Apple Seed 7: Demons

Charlie: (nestled into bed and surrounded by a maternity pillow to help prop up her heavy set baby belly) Are you sure you're alright with me going to bed early? I can stay up a little longer and help with the new residents' paperwork.

Vaggie: (cups Charlie's cheek and brushes her thumb over the bright red circle, slipping her finger into the well hidden dimple camouflaged underneath) I'm sure, hun. I can handle it just fine. I'll be in bed in about two- (checks the bedside clock) -two and a half hours.

Charlie: (pouts) But-

Vaggie: (presses a finger to Charlie's lips) No, no hables más, mi amor. You've been sleeping horribly for weeks. If you're tired, you should sleep. I can take over so you can rest. ¿Comprende?

Charlie: (huffs childishly but eyes slowly soften as she kisses Vaggie's finger) Yes, Ma'am. I understand. (snuggles under the covers and strokes her belly) I love you, Vaggie.

Vaggie: I love you too, querida. (kisses Charlie's forehead) Good night. (slowly exits the room and shuts the door with a soft click)

Vaggie: (sighs heavily and shuffles down the hall with an uneasy stride and hunch in her shoulders) Mierda... What am I going to do?

Vaggie: (enters the office and sits behind the desk, slowly opening a side drawer to reveal a hidden flask and pulling it out to take a pull of the liquor inside) Fuck.... Now, I'm drinking by myself because of this... Shit....

-Silence-

Vaggie: (bites her lip and pulls out her phone) I cannot believe I'm doing this. (dials the number and sets the phone to speaker)

-Brrrrrrrrd! ....Brrrrrrrd! ....Brrrrrrrrd!-

Carmilla: Carmine Industries. State your business.

Vaggie: (nervous) Uh, hello, Ms. Carmine. This is Vaggie Morningstar.

Carmilla: I'm well aware who you are, Vaggie. That's the point of caller ID. What do you want?

Vaggie: (under her breath) Gee, aren't you just as perky as ever. (clears her throat) I'm... in need of some... ugh...shit.... advice.

Carmilla: .............I'm listening.

Vaggie: You have two daughters.

Carmilla: How astute of you.

Vaggie: Smartass comments aside! (gets quiet and nervous) How... do you do it?

Carmilla: ..........I must say. Normally, I'd pride myself on being able to understand most nonsensical babbling, but I'm not quite following yours. Elaborate.

Vaggie: (sighs and sinks into the chair) How do you do it? Hold your kids when you have blood on your hands? (stares at her palms and flinches as flashes of deep crimson blood stain her fingers before returning to normal)

Carmilla: I see. This is about your prior Exorcist work and the baby on the way, isn't it?

Vaggie: (nods sullenly before remembering that she's on a voice call) Fuck! Yes! This is about that! How can I hold a perfect little being after everything I've done?! After all the people I've killed here in Hell? (flood gates open as her emotions run wild and tears sting her eyes) I know Charlie has forgiven me, but what if I hurt them? What if... I'm not good enough?

Carmilla: .............

Vaggie: (slowly calms down and wipes the tears from her eyes)

Carmilla: (softly) Because when that child is born, the hands that you once used to kill will be used to protect something even more precious than you could ever imagine.

Vaggie: (blinks) Carmine?

Carmilla: That innocent, perfect little baby will rely on you for everything the moment they're born. Your wife will rely on you to help her shoulder the burden. Do you honestly think that child will care about the people you killed when they only know the love you've given it? The care you've provided to it and it's mother?

Vaggie: But.... what if I-

Carmilla: Taint it? (huffs a laugh) With what? Slightly sullied hands that may or may not be covered in spit up? A child isn't tainted by the past sins of a parent, stupid girl.

Vaggie: (glances at her hands and watches as the blood washes away to a gross, white milky substance and cringes at the thought of spit up) Not sure how much I want that either....

Carmilla: Just remember to burp the child thoroughly between changing breasts if the princess is breastfeeding, and especially after. It should help with any projectile vomiting.

Vaggie: (smiles softly and relaxes) Do... you have anymore words of maternal wisdom for me? I... uh... feel pretty useless right now.

Carmilla: Hmmph. (sits down at her desk and leans back in amusement) Grab a notebook, and I'll give you a few tricks of the trade.

