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

"Mmm..." you whimpered, running your fingers through Shu's hair as he expertly stroked your folds with his tongue. He held your shaking legs steady with his strong arms, rendering you powerless to escape the overwhelming pleasure he was delivering. He sucked your clit between his lips and your hips bucked. Shu gripped your legs firmer. "Mmm...Shu..." you whimpered. In response he slid a finger in your opening and continued long licks that had you writhing and trembling with ecstasy. "Shu...more..." you begged him. You heard Shu chuckle to himself. "What a lewd girl." "Shu..." you whined and your lover complied, running his tongue over your clit.

"Haa...nnn..." you felt your orgasm approaching. Your body heated up and you felt the building...your legs shook above Shu's head...you broke, moaning loudly as your orgasm crashed down on you.

Shu chuckled and leaned up to kiss you on his arms. You breathed heavily, coming down from your high. You smiled at him and pushed him down on his back, then bent down to kiss the tip of his dick, smiling to yourself when his thighs quivered. You draped the side of body over his torso.

You opened your mouth and took him into your mouth. With one hand Shu stroked your hair, the other went between your thighs. You whimpered around his dick in between sucks as he rubbed your clit. "Good job. You're doing well." Loving the praise, you continued to suck and took him deeper in your mouth, eliciting a low moan from him.

Shu's thighs shook and he gently pried you off. He kissed you gently and you leaned on top of him, pouring yourself into the kiss and touching his strong biceps. "Not yet." He murmured against your lips. You moaned into his mouth, tilting your head. He cupped the back of your neck gently, running his fingers through your hair. The other hand massaged your breast.

He kissed down your neck. "Good girl." He purred and you beamed at him, which made him smile at you with such love that your heart swelled. "I love you." "I love you too." He leaned in for another kiss, touching your breasts, kneading them. "Shu..."

Shu adjusted himself so he was back fully on his back, only his head elevated by the pillows. "Ride me." The instruction was gentle, loving, yet dominant enough that you got aroused. "I've never ridden you before." suddenly insecure. "First time for everything." Shu replied casually. You laughed and he held your hands to help you climb on top of him. He held your waist steady as you positioned your core over his stiff member. "I'm gonna lower you down. Are you ready?" "Yeah."

You held onto his shoulders as he helped guide you down onto his length. Like always, you gasped as he slid in. You whimpered as he continued to fill you up. "Yes, good girl, just like that." He felt even bigger than usual and you bit your fist to stifle a moan at the stretched feeling. You moaned as one. "Mm...good girl...nnn...keep being a good girl, yes." Your other hand was still on his broad shoulder. You traveled it down a little, feeling his toned chest. His eyelids lowered in lust as you sat on top of him completely, and you stilled, the pleasure overwhelming.

He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you in for a kiss, which you happily returned, wrapping your arms around his neck. Your forward mocement made his dick shift inside you and you cried out at the pleasure it gave. You pulled away from the kiss and looked at him. His eyes were closed with pleasure, which made you smile. He opened his eyes and met your gaze, then smirked, knowing exactly why you were smiling.

"You like making me feel good?" He asked huskily. You nodded. "You're a good girl for me." Just like that, you melted again. He moved his hands so they were settled on your bottom. "Ready to move?" You looked down at your conjoined bodies, then back up. "Uh, I think so. But I don't know how-" Shu stroked your hair. "Don't worry, I'll help." and you laughed again.

You lifted your body to start to ride him, your jaw dropping for a moan. Shu guided you steadily, moving his legs up slightly to assist you. He moaned your name. "Good girl. You're being such a good girl." You moaned again louder, and your head fell forward. You bit into his shoulder. He kissed the top of your head. "I want to hear you. Be a good girl and let me hear your cute little moans." As always, the praise melted you and you moaned. "Heh, that's my good girl." You bounced on top of him, gaining more confidence, and Shu groaned, his eyes devouring your body with admiration. "Fuck." Shu growled. Your brows knit together and you clung to him. "Good girl, yes, fuck..." He wrapped his arms around you again and held you close, thrusting up into you." "Ahhh!" You moaned, digging your nails into Shu's flesh. One his hands traveled down your breasts and stomach to flick your clit. His other arm remained hook around your waist, holding you close.

You tightened your hold on him as your orgasm sent you moaning and writhing in his arms. Shu growled and thrust up faster...harder...until he climaxed as well, filling you with his seed.

"Hah...hah..." you both panted. He held you close, lovingly, and kissed your head. You tilted your head to face him and kissed his mouth. With him still inside you, albeit softening, you held each other close.

Do you have any tips for writing Shuu?

This is the best ask I’ve ever had thank you anon!!! I am honoured to have been asked this, sorry it took me so long to answer, I was getting my thoughts in order! I have a few general tips!! Idk how useful they’ll be tho! :P (this is very long but i have tried to make myself as concise as possible…sorry anon…bear in mind this is all my opinion!)

Shuu, is dreadfully mischaracterised. So it’s tricky, especially because it depends on what exactly ur writing. If ur using headcanons that drastically change him anyway, then the rules are looser ofc, but if as close to canon is the aim, then I would take all fanon Shuu with a grain of salt. Not a slight to anyone at all, but I find different people interpret the character really differently, and I don’t agree with most of it (especially anything pre-2018), so I don’t interact with fanon, especially when writing. Idk what’s currently fanon tho, maybe it’s real af!

A very general tip but it cannot be understated with Shuu - always refer to canon. I have a notebook where I make notes of things I have noticed in his canon appearances, notes from the wiki, the light novels, films, everything. I always cross-reference when planning, and adjust my plot accordingly, during the writing stage, so I can alter my writing process, and upon editing/re-drafts, which I find is where Shuu really becomes himself. I would say write him as best as you can in a first draft, and allow yourself time to redraft and fine tune him afterwards. :)

Another tip for general character writing is to write diary entries from that character’s POV - regardless of whether that is the ultimate protagonist or not - this helps get inside their head. Shuu’s blog entries are helpful starting points.

So, some things to avoid (note: i haven’t read fic in years, so this isn’t in reference to any writer/fic in particular, just things I did notice/have noticed that i dislike when I see him characterised.)

I used to see a lot of flanderisation with Shuu. People really overestimate the amount of French he uses, so I guess a tip there is to limit that - or half the amount you think is enough. You can always add it in later if it is too little. He obviously does use it, but it’s not to the point I’ve seen. Also remember that Shuu doesn’t just speak French - he speaks Italian and English too! (Ik he speaks German, but this only comes up once. Unless ur writing a fic with Kanae I would say it’s less important). A good starting point for adding French/Italian/English to his dialogue/inner monologue would be to look at a list of common francophones, Latin phrases, or older English turn of phrase (not modern Bri’ish, shuu is not a roadman). If I find a list I will add some links 4 u. :)

With regard to general speech/train of thought, try use a wide vocabulary of colourful adjectives - words that are maybe rare or perhaps too fancy for normal conversation. I read a lot, so if I find a new fancy word I write it down. Normally this ends up going to Shuu’s passages in my work :) (I think a great example of this was when I read A Certain Hunger - the protagonist was a food critic, so she was very helpful with colourful language in relation to food!) I also think imagining his anime VAs saying any dialogue really helps me check dialogue too! Food is worth mentioning too, obviously, I think a Shuu-specific tip is to use terms that could be food-related in otherwise unrelated actions - one can devour a book, salivate in anticipation, or go out for a delicious walk! That kind of thing. Don’t be afraid to make it a little silly. Shuu is very fun to write, so have fun! The key is just to toe the line between silly and fun, to caricature. I think if you intend to write him properly, then you inherently sort of avoid that tho.

A thing that seems random but that I used to see constantly in fanon Shuu was him swearing a lot. Off the top of my head, Shuu properly swears once in Tokyo Ghoul - depends on the translation. He also says damn/damned a few times. That’s about as much as I ever write him saying. Again, I would use more colourful language to express his anger or strong emotions. Thinking to him slagging off Rize - that sort of posh-boy anger. You could probably use swearing very sparingly to pack a comedic punch. He doesn’t swear flippantly, that’s very important imo.

Shuu’s motivations are really important. I’ve seen him written as this sort of caricature so many times. People often refer to Shuu as this sort of narcissistic creep - but I think that’s a mischaracterisation. I think he’s vain, but I think that his vanity and pride is covering up some repressed guilt about what he has to eat - his earliest documented interaction with food is that of guilt. Shuu sees himself not as some kind of monster - but as very strong predator. I think he’s more matter-of-fact than people initially realise. He views the world as dog-eat-dog. He’s hunting Kaneki because he is predator - not in the sense of a creep, but as a lion. His justification for his existence is merciless in that fact - man is not typically sympathetic to the hens in batteries, served pre-plucked en mass in a Tescos, but Shuu, who hunts his prey properly, as a true animal should, is supposed to believe he is lesser than them. I think that makes him much more understanding. I think that’s why other ghouls also fail to understand him, because though he pretends to be better, more civilised, he has a very savage mindset. (Sorry. Long Character analysis there, remember what I said about taking fanon with salt earlier?). :p)

TLDR: I think people think Shuu leans far more into a ‘villain’ role than he actually does. An animal is an animal. I wrote a whole load of paragraphs about his character on Instagram a while ago. I will try and rewrite them and post them here if they would be helpful. (Again, all just my opinion)

In regards to Shuu’s obsession with Kaneki - if this is what you’re writing - this isn’t something I’ve ever written (sorry!) but I have written a similar relationship with him and an oc, and I also have BPD (shocking!), so I can relate to this kind of thing…Kind of. I’ve never wanted to eat anyone! I find expressing this kind of obsession very difficult to verbalise - it’s like, full of over-idealisation. You get so swept up in the idea of someone, you forget they’re a flawed human being who you actually might not know as much as you’d like. And when that idealisation inevitably implodes, it’s very devastating. Shuu’s depression and anorexia after ‘losing’ Kaneki, is something I heavily relate to. It might be worth examining what other people with similar conditions have said about this kind of obsession in particular (in bpd we refer to it as having ‘favourite people’) - im not saying Shuu has BPD, I’m simply saying that looking into real life examples for similar kinds of things, in ways that are expressed by people much wiser than me. :) I think it’s important to have empathy for people like this when writing them, because we do exist out here! Having empathy for Shuu when writing is very important, imo.

