#uncle tooru

[ciaossu-imagines]

Switching up the prompt, I used this reaction prompt to write some reactions for Servamp. Really, these characters are so dynamic that these were probably the easiest reactions I wrote! I let the wheel choose five characters for me to continue the angst train on and hope you guys will enjoy!

The character puts a gun to your head while you’re facing a different direction. What’s the last thing they say to you before pulling the trigger?

Shamrock

To give this situation context, I feel like the only way this comes about is either because Tsubaki ordered you killed or Shamrock believes that you, in some way, betrayed him. He’s very sensitive, because of the events with C3 in his past, to anything he portrays as betrayal, and it does make him murderous. I feel like, whether it was an order from his ‘young master’ or whether it was him getting revenge for a perceived betrayal of him, Shamrock wouldn’t speak. It’s been shown canonically that he actually remembers murdering a former friend of his with some amount of glee and happiness, showing some seriously disturbing mental tendencies and I feel he’d approach the situation with the same glee and happiness. Instead of hearing any words from him in those last moments, I think you’d hear his laughter, beginning soft and growing louder and more insane.

Tooru

Tooru’s doing everything he can to not pull the trigger, actually. If there is any way, any way at all, that he doesn’t have to pull that trigger, he’s trying it. If the situation came about because you turned on C3 or on him and you were openly a threat to both him and others, he’s still trying to capture you alive. He has no problem using other people in that case to help him and it would still likely be someone else to kill you. If the situation came about because he received orders to kill you, but he doesn’t honestly think you’re a threat, I feel like the words you would hear are… ‘do you trust me?’ Because he’ll have a plan to make it so that you ‘disappear’, a plan to make it look like the order was followed while getting you to safety, but only if you are genuinely not a current threat and promise to remain that way. Simply put, killing you would be something he would regret, and he doesn’t do regrets.

Higan

This situation would only come about if you turned on Tsubaki or if Tsubaki ordered Higan to eliminate you. It would be one of the few times he didn’t relish a fight or a chance to kill, honestly. He doesn’t want to do it; it brings him no joy. But he takes his orders seriously and his loyalty to Tsubaki is unmatched so do it he will. I feel like you loved the haiku’s he was always spouting, and it was something he really loved about you. He’d spend the previous hours, maybe days, making sure he had the perfect haiku, written just for you, and it would be the last thing he says to you before pulling the trigger, something beautiful to send you to the afterworld with.

Touma

Touma has to have a reason to kill you, but the reason could have been small. If he felt that you were going to stand in his way, if you were a hindrance to his plans, if he felt you were a distraction to Tsurugi or any of his other pawns…anything along those lines. No matter how fond of you he might have gotten, he can separate himself from his personal feelings enough to carry through with your murder…but somehow, I can’t help but think that his last words to you… ‘thank you’.

JeJe

This situation would be absolute last resort and done only on the order of Mikuni or because you were looking to attack or kill Mikuni. JeJe doesn’t form bonds easily and it would be incredibly hard on him if you and him were at all close before that point, which I see being the case in this scenario. He cared about you, something he doesn’t do for many people, and he’ll show you kindness to the very end. You never see it coming, there’s no sound, no words from him…it’s over in less than a second, clean and quick, done so that you felt nothing. He would do anything to ensure you never had to suffer. While he never says anything out loud, I feel like his last words would be spoken in his head and would be a prayer for your soul to find peace and happiness.

Takeru's reaction:

[ravendavia]

iwaoi x the man from u.n.c.l.e

[iwaoiness]

Hajime is home

Iwaizumi's lying on the three-seater sofa, legs up and Takeru's little body on the soles of his feets, laughing and holding tightly to Iwaizumi's safe hands as he swings his little legs and shouts with laughter "I'm an aeroplane, uncle Iwa! I'm flying high and high!"

And Tooru, on the floor, leaning against the one-seater sofa, his legs tucked in and his head resting on his arms crossed over his knees, smiles lovingly. His ears are delighted by the mixture of his nephew's laughter and Hajime's laughter.

