#HAHA WOW anyway I'm in danger :)

[zillychu]

woke up from a dead sleep last night realizing I could make soroku flavored pitch pearl and no one could stop me

edit: you know what? I'm feral and I won't apologize. more under the cut bc this is my house

I slammed this out all at once so I apologize for the quality but I'm having EMOTIONS

so imagine. bc of the way Danny was quickly resuscitated, his ghost only barely started forming. With the excess blast of ectoplasm from the portal being created, that little whisp was given form even after Danny's soul returned to his body.

except this ghost (Phantom) slowly comes into consciousness while trapped in Danny's body. they're separate entities sharing one body, but Phantom doesn't really have a sense of self right away. he pieces together vague fragments of Danny's memory to get a basic understanding of the world, and is mostly just observing like a backseat passenger.

Phantom starts reflexively protecting Danny, his powers and instincts bleeding through when his emotions are high. Danny doesn't really transform, and his personality doesn't totally shift that much at first because Phantom’s mind isn't complex yet. but as time goes on, and Danny has tense conversations with ghosts, Phantom realizes that's what he is. he's a ghost, somehow trapped in his old body. and even now, this early on, he already feels separate. he doesn't have all the memories Danny has.

this slowly turns into horror. into rage. sorrow, mourning a life he never got and will never get to have. forever trapped behind the eyes of someone else, never able to interact with the world. Phantom's rage eventually boils over until it allows him short bursts of taking over Danny's body. it starts out small–a stray hand moving without his consent, knees locking up, ghost abilities going awry. Danny can start feeling emotions that don't belong to him. get vague impressions, almost hears a voice inside him.

and eventually, Phantom is able to fully take over. this is when Danny “transforms". at first, Danny blacks out because his consciousness isn't used to being shoved into the back seat. but eventually, he's awake for these “episodes", trapped in the back of his mind while Phantom controls his body. this only happens when ghost stuff is happening, when Phantom feels threatened enough. he's not protecting Danny, he's protecting himself. Phantom knows instinctively that if Danny dies, he dies too. he's not a normal ghost, he wouldn't be freed. he'd simply disappear.

at one point after a fight, Phantom can feel Danny struggling to take back control. and he talks to Danny for the first time, acknowledges he's there. asks how it's fair that Danny is the one that gets to exist. but Phantom is tired and weak, he slips back into the passenger seat.

over the next few days, he's able to start talking to Danny even while he's not driving. though he's not chatty, it's only when necessary. and Danny knows, can feel it across the link between them–Phantom hates him. the ghost he created is desperate to find a way to take over completely. and as time goes on, Danny realizes with horror that it might actually be possible for Phantom to do that. he grows stronger every day, can stay transformed longer, controls Danny's body with much more ease.

it's only through a chance meeting with Frostbite that Danny and Phantom fully learn what happened to them. Danny feels sympathetic towards Phantom now. this isn't a malevolent ghost, it's a person who was never given the chance to live. who's trapped. who has to watch someone else live a life they're just as deserving of.

and Phantom feels that emotion from Danny. is so shocked by it, he doesn't know how to handle it at first. it takes him a while to contemplate, to talk to other ghosts like Frostbite. until one day, Phantom realizes… he feels sympathy for Danny, too.

neither of them asked for this. both of them deserve to live. Danny didn't do anything wrong. they're both villains to each other's story. and if anything… doesn't Phantom owe his life to Danny in the first place?

Phantom takes over less often. Danny doesn't feel hatred from him anymore. anger, yes–but not aimed at him. in fact, Phantom starts controlling their body in little ways in order to protect Danny from things that aren't even dangerous. just to avoid pain that would only affect the human tethered to him.

it isn't long before they're separated, either thanks to another ghost or Danny's parents. they're thrown apart in the middle of a horrific fight, and when Danny sees Phantom's equally shocked expression, he's terrified.

this ghost that hated him for so long–at best, Phantom would leave him defenseless. at worst, surely some part of Phantom still wants to kill him for stealing away his chance for autonomy.

and yet, when fire rains down on them, Phantom risks it all to grab Danny and get them both to safety. they're still both shaken and stunned this is even happening, but Phantom is able to nervously be like shit shit shit okay stay here don't go anywhere or I can't protect you, okay?

after the fight is over and dust settles, Phantom offers Danny his hand. they stare at each other and god if this isn't the weirdest thing. like, uh, okay, what now? they decide to go see Frostbite, who confirms that they're fully separate now. they ask if there's any chance of merging again and Frostbite assures it's impossible.

Phantom asks, even if I overshadowed Danny? or stay real close? yes, it's nothing to worry about. they leave, and back in the quiet of Danny's room, they talk. Phantom isn't sure what to do. now that opportunity is in front of him, he feels paralyzed. Danny does his best to let Phantom know that… they might be separate now, but if he ever wants help or even just a friendly ear, he's here for him.

Phantom is quiet for a while. then says maybe he just needs to rest first. he'll think about it tomorrow. they're both exhausted and injured. Phantom asks quietly… if he could rest in Danny for the night.

Danny's shocked, and–really confused. Phantom blushes and is like I don't know what my haunt is yet, I don't know where to go, but I know… you're kind of my home. now that I know I can leave whenever I want, it's not something bad anymore. I miss feeling your heart next to my core, just a little bit.

and Danny is just as surprised when Phantom overshadows him, then quietly nestles into the passenger seat again. he didn't realize how he got used to feeling Phantom with him. it's a feedback loop of contentedness, and Danny sleeps easily. (they also find out while sharing a body, Danny gets to reap the benefits of Phantom's supernatural healing)

anyway that's all I got for now thank u for coming to my ted talk

[birchbow]

Something about troll reproduction is that everyone alive in the empire had to have gotten some fuck at some point. And that makes me look at The Behemoth and wonder if the other participant has to be alive by the end of the ordeal because Wow Look At It. I'm so morbidly curious about the type of troll that it would decide was good enough and if they walked away with something broken or not.

y'all the fact that as I got this ask I was lying here in bed musing to myself about how. There is a universe where the scene of Gamzee meeting the Behemoth that I'm writing ends up with them fucking nasty in some kind of very spur of the moment hookup largely unrelated to quadrants haha. Because Gamzee's down to clown with people who are way too big and not used to being gentle. And actually the fact that he's going to get real bruised at best and injured at worst is a perk. I don't,,, think the scene will go that direction, but it's a diverting thought lmao. Anyway, perfect timing anon thank you.

....I do wonder. If you're enough of a deadly motherfucker that you can and would rather kill a drone than bother with finding some kind of Beauty And The Beast romance situation. Would the drones smell/see/sense a troll covered in the blood and death/distress hormones of a drone and go "well, this one passes muster" and keep moving. Could you look at this situation and just go "well obviously I'll kill my way out with brute force." What then.

SPY × Family: Chapter 94 analysis unhinged thoughts

hello hello! i am back with my thoughts for the latest chapter! please note that there are spoilers ahead for chapter 94! (Long-ish post incoming?)

Okay, so I loved this chapter. I'm a person who loves locked room murder mystery type stories, so this definitely scratched that itch for me. Obviously, I'm biased.

Analysis (of sorts?):

Right off the bat I can say that this chapter isn't really oriented on emotions or certain character dynamics. It is pretty plot heavy (but. not to the main plot. this chapter in itself has a plot to its own, but I really really liked it).

So the chapter starts with Bondman facing off an enemy in a snowy mountain...

which, of course, inspires Anya to have an adventure of her own. She asks Loid to take her skiing, only to be flatly denied...

BUT! Agent Anya has tricks up her sleeve (threatening to cry), and that works on our dear, super-spy Agent Twilight (he's so weak and stupid y'all.)

side note:

he thinks he's soooo cool. he's not.

Anyway, we get Twilight trying to explain skiing to Yor, which... fails, kinda. we also get gymnastics from Yor, (SHE's the cool one), and a half-baked explanation from her about learning all that from a gymnastics teacher.

The Forgers are trapped in a snowy blizzard, which leads them to take refuge in a lodge. They meet a group of young college students, who regale them with a tale of a bloody snowman who kills people in the dark.

