#yjh intro.

[mixtcpes]

₊˙ ◌ ⁎˚ 〇﹒﹙kim mingyu. cis male. he/him.﹚guess who was almost late for their shift at kyobo book centre again?? that’s right, it was yoo jaehoon! it’s a wonder their job as a manager isn’t in jeopardy. the twenty-five year old has been working at sunset galleria for seven years, and is well known for their perceptive nature. on bad days, they can be rather vindictive, though. when the mall is dead at night, they can usually be found teaching his baby sister to skateboard through the mall, but don’t tell their boss!

hi hello! i'm casie (she/her, 21+) and i'll be bringing my favorite little dude yoo jaehoon to the group! you can find some info about him below - if you'd like to plot or get a starter going just give this a like and i'll slip slide into your ims! i also have a discord - feel free to ask if you'd like to chat there instead!! (TW: ALCOHOLISM, ABANDONMENT, PREGNANCY, PARENT DEATH).

okay so summary of his early life: his mom was mia and his dad had trouble settling down. yoo jaemin was a dreamer and when his dreams inevitably didn't work out he'd fall into alcohol and anger until he found a new idea to latch onto. they moved from place to place, expending the hospitality of their neighbors until they were eventually forced out again. it was one neighbor in particular, an elderly man who sold oranges from a fold out chair in the street, that started developing jaehoon's love of stories. the man would talk to jaehoon for hours, telling him the most fascinating and exciting tales. when he introduced jaehoon to the library and an entire building of stories, jaehoon's young life was changed forever.

things took a turn from the better when, after a drunken bar fight landed him in the hospital, jaemin met oh inah. she was one of his nurses and she was charmed by his sweet smile and big plans. they dated briefly and married quickly and jaehoon found himself suddenly part of a complete family that came pre-built with an older brother and a mom. he had trouble trusting that the situation was permanent, but after a couple of years of patience and effort from both his step brother and inah, he found himself truly happy for the first time in his life.

it was only a matter of time before jaemin once more started concocting big plans that ended up in disaster. after convincing inah to put her life's savings into helping him purchase a run-down building he'd planned to fix up, the building ended up collapsing and the investment was greater than what he could sell the land for. they were broke. after a few months of vicious fighting, jaemin finally dipped leaving his son behind.

inah didn't for a second make jaehoon feel unwelcome or like a burden despite her new situation. she made it clear he was her son, no different from her oldest. she focused on making sure he was okay in the aftermath even as she found herself struggling to make ends meet. jaehoon got his first job as a delivery boy at fourteen years old to help out how he could.

they moved into a tiny one room apartment - the boys shared the bedroom and inah slept on the couch. she picked up extra shifts at the hospital and did what she could to make sure her kids didn't want for much. but they were both old enough to know what was happening and jaehoon did his very best to stay near the top of his class in school and have enough energy to bring in some extra money.

after he graduated secondary school, he got a job at kyobo book centre and really found a place he was comfortable. his plan was to save up some money, do his military service, and then come back and go to university so he could become a teacher. but life has a way of not working out quite right. inah found out she was pregnant when jaehoon was twenty one years old, and she gave birth to oh hana was born when he was twenty two. the birth had some complications and after a couple of days inah passed away.

naturally, jaehoon was distraught. but he and his brother had a kid to take care of so he didn't let himself linger in the feelings for long and threw himself into work. what was meant to be a job for a few years ended up becoming something more permanent and he worked his way up to management pretty quickly. since then, keeping up the store, taking care of hana, and working on his own creative projects have been the things keeping him going while he tries to figure out how he can climb out of the hole again.

(((bless u if u made it through that i didn't expect it to be so long)))

extras!!

jaehoon goes by jae by most people and hoonie only by family or family friends.

man loves to skate and skateboard. he'll cruise through the mall, audiobook playing in his ears just to relax a little bit after everything quiets down and customers disperse.

he's a writer (of course). he hasn't gotten brave enough to post any of his stuff yet, but he has volumes and volumes of notebooks and binders stuffed with poems, novels, short stories, and essays.

hana is basically his world she comes first before everything. he tries to keep her with a sitter when both he and his brother are working but sometimes funds don't allow for that and she ends up accompanying him on the job (she is very opinionated about new release picture books).

annotates the hell out of his books.

has major major trust issues but hides it with a dorky smile. he knows more about most people in his life than anybody knows about him.

looks like a punk, acts like puppy

favorites: rom coms, spring, tattoos, tea, spicy noodles, youtube documentaries, pranks

dislikes: spiders (he's repulsed), shrimp (he's allergic), violent storms (he's afraid), horror (he's doubly afraid), bullies (he's angry)

***if you're interested in bringing in another muse and would like to bring in his step brother lmk! i'm going to submit it as a wc on the main soon!

Yoo Joonghyuk: He/Him

Mod: He/They

Same mod as: @zak-is-lost and @dying-inhumane-disorder

Feel free to send asks!! Although Yoo Joonghyuk is 28, the mod is a minor and is uncomfortable with NSFW asks! Please refrain from sending NSFW asks.

Shipping is fine but no weird ships please (e.g: adult x child, incest, abuser x abused etc...)

Not really sure of timeline yet, lets say he was bored before he saw Kim Dokja haha...

Haven't read the novel yet (is planning too!) but is reading the webtoon, feedback would be great if some of the story or facts are wrong!!

