Diabolik Lovers Dark Fate Vol. 3 Chapter of the Last Quarter — Short Story Translation
A short, sweet, and comedic tale about the Mukami brothers being supportive siblings… and nearly committing accidental fratricide in the process. Meanwhile, Yui watches with increasing concern as the disaster unfolds.
Please refrain from using or reposting the translation anywhere without my permission.
[Note: The story is written in Yui's POV.]
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅✮⋆⋅
"Uh...something's wrong..."
Kou-kun groaned as he stared down at the pot.
"Should I help after all?"
"Eve, you mustn't get involved...okay? Just quietly watch over us."
Even though he said that, an increasingly terrible smell was spreading throughout the kitchen. Despite being told not to interfere, I was starting to get a bit worried.
"Maybe it needs some sugar-chan!?"
"Ah!!"
Before I could stop him, Yuma-kun dumped several sugar cubes into the pot, filling the room with a foul stench. I felt a sense of despair.
The whole mess had started when Ruki-kun injured his hand.
"Ruki-kun always cooks for us, so let's all pitch in today!"
And so, Kou-kun's plan of making dinner ended up as disastrously as I had feared.
"...This is...?"
"Well... It's supposed to be curry..."
Kou-kun glanced at me as if pleading for help. When I looked at Yuma-kun and Azusa-kun, they averted their eyes. In short, something horrible had been created. Its color was... to put it nicely, pitch black. After tasting it, Yuma-kun commented nonsensically that it was "bittersweetsalty". Dubbed "Mukami Brothers' Style Curry" it had transformed into a mysterious substance resembling anything but curry. Just by looking at it, anyone would instantly recognize it as inedible.
Yet, Ruki-kun was peering at the plates lined up on the table with a happy look on his face.
"Maybe it's better if we don't eat this..."
In spite of Kou-kun's uneasiness, Ruki-kun scooped up the substance with a spoon and brought it to his mouth.
". . ."
"It's disgusting."
We all shared the same fear. That even though he's immortal, Ruki-kun might die from this.
Despite his words, Ruki-kun's expression suddenly relaxed. We stared at him in amazement.
"R-Ruki-kun...!!"
"Ruki..."
"Ruki...! Damn it! Yer such a...!"
The three brothers, seemingly drained, collapsed to their knees on the spot. Ruki-kun simply watched them in silence as he continued to eat.
And then, afterwards—Ruki-kun was bedridden for three days and nights. Even though Vampires aren't supposed to get sick...
Seeing this, his brothers made a firm vow to themselves. They would never try to cook again.

Idea: Virgil's left eye is green because once pre-canon/pre-aa his form somehow got permanently damaged (kinda like how in Steven Universe their bodies are made of light but if their gem is cracked it can have permanent effects) and his eye was destroyed, Remus used his powers as creativity to heal his friend and because it was him who did the magic the eye turned green.
Back when it first happened Virgil joked "hey if I ever piss you off enough you can take this back," and pointed at the healed eye.
When he left the dark sides Remus had to use the one scrap of self control he has to not go over and do just that, because he could never hate Virgil enough to do that and not regret it
#sanders sides#virgil sanders#remus sanders#dukexiety#could be platonic or romantic idc i just like them together at all#pre accepting anxiety#pre-aa#pre aa#queue#I've actually had this idea for a long time i just haven't posted it til now

me at 14 wondering why i love alice oseman books sm:
me at almost 18 faced with the terrifying reality that i might be ace/possibly aro: ..
#i do think i experience romantic attraction to some extent but it's so inexplicable for me idk??#like i can't really imagine myself in a relationship but i always attributed it to a mix of social anxiety and body image issues#but i also kind of can but it doesn't feel like me like it feels like someone else?? who is also me??#and like i have no basis of what romantic attraction or even a relationship feels like obviously because all i know are my own experiences.#and also every time i've had a 'crush' on someone it goes away once i actually become friends with them#so i can only fixate on like hypothetical people because it's safe and nothing will come of it#but when i actually am faced with a real person i lose interest#i dont fucking know r u picking up what im putting down here??#alice oseman#radio silence#aled last#solitaire#tori spring#loveless#georgia warr

