Your forced glasses on me made me go blind Shattered them painfully to regain my mind How dare you closed your eyes as I opened mine? You're happy staying in your own cage As I waited patiently in rage I saw through your eyes Yet you'd never see through mine

Get ready for the presentation, the performance. Got to make a good impression. Want to be accepted. Want to be loved. How should I present myself? Anxiety. Who do you want me to be? Who do you see me as? I can be anything and everything you want me to be. Confusion. Who am I?

You're burning me slowly, but my love's burning strong Never underestimate a soul's determination and love Can't extinguish your fire, so I'm turning up the heat Let's see who will burn out first Or will we combust together

[ririabeam]

I know I already told you I like your rambles and fanfics but I wanted to take my time to read this one again and write a more thought out comment hehe

Tbh back when I didn't have Tumblr, I was secretly fangirling so hard reading your fic cause it's so well written kshgd and shared it with my friends hehe

Thank you for keeping the Mirai Nikki fandom alive, I really appreciate all your effort and dedication!

I may not always interact, but I've been reading before I even had Tumblr, and still reading today... haha

I appreciate it every time you support my works too... this fandom so dead fr

I like how you got Yuki and my personality and dynamic so accurate

Definitely having one thing to live for makes things “easier”

I definitely think like this, you got my focused on results process down so well

I love how you ended this as well, it's so heart warming and made me smile ^^ ♡

I love it sm sm!! Thank you for writing it!! (I finally got to express this more properly...)

Would you ever post anymore yunoteru drabbles or any one-shots??? I enjoy you’re writing a lot!!

Thank you both so much! 

I can’t really call this one a “drabble” or even something “short,” but I do finally have a new Yunoteru one-shot for those who are interested. And in reality, it was receiving asks like these that finally got me moving on it.

It definitely grew beyond what I originally intended it to be — it’s 3000 words, for god’s sake — but I hope you enjoy it. It’s certainly less “wholesome” than my first effort given that it takes place in a particularly sketchy time during the killing game, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t still growing closer at the time.

(This has also given me an excuse to take this one-shot as well as my previous one and FINALLY make a Yunoteru One-Shots story posting on both FanFiction.Net and AO3. I choose to be optimistic that they’ll [probably very slowly] receive more chapters going forward.)

 The Rest is Easy

"Uhhhh... ?"

Yukiteru Amano was seated on the floor of the hotel room he now shared with Yuno Gasai — part of an attempt to stay off the Eleventh diary owner's radar. Yuki had Yuno's latest script for their activities open on his lap. And it was that script which prompted Yuki to involuntarily make the "Uhhh... ?" sound just a moment ago.

This was the second time she'd written out what she wanted him to say and do. That morning's meeting with the other diary owners in the Cathedral of Causality had gone perfectly thanks to her first effort, but her "sequel" script demanded a lot more from Yuki than just delivering dialogue and posing dramatically.

Yuki was still decked out in the same clothes he'd worn for his dramatic morning performance, but Yuno wasn't even fully dressed anymore. She'd taken off the dress she wore to that meeting and was now lounging on the hotel bed in a nightshirt and some light blue panties. Currently, she was laying on her stomach with her feet up in the air as she flipped through TV stations using the remote. Every time she hit a news program, she paused for a moment to determine what they were talking about. Yuki figured she was probably hoping to glean some new information about Sakurami City's mayor — the Eleventh diary owner.

The level of comfort Yuno exhibited in wearing so little in Yuki's presence was diametrically opposed to Yuki's feelings on the subject. Yuno sometimes got undressed in front of him without warning, whereas Yuki still went into the bathroom and shut the door before changing his clothes. As far as he was concerned, it was inappropriate and invasive to do anything else. After all, in spite of Yuno's (repeated) suggestions, it's not like they were intimate with each other.

None of which was to say Yuki didn't somewhat enjoy Yuno's state of dress... or even her general invasiveness. At least those things distracted him from the events of a few days ago. His father, the police officers, all the blood — he was trying not to think about any of it.