He loves how Iwa-chan has always been part of his family, how they have grown up sharing two fathers, two mothers and an older sister. He loves how, in fact, Iwa-chan is family, how he relates his name to that, to home, to warmth, to protection.

To salvation.

[childrenofthesun77]

Tsurugi is talking with touma over the phone here and we only hear tsurugi's side of the conversation. I know yoshimasa was the closest thing touma had to a good father figure so I can see him trying to be nice to his kids, but the image of touma picking up shuhei and his little sister from school is still funny.

[keijoikawa]

all day i’ve been longing for post timeskip aikawa and all the petnames he started to call me when he was settling into living in argentina… cariño, mi amor, princesa… eventually mi reina when we marry… (〃ω〃)

Servamp chapter 139 translation "Daylight"

Read the chapter on Mangadex!

Translation notes

The title of the chapter 真昼の光 can also be interpreted as "Mahiru's light", so it wasn't easy to decide because we can't tell if the title is meant to have Mahiru's name or the translation of the word 真昼 "mahiru". Regarding the 2ndpage, Mahiru used the word もの (mono) and because it wasn't written in kanji, it can be interpreted either as "things" or "people.

Written with the kanji 者 is mainly used to specify someone's role/characteristic rather than just as a generic term for "person."

I personally think it's weird that 人 (hito) "person" wasn't used. Mahiru's first line could be interpreted as "things" he believes in, but the 2nd one can only refer to people belevng in him.

Because of the panels with Kuro and Tooru, I think in both lines もの is reffering to people.

Tooru likes to make puns which in Japanese are called "dajare" ダジャレ. Tooru makes puns using the structure だけに which translates something like "because…you know?"

The first time he makes a joke was in volume 2, so I'm gonna try explain how it works to understand how I adapted Jun's line, so we have to go back to the early chapters of the manga.

In Japanese he says 強盗めどこに隠れた！？　怖じ気づいたか！？ 叔父だけに！！

The first word 怖じ気 (ojike) means "fear" and the second one means "uncle." The first one has consists of the word "oji", like the word "uncle"

怖じ気づいたか can be translates as "Did you get scared?" but it can also be interpreted like "You took notice of (the) fear? And the last sentence would translate like "Because I'm the uncle, you know?" The wordplay is based on the word "oji" and in those sentences, they translate as "uncle" and "fear". Hopefully I made sense ;;

So, I interpret that he's saying something like "Get it? I'm the uncle (the fear).

"Are you scared of me? Because I'm the uncle! (you know)"

I'm praising the localization, which is rare because most of the manga, especially the early volumes were translated badly, however, I checked to see how his joke was handled.

In my opinion, it was a good call to use the expression "cry uncle". So yeah, I tried my best to explain how those kinds of puns work so that you can understand the one that Jun proposed, who apparently knows about Tooru's puns. Jun says 「雷神だけに」 The first two kanji mean "god of lightning" and the furigana reading is Thor which is Jun's codename and previously it was Tooru's. Even his name was based on Thor.

So, my interpretation is that when Jun is asking Tooru "You're not going to make a joke like "Because I'm Thor", will you?" to which Tooru replies that he won't, I think he's saying that although Mahiru borrowed his power (lightning), making a joke about Thor (himself) wouldn't have been appropriate since Mahiru created light. I'm sorry if I didn't explain very well ;;

Regarding Kuro's line in the last panel, instead of translating the word only in furigana, I used both readings because it was less ambiguous in my opinion. The furigana reads "our", so it would have been "It's not our time" and thus, in order to not give the impression that Kuro wasn't referring only to himself and Tsubaki, I used the other reading too.

So, apparently Sakuya can make clones/illusions of himself but I don't understand how they work in regard to the 5 second part. The name of his ability comes from "The Five Minute Hypothesis" but it was changed to "second". The intended reading in furigana sounds weird because it has the word "yesterday" and "to die" is in the future tense. I haven't found a reference for it, like I expected that it could have been from a novel.

Lastly, in the middle panel, the woman says the word 他人 (tanin) which means "other people" or "strangers", however the furigana reads 人 (hito) "people". Could be a typo or maybe there is a meaning behind it... So yeah, I hope these notes were helpful!

