just to get a taste of how insane I am about Baatar, I never refer to him as ‘Jr.’ when I talk about him bc I know he doesn’t like being called that. I always call him just Baatar while his dad gets the ‘Sr.” added. I only use the Jr. in his name in the post tags so my stuff of him shows up in the search lol. I do this for a fictional man okay

[brofightiscancelled]

list of fanfics i like

ichimatsu and todomatsu get white girl wasted. it's funny

totty climbs mt fuji by himself. really really nice character study fic

totty climbs other mountains with his brothers, followup to the last fic. the brother interactions are very funny and on point

denki mystery AU fic. the only one that exists, as far as i'm concerned. captures the stilted haunted vibe wonderfully. surprise cameo in the second chapter

suuji abt the spaces left between family gaps. i really like how jyushi's POV is written in this, it's a good balance of his silly goofiness and emotional intelligence. probably the only "jyushi deals w ichi attempting" fic ive liked

karamatsu's endurance test. excellently characterized. i like how it examines kara's Suffering without it feeling over the top or dramatic, the mundaneity of makes it sadder imo

osomatsu (high school) has a heart to heart with his dad while high on pain killers. i love how matsuzou is written in this one. i love family bonding

matsuyo watches her one-in-a-billion babies fight into the world. ohhhhh i love you matsuyoooo

97k word 46 chapter fanfic about karamatsu getting a gf and nothing bad happens to him. in breaking news, the super angsty and dramatic high stakes fan-favorite does in fact have the most ic, charming and hilarious narrative voice of all time

193k(??!!?) word fanfic abt karamatsu getting stuck in a time loop. again, the super angsty dramatic fan favorite does in fact have the most ic/charming/funny narrative voice. this one leans a Bit far into the drama for my personal tastes but is still excellent

high school matsus. ichi breaks his leg and jyushi pushes his wheelchair. most of the fic writers seem to have fallen off by the time the movie canonicized their HS personalities so i like every opportunity to see them interact

jyushimatsu's girlfriend meets all of his brothers. this one is just sweet and cute. i love you jyushimatsu's sad girlfriend

jyushi and ichi find a lost dog. this whole 2 by 2 series is quite good this one is just my fave

osomatsu and chibita pull back the curtain. now This is quality childhood friends content. character writing is great

jyushi post-letter fic. devastating. deserves special mention for the most fun jyushi character voice

^ this whole series is excellent. love reflecting on childhood moments. karamatsu having the best night of his life while his brothers are all having a fucked up and miserable one is so funny to me. i NEED to know how totty's interview went

[carrionsong]

SGBFUSKJSJHSI OMFG WAS IT???? im sorry i vagued you😭 it was def understandable back then when the first movie came back out and That scene happened... trying to be a fan of a chara who gets horrible "jokes" written for them n theyre just hated forever is shitty but the reaction is obvs also reasonable bc pedophillia jokes are just. ughhh i still get upset thinking about it. but its fine, honestly ;o;

Just wanted to make a quick post about how nice it is to see people like Choromatsu now...

I remember when people hated him like very very vocally, so much so that he was even censored in group art or erased altogether. He and Totty got the worst ends of the fandom by far.

Osomatsu mostly was just people thinking he was boring (he isn't) and not like literal vitriolic hatred. I like that people see Choromatsu's cute traits now without having to sacrifice his flaws!

[mrsshabana]

I learned today that someone stole art from my very dear friend. They copied it almost exactly and did not give her any credit or ask for permission to copy her idea.

As an artist and a writer I've had my work taken multiple times and it isn't fun. It's literally the most crushing feeling in the world. Like all the hours you put into creating something was worth absolutely nothing. And to be honest, when these things happen I always wonder, "What's the point?" It makes me want to just delete all of my accounts and disappear from social media. Because people do this so shamelessly and then try to blame you. Like you're the one overreacting. It isn't fair.

It's truly disgusting behavior. It makes it hard for us artists to gain the courage to post our art online. If you are an artist and you are inspired by someone else's art, there's no shame in asking them for permission. Seriously, if someone asks me, 9 times out of 10 I will say yes. It's messed up to go behind someone's back and claim it as their own.

This happened today to my friend @matsukaah. I'm sure many of you know her, she's truly amazing. And I hope you know that Matsu. I know this is discouraging and the way that person responded to you was absolutely awful, you don't deserve to be disrespected like that.

Just know that we are all here for you and we support you and everything you create.

