THIS WAS A NEW LAND FOR HIM

He had ventured from the north down south for one reason and only one reason - for help. He needed to find someone and he was hoping that he could find trace of her in the south, if not then he would be doomed to die in this body and that was something that he wished to avoid at all costs. This land was strange and foreign to him, even stranger to the body he had started to call his own, by lack of choice.

He travelled by night and slept during the day. He would not risk it nor chance it. He remained as far away from the roads, from paths and from people as much as he could. He didn’t want confrontation, he didn’t want anyone picking up his own trial and hunting him, afterall he was not an idiot - he was a worthy kill - something to boast about in a tavern with a warm woman in your lap and a cold drink in your hand.

HE WOULD NOT GIVE ANYONE THE SATISFACTION

Yet this night he had went a little bit too close to the road and he heard it. Two travellers had been set upon by bandits and beaten senseless - they had been left alive, but their valuables had been stolen from them and now both of them fucked around trying to clean one another up instead of hightailing it to the nearest village to report the crime and get proper help.

It was then that he could smell it. A twitch at first but it was strong. Blood. It only reminded him how fucking hungry he was. How he had not truly eaten properly at all. Refusing to give in to what this body needed, he barely ate and when he did it was fucking berries of all things, something that would just barely keep him alive and keep him going.

But there it was, two idiots, bleeding and wounded, just standing there wanting to be fucking killed and eaten and it was tearing him apart. It would be easy, too fucking easy. He was bigger than any creature they would have ever seen, faster and stronger as well. They would not last five seconds against him - but it was wrong, he knew it, but he could not pull away from that temptation.

HE WAS FUCKING HUNGRY AND IT WAS KILLING HIM.

He thought about it for the moment, and then the next he moved, and it was easily done as well, the first man was lifted up from the ground with ease, head dipping back, mouth opening and swallowing him whole, the legs kicking back and forth and screaming there one moment and then gone the next. The other man tried to turn and run, as he wasted no time, the to tongue fired out like a slingshot and caught him, wrapping around the leg with ease, dragging him back through the ground and into the waiting mouth, eating him as well, within the flicker of a moment and nothing more.

“Ribbet.”

Still, despite that he was starving, and two humans, for the first time, tasted delicious, they had been a worthy meal for someone, or rather something like him, but then once more, it was not enough as he was already on the move, seeking and searching for something or rather someone else, to find and devour as well.

She hummed; smiling to the moon. She liked darkness. She liked wandering at night; they told her she shouldn’t. They told her she was a creature made for day. For sun, and flowers. For laughter and gently touches. They told her there was a danger in the shadows. They told her many things. But they were wrong. She was not the creature of light. Quite on the contrary; Nunnally knew her heart was dark. Full of dangerous urges and greed.

They told her she had lost her memories. But it wasn’t the truth. She tried to explain it to them. That they were incorrect. That they should let her leave and follow her own destiny. Because if she stayed, she was the one to bring calamity onto them.

But they didn’t listen. They refused to even talk about it. It was their choice; not hers. She couldn’t change the destiny they had chosen to follow. But did she even want that?

But no matter what they said; no matter what they wanted to believe in and how they wanted to fool themselves: Nunnally belonged to the night.

This night. This night was not to be different. She wandered around, but not too far away from the main road and from the sacred place that held her hostage. Held her prisoner. She could almost see the golden rope that tied her to the desires of these people (fools). It was only a stronger desire, stronger greed, that could free her. Or rather put her in another cage. Until she could break free?

But what breaking free meant for a creature like her?

Cause she couldn’t love. She couldn’t die. She couldn’t…

Then suddenly a night turned different. A noise…She wasn’t sure what it truly was. The thread was still long enough to allow her to sate her curiosity. A sight that she met with her blue eyes would be terrifying to anyone and everyone but not to her. Not to a creature of the night.

A monster. Reminding her of a giant frog was having a feast. But what was his dinner…? She wasn’t sure, although she could take her rather accurate guess. Not that it had bothered her (at least not too much). That was a circle of life.  That she was not a part of. Long time ago she had been; and long time ago she had also stopped being a part of it. When the man she loved, when he had chosen wrong. When her love hadn’t been enough…

…she freed herself from his love…from her love…from any love at all…

She had become was she was. A monster. A harbinger of a bad fortune. Of death. Was she happier? She had forgotten what happiness was. But she wasn’t also unhappy. She was free of emotions. Of understanding. Or rather she did understand and sometimes she even felt she did remember what it felt to feel…but truth to be told, she didn’t know.

