@incorrect-vrains-quotes VRAINS RARE PAIR WEEK 2025 d3 symbolism/themes/motives
Ship: Ai x Jin Kusanagi
their ship don't have a name but in my mind I call them meaningshipping.
A human called Jin (which human is one of the meanings of the word) and an artificial intelligence called Ai was funny to me so I started to ship them for that. and I wanted to put the human and machine theme here :)
[ID: Chibi drawing of Jin Kusanagi and Ignis Ai eating a piece of chocolate cake.
Jin is holding a fork with a little piece of the cake from his plate and Ai is eating a cake.jpg image. Jin is astonished looking at Ai, meanwhile Ai is focused on eathing the image. END ID]

there is water at the bottom of a swimming pool
written for my rare pair week over on @incorrect-vrains-quotes
Day 1. Attribute | Element | Affinity
Title: there is water at the bottom of a swimming pool
Ship: Raindropshipping | Aqua/Miyu
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains
Word Count: 1,372
Rating: T
Warning: None
Tags: Fluff and Angst, Post-Canon, Healthy Coping Mechanisms
Miyu cut through the water with power. Her form was immaculate. Every muscle expertly controlled, her hair pulled back and her face strapped with goggles. She had practiced and practiced and practice and it was all for this. The High School championships, scholarship on the line and who knows where it would take her after this.
She swam the best free style of her life and touched the tiles at the other end of the olympic-sized pool. The water was cold but Miyu was warm, blood pumping and a smile split across her face.
First place. A record time. And the crowd went wild.
Thunderous applause. Confetti burst open and the flutters of see-through paper scattered down over the water like blossoms in spring. People cheered and the ordinance it became roared in Miyu’s ears - and her imagination.
The championship was… tomorrow.
She was just getting in the last possible practice of all that Miyu had already done with an audience of one: Aqua.
“Brava, brava, well done, Miyu!” Aqua cheered for her from the grandstands.
Her tiny voice, lone in the hallowed and empty indoor pool, hardly filled it and yet, made Miyu’s heart grow another size. Her body was drenched in adrenaline, her chest heaved and her heart pounded. She pulled herself up onto the side of the pool, splashing in the process.
Aqua could only, and freely, cheer Miyu on like this right now. Tomorrow, she had been hidden away as though she didn’t even exist - even though she was, easily and by far, Miyu’s biggest supporter.
“Swim exactly like that tomorrow and you will definitely take that grand prize.” Aqua encouraged her.
“Thanks.” Miyu replied, bittersweet.
She wasn’t exactly sure of how she felt right now.
Sure, if she did exactly as she was told, repeating exactly what she did in the pool just now, Miyu would definitely leave her rivals and fellow competitors in the kiddy pool. The thought of that was exhilarating but the problem was, she was dampened by Aqua’s presence - or maybe expected lack thereof.
It was kind of a long story but between now and tomorrow, there was plenty of time for cold feet and navel gazing.
When Miyu was first reunited with the freshly resurrected Aqua, it had been a lot to take in. She wasn’t known as the brightest when it came to academics but when it came to sports and the arts, Miyu was the best of the best. So, she didn’t really get science-y things like this. Artificial intelligence with free will. Ethics and philosophy.
She just knew what she knew.
She had been kidnapped as a child and tortured. That was the end of it. She did what she could to survive: relying on memories of her beloved best friend, determined to apologise and set the truth free. Anything else was more adult than what she was capable of understanding as a six-year-old.
And same for being a sixteen-year-old, apparently. Her mind whirled at the thought as she was reintroduced to Aoi and from her, learned quite the tale about why she had been kidnapped and what had happened afterwards. She did her best to block out things like duelling so it was quite the shock to learn that her childhood trauma had flow on effects like the Another Incident, the Tower Hanoi, and the Neuron Network.
Wow. Just wow.
But Miyu was given time to process but then she heard it. Aqua was called the Water Ignis and that didn’t bode well for Miyu. It made her stomach turn because water…
Water was her thing.
Miyu wasn’t super into astrology or anything but she very proudly wore the badge of being the fish: Pisces. She shared hydro homie memes online. She had never been big on drinking milk or even soda, either. She was a water girlie in her big, bulky water bottle that she took, religiously, to her favourite sport: swimming.
