these nerds and their role swap

[ippenx]

This is me crossing a task off the "be more active on tumblr" list BUT ALSO a desperate cry to find other dotennen fans. You have to be somewhere ... right ... right? Anyway, I offer my ShiroMomo fic.

[ippenx]

I made one cherry magic post and people appeared?? *startled raccoon noises* uh, hi. thanks for reading the guardian angel fic

[ippenx]

I kinda promised myself I'd start using tumblr more but still have no idea what I'm doing. Just gonna put this ongoing kurodachi guardian angel au fic here and ... idk, hide under my cherry magic manga shelf again? Bye ~

[ippenx]

The latest chapter of your cherry magic au is so sweet!! They make me so happy omgg 💌

Thank you so much ♥ They're such a great ship to write!

[ippenx]

I really really love your guardian angel cherry magic au! Thank you for writing it!

Thank you so much! I'm having lots of fun writing it and everyone's comments are so nice, they really mean a lot to me!

[ippenx]

Yeah, your favorite game may be good, but does it have Zabi????? That’s what I thought. You can’t beat this.

[ippenx]

I figured I could try putting this on Tumblr as well now that it's finished!

The fem!Juza/Banri fic I've been working on for like half a year got its final chapter this weekend, so anyone looking for the standard juban pining and shenanigans in a brand new setting with an overarching gender identity crisis is welcome to have a look :)

I have several wonderful transgender people in my life, and as with everything else, I am happy to absorb what they share with me and pour it into the stories I write, so that others can also feel the same joy and inspiration I get from being a part of my friends' beautiful lives. I've had this idea for such a long time, and I'm glad it's finally out there.

[ippenx]

Idk what a3! is but after sunrise is some of the best trans writing on ao3 so thanks for that

Thank you! 💜 It means a lot :)

And A3 is a gacha game that sadly doesn't have an English server anymore, but the beginning of the story has been adapted somewhat decently into two seasons of an anime too :)

A3! Act 2 Thoughts (5) | Reread

Oh YOU two.

GROUP HUDDLE

Oh how romantic.

Good boy Tenma, good boy.

Izumi, I don’t think that’s a good idea to invite Tenma’s parents at all.

I am so glad they did! Muku, they love you!

A lil’ Sakuya for the nerves.

He really called out their names one by one so seriously like gearing up for a Pokemon battle and then …

NATSUGUMI FIGHTOOOO!

They’re adlibbing so hard, it’s cute.

THEY ARE BEAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN’T!!!!! KAZU!! SUMI!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!

So true, bestie. So true.

GET OUR MAN IZUMI!

They came to see him noo no noooo I can not I can’t noo noooo I am emotional.

Juzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my beloved!!!

Sakyo she’s about to change your life.

It is HER theater now boys.

Sakyo you have been read more than all my fanfics combined.

*flailing my arms around* THE THE THE HE THE THE THEM THEY THE *falls off cliff*

Oh you DRAMATIC EMO QUEEN, calm down. Hell hath no fury like a Reni scorned I guess.

Man. THE CHANGE IN HIS DEMEANOR when he saw it’s about Mankai Company.

I’m gonna fucking strangle you to death, you piece of shit.

Yuki you are incredible and immensely strong and I am sorry you’ve had to learn how to be that way.

I am so glad Muku is holding him because I can’t.

Everyone indeed, Misumi, you are so correct.

Tenma you have an excellent point but I am BEGGING you to say it nicely.

I wanna see him and Itaru nerd out.

KAZU YOU GO! GO GET THOSE GENUINE BUDS! (Misumi already is one)

Also, haha. Buds … flower buds … nice.

I’m glad they spared us the Igawa sprite here because … tbh he’s hot and I would not have the emotional capacity to handle it.

Well played, Tenma.

I like how we kinda get it through the crumbs here that this REALLY mattered to him.

… I feel bad knowing what’s coming up.

I think cloning would also require thinking, Izumi …

I forgot this too, Tenma basically forced his father’s hand there by making a blog post about being in the troupe.

He really is powerful, damn.

I’m not even sure what to make of this. He talks about it like that’s a normal resolution process for conversation or something? Ugh. Screw Tenma’s dad.

Summer troupe are a family, summer troupe are a family, summer troupe are a family.

Like holy fuck how hard was that punch?? I’m clumsy as fuck and no stranger to bruises, things don’t go black and blue just outta nowhere! Even in terms of physical punishment (read: abuse), there’s a slap and then there’s absolutely pummeling it into their face. Geez, the fuck is Tenma’s dad’s problem, does he have to be the worst in his chosen category of shittyness?

Hi. I love that Yuzo can talk to Tetsuro too. Actually … hmmm … I feel like @ofgoatsandmagicks surely must have a yuzo/tetsuro fic somewhere ...

Misumi grandpa lore! I am taking very detailed notes.

And then he can’t even see Misumi act … I’m not crying … who’s cutting onions here?

