~Getting In Touch with Your Mars Sign~

*especially helpful for those with Mars RX, Mars in the 12th, or with challenging aspects to your Mars.

Aries Mars: Got to tap into your confidence! What makes you feel strong - if appropriate - embrace people, things, ideas that make you feel powerful. Be more impulsive or even borderline reckless. Raise your voice more often (hopefully not to mistreat others). Get involved in more competitions and games. May need to work on trust issues. Focus on your goals, even if in a bit of a simpleminded or tunnel vision way. Get in touch with what you associate as “hot, fiery, or spicy”. Watch more satire, sports, or competitions. Incorporate metal, spicy foods, and reds into your life. Visit more hot places or wide-open places. Pay attention to your desires, lust, and passion. Get in touch with your inner daredevil. Ask what it means to stand up for others, what does that look like for you? Trust your instincts more often. Be quick to treat headaches or migraines and be more active in preventing them. Forgive your impulsiveness or impatience more often. This Mars Sign tends to be attracted to fiery and passionate people or anyone they see as a challenge. They need to be careful of getting into overly competitive relationships or ones filled with fighting. Mars in Aries is known to have a short fuse and can be highly reckless, impatient, possibly aggressive, and reactionary. Accepting this side of you can help you “get in touch” with your Mars Sign, but working through any anger issues or destructive behavior is important. Mars in Aries can be a confident leader, have very healthy boundaries, understand the importance of picking your battles, and will be first to stand up for others.

Taurus Mars: Stand your ground more often. Wear more earthy fragrances. Rebel or go after your wants with more determination. Get in touch with your sensual side. Be with partners who truly feel safe and are easygoing or flexible. Keep working at your assertive side - seriously, don’t give up! Drink more tea with honey or anything that soothes your throat. If they test you or try to mess with you - be the obstacle in their way! Appreciate your hardworking nature but also give into lazy impulses. Mars in Taurus can be hard to motivate, learning to work with your phases and what gets you going is important. Incorporate sage, thyme, mint, nature, the color green, copper, and beautiful or high-quality possessions into your life. I won’t tell anyone if you go on a low-key shopping spree. Slow down more often. Plan more. Embrace patience. Be more straightforward with what you like and want in intimacy. Be proud of your financial literacy or increase your financial understanding. Rely on your self-preservation instincts, but also understand its drawbacks such as unnecessary fear or anxiety, maybe a desire to control or possess. Mars in Taurus is slow to get mad but then explodes once they reach their tipping point. They can hold onto a lot of resentment, pain, and hold long grudges. Forgiveness, adaptability, and learning to express will, assertion, and anger in healthy ways are challenges for this placement.

Gemini Mars: Speak your mind! Mars in Gemini tends to dominate conversations or is highly assertive via communication, loudness, and maybe through ideas or education somehow. To get in touch with this Mars sign insert yourself more often into conversations, don’t be afraid of respectable and safe debates, and try to instigate or control the flow of conversations. Embrace your curiosity. Allow yourself to be an intellectual. Don’t let anyone make you think your intelligence, education, or beloved subjects are a weakness. Allow yourself to be charming, witty, or funny - you are likely funnier, more charismatic, or persuasive than you think. Get more social. Find ways to calm your anxiety or restless nature and take any high-strung or anxious behavior seriously. Wear more bright colors. Enjoy or observe playful animals. Eat more nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Take care of your hands. Try breathing exercises or meditation. Enjoy mild/nice weather more often. Your mind is your weapon - take care of it. Embrace the flexibility in your assertiveness, will, and self-preservation. Embrace change. Be careful of falling for smooth talkers, the highly flirty, or the tricky. Mars in Gemini tends to be attracted to intelligence, this is important but don’t forget about passion, romance, and depth. Don’t fear strong mental connections. Mars in Gemini can easily waste energy, be argumentative, can be talented at talking their way out of trouble or avoiding conflict, and takes other’s words very seriously. “Those are fighting words!” 🥊 Mars in Gemini should be careful of overexertion and burn out. Tapping into high energy can help you get in touch with this Mars sign, but it is important for them to learn patience, find stability, and find more moments of inner, quiet peace.

Cancer Mars: Listen to your intuition!!! Take the more cautious path sometimes, and DO NOT let anyone trick you into thinking that is cowardness. Get in touch with your inner night owl. Have a good cry. Cherish and utilize privacy. Embrace the idea of emotional strength NOT emotional suppression or control. Don’t judge the emotions trying to protect you too harshly (anger, jealousy, defensiveness, possessiveness, shyness). Ask for more emotionally, especially reassurance and affection. Let yourself give off “strong, silent type” vibes occasionally. Stop restricting your moody side, it’s important to act maturely and be respectful to others but sometimes your “crabbiness” may be the thing to get you motivated or assertive. Conflict, desires, ambition, will - these things don’t always have to be straightforward and Mars in Cancer can learn to master this as long as they get out of their own way with suppression, criticism, guilt, or self-doubt. Learn more about and practice defense more - whether in sport or metaphorically. Embrace your current phase or season whether that is the feeling of vulnerability or superhuman strength. Dip your toes into your primal urges and instincts. Don’t restrict any desires, especially if they come out quietly and slowly. Appreciate and take inspiration from water or the moon. Be protective of and take care of your chest area. Incorporate mint, silver, copper, and colors such as smoky shades, white, and blueish-green shades into your life. Let your strong will and tenacity take on a life of their own sometimes. Your home needs to be a sanctuary! Enjoy more high-quality food. Can be attracted to those who are protective, caring, or emotionally stimulating and deep. Must be careful of being used or getting into unhealthy dependency in relationships. Their protectiveness and loyalty can be a double-edged sword. Mars in Cancer’s most natural state is that of protectiveness. Understanding and identifying that is important. If I could choose a symbol for Mars in Cancer it would be a shield. Mars in Cancer is sometimes compared to a werewolf, cry baby, or the sign’s symbol 🦀 . Cancer has a strong, raw will and energy but it tends to come out indirectly. Mars’s fall is in Cancer and this means anger can easily turn into passive aggressiveness, grudge holding, resentment, or become misdirected. Learning to be more assertive and open is important for this placement but embracing their behind the scenes approach can have its upsides. Mars in Cancer can learn a lot from their opposite - Capricorn. Through calculation, logic, patience, and inner authority they can become the dangerous submarine vs. an out of control beast or timid wallflower.

Leo Mars: Mars in the fire element is known to do well under pressure. Jumping into heated situations can be scary but may help you get in touch with your Mars sign. Be more spontaneous. Give into the drama! Maybe watch more dramatic media for the fun of it. Get in touch with your inner exhibitionist. Sometimes you don’t just need to say what’s on your mind, you need to yell it. Don’t let anyone squash your playful or silly side, especially in the name of toughness, self-control, or strength. Boost your self-esteem whenever possible and in healthy ways. Get out in the sun more often. Sometimes your pride gets easily hurt, understand this more. It’s important to learn how to take criticism or to open one’s mind more often. Follow your lust or desires more often and safely. Find what makes you passionate and follow it. Take inspiration from big cats or fierce predators. Express your sexuality, whatever it is proudly and loudly. Allow yourself to get a little flamboyant or flashy. Take good care of your heart health and hair health. What makes you feel and express vibrantly? What gets you heated? What encourages bravery for you? Ask these questions and take them seriously. Be more giving especially with compliments, enthusiasm, and general warmth or friendliness. Love what you love freely and grandly. Try to learn what stances, gestures, clothing, makeup, or other physical attributes help you to feel fierce and powerful. Follow any impulses or needs to be a leader, just try to learn the most helpful and effective way to lead others. Most of all lead yourself, be an example to others with what you find to be honorable, impressive, or beautiful. Get more creative or even dominant in the bedroom (consensual and safe of course). Take time to enjoy the finer things in life. Party more often or at least celebrate more often. Accept praise or applause. Be aware of and work on any fears of rejection. Mars in Leo is attracted to those who seem confident, powerful, stand out in the limelight, or have big, strong personalities. They need to be sure there is plenty of mutual respect and admiration in their relationships. Power struggles can be a risk. Mars in Leo is also known for being quick-tempered, possibly arrogant, bossy, or overly dramatic. When getting in touch with this Mars it is important to build up pride and assertiveness, but in general this is a placement who usually needs to learn humility, can benefit from more logic and level-headedness, and practice helping others more often. They have a lot of power... but “with great power comes great responsibility”.

Virgo Mars: Pay more attention to the details. Get in touch with your practical side: ask yourself if this is the responsible choice? Try to view problems and solutions in realistic terms, tap into your culture’s “common sense”, and focus more on finances and material goals. Practice more self-control or appreciate your restrained side more. Virgo is known as their own worst critic, it is usually important for them to be more self-tolerant and forgiving. But to get in touch with this Mars sign you may want to try pursuing things that you find self-improving. Don’t stand for anyone’s harsh judgment, you already have enough of that internally. Drink more high-quality beer or your favorite beer (not encouraging alcoholism). Assert with your knowledge and actions vs. your fist, words, or anger. Practice more patience and caution. Give into your impulses or desire to work hard as long as it is not detrimental to your health. Focus more on your physical health! Mars in Virgo is known to suppress their lustful side or heavily criticize what they like in intimacy. Try to be more accepting of your desires and preferences, it may be beneficial to learn more about the science behind human sexuality. LOVE YOUR BODY! Help others more often but watch out for savior complexes or victim mentality. Mars in Virgo may express their energy, will, and more heated emotions or drive by problem solving, “fixing things”, and coming to the rescue. Embrace and try to understand this aspect but also watch out for a high-strung, critical, or even shallow or overbearing feelings and behaviors this may bring to your relationships. Always try to find the most pragmatic or cool-headed solutions to conflict or problems. Practice humility and gratefulness. Try to stay on track with your goals, responsibilities, chores, and tasks. Try to stay more organized and focused. Enjoy more earthy colors, scents, and flavors. Mars in Virgo may have a desire to serve or be of use through their fiery drive and emotions, this may make careers in the military, police, firefighting, security guard, or maybe paramedic attractive. Finding a way to use your competitive, driven, “masculine”, tough, and fighting side to help others may be fulfilling. Mars in Virgo tends to internalize anger and conflict and take out a lot of their anger at themselves. However there is also a restless energy that wants to resolve conflicts right away. Mars in Virgo can have a lot of nervous energy, they can be surprisingly scattered when overwhelmed with conflict, but communication, cleverness, and flexibility are their strengths. If they embrace a quieter and more down-to-earth form of assertiveness and take pride in or rely on the power of knowledge and skill in a craft they can become a “sniper” metaphorically. Efficient, smart, and eyes on the target.

Libra Mars: Practice more cooperation and compromise, lean into the happiness you can get from making others happy, approach things more objectively or logically. Be more social and assess what you need to be happy in your social life. Evaluate the importance of reputation and social status. Ask yourself these questions: what is my view of justice? My opinion on equality and/or fairness? What do I see as “good” and “bad” in myself and others? Try a pair sport. Value the importance of teamwork more often. Put yourself in others’ shoes more often. Get out in open, wide spaces more or places with good air quality. Explore the arts. Take pride in your self-expression. Genuinely admire others beauty without feeling odd or guilty. Take more time to adore yourself. Enjoy good wine more often (not promoting alcoholism). Try to understand and sympathize with your people pleaser tendency. If you feel detached with the desire to please others and instead find yourself to be highly rebellious and argumentative - it is very important to look inside and analyze your inner conflicts and turmoil. Listen to the urge to make peace, especially inner peace. Admire your patience, cool head, merciful side, or politeness - these can be beneficial traits. Embrace social intelligence. Mars in Libra should be careful of easily getting threatened in the social sphere or low-key competitive with those they see as their peers. But to get in touch with this Mars Sign a healthy, friendly rivalry could be helpful. Mars in Libra is prone to intellectualizing their anger, passion, competitive side, and drive. It is important for this placement to pay more attention to their warmer emotions. Give into romantic ideas or urges - especially any that are more dramatic or glamorous. Drink more cranberry juice and/or water. Tends to be attracted to charming, charismatic, or romantic partners. Must be careful of getting stuck in more shallow relationships or falling for those who may be deceitful. Mars is detriment in Libra and finds it hard to express itself in this sign. Mars in Libra can be prone to passive-aggressive and dismissive behavior, is highly conflict avoidant, and/or their anger gets easily misdirected or misunderstood. By being more direct, honest, and taking more responsibility for their actions and self they can find a healthy balance between tact, cooperation, and assertiveness and boundaries. Mars in Libra has many advantages - they can talk their way out of problems, is adaptable in conflict, tends to stay level-headed and logical, and may try to solve problems mostly through communication and compromise. Mars in Libra can be a great mediator, negotiator, or peacekeeper.

