#another insecure boy to add to my list of favs

[nemuitoka]

What are your favorte jshk fanfics? also where do you like reading them the most?

Hi Anon!!! today is the day I can finally answer this question😈 ahaha you know how much I enjoy making fic recs so 👀 Let’s go!!!

To answer your second question first, I like reading them on AO3 the most! Mostly because I get almost unlimited number of characters to rant in the comment section........... 😆but also the tagging system is very helpful.

Okay, now to the fun part of this ask😏

You said JSHK, but I mostly read Hananene ones so all of my favs include that pairing... as  I already did a fic rec here of my favs, this list will continue that one, so please check that one first hehe ((I apologize in advance..., I would love for people to recommend me some mitsukou ones tbh... I’m really lost when it comes to other pairings orz)) 

If I’m completely honest with you anon-san, my favorite JSHK fic right now is the one Roxanne ( @istoleyourboat )  wrote based of my art and her snippet:

Star-Crossed and Falling- Where Stars Go to Die by lilaflo

Hanako is Princess Nene’s personal knight 👀. A tale of forbidden love. They slowly fall in love as they exchange a series of gifts, one that includes a pair of matching earrings that remind them of their love when they’re apart. Also, jelly Hanako of Nene’s suitors😏... Oh, but nothing lasts forever and those sweet moments will come to an end when they have to face their cruel reality, in this world, they don’t get to choose neither their battles or the ones they love.

Now more of Roxanne, because I seriously enjoy her work so much (I’m sure everyone knows by now lmao sdkj) 

Night of the Phantom King by lilaflo 

This one is a spooky one. Nene’s regret for never realizing who she truly loves takes her to mourn her deceased friend Amane and cry on his grave in a Halloween night, then suddenly the Phantom King comes to take her away👀 & he looks suspiciously familiar... Beautiful world building btw, also the ending is just, excellent. 

12 Year Romance by lilaflo

Amane meets Nene at the Tanabata festival, she’s older than him, but he falls for her instantly, fast forward, Amane is now in middle school, he’s a troublemaker, & gets constantly into fights, but he swears the new school nurse looks familiar... he then realizes it’s her and thinks it must be fate!!!... This one hits close to home bc I’ve been in this situation irl, so I can confirm all of Nene’s struggles are real (and ofc how a love with an age gap should be handled the correct way, this fic really teaches you many life lessons hahaha) 

took a sip then another sip, then you turned and said to me by chivalrousamour 

This autor has a bunch of good JSHK fics!! I recommend you check their AO3 out, bec you may find something you like for sure! But, this is my absolute fav from them. Nene is a mangaka, celebrating the finishing of her long serialized manga, while Amane is a delivery boy who happens to find her in a very questionable state in her house👀 (it’s all family friendly ofc, anon, I’m not a slimy pervert like some ghost boy)

Maid for Each Other by corologs ( @corologs )

Courtney has this amazing College AU collection series that I encourage you to check out!!! But Maid for each other is my fav!!! So it’s the Yugi twins birthday, and it’s Tsukasa’s turn to choose where they go to celebrate it... you can already tell where this is going... (let the chaos begin) & as the title said, it involves maids!!! (it has Kaicho wa maid sama vibes if you liked that anime~~)

If I Could Tell Her by corologs

What if the picture perfect arc plan was successful??? Well, this fic explores this idea, and it’s very interesting to read. I like how Amane and Hanako are two separate people here.

the horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes by sincerelyand ( @sunlightinourheadlights ) 

(Oh my sweet Karen, she writes such good fics, so go check her AO3 out as well!!) Amane and Yashiro are friends that share an apartment (& they were roommates-- OMG they were roommates), even if Amane has its complains, because Nene can be a handful sometimes (and in denial of her true feelings as always, are we even surprised at this point?) he loves her dearly anyways😭.

for real, this time by sourlemoncandy  ( @sour-lemon-candy )

Did somebody say fake dating AU?????? Because hell yeah I did asajj I loved reading this so much!! Nene and Amane are childhood friends, and Nene overhears some girls talking about Amane and how one of them plans to ask him out... but she senses these girls are up to no good so she... well, you gotta read it to find out more~~ it’s no fun If I tell ya everything hehe... so go go go!!

lemon cream by sourlemoncandy

Amane and Nene, just two good friends having a road trip and sharing donuts... what could go wrong??  😏 seriously, I loved this fic so much!! Instant fav! Also makes me wanna try some good sweet donuts...

Trip Down Memory Lane by insipidenvy ( @insipidenvy )

This fic is so sweet. I have such a huge attachment to it, because I read it when I really needed some fluff in my life hahaha. It’s sort of a collection of memories between Amane and Yashiro’s relationship over the years. So heartwarming... if you need the fluffs you’ll enjoy this very much!!

The Radish Princess and the Toilet Prince by insipidenvy

This is my favorite fic from insipidenvy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know how I am a slut for Royalty AUs so that’s why!!!!! Also Toilet Prince!! hahahaha such a good nickname lmao. I love how they bond over their insecurities, it’s very relatable tbh. 

Between Wind and Water by WingSongHalo  ( @wingsonghalo )

My beautiful Wing always delivering the good Hananene content, as she should!! This fic is so fun to read!! I laughed so hard at Nene and Hanako being awkward with each other!!! So you know how Hanako is super clingy with Nene, he’s always touching & hugging her, but this time something weird happens and he’s so distant~~ Nene doesn’t want to admit it at first, but she misses his clingy ghost boy~~ you’ll have a good time reading this for sure!  

