Okay I finally got this drawing right

Just an effortless drawing

[todayintokyo]

Hi there! Hope you’re well and not melting away in the humidity. I am super excited to be planning a trip to Japan again after almost four years away. Considering I lived 1) in Kansai-ish territory and 2) near Nagoya, I never got much chance to explore Tokyo outside of the usual tourist places. I already have Jinbocho on my list (along with one of the Aoyama flower market tea houses and Nakano Broadway)— do you have any suggestions for what’s fun in Tokyo for someone who is a little more experienced with the area?

Welcome back!

Now here's a challenge! I don’t know whether you're looking for new & trendy, or old & traditional, and a lot depends on the season, but…

1) Stroll from Ueno Park or Nezu to Yanaka and Sendagi. See if you can find Snake Street and follow its curves. Yanaka is as Kyoto as Tokyo gets. Yanaka and Kagurazaka.

2) Shibamata for more old Edo vibes. Cross the river on the ferry. Only ferry in Tokyo.

3) Sunamachi Ginza Shopping District in Koto-ku: another old area that's being transformed by gentrification.

4) Get lost in Shibuya Station, just for fun, but take tranquilizers with you. Walk from Shibuya via Shoto to Yoyogi Park. Shoto is one of the wealthiest areas in Tokyo, but it's not as famous as, say, Azabu-Juban or Denenchofu. Stop at Levain for bread and Fuglen for coffee.

5) Explore the swanky, hipsterish areas of Kichijōji, Shimokitazawa, Daikanyama. Take the Setagaya Tram Line from Sangenjaya to Gotokuji and visit the temple birthplace of the famous maneki-neko. Lots of tiny shops and quaint shopping streets in a relatively upmarket area along the way.

6) Okutama. Walk along the Mitake Valley Riverside Trail, from Ikusabata to Sawai, stop for sake at the Sawanoi Sake Brewery, visit the Gyokudo Museum. You can continue past Mitake to the Okutama Fishing Centre. If you are here in autumn, you'll see breathtaking autumn colours.

7) Yokohama! Not exactly Tokyo, but a nice day trip. Minato-Mirai, Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery (no, seriously, Google it), Sankeien Gardens.

I'm not a food expert, but there are really nice restaurants in all these areas. Add Yakitori Alley in Yurakucho to your list: great atmosphere. (There's a maze under the tracks between Yurakucho and Shimbashi. Well worth a visit, but it gets a bit dystopian.) Museums? Fukagawa Edo Museum in Kiyosumi, all the art museums in Ueno Park. Plants 'n stuff? Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome. Shinjuku Gyoen remains my favourite Tokyo park/garden.

It's very touristy, but so iconic that it's really worth it: New York Bar and Grill in the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Expensive though. Cocktail Works is a craft gin bar in Kanda (close to Jimbocho), and a very good alternative (but without the glorious view) (which is the whole point) (actually).

Oh, by the way, Piss Alley in Shinjuku? So yesterday. Try Sankaku Chitai in Sangenjaya or Nogecho in Yokohama instead. Shh, don't tell anyone.

Best free and still relatively uncrowded view of skyline: Bunkyo Civic Center observation lounge. Shh again.

Would this suffice? If you send more details about your timing and what you're interested in, I'll happily add more.

Enjoy the planning as much as the trip! 😊

9! 12! 14!

Thank you so much! Gonna have me out here making my brain do some serious creative work and I can’t wait to see how it turns out! Since there wasn’t anyone specified to go with the prompts, I’m going to write for each ship. I’ll give each one a prompt! And I am so sorry that it took me a million years to finally get to this. You probably forgot you even sent this ask in the first place!

And since it has been ages, here is the prompt list that the ask originally came from!

So yes, this is just all selfship stuff. And yes, it's about established relationships. And yes, that also means that there's quite possibly pet names being used and things of that nature in this. And it's long since it's about 3 separate selfships.

9. Write about your ship getting dressed up in fancy outfits together. — Tessigami

Kunigami was complaining for what felt like the hundredth time about having to put on a tuxedo for this event. It was a big night for him though as he receiving an award for some charity work he had been doing over the last year.

When he had told me about it I had been so proud of him but Kunigami had just commented that at least it meant he would get to see me all dressed up for him because there was no way that he was attending without me.

When the day arrived, I had forced my boyfriend into a spa day with me which had concluded with a couple's massage. The point had been to relax the pro footballer before that evening's event but it must not have worked because by the time we had to get ready, well, he seemed to be wound tighter than he had been that morning after his early morning workout.

Kunigami was waiting in the living room of our shared home, grumbling under his breath as he tugged on the bowtie he wore. Finally he called out to me as I finished getting ready in our bedroom.

"C'mon, Tess. What's taking you so long?"

I could hear the way he was whining softly and I laughed as I smoothed my hands down the front of the silvery blue dress I had picked out for the occasion. I took one last look in the mirror before I called out to him over my shoulder. "Someone needs to learn some patience."

"You want to see impatient? Keep making me wait and I'll show you ... holy shit."

I laughed as I saw Kunigami's jaw drop as I stepped out of the bedroom, the strappy heels meant to go with my dress dangling from my fingers. "You'll show me what now? I don't think I heard you."

