Seven Years - Ch 22: Flash Photograph

Notes:

here's a friendly warning that the next chapter is . . . well . . . how do I put it?

. . .

I'll go with 'really sad' and let the reader interpret from there...

but if this is getting to be too heavy for anyone I recommend either looking at the tags for warnings so you know what to expect (tags contain spoilers), reading the outline I posted here on tumblr (also has spoilers), or skipping ahead to ch 25 when it's posted.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

🔹🔹🔹

Leo was right, he felt much better after a good feed of pizza (even though he only ate two slices) and now he was sitting back on the couch that had been returned to Draxum’s lab, looking over the replies to his many posts of shots taken at Hueso’s, and of his meal with his entire family.

As was customary for him, @PaintingKeepsMeCrazy already touched-up three of Leo's favorite pictures, to make him look as healthy as he was before. Right now he was in the process of hand painting a copy of the touched-up photo of Leo smiling with a rainbow ‘unicorn’ - at the slider’s request - promising to have it done in two or three days.

At that moment, Draxum opened his portal and Master Nakamura walked through. Leo looked up from his phone and asked: “Hi sensei, what brings you here?”

“I thought this would be something you want to see,” Akimitsu replied.

Leo sat up when his sensei showed him his tablet and pressed ‘play’ on a video of the red panda teaching ninjitsu.

“No way!” He sat ahead and Master Nakamura handed over his tablet when the slider reached out for it as his family crowded around their sick brother so they could see too, and Leo smiled up at them while pointing to the screen and enthusiastically saying: “Those are my moves!”

Leo’s smile grew bigger the longer he watched, and Master Nakamura politely asked: “I take it you approve?”

Looking up at him with a glowing grin and a sparkle to his otherwise tired eyes, Leonardo enthusiastically agreed: “You bet I approve!” feeling like now this part of him would live on long after his death.

When the video was done Leo asked his sensei to share it with him, and Akimitsu emailed both that video and one he had from the day Master Leonardo taught his very first (and last) advanced ninjitsu class.

After watching the video of his very first class (and the other one again) Leo happily gave his sensei permission to post them on his dojo website and advertise a new advanced ninjitsu class endorsed by Master Leonardo Hamato and inspired by his fighting style.

Leo was eager to post both videos on his Yappi Yokai page, along with a link to Master Nakamura’s dojo website. While he was there he checked out what his followers posted to his wall, with a photo near the top from @PaintingKeepsMeCrazy (aka Beebs the bunny) taken outside Draxum’s house less than two minutes prior.

‘Are you still here?’ Leo posted.

Almost immediately, Beebs posted back: ‘Yeah, getting some pics of your house for a new painting, but it’s hard to get a good shot with the crowd.’

‘Wanna get a better shot, and a few pics with yours truly?’ Leo immediately posted in reply.

‘Wow really!?’

‘Stick around 😉’

After posting that, Leo looked up at his big brother with a mischievous grin and said in a very playful tone:

“Oh Rap-hie! You’re not gonna liiike this!”

Raph’s face face.

“Oh no Leo, what’d you do now?”

~A Short Time Later~

The front door to Draxum’s house opened up and the tall red panda spokesman came out and walked up to a podium that was sitting inside a locked steel gate to the Baron's house - that he had installed shortly after the whole yokai world found out about his relation to Leonardo Hamato and his three hero brothers.

The podium held dozens of microphones from various different news channels, and Akimitsu cleared his throat before asking: “Is there a rabbit yokai here by the names of Beebs?”

“That’s me!"

A furry paw-like hand popped up and the crowd parted to reveal a short, petite white rabbit yokai about eighteen or twenty years old, who was holding a professional-looking camera in both hands.

He happily ran up to the gate with a few excited hops along the way to get there faster and Akimitsu unlocked it before opening it just a crack to let him in through, and then he firmly shut and locked it behind him.

Beebs followed Akimitsu to the podium and stood alongside it when the red panda instructed: “Wait here.”

Master Nakamura then walked up to the podium again, and announced to the eager crowd, “Master Leonardo Hamato would like to come out to greet his fans, answer a few questions, and take photos with his online friend, Beebs. His honorable, heroic family will also be joining him.”

The petite rabbit fairly glowed he was so excited, with a big smile on his face that showed off his two long front teeth as Master Nakamura continued.

“Please note, due to the nature of Master Leonardo’s ailment, the use of flash photography will be strictly prohibited the entire time he is outside. I repeat, the use of flash photography is strictly prohibited for the entire duration of Master Leonardo’s visit.” He gestured to a couple of police officers who were on duty, supplied from the Hidden City police station for the purpose of crowd control and to prevent any yokai from attempting to climb over the fence, while adding:

“Anyone violating this rule will be escorted off the premises as bright flashes of light can and will aggravate the symptoms of Master Leonardo’s delicate condition. Please take a moment now to ensure your flashes are off.”

Akimitsu paused a moment to watch the yokai confirm their flashes were turned off, and when he allowed sufficient time to pass, he said: “Thank you for your compliance. And now, the honorable Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo Hamato, as well as their family.”

Meanwhile, while Leo was waiting to hear their names called, he looked up at his big brother and asked: “How do I look? Can you notice I used that refresher spray?”

Raph smiled down fondly on his ill brother who went all out trying to look his best for his many fans and the professional pictures his online buddy was going to take - and no doubt later paint and sell in his online store that Leo publicly endorsed.

For the first time in a while he was wearing all his ninja gear - his blue mask, black arm and leg ninja wrappings, his belt, and he even had his katanas in their sheaths strapped to his back. The only thing he wished was that he could ditch the cane he was leaning on for support to really look the part of the skilled ninja he once was.

“You look good,” Raph told him. But the truth was that even with the refresher spray the ill slider looked paler than ever before, and was clearly underweight and relying more heavily on his cane right now than usual.

But Leo knew he meant well and smiled up lovingly at his big brother, until Mikey nervously asked: “Are you sure you’ll be ok with your swords, Leo?”

Leo smiled fondly at his younger brother next, and replied: “If they throw me off I’ll give them to you, ok lil bro?”

Mikey smiled and nodded his head, then they heard their names called and Draxum opened the door to lead the way out.

All of Leo’s protective family went out ahead of him with Raph walking by his side to provide assistance, if necessary. They did this to block the crowd’s view of their ill brother for the time being, as Draxum walked up to the podium and Master Nakamura graciously moved over for him. Then, he stood tall in front of the podium full of microphones, with his hands clasped behind his back, and he calmly looked over the crowd while Leo walked up to Beebs to give him a handshake turned embrace by the huggy slider just before Draxum announced:

“I am aware you were informed the use of flash photography is strictly prohibited. As an extra precaution, double check all of your devices to ensure the flash had been disabled.”

Raph looked down on Beebs and asked: “You got the flash turned off on that thing, right?”

As Beebs showed him the display screen so he could see the symbol indicating the flash was off Leo laughed and told his online buddy: “They act like a flash of light is gonna kill me or something, but it just gives me a headache for a couple of hours.”

"And puts you at risk for a seizure!" Mikey objected, with Leo giving him his crooked grin and replying: "Just a little one, that's why they're called micro seizures!"

Donnie piped up when he dryly joked: "What makes you think we do any of this for your benefit? You get far too clingy when your head hurts.”

Beebs laughed when Leo draped an arm around his twin’s shoulders and playfully replied: “You know you love it, Dontron,” with a big smile on his face for the brother who he loved to tease more than anyone.

His 'twinsie' smiled back at him, then Draxum stepped down to give Leo the podium while Beebs began clicking photos of him and the house, the whole family, the crowd from his point of view, and just about everything else he could see.

As soon as Leo took the podium, he smiled and waved for the cameras, with Draxum standing very close behind him on his right and Raph doing the exact same thing on his left, like two big bodyguards. Then Leo cleared his throat to talk into the mics.

“Hi everyone, thanks for coming. I recognize some of your faces from my YY page, it's good to see you in person. I came out cuz my online buddy Beebs let me know he was outside my front door.”

Leo gestured to the bunny with an outstretched hand, and Beebs lowered his camera and shyly smiled at the crowds who were taking pictures of him for a change. Then his turtle friend continued:

“He goes by @PaintingKeepsMeCrazy on Yappi Yokai and he’s an great artist! He makes my favorite awesome art of me and my fam, show him some love by visiting his online store, all our favorites are on the main page.”

Leo looked down at Beebs - who was blushing - with a smile, and then he returned his attention to the fans full of reporters, and said a little more nervously this time: “So, uh, I guess it’s time for questions?”

A number of reporters raised their hands and the first one Leo picked asked the very personal question that everyone wondered but the Hamato's never answered before or discussed on their Yappi Yokai pages:

“How much time do you have left before this illness takes your life?”

Leo’s smile fell and a sickening knot formed in his stomach. The last official prognosis was eight months, but he knew deep down in his soul it was much, much less.

Draxum leaned ahead to whisper something in Leo’s right ear, but Raph beat him to the punch when he had the same thought and whispered in his left ear: “You don’t have to answer that.”

“No, it’s ok,” the slider replied, deciding he might as well rip off the bandaid right now instead of leaving his fans wondering right up until the fatal announcement.

Raph protectively stepped ahead to get so close to Leo he could feel the snapper’s plastron touching the back of his shell, and he put a supportive hand on his little brother’s shoulder, being careful as always not to rest any weight on it.

Leo smiled at his big brother before returning his attention to the expectant crowd, and he swallowed a nervous lump in his throat before answering: “The last I heard, eight months, but that number keeps changing, so I don’t know.”