The Monster's Bride by Hammsters ( @uglierdaikon )

Have you heard about the myth of Cupid and Psyche? Well this fic rewrites it in a very Hananene way <3 hehe I loved it so much (as I’m a huge fan of mythology~) To sum it up, Nene is fated to marry a monster that lives in the mountains so she’s devastated... to her surprise, her husband is far from what she expected... she only had one rule to obey and well... we all know how reckless Nene is so... you go find out what happens next now!! hehehe

Morning Reflections by FalalalaLa  ( @miss-sternennacht )

So you’ve heard of Hanako watching Nene sleep, but what about Nene watching Amane sleep???!! this fic offers you this and so much more fluff <3 Also Nene remembering how they met and how their relationship evolved during the years, aww <3 

Cursed Coin by DaikonSenpai  ( @daikonsenpai )

There’s a school dance, Yashiro’s supposed to be dancing with Kou (since she can’t go with Hanako, which causes him to be jelly~~ and bitter), but she loses a coin Aoi gave her for good luck so she goes out and searches for it on the last place she saw it, the school fountain. Suddenly Hanako spots her, what’s she doing outside??? is she drunk or something?? what happens next you may find out when you read it~~~

Between Love and Hope by Baronesscmd (SweeterThanYourDarkestSin) ( @baronesscmd )

Oh to be Nene and get to sleep between the Yugi twins... God really has favorites uh... ISTG, this collection of fics is so cute. I love how Nene loves the twins so much in this AU, they have their little cute family. She ofc is in love with Amane, but their relationship with Tsukasa is so tender... it’s mostly this trio having fluffy moments together to heal your soul... if you need some, you’ll get it here for sure hahaha. 

Ghost of You (And All the Futures We've Forgotten) by Indigo_Floof  milkteamoon  ( @indigosienna , @spades-queen )

So anon you may have been wondering, well this bitch likes fluff only???? how about some angst for a change, uh? DAMN, OKAY THEN, here you have some angst to rip your soul out and wish you never sent me this ask in the 1st place, bec of the emotional damage this fic will leave you sdajjsa, also if you liked “Erased”, you’ll love this fic too! 

Hanako of the Opera by zxrstan

Finally, but not less important, me being annoying about Hanako of the Opera & POTO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! This fic is based of the AU Aidairo created mostly, it’s really fun to read if you didn’t get much of what was happening during the Hanako of the Opera event, it has a nice ending also! very satisfying I must say. 

AAAAND THIS IS THE END OF MY ALL TIME FAV LIST OMG;;;; Kudos for me for searching through all my damn AO3 and Google Chrome history (from both my PC and phone, since I am a FOOL and forgot my AO3 password so I read a lot of these in the past as a guest before recovering my password LMAO, please be patient with me omg, and also if you see me bookmarking them now, you know why 😭) 

Kudos to all of my writer homies as well, I love and appreciate all of you so much!! you have no idea! 💖

I hope you find this list useful, anon!! Thank you for sending me this ask and have a wonderful day! 

Ps. Please everyone feel free to add more fics to this list if you want! this is all my personal picks, but I’m aware there are a lot more fics that I haven’t read and deserve as much recognition as the ones I listed!

[lucivar]

For the ask game, if it tickles your fancy: 003 for Jughead’s Gentlemen Suitors: Malachai, Bret Weston Wallis, Sweet Pea, Reggie Mantle and Archie Andrews

003 | send me 5 characters and I will rank them in order of preference

Ajkasjkahak I LOVE THIS ASK. THANK YOU for making me think about the guys who are obsessed with Jughead. He's just so goddamn shippable. I am going to take a few liberties with this ask and instead comment on: what type of relationship they would have and a few head canons about them. I will also add Dilton, because I love him and this is lowkey my fav queer Jughead ship.

Continue reading under the cut.

Thank you so much for playing! Feel free to ask me questions from this list

Relationship type: A Kiss with a Fist is better than none (or the enemies to lovers trope)

Malachi: Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Riverdale, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge (house of the dead vs house of the snake) break to new mutiny (jingle jangle, Penny’s evil milf ways, the fact that Gladys would never accept Malachi into the Joneses), where civil blood (Hiram Lodge threatening to tear their love apart, Mayor McCoy’s vendetta) makes (un)civil hands (our enemy-to-lovers Romeo and Juliet heroes) unclean. Look, this ship is perfect, I have only good things to say. Malachi just wants Jughead to sneak around behind Penny’s back, come visit him at the house of the dead so that they can do some Jingle Jangle, light some candles and do each other’s make up. He likes to fluster Jughead by showing up to places without his shirt and calling him babe. Their love would bring fair Riverdale to its knees, and reunite the Southside so that nature can heal <3

Bret: Obnoxious prep school hate-sex we all need. Both kids obviously have some SERIOUS DADDY ISSUES, which means that they are going to light up the other one’s psycho sexual insecurities. In addition, Bret has a poor/rich and a denial (possibly a degradation) kink, so he loves Jughead. For gifts, Bret writes himself self-insert fanfiction for Jughead and leaves it around for him to find, then gets off on Jughead’s disgust. He also brings Jughead river rocks as mementos. <3

Sweet Pea: ANOTHER ENEMIES TO LOVERS. Wow, does the sweet, sad, soft boi of the Southside have a type or WHAT? Evidently, Sweet Pea was très jaloux of Toni when Jughead was spending so much time with her when he moved to Southside High because he kept showing up and making comments about it, pulling Jughead’s pigtails. He also hit Jughead with his precious knuckle-dusters, which he polished especially for the occasion. Like Betty, he wanted Jughead to study more in senior year and he is annoyed at FP for being a shit dad to Jughead. He and JB text a lot on Jughead updates. In fact, there is a Serpent group chat where Jughead is not included so they can speculate on his whereabouts. Sweet Pea was also jealous of the attention Jughead gave Archie for his music playing, so picked up an electric guitar to show that he is the infinitely better choice.

