#does anyone know how a student can learn how to make a really cool looking and sounding game without a team or money

[arkyfox]

Two player rhythm game idea where one person plays the rhythm part and the other person moves the character around to dodge attacks and explore

When there's no danger or puzzles to music at the rhythm player can freestyle

Everything requires (usually simple) rhythm mechanics, cooperating to use the shop is actually hell when the rhythm player doesn't like what the character player wants to get

Rhythm player annoys the shit out of the character player by playing the exact same song over and over again and the character player annoys the shit out of the rhythm player by failing really basic platforming (both unironically and ironically)

There's audio cues for attacks that character player has to listen for with certain musical motifs signaling what sort of enemy or elemental attack while in battle or solving puzzles so they have a very musically driven experience

The rhythm player has to watch for certain visual cues like platforming patterns and color schemes to determine what kind of tempo or surprise rhythms/ mechanics they need to pay attention to and is overall a visually driven experience

By timing specific musical notes with abilities or dance moves the players can perform skills that give health/ stat boosts/ special puzzle abilities/ epic attack

There is no way there wouldn't be a learning curve but by the end of the game, both players learn to cooperate to bring out there full potential (falling into ravines on accident and endlessly playing the Pokemon theme song)

There are several Easter eggs referencing other games such as the character player crouching on a green pipe and the rhythm player playing the first notes of the underground Mario theme and something happening

hi hi!! what do you think ab idia with a (normally introverted, but maybe similar to him in the sense that they get unusually excited about things they're passionate/a fan of) yuu whos basically his simp?? like the no.2 biggest idia fan (only coming after ortho ofc!!)

like idia's doing absolutely NOTHING and they're staring at him "siiiigh isn't he so cool <3" while everyone thinks they have some issues

sorry if this sounds rambley ghhhfhhghhf

𐙚 Idia Shroud

He wouldn’t have expected anyone to ever act that way towards him, but especially not you— There was… something he picked up on the first time you talked, a sort of weird feeling he got when he noticed the way you stared at him. But how was he supposed to guess that you’d develop this sort of admiration towards him, out of all people in this world…?

Idia honestly assumed that the only reason you were looking at him so intensely was because you thought he was weird. It just felt so obvious? He doesn’t know the details of your arrival to NRC, but everyone in school knows you’re a real outsider. So he just… subconsciously concluded you’d think he was weird and that’s all. Hell, even regular NRC students think he’s weird.

The first compliment he hears feels like… honestly, just a really pleasant surprise? You said something about his technology, he doesn’t really remember what now— Something about it being impressive that he managed to get his tablet to do what it does. The blazes of his hair expand as they grow pink and he freezes for a moment before stammering out his response. ”Y…You think so? It’s… not even my best work, though. Heh.”

…It makes him a little bit cocky. At least for a while. He was seriously expecting you to be judgemental, but it turns out you think the things he does are cool? Maybe you two could even become friends, you’re so curious about the things he does, and he’s definitely willing to explain them in detail, he’s wanted to for a while—

Of course, however, there are only so many compliments Idia can handle before his brain starts to malfunction. He ends up inviting you to play a game with him on call after you said you wanted to learn how to play it, and that’s where things start going beyond Idia’s comprehension. He shows you how to do something, could be a really simple thing, and you’re immediately awed. He starts wondering if you’re actually making fun of him, his explanations getting disrupted by stutters—

Idia waits for your “true” mocking intentions to become clear. They never do, no matter how much he fumbles his words, or even the things he’s doing in the game. You just keep copying him, any of his nerve-induced, totally amateur mistakes going over your head. Raving about how cool it was and how skilled he is and how much fun you’re having. He really just can’t keep up with it. You couldn’t be serious, even though it sounded like you couldn’t be anything but serious.

He drops the call suddenly, too flustered to continue, and the day after you come up to him to ask if everything was okay. You keep staring at him with those big eyes, full of admiration even Idia’s self-deprecation can’t deny. How the hell did someone like you end up in his life? He gives out an excuse while he tries and fails to process the whole situation. You’re talking about how you’re glad he’s alright and looking forwars to the next time you’ll game together. This does not feel real. Not at all.

Idia finds that he doesn’t hate it. Not in the slightest, really. He’s only human after all, of course it feels good to be admired, and you’re always really nice and fun to spend time with. But, especially when he sees you sighing dreamily over him as you talk to your friends, who just look at you like they can’t believe the words coming out of your mouth, he can’t help but agree with their sentiment— Even though he’s still not complaining about the sudden attention at all. And, really, he never will.

Jobs if the Band Doesn't Work Out - Corroded Coffin Version

Masterlist | Corroded Coffin Masterlist

This came to me after @roseareeh said they head canon Jeff as a huge history nerd and I agree and ran with it ; thank you for help with Grant's job as well!

Includes: Eddie, Jeff, Gareth and Grant (Freak) - all x gn!reader

Warnings: Literally None just thoughts about the boys — I would love to see everyone else’s two cents here, do you agree with me? Have other jobs for them? I’m curious!

Eddie:

(Word Count: 245)

Eddie definitely owns his own little record store that he made his own

Like, his own style is definitely throughout that entire fucking store

No, like he has records, he has posters, he has little trinkets that he thinks are super cool that he just needs to show off to everyone

There’s Dungeons and Dragons figurines all around the counters and whenever he sees anyone looking at them he goes full nerd mode and starts gushing about the game and how cool it is (and how they too can start playing and become a dungeon master just like him!)

He lets customers pick which record to play throughout the store when they come in, seriously, just ask and he will put the record on. As much as it’s his store he knows that not everyone is too fond of his music so he likes to have a nice balance

That’s how he came home whistling Madonna songs one night and you just looked up at him and raised an eyebrow with a small smirk on your face

He claims this group of teenage girls came in looking for her newest album so he put her music on to not scare them but he let it play all day

So, now he’s secretly a Madonna fan and he has a group of teenage girls who came in once to buy one album to thank (sometimes you’ll visit randomly just to see what music he has playing)

Jeff:

(Word Count: 245)

Jeff is definitely a high school history teacher, specifically World History

He has always been a history nerd all throughout school, he just loves learning about history especially history around the world

He tries his best to be the fun and cool teacher, he knows not many people like history and that he himself is a huge exception to that… so, he does what he can to show his students that history is fun

He brings out activities, he brings out games, he brings out videos, he does anything in his power to ensure that his students are listening and understanding the material he is teaching

And, the students love him, they really do

After his first year teaching, he came home with a bunch of gifts and teary eyed and when you asked him what was wrong he told you that some students told him he was the best history teacher they ever had and that made his year

Jeff is also one of those teachers that advocates for his students and they all know that his door is open for them for anything. Need to talk? He’s there. Need help with homework? He’s there. Need someone to listen or offer advice? Believe your ass, he’s there

He loves teaching and he loves his students because he knows what it was like to be in their shoes and he just wants to make sure every student is shown the love and respect they deserve

Gareth:

(Word Count: 257)

Gareth is definitely a mechanic, he loves working on cars and fixing them up

Now, I’m only saying this because he likes to be really hands on in his work (thanks to the drums), so he loves taking things apart and putting them back together

No, like, he loves just seeing how things work and how to fix them

If your car needs an oil change, or it’s making a weird noise or driving weird you know just who to go to and he will be able to fix it because he’s that good

He will geek out and talk about a job that he did during the day and something that like, no one else could figure out but he did and you just sit there and nod with a small smile because, what the fuck does the transmission do?

He’s always talking about tools he needs and you just take him to the store for his birthday because, let’s be real… let the man pick it out himself so you don’t get it wrong

You’ll take your car to get serviced and request him to work on it and will always be sure to bring him lunch because he deserves it

He looks really cute in that little mechanics uniform too, and he comes home just smelling of grease and oil but it’s so funny to watch him walk to the bathroom as soon as he gets home to take a shower (it’s his own little walk of shame that makes you giggle so hard)

Grant (Freak):

(Word Count: 230)

Grant is definitely an electrician

He just is really good with his hands and using his critical thinking skills which makes him excel in a job like that

He is the best one for the job when it comes to fixing any messed up electrical but he also is really good at installing new electrical as well

He also just loves all the precision that being an electrician comes with and he is actually so precise and uses that skill to his benefit

He came into this job by accident, actually. His dad was an electrician and he never really had the dream to follow into his footsteps but it just kind of happened…

Like, he was upset and was job hunting and went to work with his dad one day to actually see what he does and he really was surprised to see what his dad does for a living? And he wanted to learn how to do just that same job

And now he actually has a job that he adores and he has no one to thank but his dad and his friends that

Actually, it’s pretty cool because you and Grant bought a new house together that needs to be fixed up, and he was able to do all the electrical work needed in that house to make sure it was just how you wanted it

What started the fire ~ N.K.

Pairing: Nanami Kento x Haibara’s sister!Reader

Summary: before the jujutsu Life saberes taking things from you, before the fire ignited there were sparks, pretty and gentle. Maybe it was because of your brother, or maybe it was because of his classmate.