Jojamart closes when you complete the CC right? now imagine Pierre's general store closing when you complete the jojamart and he's forced to work for his rival (no hes not allowed to move out of pelican town bc i said so) <3 me and my friend discussed this au and I think it's pretty good fuel for some toxic gay old man yaoi (also Pierre is divorced)

[arataka-reigen]

hello!! i saw the tags on your pinned post abt how shoujo wasn't just romance and it got me curious bc i've read some nice shoujo but really dislike romance-heavy plots. are there any shoujos you like that don't have much or any romance in them? ty and i hope you have a good day! 💛

Oh, there are lots of mangas that are classified as shoujo and don't have romance!!

I am just now beginning my journey through shoujo as well, so I don't have a lot of recommendations for stuff I actually read, but the ones I did read or watch so far are:

Natsume Yuujinchou and basically anything else by its author, Yuki Midorikawa. Sometimes, her works do include romance, but the focus is almost always in the interpersonal relationships and the difficulties her characters go through in life. NatsuYuu is about an orphan boy who can see yokai, and for that reason he acts in "weird" ways and his foster families dislike him, so he keeps going from family to family. The story is about how he finds a good family who accepts and loves him, makes friends, and learns to make friends even with yokais.

There are currently 6 anime seasons out, and a 7th season is on its way, so you can either read the manga or watch the anime.

Akatsuki no Yona - i mean, this one does include romance, but i'll still put it on the list because as far as the anime went the focus is heavy on Yona's actual journey to gather the dragons of legend to be able to recover the kingdom that was stolen from her. It shows how Yona goes from a sheltered spoiled girl to a person befitting the title of dragon king.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom - this one is the og villainess isekai and it truly deserves the hype. It is about a girl who wakes up in the child body of the villainess of her favorite otome game. She remembers that the villainess' fate in the game was always either death or exile, so she tries her hardest to change her fate. This one is classified as a reverse harem, but the main character is pretty oblivious and worries more about farming and eating sweets and generally being the best girl ever than actually worrying about romance. Aro ace queen tbh. And her harem is just happy to be with her and be dragged along for her stupid adventures. Plus, the female members of her harem are taken seriously as well, Mary is a raging lesbian and it is not subtext. I mean, it is a shoujo, so of course the female characters would be important lol.

Usagi Drop - listen to me. You will absolutely not look for anything related to this manga. If you like the premise you can watch the anime. But, please, do not look for the manga. You will only be extremely disappointed by it. That being said, I recommend the anime. It is about a man who returns home for his grandfather's funeral and then finds out his grandfather had an illegitimate daughter who has now become an orphan. He ends up having to take care of her because the rest of the family considers her a shame to the family.

Now, for the stuff I havent seen yet, I'll just write some that are on my "plan to read" list and put their genres next to their names so you can check it out if you think the genre's sound interesting:

7 Seeds (drama, horror, psychological, sci fi, survival)

Requiem of the Rose King (drama, historical, supernatural, gender identity)

Basara (drama, fantasy, adventure) (i think this one has romance, but from what i've heard, the main character's story is a lot deeper as she takes her brother's identity in order to fight against the king who killed her brother, it is pretty famous and considered a classic)

Ghost Hunt (horror, mystery, psychological, supernatural)

Helter Skelter (horror, psychological)

My Stepmother and Stepsisters aren't Wicked (comedy, historical, slice of life)

Ikoku Nikki (drama) (this one is the one i'm currently most interested on, i hear it's about a distant woman who's never had a good relationship with her sister and now has to take care of her teenage niece because her sister died)

Itsuwari no Freya (crossdressing, historical)

Limit (drama, psychological, school) (this one sounds incredible tbh, on a field trip their bus gets into an accident and only 5 girls remain, having to learn to survive and trying to assert themselves over one another because they hate each other.)

Machida-kun no sekai (school)

Mitarai-ke, Enjou suru (drama) (the main character wants to infiltrate the household of the family who blamed her mother for a fire, in order to prove her mother's innocence)

Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You (comedy)

Uramichi Oniisan (comedy, showbiz, workplace)

Usotoki Rhetoric (mystery, historical)

Don't Call It Mystery (mystery)

If anyone has more things to recommend I would also love to hear about it!!

christmas wishes.

The chill of December air is bitter and biting, even as far down south as Georgia. It’s Christmas Eve, and the city was bustling. Even in the corner of downtown that was tucked away from the ‘prettier’ parts of the city. 

