temptation

i lowkey have too many notes to write down properly KDFHKDS but ill write them down for Future Cele so i can read it later and be like omggg past cele ur so fun and interesting

in general, the more "color" the scenes have, the closer it is to "real life" as opposed to the muted/hushed winter blues of maruki's reality

i.e. the dark frames w akira smiling and the very last panel are when reality sinks in: first for akira, then for goro

by the way this is long winter au but sumire is still brainwashed. this also works for canonverse but i just had long winter au in mind:o

youve heard of laundry and taxes now get ready for coffee and pastries

in every panel, akira is smiling! :) and goro is very much not smiling.

intentionally his face is hidden in the last 2 pages so its unclear whether it's the "ideal reality" already (akira/goro's daydreams/wants/desires), or if goro is still fighting akira on making sure he picks the right choice

the smoke from the first page kinda leads into the 3rd page omfg COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL BUT REALLY COOL LMAOOO

that's nameless and belladonna in jazz jin!!! i love them. I LOVETHEM. i miss them so bad is it obvious

the cafe is loosely based off of caffe strada @ uc berkeley LMAO. my parents used to take me there a lot as a little kid so that's the first cafe i think of when i imagine one. its like right on the streetside, basically on the sidewalk, so its very bustling and people are always walking by... probably a little disconcerting to see everyones summery bright smiles despite the bitter cold and snow

in long winter AU, the Ideal Reality starts before 1/1 so yeah they get to see the new years fireworks together (or something)

also intentional that they wear the same winter outfits in the whole comic although it Probably does not take place at the same time. in maruki's snowglobe, time seems frozen in place... but akira and goro are both acutely aware that the sands are running thru QUICK

goro's frustrated expression on page 3 is one also of disdain: "don't speak FOR me you fucking imbecile" type of expression.

goro, who's never lived a normal life and therefore doesn't know much abt "normalcy" nor really actively seeks it. this 3rd semester is basically purgatory for him and he doesn't care to try and go through the motions the way akira does. akira what do YOU know about the type of "normalcy" i deserve? how do YOU know if i "deserve" that?

im thinking that this is a naive akira who is mostly set on taking the deal because he feels hopeless... seeing all his friends with good happy lives while goro and himself are alive and miserable and shouldering the weight of the world during the horror of long winter......

oh but if he takes the deal they could all be good and alive and happy!!!.... and goro knows this. i feel like in any other universe (i.e. akira is 100% certain on not taking the deal and goro knows this) then goro would be happy and carefree to do these little indulgences for himself and akira's sake, to just enjoy the snowglobe world while it exists.

but this goro is discontent. he sees how akira is enjoying the snowglobe and knows maruki is depending on this. goro has to be the one to remind akira that none of this is his to keep........ in this fucked up world, routine is dangerous. becoming comfortable is dangerous. they cannot keep any of this.

on that note, goro says "i hate you" in a halfhearted sort of way (it's not true and akira knows that.) but he's trying to think of a way that he can dissuade akira from picking the wrong choice.....

and i think the thing is, goro thinks all of this, but he still falls into the rhythm of routine with akira anyway. in a way, goro feels hopeless too.

all of this is maruki's doing........ paralyzed by the inability to choose... whatever you do, you lose. goro needs to hold akira at arm's length so the stupid sentimental fool doesn't get too attached and falls into the wrong universe. akira needs to make a concentrated effort to detach himself from goro even though he wants the simplest thing in the world: just one more unremarkable day with him. it's lose-lose..........,

also i liked drawing the tentacles in the last pic the freaking blue lines on them were SO satisfying to draw

edit: also the last page: the blood flooding the panel….. the idea of the ideal world being built off of the blood and sweat and tears and bodies of the people who could have been. of those lost in the actualization, of those destroyed, of those stitched together and brought back to life. all just for a little false happiness. goro sees it but akira doesn’t, and it’s a grim sight.

The Lying Fox is filled with a Love free of Lies

▪︎ Harrison's 3rd Birthday

This is a fan translation so please don't expect it to be 100% accurate. Creative liberties have been taken. All content belongs to Cybird. Reblogs are appreciated but do not repost. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

My boyfriend, Harrison Gray, is a cursed, lying fox.

Because he can see through lies, any secret or surprise gets found out right away.

Even so, every year on his birthday, I want try to surprise him somehow.

I thought about it for a whole month, and finally, it hit me.

If he’s going to find out anyway, I just won’t hide it.

Kate: Happy birthday, Harry! Here, your present!

Harrison: …Again?

I called out to Harry from behind as he was walking down the hallway and held out the present I’d been carrying.

He gave a small sigh, smiling awkwardly, clearly a little embarrassed.

Harrison: I’ve told you a hundred times, my birthday’s not until later. You know that, right?

Kate: Of course I do. There’s no way I’d forget my boyfriend’s birthday.

Harrison: This is the third present I’ve gotten from you, you know…

Seeing me beaming at him, Harry let out a sigh as if to say “good grief,” but… he looked kind of happy.

After getting the idea of not hiding it, I’d been giving him presents non-stop for about a week now.

It started with small sweets, then the book he’d been wanting, and even new clothes…

Every time we met, I handed him another gift.

And every time, Harry would look puzzled, but still thank me all the same.

Harrison: Thanks… So, what exactly are you plotting this year?

His mint-colored eyes locked onto mine, trying to read my true intentions.

But this year, I don’t have a single thing to hide.

Kate: I just thought I’d keep giving you presents until I’m satisfied.

Harrison: Huh?

He looked at me in surprise, clearly caught off guard.

I gently tapped the ribbon on the present and smiled.

Kate: I just thought… I’d try putting my feelings for you into something tangible.

When I walk through town, I always catch sight of things he might like.

I stop in front of clothes that would suit him.

There’s so much I want to talk to him about—he’s become a part of my everyday life in so many little ways.

So I came up with a plan to show him how much he means to me: keep showering him with presents until his actual birthday.

Harry let out a soft laugh, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and gently patted my head.

Harrison: I have no idea how you ended up with that plan, but… you seem to be enjoying yourself, so I’ll let it slide.

(I’m sure he already knows how I feel, even without all this.)