I'm not going to say the person's name that did this, because I don't want to cause a manhunt or make more drama out of the situation. Even though they showed zero remorse after being confronted nicely and only reacted in an ugly and selfish manner. I hope they learn from the situation and do not repeat this behavior.

It's funny because I've had this person blocked for months. So I can't say I'm surprised this happened. If you want to know who this person is to block them for yourself you can send me a dm. But even though they've acted so terribly, please don't send them any hateful messages. I don't want to endorse that.

Anyway, sorry for the random rant. This situation just made me so angry that I had to say something. Especially because this happened to my close friend. I hope you're ok Matsu, if you want to talk about it you can call me sometime and we can talk. 🫂♡

[hdhdgsgs]

Hi Hi! Idk how I ended up here lol (maybe through Bard’s page?? idk) anyway! I see that you’re writing for Osomatsu San right now! Would I be able to request your headcanons on every matsu comforting their crying significant other? Pleeeeease? lol I love the comfy stuff

First post back from writers block/burn out, I know some aren’t as long as others and I’m sorry it’s not consistent but I love the idea!

Osomatsu

For a little bit after you start crying he’s stunned, he’s not sure what to do. He’s comforted his brothers before but they’re his brothers, you’re a whole different person that he hasn’t learnt his whole life to comfort.

He’ll pay your back first then offer an awkward hug that turns into cuddling and crying into him with him rubbing the back of your hair and saying how you’ll be ok, kissing your head every now and then.

If you don’t want to be physically touched he’ll just tell you it’ll be okay and that he’ll listen if you need to talk, just constant sweet talking and he’ll throw in a little flirting or joking around if he feels like it’ll make you feel better.

He’ll even offer his beer or to eat instant ramen with him, he might even ‘force��� (ask) his mother to make him and you something, to which she would say yes and comfort you as much as she could and as she’s raised 6 kids at the same time, she’s pretty good at it.

He’ll offer you sex, half-joking, but if you take him up on his offer he’d be delighted to help, whether that means fast and rough or slow and sweet. He’d totally even be willing to get none of the pleasure himself because he wants to make you feel good (and he’s a pervert), you deserve it after all.

Karamatsu

He’s read up on this a LOT before so he can understand and comfort his future partner. He loves you and asks before every little thing he does, if you want ANYTHING he’ll run all over Tokyo as fast as he can to get it for you. If his brothers are around he’ll either boss them into doing things for you or he’ll threaten them to stay as far away as possible so you can be in piece.

Affection needed? He’s ready, he’ll do anything to make you happy, even if it’s (not shaming anyone) kissing your feet. He’s ready, cuddles are elite and he’s petting you everywhere he knows you like, kisses galore and touching places he knows makes you giddy. At one point he thinks about tickling you to see you laugh but he decides against it after thinking for a minute.

For gifts and acts of service, he’ll go ALL over Tokyo, fuck, even Japan if he has to, all to make you happy. If he can’t afford he WILL beg, steal and take what he needs to. He will empty everyone he knows bank account, or maybe just hatabou’s cuz he’s rich.

You want words of affirmation? He’s got it, words sweeter than ever before come out of his mouth, comforting and reassuring you until his vocal cords stop working and still then he’ll write it all down. He won’t joke around until he knows you feel good enough, so he will test the waters, every now and then with little jokes before unleashing his attack of humour to make you laugh.

Quality time, no problemo. He’s sitting and laying and standing around, just being with you, if you don’t want to talk he won’t, he’ll give you tissues, water, a plush, ice cream and just sit with you. He isn’t used to not talking for so long but he will anything for his karamatsu angel.

Choromatsu

Worst one of all of them, but he’s trying his best. He will pat your back and say “it’s not that serious, you’ll be okay.” Please get mad at him… he isn’t hurt by it for the most part, he’s used to a lot worse by his brothers.

Eventually he’ll learn and get better but at the start he’s grossly bad for someone who reads romance manga on the daily. He might try things he sees there, affection and tissues/water but after a while he’ll honestly just sit next to you and stare into space. He’s perplexed.

If you ask him about getting something or doing something for you, he will be a dork and salute, immediately getting up to help. He might put on some idol shows on tv or try and distract you by putting together a figurine with you. Choromatsu would offer a beer or sake to cheer you up, since it always makes him feel better (even though that’s unhealthy). Some more of his ideas include forcing Totty to search up ways to help, making his brothers embarrass themselves to make you laugh or running around doing things for you (which they will do in the hope you might like them too because you were able to fall for Choromatsu, but they won’t make it that obvious). Cuddles are a thing choromatsu has always been hesitant about, meaning he has to be insanely vulnerable, but he’ll throw away all vain the second he sees you upset.