Dozens of hands went up, and Leo picked one; but while that was happening a professional photographer for the Hidden City Paper decided to turn on the flash of his camera, strongly feeling the poor lighting didn’t lend well to a front page worthy photo of the very first (and possibly only) time the terminally ill hero - Leonardo Hamato - was willing to conduct a live interview - along with all his family who came out for no other reason than to support their brother/son/friend; figuring one teeny tiny flash couldn’t possibly do that much harm and the worst that could happen would be a front page-worthy picture with a few charges laid against him that his boss would no doubt take care of.

The next yokai Leo picked asked the difficult-to-answer question: “What measures have been taken to prolong your life?”

Draxum groaned, Raph wanted to scoop Leo up to get him away from these blood-thirsty sharks, and Leo grimaced and mumbled to himself: “Woah, tough crowd.”

*Flash*

Everything happened so fast after that, it was all over in a matter of seconds.

Leo’s pupils shrank into tiny dots and he stared blankly at the podium.

“Um…”

From his position behind his back, Raph instinctively caught his cane when Leo abruptly dropped it to grab the podium, and he held on like his life depended on it, with his jaw clenched and his entire body tense. Blood came out of his right nostril and stained the side of his blue mask when it simultaneously came out his right ear, as a result of the unexpected brain hemorrhage that one, simple flash elicited.

Leo had no idea what was going on around him from the massive seizure the brain bleed caused. His entire vision was flooded by a bright, white light and his body was so tight and tense Draxum and Raph had to each pry a hand off the podium before their goat dad could scoop Leo’s tight body up into his arms and rush him through a portal leading straight to the med bay; with the rest of their family hurrying through behind them.

At the same time this was happening, there was an uproar in the crowd as furious fans turned ugly, with the police escort off the premises turning into a rescue for the photographer who took the flash photo.

But he didn’t get out unscathed, and was led away in handcuffs with a busted lip, a black eye, and a sprained wrist from when his camera had been forcibly ripped out of his hands, before it was thrown to the ground and aggressively demolished by the loud, angry masses.

On the other side of the fence, Casey was the last to go through Draxum’s portal and he turned around to tell Beebs with an anxious, worried expression and a strained, tense voice: “Just stay here for now, ok? Leo really wants a pic with you and he, uh . . . he might be ok in a bit.”

After he disappeared and the portal snapped shut, Akimitsu looked down on the sad/worried little bunny and said: “Come with me, I’ll take you somewhere you can wait. But please refrain from taking any videos or photos inside the Draxum residence.”

As Master Nakamura led Beebs to Draxum’s large house, the rabbit replied: “Uh, yeah, of course,” and looked down at the display screen to shut off his camera.

Inside the med bay, Leo’s body relaxed and fell limp in Draxum’s arms. He took shallow, pained breaths through his mouth as he flitted his eyes around the room, trying to figure out where he was and what was going on.

“Augh,” he groaned, when he felt another wave of electrical pain beginning. There was a sensation like sharp bursts of electricity originating from his head that traveled down his spine, firing up every nerve along the way and everything went white again when his entire body once more involuntarily tensed from the powerful seizure.

While this was happening, Draxum firmly ordered their family to get an IV while Donnie hastily grabbed a new medication he and the goat alchemist only finished the day before.

Draxum held Leo on his right side to allow the red stuff to drain from his ear as the heavy blood continued pouring out, indicating his brain was still actively bleeding. When Draxum was laying him down in one of his hospital beds, the seizure stopped and Leo grasped his arm with both hands before Draxum had a chance to pull them out from under his body, with a weak, pitiful: “Noo,” before moaning and gritting his teeth with his body tensing all over again.

Draxum picked Leo up again and held him close, with Mikey standing by his head, taking off his mask, Raph standing beside Draxum, by Leo’s feet, with one hand on the slider’s leg and the other resting on his lower back, as the only means of comfort and support he could offer. April came over to inject the IV needle the second Leo’s body relaxed again, the way Draxum taught her; Splinter grabbed the IV pole and an IV bag; and Donnie was ready to administer the new drug as soon as the IV needle was in; while Casey grabbed a towel, that he gave to Mikey to put between Leo’s head and Draxum’s arm, to absorb the draining blood.

The instant Leo’s body relaxed April inserted the IV needle and Donnie injected the drugs while Leo reached his left hand down to grasp Raph’s in his. As soon as the drug was administered, Donnie got to work attaching the electrodes from his new scanner to Leo’s head, while the slider panted through his mouth with his eyes closed and sweat beading all over his head.

Leo felt another wave coming and squeezed Raph’s hand tightly - with the snapper reciprocating.

The poor, ill slider worried this was it, he really was going to die by bleeding out in pain; but at least his family was here. He wasn’t going to have to face his biggest fear by dying all alone.

Even though his eyes were squeezed shut, he saw flashes of light flickering across his vision when the next seizure struck. Like before, it felt like every nerve in his body was firing all at once with a burning electrical pain, before everything went white and numb again.

When it passed, Leo’s body fell limp once more, and he couldn’t be sure considering the tingling numbness and burning pain, but he suspected based on the new shot of pain inside his mouth that he cracked a tooth from as hard as his jaw had been clenching.

“Am I . . . dying now?” Leo mumbled out, almost incoherent.

It wasn’t Draxum who replied, but Donnie, who was looking at the display screen on his five-in-one marvel of engineering (that was definitely not a microwave), and without directly answering his question, told him: “The bleeding stopped, but it’s not over Leo, brace yourself.”

Leo moaned: “Mmmft aaaugh,” when he felt the sensation of another painful seizure was about to begin, and then his whole body involuntarily tensed again. When it subsided, Donnie informed him: “Hang in there twinsie, there’s one left and then you’re through the worst of it.”

Mikey encouragingly said: “You got this, Le…” but that was as far as the slider heard before he was hit with another surge of electrical pain, followed by the final blinding seizure.

After that, the bleeding from his nose and ear slowed to a stop because the medication Donnie and Draxum made together worked to end the hemorrhage in his brain sooner than it would have on its own.

Or perhaps it would have taken Leo’s life, first.

Thanks to the marvelous way Draxum created his turtle mutant creations, the natural healing process inside Leo’s brain began swiftly.

Even though the worst of it was over, everyone wondered if this would be the tipping point for their morbidly ill family member, who was already incredibly weak and sick before this happened; with all of them breathing through bated breath, afraid Leo would suddenly die right there in Draxum’s arms, robbing them of the eight precious months they all were hoping for, all because of what one idiot did to him with the flash of a camera.

When the last one was over, Leo panted through his mouth, with his entire body shiny from sweat, and he almost sounded half drunk with the way he mumbled and slurred his words when asked: “Is . . . it . . . ooo-ver?”

“Yes, that part’s over, now you're in recovery,” Donnie loving reassured him in a soft tone of voice.

"Am I gonna . . . die now?" Leo asked again, since no one answered him the first time.

The uncomfortable silence was answer enough before the factually-minded Draxum honestly told him: "I don't know."

Leo whimpered a little and kept his eyes closed as he cuddled in Draxum’s arms, and someone - he didn’t know who - very gently cleaned up the blood on his face.

Then he didn’t know if he fell asleep or lost consciousness for a moment, but one second he was laying in Draxum’s arms, having someone gently wipe a warm, wet cloth over his bloody face, and the next he was laying on his back on a slight incline in one of Draxum’s hospital beds, with the electrodes for Donnie’s scanner still attached to his head, an oxygen tube hooked up to his nose, an IV bag on a pole attached to the needle in his arm, and an oxygen monitor clipped to his right index finger. And someone was in the process of attaching a heart monitor to his chest when he finally had the mental capacity to look up at Draxum and ask in a quiet mumble: "Why didn’t you tell me? I thought I’d get a headache, I never woulda gone out if I knew."

Barry took Leo’s hand, looked him in the eyes with his glossy from tears, and softly replied: "I didn’t know, Leonardo. How do you feel?” while mentally kicking himself for not taking more unknown variables into consideration before this happened.

“Mmmn, paaain,” Leo groaned in reply, and judging by the way he was wincing his eyes and tensing his face and body, he was in a considerable amount of pain.

Draxum injected a dose of mutagenic pain meds in Leo’s IV and he breathed a sigh of relief when the ill slider relaxed his face and body. Once they confirmed he was stable and informed him he wasn’t going to die on them right this minute, Casey sadly said: “I’ll go let Beebs know Leo’s not up to any pictures right now.”

Leo heard what Casey said, so as his human friend walked away he raised his hand up for Raph to take it and opened his eyes to look his big brother in the eyes, mumbling in a soft, pleading sort of voice:

“No, Raphie, please. I owe him a picture, he's done a lot for me, his pictures make me smile on my bad days.”

Raph’s worried gaze softened with love for his self-sacrificing brother, and he softly replied: “You’re in no shape for that right now, buddy. We’ll have him come back another time.”

Everyone worried when Leo’s heart monitor began beeping a little quicker, and the slider moaned out: “Mmmnnn, noooo Raph, I don’t know how much longer I got, please, I wanna do this for him before it’s too late.”

Raph gave a worried gaze to his brother Donnie, not sure what was the right thing to do, and really wishing the intelligent softshell looking back at him with an equally worried gaze - or the genius scientist yokai in the room - would speak up and remind Leo he still had a good, solid eight months left.

But after what just happened to him, nobody knew what was going to come next.

Raph looked back down at his weak, unwell brother; his brother who knew he didn’t have much time left and who gazed up at him with watery eyes and begged once more: "Please?”

Beebs and Akimitsu were sitting quietly in the large lobby of Draxum’s home when Casey came into the room, looking very tired.

The rabbit and panda respectfully stood when he arrived, and he said: “Hi, uh, Beebs is it?”