I try to be in character but sometimes it's hard for me- so bear with me!! I probably won't be able to reply straight away but I'll try!

This blog was made for fun. Do not send hate through anon asks or anon asks will be turned off.

Have fun talking with Yoo Joonghyuk!!

got idea from @demonking-of-salvation!!

[ravs6709]

Orv madoka magica au in the brain. Thoughts are very scattered but

Still wanna keep the reader part. Reader kdj has read about magical girl yjh

But also. If kdj knows stuff then all those revelations that the magical girls all learn about kyubey don't have the same impact

And idk when kdj would become a magical girl if at the end or more middle

But like. Yjh's wish either being "I want to live" or more like 0th yjh where he wants to learn more about himself

Jhw's wish was to have the power to punish someone (like her intro arc)

Lhs probably to protect

Ysa at first thought is to like. Be able to save people but also I want there to be some kind of underlying selfish motive. Idk what though

Ljh would totally use her wish to revive na bori so therefore my thought is that both of them became magical girls but nbr dies super early

Hsy hears other people's wishes and goes all "thats a shitty waste of a wish". Similar to kyouko she constantly goes on about using powers only for yourself and trying to hog grief seeds

She has no memory of what her wish was

(Her wish was to write yjh's story to save kdj. Similar wonky timey stuff like canon)

It'd be yoohankim btw but like. Not necessarily romantic. But also I want them to kiss

[rusquared]

11, 8 and 6 for the three things asks!

thank u !! these r fun ones hehe

6. 3 characters that inspire you god i hate admitting how many orv characters come here... - yoo joonghyuk. (you are not a regressor because you regress...) - jang hayoung (write on that damn wall. she has every right to more of an existential crisis than yjh but remains so strong and determined) - yatora yaguchi (blue period) (he's my son. my child. literally never gives up on art. he decided it was his life's love and he dove headfirst into it...)

8. 3 tv shows that you never get bored of oh god... - the looney tunes show (2011) (i love this reboot and the adult humor and insanity. and it makes GREAT mindless watching when ur having a breakdown btw) - uramichi onii-san (he just like me fr...) - i truly have not watched tv in ages. ouran maybe? easy on the heart to rewatch

11. 3 books that you would recommend everyone to read :) - Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint - 전지적 독자 시점 - Jeon-ji-jeok Dokja Si-jeom a more serious list: - ORV. sorry. - The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons (v easy read and fun intro to some discoveries in neuroscience!) - The Emperor of all Maladies (not at all an easy read! a detailed historical account of humanity's battle against cancer and the successes and failures along the way. there WILL be sections where you get so mad at the doctors you have to put the book down :) )

3 things ask game!

[eyeswaitingfortuesdaynight]

omniscient reader's viewpoint liveblog day 3 💪 (chs. 7-11: ep. 2 - protagonist)

reading this on the subway train as the author intended. YJH INTRO TIME LET'S GOOOOOOO

the korean government must have scrambled those jets quickly!!!!! too bad it's monster food now

'It was my turn to be a clown.' - it's always your turn to be a clown, kdj

i genuinely don't think anyone else survived the train other than kdj's group and yjh. between culling everyone who made a fuss at first and the difficulty of deciding to take a life and acting on that decision.......1/30-50 probably isn't an unrealisitic number of survivors

lgy is truly the 10yo kdj stand in ........i feel so bad for the kid. i hope kdj can learn to love him as much as sys

i know there's at least two sponsorship selections....possibly a third one after the 7th scenario to account for the new incarnations, and maybe a fourth after the 10th scenario to account for the new incarnations that showed promise later? that makes the most sense to me

WHO WAS YSA'S SECOND POTENTIAL SPONSOR??? aughhhh i wanna knooooow

'I felt uncomfortable and excluded this guy.' - LOOOOOOOL oh god damn that's harsh. i'm sure kdj was nicer about it in the webtoon

does.....does uriel sponsor evil incarnations so she can force them to be nice? that is. so fucking funny. i love her.

the star stream trolling sp by giving him weak modifiers is also hilarious

i gotta say, kdj is great at dropping foreshadowing...takes like 100 chapters for the way of being strong without a constellation hint to come to fruition

if twsa had a fandom, there would 1000% be diehard yjh/lhs shippers by the way kdj describes lhs

it's actually Mino Soft in the novel???? nope. rejected. bad vibes, not as funny. not changing this now

lhs is also a reader......i love him...........also i need to take this into account in the future and contrast him with the other mentioned readers (kdj, ysa, hsy)

'Indeed, Confucianism was still strong in South Korea.' - KDJ AND HIS THOUGHT PROCESS IS INFURIATING AND HEARTBREAKING AUUUUGH. he can't understand why people would want to check up on his parents other than confucianism......

yjh doing his best to recreate the shining is never not funny. does he do this every turn????

i'd be curious to know the percentage of incarantions that survived the 1st scenario without killing a human. 1/100 maybe?

kdj is surprised by yjh's high strength this early...i wonder if that's FORESHADOWING.......

3 or 4 skills per beginner attribute is probably average, judging by lhs' profile and kdj's own attribute to skill ratio

kdj has a good way of describing the scene in as few words as possible (specifically, this description of the broken bridge). broad brushstrokes, as it were. i need to remember that.