Swimming gave her something. A here and now where she could only think about breathing. Nothing else. Not the horrors of being electrocuted or the terrors of being starved. The here and now: the cool water that enveloped her, the sound of the beach and the fun it represented. Swimming was her thing but now…
Was it all predestined, or was it just a coincidence?
Miyu couldn’t tell and that uncertainty gave way to fate and questioned all the therapy she had gone through. The way she had earned praise as a child for finding methods of resilience and enjoying her hobbies and finding success after her trauma and its ramifications. Now… Looking into Aqua’s face, the pale blue mixed with navy markings, was it all for Aqua? That it wasn’t random, that it was always going to be her who suffered…
That was a lot to ask for when Miyu was a bit of an idiot. Emotional and bratty and competitive as all hell. The way she was looked at with suspicion because of her scars as she stood in her sleek one-piece, up there on the winner’s podium, basking in her triumph in the race.
It took some getting used to, is all.
Miyu did, of course, get used to it. Knowing the reason why she had been taken as a child, what her torture was meant to amount for, and how lovely an “Ignis” Aqua was at all despite such a start to life. She had a true soul, and soothing voice and soon enough, they were thick as thieves. In the end Aqua was dear to her but those origins still lingered in the back of her mind.
Even now. Though it was probably her nerves regarding tomorrow - and Aqua picked up on that.
Her gaze turned sympathetic, “Is everything alright?”
Miyu shrugged. It will be… She hoped it will be, anyway. She sucked in a deep breath and in the blink of her eye, Aqua shifted.
She turned from her little blue form as big as a fairy to something far larger and far toothier. Aqua opened her eyes and her maw, her tentacles unfurled and her tail spooled from out of the Duel Disc that she made her home in.
“Can I give you a hug?” Aqua asked.
“Of course you can.” Miyu laughed.
Despite the damper on her mood, Miyu cheered up like she normally did. Especially with a cuddle from Aqua. Miyu hugged her back, tight as tight could be around Aqua’s equivalent of a waist, in between the long slots of her arms. Miyu rubbed her face into Aqua’s markings on her chest, she rested her head on Miyu’s shoulder. Miyu sighed contentedly. Aqua was cool to the touch, rubbery and soft like a pool toy. Perfect for… dragging her into the water.
Miyu gave Aqua a big hug and playfully took her into the water. Aqua squeaked and squealed as Miyu walked backwards and into the pool. The water splashed up around them and the surface hit Miyu’s back hard but she didn’t care because once she was sunken into the water, it was her world.
Her and Aqua’s world.
If she had to be allotted an attribute, at the end of the day, Miyu was happy that it was water. Whether it was on purpose or as a fluke, whether it was something bigger than her or just a quirk of paperwork, Miyu really was blessed to have the Water Ignis as her dearest partner and companion.
Those dark clouds in Miyu’s mind began to dissipate. They got lost in the shadows and reflections of the water. Everything always felt different and new at the bottom of a swimming pool, Miyu could feel her heart let go of everything that was weighing her down and Aqua sensed the relief. She rubbed her head against Miyu’s face amid their embrace underneath the meniscus of the water.
They floated to the top together. Aqua was too buoyant to be held underneath the water for too long and Miyu needed to breathe, anyway.
“I’m really happy to have you, Aqua.” Miyu told her.
“I’m glad.” Aqua murmured.
“I’m also gonna get that first place tomorrow.” Miyu said.
Aqua laughed, “I know you will. Go get ‘em, Miyu.”

Hello, can you please make a headcanon for kengo's mother?
I definitely think she did admin at some kind of medium sized company when she was still okay/competent to work. I'm feeling insurance, maybe? A bit ironic or maybe a pharmaceutical or lawyer's firm. Definitely something practical, looks good on a resume.
She likes all the classic middle aged lady hobbies, knitting and crochet, cooking and baking, gardening, reading. Prefers print over digital text, I think. Definitely old school.
Part of me does think she never went to university, however, I think she just found an entry level job straight out of high school and worked her way up with hard work, reliability etc
She always wanted to give Kengo a sibling but it never happened as after giving birth to him, something just went wrong and her fertility decreased and is very thrilled to meet Ema even if the circumstances are tragic/bittersweet
And finally... I believe she is unnamed iirc so I'm gonna call her... Mariko. No reason, I think it just suits her
