#tsukasa is so divine

[ducksarerealsoareyou]

I have come back with an AU I had in my mind for about a year and a half. This AU has been in the back of my mind for the longest time, but I have finally decided to share it.

It will not be a full story due to my lack of skills in writing. So I will draw some scenes here and there and explain them.

⚠️TW⚠️: Mention of death & character death

This AU takes place during the event, On the Stage of Dazzling Light, where Tsukasa, out of frustration of not being able to deliver his lines correctly, runs out of the stage that him and the others (Rui, Nene, and Emu) where at. He runs to the road without looking both ways and gets hits by a car (look, I know that's cliche-), which ends his life.

However, he wakes up and is greeted by Hatsune Miku(I imagine Miku is dressed in her Divine Goddess module from Project Diva), and she gives Tsukasa another chance at life but in return he can't go back to the real world and is forced to live in his Sekai. In addition, he also loses his memories, well, most of them. He still remembers his family.

The rushed doodle above shows him in his outfit from the event (which is the outfit he died in). The reason why there is a black transparent circle surrounding him is because once he got to the Sekai, the bright lights hurt his eyes, so at first, he toned the brightness down in the Sekai (he is the owner of it after all, meaning he can do whatever he wants with the Sekai). But later on, he made it so the Sekai looks like it was at the beginning, but made it so that the lights weren't too bright when he was around. This is because he saw the other inhabitants sad that the Sekai wasn't as colorful as it used to be, he felt bad and changed it back to how it was at the beginning.

ᵀᴼᴰᴬʸ'ˢ ᴬᴿᵀ : New Year's Divine Beasts - Tsukasa Tenma

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Today was New Year's holiday, meaning all shrine's were opened for everyone to give gifts to their gods and thank them for this year while also asking for the next one to be even better!

Your family was busy preparing the party or couldn't go due to health problems... so you were the one who was sent to deliver a gift to the shrine of dragon god, also known as god of harvest.

You entered the shrine at late evening, there wasn't anyone in there, so you found it weird to see someone laying on the shrine and eating the offerings!! You couldn't really watch someone destroy the offering place just like that, so before you even took a closer look at that person, your words already left your mouth.

"Uh... excuse me, I don't think you should sit there. It's an offering place..."

"Huh? Oh are you worried? Hahaha! Don't you recognize me from the stories?"

He finally turned to you. And that's when you noticed it... horns... dragon tail... fancy clothing... confident smile... all traits that most definitely weren't human and perfectly matched description of dragon god, Tsukasa Tenma.

"Y-You are-!!"

You felt so ashamed by scolding literal god!!! And yet, he still had this carefree smile as if nothing happened. With small moment of you not knowing what to do, he layed on his stomach and leaned his head on his hand.

"Is that little gift you're holding for me~? How generous! And you have a chance to hand it to me directly! What a day, isn't it?"

"Well yes, but..."

"Ah-Ah! I know what you're about to say. 'You bet I received many better gifts already', right? You mortals... Eh... Don't you know I appreciate the gesture? Not the value?"

He happily took the gift from you once you got close enough, and moved to inspect it.

"Ah, fruits and mask! Absolutely divine deisgn! I can tell there was a lot of work put into it!"

He even tried on the mask, showing just how much he likes it. And instead of putting it down, he attached it to his head with the ribbon on it, letting it sit on the side, as he reached to try one of the fruits.

"Mhh~ So sweet~ Please pass best thanks to the farmer! Their gift, as well as hard work won't go unnoticed, I'll make sure of that myself!"

"I-I definitely will... I-"

"Oh right! You must feel intimidated... I can't blame you of course. You ARE talking to a god like myself! How about you just call me by my name? Would that make you more comfortable?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit... impolite since you're..."

"A god? Maybe to some, but not for me! So please do! In exchange I'll call you by your first name too! Would that be alright with you, Y/N?"

"Of course- How do you know my name...?"

"Oh I know every mortal's name! It's what good god should know after all! What should we talk about now... It's been so long since I had interaction with a mortal... especially one this kind!"

He was considering his options here now, leaving you to adapt to current situation. It was obvious he was craving for some conversation with a human, so who you were to reject that?

