[pandoratelenor]

Bought a picture frame with the goal to frale some neat 1990 lotr printed illustration in it. Different well known fan artists, my siblings bought it literally 1990

Anyway found some... less possible to frame, but adorable 9 year old!me... photo collage? Some sort of pre tumblr dash board?

I had a lotr calender with movie pictures as a 9 year old. I made a little booklet of the torn of pages of it.

Anyway! Here is "Gadalf"

I like that i tried to write gandalf name on his picture. Like... i would forget otherwise?

The entire thing

When i say booklet, i meant it!

SR Leona Kingscholar - Playful Dress Vignette

"Once we got it started"

[Playful Land – Expedition Whale]

Trey: Really now… All the first years are just filled with energy.

Leona: Seriously. They ran around like crazy during the show, and they're still trying to drag me to all the attractions.

Leona: This is just as exhausting as when my nephew tries to tag after me. I've had more than enough.

Trey: Haha… Yeah, this also reminds me of how it is whenever I got to amusement parks with my siblings.

Leona: Thought I'd take a nap on a bench somewhere, but… There's nowhere with a decent amount of shade.

Leona: There's gotta be some place indoors I can relax… Hm?

Leona: This attraction they got here on the map… It doesn't look too terrible. Hey, Trey. Come with me for a bit.

Trey: Eh, me!? I mean, I don't really have any plans, so it's fine, but…

Leona: Good, it's settled. Follow me.

Trey: What in the world… Leona's actually inviting me somewhere!?

[Playful Land – Cue Sports Lounge]

Trey: Oh, this is the billiards hall.

Leona: Yep, this is good. The air conditioner works, and it's quiet and cozy. Just as I thought, it's the perfect spot to chill.

Trey: Ah, I see… You just needed a partner so you could hang here in the sports lounge.

Leona: So, how well do you know the rules of billiards?

Trey: Let me think… I've only played a couple times, but I have a general understanding of the rules.

Leona: Good. That makes my life easier.

Leona: Then… Let's go with the "rotation" variant.

Trey: Rotation…? What's the rules to that? Is that different from "eightball"?

Leona: In rotation pool, you score points based on the number on the ball pocketed.

Leona: The 1 ball scores you 1 point, the 15 ball scores you 15 points… And so on.

Leona: To win, we both try striking the balls and try to reach the points value determined beforehand. That's all.

Trey: Okay… That sounds a tad more difficult than the eightball game I know, where you just have to get the 8 ball in, but it sounds interesting.

Leona: Ordinarily, I'd set the target value to somewhere around 180 points… But it's a pain to try to calculate everything.

Leona: Let's keep this game simple and see who can get the most points in the first rack of 15 balls.

Leona: If you're good, we'll start.

Leona: So, I'm first up. Similar to eightball, we begin with the break shot, but…

Leona: Before I do that, I'll tell you an interesting tidbit about rotation pool.

Trey: Tidbit…?

Leona: Just like eightball, with rotation rules, the balls must be struck in order from the lowest number.

Leona: In other words, in the first half of the game, when there's more balls on the table and it's more difficult, you score less points, and in the later half, when there's less balls and it's easier, you can score higher.

Leona: Even if you have a bad first half, you can still turn things around later, and even if you're winning in the first half, you can lose it all in the end.

Leona: Basically means that even beginners have a shot at winning. Not a bad rule, huh?

Trey: Yeah. Except… Why did you decide to tell me that just now?

Leona: It'd be a pain if you thought I was being unfair just because I got a huge lead in the beginning without explaining everything.

Leona: I'm puttin' in the effort to make it fun for you amateur, too. Be grateful.

Leona: Number 15, left rear pocket.

[clack!!]

[thwump]

Leona: Hm, some of the balls were awkwardly placed, but I made it through somehow.

Trey: Urgh… Y-You won again…!

Leona: Ah, my bad. I completely forgot you were here too. Sorry I was neglecting you.

Trey: Based on how you were talking about it all, I assumed you were pretty good from the get go, but…

Trey: I couldn't keep up with you at all. It ended before I could get in a single point…

Leona: You had me a bit worried that I could lose midway through the game, but once we got it started, it was a complete blowout. Ah, yeah, that was a good game.

Trey: You were worried? Yeah right! You were yawning every time it was my turn.

Leona: So, what do you say, wanna play another round? I can give you a handicap.

Trey: Well, I can't stand for being shown up like this...

Trey: Play one more game with me, Leona. Only… You don't have to give me a handicap.

Leona: Perfect. Alright, we'll set up the break shot.

[Playful Land – Cue Sports Lounge]

Trey: Play one more game with me, Leona. Only… You don't have to give me a handicap.

Leona: Perfect. Alright, we'll set up the break shot.

Leona: Number 8, left rear pocket.

[clack!!]

[thwump]

Leona: Hm, the location of the 8 ball was in a difficult spot, but I got it somehow.

Trey: The score stands at 36 to 0… Even if I still have a chance to turn things around it's still a huge gap. Maybe he'll just carry it all to the end again…

Leona: Safety.

Trey: What's "safety"...?

Leona: It's a call that lets you drive the targeted ball to somewhere other than a pocket, instead of having to change up players.

Trey: I see, so you can move the ball safely without having to make a crazy shot… That's a good strategy.

[clack!!]

Leona: Okay, it's your turn. Make this fun for me, Trey.

Trey: Next… Number 10, right rear pocket.

[clack!!]

[thwump]

Trey: Nice, I sunk the 10 ball as well as the 9 ball. That makes it 36 to 19. You starting to sweat a bit?

Leona: Oh, man, yeah. You've caught up so fast, that I'm sweating like crazy. I might lose, whatever should I do?

Trey: Haha, you're not fooling me, saying it like that while you just lounge in your chair like a king… Number 11, left rear pocket.

[clack!!]

Leona: …That one ain't goin' in.

[thup, thup…]

Trey: Urgh, just like you said. But how did you know it wouldn't go in before you even saw where it was going?

Leona: Hey, come on, now, I may be me, but I still lead the magical shift club, y'know. Seems like you're underestimating what I can do.

Leona: It's easy to tell just by seeing the angle you hit the cue ball with.

Leona: I can figure out which way the ball will go, what it'll hit, and where it'd stop…

Leona: In a game, you always have to stay two moves ahead, lil' Clover. …Now it's my turn.

[clack!! thwump]

Leona: Game and match. Final score is 87 to 33, that's my win.

Trey: I knew it would be like this, but you definitely had me by the tail the whole time. How long have you been playing billiards, Leona?

Leona: Basically since I was a kid. The family chamberlain taught it to me so I wouldn't embarrass myself in social settings. Well...

Leona: Thanks to that, I got pretty good, but back before I enrolled here, I really couldn't enjoy any heated competition.

Leona: Even now, the only one that'll play with me is a bird-brained old man. Nowhere near satisfying.

Trey: A commoner like me can only possibly imagine…

Trey: But with how good you are, I can see how you'd have to hold back in certain gatherings so as to not sour the atmosphere.

Leona: There ain't nothing more boring and annoying than a game where I gotta hold back for my opponent's sake.

Leona: It ends up feeling like my hands and feet have strings tying them down, it's frustrating. Kind of like a puppet.

Trey: …Yeah, I bet. …Then, I'll make sure that I'll become a much better player before the next time we play.

Leona: Hah! The next time we play? Even though you got a beat down by someone who was just trying to pass the time? You're a sucker for punishment.

Trey: Next time, let's invite the other third years. Don't you think Vil or Lilia might be good competition for you?

Leona: Who knows. …But hey, if you think that'll be the case, I'll be eagerly awaiting.

Leona: Eagerly awaiting for the joyful moment where I can watch how you all'd dance for me in your frustrations when you get beaten to a pulp, that is.

First Dates

dom! Rhea Ripley x sub! reader

18+!! smut and fluff : strap on (reader receiving), vibrators, ribbon restraints, slight bratty reader (just a tad), multiple orgasms, squirting

guys it is smutty and nasty and toe curling

also it’s my first time writing smut and it was actually kinda difficult 😰 but i hope you guys enjoy lol

You were on your break and Rhea had just got done with the match she won so you ran up to her to congratulate her. Once she caught sight of you her smile grew and oh how you loved when she smiled. Whether it would be in a dark intimidating way on the ring, or a sweet genuine one. You couldn’t help but blush either way and Rhea chuckled when she noticed.