So this:
Leads to this:
Which leads to this:
Which allows vecna to do this:
Right? Right………. So then this:
Leads to this:
Which leads to:
???????????????? 👀👀👀👀👀
Will has had powers.
#will has powers#no - he had powers. he probably displayed them when he got taken in to the upside down. and vecna wanted those powers. so he took them.#this also opens up to the possibility he could get them back somehow. with el it was through memories of her mom when she was born. love.#when she relived her younger self opening the gate for the first time through the power of love#so Will could get his back through strong feelings of love. just saying.#stranger things predictions#stranger things theories#byler#byler tumblr#so the cool kids can find this 😌#I HAVE ANOTHER THING TO SAY!!! Els powers are strong from negative emotions - hatred. anger. vengeance.#but they’re even more powerful from feelings of love - familial and platonic love (mama. hopper. max. etc)#so if Will did show his powers to vecna (accidentally) when he got taken then those would have been from his most common negative emotion#fear#El is anger. hatred. will is fear. anxiety.#so will will get his powers to their fullest strength only with Love. romantic love. feeling wanted. useful.#familial/friend love was something El needed in her life and she against all odds managed to find it#she got the love she desperately needed and deserved (not romantic like the Melvin’s seem to think)#will has all that in buckets. he has friends who love him. the best mom and brother anyone could wish for. but he feels unworthy of love.#feels like all the bad things that happened to him were deserved. so him receiving and accepting what he desperately needs and deserves#will fully unlock his powers - if he has them.#thank you for coming to my Ted talk

I also just finished watching arcane again!! The series is phenomenal-and I was once again reminded I would love to hold hands with Viktor-
Can I request some headcanons for how Viktor would comfort his partner who experiences anxiety? Gn!reader please!!
Thank you for requesting! :DDD
This is my first time writing specifically for Arcane and this character so I hope it’s on character - did my best with the little I skimmed from his fandom wiki for Arcane and from what I remember from the show-
AND YES IT IS A PHENOMENAL ONE HOLY SHIT THE ANIMATION AND THE CHARACTERS AND THE VOICE ACTING ARE????? CHEFS KISS
Personally Vi and Ekko are my favorites- <33
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!!
“It’ll pass soon”
Viktor x reader [romantic]
Summary ; In which you’re anxious, and Viktor always knows how to help you out.
Requested? ; Yes
Warnings ; none, besides small descriptions of physical anxiety - kinda based it on what I deal with myself, but everyone reacts to anxiety differently.
Definitions ; счастье моё (stchastye moyo) - gender-neutral, meaning “my happiness”
Word count ; 554
——————————————————————
Viktor is, first and foremost, a scientist.
He notices things through keen observation, studies them to no end to understand them, and draws conclusions that should be able to help others like himself.
And with those skills, comes observing you.
How you act. What you like and dislike. What makes you comfortable and uncomfortable.
And definitely what makes you anxious.
He knows hextech can’t truly fix that.
He should know, he deals with anxiety himself.
So as a partner and a scientist, he recognizes the signs.
The nervous glances.
The subtle deep breaths you take to calm yourself down. Or at least try to.
Never works. Maybe sometimes on the rare occasion, but not completely.
Then there’s the nervous jitters - maybe bouncing your leg, or running a hand through your hair constantly (if you have the hair type to do it) or running a hand over your face, or shaking your hands out to try and get the shakiness away.
Whatever it is, Viktor recognizes it.
He waits and checks in every so often, just to see if you’re able to calm yourself down first, instead of prying you to tell him what was going on.
When you don’t calm down though, he decides a distraction is probably better to try first.
He shows you the inventions he and Jayce are working on, discusses them with you, tries to see what you think about it. Half of the time that helps you calm down, primarily because you focus on his voice, and also because you love hearing and experiencing his work.
Anxiety is a fickle thing.
So when it doesn’t work out, that’s when he asks you what’s wrong.
“You don’t have to tell me just yet, but I’d like to know whenever you’re ready.”
If it’s really bad, he has you both sit down, and you just lay your head on his shoulder. He rests his cheek against your head and wraps an arm around you, one of his hands coming up to run against your upper arm to ground you there. Breathes slowly until you do it too.
And he waits until you’re ready to talk.
If it’s a sudden panic you just grab onto his shoulder or hand and squeeze it, and he already knows.
Viktor either excuses himself from his work or if he’s talking to someone (normally it’s just Jayce - he understands immediately and spares you a quick sympathetic nod), and lets you lead him to a secluded area nearby and lets you spew your worries and panic to him.
He tells you you’re safe with him.
Reminds you that things would be ok and that with anxiety this is normal.
“It’ll pass soon. I know it doesn’t feel like it but it will, alright? How about this, tell me five things you can see right now.”
“Um - the ground. The tile.”
“Good, good. What else?”
“Your shoes. They’re uh - they’re kind of scuffed, you should get them cleaned.”
He laughs quietly. “What else, счастье моё?”
“The window.” Another encouraging hum for you to continue. “The hexgate outside. It’s glowing, some airship just came through.” Your eyes settle on the person in front of you. “You.”
Viktor smiles at you. “A little on the nose, huh?”
You smile back at him.
He helps you breathe again.
He always does.
#arcane viktor x reader#viktor arcane x reader#x reader#romantic!reader#gn!reader#romantic x reader#kinda just realized now#that#heckinf#all of the characters I write have some small forms of physical touch as a love language and#i think that’s because I’m touch starved myself I apologize AGSHDNFJFNF#SO I THINK ITS THERE FOR THIS ONE TO#anyways also based the anxiety off of what I deal with as I said before so#also jayce seems like an awesome friend despite the politician he becomes so there’s a sliver of that in here as well

