[thegcldenguard]

Anya’s characters as Food Wars!

Al — Yūya Tomita

Tomita owns a Bento Shop in the Shopping District and is the chairman of it. He is VERY enthusiastic and also an awkward mess. I almost had Al as the leader of the RIce Bowl Society on campus, BUT then this guy showed up and how could I not make him the leader of a Small Business Coalition? (Also it was said in canon that Tomita and the Rice Bowl Society leader had very similar personalities).

Alana — Alice Nakiri

Alice’s whole speciality is molecular gastronomy… so she uses a LOT of chemistry! Also she is kinda high strung and dramatic and a lot of her story is about being in the shadow of her cousin, which I think tracks a lot with Lana.

Dipper - Zenji Marui

Zenji’s whole thing is the History of Food. He’s kinda spineless and easily bullied, but he is very knowledgeable and LOVES to research things.

Ting - Hisako Arato

Hisako’s speciality is MEDICINAL CHINESE FOOD, okay. I almost had Ting as Megumi, the love of my life, but Megumi seemed a little… too unsure. Hisako, though, had the perfect specialty for Ting and the perfect responsible personality.

Jane — Miyoko Hōjō

Almost had her as Nikumi, who’s specialty is MEAT, but then I met Miyoko… Miyoko is the heiress to Tokyo’s fanciest Chinese restaurant and she is determined to make her way in the cutthroat world of cooking by being RUTHLESS to men… but then finds herself impressed by Megumi

Phil — UNDECIDED; WILL UPDATE

Holley — Erina Nakiri

She loves rules. She loves convention. She gets flustered when things don’t go her way. She turns her nose up at people who ruffle her feathers. She has a godlike palette.

Vanessa — Nao Sadatsuka

Her specialty is concocting witch-like brews for her stews and soups. Also definitely hella gay, if a bit problematic about it. 

Howl — Satoshi Isshiki

He seems carefree and goofy (and is like…always almost naked), but he’s really one of the most skilled chefs at the school. Just hides that under his constant nudity 

Gil — Akira Hayama

He is Very Serious. He is an orphan. He owes everything to the organization that saved him (in this case One Woman). 

Alice — UNDECIDED; WILL UPDATE

Pepa — UNDECIDED; WILL UPDATE

Hunter — Takumi Aldini

My poor little meow meow…. My pathetic boy… listen, all you need to know about Takumi is that he declared a rivalry against the main character (who is like… not really invested in this rivalry) and after their first battle he was like TILL WE MEET AGAIN!! And dramatically left the room… then it turns out they were sitting next to each other on the bus and Takumi was SOOOO embarrassed. I love him.

[tailsisfluffy]

I realized that the majority I asked are women, I swear I'm straight 😂😂

Then pls more from shun (and the guys from PSD+ aldinis)

Okay! Sorry it took so long!

More NSFW stuff below!

Ibusaki Shun (5 more)

1.     He likes giving oral more than receiving.

2.     He talks a lot more during sex. What he says depends on the mood that he is in.

3.     His erotic spot is his neck. Very sensitive despite the turtlenecks he wears.

4.     One of his kinks is to be scratched up by his partner. Especially on his back.

5.     If his partner manages to rile him up, he will pick them up and carry them somewhere to screw around.

Isshiki Satoshi

1.     100% sadist. He gets turned on watching his partner’s expressions.

2.     Toys are ones of his favorite things to tease his partner with. He will have them walk around with a vibrator that he can control.

3.     He is also a 100% voyeur. He will ask his partner at times to play by themselves so he could watch.

4.     Edging his partner is one of his favorite kinks.

5.     Even though he likes to tease his partner, he never degrades them unless they want to be. He also knows their limits and is a total sweetheart during aftercare.

Marui Zenji

1.     He finds his partner’s voice hot and if possible tries to get them to be as vocal as possible.

2.     He prefers to be a bottom, as he doesn’t have much stamina and he loves letting his partner take the reins.

3.     When he’s really stressed or stumped on work, he takes the lead.

4.     He likes looking up various things for them to try. Mostly positions. He picked up an aphrodisiac recipe that they both like as well.

5.     His favorite fantasy is to get a secret blowjob while sitting at his desk. Too nervous to follow through with it, though.

Yukihira Soma

1.     He loves praising his partner during sex.

2.     Also very competitive. He will try to get them off before he does.

3.     He usually tries to get permission to do anything. First few times are verbal until he learns to pick up on the cues that his partner gives to him.

4.     Open to anything as long as it’s reasonable.

5.     He gets tired right after he finishes, appreciates a cuddle as he falls asleep.

Takumi Aldini

1.     He’s the kind of brat that his partner often has to “convince” him.

2.     One way to do this is to appeal to his ego and voyeur side. His partner plays with themselves while calling out to him and telling him that they can’t get off without him.

