#naki’s asks

[straybaddog06]

Hello! I saw your izuleo as shinaya posts and I got curious on why you think they are similar? I always thought Leo was the most similar to shintaro and wasnt very similar to ayano so I wanted to know about your view!

Hi!!

First of all I’m very sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I love these characters and wanted to make sure I could cite and explain my reasoning well since I have put a lot of thought into this which included rereading so much content. I’ve also been fairly busy this month which got in the way of things lmao

Secondly, I am so interested in how you view them, I can kind of see/understand your Shintaro assignment. They do have some similarities but I’m curious to see you explain it!

I am assuming you’ve seen the entire project but I am going to reference everything I can just in case. I know you mainly asked about Ayano/Leo but I do need to touch up on Shintaro/Sena due to their narrative ties.

P.S: The TL’s used and cited are

Maluridae: Lionheart

Royalquintet: Blue Filament, Requiem

Kageyama8: Duel

Kagepro wiki: Additional memory, Toumei Answer, Old Day’s

The official english kagepro TLs (there are issues with these however they’re easier to cite)

Their narrative role’s

Within the Narrative Ayano and Leo(at first) are introduced to us as characters who haunt the narrative.

Leo

Within Enstars ! Era Leo is gone for the most part, he doesn’t get return until around the end of summer. While he’s not dead per say the way he’s spoken about in game and in lionheart before his return is like a sore thumb. He’s not here, he may never come back as far as they’re aware but they go on waiting for his return. Leo is the heart of Knights in its writing, they never feel whole without him, they manage to get on their feet again when Tsukasa joins them but Tsukasa isn’t Leo, he can’t fill the gap he left.

While Anzu acts as an audience stand in as she’s supposed to be us and represent us, Tsukasa acts as a great voice of the audience. Like Tsukasa we do not know who Leo is, we’ve never met him or knew him before we know even less than what Tsukasa has heard as well. In a way it could be easy for a reader be swept up into their beliefs. Tsukasa idolises Leo in his head and has an impression of what kind of person he is.

Within duel Naru say’s “Since our leader isn’t here, we’ve become carefree and self indulgent” this implies he was the kind of person who would wrangle the other three into order regardless of their individualism. Not to mention if you look up to a group of people and they talk about someone who’s their leader in what looks like a good light you tend to respect them. Add being called a king for a traditional medieval themed unit and you can just imagine what kind of person they are.

And even when Leo does return, he still haunts the narrative, more specifically Sena’s narrative. A lot of Sena’s writing when it involves him does revolve around Sena’s guilt and his perception of Leo as a person. During the start of Leo’s return Rebellion/Horror night Sena reflects how he doesn’t know what kind of person Leo is now and in the latter how he’s afraid to get close to him in case he hurts him again. This comes to ahead in Requiem and Gambit, for example in Requiem during Leo’s outburst he says “Weren’t you always a nice guy who’d never hurt anyone? Wait, no… I was the one who made you like this, so do you want me to apologize?”

Here we see part of how sena views him, a lot of the way he views Leo is shaped by their first two years together. Which is fair it makes sense, but with how there’s a clear divide between them that doesn’t start to close till towards the end of Halloween and more so Requiem, it does feel like idolisation. Especially with how Sena uses “weren’t you” instead of “aren’t you” because it’s weird, weren’t you is past tense it would have made more sense except Sena as stated in rebellion feels like he doesn’t know him very well anymore (understandably) and accepts that Leo telling their groupmates to go die is normal for the Leo that exists in present day.

Lionheart goes on before this with quotes like:

“Our youth became riddled with cracks. It's broken now, and its purity has been lost. That precious radiancy only exists in the past now, and he chose to be buried with it.” And “He was pure like a child, and played those melodies of love with goodwill and passion; I didn't really hate those songs of his. In fact, I actually liked them quite a bit.”

Using terms like “purity” and “radiancy” displays how highly he views that time. How to him he was happiest and it was something he may feel like he’d taken for granted. He calls Leo “pure like a child” someone who has no ill will, who holds no malice, naive to the dangers and pains of the world. Again he uses past tense because after the war he no longer is that pure vision of him.

“Because there was one person who existed who told me that he liked me — who called me beautiful. Because, even if it was only a moment, a part of my youth existed in my life... where I was affirmed and loved to the point where I was able to think that I was glad to be born.” It’s no wonder he feels the way he does when Sena expresses to no one but himself how much he felt cherished that he was happy to be alive. There was once someone so pure and innocent who showered him love and affection, someone who made him feel good about himself. Yet now as far as Sena is aware those days are dead, that person who loved him unconditionally once died by his own hand.

Ayano

As for Ayano she’s dead before all the media’s begin and haunts every route, even manga2 due to how it’s set up.

Ayano’s death has personally affected every dan related character except for like Hibiya, this is because most characters knew her personally. Mary doesn’t move in until post Ayano’s death, Hiyori is her aunt and Momo had met her before plus she’s shintaros sister. Hiyori is more impacted by Ayaka’s death than Ayano’s but Hiyori is a whole can of missed potential.

Shintaro is a neet because of her death, and yes Takane/Haruka disappearances have some impact he’s more impacted by Ayano’s death. Partially, Shintaro wallows in his grief and can’t get himself to do anything if it’s not for Ene pulling him out and distracting him. Part of this could be taken from how he believes it is his fault she died however with manga2 we know this kind of thing would have probably happened regardless due to Haruka’s death. However I have reason to believe manga2 shintaro would never have gotten as bad as he did in Route XX since Haruka died of natural causes due to his condition while Ayano as far as Shintaro is aware was struggling mentally and then actively said it was his fault. Shintaro saw her crying as evidenced in Toumei answer mv and did nothing.

Her lack of presence has affected most of the cast but more than that there’s how she’s introduced to people. Ignoring the manga, the novels introduce her in novel 2, this is the standard Takane backstory that’s in the three main story formats we learn who Ene is and Who this random guy at the end of novel 1 is and how Haruka is Konoha. We know the full quartet at this point but we haven’t met Ayano in the present. We have no idea what happened to her but she is out of the picture. Ayano is seen as a cute ditzy girl. She’s not the most bold or confident but she’s sweet.

Shintaro gets haunted by Yaki in novel 3 as she tries to get Shintaro to remember the past timelines before he wakes up to Kano in the room. While Kano is trying to get out of the situation he turns into Ayano and says “Then, why didn’t you save me?” “Hey, answer me shintaro. Could it be that you’ve forgotten about me?” “Fine. Goodbye Shintaro. Be happy.”

With shintaros monologue saying things like:

“The thoughts I’ve been thinking for years were trying to spill out, but I couldn’t form them into words. In the end I couldn’t say anything. Ayano didn’t wait for me. And just like that day, I couldn’t tell her anything.”

And

“Was this punishment? Was this punishment for me, who didn’t listen to that person and couldn’t lend her a hand?”

This shows to us something has obviously happened to her, how it’s had a huge effect on both Shintaro and Kano even if we haven’t seen all the details yet. Shintaro is grieving, he has things he wishes he could have told her after years of mourning, he reflects how he may have been able to do something to save her had he just done something instead of just standing by. We also get a sense that Kano hates Shintaro with the whole turning into a dead person and clearly holding a grudge against him.

Personalities and relationships

Ayano

Ayano is shown in a fairly positive light in the novels and the manga. She has her flaws but no one really has any bad opinions on her, everyone loves her. She’s cheerful and optimistic, sure she’s awful academically but it’s fine, most people suck. She was excited to become an older sister, showing her siblings the unconditional love and support they’d been robbed of prior.

There’s also something you could say about how quickly Ayano was to decide to effectively kill herself for her siblings and friends. Is it death if you don’t truly die but enter an alternative dimension? There’s no way to truly guarantee it would have worked and she was still jumping off her school roof. She was only a 16 year old girl. A child finding out that after her mother died, her father is only alive because he was possessed by an evil snake and because he was possessed by an evil snake her best friends and siblings are all going to die. As far as she’s aware too there’s no way for her to get out of this with no one dying. Desperate, she goes to kano for help because like god can you blame her? She’s a child dealing with this, and there’s no one she can even go to due to it being supernatural. She doesn’t tell him everything either because how can she? She’s not telling her brother she’s going to jump off the school roof for everyone.