The Witch of Greed. The Lady of Lust. The Mistress of Illusion.

Illusion…her life was illusion. Back then and right now.

She was a MONSTER. One that couldn’t be destroyed. There was only one power that could destroy her.

REGULUS CORNEAS. REINHARD VAN ASTREA.

Though they would never stand hand in hand to challenge her. To face her. To kill her. The two sides of the coin; only when united they could destroy the most primal force that was part of them.

The memory of the princess.

The memory of the blond girl with a blue ear-ring.

She was both of them. She was neither.

“Are you still hungry, you sweet little creature?” – Nunnally addressed the monster – “I would offer myself as your meal, but that’s not the courtesy I am able to give you.” – but she could still offer the creature his meal.

REGULUS CORNEAS. REINHARD VAN ASTREA.

It was time for the golden rope to be broken. It was time to move. And this creature would grant her the freedom.

REGULUS CORNEAS. REINHARD VAN ASTREA.

Which of them loved her? Which of them hated her?

Both or neither?

REGULUS CORNEAS. REINHARD VAN ASTREA.

Nunnally started to laugh (frantically). They had given her something she had never asked for. They would meet. One day when the known world would end. So that they'd get a chance in another world?

REGULUS CORNEAS. REINHARD VAN ASTREA.

They were one. She now understood it. Would they ever? Would it hurt them? Would it hurt the world?

RAINCODE 4KOMA COMIC PROJECT

Next page

This is another project that I'm currently working on with @kazinsblog! We adore makoyuma and they're our number one faves.

So we decided to make a little 4koma style side special of Kazin's mini series "The Kanai Ward Case Files"

This intro is the only normal comic in this story.

Prologue: Flu season hits worldwide, and Makoto calls Yuma one day and gives him the warning. Yuma notices his congested voice so he wants to head to to Kanai Ward to check on him. But meanwhile, Yuma is trying his best to hold his cough as he talks on the line. Only to suffer the fit after Makoto hangs up. He isn't well either.

When Yuma arrives in Kanai Tower finding Makoto completely disheveled and passed out at his work desk, he ushers the stuffy CEO to bed. The two were shown pushing themselves while being sick alone. But now that they're together, these stubborn workaholics will finally rest and break from their duties in order to take care of each other. (for the most part anyway)

further information below

Of course since I'm involved in this project, they're obviously not going to be doing well... XD But this story is going to be a lot more fun and lighthearted than others I have written. (It's essentially written in a silly sick filler episode of a cartoon kind of vibe) meaning less whump, and more sick comfort and hilarity. There may be a few somewhat whumpy ones here and there (I can't resist) but it won't be as common.

Full Story Summary:

This RainCode fan side story revolves around slice of life comedy 4koma style strips with scenes of Yuma and Makoto being sick together and spending time with each other in Kanai Tower for about a week or two. They both have different halves of cold symptoms, Yuma with throat based, and Makoto with nasal based. (hence the title) Various cute and wacky stuff happen between the two and their bond grows stronger spending this time off together away from their duties as detective and CEO. They may be sick and miserable, but at least they're in it together! What could possibly go wrong?

The comic strips will be drawn by Kazin, but there will be some bonus art that the two of us will work on together (similar to the title which was a collab by us both)

Also, both of us agreed that these strips should be posted on my blog rather than Kazin's. Reason being is that this story is based on illness and my blog is half an illness blog so it makes more sense to share it to mine. You all likely expect this sort of thing from me at this point anyway… XD (I’m also the director so I write the descriptions of them.)

And this series will continue to be ongoing so long as Kazin and I have ideas. (we currently have almost 100 strips planned)

I will update this in separate posts whenever more strips get fully digitally drawn by Kazin whenever she can work on them. With the tag #kanaiwardcasefiles h&h. Some strips will be random, some will be two parters, and some will have a timeline or are connected to others.

We both hope you look forward to this project! There will be a lot of funny and cute moments between these two, so we hope you makoyuma enjoyers are excited!

Also bit of a fun fact: This was inspired by when my mother and I had covid late April 2024. Something similar happened to us, and we each had one cold-like symptom more than the other. (her with coughing and me with congestion) So I thought of this idea for these two!

