[itsthatmff]

IM FINALLY BACK WITH MORE HEADCANONS! writing for these was so hard- it was my first time doing amai mask too- I hope they turned out well 😩

Please keep the requests incoming I’ll try to work through them! I’m sorry for taking so long and Thank you so much for the patience.

Boyfriend Headcanons on OPM men Pt. 2

Fem!reader

Included: Flashy flash, Amai mask, Saitama, Zombie man

Flashy Flash

Having him as a boyfriend sure isn’t for the weak

He’s definetly the leader of the sassy man apocalypse

He takes his night routine SERIOUSLY like you will have a 20 step hair routine and a spa session

He gives great hair care tips though

Lets you braid his hair when you’re bored or does your hair when you’re tired

Gossiping with him is super fun

When he’s annoyed or jealous he scoffs a lot

Tiny bit reluctant over physical affection but his hugs and kisses feel so gentle, you could melt into them.

He goes all out when you’re on your period, like he knows exactly what you need and what to do.

Gifts you hairclips on random occasions !

Doesn’t like you touching his katana cuz he’s worried you’ll hurt yourself.

You get the best dates with him because he knows the best spots, prefers staying at home with you though in case one of his opps are after him.

He does bicker with you from time to time because he knows you too well and can’t be bothered to deal with your overdramatic ass

"Yeah fine we get it you’re just angry because you’re craving some desserts. Stop whining and lets go get it.“

Amai Mask

Might seem like a narcissistic and selfish bastard at first but he really just has issues

As a boyfriend he might not be able to spend much time with you since he is a hero AND a celebrity with a filled schedule

Makes sure to spoil you rotten tho

You get expensive gifts from him on a weekly basis and he takes you out to the best restaurants

He has to be very discreet with your relationship since it could cause him a bad reputation and backlash from the media

Whenever he’s overwhelmed or had a bad day he seeks comfort in your embraces

Feels like you’re the only one who understands him

Genuinely opens up to you and shows you his vulnerable side from time to time

He gets VERY jealous like he better not catch you admiring some other hero

At first he’d laugh it off not wanting to believe such a thing but slowly the jealousy would start creeping up

“You’re mine understood?”

Is just scared of u leaving him

He calls to tell you there’s a new magazine out that features him and wants you to buy it.

Thinks you’re his biggest supporter and likes to brag about you.

Saitama

Dates consist of gaming or getting deals at different supermarkets

I can totally imagine that he’s willing to try some new things at the convenience store with you and do taste tests.

Never rates the food a 10/10 cuz he thinks Genos could do it better.

YES sometimes Genos DOES make dinner dates for you two, he goes all out making a 5 star dinner for his sensei and his girlfriend.

Saitama secretly loves it when you come and sit on his lap as he watches tv.

He may not look like it but he really notices the small details, like he’ll ask if you put on different perfume or shampoo. Does it so sleek too.

He’d lean in to your neck and WHISPER INTO YOUR EAR

"Hm..you smell so good, got a new perfume?“

This guy just knows how to get you flustered

Is very nonchalant about most things, doesn’t really get jealous. (Unless you’re being overly nice to someone that has like really good hair)

“Yo genos. How much do you think a hair transplant costs?”

“Why are you asking sensei?”

“No reason really..” as he GLARES at the guy you’re talking to.

Doesn’t call you often, more like he randomly texts you what he’s doing and if your schedule matches his you both hangout.

Wants to climb up the ranks in order to impress you and loves to tell you about his day when he gets home.

Gets the most expressive around you.

He kicks out Genos when you two need your private time.

Gives the best piggy back rides.

Zombieman

Hands down the best boyfriend out there

He’s so chill about everything

Likes to take you everywhere with him, especially on shooting ranges, coffee shops or jazz bars

Respects your boundaries a lot, if you don’t like the smoke from his cigarettes he’ll try not to smoke around you, if you’re a smoker yourself he always looks forward to smoke some with you.

