Tokyo Casanova (1983) by Fusako Kuramochi

[kon-konk]

Oh what the fuck is this old man up to? Why so many emojis? Did he put the hearts? This feels like if someone introduced their grandpa to emojis and just set him loose

[passionateseadruid]

ranking this years obsessions I mean darlings on how dangerous of a yandere they would be!

1)Lucifer! I’ve already made an entire fanfic about him being a Yandere but essentially it boils down to, he’d be terrible to try to escape from because there’s no where in the Pride ring to run for a human and it would be even worse for a hellborn because he could easily offer them enough money to never work another day in their life. Plus there’s just something so good/terrifying about the idea of him turning you/Darling into a replacement for Lilith.

2) Apollo from Ginjaninjaowo AKA @ActuallyRea on YouTube and maybe Tumblr. June, if you see this (unlike but still) hi! (Um… I’m also so sorry 🥲) I’ve been following Prism since their Colab with Emirichu where they redrew Tokyo Mew Mew pages in their art styles. (That was actually the video that introduced me to June 😅). I’ve been so Obsessed with Apollo lately that he’s all I think about, day and night, it’s an addiction and the only thing keeping me is June posting on their YouTube account.

I’m going to briefly summarize Prism for the majority of my audience that has no idea what it is. (I make Hazbin Content mostly so I don’t blame them) Prism is a magical girl story June created based on their old High school Tokyo Mew Mew rip off. In a parallel world to our own there is magic and aliens and the town that the story takes place in has been completely cut off by a barrier of darkness that solid matter cannot pass through. On top of that there are these terrifying creatures made of solid darkness called the Absence. Apollo has found a way to fight the Absence and give his community a sense of stability. On top of that he is in charge of the Magical Girl agency called Prism.

I love Prism, and while I adored the original story, the fact that Apollo was the one to spark the whole rewrite has me giddy! I am very excited to see where June takes the story next. If you want to know more about Prism (highly recommended) you can watch this…

So back to Apollo as a Yandere. He would be terrifying! Because not only would his darling (the person of obsession) be trapped in the dome but Apollo (much like Lucifer) would absolutely have the power to get them back to him. Possibly even offering whoever brought them back a position in the agency (it would definitely be a lie but the general populace doesn’t need to know that). There’s also this nagging scenario in the back of my head about him trying to use the Darling to bring back Kynthia. (Kynthia is his wife who died) The absolute devastation that he would be in, and if for a brief moment they did exactly what Apollo wanted… khgfeaeruylgckwuygesuuuaaaahhhhh!

3) Neuvillette! My sweet Neuvillette 💙💙💙💙

Now while he does have a lot of political power, I highly doubt he would use it on his Darling. Tame, respectful, gentlemanly. Definitely arranges for him and darling to be in the same room together all the time. If Darling expresses they’re uninterested in his advances he will (publicly) back off (still watching from the shadows). If(and when) he’s in heat though, that’s a whole different story. Drags Darling into his office and just cuddles them on the couch. He’s wrapped around them so tightly because their presence is the only thing that can soothe his Aching…

soul! Shame on you for thinking something else!

4) Lyney! Genuinely such a gentleman that Darling probably wouldn’t even think he’s obsessed with them. A regular Casanova to the point where one wouldn’t even think his flirting was genuine because he unintentionally does it with everyone. And as for the disappearances of people who have tried to flirt with darling in the past? Well…

A magician never reveals his secrets 😉

From your lovely 'The 'Oh Dear This Got A Little Filthy' Prompt List' 👀 "It's that lacy black pair with the little bows The ones I picked out for you in Tokyo" for our best guy Nick Torres? 🧡

Tagging: @kmc1989 @whateversomethingbruh @district447 @lovebookheart @stelacole

Nick’s away when you get the package. He’s stuck on the USS Allegiance, heading up an investigation into an abandoned baby found aboard, when the sleek black box arrives at the apartment the two of you share.

When you open it the inside is lined with fuchsia tissue paper and tied off with a black silk ribbon. There’s  a cream piece of card resting on top.

I picked out a black lacy pair with the pretty little bows, it reads. I chose them for you when I was in Tokyo. I can’t wait to see you in them. – Casanova

You’ve been receiving gifts like this for the past few months. It started with an box of expensive Swiss chocolates arriving on your desk one afternoon. You’d thought they were a token of appreciation from a cold case you’d solved until one of your colleagues told you they retailed for almost $300 dollars. You’d tried tracking down the sender but the company refused to play ball with your request.