I love Additional Memory and Manga2, they deconstruct her character so beautifully. To start with Additional Memory is more aligned with the typical timeline we’re aware of that happens in the other routes, through the lyrics but also partially the music video, we see her more ugly emotions. It makes her feel so much more real than plastic.

For Additional memory, the song details Ayano’s feelings after she jumps into the daze.

The lyrics at first mention how she sees her life flashing before her eyes, how everything has come to end. She’ll never get to grow up and have a normal life with the people she loves.

She’s staring at a tv replaying past memories. Her feelings towards Shintaro become apparent but instead of saying anything, she does not. She loves him but is a coward and keeps it to herself. As she dies her feelings are stripped away, melting and rotting because Ayano is dead. While the feelings may remain, to society she is dead and that’s what everyone will believe forever more.

Ayano never wanted to die, she wanted to grow up with her friends and family. All of her feelings go with her to her grave, she’ll never get to give them to Shintaro. Instead all of her feelings will be swallowed by the daze as she dies, never to be heard by anyone.

One of the key lyrics within the song is “My true feelings melted in a story where proof I lived is forbidden” and its sister lyric “My remaining feelings are a story where ‘happiness’ is forbidden” Breadbox/ David has a decent analysis video on the song, where he suggests the idea that: Ayano is lying to herself in the first half and honest in the latter.

Saying her feelings melted is like saying: The feelings I had for shintaro do not exist in a living world where I failed to reach out to him. When it comes to the sister lyric it reads as though if we take away her romantic feelings towards Shintaro, everything she wanted to do and everything she felt & went through all exists in a life/story where she’ll throw herself off the roof for those she cares about. She’ll never live past being 16 in her first year of high school.

In jin’s 15/8th livestream in 2018 just before additional memory’s release, Jin said that “Ayano has a so-called gentle girl image, but she also bears these kinds of feelings” which is so true! Compare additional memory to Ayano’s theory of happiness and it really is like night and day.

When it comes to Manga2 it gets a bit different, as this is a timeline set before every other single piece of media. It’s the earliest one we’ve seen if it’s not the first. Even if it’s set up after manga1, manga1 has it orchestrated so it’s Shintaro remembering.

I love how they introduce us to her by her ominously standing there looking at Hibiya like: “I’m a monster c:<“ in fact she calls everyone with an eye power a monster. First of all it gives us all a go ahead that something is not right with Ayano even if the manga is your introduction the earlier volumes in manga1 has Ayano during the yuukei yesterday portion who is a lot more normal in comparison. I think it’s interesting if you’re familiar with the music route before this point than you’ll be aware of how in Ayano’s theory of happiness in the lyrics and mv Seto cries that he’s a monster and Ayano tries to assure him/Kano/Kido that those red eyes are heroic.

One thing to note is from a young age she was worried sick about her siblings, something could easily happen to them! Who knows what but they or someone could get hurt because of them. And then she, Mary and their parents get caught in that landslide trying to research Mary’s eye powers. Ayano is forced to watch the shit show of Azami’s life on repeat, through favouring eyes which conveys all the emotions and generally it is believed Azami had a wider handle on the powers than the dan. Not to mention Ayano was like 15 at the time, no child should ever have to go through that, it’s no wonder she had completely lost it blaming Mary and saying she needed to die to save her siblings. Three years later she still is contemplating it because to her there is no other exit to save the people she loves.

She’s also forever stuck in a however long series of time loops watching how everyone around her dies and being unable to communicate or get any sort of closure.

While in the other routes she’s very sweet, manga2 is a little more snarky. She’s willing to tease Shintaro about showing him Azami’s memories and make him lose his appetite like Hibiya. She also didn’t want anything to do with him since to her he wasn’t involved with the power’s situation. She generally comes off as more competent and smart in contrast as well. She really does feel like a different person than other Ayano’s post Mary moving in.

Now within the Old Days voice drama from the Daze/Days single it features a version of how Ayano and Shintaro meet as at the end of the manga there’s a different version of this. Ayano had fell asleep while doing make up work and Shintaro had forgotten his wallet. During this Ayano kinda just begs him to tutor her where he agrees. This is the start of their friendship, Ayano is really pushy and seems to like him quite a bit while Shintaro was monologuing about how everyone around him is fake and stupid and actually he’s not bothered to make relationships. It’s like extremely evident middle school shintaro had a lot of issues.

Shintaro also goes on to tell Ayano as they’re parting ways “It’s not all just good things. Even if I want to forget or don’t like it, I end up remembering everything. I always worry about insignificant things. It’s a pain in the ass.”

And she responds with: “Huh? Oh, no, I was thinking if Shintaro-kun can’t forget the bad things, it would be nice if there were lots of good things that’ll happen to you so it’ll outbalance the bad things. If that happens, then you won’t really think about all the bad things, right?”

She already likes him, which doesn’t seem hard for her but is already being considerate. While Shin is an ass and has been rude towards her she’s apologised when she didn’t need to but also asked him to tutor her and he agrees.

You know like Shintaro said that he can’t help but think about bad things and Ayano’s first thought really is: I want to be his friend and make him happy.

We see an extension of this in Toumei answer’s mv and lyrics. Toumei answer details the middle school and high school relationship Shintaro has with Ayano. It’s from Shintaro’s perspective and it gives us a good idea about him. He’s depressed, his intelligence just makes school boring, we know from old days he can’t stand his classmates and manga2 gives us more of an understanding of how closed off he is (partially as manga2 is very different but some things still carry over between routes)

During the first half of the song it’s focused on their middle school years. Within the mv we have Ayano giving shintaro a paper crane with a smile during the lyrics “If that’s the case, then hey, that’s pretty boring” Saying that, you always seemed to be enjoying yourself

and Shintaro ripping up his test scores on the school roof only for Ayano to pull him back with her scarf happily during “At this rate, even if I die Someone else will just replace me” Just whispering that is foolish

We can understand more about their relationship through this. While Shintaro is being a sourpuss, she tries to cheer him up through small acts like making paper cranes and pulling him around with the scarf. The paper cranes are especially interesting because while it’s never been directly stated there is the popular myth that if you create 1000 cranes a myth will be granted. This is fairly on brand for kgpr, the snakes do grant dying wishes after all. Toumei answer implies this started before high school, possibly just because she could and it’s fun giving things to people. When it comes to cranes specifically they’re said to have a long life. At some point Ayano was aware she wouldn't have one herself but desperately wished she could save the ones she loved and let them be able to have a long life instead.

In the second half of the song Ayano has died and there isn’t as much to talk about her since this is a more of a Shintaro song with a lot of the analysis to be focused on him. Shintaro is mostly reflecting how he won’t forget about her including the small details even if other people do.

However, one thing to note is that this is the only route to show/depict Shintaro seeing Ayano crying and running away, this scene also shows up in Ayano’s theory of happiness and Konoha’s state of the world but Shintaro is not shown in those. So Shintaro saw her crying, he did not know why and never pushed further. To Shintaro if he had pushed then maybe she would still be alive because he’s a normal guy for the most part, to him she’s a normal girl so surely it must be more down to earth than an evil snake.

Leo

In conjunction Leo is carefree and bratty. He has a one track mind, he’ll compose to his heart desires regardless if that causes an inconvenience to someone because getting the idea from his inspiration is in most cases more important to him. He can get so absorbed into it that he doesn’t pay attention to what surrounds him or that he isn’t entirely absorbed and just decides he feels like ignoring someone. He writes on whatever regardless of what it is so he can compose and composes songs about people when he’s annoyed with them. He also has an awful habit of saying things, without thinking that can or has hurt other people even if he doesn’t mean to. Think before you speak? Some of the time.

At the same time Leo is incredibly kind. Leo falls in love with people easily and praises them as such. He says he loves people like it’s breathing. He’s not the kind to pointlessly praise however as he has said Sena’s singing was shit with no sugarcoating even though he loved his voice or like how in starfes Leo tells Tsukasa to shut up because they had a long day ahead of them.