Ichimatsu

Panics but keeps it on the inside so you wont stress more. He decides to treat you the same way he treats cats, only knowing how to cheer them up. So he’ll buy you food or get it from his cupboards and pet your head. He’ll whisper sweet nothings in your ear while giving your head a massage (which he’s surprisingly good at) making sure to focus behind your ears and the top of your head. Ichimatsu loves getting kisses but he’s not too confident on giving them so he won’t kiss your lips for his own comfort but he will kiss everywhere else, up your arms, your neck, your face, your head, everywhere else however if you ask him directly he will buck up and give you a small kiss on the lips, followed by more as he gets more confident. Orders his brothers around if you need something since he’s giving you affection at the moment.

Sends out a cat signal(idk) and gets all the little fluffy bois in the area to come and cuddle up! (As a chubby girl myself) He WILL put you on his lap for cuddles, he doesn’t care about weight at all whether you’re underweight, average or overweight. He wants to hold his kitten no matter what. If you end up eating something he’ll physically feed you like a baby, feeling very protective.

Jyushimatsu

Cat eyes, thinking face. Stays like that for a few second then runs around grabbing everything he can think of. Blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, water, tissues, a baseball, snacks and one of his hoodies. He brings it all and offers them, setting up a calm little area and wiping your tears with his sleeves, finding it more intimate than tissues.

Jyushimatsu sings a little song while laying you back on his chest and rubbing your back. He’s very used to comforting Ichimatsu so if you don’t want to be held he’ll know exactly how to help, he might even ask ichimatsu to help him get a cuddly cat for you. Wiggles his arms and and does the water trick too, but if you don’t respond he’ll stop immediately. Sits next to you and writes a love letter, detailed with all his feelings for you, he puts it in an envelope, seals it and hands it to you like you couldn’t see the whole thing being made, he’s VERY bashful about it too. Jyushi will also make you drink water to rehydrate and whisper meow over and over again in a sing song voice because he knows it helps Ichimatsu so surely it’ll help you right? Just need a distraction? He’ll talk about baseball for hours, the history, his favourite players, the rules and how to play it.

Todomatsu

Best equipped to handle it, doesn’t go about it well. Todomatsu doesn’t, in fact, use his phone. He feels it would be gross to use his phone when his partner needs comfort, and he panics wanting them to know he loves them more than life itself but not knowing how. He pulls you into a tight hug, telling you it’s going to be okay and that he loves you. Todomatsu will run his hand up and down your back while the other one is in your hair massaging the back of your head. He will push away his feelings of discomfort for a second to grab his phone, putting on soft music to help you relax, including a playlist he made especially for when he got a partner and he needed to comfort them. If Totty even sees a glimpse of a brother in the corner of his eye, they will be gone as soon as possible to make you feel safer and calmer. He hums along while he tries to make you fall asleep in his arms, I’m all honesty Todomatsu will do ANYTHING for his partner, he won’t let you go a single day feeling sad or bad because he truly adores you more than anything in the whole universe.

[dicenote]

For the ship ask game :>

6, 10 and 12 for Lawtsuda?

Hell yeah! Lawtsuda hcs coming up!

6. How they decorated their bedroom

I feel like they don't "decorate" per se. It's more like, they keep finding cool stuff and it winds up in their room on a shelf somehow. So things like cool rocks that Matsuda found or some cold cases that L was reading into will clutter their room and make it feel lived-in. Also, I think they have a big bed for nights where they both sleep in the bed together, as well as a big chair in the corner for L to sleep and/or work in.

10. What TV shows they watch together, and which ones they hide from the other

You know those soap operas with like a billion episodes and million absurd plot twists? I feel like they'd get hooked on one of those out of the blue and end up watching it regularly. Matsuda's legitimately into the characters and story, and L (who's sometimes working on a case while simultaneously watching) tries to predict some of the twists. Matsuda's convinced that L is friends with one of the show's writers or something, because his predictions tend to be spot on.

Matsuda likes watching kid's shows, but he's a little afraid of L teasing him for it or calling him childish. I'm talking shows like Steven Universe, for example. I think Matsuda would find comfort in shows that always have a happy ending. And he likes the music, too. When L finds out about it, Matsuda feels a little silly about hiding it, and he ends up info-dumping about the story and characters.

