will akiren end up embarrassing himself at the school festival like akechi did with the takoyaki or will it be all smooth at that point? :D

HELPHGKLDFHLKD he doesn't need the takoyaki moment since he's friends with The Gang at that point. in fact im gna have akechi still consume the russian one bc i love him and making him as pathetic as humanly possible is my passion

[tempenensis]

Hi! Do you have a translation of the audio where I think they eat Russian roulette takoyaki?

Hi, anon!

I didn't do the full version, but here's an excerpt of it

[persona5fantasy]

If you'll allow me to geek out for a quick second, I have another theory about why Akechi took the special takoyaki.

Because he didn't know it was special.

The glasses that Shido wears constantly are actually color-blind glasses, and red-green color blindness is one of the most common forms of it. Additionally, color blindness is genetic.

I believe that it was a subtle nod to Akechi's relation to Shido, seeing as how he was so caught off guard by the spice that he couldn't have known the takoyaki he chose was the special one in Russian roulette. He probably only chose it because it was on top and closest to him. In his eyes, I'd bet it looked the same as all the others because it was red.

Some new Akechi trivia

Last year, there was a P5R fanbook called Persona 5: Mementos Reports that was released in March 2021. In this fanbook, the P5 devs answered some interview questions. Some of the questions they answered are related to Goro Akechi.

So, this post is just going to highlight the Goro-related questions that the devs answered! 😊🥞

This image of Goro is also from the fanbook:

So Goro doesn’t keep a gun in his case lol. He usually puts school supplies, water, snacks, sweets, and cosmetics in there. Haha, I can imagine Goro applying cosmetics in the public bathrooms all the time to stay pretty.

It turns out that Goro chooses to wear argyle not because he likes it. He purposely did it for his Detective Prince image. He knows that Naoto wears argyle somehow and got inspiration from that.

Goro lives in a condo. A condo is like an apartment BUT you pay mortgage for it and own the property. So Goro owns a condo space at this young age?

I doubt that he bought it. According to Japanese law, you are not allowed to buy a home until you are 20. So I bet Shido bought and owned that condo space for Goro to live in as part of their deal.

Also… Goro only keeps a minimum amount of furniture in his condo. LOL I can only think of that “Male living space” meme. 😂 I like to joke that Goro’s condo look something like this: 

A bike designed for beginners? So Goro is not advanced at cycling yet huh? xD

So Goro can handle spicy food to an average extent. Due to his competitive nature, he probably did knew that he was going to eat the red takoyaki and tried to be a show off in front of the PTs lol

 Or maybe he was trying to impress his crush *coughs* Joker *coughs* but failed lol

Oh that’s interesting. The struggles of being left-handed 😔

OKAY GUYS ENOUGH OF THE “WHICH PERSONA COMES FIRST?” THEORIES!

The devs said that Akechi awakened both of his Personas at the SAME TIME. Damn that must have been REALLY painful. Probably the most painful awakening of them all. He must have felt his head splitting in two. 😭😭😭 Poor Goro, he can’t catch a break in his life.

————————

And that’s all of the Goro-related questions that the devs answered in that fanbook! Now you can go wild with this canon information lol.

[dragondemoness]

Bunny yup thanks guys well I’m can’t wait for the school festival soon as the festival comes they go to the takoyaki stand as they try the Russian roulette takoyaki

*One of the takoyaki in particular is completely red, not at all subtle about the surprise it holds. Soon, Akechi shows up and gives the group a friendly smile.*

Akechi: Hello, Dragon. Ren. So you're all together, j see.

[honeykaes]

Takoyaki are yummy! My friends and I even had a 'russian roulette' takoyaki. 6 takoyaki and one of them is filled with wasabi ✨

- Sigh

AHHHH I always wanted to do it haha!

Did you get the wasabi 👀 one?