I think with his relationships, it’s key to remember that Shuu does not understand what he is feeling. He does not understand that he actually genuinely likes Kaneki and enjoys his company, or Hinami’s company, or Hori. This is despite him going out of his way to comfort them, lend them books, buy them gifts, and (importantly) flowers - which Shuu says he links directly with feelings of happiness. People have said this is creepy, but I think this is wrong. Shuu does not understand how relationships work, but he understands that material objects can make people happy. I think people viewing Shuu’s exchange of gifts as something impure are kind of missing the point - understandable if you’ve only read TG and not :re, tbf.

This is just my opinion, so listen liberally, but considering Shuu refers to his actual friends as pets - I think it’s a somewhat reasonable assumption to make that Shuu’s only relationships outside of his home have been with animals or plants. I write Shuu’s relationships as if he were interacting with animals. With :re based stories this is a little different, but you can generally use the same rule. Referring to my earlier point about Shuu viewing himself as an animal - he probably doesn’t think this perspective is as offensive as it might be.

****

I think this is everything off the top of my head. In general, it all comes back to referring to canon, that’s your main thing. Thinking about, and analysing the character in your own way, and coming to your own conclusions. You can utilise other people’s ideas- as long as it’s not offensive, I don’t think it’s so bad, but I try not to. Also, having empathy for the character and taking the time to get to know him. Sometimes I just listen to what Shuu is telling me - if a story arc is too difficult to write, maybe it just isn’t his! Sorry for rambling so much - was this even helpful at all? I feel like I have simply waffled!

Just a few notes: I have written/am writing Shuu at stages Tokyo Ghoul does not document (when he is19/20, and after the end of :Re at age 30+). So most of my work is my estimation of where he might be.

Bear in mind I also haven’t posted anything in a loooong time so none of this has been subject to any criticism aside from my own! I can post some extracts of my current work if it would be helpful. I can also post some pages from my Shuu notebook if you need inspiration, or my instagram analyses, or whatever might help! Feel free to send more asks if needed too! As you can see I like to talk!!!

i hope this was semi-helpful!!!! thank you anon!!! This was such a lovely ask, thank you, merci beaucoup!!! Bisous!!! <3

[satisfiedskye]

i wrote a ficlet last night on shuu so !! read !!! its depressing !!!!

[fangsforiris]

I’m currently sick right now— but in true ao3 fanfic writer fashion, I won’t let it stop my creative flow!! (The ao3 curse is REAL!!)

So here’s a tidbit of a Shū and Reiji brotherly feels centric fanfic (as always) I started yesterday!! I’m hoping to finish this soon. I hope this will keep you stars satiated until I’m finished and fully healed up.

It’s as follows:

“Truth be told, Shuu’s condition had been getting worse. He hadn’t been eating much, hadn’t been saying much, and even went as far as rejecting his body’s ravenous craving for the crimson liquid that fueled all life. In short, it was as if Shuu had finally mentally checked out. He was waiting… waiting so patiently for his slow demise.

Perhaps Reiji was right.”

Ahhh I hope it’ll be worth the wait for you stars!! (And don’t hate me for this, I really am just letting it go on for a bit now. But I’ll let you all be left on that note to think of how this fic will go in terms of plot and what not.)

[dixbolik-lovers]

Next commissioned short fic! This one involves Human Au!Shuu's first blowjob— pretty simple concept, but very fun~ >:Dc

. . .

It hardly feels real. Sitting on your bed with you kneeling at his feet, the situation is surreal in a way that’s almost comedic, if it wasn’t for how hard his heart is pounding and the chill of your cold hands. 

“Nervous?” you ask, a little too mocking to be sweet. 

Shuu scowls. “Of course not. This isn’t worth getting worked up about. It’s not a big deal.” Trying to sound confident... doesn’t work too well. 

You just laugh. “Then just sit back and enjoy yourself.”

When you tug his underwear down his hips, your fingers are terribly cold. Shuu flinches, twitching, but you just wriggle the fabric out of the way like his all-too-obvious nerves mean nothing at all. You’ve left his shirt on, but that small scrap of dignity doesn’t matter much, considering that you’re now staring at his half-hard dick like it’s some kind of target. 

You’ve seen him naked before, sure. Between the various forms of harassment you’ve inflicted on him already, this is far from foreign territory. And yet, when you lean down and stare up at him with a familiar, predatory gaze, Shuu can’t help but feel way too out of his depth. 

Then, you press a quick, soft kiss to his tip. 

Shuu jolts like he’s been shocked. You smirk, and your tongue replaces that brief brush of lips not even an instant later. 

And while he’s plenty familiar with this kind of thing between porn and Laito’s regular bragging, the reality of a soft, wet mouth on his dick is somehow much more intense than it has any right to be. 

Not bothering to give him time to adjust, yet mindful of your fangs, you swallow him down to the base before he can even breathe. The inside of your mouth is inhumanly cold— but that somehow only makes it more intense. A strangled gasp escapes him as he reflexively curls in, unthinkingly grasping at your hair because he needs something to ground himself with.

Blood rushes down so fast it leaves him dizzy. Shuu goes from half-hard to aching in the span of seconds, and you keep your mouth right there like it’s nothing. Your tongue presses up against his underside, cool and slick, and the first bit of proper suction has his thighs going tense. 

When he whines, you pull back, holding your lips just under the head of his dick, where he’s so sensitive that even that light friction leaves him tugging your hair hard enough that a human would be flinching. 

But you’re not human, and you must really not need to breathe— because you have him right back down your throat a second later, humming just to hear him squeak. Shuu’s hips buck, but you just pin them down and keep him there, swallowing around him over and over again until he’s seeing stars, until he can’t get even a word out to warn you that he’s about to come down your throat just like this. 

That’s exactly what happens. You don’t even flinch while his cock pulses come into your mouth— you just pull back enough to let it spill over your tongue and out onto your lips, still smirking, self-satisfied, when the lewd sight just makes him bite down on another pathetic sound.

TickleTober2023/Day 13 - Prank Call

Horimiya - Yanagi (feat. Iura and Sengoku)

Beep. Beep. Beep-

“Hnng…” Yanagi groaned tiredly, using his best efforts to keep his eyes half open as he looked around for his alarm. So tired, so sleepy… he surely could still use some extra minutes of sleep to catch a proper rest.

Giving the poor alarm a rough hit on the top, Yanagi slammed the snooze button before dropping his head into his pillows, letting out a long sigh of relief as he could finally go back to sleep. That, of course, if it wasn’t for his own cell phone beginning to ring. He groaned, reaching out to it without even lifting his face and accepting the call.

“Good morning, Ya ~ na ~ gi ~” An overly excited Iura said on the other side in his usual loud, beaming voice. What was that, Yanagi thought, narrowing his eyes. “Did you wake up on tim-”

Click

No, he wasn’t going to listen to that. Yanagi’s morning temper was way too bad to put up with whatever that green-haired ball of energy had in store for him. He wanted to sleep, why did Iura even call him? Wait, calling him… could there be a reason for it that he wasn’t recalling?

He was too tired to think. With his hand lazily dropping back into the mattress, the teen sighed, reading to drift back into sleep. Or so he thought, before his cell phone began ringing again.

Yanagi thought about ignoring it, letting it fall on a dead end, but, for some reason, he decided to pick up the call again. “...What?” He nearly growled, pressing his eyes shut.

“Y-Yanagi, good morning,” Sengoku said on the other side, seemingly intimidated. “Are you awake?” He continued and Yanagi was already considering turn off the call, however, until he picked up a random conversation going on the other side.

“...need to be louder!” He heard, was it Iura? What was he saying?

“Go away, you- aAHahAH, n-no! IuhuraHAH!”

Yanagi pulled the phone away from his ear as Sengoku started to laugh, getting even more confused. What was going on?

“Sengoku…?” The sleepy guy muttered, slowly approaching the phone back to his ear to continue to hear the banter on the other side.

Whatever was going on, it sounded like a murder attempt. “S-tohohop it! You idiohohot!! AhAHAHA, I-I’m ohohon the phohone!” Sengoku roared through cackles.

“Yanagi won’t wake up if you sound so tame!” Iura shouted, loud enough to be heard through the phone, “you need to go louder like this!”

“IURAHAHA!!” Sengoku squealed, making Yanagi pull the phone away from his ear again.

Some sort of prank call to wake him up? Wait, wake him up? Yanagi widened his eyes, that’s the reason he could remember! He checked the time and, if he got up now, he would still arrive on time. “Y-yes, I’m awake, thanks guys!” He said hurriedly before turning off the call to go get himself ready for another school day.

A/N: Okay, so do you guys remember that one episode from the last season? It was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this prompt on the list and I NEEDED to work on it.

So here it is ~ Hope you guys enjoyed!

[orii-blogs-stuff]

“Absolutely not.”

“But Ferdinand~” The new Aub Alexandria said, “Aren’t you curious about what could be inside it?”

It had been just another Fruitday for Rozemayne, waking up next to Ferdinand, sharing a gyu, having breakfast, doing paperwork until tea time and having tea.

However, unlike most Fruitday’s where they would have tea time in the drawing room, Rozemyne decided to exploit the perfect weather and have tea time outside in the gardens (Ferdinand could really use some sunlight, he was starting to look like a [vampire] staying inside for so long!).

Which had lead them to their current predicament as while getting ready to walk towards the garden in her new regency-inspired wrapper dress, a frantic Ordoschnelli from Philine made its way to her.

“Lady Rozemyne, there… There is a strange door in the middle of the garden with a wooden katze carved into it. I am unsure what to make of it.”

Ferdinand, upon hearing this, sent for Justus and Ekhart and had the knights on standby. Currently, they were trying to figure out what to do, Damule had sensed summoning magic had brought the door to the gardens, but who would do that? Why would they bring this random door into the gardens? Was it a trap, sent by a foe?

“Might I suggest I, myself examine the door and where it leads to?” Justus said, “I may be able to deduce how someone could have moved the door inside the castle parameter without alerting Lord Ferdinand’s wards.”

“Be careful…” Rozemyne said, “Who ever managed to get through Ferdinand’s defences… That too with none of us noticing… They must be very powerful and very skilled.” Nothing of such sort was described in the Book of Magic, not in hers nor Ferdinand’s, they were dealing with something new entirely.

“I will, My Lady.” Justus said as he opened the door.

As the door opened, Rozemyne saw the inside was bathed in a soft orange glow and… Sniff sniff… Was that… Sniff sniff… Miso?! Without thinking Rozemyne ran towards the door.

“ROZEMYNE!” “MY LADY!”

“LADY ROZEMYNE!”

Inside looked to be the interior of a typical [Izakaya], how?!

“Hello and welcome~!” A server with dark hair and dark skin said, “Please! Have a seat.”

