Coffee shop plotting is always the best plotting

[tottwriter]

I swear. It's always the weeks when I'm most run down that everything else goes tits up too.

Just got stranded at a bus stop for a fucking hour because Arriva are useless assholes who don't give a shit about running the bus route I need. Another elderly disabled passenger was stuck with me so at least we could chat, but like...I'm so fucking tired man. Also I had refridgerated stuff which really didn't need to sit on the pavement for over an hour.

Worse still, when a train doesn't show, there's accountability. When a bus goes MIA no one gives a flying fuck. Meanwhile there are signposts all around town begging people to carshare because our roads cannot handle the amount of traffic they're subjected to. I just. I cannot with this.

Trying not to kill myself.

That was what i was doing 15 hours ago, just as any normal teenagers living (or as i prefer saying fighting for the soul to stay on the body) during finals week.

In my room there was nothing but piles and piles of normal work, piles for extra credit, piles of old quizzes to try to get me prepared for the new ones and a dumb incomplete project for photography class that was due tomorrow.

Okay ill admit, i had a month to make that, and all i needed to do was shoot pictures, but that was the problem, i prefer taking pictures of people, their emotions, whatever they might be, just never ceases to amaze me.

And my dumb project made take pictures of....landscapes.

Not too bad, if i had any actual real talent for that type of photography, but i dont, every picture gets ruined somehow, its the lightning, the lack of it, my camera falls, gets full of dirt and i get so mad that i just give up.

That whole speach was necessary for me to explain what i was doing 14 hours ago, and that would explain what i was doing 5 minutes ago.

14 hours ago i decided to shoot the photos, i could try many times before it got dark, and if o was lucky enough i wouldnt go insane before the golden hour, and could actually get some nice pictures.

I grabbed my totte bag taking with me only the necessary, camera stuff, the camera, some snacks and my notebook to upload the pictures before i went mad.

13 hours ago i was running to save my life.

And do you know that moment went you go through so much your mind decides to erase it?

That happened, now, what i do remember, i was sitting in a bench by a calm road not too far from the town, i had got some actually good pictures, some of me, some of the trees, some of a butterfly, maybe three cars had passed by since i was there, driving slowly, always saying hi and doing a thumbs up, normal, friendly people from the town.

And then i heard a noise that shook the trees.

I remember seeing something, but never what, i remember running to home as fast as i could, feeling my heartbeats in my neck, i remember the noise, but the people in the streets looked at me like there was nothing behind me and i went crazy

I remember getting home, having a desperate talk with my parent while they got my suiticase ready, and i dont remember a single word.

I remember a funny looking guy my age that got to my house, with goat legs and a more desperate look, and i remember one last hug before i left.

And thats all, aside from a hell of a lot of running nobody cares.

Aparently i passed out from shock or exaustion because i woke up in a unknown place, at night, in a hospital bed, with no actual doctors other than 15 year olds teenagers.

And a horseman standing in the corner, with quite a intelectual look actually.

And let me tell you guys that after the talk we had, if somebody told me i would marry queen Elizabeth within 4 days, i would just belived it.

Because nothing ever in my life would ACTUALLY beat up the level of crazyness of finding out i DO have another parent, they are just, A FUCKING GOD. GREEK. GODS. AH.

Then, after telling me my whole life was in fact, a big fat lie, the horseman... left.

Telling me i should sleep in the infirmary this night for precaution and that he was going to get me to a cabin tomorrow.

Like that was the most normal thing to ever happen to a human, he said goodnight and left.

While i sat there just trying to...basically form a sentence that wasnt "for fucks sake what the fuck was that"

I would have loved to say that i did slept that night, dreaming about glory and greek myths but that did not happened, at all.

I walked around the infirmary for hours, opening every cabinet and trying to make my mind to something, i searched for my stuff, and thankfully found my camera, with some pictures i hadnt noticed i had taken, one specific had a blurred thing in the forest.

When the first rays of sunlight appeared i got dressed, and decided that, in order to prove to myself (and probably to the mental hospital afterwards) i was not insane, i needed proof that i was actually living, actually there, being a demigodess, thats what they called.

Very few people were up already, and i did received some weird looks, it was clear nobody knew me, that was fine, i didnt knew anybody either.