CW (content warning): Haibara’s still alive, the origin of Kento’s and Y/N’s pinning, mentions of injuries and death. This is set during the Hidden inventory arch. You don’t necessarily have to read my previous work but I strongly recommend it since this is a prequel of THIS.

AN (author’s note): I’m sorry about this one, I just really loved writing What the fire left behind and I was in an angsty mood so here we are🫡 As always a reminder that English isn’t my first language and I’m typing this on my phone so I’m sorry if there’re any typos/mistakes. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! :)

Requests are open so feel free to send yours! (you can check the list of characters I write for on my pinned post)

Masterlist || Next part >>

Yu Haibara always had this reckless, brilliant energy about him, like a star burning twice as bright and half as long.

You used to tell him he was annoying. He used to ruffle your hair and say “That’s what makes me awesome.”

And that was true. He really was awesome. He was also your whole world.

Which meant you couldn’t help but feel territorial when he started dragging that quiet, brooding boy around like a shadow with a pulse.

“Kento this, Kento that.” You mimicked as you followed them across campus one humid afternoon. “Seriously, the guy can’t even be that cool c’mon.”

Yu didn’t even glance back. “Don’t be jealous. Kento doesn’t have to be that cool, just cooler than you.” He smirks at you, amused. That earns him an elbow to the ribs. “Hey! That’s rude!”

You don’t say anything, you just grumble as you cross your arms and refuse to look at your brother.

“C’mon Sparks you know you’re still my favourite.” The nickname and the soft tone in his voice makes you forgive him almost instantly.

You still huff in response. “I better be, I’m the one who’s been putting up with you our whole lives.”

He laughs and wraps his arm around your shoulders. The world seems brighter, full of good things and future.

——————————————————————————

The first time Nanami talks you you’re both at the library.

"You dropped your curse tool.”

You blink, startled, turning toward the voice in the courtyard.

He’s sitting on a bench in the shade, tall and rigid, sleeves rolled neatly to his elbows. A paperback novel rests in one hand, something dense and philosophical, from the look of it. He doesn’t glance at you again.

You bend, pick up the slim dagger you hadn’t even noticed slipping from your belt.

“Thanks.” You say.

Still no reply. Only the turn of a page.

You’ve only been a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High for two weeks. And already, you’re beginning to understand how strange this place really is. Your classmates fight like they’re born to bleed, the teachers are all varying degrees of unhinged, and the curses, they’re uglier than any storybook monster you ever imagined.

But the weirdest part by far is him.

Kento Nanami.

Your brother’s best friend. Second-year. Brilliant. Cold as hell.

He barely speaks to anyone but Yu. And now, apparently, he’s silently judging your ability to hang onto your own weapons.

You glance back at him. “You always this friendly?”

His mouth twitches. Almost a smirk. “Only to new recruits.”

You grin despite yourself.

——————————————————————————

You learn quickly that Nanami doesn’t do small talk.

He doesn’t laugh when Gojo tells one of his ridiculous jokes. He doesn’t join in on sparring banter. He doesn’t flirt with the third-years like Yu does. He just trains. Reads. Sharpens his blades with the meticulousness of a surgeon.

But you talk. And Haibara talks. And little by little, he listens.

It starts with lunch.

You’re sitting under the sakura tree, biting into an overly dry onigiri, when Haibara plops down beside you.

“Kento’s here too!” He says brightly, gesturing behind him to a brooding Kento that totally looks like he’s here against his will.

Sure enough, Nanami settles on the other side of the tree with his usual silence, a neatly packed bento in his lap.

You nudge his arm with your elbow.

“Are we your assigned lunch partners now?”

He sighs. “You’re the only ones who don’t talk during every bite.”

“I definitely talk during bites.” You reply.

Nanami side-eyes you. “Yes. I noticed.”

Haibara chokes on his rice laughing.

——————————————————————————

You and Haibara have always been close.

Not in the codependent way that some siblings are, but in the way of two people who survived the same war zone called childhood and came out holding hands.

He’s the reason you joined Jujutsu High at all. He didn’t want you to, at least not at first. Not after watching what curse exposure did to your aunt. But after some time, Haibara had looked at you, bright-eyed and foolishly kind, and said “We could protect people together. Wouldn’t that be cool?”

And like always, you followed him.

Now he’s a second-year, and you’re the newbie still learning how to contain your cursed energy without giving yourself a migraine. He walks you through hand signs, sparring drills, and what snacks Gojo’s most likely to steal if you’re not paying attention.

He’s sunshine in human form.

Which is probably why he fits so well next to Nanami’s stormclouds.

The two of them are opposites, light and dark, laughter and restraint. But together, they work.

And more and more, you find yourself orbiting them both.

——————————————————————————

One afternoon, you’re sitting in the training yard after class, bruised and exhausted. Your blouse is torn at the sleeve, and your cursed energy’s fluctuating like a dying lightbulb. You lean back on your hands, catching your breath.

“You’re pushing too hard.” Nanami’s voice says behind you.

You don’t look up. “I need to keep up.”

“You need to not get yourself killed.”

You squint at him. “That concern I hear? From the great Nanami Kento?”

He sighs and sits beside you.

“Don’t flatter yourself.” He mutters, his tone is equally sharp and flat, but the way he hands you a water bottle while he says that makes you smile.

The silence stretches between you. It’s not awkward. It never is with him. Just quiet.

“Yu says you’ve got potential.” He says finally.

You raise a brow. “Do you think so?”

“I think potential means nothing without discipline.”

You smirk. “Then it’s a good thing I’ve got you to keep me in line.”

He glances at you. “I’m not your handler.”

“No.” You say, softer now. “But you care. Even if you hate it.”

His jaw ticks. But he doesn’t deny it and if you had just looked at him long enough you might have been able to see the ghost of a smile forming on his lips.

——————————————————————————

Not too long after that, you found Nanami training alone in the courtyard at night, sweat beading down his temple, curses lingering at the edges of the boundary field.

He was good. Better than you’d expected. Precise. Relentless.

But his arm faltered on the follow-through of a strike, and the curse clipped his ribs. He didn’t flinch, just reset his stance.

You stepped out of the shadows. “You’re bleeding.” You said.

He didn’t startle, as if he had already known you were there. “I’m aware.”

You walked to him, grabbed the gauze from your coat pocket, you always carried some, because your brother was an idiot, and held it out.

He stared at it for a moment before taking it.

“You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, you know.” You said. “I remember someone telling me not to push myself too far.”

His brows furrowed. “What makes you think I’m trying to?”

“Because I do the same thing.” You replied.

He was silent as he pressed the gauze to his ribs.

Then, without looking at you, he spoke again. “Your brother doesn’t think I’m good enough.”

You blinked. “What?” You asked, completely dumbfounded, he had to be kidding. “He thinks you’re some kind of hero.”

“He won’t say it. But I know.”

You scoffed. “Kento, my brother once tried to befriend a Special Grade curse because he thought it looked lonely. You think he has standards?”

That earned you a faint smirk. The first you’d ever seen from him.

You held your breath like a prayer.

Then he said “You called me by my first name.”

You tilted your head. “You don’t like it?”

He didn’t answer. But he didn’t ask you to stop, either.

——————————————————————————

Over the weeks, a pattern forms.

He trains with you on the weekends, correcting your stance with careful hands, never lingering too long. He reads near you in the library, always silent but always there. When missions go bad, he’s the first to ask how you’re holding up, never in those words, but in the way he sets tea beside your bed and walks away without needing thanks.

You know what it is. You’re young, but you’re not naive.

You like him. More than you should. More than you’re willing to admit, at least for now

He’s not much better. He notices everything about you, your presence lingering everywhere he looks, your voice echoing in his thoughts. The way you tease him stops being annoying, the smiles you give him starts getting warmer and he finds himself being drawn to a warmth he hasn’t felt before.

He likes you. More than he should. More than he’s willing to admit, at least for now.

——————————————————————————

One night, it rains hard.

You’re caught outside the dorms, soaked through, cursing your luck. When you make it to the common building, shivering, Nanami is already there, sitting in the corner, reading.

He looks up. Sees you and sighs.

“Come here.”

You obey, dripping all over the floor. He shrugs off his coat and drapes it over your shoulders.

It smells like clean linen and something deeper like paper and steel and him.

“You’ll catch a fever.” He mutters.

“You sound like my brother.”

“He’s smarter than you are.”

You laugh, teeth chattering. “Yeah. He is.”

Nanami hands you a cup of tea. Your fingers brush. His are warm. Steady.

You don’t look at him.

You can’t. Because if you do, you’ll say something you can’t take back.

He looks at you, small frame covered by his coat. He opens his mouth and closes it. The words you’re too afraid to say out loud almost falling off his lips.

——————————————————————————

But it's Haibara who says it.

One lazy spring afternoon, you’re sitting on the roof of the dorms, sketching quietly. He flops beside you, sun in his hair, a juice box in hand.