“Rozemyne!” Ferdinand started to scold her as Eckhart pulled out his sword and pointed it at the severs and the customers, Angelica and the other knights doing the same, “Stand back! These people are dangerous!”

“I’m fine!” Rozemyne argued, but Ferdinand was not having any of it.

“Not until we have done an in-depth background check on everyone here!” Ferdinand said.

Just then, the chef came out from the kitchen, “Hello there.” The man said, “And welcome, I intend no offence Sirs and Ma’ams, but please put away your blades, you are scaring the servers and the customers.”

“Who are you?” Eckhart said, though it sounded more of a statement than a question, not that Rozemyne was paying attention, the only thing she could smell was the heavenly miso! “And what is this place?”

“This is Nekoya.” The chef said, “We’re a humble restaurant serving western food, mostly.”

“A restaurant?” Ferdinand said, his voice was even but Rozemyne knew Ferdinand did not believe a word the man had just said, “Very well then, explain how your… restaurant had an entrance laying in our garden without any of us knowing.”

The chef just shrugged, something considered obscene amongst the nobility, “The details aren’t clear with me either, it just happens really. According to an elderly regular, it distorts space-time and multiple doors appear in many locations, all leading to this very restaurant which is in another world.” Another world? Rozemyne felt hope well inside her, were they in Japan?! “Please, have a seat, order whatever you like.”

Rozemyne pulled on Ferdinands hand, “Come on Ferdinand! You’ll love it! Everyone come as well!” Trust me! Rozemyne tried to say with her eyes.

Rozemyne could see the conflicted look on Ferdinand’s face, on one hand, he did not want to cause a scene, on the other, his survival instincts were telling him to take everyone hostage and look through their memories to see if they truly had no bad intentions, “Very well then.” Ferdinand said, “If Chaocipher hides within Gebordnung however, the consequences will be… Severe…”

“Excellent.” The chef said, “Riya, could you please hand out the menus? Oh and uh.” He looked at them, “Can you read the [Eastern Continent’s] Language?”

Rozemyne shook her head, “I do not know of this Eastern continent you speak about.” Ferdinand simply narrowed his eyes and Justus and the other retainers kept looking at everything, soaking up every piece of information about this place.

“I think they’re from that new place, Sir.” The server named Riya said, “That one where the other patron is from is from… Yurgenschmidt?”

“We are.” Rozemyne nodded, Ferdinand looked like he could pinch her cheeks for telling them such vital information.

“Ah well.” The chef said, “We have menus written in Yurgen as well.”

Riya showed them to their seats, because they were a large party, a few chairs and tables had to be pushed together closer. “Here’s the menu~!” She said, “I’ll come back in a [minute] to get your orders-”

“-Wait!” Rozemyne was acting unladylike, but she had to know, “This restaurant… He said this is a restaurant from another world… Is that world-”

“-Rozemyne-”

Rozemyne ignored Ferdinand, she needed to know, “-Is the original place, Japan by any chance?”

“Yes.” The server said, “How did you know?”

“We would like to have a few moments to discuss what we would like for tea.” Ferdinand said with a noble smile.

The server looked taken aback, “Oh- uh- Ok then, call me when you’re ready~! One more thing. I would recommend the melon soda, it’s a [fan favourite]!” With that, she left.

Ferdinand dropped his act, “What were you thinking?” He said in a low voice, “They could be enemies!”

“They know what Japan is!” Urano’s home country… How she missed it…

“Let us order something.” Justus said, “Keep our intentions under Verbergen’s shroud until Chaocipher comes out to play.”

Rozemyne looked through the menu, it was mostly western food such as spaghetti and pizza, but there were also japanese food such as chicken curry~ But what Rozemyne wanted was one thing and one thing only, “Excuse me?” She asked the server, “Do you have anything with [miso]?”

“All our set meals come with a bowl of miso soup.” The server said, “Are you [vegetarian]?”

Oh, the server must think she was looking for vegetarian options, “No, I just like soybeans.” Rozemyne said.

“Well, in that case we do serve [tofu] and [natto].”

They had tofu and natto?! “I would like natto with rice please!”

“Very well then.” The server started to write it down, “Would anyone else like to order?”

In the end, their table ordered:

1 natto with rice

1 chicken curry set meal

1 beef stew

3 chef specials

2 omurice

It took a while for the food to arrive, until then, they conversed amongst themselves.

“I believe they are telling the truth.” Justus said, “I sense no ill intent from any of them.”

“Keep your wits sharp.” Ferdinand grumbled.

“Ofcourse, My Lord.” Justus said, “I do find it odd however, they said they had another patron from Yurgenscmidht, I wonder who they are…”

When the food arrived, Rozemyne could cry tears of joy, but being a Lady (Aub no less!) She could not show weakness, instead, she slowly started eating, savouring the taste of every bite. Ferdinand, on the other hand, looked confused when the server did not taste test the food, “Don’t worry, everyone.” She said, “This is normal.”

“We must make sure this is not poisoned-” 

Rozemyne stopped him right there, “It’s not poisoned.‘ She insisted, “If it was, they wouldn’t have been able to stay in business.”

Ferdinand just stared at her, Rozemyne stared back, “Let’s not make the servers work anymore difficult than it already is.” She said, pointing to the servers who were working in a flurry, between greeting new customers and taking orders and giving food and collecting the money, the three servers barely had time to breathe.

“I shall take the first bite.” Eckhart said as he used his knife and fork to cut into the pizza, he took a bite and slowly chewed at, after a few minutes he finally said, “I do not taste a hint of poison.”

The rest of the table sighed in relief, finally eating the food, their eyes lighting up in wonder, “The food is befitting to be served to the Zent!” Leonore said.

“Indeed~” Angelica said.

“Despite the rustic atmosphere, the food is sublime…” Hartmut said, “But the food Lady Rozemyne had created is better!”

“I agree!” Clarrissa said.

OOO

Riya was unsure what to do with the small gold coin, the food all together was seven large silvers but the newest patrons told her to keep it as a ‘tip’. ‘I’ll just add it to their tab’ Riya thought, Mako paid her more than enough, because he was paying her the salary of a Japanese server in Tokyo and Kolkata was cheaper and she was still living with her parents. She had so much money she didn’t need any extra money, the money she made was enough to buy at least 30 family packets of oreos each day. “Please come again next time!” She said to the group. 

“We will!” The (maybe) twenty-year-old with dark blue hair and bright yellow eyes said. “We had a lovely time.”

“Please remember! The door only shows up once every seven days.” Riya said.

“Oh…” The lady looked heart broken for a split second but her demeanour became bright again, “We shall come next Fruitday again then!”

“Rozemyne.” The guy with the light blue hair said as he turned to look at Riya. “ We shall think about gracing this restaurant with our patronage. It seems Dregarnuhr the Goddess of Time has woven today's threads with exceptional speed and grace.” He said as he and the rest of the group left.

… What a weird way of saying goodbye… Riya didn’t have time to think about that as another customer entered, “Hello and welcome~! Oh it’s you, Shuu!” It was Shuu~! “I haven’t seen you in two weeks!”

“My manager kept wanting me to attend the Saturday meetings.” Shuu said with a sad sigh, “I managed to convince him to have those meetings on Friday, however.”

Shuu was a v-tuber, which one Riya didn’t know but she was pretty sure he was Akuma-Akuma (he won’t say however, that goes against his contract so Riya just has fun guessing). He lived near to the location of the actual Nekoya but after finding a door in his local library that lead to Nekoya one day, he also started coming every Saturday (Atleast, the ones he could manage to come). “Will it be the usual?” Riya asked.

Shuu nodded, “And today’s special.”

Riya gave him a thumbs up, “One melon soda float and one today’s special coming right up!”

golden dragon’s prelude

BEFORE WE BEGIN:

So uh, before we start:

This piece will be one of the biggest things I will reveal regarding Yuu (Rei)’s involvement to the plot that will make her completely diverge from the position of canon MC.

I actually wanted to post it first after finishing chapter 13 but now my focus of fic has diverted to my Persona 5 Royal fic “tabula rasa”, and with Twisted Wonderland main story not being quite finished yet, I decided to hold off a bit before deciding whether or not I want to finish “black or white” on the first main arc in Night Raven College of the game or continue on.

Though personally, I may just conclude it on the first overarching arc after Diasomnia and whatever we had with OB Grim in the future, and make it fully canon divergent after OB Grim is dealt with.

So with that in mind, I decided to reveal this ahead to set up what else will diverge from Twisted Wonderland canon in “black or white”.

Also there’s going to be a bunch of new original characters introduced but I will make a post about who are the newly introduced OC’s soon.

This contains ideas to how Pomefiore concluded and play into how Ignihyde and Diasomnia will run.

Without further ado, here we go!

She couldn’t hear whatever it was that happened under the stage once the results of the vote announced it as a tie.

Vil-san seemed upset at what Rook-senpai had said.

Neige also seemed to be visited by a fellow RSA student about the results.

Then there was an announcement from Neige via the microphone. “Can the Directing student Yuu Shiina come down to the stage?”

She was suspicious to where this goes down, but nonetheless, complied and went towards the stage.

Rather than take the stairs, she quietly chanted the runes at her shoes, the runes glowed and she jumped, her jumps gave the illusion that she was touching on an invisible platform as she reached the stage down at the colosseum, accompanied by Shiro on her shoulder and Grim at her free shoulder.

She landed on the ground next to the NRC group with ease, both Grim and Shiro jumping down from her shoulder as soon as she landed and she soon gazed over to Neige Le Blanche, and the student next to him, accompanied by a blue-green snake wrapped around-

Wait, that’s-

“Yaolan?” She called for said student.

Yaolan greeted her with a wave once he heard her.

Yaolan had been a regular that Yuu got acquainted with when she started taking a part-time job at cafe La Salvia down town.

She knew that he studied in Royal Sword Academy as a foreign exchange student in his second year and they had been friendly with each other as fellow foreigners in a strange land over the months they got acquainted.

But now, she felt a strong aura emitting out of him.

She didn’t notice it before, but now that she had made her pact with Shiro official, she can sense the irregular aura emanating out from the snake.

The aura is the same aura she felt with Shiro now that they officiated their pact together.

For a moment, she felt apprehensive about what this would be about.

She absentmindedly placed her left hand on her upper right arm, where the magical tattoo that formed as a sign of her officiated pact with Shiro lay concealed underneath her cardigan sweater and blouse.

She sincerely hoped it wasn’t about what transpired earlier before the competition.

She already had Leona-san on her case.

