#the premise is that they're bestfriends

[beyondourstars]

[kb-jank]

so I've been rewatching Static Shock because of @bearsspace 's Duke and Virgil art, and I'm not even a season in and its already so clear how good they'd get along.

Like Virgil's story focuses on not only actual racism and systemic issues, but the allegory of race within the bang babies/metahumans. Duke's story also does this with We Are Robin and Robin War; the robins are a group of mostly disenfranchised kids who rise up to protect themselves and their communities while being targeted by cops. WAR also makes direct comparisons to racism/systemic issues.

Besides their stories having some similar themes, they're also similar in the way they interact with their communities directly. (Let me mention here that Duke's mom and Virgil's dad are both social workers). Both Duke and Virgil are able to talk and connect with the people they're saving, and this includes the "villains" they encounter who really just need help (ohoho! another part of their stories connected to systemic issues).

Of course a lot of heroes do this but it's special for Virgil and Duke. Virgil's able to connect and help his foes not only because he's a bang baby, but because the standing he already has in his community. Like he spends a lot of time at the community centre and it means a lot to him. One of the things I really love about Virgil is that if he wants to get info on someone he starts knocking on doors and talking to people. It's special for Duke because not only does a big part of his story centre around bringing a community together to protect itself, but in contrast to the rest of the bats, his whole thing is LITERALLY being in the daylight. Like the whole premise of his character is being a beacon, Duke will always have a connection with the public the rest of the bats can't.

I also think it's really funny how both of them almost immediately become superheroes the first chance they got. Like Virgil's bestfriend is like, "You could be a superhero!" and he agrees instantaneously and does it. Duke's kinda just like, "Ugh, I GUESS I'll join this group of vigilantes if you REALLY want me to!" and "What? You want ME to lead this vigilante group? Aw shucks well SOMEONES gotta do it!" and "Not like being a vigilante is important to me or anything but I will literally let nothing including Batman's trained sidekicks stop me." then he jumps out of a moving cop car off a bridge.

I was literally about to ask for your opinion too on what you think would happen if one of castins one night stands said something like that to celica.I personally thought she would start laughing and she‘s tearing up because she’s laughing so hard 😂 and when she pulls herself together she says „you‘re so embarrassing“and continues laughing (cherry on top if she‘s w friends like the queen or Reyes maybe and she’s like gossiping right in front of her still trying to hold their laughter “she really thinks she‘s something special“) the one night stand gets hella insecure and walks away. Now I realize how off I was because literally what you wrote IS celica she would 100% make them fail in life like that leaving her marks so they beg for forgiveness 😮‍💨🫶🏾

If Queen Ascendant Isolde is with Celica when Castin's ex confronts her, you have to be stupidly brazen to try something when your target is with royalty and THAT ROYALTY JUST HAPPEN TO BE HER BESTFRIEND. Stupid? Brazen? Check, check!

Celica wouldn't laugh without any restraint in public. Not even in this situation. She would just give some cryptic words and then wait until someone important would request her attention. She won't walk away until then or dismiss this ignorant woman.

Now, if Castin's ex was young, ignorant and harmless in her attempt to confront Celica, she would leave the premise with her life and reputation unscathed because all Celica would do is just scold her because her misguided infatuation would jeopardise the peace that they're trying to build.

Now, if a woman comes up to her with malicious intentions and an ambition to steal Castin away from Celica, all bets are off. She'll go scorched Earth so that in the end, that woman will be an example for any of Castin's past lovers.

I'm currently writing a fic about this right now. Got a new character that's gonna be my new punching bag~ Have already planned that some of Celica's friends will bear witness to a game that Celica will verse in.

I'll try my best to post it as soon as I can.

I really really adore the book that my best friend and I are working on. Its one of my works that I absolutely love and am proud of. We've basically mish-mashed a lot of tropes and genres together.

The whole premise of the story is quite basic in a way, its about a bounty hunter tasked to hunt down a rogue android, who is tasked to take down the same bounty hunter. But they end up building a found family with a young centaur trying to find his herd, a wise forest guardian and another mysterious android.

The main character, which is a nonbinary bounty hunter, has the typical Main Character™ backstory. Very basic I know. But then, they barely remember about their backstory. They're suffering from amnesia due to traumatic events they've gone through and as they move ahead in their journey, they slowly regain bits and pieces of their memory.

Anyway, I like the way me and my bestfriend wrote their characteristics, its quite pleasing for me. We tried our very best to avoid "Mary Sue-ing" the characters like any writers should. The characters flaws and negative traits are shown openly.

As for the world building, I must say we did make a pretty good job doing it. It's set on a magical version of Earth, specifically on a continent called Ashborne. This continent is then divided into three divisions/parts (I'll describe them in the most simplest way);

Flaux - futuristic and sci-fi-ish city

Caelume - magical and fantastical forestlands

Lyse - a dystopian and poor city, almost "post-apocalyptical"

Anyway, I'm gonna end my ranting here, I've gone a bit overboard lol xD. I plan on talking about this more soon so heads up if you wanna know more :)

[amane-by-together]

jacket || amane yugi

genre: fluff

pairing: amane yugi x fem! reader

summary: in which [name] borrowed amane's jacket for her to use since her classroom is cold

you know what they say, once you have walked far enough you can't go back anymore, it applies to those who have moved on to old relationships and decided reconcile them thinking it was a good thing.

in [name]'s case, she is far from home yet near to kamome academy. she is about to step into the premises until a realization strikes her. "i forgot my jacket—!"