Even so, every time I hand him a gift, he smiles with that slightly embarrassed look I love.

I wanted to see more of that face so I even asked Crown for help.

Kate: Today’s present is from Liam!

Three days before his birthday, I visited Harry’s room and handed him a gift Liam had entrusted to me.

He sat on the bed, staring intently at the board game he’d just unwrapped.

Harrison: ‘Happy birthday! You said this looked fun the other day, so I got it for you. Try playing it together!’

He read the message card from Liam out loud, a soft smile forming on his face.

Harrison: Well, he did say we should play… might as well give it a try.

Kate: Okay!

The board game Liam bought was simple: roll the dice, move your piece, and race to the goal.

There were also cards you could use to interfere with your opponent.

So while it was mostly luck-based, it had just enough strategy to get competitive.

But...

(I lost again…!)

No matter how many times we played, Harry’s clever use of interference cards kept me losing every single match.

Kate: How did I lose to someone who kept rolling ones...?

Harrison: Even with worse luck than you, I used the sabotage cards way better.

He smirked triumphantly, waving one of the interference cards between his fingers.

Kate: Actually… I was with Liam when he bought the game. We talked about it.

Kate: We thought maybe with this game, we could finally beat you.

Harrison: Hmm...

He suddenly set the cards aside, reached out, and gently lifted my chin to make me look up at him.

Harrison: I heard you and Liam went out together. I get that you wanted it to be a surprise.

Harrison: But I don’t like being the only one left out…

Kate: Mm—

He bit my lip softly, teasingly, and smirked.

Harrison: Punishment.

With a chuckle, he pulled me down with him onto the bed.

Hoshina Soshiro with a Shinobu like! reader🦋

🦋Synopsis: Amongst the 3rd Division Officers lies one of the JAKDF's most unique fighter's--a swordswoman who fights kaiju with poison.

mitsuri! reader

🦋Tags: shinobu! reader, kny crossover, friends to pining, hoshina soshiro x reader, mostly fluff with slight angst in beginning and end, fem! reader, no beta we die like kanae

“If my combat level was just a bit higher, could I have killed that kaiju?”

That was the thought that rang through your head for years, from the moment you held your dying sister in your hands, to the times where you found yourself alone in your research lab, craning a vial of poison between your fingers.

The world’s first anti-kaiju poison.

You really didn’t know how exactly you qualified enough for the Defense Force. When you enrolled with your sister, you figured that she’d be the only one eligible to enter. Your body was smaller, and your combat power was low. You could barely wield a gun properly.

But throughout your weaknesses lies your hidden strength. You were exceptionally intelligent, using your ingenuity to focus your energy on other aspects of yourself you were keen on.

Despite your blatant hatred of them, you studied kaiju immensely, and turned to insects amongst other creatures as a base of study. Many, many kaiju shared similarities with a common animal counterpart. Science never lied, and if there was one way you could make up for your lack of manpower, it was your understanding. There were things you could do.

Your captain started to notice how intuitive you were–eventually landing you a spot in the research team. 

You were content on not being dispatched or not being in the front lines as much, taking the opportunity you had gratefully nonetheless. You were still part of the action, and you got to observe specimens more closely. You even made friends with another officer, Hoshina Soshiro.

Hoshina and you had a unique bond, one riddled with understanding and mutual respect. Hell, the two of you go back a long way–you were actually batchmates. He was there when you got frustrated over your low combat scores after your shooting assessment, your older sister sporting a much kinder smile in contrast to your fuming face. 

(He’s a bit reminded of himself and his brother)

He understands that feeling of being underestimated, of being swept under the rug. He knows most about how your small size can get under your skin. He shares that frustration of not being enough, not with a gun. Not with what the Defense Force expects of the two of you. 

The two of you became fast comrades in arms, as you came to understand Hoshina’s own battles throughout his entire life. You encouraged each other to move forward, even vouching for his swordsmanship.

Similarly, if it weren’t for Hoshina noticing how nimble and swift you were, you probably wouldn’t have believed in your abilities a lot sooner. Although your combat level for shooting was low, you were definitely exceptional in terms of maneuvers. 

Though Hoshina pushed himself to further be recognized for his talents and exceptional skill, something you actively encouraged, you initially stood in the backlines with your much smaller role. You were content with being behind your sister and everyone else, even as you secretly envied them. Feeling so much envy over how much bigger and stronger everyone’s backs were as they moved forward, that it made your chest hurt sometimes. 

But when you lost your sister, everything changed.

Hoshina saw how it broke you. You were always quite temperamental–brash to him, even. Always so hot headed in contrast to your sister. But now, your anger has gone cold. Your hatred for kaiju turned into prickling ice, and on the times Hoshina caught you slipping off your facade, your immense hatred was so strong that the veins in your face seemed close to popping.

your resolve changed. You were to fight, to put your life on the line in any way you could. You threw yourself in your research, and for a certain period of time, only Hoshina was able to get through to you.

Then, one day, you emerged from your lab with something that could change the world..

You held in your hands the world’s first lethal anti kaiju poison. And you had every intention to test it out yourself. You had thrown yourself into the field, implementing an entirely new outlet of kaiju extermination all by yourself. For that, you were admirable.

And as kaiju poison was still a very new and experimental invention—your invention—you were the only front liner allowed to wield it.

You spent a great deal of time honing your skills with Hoshina–if you were to fight on the frontlines with this poison as your main weapon, then you were going to do it right. With half the physical strength your fellow officers had, you’d train four times as hard to make up for it. And if there was no stopping you, then Hoshina swore that he’d be there every step of the way, just as you did for him.

Your style of fighting was unique amongst the Defense Force, your high agility and field expertise a key cornerstone in your combat style. Where your combat level in gunmanship was low, similar to Hoshina, you held potential with swordsmanship. 

Although you were aggrieved over your physique yet again being a hindrance (you just couldn’t compare your swinging strength to Hoshina’s), you were particularly adept in delivering forward thrusts and piercing motions. Perfect for injecting poison.

It fits you, Hoshina notes. You were never one for brute force.

The man always had a kick seeing the flabbergasted faces of the new recruits during their first time seeing you on the field. It’s something he looks forward to with a certain pride.

