What kind of words||Ruby and Shin

@silvereyedheroine

Shin entered the Oakville Academy’s library and was immediately in awe. His old school didn’t have a library this grand. Countless books lined the walls, their titles illuminated by the huge windows. Shin took a moment to take a deep breath and take in the elegance of the building. It was an amazing building.

English dictionary and a pencil in one hand and notebook in the other, Shin approached the rows of books. He was hoping to be able to find the poetry section, but that quickly proved to be a daunting task. The bookcases were towering and Shin found himself lost in a sea of books. As he looked for any help - some signs, or at this point, even the exit - he spotted a girl in the next row.

"Excuse me," he started, moving towards her. "Could you direct me to the poetry section?"

sailingaway:

The song finally cut off, leaving the eerie silence of the station around them. The usual chatter was gone, the only sounds that could be heard were the whisperings of some, the occasional camera snap of a phone that was forgotten to be put on silent, and the usual train operations. All eyes were on the two idols, and even those that didn’t know who they were craned their necks to get a better view of what was going on.

“Shin, we should go practice our lines elsewhere. It seems that we’re making les princesses worry,” Keigo said loudly, even directing a wink towards the nearest girl. Hopefully this was enough to make their fans less worried and make the crowd disperse. Although confused expressions remained on some people’s faces, it seemed to do the trick. Still, Keigo wouldn’t be surprised if he saw some pictures of this in a magazine in a few days time.

Closer to Shin this time, he whispered in his former coworker’s ear, “I don’t live too far from here. We can find some more privacy in one of the common rooms.” The staff at the hotel knew him well. After all, he had been living there for a while now, ordering for room service to bring him food often, along with constantly renting out dance rooms for private rehearsals along with the weight room. They were all really friendly and understanding, although Keigo never let them get past small talk.

He headed towards the stairs that led above ground, only glancing back momentarily to see if Shin was following. He had no idea what he was going to say to Shin once they got their, much less during the small walk to the hotel that promised to be awkward. Although Keigo had always been the more outgoing one, he hoped that Shin would start the conversation.

Shin nodded at Keigo's words. In all of his own personal excitement at seeing the other, he had forgotten all about propriety. Scandals weren't as impactful over here as they were in Japan, but it was still better to keep your head down and avoid them.

Shin followed Keigo to his hotel in a daze. A proper reconciliation between the two of them could lead lots of nice things: collaborations, meetups and deep conversations into the night. He stopped himself there. Despite the fact that he wanted all of those things, there was no guarantee that Keigo wanted the same. However, he wanted to take the fact that Keigo had invited him over to his hotel to talk as a good sign.

Shin followed Keigo up the stairs. As they exited the subway station, the fresh air blew Shin's hair away from his face, inspiring him. Maybe they could start talking before they even reached the hotel.

"Keigo," started Shin. "I'm happy you're working here in Bellevue. You're someone who belings in the light."

Something about the colour blue had always calmed Shin. His hair was blue. His eyes were blue. Fans that cheered for him held blue-coloured Dorica. Blue was the colour of the sea; the colour of water and life. And as he paid for his entry into Belleview Aquarium, blue was the colour of the ticket that he was handed. 

As he entered, he glanced around at the large tanks holding dozens of species of sea life. Shin was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect Bellevue to have such a high quality aquarium.

As he glanced upwards at the sharks swimming overhead, Shin sighed. “Nature truly is spectacular.” He mused to himself loudly.

Bellevue Aquarium, hm? Red hadn’t really thought about going to an aquarium before. In fact, he’s never even been to one. Should he really go, though? He had some spare time during the summer, so why should it be a bother? It was a day outside too since it was really nice weather. Maybe he could get some vanilla ice cream too…

Ah, screw it.

Red was already on his way, backpack in tow. He approached the doors and paid for his entry, now being surrounded by giant panes of fish and other marine creatures. His heart skipped almost instantly by the astounding scenery. This really was an adventure.

He just remained gawking in amazement, looking above at the giant sharks that floated overhead.

Character Archetype Quiz

( WHAT IS YOUR ARCHETYPE? FROM HERE. )

your archetype is the master.