'I was a bit surprised.' - also noting that kdj has started minimizing the description of his own emotions....he's probably feeling less overall tbh, with the 4th wall

...i guess demonic heads get reformed since i distinctly remember kdj describing knw's corpse as 'just a torso' earlier in this episode. pretty sure that was reflected in the webtoon too

'This couldn't be the exclusive skill of Han Myungoh, who had a big belly.' - this guy is as skinny as a rake in the webtoon WHERE IS HIS BELLYYYY

kdj is controlling his breathing again....but also telling himself to calm down .........it really is a habit

it took less than 5 minutes for kdj to get epically betrayed and abandoned lol

bookmark!!!! i wonder what the max level of understanding is.....

'Despite him being a hated figure, I couldn't help feeling strange emotions.' - 👀👀👀👀 interesting kdj states this when knw's last words were 'Don't want to die'

yjh just destroying zombies barehanded is. so great.

'The man destroyed all the demonic people threatening me and appeared in front of me. An overwhelming force without any weapons. He beat the demonic people with only two fists.' - YJH LITERALLY DESTROYED ALL THE ZOMBIES ON THE BRIDGE BAREHANDED I'M SIMPING SO HARD *swoons*

'His personality had worn out after going through regression three times. His principles were cut away in order to maintain his sense of self. The current Yoo Joonghyuk would never hesitate for the sake of his purpose.' - see, this is a much more nuanced and empathetic description than 'lost his humanity' in the webtoon translation. like killing people for your own purposes is not just as human a thing to do as choosing to save other people. it always struck me as a particularly harsh way to word yjh's personality change, esp. when yjh is kdj's blorbo and kdj knows how yjh got to this point.....i think the webtoon in general tries to flatten kdj's low and high points to make him more plateable for a wider audience, which i noticed when comparing scenes side by side for my fic. which is exactly why i prefer reading the source material of stories over any adaptation - things get lost in the medium translation even with the best adaptations.

kdj specifically calls yjh a professional gamer. which is good because i literally can't see yjh streaming to any audience pre-scenarios except maybe for contract-mandated team streams. he can't perform on command and doesn't give a shit about entertaining anyone except maybe his family. bad karoke aside lol

'I liked, hated, grumbled, and cheered Yoo Joonghyuk on. That's why I stuck with Yoo Joonghyuk for over 3,000 chapters.' - translation of this line in the webtoon is a bit more flowery, but i like this barebones description. it's charming how utiltarian kdj is with everything he describes, truly a reader to the core

'Yet Kim Namwoon died and the others survived.' - huh. i guess yjh saw them through the window....but shouldn't they have seen him through the window when he was kicking down the door? maybe he shattered the window after his first kick and made it hard to see through, especially if the window has wire mesh

'I started telling the story. I told the story using as much concise, short, and accurate vocabulary as possible.' - yup, that's how kdj tells stories. at least he's honest about this.

'His eyes changed and memories that seemed to belong to Yoo Joonghyuk crossed my mind.' - kdj get images along with people's thoughts if they're remembering something??? that's fascinating. tho it would be absolutely hilarious if this was a mousou telepathy situation (fic idea??)

'Due to the impact of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, I could feel Yoo Joonghyuk's mental pain and suffering.' - kdj gets feelings too ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. and yjh is feeling bad about killing everyone in his car even on his 3rd turn AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

'I have never seen a protagonist as careful as Yoo Joonghyuk.' - i'm simping too, kdj

augh reminder to myself to backtrack in proofreader and standardize the lie detection messages - the epub isn't consistent with the format of them. gonna have to check if the webtoon is consistent or not

like how kdj never says he's a seer and lets yjh completely misunderstand. peak trickster behaviour

yjh.... bringing himself to allow another seer to be his companion after the 2nd scenario.........repeating the word in his head...................i'm tearing up, i'm not even kidding rn

'Now Yoo Joonghyuk's face was as difficult as a philosophy book with no commentary written.' - i see kdj failed philosophy, just like me

'Yoo Joonghyuk was smiling brightly like something made him happy. Son of a bitch.' - W E E P I N G YJH IS HAPPY HE HAS A COMPANION THAT UNDERSTANDS HIM AND CAN HELP HIM i'm i'm 😭😭😭😭😭

'…Damn, I have to use that method after all.' - such a good cliffhanger ahhhhhh

[obitoslay]

yjh is so. meow meow so it’s really fun giving him dramatic intros like in canon bc ur perception of him gets shattered FAST

[tweetsongs]

i JUST remembered how jang hayong was literally a super hot girl written specifically for kdj based on his comments and yet they have zero romantic chemistry and she in fact calls him a ball of playdough at one point.

[leefi]

omg hiiiiiiiii

SHUT UPSJSWHUWAHAHAHHAHAHSVS SIR PLEASE DON'T CALL ME A SLUR

Haven't we seen the word regressor show up before in association with the Abyssal Dragon, though? Like, if you tap into that sponsor's power too much, you begin to lose facets of your personality and turn into a bloodthirsty psychopath? Sort of like a corruption factor. Though regression implies returning to a former state, not corrupting...which is slightly different...

