[controlaltdelete-my-existence]

even though I adore the ryokira kill god team up I also really love the breakup era. By this I mean amon ova specifically

[sukunas-wife]

Can I please get a Sukuna family scenario where maybe they see future Yuji... Maybe when he's all grown up. It's fine if you don't want to do it

Baby Yuji to Grown Yuji 😭😭 I’m not sure it’ll be good but yeah! I’ll try for you 🥺🤍

-

Yuji left the Palace when he turned 19, the way you cried when you held his face for the last time smothering him in kisses 🥹 He was your baby boy, your first child, sure his sister and brother were still in the house but you loved him deeply. He clung to your side more and never failed to run to your side in trouble. If Sukuna wasn’t there to dry your eyes, there was Yuji to hug you and tell you “It’ll be okay mom, we can fix it! We just gotta.. we gotta.. I don’t know but we’ll figure it out!” That bright smile he had since he was 2, it was the last time you’d see it for who knows how long. You sniffled feeling Megumi pressed himself into your side hugging you, you smiled rubbing his back when he buried his face into your stomach. Nobara was being fiesty saying “who’s gonna miss him anyways! It’s good he’s leaving he was so loud anyways! A real nuisance if anything.”

Still she started to tear up, Sukuna pulled her into his side. The tears fell freely while she held on tight to his shirt.

The house was quieter, as Megumi and Nobara bickered; it was never as lively as when Yuji was home. The years passed slowly before one morning Sukuna came in with Uraume, dropping into his throne you came to see him. He held his hand out to Uraume who gave him a letter, “This is for you.”

Confused, you took the letter, opened it and read it. Sukuna watched and panicked when you started to cry. He stood up coming over to you snatch the letter away to see who had told you what

“Hey mom

It’s Yuji, your favourite son :)

I just wanted to let you know I’ll be coming home soon. It’s been a long time but I think I’m ready! Tell dad to save a fight for me when I get home! I know I can take him now!

I hope this letter actually gets there, maybe I’ll get there first..

Oh! Will you make those sweet and savoury noodles I used to love? I tried but it always tasted burnt or rubbery. Don’t tell Gumi and Noba I’m coming home! I want it to be a surprise! But I should be home in time for the first day of winter. I miss the snowy hills. I can't imagine Megumi going out and messing with all the snow. He always hated the cold unless he changed. Let's go for a walk when I get back! I miss those milk buns and tea you used to make,

Make sure to tell dad I’ll be home so he better be there! He can’t run now.

Signed, your son Yuji”

Sukuna let out a hearty laugh, “Brat really thinks he can take his old man huh? I’ll prove to him he can’t.” The smirk on Sukuna’s face eased you, you smiled the last tears falling.. “Ryo.. What day is it?” He looked confused before Uraume spoke up, “it’s the first day of winter Lady Y/n.” Almost as if on Cue there was a knocking on the palace doors, Sukuna grinned before making his way to his throne gesturing you to get out the room, you didn’t want to because that’s your baby boy but you definitely wanted to have feel better noodles after he got out in his place by his dad. So you left, Megumi and Nobara were both respectively in their own rooms. Odds are Nobara was planning her attire for the festival the city held every year and Megumi.. well he’s probably resting after having trained with his father all day.

——

Sukuna motioned for Uraume to open the doors, they did.

“So Brat, you really think you can take me on now?” The smug look on Sukuna’s face almost faltered when he saw Yuji had similar markings to his own human form. Yuji smiled brightly, a feature Sukuna would’ve lacked if he wasn’t smiling as bright with how his son entered the room confident. “I think it’s time someone gave you a run for your money.” Yuji was confident, and that might have been his downfall, 7 years may have seemed like a long time. But for Sukuna those 7 years were a breeze. Yuji may have been off training but Sukuna had been training his own kids with their own unique techniques. Smacking his hands on the throne's arms, he stood up, “Uraume.” “Yes Lord Sukuna.” He quickly set up a barrier to the throne room.

“Alright Brat, I’ll go easy on you, I think you’ve forgotten who gave you your malevolent shrine.” Yuji laughed, “You gave it to me, but I perfected it.”