THE MOST IMPORTANT TRIANGLE

He’s so nervous, poor baby.

Man, they really blasted Tenma online for that genepro …

First name basis :) Love that for them.

Izumi, I absolutely adore you and would watch all of your plays ever. For days.

The show must go on!!

TasuIzu fic notes, don’t mind me …

Oh Muku, you adorable thing, I LOVE YOU.

I REMEMBER THIS PART IN THE STAGE PLAY AAAAAAAAWH MAN TOMORUUNNNN *crying*

Hahaha, psyching Tenma up for the rockets.

… Tenmareact?

Gosh, Misumi is just … so precious … must protect him … and he’s so happy to have friends!

This is great out of context tbh.

He’s got 150 of these lol. Kazu … buddy … a word?

Muku maybe don’t … learn from that … Misumi, not you too!

Okay I laughed.

I totally forgot Kazunari asked everyone if they have girlfriends and then invited them to a mixer.

I wonder what he had to put up with for this to be a standard issue public announcement ….

We love breaking gender norms.

Oh Yuki of course they weren’t, you’re not a stereotype to them :)

If this were a dating sim, the other guys could pack up and go home now. Clearly no one will ever love anyone as much as Misumi loves you if he sees you as a triangle.

Misumi recognizing Yuzo, interesting.

Yup, Yuzo is nothing compared to the hack. They can take the criticism!

*kisses him on the forehead*

OH BUT IT ISSSSS

I'm watching the EN version with Kazu's voice muted btw, and I miss Tomorun’s voice so much …

Sakyo? Loool hahaha not even close.

Still not even close but good try.

You sorry liar you.

Sir, we see your ankles once every two years, I don’t think you are one to lecture about fanservice.

I am not a Misumi stan, I can’t, I don’t have the money.

*more crying*

FINALLY Sakyo’s secrets begin to unfold … haha … Sakyo sitting in on OG Summer troupe stuff cute.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA fuck, hi. Hello sir.

He looks so smiley and untraumatized here, I was so utterly and completely fooled.

*holds him right to my chest* Omi I am so so so so so sorry you deserve the world.

Oh, the dilemma. I forgot about all this too.

OH THEY WERE DOING PHANTOM HERE?

MISUMI VOICE MISUMI VOICE MISUMI VOICE

Hmm, actually not totally sure on this one chief. A contently dwelling Misumi is a powerful thing.

That is actually hilarious, good job Matsukawa.

Muku my beloved ….

THEY JUST BARGED INTO HIS ROOM, TOTAL STRANGERS, AND HE OFFERS TRIANGLES? Oh my god Misumi baby you are too sweet for this world.

Izumi love, I guarantee you it is far from a normal guy.

I loved this scene in the anime so much, like the whole follow up chase and jumping around, they really gave Misumi SO MUCH LIFE!!! Stage play too, with obvious limitations of IRL physics.

Misumi happened to your onigiri. I’m much sorry, Citron.

OKAY NOW I’VE HAD A THOUGHT.

This is the thought, that is all. In this post we learn that Run With The Wind was really a Mankai Sports AU from the start, I mean, the Izumi and Haiji parallels are STRONG. Of course the first thing to do when spotting a delinquent is to inquire about their interest in your particular hobby that you’re trying to get off the ground and into professional shape, and then housing them so that they may become a successful member of your team. I have connected the dots!

Half Kazureact, half wholesome and cute.

BURGLAR FRIEND, oh Citron. Just feeding onigiri to stray cats. I adore you.

The MisuKazu celeb and manager etude, awwwwuwuuuuuuuu *sobbing*

OUCH! FUCKING OUCH!!! Writers????? WHY WAS THIS NECESSARY WHO HURT YOU???? *holds Misumi even though I think it’s me that needs holding*

Misureact?

AND THEY WERE BUDDIES! It’s also like … you can tell this was just shallow on Kazu’s part as are all his relationships at this point but Misumi just genuinely runs with it and is happy to have a friend …

Has … has Muku met fangirls? Sounds like he has.

Tsuzuru: collapsed Muku:  ambulance?! Misumi: nothing a little rice and a triangle can’t solve.

As someone who’s seen young TV repairmen be confused about what the hell a VCR player/recorder is … Matsukawa, I feel you.

Buff Muku hours … I’m so curious about more of his track team life!!!

… even more Run With The Wind parallels? Hmm. Something something crossover fic ….

I am SO GLAD Izumi suggests inviting the whole track team to the play so that Muku can see he has their support too!

Hehe.

Geez. You, you’re getting the bonked upside the head with a cactus treatment, sir. How dare you.

He really does have some weird authority/seniority thing going on or something.

Offshoot thought but. Can you imagine if Izumi was voiced? I would die.

Enjoy your first and last camp without Sakyo’s immediate budgeting oversight.

Thanks a bunch, Tsuzuru. Much appreciated.

Sounds like a challenge. Anyone wanna be legendary parasites with me?