i wish i had the confidence and stuff to ramble about verwocky. omg i love them so much . i think they could work very well together, it doesnt even have to be romantic . i just think they could learn a lot from each other…… i have a lot of thoughts about them 🥹 weh
#verwocky#verawocky#OPEN UOUR HEART… to verwocky❤️for me#they contrast each other well#wocky is an extrovert whos kind of headfirst and rushes things a lot. vera is an (extreme) introvert who has hardly been outside at all for#like 7 years. shes full of anxiety snd very quiet. inexperienced with a lot of things#<- vera helps wocky learn how to slow down a bit? take his time with things and he learns to be like. idk more gentle and patient with vera#and people in general too#wocky helps vera experience more things - helps her interact with people more . to be more confident and that not everyone is out there to#hurt her (i also think apollo and trucy help with this)#wocky is vera’s first friend who isnt involved in the whole . you know. all That#and if you wanna see it romantically vera shows wocky genuine affection and isnt in it only for his fortune . wocky is patient with vera#learning to be affectionate and stuff too#i have more thoughts but im getting embarrassed writing all this DONT LOOK AT ME but also do look at it because i want more people to#understand my verwocky insanity#srry for putting all this in the tags im shy#ace attorney

it's just that sometimes you're so... impossibly happy and full of so much incredible joy that you gotta post about it on the internet otherwise you may get on the roof with a bullhorn yknow.
#gav gab#FEELING VERY GOOD ABOUT MANY THINGS RN.......#I LOVE MY WIFE. MY WIFE LOVES ME. WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS AND IT BELONGS TO US.#other option is like... dropping the lonely island 'i just had sex' song into my friends' dms lsdkjfs#and they don't need me to be doing that LMAOOOO#it's not just the sex itself that's not even really the point#(though it's. very very good. and i have now learned some ALARMING stats about straight women in relationships)#(ladies if your husband/bf/partner won't take direction that is a failure on his part frankly)#it's like... idk#intimacy. trust. fun. security. safety. etc. all these things i already had with this wonderful person in my life#and being able to decide together what we want to do and what we want it to mean#building something that's just ours. a life a home a relationship etc.#for all that there's no like. blueprint for marrying someone In A Friend Way#and that can be anxiety inducing#(i felt like my heart was gonna pound out of my chest the first time i brought up maybe kissing my fiancee lskdjfs)#it also means we get to make all the rules#we get to make all of our decisions together in whatever way we want to make them and it means what we want it to#and i think that's one of the really wonderful things about like. qprs and committed platonic relationships etc#and it's something romantic relationships could benefit from too tbh#sex ment in tags