“Congrats Rhea! You were amazing out there!” Your eyes sparkled with admiration for her.

“Thank you love, and isn’t it time you’d start calling me by Demi? We’ve know each other for a while” She looked at you grinning while crossing her arms. Rhea, or Demi called you love often in a platonic way but it would still catch you off guard because of how you felt towards her.

“Ah i’m sorry Demi, i’m so used to your ring name haha, but if you don’t mind i was wondering if we could get a few drinks or maybe some dinner after? Of course if it’s ok with you and you’re not busy” You looked away, fidgeting with your hands.

“Aw are you asking me out on a date?” Demi spoke in a teasing manner and you were shocked.

“No no no it’s not a date! Well i mean unless you want it to but i’m sorry if it sounded like that i um…” Your face was red as a tomato and Demi couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re cute you know? Yeah it’s a date” Her gaze soften as she looked into your eyes, she walked away into the locker rooms. You can’t believe what had just happened, Demi agreed to going on a date with you and called you cute. You were for sure these feelings were just something silly and one sided. Sure you guys were friends for a while but you never caught that kind of vibe from her. You texted her the place and time and she hearted the message making you smile.

While getting ready you were thinking on how bad you wanted Demi. You wanted her in so many ways, sometimes you would daydream about her and play out your sexual fantasies in your head. You wanted her to touch you, to tie you up and fuck you senselessly. You wanted her to be ruthless and dominant yet you also wanted it to be sensual and sweet. Like lovers do, and maybe you were wishing for something that might not happen but you were hopeful as you were getting ready for your date.

You put on your sexiest red dress and gold heels to compliment. Soon later you got a text from Demi saying she was on her way to pick you up. This caught you off guard as you were just willing to drive yourself, but you loved the gesture. You grabbed your purse and kissed your cat goodbye as you walked out the door.

“Hey Demi! I wasn’t expecting you to pick me up but i really appreciate it.” You got into the passengers seat and you could immediately feel Demi’s eyes on you which made you gulp.

“You don’t have to thank me, you know i’d do anything for you” She gave a smile and you smiled back. Not much sound was going on but the music from the radio. Even so, it was oddly comfortable just having Demi’s company. You felt something touch your hand and looked over to be greeted with the tips of Demi’s fingers meeting yours. Your heart fluttered and your eyes looked away as you slowly shifted your hand towards hers. Demi hummed in content as she continued driving. The music on the radio had fit the perfect mood for you two, it felt so unreal to be with Demi. You wanted to tell her how you felt, if you didn’t make it obvious already.

“Demi?” you spoke only to stop yourself when you guys arrived at the restaurant.

“Is everything ok?” Demi looked at you after she was done parking. Your words wanted to desperately come out but it was as if your throat was dry and closed up. You were so nervous until Demi cuffed your cheek with your hand.

“Look at me” Demi coaxed you into meeting eye contact. The strong will to obey what she says took over and you did your best to keep your eyes focused. Her face was so close to yours, it felt like you forgot to breath as she came closer and grazed her thumb on your bottom lip. Letting the feeling take over, you closed your eyes. Demi’s lips met yours carefully as to test the waters. Once she felt like you were ok with it, she deepened the kiss and you gave out a small moan. You haven’t had a kiss like this in a long time but you were so relieved it was with someone like Demi. She pulled away and you were slightly disappointed.

“Don’t worry, i know” Demi teased, you couldn’t help but cover your face to hide the redness that creeped up on you.

“We…we should go to the restaurant” If you wanted Demi to take you, you didn’t want the first experience with her to be in a car. Demi laughed at your flustered expression and kissed you on the cheek before exiting the car. You we’re about it to get out too but she opened the door for you and took your hand.

Dinner was amazing with Demi. You guys talked about all the little things you were interested in and talked about how amazing she always was during her matches. You and her were friends for a few years but you worked backstage so it wasn’t always often that you guys would see each other. But when you did, you and no problem being with one another. Demi’s feelings had grown overtime along with yours for her. It was soon shown just how intense her feelings went when you went back to her house to finish where she had left off.

“hah…demi..” you gasped separating from the kiss but she only pulled you back in, over powering you. You loved it. She pushed you on the bed and turned you over to lay on your stomach so she can unzip your dress. Demi held you down and she was painfully slow with removing the article of clothing.

“Demi please, i want you so bad” you desperately whine and Demi just gave a teasing grin.

“I move at my own pace” she whispered in your ear making the wetness between your thighs even worse. Finally when she was done unzipping, her hands wandered all over you. Fingers tracing your spine all the way up to your bra which she unclipped. Then she moved down, one hand moving to your lower stomach and other hand teasing your chest.

“ugh fuck, please please” you begged. She slowly kissed your neck and you shivered feeling the pleasure all over your body. She knew exactly what spots to make you feel good and you questioned how she was so skilled. You stopped thinking when Demi’s fingers finally came to your clothed pussy making slow circles. You gasp and you felt her smile on her neck. Your hips pushed back into Demi as she quickened her pace. It was so good, so so good. It was everything you’ve been imagining and more. You needed her fingers inside of you.

“Look how wet you are darling, and i’ve barely started with you” She pinched your nipple and you let out a yelp. Flipping you over, demi then slide off your pink panties, the cold air hitting you. You looked down at Demi’s fingers still on you but this time her pace quickened you closed your eyes. She put your hands around your neck and forced you to look at her. Face contorted with pleasure, you felt a familiar feeling coming up and Demi knew. She took her fingers off your clit and you whimpered until she suddenly shoved two fingers into you.

“Ah! s-shit, Demi it feels so good nnng” you wanted to touch her but she didn’t let you

“Who said you’re allowed to touch me hm? Hands to yourself princess” Her deep voice was engraved into your brain. Her fingers curled up into you hitting that spot within and you felt as if your brain was melting. Pleasure was felt all over your body, your stomach, your thighs, hands. It was so much but you loved it. Demi made you feel so much pleasure.

“Demi i cant.. im gonna-“ You threw your head back as your orgasm hit you unexpectedly. Voice now growing as you moaned.

“That’s it, such a good girl” Her fingers didn’t stop right away even after your high, you couldn’t stop shuddering and twitching. Demi just laughed at you and gave you a kiss on your lips. She pulled her fingers out and sighed as you were finally able to calm down but only for a bit.

“You keep your legs open, or else i’ll keep it restrained” She gripped your thigh and gave you a dark look. You nodded and she smiled. You weren’t sure what she was about to do but she was about to make it very clear as you saw her head go in between your thighs. Your breath quickened. Demi licked a stripe up your wet cunt and wrapped her lips around your now sensitive clit. You couldn’t help but shake and tense your legs. Her mouth felt so damn good on you, you were spewing moans and whining Demi’s name like a broken record. She moaned into your pussy and you gripped her hair by accident.

“What did i say about touching me?” Demi stopped pulling your hand off.

“m sorry, im sorry, please don’t stop, im sorry i’ll be good” you begged and begged but it didn’t stop Demi from reaching for something. She revealed a red ribbon, it was meant to restrain you.

“turn around, don’t make me wait.” you felt like being a little bratty and shook your head while smiling. Demi gave a sinister grin and grabbed your face firmly.

“I said turn the fuck around, or we stop here. I know you don’t want that love so listen to me” And that was enough to get you to follow orders. Slowly, you turned around placing your hands behind your back.

“I won’t tolerate brats, don’t try that stunt again ok slut?” She gave your ass a little smack and you jumped. the slap stung, it was a reminder that Demi was the dominant one right now. You loved how she had control over you, that you are so willing to please her and let her do what you want. She must have picked up on your submissive nature a while back.

“If i’m too rough please tell me ok? I only want you to feel pleasure” Even though Demi was sure this is what you wanted, she still reassured you that there is no shame in asking to stop or slow down.

“please don’t stop Demi, it’s perfect. You’re perfect” redness bloomed from Demi’s face from that as she was putting the restraints on your hands. She flipped you over to your back and gave you another passionate kiss. You felt so much love from it, you desperately wanted to touch her. You struggled through the restraints only to no avail. The kiss became sloppier and Demi’s hands roamed your body once again.