Unfortunately, this script Yuno had written wasn't helping on that front. To say it gave Yuki pause was to wildly understate his feelings. But in spite of the horror he felt at what Yuno was asking him to do, Yuki didn't want to upset her. He knew how much his praise of her first script had meant to her, after all.

"Um, Yuno?" Yuki called delicately. He clambered onto his knees before he finished, "I'm... really not comfortable with this."

Yuno turned her head to look over at him. She made a questioning "Hmm?" sound as she lowered the volume on the TV. She sat up and pivoted to face him, asking, "What do you mean?"

"What?" Yuki said back. Briefly, he chuckled in disbelief. Then his eyebrows drew together and lowered on his face. "What do I mean?" he repeated. He held her script up and gestured at it with his free hand. "You're asking me to, to slaughter orphans!" His eyes widened as he insisted, "I can't do that!"

Yuno smiled gently. "Don't be silly," she told him as she swung her legs over the side of the bed. "Of course you can! It'll be easy! For one thing, most of them are way smaller than us."

"I don't mean logistically!" Yuki shouted. And that was the point when all the remaining traces of Yuki's desire to discuss this matter 'delicately' completely evaporated. Climbing to his feet, he spoke with increasing desperation: "I mean it's horrible and cruel — not to mention completely overkill! After all, we only need to kill the Eighth, right?!"

She slid off of the bed and stood up now, putting her hands on her hips. The smile on her face dissipated as she cocked her head slightly to the side. "We have no idea how that server of hers works," Yuno said. "What makes you so sure all the future diaries created off of her blog site will stop functioning if she dies?"

Yuki blinked and took a step back from her as he considered this. "If we just destroy her server, don't they have to?" he reasoned. He rubbed his chin with one hand as he thought. "No, I'm positive they'll break," he said, his confidence rising, "Because Ai's and Marco's apprentice diaries stopped working when we blocked their signal."

Yuno leaned forward. "Most websites keep a backup server, right?" she suggested.

"Tch," he scoffed by way of reply. "Do you really think she can transfer all the godly magic or fancy tech or whatever she has in her future diary into some backup copy?"

Leaning back to stand upright once more, Yuno shrugged. "I dunno," she admitted. "But if her diary can transfer the ability to see the future to countless apprentices, there's no telling how else it might be able share its power."

"Come on," Yuki said doubtfully. "Deus would never allow that kind of loophole. He's really dedicated to the whole 'your diary is your life' thing. Do you seriously believe he'd let us make backups that easily?"

She smiled playfully as she wagged her finger at him. "Ah-ah, I never meant to suggest Eighth has some kind of 'extra life' in storage," Yuno said. "But even if her life is only tied to the original server, why does that make it unthinkable she could've backed up the other functions?" She folded her hands together in front of her. "Besides, even if none of the apprentice diaries work after we get to the Eighth, that doesn't mean those kids aren't still a threat to us. I kind of doubt they'd take her death lying down."

Yuki pursed his lips as his brow lowered. Sourly, he reminded her, "Just a few seconds ago, you said taking them out was going to be 'easy.'"

"Only so long as we have the advantage of surprise," she warned. "It'd be bad news if it was them pulling a surprise attack on us, though. I doubt our diaries would be enough to counter all of them at once. That's why we need to make the first move here." Yuno spun on her heel and faced away from him for a bit, shifting to hold her hands behind her back. "Anyway, what's it matter?" she asked. "You're gonna bring them all back to life once you become god anyway, right?"

With a loud exhale, Yuki hung his head. "Of course I will," he said with exasperation. Yuno peered over her shoulder and watched as he continued, "But I'd prefer to not have to do that at all. In fact, I'd really prefer if they didn't have to suffer and die in the first place."