Scorpio Mars: Tighten your inner circle. Follow your hunches more often. Allow yourself to be protective over others but also yourself. UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT YOUR DESIRES. Don’t be afraid of what you are attracted to. Enjoy a good mystery or scandalous story. Get an adrenaline rush. Wear stronger perfume/cologne. Pay more attention to your own and others’ eye contact. Ask yourself if you feel empowered? Do you control your own destiny? Try to take more direction in your life with decisiveness, confidence, accountability, and self-respect. Be forgiving but also careful of any obsessive tendencies. Be open to learning more about dark or taboo subjects. Have respect for yours and others autonomy, personal power, depth, and will. Admire or take inspiration from animals such as scorpions, eagles or other large birds of prey, snakes, lizards, spiders, wolves, and invertebrates. Take a day to close all the blinds and keep your room or home dark. Maybe consume more horror movies or books. Practice introspection more often. Recharge or get riled up in intense or fast-paced, active, possibly challenging situations or environments. Follow your curiosity more. Connect with those who are as passionate as you or stir up your passion. Learn or appreciate the importance of empathy and compassion, but also assertiveness and faith in the self. Don’t be afraid to start over. Find strength and comfort in your privacy. Admire or learn about extreme weather such as crazy storms or really hot or cold places. Be careful of stress being stored in unexpected areas or come out volatilely. Appreciate the privacy of large sunglasses, a hoodie, or getting lost in a crowd. I don’t want to sugar coat Mars in Scorpio, they are associated with manipulation, jealousy, possessiveness, vindictiveness, and forcefulness. Whether you feel connected to your Mars sign or not, it is important to understand that Scorpio influences require one to own up to their good and bad, it is a sign that tells a story of self-mastery and transformation. There is always a battle with their inner demons. Mars in Scorpio can be attracted to those who seem mysterious or secretive, emotionally deep or receptive, and while passion and power can attract them so can a sob story, especially fall from grace stories or anyone who has gone through similar struggles as them. They are a water sign after all... Mars in Scorpio can also easily become manipulated and/or be blinded by love or lust. They need to be careful of power struggles in relationships. In terms of anger, willpower, and heated energy Mars is comfortable in Scorpio - they can be powerful, sneaky, advantageous, sharp, almost unstoppable and also a passionate lover, an attractive or motivating leader, enlightening and empowering influence, an intuitive fighter or conqueror. Mars in Scorpio in general can benefit from practicing more patience, practice practicality more or be around grounded, logical influences, and addressing issues of kindness, forgiveness, and redemption, whether that is to the self or others.

Sagittarius Mars: Do it for the rush, the thrill! Get an adrenaline rush via rollercoasters, running, skydiving, join a professional race - anything that safely and legally involves speed. Tell more jokes or stories. Be honest... not just honest, BE BLUNT, just say what is lingering on the tip of your tongue. Take more long walks or drives. Take more leaps of faith. Trust in yourself! Ever have the urge to be the life of the party? Do it, indulge and go a little crazy at a party or lively social gathering. Easily feel drained at a party or in social situations? Consider being around more exciting and/or lighthearted company or find stimulation via debating, learning, or teaching. Don’t suppress or feel guilty about any big emotions or gestures that you need to express and aren’t inherently harmful. Be loud. Nurture assertiveness. Go on an adventure or quest even if it is low-key or via a game. Practice more idealistic or optimistic thinking. Be more spontaneous. Engage with or learn more about those who disagree with you. Enjoy wide open spaces. Test your luck sometimes. Take time to change up or escape any dull routines. Encourage or follow your self-motivation. Embrace independence. Allow yourself to be playful and flirty. Stay away from complicated drama and keep things straightforward and out in the open. Stand up for your beliefs or allow yourself to feel passionately about them. Pay attention to both facts and realism as well as personal truths. Say no to mind games. Brag or show off a little more. Be with partners who are fun and non-pressuring. Take life and yourself less seriously. Be more flexible in conflict or when approaching your goals. Allow yourself to be ardent in the bedroom. Practice open-mindedness in intimacy. Take a shot at entertaining others. Try taking things less personally. Tends to be attracted to those who are charismatic, very independent, intelligent, free-spirited, funny, or those who may seem “exotic” to them. They need to be careful of more superficial relationships or those who are unstable or even devious. They can easily get carried away with lust or infatuation and may need to take relationships more slowly or at least approach them with a lot of good communication and mutual reassurance and trust. Sometimes their impulsive fire, sharp tongue, and snappiness is empowering, other times it can make a mess of things, learning to understand this side of themselves can be important. Mars in Sagittarius can have a shorter fuse, is known for being impatient, can easily burn others with their words, and may exaggerate or easily mislead others. Allowing one’s anger to rile them up and be exerted can be helpful when getting in touch with this Mars Sign, but in general Mars in Sagittarius struggles with crashing and burning in terms of anger and conflict. They can lack focus, miss important details, be too selfish, or get too caught up in the heat of the moment. Taking a moment to step away from heated situations can be helpful along with practicing more patience, calming methods, and concentration.

Capricorn Mars: Take responsibility for your own actions. Embrace and nurture your ambitious side. Set realistic goals for yourself. Be around those you consider to be competent and successful. Buy more high quality and especially long-lasting possessions if possible. Approach life more practically. Be strict and stable with boundaries. Plan more often. Practice patience. Play more strategic games. Accept a more active libido - Mars in Capricorn is known for a hungry 😘, explore this side of you. Enjoy sensuality. Use power poses, words, or clothing. Give yourself pep talks. Stay on top of your manners. Tempted to prove someone wrong? Do it! Tap into your endurance and relentlessness. Take good care of your skin, teeth, knees, and bone and joint health. ALWAYS follow your protective instincts. Keep your cards close. Practice toughness as long as it doesn’t suppress your emotional needs. Be careful when using “tough love”, Capricorn is associated with strictness and even ruthlessness, when getting in touch with this Mars Sign embracing grit can be helpful, but don’t fall into unhealthy habits or behaviors. Be more disciplined and routine. Weigh your options more carefully. Embrace and consciously practice self-authority. Try to keep a cool head. Reward yourself more often. Ask yourself what the more logical solution is to a problem. Don’t lower your standards in love or attraction. Mars in Capricorn tends to be attracted to those who seem mature, responsible, classy, and/or who’s strengths and achievements are aligned with what their culture deems as worthy. They need to be careful of falling into materialistic relationships, ones that focus too much on reputation, being with those who are cold or hard to get close to, or relationships that go nowhere. Mars in Capricorn is exalted, the planet’s energy is comfortable and well expressed. While cool and restrained, Mars finds focus and calculation in Mars. They approach conflict thoughtfully. But despite this advantage Mars in Capricorn can be self-critical, and easily take out their anger on themselves. They tend to not be the best at admitting they are wrong, can be controlling and fear a lack of control, has a blunt and assertive side but also one that is more subtle and even manipulative with eyes set on the prize. Mars in Capricorn can benefit greatly from getting in touch with their gentle and sensitive side. Emotional understanding and practicing tolerance are important.

Aquarius Mars: Rebel more! Practice open communication. Try to be more independent. Challenge your intellect. Indulge in what is or feels new. Find a cause to be passionate about or get involved in. Stand up for what you believe in loudly, dramatically, even radically. Play it cool sometimes. Assertion and individuality are strongly connected for this placement, allow yourself to be seen, stand up for or fight for your uniqueness to be expressed or thrive. Accepting your uncommon desires and turn ons may be important work. Be your own best friend, always. Accept your more stubborn or even opinionated side. Practice more respect towards others and yourself. Practice tolerance within reason. If you don’t feel comfortable with someone’s passion, intensity, affection, or attachment dip out (respectfully), you don’t have to be guilted or pressured into what others define as normal or good in terms of intimacy and sharing. Give into a little chaos. Metaphorically play the mad scientist sometimes or just the madman/woman. If you feel an itch to debate, nit-pick, or go on a bend to prove someone or something wrong...just do it. I don’t want to encourage jerky behavior, but Mars in Aquarius is strong-willed air, this is Mars who is determined to discover the secrets of the universe as well as tear down the status quo - sometimes this means being a little annoying or starting a revolution. Follow the path that helps to liberate yourself. Take more deep breaths. Find what makes you feel free. Ask more questions. Wear more distinct fragrances. Give yourself space from others when mad. Explore subjects in science or technology. Appreciate or take inspiration from science fiction, neon signs or colors, fast-paced music, progressive or futuristic ideas, unpopular or uncommon animals, underrated media, and the latest tech. Step outside your comfort zone more often. Build up courage to break your own boundaries. Appreciate your close friends or allies. Aquarius placements in general seek belonging and a strong, supportive network, it is important to attend to these needs. Don’t fear opposing ideas. Be a trendsetter or indulge in the latest trends - either way this stimulates a need for change, excitement, and the novel. Embrace change! Dive into ideas, stories, themes around destruction and rebuilding. Mars in Aquarius is known for struggling with intimacy, whether emotional or physical. They are known for being dispassionate and aloof. When getting in touch with this Mars Sign, it may be more about emphasizing non-physical aspects of attraction and relationships. Mars in Aquarius needs a strong mental connection with others and tends to be attracted to intellectuals, individualists, rebels, and outsiders. Mars in Aquarius needs to be careful of relationships that lack passion or depth, may fall into relationships with a lot of arguments, or easily feel misunderstood or alone with partners. Good communication, sharing ideals, and lots of respect, acceptance, and equal treatment are important in their closest relationships. Mars in Aquarius is associated with unconventional relationships and this can be hard to define in terms of challenges and benefits. This Mars sign may face unique challenges in their bonds. Mars in Aquarius is known for being erratic and unpredictable in terms of anger, passion, and conflict. This can sound dangerous or scary, but air rules over the mind vs. body or emotions. Their anger usually is expressed through a sharp tongue or they can approach heated situations with logical debates. Many times there can be detachment in their anger or motivation. There can be a strong drive to fight for someone or something. Heat and intensity is usually seen through protest or activism. On a personal level Mars in Aquarius may use a cold shoulder or tricks here and there but this sign is not usually known for passive-aggression or manipulation. More likely is nagging or arguing until you agree with them or give in. It can be hard for some to understand this placements triggers, pet peeves, and passions but they will likely be very willing to explain to you their point of view. It is important for Mars in Aquarius to consider the emotional side of things. Learning to give more reassurance to loved ones may be a lesson.

Pisces Mars: Go with the flow more often. It is important to soothe one’s nerves. Find your muse or learn what inspires you in terms of imagination, art, or ambition. Trust your intuition. Give into a healthy dose of escapism. Too much practicality, mundane, or details can stress Mars in Pisces, sometimes allow yourself to get a little irrational or overly idealistic. Realize the strength in empathy and compassion. Give into lust and passion but also be careful of confusing them with love. Be more understanding of yourself and others. Yes, humans were meant to love each other, be connected - these desires or feelings should drive you and you shouldn’t be ashamed by your needs to feel loved. Be more giving. Your alone time can be sacred. Pay more attention to your emotional and spiritual needs. Stimulate your creative side. Take care of your feet. This may be dangerous to say to a Mars in Pisces... but remove the filter between your heart and your mouth. Read or watch more smut 😏😬. Go into deep talks more often. Enjoy or try a hard drink (not promoting alcoholism). Be more open minded towards flirting. Take inspiration from water, marine life, and isolated places of nature. Sleep or relax to waves, rain, creek, or waterfall sounds. Embrace or even explore your fantasies. Explore themes of sacrifice, saving, healing, and redemption. If you have a taste for horror or thrillers try the more outlandish. Learn more about or pay more attention to body language. Mars in Pisces tends to be attracted to the highly emotional, the sensitive, those who need their help, and possibly martyrs. They need to be careful of putting partners on a pedestal, getting carried away in relationships, or being used. Mars is fiery, wartime, action, assertion while Pisces is known for softness, gentleness, and sensitivity. It should be noted Pisces emotional nature shouldn’t be underestimated - getting in touch with this placement may mean giving into ever-changing emotions, rage can be a flood or storm. This placement can benefit from embracing focus, going to anger management, and working on restraint, but in terms of connecting to the Mars Sign you need to let your anger out (preferably in healthy ways). Mars in Pisces must be mindful of always playing the victim or having a savior complex. Self-delusion is a common risk. At their best Mars in Pisces can be the healer on the battlefield, the oracle, or maybe the spy or double agent. They can be clever, flexible, possibly manipulative, and perceptive in conflict. Their ambition and motivation at times can get lost, it is helpful for this placement to learn what raises their energy. Practicing more realism, objectivity, and stability is important too.