Afterall, you‘ve been with each other since the very beginning. When the Defense Force told you both to just quit. When the both of you just kept biting back, fighting for a spot to prove your existence. When you looked at him with so much pride in your eyes, congratulating him for securing his spot as vice captain. When he attached himself to your hip even in your lab, up until being the person standing right next to you when you received honors as well as your promotion.

Though you and Hoshina fought valiantly for your own battles, the other was always there to push the other forward when things felt too stifling.

So he couldn’t help but burst out the biggest smiles whenever he hears that you’re joining the frontlines on a mission with him again—this time, it would be your first mission with the newbies.

It was a silent night before a swarm of spider-like yoju invaded a part of the city, opting for an immediate dispatch of the 3rd Division. Whilst Captain Ashiro was to deal with the Honju, the many, many hordes of yoju required quite a bit of manpower in the frontlines due to its sheer numbers.

That was how Reno and Iharu found themselves cornered, the spider yoju proving to be a much trickier threat than expected. The darkness proved to be another hurdle—it made the dark colored yoju harder to spot. If they didn’t act fast, the swarm would overtake them…

“Iharu! I’ll fire rounds and give you cover! You hurry and call backup!” Reno keeps his shots steady, keeping the horde at bay.

Iharu immediately quips back, firing his own gun. “Hah?! No way am I leaving you—ugh!” He winces, narrowly dodging an attack. Things weren’t looking good, the swarm was imminent.

“HURRY, IHARU! WE’LL BOTH HAVE A BETTER CHANCE WITH REINFORCEMENTS!”

“—Oh my, so you’re the one who’s been firing freeze rounds.”

The two boys froze, goosebumps forming on Reno's skin in particular as the boy felt a sudden presence already by his side. Who— when did you—?!

With as little as a blink of an eye passing, the two boys watched with wide eyes as you nimbly dodged a group of spiders heading your way, as if you fluttered through the air.

Flabbergasted, Reno and Iharu watched as you made it through the infested street in record time, not letting a single yoju touch you. “So fast!”

“Heads up boys,” Hoshina chuckles, speaking into the comms. You had made it to Ichikawa’s position. “Watch your superior closely.”

You stayed so calm and collected, even when the situation seemed dire. Your presence on the battlefield was admirable. “Yoju behavior confirmed. Despite resembling arachnids, every cluster consists of a head yoju similar to the behavior of social insects.” You calmly spoke into your comms, withdrawing your sword. “Prioritize on taking out the mother.”

Reno couldn’t help but marvel at your sword—it was in a shape that he’d never seen before. Were you like the vice captain? But there was no way you could slash through anything with that…

Iharu’s eyes widened as a stray spider tried to sneak up behind you, promptly yelling at you. “WATCH OUT!”

Mid sentence, Iharu realizes that you had already lept to the air once again, and in the blink of an eye with unfathomable speed, you shifted through the yoju, leaving stinging pierces through the hoard. 

“Butterfly Dance: Caprice.”

The two boys watched on in awe. It all happened so fast—but wait, none of the kaiju’s bodies or limbs seem severed?

It was silent, Reno and Iharu still catching their breaths as they scanned the vicinity. The kaiju were intact, but they weren’t moving. “Eliminating a kaiju doesn’t necessarily mean shooting or slashing it down.”

Your voice dropped to a sudden chill. “…Because there are swordswomen like me who use poison.”

As you finished your sentence, the two boys watched in awe as all of the yoju you hit crumbled to the ground, writhing in pain as their bodies shriveled. Then, they all dropped dead. The danger zone had been cleared.

Reno and Iharu watched as you spun your sword in circles, cleaning off the blood from the yoju before moving to face them. “Defense Force Division 3 Head of Research—(L/N) (Y/N),” you smiled, finally introducing yourself. “It’s nice to meet you, new recruits.”

You earned a place for yourself right alongside Hoshina as another remarkable swordsman in the 3rd Division. Your contributions to kaiju warfare were not only quickly making waves, but beckoning your presence in the field of bioweapons. 

To be frank, it was a bit daunting, but if it gave you any chance to get closer to vanquishing the kaiju, you’d keep working hard.

Nowadays, only Hoshina knows of your prior disposition before your jovial, more easygoing front today. How you had morphed a new smile and attitude, akin to your sister’s. According to Hoshina, although your face was tranquil and soft, your eyes held full bloodlust, a desire of vengeance. A show of your actual temperament.

The only person you’ve really let your guard down around since losing your sister was him and him alone. He’s your closest confidant. 

In addition to being the head of research, you oversaw the medical bay of the 3rd Division sometimes. After all, you did also carry medical expertise.

Perhaps the motivation behind that was from your sense of responsibility, as well as this small tug in your head that tells you to take good care of the division Hoshina was entrusted with.

Despite your kindhearted demeanor however, everyone knows not to trifle with you, especially when it comes to medical manners. No one under the 3rd Division has ever “forced themselves” to train before being fully healed ever since you started overseeing them.

Mina Ashiro herself testified to it. “Never again,” she states, not after experiencing your temper.

Well, whatever keeps the division healthy!

Hoshina enjoys crashing into your lab from time to time. He’s your most frequent visitor, to the point where you have a mug and some throw pillows on the couch reserved for him. He was like a cat going in and out.

“(Y/N)~” “Everywhere I go, I hear his voice.” “Oi, I’m right here.”

"..." When he feels your aura darken, he immediately shuts up and sits politely.

“(Y/N)~~ let’s go outside and train.” “It’s raining.” “Then let’s train inside.” 

No matter how naggy and clingy he became however, you always keep him close. Because that’s how he shows how he cares. 

“I know you’re there–” You don’t turn around from your seat, before a cold sensation on your cheek elicits a gasp out your mouth and forces you to turn back. You’re met with a bag filled with some warm takeout, and two cans of coffee.

Balancing everything on his hands was Hoshina Soshiro, grinning all the while. Your expression softens. “--Soshiro.”

“Missed you at lunch,” he starts. “Pity. All the new recruits were asking about you. guess I have you all to myself right now though.” You don’t know if he’s joking or not, but his tone shifted a bit into territory that felt more intimate.