I walked around taking some pictures, sometimes getting lost, but everything amazed me, the forest, the cabins, the stables, i found the entrance to a beach too, and then i got to the training area, aparently, i stayed far away, god forbid i woke up from this nightmare with a spear in my head, oh no, that would be bad.

Openning my camera i zoomed in the people, my speciality, it was sweet, seeing them trully smile, and not pretend for the picture, it was a genuine feeling the camera would keep forever, i zoomed around other peoples faces, but my camera focused on a face i could never forget, and she looked back at me, and realized i was there, but not that i was me, because she came towards me with a angry look.

Ill admit, the look scared me as hell, so much i tried to pretend i was never taking pictures of her, i slightly changed the angle and kept my face hidden behind the camera.

Do i need to say that did not fucking worked? No? Thank you.

"Who the fuck do you think you are taking random pictures of pe-"

She yanked my camera off of me mid sentence and stopped completely, looking like she had seen a ghost for some seconds.

"(Y/n)?"

"Clari?"

"How- what are you doing here!?"

She asked, with a worried look, still kind of confused, she did this look since we were little girls, and for a moment i had a big deja vu.

Two little girls running around, playing all day, telling each other secrets and stories, running to hug each other eveytime they were close, i still saw that girl in her eyes, but by her previous look, she did not.

"What am i doing here? What are YOU doing here? One day you dissapear without a trace, and your family said you went to a new school even though it was the summer, and now i find you sparring with a spear? You are that too? A demigoddes, i mean?"

I spoke fast, nervous, as if my time in the world with her would end just as it did once.

Instead of responding me right away, clarisse did something that maybe would scare every single soul she knew in the past years.

She hugged me. Hard.

Breathing me in, and not letting me go exactly as you would expect of someone who hasnt seen me in years.

"I couldnt tell you anything... it wouldnt be safe...im sorry, i missed my friend... i missed you."

I just looked at her for some seconds, and then hugged her again, this time i was the one making it extra tight, i was the one going insane by the reconforting smell of her shampoo, praying that she couldnt feel my heartbeats against her chest, and how strong they were.

"Just.. dont leave me again okay? And ill forgive you, i promisse"

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

the official one piece channel released a music video to promote volume 109 much like how they did with volume 106 and the start of egghead:

and i watched it and i started bawling almost instantly. below the cut is the rough (very rough, i'm not great at translating music) translation i did of the lyrics, so you all can cry along with me.

例えば誰か一人の命と/tatoeba dareka hitori no inochi to 引き換えに世界を救えるとして/hikikae ni sekai wo sukueru toshite 僕は誰かが名乗り出るのを待っているだけの男だ/boku wa dareka ga nanorideru no wo matteiru dake no otoko

if, for example, by saving the life of one person i could save the whole world i would be a man who only waits for that one person to declare himself

愛すべきたくさんの人達が/aisubeki takusan no hitotachi ga 僕を臆病者に変えてしまったんだ/boku wo okubyoumono ni kaete shimattanda

to all the many people dear to me i sadly became a coward

小さい頃に身振り手振りを/chiisai goro ni miburiteburi wo 真似てみせた/manete miseta 憧れになろうだなんて/akogare ni narou da nante 大それた気持ちはない/daisoreta kimochi wa nai

the gestures i learned when i was small i've showed you how to copy and i've come to yearn for something no grand ambitious feeling

でもヒーローになりたい/demo 'hero' ni naritai ただ一人君にとっての/tada hitori kimi ni totte no つまずいたり転んだりするようなら/tsumazuitari korondari suru you nara そっと手を差し伸べるよ/sotto te wo sashinoberu yo

but i want to become a hero if only to you alone if you ever stumble or fall i'll quietly reach out a hand

駄目な映画を盛り上げるために/dame na eiga wo moriageru tame ni 簡単に命が捨てられていく/kantan ni inochi ga suterareteiku 違う　僕らは見ていたいのは/chigau, bokura wa miteitai no wa 希望に満ちた光だ/kibou ni michita hikari da

for the sake of bringing this no-good movie to its climax lives were simply thrown away but no, what we dream of seeing is the light that has fueled our hopes

