My next four prompts for Fashioctober! Gyaru, Sanrio, Jirai Kei, and Oversized featuring Noriko, Koneko, Urara, and Miu!

[fanbun]

Suisei is absolutely right. Calli’s music at the start of her Hololive career was radical for being so different. But I think what was even more radical than that was her entire character from her debut. She literally started her new job by satirizing idol culture in a way that was risky when joining a virtual idol company like Hololive.

The running joke in her debut stream was that she couldn’t keep up her fake voice and overly polite demeanor without cringing at herself. This was of course meant to emphasize the gap when she broke character and her brash, cool side came out, as evidenced by the beginning of her featured song. But it was no doubt meant to be tongue-in-cheek and intentionally provocative through its sudden violation of idol norms. “Excuse my rudeness but could you please RIP?”

And she did get pushback for it. There were claims that she was a grifter for joining Hololive despite “disrespecting” idol culture. And that was all because she made fun of certain aspects of it, such as the expectation to be soft-spoken and cute.

She was also one of the first to collaborate with members of the male branch and encouraged her audience to watch them as well. That is huge considering how angry certain fans get about female-male collaborations within the idol industry. And I believe it really shows her strength of character to continue defying idol norms that are in fact super toxic in nature while at the same time embracing the positive side.

It worried me for a while that she might be aiding controversy too much, especially in her response to certain internet dramas, but she seems to be in a much better headspace than before. And I admire how much her presence has been a net positive for Hololive overall.

more octavinelle thoughts (albeit more floyd-focused) but!!! a concept in which you are an idol and the twins are your bodyguards and azul is your very scummy, sleazy manager who would do virtually anything so long as his star angelfish can shine brighter than the other idols and their agencies. though the idol industry is cutthroat and stressful, thanks to azul’s quick wit, the leech twins’ connections, and lots of smart investments you manage to gain success relatively quickly. that’s the entire point, after all, and yet even with your success in recent years there are ominous shadows that stretch far and wide. 

floyd dwells in these shadows, always teetering between being happy for your newfound success and loathing the fact that you’re so popular and busy now. even though he follows you everywhere (he and jade are bound to you via contract, but floyd could care less about the legal bond between the both of you), it’s always for business. he’s forced to keep within certain boundaries so as to not cause legal trouble, personal trouble, and just overall trouble for the fans and you. there are times he’s thought of wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you against him after it became an irritating chore to watch you pose for pictures or sign various things when fans would recognize and approach you. he wants to prove something by doing this, but he’s not sure what. prove that you’re untouchable to the general public—that only he can lay a finger on you? prove that you are no one’s idol? prove that you belong to him? 

floyd hates this feeling. it’s as if he’s wrapped in fishing netting and there’s no escaping no matter how much he bites and claws. the more he thrashes, the more it winds itself around him, constrictive and painful. it hurts to see you shine so brightly while knowing fully well he can’t truly have you. you’re meant to put on an act to prove to everyone that you are accessible and loyal only to the arts. therefore no romance for you. even your personal and work relationships are difficult to navigate because no matter who you’re associated with fans will get envious, or they’ll make rash judgements. 

floyd’s thought about yanking you up to his height to kiss you square on the mouth while out in public with you. he’s thought about taking you in the recording studio so they’ll have recordings of your voice as it wavers with moans and sobs, and for the right price azul can sell it to tabloid journalists and they’ll release it and the whole world will hear their slutty idol getting fucked by a faceless, mysterious bodyguard. then you’d truly be his because no one would want you. 

he’s thought about keeping his hand planted firmly on your hip when at social gatherings or clinging to you like a luxury handbag. jade often advises against it. as physical as floyd would love to be, he has to follow the rules. floyd hates the rules because he never knows what half of them are or what they entail. he’ll get away with fleeting touches when he can, masking them with the excuse of his job. if a fan attempts to get too handsy with you, he gets to put his hands on your shoulders and steer you away while jade politely advises them of the rules. 