“You like him.” He says casually.

You freeze. “What?” You ask, hoping that, if you acted as if you had no idea what he was talking about he might just drop it.

He doesn’t.

“Kento. You’ve got the look.” You try to scoff. Fail. “You both have it.”

Haibara grins. “It’s okay. I get it. He’s cool in a tragic, boring kind of way.”

You elbow him. “Shut up.”

“But seriously.” He says, quieter now. “He’s messed up, you know.”

You glance at him.

“More than you realize.” He continues. “He sees too much. Feels too little. I think he’s scared of caring.” He pauses for a moment before adding something. “I think you’re good for him.”

You swallow. “Are you not afraid of caring?”

He smiles, soft. “I’m terrified.”

But he laughs anyway. Because that’s who Haibara is.

Was.

——————————————————————————

The last mission you ever share with both of them happens in mid-June. A cursed spirit outbreak near a middle school. Class two. Supposedly manageable.

Haibara makes a joke on the way there. Nanami rolls his eyes. You tell them both you’ve got their backs.

No one realizes it’s a setup until it’s too late.

There are four of them. Special grade parasites masquerading as lesser curses. Ambush tactics. Coordinated attacks. Designed to separate.

Nanami is already bleeding when you find him. Back to a wall, arm slashed from shoulder to wrist.

You fight like hell.

Haibara joins you mid-battle, all adrenaline and shouts.

Together, you win. But not without cost.

You all make it back alive, but just barely.

Later, in the infirmary, Nanami sits beside your bed while you sleep. Bandaged, bruised, breathing shallow.

When Shoko finds him there, he doesn’t move for hours.

“She could’ve died.” He says.

“But she didn’t.” Shoko replies.

“She will. One day.”

Shoko doesn’t argue.

Because she knows. And so does he.

——————————————————————————

A week later, Haibara is dead.

You don’t get to say goodbye. Neither does Nanami really.

The mission that kills your brother is supposed to be routine.

He smiles before he leaves. Ruffles your hair, just like he had done thousands of times before. Says, “Be good. I’ll bring back dinner.”

He never comes home.

Nanami comes back different. Hollow. Eyes like glass.

You wait in your room for hours that night, waiting for someone to tell you it’s not real.

Nanami doesn’t knock. He just walks in. Sits beside you.

Neither of you says anything. Because what is there to say?

The person who made the world make sense is gone.

And nothing is left but ashes.

“He wanted you to live.” Nanami said quietly.

“I don’t care.”

“You should.”

You turned to him, voice sharp. “Why? So I can keep watching everyone I love die?”

He stepped closer. Hesitated.

Then said, “Because he wouldn’t forgive me if I let you fade away.”

You stared at him and whispered, “And what about you, Kento? Are you gonna fade away too?”

He looked down. “Maybe.”

You took his hand. Held it tight.

“Don’t.” You pleaded.

“I won’t.” And he didn’t. Not then. Not yet.

——————————————————————————

Time goes by and he breaks his promise.

Nanami withdraws. Files his resignation. Leaves Jujutsu High behind.

You don’t stop him. You can’t.

Because something in you breaks too and no one can put it back.

But you remember the way his hand wrapped around yours that night. Steady. Unshaking. Like he was anchoring you both to the world.

And later, years later, you will hold onto that memory like it’s holy.

Like it’s the last real thing left of the boy who walked away from death and became a man made of stone.

taglist is open so let me know if you want to be added for future works! :)

university ghoul dynamics part 2 of 2. I blame @skele-bunny and @everybodyshusband /aff this is about a student teacher relationship but they are both consenting adults and the age gap isn't drastic (think like 25&30)

non-binary, disabled young uni teacher rain with a fresh phd & audhd student aeon that picked a random degree so his parents would fuck off

aeon with parent issues, completely disinterested in all his classes, but smart, so he passes it all anyways. barely, but he does—he'd be a top student if he gave it more than the bare minimum

there's one class that he pays attention to, since the first meeting. a non-binary teacher 30 years younger than the rest of his professors and not much older than aeon himself. someone actually just...cool, with a gentle yet commanding voice that's just captivating and makes even the stubborn students just want to listen. rain seems passionate about their class, too, which makes it even more pleasant to listen because it’s obvious they actually want to be there and teach, and it’s not just a job they have to make a living

rain's class is the only one aeon attends regularly and actually listens to a little bit, but he's still aeon and he’s still on the spectrum. it's not like he's suddenly a passionate academic just because one of his teachers is cool. rain notices, ofc, and they also consider themself cool and approachable so they decide to talk to aeon about it. maybe he has some problems, maybe he has a learning disability, etc. rain intends to help, if they can

something something it turns out aeon never had anyone caring for him or his needs in any capacity and it's not long before he becomes strangely attached to rain. they're aware and they know they should stop it and definitely not let it go any further but...but there's something about helping aeon that kinda. fulfills them

when they were a student they had a lot of problems because of their gender identity and disability and they didn't have any teachers that would care and it made them hate university despite being so passionate. they took a gap year or two before their masters and phd and ended up loving it all over again but they still remember how it felt not being taken seriously and they don't want that for aeon

a few months and they totally fall in love. it's awkward and neither of them knows what to do about it and neither of them is even sure that the other feels the same and the simple fact that they're a teacher and a student, even if they're both adults with a not-so-big age difference

I think aeon always packs slowly at the end of the classes, lingers so he can be the last one to leave and maybe exchange a few words with rain. next semester aeon signs up for additional classes the moment he sees some of them are rain's

I think there would be a moment when like. aeon is slow as usual in getting out of the class. rain has a bad pain day and struggles with carrying some of their stuff and they end up dropping it. aeon is on his knees picking it up in a second and rain will not admit what aeon on his knees before him and looking up at them with a sweet smile and puppy eyes did to them

maybe rain invites him for coffee one time. to discuss his academic future, of course. nothing else. right?

they both feel it's so wrong but it reaches a point where they just. can't not be together

aeon not telling rain how far from university he actually lives and getting up at like. 5am to come pick rain up when they're in a flareup and can't get to uni themself but have to come teach

aeon throwing a tantrum when the elevator isn't working even though rain insist it's fine

(stolen from felix) rain emailing aeon telling him to come to office hours to talk, and when aeon gets there it turns out rain just wanted to say that they're...look, they're not disappointed, but they can see that aeon's not living up to his full potential, and they'd really like to see him working a bit harder in class if he's able to. they're more than willing to help him out with certain concepts and accommodate his needs to allow this to happen etc etc. and aeon doesn't really know why (we do though, it's the parental issues) but something about rain at their desk, peering over their round wire-rimmed glasses and telling him to work harder is doing something for him and he doesn't know how to feel about it. something about how gentle they are about it too, like they're not angry, they just want to see him work harder and be true to his abilities and they're genuinely willing to help him achieve that

[midnight---hollow]

I dont know how comprehensible this is because im dyslexic and didnt spell check before writing anything down but i wanted to draw some of the interactions i think rose would have with the cast. I was gonna do more but i felt i could make them funny later on

Under read more imma talk about the situations i doodled :D

I think rose and idia have alot in common with the biggest difference being the fact she cant play most games (since she cant see the screen) i do think if she is able to join a club itd be board game club and i think that she would be really good at the games she is able to play. I specifically feel she and idia would be really competitive at math games since they are both extremely skilled at stem skills

In book one one after meeting riddle and learning from trey and the others what the rules mean to heartsybul rose decided they wanted to learn the rules as a peace sign and also out of respect(she managed to rope ace and grim into it with the hopes of it removing ace’s collar) rose lost her eyesight because she “didnt follow” lab safety rules and due to other backstory reasons she has the mentality that rules are there for reason, after a chat with riddle she was able to convince him to teach her the rules. Riddles on the list of characters i think rose would be close to because i think besides they tyrant thing, they agree on alot of the same things and have strong learning ethics and stuff

The heartshackle dynamic is always three dumbasses in a trench coat with yuu either adding to the pile or being the braincell holder. Rose is very much the brain cell holder, she is three seconds away from a breakdown but she wont let anyone know that so she just gives a soft smile and tries to find the most polite way to tell someone their plan is shit. Originally she made the truce with grim so he can be her service animal and she became friends with aduece because she thought they where good meat shields but she does genuinely start caring for them and enjoying their company, around book 4-5

If rose was an actual student in nrc she would have 100% been put in pomifiore. She is considered to be ethereally beautiful and she uses her beauty along with her innocent “doll eyed” act to protect herself as thats the only way she feels she can. Even if you get rid of all the trauma she used to love doing self care like hair brushing and outfit picking. I also think potionology would be her best subject magic or not since her father is a scientist and from a young age she was taught stem so she would have a step up on that subject. I just feel its the best dorm to put her in (also its fun for me cus i dont think about that dorm much but now with rose i get to think about them more and their dynamics)

