#uncle Oto

[daydreaming-scribe]

Doing my full rewatch of RWD and finally at s4 and I don’t know if it was because I started the series as a full-time working adult but I always understood where Oto was coming from regarding the ship.

Like there are definitely unsavory aspects of his character, such as basically taking the ship from VR-LA after having salvaged it, dealing with devils, and taking in Dani, Roy, and Egan at a young age to work for him that would probably violate labor laws (if there were any), but I can understand why he’d be pissed at a group of randos taking the ship he’s paid a lot of money to salvage and repair out for joyrides. It’s definitely tricky because to the crew the Per Aspera is their home so Oto is like a glorified landlord there to remind them that they’re not, but to Oto it’s a priceless vehicle that he salvaged/repaired to do expensive jobs to help keep his business and its employees afloat. I know it’s not that deep but Red said it best when the main conflict was that the crew were adventurers in a fantasy world and Oto was very much a person who could not live in that fantasy world with them.

new chapter of The Family Affair, my loosely-SxF- inspired kakakabu fic. This week, I introduce Kabuto to Kakashi’s friends and the Reader to the international narcotics trade that’s funding Oto.

Hi I’m not sure if your requests are open at the moment. But if they are, I was wondering if you could do a Valentino x fem!Reader; where Charlie meets the Overlord - like when she goes to the studio to request more time off for Angel in the show - and she finds out he’s married - and she ends up meeting Reader and their kid?? - sorry if this doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I think this is what you were looking for? If not please feel free to request something different!

Please consider this an OTO short story and consider the characters within the context of that narrative! Enjoy!

<3 Mandy

Valentino didn’t let his family in his studio, and for good reason. 

Sure it was a dangerous place. After all, he employed criminals, scumbags, and general down on their luck losers. Not to mention the actual work itself wasn’t something he wanted his wife, let alone his daughter, anywhere near. 

But deeper than the obvious reasons, Valentino didn’t want them to see him in the role he played. He didn’t want them to see the cruelty he inflicted as he fulfilled the terms of each contract he signed. The day he married his wife, he swore he would keep her as far away from that part of him as he could. 

The day Charlie walked into his studio, he was already at his wits end. 

The baby had been up all night with bad dreams. His wife needed to work in the afternoon, which meant he needed to keep a tight schedule so he could keep an eye on his precious daughter. 

So when he heard that creak of the door opening and the blonde bitch walked into his studio, he wanted nothing more than for her to turn the fuck around and walk back out. 

From the corner of his eye, he watched Angel Dust rush up to her, and encourage her to leave. As with everything else in her life, Alastor’s bitch ignored his plea. Valentino could feel his anger growing as he stood up. Normally he would find this entire thing entertaining, but today it was interfering with his very tight timeline. 

As he strode over to encourage her to leave, he heard the elevator door open. From his back, wings sprang forth as he watched his wife step into his studio, his daughter in her arms. 

Fucking great. 

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” He yelled across the studio. In the moment, he forgot about Charlie, forgot about Angel, forgot about the timeline. He strode across the floor and hurried her into his office. 

“Bebita,” he hissed. “Get yourself and her out of my studio. Now.” 

“Put those wings away,” Reader replied mildly. “You’re scaring her.” 

Valentino looked at his three year old daughter's face as she stared at him in a mix of fear and fascination. With a sigh, he took a deep breath and retracted his wings. 

“It’s just me, my ninita,” he said softly as he reached for her. “Come see Papi.”

He lifted her out of his wife’s arms and cradled her to his chest. Softly, he cooed to his little girl until she snuggled into him and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.

“Papi!” She said excitedly. “Play game? Uncle Voxy’s Sharkies? Pony ride?”

Valentino gave his wife a hard look. “Mi amore, why are you here?”

“Because you need to watch her and I need to go meet with Uncle Lucy,” she replied as she set the diaper bag on the table. “Do paperwork, keep her in the playpen, hell, make one of your assistants watch her, I don’t care but I need to leave right now.”

Valentino felt his anger bubble up but swallowed it back. He knew it wasn’t her fault. Hell, he knew it wasn’t even technically Lucifer’s fault. Instead, he leaned over and kissed his wife softly. 

A creak of the door and Valentino jerked away. It wouldn’t do for anyone to see him act so soft. 

“Val? Do you have a moment?” Charlie’s voice interrupted. “I’d realllllly like to speak with you about Angel.”

“Oh for fucks sake,” Valentino growled. “What now?”

“Language! That’s two quarters in the swear jar!” Reader scolded him. 

As soon as Charlie pushed the door open and saw the scene within, Valentino could see his reputation going down the drain. He tried to hand his daughter back to his wife, to put on the mask he wore with everyone else. 

Unfortunately, his little girl had other plans. 

“Daddy! No!” She shrieked. “Papi, no no no no no no!” 

“Okay, okay ninita,” he muttered and snuggled her back to him. “Settle down.”

She stuck her fingers in her mouth and laid her head on Valentino’s shoulder. 

“Daughter? You have a kid?” Charlie asked, her voice dripping in disbelief as she looked at the three of them. “The overlord of lust and depravity?”

“Oh shut up,” Valentino snapped as he sat down on his desk.

Charlie looked to reader and waved brightly. “Hi! I’m Charlie! I’m…”

“I know who you are. You’re the one who opened the Hazbin Hotel,” reader replied. She gave Charlie a smile. “Please, ignore my husband. What’s going on with Angel?”

Charlie’s eyes couldn’t get any wider. “Valentino is married?”