Relationship type: Bros are Hos ;) (or the jock/nerd trope)

Reggie: So when Jughead learnt that Reggie COULDN’T spell necrophilia, he offered to tutor him, a suggestion that earned him a shoulder to the chest from Reggie (look, Reg could fit into the top category as well). Reggie knows that Jughead’s language of love is matching (we’ve seen bughead wear the same outfit many times), so he grew his mullet as Jughead grew his own hair. He has NO IDEA how to talk to Jughead and basically just chest slaps him as a form of communication. He has considered giving his letterman jacket to Jughead, I am sure.

Archie: Tibby has the best comments on the jarchie longcon, which I adore reading about and their takes are LITERAL PERFECTION. I ALSO ADORE this video and this one by julietophelia. I think Jarchie is the most plausible queer ship for Jughead (despite my adoration for enemies to lovers), and I can imagine them up at all hours of the night writing and boxing respectively, before settling in to video games on the couch and calling each other ‘Sweet Prince’ or ‘Red Paladin’ and ‘Hellcaster’. The would have the nerdiest, sweetest relationship wherein Archie basically wouldn’t realise that he was in a relationship, even after everyone pointed it out. Also Jughead seems to be very forgiving of Archie’s past infidelity, so who knows, he might continue to be?

Relationship type: Have I ascended to queer nerd heaven? (or 'i will kiss thy lips. Haply some blue poison doth yet hang on them')

Dilton: MY LOWKEY FAVOURITE long term queer Jughead relationship because the way they talk to each other! OMG. The OG bunker fuck buddies, sharing Area 51 stories, their obsession with their knives (they could whittle together as old men), their prep/scout uniform fetish, they both love filming things (imagine the porn they would shoot! <3), ancient technology (or, is this just Riverdale technology?). BOTH OF THEM ARE DEATH-WISH-FILLED RECKLESS PSYCHO NERDS. PERFECTION. Dilton stabs and poisons himself (rip, my love) and Jughead finds a new way to get himself murdered every season. Please watch this amazing jilton video. Sad there is not more :(

[feifood]

Ok baby so my request will be Shinso/Tamaki (whoeber suits better for the song or for you) and 21 pwease

LUO BABY HI LUO HOW HAVE YOU BEEN MY FAV FROG ENTHUSIAST <33

I decided to do Shinso for this request because I actually have a drabble a wrote a long time ago that goes with song number 21 hehe hope y’all like it !!

*I TWEAKED A BIT OF THE WAY HIS QUIRK WORKS IN THIS PIECE JUST GO ALONG WITH IT IM SORRY IN ADVANCE ASDHFJ

Hitoshi Shinsou [fluff]: Song: Peach Scone - Hobo Johnson

Word count: 1066 words (damn this a big one huh -- gonna add this piece to my BNHA Masterlist as well) Warnings: none babes <3 Summary: Shinso finally meets someone who sees him for more than his quirk.

Your quirk is so cool! 

And so deadly too! 

Good thing you’re not a villain! 

The comments aren’t supposed to be insulting, they’re not supposed to deteriorate his confidence. Yet why do they make Shinso so uncomfortable?

His entire life, Shinso’s quirk has been the most interesting one in his class. The uproar he receives from it are mostly positive, but overtime it’s begun to feel like the opposite. 

Fast forward many years later prior to his first year at U.A., Hitoshi sits in class staring out the window as usual while his teacher talks about high school applications. Shinso’s set on becoming a pro hero, and he believes U.A. is the school where he will achieve his dream, but the practical exam seems to be in the way. Hand to hand combat isn’t his forte. He could brainwash someone and force them to sneak him into the acceptance list, but that would be a bad start to the kind of job he is going for. 

Footsteps begin to approach his classroom and everyone turns their heads to see what is the cause of the sound. 

A new student walks in. It’s as if the room just began the float, the atmosphere immediately becoming lighter by their presence. “Hi,” they shyly greet the class. 

Shinso doesn’t really react, it’s just a new classmate, why should he care? Probably just another person who’s going to remind him that his quirk is suited for a villain. 

As time goes by, Shinso finds out his new classmate’s name, (Y/N). He still has no interest in them, even though (Y/N) has become quite popular in class. So popular that the two haven’t even had time to speak because of how bombarded (Y/N) always is with their friends. 

If he’s being completely honest, Hitoshi sometimes catches (Y/N) staring at him. With eyes blown wide, they look at him as if he just said the most shocking thing in the world. 

(Y/N), on the other hand, doesn’t even realize how obvious it is that they’re staring. All that fills the student’s mind was, who is that boy? Is he the mind controller? Why doesn’t he ever talk? I see people talking to him but he never seems to initiate conversations. 

Shinso doesn’t even mind, he’s too focused on getting accepted into U.A. to mind. 

——— 

The light taps of rain catch Shinso’s attention. He internally cursed himself for forgetting an umbrella, although his mom reminded him before he left. Guess I’ll just walk in the rain today. 