Yuji had indeed not perfected the Malevolent Shrine. Here he laid in an all too familiar position, face down in the red liquid blowing bubbles while his 3/400 pound dad sat on his back holding him in place critiquing him on his flaws. Explaining what he could do better, and how he could improve before he lifted his head, “Okay okay I get it, King of Curses geez cut me some slack I’m your son.” Sukuna laughed standing up off his son before offering a hand when Yuji sat up, his legs crossed, hand rubbing the back of his head. Opening his eyes he saw his dads stretch out, for a second he remembered that same when he fell into a pit of snow one winter and looking up he saw his dad stretching his hand out with an unamused expression that turned to a smirk when Yuji tried to shuffle away. He grabbed him by the back of his shirt pulling him up like he was nothing.

Yuji smiled with closed eyes, taking his dads hand, being pulled straight into a bone crushing hug. While Sukuna crushed him his domain disappeared, “Welcome Home Yuji.” Sukuna put him down, patting his shoulder with a heavy hand, Yuji standing rigid as he smiled, body shook slightly under the weight of his dads heavy pats. He was proud of his son's improvement, but overall he was glad to have his son back home.

Looking around Yuji asked “Where’s mom?” Sukuna’s head cocked to the side, “Your letter got here a few minutes before you did, when you knocked she went off to kitchen. I was doing her a favour by keeping you busy for so long. Yuji sniffed and his stomach growled, the savoury smell of his favourite food coming through the palace, “m hungry.”

Sukuna smiled, crossing his arms over his chest nodding with his head, “Let’s go find your mother then.”

——-

“Mom?” You smiled over your shoulder “Hey sweetie.” Megumi rested his head on your shoulder hugging you. He was watching how you were cutting spring onions. His stomach growled when he spoke up, “We haven’t had these noodles since Yuji was here, I thought you forgot how to make them..” he was looking at the bowls of savoury noodles steaming topped with sesame seeds. One, two, three, four, five… six? “You and Nobara never asked and when I did make em I had to force your dad finish the pot with me when you two made excuses not to eat.” You laughed lightly, bringing a hand up to rub his head.

He huffed through his nose, “It reminds us of him..” you turned to see the top of his head, cheek pressed against your shoulder. You started to sprinkle the spring onions over the middles, “You act like he’s dead Gumi,” kissing the top of his head, “Go get Nobara tell her she doesn’t have a choice. Drag her back if you have to.” He let out a curt laugh, “alright but if you hear her screaming.” You smiled nodding with your head, “Go Gumi.” He stretched standing back up straight, “I’ll be back then.”

Just as he left through the other door Yuji and Sukuna came in laughing from the opposite door. “So he was looking up at me with this ugly face. I almost felt bad for him but I told him “Know your place fool and shhhhk” Yuji made a slicing motion, Sukuna looked proud. “Mom!” Yuji’s face perked up when he saw you, he ran over to hug you “missed you…” For a second his voice was shaky and there was a crack in his resolve. You teared up hugging him back and not letting go. He leaned down and pressed his cheek against your shoulder, eyes closed, the same way he used to sleep on your shoulder as a kid. His grip didn’t loosen when you rubbed your hand up and down his back, “missed you too baby.” Sukuna behind Yuji’s back made a gagging motion before he looked over at the noodle bowl pulling on a noodle to eat. “Cmon I think your dads hungry and Gumi went to get Nobara.”

He didn’t move, he just hummed and you patted his back, “yuuu” you cooed at him before he stood up, “Alright, I’m starved! I’ll help take em out.” You swatted his hand away, “We don’t pay the kitchen help to just sit around. You go sit down.” The kitchen staff started to get everything ready, Sukuna pulled you into his side hugging you with both arms into his left side. “He looks so much like you Ryo…” Sukuna nodded chest puffing up, “Brat’s a damn menace too, wait till he tells you about what he did to a group or sorcerers who tried to wrongly attack him.”

You looked up at Sukuna worried, and he rolled his eyes, “That’s OUR son, I’ll be damned if I ever thought he couldn’t handle his own.”

