Autistic Anime Boys Side B Round 2 Match 8

Propaganda:

Ranpo -

"Picks up a bunch of things that other people don’t notice which made him feel really alone as a kid. Then this old man (he’s like in his 20s) walks into his life, basically adopts him and tells Ranpo that he’s smarter than everyone else and they’re just stupid. Founds a detective agency just to put this guy’s intelligence to good use. Ranpo can solve a crime in under a minute but cannot use public transportation. My favorite boy."

Masayoshi -

"Has a special interest in superheroes and has a huge collection of superhero merchandise and can recite his favorite superhero movie word for word along with all of the fight choreography. Became incredibly apathetic throughout high school after finding out superheroes aren't real. His dream to be a superhero is so strong that it literally alters the world and causes aliens to invade earth so he can be a superhero."

A/N: hello this is a very old post. please don't read i literally hate this...... (the "very old" is like. two months ago)

it was nearing 2 am, on a cold and breezy winter night. you needed 3 blankets just to keep yourself warm, tonight was freezing opposed to yesterdays weather which was sunny. sleep still hadn't found your way, but you were drowsy. next to you was a sleeping detective- no, the world's best detective. he was snoring very lightly, chest going up and down in a steady manner.

ranpo looked absolutely adorable when he slept, and you loved it. whenever you couldn't sleep, you'd just stare at his face and drown in cuteness. his face was cute, you always found it cute. today was no different. hell, you wanted to give him a kiss right now but you didn't want to interrupt his slumber. the last thing you noticed before turning to the other was that you wrapped almost the entirety of the blanket around you, which left ranpo with some half-assly covered blanket. you paid it no mind; surely he'll be fine!

finally, some sleep. you finally fell aslep.

...

and then you wake up. after a few minutes. minutes. however, you feel something clinging onto your back and trying to shift the heavy blankets on you, pulling and tugging them. after turning your head to look over your shoulder, you came to the conclusion it was your boyfriend (ranpo). he stiffened; making a small 'a' sound upon seeing you move. damnit, he didn't mean to wake you up!

"go back to sleep." he demanded, almost groaning the words out in his sleepy state. it was cold, and he had nothing to warm himself up with. the only response you gave was a small, lazy chuckle that left your throat without you even wanting to.

slowly, you held up the blankets for him to snuggle next to you, which he did with absolutely no hesitation. next thing you know, he was almost climbing on top of you while hugging you, holding you like his life depended on it. ranpo's skin was much colder than yours, damn, was the room that cold? his head kept itself heavy and buried on your chest, making the faintest of smiles creep up on your face. you snaked your arms around his torso and pulled him impossibly closer.

"goodnight," you sighed, near his ear.

"goodnight, my sweet." he purred back.

Ranpo Edogawa Boyfriend Headcanons

Warning: 18+ Below Cut 

Request: 

Hey! I hope you are having a great day! 

I don't know if anyone has asked before, but I was wondering if I can ask for headcanons of Ranpo Edogawa as a boyfriend? Btw, I wanted to say that you are one of my favorite writers on Tumblr and I just love reading the things you write!  ♡ 

Whichever lovely person requested Ranpo, I wanted to thank you for your patience and kindness. Enjoy your headcanons. ♡

SFW 

You’re too lucky: You have this “little” guy man, wrapped around your finger. 

 No, seriously. Ranpo’s in LOVE with you.  

You met the sassy green-eyed detective when Kunikida encouraged you to join the Armed Detective Agency. Being assigned as Ranpo’s partner, you quickly became     mesmerized by his “ability” to solve impossible crimes. When you     expressed your admiration to Ranpo, he (cockily) replied, “I know.” 

His heartless response nearly crushed your soul; however, when you utilized your ability to save him from death’s doorstep, courteous of Chuuya Nakahara, he discovered himself stranding with a bouquet of daisies on your doorstep. 

He expressed, “No one’s ability ever impressed me; I often think my way out of things quickly, but I didn’t today. Though I have been nothing but mean and was never determined to put your safety first; you did me. Thus, it’s not your ability that impressed me, but your heart does.”   

Good compliment, but it still hurt.

After his confession, Ranpo granted you permission to enter his “secret” snack locker. 

 Overtime, you noticed that you didn’t enter Ranpo’s locker for the free sweets, you simply enjoyed seeing the wide smile sticked to his face. 