The rain seemed to want to taunt the purple-haired boy even more, as it began to thunderstorm right as school ended. 

Hitoshi stood at the main doors of his school, thinking about how in the world he is going to get home without being drenched. 

Whatever, today was laundry day anyways. He extends his arm and opens the door to give into the rain. As the drops begin to come his way, he realizes he’s not getting wet. At all. 

It doesn’t take Shinso long to realize there’s actually an umbrella over his head now, and (Y/N) is on the other side of the handle. He's quite shocked, why are they still in the building? I thought everyone left already? 

“Wouldn't want to catch a cold right?” (Y/N) said with a smile.

“Right,” was all he could say at the moment. Anyone going out of their way to help Shinso was kind of a weird concept to him. People were nice to him sure, but only because they were just his classmates trying to kill time by making small talk. 

(Y/N) gestures the boy to start walking and the two make their way out of the school yard in silence. 

“So you’re Shinso?” they attempt to initiate the conversation. 

“Yeah,” is all Shinso says.

���I’ve heard a lot about you. A lot about your quirk actually.” 

Here we go, he thought. Shinso wonders how they’re going to say it. Your quirk is so deadly and cool! Your quirk is perfect for a villain! You won’t use your quirk on me right? He begins to think about all the commentary he’s received about his quirk over the years. 

“Your quirk must be so useful for saving people, I wish mine was like that!” 

Now that was not something Shinso expected them to respond with. 

“Sorry?” Was all he could spit out, still in disbelief of his ears. 

“Well, your quirk is mind control right? So doesn’t that mean you can control people’s emotions in a way?”

Hitoshi never actually thought of it that way, controlling emotions as a form of aid. He has been able to control someone’s emotion before, but it was short term and definitely challenging on his end. 

“It would be useful for rescue missions,” continued (Y/N), “you would be able to help them calm down no? Reduce the panic in the situation and make it easier for a successful mission.” 

Shinso couldn’t believe his ears, his entire life his quirk has been one of his biggest insecurities. People always speak about him as if he’s only good for evil deeds, yet here was the new student at school, explaining how he would be good hero material. 

“I guess you're right, I’ve never thought about it that way actually,” he confesses.

The rest of the way home was very pleasant. (Y/N) shares more about themselves, mostly how life was at their old school, and Shinso couldn’t help but smile the entire time, enjoying the conversation. 

As Hitoshi arrives home and makes his way to the kitchen. He sees his mother cooking dinner, as usual. 

“Toshi! Did you get soaked in the rain? I told you to bring an umbrella, go change before you get a cold! Put your wet clothes in the laundry basket and go give yourself a warm bath. Dinner is almost done and you need to-“ She freezes in place as she meets her son’s eyes. He stands there, completely dry, and with no umbrella in sight. 

Shinso honestly didn’t even interpret the words his mother just said to him, he can't help the movement of his lips beginning to form into a smile, his eyes squinting ever so slightly as he can finally truly embrace his quirk and accept himself completely. 

“I made a friend today.”

[closetedotaku01]

i rlly hope youll keep writing after Kinktober, bc as a writer myself i see so much potential in your writing. it's already great, but it really reminds me of my own writing from a year or two back. i was the one who asked how long you've been writing & i've been writing fanfic for 7 years so its cool to see how good you already are. youre going to improve so much over time & i'm really excited to see it, you do so many things in your stories well & theyre only going to get better! (1/2)

THIS GOT SO LONG IM SORRY!!!

This.... I—. WARMED MY HEART!! Pick a name or emoji or whatever you want and you are an official anon!! Also this got long so.. READ MORE IF YA WANNA!!

Thank you so much for saying you see potential. Sometimes I’m really.... unhappy with my work and feel like I can’t improve and this just... MADE ME SO HAPPY!! Like... hearing it from someone who does write💜💜💜💜💜 makes my whole life.

I’m so excited to keep growing and I hope you stay for the journey because this is so sweet. Maybe casually come off anon way down the road (so I can’t guess) just so I can read some of your work too 👉👈. And no worries there will be more after Kinktober. I am really enjoying this and have no plans to stop writing any time soon.

~~~~

Okay so my favorite published authors are Jandy Nelson (I’ll Give You The Sun is a book I reread constantly. It’s my comfort book. I swear if my soul was anywhere besides my body, there’s a piece of it trapped in that book.), Fredrick Backman (specifically And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer), Brigid Kemmerer (literally all of the books she’s published with Bloomsbury I’ve read and adored), and Neal Schusterman (Specifically the Arc of a Scythe Trilogy). They all write in ways that affect me deeply and they mean a lot to me. I don’t necessarily try to emulate them, but they definitely are the authors I consult (by reading and rereading their works) to get ideas and to learn how to write.

~~~~

Fanfic authors. I think I’ve made it pretty damn clear on here that I am hopelessly in love with @imaginethathaikyuu (I’m still too scared to tag her I’m sorry) and her writing. She means the whole world to me in every way. Her writing always hits me in a MAGICAL way. Especially her newer pieces. Works of hers that hit hard for me are: (please note this list is not comprehensive. These are just the FIRST ONES that came to mind. All her work is objectively great.) 

-Tsukishima accidentally teases his s/o’s insecurity - this one holds my heart.

-Heated argument with Tsukishima - this is the angst I adore. Honestly, this might be one of my TOP TOP favorites, because it feels so real. 