“For a brief moment, there was this air surrounding the whole area that kept us all frozen until it’s gone in an instant.” The Savanaclaw dorm head started once he got a hold of her during the break.

“Omnivore, what did you do?”

She kept mum.

She sent Grim off to Ace and Deuce’s way, not wanting him to get involved in whatever mess would come out of confronting Vil-san of what he plans to do to Neige at the time. (Grim ended up being involved anyway)

So instead, she answered. “You can ask Vil-senpai in private later.”

...Leona-san aside, there’s Malleus.

“For a brief moment, there was a stillness in the air.” The Diasomnia dorm leader spoke shortly before he left, his voice a whisper.

“Do you know what caused it, child of man?” He questioned.

Behind Malleus, she can see Kalim-san looking worried, but otherwise quiet.

“I’m not sure about that.” Was her reply.

The truth is this, Shiro is actually a powerful mythical creature in disguise.

Specifically, Shiro is the White Tiger of the West, one of the Four Cardinal gods.

She’s aware of the legend back home, but she doesn’t know if the same applies in this new world as well.

While their existence was covered in history class at one point, she didn’t pay too much attention at how involved they actually were in the world of Twisted Wonderland beyond the fact that they exist.

So really, color her surprised when Shiro, whom she believed to just be a magical cat familiar, shifts to a gigantic white tiger, protecting her, Kalim-san and Rook-san from being poisoned by an overblotted Vil in the halls of the Colosseum before they escaped with Jamil-san.

So the legends exist and are real in this world.

At any rate, Shiro deemed the situation with Vil-san’s overblot as dire enough to break out of his disguise and to protect them but he eventually returned to his disguise once Ace, Deuce, Epel and Grim arrived at the area.

Kalim-san, Jamil-san and Rook-san are also the only ones who bear witness to the pact they made while Vil-san initially assumed that seeing the White Tiger is just an exhaustion induced fever dream.

So really, those three are the only ones to know about Shiro’s true identity.

Though, the fact that Yaolan is enveloped in a powerful aura and accompanied by the blue-green snake on his neck...

He must have been a master of one of the Four Cardinal gods of Twisted Wonderland.

Going by the fact that Yaolan has Fengyue, the snake, with him, he must have been the master of Seiryuu, the Blue Dragon. Potentially.

“Yo, Yuu.” Yaolan started.

“Wait, potato, you know him?” Vil-san voiced.

“He’s a regular at the cafe I worked part time at.” Yuu simply answered, which was followed by Ace, Deuce, and Epel squawking out “What!?”.

Yuu, accompanied by Shiro, walked towards him. “What are you doing here?”

He crossed his arms and lifted a hand, scratching his cheek in a look of sheepishness. “I admit it’s selfish of me to vote for NRC and calling you out here but… this is an inevitable encounter and meeting.”

He paused, the smile now had a mischievous glint. “As fellow masters of the Cardinal Beasts.”

A powerful pressure filled the air, enough that it got most of the people in the vicinity on their knees.

Beside her, Grim squawked at the power and fell down to the ground while Shiro jumped from her shoulder and gracefully landed.

They’re both the only ones, outside of Yaolan and the potential Blue Dragon in disguise in front of her, who can stand firm.

All is deaf to her, she can only hear Shiro growl, and the snake slithers into their owner’s arm, hissing in return.

Furrowing her eyebrows, she scrutinizes the student in front of her.

“What do you want from this?”

Yaolan raised their arms, posing to look like he surrendered. “Hey now, I’m not here to make an enemy out of a fellow master.”

“You could just do this privately rather than to make a show by voting your rival.”

Yaolan let out a chuckle. “You really don’t know it, do you?”

“Know what?”

At her question, he started to explain. “It’s strange, you know? Every single person who had become the master chosen by the Cardinal Guardians all made quite a good name for themselves in varying ways in society, be it with the magicless and magicians. And yet… it’s odd that the same does not apply to the White Tiger for the past decades.”

What is he going with this-

“Fengyue told me that the last time the White Tiger chose a master was seven decades ago, but when the pact ended, any traces of his master at the time disappeared, as if they never existed in the first place, and there are no new records of the White Tiger choosing a new master…”

His smile is ever present as they concluded. “Until you, that is.”

She raised a brow at him, confused to why Yaolan is bringing the subject of the Four Cardinals up. “...Your point?”

Yaolan laughed once more. “Haha, sorry about that, I noticed that the White Tiger’s aura had been imprinting close to you for months but I wasn’t sure if you and the White Tiger are official yet, now I’m sure that your pact with the White Tiger is official.”

...So he knew Shiro’s true form for that long.

“By outing Shiro and I in front of hundreds of students and the visiting audience?” She raised a brow at him.

“Whoa whoa, easy, it’s not like you’re the only one alone who got outed here.” He waved his free hand at her, the snake slithering back to his neck.

A voice boomed throughout the area.

“Well met.”

This wasn’t Shiro’s voice, rather, it came from the snake.

The snake glowed, floating up and away until the outline of a dragon (The Eastern kind, rather than the one from the west), was visible and the large dragon (Seiryuu, the Blue Dragon) loomed above them all, the dragon’s head lay above the master’s shoulder.

She shifted to her left, Shiro’s form glowing and revealing his true form in suit.

A large, mystique, elegant White Tiger (Byakkou, the White Tiger) now stood in Shiro’s place, on the defensive and looking for signs of an attack.

“There is little need for apprehension, we mean no harm.” The dragon spoke.

“The actions of your master spoke of otherwise.” Shiro retorted.

“Point taken, do forgive this mischief prone master of mine.” The dragon rumbled. “It’s been a while since we last met, not since over seventy years ago when your pact with Lady Kaname ended.”

Kaname? That’s-

She took a step forward towards the dragon, Yao Lan stepping back in surprise.

Her voice was shaky as she questioned. “How… How did you know my grandma?”

There was a momentary pause in the air and the dragon let out a rumbling laughter. “Hah! So you are Lady Kaname’s brethren! That does quite explain much to why my brother in arms chose you.”

The laughter paused as Yaolan looked aghast at their familiar. “You didn’t tell me that you knew who the previous master of the White Tiger was Fengyue!”

“You never asked for the master’s name, my lord.” The Blue Dragon, Fengyue, answered.

Yaolan gave the dragon a pointed look. “You're getting a pay back for this when we get back to RSA.”

The dragon gave an impression of rolling his eyes at his master’s antics before he asked. “Still, did my brother not speak to you of how well acquainted he was with your grandmother?”

“Kaname-sama made me promise to not speak about her to anyone else outside of those who already knew of her at the time. And I still need to see if she is worthy to be my Master, regardless of whether or not this child is of Kaname-sama’s blood.”

...What...?

Shiro… Shiro knew about grandma?

Grandma’s… she had been here? In Twisted Wonderland?

“A good decision.” The dragon nodded at him.

“...But what does revealing yourselves to the public have to do with this?”

At her question, the dragon seemed thoughtful, before answering. “My brother may not have sensed it as his pact with you is recent, but I shall tell you-”

“The Golden Dragon, the creator of the Cardinal Guardian Beasts, will soon awaken from slumber.” Yaolan cut the dragon off, resulting in the dragon looking indignant at the interruption.

“Every 500 years, the Golden Dragon awakens, descending to Twisted Wonderland to observe the state of the world since his slumber, interfere with the matter of mortals, if necessary, and potentially find an individual worthy of being it’s master.” Yaolan explained, the wording sounds as if they were reciting word for word of what has been told.

“I could explain with much more clarity.”

“But Fengyue! This is a once in a lifetime chance for all of us where we can see the Golden Dragon in the flesh! And you told me if the Golden Dragon awakens soon, it’ll be the first time since a millennia ago that all four masters of the Cardinal Beasts will gather in place and have a big reunion!”

The Blue Dragon stares at his master exasperatedly. “There’s more than just a reunion between us Cardinals.” Soon elaborating.

“The Golden Dragon’s awakening means that our lord has returned to give his blessings to the land of Twisted Wonderland… and he also comes back to judge and test the strength of the Cardinal Beasts and their chosen masters, to see if they are strong enough to protect and oversee the land in his absence.”

Ah.

“So in other words, we’re going to fight the King of the Cardinals.” She surmised.

The dragon nods. “Well spoken. It is but a test of strength.”

“Do you believe that our current Masters have what it takes?” Shiro pondered upon the dragon and Yaolan’s explanation.

“They have to be. Our lord and King would descend from the heavens soon, after all. In a few years, or in a more recent time, I do not know, however.”

“And isn’t that just the exciting part?” Yaolan grinned. “A reunion and a test of strength… I’ll be looking forward to fighting you in the future!”

“Your enthusiasm for a healthy competition is admirable, young Yaolan.” A blur of blue landed in front of them, causing them to step back.

“Whoa, Headmaster!”

A blue robed old gentleman with a blue wizard hat stood, smiling serenely.

So this man is RSA’s Headmaster.

“While I appreciate a good enthusiasm, you know you’re in trouble for disrupting an event in order to find a fellow master.”

Hearing that, the student gave the old man a sheepish grin, who is currently giving his student a pointed look. “Haha, oops?”

The Headmaster let out an exasperated but fond sigh. “Now please tell both your Familiars to let off their aura. While those sitting in the audience are safe, those in the vicinity don’t look like they can hold on for long.”

Without waiting for their reply, both Shiro and the Blue Dragon, Feng Yue, obliged. The unbearable pressure around them slowly left.

Feng Yue’s form now glowed in light and he returned to his snake disguise.

Neige, who had been down on the ground since both Yao Lan and herself started talking, slowly stood and walked towards the Headmaster. “Headmaster,! How are you here? That was a powerful magical Aura earlier...”

The RSA Headmaster chuckled. “It is a simple trick, young one.”

With a pat at his hat, the RSA Headmaster turned. “Now I won’t be keeping you for long, I shall escort Yaolan out and we can return to our scheduled event.”

The Headmaster took his leave, with Yaolan following and giving her a wave before leaving.

“Yuu!”

She turned, seeing Ace, Deuce and Epel at her left. The seniors followed behind them.

“He didn’t do anything else, did he?” Ace questioned.

She shook her head.

“But… when that dragon said Kaname… did he really mean the same Kaname who was your grandmother?” Deuce pondered.

“...I’ll talk about that later once VDC is officially over.” She answered.

Yuu turned her attention back to the now shrunk Shiro and let him climb onto her shoulders and headed for the backstage.

She tried to ignore all the eyes now on her over the new information and once she’s away from invasive eyes, she called for her new familiar’s name.

