Accidental Cryotherapy: [07/07/2024]
Falling through a frozen lake / Hypothermia / “Hey, c'mon, you gotta stay awake.”
[YUUTO & SHOU] — 1778 words
CW: Post-hypothermia liberties, A bit of manipulation and abuse by a character at the end
To clarify: Yuuto & Shou are kids here (around 11 & 7, respectively), an excerpt from their past. Shou has CIPA which means he can't feel pain or temperature but can certainly get afflicted by such. A bit late bc I wrote for a bit too long.
@whumperless-whump-event
☆…━━━━━·:*☆…━━━━━·:*☆…━━━━━·:*☆
Yuuto hummed as he sat on the patio of their estate. The house was empty except for him & Shou since their parents had left for a work emergency, leaving the estate rather peaceful. The snow had already thickened on the ground of the garden in the middle of their estate which made a pleasant sight. Which, of course, led to Yuuto’s current problem. The current noise in an otherwise peaceful house.
“Please…” Shou whined as he shook his older brother’s shoulders, pleading and desperately trying to convince Yuuto. “Just by the lake! That’s all I’m asking!”
Yuuto stared dazedly at the garden. Surely, surely, if he ignored Shou long enough, his brother would go away—Shou only moved into the direct sight of Yuuto.
“You can’t. Mom and dad would kill me.” Yuuto sighed as he looked away from Shou. “You have CIPA. Remember?” Yuuto gently shoved Shou out of his sight. He couldn’t give in, no matter how much Shou begged him otherwise.
“Ten minutes,” Shou tried to bargain. Yuuto didn’t even look at his brother. “I’ll get mom to get that new game you wanted.” Yuuto’s resolve started to crack. “I’ll help you sneak out of the house whenever you want.”
“... Five minutes.”
Yuuto was already regretting his decision as he quietly walked out of the estate with Shou beside him. The snow crunched under their boots as they walked toward the lake that was frozen at this time in mid-winter.
“What’s so exciting about a frozen lake?” Yuuto mumbled as he stood at the snow covered shore. Shou had already walked toward the ice, looking at it curiously. “Seriously, it’s just ice.”
“Yeah, and unlike you I don’t get the privilege of being out in winter.” Shou huffed before stepping onto the ice. Yuuto’s gaze narrowed, immediately walking closer to the lake. “Besides! I’ve heard that looking down through an ice lake is a really cool sight!”
“Shou, don’t walk on that—” Yuuto started as he stared down at the ice by his feet before at Shou. Concern ate him from the inside. This couldn’t possibly end well.
“C’mon big bro! Don’t you want to see it together?” Shou interrupted with a chirp as he walked further onto the lake. His steps were confident despite only ice being his only support. “It hasn’t been five minutes yet!”
Yuuto stared at Shou, uncertain. He carefully stepped onto the ice, walking slowly toward Shou. His eyes were trained on the ice. The ice only seemed to become more dark the closer he was to where Shou was. It didn’t bode well. “Fine, fine, we get the sight, and then we’re going home. Don’t want mom to find you frozen dead.”
“Yes, yes! Just come here!” Shou ushered as he crouched to look at the ice in amazement. “You can still see the fishes moving!”
The dread in Yuuto’s gut became heavier as he walked over to Shou till he was right beside his younger brother. He looked down, a few blobs could be seen moving under the ice that could be made out to be fish. “Cool,” was all Yuuto could bring himself to say with his head feeling faint from the risks of standing on ice.
“See? Nothing to worry about. It’s pretty cool!” Shou smiled up at his brother from where he was crouching beside Yuuto. Yuuto wasn’t convinced but he gave a strained smile back to Shou. At least Shou was enjoying it.
“Yeah, maybe I was overthinking…” Yuuto quietly admitted, glancing around the lake. It was fine. Just let Shou admire the view and then could go home, no problem. Just a bit more waiting. “C’mon your five minutes are almost up.”
“Yeah, okay. Fine.” Shou sighed as he stood up to his height with that pout of his. Gods, what Yuuto would do to punt his younger brother. “Thank you, though… For bringing me out.” Or not.
Yuuto sighed before ruffling Shou’s hair with his hand. “Yeah, yeah. You and your condition.” He couldn’t help but smile a bit genuinely himself. “Let’s go home?”
“Yes, yes, captain.” Shou chuckled as he started to walk to the other side of the lake’s shore. Yuuto followed quietly behind. Nothing went wrong after—
Crack.
Yuuto stopped. The dread came back full force as he glanced back. A small crack in the ice right behind him, slowly breaking through the ice. No doubt from their walking. He immediately glanced back at Shou, worried. HIs brother seemed unbothered. He took another step, slowly trying to close the distance to the shore. Another crack.
Yuuto felt lightheaded from the sound. The cold suddenly felt more blistering as he took slow steps behind his brother who was none the wiser. Every other step made an all too familiar crack. Yuuto was all too afraid to look back.
A crack, another step.
His breathing wavered, even worse when Shou turned around in confusion. The way his brother looked at him from the shore, tilting his head at Yuuto who was still standing on the frozen lake. “Brother?”
“Just, just give me a moment,” Yuuto replied. He was frozen in place, unsure where to step next.
“Pfft! Are you still scared?” Shou chuckled from where he was on the shore. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you back!”
“Shou, don’t—” The words came out too late from Yuuto’s mouth as Shou immediately came rushing to him. The cracks became louder behind Yuuto—a split second was all he had. There was only one option, really.
He watched as Shou stumbled back, tumbling toward the shore from Yuuto’s harsh shove—the ice broke from underneath him, dropping him into the lake underneath the ice.
His hair stood on edge as the water engulfed him whole. The temperature made his fingertips numb. He tried his best to hold his breath, but as the light seemed to get smaller, it became harder. His eyelids seemed to only get heavier as he sunk deeper into the lake. His consciousness slowly flickered in and out as he body numbed with the lowered temperature.
He wondered if Shou was running back to the estate, formulating some excuse to why he was missing. Maybe he was staring down from the hole—gods, Yuuto hoped he wasn’t too dumb to jump into the lake.
Maybe… It wasn’t too bad to die this way if Shou was still alive.
The air slowly left his lungs. The icy water flooded his mouth that filled him with an odd taste as his eyes slowly closed. The light coming from the spot he fell through slowly dissipated.
The water stopped feeling so cold.
Maybe this wasn’t so bad…
“—were…….. Doing…………lake…?”
What…?
“We…… mean…..”
Where was he?
“Miss… He’s… up…” That sounded like Shou? What happened? Why did he feel so woozy? He tried to slowly blink his eyes; he could see snow but other than that... It didn’t work. 
“Hey…… you… gotta….. awake…..”
He couldn’t stay awake. Just… What happened…? His eyes shut again…
He processed seeing the unfamiliar ceiling after a moment. He blinked once, then twice. The smell of antiseptic was processed next. How long has he been out? It was still a bit hard to breathe… When was his breath this warm? His eyes tried to glance around. He could see a face framed with white frame to his right. Shou? Where were they?
He glanced to the left, processing an adult? A woman? She was talking to Shou it seemed. His eyes closed again. When he opened them, the lady was gone and for once he had energy to sit up. Shou was immediately at his side. His brother was saying something, but his mind was in a haze.
“Shou…” Yuuto could barely bring himself to mumble out as he brought a hand to his temple. An iv was connected to his wrist. He looked around; it looked like a hospital room. “How…”
“A lady helped save you—How do you feel? I’m, I’m so sorry for what happened—” Shou started to sputter as he ran through his words at a record speed. “I should have just listened to you, and you, you wouldn’t have fallen into the lake and—”
“Shou, shou. Relax… I’m okay…” Yuuto tried to reassure despite how weak he still felt. Right, he fell into the lake. Then, apparently, someone saved him. He didn’t even know who. “Are you okay…?”
“Yes, of course—I’m more worried about you! You fell into a lake in winter!” Shou sorely pointed out again, but before Yuuto could be berated more the door opened with a slam. It was their mom who rushed in immediately.
“Shou, are you okay?” She quickly rushed over to Shou, checking him over. Yuuto belatedly realized that Shou was still in winter clothes. He doubted that would be good for his CIPA when they’re in a more controlled temperature environment, the hospital.
He didn’t have much time to think about it as a harsh slap resounded in the room. His cheek slowly started to bloom in pain. He slowly turned to look, only to see his mom staring down at him.
“What is wrong with you?! Why would you bring Shou outside in this weather, Yuuto?!” She scolded him, and yet Yuuto had no answer. “What would have happened if Shou fell in the lake instead?! He’d be dead! Dead! You would have killed your own brother!”
But Shou didn’t fall into the lake—Yuuto did.
“I… I’m, I’m sorry…” Yuuto could barely mumble out as he looked away, peaking at Shou who seemed distraught that their mom had just slapped Yuuto. “I didn’t mean to put… Shou in dang—”
“Yuuto, you know exactly how his condition is!” She cut him off, irritated as she rubbed her temples. “You’re supposed to be the more responsible one! Can’t I leave you two alone for just a day?!”
Can’t his mom bother to be concerned? He's in a hospital bed. Yuuto looked down at the iv bag connected to his wrist. He wondered if his mom noticed or not. His cheek stinged in pain; it was uncomfortable. “Mom, I—”
“Sweetie, I know I might seem rough right now, but I’m concerned!” He wasn’t given a moment to speak. “You both did something dangerous! Don’t you see where I’m coming from? What you did could have killed Shou!”
Yuuto could only stare before nodding as he looked down at the sheets again. His eyes felt warm and blurry, and his chest felt tight. Breathing felt harder all of a sudden again. The sting against his cheek only seemed to get worse. Was this what concern felt like?
Then, Yuuto didn’t want to be concerned by others anymore,

thinking 'bout how the lads interact with what the bracelets represent, especially in their decks
#marwospeaking#Yuuya is by far hardest to work with on this because he Varies. but that might just be him being opposite to Yuzu so it might count?#anyway Yuuya is a bushfire made by fireworks set off without proper precaution (the improperly set off fireworks being Zarc..#.. being influenced into the position that made the lads through his desire to both destroy and entertain his crowds)#It's small sometimes. but in the right conditions is an unstoppable conflagration#Yuuto literally does not die. In a world where we never truly get the other two (Yuugo and Yuuri) interacting with their host (Yuuya)..#.. outside of duels. he very much does. He is undead in a way the others don't quite match (pre Zarc revival) and it's opposite to..#.. En Bird's life (assuming it counts death too as part of its cycle)#Yuugo uses machine monsters - things that distinctly don't breathe. and in most cases have exhaust pipes billowing fumes#and machines can be warm to the touch at times. which you could feasibly slide against Rin's Windwitches for being Very Cold Ladies#Also he's trapped no matter where he is. Neo Domino has a stronger grip on him as a person than anyone else. and when he might finally..#.. escape that. he's trapped in someone else's body with no canonical recourse. because the story ended on Yuuya's terms and no one elses#Yuuri is hardest to place but I think he's very stationary. Sere's monsters are dancers - constantly moving - and she's very able to#adapt as she goes despite how stupid she can be book-wise. Yuuri is rooted into his role. even when he discards his loyalty his role was..#.. always in Zarc's interest no matter if he knew or not. The Professor's loyalty from him is an add-on to that#... I'd argue Zarc cared more about his pieces than Ray cared about hers also? He made cards for them on the fly so they'd Win#Even in moments where that victory is not in a wholly positive light - Odd-Eyes Raging and Gatlinghoul - but we know he's capable of it..#.. a la allowing Yuuya to debut pendulum monsters on his behalf in order to win against Ishijima#something something this can then apply to the other lads. they never lose except to each other and Ray's girls (at least on screen)#Yuuto survived 3 years of war. even despite Yuugo and Yuuri showing up. so methinks Zarc must've had a role in helping him survive#Like. Zarc's distinctly present for his Lads. Ray's not present for her lasses until one of them speaks through her#Sure it's very possible that's a bracelet thing - they are floodgates at the end of the day - and not a Ray thing. but it also wouldn't..#.. surprise me given Ray is an Akaba. we know they will sacrifice others for a gain later on - Ray's was sacrificing a whole world to make.#.. a safer one for everyone to live in. irrelevant on if they remember it or if they never existed originally. Except Leo Akaba. He does#(with memory reading tech) and it tortures him the whole time. she didn't mean to hurt him but Still#Zarc's distinctly not better than Ray - he's still broken wide open when it comes to his hatred of humanity (but not his human half)#and it resulted in multiple near-deaths the second time around - but I can't say Ray's that much better if it turns out the bracelets..#.. weren't floodgating her ability to help her lasses#Completely unrelated but. I don't like what Arcray represents ngl. makes it seem like Zarc could never move on with the help of his lads#and has to rely on someone who killed him and sent him to purgatory about it in order to heal.