-Morning sex with Tsukishima -just the line “theyre your tits!” That’s all. Brings me serotonin beyond words. And it feels so genuine and lovely. Again... she makes the world so real. Also in my TOP TOP favs. (Is my Tsukki love showing too much?)

-Helping you when you can’t sleep - This is beyond words beautiful

-Helping you study - PLEASE I NEED THIS NOW

-Tanaka finding out his s/o is pregnant - YES! SHE DOES TANAKA SO WELL

-Tanka asks Kiyoko to dance.... but she says no - SO WELL 

-Riding Headcanons -🙈

-S/O is nervous about him going down on her  -because who ISNT the first time?

-Learning about your self-harm scars -hits close to home and Iwa’s makes me cry every time.

-Akaashi making it up to you after a fight -my favorite color is literally purple 💜

-Bokuto’s s/o has a nightmare - I literally revisit this one whenever I have a nightmare

- Kinktober 2019 - ALL .... but the ones I revisit the most are Tsukishima’s, Oikawa’s, Futakuchi’s, Yaku’s, Iwa’s, Yamaguchi’s, and Matsukawa’s.

-Kinktober 2020 - please GOD read Kuroo’s, Mattsun’s, Iwa’s, Suna’s, and Atsumu’s. They’re all immaculate but those in PARTICULAR were MASTERPIECES.

-Having an angsty fight - particularly Kuroo’s GETS TO ME. Like... damn. Makes me... melt. Idek why. It’s just, again, how real she makes it feel. From the atmosphere and setting to the way the characters behave. A lot of times in “argument angst” (is that a term?) the arguments feel so shallow and stupid. And I’m like “on my moodiest days I wouldn’t react like that” or “Kuroo WOULD NEVER”. But these feel so real. Ughhhh.

-You give Kenma a gift mid-stream 

-Kenma gets turned on during a stream - can you tell I love the way she writes streamer Kenma 😌 also this is my fav nsfw-esque Kenma piece solely because it feels accurate to his character in a beautiful way despite me headcanoning that he’s ace.

-Oikawa’s s/o wakes up without him there

-Iwaizumi getting.... caught.... by Makki and Mattsun... with you  -Give Iwa More Love 2020

-Tendo teasing his s/o by ... taking care of himself - One of the first Em pieces I ever read. I don’t think it was THE first. But it was definitely the first one I read like... RIGHT AFTER she posted it.

-Tendo comforting s/o who’s parents yell - hits very close to home for me, and I just wanted him to come whisk me away the first time I read this

-7MIH with Tendo  -hehe I love this more than anything. Also Ushijima’s ONE line makes me CACKLE. I’m in love with this one

-This two part series with Atsumu (1) (2) -haha I reread these too often

-Kneel to Pray  (Sakusa) -I have not even one criticism or negative thought. Not one. And I’ve read this TOO many times.

-Tough boys are soft for you - two of the best boys

- Countdown to Christmas - Days 6,7,11, and 12 are the ones I reread the most

THIS IS SO BAD!! I WENT STRAIGHT TO THESE AND DIDN’T THINK IT WAS THAT MANY COS I REREAD THESE ONES REGULARLY. (And there’s a lot more theatre good. Please explore her blog! It’s WONDERFUL) Sorry for spending too much time on Em’s blog, but also.... not sorry cos she’s amazing and all of these pieces inspire me.  I’ll try to be fast for the rest of these ahfihfadsfsjfh.

 @star-puff (catch a theme of me being scared of talented authors)’s piece La Lune and her Fleur d’Amour event (search #fleur d’amour on her blog) are so creative and beautiful and truly show how talented she is. She’s amazing. EDIT: I’m adding this as soon as I’ve read it because it just made me cry. Omg. Read this. Tsukishima royalty AU it is angst though so 👀 read at your own risk. EDIT: On GOD Meg could murder me and I’d say thanks. Please read this beautiful time stamp shit it makes me HAPPY. 

UPDATE: And Meg is now responsible for the most canon Tsukki piece I’ve ever read. 

There’s a cute SMAU called Sunshine by @pudding-head-kenma and idk how she does it. It’s so good. I could never tell a story this complex, THIS WELL, using only text messages and tweets and such. She also does mini headcanons that are REALLY cute.

Anything and everything by @haik-choo is gold. Literal gold. The way she writes Tsukishima is IMMACULATE. Toxic headcanons, mischaracterizations all of its gold. And she’s a beautiful shitposter. She drops shit that makes me CACKLE at the most random times. All of it is a big yes for me.

UPDATE: this is gold.

Of course I’ve read In Another Life and OF COURSE I sobbed. Took me AN HOUR to read because I kept having to take breaks to just.... sob. VERY MUCH A HEAVY DUTY ANGST. Not for the weak of heart. BokuAka. This is probably the oldest piece I’ve read that still HITS for me. 

There are other pieces but I can’t remember them.... probably will come back and add to this post later.

Thank you for this ask. Thank you for being so kind and inspiring. I was kinda worried about releasing anything I’ve ever written and still get nervous sometimes so this ask makes me feel a hell of a lot better and makes me feel like I’m joining a WONDERFUL community like... Look at all that talent ^^^^.

GS Artists Rec List

I told @the-nysh I would do this so I did. I’m just here to shamelessly promote my favs.  If you want to binge on art, trawl Pixiv and bookmarks. If you want daily art, follow the artists’ Twitter, or @GSnightfight. 

Sidenote: It is strange to know that some of the raunchiest stuff come from mums. 