The anxious bunny just gave the one-word reply: “Yeah,” and Casey told him: “Leo’s not feeling well enough for visitors, you’ll have to come back another time.”

“Ok, tell him I said thank you for the opportunity and I’ll post my artwork on his page. And, uh, I hope he recovers from this.”

Casey gave Beebs a soft smile and said: “So do we.” Then, just as Akimitsu opened the door for Beebs to leave, Donnie rushed to the room, calling out: "Wait!”

Beebs turned around in surprise and Donnie huffed in apparent frustration and waved him to follow behind, saying: “Leo says he owes you a photo together. Some sentimental thing about your pictures making him smile on his bad days. He’s too stubborn to listen to logic so come on, and don’t take any pictures along the way.”

Casey hung back to update Akimitsu of Leo's condition when Donnie turned around and briskly walked down the hall to the med bay with Beebs following behind, gazing at the many happy family pictures adorning the walls that Mikey hung up, having to bunny hop ahead a few times to keep up with the taller turtle’s brisk pace.

When they got to the med bay door, Donnie turned around and sternly told him (in a somewhat annoyed tone): “Keep your voice down he’s got a headache, and only take pictures with Leo, none of the rest of us want to be in photos right now, and make it quick. You got the flash turned off on that thing?”

Beebs held up his camera for Donnie to see the display, but Dee snatched it out of his hands to tap at the touchscreen and confirm in the settings there was no possible chance a flash could go off.

“Alright, you’re good, follow me.”

Donnie handed the camera back and led Beebs into the med bay. There, in a bed straight across from the door was Leo, sitting up with the adjustable mattress frame on an incline, and numerous medical machines hooked up to him, smiling and waving and looking much paler than ever before, with bigger, darker black marks under his half closed eyes.

“Hey Beebs, I promised a photo with you, get over here, buddy.”

Leo was so utterly exhausted Beebs noticed that he talked slowly and slurred his words slightly. So the rabbit photographer/artist fidgeted with his camera and softly replied: “That’s really not necessary, I got plenty of photos of the house and…” “Aw c’mon, you gotta take a photo so I can see the touch-ups,” Leo happily replied in a voice that sounded as tired as he looked.

Leo’s smile and convincing argument won out in the end, so Beebs gave him a gentle smile in return and went over to get some pictures of both of them with his camera. When he was done, he showed them to the terminally ill slider, and when Leo picked his favorite one Beebs shared it with him via a private message on his Yappi Yokai page before being escorted out by Donnie.

As soon as he was gone, the worn-out, tired slider instantly fell asleep.

~A Short While Later~

A picture of a very unwell turtle smiling in a hospital bed and hooked up to various machines sitting alongside a white rabbit yokai was posted to Leo's YY page, with the sleepy slider adding the caption:

“Finally got a pic with my favorite artist @PaintingKeepsMeCrazy thanks for keeping your flash off. Broke my five day streak, critical but stable, gonna sleep now. Raph promised to post an update on his page, @SmashyBigGuy before he goes to bed.’

Leo tagged Beebs and Raph in his post before laying his phone in his lap, planning on scanning through the posts his fans put on his wall, but as soon as his head sank into the soft pillow he was out like a light once again.

Once he was asleep his loving rat dad gently took his phone out from under his hand to lay it nearby on one of the side tables, before pulling up Leo's blanket to tuck him in and kissing him on the forehead, like he used to do when he was a young turtle tot.

~Later That Evening~

Leo woke up in the dim light of the quiet med bay, but he swore he was still asleep and dreaming, because he saw Karai’s glowing green form smiling at him from the foot of his bed.

In a half daze, like a stupor, Leo smiled back at her, feeling too weak and tired to give much thought to what was happening beyond this being another dream. But when she disappeared, and Leo felt Mikey repositioning himself, sitting up on the mattress beside him to his left, watching videos on his phone with his headphones on so he didn't wake his sleeping brother, Leo's mind cleared enough for him to realize he was very much awake and had not been dreaming.

“Eugh boi, that can’t be good,” the ill slider muttered.

“What?” Mikey asked. He paused the video he was watching on his phone and pushed his headphones off his right ear to hear what Leo had to say.

Leo wanted to tell him who he just saw, but for some reason the words wouldn’t come out for him, as though they were firmly stuck inside his head - like what happened every other time he tried telling them about Karai visiting him in his dreams. So instead of trying to repeat himself he gave up the battle with his own mind, smiled at Mikey, and asked: “Did you sleep?”

Mikey took his headphones all the way off, laid them on the side table on his side of the bed, and replied: “Noo, and I don’t know how you can sleep with the bed half sitting up like that.”

“I’m so tired I could sleep on a rock,” Leo replied, still with a gentle smile.

Mikey didn’t reply to that, and although he kept his smile on his face it faltered slightly and there was a renewed surge of sadness that Leo saw in his eyes.

“How do you feel?” his little bro asked.

“About the same, minus the pain,” Leo replied, speaking slowly because of how totally exhausted he still felt.

Like the life was draining right out of him.

Then his droopy eyes scanned around the room and he asked: “Where’s everybody else?”

Mikey pointed to the recliner on his side of the bed, while saying: “Dad’s asleep right there.”

Leo craned his neck to see his sleeping mutant rat dad over Mikey’s frame, and wondered how he could have missed the sound of his snoring before now. But his tired brain pushed that thought to the back of his mind, along with the rest of the ambient noise in the med bay - like the gentle beeping of his heart monitor and the humming of some kind of medical contraption.

“Everyone else is in the lab with Draxum. Donnie found something they think is gonna put an end to your brain bleeds,” Mikey replied; but judging by the way he was looking down instead of making eye contact, there was more to this story that he wasn’t sharing.

Leo wanted to ask Mikey why he seemed sad about such good news, but he was so tired, it just seemed to him to be too much effort to formulate the words. And he honestly didn’t believe his slow mind could do a very good job of following along with the box turtle’s explanation, anyway.

But Leo didn’t have to ask, because at that moment Draxum came in the room with Raph, Donnie, April, and Casey, and they all went up to Leo’s bed with smiles and kind greetings for the morbidly ill slider. But their smiles didn’t reach their eyes, which radiated more sadness than usual, and Leo found out why when they all gave Draxum their attention when he addressed his dying son.

“How do you feel?” was the very first thing Draxum asked.

“Pretty much same as before, but no pain,” Leo slowly and drowsily replied.

Gosh, how he wanted to go back to sleep. But everyone was here, he didn’t know how long he had left to be with them, and on top of that they clearly came with some important (bad) news for him. And judging by the bowl of soup Raph laid on the side table to Leo’s right, he knew there was no chance any of them would let him catch a few z’s without first eating.

Even though the very thought of putting food into his mouth right now almost made the ill mutant turtle want to gag.

“Pretty much?” Draxum asked with one eyebrow raised. Then Donnie inquired in a concerned tone of voice: “You slept a long time Nardo, don’t you feel any better at all?”

Leo wished so very much he could ease his family’s worries by telling them he was a little better, but the truth of the matter was that even after getting sufficient rest, he felt a little more drained and tired than before.

But maybe that was because he needed nourishment even though he wasn’t hungry in the least at that moment.

Leo was spared having to answer with his words because a yawn broke out, so he covered his mouth, closed his tired eyes, and replied to Donnie’s question by shaking his head ‘no’; not bothering to worry them even more than they clearly already were by elaborating any further.

“Leonardo.”

Leo looked back up at Draxum when his yokai dad addressed him in such a firm, commanding (yet kind and somewhat sad) voice it demanded attention. But before continuing, the goat alchemist let out a sad sigh.

“Donatello and I have conclusively determined that in your current condition...” he paused and swallowed a lump, and the tension in the air was palatable.

And Draxum continued.

“The very next time you suffer from a brain bleed, no matter how minor, you will not survive.”

“Oh.”

'Maybe that’s why gram-gram visited me.’

“But there is hope. Let me know when you’re ready for me to continue.”

Leo stared blankly at the blue blanket covering his lap (that someone must have taken off his bed for him); and everyone gave him a moment to allow the gravity of the situation to sink into his tired mind.

A frighteningly morbid realization came to the slider’s mind when he thought: ‘I guess I will bleed out and die in pain. But at least I won't be alone, like I was in there.'

Mikey noticed when Leo grasped the blanket by closing his fists over it, and Leo was drawn out of his own tormented mind by a soft touch on his arm.

The ill slider looked at his little brother’s weak smile, and Mikey told him: “But Donnie found a mystic flower that’ll help! Barry checked me first, but my ninpo wasn’t compatible, that’s why I was the first one to come back.”

'Checked Mikey first? Compatible? What?'

Leo slowly blinked while staring blankly at Mikey, wondering at what point he must have drifted off because not everything his little bro said made sense to him; but he felt far too tired to bother asking for a repeat, and looked up at Draxum when he cleared his throat and filled in the missing pieces by opening a heavy, antique book with a thick, brown leather cover, and a transparent, 3D image of a big, red, tropical-looking flower (only glowing) hovered above the pages.

“This mystic flower grows on an otherwise plain looking tropical plant native to the Philippines, but it is very rare, can only be activated late at night by a compatible yokai’s mystic powers, will only bloom once a year, and…”

Draxum realized he was giving too much information for Leo’s exhausted mind to follow when the sleepy slider’s eyes closed and he was having difficulty keeping his head up. But Leo opened his eyes and looked up at his twin brother when Donnie firmly said: "Leo," a little louder than Draxum had been talking, to get his attention, followed by a factual-sounding:

“Draxum confirmed Raph’s ninpo is compatible with the plant’s mystic energy, and I found one in New York, in the botanical conservatory.”