“That’s common fucking knowlege,” Valentino muttered. “I wear a wedding band for fucks sake.” 

Both of them chose to ignore him. 

“Hi Charlie, it’s nice to meet you,” Reader replied with a smile. “I’m reader, and this is our daughter. Sweetie, say hi.”

Instead of answering, the little girl buried her face into Valentino��s neck. 

Charlie’s eyes went wide again. “You’re Lucifer’s niece. Oh my god it is true. Valentino, you’re married to Lucifer’s niece?”

“Charlie, what is it you want?” Valentino asked with a sigh. “What will it take to get and keep you the fuck out of my studio?” 

Charlie turned to him, “I have come to- aggressively kindly- ask that you give Angel more time off to…”

Valentino closed his eyes. If he gave Angel the time off, could handle this bitch by himself. And get her out of his studio for good.

“Fine. Done. He’ll be off in five hours and I’ll shorten his hours, now get out,” Valentino growled. “And I swear, if we pick up even a hint of Alastor in this building I will…”

“Val…the baby,” reader warned. 

“Deal! Thank you thank you thank you!” Charlie gushed.

 In a single motion, she reached out as if to hug Valentino. He stepped back quickly.

“Not with the baby, she doesn’t like strangers,” he said sharply. “Goodbye, Charlie.” 

Valentino watched as she practically skipped out the door. Grateful for the privacy, he sank into his office chair and closed his eyes. Against him, his daughter snuggled deeper. He felt his wife prop herself on his knee and felt the weight of her head against him. Outstretching his arms, he held them both against him and closed his eyes. For a moment, all was right with the world. 

“I can’t have her in my studio,” he said aloud. “The baby, I mean. I hate to do it, but I need to call Vox, see if he can take her. I just, I don’t want her around all this. It isn’t okay, for so many reasons.”

“I know, and I’m sorry normally I…” reader began. 

Valentino cut her off with a kiss. “I know. Go, if you have to.”

Reader looked a bit disheartened but leaned over and kissed their daughter, and then him before making her way out of the office. A quick phone call to Vox later, his now sleeping daughter was safely in her Uncle’s arms and Valentino’s attention shifted back to his work. 

Five long hours later, he called cut, pulled Angel aside and informed him his day was ending early. To his dismay, he watched as Angel strutted to his changing room just as Charlie again walked through the door. 

“Valentino! Can we talk?” She asked.

Valentino shifted his weight and crossed his arms. “I gave Angel the time off because you promised to leave.”

“Yay! But this isn’t about you, this is about reader and you, and your softer sider- I think you might be a great candidate for the Hotel!” She gushed. “Think about it! Your daughter…”

Valentino had her by her throat up against the wall before she could finish her sentence. His wings sprang from his back and every part of him pulsed with power. 

“Do not presume to speak about my family,” he snarled. “This is your last chance. Get. Out.”

He released her and without another thought, he slammed open Angel’s dressing room. He could feel the rage building as he grabbed him and shoved him into the wall. 

“I don’t give a shit what you do with your time off, get that fucking cunt out of my studio,” he snarled. “The next time she comes in, both you fucking bitches will be dead.”

He dropped Angel and to his relief, Charlie was nowhere to be found. He stepped into the elevator and tried to swallow back the fear and anger in his chest. Alastor and his little twat had better keep themselves far away from his family. Valentino had no desire to start another fight, but if push came to shove, he would most certainly finish it.

More about Jaden growing up with Yugi and the DM crew

He doesn’t have favorites in his family but he has different relationships with each of them.

Yugi

is his Dad and his hero.

The king of game!

The one who saved him from the orphanage.

He’s also super kind and teaches Jaden how to take care of himself and his friends.

Seto

is his Oto-san.

He’s more strict, way more strict than Dad. But he obviously cares for Jaden.

He’s so protective and isn’t great at showing his emotions.

But he loves hard and deep. He’d rip the moon from the sky if Jaden, Yugi, or Mokuba asked.

Jaden likes superhero’s? And he really loves the Elemental hero cards? But theirs only four of them, and they’re super weak? That won’t do. He reaches out to Pegasus about making more hero cards.

At first he tries to make them a private collection just for Jaden but Yugi finds out and scolds him. He can’t give Jaden his own archetype! (Especially when Jaden already made his own) so the cards are realeased to the public. But you best believe Seto got three copies of every Hero card for his son.

The Destiny hero’s infuriate him. “How come that kid (Aster Phoenix) gets his own private set of hero’s but our son can’t, Yugi?”

In actually he feels a lot of guilt over sending Jaden’s cards to space. Jaden doesn’t remember, but they found the records of it. Seto sent Jaden’s soul monster and defender (neo spacians and Yubel) to space and has been trying to get them back ever since. Until he can get his son’s cards back to him the least he can do is make sure Jaden has cards he can trust. (His idea, not Jaden’s or Yugi’s)

He couldn’t imagine someone sending his blue eyes away from him forever. He has the records of Jaden’s powers lashing out after they took Yubel from him. (He needs to get those cards back for his son)

Atem

Atem adores Jaden. And Jaden adores his uncle Atem.

Atem has always dotted on Jaden. He’s truly grateful for this second chance at life and the opportunity to be part of Yugi’s family.

He’s also very protective of Yugi and his son. Yugi and their friends fought so hard for the world. They deserve to have a peaceful life now. And Atem will defend them the same way they defended and helped him.

Once they find out about Jaden’s powers and blocked memories, Atem becomes even more protective then he was before.