Just outside of the local homeless shelter, in what could only be considered a ‘back porch’ sort of area, a man sat on the back steps, an overgrown ginger buzz cut accompanied by a similarly overgrown beard. His eyes scanned about, cold, calculating, he was watching, waiting for something… or, someone. 

A few moments later, a figure appeared, bounding out from some back alley and narrowly avoided slipping on a patch of ice. A younger woman in her late 20’s with dirty blonde hair from a not-so-great dye job that was hastily tied back, her natural blonde roots peeking through a muddy brownish-blonde. She carried two packs of cigarettes and a weary smile. 

“Got lucky, these were the last two.” The woman commented as she tossed a pack to the man, who caught it wordlessly, his eyes trained on her as she walked up the steps and sat down beside him, opening her pack and pulling out two cigarettes and handing one to him. 

It was a tradition, she’d never allow him to even open his pack before she shared the first of hers. The man grunted, and pulled out a windproof lighter from his worn overcoat, lighting the cigarette between the woman’s lips before lighting his own, and stuffing the little silver lighter back into his pocket. A comfortable silence fell over the pair for a few minutes, the man staring blankly ahead while the woman was looking at the sky. 

“You think it’ll snow?” The woman asked finally. 

“Maybe, dunno.” The man replied, shaking his head as he blew out a plume of smoke, amplified by the steam of his breath in the cold air. 

“I hope it’ll snow. Would make for a nice Christmas.” She replied, and the man grunted. 

“Hard to imagine anything making for a ‘nice’ Christmas.” He added, and the woman snorted, rolling her eyes at him. 

“You are no fun sometimes.” She sighed, taking another long drag from her cigarette, then nudged him with her shoulder. “What are you wanting for Christmas, hm?” 

“Some peace and quiet.” 

“Oh-” 

She fell quiet, taking a long breath before blowing out the smoke into a thin stream in the air. The moment lasted maybe two, three seconds before he sighed. 

“Don’t mean you, obviously.” He corrected, and she cocked an eyebrow. 

“Like I don’t talk your ear off?” She questioned. 

“You do.” He shrugged. “But you’re tolerable.” 

The woman gasped, delighted. 

“You think I’m tolerable?” She couldn’t help the shit eating grin that was spreading on her face. The man shot her a glare. 

“Don’t push it, Salome.” He grumbled once more, then shook his head. The woman, Salome, snorted. 

“Aw c’mon, Jacob. That’s like, the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me!” She mused, nudging him once again, this time with her elbow. The man, Jacob, groaned, and rolled his eyes. 

“That’s pathetic, really.” He said, and she snorted again, but added no comment this time, only a shrug. 

Silence fell once more, hanging around a few minutes longer, but Salome seemed to hate silence, and she spoke again. 

“Hey Jacob?” 

The man sighed. 

“Yeah, Salome.” 

“Do you have any Christmas traditions?” She turned to look at him, propping her elbows on her knees. Jacob glanced at her, his expression unreadable before he glanced away, contemplative. It was quiet again before he replied. 

“...No.” He said, and stuck his cigarette in his mouth to hide the grimace that was spreading. Salome's brow furrowed, but she didn't push. She knew better than to do that. In her mind, it was easier to describe making any sort of progress with Jacob was similar to getting a stray cat to trust you. She was persistent nonetheless, she had been for months now, and so far it was working in her favor. 

After another long beat of silence, she broke it once more. 

“I make a Christmas wish.” She blurted, and he panned to look at her, raising an eyebrow. 

“A what?” 

“A Christmas wish!” She repeated with a smile as she looked at him. “Every Christmas Eve, I think real hard, and then make a wish for the coming year.” She said with an all-too-proud grin, and he huffed. 

“Why not make it on New Year’s Eve, like a normal person?” Any insult in his tone deflected off of her as Salome shrugged. 

“Because I hate New Year’s. It’s loud and stupid.” She said, then stared him down. “Don’t say it.” It’s a threat, and he let out something similar to a chortle, lifting his free hand in defense. After they both calmed, he grunted, as if he was about to regret asking. 

“What’d you wish for this year?” He asked, entertaining her ‘tradition’. Salome hummed, taking a long drag on her cigarette before sighing out the smoke. 

“I dunno yet.” She said, “I haven’t thought of anything good this year.” She shook her head, and ended up shivering as a cold breeze blew through. 