[iwaasfairy]

( question about atsukooo.~ ) when did our little one develop such a lust for his mommy? when did it start? how did it start? did he reject it at first? ⛩️ sorry for the constant asks btw, my schedule freed up big time

YESS of course bby I love talking about hIMMM and I love your asks shush come here I kiss you

tw incest, sexual exploration

Honestly, I think Atsuko always had a preoccupied attachment style. He grew up with you protecting him from the world and cherishing him and doting on him, but you also weren’t exactly ready to be a mom yet? You try your best, but sometimes when Tooru bothers you and pokes and prods you just can’t stand to be around anyone, and those dips in affection make Atsuko very clingy.

Ko isn’t stupid, even as a kid he catches glimpses of how Tooru grabs your chin and pulls you close and how he stares at you sooo hungrily sometimes. But it’s normal, right? Uncle Tooru’s always been in his life and you don’t stop him, so it must be. And Ko’s best friend also doesn’t have a relationship with his mom, and it’s pretty obvious Taishi’d do just about anything to get your approval and somehow that makes pride stir in Atsuko’s chest.

You’re just so great and pretty and warm, everyone is attracted to you. You must be the most lovely mom in the world. Maybe even the most lovely and wanted person ever. So he feels good when he’s close to you, when he has your full attention, and when you praise him it makes him feel over the moon (｡+･`ω･´) he just can’t help but be a little bit of a show off around you? because you always reacted so sweetly whenever he did

And so he’s definitely aware of how much he wants to be your… something, sure he likes Tooru and Iwa, but not like he likes you. By the time he’s in high school he understands that there’s no man in your life -he’s the man in your life, uncle Tooru doesn’t count right?- and that gives him a responsibility to protect you back and stay close to you and cherish you, right? It is perfectly normal that he wants to be the main person in his mom’s life, he loves you. He has no choice but to love you.

He gets a streak of giddy pride when you cheer in the stands for him at his games, and though he wants to do good for himself, it’s the sweaty hug he can give you afterwards that makes it fun. You’re soft and you smell good and you like him too much for his poor young man brain to handle. If anyone asked, he’d proudly say that ‘his mom raised him’, and did a damn good job.

But it isn’t exactly like he thinks anything is weird!! He just likes your smell and your waist and watching your legs, and he likes catching glimpses of your tits and when he kisses you sometimes he wants to slip his tongue in your pretty mouth. That’s normal. He’s perfectly normal about you. But when his friends talk about girls their first thought isn’t to their moms. That when they close their eyes and beat one out, it isn’t thinking about your face and your lips and your tits that are pressed to him in every hug, and how good you’d feel skin to skin. How you’d sound whimpering his name.

They don’t talk about having thought of your face when he first slid his cock inside his girlfriend at the time and turning her around so he can imagine you. When they say something about thongs and pocketing underwear, he laugh, because how can he explain your lingerie that’s littered in his room because it feels better to fuck his hand when he can smell you. Is there something wrong with him? Why— it isn’t like he isn’t interested in other girls. He is, he likes the attention, and they’re hot.

But you’re on his mind day in and day out. He wants to rub his waist against you when you get close to him and —god, what the hell is wrong with him. Why does he want to have your body in his lap and squirming on his fingers more than he wants anyone else? You’re just so warm and sweet and kind of- innocent, in a way that is way too easy to exploit. You just let him walk all over you sometimes, and he’s gotten so much bigger than you, and somehow that turns him on too.

But he’d never act on it. You’re a single mom and you love him and he should never ever let anyone know how hard his cock gets when he’s paying a bit too close attention to you. He’ll just continue to walk into your shower time and snuggle up when you’re sleeping and that’ll be enough. He can live with that, right? Maybe he should get a new girlfriend to take the edge off things. He’s fine to just pretend- as long as you’re his and he’s yours.

…..so you can imagine the feeling he gets when he walks into the house early and hears your moans ring down the hall and sound so fucking hot, and you’re whimpering and begging and through the crack of the door he sees Uncle Tooru blow your back out and call you ‘his, only his, his girl, pretty baby’ and— really, that guy? You’re fucking your stepdad and begging him for more, and Tooru grunts about putting another baby in you.