In gambit Leo states that the king slayer members are just like him. Scared and alone they attached themselves to a strong weapon to try and make it through the day. That all Leo felt was anger and pain, wanting to get revenge for the hurt that they caused but to him regardless of their actions they aren’t so different in reality. Here Leo is like before admitting that yes while Sena was using him for his own benefit to make his dreams come true, Sena isn’t all to blame because Leo still chose to do everything.

He can come off as wise with some interesting insights, he’s been mentioned to talk with Shu about art and he mentions and references a wide array of different stories/rhymes ect. Although these can be usually swept up with everything else happening within the story, checkmate and canary are standouts within their stories as they play a large narrative role.

There’s a certain transience Leo has in ! Era as well, primarily this is prominent in Blue Filament/Fleur dis lis/Horror Night and Canary hall. He’s been away for so long and everyone has changed. Yumenosaki isn’t the place it used to be nor is Knights, the school to him is far more peaceful and his unit are all close to one another all of a sudden. Leo at this point is still struggling with his stage fright which he keeps mostly to himself as well as just hasn’t been back for very long.

In Blue Filament he says to Tsukasa: “You’re… not just picking on me ‘cause you hate me, right?”

“Hmm. I guess I got the wrong impression ‘cause you keep doing stuff I hate or I’m just not good with. Sorry about that. …Sorry, Newbie, you can go now.”

“Is it that important? I don’t get it… It’s just letters, just a word… But I guess I need to learn how to deal with that too. Yumenosaki’s gotten peaceful while I wasn’t looking, so the lower the possibility of hurting someone, the better.

I was waiting so long for that time to come, and yet…

It’s ironic. In this world, this age… It feels like I have no place.”

With everything that’s happened this kind of reaction is understandable, Tsukasa had a built up image of Leo inside his head that was crushed the moment they met. He was unbelievably excited to finally meet him during Leo’s 2nd sub story to the point of dragging Ritsu by his foot, only to be so blind sided by the kind of person Leo actually his and his “useless” he came off as. Then we have Blue Filament for example where Tsukasa went and dragged Leo who was trying to apologise away to do some jobs. Not to mention Rebellion where Tsukasa airs out more of his complaints.

Moreover by the writing in ! Era we see Leo whose been away for so long trying to reaccluimate between his return and Canary. He went through a lot and once he returned so much had happened that the whole atmosphere changed and shifted, it’s a lot to get used to especially after the mess that was his second year. You’ve been away for so long that you missed some important things especially with your friends, then it’s the place that once felt so suffocating and hostile suddenly feels a lot more peaceful where it’s easier to breathe. There’s also Leo’s stage fright as well and just how annoying it was to get him to preform lives pre-Halloween.

We don’t know the full details of Leo/Sena’s school life before the war and during the war other than what we see in checkmate, horror night and Lionheart. We know how they met with Sena singing awfully and Leo stumbling across him. It’s enough to guess that they were in their own little bubble for the most part, with Leo dragging Sena around. That’s the impression I got from them. Especially with for example how Naru would comment on how she never knew him well and how she would often see those two together.

Sena also refused to acknowledge the feelings and his relationship with Leo instead deciding to ignore all the red flags and use him all for what he’s worth. Continuously disregarding his relationship with him even though he monologues to himself how Leo is charming and a carnivorous beast. Which even Leo was aware of how fucked he was during their second year yet still decided to press on regardless of what was happening around him.

During Rebellion too Kuro mentions Leo going berserk before which is an interesting descriptor for someone. There’s also Sena mentioning how he tossed out his humanity and snapped. Then later in gambit going on to say that he went on a villainous rampage and with how they generally talk about the war era gives an idea that Leo, while with the resolve to protect the things he holds dear willingly cut down whoever was in path regardless of who they may have been to him. While he loved and wanted to protect, devoting himself to Sena he tore everything around him down, disregarding anyone else’s feelings as he was also in pain and needed to vent it out.

Their relationship with death

When it comes to both of these characters they are intrinsically related to death, it is a huge part of the narratives surrounding them and how they’re written. The narratives within their respective stories could not happened without them, Ayanos death happens In every route without fail regardless of it’s an accident or sacrificing herself for her siblings meanwhile Leo would perish in that school with and without the war the only way he’d ever survive is if he didn’t go to Yumenosaki. Although even that is a questionable statement.

Leo

When it comes to Leo his downfall had been a slow burn but as soon as he broke his arm saving Little John that’s when it truly began. He truly realised that none of them cared or loved him like he did but he was still in denial. Laying there with his broken arm bleeding out whilst trying to convince himself it wasn’t a tragedy, he composes a song in his own blood, the blood keeping him alive. He in that moment was sacrificing the very thing that keeps him alive to compose a new song, a weapon, that would possibly be used by someone who doesn’t love him.

Weapons are common imagery associated with Leo’s songs as well, that is how you’d fight in a musical war after all. To everyone he has no use unless he can give all of himself to create their weapons(songs) to fight(perform). When he asked if the members of chess would have his friendship or his songs they all chose Leo’s songs over him. The only one he did not ask was Sena, however this can be read as A) Leo believed he knew Sena’s answer already Or B) he was too scared to ask. I think both are valid readings personally yet by the time October came around Leo saw that eleven Sena just like everyone else didn’t care about him anymore and only wanted him for his songs.

Even if Leo doesn’t want to compose anymore he will force himself to so that he won’t be thrown away by the ones he loves, this goes to such extremes as biting his hands raw and bloody if it means they’d have a new weapon. He’s sacrificing his body and all of himself just for the ones he loves even if it may end up killing him in the end. In Canary he doesn’t want to compose, not really but if he doesn’t compose a new song that suits his unit’s taste then he’s as good as dead. They can discard him all they want, because the only worth a canary has is it’s song and the only worth Leo has is the songs he can compose.

In Checkmate Leo walks to his death with his head held high. He’s interested in Ritsu and Naru’s abilities while pledging his life to Sena’s. He loves him. However, he’s desperate for the unbreakable sword to save him from his death. He has no one else, so he’ll sacrifice his heart, soul and body to Sena even if he ends up in bloody tatters, he will do everything for the ones he loves even if that means walking to his own grave. His death was an orchestrated affair but no one truly anticipated he’d die, Eichi tried to see himself in him but instead he was met with someone who would rather let a game of chess go on forever so they could keep playing.

Checkmate and We’ll be knights is his pledge to himself and everyone to devote himself in his entirety to protecting Knights. There are no more options left for them but to stain the chessboard with the blood of their past comrades. He made his decision to make Sena’s dreams come true, so following that he’ll abandon everything else regardless of the love he once had for them and pierce their bodies under the guise of the love he’s desperately clinging to.

Leo also does a good job of hiding his feelings, for example no one knew about his stage fright. It was alluded to but it was never actually stated or even addressed by his unit mates for example. There’s how he wanted to push himself and get better but no one saw that and we’re just like ‘well it’s fine if he doesn’t we have a back up plan.’ It’s also commonly mentioned how it’s difficult for characters to tell what he’s thinking. Which translates here as even with the outburst about how stupid he was to buy into everyone’s circumstantial love, Leo was able to smile and put on a show where everyone was none the wiser about his breaking heart.

If Leo didn’t die as an idol the whole narrative would not be the same, would Tsukasa still even be allowed in knights? I personally doubt it or at least it would be more difficult for him to join. We know the whole DDD fiasco would certainly be different and so on. Meanwhile, if Leo never returned the narrative probably wouldn’t change much, even in the events that Leo is there for the only ones with a major impact would be Rebellion and Requiem. Leo doesn’t have that much impact on a lot of the events, he’s doing his own thing. Canary’s whole conflict wouldn’t happen, Horror night wouldn’t change much at all, same with Fleur dis lis, starlight and fortune banquet. Requiem would majorly change due to it being Izuleo’s graduation and Leo’s outburst caused most of the conflict.

Leo is also generally described as sacrificial, especially from Sena’s perspective. To Sena in rebellion he talks about how he threw away everything to protect knights during the war and that while he doesn’t know what kind of person he is now due to the carnage he knows Leo must still care somewhat for knights. To Sena, Leo died as an idol to bring his dreams to fruition as well as shielding him from the hurt and pain of the deceased they killed during the war.