These were really small efforts from Hoshina that you knew all too well, making sure you didn’t hole yourself up in your lab. And you always appreciate him and all he's done. 

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. You meeting Kafka as Kaiju No. 8 did NOT go smoothly.

Your strong hatred for kaiju ran deep, and Hoshina knew that. Your entire life’s work revolved around that. So when the entire debacle with Kafka happened while you were off base during the attack, Hoshina mentally prepared himself for the havoc that was to come.

The definition of “Don’t freak out when I tell you, but……”

Spoiler, of course you found out. And quick. You were the 3rd Division’s head of research who specialized in kaijus–of course you would know. In fact, On your rush to the 3rd Division’s base, you were immediately ushered to study him in captivity. 

Like that was a good impression you’d give to someone who developed the world’s first and most lethal kaiju poison!

“(Y/N),” Hoshina calls out to you, throwing formalities aside. His eyes shifted to your hands, seeing your knuckles grow white, veins visible. “I know what you’re thinking.”

Calm down. “--Soshiro.” You replied, coldly. Hoshina holds a breath at that. He knew you would let your logic and rational thought prevail, but the hatred in you ran so deep, you could slip into a near constant state of anger if you let it get to you.

A new sensation enters your hand. It’s Soshiro’s, you realize, tugging on your own as if to ground you. He hopes it helps bring you back to reality. “I’m here–the 3rd Division is. We all wouldn’t be here if he wasn’t on our side. He saved us, (Y/N).” His gaze and yours meet. “He saved me.”

Luckily (and very thankfully, Hoshina would add on), you grew to become more understanding of Kafka’s disposition, and set aside your antagonistic views as you slowly opened your heart. You even properly thanked him for protecting the 3rd Division.

In fact, you’re quite compassionate with the man now. You check up on Kafka as often as you could, even providing him the fastest updates of any developments you had on his case. He’s also a great talker, you note, and the two of you even start doing catch up sessions over whatever recent developments have happened over tea whenever it was time for his check ups. 

Hoshina feels a bit jealous that he’s no longer the only token visitor of your lab, not that he’ll ever admit it.

With the stakes of no. 9 rising, you knew that the situation would only get more and more dire. You’ve been getting busier days both in and out of the lab, studying samples of the recent high magnitude specimens and observing any abnormalities in kaiju behavior. 

The hypothesis and predictions you’ve marked up however, don’t sound an ounce reassuring. A high class disaster seemed imminent, and when the time comes, you fear that your poison might not be enough.

Not with your sword alone, at least.

On one particular late night in your lab, you glance towards Hoshina. For once, the two of you were silent. You had finished for the night, whilst Hoshina probably popped in to check on you after a midnight session of image training. No kaiju attacks, no sirens, just the night sky ever present through your large windows. “Soshiro,” your voice immediately catches his attention, his full focus now on you.  “Could you promise me something?” 

“Should there be a kaiju–a strong one, and we aren’t able to defeat it,” his eyes widened, the grin on his face gone. “Could you finish the job?”

You let your words stay in the air, your eyes long downturned to the research papers on your desk. You escaped his distraught gaze, attempting to focus on the reports strewn about before they fly out of your vision, Soshiro’s entire being clouding your senses in their place.

The sight of his deep maroon irises caught your breath, and you quickly realized that Soshiro is being completely serious with you right now. He let out a silent plea, with both his eyes and his soul. “Please. Please don’t say that with that face.”

That night, as he held you close, you’re both reminded of the bond that ran tight between the two of you, a bond so strong after everything that you’ve been through together. Something that was forged through pain and joy alike. An innate force that was proof of how the two of you had become so important to each other. It spoke of the same thing,

“I can’t afford to lose you/I can’t afford to lose you too.”

--

A/N: Whew... thank you to those who enjoyed my mitsuri post !!!! mitsuri and shinobu are my absolute favs in kny, and it was rlly fun to write them into kaiju no. 8--i'd love to do more in the future.

Worked out my idea of the descending rings of Hell in my hashbrown motel rewrite/Hotel Purgatorium!! There’s a transcript under the cut!

I reworked the idea of “sinners only ending up in pride” to be that sinners can end up in other rings, but they get worse and worse as they go down as their crimes in life/punishments get worse. They’re confined to the ring they’re sentenced to and can’t leave, but if a sinner from a higher ring attempts to go down and come back up, they become instantly corrupted and lose their soul as they become a mindless monster. Like how oceanic pressure gives you the bends??? (Also, Most sinners wind up in pride because as it turns out, pride is the root of most of humanity’s sin.)

Transcript! ↓ I based the ideas loosely off of hverse and mostly off of Dante’s inferno

Pride- 1st Layer

- ruled by Lucifer

- A noisy smoggy cityscape, overcrowded and full of the worst parts of humanity + civilization over the last few centuries. Most souls end up here!

Lust- 2nd Layer

- ruled by Asmodeus

- A “winter wonderland,” but more befitting of “bleak ice kingdom.” Cold, bitter, and only warm within buildings made by Hellborns. Very Blustery. Pun not intended.

Gluttony- 3rd Layer

- ruled by Beelzebub

- An oppressively humid, sticky rainforest infested with insects and torrential hot rain.

Greed- 4th Layer

- ruled by Mammon

- Rocky, Craggy, Rough. A barren mountainous “mining town” where nothing grows and shiny minerals aplenty drive sinners mad.

Envy- 5th Layer

- ruled by Leviathan

- The snow runoff from Lust is melted down into a deep dark pressured ocean with bioluminescent and unusual hellborns.

Sloth- 6th Layer

- ruled by Belphegor

- Made of obsidian, fungus and quicksand. Everything moves slowly, fog lines the streets. Sinners float along the tar rivers.

Wrath- 7th layer

- ruled by Satan

- The typical idea of hell- full of fire and lava and hate. This is the worst place you can end up.

Let's talk about Phainon, shall we? Specifically about how interesting of a character he is down to the littlest details, especially for those of us who accompanied Kevin Kaslana's story in Honkai Impact 3rd.

If you don't really now anything about HI3d, let me explain: Phainon is (at least regarding initial impressions) supposed to be based off the earlier period of Kevin's life, before all the tragedy. But observing him closely, he's already different in very curious ways.