I wrote uhh something that takes place in episode 10 of the first season after Kidou asked Kageyama about Fuyukai putting a trap on the bus and Kageyama just told him that what makes a great commander is ensuring the win before the match even starts. This was a little headcanon-ish of mine of what happened after that. A notable thing is this was also a bit after the match with Meito where Gouenji couldn't fight because of his leg injury.
To Those Who Take Flight
Chapter Summary: After Kidou asked the commander regarding Fuyukai's actions, he found himself remembering even more "accidents" that happened in the last year's Football Frontier. His contemplative walk took him to Inazuma General Hospital where he met the man he wanted to talk to the most. Characters: Kidou Yuuto, Gouenji Shuuya, Gouenji Katsuya Relationships: Kidou Yuuto & Gouenji Shuuya; Gouenji Shuuya & Gouenji Katsuya Word Count: 1,523 No Warnings Apply Genre: General, canon compliant, drama, doubts, family drama
Chapter 1: Reason
Kidou dragged his feet around Inazuma Town, a place his body automatically goes to after his responsibilities since his first match against Endou and Gouenji.
He pulled on his red jacket to hold himself together. His brain repeated the commander’s doubts on his team like a mantra… Did he really believe Teikoku Eleven wouldn’t be able to win against Raimon? After all the training they went through?
In all his life following him, this was the first time the commander expressed zero confidence in Kidou winning in anything he had ever worked for. It was one experience that he wouldn’t be comfortable enough to call humbling; it was degrading…
But even more so was the thought that he wouldn’t be able to trust them to win even after they already proved themselves in the nationals last year—!
Kidou’s feet pressed heavily on the ground as he felt his own weight suddenly multiplied.
On the Football Frontier last year… how many people were not able to make it to their match? How many healthy and usually careful players were benched because of an injury that occurred before they arrived at the field?? Kidou’s feet made fast strides without him realizing it; without him even thinking about a place to go.
Different faces flashed in his memories. They were few. Too few, in fact, to be considered to be part of some grand scheme. And with circumstances too mundane to even make a connection from.
But there are faces… and one in particular that Kidou had always felt so much empathy and connection with.
He continued with heavy steps that made him feel so cold despite the enticing warmth of the afternoon. The words in his head fell on top of each other as he revised phrases and sentences that didn't seemingly want to escape his lips. Before he knew it, his feet took him to Inazuma General Hospital guided by the face of the enemy he waited a year to see on the same field.
His sister's room is on the fifth floor—a fact that he only knew after spying it on one of the… files on the commander's desk. It was not exactly a weird detail to be there… perhaps; as it also contained his entire family background. But, simply acquiring all this information didn't really prove anything. Knowing everything about a person was merely… the commander’s way of doing things. 
Kidou broke his stride as he doubted—wondered what he was doing there.
He bit his lip as his chest burned in cold flames.
His heel pressed on the floor, about to turn around when he caught a glimpse of a familiar blonde in front of the elevator he was beelining to earlier.
Kidou felt an electric urge to talk to him.
To tell him something… something that… something that's important. Something—what was he planning to say??
All the words he clumsily mended together fell apart like a few pieces of hair that the wind took from his loosened fingers.
What could there be to talk to him about that could be called a fact? Wouldn't sharing his unproven allegations of his own coach to him just unnecessarily put doubts on Gouenji? Kidou waited so long to resolve their unfinished business; the last thing he wanted is for his opponent to be distracted by Kidou's doubts on his own mentor… by his own personal matters.
The long tribulations Kidou went through in his head was but a few seconds outside, he realized, as he heard Gouenji's unusually weak voice addressing an older man suited as any doctor would in this place.
The familiar man— Gouenji Katsuya, according to the commander's folder— spoke with a sharp chill that reached where Kidou hid just before he made a turn on the hallway.
"...can't even wait before your leg completely heals?" The doctor pointed the paper he was holding to Gouenji's raimon tracksuit as his eyes shifted from his once-broken leg to his face. "What would it take for you to realize that all soccer has ever done is to harm you?"
Guilt stabbed Kidou at the way Gouenji's head bowed slightly; he mumbled in a tone so low and broken that Kidou felt himself an unforgivable voyeur to catch him vulnerable like this. "It was just a minor injury."
Both Kidou and Gouenji felt their breaths stop at the sigh that left Dr. Gouenji's mouth. It was a move that Kidou knew as well.
"Do what you want."
Utter disappointment. No, Kidou figured it's something even lower: 'There is no hope for you.'
Kidou shied his eyes away from Gouenji's battles as more, new thoughts came into his mind. The matter of Yuuka's accident was pushed at the back of his head as he delved into the genius striker's attachment to soccer. Kidou flipped his memories like it was a thick book of condensed data that his thumb turned with amazing speed. 
Did the commander have information about it? When did he start soccer? Why did he start playing?! Was it just because it was something he was exceptional at?!!
The questions flooded and turned so loud that they drowned out Katsuya’s footsteps. In a matter of seconds, Kidou's initial reason for going there was muted by the barrage of infinitely slamming thoughts.
"You’d think someone who has everything would have a better hobby."
Kidou's heart almost leapt out of his chest as a husky voice put him back where he stood. It was a tone with more strength than what he heard from the halls, but was subtly weaker than the usual Gouenji.
Kidou retreated the hand that jumped instinctively to his chest and stood with more dignity as he let his enemy rightfully criticize his character with the deadly blade of his eyes. His gaze held so much unrelenting intensity that Kidou felt like his knees may begin to quiver if he wasn't pouring all of his will into keeping it solid.
"Gouenji—!"
Kidou's sentence was cut short with a sigh that sounded almost like the same one they heard earlier; a fact that Kidou had enough heart?— delicacy to never willingly point out.
Gouenji spared a glance before he clicked his tongue and made a turn to leave.
"Wait!!"
His steps didn't waver.
"I have something to ask you."
He merely halted on his place but he made sure to relay the intention that he would make no move to turn around and face him.
"Why?"
He made a small glance from over his shoulder.
"Your sister, your relationship with your father… After every terrible thing that soccer caused you, how could you continue to play it?"
The surprise on Gouenji's face finally tamed the ferocious anger displayed. He turned sideways as the reflected patches of the rays of the sun outside the glass windows kissed his cheek; he stayed bewildered with the question. "Why?"
Gouenji unconsciously turned his body where Kidou stood as his subtle facial expressions morphed to several ones in a matter of seconds.
Kidou stood speechless at the impressive showcase of how the other athlete thinks outside of what he'd seen from his matches. His eyes glowed with amazing passion as his tanned skin was given more attention by the afternoon light shaded by the bountiful leaves outside; his musings were made obvious by the slight parting of his lips and the way his hand made little twitches of his fingers.
Gouenji opened his mouth to speak but clammed it shut as he seemed to get lost in his world again.
Kidou couldn't find this anything but… aesthetically pleasing. It was one that his brain urged him to paint as soon as he would be able to; all the details and colors visualized and ready to be recreated with little twists of his own.
Even the way Gouenji suddenly glanced at the window to look at the trees was graceful. As did the change in his expression as he pointed at one of the branches.
"?" Kidou silently followed what Gouenji's finger was trying to show him. He finally heard a semblance of the singing of birds as he was made aware of their existence right there. But, Kidou merely opened his mouth in confusion.
"Why does a bird fly?" Gouenji's voice was something between unsure and confident, but it contained his hardened will. "My answer is probably something like that…"
Kidou could only hang his mouth open in answer.
This earned a surprising sympathetic look from the striker. "I’ll be in the match this time… whether you’ll be entirely there or not."
He started walking away; leaving Kidou to stay in his place and watch his back with less uncertainty in him than from when he walked in the hospital.
Continuing to mull the interaction over, Kidou unconsciously sat on one of the chairs on the hallway; one where he could look directly out the window from. He rested there now with his thoughts quieter and a tad bit clearer.
Luckily, he was just in time to see the birds fly away in his brief stay there. He then inevitably pondered, "Why… do they fly?"

- Social Media (in my TWST AU) -
this is rly short cz im procrastinating finishing my oc profiles rn... oops edit after i finished: wow i lied MY BAD i did not anticipate this... ahahahaha...
any notes (do i call it that?) would mean the world even a like will make me very happy (pls im desperate.... i did not do all this yapping for nothing... /lh /nsrs) ok first section :sparkles: Magicam :sparkles:
in my au i sorta think of magicam like insta (obviously) except there's like two main sections obviously there's the insta bit which is just . insta . yk photo based and shit
then there's also a section that's essentially just twitter like as in text based posts and twitter type shenanigans and stuff
(think of it like threads but if people actually used threads as much as they used instagram and it was like integrated into the instagram experience and culture and stuff)
therefore insta-type posts and twitter-type posts can exist simultaneously and everyone wins (that's why everyone only talks abt magicam cuz its got EVERYTHING in one) wow!!!!!!!!! ok next section... a twst equivalent of discord... it doesn't have a name idk whether to keep it as discord or not... imagine i call it magicord... /hj ok so i just came up with this idea as im writing this so we're winging it
but essentially its like a main chat system integrated into most games where essentially you login to all games through this account and your username stays the same
it also integrates into in game chat systems and shit
but it also works like discord as its own platform and you can make servers and group chats and shit too
if you add someone in a game it goes straight to their account so like you don't have separate accounts its just all one :3
that's why gloomurai and muscle_red are always the same yk like ur friends list instantly transfers no matter what game u play handy right :333 last section!!!! [ how this is relevant in my au !! ]
im so so so very sorry theres no context for any of the oc stuff i swear ill get the profiles done soon...
ok this is purely for me to yap about my ocs and canon rn so uh yea
idia (gloomurai) lilia (muscle_red) yuuto (infinitelygrey)* & mace (chainflailed) have a group chat and a server and are usually active in them almost every day. they often play games together , idia and mace carry, lilia has fun (though does his part - competitive ass), and yuuto... yuutos trying his best... he'll bite u if u tell him he's doing worse than the rest of them though
yuuto & kiyuu share a magicam page with ramshackle dorm branding n shit (@/snowyruins)**, and they both have a sign off (yuutos is yu & kiyuu's is ki) kiyuu does most of the posts, whether its of himself, or ramshackle's 'cleaning progress' or him exploring outside of their dorm yuuto pitches in once in a blue moon to post dumb memes and/or reply in the middle of kiyuu's conversations to make fun of people ;p or alternatively just a really shitty doodle of someone to embarrass them aros has a magicam account that's decently famous because of his family, though he rarely uses it except to promote his families business yuuto posts his art under a magicam acc also called @/infinitelygrey (he has to resist the urge to draw his friends schoolmates since its anon) *this is a reference... if u get it ill marry you (/j ill just be very happy) **this one i can actually explain right since since yu + ki = yuki and yuki = snow and ramshackle means like 'state of disrepair' so its basically like ruins right right right right??! ok thats all i can think of rn.... i did way too much yapping holy shit i can feel my braincells melting... stay tuned for another one of these regarding a different topic sometime soon??? i have too much brainrot >;3 im actually kinda rly nervous to post this idk why but yolo ig...

♱ DIABOLIK LOVERS: Haunted Dark Bridal ー Sakamaki Ryuuto | Manservant Ending ♱
[ ✥ "Normal" Ending, unlocked only through selecting the sadistic choices. ✥ ]  
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⌜ Scene: Garden ⌟
ー Ryuuto and Cordelia walk side-by-side. ー
Yui:The garden? Nfu…
When you said you had “somewhere important” to take me, I never assumed you would have meant the garden, of all places.
Will you finally tell me why you’ve led me all the way out here?
Could you have some sort of surprise in store for me, I wonder?
Ryuuto: … …
ー Another set of footsteps approach. ー
Richter: Cordelia, Ryuuto. Might I join you on your stroll?
Ryuuto: … …I think you’d much more enjoy the warmth of the fireplace than a midnight stroll, Father.
Yui: I don’t think he wants an audience, you know, Richter.
I can’t imagine why. He’s being awfully suspicious〜
Richter: An audience? Three is hardly a crowd, in this case.
Yui: I agree. Whatever it is, Richter can stay. Just don’t keep me waiting, hm?
Ryuuto: …Very well. Then, if I might continue…
It’s been some time since Father and I have resurrected you, some time since you’ve taken over this body for yourself. What’s more…
Not very long ago, you said that Yui no longer exists within you. Is that correct?
Yui: She is barely hanging on by a thread, if that. She’s certainly stubborn, no matter what I do. But, there’s little reason to worry about that.
It’s far too late for her anymore. After all, I’ve completely adapted to this vessel, now.
Ryuuto: …I see.
In that case, I do indeed have something for you, Mother.
I brought you here as to ensure your vessel – this body and this soul – continues to remain with me, forever.
Please, come closer, Mother…
ー Cordelia embraces Ryuuto. ー
Richter: With a heart as strong as hers, I had few doubts that the awakening would fail from here on out, myself. Althoughーー
ーーDo you mean to say you have found a way to ensure it certainly goes to plan?
Yui: Ufufu… I wouldn’t mind being a Vampire, once again, if that is your idea.
ー Ryuuto pulls something from his pocket. ー
Ryuuto: I mean to sayーー
ー Ryuuto suddenly plunges a knife into Cordelia’s back. ー
ーーYou’re free! Yui!
Yui: G-Gaa…!!
( Wh-What happened?! This reaction…! )
Richter: C-Cordelia…!!
ー She collapses at his feet. ー
Yui: ( Ryuuto-san!! )
Y-You… pierced right th-through my heart!! F-From behind!!
You’re trying to murder me, turning against me!?
And to think it’s… a-all for that girl?! I…
Richter: Cordelia!!
Yui: R-Richter…! Hurry…!
( There’s so much blood!! )
( She’s losing consciousness, I’m almost there! )
Richter, again! S…ave me again…! Don’t let me…
Die…!!
( I’m almostーー )
ー Yui suddenly regains control as Cordelia becomes unconscious. ー
ーーFree!
Ryuuto: Fufu… As am I.
ー Ryuuto now stabs himself with the same blade, and collapses. ー
Yui: R-Ryuuto-sa…n…!
( Th-The pain! Suddenly, it’s overwhelming!! )
( My… body… feels so heavy… But, more importantlyーー )
Ryuu…to…san, you saved me…! So, wh-why then did you…
ー A dying Ryuuto embraces Yui one last time. ー
Tumblr media
Ryuuto: Together… We d-die together, fufu.
Dying in the arms of your master. And m-me… in the arms of my Pet.
Richter: R-Ryuuto! What have you done!?
ー Richter rushes over. ー
Yui: R…yuuto…san…
( Am I really going to die… with Ryuuto-san? )
( So, after all… He really did… care? )
( For some reason… I don’t feel scared… )
Ryuuto: K…iss me, Yui.
ー They kiss. ー
Yui: Ryuuto…san...
( I… love you… )
ー Together, they die. ー
… …
ー Richter drops to his knees and pulls Yui’s body from Ryuuto. ー
Richter: C-Cordelia…! Cordelia!!
Open your eyes…!! T-Tell me wh-what to do!
Sh-Shall I carve your heart out again…? So w-we might start anew, on-once more?!
Kc… Co-Cordelia…
ー Richter lets out a few wails, hugging her tight. ー
P-Please… Don’t slip… away f-from me again…
Not like th-this…!!
ー He now grabs hold of Ryuuto’s body. ー

What small quirks do they love about each other?
Who makes the other laugh more?
Which one wears the "I'm with stupid" t-shirt?
Questions for self ship/OC x canon couples
Tumblr media
This answer is written together with @ruki-mukami-dl.
Who makes the other laugh more?
Yuriko makes Ruki laugh more. This usually happens when she says something she doesn't even consider funny but it makes Ruki chuckle anyway because he never thought the matter like that. He calls her adorable right after that.
Which one wears the "I'm with stupid" t-shirt?
Neither of them.
What small quirks do they love about each other?
We started to make a list of quirks together with Ruki's admin but it soon turned out more like a list of things these two love in each other. So... we decided to share that instead.
Ruki loves it...
💙 ...when Yuriko blushes
💙 ...when Yuriko is absorbed in the book she is reading
💙 ...when Yuriko's eyes curl into crescents while she is smiling
💙 ...when Yuriko raises on her toes while kissing him
💙 ...when Yuriko tries desperately to make him chocolates for Valentine's Day (maybe one day she is able to do that!)
💙 ...when Yuriko's eyes start to sparkle and she acts excited like a child over something
💙 ...how Yuriko shares his interest in literature and wants to discuss it
💙 ...how Yuriko has a big heart and she loves him unconditionally, forgiving and staying even after he killed someone for her
💙 ...how Yuriko can take a nap anywhere. He finds her cute
💙 ...how Yuriko is brave enough to sit on his lap. He loves to have her there
💙 ...how Yuriko cherishes her fox plushie. It reminds him of how he enshrines the photo of his parents
💙 ...how Yuriko wanted to save Yuuto. It's important for Ruki that she has a strong love for her family
💙 ...how Yuriko is almost always wearing skirts. It's feminine
💙 ...how Yuriko is a good girl and listens to his orders but at the same time, he loves it when she is brave and tells about her wishes
💙 ...how Yuriko spoke to him when she touched his scars for the first time
Tumblr media
"I love you. You've been through a lot and it has left marks on you. Some memories aren't good but they're part of you. I... I love those dark parts too. Maybe one day... you can think about my fingers instead those people who hurt you. I love you the way you are..."
Tumblr media
Yuriko loves it...
💙 ...when Ruki whispers directly into her ear
💙 ...when his fangs are peeking while he is chuckling
💙 ...when Ruki brushes her hair aside in a gentle manner
💙 ...when Ruki cooks for her. This shows her how much he cares about her. She loves especially chocolate chip cookies and vegetable soup since those are the first things Ruki made for her
💙 ...when Ruki is brave enough to show his weaker side to her
💙 ...when Ruki's tough shell breaks a little as Yuriko makes him chuckle. She finds that adorable
💙 ...how Ruki's expression changes very slightly when he is reading
💙 ...how Ruki dresses up. Yuriko finds him stylish
💙 ...how Ruki is willing to discuss literature with her and truly listens to her thoughts
💙 ...how Ruki's words of love are always very intense. She tends to repeat his words in her mind.
Tumblr media
"This is your punishment for stealing my freedom. My thoughts are all about you. You made me and my mind your prisoner."
Tumblr media
NSFW things they love in each other
💙 Ruki loves how Yuriko sometimes sways her butt
💙 He also loves it when Yuriko presses her bottom against him as if asking to be taken in that instant
💙 And he can't help but love it when Yuriko tugs his hair while they are having their heated moments
💙 The same goes when Yuriko asks to be bitten
💙 All these signs tell him how much she yearns for him which makes him feel wanted
💙 Yuriko loves it when Ruki pulls her bottom lip while kissing
💙 Ruki grazing the tips of his fangs over her skin drives her crazy
💙 It probably goes without saying but Yuriko loves it when Ruki bites her
💙 Yuriko also loves that Ruki knows the balance between rough fucking and gentleness, combining the both perfectly and making her melt
"I can’t... too... good! Gosh!"
"I'm not done... Now I'll make you scream my name~"