You both have a very casual relationship, there’s no awkwardness at all nor the cheesiness and pampering

That also includes physical affection. Cuddling on the couch or holding hands seems natural to you.

As nihilistic as he is, he can’t hide whenever he’s jealous.

“Was it fun chatting to that human?” He’d ask whilst pressing down the last remaining of his cigarette onto the whiskey glass. He wasn’t upset, more like curious of what you saw in another man.

Only calls you in the evenings after he walks you home. Likes to hear your voice before he goes to sleep.

He loves to get you roses

Asks childish emperor for advice on what to get you. Doesn’t even realise himself that he slips in your name in every conversation.

Is the kind of boyfriend that is happy enough to just watch you from afar.

Never ever gets aggressive with you. In fact you’ve never seen him angry.

Likes to polish his guns while you sit on his lap.

Future Diary TCG

I find that one really interesting piece of merch from the Future Diary franchise are the trading cards released for the game Victory Spark, which is quite an old and not very well-known card game on this side of the globe. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to find as many images of the cards as I could, so I figure I’d make a post describing what I found (which could also double as a post about Victory Spark's history). Buckle up, becuase this is a long one.

Victory Spark (ヴィクトリースパー), also known as “Sparking Victory” in English, is a trading card game produced by Bushiboard Co., Ltd. Its official abbreviation in Japanese is “V Spa” (Vスパ) and VS in English. The original model of this game made by Bushiboard was titled: "Sunday VS Magazine Trading Card Game," (abbreviated SvsM) which was released as part of the 50th anniversary joint project between “Weekly Shonen Sunday” and “Weekly Shonen Magazine” (two shonen manga magazines). Hence, this model of the game featured only the characters published within the works of each magazine. In 2010, the game was turned into Victory Spark, which then stopped being produced in 2014. As you can imagine, the official website of VS is now down because of this, but it’s still accessible via the Wayback Machine:

Also, a fun fact about both of these games is that they each had their own radio show, in which weekly battles amongst Japanese personalities were broadcasted.

The game design is quite simple and similar to that of other popular trading card games (think Pokemon for example), in which there are two players battling with the abilities of each of their cards. To summarize the rules of the game, I'll use the pictures from a VS manual to illustrate. Each player's field on the playmat should look like this:

1. Deck: Each player must prepare a deck of 50 cards and place them face down on this spot.

2. Ring: A card drawn from the top of the deck is placed here to battle the opponent.

3. Bench: Three cards must be drawn from the deck and placed in this spot to support the attacks of the card on the ring. Certain cards from the same franchise have the quality of being "partners," which means that when one of them is on the ring and the other on the bench, the one on the bench can be turned horizontally to make a stronger "partner attack." This attack cannot be used on the first turn, though. After turning the first card horizontally, you can turn the second card as well to block an attack; however, this can't block a partner attack.

4. Field: The space that the ring and bench make up.

5. Surprise: This is a card that is placed face-down next to the ring, and can only be used by turning it around when certain conditions are met, to increase the power of an attack (these conditions being partner attacks, for example).

6. Energy: Similar to the Pokemon TCG, the cards placed face-down here can be used as energy to increase the power of the card on the ring.

7. Retirement zone: Where the defeated cards are placed, face-up.

8. Done zone: Where the cards that have finished their turn are placed, face-up.

Once a player’s card is retired or its turn is over, they have to pull a new card from the deck and present it on the ring, with the option of giving a one-shot counterattack to their opponent called "energy spark." The player can also "cancel" a skill their opponent might be about to use if the card on their ring allows it. The first player to defeat, or as the game calls it, "retire" 10 cards from their opponent wins.

This is what each feature on a VS card means:

1. Level: Amount of energy required to play with this card.

2. Card name.

3. Card title.

4. Card gender: pink heart is for female, blue spade is for male.

5. Partner card name.

6. Partner card title.

7. Partner card gender.

8. Work title: The name of the franchise the character's card is from.

9. Attack power.

10. Defense power.

11. Skill name.

12. Skill effect.

13. Skill attribute.

14. Limited Icon: A card can have either a fire or water icon, but only up to four cards of the same icon can be in one deck.