He squeezed your shoulder nodding with his head, following his lead you both came to see Megumi and Nobara harassing Yuji. Megumi was ignoring him entirely facing away but you could see the soft smile. Nobara was pinching his cheeks forcefully, moving his face around and through it all Yuji was smiling brightly, his eyes closed, “I missed you both too.” Nobara looked shocked and she let him go, she looked away, “Yeah..” you didn’t miss how she closed her eyes with a smug smile.

AAside question thread

eos day 💀🎉

answering zevy's question thread here!

What was your first AAside 4*?

my beloved rio... i'd rerolled for hours trying to get a good starter account with him. this rio was THE card for me for the first half year; he was my unchanging oshi card that i always got to stare at while grinding anticlockwise <3 i didn't get to train him until the first 4 star select tickets were distributed, but even then i stuck to the untrained art because i was so in love with it 🥺

Which AAside 3* card art is your favorite? GIVE US A PIC

you will be hearing about him quite a bit in this thread

Which AAside 4* card art is your favorite? DROP THE PIC

hardest question of my fucken life but i'll show off the blazingly beautiful lrfes shu as ONE of my favorites:

there's so much happening!! the perspective, the pose, the expression, the lights, the stage, the scope and distance of the far background... it's a very ambitious and very successful piece of art and remains to be my favorite shu card =w=

What's your favorite AAside event story?

yume no ato, without question. not just because of the reiji (yes ok it was the reiji) but the story was so substantial for an event story to the point that my friend and i suspect it was originally intended to be a song story. i'd always wanted tadaomi to do something hurtful to reiji as a plot vehicle for us to learn more about reiji's past, and then that's exactly what happened!!! AND we got an adorable baby reiji art out of it!!! i could ask for nothing better (except to maybe make the event happen any later because tiering two events in a row was hell 👍)

Show us some of your favorite AAside costume combinations!

i like comboing the bday outfits with the wm flower brooch :)

What's your favorite AAside MV? Do you have any screenshots of your favorite scenes?

surprising no one, my fave mv is cynicaltic fakestar and i would post every single frame if i could. instead i'll just put this shot which is one of many that i feel perfectly normal about (yes reiji is smiling yes he is looking in shu's direction yes shu looks cute as hell)

Show us your AAside comfort team composition

my guys!

these've been my main dudes for most of the game's lifespan-- save for tadaomi, who used to be haruka until i splurged my savings after eos announcement and got a tada that was more powerful. it felt kind of fitting that i'd swapped out haruka around the time we learned he goes abroad... ^^'

yuto isn't anywhere near my top5, but i'd gotten his initial 4 star on my day one rerolls so he was a staple on my early-game team until promised diamond event, in which i got 3 copies of yuto while pulling for rio... the two of them have been invariably on my main team since then 😊

Do you have a favorite area convo?

gotta be ryo-reiji at the station. it's so fucking sad!!!!!! for no reason!!!!!!! and if you read kohei-reiji at the station first, it makes it seem like reiji's been waiting there for shu for hours... 😭 i'd once joked in poor taste to my friend that shu would finally arrive when eos is announced and That Sure Did Happen so congratulations on getting out of the rain, reiji

Who are some characters you wish would have little conversations in the next game?

i'm on my hands and knees please rio & shu Please. it was just a crack platonic pairing i wanted because they used to be my top2 fave boys but i still want it... and after all that's happened between argo and epsi i think it would just be incredibly funny

What's your favorite AAside character story?

hands down reiji cs5. still working on the translation with my dear vroom but i need you to know it's everything to me. tl;dr it's about mochi and shu puts a piece of mochi directly into reiji's mouth #Real #NotAHoax and i still haven't recovered

What's your favorite AAside card story?

prooobably gotta go with janus reiji; it just checks so many things on my list: the ruffled reiji, the mask theme, the shurei, the kanata pointing out the shurei, the comparisons between shurei and kanaharu, the tadaomi just bein' there, it's everything. it's also the first card story i ever tried translating by myself! thank u vroomie for helping me clean it up for public posting~

honorable mention to tadaomi's in the rain 3 star for having an absolutely adorable moment of peace between tada and reiji... can't understate how rare and fleeting it feels with the gentle music (which i could swear isn't used in any other epsi appearance in the entire game) and each of the boy's smiles... it's just lovely :)

You rolled one last time on the free banners on EOS day. The last character you pulled will spend the day with you. How's your day going?

i got misaking! twice!! i think i'd get along with him pretty well... we're both smart but also stupid as hell <3 we'd probably go hang out and eat somewhere, then head back to the sharehouse to play games maybe? i bet i could crush him in ssbu ^w^

Interactive pets yes?

whoever says no to this i just wanna talk. literally even if the limit of our interaction with the pets is "you tap on them and they just bark/meow/wiggle/etc" i would put down cold hard cash for it

Your AAside comfort song?