See, Kevin was just a normal student up until a certain point, when he joined MOTH (the organization that fought against the Honkai in the past). In fact, he was still pretty much the same right up until he underwent a surgery in order to get his ice powers. A normal bright-eyed boy everywhere you looked.

But Phainon... Has never really been "bright-eyed" in his life? You might think he was during his earlier life in Aedes Elysiae, but he was already very down-to-earth as a child, at least to me. It's a little strange how he seemed to never entertain Cyrene's opinions about fate and heroism and all that. Actually, it seems Phainon only began giving thought to idealism when he joined the Flame-Chase Journey.

Also, Phainon already seems so... "Perfect", in a way? Kevin didn't become the Deliverer in a day. He had to claw his way up to becoming the strongest (reference intended), and that was further emphasized by paralleling him with Elysia, who was born extraordinary but was eventually surpassed in strength by Kevin.

Phainon wasn't exactly born strong either, but his attitude about it is so... Confident? Kevin was pretty humble about his strength in the beginning, and even when he became all cold and stoic he mostly touted his strength as fact or just straight up saw himself as a weapon against Honkai and nothing more. In contrast, Phainon is relatively cocky about it, even in his beginnings. Like he always knew he's supposed to be that strong, even before actually attaining that power.

Continuing about the differences in behavior, Phainon is so much more aggressive than Kevin. The latter is all about cold unfeeling logic, so you never really see any sign of aggression in him, but the former? Nikador proved more than once how susceptible Phainon is to bloodlust, it's kinda wild. While Kevin barely lets his emotions manifest in the first place, it looks like Phainon can't quite help surrendering to them—the negative ones, that is. That last moment in 3.3 with Phainon resigning himself to the tragedy of his mission and vowing to save the world despite it was extremely Kevin-coded, though.

All that preface is to paint you a picture of the man who's calling himself Phainon right now. A weary, anxious, skeptical, relatively belligerent, somewhat proud but still inwardly unconfident who chose to believe in a prophecy of salvation and is giving his all to be part of it.

Now, now, here's the catch: the "nice Phainon" we see isn't a facade, though. In fact, I'd say it would be pretty reductive to call it a facade. That's nothing more and nothing less than Phainon's genuine effort to become someone better, someone more worthy of being called a Deliverer. Therefore, it's already a true facet of "Phainon".

Kevin's character is pretty linear: a man who gradually shed himself of idealism, sharpening himself into a cold, unfeeling blade to be used against the Honkai. Meanwhile, Phainon gradually attained idealism instead, but hasn't fully changed from who he was before, and now is constantly juggling those aspects around. I wonder just where will he go like that.

A/N: this took me like forever I got so distracted oml 😭 sorry if this is short, I love the idea but had no ideas for it

[quartztwst]

Edmond, Rene, and Cedric info (TWST OCs) + some visuals 🤪

[WARNING BEFORE READING: This contains child abuse and images have blood pictured in them. If you are not comfortable with this, please don’t read this or please look at my safer works!!]

(also my writing is trash)

Small Information If You Don’t Know Them:

Edmond Pierre (3rd year), Rene Pierre (1st year), and Cedric Etoile (2nd year) are Twisted Wonderland OCs based of Disney’s 1950s Cinderella. Edmond Pierre is based off of Drizella, Rene Pierre is based off of Anastasia, and Cedric Etoile is based of off Cinderella.

Information About Them Currently:

In NRC, Edmond and Rene are both sorted into Pomefiore’s dormitory, meaning that they’re literally togther often but that doesn’t mean they get along. They are always seen either bickering or messing with eachother since well.. They are brothers.

Their arguements can get quite loud and annoying with leads Vil to shut them up and punishing them. Sometimes Vil has to keep an eye on them so they won’t get too rowdy over petty topics like which color the fabric is (although none of them knows anything about fabrics because it’s just Edmond wanting to impress Vil and Rene is there to sabotage him.)

Although it may seem like they’re always together, they also interact with other students:

Rene often talks to Epel since they are in the same grade and in the same dorm. They share some similar interests like going against things about them like how Epel dislikes being pictured as a weak and meek dude when he actually can stand his ground, and Rene hates the expectations of his mother and being restricted.

Edmond and Rene both find Rook strange. However, Edmond admires Rook’s ability to make such poetic statements about others or about anything.

Edmond and Rene respect Vil a lot since he is the dormleader of Pomefiore. Also he’s the one who stops their petty fighting and puts them in the time-out corner.

Octavinelle is dead.

Edmond is in the same club as Riddle and finds him a promising underclassman. But Riddle thinks Edmond is a bit… like Ace and Deuce. Edmond doesn’t know that so he’s living in his delusion (lol.)

(Other interactions may come soon.)

Edmond, during school, loves to act like he is proper and above people like he’s a prince. He also doesn’t like getting his hands dirty in fights so he avoids them. Basically, he thinks he’s a pretty princess who cannot be harmed. So far, he hasn’t totally beaten up. Just a little roughed up. From the tweels.

Rene, on the other hand, depends. I mean, he doesn’t like people bothering him but if a physical or magical fight can get him out of NRC, he’ll do his best. But usually, Rene is a good student. He doesn’t really bother people unless it’s his brother.

Academics for Edmond is hard. He’s pretty good in P.E. but he struggles with studying for academic tests. He’s grades are pretty low as Rene is doing well, but he’s only doing well if him getting out of NRC doesn’t work out.

SInce there isn’t much about RSA, Cedric’s school life may be short.

Cedric’s grades are average. He’s not perfect but he is passing since his test scores are impressive. He seems to do better in tests rather than other assignments. It may be because he works better with pressure, or he managed to study most of the subjects the night before the tests.

During school, Cedric is a good student, always helping out and assisting others whenever he can which is why some of his assignments get low grades. He also works out often now so picking up heavy things are easier for him.

He oftens hangs around Neige and they’re good friends. (Other interactions may come soon.)

Information About Their Past:

Back in their childhood and they were mostly raised by the Pierre brothers’ mother (Cedric’s stepmother), Cedric did all the chores and was left mostly alone. He was treated horribly by his step-mother and he was forced to be homeschooled and hidden away from others outside of the family.