floyd spends so long trapped in this troublesome stage of pining from afar, never to surpass any boundaries, always remaining as your bodyguard, that he begins to wonder if anything will ever change. he wants to get married; you can’t. he wants to settle down and start a family; you can’t. he wants to publicize his love; you can’t. there are so many things you can’t do and it’s so annoying. floyd tries to tell azul that it’s not fair—that you ought to be given more freedoms (“fuck the fans,” he often says)—but he may as well be a petulant child whining over impossible, unsolvable problems. this may be a reality to everyone else, but it isn’t the reality he wants. the reality he wants lies in unreality—in the far corners of his mind, each one a sugared fantasy he often considers when he needs material to get off to. thoughts of you in your pretty, frilly, elaborate idol outfits, each one shredded to pieces to get to warm skin beneath (he’ll buy you a dozen replacement outfits if it means you’ll let him fuck you; hell, he’ll spoil you rotten just so you continue to allow him to stand by your side as your most loyal bodyguard), have him falling over the edge into orgasmic bliss. god, you’re so perfect. so sweet. so soft. so deliciously noisy when you’re practically howling beneath him when he fucks you so hard the bed shudders (and the dreams always fall apart right when he’s about to tell you he loves you in the aftermath). fuck. he wants you all to himself. 

at some point, as his love twists into something unfathomably crooked, he gets it in his mind to knock you up. it’s the perfect solution! secret relationships, publicized romance, and rules be damned; a pregnancy would unravel the carefully crafted spool of thread azul has spent so long spinning to perfection. you really would be his then because it would be undeniable proof. and when your belly is so taut and round with his child, even with azul’s silver tongue, it will be impossible to explain away. and everyone would know. everyone would know you belong to him. your picture-perfect, successful world will cave in on itself, fold itself away into a packet of misery, and from the tendrils of bad, terrible, hateful things floyd will pull you free—right into his arms where you’re meant to be.

today you smiled at him, brought him a snack to thank him for his hard work, and tomorrow he’ll return the favor when he slips something into your drink so you’ll fall into your own little fantasy.

the idol industry is cutthroat, but then so is floyd.

Virtual Character Tourney - Bracket B - Round 8

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Daia propaganda:

she can sing and dance, she's very cute and is gyaru inspired

Cute idol who loves her creator and wants to help her out.

she's an ai created by daia nijinosaki (yes they're both named daia)

Colonel.EXE propaganda:

love Colonel.EXE so much. They're one of the first characters I headcanoned as the same exact type of nonbinary person I am (epicene, in case you're wondering) because their story RESONATED with my young, closeted, fourteen year old heart so much that I had to epicene beam them. Secondly, I relate to their complicated mental health issues resulting in some part from being…maybe some sort of system? It's complicated. When Iris was separated from them, there was no holding back on their sort of mental health issues, which means identity issues, belief that they were inherently cruel when they weren't, and, to be honest, full blown BPD and OCD traits were on full display and I just felt so connected to them like I didn't with any other character, mental health wise. And lastly, they're just a really well written character; they have such inner conflict with trying to live up to the reputation Wily set for them of being the perfect Net Navi, and trying to follow their OWN morals, and oftentimes that comes into conflict. For example, although they thought it would make them a good person to coldly delete Megaman.EXE without qualms, they were in conflict because they still believed Megaman.EXE could be saved and that no person is evil or corruptible at heart. Their scrupulosity and moral absolutism often comes into conflict with their IMMENSE kindness and fear of harming people, which causes them to believe they're inherently cruel, even when evidence shows otherwise. They're probably one of my favorite characters of all time for this reason to be honest.

Once the edge of May has finally rolled around in the city of Nakano, somehow it seemed like the surprise guest lining up to celebrate with our birthday girl today wasn’t only just another idol from a certain division in Fukuoka…

Out of the blue during the time Ririko was still getting her hands full with all the stuff she has prepared to upload on her online multiplatforms, suddenly the phone that she was currently using appeared to have a little bit of noise and then there was a figure of someone mysteriously showing up on her phone’s screen!

—Wait, was that… herself?

“Hi there, 2-cute☆ Do you have a sweet time on your B-day?”

Winking and smiling mischievously at her was the pink-haired girl in kawaii 3D model with 80% exact same features that resembled herself, however, the voice that came out of her device was clearly not hers at all.

“Greetings, this is ‘ANGE’ the special ambassador from my human’s division! Well~ Looks like the gift from them is going to arrive at your house soon… But boo~ It’s not fair that only humans can do the giftgiving to one another, right? Tee-hee☆ That’s why this time ANGE decides to join in the fray too!”

And while listening the mysterious model on her phone speaking nonstop in such a highly enthusiastic manner, then the content creator has noticed something bizarre on her phone… which was now having an unknown file pop up out of thin air ���It seemed like it was a file of the virtual 3D model ready for her to use in any streaming gig that she often sees the Vtubers do on their broadcasting!

“According to what ANGE has been binging on the activities you humans do on social media lately, ANGE has found out that you have yet to have your own model for some gigs humans called ‘streaming’… Thus ANGE is determined to make you one! Hope you enjoy my gift and have a great use of them then!