"Oh, I know! I could share my sweets with you! That's a nice human tradition!"

"But those are for you alone!!"

"I'm allowed to treat my guests! You're already doing me a favor by talking to me, so I'd like to repay you somehow! Here, try those! I have a feeling you might like it!"

He handed you candies of your favorite flavor, which you gladly took! But before you could even say thank you, one of the shrine maidens entered, seemingly just as stunned as you when you entered, once she saw dragon god. You didn't really wanted to deal with all that... it was already enough of surprises for today!! So you quickly excused yourself.

"I will go now!! Thank you so much for talking to me!!!"

"Likewise, my dear! Untill the next year!"

You rushed out of the shrine, leaving the god and maiden to talk between themselves, you were so stressed that Tenma's words reached you only after few minutes...

"(Wait... what did he meant by 'next year'...?)"

Project Sekai but the Tenmas are yokai

(Magic Show Assistant Saki and Divine Beast/Pandemonium Kasa because they're my favorite <3)

*The siblings are powerful enough to retain a human for, which is how they're able to blend in with humans (ft. Mizusaki & Akikasa)

*They're transfem and transmasc bc I said so

*Samsa Mizuki and Darkfes Akito are exorcists and their main targets are obv the Tenma siblings

*Saki is a mermaid/siren and Tucaca is a dragon (very original)

*they end up accidentally adopting a child Toya

*Akito has a big fat crush on his senpai

*Said senpai is the yokai he's been trying to exorcise for 2 years

*Mizuki does not realize she's dating a yokai

*Pandemonium Rui is a former exorcist who gave up and started dating Divine Beast Nene (serpent yokai) who happens to be dating Wonderland Emu (Bunny yokai)

The Cult of the Fox: Power, Gender, and Popular Religion in Late Imperial and Modern China by Xiaofei Kang (2006)

This book was originally recommended to me by my friend 9 while I was working on the Tsukasa post last year, and initially I only planned to take a cursory glance to perhaps find some fun trivia. However, it ended up unexpectedly engaging - much more than I expected from a dense monograph on a topic I actually didn’t have much interest in prior. I can safely say it deserves all the praise it got. The title honestly undersells what this study is - Kang covers earlier material too. A lot of space is devoted to the Tang period in particular due to its formative role. Despite its value as a scholarly source, it’s also not inaccessible - you probably could pretty much read it as if it was a collection of anecdotes with particularly dense introductions. Foxes were evidently seen as incredibly versatile literary characters. Divine splendor of foxes acting as attendants of deities or pursuing immortality intersects with anecdotes about beleaguered officials meeting with them in abandoned buildings to drink and discuss “historical beauties” (a subject foxes are experts in, as it turns out). Literary fiction isn't all, though. While distinct from gods, ancestors, ghosts and so on, foxes remained a fixture of religious life, especially on the folk level. Kang actually conducted a field study to showcase modern examples in addition to historical ones. However, she makes sure to highlight official attitudes were often ambivalent - the republican and communist governments’ perception of local fox customs as superstition was not without earlier historical precedent. What I found particularly interesting is that it would appear that the study of the perception of foxes tells us as much, if not more, about humans as it does about these animals themselves. Through history, foxes could be used to metaphorically represent virtually every possible group at the margins of society: immigrants (especially Sogdians), courtesans, officials with humble backgrounds trying to trick their way into marriage with daughters of noble families (some of them wrote stories where their fox self inserts fail at it), and more. They were the quintessential image of every type of The Other at once. 10 out of 10 stars or whatever.

The green eyes of perdition

It seems like we haven't talked about this little princess, right?

Sweet and kind, but secretive and apathetic Sakura.

Let's not be so mean to her, let's be fair. Her face always seems to be sunk in sorrow and sadness over something she has no control over.

Sakura is the human who has a bond with a supernatural, in this case Tsukasa, ok, we know that. She is his assistant, which means there is a contract between them. Sakura is not dead since Hanako said that "the traitor" is a human linked to a supernatural and that he is spreading rumors.

Another indication that she is not dead is that students can see and interact with her. But then you ask, if she's not dead, how does she have a bond with Tsukasa if he only grants wishes to the dead?

