The news about Mr. Taiki Matsuno (Tarte from Fresh PreCure) passing away is very saddening, but knowing that the respective seiyuus of Tarte and Kaoru have reunited in the afterlife truly adds a silver lining to this dark cloud. May they rest in peace! ✨

May I just say, it is very funny to me that you've somehow followed all 4 of my accounts in a 「very」 short span of time- okay, maybe the word "funny" isn't the right one, but... ye. I don't know how to explain it, haha! But whether it was intentional or not, it's cool. I love seeing the notifications from you, actually. To be honest, you genuinely make me smile from being so! :D ♡

(Proof of the accounts:

(This might make me look super insane about Mao, uh--))

Sorry if this sounded weird or something, I don't know how to properly word what I'm thinking, oops~! (Let's just blame the 「anxiety」)

ITS YOU???? YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE ACCOUNT LIKE DOSJFIEJFBRIS??? maybe i just didn’t notice or something idodndjf- it was indeed unintentional but you’re doing a great job of running those accounts! :) i like learning more about enstars (or really whatever im hyperpfixated on) and im planning on making a side account where I post random enstars interactions from the basic! Main story / side stories. But yes it is funny how I just followed all 4 of those accounts :D

[mingoooossii]

NCT Wish as OHSHC characters.

warnings: none really except for the pic coordination (my brain was NOT happy), maybe ooc, unedited

a/n: this is hella old and not really accurate i think :/ I'm still watching their content but yes i tried to combine both the worlds as much as possible!!

Oh Sion as Mori Morinozuka

• gentle giant 

• i can't express how much i love him-

• he's not the most extroverted 

• he may come off as a little indifferent at first 

• as he doesn't like bringing attention to himself 

• but helps the others shine more

• he's loyal and has a soft spot for his members, especially for the youngest ♡

• and like i said early, despite being more mature, he's very gentle

• so gentlemanly and so supportive of the other members :(( 

• he's literally perfect and i stand by it 

Maeda Riku as Tamaki Suoh 

• bro thinks he is the main character (he is)

• confidence is OFF CHARTS

• handsome and he knows it too well.

• literally everyone either wants him or wants to be him 🙂‍↕️

• is a little dramatic at times 🧍‍♀️

• but we all love him for that 

• he's also very playful

• loves to tease the other members (affectionately)

• and underneath all that, he's so sweet :((

• has enough love and care for everyone ♡

• considers the club/group members as his family :)

• self proclaimed "father" of the club (though it's actually sion-)

• but don't tell him that 😶

Tokuno Yushi as Kyoya Ootori

• MY MANNNNNNNNNNN sorry 

• our very own shadow king ♡

• the brain of the group 

• he's on the quieter side

• doesn't like to express himself that much

• he prefers to observe first and then act

• he's the closest to riku/tamaki

• like Sion he may come off as cold and indifferent at first 

• but he's very caring 

• definition of subtle love ♡

•  sobs i love him sm :(( 

Kim Daeyoung as Kaoru Hitachiin

• twin no. 1

• literal puppy 

• twins with ryo/Hikaru 

• he likes to be playful though just a little more subtly 

• he prefers to see the chaos unfold-

• though he's very sweet 🥹

• little more observant and tends to be attuned to the others emotions

• he cares so much and tends to prioritise other people more :(( ♡

• fiercely loyal to those who he cares about, the club members 

• and especially to ryo

• secretly has soft spot for cute things (not really a secret)

• he's too precious ♡♡

Hirose Ryo as Hikaru Hitachiin 

• twin no. 2

• chaotic and mischievous 

• extra emphasis on chaotic

• loves teasing and pranking the other members (his love language)

• drives the older members crazy 😭

• but he cares for them just as much (fiercely so)

• very bright and direct 

• he's very intelligent too (class topper for a reason)

• a sassy little menace when he wants to be 

• but like stated earlier, he cares for his members so much!!

• this also automatically makes him protective of them ♡

• he's just so lovable :((

Fujinaga Sakuya as Mitsukuni Haninozuka (Honey)

• boss baby

• no one can say no to him

• he's adorable and he KNOWS it!!

• 100% uses it to his advantage and no one complains

• but don't be fooled by just that

• he 100% knows how to kick ass if needed!!

• everyone adores him (I'm everyone)

• loves bread and sweet things 

• bakery is his favourite place for a reason 

• he also very much adores cute things

• evidenced by his BIG collection of cute keychains 

• but other than that

• he is more mature than he is given credit for

•  he very much adores his members ♡

• literally just a cutie pie ^^

I was making a list of my favorite KAORU matches in honor of her retirement only to discover that almost none of them are online.

My primary exposure to KAORU was as a tag team wrestler. As part of the Honey Wings and later on with Mayumi Ozaki as D-FIX. D-FIX vs Meiko Satomura/Ayako Hamada is one of my favorite matches. KAORU's performance as air-headed second/sidekick at the last ever GAEA show while Mayumi Ozaki takes on Sakura Hirota (wrestles...relentlessly bullies, whatever) always stands out in my mind as well.

What's your favorite KAORU match?

[cultofbullnakano]

Mika Takahashi and Kaoru Maeda, the Honey Wings. 1988. Love this photo. The Honey Wings, alongside the Marine Wolves and the Fire Jets provided some great tag team action in late 80s AJW.