Note

I would love to hear your hot takes!

im so fucking pissed tumblr deleted this as i was writing it. anyways awful bold to ask on anon. ill bite. just no witch hunts my way.

so anyways to preface a few things:

THESE ARE MY OWN DANG OPINIONS ON OBSERVATIONS I'VE MADE DURING MY TIME IN THE FANBASE. if you or someone you like does these things, then that's totally freakin fine! that just means that content isn't gonna be smth I'm gonna enjoy nor consume. anyone is allowed to have their own interpretations of the characters different from the text of the game, the only issue is when people take these interpretations to be canon/word of god and tout them around as such, thus spreading misinformation.

on that note, the things i write about in the section about flanderization are all things based on the text from the games, novels, mangas, and artbooks and if you disagree then just note that in ur head and move or tell me how my interpretation of the text given may differ from yours! i love discussing dmc lore and characterization with other fans!

this post will contain a lot of me doggin on fandom memes or interpretations and if a negative tone like that upsets you, then maybe just scroll past.

and lastly: a warning for a mention of self harm, but only a small mention. nothing in too much detail. read at your own discretion.

first off: yall gotta cool it with the dante haha pizza strawberry shit 😭😭 some ppl rly only reduce him to those things. even if they are his staple foods, he most certainly is not just that. its so annoying. see my tweets below:

next up: there is a HUGE problem with flanderization (reducing the characters to one or a few base traits that, although may be true, are not all a character is). its bad with dante but WAY worse with vergil. nero also suffers from it but its hard to observe cuz no his fanbase is far smaller than vergils and dantes, so I'm not gonna get into him here tbh.

in the case of vergil: ppl write him as a, to quote the johnlock fandom and toplock antis, "dark fuck prince" when he just isn't that. but then they write him as being completely out of touch when he just. isnt that. there's also the issue of the funny power chair haha memes being all he's reduced to.

his quest for power, although a funny haha, isn't all there is to him. he's on that quest because of his trauma and inferiority complex. he fears being weak because it's what he felt when he lost everything and everyone he cared abt.

more than likely, he feels some level of regret for what he put nero through as a father. and although he didnt speak much with him, he still felt he got to connect with him though his time as V, and was able to communicate with him through their battling at the end of 5 (hence his lack of concern for how he felt to have met nero as his son when dante asked).

in the case of dante: there is an issue with interpreting Dante as a hypermasculine, super cool action hero who's a total ladies man and a womanizer. but there's the opposite end with the interpretation of dante almost as if he's a child clinging to a toy with no fight in him. while both of these interpretations of Dante hold weight to some extent, they are taken to either extreme which weakens his character. dante is very multifaceted.

he is very introspective but appears to just be very simpleminded and cocky, a man who loves to goof around and likes to act like the heroes in the movies he watches or the comics he reads (as seen in the dmc1 novel and dmc5). but then u peel back that layer of cockiness, and u see he's just a down to earth guy who just wants to make it to the next day. but then you peel back that down to earth layer, and he's a man so desperate to deny his heritage and insistent on his humanity. but then u peel back that layer, and he's a deeply traumatized man with a strong sense of right and wrong who cares deeply for everyone around him, even those who have hurt him. he's come to acknowledge the fact that he won't be able to save everyone, but he has yet to accept that fact. at the end of the day, none of those layers of Dante are fake, they're all apart of him. he can still be a fun loving goof who is still very caring to those around him and depressed. but so many fans just do surface level things or think he can only be one or the other at a certain time rather than a mix of all.

dante is a man with a lot of love to give and he's very down to earth. he might not be forthcoming about what he wants but when he wants smth he yearns for it rather than acting and trying to get it. more than anything, though, he doesn't want to be alone. he really can't be left alone because of his introspective nature; otherwise, he'd get so lost in his own head and heart, to the point where he can't get out of his head, so it'd lead to him harming his body to try and find a way out.

letter number 3: i dont like how some ppl write dialogue for Dante and vergil im so sorry 😭😭

I've seen ppl write dante like he's a cowboy. he talks very casual but he's not like that.

getting into that why do ppl feel the need to try and write out every quirk of a characters' speech in text? like with nico or morrison or cowboy dante? like just write it out normally i can still hear it in the characters' voices when its normal.

but anyways, for vergil, a lot of ppl write him like hes a thesaurus. i feel like this just stems from the way he uniquely enunciates his words. his speech is not far off from Nero or Dante's casual speak, he just sprinkles in a few more formal words or enunciates normal words in a way that makes them sound fancy or bigger.

number d: i dont think nero can carry his own game. i just dont. call me a filthy Dante stan, but dmc is about the story of dante and his family? hence why hes the main character? so to have a game with just nero would make it feel weaker and detract from those themes. as well, there's so many more stories thar can be told with dante and/or vergil with nero there too either after 5 or before 5. like what happened in the ten years between dmc3 and dmc1? why did Dante's demeanor change so much from 2 to 4? what other stories could be told between the previous games?

???: dante might as well be a female character with how little itsuno likes to use him and do stuff with him.

finally: vergil stans have had it too good I'm coming for u guys. we get it itsuno loves vergil and nero and will give them everything. meanwhile dante stans have to deal with the scraps matt walker fights for us to have. yall are too loud and act like the minority when you guys are the majority 😭😭😭

i am going to punt 8 yo vergil across a football field.

#presenting my hot takes #no hate to anyone who does these things #they're just things i Don't Like #also the last one is half joking but genuinely #vergil stans calm down #pls dont send me hate I will cry #amanda rambles #devil may cry

Xaje(Z-Age): The Poetic Murderer

Yours truly made a Kingdom Hearts/Organization XIII Sona recently & finally decided to post about him here due to the fact that he somehow managed to develop an everlasting fear of people stealing his hard earned brain-work over night. Anyway, just take these small scrap doodles & angst ridden quotes I created earlier. None of this really counts as attention-worthy in my eyes, believe me, I am well aware of the fact at this point, but it’s solely for the sake of me not losing my mind over the possibility of my ideas being stolen anytime soon(plus, truth be told, I’ve actually grown quite fond of this miniscule scheme we artists call “character design”). Now, where were we? Ah yes, my quotes & in-game dialogue:

“Shadows can’t appear without light nor can stars shine without the darkness. In conclusion, our worlds require both one & the other in order to exist within a state of tranquil harmony. Perhaps we should start encountering that terribly desirable goal by changing your uneducated perspective.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“You blinded light dwellers would never understand, you believe that the world is filled with happiness & success, that even in the darkest of times there’ll always be that last sliver of hope worth holding onto, that all of your feeblest dreams will one day come true. Well you’re wrong. The world is nothing more than darkness in itself, and we’re living proof of that. Us Nobodies were once like you, foolish, ignorant, weak, we clung to those same beliefs that you now spout and look where it’s landed us. An endless, inescapable abyss of nothingness in which we gather & begrudgingly call a home. Welcome to The Castle That Never Was.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“Do I cause you to question the English language itself? Good. Confusion is the mind’s greatest weakness after all. Along with curiosity of course, but I’ll gladly settle for either of the two.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“Allow me to put a quick end to this poorly written story of yours. It’s plot is becoming terselessly bland & ever so flavorless, these pages could endanger the less prepared minds of vain readers, & besides, not even the characters seem to know what they’re doing anymore.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“Thank you, but no. I prefer to eat in private. Being here amongst the presence of all your beautiful faces is causing me to feel deeply self loathsome, or for the less educated, gross.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“Yeah, I study gems. Nothing crazy though, mainly just a load of Google searches & me being pretentious, heh. Anyway, what was that really cool thing you were doing with that giant key just now?”

-𝙹𝚊𝚎

“I’m a poet, just living out my life & writing my own stories I guess. Not like anyone else would bother reading them anyway.”

-𝙹𝚊𝚎

“Hey uh- Is that a pen? Cause I kinda need one right now. Crazy bunch of ideas just flooded my pea sized brain. Wouldn’t wanna forget them right? A mind-full of words now could turn into a completely full fledged story later, who knows.”

-𝙹𝚊𝚎

“Blueberries, literature, & dreams. These are the few things I’ve stayed alive for. Yup, fourteen years of being a hopeless idiot & disappointing everyone I come by.”

-𝙹𝚊𝚎

“But why do we hate darkness even though we’re literally surrounded by it every night!? I thought you Keyblade idiots knew better, I thought you were better! Heh, guess I was wrong… Note to self: Never put your trust in anybody EVER AGAIN! BECAUSE THIS UNIVERSE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FILTHY BREEDING POT FULL OF EVEN FILTHIER BACKSTABBERS!-”

-𝙹𝚊𝚎

“Unfortunately enough, it seems that I’ve run out of stories to tell… Heh, I should’ve realized this moment was going to come for me sooner or later. A writer’s charm only lasts so long before it fades, just as a pen will eventually run out of ink, or an uncharted idea will eventually be forgotten. Yet again, that bothersome light you use to fight us is no different when compared to those few simpleminded examples. Expiable, inconsistent, just like the hearts you so proudly hold.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“Why must inspiration always come to me at the worst of times?- Ugh, I suppose that new writing prompt of mine will just have to wait for later, you on the other hand, shall be dealt with now.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“Your specialty should be renewed into a weapon of some sort. Coming naturally to you in times of need, refined, retrained, & unlike what it was before. Here, take my trusty Fountain Pen for example: From normal size to weaponized! It’s quite fun actually, not that I have a heart to garner the enjoyment of course, but still, one cannot deny when one has alas discovered the thing they endearingly call ‘a hobby.’”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

“The beings I once called ‘family’ were nothing more than burdensome unaccepting hate speakers, & surely enough, they still are. It was because of them that I ended my miserable self & landed here, fractured, incomplete, but more relieved than I can ever recall being whilst I still garnered a heart from within. Yes yes, it may not be the most apparent thing to you newcomers, but being a Nobody has its perks, especially if you willingly chose to be one.”

-𝚇𝚊𝚓𝚎

Now for an unanimated cutscene of two characters conversing through the unprofessional script put together by yours truly:

Xaje: We’re nothing more than a stain on the pristinely white pages of your world, an unwanted drop of ink that was never meant to exist in the first place, a thing you unaccepting light dwellers would call ‘a mistake.’ Still we roam freely, collecting the negative reputation you’ve forcefully written us to have. Ever spreading, ever growing, never stopping till we’ve met our untimely ends. Perhaps you & I aren’t so different after all, P/N.

Protagonist: Shut it, I’m nothing like you!

Xaje: Hm, don’t be so foolish light dweller, our respective roles as heroes & well… Antiheroes, will always set us apart of course, but in the end we both want what’s best for this dreaded empire, don’t we? deny it not any further P/N, we’re one in the same, you’re simply far too blinded by the light to see truth when it’s clearly there. Well, if I can’t persuade you now, perhaps I’ll try again another time, good day.

Protagonist: Huh?! Hey, come back! QUIT RUNNING AWAY FROM ME YOU COWARD!

Xaje: You see what I mean, foolish, ignorant, weak. Are baseless insults & vile acts of bullying really your only powers? Tsk tsk tsk, how very sad indeed.

Protagonist: SHUT UP!

Xaje: Till we meet again dearest light dweller, be sure to keep that precious little heart of yours safe whilst we’re apart, won’t you? I find that it can be quite fragile at times.

Protagonist: I SAID BE QUIET!- Aaannnd he’s gone… AGAIN!

Werewolf Bakugou x reader!! I’d like it if there was a lot of his wolf form!! Maybe the reader is a mage as well!! Perhaps there’s a war happening and they got separated in the midst of battle and one gets slightly injured. I know you said no gore. Sorry this is so all over the place!!

Thank you for requesting! This is my first request on this blog and I tried my best with this one-shot to meet it to your expectations so I hope you like it ♡ I went for a sort of forbidden fantasy love narrative if that’s alright.

ᴍᴏᴏɴ ᴄʜɪʟᴅʀᴇɴ

ραιяιиg : werewolf! katsuki bakugou x fem! mage! reader

ɢɛռʀɛ : fluff, a tiny bit of angst

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs : none

աօʀɖ ƈօʊռȶ : 4.2k

𝕤𝕦𝕞𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕪 : Amidst a raging war between your fellow sorcerers and the Werewolves, you find yourself unexpectedly in love with their Alpha.

╔═══°∴,*⋅✲══〖✰〗══✲⋅*,∴°═══╗

It was an absolute nightmare. It was not how you wanted to use the gifts you had been given, you didn’t want this. Your refused to use your grandmothers teaching of spells and magic for carnage and murder, you wanted to help and save, to nurture those who could not help themselves. You had been sent to fight a pointless war, driven by null excuses. Dragged and thrown into confrontation by your father and mother, who seemed to care little or not at all about your say in the matter. Everyone in your village, every sorcerer and mage believed that such beasts shouldn’t exist, that lycanthropy was nothing more than a demon’s stunt to lure you to Hell, going so far as to say their leader or Alpha was their term, was the embodiment of Lucifer himself.

You on the other hand, you thought that they were a misunderstood species. You wished to simply understand them, to perceive their culture and recognize them for who they truly are. Not based on some silly rumor to terrify children into being proper. You abandoned your family and left to start a life of your own, where you had the privilege to make your own choices. Though, nothing went according to plan. Third night of being in complete solitude, with nothing but the faint pale light of a full moon to keep you company, you had found yourself surrounded by beasts of the night. Ghouls and vampires alike, all frothing at the mouth like rabid animals.

You were sure you had met your maker, when out of the same obscurity appeared a small pack of wolves. Leaping from the wilderness both beautiful and utterly massive. Your saviors had either chased or mauled your captors, only when they turned to you snarling and barking you began to realize your relief was short-lived. At the head of the band, an enormous golden wolf with pearly grand canines and vibrant scarlet eyes. You couldn’t help but stare in awe at how bulky he was compared to the other wolves surrounding him, and how gorgeous he looked under the silver moon. His frame hunched as he gradually made his way toward you, lips pulled back with a thunderous snarl.

“W-Wait! Please!”

Your voice was hoarse with dehydration, your body shivered from the bitting cold and eyes swollen with how many tears you had shed throughout the whole night. You didn’t want to die like this, you refused to give up, even if you were far to frail to fight back. Your prayers must’ve been answered because before the blonde creature could pounce, a second voice boomed from afar.

“Bakugou wait.”

A crimson brute stepped around the blonde and stood in front of your trembling form. His audits pulled back in a pleading manner. Bakugou—was his name— was far from pleased.

“Move aside now Kirishima. Do not make me ask again. She’s a fucking wizard, she has to die.”

“Bakugou look at her, she’s dying. There’s no way she could cast a simple spell without killing herself. Spare her and let us help her.”

Bakugou sneered at his right hand man. Deep down he knew he had a valid reason, and when he peeked around his friends shoulder. You looked horrible, your clothes barely clinging to your rather boney frame, and you appeared to be severely malnourished. He couldn’t help but feel small pang of remorse just with a short glance.

“Please Bakugou, She needs help. Don’t be the monster they say you are. Prove them wrong.”