“...Shiro?”

“Yes?”

“Can you tell me more about what grandma’s like years ago? She... grandma never told me about the world she was once spirited away too.”

Grandma had been open about how she was spirited away when she was younger, but never mentioned where.

What urged her to decide to keep it quiet?

“...Very well, you deserve to know more about her too, my liege.”

“...Thank you.“

______________________________________________________________

The onlookers are looking in.

______________________________________________________________

Crewel saw the Headmaster brewing up a storm, feathers puffed, in a way, at the unbelievable sight in front of him.

As he looked at the screen of the troublesome puppy in his Homeroom standing firm next to the Cardinal Beast who revealed himself to have been playing masquerade to the whole school this whole time, he couldn't help but grin as he recalled how the Headmaster had treated his supposed ward.

How ironic.

The supposed ward he took in and then neglected, believing she may become irrelevant in the long run, is now relevant for a longer run.

______________________________________________________________

“The Cardinal Beast of the West and the East…” Riddle murmured at the sight of the two beasts on screen.

He only heard of legends and stories about them.

To see them in the flesh… All he could say is that they are absolutely ethereal.

He has a lot to ask of Yuu later.

______________________________________________________________

Leona groaned once he saw the White Cat and Blue-green snake transform to their true forms. “A Cardinal Beast. Great. No wonder none of us Beastfolk can actually sense his presence beyond whatever magic he did hours ago.”

Something did happen that caused the data in the stadium to go poof, and the Omnivore is deliberately hiding it, not because of what it entails, but to hide her recently finalized pact with such a powerful creature.

A smart move, if he had to say it himself.

If the white cat ended his masquerade so early in the year, the other students in this school would do anything to get their hands on having a powerful creature as a partner.

Though, given that most familiars, regardless of whether they are a regular one or a powerful mythical beast, stays loyal to their chosen master anyway, any attempts to steal a familiar would have ended as quickly as their greed was born.

That’s not counting the repercussions of angering a mythical beast either.

...He can sense a troublesome call coming from brother dearest later once the VDC is over.

He’s going to have his eye on the Omnivore soon.

Anyone who is known to be the Master of one of the four Cardinal Beasts would be looked for by world leaders for sure, if only because those Masters often serve Diplomats and each of them had done many achievements as balance keepers in history, and thus, can also give the world leaders a one up against others in a political standing if said master specifically chose a country.

That’s just how powerful of an influence that the Cardinal Beasts have, and why those who managed to make a pact with them are considered a big deal to many of the world’s leaders.

The East already had the RSA kid now.

The Southern lands had the Master of the Vermilion Bird who is making a name for herself in the recent news as a promising Magician, in spite of her young age.

The Master of the Black Turtle is stationed in the Northern lands of Twisted Wonderland, and is Valley of Thorns’ diplomat stationed in Pyroxene outside of being the mentor of the Vermilion Bird’s master.

He is currently the one that the world knew to have been the Black Turtle’s master for two centuries due to being a Fae, unlike some of the human and/or beastfolk masters that had been chosen by one of the four Cardinals in history.

That left the Omnivore as a free game as far as Masters of the Cardinal Beasts goes, as the White Tiger that governs the West.

Then there’s what the Blue Dragon is saying, about how the Golden Dragon will wake in the near future...

...He’ll leave all the politicking to Aniki later.

“You always get into troublesome things somehow, Omnivore.”

______________________________________________________________

“Why, this is an unprecedented turn of events.”

Azul adjusted his glasses.

Floyd and Jade grinned beside him in excitement.

The fact that Shiro, the white cat accompanying the Ramshackle Prefect together with Grim-san, is actually one of the Four Cardinal Beasts is unexpected, but his interest is piqued at another piece of information.

“The Golden Dragon, King of the Cardinals, should soon awaken…”

His lips curved to a smirk.

That would be a sight.

______________________________________________________________

“So that rascal of a kitty cat who got tamed by her is actually the White Tiger in disguise and his previous master was the Ramshackle Prefect’s relative? I knew something’s up with her when she showed up out of the blue and added onto her involvement in the recent incidents, this really proves that she’s an Isekai Shounen Manga protagonist… man I’m glad I kept a distance around her over the past months.”

Click, clack.

The sound of the tablet’s keyboard registered to Idia Shroud’s ears.

He furrowed his brows. “...That RSA kid was right. There’s not a single trace of that Prefect’s relative at all outside of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger’s account.”

At the tablet’s screen, it shows:

“No matching records found.”

______________________________________________________________

“You already asked me several times over the past few minutes, Headmaster, I knew nothing of the fact that Yuu Shiina’s White Cat Familiar is actually a Cardinal Beast masquerading as a familiar akin to my Lucius.”

Massaging the temples on his forehead, Mozus Trein let out a sigh at the Headmaster’s repeated questions.

He truly knew nothing about the fact that a Cardinal Beast has been hiding right under their noses as a regular familiar.

And said beast chose the dimensionally displaced student as his master due to the fact that she was actually a relative to his previous master.

All he knew was that the white cat initially arrived in Night Raven College in search of a master three years ago.

...Wait.

Three years ago…

“...If I recall correctly, it was Vanrouge who brought the cat in question when he was enrolled three years ago. Claiming that the cat Familiar belonged to an old friend and it is searching for a new master.”

However, given that the cat is actually a Cardinal Beast in disguise… that could mean-

“...Vanrouge knew the cat’s true identity all along.”

______________________________________________________________

“A Cardinal Beast… that certainly explained the stillness of the air hours ago. I always thought that white cat was far more than he seemed when I saw him in the company of that Child of man from Ramshackle.” Malleus placed a hand under his chin, looking thoughtful.

Sebek stared at the spectacle in disbelief, the conversation and scene of the confrontation between the two masters of the Cardinal Beast is in full view for everyone to see. Be it those in Sage Island and those outside of it.

"To think such a beast had been hiding this whole time… and yet, he didn’t choose Malleus-sama, but that human!”

Sebek felt furious, fist clenched at the thought that his liege was not chosen by the Cardinal Beast.

Silver, on the other hand, scrutinized Lilia. “...You told me that the cat belonged to an old friend.”

Lilia, on his part, blinked. Smiling oh so innocently as Malleus and Sebek now turn towards him. Eyes wide at Silver’s words.

“My, I forgot that I’ve spoken to Silver about it once.”

“...So you knew what the cat actually was all along?”

At Silver’s question, Lilia chuckled in a good natured way. “Why yes, I’ve been long acquainted with him for seventy years.”

“...Then-”

“I wasn’t expecting Kaname’s granddaughter to appear in Twisted Wonderland the way she did after her grandmother left this world all those years ago. And yet, here she was.”

Malleus furrowed his brows. And then his eyes lit up in remembrance. “Now I remember.”

Malleus spoke, recalling the memory. “I often came across a young woman who often visited the castle seventy years ago. However, I was unable to get properly acquainted with said guests with grandmother telling me that she has that woman’s matters handled.”

He concluded. “No wonder the Child of Man seemed familiar.”

Malleus then questioned. “Did you let the beast and child of Man meet because you knew who they are actually related to?”

Lilia shook his head, his smile ever present. “Why, I only nudged my old friend towards the young lady’s direction. It was simply my old friend’s decision to choose her as his master in the end.”

Lilia then walked forward, his eyes gazing at the widescreen of the colosseum where the camera still showed the two masters of the Cardinal Beasts conversing.

“...Why did you go so far and back for her fa-, Lilia-senpai?”

Silver had asked of the question once, out of curiosity, but Silver decided to repeat it again with this new information.

His father never gave Silver a clear answer to why beyond the fact that he felt that the Ramshackle prefect needed it because the Headmaster refused to give her that help beyond the bare minimum.

“...It is the least that I can do for Kaname.”

Malleus, Sebek and Silver watched Lilia smile, his eyes melancholic and solemn as the older fae uttered out the name of his old friend.

______________________________________________________________

“Lilia, that rascal…” On the throne, the olden fae let out an exasperated sigh once she saw the White Tiger through clairvoyant magic, facing off the Blue Dragon.

“...So that little girl is Kaname’s granddaughter.”

The fae’s lips curve to a grin.

The queen internally mused, would this child be anything similar as her grandmother?

A too idealistic yet optimistic fool whose friendliness towards the supernatural earned her a favor of many?

“Perhaps a visit to Night Raven College can be arranged in a few days. I wish to see how Malleus fares as well...”

______________________________________________________________ 

A pale man with blue locks had his eyes locked onto the wide-screen TV in a luxurious room, his eyes registering what he had just seen and heard.

“Kaname... that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long while.” He murmured.

“What do we do now, Wilhelm?” His partner, a small black land turtle, pondered.

“Hmm, I suppose a little visit to Sage Island won’t hurt. Our diplomatic duties in the Shaftlands at the moment are done anyway.”

______________________________________________________________ 

The sound of scattered and fallen utensils resounded the dining booth.

“Kalea, what’s wrong!?”

The individual, a blonde haired, caramel skinned girl had her attention firmly on the phone broadcasting the live stream, ignoring her other companions.

The vermillion parakeet perched on her shoulder inquired. “Lady Kalea?”

Kalea did not pay any heed as she registered and take in the sight she saw and what she heard.

The masters of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger have showed themselves to the world.

“I need to call Master Wilhelm about this...” She murmured with a smile of anticipation curved her lips.

She needs to meet with her fellow masters of cardinal beasts soon.

______________________________________________________________

Anonymous A: Hey is whatever happened in the last legs of the VDC legit?”

fireflower02: Nope, it’s not fake. It’s real. I got a friend studying in RSA and he was there when he saw it all go down. He even gave me live updates over it.

crystallize: Same, my friend’s in NRC and he told me the details of what happened there.

arize: Dude, I was there in person, that magical energy leaking off was off the freaking charts!

Anonymous A: For real?

Anonymous B: Yeah. Who would’ve known that this super powerful Mythical Creature had been hiding this whole time and that the Magicless underdog kid of NRC is the master to one of them?

Anonymous C: Not just that, apparently her grandma used to be the master of her current familiar based on the conversation between the two Cardinal Beasts.

Anonymous B: Damn.

Anonymous A: You make it sound like she’s an Isekai protagonist.

Anonymous C: Apparently, that’s one of the speculations about her origins in NRC, kid’s subject to a hell lot of rumors since her first debut in that interdorm exhibition match. Most of them being baseless actually.

crystallize: Seriously, just who the hell is the kid’s grandma anyway?

______________________________________________________________

Above the skies, deep in the clouds, the King of the Cardinal Beasts stirred.

