When Chay and Kim get back together in the 24/7 AU, Chay expects things to go back to how they were before, and is surprised when they don't. The whole point is that Kim wanted a lover, but didn't want to let anyone close. So he maintained this distance between them, using the D/S dynamic to do it. But now he doesn't need to, anymore. Chay can be on equal footing with him in this relationship. And sure, a little bit of that shone through towards the end, because Kim couldn't help himself, he was falling in love, and that distance became harder and harder to maintain (which made it easier to convince himself to cut Chay off entirely after the RevealTM).
Chay is not at all prepared for a completely, unrestrictedly in love Kim
#cookie writes#kimchay#I'm v excited#I also thought about how their reconciliation would look#thought about Chay making Kim submit this time as punishment#but Kim isn't vers and I don't want them to leverage sex that way In this fic#the whole point is that the ONLY healthy thing about them is their sex life and the trust they've built#so that wouldn't make sense#Kim could still let him top tho lol#wait i think I just mixed up switch and vers#no reason to keep them straight bc im bi so im both xD#whatever kim bottoms but doesn't sub#although I think he would offer to at some point#which would be fine#just as long as Chay isn't the demanding it in exchange for forgiveness#it's Kim's decision to trust Chay while he gives up control#unrelated to their reconcilliation#this fic is just a long ass character study hidden behind 10 layers of sex and whips

Happy Birthdayă»Idia
Card: Birthday Attire - SSR Characters: Idia & Yuu. Mentioned: Ortho, Muscle Crimson
Chapter 1
âIGNIHYDE DORM - BIRTHDAY PARTY VENUEâ
NRC Campus News Interview with the Birthday Student ~Idia ver.~
Yuu: Happy birthday!
Idia: Huh...? U-Uh, um... Th-Thank... you.
Thatâs a lovely outfit.
Idia: You think so? This âYo! Iâm a big merry chief!â-looking outfit? Your aesthetic is something I canât even begin to understand.
Itâs fancy, itâs too tight, and it s-stands out.
But worst of all, Iâm having people whose names I donât even know just casually talking to me... Have you ever experienced something so horrifying?
Iâm at my limit... Hah... I wanna get this thing off as soon as possible...
Alright, letâs get started with the interviewââ
Idia: Eee! Y-Y-You said âinterviewâ? With me?
No, no, no, youâre joking...
Thatâs just way too impossible for a modest guy like me... I have to decline.
...I-I canât? Y-Youâre really stubborn. H-Hold on a second...
      (He switches to speaking from his tablet)
Idia: Okay, Iâm good now. L-Letâs get this over with.
How does it feel with everyone sending you birthday wishes?
Idia: ...I-Itâs nothing but literal torture to have flocks of normies come up and talk to me...
The idea that every single person wants a huge birthday celebration with lots of people is a complete lie!
Arenât you happy itâs your birthday?
Idia: It just means my lifespan decreased by a year. Whatâs there to be happy abâoh, wait, just kidding! Scratch that.
Iâve got loads of amazing birthday events in my games!
Between collecting limited voice lines and reading all my birthday stories... Iâve been extremely busy since this morning~.
S-So, can I go back to my room now...? No? Okay.
Chapter 2
âIGNIHYDE DORM - BIRTHDAY PARTY VENUEâ
Please let me continue with our interview.
Idia: N-No, the things I have to say feel kinda pointless. Havenât you heard enough already...?
Iâd rather not talk to you through a tablet...
Idia: ...Does that mean we can end this faster if we talk face-to-face? Okay then.
      (He discards his tablet)
Thank you. First off, whatâs your favorite food?
Idia: ...Candy. Theyâre good and theyâre easy to eat while playing games... Itâs perfect.
I-I love educational candy kits the most. The ones where you can add water and mix it, sprinkle powders in it, make it solidify...
The candy itself is like a game, so I get so focused on playing it... Hehe.
I can make the colors and shapes whatever I want, so itâs really fun. And if you think itâs a game for kids, then youâre wrong.
What about your least favorite food?
Idia: ...Raw fish. I-Itâs smelly, lukewarm, and the texture feels slimy, slippery, and sticky...
Plus itâs annoying when you canât eat something without utensils. Getting those out takes so much time. I hate it...
Itâs just important to get nutrition into your body, and well-balanced block candy does that fine! Yup, you canât disagree with me!
Is there a reason youâre always wearing headphones?
Idia: ...O-Oh? So you can ask actually good questions. Obviously, itâs to listen to phenomenal music with the best sound quality.
Itâs courtesy to the creators who brought these masterpieces to life to listen to them in HQ.