SvsM was distributed via booster packs, each containing an assortment of character cards from different franchises, while VS was distributed with both trial decks and booster packs for each franchise they included in the game. The trial deck for Future Diary was released on August 1st, 2012, and the booster pack on September 1st, 2012. A few franchises even received more than one booster pack, but that wasn’t the case for Future Diary, which only received the two mentioned before. The trial deck is meant for beginners, at 1300 yen (9.56 $), including an instruction sheet, a deck manual, a playmat with artwork from its respective franchise and a pre-built deck of 50 cards for the player to battle with right away. The booster and extra booster packs on the other hand, are just to expand your existing collection. The booster pack, at 476 yen (3.50 $), comes with 4 regular card types and 2 special, “parallel” holographic types out of 45 regular possibilities and 45 parallel possibilities. While the content of the booster packs may vary, the trial deck’s cards were always the same.

As for the Future Diary cards, the trial deck had the chance of containing a random card (originally ⅙ possibility rate, which was then renewed to ¼) stamped with an autograph from Tomosa Murata (Yuno’s VA). This deck was also pre-sold at the Future Diary “Live World” Event. The booster pack had the chance of containing random foil-stamped autograph cards from Tomosa Murata, Misuzu Togashi (Yukiteru’s VA) and Mai Aizawa (Minene’s VA). Along with the cards’ release, Bushiroad also made 4 Future Diary themed volumes of their “HG Sleeve Collection.” These are card sleeves which featured character artwork on the front as a cover, and were meant to help players organize, display, and store their cards safely. Each set of sleeves included 60, of 92 x 67 mm at 700 yen (5,15 $). The respective ones for Future Diary were volumes: 249 “Mirai Nikki” and 250 “Mirai Nikki” upon the trial deck release, and 351 “Mirai Nikki Part 2,” and 352 “Mirai Nikki Part 2” after the booster pack came out. Here’s the link to a video on an auction site showing off what the sleeves look like (not the Future Diary ones, also terrible video quality but it was the best I could find):

And here are the two sets of sleeves:

Note: the artwork on the last Minene image was first featured at the beginning of the light novel "Future Diary E"

In the official VS site, there's also a sub-page which talks about deck combinations for each franchise. This is the link from the Future Diary one:

It mentions that the most powerful card from this franchise to have on your deck is "Swimsuit Yuno." It also shows a list underneath of all the 45 regular cards available in the booster pack (though only the pages for cards 1 - 20 are visible on the Wayback Machine).

With this being said, there’s a total of 140 Future Diary cards, with 45 of those being rare and several of them with random autograph stamps. Along with that, there are also 4 different card sleeves and a themed playmat released for this series (which I can’t seem to find a photo of unfortunately, but imagine a Future Diary themed mat with outlines for where to place the cards xd). Now, with that in mind, I only managed to find the images of drum roll please… 59 cards

I also found images of the holographic and signed cards:

As well as the back of the cards, booster pack and trial deck packaging:

This means I'm missing... 81 cards.

*Sighs* I knew going into my research that I wouldn't be able to find every single one of them, but I'm still bummed that I'm missing over half. Anyway, I guess that this still serves as an overview for the VS Future Diary cards.

However, upon researching, I found this card that I thought was quite odd:

For instance, the frame of the card indicates that this is from a completely different line than VS, lacking all of the aforementioned details of its cards, not to mention that the artwork uses the style of the manga instead of the anime one (meaning this card is older than the VS ones). In other words, we got another card line in our hands, but the details of that one will be going up on a different post, since this one's already quite long. So till then, toodles.

With each step crafted to cater to a specific need, this routine aims to provide thorough care, yielding coveted glass skin. Let's venture into this regime, offering not just explanations but also statistical validations.