—And oh, looks like the gift from my human is now arriving at your doorstep! Would you like to give it some check? Well then, see ya again next time, human~~ ANGE kinda wonder if we could become friend though”

And as soon as the mysterious persona who commuted via the virtual model was bidding her a farewell, the doorbell outside of Ririko’s apartment was starting to ring just like she said! Looks like there was some delivery arriving at her home.

Briefly checking inside her mailbox, she found a box with an adorable set of dessert earrings. In addition, there was also a card containing inside:

“Happy Birthday & Having a nice day!

—Yuuya Kanata & Asahi Tomoharu, Nara Division”

The pink haired girl shrieked as soon as the model appeared on her screen.

“Wah! H-How’d you get into my phone!? ANGE, huh? Well, it’s nice to meet you, but don’t you think there’s better ways of introducing yourself than hacking into someone’s phone!?”

After noticing the file that suddenly appeared, it was like a lightbulb switched on in her head.

“Ohh, so is this supposed to be your division’s birthday present? How nice! I’ve seen some pretty popular Vtubers on the ‘net, but I never thought of doing it myself. Welp, there’s a first time for everything! Thanks, ANGE, but, whose division do you belong to anyway??”

Before she got an answer, the model disappeared, followed by a sudden ring of the doorbell. When she opened the door, there was a small package at her feet. After going inside and opening it, she pulled out the set of dessert earrings, along with the note.

“Aw, these are soo cute! And they’d definitely go well with some of the pieces in my closet! A gift from Miraitabi, hm? They gifted Alice something on her birthday as well, what did she say it was? Fortune cookies and an outfit? Well, still, this is a nice gift! Even if their “representative”scared the living daylights out of me..”

Thank you for the gift!

Worldbuilding blurb: Street Idols & Dream Idols

Bright, beaming, and high energy; street idols are one of the newest pop culture crazes. In essence street idols are a wide range of entertainers who stream from somewhere out in the streets of the city. Originally most street idols started their fame through their talents in singing or dancing. After the first few street idols made it big the craze started an influx of new street idols all looking to make their mark on the world. These newer street idols expanded to all sorts of small niches of entertainment, which eventually became increasingly more extreme to bring in more views. Some of the more extreme streams range from highly risky parkour through corporate properties to literal blood sport and merc work. Anything to bump up the view count.

Street idols are sometimes some of the most augged people. Those that can afford it invest heavily in any sort of augs that they think will enhance their image or performance. Many become strikingly beautiful with sculpted faces and cyberware eyes that can help put emphasis their often exaggerated expressions. Beyond that, the augs that street idols get are extremely diverse, playing into whatever entertainment they provide and the audiences that they bring in. One aug that is essential for any street idol is an accessory to their cybercomputer that allows them to stream their feed as well as receive real time feedback on view counts, revenue, and viewer comments.

Nearly universally street idols are quickly identifiable by the cam-drones that constantly hover around them and flashy eye-catching fashion. The cam-drones are usually controlled straight from their cybercomputers through a slotted linking device. Many of the smaller street idols are able to work alone, only needing a contract with a particular channel or streaming platform to stream to. Wealthier and higher value street idols are either owned or sponsored by corporations and have large teams that they work with to produce their content. These ones have effectively become a part of the current celebrity culture.

Dream idols are kind of like the street idol's tamer cousins. They primarily only stream on the dream-net itself as avatars or even sometimes as disembodied voices. The content they stream is basically limitlessly diverse as they can control much of their content with a thought. Their presence and audiences are more limited to the virtual world which limits their views, but they don't require contracts to stream on the net. Dream idol streams are often far more personal because they can be digitally present anywhere and readily interact with anyone in the space of the dream-net.

[Little fun fact: street idols were inspired by vtubers (^.^) although I guess in effect they are a bit more like “influencers”. (‘^.^) Anyways and always I hope you are having a lovely day, peace (^u^)v]

LIGHT OF LIFE 519

John 1:4

DIVINE ORDER 84: God Seekers 13

Gen 4:26 And a son was also born to Seth, whom he named Enosh. AT THAT TIME PEOPLE BEGAN to worship the LORD. NET

Altar In Heaven 1

We have seen that there is [intrinsically] no need for a Physical “Sacrificial” Altar today because the perfect Sin Sacrifice (JESUS), has “once and forever” been offered on it.