I've been doing a lot of thinking, lately, and I ended up reflecting on my identity a bit, yesterday--mainly through Sherry, since she's my conduit for self exploration and reflection, but specifically in a situation where she's trying to explain herself to Heathcliff.
Specifically, I was thinking about how I experience romantic attraction, and how Sherry--even just based on her source material--is very much some flavor of aromantic and asexual. I don't really use any labels, and neither does she, but that's because I have had negative experiences with them.
Anyway, something about Sherry trying to explain to Heathcliff that she doesn't really feel romantic love is very cathartic to me. I project onto her a lot, so she's maybe had an inkling of romantic attraction once or thrice (one of her little crushes was Hubert, to keep it in line with my canon lore), but it's never gone anywhere, and usually fades pretty quickly.
I feel Heathcliff wouldn't really understand what she means--he'd have a hard time wrapping his head around someone not feeling (romantic) love, especially since he's known that feeling pretty much all his life--but he'd also be the first to defend her from anyone who thinks her lack of interest in romance is "weird." Even if he doesn't completely understand her feelings, he cares about Sherry, and he knows how it feels to be treated differently because of who he is, so why wouldn't he stick up for her?
Like I said above, Sherry doesn't use labels--she simply knows romance isn't something she needs to be satisfied with herself. Yes, she may eventually find someone she feels genuine, long-lasting romantic attraction towards (Heathcliff--much, much later on), but she's come to terms with the fact that, if she doesn't, she'll be okay on her own.
#this feels deeply personal to me ... I hope it makes sense#also I do still love the idea of Heathcliff and Sherry being friends that move towards romantic partners over time#it works well not just for Sherry's understanding of herself but it also gives Heathcliff time to figure himself out post-Canto VI#also this is maybe the first time thinking about my identity hasn't caused a massive anxiety attack and that's comforting#I won't get into detail but I have a bit of trauma regarding labels and identity--it's why those anons I got last year were so distressing#and I didn't exactly get the best support from people I trusted at the time so it just made me feel like I did back during the event--#--that left me with my trauma and the idea I was somehow ''wrong'' for my preferences and feelings#anyway--I tag Heathcliff as romantic but sometimes I feel he and Sherry fall into QPP territory ...#I don't really care to label their relationship to be honest--much like my identity /lh#all you need to know is they're in love with each other#otp: the adventure of wuthering heights ⛈️🔍#r: remind my heart to beat 💢#si: to a great mind‚ nothing is little 🤎#scattered pages

I really like the way boku yaba presents its characters like I’m so used to romance anime presenting the guy/girl love interest as this dreamy perfect person who can do no wrong and is smooth about everything and how everyone gushes about how perfect they are, meanwhile boku yaba doesn’t do that
It’s true that at the very beginning they show Yamada to be the stereotypical Perfect Popular Girl Everyone Loves tm but makes sense bc the story is told from Ichikawa’s POV, we see what he perceives and knows so he believes she’s like that until he (and us) learns she’s actually a silly gal vibing
Neither of them are the dreamy perfect romance interest OR at least not to us bc (to me at least) the point is that we shouldn’t find them perfect, it’s them who should find each other perfect
Also very funny to me that the literal perfect guy who is so dreamy is treated as a rival/threat, great thing to show that girls not always want the perfect guy sometimes they want a small emo edge lord boyfriend
#the dangers in my heart#not an analysis bc it’s dumb as hell just wanted to ramble a bit#also before someone says ichikawa is smooth bc of rizz or whatever#reminder this kid goes through all the stages of grief and has panics attacks before hand#the smoothness comes for a price and that price is constant anxiety#unrelated but this is also why I love romantic killer#they show the guys as dreamy too but the more you watch the more you see they either have issues#or worked through their issues to become better they weren’t born perfect#pls watch romantic killer it’s a really great anime the protagonist is the best girl ever

It's quite deliberate that up 'til now you haven't seen Anton Walbrook and now you see him. I didn't want to see it until the two of them look at each other. Anton had a gorgeous mustache.
Michael Powell on Anton Walbrook in The Life and Death of Col. Blimp, Commentary Track.
#anton walbrook#michael powell#TLADOCB#he is saying that he built the scene around anton's mustache and also that he held the reveal like you would a romantic pairing#until it was most impactful#and it's all about the mustache#which is about 25% of clive's motivation at any given time since edith has says she prefers a mustache#but is clive feeling anxiety intimidation attraction in this moment#YES
