Izumi Rei you literal fucking angel

[notactowa]

quietly obsessed with Taku’s after story drama cd. I can hear towa’s smile in his voice and it makes my heart flutter

!! Slow damage spoilers !!

[postmanlinksbootyshorts]

genuinely so confused as to why rei/towa isn’t more popular in the western fandom. it’s not even bc i prefer it or anything, i’m just so used to how big fandoms tend to gravitate towards certain dynamics that seeing this smaller fandom not take the friends to lovers bait for once is blowing my mind

Day 2: The Quirky Rogue

The next day brings us the superhuman who isn’t supernatural, Takumi Arai!

The free-spirited Takumi comes from a family that is well-aware of the supernatural influence in the world. However, they’ve cautioned Takumi against getting involved with the world he finds so fascinating.

Though Takumi respects his family’s reasons, he has no intention of cutting ties with the supernatural world. In order to keep up with these beings, he has taken up daggers, knives and parkour. Takumi trains hard and excels at these skills so that he can keep up with the “investigations” he undertakes in his spare time.

As a child, Takumi Arai used to play detective games with our dearest MC-chan before she moved away. Now, unwittingly reuniting with his childhood friend in college, he aspires to become a detective that will solve cases for both humans and supernaturals.

“I wanna know everything, see and do everything! But more than anything, I want to solve problems for people - both human and supernatural.”

[stars-n-spice]

Be healthy. What nicknames do Batchy and their partners give each other and for what reasons (Phee calls Tech brown-eyed because of the color of his eyes, for example)?

Hello! I just came off of having a cold, so I hope I stay healthy lol. But I hope you are healthy too dear anon! 🩵 Sorry it took so long to answer! This is such a cute question! I'd been meaning to do little doodles of them calling each other nicknames so here ya go!

Hunter's not really one for nicknames, so he rarely uses them and Jung really only uses a few as well since he doesn't speak much

Echo and Viram enjoy using sweeter nicknames for each other, with Viram using a few ridiculous ones that make Echo laugh every time she calls him one of them

Wrecker and Khea uses nicknames for each other constantly - sweet, endearing, cringey, silly - they use them all because it's fun but also because Khea is someone who is constantly using nicknames for everyone and anyone

Phee is like Khea where she is constantly using nicknames, but the ones for Tech are special and sweet - meanwhile, Tech typically uses very romantic and charming nicknames for Phee like some kind of Victorian lover

Crosshair thinks pet names are kinda stupid so he doesn't like using them - instead he'll use insults (affectionately sometimes) for Tay, with him rarely calling him something like 'babe' - meanwhile, Tay loves using any and all nick/petnames for Crosshair

The nicknames included are both in universe and in a modern setting!

Hunter calls Jung:

Cyare - 'beloved' in Mando'a because Jung is his beloved Taku taupuhi - 'darling/my chosen' one in Māori because he chose Jung to be his partner in the special dynamic they have

Jung calls Hunter:

Darling - because Jung likes the regal politeness of it Hun - short for "Hunter" and a play on words of 'Hon' (which is short for 'Honey') 여보 - means 'honey/sweetheart' in Korean

Echo calls Viram:

Cyar’ika, Love - sweet words of endearment to show how much he loves Viram E ipo - means 'darling' in Māori Taku whaiāipo - means 'my sweetheart' in Māori Nectarine - because Viram reminds Echo of a nectarine (sweet and colorful)

Viram calls Echo:

Love/Honey - sweet words of endearment to show how much she loves Echo Snookums/Cutiepie - silly words of endearment she uses to make Echo laugh Querido - means 'dear' in Portuguese Meu eco - means 'my echo' in Portuguese (because that's what he is)

Wrecker calls Khea:

Mesh’la - means 'beautiful' in Mando'a because Wrecker thinks she's beautiful and he knows she appreciates him using the language of her people Babe/Hon - classic terms of endearment he enjoys using Sunshine/Firecracker - cute nicknames that reflect her enthusiastic and hotheaded behavior Manu iti - means 'little bird/birdie' in Māori because she reminds him of a bird