[name] can feel herself getting worried on how she was going to survive from the classroom version of a refrigerator. thinking about it made her shiver. she can't ask her classmates to lend her a jacket so she must resort to one solution.

asking her bestfriend from another class to lend her a jacket. sure, amane is the kindest person you could ever meet since he's literally a sweetheart when you needed help. then again, wouldn't it feel weird when you're borrowing, especially clothes, from someone who's in the opposite gender?

who cares—borrowing clothes is normal only when you're both friends or dating. but where does amane and [name] land? to the friendzone.

anyways, [name] pulls out her phone from her skirt pocket to text amane to bring his jacket with him so that she could borrow it, she doesn't want to end up as a popsicle at the end of the day. "hey amane may i borrow your jacket?" she types on the text box and hits send.

amane replies back a second later. sure, i'll bring it over, wanna meet by the entrance when i arrive?

[name] releases a sigh of relief that amane is going to bring her a jacket for her to use—to protect her from the harsh coldness of the classroom. "hi [name]-chan, aren't you going upstairs yet?" her friends ask, they're all wrapped up with their jackets that made [name] a little envious.

"uh, you guys go ahead, i'm waiting for someone." [name] smiles nervously while pointing at the ground to indicate that she's standing here waiting for amane.

"oooh?~ your boyfriend?"

"i wish all of us have a boyfriend."

"alright [name], see you in class~" her friends smirk as [name] playfully rolls her eyes at their teasing. although there was already a pink blush on her cheeks. tsuchigomori was walking by and greets [name] good morning which she bowed and greeted back.

"[name]!"

[name] turns her head around to see amane walking towards her while unzipping his bag. "i thought i couldn't find you and there you are right in front of me!" he happily says. "i got my jacket here, i hope you don't get cold." he pulls out the black jacket from his bag and hands it to [name].

"thank you amane-kun, i'll bring it back by the end of the day." [name] holds the jacket in her arms while swaying side by side. "so like we'll meet here again?"

amane nods. "yeah, i'll text you."

sometimes it's edging to think that she and amane are separated in different classes, but that didn't stop their friendship from going on. others might think that they'll forget each other that way but the reason why they haven't drifted apart,

was because the two of them are crushing on each other and that they don't admit it. [name] wears the jacket, the sleeves were longer than her arms and it reaches over her thighs. amane did tell her that this jacket was his favorite one although it fits to him like a glove.

[name] doesn't want to take off the jacket, like at all. she develops an emotional attachment to amane's jacket because it feels comfortable. some of her classmates asked as to why the jacket is too loose on her and she clarified that she borrowed it from her friend, which is a guy.

during vacant hours since for some reason the teacher did not come to class for five hours, [name] repeatedly taps on her phone for some games and she couldn't talk to amane because he has classes. so she was bored.

[name] pulls out a sticky note from her bag, scribbling a note and placing it inside her pockets. then, she takes out a piece of chocolate and tucks it in her pocket—as thanks for amane to lend her his jacket.

she really can't let go of the jacket because it feels comfortable and it feels like amane was hugging her for reals. "lemme guess? it's from that guy from another class?" her friend, yui, teases while wiggling her eyebrows.

"it's not what you think, he's my best friend—there's nothing going on between us." [name] corrects.

"bro that's what you see but i really see you two as dating because one, you're wearing his jacket." yui points out. "two, you guys go on secret meetups when both of you can casually approach each other like friends do."

"and three, we're not misunderstanding your friendship." yui quotes while doing peace signs with her hands. "you're denial that the fact you two probably have feelings for each other that you two think it's a just friends behavior—which is not."

[name] gasps. "the audacity—!"

"i'm just stating facts, dear." yui flips her hair and somehow the aura around her starts to sparkle.

"don't call me dear—" [name] deadpans.

"but if it's your 'bestfriend' you're okay with it?" yui raises her eyebrow and points at the message pop out on [name]'s phone.

hey dear, it's lunch time, make sure to eat your food and don't skip your meals or imma go to ur class and feed you.

[name]'s cheeks turn red, embarrassed that yui was right and that she had a glimpse of their conversation on her phone. "yeah a friend's behavior would be hey broski lets eat lunch together not hey dear don't skip your meals." yui explains with a deadpanned look on her face.

[name] rolls her eyes. "i hate it when you're right."

when it was finally dismissal, amane along with tsukasa waits for [name] by the entrance to get his jacket back. although he was curious about what [name] looked like with his jacket on. "who are we waiting for?" tsukasa asks.

"we're waiting for [name]." amane replies.

tsukasa wiggles his eyebrows. "ohohoho~ i see." so it led to the yugi twins teasing each other until [name] arrives. amane could already feel himself getting flustered like who wouldn't? the love of your life is wearing your favorite jacket and she looks cute in it.

"amane-kun! thank you for lending me your jacket." [name] says between ragged breaths because of running. "you should get this thing washed though." [name] carefully takes off the jacket and hands it to amane.

"you're welcome." amane takes the jacket from her. "hmm i'll probably keep the jacket for a while till mom arrives to get this thing washed."

"okay—ah! i have to go now there's a new episode of an anime that i'm watching! bye amane-kun and tsukasa-san!" [name] announces while running off to the gate to go home.

amane notices a neon yellow note that was sticking out of one of the pockets. he puts the jacket close to him and was surprised that it smells good. he smiles to himself when he takes out the yellow note and a piece of chocolate.

thank you for the jacket dear :>

"did you find something in there amane?" tsukasa asks while trying to see what made his older brother smile.

amane looks at him and chuckles. "it's nothing—" he lied yet it was something more that made his heart pound wildly in his chest.

bonus:

"it smells like soil here." tsukasa complains while walking with amane through a pathway full of grass.

"can't relate—it smells good in my situation." amane brags with a smirk on his face while pressing the jacket near his nose to smell the cologne that [name] applied recently.

"i bet later on you're going to add white in that jacket." tsukasa smirks back at him. "and that you'll release all of the things that you've been holding back—"

"what the fuck—tsukasa!"