His scowl worsened, enraged by the Beta’s comment and his pack mates hostile and dissatisfied with the cardinal male. He jumped the at the male, puffing out his chest in a dominating manner and gave him a throaty growl. “You think I give a shit? Let them think what they want of me. Merciful or not, I’m doing it to protect you and the damn pack. My answer is final. No.” With a final snap of his jaws at Kirishima he turned his back on him, a deafening bark commanding the additional wolves to follow.

“No! I beg of you don’t leave! P-please..!”

The Alpha froze. Audits no longer dragged behind him in irritation but now rather set vertically upon his heavy cranium, clearly interested at the sound of your abused voice.

“I-I’ll help your pack. I can use my magic for harvest, livestock. I-I can heal your comrades! I’ll do anything! Just please... Don’t l-leave me to rot away here...” The other wolves became suddenly interested at your proposal, giving each other quick glimpses in question to whether or not you were trust worthy. Even so it was eerily silent with nothing but the weak chirps of crickets filling the void. For a moment everything seemed to freeze before Bakugou promptly padded toward your paltry physique, large paws mere centimeters from you when you felt his hot exhale on your cheeks. You gazed up at him locking into those bloody visionaries, pupils nothing but thin slits.

“Mark my words sorcerer. Attempt anything to harm me or my pack, and I’ll leave you to vampires to properly feast on. Do I make myself clear?” The emphasis he used on each word sent chills down your arms leaving you covered in goosebumps. You hastily nodded, receiving nothing but a firm grunt. Bakugou swiveled around once more and turned his attention to Kirishima, getting uncomfortably adjacent with his companion and repeating the same actions he had done with you.

“And you will be held accountable.”

Without so much as a second glance he sauntered away, his intimidating aura and the other wolves following along behind him. Kirishima assisted you as you climbed onto his woolly back and silently rested while you both made your way to what seemed to be a lions den. The clan was hostile and cruel towards you, you were certain that Bakugou would throw you to them like a damn bone once he was through with you.

You would have laughed if fate told you he would mark you as his mate and lover just weeks later.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

“Bakugou!”

You and Katsuki both bolted from slumber at the frantic yelp coming from outside the cozy teepee, small flickers of the flame lanterns shone through. You looked over at Bakugou who was adorned with nothing but coal cotton trousers, and you in a simple nightgown. He caught your gaze with tired yet alarmed optics, molding his large calloused palm into your slim silky hand tenderly. Giving your fingers a gentle squeeze he swiftly removed the fur blankets from his body and made his way to the the broad curtain and heaved it open. Revealing a bruised and evidently exhausted Kirishima, you and Katsuki gazed wide eyed at the male. It only took you a second to quickly scamper to your lovers side. Katsuki grabbed a hold of the red-head’s arm, who you now had the privilege to call a dear friend. “Kirishima? What the hell happened to you?”

“Bakugou... It’s the sorcerer’s village. They’ve come. Oh god Bakugou... They have killed so many of our own.”Kirishima wailed, heaving feeling as though his lungs would collapse any second. Your heart seemed to be running a marathon in your chest, terrified for what was to come between your former folk, your former family. Katsuki growled lowly, pivoting on his heel aggressively and stomping his way to seize his fiery red cloak. You sweat dropped with every action he took, you felt like bauling your eyes out when you came to the awareness of what Katsuki was going to do. He was making his past you before you roughly grasping his wrist.

“What are you doing?”

What a stupid question. You knew better than to be so simpleminded. You knew exactly what he was planning, but you wouldn’t let yourself believe it for even a second. The look he gave you said it all, it let you know that you were at the point where you could lose him. He was at his wits end with this war, and he was going to put an end to it once and for all. Even if it meant laying down his own life. You sobbed, squeezing his wrist impossibly tighter, praying that if you did he wouldn’t be able to leave, to leave you behind. Katsuki released a shaky sigh, he let himself incline down to your level and pressed a sweet kiss to your lips. It was short, but by the way his eyes were clenched shut you could see he was resisting the urge to ravish himself in your beauty. He exhaled through his nose, nostrils flared when he turned away from you, lips tight lipped as he began to regain composure. He refused to meet your scrutiny, afraid that if he examine your beauty for a second longer he would have second thoughts.

“I love you (y/n). Please forgive me.”

“...What?”

He untangled his wrist from your sweaty palms, his once raging stare occupied with nothing but heartache and heavy sorrow. That all disappeared when he met Kirishima’s optics with a scowl and a stern nod. You trembled when you watched Katsuki clap his grip onto Kirishima’s shoulders, the former stumbling slightly at the impact.

“Take her as far away from here as you can, and if I don’t come back... You take care of my girl you hear me?” His profound voice trembled, and as soon he received a nod of affirmation from his friend he turned his back on him and you. Without so much as a sparing glance, and your heart dropped 50 feet below you.

“No! Katsuki no!”

You whimpered. You instantly made a run for your lover but before you get too far Kirishima grabbed a hold of your waist and pulled to back whilst you writhed in his arms, howling and sobbing after Katsuki.

“No! No! Let me go Kirishima! Let me go! Katsuki come back! KATSUKI! ”

Tears flowed your face without remorse, your throat ached as you screamed at the figure that disappeared into the trees, the silver beam of moonlight that broke through the tree line outlined powerful structure splendidly. Kirishima whimpered beside you, struggling to persevere in keeping you back as you howled and weeped after his friend. You eventually fell limp in his grasp, too weak to resist him any longer and only containing the energy to wail in agony. Kirishima’s knees wobbled, stifling his own cries he struggled to keep you upright and move. He failed. Falling to his knees all he could do now was mourn with you and whisper his apologies.

“Come.... We must leave before they get any closer.” Kirishima whispered after a few prolonged moments, his voice nasally and gruff. He carefully rose from his knees—which still trembled terribly— and grasped your elbows to assist you as well, but he froze when he saw he look on your face. An expression of renewed vigor and determination.

“(y/n)? What are yo—“

It was a plain graze to his bicep, but it was enough to send a sudden pulse through his body and his eyes rolling to the back of his skull as he fell limp. A simple sleeping spell you had learned at a young age, yet it’s effects last only 10 minutes before he would awaken.

“I’m sorry Kirishima. I refuse to run from this.” You scanned his unconscious form a moment, and made a mad dash into the trees in the direction you last saw Katsuki. The bare soles of your feet ached, sprinting over twigs and sharp rocks. You would only falter when you got deep enough into the forest in which you began to hear the howls and hollers of both man and wolf, occasional screams and yelps as well. You kept running until you found yourself in a large clearing at the mountain side, and just a couple meters ahead you could make out the shapes of some senior mages you knew and wolves who seemed to be outnumbering their foes quite drastically, but were at a disadvantage in terms of power.

Cautiously, you made your way around the commotion and squatting behind the thickets. you had been an apprentice under your grandmother to become a storm mage like her, but even if you knew some fairly powerful spells it wasn’t going to be enough to take on a handful of far more experienced sorcerers. Adrenaline flowing through your system, pounding about in your chest and head as you struggled to come up with a plan of action. Your legs throbbed but you couldn’t remain hidden forever, peered over the small sprigs and leaves to search for a specific golden canine.

It was moments before you finally spotted him, farther into the clearing he was evading the attacks of a elder mage. Large orbs of energy being thrown at the Alpha male proved futile when he practically sidestepped each one, and the sorcerer was growing quite frustrated and desperate. Katsuki was too occupied with the man in front of him he failed to noticed another approach him from behind, bright amber flames flickering across his palm and a devilish grin across his lips as he got increasingly closer to the Alpha. In a split-second you took one great leap from out of the vegetation and sprinted in his route, the adrenaline surges through your body so fast you could feel bile rise to your throat and the sailva thicken on your tongue. But not for a second did you hesistate, as you got closer you flexed your fingers, feeling a piercing heat spread from your fingertips to your forearms. Once you had gotten close enough you pounced and tackled the fire mage to the ground.

You both fumbled, twisting your body so you straddled the man and before he could counter you gripped his head between your hands and let an intense wave of electricity through your palms. The male in return shrieked, falling comatose in your grasp in mere seconds. You unfurled your fingers from his cranium, taking quick huffs and slowly standing to your feet. You gawked down at the mage, your muscles slightly sore and weak from the exertion.

“What the fuck are you doing here?!”

A booming growl broke your trance, pivoting on your heels to look at the wolf who marched toward you furiously, the elder sorcerer lay mutilated behind him. “You shouldn’t be here! You could’ve gotten yourself killed!” He snarled breathily, you appeared so frail in comparison to him, he towered over you even in his wolf form though he hunched over slightly to meet your (e/c) visionaries. You met his own crimson ones, completely livid. “You’re a fool if you really thought I’d let you turn your back on me like that. You’re a complete asshole!”

You pushed a finger to his woolly chest, your movements frantic as you hollered. Katsuki could only stand there dumbfounded, startled by your unexpected outburst. However he just wasn’t capable of resisting a smirk as you kept up your rambling about how selfish and moronic the ruffian was.

“Are you even listening to a single thing I’m saying Katsuki?” You finally ask and in response he unleashed a deep chuckle “Not a single word princess.” You growled and promptly pinched his blonde audit roughly which left Katsuki to jerk away from your grip with a small yelp. “What the fuck, you shitty woman?! The hell was the for? You know how much that shit hurts!”

You watched in amusement at such a dominant figure pussy away from a small nip, his ear now lopsided as he hopelessly to try and remove the stinging throb. You carefully amble toward him and seize his soft cheeks into your hands. “Because Katsuki, the fact that you sincerely thought you could just leave like that.. It breaks my heart. You do not get to abandon me once everything goes to shit, you chose me as your mate. I am not going to run, not from this and certainly not from you. Argue with me all you want, be a stubborn ass. I don’t care, I’m with you through it all.” You whisper, Katsuki huffed in defeat at your declaration and decided it would be best to keep his mouth shut. Threading your digits through the wild tufts of fur. Katsuki emitted a heavy purr at the action, his eyelids fluttered close.

His lids flew back open and his nostrils flared. The faint aroma of an unreleaved individual left him stiff, on instinct he sunk his canines into your night gown and launched you to the side. In an instant, all too familiar splinters of ice striked Katsuki head on, his form colliding violently at the base of a tree. “Katsuki!” You hollered after him, appalled at the motionless bundle of blonde laying in the fields of grass. You didn’t have the time to check if he was still alive when a figure stepped from the shadows.

“Mother?” You gaped at the woman in front of you, her once calm nature gone. She glares at you like an absolute savage, her mouth agape in a silent scream and her hands covered in frost from the use of her magic. Your mind all but clear, frozen to any movement you begged to take so all you could do was speak. “Mother.” you repeated and curled your lip, never had you thought you could so much resentment toward someone who had once meant so much to you, that was until now. Her scowl intensified at this, sneering in disgust as she began to circle you.

“Your judgement has been tainted by that demon! That... Devil! You’re not my daughter. My daughter would never allow herself to manipulated by such a beast. Allow me to be so kind and put an end to your misery!”

Her palms aimed toward you, a slew of words spilled from her lips and another wave of ice raced towards you. You still couldn’t move, and even if you could the rate the icicles we’re reaching you wouldn’t be able to evade it in time. On impulse, you raised your own hands. The same heat and prickles coarsing through your veins, and with your own mumbled words an enormous discharge of lightning boomed through the ice, tearing it in half and send shards flying all around you. The bolt of lightning didn’t seem to cease in momentum, charging rapidly toward your mother. All she could do was watch as the powerful fulmination surged toward her, and with a final screech it striked devastating blow to her chest. She soared backwards, her body disappearing back into the darkness of the forest. You stood triumphant, but in a great deal of pain.

Your arms where left severely burned and a furious red, the dull pounding made your head spin. Though you ignored the aching and immediately sprinted to Katsuki’s unconscious frame, small crystals of ice clung to his fur on the side of impact. As you neared his body you just about cried when you heard the heavy breaths that left his mouth, labored and raspy but a clear indication that he was still alive. You maneuvered tourist his large cranium upon your lap and assessed the damage done to him. You reached out to caress his coated chest, around the location the ice rammed into him. Katsuki began to whimper in response and you quickly retracted your hand. You choked on your sobs as you stared at him, you were far too weak to perform any healing spells on him. Even if you tried you would kill yourself before you would even be able to mend a single bone in his body. With that the tears broke out like water from a dam, you had never felt so powerless in your life, so weak. You knew you could’ve done more to insure his saftey but you simply were not strong enough.

Loud and boisterous howls sounded off behind you almost in a cheering manner in the direction of the clearing. You smiled crookedly, turning back to the wolf in your lap you cupped his cheeks once again threaded your insensate digits gingerly through the blonde pelt. “Katsuki, wake up. They did it. We did it. Wake up so you can see! Please..” You pleaded in a whisper to the unconscious male, fruitless attempts to soothe him through his suffering. Your heart clenched painfully with every passing second “I’m sorry Katsuki.. I’m so sorry..” You sounded like a fucking child , you were crying hysterically as you continued to observe your love’s trembling and broken form.

Thunderous pounding resonated behind you, gradually getting closer and without hesitation you roared in the direction of the sound.

“Over here! Katsuki’s badly hurt!”

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

“Come with me. I want to show you something.”

His voice was as inticing as ever, his hand outstretched for you to take. You gave him a gentle smile and intertwined his fingers into yours, peering back to examine the three miniature silhouettes outlined by the candlight covered in pelt and wool blankets.

“They’ll be fine, they’re heavy sleepers.”