Might just be me, but this design reminds me of Type-F from the new Code White movie (note: this isn't exactly a spoiler, I haven't seen the movie, but this is what's on the wiki and in the trailers). The snowy backdrop + this Type-F-esque design might be a homage to the movie? Probably just me, though, haha.

Anyway, onto the main focus of the story (kidding, it's not):

WE COULD'VE HAD IT ALL..... YOR AND LOID SLEEPING ON THE SAME BED.... WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN....

(jk, it probably wouldn't have happened, but a girl can dream)

"Eh, why not?" Certainly, these words CANNOT exist in the vocabulary of THE Agent Twilight! Perhaps.... no, it can't be... he's finally RELAXED for once? Feeling secure enough to ASSESS THE LAYOUT FOR POSSIBLE ESCAPE ROUTES WITH HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER? No... it can't be possible....

(Sorry, I know I'm unfunny. I don't think that'll change)

But, genuinely, this just shows how at ease he is with his wife and daughter. He might not know it yet, but I know it (← somebody whose opinion isn't worth shit).

Finally, onto the main crisis of the story:

the would-be murderer.

There's something to be said about how he jumped into action to save the guy's life, (as one does), BUT. BUT

OHOHOHO. The minute Yor's in danger (see: the man reached out to grab her but Loid just grabbed his hand) he decides to find the killer to prove her innocence. (You know his adage? A spy should never draw attention to themselves.) The minute his WIFE was in danger he resolves to find the killer and prove Yor's innocence their guilt. HMMMMM. Agent Twilight, you ain't slick. I think you momentarily forgot about about your #1 lesson to never draw attention to yourself just to prove Yor's innocence. OHHHHHH. The fanfiction is fanfiction-ing

(I'M SORRY I'LL TRY TO BE FUNNY FROM NOW ON)

To summarize the rest of the chapter: Anya realises with her telepathy that the killer is the lodge owner, and meddles in the investigation to nudge Loid in the right direction, and the police arrive to the lodge to find the incident resolved. Everyone's happy, right?

Not... really.

Anya's excited because, "Wow, I solved a murder! So cool, best trip ever!"

But Yor and Loid aren't that happy. Loid is worried that this kind of meddling will get Anya in danger... and he's more worried that she isn't really grasping the gravity of the situation.

Which. She kind of isn't. A man was almost killed, but she's not showing any signs of shock? Remember, he was this worried even after the hospital visit where she makes a mess of that sand-model thingie, and after the bus hijacking arc, when she's hyped about the Stella, and he tells her that the Stella was "not for the reckless way you defied those hijackers."

Which.... is a lot of character development from the man who was A-OK with leaving her alone in the apartment, to now how he constantly worries about her wellbeing. Growth.

Also, another tidbit:

I feel like this chapter showcases another facet of his personality. Not Agent Twilight's, or Loid's, but [REDACTED]'s.

[REDACTED] always wanted to help. Even in the War Arc, when, in Luwen where he was staying at his great-uncle's house, we can see that he wants to catch fish for his and his family's dinner, while, in the backdrop, children are laughing and playing. It's always been in his character to help, and, hell, it's partly the reason he is who he is today. Agent Twilight wants to think that he left [REDACTED] behind after that fateful bombing in Luwen, but [REDACTED] is hanging around him like a ghost, and some of his character bleeds through the facade that is Agent Twilight, which is masked by the facade that is Loid Forger.

Final thoughts:

Loved the chapter. It's probably just me reading into it too much, but... that scene where he grabs the guy's hand who was trying to tie up Yor. Hm.

This entire chapter might have been a locked-room murder mystery type chapter, but I genuinely think that it showcases how much of an effect this family has had on Agent Twilight. What with taking Anya on a sweep of the premises to look for escape routes, to trying to prove Yor's innocence that definitely betrayed his number 1 rule as a spy... this man is truly so oblivious, I wanna cry.

(Also: did he not stop for a moment to think that him performing first-aid on the victim, or trying to build a radio from scratch OR playing detective to prove his wife's innocence IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF OSTANIAN PEOPLE would raise suspicions? Obviously, it was all overshadowed by the discovery of the would-be killer, but... at least one person had got to have been suspicious of Loid.)

(Also also: He's so weak. One look at her crying face and he's gone.)

This was just my thoughts from a preliminary read of the chap, so if I get more thoughts, I'll probably add onto it in a reblog or a new post. Tysm for reading! Hope you liked it, and have a great day/night! Remember to stay hydrated!

PAC 18+: Describe To Your FS ❤️💐👄❤️

Disclaimer: This is about how your FS is as a person and what they gonna be like with you on Valentine's Day as well. This is part 1 and I'll be making a mood board with you and your FS on Valentine's Day.

Pile 1: Ahh, I see that your Spouse can be a Bard like someone who tells great stories. They can be singing at bars. Singing stories about legends like their great-grandfather told them about growing up. If that makes sense. Okay, for some of you, I think that your FS used to have an addiction. They probably were drinking a lot. I can see alcoholism they were drinking all day. Being drunk all day. Passing out a lot. I hear “turn the life around.” so maybe, They are trying to turn their life around. So they are a security guard that probably works the higher top security. Maybe, they guard the white house or they can be a patrol officer. They can be your protector. Awe, I'm hearing “people trust them.” Your Spouse likes to go to the farm. They probably like to go land on a farm and maybe, that’s their sanctuary. They can be a father or I heard “A father figure.” whether they are a father or not they want to have their family. See! I was right paternal authority! They could be watching a child or took in a family member's kid. They can be a repairman. They like to fix things. I heard they know how to improvise. So they know how to fix things. Like remotes, etc. Oh, I think your FS is learning how to channel their powers. They probably are strong manifestors. Wow, I can feel that they are. They must've been powerful in a past life. So they know how to work their magic or learning how too.

👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄

Pile 2: Wow, your FS can be a writer and they tell great stories. They could be an author. Maybe, they probably want to publish their book. I can see them having a conversation with you about their books. “You read my book before. Can I show you what I'm writing?” they remind me of Hardy from After If You Guys ever Watch That Movie before. That's what your Spouse is like. In a sense. They are just great storytellers. For some of you, I think that your FS is a journalist too. Again, writing must be important to them. Aww! They could be the type of person who likes to question people. They can be a reporter or probably get a promotion at their job. Oh yeah, they could be a butcher! Sometimes they can be a bit cruel. I am hearing “attitude.” so they could have a big attitude problem. Or they have this serious face that not a lot of people fuck with them. They might be a hunter, I feel as if your FS has this hunter mentality. They can be a stalker like stalking you on social media or hiding behind your brushes and you wouldn't know if it was them. Weird huh! But I'm seeing it healthily. Oh wow, I think some of y'all FS could be dangerous man what I mean is that they know how to fight dangerously. Yes, it is a turn but they got some fucking skills that are like oh, damn! Haha 😂. Anyway, sometimes your FS can be impulsive and ignorant at times. They are fucking foolish sometimes. So of course, they pissed people off because they do things sometimes without thinking. I feel that's who they are. I can hear them say “That's me who I am I ain't changing for nobody.” oh yeah, so your FS might be older than you. I mean older than you! So they will come off “Oh yeah, I know much more than you do.” Ugh, that kind of people irritated me. So yeah, they'll feel like they had more experience than you. I feel some of them can be traditional too.

[bodycountgame]

Hello! I was a big fan of the series a while a go and it is lovely to see that you are back. I'm terribly sorry that other anons put you through a lot with the voting aspect of the game. Absolutely no one deserves death threats for a story that they are bringing to us for free. However, I am not going to lie, I always feel a bit worried when a fandom majority vote is what has long lasting effects on character life/death. It was ok when it was everyone voting with an equal effect. Now there will be a wealth gap to vote. Only people that pay can contribute. And at least where I'm from wealth looks a certain kind of way.