[whataboutyouisamascot]

I just realized you and buba have started doing the colored heart thing to send love to each other the way me and tonee do and it is the CUTEST thing I have seen in ages, I love seeing another bonded pair on the dash ❤️💛💚💜

Look at that, we make a little rainbow ❤️💛💚💜 (gay)

Bubs has been doing it for a good few months now, and I've started picking up on it recently, as well 💚 I'm glad you find it cute, haha. Just know that the little hearts are like a public facing wall of how cheesy/sappy we can be. Yay for bonded pairs on the dash :))

Rly excited to share all about Hwang Bokja (Mrs Eom) and 203 (Moonjo)'s lore because it's pretty unexpected

[turtleblogatlast]

Okay back on my Pokémon thoughts- forget the teams for a second that stuff takes longer than expected to narrow down.

Been thinking what types the boys would be and I think I’ve narrowed them down to a select few for each of them.

For Mikey, I’m thinking Electric, Fire, and Fairy. Electric because he just has so much energy, and I feel like his razzmatazz is akin to how Electric types typically are + Electric types are very chaotic and Mikey is also Very Chaotic. For Fire, well I feel like that one is self explanatory with not only how his first weapon operated but also how his ninpo works in general + how he’s generally a very warm-hearted boy. For Fairy, I tend to associate Fairy types with magic, and considering how Mikey is the most tied with mystics, I think this goes well with him + he’s a smol guy. I’m leaning Fire/Fairy though.

For Donnie, I’m thinking Electric, Steel, and Psychic. Electric because TECHNOLOGY. Steel because TECHNOLOGY. Psychic because of how his ninpo works primarily revolving around TECHNOLOGY. Okay but to be more in depth- like I mentioned with Mikey, Electric is a chaotic type and I think Donnie aligns with chaos a lot. For Steel, yes because of technology, but also because of how Donnie tries to portray himself as “emotionally unavailable” so the defenses he puts up in that regard are very Steel like. For Psychic, let’s be real that’s the “smart” type for the most part (plus it’s purple). Donnie could be any combo of these to be honest but I’m leaning Steel/Electric.

For Leo, I’m thinking Steel, Dragon, Dark, and Water. Steel because of his swords (and like I said with Donnie, the defenses that Leo puts up to mask his feelings and true self.) Dragon because I find that to be a big “leader-ly” type, and him having that type works well with his eventual position as team leader. Dark because let’s be real, he is a schemer, and Dark types in general tend to be very scheme-y and misunderstood. Water because he’s a lackadaisical character who goes with the flow a lot of the time, even against his better judgment. This boy makes it a mission to be hard to figure out, so I genuinely have no idea what he’d be. EDIT: I have been successfully convinced to lean Water/Dark for Leo! EDIT 2: HMM maybe flying and ghost now as potentials???? Why is Leo so hard to figure out.😭 EDIT 3: I cannot believe I’m saying this but I’m actually leaning hardest to Dark/Ghost now. Dark is all but confirmed in my mind but Ghost is very quickly making itself make sense here ironically.

For Raph, I’m thinking Fighting, Fire, Ground, and Dragon. Fighting because he LOVES fighting, he’s good at it, and he’s the one who strives to get the actual moves down most + this goes with his protective personality. Fire because he DOES have a temper to him, however much he wants to keep it pushed down, but also he, like Mikey, is a very warm-hearted boy. Ground because he’s the tank!! And he’s solid in his strength and his duty. Dragon because he’s the eldest, the one the boys look to for strength, the one who was the initial leader and-! He looks the most like a dragon lol. Like Leo, it’s kinda hard to have a favorite combo for Raph, but I think I’m leaning Fighting/Dragon. EDIT: I have been convinced that Fighting is a definite for Raph but Ground may work better for his secondary!

This was a lot harder to think of than I thought haha. Please if you have any ideas let me know (especially since I’m not totally convinced or tied to anything in particular quite yet)! While it’s hard to pin down perfect typings, it’s also very fun.

[k-odyssey]

I watched part of ep 4 of Tastefully Yours (before pausing and leaving the rest for tomorrow), and I keep thinking, sometimes the ML feels like he had a personality transplant compared to ep 1. I mean, good that he's acting like a better person, but also how? the generous part of me thinks it's the geographical cure. he left a life where everything was provided for him and he thought himself the smartest person in every room. now he depends on others, lives in a community, has learned he's fallible? so maybe that helped. maybe he was acting in the way he thought was expected of him? his mother definitely has that vibe of encouraging competition & never hugging her children... otherwise it's bad writing.

[fennthetalkingdog]

Someone just treated me like a dog today and it made me feel? So good?? Like I was caught off guard at first cause they've never done that before (they only pet my head but still), but then they were like, "But aren't you a dog?" and AGH, it felt so nice!