Asked you on a date via Candy Hearts on Valentine’s Day. 

 When you sat at your desk inside the ADA office after a long day, you looked down. On your desk, there was three candy hearts laid out that spelled:   

  You Me Date  

From there, the rest is history: 

Just kidding, when would I leave you hanging like that? 

R.e.f.u.s.e.s  to watch anything besides detective television series: 

 Ranpo’s favorite show is Scooby Doo. Once the guilty character appears on screen, Ranpo identifies them and begins explaining why they had the motive to commit a crime.   

 Asked you to dress up as Shaggy and Velma for Halloween.   

  Invited Atsushi to be Scooby Doo; he agreed.   

 Enjoys watching Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime  

is ALWAYS snacking on popcorn when he’s watching television shows or movies. 

As Ranpo is eating, he will stop chewing to comment upon what detectives are doing wrong. He will begin addressing them as “dummies,” “idiots,” and “goobers.”   

As Ranpo gets angrier, he eats faster and rolls his eyes.  

It’s kind of cute.

When Ranpo talks shit, ENCOURAGE him. 

Though his comments can be rude; you cannot help but succumb to how   A D O R A B L E   Ranpo is when he’s frustrated.   

“Can you believe that idiot? He couldn’t walk me home! Probably went to find another place to die. Well, good riddance.”   

Lightly chuckling at his anger, you’ll respond, “Tell ‘um, babe.” “Fuck him.”   

Filled with steam, Ranpo will say, “Yeah, fuck him!” 

Gets F.U.R.I.O.U.S. when you put yourself in danger. 

When you faced the Black Lizards alone, you returned beaten, bloodied, and battered. Despite refusing to leave your side or release your hand in the hospital, Ranpo REFUSED to TALK to YOU.  

Since Ranpo has grown accustomed to your love, he doesn’t know what he would do without you. He HATES imagining the thought of you leaving him, even to something as uncontrollable as death.

Spell it with me: Ranpo is a   S.P.O.I.L.E.D.   B.R.A.T.    and YOU instigate it.  

You purchase Ranpo’s favorite sweets at the grocery store.   

If Ranpo is tired, you ALWAYS allow him to lay his head on your lap as you play with his hair. Expect Ranpo to fall asleep quickly...   

If Ranpo “requires” attention, he pretends to injure himself. He knows you’ll be running to comfort him within seconds.

Do not expect any public displays of affection. Only selective members of the ADA witness you holding hands once in a blue moon, but Ranpo enjoys keeping his relationship behind closed doors. 

Doesn’t enjoy public dates - Ranpo prefers to stay bundled within the walls of your shared household. 

Expect to bake a ton of sweets together, watch movies, cuddle, and plan picnics in your backyard.   

Ranpo’s logic: Within the comfort of his own home, Ranpo doesn’t have to pretend to be someone else. He understands that you fell in love with him, not because he is the “perfect detective,” but your version of the “perfect man.”   

The one time that Ranpo attempted to partake in a public date, he scheduled a cooking class. However, he quickly grew upset when he discovered the class concentrated on making actual food, not sweets or candy. 

“This is a bunch of baloney, literally.”   

Ranpo LOVES to go on long car rides. 

Sorry, you’re driving.

You’ve developed a TERRIBLE habit of squeezing Ranpo’s cheeks in public.

Cue Ranpo glaring at you with the “are you serious” face.

P.E.T.N.A.M.E.S. G.A.L.O.R.E.

“Congratulations, cupcake! I’m so proud of you!”   

“Thanks, sweetheart. Don’t forget to grab my icing at the store!” 

Sometimes your relationship becomes strenuous because you’ll act like his mother: 

You’ll wake Ranpo up to go to work in the morning.   

He will ask you to do his laundry.   

Begs you to make his plate when you cook dinner because he doesn’t want to get up from the couch.  

Relies on you to clean the dishes.    

A bit of a GASLIGHTER (but a playful version). 

“It’s okay, baby. I’ll just walk by myself today.” Two seconds later you’ll hear him huff.

“You’re always at work. I could use some love! What does a guy have to do to get a kiss around here?” 

“You’d be the prettiest woman in the world if you would come to bed.” 