“You’re so beautiful, i want you all to myself. I want this body all to myself” Demi verbalized her desires for you

“It’s all yours, i’m all yours demi” you gasped

“Say it again.” She demanded

“i’m yours, i’m all yours” you repeated over and over. Each time getting more desperate, demi placed her head in between your thighs once again. She place her lips around your clit and you groaned. You were so needy for her, you loved how amazing she made you feel. Her tongue was making you feel so good and you desperately tried to grab anything to keep you steady. You were on the edge of your second orgasm, Demi thrusted her two fingers into you. She was being so rough but you didn’t care, this is what you needed. As soon as you were about to cum, she stopped and pulled out her soaked fingers.

“noooo Demi please…stop teasing” you wiggled around hating the loss of pleasure but demi ignored you and reached for something else. It was a black strap on and a vibrator. Looking at it just made you wanna moan.

“Tell me what you want angel, i want to hear you say it” Demi was putting the strap on, not breaking eye contact with you. You were too embarrassed to say it but you spoke anyway to obey her.

“I want- i want you to fuck me with your strap i want you to fuck me until tears run down my face, please just make me feel good” you pleaded, demi was happy with that response and gave you another kiss. Everything felt so overwhelming, your body felt like it was on fire. You felt fucked out even though Demi didn’t even fuck you fully yet. She lubed up the strap and lined it up with your entrance, you waited in anticipation.

“Hurry plea-“ you were cut off from a moan that ripped out of you as she slid in quickly and smoothly.

“FUCK!” you arched your back. It was so big, you couldn’t believe it was able to fit. More like hardly fit.

“Demi it’s s-so much fuck it feels…oh s-shit” You could barely form sentences anymore

“That’s it, you’re doing such a good job taking it. Look at you all messed up because of me” Demi was gripping your hips, slamming into that sweet spot of yours and it was unreal how much pleasure racked through your body over and over. Tears formed at your eyes and Demi sweetly kissed them away while still fucking you senselessly. Demi put pressure on your lower stomach and you felt the knot in your abdomen break once again. Your eyes rolled back and you squeezed your legs around Demi tightly.

“That’s it sweet angel, give it to me. One more time ok?” you didn’t even come down yet but her pace remained brutal and ruthless.

“Dem…ghhhh” You couldn’t even manage to speak her name property, you were so fucked out. Your legs felt like jelly but you couldn’t help but still want more and Demi gave you more. Her hands were playing with your chest again, rolling your nipples between her fingers. All you could do was shudder and whimper from her touch. You didn’t think it could get any better until she turned on the vibrator.

“I’ll make you feel even better love, i want to give you everything” She looked at you with loving eyes and you just couldn’t refuse. She put the vibrator on your chest and you twitched from the vibration. Moving down, the vibrations now to your lower stomach. Demi turned it up by one before placing it on your sensitive bud. The rough fucking and the intense vibrations were too much to handle for you, you just wanted to hold on to Demi.

“d-demi! ugh untie my hands please…i just want to hold you please untie them” you were crying from pleasure

“Ok ok darling, its going to be ok” Demi reached under you to remove the ribbon and your arms shot up to engulf her. She gave a small laugh from the gesture and continued to move her hips into you. The vibrator was still on your clit, Demi felt every sudden movement from you and she loved it. She loved how much she can ruin you and get you to feel like this. Hot tears landed on Demi’s shoulder and she began to bite your neck. You gave a small whine in response. Every second Demi was fucking you with the vibrator on you, the more you got closer and closer. Your body tensed once again but it was so much more intense this time. You weren’t sure what was coming

“Demi! oh fuck oh fuck i’m cumming don’t stop ddont f-fucking stop” You held on tighter than before as waves of pleasure washed over you, your stomach tightened one last time but something came out. Demi looked down to see her stomach drenched and the bed sheets wet.

“You squirted” Demi had the biggest grin plastered on her face and you hid your face in embarrassment

“Demi i’m so sorry i didn’t mean to it was just so..”

“I’m that good huh? I fucked you till you squirted”

“Demi please don’t say that!” you hid your face even more but demi stopped you

“Don’t cover your face love, you’re beautiful just like this” She gave you kisses all over your face

“everything’s a mess…i’m sorry i’ll clean it up” You tried to get up but demi held you down

“i didn’t give you permission to get up did i?” you pouted and demi giggled. She littered kisses all down your body, and to your inner thighs. Then to your core, cleaning you up with your tongue

“ohh demi- mnn still sensitive” you panted, demi gave your thighs one last kiss and got up to carry you into her bathroom where she cleaned you up properly. She ran a nice bath for the two of you and you both shared a loving make out session.

“Why didn’t you tell me you liked me earlier?” Demi questioned while you were on her lap

“I just…i didn’t think you’d want a relationship or even liked me like that. Even if we were close, i still thought how i felt was one sided” You buried your face into the crook of her neck, Demi patted your head

“Well i hope that you got your answer” Demi snickered and you groaned in annoyance.

“Yeah it did, you gave me an amazing time” You looked at Demi, kissing her once again as she embraced you.

This is a little bit of a weird long question lol

I'm more asking your opinion about it haha

I'm trying to think on it - is Idia an Otaku because that's the setting the game is for (Japanese audience) and those are the signifiers that a Japanese audience would recognize as "nerd", or is he just an Otaku in general and would still be a "Weeb/Anime nerd" if the original audience was American/otherwise western.

Like - what I mean is in American pop culture, the "Weeb/Anime fan" is kind of a subset of nerd. Like none of the characters from "the big bang theory" (to my knowledge) are "weebs", they aren't our most generic image of a nerd. If a character/person is a "Weeb" it usually means they have a specific interest in Japanese media, and this doesn't necessarily correlate to other "nerdy" things.

Because in America/Western settings, Japanese fandom culture is foreign (thus me using Weeb instead of Otaku though plenty of people call themselves Otaku rather than weeb), so the implications of Idia being a Weeb is somewhat different - he's no longer a "generic nerdy character", but something a tad more specific.

So like - how there's beansfest or the use of honorifics or how the unique magic works with pronunciation - that usage of Japanese culture and language to express what Yana is trying to do, but it isn't necessarily meant to be Japanese in universe, because NRC is distinctly not set in Japan or even the Twst equivalent of Japan

Basically to sum up my rambly question - do you think Idia is supposed to be a "Nerd" in general or is he supposed to be an "Otaku"?

Tldr, would Idia be buying "comic books" in the EN localization or would it still be "Manga"

How exactly is our dear Idia the Nerdy foil to Hercules's Jock lmao

Hello hello!! Thank you for this question! ^^

Is there a word that can encompass both, in English? 👀

I think this connects to how the word "otaku" in Japanese seems to be different from the word "otaku" as it has been adopted by English, so this might be confusing 💦 But I will do my best!

I found an excerpt from a book called "Otaku Marketing" that provides an explanation of "otaku"'s original meaning, summarized here:

The basic definition of an 'otaku' is someone with a particular obsession who devotes an extreme amount of time and money to that interest and possesses deep knowledge and imagination regarding it. The term can be viewed negatively, describing a person who is immersed in subcultures that are difficult for the general public to understand, and who lacks communication skills. These days it has become more generally accepted with a meaning similar to "enthusiast" or "fan", and its usage has diversified, including terms like "health otaku" that contrast with the negative connotation, but the original image of otaku as being obsessively dedicated, introverted, and intense remains. Examples of otaku include military enthusiasts, railway enthusiasts, Johnny's Entertainment enthusiasts, Gundam enthusiasts, Hanshin Tiger enthusiasts, etc.

This is very much Idia ^^ There are many traits associated with otaku that we see in him, from his stutter to how quickly he speaks when excited, self depreciation combined with contradictory pride, net slang--even the manner in which he laughs and the personal pronoun that he uses.

In English it seems that, as you say, the Japanese-language concept of "otaku" has been separated into "nerd" and "weeb."

Idia is interested in things like puzzles, board games, horror movies with practical effects and Halloween, which might not be the first thing that comes to mind when an English-speaker hears the word "otaku" and may push him more into the "nerd" category.

Idia mentions reading manga and watching anime, but is this just because the game is being developed in the same country that produces those things?

Is this a case of Idia not being fully localized, and an American-developed Twst would have made him interested in American comic books and cartoons to suit its home audience, as you say?

I agree that NRC does not seem to be set in Japan or even a Twst-Japan-equivalent, but that might be exactly the point: Idia is interested in media from another country, and that is where things get interesting!