(disclaimer: the master archetype is not a reflection of what a horrible person you are. ie: jyn erso and mary talbot are both extremely intelligent and driven people because they use their traits for good--although mary's character can be quite ambiguous in the earlier seasons)

traits: determined, obsessive, powerful, charismatic, confident, rash, challenging

the master is most commonly used to symbolize the antagonist, or the upper hand. while they aren't inherently the bad guys, their determination and ability to plan ahead can be twisted into something akin to evil. while that is a strong possibility in literature, their charisma and confidence can be utilized to create a strong idea and even an idea for the good side. many masters were the catalysts of revolutions, sparking hope and motivation. masters are extremely rash in their decisions, no matter how meticulous their planning may be. they tend to follow their instincts, and it's a good thing that they're so quick on their feet, otherwise, many of the challenges they face might have become uglier than expected.

fictional characters that are masters: tom riddle, jyn erso, thetis, mary talbot, irene adler, moriarty, tyrion lannister, cersei lannister, the joker

Shin observed the other’s reaction with great interest. It wasn’t often that he got to observe a fan’s reaction up close. He hadn’t done a mall tour with BIGDREAMS, so it was the first time he had ever really seen someone react to his singing in Bellevue.

The male’s reaction intrigued Shin. It was perhaps the most interesting he had ever seen, moving from surprise to applause. He had never been applauded for doing anything other than his job, so the other’s actions amazed him, giving him a warm feeling.

“I know the song very well, considering I wrote it.” Shin smiled softly at the male. Despite the sad incident that caused him to write the song, it made him happy to see how much people enjoyed it. Without this song, he wouldn’t have been able to emotionally overcome the work centered mindset and start enjoying working in a unit and with other idols. 

He gave a small chuckle at the other’s question. “I am Japanese. I suppose you are as well?”

???

Shin swung his schoolbag onto his shoulder. Studies were always an important part of his life, whether it was schoolwork, a script or even poetry for inspiration. However, as his schoolwork became more and more challenging, the more Shin realized that he couldn’t balance all this work. Although he enjoyed the challenge, learning English and doing all his schoolwork in it caused him to take a lot longer than usual. Despite having enjoyed watching foreign dramas, they hadn’t given him the English vocabulary necessary to properly express himself.

Taking out his poetry notebook, he wrote a few words before closing it again. Writing an English song seemed like too hard of a goal to reach now, but Shin knew that he would be able to achieve it someday. Almost as though reaffirming his goal, he could hear “2032″ in the distance. Shin slowly mouthed the words he had written down what now felt like a long time ago before realizing that someone was actually singing the song. He stopped walking, too shocked to register the other person colliding into him.

The male he had run into apologized, but Shin was too distracted by the fact that the other had been singing “2032″. Despite the transition into the world of professional idols, he still didn’t expect to hear his songs sung out loud in public. It was that shock that caused him to continue singing the song where the other left off.

“You are different from the other people You may not hear me say that But I look behind your heart That alone…“

His wistful tone was evident as he sang; the true meaning of this easily misunderstood song always on his mind.

Hajime was worried that he might’ve made the stranger angry when he did not responded to his apology, so the teal-haired male just stood there in tense silence.

But when the other started to sing the next part of the song, it made Hajime’s slowly grow wide, and he gasped in mild surprise.

“Wow!~ You know the song?” He asked while applauding to the man’s performance with twinkling lavender eyes. There are alot more Japanese people here in Bellevue that he has expected. Heck he even got to be with some of his fellow Yumenosaki alumni again too. Guess it’s a small world after all.

“Umm, are you Japanese too? or do you just know how to speak Japanese?”

Dream Cards || Akira and Shin

@masqueradcr

Shin fiddled with the pack of cards in his hands. It wasn’t an ordinary deck of cards, but with the cards’ blue backs, it was easy to make that mistake. Each card portrayed an outfit that Shin had worn at one of his old agency’s concerts, dating all the way back to his debut as a rookie idol. Each card had an inscribed message from a fan who had seen the concert; making them an encouraging thing to look at when he felt down. 