He feels a lot of camaraderie with Jaden. Not just the missing memories, but also the shadow powers. Though Jaden’s comes from the Gentle Darkness and Arems from his time wilding the millennium items.

Atem always shows Jaden little magic tricks and uses his powers to play with Jaden. Even being duel spirits to life. Jaden can’t see spirits until his entrance exam but he grew up with someone who could. So he doesn’t feel like he’s going crazy when he starts seeing and hearing spirits.

Atem wanted to try and unblock Jaden’s powers but Yugi had been worried. His boy was so young and what happens if his powers lash out again. He doesn’t want Jaden to blame himself if anyone gets hurt because he’s a little kid who had a tantrum. Atem agrees but still works with Jaden. His powers will unlock one day. It’s best he’s prepared and knows that he doesn’t have to fear himself. Yugi agrees, Atem would never go against Yugi’s will.

Joey

Don’t tell the others but… Joey is Jaden’s favorite uncle. (Mainly don’t tell Seto, Atem, or Mokuba)

Joey is so fun for Jaden. He’s silly and energetic and matches Jaden’s energy.

He duels Jaden and it’s so fun. Seto can’t bring himself to go easy on any one. Yugi and Atem go easy on him, but they won’t give him the game, he learns a lot from all three, but Joey? Joey’s crazy.

Joey will pick up booster packs and they will make random decks and duel. Just for fun. Just to learn. Just for fun. Yes your deck is your heart, but theirs a lot to learn from quickly cobbling together a deck.

When Jaden’s older, Joey is the first one to break out his real deck on him (well besides Seto, who knows no chill) when Jaden beats Joey’s real deck for the first time he’s so pumped, and so is Joey. His littlest buddy is an amazing duelist!

Joey is so laid back. He loves dueling and he’s serious about it. But he remembers it’s a game. It’s fun. Something Seto’s never been good at. Atem struggles with (trauma) Yugi knows but his deck is almost unbeatable. All three of them love the game for the strategy, Joey’s here for fun and chaos. Yes he’s strategic but he also chaotic and a risk taker.

Jaden takes after him in a lot of ways. Jaden love’s strategy to, he’s learned form the best. But at duel academy? If he was like either of his father’s his identical would be blown so fast. So it’s a good thing he takes after Joey. No one thinks the prince of games to be a laid back slacker. But he learned from the best, Joey. (If Seto ever heard that statement he’d set the city on fire.

how do minakushi react to Tori not needing ink a nd special paper80

kushina is like "neat!"

minato is like "oh no?"

i don't think plasticity!tori realizes how wild what she does is, so mutagenicity!tori in oto is like "well we live in a bamboo forest, and i don't want to join the war but i don't want my home invaded, so let me at least use the bamboo to make a barrier for safety?" and everyone and their uncle is like "no, stupid child, that's impossible" and at first she's like "okay, they just don't know anything about fuinjutsu" and then orochimaru is like "omg wtf, please keep doing that" and she becomes Suspicious

using non-human chakra sources or getting really creative with your ink/paper replacement isn't a completely foreign concept, especially to kushina*, but from minato's POV tori just showed up one day and was like "btw i have pushed the field extremely far in this direction most people regard as impossible, removing at lot of the previously considered limitations" and he's like. well i'm glad we successfully recruited her for konoha instead of her sticking with orochimaru. but oh god she was trained by orochimaru

*my headcanon for uzushio is that they incorporated fuinjutsu into their everyday lives more than fuinjutsu users in other countries. so in her youth kushina has definitely seen things like seals carved into trees or braided out of kelp and it seems like a natural thing to do to her; it's just also an extremely uncommon thing to do and then have work

Deer Woman

Deer Woman, sometimes known as the Deer Lady, is a spirit in Native American mythology whose associations and qualities vary, depending on situation and relationships. Generally, however, to men who have harmed women and children, she is vengeful and murderous and known to lure these men to their deaths. She appears as either a beautiful young woman with deer feet or as a deer.

Deer Woman stories are found in multiple Indigenous American cultures, often told to young children or by young adults and preteens in the communities of the Lakota people (Oceti Sakowin), Ojibwe, Ponca, Omaha, Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Choctaw, Otoe, Osage, Pawnee, and the Haudenosaunee, and those are only the ones that have documented Deer Woman sightings.

Deer Woman is one of the Little People. Though they can be malevolent towards humans, their role in Indigenous culture is to uphold traditional society by keeping humans in line by discouraging harmful actions that have the potential to destroy the community. The legend of Deer Woman in particular pushes them away from actions like promiscuity and infidelity. The Little People also hold otherworldly knowledge that they can pass onto humans which is then transmitted through the generations; however, this power must be obtained, respected, and maintained in traditional, healthy ways. As an example of what happens when these spiritual rules are broken, the people who incur the wrath of Deer Woman and her uncle, Thunder, soon die.

Some stories describe the sighting of Deer Woman as a sign of personal transformation or as a warning. Deer Woman is said to be fond of dancing and will sometimes join a communal dance unnoticed, leaving only when the drum beating ceases.

Among Lakota people, Deer Woman is called Anukite. The daughter of the first man and first woman was a beautiful young woman named Ite (Face). Tate (Wind) fell in love with her. They married and had quadruplets, who were the Four Winds. Tate wished to become a god and enlisted the aid of Inktomi, the trickster spider, who caused the Sun to fall in love with Ite. At a celebration, Ite sat in the place of the Moon, the Sun's wife. To punish her disrespect, the Sky cast Ite down from heaven to the earth. Half of her face became ugly and her name became Anukite (Double Face Woman) or Winyan Numpa (Double Woman).