Oh. The noise canceling function is also very important. ...It lets me shut out the outside world.
What kind of music do you listen to?
Idia: ...I-I stan some idol groups... I love their songs.
The appeal of idols isnât just their looks~ I wouldnât stan a group if their songs sucked~
So you like idols? Do you have a favorite group?
Idia: Moirai! Moirai on the Edge! You donât know them? This is why youâre a normie...
Theyâre a popular trio of veteran dancers and seasoned vocalists!
Listening to their godly songs makes me start chanting and clapping like Iâm at one of their live concerts...
Hehehe!
I-I could show you some of their music if youâre interested... No, I wonât force you if you donât want to...
Chapter 3
âIGNIHYDE DORM - BIRTHDAY PARTY VENUEâ
Please let me continue with our interview just a little longer.
Idia: ...Are you serious? Iâve already been enduring this for so long keeping my tablet away...
H-Hey, can we just end this? Iâve talked enough. What do I even get out of this?
Iâm the birthday boy or whatever (lol), but my opinion doesnât get to be respected...?
I-Itâll be over soon, I promise... Um, tell us about a birthday memory you have.
Idia: Uhh... My parents gave me a lot of games as presents.
Console games, board games, all kinds of things for me to play in my room.
I was always ecstatic when I got them, and Ortho would play them with me.
I always won more than him when we were little. I mean, I am a genius, so what do you expect? Hehe.
But Ortho would get upset about it every time, so I slowly started changing the games we played.
To board games that use things like roulette wheels and dice.
Th-That way, Ortho could still have fun with them without needing to have any technique...
That was nice of you.
Idia: W-Well, it was my birthday... and Iâm his big brother...
But itâs not like I can beat Ortho at computer games now!
I have one last question to ask.
Idia: Huh? I-Is it really the last one? I canât do this anymore...
I promise it is. Has anything happened for your birthday today?
Idia: Um... Th-The second the day changed, I got dozens of birthday messages flying in from my online friends...
Oh, yeah. Muscle Crimson-shi gave me a rare weapon as a present~
Man, I was so touched!
...Hah. I wish everyone would just send me birthday wishes online instead of coming to me face-to-face...
The idea that talking in-person is more significant than online chats and texts is such an outdated point of view...
Extroverts should be aware that making eye contact and laughing puts so much pressure on someone...
      (He switches back to his tablet)
Idia: Speaking of, Iâm much more attentive and genuine when I talk through my tablet lolol.
Thank you. Once again, happy birthday!

6 Months
Shawn x latina!reader
Word Count: 1576
(A/N: Let me know if yâall would like a part 2! Feedback is greatly appreciated!)
Summary:Â Y/n and Shawn had been dating for 6 months, everything was going great, at least for her it was. Donât get Shawn wrong, it was going great for him too but it just wasnât enough.
...
Today was a nice sunny day, both Y/n and Shawn were getting ready for a bbq Brian had thrown. Y/n was wearing a yellow floral dress with some strappy sandals and Shawn..well Shawn was wearing his usual black skinny jeans with a white fitted t-shirt.
âHey honey did you buy the champagne?â Shawn asked looking through the cabinet. ïżœïżœUhh no why?â
He scoffed, âBabe I asked you to pick up champagne on your way home and you said yes.â
She closed her eyes and counted to 10 backwards. Did I mention she has anger issues. She had a tendency of pushing people away with her anger. She pushed her sisters and father away with it. âSorry, I got busy and mustâve forgotten. We can just pick some up on the way there.â
âNot like we have a choice.â Shawn muttered, grabbing his keys and starting the car. Y/n grabbed her purse as her phone began ringing. She closed the door to her room quickly answering the call.
âHi mamĂĄ.â
Hola hija, como estas?
(Hi sweety, how are you?)
âBien, ya voy de salida.Voy a celebrar el cumpleaños de unas de mis amigas.â
(Good,Iâm going out. Iâm going to celebrate a friends birthday.)
Que bien mi niña, no quiero quitarte mucho de tu tiempo, te hablaba para decirte que tu padre se puso mal.
(Good sweety, I donât want to take much of your time, I was calling because your dad got sick.)
âQue le paso?â
(What happened?)
Tiene un tumor en el cerebro, no sabemos cuanto tiempo tenga.
(He has a brain tumor, we donât know how long he has.)
âOh my god mom.â My vision became blurry with the tears that were threatening to spill. I didnât want to believe it. âNo te han dicho nada?â
(They havenât said anything?â)
No hijita no se puede hacer nada. Nadamas podemos esperar.
(No sweetheart thereâs nothing they can do, we can only wait.)