僕の手を握る少し小さな手/boku no te wo nigiru sukoshi chisana te すっと胸の淀みを溶かしていくんだ/sutto mune no yodomi wo tokashiteikunda

that small hand gripping mine all of a sudden melts all the hesitation from my heart

人生をフルコースで深く味わうための/jinsei wo furucosu de fukaku ajiwau tame no 幾つものスパイスが誰もに用意されていて/ikutsumono supaisu ga daremo ni youi sareteite 時には苦かったり/toki ni wa nigakattari 渋く思うこともあるだろう/shibuku omou koto mo aru darou そして最後のデザートを笑って食べる/soshite saigou no dezaato wo waratte taberu 君の側に僕は居たい/kimi no soba ni boku wa itai

so that you might deeply savor life as a full-course meal with all its many spices laid out for everyone though at times it may be bitter and full of sour thoughts and at last you'll eat dessert laughing i want to be by your side

残酷に過ぎる時間の中で/zankoku ni sugiru no naka de きっと十分に僕も大人になったんだ/kitto juubun ni boku mo otona ni nattanda 悲しくはない　切なさもない/kanashiku wa nai, setsunasa mo nai ただこうして繰り返されてきたことが/tada koushite kurikaesarete kita koto ga そうこうして繰り返していくことが/sou koushite kurikaeshite iku koto ga 嬉しい　愛しい/ureshii, itoshii

i certainly came to adulthood in the midst of these times that are far too cruel but i'm not sad, and i'm not in pain although things have just repeated like this yes, although things will repeat like this i'm happy, my dearest

ずっとヒーローにありたい/zutto 'hero' ni aritai ただ一人君にとっての/tada hitori kimi ni totte no ちっとも謎めいてないし/chittomo nazomeitenai shi 今更もう秘密はない/imasara mou himitsu wa nai

i always want to be a hero if only to you alone without any mystery left after everything, i have no secrets anymore

でもヒーローになりたい/demo 'hero' ni naritai ただ一人君にとっての/tada hitori kimi ni totte no つまずいたり転んだりするようなら/tsumazuitari korondari suru you nara そっと手を差し伸べるよ/sotto te wo sashinoberu yo

but i want to become a hero if only to you alone if you ever stumble or fall i'll quietly reach out a hand

Kanji:

響きあうのが常　溶け合う夢

魅かれて Love thing ときめく胸

上手に振舞っても　I can see your mind

仕草で惑わす　本音と嘘

愛を試す　駆け引きは

大人のフリじゃもう満たせないや

焼け付く傷を冷たく癒す

火照る頬濡らした True tears

爪痕が語る　Midnight

何度も聞きたい　切ない

甘い罠に雁字搦めの Miss you

痛みが織りなす Pleasure

知ってるから Habitually sweet

もどかしく求めて

どこまでも I'm going to drown

選択するまま　待てない　Limit

主役は Oneself 誰でもない

人生はカットなしの　ロングフィルム

切り取られた今日　戻らぬ過去

理想の明日はどこなのか？

目隠し外すのはやっぱり It's you

ため息の中　にじむ優しさ

くすぐった本能止まらない

本当を見せて　All night

思いは重なる絶対

時間の波に　誘われて Kiss you

受け止めあいたい Feelings

すれ違いさえ Turn it into a joy

どうすれば伝わる？

君なしじゃ Falling all the way down

触れた指と指　絡まり合い

秒針の Tick Tack 遠くなる

鼓動だけ２人包んで

爪痕が語る　Midnight

何度も聞きたい　切ない

甘い罠に雁字搦めの Miss you

痛みが織りなす Pleasure

知ってるから Habitually sweet

もどかしく求めて

酸いも甘いも　愛も悲哀も

手を取って一緒に Let's drown

Translation:

Always resonating together, our dreams melt together

Attracted by this love thing, your heart throbs with excitement

Even if you pretend well, I can see your mind

Deceiving me with your gestures, your real intention and lies

Trying out love, this push and pull of

Pretending to be an adult is no longer enough

Healing my burning wounds with cold,

True tears dampen my flushed cheeks

Scratch marks tell the story of Midnight

I want to hear it over and over again. It’s painful

I’m completely stuck in the sweet trap that is missing you

Since I know the pleasure woven

From pain is Habitually sweet,

I impatiently yearn for it

I'm going to drown endlessly

You can’t wait to make your choices, there’s a Limit

The protagonist is Oneself, no one else

Life is a long film without cuts

Today is cut away, and the past won’t return

Where is the ideal tomorrow?