She spun back around and walked up to him, lightly wrapping her arms around his neck. Yuki lifted his head when he felt her touch him, and Yuno stared back into his eyes. "Trust me," she told him. "This is necessary. And it'll be easier than you think — a lot of those 'kids' are basically our age, after all."

"I... " Yuki paused to swallow hard. "I do trust you," he assured her. "But they're not all our age. Not even the majority. So how can I just casually murder children?"

"You said you wanted to stop relying me on to do all the dirty work, remember?" Yuno reminded him.

It was something they'd talked about during the past few days — something Marco, one of the two people who made up the Seventh diary holder, had pointed out to them. Yuki was relying too much on letting Yuno handle all the difficult, messy stuff this awful 'game' required. And in turn, Marco noted that Yuno was ignoring Yuki's wishes and simply steamrolling over him to do things her own way. In the immediate aftermath of the incident at Sakurami Tower, Yuki had gotten distracted by the death — actually, the murder — of his mother. But after his father was murdered as well, they'd spent a few days in hiding together as they planned their next move. Which allowed them plenty of time to discuss how their partnership — or "relationship," as Yuno preferred to see it — needed to change.

The bottom line was that it was time for Yuki to step up, and he knew it. And at the same time, Yuno expressed her intent to listen to him more and not just ignore his requests or misgivings.

"I know that," Yuki said back to her at last. He placed his hands around her waist in return, attempting to reassure her. "And I appreciate you hearing me out on this," he added with sincerity. He scrunched his face up as he added, "But you get where I'm coming from, right?"

She smiled lightly for a moment. "I'm not gonna force you to get involved. If you understand what I'm saying but don't think you can handle it, you can wait and join me for the next one. Or not! You just need to let me-"

"No, it's fine," Yuki said quickly, interrupting her. "Like you said, I don't want to just rely on you for this stuff anymore." Even so, he directed his eyes away, feeling suddenly unable to look directly at her. "I just... I don't know how I can go through with it."

When Yuno responded to him this time, she spoke more quietly. She placed a hand to the side of his face, touching his temple softly with her fingertips before sliding them down his cheek. "The first few are the hardest," she said in an attempt to assure him. "But you'll get used to it."

"Really doubt it," he mumbled.

Yuno cradled his cheek in her palm. "Whether you do or don't, I still don't want to see you change who you are. You know?"

His eyes instantly moved back to meet hers. "No, I... guess I don't. What do you mean?"

Yuno lowered her hand from his face. "I don't want you to be too trusting or naïve, of course. The trouble is, I also don't want you to lose your kindness," she explained. She shrugged. "It's kind of a contradiction." Yuki managed to smile a little at the compliment. Then Yuno added, "Either way, I know this stuff is going to get easier for you as you keep doing it."

That small smile faded quickly. "'Easier'?" he repeated. His hands fell away from her waist. "You mean, easier to kill?" She simply nodded, causing his jaw to go slack for a second. "I... deeply can't see how that'll ever be true," he said, clearly displeased. "Sure, you say I'll get used to it, or that it'll get easier, but how can killing people ever be 'easy'?

Yuno raised her eyebrows. "You might be surprised."

"And why should it be easy? Why would I want that?" Yuki continued, increasingly agitated. "For taking lives to be 'easy'?" He took a step back. "For that matter, how can it be 'easy' for you?"

"Yuki," Yuno said with evident affection, "It's not as-"

"Did you just forget that you're killing human beings?!" he asked, cutting her off. There was an air of pleading to his voice that made him sound like he was balancing on the edge between despair and anger. "Because that's what they are," he continued, firmly. "They're humans — no different from you or me!"

It took only a second for Yuno's face to harden. Her eyes seemed to darkened, and her eyebrows furrowed. In a cool monotone, she stated, "We're not killing people, Yuki. They're just bodies. All of them... they're already dead. They just don't know it yet."