Khea calls Wrecker:

Ori’cyare/Big Guy - reflecting on some obvious physical attributes of Wrecker, 'ori' means 'big' in Mando'a so she's calling him her 'big beloved/sweetheart' basically Ori’dral - akin to meaning 'big bright, powerful light' as 'ori' means 'big' and 'dral' means 'bright, glowing, strong, and/or powerful' to reflect on him being a guiding light and a source of strength to her Mi vida - 'my life' in Spanish because he's everything to her Mi corazón - 'my heart' in Spanish because he's her wants and desires Papí - basically 'daddy' in Spanish and she jokingly uses it 여보 - 'sweetheart/honey' in Korean

Tech calls Phee:

Honey, Beloved/My love/Darling - Tech loves using any and all super romantic and flowy words of endearment for Phee to show how much he cares and loves her Taku taonga - 'my treasure' in Māori because she's worth everything and more to him and because pirates

Phee calls Tech:

Brown Eyes - for obvious reasons we all know and love Babe/Dear - classic terms of endearment she likes to use because they never fail to make Tech smile Sweetcheeks/Pudding/Muffin/Cutiepie - silly terms of endearment that she loves to use because they make Tech blush and short-circuit

Crosshair calls Tay:

Idiot/Bastard - usually said with a scoff or roll of his eyes (Tay)-Babe - occasionally calls him the classic 'babe' name and will call him 'Tay-babe' either to get something he wants or because he's going, "Tay. Babe." after Tay says/does something stupid Taku whaiāipo - means 'sweetheart' in Māori because Tay is sweet to him but this is something he's only ever call Tay in private

Tay calls Crosshair:

Baby/Babe - classic terms of endearment that he uses a lot Hubby - after they get married, Tay uses this a lot just because he's grateful and proud to call Crosshair his husband Mi cielo - 'my darling/sky' in Spanish for reasons that can be found in this fic in the third chapter! Cariño - 'darling/honey/dear' in Spanish and something Tay likes using because he purrs it and Crosshair always blushes Literally any embarrassing pet name under the sun - Tay likes teasing Crosshair and will say anything to get him to blush or squirm

[diced-sugar]

In an alternate universe where Towa, Taku, and Rei actually did adopt Hayato…

Based on that one line of dialogue where Taku says that they would have to adopt Hayato… this poor baby he is so cute 😭😭 I love you Hayato my son

Background is also from the game obviously ^_^

[ash-wilson-fanpolmamki]