In a similar vein, old cartoons are L's guilty pleasure. I don't think he intentionally hides his interest from Matsuda, it's more that he only watches the cartoons when he's having a really bad day. He's probably got a small collection of old VHS tapes that he plays through, and he's memorized every episode on them.

12. What they do for their anniversary

I feel like they'd both somehow forget which day their anniversary is. Like, Matsuda is sure it's the 7th, but L is also sure it's the 9th, or something like that. They'd spend a while hunting down evidence until they figure out what day they actually got together. Hell, for L, that would be a date night all on its own, lmao.

On the day (whenever it is), Matsuda gets L a big cake from a local bakery. Somehow, he doesn't drop it on his way back, lol. He'd probably also get L some fun presents, like a new puzzle game, or a plushie that reminded him of L. L absolutely loves it.

L isn't the most social person, but he loves Matsuda, so he gets a reservation for them at a restaurant that Matsu's always wanted to go to. He has a good time, especially because he's with Matsuda. There's a pretty good chance that they wind up getting kicked out of said restaurant, but they're having fun.

[precuredaily]

Once again the calendar has reached the lovely day of April 4 (three weeks ago)! That means it is (was) the birthday of my favorite Precure, Yukishiro Honoka! 20 years after her series she would be about 34 years old today, if she were real.

It's no great secret that the formula for the original series was taking two girls from opposite walks of life and teaming them up, to represent the strength of friendship. Honoka's charm was her intelligence and pursuit of science, while remaining kind and fairly humble despite her wealthy background. Without Nagisa's influence she probably wouldn't be taking many risks, and without Honoka's influence, Nagisa would probably be dead. Well, neither of them would be Precure so probably not, but both would definitely be worse off.

I haven't actually watched Otona Precure yet, but it is my understanding that Black and White appear at the very end of the last episode, looking the same as ever. I'm not clear if they have any dialog. The Kamikta Twins (the most consistently quality part of this fandom) released a piece of artwork that included aged up designs for Nagisa and Honoka. I have to assume they're official and Toei-sanctioned.

Last year, I said I hoped for an Otona-style sequel to FWPC. The middling to negative reception of the series has me second guessing that. But the art is nice.

As always, enjoy the gallery and congratulations to Honoka, and of course thanks to everyone involved in creating and bringing her to life: Character designer Iganami Akira, series director Nishio Daisuke, series composition/head writer Kawasaki Ryo, voice actress Yukana, and more.

[lili-harg]

my my, a new kny writer? thats awesome!!

hello, as a little treat, could a request maybe kanzaki aoi with a s/o who is a cat owner? i think scenarios like seeing the cats furr everywhere and purring would be adorable ♪

Kanzaki Aoi x S/o cat owner

• Gender Neutral Reader

• Hello how are you? I hope very well, I really appreciate you being the first request I have, I hope you like it and I want you to know that it is my first time writing a request and also for this character, so I hope you enjoy it 💗

❀.°• ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ •°.❀

It was a sunny morning in the butterfly mansion, you had woken up early and you had the feeling that today would be a calm day, or at least that's what you thought; since you wouldn't think that returning from doing the errands assigned by Aoi to be stopped by some sounds.

You stopped when you heard some sad and weak meows, apparently fate knew that you have a weakness for felines so you decided to follow the sound to guide you and find the owners of it; After walking a few meters you found a small and adorable black cat, it had big green eyes, but they looked sad. You decided to take the little one in your hands so you could examine him and find the cause of the pain, at first the little cat tried to put up a little resistance, you clearly noticed that he was scared, so with all the gentleness you had you tried to pet him and let him know that You had no intention of hurting him.

After a few minutes you managed to move the animal a little and saw a wound on its back leg, it was not very serious but clearly it should be healed before it gets worse, so you decided that it would be best to take it to the farm to cure it. "I hope Aoi doesn't mind me bringing another cat" you say remembering when a few months ago you had to insist to your stubborn girlfriend to convince her that adopting your cat "Matsu" would be a good idea, it took time but you did it; although you don't count on the fact that you had to work twice as hard for a week on the farm and then indulge her and thank her. But anyway. You quickened your steps after picking up the little cat ready to transport him to the butterfly farm. It didn't take you long, so when you were already at the door you decided that you would take the animal to your room and then you would think about how to tell your girlfriend about the matter.