Between what Draxum, Mikey, and Donnie told him, Leo’s tired mind couldn’t quite put the pieces together, so he stared blankly at his blanket again, until Mikey excitedly told him: “Raph’s going there tonight!”

That got Leo’s attention and he gazed at Raphael, so tired he didn’t even realize yet tears were streaming down his face.

Leo’s big brother took his hand and the worry crease between his brows grew - as did his frown - at his sick brother’s pitiful face and pleas.

“You can’t go tonight,” Leo requested in a pleading sort of way, with his tired voice cracking a little from the tension he was holding in.

Raph’s eyes glossed over with his own tears but his face stayed dry (with considerable effort on his part) as Leo continued.

A sob escaped Leo’s mouth and his breath hitched when he forced back another one so he could talk.

“Stay here with me. Please Raphie, I don’t want you to go, not tonight.”

Raph felt like his heart was breaking into tiny pieces with the way Leo was sobbing and begging him to stay.

Leo let go of Raph’s hand to try - in vain - to wipe the away the tears with the palms of his hands; but the never-ending flow just wouldn’t stop; prompting his family to do their best to wrap him in a warm family embrace considering his position on the bed, and not wanting to disturb his IV line or any of the other medical devices attached to his body.

Leo wanted to hug them back, but he was so distraught that no matter how hard he tried to stop crying and wipe away his ‘pathetic tears’ (as Krang Prime used to call them) they kept flowing freely.

And the only thought in his mind was that he knew this would be his final night on earth even without having to suffer through another brain bleed; and how much he wanted to die wrapped up in his strong, protective, big brother’s arms, where he always felt the safest; knowing that this feeling of warmth and safety and security would dampen the sting of the fear that death brought with it.

But no matter how hard he tried to tell them that he knew - he just knew - he was going to die this very night (though not knowing exactly when) and that their gram-gram Karai had visited him not more than fifteen minutes ago, the words stayed stuck in his head and refused to enter his mouth or leave his tongue.

Despite the warm embrace and the reassuring words of his family (which included Splinter, who woke up at some point and joined in on the hug) Leo sobbed uncontrollably until he could cry no more, and gave up the battle with his tears to wrap his arms around his loving family, returning their group hug as he drifted off into a sleep so deep no one could rouse him to have even a few bites of food.

So Raph gently rested Leo's head on his pillow and Donnie pulled the blue blanket up over his body and Mikey hugged his arm from his position still on the mattress on Leo's left side, snuggling into him with tears running down his face now, while Splinter walked around the bed to stand on Leo’s right side to put his son’s pale green hand in his instead of sitting back in the recliner to continue his nap...

...because there was no way he was going to sleep after something like that.

Chapter 23: Not Falling Asleep

"Donnie, it’s Leo, get here now!"

🔹🔹🔹

Notes:

For anyone who missed it:

As an fyi I'm going to post the next 2 chapters this week to get us past the current arch that some people are finding difficult to read (if I don't have a flair-up of my chronic health issues)

This is the planned schedule:

- Thurs April 17 - ch 23: Not Falling Asleep

- Fri April 18 - ch 24: Coconut Lime Body Mist (new arch)

- Mon April 21 - ch 25: "Leonardo?"

I recommend skipping ahead to ch 25 if this arch is too difficult for you to read, the worst of this story's heartbreak will be over and things will start to look up again in ch 25 🐢💚

(Ack- sorry abt b4- Fantasy Au, but one where Asai and Milo don’t know eachother)

*Milo had been walking through a small woodland patch, watching bunnies and birds and listening to the sounds. She hadn’t expected there to be someone else there… Someone wearing a hooded cloak. They wore no shoes, and there was… fire, around their feet?*

(it’s ok lovely🥺💕)

*Milo continues playing with a group of baby bunnies and listening to the birds with a soft smile on her face, the yokai is completely oblivious to the figure watching her*

Today’s adventure in yokai watch doodles to cheer me up from a stressful week: attempting to figure out how to draw McKraken.

Things I know so far about this man: he’s a bad guy, he looks cool, something something puns, and his boss form is just a giant head with legs and/or The New Universal Reaction Image To Every Emotion Ever

I’m love him.

Hi! I randomly came across your lovely place and wanted to request a random story that came to mind. Could you do how the rise turtles would react to a yokai bunny reader with sensitive ears and tail. Maybe they accidentally touch the ears or tail. (heck, if you decide to do this you can choose whether its pain sensitive or not.) So yeah. . . . . . . . . . . .I'm bored tbh. I just mainly want fluff and comfort. I have just been having a hard time. So with that for now. . . Arrivederci!

Bumbadebedebedebedum! Ba— OOHHHHHH????

What’s this??

*snatches paper*

A Request????

A/N: this only reminds me of usagi lmao (/j), or is it Yuiichi? Idk his name honestly 😭 either way! I decided to base it more on anxiousness, the same way I don’t like people standing behind me. Like a nono square 😌 I hope you’re having a better time now, hun, and I hope my blog helps in some way :( my DMs are always open and I’ll do what I can.

—Literally Anything Else.—

Warnings(?): hurt/comfort, (less hurt more comfort) anxiousness, stating boundaries in a panic.

—

Mikey

Backs off immediately.

You two had been drawing together, leaning into each other’s side as music played.

He was drawing you.

how could he not? Watching your intent face as you tried to sketch a bird was the most interesting thing he’d ever seen. Your ears flicked slightly when you made a mistake, nose scrunching as you erased the lines.

His smile was consistent, looking from his sketchbook to your face. He tried not to turn his head so you wouldn’t get suspicious. He wanted to surprise you!

After he had indulged in drawing your face, he realized he had no idea how to go about your ears. He knew the shape of rabbit ears, he just didn’t know the physics! How would he bring it to life, he wondered.

That was when a curious hand reached out, brushing against the soft surface in an attempt to understand it.

You jumped back, holding the part of your ear protectively as you stated at him with an absolutely incredulous expression. “What in pizza supreme do you think you’re doing!?” You analyzed his face for any form of malice, brows furrowed with anxiety.

Mikey looked at how nervous you were, and felt Dr. Feelings come through a little as he thought through his next words. “I’m sorry, Y/n.” He spoke gently, a small smile gracing his lips as he gave you space, “I should have asked. I won’t do it again.”

You were surprised at how calm he was— how quickly he accepted it as fact and just went back to drawing. He wasn’t offended? Even after you were snappy?

Your nose twitched curiously, looking over at his sketchbook and coming face to face with yourself.

he was.. drawing you! You!!

There was an excruciating amount of detail, as if he wanted to memorize every crease of your face— every muscle that moved and every mark that he thought was beautiful.

You all but melted as you realized what he was trying to do, to — understand how you worked, He wanted to know more about you.

You leaned back into his side, sliding in a compliment about his art as he snuggled into your face, avoiding your ears with care.

Raph

Apologizes profusely.

You two were laying in what he called his “cuddle pile”, which was basically just all of his teddy bears and pillows in a huge mess of fluff.

He had an arm lazily wrapped around your torso, head pressed into your shoulder as he churred gently.

You chuckled as he snuggled in deeper, turning to give him a gentle kiss to whatever part of his face you could reach. You were simply sitting on your phone, scrolling mindlessly and showing him things you thought he would like.

He was more than entertained with your presence, not to mention his drowsiness. He was at ease, which probably explained why his thoughts curiously wandered to those fluffy ears of yours.

They just twitched ever so slightly when you laughed, it was adorable, and you had a little freckle on the inner side that he was dying to mention.

the curiosity was innocent, but oh so tempting, and before he knew it- His finger barely grazed the soft fur. At the simple touch, you were already jumping out of your skin, accidentally kicking him in the process. You held the spot he touched and rubbed it aggressively, trying to get rid of the feeling. You were so overstimulated you couldn’t even say anything, it was such a light touch!! God that was uncomfortable!!!

Raph was completely taken aback, first of all, what happened? and second, you were able to actually kick him away!? He’s big boy!!

“What’s wrong?” He asked quickly, then looked to where you tended to your droopy ear.

It clicked, and he let you regroup, trying to be as small as possible before he began rambling in apologies.

“Raph didn’t mean to— he- I- don’t know what I was thinking—“

He hops between third and first person when he’s nervous, and he knows hes messed up. He begins explaining in a rush how he never wanted to scare you, and how he would never do it again.

After wringing your hands out from the excess stimulation, You gently place your hand on his — a reminder that you weren’t made of glass.

He seemed to pause, searching your eyes for any fear or anger. When he saw none, he let out a breath of relief. He cradled you in his arms, promising he would always listen when you were uncomfortable.

Even though you had no doubts.

Leo

Surprised it bugs you that much.

On the couch, you both were talking over a movie you had seen a thousand times.

It wasn’t anything different from your normal routine. He was making you laugh, you were rolling your eyes— he would say a character’s lines in a funny voice and you would respond by finishing the quote.

You two were always a very touchy-feely couple, (it’s a shock he hadn’t figured out about your ears sooner) so it was no surprise when you ended up in his lap, both of you laughing like there was no tomorrow.

He went to lay his head on your shoulder, and by complete accident, brushed the side of your ear. A light touch, one he didn’t even think about, but you did.

You flinched away, giving an unhappy whine/grumble as you rubbed the feeling out of your fur.

Leon’s brow bone raised, one of those looks he always does when he’s about to tease you. “You’re not— ticklish, are you?”

“Please not this time.” You muttered, anxiously fidgeting where your fur and skin met.

The blue-clad turtle paused, waiting for you to go on. He kept both curiosity and his wits about him, a little worried to be honest.