There are some possibilities, let's list them

She died and came back to life

She has special blood just like minamotos

She is a type of deity

She works directly for a greater deity

In the first possibility, she may have died in the red house or school and asked Tsukasa if she could come back to life in addition to another complementary request to this one, which would make her have a very long bond with him. So we have our first counterargument, if that were the case, she couldn't have been alive for so long. Even if she suddenly came back to life, would she live more than 100 years?

The second possibility would be a plausible explanation, but we have another counterargument, if that were the case she wouldn't be able to make a wish to Tsukasa, since he only grants wishes to dead people.

Being a deity still has a foundation. We don't know what her abilities are and if she has them, but would a deity be considered a dead person? And if she really was some kind of God, why would she need to bond with Tsukasa to fulfill her own desire? He is clearly superior to her and she is uncomfortable with having to live with him and obey him. He is her "master" as she said. But there is an interesting fact about it, Sumire asks Hakubo if he was working for her.

We don't know if this is true, he neither denied nor confirmed it. She asks if Sakura put him to be one of the seven mysteries, that's very curious. But we can't completely trust what Sumire said because she was imagining that was the case, that is, it was her deduction that Hakubo worked for Sakura. Maybe she thought of this because of the way Sakura spoke to her, we don't know, Sumire is naive, she didn't know much about the world, since she spent a good part of her life and post-death (?) in that village.

Anyway, she relayed what Sakura said to Hakubo, reminding him of his duty. And he says this

It seems like he recognizes who Sumire is talking about?

If Sakura had the power to appoint or remove the mysteries from their positions, then why would she be going to all this trouble to remove the yorishiro?

The last possibility, she works for a greater divinity. It's an interesting argument, let's assume she made more than one request to Tsukasa and in addition to the bond she had to do some things he wanted. Or, Sakura made a request that only a God could grant, and in order for her to have that wish fulfilled she would have to obey that God in some way.

So let's suppose, Sakura died and asked Tsukasa to come back to life, ok, then she made a complex request (that everything cease to exist, something she left between the lines) so Tsukasa asked God to fulfill it and in exchange for that she would have to help Tsukasa remove all the seals from the yorishiros, as she is actually doing. Then, when she did as he asked, her wish would finally be fulfilled. That makes sense, doesn't it?

She would be working for a deity, a deity that would be linked to Tsukasa, the boy with whom she has a bond and whose wish can only be fulfilled after God's wish ends. Makes sense, doesn't it? But what about Natsuhiko, where does he fit in here? A human but immortal guy who is there to "take care" of Tsukasa. That was the only reason that was explained as to why he is among them.

He himself says he is responsible for taking care of Tsukasa and the boy never went against him even when Natsuhiko interrupts him (we know that Tsukasa doesn't like being interrupted and he gets aggressive) this never happened, even when Natsuhiko tried to stop Tsukasa from playing Katanuki , something that Amane makes clear that makes Tsukasa angry.

Don't you think it would be funny if Natsuhiko was that God? hahaha it would be a really big plot, but I don't know if I believe in that hypothesis because he's a human, but it would be funny. Natsuhiko is strangely similar to the Kannagi who was trapped in the red house, maybe they have some family connection? And if they did, how would that change Natsuhiko's life? That Kanagi didn't appear for nothing, he must have some greater importance in the future (perhaps). I still don't have much to say about this flirt, we have almost no clues about him.

So to finish, we have one last hypothesis, Sakura being the former or the next number 7. I saw some people talking about this because of her name, but that doesn't seem to make much sense. It doesn't seem like Sakura wants to be tied to a bathroom fulfilling other people's wishes, she doesn't care about anyone, and she wants all the mystery seats to disappear. So how does this hypothesis fit in?

She and Tsukasa want all mysteries to cease to exist. Tsukasa wants humans, both living and supernatural, to be able to do whatever they want, and Sakura wants everything to cease to exist, and she went after this desire even though she had to put up with Tsukasa and wait for so long, in addition to remorselessly using other people to do so. .

Despite this, Sakura doesn't really seem satisfied, even though she is so close to getting her wish. As always, JSHK being contradictory.