It's you, after all, who takes off your blindfold

Tenderness reveals itself through a sigh

I can’t control my newly aroused instincts

Show me your true self All night

Our feelings are overlapping, definitely

Drawn by the waves of time, I Kiss you

I want us to embrace each other’s Feelings

Let’s turn even our misunderstandings Into a joy

How can I make you understand?

Without you, I’m Falling all the way down

Our fingers touch and intertwine

The Tick Tack of the second hand grows distant

And only the beating of our hearts surrounds us

Scratch marks tell the story of Midnight

I want to hear it over and over again. It’s painful

I’m completely stuck in the sweet trap that is missing you

Since I know the pleasure woven

From pain is Habitually sweet,

I impatiently yearn for it

Both the sour and sweet, love and sorrow

Let’s hold hands and drown together

"Real Boy" and Vil.

This means a lot coming frm Vil, reason 1 is that I literally admire Vil a lot(like how you would admire a real life person), reason 2 is the fact that Vil is a only child.

Most only child's often make assumptions abt siblings that they are 'always together' or 'similar interests' etc.

Vil probably had to take the role of a 'spoiled only child' at some point in his acting career :( And he puts a shit lot of effort into stuff he does, so he probably did some research on how actual siblings interact w/ each other.

Anyways onto the actual topic I'm supposed to be talking abt (everytime i see vil i act like a victorian gentleman seeing ankles for the 1st time and the problem is vil isn't even wearing anything revealing lol)

Vil saying 'Ortho has his own life' is actually really damn important. 1st of all, it's bc in book 6 the robot Ortho & real Ortho's souls merge together, making BOTH Ortho's 'real' in some way or another.

2nd of all, he says this in the Pinocchio inspired event ToT, with the end of the story being Pinocchio becoming a real boy, and in GloMas Idia also gets some sort of development ToTT, I'm interested to see what kind of things will Ortho go through.

[azems-familiar]

okay okay okay. fine. my interpretation of Ulic, obviously, which i personally think is pretty accurate if you get rid of some of the ridiculous shit that makes no sense the comics pulled, and extrapolated based on little things. anyway.

they're both gifted kids, you know. Ulic is given over to Arca when he's 11, this absolute powerhouse and prodigy. his mother believed herself incapable of training him, instead sending him to a master who scolded him for not developing the innate power of battle meditation; he resented her for it, and resented Arca, but never believed Arca was wrong. Revan, thirty years later, just as powerful in the Force, with the same martial bent as him, feared by Vrook Lamar and certain other masters she would resent for the rest of her life. picked up at twelve by Arren Kae, who only chose her because one day you will save the Republic, i've Seen it.

arrogant, both of them, even as the brightest of Jedi. Ulic knew his strength and believed he could handle anything - boasted about it, even. what were the Krath against his Jedi strength and righteousness? Revan had succeeded at everything she turned her mind to, and was certain she could outsmart Cassus Fett and win the war. what were the Mandalorians against her righteous anger and the Jedi's compassion?

(how long did a Jedi's compassion and righteousness last when loss came, when anger came, when a way to win that wasn't the right path presented itself?)

how often did Nomi Sunrider look at Alek and Qatya, Revan's most loyal friends, and see Cay? (see Tott, see herself?) Qatya, standing numb before the Jedi Council, a fresh scar across her face and her connection to the Force ripped away. Cay, bleeding out and crumpled on the ground, Ulic's lightsaber having carved through his chest.

a mask. an amulet. power, not of the mystic kind but of blade and charisma and tactical genius and an army loyal to the death. Ulic would have taken Coruscant had Aleema not betrayed him. thirty years later, Revan was six months out from conquering the Republic, Coruscant included, until Malak turned and shot her in the back.

Ulic was a prodigy. he proved it a hundred times over before the end. Revan saved the Republic, and then turned around and nearly destroyed it. both of them left shadows over the galaxy that would linger for generations. oh, they'll tell you Exar Kun masterminded the Great Sith War, and maybe they're right - from his hand was the dream of a new golden age birthed. but it was Ulic who led their armies, unmatched by any Republic tactician.

the same eyes in different people, time after time after time.

so yeah. sometimes i think about Ulic and Revan.