He wasn’t sad right now, but a wave of nostalgia had hit Shin strongly and he hadn’t been quite sure how to deal with it. The Dream Cards - as they were called at his old agency - had been stored in his coat pocket ever since he had come to Bellevue. His new concerts didn't need an extraordinary costume change or a way to catch the fans' cheers. He still remembered how amazed he was when he first used that mechanic at one of his live performances. But now... they were useless.

Having been so focused on the cards he held in his hand, Shin didn't even notice the person in front of him until he walked straight into them. The sudden force caused him to drop the cards and as they fluttered to the ground, Shin's stomach sank. It would take a long time to pick them up by himself. Bending down, he immediately began to do so, giving no thought to the person he had just run into.

“Can you get that for me?”

Platonic/Friendship Sentence Starters

“Sure,” replied Shin, following her finger to see what she wanted. He had been looking at a halibut plush, but it appeared she was pointing at a leopard plush of an unusual colour. Reaching up for it, Shin grasped it softly in his hand before handing it to her. “He looks like he deserves a noble name,” he commented.

“You look good today!”

Platonic/Friendship Sentence Starters

Shin stared at Hajime for a few seconds, surprised. What was he even wearing today? Looking down, he realized that he was still wearing the outfit that he had used to film a music video earlier. His makeup certainly hadn't come off either, considering how little time had passed since they finished filming. Shin's hair was also perfectly in place, considering how rarely it was ever messed up.

"Thank you," he spoke, a small smile on his face. "Hopefully that means the music video will be a success," Shin added quietly.

“I stole your __ I hope you don’t mind.” 

“Can I hold your hand?”

“My socks look good on you. I wondered where they went.” 

“Come here! Cuddle session!” 

“Think I can squeeze in there with you?”

“Can you open this for me?” 

“Do you need help opening that?”

“I know that look- you’re up to no good.” 

“Do you know where __ went?” 

“I will roll you up in a blanket if you refuse to go to bed.” 

[2032-blog1]

Shin felt frozen in time. The chance he had waited for so long was finally here, but all he could do was stand and stare. The sound of a phone's camera pierced his thoughts, and all of a sudden, it felt as though he was a child actor again, standing in front of the flashing cameras with his best friend by his side. Despite the fact that the 2032 scandal happened recently, the idea of another scandal possibly happening didn't even cross his mind.

The memories of being a child actor flooded his mind: memorizing lines, hanging out with Keigo after filming, posing for promotional photo shoots and the stress of filming. Being a child among adults had inspired him to mature and work hard. However, Keigo had always reminded him to relax and enjoy his childhood. If Keigo hadn't been there, the stress of filming would have gotten to him.

Once again dragged back to the present, Shin stared beyond Keigo into the crowd. Although it was filled with more curious faces rather than those filled with recognition, he knew that Keigo was right. Moving to another place would be best. That way their conversation could be unfiltered and kept out of the media.

“Kitto sou yatte nando datte ore wa kienai itami no bun mo. Imasara ni negatte shimau kedo.” His finger hovering over the pause button, Shin couldn't help but hesitate. Since it was what Keigo wanted, he should stop the currently playing song. However, the strong feelings that he had put into the song held him back. The song's original purpose had been to properly express his feelings to Keigo, but now that Keigo was here, it seemed like he didn't want to hear it. Shin clicked the pause button, the sudden silence cutting deep like a knife into his feelings.

"Keigo..." Shin's voice was full of sadness. Keigo wanted to run; he could tell as the other's expression was the same as it had been on that fateful day. The rejection of Shin's feelings pierced his heart, and Shin couldn't keep the hurt out of his voice. "Where did you want to go?"

We let go of each other’s hands | Keigo & Shin

2032:

Shin still couldn’t believe it. Keigo was standing right in front of him, not ignoring him for once. He still remembered vividly seeing Keigo for the first time in years at D-Four Productions; Keigo’s rejection had been like a slap to the face. No matter how many times he had repeatedly reached out his hand, Keigo had always ignored it. The fact that Keigo was standing still in front of him, ready to listen, made his emotions soar - even if the other wasn’t exactly looking directly at him.

As 2032 continued blasting from his phone, Shin only felt his emotions about the event amplify. “This is a song for someone I thought I’d be on a team with forever.” His own words from that performance echoed in his head; the performance where he had finally let go - or so he had thought - the burden of the past. No one would replace Keigo in his heart, but he could certainly make space for Kanade and the rest of DearDream.