Motherfucker.

I’m back to into Haikyuu!! And before I say anything - I absolutely adore Kageyama. It’s been a minute that have thought about his character/ discussed him. But recently came across some really great character studies of him.

Here is a list of Fics I read recently which I fell do his character justice (and just because I like them). (These are amazing fics by some great authors)

1) The best thing you (n)ever had by eleasofia

Summary: When Oikawa is asked out by Kageyama for the first time, he turns him down, saying he wouldn't date someone who is so clearly inferior to him. Three years later, after Seijou's loss to Karasuno, Kageyama asks again, and despite not really (read as: absolutely not) wanting to, Oikawa somehow ends up agreeing nevertheless. It might really be time to forget about old grudges and move on. Turns out, it's even harder than he thought it would be.

2) Normal by AuthorInDistress

Published: 2018-10-15 Words: 5,031 Chapters: 1/1

Summary: A special guest is here in Kageyama's town and he couldn't care less.

3) I don’t know where we’re going, but I’d like to be by your side by voices_in_my_head

Published: 2020-08-03 Words: 8,548 Chapters: 1/1

Summary: "Atsumu doesn’t approach Kageyama Tobio the first day of the youth training camp, but he does keep an eye on him. He’s not the only one; everyone is curious about the main setter of the team that finally uncrowned Shiratorizawa."

Or: once Atsumu got to meet the real Kageyama, he never stood a chance. Honestly, he's not that bothered about it.

4) With all my love (And almost all of my mind) by rumxrs

Kei heaves a sigh, raking a hand through his short blonde curls. Tobio repeats the action unknowingly, and shivers shortly afterwards. A nervous shiver, like death was sending spearmint puffs of air down his neck.

Their story; told in snapshots, phone conversations, and dreams.

Published: 2016-03-29 Words: 2,175 Chapters: 1/1

5) Make It True, Takeru by luvtooru

Summary: After overhearing his uncle Oikawa mention he had a crush on someone with 'black hair and blue eyes,' Takeru assumes he’s talking about Kageyama, the grumpy setter from Karasuno. Unaware that Oikawa actually meant Shimizu-san, Takeru dives headfirst into a chaotic mission to play matchmaker—for the wrong person

Published: 2024-11-10 Words: 7,969 Chapters: 1/1

6) can this be a real thing (can it?) by akaashism (acciomerlin)

Summary: Tobio has an unexpectedly steamy dream about Oikawa one night. He tries his best to grapple with the resulting cocktail of feelings it invokes, but maybe an accidental revelation has its own set of rewards in store.

Published: 2023-06-20 Words: 10,712 Chapters: 2/2

7) What do you see when you look at me? By Aync1lgw

Summary: Three people - A woman who has been pining after Oikawa for years and finally wants to confess her feelings, a taxi driver who just happened to pick Oikawa and Kageyama up from the bar and then Oikawa's old roommate from medical school with whom Oikawa was sharing a rental apartment for the week. What is it that these people see when they look at Oikawa Tooru and Kageyama Tobio together?

Published: 2021-11-24 Words: 5,739 Chapters: 1/1

8) infernal devices by lettucehope

Summary: In a quest for revenge, Tobio learns that store-bought flames work just fine when you're summoning the powers of Hell.

Published: 2022-07-02 Words: 26,886 Chapters: 8/8

9) Cute bastard by mitoe

Summary: Oikawa calls Kageyama cute bastard every time he sees him and Kageyama hates it

oikawa tooru .°˖✧

seijoh’s volleyball captain and distant uncle of the team (most certainly not a co-parent). did not realize that what he felt for y/n was romantic until their first year in secondary school when she tried to distance herself and now he feels stupid. whenever he needs to be put in his place (e.g. after leading on another girl too much) he can always count on iwa to talk him down and remind him about how badly he’s messed up </3 currently pining after y/n without making it obvious because he’s scared of ruining what they have in case y/n doesn’t like him the same way back - follows y/n's private on his main and private in case she ever decides to give him a second chance </3 - known for unfollowing people when he wants to say something without someone in specific knowing (e.g. ranting about the one sided mental war he's fighting with kenma inside his head without kuroo knowing). once he feels that his point has been made, he'll delete the post and follow the person again so that they can see his private (y/n uses this and the picture he leaked as reason for why she's never letting him back onto her private when in reality they're just excuses to be able to indirectly post about him without him ever knowing)