However, the benefits of being in love with Ranpo outweigh the costs: 

His small romantic gestures make your heart GROW three sizes larger: 

When Ranpo is walking to work with you, he picks random wildflowers, ties the bundle together with a string, and places them on your desk. 

Composes tiny love letters and places them around the house for you to find. 

“You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.” 

“I thought you were always pretty cute... Sorry, forgot the ‘and.’” 

Purchases items that remind him of you. 

Purchases you gifts that remind him of himself. 

“I got you this so you can always think of me no matter where you are!” 

L.O.V.E.S. when you’re admired by society. Every person and their mother ADMIRES and ADORES you. 

When you were being interviewed for capturing a wanted criminal, Ranpo was sitting (front-row seat) in the audience watching you with stars in his eyes. 

In his head, he was shouting, “That’s my woman!” 

Celebrates your success - When you complete a task for the ADA, you’ll arrive home to discover cupcakes waiting for you in the kitchen. When you look up from the counter, you’ll see Ranpo grinning with a handful of roses. 

“I’M SO PROUD OF YOU, CUPCAKE!” 

When you and Ranpo are not assigned to work together, Ranpo will arrive home, change into his fluffy pajamas, and gossip about his entire mission.

Usually, Ranpo will rant about the police. His stories always end in the sentence, “so I came in to save the day. Now everyone is fine, thanks to me.”

Yes, Ranpo; everyone is good, besides the man who was brutally murdered.  

DEFENDS YOU AT ALL COST - If someone is talking about you, Ranpo never fails to stick up for you. 

When Ranpo overheard Kunikida ranting about the way you chose to confront the Black Lizards, Ranpo’s sassy defensive attitude jumped into action:

“I’m starting to think you’re just jealous that she can beat all three of them, but you can’t even handle one person with a few bombs.”   

Kunikida didn’t respond; he rolled his eyes and continued reading his emails.

Ranpo chuckled and muttered, “Thats what I thought. Keep their name out of your mouth.”   

ALWAYS reminds you that you’re loved beyond words. 

Ranpo knows you are living a difficult life. He acknowledges that you (like him) need to be reminded that you’re irreplaceable. Thus, he never fails to take your hand in his own, stare into your eyes, smile at you, and gently assure you, 

“I hope you know you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you beyond words. Thank you for accepting me and loving me.” 

NSFW

Let’s talk about this S.U.B.M.I.S.S.I.V.E. man: 

I’m choosing to address this first - You took Ranpo’s virginity on the night he admitted he was madly in love with you. 

 After Ranpo’s first sexual experience, he became a fucking      fiend... literally

Ranpo is a grower, not a shower. He’s not extremely large, but he is 6.5 inches. Though Ranpo doesn’t have the largest cock you’ve ever seen, he knows how to work it (that’s all that matters). 

Have you ever heard of a pillow prince? Well, that’s Ranpo.

His favorite sex position is Cowgirl.

He despises doesn’t enjoy being on top. 

Ranpo cannot determine which one he enjoys more; being praised or degraded. If I’m being honest; Ranpo is in the mood for any foul words that escape your lips when he’s horny. 

“You’ve been such a good boy solving all of those cases today. Do you think I should give you a little reward for being so helpful?” You’ll whisper in Ranpo’s ear as you’re stroking a hand over his prominent erection.  

“Do you enjoy fucking my pussy? You’re so fucking desperate for me, aren’t you?” 

Enjoys the image of your beautiful body clad in skimpy lingerie; especially two-piece sets that are burgundy red, forest green, brown, or dark yellow. 

Ranpo is a little perverted; especially when it comes to sniffing your panties.

You still fail to recognize how five or six pairs of your panties have gone missing.    

L.O.V.E.S. when you tease him: Ranpo will whine like a little baby, but he enjoys being toyed with. 

As Ranpo is sitting in front of your fully dressed figure clad in nothing but his underwear and wrinkled white button down, you’ll roughly grab his face and force him to look into your eyes. You will whisper, “Too bad you were a bad boy today. I was going to let you fuck me, but maybe I’ll suck your cock until you’re on the edge of cumming; then I’ll leave you to please yourself.”  

ADORES being strapped to the bed as you order him around. 

Ranpo’s BIGGEST weakness is having his arms and legs strapped to the headboard as you hover your pussy above his face.

“Oh baby, you’re so desperate for a taste; aren’t you?” 