1) gayboys

2) Yes kdj is being a cocky bastard but it is 10000% his right. Do you see how extremely online people in fandom act like they own sole proprietorship of a character? This guy was the ONLY READER.

genuinely heartwarming how the male ego persists throughout any medium ❤️

kdj you are so so so fucking smart. but i am begging you to factor just an ounce of self-preservation into your actions

Mono No Aware

(Part Two)

Intro - One - Two

Mono No Aware, ‘the pathos of things’, a melancholic appreciation of the transiency of existence. That fleeting moment when you realized that something you love is bound to  disappear. Like life.

pairing : grim reaper! Yuta Nakamoto x female doctor! Reader

chapter word count : 0.9k words

chapter genre : angst (?)

chapter warning : mention of death, mention of cigarette, mention of alcohol

The moment a stretcher was pushed inside the emergency room, Y/N was quick on her feet and asking the medics what happened. A heart attack. And it looks bad. 

She tried locating for any signs of life, a sharp intake of breath, or even a pulse. "Defibrillator, stat." she ordered a resident. She started pumping on his chest, trying to revive him, but still no breathing. 

When the apparatus came, the female doctor was sweating hard while panting heavily. "Y/N." Doyoung, another doctor, called. "He's gone." 

"He's not." The way she pumped his chest became too desperate. She just wanted to save him. She needed to save him. 

The machine showed a flatline and Doyoung shook his head. "Time of death…" But the girl stared at him, teary-eyed. "5:07 PM." She bit her lip, trying very hard to stop the tears from falling.

This is the second patient today. 

First, a young girl from a traffic accident. 

Then this, an old man with a heart attack. 

Why is this job so heartbreaking? 

-----

Y/N was just seated on the bench at the hospital rooftop, an unlit cigarette hanging from her mouth. She just wanted to divert her mind into something and this stick is just perfect for the job.  "You shouldn't smoke here. You're even wearing your lab gown." Doyoung said, handing her a coffee in a styro cup. 

"I'm not even lighting it." She revolted. She threw it on the trash can nearby, pouting. Maybe she'll just crush the styro cup after use. 

Doyoung breathed heavily. "You know it's not your fault, right? He's already lifeless when he came into the ER." 

"But I should have done something to save him." Her mind drifted to the old man earlier. "To save her." Then to the younger girl from earlier in the day. "To save them." 

A sigh escaped his lips. "Y/N, we're still human. We can only do as much." He placed a hand on her head, lightly tapping it. "Don't think so much about it. You're doing well." He gently raked his fingers on her head that made her bow, hiding the tears forming on her eyes. "Are you on call tonight?" 

She shook her head, even claiming that she has her day off tomorrow. "Then we'll drink tonight, hmm? I'll meet you in the emergency room parking at nine." She was about to revolt when he shook his head, "No ifs, no buts Y/N. You deserve it after this whole day."  

If there is one person that Y/N can lean on, that would be Doyoung. They’ve been friends since high school and he was the one who inspired her to be a doctor, with him. 

If not for her parents passing early, she wouldn’t be here. Her heart cannot even take looking at dead bodies anymore but she promised them that she’ll be a doctor and take care of them. Now, she can’t even fulfill the latter but at least she’s now a doctor. 

One of her promises was fulfilled. 

She just wished that they’re here to see her. 

Doyoung didn’t ask about her. He knew that she hated that. That she’s trying to stay away from the subject. So he did everything to fill the silence with stories of his girlfriend that only made Y/N laugh. 

Seriously, how can Doyoung find time in dating when they are always busy in the hospital? Must take for a very patient woman to do it. She can’t even think of dating in her state. 

She refused her friend’s invitation to drive her home, even claiming that she can take a bus. She’s not even drunk, just tipsy and she can even walk straight. “Just call me. I’m just in the hospital.” Another thing is that Doyoung was asked to get back to the hospital for an emergency. 

“Aren’t you drunk?” 

“Y/N, I didn’t even drink. Pay attention.” The girl only chuckled. “Call me. Whatever happens, call me.” She nodded before shooing away the guy. Maybe she’ll just walk home today and calm herself up. 

The streets weren’t even that crowded that she walked slowly to take in the warm breeze. Maybe it was because she's always holed up in the hospital that she hasn't noticed the flowers blooming already. It's almost Spring. 

She was waiting at the crossroad with a middle-aged man to cross the street. A cold breeze welcomed her as the lights turned green for the pedestrian. She crossed the street in light steps, letting the man walk ahead when he stopped on his tracks and just fell on the ground. As instinct, she quickly ran to him to check his pulse and breath. None. 

A man in her age passed by them but she quickly held his wrist. "Please help me, call an ambulance." She said while tying her hair in a ponytail and placed both hands on the older's chest to pump his chest. 

"Stop it. He's dead." The younger man said in a cold voice staring at something which confused her. Where is he looking at? "You'll just waste your effort saving him." 

'Stop it, Y/N. You'll just waste your effort saving your parents.' 

Tears started springing in her eyes. 

'Y/N, he's gone.' 

'Time of death…'

No, not again. Not another one. 

"No!" she cried, desperate to help the old man. "I can save him. Call an ambulance please." 

With a sigh, she heard a voice, "An ambulance, please. Hurry."

Precure Day 133

Episode: Futari wa Precure Splash Star 35 - “The FInal Round is Here! Fight, Nagi Jr. High Softball Team!” Date watched: 17 June 2019 Original air date: 8 October 2006 Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/6r2R12Q Project info and master list of posts: http://tinyurl.com/PCDabout

Now that’s an epic game turnaround

It’s a sports tournament episode. You’ve seen this a dozen times in shows and movies from all over the world. This story is pretty universal. So how does Splash Star manage to make it resonant? Very carefully. Obviously, after 35 episodes, we’re invested in Saki and her friends, and want to see them succeed. They don’t waste time getting to the game, either, we jump right into it after the cold open and intro. And right off the bat (no pun intended), and similar to something Max Heart did once or twice, we see that their opponents are every bit as competent, because they get a run on YJH immediately.