Since you have characters that are in a minority it feels... Bad. Maybe I'm projecting how racist and transphobic my home country is on the vote for this game. I also don't want you to feel like this is an attack on you because that is not my intent at all! I love the diversity in the love interests and it was what brought me to the game initially. I am worried that if you do a majority vote on Patreon that characters that aren't white/cis will face a harsher vote. Trans lives are in danger and I was not surprised when a nonbinary character died first. I was part of the fandom and people treated them very grossly (it actually made me step away for a bit as well). There were many options but the vocally out and proud person got the boot first. What I'm saying is I trust you more than your Patreon supporters. If the people can't all vote as one, due to the actions of some terrible people, then maybe we shouldn't vote at all

anon, i totally understand your concerns because i absolutely shared them. to be completely honest with you, i had totally misjudged which characters i thought were popular or not and watching the three non binary cast members struggle through that first vote felt Bad. my personal disappointment about ellis being the character to receive the least votes in the vote contributed in no small part to the twist in chapter 3 and their revised arc (which was Not planned when i set out writing body count hahaha). howeverrrrrr, i did learn a lot from the process.

my main motivator behind making the vote patreon exclusive was that the voters would be genuinely invested in the game and that the polling would be much harder to game or manipulate. selfishly, i also think it will reduce a certain amount of the absolute barrage of wild anons from the first time around haha!

in addition to that, though, i think its important that i reaffirm what i have said from the start: i am acutely aware that in interactive fiction in general and particularly on tumblr there is a strong preference for white male characters, and i am not here to write some kind of gross POC/women/nb slasher. as much as i want the audience to have a say in the direction the story takes, i ultimately have final say on what happens in the story that i am writing.

the main way that i intend to have oversight of the voting process is by who appears on the polls in the first place; the first poll was the last time the whole cast will be available for a vote at the same time. since ellis, one of three NB cast members, was the first character to die, i've said that neither of the other NB cast members will appear on future polls. if it's women and POC suffering in the next vote, then i'll be applying similar logic. if that means we get towards the end and we need a white boy only poll then so be it!

that said, if people cannot behave then i will simply take away their toys. although i consider the voting mechanic to be one of the things that makes body count unique and fun, i'm absolutely not above doing away with it if there are Shenanigans that spoil it, ya know?

anyway, i hope that assuages some of your concerns! sorry for another giant wall of text wow i simply cannot answer a question concisely atm

LMK NINJAGO CROSS OVER, BUT IT'S JUST LLOYD AND MK SWITCHING PLACES FOR A WEEK

Tang (possibly Pigsy, too): Wow, that sounds like a lot to go through as a child. And you bodily became 18 when you were 12? I'm so sorry, they shouldn't have done that to you..

Lloyd: Well-- it was to save the city--

Tang: What did that city ever do for you? I mean, your whole life is just one tragedy after another; your mother abandons you, your father is locked away, you get sent to a boarding school to make you evil and you still get bullied there. You're manipulated multiple times by adults, and sure, you tried to do that once to them, but you were a child. They were adults. That's not fair.

Lloyd: It was destiny, I had to because of the prophesy...

Tang: No, you had a choice. You didn't have to do all that, and even if you wanted to, you could've waited till you were mature enough to understand the severity of it. Your uncle trains you-- actually, he forcibly takes you, which legally would happen anyways as your only relative, but the law was never involved, not to mention you were under the impression you'd be hurt.

Tang: It's not your fault either. You were coerced into it. The prophesy never said when you had to defeat your father, right?

Lloyd: Well, I don't entirely remember....

Tang: You needed an adult who wasn't going to use you, and you never got that. You never got a childhood, and that's terrible. I'm so upset that this happened to you because no kid deserves this. I'm not completely okay with MK being the Monkie Kid; I mean, look at all the danger it's put him through - but at least he was an adult, old enough to make his own conscious choice.

Lloyd: I...

Lloyd: Thanks, mom.

Tang: It's no pro-- wait what?

MK: And you have elemental powers?! Oh, that's so cool! I don't have any of those, really. I mean, I can do a lot of things that the Monkey King can do, but I don't think controlling elements was one of them.

Zane: It is awesome, of course, but we have years of years of unpacked trauma.

MK: Same!! :D

Red Son: Your father... was okay with you becoming a hero?

Lloyd: He wasn't the best, but it's not completely his fault. The whole venom and oni thing really messed him up. He knew what he was, and he... deep down, he wanted a safe world for me, and fhst meant a world without him.

Red Son:.... I see.

Lloyd: So, uh, you want to be like your father?

Red Son: Well, of course I do! I'm not some a simple-minded peasant like Noodle Boy or Dragon Girl! My father's legacy is one to behold with pride.

Lloyd:... but?

Red Son, sighing: but my father barely recognizes my greatness; and Noodle Boy and his peasant friends do....

MK: Why is... why.. (MK, trying to talk about Garmadon)

Wu: Ah... My brother and I share Oni and Dragon blood... when he was bitten by The Great Devourer, it caused his blood to turn cold.

MK: Does that mean you can become evil too?

Wu, caught off guard: Oh. I..

Wu, sighing: Yes. That is a possibility. I trained my students the best way I knew how... I.. admit I wasn't the best

MK, smiling brightly: HAHA, yeah, you weren't!

Wu, offended:

MK: Wait-- you ABANDONED your son to an evil school?!

Misako: I-- I did.

MK: Why not send him to a normal school?! Or with Mister Wu?! If you knew he was gonna beat up his dad, wouldn't it have helped if he grew up with morals???

Lloyd: I mean no offense, Sun Wukong, but I don't know why MK still likes you.

Wukong: Honestly, I don't either

Laws of Attraction กฏแห่งรักดึงดูด Ep.01

sorry to @ginnymoonbeam and anyone else from the discord crew who's seeing this twice, I hope to type up a more coherent something at some point, but I wanted to record this somewhere.

I've put a cut because this is LONG, but the reactions include translations of stuff that apparently didn't get translated on iQiyi. Mind that I'm not fluent, this is without guarantees, etc.

WHOA starting right on a dramatic courtroom scene … and why does that the defendant look familiar?

oh fuck, he uses dirty tricks. I'm not surprised, but WOW.

haha, hi dude who played Jaosua Zhang in Khun Chai

oh god this Chinese is … something.

that shirt is a CHOICE

oh, wait, is this the dude who played … what's his face, the one who was going to sell out Thian in Khun Chai? is he gonna be our antag

ahaha he hit a nerve

ahaha how is it ALWAYS Film's characters getting saved by Jam's

ahaha Chaan hitting on Tinn. He's so sleazy, yikes

and of course he's hitting on Tinn, and Tinn has good instincts and avoids the murder eyes

oh god he looks dangerous, how is this the dude who played sweet Thian?? ACTING!!!!

… I'm not gonna comment on that

of course this show is gonna make it a mission to make me hungry

Khao is so cute

this is gonna hurt so much, eh

ooh so he teaches Taekwondo!! this is so cute

oh goodness, she wants to make merit for her parents ;-; SWEETHEART

HOLY SHIT. That wasn't even a hit-and-run, that was an intentional running-over

oh shit, these dudes look hiso

uurgh Chaan's face here is just like "here's money coming my way"

this kid is so prett I'm sure he'll get an redemption arc, but I hate him anyway, for now

here come Tinn and his auntie crashing this hiso politician's press junket, oops

Sign reads:

The lawsuit is not making progress. The perpetrator has not been punished.

they're really going for maximum

I love how Chaan already owes Tinn his life twice over, this is gonna make for an interesting dynamic

the romantic music, I cannot, this is a SOAP and it's leaning into it, I'm LIVING

oh, the way the mood INSTANTLY changed here, goddd

oh god, Chaan is SO removed from reality

or, well. jaded, I guess. Which we knew! from the trailer! BUT STILL

"you'll regret that" holy SHIT

WAS THAT THE ROSEWOOD AGAIN

oh, so Chaan also has Trauma(tm)?

This show is in the future, the texts read:

29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 100 total balance 178,274.59 29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 400 total balance 178,574.59 (idk I didn't math this, it's what it says) 29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 400 total balance 180,574.59

love the commentary on this type of "journos"

I love Tinn's sister

I'm already excited for the moment Chaan starts to care. it's gonna be EPIC

he's such an ASSHOLE and I'm having a hard time with that because Thian was so sweet ACTING

I'm flashing back to Gram and White's "legal vs ethical" debate in Not Me

he can't apologise? oh Chaan, I think Tinn is going to make you eat your words.

okay I like that Tinn is apparently an asshole to everyone. equal opportunity asshole.