He’ll beg, “Please, sit on my face.”       

Bonus points will be awarded if you don’t give the brat what he wants.

Let’s address the obvious:   FOOD PLAY 

If you strive to be in a relationship with Ranpo, you’ll need to incorporate candy in the bedroom. He enjoys using whipped cream, strawberries, cherries, caramel, and chocolate syrup. 

As Ranpo decorates your prominent nipples with whipped cream, he stares at your body wondering, “I wonder if the whipped cream is sweeter here, or her pussy?” He’ll have to taste both to decide. 

Ranpo LOVES replaying the time you dripped caramel syrup on your clit. He watches closely as he licks his lips ready to bury his tongue in you.   

“I know you love dessert.” Ranpo immediately nodded and jumped between your legs. Before he could eat the sweet liquid off of your pussy, you grab onto his hair holding him back. As Ranpo whines, you chuckle at his eagerness

“Open wide,” you order. Ranpo smiled and showed you his tongue. Slowly, you guide him to your clit.

Order Ranpo to mark you: Ranpo willingly acknowledges that he’s not a dominant individual within the bedroom, but he LOVES when your body physically shows that you’re his.  

Don’t get too lost: Ranpo a.d.o.r.e.s. when hickies decorate his neck, stomach, and hips as well.

Willingly buries his face in your pussy: 

Lean against the wall and drape your leg over his shoulder as Ranpo is tongue-length deep in your pussy. Watching your juices drip down his face is a sight you’ll never forget.

Thoroughly enjoys when you run your hands through his hair to pull him further into your cunt. 

“Oh God, you’re doing so good, baby.” You’ll moan as Ranpo drags in tongue over your clit. You tug his head closer indirectly ordering him to suck your pussy harder.

Suck Ranpo’s balls while you’re giving him a hand job. 

Caught up in the fast motions of your hand and the vibration your chuckling on his balls, Ranpo cannot help but moan, “Thank you, y/n.”  

BLINDFOLD HIM: Ranpo will let you do ANYTHING to him.   

Don’t be afraid to have a powerful presence - Say: “If you lay a hand on your cock before I get home, you won’t touch me for a week.” - a.k.a MASTERBATION BAN

O.r.g.a.s.m.         D.e.n.i.a.l. 

I dare you to Tease Ranpo until he’s about to cum. Before he explodes, leave him.   

  Poor Baby...

Try tying Ranpo’s limbs together before denying his release.

R.I.M.J.O.B.S: Ranpo’s Weakness

Please Degrade him while you’re eating his ass. Don’t worry, your hurtful words only add to Ranpo’s pleasure.   

Get’s D.R.U.N.K. on the feeling of your pussy pulsing on his cock. 

As you’re riding him, lean down into his ear, halt your movements, and whisper, “beg me to continue.” 

 “Please, please, please. I’m in love with your pussy and the way you squeeze me. Please don’t stop.”

Cums in your mouth or on your breasts. 

Ranpo also   L.O.V.E.S  being ordered to cum inside of your pussy with your consent. 

Hardly ANY aftercare. I’m sorry, Ranpo will fall asleep immediately. He’s a tired little baby and he isn’t afraid to admit it. 

Yes, he snores.

However, it is a requirement to cuddle after sex because Ranpo loves it. He enjoys being close to you and he needs reassurance that you’re not leaving after sharing such an intimate moment together. 

“I can’t keep my eyes open,” Ranpo will whisper throwing his head back on the pillow.   

“I know, baby. Go to sleep,” You’ll whisper as he begins snoring when his head falls on your shoulder.     

Before Ranpo drifts off to sleep, he will look over into your eyes, smile, and whisper, “Sleep well, I love you.”

Autistic Anime Boys Side B Round 1 Match 15

Propaganda:

Kaito -

"Can we please vote for the blue man and his cool scarf. Please.

Look at this man's face. He has autism swag, AND he's blue AND he sings! He's friends with Hatsune Miku, and he lives in your computer!! (Maybe).

He's the first male Vocaloid to be developed, and when first released he was considered a 'failure' due to the fact that he was not as popular as his female counterpart. This has changed since, and he is now more popular!!"

