I fucking hate what the race to the bottom has done to the "official" translations of more than one fucking manga now.

Fucking Kodansha started translating Witch Hat, so the scanlators stopped doing so, but the official version is so fucking lazy.

They aren't even checking if the romanizations of character names read as intended in the target language, let alone fitting the translated vocabulary to the context! You need people on your team that can read intent from the Japanese text AND the English one, because the latter is going to need proofreading! Getting the vibe of the text right of the original version gains nothing if you don't also have someone who can replicate it in the target language! If that someone's the same person that's great but you very much have to have both skillsets on your translation team!!!!

It's perfectly possible to preserve the meaning and style of the original, even to the point where from sentence structure that gets rearranged to preserve a reveal or a metaphor is introduced to the new audience for the first time WITHOUT the text feeling janky in the target language! I've seen it! It used to be the norm before the race to the bottom trend in business got so universal since the mid to late tens! Stop being lazy and give your fucking translators the time and pay to do a good fucking job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still haven't forgiven what this trend did to Dungeon Meshi and I don't think that grudge is ever going to go away. You could have called it "Dungeon Food," or "Cooking in the Dungeon" and kept the bluntness of the original. You could have spun it up fancily as a kind of title familiar to the audience, and called it "The Chef's Guide to Dungeoneering" or "The Survivalist's Guide to Dungeon Food," or even "Man Versus Dungeon," in a play on Man v Wild. You could have straight up kept the Japanese title and either explained in a translator's note or added a subtitle that repeats the concept in English. Even "Delicious in the Dungeon," while still awkward as all SHIT, still scans as a sentence that makes sense! Why did you go with your actual fucking decision???!?!?!??!!? How hard is "Dungeon Meshi: A Practical Guide to Cooking Monsters?" That took me less than a minute!

If it's worth doing at all in an official capacity, it's worth doing it properly and leveraging your fucking corporate-scale resources to do a better job! Taking advantage of the unspoken agreement that scanlators have to yield to an official translation only to basically undercut them and do a worse job is scummy as all hell! Just fucking pick one of the major scanlator teams and hire them if you're going to cut corners!

Stop lowering the standards of quality stop lowering the standards of quality stop it stop it stop it STOP IT STOP IT!

Like, there's room to argue whether a more literal or more tone-tailored or even a highly creative Ace Attorney-Style translation is most appropriate for a particular work but at least PICK ONE and put in the effort to do that style translation as well as possible! And by ''put in the effort" I mean pay your fucking translators enough that they can take the time to do it right!!!

#As much as I'm not a fan of French vowels the work provided an easy means of teaching the audience how to pronounce ''Riche''#The scanlation I read up to official pickup took advantage of this marvelously with the ''Richangry'' pun early in the manga #The official version does Agathe/Agete so dirty as well either of the above would be better than what they did #fan wank #ignore Morg #Morg rants #this also relates to how much fucking disrespect literature majors in various languages get #this problem makes it obvious their skills are important to have in the general population #You need to have people around who can word a text in a way that's easy for its target audience to understand #we REALLY need to start using footnotes and margin notes and translator's notes much more liberally #and that thing Japanese does where text that's critical to the context of a word #whether it be pronunciation or definition or explaining a play on words or lore association that doesn't translate or making the tone clear #is helpfully placed on top of a phrase that needs such a thing #I've seen it adopted in English to great effect!#Coco being described as having ''green-gold hair'' could have been ''a girl with hair like worn brass'' to keep the flouncy fantasy feel #The description fits her colored character art!#That took me the time it takes to butter toast!#I am a biologist! Surely you could throw a water balloon at a crowd of people with lit degrees and hit someone who can do even better!#Like. Translation Jank from amateurs is understandable because they often have a limited skillset to draw from (often of just ONE person)#+ they have to translate during their free hours. An entity with corporate scale resources & the tools to Find People Better have no excuse #language

Idk if this have been done before or not but blue lock boys of your choice (hopefully with sae, isagi and aiku) with a very flirty reader but when it comes to the real thing just short circuit?? Like they're all bark but no bite type of thing (me frfr) Reader saying stuff like "I'll take you home tn pretty😘", "What do you want to do first? Eat, bath or me😜 Isn't that what japanese women say to their husbands??" or "I'm so delicious yk" (and yes if you're curious I did say this to my friends and I don't have a love life😔)

“𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐳 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭”

a/n: i am obsessed with you. you are the final boss of flirt-to-faint pipeline and i will write this with my whole chest

ft. isagi yoichi, itoshi sae, aiku oliver, karasu tabito, nagi seishiro, kaiser michael, itoshi rin, shidou ryusei

isagi yoichi

you're sitting on a bench, hand under your chin, giving him the most dramatic eyes ever.