You clearly didn't count on the fact that Aoi had already sensed your presence, so seeing you quickly lock yourself in your room caught her attention. Heading to your room she knocked on your door

- "y/n why the rush to get into your room?" she asked, clearly nervous, you didn't know what excuse to come up with, since you weren't planning on being discovered by Aoi so quickly, "come on, y/n, think of something quickly."

-"I was very tired and I decided that the best thing would be to take a nap"

answer yourself, trying to sound as realistic as possible.

-"A nap at twelve noon" she says clearly suspecting something

-"I really need one because I'm a little weak from my walk"

your doubtful tone betrayed your nervousness, you cursed your poor ability to lie

-"y/n you worry me, I'm going in" and without even listening to any of your hasty excuses for not doing so, the blue eye opens your door. giving up you decide that there is no point in trying to hide the small feline that was lying on your bed.

Aoi sighs, clearly not very surprised by the small animal, everyone on the farm knew about your little adoration of cats.

-"So this was what you wanted to hide from me" he says looking at you

-" I'm sorry but it's urgent, little Sugi needs help"

-"Oh! he already has a name" she says trying to hide his smile, because she doesn't want to admit that she finds it cute the weakness that your partner has for these animals

- "yes I thought about it while I was heading here, but look" you say pointing to his foot, he should cure it.

The little sugi was no longer meowing but his lack of emotion was still noticeable. After Aoi's speech to you about the responsibility it would be to have another cat and how you should take care of this cat and Matsu yourself, they got to work and started healing the little one. After a few weeks, the new feline member of the Sugi farm had recovered successfully, all the girls loved the little one, except your other beloved pet Matsu, who was not very happy with the fact of having to share the attention that everyone had previously given him. The farm was given to you, Aoi, the girls and even the patients.

Some days you and Aoi had to deal with their antics like when you had to clean up the two cats after they got into the fountain and got dirty, or when you got into a fight over yarn and broke a vase, (you had to convince Aoi that he doesn't take them and that you would buy another vase).

But despite all those antics, over time Matsu got used to Sugi's presence and they began to get along better, so everything became calmer and so one night in which you and Aoi were reading quietly in your room, They were accompanied by the presence of the two felines, you were very happy to be able to share such a quiet and special moment with your beautiful girlfriend and the little kittens that you adored so much.

[thebardisabird]

Do you think the show writers will ever give the matsus a canon s/o?

Absolutely not lol. Temporarily? Maybe. Jyushimatsu got close and Karamatsu was held against his will with Dobusu that one time, but in my opinion they will never have a permanent, canon partner. Thus the reason that they’re failures - can’t get jobs, can’t find partners and move up in life, etc.

[nishipostitz]

when youre in public

multi character x gn!read

tw! non consensual touching

he sees a man lovingly pat his significant other’s bum. but he also sees the significant other flinch and try to move away. (for context, my man rn is far away and just left the bathroom 😭) then, he saw clues. this significant other was wearing the exact thing you did, and had the same body outline. ‘oh shoot’ he thought. ‘THATS MY BAE!’ then he ran to your rescue and beat the other guy for violating you ❤️‍🩹

bokuto, atsumu, hinata, daichi, iwa, yaku, SEMMMI SEMMMMIIIIII, aran, sunarin, my man sakusa.

oikawa, atsumu x2, suga, asahi, tendou ❤️, sunarin x2, aran, bokuto……………..

the one taking pics of you for your social media page. would take SO many candid photos of you. 99% of his camera roll is you, the rest are irrelevant. his words, not mine.

kuroo, aone, ukai, tsukki, yams, kageyama, iwa x2, kunimi, kenma, AKAAAAAASHIIIIIIII, ushiwaka, kita, sunarin

take pics for HIS social media page. but like, man LITERALLY has a fan account for you. people are jealous of him, or maybe you? jealous of him because he scored such a perfect person. but jealous of you for even finding him in the first place 🤨. like, how much was he?

nishi, tanaka 😋, matsu, lev, kita x2, samu, SUNARIN X3, bokuto x2, TENDOUUUUU x2

High School Lit Tournament Side C

I Am a Cat: Written from 1904 through 1906, Soseki Natsume's comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class Japanese society during the Meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him. A classic of Japanese literature, I Am a Cat is one of Soseki's best-known novels. Considered by many as the most significant writer in modern Japanese history, Soseki's I Am a Cat is a classic novel sure to be enjoyed for years to come.