Ranpo -

"He's a narcissistic man-child, but you can't help but love him anyway. He really grows on you after you start getting into his tragic backstory of being an orphan at 14, then getting kicked out of the police academy for being too smart. The anime all but says he's autistic, with his adopted father figure acknowledging that Ranpo is much more intelligent than most people, and sees the world very differently."

東京創元社 乱歩傑作選

[meloriri]

AKECHI GORO — PERSONA 5 NAME ANALYSIS

Major p5r spoilers, minor “The Boy Detectives Club” spoilers.

First and foremost, I’m starting with Akechi because I thought his name was the most obvious, so I know the references in his name better. I will be making a post about Joker too, and hopefully more if I find enough material.

Akechi, meaning wisdom and intellect, Goro meaning “Fifth son.”

You might think that it was smart of the persona devs to name him Akechi for this reason, but it actually goes far deeper than that. (There’s reason for the name Goro too!)

(i promise this is relevant) Edogawa Rampo is a Japanese author who is highly important to mystery and thriller genre. He lived through the 19th-20th century and wrote many books considered classics.

Being a mystery writer, of course Edogawa had a main detective character. Known in the stories as “Japan’s greatest detective” is Akechi Kogoro, a private investigator inspired by Sherlock Holmes. That being said, naming your detective character “ Akechi” is pretty much equivalent to naming your detective character “Holmes.” Funny, right?

Akechi Kogoro is undeniable a genius, but quite eccentric. (For any BSD fans, the character Rampo is somewhat based off of Kogoro!) He appears in MANY of Edogawa’s books, as well as Edogawa’s juvenile fiction series, The Boy Detectives Club. Kogoro is a master of disguise, particularly good at disguising as young women. (Perhaps explaining Goro’s more typically effeminate appearance?)

Of course, Akechi Goro in Persona 5 is inspired by Akechi Kogoro, but it goes farther than that! I believe Goro is specifically based off of Kogoro in “The Fiend Of Twenty Faces,” the first book in Edogawa’s juvenile fiction series. The fiend of twenty faces is a gentleman thief based off of Arsène Lupin. I don’t want to spoil his name, So I’ll be calling the gentleman thief Kichi. Kichi and Kogoro have a relationship of mutual respect despite being rivals. Kichi is particularly well known for a character inspired by him, that character being Joker from Persona 5. I’d say Kichi is a notably worse person considering he threatened a group of ten year olds, but thats another story.

I won’t get too into whatever Kichi has going on since that’s more related to Joker than Goro, but you get the idea. Initially however, Kichi was going to be called “The phantom thief of twenty faces” but it was ruled out because… It wasn’t appropriate enough for kids..? Regardless, Joker and Goro are clear parallels to Kichi and Kogoro, from Mutual respect to their rather dramatic rivalry.

SECTION TWO - Akechi Goro & Akechi Mitsuhide

Goro’s name holds a genius double meaning — The other being historical figure Akechi Mitsuhide. Considering this is based on reality rather than fiction, this part may be a bit disturbing. I’ll be using Goro for Akechi Goro and Akechi for Akechi Mitsuhide, because it feels wrong to use his given name.

PS: Im a random canadian teenager, Please tell me if i got any history wrong!!!

Akechi was a samurai in the Sengoku period, but also a grand traitor. Best known as Oda Nobunaga(One of the three great unifiers of Japan)’s killer. Akechi was Oda’s bodyguard, but rebelled against him and forced him to commit seppaku, which is essentially suicide. Goro’s use of mental shutdowns is likely a reference to this, as is his rebellion against the Phantom Thieves.

SECTION THREE - Crow, Kuro, and Karasu.

Goro’s codename “Crow” is pronounced in Japanese as “Kuro”, which is “coincidentally” also the word for black. Because of this, as soon as the Black Mask was mentioned (i had already been spoiled on Goro’s codename) I immediately knew it was going to be him.

Crows represent misfortune and death, but also self-reflection and intelligence.

And finally, something that was most likely unintentional but I found funny nonetheless. When Akechi first teams up with the Phantom Thieves, he suggests his codename be “Karasu”, meaning crow. The other members suggest Crow instead since they all have english codenames. The first time (I think?) Joker is given an official name is in a spin-off manga, in which they call him Akira Kurusu. It probably means nothing, but I found the idea of codename Karasu working with Kurusu pretty funny, so I decided to mention it anyway.

That’s all I caught on to!! Let me know if I got anything wrong :)