It seems that a Twst-Japan equivalent exists, and Idia is a big fan of their pop culture 👀

Sam mentions branches of his Mystery shop that exist in the "East," introducing things from real-world-Japan culture in the New Years events.

How canonical the New Year's events are meant to be is a little vague, especially because everyone (except Azul, Jade, Floyd and Scarabia) go home for New Year's in the main story--a point that is integral to the plot of Book 4.

But even if New Years is meant to be a fun little spin-off with no real connection to the culture of the actual universe, we also have a vignette where Idia explains what ninja are to Silver, saying that "they live in a far eastern country," and mentioning things like "shuriken," "fireball jutsu" and "samurai."

If there is another word in English that encompasses both "weeb" and "nerd" together, then I think that might be it! If it must be one or the other...I am not sure!

I have seen EN players who missed the Harveston event insisting that Idia doesn't actually like anime, just movies and video games, so it seems to be a divisive subject on EN.

Idia's interest in the pop culture from this unnamed country in the East is definitely not his defining personality trait, being only one of the many facets of who he is ^^

How to express this in English seems more complex than one may think!

Is it inaccurate to describe Idia as a "weeb" because of the depth of his interest in locally-produced board games and movies that have nothing to do with Twst-Japan-equivalent-media? If he is referred to as a "nerd," will there be friction because of lines like, "an anime can be so good it's literally life-changing"? Are the two groups mutually exclusive in English?

I am not sure I have an answer :> Would be most grateful for any opinions and ideas!

[honeybewrites]

Proud of Tag

Wow I got a writers tag?!?! Thanks @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag!!!! I got a little too excited to see that notification haha

Rules: post an excerpt you are proud of

Soooo I've never actually shared any of my writing. A spent a tad too long looking through my writings over the years. This is one I'm particularly pleased with, mostly because I finally nailed down (vaguely, this is still a first draft) how I want two characters to meet. So enjoy!!

P.S. I tried to get everything I could think of with the CW's, but if I missed something or another label would be better, please message me so I get it changed!

CW: condition, referenced physical abuse/torture, referenced blood and injury, referenced temporary death and resuscitation

The projections suddenly disappeared, vanishing like ghosts. Taking off the headset, there was no one else in the training cube. She knew better than to think it was a malfunction. No. Her training had been stopped for a reason. Taking off the rest of the gear, she set everything aside, standing and waiting in the center of the small room. Hands clasped behind her back. Staring ahead mutely. Waiting for whoever would deliver her next orders. Two minutes later, she heard Master Gerd's footsteps. Followed by another pair. The steps were heavy, long strides. Highly likely to be another male, though not a Master she was familiar with. The door to the cube opened. Master Gerd walked in, followed by a man. He was tall. Well built. Not as old as Master Gerd, but at least middle aged. Suntanned skin, white and gray shoulder length hair. A goatee completed the look. He didn’t wear the standard Mors black suit, but his clothes were certainly expensive and protective. The intricate knife on his belt and bulging bag with the Mirralian government insignia told her he was a respectable figure. One that was well above herself. But his eyes… they were like brewing storm clouds. Dark, dark gray, with a hint of white lightening when the light hit them right. Only there was no ferocity in them. They were gentle. Like soft rain in early spring. It was odd, to see that gentleness in a man’s eyes. What was more strange, was the fact he smiled upon entering the room. One that reached his eyes. Perhaps there was something wrong with him. What man would smile upon seeing her? Other than a perverted one she was tasked with seducing. Though his smile didn’t look like a perverted one. “She’s efficient. Loyal. Well trained and obedient. She won’t be near as difficult as your last Asset,” Master Gerd said to the man before turning to her. “Due to your increased injuries and… questionable mission tactics, you are being assigned a field handler.” She had become more careless in her missions. Leaving more messes and bodies behind. Coming back bloodier each time. Master Gerd had been growing more frustrated with it. Especially over her lack of tidiness. He’d said as much. Repeatedly. He couldn’t punish her directly for it, since she completed her missions effectively, but that hadn’t stopped him from finding other things to punish her for. The message was still clear. The momentary death and reviving needed after her last mission must have been the final straw. Though assigning her a field handler seemed a bit… unorthodox. She had grown more messy, true, but her completion rate had skyrocketed. She was completing missions normally reserved for squads or duos, alone, well under the allowed timeframe. Especially compared to before… no. Those weren’t things she should be thinking about. It wasn’t her place to question orders. She was trained to follow them. Nothing more. "This is Master Ronan Airvix. you will treat him with proper respect and you will obey his orders, just as you do mine. If I hear of disobedience, there will be serious consequences, is that understood?" "Yes sir," she said listlessly. "You've been assigned another mission. Debrief and objective has been sent to your comm. Airvix will be accompanying you. You leave tomorrow morning." "Yes sir." He turned back to Master Airvix, waving a hand in her direction. “Do what you will with her until then. She’ll comply. Though try not to do too much damage to her before departure.” “Her file has been sent to you. If you have further questions you may ask Healer Asurr, myself, or her if you wish. Though she likely won’t know the answers you want. She’ll need three hours before departure to prepare her gear and stop in Physical for her pre-check.” "Right, got it." Master Gerd left without another word. The door didn't make a sound as it closed behind him.. Leaving Master Airvix and her alone. She kept her position. Waiting for his instructions.

“I know Gerd introduced me as ‘Master Ronan Airvix’ but you can just call me Rage.” He chuckled a little. Hand rubbing the back of his neck. “Most people do. Nickname I earned myself in healing school. Uh, what else? Oh, I’m Mirralian, certified healer, and uh, I’m blind. Wasn’t born blind, result of an accident, but I’ve learned to live with it. Doesn’t stop me from ‘seeing’ and it’s helpful at times. What about you? What’s your name?” “Asset 703,” she said.  She wasn’t quite sure what to make of his little rambling about himself. Perhaps he just liked to hear himself talk? No. That didn’t seem to fit his personality. It seemed to make him uncomfortable if anything. So why would he bother? "Well yeah, I know your number, but what's your name?" "Asset 703," she repeated. This must be some kind of test. She didn’t have a name. Or at least, she wasn’t supposed to. Her number was all the identification she needed. Master Gerd had punished her many times when he caught her responding to a name.  Her name would never be spoken aloud again. It would remain buried deep in the crevices of her mind. Right next to the memories of them. She would keep those memories safe. Far out of the reach of the Mors. It was the only thing she had left to remember them by.  “Don’t the other Assets call you something else?” He asked. Brow scrunched. Frowning. “I’ve seen them call each other names before.” Many of the Assets did have names for each other. Most of the Masters didn’t mind. Even Master Gerd turned a blind eye to it.  But they were just Assets. She was different. Worse. So much worse. The other Assets didn’t talk to her, nor she them. If she was assigned a mission with them, they avoided her. She returned the favor and kept to herself. She was well aware her presence was unnatural. Disorienting. Unfavorable. There was no need for her to be close with anyone. She had learned her lesson on relationships well. Never again.

Umm, let's see... I'll tag @themboty @ink-enchanted @charlesjosephwrites @minamaybe @halfbakedspuds

hello, I hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if you can clarify something for me that I’m just a *tad* confused by.

I know Stephen and Clea separated on good terms a while ago because they had responsibilities to attend to (but obviously they still love each other). but did they ever get officially divorced?

thank you in advance. I hope it’s not a difficult question. I’d just love to make sure I’m not forgetting/misunderstanding anything. :)

Hello! I'm doing good, thanks for asking! How about you?

Answering your question... No, they never got an official divorce. Even in the cursed Fearless Defenders, when Clea requests one, they never touch the subject again.

They give "divorced" vibes in Cates' and Waid's respective runs, but truth be told, they are not your typical married couple since they are from different dimensions and their cerimony was more like a spell that binds their souls.

So, in short, no divorce. Their souls remained bound and they never had a chance to talk about it except for this issue (Doctor Strange v4 Annual #1).

This is so true that, in Jed's run, they treat each other as spouses as soon as they reunite, as if their status as a separated couple was never officialized. Or at least this is how the chronology for this specific issue works haha.

I hope I was able to answer your question. It's confusing but if you read all their interactions after Sorcerer Supreme, this is the best you'll get when it comes to canon.

Thank you for passing by!