Made a short scenario while waiting for Grian's episode LMAO

SUMMARY : 

After the whole Boogiepocalypse, Grian was walking around near the sunflower field close to trader scar's to look around how much damage the tasks did to the server for session 7, but he soon noticed the owner of that area in that vicinity soooo why not check on them?

( dialogue only thingz )

red - Grian Black - Scar

“ Huh.. They really did a chunk of damage around here “

“ Is that?..” 

“ Scar! “ 

“Oh Grian! G! Hey hey! Are you here to trade? “

“ no, not really “

“ Good because I don't think I have the things and the area to make a trade right now! “

“ I noticed “

“ What brings you here G? “

“ Wanted to check up on the damages on the server “

“ Ah, I see I see well have– Have fun! “

“............”

“ Scar, are you okay? “

“ Im fine Im fine! Good even! Great! Big, powerful, Strong! “

“ Uh huh “

“ Do you need help rebuilding your base? “

“ That would be nice.. “

“ Orrr… “

“Or what? “

“ You can join me, Cleo, and Etho near the border? “

“...:”

“Sca- “

“ …Really? “

“I’d love to G but.. I dont know “

“ Scar you are in your yellow life, probably less than 10 hearts now because of the whole zombie apocalypse shenanigans and well.. A little birdie told me that you provoked a lot of people this session. Its not gonna be safe for you to just stay around near the middle of the server.. Alone. “

“....”

“ You can deny the offer Scar! I just well- “

“ Am I smelling something? “

“What? “

“ Somebody who wants me back? “

“W-what– what do you mean? I just want you to be safe and you know maybe one of the best option is for you to have allies and- “

“ Oh Grian, you know me and safe are not in good terms! Whether or not im allies with you and some other people! “

“ …yeah “

“ Well Grian, I don’t care if Cleo pulled you into asking me out but yes I’d love to be allies again “

“ I'm no- nevermind. Okay let's uhm. Get your valuables and we can get you a room in there “

“ Yeah, I'll do that later! I think I just forgot something near the scott and tott’s base so yeah thankyouG,BYe!!!Loveyou!!! “

“...Love you too. “

Camp Digimonth Time!

Alright, time for some accountability.

It's become something of a running joke that I emerge onto this account with an update approximately once every blue moon, only to vanish back into the aether afterwards but, no more!

I am putting this out here so I actually have to follow through. This year, I am participating in Camp Digimonth with the goal of putting out at least a Hope's Fire update, and preferably either two, or...

...I'm a bit wary of even saying it, but. I badly want to get back to some of my other Digimon fics, and just. What better time, eh? Metanoia still languishes on a pretty miserable cliffhanger, and the rest of Trinacrifom is little better. I'd like to breathe some life into that one again, and events like this can give me the motivation to do it.

Beyond that...who knows? Things IRL are lifting a little for me, but we're still in Early Days, and I'm wary of jinxing it. Still, that's another update, for another time.

For now, please watch this space for progress at last!

[tottwriter]

So it's been like a week of this 'cold' which makes my nose run and my eyes feel super weird and itchy, but hasn't really gone to my chest the way colds usually do, and at this point I'm thinking... Is this hayfever?

Half the rest of my family have it, so have I just... spontaneously developed hayfever out of nowhere in my mid-30s? Because it's also still only March, you know? There's not a whole lot of hay out there to fever if you know what I mean.

[stargazerlily7210]

Alright, here's a big claim for the finale (whether I actually believe/want any of these individually is besides the point. This is purely about how these all vibe together):

Sutekh is ultimately acting as RTD's Harbinger for opening the Classic Who floodgates as he sees fit.

Susan Triad will still turn out to be Granddaughter Susan. It will be revealed that the smattering of Susan Twists across The Doctor's travels will turn out to have been her Time Lord (aka. 'Complex Space-Time Event') consciousness calling out to her Grandfather for help. And, speaking of that, the Kind Woman RTD mentioned who is on a far away planet with something vital to The Doctor and Ruby, will be either one of Susan Triad dream selves or Carol Anne Ford herself. The something vital will either be the hope/confirmation/proof/information needed to unlock Susan's Memories and restore Susan Triad to her full Regenerated Susan Granddaughter self or Baby Ruby.