“You can tease me all you want on anything else—“ you said quickly, squeezing your eyes shut, “this just.. makes me anxious.”

Leo thought for a moment, analyzing your sincere form. He didn’t like when you were upset, it made him upset, the way your face melded into a frown felt so wrong to him.

Sure, he didn’t understand why you didn’t like your ears being touched, but all that mattered was that you didn’t like it!! And he had to turn this around.

Out of the darkness, he suddenly got an idea— an idea that would bring your smile back. His eyes lit up for a moment, before returning to their confident gaze.

“Anything…?” He smirked, pulling you back into his lap— this time facing him.

You quickly realized your mistake, attempting to protest before being reduced to a fit of flustered giggles as he snuggled into the fur of your neck, attacking you with love despite your cries for mercy.

Donnie

Understands completely.

You two had been dating for approximately one week, (Donnie confirmed) and he knew he’d fallen head over heels.

Because of this, he had to make sure you were comfortable so there were no surprise arguments between the two of you. Comparatively— even though he states it awkwardly, He’s way better at communicating than most of his brothers (cough Leo and Raph COUGH)

So, when he sits you down in front of him, staring intensely at you with an aura of absolute seriousness— you thought he was mad at you!!!

“Alright, um—“ he coughed, mentally scolding himself for the unconfident start.

“You and I— our relationship,”

he’s stalling

you’re panicking.

“I want to discuss— a means of um— boundaries.” He holds back a sigh of relief at finally getting the words out. You looked so invested In what he was saying that he could swear he was gonna topple over.

You, however, gladly let go of the breath you were holding. “Oh— thank god..” you smiled, “I thought you were breaking up with me.”

“What??” He gives an incredulous look, “Why ever would I do that!?” He’s acting level headed, but inside he’s screaming.

In any case.

You shyly described that the only thing you could think of off the top of your head was how sensitive your ears and tail were. “It makes me anxious when people touch them.” You muttered, fiddling with the ends of said ears.

Donnie simply nodded, “it’s the same with me and my shell.” He states, gesturing to the technology usually on his back 24/7. He didn’t make a big deal of it, simply wrote “no touchie ears/tail” up on the whiteboard under “concrete boundaries”

He paused, stepping back for a moment, “Wait— sorry, did you want me to ask or just not touch them at all?” He quirked a brow, and you shook your head, feeling a lot more confident in stating your feelings.

You had hardly ever felt more validated.

A/N: I FEEL BAD ITS SO SIMPLE SHDBJSHDJDHD but alas!! It was fun to write, and part of me is hoping that’s all that matters ^v^ in any case, Arrivederci!! I hope to see you again, Sarcas!! (Can I nickname you that is that okay—)

Wish I was him

Summary: Rottmnt Donnie Angst drabble

Relationships: Rottmnt!Donnie x Usagi, Rottmnt!Donnie x gn!reader

Warnings: Angst

Word count: 632

Explanations: (e/c) = eye color, (h/c) = hair color

A/N: Has this been done before? Probably. But heyy new post and new fandom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater

You said it looked better on me than it did you

Only if you knew how much I liked you

(Y/N) wrapped the the jacket Donnie gave him tightly around themself. They smiled, enjoying the feeling of the satin on their skin. They were at the lair, playing video games when Leo entered the room. And behind him was another guest.

But I watch your eyes as she

Walks by

What a sight for sore eyes

Brighter than the blue sky

She's got you mesmerized while I die

Donnies eyes widdend and he felt his cheeks grow hot. Behind Leo was a rather handsome bunny. "Guys? This is Yuichi Usagi. He's a really cool samurai!" Donnie stood up to shake Usagi's hand. "Pleasure to meet you Usagi. I am Donatello but Donnie will do just fine." They smiled at eachother, while (Y/N) could feel their heart split. They forced a smile on their face, waving at the bunny. "I'm (Y/N)."

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

Wish I were Heather

As time went by, Donnie and Usagi grew closer and closer. (Y/N) wished they could feel happy for Donnie, but they just felt empty. The (e/c) wished they told their turtle friend how they felt before Usagi ever entered the lair.

Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand

Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder

But how could I hate her? She's such an angel

But then again, kinda wish she were dead

Usagi's and Donnie's friendship turned into something more romantic. Soon enough they announced that they were dating and something inside (Y/N) broke. They ran out the lair, wanting to get as far away from the two as possible.

as she

Walks by

What a sight for sore eyes

Brighter than the blue sky

She's got you mesmerized while I die

They ran for what felt like hours until they stopped, trying to catch their breath. They sat down at in an alley, allowing their tears to run down their face. Why would Donnie ever choose a boring human when he could have Usagi? (Y/N) felt so dumb for hoping Donnie could ever like them back.

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

I wish I were Heather

The thoughts didn't appear often in their head, but right now they were all that filled (Y/N)'s brain. Why weren't they some sort of mutant? Or Yokai? Why couldn't they master any kind of weapon? Why weren't they stronger? More intelligent? Why weren't they Usagi?

I wish I were Heather

(Oh oh)

Wish I were Heather

(Y/N) kept sobbing phrases like "Why can't I be good enough?" Or "I wish I was in Usagi's place." The sobbing made it harder to breath by each minute.

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

(Y/N) looked up when they heard someone walk up to them. The other kneeled down besides them, gently wrapping their arms around them. "Shh.. he isn't worth your crys (Y/N).." The (h/c) clung to the other, slowly calming down. "Thank you for being here.." they yawned before feeling the other picking them up. "Of course. I'll always be there for you."

But you like her better

Wish I were

(Y/N) leaned their head on the others shoulder. It hurt like hell now, but they knew they'll get better over time.

The Cloaking Brooch Dilemma - Part 1

RotTMNT Donatello x OC!AFAB

Synopsis: Donatello considered himself, nay, deemed himself the greatest mind of his generation. He was known for his skills as a scientist, inventor, engineer and was a technological genius. Dare he throw in that he was a damn good brother and held the title of being 1/4th ‘Protector of New York City’.

He could barely fathom that he didn’t piece together that the pretty barista he was falling for was simultaneously his gaming buddy (might I add, for the last eight years) and was working for Big Mama.

At this very moment, Donatello was sure of two things in his life. One of them being his life was a joke and the second being that he was fraternizing with the enemy.

All because he decided to run errands whilst donning his cloaking brooch.

Warnings: Aged-Up turtles, fluff, Half-Yokai OC, AFAB OC (does use she/her/they pronouns in writing), swearing

Ch 1 - Violet

You had known Othello for years- since you were sixteen, and you were in your mid-twenties now. He was a familiar online presence to you, and a welcome one at that. ��Bootyyyshaker9000’ was his online name and the two of you had met through a tutoring forum for your high school IB math class, after getting acquainted with one another through the forum, your online chats quickly moved to Discord while the two of you played and chatted into the early mornings.

“Okay,” you exhale and glance at the time in the corner of the lit computer screen, “I think I’ve got to go, it’s super late and I’ve got to open tomorrow morning.” The mouse hovers over the exit button while you wait for him to respond.

“Ah, yes. It is quite late. Can I assume I will hear from you the same time tomorrow?”, there’s a pause, “I will make no guarantees that we won’t stay up as late, Letty.” He says with mirth and while you’ve never seen his face, you can almost imagine the crinkle by his eyes when he smiles- you try your best to pretend he doesn’t make your chest tighten.

“It’s almost like you enjoy hanging out with me?” closing the game in front of you and twirling the cord of your headset around your finger as you wait for a response. You liked the back and forth banter between the two of you, but it never went past light jabs and casual teasing- “flirting”, if you wanted to be generous.

“Hah! Don’t get too ahead of yourself, Letty. Othello Von Ryan holds no attachments to mere mortals.” Watching the volume symbol light up as he talks, you’re tempted to ask him about turning his cam on. He starts up again and the thought dies on your tongue, “I’m jesting, as you know. I’ll let you go for the night.”

“Chat tomorrow, Othello. Night!” you mute your Discord as you see ‘Bootyyyshaker9000’ fade, the telltale sign he’s logged out for the evening. With an exhale, you take your headset off and hang it on your computer screen. 3:00am, blowing a raspberry to the open air you get up to start your bedtime routine in the bathroom. The stark white hair that ended mid-back and the bunny ears that sprout and stick straight up where your human ears used to be aren’t cause for surprise any longer as you’ve been “part-mutant” since you were sixteen. Heck, the amber pupils don’t give you a fright either anymore. Looking down you’re met with white rabbit fur that started mid thigh and followed downwards to your dainty rabbit feet. ‘Part-yokai, maybe?’, you muse to yourself as you brush the tangled fur at the base of your ears. Even before the alien invasion, New York had been home to the strangest things, and while not everyone had been as welcoming as you hoped to a whole new species that lived underneath New York City, the general populace was on good terms with the Yokai.

The mystery on why you only happened to be part-rabbit was something you could not solve fully, but you did speculate that the “oozesquito” that had bit you all those years ago just wasn’t as full with “ooze” as the other ones that had bit and fully mutated others. While it was quite the shock that left you locking yourself in your apartment for days on end on the verge of a mental breakdown, you adjusted to the physical changes to your body relatively quickly. The poofy rabbit tail at the base of your back and rabbit ears were the easiest parts to come to terms with, and your legs which looked like permanent fuzzy thigh highs and the rabbit feet were the hardest adjustment to the ‘new you’ you had to make. You noted a change in the strength (and size) of your glutes and thighs as well, which you egotistically felt very good about as well. You let your ears relax against your head and exit the bathroom and get comfy in your bed.

After setting the alarm on your phone and plugging it in for the night, you drift off to sleep.