I think rose thinks the leech twins are creepy scum with to much power to not get in trouble for their actions (i love them btw top 4 fav characters) but she would never say that out loud and i think jade atleast finds her interesting. I hc the twins use to be blind but they adjusted to being blind on land so horribly they made a contract with azul to take some of his eyesight in return for “something.” I think jade finds it so interesting learning how humans adapt to being bind and i also think he clocks how she is def hiding something under lock and keep. They are both “oh i know alot but im just gonna act dumb” characters but i think that would make them clash (though they would never confront each other about it)

Btw Floyds nickname for them would be either the default shrimpy or ghost catfish since her og name was ghost and even tho i changed it to rose awhile ago, i often keep it as a nickname for her or try to make her ghostly still. Also the fish just looked cool and cute at the same time, look it up they are so silly

I think leona is chill with rose. They arent friends but he def likes her more than most others in the school, enough to scare people off if they are messing with her a bit to much. He would grumble and tell her she needs to handle her own messes but he also wont stop helping her when he noticed she specifically takes her walks in ways where she will end up near where he rests (incase she needs a break away from others or worse if someone is following her) woke feminist leona def has a soft spot for her even if they dont talk alot (bonus: in the doodle i didnt write it but rose was reaching into her bag to grab pepperspray)

Rose is one of the best students in her class. She cant take notes(until she is gifted a braille writing stylus by riddle), she cant read (even if they had braille books i highly doubt twisted braille is the same as earths) but she has an extremely good memory and is really good at learning. Her father was a genius with multiple phds and while she never took the iq test shes always had a talent in stem and learning environments. She might not know the history of this world but she can pay attention in class and remember it without notes enough so to get good grades and she gets better when she is gifted the writing stylus. This definitely is something aceduce and grim fail to understand because when they ask how she just says “pay attention in class”. Her biggest struggle is when they do required reading but she is often able to convince grim or aduce to help in return for her to then explain the the passage says back to them

Mk thats it for now with rose. Roses story while not the closest to home in regard to my ocs means alot to me and im trying to do it as carefully as i can. I have alot of fun imagining her with the twist line and im prob gonna do a post just yapping about her opinion on the characters and theirs of her. Ill worry about drawing angst eventually but for now just silly doodles ^^

okok listen

baiheng shows yanqing how to braid and with his newly acquired skill he braids EVERYTHING. jys hair, yingxings hair, dan fengs hair, even mimis mane. and they all dont have the heart to take them out but they know they have to.

also i know that in the future he wants to learn diffrent braiding styles and he's determind to master them all. also he has his styling models w/ him (jy, yinxing, dan feng)

(sorry for any mistakes, eng isnt my first language)

Ahhhhh! This is adorable!!! Thank you so much for sending me an ask. Please feel free to send more.

There were no mistakes, don't worry! English actually isn't my first language either, it's my primary language now but I learned it later than most kids around me.

Yanqing sees Baiheng braid hers and Jingliu's hair and thinks it looks so cool. Since he has long hair, she asks her to braid his so he can look like his aunties. Baiheng teaches him with ribbons first and then he starts with his aunts hair. He starts doing it to Dan Feng's hair since he has long, straight hair and can sit on the ground for long periods of time. He then moves on to Jing Yuan's hair when he takes a nap, always making sure to not braid in the little finches. The lasts person he practiced on is Yingxing since he spends most of his time either in the forge at work or his own personal forge at home. Mimi's hair is the hardest since they're short and wispy and his little fingers are not as nimble. He does manage to do little braids all over its mane thought.

None of them take them out. Partially because they don't have the heart to and because Yanqing likes to see how his work withstands day to day life. Dan Feng keeps his hair braided when he goes to meeting with the Preceptors, earning himself glares and rumors over his doting/spoiling behavior. Baiheng absolutely adores it and buys him ribbons and hair ties and try out. Jing Yuan keeps it since he thinks it's cute (the man keeps birds in his hair, no one will care about the braids). Jingliu will actually request a tight, single braid so that she can train in it. Yingxing's students will actually tease him about the little braids at the end of his hair since Yanqing is so short and cannot reach higher when Yingxing is working in his office.

Once he masters the standard braid, he starts moving on to different styles. He seeings the noble girls and their attendants have different types of braid styles and accessories in their hair and thinks they're really cool. For Yanqing, he sees braids in the same way he sees swords. He admires the intricacy and skill it takes to do certain styles, and in the same sense of possessing swords, he seeks to possess the skill of braiding. Tingyun is really supportive of this, showing him pictures of different cultures from other planets and how they braid their hair and style them.

*******

Baiheng had her hair in a thick long braid today, tied at the end with a bright, red ribbon. Her fellow companions were sporting similar hairstyles. Yingxing’s white hair was tied in a messy fishtail braid similar to Jing Yuan’s, whose layered hair caused little bits to poke out everywhere. JIngliu’s hair was in tiny braids scattered with small, thin rubber bands holding them together. Dan Feng, who in all his refined manner as High Elder, had his hair in twin tail braids with a teal ribbon braided through them. If anyone had seen the High Cloud Quintet in this state, the gossip rags would have a frield day.

The perpetrator of this fashion trend had turned his sights on a new victim- Mimi, the white lion of the Seat of Divine Foresight. Yanqing sat on the ground, his face in tense concentration, as he braided little parts of Mimi’s mane and secured them with little flower clips. Mimi proved to be an excellent client as she sat quite still. Satisfied with his handiwork, Yanqing stood up and yelled, "TADA!!! Now we all match!" Mimi, the once ferocious beast who fought off assassins, had little braids poking out all arounds its head and adorned brightly-colored flower clips.

"Mrrow" Mimi called out.

Yanqing turned around, his eyes beaming. "Do you like it Mimi? I'll do a new style tomorrow. Maybe with ribbons this time!"

Yanqing turned arounds. "I'll do ribbons in everyone's hairs tomorrow!"

It seems the gossip rags will be getting a story after all. Most of them had meetings tomorrow and ribbons weren't exactly professional wear, but what were they going to do? Take out Yanqing's handwork? That's ridiculous.

I hope you like this one!

What does Astarion do that would be considered sweet to Emmrich that is not sex/sexual related? What parts of Astarion does Emmrich like best? Same questions for Astarion.

First off, thank you so much for indulging me with your asks. It’s been SO. Much. Fun. This is the last one in my inbox! What a ride :D

Okay, Emmrich’s POV first, and this is a little bit down the line from the current story, post-Veilguard, maybe set between that and the sequel fic (where Emmrich goes to Faerûn) :

Emmrich, our man of Big Emotions, is also our man of Huge Responsibilities - some of them imposed by society, some entirely self-imposed. He’s also led a life where his main focus has been his work. His research. His Mourn Watch duties. Work/Duties always take precedence over his own needs, because he hasn’t really let himself have options. When his friends and associates all found their happily-ever-afters (some of them ending in divorces and brand new happily-ever-afters) he remained alone.

Even with Astarion in his life, some of those tendencies just won’t quit. He stays up grading essays, or reviewing his students’ research notes, or planning his own Stuff and Things. And whenever he forgets to eat, or forgets the time and ends up staying up way past his bedtime, Astarion is there to remind him. He’ll come home from his latest Thing with the Crows and find Emmrich in his study. He brings him a plate of toast and a pot of tea. Or, if it’s a bit late for something to eat, just a quiet “Darling, bedtime. Tell me about your day?”

As for the thing, or things, he likes best about Astarion, the list is extensive and he would hesitate to name any one of them chief amongst the others. But. That borderline nasal, very nearly annoying giggle he does when he’s happy. When he can’t stop himself laughing no matter how inappropriate. When he’s overcome by Schadenfreude, or genuine delight, and he just goes “Bahahaha!” all high-pitched and awful, and Emmrich loves him a little bit more every single time.

Astarion’s POV, also a little bit down the line:

Most of the time, Astarion barely even remembers his former life. But sometimes, the scars ache. They burn, deep into the layers of his skin. And the pain invariably goes deeper. When those moments come, Emmrich doesn’t ask him how he’s doing, or if he’s okay, but fetches a cooling balm in one of his myriad little pots and flasks. It smells like sage and happiness, and when Emmrich rubs it into the scars on his back, it soothes the hurt. It can’t ever take it away completely, but that isn’t the point. Some scars run so deep they can’t ever be healed, but they’re part of who you are. Emmrich sees that. Emmrich understands, as much as he is able - and doesn’t presume to know the rest, that Astarion could never tell him.

And what parts of Emmrich’s does Astarion like best…

He cares about his appearance. He takes care of his appearance. That sort of ting is important to Astarion, and it pleases him to no end to watch Emmrich go through his daily grooming ritual. Hair oils and waxes, pomade for his moustache; powders and creams for his eyebrows and lashes. Not a hair out of place, not a single button missed. Emmrich is meticulous about his looks. They can be preening peacocks together.