During Dark night passing/Next door and Gambit this comes up again. Leo chains himself to make up for his past mistakes, he releases songs with a shady guy so that people can still listen to these songs even if they’re not good as a part of his repentance. A shady guy that could easily lead to the death of Leo as an idol once again. He will gladly die once more if it means he can make up for his crimes. In Gambit too he goes off on his own again to sacrifice himself, willing to lend a hand to king slayer and let them have the name of knights. He’ll put himself in harm's way so his precious friends will be unscathed.

Ayano

Ayano is built on the perception of wanting to be a good big sister. A caring big sister. Outside of her siblings Ayano lacks an identity. Yes she loves wearing her scarf, yes she loves Tokusatsu/heroes but that’s mostly it. She’s sweet and kind, gets awful grades but that’s not much of an identity. Without her family Ayano has nothing to her name.

When Ayano is met with the circumstances of an evil snake possessing her father and killing her family she does everything she can. She gets her brother to help to pretend to be her so she can investigate, she does all the research she can and yet concludes she needs to die. She doesn’t consider killing her own father, she doesn’t consider getting anyone else involved or trying to get help under the guise it’s her father’s doing. She shoulders this alone. Ayano never even wanted Kano involved either but she was alone and scared and needed his eye power to help.

Ayano never wanted to die, she’s terrified. But if she doesn’t die, her entire family will be taken away from her. She has nothing left. She’s so quick to sacrifice herself because she loves them and Ayano can’t bear to exist in a world where they’re no longer alive. Ayano doesn’t want to die but feels she has no option left, she decides to die on the school roof probably because falling off is the easiest method of suicide. She just has to fall, slip, make one wrong move, ect. Every other method she has to harm her own body and fight her instincts to survive, this way she can make sure she doesn’t survive for her siblings sake because Ayano truly doesn’t want to die.

If Ayano never died here the entire plot would be different. Hypothetically you could have the rallying against Clearing eyes start during that summer she was supposed to die in. There are so many ways the story could have happened, but Ayano must die in a world where her siblings live.

At the end of manga2 Ayano is so willing to sacrifice herself to hold everyone’s bitter frustrations at being killed. All her siblings have died as well as some new friends. A world where they have died is not a world worth living in. She offers her body, her entire life to Mary, to effectively kill her and transcend her body of existence to a phantom of pain and suffering. It’s better that Ayano bears this doomed fate than anyone else. She’s alone in a purgatory of her own making, a hell forcing herself to watch the same few days in a week of summer over and over again with no one for company. She may have shintaro but shintaro doesn’t really count for company when he’s unaware she’s been living inside him since before he was born.

She for a long time did not feel human anymore so what’s more fitting for a monster than to be locked away and subjected to a time loop of searing the deaths of her loved ones on repeat into her eyes. This is a fate she cannot bear to give anyone else, it will be her own burden to bear.

She refuses to live in a world where her siblings are dead, so instead she’ll put herself in a time loop of suffering in hopes this transformation into a snake will someday save them. Even if it means centurises of watching them die over and over again, if they eventually escape and are allowed to grow up this punishment will be worth it.

Ayano’s death is a fundamental rule of the project. It happens in every route without fail, the narrative cannot begin unless Ayano has met her death regardless if she leaves the kagerou daze or not and regardless if it’s a suicide or intentional. The narrative cannot begin unless she dies.

Conclusion

In conclusion I pair them together a lot due to how their respective narratives portray their characterisation and their roles within the stories related to other characters. They feel fairly similar to me personally.

As a bonus Shintaro and Sena both get blamed to their face by Ayano(Kano)/Leo that their mental downfall is all their fault. While it was kano in truth Shintaro does not know about it until two years later long after the damage has been dealt. (That’s if he finds out at all in the route )

Willful Ignorance

[javaghoul]

This might be a bit late but I’ve just gotta know. From both the CCG and Ghouls: who saw Barbie, Oppenheimer, or saw both?

not as late as me because I haven't seen either. I'll do my best 💪

TEAM BARBIE 👠

Touka (forced into it by Yoriko)

Koma

Itori, Uta, Nico, Roma (watched it together, with drinks)

Banjou & Gasmasks (no explanation needed)

Hinami

Shuu ("forced" but not really by Chie)

Mutsuki, Saiko, Ginshi and Haise (watched it together, with snacks)

!Bonus! NEITHER

Ayato was Barbie-curious, but backed out at the last minute

Eto (no time for movies, but will sit reading a book for four hours straight)

Furuta is too busy doing god-knows what to go to the cinema

Urie leans more towards Oppenheimer, but like Eto has no time for movies (but will work out for 3 hours)

Naki heard Oppenheimer was about "bombs and shit" and walked out bored after 15 minutes

Yomo thinks he's too dumb to enjoy Oppenheimer, too smart to enjoy Barbie

Neither appealed to Suzuya

Amon has no time for movies when JUSTICE needs to be served

Not sure how accurate these are because I haven't seen them. Lemme know if you'd make any adjustments!

Hero reading to Skeptic and TLQ?

I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG! This concept just gripped me by the heart and I could not live with myself if I didn't give it the love and time it deserved. Obviously as the most literate of the group Hero is the dedicated storyteller. Narrator and Princess both are semi-literate (with the former having vision issues he would rather die than admit to), but Hero as a regular employee can read no problem! He prefers to read fantasy and adventure books, but his little library has grown quite large from novels found in some of the abandoned facilities and occasionally requests for specific genres from their friends. Hero used to read things fairly blandly but as he has gotten comfortable he has started doing voices more! TLQ often likes to close their eyes and just zone out to the stories. He likes to imagine himself in them and pretend they're about when he, Princess, and Narrator are finally free of their contracts and can go explore space proper. I am sure he has actually fallen asleep at least once during a story. Skeptic LOVES to listen to reading. While detective novels are obviously his favorite he enjoys any and all books he can listen to. Often he will request Hero explain how things might smell or sound because he cannot understand the image adjectives, so Hero has to try and make those details up. Hero has gotten fairly decent at it by now, but it was an inconsistent mess at the start. Honestly Hero would make a fairly decent DnD DM.

What’s your main inspiration for writing?

music! it give me a lot of ideas-

or for writing in general? i started writing cuz I needed an english tutor to help me with it in, like, 6th grade- And I kinda js rolled with the fact that I needed to get better at it and started writing then? (though it was uhm horrible so to say)

I think 90% of what I write is inspired by some sort of vibe I got from music and decided to write it down though

[curtwilde]

not anon who asked but thanks for the recs, they are very interesting.

but i just wanna add the article How Tribal India Has Held Onto Shiva by Nabarun Barooah was published in swarajya which in and of itself is shocking to me lol but the writer also seems ur bog standard rw hindunat (he recently put out an article calling joy bangla a bangladeshi islamist slogan lol)

I didn't know that about that writer. The article itself is very well researched and has done a good job of compiling the information which is otherwise not that readily available - which is why I put it in the list despite it being Swarajya.

[sorcerymuses]

I have a question about the pods. Are they hair or plants?

ooh I get to talk about the pods! In a way they're both, actually.

Them being purely hair doesn't make sense to me. So the way I write things, the pods are plants! The outer petals look like hair and they generally grow in the shape of Troll hair. And the plants do have similar properties to Troll hair in that they're bigger on the inside...

This comes from the fact that Troll hair is used in the process of growing the plants!

Under a cut because long info dump with some of my Pod Lore...

Now, the Pods in the Tree depended on how old the family home was. because in the cage they just didn't have the means to grow new pods, but they didn't like repurposing Plant Pods as they felt it was disrespecting the previous owners and the Pop tribe had this policy of repressing the bad things, so abandoned pods would actually get removed from the Tree...either near the cage (families that were sacrificed) or to an empty branch (unexpected deaths) with twine provided by the Bergens.

Pods for new family groups were mostly built from wood scraps and leaves from the Tree. The 'electricity' and plumbing in these new pods was provided through the old Plant Pod vines.