Hi! I would like to request hcs of Wataru, Ren, and Tomoru with a fem s/o who's sick but keeps denying it :)
Author's note: This is such a cute prompt i can't help adding small scenario for them huhu. Thank u for requesting and enjoy~
Pairings: Wataru Matoba x fem!reader, Ren Nanahoshi x fem!reader, Tomoru Kurokawa x fem!reader
Warnings: none
Tumblr media
There's no way you can hide your sickness from him. No matter how much you say you're fine or how much make up you put on to hide the loss of blood on your face. Your change of behavior just says it all.
Especially when Wataru has his mother mode on (kidding)
No more college or part time work until you're 100% fit!
If you hide it because you know how he's gonna react... Well guess what? He does not care. He's prepared to help you get better fast.
Soup, meds, check-up, drink water 8 times a day, fruits, etc.
You're not allowed to get out of bed unless going to the bathroom or else he'll scold you.
If he can't take care of you by himself, he'll legit be worried sick in whatever activity he's doing.
He'll haunt you if you don't take your meds on time when he's away.
"I'm not sharing my desert anymore if you won't drink your medicine!" he demanded.
"Huhhh t-that's not fair... a-ACHOO" You sneezed.
"See?! You're still not getting better since yesterday so please drink it."
"It's nothing... I'm not sick," you whimpered while your eyes feels hotter than ever from the fever.
Tumblr media
You missed two days of class and he's been trying to reach you on phone but you never pick up, you answered him through text instead saying there's nothing to worried about, you tell him you're just being lazy
Ren knows well you'll never skip class that way. There must be something wrong
The last time he saw your face was a few days ago on video call, he noticed the change on your voice but you just brushed it off saying it must be the internet connections
Ren would ask his friends on what to do. What if you're sick? You've never been sick ever since he's dating you so he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't want to take the wrong steps
Wataru would suggest Ren text you first to see if you're really ok, if you're sick or not. Yuu would suggest Ren go straight to your house with fruits and your favorite snacks
Ren would take both advices because he is what he is, our innocent bby
He did text you and you said to not worry about anything, you'd come back to uni in about two days. So he goes for Yuuto's plan, hoping for the best, hoping you won't hate him for worrying
Your plan on not telling him was because you don't want Ren near you while in this condition. You yourself can't believe you got sick again after a long time... maybe you shouldn't took uni way too hard
Your plan was crushed when you found him in front of your door
"R-Ren, why are you here?" you realized your voice sounded hoarse, Ren probably noticed it too.
"Y/n! I... I've been worried, I thought that you might be ill since our last call," he said. "I-I'm sorry for not telling you that I'm coming over."
You're trying so hard to not cough in front of him, "That's ok, I've been wanting to see you too, but as you can see I'm not ill."
"Stop denying it, y/n," Ren pleaded. "Here, I have food and I also bring mask. Can I come in?"
"...."
No words there, you're having internal battle with yourself because the urge to hug him was so high but you can't do it with this condition.
Tumblr media
Let's say you and him are planning a simple date at your place since he's been balancing his work life and band life like a madman. The two of you miss each other, and you don't want anything extravagant or time/energy consuming. Simply each other's presence are all that matters
Sadly, your boos hasn't been kind to you lately. The time and attention you've put into doing those piled up work (not just yours, some of them are also other's) basically put you under immense pressure to the point your body reacted badly and fell ill
But you can't get sick, not right now, not when you have a plan with Tomoru tonight. You need to come home early too to prepared the ingredients before hand, and Tomoru said he's going to come and help you too
Things went smooth at first, until you suddenly lost your balance in the kitchen but you just brushed it off and continue cooking with all the strength you have left. Let's hope he didn't witness that, there's no room for messing up at this moment with him
Sadly, your body doesn't like this plan of yours and decided to faint in front of him. Your head feels like exploding and all the energy in your body suddenly gone, not even enough to make your legs do their job
Tomoru almost panicked, he knew you've been busy at work too but he didn't know it'd go this far. He feels like punching your boss for making you do too much work
There's no room for debate, no matter how much you try to convince him that you're fine and can help still help him out a little, you're not moving until he says otherwise
Yes, he'd be bossy yet caring. He'd squeeze the time to check up on you/take care of you when you're sick. And you just feel bad because his activities needs a lot of his time
(This has to be the longest bonus scenario i've done. I can't help it IT'S TOMORU)
The world seemed blurry all of the sudden, and your legs felt like they forgot how to stand. What were you about to do? Oh, cutting the fruits. Wait, where did the fruits go?
Your legs give out, good thing Tomoru's reflexed on catching you before you kiss the floor. Your body felt so limp against him that he could be having a stroke soon if you don't wake up, "y/n? Love?? Y/N?!!! P-Please answer or I swear to God i'll have a heart attack."
He carried your unconscious body to the bedroom, "Y/n please wake up first so i know it's not something worse than what i think it is." Oh the cracked in his voice, the fear it performed.
He checked all the signs of life in your body as best as he could. Faint pulse, faint breath, faint color on your lips. If the situation weren't like this, you'd be a perfect Snow White.
"H-Hey..." you groaned. You opened your eyes to find Tomoru right in front of you with eyes glassy with tears.
"Don't 'hey' me," he exclaimed. "What on Earth was that about?! Do you know how much that scared the hell out of me?"
"I'm sorry, that won't happen again..." you said. "Ok, I'm all good now." You tried to get out of bed but he stopped you.
"Don't." His hand touching your face. "You're burning up."
"I'm no-"
"Quit being stubborn." He sighed. "I'll help you change your clothes. Does the room too hot? Do you want me to tie your hair?"
"But our plan..."
"But I'm not going anywhere." He pulled out a shopping bag from his ransel. "Here, I got this for you."
"Tomoru,"
"Yes, babe?"
"I'm sorry for ruining our date like this," you sobbed.
"Nonsense." He wiped the tears off of your face. "And it won't hurt if i get extra rest, especially with you beside me."

*****************************************************************************************************
What a fucking mess... You were in the middle of having lunch with Dylan when your water broke. Having given birth herself she understood the weird mix of emotions you were currently going through. On one hand you were anxious and wanted to get the hospital right away, but on the other hand you really wanted to finish you meal. You knew there wouldn't be much food once you got there and you didn't want to take that chance. You settled for taking it to go and stuffing your face on the way. 
You called Bakugo and got sent straight to voicemail... “The fuck? His phone better not be dead.. Not today of all days.” You huffed as you slid into the passenger seat of Dylans car. You tried him again and again you only got his voicemail. 
So you called the agency to see if he was out on duty and they confirmed that he was and that he was with red riot. “He and Kiri better not be up to something...” You thanked them and called Kiri just to get his voicemail too. “What the actual fuck. Usually I have to deal with them being up my ass 24/7 checking in every five fucking minutes to make sure I’m okay. But the SECOND I go into labor they’re MIA. WHAT THE FUCK OW OW OW!” You got hit with a contraction which led you squeezing the armrest until your knuckles turned white. 
You tried breathing the way Dylan was instructing you too. It wasnt really helping but at least trying to focus on that took your mind off other things. You called both of them several more times and sent them several text messages. Finally you had enough... So you called Yuuto. 
“Hello Mrs. Bakugo.”
“YUUTO! I need your help. I’m on my way to the hospital, the baby is coming and I can’t get ahold of Mr. Bakugo!”
“So you need me to find him?”
“YES! ahhhh” Another contraction ripped through you. “Please Yuuto!” 
“No please necessary. I will find him. I would like to think I know enough about him and his routine. This will be a fun exercise. Thank you Mrs. Bakugo.” 
“No I should be the one thank-”
He had already hung up. He had his task and he wasnt going to waist time talking to you about it. You could hear him now, ‘Why talk when you can do? Why ask questions when you already know the answer?’ Teaching him had to be one the most frustratingly yet delightful things you had ever done. And you were so happy to have him in your corner right about now. 
Dylan gave your hand a quick squeeze, “Dont worry we’ll be there soon and we’ll get Bakugo there. There’s no way he’d miss this. I know Yuuto, I've seen his quirk. He is more than capable of tracking Bakugo down.”
You were waddling towards the front desk of the hospital now clutching onto Dylan. Still no word from anyone. You tried to remain calm as they put you in a wheelchair and took you back to a room. Tried to focus on your breathing as your next contraction hit. You tried.. but it wasnt working. You were scared. You needed Katsuki. What if something goes wrong? What if something happens to you or the baby? Fuck you still hadn't settled on a name! You both had been fighting over it for weeks now. You liked the name Kaito but he liked Itsuki. You were supposed to have it figured out before the baby came, yet here you are ready to have a baby and Katsuki wasn’t here. You were openly sobbing now as the door burst open. And in stumbled...Kirishima?
“Look it’s not that I’m not happy to see you... but WHERE THE FUCK IS MY HUSBAND?!” 
“I dont fucking know!” He rubbed the back of his neck. “We got separated! Both of our phones are in our lockers back at the agency because we were trying to track a technopath! We weren't aloud to have any kind of technology on us that they could use against us. I was actually looking for him when I ran into that kid..uh... Yuuto! He asked me a couple weirdly specific questions and then ran off telling me to come here.” 
Your phone was ringing. “It’s Yuuto! It’s a FaceTime!” You clicked answer and were immediately met with a confused Yuuto. That’s not good. He’s never confused.... ever. “Yuuto! What is it? What’s wrong?”
He shrugged, “I found him but he’s naked and he’s asleep.” 
Leave it to Yuuto to say something like that with a completely serious face. “Apparently there was just enough tech in his hero suit that they were able to strip it off of him. And looking at the cut on his forehead I’d say he they hit him over the head with something and knocked him out. Doesn't look too serious though. He’ll be fine.”
You bit your lip as you tried to hold back a cry of pain, “Yuuto. Have you tried waking him up?”
His nose scrunched up, “I don't want to touch him. He’s naked.”
“Yuuto please! He really needs to get here. I’m going to be having this baby any minute.” 
He sighed, “Fine.” He walked over and picked up what looked like a hose. If you weren’t in your current position you would laugh. You were almost disappointed that he had to put the phone down because you would have loved to see him wake Bakugo up with a hose. 
You heard the hose turn on followed by a “WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!” 
You could hear some kind of mumbled response from Yuuto before the phone was being picked up again. “I dont care if I’m naked. She’s literally having my baby I’m sure she's okay if she sees me without clothes on.” Now the screen was being filled with a soaked and panicked looking Bakugo. “Hey babe, you there. Are you okay? Oh wow you’re like already in the hospital. Fuck.” He turned to look behind him and had a quick conversation with Yuuto. “Dont worry babe. I’m going to be there. As soon As I can find some pants I’m going to blast right over. Yuuto says were not too far. I can be there in thirty minutes.” 
You started crying, “I cant wait that long! Please Katsuki! I need you. I’m so scared. Please!” 
You knew it was irrational to be asking him to get here any sooner than was physically possible. Its not like he had your teleporting quirk. He couldn’t just pop in....unless.... 
“Baby just breath okay. I’m coming. I promise. I love you, and you’re doing great! I’ll stay on the phone with you until I get there....”
“Katsuki where are you?”
“I’m on my way I promise I just need to find some -”
“No like where are you right now? What street?” You screamed out as another contraction hit. 
“Shit Y/n are you okay?” “WHAT FUCKING STREET ARE YOU ON?”
“Shit I dont know! I dont see any street signs!” “Show me”
“What? What do you mean show you?”
“SHOW ME WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE!” 
He moved the camera around and you knew exactly where he was.
“Hold your breath..” 
“.....what...”
An intense contraction hit you as you focused all of your energy, all your pain, all of your fear into one thing. Getting Katsuki here.
“Oh shit, she’s fucking doing it...” You could hear Dylan freaking out in the corner of the room next to Kirishima. “Y/n NO! that’s too much!” 
You heard a crashing noise outside of your room followed by a loud squeal. Next thing you knew the door was being flung open and there stood a naked as the day he was born Bakugo. 
“Fuck Y/n I dont know what the fuck you did but it was amazing and terrifying and holy shit I cant believe I’m married to you.” He was next to you in an instant pulling on a pair of scrub bottoms that a blushing nurse had handed him. “He wiped the tears that were now streaming down your cheeks. “You got this. You are the most badass woman I know.” 
You didn't feel badass if anything you felt weak. “I needed you. I cant do this alone.”
He kissed your forehead, “You dont have to okay? I’m here, I’ll always be here.” 
One of the many monitors you were hooked up to started making an alarming noise. It was getting hard to breathe. A bunch of people piled into your room, looking at charts and monitors. They were talking but you couldn't hear them over your own panic. One of them was talking to Bakugo who looked like he was ready to fight someone. 
He came back to your side and tried to fix his face to be calming but his shaky voice gave him away, “They need to do it now y/n. They said they think the baby is in distress. But they don’t know if he actually is or if it’s just his quirk messing with the machines. They need you to get ready to push okay? Can you do that?” 
You grabbed his hand, “I guess I don’t really have a choice.” 
The next half hour was the most painful and exhausting thing you had ever done. You were soaked with tears and sweat and Katsuki bless him held your hand the whole time. “Just one more push babe. You can do this. Just one more.” 
You couldn't do it though. You were so tired. You could barley keep your head up. But you had too. You knew you had to otherwise your baby was at risk. Even if it killed you, you were going to keep pushing. 
You gave one final push until you heard the wailing of your newborn son. 
Katsuki left momentarily before coming right back and kissing your forehead, “He’s beautiful y/n. You did so good baby. They’re cleaning him up right now but-”
He was cut off by the doctor who had just delivered your son, “I dont know how this is possible... But it seems there is another baby.” 
You picked up your heavy and exhausted head, “I’m sorry... what do you mean there’s another baby?” 
The doctor sighed, “It looks like you’re having twins... and I apologize but it looks like it’s time to push.” 
You squeezed Katsuki’s hand, “I cant. I cant do it again.” 
He put his forehead to yours, “Yes you can y/n. I know you can. You're a fighter. If I could do this for you I would, but I cant. You can do this! You have to push. You have to push and then it’ll all be over.” 
You nodded as you clenched your teeth closed your eyes and pushed. And pushed. And pushed some more. You were beginning to feel like it was never going to end. You didn't even know how you were still going at this point. And then you heard it. The sound of a baby crying. 
The doctor held the baby up for you to see, “Congratulations. It’s a girl.”
“Fuck.” You somehow found it in you to laugh at a very concerned looking Bakugo. 
Dylan explained that after looking into your daughters eyes that she was in fact the reason the machines were malfunctioning. She had some kind of stealth quirk that was already developing. Great. Just what we need... a stealthy infant. 
Soon enough both of your new babies were swaddled and in your arms. Katsuki snuggled up next to you in your hospital bed, “They’re so beautiful y/n... you did so good.”
You leaned you head onto his shoulder, “Hey they are half you too. I can’t take all of the credit.” 
Your son had thick hair the same color as yours and red eyes like his dad. His little nose scrunching up the same way Katsuki's does when he’s irritated. You already knew he was going to be handsome. Although you may be biased. 
Your daughter was hair so blonde it was almost white. with eyes that looked like they were copy and pasted from your own face. She was gripping Katsuki’s thumb, already a daddy’s girl. 
He smiled, “What are we going to name them?” 
“I was thinking about Niko you know for our daughter.” 
He brushed a gentle thumb over your daughters cheek, “Niko? I like it. It’s very pretty. And for the boy?” 
You sighed, “Well I know you really liked the name Itsuki and I have to admit, it’s really grown on me.” 
You couldn’t see his face but you knew he was happy. 
“So Niko and Itsuki... Welcome to the world.”