Before all of this, Cedric used to live with his father but then his father died due to a heart attack right after he got remarried. Since Cedric’s mother died during birth, his stepmother was the only adult to take him in as his mother figure. She had also taken in his father’s popular boutique business in the City of Flowers, inheriting all of the money. Soon, she was consuming and thriving in the rich life as she hid Cedric from everybody.

Despite his step-mother being cruel, his step-brothers weren’t so. They still played with Cedric even when their mother told them not to or pulled them away. She tried to isolate Cedric as much as she could.

Because of that, Edmond as accepted it as Rene thought it was stupid. (But they still interacted with Cedric because THEY’RE BASICALLY BROTHERS.)

Cedric’s scar happened because of an accident.

After Cedric’s stepmother forced everything onto Cedric, Edmond felt upset that Cedric was doing more than him when he was the oldest. So he tried to cook all by himself but Cedric said it was too dangerous for him since he was inexperienced. Edmond was cutting some vegetables angrily until Cedric tried to pull the knife away from his hands and caused a tug of war.

With a slip of a hand, Edmond accidentally made a deep cut into Cedric’s cheek.

Edmond felt so guilty and helped Cedric clean up the blood and patched it up for him. Til this day, he looks at the scar with slight guilt.

Cedric think it made him look badass though lol

END OF THE POST

I literally suck at writing sorry but i really wanted to talk about their backstory. i might change it up too if i don’t like it. 😭😭😭😭 sometimes i feel so awkward talking about my ocs but i hope u guys made it to here lol

Actually genuinely so obsessed with your writing and how you characterize the Yellowjackets girls- absolutely no pressure at all, but I was wondering if you have any updates on Porcelain or Drunk Walk Home?

Or literally just any rambly thoughts on JackieNat or JackieShauna because again- obsessed with your characterization and thoughts on them

(The day you update Drunk Walk Home is the day I drop everything, call in sick, cancel doctors appointments, drive my car right off the road to start reading)

Thank u! New porcelain update hopefully later this week. DWH will be updated, it’s just 3rd on the list right now. Porcelain is #1. Another YJ fic I have (you are the country i bloody the hills for) only has 2 chapters left, and I’d like to finish it so that’s #2. But I do have an outline for DWH and it is on my mind.

Ramblings under the cut

Jackieshauna: so one thing that interests me with them is the “i don’t know where you end and I begin” quote. I think both of them project on each other in a way. Jackie has this love (possibly also codependency) with Shauna where she wants to stay as close as they were as kids forever. To her, it would be great to go to the same college, stay in the same room, etc. so she doesn’t feel a need to ask Shauna about it. If it’s a no-brainer for her, then it’s a no-brainer for Shauna. Meanwhile Shauna has a lot of anger and resentment, so she assumes Jackie has it too and that her actions are malicious, when they might not be. They both fail to see the other fully. It’s more like they see each other but with a big piece of themselves inside. And that’s part of the tragedy to it. I think if Jackie saw Shauna fully, she might be able to be more attentive, and if Shauna saw Jackie fully, she might be able to be more forgiving… but ofc that opportunity is dead and gone.

Jackienat: their dynamic in my fics is honestly just based off of Doomcoming + the two scenes where Nat mentions jealousy in relation to Jackie.

Doomcoming is interesting to me cause they were mostly at odds all season, but when it came down to a life or death situation it turned out they have more in common than they think morally. We see Lottie/Shauna work in tandem in a murdery way, while Nat/Jackie work in tandem to put an end to it. They’re the only ones to take issue with Travis’ SA, only ones to try and stop the hunt, and the only ones to openly oppose the wilderness cult/woo woo so strongly afterwards. Jackie’s refusal of the bear meat actually reminds me a lot of teen Nat in S2 pushing against Lottie. I think they’re alike in a way that is very subtle and neither of them realize due to their more glaring differences. That’s why I like writing slow burns for them. I think it’d take them a while to get there emotionally.

The other thing is the concept of jealousy with them. It’s obvious why Nat would be jealous of Jackie, who’s well-off with a seemingly good home life, but I also think Jackie is jealous of Nat back. Nat is someone who (at least seemingly) is comfy being alone, while Jackie has always been part of a pair, and Nat is able to unashamedly enjoy sex, while Jackie has a million reservations about it. I think they could balance each other out in a way. Nat isn’t used to having someone by her side to be kind/support her, but being by someone’s side is basically all Jackie knows how to do. Jackie needs someone to show her the ropes sexually without pressure/shame (which is also why I like starting them as fwb in fics) and help expand her worldview past constantly caring what everyone else thinks. There’s a foundation for them both to improve each other imo

Ninjago ghost au!

It came to me right as I was about to fall asleep haha

Okay if any of you watched the show ghost, this is loosely based on that!

Nya and her girlfriend Skylor, find out that Nya inherited a mansion! Obviously they take a shot in the dark and move there!

So Nya gets hurt when and has to be brought back to life with those machine! Allowing her to see ghost because of her near death experience! In the mansion she finds out there a whole bunch of ghost!

chaos ensures!

Morro is the oldest ghost there killed because of starvation and wondering in a small cave on the property.

He keeps mostly to himself only showing up once in a while

His ghostly power is that when people pass through him it brings up their negative emotions

He was adopted when he was younger by someone

but ran away as a kid and became a thief

He possessed Lloyd once when Lloyd was still alive

Died at age 18 but tries to act older

Zane 2nd to die in the property

Died from a cold

Since medicine wasn’t as advanced when he was alive

Ghostly power is that he can make a room colder

He was a general for a war

He lost his foot during the war

His father did create a prosthetic for him

Has no descendants

Died at 27

Gets very worried when Skylor or Nya get sick

Cole is the 3rd to die on the property

He loves it when Skylor bakes cakes

Cole died exploring the same cave as morro died in!

The ceiling collapsed in on him and he was crushed to death..