“That so?” Jacob hummed, “Do these things usually come true for you?” He glanced at her, and she shrugged. 

“I mean, most years yeah. Like, the year before last I wished to travel, and I ended up in plenty of new places. And last year, I wished for new friends, and here you are!” She grinned, and he scoffed, rolling his eyes. 

“I’m not your friend.” He grumbled, and it was her turn to scoff. 

“Like hell you aren’t!” She shifted on the porch step to face him better. “I might not be your friend, but you’re my friend. It’s a weird two way street.” She said

 “Besides, if we weren’t friends would you have given me this to wear?” Salome questioned as she tugged on the grey sweatshirt with big black letters that spelled ‘ARMY’ across the chest she was wearing beneath her coat. Jacob rolled his eyes. 

“I want that back at some point.” He said, and when she moved to start taking off her coat, he scoffed. “I didn’t mean right now, Jesus. Don't need you freezing your ass off.” 

“See? Friends.” Salome grinned as she tugged her outer coat back on, and he groaned, rolling his eyes, mumbling a ‘whatever’ beneath his breath. 

And for the millionth time, it fell silent once more. This time, the silence dragged on for much longer, Salome in deep thought while Jacob was more than happy to absorb the quiet outside the sounds of the city, and he, too, started to think a little. And with a sharp breath, he spoke.

“... I used to spend Christmases with my brothers… before we were separated, ‘course.” He said, finally, staring straight ahead as he said it. He figured he could give just a little, in the spirit of the season or whatever lame excuse she’d pin onto his sudden generosity when it came to sharing more about himself. Salome looked to him, and her expression softened some. 

“Do you miss them?” She asked, carefully, like she were treading on thin ice. Jacob hummed, and nodded, blowing out a cloud of smoke. 

“Yeah… I do.” He replied, voice hardly above a mumble. Salome thought for a moment, then nodded to herself. She thought for a good, long minute before an idea struck her, and she perked up.

“That’s it, then!” She said, “I know what I’ll wish for.” 

He looked at her, and frowned. “What are you talking about?” He questioned with the world's most unamused expression, and she grinned. 

“For my wish!” She practically chirped it out as she stamped out the last bit of her cigarette onto the concrete step. “This year, my wish is for you to get to see your brothers again in the coming year… if that's okay?” The last part came out a little more tentative than she desired, but it was too late to take it back.

Jacob nearly laughed, and finished off his own cigarette as he shook his head. 

“You’re crazy.” He sighed. “You’re not gonna wish on yourself?” Salome shook her head in turn. 

“Nah, guess I don’t need the wish that bad this year.” She shrugged. He paused for a minute, as if thinking her offer through before sighing once more, and rolling his eyes in pure defeat. 

“Sure, what the hell.” He conceded, and she smiled, reveling silently in this personal victory for herself. 

“Then it’s settled. I’ve made my wish for the year, and you are gonna see your brothers again.” She declared as she stood. Jacob merely sighed and rolled his eyes at her once again before standing, and following her inside and out of the cold.

And for the first time in a long time, Salome was really hoping this wish would come true, and not for her sake. 

She only found out the success of her wish two weeks into January, when she woke up, and Jacob was gone, and the only thing he left behind was a note written out on a piece of notebook paper, folded and tucked hastily into her pillow. And after some courage and a good bout of crying over seemingly losing her only friend in this place, she finally opened the note to read it. 

‘ Salome, 

Thanks for the wish. Came true quicker than you were probably expecting. They came to see me, and to get me out of here. Must be magic or something. 

Don’t worry about the sweatshirt, maybe if we see each other again some time, you can give it back then… just wash it between now and then, okay? 

Take care of yourself.

Jacob’

New promotional picture for the Spring-focused 7 Seeds stage play.

Some interesting things, there:

-At the bottom, under the title, are multiple photographs of scenery depicting nature at different seasons. 1 in color, representing spring, then 4 in black and white, with the last one being halfway cut. Looks like a hint that the producers might be interested in making more stage plays for other parts of the manga

-The presence of Mozu and Aramaki seems to indicate this stage play might cover content from volume 5-6. Which I hadn't thought about but isn't too surprising a possibility.

-On the other hand, the characters on the left? They very much look like the cleaning robots builders from the big final arc of the story! I'd be very curious to learn what role they'd have to play in this particular play.