The next was a bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2014 Champagne retailing at over $700 dollars, followed by a pair of diamond earrings. Each one contains a card, written in black calligraphy written as if the perpetrator were your lover. You’d reported it to your supervisor and it had been kicked upstairs to Supervisory Special Agent Lisa Parker in the Family, Sexual Violence and Threat Management Unit.

It’s her number you dial after taking several pictures of ‘the gift’.

“It came to my home this time.” You tell Lisa as you double check the locks on the door. “That means he knows where we live.”

“Harper, I need you to take a deep breath for me and calm down.” Lisa responds and you can hear her keys clattering in the background. “We’re on our way.”

“We?” You respond, your heart sinking because it’s her day off and you already know she’s bringing Alden.

The thing about these ‘gifts’? You’ve not told Nick about them. That man is fiercely protective over you. If he knew about any of this he’d be warpath, spending every waking moment driving himself crazy trying to track this asshole down. Up until now you’d been able to handle it, all of the boxes had been coming to your workplace and NCIS had excellent security. It’s only today that the game has changed because this one, it’s come to your home and it’s far more intimate than all the others Casanova has sent you.

You tune back into Lisa’s voice on the other side of the line, her assurances she’s on her way and she’s keeping you on speaker until her and Alden arrive. Your phone flashes with another call, Nick’s picture appearing on the screen and you reject it because this shit right now that’s not something you can tell your life partner over the phone.

It’s a conversation you’re going to have to have face to face.

Love Nick? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

STYLE – Hozumi Mahiro 帆純まひろ

(This is a page excerpt from “STYLE” section on Takarazuka GRAPH February 2023 Edition. “STYLE” is a section which hopes to know more about the sienne’s personality through her fashion.)

（此頁摘自寶塚GRAPH 2023年2月號「STYLE」。「STYLE」是希望通過時尚了瞭解生徒的個性。）

Origin of your Stage Name

I used the kanji「純」which I hope to give someone an impression of a refreshing, pure white kind of image. I like the seaside, so this is also a name which I aspire (to be like a boat) expanding its sails and moving forward.

藝名的由來

我用了漢字「純」，希望給人一種清爽、純白的印象。我喜歡海邊，所以這也是我嚮往的名字，（像船一樣）展開它的帆，向前進發。

I like 〇〇 the most now!

I like western-styled clothes. Recently I’ve been focusing more on finding the colour, how the sihoulette figure and the texture (of the clothes) would look and have been considering clothes that would make me “feel happy when wearing it”. For example, about knitwear, I’ve been wearing it for years so I thought maybe I should purchase something else that’s better. As for how I coordinate my taste, first I’d think if there are any decisive points to selecting the item, or else it’s also fun to choose what to wear depending on who I’m meeting and for what purpose I’m wearing my outfit. Recently, I purchased some colourful mufflers. Since it changes colour according to how you fold the mufflers, I thought that was a fashion point of that item.

現在最喜歡〇〇了！

喜歡洋氣的衣服，最近比較在意尋找顏色、衣服穿上去的身形和質感會怎樣，一直在考慮「穿起來很快樂」的衣服。比如針織品，我穿了好幾年了，我想也許我應該買其他更好的東西。不然根據會見的人和穿衣服的目的來選擇穿什麼也很有趣。最近，我買了一些彩色的圍巾。捲起來的時候會有不同顏色，這也許就是一個時尚點吧！

Use a word to describe your personality.

My pace (Note: meaning at one's own pace or doing things at one's own time or schedule). Rather than my actions, I’d say I’m a “My space” type of person in terms of thinking. Even though I’m listening to others’ opinions, I’m the type of person who can’t process that solidly or take action immediately. Even though I’ve heard from people saying that I’m someone forward-looking, but I don’t think I have that consciousness, because in my heart that’s just something I honestly felt. I face things with an approach of thinking “That’s it!”, I want to be someone that pushes forward without hesitating too much.

用一個詞來形容你的性格。

「我行我素」。與其說我的行動，不如說我在思考方面是一個「我行我素」類型的人。即使我在聽別人的意見，也不是那種立刻消化或採取行動的人。雖然聽過別人說我是一個有遠見的人，但我不認為我有那種意識，因為這只是我一直都很直率的生活著。我以「就是這樣！」的方式去面對和思考事情，想成為一個毫不猶豫地勇往直��的人。

Promote about yourself.

I felt that I received the power of companionship during the experience of starring in my bow workshop lead “Junjou” (Complete Devotion). As a member of Flower Troupe, I feel immensely thankful for that. As I’m almost beyond entering the revue for 10 years, now I have the thought of continuing to improve and progress again, and with that consciousness in mind every day, I hope it will be one of the peace of mind for everyone in the Flower Troupe led by Yuzuka-san. Also, I will continue to work hard so that I could become a source of energy for the audience.