My headcanons: Efude Nurimono.

~~~💙( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )~~~💙

1) Her room is filled with numerous anime merch: on the table and shelves there are figurines with characters from games and all sorts of creative things on the anime theme; in the closet there are many T-shirts with prints of anime characters, as well as other wardrobe items; on the bed there are many pillows with toys in the form of different animals and even there is a dakimakura; The walls are plastered with various posters of backgrounds and characters from anime. The Efude's room is quite spacious: a large bed at the end of the room, a small computer table and many cabinets and shelves for books.

2) Efude is quite friendly — she can find a topic of conversation even with those who don't fumble for anime or who are not particularly talkative. She is also the only person in the art club, and indeed, with whom Borupen has never quarreled.

3) She can often call her friends affectionate nicknames in English — "cinnamon bun", "bunny", "kitty, cat", "sunny", and also often strokes others on the head if they don't mind. She is very tactile and never against hugs; she can kiss close people on the cheek, forehead or on the nose, as well as take their hand.

4) About her food and drink preferences: Efude loves to drink different coffee drinks — starting from regular coffee with milk, ending with cappuccino and macchiato. She doesn't mess around with it, but when he goes to a cafe he always orders some coffee; he also won't give up a strawberry or banana milkshake, but coffee remains the number one favorite. Regarding food, Efude doesn't like something too greasy and bitter, but she is omnivorous. She prefers brownies among desserts.

5) Efude is very good at drawing different poses of people and learning how to make animations. It's not working out very well so far, but Efude continues to watch guides on this. She also tried 3D modeling once, but quickly gave up because she had a weak computer with a bursting folder of drawings (lol). She also knows how to knit and sew — not at a professional level, but quite well.

6) Hyperactive, so in addition to fine arts, she loves martial arts, as well as sports. Efude is on good terms with all the members of these clubs.

7) She is friends with Dora Tamamoto, Kiba Kawaito, Maka Tansei, Shima Shiya, with all the girls in the gardening club and the entire video game club (the only ones she does not communicate with are Gema Taku, for obvious reasons, and Midori Gurin). She lives next door to Sukubi and Shozo, but she still doesn't know them very well. She is also interested in making friends with boys-loners at school:

🫂•Efude thinks Otohiko Meichi is cute, as well as his passion for becoming a cosplayer, and wants to make friends with him, but he constantly refers to business and leaves her company, so they communicate for a maximum of five minutes, no more.

🫂•Efude thinks Toga Tabara strange and always wonders why he wanders the corridors. Once, during lunch at school, they had a good chat about something, although Efude pulled out the dialogue, and Toga just listened with interest. So Efude later concluded that he was a good listener, but not a good storyteller at all.

🫂•Efude thinks Kyuji Konagawa is windy but cool (for some reason she compares him to dudes from anime). Once Efude tried to help him confess his love to Osana and even gave him a keychain with a kitten so that he would give it to Osana, for which Kyuji is very grateful.

🫂•Efude considers Hazu Kashibuchi to be quite talented and is pleasantly surprised by his ability to sew so skillfully. Sometimes they are in complete silence after classes and the club hanging out in a sewing class and chatting together: Efude talks about his ideas to make a couple of cute anime toys, and Hazu, although he does not watch anime, also expresses some thoughts.

🫂•He considers Taro Yamada uninteresting and of the same type, but, nevertheless, Efude is impressed by his well-constructed speech, rich vocabulary and imagination.

8) Her speech is expressive and filled with various diminutive words (for example, surprise — "oh, mommy!", yes it sounds "great")…

9) She is very well versed in the humanities and natural sciences, but poorly in the exact ones.

10) She is a member of many fandoms regarding anime, video games, TV series and movies. There are many groups on such content on her social networks, and she is also subscribed to many Japanese anime artists. She is also very active in the comments under posts on these topics (ah, yes, she always writes with kaomoji and cute emojis ;D).

11) She has many acquaintances on the Internet, including foreigners. Efude usually talks to them about watching anime.

12) Outside of school, he goes to anime shops, comic-con and all that with Mai Waifu. They often meet during the holidays in the city center, have lunch at the Efude's beloved cafe and go to different places.

13) Efude's parents initially did not quite approve of the fact that she would like to become an animator/artist (they wanted to make a doctor out of her), but later resigned themselves and now actively support her. They are proud of her and her success.

14) She doesn't do cosplay, but she would really like to.

15) Her school bag is decorated with key chains and badges with anime characters, which is quite logical. Also, pair of small badges can be attached to her jacket/shirt of her school uniform.