(Artists under the cut!)

Kinako [Pixiv] [Twitter]- Protec. Their comic strips are so cute and good. Like this one here and an ongoing one on Twitter. I don’t really understand it but it seems like Genos drank a memory loss chemical to forget about how he couldn’t really love Saitama but then ended up in a relationship with him anyway? He calls just calls Saitama “Saitama”, it’s very bittersweet because he regrets drinking it. (Full thread here)

Yutani [Pixiv] - They do doujins, including one where Genos turns into a white wolf and one where Saitama gets double-teamed by devil!Genos and bunny!Genos.

Lisa [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Have I mentioned lately how much I love Lisa? I’ve been following her ever since she did “The person who makes you happy/Happy people” (Part 1/Part 2). She just did an omegaverse doujin too. Her style is a bit anatomically questionable but they look soft and blushy and muscley and romantic so I’m into it. She’s also done a couple of fake movie posters that’s also very tender. ^3^ (Also, nice try Lisa, I know you draw gratuitous bottom!Genos porn on a separate Twitter account.)

Nano [Pixiv] [Twitter] [Tumblr] - Soft, round egg. They did a doujin where Saitama gets fucked while wearing a dress as well as this really nice sfw doujin about Genos realising he likes Saitama. And who could forget this iconic fake twitter video. (Also they’re on tumblr! Please show them more love)

Polon [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Soft watercolour style, lithe muscley egg illustrations in sexy (and funny) poses and outfits. Loads of lovely short R18 comics. One of my favs is in here where Saitama’s cum is turned into Cookies and Cream flavour by a monster and this one where Saitama gets a bad fan letter and needs some TLC. They also have cat!sensei and dog!Genos versions which are super cute. Cat!Sensei is very chubby (it’s in their icon!).

Oikkodeth [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Yall better recognise. Mainly R18 doujins and puts out one every event (that’s like 5 times a year or more). They’ve covered the whole range: hanahaki, Little Red Riding Hood, human torso!Genos and more. Anatomy is a bit stiff but they’re so proficient.

Mido [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Korean but translates her comics to Japanese. Expressive, cute, clean comic style.

Akiyama [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Yall better fucking R E C O G N I S E. They, along with asamizu and a few others, have been posting since 2013. They churn out doujins like a machine and even has their own category in the doujin store, their books took up half a shelf. Consistently cute, punchy dialogue and doesn’t deal with drama. But you don’t need me to tell you. (Look at this though!!)

Hoyu [Pixiv] [Twitter] - You guys remember the sausage pillow comic? Do you like spit, licking, kinks and softcore yandere Genos? You’re gonna love Hoyu. Also, she knows loads of people? I always see her in the comments on twitter. Very skinny boys and twisted love, a new and interesting sketchy style.

Akiko [Pixiv] [Twitter] - A very girly and attentive waifu top!Genos and a tired Saitama. Puts out a comic strip almost every day? #blessed. (Sensei, please be sweet to me!) Doesn’t do R18 very often.

Oishigeru [Pixiv] - Does only doujins, maybe twice a year? Most, if not all are R18 and Saitama always looks vaguely worried. i like Even If mostly because it’s the only one I read all the way through and it’s about insecurities of a relationship. There was another doujin about Genos/Two Saitamas. Does introspective egg very well so I’m immediately biased. Doesn’t post art on twitter so I’m not including it.

Emochikaoya [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Yall already know I’m a massive fan of Kaoya’s work. Kinkwise, if you think of it, she’s probably drawn it. Super efficient, churns out minicomics once a week in between drawing her original comic (can’t stop the thirst, guys). I’m trying to get her to do more coloured illustrations so if you guys want to stroke her ego, I’ll pass it on. My favourite doujin of hers is ‘Who’ and it has hands-down The Best Egg Lecture. Probably one of the few artists who bother to translate to English (you’re welcome). I have a million things to say about her but it would turn into an essay so I’ll stop.

Minerux [Pixiv] [Twitter] - A member of the @GSNightFight challenge on Twitter. Uncertain and worried egg and supportive and very attentive borg. Check out “Curiousity” and “Red String” and a personal fav “Hold on”.

Dokimaru [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Her neko sensei is probably the most iconic. He has a sweatshirt with like 6 nipples? Iconic. they drew a hot springs doujin where Genos turned basically his whole body into a vibe and Saitama caused him to short circuit and blow out every fuse in the ryokan. They set off the fire sprinklers. This one ficart where Saitama gets double-teamed by two Genoses knocked me flat.

Mat [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Mat?? Is so?? Good?? Ever think about how a look can break your heart? Egg is always tired and Genos is worried. Contact is very sweet and makes your heart twinge, and there’s another one they just released about Saitama being cursed with handcuffed hands

Hebitoriasu [Pixiv] [Twitter] - I’m not a big fan of the shading but I can see improvement. Mostly R18 doujins but they’re cute.

Tori/Saboten [Pixiv] [Twitter] - They have two major AUs - fem!Saitama (Nyotama) and Sabo-sensei - and they’re both amazing. Very good readability, very funny comics. If you’re not a fan of fem!Saitama, they have dedicated groups of art for nyotama. Of course my fav of their works is the one with all of Saitama and Genos’ dating problems and the one where Saitama is “Weak to ikemen (handsome guys)”.