Does it seem to you that she is happy?

He says "you don't know that for sure" and she reacts that way. We can even see the little stars next to her, showing that she was happy to hear this. Was she happy when he said she's not sure it will all disappear?

But, as I don't like to rule out possibilities, let's imagine that she also reacted that way because even if everything ends he wants to go out with her.

This story always comes down to a "wish" what is Sakura's real wish?

There are still other hypotheses and possibilities that I want to develop about this trio, perhaps in the next opportunity, for now I am satisfied with what we have.

[nanabansama]

Good Day to you! In the last part of Chapter 115, Kou mentioned in detail to Mitsuba the many different spirit-summoning incantations, including the "Tsukasa-Kun" incantation that they were dealing with. In that explanation, Kou compared the Tsukasa-Kun incantation to the likes of the "Kokkuri-San" and Angel-San incantations. While the Kokkuri incantation is obviously based from the Kokkuri boards that the Japanese often used to perform divinations during the Meiji Era, what exactly are the "Angel-San" incantations supposed to refer to? I presume that they may refer to the use of the names of Angels as a form of spirit summoning or divination but I suspect that to be something Western-inspired and too far for any Japanese person to utilize. Note: This is based from the Drunk Bath Salt Scanations version that I read, maybe there is a more accurate version, especially in the offical English versions out there.

And good day to you as well!

Since you already seem well-informed on Kokkuri-san I'll just skip to Angel-san. Note that I'm not talking from personal experience, just reading from multiple sources on google. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Angel-san (エンジェルさん) is just a variation of Kokkuri-san, as was made clear in the chapter itself. It seems to be one of the more popular variations.

From what the wikipedia page is telling me, instead of drawing a torii gate on the piece of paper, you draw a cupid to summon Angel-san. But the result is generally the same.

As far as I can tell the ritual is 100% Japanese too! And Angel-san is an extremely literal translation of the name, so it's not invoking a specific angel...less you count cupid, I suppose.

If I had to speculate on why they use that name, I think Angel-san just sounds cool and catchy. Angels are also renowned for having mystical powers so it makes sense that they'd be able to answer your questions like Kokkuri-san, a kitsune, does.

Hopefully that's not an underwhelming answer, I just don't think there's much more to it!

And to cap off here is a screencap from the Japanese version. As opposed to the above screencap, I'd say this is a more literal translation: "it goes by a different name but it's the same as stuff like kokkuri-san or angel-san".

From my perspective, Kou is only listing these names to give Mitsuba (and the reader) a point of reference. Doesn't work as well for a western audience unfortunately, but luckily we have chapter 4 of after-school hanako-kun for that...

TBHK #116 Thoughts

I am still kind of 'why? how?' that whatever this is is in the school and not the red house.

I initially thought this might just be the 'pure' ghost of Tsukasa - in which case, him choosing to be near where his twin spends most of his time makes sense. Buuuut...

Right now, I'm thinking the Clock Keepers did not - and maybe could not - destroy the Red House Entity. So they did the next best thing. Right now, I'm thinking that they waited until after 4 year old Tsukasa (possessed by the RHE) returned to the living world - you know, after Nene and Kou met him - and then killed him. The dual entity (Tsukasa+RHE) is still a dual entity, but severely weakened. It may have taken decades for it to be even strong enough to do what it's doing right now. I think this makes sense - I doubt the Clock Keepers would have quit with the job only partially completed, so the entity they're dealing with now probably just looked like a dead boy at the time.

Look....I'm having a hard time with the idea that Amane knows what's going on here. I'm just...not getting that vibe. He may be aware that the divination rumors are about a spirit with the same name as his lost twin, but...all signs are pointing to Tsukasa having been killed when he was four. If Hanako's words to Nene were true, then Amane in this timeline has forgotten (or never even learned) that the spirit world is real. He might not even remember his twin at all, if Hanako was so sure Nene'd forget his entire existence. Amane seems very much to be a kind sort of adult, the kind of person kids have no problem being comfortable around.

That's not so say I can't come up with an interpretation of events-thus-far that not only makes Amane aware of what's happening, but complicit in them. I'd just rather not believe that to be the case.