"yoichi, when are you gonna stop playing soccer and start playing me?"

he CHOKES mid-bite of his sandwich. you’ve been doing this for weeks. he’s used to the pickup lines, the little winks, the "what if i kissed you rn lol jk... unless?" energy.

but today? oh he’s had ENOUGH.

“what if i did kiss you right now?”

silence.

you blink. your brain hits a blue screen error.

"what?"

"you always say that stuff. so what if i actually did it?"

you panic.

you THROW YOUR OWN SANDWICH AT HIM.

“don’t do that. i’m too delicate. i’ll combust. i’ll faint on the spot.”

he cackles. absolutely loves how you can be a flirt and a coward at the same time.

he starts throwing your lines back at you. suddenly isagi’s texting you at 1 AM like “i’m so delicious you know 🤤” and you’re clutching your pillow screaming into it.

itoshi sae

you always flirt with him when he’s least expecting it. like when he’s brushing his teeth. or doing taxes.

"sae, when are you gonna marry me so i can kiss you good morning every day and give you little bento boxes that say ‘good luck, honey’?"��

he's brushing his teeth. he’s staring at you in the mirror like you’re a walking headache.

“you want to kiss me every morning?”

“... no. that’s not what i said. i don’t even know you like that. who are you.”

you run. flee the scene.

sae chases you down the hallway with his toothbrush still in his mouth. “say it again, coward.”

you’re under a table texting rin for backup.

bonus: sae starts quoting your pickup lines when you least expect it.

"what do you want to do first? eat, bathe, or me?" he says this deadpan in a restaurant and you drop your drink.

aiku oliver

THE WORST ONE TO FLIRT WITH. DO NOT DO IT. HE WILL FLIRT BACK.

you walk up to him during practice like, “i brought you water, pretty boy. drink it and think of me.”

he takes the bottle, winks, and goes, “sure, babe. if you’re what hydration tastes like, i’m gonna need gallons.”

you explode. your brain does not have the processing speed to handle oliver aiku.

“i’m kidding! i’m KIDDING! we’re friends! i’m just a silly little guy!”

“silly little guys don’t call me pretty with that much eye contact.”

he lives for your flirty lines and the way you instantly crumble when he flips the script.

“hey, gorgeous.”

“please be serious i have a weak heart.”

he’s constantly calling you out. “you told me i was ‘so hot you wanted to risk it all’ yesterday. and now you’re turning pink because i called you ‘cutie’?”

yes. yes you are.

karasu tabito

he thinks your one-liners are HILARIOUS.

he flirts back once and you hit him with the “who said that. don’t make me take this seriously” defense mechanism.

“you said you wanted to lick whipped cream off my abs yesterday.”

“i was JOKING.”

“you had a whipped cream can in your hand.”

he starts keeping score.

flirty lines from you: +1.

your panicked denial after: +10.

he 100% makes a powerpoint for your birthday called “top 10 times you flirted like a menace and ran away from consequences.”

slides include quotes like “tabi if you were dessert i’d never skip dinner again” and your reaction when he said “okay then, bite me” (you fainted, it was dramatic).

nagi seishiro

he doesn’t understand flirting. but he does understand that you turn bright red every time he repeats your lines.

you: “sei, you’re so fine i’d let you ruin my life.”

nagi: “okay. how do i do that?”

you: “what do you mean how do you– HUH??”

“do i just sit on you or something?”

you scream into the void.

he genuinely thinks your flirty lines are just jokes. until one day he mimics your tone and says, “i’m so delicious, you know?”

and you combust. you literally trip over the couch.

“don’t do that. you’re not allowed. only i can be the menace here.”

“but you get all weird and sweaty when i do it. it’s funny.”

he’s addicted now. whenever you flirt, he just gives you bedroom eyes and goes “mm, yeah, me too.”

you haven’t known peace since.

kaiser michael

you flirted with him ONCE and he hasn’t let you live it down since.

you were feeling bold one morning and went, “you’re so fine, i’d let you break my heart and still say thank you.”

kaiser didn’t even blink. just leaned in, cocky smirk and all.