1. Oil-Based Cleanser

Initiating the process is the oil-based cleanser, a hero in removing stubborn, oil-based residues. Makeup, SPF, and even the relentless sebum produced by your skin is no match for these cleansers. According to Statista, oil cleansers saw a 30% surge in sales in 2020, indicating their popularity.

Suggestion: Explore Some Popular Cleansers on Aigoo to find your ideal match. Gentle circular motions will ensure makeup and grime melt away.

2. Water-Based Cleanser

The follow-up with a water-based cleanser ensures every trace of dirt and sweat is gone. Did you know? A survey by the Dermatology Research and Practice indicated that 70% of skin issues arise due to improper cleansing. This step guarantees a pristine base.

Suggestion: Choose sulfate-free cleansers to maintain your skin's natural moisture.

3. Exfoliation

Shedding away the dead skin cells to reveal a brighter complexion is the mission here. Allure magazine stated in a 2019 report that regular exfoliation can enhance skin luminosity by 20%. Dive into Some Popular Exfoliators from Aigoo to unveil a refreshed skin.

Suggestion: Limit to 2-3 times weekly. Excessive exfoliation can be counterproductive.

Suggestion: Dive into Aigoo's curated list of Some Popular Toners and find the perfect fit for your skin.

Suggestion: Discover the vast range of Some Popular Serums and Ampoules on Aigoo.

7. Sheet Masks

The heart of K-beauty, sheet masks, saturated in nurturing serums, are a spa in a packet. As per the Korean Journal of Aesthetic Cosmetology, regular masking can amplify skin hydration levels by up to 40%.

Suggestion: Aigoo's collection of Some Popular Sheet Masks offers a plethora of choices to suit various skin needs.

8. Eye Cream

Addressing the fragile skin around the eyes, eye creams tackle dark circles, wrinkles, and puffiness. An article by Harper's Bazaar claimed that the right eye cream could cut down the appearance of fine lines by nearly 25%.

Suggestion: Apply using your ring finger for gentle care.

9. Moisturizer

Sealing all the nutrients and hydration, moisturizers are quintessential. According to the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, regular moisturizing can prevent early signs of aging.

Suggestion: Browse Aigoo's Some Popular Moisturizer range to find your holy grail.

10. Sunscreen

Guarding against UV rays is the sunscreen's primary role. Sunscreen use not only prevents sunburn but also combats premature aging. The Skin Cancer Foundation reported that daily sunscreen application can reduce skin-aging effects by 24%.

Suggestion: Reapply every two hours, especially if outdoors.

[poem-today]

A poem by Robert Fergusson

The Daft-Days

Now mirk December’s dowie face Glowrs owr the rigs wi sour grimace, While, thro’ his minimum of space, The bleer-ey’d sun, Wi blinkin light and stealing pace, His race doth run.

From naked groves nae birdie sings, To shepherd’s pipe nae hillock rings, The breeze nae od’rous flavour brings From Borean cave, And dwyning nature droops her wings, Wi visage grave.

Mankind but scanty pleasure glean Frae snawy hill or barren plain, Whan winter, ‘midst his nipping train, Wi frozen spear, Sends drift owr a’ his bleak domain, And guides the weir.

Auld Reikie! thou’rt the canty hole, A bield for many caldrife soul, Wha snugly at thine ingle loll, Baith warm and couth, While round they gar the bicker roll To weet their mouth.

When merry Yule-day comes, I trou, You’ll scantlins find a hungry mou; Sma are our cares, our stamacks fou O’ gusty gear, And kickshaws, strangers to our view, Sin fairn-year.

Ye browster wives, now busk ye braw, And fling your sorrows far awa; Then come and gie’s the tither blaw Of reaming ale, Mair precious than the well of Spa, Our hearts to heal.

Then, tho’ at odds wi a’ the warl’, Amang oursels we’ll never quarrel; Tho’ Discord gie a canker’d snarl To spoil our glee, As lang’s there’s pith into the barrel We’ll drink and ‘gree.