If one assumes Amane is well aware that the school spirit is in fact his twin's, then I can easily figure he got that awareness from Tsuchigomori and his own cross-timeline dreams (much like Mitsuba has cross-timeline dreams). If one works from that premise, it's entirely possible Amane summoned his brother's spirit (or otherwise drew it in) and may regard the disappearance of the students as...well. Necessary sacrifices to strengthen that spirit.

I don't like that interpretation. I'd rather be wrong. However, I can't disregard the possibility. The one area where Amane and Tsukasa have always seemed to have the same vibe is that when it comes to what they love, the entire rest of the universe can get fucked. And we already know that Amane can and will kill. That is, after all, how "Hanako" got started.

*sigh* Honestly, more than anything, I really just want the scoobies to just TALK TO TSUCHIGOMORI ALREADY. Or at least visit the library! Out of all the entire cast of this entire manga, Tsuchigomori is the most likely to have accurate answers to all their questions. I get that it's not the most exciting approach plotwise, but for gods' sakes, if they're not going to do it at least there should be a reason WHY. For Nene to forget is understandable, but Teru and Akane are supposed to be smarter than this!

[nuikasa]

I just realized what happens once Rui dies in the dragonkasa au-

does a trauma cycle start over again? or does he jut kinda move on like nothing happened-

This is a good ask to talk about how dragonkasa's trauma has been haunting him for years till present time.

For starters, Tsukasa has always been aware that his relationship with Rui (Past) was going to end at some point because they are from two different worlds, he is an immortal god which job is to fulfill human's wishes and grant fortune, while Rui is a merely counselor. Their paths get crossed because wants to archive a dream, Rui wants war to end and people from his town and the whole country to feel safe and smile everyday because he's grown seeing people being scared and suffering on their own. Obtain happiness through working hard for it was what firstly caught Tsukasa's attention on Rui, eventually he falls in love after spending more time with him and understanding what a human life means. He has already got attached to other humans (Saki and Touya) but the attachment he had with them and Rui is totally different. I didn't fully show how detached Tsukasa is from humans in the past and how now, present time, he is totally different but that's what ends up being his downfall and provoked his trauma in the end.

Tsukasa has never really socialized enough with humans, never developed feelings for them besides the "I need to protect them" "it's my duty, I was created to this purpose." but always putting a distance because humans and god shouldn't be allowed to get together, that's rule that never allowed Tsukasa to actually get close to humans. Saki and Touya break a bit this rule, Tsukasa starts to get a glimpse of what a human life is and after he meets Rui, he realizes how different they are and how fragile is a human life.

Now in present, Tsukasa is a bit lost like he isn't totally sure why he can't move on, it happened a long ago already and he meets Rui's reincarnation. At first he thinks this is a punishment, because all the people that has been in touch with him previously, forgot about him (he isn't a god anymore, literally speaking, just a divine creature) so seeing the love of his life being reincarnated and not being able to remember him, it's painful.

But it's painful not being able to move on from all those sweet memories he has with him. Tsukasa is fully aware that Rui isn't the one he fell in love but there's a lot of factors that make him believe, there's something in there and he still can't move on. The whole au is about that, how Tsukasa is going to move on from this state of perpetual "grief" he ignored over the years and just "lived" to a one where he can truly find his own answer and happiness.

There's a lot of things I want to show but I want to focus specially where Tsukasa struggles with how to stop feeling bad for being "happy" with this Rui instead of the one he swore to love for the rest of his days.

As for dying, I can't and won't spoil the end of the au but I believe there's a very simple solution to end this cycle. Tsukasa will come to think about this and find an answer about it as well, hope you guys enjoy what i have prepare for that moment.