10:33: Ended voice call (22 seconds) 13:45: Message: "From today on, the party lawyers will take over Thaenthai's case. As for your wages, you can send [the bill?] now. I'll take care of it." (EDITED thanks to @recentadultburnout for your correction!)

I'm starting to think Tinn just doesn't know how not to be antagonistic

oh god are they gonna beat him up while he's wearing a ruffled blouse

oh YIKES

the shot of whatever that was? that's gonna be relevant later, I bet

YOU TELL HIM, TINN

acab acab acab ACAB FUCK THEM

oh god this show is gonna hurt even worse than I thought

If Chaan set that beating up I'm gonna … idk. not be surprised. but.

I can't believe the trailer essentially covered most of ep 1 and not that much from later on???

I didn't think we'd see Chaan undress and … from that set-up quite possibly assault him this early. Or frankly at all, despite how it was set up in the trailer. YIKES

THAT PREVIEW, HELP please tell me this is also a two episode a week show

[broshot]

pairing: Gojo Satoru x gn!reader

genre: Fluff

cw/tw: pet names :P (ex. babe, my love), tired gojo, food (does this need a warning?), slightly suggestive?, kissing

summary: your boyfriend came home late, really tired, but you made food and he has to eat. he also wants cuddles.

not proof read, pls tell me if there's any grammar mistakes or anything (english isn't my first language btw)💗

♡♡♡

You looked at the digital clock next to the fridge in your kitchen. The time showed 11:23PM. You were waiting for your boyfriend, Gojo Satoru, to come home from work. You had decided to cook for him to make time pass faster.

He worked long days, waking up early and going to sleep late. You had no idea how his body could keep up with it, and you wanted to at least make sure he ate enough if sleep wasn't strong on his part.

As you finished cooking, you heard the door shut, followed with your boyfriend calling you.

You quickly took off your apron and placed it down before rushing to Gojo.

He had his eyes closed and was leaning to the wall, almost asleep. You walked closer to him and gently shook him. He opened his eyes and looked down at you before smiling.

"Hi, love." He said and you smiled at him. "Hi. Where's your blindfold?" You answered and he spoke: "I dropped it. It's okay, though, it wasn't my favourite one anyway."

You smiled before asking him if he's hungry, which he responded with: "Yeah, but I'm also tired, I think I'll skip the meal and just go to sleep."

You shook your head. "Babe, I prepared your favourite. We'll sleep after eating, it's okay, tomorrow's saturday and we can sleep in."

He agreed to eating with you after a while and followed you to the kitchen.

♡♡♡

After you both finished eating, you started doing the dishes. But Gojo was impatient.

"Babeeeee," he whined, resting his head on the table. You hummed in response.

"I want to sleep." He said and you replied with: "Then go to sleep."

"Not without you," he said and you shook your head, smiling. "Wait until I've finished the dishes."

"'s fine, babe, I'll do the dishes tomorrow." He muttered tiringly, clearly getting more frustrated.

"Really?" "Mhm. Please, I want to cuddle you." He whined and you gave in, how could you not?

"Fine, get up and lets get to bed. Take a shower first, though, you're sweaty."

He took a quick shower before walking to your shared bedroom. You were laying on the bed, waiting for him.

He didn't put on a shirt and his grey sweatpants were hanging dangerously low on his waist - which he obviously noticed - but he was too tired to tease you. He just wanted to feel you in his arms, pepper you with soft kisses and fall asleep cuddling.

You noticed his look aswell but knowing him, you knew he would have teased the hell out of you if he was in the mood for something.

He flashed a tired smile at you before sliding under the blankets, pulling you to his chest. He placed a soft kiss on your forehead and lowered his head to give you a quick peck on the lips and pulling away.

You pulled him back, placing your lips on his. You could feel his smile against your lips. You broke the kiss and looked at Gojo.

He leaned back in just to touch the tips of your noses together before closing his eyes.

"I love you so much." He whispered, wrapping his arms around you.

"I love you too, 'Toru. So much." You whispered back.

wow hi haha

this is so bad too but I just wanted to write something for him because he's love

[trivalentlinks]

#part of the reason i already had N95 masks when covid hit was that i used to use them for vent exploration #(the university i went to for grad school (which was also adjacent to my undergrad uni) had an avid bunch of building explorers #roofs and tunnels and building shafts and yes vents) #(the vents were unusually spacious i think in some of the older academic buildings but wow they were DUSTY!) #(i'm not allergic but i didn't like the idea of all that dust in my lungs) #(i also had a set of clothes i didn't mind getting permanently grimey for this reason) #(vent exploration can be pretty loud (rattling the vents) but the buildings were so old the vents were loud anyway :-) ) #(also there were enough students who enjoyed roof/tunnel/shaft/vent exploration that people turned a deaf ear to it i guess)

okay this is super cool and I was under the sad impression that vents big enough to crawl through weren't really a thing IRL, so please consider me delighted. did you find anything interesting that way? did you ever go exploring with others or run into them while you were? free space to talk about vents if you want (I can't believe I just typed those words) <3

[either private or public is fine!]

<3 <3 <3

Haha, yeah I was also under the impression that vents are not big enough for adults to crawl through, and I think this is true for most modern buildings, which was why the first time someone brought me somewhere and was like "now we're gonna go through these vents", I thought they were pranking me--I was like "that's not a thing", but I guess in older buildings this is a thing!

I never really found anything new, though there were little notes and signatures people had left in all sorts of odd places, mostly maintenance shafts, and it was kind of awesome to see how many years back the tradition went

Also I should be clear, when I say "exploring" I mean in the sense of exploring places that are new to me; I never went places that other people I knew hadn't already gone to before--it may not be clear to people who only know me online, but I'm a very high-strung and risk-averse person

-- did you ever go exploring with others...

always, yeah; it was considered a group activity; I only ever went with people who had more experience than I did, but my understanding is that even the most experienced people never went alone;

it was believed to be dangerous to go alone, because you could get stuck somewhere (no-one I knew ever actually got stuck, and the campus was pretty safe about not having spaces that were easier to get in than out, but in theory), and if you're deep in a basement, there might be no reception (also the culture predates mobile phones, so the tradition of it being a group activity could also be from that)

the group i went with met on Saturday nights at midnight (i think? i don't remember exactly) in front of a cafe and would only go if there were at least 3 or 4 people

-- ...or run into them while you were?

i remember running into another group once; I think it happens more towards the beginning of the semester before people start getting really busy;

the university also had a huge event during prospective students' visiting weekend where some undergrads would show the kids around, and then the tunnels, shafts and roofs would be absolutely overrun, haha (the school was widely known for having one of the best prospective students' visiting weekends)

-- free space to talk about vents if you want

Not vents exactly, but there's one roof-and-tunnel hacking story i'm kinda proud of:

there was this one maintenance shaft in one of the buildings that had a very tall space that you had to climb up to get to a specific space, and the group i was with had a tradition of letting new people try to figure out a way up themselves (in the sense of coming up with the ideas themselves, solutions that involved someone giving you a boost and you pulling them up are, of course, valid) before telling them the standard solutions, just to see if they could come up with something new

anyway, off to one side, there was this metal pipe that went all the way up, so I rolled my jeans up (for more friction between the legs), grabbed the pipe and vertically climbed it pole-dancing style, (because i'd been taking pole dancing classes for a few months at that point)

the others were pretty surprised and said they hadn't actually seen a new solution in a while

Anyway thank you so much for asking <3 <3

ARB Birthday Special: Keiko Yumi

~~ December 22nd ~~

"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."

Login Lines:

*Sighs* "Finally done! Hopefully once I send these in, my publisher will get off my back for the next month or so. ...And in record time too! Once I drop these off I can head to work and see what assignments Nemu-san has for me. ...Hmm? A message from... Nemu-san? 'Work is canceled. Enjoy your birthday.' My... birthday?!"

"How foolish can I get? I've been so busy with work I neglected to notice today was the day of my birth! I messaged Nemu-san back thanking her, though canceling work was unnecessary. ...She didn't message me back, but I assume it was because she was busy with work of her own. ...But still, what am I going to do with this free time I have?"