Anukite appears to men in dreams or visions, either as a single deer or two deer women: a white-tailed deer and a black-tailed deer. Her two different sides symbolize appropriate and inappropriate sexual relations. Men that have sex with her are believed to go insane while women that dream of her will have strong powers or sexual attraction or can gain artistic powers if they make a wise choice in the near future.

Deer Woman and the other Little People share similarities with some European supernatural beings such as the Gaelic Aos Sí and Tuatha Dé Danann, the Germanic elves, and the Slavic víle and rusalki in that they hold otherworldly knowledge that they can pass onto humans if they are treated with respect and said human(s) deemed worthy. Special care is also taken not to anger them and avoid breaking their rules as their vengeance is unpleasant and often deadly.

La Patasola, literally "single footed", is a somewhat similar figure from the Antioquia region of Colombia in that she brings harm to men who harm what she cares about, in this case the forest. She is a shapeshifter who takes the form of a beautiful woman to lure men with her cries of fear. When the men, who are often causing harm in one way or another to the rain forest, come to her, she drops her beautiful mask and slaughters them in an effort to protect the forest.

I'm a sucker for sad scenarios so eh,

(The sun hashira) what if Tanjirou actually died in the Entertainment District arc from being killed by Gyutaro? Tanjirou's last words were:

"i'm sorry I couldn't be here anymore.. Nezuko.. Everyone.., Oka-san (Kie).. Oto-san (Tanjuro).. I'll be with you guys again.."

I'm feeling Dad Yoriichi and uncle michikatsu and the pillars who simps for him ain't gonna take this well..

That'd be absolutely devastating.

How and when Highschool AU Kimimaro and Yuugo got adopted?

As kids, before both of them turned 10. I imagine Kimimaro was an old friend's son - maybe the previous Oto principal - he was taught to play different instruments from a young age and Orochimaru adopted him after the father died.

Juugo came a little after, Kimimaro met him by chance, maybe at a music school, he was having trouble at home - living with an uncle or aunt - and after some point Orochimaru also adopted him. He's been learning to play many things since then too.

OnlyOneOf Rie & Nine interview in Good Rocks! vol 115

As the magazine is still on sale I’m not including the original Japanese text for now.

Scans by aveariax @ twitter, translation by me under cut

Korean boy group OnlyOneOf have made their Japanese debut in May 2022. On October 19th will be released their second single, to the tune of the emblematic hit of the 1990s, SharanQ's Zurui Onna. We've invited members Rie and Nine to an interview, drawn by the charms that have captivated so many across borders.

— How did you feel hearing that you were to cover Zurui Onna?

Rie: Japan is famous for that band sound, so I was excited to hear that we would be covering a song representative of the Japanese 1990s, and one written by Tsunku of the band SharanQ and producer of Morning Musume. To have the opportunity to cover the song of someone so talented is an honour.

Nine: I was initially worried about covering a song that's so legendary in Japan, but our producer Director Jeong worked hard and we were able to take both our strengths and those of the original song and blend them into a cool song. Confidence and determination to do our best replaced the worry.

— The first time I listened to your cover of Zurui Onna, I got a rather fresh impression from it, different from the original song. It was surprising coming from OnlyOneOf considering your sexy, adult image.

Nine: What we’re mindful of when composing songs isn’t generally sexiness, but rather which course will make us shine the most. This time as well we started from Director Jeong's guidance and exchanged among ourselves, and landed on this course. Director Jeong is very considerate of us, he's our oji-san [uncle in Japanese]. Rie: Ahjussi? [uncle in Korean] Nine: Wait, appa [dad in Korean]! I meant oto-san, not oji-san! [laughs]

— The original doesn't have choreography either, so that was also refreshing.

Rie: The way the singer sings with his legs in a wide stance in the original MV was memorable. Our main dancer Yoojung imitated it, we stuck to the original song's feeling in the chorus while changing it up a bit, and that became our choreography, in our style.

— There's group choreography, but the pair dancing scenes are also memorable.

Nine: The member pairs use their chemistry while dancing to express the relationship in the lyrics. It's more interesting to watch and listen with that in mind.

— Were there any difficulties in singing Japanese lyrics, rather than in your mother tongue Korean?

Rie: One of my parts is "Goodbye arigato, kokoro kara itoshii koibito" [Goodbye and thank you, love I cherished with all my heart]. The lyrics aren't difficult in themselves, but they're sad lyrics while the singing isn't sad. Having to convey the sadness to the listener was hard.

Nine: Japanese pronunciation is hard. When I listen to our Japanese debut released in May, suit dance (Japanese version), there are parts that I feel that I need to record again. So while I can't do it perfectly, when singing I was careful about pronouncing in a way that wouldn’t result in that uneasy feeling. For example, in Zurui Onna the "zutto" in the chorus' "Zutto kono hi ga tsuzukeba to" [For this day to go on forever] is difficult.

Rie: The "tsu" in Tsunku is also difficult. [laughs]

— Is there a lyric that you particularly like?

Rie: I like the "Bye bye arigato sayonara itoshii koibito yo" [Bye bye thank you and farewell, cherished love of mine] sung by Mill in the chorus. I like Mill's singing voice, it's beautiful.

Nine: I like Kyubin's "Naze konai konai konai konai" [Why won't you won't you won't you won't you come], the diction is interesting. I like the way it sticks in your head just from singing it once. I find myself humming it.

— So what kind of people do you want to listen to this song brimming with various charms?