Saki takes it personally because she’s the pitcher, but the captain, Izumida (who may have appeared before but has never been named) tells her to brush it off. They manage to get a triple out on the opposing team (see video) and Izumida takes a minute to further encourage Saki to relax and just play her best.

They proceed to the seventh and final inning with a score of 1-0, neither team giving an inch, and in the top of the inning they keep Ohnami Academy from scoring, so all Yuunagi has to do is score 2 runs in their at bat to win the game. Unfortunately, after Izumida makes it to first base, the next two batters strike out. Saki steps up to bat but gets two strikes. The pressure and tension at this point are off the charts, but she hits the third ball and starts running. Time slows down as she hits first base, thinking they’ve finally managed to turn the game around, but as she rounds the corner to run for second she sees Izumida just standing there between the bases, looking to the outfield, and she sees that the centerfielder has caught the ball, getting an out on Yuunagi and ending the game.

Yes, that’s right, after all this investment, you’re expecting a come-from-behind victory but instead they actually had the main characters lose their final game! How often does that happen? It’s a bold storytelling move and I love it. Sometimes you can try your hardest and still lose, whether due to personal blunder or just because your opponent was better than you. As Picard said: “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life.” (I’m not a Trekkie but that’s a good line)

Saki is distraught, because she was fighting her hardest to win for all the graduating seniors in their last game, but Izumida is happy that they had a great game, and tells her that even if they lost, there was still meaning and value in the match, a measure of her maturity. However, Kintolesky was in the audience, and he has other ideas. He finds Saki moping with Mai on the dugout bench after everyone else has left, and while he apologizes for intruding on their moment of weakness, he grills her for what he feels is a naive belief that there is meaning in losing. Saki gets mad at the insult, not towards her, but towards the upperclassmen she fought so hard for, and when they transform into Bloom and Egret she chews him out. Kintolesky is unmoved, and uses a liquid metal Uzainaa to thrash the girls about in an honestly impressive fight.

Bloom continues to retaliate against his reductive values, spouting the importance of setting high goals and doing your all to reach them. Progress of any kind is a plus! Kintolesky just doesn’t get it and he charges the girls himself, but Moop and Foop release the Spiral Rings, and Bloom and Egret use Spiral Heart Splash to destroy the Uzainaa. Kintolesky tries to block it but he realizes he can’t hold it back and retreats, honestly admitting that today was his loss and there’s no excuses to be made.

Afterwards, Saki heads off for the bus to return to school (why has it been sitting there for hours, it’s dusk now and it was broad daylight when the game finished), but she decides that to prepare the team for next year they should all run back to school instead! Izumida likes this idea and has them do it, and we close on this lovely shot of the team.

I think the biggest flaw of this otherwise fantastic episode is that we’ve never met Izumida before. In FWPC, we met the lacrosse team captain Yumiko on multiple occasions. Even if she wasn’t very prominent, she was established and named. I can’t recall Izumida appearing before this, certainly not named. I suppose this is related to the lacrosse team not having an apparent coach so the captain was more prominent, while Ms. Shinohara takes the mentor role in this season. Anyway, while I respect Saki’s conviction to win the game for Izumida and the other seniors, it would have meant more to me if we were also invested in Izumida herself.

I suppose I also have to criticize Saki’s specific motivation. She feels that she is letting down the graduating seniors at YJH by losing the championship game. But the other school also has graduating seniors who have also worked hard to get to this championship game, and also want to score a victory. They aren’t villains, it’s is a sport, and there will always be winners and losers. Someone has to lose. In this case, it was YJH. I’m not trying to “both sides” this too hard but I think Saki is investing too much into the idea of winning for the sake of her team rather than trying her absolute best to have a good game between opponents who have proved their strength by making it this far. (That sounds like something Kintolesky would say) It’s a lesson Nagisa actually figured out in the latter half of Max Heart.

How about some easter eggs? They seem to have reused a background from FW/MH because in several shots you can see students in the Verone uniforms.

There’s also a lot of reused animation in this episode, from within the same episode but probably also other softball eps. I haven’t paid close enough attention to the various shots used throughout the show, but in this episode I saw repeat pitches, swings, and running to bases. Sometimes they mirrored the shot to cover up the recycling. Also there’s only one still frame of the opposing school’s students cheering that they use two or three times.

What new animation there is for the softball games is average to low quality. The overhead shots are bereft of detail, making it hard to figure out what’s going on. The close-ups are fine. They seem to have put most of the budget into that fight with Kintolesky and the uzainaa, which is really dynamic and fluid. There are some wonderful facial expressions in this one, so be sure to check the gallery.

On the music side there’s extensive use of Saki’s march theme, which is normal for softball episodes. It really gets you in the mood.

On the whole it’s a good episode that could have been improved slightly in a few areas, but it bucks the trend of having the protagonist’s team win their championship and I appreciate that a lot. Next time, Mai is under a lot of stress from her peers and I’ve got some things to say about that. Look forward to it!