And he listens. He cares. He doesn’t judge. He forgives - not too easily, but in a measured kind of cadence: Astarion slips up somehow, expecting a harsh word, but it never comes. He acts out, telling Emmrich everything that’s wrong about him since the day he was born - and when he inevitably comes crawling back with his tail between his legs, Emmrich sits him down to talk about what happened. He makes a mistake, he hardly even has to ask forgiveness before Emmrich’s there picking up the pieces, telling him everyone makes mistakes and it’s how we learn and grow, and mistakes are part of being alive, and anyone who says otherwise are a lying sack of shit.

He loves it especially when Emmrich uses foul language. It’s a rarity, and therefore it’s precious. But mostly he loves the way he treats him as an equal.

---

Okay, that wraps up the Emmstarion asks. If anyone sees this and wants to have a go, it's never too late to send a question or ten my way.

Peace and love, everybody! And go read chapter 3 while you're at it. Chapter 4 is in progress!

[detentiontrack]

Oh wow you actually give quite good advice. Got any advice for highschoolers? I just started my freshman year (although probably some advice won’t be terribly applicable since the entire school is 25 people and my class is 4 kids, but it’s worth a shot. Also it might help other people.)

YES! I DO! So I went to a year and a half of high school before moving up to college and I HATED it. Here are some tips that would have made it suck less.

Learn to have a thicker skin. Easier said than done, I KNOW, but if someone says something mean to you, you can't let it bother you forever. Accept that they're just an asshole or are insecure and taking it out on others, and move on. Your worth is not defined by what some 14 year old bitch says about you.

It is not lame to have a good relationship with teachers! Talk to them, hang out with them during lunch, don't care what anyone else thinks.

Pack yourself a lunch every single day. Its healthier and you'll have more time to hang out during lunch.

Get involved! Join clubs, do student government or debate, do cast or crew for the fall musical. I did costumes for my freshman fall musical, and it's how I met one of my best friends who is still my best friend almost 5 years later (if you're reading this, you know who you are. ily <3)

Don't feel pressured to dress a certain way for fashion trends. I was a freshman in 2019/2020 so vsco girl/cottage core/""alt"" (that wasn't even really alternative) were very popular and I basically didn't wear any of my favorite clothes for a while. Just do what makes you happy.

Get a 504 or an IEP (educational/school accommodation plans) if you need one. They're life savers (if anyone wants another post on what was on my 504 for accommodations, lmk!)

Your body is inevitably going to change. Most people gain weight when they're in high school. Despite being a teenager, you are still a CHILD. Your body isn't going to look like an instagram model's. Don't let it get to you.

Always carry around pads or tampons with you. Even if you don't have periods. You never know when you or someone you know will get a surprise period.

Bring deodorant in your backpack every day. You will need it, even if you apply it in the morning.

Don't be that person who puts on heavy perfumes or body sprays in class. Just don't.

Take honors/AP classes if you can! They're honestly not that much more difficult and they look great on your record.

Do every single extra credit assignment!

Use google docs for everything

Take notes in every class, even if you already know the subject and notes aren't required.

Learn to study in high school, even if you don't need to. You WILL need to study in college and it's good to already know your studying style.

Take lots of photos! Even if you are insecure. You don't have to look at them, but someday you'll want to have them. I was deeply insecure in high school and have barely any photos of myself, and I deeply regret that.

You know those posts that are like "life may suck but at least I'm not 15 again"? Those posts are real. High school is NOT AT ALL the best years of your life, despite what everyone may tell you. Things can always get better.

Try not to date much in high school. Statistically, you are not going to marry your freshman year partner. Even if you think they're "the one", don't take it super seriously. You both have a lot of developing to do.

DO NOT EVER IN YOUR LIFE DATE A SENIOR AS A FRESHMAN. YOU ARE NOT MATURE FOR YOUR AGE. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU COOL. THEY ARE NOT DIFFERENT OR SPECIAL. A 17/18 YEAR OLD HAS ABSOLOUTLEY NO BUSINESS DATING A 14/15 YEAR OLD. DO NOT GO THERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a LOT of pressure to lose your virginity in high school. That is bullshit. It's okay to not have sex until later. It's okay to never have sex. Anyone who tries to pressure you or tell you otherwise, is NOT someone you want in your life. The right sexual partner will respect your boundries and not try to pressure you into anything.

Gyaru-Pal Misadventures - Track 03

Chihiro-Nagi Pair Event -Netherlands

Location: Netherlands - Lisse

Nagi: That’s the original cat pose from Chii-sama’s dance video that garnered 3 million views in just under two weeks…!

Chihiro: Why do you know all that, Nagipeko!? You got it down to the source too! 

Nagi: Well, the truth is that I’ve been watching all your videos ever since this study trip was announced. 

Nagi: We’re from different teams, so I thought it would help make the trip more fun if I learned more about you… 

Chihiro: (So that’s why…!)

Nagi: Still… To be able to spot you from this huge crowd, they must be quite the hardcore Chiitizen.

Chihiro: Right! I totes have to give back some love! Ya~y, here’s Chii’s cat pose~♪

Netherlands Highschooler Chiitizen: …! 

Chihiro: Ahaha, dank je wel! 

Nagi: (They looked really touched… I got to see something good.)

Chihiro: Oh, can we go meet them? I wanna try talking in person!

Nagi: Huh, oh, okay.

Netherlands Highschooler Chiitizen: !!

Chihiro: Umm, where’s the translation app… Should be good to go now!

Chihiro: “Thank you for the cat pose! And I gotta say, your fashion is literally on point! Is that style popular with students in the Netherlands?”

Nagi: (...Once again, he’s talking with such ease you can barely tell they’re strangers.)

Nagi: (The back and forth is lighthearted, with the rhythm of people playing a tennis match. The conversation is moving so fast I feel like a spectator in the commentator’s box. Looking at them almost makes me feel like they’re fellow classmates.)

Nagi: (I’m sure Chihiro must have been popular back in high school with those high class communication skills.)

Nagi: (If I’d gone to highschool, and was classmates with Chihiro…)

Nagi: …… 

Chihiro: Sorry for the wait Nagipeko! I got caught up in the conversation!

Chihiro: Oh, whatcha thinkin’ about? 

Nagi: I was wondering what it might’ve been like if we were in the same class in highschool.

Chihiro: Wha- That sounds soo interesting~! I wonder what kinda classmates we coulda been! 

Nagi: I’m sure you’d be the center of the classroom, surrounded by all the other cheery students, have lots of love talks, go karaoke everyday and sing the most popular song in turns… 

Nagi: On the other hand, I’d be in the corner of the classroom, counting the leaves outside. I’d be sitting on the sidelines during P.E. because no one wanted to partner with me. I’d be the kind of gloomy person who could only take pride in how fast I could get home.

Nagi: That’s why, I’m sure that even if we were in the same class, we wouldn’t talk like we do now.

Chihiro: Ah… 

Chihiro: I see. So this is something only the present me could experience, huh… That’s kinda fresh. 

Nagi: Huh…?

Chihiro: The truth is, I wasn’t always like this.

Chihiro: I’ve always wanted to be a gyaru, but… Stuff happened, and I ended up like this. 

Chihiro: I mean! I never went to highschool, so. I wouldn’t know what that’s like! Ahaha… 

Chihiro: (...I might’ve said too much.)

Chihiro: (I’m sure Nagipeko was just trying to compliment me, and yet… I just had to turn it into something dark…)

Nagi: …I see. 

Nagi: –That’s really cool. By the way, I never went to highschool either.

Chihiro: Huh?

Nagi: Even though I watched all those videos of you, there’s still a lot I don’t know.

Nagi: So does that mean… I could also be a cheery person if I try hard enough?

Chihiro: ! …Yup. ‘Course you can, Nagipeko!

Chihiro: Anyone can decide that they want to be a gyaru, and work towards having a gyaru mindset!

Nagi: I could have… a gyaru mindset… 

Chihiro: If we went to school together as gyarus… I’m sure it would’ve been super duper fun!

Chihiro: We’d take detours on our way home after school and take selfies while showing off delish sweets~...

Chihiro: (...Yeah, that sounds super fun!)

Chihiro: Right, why not give it a try now? Chii will teach you how to be a totes peaceful kinda gyaru~

Nagi: …! I’d like that, teacher.

Location: Netherlands - Keukenhof Park

Chihiro: Wow, a field full of tulips~! It’s in its league as a dazzle-worthy spot! It’s seriously crazy!

Nagi: S-Snapworthy spot, crazy…!

Chihiro: Hey, hey, how about taking a selfie♪ Let’s take a pic with the tulips!

Nagi: Got it. A selfie… Like this…?

Nagi: Ah, a breeze passed us right as I took a shot...

Chihiro: Ahaha! Our hairs look like monsters, LOL! This is also a memory for our trip, Gyaru Peace!

Nagi: P-Peace…. It’s a little different from the peace sign I’m used to. Is it like this…?

Chihiro: Yup yup, that’s perfect! 