Feverish Dream (yandere!dream x reader) chapter 3
Any of my other ocs that appear in this story are not portrayed exactly the same as they do originally. So please keep in mind that they are pictured in this story differently to fit the narrative. They way they are pictured in this story is not how they act/are canonically.
(Note: You can find this story on my quotev)
Keeping your eyes closed, you can't think clearly. Floating in an empty dark space, you feel your body sink down further. It's weird though, you hear someone calling your name. It's muffled and a bit hard to hear, but their voice sounds nice. Feeling a tingly sensation on your sides, it becomes worse as it makes you squirm around. Kicking your legs and flailing your arms around, you try to stop whatever is tickling you. The voice calling out to you becomes louder and more clear and you feel something underneath you, so you open your eyes.
Your mouth opens as a burst of laughter erupts from your throat. Struggling underneath the person on top of you, they continue to tickle you. Small tears blur your vision as you try to see who the culprit it, but your body jostles against the plush comforter and fuzzy blankets and pillows around you. Your foot kicks-you presume a pillow-off the bed and a loud "plop" can be heard.
"AHahahaAAA STOP!" you plead out to the stranger to stop tickling you, but they don't. Instead, you hear them speak.
"Only if you get up! (Y/N) (L/N) do you plan to sleep in for the rest of the day?"
"YEAH OKAY I-I WILL! PLEASE PFT-STOP!"
They pull back their hands away from you. A few excess giggles escapes your mouth as you clam yourself down to fix your composure. Breathing heavily, you feel your heart pounding hard against your chest. As you look to face the monster who had tickled you, you're met with ruby pink eyes. White fluffy hair framed his cheeks and neatly placed bangs cover his forehead. His long lashes make his eyes stand out more, but the thing that caught your attention the most is the two long pink rabbit ears sticking out from his head. You reach up, grabbing one of the ears and tugging down on them. Thinking that the texture would be fluffy, you're surprised by how they actually feel like fabric.
The young man sighs and smiles at you with a loving smile, cupping your cheek with his had, "Good morning my sunshine." his thumb rubs gently across your cheek in a soothing manner. You lean in into the touch and appreciate the warmth coming from his hand.
A light blush dusts your cheeks and your heart's speed picks up once again. You never had a nickname given to you before by a charming guy before, but you're not complaining. Your eyes glance around the new area you're in. The walls are a light cream color and various pictures are hung up on the wall. All of them are either of you or the man in front of you, but some of them throw you off. On the wall, you can see some photos of you as a child but another person is with you in them. A boy with pink hair and big fluffy bunny ears? He has the same ruby pink eyes as the man before you too.
Processing the different photos, you instantly remember who this is 'Ah...so this must be...Vincent, right?' you think to yourself as your attention goes back to him. He's another character from the same person who made Yuuto, but you aren't quite sure of the exact details about how he's a yandere. From what you knew looking through the drawings and short stories about him, he's some magical stuffed plush rabbit that's able to make himself look like a human. Being a big sucker for his owner, he constantly dotes and adores them while also providing comfort and care like a guardian.
You know he's more affectionate towards whoever owned him since he actually grew up with his owner by changing his appearance to appear around the age closest to them, you can tell that person is now you. It's a bit strange though, waking up thinking you've woken from a weird dream. But to find out from waking up from the second dream, you're stuck in another dream. Feeling the warmth on your cheek leave, you watch Vincent excuse himself as he heads out the room. But before he closes the white door, he peaks his head out and looks over to you.
"I'm going to get our things ready so we can head out, so you can change out of your pajamas. MAKE SURE you don't forget your phone this time and turn off the ceiling fan and other electronics in your room. I'll brush your hair today if you'd like, but also make sure that you fix your bed before we leave. Okay, love you!" Vincent says as his head ducks back behind the door and a soft 'click' follows shortly after.
'He feels more like a mom than a guardian...'
Pushing some of the pillows around you away and the small stuffed animals on the bed, you notice how busy the room is. Besides the pictures, there's a bookshelf that has two rows filled with thick binders. On the spine of each one it has your name neatly written vertically on it and a number. Walking over to the bookcase, you pull out one of the binders and almost drop it. The weight of the book is much heavier than you expected, but you grab one side and pull it open. Inside you find even more photos and a couple of duplicates that look like the ones on wall except. There's little scribbles on each photo that has the date they were taken, a number you're guessing that's your age at the time, and context on what's happening in the picture.
'(Y/N)'s 7th birthday....(Y/N) and Vincent visiting grandma....(Y/N) at the beach...(Y/N) and her mother...'
The more you look through the photos, the more you notice the lack of other people appearing in them. There is some that have random people in the background but you, Vincent, and only your family members are prominent subjects in each one. Except all of the photos always have you in it. No other people are in the photos which you find strange. You thought that there could be some pictures of you with your few close friends or classmates from your time in school, but those seem to be completely absent. There's even a few embarrassing ones where your face is making weird expressions. One of them looks like you're even about to sneeze. Eyes squinted and face scrunched up, your posture is upright as it looks like you're going to let out a loud one. Even the description says that you're about to sneeze. Another one is where your eyes are slightly open to the point where it looks like you're drunk, but you're clearly asleep. Promptly closing it, you place the binder back where you got it.
Looking around you spot a big white drawer. Walking over to it and pulling the drawer open, neat rows of clothes are placed inside. When you reach in to take a shirt, you can see that each stack is an outfit. Shirts and sweaters are neatly folded but jeans, pants, skirts, or shorts are placed underneath each one like a surprise. Usually each drawer would have a compartment that just has one type of clothing but it looks like the life you live in this world is already planned out for you. None of the outfits and combinations are clothes you aren't familiar with or dislike and most of them are the combinations you like to wear often. The top drawer had your underwear in it, the second had the clothes you wear the most, the third had more outfits that you liked to wear, the fourth had your favorite shirts, sweaters, and bottoms to sleep or laze around home in, and the fifth had a special theme. Inside you found the clothes of a child. They're way too small for you and they're abundant.
"Were these mine?" you take out a small dress and unfold it. The creases from the way it was folded stays prominent even unfolded which tells you how long it has been since someone last used them. It's a bright red pinafore dress and there's a small pocket on the front of the overall like dress. What is underneath the dress is a white long sleeved shirt with small ruffles lining the edge of the cuffs. The outfit is quite cute you think. Draping the pinafore dress over your forearm, you search through the photos on the wall to see if you wore the outfit in one of them. But before you could find it, the pinafore slips off from your arm and falls down. A small slip of baby pink paper falls out from the front pocket. You pick it up to read what's on it.
Last worn: age seven

[In11] Reading Headcanons
These days are being really stressful at work so I’ve been writting this to relax a little.
One of my favourite things are books. I really like reading so I decide to write what I think that would be the Inazuma character’s habits on reading and their favorite books. Only Original Series because I don’t feel like I really know the Ares/Orion ones.
I’d love if more people share their headcanons about this topic even if they aren’t the same as me!! Spread the love for books and reading.
[Inazuma Eleven] Headcanons on Books and Reading
Afuro Terumi:  He likes to read in general, although what he enjoys most is not books as such but Legends and Myths from different parts of the world. Especially from Greek mythology, two works of this style fascinate him "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". You can ask him any questions about a hero or god and he will know the answer without hesitation. 
Choi Chang Shoo: He loves to read and cultivate his mind. He reads a lot of Asian literature, he actually reads a lot of everything. His favorite book is "The Art of War".
Edgar Valtinas: He really likes to read, and tell people how much he reads making criticism that nobody asks for about his last literary acquisition. If it is boring and convoluted, he likes it more. Reading pompous things that he can proudly show off even if they are complex reading. "Pride and Prejudice" is his favorite work. He also likes "Les Miserables" and "The Count of Monte Cristo".
Domon Asuka:  He does not dislike reading, although they are light and often humorous things, for times when he wants to do something different, even outdoors. He likes light novels and comics. A light novel that he likes a lot is "The devil is a part-timer!".
Dylan Keith: "War of the Worlds", the best work ever conceived. Normally what he reads are usually comics, the more related to alien invasions or zombies, the better. In any case he is a slow reader and prefers to watch movies or series.
Endou Mamoru: He doesn't like to read, he prefers to use his time to training and playing football. The only thing he sees reading for his own pleasure are his grandfather's notebooks and football magazines.
Fidio Ardena: He likes to read, he tries to combine it with the rest of his obligations and hobbies, he seeks to read every day although sometimes he can't, but on the weekend he will always take out even an hour to read. He really likes Italian literature and his favorite work is "Scaramouche" and "The Name of the Rose".
Fubuki Shirou: He likes to read from time to time, although when he picks up a book he has the need to finish it, the stories that have a happy ending are his favorites, especially romantic and cloying stories. Sadly it seems that almost all romantic classics do not have a very happy ending. So he goes more to youth books in that sector and ends up reading things like "Twilight". Since Fuyuka likes the same books, it is often common that after reading a book they exchange their opinions animatedly.
Fudou Akio: He likes to read for a while before going to bed, although he doesn't spend much time he is a fast reader. His favorite books are of the black and horror novel genre, fond of the novels of Agatha Cristie and Edgar Allan Poe, "The Crimes of Morgue Street" is his favorite. He also reads the works of Lovecraft and likes "The Hound of the Baskervilles". He doesn’t despise comics with a serious plot, he is a fan of "Death Note" and "Monster". In the morning he wonders why he has disturbing dreams.
Genda Koujirou:  He doesn't mind reading, but he doesn't like it that much either. From time to time he picks up a book if it catches his attention, he lets himself be carried away by the titles and the color of the cover. Of course, after Sakuma reads a book, he will also do so to be able to comment with the other boy. The only books he reads because he likes them are western books, his favorites are "Warlock" and "Desert Centaurs".
Gouenji Shuuya:  He doesn't like to read at all. He blames his father forcing him to read a lot as a child thinking that would make him smarter. The only thing he reads are children's books that he reads to his sister before bedtime and of course, on a personal level he doesn't like them at all. Although the story of "The Lion King" causes his eyes to swell.
Handa Shinichi: As you would expect from a normal person, Handa likes to read normally. Neither too much nor too little He does not have a favorite novel, everything passes without grief or glory to him. Read much more outreach books or guide books or keys to achieve different goals, such as "Super powers of success for normal people".
Hijikata Raiden: He loves to read his sibblings, although he doesn't have time to read for himself, he doesn't care much. He loves children's literature and really enjoys telling and even setting up the stories. Sometimes even he invents stories in which of course, his sibblings are the protagonists. It is not uncommon for existing stories to change the names of the protagonists so that their siblings feel more identified. Every day it's up to one of them to shine. His favorite is "Peter Pan" because of the number of children that appear.
Ichinose Kazuya: He likes to read things with a lot of deep and from which something can be learned. He does not care if the novel does not give an excessively happy ending, the drama does not bother him. He likes works like "The Great Gatsby", "The Lord of the Flies" and "Kill a Mockingbird".