Ruby's mom is either revealed to just be an innocent, albeit unfortunate person turned acolyte of Sutekh (think, the speech Harriet/Sutekh gave about 'The Vessel. Which, presumably is the TARDIS but could honestly be referring to any/all of the current female presenting mystery based characters, as well.) The Trickster working under Sutekh. Or, more likely, Ruby herself.

The 'heartbreaking' moment we keep hearing about will either be Mel's death (as victim or sacrifice, hard to say), Ruby's death (imagine she learns she's a manifestation somehow brought about by the fight with Sutekh. Then defends her self sacrifice claiming it's fine because she doesn't really exist) or a reveal that refocuses this all back to The Doctor's foundling status.

The Doctor (and Ruby, or Mel, depending on who dies) will escape Sutekh in 2024 by using the oddly solid time window/'memory'/recording of the TARDIS to enter the Memory TARDIS (aka. The consciousness of the TARDIS itself that's defending itself against Sutekh's control). Which is shielded from Sutekh, but doesn't have the power to do anything else... Until Tales of the TARDIS gets revealed as The TARDIS calling out for help by using the time=memory=reality hack that Tales of the TARDIS has been alluding to.

If it's Mel who died, she will get brought back to some sort of existance (whether fully back to life, or only within the confines of the Memory TARDIS) through the magic of the Memory TARDIS. Kind of like how Clara was semi undead and had her own TARDIS.

If it's Ruby who died, the 15/Ruby scenes we saw bookending the Pyramids of Mars TotT episode will be something like a mix between the 'literally living on through memory' magic mentioned above and the Teacher Clara Shadow in 12's Mind Palace TARDIS. But she will ultimately be brought completely back to life.

Mrs. Flood will remain an off-putting mystery but will seemingly be on The Doctor's side, albeit away from any of the immediate action for the majority of, if not the entire episode. However, whether her identity gets revealed this episode or not, we will get confirmation that she is a Time Lord herself... and she'll inevitably be revealed as The Monk (for even longer winded reasons that ultimately amount to nothing).

Maomao no Hitorigoto Episode 23 : Balsam and Woodsorrel / 猫猫のひとりごと　第23話『鳳仙花と片喰(ほうせんかとかたばみ/Hosenka to Katabami)』

Please note that the English lines are just my translations.

猫猫「猫猫の豆知識。鳳仙花の花言葉は『私に触れないで』『短気』。片喰の花言葉は『喜び』『母の優しさ』。」

Maomao “Maomao’no mame-chishiki. Hosenkano hana-kotobawa ‘Watashini fure-naide’ ‘tanki’. Katabamino hana-kotobawa ‘yorokobi’ ‘hahano yasashisa’.”

Maomao “Maomao’s bits of knowledge. The flower language of the Balsam is ‘Don’t touch me’ and ‘Short-tempered.’ The flower language of the Woodsorrel is ‘Joy’ and ‘Mother’s kindness.’”

猫猫「はぁ……」

Maomao “Haa……”

Maomao (sigh)

壬氏「羅漢を無事に送り届けて来たか？」

Jinshi “Rakan’o bujini okuri-todokete kitaka?”

Jinshi “Did you deliver Lakan safely?”

猫猫「無事ではないかと。下戸にとって、酒は猛毒ですから」

Maomao “Buji-dewa naikato. Gekoni totte, sakewa modoku desu-kara.”

Maomao “I don’t think he’s safe. Alcohol is deadly poison to non-drinkers.”

壬氏「あ…」

Jinshi “A…”

Jinshi “Ah…”

猫猫「無論、命に別状はありません」

Maomao “Muron, inochini betsujowa ari-masen.”

Maomao “Of course, there is no danger to his life.”

壬氏「���…だよな。それにしても、金輪際(こんりんざい)、ああいった賭け事は控えてもらいたい」

Jinshi “N… Dayona. Soreni-shitemo, konrinzai, aa-itta kakegotowa hikaete-morai-tai.”