Rie: Obviously the lyOns [name for OnlyOneOf's fans] who support us, but also the generation of their parents who know the original song. And I want the people of our own generation who don't know the original song to come to love it after listening to our Zurui Onna, and people of all generations to listen to both and compare them.

Nine: I think the original is a legendary song loved by many people. I think our cover can also be liked regardless of generation or nationality, so I'd like for people all around the world to listen to it, and the choreography is also easy to imitate, so I hope they also dance to it.

— What do you think is OnlyOneOf's appeal?

Nine: On stage we focus on alluring with our sexiness, coolness or cuteness, but when we come off stage I think we've got a close, casual atmosphere about us. I think our appeal is within that gap.

Rie: There are many fans who've told us that they were so nervous when first meeting us that they could hardly talk, but as we talked to them the nervousness disappeared. I think fans would say this is part of our appeal.

Nine: But our number one appeal is our songs, I would be very happy for everyone to listen to them.

— Finally, please give a message for Japanese lyOns and readers.

Nine: We prepared many stages for our coming to Japan, and received so much happiness from the lyOns who were there and sent love to us. We'll grow and send this happiness back to our fans, so please continue supporting us!

Rie: Coming to Japan for the first time in May was so fun and I really wanted to come again, so even if it was for a really short stay this time, I was so happy to be able to do live concerts in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo. I'll do my best to become a singer who can go to many other places! From now on, my dream will be to perform at Tokyo Dome next year! I'll do my best for it to come true, so please support us!

Pairing: Otoya Ittoki X afab!Reader

Synopsis: One fateful night, MC decided to pay a visit to her favorite idols' dorm and met with a certain redhead. Upon their reunion, he sang her a song that they made together.

Word Count: 934

Tonight's the night. The night that she will visit them. She already missed their smiling faces and their unique personalities, each and everyone differ from each other and it truly captured her attention.

The [h/c]ette teen hummed a popular tune that was sung by no other than St☆rish themselves—Maji Love 2000%. It was the song that made it possible for them to win the Uta☆Pri award, and that's the reason why she's going to visit them at their dorm.

[E/c] eyes wandered around the place as she walks; the blooming, pink leaves of the famous cherry blossoms caught her attention successfully. The bright, full moon shone its white moonlight down unto her figure, an opaque shadow forming right behind her walking form.

'Nisenpaa Saikoo na LOVE Hajimaru yo Yes! Happy LIVE'

She sang. Her angelic and soft voice resonated around the place, creating an echo of delicate harmony. The wind picked up and made the leaves of the trees sway, some fell off from its respective branch and floated pass the girl. Her [e/c] orbs reflected the shine of the moon as she halted to a stop, her figure glistening under the heavenly arrays of light. The previous soft breeze gently caressed her skin whilst her hair danced along with the evening winds.

'Omatase shimashita hoshi wo yozora e

Ai wa Shooting star!! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1'

Her eyelids slowly closed as she sung her heart out. A hand was rested on her chest while the other was gently cupping her own face. Feeling a presence coming up to her, the female opened her lids and revealed [e/c] irises staring back into the person's ruby ones.

A moment of silence filled the surroundings as the person stared at her with wide eyes. Realizing who the stranger was, soon a wide grin was pasted on her face.

"Oto-nii!" she cried, running towards the said boy and jumped into his embracing arms, successfully catching her in him.

Otoya was caught off-guard at first but then chuckled wholeheartedly whilst tightening his hug on the girl, his arms rested around her waist. He was surprised that he was actually able to meet with her today, especially when he hoped it so badly that she would come and visit them soon.

"[Y/n]-chan..." her name sent warm sensation throughout his body. A wave of butterflies was fluttering in his stomach as his cheeks were tinted pink.

"I heard that you guys won the Uta☆Pri award and I came as soon as I can to congratulate you all!" she beamed at him, her irises containing pure excitement and happiness. "Uncle Shining allowed me to spent the time with you so here I am now!"

Her smile melted the redhead's heart and he was glad to receive such feeling. She was the only one that makes him feel like this anyways.

"Thank you, [Y/n]-chan," he returned back the smile with his own. "You know, I was thinking I wanted to see you, and then you showed up... It must be fate."

The [h/c]ette giggled and her breath tickled Otoya's chest, making him flush red. Soon enough, the two pulled back from the embrace and stared into each other's eyes for a moment. The redhead was so captivated by the girl's [e/c] hues and he could stare at it all night.

Otoya snapped back to reality as he grabbed the black case strapped on his back. "Oh, right. Look at this." 

[Y/n] studied him curiously, lips formed into a cute, thin line. "What's that?"

"It's the new guitar I ordered. It just arrived today so I'm on my way to play it in the lesson room," the male placed the guitar case down and got the new instrument out. "It was love at first sight. I had to have it."

[Y/n]'s face lit up after seeing the new guitar in the boy's arms, its red color complimenting Otoya's hair and eyes. Scarlet Passion—as she would describe him. He then faced the girl after examining his guitar, a soft expression present on his face.

"I wanted to show you first. I want you to hear me sing your song."

"My song? The one I composed for you?" her brows raised and eyes wide in realization.

"A heartfelt song just for you," Otoya nodded and smiled, closing both of his eyes. "I wish I sang the whole love song in the world for you cause you deserve all the love in the world." 

[Y/n] blushed at the male's words, a wave of warmth soon engulfed her small form. She stared at the redhead for a moment with a soft expression on her face, sapphire orbs gentle and containing pure bliss. Otoya didn't waste a minute and sang the song.