The only real Plant Pods that were left in the Tree were the Royal Cluster and the Diggers. And even in the Royal Cluster there were Artificial Pods. Viva's pod was an Artificial Pod. The Royal family didn't actually usually do the whole 'moving out on your own' thing, but as she got older and Peppy banned her best friends (Mostly Clay but all of his brothers were included in that) from the main Royal Pod, they had the separate pod built so she could spend time with them. otherwise the Royal Cluster consisted of the Family Pod (same size as the Diggers' Pod, meant to hold a decent sized family and attendants), the Council Pod, the Royal Library (where the private documents that were for ruler and council eyes only existed), the Chapel, the Music Vault, and Viva's Pod. The Royal Cluster was just out of immediate sight of the Gate.

The Diggers (formerly Watchers) were situated on a bare branch in direct view of the gate. Unlike other pods, it was attached to the trunk of the Tree rather than a vine, positioned in such a way as to be just out of reach of predators, and as old as the Tree itself. Now, the family's always been big, since even before the Bergens were a problem. In days past, they were literally in charge of the tribe's security, the only role on the council that was inherited even! (because of the size of the pod and the seeming importance of it, the Bergens situated the gate of the cage in plain view of it thinking that was the royal pod)

Both the Royal Pod and the Diggers' Pod were large 'doubles' looking like a normal pod situated on top of a slightly larger pod, both having similar layouts even. The bottom floor being an open floor plan with the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Second tier housed five bedrooms, a communal closet, and the bathroom. Like single family Pods, there was a smaller tier hidden in the point of the Pod, housing the Master Bedroom where the head of the family lived. While single family Pods were smaller, generally holding one room alongside the open floorplan...the upper tier in these generally housed the master bedroom and the bathroom.

Plant Pods have windows and doors, of course, but it is possible to cause them to open completely, as the plants are similar to closed flowers, and expose the entire interior, this was rarely used except to bring home large furniture that couldn't fit through the front door.

(Pictured are the three pod types, from left to right: the Diggers' Pod, the Royal Pod, and a Normal Pod)

Now, in the woods and free of the limits they had in the cage, the Pop Trolls now have all Plant Pods again! 'Pod Design' comes in by molding special clay miniatures of the planned layout and putting it inside the growing plant, which will then expand and the Pod will grow to have that layout.

After the Last Trollstice, more Pop Trolls have begun to live in mushroom houses (homes carved from large mushrooms) or even Bergen Dollhouses (these were brought as a peace offering from Gristle and are mainly used for businesses that double as homes like Satin and Chenille's Boutique)

The Pop Trolls have electricity, and running water, as I mentioned before. Unlike the other tribes, that use geothermal energy and plumbing that we would be familiar with in the real world...the Pods and Mushroom Houses use Photosynthesis to provide energy and water.

The colours of Plant Pods come from the design miniature! The clay they use for 'building' pods, is a simple mixture of dirt, plant material (dried plant 'meat' and the juice/sap from Pod Vines), and hair. Whether that hair is from an individual Troll (head of the family) or from a Bond Group (two or more married Trolls). Hair from multiple Trolls will cause the Pod to have a multicoloured pattern. Meanwhile Artificial Pods in the Tree were coloured with paint.

A Woman's Place - Part 2

Sammy blinked. She felt very funny. She felt dizzy. Dizzy, ditzy girl. The screen in front of her was dark. She was sure she’d been watching something on it just a moment ago, but now she couldn’t remember what it was! She was so silly sometimes. Silly girl, she thought. Silly Sammy.

Suddenly, James deposited a caddy full of cleaning supplies down on the sofa next to her. She looked up into his handsome face, and felt butterflies fluttering in her tummy. She loved her boyfriend so, so much.

“How are you feeling, baby girl?” he asked gently, and Sammy felt a pleasant tingle run down her spine.

“Good!” she chirped. “I wuv you!” Her face reddened. “Love you,” she corrected, looking down meekly at her knees. She felt very shy all of a sudden.

James chuckled and pulled her to her feet, wrapping his arms around her in a tight cuddle. “You’re so cute,” he said, turning his head to plant a kiss on her cheek. “I love you too, sweet girl.”

Sammy let out a happy sigh and nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck. She liked cuddles. He held her for some time, and she enjoyed the sensation of being wrapped up, smothered, safe in his arms. Then she felt a sharp pinch on her bottom and she let out a girlish shriek that made him laugh.

They broke apart, and Sammy pouted at her boyfriend. He’d pinched her bottom! Was that okay? She had a feeling she didn’t like that… but she couldn’t help smiling when she saw how happy James looked. She was okay with men pinching her bottom if it made them happy. But then she frowned. Was that right? Her head was starting to hurt from thinking so much, so she looked behind her at the cleaning caddy James had dumped on the sofa.

“Are we going to clean the house?” she asked, confused.

He chuckled. “No, silly girl,” he said, giving her a pat on her bottom. “That’s your job.”

Her job. Yes. That sounded right. For a moment, Sammy felt as though she might have been about to protest. The words were almost in her throat. But then there was a tingling in her head, and she remembered. An image of a big-breasted woman scrubbing the floor on her knees flashed into her mind. Her boyfriend was right. Cleaning was for girls. Women’s work.

She nodded slowly, and James patted her bottom again. “Then let’s get you dressed, princess.”

Sammy looked down at herself in puzzlement. “But… I am dressed.”

James chuckled again, and said, “Dressed for cleaning the house, silly! You have to wear your special uniform, remember?”

Sammy didn’t remember, but she didn’t want her boyfriend to think she was stupid, so she nodded.

“Good girl,” he said, and Sammy’s pussy tingled.

James started taking her clothes off, but when she raised her hands to help him, he smacked them away lightly. “No, no, Sammy. Let me do that.”

So Sammy stood there obediently, feeling a little silly, while her boyfriend stripped away her clothes one by one. First her shoes and socks, then her jeans and her shirt, until she was left standing in her underwear. He walked behind her to unclasp her bra, and when her breasts spilled out, large and perky, he reached around to squeeze them so tightly it was almost painful.

Sammy felt her nipples harden, and she gasped and pressed her thighs together as her pussy pulsed with pleasure. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, James was kneeling in front of her, hooking his fingers into the waistband of her undies and gliding them down her slender legs.

Sammy’s face was flushed with embarrassment as much as arousal. Something didn’t feel right. Why was she not allowed to dress herself? And should she be naked like this while her boyfriend was fully clothed? But then a sudden imagine popped into her mind of James in a stylish suit and herself prancing about in the nude with her bare boobs and bottom jiggling. Nakie girl, she thought. Silly, nakie baby.

She giggled. It was a high-pitched, gurgling giggle that made her blush to the roots of her hair. Grown-ups didn’t giggle like that. But was she a grown-up? She wasn’t sure. Maybe she was just a silly little nakie girl.

“There’s a happy baby!” James cooed.

Baby. There was that word again. But was that okay? Of course it was. Boyfriends called their girlfriends ‘baby’ all the time, didn’t they? Sammy smiled and giggled again. She was his baby.

“Now let’s get you into your special uniform, sweetie,” said James, and he guided her over to the shopping bags he’d brought home with him with a hand on her bare bottom.

Sammy smiled dimly. It felt nice to be led around. It felt right.

“Look what I got for you, sweetheart!” James announced brightly, pulling a skimpy black and white maid’s outfit out of one of the bags and holding it up.

Another image flashed in Sammy’s mind – a woman in a maid’s outfit just like this one, tottering around doing the cleaning with her wet slit exposed. Her own pussy wettened at the sight of the outfit. Slutty maid, she thought. Dumb whore.

“Fank you!” she blurted, and then she blushed again. “I mean, thank you.”

But her boyfriend didn’t seem to care that she’d said her words a little funny. In fact, he chuckled and tickled her under the chin, making her giggle again. Giggly girl. Happy baby.

“I’m glad you like it, little one,” he said, his eyes glittering. “Now, arms up!”

Sammy did as she was told (and wasn’t it so nice to do as she was told?), and allowed her boyfriend to dress her in her new maid’s uniform. The top just about covered her breasts, but did nothing to stop them jiggling about with every movement, and the skirt was so short that it didn’t even reach below the curve of her bottom, so Sammy found herself flashing her pussy when she took a step. Just like the maid.