---

Fastening your cloaking brooch underneath your sweater was the finishing touch before heading out the door. Looking in the mirror, you looked as how you did before the mutation. Your hair at mid-back length but instead of the white you’d grown fond of over time, your locks now an ebony color and your pupils back to a dark brown that complimented your darker complexion. Pushing your glasses farther up on your nose you deem yourself ready to go. You felt the air around where your rabbit ears would be and while you could feel the plush fur, they didn’t show up in the mirror, the space now occupied by your human appendages. You always thought it was an odd sensation to feel your extra rabbit bits but never be able to see them with the cloaking broach on, your ears and tail never snagged on anything either. You chocked it up to the mystic magic of the broach itself, it was meant to conceal after all.

‘hey thanks for the new cloaking brooch. i owe u one!!’

You send off a text to your best friend in the city post-mutation. You get a response almost immediately.

‘ofc! dont lose this one lmao, theyre so expensive! run of the mill tonight? can u pick up?’.

You rush to catch your bus, make it on and take a seat before responding. You did have games planned with Othello tonight, but perhaps you could have Usagi over for around dinner time and have him out before 10pm to still make game night with Othello.

‘ya sure thing. Hawaiian 4 my fav rabbit? i have games w otto tonight tho, get out my place by 10 lmao’

You pocket your phone and hop off at your stop, the crisp air bit at your cheeks as the winter season made itself known. You shook off the cold as you entered your place of work, ‘Rendezvous’ a hole in the wall coffee spot on one of the quieter streets in New York. Your phone vibrates in rapid succession, and you know it’s Usagi giving you Hell about Othello, you take one last glance at your phone before starting your shift.

‘OMG picking a MAN you’ve never seen or met OVER ME! AGAIN’

‘u kno im joking’

‘yes to hawaiin’

‘Hawaiian*** please pick up extra ranch sauce. ill be over for around 5pm, love u vi’

You chuckle and smile then quickly respond, “ya ya whatever. will do for extra ranch, starting work now. love u too, gigi’. You pocket your phone and count the hours until your shift is over.

TBC

A/N : OMGGGG its been YEARSSS since ive written but i guess were back in the game??? This is the first fic I’ve written since i was a teen so i hope its half decent???? This will be a multi chapter fic and ill post it on ao3 as well omg im rlly nervous LOL

trust, we will run into donnie very quickly, but it IS a bit of a slow burn to kinda set everything up (im in process of writing chapter 4, so i hope to have a semi regular sched to upload). i didnt anticipate to do as much world building as ive had to actually do since i just wanted a cutesy fluffy donnie fic but here we are with something more than i bargained for LOL

Special thanks and dedication to @moonlightmarauder for work shopping the fanfic w me in the dead of night and @afreakingdork for being my inspiration to actually start writing again!! (Check out their fic “Crush Too Much”, its a Donnie x reader and itll be the best thing u ever read, i promise)

Summer 2019 Anime Worth Watching

Summer is here, and with it brings another new season of anime! In case you’re feeling lost and want to find some new shows to pass the time, here’s some of the anime I think are worth checking out...because some really good shows tend to fly under the radar. I think there’s some genuinely interesting stuff this season, so hopefully you’ll find something you like too.

I also have a Winter list and a Spring list and a fall list now!

And here’s my master list for 2020

New Shows!

Given: A *cough* BL *cough* romance anime in which tsundere highschool guitarist Ritsuka Uenoyama is on the verge of losing his passion for music when he stumbles upon the sleepy-eyed Mafuyu Sato who constantly carries a guitar around that he doesn’t know how to play. Drama and musical shenanigans ensue. This was by far my most anticipated show of the season, because I happen to have read a few chapters of this manga and liked it a lot. The only reason I stopped was because I wanted to hear the music in this music oriented story...so naturally the anime makes me very happy. Not only is it sweet and cute with great animation, but it’s also hilarious. Sato is also basically a human incarnation of a lost puppy, and you just help but fall in love with him and the other characters! AND NOW WE HAVE TWO GAY MUSIC SHOWS THIS SEASON!

Dr. STONE: An action adventure anime that takes place 3,700 years in the future after the world is struck with a mysterious phenomenon that turns the entire human race to stone. Our protagonists: the genius, scientific minded Senku Ishigami and the muscle-y comic relief Taiju Oki, must find a way to rebuild civilization and turn humanity back to normal using the POWER OF SCIENCE! It’s fun, good looking, and way more interesting than I thought it would be. I’m not very attached to the main characters yet, although it’s still early. I’m mainly sticking around for the plot, the comedy, and the answers to the crazy amount of questions I have after watching the first episode!

Fire Force: An action/drama where super powered fire fighters must protect Tokyo from people who are spontaneously combusting while our hero Shinra must find out who started the fire that killed his mother. More than anything, I’d say this show is definitely worth watching for the cinematography and action because almost every second has been high flying dynamic animation that really grips you. It reminds me a lot of Soul Eater, the story and characters have a lot of potential, and you know an anime will be good when the girls have muscles too!

If it’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: Can you tell it’s based on a light novel? A slice of life set in a fantasy world where an adventurer named Dale stumbles upon an adorable lost little girl in the woods, who happens to be branded as a criminal. So of course Dale basically adopts her and tries to find out how she came to be with him. It’s basically fantasy School Babysitters without the tragic depth to it (but there’s room for potential). Yes, this is definitely the most wholesome show of the season, but it’s to be expected considering it’s basically Japan’s latest attempt to get people to have more babies. Personally, the most interesting aspect of this show is the fact that Dale and his “daughter” can’t speak the same language. Unfortunately, the light novel ends up pulling a Bunny Drop...so I sincerely hope the anime doesn’t try the creepy romance factor. So for now, if you feel like puking up some rainbows, give this one a try.

To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts: An action drama where, during a civil war, one side used “forbidden technology” to enhance their soldiers and basically turn them into badass monsters. The only problem: the soldiers who were turned start to lose their humanity and end up killing humans for the fun of it. Now our protagonist must hunt down his fellow soldiers and kill them before it’s too late. Honestly, this show has some pacing issues and can be a bit stilted in terms of its character interactions, but what kept me watching was the last 5 minutes of the first episode. I was so not prepared for the roller coaster that was the first episode’s ending, and now I’m extremely intrigued. Besides it’s made by MAPPA so I would at least give it a couple episodes to see if it’s for you.

Vinland Saga: The story of a young boy named Thorfinn’s journey to become a great warrior and while the adults deal with going to war. IT’S THE ONE WITH THE VIKINGS!!! It basically feels like a darker, grittier viking version of Moana. I’ve heard literally nothing but praise for this manga for so many years that my hopes skyrocketed as soon as I heard Wit was doing the adaption. And it has definitely lived up to the hype so far! It’s a great action historical drama to fill the void after Dororo. The only problem is no one will watch it because it’s on Amazon Prime.

Kochouki: Wakaki Nobunaga: A fun brightly colored historical anime about the famous warlord Nobunaga when he was a young teenager. I honestly don’t know what the tone of this anime is going to be from here on out, because it’s going to go from “fun thieving shenanigans with pretty boys” to leading people into battle, but it got me interested. I know putting Nobunaga in an anime isn’t exactly original, but this one seems like a fun ride...and it looks gay as fuck.

And I have to shout out some that haven’t premiered yet...just in case...

Try Knights: This one doesn’t come out until the end of July, but you bet your ass I’m going to be watching it because it’s an original anime about PRETTY BOYS PLAYING RUGBY! And I have a feeling it’s going to be very... different from the other resident rugby anime All Out.

Yokai Ningen BEM (Humanoid Monster BEM): Okay, this one’s not out yet either, but the trailer had a really cool vibe to it, so I’m including it anyway. It’s a remake of the 1968 anime in which a group of yokai who look like humans fight crime in the big city. If nothing else, the music is cool, and it’s made by Production I.G, so why not?

*UPDATE* The first episode finally dropped, and holy crap I’m so into this. It’s basically Durarara mixed with Psycho Pass mixed with Bungo Stray Dogs. The first episode has me completely hooked!

Next seasons and continuations!

As always there are some leftovers from the spring season that are continuing into the summer that I highly suggest!

Carole and Tuesday: The musical sci-fi anime directed by Shinichiro Watanabe wherein a rich runaway named Tuesday meets a streetwise girl named Carole, and the two decide to start a band together. Now Carole and Tuesday must rise to stardom in a world dominated by android created music. It was by far my favorite new show of the spring, and if you can find a way to watch it (because it’s still not available legally anywhere aside from Japanese Netflix apparently) I wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s got the best and most diverse music I’ve seen in an anime in a long time, an interesting setting (apparently it takes place in the Cowboy Bebop universe!?), and very well rounded fun characters. And I'm dying for a soundtrack release with all the songs!!!!

Fruits Basket 2019: Yes, the remake of the classic 2001 anime in which a girl moves in with a family who can turn into animals from the zodiac is getting a full run. And thank God because I just can’t say goodbye to it after only 12 episodes. It is so stunningly beautiful in both animation and story subjects that I don’t know what I would do without it. The characters feel so much more fleshed out, and I feel like I learn a lesson about life each week even though I already know most of what’s going to happen. If you never watched the original because thought you were too “cool” to watch a shoujo anime, give it a chance. Because if you think it’s just a generic love triangle romance show, you couldn’t be more wrong. The reboot is so good at portraying different kinds of love and how the presence of love and family can change lives AND IT’S JUST SO FREAKING GOOD!

Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba: In case you missed Ufotable’s newest project, this is a shounen anime that follows a young boy named Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko who has been possessed by a demon and their journey to turn Nezuko back to normal while fighting demons along the way. I still feel like this is a pretty basic shounen anime story wise, but I really like the characters, especially the villains. It has some of the coolest fighting/power mechanics I’ve seen in awhile, and the animation is very cool and different!