His ghostly power is that he can travel off the property but he wasn’t aware of it until Nya

He just never had a reason too leave and his death kinda traumatised him

He had lied to his dad about being a bard

When in reality he was a explorer

His father is a ghost as well which when they resolve there issues and catch up when he finally leaves the property

Died at 26

Kai built the mansion

Was a young Lord

Very selfish and hotheaded when alive

Died from a fire in the mansion

He ran back in to save his children

They survived he didn’t obviously, although he knew he would die when he went into the fire

Actual cause of death was smoke inhalation

His ghostly power is that he can move object

Since he was always on the move when he alive, and always had to be working

Died at 30 one of the oldest and richest of the ghost to die

Nya is his descendent

But He still treats her like his sister

Is extremely sharp with her and can be quite mean. But it’s because he scared and protective of his descendants

Jay was a inventor showcasing his craft at the mansion when he died

Lied a lot about to past because he was ashamed he didn’t come from money

Incredibly shocked when he found he was actually related to a famous actor

Died from his machine malfunctioning and electricuting him to death

Suspects fowl play was involved in his death

It was and morro is the only one that knows who murdered Jay

Morro doesn’t tell him because 1. He’s a jerk like that and 2. Jay is one of the few ones aren’t traumatised by their death

He is traumatised, he just jokes about the issue better because he doesn’t want to think about how much he missed and didn’t get to do

Ghostly power can make lights flicker

Died at 25

Has half siblings from his bio farther side still around

Lloyd was one of the more recent ghost dying in the 90s

His dad was in the mafia

Wu and misako were detectives

Lloyd would go over there to play in the forest around the mansion

He stumbled by the old cave as a kid and morro decided to follow him in case the kid died

Ended up possessing him for about two days until he left the boundary and got kicked out of Lloyds body

Lloyd didn’t go there again till he was older

Wu and Misako organised a meeting at the mansion since they knew the people living there at the time.

to wanted to get garmadom to turn himself in or stop committing crimes before Lloyd reputation and life was ruined

Things went south, when Lloyd arrived

Garmadon accidentally shot him and ended up killing Lloyd

Wu, misako and garmadon are all still alive.

They all visit the mansion now and again and leave candy and comics where he dies

He was 16 when he died

Ghostly power is to go in people dream

Harumi lives up in the attic

She hates being bothered

Has no living relatives that she know of

Hates authority figures

She was a rich adopted teen, her real parents were by cops at a protest

She hates Lloyd and uses him as proof of the corruption of cops

When the news came out about his death people’s painted him as a hero trying to stop his evil dad

his death was used as a pro cops and propaganda despite the wishes of everyone in his family

Harumi died as a teen in 2000’s she 17

She died wandering onto the property because a group she was apart of was gonna force another girl go into the woods alone as a pledge.

She secretly took that girls place

Died alone and scared killed by a venomous snake she couldn’t see.

Makes people high/hallucinates when she walks into them

Her and morro are both incredibly bitter and don’t hang out with the other ghost or interact with the living unless it’s to cause trouble

Unpopular opinion:

Even though we get defensive whenever this term is used against us to somehow disprove shifting, every time you've dreamed, you literally have shifted. With the collective assumption that there are INFINITE realities, there are an INFINITE number of them where your fingers pass through your hand when you try to "reality check".

Or your reflection looks weird. Or you don't need to breathe to stay alive. Or experiences in general feel fuzzy (notice how it's only in comparison to this reality when you come back). Or you're walking your dog, and suddenly you're flying with a sky whale on Jupiter. Or you know how to read English, but every time you try to read something, words like "cat" and "car" look like ancient hieroglyphics. Or a person you've seen before is supposed to represent someone in this life, but they don't look anything like them. Or everything is in 3rd person perspective like you're a ghost (ahm ahm we literally don't even need a body to exist). Or you can't feel certain senses (there are other animals on our planet right now that experience more senses than we do, does that make THIS a dream).

We are all babies born in a burning house. The rest of the world is not on fire, and we don't know what that looks like. I know we feel tempted to label dreams something different so that new shifters don't get confused with the concept. But I think mostly everyone has had at least 1 dream in their life, meaning that the new shifters, the experienced shifters, the expert shifters, everyone, has already shifted based off of that fact alone. Why exclude that information from someone just to preserve this "reality over dream" superiority complex? Whoever hates on us for saying reality shifting is dreams, experiences like this current one, everything in between and beyond, was going to hate on us regardless.

This reality is not the blueprint for INFINITY.

Go to sleep tonight, have a dream, and come back and tell us how your shift went. Please and thank you.

[ceratedfish24]

So I was rewatching limited life cuz I had a bit of time to kill and its the series I havn't rewatched lately and when I took a small break to get some food Grifters by Charming Disaster came up on my Playlist and I can't tell if it's a good Mean Gills song or if there's just a couple of lines and it's mostly time association

I- yes. Absolutely, yes. There is possibly no song better for the Mean Gills. Yes. This is perfect. I cannot tell you how often I envision them dancing to this song in my free time.

Let's of course start with the chorus, "with your skills and my good looks" being sung by both Ellia and Jeff is so so perfect, because Martyn and Scott both think of themselves as the pretty one who shouldn't be doing all the work and they also both have so much respect for the other's skills. Also, "those fish'll be begging for the hook" they are both fish men. Those are fish men. I know that Martyn is a pirate coral man, but they are fish people. They live on the sea. They are fish.

Verse 1 is extremely Martyn. It gives off some Scott vibes, too, but Martyn is the one who makes his whole thing lying and cheating people in and out of deals. "Take 'em for what they've got before they leave you" is SO Martyn, especially after he spoke about how he was originally planning to betray Ren if they had ended up the finalists in 3rd Life AND that being exactly how the ending of Limited Life played out.

Verse 2 has looser connections, in my opinion, but "I was born to live the life of leisure" makes sense for both of them. I mean, Scott is literally a classic elven prince in ESMP S1. It doesn't get much more luxurious than that. Martyn is a little more complicated. He's not the ruler of anything, nor does he often write his characters in a way that puts himself in an initial position of great wealth or power. However, in Pirates SMP, yet another SMP where Scott is in a position of wealth and luxury, it's no coincidence that Martyn ended up a Kestral, the faction known for its greed. He may not have started wealthy, but he, personally, aligned himself with the faction that seeks out luxury. While Pirates SMP Martyn and Limited Life Martyn are, of course, different people, they're still based on the same person. They're both still inherently Martyn. He has that fight for comfort in him.