Chihiro: Well~ Chii’s a l’il peckish right now. Are you too, Nagipeko?

Nagi: My stummy is a l’il peckish too~.

Chihiro: Eh, are you using gyaru speak? Cutee~~! Even coming up with an original, you’re a natural!

Nagi: I’ll slowly grind on the gyaru mindset, seriously, it’ll be, like, totes huge.

Nagi: However, I’m unfamiliar with gyaru speak that I feel thirsty…. I’ll get something to drink.

Nagi: (...Wait. Was my right pocket always empty? I swear there was something in it-)

Nagi: N-No way… 

Nagi: (My passport… It’s not here.)

What is Kurisaki Rinko to you?

I DID IT. I WROTE IT. I FOUND SOME INSPIRATION FAIRIES AND KNOCKED THIS OUT. THANK YOU TO THE ANON WHO ASKED THIS QUESTION.

Pre-Shibuya

Gojo Satoru

He raised his eyebrows at the question.

“Huh?” he asked, grasping his chin lightly. “Kurisaki-chan? Strong sorcerer. Lives up to the Special Grade 1 rank easily. Great person. Probably the best person I know, actually. She looks out for the people she cares about, especially her students. Best teacher Kyoto ever had.” He smirked slightly. “One of the only people to catch me by surprise, land a hit. A menace, really. A good friend. One- my best friend. She’s my best friend.”

Nanami Kento

A deep sigh escaped his lips, his brow furrowed in clear irritation.

“Annoying,” he replied, his monotone voice almost sounding amused. “But I trust her. She’s stronger than she thinks she is, and I would trust her with my life. She’s also one of the only jujutsu sorcerers I respect, even though she’s probably crazier than most. She’s also an incredible teacher. Her students have always loved her. I got to see that first-hand.” He cleared his throat, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. “And a dear friend. She’s a very dear friend.”

Fushiguro Megumi

He scowled at the question, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

“A lot of people think you could pass for being her kid since you look similar-”

“She’s not my mom,” he snapped, his scowl deepening. “She’s my cousin. She’s taught me a lot—more than Gojo-sensei has. She’s a great teacher.”

Zenin Maki

Her eyes narrowed at the question before she shrugged.

“We’re related,” she stated. “She took me in when I ran away from my shit family. She’s done a lot for me. Helped me in more ways than I can say.” The teen gripped the kendo sword in her hands tightly. “She’s taught me more than anyone else. Not just about being a jujutsu sorcerer, either. She’s a great teacher.”

Zenin Mai

Suspicion filled the girl’s expression for a moment.

“Why do you wanna know?” she asked, crossing her arms defensively. “She’s- we’re distantly related. She taught me when she was at Kyoto Tech. And-” she trailed off, a frown pulling at her lips, “she’s looked out for me. Always tries to make sure to check in on me. She cares. She’s a great- she’s the best teacher I’ve ever had.”

Okkotsu Yuuta

“Rinko-san is amazing!”

They’d barely finished the question before the teenager answered, sounding overly enthusiastic.

“She’s really kind,” he continued excitedly. “She always checks on me to ask me how I’m doing. She’s strong enough to trick Gojo-sensei. She landed a hit on him, which I haven’t really seen anyone else do before. She’s a great teacher, too. I learned a lot from her about cursed energy when she taught us last year.”

Inumaki Toge

He grinned widely, shrugging.

“Tuna mayo,” he stated.

“Is- that good?”

“Salmon,” he replied, his grin widening. “Tuna mayo.”

Itadori Yuuji

He shrugged slightly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“I- don’t know Rinko-san that well,” he admitted. “But Nanamin respects her a lot. Gojo-sensei likes her, too. Fushiguro won’t admit it, but he kinda drifts towards her when she’s around. She’s really nice. One of the nicest people I’ve met besides Gojo-sensei. And she’s a really good teacher. Fushiguro and Zenin-san learned from her, I think.”

Kugisaki Nobara

The girl shrugged absently.

“I don’t really know her that well,” she admitted, tilting her head to the side. “She seems cool. Maki-san likes her a lot. She does spend a lot of time with that blindfolded idiot, though. But she’s a good teacher, from what Maki-san says.”

Todo Aoi

The boy smirked easily, chuckling under his breath.

“A strong sorcerer,” he asserted. “One of the strongest you’ll meet, though she doesn’t see it that way. She- she’ll do anything to protect the people she cares about, especially us. Kurisaki-sensei is an incredible teacher.”

Post-Shibuya

Gojo Satoru

He squinted at them, scowling at the question.

“You mean Gojo Rinko?” he asked, his scowl growing when they just shrugged. “I convinced her to marry me, ya know. I’m her husband-”

“Fine,” they sighed, exasperated. “What is Gojo Rinko to you?”

A smug grin pulled at his lips now.

“My best friend,” he declared proudly. “The strongest woman I’ve ever known. The only person who puts up with me without complaining.” He paused, his grin widening until he looked like a dopey puppy. “The love of my life. She’s the most incredible person I know, and I- wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her. She’s the most important person in my life.”

Fushiguro Megumi

He cleared his throat uncomfortably, shuffling his feet.

“She’s- my cousin." He rubbed the back of his neck and coughed. “She- she’s always been there for me. One of- one of the most important people in my life. I- I don’t know if I’d be here if it weren’t for her.”

Zenin Maki

She gave a nonchalant shrug, looking bored.

“My cousin,” she replied easily, staring at them calmly. “She’s taught me a lot. Took me in when I needed to get away from the clan. Always-” the teen paused, releasing a quiet sigh, “never- got upset with me when I was angry. And- she really tried to look out for me and my sister. One of the most important people in my life.”

Okkotsu Yuuta

His brow furrowed slightly as he thought.

“Rinko-san is one of the strongest people I know,” he stated firmly, nodding to himself. “She cares a lot about all of us, too. Looks out for us so much, making sure we’re all okay. Even though she knows we can take care of ourselves, she checks on us and makes sure we’re okay. She’s become one of the most important people in my life.”

Inumaki Toge

“Tuna mayo!” he exclaimed, grinning widely.

“That’s- that’s still a good thing, right?”

“Salmon!”

“Can I get some of those flashcards you gave her-?”

Itadori Yuuji

“She’s our new Principal,” he stated, smiling slightly. “She was someone Nanamin had a lot of respect for, and she clearly cared about him, too. She’s really strong, but she pushes herself too much. I think- I think she does it for us. To try to protect us. She and Gojo-sensei are really similar in that way. She cares about us a lot. She- I don’t remember my mom, but she kinda reminds me of a mom. She’s become one of the most important people in my life.”

Kugisaki Nobara

She gave a careless shrug.

“I honestly still don’t know her all that well,” the girl admitted. “But she’s really strong. Special Grade 1’s aren’t really something to mess with. She’s our new Principal, and she’s doing a really good job so far. I don’t think there could have been a better choice for it. She still spends too much time with that blindfolded idiot, though. Can’t believe she decided to marry a guy like him, but they seem happy I guess?”

Ino Takuma

He rubbed the back of his neck.

“I, ah, don’t know Kurisaki-san that well,” he admitted uneasily.

Gojo Satoru’s voice chimed from somewhere in the distance, “It’s Gojo Rinko now-!”

“But Nanami-san had a lot of respect for her, and they were really good friends.” Ino swallowed thickly. “She- asked me to teach here at Tokyo Tech after she became the Principal. She said Nanami-san would approve, that he’d be proud to see me helping the next generation of sorcerers. She’s- a really kind person. I’m grateful she decided to give me this chance.”

-

You can take Toge's responses from my cold, dead hands.

Did you guys like the two different themes? I thought it'd be cool to have the pre-Shibuya version focused on them saying she's a good teacher, and then the post-Shibuya version talking about how she's important in their lives 🥹 Notice how Gojo and Megumi said they wouldn't be here without her 🥺🥺

It's also official, Ino will be the new first-year teacher at Tokyo Tech 😊

[ideas-4-stories]

