23. Are there any side quest storylines that you're particularly fond of or think of as being canon to your WoL's experiences?
and 17 for the other! Their ambitions!
well for 23 i went off on another ask about the Eden storyline, so uh, there's that xD Aside from that, I think Ellie is fully, 100% invested in Hildibrand shenanigans. She was utterly confused and exhausted the first time, but very quickly realized she just needed to roll with it or she wouldn't otherwise survive. She enjoys the aftermath when she gets to recount the zaniness to her friends in the Scions and none of them believe her for a moment.
A little more seriously; going with F'lhaminn to recover and bury Minfilia's cats-eye after Shadowbringers, to say her final goodbyes. Having been in love with her, it's brutally painful and sad for Ellie, but it helps her close the book on a very important person to her.
Speaking of closure: Our Closure, the level 80 DRK quest. Also vastly important, in terms of reconciling her darkness and accepting Esteem wholly for who she is...as Ellie Wiltarwyn in and of herself.
As for ambitions... Ellie used to want to attend the Studium to learn what goes into making an ideal society- a utopia. After she's denied that opportunity, she doesn't really know how to work towards that anymore and aimlessly drifts for a while. When she's saved by Raya-O, the Padjali girl tells her just to pay her kindness forward...so that's what Ellie does, forever looking for the ways in every situation in which she can pay forward to someone the kindness she was shown at the nadir of her life. It's not nearly as grand a vision as it used to be, but she hopes that philosophy can be enough to change the world one little step at a time. And it ends up changing the whole world a lot, so, you know. :V
For Ellie, that eventually manifests into a desire to seek more adventure, more ways to pay it forward. For Mia, though... she's just tired. She just wants to rest, in a safe place she can call her own, next to the people she loves. As a co-Warrior of Light, she ends up becoming one of the strongest people in the world, and would gladly give that all up to be able to just live peacefully at whatever home she can find.
Lily feels like the world isn't worth saving if there isn't someone or something she can love in it. Fortunately, even when she doesn't actively have someone to love, she is always convinced that someone exists, and she just hasn't found them yet...and she also believes that that holds true for everyone in some way, that everyone is living for love of something. She would never admit it out loud because she thinks it sounds childish, but that's her big ambition: find love. has she tried looking right next to her? whooo knooowwws

MAFIA!GHOST HAS ME WHEEZING CRYING RUNNING IN LAPS 😭🏃🏼‍♀️😩
imagine reader working in a shop that borders on the territory of another crime group, and said crime group sends their muscle to threaten reader to pay up and ghost hears about this
cue to him literally risking a gang war by beating the men up who threatened reader, ultimately marking her as “his girl” (for better and for worse, because being seen an his makes everyone else back away but also puts a target on her back and make her his weakness 🥴😭😩💕)
YES YES YES AHHHH ready for some more mafia!Simon lore?
see, the thing about our sweet ghost boy is that he is really good at fighting. violence is his specialty. back when he still did blue collar work, before he ever joined up with John, he used to do underground boxing. illegal, of course, because nothing legal ever pays good enough lmao. people would place bets and he would get a portion of the winnings, plus whatever tips anyone would toss his way. thing was, he never lost. not even when people fought dirty. he's quick, smart, brutish, he knows his shit.
so imagine when these goons try and threaten his girl? oh no. no, that won't fucking fly at all. and these punks think they have the upper hand. sure, he's a big guy, but three men against one? come on, the odds aren't in his favor at all. so they're especially surprised when they've got broken teeth, bones, bloody noses, ringing ears, you fucking name it, he's given them that ailment. everyone around him looks on in horror as he leans over the pained men.
"you got a problem, next time come straight to me. if i ever see you around my girl again, i'll fuckin' kill you. yeah?"
and when they eventually flee, you're freaking the fuck out. his knuckles! it looks like he got an elbow to the eye! that was one of the scariest things you ever saw! and you're trying to drag him to the back, trying to force ice onto his face and he of course listens because it's you.
"it's nothing, sweetheart, really."
maybe this is how shy!reader finds out simon's in the mafia lmao. but UGH i love the knight in shining armor trope i could write that shit for the rest of my life <3 i'm so glad you're enjoying it!

hello! i saw you take request about pjo and honestly, i loved your fics about leo! i was gonna ask if you could do general dating or crush headcanons about percy, similar to your one leo fic (i dont remember which one but i think you get it???)
thank u thank u thank u if you do it!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
gn! reader
💬: hii!! im so glad you loved my leo fics :D thank u sm for requesting! this is my first time writing for percy :')
📒: fluff, friends to lovers, reader is implied to be a demigod, not proofread (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
Tumblr media
percy crushing on you hcs
everyone in the camp knew this boy was whipped for you
especially his friends
HE IS DOWN BAD
grover literally knows EVERY detail of you even if you guys aren't close because of percy
he knows that you have a small mole on the left side of your face, how your nose slightly scrunches up whenever you focus on something, your favorite food/the food you always eat for breakfast, the little bracelet you wear everyday because of percy
percy sometimes talks to blackjack for advice?? or just rambles to the pegasus about you (he'd look crazy without context)
the Aphrodite cabin ships you two SO MUCH
sometimes they'd set you and percy up
but to percy's disappointment, you just brush it off because you always interpreted their ways as a way to make fun of you both
spaces out whenever he looks at you
his friends have to physically shake him out of it for at least 9 seconds before he gets back to his senses
whenever that happens though, they have to sike him up to actually talk to you
if a person pulls a dirty trick on you especially during training, percy's eyes would be burning holes through them
he doesn't hide his glare at all too 😭
his friends try and give you hints that percy has a crush on u, but they're REALLY subtle and careful about it
except for leo 💀
"y'know, percy has the hots for you," he randomly says in the middle of your guys' conversation??? like u guys could be talking about how the sky's so blue and then boom he says that
anyway
they'd definitely form a game plan to get you guys together for real (annabeth would be the mastermind)
they'd probably set you guys up to a blind date in this pizza place nearby
during the date, percy made up his mind instantly after you laughed at his ridiculous joke
he wanted to date you, not just have a crush on you. he wanted to love you, in a real way, not just from afar
and so he confessed
he was resisting the urge to kick his feet and giggle when you accepted his confession /j
his friends were probably disguised as "normal" customers, sitting in the booth across from you guys, or beside you guys, silently cheering for you both once they overheard that you accepted percy's confession
percy dating hcs
loads of aquarium dates!!
he'd gossip with you, a lot
hear me out!! minecraft dates!!
he'd put your beds together and stuff, and you guys have a pet axolotl whose name is a mix of yours and percy's (basically your shipname)
is BIG on pda, he likes to show you off, even the nymphs know you're dating atp
but he'd tone it down if you want him to, of course
whenever there's a new trend that comes up on any socmed app, he's so quick to invite you to do it
he definitely made a kisses hoodie for you soskpsf
you'd have triple dates with leo and calypso, and frank and hazel 💯💯💯
he's so observant it's scary
he's the first one to notice whenever you aren't feeling good
always checks up on you
sally also hears about you all the time !! whenever percy comes home from camp he likes to tell stories about what you and him have done
she already sees you as an in-law (even if you guys haven't met properly yet)
some of percy's pfps on his main social medias would be him posing with kiss marks all over his face from you
if you ever post yourself on social media, he hypes you up so much in the comments
expect at least a millisecond after posting, you'd have 28 comments from him immediately 😭
"THATS SMY PARTNER RIGHT THERE"
"I LOVE YOUU77I"
"everyone back off they're taken BY ME"
whenever someone compliments you infront of him he's like "i know, right? my partner's so amazing"
he emphasizes the word "partner" whenever he notices that the person might be interested in you, too
he can't help being a little protective
percy jackson, if you can hear us, please percy jackson, please save us percy jackson, please save us percy jackson