[princemaxxson]

a new beginning🌹💜🖤

another request! this one is for @soulofamy💜 prompt was viola after she's recovered her memories and begins transitioning back to amy

this was a cool concept to me, so i was really excited to do it~ sorry if it doesn't translate very well, but i did try and blend viola and amy's styles a little bit, but i found it a tad difficult not to lean too hard on either side,,, decided that maybe this is the start of her transition, so it does lean a little more on viola, but i did try haha

for amy's part, i mostly took from vampire amy, to kinda symbolize that even tho viola is regaining her sense of self, she can never truly go back to how she was completely. this marks the beginning of a new amy; one who accepts the past but strives for a better future

+ picture of her with albion just for dramatic effect lol

[iifoundjoy]

How long does it take you take write/come up with fanfics?

(Also can we have more wholesome aidlyn shtuff :D

(*i also finished your new spiderman au! I love it✨)

not long typically!

it depends on if it's an au..usually ideas pop up one after the other on good days! but once ive started an au and continue to add on to it, coming up with ideas others haven't already done can be a tad difficult :')

i like to think im pretty creative when it comes to ideas and the routes i take, though!

and you bet you're more than likely getting more aidlyn... idk about the fluff part rn haha, im currently debating if ill finish up the last 2 chapters of my memory loss fic (The Heart Knows What the Mind Forgets) <3

[pokemonshelterstories]

Are there any Steel types that would make a good starter? I live in an area that experiences all seasons, but summer is really muggy and hot. It's spring here right now and it's been beautiful, but a tad windy.

in terms of both climate tolerance and general personality, bronzor isn't a bad choice! they're capable of handling a pretty wide range of climates, and while they aren't necessarily the most interactive or sociable pokemon out there, they also aren't liable to be difficult to train once you get a chance to know one. their care needs are really flexible, since they have no internal structures. i've talked with multiple bronzor owners who recommend them for someone getting used to caring for steel types. the main trouble most beginning bronzor owners have is training them to accept being polished when necessary, since they don't normally like being touched; however, there are several really good guides online on how to train your bronzor to willingly cooperate with its maintenance and care.

the difficulty with steel types in your climate is that they often do best in drier areas, since there's less likelihood of rusting...i think klefki is another potential choice for you, though! they can be a little mischevious around keys, but otherwise they tend to be calm and good-natured. you'll have to keep more of an eye our for rust than with a bronzor, but klefki doesn't have the complex joints and plating that some other steel types have, so maintaining them is easier. if you follow a good training program, you'll likely not hit too many speedbumps in training one- and of course, feeding them is as easy as giving them access to metal keys! i also just think they're super cute haha

youll need to do your own research past this point, but those are a couple of pokemon you might want to look at.

[actualbird]

I was so confused because your ask button kinda disappeared on tumblr web tsogshosogs

Anyway: Pokémon. Who in the NXX would have watched it and what do they feel about the show?

on my ask: oh nah, that happens cuz i close my ask box randomly and without announcement these days because sometimes i get overwhelmed by getting too many asks and that can trigger my brain issues, sorry abt that huhu

on pokemon: OHHHHHHHH this is gonna be a tad difficult because i didnt watch much pokemon growing up (i was a digimon kid) but....

i feel as if....artem watched it. luke played it. marius read it. and vyn has no idea what a pokemon is.

LEMME GO THRU THIS ONE BY ONE

artem watched it

hes the most classic and i think of the watchable pokemon medias, he'd actually like the movies much more than the shows. since, in contrast to the show's longform episodic nature, the pokemon movies have a tighter plot that artem, even as a child, appreciated much more.

i cant say more than that because i havent watched much of the show and have only watched one (1) of the animated movies.

that being said i also think artem liked Detective Pikachu. he would die for the bulbasaurs in that movie.

luke played it

luke has played every single pokemon game ever. the mainline games, the spinoff games, the old ones, the new ones, ALL OF EM. hes the resident gamer boi and his creds hold up here

i like to think the first pokemon game luke played was actually the original pokemon yellow on a gameboy color that he got from a retro antique store (it was definitely among the first things that inspired him to also open an antique store)

marius read it

as in, he read the pokemon special manga. why? because i read the pokemon special manga and im bestowing this honor upon him JHVSJKHFSD

BUT ALSO I JUST THINK HE'D REALLY ENJOY THE STORY. the manga is so dear to me and i think marius in particular would really enjoy ruby (because ruby is a campy bi bitch of a dude and marius vibes with that so much) and also the diamond & pearl arc because the whole premise of platinum, rich girl extraordinaire, being sent off with two fake bodyguards diamond & pearl...well i just think marius would love the hijinks in that arc a lot HAHA

vyn has no idea what a pokemon is

he didnt know how trading cards worked in SR Eternal Whisper, so this could totally happen. like, idk, pokemon didnt get a svartish dub so it never got imported there JKHVSDKJFHS

vyn: ....and you mean to say that the word is a portmanteau of "pocket" and "monster"?

luke, who has been trying to explain pokemon to vyn for the past 15 minutes: //strained voice. yeah. yeah it sure is, buddy

[whitevelvet-ly]

part 2 or alternative of the trust fall fic,, angst pls pelase e😔🙏

"trust fall...?"

even people who write titles have off days okay HAHA

PAIRING: scaramouche x reader

HEADS UP: gn!reader, angst with comfort because I'm too soft and scared HAHAHAA, can be platonic or romantic, mentions minor injuries and blood, scenario, a tad bit long I can't write short scenarios 👊

A/N: ANOON I'M SORRYE as much as I tried to think I couldn't write for anyone but my boy scara 😭😭😭😭 I didn't start writing angst until recently as well so I'm really hoping that it's to your liking 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

SCARAMOUCHE / WANDERER

"kuni!"

you yell, grinning behind him.

"what do you want?"

"trust faaaallll!!— ow!"

...aaand of course he wouldn't catch you. why would he?

scaramouche looks at you with a smirk growing on his face. "trust fall? what's that supposed to be?"

"you know... self-explanatory!" you say, groaning from the impact of the fall.

he sighs, crossing his arms. "it's a boring concept. why would you indul—"

suddenly, a sharp pain throbbed through the side of your knees.

"ow! ouch ow ow—"

"what? what, what happened?"

each wave of pain made you wince. why do smaller wounds always feel so much more painful than bigger ones?

he groans. "see? I told you it was a bad idea." the pain was unbearable for a second, and you had to stay in place for a while.

"the heck..." you mutter, checking on your knee.

archons, it's bleeding, alright...

"...let me see that." he says. it sounded like more of a demand than concern.

"hey, hey!— ow!" you swat his hand away, protecting your knee. "that hurts."

"why are you humans so pathetic?"

somehow, that amplified the pain even more. scaramouche's facade flickered a little, and so he stayed silent, inspecting your wound without touching it.

suddenly, he took your hand and helped forced you up. "hey! seriously... injured 'pathetic human' here!" you mimick, making kunikuzushi shoot you a glare.

"be quiet. just deal with the pain."

he hooks his arm under your arm, attempting to support you to walk.

"what are we doing? where are we going?"

"stop asking. keep walking."

you sigh, yet comply either way.

...

"...so, does that mean I can't trust you?" you joke.

"what?"

"I mean... you didn't catch me, after all."

he groans, muttering something abut your stupidity under his breath. "why? you lose faith in me just because I didn't catch you? how disloyal."

"no," you say, starting to worry. "I was just kidding, kuni—"

"fine. I'll catch you, if it means that you'll trust me."

"..."

scaramouche was never one to use talking as a solution. if anything, you find it quite hard to figure out his emotions. talking to him is difficult, which often makes you wonder how you two stayed together for such a long time in the first place.

but he still listens to you, and you still deal with his shenanigans.

"we're here." he says, interrupting your thoughts. "oh." you mutter, looking at the small shelter. that was quick...

"...????"

"what?" he hisses, becoming more irritated than usual.

"what's this?"

"I said: stop asking." you rolled your eyes, and you both walk inside.

when you saw the interior, you gasped rather dramatically. "ooohh!" you say. we're at a doctor's. you grin at scaramouche. he turns away with a scowl on his face in response.

"maybe I shouldn't have brought you here."

"nonsense," you laugh, ruffling his hair to tease him further. "come on, let's go."