[izvmimi]

ykw since we’re discussing hand holding let’s talk about how your favs hold onto your hand like it’s a damn anchor.

izuku loves feeling the smoothness of your palm against his rougher one, a reminder of what he protects laced between his fingers. he loves pressing the back of your hand against his lips, fingers twined together, an unbreakable knot formed between himself and the only person he’s ever truly himself around. the one he reserves his most genuine smile for.

tsukasa holds your hand as though it’s a gift he feels unworthy of. delicate but close, holding your hand against his chest to feel the heart that beats below his muscle and bone. it beats only for you, steadily pumping under your fingertips.

tanjiro loves to clutch one of your smaller hands between both of his, pressing it to his forehead in some form of unspoken blessing. you’re divine to him - as good as you are beautiful and brave. reverence practically seeps from his gaze, locked on your face.

i've been holding on to this and rereading it since you sent it but my god like i'm truly rolling around cuz you got all of our dynamics so perfect gonna cry

[macheteddy]

Im gonna need you to elaborate on those headcanons 👀👀👀 (I'm particularly curious about the world of heroes pantheon and haruto being tsukasa's clone but all of them are 👀) (only if you want to of course)

okay so- where do I even begin? I share these hcs with my friends @attllhak and @starbound-soul so I can't take full credit for them, it's a group effort

I'll start with the Haruto and Tsukasa thing because that's the shorter answer. the main reason this hc exists is because it's funny. we were in the middle of watching wizard and had the realization that Haruto and Tsukasa are very similar. one thing lead to another and we ended coming up with idea that shocker created clones of great leader in case he died/failed. shocker put the project on hold because they couldn't replicate the ability to hop worlds that Tsukasa had. they decided to plant the clones in different worlds with false memories instead of disposing of them, because why not keep a few back ups. Haruto doesn't know he's a clone and only finds out the finale of wizard. congrats Tsukasa, it's a boy!

ok ok ok so- the world of heroes (woh) pantheon. I guess I should start with the structure of the multiverse, trust me this is important. so we hc that woh is basically the linchpin that keeps the multiverse standing. if something happened to woh, all ar worlds would collapse as well. so to keep the woh stable, it also has Foundation Pillars of Existence

Tsukasa (major godling) is one of those pillars, he's basically the grounds keeper of the multiverse, the worlds summon decade whenever something goes wrong. he's a living record for all kamen riders. he cannot die, Tsukasa has been killed multiple times but he always ends up coming back. decade is the singularity point for the worlds

Ace (major deity) is another foundational pillar and actually took the job is being the world is heroes pillar when he ascended. he is the only one who can safely manipulate the world of heroes without causing it to destabilize

the xross saber (major god-like) is another foundation pillar and it supports the wonder world. touma is its chosen wielder but is not a god himself

the pantheon gets updated as we watch more kamen rider so we don't have a lot of hcs for shows only one of us or none of us have seen. some other people included in the pantheon are takeru (minor god) who will regain his divinity after his death and sougo (minor godling) who's powers are currently dormant. we haven't forgotten kouta (major god) but as I'm the only one who's watch gaim we haven't had the chance to really dissect his place yet

basically the kamen rider multiverse is a jenga tower with the world of heroes as the base and the pantheon is what keeps that tower stable and safe

thanks for the ask! honestly I love the really out of pocket headcanons we've come up with, I hope I explained them well enough to be understood but feel free to ask questions!

Reading This Week 2024 #47

my laptop is getting its fan repaired/is sitting in the computer repair shop waiting for a new fan to arrive so my workflow for this week has been decimated. ah well. at least there's books

a few housekeeping notes: I'm starting to try using Storygraph again, same username, just trying to populate it with the books I read this year. I try to stay committed to not giving books star rating if I can help it, because it detracts from my reading experience. working slowly at giving the books i've read written reviews (sometimes just taking the thoughts i put in these posts for it).

Finished:

Until I Love Myself, Vol. 2 by Poppy Pesuyama, translated by Emily Balistrieri (speaking of storygraph, my thoughts/review of this book were on there first) I think this manga. moreso this second volume but also in the first, is about the circumstances of its own creation. so many of its chapters include discussions between Pesuyama and their editor regarding what they want to include and how they want to handle its publication

LEASH. DEPATURE. COMPULSION. by rozecrest on ao3

Tiger, Tiger by Petra Erika Nordlund *caught up. not finished. tiger tiger is an ongoing web comic. i'm bad at keeping track of ongoing serialized work i'm reading on these posts, so i've been slowly reading through it for a while. you should check it out for amazing art, cool worldbuilding, and messy queer characters