FEATURING...

iwaizumi hajime & bokuto koutaro .°˖✧

iwa-chan

co-parenting seijoh with y/n. also their ace and vice captain. will have an aneurysm if neither tooru nor y/n make a move on each other. he loves y/n but he will only be able to handle oikawa for so much longer. maybe he’d be able to last if he got to go to y/n’s girls nights more but that’s kuroo’s role while he has to attend tooru’s boys nights as his best man. he’s feeling a little bit like atlas rn but he knows it’ll be worth it in the end (if they ever get to the end).

bokuto

FUKURODANI’S ACE !!! found his way into the solar system after a practice match between fukoridani and seijoh. he could tell immediately that something was up between their manager and captain. he had fun getting to know oikawa and felt like he had seen their manager before. bo talked it over with akaashi, asking him if he felt like there was something going on between seijoh’s manager and captain. akaashi nodded and then was shocked when he fully processed how socially aware bo was being. he then answered bo that yes, he had seen their manager before because she was good friends with kuroo. after that, he knew who to talk to in order to get the details ❤️ his entrance into the gc went as follows: oikawa: why was bokuto just added to the gc kuroo: he would like to speak for himself your honor bokuto: I KNOW YOUR SECRET

mattsun

seijoh’s middle blocker and one of five third years. him and makki are just there for a good time, and watching essentially four people and a few more distant people try and manage the mutual pining of two idiots who might as well be blind qualifies as entertaining. he’s taken it upon himself to maintain the mental stability of the team whenever oikawa’s messes up and sends y/n through the five stages of grief--starting with setting up the net for the team

makki

seijoh’s outside hitter and one of five third years. is thinking that perhaps him and mattsun should get onto the trend of co-parenting and adopting someone. they’ve assumed the role of the grandparents that seijoh’s team has to put up with whenever y/n or iwa are out of commission LMAO both him and mattsun usually get oikawa’s side of the story but sometimes they work together to try and fit the vague, out-of-context tweets on y/n’s private into the puzzle of oikawa’s stories

not featured:

kuroo tetsuro </3

currently undercover for y/n but he can’t complain. is still good friends with oikawa and as a result hears about a lot of his feelings in their groupchat but when it comes down to it he’s on y/n’s side. neither oikawa nor y/n realize how much information both iwa and kuroo have because they’re good at what they do. kuroo’s trying his best to alleviate iwa’s stress as he continues to watch the disaster of miscommunication occur between his two childhood friends that's been happening since they were kids

Crushed bangs

Takeru's leaning out the window of Tooru's room, balancing lightly on his knees propped up on the blue-colored pouf that matches the curtains. He has both arms crossed over the window frame, one of his hands holding the carton of apple and grape juice that he continues to sip lazily. His curious eyes watch somewhat interest at the black specks flying over the orange sky that covers all of Miyagi on that warm Saturday of July, gliding in front of elongated clouds that look like jagged strokes of paint.

The chirping of those same birds can be heard, as well as the sound of quiet traffic a few meters from the Oikawa residence, the barking of a stray dog, the rash rash of Minamoto-san's broom who always sweeps the entrance to her store at this hour before closing.

The kid is about to get up, go back inside the room and steal some of the knick-knacks that Tooru hides inside an old volleyball when the familiar sound of a motorbike makes him stand up immediately. His eyes drop down to the road in time to catch a Yamaha YZF stopping in front of the Iwaizumi house, ahead of the Oikawa residence itself.

When he recognizes Hajime's figure on the motorbike (and deliberately ignores the second figure) Takeru's eyes sparkle like stars and his smile spreads from ear to ear.