The Samurai's Garden: A 20-year-old Chinese painter named Stephen is sent to his family's summer home in a Japanese coastal village to recover from a bout with tuberculosis. Here he is cared for by Matsu, a reticent housekeeper and a master gardener. Over the course of a remarkable year, Stephen learns Matsu's secret and gains not only physical strength, but also profound spiritual insight. Matsu is a samurai of the soul, a man devoted to doing good and finding beauty in a cruel and arbitrary world, and Stephen is a noble student, learning to appreciate Matsu's generous and nurturing way of life and to love Matsu's soul-mate, gentle Sachi, a woman afflicted with leprosy.

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @bixxelated, thank you so much! Sorry for the late response too lol ;v;

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

174

2. What’s your total word count?

935,069

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Osomatsu-San and my AUs related to the series, but maybe one day I'll expand that list.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

"Everything Changes When We're Apart" > "I Want to Be Okay" > "We Love Karamatsu" > "Matsu Writevember 2018" > "I'm Fine!"

5. Do you respond to comments?

Oh absolutely, I love and appreciate every comment I receive and will always try to express it ;v;

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Despite all the angst I write, most of my fics at least end on a positive, hopeful note...but I'd say "Best Friends" had a pretty sad ending given the nature of the rest of the fic leading up to it. I had a few people upset by it lol. "Nightmare" is another one with a pretty bleak ending.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hmm I think "I Want to Be Okay" got a pretty happy ending considering the emotional ride that was the rest of the fic...I like to think it's a hopeful conclusion, one that shows the progress of Choromatsu's ongoing journey with recovery and his determination to create a brighter future for himself.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

So far I haven't, fortunately ;;

9. Do you write smut?

Sometimes...it's not my forte but it can still be fun and I try to practice with writing it so I'll be more confident in it.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Not true crossovers...I've written silly things like Oso and Choro playing Bendy and things like that, but not an actual crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of ;v;

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but maybe one day!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not, but while I'm somewhat particular about my writing process I wouldn't be against the idea either.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

The majority of my fics aren't ship-centric but I love HappiChoro, DayToge, TotoNyaa, and JyushiHomu.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

I don't currently have any WIPs that I don't intend to finish, I plan to get to them all eventually...mostly it's just half-baked ideas rolling around in my head that I may or may not ever end up doing anything with.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I feel like one of my strongest points in writing is with inner dialogue--describing in depth what the character is thinking and feeling, their perspective. It's something I've always enjoyed describing so I feel I've honed that skill well.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I still sometimes struggle with writing dialogue that feels natural, especially when it's a character whose voice I feel like I haven't nailed down.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

I've really not done this aside from incorporating a few Japanese terms and phrases that don't have much of an English equivalent/sound better when retaining their original context, so I'd say this is non-applicable.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Oso-San is actually the first fandom I've fully written and shared fics for.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Gosh I have a few...probably at the top of my list would be "I Want to Be Okay," "Unwell," "Everything Changes When We're Apart" and "Don't Worry About Me." No surprise that all of them feature a heavy dose of Choro angst.

Tagging @stormoftara @sakuranights1 and anyone else who'd like to try this!!

Aoishidatami-dori Street, Shimane

Historical landmark in Matsue, Japan

Address: 581 Mihonosekicho Mihonoseki, Matsue, Shimane 690-1501, Japan

Aoishitatami-dori (Blue Stone-Paved Street)

青石畳通り

The old’sscape and stone-paved street are soothing

Mihonoseki prospered as a result of building up around Miho Shrine. The blue stone paving that leads from Miho Shrine to Bukkoku-ji (Bukkoku Temple) is a remnant of the street to the shrine that existed in the Edo period. You come upon the stone-paved street after passing under Miho Shrine’s torii gate, and after walking for a while, you arrive at Bukkoku Temple. The street in front of the shrine has been formed by laying stones of various shapes, with some of the larger ones measuring 80 cm2. The stone paving was laid around 1804-1807. In ancient times, the area is said to have been full of inns and souvenir shops that were patronized by the shrine’s worshippers. The oldscape and the stone-paved street are remnants of those times, and engender the area with a calm atmosphere.

Matsue

City in Japan

Matsue is a city on the northwest coast of Japan's main island. Matsue Castle is one of Japan's few largely intact 17th-century castles. The surrounding park is known for Jozan Inari Shrine’s fox statues. Across the castle moat, Shiomi Nawate street is lined with Edo-period samurai residences. The Lafcadio Hearn Former Residence was the Greek writer’s local home. Pleasure boats ply the waters of vast Lake Shinji. 