âIre mañana para San Francisco.â
(I will go tomorrow to San Francisco.)
Y/n-
âYa se mamĂĄ pero es mi padre, lo quiero ver.â
(I know mom but he is my dad and I need to see him.)
Bueno mija es tu decision.
(Fine sweetheart it is your decision.)
âY/n, we have to go.â Shawn came rushing into the room.
âTe llamare mañana, te quiero.â I didnât let her reply, hanging up the phone and wiping away the
Tears.
(I will call you tomorrow, I love you.)
âYou okay?â He asked stepping closer to me. I nodded, âUhh, yeah, just a colleague.â
âWhat happened? Why are you crying?â He wiped away one of my tears, this was the first time he had ever seen me cry, I felt weak and vulnerable. I hated that feeling. âFuck Shawn can you just drop it? I just said it was a colleague so just drop it.â
He scoffed, âOh Iâm sorry I just wanted to know if everything was alright with my girlfriend. Iâm so sorry for worrying about her crying.â
I rolled my eyes, âSee not crying, can we just go?â
...
The ride to Brianâs house was quiet, no small banter about which song they should play and no hand holding just complete silence. Once they had arrived it was like a switch had flipped in her. They got out of the car and she had a smile plastered on her face, she even grabbed Shawnâs hand and intertwined their fingers. They walked hand in hand into the party and greeted everyone. All Shawn could do was stare at her. Not so long ago she had tears in her eyes mixed with anger but now she was happy.
âGlad you guys made it. Shawn I see you forgot the champagne.â Brian chuckled as if he knew we were going to forget it.
âSorry it was my fault, Shawn asked me to pick it up from work but I completely forgot.â
âNo worries, I had a feeling you love birds would forget. Santiago bought a couple.â He pointed to the guy that was facing the grill. âI met this guy on the plane ride back from the Philippines, dude is absolutely hilarious. Hey Santiago!â He yelled for the guy, the guy turned and I could almost cry.
âSanti?â
âY/n?â
I ran into his arms, âOh my god, Iâve missed you so much.â
âHow long has it been?â
I wiped away a couple tears, âOnly four years.â
âBaby donât cry,â He wiped away at my tears, âIâve-â
âBaby?â I heard a voice say from behind me. I pulled away from Santi.
âUhh Santi, this is Shawn my boyfriend. Shawn this is Santi my long lost best friend.â
âHey man, nice meeting you.â Shawn shook his hand. âYou too. Y/n Iâll catch up with you in a bit.â Sant said walking back to the grill.
âSo? Santiago?â Shawn asked.
âHeâs my childhood best friend, we, uh, we lost contact four years ago.-â
âY/n lets play bear pong!â Ally pulled me to the girls table.
...
âWhatâs up with you?â Brian asked taking a seat next to Shawn. âYouâre being distant.â
He chuckled, âNah man, I just- weâve been dating for half a year and I still feel like I know nothing about her.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean that I heard her talking over the phone to her mom, she was crying but when I walked in she said it was her colleague. And when I pressed her about it she just snapped, we got into a small argument and well now sheâs jolly.â
Brian took a sip of his drink, âYou just have to have patience with her man.â
âI have! Weâve known each other for a year, weâve been dating for six months and all Iâve gotten is that she has two sisters and her mom and dad live in San Francisco. She doesnât even visit them, I donât even think she likes her family.â
âSo you havenât met her parents?â Brian asked and Shawn shook his head, âNo, everytime we make âplansâ either they cancel last minute or she does, Iâm just tired of this.â
âDo you think sheâs cheating?â
âI wouldnât even be surprised, sheâs just so secretive about everything. She basically has no emotion when we are together, sometimes I feel like Iâm dating a robot-â
Before they could finish there was a clinking of bottles and then a crash, they all turned to see what had happened, Y/n sat by the mess giggling at what had happened. Santiago ran to her pick her up and sitting her on one of the benches.
âGo to her, Iâll pick up.â
Shawn went to her as she continued to giggle at Santiago.
Santiago was cleaning up the blood from her knee with a napkin and some water, âGod Y/n what happened to you, babe.â He turned to Shawn, âShe doesnât drink, she never liked it at least she didnât.â
Shawn was confused but stayed silent, âI want to sleep.â Y/n slurred. âSanti take me home please.â
âDonât know where you live babe.â Shawn was annoyed he didnât like him referring to his girl as babe,âY/n her names Y/n.â
Santiago turned to him, âSeriously man, your girl is out of her mind intoxicated and instead of helping youâre worried about me calling her babe? God you hets are really insecure.â
Y/n groaned, âOh god.â She quickly turned to the trash can throwing up majority of the alcohol from her system, Santiago had grabbed one of her scrunchies and pulled her hair up in a bun. âPlease go away, both of you.â Both of them ignored her and stayed put.