You snorted at this, rolled your eyes dramatically as Katsuki led out out of the comfortable teepee and into the woodlands. “I wonder where that got it from.” You squeezed his palm teasingly, Katsuki grumbled lowly in reply. He escorted you through the forest, the warm milky glow of the moon lighting the way. “Where are we going?” You finally asked, huddling into his side and nuzzling your cheek into his bicep . “Weren’t you ever told that patience is a virtue? We’re almost there.” He stated with a click of his tongue, his stride never stalled for a moment as he continued to lead you through the trees.

It was minutes when he then guided you through some brambles and bushes, and the sight you had been graced with was absolutely breathtaking. There you stood on a grassy cliff side by the sea, the ocean vast and wide. The waves boldly clapped against the boulders and stones below and wafted the briny aroma to your nostrils. You could almost taste the salt on your chapped lips, though that wasn’t even the best part. The Moon was the utter show-stopper. The Moon stood enormously in the sky, hovering just over the sea and seemed like a mere arm stretch away.

“Do you like it?” Katsuki broke your attention on the scene in front of you, tenderly wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you into his firm chest. You found yourself so entranced with the view it was getting increasingly harder to focus on anything else. “It’s incredible Katsuki… I love it.” You murmured, tracing soft lines on the arms that trapped you and relaxing in his hold. He ran the tips of his calloused fingers up and down your hips “I’m glad. It’s called a Super Moon, it only happens every couple of years, and I’ve been planning to show you this for some time.” You cackled, giving a small pinch to the mucle on his right forearm. “Wow, I’m impressed Katsuki. Who knew you could be so romantic.” You could almost feel the blood rush to his face, a crimson tint decorating his handsome face. “Tch, shut up.. It’s just my way of saying thank you.”

“Thank you? For what?” You brows furrowed in confusion, you focused your regard onto the the smooth ripples of the water. You felt Katsuki rest his chin on your dome, his pecs expanding on your shoulder blade when he sighed. “For everything. For saving me my ass, for giving me a couple of rebels for kids, and for loving me despite my reputation. You gave me something to live and strive for, so thank you.”

You grinned from ear to ear at his confession, biting your lip to suppress the intensity of your love for him. “I suppose I should be thanking you too. You gave me something to live for as well.” Katsuki gave a heavy chortle, leaning down slightly to indulge himself in your neck. His fiery breath against your artery sent tremors down your spine, nose nudging vertically up your collar.

Times changed, people along with it. His arrival in your life was unexpected and yet fulfilling to a great extent. You found each other in a place where darkness resides in, and together you and Katsuki illuminated a future you had both been blind to. You felt as though your eyes had been opened to new side of life. Surrounded in clarity, fullness and most of all, the beauty in love.

So you both stood embraced on the cliff side bathing in the pure rays of the Moon, who seemed to shine brighter than the brother Sun. Blessing the sky with her divine presence and joining the stars that freckled the black sky, the navy ocean acting as a mirror, reflecting the Moon flawlessly. She was the mother of the night sky, a goddess watching over every beating heart, because she is always there, close to our earth to keep us company while she can.

“I love you Katsuki.”

“I love you too princess.”

if you still doin that character thingy... Kanda, pls? or Krorykins, whichever u wanna do more, cuz i cannot choose 😅

*breathes in* This is it. This is how I finally get to write about two characters in one go because I also can’t choose XD I hope you don’t mind this getting long and thank you for giving me them, you beautiful human being! 🥺

Kanda

My otp for them: With Alma, no doubt (only trust!). Alma’s last moments break my heart, in a good way - they are soulmates meant to be. Their story is very sad and yet extremely touching and beautiful. I have a thing for lovers who meet again in their next lives, as I’m a sucker for the “red string of fate” myth. I get emotional just thinking of their relationship, and I wish, I really wish, that if they have another chance, that they can meet again and finally be happy together without being torn apart by the tragedies of war. My brotp for them: Weirdly enough, I’d say Allen! After Alma arc, Kanda seems to be a lot softer than before, and I’ve been loving the mutualism between him and Allen. They are very alike (as much as they hate to admit it), and that’s why they can understand each other well and know what the other needs without him needing to say anything. They’re both not good at talking about their feelings. Any other ships: With Lenalee! I know most people see their relationship as a brotherly one, but man, they have such good chemistry together. They bicker often, but just imagine what a killer duo they would be 💦 I’m weak for powerful couples. They know each other ever since they’re little, so they have shared a lot of moments together and know each other well, too - the scene in which Lenalee goes to meditate with him because she was scared of Lvellie was adorable; she feels safe around him. Their best friend: I want to say Marie! I think Kanda would rather people who don’t snoop around too much into his personal space, and Marie simply knows where these boundaries are at. He also knows how to deal very well with Kanda’s temper. He understands him but also knows of his flaws, yet he doesn’t question or confronts him, which I’m sure Kanda appreciates. He’s been recently showing that he cares a lot about Johnny as well, but deep down, Kanda does care about many of the people close to him. My favorite nickname for them: It’s gotta be Bakanda, the pun is just great XD It doubles in greatness because, in my language/official release, this got translated as “BabaKanda”, which is also a pun! In Portuguese, “babaca” is the same as “idiot”. So I appreciate this silly pun a lot more thanks to that XD My favorite AU headcanon of them: I think that, sadly, Kanda won’t make it alive to the end of the story. I headcanon that, in case he does die, it’s after repaying his debt with Allen in a roundabout way; he did help Allen, but at the same time, he went to rest in peace together with Alma. And Allen did fight for them to be happy together, so I just... kinda want this to be true. It would pain me to see Kanda go, but this would be his happy ending and he deserves this. My favorite outfit they wear: A hard pick! Kanda is very handsome so basically, anything he puts on will look awesome. However, the one moment that made me go 💓 was when we saw him in civilian clothes (Chapter 208). Jesus Christ!? He was stunning. I really like his current Order uniform + outer coat combo too, looks so comfy and warm. Defining color: When I think of Kanda, I think of a mix of colors. Namely, Cobalt (#1338BE), Carnation (#FFA6C9) and Indigo (#4B0082). I believe it’s because of the Lotus Pain ending using this palette for the effects of the lotus flowers shining in contrast with the dark background colors. Would I date them: As handsome and amazing as he is, I wouldn’t. I know he’d hate my guts because I’m the type of person who wants to overthink and needlessly talk things over more than he should, and Kanda simply abhors the very idea of this 😂 He is a simpleminded guy, and I quite like that on him. First impression: I knew Kanda wouldn’t be the bland “angry asshole character” trope during his and Allen’s first mission together, in Martel. What he told Allen left a mark and made me think there was a lot more depth to him: "I hate the way naive people like you do things... And even more so, I hate people who don't keep their promises!" This one line told me a lot about his personality. Current impression: Pretty much my first impression, but with a lot more context! I really love Kanda and his past was a surprise to me. It made me appreciate him even more than I already did. Hogwarts House: I’d say Slytherin. He would stop at nothing until he found “that person”, and this House is well known for the ambition of its people. He’s also sharp and while not smarts smart, he is perceptive and intelligent in his own way; very skilled as well. Which Pokemon starter they’d be: Oshawott! Samurott looks as intimidating and stoic as Kanda, besides, it’s definitely based on a samurai, so they share this trait as well. Its first stages don’t look like much, but Samurott gets its own sword to fight with!

Krory

My otp for them: With Elliade! Now, this is one complex relationship. I admit I don’t like Elliade much but, at the same time, I understand her. For an Akuma, she really did love Krory; and he still loves her too. I just wish she hadn’t left him in the dark for so long. Her love was selfish and, while I understand how she felt, I feel bad for Krory since he thought he was a monster and that drove him to loneliness. I wish things could have been different, because their love was really pretty despite the downsides, their feelings for each other were very strong. My brotp for them: I want to say Marie! The latest Discussion Room (Vol.27) mentioned how good Krory is at many things, one of them being music. I love to think that he and Marie could have enjoyable long talks about their shared interest, they do look like the type of guys to appreciate music on a higher, more emotional level. Any other ships: I don’t have any, but I’ll make a mention to Miranda! While I don’t ship them personally, I totally see why people do. They’re both soft sweethearts who are always ready to do their best towards the people they care about - and they also share low self-esteem, sadly. The world has been very unfair with them 😢 Their best friend: Definitely Allen and Lavi! They were Krory’s first friends ever, and it’s clear how much he cares about them. My heart literally can’t take how they’re the first thoughts that cross Krory’s mind when he’s scared; it means that he feels accepted by them, they bring him comfort and make him feel safe and confident that everything will be alright. It’s just so sweet. My favorite nickname for them: Krorykins! If there’s one thing the English translation did right (and I can’t say that for like 80% of it), was translating “Kuro-chan” as “Krorykins”. It sounds so silly it’s cute 😅 My favorite AU headcanon of them: Just like I wrote about Miranda on her post, I headcanon he’s one of the people to either drop out of the Order to side with Allen, or actively help him in other ways. I think it’s not a mere coincidence Hoshino-sensei had specifically him, one of the people who cherish Allen the most, accompany Chaozii to go after him. I’m observing with great interest, as they might meet again sometime soon. It broke my heart to see him wanting to see Allen but, at the same time, wishing he had escaped safely. My favorite outfit they wear: There’s only one answer to this question, and it’s his casual clothes! He looks so elegant and fancy, so handsome yet so adorable! I mean, just look at him! Defining color: When I think of Krory, I think of deep red, a crimson shade like Carmine (#960019). I’m very sure it’s because of his Innocence. Would I date them: Maybe? I think I’d like befriending him more than dating him. He’s close to me in age though (unlike most of the characters I’ve written about so far XD) so I’d be down to it. Imagine dating a sweet guy who not only could cook you your favorite dishes but also has a more assertive, wilder side to him. Sounds like the complete package. First impression: Who is this? He looks scary but my intuition tells me there’s more than it meets the eye. Oh, he’s crying. He’s worried...? That’s too sweet, I’m betting he’s not a villain. Current impression: Well, he wasn’t a villain just like I had thought! Krory is an amazing but underrated character, he definitely deserves more love and appreciation. I love his personality, but what I love the most about him is how he had everything to be the “plain edgy, shady character” and then this notion was completely twisted around. I love it when things aren’t just about appearance. Hogwarts House: I see him being in Hufflepuff! The best people I know (namely, my best friend and spouse) are from this House and while they’re sweet and caring people, there’s also a lot to them more than it meets the eye, just like with Krory! Hufflepuffs are dedicated, loyal, and capable. Which Pokemon starter they’d be: Great question because when you think of him, you’d instantly think of a bat Pokémon, right? haha But I’d give him Sobble, I think! Poor shy crybaby that gets to go from water to wine upon evolving into its last stage, which is completely fabulous and badass! Drizzile even has the prominent bang falling on its face, while Inteleon has what could look like how Krory’s bang gets upward when his Innocence is activated 🤔

#dgm #d.gray man #kanda yu #yu kanda #arystar krory #take a shot every time I say the word 'sweet' on Krory's #beware of alcoholic coma #this one got long! They're already long on their own #but I never thought people would be interested in my opinions and I'm so flattered #I'm having a blast; on cloud nine #I just apologize for the text walls all the same though!#ask

justice: do you value fairness over mercy?

TL;DR: Both, but probably more mercy despite what the internet says. As posed by Catherine and the war, he has trouble rationalizing attacking or killing children no matter what crimes they may have committed (must’ve been brought up in very classically “good” environments), and honestly probably fares best as a small-time defender of the weak (as most of his endings have him doing) or as soldier to someone else’s ideals he accepts (aka taking someone else’s justice as his own, aka copying Catherine). Simpleminded and can’t handle all the grays too well XD

Idk. Caspar loudly proclaims, or at least is stated on the internet to, favor justice and fairness, but I suspect his default definition of justice is doing good by all groups of people he deems “good”, e.g friends, thieves supporting the weak, or classically weak groups, like average villagers and kids. He may well skew more merciful than fair (at least if one assumes “fair” = eye for eye treatment, up to and including death). The most prominent tipping point seems to be whether he has any emotional or sympathetic connection to the villain in question; but if he (thinks he) taught the villain an unforgettable lesson (e.g. his first line in Ferdinand’s supports), that also skews him more merciful too. The evidence I can remember for this is a bit spotty, but I feel like Byleth’s C might’ve had a different outcome if it were a noble villain looking out over the children he’s thieving to support (of course, Caspar would’ve had to notice it with his “instincts” or slow down enough first); and I imagine he’d be quite sympathetic to Ashe if he ever told him of his thieving past, despite what may be implied in their supports. However, when the enemy is clearly (rationalized, by him or someone else, to be) an enemy, he definitely skews more towards eye-for-eye “fairness”, albeit one colored by perceived past and future wrongs on the villain’s part (and whatever some trusted individual told him if applicable). He has fewer qualms when he is told who his villains are and/or can stereotype them as evildoers, but starts questioning the meaning of justice post-timeskip (teatime line: “What is justice? I’m not sure I know anymore”) and most blatantly in Catherine’s B when she tries to get him to understand why black and white ideals are a detriment in battle. Other than not wanting to kill children or protecting his (weaker?) friends (cough Bernadetta cough), Caspar doesn’t have a bigger goal he’s fighting for, which may well be why he’s drawn to people who do have that (to memory, Edelgard and Catherine) This might be one reason why he thinks in VW that despite all his training, he isn’t and may possibly never be as strong as his father, whose own sense of justice derives from protecting his men and following the Empire’s will, no matter what they order him to do. Almost like Catherine’s…

#ask #about: muse #// thanks for the ask!#// 5000 years later orz #// really good question though #// and something I expect to have to grapple with myself in a different way #unbalancing-act #// evidently I get long winded when I don't know haha #answered #headcanon

Winter Anime 2019 Part 4: That’s all, folks.

