"I once crossed paths with a woman so stunning, it made me forget the dangers of the game. She was a wanted criminal, but her beauty could make you drop your guard and lose yourself in her eyes before she even made a move."

"I knew the stakes, but in that moment, it felt like the greatest gamble was letting her walk away."

Anything for you, my darling sister. You need only ask.

I genuinely love Kafka so very much, I enjoyed doing this, but it was a little challenging working with her assets, so if you'd like a touch up or a revision just let me know in another ask!

I also just genuinely enjoy writing little blurbs for each asset I create, and I like doing them in character HAHA!!

"I can't think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there's no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more."

幸福

而這樣的地方 最簡單的存在， 不是誰的城堡 更不是誰的墳， 是手中的鏡子 我看透的自己。

Happiness

And such a place is the simplest existence, not anyone's castle nor anyone's grave, but the mirror in my hand where I saw through myself.

Il faut retraduire Borges

Comme le montre la soi-disant « nouvelle » édition de la dernière traduction du recueil Le rapport de Brodie, la lecture de Jorge Luis Borges en France continue de pâtir d’une traduction qui fixe la réception du texte dans un académisme désuet. Il faut absolument le retraduire. Jorge Luis Borges (1984) Écrit par Federico Calle Jorda L’adjectif « borgésien » fait appel en français à un imaginaire…

I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.

- Franz Kafka

[aryaryxoxo]

One of the pieces of advice Vice Captain Soshiro Hoshina once gave Kafka was to never get too attached to anyone in the Defense Force.

“It’s going to numb the pain of losing a fellow soldier,” he had said. “You won’t be crushed when you see their dead body, soaked in blood.”

So, tell him why—Kafka thought, spoon paused halfway to his mouth—why is that same Vice Captain sitting beside—no, practically hovering over the quiet and soft-spoken operations officer during lunch? And why is he glaring at Kafka like he wants to throw him into the nearest Kaiju’s mouth?

“Isn’t she the one you talked to about how to use your transformation?” Reno asked from beside him, nudging his arm.

“Yeah… we talked a lot about Kaiju,” Kafka said, quickly shoveling a spoonful of rice into his mouth, hoping food would serve as a shield from the Vice Captain’s laser stare.

“I didn’t even know who she was,” Iharu added, casually eating a mountain of rice in one go.

Kikoru shot him a disgusted glare. “How can you not know your fellow officers?” she scolded.

Iharu started coughing, nearly choking. “She’s just so quiet!”

“That’s Okonogi’s assistant,” she added after a moment, eyes flicking toward the pair. “But I’m surprised she and the Vice Captain are close. I’ve never seen them talk before… and now they’re sitting that close?”

At the other table, Okonogi quietly tried to suppress her laughter, sipping her water with suspicious calm. She was thoroughly entertained by the bizarre scene unfolding before her. Who would’ve guessed the Vice Captain could be so... transparent?

He had told her earlier, "I'm not jealous."

And yet, here he was—hovering over her assistant, throwing daggers with his eyes at Kafka for merely having a conversation with the girl.

“He wanted my position . Now he wants my girl?!” Soshiro complained.

Soshiro Hoshina tried to keep people at arm’s length. He told himself it was for their safety. But once he got attached, it was all over—he’d keep them close, protect them fiercely, and heaven help anyone who looked at them the wrong way.

And yes—Soshiro Hoshina definitely got jealous.


And he wasn’t good at hiding it.

LEISURE TIME [2]

Blade brings you out for shopping!.

Author’s Note: I can’t believe I actually finished this because I need papa blade content so much. Anyway, this will be the last part of Leisure Time. Next, I wanted to make Dan Feng or Jing Yuan…, but the Dan Feng one will be most likely angst since my dude really left his child alone out there [bottom text].

Warnings/CW: Family content, the reader used she/her pronouns but only mentioned like 2-3 times so mostly gender neutral. Blade tries hard to be a father, family fluff, it’s just a sugar overdose, Blade dressing like a criminal while his bby dressed like a princess. Reader is a toddler/child around age 4-6, Kafka and SW are here but only for background characters. Blade is weak for his child. Icanthelpmakingitbladexdaughterreadersinceihavedaddyissues

"Hey"

"Hm?"