Shooting Practice
1600 words, raider!Joel x f!reader
Tumblr media
mood board by @milla-frenchy
A/N: FLASHBACK TO BEFORE YOU ESCAPE.. This isn't what I was working on 🚬🤡. WARNINGS: I8+ inner conflict, dubcon p in V (captivity), angst. plz suspend disbelief about shooting, etc. Raider Joel Master List, His trailer
FLASHBACK / IMAGINE
Between "Stash House" and "Failed Escape. "
Joel leaves you in his trailer sometimes if he isn't taking you on a raid. His trailer is nice compared to the stash house. Especially because his men aren't there, but it's also a little cleaner. You sense he’s a practical man. He doesn’t have things he doesn't need, aside from whiskey. He could sleep on the ground with nothing. The fact that his bed has sheets and a blanket–no, the fact that he even has a bed and lets you sleep in it–feels like a luxury. He doesn't just let you sleep in it. He holds you. It feels more protective than affectionate but you feel safe.
Joel only uses the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. When you come in the front door, you enter into the eating area, and turn left for the bathroom and bedroom. But if you turn to the right, there’s more. It’s a small galley kitchen. There’s a pantry full of ammunition and cabinets to your right, a utility closet, a closet, and then a room you’ve never seen Joel use.
In the living room, the carpet is scratched through in some places. It’s dusty. There’s an old forlorn sofa. The roof leaks on that end of the trailer. There’s a giant spot on the thin, blue, speckled carpet.The carpet is full of stains with various items scattered around. A dust buster. Two empty pet bowls in the corner, covered in cobwebs. There’s a TV/VCR combo and a radio. There are shelves with warped and faded books.
The first time you notice the children’s books, it makes your stomach turn. You ask Joel who used to live there. Hell if he knows, it was empty, the whole trailer park was. Most of the trailers are gutted, their insides destroyed by a fire. This one had been far enough away. You try not to think too much about who used to live there. You try spending time in the living room and it feels like your own space, but it's also spooky.
Joel has one of his men keeping an eye on you from down the hill, but it's for protection--to stop any of his men from going up there. You're allowed to go outside. When you have an opportunity, you explore the immediate area around the trailer– the top of the hill, and the woods. There isn’t much to see, and you don’t go far, afraid he’ll come back and think you’re trying to escape.
When you're hungry one afternoon, you try to forage for mushrooms in the woods. You find a collapsed, faded tent with a lump under it. Your gut tells you it’s a body. The next day, it’s in the same spot. You’re probably right. Joel always says it’s too dangerous, you shouldn’t go in the woods, and now you know why.
----------
One day, you’re feeling particularly restless, but you stay inside. When Joel gets home, he grabs ammunition from the pantry and is about to do target practice outside. You overhear him shooting when he does it.
“Can I watch,” you ask.
He glances at you skeptically, then mutters “yeah okay.”
You walk around back with him, the opposite side of the stash house, to the opposite ridge of the hill, facing the trailer park, with the woods on your left. There are shells of abandoned cars scattered behind the trailers.
The two trailers you’re looking at are marked up with spray paint, x’s, o’s, stick figures. One of the stick figures has a gaping hole in the head and smaller holes around it.
Joel sets up his rifle and gets down on his stomach, which gives you butterflies to watch. His triceps flex as he gets into position and his shapely lower body holds an interesting pose as he peers into the sight of his gun. He takes a shot and you don’t see where it goes.
“What’d you hit?”
Joel glances at you. “Trailer”
“Where?”
“See that guy with the hole in his head? went through that.”
You settle in to watch, legs folded to the side, fingers exploring a clover patch while he shoots. You pluck the little white flowers and consider making a crown out of them, but you would feel silly in front of Joel. You tear them to pieces instead with a lump in your throat.
Joel takes a few more shots, then asks, “wanna see?”
He scoots over and you swallow your emotions. You get on your stomach next to him. When you peer through the sight, you can see right through the trailer to the next one where he’s shot a large hole in the middle of an X. “wow,” you marvel. “all the way through?”
“yep”
“you’re really good at that.”
He cocks an eyebrow at you. “Wouldn’t keep ya if I wasn’t. Someone’s gotta keep ya safe, sweet pea.”
You nod and give a small smile.At this point, you’re still unsure where you’re better off.
You get out of his way. He takes a couple more shots while you pensively look for four-leaf clovers.
There’s nothing waiting for you back home, but sometimes, the way Joel plucked you out of your life doesn’t sit right. You didn't get to choose.
—------
Joel lets you watch him most days when he does target practice, and one day he asks if you wanna try.
"Look, uh, you don't need to be usin' a gun like this okay?"
"yeah, I know."
"but if ya wanna try it, right here with me. . .I can show ya."
"really?" He showed you his pistol before but didn't offer you could shoot it.
Joel nods for you to come over. You've shot a pistol before, in your old life, but never a long gun. You lay on your stomach, trying to emulate his stance. He moves your legs into position for you and you can feel the air on your inner thighs as your dress bunches up near your hip on your right side.
Joel cages you to the ground with his body, laying his chest flat against your back. He puts your hands on the gun and keeps his hands over yours. “You’re gonna wanna look right here.” He points at the sight then returns the hand to yours. “And hold the gun real steady. It’s gonna jump back at ya.”
“Okay.”
“Ready? I'll squeeze it the first time”
“Yeah.”
He squeezes the trigger and his arm muscles flex against you as he fires. It goes straight through the hole to the x. With Joel holding it steady, it doesn't jump back. The next time, he lets you pull the trigger while he holds the gun steady. When he shifts his weight in between shots, you can feel him getting hard. Each time, he puts less and less of his strength into it until he thinks you’re ready to do it on your own. He gets up off you and watches.
You line up the shot and take it. The recoil startles you even though you knew it was coming. The bullet pings a blank spot on the trailer next to the stick figure’s neck. You’re disappointed but Joel says “Good girl, look at that.”
-------
He takes the gun from you and puts it aside. Then he cages you to the ground again. He lowers his hips and you feel the shape of his stiff cock through his thin jeans. “my gun looks good on ya,” he murmurs.
You’re still up on your elbows. He put his weight on one of his forearms and reaches his other hand under your arm to cup your breast. He rolls his hips into you and gropes you. You’re getting wet. He does it once more, and you sigh.
"Not here," he says. "too exposed."
He begins to push himself off, and you feel the cool air against your damp panties as he sits back on his knees between your legs. He mutters, “fuck" and defies himself by reaching between your legs. He slips a finger under the cotton and when he feels how wet you are, he inhales sharply then mumbles, “gotta be quick.” When you hear his zipper, a wave of arousal hits you.
He hovers over you resting on his forearm again. "relax, sweet pea." You put your arms down and rest your head on top of them. "want it here, right?" He presses on the damp spot.
"Yeah"
He pushes your panties to the side and nudges his tip into place. You're wet but not quite wet enough. He spits on his hand and adds saliva to his tip before returning it between your legs.
He lines himself up and shoves into you, his girth splitting you in two. Your body rushes to catch up but he doesn't allow much time to adjust. He slowly brings his cock back, then slams in with a grunt. Then he goes at a jackhammer pace, breathing vocally and railing into you until he moans "ohh, ah–" and slows his hips.
He plunges to the hilt and sighs in relief as he fills you with his cum. You whimper on the edge, almost there yourself, but you don't know how he'll react if you touch yourself, so you don't.
------
Maybe you'll have a moment to yourself later. Or maybe--you catch yourself wondering--maybe, he'll fuck you later and take his time. You shame yourself for the thought.
There's no mistaking what your body wants. It's always wanted him, but there's something that scares you now. You're beginning to fear it's not just your body anymore.
-----
Thank you for reading
she's afraid her desire/acceptance isn't just physical anymore
Next would be Failed Escape
the last line:
she's afraid her body belongs to him and not just herself

dame katelyn de feu my beloved 😭😭😭
more bits under the cut!!
Tumblr media
katelyn first shows up to phoenix drop towards the end of season one under similar circumstances to canon mcd - jeffory's about to be executed for treason, and she's desperately trying to get his name cleared before he dies. however, when it becomes clearer and clearer to her that zane's using him as a scapegoat, she decides to turn on him and side with aphmau and the phoenix alliance ahead of the battle for phoenix drop.
Tumblr media
in ashes, ashes, jurors were originally ordained through the bestowal of relics - however, after they went missing a couple of centuries after the first war of the magi, they pretty much became just. super politically powerful guards until about twenty years before the start of ashes, ashes, when the high priest of o'khasis at the time (zane's predecessor) figured out a way to bestow the powers of the juror relics to the jurors without using the relics themselves. anyway, its blood magick and it essentially brands the jurors with a seven-pointed star on their foreheads as a mark of the ritual being completed. katelyn hates what the ritual has turned her into - even though long hair is lowkey pretty impractical in a fight, she keeps hers long so that her mark is hidden (jeffory did the same, and garroth will also grow his hair out a little to cover his mark). when she transforms, a lot of the saturation in her skin in hair is drained out due to the magick not being suuuper holy (in fact, the first casting of the ritual upset the balance of the universe so much that it woke up the primordial gods n they sicked a plague on o'khasis that garte would later blame on tu'lan biological warfare). additionally, because the magick of the ritual sort of like. blends in? with any magicks or witchcraft already present in the juror their juror form will reflect this - katelyn has fire magicks, so when she transforms, her hair turns into this sort of sickly pale blue fire. her fire is hot enough that it burns blue anyway, but yeah.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
katelyn burns her juror armour the minute she can once everyone gets out of the irene dimension. for a while, she just wears whatever she can scrounge up from around phoenix drop, but when cadenza finds out about this she gives katelyn this outfit! it's definitely done out of the kindness of her heart, there definitely aren't any ulterior motives don't worry. it's a lot more of a mercenary-ish look compared to her juror armour, but katelyn likes it just fine - especially since a certain flame-haired seamstress with a winning smile made it especially for her.
Tumblr media
a little headcanon i have about katelyn - i feel like even though she isn't great at sewing, having grown up in a minor noble house in o'khasis, i feel like she would have some skills with textiles. specifically, i feel like she'd knit and/or crochet in her down time! before everyone heads out to gal'ruk, she knits everyone some mittens/scarves/socks/etc. not sweaters, though - she's loathe to admit it, but she's a firm believer in the sweater curse. otherwise, nothing much changes except that she throws on a coat and calls it a day - i like to think that, similar to laurance, she runs a little hotter than most people due to her fire magicks sort of acting as a bit of an internal furnace, so she doesn't need to bundle up quite as much as the others.
Tumblr media
her day-to-day outfit is pretty much her standard guard outfit without the armour. she does wear an underbust corset/belt/thing with a small pouch attached, though - its very useful for carrying around knickknacks n stuff. otherwise, there's not much else to really comment on? idk. i probably shouldve added in some scars on her arms but its 11:30 pm at the time im writing this n ive spent way too long on this dang ref sheet already so yeah.
Tumblr media
i decided to change up her conqueror form quite a bit - the form i drew in my original lineup of the second war's divine warriors wasn't really katelyn n looking back on it i shouldve spent more time trying to get it right. anyway, katelyn's mother was from southern tu'la, and was from a merchant family with some distant blood ties to the royal family - katelyn is technically related to the king of tu'la, but the relation is so distant that she doesn't really consider him (or any of the tu'lan nobles, really) to be blood relations. it's through this lineage, though, that she's able to resonate with menphia's relic, although it definitely helps that she's the second war's incarnation of the conqueror. mostly, the design notes from her first conqueror design remain the same - all i've really done is change the colour palette.
Tumblr media
aaaand some headshots. i haven't exactly worked out how she got her facial scars - the big one was probably gotten on her first major assignment as a juror. however, it's nasty enough that when it healed it sort of fucked up her facial muscles - the scar tissue has permanently warped the right side of her mouth into a grimace, so anytime she makes a facial expression it's pretty lopsided (it's especially noticeable when she smiles). also, i changed the titling system for the jury to be more similar to the commonwealth knighthood system? like as much as i think "lady katelyn" is sick as fuck, the fact that it's the same title used for the female spouses of lords just sorta,,, didn't sit right? i guess? so yeah. dame katelyn.
anyway, feel free to ask questions if u want! :D