“Not so fast, sweetheart,” said James. “You need your special undies on too.”

“Don’t want underwear!” Sammy said at once, going red again when she realised what she’d said. She sounded like a slut. Sammy the skank. “I mean…”

“You need your special undies on, princess,” James cooed, and he didn’t sound like a boyfriend anymore. His voice was sweet and gentle and dripping with condescension. He sounded more like a Daddy. “Silly Sammy needs her big girls pants on, yes she does!”

Sammy winkled her nose at his tone. “Notta baby!” she insisted.

“Of course you’re not a baby, darling,” James cooed. “That’s why you get to wear these!” And he took a pack of large, toddler-style training pants out of another of the shopping bags. “Pull-ups for my big girl!”

Sammy started at them in shock. “I’m not… I don’t…” She frowned. She didn’t wear training pants! Those were for toddlers! “This isn’t wight… right.” She was a slut. She was a silly little girl. But she couldn’t be both, could she?

“Shhh,” James crooned gently, pulling her body close to him again. “Hush now, silly girl. Silly Sammy. You’re confused. But that’s okay. Thinking is hard, isn’t it? Just let me look after you. Just let Daddy be in charge.”

Daddy. Yes. Sammy thought she could hear again that strange, tinkling music she’d heard somewhere once before. Just let Daddy be in charge. Leave everything to him. She was just silly Sammy. What did she know about anything? She was only a woman. Only a girl.

A vacant smile spread over her face, and she barely noticed Daddy sliding her pull-ups up her legs. “There we go, sweetheart,” he murmured gently. “All dressed! What a good girl you were!”

“Good girl!” Sammy chirped in agreement.

“Now, go and clean the house, Sammy,” said Daddy. “Be a good little maid.” And he smacked her sharply on her padded bottom to send her on her way.

So Sammy got to work cleaning the house, vacuuming the floors, scrubbing the surfaces, standing on tiptoe to do all the dusting. It took quite a long time, because Daddy kept coming up to grope her tits or ass, to kiss her deeply and force his tongue into her mouth, or to shove his hand down the front of her pull-ups to “check for wee-wees”. But good girls let their boyfriends play with their bodies. Sammy could feel his eyes on her lightly bouncing breasts and the flashes of her training pants as she tottered about the house. Daddy’s property.

Something still nagged at her though, some feeling that this wasn’t right. Daddy was doing something to her. Objectifying, that was the word. He was treating her like an object. But she wasn’t an object. Was she?

She squirmed in place in the living room, having just finished the polishing. Daddy was off in another room. Should she really be doing this? Was this all women were? Ditzy maids who needed their Daddies? Then she realised she was still squirming. In fact, she was practically dancing on the spot, hopping from foot to foot with a hand pressed firmly to her padded crotch. Sammy gasped. She had to go potty!

The words spilled past her lips before she could even think about them. “DADDY!” Sammy cried at the top of her lungs. “I NEED MY POTTY!”

Help a queer family of disabled nerds

Hey my name is Dante, I live in the Midwest with three of my best friends. We have four cats, one of which is my babyman whom I love very dearly.

His name is Latke Library Card Mango (LLCM). He's very orange and he's the light of my boyfriend, Kris, and I's life.

Cat pics are great right? Have a few.

A few months ago, latkes chronic bladder stones condition acted up which resulted in two emergency vet visits and a week long stay with his actual vet to get the stone removed.

It was the size of a chickpea.

Here's a photo of his post surgery when he had a nakie tummy. He was very very happy to see us.

He's since recovered, but the cost of this put us back around 1300 dollars in total. He's now on a special diet with rather pricey food to prevent this from happening but it might still act up eventually.

We've paid down some of his debt, but the interest is making it become more and more as we try to pay it down.

On top of this, our pipes backed up into our basement and refused to work suddenly a few weeks ago. We live in a house that is over a century old, and the clay pipes keep getting roots growing into them that causes them to not drain.

The roto had to come out and high pressure the roots out to clear them (which required expensive equipment), This put us back another grand.

To add to everything, our 700+ auto insurance bill is due in November, which is the worst time for this bill to need due, but both myself and Kris drive over ten miles to work during different shifts on opposite ends of town- neither of our jobs have public transit anywhere near them.

We are currently barely making ends meet-

I am a lunch lady at a public high school. I love my job. I feed kids who possibly don't even eat at home some days. I do work I am proud of.

However, I can only work around 25 hours a week without risking losing my insurance as a disabled person. My job does not have longer hour positions available, and I am too disabled to work more than this without ruining my body like I have done in the past.

I have been going without buying groceries out of fear that what little money I have in my account will be needed in an emergency. I will be out of work for a week this month, around Thanksgiving, and during Xmas break- unpaid due to me working in a school. Me being out also means no guaranteed meal every day.

Kris works in a factory. He is currently working 55+ hours a week to make what we can to pay off the bills and keep our house. He only has one and a half knees that hurt all the damn time and is barely eating either just to afford everything. His factory keeps calling for sudden shutdown weeks with little notice at the worst times, and he's the main breadwinner in the house for us.

The other two in our household, one is severely disabled and can barely work 10 hr/week (he is waiting on hearing back to receive SSI) on top of having multiple medical appointments a week to figure out what is wrong with his body and why it keeps failing. The other is a freelance artist who is working her butt off to make money while carting the previous to appointments nearly every day. She is full up on commissions at the moment, but when she opens them I'll reblog her posts.

I really didn't want to make this post. I hate asking for help. But we are drowning and there's no sign of land. None of us can afford to live on our own, nor can we move back in with our parents for various reasons.

All I'm asking for is some help. I don't care how much. Five dollars is five dollars. Five dollars is half an hour less we have to kill ourselves to make ends meet.

Even if we don't make the full amount, every dollar will help us get a bit closer to paying this stuff down so we can afford gas and regular grocery trips again instead of having to save up to go once a month like we are currently doing.

Our goal is 2000 dollars.

Yes, this is the high amount. I do not believe we will ever reach it. I can hope we can raise this much at some point.

But for now that's the dream number.

It's the number that is looming over our heads, telling us to pay up or lose our home.

It's not something we need this very moment, but just what we need in the next few months to be able to afford living without destroying our body or working three jobs/ridiculous hours.

We thank anyone who can spare a few bucks to help us, and if you can't afford it just pass this post along to someone who might be able to.

Please send as friend/family if you can, PayPal is threatening to withhold money sent as transactions now if you receive over a certain amount.

This includes sending things through my ko-fi account- so here's the preferred methods:

"oh fu- YES! Wreck my Pussy Oppa! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! You're better than my boyfriend's tiny dick" Naky moaned as you fuck her hard.

How do we get here, you ask?

You are Bibi's boyfriend and you have known Naky since you were little and yes you three grow together in the neighborhood. But you have developed feelings for Bibi since idk forever?

Yet here you are fucking her sister hot, needy, pink and a lil bit hairy, too much but hey it's a tight love hole.

"is my pussy better than my sister, Oppa?" She asks while getting bent over into Bibi's desk.

"isn't -FUCK THAT'S THE SPOT UGH- isn't my pussy tighter than that loose bitch" her head now shifts into her shoulder and watching you.

Yes indeed you have fuck Bibi so many times but Naky's tightness is a step than her sister.

"shut up you cheating slut, bet you've masturbated yourself from our sex, you wanted to join since forever ago right? You naughty cheating slut, here is your fucking punishment" you said while slapping her ass then grip her sides hard the you thrust harder, faster to give her the hardest fuck she will ever get.

"oh yes! Fuck! Harder! Ugh! Fuck fuck fuck fuck, fuck this slutty cheating tight little cunt Oppa! Fuck! Your dick is so full in me fuck fuck fuck fuck!" Her head hung low but her moans gets higher.

"Fuck fill me Oppa, bet my-Ugh fuck!- bet my sister never let you release inside huh? Uhm" Your hips thrusts harder and faster from her words. Yes even though you and Bibi have sex almost everyday, cumming inside her was never a preference for Bibi.

"shut up you slut! If you want it so much then take it" your thigh crashed into her creamy crotch and soft ass then you cum inside her.

