Towa-kun! I seek your advice. Tell me, you are informed on matters of the heart, are you not? How do you deal with matters of affection?

* @zenji-kotodama-official *

You have a crush on someone? Gross, haha! So who is it? You should just tell them how you feel!!~

But don’t get your hopes up, ‘cause you’re dead so you can’t really have a relationship, hah.

Metal and madness

A sweltering summer,

That is Vagastrom.

🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

I think ur haiku's missing a syllable on the second line lol a•swel•ter•ing•sum•mer is only 6

That's pretty good tho! The guys here prob won't notice the difference but I bet they'd get a kick out of an artsy type writing poetry abt them💜

[ask-kei-machi]

*Have faith in your hand and have confidence in the strokes it produces, dearest Kei-kun. I believe in the heart you'll pour into it.*

*...

But despite it all, the only message that comes across is the soft sound of a biwa.*

🎶🎵🎶🎵

Just as Kei had started to feel himself fall deeper into his own criticisms, the sounds coming from the biwa pull him to reality like a rope.

“A biwa...? Ah, its almost... reassuring hearing that melody.” He murmurs, his pacing slowing to a stop as he took the time to listen. Maybe absolute perfection isn't the key, it isn't like he's going to present it to some art competition.

“Maybe... Maybe I'll just paint some scenery instead, nature always has a way to be captured in an artist's lens.” They smile ever so faintly, putting aside the canvas that had previously caused them immense stress. A clean slate could do wonders to an artist trying too hard to impress.

“Don't think of the prying eyes... I'm only doing this for myself, and no one else.”

Kei picks up their paintbrush, and begins to paint the branches of a willow tree.

🎀 ISTG I could cry, why is Zenji so cute? His character ask/rp blog warms my heart. Admin, whoever you are, thank you for blessing us.

[aayakashii]

It seems I haven't quite had my fill of cuteness. So I humbly ask for part 4 of the plushie series with Luca, Ritsu, Zenji, Tohma, and Rui.

It's ok if you don't want to also

The most requested thing!! hehehe |ू´꒳`) I'm really happy you guys like the plushie headcanons, and thanks to the anon who originally requested it a few months ago too!!

Part 1, part 2, part 3

How Tokyo Debunker boys react after receiving a cute little plushie from MC – Luca, Ritsu, Zenji, Tohma, Rui, Ed and Lyca

Lucas Errant – husky plushie

Extremely happy that he is receiving such a thoughtful gift from you!

He never truly allowed himself to play with toys because of his studies, and then came the guilt of losing his brother… Letting himself relax like that barely ever crossed his mind.

So he doesn't really know what to do???

He just perches the cute plushie on his desk and politely greets it whenever he leaves his room and gets back.

He's a bit confused, but he's got the spirit!

Since the husky is always on his desk, it kinda becomes his study buddy really quick too.

Luca ends up reciting his notes to it and reading his books out loud, so it helps him get even better grades (if that's even possible).

He notices this and IMMEDIATELY goes to thank you.

He is 100% sure that you had this crazy elaborate plan to make him get better grades, which is why you made the plushie for him.

Now he’s asking you to maybe make one for Kaito so he stops going to so many remedial classes…

Because he’s denser than a (quickly researches what is the densest rock in the world) peridotite

And doesn’t realize that you gave him a handmade gift because you LIKE him........

He’ll have to ask someone for help after you get upset with him because of this.

Because the husky plushie definitely doesn’t know either and, for some reason, Kaito just refuses to help him!

Cut him some slack… he’s just dense. Like a peridotite.

Shinjo Ritsu – otter plushie

"For me?"

"Yes."

"I believe you are aware that a gift, in the law of property, is the voluntary and immediate transfer of property from one person to another and in order for the it to be legally effective it has to have donative intent, the delivery of the gift to the donee, and the acceptance of the gift."

“Okay...?”

“Therefore I accept the gift.”

“Cool…”

Congratulations, you have just given Ritsu his first official associate.

Or at least this is what he says to himself in his mind.

He was trained to become a lawyer since he was a little kid, so he never thought about playing with toys that much (and his father didn’t push him to do so as well).