"You see that guy over there?"

"The one with black coat?"

"Don't you think he looks suspicious??"

"I think so…should we report him?"

"I don't know man…but he looks like a criminal, wearing sunglasses and a mask like that…huh?"

"Daddy!"

"W-what's that kid doing there??"

"–wait did that kid just call him daddy?"

The two guards who were gossiping suddenly come to a halt when they see you running towards Blade. They look mortified seeing a little kid literally bolting towards a man who looks like he escaped prison just 2 hours ago.

"Daddy! The shopkeeper gave me this! It's delicious, you should try it!" You jump in excitement, both hands holding something akin to dango while Blade crouches and opens his mask, and takes a bite of the food.

"Mmm…it's sweet and sticky" he commented, "you should brush your teeth after we get back–or your teeth will rot" 

You gasp, then nod obediently. Blade picks you up so he can walk to the next destination while you eat your snack. Passing the guards who were gossiping about him just a few minutes ago and shooting them a glare. 

The guards stay silent when Blade passes by them, avoiding eye contact.

"Do you think we will get into trouble if we report him?" One of them asks after the subject of their conversation at least 30 meters away from them.

"Yeah, for sure. Let's just ignore him for now…"

The two of you walk into the busy shopping district, the place is bustling with people. It was a semi-outdoor place where the roof was transparent, so people could enjoy walking without worrying about rain or heat.

You look around curiously, still chewing the snack without realizing the mess you made in your mouth. Blade has to stop for a bit to clean it with the wet tissue he always brings whenever the two of you are out. Many people take a glance and giggle, seeing a man dressed like a criminal wiping off the mouth of his child.

"I'm full, daddy" You hold up the remaining snack to your father, expecting him to eat the rest. Blade sighs, throwing the tissue to the trashcan and taking the leftover snack from your little hand all the while picking you up again back to his hold. 

"All right, fine" Blade bites into the food, and back walking down the shopping district, looking for the children's section.

And he knows he is at the right place when your eyes suddenly light up, getting excited seeing lots of toys getting displayed from each store you pass. You have never seen so many kinds of toys before! You unconsciously lean your body forward, trying to look more closely at the display toys to the point Blade has to hold you tighter so you won't fall. 

"Can we buy toys?Please?" You begged, giving him the best puppy eyes you could give. Blade looks at you with his same deadpan expression, it's just that he's screaming inside because he wants to take a photo of your puppy eyes so badly.

"Okay, which shop do you want to go to?" He finally asked. Your eyes gleam and start looking for a store with toys that really get your attention before pointing to one of the stores. "That one, Daddy!" You point your finger at the shop that has music boxes on one of their shelves. 

Blade nods and enters the shop you picked. There are quite a lot of wooden toys in this shop, and your eyes sparkle at the sight alone. You really like wooden toys for some reason, and everyone except you knows why. It’s just Blade refused to talk about it and let your mind wander on your own.

As he puts you down inside the store, you waste no time looking around eagerly, trying every new and interesting toy you find (with Blade’s help so you won’t accidentally break one). Before long, you find yourself engrossed in one of the music boxes. It has an intricate design and a variety of music sheets to be played, and the figurine is a little girl playing with a swan. You keep coming back to that specific music box even after roaming the store twice.

“Do you want that one?” Blade asks, and you nod eagerly, eyes still glued to the said music box. Blade knows once you have something that catches your eyes and attention, there’s nothing that can stop you from having it. A trait you inherited from him, which sometimes annoys him too while Kafka keeps teasing him about it.

At the cashier, you do a little jump, impatiently waiting for the cashier lady to wrap the music box before putting it into a bag. Blade takes the bag and gives it to you, telling you to be careful.

“Thank you, Daddy!” You chirped happily while receiving the bag carefully, looking inside it and smiling, can’t wait to unbox it at home!. The bag was a little too big for you, so when the two of you are out of the store, Blade takes the bag back from you before holding your hand to walk together.