His eyes followed Keigo’s every move, watching as the other bent down to pick up his phone. The conversation that had occurred on the bridge with Kanade before that performance replayed in his head. “The feelings I’d never get an answer to could only take shape in a song.” His feelings, all that he had ever wanted to tell Keigo was in the lyrics of 2032. He could still remember the concern written plainly on Kanade’s face when they had talked about the meaning of the song lyrics. “The truth is, you want to express those feelings to Keigo, don’t you?” Now that he had that opportunity, he wouldn’t waste it.

Shin took his phone from Keigo’s hands and began to examine it, leaving the song playing as he did so. His fingers quickly felt the small crack in the corner of the screen and he mentally berated himself for the mistake. At least it was a small crack, so he didn’t have to replace the phone’s screen.

“Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi, toikakete wa. Kuuhaku no Answer.”

“Keigo,” choked out Shin, his voice full of emotion as they made eye contact. For a moment, he couldn’t find the right words to say. But 2032 kept on playing, reminding Shin that even if he couldn’t find the right words, the ones that expressed his feelings were more than enough. “I- I thought I’d never see you again.” He started. There was so much more that he wanted to say, but this would be a good place to start.

Butterflies danced in his stomach, and Keigo knew he had made the wrong decision. He should have just turned around when he had the chance. Nothing good could come out of actually speaking to Shin for once, and the way he was looking at Keigo only confirmed it. They may have been friends before, back when they were both children, but now it just felt awkward. Even though running from the past wasn’t the best option, it sure seemed like the easiest one.

Why was the stupid song still playing? Why hadn’t Shin turned off his phone yet? Some people around them were already glaring, clearly annoyed by the music. Others recognized them (Shin, mainly, since Keigo was still just a rookie), and started taking pictures with their phones. The whole atmosphere felt way too tense, and the blond knew that this would not look good in the media.

He heaved out a small sigh, “If you want to talk, I think we should go someplace else. After all…” Green eyes wandered over the people at the station, who had effectively created a circle around the two. If the audience thought something dramatic was going to happen between the two boys, they were out of luck.

“Ima dokoka tooku atarashii kyou de… ano egao wo torimodoseta kana.” Wow, the lyrics were really hitting close to home now. It felt a bit like they were describing how he felt all those years ago, but especially after he had first met Yuto. For most of his life, Keigo had felt apathetic to most things. He thought that life would take away everything he cared about, so there was no point in caring in the first place. Still, Yuto opened his eyes and it made Keigo wonder whether he could really enjoy show business again one day… with Shin…

His hands shook slightly, partially due to the song and partially due to the fateful encounter. He closed his eyes, attempting to get a hold of his emotions, “Oh, and could you turn off the song?” He didn’t want to break down there and then, not in front of a crowd, and especially not in front of Shin.

Reversible→Halibut

@ichinyatsv

Shin wasn’t usually someone who enjoyed eating outside, but the day was warm and peaceful and the sky a soft shade of blue. As he sat down on the park bench, he realized that it was the perfect day to gather inspiration for lyrics; DearDream was in dire need of an energetic summer song. Taking out his notebook, he wrote Midsummer Colour Diary at the top. He quickly wrote down a few words with a smile before remembering why he had sat down on the bench in the first place.

He took out his lunch box with care. Halibut sushi wasn’t something he had everyday, so when he did, Shin always made sure to enjoy it. As he picked a piece up with his chopsticks, he heard a purring sound coming from near his feet. It was a stray cat. Shin stared at it. He had a few experiences with cats due to Itsuki’s cat, Maron, but he wasn’t exactly sure what to do in this situation. 

Did the cat want a piece of his halibut sushi? Shin waved the piece in front of the cat. It meowed. "You want this?" Shin didn't want to give it to the cat, but at the same time he didn't want the cat to scratch him. He didn't know what to do.

[2032-blog1]

Shin swung his schoolbag onto his shoulder. Studies were always an important part of his life, whether it was schoolwork, a script or even poetry for inspiration. However, as his schoolwork became more and more challenging, the more Shin realized that he couldn’t balance all this work. Although he enjoyed the challenge, learning English and doing all his schoolwork in it caused him to take a lot longer than usual. Despite having enjoyed watching foreign dramas, they hadn’t given him the English vocabulary necessary to properly express himself.