Voice Lines:

"I received a lot of 'happy birthdays' and such from the people of Akihabara, which is nice. ...You know, it's funny. Back when I was younger, nobody really paid me any attention. I was just another face in the crowd, so to speak. And if they did pay me attention, it was usually always negative. I can't count the number of times I got bullied back in high school. I definitely don't miss those days."

"...I don't believe it. Otome-sama, herself, sent me a 'happy birthday'! I don't believe it! I always figured that I wasn't worthy enough to be in the Prime Minister's shadow. That I was just one of the many people working under her. I mean, not that I don't mind working for Chuohku, but... too be recognized by the Prime Minister, herself. This is an honor I don't take for granted!"

"What the...? Where did all these gifts come from?! Are these all for me? Most of them are from my friends at school. ...Ha. Like I mentioned earlier, when I was younger I was used to being ignored or bullied. But now, I'm adored. I don't know if its because of my manga or just because I'm in the D.R.B. ...One thing is for sure, I definitely don't miss high school. Uni beats that place any day."

"Sheesh, it's going to take a while to get through all of these gifts. Here's a fancy one! It says it's from... my mom. Tch, great. What did that hag have the audacity to send me for my birthday? ...Some cash for my birthday? How original. And what's this now? ...A photo of my high school graduation? ...Tch, I won't ask how she managed to take a photo of me like this. Probably asked grandma for it. The nerve of her! She thinks me so soft sending me this will make me forgive her?! To hell with that, and her!" *Throws the present in the garbage, not giving it a second thought*

"Criss? What are you doing here? I mean, not that I'm not glad you're here, but I thought you mentioned in your last letter you were stranded on Hokkaido exploring a haunted hospital or something. ...You hitched a ride with someone? How many times do I have to tell you that's not safe? There are a lot of dangerous people out there, Criss. Any one of them could do something to you if you're not careful." *Sighs* "Well, I suppose the important thing is you're back home and safe. But please be more mindful next time."

"...You got me a birthday gift? Not that's it not unappreciated, but how? I thought you were out of money? ...Ah, that explains it, I guess. So, what is it? ...A hoodie? Oh, and it features a manga artist on it. Cute. It looks really nice. Plus, you got it in pink, my favorite color. Thanks Criss. This was really sweet."

"Nikki? You're here? Wow, someone alert the papers! The recluse actually left her room, for my birthday, no less! I'll definitely have to mark this date down on calendar! ...Haha! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. But really, I'm glad to see you've gotten out of your room, at least, once this week."

"Anyway, are you here to wish me a 'happy birthday' too or... A gift? From you? ...Wow, I'm definitely going to have mark this day down. ...A drawing tablet? ...Wait, this is a Wicom Cintiq Pro, isn't it? Do you know how expensive these things are, Nikki?!" *Sighs* "Fine, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. But I really find it disgusting that you earn more than I do when you work far less. ...Yeah, whatever."

Criss Lines:

"Hey Keiko! Happy birthday! ...I was stranded, but thankfully, I managed to hitch a ride with some nice gentlemen who gave me a lift back to Tokyo! Oh, come on, Keiko! They were really nice gentlemen! Trust me, I have an inkling if I feel someone is dangerous or not. ...Alright, I'll be more mindful, but I'm really okay, as you can see."

"Anyway, here's your birthday gift! ...Oh, my check came in from my YouTube videos! It wasn't as much as usual, but it was enough to get you a gift. Ta-da! It's a mangaka hoodie! I saw it on the way here, and thought it would really suit you! ...Thanks Keiko! Glad you like it. Promise me you'll wear it, okay?"

Nikki Lines:

"Hey Keiko. ...Are you quite finished? ...You know, if you're going to act like this, then I'll just leave. I don't have to stand here and be ridiculed for my life choices. ...Whatever. Anyway, here's your birthday gift. ...Yes, it's a drawing tablet, one of the most expensive ones on the market, FYI. The guy I ordered it from said this would help with artists who draw digitally. ...Look, if you don't want it, I can always return it and get my money back. ...What can I say? Video games are my bread and butter and they earn me money."

Incorrect Kaesoka quotes cause they're funny

Kaeden, at Ahsoka's Funeral: I need a moment with her. Other rebels: of course.*they leave* Kaeden, leaning over Ahsoka's coffin: okay, listen here you little shit, I know you're not dead Ahsoka: yeah, no shit.

. . .

*Ahsoka falls over* Kaeden: Ahsoka! Are you alright? Ahsoka: Is that you, God? Kaeden: What? Ahsoka: It's just, you sound a lot more like Kaeden than I expected.

. . .

Ahsoka: Caffeine no longer keeps me awake while I work, so instead I have Kaeden periodically send me texts saying ‘we need to talk.’ Ahsoka: It gives me the right amount of adrenaline and fear I need to keep going.

Ahsoka: Do you want to know your gay name? Kaeden: My... my gay name? Ahsoka: Yeah, it's your first name- Kaeden: Haha. Very funny Ahsoka- Ahsoka: *gets down on one knee* And my last name. Kaeden: Oh- oh my god.

. . .

Ahsoka: Did you know you remind me of all 26 letters of the alphabet? Kaeden: What? Like J F K W S Q X- Ahsoka: No, like, U R A Q T. Kaeden: Awwww!

. . .

Kaeden: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake. Ahsoka: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear. Kaeden: ... Kaeden: You mean ring bearER, right? Ahsoka: ... Kaeden: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding. (Not part of quote: Ahsoka gave an Akul buddy the ring bearer duty I decided)

. . .

Kaeden: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response. Ahsoka: Wow. They sound stupid.Kaeden: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense. Ahsoka: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!” Kaeden: I guess you’re right. Hey Ahsoka, I love you. Ahsoka: See! Just say that! Kaeden: Holy fucking shit. Ahsoka: If that flies over their head then, sorry Kaeden, but they're too dumb for you. Kaeden: Ahsoka.

. . .

Kaeden: Hey, Ahsoka, what do you think it would be like if we had kids? Ahsoka: What would it be like? Inconvenient, mostly. Kaeden: No, I mean, what would they be like, the kids? You ever think about it? Ahsoka: Can't really say I have. Kaeden: You know, for someone as eccentric as yourself, you can be boring as fuck sometimes. Ahsoka: Sorry, Kaeden. For what it's worth, I'm picturing them now. A boy and a girl. Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody.

. . .

Ahsoka: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at Storm troopers" and I think that's very sexy of us. Kaeden: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

. . .

Kaeden: We’re getting married, bitches! Ahsoka: And we're about to make it everybody else's problem. (Not part of quote: i wrote a short fic that was basically this quote last year, hehe, it's funny)

. . .

Kaeden: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized. Ahsoka: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to their knees and sob while apologizing profusely* Kaeden: That one. I want that one.

. . .

*about the darth Vader Anakin connection* Ahsoka: I think I just figured something out. I got to go. Kaeden: Aren't you forgetting something? Ahsoka: Uuh...*hesitantly kisses Kaeden's forehead before running out.* Kaeden: No, pay your bill! Damn, who raised you?

. . .

Miara: I know you love them. Kaeden: I am not in love with Ahsoka! Miara, staring at Kaeden: I never said who... Kaeden: *realizes* Kaeden: Shit. Well, anyways-

. . .

Kaeden, holding a rock: Ahsoka just gave this to me and said "I feel like you deserve the moon but all I can give you is a rock". Miara: If you don't marry her, I will.

. . .

Miara: Do you mind if I slyly mention that you’re single? Ahsoka: Do not do that. Miara: You won’t even notice! Kaeden, entering: Mira, you wanted to see me again? Miara: Ahsoka's single Ahsoka:

. . .

Miara: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room. Kaeden: Screw that, I’m not kissing any of you. *Ahsoka walks in* Kaeden: Fine, I’ll do it. Rules are rules you know.

. . .

Kaeden: Hi. Miara: Hey, did you do what I said? Did you tell her? Kaeden: I did. Miara: And what did she say? Kaeden: “Thank you.” Miara: You’re totally welcome. What’d she say? Kaeden: she said, “Thank you.” I said “I love you” and Ahsoka said, “Thank you.”

. . .

Ahsoka: Someone take me to art museums and make out with me. Kaeden: But they said not to touch the masterpieces. Ahsoka: Well somebody's got to pin the artwork to the wall. Miara, on a walkie talkie: This is Miara, those idiots are fucking around in the East wing again.