"fuck yeah, I'm so full of your warm cum inside me Oppa, been wanting this since you both fuck on backstage"

Your gaze starts to blur as Naky cunt drips glob of cum, as you take your breath

"What the fuck is going on in my room"

Naky and You snap into the door

"Bibi hon-honey I can ex- explain" you said with ragged breath

"Unnie, why didn't you tell me your boyfriend has such big dick?" Naky says out of breath, still bent over against bibi desk. "Why would I tell you about that you got your own boyfriend?" Bibi begins scolding her sister as you stand there confused why she isn't yelling at you for fucking her sister.

"Come on, unnie, we always share everything. Why can't we just share oppa big dick " Naky pouting begging her big sis to share you with her. The siblings begin to argue over you, and you could do it to just watch.

Suddenly, they both stopped arguing and looked over at you "Nakyoung-ya I have an idea, let's see who can make cum him faster" the sister pushes you down to the bed and gathering around your dick getting straight to work, bibi focus on your dick bobbing her head up and down while naky focus on your balls sucking and kissing them getting it all wet.

All you could do is sit there and let them have their way with you. "Oppa, which mouth feels better on your big dick mine or unnie" You couldn't lie naky mouth was doing things to you "fuck honey I'm sorry but naky mouth just feels so good" bibi pushes naky mouth off your balls and gets on top of you, "How about i remind you how much you love this pussy then" bibi pulling off her panties and slides your slick dick into her needy cunt.

Bibi riding your dick her ass slamming down boobs bouncing. She pulls off her shirt so you can get a full view of her bouncy boobs. You grab and squeeze them as she goes down your dick, you look over to your side seeing naky finger herself watching you two fuck, bibi grabbing your face turning it back to her "focus on me honey let me show you how much more of a woman I am than nakyoung" bibi picking up the pace fucking herself faster on your dick, you knew you weren't gonna last much longer with her going at this pace.

"Fuck.. bibi.. honey I'm getting close" normally she would get off your dick and let you finish on her boobs or face but this time she's not getting off, "Fuck.. ah.. honey.. if you don't get off I'm gonna cum inside you" bibi not caring if you cum inside her this time all she wanted to prove that she owns you and naky couldn't compare to her

"Cum inside me baby fill me up, I need it all inside me honey!" Bibi cheering you on to finish bringing you closer to the edge "Do it honey I know you've always wanted to breed me" before you could say anything your dick explodes and paints her insides "Fuuuuck that's it fuck I'm so full" bibi moans feeling your dick pump her hole full of cum. She hopes off your limp dick, your cum leaking out her pussy, "omg oppa you fucking filled unnie up"

[javaghoul]

What kinds of TV shows do you think some of the TG characters would have liked as kids?

ooo what a good question. There's gonna be a lot of western TV shows (and non-tv things) here because it's what I know.

Obviously Ayato was into TMNT. He loved Raphael.He "related" to him (aka thought he was cool). By proxy Touka also watched her some sewer-dwellin anthropomorphic turtles too. Used to damage each other re-enacting it.

I'm currently having a Moomin phase, and I think Kaneki, Touka (when Ayato would let her have the TV), and surprisingly, Akira, would enjoy this weird-but-comforting show. I think Akira would be drawn to Snufkins' outlook on life. Kaneki would be freaked out by Stinky.

Hide would've loved the shit out of Gravity Falls. He would've picked up on the Easter Eggs and lore without coming across it online first. It's hard not to say "everyone would love this show" because obviously.

Uta:The Exorcist, Adventure Time, Poltergeist, Halloween franchise, Over the Garden Wall

I get the impression that Naki would be confused by a lot of standard kids TV shows, but really enjoy and relate to gangster movies. Casino and Scarface babysat him as a kid.

I doubt Yomo had a TV 🥺 I can't even imagine him watching TV???

Itori would've lived for k-dramas and also anime like Fruits Basket, Orange

Saiko screams Pop Team Epic to me, Sailor Moon, Adventure Time...

Anon, I had to think over this A LOT, because I instantly forgot every kids TV show ever made lmao. Idk how believable this is. What do you think?

Some of the shows are intended for adults/teens (but who really sticks to that).

And also - does anyone have any ideas for Yomo? Does he just not watch TV ever?

BEST FRIENDS

Paring: Kim Nakyoung, Kim Minjeong x fem!reader

Summary: you two best friends are in love with you.

Warnings: ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE.

Word count: 1,8k

MASTERLIST

Nakyoung and Winter were best friendly friends. If you saw one, you could bet the other was around.

They looked like everything: almost identical personalities, the same tastes, the same hobbies. They played guitar, watched TV wrestling, and loved to watch the stars at dawn.

And maybe there was the problem: they were too similar.

You entered their lives in the second year of high school. The connection was instant, faster than anyone expected.

With just over two weeks, I had already won both.

Now, at university, you see yourself in a dilemma that seems to have no way out.

Winter and Nakyoung like you. The same way. With the same intensity. No favoritism, no reserve.

Each gesture, every detail - all in you is important to them.

They want you. They need you.

And you know that. But pretend not to notice when they start small disputes: who will carry your backpack, who you will hug first, or which lap will support your right leg.

You avoid choosing. Because you know that choosing one means from the other's heart.

And destroy a friendship that takes years to build.

And you don't want that.

So you pretend nothing is happening. Pretends not to see.

Sometimes it seems purposeful. Sometimes they simply go crazy. Like now, for example:

"I already said, the s/n goes with me today. That was the combined." Nakyoung spoke seriously, holding the helmet hard.

"But she was with you yesterday!" Winter replied, crossing his arms. She already wore the helmet.

It was a silly fight. Who would take you on the bike. Even if the three were going to the same place.

But what they wanted was contact. Feel you there. Having a chance to accelerate just to make you hold stronger on your waists.

But these small fights are starting to get out of control.

"You will really be arguing who will take me, as if I were a princess climbing on the prince's horse?" You ask, crossing your arms.

The two turned to you almost at the same time. Like two puppies listening to the owner's call.

"Who do you want to go with?" Nakyoung stepped forward.

"Yeah, with whom?" Winter also advanced.

"I'm going with Winter, just because yesterday I went with you, Naky." You respond, walking to the long -haired girl.

From the corner of his eye, he sees Nakyoung roll his eyes. Winter smiles, without making any effort to hide.

"Let's go soon." You mumbled, taking the helmet from Minjeong's hands and putting it on the head.

The next episode happened in the university cafeteria, when you commented that you were going to sleep at Nakyoung's house.

Winter freaked out, as expected.

"But you never slept in my house!" She complained, crossing her arms.

"I know, but it was Naky's sister who invited me." You answered, shrugging. "Bibi insisted a lot."

"True, she said she would kill you if it wasn't." Nakyoung commented with a smile, his mouth full of food, inflated cheeks.

"Even so, it's not fair." Winter turned his face to the side, sulky.

You released a laugh. The pout on her lips was almost irresistible.

"I can sleep at your house tomorrow. Could it be?"

She turned slowly, staring at you for a second.

"I feel a little better." He sighed, eating again.

That same day you arrived at Nakyoung's house shortly after early night.

She was wearing a black tank top and sweatpants. Her short and short hair appeared little, because she had a burrow.

"It took time to arrive." She pointed out with that warm smile.

"I was organizing some things indoors." You smile and pull the girl to a hug, then deposit a kiss on her cheek.

"Come, let me get it." She took the backpack from her back and took it to her room.

Halfway you were stopped by Bibi that was in the kitchen.

“Y/n, I'm glad you arrived, I couldn't stand it anymore complaining about the delay.

"Lie!"

You laughed at the small interaction before leaning on the counter, wanting to see what the oldest did.

"Unnie, what is this?" He asked curiously.

"Gimbap. Naky said it was your favorite.

You put your hand in your surprise mouth for her commitment to make you feel comfortable.

"I don't want to do work, I didn't need to." You shook your hands as Bibi smiled like nothing.

After eating and resting in the living room, talking out with Bibi, you and Nakyoung drove to her bedroom.

You threw yourself on the girl's bed while she sat in her gamer chair a little next door.