Asamizu [Pixiv] - What kind of useless list would this be without Asamizu? Yeah they had their own category too on the doujin shelf. Very nice graphics, and they discuss relationship topics in a candid manner. Been drawing these boys for over 4 years! Mostly doujins. I also have to plug their game (visual novel) about Saitama endlessly repeating a week to try to get Genos to stop asking him out, it will probably last 10 hours. God they do love to ramble.

Toufumaru [Pixiv] - I’ll admit, I’m not a big fan of their recent work (sailor uniform sensei and sensei who wants to be held) but I really like Blue in Blue and Mellow Yellow which talk about Saitama’s non-existent emotions.

Nemunoki [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Mainly R18 doujins. They’ve explored all manner of sexual situations and kinks. Outdoor sex, electricity, double penetration, tentacles, you name it. It’s all amazing. The perspective does throw me off though.

Untara [Pixiv] - Into switch but really likes bottom!Genos anyway. What can I say? Kinky, but hot.

Satoku [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Melancholy egg! Attentive Genos! Does mostly short comics but they’re so cute. Martyr Saitama is my jam!

Kamikoawakakyouko [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Interesting concepts. Recently released a comic that I consider to be the pinnacle of the OPM fandom because it’s Saitama having to consider the environmental/global impact of his strength and how that boils down to affect his everyday life.

Matabi [Pixiv] - Pretty much only doujins. Sensei has moobs and the boys are squishy and blushy. Also does quite a bit of rimming.

Sototuka [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Mostly R18 illustrations with some nice shading but questionable garments. She drew this doujin with futa!Sensei and double-dick Genos. 

Hara Hara [Pixiv] - Saitama is the manic pixie dream girl you guys never thought would exist. Fashion model ingenue. Werk it, sensei. Permanent come hither. Seeing Saitama in dresses brings me life (even if he is super skinny).

Raoki [Pixiv] - Mainly R18 illustrations. I remembered she did sounding with Pocky.

Gmeko [Pixiv] - C U T E. Round and pastels. Soft with lots of TLC. Did a “(I’ll find you) Before the stars do” comic and a hair washing comic.

NICE BOON [Pixiv] - Korean who takes no shit. Fantastic fashion. Little to no BL but the concepts are all on pointe. Existential egg. Eggistential. Locked twitter.

Silver_mssk [Pixiv]  [Twitter] - locked account but if you managed to add her…really, really good eggistential portraits in a variety of scenes. Hilarious comics and a stone face Genos and flailing egg. Also lots of Mobuncle/Saitama scenarios? Which…tbh same.

Foo2333 [Twitter] - What if Saitama took part in enjo kosai (paid dating)? Bottom!Saitama, a soft and sexy egg desired by all. Listen, I don’t make the rules. 

Skaky21 [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Mostly out of the fandom but dips in sometimes. Very polished shiny style. Not my cup of tea but it’s cute.

1200年丸 [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Now mostly BNHA but does OPM sometimes. Mostly SFW. This comic is cute.

ICHIKAZU [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Curly haired boyish Genos! Everyone’s crazy about her Apocaplyse!AU but I prefer her newest doujin where Saitama wins a camera and Genos uses it to take lots of pictures of his sensei.

Kaji Oyaji [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Wowowow so cute and pastel? Is everyone an angel? Am I dead? Soft and sweet. Saitama is like a fairy and Genos is in love. Imagine the embodiment of Spring.

Ginsky [Pixiv] - Chinese. They’ve moved on but boy those were some bright colours and expressive faces.

Tutu_en_f [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Soft romantic sketches. Feel very french but I’m only saying that because she is literally in France now.

COCONUT [Pixiv] - Korean. Fashionable (you see a trend?) Saigenos sketches. Young boyish Genos, manly egg.

Obachan [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Chibi comics. Still active and cute af.

Shiwasu [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Woah this egg is too cute for this world. Does short comics, draws sex but not especially ero. I like this one which is about Genos becoming able to read Saitama’s mind, first kiss (self explanatory) and Saitama losing his strength (R18).

Nyuton [Pixiv] [Twitter] - Active on Twitter. Posts a lot of speed-colouring videos. Nice sketchy feeling but with colour. Likes to borrow concepts from music videos.

Mochi [Pixiv] - Crudely-drawn gag comics with a humour on par with ONE’s. Please, they’re so good. This one opens up with both of them wearing The Dress.

Shout out to starjr_major who is currently in Golden Kamui hell but used to draw some really amazingly cute Saitama.

Samurai Love Ballad Party

YO, FOLLOWERS. And other fans. I’m curious. Fill this out and tag me so I can read!

The following are my opinions only, I recognize that our unique experiences shape how we interpret stories, so if you’re like ‘what is yoolee talking about, that’s not a thing’ just assume our differing life paths throw a different shadow, k? K.

How long have you been playing? Aaahahaha, since it came out. I think I was playing Sleepless when the banner popped up for a ‘pre-register and get a fancy item’, and you could choose Nobu/Mitsu or Saizo/Yuki. I don’t play the other party games anymore, really.

Which routes have you played? *cough* all of them…working on Shingen’s NE now.

Which route did you play first? Saizo’s. This was an excellent life decision on my part.

Who are you playing next? Depends on who/if they release someone else, otherwise I’ll pick one of the NE’s I still need to get.

Which of the samurai is your favorite? Saizo. I know, anyone who has spent time on this blog will be so surprised. I do acknowledge he’s a little overrated – but he’s still my fav. He is my fav in every route he shows up in – Yukimura and Shingen especially.

Who comes next on the list? There is a pretty big tie for next fav, haha. Probably Yukimura. He is such a sweet mess.