Pink Precure Catchphrase Count: well there was a “Zekkouchou nani” (”I thought I was in top form”) by Saki, and a “You’re in Top Form” by a teammate, so I’ll count it collectively as one even though she never explicitly said “Zekkouchou nari!”

Mono No Aware, ‘the pathos of things’, a melancholic appreciation of the transiency of existence. That fleeting moment when you realized that something you love is bound to  disappear. Like life.

pairing : grim reaper! Yuta Nakamoto x female doctor! Reader

chapter word count : 1.7k words

chapter genre : fluff, angst

chapter warning : blood, death, cursing, knife

It's been days since Y/N had found out about the grim reaper. Often described as a skeleton in a black hood with a scythe. The personification of death. 

"I don't take souls. I guide them." Those words kept repeating in her mind. Guide them where? Can he do something to stop them from dying? How did he even become a grim reaper? There's a lot of questions she wanted to ask him. Will it be possible to see him again? 

The question was answered when the medics rushed a pregnant woman inside the emergency room. "Inform the Obstetrics department." She told one nurse as she checked the pupils of the woman, no response. "Call Doctor Kim." She told another nurse as she checked the woman's nerves and pulse rate. It's there but weak. 

When Doyoung came to the emergency room, she narrated her observations and he just nodded. He instructed that they will operate on her first before removing the baby. "I'll handle this." Y/N nodded, walking out of the emergency room when she saw him. 

Her first instinct was to glance at the nurses coming in the doors who didn't pay attention to the man. He's here for her soul. "Who?" she asked quietly. 

"Both of them." Her eyes widened in surprise. She cannot let that happen. 

Y/N returned to the emergency room that surprised Doyoung. "Call the Obstetrics Department. Save the baby first." The other doctor called for her but she shook her head. "Doyoung, please." He sighed before nodding that made the nurse run outside. 

The girl heaved a sigh, walking away from the emergency room once again and spotting the grim reaper leaning by the wall. She stood beside him, leaning on the same wall. "Why aren't you inside?" 

"This is not my surgery." She whispered, careful not to attract any attention to her. She bit her thumb as the OB doctor came into the Emergency Room, "I hope they'll be safe." Her phone vibrated, a beep from another patient asking for a doctor's help. "I'll come back. Please, whatever happens, don't leave yet. Wait for me." The guy nodded and she rushed out of the emergency room to attend to another patient. 

Why is this so difficult? She knew they'll both die yet she's powerless. She can't even do anything to save them. Is this how that man feels every time he's meeting a soul? And yet, there are a lot of people on the verge of dying. She can't get too distracted with just a simple case. 

She was transferred from one patient to another, even the head doctor asked for a meeting with her that when she returned to the emergency room, the operation was still ongoing. To her surprise, he was still leaning on the same spot with a glum look on his face. "What happened?" 

"You did well." What? "I have a soul to guide." They died? Then what did she do well? 

And he was gone before she could ask anything. 

The emergency doors opened and an incubator was brought out by the nurse with a tiny person inside. The baby looks alive. What does that mean? Doyoung came out of the operating room, shaking his head. A gasp escaped her throat. Why is she so surprised? She saw this coming.

He squeezed her shoulder in a comforting hold, "But you saved the baby, Y/N." Is that what he meant when he said that she did well? "You did well." 

No, she didn't. She wanted to do better, wanted to do the best. Doing well doesn't save lives, it kills people. 

And she knew, she needed to do her best. 

The coffee shop seemed different now, she's now nervous heading inside unlike other times when she just casually wanted some coffee. The guy manning the counter called for the barista who turned to her. He gave a small smile, before asking the other to switch places. "Hi." He greeted and she smiled timidly. "What are you going to have today?" 

Y/N lightly glanced at the menu but nothing registers in her mind. "What can you suggest? Probably something sweet." 

"Iced Caramel Macchiato?" She nodded and he took a large cup which made her revolt. "It's fine. It's on the house, you might really need it." She thanked him with a smile. "I'll deliver your drink, Barbara Gordon." Y/N grinned. Batgirl. 

She was playing with the napkin on the table when the guy handed her the cup of coffee and a pastry. "I didn't…" 

"It's a lemon cheesecake. It will balance the sweetness of the coffee. It's on me, don't worry." She gave him a timid smile, thanking him silently. "You look bad." Unconsciously, she held her cheeks. Does she? Is it that bad? "Day off?"

She nodded as he sat on the chair opposite her. "Did you send her off well?" 

The guy nodded. "She wanted to thank you for saving her baby." She does? "Is the baby a boy or a girl?" 

"A girl. The dad would always say that she looks exactly like her." He nodded, smiling at her. He has a nice smile. Heartwarming. Unlike the things he does. 

She sipped on her coffee and took a bite of the cheesecake, which she had to note tastes great, just to prevent her mouth from saying the words she wanted to say. He doesn't need to know that. She cannot let him know that. 

But the way he was staring at her made her mind feel at ease. He looks tired. How long has he been a grim reaper? Did he send a lot of souls away? "It must be hard for you seeing souls like that." There. She said it. "Knowing they'll die but you cannot do anything. I thought my job is hard but yours is just…" she stopped to look for the right word but there's only one thing she can think of now. "heartbreaking." 