"I think I like your sister more than you." You suddenly released to see the girl's reaction.

"Of course." Nakyoung just laughed before turning around, taking the TV control and calling.

You fixed on the bed and pulled your backpack.

Nakyoung looked at the TV looking for a channel, but by the corner of her eye she noticed every movement of her.

You take your sleeping clothes and get up.

"I'll change my clothes." You warn Nakyoung that you agree.

She expected you to leave the bedroom and go to the bathroom, but no, you start taking your clothes right there. Revealing his panties and bra, revealing his perfect skin in the eyes of Nakyoung.

The girl's face warms a little, she turns to the TV, swallowed her dry while trying not to look again.

It was a temptation by which he struggled to control himself.

Nakyoung looked back at you when he realized he was already dressed.

"What are you looking for?" You asked, stopping beside her.

Like a snap, Nakyoung woke up from the trance and looked at you, this time focused on his face.

"I don't know. Something silly so we can watch." She looked thoughtful, changing channels again.

You smiled and sat on the tip of the bed, watching.

"Do you have any idea?" He asked turning around.

"Put a drawing." Gave a smile when talking.

Nakyoung agreed, leaving the first one that appeared: Steven Universe.

The girl got up from her chair and nestled near you. The shoulders leaning against.

"Wow, I loved this so much when I was smaller." You said getting ready, laying your head on the girl's belly as she wrapped her arm.

No hurry. They were just two friends sleeping together and watching drawing. And so it was.

The next day when you arrived at school, Winter bombed you with questions.

I wanted to know what they did. When they went to sleep. They woke up at dawn because of the rain they had. All.

You were scared. She looked desperate. It was easily remarkable.

You answered the simple while Nakyoung watched, with a smile on her face.

The girl still mentioned the fact that you - in the middle of the night - clung to her body as if it depended on your life.

There was no denying, and when he woke up he was really embracing Nakyoung.

Listening to that Winter's face was red in a few seconds. She said nothing, but it was possible to see how she was tense, how she squeezed her fist -shaped hands, or as she sighed for everything she saw ahead.

Still, after a while, Winter reminded you that I would sleep at her house tonight. And she wanted it to be better than sleeping at Naky's house, but she didn't say that out loud, kept in her mind.

She made a point of finding you out of the last class. He waited against the grid near the main exit, had his cell phone in his hand, but his eyes only sought for you.

"Ready?" She asked with a smile that tried to look casual.

"Yes." You answered, adjusting the backpack on the back.

"The bike is there." She pointed with her chin and turned to walk in front, but not before she looked quickly to Nakyoung across the courtyard.

Nakyoung returned his eyes, cold, with his arms crossed.

The way to Winter's house was silent at first. The wind, the snoring of the motorcycle and the warmth of her hands holding firmly in the handlebars were the only sounds. You hugged her around the waist, as always.

When they arrived, she took the helmet in a hurry, shaking her brown and loose hair.

"My mother is not." She commented, pulling her hand.

"The house is all ours today.”

You entered her room for the first time. Unlike Nakyoung, the space was lighter, with hanging lights and posters of bands glued to the walls. A small projector pointed to the white wall, and in the corner, a double bed with a lot of pillows thrown.

"So… what do you want to do?" Winter asked, leaning against the door, as if trying to contain anxiety.

You put the backpack on the floor and looked around, smiling.

"I think I just want to be with you. Like yesterday, with Nakyoung." He answered sincere, sitting on the bed.

She approached, still in silence, and sat next to her.

"You like her, right?" Winter asked suddenly, staring at the floor.

You hesitated. The answer was in his throat, but any direction would hurt.

"I don't know, Winter." Replied trying to dodge. "I like you both."

"But not the same way." She said quietly.

You stared at her. Winter's eyes were teary, but she smiled.

"I don't want you to feel pressured. I just ..." She took a deep breath.

"I just want you to know that I love you. From the day I saw you in that room alone, trying to find out where your class was."

His chest squeezed. Winter has always been more impulsive, more transparent. It didn't hide anything. And now she was there, wide open in front of her.

"Minjeong ..." You started, but she shook her head.

"No need to answer. Not now. I just wanted you to know."

She got up and went to the projector. Pointed to you with the control:

"Drawing, movie or series?"

You smiled, feeling the knot in your throat.

"Surprise me"

And then she put your name.

During the movie, you didn't talk much. Just divided the blanket. And at some point, without realizing it, you had your head on her shoulder. And she, with her face against the top of her head, as if that were the most natural place in the world.

But you knew it wasn't. He knew he was about to hurt someone. Or maybe both.

And the worst of all? You may also get hurt on the way.

In between bites, Seoyeon reaches across the table to hold your hand. “I'm glad you got to come out, babe,” she says with half a mouthful of mint chocolate ice cream. “I know you're still tired from the week.” 

“Psh, as if I'd rather laze around at home alone than be here with you.” You know that line is corny, but it never fails to put a smile on her face. It's worth every meeting, every deadline, every performance audit to hold her hand on the way home from a nice night out with Yoon Seoyeon. 

As if on cue, she giggles at your reply, “Alright, but I wanna stay over for the rest of the weekend. You deserve to laze around at home, so let me look after you, ‘kay?” You have a feeling it isn't up for debate, so you just accept her offer. “Thanks, baby. I do need the rest.”

"I told you to just let me carry the bags. I'm strong! See?" She flexes her muscles to show you just how strong she is, but with the most adorable face you've ever seen getting puffy trying to look intimidating, it only undermines her point.

On the other hand, the seven shopping bags taking up the rest of the seats in the booth do look heavy now that you see all of them, and it doesn't help that you know what exactly is inside of each one. On the other hand, you do know that Seoyeon is actually strong and can take more than just any average girl.

Just then, her phone vibrates, and as her eyes scan over the screen, a different kind of smile graces her cheeks. “Lookie, me and Naky look so good in this one.” She shows you a video of her and Nakyoung in the practice room rehearsing a sexy kind of dance, “She does that thing with her hand that I like here. You know, that thing you do to me?”

From her arm around Seoyeon’s shoulder, Nakyoung's hand travels to the back of her neck and pulls your girlfriend in until they're face-to-face. It's the same look in her eye that Seoyeon has when you get under the covers with her–anticipating something she can't possibly predict. Her lips part ever so slightly right in front of Nakyoung's, and neither of them are wise to notice.

“Am I supposed to be jealous? What's up with that?” you ask, eyebrow raised, smirk on your lips, and tone filled with sarcasm as best as you can to hide real doubt. As the video plays on and Nakyoung's hands reach more and more of your girlfriend's body, you feel a strange and gross kind of heat rising in your chest.

“Nah, if anything, I have to keep her away from you. She said she likes you too.” The video ends and Seoyeon finally puts her phone away. “I'm honestly nervous she'd be able to steal you away from me.”

“No way in hell, babe. You know why?” 

“Because you don't have time to cheat?” Her answer makes you chuckle, the apparent honesty even more so. 

“Besides that.”

“Uhh, no idea.”

“Simple. She's not you.” Wrap your fingers around her free hand again, make sure she feels secure. Nobody should ever have that sort of doubt when it comes to love, especially not your Seoyeon. 

“Thanks, babe. I love you,” she says, relieved, and with mint chocolate smeared all over her top lip. She tries letting go to grab a napkin, but you beat her to it, lean over the table and give her a peck instead. 

“You're lucky you're cute. Mint chocolate, I swear to God…”

“Oh, shut up. And I still haven't gotten my ‘I love you too.’”

You win some, you lose some, and sometimes you're not sure. Whatever this is, though, you wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love you too, Seoyeon.”

And of course she picks this moment to tease you. A mischievous smirk puffs against her cheeks, "Mmm, not good enough," before she finally finished her waffle cone.

"What then?" You finish yours too and crumple the wrapper along with hers.

"Secret. I'll tell you tonight. I take care of you, you take care of me." She fires off a wink and bolts out of the booth, taking with her two and a half shopping bags. Her classic "chase me," her own special trademark "I love you" that only she could ever tell you in this way.

Frantically gathering the rest of the shopping bags she left behind, you stumble out of the booth after her, the only proper "I love you too."