“then let’s not waste time. bed or balcony?”

YOU SHORT-CIRCUIT SO HARD YOU HIT HIM WITH YOUR BAG.

“I WAS JOKING. GOD HAS ABANDONED ME.”

he lives to watch you crumble. you’re a walking contradiction and he’s obsessed.

starts intentionally flirting back just to see the panic in your eyes.

“hey, pretty boy.”

“i’m prettier in bed, you know.”

“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. RESPECT YOURSELF.”

he respects you so much he tells everyone your pickup lines. “this one once told me ‘i’m so delicious you’ll never want another meal’ and then choked on air when i said ‘bon appétit.’”

you hate him. you also flirt with him again the next day. it's a sickness.

itoshi rin

the most dangerous game.

you flirt with rin purely because he reacts like a cat staring at a laser pointer. pure judgment.

“rin, if we lived together, would you want to eat, bathe, or do me first?”

he stares. unimpressed. “i’d move out.”

you laugh it off like “haha okay cold prince.”

but then one day, he breaks.

you say something like “you should let me sit on your lap during team meetings. i’m cuter than your teammates.”

and he goes, “fine. try it.”

silence.

“WHAT.”

“you said it. don’t back out now.”

and you just evaporate into thin air.

your soul leaves your body. rin’s casually holding open his arms and you’re hitting the eject button on life.

and ever since that day, rin casually flirts back just to mess with you.

“don’t say things you can’t commit to,” he says every time you flirt. “or do you want to prove it this time?”

you’ve never known fear until rin calls your bluff.

shidou ryusei

you flirt with him because you thought he’d be too unhinged to take it seriously. you thought wrong.

first time you said “i’m hotter than hell, baby. want a taste?” he said, “yeah, let’s start with your thighs.”

YOU FROZE LIKE A WINDOWS ERROR POPUP.

“WH– I– NOT LIKE THAT–”

“nah you started this. now i’m invested.”

every time you flirt now, he takes it as a personal challenge.

you say, “you’re so hot it’s actually disrespectful.”

he winks. “cool. wanna get on your knees and teach me manners?”

YOU PASS OUT.

he fans you with a plate like “bro what happened to all that confidence?”

he calls you "flirty mcfragile" behind your back. and to your face.

“what’s up, bark-and-no-bite?”

you ban yourself from flirting around him but he bait-flirts you like it’s a sport.

“damn, i look good today. don’t you want to say something sexy to me?”

“NO. YOU’RE EVIL. STOP BAITING ME.”

"can't help it. i’m just so delicious, y’know?"

shidou uses your own lines against you like a weapon and you're too weak to stop him.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

taeyong

after long schedules he'd immediately check on you either irl or call/text to make sure you're okay, and his soft voice and concern literally making u melt.

he gets soso shy from ur compliments, usually laughs it off meanwhile it's stuck on replay in his head for the rest of the day..

he'd fix ur hair during photoshoots and pretends it's professionalism while his fingers linger a little longer..!

customizes some choreos so u guys are purposely together! he sometimes says it's "a pure coincidence"???

i feel like he'd bake cookies for u. then say the members helped. but it truly was all him.

during meetings he'd sometimes lose focus bc he's distracted by u!

during your alone times in the practice room, you'd find romantic and sweet notes taeyong had made hidden in your bag

i want to say he's the king of words of affirmation.

johnny

teaser. but as soon as u guys are alone, his teases get softer and more flirty.

DEF the type to pull a random cheesy ass pickup line out of the blue. "did it hurt? ... when u fell from heaven." (THOSE kinds)

purposely shows off his strength to u during practice, lifting heavy props as if it was nothing

if he notices u haven't drank water in a while during practice or before rehearsals or WHENEVER, he'd actually place a drink in ur hand and go "gotta keep my girl hydrated." JBJSJSBDS??

always insist on walking u home or offering to stay at his dorm if it's late. he wants u to be safe!

calls u late at night to yap sometimes, he loves to hear u laugh

he'd stay close to u in group activities to ensure ur comfortable and feel included (my sweetie pie)

walking anywhere in public if there was a mob of fans, you will ALWAYS be in front of him. he needs to make sure ur safe at all times.

he'd compliment ur stage outfits. a lot. most of the time he can't hold back his smile!