Irreversible Reaction (BO Shizuma ranking)
Black Order Shizuma is so friggin’ badass
Tumblr media
In the Black Order parallel world, Shizuma is also a researcher/scientist. He has developed the Quartz Engine, a machine that can use the power of omoi to open a “gate” to another world. As such, he plays a pivotal role in Black Order’s plans to reach their utopia, the “New World”.
Takuya and Yuki are drawn back to the Black Order world through the power of omoi. Shizuma wants to capture them as they have powerful omoi, but they are saved by none other than Reina and Jin. Jin betrayed the Black Order after Reina showed him hope was possible without sacrifice. Now he is working together with his granddaughter from the future to take down the Order.
Tumblr media
Jin acknowledges he did try to capture Takuya and Yuki on behalf of Black Order in the past. But he was trying to fulfil his goals the only way he knew how back then.
Reina explains that Shizuma’s gate works by connecting to worlds with strong omoi. To successfully complete the gate, Black Order are willing to sacrifice everyone in this world. Reina and Jin want to rescue the people Black Order have captured, while Takuya and Yuki need the gate to return to their own world. They agree to cooperate to take down Shizuma. 
Takuya and Yuki split up with Reina and Jin. However, they are soon ambushed by Black Order Kotone. After fighting her, Yuki sees her memories. Just like Shizuma and Kotone were part of the same Team Celion in their world, Black Order Shizuma found a companion in Black Order Kotone here too. Both joined the Order to help people important to them. 
Tumblr media
"Black Order’s philosophy is to make wishes come true with the power of omoi. I’m not sure how trustworthy they are, but I’ll do anything I can."
Yuki and Takuya manage to defeat Kotone, however they are soon surrounded by more of the Black Order henchmen. The situation looks bleak, but suddenly they are saved by someone from Reina’s group. The newcomer shoots the henchmen, creating an opening for Takuya and Yuki to escape. 
Takuya and Yuki run off but Kotone realises something interesting about the newcomer’s omoi. It seems he has a special connection to Takuya and Yuki.
Tumblr media
Yuuto: "I don’t intend to talk to those two right now. I’m not interested in my roots. I’m just here to take you guys down to save our world."
Meanwhile, Yuki reflects on the memory she saw. Black Order Shizuma in the past seemed just as kind as the Shizuma from their world, even having the same affection for Satoru and Hazuki. And yet, why is he so different now? 
Tumblr media
"It doesn’t feel like something’s changed. It feels more like something’s disappeared..."
Btw, Geek and Alpha get a cameo too, even though they don’t meet directly with Takuya and Yuki. They’ve created some parallel world gadget thing to use on the gate. 
Tumblr media
"We won’t meet this time, but I’ll still be fighting beside you. So don’t you dare lose to the Black Order, Takuya!"
The plan now is for Takuya and Yuki to head for Shizuma, while Jin and Reina release the prisoners. Once they defeat Shizuma, Takuya and Yuki can use the gate to return to their world, after which Geek and the others will destroy it. In the resulting chaos, Reina and co. will make their escape with the prisoners.
In the final fight with Shizuma, the memories we see reveal the tragic truth.
Kotone comes to Shizuma’s laboratory day after day hoping to help him with his research. Shizuma has found an ore that can turn omoi into energy. Kotone wants to learn more about ores. She wants to hurry up and grow up so she can be helpful to the people important to her. Shizuma explains that just like ores, humans need a long time to grow. Without time, a child will never be an adult. It is not something that can be rushed.
Some time later, Shizuma becomes head of the research department, with a whole team under him to test out the Quartz Engine. However everyone who goes near it has something strange happen to their memories and mentality. Shizuma decides to try the machine himself, and expose himself to the omoi of the gate. Kotone volunteers to go with him. After all, two is better than one. Shizuma can’t guarantee her safety, but Kotone insists.
Shizuma starts the engine. Immediately he gets a splitting headache, and realises this was the mental assault his employees were subjected to. Unfortunately, Kotone isn’t faring much better. But the two persist, fighting for those people who are important to them.  After what seems like an eternity, the pain subsides. The two survive the ordeal. The experiment is a success. But as Shizuma steps out, he can’t help wondering: what was it that he had wished for?
No matter how hard he tries, he is unable to remember. The frustration gnaws at him. It was so important to him, how could he forget? But it’s ok. Black Order is all about reaching the world where dreams come true. If he can do that, surely he’ll be able to regain what was forgotten.
Tumblr media
For my cause, I will sacrifice everything...!
Meanwhile, Jin and Reina succeed in rescuing all the prisoners. 
Jin once thought that it was impossible to have peace without sacrifice. But now Reina has helped him see things are different. Perhaps, he’s even become a little bit of a hero.
Reina says he’s also been a huge help, especially with his knowledge of omoi-controlling techniques.
Yuuto interrupts the party. 
Tumblr media
Yuuto: “It’s not over yet. We may have won against Black Order now, but our focus is not this world, it’s saving our world.”
Reina: "But Yuuto, what are you talking about? Aren’t you the one who came from a different world to help us?”
Yuuto: “That’s because I have a contract to fulfil...”
Shizuma’s gate has been hacked by Geek. The Quartz Engine suffers a fatal error and the gate is destroyed. Furthermore all the prisoners whose omoi they were using to power the engine have escaped. To make matters worse, big boss Yoshiaki is here to inspect their work. Is this the end of their research?
Tumblr media
Oh, hi boss.
Shizuma is surprisingly calm. First, the engine can run on the emergency back-up system. Next, he shoots the messenger: there’s still fresh omoi. Additionally, it shouldn’t take long to fix the engine if everyone works on it without rest. Finally, the battle just now gave him some very useful data. Overall, he’d say the outcome was a net positive.
Tumblr media
"The world where dreams come true is almost within our grasp. Everything is for the sake of the Black Order"
Cool things
Everything in the BO universe is finally coming together. All the big players in this world make an appearance. Geek and Alpha even get a cameo, even though they don’t do anything in this particular quest (and they acknowledge that too). This drives home the message that even in a different world, Takuya and Yuki are not alone because of the bonds they’ve made. 
Black Order seems closely tied to the Future series, and it looks like the focus will eventually shift to saving Reina’s world
Yuuto’s connection to Takuya and Yuki is the huge elephant in the room. Just look at that veeery familiar triangle around his neck, not to mention his veeery familiar dedication to contracts…
Something less obvious I’ve noticed is that even though Shizuma doesn’t remember his wish to save Satoru and Hazuki, Kotone clearly does remember Souma. Is it a coincidence? Is it because of the bond between her and Souma? Or is it more because of Souma’s unique position in relation to parallel worlds?
Also interesting to compare this to Satoru and Hazuki’s relation to parallel worlds. Satoru researched the parallel worlds to the point he lost his sense of self. Hazuki only accessed parallel worlds with the Hanged Man tarot in order to erase every version herself. Meanwhile, after traversing multiple worlds, Souma stays true to his identity and desire to “live on”.
The Quartz Engine’s mental assaults are the result of its users making contact with parallel worlds. This very likely takes the same form as the energy waves around Lost in World 1, whose side effects also included splitting headaches and memory loss.
It wasn’t long ago that we saw a similar Shizuma conducting experiments on himself in order to save Satoru and Hazuki, to the point of creating a miracle. This BO variant really drives home how far Shizuma will go for the sake of his goals.

Note
you should tell us abt ur fangan kids!
ive been meaning to answer this but itz long so i wanted to put it under a cut!!
hibiki (he/they) is the ultimate demolitionist! i cant draw but his design and whole aesthetic is literally just. minecraft creepercore. they’re 4′10″, they wear full-eye black contacts bc Crepper Aesthetic, and he just. likes to blow shit up. he’s the rival in my group killing game and i love him SO much
yuri (he/him) is 100% my kinnie oc as the ultimate camp counselor. despite being very good at what he does (duh), he hates it. the responsibility of having to maintain the fun and safety of a bunch of kids is shaving years off his lifespan. and, amazingly for him, he immediately gets assigned Group Dad against his will during the killing game. he also carries at least four fanny packs at all times, each containing snacks and capri suns, first aid supplies, arts and craft supplies, and a fucking tazer (which he usually threatens to use against hibiki). 
kimi (she/her) is the ultimate candy maker! her entire aesthetic is cotton candy, in which her hair is dyed blue and pink, she likes soft, puffy clothing, and she’s just a really sweet (ha) person in general! she gets along with most all of her classmates bar a few. she has lesbian disease also
miyah (she/her) is the ultimate witch, which sounds really cool, until she opens her mouth and you realize she’s the crystal-wielding, essential oil-drinking, anti vax queen you were warned about. she’s very sweet and very soft spoken, and genuinely tries to be kind to everyone, but she’s very much a you love her or hate her kind of personality.
koya (they/them) is the ultimate swashbuckler! swashbucklers are a hero archetype defined by flamboyant movement, sword-wielding, chivalry, and daring adventures. koya is a sea-faring spirit, and they fill their time in the killing game enthralling the others with stories of grandeur and convincing all of their classmates that they are a legit pirate. koya is a liar, they exaggerate…a lot, but their intentions are not malicious and their tales just come out a bit more romantic than they actually happened. they’re very charming and laid back, and they’re definitely the sort of heartthrob character that everyone wants to smooch. 
chieko (they/them) is the ultimate girl gang leader, and they are also ultimate lesbian. they’re sort of isolated from the rest of the group due to their talent being considered scary, and their very intense and intimidating appearance and personality. they’re major concern is to escape the killing game and find their way back to their girls (they say as much, which makes everyone VERY suspicious!) but they wouldnt hurt anyone and they end up becoming best friends with yuri and masako (who i’ve lovingly dubbed the parent squad of this class)
speaking of masako (she/they), she is the ultimate investigative journalist, and this killing game’s trial helper! she is very well traveled, and takes what she does very seriously. they are completely and utterly devoted to the truth, good or bad, they will find the truth. they absolutely detest koya for this reason; even little lies absolutely grind masako’s gears. she also is very distrustful, and she doesn’t trust anyone at the onset of the killing game. it takes her a long time to warm up enough to the protag to share her findings during investigations, and she often comes across as somewhat of a rival during trials due to her critical nature and the way she very blatantly does not trust those around her. nevertheless, later on she is (against her will) forced into the Parent Squad with chieko and yuri, and though she doesn’t trust anyone else, she will do everything in her power to keep more killings from happening. 
daichi (he/him) is the ultimate superhero, and he was the first dr oc i actually made!! he’s very much a pretty boy (fluffy blonde hair, pink eyes, freckles, he’s just Cute) and he and hibiki start dating during the killing game! he’s sort of a bastard and won’t give anyone a straight answer on what his superpowers actually are, but despite his kind, cheeky nature, he feels a deep sense of responsibility and guilt over not being able to do anything about the killing game. he is one of the more likely people to go snooping for the mastermind, and he’s gotten in physical fights more than once with people he deems suspicious. 
hirohito (he/him) is the ultimate joggler and he’s the greatest character of all time. what is joggling, you ask? don’t worry, he’ll tell you. i came across this while looking for talent ideas, and i laughed so hard i cried when i conceptualized this fiend. he’s very much the token joke character, he’s a hot head, and he’s kind of a dick, but the idea of hope’s peak allowing the ultimate person who can juggle and jog at the same time into their doors is just too hilarious to pass up. protag joggler 4 life
speaking of people who are kind of dicks, meet yuuto (he/him), the ultimate dancer. he’s such a hot head. he hates the most of his classmates out of any other character, including the mastermind. he’s dating the protag, who is one of like…four people he actually likes in his class. yuuto takes his talent very seriously, and spends hours every day working to maintain his status as the best of the best. his talent comes before everything else (or, at least, it did), but if his talent comes first, then the people he cares about take up every other place on the list. he doesn’t tolerate many people, but those he does, he is fiercely loyal towards. he would kill and die for the people he cares about. he is 5′2″ of pure kickass, and he will throw everything he has into defending the people he loves. i lvoe him.
michiko (she/her) is the ultimate influencer (yeah. i know). she’s an internet personality who has followings on instagram, twitter, youtube, tiktok, et cetera. she is also one of my earlier oc designs, and i’m kind of attached to her lol. she’s very naturally magnetic and has a lot of friends among her classmates, but she does have a tendency to get hung up on things like follower counts, conventional beauty, and wealth. she has a huge (mutual!) crush on koya, she’s best friends with hibiki, and she has an intense fear of swimming pools (her hair is dyed, and chlorine is way bad for dyed hair)
leeanne (she/her) is the only non-japanese character, and i. she’s a mess. she’s the ultimate theatre kid, and she’s basically every broadway tumblr user when h*milton was super popular. she complains about musical bootlegs, becries her classmates for not knowing anything about the musicals she stans, and she’s just. lord. obviously she’s a joke character, and she’s honestly a caricature of the kind of shit i got up to (to a degree! don’t call me out sdkjdsjbd) when i was 15 years old. suffice to say, none of her classmates like her very much
tomoya (he/him) is the obligatory ultimate ???, and also our trial ruiner! he earns the distrust of his entire class by keeping his talent a secret and then having it revealed by masako, and as a result he is very outcasted and lonely among his peers. he’s a naturally very reserved person, and his situation lends him to feeling very lonely. most of the class suspect him to be the mastermind – whether they’re right or not, only time will tell. 
katsumi (she/her) is 1/3 of what i’ve dubbed the Showbiz Squad as the ultimate pageant queen! she’s been participating in and winning beauty pageants since she was very young, and she’s won all the way up through the pageant ranks. as one would expect she’s very beautiful, and she’s also very bright and charismatic, which lends itself well to gaining allies in the killing game. she is by and large very fake, though, and she operates as a mini antagonist for various reasons. 
hikaru (he/him) is another third of the Showbiz Squad, as the ultimate game show host! he’s very ostentatious and charismatic; he’s always ‘on,’ always playing the gracious, enthusiastic host. there’s always a smile and a flashy, charming quip in his mouth, so he can wear very gratingly on the less enthusiastic and personable kids. he definitely would be a tumblr sexyman if he were an actual dr character {sweating emoji]. despite the crowd he seems to gather wherever he goes, no one knows much about him; and he likes to keep it that way. 
and finally, the last third of the Showbiz Squad, and also the protagonist: hachi (he/they), the ultimate child star! as their talent would indicate, hachi was a child star, and he absolutely detests the showbusiness world as a result. he really dislike pretty much…everyone who represents that part of his past (katsumi, hikaru, and michiko are prime examples) and his least favorite thing is getting the question: “omg where you in ___?” they’re very emotionally and physically fatigued by all the bullshit going on around them, so they come across as fairly apathetic to most people. but in actuality, hachi is someone who craves stability and kindness, and their extremely blunt, extremely annoyed exterior hides a very soft, compassionate interior. i absolutely adore this character :D
and umm thats it for my kids! i (for the most part?) have all of the killers/victims worked out, i have my mastermind all planned, but i’m still working on a setting/obligatory extra mono-creature/how this group falls within the dr canon. i love talking about these guys so if ur interest in them pwease send me asks/messages about them 🥺