. . .

Ahsoka: Due to personal reasons, I will be fucking sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box. Miara: Did Kaeden say 'I love you' and you said 'Thanks'? Ahsoka: THE REASONS ARE PERSONAL–

This was fun! I'm doing more tomorrow, nobody can stop me!

Again, another chapter that wasn't super rushed, had a good pace. THANK YOU MANHWA TEAM

I appreciate how hayeonnim designed literally 4 rupert outfits in the span of 3 panels at the start

Lol Lari realizes how absolutely loaded Rupert is (good for him, she still has not touched a dime of his funds yet for herself)

I like the panel where she squints at the bright sunlight after being cooped up in a dark library for a few hours

I LIKE HOW THIS WAS ADAPTED: Lari's kinda off in her own thoughts thinking about Rupert's situation, how to help him out somewhat while Louis is warning her to stay away from the archives, letting her know that Akan I's child might still be alive (HINT HINT), but she kinda half-responds with "Rupert will still win", as she worries about if him using alchemy will reduce his lifespan... to which Louis tells her that being Emperor is inherently dangerous. Noticing she's distracted, he makes a small comment that he thought Rupert was the only sincere one (as in, unreciprocated feelings), but looks its not... and it's not until Lari takes a few extra steps after Louis drops her off at the entrance of the main palace that she notices he's gone and wonders what he last said

It's implied this is the usual - Rupert still looks for her often :3

BTW I find it amusing that Lari is wearing an off-the shoulder dress this time. In the novel, she didn't start wearing these dresses AFTER they become a couple + the cute detail that during the debutante, Rupert was VERY uncomfortable with her sleeveless dress because her shoulders and back were so bare (HE GOT NERVOUS BECAUSE OF ALL THE SKIN HAHA). He likes Lari in anything anyways, but still :DD

HAHA Rupert's serious face when he says "no. I hate it" (he doesn't like Lari going on long walks with Louis, because that's the excuse she gave for being late) hahahaha

They bicker so naturally, and she's ready to kick him out if there's nothing important hahaha

Basically Rupert tells Lari that he got a message that the Queen/Arnulf is starting to move - they'll have evidence of potential treason soon

Omg its so obvious here, but wow Lari has really grown up and matured. Rupert asks her for her opinion on what he should do: obviously he would rather strike first and kill them ASAP, but he is really considering what Lari wants him to do since she requested that he NOT do that last time (vacation arc). So she tells him to hold off for how, until he has concrete proof of rebellion, then he uses that against them + work on his public image and become a popular, beloved Emperor.

Really, Rupert's getting cuter and cuter, while Lari is getting even stronger.. the two are really changing over time, and they're adopting parts of each other's personalities for the better T_T

At first, there were worries that Lari wouldn't be a good Empress because the story kinda establishes early on she doesn't exactly have the training for it, is quiet, doesn't know politics... she just kinda lives in the palace and helps out Rupert, doesn't have much ability, but here we see she's grown and is able to formulate a reasonable long-term plan to help Rupert succeed in the future and to avoid become a tyrant. The days of ignorance and pure hatred are over ~~ she's looking to the unknown future now aaaa

Rupert finds her incredibly funny when she insulted the "stupid Arnulf" hehe

I love how the two of them are so close now that it's so natural for them to reach out and touch each other's cheeks how in a reassuring gesture. Novel Lari thinks of how she just felt like she had to kinda thing. No thoughts, just comforting ^^

I like how Rupert just accepts that friendly touch and closes his eyes and enjoys the moment. AAAAAA

aaand the chapter ends with a confident looking Rupert because that's how Lari sees him - shining brightly and confident and can overcome ANYTHINGGG I'm happy :D

well. what can i say, riku and reina's trial is going to be one of the most emotional ones. also, now we have only one vd left! :D

riku will reveal a lot of information about his crime in this vd and personally, yeah, i think riku's crime is one of the scariest ones here, but also.. i'd be lying if i said that i don't find him sympathetic at least in some way. though the way he acts in this vd is.. yeah i want to punch him also who knows what can happen if he gets voted guilty.. but it's hard to say that forgiving him is a good option too.

(warning for mentions of self-harm)

(divider link)

(door opens)

Eiji: Hello, Prisoner 009.

Riku: Ah, hello! It's my turn to be interrogated, right?

Eiji: Wow, you're so smart, aren't you? Yes, we have only two prisoners left to interrogate.

Riku: I see, I see! You're working so hard, do you even get paid for this?

Eiji: No, but seeing you all beg for forgiveness is the best reward I could ever ask for.

Riku: Haha, scary~

Riku: Oh, hello, Miki-san! Looking cute as always~

Miki: H-hello..

Eiji: .. What did you just say? You know that she's also a guard, right?

Eiji: Show her more respect!

Riku: Okay, okay, sowwy.

Miki: I-it's okay, Eiji-san! I don't mind, really..

Eiji: .. If you say so.

Eiji: So, Prisoner 009, Kuroki Riku. 17 years old, a high school student.

Eiji: We're back to the younger ones, huh.

Riku: Ahaha, yeah, it's probably weird to see a high schooler in a place like this.

Riku: Though now that I think about it, Akio-kun and Aimi-chan are high school students too. And Asahi-kun is only 11 years old!

Riku: How scary..

Riku: Wait, Miki-san, aren't you still in high school too? It must be hard being a guard when you're so young..

Miki: Y-yeah..

Eiji: Ahem. I gotta say, it annoys me just how carefree you are.

Riku: Hm.. Well, to be honest, I don't think this whole thing is like.. real?

Riku: Like, this has to be some kind of game, right? Or a reality show or something.

Riku: It's hard for me to believe that this is actually a real prison. And what's with the voting stuff?

Riku: Nah, I don't think we all are in any real danger.

Eiji: .. Hey, Guard 002, is it okay if I show him just how dangerous we can actually be?

Miki: Calm down, Eiji-san.

Miki: A-anyway, Kuroki-san..

Riku: Ah, just call me by my first name.

Miki: Okay, Riku-san.. May I ask, what do you think about your life in Milgram?

Riku: Hm.. Well, even though this is supposed to be a prison, I've been having so much fun talking to everyone!

Riku: I like talking to Aimi-chan and Akio-kun.. As for the older prisoners, me and Kei-san are very close!

Eiji: ...

Eiji: You being friends with him is already a red flag.

Riku: Haha, yeah, Kei-san can be a little weird sometimes, but trust me, he's a good guy. He's very funny too.

Miki: Well, it's nice to hear that you actually like this place a lot.

Riku: Haha, well, it's not like I really want to go back home anyway. So I've decided that I should have as much fun as I can while I'm here!

Miki: You don't want to go home?..

Miki: Is it related to your crime in any way?

Riku: .. I guess you can say so.

Eiji: Oh, does this mean you're ready to talk about your crime then?

Riku: Yeah, sure, ask me anything you want.

Eiji: Huh, your tone is not so energetic anymore.

Eiji: "Why is he suddenly pulling his sleeves down too?.."

Riku: Ahaha, well, even someone like me wouldn't be happy to talk about the crime they committed.

Riku: But hey, if this whole thing isn't real, maybe I shouldn't be so scared of it.

Miki: So..

Miki: What happened? Why are you here?

Riku: Hm.. I don't even know where to start.

Eiji: Oh, let me help you. How about we start with your victim?

Riku: !..

Riku: Ah, that guy.

Eiji: "Is it just me or his eyes look more empty now?"

Riku: He was a childhood friend of mine.

Miki: .. You killed your own friend?

Riku: Well, I wouldn't say that it was.. uh..

Riku: A healthy kind of friendship, I guess?

Eiji: Was it toxic then? I wonder who was the toxic friend though: you or that guy.

Riku: Come on, Eiji-san, do I look like that type of person?

Miki: So, do you want to say that you killed him because he was mean to you or.. ?

Riku: Ahaha, if only he was "mean" to me.

Riku: .. I never wanted to be friends with him.

Riku: I was forced to become friends with him back when I was only eight years old.

Riku: "Riku, can you please play with him? It's a little hard for him to make friends, he's a bit shy, you see.."