[rachi-roo]

Fic request open? Hello ??? Jdjdhsksks *Dying*Sorry for being so sudden, I sure hope your day is as great as you are!💙

And if you don't write for x reader then maybe a little Fyolai? Or whatever pairing you enjoy from Bsd? Or even another anime you'd like to write for, I'm not picky!

Of course you can always refuse or ignore this, I'll already feel honored if you just checked this ask ! If you're too busy or don't feel like doing it it's alright your well-being comes first! And if this ask somehow made you uncomfortable then I'm terribly sorry I didn't mean it 😭

Bungo Stray Dogs: Little Pastry!

Hi, hi, hiiii! Waaa that's so sweet of you! 😭 I'm having a lovely day so far! Thanks you for asking, buddy! Honestly, I haven't done much x reader stuff before, so this was a nice change and a little challenge for me! Don't ask, don't know, Blue! 💕(*^▽^)/★*☆♪

Tachiharaaaaa!!! I need to know what's happened to him! He's such a good character, and he's fiiiine too~ σ(≧ω≦*) This was a fun little write, thank you so much for the ask! Have a fantastic day! ＼(^-^)／🩷💕

Summary: Reader thought it would be a good idea to prank the metal welding Tachihara!? What a silly thing to do. Obviously, he's not impressed and has to punish you for your actions!

Ler!Tachihara x GN Reader

Tw: Lil bit of flirting

--------------------☆ ☆------------------------

"SQUIIIRT!" You heard Tachihara yelling your nickname as you sprinted down the hallway away from his room at the Port mafia HQ, skidding around the corner and almost knocking over a priceless vase.

You knew your fate was sealed, yet you thought it best to at least try and escape. After all, you probably deserved whatever the metal bending PM member had in store for you as punishment.

Hearing the heavy footsteps of Tachiharas boots coming from the hallway to your left, you suddenly dived into the nearest room available to take shelter. It was dark, making it difficult to navigate as you tried to listen for your pursuers approach.

"Squiiiirt~" You hear his voice chime outside the door, sending your heart into a panicked frenzy as you immediately ducked under a table, bonking your head a little as you crouched.

The sound was loud enough for the red head to hear. He turned to the door, smirking sinisterly as he pushed it open, letting the light from the hallway illuminate the room as he looked around for his victim. You.

"I know you're in here, Squirt. Are you going to make this easy and come out? Ooor-" He stilled, spotting you beneath the table. "Haha, found you~"

He let the door close behind him, concealing his whereabouts in the darkness. You squinted trying spot him and brace yourself for an attack, but he blended in so well with the shadows.

The occasional footsteps could be heard in the darkness, circling you like a shark to a ship. The sound of metal shifting made you jump and squeak before silence fell again. Damn Tachihara, he always loved building suspense!

"Shit..." You whispered under your breath, deciding to try and make a break for the door. You scrambled for the handle in the dark, ripping it open, tasting your freedom!

"Fooound youuu~"

Tachihara breathed over your shoulder as he wrapped his arms around your waist, picking you up with ease and dragging you back into the dark room.

The two of you struggled in the dark, tussling and wrestling as your attacker tried to pin you down.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Tach-IHIHIIII-!" Before you even ad the chance to protest, Tachiharas hands found their way to your sides, latching on and kneading into your warm flesh.

"No time for waiting, Squirt~. You knew this would be the result of your mischief making. Now you gotta face the consequences!" He purred, leaning down and blowing a raspberry on your neck.

You bucked your hips, squealing and kicking your legs helplessly. The dark meant you couldn't see his attacks coming, but at least he couldn't see how flustered and red you were!

"Haha, listen to you. Squeaky lil guinea pig." He teased. You could hear the cold sheene of metal moving near by, your sleeves were suddenly tugged upwards by a set of forks and held up over your head, keeping your arms pinned.

"Now my hands are more free for this-!"

"Dohon't you dAHARE!" You yelp as a set of slender and dexterous fingers started skittering over your ribs, up to your underarms.

"NOOO! GahaAHA-! S-StahaaAAAHAHAP!"

"Stop? Ahawww, but Squirt, you have such a cute giggle." He chuckled as he rolled your shirt up, dragging his nails in slow, big circles over your stretched out tummy.

"Coochie, coochie, cooo~ Oooh, see? The way you tremble when I tickle you slow like this - Ugh, it really makes my day." He teased, tracing smaller circles around your belly button, grinning in the dark as he felt the warmth from your skin.

Your breath hitched as you bit your lip, cheeks puffed as you tried to stifle the chuffy giggling that was building in your throat.

"Squiiirt~ If you don't let out those sweet, sweet sounds, I'll have to use that method."

"You wouldn't!" You blurted out, trying to find his eyes in the darkness as a little panic showed in your tone.

"Oh but, Squirt, I would~." Once again, you hear rattling somewhere near by. "And, unfortunately for you, we're in the kitchen."

"Don't! Tachihara, please! I'm sorry! WAH!" You gasp, feeling several bristly brush heads dragging and flickering over your exposed sides, tummy, and ribs. Pastry brushes. With metal handles. Tachihara's greatest weapon and your downfall.

As he manipulates the brushes with his ability, the red head also kneads into your thighs with his nimble thumbs, smirking as he feels the muscles tremble and clench beneath him.

"Tickle, tickle~ Oho, isn't this fun? You're like a yummy little pastry that needs buttering up!" He jeered, taking a gulp of air and blowing another raspberry on your neck. "Mmhm-! A tasty pastry too~."

"StAHAaaaa-... *gasp* NOHO! Aaaha!"

"What's the matter, little raspberry bun? You sound a little flustered~ Are you?"

"Y-You knowhow damn well I-YAAHAHAHAM!"

"You are?" He grinned in the dark, you can feel his breath on your chin as he leaned in close, softly tracing up and down the back of your ribs.

"Good~ I'd hate to think you're not flustered by my actions, my words~" He purred, briefly pecking your cheek before unleashing a cruel attack upon your torso, sending you into a flurry of helpless breathy laughter as your legs beat and kicked on the kitchen tiles.

He was relentless. Squeezing from your ribs down to your hips, using the pastry brushes to follow his fingers, not giving your skin a break from the tickly sensations.

"Plehehease! T-Tahach- *wheeze* AAAHA! StAHAahaAAA-! Dahamn it! I-I'm gohonna dihie!"

"Aww, well, we can't have that now, can we? My lil' pastry." At once, the tickling stopped. You lay there panting with a smile on your face.

"Okahay... Okay... I-I'm sorry... Oh-" You flinch, feeling a hand cover your eyes, hearing the click of a light switch.

"Just didn't want to flashbang you." Tachihara chuckled, slowly removing his hand letting your eyes adjust to the lights, revealing his face, smiling down at you with that cheeky, toothy grin of his as he stayed kneeling over your waist.

You stare at each other for a moment before Tachihara gasped.

"You are so red! Oh gosh, I almost burned my little pastry!" He chuckled, sitting you up and wrapping his arms around you comfortingly. "I'm sorry, Squirt. Revenge has been served." He chuckled, tussling your hair.

A content sigh passes your lips as you share this moment before a feeling of dread fills your gut.

.... What about the other prank you've left for him?...

Thanks for reading!! 🥰

[baileypie-writes]

Hello welcome Bck from your vacation for A request can I request headcanons for A lazy male precure reader with the healin good precure (plantonic of course)

I imagine them joining shortly after Hinata/Sparkle and tends to be quite lazy dragging themselves with the cast during there slice of life moments and doesn’t tend to exert much uneeded energy unless needed (and fiercely protective like that episode where that guy from the photography club low key stalked Nodoka they would have to hold him back from transforming and beating him with A stick) and there easily the most aggressive precure in A fight

Also can his fairy partner be A red panda fairy.

A/N ~ Sure! I liked the fairy idea, though I didn’t end up including it. I just couldn’t find anywhere to add it, and I felt it was a tad too specific. So, sorry about that! Hope you enjoy!

~The Healin’ Good Pretty Cure with a Lazy and Aggressive Male Teammate~

Fandom: Healin' Good♡Precure

~Masterlist~

~Healin' Good♡Precure Masterlist~

Each character’s dialogue is their signature color, and Reader’s dialogue is uncolored.

~~~❤️‍🩹~~~❤️‍🩹~~~❤️‍🩹~~~

~Nodoka Hanadera/Cure Grace~

~~~🌸~~~🌸~~~🌸~~~

~ Nodoka enjoys your company a lot! Your lazy personality provides a nice contrast in the friend group, which she likes. And your laziness doesn’t bother her. After all, you still hang out with them and have fun! And she knows that even though you can seem out of it, you’re almost always enjoying yourself.