Brian threw a water bottle to Shawn to give to Y/n. He took her to the upstairs bathroom to get cleaned up. âIâm sorry.â She told Shawn as he helped her get cleaned up. âI really have never been much of a drinker.â
He smiled bitterly at her, âThank you for telling me, even if it was a year and six months late.â
âShawn-â
âAre you cheating on me?â He got right to the point.
She scoffed, âWhat the hell makes you think that? I have never given you a reason have I?â
âYouâve given me plenty of reasons. You wonât talk to me, I know nothing about you. And after a year and a half of knowing each other I find out you had a long lost friend and oh yeah that you donât drink.â
âOh god, Iâm not doing this.â I turned ready to leave.
âThen when?â He yelled. âWhen will I ever get to know you?â
Thankfully someone had knocked on the bathroom door.
âWe are not done with this conversation.â He told me walking out of the bathroom. I walked over to Santi who was sitting by himself in the kitchen. He opened his arms and as if on instinct I threw myself to him.
âI canât-â I sobbed. âI canât take it anymore.â
âWhatâs wrong baby?â He rubbed my back.
âPapiâs dying and Shawn thinks Iâm cheating on him. I feel like Iâm incapable of showing him how much I love him. Iâve never felt like this.. not since Christina. I donât know how to let him in and Iâm just so scared.â

The time has come: Nendoroid Mink!!!!
cries literal, legitimate tears because MY DMMD BEST BOY IS HERE IN NENDOROID FORM????? i never thought this day would come and itâs HERE and im ECSTATIC
lots of pictures and incoherent screaming beneath the cut
I canât believe heâs real and iâm holding him???????
Iâve been wishing for a Mink nendoroid ever since I got into dmmd and fell considerably hard for Mink (who I did not expect to ever fall for???). Minao helped pull me through a particularly rough post-college patch and they remain very close to my heart, and yet, my hopes for a Mink nendo were extremely low. After all, heâs easily the least popular love interest, for pretty obvious reasons. (If you came to inform me that I should not like Mink because heâs Problematic, please leave, youâre not going to change my mind). As the months and WonFeses passed with not a peep, I pretty much lost all hope of ever seeing Mink in nendoroid form. DMMd seemed to be winding down as a franchise, and  I resigned myself to a Minkless existence. At least my other DMMd best boy got a nendoroid, so my Aoba didnât have to be alone. And I did find a tiny Mink figure during my last trip to Japan, so I supposed that would suffice.
When GSC announced that Mink was finally getting a nendo I literally cried real tears
-20 minutes go by as Magu gets too emotional to even type coherent words-
Anyway, enough blubbering, time to get to the review, which is what you all came here for
As you can see in the above photo, he comes with a cardboard background depicting his room from the game. Aoba and Clear both came with similar backgrounds, as well as Koujaku and Noiz (who I donât own). While I personally would have liked his room from DMMd Re:Connect, this room fits this version of the character much better. (I prefer Re:Connect Mink overall, but Iâm not about to be a choosy beggar!!)
Here he is from the side. Tiny details like his bracelet, the rips on his coat, and the chains just barely poking out from his sleeve have all been captured faithfully.
From the back. The seam on his coat and the buttons are both there. His ponytail is also sculpted nicely.
From this side, you can see his bare arm. The chibi form doesnât have much leeway for muscles, but you can see that there is a very slight shape to them. You can also see that a few of his dreds are tucked behind his ear. I didnât get it in this shot, but just below his ear you can see the faintest hint of his braids.
For such a tiny figure, heâs very detailed--itâs just like Orange Rouge to get all the details down. However, like Aoba, his collar isnât actually attached--it falls right off anytime you remove his head. I know this is done to preserve freedom of movement, but it seems a clunky choice when OR has made such good use of flexible plastic on other nendos. Luckily, unlike Aoba, itâs possible to switch his expression without removing his head--minimizing the amount you have to deal with his collar.
His little boots are so detailed!! Itâs hard to tell in this photo, but his jeans are also torn just like on his official art. You can also see that his coat pinches in just slightly at the waist. The details are amazing!
Like Aoba, Mink came with his All-mate, Tori. Mink came with a stand for Tori too, but heâs actually balanced enough to stand by himself.
Toriâs head is articulated, so you can pose him just slightly.