Yuki shook his head frantically. "What are you talking about?!" he implored. "They're still alive right now, damn it! Even those cultists you killed, or the police officers that I... " he trailed off. "Even if they were misguided, th-they still had hopes and dreams and-"

"This world is ending, Yuki," Yuno interrupted him with calm resolve. "If Deus doesn't choose his successor very soon, there's not gonna be a god in place when he dies. And what do you think will happen to the world then?"

Yuki stared at her, trying to blink through the tears that were forming at the bottom of his eyes. In a whisper, he finally asked, "What?"

She folded her arms as she shook her head. "Definitely nothing good," Yuno said. "Deus told us that he needs a successor. And I'm pretty sure gods don't 'need' anything unless it's super important." She took a deep breath. "Just think: Reality could start collapsing around us at any moment. And nobody's hopes or dreams matter next to something like that."

He shut his eyes tight and grimaced as he tried to process her words. "You can't know for sure that... " Yuki managed to say — but he trailed off, sounding every bit as uncertain as he felt.

"Besides," Yuno went on, "Doesn't it make sense to kill a few people right now so we can wrap this up before the world starts falling apart? Which will kill way more people?"

Opening his eyes once more, Yuki swallowed hard. "That's it, then?" he asked. "You're going to carve the fastest path you can to becoming god, no matter whose throat you have to cut along the way?"

"You're the one who's going to become god," she reminded him. "And yes — absolutely!" She lifted her hands from her sides, clenching them into fists. "I'm getting you onto that throne no matter what it takes," she said, determined.

Yuki shook his head in disbelief. "And do the lives of the people you expect to kill matter to you at all?" he pressed.

In response, Yuno cracked a grin that made Yuki feel very uncomfortable. "They can't matter, silly!" Yuno replied with an off-kilter giggle. "I have to shut my ears to their pleas and their crying and remember that they're just one more obstacle to the only thing that does matter."

Yuki swallowed hard as he paused to review her words in his mind. He stepped over to the bed and turned around, sitting down on it before he guessed, "You mean, uh, the stopping-the-world-from-ending thing."

Yuno pivoted to face his new location and tilted her head, half-smiling as she did so. "No, I mean you," she corrected him. "You're the thing that makes the messy stuff feel easy." As she centered her head again, her expression relaxed. "I used to have lots of 'hopes and dreams' for myself, actually. But when I... " She paused for a long moment, her pupils quivering as she did so. "When I started losing stuff, and I felt like I couldn't go on?" she finally continued, "That's when I realized you really only need one." She held up her index finger to illustrate the point. "It's the secret of life, you know."

Yuki scratched awkwardly at his cheek before opting for a weak joke: "The secret of life is your finger?"

She giggled and shook her head. "You're such a dork," Yuno said affectionately. "The secret is that it only takes one thing to make life worth living. Even if I lose everything else, so long as I've got one thing left to fight for or one thing left to live for, I can always face the next day." She lowered her finger and folded both hands behind her back. "And that's you," she told him, blushing as she did so. "You're my one thing."

Yuki stared at her, dumbfounded. He'd shifted from being upset and frustrated to feeling uncomfortable, then just kind of confused, and now he found his chest swelling with warmth. Weirdest of all? Every one of those feelings was thanks to Yuno. "But why?" he asked in a half-whisper. "Why me?" His gaze drifted to the hotel room's carpet. "I still can't wrap my head around it," he admitted. "You could've chosen any guy in the school. But you settled on me, because—what? Just because we talked to each other once?"

Yuno spun and sat down next to him on the bed. She reached back, propping herself up with both hands. "Lemme think," she said. "I met this sensitive, introspective guy who always puts other people's concerns ahead of his own? And he's gorgeous?" She smiled enigmatically as she closed her eyes. "Hmmm — guess you're right. I don't see the appeal," she teased.

He lifted his head again and looked towards her, managing to return her smile. "That's not fair," he said. He found that he couldn't help but admire the contours of her face as when he looked at her. "There's no way you could've decided all those things about me from that short conversation."