"I'm used to it by now but that's true, it feels heartbreaking when you can't do anything." He said, crossing his arms while leaning on the chair. "Watching them die makes you feel…"

"Powerless." They both said at the same time. 

She can't believe that she'll feel deep empathy with a grim reaper. They're supposed to be scary but he's different. He feels hopeless, like her.

He leaned closer, elbows on top of the table. "Then let's do this, let's help each other." She raised an eyebrow at that. Help each other? "I can tell you which person is dying and you can help that person. Like what you did to that boy and the baby." 

That seems plausible. They can do that. They had done it before. But what about him? Will nothing happen to him because of this? "Will you be alright though? Your job is to guide them to the afterlife." 

A different expression was shown on his face, his eyes dilated as a soft smile formed on his lips. "I guess I'll have more paperwork. But it's worth it if we can save a person." He claimed. "You'll lessen my job." 

"And you'll lessen my guilt," Y/N whispered, nodding. There's no better way to do it but like this. Maybe they're really meant to meet. "I guess I'm going to work with a grim reaper." 

The guy laughed. A wonderful sound. Like music in her ears. "It's an honor working with you, Miss Doctor." He lent a hand for her to shake. "I'm Yuta, what's your name?" 

She raised an eyebrow at that but shook his hand, nevertheless. "Isn't it bad to give your name to a grim reaper?"

Yuta smiled, nodding at her. "Smart." 

"So how do we do this?" She asked curiously, taking a bite of the cheesecake. He gestured at the teenage girl in her uniform, seated on the corner table. "What about her?" 

"She's been ordering the same Chocolate Frappuccino for days now." She nodded, listening attentively. "When I gave her the order today, it just felt weird. Like something bad will happen." 

Y/N lightly glanced at the girl. There's nothing peculiar about her, she seemed like a normal high school girl. So what might happen to her? And is she really going to die? She's too young. A sigh escaped her lips and she pouted when she returned to her drink, sipping a lot of her coffee. Why do people have to die?

The chimes of the door can be heard as people came inside the door. "I'll return to my job. I'll let you know if something happens." 

She transferred to the seat Yuta was earlier just to spy on the high school girl, making the guy shake his head. It was afternoon when the girl fixed her things and stood up that made Y/N follow her. She was about to go out the door when someone held her wrist, “What are you doing?” Yuta asked. “Are you seriously following her?” 

Y/N nodded. She needed to save her. “You’ll know where to find us, right?” And she was out of the door. Good thing the younger isn’t too far from the shop and she followed her quietly. Everything was fine. She seemed like a typical high school girl going to bookstores and stationery shops or stopping by cute boutiques to stare at the window display. Is Yuta playing with her? Or is it not happening now? 

The girl gave a sharp turn as she casually passed the small alleyway. There were guys, probably two or three, standing on the narrow street. Will it happen here? “Let go of me!” She heard a female voice followed by an echo of maniacal laughter. “Don’t hurt me, please.” 

She doesn’t need medical attention. She needed someone to save her. A superhero. 

Batgirl. Today, she’s batgirl. 

And with a heavy breath, she appeared in front of the guys. “Let go of her!” Where is this confidence coming from? “I’m going to call the cops.” Her eyes widened seeing one guy holding a pocket knife. She’ll get stabbed? A police siren can be heard that startled her, she never called anyone. 

“Nosy brat!” One of the guys claimed from behind her that shocked her. And she felt stinging on her side followed by blood staining her pastel blue shirt. “Unnie!” The high school girl called as she fell to the ground. 

She’s safe, that’s great. 

But fuck, it hurts. 

Maybe that was the reason why she can see the grim reaper. This is her death.

Mono no Aware

(Chapter Nine)

Intro - One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight - Nine

Mono No Aware, ‘the pathos of things’, a melancholic appreciation of the transiency of existence. That fleeting moment when you realized that something you love is bound to  disappear. Like life.

pairing : grim reaper! Yuta Nakamoto x female doctor! Reader

chapter word count : 1.3k words

chapter genre : fluff, angst

chapter warning : death, cursing, suicide, poison

Yuta hated the look on her face when he last saw her. But he needed to keep her safe or bad things might happen to her. Johnny warned him of this before but he didn't listen, the yearning to stay with her much bigger than the want to keep her safe. In contrast to what he did in the past. 

Besides, it was him who killed her. All he wanted back then was to save the princess, to save her. In the end, it was him who brought her death. 

Yuta is scared that it might happen again. Her safety is more important now. He should stop seeing her.

But the divine being had been playing jokes on him when it brought him to the hospital where she works. He saw how she stopped in her tracks then sighed upon seeing him. She's going to cry again. He's sure of that. 

The moment the soul exited the emergency room, Yuta sighed and asked him to just follow him. He needed to finish his work early. Yuta handed him the drink and when the man's soul disappeared, he immediately drove his motorbike back to the hospital. 

"Hi." he greeted the nurse in the lobby. "Have you seen Dr. Y/N?" The other nurses look at him in awe, some whispering that he's handsome and that he might be the doctor's boyfriend. One nurse claimed that he saw her going to the rooftop and he smiled, thanking him before heading to where he said she is. 

He searched for her among the crowd until he reached a mini-garden and found her crouched down behind the flower bed, shoulders heaving up and down. She's crying. Hesitant, he reached for her hair. That silky hair that his fingers can remember. He thought the reason was that she is a princess but now he realized, it was because she's Y/N. 