Otoya slowly opened his eyelids to search for [Y/n]'s expression. Though once he did, he was surprised at what he saw. The [h/c]ette's [e/c] hues were sparkling under the moonlight, reflecting its bright glint back to his ruby ones. A tint of pink was visible on her cheeks. 

"It's wonderful..." [Y/n] was left speechless and awestruck at the song. Her [e/c] eyes were staring still at Otoya's bright features.

"You think so?" he asked nervously, unsure if the lyrics he made were good enough.

The teen bobbed her head in approval. "Uh-huh! That was great, Oto-nii!"

"Hehe...thanks," the redhead had a faint blush on his cheeks as he rubbed his temple, eyes averted to the side.

"What was the title of the song?"

"Kanojo wa Sunlight."

[Y/n] smiled warmly. "It's a wonderful title..."

"I hope that you would be able to become a composer soon, [Y/n]-chan," long, slender arms snaked around the said girl's petite body, giving her an embrace with a slight squeeze. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling the sweet scent of cherry blossoms. "I wanted to sing more of the songs you compose for me."

"Yeah, I will..." she replied, nodding while wrapping her arms around the male's back. Her eyelids slowly fluttered closed and she enjoyed the sweet moment.

Hello!! This is my first time requesting something so sorry if it doesn’t make sense.

Can you do Alastair having a child (about 4-5) that’s just like him, and the vee’s find out about her?

Hi friend,

First of all, I am so glad you sent me in a request! I love this idea, but think OTO Valentino’s daughter/wife. (I know they don’t have a kiddo yet in the story but I promise you they will). 

Enjoy!

<3 Mandy

The birthday party invitation came home in her backpack two weeks into preschool. 

Baby pink, pastel green forest scene and a light brown deer under the the announcement “Our Little Deer is turning FOUR!” with a date and two hour time block scrawled underneath in a neat cursive font. On the back was information to RSVP- a number to text yes or no, the requirement that a parent or guardian be present, and a request for the child's name. Pleased his daughter seemed to be making friends, Valentino thought nothing of it and handed it off to his assistant with instructions to RSVP yes and to choose a present age appropriate for a coming four year old girl. 

“Wrapped in pink and with a card,” he told his assistant firmly. “I want to make a good first impression.”

“First impressions for what?” Vox’s voice came from behind him. In one motion he snatched the invitation out of the assistant's hand and scanned it over. “The fuck is this?”

Valentino turned around and crossed his arms. “Our ninita got her first birthday invitation. She’s going.”

“Did you even look at the date?” Vox snapped as he handed the assistant back the card. “Who the fuck do you think is going to take her? It won’t be you, her mother or even Velvette for that matter. None of you will be here that weekend and I made plans for us already.”

Valentino rolled his eyes. “Squeeze this into your plans then. It’s important we make a good first impression, and I’m sure she’s excited to go.” 

Vox grunted and turned away, “fine. But only because she’s excited. I couldn’t give less of a fuck about any other kid in hell.” 

Valentino smirked, “I’m well aware V. Have fun.”

Vox rolled his eyes as he walked out the door. He could think of a thousand different things that would be more fun than being surrounded by screaming hell children- several of which he already had planned. But when the party was brought up at the dinner table and he saw just how excited his niece was, he relented. After all, she was the most important thing in his life. 

Saturday rolled around faster than anticipated, and all too soon Vox found himself tugging a bright pink princess dress over the top of his nieces head. 

“I’ve never been to a party before,” she told him excitedly as he lifted her up and carried her to the limo. 

“I know,” he replied as he set her down on her booster seat next to the oversized, glitter pink wrapped gift. With caution, so as to not ruffle the frills in her dress, he leaned over and belted her in. “Aunt Velvette read you the story about birthday parties last night, right?”

“Yeah! There’s going to be cake, and games and presents for the birthday girl!”

Vox let out a smile and kissed her on the top of her head before closing the door. Her enthusiasm for the event almost made what he was sure would be two hours of hell tolerable. 

Well, almost. 

“Don’t forget to bring in the present,” Vox told the limo driver as he pulled to a stop. Vox turned to open the door and paused. No. It couldn’t be. 

“This is the wrong address,” Vox said sharply.

 His niece scrambled to unbuckle herself and pressed her nose against the window. 

“No it isn’t! Look, there she is! She lives at the Hazbin Hotel, Uncle Vox!” 

Before Vox could move to stop her, she pressed open the door handle and took off towards the hotel. 

“Jesus fuck,” Vox snarled as he took off after her. “Reader, wait!” He took the steps two at a time, wrapped his arms around his niece and lifted her up, ignoring her protests. 

“Ah, welcome!” the familiar voice floated through the entryway. 

Shit. Vox looked up into Alastors eyes and gritted his teeth. Amusement danced across his smug face. Vox felt the electricity crackle and his niece yelped. Quickly, he set her down and watched her take off across the foyer. 

“Now now Vox, let the girls play nicely, hm? I’m sure we can do the same for a few hours,” Alastor said and he opened his arms. “I know when my daughter asked if your niece could come, I was hesitant, but it’s for the kids…right? War will resume promptly at four. Until then, come on in!” He turned and walked across the lobby.  

Vox gritted his teeth, but seeing no other choice, followed him inside. He looked around at the overtly decorated hotel lobby, the happy birthday banner followed by a plethora of pink and green balloons. If he didn’t know better, he would think it truly was a child’s birthday party. 

“Uncle Vox! Look! Party hats!” Reader yelled as she ran up to him. “Look, I got one for you!” 

“Oh, hey, great,” he said flatly as he took the hat from her hand. 