Path of Lightning: Origins chapter 9: Welcome to Aether part 2.
Chapter summary: Aiko shows Liz around.
Word count: 1.8 k words.
Read chapter on wattpad.
Chapter:
"So, what is your job here? You don't strike me as a fighter." Liz said as she walked along Aiko. She was showing her the place.
Some hallways seemed like they would never end, but she liked the theme the place had going on. The chocolate colored walls and the lamps attached to them reminded her of castles that she would see in movies.
"I make sure to check on everyone's penergy and help them with it. Penergy is tricky, so there are times where it could be dangerous to its owner if it's not monitored." Aiko answered, with a smile. "I don't really work here though. I work as a high school teacher."
Liz just met this woman, but from her first impression of her, she felt sorry for the poor kids she teaches.
"How is it tricky? I never had trouble with my powers." Liz asked, shoving her hands into her pockets. Her sleeves were long enough to cover all of her arms, but she still felt anxious about her veins popping out of nowhere and someone catching a glimpse of them.
"Penergy is complicated. Not everyone can control it easily. Sometimes it's even related to whatever trauma that unlocked it." The teacher explained, making the blonde feel more confused.
"What trauma? I never had one. I was able to use my powers for as long as I remember." Liz said. She did not remember anything traumatic, her first kill maybe? No, she already had powers at that time.
"Then you're one of the rare cases. Some are more gifted than others and are talented at a young age. The penergy usually unlocks itself when the person goes through a traumatizing event or is near death." Aiko explained. "Other cases, it could be due to a different strong emotion."
"What unlocked yours?" The woman only shrugged in response.
"You could say I'm gifted like you." She said then walked into a room. The room was separated into two halves, separated by a large window and a door. There was a computer in the first half, along with a few chairs on the side and a snack machine.
The blonde raised her eyebrow. Was this supposed to be a waiting room or what?
In the second half, there was a guy fighting in what looked like a forest.
"This is our training room. What you see right now is a simulation, you can choose whatever environment you want to train in, and how many enemies you want to fight. Looks pretty real, right?" Aiko explained with a wink.
"Wow..." Was all that Liz could say. She couldn't wait to use it. This place was the real deal, no training in the streets could come close to training in harsh environments. She didn't pay attention to the guy, but more to the computer and the complicated codes it had.
"It operates using some life penergy, which helps the environment feel real. You can interact with whatever is there."
Liz was about to ask more questions, but was interrupted when she heard a grunt, and watched the guy leave the room defeated.
The half he was in turned into a white and empty room. He noticed them the moment he walked through the door. "Oh, hi." He said, feeling embarrassed.
He wore a blue scarf on top of a green shirt. His hair was short, black and spiky, while his eyes were brown. He was pretty tall too.
"I see you're pushing yourself harder than usual, Yuki." Aiko said with a smile. "Are you trying to impress someone?" She teased him, knowing that he had his eyes on someone.
"Please stop embarrassing me." Yuki pouted. He then saw Liz and gave her a friendly smile. "Hi, are you new here? I am Yuki, nice to meet you." He had a friendly air around him, and the blonde found herself smiling back.
"I am Liz, nice to meet you too." Liz said and took a good look at him. He looked a bit older than her, maybe two or three years.
"I have to leave now. I'm feeling pretty hungry." He said and waved at them as he left the room.
Aiko then showed her the library, the cafeteria... Liz was left speechless because of how amazing the place was. Despite how much the woman showed her, they still haven't covered half the building. She was a bit overwhelmed, considering that the apartment she used to live in was small.
"New members can get their own rooms here, if they don't have their own place." Aiko said, showing her the dorms. "You have to pay for the rent though."
Checking her pockets, the blonde looked back at her with a frown. "Oh, well I'm broke. I guess I could find a job or something." The glint in Aiko's eyes worried her.
"I'll pay you if you let me study your energy. You will be my number one subject!" Aiko stated and smirked.
"Subject?!" Liz exclaimed and took a step back. "She's even scarier than her sister." She thought. "Can you just show me my room?"
"Sure thing!" Aiko said and guided her.
After finally getting rid of Aiko, Liz threw herself on the comfortable bed in her new room. It didn't take her long to unpack, especially since she didn't have a lot of stuff on her.
She made sure to place Jack's knives on the desk, wanting to keep it in her sight.
Looking at the roof, her thoughts couldn't help but wander to him.
"This is a new start, Jack." She said and closed her eyes. "I hope this is what you wanted."
Meanwhile, Aiko stopped by the cafeteria and saw her sister sitting in a table on her own. She smirked when she noticed that the murderous look was still there. "Why is my little adorable sister so upset?" She sat beside her.
"Don't call me that." Nosaru said and crossed her arms. "And I'm not upset." She was upset, but there was no way she would admit. What was her father thinking? That girl was a mercenary who almost killed her... Then again, it was her who attacked first, and was close to finishing her off.
"You look like you're about to kill someone."
"Maybe because I do want to kill someone." Nosaru answered. "Can you believe that our father decided to give me a partner out of the blue?"
"Blue..." Aiko snorted and glanced at her sister's blue hair. "I agree with his decision."
"You always take his side." The youngest sister complained.
"You've been acting recklessly lately, and you're also too... introverted. When was the last time you actually talked with someone?" Aiko asked and pretended not to see the glare her sister gave her.
"I talk to you."
"Talking to your crazy sister doesn't count." Aiko said while her sister looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"You just admitted that you are crazy..." Nosaru stated, but of course, she got ignored.
"So, who is your lucky or should I say unlucky partner?"
"Her name is Liz. She's a new member. She's one of the mercenaries from months ago." Nosaru stated while her sister froze at the name.
"Oh my..." Aiko said and started laughing. "What an interesting combination! I met her earlier!" She made sure not to mention that her sister's partner was a demon... Her phone's ringing stopped her laughter. She answered it and was met by her brother's loud voice.
"Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis! Where are you? You're supposed to come to school!" Ryu said. It took Aiko half a minute to realize what this meant and her eyes widened.
"I'll be right there!" Aiko said and quickly hung up. "The school has an occasion and parents need to be there." She put her phone down and avoided eye contact with her sister.
"You forgot it, didn't you?" Nosaru asked with an accusing stare.
Aiko stared at her silently then ran away.
She totally forgot about it.
                                              -P.O.L: Origins-
The next day, Liz was eating breakfast in the cafeteria. She didn't know anyone yet, so she decided to sit alone. She had to admit that while the food was not as good as Romeo's cooking, it still tasted amazing. She stopped eating when she noticed Yuki taking a seat across her.
"Good morning!" He greeted her with a warm smile.
"Good morning!" She said then took a moment to recollect her thoughts. "Your name is... Yuuto, right?"
"Not even close. It's Yuki!" He said, chuckling at the strange name she gave him. "I thought you might be lonely, it's always hard to fit in at first. I hope I'm not bothering you."
"Not at all. Thanks!" She said. Silence fell on them for few minutes. "So, what are your powers?" She asked.
"I have ice powers." He said and clasped his hands together, creating a small ice bird statue. Liz stared at it in wonder, it was beautiful. "What's yours?" He asked back.
"Oh, nothing special. I can summon weapons, but only the melee ones." She said. "I totally don't have any demon powers or anything..." She thought and tried not to look too nervous. "I was a mercenary before this, so..." She stopped, realizing that she shouldn't have shared that last bit of information.
"I think that's pretty cool!" He said, and she was relieved that he didn't comment on her old job. "Summoning is really hard. I am an element user, so I depend on my Ice, however, those who summon rely on their body strength and speed. I admire that."
"Thanks. It can be hard at first, but after few times, it's super easy." She smiled, feeling that this could be the start of a good friendship. She always had Jack and Romeo, so she never thought about making friends.
Not like anyone would want to befriend a demon.
She shook her head at that thought. She then felt someone's stare burning holes into her back. She turned and noticed her 'partner' glaring at her and mentioning for her to come over.
"Uh, I have to go." She said, gulping.
"Oh, I'll see you later?" Yuki asked. Liz looked at him for a moment, surprised.
"You bet." She told him with a smile, before running towards the girl. "Hey." She greeted her, and Nosaru stared at her for a moment, before answering her.
"We're going on a mission."
Next chapter: The end, Copy cat, and the sand man!

Zi-O 39: Team Den-O... has arrived!
Insert Den-O Shenanagins here~~!
Zi-O Episode 39 liveblog under the cut~
~
So, Grand Zi-O can just. Summon the Legend Riders themselves out of some point in time by pressing their statues. This is fine.
And it’s almost definitely summoning them, because while Build and Kuuga had their general Rider Kicks going… OOO was lifted directly from Episode 3, one of the few times he used the Tatoba Scanning Charge Kick. You can tell because of the broken columns that showed up with him – he kicked straight through them in the episode, and they’re here again.
… Actually… That was the moment that the OOO arc showed Eiji losing his powers. Him landing on the ground after that specific kick, without the yummy in sight.
HUH.
Also, pressing the statues to trigger the summon makes their emblems show up, which is a nice touch.
Hi Deneb! Hi Yuuto! I’m only just starting Den-O, so it’s going to be a while before I get to you, but I liked you in the Rider 4 special, so I’ll probably like you back in your home series, and here!
I can’t say I blame you for being concerned about that power, either. Grand sure is something.
We have a Woz Speech! IWAE! For he is now UNSTOPPABLE!
Wait. Unstoppable?
WOZ, DON’T TEMPT FATE LIKE THAT! You have just triggered the flag that will make this go very, very poorly!
Either Sougo starts going Bad because of this, or…
Well.
Final Forms in Phase Two Rider usually come about after a very specific circumstance. A very unpleasant circumstance.
…dying. I’m saying they usually come into existence after/because the rider dies.
I can’t even exclude Wizard and OOO from that, either. Haruto got Infinity after basically forcing his phantom back to life after it had been killed. And Eiji… well, I hold that his final form as OOO is Tajador, because screw the dinosaur medals, but Tajador is inherently a boyfriend form when he teams up with Ankh. And we can’t have that happen unless we get Ankh BACK.
(I HAVE seen this episode raw, as it aired, but Zi-O IS an arc-based show, so we don’t know what’s gonna happen in two weeks to keep the pattern going~)
~
Woz has officially skipped from accidentally spoiling by reading a sentence ahead, and is just showing us the spoilers now. Time travel, man.
Woz: “Oh, whoops, were you reading over my shoulder? Never mind all that.”
Woz: “Anyway, let’s go back a few days, to when we’ve still got two watches left...”
Me: “When’s the Drive Arc?!”
~
Poor Geiz and Tsukuyomi. First they come across this random train, crashed in a construction lot. Then four monsters come out – and start arguing with eachother. You know, as Imajins are prone to doing. And then they go to ‘ask the locals for help.’ Because that’s such a good idea, Urataros.
HEY. URATAROS.
DO NOT HIT ON TSUKUYOMI.
BAD TURTLE.
YOU’RE GROUNDED.
(I have literally two episodes with you under my belt and I’m already fed up with the constant flirting and lying. This does not bode well for my Den-O experience.)
Woz: (stops time to recap)
Woz: “And then there’s these assholes.”
… You know, intellectually, I knew that the clock in Woz’s Recap Vault was the one they used for Cronus back in Ex-Aid. But knowing that, and finally seeing that they didn’t even bother filling in the weapon icons that are in the ‘interior’ circle…
Toei, please. I know that usually Woz is in front of that side, so it would usually go unnoticed, but… come ON. If you’re going to repaint the thing, at least put something over that very distinctive part of the face.
~
Aw, drat, there isn’t enough of OOO visible in the opening of the OP to see if the columns are there. If we could tell, then that Twenty Years of Rider Kicks Vault could be the ‘and you thought this was just a flashy part of the opening’ callback at the end of the season.
(Can’t see him in the ‘everyone completes their frozen kicks after Zi-O and Geiz go by’ segment, either, at the “we’ll slip through the raindrops of time, together” line. DRAT.)
~
UNCLE TOKIWA. You need to start questioning things more. Although him assuming that the Imajin are Oni because of Sougo’s ‘important oni friend’ is actually really clever.
Geiz and Tsukuyomi are just so tired, they must have had to wrangle these four dorks over here… and said dorks want Uncle Tokiwa to repair the Den-Liner.
The train.
This poor old man. He just wanted to fix clocks for a living, is that so wrong?
...Well, Urataros isn’t quite lying, I guess? I mean, a time traveling train is clock… adjacent. Technically.
AND THEN RYUTAROS IGNORES HIS PROTESTS. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE PURPLE DRAGON KID DOES, APPARENTLY.
AND JUST HOPS ON IN.
THIS IS FINE.
And proceeds to literally lead the imajin in a conga line out of the shop.
This is a thing that is actually happening.
Nobody knows what to think, least of all Sougo.
Woz: “…I’m really sorry… these four idiots are our lead to the next watch…”
Sougo: “I have more pRESSING CONCERNS RIGHT NOW!”
Geiz and Tsukuyomi: (are exhausted)
~
Okay, first off, Heure, Hora, you didn’t actually need to stop time for this conversation. There wasn’t anyone around as it was.
Second, thank you for reiterating the ‘two watches left’ comment. It’s a bit redundant, but my reiterating my “where’s my Drive Arc” comment is too, so. Y’know.
Third…
I’m really glad that Heure, at least, is noticing that this is too easy. That something is leading the other riders to him.
(It’s Swartz. I’m telling you, he’s got ulterior motives, that nobody is going to like. It’s Swartz.)
Pity that Hora doesn’t seem to care.
(You two need to GET AWAY FROM THE MAN IN PURPLE. He has nobody’s best interests in mind, including yours! GET OUT OF THERE!)
~
Victim of the week time!
Coming up to a grave… Angry guy in hoodie says that the guy in a button-up shouldn’t be there. That he’s the reason his (hoodies) sister is dead. So, Button-up’s probably the late sister’s boyfriend, then.
Hoodie chases Button-up off, and is approached by Hora, who offers him a chance at revenge. She promptly shoves a watch in him, turning him into Another Den-O.
…So, since we’re getting a proper Den-O arc, with Another Den-O and everything… does this mean we can get proper arcs for W and Kuuga, too, or are they just stuck in the movie? Because I really want to know if Another Double was actually two guys, the way he sounded like he was. And Another Double’s design is SO cool, I just really want to see it actually interact with people.
Hora: “Come with me, we’re stealing a time-train.”
Another Den-O: just goes along with this
Button-up: TAKUYA’S A MONSTER WHAT DO?!
Small floating orb of light: it’s free real estate!
Button-up: sand everywhere
~
Back on the train…
It. Really does have more similarities to a clock than a train?!
This shouldn’t surprise me, but somehow it still does. It definitely confuses the heck out of Sougo, despite it being his clocksmith uncle saying that he can definitely do this.
...Said uncle then proceeds to imitate Ryuta’s dance moves. This is fine.
And then everything starts shaking, because OF COURSE Another Den-O is outside. Kudos on the train-track patterns to the energy projections in his attacks, though. That’s a nice attention to detail.
… his name and year are on his butt. On the little half-skirt he has, actually, but right over the butt.
This is ‘fine’.
Sougo: “Another Den-O? Okay, Trinity time, then, since we still don’t have this watch!”
At least he gave them a little warning. Not MUCH, but the guys WERE transformed this time, at least!
...Sougo, I know that the name and year are usually on the back, but were you actively checking out Another Den-O’s butt?
Sougo?
Sougo, I’m waiting for an answer.
Oh, no? Just gonna go fight? Okay then…
Except the Zeroliner says no, you’re not, because here it comes, cutting you off and dropping off Yuuto and Deneb!
:giggling: THEY DID THE ACTOR THING AGAIN!
Sougo: “?!?! Kiriya Kyosuke?”
(flashback with Hibiki sounds)
Yuuto: “Whomst?”
Sougo: ‘Have they started forgetting, again?’
So, Deneb brings a whole new meaning to ‘finger guns’, huh? Fair play isn’t exactly going to cut it with someone as potentially overpowered as Zi-O, especially when you’re trying to prevent him from becoming a terrible overlord.
Ooo! So the others CAN see out of their shoulderpads! Otherwise, Geiz wouldn’t have been able to key Sougo and Co in that Another Den-O was about to make a break for the train! (Yuuto, please stop distracting the boys, they do actually have a job to do outside of yoinking everyone’s powers)
Okay, good, Yuuto does agree that stopping the evil doppleganger from getting the magic train is probably a good idea. Pity that Hora then warps a de-transformed Takuya back out of there.
~
So… Deneb’s basically The Mom Friend to Yuuto, right? That’s the impression I’m getting, anyway. “Please make friends with Yuuto, he’s so lonely. He does it to himself, but I’ve been trying to break him of it since 2007. Here, have a candy!”
(MOM. FRIEND.)
Yuuto’s trying to stop Sougo from becoming Oma Zi-O – and we have confirmation once again that Geiz knows that this Zi-O never could. That Geiz still says he’ll take him out if he does.
Yuuto, much like me, doesn’t think he can, and is also determined to Stop Zi-O From Obtaining Grand.
(IT’S SO GAUDY someone PLEASE teach Sougo how to dress himself I BEG you)
(HE’S STILL WEARING AN OVERSIZED BELT UNDER HIS SHIRT. SOUGO PLEASE.)
Sougo has zero intentions of becoming anything but a beloved overlord… and Yuuto’s not having any of it.
Deneb: “I’m sorry about Yuuto, he has trouble interacting with people sometimes, gets a bit rude, please stay friends with him!” hands Sougo the basket of candy ‘Okay, bye~!”
Momo: “HI THERE! I’M HIJACKING YOUR FRIEND, DON’T MIND ME!”
That feeling when you realize that even if he were changing outfits, Momotaros wouldn’t have to do much of anything to make Geiz fit his aesthetic…
~
Uncle’s almost done fixing the train! He’s not so sure about it being a clock, but… well, he’s almost done! And. Is lifting. A giant gear. The width of his torso…
KINTAROS! He is an old man, and you’re always going on about how strong you are, aren’t you?! HELP HIM LIFT THAT!
Also, the picture Ryutaros drew is adorable and I hope that he lets Uncle Tokiwa keep it.
~
Momotaros: “Anyway, I’m here to take care of that little copycat problem. I’m insulted, he’s doing a terrible job of copying my look – ooh, some of Deneb’s candy? Thanks!”
Tsukuyomi runs off in hot pursuit – somehow not realizing that it’s not Geiz speaking. Momotaros, you should have actually used your name, for crying out loud. I get you’ve got an ego, but really.
Sougo… looks really hesitant and broody.  
He’s not sure about doing this anymore.
~
Meanwhile, apparently Button-up didn’t move in the last, like, hour since he was hit by that Imajin… who’s just a generic Mole Imajin. Lame, but fine. He asks him to help save Takuya. That’s so sweet of him! I mean, it’s going to backfire horribly, because Imajin, but still!
~
Sougo’s really quiet as he asks if Yuuto’s right – if getting all the RideWatches will grant him ultimate power. When Woz says it will, that he’ll be undefeatable…
Sougo just wants it so he can defeat Oma Zi-O. That’s the only reason he’s still gathering the watches.
Thanks for the flashback the completely brutal beating that Sougo took in episode 15! That didn’t hurt to watch again at all!
Woz: “To have power equal to Oma Zi-O’s would mean you can stand on equal ground with him. Only you are capable of that, my overlord.”
Sougo: “So I don’t have to have any doubt. I’m going to obtain that power.”
Sougo, you are raising all sorts of death flags here! Death of personality, death of moral compass, normal death, any one of these could happen! Please don’t do this to us.
~
Another Den-O is even carrying his sword like Momotaros does! Nice touch!
…Tsukuyomi, you need to start researching people as soon as you guys meet them. You saw Ryutaros take over Uncle Tokiwa, and apparently Momo’s told you he was Momotaros. And yet you still look super confused when he tells you again.
...and then she has to do Geiz’s transformation for Momotaros. This is shenanigans, pure and simple. And I love it.
MOMOTAROS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUNCH YOUR PALM WHEN YOU ARE HOLDING A BUZZ SAW.
And then here we go, Let’s Us And Them Fight time! We’ve got… Four teams, this time around? Another Den-O, the Mole Imajin, Team Zi-O (currently with special guest Momotaros), and Team Zeronos.
:rubs hands together:
LET’S DO THIS.
Trinity Time~!
Except for the part where Geiz isn’t home right now~ I guess it’s been a while since Momotaros has run into Tsukasa, because now he’s super confused about going through a form change again. To be fair, usually he’s just getting his own form – not getting turned into a watch and dropped into a Psychic Sentai Cockpit.
Momotaros, externally: “Aw, man, it was just getting good!”
Momotaros, internally: “Why can’t the reality warpers let us not feel these changes?!”
(I will never be over Final Form Rides, and neither will ANYONE who got pushed into them.)
So, in the Trinity Team Chat, Sougo and Woz are incredibly confused. Momotaros is there. Geiz is also there, and apparently Sougo’s subconscious psychic powers have given him a chair so that he’s not out cold on the floor.
…Well, at least Momo’s used to bodysharing? In more ways than one? Because there’s Climax form, and that’s the four main Imajin.
This is too many people in one body – mOMO NO YOUR FIGHTING STYLE DOES NOT MESH WITH THIS SKINNY NOODLE THAT FORMS THE BASE!
Oh no, Yuuto and Deneb are just so confused. “Why is the red asshole in the cataclysm asshole?! WHATEVER! Deneb, let’s go!”
Deneb’s still mom-friending on main, even in Vega form, much to Yuuto’s despair.
Ohh noooo. Takuya – Another Den-O – wanted the powers so he could save his sister. HNG! MY HEART!
And there’s the Denliner, right on time! So Uncle Tokiwa managed to fix it, after all!
…Oh my Gaim. Oh. My. Gaim.
The Imajin let him drive the train.
OKAY, OKAY, YOU WIN.
Junichiro, you’ve got name privileges back! That’s just TOO COOL.
Woz: “Guys, wasn’t Another Den-O after the Denliner?!”
Sougo: “OH NO! YOU’RE RIGHT! GUYS! WE HAVE TO FINISH THIS UP!”
Why are you guys attacking ZERONOS?
BOYS.
that’s the wrong person.
See? Now look at what you’ve done! Another Den-O just hijacked the Denliner!
And since Button-Up’s contract was to help Takuya… well, he meant ‘help’ as in ‘save’, but Be Careful What You Wish For. The Mole Imajin takes off into the past.
So, Trinity breaks up for now. At least Geiz is awake again! And goes immediately to try and beat up Momotaros. He has it coming.
Woz mentions that if they had the Den-O watch, they might be able to find out where they went…
And Momotaros, aka the Main Imajin who fights as Den-O, tries to tap out from the choke hold Geiz has him in, holding up a red-and-white watch.
He already trusts Sougo, after all. Has since HeiGen Forever.
… … …
nani the fuck?
The Den-O watch starts glowing.
The watches back at the shop start glowing… and warp themselves over to Sougo, coalescing into one large, gold, gaudy-as-all-get-out watch.
Grand Zi-O~
“So this is supreme power...”
Sougo, I don’t think you should be excited about that…
Also, that Drive watch is the one that Geiz brought back in time, so. Um. That one shouldn’t count towards Grand. (WHERE’S THE DRIVE ARC, TOEI?!)
~
We’re going to get Momo-Woz in the next episode! Whooooo! This oughta be FUN!
Also, more Zeronos Altair form, Den-O CLIMAX FORM, and…
Uh-oh.
That’s Oma Zi-O. Not just in appearance – he’s talking to Sougo, too.
Uh-oh.
~~
This episode was a RIDE you guys!

Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu – The Strongest Team
Entertainment Station Interview Translation with the Karasuno second and third-years
Full interview translation and more photos under the Read More! Please do not repost my translations.
To start, may I ask you to give a brief comment about what you’d like to achieve with Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu – The Strongest Team?
Kouhei: Engeki Haikyuu has given me so much, so I would very much like to repay the favor.  I can’t just make myself stand out, we want to make the leading actors in each scene shine as the flow of the story dictates, and aim to make the production itself great.  I want to do my absolute best so that I can pay back the kindness of this production and this cast!
Kazuma: Right now we’re in the midst of rehearsals, so there are a lot of parts where we’re still fumbling around, but we’re doing our best as we explore solutions.  We’re working hard so that it’ll be fun!
Fucchi: This time around, we have a lot of performances too. The play has all sorts of individual dramas in it, and just like Kouhei-kun said, we want the focus individuals in each of those scenes to look better.  And of course we want to do our own parts well and do our best to contribute to Engeki Haikyuu.
Tumblr media
Naoki: I joined partway through, so this will be my second tour with Engeki Haikyuu.  Sugawara Koushi is a character that’s always carefully watching his surroundings and raising the morale of his teammates, so I really want to support everyone on the team and make them shine from the bench.  Not that I’m going to let them do all the shining... but my own efforts to shine will contribute to making the production itself brighter, I think.  So in order to make that happen, I’m cheering as loud as I can even during rehearsals.  
Justin: We started the very first show with mostly fumbling around, and every time, we put out all kinds of shows that surprised our audience. I think there are people looking forward to this show too, so I’m working hard so that we can show them something that is the culmination of everything the Haikyuu cast can do!
Keita: No matter what, the Karasuno graduation will be a feature of this particular show, but instead of focusing on things like “graduation” or “the end” or “feeling sad,” I want to etch this one into the hearts of our audience as a production that continues on with hope for the future.
Tumblr media
Now I’d like to turn things over to our program director, Shiota-san, and ask him to share a memorable moment of Engeki Haikyuu.  
Kouhei: I thought about it but... There are so many memorable moments that I couldn’t choose, so I thought it might work if I were to share the first thing that flashes into my head if you say the words “Engeki Haikyuu.”
Oh, that’s a good idea!
Tumblr media
Kouhei: Ok so I’ll start.  It’s about the most recent tour we did for “Start of the Giant,” but when the story brought in Kazuma’s Ennoshita Chikara, those moments are intensely burned into my mind.  And maybe that’s because acting in those scenes was the most fun for me as an actor.  
Naoki: I’m also gonna have to go with “Start of the Giant.” Well, the main reason being that since that’s the show I started from, I actually haven’t been in any show other than “Start of the Giant.”  (strained laugh)
Justin: It feels like you’ve been around for longer. (laughs)
Keita: Yeah, since we’ve become so used to each other. (laughs)
Naoki: As the play tours, everyday is different, but the scene that gives me goosebumps and makes me think, “Oh wow!” is the last scene of the first act of “Start of the Giant.”
Kazuma: The end of the match against Johzenji?
Naoki: Yeah.  After the match with Johzenji is over, and after the line for Ennoshita, “Well isn’t that why?”* the second-years all smile together and the mood in that moment is really great.  While I was in the stage wings, I felt like their relationship could be summed up in just those few seconds, and I just thought, “Oh, they’re such good teammates.”  
*The dialogue in the scene Naoki mentions involves the second-years discussing the captain for next year.  Ennoshita says, “I can’t possibly be captain, I ran away once.”  Tanaka’s response is, “Well, isn’t that why you’d be good for it?” 
Tumblr media
Justin: For me, the “Winners and Losers” show itself left a strong impression.  The Haikyuu manga itself is one that brilliantly depicts the message of “those who understand defeat,” and in that moment, my character Azumane Asahi has experienced this huge loss.  From that defeat, he gets himself up again, and in that moment I felt like I had really become one with him.  It was hard to tell if I was acting, or if I was actually playing this sport and lost... It was the first time I’d felt this sensation of, “This is me, but it’s also not me.”  It was a really incredible experience, so I can’t really forget it.  
Kouhei: Not to mention, the more times we do it, the more intense the matches become.  Even now it can sometimes be hard to tell if we’re acting or if we’re really in a sports club.  (strained laugh)
Naoki: The director, Worry-san did say once, “I want to make a new sport.”
Justin: From our perspective, it sort of feels like, “It’s a really tough one so try it at least once!”
Tumblr media
Justin: But once you get started, it’s somehow fun, even though you have to work really hard because it’s frustrating when you can’t do something.  “Well it’s hard on everyone, so I have to just work hard too!”  Everyone in our cast has this mindset, and I think it’s one of their best points.  Keita do you have any scenes that just flash into your head?
Keita: When I hear the words “Engeki Haikyuu,” the first thing that pops into my head is Kenta spiking after being lifted in the air.  It’s a moment that appears without fail in every match in every tour, so I feel like it’s the most symbolic pose of Engeki Haikyuu. To be completely honest, during the very first rehearsals, I was actually a little worried, going, “Does this even look cool?” But honestly yeah, it’s really cool.  (laughs)
Kouhei: Yeah, when we do it for real, it’s always cool!
Keita: Whether it’s impressive or not, it’s the first thing that pops into my head.  
Tumblr media
Kazuma: For me, it’s the part in the opening that goes da-da-da-da-da-da-daaa.  As soon as I hear that rhythm I get excited, and I’m reminded that Engeki Haikyuu is a production based on “sound.”  When I listen to the soundtrack, I always think, “This song is for that scene,” and I can call to mind all of the drama too. 
Fucchi: For me, it’s the chorus line that goes, “Volleyball, or Haikyuu.”  I also joined the production later, and I watched “Winners and Losers” as a spectator, and when I first saw that scene with the chorus line, I got goosebumps... Even now that I’m a part of it, that line feels so good!  
Keita: Yeah, I also think that moment is cool every time I see it!  
Tumblr media
Kouhei: Now we start the segment titled, “Karasuno case file: What the cast saw!” where we discuss any fun anecdotes we’ve witnessed.... do you have anything?
Kazuma: This is from a simulation match before rehearsals, but we got really fired up when we made the losing team do sit-ups or push-ups as a penalty, right?  The pressure Justin laid on the referee was amazing...
Keita: Yeah, yeah, Jas’s objections are intense!
Justin: It’s because I hate to lose. (laughs)
Keita: And then Worry-san had to say, “Jas, out.”  
Kouhei: During rehearsals we record ourselves so that we can use it to check ourselves later, but if there’s anyone who ever messes up, we have times where we shame each other by replaying it in slow-motion so that everyone can see it and laugh.  
Justin: That... it happens to me so many times... (strained laugh)  I mean that is embarrassing, but it makes you go, “I won’t mess up next time!”
Tumblr media
Kouhei: A Jas incident I remember involves acrobatics.
Naoki: B Twists (Butterfly Twist) are a hard technique actually, but Jas saw me do one and mistakenly thought he could do one too, and then when he tried...
Kouhei: He went all out with a head-slide. (laughs)
Justin: I’d practiced it on the mat a few times and really thought I could do it!
Kouhei: When we were presenting our full dress rehearsal, it looked like he could just barely do it, and he turned to Worry-san like, “Check me out!” with this triumphant look, but when we checked the recording, he still couldn’t actually do it properly.  Then he fell on his knees and was like, “My big toe kind of hurrrrts.”   (laughs)
Justin: Ahahaha!  But if we’re gonna talk about acrobatics, Yuuto’s the one with an actual incident.
Fucchi: Nishinoya has this move called the “Rolling Thunder” which is this sort of tumbling receive, so I got our acrobatics expert Naoki-kun to teach me a really cool way to do a Rolling Thunder.  The first time we pulled it off during rehearsal, even though it wasn’t his or my cue to be on-stage, he was as happy for me as if we’d just won the set. (laughs)  After that, I did a lot of independent practice to try and improve the precision of my moves.... but at a dress rehearsal one week before opening, I was practicing it during intermission and I completely failed at it.  
Justin: It was like a solo DDT.*  (strained laugh)  “Yuuto’s One-man Air Pro-wrestling.”
*DDT is a pro-wrestling term, meaning any move in which the wrestler has the opponent in a front facelock and falls down or backwards to drive the opponent’s head into the mat.  
(explosive laughter)
Fucchi: I didn’t put enough power into the spins so I just fell right on my back.  But I was doing it on the mat just in case, so it was fine.  (strained laugh)
Kouhei: Maaan, the way you fell scared me!  You just barely avoided a major accident, basically.  Ok, and lastly, let’s have everyone give a short message about what we’re looking forward to for this tour of Engeki Haikyuu. Let’s start with Keita.
Tumblr media
Keita: Of course there will be some sadness because of the graduation, but I’m going to tackle this with everything I have so that we can all graduate with our hearts full.  We know what we need to do, and we just have to go all out like we always do. Engeki Haikyuu is a production made with all the passion and memories of us in the cast, the staff, and our audience. Let’s enjoy it together to the end!
Tumblr media
Justin: I’ve always loved sports, and I’ve tried a few in my life, but after encountering Engeki Haikyuu, I’ve really come to love volleyball.  It was my great fortune to be able to meet these wonderful teammates, and I’m full of gratitude for Engeki Haikyuu.  To the audience I want to say... I’m a fan of the manga too, so I feel the same as all of you. When I stand on-stage, I’m going to enjoy myself as if I were simply watching, and I’m going to work as hard as I can to bring you a show that’ll move you!  Please give us your support!
Tumblr media
Naoki: I’m so grateful that I had the chance to become a member of this Engeki Haikyuu cast, and at the same time, it is my pride to be able to play Sugawara Koushi.  But, even if we graduate, it’s not like the Karasuno members will be scattered to the winds for the rest of our lives.  We’ve co-starred in other productions before this one, and in meeting each other we’ve carefully fostered a great rivalry.  We’re charging headfirst into the best Engeki Haikyuu ever, and to all of the Engeki Haikyuu fans, I’m so happy that we’ve reached this end with your passion and your enthusiastic viewership.  
Tumblr media
Fucchi: Volleyball is a sport about “connecting.”  Yes we’ve had cast changes and new people entering the production, but in the same way that everyone works together to connect a single ball, I think as people we’ve also carefully connected with each other. At the end of this tour, we’ll be graduating, but everyone who’s ever been involved in this production connected that single ball to us, and we’ll be sure to keep connecting that ball to the end, and I want to finish our time with a clean, strong spike.  We have so many characters that I know some might feel like, “I don’t know where to look,” but we can’t go without a single one of those people, so I want everyone to really look at every single person in turn and observe their individual stories.  Which is why I want people to come see us many times and enjoy themselves just as many times.  
Tumblr media
Kazuma: As an actor, I have nothing but gratitude that I was able to become involved in Engeki Haikyuu at a time when I was dwelling on thoughts of ending my career.  To create something brand new is so difficult, and there were more things that didn’t go right.  But for this, “The Strongest Team,” we’re throwing out all sorts of ideas so that the people who come to see us don’t lose interest, and we’re working hard so that we meet your expectations.  Please look forward to that, and be sure to come see us at the theater!
Tumblr media
Kouhei: Engeki Haikyuu introduced me to the most amazing actors who all work hard and encourage each other to improve, amazing staff, and also amazing fans.  I have nothing but gratitude.  At last, the curtain will rise on Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu – The Strongest Team on October 20th.  We will shoulder the feelings of every cast member that’s ever appeared, and along with our own overflowing drive, I’d like to shock everyone who sees us!  Please give us your support to the very end!