“Are you alright, (name)? You don’t seem to be having fun.”

“I’m fine. Why don’t you think I’m having fun?”

“Oh, well you’re slumping and acting pretty sluggish.”

“(name)’s just like that, Chiyu! So don’t worry!”

“Yeah, what she said.”

~ She always related to you a bit. I mean, she’s not lazy, but she definitely doesn’t have as much energy as everyone else. So it’s nice to have someone who ends up panting like a dog after running for only a few minutes.

“*huff* Hang on guys! Wait for *huff* us!”

“Yeah! We’re not as fast as you!”

“Oh yeah, sorry. How about we rest for a second?”

~ She was surprised at how protective you could be. You’d be all chill, but when someone messes with any of you, you’d basically be baring your teeth in anger. She’s always the one to calm you down in these situations. She just doesn’t want any conflict.

“(name), calm down. It’s okay!”

“No, it’s not! That guy’s literally stalking you! That’s a crime!”

“I know… but if it will convince him that I’m not responsible for the Megabyogens, then I can deal with it for a while.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t!”

~ Although, she was grateful when you defended her from that creepy Michio guy. Even if you were really aggressive, it did help to get him to back off a bit, which lowered her stress. So she made sure to thank you after the incident.

“Hey, stalker! Leave Nodoka alone, or I’m calling the cops!”

“I’m not stalking her, I’m investigating!”

“Does ‘investigating’ require following her everywhere she goes?”

“Well-“

“Exactly. Now get out of here before I get the police!”

“Okay, okay! I’m going!”

“Thanks (name). But I’m sure he’ll come back haha.”

~ When seeing how aggressive you are during battle for the first time, Cure Grace was speechless. She had no idea you had all that energy in you! Though, she found it incredibly admirable!

“Woah! (name), were you always this energetic?”

“Not really. It must have to do with me being a Pretty Cure.”

“Cool!”

~~~🌸~~~🌸~~~🌸~~~

~Chiyu Sawaizumi/Cure Fontaine~

~~~💧~~~💧~~~💧~~~

~ It’s a bit difficult for Chiyu to keep up(or keep down?) with your laziness. She’s a busybody, and very athletic, a stark contrast to you. But nonetheless, she enjoys having you around. Even if she has to slow down because of how slow you are.

“So I was thinking that we’d all stop by my family’s inn to relax in the hot springs, then we could- wait. Where’s (name)?”

“Here! Why do you walk so fast?”

“Oops, sorry!”

~ It scared her quite a bit when she saw you get protective for the first time. You went from being completely out of it, to fuming all in the span of a few seconds. It stresses her out quite a bit. Especially considering she was raised to only be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.

“What’s going on Chiyu? You’re not jumping nearly as high as you always do today.”

“So? You got a problem with that? Have you ever considered that she’s, I don’t know, tired? After all, she’s always working so hard. Give her a break, okay?”

“(name), calm down. It’s fine.”

~ She’s always the one who holds you back when you’re getting really protective. She hates conflict, so she really doesn’t want you to get involved in any.

“This creep is really pissing me off. He really needs to leave Nodoka alone. Hey (partner’s name), why don’t we get that through his thick skull?”

“(name) no!”

“Hey! Let go of me!”

“Please calm down! Let’s not make any rash decisions!”

~ Cure Fontaine was super surprised when she saw you fight for the first time. You were the last person she’d expect such feistiness from. But she likes your spirit! Even if it can be a bit much sometimes.

“(cure name), I think the Megabyogen’s down. So you can stop punching it now…”

“Oh, okay. (partner’s name), let’s purify him.”

“*sigh*. Typical (cure name).”

~ She always finds it funny how after the battle is over, you immediately go from aggressive to your usual, lazy self. It’s almost as if it’s transforming that makes you like that. She really wants to ask you, but isn’t really sure how.

“Well… that was a quick battle. We didn’t even get to do anything.”

“Yeah. I guess (name) kinda did all the work, huh?”

“Yeah. And now he’s slumped on a park bench, half asleep.”

~~~💧~~~💧~~~💧~~~

~Hinata Hiramitsu/Cure Sparkle~

~~~✨~~~✨~~~✨~~~

~ Hinata appreciates how (mostly)chill you are. She couldn’t care less if you tend to lag behind while walking with everyone, or if you may not seem as enthusiastic about things. She knows it’s just how you are!

“I’m glad everyone is having fun! Especially you, (name)! I didn’t think you’d enjoy this as much.”

“Wait, (name)’s having fun?”

“Yeah?”

“Oh. You just seemed so out of it.”

“Really? He’s way more into this than he is with other things! Can’t you tell?”

“No?”

~ She always wants her friends to have as much fun as possible, so she always makes sure that the activities she sets up would be enjoyed by you as well! This means that there are always some less active things for you to do. Things that don’t require moving your body so much.

“Why don’t we take a break? We can get some ice cream and sit down!”

“Yes please.”

“I knew you’d be all for it (name)!”

~ Hinata was also surprised when she first saw how protective you got. But she was impressed! She even started joining you in defending others. If you’re helping, then so is she!

“Hey! Stop picking on her!”

“Yeah! Find something better to do!”

“If you wanna get to her, you’ll have to fight us first!”

“Yeah- wait, ‘fight’?”

~ Your aggression during battle surprised her as well. But it definitely got her pumped up! Your spirit rubs off on her, and the two of you end up being the ones doing the most work during battles.

“Hyah!”

“Woah, nice punch! Lemme have a turn!”

“Sure, go ahead!”

“Uh guys, this isn’t a game you know…”

~ She sees nothing wrong with your aggression and protectiveness. In fact, it’s some of her favorite things about you! The fact that you can go from lazy and chill, to defensive all because you care about your friends is never bad in her mind!

“(name), I get that you’re trying to protect Nodoka, but you need to stop being so aggressive! You’re just making us look even more suspicious!

“But Chiyu, Masuko is being a nuisance. He really needs someone to knock some sense into him!”

“See, Hinata gets it!”

~~~✨~~~✨~~~✨~~~

~Asumi Fuurin/Cure Earth~

~~~🎐~~~🎐~~~🎐~~~

~ Asumi is a simple girl. She has the appearance of an adult, but she was only born a while ago. So there are some things that she fails to understand. One of those things being your laziness. It’s not the lazy part itself, but it’s how it makes you always look so out of things. She ends up thinking you’re in a bad mood, or not having a good time. She even began to think that you didn’t like her.

“Hinata, I think (name) dislikes me.”

“What? What makes you think that?”

“He never seems interested whenever I talk to him. And whenever I spend time with him, he doesn’t seem to be having a good time.”

“Oh! Don’t worry, that’s just how he is! I promise, he sees you as a friend!”

“Really?”

“Yep! He always acts like that. He’s just not an energetic person. I know he may seem bored, but he’s not!

“Oh, alright.”

~ The rest of the girls, having known you for longer, quickly informed her that wasn’t the case. So she now understands how you are. Though, it still confuses her sometimes. So she still occasionally asks if you’re having fun, just to be sure.

“Are you enjoying yourself (name)?”

“Yeah, I’m having fun. Why?”

“Just making sure. It’s hard for me to tell.”

“Yeah, I get that a lot.”

~ Asumi is very protective of Latte, so she relates to you when she sees how protective you are of others. She may not be as aggressive, but she understands how you feel. She appreciates the care you feel, even more so when it’s aimed towards her.

“Oof! Oh my, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bump into you!”

“Geez lady! Watch where you’re going!”

“Hey! She said she’s sorry! Why do you have to be a jerk about it?”

“She could’ve avoided me better! I mean, is she blind?”

“Are you blind? Can’t you see she’s carrying a bag and a dog? It’s hard to get around with your hands full. So show some compassion, why don’t you?”

~ She’s never one to stop you when you get super defensive for others. She’d only ever hold you back if you began to get physical. Although, she doesn’t really need to, because Chiyu always has it covered. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, she always defends your behavior.

“(name), please calm down.”

“It’s okay Chiyu. He’s just trying to protecting me.”

“I know, but he’s kind of making a scene.”

“It’s alright. I don’t mind.”