Still deep in slumber, but soon to wake from his dreamless sleep.

All while a storm is brewing amongst the mortals.

______________________________________________________________

This is going to get a bit long but here I go.

Yes, this was what I was planning in regards to the Natsume Yuujinchou inspiration on Yuu (Rei) and Shiro.

Yuu (Rei)’s dead grandma is basically a more benevolent and adored Natsume Reiko to Yuu (Rei)’s Natsume Takashi back when she’s alive.

Shiro is always meant to be the Nyanko-sensei to Yuu (Rei)’s Natsume.

Now Yuu (Rei) officially went from “Irrelevant magicless student turned technical magician” to “VERY relevant, master of one of the Cardinal Beasts, potential political ally, relative of a royal family’s friend, CAN’T BE KICKED OUT UNLESS YOU WANT POLITICAL BACKLASH” for Crowley.

Irony at it’s finest.

And yes, this was what led to the events of “you lose at zero trust”. Crowley tries to make amends because he only realized now that he fucked up big time with Yuu (Rei) because she kept way too many things from him now, added onto the fact that she is now officially very relevant to the world of Twisted Wonderland now.

Only it backfired because Yuu (Rei) had lost all trust in him by that point to consider or accept that he started to care after leaving her be for so long, plus the fact that he still treats Yuu (Rei) as if she’s the canon MC, your regular joe and jane who got brought out to the middle of nowhere and would rather go back home instead of learning about Yuu (Rei) the individual.

Crowley choosing a really bad timing to try and make amends isn’t really helping his case either.

If it’s any other time, Yuu (Rei) wouldn’t have snapped as badly as she did in “you lose at zero trust”, and she may still give Crowley a chance, but Crowley blew it up completely by picking a bad timing.

So yeah.

I wanted to write something like this with a Twisted Wonderland twist for the mythical Four Gods so this is also what makes “black or white” a complete AU from canon.

This is also going to be connected to what I mention a while back, that Bravely Default is a huge inspiration Yuu (Rei)’s story.

(Bravely Default spoilers ahead) 

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

To sum it up, Crowley is to Yuu (Rei), the Airy to her Warriors of Light.

In Bravely Default, Airy is introduced as a supporting character who help the heroes. However, getting to the climax reveals that Airy, who is based on the typical RPG helper fairy, is actually working for the true villain of the game and is manipulating the heroes (and the player by extension) for her plans.

The end of Pomefiore in “black or white” would be what I consider as the turning point.

At any rate, Crowley is the Airy to Yuu (Rei) that he wants to manipulate and get something out of Yuu (Rei)’s presence but ultimately couldn’t get that now that Yuu (Rei) had grown too important to Twisted Wonderland at large.

(Bravely Default spoilers end)

Also:

Wilhelm and Kalea are new OC’s who are involved in the Cardinal lore and Yaolan too.

I’ll be posting about them soon.

Anyway, that’s all for now!

[smilingangel582]

Horimiya pieces are the cutest!! Trust me I watched them too late until someone released a video of Yanagi being tickled hehehehe

Anyway, I'm leaning on to the boys' hang out with Tooru, Kakeru, Shu, and Izumi... tho I love to use their first names... their last names seem more familiar.

Anyyywaay I'm a total lee!Miyamura, teehee

Get Izumi~?

The cake is excellent. Miyamura Izumi thought as he began to munch through his fork. Sengoku Kakeru brought in this cake for them and he couldn't help but wonder...

Did he invite them or they barged into his humble home?

Only they knew.

What felt like a minute later Tooru Ishikawa spoke up, "Hey, Miyamura... you sure eat cakes a lot"

Hearing this, he tilted his head "I do...? I mean I like them but... I never eat that much though"

Shu Iura's boisterous voice broke through to them now, even Sengoku winced at that rattling tone. "Heeeee? Is that so Miyamura? How come you don't grow any muscles??"

"E-eh?" Miyamura felt a poke to his side from a very curious Iura. He slides away towards Sengoku now, who was peacefully eating his final piece.

Ishikawa said with a sheepish smile, "Now, that's not something you say to a person's face, Shu."

"But... isn't he and Sengoku the smaller types... I can understand the president but Miyamura??? He's eating his third now"

Surely, even Ishikawa caught on to that. Much more than that, it's pissing him off that someone can actually not gain weight like an average person. Still in a playful way he leaned over Sengoku to reach and, he poked Miyamura back with ulterior motives "Shu has an idea definitely..."

"Guhuys," he moved away from them both to have his back against the wall... literally.

"You know what I'm thinking?" Iura grinned menacingly, finally catching up to the idea. Sengoku remained still, oblivious to the playful banter.

"Yeah, Shu..." Lowering his voice, he pounces first at Miyamura, who yelped at the sudden action."Tickle attack on Izumi!"

"Yeah!"

Miyamura's never been a victim to tickles, but still Hori has a strong sense of devotion to make him flustered through this tactic. Now he was being cornered by his own guys, man... everyone has lost their sense of delicacy.

"Gahahaha wahahahahait... ahahaha Ihihihishkahahahahawaa kuhuhun?? Ahahaha nohoho"

"Miyamura's actually giggling like a middle school girl?" Iura said it out loud that he suddenly got flustered and shrieked. "Nahaahaa cuhuhut it ohohout stohop teheheheasing mehehe"

Miyamura's bubbly laughter did startle everyone, including Sengoku, who had paused his current peaceful affairs only to take a look at their play fight.

"Man, is this the first time he laughed like this?" Iura snickered now, gesturing to their victim, being vigorously interested in tickling his ribs. This drove him mad, obviously. He curled to the side to stop Ishikawa getting his stomach but to cover one thing he exposed the other. If only he was immune to sensitive ribs.

"Hey try teasing him Shu"

Ishikawa really knows how to make Miyamura lose his nerves, especially now. He internally had a revenge plan for him first.

"Miyaaamuraaa~ tickle ticklee!!!" Iura's loud teasing made him blush more and he could only embrace his midriff with pure intent of avoiding most of his spots tickled.

"Hehehehe wahahahait juhuhust ahahaha minuhihihiteee ahahahaha guhuhuys!"

They did the opposite, in fact.

"You're awfully skinny," the purple haired guy murmured prodding his hips "I can feel your skeletons here"

"Whahahats thahahat suppohohohose to mehehehehEAHAHAN AHAHAHA WAHAHAIT!"

He actually forgot Sengoku for a moment! Miyamura cursed at that.

"Ohhh nice Kaicho, get him good! (President)" Iura sneered."We'll need more hands to handle this guy"

Miyamura felt his weakest spot, under his arms, being victimised by a curious red head.

"Ahahahaha SEHEHENGOKU I WIHIHILL KILL YOHOHOU!" He curled further against Sengoku's lap to avoid any attention to his worst spots.

Usually, a death threat from Miyamura can make his blood run cold until it comes out with giggles like these. It's hard to take someone cute, seriously. Sengoku smirked now not slowing down for any reason.

"I doubt you will, at least right now, but the price is worth it," he stated, and actually laughed at how Miyamura giggled contagiously when he began to gently flutter his fingers at his neck making him squeal loud, "Sorry but your voice is so high pitched I can't tell if your actually the same Miyamura that tried to hit me back then..."

"Riiiight, like a little girl!"

Iura is the worst tickler, that is Miyamura's helpless thoughts as he felt the green haired guy immediately grab his knees, which were ticklish unbeknownst to himself.

"Ahahaha ehehenough plehehehease!"

"Honestly" Ishikawa poked him rather than wiggle his fingers "All you gotta do is tickle him like this and he won't be much of threat, president" with that he began to wildly play Miyamura like a piano driving him up the wall.

Although it was a joke, Sengoku did find it intriguing that he was right. He couldn't believe a little tickling is all that it takes for Miyamura to yeild like this. He actually considered this factor well.

Ishikawa said after some time, "Saaay~, how about we make him say it"

Others looked at him, surprised but enthusiastic about what he had in mind.

Briefly stopping Miyamura got a well-deserved break until a curt discussion is being plotted against him. He felt freedom temporarily and decided to crawl away to at least hide in the bathroom, although he couldn't go that far... he felt a particular strong grip on his ankle, spinning him on his stomach and a weight on his back.

"OI! Get off meee!"

Ishikawa was on top. He sighed now, one, to his releif since he wasn't at the risk of having his tattoos exposed but also... he didn't feel entirely releieved knowing he was the one who knew all his weak spots, "Ne, Miyamuraa~ say you love Hori, and we'll stop"

Hah? Miyamura's thoughts stopped with his heart that had been running this whole time.

Blushing from the tips of his ears, he was glad he was in another position. Covering his face he shook his head with a whisper out embarrassment.

"I... c-can't... its... um"

He squeaked when he felt a slow finger dragged up from his back. That's the grieving part of having Ishikawa tickle him. It was his death spot as Ishikawa knew since the beginning.

Those hands skittered very effectively, making Miyamura buck around wjth giggles though he had not enough strength in him, "Gohohoho to hehehehell ahahaha yohohou guys knohohow ihihit tohoho"

"Izuuumi~, what's the password?" Ishikawa's tease sing song tone matched with the occasion fluttery touched on the small of his back now.

"Ahaha! Nohohot thehehere ahahaha leheheave my lohohower bahahahack aloneeee!"

"No, so say it!" He pinched, and that made him gasp to muffle a squeal.

He felt the others trying to give him even a harder time by grabbing his feet and tickling the arcs. He didn't expect this tickle fight to be one sided from the get go.

Alright, he can't take it.

"Ahahaha fihihihineeee STOHOHOP!" He banged his fist on the floor as a sign of limit.

'Saaay it, " all three guys taunted him in unison, and he snapped with another stream of giggly panic as they wiggled their fingers on cue too.

"I LOVE HORII!"

Pause, he blushed more like a tomato and covered his humiliated face with a slight high pitched whine. It made the guys laugh and ruffle his hair for his bravery in saying that.

They, as promised, released him. Breathing heavily both from the attack and the embarrassment, he was helped by Ishikawa, who was the menace to begin with.

Still, he was glad Hori wasn't here...

Wait...

Although he said it to them... he noticed a certain snicker from Iura. "Can't wait to send this to Hori!" He was fiddling a certain video on his phone, and that's definitely that video!

Miyamura cried out now with grabby hands, "Aaaaaahhhhh, Yametteeee (stoopp)! Give me that, Shu!"

Sticking his tongue, the mischievous green eyed guy lifted his phone away from Miyamura. "Noooo, waaay Izuuumi -ack Ahahaha, Ohohoii stohohop, thahahat!"