he'd teach u japanese FOR SURE. if you suck at pronounciation, he's patient as hell, and find your mistakes actually cute.

loooooong hugs if ur feeling down/upset!!!!!

lowkey steal ur phone to take selfies of himself (idk??)

doyoung

always always always notices when ur feeling down, literally offers u ur fav snack or drink!

stays up late rehearsing with u, soft encouragement pushing u through.

but it's hard bc.. how could u not fall asleep to his angelic voice ?!

lovesss teaching u new things, always there to guide u through new songs and choreo, his hand brushing urs every now & then

becomes surprisingly shy when the members tease him for how much he cares abt u (hes so cute ☹️)

takes lots of candid photos! if ur not confident in yourself that day, he deletes the photos upon ur request

always saves a spot next to him reserved for YOU and ONLY YOU. lowkey subtly tho, he just wants u close tbh

ur the only one that can make him flustered when u compliment his singing voice bc it's just... special to him??

he'll literally insist on giving u his scarf or coat on chilly days, as long as ur warm it's enough for him!

jaehyun

he'd offer u his jacket even if it's freezing. he doesn't care.

literally the epitome of a gentleman?! holds the door open for u, walks on the sidewalk nearest to the road, and all that shizzle.

very often watches u quietly during practice, just gazes at u honestly

loves taking u out to places quiet and intimate and shares personal stories

gets jealous. but like SO subtly, he just becomes extra attentive if he sees any sort of human flirt with u.

he'd help with vocal practices but honestly, he just does it so u guys are in a private area tg. only u two.

jungwoo

loves making u laugh and smile

subtly touching ur hand in group activites, pretending it's unintentional

idk i feel like he's an emoji guy... expect emojis every time u text!

i feel like he'd always share food with u and offers u bites like it's so natural, yall do it a lot

if u have long hair, expect him to play with it often!

also gets flustered when the members tease him abt how much he likes you!!!!!

u guys would often have movie nights, being cuddled up tg under a blanket.

he'd start serenading u just out of the blue. bursting out a random love song and singing it!

mark

don't even get me started on how many songs/raps this man has made about you.

he'd perform some of them only for u but he's madly blushing during!

he'd ask for ur opinion on everything. he values ur thoughts sooo much

becomes so tongue-tied every compliment u give him, he actually can't function ?? mark.exe has stopped working. he'd be smiling like a loser

actually gets excited if ur paired tg for interviews and projects! his energy gets so high, it's like ur presence just gives him dopamine

he gets protective when you're overwhelmed, "let me handle this, okay?" ......heh...

he'd learn ur fav songs on the guitar and play them when ur around to see ur reaction.

pretends to steal ur food but ends up giving u the last bite

he'd poke u every now and then, laughing at ur reaction every time

playfully try to hold ur hand in group photos, either discreetly or evidently

during karaoke nights he'd sooo dramatically sing love songs to u, he loves showing off his voice since it's one of ur absolute fav things about him

surprisingly gets serious when ur upset!

we all know how offline his insta is.. literally cobwebs forming.

but somehow he'd send you a memes late at night saying "this is us" .. is this man really as chronically offline as u thought?

he'd call u at night and just say "did u miss me yet?" this cheeky man..

gets jokingly jealous if u hang out with another member for so long, "hey, i'm your favourite, right?"

he'd make sure you're NEVER left out, he'll be hanging around with u a lot

My family and friends have wondered why I bothered to import a Japanese PA system van. In case you're unfamiliar, it is common in Japan – a country that generally values quiet and serenity – to use a van with an incredibly loud speaker on the roof and drive around town. Then you bark amplified political slogans and/or mild hate speech at random people on the street.

As you might expect, there is lots of domestic demand for used ones, especially among broke fringe parties that really want to force their particular kind of xenophobia into the eardrums of normal folks going about their day. Hardly anyone would think to send these wheezing, high-city-miles fashwagons reeking of cigarette smoke and desperation across the entire world in order to drive them on our roads. There is a reason for this. I will tell you the reason now.