Fidlers, your pins in temper fix, And roset weel your fiddle-sticks; But banish vile Italian tricks Frae out your quorum, Not fortes wi pianos mix – Gie’s Tulloch Gorum.

For nought can cheer the heart sae weel As can a canty Highland reel; It even vivifies the heel To skip and dance: Lifeless is he wha canna feel Its influence.

Let mirth abound, let social cheer Invest the dawning of the year; Let blithesome innocence appear To crown our joy; Nor envy wi sarcastic sneer Our bliss destroy.

And thou, great god of Aqua Vitae! Wha sways the empire of this city, When fou we’re sometimes capernoity, Be thou prepar’d To hedge us frae that black banditti, The City Guard.

Robert Fergusson (1750 - 1774)

Glossary

daft days: Christmas, New Year's Day, and the first Monday of the year, kept as a time of gaiety.  Daft. Merry, foolish.

mirk: Dark dowie: Dull rigs: Ridges dwyning: Fading, withering weir: War Auld Reikie: Edinburgh  canty: Cheerful bield: Shelter cauldrife: Dejected ingle: Fire burning on the hearth couth: Sociable gar: Make bicker: A wooden dish scantlins: Scarcely mou: Mouth gusty gear: Pleasing food kickshaws: Fancy dishes in cookery sin' fairn-year: Since last year browster: Brewer busk ye bra; Dress yourselves handsomely reaming: Foaming Well of Spa: Mineral springs in Belgium roset: Put resin on fortes wi' pianos: Loud with soft passages Give us Tulloch Gorum: (a song by John Skinner) Aqua Vitae: Brandy or other spirits capernoity: Bad-tempered

NOTE: On 2 January 1772, Fergusson’s ‘The Daft Days’ was published in The Weekly Magazine. The poem was a pioneering contribution, being the first piece in Scots ever to be published in the periodical. Concerning the ‘daft days’ of Edinburgh’s Christmastime celebrations, the poem glorifies the Scots tradition of festivity. While retaining classical elements, ‘The Daft Days’ is categorically Scots, both in its language and its use of the renowned Standard Habbie stanza. As well as this Scottish emphasis, the scene described in ‘The Daft Days’ particularly belongs to Edinburgh or, more precisely ‘Auld Reikie’, the vernacular term for the Old Town. Auld Reikie is described as ‘the canty hole’, a comforting ‘bield for mony caldrife soul’. In this poem, and in others such as ‘The King’s Birth-day in Edinburgh’, ‘Hallow Fair’, ‘To the Tron Kirk Bell’ (all 1772) and ‘Mutual Complaint of Plainstanes and Causey’ (1773), Fergusson demonstrates his Scots credentials, and his place as the ‘laureate’ of Auld Reikie.

Writing practice 8! A different point of view

This includes our last honorable mention species, Swans! I decided to borrow from a previous work (found here ) and show an interaction from her side.

Shelly frowned as she double checked the appointment books. Blanche was a ruthless boss, the sharp put together rat insisted on having a copy made of the appointment document three times a day, before open, at noon, and right before close. The rat was meticulous about book keeping and tracking, and beyond paranoid that something could be missed, despite the end of day audits of all the appointments that had been done. 

Despite the extra extraneous work however, working at Spa Corps et Espirit was a huge accomplishment. While she was only a secretary on paper, Blanche had already promised to move her into a hairdresser assistant before the summer. Her grades in cosmetology school, and the job giving her an in where others would have to prove themselves in the fifteen dollar hair salons first. 

Report finished she pulled out the book she’d found on the table in the break room a few days ago, ‘Stylish Preening’. Blanche encouraged extra education and kept fashion magazines and new and old textbooks and instructionals in the back to be perused at convenience. Take enough of an interest in something and Blanche would set you up with a plan to get it added to the skills you could do and sell, which lead to a bigger paycheck. 