But he gotta admit, having a handmade plushie, something his partner (as in business partner! Don’t get him wrong!) made for him exclusively does bring a feeling of joy he never quite felt before.

If anyone so much as THINK about touching his gift, he will be ready to recite the entire constitution, and every single law they broke, AND declare how many years they’ll get in prison just for touching his little otter friend.

He takes things such as private property very seriously after all.

He won’t take the plushie everywhere with him (what about safety?), but he does keep it right next to him in bed when he’s reviewing all the records he made throughout the day.

For a second, he wonders if he could sneak a camera into a plushie and give it to you, but oh no, that would be an invasion of privacy!

Or at least only until he finds a loophole in the law.

Kotodama Zenji – koi plushie

"My dear!!! Oh you truly are the most lovely flower to ever grace this earth! If my heart could still beat, it would be racing for you!!"

You managed to steal a little beaded bracelet artifact, something weak (or at least you hope so), and tied it on the plushie's tail.

And your theory was successful! Zenji could actually touch it, just like he could carry his doll due to its anomalous properties.

To say he’s absolutely SMITTEN with the plushie is an understatement.

He loves anything artistic and knowing that you spent your precious time creating that cute plushie for him makes him so so happy!

WILL carry it everywhere and write ballads about the koi. And poems. And he will read every single myth involving kois and post them on his youtube channel as well (please like and subscribe... PLEASE...)

Haku has the time of his life laughing at Zenji, because now he carries his doll, his biwa AND his plushie everywhere.

If you keep giving him gifts, he might actually need a whole cart to carry everything around him.

The little koi and the doll become his most loyal fans, and his company during nighttime, when everyone’s asleep.

If you see a koi plushie outside your window, don’t freak out. It’s just Zenji watching you sleep again.

He has the habit of calling the doll "his brother" and now he’s gonna call the koi plushie "his dearest".

The two people he cares about the most, right there in his arms: Jiro and you.

Ishibashi Tohma – orca plushie

"Oh? I wonder what made you think I am fit for receiving such an adorable little gift."

Tohma… does not know what to do with the gift you just gave him.

Don’t get him wrong, he appreciates it! Truly. He is mesmerized by the fact that you made a whole orca plushie with your own hands.

But he also doesn’t see how someone as intimidating as him deserves such an adorable gift.

Maybe all those months serving someone else with little appreciation made him forget how it feels to be pampered…

He places the plushie in the vault, right on his desk, and it becomes his companion when he needs to go through paperwork.

Tohma tried giving it a hug once and he got so damn sleepy RIGHT AWAY that now he just pats its head whenever he needs to take a break.

That little thing is dangerous, making him feel so comfortable… He can’t sleep, he’s a busy man! A little headpat to acknowledge the plushie will have to suffice.

However, he still hasn’t tried taking the plushie to his room yet.

He’s quite worried that his sleep will just be filled with dreams about you.

And oh dear... it'd be way too tough to wake up from something pleasant like that.

Mizuki Rui – black bunny plushie

You torture him, being so cute!

A plushie? For him? A black bunny you made with your own hands?!

He wishes he could squish you to death, but that could become quite literal if he actually touched you.

So instead, he squeezes the hell out of the bunny.

Absolutely loves the gift and takes it EVERYWHERE with him.

It basically becomes his bar’s little mascot.

He kisses the bunny’s cheeks every single time he lays his eyes on it. There’s a good morning kiss, a good afternoon kiss, a good evening kiss, plenty of see you later kisses… (he just wishes he was actually kissing you).

Rui will definitely get little accessories for the bunny and maybe even get matching ones for you.

He will also name it some variation of your name and refer to it during conversations as if he was talking about an actual living being.

Lyca and Ed are forced to acknowledge the bunny as their new dorm mate, but won’t let Rui get the bunny its own room because that would be too much!!

Oh, Rui will also buy a bottle of your perfume to spray on the plushie so when he hugs it, it smells like you

What? No, of course that’s not creepy at all, silly! He just loves everything about you, including your perfume!