For the drawing requests:
I really liked your drawing giving Nana more cat-like features! Maybe try doing the same for Nekoette? I always get a kick out of factoring in genetics in character design, which I think is especially fun for cat markings
Introducing Niobe Ashida (of Phoenix Drop)! renamed her, decided she would have a dante-given name. Because i see a lot of people giving her japanese names, which are cute, but never any italian/greek names (Dante is an italian name, Gene is greek) and i wanted to.
Tumblr media
Also, in eastern Ru'Aun MCD-era, lastnames aren't used in most areas bc there's not a lot of cross-village travel, and villages tend to be pretty small, so if you're referring to Dave, you probably only know one. and if you know another, it's because he's from some other place. So technically, she is Ashida from Nana and 'of Phoenix Drop' from Dante.
ALSO! her hair is dyed blue (so is Dante's, Nana's is dyed too), and that's why it's the same colour as her little sleeveless vest-y thing (i don't know the names of things), bc wool dye!

This is the review I wrote for my Danganronpa Togami fan translation that I am currently working on, which I figured I might as well upload to Tumblr.
In June of 2023, after reading Danganronpa Togami for the first time, I wrote a review of it on Twitter. I want you to pretend like that review doesn't exist. Completely disregard it because BOY was I wrong.
When I first read Danganronpa Togami last year, I absolutely despised it. I was miserable almost the whole time. But I'm not the same person I was a year ago, I was naive and stupid, but now I have an IQ comparable to Albert Einstein! So basically what I'm saying now is I'm smart enough to understand it now. I couldn't disagree with my original review any more as I am now a based and enlightened Danganronpa Togami enjoyer. That's right, ME, the person who for a year made fun of this novel trilogy, finally sees the light I would like to issue a formal apology to Danganronpa Togami for being so stupid and blissfully unaware of its peakness.
Tumblr media
Jokes aside, the more the novel sat in my head, the more conflicted I began to feel about it. I felt pretty mixed about it when I first read it, but those feelings only grew. Were my criticisms warranted? Did Danganronpa Togami really deserve the treatment I gave it? I picked it back up and gave it a second chance, and I was surprised to discover that it was... really good? I thought you were supposed to be this edgy, nonsensical, stupid book, that's how I remembered it at least, so what happened?
I'm going to try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible, because something I realized is that Danganronpa Togami isn't something that can really be explained. It's something that has to be experienced, beginning to end. The summaries don't really do it justice, which is part of why I started this project in the first place. Though at some points I may dive into some minor spoiler territory, so I'll make sure to mark those parts. So consider this my apology and defense of Danganronpa Togami, because I have to admit that in my blind hatred for it, I probably did end up harming it's perception. So maybe, if just a little, I can rectify it here and maybe convince you to give it another chance like I did.
I will say, Danganronpa Togami is probably one of the darker entries in the series. It features a lot of sensitive content, such as graphic and violent imagery, assault, incest, and abuse. If that's enough to turn you away from it, that's fine and perfectly understandable, especially given Danganronpa's track record with those topics. And I will admit, there are absolutely times where Danganronpa Togami borders on being edgy. But I don't think it's without purpose, and it's handled with more severity than most entries in the series. Once again, if that's enough to make you not want to touch it was a 2000 foot pole, that's perfectly reasonable.
Everyone knows Danganronpa Togami is like, REALLY weird. Octopus suits, lightsabers, fortune telling human-cows, you name it. This all seems a little out of place, even for Danganronpa, but it starts to make more sense as you proceed with the story. These weird things aren't real, they're the result of an unreliable narrator. Contrary to what idiot me from 2023 says, I don't think having an unreliable narrator invalidates a story. Even with it, you can still piece together the events of the story and it creates what is honestly one of the best plot twists in the series that ties everything in the novel trilogy together.
If I have one critique of Danganronpa Togami, it's Byakuya's characterization. It makes sense in the context of the novel for him to be perceived as some kind of god due to circumstances and Blue Ink's POV and stuff, but that's not my issue. My main problem comes from the fact that some of his actions are just bad, plain and simple. He is NOT a good person in this novel. I guess it makes sense, this is before his character arc in Trigger Happy Havoc after all, but it just feels kind of weird and out of character sometimes. You could chalk it up to just "more unreliable narrator nonsense," but I feel that misses the point a little.
Tumblr media
Danganronpa Togami takes full advantage of its medium, it's twists are something that you can really only put in a novel. It's difficult to explain without going into spoilers, but unlike something like Danganronpa Zero or Danganronpa Kirigiri, I genuinely couldn't imagine Danganronpa Togami as anything else. It's also filled with a lot of fun and witty banter full of references and charming characters.
Danganronpa Togami has some really interesting themes of identity and how one's past or situation can change their perspective. This is seen all throughout the novel trilogy, whether it be the protagonist whose a victim, an idol forced into a popularity debate, or its version of the despair disease, acting more as a placebo effect here. Its themes are a bit more subtle than other entries, not even I'm sure if I fully get them, but they're certainly interesting.
Unlike Danganronpa Kirigiri, which feels like a completely unrelated story with a few elements from the games and Kyoko (not saying that as a bad thing btw), Danganronpa Togami feels like it takes as many elements as it can from the games and stuffs them in. It takes place during the tragedy, features characters from not only the first two games but also the novels, has references to Ultra Despair Girls, brings back weird plot points like the despair disease from Danganronpa 2, and so much more. In a way, it's kind of like a big Danganronpa crossover (also featuring Kagami Family Saga because Yuya Sato couldn't help himself lol).
At some point, you've probably wondered: "is Danganronpa Togami canon?" Due to elements from in it and the divisive nature of Danganronpa Togami, you can't really find a straight answer about it online, so I figured I'd weigh in on the discussion. If you asked me back when I originally read it if it was canon, I'd probably give you a hard "no." But it's a bit more complex than that. It's a little more complex than just a simple "definitively canon" and "definitively non-canon." Disregarding the unreliable narrator, there are parts of the story that we do reliably know happened.
The closest thing to a reference to Danganronpa Togami in any other piece of media in the series to my knowledge is Byakuya saying "by the dignity of the Togami name" once in episode 7 of Danganronpa 3 Future Arc, however Byakuya swearing on the Togami name has been around before the novels even if it is prominently used in them. However, a more definitive piece of evidence towards its canonicity is in episode 11 of Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc, where you see Sonia leading an attack on Prague with a graph of a satellite in the corner. I think this is a pretty cut and dry confirmation in favor of Danganronpa Togami being canon, albeit told through an unreliable narrator's perspective.

And that about wraps up my review and personal thoughts of Danganronpa Togami. It's definitely one of the more weird, yet fascinating entries in the series. I don't think it's on the level of Danganronpa Kirigiri (I don't think any entry in this series is), but it has its merits and hopefully I could convince you to maybe check it or appreciate it a bit more.