Pride Month 3/3 [BONUS]
Pride Race is almost dunzo!
Author’s Note : All of this is ENTIRELY NON-CANON. I’m still working on my writing skills. Thank You and Enjoy, hopefully.
Hachi is going to admit, Pride Race is definitely fun. With all those games there are going to happen once in a lifetime, he’s going to miss it so much. 
The Obstacle Race is a wild one. Tres running through the course with traps activated once a few second, Marina planned a total chaotic plan with the underground participants; Huit panicked through her course with limited dirt.
~~~~~~~~~~
“What do you mean we are the last one out, you little...” 
“Calm down, Miss Hime.” Marie smirked as she gestured towards the other teams who finished the maze, “If only your team is fast enough to figured out the route, maybe you would come here first.”
~~~~~~~~~~
Musical Maze, a total brain explosion. They took a lot of time figuring out the entrance, especially with all different music is playing around them. Pearl accidentally triggered a trap switch, making a piano piece to appear on the wall. If it wasn’t for Marina to press the right key, who knows what happen? When it was designed by Marie Cuttlefish herself.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Erm...A4?” Huit pressed the box on the provided gadget. Few seconds, the cannon right behind her shot off to the other side of the wall in front of her. One loud boom and her desired box was ticked as correct. 
“Yes!...Uh oh.”
~~~~~~~~~~
He never did miss Battleship. Not one bit. Playing as a ship piece in the middle of the sea is definitely not what he would like at all. Sei, that lovable sadistic, had the nerve to laugh it off when Hachi got blasted off from an opponents’ cannon ball. They make up and kissed afterwards.
~~~~~~~~~~
Tres chewed as she tried not making faces. She got to admit, she want to drink at least few drops of water but she can’t risk it. Not when her unlucky teammates got eliminated by eating... those dishes. 
“Coddamn it, Callie.”
~~~~~~~~~~
The Spicy Food Test is the best! He never knew the surface would offer so much food, from different country too! The best one he love the most would be Monster Meaty Burger from Coralphin, a country he know only from the travel article that they have the most dangerous animals contained. If only he have a passport to travel.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Are you guys ready for the last game of the week?!” Fior screamed enthusiastically in the microphone. Groups of both participants and audience cheered and shouted loudly. 
It’s finally the last game of the event. Teams are getting restless, especially when they don’t know about how much points they earned. They got too immersed into the games that they forgot to count them.
Hachi is very nervous. He knew he should be. So are the rest of Team Cephahook. The last game is quite weird in all ways. Why his tiny gremlin girlfriend would ask all the teams to wait until seven o’clock in the night, separate them into this gigantic stage, a huge box just sitting right beside where they stand, and wear a thermal goggle. He doesn’t understand until he turned to look through the box, “Oh no... she didn’t!”
“Participants!” Fior’s booming voice came out of the speakers. “Please don’t attempt to take off your thermal goggles. Looking at you there, Tressy love!”
Hachi is sweating a lot. He don’t want to know that this is true. They can’t be this cruel, would th-
“Today, we are going to play Balloon Kart Race!”
They can be this cruel, Hachi dreaded as the box started to lifted up to reveal a kart and three balloons attached to the back. Sei and Fior are, after all, behind the design of a freaking Bloblobber and its Deco counterpart.
“If you guys play the classic Mario Kart games, you definitely know how to play this! If you do not know about them, let me broadcast you the basic rules!”
Suddenly, the goggles were switched to a blank screen, leading to his lovers and Squid Sisters appeared. 
“Balloon Kart Race is a type of game mode in the Mario Kart. Basically, you drive your Go-Kart around until you spot a person. And then, bring out the big guns we install beside your seats and aim for the balloons! Pop all three balloons to ensure total elimination! Points would be given for that.” 
“Remember those extra special goggles we designed for you guys? Not only they can showcase your team points and rankings, they are also there to hindered your eyesight to identify foes and friends alike! Good luck!” Sei chuckled as the screen switched back to the normal ones. 
Hachi grimaced as he mounted on his Kart. Did he mention he was bad at this game? “I’m going to deny affection from them if it’s the last thing I do.” he falsely swear it before the speaker blast the Mario Kart Race Start Intro, seemly to mocked him.
Hachi twitched irritatingly as he drive through the place. First thing first, he’s going to avoid all people as fast as possible. He don’t know how to aim to save his life. Luckily, the ladies of his life are not called the Queen of War and Dead Splat for nothing.
“Wowie! Tres Perdere from Team Cephahook managed to eliminated Madam Spikers and Lady Susan from Team Sun Spark!” Callie enthusiastically announced. From Hachi’s goggles, his team moves to the top of the ranking.
“On the other side, Huit, from Team Cephahook too, totally lives on her name, Dead Splat! Mercilessly annihilated Bella Smith from Team Smith Cousins in one shot!” Marie continued, “Looks like this cause a commotion to all her cousins. They are shooting everywhere!”
Right after she said that, he heard shooting right behind him. “Holy Zapfish, please have mercy on me...” Hachi prayed as he pressed on the accelerator hard to its limit for maximum speed. 
It happened so fast. One minute he’s debating whether or not should he avoid the Kart completely and the next thing he knew, he crashed into another Kart. Balloons are popping everywhere and he didn’t care anymore as he pressed his gun button.
~~~~~~~~~~
“This is going haywire!” Fior exclaimed, “Due to Team Smith Cousins’ frantic shooting, so many teams have been wiped out by either their foes or friends! We have three surviving teams that had yet to be annihilate!”
The big screen in the Audience Area showcase the teams that have survived so far. Team Coral Royalty with their lesbian sea anemone and straight ally inkling, Team Biter Bikes with their panromantic killer whale, and lastly, Team Cephahook with their asexual inkling.
Hachi is a little bit worried, no, scratch that. He’s freaking worried. Not about Tres’ skills but her current situation. One balloon. She was known to rushed into the battlefield without a decent plan. The other teams have either two or one balloons left. The map shows they are close to each other, too close for comfort. He believes in her. His team too, especially Huit who looked up at her.
“Ooh! That’s a sad elimination for Yuuto Akabane from Team Coral Royalty! His teammate popped his balloons without realising!” Sei announced as he continued smiling all wide. “And look what we have over there!” 
The screen quickly relocate its focus to the centre of the stage. Tres is racing in circle along with the Biter Bikes killer whale. “They are not shooting at each other but... they are talking?” Hachi jaw dropped. Their badass girlfriend, terrorise anyone and even her teammates, is not attacking?
~~~~~~~~~~
“Listen, kid.” the panromantic killer whale demanded the inkling girl who almost pressed her gun button. “We only have one balloon each. Thea have two. What do you say, girl? Gang up on her and pop her balloons.”
“What do I gain from this?” Tres squinted at him, distrust in her eyes.
“I act as a decoy. Probably would get pop as a result.”
“You don’t want to win?” 
“I want to win but... that sea cow pushed me in our second day.”
“Okay, don’t back out unless you are being a sea chicken.”
~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly, those two competitor dispersed into different ways. Unless the twins are being paranoid, he noticed Tres is smirking devilishly. 
“Oh no...” Huit trembled. Even their lovers on stage either gulped or sweated heavily. Hachi wiped his sweat on the forehead before muttering out, “She’s on rampage mode.”
Marina widened her eyes in shock before watching the screen. Pearl is not fazed at all. “Great! That would make our victory much more quicker! It’s totes obvious!” She grinned widely.
Thea Wallace from Team Coral Royalty have no idea what’s gonna happen as she encountered Shafi Rijaya from Team Biter Bikes. She’s aiming and shooting at him like crazy. As it goes on, dodging bullets and shooting balloons, Tres flew out from their left side, literally Kart flying, aim and shoot Thea’s balloons, and landed. After she saw Shafi’s balloon haven’t popped yet, she did the honor.
“Would you look at that, folks! Tres Perdere, Queen of War and previously known as Monster Rookie, pulled off that sick stunt! Isn't that amazing, Marie?” Callie squealed while jumping around in excitement. Marie fawned beside her, speechless beyond words.
“We would take that as a yes, Marie!” Fior butted in while watched the recording of her badass girlfriend doing that cool stunt again and again, with Erek and Sei beside her. The crowd were roaring and chanting Tres’ name over and over again. 
~~~~~~~~~~
“Do you think we would win?” Huit nervously asked. It’s the final day of Pride Race, the result day. Yesterday, her lovers were discussing and calculating the points with the Squid Sisters in the living room intensely, nodding or shaking their heads in the middle of it.
Pearl, as confident as usual, snorted as she glanced up to her figurative daughter. “Why don’t you relax a bit? The results have no set time, you know?” 
“But Mama! I don’t want to lose.”
“Neither did I. That’s why we are going to relax! Because there’s no way we lose!”
“Okay... Big Brother, Tres? Where do we start first?”
Audience, fans and participants are buzzing around excitingly. The stands around them are full with delicious junk food, thirst-quenching drinks, fun mini games and small stage to promote albums. Hachi scratched his head before answering, “Why don’t we hang out with the rest of our lovers? It’s been a while since we had a proper group date.”
The girls nodded in agreement as they shuffled through the crowd. Huit almost got lost before Tres and Hachi held her hands tightly. She smiled at the appreciation as they finally reached the stage. Sei is frowning really hard as he type on his laptop. Erek and Fior seems to be quite carefree as they blabbered around and have small pecks to each other. 
“Leaving out on us? My, cheeky lovers you two~” Hachi chuckled as he let go of his sister’s hand and join them. They started to joked around and make some small kisses between them.
Tres shrugged as she dragged her shy girlfriend towards their tall boyfriend. They were a little bit disappointed that the laptop screen shows weapon datas instead of the Pride Race results. 
“Hey, lovelies.” he glanced at them sleepily before returning his focus onto the screen. He never had much sleep that night, the girls could tell. His pansexual coloured tentacles started to fade out to his natural green, constantly rambling and swearing softly, and squinting around even over large texts. Tres couldn’t stand it and decided to manhandled him with inhumane strength while Huit, seems to understand, saved his drafts and shut down the laptop. Sei groaned tiredly, “What do you two do that for...? I have to give this data to Sheldon before the next Splatfest arrived...”
“You had done a lot, Sei Sei. Why don’t we join the others and cuddle for once?” Huit grinned before winked at Tres, who carried him off the chair like it’s nothing and dumped him on top of the others. 
“Hey, what was tha-” the short inkling yelped before squinted closely on the poor boy’s laid out body, “Ooh, Sei! You could have told us before you launched yourself to us, you big goofball~” 
“Heh, it’s not intentional but I’ll keep that in mind, Fi.” he sat up and stretched his muscle before pulling the rest of the girlfriend squad on top of him. “Now that we are all here, cuddles anybody?”
Erek and Fior squealed as they launched themselves into the pile. Hachi puffed before turning into his octo form and squeezed into them.
~~~~~~~~~~
The contestants are bursting with excitement and nervousness. The results are here! If one team win this race, they are going to receive 50 Super Sea Snails each member and able to create the next Pride Race games! 
“Let’s cut to the chase!” Fior emerged from the stage. People are shouting everywhere, most of them are begging for the results to come out. Sei shakes his head slyly as he projected thirteen group names to the gigantic screen on the stage that didn’t reach Top Three. Most teams are either consoling their upset teammates or just disappointed. Sei grinned, “I congratulate those teams who at least make some effort, but too bad. You’ll win, next time.”
“Oh cod, our team are not in there! We made it to Top Three!” Huit skipped around her lover and brother with uncontrollable excitement. The two of them smiled fondly at her. She always so work up over small things, but it makes her weirdly cute. 
“And now, let us announce the winners and runner ups! From the third place, we have...” Erek spoke clearly as he read his cue cards, “...Team Diss Squad! Congratulation!” Fans of Diss Pair and ex-Squid Squad members in the Audience Area cheered like thunders as their idols walked up to the stage and received their 25 Super Sea Snails each. The vibrant colours of their non-binary, bisexual and pansexual identity shone even brighter as they smiled, or pouted, for the cameras.
“Second place, we have... Team Gender Crisis! Congratulation!” Group of transgender, non-binary and gender-fluid sea creatures strutted up to the stage and posed dramatically for the cameras as they received their 35 Super Sea Snails each. 
“WE WIN!” Marina and the octo twins are squealing excitingly while Pearl fist bump with Tres. “BOOYAH, BABY!”
“Finally, our first place cause excitement to our obvious winners over there... Team Cephahook!” Audience cheered even louder than the last two teams for both their news broadcaster duo and the famous League members as they walked up (run for Hachi and Pearl) to the stage and received their 50 Super Sea Snails each and the permit to create games for the next Pride Race. 
“This would be one of the most memorable moments of my life!” Hachi thought happily as he smiled widely for the camera.