Heb 7:26-27 JESUS IS THE HIGH PRIEST WE NEED. HE IS HOLY AND INNOCENT AND FAULTLESS, AND NOT AT ALL LIKE US SINNERS. Jesus is honored above all beings in heaven, and he is better than any other high priest. JESUS DOESN'T NEED TO OFFER SACRIFICES EACH DAY for his own sins and then for the sins of the people. HE OFFERED A SACRIFICE ONCE FOR ALL, WHEN HE GAVE HIMSELF. CEV

The Word of God plainly emphasized the cessation of Sin Sacrifices and focus on the [once for all] sacrifice of His Son, when we were charged not to continue in Sin anymore.

Heb 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, THERE REMAINS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS, MKJV

If no other sacrifices for Sin will be needed or even accepted by God, then there is no more need for an Altar to offer it on, right?

But are there Altars of Sacrifice in Heaven right now?

Rev 6:9 When the Lamb broke open the fifth seal, I SAW GATHERED UNDER THE ALTAR THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN SLAIN BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD AND BECAUSE THEY HAD THE TESTIMONY OF THE LAMB. TPT

That was the 1st mention of ALTAR in Heaven, but this was special, with an encasement [under] for housing Disciples, slain on earth.

Their Killing was akin to the Sacrifice of Jesus but with different targets.

Col 1:24 I am happy to suffer for you now. IN MY BODY I AM COMPLETING WHATEVER REMAINS OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS. I AM DOING THIS ON BEHALF OF HIS BODY, THE CHURCH. GW

Jesus Died for our Sins and to redeem us back to God. We suffer - and some will die - for spreading the Gospel. Such deaths are Sacrifices before God, delivered DIRECT to Heaven.

Psm 116:15 Precious (important and no light matter) in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (His loving ones) AMP

Take note that Jesus was received “ON” the Altar, while Martyrs are received “UNDER”.

But there are other Altars in Heaven though, and they are also akin to what we have here now.

Rev 8:3 Another angel holding a golden censer came and was stationed at THE ALTAR. A large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL THE SAINTS, ON THE GOLDEN ALTAR THAT IS BEFORE THE THRONE. NET

This Altar in Heaven corresponds with our Sermon and Prayer Altar on Earth and is for declaring Judgments and answers to our requests, Praise and Worship offerings from here.

Rev 8:5 Then THE ANGEL FILLED THE INCENSE HOLDER WITH FIRE FROM THE ALTAR and threw it down on the earth. Then there were flashes of lightning, thunder and other noises, and an earthquake. ERV

So, Altars in heaven complete correspondences between Humans on earth and God.

Now, we all know that things done on earth should be as it is done in Heaven, right?

Mat 6:10 may your Kingdom come; MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GNB

So why are we (Pentecostals) not using physical altars and offering incense and things on such; why is our Altar spiritual or virtual?

Again, it is all in a bid to curb abuse by “Flesh”.

Deu 4:15-16 "On the day the LORD spoke to you from the fire at Mount Horeb, you did not see him—THERE WAS NO SHAPE FOR GOD. So be careful! Don't sin and destroy yourselves by making false gods or statues in the shape of any living thing. DON'T MAKE AN IDOL THAT LOOKS LIKE A MAN OR A WOMAN, ERV

Men of Flesh are too easily swayed and get carried away by graphical representations. It’s safer to keep these “things” away from God’s services because many will improvise, upgrade and reinvent.

They’ll say: “we can’t remain Mediocre anymore”.

May God help us grasp the simplicity of His services and Worship, and may we be accepted by Him, IN JESUS NAME.

See you on Friday, as we proceed with this Subtopic.

SAFELINK TracFone synonymous...