Taking out his poetry notebook, he wrote a few words before closing it again. Writing an English song seemed like too hard of a goal to reach now, but Shin knew that he would be able to achieve it someday. Almost as though reaffirming his goal, he could hear “2032″ in the distance. Shin slowly mouthed the words he had written down what now felt like a long time ago before realizing that someone was actually singing the song. He stopped walking, too shocked to register the other person colliding into him.

The male he had run into apologized, but Shin was too distracted by the fact that the other had been singing “2032″. Despite the transition into the world of professional idols, he still didn’t expect to hear his songs sung out loud in public. It was that shock that caused him to continue singing the song where the other left off.

“You are different from the other people You may not hear me say that But I look behind your heart That alone...“ 

His wistful tone was evident as he sang; the true meaning of this easily misunderstood song always on his mind.

Starter for @2032​

“Wow~ Such a heartfelt song~” Hajime had just discovered a new song at work today, and to his surprise it was Japanese! One of his coworkers recommended it to him due to his ethnicity.

The ex-idol was making his back to the dorm with earphones on. The mp3 playing the recently downloaded song “2032”. Hajime found himself so absorbed in it that he gradually started to sing along.

“Our feelings were interrupted by the faraway future leaving behind an illusion of your summer clothes~”

The lyrics were rather sad despite the upbeat music, giving the teal-haired a bittersweet feeling. He finds himself thinking back on his idol day. Back when he was still together with his beloved Ra*bits. He’s starting to miss them again…

“This platform steals the you I saw with my own eyes I stand there that day as you never retur–Oof!!”

His passionate singing was suddenly interrupted when he felt himself run into something. Or rather somone now that he got a good look of what’s infront of him. Finally remembering that he’s still in the middle of walking

“Oh! I-I’m sorry!” He stutters

ReIntroduction

Hey everyone, Vio here! I’ve chosen to bring back Shin, a character who is currently constantly on my mind. Dream Festival! is pretty much all I talk about and listen to nowadays (aside from Kamen Rider), so if you’re thinking about watching the anime or downloading the game, I’d be happy to give you some tips and guides.

Anyways, like for a starter! I’ll be capping it at three because the ongoing Dream Festival event is really hard to tier orz (and I’m also bingeing Fourze) If you want to continue a previous thread, please send me a message

[2032-blog1]

//I've been pretty busy with school lately so I'm gonna be using this time to finish up my outstanding thread replies. (Which is all of them orz).

However, I will be open to AUs and other ships with Shin, so please contact me on IM/askbox here or on my skype (@foureverthefool) //If this is your first time messaging me on skype pls tell me who you are + your muses thank you//

Examining the knots on his pinkies, Shin resisted the urge to fiddle with them. Being matched up with Keigo was as awkward as he had imagined, both of them having changed too much to go back to being friends like they were in childhood. However, letting his personal feelings about Keigo ruin the race would be a waste.

Looking over the challenge list, there were certainly a few that caught his eye. Most of the activities seemed similar to those from variety show games, reminding Shin of his experiences on those sorts of shows. He gave a brief shiver. At least these challenges didn't involve haunted houses or skydiving.

Most of them seemed fairly simple, in fact. Unless there was some sort of twist at each station, the events seemed fairly easy, which reassured Shin. The only problem would be efficiency and coordination between him and Keigo. Maybe they should start with an easier one to warm up, mused Shin.

Shin nodded. The singing challenge at Wild Angel Entertainment fit his criteria and provided the simple warm up that they needed. After all, singing was part of the daily life of an idol. "Sounds good."

I will remain faithful || Keigo and Shin

Shin looked at the red string on his pinky, his eyes following it to the other end where it was tied to Keigo’s pinky. He wasn’t quite sure how they had ended up as partners in a Valentine’s themed race, much less why they had to be tied together by a symbolic ‘red thread of fate’. He was surprised that Keigo hadn’t left the moment he had found out they were paired up together.

Looking at their challenges, Shin turned to Keigo. “Which one do you want to do first?”