Jinshi “Yeah, I guess so. But even so, I hope you’ll never again gamble like that.”

猫猫「ああいった賭け事？象棋ですか？元々得意でも何でもないのでご安心を」

Maomao “Aa-itta kakegoto? Shanchī desuka? Moto-moto tokui-demo nan-demo nai-node go-anshin’o.”

Maomao “Gamble like that? Do you mean chess? I’m not good at it or anything, so don’t worry.”

壬氏「違う！」

Jinshi “Chigau!”

Jinshi “No, that’s not it!”

猫猫「ん？あの男以外で下戸に酒を盛るようなことは致しません」

Maomao “N? Ano otoko igaide gekoni sake’o moru-yona kotowa itashi-masen.”

Maomao “Huh? I won’t make any non-drinker other than that man drink alcohol.”

壬氏「それも違う！」

Jinshi “Soremo chigau!”

Jinshi “That’s not it either!”

猫猫「んん？」

Maomao “Nn?”

Maomao “Hmm?”

壬氏「ハァ…。負けたら誰かの子になるとか、どうとか…」

Jinshi “Haa… Make-tara darekano koni naru-toka, do-toka…”

Jinshi “(sigh) If you lose, you’ll go live with someone or something…”

猫猫（ん？羅漢のもとに行くのは年季が明けてからと、義理を通したつもりなんだが…。第一そんなことを褒美にするのは、あの男以外いるはずが…）

Maomao (N? Rakanno motoni iku-nowa nenkiga akete-karato, giri’o tooshita tsumori-nan-daga… Dai-ichi sonna koto’o hobini suru-nowa, ano otoko-igai iru-hazuga…)

Maomao (Huh? I thought I was doing my duty by saying that I would go to Lakan after my contract ends… But first of all, there’s no way anyone other than that man would want something like that as a reward…)

壬氏「ん…もう良い！」

Jinshi “N… Mo yoi!”

Jinshi “That’s enough!”

猫猫（どうしたんだ？）

Maomao (Do shitanda?)

Maomao (What’s wrong?)

猫猫「次回、��壬氏と猫猫』。あの男は緑青館で、誰を身請けするのか…」

Maomao “Jikai, ‘Jinshi to Maomao.’ Ano otokowa Rokushokande, dare’o miuke suru-noka…”

Maomao “Next episode, ‘Jinshi and Maomao.’ Who will that man buy out at the Verdigris House?”

ocxcanon cringe

It’s OC X Canon week on Twitter and idk if I’m gonna do it and if I do it’ll take months and none of it will be posted anyways but i thought I’d post and give a rundown of my ships hi

(picrew used)

I don’t have many but I’m putting them under a cut just because that’s easier

Yuzuki X Wren- Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns

The YuzuWren… my everything… I made them in 2020 because that was the year I started really getting into making OCs and finally played 3oT after being hesitant and skipping out when it came out due to how badly the concept of multiple villages was implemented last time. (Thank FUCK Marvelous learned from tott. Anyways) Especially because during the time of playing the file, I realized I had been repressing some horrific, horrific trauma of something that happened to me. They’re what got me through it and I ended up getting a solid 100 hours through their file!

Wren is a trans man. Along with his interest in farming, Daryl refused to accept him as a man. Gay Uncle Frank took him in not only to help get started with farming, but also to help him with transitioning. (As a side note I did not realize Wren starting to transition when he moved to his farm meant he was getting his hrt top and phallo from fucking Ford until months later and felt so FUCKING sorry for him.) (Another side note- Daryl refuses to accept Wren’s transness even after he becomes “proud” of his farm and hopes he’ll grow out of it, Marlena is happy to see how well her “daughter” is doing, and Lynn is genuinely really supportive but rarely gets to see him because of how she’s still young and lives with their parents.)

When Wren first visits Tsuyukusa, he starts helping out Omiyo and Umekichi whenever he had down time to make things a little easier for them. Obviously, this lead to occasionally checking in on Yuzuki as well. Wren got interested in Yuzuki’s jewelry early on and started trying to make more time to talk to him. From being sexually harassed from being so frail and feminine looking in his childhood, Yuzuki was very empathetic to Wren- he’s cis and he can’t possibly imagine how much harder they were for Wren having that his entire life. Finding out Yuzuki was also the unfavorite child to a significantly more horrific degree than Wren was likewise made Wren more sympathetic to him.