“Uncle Vox, you have to put it on your head. Everyone has one,” she told him, hands on her hips. 

Vox looked around. He recognized Charlie and Vaggie standing next to Angel Dust of all the fucking sinners, Husker behind what he assumed was a bar when it wasn’t being used as a snack station, and Alastor, blowing up balloons for a swarm of small childeren. All wearing party hats. 

“Fine,” he muttered as he snapped the elastic under his screen. “Go play, but stay where I can see you, got it?” 

“Okay Uncle Vox!” She said cheerfully. 

Vox crossed his arms and shifted his weight to the left as he surveyed the scene carefully. To their credit, no one approached him, save Charlie. Once. Several short answers later, she wandered back to the party. He watched protectively as they played games, opened presents, laughed and shouted. One cake lighting and round of happy birthday later, his niece was handed a small plastic goody bag and her hand was in his. 

“Com’ere,” Vox muttered to his niece as he lifted her up. “You have frosting on your face.”

“Uncle Vox,” she whined as he wiped at the smudge on her cheek. “I wanna play more!”

“No,” Vox said shortly as he carried her towards the door. “Party is over.”

“It seems our daughters don’t hold the same hatred we do,” Alastors voice came from behind. 

Vox paused and turned around, face to face with the demon he considered to be his archnemesis. “Your point being?”

“Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if we let them play together another time!” Alastor said cheerfully. 

“Yeah!” Reader cheered. 

“You, hush,” he said to reader firmly. “Alastor, that isn’t up to me. Get a hold of her father, see what he says.” With that he continued to walk out the door. 

“Will do, old chum,” Alastor said from behind. “Will do.”

“Uncle Vox, why are you so mean to Mr. Alastor?” Reader asked as Vox buckled her back into her seat. 

Vox sighed and smoothed back her hair. “It’s a long story honey. Too long for right now. But hey, why don’t we go home, get you changed and we can go see Vark?”

That seemed to cheer her up. As she opened her goody bag, Vox busied himself texting Valentino and Velvette. They needed a plan, and soon. Maybe a change of schools. But hell would freeze over before Vox allowed his niece anywhere near Alastor unsupervised.

About Crowler, as much as I would like Jaden to tell him eventually on his own terms (with Chazz and Jesse support) It's funny if he found out Jaden identity as Prince of Duels when he went to get Seto approval for King of Colloseum for Hassleberry and subsequent graduating seniors

I haven’t decided how Crowler is going to find out yet.

I know the kids are going to learn Jaden’s identity as the Prince of Duels during the tournament arc.

While him finding out during Hasselberry’s senior 3rd year could be fun.

I think Crowler will learn during the ‘day of wrecking.’ When the Kaiba bros come to fire people.

The whole staff is freaking out. Thee Seto Kaiba is coming to the school with his husband Yugi Muto, his brother Mokuba Kaiba, his brother-in-law Atem Muto, as well as some high level employees. The staff knows something big is about to happen but they don’t know what.

Crowler is walking towards the meeting wrangling his hands in nervousness. This is so bad. This was a horrible year. They lost the school to a different dimension. Then a group of students ran a rescue mission to another dimension. One that the Kaiba family had been dragged into (he doesn’t know why they went yet) then all the events of season 4. Not to mention the evil cult last year, and the shadow riders the year before.

Crowler has been afraid that they would all be fired for years. And now the time has come he can feel it. He’s walking towards his death.

When suddenly a hand shot out and pulled him into a side room. He shrieked and turned to see one Joey Wheeler. What is he doing here? Well there was a group of master duelists in the island.

“Hey Crowler.” They had met in the dark world. “A buddy of mine is looking for you.” And Crowler swallows hard because Joey Wheeler has a lot of ‘buddies’ buddies who have a lot of power over his job.

Joey leads him to a private meeting room and motions for him to go in and then step in front of the door to make sure no one else went in.

Crowler is expecting Yugi or Atem Muto. Not a nervous looking Jaden Yuki. “Jaden? What are you doing here?” He’s happy to see his student again but also so confused. And then worried because trouble follows Jaden like a moth to a flame. What if something else had happened and Jaden was trying to save the world again? Did he need help?

“Hey Dr. Crowler. I was hoping to talk to you about something.” And Jaden is obviously nervous and he’s motioned for both of them to sit down. Crowler has a very important meeting with Seto Kaiba that he’s going to be late to because of this but one of his favorite students is back and looking more like a scared child than he’s ever seen him. The Kaiba’s can wait. Crowler’s probably getting fired anyways. He can spend his last moments as a teacher helping one of his students.

“Of course Jaden. What is it?”

“Um well…. I kinda lied on my entrance paperwork.” Crowlers confused on why that would matter now. If he had known that before he could have Jaden thrown out of school but Jaden has already graduated. They might that his diploma away but why would it matter when Jaden’s saved the school more times then crowler probably knows of. “See my last name isn’t Yuki anymore. It’s Muto.”

Crowler sits there staring at Jaden for a long moment. “Dr. Crowler?” Jaden asks worriedly. He had expected a bigger reaction. Crowler faints and falls out of his chair. “Yep there it is.” Jaden says as he walks over to make sure his teacher is alright, while texting his Oto-san that he had told Crowler and they would be late to the meeting.

Crowler misses the ‘day of wrecking meeting and wakes up to find the whole Muto family around. Jaden, his dads, and uncles and aunts. There is no denying what Jaden said when he’s literally talking to Yugi and calling him dad. Crowler wants to cry. He’s so fired.