宣傳自己。

在主演我的BOW 工作坊公演「殉情」的過程中，我感受到了來自同伴們的力量。作為花組的一員，我感受很強烈的感恩之情。因為我已經差不多進入劇團11年多了，現在再次有繼續進步的念頭，每天懷著這樣的覺悟，希望能成為以柚香桑為首的花組，在大家之中屬於一份安然的存在。我會繼續努力，成為觀眾的能量。

Point (1)

I was drawn to this outfit when I found it in Tokyo, and it was a "setup” (outfit) that I bought thinking there’s definitely some opportunity I’d get to wear it. The pants are trimmed down in the middle and could be worn 2-way, the shoulder patch part was cut away and it is a new kind of design that’s become my favourite.

要點 (1)

當我在東京找到它時，我被這件衣服吸引了，這是自己認為肯定有機會穿它而買的衣服。褲子從中間分界有兩種穿法，肩章部分剪掉了，這是一種嶄新而讓我喜愛的設計。

Point (2)

(In the ring picture) On the right, it’s a handmade ring that the accessories-maker designed, and the width and shape of it is cute. The left ring has a unique shape, giving a “Men’s Like” kind of feeling. For the necklace and the rings, I wear them a lot when I feel like wanting to look fashionable.

要點 (2)

（戒指圖中）右邊是飾品師傅設計的手工戒指，寬度和形狀都很可愛。左邊的戒指造型獨特，給人一種「男士之選」的感覺。項鍊和戒指，當我想看起來很時髦的時候會經常戴的。

PROFILE

2013 is her debut stage (99th class). She had her newcomers’ performance lead role for “CASANOVA” in 2019. She was the lead role for the Bow Workshop Performance “Junjou”. Now, she’s performing in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre “MAYERLING”.

2013年出道舞台（99班），2019年擔任新人公演「CASANOVA」，BOW 工作坊公演《殉情》主演，現於寶塚大劇場演出「梅耶林」 。

VENETIAN REFLECTIONS® CASANOVA CARNIVAL GRAND BALL AT PALAZZO - LABIA MARCH 2, 2025

Experience the exclusive Masquerade Ball created by Stefano Nicolao

Stefano Nicolao is pleased to present the 2025 Carnival Party that will enliven Palazzo Labia with exclusive atmospheres that will make the memories of a fairy-tale day inside an entirely 18th-century palace indelible.

At its heart is the great ballroom designed by Giorgio Massari and decorated with a fresco cycle by Giambattista Tiepolo. The frescoes are some of the finest produced by the Venetian painter and depict scenes from the story of Anthony and Cleopatra. Populated by elegantly dressed characters striking theatrical poses, these are brilliantly complimented by architectural elements in trompe-l'œil designed by Gerolamo Mingozzi-Colonna. The ballroom and other rooms of the palazzo, feature splendid paintings by Palma il Giovane, Giambattista Canal, Placido Costanzi, Agostino Masucci, and many other 18th-century painters.

Palazzo Labia, today the regional headquarters of Rai (Radiotelevisione italiana) is a baroque palace built in the district of Cannareggio for the Catalan Labia family in the 17th–18th century.

Venice Carnival theme party – The biggest costumes collection in Venice

Those taking part in this event will become part of a night that will evoke Venetian nobility and tradition. They will be required to wear 18th century style costumes with gold, baroque and velvet embroidery and to wear elaborate masks.

The happening is organised by a famous Atelier, the only one in Venice with more than 15,000 costumes. You will have the chance to choose for the evening, at a special price, among his wonderful historical costumes.

Some have served as models for film productions such as Elizabeth, Outlander, Twilight, Casanova and for theatrical and opera productions at the most prestigious theaters worldwide such as La Scala, La Fenice, Washington Opera DC, Lyric Opera of Chicago, New National Opera of Tokyo and many others.

@Marco Secchi Photographer

DRESS CODE: The mandatory dress code for the “Venetian Reflections” carnival party is the period costume.

“Oh. I don’t date the kind of guys who are serious enough to bring me flowers. If I’m lucky, they pay for dinner but half my dates, we just split the bill.”

Ben arched a brow. He would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised by her dismissive demeanor, though in his line of work, he knew to expect the unexpected. "Well, with a serious job, I suppose I can understand just wanting something casual in other aspects," he cautiously ventured. "Still, even if you're just having fun, it sounds like you've got a dud if he's not even willing to shell out for some flowers. It's the absolute least someone can do."