Verse 3 talks about double crossing people. That's literally the climax of the finale of Limited Life. It is the number one way that the Mean Gills are doomed. Their eyes are everywhere but each other, because they made this bed and will lie in it if that is what it comes down to. "You may plan to double cross me (Slip a dagger in their back) // But I'm sticking with this horse // If the con is long enough it doesn't matter". Perfect. Self-explanatory. Does my job for me.

Verse 4 has "And some call me a snake // To others, I'm the closest of their friends", which I find is a great descriptor for Martyn in particular. In character, Martyn loves to lie to get the upper hand, but he is a devout ally through and through. On Scott's end, that man is sneaky. That man's got tricks, but there are also people (Cleo, Etho, Pearl, Impulse, Ren, etc.) who trust him whole-heartedly so long as an alliance has been established.

The bridge, then, in its entirety, revolves around uncertain yearning. That's, like, the entirety of Mean Gills. Whether you interpret that yearning to be between each other or through Scott & Jimmy and Martyn & Ren doesn't matter. Those two yearn, whether with love or bloodlust or victory; it consumes them.

TLDR; uhhh yes Grifters by Charming Disaster is the perfect song for Mean Gills from every single angle you could possibly look at them from.

[adachimoe]

The effort this dumbass put into this

Honestly, yeah. What is the player by this point in time, if not a huge dumbass?

Adachi's letter only continues if you've gotten him to rank 9 by this point. This involves getting him to rank 6 by his hard cut off date and then going to see him alone on December 7th and seeing his arcana transform.

Earlier in his Social Link, Adachi talks about his school life. As he says, you can only get back what you put in - if you put in effort to studying, then you get grades. And in his experience, this is exactly what he did. But as he remarks, this only worked at school and it doesn't translate to the real world.

In the 3rd Persona 4 audio drama cd, which was released before Golden even!, Adachi's dialogue talks about effort. His commentary is, more or less, that things are not worth it unless there's some kind of reward: He mocks the protagonist for running at full speed during the relay that has no reward, but thinks it's okay for Dojima and Nanako to try and win the 3-legged-race because they can win a free night at the Amagi's.

In some ways, I think you can relate this to the Social Link system as a whole: We tell our Social Links things they like to hear during mostly one sided conversations where they talk, we occasionally respond, and we get rank ups for our troubles. But obviously, this only works in the game. (Tbh tho, in real life, you can leave people on read for 5 years before resuming their Social Links.) Things require more effort - caring, giving a shit, more than a one sided conversation.

Adachi's Social Link starts off the same - we invite him over for dinner, we tell him responses he likes to hear, and we get rank ups as our rewards. On rank 7 and 8, there are no points to be earned. We simply assume that, based on Adachi's dialogue, he must give a shit about us, and his Social Link advances on its own.

When his Social Link transforms, he asks us what the hell kind of brain damage we have to assume our bond with him was really that tight. "You get back what you put in" - we put the time to go see him here, against our friends' wishes even, and we don't get a rank up here. But the nature of our relationship changes with him and his arcana changes into Lust or Hunger.

By the end of the game, when Adachi calls us a dumbass, it's cause we honestly are 100% a bunch of dumbasses. In order to get this guy to talk to us in any way whatsoever, we have to go through his stupid Social Link requirements where he has limited availability and it swaps between day / night, where you sometimes don't even know what to do because Atlus was too fucking stupid to program in a tell to go do his hangout during the night (or maybe that was intentional idk), and also do this all by a certain deadline while juggling all of the other bullshit going on in the game and the scheduling. And on top of it all, you are then given the option to go against your friends wishes and continue reaching out to him even after finding out he kicked off all of the events of the game that nearly got Nanako killed and endangered the rest of your party members, plus he tried to bait you into killing Namatame.

It goes without saying that the effort that you have put into this relationship is significantly higher than whatever Adachi has put in. And as he says himself, you get back what you put in. Despite what the player has put in, we've gotten a lot of nothing back. He, uh, came over and bummed free dinners and tried to get Nanako in on his low effort game by telling her to cheat on a book report. That's like, gotta be a negative gain lmao.

To have gone out of your way to try and get this guy's Social Link rank ups and talk to him even after the reveal and after you've already gotten so little out of this... Yeah okay honestly what are we if not a bunch of dumbasses by this point. Like I'm 352 posts into this blog and Adachi isn't even going to throw me into a TV god what's the point even.

But at the same time, Adachi appreciates how big of a dumbass we are when it comes to him. He doesn't call us a dumbass because he hates us, he calls us a dumbass because of how much effort we've put into this relationship. A level of effort that he himself scoffed at, but now causes him to reflect back on the time he spent with us and sees it more fondly. He couldn't see what he had until he didn't have it anymore.

Adachi will send you the letter urging you to reach out the truth and finish the case so long as you're doing the true ending. It's a scene from the PS2 game and it doesn't matter if you've done his Social Link or not. In Persona Club P4, Atlus remarks on how the caution tape in his dungeon hints that deep down inside, he *is* still a detective. Him sending the letter is proof of that - he wants you to solve the mystery. But if you complete his Social Link, the letter continues with this new segment, and I think this changes the nature of his letter: Having put the effort in to him with not much to show for it, we, at long last, get something from him.

And of course, as P4AU implies, he has become something of a "dumbass" himself in regards to expending unnecessary effort on things no one asks you to do.

Btw, the way Madono calls you an idiot in the Japanese audio is pretty great. The way he draws out vowels as Adachi in general I think really helps sell the playfulness.

SONIC ART DUMP!!!!!!!!

firstly, my general design hcs!!!! some are kinda outdated and i'll have to redesign them later, but i at least wanna get this out there

next up i have some ship doodles of the pairings i like (though they can also be seen platonically!!!)

next, i have some forces drawings!!! if you know the reference image for these first two images then you're a real one

this is paired w some doodles of some sonic forces outfits i made for some of the characters (specifically the resistance characters). theyre heavily based on some pjsk outfits that i will happily explain in another post bc ough i love themough