3.     Another way is to tease him. Physical teases are the best way.

4.     The quickest way is to challenge him. Do that and he’ll drag their partner somewhere private within a few minutes.

5.     He loves being praised, even if he chides his partner for it all the time.

Isami Aldini

1.     He’s a gentleman, but he has trouble keeping his eyes off a good ass.

2.     He’s into animalistic kinks, like possessiveness and bitemarks and hickeys. He only lets this side out in private, though.

3.     While Takumi is usually the one being teased, Isami is the teaser. Hidden touches and whispers in ear. His favorite tease is to take a few precious seconds to pin his partner on a wall and kiss them sensually before walking off like he hadn’t done anything.

4.     He’s mostly dominant in bed, but he doesn’t mind giving up the fight for control if his partner is insistent.

5.     He loves the idea of filling his partner with his sperm. If they are female, he imagines getting them pregnant with his child. But he knows how to control himself.

In preparation for Friday ... Let us appreciate the future top chefs at Totsuki when they still were cute little first years. And Isshiki, of course.

[wishingforatypewriter]

💓💌 For sosuke x bella, maryu

Sosuke and Bella

💓: who initiates most physical contact?

Let it be known for all time that Isabella Lucrezia Mito-Aldini cannot keep her hands off her boyfriend. She’s been known to drag him off to secluded corners so they can kiss or cuddle (she definitely won’t start anything in public because our girl has a fearsome reputation to maintain). Ofc, Sosuke does not mind in the slightest. 

💌: who is more likely to send cutesy texts to the other?

Both of them to an extent. Bella really hits him up every morning like “Rise and grind, pretty boy” (with heart and sunshine emojis) a full 45 minutes earlier than he would like to be awake. Sosuke spreads his messages out throughout the day. He thinks he’s being smooth, but it usually comes off as cheesy romantic. 

Yuki and Zenji 

💓: who initiates most physical contact?

Yoshino Yuki for the win on this one. A poor, unsuspecting Marui can be making breakfast or reading an article or bidding his students farewell after a lecture and then Yuki will appear out of thin air and pounce on him. He’s learned to brace himself for it, lest the both of them go toppling down. 

💌: who is more likely to send cutesy texts to the other?

Marui will send her a literary love pun or a quote from a novel every once in a wihile, and Yuki lives for this. Yuki will edit them into memes and then send those to him. Much of the time,  he doesn’t get the references, but after he looks up the memes he always finds them sweet and funny.

[isshinene]

Can you do HC about polar star in ishinene wedding ?

Oh yes! I actually talked about their wedding a few times but there is never too many times XD

Isshiki tried so hard to convince Nene to have their wedding at the dorm... she said no lol

Their wedding is a traditional Japanese one, which tends to be really small and doesn’t really need bridesmaids and groomsmen, but the sentiment is nice

Soma is Isshiki’s best man. Shun and Marui are also groomsmen

Erina was one of Nene’s bridesmaids. Her and Megumi also help to embroider some of Nene’s shiromuku in blue (per request by Rindou)

Yuki and Ryoko are dressed in their best kimonos and wait at the shrine for the bride and groom to arrive

They both are floored to see their senpai’s in beautiful traditional dress (or maybe they were just shocked to see Isshiki in clothes lol)

Daigo and Koji (who were initially invited as guests) take the liberty of becoming best man bodyguards and do an amazing job at keeping the pesky culinary press away

Fumio’s words of how beautiful Nene is were just as meaningful as if it came from Isshiki’s own mother. She feels good knowing she has approval from his PSD fam

Megumi totally cries during the vows and the san-san-kudo

The after reception is basically Japanese food heaven as both the Isshiki and Kinokuni family had catered it and the guests can’t help but lose their mind during the meals

Soma and Rindou go up to make their speech, to which Soma takes credit for getting them together during his RdC match, to which Rindou corrects that if anything it was Tsukasa *cue the both of them trying to remember when they stopped being enemies and started dating*

Ryoko brings her best bottles of sake from her brewery and the party livens up

Marui and Yuki are stealing the dance floor, Megumi is helping with the wedding photos, and Erina may be lowkey convinced that she might want a traditional Japanese wedding

Polar Star has arrived. 

[takoyakitenchou]

meddling; the good kind

i decided to clear up a few questions abt how Marui Zenji became Bookmaster of WGO in Genesis so ig this is also my commission payment/holiday gift for @polar-stars 

in which a double shot of jager (with some help from the nakiri cousins) pretty much cements marui zenji’s future.