Over already? This is a pretty thin season with not a lot of shows, so it’s not that surprising that there’s not many good ones either. Still, a weak showing. Oh well, let’s get it over with. There were a few decent ones in the last batch.

Circlet Princess

What: Dimwitted schoolgirl is good at some vaguely defined virtual fighting sport, changes school based on it, finds out relevant club has been abolished. Forecast says: 5 member plot incoming.

❌ I think it’s already clear this show isn’t very ambitious, and not very well written either. A game adaptation at its laziest.

❌❌ Man, this girl is STUPID. What the hell.

❌ The rest of the cast are less stupid (which isn’t hard), but that just means they’re so forgettable they might as well not exist.

❌❌ It looks cheap, and by that I mean really really cheap. The character design is ISO standard anime and it’s mostly on model, but that’s as good as it gets. The animation just sucks. That’s a death sentence for an action/sports show with terrible characters.

Bermuda Triangle - Colorful Pastrale

What: Japanese Spongebob, as in cute mermaids. Doing things optional.

❌ To make this quick, this is almost exactly Pastel Memories, only every problem is just a little less extreme. It has fewer characters, it’s looking slightly better, there’s a tiny bit more going on, the setting is mildly more interesting. That still means it is:

❌❌ 1. A boring mess in which a handful of samey girls do nothing of much interest in a location that should be unique, but isn’t.

❌❌ 2. Conspicuously cheap. It even has the same sightline problems.

❌❌ 3. Featuring a character model sheet that is “off” even under the best circumstances. This time due to the very offputting decision to give everyone blobby triangular irises.

❌❌ Unlike Pastel Memories (which was an ad for a mobile game) this is an anime original, so it really has no excuse being this lame.

♎ I find it amusing that Pastel Palettes are providing the OP for an anime, and it’s not the one currently airing that they’re actually characters in.

Endro~!

What: Kiraralike comedy thing in a generic JRPG setting.

♎ Namori character designs, so it’s like Spyce in that it just seems like the Yuru Yuri cast cosplaying a genre. But hey, Namori character designs do look good.

❌ I’m not as done with generic JRPG settings as with generic isekai settings, but it’s still a real problem since the former is now a subset of the latter. Mildly making fun of it does not improve things much either.

✅ The tone is cutesy and pleasant. I find this much preferable to something like Mahoujin Guru Guru, which is pretty much the same thing but with abrasive, high-intensity slapstick instead.

✅ It’s backing that up with generally high-quality, agreeable pastel looks.

❌ Not being annoying is a start, but beyond that this seems very middle of the road and predictable. I don’t get much out of the genre “parody” and simply being cute is still not an unique selling point in anime.

Grimms Notes The Animation

What: Did someone say JRPG? This is a mobile one, vaguely based on fairy tales as the title implies.

✅ This universe runs on the idea that every NPC’s fate is controlled by a preset story they’re aware of. You could make a good story about that if you took it seriously. It even does that somewhat, but only to the degree that you’d expect from a throwaway sidequest in a moderately well-written JRPG.

❌ And the reason for that is that it has to make room for being a JRPG, of course. Read: It’s irritatingly mechanics- and combat-focused. Stuff like the characters changing form when in fights just seems overly complicated and adds nothing.

❌ Said combat looks competent, but not good enough to make up for detracting from what could have been an interesting setting. Merc Storia did this aspect far better (by usually not doing it at all).

❌ So it ends up being better than expected, but then that only amounts to a disappointment.

Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai / Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

What: Kaguya and Miyuki are in the student council of a prestigious school and HATE HATE HATE each other. Specifically, they hate the part where the other one won’t just finally admit their love.

✅ The joke here is that it’s operating on full intensity at all times, over the most simple matters. It’s pretty much Kaiji, only about dating - complete with hammy narrator. This is another one of those shows where I can’t say with certainty that it’s solid, but I had a blast during the first episode.

✅ Regarding Quintuplets, I made it clear that I love me some sparks in my romantic comedies. It doesn’t get much more explosive than this.

✅ The characters are comparable to Quints too: Smart scheming upstart vs. rich scheming ojou, with a simpleminded girl in the middle that ends up winning more often than not simply by not overdoing it.

✅ The visuals are just as over the top as the proceedings depicted. Occasionally a filter massacre, but mostly cool.

♎ The long-term viability of this show depend entirely on whether they can consistently come up with scenarios that work, which isn’t a given. Also, this is so intense it might become tiresome - I already felt some fatigue towards the end of the first episode. We’ll see, I guess.

Kakegurui ××

What: Some weirdos think they can crash the party at Hyakkaou with an intent to scare the daylights out of Yumeko and Midari, of all people. Let’s just say they were not as prepared as they thought.

✅ As you might have guessed by me watching the sequel, I liked Kakegurui. It has its problems, but if you’re down for some crazypants madness, this show delivers.

✅ This is one of the better episodes of it too, because it gets right into it and the game they play is dead simple. Kakegurui was never about smart moves or strong characters, so not having anything detract from our girls deriving the entirely wrong sort of pleasure from danger is a plus.

♎ Sadly, the OP is a step down (though still great) and the ED is simply an inferior, overcomplicated version of the magnificent original one. They seem to know this too, because they play the OP cut of Deal with the Devil in its entirety for a montage. The rest of the production is on par with the original though, so it’s fiiiine. Oh well.

❌ It got Netflix’d again and the subs situation is dire. Since this is one I actually like, I might have to wait for the official release.

Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai / The Magnificent Kotobuki

What: Piston-engined fighter plane pornography.

✅ This delivers where Girly Air Force failed: Close to zero exposition, the majority of the episode is just planes dogfighting with barely any talking either. And that part is executed really well. I think the plane startup sequence alone is as long as the total of Girly’s airtime.

✅ Guess what, it’s Tsutomu Mizushima, previously known for unbridled panzer (und girls) pornography, and boy can you tell. However, this cuts out a lot of GuP’s bullshit: A plane doesn’t have the cast of K-ON in it, it’s not over-the-top zany, and whatever this universe is, it can’t be as insipid as GuP’s. The classy milwank exists you guys, we found it.

✅✅ The music really helps here, sky pirates vs zeppelins just wouldn’t work without some classic swashbuckling orchestra background. Fat sound mixing on the dakka too. It’s great.

♎ Can’t really say much about the narrative because we kinda skipped that in this episode aside from the obvious, but Mizushima’s Shirobako collaborator Michiko Yokote is writing it, and that’s a good sign.

❌ Now we’re getting to the elephant in the room though: There’s no way the planes wouldn’t be CG in 2019, but the characters are CG too, and their animation is mediocre. Also, they did the KADO thing where they 2D-animated the side characters that aren’t important enough to model. This has the funny side effect that you can tell who’s going to die real soon by them looking better. It’s far from great, but probably a worthy tradeoff if the mechanical side is this extensive and also delivers.

✅ This is definitely not for everyone, since you have to have more than a casual appreciation for those magnificent girls in their flying machines. I do, though.

revisions

What: A chunk of Shibuya gets teleported to the dystopian future, local doomsday prepper gets handed a large robot because he’s special.

❌ A Goro Taniguchi joint being a poorly conceived scifi mess? Say it ain’t so! I especially dig the tryhard English jargon (mecha: “String Puppet”, monsters faction: “Revisions”, particular monster, I think?: “Civilian”, tacticool operetah: “Balancer”).

❌ Works very hard to characterize the main character, to the detriment of everyone else. A for effort, but you made an unlikeable asshole though.

❌ This is another full CG show, with the quality of the animation being curiously variable. Sometimes it’s well above average and sometimes it’s painful. There doesn’t seem to be much method to it.

✅ Tries to establish stakes by being mondo edgy and graphically murderizing some poor bystanders. It’s adorable.

❌ If you’re really jonesing for some mecha, you can watch all of this on Netflix right now. It’s not like you have any alte- wait, Egao no Daika has mecha too. Well there you go then. That’s a better show.

Chapter 19: A Phoenix Rises again

A few days later Azula and Mya camped outside Capital City and prepared to enter at dawn. But how without risking being thrown into the dungeons? Azula got off the horse.

Az: My whole tush is sore.

M: You’ll get used to it. Try this Yoga pose, it shall relax your strained muscles.

Az: My father has secret tunnels which lead everywhere in the palace. It might well be that he is in there...

M: I know an entry point... but we need a disguise...

Mya was unknown to the FireNation people. Nobody had seen her from near. But that was different for Azula. Mya went to the city and bought two large hats.

Ozai woke and was upset. He felt empty. He had no plan. Nothing to do. Nobody to talk to. He was a ghost. He left his chamber and for a brief moment considered facing Zuko in an Agni Kai to demand back the throne. Who had tried to kill him? Zuko? Some General? His enemies were plenty, but did he have friends? He had visited his followers incognito and many really wished for him to return. He thought about Azula, Amon and Elua. He once had been such a sweet boy like Zuko, but Azulon had beaten him into shape. Ozai mourned himself, his sad childhood and his loneliness. He missed Mya, Amon and Azula. But seeing Amon and Azula would remind him constantly of Myas death. Yet the thought hovered over him all the time and no amount of evading it would soften the pain.

After exiting his bedroom he took the secret passages to a tunnel on the side of the throne room. He peeped through a hole and saw Zuko sitting on the elevated throne. The fire was off. He decided to prank Zuko and flicked his finger. The flames shot up and Ozai smiled.

Zuko was talking to his Generals when suddenly the flames around him ignited. He was startled and jumped up. The Kiyoshi warriors came in and checked the whole room. No intruders. Zuko had heard the silly stories of Ozais ghost haunting the palace. If he was a ghost, he was dead for good and Zuko had one worry less to fret about. A short while later a congregation of Generals entered the throne room.

After the attack on Ozai and Mya the Generals had feared that the deal was off, but Amon kept his word and the trade between the worlds had been coordinated by him and Azula. He never mentioned Ozai or Mya though, even upon request.

In the meantime Earth King Kuei was increasingly dissatisfied with the peace accord. He finally realized that he had been sidelined by the Fire Nation and started assembling ground troops. The Dai Li had always managed trade and Kuei on his own without their counsel was inept to make responsible decisions. Furthermore some secret Dai Li agents were sabotaging his efforts. His people were dissatisfied and he needed a war to keep their minds engaged. There was also turmoil and rumours about Ozais return. The common people iconified and exploited Ozai as a marketing gag for all sorts of products. He was far more popular now than during his reign. People were simpleminded and craved a strong leader. Zuko was seen as weak and doubtful.

Zuko noticed that the generals were dissatisfied. They asked him to take a stand and to send troops to face the Earth Kingdom offensive. Zuko was torn. He was pondering over what to do when the fires ignited again. Ozai stepped out of the flames like an apparition.

O: It’s time to decide son, or the generals will decide for you.

Zuko jumped up from the throne aghast.

Z: Father! You’re alive!

O: You all seem surprised to see me. Let me assure you, I am not a ghost. I see at least a few happy faces among you. Let me see who is the most shocked of all is most likely the person hiring archers to kill me... Zuko was it you? General Zheng? General Sako? I will find out eventually.

Zuko was nervous. What did his father want?

Z: A strange way to visit me to barge in like this on a counsel meeting...? Tell me, what do you want?

O: Oh, I was watching you, always wondering if you sent the arrows... patricide runs in our family... You had the wardens torture me before, so why not go a step further. I will not hold this against you. I know how difficult it is to decide wisely as a Firelord and that you lack the confidence that I always had.

Z: Do you want to fight me?

O: Not unless I must. I would like to spend a few days here. I have some private matters to attend to. Generals, who ever tried to kill me will most probably try again.

One of the Generals, a young handsome man, with black hair and golden eyes mustered up all his courage:

G: Firelord Ozai, please take back the throne! You have many loyal followers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for your victory!

Ozai smiled. He closed his eyes and paused, before addressing the generals. His voice was menacing and cool:

O: And I, what am I to do then? Kill my son and my brother in order to take the throne back? Are you suggesting treason against the acting Firelord Zuko, General Wuhan?

The Generals face went pale.

Ozai looked at Zuko measuring him up.

O: How does Firelord Zuko treat insubordination and attempts at treason? Will he lash out like I used to? Will he fight him in an Agni Kai to gain superiority? Or will he be lenient and in return suffer a hit from a poisoned arrow? Will he toss Wuhan in a cold jail cell to have him tortured like his own father or banish him to the colonies? I don’t fear to fight my son, if need be I’ll die in flames as our greatest heroes have. Whatever you choose, son, it will create bad blood, uprisals and sectarianism... But please, for the sake of our nation, make a choice!

Z: Why did you really return?

O: Mya is dead. This is still my house and I needed a place to stay. As simple as that.

Z: Mya dead? Was it the poisoned arrow?

Ozai bitterly said:

O: No, a bomb in a city far away in another world. It all seems so distant, now that I am back. Iroh was so adamant that I wanted the throne back, he attacked me.

Zuko stared at Ozai, shocked.

O: Don‘t worry, son. He should be alright. Nothing a cup of tea could not fix. Now please have the servants ready my chamber. I am tired and I want to rest.

The Generals and Zuko were confused. Ozai looked at their blank faces.

O: What are you waiting for?

Zuko ordered the servants to comply with Ozais wishes. Ozai was vigilant. He was baiting himself out, attempting to draw the culprit out of the shadows.