16) She has naturally short hair. They were never long, at most just below the shoulders. Efude gets in the way of bangs, so she always pins it with all kinds of hairpins and a rim. By the way, she dyed her hair twice: the first time in red, and the other time in blue (she left it that way). The natural color was dark brown.

17) She is Japanese, but she has quite a bit of Canadian roots.

18) She has never been fond of music (but Dora advised her a couple of bands that Efude never listened to) and listens only to her favorite openings or anime soundtracks.

19) Efude not a fan of Yaoi and Yuri (wlw and mlm), but has nothing against it. She is also not very picky about shipping characters.

20) Efude has many old and outdated tablets and phones, but many of them are no longer working.

"Your hair is really soft."

"Like cotton, huh?" You chuckle as he gently pulls a detangling brush through your hair.

"No... —he ponders— maybe..."

He thinks for a moment watching the tight coils bounce back every time the brush glides through.

"It's soft because it's wet when it's dry it will not be so malleable... well maybe, I did a hair mask last I washed it, but we're about to dye my hair so I'm gonna put the hair mask on again anyway," you said reaching out towards the counter for all the materials to mix the bleach.

"I don't know how you do it, and so nicely too. Are you sure you want my help to dye your hair? You've done this more than me," Takuma said watching you mix the concoction.

"I was gonna give you a green streak in your hair with the leftover bleach to match with me," you pout looking up at him. "I can't do this by myself taku~"

☆☆

"So cute☆" you smile brightly as Takuma ruffles his head dry in the towel, your own green hair dripping wet reflecting back in the mirror.

"You think so?"

"You look so sexy right now, it's like I claimed you." You laugh playfully, though clearly admiring the lime green skunk stripe on the side of his hair. "My green hair disease is spreading, now everyone will know you're mine."

"You rock it better than me, I don't think I could commit to a whole head of green like you do and make it look good," Takuma says looking back at you through the mirror.

"It's my thing... very me core. I can't wait to style it for my birthday Taku I can't wait!" Excited, you turned your head this way and that to look at the fresh color from different angles, admiring each and every curl on your head enjoying the bit of hang time before you dry it.

"And I'm sure it will be as good if not better than every other hairstyle you've done♡"

[nitrokiraru]

i finished listening to the takutowa drama cd! my thoughts/ig spoilers under the cut

MAN IT WAS SOOOO CUTE N WHOLESOME exactly what i expected. it was a little shorter (? maybe the madatowa one just had more tracks) but the story was sweet about how taku came to terms with himself and the clinic and towa. including some screenshots from the translation credit to yukirayu (also if anybody doesn’t want their translations reposted/screenshotted just let me know and i’ll edit it out!)

this. this was perfect. literally LOVED this towa completely taking advantage of this old man and his new muscles from getting out of fuckin PRISON. he’s so funny

JEALOUS TOWA!!!!!!! HE APPEARS u already heard of old man jealous yandere taku in the vn now get ready for Him. i loved this i love them bickering like a literal married couple BUT WHEN TAKU SAID THAT IN THE FIRST IMAGE I WAS LIKE??? n then i realized oh nobody knows they be fuckin it kinda makes sense but i would’ve been mad/jealous too idk

towa can lie all he want but i know he was jelly i can literally imagine what his facial expression was in this part. he’s such a lil tsundere i love him

this was oddly adorable towa is just like “again :)” and then taku’s just like Huh?.. it gave dmmd bad end

something i realized abt n+c drama cds (or just the dmmd and surodame ones i’ve listened to) they always have some sort of conflict in the middle. like they LOVE the miscommunication trope

my only complaint is that i lowkey wanted it to be longer. i wish we had tracks of towa and taku just hanging around in their appt or something..like i feel like they’re just peak married couple vibes and they could’ve explored that a bit more besides the main plot

but anyways i loved it! i wanna buy the other ones now even though i’m not particularly big fans of the other ships. don’t get me wrong i like all ships there’s just certain ones that give me more brainworms than others

Around 56th minute, Enojun and Yoko started to sing happy birthday to Azakami-kun as it was his birthday recently. Enojun was elated bc the cake and presents that he had prepared in advance had arrived.

Just realised that Enojun goes for a massage regularly.

Also judging from the photo Azakami and Enojun claimed that they are tanned. Are they not? (Bringing out again this picture bc I love this trio infernal.)

Enojun also mentioned that it will be his birthday two weeks after the first episode and wanted Azakami to wear the hat he gave him last year.

Yoko’s voice is so cute when she’s not Amamiya. They recalled the first season’s episodes and promised that the stake of the cases this second season will be higher. Next guest will be Dr. Mofu (Nao Tōyama) on the 10th of November and then Taku Yashiro (Spitz Feier) on the 8th of December. According to their Onsen RonToto Uneven radio show, last episode will be on the 26th of December.

All in all it was a fun one full hour and a few minutes.