If nothing else, Yoshino Yuki knew turkey. Like, really well.

Much to Zenji’s chagrin, the only takeaway he’d gotten from the American history seminar he and the rest of the PSD gang had enrolled in was that the Pilgrims rode a Dutch fluyt to Virginia back in 1620, but they’d decided to turn Christmas into a Polar Star tradition nevertheless. Wait. Massachusetts? Thanksgiving?

After losing pitifully in a game of hangman to Yukihira Souma of all people — seriously, how was the English lang and composition seminar supposed to prepare him to guess “#tarkeyshet” — Zenji had retreated to the corner of the kitchen to sulk and drink Sakaki Sake while Yukihira paraded around fixing an imaginary pair of glasses and knocked back a shot of Smirnoff Watermelon from Kurokiba’s locker at Legislation.

“Those specs really were for nothing,” Yuki grinned as she pulled him to his feet, took away his solo cup, and handed him a masher. “Come on, Marui. You can vent at the potatoes.”

Zenji aggressively articulated his ire at said potatoes to the point where Yuki had to yank the bowl from him. “The hell, are you trying to make extract? Go kill another turkey if you’re feeling murderous.”

“I’m fine,” sighed the dark-haired chef, massaging the bridge of his nose. “It’s out of my system now. But the sake is not.”

Yuki leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Sacrifice one battle and you’ll win the war.”

“Now since when have you been all philosophical?”

Without missing a beat, Yuki countered, “Since you got all mopey. Now help me bring the turkey out.”

Just then, Nakiri Erina entered the kitchen after knocking on the doorframe. The first seat took one look at Yuki with her mouth basically on Zenji’s ear and dropped her vodka. “I apologize for the intrusion!” 

She was already halfway out the door when Yuki and Zenji bellowed, “This isn’t what you think it is!”

Erina glanced doubtfully at the space (or lack thereof) between the Polar Star originals. “Um… in that case. Yoshino-san, do you mind if I talk to Marui-kun for a moment?”

“Not at all,” Yuki replied, and Erina was too distracted to notice the slightest inflection of irritation in the teal-eyed girl’s voice as she took the turkey out of the kitchen.

“How may I be of assistance, Nakiri-san?” Zenji asked, shifting his glasses and sitting on a kitchen stool. 

“I was talking to my mother earlier today,” Erina said after picking up her cup, a diplomatic air automatically washing over the area. “She was wondering when you would be available for an interview sometime in the next few days over winter break.”

Zenji gave a prominently uncharacteristic “Eh?”

With a thin smile, Erina continued, “My mother would like to have you intern with her so she can judge if I was right when I told her you’re going to be the next WGO bookmaster. I remember you mentioned something about memorizing all of the WGO guides in first year?”

Zenji blinked once. Twice. “You’re kidding me.”

“No, I am not,” the heiress replied. “I never kid.”

He gestured at her. “That was a kid just now.”

“Besides the point, Marui-kun. My mother would like me to give you her phone number so you can text her your schedule availabilities directly.” Then she added, “Also, that’s more convenient for me because I don’t have to be a mediator.”

At this, Zenji’s eyes bugged out to the size of his fucking glasses. The WGO bookmaster — and Nakiri Erina’s mother to boot — wanted to give him her phone number?

Marui Zenji needed medical care hella fast. 

“Um… I’m available whenever she is…?”

Erina shook her head. “I wouldn’t get used to it, but she’s catering to you.”

A sheen of sweat broke out on Zenji’s forehead. He pushed back his bangs and gave a long, pronounced exhale. “In five seconds, Nakiri-san, I will wake up and be so disappointed that I miss classes for the first time in my entire life.”

“You have a perfect attendance record, don’t you?”

“Yes, actually.”

“Perfect. That means you can afford to skip a day without getting detention. Unlike me and Yukihira.” Erina tapped her chin thoughtfully as Zenji made an indignant noise, then as if to deter any individuals that may have been eavesdropping, said in a low voice, “The one stipulation for giving you my mother’s phone number is that you ask Yoshino-san on a date.”

Zenji promptly fell off the stool. “Say what now?”

The eavesdropping individual made her debut just then. “Yes, well, as official relationship counselor of Nakiri Mansion and Polar Star, I am privy to some very public confidential information that you and Yoshino-san are both absolute nuts for each other. So I am prescribing you the following action: get the hell on with it already.” 

The Nakiri cousins looked extremely pleased with themselves.

“I agree with Alice,” Erina said primly. “It’s pretty obvious how much she likes you. And since we’re both extremely well-versed in the subtleties of romance, I do believe we’re more than qualified to make this diagnosis.”

“Oh, and look, Marui-kun. Your ears are turning red. Actions speak louder than words. Your silence speaks volumes.”