Zuko then dismissed all Generals, also Wuhan who was surprised and relieved to get away without any repercussions.

****

Elua was cooking her chicken broth when somebody knocked at her door. She opened only to find two ladies with enormous hats standing in front of her door.

E: I don’t buy anything and I do not want to hear about your saviour, thanks.

She prepared to shut the door but Mya told her about their identities and that they needed her help.

An hour later the broth was eaten and all three women wore Elua's old clothes. Three old ladies. They packed baskets with cookies and wine and left for the gate of Caldera city. At that moment, a few hundred messenger birds left the palace and flew into the sky. Upon arrival at the gate, they pretended to be old alumnae of Master Shinsendos Firebending school who were on their way to their school reunion. The guards were overjoyed and let them in without a hassle. With this story they proceeded further to the stables. Mya checked the loose floor board. Ozais uniform was hidden, his royal clothes were missing, he had been here.

Ozai was sitting in his room at his desk reading letters from his supporters. They even sent fanmail with pictures of him painted by their kids. He cringed, but his inflated ego forbid him to destroy depictions of himself, so he filed them meticulously. There was a knock on the door. General Wuhan was outside and bid to enter.

W: I have come to ask your forgiveness, Mylord. I had in no means intended to offend your feelings. I heard today that the news from the front are bad. Earth Nation smashed our battalion and many died. You, Mylord are popular, and the idea of your formal return to power gains traction with the commonfolk. You are supported by the Fire priests and the council of sages. I know I am risking my life talking to you, please forgive my insubordination. Do with me what you want, but please, I am begging you, do something about our weak defense.

O: Wuhan, I despise traitors, you should know me better. You are young though and yet a general. How come?

W: I fought bravely, but I was also lucky.

O: Very modest of you to downplay your role in the siege of BaSingSe. So you are saying they all want me back. You were a boy during my first reign. You never experienced my rule... You show courage, coming to my doorstep unannounced. You remind me of myself in younger years. You are dismissed.

Wuhan left light heartedly. He had left a lasting impression on Ozai. A courageous young man, with golden eyes and a very delicious looking tush.

Ozai left hurriedly to the throne room. Zuko was sitting on the throne. Ozai did not want to use the front door like a commoner with requests, nor the side door like a servant. He decided to enter through another side entrance from the entry hall which the Generals usually took.

O: Son, can we talk in private?

Z: I don’t know what you want to talk about...

O: The war... Kuei is gaining traction. I am a bit... worried.

Z: A battle lost is not a war lost!

O: Let me command the army. I‘ll crush Earth Nation.

Z: Kuei has no clue, it‘s the Dai Li who are mourning their loss of importance. I will never allow you to command my troops, you will overthrow me.

O: I have no plans to fight you. But Wuhan’s tactic was just a taste of what is about to come.

Z: I cannot please everyone.

O: You need to please the right people.

Maybe the people should decide what path they want to take. If they back you, the generals can‘t do much.

Z: Those bloodthirsty ingrates who whine about cabbage price hikes and who put up that ugly statue of yours.

O: Very unflattering, I agree with you. They totally missed my perfect cheekbones and abs! But listen, if they vote for you, you’ll be democratically legitimated! The Generals will have no choice. Let’s create a two party system. They can choose your way or my way. They will choose and nobody will be left to blame but themselves if we fail.

Z: You would win the election... and I would again be in defeat.

O: I always thought you were the leader who cared about the people. Win their hearts. I can give them fancy parades, but you can give them meaning and a future. Let‘s compete and see who wins. The colonies will vote for you, so will all those who lost kin in the war. Some old folks will vote for me out of loyalty. It will confirm your regency.

Zuko thought about it and finally caved in. They would first let the Generals assemble and appoint them as small parliamentary chamber. The ongoing offensive demanded swift action. They should freely choose whom they vowed to follow and the losers would respect the decision. After that they would prepare for elections in Fire Nation and the colonies to create a parliamentary monarchy with the Fire Lord as Head of State.

Ozai summoned the generals. They seemed to fear Ozai who was standing next to Zuko, who was seated on the throne and looked small in comparison. Ozai feigned to be absentmindedly and casually flicking fire with his fingers, but everyone who knew him well saw that he was alert. Every inch of his body was ready to strike. Zuko was already sidelined. Suddenly there was a commotion and the guards notified them of turmoil outside the gates of Caldera city. The families of the fallen soldiers of the most recent clash demanded Zuko to step down. They had been notified by birds from the palace about Ozais return. Ozai couldn’t resist a smile. Zuko had to watch helplessly as Ozai summoned the generals and asked them to vote for either his or Zukos leadership. Only a few dared vote for Zuko. Within less than an hour Ozai had taken over the reign again.

Note

I couldn’t have said it better myself, you definitely hit the nail in terms of their positions if they battle. Ivan would go the defensive because he’s the only who knows how Gildarts maneuvers since their childhood...if left explored.. but I think the best way Ivan outwits him is more psychological, something personal and not counting illusions. Ivan will call out Gildarts for being a disappointment and a failure;

Ivan: “With all that magic power and wits, you rather spend all this time wasting drinking, prancing around women and going without a direction or purpose? My old father was a blind fool for thinking that you’d would replace him, no wonder Cornelia left you, for Fairy Tail’s so called “ace” you're afraid.

Gildarts:!!!!!!

Ivan: “I remember you once said that fear is not evil, it tells you what your weakness is right?”

Ivan: “It made it easier for you to say it to those simpleminded brats but you can’t say that to yourself, how pitiful.

Getting a lil overboard with this idea, but the point, I can fully agree with to say that these two might leave the battle in a draw but I think Ivan would leave a personal impact on Gildarts, and during their fight it might finally show some background character story for Gildarts and how it would change the story from here on.

In my mind, this fight is almost more personal touchy of both Ivan and Gildarts’s relationship but also how it affect the guild from here.

There’s so much left for me to say but I’m gonna leave my personal thought for now unless anyone wants to discuss, feel free!

Ivan vs Gildarts, the dream fight many wished would or should have happened. A lot of potential story and character plots could have been explored, how would you have handled it if happened?

Well, if it had happened, and we had seen it in canon, I would have LOVED it. xD Duh, what a question.... ;-)

But if I had to make it happen somehow, I am afraid the final result is some sort of draw.

Neither Gildarts nor Ivan should die at that point. They can do battle, sure, and it can be intense, too! But as interesting as their relationship* is, I don't think they were meant to have a final showdown.

Ivan should die after being confronted by Laxus, Makarov or the guild as a whole, without any of them making the clear final blow, more akin to nature ending his life in a twist of fate or so (falling off Cardia Cathedral and impaling himself or something stupid like that...)

Gildarts life ends in a completely unknown minor accident, somewhere far away, after being the (financial) pillar of Fairy Tail for decades. He keeps working till forever, then one day just leaves and never returns. Like he knew he was gonna make the final journey to his grave, like a big old elephant. (He'd leave a letter, though, and that's how everyone knows not to look for him).

Okay, but if they DID have a fight, neither would hold back.

Gildarts is emotionally very invested in this fight (possibly over Aurelia's death whom he considered a good friend, maybe over some other personal rivalries (Ivan might always have begrudged Gildarts for his better relationship with Makarov and maybe especially if he knew his father favoured Gildarts as new Master more then himself)) and tries to be as intimidating as possible. So Gildarts starts in the offensive while Ivan is the defence. And Ivan doesn't underestimate his opponent, so he's total 110% from the start. Of course Ivan will also attack and Gildarts must find ways to defend, but overall, the dynamic is Gildarts=Offence, Ivan=Defence or stated differently: Gildarts has a better, stronger reason to fight.

Gildarts would fight Ivan in order to protect his friends and family and in revenge over past injuries and grievances to OTHERS

Ivan would fight Gildarts JUST for himself, to demonstrate his superiority and to get back for his irrationally held grudges.

STILL, as I said, their fight won't be final. So either Gildarts just can't get to Ivan (and vice versa) and they must agree on a mutual draw... or one has to retreat out of whatever reason (Cana is in danger, or Ivan's actual target is escaping) or one God or other sends the Flood 2.0.

---------------------------

* I STILL only go from hear-say on this point! What relationship DO they have? When and where is Gildarts portraying his despise for Ivan? What did I miss? T_T

Boku No hero Academia Light Novel No.2 Translations

Chapter 1: Commence the Study Groups!

(そろそろの勉強会) Part 1

It’s the last Sunday of June, the day was clear and you could feel the hot weather approaching, but the day of the outing would feel a lot better. However, for Midoriya Izuku, he doesn’t look out the window at such weather, he was glued to the desk in his bedroom for the sake of his end of term test. Even though they say Yuuei’s hero department is the most famed in the country, they were still student’s with the duty to study. Just like any other normal school kid, studying for the normal school tests.

However, there was one thing that wasn’t normal, whatever was in his left hand that is...

His right hand was trying to solve a maths problem, while his left hand grasped onto a hand grip. Izuku was trying to figure out a maths formula in his head while still exercising with his hand grip.

A year ago, this would have been impossible. Meeting the All Might he’s always looked up to changed his life, for the sake of the quirk he has inherited he had to work harder to train his weak body. While being tasked to clean up the beach, he also had to revise for Yuuei’s entrance exam! At first it was hard for him to use both hands simultaneously for separate things, but as he progressed he got used to it. Once he collapsed from overworking but now its become a story he can laugh about.

“For the purpose of saving people, you must have power” Izuku thought to himself, taking in a deep breath he looks up at his All Might poster stretched across the wall. Maybe I should take a break and rest my left hand. The All might in the poster, the overly muscular body, smiling broadly.

desire, peace , fighting spirit, inspiration (t/n: this was really hard to translate for some reason, I had a hard time trying to figure words that wouldn’t make this seem weird)

All Might drew out Izuku’s motivation like a geyser, to become a hero he had always wanted he shouldn’t use up all his energy like this!

“Yoshh, let’s do this!” He turns over a page in his textbook.

The curriculum results were published and even though the class didn’t rank high, it didn’t make him feel uneasy. However, this time they will definitely achieve passing marks, why? Because whoever fails will not be allowed to attend the lodge training camp!

“I wonder if Kaminari and the rest are ok...” Izuku thought as he was trying to get into another question, suddenly his head is now filled with worries. He knew the penalties for failing, he remembers his classmates despair when they found out. Oh yeah, didn’t Yaoyorozu-san say she was going to tutor them? If the smartest Yaoyorozu is tutoring them, they’ll probably be ok, but he just remembered how stiff and awkward she can be. Izuku returned back to the revision on his desk, wishing “please let everyone attend the lodge camp!”

At the same time, Jirou Kyouka who felt the same worries as Izuku, together with Kaminari Denki and the gang, they arrived at the front of Yaoyorozu’s house.

“Wh-?! Here?!”

“You gotta be kidding right? Isn’t this the embassy?!” Kaminari and Sero muttered to each other with a dumbfounded look, but the map on Ojiro’s phone said this was the place.

“eh, this is the address we have to meet at...”

“SUPER FANCY!!!!!!” Ashido bluntly stated, they make their way towards the entrance still shocked. The five of them stood before a towering gate, they tilt their head back at the height of the magnificent structure, the gate continued onto the fence which was also the same height, it felt like it would carry on forever, they must be in a place of enlightenment right?

Coming from the nearest station, the five were on their way to Yaoyorozu’s home, it felt like it took forever, when you first notice the continuous walls/fence, you ask yourself first, what kind of interest must you have to live in such a building? They walked towards their destination with an uneasy feeling, despite that uneasiness Kaminari and Sero were still having an enjoyable conversation.

Anyways, the overwhelming fence and gate was more than enough, what if at this mansion they make Kyouka and the gang spies for another country?!

“Should we just call it quits for the day?” turn back now, for countermeasures.

Even if they don’t turn them into spies, “Shouldn’t we still just call it quits?” they thought they could turn back, but while they were fussing about leaving, the big gate opened.

“Kyouka-sama, Ashido-sama, Kaminari-sama, Sero-sama, Mashiro-sama, I welcome you all.” In front of the opened gate stood a slightly small man wearing formal clothes, this guy had to be atleast in his early 70′s, mixed with a gentle face and grey hair. However, the pin (t/n i’m guessing a yapyorozu family crescent or smth) stretched across his back gave them a youthful impression.

“y-yesss...” It is custom to answer the elderly even if they don’t call for you!

The old man smiled and his wrinkles creased at their response.

“Thank you for coming over, I am the Yaoyorozu’s family butler, Uchimura. Young lady Momo has been waiting for your arrival, please, this way.”

“y-yess...”

The five trailed behind Uchimura uncomfortably.

“Butler?! They’re really here? Butler?!

“If there are butlers, wouldn’t they have maids too?!” Ashido whispered in a low voice trying to suppress her excitement with Kaminari agreeing back also.

“Hey! You guys!” Kyouka tried to hush them at that time-

“Yes, we do” The butler who heard their conversation a smiled and answered them, both Ashido and Kaminari felt bad for having the butler hear their disrespectful conversation. However to be become a butler of such a large house, I’m sure you won’t be fazed by small things.

A forest huh? They thought as they pass a beautifully maintained garden, suddenly Kyouka and the gang felt overwhelmed again. They couldn’t really speak in this mansion, if they could just return to the gate, the outside, return back to Japan! This place was overwhelming with fancy western vibes.

“Welcome.” They were greeted by maids as they walked pass and into the halls. Kyouka could hear the small steps of a woman walking towards the hall they were in.