You swing Blade's hand around along with yours, humming and giving out an occasional yelp of surprise whenever you see something interesting. Your father makes sure he holds your hand tight, but just enough to not hurt your little one. It wasn't until the two of you passed the food court that you stopped in your tracks. Blade looks over and calls your name, but your eyes are fixated on one of the stalls, a crepes stall. 

Blade knows exactly what you are going to do next. 

You tilt your head to him ever slowly, all the while putting on the most overkill puppy eyes you could muster to him.

He immediately averted his gaze, avoiding your pleading look and pretending to not see anything. He attempts to pull your hand and make you walk again, but you refuse, pulling off your hand from his hold, crouching and now sulking. 

"I want it!" You pout, not caring about passersby looking over. Blade sighs and now crouches in front of you, pulling his mask down and taking off his sunglasses to see you more clearly. 

"You already had too many sweets today, You'll have stomach ache if you eat more" 

You pout even more hearing his explanation, and when Blade is about to pick you up, you writhe and attempt to set yourself free from his hold to no avail. Your power is clearly no match to him and he easily picks you from the ground. You hit his shoulder a few times in upset, now giving him teary eyes.

"Please, Daddy?, Pleaaseeee?, I want to try it" You beg, whining and clasping your hands together. Blade sighs in defeat, looking back and forth between you and the crepes stall. 

"Fine, but you have to promise me to eat twice the amount of your veggies tonight" 

He looks at you with a serious face and you gasp. Twice the amount of your normal veggies!!, now that gets you doubting. But your desire to try that thin-looking food is so strong, that you close your eyes and nod vigorously, hoping you could eat the veggies tonight while Blade sighs again and walks towards the crepes stall.

After a few minutes of choosing flavors and you watching intently how the worker makes the crepes, you finally get to try the food!. You bite into the cream first, causing a mess in your mouth. It was delicious! You immediately went over and took another big bite, not giving your father a chance to wipe your mouth. 

"Is it good?" He asks, and you nod with a smile, mouth full of whipped cream and other toppings. "Just eat it slowly, your tummy will hurt if you eat too fast" Blade added, wiping off the cream around your mouth. While he waits, Blade decides to chat with Kafka and inform her about where he is, attaching your photo devouring the crepes. He cringed a bit at the mess, and the high possibility of him needing to finish the rest of it when you full, at least he was used to it already, at the beginning he always threw away his leftover food but now he just eat it without hesitation.

Kafka: Awww, cutie pie eating her snacks well.

Silverwolf: Damn that crepes look good, what crepes stall was it?

Blade: She needs to eat a double portion of her veggies tonight.

Kafka: haha, Bladie seems to act more like a strict parent now~

Blade: She got spoiled too much.

When he looks away from his phone, to his surprise, you are actually eating all of the crepes, currently licking your fingers for the excess cream. Blade immediately pulls out his pack of tissue and clean both your hands and mouth before pulling out your bottle of water and giving it to you.

“Drink”

You take the bottle from him and drink it vigorously, looking around as you wait for your father to finish cleaning and throwing away the trash.

“All right, we should go back now. You have to keep your promise of eating twice the amount of your veggies tonight, okay?” Blade warned you, and you nodded, raising one of your arms so he could pick you up from the chair. “Good girl”.

As he puts you safely in his arms, he can’t resist the urge to kiss your cheeks, slightly chubby and red after eating the crepes. So he does, kissing your soft cheeks and you laugh at his action, before giving him a kiss in return.

“Can i go and buy the crepes now?”

“Not yet, just a little bit more”

Silverwolf clicked her tongue in annoyance as she waited beside Kafka who was busy (secretly)  taking pictures of Blade and you exchanging kisses. She smiles so proudly at the results, before finally letting the gamer girl buy her crepes after the father and child pair is gone.

“Bladie has grown to be such a good father now~”

After arriving back home at the Stellaron Hunter base, you already fall asleep. Blade puts you to bed first, and when he is about to leave, he glances at the bag containing the music box. Well, he was just a tiny bit curious, so he decided to open it and see if it required to be assembled together.

Needless to say, he got too engrossed at building the music box, and accidentally building the entire thing. Blade then decides to put the finished music box back into the box and seal it again, and good to say you don’t suspect a thing when you wake up and finally get to open your new music box.