Whoops! It seems like twin-sync leo has run off to who knows where! Have you seen him?
[this answer is a collaboration with the original asker. the parts in april's perspective are mine, and the parts in donnie's perspective are hers. I hope this still makes some semblance of sense]
~~~
April nearly crashes into the turtle, just barely managing to catch herself in time. Maybe running around the arena isn't the best idea, but, well, she's gotta find her brother somehow.
After stumbling into an alternate April, Donnie blinked a few times in surprise, sure he knew there was other April's, but there weren't too many around in here.
"Uh, no, I don't think so," she says. She might have, for all she knows, but with how hyperfocused she's been on finding her own, she's spotted plenty of different ages, heights, eye colours, and so on. She hasn't focused to hard on anyone in purple, though, and thus she can't help but startle when she realises that this Donnie seems to have slider markings on top of his own. (She should probably be used to weirdness by now, but there's something especially off-putting about seeing something unknown in one of her brothers. "Have you seen my Leo?"
A moment too late, she realises that he probably doesn't know what her Leo actually looks like.
After registering her question he grimaced slightly as he spoke, “Ah… well maybe?? There's a shocking amount of blue here actually..” he ended his statement with a nervous chuckle.
April huffs, figuring she might as well take a bit of a breather. "No kidding. At least my bro's will be able to catch up with me if they don't have any better luck, I'm sticking out a bit I think."
She figures that they're probably still looking for Leon. She can't exactly imagine any of them giving up, unless they do something stupid like trying to use their ninpo to aid in the search.
"I wonder if there's a better way at catching their attention here than just running around aimlessly. I went to the, uh, lost and found corner earlier with my bros, but that place seemed to make it worse than better, to be honest. And, like, this is a really good opportunity to find my brother, since he's been missing for a while, so I can't just…" she trails off, then winces. "Right, sorry, you don't need my life story. Did your brother run off while he was here, or have you been looking for him the whole time?"
Donnie tilted his head to the side as he began recounting the earlier events that lead to Leo running away, “So we may have made friend while we were here, and he thought it would be fun to introduce one of HIS friends to US…” the striped turtle paused for a second “…which wouldn't have been a PROBLEM if he wasn't so… menacing, to put it lightly.”
The purple-clad turtle looked back at April with a nervous expression, “And he kinda… ran off at the sight of him…” the turtle sighed in frustration, “and apparently he got REALLY fast cause I couldn't catch up to him..”
"Ah. Good luck finding him, I guess," she responds awkwardly.
He then directed the question back at her “What about you? Has your Leo been missing long?” He asked.
April nods in response to his question, shoving her hands into her pockets and wrapping one hand around the fidget cube that she's got stored inside. She starts frantically tapping at buttons while she says, "Uh, yeah. He's been missing for over a year at this point, and we haven't had a lot of leads. He just... up and left one night."
It's not really the whole story. It's his missing arm, the one that's still in beta and specially made for fighting at that. It's the nail marks in Draxum's table, as though someone had frantically gripped it, and how Big Mama has been on their asses for months about a robbery that never even happened.
"When we got here, we realised that a lot of other reunions were going on, so we figured that he had to be here somewhere. But so far, no dice. The costumes really aren't helping any."
he took in her response and said “Oh, well my Leo was trapped in another dimension before this whole thing started, but we could still talk, sometimes at least.” He got quieter as he spoke, truly thinking about going a whole year without ever knowing if Leo was even alive… finally came to a resolve with a determined expression, empathy filled eyes looked back to the alternate version of his sister.
"That's good," she says weekly, forcing herself to push down the jealousy that builds. She'd give anything to talk to her missing brother right about now, but she isn't going to allow herself to get upset over something she's glad someone had.
He offered her a hand and with a smile he spoke “How about we team up and look for him together?” In his mind he resolved that his own Leo would be okay for a little longer.
April smiles and nods, reaching out her non-fidgeting hand to shake his. "I'll help find yours too, y'know. It's only fair. The more eyes the better, and all."
When they release the handshake, she grabs her phone out of her pocket, quickly flipping over to a folder full of comfort videos with her and her family. They'd made it shortly after the Kraang Incident, when emotions and separation anxiety were running rampant, and it's been getting tons of use since Leon vanished. She scrolls over to a group photo, taken just a few weeks before he'd gone missing, and shows it to the alternate version of her brother. "This is my fam, so that you can help look. I don't really know if I need help looking for my brothers, since supposedly we'll get tossed back home when all this is over, but... I don't know, it seemed important, I guess."
She twists the cube in her pocket, starting to toy with another side. She's definitely sure that the clicking of the button is now audible, but doesn't particularly care.
Donnie did his best to not acknowledge the faint, but still audible, clicking he heard in an effort to not stress April out any more than he may have already.
Looking towards the picture, he made sure to commit the faces- but in particular Leo's- to memory so he could accurately search alongside her.
As they searched, Donnie encouraged and contributed to telling stories of their respective Leos in an effort to lighten the mood.
~~~
Thanks for writing this with me, was a blast!

SLC Punk! relationship headcanons
Stevo
Tumblr media
-He'd be very uncertain about going into the relationship, because he would be scared that it would end badly.
-He goes into the relationship not expecting you to stay with him for a long time so it takes a while for him to realize the fact that you like him as more than just a friend with benefits. 
-No matter how long you've been dating physical affection is always something to expect, Stevo is a very touchy guy so even while doing something mundane he'll still be holding your hand, leaning on you, he'd have his arm around your waist or shoulders, etc.
-When you're around him and his friends he's always extremely close to you, especially if its with Mark, Stevo likes Mark and all but Mark has a tendency to snap and Stevo doesn't want you getting hurt, even accidentally.
-Your parents probably aren't to jazzed by the idea of him and probably won't like him at first but his charisma would win them over.
-Stevo will constantly be complaining to you about his parents and how they just don't understand him. 
-He'd help you dye your hair, but the color after probably wouldn't be even.
-He likes customizing random jackets with you and if you don't feel like customizing one at some point or you aren't there he'll make one for you or give you one of his old ones.
-If he gets too hurt while beating the shit out of rednecks, if he got hurt in a mosh pit, or a fight at a party, anywhere really, he'd want you to help clean or treat his wounds even though he could do it himself.
-Matching 666 tattoos to scare the people of Wyoming. 
-You'd get a lot of stares in public, even if you aren't punk and it's just Stevo who's punk. Stevo would always retaliate by yelling at them, only causing more people to give you weird looks. 
-You've been kicked out of 5+ establishments because of Stevo acting out, throwing something at someone or just yelling too much.
 -He would wear whatever clothing of yours would fit him, what do you mean that was your favorite shirt? Well its his favorite now.
-He'd give you small gifts, he's not one to just buy expensive things for someone out of the blue but if he sees an accessory or a piece of clothing you'd like he'd get it for you.
-Whenever you go out to Wyoming to get beer for a party you'd both put on shitty fake accents just for fun.
Mark
Tumblr media
-He would be skeptical of you at first, thinking maybe you just like him for his money.
-When he realizes you're genuinely into him, god, you could never get rid of him. He is always with you, always, you barely get time alone anymore. 
-Mark would be extremely jealous and protective of you, he'd also be controlling and probably would try to stop you from hanging out with certain people because he thinks they're into you. Even if you tell him they're just a friend he'd never let you be alone with them, often telling you they're untrustworthy and they're trying to take you from him.
-Always has his gun with him if you two leave the house to go to one of Stevo's parties and sometimes just when you go out as he feels its to keep you safe, although you insist you'd rather he'd not bring it.
-He'd offer to buy you things but if you said you didn't want or need him to buy you things he'll still do it.
-At parties he wouldn't let you fight in the crowd alone, even though he hates seeking out pain, he'd join you if you were having fun as to fight is to be alive. 
-When you're out with him he'd insist you never bring a jacket of your own as you prefers you to always be wearing his when you're out together or even at home.
-Stevo wouldn't understand how you'd be able to deal with his insanity as he's always on the verge of snapping but Mark tries to be more calm around you, though I can't promise he won't have his moments of craziness.
-He isn't big on PDA, he simply sees no point in it, however if he sees someone else hitting on you he'd get upset and if he's been in a good mood that day he'd just silently stand next to you with his arm around your waist, often throwing passive aggressive insults at the other person in a joking tone despite him being serious. If he's been in a bad mood or he's had a bit too much to drink he would get audibly upset and I can't promise gun related threats won't be screamed at whoever it was who was hitting on you. 
-He loves talking to you about all the cool shit he owns and he'd get slightly upset when you stop paying attention.
-He often has nightmares of the plane crash from when he was 5 so you try your best to comfort him about it.
-When he goes to visit his family's graves he takes you with him, you're the only person he's ever taken to see them and the only person he ever will because he trusts you most.
-Always telling you his crazy conspiracy theories, you can't help but laugh because of how seriously he takes this.
-You're parent's love him
-On most weekends he prefers to just lay around on the couch with you to smoke weed but sometimes he enjoys going to parties, even if he doesn't want to go but you do he'll go.\
Bob
Tumblr media
-He absolutely adores you, he never shuts up about you, Stevo's absolutely sick of it but he rarely tells him to stop because Stevo probably wasn't even paying attention in the first place.
-On the extremely rare occasion that he goes to the doctor, he'll only agree to go if you come with him. When you're there he'll either insist you hold his hand to get a shot or you'd have to hold him down so he doesn't attack a doctor.
-After going to a doctor he'd be agitated and in a bad mood for the rest of the day, and probably the next day but you try to reason with him and tell him that he needed to go for his own health, you end up agreeing to disagree.
-If you are at your house and decide to drink you'd have to cover your mirrors or make sure that he wont be able to see them. 
-If he does end up punching and breaking one of your mirrors he'd continuously apologize and go on about how he's gonna have seven years of bad luck, he's broken many but every time its the same and you'd have to treat the cuts on his hands so he doesn't have to go back to the hospital again.
-When he was originally in quarantine at the hospital you were the only person to visit him frequently, you were the one to help him decorate the room with black tape. 
-You're his go to person when he's upset or having a mental breakdown over his father so you learn how to comfort him pretty quickly and its likely that he'd been drinking so you make sure he can't drink for the rest of the day.
-If you end up doing acid with Stevo Bob would blame Stevo for making you do it with him, even if it was your choice, Bob would complain the entire time and give both you and Stevo the silent treatment for around a day.
-Whenever you attend a concert or go see a band play, both you and Bob hop up on stage to fight the band for no reason. 
-He has only ever taken you to meet his father once and will never take you back because he fears for you safety.
-After the visit to his father he had a pretty rough time dealing with it, he refused to attend parties or go out with friends for a week. He would apologize for putting you through that and he would be upset with himself for risking your safety, even if you convinced him that you were okay and that it was nothing he'd still beat himself up over it.
-You're parents are okay with him, they don't want him around a lot though so you'd often have to sneak him into your room so you could hang out. 
-If you live alone he'd prefer to spend time at your place as he feels there's nothing for you to do at his.
-He often expresses his appreciation for you, through words mainly but sometimes it's through physical affection. 
-He loves listening to music with you, even if the music was made by posers.
-You and him enjoy beating up rednecks and skinheads with everyone else but you only help sometimes, you mainly keep watch for police to help the others
Mike
Tumblr media
-He was the one to ask you out, sure, he was nervous but he was really glad he asked.
-He gives you flowers or plants to take care of, even though he'll help and probably the main person taking care of them. 
-He attends ALL of Stevo's parties so you also attend a lot but there are occasions where you don't go with and have to deal with a drunk or high Mike coming home late at night and probably having to deal with a tall, very drunk man crying to you about saving plants. 
-He's an extremely caring guy but he's also a little crazy, he'll go around one night with you, smashing in windshields of cars for fun, vandalizing shit and just causing chaos in the street. If the police are able to catch the two of you he'll help break the windshield of the car to escape. 
-Once you're back at his place he'll make sure you didn't get cut by any of the glass and make sure the cops didn't hurt you too bad. 
-If he sees someone bothering you he won't hesitate to beat the shit out of them, he won't even consider a second option, he WILL fight them and because of his height and strength he always wins.
-If you try to convince him that you could handle it yourself and he doesn't need to attack people, he'll listen and he'd he consider your feelings towards how he behaves. He'll try to stop, instead he'd try telling that person off, if they listen nothing will go wrong, however, if they continue they will wake up tomorrow with a lot of new bruises and scars. 
-He's very gentle towards you though, he cares an awful lot and is always worried about your wellbeing. 
-He's the one who cooks in your house, but on nights you come home from parties or nights where he's out you'll just order pizza and end up eating cold pizza in the morning.
-He likes just watching movies with you, although he probably falls asleep half way through.
-He is the big spoon more often than not, but he does like being held on rare occasions.
-He's always telling you plant facts because you're the only one who'll listen 
-The two of you move to Notre dame together but study different majors. 
-The poor boy would always be under a lot of stress