He’s not. He’s got a promotion but also way stricter rules for the academy to follow.

Kyana & Dani - Highschool AU - Studying Together :)

Just a generic high school au - I made Kyana learn math.

I did actual math for this, be proud of me.

 “You’re good at math, right?” Kyana asked, setting her chin down on Dani’s desk, all the way stretched out to reach it without leaving her chair.

 “Yes.” Dani raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

 “Can you help me study for the test?” Kyana smiled at Dani, who just frowned back.

 “No.” Dani replied flatly, pulling her backpack over her chair and starting to put books away.

 “Aw, come on.. Please!” Kyana pleaded.

 “Nope.” Dani said, zipping up her backpack.

-

 “So, do you remember what you’re supposed to do for this kind of problem?” Dani asked with a sigh, pointing at the twelfth problem she had written.

 Kyana read through it with a hum. “For that first part.. that’s the ‘X’ times itself 3 times, right?”

 “Yep.” Dani said, doodling circles on the side of the paper as Kyana kept talking.

 “We’re supposed to be finding the ‘X’?” Kyana asked.

 “Yep.” Dani repeated.

  Kyana leaned over the paper, starting to solve the problem on the paper without asking anything. “Oh, its just 6!” Kyana said, sounding surprised somehow. 

 Dani nodded, still doodling circles. “Good job, let’s try a more complicated problem then. Just skip a few ahead.” Dani didn’t really even look over, very bored. 

 “Okay!” Kyana smiled, skipping three problems ahead. “The one with the ‘X’ on both sides?”

 “Yup.” Dani was already halfway through her cats. 

 Kyana started to solve it, only freeze when she was almost done. “Dani, I ended up with 1, which needs to be divided by 6..?”

 “Just put it as a fraction.” Dani shrugged, surrounding her cats with fire and giving them little eyebrows now, making them look like they caused the flames.

 “My math teacher doesn’t let us use fractions, only decimals.”

 “Do you not remember how to do decimals?”

 Kyana gave a vague shrug. “I always mess up on a it a little.”

 “How do you mess up?” Dani looked up at Kyana, no longer doodling her fire and cats.

 “I put the decimals in the wrong place a lot.”

 “How?” Dani asked.

 Kyana shrugged. “I just don’t think about it too much.”

 “That explains everything about you.” Dani chuckled.

 “Hey! That’s mean!”

 “Just try this one, round it up and stuff.” Dani started twirling her pen. 

 “I can do this kind pretty easily, I won’t mess up on two tiny numbers. I’m just saying for bigger ones.”

 “Okay, that makes more sense.”

-

 “Hey, Dani..” Kyana said, poking at Dani at the end of class at the end of the week.

 “Oh no..” Dani said sarcastically, looking over at Kyana.

 “I passed my test!”

 “Okay? Good job. Do you want a cookie or something?”

 “Wanna go for ice cream with me and my foster dad? He said he’d pay for your ice cream since you helped me study!”

 Dani got noticeably excited, but pushed it down. “I’ll have to ask Uncle Oto first.”

 “Aww..” Kyana pouted.

 Dani gave Kyana an awkward shoulder pat. “He’s unlikely to care. See you later, Kyana.”

 “Hopefully for ice cream!”

 “Hopefully for ice cream.”

Hello friend. I come for OC x oc ask.

I give you Helena.

Spider woman of Coursant known as Krykna. pale, bright blue eyes with black hair, saved down on one side, light freckles. daughter of a cardiologist and Scientists Hemlock. welder/mechanic contractor for GAR, engineer assistant to Oto Octavos. former street fighter, got bit when she 15, uncle died, mom died, dad abandoned her. been spider-woman for 10 years.

Shes protective of the people she loves. Can't take compliments and tries to not draw attention to herself.

She can get defensive if shes feeling vulnerable and reflects with jokes/puns. She can flirt but gets flustered when given the same treatment.

Platonic or relationship whatever your choice.

Happy Tuesday 😌

friend! thank you for this; I am very excited by the thoughts it's giving me >:)

is it cliche to say Mei just because they're both mechanics? maybe. do i care? not one bit, because the two of these women together makes my brain short circuit

just thinking about Mei and Helena working in the same mechanic shop and being casual work buddies for the longest time, and Mei of course knows nothing about Helena's secret identity. Mei thinks Helena is really pretty, and harbors feelings for her, but respects their work relationship too much to jeopardize that over a crush.

and then Mei is out one night at the wrong place at the wrong time--having worked late on a contract order for the GAR, took a shortcut home that she shouldn't have. She tries to fight her way out, but there are a few too many of the bad guys surrounding her, and she starts to panic--

Until Krykna shows up and saves her.

Mei is, of course, a little star-struck and flustered. She goes to work the next day and the only person she tells about the incident is Helena, because Mei doesn't want the attention from their other colleagues, and completely misses the way that Helena is awkward about the whole thing.

The whole incident, though, makes Mei really reevaluate her view on life, and so it's not long afterwards that she shoots her shot and asks Helena out. To her surprise and gratitude, Helena agrees.

Mei finds out about Krykna by accident. She hadn't meant to snoop, honest, but she'd seen sketches of Krykna in a notebook in Helena's bedroom while spending the night, and curiosity got the better of her while Helena was in the 'fresher. Imagine her surprise when the sketch wasn't just for fun, but for a suit improvement.

Mei honestly comes to find it hilarious that she had a crush on her girlfriend twice: Helena, and Krykna.

and now I want a whole AU of these two.

thank you so much for letting me play dolls with your blorbo <3