Area: 573 km²

12, 13, 14, 15, 21 & 22 for the character ask for Matsuda. :)

Yayyyy thank you for the ask!! :D

Get ready because I feel like I'm gonna write an essay and a half about The Guy

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Oh geez, I feel like I have so many. How can I pick one?

A random one is that Matsu is the kind of guy to like lying on his bedroom floor. Like, if he had a rough day? Floor Time. He's contemplated so many things while staring at his ceiling. It really helps him feel grounded; when his brain is screaming at him to Do Something, it can help to just lay down and think through stuff.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

@lawlietscaramels sometimes uses 🦆 for Matsuda, so that emoji now reminds me of him. I keep forgetting to ask lei why they chose a duck, but it feels weirdly fitting haha. Matsuda's just a duck kind of guy, I suppose.

Matsuda seems like he'd use emoticons as punctuation. Stuff like :D and :'( help get his point across in messages when his tone might be read incorrectly (especially when he's messaging someone who can't read sarcasm in an email, Ide). If he's feeling a little extra (and/or texting Misa) he'll use over-the-top emoticons like ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ because he finds them fun and silly! Also, I think he'd do 😔 a lot, both irl and over the internet.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

I don't know the right word for it, but you know the aesthetic of, like, a bowling alley carpet? That's how his vibes are too me. Like, he's casual and fun, and I associate him with dark tones offset by bright neons.

As far as how he'd actually dress (outside of what we see in canon, where he's wearing a suit 99% of the time), I feel like it'd be kinda close to goblincore? This is kinda based on me googling and poking around sites, so I might be off with this 😅 I do think he'd love a chunky earth-tone sweater and corduroys, though. Something cozy and casual, you know?

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

hnnnngh why do you have to do this to me /lh I'm gonna talk about a few of them because I can't help myself they're all so good.

I love so many for different reasons! I think my favorite right now is probably MatsuIde, because I really enjoy their dynamic and banter. Also there's so much hurt/comfort potential with these two post-Kira. I feel like, after everything's happened, they have this connection to each other because they feel like no one else can really understand what those 5 years were like. This is true for the entire Task Force (and I like AizaMatsu for similar reasons), but with MatsuIde it just hits different, you know? Maybe it's because they spend so much time together onscreen (on panel?).

LawTsuda is probably my favorite ship for the first half of the manga/anime. Emotional intelligence vs. Logical intelligence is a ship dynamic that I fall for every single time, and Matsu and L have those respective traits in spades.

I also am a Canon One-Sided MatsuLight truther, lmao. Matsuda having a crush on Light feels so right but so wrong, and it really helps put parts of the second half into context. Like, Matsuda shooting Light hits so much harder that way, idk. Imagining a world where this ship is healthy is difficult but I find their dynamic so so interesting. Matsuda you deserve so much better but I can't help myself sorry.

TL;DR- MatsuIde is probably my fav overall, LawTsuda is my fav for the first half, MatsuLight is the crunchiest.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

My answer to both questions has to do with writing his impulsivity. His priorities differ a lot from other characters, and that changes what details he pays attention to and how he reacts to information. It also means that he's going to act irrationally in the name of Doing Something. Which is fun to play with! In chapters 9 and 10 of Weekend At Ryuzaki's, for example, I was trying to give off the idea that Matsuda is being quickly backed into a corner, which causes him to make a lot more mistakes and hasty decisions.

But on the other hand, writing an unpredictable character acting unpredictably while also making it satisfying and interesting to read is really hard. Like, I don't want him to seem like he's randomly bullshitting his way to answers that move the plot along. He has reasons for doing things in the heat of the moment, even if his reasons aren't exactly logical.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

I like to read just about anything with the "Matsuda Touta is Not an Idiot" tag, lol. Because he's not, really. Sure, he acts without thinking sometimes, and his thought process is very different from L's and Light's, but he's not an idiot. I like fics where he solves or helps solve the Kira murders, but his line of logic is different than the one used by L/Near in canon.

It's really hard to think of things in fic I don't like, to be honest! I guess one would be the Matsuda/Sayu pairing. I just find it kinda icky given that one scene in canon with them together. If they are both older, and it's a small part of an otherwise compelling fic, I can usually forgive it, though.