When Yuno opened her eyes again, she was looking directly into Yuki's. Still smiling at him, she leaned in to bring her face closer to his. As she did so, she reached up and put one arm around his back. "Full disclosure? I kinda watched you for a while after our first chat," she confessed.

Yuki raised his eyebrows at her. "So you stalked me," he noted in a deadpan tone. Somehow, the idea of Yuno stalking him didn't feel as bad as it once had. "Forgive me if I don't act surprised," he cracked.

Yuno ignored the remark. "That's when I saw who you were. And I decided you're worth fighting for." By pivoting her upper body to face him, she was able to put both her arms around his back. Then she leaned her forehead against his and whispered. "That's why, whenever things feel too hard and I start to have doubts about what I need to do, I just remember what I'm fighting for. I think of you." She shrugged. "The rest is easy."

She pulled him into a kiss and he let her, putting his own arms around her as he returned the kiss in kind. When they broke back apart, they continued to stare into each other's eyes.

Yuki couldn't stop himself from blushing. "I guess... I should thank you," he said. "For seeing the best in me."

"Then thank you, too," Yuno said back. "For putting your faith in me."

I have no hope in my future But I can become the hope in yours Shining like the stars you said you love That is my hope

I was always scared of everything But the fear of losing you scares me more Suddenly I can catch a falling star You had always been my hope

I want to die for a hope You want me to live for a hope Is life a gift or a torture Fate or free will Selfish or selfless

Right or wrong choice Was there ever right or wrong Why do stars shine in the dark sky Why does the dark sky exist with the stars

Endless questions Wishes upon stars Day and Night And we end up looking at the dark sky with stars again

"Let's see the stars together."

Laughing so hard 🤣 Wow we trending this song in 2025? Love itt, and yes Mirai Nikki in 2025 Yay~!! Doing animation memes while storytelling and focusing on character interactions, I really enjoy animating! Wow Yuno drawing another future diary holder? Maybe more to come? 👀

I love this scene sm ngl, the script written for Yuki to act out

I definitely had boosting Yuki's confidence in mind while writing the script… also must include the kiss and badass (trolling) energy

(Suggestive sketches) Going to horny jail for Yuki~💖

[ririabeam]

Oh gawd I started this on impulse after Sashley posted her version, I love her works so much!! 🥺💖💕💕 I started self learning Adobe Animate this year due to being inspired by her!!

I really love the timing of her animations and video editing, the expressive expressions and poses, the details and emotions she puts into her works e.g. I really love how creative Sashley's take on animation memes are too! I tried to express my love for those in my work, and tried to do my own take for this animation meme! If you're reading this Sashley, I love you!! Thank you sm for inspiring me, I'm a big fan!! 😆💖💕💕 I hope to do more animations in the future and will keep looking forward to your art and animations 🥰

I'm really happy with how this turned out! I do think I can improve on things still like my tweening, but I feel it's really good for someone who's just starting out learning a new program + tweening haha

This isn't my main artstyle btw! You'd probably see me doing another artstyle next animation as I love experimenting with artstyles XD

My design skills isn't very good in the past, so I'm happy to see how far I've improved! I've been replaying and watching video edits and animation memes frame by frame to learn transitions and design~

P.S. I video edited AMVs in the past so my video editing skills didn't come from nowhere XD

Anyway, aaaa I love Miu Iruma!!! 💖💕💕Girl encouraging work out 🤣 I've been trying to do stretches lately- As easy as it sounds, it's actually hard to keep it up consistently… I wonder if that's why my animation became like a work out video 🤣👋🏻 (I didn't storyboard for this and just animated whatever's on my mind)

[ririabeam]

Thank you for the nice comment ^^

I think you're asking a question(?)

Well I'm Tsumugi so the obvious short answer would be AAAAA I LOVE JUNKO/RYOKOOOO <3<3<3!!jkfjkdlfk

kfdfn I feel I'd end up writing a long essay of fangirl and reasons, but if u want that I'd include it below :3

I have stated some reasons for Junko in my birthday depression comic post

I know Junko is a villian but I find comfort in her in some ways, doesn't mean I condone her actions.