Oh to be rewarded with a triangle for reading the 1001 Nights stories to get in character.

*holds him gently* we’re just director now! No more ma’am.

Oh don’t you blame it on the foot you … you cried genuinely!

Itareact!

Sakyo wrote 10 pages ffs this man LOVES acting and this theater.

Tetsuro in Summer troupe!? TAKE NOTES TAKE NOTES!

Tsuzuru just IN SHAMBLES at the prospect of Kazunari joining Mankai.

She is too good at sweet talking people, I am worried.

Kazu didn’t even blink, this man transcends gender.

Tsuzuru either be bothered by him or defend him, you can’t do both, it’s too endearing.

MUKU THE WORLD, GIVE HIM THE WORLD IMMEDIATELLY I DEMAND IT.

Oh man. Act 1 Tenma will not be fun.

Yukireact.

Listen to yourself boy! That is advice YOU SHOULD TAKE!

I can’t tell if Masumi doesn’t get enough of this treatment by comparison, or if it just seems miniscule in his case because he plows right through it anyway.

He looks like a gremlin whose last crumb of food fell down the drain. Tenmareact?

*wags finger* You, you, YOU! That line is not as innocent as it seems man.

CITRON. GAMING LINK SKILL. WHEN!?

I was gonna say something wholesome but then he started being an asshole again so nevermind.

Get put in your place, Tenma. But also, anyone else notice this time being inconsistent in Act 1? Like it was supposed to be 1 month according to Sakyo but then I think at some point it became two months?

I am looking.

Still looking.

Yuki’s mom is so great, I love her, I absolutely adore her.

Muku wanted to be here so much, I’ll cry.

I AM CRYING.

Muku’s dad is so moved, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I think I’m gonna die I love the HyodoSaka family so fucking much they are everything to me!!!!

This is THE Kazureact ever.

He just pokemonified Muku?

This was the beginning of something wonderful indeed.

Hm. I do wonder if this is like … indicative of what’s been barked at him as a child actor or something.

… localization … question mark ?

I got a chuckle out of this, Izumi couldn’t have missed harder if she tried.

I would have LOVED to see this website. Give us a picture, you cowards.

Who among us indeed.

Based on this interaction of Tsuzuru just yeeting Kazunari out, I wonder if he was the designated Kazuwrangler in high school.

Honey, you are a very good boy AND a liar. Poor Sakuya overworking himself for the swordfight scene …

*angry staring*

On the writing side at least, I think it’s great how they’ve written Masumi for what they were going for, because he could not be more like a belligerent and selfish toddler if he tried. He’s a rare case of me hating the point but loving how they got it across.

Sakuya my poor lost little kitten, I am once again so horribly sorry for your parents.

So I just watched the Winter Act 2 stage this week and this is just … very … *crying on the floor* THE SHOW MUST GO ON. SAKUYA MADE IT GO ON!

The man, the myth, the legend.

Ah so that’s why you’re so good at those, Citron?

Local angsty cat learns that NPCs potentially have complex feelings, more at 11.

*gamer link skill rant here*

Not gonna lie, I had a big crush on Itaru in this fit. Still do. He was also in my first EN 10 pull, and I got to bloom him fairly early on. His card is so pretty!! (don’t get me started on the stage version)

And they say weebs are useless, smh.

Yuki, we appreciate them!! We love them!!! And you!!!!

He spends his whole time being a joy to look at AND calling out things/people I find annoying, no wonder I adore him.

Can I interest you in a nice long one-way trip to the middle of the ocean?

He even took a flier *sob* he really is a theater junkie and a kind person.

Muku baby my beloved, you can have ALL the fliers, and I will personally build you a castle out of them.

Tsuzureact number … you know what, I’ll stop counting.

Them using Yuzo’s troupe’s play as inspiration was really cute.

I feel so bad for him … fuck parentification, he deserved so much better and I’m glad he’s finally getting it.

Kazureact number one.

Family connections or not, really nice of him to use them for Mankai!

That reminds me of that random chipmunks movie scene, lol. 

There he goes, selling gem pa- I mean, tickets.

Hehehehehe

I like how we now know this to be literal.

Tsuzuru is such a great writer, I love him.

A rare Sakureact!

Citron is so attentive and caring!

Oh no, Sakyo’s been found out :D

I AM NONLINEAR I AM NOT ALRIGHT I AM GOING INSANE ACTUALLY AAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

And then he ends up doing a play about video games and and and and and he called Sakuya leader first and and AND I’m not an Itaru liker per se (I mustn’t I can’t I’m not that rich).

He is so cute, help.

Someone stuff this mean old grump with a creampuff or two. Yes yes honey we’re taking this seriously, don’t worry we’re coming for you in another 30-ish chapters 😊

Hehe.

Muku I love you, thank you so much for existing.

In summary I take too many screenshots and Tumblr only allows 30 pics per post. *looks at upcoming winter content* I may have a problem.