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the KHR cats edition entries inspired by @bonesetblues‘ KHR/BNHA crossover fic “curiosity kills the cat (but satisfaction brings it back)” continue. It's the Arcobaleno this time (finally)! Reborn Black medium hair thing. Adult Reborn's drawn with such ludicrously long gangly limbs that we went with some oriental breedtype legs. In the end we couldn't decide between yellow eyes and near-black (which is technically biologically possible but there's only one recorded instance that I know of and they didn't reach adulthood) so both are here. By far he was the most difficult to work out a pose for, he did NOT want to cooperate. Also, curly ear hairs because his curly sideburns needed to be included somehow. I was thinking at the start, either something very small so it'd seem more whacky when he ended up somewhere he shouldn't be, or something quite large, so I also tried throwing a little hint of maine coon flavour in there, but it's not very evident at the end of it I don't think. The fic author's thought for Reborn was Savannah Cat, but I looked at that and went, nah, for reasons explained later on.
Fon Another black medium hair, with some rusting. He seems the sort to spend plenty enough time outdoors during the day for it. I didn't realise before this that Fon has brown eyes, actually. Oriental cat breedtype.
Colonnello Ough the pose, easy, very cooperative. The colour?? not so much. KHR does have characters with realistic blonde hair, but Colonnello is not one of them He has Anime Blond, aka, Yellow. So, Shorthair Black Golden with high ticking, and low-medium white spotting.
Lal Mirch And yet another solid black. Longhair. Her pose was also a tricky one, we knew the vibe of what we wanted, but the actual doing of it was hard. Trying to do her scar was also hard because there just aren't any very good references for it (especially since the anime basically just. turned it into... a tattoo?). Gave her a bunch of white hairs from little scars and some around the face scar. Darkish orange-copper eyes was about as close as we could get to her anime... pink... ish? reddish? eye colour.
Verde Dark blue classic tabby shorthair with low white spotting and blue-grey eyes (teeeechnically probably not very likely since he's not a Point colouration, but they are Possible and the only way to match Verde's canon grey. Why does he have grey eyes, the one time you get an anime character with anime colour hair and he DOESN'T have matching eyes, honestly). The expression was the hard part here, mostly. Trying to get any balance of smug/pideful and annoyed scientist and intrigued at situation? Hard. How is he meant to do a proper science with paws. He cannot hold a pen to write and keyboards are not designed for paws. He needs to make an invention to facilitate this.
Skull Another difficult one to pose, trying to get the bluster and also the fear. Chocolate shorthair with ghost markings and blue eyes. Open mouths from any angle other than side-on are haaaaaard.
Uni Blue/cream charcoal torbie bengal kitten! And here's the main reason we didn't want to do savannah cat Reborn- Uni is an actual hybrid, although we don't actually know her f-generation (... would you call it that, in humans-and-related-species?) from Sepira, but we can guess she was within 10 or so generations. Very low cream, but it is there. Bonuses: Reborn (yellow eye version), Verde (anime colour version), Skull (anime colour version) (and Viper/Mammon is not here becasue they're with the Varia)

I got tagged by my good friend @goodluckclove for an OC interaction game! Below, I'm going to describe a day spent between Magnus Experah and Scott Skylark Kaufner at the Bay Harbor Institute for Magical Sciences. Scott is from their series Songbird Elegies! I'm gonna tag @korblez, @daisywalletchains, and anyone else who wants to play!
Read below for more ^u^
Scott Skylark Kaufner is a 31 year old human birthright from the Bluerose Refuge Hub, a witch town on the coast of Oregon. He is intersex, born with Kleinfelters Syndrome, and chose to undergo a masculine puberty and identify as a man. Scott is Greek-Romanian and I think German on his dad's side? I haven't established that yet. But he's a shorty at 5"5, with long and wild black hair and large, dark blue eyes. He identifies as a man, but prefers to dress in loose dresses in fun colors and soft materials. No shoes.
Scott is a bipolar variant birthright, which means he once had the ability to reflect his emotions onto those around him. But after travelling for years to find Eddie, he used his powers so often to get through social situations that they were infected, forcing him to inadvertently control the intentions of anyone that made eye contact or extended physical contact with him. Usually this ended with the person wanting to sleep with him. As a sex-repulsed asexual, this resulted in a rough few years for Scott. The fact that he was unable to see human faces due to the torture of the Eldritch horror trying to possess him did not help.
At his best Scott is friendly and talkative, though he tired quickly socially - as much as he tries to hide that fact. He loves the ones closest to him deeply and passionately and he has a tendency to get weird and overdramatic about it. There is an undercurrent of some manic intensity to him that most choose not to bring up and he doesn't seem to notice.
He's an obsessive piano player since infancy that can't read music but can learn anything by ear if you give him time. He also has perfect pitch but pointing that out embarrasses him. Scott loves the library and thinks that librarians, service workers, and anyone in the medical field are the most important members of society. Especially librarians. He loves reading books of Greek mythology but has a different relationship to them since his upbringing in magic causes him to think most mythological/supernatural things could maybe be true. He also loves a good snack and he's not great with technology but he's really good with Excel. Magnus Experah is an agender Petraedict, a species that resembles a cross between a monkey and a cat. They have large, mossy green eyes, mostly taken up by iris, with a rounded pupil in the center, with a light complexion. White markings wind up and down their skin, covered with a thin, near invisible, layer of soft fluff. They stand at an average height of 5 feet 7 inches, with a tail two feet long ending in a fluffy mass of fur the same color as their copper hair. They wear a set of smart, small spectacles that sit on the bridge of their flat, feline nose, covering the small spattering of white freckles that dot their cheeks. Magnus is a stern scholar, often stoic even amongst their closest friends. They prefer to be called by their student title of Honorable, the Bay Harbor equivalent of a Doctorate student. They struggle with tone and inflection, often coming across far more flat than they intend to be, and they find it difficult to discern tone in voice as well. They prefer to dress sharply, in suits of autumnal colors, and try to appear professional, as if they've already been approved for their dream job at the Magus Council. When they aren't studying, Magnus enjoys walking along the coastline, watching the ships sift through the ever present fog along the sea. They're partial to reading, as well, spending much of their time in the Institute's library, or in their study at home. They're fond of music, as well, though they prefer instruments to singing, and they like their music played softly. Magnus has a condition known as PNES, or psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, and as such is usually accompanied by at least one of their friends in the event of a seizure. Unfortunately, part of the process of seizing means they end up dumping all of their radioactive magic into their surroundings, warping and twisting them into something horrific. As such, they take great pains to avoid situations where there might be an abundance of noise, crowds, or yelling. They also tend to avoid conflict. They are quiet, a bit high strung, and prefer to be a wallflower.