Zenji squinted at Erina. “Nakiri-san, am I correct to assume that even if I already had the Bookmaster’s phone number, we’d still be having this conversation?” “Duh,” said Alice. “Now’s your chance, Marui-kun.”

“I think I’d rather lose to Yukihira in another game of hangman,” he said nervously.

At this, Alice gave a sympathetic smile. “You, my friend, do not have the emotional capacity of a brick, unlike Ryo and Yukihira, so you should have nothing to worry about. Come on.” Alice grabbed Zenji’s wrist and yanked him to his feet. “She’s in the dining hall. Have a shot if you need the liquid courage.” She passed him a cup of Jager.

The scholar ran a hand through his bangs in an attempt to organize his hair, despite the fact that he already had the neatest cut in like… a ten-mile radius.

“This is for the Bookmaster,” Zenji said, trying to convince himself more than the cousins.

“No, it’s really not,” Alice replied. “Now get to it. Clock is ticking.”

“Also, every second you spend stalling is technically another second you’re ghosting the Bookmaster.”

Zenji exploded into action. He threw back the Jager and sprinted out of the kitchen at a velocity nobody would’ve dared imagine possible for someone of his figure… or his alc tolerance.

“That worked better than I thought it would,” Erina mused.

“Yukihira’s rubbing off on you,” Alice intoned. “You sounded a lot like him just now.”

Rolling her eyes and fighting the blush, the first seat waved off the statement. “As if I would ever be associated with anything influenced by his plebeian mouth.”

“Like… your tongue?”

“Shut the fuck up.”

Alice grinned and tapped her cup against her cousin’s. “Damn right I will, Erina. No need to emphasize the truth.”

The others were all gathered in the dining hall by the time the Nakiri cousins emerged from the kitchen. Zenji was — as expected — sweating as he attempted to approach Yoshino Yuki.

Souma and his strangely acute senses noted exactly what was happening (read as Erina had already filled him in on the details of the plotcounseling session), and he vaguely motioned for Yuki to turn around. 

“Yoshino-san,” Zenji began, and those that knew what was going on were all surprised at how steady his voice was despite the fact that he’d just drank what had to be two normal shots of herbal liquor at an ungodly speed. “If you’re available, I was just wondering if you’d like to go on a date with me?”

Yuki’s eyebrows disappeared behind her bangs. “Wait, what?” The rest of the dorm gave an excited whoop.

“… to the Polar Star garden…?”

“GODDAMMIT, MARUI,” they all squawked. Yuki managed an awkward grin and the will to live utterly disappeared from Marui Zenji.

Erina and Alice exchanged a glance. “Call the jet.”

“Gotcha. Ryo, can you fetch the Eclipse, please?”

“It’s on the roof already,” drawled Alice’s former aide. “Come on, Marui,” Ryo continued. “You’re gonna be like the rest of us by the time the sun comes up.”

“The hell does that mean?” sighed the dejected erudite as Ryo dragged him to the rooftop staircase in the back of the building.

“We’re destroying your perfect attendance record so you don’t have more honors cords than all the Elite Ten members combined at the graduation ceremony. Don’t even think about complaining. This is for our—I mean, your—good.”

The Nakiri cousins herded Yuki out of the dining hall after him, and the rest of the social club followed.

“In you go,” Ryo ordered once they were in front of the jet. He damn near picked up the chef who was probably half his weight and chucked Zenji through the hatch. Yuki was prodded on board after him, bleating timid complaints the entire time.

Ryo briefly entered the jet and they heard him instruct the pilot, “Take them to the Nakiri resort in Kobe. Don’t let them come back until tomorrow evening, am I clear?”

“Yessir,” replied the pilot, and then Ryo jumped out and the engines roared to life.

The inhabitants of Nakiri Mansion looked rather pleased with themselves as the jet departed Totsuki campus.

“You think that did it for their first date?” Ryo asked the heiresses.

“Duh,” Alice said with a flippant wave. “Erina and I are professionals. Now, we should start planning for their wedding. It’s Yoshino Yuki getting married, so teal dresses for the bridesmaids should do it.”

Erina nodded seriously. “I’ll start tasting cakes and contacting florists. The wedding’s going to be in Malibu, right?”

“You read my mind, Erina. Turns out we’re the same person after all.”

“Hell no.”

Ryo watched the cousins dive into all-out wedding prep mode over Christmas dinner and held back a smile—whether this was out of the mellowed amusement that arose from watching them bicker like five-year-olds or out of sympathetic pity for the involuntary fiances was up to debate, but it was a smile nevertheless, and that was all that mattered.

And the rest, of course, was history.