Surprising No One, cynicaltic fakestar. i just can't understate how much i love this song. loved it on debut, loved it before i was a reiji oshi, loved it even more after all the narrative context, and love it to death today. it's gonna be real hard to top this one ngl

"but steady!" you cry, "what about aaside?" yes aaside is still my forever and always favorite song but it's hard to call it a "comfort song" after everything the aaside name has been through recently lol... there's just a little too much history in this one for me to enjoy it simply

Show us some of your favorite tiering accomplishments!

don't mind if i do!

in the rain - #65 keep out boyz - #45 yume no ato - #39

Do you have a favorite multi-live moment?

i've had so many good ones but the only one i can remember rn is the time during lrfes 1st round where a 5 omakase vote went to zakuro and THREE PEOPLE DISCONNECTED so it was just me and one other homie by the end and we sent each other the yamato いい演奏だった stamp. i'll never forget you, p3 💛

Your favorite AAside birthday card/s!!

unintentional kenryo but i genuinely think these are the two best bday card arts

What AAside card did you want a WHOLE HECKING LOT.... Only to never get it :')

FUCKING!!! LRFES SHU!!!!! i could smell a reiji on the horizon (and i was RIGHT) so i couldn't afford to try pulling for him... and then due to Imminent Circumstances this shu ended up being the only shu 4 star that i don't have lollll

honorable mention to janus reiji who i want to crush into dust because while i did have a miracle happen (went broke in the prior event, scraped up only 2 pulls, and got one janus reiji on each of them) i somehow came to own a collection of every single maxed reiji card, including every one of his 4 stars, EXCEPT JANUS REIJI. my album is literally two 3 stars off from being 100%. it's eos day and i am out of navistones. i am in despair

Give us some good ol' AAside bugs

in the first week or so the game gave me a miss on autoplay. would post proof but my screenshots folder is nearing 8k strong and 90% of that is aaside

Which band sharehouse music do you vibe the most?

argo's! it's just really relaxing and charming. epsi's actually stresses me out so much that i started playing with non-live music off 😭

When and how did you start playing AAside?

immediately. not sure what the "how" means here but i will share that due to us not knowing the exact hour that aaside's servers would open, i had a hell of a day in terms of sleep since i'd gotten up at some ridiculous hour like 5am for the starting live and then took naps on and off throughout the day to power through to the following 1am when the servers finally let us in

Which AAside song do you want to have a full version of?

JANUSSSSSSSS good lord i'm so glad we're getting the albums this summer. janus took my soul hostage and has not even entertained the thought of negotiations since the event. other ones i'm looking forward to are as is あるがままで and egoistic才Φ

The character you first liked when you started playing VS the character you like right now. Did it change?

the question 4 me... i was a rio oshi when i walked into this fandom (anime airing era), pretended epsi was my "secondary" interest through 2387438 fanarts, went through seven hells of denial until aaside's half-anni, and then finally submitted to karasuma reiji as i rightfully should

How ok are you after reading more about your oshi's history/before Tokyo info?

i had quite neatly predicted the topic of reiji's trauma barely a week prior to the drop and yet i was still a helpless little oshi tied to the traintracks as history entries #9-#12 hurtled towards me

What costume (aside from 4* and shop costumes) would you want to see them wear?

janus reiji :) AND! i want nirvana shu outfit, it's soooo pretty. if we had gotten either of these in aaside i don't think i'd have ever changed these two out of them

Which instrument designs and accessory rewards are your favorites from the events?

the 💋 mark for the cheek has got to be the funniest, cutest, most appropriate accessory you could ever put in a joseimuke game, whoever came up with it has my deepest gratitude

and that's it! thank you for the question thread, zevy~

i leave you all with this very important set of puchi shus