That was a lot of fun c: Thanks for the tag!!

mm thinking of marking up my highness. we have an off day, so i decided that it would be a good time to show you my collection of oversized hoodies. unfortunately, i get called for something while we're half way through, so i have to excuse myself to go take care of it, leaving you alone with my jackets. as time goes on and im away from you, you start to get impatient, so you decide to just put on one of my hoodies. i mean, i shouldn't have left them out, right? it's oversized on me, so it absolutely drowns you in fabric coated in my scent. and you're just a puppy, so you cant help that you start sniffing it, trying to engrave the way i smell into your brain. of course, the little angel wants to be comfortable while he waits for me to return so he curls up in my bed. and if your hips start to grind against some conveniently placed pillows, it's not your fault. you're just a poor, needy little pup without his knight to take care of him like it usually does, so princey has to take matters into his own paws. and it just feels so good, doesn't it? it's only for a little bit, so it's okay, right?
when i return a while later, rambling apologies for taking so long, my words are cut off by the sight of my highness wearing my clothes and rutting against my pillows like a pathetic little mutt. couldn't resist, could you? now look at you. all flushed and stuttering because you were caught red-handed, trying to hide in the expanse of the hoodie. i ought to punish you, yknow? i don't recall giving you permission to try and get off without me. but it's okay, because I'm here now. coming closer and giving you kisses on your neck and telling you how adorable you are, how cute it is that something as simple as the way my clothes smell has such an effect on you. and then sinking my teeth into you, biting until it hurts, until marks are made, until the proof of my possession isn't fading any time soon. now, whenever you miss me, you can press on that spot and remember the way my body is pushed up against you, the way that my mouth feels on your skin, the way you're mine. because you are, aren't you? my highness, my princey, my darling angel, my pretty pretty boy <3
- 🌹
mmmMMMM whining whining WHINING youre so mean. youre BULLYING me... so mean to meee... whining stupid brain melting burying my face in the pillows so much. youre sooo. wah. wawawawa. my loyalest bravest dearest knight..... a BULLY (but also thank you thank youou... ehehe...)
crumbling into dust could you BLAME me ... sometimes i can be a little impatient and fussy and. if i had the chance to steal your hoodies and wear them i would take it... especially if it smelled like you. and like?? if you left me unsupervised with your hoodies and by your bed of course i would take the chance to get extra extra comfy... settling in and snuggling with your pillows... if i get worked up its only natural!! because the hoodie and your sheets would smell like you and of course that would remind me of all the things we've gotten up to..... its only natural to start rutting against the pillows and hoping you'll come back soon...
but also. i think since you come back... politely asking to (whining and pouting until you let me) rut against your thigh instead... whimpering like a mutt while rutting against your thigh, still wearing (just) your hoodie and looking up at you so, so so needy ... begging even... begging for you to bite me and mark me up more? please?
but also also. hehe. i think maybe getting bold a bit.. it happens very rarely but!! in a blue moon i can be very bold. a brat even. looking up at you with a little shy look as you come closer only to hook my leg around you to pull you in even closer.... impatiently tugging you in . like yes mayyybe you should punish me for trying to get off without you (you should!! you certainly should...) ..., but also you were the one that left in the first place !! so you should take responsibility for letting me get all worked up ... (by biting. and maybe punishing me. and definitely reminding me that im yours. hehe)