You see, I too am a little political (especially at parties, after having a single sip of beer.) My campaign is simple, but I believe the message has the power to change hearts and minds, if not the entire world. Here, we are coming up on one of my campaign locations now. Yes, I am aware we are on the highway and the exhaust-gas-temperature gauge is indicating I am about to be buying a new set of pistons. Pipe down, because I'm piping up. Hold onto the steering wheel too; I haven't bothered to get this thing aligned and it keeps aiming for the ditch.

squawk ATTENTION "LARAMIE" EDITION DODGE RAM HOGGING THE LEFT LANE. A LUXURY PICKUP TRUCK IS CLASS TREASON. TO PAINT YOURSELF AS A WORKER BUT THEN SELL YOUR IDEALS FOR THE FALSE HEATED-SEAT COMFORTS OF THE BOURGEOISIE IS THE HIGHEST OF BETRAYALS. YOU WILL NOT BE SPARED IN THE INEVITABLE REVOLUTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Our Taiwanese friend and her husband named their little cat Hime (Japanese for princess, pronounced hee-may) because she’s truly a little princess.

Most of their friends are nerds who’ve seen enough anime to know how to say it. But their vet was a really lovely Indian man who spoke English as a second language and definitely didn’t know Japanese.

Which is how they got a call where he very hesitantly was like, “…Him… is ready for pickup.”

After they told him the right way to say it he switched to calling her “Hi-m”.

Hi there! I was thinking of a weird scenario

How do you think the jjk men would react to their darling getting slapped by another man in front of them?? Like their darling got in a fight with someone and then boom they get hit in the face💀💀

Takeout Takedown(Part 1)

Cw/Tw - non specific discrimination, Violence, blood, and gore(Geto)

Ft. Gojo, Geto, Nanami, and Toji

GN!Reader, Short fic style, dating for about 5-6 months, reader isn’t helpless/it’s not specified, the first few paragraphs are the build up and context for everything else. Next up - Sukuna, Mahito, Choso, and Kenjaku

What was supposed to be a quick pick up was now an awful argument between you and whoever this guy was. You’d ordered food for pick up, coming from after some shopping with your man, he was waiting out front but here you were. The bag of getting cold food, blocked, by this Neanderthal of a man.

Why you might ask, why the hell was he blocking you? Because there’s no way this was your order, that’s clearly not your name either, and that’s too much food for someone like you. Was he fat shaming, assuming you’re poor, all of the above?

Then this guy has the audacity to after making his points continuously interrupt you every time you tried to say anything. “That’s my boyfriend’s na-“ and he starts talking about how this place doesn’t even have good food that it’s just full of posers who can’t appreciate real Japanese food. It takes everything in you to not laugh at that, because what the absolute fuck is he going on about?

So instead while he’s busy, yappin, you lean to reach around him for the bag. Besides your lover was probably getting curious what was taking so long and might come in! Rather than wanting a big fiasco in public you just grab it and are about to turn to go when.

SMACK.

SATORU GOJO

Your passenger Princess was wondering, what had to be taking so long? The app said it was ready for pickup, you’d been in there for almost 10 minutes now too! He’d already gone through the glove box and console so now with nothing else, Gojo would come wait with you!

He was half expecting that when he pushed those doors open you’d bump into him with the food, but not you having just been cracked across the face falling into a nearby table. His cursed energy cracked and spit like hot oil as he rushed to lift you up, your lip busted and nose bleeding. You’re pulled into his strong arms still having to blink coming back from shock.

Gojo on the other hand looks to the guy, takes his phone out and takes his photo. Dave or whatever his name is, tries to puff up his chest to not seem intimidated. Gojo however is just smiling, and tucks his phone away after snapping the pic with a laugh, “Dang, our food is all over the floor, guess I’ll order us some more yeah lovely? I’ll get your favorite!”

Dave scoffs, crossing his arms, and kicks one of the spilled boxes of food, “you must be the supposed boyfriend huh? Honestly really disgusting what this world is coming to, look at you two! Also you can’t take my photo without my consent that’s ille-“

“Zip it. You’re lucky I’m not handling you myself,” Gojo says, his voice smooth and even, “go ahead though, tell me how a photo is illegal versus you harassing and hitting someone.”

You look between the two swallowing, a hand touching at your tender lip and nose feeling the warm blood on your face. Gojo looks down to you with such a sorry look, you knew he’d be blaming himself for this for a while. Dave however doesn’t seem to know when to quit cause he starts marching forward to stick a hand to gojo’s chest- caught by infinity.

Gojo sighs, looking to the other man who’s so surprised his hand isn’t moving and his lip twitches annoyed. Then, Gojo starts walking forward, infinity pushing Dave back and holding him to the wall. Gojo keeps walking forward the pressure crushing Dave against the wall more and more, broken wheezes coming from his blubbering mouth.