Ace of Diamond act 2: Our favorite shounen baseball anime is continuing into the summer. And I have very mixed feelings about this season so far. We are getting some fun new characters and some great scenes with the team, but the games are very...choppy and rushed. Apparently this is how it goes down in the manga, and we’re in for some good Sawamura development...but it’s still touch and go for me personally.

That’s it for now. Most of these are available on Crunchyroll, except Vinland Saga, Carole and Tuesday, and Kochouki: Wakaki Nobunaga. Since Try Knights and Yokai Ningen BEM aren’t out yet, I don’t know where they will be available legally.

See you next season!

Today’s yokai doodles! What if McKraken had a sympathetic backstory and also this story contained an additional cute gramps?

I was trying to think about why he might have a reason to hate humans, because honestly I don’t think a simple “he hates humans and he’s wrong” is really accurate to how the world works. Humans are indeed a mixed bag with some shitty people in here, and especially a lot of our shitty things might seem even shittier from the perspective of magic nature creatures.

Oh but I was still figuring out how exactly to draw him kiddified so thats why the difference in proportions between the two pics (and the bonus pic quickly trying to edit it)

The other bonus pic is the only thing i coloured cos i felt it would be a fun challenge to try and use all the colours of the canon Squisker boss fight and see if i could make them actually work on a more subdued character design. Seriously this thing is nuts, i guess they just went “mckraken is all white so this dude should be EVERY OTHER COLOUR”

As good luck would have it

summary:

"The little yokai -- it’s not hurting anybody. It creeped me out, like I said, but it can’t help being creepy, can it?”

Natsume’s eyes narrow. “Nishimura -- “

“I know, I know. But -- they’re not all bad,” he says helplessly. “You have your ugly cat, right? You have friends who aren’t human. They can’t all be bad.”

set in the full circle au

read on ao3

They left Taki’s house in a group, all of them with a plan of action in mind and Satoru with the leftover cake in a take-home box under one arm.

It was a school night, which was the only reason Kitamoto didn’t push the issue when Satoru turned down his offer of sleeping over again. He did make Satoru promise to call him if anything happened between then and homeroom -- and Satoru promised easily enough, because, honestly, what could happen?

But at the crossroads between Satoru’s way home and Natsume’s, as the colors in the sky leaned closer to evening than afternoon, Natsume caught him by the sleeve. His eyes were dark in that dying light.

They looked the same as they did hours before, when Natsume said he had a friend who could help -- when he swore he would fix everything, even though it wasn’t really his to fix. Satoru was beginning to recognize that look as a particularly headstrong recklessness that didn’t seem to belong in his gentle friend’s face.

“Is there anything else you need to tell me?” Natsume demanded of him, in as much as someone like Natsume was able to demand of anyone, right there under a buzzing streetlight. “Anything else you think I ought to know?”

Taken aback, Satoru said, “I think we covered everything. I’m not hoarding another curse somewhere, promise.”

But in the name of fairness, he thought it over -- wracking his brain for anything that might fall under his friends’ definition of need-to-know -- because he liked that everyone was on the same page now, he wanted to keep it that way, and no stupid, accidental omission on his part was going to ruin that for them.

“There’s the ghost that lives in my ceiling, and one I can hear singing from inside a house I pass on my way to cram school. And Yumemi, too, the one you brought with you to class that day. But other than that, I haven’t had any close encounters, besides the obvious one. I mostly just catch glimpses of weird stuff.”

Natsume and his cat both stared.

“There’s a ghost living in your ceiling?” Natsume finally said. Satoru couldn’t quite work out what his tone was supposed to mean.

“Yeah, but it just -- you know, hangs out.”

“That’s something sensei and I can probably deal with. Can we come over tonight?”

Imagining the look on his mother’s face if Satoru were to come home with a guest and a cat, Satoru shook his head immediately. “Sorry. After school tomorrow?”

Natsume looked really upset. “But -- “

“I promise, it’s okay. Honestly, it creeps me out, but it’s never done anything to me. We can let this one sit for another night.”

Which is how Satoru presently finds himself talking to the yokai that frequents his bedroom.

“So,” Satoru says, sincerely hoping Kiyoshi doesn’t walk in during this conversation, “I guess my friend is gonna come over tomorrow and evict you. Nothing personal, but I really need to be able to sleep here, you know?”

It’s the first time he’s spoken to the creature directly. It comes out of the ceiling a little bit, but otherwise just stares at him silently, same as always. Featureless and faceless and little more than a coherent blob of discoloration.

One minute of mutual consideration passes into two. Satoru feels kind of bad.

“I don’t think he’ll hurt you. He’s a really cool guy. But I also don’t have any idea how this works, so -- “ He rubs a hand through his hair, at a loss. “Maybe, if you wanted to leave before he got here, that’d be better. Can you do that? You’re not stuck here or anything, are you?”

It moves forward a little bit more. The only distinct thing about it are its round eyes, and maybe Satoru is projecting a little, but he thinks it looks more curious than anything.

“I shouldn’t be talking to you,” he says sternly. “Last time I got friendly with one of you guys, I ended up in a whole mess of trouble.”

He pulls up his sleeve and shows it his arm. Its eyes move, one going up and the other down by a few inches. It doesn’t have a head or any real form that Satoru can make sense of, but if it were a dog, it would be tilting its head. Somehow, that’s enough to coax a faint smile out of him.

“It’s easier to talk to you than I thought,” he says with some relief. “Maybe ‘cause we’ve spent so much quality time together already, who knows.”

The yokai is lingering in its corner when Satoru leaves for a bath, but when he comes back it’s closer than it’s ever been before. A quiet little lump on his nightstand with big, round, black eyes.

“Oh,” Satoru says eloquently, freezing in surprise. “No, uh -- I think you misunderstood me. The goal here is for you to go away.”

It’s a tiny, tiny little thing. It looked a lot bigger when it was in the wall. He resumes toweling his hair dry, watching it thoughtfully.

“Are you the kind of yokai that was something else before?” he asks it. “Did you used to be alive? Maybe not a human -- you’re so small. Maybe you were a bunny? Or a bird?”

It blinks at him, listening intently. Or at least, Satoru thinks it looks like it’s listening intently. It’s nice to have someone at his house to talk to who won’t lecture him or scold him, and he talks to it while he digs out his homework and struggles through a workbook.

Over the next hour or so, the little thing creeps closer in tiny increments until it’s inches from Satoru’s arm. It watches his pencil move in fascination.

“You’re kind of cute when you’re not haunting the corner like usual,” Satoru says, offering the eraser end of his pencil for its silent examination. “If I’d known you weren’t one of those nasty yokai, we could have talked like this a lot sooner.”

Possibly, it’s stupid to be so friendly with one of these ghosts after what happened last time he got close to one, but -- it’s so small. And it quivers a little when its eyes meet his, as though it’s aware of how big Satoru is, in turn.

And here it is, inching bravely out of the dark, into the warmth and light of the rest of Satoru’s bedroom; all because Satoru finally decided to look at it, and speak to it, and acknowledge the small corner of his home that it takes up.

He knows what that feels like. He’s gone whole days in his mother’s bad books, days she’s fed up with him and Kiyoshi is too busy for him, and he knows what an aching relief it is on those lonely days, to be looked at or spoken to. To pick up the phone and hear Kitamoto’s voice, or get a text from Tsuji reminding him about their homework.

“Poor little guy,” Satoru says quietly. “It’s okay with me if you want to stick around.”

Its eyes go tiltways again. Satoru huffs a laugh, bleak thoughts lifting away, and searches through his desk for something else it might like to play with.

There’s been something shadowed and unhappy living in Natsume’s face ever since he finally got a look at the curse mark on Satoru’s arm. He’s probably thinking all kinds of pointless thoughts, running around in circles trying to blame himself for the stupid trouble Satoru gets himself into when his friends aren’t around.

It isn’t Natsume’s fault, not even for a second. And Satoru has said that already, a couple times. He just doesn’t know how to say it to make his sad, stubborn friend listen.

“The friend I mentioned before is an exorcist,” Natsume says with a pale smile, sitting between Taki and Kitamoto at lunch. “He’s much more experienced in these things than I am. I called last night and he said he would look into it.”

“Let us know when he’s coming,” Taki says sweetly, with buried iron in her voice. “That way we all stay on the same page.”

Natsume looks faintly abashed. He’s quick to nod and say “of course, I was going to,” in a way that makes Satoru think he wasn’t going to until she said anything. Tanuma sighs.

“Well, at least Nishimura and Taki are going to enjoy meeting him,” he says, sounding vaguely like he doesn’t want to be there when they do.

“Wait, you know the exorcist friend?” Kitamoto demands. “Who is he?”

“Uh,” Tanuma says eloquently. He looks at Natsume for help.

Natsume glances over his shoulder at the rest of the rooftop, as if to make sure no one else is around to overhear, which is silly in two parts. One, because theirs is the only group that takes lunch up here, especially on gray days like this one. And two, because he’s acting like this friend of his is a celebrity or something, when, as far as Satoru knows, exorcism isn’t exactly a fame game.

“His name is Natori Shuuichi,” Natsume says plainly, a moment later. “He’s an actor.”

He’s an actor, he says. Like The ocean is salty, or The sky is blue.

Satoru chokes spectacularly on the bite of fish he stole out of Kitamoto’s lunch box. His friend says “Serves you right,” but pounds him on the back helpfully anyway. Taki is bright-eyed with delight, hands folded in front of her mouth, and their loud “Natori Shuuichi?” comes out in perfect, shrill unison.