"Leave me alone, Doyoung." She whispered and Yuta felt betrayed. But then, he was the one who told her not to come near him. Why is he even here? Johnny will just get mad at him. "I hate how everyone dies and just leaves us."

"They don't." She stared at him in surprise, her eyes glistening because of the tears. She's so beautiful. "A pretty princess once told me that the stars are the souls of those who die." He wiped her tears with his thumb. "And that cherry blossoms are the blood of the dead. They never left us. They're always here with us." 

Maybe she just needed someone to comfort her that her arms wrapped around him, crying in his embrace. Yuta was seated on the rooftop floor, the weeping girl in his arms. And he never wished to be somewhere else this moment. "You're doing so well, Y/N." He threaded his fingers on her hair, "You're doing your best. It's not your fault that they're dying, it's destiny." Yuta whispered. "I wish one day this will stop hurting you." 

"I don't want to see you hurt, Y/N." 

----

The coffee shop looks different in dim light now that it's close and there's only the two of them inside. Yuta made her a macchiato and the lemon cheesecake. She calls it the heavenly combination that made him chuckle at how cute she's being. 

"Thank you for the hydrangeas." She said, rubbing the rim of her cup. 

"Jungwoo said that it's better to give them. I'm glad Johnny delivered them well." She nodded at that. "Did he tell you something?" 

Y/N took a bite of the lemon cake then drank her macchiato. "Some things." She whispered. He kept his gaze on her. Nothing changed. It's still her. The princess he fell in love with. The doctor who saved that boy and cried for the old lady she doesn't even know. Y/N who got hurt because of him. "I still have a lot of questions, though." 

Yuta nodded. He's sure of that. He has a lot of questions himself. A light glance on the watch above the table and he nodded. "How did you become a grim reaper?" 

He shrugged. "Johnny said it's a punishment for our sins. Because of the blood in our hands…" 

"Does this mean I'll be a grim reaper when I die?" She asked innocently then stared at him. "Wait, did you die?" Again, Yuta shrugged. He isn't sure. He can't remember that. "You said something about a princess, do you remember your past life?" 

He was startled. Should he let her know that she is that princess? 

Instead, Yuta nodded. "A swordsman. I worked for the rebels and killed people, especially in the monarchy. I was tasked to kill the king…" His gaze fell on her who was just staring at him as well. Her eyes were glistening in the dim lights, the image of the princess appearing in his eyes. The princess he loved. "But I killed the girl I love." 

A sharp gasp escaped her lips. "So it isn't really a dream?" Y/N said more to herself. "I saw you. The black robe, the riverbed, the white bracelet." Yuta's eyes widened in surprise. She knew? "You were holding me in your arms."

Why would she dream of that? Is she really the princess? Then why does she have to appear in front of him now? "Yuta, I think this is the reason why I can see you." 

He gave her a confused look before she continued, "We're connected. And I think I'm the key for you to get out of this grim reaper business." 

That was logical. The past and the present always have a connection and what she said makes sense. Is she truly his ticket to get out of this? What would happen to her if he forced that idea? This is the first time this happened in a long time he had been a grim reaper. It scared him and excited him at the same time.  But how? 

Instead of decreasing, his questions just got deeper confusing him.   

---- 

He leaned on his motorbike, watching his wristwatch turn bright red. A male soul. He wondered how old he is. 

A soul, probably in his late forties, went outside the door smiling at him. He was all clad in black, "I was waiting for you, Mr. Grim Reaper." He was expecting him? Yuta's eyes gazed at the familiar wristwatch on his wrist. He's also a grim reaper? How?

The younger was wary at how to ask him things. How did he die? He's a grim reaper. “It might still be hard but you’ll get out of it soon.” 

“How?” 

“The connection of your past and present.” So what Y/N said might be true. She might really be his ticket out of here. “The reason why you cheat your death to become a grim reaper.” Cheat his death? The older man smiled. “We did bad things in the past but we didn’t pay for it so the divine being is punishing us. We cheat death by killing ourselves.” 

He became a grim reaper because he killed himself? “Remember that the divine being only wants to protect you.” He drank the coffee in front of him before smiling at him. “They're always watching you and your reason.” Then he disappeared. 

His head throb that instant, the same stinging pain as before. All he could see is a small light from the moon, illuminating a body in front of him. He touched his bracelet, tears falling to the white bead. “I’m sorry, Y/N.” He whispered while removing the bracelet and placing it above her dead body. 

“Please forgive me.” Every word feels poison in his tongue. Raindrops started falling, hiding the tears in his eyes. “I’ll see you soon,” Yuta mumbled as his eyes gazed on the small bottle with dark liquid. “I love you, Y/N.” 

A coffee cup fell that snapped him back to his senses. The brewed coffee looking exactly like the poison he drank. Is that why he’s offering coffee to souls? 

He really did cheat his way in death. All because of her. His reason. Then Y/N is indeed his ticket out of here.

Posting early because I will be gone for the whole day. Two more chapters left and I’m still thinking if I’m in the right track for the ending or not.  I’ll upload chapter ten on Wednesday then the final chapter on Friday so I can finish the series this week.

Anyways, I would like to express my deep gratitude for the ten people who were still reading this. I honestly wanted to give up this series but thank you @a-bts-world​ for always commenting on every chapter and waiting for the upload. Thank you for giving me the motivation to continue this. 😄