Anyways they get married and have gay sex and live an r/childfree life because I have having kids in these games LMAO can you tell they’re my darling yaoi

Mistel X Roland- Story of Seasons (3DS)

I started this file a while ago but recently got back to it!! And doubled the hours I had on it before in a week. Uh.

Roland was a born and raised city boy who always hated how busy the city was. He always loved growing his own vegetables on his apartment balcony and, eventually after doing research on agriculture, decided he’d do best on a farm. When a lot opened up in Oak Tree Town, home of his favorite writer, he couldn’t refuse and set out immediately. Indeed, it wasn’t long before Roland started visiting Iris regularly to talk about literature with her. Mistel, the autistic little freak he is, got curious about Roland very fast and kept attacking him with questions every time he came to talk with his sister. Roland found it incredibly annoying and started giving Mistel little presents when he visited to satiate him while he talked to Iris. This backfired, however, as it only got Mistel even more fixated on him and made him start prodding at Roland even more than he did before. Worst of all, Roland was beginning not only to not mind it, but also starting to enjoy it! At some point, he started visiting less for Iris and more for Mistel. Not that he had a crush on him. He’d never admit he had a crush on him. Eventually Mistel beat him too the punch and asked him out, and that’s where my file currently is!! Very excited to get to when he’s disproportionally hornier than every other LI in the entire series LMFAO

IdiYume- Twisted Wonderland

This one is really REALLY embarrassing for me because I haven’t done romantic yume/self ships since like… middle school

My sona is a catch all one I made a few years ago; Beatrice “Trixie”/“Trix” Hart. Normally I use her/him to terrorize anime boys platonically (she was first created to be an assistant to Klavier Gavin in Ace Attorney, and I think it shows with the name LMAO), but as I got more into the series and read Book 6, I Needed to kiss Idia Shroud and used him for this as well. His name stays the same minus the nickname because, well, I’m a trans dude keeping his gendered birth name lol.

He’s a second year Pomefiore bnuuy beastman at NRC and is BFFs with Cater. Him and Idia vaguely know each other, but generally dislike each other. Online, though, he’s Idia’s favorite vtuber and ok this is too embarrassing for me sorry JDKDWKKFSKFB

I prefer them a lot after NRC, though- I view them as both being transhet (because I am transhet. bye). Idia’s boymoding at NRC, and Trix is girlmoding quite literally everywhere except the all male school he goes to. After they graduate, they start transitioning together. Its a very very intimate experience for both as they support each other through everything.

This picrew is them 10 years post NRC when they’re fully transitioned because that’s usually what I think about with them. :) They’re very happy and love each other and their 3 cats and their younger brother and his 2 dogs.

Chenya X Beau Rhodes-Twisted Wonderland

My most recent ocxcanon ship and the one I have the least amount of development on because there’s so little known about RSA and Chenya is only allowed out of RSA Jail every now and then for enrichment. Beau is twisted from the rose from Beauty and the Beast! He also grew up in the Queendom of Roses, but a different part than Chenya Trey and Riddle. Him and Chenya were roommates their first year at RSA. Beau is very mature and committed to his work and studies in floral arrangement, in contrast to Chenya who’s. Well. Chenya. They end up balancing each other out; Chenya helps Beau lighten up, and Beau has better luck than most convincing Chenya to stop fucking around when he needs to.

The biggest aspect, to their dynamic, however, is something else.

I think NRC is one giant cringe compilation to RSA. They love hearing about the insane things that happen there. And, well, Chenya is childhood friends with the most ridiculous human being ever born, Riddle Rosehearts. And also Trey Clover, man who has spent his entire life being in love with the most ridiculous human being ever born, Riddle Rosehearts. Beau and Trey met as first years from Chenya introducing them, but whenever Riddle came up there was a silent “dude just wait until you meet this guy next year.” Beau didn’t know what he expected but Riddle met all of them.

Chenya does convince him to go to an unbirthday party with him though. Eventually. And he surprisingly does have a great time. That doesn’t stop the “I’ve had to listen to him talk about being in love with this guy for 8 years dude” conversations though.