The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 7-9 written by Kieron Gillen, art by Jamie McKelvie (vol. 8 has a lot of guest artists and writers) okay now that i've finished this series i have some Thoughts. i think wicdiv is very very twisty in a way that was probably really fun when it was being released. however how i am reading the series, as a collection of trades that compile multiple issues together, it mostly reads as very cheap. the one exception to my negative opinions toward its twists and reveals is the revelation about the actual nature of the gods cycles and their powers, which felt earned in that it had genuine clues to its set up in the earlier issues, so there was no 'we hid key information from you ah ha arent you so surprised about how it actually went down' that rubbed me the wrong way about the rest of the twists.

Blue Box, Vol. 6 by Kouji Miura, translated by Christine Dashiell *wails* oh no the drama of an unrequited crush that's out in the open. the way that Taiki lashes out at Chono for continually talking about him as 'the guy she likes' when he doesn't feel the same for her and be reminded that she like-likes him makes him sad and uncomfortable about not requiting her feelings... these teenagers....

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 7-8 written by Kanehito Yamada, art by Tsukasa Abe, translated by Misa 'Japanese Ammo' aw yeah baby we're back on track. no more boring extending mage exam arc, we're back to the bread and butter of the series. short adventure vignettes

Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede, audiobook narrated by the cast of the Words Take Wing Repertory Company i picked this up for my mini mutuals book club! we rolled a random number on our list and this is what came up. juvenile fantasy about a princess who runs away and is voluntarily 'held captive' by a dragon. i did picture her relationship with her dragon as a lesbian romance, and i am correct. i will not be taking questions at this time

The Girl That Can't Get a Girlfriend by Mieri Hiranshi autobio manga about the author's struggling love life

"Boot Hill and the Fear of Dice" by Rutskarn essay/blog post about the author's experience using a highly lethal cowboy combat ttrpg to run a high intrigue high politics, limited combat tragedy game. sounds like he has an awesome table of players and really made me think about all of the work i'd want to do if i ever wanted to run my own political intrigue game

last night in a darkened room by bigdamnher0 on ao3 read to feel sad about dick grayson and tim drake

Started/Ongoing:

Provenance by Ann Leckie, audiobook narrated by Adjoa Andoh yay stand alone book in the imperial radch universe! i love crime.

Magic's Price by Mercedes Lackey, audiobook narrated by Gregory St. John SPOILERS but: extremely frustrated about the self-conscious narrative defense about the problematic age gap relationship (no its fine that his love interest is less than half his age! he's his soulmate reincarnated!). listen. i was ready to meet you at your freak. i will read some Weird Shit and enjoy my time with it. i was in fact delighted by the romantic comedy farce that the bard had to go through to get the hot older wizard to notice him. the younger party being the active pursuer of the relationship took us as far out of uncomfortable power dynamics as it reasonably could, and i was ready to root for the happy couple. but the minute you start going 'no no no its NOT weird. its completely fine actually for this magical reason' you've lost me. are you trying to tell me that it's not freak shit? that its just okay and not weird and No One needs to feel weird about it? embrace your freak shit or die

[lilis-doodle-dome]

I'm a regular human and was accidentally summoned to another world because they thought I was a divine lord? Now my best friend is a demon and I'm supposed to be his bride?!

Tsukasa gets summoned to an AU where everyone is demons (except himself and Saki who don't exist in this world) because magic wires get crossed and it confuses his speech during a play for confirmation as his status of a 'king of light'.

So now he's stuck as a magicless human in a realm full of beings that would tear him to shreds if they ever learn his true identity, seems he'll have to figure out how to act the 'divine leader' character in a deadly play with no script!

— —

Meanwhile, crown prince Rui of the demon realm is given the mission to convince the summoned 'divine leader' to marry him by the time he turns 18 (two years), that way the underworld and divine realm will be connected and the angels will be forced to recognize the demons!

It's not too bad, basically being king of two realms if he succeeds, plus he can have more than one bride if the Divine leader is full of it.

And based on appearance they'll at least be a pretty trophy to show off! Now how to tempt the heart of a righteous angel into his hands?