Episode 3: Inazuma Japan +Pineapples
[Eng Dub] | [Jap Dub]
*insert intro music*
Taken place in:
Episode 69: The birth of Inazuma Japan!
"WHO'S THE MAN?"
"I AM."
"WHO'S GONNA GET INTO THE NATIONAL TEAM?"
"I AM!"
Nelly's eyebrows furrowed, "...What... are they doing?"
"Willy's hyping his brother up. I think he's a bit nervous." Celia replied, dusting her camera, unfazed.
The younger twin took a deep breath, "I AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!"
"YEAAAAAAAH!"
The girls blinked.
The daughter of the chairman turned away from the twins, "Anyways, Silvia. Did Team A like the new uniforms?"
"They loved it. Some more than others." She chuckled glancing to the side at the trio.
"Like yeah, bros, don't you see how good this looks on me?" Marvin gushed holding out the bottom of his blue team-jersey, admiring its quality.
The pink haired middle triplet, Thomas, massaged his brother's shoulders encouragingly, "Very, like, very nice, yeah!"
The youngest, Tyler, nodded enthusiastically.
The eldest triplet posed. "Like yeah, I know. I took sooo many pictures. I can't wait to post them on MySpace!"
"Can we go nooooow?"
"No."
"UUUUUGH-GAAAAH, I don't get it! Why would you want to watch Japanese football?"
"There's always a benefit from watching strong players, Luca."
"Strong players? PUH-LEASE! Japan is known worldwide for many things: baseball, Sumo, judo, snow sports, and even golf but football? Even Japanese players, like YOU, go to European countries to play football!"
"You're right. But them, they might be able to make a change. Especially that goalkeeper there."
"You said his name is Mark, right?"
"Mark Evans. The captain of the football team for this here school. He turned a bunch of nobodies to the best in the country. He could do the same thing at the FFI."
"I'm guessing he's your favourite."
"But Mark isn't the only one."
"Oh gosh, you're going to give me a whole rundown of every single player aren't you?"
"You know me so well."
-
"Now who's that one?"
"That guy's twin brother."
"GO ISAAC! YOU. ARE. THE. MAN!!!" William screamed through a megaphone cone. "WOOOO!!!"
"He doesn't even have the ball anymore..."
"And Blaze is cornered by Carson and Murdock . It seems the whole of Team A is cautious of the Flame Striker, and rightfully so! What will he do?!"
Axel spotted Austin running towards the goal with Shadow trailing behind. He then kicked the ball through Max's legs, passing, "Go for it Austin!"
Austin received the ball and was about to kick it when something made him hesitate, and instead, he passed the ball back to a now surprised Shadow.
Then the whistle blew.
"And that's the end of the first half! The match we have today is a tight one with the score only being 1 All. The fight for a place in Japan's national team will continue after half-time!!!" Chester announced.
"Great job, guys. We just need to keep pushing the good work until the end of the game!"
Everyone in the team responded back to their captain enthusiastically except for one red head who rubbed the lower half of his back.
After scoring the goal that tied the game, Xavier didn't expect EVERYONE to jump on him. The only one who gave him grace was Alex, who gave him a high five after Team A got off of him.
I don't know if I should try to score again after that. He chuckled to himself with a sweatdrop as he walked towards the field.
"Here you go Jack."
Jack beamed. "Oh, Willy! Are you a manager now?" He asked, then chugged down the water.
His face scrunched, "Manager? Please, that stuff's for girls. I'm too smart to be a manager." He adjusted his glasses as they beamed under the sunlight. "I, William Glass, shall serve as the strategy advisor and support my brother in his undoubtedly successful efforts to team Japan!"
The dark green haired defender sighed in satisfaction and gave the bottle back. "Thanks for the water Willy!"
"Sure thing." He grinned... then his face fell as his junior walked away from him. "Hey, were you even listening to me?!" He yelled, shaking the empty bottle violently. After realising Jack wasn't listening, the brunette grumbled as he put the bottle away.
The girl tightened the sleeves of her tracksuit jacket wrapped around her waist, a troubled look on her face.
The first half is already finished... and I haven't done anything...
She thought back to the first half. How Jude, Nathan, and Axel wizzed right past all the midfielders and defenders after the kickoff. They didn't score, thanks to Mark being the only one awake.
On the positive side, yes, she did collect a few rebounds before the other team got possession of the ball, but that was the bare minimum compared to the clean interceptions others were making. What she should have been making.
What can I do—
Her thoughts stopped at the presence of the Blizzard Striker staring at her side with a curious glint in his eyes. "Are those pineapples?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah. Do you... do you want some?"
He flashed his signiture gentle smile, "Yes please. I've never had these before." He said before taking a small bite.
Her eyes widened, "Really?"
Shawn hummed then paused his chewing, "Aren't you going to have one too?"
"Oh, right." She bit a piece of her own, her shoulders began relaxing.
I needed this.
"Um Alex..." Shawn called. The teal-eyed boy stuck the tip of his tongue out, "my tongue's starting to tingle a bit. Is that a good sign?"
Alex's eyes widened as her shoulders tensed up, "N-nothing bad should happen. I must've not prepared them properly— I'm sorry!"
I was so sleepy last night I didn't properly make them!!!
I must've not cut them properly— Did...did I put salt?
Did I not leave it out long enough— Did I even notice if the pineapple was ripe enough?!
OH GOSH— OH GOSH— OH GOSH— OH—
Her racing thoughts paused when she heard the boy chuckle, "It's okay. Maybe I need a little kick," Shawn said, then looked at the field. "I haven't really woken up yet."
He hasn't woken up...
All those tackles, the amount of times he marked players from advancing into their side, his interceptions... He was being a better defender than majority of the defenders.
And that's him... when he hasn't woken up?
The grey haired player swallowed the last bit of the pineapple piece, "These are really good! Do you always eat them during halftime?"
"Y-yeah! And sometimes before I compete." She chuckled nervously putting the container away. "They're kind of like my good luck charm."
"Well if it's your good luck charm, I shouldn't worry too much then." He smiled with a thumbs up.
"And just so you dim witted co-ops know, I'm playing for myself only."
What a selfish little—
"Jude,"
He snapped out of his head, "Yes Axel."
"Don't focus so much on him. You have a team to lead." The number 10 reminded, a hand placed comfortingly on Jude's shoulder.
He nodded, letting out a deep breath. He stepped in front of the group making everyone pause what they were doing, "Team, I have a strategy."
-
"Sharp seems to be on a mission in these last few minutes. He's cutting through the defence like a knife!"
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
"Are you done yet?"
"Nope."
Jordan stared with wide eyes as he watched the power of his Astro Break decrease from the ball.
"And Wallside blocks Greenway's shot!"
They weren't joking when they said he got stronger... What if I'm not—
"Don't give up yet Jordan, we still have 3 minutes left!"
He shook his head at Jude's words, "Right!" Then raced to the ball as it was about to go out the corner. "Take it Shadow!"
Shadow received the ball, chesting it into the air. Dark energy began to surround him as he jumped into the air.
Tumblr media
Hurley was about to race down to block the shot when he spotted Axel and Nathan running down the pitch. His eyes widened.
Oh SHOOT— What if they're gonna do Fire Rooster WITH this guy's shot? I have to keep them out of it. The pink haired defender then looked behind him to the purple haired player staring at him with wide eyes, "Go for it bro!"
He replied with a hesitant nod before running in front of the incoming ball.
Here goes nothing.
Tumblr media
"Huh—"
Everyone froze in confusion, including Archer himself as the ball landed softly in front of him.
Did...did I really just do that?
"And Team B is without a goal thanks to..." Chester squinted his eyes, staring at the field, "that Number 3 in Team A! It's almost time before this tense game comes to an end, and the representatives will be announced. The question is, WHO WILL MAKE THE TEAM?"
"Great job dude!" Hurley praised giving Archer a thumbs up while running down the pitch, "Now you gotta pass it over here!"
Archer blinked out of his mini daze and kicked the ball.
However his pass wasn't accurate enough to connect and was intercepted.
Caleb's teeth gritted into a forced smirk as he landed. Then he dribbled past Archer, making his way towards the goal.
"You're not getting past!" David yelled and slid on the ground about to tackle him.
"Heh," Caleb backheeled the ball into the air as he jumped over David making his tackle unsuccessful. His mouth widened into an evil grin, "Too slow Cyclops."
But he didn't realise—
"Oh?"
"What the—"
Then, it was like time slowed down.
There, in the air her tracksuit jacket and hair blew with the small breeze while a concentrated look coloured her face.
"Did you see that! While mowhauk was busy mocking Samford below, he created a blindspot for the girl to get the ball above him."
"Yeah. That's a mistake a player makes when they get too cocky on the field. A rookie move."
The corners of her mouth rose ever so slightly. Her eyes shimmering.
His teeth gritted.
Oh FUCK NO.
Her eyelids closed before she then passed the ball.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
And—
"GOAAAAAAL!!! Evans's team pulls through with a goal within the last few seconds!" The umpire's whistle blew. "And that's the end of game!!!"
"Hey. Where are you going? They're about to select the players."
"You can stay to watch. It's obvious who's going go be on the team though."
"...It is?"
Seeing all the players drop to the ground due to exhaustion, the girl sat down and stared at the field.
Sixteen spots...
Her eyes glanced at both ends of the field, Mark taking off his gloves and Darren resting against the goal post. The two goalies are in by default, that's 14 positions left.
Axel's of course going to make it. He was the first to score a goal and the only one who scored against Mark.
And Xavier... His move was way more powerful compared to practice. That's another great forward.
He's great at dribbling. His move looked powerful too, but he had to shoot against Jack.
Even though he isn't very muscular, he's like a barrier. He is a great defender.
Jude is so much more impressive in person. His dribbling, footwork... the ability to make or break the flow of the game...
And I can't forget him. Especially after the trap he made, he's way smarter than people want him to be, I think.
He did an amazing pass even when he lost balance after a tackle... and he doesn't look tired even now.
He's strong.
He's very fast.
He was able to dribble past three people.
He's great at dribbling too.
He can read who the ball goes to next.
And Shawn... Shawn's just so good.
The white haired candidate pushed herself off the ground. She began rubbing her palms against her shorts as she made her way to edge of the field line.
Am I really talented enough... to play with players like them?
Hillman stepped before the lined up teens with another man.
"Before we announce the results of the selection match, I'd like to introduce you all to the coach of the national team."
Said man stepped forward. "That's right, I will be the coach for the team: Mr Travis. Pleased to meet you all." He then looked down at his black book, "The following are on the team."
"What a way to cut straight to the chase—"
"Number 14, Team White." He called, and there was a brief silence.
Then Jude stepped forward, "Here, sir."
"He's going based off our shirt numbers." Someone murmered in the bunch of players and everyone immediately twisted their heads to double (triple) check their numbers.
"Number 10, Team White."
Axel Blaze stepped forward, "Yes, sir."
"Number 10, Team Blue."
Shawn Frost.
"Number 11, Team Blue."
Xavier Foster.
"Number 2, Team White. Number 4, Team White. Number 4, Team Blue."
Nathan Swift, Scott Banyan, Hurley Kane.
"Number 5, Team White. Number 1, Team White. Number 10, Team White."
Thor Stoutberg, Darren LaChance, Jordan Greenway.
"Number 8, Team White."
Caleb Stonewall stepped forward with a smirk, "Here."
"Number 2, Team Blue."
"Yes sir."
Then his face fell as he watched the player— the girl who stole the ball from him step forward.
Alex Jones.
"Number 7, Team White. Number 3, Team Blue."
Austin Hobbes, Archer Hawkins.
"Number 5, Team Blue."
Jack Wallside.
"And finally, Number 1, Team Blue."
Mark Evans.
"And that's it, our chosen 16."
Kevin's shoulders slugged as he sighed.
"Hey. Keep your head up. You've come far." Axel encouraged holding his fist out.
"We'll meet again, Kevin. I'm sure of it!" Mark chimed in.
Kevin fistbumped Axel with a smile, "Thanks guys—."
"YOU SAID I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY!!!"
"I kno—"
"YOU SAID I WAS THE MAN WILLIAM!!!"
He patted his wailing brother's shoulder. "You'll always be the man, Isaac."
Tumblr media
"Hey,"
Jude gulped the sudden heavy lump in his throat, "...Hey,"
David flashed a small smile, "Congrats, you really deserve it."
Jude froze, not knowing how to respond to the compliment. He couldn't just say 'thanks' and move on. Their history became too complicated. He didn't want to make him feel like he wasn't enough, but at the same time, he didn't want to look like he pitied him because he really didn't.
Everything's not like how it used to be after what happened.
His fists clenched, "I really think you should've—"
"It's okay, Jude, really." David said, then looked at the audience. He was there, too. The candidate smiled again, holding his hand out. "We'll be cheering you on."
The playmaker shook his hand, "Thanks, David."
Then they parted way again. Jude sighed. He'll only be able to talk this out after the tournament now.
He straightened his posture as he made his way back to the group, Inazuma Japan.
"From this moment on, you are the representatives of our country. Those of you who were chosen, you all now bear the hopes and dreams of everyone who did not make it. Don't let their dreams go in vain."
"Yes sir!"
"This road will be long and hard. My job is to take you to the top, but you'll have to bring you're all into this. Are you all committed?"
"Yes sir!"
Alex heaved a sigh, her shoulders relaxing.
"I knew you'd make it. That was a really great pass." Shawn complimented.
"Not compared to your sho—" She stopped herself with wide eyes when she saw Shawn place a finger in front of his mouth.
"Don't remind them, or else I'll end up like Xavier." He whispered, a chill running down his spine at the thought of Jack jumping on top of him.
I heard he weighs about 150kg...
Alex nodded, pretending to zip her lips with an invisible zipper.
"I wouldn't have done it without you, though! I'm sure it must've been the tingling." He playfully winked, making the corners of her lips rise in heartwarming relief.
"Oh Shawn~ You scored a goal," Xavier began with his bangs covering his eyes. "You know what that means, right, everyone?" He asked, looking upwards, revealing a smirk everyone last saw on Xene.
It was only then that Shawn realised Team A was closing in on him.
Shawn stepped back onto his heel, ready to turn the opposite direction and run. He chuckled nervously, "Do you maybe have another slice of pineapple?"
"GET HIM!"