“A Yale degree, huh? That’s impressive. What did you study? Since it clearly wasn’t Pick-Up Lines 101.”

Startled by her candor, Ben breathed a self-conscious laugh, shrugging as he agreed, "I never claimed I was Casanova -- I'm not even Cyrano with his way with words. But come on, my pick-up lines aren't that bad, are they? You don't think I could woo someone with my bumbling puns and observations?"

Shifting his gaze back to the program in their hands, he appraised Philomena with a more calculating eye. "You're right, though," he murmured. "Somehow, I doubt it'll be enough for her type, because Miss Cheer has assuredly heard all sorts of pitiful lines...but perhaps that would be the best approach? Honest and down-to-earth, and bumbling? Since I'm sure many have tried the overly confident swagger."

“Do you think it might be André? Or would he be comforting Mrs. Arnold in her hour of need?”

"Speaking of 'overly confident,'" Ben muttered. "I'm not really sure...perhaps he is here to strengthen his alibi. According to many sources, he has been using Miss Cheer's 'company' quite liberally -- if you know what I mean -- so coming here tonight would be a good deflection from his rumored feelings for Mrs. Arnold. If he's discovered at the Arnold manor, he would be an absolute simpleton. All signs would point to his involvement -- Peggy's, too. In truth, just this once, it would be nice if I could have a handful of idiots to investigate. The suspects on my cases are always overly cautious and difficult to nab."

“If they’re that powerful, they might have one of the boxes up there. I know Teshima has their own box. They reserve it for the guys in the top office, and important visiting clients from the home offices in Tokyo.”

Not daring to follow her gaze, and thus draw potential suspicion to himself, Ben nodded. "Good call," he agreed. "At varying intervals, feel free to glance around at your leisure."

Once Elaine turned toward the front again, he added, "Even if they weren't stupid enough to show up, they might come in fashionably late. These prigs certainly love to make an entrance."

“Oh, come on, I don’t believe you’ve never gotten flowers. Surely, someone is bound to have noticed that you’re…” Elaine glanced up curiously as Ben started the sentence, but looked down again as soon as he aborted his trajectory. “I thought that was some sort of unwritten law…that all women require flowers while dating. I’ve certainly obeyed the golden rule. But then, perhaps I just value my life.”

“Oh,” She waved her hand dismissively, “I don’t date the kind of guys who are serious enough to bring me flowers. If I’m lucky, they pay for dinner but half my dates, we just split the bill.” She shrugged as if it did not matter much. She supposed it did not—her mediocre love life was just a product of the modern age. It was not something she had to worry anyone else about, or make it into a big drama.   Ben, at least, did not seem to take too much issue with her teasing or her commentary. At his teasing defense of himself, she grinned. “A Yale degree, huh? That’s impressive. What did you study? Since it clearly wasn’t Pick-Up Lines 101.” The program was a good distraction though, a way to get them both back on course. She nodded as Ben complimented the photo of Miss Cheer. They always did say that gentlemen preferred blondes… but she could not blame Ben for his reaction. Miss Cheer was a looker, and everything about her pose down to her makeup, and how she tilted her head seemed designed to create that effect. She wanted guys’ jaws to hit the floor as soon as they saw her. “So far so good, though if my suspicions are correct, it isn’t too unreasonable to think one of Miss Cheer’s lovers, AKA our suspects will be here, as well. It helps that they don’t know our faces.” “Do you think it might be André? Or would he be comforting Mrs. Arnold in her hour of need?” A light note of sarcasm shifted under her words. Mrs. Arnold likely just wanted to throw a party after losing a deadweight husband like Arnold. Somehow Elaine felt that André would be only too happy to help his rumored lover in such an endeavor. Of course, André had more to gain by cozying up to Peggy, than to Mena. Peggy had a powerfully connected family, a fortune in the bank, and a reputation for being one of the most beautiful and charming socialites in the city. Mena was just an actress… no matter how pretty she was, she really could not compete. “We’re a bit at a loss being up so close, because any of those men could be behind us rather than in front – I don’t see anyone as of yet. But then, I don’t think they’ll cause any trouble in a crowded theatre. We should be fine.” “If they’re that powerful, they might have one of the boxes up there.” She inclined her head toward the booths lining the upper levels of the theater. “I know Teshima has their own box. They reserve it for the guys in the top office, and important visiting clients from the home offices in Tokyo.” As Elaine spoke, she looked around again. She even managed to peek over her shoulders in the guise of stretching her neck. She did not recognize any of the faces around them yet… and with only a few minutes left until the curtain went up, she had a feeling none of their suspects would be showing up for this showing. At least they could make contact with Miss Cheer, however. That would be worth something.