"It's Hajime-san!" He exclaims to himself, almost vibrating in place.

The motorbike’s engine shuts off and Takeru takes a deep breath to shout out the name of his favorite uncle, as the second figure gets off the vehicle and Hajime's full attention turns to him.

The little kiddo blinks, more curious now, crouches down almost out of inertia, sinking a little between his shoulders and holding the frame this time with his little hands after setting his juice aside. Tooru's voice reverberates down the road (all, to no one's surprise, are complaints about how useless the helmets are and what an assault on the integrity of his hair they are and that he's sick of his bangs losing volume). Takeru rolls his eyes (and tries to deny that the drama really runs through his veins as well), but looks up again when Hajime's low chuckle slips in between his complaints.

Iwaizumi's still on his motorbike, his solid legs planted on either side of the vehicle and his thick arms resting on the handlebars. The helmet rests in front of him, just above the gas tank. And his head is tilted, watching Oikawa. Even from a distance, Takeru can see the tender smile plastered on his lips despite the fact that he's teasing his uncle ("but isn't this the natural state of your bangs?") and how his gaze's filled with something Takeru's also seen in his dad's eyes toward his mom and grandma's towards grandpa.

There is more teasing and more laughter and indignant squawks from his uncle. Also light touches like one hand slapping the other, a gentle nudge on a shoulder, a kick on a shin. And also fingers that intertwine and caress and join and untwines.

It's not the first time (in fact, he lost count months ago) that Takeru has seen his uncles being affectionate because ever since they started dating a year ago (and seven months, Takeru-chin!, he's reminded by his uncle's silly voice), Tooru has become much more clingy (if that was even possible) with Iwa-chan and never misses a chance to cling to him in a thousand different ways.

This time, however, it's all sort of more intimate and nothing to do with Oikawa teasingly biting Iwaizumi's nose before he smacks his head and scolds him. The teasing dies down and is now soft whispers and shy giggles. Takeru really feels like he is interrupting and invading their privacy and is about to leave; but his uncle leans over to Hajime and kisses him.

The boy stifles a scream and quickly lowers his head, resting his forehead on his palms as he feels his cheeks heat up.

He gives himself a few seconds to calm down and, praying that they don't prolong their kiss like in the PG movies, slowly raises his eyes, peering over the window frame as if he were a kitten.

Fortunately, they have stopped kissing and Oikawa is crossing now the street to the house. Takeru blinks towards Iwaizumi, now standing next to the motorbike, slowly stowing his helmet in the saddle, eyes solely on Tooru, the same crooked smile on his lips.

"Hey, Tooru!" Hajime speaks loudly from the other sidewalk and Takeru sees his uncle turn around. "Remember that I love you even with your bangs crushed!"

And Oikawa laughs, bright and happy, and his voice sounds giggly, natural and totally in love.

"I know, Hajime-chan! I love you even when your feets smell!"

Iwaizumi's laughter reverberates as well and there is an affectionate fuck you between guffaws.

Tooru resumes walking, almost trotting with his helmet in his hands. Takeru hears the front door opening, a loud "Tadaima!" and the closing of the door. But he continues to look with some curiosity at Hajime, who after making sure that Oikawa really does enter the house, finally moves, dragging his motorbike towards the garage of his home.

"Takeru!" The boy jumps in place and quickly turns his head back, meeting his uncle down the doorway, his helmet now under his arm, one hand on his hip and his eyes narrowed down his furrowed brow. "How many times have I told you not to come into my room when I'm not around? And what are you doing leaning out the window, you might fall out!"

Takeru watches him carefully as he continues to scold him, approaching his bookshelf and standing on tiptoe to stow the helmet on the top shelf.

"And even if it's the second floor, you know there's mom's geraniums and lavender just below and she'll not only kill you if you survive the fall but me too!"

The little boy finally settles into the pouff, sinking into the seat.

"Uncle Tooru"

"What?"

"Does Hajime-san really love you even with crushed bangs?"

And that causes Oikawa to trip over his own feet as he approaches his wardrobe, barely managing to keep his balance (and pride) before turning to his nephew, eyes wide and cheeks fully aflame.