NOOOOOOOO I LOST THE AU I WROTE FOR YOU 😭😭😭 I LITERALLY SENT IT AND TUMBLR SAID "NETWORK ERROR". L FOR THE WIFI. L. Not cool I'm literally crying I thought that AU was genius. It was a Teacher!Buggy AU with Crocomom and Dadhawk. + Shanks co-parenting Luffy with Crocodile. That note was so long I literally spent like 45 mins writing it here on your ask and it was just. Gone. Or I think it did. Why does life hate me. I'm just gonna be brief with this cuz I still think it's golden lmao. Croco and Mihawk work long hours so their kids (Luffy, Zoro, Perona) have to wait for a few hours until they're picked up by their parents. The school doesn't have school buses bc I said so (no I am not cruel it's just out of my budget /j). So Buggy takes the responsibility to keep them comfortable and entertained while they wait. Croco and Mihawk meeting this charming (and clown looking) blue-haired guy and they start courting him. Shanks gets dragged in on the courting bc of Luffy. Also he was already courting Buggy. I didn't write their process of courting I basically skipped and went,, their wedding will take part in a Goth castle. And the design are all sunshine and rainbows (literally). Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Vivi, Zoro and Luffy being in a class along with other kids. Franky, Robin, Jinbei and Brook are in higher classes. Chopper is atom. Not here in the world yet. Perona is like, 2-3yrs older than her brothers so. Yeah *awkwardly shuffles* (I love perona I swear-). Implied Zosan. Some rando: but you didn't imply shi— Me: Shhh I did. *gaslighting*. Law is also there in the classroom with lower grade strawhats. He's suffering. He only attends 3 days a week tho, he's mostly homeschooled bc of his sickness. He's homeschooled by Cora. (You can pry Law and Cora from my cold dead hands. You can separate them when I dissolve into ashes). Don't worry as he gets older his sickness is cured. Ofc he's cured by Cora. He's saved by Cora in every universe. In every AU. Every Era. Every life they will ever live. I will die on that hill– *applies the nobody dies/everyone lives tag on this AU* let my babies be happy pls. Let my man Cora live and travel the world with this emo boy (Law). Doffy isn't real, he can't hurt anyone. Ace is there. Sabo is there. Every One Piece character is out there somewhere. They're like hidden stones and you have 0.02% of finding them. I thought I was just making a Teacher!Buggy AU but then it turns into a Modern!AU for everyone. Let's gooooo. Sora divorces with Judge and remarry with Zeff so now Sanji lives with all his brothers and his sister. They get separate classrooms tho, and reiju is perona's age so she's besties with her. (I do not play by canon's rules with ages bc i live in my own world) They both tease their brothers (Sanji and Zoro) about their crushes on each other. The heart crew is there. Bepo is a dog, a very fluffy one. Kuina is alive. Kaya is there, same classroom with Usopp. I have no idea how to continue this lmao, but I do hope you find this interesting bc Buggy is 100% great with kids and probably teaches well bc he is a big nerd and makes lessons interesting. (Also, the whole reason why I wrote this instead of letting the idea slip through my mind like the others is bc the image of two goth men courting a clown looking mf was funny to me. So here we are lmao. The way I wrote this makes Shanks look like he's the person they let into their open relationship twice lol I'm so sorry 😭😭)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That's really sad, I really like this idea (though I see Shanks and Buggy more as siblings, but I understand the idea of Shuggy) It's fine that this became about so many people, I really like this.

Teacher!Buggy sounds so cool, you know that he's the flashiest and maybe one of the craziness of the things he'll do to get his students good things that will boost their learning. He knows that every kid might not have the same learning paths as others.

How many classes does this man teach? Who knows, too many for how much he gets paid. All teachers needs to get paid more.

I would think Jinbei and Brook being other fun teachers in the school, like Tom could be as well!

I really like this idea, and the imagine of two gothic men trying to court a clown-looking mf is really funny to me as well.

Canaan University Au

Ok I thought of a college au for the locked tomb a awhile ago but I never bothered to write it down until now. Anyways I think they would all go to this imaginary university in New Zealand and it’s like the first book but with a lot less murder. Here’s what I think each house would study

Judith- Criminal justice major. Huge stickler for rules and doing homework. If she’s not in the gym reading a textbook while doing push-ups, she’s in the library getting into a heated debate with a Corona. Had a huge crush on Marta and went to the same college as her to hangout, just getting over it, may or may not have feelings for Corona, maybe.

Marta- In law school, was a mentor to Judith when she was in high school and that’s how they know each other. Gently turned Judith down but they’re still friends and study together sometime. Is the DD at every party.

Corona: Majoring in marketing with a minor in fashion merchandising. Doesn’t do great on tests but aces every presentation. President of her sorority. Can and will gaslight frat boys. Everyone wants her but she only has eyes for the stuck up criminal justice major.

Ianthe- Management major with a minor in maybe finance. Commits tax fraud and gets away with it. Sometimes does Corona’s homework for her. Doxxes people online (mostly Babs), smokes in the dorm hallways. Flirts with Harrow during their study sessions, which Harrow ignores.

Naberius- Economics major, and major fuck boy. Makes thirst traps and is doxxed. Hangs out with the twins even though they bully him. Doesn’t do shit during group projects. Will get a job at his dads company post graduation.

Jeannemary and Isaac don’t go to college but are tutored by Abigail at her house. They just silly teens who experiment with makeup and clothes to find their look. Talk loudly about anime in the school hallways. A little cringe but they’re doing their best.

Abigail- Anthropology professor and is really cool. Tough grader but genuinely loves her students and shares trivia with them. Brings donuts to test days. Will accidentally derail class to talk about books or her husband. If one of her students brings up one of the incredibly niche topics she likes, she will talk about it for hours.

Magnus- Not a teacher but visits Abigail's classes often. Nice guy, helps look after Jeannemary and Isaac. I'm not sure what he would do as a job, maybe chef or stay at home husband lol. Regardless, he's the one making all the meals.

Palamedes- Pre-med, wants to become a doctor so he can save Dulcinea save people. Smartest guy in the room always, a go to for anyone struggling with their biology homework. Has a friendly rivalry with Harrow (it's more rivalry than friendly for Harrow but she grows fond of him over time). Is the one derailing class with philosophical debates.

Camilla- Physics major, too cool for you. Really into sports, just not sure which, like gymnastics or soccer or rugby or fencing. Works hard but actually remembers to eat and sleep too. Probably in student government as well. Her and Palamedes are attached at the hip, they later get an apartment together and that's where all the main hangouts with the other characters happen.

Dulcinea- Suffers from chronic illness and focuses her life on learning and traveling rather than getting a traditional job. She's got multiple degrees in stuff like literature, philosophy, and art history. She is active on social media and has a blog, and sells crocheted animals on Etsy. Became mutuals with Pal and Camilla on social media and they met up later when they went off to college.

Protesilaus- Dulcie's caretaker, helps her with her medical stuff. Becomes like a cool uncle figure to her and her friends. Hangs out a lot with Ortus and they share poetry.

Silas- Double major in theology and philosophy. Freaky teen prodigy who graduated high school early and attends university. Little shit who people are either freaked out by or straight up just don't like him. Will snitch on anyone for anything he doesn't like. Really only friends with Colum.

Colum- Silas' nephew, but way older than him, weird dynamic. Not in school but drives Silas to his classes and Silas lives with him during the school year instead of in the dorms. Nice guy, looks out for Silas' well being the best he can but tries to keep him from being too nasty to others.

Harrow- Double major in theology and archeology. Studies at all hours and forgets to eat and sleep. Local cryptid. Autistic with special interests in religion and burial rituals. Went to Catholic school and had a suffocating home life. Trying to grapple with that as she starts to navigate adult life. Also trying to mend her relationship with Gideon after being so harsh in her younger years.

Gideon- Kinesiology major, butch vibes to the max. Does swordfighting and weight training in her down time. Has kissed both Ianthe and Corona at some point, though it never went anywhere after that. Wears her sunglasses at all times even in class. Finds the worst fashions from thrift stores and wears them to piss Harrow off. Grew up with Harrow in a foster home Harrow's parents ran and also attended Catholic school with her but they rarely interacted beyond antagonizing each other. Reconnected after being randomly assigned roommates. Now they're buddies and hang out alongside the 3rd and 6th, (also the 2nd and Dulcie sometimes too). They all do stupid shit together like sing karoke off key and hit up Taco Bell at 2am after binge watching movies.

MDZS Teachers AU

What if the MDZS crew were teachers? what would they teach? Here are a few ideas I had!

Wei Wuxian [ Computing / IT ] Many wonder how he still has his job as he's always seen lesson planning the day before, or even in the morning. Students like his more laid back classes where he shows them how to code games and show off his impressive inventions.

Lan Wangji [ Music ] While some may think they can slack off in his class, he has a knack for getting students to love music weather its classical or pop. He knows how to specialise his teacher for each kids wants and needs. Unfortunately his computer regularly break and a certain IT teacher interrupts the harmony of his classroom.

Jiang Cheng [ Geography ] Dry humour and coffee fuel him. He is always a day away from retiring but loves teaching too much to actually do it, not that he'd tell anyone that.

Jiang Yanli [ Science - Chemistry ] No one would describe her as strict but everyone is scared of disappointing her. She also does very cool experiments as rewards for good behaviour.

Nie Huaisang [ Drama / Performing Arts ] He is one of the most loved and most feared, it all fun and games until a week before performances are due and he is staring you down.

Nie Mingjue [ P.E / Physical Education ] Is very hard on student in class or during games but outside he is very chill, often on detention duty and knows the troublemakers very well.

Lan Xichen [ Maths ] He's kind, he's pretty but he has a way to make you feel guilty for even looking at another person in class. He has an open door policy and hanging out in his office results in free biscuits.

Wen Qing [ Science / Biology ] Stern but fair, she won't stand messing around in her class. Shes also really cool and around half the school has a crush on her.