Hereâs what all Mink came with. Many hands holding tiny things! He came with only one extra expression for himself, and the other is for Aoba. Iâm a little sad they chose to go that route, as I really would have liked to see a smiling expression (like this one) in the mix, and Minkâs skin color makes it hard for him to face swap. I wonder if they were worried he wouldnât sell without some kind of incentive, orz....
from this angle both of those faces look vaguely sexual lmao...
Here he is next to the tiny Mink I got in Nakano. Tiny Mink is cute and all, but.... man, Iâm just so happy we got a nendo!!!
A closer view of his hair. The gradient in his dreds is really nice, but I kind of wish they were more matte.... (though the light in my room is pretty strong)
Alright, time to try out some alternate parts!
First, the pipe! Probably my favorite accessory. It looks really cute in his hand!
Though, trying to pose him also brought up a slight issue: his hair isnât made of flexible plastic either. His dreds really limit his range of movement ><
I kind of wish he was flexible enough to display it off to the side a little, but oh well...
In this shot, you can see that his nose is sculpted more prominently than that of other nendos.
When I was setting up for the next shot, the little knife fell right out of Minkâs hand--it turns out itâs not actually attached! I bet I can make other characters hold it too...
The knife and folded arm are for recreating the scene where he finally gets his revenge on Toue! (I couldnât find a good resolution of the alternate ver where his eyes are closed, whoops). The blood on the knife is almost sickeningly lifelike!!Â
The interesting thing about this expression is that it can be used to convey a variety of different emotions. From this angle, it almost looks like heâs praying for forgiveness....
.... but from this angle, he just looks angry! Or, rather, exasperated. Maybe heâs tired of Aobaâs antics...
Side note, I love how his lil fingers are sculpted ;u;
Now, on to the Aoba expression!
What a look! Itâs of course based on a pivotal scene in Minkâs route (though uh, fair warning, image in that link might be a bit disturbing)
Behind the scenes of the previous shot lmao... The nendosâ proportions make more complex shots a little harder (see also: me trying to make them kiss)
It required a bit of fenagling to get this shot to line up. Since their bases are too wide, I had to go without...
However, the âstranglingâ hand has other uses too! Here it looks like heâs extending a hand to help Aoba with something!
Here he is reciting shakespeare (lol)
Itâs fun to have all three of them together, too! Though since Clearâs so bright, it can be hard to get the exposure down--either Clearâs washed out, or Mink is obscured in shadow lmao...
Clear: Aoba-san, be careful! That kind of scary person is here...
Aoba: Oh!! Mink!! Iâve been waiting for you!!
Mink: Oh, itâs you. And, uh... your friend?
Aoba: Youâve met Clear before, Mink.Â
Tori: Thatâs the one you used to call âGasmaskâ.
Mink: .... oh. right. I think I remember someone like that. (doesnât really care)
Aoba: You havenât seen Clear without his mask on before, have you? No wonder you didnât recognize him.
Clear: Hm, well, if Aoba-san doesnât think youâre a threat, then... Mink-san, I hope we can get along from here.
Aoba: Ahhh, itâs so good to finally see you! Iâll have to catch you up on everything, and thereâs tons of stuff I have to show you--!
Mink: Um--itâs fine, but t-thank you.... (isnât used to being welcomed)
Tori: Sigh... You can relax once in a while, Mink....
Mink: Can I... ask you about something?
Aoba: Sure.
Mink: Why the warm welcome? You canât have forgotten what I did to you.
Aoba: Well, no...
Mink: Then... why? After all I did to make sure youâd hate me; that there would be no one to mourn me after--
Aoba: Hey, hey, Mink, hold it.
Aoba: Thereâs no use wallowing in a past that canât change. Itâs been three years, and I know youâre not that horrible person anymore. So... letâs get a fresh start, alright? Now that youâre here, Iâm looking forward to getting to know the person you really are. The ârealâ Mink.Â
Mink: I donât.... what
Aoba: After what happened, I felt like I didnât understand you at all. It was really, really bothering me, because Iâm the kind of idiot who needs to know why people act the way they do. I want to get closer to you, and understand you better. So... I guess thatâs why I want to help you feel at home here.
Mink: .... you deserve better than me.... Â Aoba...
Aoba: Maybe. But youâre the one I want, so, tough.
Mink: ..... ///////
Hereâs how I decided to pose him! Ahh, he looks so majestic....
The happy family is finally all together!!! I could cry ;-;
One day Iâd like to take Mink and Aoba back home to Colorado for a proper photoshoot...
Anyway, if youâve made it this far, thanks for reading!Â
My next review will actually come within the week, because another figure arrived alongside Mink!!