The spa and salon worked on a performance basis for a paycheck. You had a guaranteed amount based on a minimum level of work or maintenance tasks, and then an added performance level for tasks above and beyond, or client specific work. Shelly earned hers by submitting her exam and semester grades, and writing reports about any reading she did in her down time (and bonus points if it was also submitted to her cosmetology school; Blanche rewarded smart thinking). 

Hence reading on the job. Stylish Preening was a how-to book on preening and preening services written for mammals and non-feathered reptilian stylists. For most clients a preening consult resulted in a cool water spray bath, spritzes with special oils or detergents, skin scrubbing and allowing the client to preen themselves without having to engage their hands. The book however listed how to use special brushes or how to help remove pin feathers for clients needing help, It explained how to lay feathers to achieve certain looks, how to safely dye feathers, and even a special part dedicated to unique feather types. 

Shelly, being a swan, felt that it was about time someone started paying attention to what bird clients needed. While many mammals did trust bird stylists, many people didn’t know what to do once a bird was on the chair as opposed to holding the scissors. Maybe if she could extend her talent into feather keeping as well she could start off with a higher salary then most beginning ‘hair’ stylists. 

She took notes in a small leather notebook. Desperately she tried to pin out the most important points to write down. It helped her remember the key areas or allowed for quick referencing for when she actually got asked questions. 

Her studying was interrupted by the phone ringing. She pinched her bill before picking up the receiver, annoyed at being interrupted from her studying. She hoped Blanche would move her into a training position soon, she hated answering dumb questions asked the same time each week by the same rich old ladies who came in weekly to get their hair done. 

As she finished the phone call she noticed that someone had walked up to the desk. She turned and cocked her eye towards the tall horse with bulging muscles in sweats. In sweats! This was a high end spa, not the spa in a mall. 

“I have an all day spa appointment,” the horse told her, holding out a printed version of the email. She turned her head at it, wondering if someone had tried to set up fake confirmations so people could get services for free, it wouldn’t be the first time she’d dealt with a scammer.

“Are you sure it was this location? Not down the road?” she deadpanned making no effort to grab the paper. Maybe this horse would get the message and turn around and go to one of the walk in spas. 

“No, I’m a regular,” the horse said, pushing the paper in her direction. Classic scam behavior if she ever saw one. If the horse really wanted to seem authentic then she should have come in designer clothing. 

Shelly glared at the mare, waiting for her to realize the jig is up and leave. She opened her mouth to retort back when she was interrupted, “Anastasia! Oh, I’m so glad you’re here, beautiful!” Shelly turned to see Oliver, the Lisa Frank dyed Poodle, come sashaying out o f the back. 

“Having issues getting checked in?” Oliver addressed the mare, ignoring Shelly.

“She won’t take my confirmation email. And I have five minutes before my first farrier appointment of the day,” the mare told the poodle, her frustration bubbling through her voice.

“Well why not?” Oliver turned toward Shelly, popping his hip for emphasis. She couldn’t believe it. Blanche had told her that there was a certain atmosphere the spa had, and that depended on a certain type of clientele. A type of clientele that the horse did not fit. 

“She didn’t seem like our normal clientele,” Shelly defended herself, “I mean she’s here in sweats,” she hissed the last word.

“Sweats? Sweats? Do you need your eyes checked,” Oliver exclaimed, “She’s obviously wearing athleisure,”he corrected with a frown, “And of course Anastasia isn’t like our normal clientele, she’s an athlete! Now get her checked in so that I can plan her coat and mane treatments, or I’ll tell Blanche you’re scaring away my favorite customer.”

Shelly glared at Oliver nodding before she took the confirmation and double checked it on the computer. Her cheeks felt hot as the mare’s appointments came up on the screen. “You’re all checked in. It's straight back to the farrier’s forge.”

As the mare left Oliver turned and chastised Shelly further, “Look I know you got this job partially because you are doing so well at your cosmetology school, but you need to work on your customer service skills.”