Wen Ning [ Teaching assistant ] He is enthusiastic and a little naive but he is well liked among the older students.

Jin Guangyao [ English Lit ] How many cardigans does he own? who knows. Its also commonly know it's impossible to lie to him, some find that cool some very scary.

Xiao Xingchen [ Art ] Everyone loves him, hanging out in the classroom is a favourite pastime for students, especially Queer students as he also runs the afterschool art club which has been nicknamed 'the rainbow club'

Song Lan [ Science / Physics ] While he is quiet and straight forward in most of his teachers, some times hell just say ' want to see something' and do something wildly dangerous.

Jin Zixuan [ English Language ] He has expensive pens, expensive tea and expensive snacks. But he's always ready to buy and replace your lost book, it's also fun to see he fumble talking to Miss Jiang.

Lan Qiren [ History ] Everything must be done by the rules. Believes in the importance of learning history to not repeat it. He lets students lead with there own important history topics that represent them.

(Wakes up in a cold sweat) s-super punch out middle school au.

Birdie mac/The challenger/Toby: The new kid that wants to make friends with everyone and everything and look as cool as possible, the youngest and shortest of everyone in the class but comically strong (as in can kill someone twice his size strong) and stupid as a brick.

Gabby jay: The eccentric vice principal who wants to make sure the kids learn all they need to, even though his ways are odd to say the least, tall and wiry, wears thick square glasses.

piston hurricane: The straight man of everyone else's bs, the only times he really acts out is when it comes to the weather, if a storm is coming, he stars to become overly prepared, (Ie: the bunker is bigger than his house and it has 5 years' worth of food in it prepared), pretty average in terms of looks but has extreme braces and headgear.

Bob charley: Not stupid but defiantly naive, wants to make friends but doesn't have many social skills so just goes along with the group think and has a habit of making the group think worse, silly and goofy one may say, short and small frame, freckles. :)

Dragon Chan: Lives in his own world, thinks he's the main character of his own comic book, still kicks any problem (or anyone he doesn't like) in the face, average height and stick thin.

Masked muscle: Loner, not a bully but doesn't really enjoy...people, is having the "thinks he's smarter than all of his teachers" phase early, tall and while not fat he does have a bigger frame than most of the other kids, his "mask" is just a scarf that covers his mouth, dresses the same as a 2007 emo.

Aarin ryan: First things first, I head cannon the spo Aran and Wii Aran are two different people, second of all kid goes WILD on dodgeball, but unlike that other guy with a suspiciously similar name he plays far, ball of energy, mumbles to himself, shorter than Wii Aran and has curlier hair.

Heike Kagero: Creepy kid who sits in the back of the class and sneaks up on the other kids when there not looking, his only friends are Dragon because they don't have anyone else and Narcis because they like doing each other's makeup, skinny frame he covers up with baggy clothes.

Mad clown: Would be a bully if he cared enough, lies about what his parents do because being a literal clown probably won't help his social life, fat and has big Italian curls, same as he ma. :)

Narcis prince: rich kid who thinks there better than everyone else (so the same as usual), spoiled rotten, chubby and you can take this from my cold dead hands.

Hoy Quarlow: The principal who has no idea how kids work, wants his students to fear him (they do not), vary short only slightly taller than Challenger.

Rick bruiser: Thinks he's the most popular kid in school (He has one (1) friend (Nicky)), his favorite animals are the ones that are venomous, unironic 100 gecs fan, he's tall and fat because I can't imagine him as anything but a brick shithouse.

Nick(y) bruiser: They look scary but there just shy and have staring into your soul eyes, Them and Narcis are friends and now Narcis has a bodyguard, Basically the same height as Rick but Nick(y) is 0.3 inches taller and so Rick is jealous Nick(y) is also VARY thin (I know I just said I can't imagine Rick as not a shithouse but I think it would be cute for them to contrast each other.)

I'm about to complain about something that's been bugging me more since I started writing theories, and it's gonna be phrased harshly. People hate the art of storytelling. They hate the act of reading words on a screen with no visual stimulus.

They can say I love reading all they want but most of the time, it comes with bells and whistles attached. It always does. I've been writing since I was a kid. Since I was in the fourth grade honestly and the only time my writing has been genuinely enjoyed or appreciated by others was back then writing horror stories for school assignments having classmates pass it around and point out what part they liked and say why.

It wasn't a matter of the stories being good or more fun to write than what I write now. I always enjoy myself writing. No it wad.the fact that I had an audience that took my art for what it was. When they passed it around there weren't comments like oh this would ve so cool to seen drawn our, animated, or dramatically read aloud. It was just taking for the art form it was.

I went to an arts high school the only schools in the city I grew up in while I was a kid were technical high schools. If you wanted to go to a school and you were born in the city and didn't magically spawn into existence at high school age well fuck you- You've now got to lie about your address and go to a charter school a town over and hope they don't find out or the staff was cool about it.

All the high schools were mostly for people who lived outside of the city and wanted a place that looked good on college applications. My first choice wasn't an art school either. I put writing to the side going into high school. I actually went through the entrance exam of a technical high school with a focus on robotics because I had an interest in robotics with a focus on its medical applications. But through multiple things out of my control I ended up in an arts high-school going to three selerate high schools throughout my high school years and graduation from this one.

I majored in graphic design there a subsection of the visual arts department. That consisted of traditional arts, radio and television, and graphic design. I learned later that they had a writing program there was a journalism major but ya know that's nit art anymore so by the tine I got there guess where that was exactly where traditional art is now it was cut. The only remnant of a writing program being the radio and television major, the main focus of the major was mostly on directing and editing but it went over script writing as well.

Where'd traditional art go probably integrated into the graphic design major given how tech heavy making art is now a days. They deemed it too old-fashioned, and by the time my junior graduated, our art teacher (the only one who hadn't quitl was teaching history. The majors were pretty conjoined anyway graphic design majors did have traditional art classes as well. Not many took it seriously to some graphic design majors tradition art was very much beneath them and they didn't want to be lumped into the same department as those weird traditional artists with their comics and manga scripts. The major was underfunded and you were expected to buy your own supplies to build a portfolio and restock on them when needed.

There wasn't paint or easels or all that good stuff one year an old hot glue gun literally caught the classroom on fire and we had to do art classes from the science room for two months. While also fundraising fir repairs to the art room. You'd think students that at the bottom of the barrel would probably have more respect for overlooked art forms. But not really I wrote rough drafts of novels in high school and when speaking about without fail,

"Huh you think someone's actually going to read all that in this age comics and manga are the onky things that can sell."

This was in 2010. I honestly don't expect anyone to read all this. Because I haven't put in some large words, or pictures or made an obligatory meme like

Art school students be like

Can another person even imagine the hoops I have to jump through to keep writing engaging for an audience- Oh wait you don't have to you can literally see the evolution of it through the posts I made here. Every time I mention writing their are so many people who either draw or don't who will say things like that'd be cool to see drawn or in any other medium than the one you're doing it in. That doesn't seem like a love of storytelling to me. That doesn't seem like an appreciation of writing to me.

I've entered writing competitions the first step explain all this in threw sentences, one, if you had to describe it in three words what would they be, alright give me the elevator pitch. Make it shorter, so I know if it's worth reading, we have a lot of applicants if the description isn't engaging enough I'll just skim it write some feedback and move on, if you can't even do this much are you even a writer. To even get a book selling we writers basically have to be social media influencers or their own marketing team now a days.

The people judging writing don't even seem to enjoy reading. I make the fact that I don't like drawing in any capacity it doesn't fill me with enjoyment very clear. I would shout from the tables rooftop with the largest megaphone,

"I HATE DRAWING I DON'T WANT TO DO IT EVER IT FILLS ME WITH NO JOY I THINK DOING IT SUCKS!"

If could so tell me why someone despite me telling them this upon seeing my ocgram went,

"I know you don't like drawing but minigrams for this would be so cool."

This was someone who actually enjoys drawing by the way. Like, man, I wonder what would make that possible outside of suggesting I pick up a pen and do something you admit to knowing I don't like. You think I haven't heard this before- you think I haven't been told a billion times that my art form would be better if it just wasn't my art form. If I just phrased things a little better or coddled readers more. You think this feedback is unique this is a Tuesday for me. You wouldn't tell a visual artist they should open up word and write a summary on every piece they draw to go alongside it. Hell, most don't even put image description for the visually impaired to make it accessible when they post their art most of the time but others do it for them.

That's the difference in expectation between writers and visual artists that's the gap. If a writer wants to write they're told to draw if an artist wants to dabble in writing, though they're so cool actually and can do no wrong it's just for fun and the arts great as usual. Because writing is just appetizers that people pretend in the entree now. No one even cares to talk about the plot of anything.

It's not like writing matters, and if it goes against viewers' expectations, they're more likely to dismiss it and say it was written wrong. That's how little value it holds to the modern consumer, and I have every right to be pissed about it. Because it's fucking annoying.