Dear SafeLink Customer, (one of the many recipients includes me). The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is ending, and April 2024 will be the last fully funded month for your benefits if Congress does not provide additional funding. All ACP customers on all service providers will be affected but we have made it our highest priority to keep you connected. Even if Congress does not provide additional ACP funding after April, and the FCC only authorizes a partial funding in May, SafeLink will fully fund your ACP benefits through May 31st, 2024. This will give Congress more time to fund this program without impacting you. Aforementioned bulletin elicited following: SAFELINK TracFone synonymous... not only as my lifeline, and connectivity insurance with family, friends and strangers, whereby yours truly experiences virtual safety net as would be true for many purple people eaters, when havoc unexpectedly strikes triggering an emergency situation, where life and death as very uncomfortable truth teeter in the balance necessitate immediate intervention, hence survival of one mediocre bipedal hominid within twenty first century, not only requires allocated government funding for unlimited talk and text, to brook intervention allowing, enabling, and providing help while I channel urgent plea via telephonic wireless portal or surfing the cyber sea if in need of an up to date telephone number until that one day in the near future, when logical integrated circuits, albeit miniscule or near invisible bots to the naked eye, of the foreign tiger said telecommunication trappings ideally, easily, and admirably embedded within body electric batteries not necessary when capacity to energize lovely bones emulates, jump/kickstarts, and powers an uninterrupted self sustaining feedback loop courtesy subcutaneous nearly microscopic solar cells (similar in principle to intrauterine devices) generates ample electricity with resistance from subjects to communicate wirelessly, which means every waking and sleeping movement grudgingly monitored, thus surreptitious antics possibly flagged for: accusation of plagiarization, barbarization of mine mien, cannibalization of pet peeves, demonization of politicization, elation of short lived beneficence, fictionalization of embedded chip insertion, glorification qua state of art communication, humanization of artificial intelligence, idolization of electronic engineering, jollification of electrons. adieu from:

Women’s History Month: 5 Female Entrepreneurs You Should Know About

The world of business is often associated with masculinity. Most respected and well-known entrepreneurs are men like Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, a person will need help finding a female entrepreneur.

This patriarchal world has made it a difficult challenge for women to rise up. But even with these obstacles in place, women have broken glass ceilings and barriers and have made a place for themselves in the cut-throat world of businesses.

So, these are five female entrepreneurs you should make yourself familiar with.

1.Falguni Nayar

At the age of 49, Falguni Nayar had a vision that would change her life forever. It was in 2012 when Falguni Nayar founded Nykaa, an Indian E-Commerce company, that sells beauty, wellness and fashion products.

The website offers a collection of more than 2,000+ brands and 200,000+ products. The company is estimated to be worth USD $480 Million, and her personal net worth is estimated at USD $5.6 Billion.

Just like her idol Bill Gates, Falguni Nayar has also used her success to uplift others. She heads an NGO called Project Nanhi Kali, which provides education to underprivileged girls.

2. Sheikha Hanadi Al-Thani

Many would be content with establishing only one company, But Sheikha Hanadi was not a part of this group. She serves as a founding member of three different companies. Such as Amwal (Asset Management Firm), Al Waab City Real Estate, and Q-Auto (Qatari Importing Firm for Volkswagen and Audi). She is also the CEO of Nasser Bin Khaled AL Thani & Sons Group (A distributing company for international brands in Qatar).

With so many accolades to her name, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Sheikha Handai’s net worth is an enormous USD $15 Billion. She sits as one of the richest Muslim women in the world and continues to inspire girls around the world to break boundaries.

3. Odunayo Eweniyi

After graduating at the top of her Computer Engineering class in 2013, Odunayo set out to establish PiggyVest at the mere age of 24. It is the first online app for personal savings and investments in West Africa. Not satisfied with this, Odunayo went on to co-found another company called FirstCheck Africa in 2021. It is an angel fund and investor community led by women for women.

Looking at her accomplishments, Forbes Africa named her as one of the Top 20 young wealth creators in Africa. Her company, Piggyvest has helped over 230,000 African millennials to invest and save $15 million dollars.

4. Noor Al-Khadra

When your parents yell at you for wasting your time with video games, tell them the tale of Noor Al-Khadra. A passionate gamer, Noor went on to pursue BFA in 3D modelling and game design at the Academy of Art University. Being armed with this degree, Noor went on to become the founder of a UK-Based WeGeek and the co-founder of Robonetica.

WeGeek has hosted over 20 social events related to gaming and also analyzes data which ensures marketing and customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, Robonetica is an AI robotics platform that can be accessed by anyone through Supergames and hyper-real virtual reality (VI) events.

In her free time, she runs her own Youtube Channel, where she reviews games, as well as goes through walkthroughs of various popular titles.

5. Mitika Gupta

Born to Indian parents in Zambia, Mitika realized how difficult it is to access medical care outside of the country when her father fell critically ill. It was at this point, Mitika realized that there should be a platform which makes it easier for patients seeking treatment abroad.

So, she founded Lyfboat, a website that allows its user to discover, compare and connect with hospitals and doctors all over the world. The company has hospitals in India, the Middle East and other Asia-Pacific Countries. What’s better is that this platform is entirely free! They also help with medical visas, price comparison, enquiry etc.

These are some of the women who have used their skills to establish their business empires. During this Women’s History Month, Please Do your best to support women who are looking to start their own businesses. Thank you for reading.