Who has grown on you? Nobunaga. I was kind of ‘eh’ about his main route and early events, but his last few events I have really enjoyed. The MC in this last one (My Eternal Love) holy $%(@.

Which of the samurai is your least favorite? Mitsuhide. He has mannerisms that remind me of an ex who was a bit of a self-righteous hypocrite and I semi-project that on him as a result. Sorry, babe. He’s really the only one in my bottom tier, I have really enjoyed the stories overall.

Which route has the best MC? Kojuro’s! I actually really like this MC across the board game-wise, but I especially love her feistiness in Kojuro’s route.

Which route surprised you the most? Kenshin and Toshiie/Inuchiyo’s. I was prepared to write both of them off and they both broke my heart. Inuchiyo especially—there was a lot of depth of emotion in that route that I was not expecting. Add in the fact he did something I am deeply, profoundly Not Okay with and generally don’t enjoy in my fiction, pretty early in the route and I was prepared to just ‘get through’ the rest of his story, but every behavioral choice he makes after that is so tuned towards change and redemption that, seriously to my surprise, he ended up as one of my favs. Kojuro was a surprise too, I sort of expected his route to be a bit of a bore and IT WAS NOT.

Which route was the most disappointing? Hideyoshi. I loved him in Inuchiyo’s route so I was psyched to start his and…it was really, dull? In my opinion? I felt like every significant accomplishment in his route was achieved by his retainers. I was a little disappointed in Shingen’s too, both the ending and some of the pacing. The ‘I love you now’ seemed pretty abrupt. Then again, it kind of had to be with everything going on.

Which region’s supporting cast is your favorite? Kai. I love them. Oshu is second, though I do love when Hideyoshi/Toshiie are supporting cast. Their interactions just amuse me. I love everyone in Kenshin's route too...this game does good on secondary characters okay.

Which friendship is your favorite? Yukimura/Saizo hands-down, no questions asked. There is just so much good balance at play there. They’re so strong in such different ways and they just need one another. I do love the Kojuro/Masamune/Shigezane trio but there’s less balance of skills/strengths there so much as there is just respect/support/confidence/family-feeling.

Which friendship is your least favorite? Mitsuhide/Nobunaga only because I know how that story ends *weeps* Mitsunari/Ieyasu is a little rough to watch too, but A+ on the starter route tension moment.

Which reusable NPC is your favorite? I love the sandy-blonde one with the spiky eyebrows (they have three spikes!). He has a face where his eyes are all scrunched up and he just looks SO DISMAYED and they always use him as the deliverer of bad news it’s funny to me. I also love the maids XD especially the fact that Umeko keeps her name across routes. She’s super pretty, too!

Which reusable NPC is your least favorite? Pretty-boy-blah-villain. Usually shows up as a potential love interest for MC only to do something bad.

Which villain is your favorite? Ieyasu because holy $(@* that baby boy is legitimately, terrifyingly crazy in routes where he’s the bad guy. I have complicated feelings about Ieyasu XD

Which villain is your least favorite? Crazypants McGee, aka Fumo. Kind of ugh on him showing up. EDIT: I forgot about Sassy from Inuchiyo's route YEAH HE WAS AWFUL.

Which event has been your favorite? The first one, Love’s First Kiss, for reasons that will be obvious if you read some of my fics XD Noble Hearts Claimed at Last was also one of my favorites, I think I bought all the epilogues and His POV’s (except Mitsuhide, again, sorry babe) and I have no regrets. Unspoken Ties was fun too, just to see our boys through their best friend’s eyes—gave me a new appreciation for Mitsuhide. I like the events that tie in other characters more closely to the main story, it feels more like a fleshed out world and I just enjoy it.

Which event were you most underwhelmed with? There have been a few that were kind of *shrug* but I can’t say I haven’t enjoyed any of them, just enjoyed them less than others.

What do you think the game could improve on? Honestly? For me, personally, as a reader, I think they’re doing pretty good. There are few cringe-y storylines (selective amnesia blaaargh) but rarely does the MC make me want to pull my hair out, and they avoid most of the tropes that annoy me or at least use them sparingly (miscommunication is my LEAST FAV and I cheeeeered in Kojuro's route when the writers--brilliantly--did not go that stupid route and they could have). I am really afraid for some of the sequels. REALLY AFRAID. Because they’re doing good – keep it up! EDIT TO ADD: it would be nice to have some Hide/Toshiie Mitsunari/Ieyasu, Kenshin/Shingen events!!

What do you like about the game? SO MUCH. We have an MC who isn’t a total, insecure wilting flower perennially defaulting to Damsel-in-Distress (sometimes, some routes, some stories, but not most of the time). We get eyes in a lot of the CGs (THANK YOU), regular pacing, events that are achievable, characters are unique and complicated and all love the MC differently, and a real sense of urgency and life in the stories. I really enjoy it. I actually just bought a book on the Sengoku era because I’m sure there are historical fallacies ALL OVER THE PLACE but I’m totally unfamiliar with Japanese history, and it’s made me curious. I also like the music.

Do you write fics/headcanons for SLBP? Yep – You can read ‘em here

Do you draw art for SLBP? RARELY AND NOT WELL, but you can see it here

Anything else you want to say? I’m glad I found this game! It’s a nice little escape sometimes, and probably the most consistently well written otome games (again, MY opinion) that I’ve played from voltage (I’ve really only played Mystic Messenger from a non-voltage perspective). It’s fun!