Edward Hart – ram plushie

Oya, look at what his lovely human brought to him. And you made it yourself? Wonderful.

He has watched plenty of DIY tutorials on youtube, but was always too lazy to go through with them.

Now that he knows you’re skillful with your hands, though? Expect plenty of requests. Maybe do a little bat for him next, what do you think?

The little ram probably becomes the only clean thing in his room, despite Ed holding it all the time when he’s bedrotting.

(That’s because Rui cleans it frequently. He doesn’t want you to think your gift went underappreciated)

And when I say constantly, I mean CONSTANTLY.

Something cute and comfy to hold while he rewatches that 10 hour conspiracy iceberg video for the 5th time? That is exactly what he needs.

He will try to take pictures of the ram watching videos with him for you, but it will be terribly unfocused.

You appreciate the thought despite that!

You don’t appreciate the message he sent though...

"Hello My Dear 😘❗️I Just Had To Show You This 📷❗️Look At How My New Little Friend 🐏 Is Watching Youtube 💻 With Me 🦇❤️ He Just Absolutely Loves ❤️ To Watch ✨️ Conspiracy Videos✨️ With Me 🦇 I Tried Inviting Lyca🐺 Too But He Won’t Reply To My Messages ✉️🚫😢 I Wonder Why 🤔❓️ Please Come Visit Me Anytime 👋🏰🥀 We’d Love To Watch Things With You👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨😘💋"

Lyca Colt – wolf plushie

“What's this?”

“It's a gift for you. I made it.”

“What do I do with it?”

“Um... nothing. You can cuddle it when you sleep, I guess?”

“Hmpft! I'm not a child, I don't need to cuddle things!!”

Don't worry, he thanks you properly after Rui scolds him and tells him to express gratitude when he gets gifts.

He is a little bit rough with it at first, since he never had a toy before, but he quickly gets extremely possessive of it and starts treating the plushie with a lot more care.

He WILL growl and bite if someone tries to take it from him.

Lyca kind of acts like a big brother to his wolf plushie, taking him to his favorite spots and explaining the things he learned to it (he needs to practice after all!)

The plushie becomes a nice reminder of you. Whenever he thinks about doing something he shouldn’t, he looks at the wolf’s beady eyes and thinks of yours as well.

Who would’ve thought this would be such a sure-fire way to make him behave a bit more.

Rui, however, is absolutely exasperated because he just knows that plushie will be another thing that will desperately need washing SOON and Lyca just won’t let him clean it.

Lyca eventually wraps his plushie in his stinky baby blanket (much to Rui’s despair) and cuddles with it to sleep every night.

His dreams become all about you, so don’t worry in case he has a little bit of a hard time looking at you the next day (and a little blush on his cheeks). It’s a little hard to explain!

Tokyo Debunker Ask/RP Blogs

(a probably mostly up to date list) (and if yours isn't on here ping me so I can fix that!) (and if you don't wanna be listed then tell me that too lmao--)

Just keeping a list because i love us haha. This isn't anything serious it's just everyone I've seen around since like. I started? Not all active anymore i only occasionally remove any blogs that were deactivated I'm sure some of us would like being sent asks. We're all here to have fun, I think.

If you have an ask or rp blog for Tokyo Debunker, let me know! And if you have one and you're not in the community for it(it's private so if you click that link and see posts), let @shohaizono know! It's mostly for communicating/planning purposes between muns at the moment.

Also turns out you can only have 50 mentions in one post. So after a point everyone on this post is linked not mentioned lol

[ask-subaru-kagami]

Dearest Subaru-kun! I've written a hanging new tune and would like your opinion on it. I tried to style it after the songs of kabuki, but I fear it may have fallen flat. Your expertise would be much appreciated.

*@zenji-kotodama-official*

Of course I'd be willing to help! Is there an explicit story with the piece, or is it more implied?

[shohaizono]

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

You jack of all trades,

You are sure to do great things

As sure as the bloom.

🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Poem just for me? Not entirely sure the best way to respond to this kinda thing, but thanks. Appreciate it.

(( @zenji-kotodama-official I believe))

[teaflow-er]

🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Subaru-kun!!! How delightful it is to see you again. How are you on this fine afternoon? I trust you've been keeping well?