~ She was definitely the most shocked when she saw how you fight in battles. She doesn’t really have much experience with people, and how different they can be in certain situations. So she assumed you would be as enthusiastic with it as you are with everything else. Though, the shock soon turned into pride. She’s happy with how dedicated you are with healing the earth, and sees you as an irreplaceable member of the team.

“You purified that Megabyogen very quickly (name). Latte and I are very grateful.”

“Oh, it was nothing. Just doing my job.”

“Yes, but you do it very well.”

“Aw, thanks!”

I haven't requested an impression yet since I have trouble thinking I'm a burden sometimes (sadly very often). But I pushed out a little courage to ask for one.

I've been trying to get a more positive idea of myself when it comes to my likes, personality and ideas/thoughts and I've been doing pretty good thankfully. However I sadly get my mind blocked whenever I think of what others will think of me as a whole :')

May I request Wally complementing y/n's style choices while they're a bit unsure? I think it would be a very sweet conversation between them qvq

(It's currently the part of myself that I'm working on, currently trying to use what I like and not what others like just to get acceptance. Getting out of that unhealthy cycle bit by bit ^v^)

Of course my dear!! I can do that for you! I hope that this is good for ya! Working on your style can be a tad difficult! But I bet you're doing well amazing!!💕

‼️please go support wally's ACTUAL voice actor, @DaFrankiestein!🩷🩷🩷‼️

The art & characters used are by clown/party coffin!🩷Go support them and donate to their Kofi of you can!

Subtitles, wally speaking: Oh neighbor! Hello! It's nice to see you this morning, oh my goodness! Your outfit is amazing! Gosh.. Your style has so much intricate detail! I love it! No no, I really do! It's amazing, and it really brings out your eyes! Which I very much appreciate~ oh! My style? It's nothing much really, it's just something I throw together every morning! Ha ha ha! Aha ha ha! Well then I guess we have something in common! Haha! Really neighbor, I love the way you dress! And the way you look everyday, oh it just makes me all so starstruck!! Hahaha! I love you, my dear!

[Gakuen K] Kusanagi Izumo Route: White Day’s return gift Translation

*Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (水嶋ラン) *Gakuen K Masterlist / Gakuen K Mobile Masterlist *Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut !

Izumo: Are you really sure this is enough for your white day gift?

Ran: Yup. This plushie’s really cute!

Ran: Its eyes look just like yours!

Izumo: Really? Aw, now I’m flustered,

Izumo: I was actually plannin’ on gettin’ accessories for you or somethin’ like that…

Ran: Would that be better?

Izumo: No, I think it’s cute, and gettin’ a plushie really fits your character…

Izumo: I guess that marks the end of our shoppin’ session. How ‘bout we go for a drive?

Ran: A drive?

Izumo: Yeah. It’s cold out, but the weather’s nice, so let’s go somewhere further away.

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Izumo: —We’re here. A reward for sitting through the short drive.

Ran: Whoa…

Izumo: There are some things out there that are hard to see, even if they’re just right under your nose. We’re just a lil’ way out from the city, but you can see such a wide expanse of the starry sky. Amazin’ don’t you think?

Izumo: I came here a couple of years ago with Mikoto, cyclin’ ‘round the island on a bike. We chanced upon this place after decidin’ to do somethin’ stupid or another.

Izumo: You can get here quickly by car, but it’s a tad difficult to walk or cycle here. I often come here whenever I need to think.

Izumo: Lookin’ at the vast starry sky up there, my own worries feel like a speck of dust in comparison.

Izumo: And the sound of the waves are also very soothin’…

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: Kusanagi-san…

Izumo: But, well, now I have you. And you are like the soothin’ balm in my life, so I don’t have much use for the starry skies now, do I?

Izumo: You’ll get cold if you stay that far away. C’mere.

Ran: Okay.

Izumo: …Closer. Are you tryin’ to make space?

Ran: I’m not… It’s just embarrassing.

Izumo: What’s there to be embarrassed about? We’re the only ones here.

Izumo: No one will see… even if I kiss you here.

Ran: Kusanagi-san…

Izumo: What is it?

Ran: It’s… nothing.

Izumo: Haha, what’s with that? If you can’t find the right words, then shh.

Izumo: If you can’t speak… Well, there are other ways to communicate, no?

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Izumo: I drove here as quickly as I could, but it looks like we've failed to make it in time. Can you open it..?

Ran: No… I can't open it since it's past curfew.

Izumo: I see. Looks like it's time to pull out my trump card.

Ran: What trump card?

Izumo: Take my hand and hold on tight.

Izumo: And here we are. You're welcome, princess.

Ran: That's gotta be my first time entering through the balcony…

Izumo: Really? I used to get into my dorm through the balcony more often than not when I was in high school, puttin’ the door to shame.

Izumo: Oh, right. Do remember to lock your balcony door. Else, what are you gonna do if an intruder comes in?

Ran: Like you?

Izumo: Yup, like m— wait, no!

Izumo: So this is your room. It looked totally different back in my day.

Ran: Oh, oops. Wait here, I’ll go turn on the lights. Would you like something to drink?

Izumo: Nah, I don’t plan on stayin’ long. Plus… It’d be bad if someone caught me here.

Ran: Aw, that’s a pity. I wanted to stay with you a little longer…

Izumo: Do you really want that?

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: Kusanagi-san…?

Izumo: What a coincidence, I am of the same mind as well. I… would stay with you till the sun rises if I could.

Izumo: While hearin’ your voice, and stayin’ awake till the sun rises.

Izumo: What will you do if I plead for you to allow me to do so?

Ran: I…

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Izumo: Haha… 0 points. When that happens, you’ve gotta turn them down at once without hesitation.

Izumo: I’m gonna leave before someone else, or heaven forbid, the dormitory supervisor finds out I’m here. Sorry, but this is goodbye for today.

Ran: Kusanagi-san…

Next Scene: Question

[mysteryshoptls]

SSR Trey Clover Bloom Birthday Personal Story: Part 2

"Happy Birthday"

(Part 1) Part 2 (Part 3)

[Heartslabyul Dorm – Birthday Party Venue]

Ruggie: 'Kay, next question.

Ruggie: “What is something that made you glad you could use magic?”

Ruggie: Go ahead 'n give me an answer.

Trey: Something that made me glad I could use magic…? Hmm, I can't really come up with something on the fly… Ah, I thought of one thing.

Trey: That'd be that I was able to keep some eggs from falling onto the ground.

Ruggie: That's really, really good! Ya can't let a single morsel go to waste!!

Ruggie: But hey, I'm a lil' surprised. Didn't think someone as used to cookin' as you'd make mistakes like that.

Trey: Yeah, it's probably my fault for not warning them beforehand. I've really been thinking about it over and over again.

Ruggie: What, it wasn't your screw up, then? So, you were cookin' with someone else?

Trey: You know that we have Unbirthday Parties at Heartslabyul, right?

Trey: Each time we have a party, different students are in charge of making the required sweets, but…

Trey: The other day, some underclassmen who were in charge of making the cake came crying up to me, asking me to teach them how to make it.

Ruggie: Aah, so you're sayin' the underclassmen screwed it up then, huh.

Trey: Yep, that's it. If I was only helping out one person, I could keep watch close by and more or less point out any possible mistakes they might make.

Trey: But when there's a bunch of guys I have to help out, it really doesn't go as smoothly.

Trey: So, that day, one of the students dropped the carton of eggs and I was just out of reach.

Trey: We didn't have time to buy more ingredients and start over from scratch before the party began, so…

Trey: I was beyond relieved that I was able to use magic as basically an instant reaction so as to not let everything be ruined.

Trey: If I was even just a tad bit slower in my reaction, we would have lost many of our eggs, and we would have had to clean the floor.

Ruggie: Whew, just hearin' 'bout it sends shivers down my spine… Glad the food was okay.

Ruggie: Bet you had a ton of incidents like that while you were makin' the stuff… You really gotta deal with a lot, huh.

Trey: Haha… Well, I guess I just didn't think it'd be that difficult to teach that many people at the same time.

Trey: That time, we were able to get everything made in time, but it's not like I can back someone up every single time…

Trey: And honestly, that was something that could have been avoided without resorting to magic if there was just a bit more focus.

Trey: I should re-think my teaching methods for next time so that we don't end up in a situation like that.