Riku: .. I didn't know that I was supposed to keep being his friend for, like, the rest of my life.

Miki: .. O-oh.

Miki: But was he really a shy person? Was it hard for him to make friends?

Miki: Or maybe he just.. gave up after meeting you?

Riku: Haha, you're so smart, Miki-san!

Riku: That's exactly what happened.

Riku: I told him to socialize more, I told him so many times that if he wants to stop feeling so lonely, he should just go outside and actually try making friends.

Riku: He refused to listen.

Riku: "Oh, but I only need you, Riku-kun!~" SHUT UP!

Riku: .. Sorry for scaring you.

Miki: I-it's okay. Though it was a bit sudden..

Eiji: Fine, we get it, your relationship with that guy was bad.

Eiji: How did you kill him though?

Riku: ...

Eiji: .. Why are you pulling down your sleeves again?

Riku: Oh, this is just something I do when I'm nervous. Sorry about that, I hope it's not distracting.

Miki: It's okay, please don't apologize! Maybe I can do something to help you calm down?

Riku: Haha, Miki-san, you're way too kind. Do you want to make me fall in love with you or something?

Eiji: Just a reminder that she's a guard.

Riku: I'm just joking, relax~

Riku: So, about his death..

Riku: It was his fault. It was so selfish of him to do something like that..

Riku: I tried to stop him, really, I did. Even though I hated him so much, I still was his best and only friend. I told him so many times not to listen to what they say..

Riku: Well, he always was a bit.. weak. He was too fragile for this world.

Miki: .. What do you mean by that, Riku-san?

Riku: Hehe~

Riku: Well, what do you think I mean, Miki-san?

Riku: But no matter what you think about me, you will vote me innocent, right?

Riku: Though I'm sure nothing bad will happen to me even if I get voted guilty.

Riku: Oh, I know! If you vote me innocent, how about going on a date with me after we get out of here?

Miki: ???

Miki: A d-date?? With y-you??

Riku: Is there something wrong with that?

Riku: .. Oh, sorry, are you dating Eiji-san?

Miki: This is like.. the third time someone calls us a couple..

Riku: So you're single then? Cool-

Riku: Huh?

Miki: Eiji-san, let him go!

Riku: Ahaha.. This kinda hurts..

Eiji: Well, I wish it would be much more painful than that.

Miki: Eiji-san, just what do you want to do to him??

Eiji: Oh, you see, I tried to be more patient with him, I really tried..

Eiji: But this guy just kept getting on my nerves.

Eiji: So I thought, maybe I should break his arm as punishment? Maybe even both of them?

Riku: Wait, is this even allowed?

Riku: Haha, this is just a part of the game, right?

Eiji: Also, something about that habit of his annoys me a lot.

Eiji: Just what are you hiding-

Eiji: !

(sounds of Eiji letting Riku go)

Miki: Eiji-san, is there something wrong-

Miki: *screams*

Riku: Ah.. so you saw them.

Riku: Haha, yeah, I do have some wounds on my arms.

Riku: I apologize for scaring you like this.

Eiji: How did you-

Riku: Maybe you should ask Miki-san about it?

Miki: ...

Eiji: .. Guard 002? Did you do this to him?

Eiji: I'm not judging, by the way. If you had to do this to him, I completely understand.

Miki: .. I'm sorry.

Miki: *starts crying* I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-

Eiji: (to Riku) .. Did you do something to her?

Riku: *sighs* I guess I should explain what happened.

Riku: You see, a few days ago I asked Miki-san to get something for me. You know, I just made a request, it wasn't that bad.

Eiji: And what did you ask for?

Miki: .. H-he asked for a knife.

Miki: I'm so sorry, Riku-san said that he wanted to show some knife tricks to other prisoners and I..

Miki: I believed him.

Riku: Haha, Miki-san is so gullible-

Eiji: Where is that knife right now?

Eiji: Oh, I think I can see it.

Riku: What are you gonna do now? Kill me?

Eiji: If you trick her like that again, I will.

(bell rings, machinery sounds)

Riku: Oh, does that mean our time's up?

Riku: I'd love to hear the song this machine extracts.. I was in a band, so I'm really good at singing!

Miki: .. Why..

Miki: Why are you still acting like everything is fine?

Miki: You're hurt! You're literally bleeding and it looks like you're in pain, so why are you-

Eiji: Let me guess.

Eiji: You did this to yourself not because you have mental health problems or anything like that..

Eiji: But because you wanted to make us feel sorry for you?

Riku: .. Hehe~

Miki: But why would you go this far?? I want to forgive all prisoners anyway, so you really didn't have to-

Eiji: Also, didn't you say that this whole "thing" is a game, so there's no point in worrying about your verdict?

Eiji: Now look at you, hurting yourself just to make us forgive you.

Riku: .. What's the point in voting me guilty then?

Riku: IT WAS HIS FAULT! HE MADE ME DO IT!

Riku: WOULD YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE LIKE HIM? SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND JUST USES YOU AS SOMEONE WHO HE CAN VENT TO ANYTIME HE WANTS?

Riku: I WAS TIRED OF HIM CRYING AND SAYING HOW BAD HIS LIFE IS ALL THE TIME!

Riku: SO PLEASE, JUST FORGIVE ME-

Eiji: Prisoner 009, Riku, sing your sins!

[em-writes-stuff-sometimes]

i'm so sorry for how nonsensical this might be but entertain me for a second here because i think you're maybe one of the only daemon writers who might understand where i'm coming from,,, anyway i'm pretty sure (unless i'm remembering incorrectly) that there's a scene in ilibitsos where we see babey deal with sub-drop, right?

so tell me why i'm now stuck on the thought of daemon and how he 100% deals with dom-drop (or whatever you wanna call the dom equivalent). he's such an emotion heavy guy and that, combined with his emotional constipation (which matches his literal constipation), probably leads him down the path of destruction to dom-dropping.

it would have to be after babey does something to make him worry - which, at this point, her doing anything without his prior knowledge seems to do the trick- and worry is something daemon typically expresses with anger. so let's say the reader pulled some shit where she went and done something that daemon, rhaenyra and basically everyone told her explicitly not to do. when she gets back, daemon's in one of his "gah im so angry i need to stab her womb with my flesh sword" moods (never thought i'd describe a cock as a flesh sword but here we are). so he's taking her from behind, either with his hand shoving her head down into the mattress or pinning her down to whatever surface he's bent her over and he's going at it. like, poor babey is definitely gonna feel it for a few days after. and he's just spewing his usual depravity, barely lucid of the fact he's slowly switching from calling her an ill behaved whore to ranting about how worried he was, how she needs to apologize for not letting him get a wink of sound sleep, how he hates how weak it made him feel to know she was in danger and nothing he could do would take her away from it. until, eventually, everything he feels- in his heart, not his cock- becomes too overwhelming and he just needs to stop. babey's smart so she obviously notices the switch in energy immeadiately and she's calling out to him, trying to turn around and get a look at him but he's not letting her. he's just... staring at the back of her head, hands slowly loosening the iron-tight grip they had on her hips and switching to caresing her skin, feeling that she's physically there. when babey finally manages to turn herself over and face her sweet tortured husband, he's frowning like he's angry but staring at her like she's the finest porcelain that'll smash if he's not careful with the way he touches her. he won't talk, can't talk, but that's okay cause she understands him even when he says nothing and so she gives him what he really needs, craddling him in her arms, soothing over his back with her hand, whispers of i'm okay and i'm right here, kepus and you can't always keep me safe but you'll always lead me home thrown upon deaf ears as daemon does his lil sad boi forehead touch and just melts into her, taking in her smell and just taking in the fact she's present beside him, letting himself finally feel all those dark, heavy, suppressed emotions he pushed down all those days she wasn't by his side.

and ahhh wtf did i just write, i'm so sorry this was genuinely meant to just be a short enquiry onto daemon and his possible dom-dropping but i started writing it and then this happened instead. i hope this wasn't overstepping any boundary or anything like that. all this to say, big slay, loved the first chapter of the pregnancy fic, excited for the possible future return of murderer-core daemon once the dance hits.