* @zenji-kotodama-official *

Zenji! Hello!

It is really good to see you, I have been well! I sure hope you have been well too.

Please come chat with me, I would love to hear your poetry.

[asktowa]

Towa-kun! I've heard the most worrisome rumours about you as of late. Please do ensure you're taking care of yourself! Your poor captain will be panicked all to pieces if he discovered you've been hurt.

*he's staring worriedly. vomit and poison... zenji's own panic for his friend is clearly evident.*

@zenji-kotodama-official

Welp. Towa was clearly doing something wrong if he was getting health advice from a literal ghost. But, regardless of his feelings towards Zenji, it was. . .nice, to have someone worrying for him. Even if that someone was kind of a nuisance.

“~~~ ♪~” He sighed and rolled his eyes, but gave Zenji a thumbs up. He’ll try not to worry him again.

@zenji-kotodama-official

[glorifiedstreetmagician]

Hanging out with @zenji-kotodama-official often means watching the koi in Hotarubi's lakes while he plays his biwa.

It also means I'm always being asked by the other students why they keep hearing music but can't seem to find the musician since I'm often around when they start hearing it.

Fuyuki Kohyama

[glorifiedstreetmagician]

Haku-kun! You must record me at once! I've been struck with inspiration, and I think this is my finest composition yet. I'm sure my fans are clamouring to get a taste of it already.

Clear your schedule! Perfection cannot be rushed!

@zenji-kotodama-official

Oh, hey, Zenji. You know we only just finished recording your last piece yesterday right? With how long it took me to edit, we could only put it out this morning.

...ah, all right. Why not? Inspiration waits for no one. Let's find a space with better lighting, I've got the camera ready.

[glorifiedstreetmagician]

*there is a long box left at his door. crudely wrapped with an even cruder note to match—some students have already thought about tossing it so haku wouldn't have to go through the trouble. somehow though, it survives.

the note reads,*

Don't go outside

Haku

*... there is an umbrella, too. one suited for the Hotarubi rain, green, with a tanuki painted in the interior. another note is tucked inside it.* Haku-san! This is the honour student. Sorry, I tried to tell Zenji-san not to write the note himself, but he insisted... He suddenly left halfway through it though.

Anyway, he's always talking about how give your umbrella to others or hold it over his head instead, so he wanted to get you a slightly bigger one so it could cover you too. He'd hate if you got a cold or something...

Merry Christmas, Haku-san. I overheard Zenji-san writing a song for you too, but he got flustered and ran away when I asked him about it.

Haku slept in late. He shuffled out of his room, dressed rather hap-hazard, his foot connecting with the long box. Swaying to a standstill, Haku stared down at the messy wrapping and belatedly noticed a note sitting atop.

He checked both ways down the hall, seeing only some students not-so-subtly staring at him and whispering to friends. Then he picked up the box and brought it in, kicking the door shut behind as he read the note. Don't go outside? Haku? Well, it was clearly addressed to him. And he'd recognise that shaky scrawl anywhere.

Haku really needed to talk to Zenji about leaving ominously unfinished notes everywhere. It freaked people out.

When he carefully opened the gift, he was stunned into a degree of silence more intense than mere lack of speech. Haku sat heavily on the edge of his bed, admiring the umbrella. As a second note slipped out in his rummaging, he picked it up curiously.

He wasn't as familiar with the honour student's handwriting, but it was sweet that she helped his friend with this Christmas present. Haku's smile was wide and affectionate as he read, little huffs of laughter escaping at the description of Zenji's antics. I love you two, he thought helplessly.

Despite his prior sleepiness, Haku left his room with a sudden burst of energy. He opened his new umbrella to the sky, admiring the painted tanuki with a pleased grin. Then he marched through Hotarubi in search of his favourite ghost.

He found him at one of their usual spots, strumming the biwa by the lake. Haku crept up behind him, holding his new umbrella over them both. "Merry Christmas, Zenji. You got a song for me?"

@zenji-kotodama-official

Thought you might be interested in this.

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it