You spent a lot of time looking at it in awe, even finishing the two servings of your veggies without realizing it (Blade feeds you since your eyes are too glued to the music box).

“I want to build something like this too!” You exclaim, and Blade immediately feels bad for actually finishing building the whole thing by himself, so the next day he goes out again and buys another one with a different model this time, claiming that this one comes in many parts and you need to build it yourself, “unlike the one yesterday where it came finished”.

You are so excited, spending the whole day trying to assemble the new music box. Blade helps you too, helping you put the parts that need a lot of force to put be together. It was a bit frustrating, but you enjoyed it, even more so since your father is there to help you out. 

When it’s finished, you put it side by side together with the one from yesterday, enjoying your hard work before falling asleep because of the exhaustion.

It’ll be a little secret Blade keeps for himself. Well, maybe until you are old enough to finally realize it, but for now, he just keeps it for himself.

Learning To Be Human

This is an idea that I've had for a while now. If you don't like spiders then it might not be for ya. Let's get started!

The Hoshina Clan had a secret unlike any other. A long time ago, one of their ancestors married a very special woman. Her traits would begin to manifest in her descendants throughout different generations.

Then came a 300 year absence of this inheritance for the Hoshina Clan. She was soon forgotten by everyone and became a faceless ghost in history. No one had been ready when her mark resurfaced nor the level it came at.

There is a forest where the clan now hides their shame. Nobody knew the truth and were too afraid or apathetic to learn it. It continued to remain like this for over two decades. Yet like any other secret, it would only be a matter of time before he got free.

30 days were what was needed to find the right path to escape. One thing about human nature is how persist they can be with the perfect goal. Even if the road ahead was littered by obstacles.

It was the determination of a particular man that guided him through the forbidden forest. Straight into the spider's lair where his prize would be waiting alongside an additional request. Yet the spider didn't expect just how special this rescuer really is.

Or that history will repeat itself. Like with his forgotten ancestor, he would meet a man who'll truly cherish him. A love that was forgotten by the passage of time shall be reborn once more.

When a man named Kafka Hibino met the Tsuchigumo known as Soshiro Hoshina and taught him how to be human.

I figured it was certain Vice Captain's time for a mythological makeover. For those wondering, his ancestor was indeed a Jorōgumo, a yokai often depicted with the top half of a human woman and spider bottom half. Tsuchigumo is the male equivalent but their portrayal varies a lot more.

I'll be making an in depth page on him like Siren Kafka. You just need to know for now is that his normal form is a genderbent Jorōgumo. His spider bottom half is based on the Lala Barina from Monster Hunter since there wasn't a real world spider which would suit him.

For how Kafka got into this situation, he's working as a part time delivery driver to earn some extra money. This is to pay for his father's life saving treatment. So he would take a mysterious 30 day challenge if it was gonna help him save his dad.

This challenge is to deliver 30 packages in the span of 30 days. 1 package has to be delivered at a certain point in the forest. The distance would get longer until reaching Soshiro's nest so to speak. Why do this?

It's because the forest is heavily monitored with guards ready to apprehend intruders. However the pay is worth it, their client is transparent about what they're carrying, the risks, and the massive paycheck at the finish line. Kafka is the eighth person to not only try but succeed.

The route they took would be what Soshiro follows to escape. All the packages are items needed for once he was free. It was meant to be a solo trip but our favorite himbo threw that out the window.

Kafka essentially takes him in as a roommate. Treating Soshiro like a person instead of a burden or curse. He is obviously going house hunting since a small apartment wouldn't be perfect for one man and his 17 ft Tsuchigumo friend.

Until then, our loveable himbo makes sure his new friend is comfortable. Whether exploring the city by night or taking secret trips in the company van during the day. The two slowly fall in love over time, something that steadily affects them both. Although the change for Soshiro is more physical to put it simply.

Meanwhile the Hoshina Clan don't know that their secret is free. Until the Tsuchigumo's father goes to check in on him. And horror sinks in as his son is nowhere to be found.

Under the cut is the image of the Lala Barina for those curious alongside some depictions of Tsuchigumo/Jorōgumo.