“I like to think I’m pretty fair! I gave you a chance to run, told you off, and am letting the proper people handle you. All of this because they wanted to grab our food.” Gojo gives a laugh shaking his head brushing a hand through those beautiful white locks, “C’mmoooooon you’re not even worth my breath! What, you visiting to see a maid cafe? To go hound on Japanese teen girls like in your hentai? Get a life or die.”

Almost in a flash The world is squishing with reality bending, morphing like those bad Ai generated videos. Then you’re outside the doors to Gojo’s apartment, and he’s still carrying you. He looks down with such a big sad puppy dog look and starts kissing you all over whining, “my baaabbbyyyyy! Oohhh I’m so so sorryyy!!!! I promise that won’t ever happen again!”

SUGURU GETO

You know he doesn’t like leaving you alone where there are monkeys. You know he doesn’t like being left alone where there are monkeys. He’s a patient man, very patient, but only to a degree.

He moves pushes open the doors watching the initial crack to your face and then you start to fall. He’s there in an instant catching you, pulling you to him chest an arm wrapping around and hiding the offending man. He’s gently cupping your cheek offering such a sweet smile when the horrid sounds begin.

A sickening crunch, the scuttling of chitin against the floor and other surfaces, something like crunching into a juicy watermelon- the scream. Geto lifts you up, keeping an arm in way of your view of what was happening as he softly smiles asking, “My love, let’s just have Miguel or Larou make something hmm? Miguel just got an order in to make some ugali and beef wet fry. Then Larou is always looking to cook for us.”

You can see the blood starting to pool towards Geto’s feet, and a hand clawing at the tiles. The horrified shriek of the woman behind the counter as she runs into the back again, and the pained groans of the man. You felt sick to your stomach, your face hurts, but Geto still tried to hide the sight of his curses devouring the man.

You curl into his arms and he sighs rubbing your back kissing the top of your head, “There there, let’s get your face cleaned up hmm? Lover, I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

You both begin to move out, backs to the horror behind. You swallow, trying to calm yourself, you’ve seen the horror of being a sorcerer but still it gets you sometimes. Geto always is so sweet, you often forget that in the end he’s considered the worst jujustu terrorist for a reason…

KENTO NANAMI

He’s patient, calm, collected, and- okay he’s worried. Maybe he doesn’t show it often but he’s a bit clingy so when what should’ve been 5 minutes at most turned into a full 10 minutes he’s up.

He’s in that door looking like he’s not worried at all but the moment he sees you trying to catch yourself on the table after being hit? Another resounding CRACK with clattering echos in the restaurant. You jolt and jump up looking around just to see Nanami rolling his wrist and flexing his hand with a huff.

The guy who’d hit you, was now over the cashier counter knocked into the cups that were stacked by the coffee pots. Cups have fallen everywhere and he’s got a busted lip that’s already swollen and bruising hard. Nanami only has slightly red knuckles, he’s crouching, kneeling to you like a prince offering his hand, “Lover of mine, come here. We’re going to mine and I’m running you a bath. I’ll see if Shoko is available to heal you.”

You smile and take his hand, he’s pulling out a handkerchief and wiping at your face with such tenderness and concern. The guy behind the counter is fully knocked out, and girl working the register has no clue what to do other than sigh with defeat and grab a broom. Once standing Nanami takes out his wallet laying down a wad of bills apologizing, “sorry to have caused such a mess, I’m glad you’re alright miss.” With that you two leave.

TOJI FUSHIGURO

Toji is happy to wait in the car, have the hot food brought to him to be sat in his lap so he could snack on it as you drove them back to your place. Except, where were you, and where was the food? He wasn’t particularly paying attention to how long you’d taken but whatever.

He’s pulled down the mirror to pick at something in his teeth, when you open the door. “Heya babe, what took-“ he cuts himself off his brows pulling down when he sees the busted lip, the tears in your puffy eyes. He clicks his tongue and opens the door starting to get out, “one sec, be right back.”

His slippers slap against the pavement as he comes into the shop eyes lazily looking over the food scattered on the floor and the man who’d hit you talking off the ear of the girl behind the counter about how people can be so disrespectful these days to “culture”. He nods to himself looking about and walks slow to stand behind the guy, the girl’s eyes bugging out of her head seeing Toji and he gives her a charming smile.