Miyamura became offensive to get the phone and tickled Iura. At that, Ishikawa chuckled, "How about round two? But president, please allow me to make the pleasantries"

"W-whaat?? Ahahaha ohohoiii stoohohop!"

Soon it became an all on out tickle war at Sengoku's House. Needless to say, Hori somehow did receive the video of Miyamura tickle-confessing.

Flustered at first, she was somehow motivated to use similar means to get him to say that. Her dark aura activated that sent a certain chill down Miyamura's spine as they were getting ready to sleep later that night.

"What's wrong Miyamura?" Sengoku asked first.

He shivered now, clutching his shoulders together at the cold blizzard he felt now, "For some reason, I felt a murderous chill from someone..."

"Best you be on guard from now on" Ishikawa stated with a grim smile... already putting his bets on Hori.

HELP WHY DO I SEE SO MANY ANGST FICS EVERYWHERE?? GUYS STOP?? COME ON, THIS ISNT HEALTHY??

*ahem* anyway—

Family had many interpretations, Aiden learned. Family could be warm and sweet and comforting, but family could also be cold and cruel and a waste of time.

He didn’t have a need for his mother’s warm smile or his father’s comforting hugs. He didn’t want their affection or approval. Why should he need anything from them when all they’ve done is distant themselves from him?

Family meant cold meals and awkward dinners. Family meant empty houses and quiet rooms. Family meant missing any and all of his award ceremonies.

Family meant nothing to Aiden.

Sometimes, though, when the walls felt like they were caving in and the silence was too loud, he wondered what it would be like to have a family that cared.

Would his mother make him a warm breakfast with a smile on her face? Would his father pick him up from school and ask about his day? Would they care enough to love him?

It wasn’t good to dream. Aiden was well aware that dreaming about a better life would only sour his mood more. It didn’t help that he wanted a family, one that cared. He wanted to feel something other than the aching cold in his bones.

After a while, though, he learned to stop wanting. Wanting led to dreams of the impossible; to days where he felt like a stranger in his own skin. So he stopped wanting.

Instead, he pretended. He smiled and laughed as if nothing was wrong. He dyed his hair and put on eye contacts and stopped feeling like a stranger to himself. Nobody saw the broken boy inside him. Nobody knew who he truly was.

And he wanted to keep it that way.

Ben made things difficult. Ben gave him things he thought he’d never get. He gave him company, patience and love. Ben cared about him. Ben asked about his day; he listened when Aiden talked about his interests. It was almost surreal.

Ben gave him purpose and he was thankful. No, grateful. Smiling was easier with Ben around and laughing felt less forced than usual.

Then they moved and Aiden finally understood what a family was. He laughed and smiled and joked with his friends and almost forgot about the loneliness inside of him. They made living easier. And even though the phantoms weren’t ideal, Aiden was sure he’d never trade this for the world.

who wants to hear about my au where i turned shuu tsukiyama into an scp

[gunkbaby]

i think abt shuu as a child. i imagine he was a nature lover - an animal lover. i think he must’ve been homeschooled, and when he was not being tutored, he was outside. i think of him picking wildflowers to make ugly bouquets and giving them to people he loved. i think he must’ve spent time with his horses, more than his lessons - i think maybe he could stare at them for a while and maybe feel calmer. i think of him sitting next to his father’s dogs and pretending he was one of them. I i think of him seeing a rhododendron bush for the first time as a child - seeing it tower over him and feeling a divine kind of love that was unfamiliar and new. i think of him, alone, going out and making a small handbook of his own - full of pressed flowers, the identifying features of every flower within his vicinity. in summer, going out for hours, finding ponds to stare at, counting the pond lilies and keeping tadpoles to watch them grow up. growing his first ever plant, watching it flower and feeling some kind of pride over it. beach holidays spent rock-pooling, looking at a beautiful shell and seeing a crab is inside - for the first time, realising it is not just a pretty shell, but a home too. watching a tree come to fruit and understanding it is a god he can never touch, yet the craving doesn’t leave him. not ever.

i can’t separate him from this idea of nature - of this idea of him being wound up in it. maybe it’s just my personal, selfish, projection onto him, because i don’t know a childhood that wasn’t mine, but for me, i think he was so lonely, and when you are a disparately lonely child, when you come to grow up and realise that you might not quite blend with your own kind, you understand subconsciously that nature is god and this god will always have a place for you - that this god is the only thing that will not consider you alien, that nature’s indifference is the purest love you will ever experience - and that is why i think he might be like that. but as always, i might be wrong.

FRIENDS: Itori; Renji Yomo

LOVER: Uta

FAMILY HISTORY: The Hayashi are direct descendants of the founder of the Hayashi clan, Hayashi Razan, formerly known as Hayashi Nobukatsu, who also founded a clan school in the 1700s, which is nowadays a Confucian temple in Tokyo where the sisters’ parents often took them over the years. They raised their children in the Confucian philosophy, aiming to instil in them ancestor worship and ghoul-centered virtues for living a peaceful life. A phrase that they told the two girls often was “Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you.”, which is the golden rule of Confucianism.

They are the great-great-great granddaughters of the 10th (and last) Daigaku no Kami, Hayashi Gakusai, formerly Hayashi Noboru, head of the temple Yushima Seidō in Tokyo in 1867. He died 80 years before Junko's birth and was the first to have a child with a ghoul, in 1860, unknowingly at first but with his Confucian philosophy, he eventually accepted her true nature as he loved her dearly. They set a trend in the family and their children married and had children with ghouls but hid their nature well and were very peaceful, so they never drew any unwanted attention to themselves. The Hayashi sister's father was first married to a human before meeting their mother and having them. He fell in love with a young human woman and tied the knot with her in 1955. She fell pregnant but the pregnancy killed her; she died basically eaten from the inside by her baby who didn't survive either and his wife and son died in 1957. He became greatly depressed after that, spending his days at the temple or at the graveyard until his good friend, whom he had gone to college with, the heir to the Tsukyama empire, Murimo Tsukiyama, offered him a job at his father's company.

He began working there in the early 60s and from then on, he didn't interact with human much and was often thought to be snobbish as he basically ignored and disregarded them. In 1978, he met a 23-year-old young woman, also a ghoul a she began working as a front desk attendant at the company he worked at. Despite being twice his age, the two grew closer and becama couple in the early 1980s, having their first child in 1986, a daughter, Junko. By then, he was a higher-up at the company and could provide for the family on his own so his wife decided to quit her job and become a stay-at-home mom. To her, her child was the most beautiful thing she could ever have in her life. That is why she named her “pure child”. The couple would often be invited over at the Tsukiyama manor for diner, and they presented their first child to them, a few months after she was born. As a child, Junko started displaying traits and behaviours that her parents for some reason overlooked. She never felt any guilt or remorse over eating human flesh and never thought it was strange to like the sight of blood. When she was 7 years old, her mother got pregnant again and gave birth to her younger sister, Riona and the arrival of this baby really forced their parents to admit to themselves that something was wrong with their eldest daughter. She wasn’t the pure baby they thought they had. Junko had a strong dislike for her sister from the start. She thought she looked weak, and viewed her as an enemy from the start.

As a child, Riona looked up to her sister and idolized her, worshipping the ground she walked on and following her around which annoyed Junko but her sister kept coming back even when she pushed her away and she realized she could do whatever she wanted with her so she made her do things for her, treating like a pet rather than her little sister. She was often told by her parents to be nicer to her sister but she was pretty convincing and always managed to get them on her side. When Riona was 6 and Junko 13, she pushed her sister down a flight of stairs and because they're ghouls, they heal quickly so she would do it multiple times a week, leaving enough times for her to heal before their parents saw it and doing it again. When she was 15 and Riona 8, one of Junko's classmates, whose younger brother was Riona's classmates, bullied Riona. Junko didn't take kindly to her toy being used by someone else so she got into a fight with the boy, breaking his nose and biting off his earlobe with her teeth. He was sent to the hospital. The Tsukiyama helped sweeping the whole thing under the rug and the boy was expelled while Junko was pulled out of school by her parents and began being homeschooled by her mother. One evening that same year, she hunted down the boy and stalked him and cornered him in an alleyway where she tear off his tongue so he couldn't scream and began torturing him, eating him alive and disemboweling him.

Around the same time she began hearing about things happening in the 4th ward and thought it sounded pretty cool and entertaining. There was a ruthless gang that basically ruled the area. She wanted to know about it and see it for herself so she tried to find a way to get their attention. She was from the 20th ward and no one had ever heard of her there so the moment she stepped there and began hunting there, she stuck out like a sore thumb and became a target of the gang since it was their hunting grounds. That's also when she was first called the Chimera as no one ever told her it was strange for a ghoul to have two kagunes. Until then she had no idea. The rumour of a "chimera" ghoul hunting in the 4th ward spread quickly because she would attack other ghouls but leave them alive so it could get to the gang members and leader. After the second attack, she also began cannibilizing the ghouls she attacked, eating flesh from their thighs, arms and bellies. It tasted gross compared to human meat but it was fun to her and she kept doing it. By the time Uta finally caught up with her - it took a few weeks because during the day she was in the 20th ward and no one knew so at first he thought people were fucking with him and he murdered those telling him there was a chimera ghoul and he shut them up saying it didn't exist and he thought it must have a lone ghoul attacking people and ghouls at night -, she had attacked and cannibalized half a dozen ghouls and almost ate and killed twice as many humans.

They faced off one day and showed to be of equal strength until she showed her two kagunes which shocked the gang members and only further picked Uta's curiosity. No one had ever seen a chimera ghoul. There she met Yomo, who was the one to step in and put an end to the fight when it was clear neither Junko nor Uta was going to prevail and he talked Uta into allowing Junko to join the gang. She became a member that night and didn't go back home which got her parents incredibly worried. Her mother was worried for her eldest daughter's safety while her father was more worried for the humans, and other ghouls, of wherever she had ran off to. Riona was only 9 and didn't really know what was going on. Their father spoke with the Tsukiyama patriarch, and his old friend, Mirumo and they sent men working for their organization to look for Junko. The orders were clear: look for her, find her whereabouts but DO NOT engage. She was young but they knew she was ruthless and a chimera which already made her a threat, even to older ghouls.