"W-What?! D-Did y-?! W-Were you listening?!"

Takeru shrugs, grinning.

"You guys are loud."

Oikawa looks at him for a few more seconds with his mouth wide open and Takeru widens his smile, crossing his arms. Tooru tries to say something but he ends up taking a deep breath and:

"M-Mom! Takeru is bothering me again!"

"That's a lie, oba-chan! I'm doing nothing!"

UNCLE TOORU IS BACK YOU MOTHA FUCKA

Look at my lil mew mew cry in happiness

[katzkinder]

Okay so the dichotomy between your Sakuya Cherry Bomb idea and Yarra's Kuro vtuber is hilarious to me because like.

Sakuya: Fans only know him as Cherry Bomb and don't know anything about him outside of his music.

Vs

Kuro: Vtuber Lore is literally just his life but it should be fine because people dont know vampires are real.

I FUCKING FOUND IT. LINK TO THE CHERRY BOMB POST 🍒💣

Anyway one of the reasons for the difference is I headcanon Sakuya as being a 90s kid! as in, he died in the 90s--

This, naturally, makes him a lot more wary about the info he puts out there on the internet, but it also means his internet experience was molded by Ye Olden Days when creators were a lot less available to their fanbases and interacted with them very little, if at all.

He doesn't even have a fanart hub, and his icon is just a random street in tokyo he thought looked nice.

His classmates REALLY do not get why Sakuya is so paranoid, so Sakuya shows them how easy it would be for a super dedicated person to figure out exactly where Mahiru’s apartment is using his cooking tutorial videos (uploaded under the channel name "Sunny Mama" courtesy of Kuro) and basic realtor research

Things like Mahiru apologizing for any construction noise and using the time stamp to figure out which apartment complexes had construction in their vicinity during that time, floor plans, how even his living situation and the model of his appliances can all be used to narrow down the area he lives in.

“He lives with his uncle and the camera man, which means at least two rooms. We can see the stove top and the front of the oven, so I take a screenshot of that and… Ah, this is the brand. Now I research the model. Okay, I have two components. He mentions that he walks to school, so that’s a two bedroom apartment in Tokyo within walking distance of a high school with good quality appliances, which means I can rule out a lot of run down complexes. This grocery bag was in frame during this video, and a high school kid Mahiru’s age wouldn’t have a license, so now I add that name of the store to my list of things I know are around the complex because when you go grocery shopping, you don’t want to carry the bags a long distance home…”

The faces of his friends are full of horror.

"And that’s not even getting into the drinking with uncle segment that happens in their living room, with full view of the balcony because Mahiru hates the place getting musty so he leaves the curtains open a lot. Knowing what buildings are viewable from there can also tell someone where a place is, especially if you’re thorough enough to consider the angle you’re seeing everything at.” Sakuya glances up and closes his laptop. “So, yeah.”

Mahiru makes a Noise, fretting, "Wait, so what do I do now??"

Sakuya feels a little bad for scaring his friend, but it's for his own good! “Keep your curtains closed, make sure the screws in your door frame are the really long kind to prevent someone from just kicking the door off its hinges, don’t get electronic locks because it’s stupid easy to trick those into unlocking, and just… Be more careful? Wear a mask from now on and go back and edit footage to remove your face from the visible shot. Try and keep things focused on your hands instead, maybe…”

"Should I get rid of the drinking with uncle part? Since that always focuses on Uncle Tooru's reactions..."

"He’s a grown up and an old man. Nobody’s going to be interested in pulling him into a windowless white van unless it’s those creep show friends of his…”

"Wh--Why would anyone be interested in pulling me into a windowless white van?!"

"Sex trafficking."

"Eh?"

"Or stealing your organs."

"Eh?"

“Or even just some obsessive pervert who’s built up some kind of fantasy in their head that you’re fated for one another but you just don’t realize it yet.”

"What."

As you can tell. Yeah. Sakuya really internalized those 90s internet safety psas. He's also well acquainted with the idea of a very dedicated stalker for. Reasons.

Tsubaki voice: that boy just isn't right...