Do you think you could write a she/her deception Cybertronian reader being found by the scavengers? Kinda the same way they found fulcrum?
(PLATONIC, no romance. The only thing I ask is to make them funny plz 🙏🙏😁)
I"M SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG I DID RESEARCH TO MAKE THIS PERFECT
So sorry chef ;v; hope u enjoy
Warnings: Goofs
"Uuuughh..."
Your head felt like it was going to explode. You must have sustained some sort of injury during that scrap you had with a particularly large turbo fox- that ended with you stumbling and taking just the cheeriest of jaunts down a cliff.
"Hey! She made the same sound Fulcrum did when he-" "Shut UP. Stupidster. Damn it, Misfire, why can't you actually just find a dead one for once?"
Unfamiliar voices caught you off guard and you online your optics as quickly as possible, seeing a collection of Deception faces in front of you. Each one was so unique, especially considering your mug was now part of the collective.
"Where...? Who? WHAT!?"
"Oh great they can only speak in questions." The 'leader' of the group (Well you assumed so, he stood like a leader at least) rolled his optics and crossed his arms. That was probably the least of your concerns however. You noticed that parts of your insides were outside of you and in the hands of a smiling bot. You lurched away.
"WHY ARE MY TANKS OUT?" Misfire flinched from your scream, but a mech with a very nice chin came over to kneel beside you.
"Hey, woah." His servos smoothed your plating as well as your worries. "Sorry about my friends, we all thought you were dead." The bot pointed upwards, you had fallen a loooooong way.
"It's impressive you're even in one piece." The voice of a femme snapped you out of your shock. A medic on one wheel rolled up to you and snagged your tanks from the mech who had been holding it, and she began putting you back together. "Don't worry hun, we aren't trying to hurt ya. Just needed some fuel for our ship."
"Thanks?" At least she was patching you up.
Finally able to stand up and survey the group you saw them all staring expectantly at you.
"So like... We're the Scavengers." The second largest mech broke the awkward silence. The way he said it made your tension snap like a cord. Vents sputtered before you let out a full hearted laugh, coolest leaking from happiness and relief.
"I'm- heheh... I'm Y/N."
"Oh so they can speak without asking questions!" You shot a warning glance at the leader, feeling a bump at your side. A large Dino bot had nudged you and dropped your blaster from his mouth. Gently you placed a servo on his cheek and pet him, getting a very positive response.
"Sorry, again." The handsome mech replied. "That's Krok, he's a bit cranky at the moment. But if you really want cranky? That's Crankcase." He pointed to a blue mech with half his helm gone. A servo flew to yours to make sure that headache from earlier wasn't an indication that whatever happened to him didn't happen to you, thankfully, you're still in one piece.
"I'm Fulcrum, the better looking one of the group."
"Hey! I can get plenty of valve you cowardly piece of-" The purple mech that was holding your tanks earlier was silenced by the medic bot.
"Language, Misfire." She had thrown a bolt at him.
"And that's Misfire, and our doctor Nickel."
"Glad you're still with us kid!" Nickel beamed up at you.
Fulcrum then pointed to the two largest mechs in the group. "That dinobot is our friend Gridlock, yes, The- capitol T- Grimlock." The shock on your face must've been apparent as he explained a little further. "He doesn't remember much. Just don't walk up from behind him."
On closer investigation, that's probably what that bite mark on his shoulder was from.
"And the one that's spacing out right now? That's Spinister. Dumbest bot you will EVER have the displeasure of meeting."
Spinister was watching a piece of dust fly by when Krok elbowed him. The mech snapped to attention and waved at you politely.
Everything began to piece itself together. Where you were and how you got there. The bots packed up and were about to move on when you spoke.
"You said you were looking for fuel? I know where you can find some." Pointing back up the cliff you continued. "A damn turbofox took my energon, when I went after it I slipped and ended up here."
"So if we find the turbofox..." Crankcase began.
You helped him finish. "We can get off this planet." The others nodded in agreement. You saw Krok call the others in for a huddle. Some hushed whispers and grunts were all you heard of the conversation before they broke away and Misfire approached you.
"Alright Y/N, you show us where to get the energon, you can join the Scavengers." He tried to appear smart and charming, but the exasperated sigh from Krok and his slouched posture really made the mech seem like an idiot.
"Misfire that is not what I said." You were about to butt in with your own suggestion when you were cut off by a few tons of dinobot tumbling into you. A large tongue laved over your face.
"Oh come on Krok! Grim's already attached to her!" Misfire defended Gridlock, whose tail was wagging like a puppy. Krok looked to Fulcrum and Crankcase for backup, but the two just shrugged. Looked like everyone enjoyed your presence.
Krok pinched the bridge of his nose. "FINE. Lead the way Y/N."

Piggybacking off of your costumes comment: I loved a lot of them, but I wish there was a bit more of a cohesive silhouette. Especially so you could tell the passage of time a bit easier. ALMOST every era in history has a cohesive silhouette. Like the 1860s are known for the slim waists and the big circle crinolines, the 1520s known for the big sleeves and the head coverings (among other things)
It’s fantasy but there should be some cohesion.
Yeah that's my big thing, there should definitely be some sort of link in the costumes rather than everything just seeming very much like they all got dumped out of a bin and rifled through. It's one of the things that earlier seasons of GOT actually did fairly well, the fashion of King's Landing was defined with a specific kind of hairstyle and those wrap kimono style gowns with long hanging sleeves, men in the cities of Slaver's Bay wore those specific robes with knotted cloths that differed in types of colorings for the different cities specifically (white and green in Astapor, white and blue in Yunkai, blue and yellow in Meereen). Not only was there cohesion in the silhouettes overall, but there was also cohesion based on location, and key differences based on location as well, the same way that the silhouettes for fashion in our world have varied based on location and culture (the silhouettes of the Mughals during the reigns of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb looked very different to the silhouettes of the English in that time period, for example). Alicent and Otto are from Oldtown, which is actually pretty far removed from King's Landing, it's further south and on the Western end of the continent where King's Landing is on the east, so why not see some differences in the clothing that they tend to gravitate towards vs the kind that people who've lived in the Crownlands might wear. The Targaryens are also still clearly trying to keep in touch with their Valyrian roots at this point, what with all The Tapestries and everything, so why not have their own sense of fashion have a flair of Valyrian to it, to mark them as distinct even beyond the pale hair whenever they walk into a room, rather than just a simple red color scheme. Another issue for me was also just that the clothes never seem to convey passage of time? HOTD season 1 alone is meant to take place over a period of twenty years, and even in twenty years silhouettes change a lot. The costume designer I think said they were modeling a lot of the clothing on the Renaissance for instance, which is why we see a lot of men with chains of office on fancy occasions, and the silhouettes of the Renaissance also went through changes. For example, the 1550s tends to hew closely to the fashions we expect from Tudor dramas, wide and triangular skirts and hoods and hanging sleeves, whereas the 1570s was seeing the emergence of the types of fashions you think of when you think of Elizabeth I or Mary Queen of Scots, the beginnings of farthingales and puffed sleeves that were close fitted at the wrist and a lot of ruffs. It would have been cool to see how Rhaenyra and Alicent and Daemon's fashion choices all evolved not just due to personal decisions, but also to the simple passage of time and the change in styles that would come with it even if the changes are only slight, and it would have helped with the overall timeline better.
Yeah, there are costumes that I do think look good, and barring some nerdiness about why certain people aren't wearing chemises or other stuff (I know it's not real but like why isn't Alicent wearing anything under the green dress if she's just got straight brocade damask on her skin that's just gonna be uncomfortable, that's why people liked chemises back in the day!), but I do wish they looked more put together than they do.