“Welcome! Welcome! Thank you for always looking after our Momo, I am Momo’s mother.”

“a-hello...” The smiling face of the Yaoyorozu adult made the five feel a little at ease.

“To think, that Momo has brought home this much friends! It makes me really happy!, Oh!...... You!” Kyouka instinctively looked at her clothes, Yaoyorozu mother was staring at her clothes, leather bracelets with studs, customised sharp neckline (t/n basically describing w/e Kyouka was wearing, I couldn’t really translate the rest). These are the things she selected herself

(....isn’t this kinda... weird?) She thought.

Yaoyorozu mother’s eyebrow drew a slight curve, Kyouka suddenly becomes slightly uncomfortable however she tried to cover it with a smile.

“Anyways, Momo is currently preparing the lecture hall, I will guide you there immediately.”

“Oh by the way.... old man, I’m-” Yaoyorozu mother spoke to the butler.

“Please enter here” and like that the five of them proceeded towards the lecture hall.

The five walked into a room calmly, while looking around at the interior, there were a variety of flowers and plants on the wallpaper and marble flooring, in the corridors there were paintings and ornaments they’ve probably seen somewhere before.

“I’ve never been but isn’t this Versailles Palace?!”

“I know right! I’ve never been also though.”

“I agree”

Dumbfounded and murmuring random stuff Kaminari and the gang, Kyouka also all agreed with it being Versailles Palace.

“As expected, this is Yaomomo, the young mistress!” exclaimed Ashido, Yayorozu mother turned her head towards Ashido’s words, Kyouka notices and becomes flustered.

She opens her mouth, “um!, Yaomomo being Yaomomo it’s not what you think, um.. it’s just kinda like Momo-san’s nickname.”

“We call Momo by her nickname because Yaomomo... it sounds like Yamamomo (t/n: idk what this is) which is kinda cute, I just wanted us to get along.”

“...So does that make Yaomomo’s mama, Yaomama?!”

“Yaomama.. my.. nickname? That makes me happy! Please call me Yaomama!”

“ye--s!” Because of the simpleminded proposal of Yaomama by Ashido, we can now see Yaoyorozu mother smiling and laughing from the bottom of her heart.

What if there’s a chance she hates these kinda clothes? The other guys don’t think she’s strange.

“Why do you look so down?” Kaminari’s voice reached her, Kyouka raised her head, even though he was a lame, dopey face, he can be pretty sharp sometimes.

“...s-shutup, it’s nothing, I was just thinking about how pretty the corridor is.”

“ah! I know right, during summer or something, wouldn’t it be cool to just roll down here, it’ll be cool.”

“...you can’t just roll down here...”

“Ah! why?!” Kaminari pulls the dopey face again, Kyouka lets out a small sigh, anyways, she shouldn’t be conscious of her clothing because today they’ve come to study!

“You! because our class rank is so low, you have to do your best!

“ah, don’t say that, don’ say that!... it’s up to everyone too, everything is dependent on Yaoyorozu sensei!”

“Let’s put our trust into Yaoyorozu sensei!”

“That’s why I said it’s everyone!”

Finally after waiting for a while, the five of them finally got into the lecture hall which was exceptionally vast and wide, to be honest that was to be expected.

“Momo, I’ve brought your friends.!

“Sorry everyone! Welcome, I was trying to figure out which reference book to use” The Yaoyorozu that was waiting in the lecture room wore her glasses like an actual teacher, Kaminari’s cheeks and eyes lit up, sparkingly, today will mark the day of stories to be told!

“Anyways, this is it for me, later on I shall bring in tea, Momo, give your best in teaching”

“Yes mother.”

The door shut as Yaoyorozu mother left, Kyouka was incredibly relieved, standing right behind Yaoyorozu how could she feel such a thing?

Yaoyorozu inhaled through her nose and called out to everyone.

“Shall we begin?”

“Yup!”

“Yes please”

“I’m all in your hands Yaoyorozu sensei!”

“My chances of attending the lodge camp is riding on your shoulders!”

“Just put your trust in me!” Everyone’s trust and good expectations struck Yaoyorozu with a ton of emotions, she trembles and tell them.

“Leave it up to me! I will meet everyone’s expectation!” And so, the study group commenced!

(t/n the next part switches to bakushima studying within the library, I will try to post this asap bc I lit love these two very much and I’m sure their studying time together is going to be really gritty and funny! I will post updates/link them to this post)

I have a fic request! I noticed after Ending B 9S gets really protective of 2B and tries to stand in front of her a few times during the assault mission. When you go in his room during the credits, he talks in a gentle voice, while showering 2B with power up items, money, and tells her to be careful. So, I have this headcanon that they had sex after Ending B and that's why he was acting like that toward her. Would you be willing to write another lewd fanfic of these two again? Thank you!

({Analog})

…

(Once again, I’m doing the dirty and this time I’m like, fuck it, I’m sin mother and this ship is mine to steer. No real attention was put on the “how” in this one, however. Androids have genitals now; deal with it.)

-Tumblr formatting legend: * = italics -

…

Her gloved fingers brushed along the side of his face, judging the reality of his existence by this simple set of light movements of leather against artificial skin. Her knuckles curled as they ran over his cheek, a finger tracing his chin and, after a moment of slight hesitation, following the shape of his lips. His shaking breath parted the plump skin, his cheeks lightly dusted with blush pink.

She realized that this moment was something he didn’t expect and wasn’t something she had planned. It was born of a spontaneous desire to assure that it really was him and not another formatted version she needed to learn to love again.

“2…B?” He finally ventured when her fingers finally came to rest against the shell of his neck. She looked down but only saw the blackness of his visor, not the deep, dark blue eyes his model type was equipped with. His voice caught, embarrassed.

“Yes?” She prodded. 9S adverted his gaze even though he couldn’t see her eyes behind her visor. She raised an eyebrow, inviting him to voice his thoughts.

“…I…um,” he took her hand in his own. He gripped her smaller, delicate yet deadly fist in his own as if debating allowing her to fight this internal war with him.

N-not now.*

“Thanks.” He gave her a soft smile, a smile she could could see past with no assistance.

She wasn’t going to push him, not now anyways. This wasn’t the time, time that was running short. At any moment, Command would give an order that would possibly divide them and she would never get this opportunity again.

So she ignored it and gently separated their hands, moving hers to press against his chest before leaning forward and bringing their lips together. The cool and firm skin yielded against hers, warm breath mixing as they each tested the boundaries of what they could do behind the closed door of the room the Resistance had given them. She felt the steady hum of his systems underneath her palms, growing in confidence with each beat before tugging that the buttons of his coat. 9S froze and swallowed, unsure of how he should react or use his hands as they rested uselessly at his sides.

He didn’t have to wait for long before his chest was exposed to her hands, which tugged urgently at his skintight undershirt. Her tongue pushed against his lips, looking for any sign of entry into his mouth as one hand slid up his back and entwined itself in his hair, nails pressing on his scalp.

She felt her pulse rate spike as they gave into the simpleminded desire coursing through their systems, blood pounding in her ears. A combat model, she shouldn’t feel this nervousness. Yes, she was bold and confident but that was in a situation where breaking the other person was perfectly acceptable and the desired goal. 9S wasn’t a person she wanted to hurt, even accidentally.

Gently, she pushed against him, causing him to rest on the bed, her palms on either side of his head. Their lips had came unglued during the transit; 2B panted, a small trail of saliva of unsure origin slicking the skin as she stared down at him. His cheeks and ears had become a shade of red that could only be described as “adorable”, his mouth just as lewdly askew as hers.

She stared down at him, attempting to gage his reaction to what had transpired before. Everything about him urged her on, begging her to keep going, including the obvious stiffness in his pants that was growing harder as movement aroused them both.

Still…she reached behind his head and undid the knot of his visor, pulling the obscuring black fabric from his eyes while doing the same to herself. His eyes, despite being artificial optics with wires and no soul behind them, were the most expressive part of him. One look into them told her everything and sealed the consent she needed.

Granted, she doubted that what she saw behind the thick veil of lust and desire was that look in his eyes she knew and feared. It was that look that was always followed by a swift betrayal in the form of a sword through his chest. He knew something and he wanted to tell her, but he was still searching for the right time and that wasn’t now, thank the God she still believed had abandoned her.

His coat and undershirt were urgently pulled off to silence her own thoughts on that terrifying subject. He couldn’t speak those words if his mouth was occupied with hers, his hands flush against her backside.

She could feel her own body heat rising, the fabric of her undergarments and clothes becoming too tight and heavy for her to bear. It felt similar to a buildup of reactor heat before the inevitable self destruction, her neither regions throbbing with sweltering, wet need.

“9S.” She separated their lips to gaze into his eyes again. He took the hint surprisingly well, but she didn’t doubt the label of “high end” attached to his model type. His logic systems worked far and above hers, able to solve these kind complexities when his own sheepishness finally died. He undid the near invisible buttons right at the side of her chest, the black fabric of her shirt coming loose before falling from her shoulders and arms and onto the ground. His thumbs trailed over her bare skin, tugging at the edges of her leotard to get to more of that smooth flesh he just wanted to feel*.

He visibly twitched when he felt her palm slide along his crotch, fingers grazing his member. One dragged against the damp tip, playing with him mercilessly as he panted uselessly against her mouth. “Ah…a…2B.” She cupped her hand around his length, the leather of her glove smooth and molding to his skin.

They moved against each other, losing clothing and inhibition. Underneath all the layers was bare skin, soft, peachy and a layer of untouched sensitivity. Other loosely regulated YoRHa members spoke in not-so-hushed tones about doing this very selfsame thing all the time around the Bunker, but 9S himself had never been privy to the practice. The way 2B moved for them though, her hands firmly planted on either side of his head and hips hovering above his crotch, broadcasted experience he couldn’t match. A tiny, jealous part of him wondered who else had the undeniable honor of witnessing her lewd and bare, the part also wondering what happened to them. He hadn’t even been inside her and he knew she felt as breathtaking as she looked when her eyes were low and her cheeks red with the effort of restrained sounds.

Keeping the theme of control firmly in her hands, she lowered herself onto him, hissing as she twisted the sheet in her fingers. His systems flushed with heat, his back arching at the sudden but welcome feeling that rushed through his nervous systems.

Who could possibly give this feeling up? After a moment, her hips began to rock against his before they became full thrusts, rapid exhales leaving their mouths in synchronized shallow breaths of air. What kind of idiot would let her go?

She had done this before. With him. Of course, he doesn’t remember, but she knows where he’s weak, the spots he didn’t like to be touched and the way he moved.

He hadn’t changed. They hadn’t wiped him away…and for that, she’s glad. It’s a small consolation prize for the suffering she will soon bring down onto him, pleasure before pain.

She wondered if it was worth it.

Inside, she was capable of burning him alive, smothering him in the greatest way possible with crushing, dominating force. Her slick muscles held him firm, wet, hot and…shit, he’s burning and his blood is boiling in his veins.*

He pushed against the bed, going against her weight to sit up with her in his lap, her head on his shoulder. She followed his lead, wrapping her legs around his back, tightly holding him flush to her. Fuck, it felt too good.* Her head throbbed, processors firing in overdrive as it all began to dull into one feeling of never wanting to stop*. If she didn’t stop…if they never stopped…

“Ngh…ah…ah.” His tongue fought a losing but heated battle with hers, warm saliva trailing down her lips. 9S moaned as she curved her back to allow for deeper penetration and closer contact between them. N-no way he was going to live through this. The way she rode him so desperately, so hungry for him and…well shit she was heavier than him and she wasn’t being gentle. If he broke his new body though, it was a hell of a way to go.

*Man, 21O is gonna be pissed…“how did you break your body again?” “I got fucked by a combat android and I learned that being on the bottom is dangerous to my health yet really awesome.”*

No way in hell he was going to tell anyone about this.

“Don't…don't…” She licked her lips and gasped for words. “Stop…thinking.”

*Just do me one favor please*, she wanted to beg. *Don’t do this to me again.*

Her nails dug into his skin, trails of red left in her wake. The pain was nothing compared to the all consuming pleasure, a mere inconvenience in the face of something he needed if he was going to be strong and…was he really going to tell her? He trusted her with his life, but his own mind was in shambles with what he had learned from digging where he had no right. Was he really going to doom her to the same fate? Was that fair?

“Stop thinking,” that’s what she had demanded.

Losing himself in her, in the feelings she drew out of him, was far better than the truth.

…

They had been called back to the Bunker and separated by circumstance, preparing the mission that would hopefully end the war. Adam and Eve had been destroyed, leaving the machine network venerable.

This was their chance, and yet *their chance had past. She came to his room one last time, the air heavy with knowledge and tension. His skin still smelled of her, his chest marked by thin cuts. It was fresh, the feeling still raw in his mind.

What could he say…? He was pathetic when it came to her. All he could do was give her a gift and words heavy with barely repressed affection and love.

Maybe…maybe when this fight was over, they could run from YoRHa no matter the outcome. They could escape together, become rouges and relocate where Command could never find them. He could research machines and she could fish and…and…

Was it…selfish? Was this what she wanted? Did she still want war or did she want the same peace he did? Was he only doing this for himself?

He had no time to answer. The mission came first.

Her hand lingered on his shoulder, as if she wanted to say something else, do something else, but nothing came to her.

“…Be careful, 9S.”

There it was, the frigid love he so hated. He wanted more warmth, more heat, more of the genuine person she was, not the soldier façade she put up.

“You too…2B.”

He would tell her. No matter the outcome, she deserved the truth.