There's a lot of things I relate to Junko/Ryoko!

Junko->SHE'S SO HOT N PRETTY... I also loveee how interesting and fun of a villian she is! She is actually a very complicated character especially after reading DR zero. I love thinking and analysing about how her talent, thoughts and emotions led her to be the villain she is

Being born with her ultimate analytical ability drove her crazy, being able to predict everything and everyone made life meaningless and boring for her. I know she did horrible things to entertain herself, but I can't help but feel she is not 100% evil and actually wanted to feel normal happiness, which makes me kinda sad.

She was born like this without her own choice, which is a suffering I relate to. We don't choose to be born or not or get to choose all our circumstances or what we are born with.

I like her impulsiveness, imagination too! I relate to it haha and whenever she talks and does things is so entertaining tbh XD Her switching personalities to entertain herself, her way of speaking changing all the time e.g.

Ryoko-> I'm forgetful and I write notes to keep track of things so I don't forget to do them. I write a diary too though not about everything that happened like her

Tbh reading DR zero and writing why I like Ryoko to myself is the reason I was able to find out I had amnesia too

In another universe, I'm Yuno Gasai. My past is like in Mirai Nikki. After the birthday depression comic, I had been working on recovering my memories and healing from it

I really love how funny and cheerful Ryoko is too, it was so funny to read her wild imagination like working in the cornfields with Matsuda and going to NASA X'DD

I really enjoyed reading all her thoughts in DR zero X'D

I relate to when she felt she was being dragged into everything that doesn't have anything to do with her (as she had forgotten she was involved in those)

I feel a lot of my life, I'm controlled and being dragged into things too.

+ I have amnesia too, so there are also moments when my memories come back, it felt like when Ryoko was feeling like that. I felt I was running away from myself/my memories. I feel like my brain had forgotten to protect me when I wasn't able to deal with those things in the past.

Forgetting doesn't mean it has nothing to do with you.

The past may not define me as a person today, but it has shaped me + helped me learn from mistakes. Remembering is how I'm able to work through my traumas and mindsets to recover.

Ryoko chanting "This has nothing to do with me" to cope is also something I relate to as I tend to repeat some phrases to redirect my obsession/focus/ground/reassure myself

I realllyyyy love Junko/Ryoko sm, comfort character!! <3 <3 <3

I love thinking about the contrast and two sides to oneself theme as it is something that connects to me deeply.

Been grinding these sketches since March 2024 to improve my anatomy, I'm so happy to finally be able to share them! 😆💖 I felt it was weird for me to have shared my Mirai Nikki ones first as those are newer. So I finished these DR ones. The oldest sketch is the Miu expressions (last one) and the newest is Junko and Miu sketch page~

There had been months of breaks while working on the things I had been posting lately, I only sketched when I have the emotion. I feel when I draw while feeling the emotion, it is when I draw the pose best ^^ It was not only a practice but a way to get out my emotions like hurt

I was inspired by anime character refrence sheets and a big inspiration was the Kill la Kill artbook sketches! I'm happy to see my art becoming more "official" looking? XD As in, I like that I feel I've reached the level I want, it really looks like the art I would see in artbooks e.g.

I think my improvement of anatomy and poses can be seen in my recent finished works and these sketches had been a contribution to that ^^ My friend, Setsuya, had been helping me from time to time, and I learnt that I don't seem to understand body language very well which hindered me in getting better at poses. I started to study psychology, body language e.g. I find it interesting that how much something like the hand is angled tells a lot about how the character is feeling or how they are like. Different hand poses, how the legs are standing e.g. gives off different emotions and vibes aaa

There's a lot I can still work on and learn, but I'm proud of reaching here and I finally enjoy drawing poses as I don't struggle as much as when I first started! Understanding poses makes drawing them fun, so I'm really grateful of my friend for helping me ^^