He stepped closer, his auburn eyes shining as he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me off of my feet. He was smiling devilishly as he pulled me in close. "I think we should absolutely skip this event. There's clearly no reason for us to be ..."

I placed my index finger on his lips to quiet him, laughing when I saw his eyes widen as he looked at me now. "You're going to set me back on my feet. I'm going to put these ridiculous shoes on. Then we're going to go enjoy our night out."

Kunigami nodded slowly as he started to set me back on my feet again. "If you say so, beautiful." He kept his hands on my hips for the moment, not wanting to let me go right away.

"And if you behave yourself, I'll let you have your way with me once we get home."

That devilish smile was back on his lips as he nodded, leading me toward the door. "Let me help you with those shoes then so we can get going."

12. Write about your ship going somewhere new together for the first time. — Tesshiro

Taishiro was so nervous, his palm sweating a bit as he held my hand. I looked over at him with a soft smile, nudging him with my hip before squeezing his hand gently. We were on a little Tokyo trip together and Taishiro had promised that he had a surprise for me, a place that he had planned to take me that he knew I would enjoy.

We were standing in front of the Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome with Taishiro looking down at me. His lips were in a tight smile as he awaited my reaction. I looked up at him, grinning. Seeing my excitement, he relaxed slightly. He let out a soft breath as I giggled softly.

"This is the surprise?"

Taishiro nodded with a shy smile. "Do you like it? I thought you might like it." The words came out in a bit of a rush, his cheeks flushing when I giggled at him. "Because of your quirk ..."

"Yeah, I figured." I started pulling him toward the entrance excitedly. "I've read about the place before. I've always wanted to come here."

"Oh yeah?" Taishiro's chest puffed up with pride. He had only decided on the greenhouse domes because he knew that I liked going to parks and botanical gardens. He also knew that I had never been there and neither had he. It seemed like a fun place for us to explore together.

"Mmhmm." I nodded, already digging through my bag so I could pay for our admission. I was already paying by the time Taishiro realized what was happening. I looked up to see him pouting down at me as I let out a soft sigh. "Don't give me that look. You ... you can buy us lunch afterwards. Or ... or buy me something in the gift shop."

Taishiro still looked a bit like a pouty child as we walked inside, hand in hand. "Fine, I guess."

I giggled and crooked my finger at him, getting him to lean down toward me. I kissed the corner of his mouth gently with a wide grin. "You're going to spoil me after this, aren't you?"

Taishiro's cheeks were dusted with a pale pink as he shrugged. "Probably. You deserve it." He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles softly. "I've got my phone all ready to take so many pictures of you too, cupcake."

It was my turn to blush now, my face a darker pink than his as I shyly tucked some hair behind my ear. "If you say so."

14. Write about your ship celebrating one of the members birthdays. — Tessirei

I blinked slowly as the scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. With a yawn and a stretch, I sat up in bed only to be greeted by Reiner. He was sitting at the foot of the bed with a tray on his lap and a soft smile on his face.

"It's not as good as your blueberry pancakes but I thought I'd bring you breakfast since it's your special day," he said as he turned to place the tray on my lap. "Happy birthday, angel."

A plate of scrambled eggs and bacon with a small bowl of strawberries and whipped cream are placed before me and I couldn't help but grin. I looked up at Reiner and crook my finger. Bashfully, he leaned in closer so I could softly kiss him in thanks.

"Please tell me the kitchen isn't a mess," I teased before picking up my fork.

Reiner stole one of the strawberries and shook his head. "It's not. Well I still have to put the dishes in the dishwasher and take out the trash anyway," he said before taking a large bite out of the strawberry, nearly finishing it in one bite.

"Then I guess I need to eat fast."

"Please don't. I want you to enjoy your breakfast after all. When you're done, there's a gift waiting for you on the dresser." He stood up and with a cheeky grin, Reiner stole another strawberry. He left the bedroom as he hummed 'happy birthday', chuckling to himself.

I ate quickly, curiosity getting the better of me. I set the tray down at the foot of the bed and hurried over to dresser to find a long box wrapped in pastel blue wrapping paper. I opened it carefully to find a dress. I quickly changed and brought the tray into the kitchen where I found Reiner waiting.

"It fits perfectly." I grinned when Reiner looked up with a faint blush on his cheeks as he nodded his head. "Thank you, Rei."

He quickly took the tray from me and nodded to the table. "Let me get this stuff in the dishwasher and we can go."

I sat down with my brows furrowed slightly. "Go where exactly?"

Reiner had his back to me, working diligently on filling the dishwasher as he spoke. "So I was thinking we go to the natural history museum first. We can grab lunch at the little cafe in there. Then we can go to the botanical garden before we meet everyone for dinner at that Italian restaurant you like so much."

"Sounds like a long day."

Reiner turned around with a grin, holding out his hand for me. "Well when we get home, I promise to take my time with you. So are you ready, birthday girl?"

I slipped my hand in his with a wide smile, nodding as I feel Reiner lace his fingers with mine. "That sounds perfect."

Found these tiles on our way to Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse.

We did not eat these tiles. We ate sandwiches we brought with us.