Yi-Chun laughed and nodded. "Hey hey, you don't have to tell me twice. I was better than all the boys in my neighborhood too." It helped that she was tall, but mostly it was all technique. Power and speed meant a lot, but there was no stopping someone who could sink baskets from anywhere on the court, at any time. "Just let me know if you ever want to do some pickup stuff. Basketball, baseball, track, even martial arts."

Suddenly she blinked, as if she was realizing something. "Hey, that's an idea! It might be fun to do some kind of sports day around here." That was popular with some virtual idols, she thought, a video game version of a childhood sports day. "It could be half-and-half, where some of it is all game-based and like, decision-making and reflexes, and the rest of it is real sports and athleticism focused." Wasn't that a neat idea? It wasn't necessarily typical idol fare, but Lemniscate wasn't a typical idol company.

Plus that kind of crossover content was good for everyone, if people who were more into the net idols started getting into the more traditional song-and-dance idols, or vice versa. But, maybe she was getting ahead of herself, and Yi-Chun couldn't help but feel the tiniest pang of regret that even if that kind of thing could happen, it wasn't like she's be able to participate.

Well, it wasn't like she was really pitching it to Mizuki, anyway, whether the girl had the authority to make that kind of thing happen or not. Yi-Chun was the kind of person to have all kinds of ideas, endlessly chasing after the things in the world that brought a smile to her face, and the faces of others. If one of them didn't work out, she'd just find something else, instead.

As Mizuki finished her point, Yi-Chun nodded in understanding. It sounded like there were some complicated parts that related to Mizuki's family that Yi-Chun didn't totally get, but she could relate to the idea of having mixed feelings about something. "I think that sounds like a good goal," she nodded. Having never met Mizuki's dad, it felt weird to say anything about him, but she was grateful to the idea he'd helped build. "I'm really appreciative that a place like this exists, and I'm sure everyone else is too." Leaning to the side, she gave a smile and a wave to one of the talent coming in, and then towards Ritsuko, too.

Yi-Chun wasn’t much older than Iris, but Mizuki felt she was more like one of the adults. Not to get the wrong idea, Mizuki adores Iris! But there’s something different about what she hears from the other girl. Like she knows a lot, and has a lot more of their life under control. At least, in spite of the whole Visa thing (which she genuinely didn’t understand). They got a big plan. It’s a lot to take in. But it’s stuff that she wants to take in. Because it creates some measure of relief. A reminder that despite all the choices being laid out in front of her she didn’t have to pick one yet.

…easy thing to think and ponder in her head, but she knew another meeting in the next month or whatever it ended up being would create another fork in the road with a wealth of water at her back trying to usher her forward. Taking things day by day was a great way to approach life, but what happened in those days? Different story. Mizuki was happy to just sit back on the couch and claim the next hour to herself.

“Yeah, I don’t think being an athlete would work out well for me. And not for the reasons you’re probably thinking. Let’s just say… it wouldn’t be very fair.” Date had already gone through enough convincing Mizuki of when and where to use her unnatural strength. It wasn’t hard to extrapolate from there and think about how she would break many sports if she were to do them even semi-professionally. Holding herself back during school was one thing. But past that? Yeah… Not a great idea. As cool as it would be.

“I would totally trash any of the guys. Heh!” A remark slips nevertheless, smug confidence dripping off that youthful face like venom. “…anyway. Thanks for sharing. You didn’t have to give all that detail, but you did anyway. I appreciate it.” Mizuki says, shifting her expression to something kinder with a smile. “Y’know…” Mizuki’s voice trails off a little bit. The topic a tender one to touch on, but it was something she wanted to get off her chest.

“Daddy spent a lot of time getting this place off the ground. Like. A lot a lot. And things weren’t always good because of that. Uh. Doesn’t matter. The point is… well. Because he spent that time, cool people like you and a lot of others get a chance to do what they love. So. In a way I guess it paid off. I wanna keep that going. If I can. At the very least, you know? Doesn’t matter what I end up doing.”

it’s always interesting the way fandom sizes impacts creator visibility (like with supply and demand) but i’m especially thinking abt it rn bc i almost only ever write krbk which is such a big ship inside a huge fandom so i expected Nothing posting kagepro fic but half the people who read it left comments which is a crazy ratio. like i knew kagepro fandom is going thru a Renaissance rn and it’s a very cozy caring dynamic but i was always thinking “kagepro fandom small i will get 50 views tops” but in the end cozy and caring wins out over small in terms of engagement which is interesting