(this might have sent twice by accident so, if it did, sorry! tumblr's just a dramatic girlie who likes to tell me there was a problem sending my ask)

Hey! Yes, there is a scene that deals with sub-drop, and it's probably one of the few things that I know about dom/sub dynamics, to be honest haha!

And wow, this is such a good analysis of Daemon's whole come-down, it's like you shoved fingers inside my brain and wiggled stuff around and produced something really cool from half-assed fragments lying around in there, lol. His default is totally anger; it's what he vibes with whenever he has the Big Feelings, even if he's more upset, or worried, or afraid. He gets the Big Angries instead, haha! But oh, vulnerable Daemon hit me in the feels with this one - I fucking love it. Thank you so much for sharing this with me, I DEFINITELY need to start a new tag called 'daemon writing notes' so I can keep this on FILE.

Never be concerned about overstepping boundaries, I'm so fucking flattered that my silly fic was even worth the time it would've taken to type this out! I love your ideas - we are one spiritually, I swear. I'm so glad you liked the first chap of the pregnancy fic, and murderboi!Daemon might even be coming in this fic, to be honest! I'm really craving some violent energy from him, and we gotta start easing Babey in early!

(This ask totally didn't send twice, so you're all good!)

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY @houseofhyde BAE!!!!

outside perspective:

Tajima and butsuma was married but also a father with a blended family. They had both lost their wives, then had met. Their love was a cow love, two frank men, Critical and stoic. they had a total of 6 children together, it hadn't been easy at first. But they ended up saying that they could discuss this dispute instead because the other had disputed his son.

Tajima: I hate parties.

Butsuma: You've already told me enough in the car.

tajima: the school party is the worst. You meet parents you don't like and kids who aren't yours but you still have to watch. Because your own child is sure to come last.

Butsuma: darling, shut your mouth we can hear you.

tajima: don't worry, we're still in the parking lot.

Butsuma: It's not just us in this parking lot. It doesn't belong to you. He said clicking his tongue.

Tajima: I'm sure we'll see this teacher again that Itama called a curmudgeon.

Butsuma: don't tell me about it....

tajima: i told you that letting the kids speak their mind out loud was wrong.

Butsuma: It never caused me a problem.

Tajima: Yeah, you don't know... It's at my place that people complain.

butsuma: stop complaining, you must have liked hearing them.

Tajima: shut up a bit... Watch out, a mother is coming our way... I don't like her either.

Butsuma: Of course you like people.

Kushina: Hey! Butsuma and tajima how are you.

tajima: long before-butsuma nudged him not to say more.

Butsuma: we are still doing well. But you cut your hair?

Kushina: last month, she said laughing and hitting him softly. If observant butsuma haha.

Butsuma: last month? wow I never would have believed you are so beautiful too.

Kushina: oh butsuma! Don't flirt with me in front of your husband. He could be jealous, let's see.

Tajima: from you-!? Another blow comes in his ribs. I should be worried considering your beauty indeed.

Kushina: Alright I'm going. see you later!! The red-haired woman left smiling with a big gesture. Butsuma turned back to her husband.

Tajima: what?

Butsuma: say what you have to say.

Tajima: I have nothing to say.

Butsuma: if you say so.

Tajima: if you insist my love.

butsuma: yes, I insist oulala. He said with a sigh.

Tajima: I don't like that woman! Does she feel flirted? Doesn't she already have a husband, this tchoin!? Nah what's that hair color? Me threatened by her! I'm laughing about it ! Ah! The dredge more or I stumble you. I'm not jealous or anything! She shouldn't end up disappointed. Chip.

Butsuma: are you finished? It's about to start.

Tajima: Only if you don't tell anyone else.

Butsuma: Hn.

the men arrived where the spectacle of the children of all classes was to take place. Tajima was already grumbling because he wasn't in front and he couldn't see well.

Butsuma: I told you to take your glasses but you never listen to me.

tajima: I listen to half that's it.

Butsuma: Afterwards you will complain of headaches.

Tajima: That's not true. And if so it's because this bitch is screaming at her unworthy husband.

Butsuma: Like you care anyway.

tajima: I hope she won't get up last year there was the woman who was in front always on the end.

Butsuma: she was a teacher she had to film....

Tajima: Well she wasn't transparent! Or even the year before we had to go down a rank for a man.

butsuma: the man was in a wheelchair.

Tajima: they think they can do anything.

Butsuma: Hn.

The show started with Hashirama's class. He was doing a show that talked about ecology and the dangers of the environment. hashirama was a sick tree that had to be taken care of by the other children.

Tajima: your son is a tree.

Butsuma: he's also your son now so shut up.

Madara entered Hashirama's show. he made the fire that burned the forest by throwing red and orange colored fabrics on hashirama who pretended to die.

Butsuma: Madara just threw fabrics at Hashirama.

tajima: Madara is a real comedian, how come he only hits hashirama with fabric!?

Butsuma: they are 9 years old.... What are you talking about.

Izuna and Tobirama have arrived. Izuna was a rich boy and Tobirama a poor boy. they had to show the children that no matter the social status everyone could get along. And also showed that bullying was something really unhealthy.

Tajima: come on Izuna hits Tobirama!!!

Butsuma: Damn darling! Sit down damn it.

Tajima: what!? but why is this the best moment of this show.

Butsuma: This is a scene that shows bullying is not a good thing.

Tajima: so what? That doesn't mean Izuna has to lose.

Butsuma: I'm really sorry. He said to the parents who watched them.

itama and kawarama had finally arrived. Tajima was fed up and butsuma was fed up with tajima. Kawarama and Itama showed that the smallest thing could save the planet. He was dancing with signs and picking up litter on stage playing key, key. The show was finally over.

Itama: dad you saw my show.

Butsuma: That was awesome honey.

Kawarama: and me!?

Butsuma: you were great.

Madara: Dad your sight.

Tajima: Yeah, that sucked.

Madara: what?

Butsuma: That was great! Dad and I are proud of you, the others were to shit!

Hashirama: Me too!?

Izuna: And me then butsuma!!

Tobirama: Hn.

Butsuma: great great! Not real tajima.

Tajima: I say the same as your father.

Butsuma: you had interest. Come on, let's get the kids home! let's celebrate at home.

Children: YEAHHH!! They say running to the car.

Butsuma: you're serious! Asshole.

Tajima: Well what?

Butsuma: let's go. He said with a sigh.

End.

Rating accidental game journalists' renbino edits I have saved on my phone cuz I'm bored:

What can I say... Renbino fans (2 ppl) y'all brought this on yourselves hahaha (I'm in huge renbino mood haha, it's probably dangerous at this point haha)

Anyways, I'm referencing to this post of mine lmaoo

Yeah as title says none of these edits are mine (IGN pls dont sue me i'm just a silly girlie🙏🙏)I added the sources for the ones I could find, it's just I'm bored as hell rn

More under the cut haha

Rank #6 (actually cant find the source again sorry 😭)

I think my least favorite from the one I have saved haha, Naho looks a little low quality (they pixelated my boy 😭) lol but hey, renbino is renbino haha

Rank #5

They cropped Ren just a bit too much lol, I love how they are in the same pose tho! It kinda looks like those icons set for couples haha (...anyone?)

Rank #4

I really like how Naho is on red background here and Joker on blue background! It looks even more like a genuine ship edit hahaha. Ngl I would set something like that as a blog header if I ever had some separate blog to just rant about them daily hahaha

Rank #3

Another one of the 'icon sets' how I would call them :P I love how badass they both look here, I love my both badass boys so much haha. I love how high quality it looks

Rank #2

I love how this time gaming journalist took effort to make good edit haha. I genuinely like this one so much! Although I find it quite funny because Ren looks like he was about to turn Akechi and shoot poor V-kun haha like what did he did to you besides being pretty as hell and making you blush, king? 😭

Rank #1

Okay I'm genuinely in love with this one. I actually had it as my PC wallpaper for a while but it turned out to be too lively and bright for my AuDHD ass (+ my dad was staring weird at my PC and I felt like V-kun was silently judging my SMT IV playtrough hahaha) so I had to change it 😭😭 Anyways the quality of this one? Wow, just wow. Certified Renbino content right here

Anyways that was my ranking haha thanks for reading to my almost 1AM ramblings, now I'm going to sleep I'm sleepy af haha