Natsume is smiling, and it’s one of those smiles that makes something in Satoru’s stomach twist. It’s a smile that says “I thought you’d like this, and I’m happy you’re happy.” He gets it from Kitamoto all the time, sometimes he still gets it from Kiyoshi, but it surprises him to be smiled like that by anyone else.

Natsume explains that he met Natori that time the actor was filming on location near the edge of their town. They were something of grudging acquaintances at first -- and god, Satoru wished he could have seen it, he would give anything to have seen it -- but now they’re good friends, and Natsume thinks highly of him.

“Natori says a lot of things he doesn’t mean, and acts suspicious sometimes, but I trust him with my life,” Natsume says, with the stark certainty of someone who knows how it is to put their life in another person’s hands, and has no idea how odd it is that he does. “He’ll help us.”

“Especially since Natsume is the one who asked,” Tanuma adds wryly. “Natori would adopt Natsume in a heartbeat.”

Natsume turns bright red and denies it fiercely, which is pretty much proof that Tanuma is exactly right, but that’s not so hard to believe. Most people who know Natsume would be thrilled to make him part of their family and care about him all the time. The Fujiwaras totally lucked out by getting to him first. It’s not hard to believe that a famous actor like Natori could feel that way about him, too.

“That’s how you always managed to get your hands on such awesome merchandise!” Satoru exclaims. “Do you guys know what this means? I have connections!”

“Natsume has connections,” Kitamoto corrects him by rote, going back to his lunch.

“Same thing!” Beaming, Satoru says, “I am so getting an autograph.”

Thankfully, Natsume waits until they’re heading back downstairs and the others are a little bit ahead to remind Satoru that he’s coming over after school.

Satoru forgot all about that. He thinks of the tiny little creature in his bedroom, happily puddled by the shiny hundred yen coin Satoru left it, and blurts, “No!”

Natsume stares at him. Satoru tries to think of something that sounds reasonable. Natsume saves him the trouble a moment later, softening.

“Your mom?” he says.

Relieved, Satoru nods. It’s not even really a lie -- his mom is always mad at him for something.

Just as he’s about to go along with it, a nagging little voice in the back of his mind reminds him helpfully that this kind of roundabout thinking was what got him in trouble with his friends in the first place.

Even if it isn’t really a lie, it isn’t the truth.

Satoru rubs a hand through his hair. “Yes, but no. The little yokai -- it’s not hurting anybody. It creeped me out, like I said, but it can’t help being creepy, can it?”

Natsume’s eyes narrow. “Nishimura -- “

“I know, I know. But -- they’re not all bad,” he says helplessly. “You have your ugly cat, right? You have friends who aren’t human. They can’t all be bad.”

“Nishimura,” Natsume says again, just that, an argument in itself. Satoru’s shoulders slump, and he tries not to look dejected when he drops his eyes. The ground is much more interesting than the painfully understanding expression Natsume is giving him.

After a moment, his friend surprises him with a sigh.

“At least let me meet it,” he says ruefully. “Nyanko-sensei will be able to tell if it has bad intentions. I promise I won’t let him hurt it if it really is harmless.”

Satoru brightens, beaming at him. “Deal!”

Natsume smiles back like a knee-jerk reaction, shaking his head. “Most people I’ve met have a black-and-white perspective when it comes to yokai,” he says. “You’re weird, Nishimura.”

Satoru can’t help thinking of Yumemi and the little yokai in his bedroom, mentally comparing them to the creature that cursed his arm. They’re nothing alike, not even remotely. It feels wrong to try to lump them into the same group, even just for argument’s sake.

“That makes me the weird one?” he asks skeptically. For whatever reason, Natsume laughs.

“It’s right in h-- oh, no,” Satoru says in dismay, when his tiny roommate shoots back into the shadow of the wall as Natsume steps into the room. “I think we scared it. It doesn’t know you.”

Natsume looks both tolerantly amused and wary. He hangs back, Nyanko-sensei tucked securely in his arms, and Satoru goes after the yokai.

“Sorry,” he says to the wall, “but I told you my friend was coming, didn’t I?”

It peeks out at him, round eyes unwavering. He gives it a stern look.

“See? I did. You’re all bent out of shape for nothing.”

“Your friend has a deathwish, Natsume,” he hears Nyanko mutter behind him.

Satoru ignores him, standing on tiptoe and reaching as far overhead as he can to offer the little yokai his hands. It considers him briefly, but he’s probably as familiar as the rest of the room is at this point, because it slips into his palm a moment later.

It’s cool to the touch, like dipping his hand into an afternoon shadow. It's a small, solid weight that sits compact in his palms, somehow soft and velvety for all that it’s not really there. Satoru lowers his arms gingerly, bringing the creature in closer as though it's something fragile to be handled with care.

"You won't get hurt if I drop you, right?" he says, with the same uneasiness he feels when there’s a chance one of his relatives might ask him to hold a small child. "You're pretty durable if you're a yokai, right?"

Natsume is staring at him when he finally turns around, but agreeably steps in with Nyanko-sensei to study the little thing. It recoils from the lucky cat, trembling against Satoru's fingers in a way that makes him want to snatch it safely away. "Why is it scared?" he demands, eyeing the cat suspiciously.

Nyanko-sensei sniffs it for a moment, narrowed eyes an unearthly green. Then he huffs, and settles more heavily in the circle of Natsume's arms. "This was a waste of time," he complains, flicking an ear. "This little runt is totally harmless. You owe me manju, Natsume."

Looking faint with relief, Natsume's whole face lightens with a smile. "Is that so?"

"It was just a bird before it died. It must have some reason to cling to this house in particular. Maybe its nest was here or something."

"I wonder why it became a spirit," Natsume says, looking at the thing with a new appreciation now that he knows it won't hurt his friend. His voice is gentle towards it. "Can you find out?"

"It doesn't want to talk to me," Nyanko says dismissively. Just like a cat, Satoru thinks, affronted on his yokai's behalf. "This brat would probably have more luck than either of us would," he adds, gesturing at Satoru with a paw. "It seems attached to him."

"Let me know how it goes," Natsume tells him as he leaves. Satoru promises to, and sits on the bed with his tiny companion still in hand.

"That nasty cat scared you, huh?" he says, patting it with the tip of one finger. "He's all bark and no bite, I promise. He talks a big game, but he won't do anything Natsume tells him not to, and Natsume's on our side. Didn't I tell you my friend was a cool guy?"

It looks up at him while he talks, eyes round and without fear. The trembling from earlier has faded into the quivering anticipation that reminds Satoru of a touch-starved animal. A surge of sympathy brings heat to his eyes, but he doesn't falter petting the little creature carefully.

"So you were a bird, huh? I guess you wouldn't have liked Nyanko-sensei even if he wasn't a jerk. What kind of bird were you?" He leans against the wall, bringing up his knees. "It'd be nice if you still looked like a bird. Then I could look you up and find out."

Kiyoshi is studying in the room next door, and mom won't be home until later. Satoru will see his friends tomorrow, but the hours are long and lonely until then. He looks at the yokai in his hands, still watching him intently.

"It'd be nice if you could talk," he goes on with a sideways smile. "Then we could keep each other company."

It's probably that, more than anything, that causes what happens next.

"hello."

Satoru blinks himself away in the dim light of early morning. There's a weight on his chest that was there when he fell asleep, and he squints as his eyes try to adjust to the dark. He could have sworn he heard --

"hello."

A very, very small voice. Waking up faster with every second, Satoru starts to sit up, and freezes when the tiny needlepoints of claws dig into the front of shirt to keep their grip as he moves. He looks down, into round black eyes. They belong to a bird roughly the size of a small crow, with stark black and white plumage and long tail feathers.

It tilts its head at him, quivering. Satoru's heart flies into his throat. A quick glance into the corner of his room where his roommate usually lingers proves it to be empty. Could this be --

"Uh," he says eloquently, pulse racing. "Hi. Are you -- are you my yokai?"

It tilts its head at him the other way, movements bird-quick and precise. "you are?"

Satoru blinks a few times. It takes him a minute to find any words. "Have I really never introduced myself?" he asks dumbly. "I mean, I guess not. Wow."

It shifts back and forth on its feet, ruffling its wings. Satoru doesn't know enough about birds to know if that's good or bad. It's probably getting impatient with him.

"you are?"

"Satoru. Nishimura Satoru, but Satoru's fine," he says slowly. In part, he wonders if he's going to wake up at any moment to a more normal morning. He's half-hoping he doesn't.

"satoru," the bird says happily. "hello."

Anime I’ve Watched

Okay, here’s this massive post!

My roomie/best friend, Amanda, has gotten me into watching new anime as it comes out every season. We’ve been doing this since college, either 8 or 9 years ago, and it’s accumulated in a crapton of shows that we’ve watched. Obviously I’ve liked some more than others, and I can’t remember every single show I’ve watched, and with so many to list, it’s hard to think of shows I’ve seen when people ask me.

So I’m going to use this as a way to track all the shows I’ve watched!

I’m going to list shows that I’ve seen more than just a few episodes of. There are a ton of shows I’ve started watching, but then quit. Those aren’t going to count here.

Also, I’m going to use the titles I’m used to, so there will likely be a lot of Japanese titles of shows that I’ve noticed are more popular with the English title. I honestly don’t know the English title of some of them. XD;; It’s just how I’ve watched them. I will add akas where there is more than one version of the title.

I’ve watched all of these in Japanese, unless I specify that I watched it in English. The first few shows I watched in my life were in English, and so I tend to only watch those in English even now, but now I’m a Japanese snob and refuse to watch dubs. XD