A week later, it was brought to Mirumo's attention that a chimera ghoul was wrecking havoc with the 4th ward gang. He asked them to confirm if it was Junko and they did; it was her, and from what they were told, she was close to the gang's leader and right arm. Her mother desperately wanted her daughter back and asked her husband to find a way to bring her home but Mirumo and him decided against it and left her to her own device, thinking that, eventually, she would be caught by the CCG and they would put an end to the threat she was but less than a year later, as Junko turned 17, her mother ventured in the 4th ward. By then, the CCG was actively searching for the ghoul they had nicknamed "the Chimera", alrealy labelled a SS+ ghoul, having no idea it was a teenager who. They knew of her cannibal tendencies and speculated she must have a kakuja as well though there was yet to be a report of her using it in combat. By then, her Rc cells level was SO high that her kakugan couldn't be turned off anymore.

Her mother was brought to Uta and Junko one night after letting herself be captured and she pleaded with her daughter. The latter turned a deaf ear to her mother's words and began attacking her, activating her kakuja at some point, shocking her mother. She destroyed her body to the point her mother had to crawl on the ground to move. She also crushed her spine, completely losing it. That evening, her father noticed his wife's absence and instantly knew where she must have gone off to. He went there with a few other men and found Junko's murdering her own mother. She didn't listen to him as he tried to talk to her, her kakuja having already gotten to her too badly and she murdered, on her own, her father and his detail. When CCG agents showed up, the gang members either managed to flee or were killed. Yomo and Uta watched the fight from a rooftop because Uta refused to leave and if he couldn't fight he was gonna watch. Junko's face was already kind of covered by her kakuja and the fight lasted half an hour but she killed the special agents and fought until exhaustion where she just collapsed to the ground and was picked up by Yomo. The fight and use of the kakuja had taken a toll on her body and mind and it took a while for her to recover.

The gang lied low for the next year or so. Riona was 10 when the massacre of the 4th ward happened and was taken in by the Tsukiyama and raised alongside Shuu and his cousin. Meanwhile Uta and Junko got into a relationship. She controlled her kakuja better too but at Yomo's advice, rarely used it, almost never really. By the time the trio entered their early 20s, the gang was no more and they kind of settled down. By the time they were in their mid 20s, Uta now had his mask shop, Yomo began working and helping the Anteiku and their friend Itori had her bar. Junko lived a carefree life, staying home, sometimes being a special guest at the Ghouls' restaurant. She was almost royalty among the Ghouls for the rarity of her condition, a chimera ghoul who also had a kakuja, but she was also greatly feared and people treaded lightly around her and being Uta's muse. She also struck a deal with the Anteiku, promising not to cause another massacre in any other ward and they thought she realy held up her end of the deal but really she was a member of the Clowns with Uta.

PERSONALITY : Like her sister and Uta, she has a very nice way of speaking and seems friendly when you meet her but the smile on her face quickly becomes creepy. She is very manipulative and a great liar and doesn't show remorse. She used to abuse her sister when the latter was a child, manipulating and gaslighting her. She lacks empathy and doesn't care about anyone but herself and is unfazed by most things. As a teenager, she was savage and sadistic and liked to see other ghouls fight each other - the fights were always very violent - and she showed to be brutal and ruthless, torturing someone for the first time when she was just 14, before eating him alive. It was fun to her.

Like Uta, she is quite hedonistic and sadistic in nature, which is probably why they got along so well and grew closer quickly, feeding off each other's inner chaos. Despite all this, she can show concern for others, though you gotta take it with a grain of salt. She shows genuine concern for Uta, for example when he fights Yomo. She had fun watching the fight but was very worried about him at the end as Yomo carries him on his back. She also sometimes shows concern for her sister, which does not erase the fact she abused her, but for example, the first human she ever tortured and ate was a boy that bullied Riona in junior high school and there are times when she fought with other ghouls, Junko would watch, until she was no longer entertained which happened when her sister got hurt. She would instantly step in and brutally kill the other ghoul.

Her relationship with Uta was ironically the least toxic of all the relationships she ever had - though being the only romantic one - because Uta and Junko see themselves as equal and never abused each other but their relationship was quite peculiar but it worked for them. Uta had a sort of eye fetish so when she played with her victims and then killed the, she would pluck their eyes out with her own fingers and bring them to Uta. She sometimes bit his lip when they kissed, just to taste his blood and they also sometimes bit flesh off each other, basically eating each other which aroused them.

Unlike Uta, she didn't develop this personality because of traumas or hardships she might have gone through in her childhood or things she witnessed, because her family was rather well off, though not wealthy like the Tsukiyama. She was just born like that and it got worse when her sister was born which seemed to be the trigger for her violent and abusive tendencies. She actually suffers - it doesn't really feel like suffering to her - from antisocial personality disorder. Because of the disorder, and the fact she remains undefeated among ghouls, she never learns from negative experiences and remains the same. Only after Uta kind of changes his views of the world does she question her behavior. She agrees to let others support her and though the lack of actual empathy remains, she manages her condition better and improved her behavior and her relationship with Riona and she reduced the harm she put her through.

APPEARANCE : Junko is a beautiful woman to the point it is almost creepy and the smile that always stretches her lips is just as scary and intimidating. In Tokyo Ghoul, she has mid-back lenght hair. In RE, and the time skip, her hairstyle has changed, adding bangs similar to that her sister had in S1 & 2 (her sister actually started letting her bangs grow out when Junko got hers) and her hair now reached the very bottom of her back. She also has tattoos all over her body, like Uta (see post time skip pic, she got them in her mid 20s)

Junko always dresses in black and her regular clothes are a turtleneck, with long sleeves, black pants and she always goes out with sunglasses to hide her eyes because her kakugan is constantly on (Because of her chimera nature, her RC level was naturally higher when she was born but her inability to turn it off came about when she started actively cannibalizing and stopped eating humans altogether - funfact: Uta greatly enjoyed/enjoys watching her fight and eat other ghouls). At home she always wears a black, kimono-like robe, with of course nothing underneath. It goes on to show how provocative she wants to be in private, because she is also dressed like that when people run into her when coming to see Uta. It amuses her to see them being embarrassed and awkwardly try to keep looking at her face. And, really, she couldn't be bothered to get dressed for any other reason than having to go outside.

LOVER: Shuu Tsukiyama (to whom she's actually engaged in Tokyo Ghoul, gets married the year before RE, gets pregnant by the 4th season and gives birth to their son in the first year of the time skip, their son is already 6 after it, when he was around 4, they welcomed their second child, another son. // unlike them, Junko has no desire of ever having children and neither does Uta)

PERSONALITY : The Confucian philosophy greatly influences Riona's character. She comes off as a gentle and friendly young woman. She always has a sweet smile stretching her lips, and seems efortlessly elegant. She's also actually nice, caring and trustworthy and even though she is Shuu's fiancé, and Junko's sister, she's not manipulative and deceiving at all but that doesn't mean she's an open book either. People she interacts with and befriends always feel like they know her and easily see through her when they really don't. She's stronger than she lets on, though still weaker than the likes of Junko or Uta, for example.

She's also very selfless and puts Shuu's needs before hers. The latter had poor control over his emotions, with intense outbursts or "meltdowns" and she was always the one who had to deal with him. She showed great patience in those moments. He would always then gets to his knees and cry, his arms around her waist. She wouldn't react to him until he stopped and would just stand there.

In the early days of Tokyo Ghoul, she was pretty much like this already though she was less confident but again, she never showed it. During her adolescence, she was more self-conscious because she wasn't sure that the feelings she had for Shuu were reciprocate and she also felt unworthy of him reciprocating her feelings because she felt inferior to him because though she lived in the Tuskiyama's manor, she didn't feel like Shuu's equal. His father had only become her guardian since she became an orphan after her parents' murder and despite the ancient history of her family, the wealth they might have had had been watered down through the generations.

At the time, Shuu had trouble understanding other people's emotions - he viewed their only human friend, Chie Hori, as a pet - but he did care about Riona as she was one of the only people he valued. Knowing this made her feel better and realize he had actually always viewed her as a friend and equal. They even began dating when they were around 16 and Shuu's intetions were very clear from the beginning. He intended to marry her and after telling his father of their relationship, Mirumo Tuskiyama betrothed the two teenagers. They married when they turned 18 and began going to college.

Since that time, he wasn't well-liked by their classmates and other ghouls for his kind of haughty behavior and on the contrary, Riona was very well-liked by both classmates and professor and people really wanted to be her friend but she rarely hung out with anyone other than Shuu and Hori.

Regarding her sister, Riona has become quite scared of Junko. When she was younger, she idolized her and basically worshiped the ground she walked on despite the fact that throughout her childhood, she was abused both physically and mentally by Junko but she kept coming back to her. This toxic relationship "stopped" when Junko was forced to leave Tokyo. Riona was 12 or 13 at the time. Even as an adult, Riona is still fearful of Junko and she hides behind the power that's carried by the Tsukiyama name. Maybe the treatment she suffered at her sister's hand is the main reason for her overly selfless and nice personality as an adult. When Junko came back to Tokyo, and let her sister know, Riona became quite paranoid, never feeling at ease - she was right to be on her guards because Junko spent most of her days stalking her when Riona was still in college. It was so much that sometimes, at the end of the day, she broke down in tears, comforted by Shuu, telling her he and his family would keep her safe.

APPEARANCE : Rei is a really pretty young woman, just slightly shorter than her older sister. Her kakugan isn't always on, unlike Junko, and her eyes are grey. She has long black hair and until the end of Tokyo Ghoul season 2, she also has blunt bangs which by the end of it turn into curtain bangs as she bleaches one side of her hair, giving this dual black and white look. During the year before Tokyo Ghoul: RE, her sister cuts similar bangs so Rei ditches hers and let them grow out, regularly bleaching her roots to. She sticks to that look until the 6-year long time skip where she stops bleaching her hair after doing it for four years as it's damaging it and she was pregnant by the end of RE so she stopped. She goes back to plain black hair and most often wears them in a low bun.

Regarding her clothes, in Tokyo Ghoul, her regular outfit consists of a black mao neck jacket with gold buttons and black dress pants, she also sometimes wears a black yukata with flowers or a form fitting black dress when going to the Ghoul restaurant. By the end of Tokyo Ghoul and throughout Tokyo Ghoul: RE, her style seems less elegant. She wears a black zipped hoodie with white kanji on the left sleeve. After the time skip and becoming a mother, she starts wearing blouse dresses.

After the timeskip, she's just 31, while her sister is pushing 40 but when the two are around each other, people mistake the sisters for twins though they are 7 years apart, as they look like they're the same age which is because Rei does not cannibalize other ghouls unlike her sister, who has managed to look almost 10 years younger after exclusively and regularly eating ghouls since her late teens.
